Listener comments!

8:19am Uncle Michael:

Shotgun!

8:25am Doug Schulkind:

Is this radio show a buddy film or a road-trip film? Or both?!

8:31am Uncle Michael:

Don't ask me. I'm a sidekick.

8:34am Doug Schulkind:

Ah, you forgot to pay your SAG dues again?!

8:38am ausmanx:

i hope the ending will be more Vanishing Point than Thelma and Louise. good evening, chaps. getting a little frosty down in these parts...

8:40am Doug Schulkind:

Buckle your seat belt, ausmanx, and you'll find out.

8:45am Uncle Michael:

I'm gonna make the season's first batch of gazpacho during your show, Doug.

8:47am Doug Schulkind:

You must've been sad during the gaz crisis in '79.

🥁

8:52am duke:

Can't wait for the GTDS movie. Will there be merchandizing? Doug and UM Action figures?

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

My action figure will be modeled after me in my famous "listening pose": christianrlong.com...

8:58am davex:

Good day!

8:58am Uncle Michael:

That's the "Hmmm...this mono mix sounds like a fold-down to me" scene.

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome, davex!!

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

🥁

8:59am Brian in UK:

Hello Peter 'n Dennis. Fire up the hogs and hit the two lane blacktop. Oh no that was James 'n Dennis.

Hey davex, the avatar is daughter and I sitting on a kerb in Prague eating ice cream.

8:59am Uncle Michael:

I've been to the Rodin museum.

I haven't been to the Mothra museum.

Yet.

9:00am holland oats:

mornin' drumma! peoples! let's get on down...

🥁

9:01am Brian in UK:

There are currently eighty Rodins in Sofia on display including a later work Rodin's Disk Jockey.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, ndbob! Good afternoon, Brian in UK! Good all the time, holland oats!

9:02am jk:

Morning Doug!, morning all!

🥁

9:03am Brian in UK:

Here 'tis.
sofiaglobe.com...

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, jk!

I remember seeing The Thinker up close at a Rodin exhibit at the Joan Miró Museum in Barcelona. That was in 1981. I think...

9:09am Uncle Michael:

The Rodin museum I went to may have been a temporary affair i Amsterdam, actually.

9:11am AndrewC.:

Afternoon all,
Was that Mexico song the same as this? en.wikipedia.org...
It sounded familiar...

9:13am ndbob:

I remember going to the Rodin Museum

9:13am ausmanx:

i am looking forward to the back announce explaining what is leonine about willie and alphabetical about the four.

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, AndrewC! I found this info about "Round the Bay of Mexico" last night. Scroll up after clicking link: books.google.com...

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

The Santianna/Susianna connections seems more than a coincidence.

9:16am AndrewC.:

Thanks Doug - definitely sounds like some mid-carribean song swapping get together happened at one point...

9:18am still b/p:

Do you have Pothole Damaged My Bike Rim On Thoisdee Night Blues?

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Next song is extra ribald. Gather the kids around!

9:23am Mr C:

woke up this.morning...blues all around my bed

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry, still b/p. My copy has a big-ass scratch. I could play "Over the Handlebars in Love With You," however.

Stay in bed, Mr C. Nothing good comes from getting out of bed.

9:30am davex:

@Brian: Nice picture! Sorry about the slow reaction - lots going on here this time of day...

9:32am Van in DC:

I just walked right in. Think I'll make myself at home. Pass the coffee please. Hi Doug and folks

9:35am ndbob:

Ah I knew Ian from the store he used to be co-owner of

9:35am Bill D:

Guitar Crusher, the opposite of Guitar Slim. Nothing wrong with mustard , certainly a lot healthier and flavorful than mayo. Doug, you coming up for the record fair?

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

So glad you're here, Van!

@ndbob
Is Ian not with True Vine any more?

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

HOW-DEE, Bill D! Nope, I won't be coming to the record fair. I am just too plumb broke.

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Long song title alert!! Long song title alert!! Long song title alert!! Long song title alert!!

9:37am ndbob:

I don't think so Doug

9:38am ndbob:

Have you been there?

9:38am davex:

I will expand the window and use F11.

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

OK, not that long, but kinda long. Which as many of you know I LOVE.

9:39am ausmanx:

diabolus in musica, the bagpipe sound. i will turn off for three minutes...

9:39am davex:

Bagpipes are apparently the Marmite of music.

9:41am Alex In Illinois:

These sound a little more like a type of French bagpipes

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Ladies and gentlemen, please meet Paul Dunmall: 1.bp.blogspot.com...

9:42am davex:

That's an amazing sound he gets out of that sax.

9:43am still b/p:

I missed a scheduled set of bagpipe music at an event last weekend, and while I'm no enemy of the pipes, I was thinking that jus' one or two numbers is all I need....or want.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning Alex! On the record, Dunmall calls this "border pipes." Elsewhere on the album, he plays some songs on "Northumberland pipes."

9:43am Cecile:

Good morning all!

Doug, if you happen to have a soul song where a strong women tells men or women to get the hell out of her way, that would be great. I had a tough week threaded with lots of slights correlating to my gender.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

We think alike, davex :•)

9:44am Cecile:

this kicks ass, BTW.

9:45am ndbob:

Hey there Cecile

9:45am Cecile:

hiya ndbob!

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

C E C I L E is here! I am sorry to hear of such nastiness. It has been a bad week on that score for all of humanity. I do have a set of soul gems scheduled for later in the show. No strong women in the queue, but some soft men, if that helps.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Though I'm sure it doesn't. We love and support you, Cecile.

9:47am AndrewC.:

very much *not* rufus harley. can't say I'm not pleased...

9:48am Hugo:

Dunmall! Lots more D from where that's coming!

9:48am Van in DC:

That was like a breath of aural palindrome

9:48am Cecile:

That does work. I was talking to my husband about that. We are the flip sides of the same coin. I get crap for being direct, he gets crap for actually caring about people.

9:48am ausmanx:

goddamn the misogynists, cecile. and the bagpipers. if anyone in sydney is listening, Mark Sanders & John Coxon playing at my house next week. PLEASE come along... www.marksanders.me.uk...

9:49am Cecile:

not that either of those traits are limited by gender, but an AWFUL lot of people still think so.

Ausmanx, thanks. Although I do love bagpipes. And you are the MAN for hosting a live show. If I were there, I'd be there.

9:52am Hugo:

Sanders, yeah! I've seen him with SPEEQ which is in the series of photos on the website linked above. Even with Sidsel Endresen!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Helloooo, Hugooo! Assuming you are on this planet, what continent are you on this week?!?!

9:55am Cecile:

this is the awesomest version of Aquarius ever. All the nasty bits excised.

9:58am Hugo:

Doug: Back at home base - via Delhi and London Heathrow. I liked being up in Northeast India, Delhi was HOT!

10:01am ausmanx:

you're a traveller, Hugo, come along! you too Cecile. it's a free gig!

10:03am Cecile:

nice! I'll bring snacks - in my mind.

Doug, I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds like jail. I like visiting Pitt, but I don't know how it would be there to live there.

And I did a student station like that.

10:04am Randy:

Hi Doug! It's Friday, the semester is over, that can only mean one thing: Giving my staff some Give the Drummer Some.

10:05am Cecile:

our new bin was much bigger. And I got to break format because I was the ONLY one who did the format perfectly. Now, people heard a lot of jazz reissues and deep cuts from popular albums, but I could even bring my own records in eventually.

10:05am tikk:

Wait, we don't get to hear the reason the Pitt DJs had to play 3 tracks from that certain bin?

10:07am Cecile:

I think this may be the reason: to prepare you for the "real" world. Never mind that I know plenty of free-form DJs that had no problem getting commercial or NPR jobs.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there Randy, how the hades are you! Tell your staff I refuse to apologize for this cacaphonic holy mess you are bringing into there lives.

@tikk
It wasn't at Pitt, actually. And I couldn't tell you the reason, because there really is none. Basically, it is a way to enforce that DJs keep up with the new music that "the station" wants the DJs to keep up with. Crazy

10:08am Cecile:

you can't keep up with new music - there is too damn much!

10:09am tikk:

Doug, thanks, didn't mean to imply it was Pitt U. And I guess I get it--otherwise you'd have mildly controlled chaos, or WFMU, as it's otherwise known.

10:10am Randy:

Most of my staff appreciates it. The one who already has a headache not so much :)

10:11am Alex In Illinois:

That we the rule when I DJed at WVKR, Vassar's radio station too. We had the bin of rotation records. We had to play something like one track from any three in the bin during the hour. I think the hourly station ID and the public service announcements we had to do for legal reasons. Then, senior year, they asked me to do an African music show once a week, which did not have any music rotation requirements. I still had to do the "PSAs" and the legal IDs, but beyond that, whatever music I played was up to me.

10:11am Holly in NC:

Good Morning everyone!
Happy Birthday week to Doug!
Still can't listen (not working anywhere w internet this week) :-(
Re Rodin - only piece I've seen live & in person is at my alma mater Smith, was donated by Richard Burton (good trivia!)
@Cecile - you rock :-)
And I LOVE bagpipes.

10:11am Van in DC:

This is like a breath of aural breath

10:12am Andrew Waterloo:

I know the problem our college station had was a sentiment that they needed to be relevant to the all the student listeners.

10:12am Cecile:

thanks Holly!

10:12am Nine in PGH:

If you are speaking of Radio Carnegie Tech, you could always resort to ranting the PSAs like Zombo does (Fridays at noon).

10:13am Cecile:

The U 0f M got around that by having WJJX as a top 40 AM station, and WCBN as the freeform station.

10:14am Cecile:

we had to read PSAs and run station IDs at certain times, but it was a walk in the park compared to other places.

10:14am Cecile:

university of michigan

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Coming up the track after next: Some Sun Ra you have NEVER HEARD BEFORE.

@tikk
Typically the reason that student radio stations enforce the playing of certain music is so that they can "report" those tracks and a) continue to get free records from those labels, and b) to look cool in certain publications that publicize radio station's playlists. Both are deeply insipid reasons, in my unhumble opinion.

Turn it UP, Randy. I swear it will help/

Hi Hoily in NC!!!! Bagpipes love you!

Keep breathing, Van. In, out, in, out. Good!

@Nine in PGH
I am not so flummoxed by the enforced reading of PSAs and station promos. I love having the freedom to NOT read them, but I don't mind that some stations feel the need to pay some lip service to community interests.

It is the enforced playing of music from specified CDs that I find revolting. If I do end up doing something on the air, I will use the "bin" records as talkover tracks.

10:18am Bill D:

I don't think I'm going either, still nursing a fracture in my left foot.

10:19am Andrew Waterloo:

This Osborne and Bailey is really good.

10:21am Nine in PGH:

Talking over the bin cuts is a fair "compromise". Looking forward to hearing you on the actual airwaves here soon.

10:21am ausmanx:

if i get a good Mark Sanders recording at the house next weekend, i'll send you the files maybe , Doug. i've got a bit of an archive now over five years, but i'm not putting it online at this stage. something about improvisation and it being best if you're in the room...

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

I just can't fathom why independent, non-commercial, student-activity-fee-funded radio stations who have to answer to NO ONE, place onerous aesthetic restrictions on themselves. It almost feels to me like they kids are just in training to be close-minded adults.

@Andrew Waterloo
This Osborne/Bailey duo was posted at Inconstant Sol over six months ago and I only just now got to it! You can get to it here: inconstantsol.blogspot.com...

🥁

10:21am Brian in UK:

I think this was recorded in the caff next door. I just heard someone order two cups of rosie and a chip buttie.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Nine in PGH
We shall see. I am game to give it a go...

@ausmanx
I know what you mean about improv sounding best where you're live in the room. There is no doubt about it, but then you listen to something like this recording, and you realize it can still be abjectly thrilling on tape, too.

🥁

10:23am Brian in UK:

@ausmanx agree with your last two lines.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Pianist Bill Evans is on this cut with Cannonball! Percy Heath (tenor) and Connie Kay (drums)—one half of the Modern Jazz Quartet—round out the group here.

10:26am Randy:

Hey Doug, Are you aware this going http://bricartsmedia.org/events/performing-arts/celebrate-ornette-the-music-of-ornette-coleman-featuring-denardo-coleman-vibe happen? :

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

The sound of Cannonball Adderley's horn is the sound of being in love.

10:26am Andrew Waterloo:

Sometimes improv is helped by not being able to see the musicians.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

Next up is some previously unreleased Sun Ra! It comes from the sessions that produced the Strange Strings LP. The folks at Atavistic's Unheard Music Series, rereleased that great record, but the new series of remastered Sun Ra records exclusively on iTunes has issued it with a number of never before heard tracks. Coming up is one of them! Thanks for the Sun Ra Archives director Michael D. "The Good Doctor" Anderson, and thanks to my radio brother Irwin Chusid for sharing this!!

(Sorry I stepped on your lines, Mr. Adderley.)

10:30am earrie:

Who's on first?
er piano?
(Hi)

10:30am Cecile:

Doug, people fear making mistakes so much that they will take all elements of chance out of it. Also, how many kids born after 70 have heard great, unprogrammed radio, or even top 40 that catered to local taste and made regional hits.

10:30am Andrew Waterloo:

iTunes exclusive :(

10:31am Cecile:

You can teach them, Doug. Teach them the ways of freeform.

10:31am earrie:

Bill Evans. I see it, now. Oop.

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Randy
I am droolingly aware!

Good morning, earrie! Bill Evans is on first piano.

@Cecile
I could understand it more if the local radio station was trying to enforce the playing of music by local artists. I would still find it foolish, but at least there would be a rationale.

@Andrew Waterloo
You are not the first to complain.

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

Totally agree Doug about Cannonball forgotton what a sweet sound emanated from his horn.

This is Londons tribute to Sun Ra this weekend.
www.barbican.org.uk...

10:34am Andrew Waterloo:

New York Times had an article about the culture of critique and how the younger generation has a habit of quickly finding fault with things at the risk of never really experiencing anything.

10:35am Andrew Waterloo:

@Doug, I figured it was just iTunes first. I just despair at the idea of installing itunes and having it mess with my music collection.

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
We are now less than 90 minutes away from Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time radio show here on the Drummer Stream. His show is completely different from mine except for one big non-difference. Like me, he adores his music passionately. It globs down the sides of his selections like treacle off a biscuit. Uncle Michael's playlist will be here: wfmu.org...

10:37am Cecile:

Doug, it doesn't make any sense. Your first gut feeling about that is good.

10:46am Cecile:

hey, Doug, it's our birthday time again! Mine's tomorrow. What did you do for yours?

10:50am Uncle Michael:

Doug, you old sweet-talker, you.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

For my birthday, I watched my fabulous daughter's school soccer team win their championship. And I ate some meat! (We rarely have it, since Lincoln is a vegematarian.) Jessie made a spectacular bolognese sauce. And Mr. Duncan Hines dropped by with a delish cake. (We are a Duncan Hines family. Betty Crocker STAY AWAY!)

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CECILE!

10:52am Hugo:

Hearing My Favourite Things, can't help thinking of Coltrane. How many versions are there, released and unreleased?

10:53am Alex In Illinois:

My birthday is tomorrow too.

10:53am ndbob:

Happy Birthday Cecile and Alex!

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

YAHOO, ALEX!!!

10:54am Uncle Michael:

Going way back to when this came up...since I was in the kitchen then. I believe there is a growing trend in college radio to emulate the commercial medium in order to justify the continued existence of the stations, course offerings, faculty and staff overhead, licensing, etc. The idea is that it's a training ground and they need to learn to be working professionals. It's long been this way for college television stations and newspapers so why should radio be any fun? One must learn to live with a crushed soul now, because that's how the real world is.

10:55am Uncle Michael:

Happy birthday to anyone that has a birthday in 2014!

10:55am northguineahills:

Super Happy fun times, to all of the Dougs, Ceciles and Alexes out there.

Got suck in Beatin' the Airwaves land, and forgot switch over at halfitme.

10:55am Cecile:

That sounds lovely, Doug! Yay, Alex!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

@northguineahills
I hope you didn't get splinched!

10:57am earrie:

Happy birthdays!

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

@Hugo Julie Andrews!!

Happy Birthday EVERYONE.

10:58am Hugo:

Ah, mine's half a year away. Thinking of Lisbon for that particular occasion.

10:59am northguineahills:

My college radio station was sold to clear channel just as I graduated HS, which was a shame, b/c it was good station. There was an ok one in Jacksonville until 1995.

11:00am Hugo:

The best version of Sound of Music remains that of the Bonzos, with the Vivian Stanshall intro.

🥁

11:02am Brian in UK:

People wanted to touch...my clothes. I know the feeling, Hugo.

11:02am Lewis:

@hugo - so true

🥁

11:02am Brian in UK:

Hey you have the same trouble with your trouser as I do.

11:02am Stanley:

I have often taken sanctuary in a nearby cinema.

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Lewis!

11:03am Stanley:

Hi Doug and fellow beings.

🥁

11:03am Brian in UK:

Nice lurking, Stanley.

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

You are making a rather large assumption there, Stanley. I'd like to think there is some inanimate matter pulled up in a comfy chair listening, too.

11:06am Stanley:

Not to forget the comfy chair, itself!

11:06am earrie:

If not matter then maybe some kinda energy.

11:06am Van in DC:

That would be me at work, Doug

11:06am Cecile:

I like to think that my clothes turn on the radio and dance around the house when I'm not there.

🥁

11:07am Brian in UK:

Latent.

11:07am Hugo:

Does matter matter?

🥁

11:08am bobdc:

Hi Doug--after the last song I heard the beginning of one of your classic talkover tracks, but then it quickly switched to some other soul song, and while the web page says "Your DJ speaks" I'm not hearing that.

🥁

11:08am Brian in UK:

One tree clapping, anyone.

11:09am Alex In Illinois:

@NorthGuineaHills: That is the most horrible college radio station story I have ever heard. I think that is worse than a few token "rotation bin" cuts per hours.

At University of Maryland, where my sister teaches, they have both a broadcast FM station (with Internet streaming) and an Internet-only station. But the weird thing is that they never have all of the time slots filled up. Their schedule has too many empty spots where they go off the air. When I was in college, there were more students and faculty wanting to have radio shows than available time slots.

11:09am northguineahills:

yeah, what bobdc said. I think it went back to the stream.

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
Hmmm. The talkover track I just played started with the fellow saying, "Hay Mabrey, why don't you play the organ, man?" And that's the name of the song. Did you not hear that?

11:12am Carmichael:

Good morning, Doug and Drumheads.

11:12am northguineahills:

W/ no outlet, my friends did pirate radio until they got busted by the FCC after 2 years in operation. It was a mobile station as well.

🥁

11:13am Brian in UK:

Carmichael, your wheels?

11:13am northguineahills:

It cut right as he started talking.

🥁

11:13am bobdc:

I did not hear that. I did just hear a sudden switch from an afrobeat-sounding thing to a more Ethio-jazz groove.

11:14am Cecile:

I think there is so much emphasis on personal communication and having ones own "personal brand" that it's hard to get people collaborating. Also, to listen to radio you have to put the reins in someone else's hands. That's getting taught as being a bad thing.

11:14am northguineahills:

The music on the stream and the playlist don't match.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

OH shite! It DID kick back to the stream. Thank you bobdc and NGH for tipping me off. I am always the last to know. I bet none of you heard my mic break. When the stream kicked it, it went to an Art Ensemble of Chicago cut, which you must have assumed was something I was playing. We are back online with Fitz Gore...

Sorrry everyone. I guess the universe didn't like my crack about inanimate objects.

11:15am Alex In Illinois:

Of course my favorite college radio station story that of WFMU, where the radio station outlived the college.

11:15am Uncle Michael:

The station was more important than the college.

11:16am Andrew Waterloo:

Our local college station went to a user support public radio format, but the programming is incredibly bland.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

All blessings to Jeff Moore, the tech director at WFMU. He has all us streaming DJs making local recordings our shows in FLAC form so we can post higher-quality archives. This also means that the archives will be complete, without the stream drop-outs.

11:16am Van in DC:

The universe object'ed

11:16am Carmichael:

Brian, those aren't my wheels, they belong to Yusuf Islam, who's proudly displaying them.

11:16am ndbob:

@Alex I went to U of M for one of my graduate programs, but I don't remember what the campus station was like at that time.

