9:01am Jeff g.:

Next week's New Yorker cover by Bary Blitt: www.newyorker.com...

9:11am Mr C:

There'll be peace in the valley of love this morning....

🥁

9:11am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and sensation seekers everywhere.

Oh so I did not miss last weeks show. Well, I did miss it but it was not there.

9:11am Jeff g.:

@Gary: I am still as surprised as you. It sort of comes with the kids/camp package deal. Great article, btw!

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

And love in the valley of peace, Mr C!

@Brian in UK
WFMU's stupendous Kurt Gottschalk filled in for me last week: wfmu.org...

9:14am Gary:

Thanks, Jeff!

🥁

9:14am Brian in UK:

Over here satirical magazine Private Eye used to describe Richard Branson as a teenage megolomaniac. Wonder what description there would give Trump. Bad cases of the DTs?

🥁

9:16am Brian in UK:

Or Beefheart's Hair Pie Bake 3.

9:17am holland oats:

you rang?

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
No, Boomer rang. Get it? Boomerang! Hahahah!

9:19am Gary:

You know I got super-love for this Phuong Dung track

9:19am ndbob:

@Doug Kurt did a great job

9:19am Gary:

Addams girl isn't dancin' so well to it, tho

9:20am Michael:

Spy Magazine's description of Trump as a "short fingered vulgarian" still sounds correct to me. And Hi to Doug and everyone on this lovely Friday.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Don't I know it!

@ndbob
I plan to devour Kurt's archive this weekend!

Hello, long-fingered Michael!

9:22am Maggie B.:

It's Wednesday on Friday! Hello son, and drummers near and far.

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Mother Maggie B!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Maggie is the dear soul who adopted me (again) for 2015!

9:24am Webhamster Henry:

It's about 8:30 in southeast Asia, so this is Doug's evening slot.

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

It's always evening in my soul, Webhamster Henry!

9:26am Gary:

This also is rocking

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

The aroma of Gary hung heavy in the room as I constructed this opening set.

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

And that is some heavy aroma.

🥁

9:28am βrian:

If Maggie adopted you, she gets to choose your Anagram Power Name:

🥁

9:29am Brian in UK:

Dancing is getting closer Garyessence- san.

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Doesn't this music sound kind of Bach like? Good morning, βrian of the Isthmus!

9:35am listener james from westwood:

How many handfuls of kale should I put in this smoothie?
[ ] 1
[ ] 2
[ ] Turn it into a verdant vortex.

9:36am mauri:

sorta kinda bach likea

9:36am Gary:

Doug, where'd you get this Myint Maung? It's so so so so beautiful

9:36am mauri:

vortex gets my vote! I just watered mine.

9:37am Uncle Michael:

Good morning all, and welcome back to Friday Doug.

9:37am Gary:

@James: All of the kale

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

We had homemade kale chips with dinner last night! It's a movement!

Welcome back to you, Uncle Michael!

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Jeez, I don't remember.

9:39am Gary:

Maybe here: www.asianclassicalmp3.org...

9:44am ndbob:

I will be back in a while - off to pick up some meds

🥁

9:45am listener james from westwood:

Just opened the web page (vs. the iOS app) and am thrilled to see one of my very favorite GIFs!

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

See you later, ndbobgator!

@Gary
Very possibly likely.

9:46am Jeff g.:

Me, too, @ljfw!

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW&JeffG
Always a fave. Been waiting for just the right time to use it.

9:51am still b/p:

So yesterday while I was driving, an old song with a similar but slightly slower beat to "Train Whistle Nightmare" came on, and as the lyrics started to grab my attention, it was a "Whoa, wait, what now...?" moment. A number ostensibly patriotic in its day was a bit unexpected in its "graveyard" bluntness and its casual uncommented airing. A whooooole different Smoke On The Water:
lyricsplayground.com...

9:54am Uncle Michael:

A doohickey!

🥁

9:58am listener james from westwood:

The dance Lurch launches into? Still better than I can muster.

9:59am Uncle Michael:

I'm on the next thing smokin'.

10:03am Uncle Michael:

I had an HO gauge train set.

🥁

10:04am listener james from westwood:

If I weren't an English speaker, I still would've known that was a train-themed set. That's some good orchestration!

10:07am Gary:

The Bez!

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
I was well trained.

10:10am βrian:

Reminds me of The Great Lurch Forward.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

This is not my first Addams-family related GIF. Anyone remember the other one?

10:11am Holly in NC:

Good morning, all!
Hi Doug!
Hi all fellow listeners!
Members of the GTDS stream, thank you ever so much for your LOVELY card, you made me bawl (in a good way).

And Happy Friday! Glad I can listen in real time today.

10:11am northguineahills:

Realized this morning that Marty McSorley is on Friday mornings. WFMU making me make hard decisions since 2010(?)

10:12am ndbob:

and back - wanted to get out before it got super hot being the AC in my Blazer doesn't work

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Hahaha, another train!

10:12am Alex In Illinois:

I had some Lionel 027 gauge trains whose tack I could reconfigure, and an HO gauge layout. Later my Uncle repossessed the Lionel ones, since most of it was really his, and I sold my HO gauge to a kid down the street. Trains are very musical machines. Maybe trains and steamboats greatly influenced the development of Jazz music, and automobiles had the greater effect on Rock & Roll.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Holly oh! We love you oh!

10:13am northguineahills:

Realized this morning that Marty McSorley is on Friday mornings. WFMU making me make hard decisions since 2010(?)

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Alex in Illinois!

10:14am northguineahills:

I still can't believe this Aby Ngana Diop is from 1994!!???

🥁

10:14am βrian:

@ndbob: Well, why do you think they call it a Blazer.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Be a believer, northguineahills!

10:16am Andrew Waterloo:

Wow, this Aby Ngana Diop is crazy..

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Hello up there, still b/p!

10:17am still b/p:

Gooooood morning.

Already starred this last year. I surely woulda right now if I hadn't before. Wednesday's dance is right there for this one.

🥁

10:18am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Did it feature Thing and a record player?

10:18am ndbob:

@brian ha!

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Listener James from Westwood wins todays Kewpie® Doll! wfmu.org...

10:20am Gary:

Yay Holly!!!!!!!!

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

I'm crazy glad that you showed up, Andrew Waterloo!

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

That great Janet Osei record was shared over at the brilliant ElectricJive blog: electricjive.blogspot.com...

🥁

10:23am listener james from westwood:

w00t! The gray matter, she still works!

10:23am Gary:

ElectricJive = awesomeness

10:23am Jeff g.:

The in-crowd sez it's cool...

10:24am Listener Gregory:

Wow, Kris Kristofferson should take elocution lessons from Angela!

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Now with less slurring, Listener Gregory!

10:26am Alex In Illinois:

I remember in the Addams Family episode shown in the gif, that Lurch actually joins in and starts dancing too. Many of us tried to dance like Wednesday but ended up dancing like Lurch.

10:26am still b/p:

A friend told me about musical acquaintance who tired of too- frequent requests for Bobby McGee, so they'd do it reggae fashion or with some such adjustment. This is a nice take they could try.

10:26am Uncle Michael:

Bobey M'Gee?

10:27am Jeff g.:

I'm enjoying imagining that she's singing of her Bubbe McGhee.

🥁

10:27am Brian in UK:

Doug, I believe that Toko by Momo Wandel Soumah is also on this soundtrack. A stunning piece of music.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

I will check it out, Brian in UK!

@Jeff G
That song was sung in the famous "matzoh ball soup" scene in the Last King of Scotland. (Idi Amin adored his matzoh ball soup.)

10:31am Listener Gregory:

Cannot really enjoy Christy Essien when she sings "Takin' life easy." Put back the g, Christy, the way Angela would have.

10:31am northguineahills:

Ok, about to enjoy the great outdoors. Thanks Doug!

10:33am northguineahills:

The movie was much better then I anticipated, but when you have a colorful historical hero larger then life, it's hard to eff the story up.

10:33am Andrew Waterloo:

The first line of the Allmusic review for the Last Kind of Scotland soundtrack is "Idi Amin will never be remembered as a fantastic humanitarian."

10:35am northguineahills:

hero=figure. My brain is still not working well this morning.

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

Take that brain outdoors, northguineahills!

🥁

10:37am Brian in UK:

Doug, found it, you might want to listen later.
www.youtube.com...

10:38am Listener Gregory:

Funny coincidence: After Lee Morgan put out "The Sidewinder," he recorded an album called "Leaf-Blower Guy," but it wasn't released, and the tapes were lost. Now we'll never know.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
One can only imagine what remains in the Blue Note vaults.

@Brian in UK
Thanks! Will view it immediately following the show.

🥁

10:42am βrian:

That's me on drums, I imagine.

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

George Freeman, he of the exalted Chicago Freemans (brothers Von and Bruz Freeman and nephew Chico Freeman).

10:51am Jeff Golick:

So that's who took all of the As.

🥁

10:53am Brian in UK:

A good friend of mine is retiring today. Seems like only yesterday we was bright eyed and bushy tailed, listening to new music, gazing at women and guzzling beer.
Well nothing new then. I loves it. Thanks Doug for keeping the flag flying.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

It would be funny if Ab Baars became a famous baseball player with a candy bar named after him. Like, really funny.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Gazing and guzzling. Not a bad life.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

The incendiary Joseph Déjean on guitar here.

10:55am Mike East:

Its the new moon, not the full moon. That's still a couple weeks away...and it will be blue.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

The moon rises in the Mike East!

🥁

10:57am listener james from westwood:

This "King Kong" is much more beauty than beast.

10:58am Flash Strap:

hello!

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

A Fay Wray a day keeps the big ape away. NOT!

Hello Flash Strap, you earhole spelunker you!

🥁

11:00am Brian in UK:

Off to see this interesting combination tonight. It is Sly that I really want to see and hear.
www.barbican.org.uk...

11:01am Flash Strap:

i am also a real spelunker if you can believe that. This track is awesome.

11:01am Lore:

Always a pleasure to hear the great Sonny Simmons, thanks.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Lore, yes!

11:03am Mike East:

@Brian - looks cool, enjoy!

11:03am βrian:

I heard the BBC talking about you, Lore. Lore & Order, to be exact.

11:09am Gary:

Yay new show!

🥁

11:10am duke:

Cool. GTDR goes international. Looking forward to it. Soon to go interplanetary.

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Funny you should say that. We have GTDR representatives working a deal on Pluto as we speak.

11:12am Uncle Michael:

I just replaced a bridge rectifier...and you know how painful that can be.

11:13am still b/p:

Is The Rectifier a Marvel hero or a villain?

11:13am βrian:

"Electricity comes from other planets."

🥁

11:14am Brian in UK:

@Doug, The Marvin Gaye Hour.

11:15am ndbob:

wow quite a cover here

🥁

11:15am Brian in UK:

The late Keith Hudson is boss man.

11:17am coelacanth:

greetings Doug and Drummers (& other Lovers)

11:17am Uncle Michael:

What's Peter's new show called, once more Doug?

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

"Oh No, Not My Baby," a Goffin and King joint!

Yow, coelacanth!

11:21am ndbob:

yep - and Maxine Brown's best song Doug

11:22am MarieD:

Hey Doug, great show, as per usual. I find it perfect for my Friday mornings. Is that a picture of you in your "profile"? Pseu Braun did a show highlighting men in caftans this week, it was great.

🥁

11:22am listener james from westwood:

UM & all: I believe this is our incoming DJ, yes? emfmab.blogspot.com

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

That's me, MarieD. In dashiki and maracas!

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

THAT'S HIM, Listener James!!!

🥁

11:24am Brian in UK:

The Viceroys has Gregory Isaacs all over it. Nice.

11:27am coelacanth:

Doug,you reading my mind?

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

Mr Schulkind (as he strokes white cat) your plan for global domination is taking shape in perfect disc like format.

11:28am Mark Williams:

An original copy of this "Words" 12" recently sold for over $3K on Ebay. I wish I was kidding.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

$3,650 to be exact, Mark Williams!

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

And I am nothing if not exact.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Just call me Dr Yes.

11:31am coelacanth:

someone lent me a mix tape in the early '80s,made for her,which i made a copy of & still have. words of my mouth is on it & a toasting version follows.
...i've aquired every version i could find and still did not end up with that particular- especially awesome one...
AND THIS IS IT!!

11:32am Mark Williams:

oh, new Lee Perry documentary is coming. Can't believe how spry he still is. Obviously did a deal with the devil many times over.

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Talking of doctors what is the name of the song where the man sings 'She can't stand the sight of me needle''

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

@Mark Williams
What do you know about McWoner. He's a bit of a mystery.

@coelacanth
Email me and I will send you the track!

11:33am MarieD:

Cool that! I dig the dashiki! I had a slightly humiliating dashiki-related experience once and vowed I would never wear one again.

11:33am Mark Williams:

@coelacanth - this version here combines two different versions onto one 12". The latter half of this is the first half of a Lee Perry 12" called "Lion A De Winner."

11:34am coelacanth:

Doug you're the Bomb!

11:34am Parq:

Just saying hi. Enjoying a morning off. Not much to add to the existing dialogue.

11:35am Mark Williams:

@Doug - not much is known of McWorner, though the Digikiller crew say his name was literally Mac Worner. Recorded a handful of tunes at Channel One studio in the early '80s.

11:36am Uncle Michael:

If your day needs more live radio after Doug's fine program, I can give you a hand.

www.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:37am βrian:

Ah, Topeka is back on line, eh?

11:38am Uncle Michael:

Indeed.

11:38am coelacanth:

Mark Thanks! i tried,a few years ago, searching for "lion a de winner" and came up with various versions very similar to the one on that 12", but never came up with that exact one.

11:42am Mr C:

Hard to find..Impressed

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

I'm not that cool, Mr C. I'm a compilations hog.

11:43am coelacanth:

...although i did find it on youtube,mixed into a piece by "dj algoriddim" (or something like that)
- he does a fine job with his mix, but that track is obscured at both ends and the artist (though i figured it was Scratch) was not clear.
...+ of course, youtube sound quality is bleagh.

11:43am Uncle Michael:

Yeah, a crate-dug 45 is hard to find, I'm sure!

11:43am Mr C:

Is it a Henry Stone?

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Yes Sir it is.

11:45am Uncle Michael:

I know it's on a couple of comps I have. The Northern Soul of Miami and For Northern Soul Collectors Vol. 1.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Wednesday liked dancing to that Puzzles number.

11:46am Hugo:

Calling in from Dar es Salaam!

11:46am coelacanth:

11:46am still b/p:

Where's Pugsley pullin' some Puzzles moves?

🥁

11:48am βrian:

I imagine Cousin It is fun to watch shimmy.

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

Hey Hugo, so you are Zanzibar bound. Any good sounds?

11:50am still b/p:

Fester Frug!

11:50am Uncle Michael:

I'm in fine techno-fettle.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Hugo in Tanzania!

🥁

11:52am Artie Haywire:

OK, now the dancing starts.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Arty Artie!

🥁

11:53am bobdc:

Hearing that soul music makes me think "almost noon already!"

11:54am Hugo:

Zanzibar was last week. Yeah, heard some great congolese while having dinner yesterday. Lookin for good sounds, haven't found much. there's still tomorrow.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, bobdc!

🥁

11:55am Artie Haywire:

Got my Knick Knack in a twist, and I like it.

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:
