Branford was pretty awful toward "free jazz" in the Burns doc. Maybe he felt the need to apologize.

@ndbob - I bet my mother could've converted you with "Aunt Edna's Broccoli Casserole" - 2 boxes frozen chopped broccoli (defrosted) mixed w. an entire large box of Velveeta, cubed - topped with 1 cylinder of Ritz crackers (crushed) and a whole stick of melted butter. 50s white trash food at its finest. Haven't had in years but I bet I could still eat the whole (9x13) pan.

btw I LOVE broccoli. After ages of lightly steaming, roasting, sauteeing etc I've been rediscovering loooonnnng braising (i.e., making mush) which is sinfully good. I get plenty of vitamins elsewhere :-)

Branford and Parker would be a new one on me, but could be. Parker has played with so many...

Wow, Van!

I should get a job faking foreign accents. I once got a "good job" on my Portuguese from a listener in Rio De Janeiro. The secret is sounding confident in yourself.

Music is Latin, singing is African?

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
If you don't stay tuned and listen to Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time radio show, up next on the Drummer Stream (playlist here: wfmu.org...) I will send Vinko Globokar over to your house to play YOU!

Doug, you mentioned the Thai music site...I had that link at one time but new computer, lost my bookmarks. Is that site still active by chance?
Avatar 11:23am Cecile:

but what if you are Bryce's mindless subject?

Wait..I remember Branford Marsalis being instrumental in getting David S. Ware signed to Columbia back in the day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:35am Doug Schulkind:

In every man, a little bit of dog.

@Cecile
Not so sure that David S. Ware getting signed to Columbia was a good thing. Pretty sure Ware didn't have positive things to say about it. I could be wrong, but that is my recollection.

See ya later, ngh!

Let us name the dancing hamsters Vinko Globokar and Keyser Söze and so we make these names less terrible and lighten our fear.
Avatar 11:37am Cecile:

it wasn't a great thing at the time, but for a lot of people it was how they learned about him. And one of the discs that still can be found. And it's a decent one!

Dan Greer sound quite Jerry Williams Jr-ish (aka Swamp Dogg) here .

Citations are an amazing thing, aren't they?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Done and done. Vinko and Keyser shall dance eternal.
Avatar 11:47am Van in DC:

Dancing? Looks like they're sleep walking to me ha ha
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Sloooow dancing, Van.
Avatar 11:49am Cecile:

slow. real. slow.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Excellent point, Cecile. Major label can have longer-range benefits for artists, even if they suck for them in the short term.

I think they're mimes...pretending to be trapped in an aquarium.

damn this is a great take on Everyday People. Solid.

Don't y'all forget to get Hinky Dinkied: wfmu.org...
Avatar 11:53am Cecile:

even if the only reason is that there are more copies in the used bins than indie label releases.

If I ever make a movie, this song will be in there somewhere.

Just back from lunch. Salmon in phyllo with rice — with a side of steamed broccoli, as it happens.

Wow, nice closing there, thanks Doug!

Great great show today, Doug.

See you all shortly!
Avatar 11:57am earrie:

I'm left demanding evidence on all that big label talk. But meh, I don't really care anyway, so.

Lovely listening, Doug.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am Stanley:

Great show, Doug.
I love my Friday afternoons!
