In case my comment was ambiguous what I meant was that music one likes on WFMU often shows up again in later shows so there is a chance to hear it again even if you don't go out and buy the music. I didn't actually win the Onyeabor prize.

OMG where did you find this one?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:41am Doug Schulkind:

You love this existential stuff, jessie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Bobby "Blue" Bland does a killer version of I'm Not Ashamed. Not sure which came first.
Avatar 11:45am Flash Strap:

i completely concur. a good hand overplayed. didn't help that the more we learned about Onyeabor the more it became clear he was sort of not a good guy

this set is INTENSELY good
Avatar 11:45am ndbob:

Kind of agree there Doug
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Onyeabor made it clear he wanted to be left alone. His wish should have been respected.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Plus, the fetishization of the "outsider" African artiste was just too fucking much. Strip away all the hype and you end up with some really wonderful music.
Avatar 11:48am annie:

great tunes to walk into the house to, had to check the seedlings and water the spinach. i can hear the music through the open window, though. there's something about music wafting through windows.

Jean Knight = Ms. Good Stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am Doug Schulkind:

We all gotta water the spinach sometime, annie.

I leave WFMU on when I go for a walk sometimes so it's waiting for me when I come home.
Avatar 11:52am Flash Strap:

completely agree Doug, and its really a relief to see someone else say what I've been thinking. sort of not too proud of my involvement in some of that stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:52am Stanley:

@Flash Strap - I sorta got that feeling somehow from his recordings. Just a feeling.I @Doug - this is doing it for me gooood.

We're tourists. The cultural dissonance we bring to the expressions of other world is real. I make no attempt to ignore my own parochialisms and fascinations. Otherness is a hook, as functional as any other. I'm unabashed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Flash Strap
No, my friend, you had it completely right. You were just sharing the joy fullstop. All that other stuff was just a wave of noise that submerged you.

If I was her dad, I think I'd better stay the hell out of her way

I suppor this rebellious act
Avatar 11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:58am Doug Schulkind:

We dads of daughters have all gotta get the hell out of the way. In a good way. Hello AndrewC!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:59am Stanley:

@Brian - you can buy a fancy car but you can't buy soul.
D'ya hear?
  11:59am Listener Gregory:

I love the guitar intro. Who says you need different notes to be effective?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, ndbob!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:59am holland oats:

A weird twist of economics, how you can't buy soul, but you CAN sell it.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:59am listener james from westwood:

Whoa, much to read upstream in this thread. Always happy for sprightly conversations here. And of course for fine fine music. Thanks, Doug, for bringing both!
Avatar 11:59am Flash Strap:

thanks doug

@UM: I agree generally, but there's always a line. it's often crossed in the marketing department, and it leaves an ultimately impermanent but also indelible stink
  12:00pm Mr C:

Bobby's was first...
Avatar 12:01pm Michael:

Super show Doug - thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Mr C. I shoulda known.
