WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 12/26/14

Listener comments!

8:43am annie:

it's bachfest and i may not be able to switch the dial..

8:46am doca:

Hi, Doug! Hey, @annie, WFMU is good to listen even if you're not actually listening to it.

8:46am Doug Schulkind:

annie!
We tuned into to WKCR's Bach festival yesterday to listen while unwrapping presents and the DJ must've got stuck in the bathroom because for about 10 minutes, all we heard was the needle thwacking against a record's center label. At least they were playing vinyl!!

Hey hey, doca!

8:49am annie:

i know!!!! i heard that, too.. it had a good beat to it...i love that sound, too.. i thought he might have gone out for a smoke and locked himself out.

8:49am doca:

@Doug: I've posted this on my blog today, maybe you'll like. It is a couple of Brazilian 78rpm recordings of traditional Afro-Brazilian musical genres. It's on an album that reworks these recordings, but I guess you'll like more the originals

🥁

8:51am duke:

Happy Boxing Day. It is Boxing Day right?

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
I'll check it out right after the show!

8:53am Smokin' Joe Schulkind:

@duke
Ready to go a few rounds?

8:57am annie:

yep duke, boxing day

8:58am doca:

I never understood what Boxing Day is or why it is called Boxing Day

8:59am annie:

it is the day the servants return to work and are gifted by their employers.

8:59am doca:

It is that day when people fight each other on the streets, right? (kidding)

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Jack-in-the-Boxing Day?!

🥁

9:00am listener james from westwood:

It's the day when everyone goes home with their new CD boxed sets and rocks out. AS THE GODS INTENDED.

How do, Doug and all!

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning to you, ndbob, and to everyone!

🥁

9:02am duke:

Mike Tyson's birthday?

9:02am PeterRarebit:

some righteous boogie here

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

I believe Listener James has it right: Boxed Setting Day!

9:04am doca:

Hahah that's a cool Boxing Day

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Savory, melty cheese greetings, PeterRarebit!

9:16am PeterRarebit:

@ the DJ: ...with a few stray tufts of character-building fur...

🥁

9:17am listener james from westwood:

Loving this DJ Sandi.

9:18am Uncle Michael:

Gut morgen.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Christopher Kirkley at Sahel Sounds has bee gathering and distributing some of the most thrilling music the past few years. This Balani Show collection chief among them!

@Uncle Michael
Spilling your guts again?!

9:19am Uncle Michael:

Isn't today when we break down the boxes from yesterday...if the cat is done with them?

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of cats and boxes, take a gander at Uncle Michael's playlist page for later: wfmu.org...

9:21am Webhamster Henry:

How about pre-tsunami music from Indonesia and Thailand?

9:22am PeterRarebit:

This set is a good example of a marriage of things that seem very different but go well together. For example, my wife and I don't like each other, but we've been married for over 20 years.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Didn't we just pass the 10th anniversary of the horrible tsunami? A dear friend of ours from Sri Lanka lost many close family members. Awful awful awful.

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

@PeterRarebit
Me and Mrs. Drummersome celebrate our 20th in March.

🥁

9:28am listener james from westwood:

Doug, I believe we did indeed hit the 10-year mark on that.

9:29am annie:

ok, i switched the dial to GTDS....

🥁

9:29am listener james from westwood:

We'll hit 10 yrs on Katrina next year, if you can believe.

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

There'll be waves of stories about Katrina next year.

9:35am PeterRarebit:

@DS Did you have a grunge wedding, too? My priest's vestments included a flannel cassock, waffle union suit alb underneath, and a Roman collar made from a Temple of the Dog backstage pass. "You may now mosh the bride!"

Of course, non-Catholics didn't have to accept the espresso sip or wafer-of-smack Communion.

9:38am glenn:

box this, yo.

🥁

9:42am listener james from westwood:

All rise for Lonnie.

🥁

9:43am duke:

Yay. Lonnie Holley

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

glenn got past the bouncers again!

🥁

9:45am listener james from westwood:

They'll box his ears!

9:45am glenn:

i'm sneaky that way.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

@PeterR
Jessie and I got married at NYC city hall. The Justice of the Peace had a thick Puerto Rican accent. We have the whole "ceremony" on cassette tape. She says, "Do you, Duglés take this woman Yessy, to be..." It was PERFECT.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, some amazing experimental music inspired by the music of Karen Dalton!

9:47am glenn:

duglés and yessy, sittin' in a tree.

9:48am ndbob:

great one here!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff Golick of D:O Radio (Mondays, 12-2p) and The Magic Hour (Wednesdays, 9-10a) turned me onto this Nathan McLaughlin. Thank you, Jeff!

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

One of Karen Dalton's best-loved tunes was "Katie Cruel." This performance uses it as its touchstone.

🥁

9:51am listener james from westwood:

I see that I have already starred this track. I learned this when I flipped to this page to star this track.

9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Guten Tzag 2nd Streamers.

9:53am PeterRarebit:

I did a Karen Studies degree at the University of Soft Rock.

The school motto, trans. from the Lt.: Jesus was a carpenter, but Karen was a better frontman.

9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Give the Drummer indeed...

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
There should be a feature enabling the star of a star.

Greetings and salutations, Revolution Rabbit Nov63! (Have you met PeterRarebit? I think you two would get along famously.)

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Proof #729 that God didn't fuck up completely when he/she created the human race: This music right here.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

I mean, God must be looking down on Nathan McLaughlin in his little studio or whatever and going, "Hot shit! I made that."

10:03am glenn:

speaking of carpenters [and radio]. www.lie-nielsen.com...

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

Then God looked down and saw Ernst Reijseger and started weeping. With joy. With utter joy.

10:12am SeanG:

thanks for turning me on to Ernst, Doug!

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

@SeanG
It is my overwhelming pleasure, SeanG!

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

2014 was the year I finally learned to begin loving Derek Bailey.

10:21am Carl S.:

Congrat.s to Mr & Mrs Schulkind (nee Allen), NY is less harmonious without ye- Thanks too, to Doug giving us the drummers and much more!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, Carl S! Mrs. Schulkind is still Allen! And we still desperately miss NY.

🥁

10:30am βrian:

Happy Friday. Christmas on the Isthmus was quite nice. No snow but clear skies.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Mike Osborne is one of my most favorite musicians. A monster improvisor with the blast-furnace heart of a genius too hot for this world. Sometime time around the early 1980s, Osborne fell off the edge of the world and no one knew where he went or why. He had had terrible drug and marriage and mental health struggles, but still, his disappearance was a complete mystery.

In 2007, I met a fellow who tracked Osborne down to an in-patient psychiatric facility where Osborne had been living for many, many years. This fellow met with Ossie and took his picture. Here is a before and after: wfmu.org...

On odd occasions, Ossie would play his sax for fellow residents and staff—and no one knew the genius artist that lived among them. (Undoubtedly, Ossie no longer played with anything remotely like the ability he had once had.)

When Ossie died, I had that fellow who re-discovered him on with me on my show. Here's the playlist from that incredible show: wfmu.org...

Keep resting in peace, dear Ossie.

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

I'm glad you showed up, βrian, so I could wish you Merry Isthmus!

10:33am PeterRarebit:

Thank you for the long post, DS. I appreciate the attention to grammar, clarity and paragraphization in the brief time allotted. Interesting content, too, but I'm more a fan of everything surrounding content than in the thing itself.

10:36am Andrew Waterloo:

Will have to check out that old Mike Osborne show.

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

I hears ya, PeterRarebit. Sometimes, context is not king. It is just an annoying jester juggling in the corner.

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Andrew Waterloo!

10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Here really taking the Pipes into an authentic FreeJazz kinda place successfully...whilst still referring to a Pipey Tradition...

🥁

10:45am listener james from westwood:

For the record, this has also been a "best-of bed music" show for me, too.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

I made my beds, Listeners James, now we gotta lay in them.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

@RevRabNov63
Yeah, you got to the very molten core of what made that Dunmall so great.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

This record was a "break-up" record of sorts for Ms. Gauthier. Here's hoping the next one is a "found a new love" record.

11:00am jeff g:

Belated yer welcome, Doug. Balance sheet is still in your favor. Thanks for the bounty that is GTDR!

Happy 2015 wishes to all Drummers!

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff Gee!

🥁

11:01am duke:

I knew Twilight Nuages would make it. This song just makes me happy.

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Happy sad. Happy sad. Happy sad.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

RIP, Elodie.

11:08am Marie:

Hey, haven't listened for a while. Forgot how good the show is!

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome back, Marie!

11:14am Carmichael:

Hey ho Doug and listeners. Alone at work, so play these records extra loud! Oh wait, I just realized I have a volume knob ....

🥁

11:15am βrian:

Shouldn't there be an 'e' on Moderne?

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

There isn't an extra E despite my bullshit French accent, βrian.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

HOW'S THIS, CARMICHAEL?!

11:20am βrian:

"We live as we work, alone."

🥁

11:22am listener james from westwood:

Love this Gigli track.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Beniamino gettin' Bizet!

11:24am Carmichael:

Speaking of Ossies, former cartwheeling shortstop Ozzie Smith turns 60 today.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

When Jessie graduated from law school, I gave "her" a pair of tickets to a half-season of opera at the Met. Best present I ever "gave" anyone.

11:25am Shaun:

Late again! It's all this boxing what I am doing.
Morning Doug and all.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Take off your gloves, spit out your mouthpiece and stay a while, Shaun!

11:26am Carmichael:

No offense to Mr. Gigli, but maybe someday we can hear some authentic castrato music. Fascinating and creepy.

11:26am Lore:

sublime segue

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

About to get sublimer, Lore!

11:28am Shaun:

Hide this horseshoe. I'm staying.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
You've some balls to make that request!

🥁

11:31am βrian:

Put a little merengue on that sublime pie.

11:34am Uncle Michael:

How long till we hear "Music Box Dancer," Doug?

🥁

11:34am βrian:

Yes, it's Friday!

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

God, I love Fridays.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

The briskness of it all!

11:37am Webhamster Henry:

Oh, how this calls for autotuning.

11:39am Carmichael:

I'm assuming that was some type of "outpatient therapy".

11:40am Rich in Washington:

I somehow missed that Murray died this year. Don't know how. I used to play his 'get downs' at the start of my shows when it used to be on Friday evenings.
Rest in peace, Murray!

11:43am Robert:

I went to school outside Cleveland too -- hundreds of miles outside it, in fact.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time show airs next on the Drummer Stream. Playlist page here: wfmu.org...

11:43am Rich in Washington:

He (or someone) put out a CD compilation called optimistically titled The Get Downs, vol.1. I have no idea if there was a vol.2, 3, etc.

11:44am Uncle Michael:

I hope you can all come on over to Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour. I have a cheese log and Triscuits.

www.wfmu.org...

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Rich in Washington!

Rimshot, Robert!

🥁

11:50am listener james from westwood:

Must commit the grievous sin of sliding outside the GTDR listening area for a stretch. Will be back for the bottom half of UM's mighty Hinky Dinky Time. Thanks, Doug, for the fine musical memories!

11:51am Uncle Michael:

This song is amazing. "Gee, he's a wonderful skier."

11:52am Webhamster Henry:

I'm favoriting a lot of stuff today! This sounds rather MSR like!

11:52am Uncle Michael:

See you later, James.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Say two Hail Mary Halvorson's and you will be absolved, Listener James.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Oh hey! Forgot to say greetings, Webhamster Henry!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

See you all next door.

Great show, Doug...thanks!

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:58am Rich in Washington:

Thanks, Doug! Hope you had a great holidaze!

🥁

11:58am duke:

best best of show Doug

🥁

1:05pm Doug Schulkind:
