Listener comments!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:02pm listener james from westwood:

It is unforgivable that I have still not seen this film. Stills and GIFs come up so often in my Tumblr stream. Plus it's, what, 20 or 25% of John Cazale's filmography? Which is itself sad.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:05pm Doug Day Afternoon:

You still have time, James!
Avatar 5:36pm doca:

That's a great movie, @listener james. Hi, @Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:37pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi d@ca!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:37pm listener james from westwood:

LOL @ "Doug Day Afternoon." How do, Doug, doca, and all!!
Avatar 5:43pm doca:

Music to rob banks by
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:43pm Doug Schulkind:

You've got the idea, doca!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:50pm Gary:

I thought "bank robbery" meant when the banks rob us. Does it have an earlier meaning?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:51pm Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Sorry, we are going to have to charge you a "snark fee" for that comment.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:54pm davex:

Hey it's Tuesday, almost midnight...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for staying up late with me, davex. I'll make some hot cocoa.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:56pm davex:

Thanks, Doug! I just popped open something else myself, in fact.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:57pm davex:

What's the snazzy number playing right now?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:58pm Doug Schulkind:

@davex
This is Conjunto Balambossa performing "Fiz o Bobão." From 1966.
Avatar 5:59pm doca:

Haha that means "I've played the fool", @Doug
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:59pm davex:

Perfect, I've been listening to newer Brazilian stuff the last hour or so...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:03pm listener james from westwood:

Act natural, this show has a gub.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:04pm Doug Schulkind:

You beat me to it, LJFW. I was gonna say,

Careful, this show is loaded!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:12pm listener james from westwood:

Virgil Starkwell is listening to this show in jail, with an iPhone baked into a huge loaf of bread.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm Doug Schulkind:

The one with the file app, no doubt.
Avatar 6:15pm Holly in NC:

Doug Day Afternoon :-) Love it! And such a wonderful movie.
Sad missed Merle.
Glad here!
  6:16pm Dean:

The Clash, "Bankrobber"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Holly and Dean!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

[Coming up, Dean.]
Avatar 6:20pm northguineahills:

Hadn't heard Merle Haggard's Bonnie & Clyde before.
  6:20pm Dean:

Robert Ashley, "Perfect Lives"?
  6:23pm Dean:

Mac Dre, "Punk Police"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:25pm Doug Schulkind:

Don't know that Ashley, Dean. Can you hum a few bars? Can you hum a few behind bars?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:25pm Gary:

This is great -- reminds me a bit of Milkman of Human Kindness guy, what was his name again?
Avatar 6:27pm Holly in NC:

@Gary - Billy Bragg
Avatar 6:27pm Carmichael:

Anything by Left Banke. Yikes, hi Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:28pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Carmichael!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:29pm Gary:

Thank you, Holly ... and yay Clash!
Avatar 6:29pm ndbob:

hey Doug and everyone - massive internet issues past few days
Avatar 6:30pm ndbob:

hopefully I can stay connected
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm listener james from westwood:

This must be John Carpenter Day. Not only did you have the Escape from New York music, but I read a discourse on the art of swearing in Carpenter's The Thing earlier today, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm Doug Schulkind:

Sorry to hear it, ndbob. Glad you're here. Hope you can hear!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm listener james from westwood:

Hang in there, ndbob! Add another potato to the impromptu Internet antenna!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

There are no coincidences, Listener James.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

This next selection qualifies for this show's theme, but barely.
Avatar 6:31pm Holly in NC:

I will be sorely disappointed if we don't hear Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper's "I Hate Banks".
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:32pm Doug Schulkind:

But do the actually ROB the banks, Holly?
  6:33pm Dean:

I like to think of it as taking out a criminally low interest loan.
Avatar 6:34pm doca:

Stealing the future!
Avatar 6:34pm Holly in NC:

@Doug: Yes. Opening verse:
I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under that's where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:36pm Doug Schulkind:

Wish I could rush it onto the air for you, Holly.
Avatar 6:36pm Carmichael:

I have a few cuts by a band called Cops 'n' Robbers, but they don't mention banks specifically.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:38pm Doug Schulkind:

I reluctantly chose to leave out Bo Diddley's "Cops and Robbers" for that very reason.
Avatar 6:38pm Holly in NC:

Meanwhile so psyched about The Ex!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Doug Schulkind:

I will keep that Ex track in the back of mind for when I do my hour-long Sperm Special!
Avatar 6:39pm Holly in NC:

@Doug - Very politic way of saying "no way in hell Holly, I hate that song" :-) xo
  6:39pm Dean:

Do songs about robbing savings and loans or credit unions count? Are there any?
  6:40pm Jeff g. Where the money is:

hi from Beantown. Love love love Dig Day. I wanna go to Montana, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Jesse Kaminsky will be robbing Peter to play Peter, Paul and Mary—with Kaminsky Kamoutsky—at 7pm ET over here: wfmu.org...
  6:41pm Dean:

Didn't Sabbath do a tune about FDIC protection of depositor assets?
  6:41pm Jeff g. Where the money is:

I have a sadz tho cuz the FMU app keeps quitting on me. Anyone else having similar trouble?
Avatar 6:42pm Carmichael:

Jeff, my iphone app is working AOK. Maybe it's your wireless connection?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:44pm listener james from westwood:

Otto: no apparent relation to Baldur von Schirach.
  6:45pm Jeff g. Where the money is:

Don't think so, Carmichael, as I'm currently streaming via pop-up (on an iPhone). Deleted & redownloaded the app, but it keeps quitting... Hm.
Avatar 6:46pm Holly in NC:

Can't speak to app as left phone at home, but the dang pop-up player won't open on my computer! I blame the latest Firefox, Mozilla is getting mighty paternal in their efforts to protect user privacy. Pissing me off.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
Don't have mine handy. Listener James baked my iPhone into a load of Russian pumpernickel for Virgil Starkwell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

If I didn't play Serge & Bridget, you guys would have flayed me!
  6:47pm jeff g in Beantown:

App working now! Whee!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:47pm listener james from westwood:

Doug, I would have felt ... robbed.
  6:48pm jeff g in Beantown:

@Doug: just abt natural.
Avatar 6:48pm Holly in NC:

ooohh!!! John Lee Hooker - I'm Bad Like Jesse James !! Will that fit your criteria?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:48pm Doug Schulkind:

I played this next snippet on my show commemorating the anniversary of...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:48pm Doug Schulkind:

...Attica.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:50pm listener james from westwood:

And THAT's the line I've seen in a bunch of the GIFs I mentioned above.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:50pm Doug Schulkind:

Yes yes a thousand times yes, Holly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:50pm listener james from westwood:

Avatar 6:51pm northguineahills:

I love the Laetitia Sadier/Dean Wareham Bonnie & Clyde.
Avatar 6:51pm doca:

oh that question mark was me
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:52pm Doug Schulkind:

You're onto something big. Mike from MPLS!

@northguineahills
Honestly, I could do an entire show of B&C covers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:52pm Joe McG:

Hey, Doug, did you see the documentary "The Dog" yet? He was pretty annoyed about Pacino saying "Attica" in the movie of his life! (He never said it.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

Earl Durand wasn't really much of a bank robber. His life ended during a hamfisted bank robbery, though. So he qualifies.
Avatar 6:54pm Monica:

doug, your show has me thinking about pens on short ball bearing chains and deposit slips. great theme - and tunes to boot!
Avatar 6:54pm Carmichael:

This sounds ilke Ed Sullivan.
  6:55pm jeff g in Beantown:

Dennis Moore Dennis Moore mm mm mmm.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:55pm Doug Schulkind:

I haven't seen it, Joe McG. That's the film about the real Brooklyn bank robber John Wojtowicz?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm Joe McG:

@Doug: That's the guy! A fun watch.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Charlie Brown (Charles Artman) was a regular hanger-outer and street singer at Berkeley during the free-speech movement days.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm listener james from westwood:

@jeff g: Yes, was humming the same thing during that earlier track. Riding along w/ a giant sack labeled SWAG. Which makes me think it was full of FMU DJ premiums.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey John:

ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

Take that.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:59pm Gary:

No funny parting joke -- but thank you for the show, Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:59pm davex:

You can bank on this show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm listener james from westwood:

Sweet tribute, Doug! We've dug your phone out of the bread, safe and sound, as promised. Also, corned beef on Russian pumpernickel for all!!
Avatar 7:00pm Holly in NC:

Thank you, Doug.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Mmmmm, corned beef!

You've been a bang-up audience, y'all!!!
