WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 04/26/13

Listener comments!

8:39am duke:

It's time to get on down and give the accordionist some?

♥ 8:43am Doug Schulkind:

I see you're all keyed up, Duke!

♥ 8:46am Brian in UK:

Left-handed accordians, just turn them upsidedown?

♥ 8:47am Doug Schulkind:

Is that a back-handed compliment, Brian in UK?

♥ 8:48am Brian in UK:

Doug, where do the Psychedelic Aliens hail from?

♥ 8:49am Doug Schulkind:

Ghana

8:50am glenn:

i was going to say brian's house. zing!

♥ 8:51am Doug Schulkind:

glenn = zing

♥ 8:53am listener james from westwood:

good friday, all! echoing doug's email, props to jeff moore for all the tech wizardry this week. the magic he, kenzo, and the terrestrial-radio tech crew wring out of such tight resources at fmu is always a wonder.

♥ 8:53am Brian in UK:

Nice one glenn.

8:54am duke:

BTW, thanks for the Motherload link to the Raphe Malik tracks. He has been a favorite ever since I saw him many years ago.

♥ 8:54am listener james from westwood:

witness the virgin cruise of the performance space during the 'thon, which sounded great from this side of the radio.

8:55am glenn:

it's no wonder i can't find a buyer for my accordion. those guys have cornered the market.

♥ 8:55am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Once you've listened to GTDS, you go to heaven on 77 virgin cruises!

♥ 8:56am Brian in UK:

Am I imagining psychedelic coloured spots?

8:56am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

♥ 8:57am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Glad you dig the Raphe Malik. He's a fave of mine, too.

@ndbob!

8:57am Van in DC:

According to my clock, I am accordingly here in time to accord. Or something. Hi!

♥ 8:58am Doug Schulkind:

J'accord, Van!

♥ 8:58am Brian in UK:

Branson heaven. Perish the thought.

♥ 8:58am listener james from westwood:

well, i'd better start buying lots of cruise wear, then. which way to the garish tropical prints?

♥ 8:59am Doug Schulkind:

I just turned up the volume in my headphones. WAY better.

♥ 8:59am listener james from westwood:

brian, it's just something in the water to pep things up. the symptoms fade in a couple of years.

8:59am still b/p:

...and all with virgin crewses! That's a Love Boat, boyeeee. (Sorry to be so crewed and vulgar.)

♥ 8:59am Brian in UK:

Bottom right is the Garth Hudson impersonator.

♥ 8:59am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Jeez, I hope they don't have "poop" problems on those virgin cruises.

♥ 9:00am listener james from westwood:

"volume! clarity! bass! we must have bass! are we goddamned old ladies?"

♥ 9:01am listener james from westwood:

i gotta believe once you get to heaven, stuff like norovirus gets left at the pearly gates. hopefully not literally.

9:02am glenn:

i read that garth hudson would charge the members of the band something like 10$ a week each for music lessons. something to do with musician's union rules, if i remember rightly.

♥ 9:03am Brian in UK:

They have bogs like you get at festivals except there is no music. Suckers. Sanopan was it?

♥ 9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya still b/p!

♥ 9:05am Brian in UK:

@glenn I remember seeing The Band at the Albert Hall and he (Garth) wandered on stage like he came in off the streets playing a sax. Cool as a cucumber. What a band.

9:05am glenn:

actually, his parent's rules. "Fearing that his parents would think he was squandering his years of music education by playing in a rock and roll band, Hudson joined the band on the condition he be given the title "music consultant" and that his bandmates each pay him $10 a week for music lessons, allowing him to mollify his family's fears that his education had gone to waste. Revealing a bit of the thinking behind his early fears, in The Last Waltz Hudson told interviewer-director Martin Scorsese: "There is a view that jazz is 'evil' because it comes from evil people, but actually the greatest priests on 52nd Street and on the streets of New York City were the musicians. They were doing the greatest healing work. They knew how to punch through music that would cure and make people feel good."
[edit]

9:05am KevinfromBayRidge:

A bright & cheery good morning to our western(slightly) FMU contingent!

9:07am northguineahills:

Jumping back o'er here. Hadn't listened to Scott's show in a while so I did so last week.

♥ 9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Hi K from B!

What the hell, NGH? You've got two ears!

♥ 9:10am Brian in UK:

Hello ngh. One day Doug & Scott are going to play the same toon at the same time. It will happen; might be in Zager & Evans time.

♥ 9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Just kidding, of course. I would be listening to Scott if I could.

9:11am still b/p:

Goooood morning!

I wish I could use the TK421, which, Buck tells us, "kicks it up another 3 or 4 quads per channel."

♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind:

My favorite Bucks right now: Showalter and John.

9:13am northguineahills:

I have had both streams on at the same time before. However, it can be hard for my wee brain early in the 'morn.

9:14am trish:

"Dear spring Friday, c'mon in."
Good music morning to one and all.

9:14am still b/p:

"He and Phillies pitcher Jeremy Horst are the only active players who were born in Wyoming."

♥ 9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Yay Trish!

9:18am ndbob:

it's actually springtime here - at least for today - could hit 60

♥ 9:19am listener james from westwood:

i like the sound of that 60, ndbob!

9:19am ndbob:

great set here Doug!

♥ 9:21am Doug Schulkind:

There was an overnight frost warning here. All those poor kielbasi gonna die on the vine.

9:22am ndbob:

Still some piles of snow around though - should rapidly diminish

9:22am ndbob:

Hoyt's best song here

9:23am still b/p:

In 3D.

♥ 9:25am Brian in UK:

@ndbob I used to own Hoyt's 'My Griffin is Gone'. Wonder what happened to it.

9:26am glenn:

every time i hear the original of a detroit cobras song, i give them big credit for great taste.

9:27am ndbob:

@Brian pretty good record ... I had the 45 of "Double Double Dare"

♥ 9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Their cover is a gas gas gas.

9:30am glenn:

timing is everything. news.nationalpost.com...

🥁

♥ 9:31am Rich in Washington:

@Brian in UK: Griffin is one of Hoyt's best. Really great psych-country

♥ 9:32am Alex In Illinois:

Good morning. Quick question, the drummer.wfmu.org URL does not seem to be working. Is there a new one?

🥁

♥ 9:32am Rich in Washington:

Great show, Doug!
I almost didn't make it. for some reason, my link in iTunes was dead and I had to reload from the posted url.

♥ 9:33am Brian in UK:

@Rich Hell I want to hear it now. On the Natural etc.

🥁

♥ 9:34am Rich in Washington:

@Alex. I had the same problem. I just loaded the url from Doug's email/Facebook posting and it worked.
I suspect URL's get outdated eventually, like a carton of milk.

♥ 9:36am Doug Schulkind:

You have to reestablish the stream in iTunes using the same old link: wfmu.org...

This was due to a server crash yesterday.

♥ 9:37am Doug Schulkind:

The comments thingy here hyperlinks the URL but here it is: http:// wfmu.org/wfmu_drummer.pls

(Just close up the space after the slashes)

♥ 9:38am Alex In Illinois:

@Rich
I do not have access to facebook here at work nor access to personal home email here either.
@Doug
Windows Media player does not handle files of .pls type

♥ 9:38am Artie:

The man's name is Drink Small? I'd treat that like a warning label...

♥ 9:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex
I will email WFMU's tech poobah Jeff Moore and find out.

♥ 9:40am Artie:

@Alex - try the raw URL that the .pls file points to: stream0.wfmu.org...

♥ 9:40am listener james from westwood:

alex, if you haven't given it a try, would the flash player link work? www.wfmu.org...

9:41am northguineahills:

I'd like to hear a Mo' Wax recs set. It's been forever since I used to scrounge the bins looking for their releases.

♥ 9:42am Alex In Illinois:

@LJFW
THanks! That one is working!

♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you Artie!

9:44am trish:

@Alex
Here's an image how-to http://www.thewindowsclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Windows-Media-Player-File-menu-400x309.png

Toss an http:// in front of the address Artie posted

9:45am still b/p:

I really liked that We've Been Buked!

♥ 9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Drink Small is also known as "the Blues Doctor," but I haven't been able to discover his birth name. Anyone find it?

9:49am northguineahills:

William Tyler, new to me!

♥ 9:49am Alex In Illinois:

Now I can consider this to be Friday for real and the home stretch to the weekend. I am going to set up a shortcut to launch that flash player.

9:50am northguineahills:

also, really dug that Cyril Lefebvre.

9:50am Van in DC:

Did you find this in the FMU new bin Doug?

9:51am trish:

It's old news (2010), but fyi Alex http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/technology/21cookie.html
Code That Tracks Users’ Browsing Prompts Lawsuits

♥ 9:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Van
I bet it is in the new bin. I got this from a private blog that posts a ton of stuff that is very new-bin-ish.

🥁

♥ 9:52am Rich in Washington:

I recently found a great old Folkways record: Music Therapy with the Developmentally Handicapped. That and one called Voices of the Satellites, which is really peculiar.

9:53am ndbob:

Drink Small (his real name) was born in 1933 in Bishopville (Lee County), SC. Known worldwide as "The Blues Doctor", he plays virtuoso blues guitar, two-fisted piano, and sings in an inimitable basso profundo voice.

9:53am Van in DC:

I like it. Thought you might have loaded up during your most recent trip to the mothership :)

9:53am ndbob:

www.livebluesworld.com...

♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Same with the next track, a private press gem from 1972 that is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance.

9:59am AndrewC.:

what will private press mean now, when everything is self published onto the web?

10:03am northguineahills:

I'm on the fourth episode of the Sopranos (first season), I only saw a handful of episodes the first time around.

♥ 10:05am listener james from westwood:

doug, if you want a good series of deep essays on "the sopranos" written during a rewatch (or possibly a 1st-time watch), check out todd vanderwerff's writeups on the onion's av club site. (here's the one on the pilot: www.avclub.com...). alan sepinwall also discusses the series in his recent book about cable dramas in the 2000s.

10:05am AndrewC.:

Wow - these Latin Playboys sound like they had a real hard night! Their playboying is over for a few days.

♥ 10:06am Doug Schulkind:

@AndrewC
Good point. (Your earlier thought about "private press") Your second observation is on point, too.

♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Thanks for der linkage.

10:09am AndrewC.:

Right now, when I see private press, I'm assuming some crate digger has found a unknown gem in some dusty attic.

♥ 10:11am listener james from westwood:

no sweat!
(for those outside the tri-state area, sepinwall was one of the newark star-ledger's tv writers, now indie iirc. excellent writer; if his sopranos writeups are still up anywhere, also worth chasing down if only b/c it was filmed in his stomping grounds. how he gets his writeups for "mad men" up so quickly i have no idea.)

♥ 10:14am Doug Schulkind:

You know, Listener James, now that you mentioned Sepinwall's pedigree, I'm pretty sure I read his Soprano's pieces contemporaneously. Terrific stuff, if I recall.

♥ 10:15am Doug Schulkind:

@Andrew
My Mining the Audio Motherlode posts is exactly that, without the dust. Or the attic.

♥ 10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of which... That José Afonso track and this next one, from Roberto Darvin, are both shared in today's new Mining the Audio Motherlode: bit.ly...

♥ 10:18am Doug Schulkind:

ZOINKS!!

♥ 10:20am Doug Schulkind:

I'll bet you a million dollars you won't guess who is leading off our next set...

♥ 10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Hey! No peeking!

10:25am ndbob:

George Jones, country superstar, has died at 81

bigstory.ap.org...

♥ 10:26am listener james from westwood:

Shit. First person I think of is Laura Cantrell.

♥ 10:26am listener james from westwood:

And then Dave the Spazz.

10:26am still b/p:

@ ngh -- a favorite Sopranos note: Steven Van Zandt said "the toupee did all the acting."

♥ 10:29am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe the Possum is just playing dead? (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

10:29am George Wallace:

This ain't no Drummer Some song, is it?

10:30am trish:

AP?
There's a news org with some serious credibility issues.
-Hacked <cough> tweets.
-Rewriting articles after publication.

♥ 10:31am Doug Schulkind:

@George Wallace
How's it wheelin'?

♥ 10:33am listener james from westwood:

@trish, i think the rewriting part is part of the way ap releases news as it's updated. there ought to be some sort of identifier showing that it's a later revision, iirc.

10:33am George Wallace:

....stones are heavy in hell, my friend....

10:35am hyde:

aw man, I never posted on the Drummer Some playlist before and now I come to do it only to find George Jones has died. For me, there's never been a better country singer. Ever.

♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Hyde! Welcome to the party. Sorry to deliver the bad news.

10:37am trish:

They should not only timestamp the revisions, they need to come clean on the changes and show the differences with 'diff'. Credibility drops to zero over time without these outside of a physical hardcopy.

♥ 10:39am Doug Schulkind:

George Jones: He Stopped Living Here Today (really sorry)

10:40am trish:

RIP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jones

10:42am Van in DC:

good stuff, this...

♥ 10:42am listener james from westwood:

that is awful and awesome, doug. awfulsome.

♥ 10:43am Jeff Golick:

Good morning, everyone.

♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Jeff "Live" Golick!

♥ 10:45am Jeff Golick:

Started listening at the first mic break, but was simultaneously trying to install a new wireless router at home, and things quickly went southl. Was able to listen via iPhone app, thankfully. Kept me from punching a hole in the wall.

♥ 10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Love the Mingus quote in that bass clarinet solo.

♥ 10:46am Jeff Golick:

So Monday's first-ever live D:O Radio show should go well.

♥ 10:46am Jeff Golick:

Bennink recently had a birthday, I believe.

10:46am hyde:

the Jones autobio "I lived to tell it all" is a great read. The Deedoodle the Duck stuff is jawdropping. I also like when Tammy kicks him out & he gets an apartment with Johnny Cash. Poor neighbors.

♥ 10:47am Jeff Golick:

Izzat Michael Moore?

♥ 10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Michael Moore is a good surmise, but no. Jeff, I'd like you to meet Joachim Badenhorst.

♥ 10:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff
You may need that hole in the wall. You should run cables from your router (IMHO).

♥ 10:57am Jeff Golick:

Hi, M. Badenhorst.
And so long, Mr. Jones.

11:03am Carmichael:

Good morning Dougie boy. Hello Drummers, actual and inspired.

♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Maestro Carmichael, your tuxedo fits perfectly!

♥ 11:09am Brian in UK:

That Cape Verde toon sounded like someone asking directions to a place that did not exist.

♥ 11:15am Doug Schulkind:

It exists, Brian. Around three inches behind your nose.

♥ 11:20am Alex In Illinois:

Souds like is playing one of those diatonic squeezeboxes with the spoon valves. Kind of like what is used in Cajun and some Zydeco. What Leadbelly called a "Windjammer".

♥ 11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Like this, Alex? s566.photobucket.com...

♥ 11:25am Uncle Michael:

Use an accordion, go to jail.

♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind:

¡Hola, Tio Miguel!

♥ 11:26am Uncle Michael:

Hola!

♥ 11:31am Alex In Illinois:

@Doug
Yes. That looks like a nice newly-built one.

@UNcleMichael:
I can take care of confiscating them when you send their players to jail, okay?

♥ 11:33am Uncle Michael:

When accordions are outlawed, only Alex In Illinois will have accordions.

♥ 11:34am Alex In Illinois:

Here's Leadbelly:

11:35am Carmichael:

Here's a classic standard cajun accordion: fiddleboy.net...

♥ 11:39am Uncle Michael:

Kip Winger: www.metal-archives.com...

♥ 11:41am Uncle Michael:

Oh, shit. I just picked up on the Possum news. Dammit.

♥ 11:44am listener james from westwood:

must scoot outta here; thanks a ton, doug, for the fine fine show. be well, all!

♥ 11:44am Alex In Illinois:

These cajun accordions like the one you are showing are modern versions that are made with higher-quality materials and workmanship than the old original ones they are based on.
I have some old 2-row models, and I have had two of them restored by a guy who says that it is kind of nuts to restore them.

♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind:

So long, Listener James. Have a non-squerzy weekend!

11:54am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Almost time to pack our minds, friends. But there are a few more song tricks up my sleeve.

♥ 11:54am Brian in UK:

Thank you compiler. Top job.

♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind:

If you looked around the floor of my studio, you'd just call me "piler"

♥ 11:56am Uncle Michael:

Hey, if you're all not doing anything next Friday...

♥ 11:56am Brian in UK:

Just had this horrible image of the naked male accordianist.

11:56am trish:

Finder. Sequencer.
Good dj

♥ 11:58am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the tail-end, Doug...talk to you all later...we're heading for the beach.

11:58am Carmichael:

Thanks Doug!

11:59am Van in DC:

Thanks Sir Doug

♥ 11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Be here next week for Uncle Michael's debut!

♥ 11:59am Brian in UK:

@UM dos cerveza, por favor.

12:00pm Paul Sherratt:

Wow

♥ 12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

It is always my great pleasure. Thank you for hanging with me, everyhumans!

♥ 12:01pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, Doug!

♥ 12:02pm Brian in UK:

@Paul now that is fashionable late.

♥ 12:08pm Doug Schulkind:

A live D:O Radio is always better than a dead one, I've always said.

♥ 12:08pm Alex In Illinois:

This show makes the time between Friday Morning and the start of the weekend pass more quickly.

♥ 12:09pm Doug Schulkind:

I do it with mirrors, Alex.

12:10pm Van in DC:

And accordians!

♥ 12:14pm Doug Schulkind:
