9:27am WilliamfromDumont:

Morning all!

9:34am Rocky Horror:

Hello everyone! Bob "The Frogman" Brainen Comeith

9:35am richard in brooklyn:

perhaps i've missed something along the way but looking at the new wfmu schedule, bob is conspicuously absent. end of an era? say it ain't so!

9:36am northguineahills:

I go swamping to get good field recordings at night (frogs usually dominate aurally).

9:38am Jeff:

Hey Doc + All, Good Timing!

9:38am Rocky Horror:

@ngh: Why not send your field recordings into WFMU so we all can hear them on someone's show

9:38am steveo:

are you sure? google says: 'No results found for "frogs dominate aurally"'

9:42am Colin and Danie in Durham, England:

Loved Dean. Look up British comic Daniel Kitson, he’s good friends with Demitri and they’re quite alike. He doesn’t put a lot out though so you may have to stoop to the bootlegs

9:48am Linda Lee:

@northguineahills ~ i love doing field recordings! aiming to do something at my new digs ~ natural sounds move through this bowl-shaped valley pretty amazingly. what kind of recorder do you use?

9:49am melinda:

@Rocky I think ngh has had some of his field recordings played on Neighbors Noise, on the GTDR stream

9:50am Rocky Horror:

@melinda cool!

9:50am Mailman Tom:

I love the Orlons! I have all their LPs and picture sleeve 45s. "Goin' Places" should have been a number 1 hit!

9:51am johnk77:

great show, selecter
Steven Wright's voice and demeanor
were the same off-stage and on
the 1 time i hung out w/him
in the eighties;>

9:53am Buddha of Suburbia:

Hi Bob! Hi Melinda! Linda Lee! Northguineahills! Yo, Rocky!

9:53am melinda:

@LL you should check out the first hour of Jesse's show, it's all field recordings. Same time slot as Morricone Island, so, one of those difficult choices.

9:54am Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Bob. Hi, Buddha. Hi, everyone.

9:55am Rocky Horror:

Hi Buddha

9:55am Linda Lee:

thanks melinda! i will!

9:55am Hughie Considine:

Hey Buddha! Long time no chat -- nice to see you on the Brainen show, one of my longtime faves ...

9:56am Rocky Horror:

Hi Ken from HP

9:56am Linda Lee:

love seeing you all around fmu Buddha!

9:57am Linda Lee:

10:00am Buddha of Suburbia:

Hey Ken! Hi ya Rocky! Soda Pop Curtis is that you?! *Putting on bifocals* Where have ya been?

10:01am Buddha of Suburbia:

Love seeing you too LL!

10:01am melinda:

hi Buddha!

10:02am Buddha of Suburbia:

Hi ya Melinda! What's shaking?

10:02am Buddha of Suburbia:

you sound tired Bob. I like it.

10:02am Jeff:

Richard In Brooklyn prompted me to take a look at the fall schedule. I, also, can’t find Bob anywhere.
I’ve been listening to Bob since 1980. In an increasingly fucked up world, his program is an oasis. I/we need him.
What’s up, Bob?

10:03am Linda Lee:

that's just Bob, Buddha. :-)

10:03am Linda Lee:

Jeff, are you kidding? let's go see.

10:04am Buddha of Suburbia:

10:04am Linda Lee:

Kerouac did a lovely set of pieces with Zoot Sims. haiku.

10:05am melinda:

Anne Sexton did readings with jazz too

10:06am Linda Lee:

Jeff's right, damn it.

10:06am Linda Lee:

@melinda ~ did she? must hear!

10:07am Linda Lee:

Buddha ~ Shirley Ellis did the song that inspired Rachel Bo Bachel. :-)

10:08am Buddha of Suburbia:

Whaa? Thought Rachel was just being quirky!

10:08am melinda:

@LL I heard it at an exhibit of stuff from her archive at the Ransom Center in Austin, haven't looked for it since then.

10:09am Linda Lee:

she was. but look up 'the name game'. folks my age knew it as kids.

🥁

10:09am WilliamfromDumont:

Gonna miss ya man.

10:10am unpopularfred:

I'll miss you Bob, you've become a part of my Saturday morning routine. Enjoy your hiatus.

10:10am Corey:

Great show as always, Bob! Going to miss spending Saturday mornings with your show!

10:11am Buddha of Suburbia:

Where'd ya go Hughie C?

10:11am Linda Lee:

@melinda ~ time to go detective! thanks.

10:11am the illuminated void:

wow .. working hard here on an art piece. FANTASTIC SHOW!!! thanks very productive music. For me

10:11am melinda:

I was shocked to see Bob absent from the schedule, too, this was my first FMU show 8-9 years ago.

10:11am Buddha of Suburbia:

I really dig this song.

10:11am Linda Lee:

no one can replace Bob Brainen. that's a fact.

10:12am northguineahills:

@Rocky: Jesse Kaminsky plays my unedited and edited field recordings on Neighbor's Noise on Give the Drummer Some stream Tuesdays 7pm-10pm. (sorry, was gardening, was away from the computer)

10:12am Buddha of Suburbia:

First Ken now Bob...I will miss tuning into you blokes!

10:13am Linda Lee:

as you should be, ngh. harvest time! :-)

10:13am Buddha of Suburbia:

How are you Northguineahills?

10:13am Jeff:

Bob, I know you’ve got a life, but.....
We’re gonna miss you - don’t stay away too long.

10:14am Buddha of Suburbia:

Illuminated Void! Hey buddy!

10:14am northguineahills:

So, this is what Stamey is up to now! Ohio gasaimasu, Buddha, LL, melinda, and everyone else! (actually slept a bit last night!)

10:15am Linda Lee:

so glad to hear it, ngh.

10:15am the illuminated void:

Namaste buddha. off for weekend i hope. I will email a piece i am working on

10:16am Buddha of Suburbia:

Illuminati Voido, please do! I'm excited to see everyone's work.

10:16am northguineahills:

@Buddha: epidermis is stil shite, but my friends gave me homeopathic pointers and local experts, to supplement my pharmeceuticals, so, I'm optimistic.

10:17am Buddha of Suburbia:

Glad to hear northguineahills. Will you be in NJ for the Art Auction?

10:19am the illuminated void:

cant remember my pass word or you email.... THAt sounds like clay. hahahaah

10:20am the illuminated void:

the falsetto i mean

10:21am Linda Lee:

thought for sure you meant the memory lapse :-)

10:22am Buddha of Suburbia:

Linda Lee, you're feisty today.

10:22am northguineahills:

I don't do monocultures, my veggies are all mixed together, w/ native flowers, but I need to go back out to weed some of the larger elephant ears and other plants that are encroaching my precious herbs and veggies.

@Buddha: due to my medical costs, I've cancelled my visit to my wife in BK, so, sadly, I won't be there (I have insurance, and it still costs me more then an airline ticket per month, well, that's what I get for living in a third-world country [accident of birt])

10:22am the illuminated void:

no bonnie turner. my writing is horrible

10:22am Buddha of Suburbia:

Is my profile pic too Goth/dreary? I can change it to fluffy clouds.

10:23am Jeff:

So, I started listening to Bob and Frank O’Toole (back to back) in 1980. Sometime in the late ‘80s, I’m at the Bottom Line with my girlfriend/future 1st and ex-wife. I start rapping to the guy sitting next to me, and, guess what? It’s Bob Brainen! He invites me to come and guest DJ with him, and I never do it.
What a putz I am!
Thanks for the memories, Bob

10:23am northguineahills:

errr... accident of birth (darn sticky keys)

10:24am Linda Lee:

amount of feisty is directly related to wakefulness here.
Goth? hardly! it's in color!

10:24am Buddha of Suburbia:

Northguineahills, i am sorry to hear that. You have been through so much. Offering you a virtual hug.

10:24am Linda Lee:

@Jeff ~ we've all got those putz stories, methinks :-)

10:25am Cooh John:

thanks for your great shows.

10:25am Buddha of Suburbia:

Thanks LL

10:25am Buddha of Suburbia:

Hey Cooh John

10:26am Jeff:

Thanks, Linda Lee

10:28am Linda Lee:

i was visiting LA in 73 with music biz familiy & invited to see the Dead play, from the guy who managed the theater. would've gotten close to the stage & backstage as well. i chose the beach. putzish! :-D

10:30am the illuminated void:

linda last show at JFK stadium in philly. Sold my dead tickets went to see jazz on delaware

10:30am Gordon FM:

Nooooooooooo! Don’t go away, Bob. Saturdays won’t be the same. :_

10:30am the illuminated void:

1984

10:31am Linda Lee:

oy. :-D

10:31am Rocky Horror:

And now... Bob "The Frogman" Brainen

10:32am the illuminated void:

does anybody know link for the archives folder DJ intitials to download mp4

10:33am Linda Lee:

still haven't lived mine down & for this reason i will welcome senility.
or death. :-D

10:33am the illuminated void:

i think i would gone to yours

10:34am jake:

Daniel closes

10:34am jake:

Clowes

10:35am northguineahills:

@Jeff: I guess that session wasn't archived. My sessions were mysteriously not archived and that was in the noughts of this millenia.

Thanks, Buddha, abrazos a cambio!

10:37am Linda Lee:

there's a bit of a karma story there. the manager's old lady & my aunt, her bestie, wouldn't guide my decision, though they were my 'babysitters'. i remember the manager's lady saying, 'let's not make this decision. let's let the kid decide. see how hip she is.' so i chose the beach. they were visibly disappointed. served em right! that's karma. :-D

10:37am northguineahills:

disappearing outside to tend to the garden, if I'm not back, thanks Bob!

10:38am northguineahills:

nice, LL!

10:40am Linda Lee:

thanks, i agree. i've been a karmic facilitator ever since. i tend to bring it about. ;-)

10:42am Linda Lee:

gosh, i love the Ivy League. love this stuff immensely.

10:43am northguineahills:

karma hasn't favored me the last few years, so I'm due! (bets on the Washington Generals vs the Harlem Globetrotters).

10:43am Jeff:

I saw the Dead and The Band in 1973. It was in Jersey City of all places! All I remember was Phil Lesh walking past me before the show with his eyes rolled back in his head. All I saw was the whites of his eyes. Reminded me of the first time I went to the Village Vanguard to see Pharoah Sanders. Freaked me out!

10:43am northguineahills:

What LL said...

10:44am Linda Lee:

wow. having a pre-show event i guess. :-D

10:45am Linda Lee:

what happened at the vanguard?

10:45am Linda Lee:

ngh ~ yes, you're due. just be kind. it'll catch up to you for sure. ;-)

10:45am Rocky Horror:

@ngh: I alway root for the Globetrotters

10:46am melinda:

@Jeff creepy! but good.

10:46am northguineahills:

I saw the Dead out of curiousity in '96. I wasn't too much into the music back then (I am now), but the people there were amazing human beings. I will never forget it. Then Jerry died a few months later. An unforgettable experience.

10:47am Linda Lee:

what the hell venus was there in JC in 73, Jeff? i grew up there, more or less, throughout the 60s & 70s. don't remember any venue at all.

10:47am steveo:

Great show today, Bob. I'm glad we have today.

10:47am northguineahills:

sadly, never got to see the Pharoah.....

10:47am Linda Lee:

glad you got to see them, ngh. i did not!

10:49am Dean:

Roosevelt Stadium: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./gdead/setlists/73.html

10:49am Linda Lee:

.. nor Pharoah. saw Sun Ra though! :-)

10:49am SmokinJ:

Nice mix bb.. 8-)

10:50am Blues Mandinga:

* getting happy*

10:50am northguineahills:

Saw the Arkestra, sans Sun Ra. still mindblowing.....

10:50am the illuminated void:

next lifetime linda lee you'll make a different choice

10:50am Jeff:

Roosevelt Stadium
I took the subway, the PATH train and a bus from Brooklyn to get there.
On the way back, my friend and I were almost hit by the PATH train - we were sitting on the ledge with our legs dangling down and looking the wrong way for the train. I got home at around 6-7 in the morning. My mother was standing at the door when I opened it. Made me wonder how long she was standing there?

10:52am Linda Lee:

@the illuminated void ~ truly hope i won't have to :-D
forgot all about Roosevelt Stadium! gosh.
@Jeff ~ wow. lucky you on that PATH train. silly wabbits!

10:52am Blues Mandinga:

Mother business, Jeff Bro.

10:52am Buddha of Suburbia:

I have a confession to make.

10:53am Linda Lee:

uh oh :-D

10:54am Rocky Horror:

Confess Buddha!! Confess!!

10:54am Buddha of Suburbia:

Sometimes I like to troll what you guys say on here while eating a small portion of gummy bears as I listen to Brainen's collection of tunes.

10:55am Blues Mandinga:

@Buddha, do you need a lawyer?

10:55am Dennis Diken:

great show Bob! love the Ivy League. the other 2 songs by them that really send me are "Funny How Love Can Be" and "That's Why I'm Crying." I always felt there's a strong Tokens influence in their music.

10:55am Linda Lee:

i'm guessing that's the behavior of many, Buddha. probably minus the gummies.

10:55am Hughie Considine:

Must have got lost @Buddha. Actually had a moment to write feverishly! Looking forward to catching up w/ you!

10:56am Linda Lee:

thanks for the recommends, Dennis D!

10:56am Dean:

Wow. Had no idea Bleckmann performed Ives!

10:56am melinda:

@Buddha that's just lurking, lots of lurkers

10:57am Linda Lee:

this set is my life today. fantastic. thank you Bob!!

10:57am Buddha of Suburbia:

Blues Mandinga, I think people secretly like to be studied/observed from a distance. I am a garden variety lurker.

10:57am Dean:

It was a Grammy nominee, and I missed it.

10:58am Buddha of Suburbia:

Hi Hughie! Please email me more of your wonderful writings! Looking forward to it.

10:58am TDK60:

Hello. Sun Ra Arkestra plays today at Union Pool in Brooklyn. A free gig! I'm gonna try to go, but know I may be turned back if it fills up. Never been there; is it big?

10:58am Linda Lee:

i really don't. this is why there's scotch tape over my laptop cam :-D

10:59am Rocky Horror:

Sounded like somebody had stollen Clay's sound effects

10:59am melinda:

I need to tape my cam, too, LL, thanks for the reminder

10:59am Linda Lee:

hey there TDK60! more room in the deep end, for sure. ;-) get there early as you can.

11:00am Buddha of Suburbia:

Linda Lee, so do you think I should keep this new profile pic up? Every time I see my mug on here I get the heebie jeebies.

11:00am Santos L. Halper:

We'll miss you Bob! One more next week i hope?

11:00am Rocky Horror:

And now... Bob "The Frogman" Brainen

11:00am Linda Lee:

folks use opaque, but i like the images you get through scotch tape!

11:01am Ken From Hyde Park:

Time to hop on out already? Have a good week, Bob.

11:01am Linda Lee:

Buddha ~ i like the new pic. but no one likes the heebie jeebies.

11:01am Blues Mandinga:

@Buddha I prefer to be studied from the closeness.

11:01am Buddha of Suburbia:

Bob is this is the last day for a while?