🥁

11:17am bobdc:

I'll look forward to hearing that mic break!

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Just got knocked off again, but I was ready for it this time. Fuck YOU, physical universe!

11:19am Carmichael:

I worked at Liz Berg's alma mater, UC Davis, but did not work for the station KDVS like she did. Totally freeform, totally cool.

11:20am Alex In Illinois:

@ndbob: Neither do most present-day Terrapin students and faculty. My sister did not know that they had a radio station until I sought it out

🥁

11:20am Brian in UK:

Carmichael, ah yes ofcourse I see the door poster. No traditional dress anymore. Steven not you.

11:22am Uncle Michael:

Hinky Dinky Time has a strict studio dress code.

11:23am ndbob:

@Alex I do know someone though who worked at the station in the early 70s

11:23am Alex In Illinois:

There is a sort of Commuter university in Chicago, Northeaster Illinois U, that had a good freeform station WZRD, but then strange things started happing to that place - the whole university.

11:24am Dean:

Took me a while to take to Coursil's Trails of Tears. Good to hear more from his work.

11:24am Pascal:

Greetings all, thanks for the music Doug!

Allow me to chime in self-servingly and vouch for the quality of WCBN at U of M...

11:24am Carmichael:

I did, however, start my high school radio station, which was the extreme end of freeform: chaos. And I volunteer DJ'ed at a local community radio station for nearly 20 years, playing a retro show much like Fool's Paradise, but without all the whizz bang effects Rex is known for.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Are y'all ready to "Do the Pig." Just put your hands on your ham, and...

11:25am Stanley:

...... be prepared to be arrested!

11:25am Van in DC:

Now you're cookin' Doug. In fact, you're bacon

🥁

11:26am Brian in UK:

I'm going to do the Beagle Walk. Nose to the ground, ass in the air.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya Carmichae, Dean and Pascal! WCBN is a great station. Our own Ken Freedman and Rob Weisberg (and also I believe listener Cecile) are ex-WCBN deejays.

11:27am still b/p:

Someone let me sample their bacon fried rice last night. What a world, what a world.

11:27am Cecile:

Yep, Doug is right. Also Katie Gentile from Transpacific Sound Paradise.

11:27am Carmichael:

WCBN is at the U of which "M"??

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Mmmmm bacon. Thanks, Van!

11:28am Cecile:

The REAL M. MICHIGAN. hahahhahaha

11:28am Dean:

"sample their bacon fried rice"--As they say, is that what the kids are calling it these days?

11:30am Hechicero:

Capsula! Cool. This guys are from Argentina

11:30am Cecile:

I might have to "borrow" Do The Pig if I like it. I am making a little movie about an adventurous piggy bank. In pre-production stills, I have him eating breakfast - a tiny bowl filled with loose change, and I made him a little bed. Yeah, I'm weird. Shooting starts soon with a budget of $0.00.

11:30am Pascal:

Cecile, when did you do a show? I've been there for about five years now and it's definitely helping me stay human in grad school.

Also, we all take pride in our WFMU connections...

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Any like to to a guess as to what WFMU stands for? (I actually don't know.)

Where Faeries Mulch Unobviously?

11:31am Hechicero:

Oops. Wrong playlist.

11:31am Cecile:

1983-87, Pascal.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Hola, Hechicero! You are on the wrong playlist. You wanna be here: wfmu.org...

11:31am Dean:

What frequency modulations, Uncle?

11:31am Cecile:

I think Frank Uhle and Arwulf might still remember me.

11:31am Hugo:

Intriguing, this Coursil record. Not really what you expected, knowing the BYG Actuel releases.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Frequency Modulated Upsala?

11:32am Cecile:

I like this Jacques Coursil.

11:33am Carmichael:

@Cecile: I was thinking "Moldavia". :)

11:34am still b/p:

No code involved in the dish reference, dean....but it sure as hell has to do with consequence-be-damned, pleasure-receptor indulgence and payoff for all ages.

11:34am Cecile:

that would be awesome, Carm, but no.

11:34am Van in DC:

This is one instance when you are more than welcome to give us all the FLAC you can

11:34am Pascal:

Arwulf is still going strong. By the way, this link might be of interest to the drummer somers! An online archive of WCBN's Cornbelt Symphony from the late 70s: "scratchy records, in whatever condition we found them, broadcast over a college station, recorded off-the-air on cheap machines using cheap cassettes, stored for 35 years, then ripped to an mp3 file with almost no audio filtering or other post-processing"

http://markhardin.com/CornbeltSite/

11:37am Cecile:

Perfect song. I will have to work that in there.

11:38am Van in DC:

Pig out!

11:39am still b/p:

Made my bristles boogie.

11:40am Carmichael:

Hey, the Merced Blue Notes are actually from Merced! A small farming town about 50 miles from here down hwy 99. Neva hoid of 'em.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

WFMU used to run tapes of Arwulf's show on the air. I loved that show. Somewhere in the bowels of WFMU is a huge cardboard box filed with cassettes of the Arwulf show.

@Carmichael
They moved to Detroit at one point...

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

You cookin' Doug, you cookin'.
Great weekend everone.

11:43am Cecile:

See, and that record might have been played in Merced on top 40 radio. The chain radio stations, as I call them, have lost that.

11:43am Dean:

Merced is evolving, now that the shiny new UC campus is up and running. It's now a small-ish town.

11:43am Cecile:

you too, Brian!

11:43am Stanley:

What Brian said.

Shlater all.

11:45am Pascal:

Is WFMU an appropriate four letter word?

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of cooking, Brian in UK, I am making pizza tonight. A caramelized onion and yukon gold potato pie!

11:48am Carmichael:

@Dean, I came close to transferring my UC job there, but got a better offer from the gubmint. My daughters are considering going to school there.

11:49am Cecile:

OH! This is a great track. Duane introduced me to this song.

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

Wow, Doug that sounds massive. Red or white onions?

11:50am Van in DC:

and lots of bacon? mmmmm bacon pizza mmmmm

11:51am Dean:

@Carmichael, It's a lean and mean campus, and a clean-slate experiment in innovative higher education. Much (most?) of the library collection is electronic, for instance. I think they're gunning for a medical school sometime soon.

🥁

11:52am Brian in UK:

Van I am worried you might do something rash.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael is up next: wfmu.org...

Amanda Nazario will be filling in at midnight tonight over on the WFMU Mothership! (She will also be filling in for Dave the Spazz on the Mothership on June 26.)

There will be NO Give the Drummer Some next Friday. I will be attending my daughter's "promotion" (as they call middle school graduation) ceremony. The great Gary Sullivan of Bodega Pop Live will be filling in for me next Friday!!!!!

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Van in DC
I have been using prosciutto on my pizzas. Very much like bacon, but a little less overpowering. Still very bacon-y, though.

🥁

11:53am Brian in UK:

Doug does she have a Prim like a pre-Prom.

11:54am Van in DC:

ha ha Brian. I just might

11:54am davex:

Checking back in just in time to express my appreciation as always, Doug. Enjoy your various meals everyone!

11:54am Uncle Michael:

You know that precise moment when your sinuses tell you you're getting a cold? yeah.

11:55am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, davex and ndbob. It is always my desperate pleasure to provide!

11:55am Cecile:

Prosciutto is great on pizza.

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

Uncle Black Sabbath at 78rpm. Only known cure.

11:55am Van in DC:

What a great last set! It's been like a breath of aural awesome. Thanks Doug! Have a wonderful weekend all.

Off to find pizza.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Thank you Doug...great show. See you all over in the next room.

11:56am Pascal:

Thanks for the music and pizza ideas, Doug!

11:57am jessie:

Such a pretty song -- and what would my daddy say?

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

You're so extremely welcome, Pascal!!

@Uncle Michael
The cymbal thrum on this track reminds me of YOUR closing theme!

@jessie
Who's you daddy?!

11:58am Cecile:

beautiful version of this

11:58am Dean:

Another pizza tip: Put honey in your dough.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Keep breathing, Van!

12:00pm Van in DC:

Glad I stayed for this last tune. NICE.

12:00pm northguineahills:

Thanks Doug. T'was a mighty fine time!

12:00pm Lewis:
