Good Morning Drummers. The new additions really add some class to the Spice Girls.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

She'll be cumin 'round the mountain, eh, Listener James from Westwood?

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

🥁

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Spring, Happy Van!

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

🥁

9:00am listener james from westwood:

Howdy, all, and happy Friday!

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Come on in, ndbob!

9:02am El Thatchmo:

Old Spice in the house!
Tell it like it is, DJ Agape, and set me straight.
Play Freebird.

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

You're just a real taragon daddy-o, El Thatchmo.

9:06am thedunkel:

Good Morning DJ Old Spice and Spicettes

9:06am Van in DC:

Uh oh. Sounds like one toe is having, um, distress...?

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, thedunkel!

Yes, one toe seems to breaking ranks with his siblings. Not a happy situation.

9:08am thedunkel:

Heal that toe with bourbon!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

The poor toe experienced a little sour mashing.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

That was the most unpyrotechnic Kanui & Lula song I've ever heard. Almost dignified even.

9:14am ndbob:

sorry Doug!

9:15am Webhamster Henry:

Hmm somehow we got from Hawaii to Turkey.

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Hope you got all your shots and visas in order, Webhamster Henry!

🥁

9:17am Brian in UK:

Shocking scenes in Parliament this week. The Irish Premier visits the Queen & Parliament for the first time. Then filming for Suffragette film within Westminster. Next thing they will have the vote. Pass me a brandy.
news.sky.com...

9:17am Webhamster Henry:

No lunches, but plenty of frequent flier miles.

9:17am Van in DC:

And by "breaking ranks" I hope that isn't literally...

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

I'm afraid so, Van.

No lunch, but plenty of peanuts and ginger ale, Webham H. Give The Drummer Some Air, the airline with a heart.

9:37am Uncle Michael:

GOOD MORNING

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Unk!

9:38am Uncle Michael:

IYSS!

9:38am ndbob:

morning UM!

9:39am Uncle Michael:

Which one is PhD Spice?

🥁

9:40am listener james from westwood:

Ivor!
UM! If your ears were burning yesterday, I mentioned you in connection to a track Joe McG played w/ Topeka in the title.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

My fave was Freedom Fighter Spice.

🥁

9:41am listener james from westwood:

I want to meet Mélange Spice. She's said to have nice blue eyes.

9:41am Uncle Michael:

Blancmange Spice.

9:42am Van in DC:

That was awesome. I actually have a big rock on my desk labelled "MS Admin". When I feel the urge to ask a Win Admin for something, I just ask my rock, and that eliminates all my frustration at their ineptitude when my rock just stares back at me, silently.

9:43am Uncle Michael:

James, I've been sitting on that same track. Damn.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Whatever you do, Van, resist the urge to pick up said rock and do with it unneighborly things to a Win Admin.

🥁

9:46am listener james from westwood:

Hey, it was a great track; would dig another listen, and it's always new to someone!

9:48am Gary:

Sorry I'm not on thyme

9:49am Uncle Michael:

Yeah but I'll let it ripen even longer now.

9:51am Gary:

This is anise song.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Just as long as you brought Rosemary with you. Rrrrroww!

9:51am Jeff Golick:

Ernie Graham goes into the insta-classic bin. Also, the I didn't know about this for HOW long? bin.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

I learned about Ernie Graham from YOU, Jeff Golick!

9:53am ndbob:

The Ernie Graham song I know best is his cover of "Romeo and the Lonely Girl" on Stiff

9:53am Gary:

Yay Ed Sanders!

9:54am Gary:

@Doug, Rosemary's boyfriend, Jimbu, wouldn't like that

9:55am Hugo:

I thought for a second it was the Holy Modal Rounders, but this ain't bad, too. The Fugs are still on-going, but without Tuli, alas.

9:55am Webhamster Henry:

Ed Sanders + autoharp: great combo.

🥁

10:01am βrian:

Greetings from the isthmus. Thank Bob it's vendredi.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
We'll just have to carraway Jimbu before he gets violent.

@Webhamster Henry
Autoharp + anyone = great combo

Greetings βrian!

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Here is a tune courtesy of Gary Sullivan's Bodega Pop: bodegapop.blogspot.com...

10:06am Gary:

I love these ladies

10:07am Uncle Michael:

Kinda hard to tell where the Fugs end and the Rounders begin, sometimes.

10:07am Gary:

(Orange you glad I didn't say "lovage"?)

10:08am Webhamster Henry:

One of my next iPad apps is a microtonal autoharp simulator called PolyHarp.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

Love it, WH! Want it, WH!

10:10am ndbob:

This is great Doug!

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

Dog barkin' in background = always a great record

10:12am still b/p:

You have a home number for Tax Preparer Spice?

10:12am Cecile:

Doug! I mean Goud!

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Bon jour, Cecile!

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

@stll b/p
You better call You Better Get An Extension Spice.

10:17am Gary:

Did we really make it through the first hour without anyone tossing in a "sage words" gag?

🥁

10:18am βrian:

Thanks for that Mona. Never heard of him. Brief article en français: fr.wikipedia.org...

10:18am Jeff Golick:

We're much too posh for that, Gary.

10:21am Cecile:

Wow, never heard of Ernie Graham before, worked with Hendrix, yikes!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Here's that Ernie Graham record (pronounced reh-Kord): exystence.net...

10:24am still b/p:

This Smirnoff ad is kinda funny, even if a little too pleased with itself. Anyway, ya got your metalled cardamon and freshly slapped sage in it.
www.marketmenot.com...

10:25am still b/p:

...cardaMOM. Sorry, mom.

10:27am Jeff Golick:

(thanks, ghostly copyeditor)

10:28am still b/p's mom:

No worries, mon.

10:29am Gary:

Yay new show!

🥁

10:29am listener james from westwood:

Oooh! New stream program!!

10:30am Webhamster Henry:

Chitin (C8H13O5N)n (/ˈkaɪtɨn/ ky-tin)

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

Doug, off to see Tom Brosseau tomorrow with his band, well stand up bass and percussion.

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

(@Jeff Golick)
Don't mention it!

10:34am earrie:

Chitin? Chiton?

10:36am earrie:

Chitons are a type of mollusc. They look like that most common class of fossils, the trilobites.

🥁

10:36am Brian in UK:

Deram, great label home of the Deramic Sound System!! I think a Whiter Shade of Beige too.

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Tommy is a sweatheart. If you chat, give him my warmest.

Good morning earrie! On the show today, we are all chitin on our aural diets.

🥁

10:37am βrian:

It's like water off a chitinous exoskeleton. No worries.

🥁

10:37am Brian in UK:

Will do, Doug, if I can get past all the screaming fans.

10:38am MrC:

Doug..Do you know this book "Sun Ra..Pathways to Unknown Worlds...El Saturn and Chicago's Afro-Futurist Underground 1954-68" Mostly Sun Ra art from the time. (Sunny was outside of time, in every good way).

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

My chitin heart (sorry, had to use that joke again): ecx.images-amazon.com...

10:40am earrie:

I'm guessing on some kind of hardened etymological link on the chiton chitin.
(And where the entomologists have the trilobites, I'd take a short trip back 520-250 million years ago to prove a closer phylogenic relation to Mollusca.)

🥁

10:42am βrian:

Today's theme: Doug's Chimera.

10:42am selim sivad:

I want royalties on this cut.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Chimera verité, I calls it.

🥁

10:43am βrian:

Does a chimera have a chitinous exoskeleton in need of a chiropractor?

10:43am ndbob:

excellent show Doug! Need to go for a a bit - back for the end or for UM

10:44am PKNY:

This is the chit!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr. C
I do not have that book. Yet. I read and enjoyed Szwed's "Space Is the Place."

10:48am northguineahills:

digging.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

@selim sivad
Can you just be paid in eniacoc?

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy northguineahills! Would you like some leftover Jamaican white fish curry? Oh, you already have some? Never mind.

10:51am Gary:

BTW, that Exystence blog you pointed to, earlier, Doug, is insane! I know how I'll be spending several hours of this weekend ...

🥁

10:51am βrian:

"kīˈmərə," she said, reinforcing the correction with a lash of the cat-o-nine. How was I to know?

10:51am Jeff Golick:

Tried to go last night to a symposium/discussion on Sun Ra at 100 last night; Szwed was on the dais, as well as Greg Tate &c. I showed up a little late (as is my fashion), and the event was filled to capacity! I was turned away -- happy for the amount of interest in Ra, sad for my loss. Though it's streamable, apparently: videostreaming.gc.cuny.edu...

10:52am Jeff Golick:

@Gary: see you in a few weeks...

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Exystence was down for a while last night and I was breaking out in hives. Was thrilled to see just now that it's back up (though I'm not sure how it remains up, frankly).

Donald Byrd is on trumpet, Nathan Davis on tenor sax joining Dolphy's bass clarinet here.

10:58am Andrew Waterloo:

Morning! Must check in to say I'm really enjoying this set.

10:59am Jeff Golick:

Yeah, Doug, exystence's ongoing exystence is strange.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Damn. I didn't get the HHR gig.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Aw, it's AW!

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
It's because of the -y- !

11:04am joe:

'ello folks
The one in the DKNY shirt looks like an old metal head high school friend of mine

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

Obviously the DB is Derek Bailey, but can anyone guess who the HB and the AB are?

11:04am joe:

Did I mention his name was Fred

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Whatyaknow, joe?!

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Metal Head Spice?

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

@Doug are they pencils?

🥁

11:09am βrian:

Eh, that's "kai"-tinous.

🥁

11:10am Brian in UK:

Paul Buckmaster was a producer/arranger.

11:10am Van in DC:

@joe - DKNY looks a *little* like Lita from WWE to me. But not pretty or big enough, nor not near enough tattoos. But still.

11:15am Andrew Waterloo:

HB = Han Bennink?

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

You are correct, AW! And AB = Anthony Braxton.

11:19am Uncle Michael:

WHERE AM I?

11:20am Jeff Golick:

I was gonna guess Harry Beckett.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Two things:

(1) The soul-pop set ending today's show is going to be spectacular. Just giving you fair warning.

(2) Immediately following this program will be Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael, emanating from the flat but charming Topeka, Kansas. The playlist for HDT is here: wfmu.org...

11:21am Uncle Michael:

THAT'S WHERE I AM! THANKS!

🥁

11:23am βrian:

I'm starting to hanker after a nice big cilantro salad. And cardamom ice cream for dessert.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Always glad to help, Uncle Michael.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

OK, now you're just taunting me with that cilantro comment, βrian.

11:24am Stanley:

Hi Doug and esteemed listeners
Great track you've just played. Reminds me of the time I spent in Dafur, village style. At nights we used sit around passing round the drum and singing. It was called 'wanassa and n'gara' - little stories and drum.

11:25am Uncle Michael:

I need a lot of help today.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

You must have some stories to tell, Stanley.

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

@βrian Ever tried cardamon tea, good for digestion. Would recommend Christmas Pudding ice cream, well you have to something with that stodge.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

I read somewhere online that this Fred Fisher Atalobhor disc was mastered horribly giving it this loopy, warped sound. I pray to GOD that this is not true and that the music is supposed to sound this way. Because this is the way I need it to sound. On purpose.

11:30am Stanley:

Doug - ah yes, when I was a younger man........

11:31am Gary:

Wow, this is mesmerizing. But sort of sea-sick inducing

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

@Stanley trust this was before the troubles over there.

11:31am Webhamster Henry:

yeah, sounds like the hole is a little off center, but it adds to the magic.

🥁

11:32am βrian:

Love cardamom tea and all things cardamom. From time to time I make a variation of kheer that involves lots of decorticated cardamom seeds. Makes people swoon.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe the whole world is off center, and Mr. Atalobhor is just right. Ever think of THAT?!

🥁

11:34am Brian in UK:

Normally only come across decortication with cardiac surgery.

11:34am Stanley:

βrian - kheer, now there's wonderful thing.

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

The first performer coming up in the next and final set is about the same age as my daughter.

11:35am Alex In Illinois:

@βrian: I seem to be the only one that thinks apples go great with cardamom. IN the Autumn and early winter, I always want to put it in all the pies, but everyone else is like: "You can put that on your own slice".

11:36am Cecile:

It sounds poorly mastered but the mastering is like another freaky instrument. Like it's chopped and screwed.

11:36am Van in DC:

Kind of Europa-ish, nice

11:36am Sigurdur:

Hey Doug

11:36am Paul Sherratt:

Brian UK, Doug, both of you were discussed in Tom Brosseau's post match warm-down chat in Coventry last night. Everyone was a winner ! He was in very fine form even though it was the band's first time out. Tomorrow will be the second !

11:37am Cecile:

Doug, did you hear the Bernie Worrell's version of Samba? It's great.

🥁

11:38am βrian:

Apples love cardamom. Have you used Ceylon Cinnamon, by the way? Different from what's sold in the U.S. as cinnamon, which is actually cassia.

11:38am Cecile:

Alex, you are not! I often put a pinch in pie.

11:38am Webhamster Henry:

Speaking of Vampisol: en.wikipedia.org...
This animated cartoon has some really hot trumpet playing!

11:38am coelacanth:

Hi Doug and everyone.
...i was hoping the tape wasn't getting eaten.
Alex I.I. You can put cardamon on my slice too,of whatever kind of slice you're talking about!

🥁

11:39am Brian in UK:

Hello Paul, you kidding.

@βrian we bought loads of cinnamon when we went to Sri Lanka. Try to get there lovely people despite the troubles.

11:40am pacific standard simon:

...awake...

11:41am coelacanth:

...I Love apples;Don't like apple pie usually...Cardamon would help me like it more.

🥁

11:42am βrian:

Things have calmed down in SL, haven't they?

11:43am Uncle Michael:

That Darrow Fletcher song was amazing.

11:44am Alex In Illinois:

@βrian: I did not know that there was another cinnamon! I just looked it up and it turns out that there are a number of trees whose inner bark is shaved to make cinnamon.

🥁

11:44am Brian in UK:

@Paul I meant to mention that Pete Molinari is doing a short tour.
www.ents24.com...

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

I believe the young man referenced "zip guns" in the lyrics.

11:44am Stanley:

Brian - I shared a compartment on the train to Delhi with a family of Sri Lankans. Invited me to eat with them, mother made up the bunk and fussed over me. Nice people.

🥁

11:45am βrian:

The key with apple pie is to let the apples drain after being dressed with sugar/spices. Then reduce/thicken the liquid and add it back to the apples.

🥁

11:45am Brian in UK:

PS the new Paolo Nutini sounds good too. No really.

11:45am Uncle Michael:

Mexican Cinnamon is different that what the supermarkets sell, too.

🥁

11:47am βrian:

I find the "true" cinnamon kind of cedar-like. More heady. I like using cassia in some savory dishes.

🥁

11:47am Brian in UK:

Bhel Poori & Dosas. Yum.

11:47am still b/p:

All about the cinnamon. On my focaccia and in my yogurt and fruit smoothies....mmmm.

11:47am Stanley:

Still no sign of Sri Lankan restaurant in Edinburgh, though. Still haven't tried hoppers.

11:48am Paul Sherratt:

Brian UK,
No kidding, it was in a Cafe Oto/ Holley context

11:48am PKNY:

Eddie Carlton sure sounds a *lot* like Rudy Ray Moore.

11:51am coelacanth:

Good show Doug. I must keep working and hearing your show in divided doses,so i Thank you now.
ciao.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Paul Sherratt, coelacanth, Alex in Ill!

🥁

11:52am Brian in UK:

Ever tried rambutans? Vivid red and like a lychee inside. Seeing a whole barrow of those in the market is a sight to behold.

@Paul funny but we will be about one mile from Cafe Oto tomorrow.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Hmmm, PKNY. Rudy Ray had "brothers," but maybe he had a brother.

🥁

11:53am Brian in UK:

Peerless show, Mr S. Get well pinky.

11:53am Van in DC:

So the Haupt Garden by the Smithsonian Castle has something at noon today called "taiko drummers" and a picnic under the glorious blooming magnolias. Time to take a stroll across the street...thanks Doug!

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

And howdy up there, pacific standard simon! I almost missed ya!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

And greetings to you, Sigurdur! The comments are scrolling by fast.

I'd bet I'd love it, Cecile.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Next-to-pinky is the problem, Brian in UK.

11:56am still b/p:

Obie get a seed of freedom caught in his windpipe at the start or was that just my player?

11:57am Jeff Golick:

ARG gotta run -- catch some of youse on the Hinky page later on?

Doug: my day is well-seasoned cuz of you! Thanks, sir!

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Well...*me*.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the fine show, Doug.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Cheryl Dorsey is gonna whip your microscopic ass for leaving early.

11:58am Gary:

Mastic-tastic show, Doug!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Hinky Dinky (not Pinky) Time is up next. Go here: wfmu.org...

11:59am Gary:

Thanks for the savory sounds!

11:59am Stanley:

Great show, right down to the last drop.
Thanks Doug
Bye everyone.

🥁

12:00pm listener james from westwood:

The last 3 hours have been a mix of copyediting and quiet awe at the program today. Many thanks, Doug!

12:01pm Jesse K:

thanks for the most excellent morning music Doug!

12:01pm Alex In Illinois:

YEs. Excellent show doug

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Awe, that's nice of your to (shhh) say, LJFW. Thanks and thanks everyhuman!

Hey hey, Jesse K!

1:43pm Van in DC:

The taiko drummers were *fantastic* Japanese men / women drummer / dancers. Amazing stuff. Looks like they've been around awhile. Here they were at Kennedy Center a few years ago... www.kennedy-center.org...
