8:45am duke:

GTDR - cranking out the hits

8:46am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
GTDR, nothin' but an old crank. Is that what you're saying?!

8:59am ndbob:

Howdy Doug! Thanks for doing what you do.

9:10am Mr C:

Good morning Mr. Blues..

9:10am Michael:

Could use some Rio after this week. Morning to Doug and fellow travelers.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
I'll start bailing!

@glenn
Mushrooms for all legislators!

@SeanG
It is my profound pleasure!

@Mr C
Always honored by your groovy presence!

@Michael
Plenty of kooky, crazy Rio for you...

9:11am Konin:

Morning, Doug, all. This sounds NICE!

9:12am holland oats:

greets all / muy bueno drumma!

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Konin the Librarian! (Oh how I wish you really were a librarian.)

@holland oats
My favorite Dutch breakfast cereal!

9:13am glenn:

i will NOT point out that most legislators ARE mushrooms.

🥁

9:14am listener james from westwood:

I've got so much GTDR to catch up with from yesterday, but that only means I've got fine fine lis'nin' tomorrow in the archives (also during work ... busy end of the month!).

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Buncha Brazilian hippies these are.

9:17am Konin:

Actually my full name is Konin The Barber. But I like your suggestion too, Doug.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Duly un-noted.

@Konin
For some reason, that makes me think of Spike Lee's first film, "Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads"

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Flutes and bongos? Flutes and bongos!

9:21am glenn:

isn't head cutting what the old blues and jazz dudes used to call after hours jam sessions?

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Just cutting, as in "cutting sessions." These were the late-night affairs in clubs after all the musicians finished their regular gigs. They would gather and play collaboratively. but competitively. If another player on your instrument outplayed you, you had to leave the bandstand.

9:26am glenn:

hell, i'd never even make the bandstand.

9:31am Uncle Michael:

Gooooooooooooooood Morning.

9:36am Guido from Cologne:

Good morning Doug, Michael, TZAG everyone!

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, Guido from Cologne!

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Mabye that's because you're treating your woman like pig, Joe. Ever think of that?!

9:46am Shaun:

'Fatally running over a friend'. Just heard Suge Knight's been busted for fatally running over a friend.
Hello Doug. Hello Drummersomers.

🥁

9:47am duke:

@shaun think what he does to his enemies

9:49am Shaun:

@duke lol

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Shaun
Funny you should bring that up. I will tell a similar tale in a moment...

🥁

9:52am βrian:

Good morning. Do we have a theme today?

9:53am Holly in NC:

Morning! Blow, man, blow!!

🥁

9:56am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and desperadoes.

Was it Bette Midler who said 'I'm a librarian really'.

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

The theme, βrian, is songs about calling your woman like a pig and urging gentlemen to exhale explosively through a saxophone.

Welcome aboard, Holly in NC!

9:56am Holly in NC:

??! Please direct me to 'flutes & bongos', dear Doug!

🥁

9:57am βrian:

Sounds risky to me.

🥁

9:58am Brian in UK:

I am with 38 Degrees.
www.38degrees.org.uk

🥁

9:58am Artie Haywire:

Reeds don't fail me now.

10:06am Shaun:

'Alcohol impresario, Mr Alfonse Capone'.

10:06am Lewis:

wait! flutes and bongos! is that any relation to bongos, bongos, bongos or bongos, flute guitar? Two classics on vinyl in my good friend's collection. Could really clear the room after the keg died and it was time to sleep...

10:08am Lewis:

oh yeah, and they were In Stereo!

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Holly in NC
The flutes 'n' bongos appeared in the first set.

@Brain in UK
How the frack are ya?!

@Artie Haywire
You gotta warm up your embouchure first.

@Lewis
I like your story better than mine. My flute and bongos appeared in the Brazilian hippie set at the start of the show.

10:13am Mr C:

I forgot how good this album is...didn't know McCoy story

🥁

10:16am Artie Haywire:

Oooh, this is *nice*.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
McCoy Tyner, another Philly stalwart.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

This tune by Rocky Boyd is queerly reminiscent of another song, made famous AFTER this was recorded. Can you guess the song?

10:21am Shaun:

'So Why', Doug??

10:22am Shaun:

Whatnot

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Is a person dedicated to explore the deepspace of questioning the universe a Whatnaut?

10:25am Shaun:

An everything pilot is an Aughtnaut.

10:29am Spaniel:

good AM all! enjoying this weekend eve with all you whatnuts and whynauts

10:30am Mr C:

How about a Marzette Watts tribute

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

@Spaniel
You are most welcome! Pull on a spacesuit, grab some freeze-dried Tang and let's go!

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
It would be interesting to do some deep listening to all the recording sessions Watts engineered. Did he have a discernible "sound" I wonder?

10:33am Blacktooth:

That Crystallized Movements track was BONKERS!!!!!! Thanks for the pre-lunch mind-fry....

🥁

10:34am βrian:

Mmm, Moon Tang!

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

@Blacktooth
You're on the "wrong" playlist. Go here: wfmu.org...

10:35am Alex In Illinois:

Do they still make Tang? Do Astronauts still drink it? I wonder if Cosmonauts have ever had a freeze-dried Vodka drink.

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Careful, Sonny. You almost said "poontang." Ack!

@Alex in Illinois
There simply has GOT to have been some freeze-dried vodka somewhere in human history.

10:36am ndbob:

Yep they do though I can't remember the last time I saw it

10:37am Alex In Illinois:

@Blacktooth: Are you doing that thing were you have 2 pop-up players running playing so you are listening to 2 different shows at the same time?

10:38am Spaniel:

@Alex what ever happened to Palcohol?

🥁

10:38am duke:

You can buy Tang on Amazon. I couldn't find freeze dried vodka though.

🥁

10:40am βrian:

@Doug: whatever gets you to the moon and back!

🥁

10:42am listener james from westwood:

sounding great at the halfway mark! helping keep my blood pressure down while ratting out this author to his book editor for lifting bits from wikipedia uncredited! (credited is little better, but still.)

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

I said NOT Brazilian hippies, but this Eternity's Children number has a lovely samba lilt to it!

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, this is my "Tony Coulter set."

10:48am still b/p:

This is not my happiness day! Already stress-pressed by too much to take care of around here and not enough time, then Bill Parcells and my insurance company made me out-loud hostile this morning. Trying now to rub some settling umma into my gumma.

10:48am Alex In Illinois:

@Spaniel: According to their site: "We expect Palcohol to be available in the spring of 2015." It's made here in the USA and not in Russia

🥁

10:48am βrian:

@Editor James: Wow. I'm curious to know the author's approximate age.

10:48am Guido from Cologne:

Ummagumma:
- Most depreciated album by the group.
- Most influential album for generations of experimental/DIY-musicians to follow.

🥁

10:50am listener james from westwood:

βrian: No idea. But you're never too old to be lazy.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
I can't stress this enough: I wish you no stress.

🥁

10:52am βrian:

Will the editor require seppuku in atonement?

🥁

10:52am listener james from westwood:

@still b/p: Bill Parcells is worth no stress.

🥁

10:53am βrian:

That is, nó stress!

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Whatever one thinks of Bill Parcells his nickname "The Big Tuna" has got to bring some measure of joy into one's life.

🥁

10:54am listener james from westwood:

βrian: I will look down the entirety of my copy editor's nose on him while adding a query to suggest ways to "tighten and rewrite this section of text if it's not going to be set as a formal quote from the source you used."

🥁

10:57am βrian:

T-shirt: "Tighten Your Text"

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

BREAKING: Mitt Romney not running in 2016. Stand-up comedians all over the nation are in mourning.

10:59am Andrew Waterloo:

They may still run a robot in his place.

10:59am Shaun:

Wifty

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Andrew Waterloo
A different robot, you mean perhaps?!

🥁

10:59am βrian:

Mittens' next task: to pass through the eye of a needle.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
In my years as a book editor, I found the job to be about 75% therapist, 28% salesman, 3% editor.

11:02am Dean:

@βrian: I read somewhere that that's hard to do.

11:03am Dean:

@Doug: And maybe a half a percent or so mathematician?

🥁

11:03am listener james from westwood:

I'll believe Willard isn't running by some time in late January 2017.

11:04am Guido from Cologne:

Isn't that Davie Allan and the Arrows behind a moniker?

🥁

11:06am listener james from westwood:

By contrast, I'll vote for these Senators as many times as I can. Possibly in the same election. Better move to Florida....

... naaaaah.

11:06am ndbob:

Smart move on Mitt's part

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

@Guido
Davie Allen was behind the music performed as "Max Frost and the Troopers." Not sure if they were performing that track though.

🥁

11:07am bobdc:

The Paupers are right--I'll never be the same after hearing this song.

🥁

11:11am Brian in UK:

Doug, is that a given that Romney is not running or maybe a McGovern given Romney's givens are governed by jibberish jibber jabber.

11:13am Parq:

As far as Mitt goes, we still have Trump, Palin and Huckabee. What I want to know is, what's keeping Rick Santorum?

🥁

11:13am listener james from westwood:

The Alaskan person set a new high (low?) for gibberish at one of the recent Republican bund meetings when her teleprompter committed suicide.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
Too many hanging chads down there!

@bobdc
That percussion open on Magic People just slays me.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
Please don't mention Rick Santorum here. This is a family show.

🥁

11:14am listener james from westwood:

@Parq: Santorum's kept by a rotating circle of BDSM folks. He sleeps in a box most Wednesdays like the Gimp in "Pulp Fiction."

🥁

11:14am Brian in UK:

Doug, did you say that Plainsong were Canadian? Really.

There was a wonderful Ralph Steadman cartoon if memory serves called 'Penguins on Hearing the Death of Ameila Earhart'

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Owch, that hurts!

11:15am Guido from Cologne:

- Davie Allen made an album of cover versions from that soundtrack. I mixed this up.

Guess one can run an entire radio station with Les Baxter music alone.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Guido from Cologne
Les is more, more or less.

🥁

11:19am Brian in UK:

Thomas clone?

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

I find this sweeter than the more "edgy" Mapfumo.

The Dendera Kings were also known as... The Marxist Brothers.

🥁

11:24am βrian:

Mapfumo should cut down on the caffeine.

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

It is ironic that he used to sing for the Zanu party but now with that dictator in power he is as far as he can get (Oregon) from Zimbabwe.

11:27am Dean:

These guys are ripping off Santana!

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

The scary thing is that Mugabe's wife is taking a more dominant role in politics and shopping these days. She was his secretary.

11:27am Mike East:

@Dean - just heard that!

🥁

11:28am Brian in UK:

This is not Mike Shrieve drumming though.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I find Mapfumo's opposition to Mugabe to be straight in line with his political orientation from the beginning. It's just too fucking awful to comprehend that every rotten, disgusting thing that Rhodesians in power said about Mugabe came pretty much true.

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

Mike East is a beast! (Way better than Mikes North, South and especially West. He's just a jerk.)

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

Just to say it officially: This is my favorite track of the show.

So far.

11:36am Mike East:

Why thank you DJ Schulkind. Great set you have going here. May have to look into that "Living Is Hard" comp.

11:38am Mike East:

I need more West African music in my life. This is a feeling I've had for some time now.

🥁

11:40am βrian:

@Mike East: Aye, that.

🥁

11:40am βrian:

"Granite!" I heard it!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time is up next. Starts at noon (eastern). Playlist here: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:41am Brian in UK:

Anglophile or Francophile it does not matter. Better the guitar comes from Congo or Zimbabwe though.

11:45am Parq:

Preach, Pop.

11:47am Uncle Michael:

In the next room at the top of the hour; poetry in a foreign language:

www.wfmu.org...

11:48am Mr C:

Working on Staple Singers box set...some good finds so far.

11:49am Uncle Michael:

That low note is raising the hairs on the back of my cotton sack.

11:49am Lewis:

excellent! I have been listening to my just received Light in the Attic re-release of The Supreme Jubilees "It'll All Be Over" which is also excellent...

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

I think Rev. Henry was guilty.

🥁

11:50am listener james from westwood:

Killer Clarence Carter! I feel like it should go on a compilation or DJ premium of story songs along w/ "Ode to Billy Joe" and "Harper Valley PTA." And, of course, "Patches."

11:51am Guido from Cologne:

Is this Clarence Carter track what they call Country Funk?
It's a bit Tony Joe White'ish in a way ...

11:53am Uncle Michael:

Guido, a lot of southern soul is just funky by nature.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Well put, Guido. The Candi Staton was countryfunkish, too. I've been trying to ascertain the author of that song with no luck.

🥁

11:54am βrian:

I hear the siren call of chicken kebab with hummus.

11:54am Uncle Michael:

I was wondering if Candi was covering a country track.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room. Great show today, Doug.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Sam Dees has got his Curtis Mayfield on right here.

@βrian
Be careful, I hear the chicken kebab's song will turn a man to stone.

11:55am Guido from Cologne:

some southern soul as a certain Country tingle ... just considering my Joe Tex records ...

11:56am Stevel:

I hear the siren call of whatever the F leftovers I brought from home. Luckily, I cooked it, so its not bad.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
The next song on the comp, Candi is singing Dolly Parton's Jolene.

11:56am Guido from Cologne:

Loved the show.
Thank you and see you Doug!

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:57am duke:

Wonderful show as always

11:57am Guido from Cologne:

Candi Staton was on Stax, right?

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Candi's Jolene is fantastic.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

WHY MUST IT END?!?! (Because Uncle Michael is making me make it end. Blame him.)

See you soon, Guido. And everyone!

@Stevel
Leftovers? I'll be right over!

🥁

11:58am Brian in UK:

Joe McGasko has a good line in Country Funk Premiums.

Copacetic, Boss.

11:59am Pedro G.:

Shokishoki Shombolo was killer. Thanks.

11:59am Lewis:

great set! Until next Time...

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

PLEDGE

🥁

12:00pm listener james from westwood:
