Listener comments!

8:44am glenn:

the jeffrey tambor-ine peace arch?

8:45am Doug Schulkind:

Take that out and rehearse it, glenn.

8:48am glenn:

i'll need a blonde wig and some white go-go boots.

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

I think we've got some over in the GTDS dress-ups basket. You'll have to fight northguineahills for the boots, though.

🥁

8:57am Brian in UK:

G'day Doug 'n glenn

@glenn thought you might like this as you are the worlds biggest fan

8:57am duke:

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man. I mean Drummer Man

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Shake it against yer ass, duke!

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Uncle Michael:

Good morning. What is the technical term for the jingly things on a tambourine?

🥁

8:59am listener james from westwood:

Morning, all! Thus far a D– of a day, but hopeful that 6 hr of GTDR will edge it up to a gentlefolks' C.

8:59am Van in DC:

Give the tambourine some! Morning Doug and peoples

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, ndbob! Greetings, Listener James! How-deeee, Van!

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Have some tea for me, Brian in UK!

🥁

9:01am βrian:

My we're up early today! The skies are on the ground over the isthmus today. Pea soup.

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael, not sure what the little shaker things are called, technically, but the tradition of hanging little buzzy rattling things on your percussion instruments goes back centuries in Africa. musc265proj.blogs.wesleyan.edu...

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

How'r things on the ol' isthmus, βrian?

9:05am ndbob:

the outcasts Doug

9:06am Doug Schulkind:

Thanx, ndbob! You are the resident GTDS historian after all.

🥁

9:07am Brian in UK:

Cor blimey it's a real pea souper tonight guv'nor.
We have Saharan sand over here no less. We do need to increase our exports though.

🥁

9:07am βrian:

We're still occupied by a hostile regime, sadly. But at least we're on the cusp of spring.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

No easy Walker to freedom, βrian.

9:08am Uncle Michael:

I have a "little shaker thing" (thanks, Doug!). That flew off Carlos Santana's tambourine and landed right in front of my face as I was photographing him in performance. I was elbows on the stage and I just pocketed it. I had it on a key ring for about a decade.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Does it look like Jesse Thomas has a baby face to you? www.wirz.de...

🥁

9:09am Brian in UK:

Doug, I mentioned yesterday but it is still relevant. Danny Thompson's seventy fifth birthday today. Congratulations to anyone who can survive John Martyn & all those other folk singers.

🥁

9:11am Brian in UK:

By survive I mean working with them not just his longevity.

🥁

9:11am listener james from westwood:

UM: Looks like they're called "zills" or "zils."

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

That's just zilly, LJFW.

9:12am Alex In Illinois:

I am not able to tune in Give The Drummer Some on the APP anymore. The WFMU APP has been changed so that it does not allow access to the alternate streams.

🥁

9:12am listener james from westwood:

Oh, if I had a monopoly on those. I'd be a zillionaire.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

You'd better hold onto that, Uncle Michael. It may become worthless some day.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
Wha? That's a disaster! Are you talking the iPhone or Android app? Are positively sure? Have you tried downloading the app again? My app works fine. Haven't heard any other reports of this. Anyone else have any problems?

Alex, you absolutely must report this to the authorities. Send Ken Freedman an email at the station. Yikes!

🥁

9:17am listener james from westwood:

GTDR stream OK on my iPod Touch. Using v 4.0.1 (273). Is that what you have, Alex?

9:17am Uncle Michael:

Alex, click on the musical note to get to the stream list. I'm sorry to say that the latest version of the UI is less intuitive than the one it replaces.

Also, can you check to see if the archived shows are all off by one calendar day?

9:17am Webhamster Henry:

I'm listening on the app just fine.

9:19am Uncle Michael:

A musical note on the left for the stream list...then a musical note on the right for now playing?

Ugh.

9:19am Parq:

Alex, if you're still here, there's a blue musical note on the upper right corner, which is the menu bar. That's where you'll find the links to all the alt streams. Took me a while to figure it out, too.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Guitar Shorty's birth name sounds like a dude from a very different universe: John Henry Fortescue.

9:20am Parq:

Ah, in the time it took me to double check, Uncle M leaped into the breach.

9:20am Parq:

Wait, upper left corner, sorry. I'm going back to my coffee now.

9:20am Alex In Illinois:

@Parq:
THANKS! Whew! You are a lifesaver! I am not sure why they could not have that screen available form the menu screen.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Anyone else hear crickets in the background of this number?!

9:22am Uncle Michael:

I have to tell a joke in order to hear crickets.

9:22am Konin:

If you listen really good, yes, crickets!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael

[..............]

9:23am Webhamster Henry:

I wrote the first WFMU iPhone app, but didn't write that one! But send all user experience feedback to Ken!

9:26am Parq:

Doug, allow me.
www.youtube.com...

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Hi there Konin!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Morning Parq! If I click on that link, the Youtube will take over the show. Must...not...click...

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

God obviously didn't provide Rev. Brunson with a windscreen for his microphone.

🥁

9:31am βrian:

This apostate loves him some gospel! Renaissance liturgical music, too. Wassup with that?

9:33am Holly in NC:

Hi Doug & all!

I have the latest Android app & it's lovely, full screen menu lists all streams as well as mono & stereo options for the main stream - sounds like interface is quite different from Apple app described above. ??

🥁

9:34am listener james from westwood:

βrian: Same here with this atheist. Dig the hell out of Sinner's Crossroads, even though I'll never join in the believing.

🥁

9:39am βrian:

Polyglot, too, this community. What I can't read, I still enjoy scrutinizing.

🥁

9:39am duke:

I believe in Sinner's Crossroads. It's good for whatever religion or non-religion you practice.

9:40am epistrophy:

Doug,

Rev. Milton Brunson (1929-1997) wasn't from LA. He was rooted in Chicago's West Side (Christ Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church).

9:40am Webhamster Henry:

I looked up Jackson do Pandeiro (memorialized in that giant tambourine there...) and I feel ignorant.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Holly!

Thanks for applying the rod of correction, epistrophy!

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
If you gotta be a glot, be a polyglot.

9:42am glenn:

spare the rod, spoil the deejay.

🥁

9:43am βrian:

Or, don't be stopped by a glottal stop?

9:43am Holly in NC:

Sinner's Crossroads is a treasure.

Come to think of it, every single person I know irl who listens to gospel for pleasure, outside of a formal church meeting, is an atheist, including me.

9:43am Uncle Michael:

I am more of the uvular fricative.

🥁

9:43am βrian:

@LJ Westwood: I haven't listened before. Thanks for the tip.

🥁

9:45am βrian:

"Tish, that's phonetics!"

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Careful Uncle Michael, this is a family show.

🥁

9:47am duke:

uvular fricative is my new insult. "Yah, well you're a uvular fricative."

9:47am Stevel:

Burmese! Believe it or not, we have about 6,000+ refugees living in the Fort Wayne Area. This music is a bit more adventurous than what I usually hear performed locally, but very familiar.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

By the way, here is what the pat waing, the "magic drum circle" looks like: 1.bp.blogspot.com...

🥁

9:48am listener james from westwood:

βrian: It's great stuff. Not sure if it's one of the podcasts, but it's a nice hour no matter when you listen during the day, and there's a good decade+ of archives.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

There is drop-dead gorgeous and haunting piano music from Burma. Otherwordly.

9:50am Uncle Michael:

I'm not entirely sold on the UI of the newest app but the functionality is fantastic. The download function makes every show effectively a podcast on the device in operation.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

This photo is for ndbob: theconcourse.deadspin.com...

9:50am Holly in NC:

@Doug - drum circle is astonishing, what a great photo, I had no idea!

9:51am still b/p:

Playpen of Dreams.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Oops, Nebraska! In my head, I was thinking North Dakota. Oh well. Don't look, people!

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Holly
Are you thinking Neil Peart, too?!?

9:53am Uncle Michael:

Kearney will be so proud to finally be on the map.

9:55am Holly in NC:

@UM - On Android app one can dl & forever save any show that's currently in app archives (which is most recent 5 broadcasts of every show, I think? Not near my phone right now) - is that how it works for iOs also?

@Doug - YES

9:58am Uncle Michael:

@Holly, I believe that's correct.

If you are playing a saved show, that's what the mysterious "Nav" thing on the main screen is for.

It will be handy to download shows for roadtrips where signal is spotty.

9:59am Uncle Michael:

And I have Android so I have no knowledge of the iOS app.

9:59am ndbob:

@Doug my dad was from Nebraska, so there's still a connection there:)

🥁

10:01am Brian in UK:

@Holly just to go back a couple of weeks when I could not comment. Totally agree with your Lucinda and Gurf remarks.

🥁

10:01am listener james from westwood:

If I hadn't had to take work along on my March trip, I'd have been fine on the road getting GTDR with just the iOS app. Anywhere I had a hotspot, I had a tune.

🥁

10:02am Brian in UK:

Is there anything left of Aleppo?

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

Brutal question, Brian in UK. Surely a brutal answer.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Glad to conjure up old family memories!

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

Oh Doug, Sound Unity on the way to me as we speak/type/play/listen/cough/wheeze, drink/scratch or mumble.

10:06am Lewis:

checking in from April Showers Mpls (the precip is frozen…)

🥁

10:07am Brian in UK:

When I saw the drum in the round it reminded me of the Iranian water drum.

10:08am Holly in NC:

Ok, fellow food enthusiasts - What should I make for lunchfeast? Ingredients on hand: eggs, mushrooms, kale, dandelion greens, garlic, ginger, fresh turmeric, plain full fat yogurt, sour cream, sardines, canned salmon, pulled pork, smoked chicken, hot peppers (jalpos & thai), cheese (blue, parm, aged gouda, cheddar), broccoli, nuts (walnuts, almonds, pine, hazel, brazil, cashews) , tomato sauce, limes, an aging meyer lemon.

I could just fry eggs in butter, finish w red wine vinegar & throw over some greens, & that is what I'll do if y'all don't come up with something enticing. Spice rack is full.

10:11am glenn:

mushroom, kale, cheddar and almond frittata. that's what i see, anyway.

10:11am Holly in NC:

@Brian in UK - re Lucinda again, yes :-(

10:12am Gary:

10:10 = symmetry + smile (if it was 4:40 it would be a frown)

🥁

10:13am listener james from westwood:

I barely ever think about Dartmouth. This would be endorsement of this policy. What jerks.

10:13am Holly in NC:

Cabbage also. And red onion. On hand.

10:13am ndbob:

@Holly cheddar omelet - I go for simplicity

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Turn that frownclock upside down, Gary!

🥁

10:14am Brian in UK:

Give the drummer some, after the show ofcourse, as mentioned by Doug.
www.npr.org...

🥁

10:14am listener james from westwood:

@Holly, the omelet possibilities are broad. Pulled pork & gouda w/ mushrooms & some wilted kale?

10:15am Jeff Golick:

Hi.

Here's a gif, for Dartmouth: i.imgur.com...

🥁

10:15am βrian:

If you have good bread, salmon salad sandwiches. Salmon, mayo, shredded carrots, grated ginger, lime juice, cumin, cayenne, and cilantro if you have it.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

For deeper reading on the Bill Cole/Darmouth Review insanity: www.nytimes.com...

10:18am Holly in NC:

Forgot to mention I don't eat bread or pasta! But I eat absolutely anything one might put in a sandwich or on top of pasta either by itself or top of greens or cabbage.

Out of cilantro :-(

🥁

10:19am Brian in UK:

@Holly Mixed vegetable curry with sour cream & lime & nuts.

🥁

10:21am βrian:

A bit of ground coriander, then. Make lettuce wraps. Or kale wraps if the kale is steamed and cooled.

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

I will eat past ON bread, but I won't eat cilantro (unless you want me to make like that kid in Kearny, Nebraska).

10:22am Jeff Golick:

Having gone to a liberal arts college in the late 1980s, in New England, I could only read so far into that Times piece, Doug, before the flashbacks. Had to put it down.

🥁

10:22am βrian:

I loathed cilantro from the very moment I first tasted it. But one day I had an epiphany. Can't get enough of it, these days.

10:23am Jeff Golick:

TEAM CILANTRO: fuckyeahcilantro.tumblr.com

10:24am Jeff Golick:

...and equal time for the haterz: fucknocilantro.tumblr.com

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

I am from a tribe who turn violently angry if not actually physically ill when confronted with even the whiff of cilantro. I am no drama queen about it, but my mother. Oh god, my mother. She has turned several Indian restaurants into scenes from Carrie.

10:28am glenn:

i call it coriander. that way i don't have to worry.

10:28am Andrew Waterloo:

OH, Internet, how could I learn so much about cilantro without you.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

Completely by accident: Next up is a musician from NEBRASKA.

Whadyaknow, Andrew Waterloo!

10:30am glenn:

jeeez. team cilantro has some bodacious potty mouth.

10:30am Andrew Waterloo:

Yah, I'm still hanging around

10:31am Holly in NC:

I think I will combine ideas! Gouda & mushroom omelette with a side of wilted kale tossed with almonds (or maybe hazelnuts) for now.... and I'll make a gingery garlicky limey spicey salmon salad for dinner - which I'll eat with the avocado I forgot I have! Thanks, guys!

@Doug - I'll eat all your cilantro, and then some. Did you kow that your aversion is likely due to genetics rather than (or in addition to) taste preferences? When people such as youself say that cilantro tastes like soap it does - to you - but what I taste is something completely different. I find that fascinating.

On the other hand chitlins taste like shit to everyone, but some people apparently like the taste of shit :-)

🥁

10:31am listener james from westwood:

Went to lunch w/ someone to one of those Mongolian stir-fry places, and she added some greenery to her dish. She complained it tasted like soap. At the time I didn't understand the cilantro thing, but years later, once I read about it, I made the connection.

10:32am ?:

Has Tony COULTER left the stream for NRP? - I am sure I heard DDD666111 say something like that on Tuesday's show?

🥁

10:32am βrian:

It was at a restaurant in Winooski, Vermont, of all places. A eureka moment, to be sure.

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

If our next artist were named Void Center, it would sound a whole lot different, but it's Boyd Senter.

Yes, LJFW, cilantro = soap taste

@Holly
My dear wife, who loves cilantro and bitterly resents not being able to cook with it, does not believe in a genetic predisposition to hating cilantro. She just thinks I'm weak.

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hi ?
Um, er, I believe that was DDDJJJ666's (aka Thom Jones) April Fool's prank.

🥁

10:37am βrian:

To me, the flavor was like licking a nine-volt battery but amplified manyfold. Like my tongue was in a vise. When I flipped perspectives, the pleasure was just as intense. Sunshine and rainbows.

10:37am Van in DC:

"gingery garlicky limey spicey salmon salad for dinner - which I'll eat with the avocado "

MAN that sounds good!

10:37am glenn:

hmmmm. i wonder if the soapy taste gene coexists with the stinky asparagus pee gene. i don't seem to have either.

10:38am Uncle Michael:

I have one but not the other.

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

You're my kind of people, βrian. You too, glenn, even though you lack the stinky asparagus pee gene, which I have in spades.

10:39am Holly in NC:

@Jeff - I am now following fuckyeahcilantro, thank you very much ;-)

Sp gad I did not choose to go to Dartmouth (yes, I applied, the gorgeous woodsy campus & er, vast quantities of beer EVERYWHERE were appealing to 16 yr old me). Luckily I choose wisely, and went to a school I adore & recommend w/out hesitation (Smith - sorry guys!)

🥁

10:41am βrian:

So, in short, cilantro-loathers: It gets better.

10:41am still b/p:

Even after an Irish-diet, narrow-menu upbringing, and with a still often cautious and inhibited palate, I do like cilantro. Go figure.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

still crazy b/p, after all the years! (with no apologies ever to that little prick Paul Simon)

10:47am Jeff Golick:

That Sam Rivers trait drives me nuts. Impossible to keep 'em straight.

10:47am Gary:

Sam reason poets like single-word titles: Because they tend to resonate more than having more words. The more words you have, the fewer possible meanings, if that makes sense?

10:47am Van in DC:

Knowing how you love the really long titles, I know the single word titles must drive you bonkers :)

10:47am Jeff Golick:

</end poem>

10:47am Holly in NC:

I'm not sure if I have stinky asparagus pee.
As soon as local asparagus hits the market I will surely find out!

Guys, if you are worried about bitter semen eat a lot of celery.

10:47am Gary:

*Same reason

🥁

10:47am βrian:

I don't go for the single-name artists, myself. I mean, Bonobo? Nah.

🥁

10:48am listener james from westwood:

There's a Tex-Mex jernt a half hour from me that adds just the right amount of cilantro to its salsa. They also fry up corn tortilla chips fresh for each table. Incredible. The actual food's great, too.

🥁

10:49am βrian:

I take that back. I have an enormous crush on Camille.

10:51am Gary:

Babul! This is a great film. And Shamshad is a superhero. Was as superhero--she just died last year :(

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Van!
That is so funny. I never put those two things together, my love of loooong song titles and my consternation with short ones. Thank you for revealing to me something about myself.

10:52am Ike:

@James -- where's that? Near Westwood?

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Before or after, Holly? Or DURING?

10:52am Holly in NC:

@ βrian: I guess you're not a Rush fan, then.

What are other single-name artists? Aside from Madonna, Cher & Yes (who each have more than defensible moments), all I can think of is Dokken, Ratt, Heino & Asia - which lends credence to your theory

🥁

10:52am βrian:

Love is short, forgetting long.

10:53am Holly in NC:

@Doug - Ha! I just spit out....TEA ! :-)

🥁

10:53am listener james from westwood:

@Ike: It's José Tejas in Fairfield. Those in Cambridge, MA know it as the Border Café.

🥁

10:54am listener james from westwood:

Holly: Falco.

🥁

10:54am βrian:

Doesn't bother me re groups. Just individuals. Prince who?, for example.

10:54am ndbob:

As everyone may have gathered, I'm not much of a veggie eater, but I do love asparagus

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Good greetings, Ike!

🥁

10:55am listener james from westwood:

Kishore Kumar! Between this and the cilantro discussion, I may need to hit the road for Indian this weekend!

10:55am Ike:

Same to you, Doug!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Wow, Shamshad Begum died a year ago this month. I must've known, but forgot.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Begum sang on over 6,000 filmi tracks in six different languages.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Next up is a kind of Bollywood salad bar. A little bit of everything.

10:58am Holly in NC:

Oh duh, Prince! But I do like a lot of Prince's work, especially when he called himself Prince.
@ljfw - Falco. Good one.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hooray for: globaldamu.org...

10:59am still b/p:

The GTDS infield gets it done: cilantro to celery to salacious.

11:00am Jeff Golick:

Salacious never drops a ball.

11:00am Gary:

I can't click the mouse hard enough starring these tracks

🥁

11:00am βrian:

Oh, yes. Syllabically challenged, but fun, fun music.

11:02am Holly in NC:

@still b/p - We need to move on to salicornia!

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Careful with those hard mouse clicks, Gary. PETA will come after you.

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Vision Festival #19: www.facebook.com...

11:06am Uncle Michael:

I use a mallet.

11:06am earrie:

G'morning. I'd argue that celery is better known as one of the vegs most prone to picking up toxins.

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

ello earrie!

11:07am Gary:

Superheart Burman's voice. One of my fave Bollywood albums is a otherwise unreleased collection of him singing his own songs (which others would go on to sing for the films/soundtracks themselves)

🥁

11:08am listener james from westwood:

Wow, this "Hum" chunk has an all-star cast.

11:08am Van in DC:

This Bollywood salad bar has been pretty good, with just the right amount of cilantro.

🥁

11:09am Brian in UK:

ABBA?

🥁

11:09am listener james from westwood:

@earrie: Due to its high water uptake/content? I know there's a group of veggies they advise one only buy organics for, given the choice.

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

You snuck that cilantro in there, Van. I can't blame you.

🥁

11:12am Brian in UK:

I am with glenn and OUR colonies CORIANDER.

I love Tintin.

11:14am earrie:

@ljfw Yep. It's up there with apples on the residue list.

🥁

11:14am βrian:

It would be coriander leaves, then, to distinguish from the spice. I know what you mean, though. I much prefer the flavor of chick peas as opposed to garbanzo beans.

🥁

11:15am βrian:

Strawberries are bad news, generally. Sad, that.

11:16am still b/p:

I never et no salicornia, but surely would, especially if harvested by my own hand when biking by a summer marsh....if it's waiting here on the New England coast, and if yanking some from otherwise sensitive protected shore areas doesn't earn me jail food instead.

11:16am Holly in NC:

@earrie - That is also VERY true, celery is one of the veg that's really important to eat organic. The ewg "dirty dozen" & "clean 15" pdfs & apps are super helpful, imho. Lord knows I can't afford to buy everything organic, so it's great to be able to prioritize purchases.
www.ewg.org...

🥁

11:16am βrian:

Coriander leaves Doug in pain.

🥁

11:16am Brian in UK:

Coriander leaves have a wonderful dry aroma.

Got to meet a chum and drink warm English beer. Good weekend everyone.

🥁

11:17am Brian in UK:

Organic = the way things were before pesticides.

🥁

11:17am βrian:

Our beer is warm, too — on the way out ...

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

I fixed your typo, Holly. Because I'm that kinda guy.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

I LOVE the bass on this Vijana track.

🥁

11:19am Brian in UK:

@βrian the growth of microbreweries in the US is an exceptional story.

11:20am Holly in NC:

@Doug - Thank you!

11:20am ndbob:

speaking of hard mouse clicks - it's World Rat Day!

www.worldratday.com...

🥁

11:21am βrian:

Yes, and now I hear there is great food in the UK. What world is this?

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

What is a "world rat," ndbob? A very cultured rat? Speaks multiple languages? Has a passport filled with exotic visa stamps?

11:22am Andrew Waterloo:

mmm.. 11:30am.. do I actually start working or do I go for lunch...

11:23am ndbob:

@Doug in addition, it's a regular GTDS stream listener

11:23am Uncle Michael:

call it a working lunch

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

NO LUNCH! No one eats until I get to! (Unless you have a compelling medical reason.)

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Oops, my legal team sent a note informing that I am not allowed to say that.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
!

11:25am Gary:

A whirled rat is something I once saw at 3:00 am in my toilet. Having gotten up to pee (without turning on the light, as there was just enough ambient light to do the business), I noticed a weird "chirping" noise. Flipping on the light, I saw this rat struggling to get up the side of the bowl. I was peeing on its head. I shrieked and flushed, almost simultaneously. The rat literally whirled around, backspinning back where he (she?) came from.

11:25am Jeff Golick:

The cultured rats have moved on from Dunkin Donuts (gothamist.com...) to the home of the artisanal cronut (gothamist.com...).

11:26am Holly in NC:

Clink link to see largest rat ever! (don't click if a) you love rats & don't want to see a dead one or b) you're rat phobic, as you will have nightmares)

🥁

11:26am listener james from westwood:

Gary, you're a whiz of an exterminator.

11:27am Uncle Michael:

I would never eat a cultured rat. I only eat naturally occurring rats. I don't care how fancy his donuts are.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
And I bet the rat was chirping, "Gosh darn it, asparagus again!"

11:27am Jeff Golick:

@Gary, had that been my wife who saw such a scene, I think she'd still be screaming.

11:28am Holly in NC:

@Gary - Damn. I am not scared of rats but that would send me over the edge of insanity. And I would never use indoor plumbing again. Ever.

11:28am ndbob:

@Holly wow - I saw that story a few days ago

11:28am Jeff Golick:

@Holly, is that the rat-on-a-pitchfork photo?

🥁

11:28am listener james from westwood:

LOL@ Doug. Primo callback!

11:28am Uncle Michael:

Good thing you weren't dropping kids off at the pool, Gary.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Jaysus, maybe we should just go back to the cilantro thread.

11:29am glenn:

nollywood taking over. www.thestar.com...

11:29am earrie:

@Gary - Yikes, yeah. And subsequent nights? What then?

11:29am Holly in NC:

@Jeff - No, rat-in-a-trap-in-someone's-kitxhen

11:30am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug tambourine statue admirers.

11:30am Jeff Golick:

kthx, Holly. I'm good not looking.

11:31am Holly in NC:

Spellcheck is beneath me (haughty sniff)

11:31am Gary:

I admit that every time I had to, um, "sit"? It was traumatic. I would be raised an inch from the seat. For months. And months.

11:31am Jeff Golick:

The Soul Chiefs. Better than their original name, The Sous Chefs.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Waky-waky, Carmichael!

11:32am still b/p:

Each of us has a day sometimes that makes us that rat, though, eh?
Cue "Is that what's bothering you, Bunky?" music:
"Ya say you wuz just tryin' to climb outa the toilet, and....."

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

This next track comes courtesy of Gary, who reminded me of this lovely album... Thanks Gary!

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Speaking of "Is that what's bothering you, Bunky?" Eddie Lawrence just died.

11:34am Gary:

Aha! I thought I was recognizing that voice

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time is up next here on the Drummer Stream. His playlist page is here: wfmu.org...

11:35am still b/p:

Maybe Unca Michael play us some today.

11:35am Uncle Michael:

Thank you Doug.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Finally, I beat you to it, UM.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

The saxophone on this Libyan reggae is so cheesilicious.

🥁

11:37am listener james from westwood:

I thought Eddie Lawrence would never give up, never give up, never give up (boom boom) the ghost!

11:37am Gary:

FYI, this is an awesome awesome book about rats, by someone who coincidentally shares my last name: books.google.com...

11:37am still b/p:

...but not in the first 30 minutes. I gotta go walkin' on a focaccia mission

11:38am Holly in NC:

Back in a few - need to show some love to dog who quite correctly thinks it's time for him to be the focus of my attention. This sweet, wonderful dog has permanent scars on his neck from where a metal collar had grown into his skin. SOMETIMES I REALLY DESPAIR FOR HUMANITY.

11:39am Holly in NC:

@Gary - cosign on that Rat book - it's super!

11:39am ndbob:

@Gary Thanks for the link!

11:40am Mr C:

Got to get that 5 Royales Box Soul and Swagger just released Doug. Master jam! If you haven't already. Give the drummer some more...

11:41am ndbob:

@Mr c - what years of the Five Royales does it cover?

11:42am coelacanth:

Hi Doug & everyone. Show's been good; But i just looked at the comment board. It's also entertaining! Rats are good creatures with a raw deal...That's my opinion!
...still b/p i appreciate your subtle tribute,too!

11:42am Mr C:

Complete..1951-67..total soul!

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Get out your abacuses, friends. The next song title is a math problem.

Good morning, Mr. C!

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, coelacanth!

11:45am Jeff Golick:

@Gary: haven't read that one, but I can vouch for Robert Sullivan's Meadowlands book, and his whale hunt book, too. Both great.

11:46am Holly in NC:

@Mr C - Oh gosh, 5 Royales so great! I *think* I have every legit Apollo & King release of theirs, but I am going to scurry & check the box post haste to make sure. Thank you!

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Yummy! media.spincds.com...

11:47am Van in DC:

Is that you singing in the background Doug? :)

11:47am Holly in NC:

I got into James Carr & Don Covay at the same time, unfortunate consequence being I didn't listen to Don Covay as much as he deserves. Ongoing rectification in process.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

I am a stone-cold sucker for Lowman Pauling.

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Van
Not me, though I wish Amanda were here to sing along.

11:48am ndbob:

@Holly -there made some great records following their years on King on labels like Home of the Blues @Mr C Thanks!

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Wasn't it DJ Monica who put together a killer comp of songs with long recitations in them. By female singers exclusively, if I remember correctly.

11:51am Mr C:

The lead singer of 8th Day, Melvin Davis, was also a great drummer. Played with Dennis Coffey...

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Listening to this song is like standing next to someone on a cellphone.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Damn...I was thinking of doing something much like that. Has EVERYTHING been done?

11:52am Uncle Michael:

Monica's not just another DJ.

11:54am Van in DC:

I'm so hungry I could eat rat stew with cilantro in it.

Or not.

MMMM hamburger....

11:55am Uncle Michael:

After this guy hangs up...he calls someone else.

11:56am Carmichael:

Big Bopper cornered the market on calling people up.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Ladies and gents, meet 8th Day: www.soulwalking.co.uk...

11:57am still b/p:

My new go-to script for telemarketers.

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:57am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room! Thanks, Doug!

12:00pm coelacanth:

Thank you Doug.

12:01pm earrie:

Thanks, Doug. Fine vet/dog wishes to you.

12:02pm still b/p:

Thank you for the show. The Nawa alone was worth big gratitude.

12:24pm Van in DC:
