9:08am Stanley:

My bad, he's hearing something. Happens to me often.

9:08am Uncle Michael:

Let's hope Uncle Michael stops hearing voices in three hours. He's got a show to do!

9:09am Maggie B.:

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Brian in UK just sent me a link. He said it made him think of me: www.independent.co.uk...

9:10am annie:

in my days long ago of religious reading of the NYTimes tech pages, i would see all the great new inventions coming.. decades later, lookie at the many ways we can listen to radio.!! i always said to myself: self, just wait a little while, it can only get better! and it sure has!

9:11am mauri:

12 leaf blowers and a screamin' frog

9:12am ndbob:

indeed Annie!

9:12am Parq:

*Another* reason why I stayed in the city.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings:

Ed Wood
Rich in Washington
Parq
Mr C
Maggie ("Mommie") B.

So nice to see you all!

9:12am Uncle Michael:

annie, I hope you didn't pay too much attention to David Pogue.

9:14am annie:

oh, i didn'd read the byline names, i just drooled at the pictures.
sad that technology has sped forward and print media is in shambles.

9:17am Stanley:

Re: Brian's leafblowers - I like the sound of the 'Ego Power Plus'.

9:17am annie:

and it's wonderful to be back in my home after almost 3 months of pet-sitting; various places all around asheville, i really loved it, though my vagabonding days are come to an end for now. some of my favorite places were way out in the hinterlands, atop mountains. sitting at my regular barstool now and making breakfast.. sweet!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Vagabonding is a terrific word, annie.

9:18am Webhamster Henry:

Hiya Doug! Any Autoharps coming up?

9:18am Hugo:

@Doug: Was listening to the Louvin Brothers the other day, courtesy of your good self. The Bear Family box set.

🥁

9:20am doctorjazz:

Great opening set! Hi all! Happy Friday!

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Oh how I wish, Webhamster Henry. Now you got me jonesing for some autoharp. I don't blame you.

@Hugo
Seems someone I know sent me a nice stash of Bear Family wonders once. Now who could that be?!

9:21am testingwithfire:

Good morning all. I'm new to the comments section on this show, enjoying the mighty fine pickin' and a-singin'.

9:22am Flash Strap:

HellOOOOO good morning

9:22am annie:

welcome TWF!! the sandbox has plenty of room!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, docjazz! So happy you have jumped in the pool, testingwithfire! Yo ho ho, Flash Strap!

🥁

9:24am Artie Haywire:

Glued to the bed with this lousy cold, my kind wife left the radio tuned softly to the Drummer and awoke to the familiar strains of ECD and Love Divine. Blessings. Good morning, all.

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Oops, I mean sandbox, not pool, testingwithfire! (How silly of me.)

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Take a gander at "Little" Jimmie: www.oocities.org...

9:26am Parq:

I gave up on the Good Grey's tech pages when they devolved totally into ""Look at the cool stuff you can buy!" Uncle Michael, outa curiosity, what's your beef with Pogue in particular?

9:27am Parq:

Doug, not the eventual Little Jimmie Dickens, I assume.

🥁

9:30am doctorjazz:

I've always had trouble with David Pogue's take on gear related to music (I'm a certified audiophile lunatic!). He basically was in the "it all sounds the same" camp. Entertaining read, though.

9:34am annie:

Parq, that Olde Grey Mare just ain't what she used to be.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Different Little Jimmie, ndbob! But you get extra credit anyway!

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Ogún and Ochún were lovers.

🥁

9:38am duke:

Hiya Drummer and Drummer fans

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Ogún: www.aboutsanteria.com...
Ochún: www.aboutsanteria.com...

Hi there duke!

9:43am listener james from westwood:

GTDS is making house cleaning a far less vile task today. Glad I'm not vacuuming so I don't miss a note!

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Given this set, I think that should be Vacúm, Listener James.

9:44am annie:

hehe, imagine how many carpets go unvacuumed...

9:45am ndbob:

That was Parq Doug:)

9:46am Hugo:

The name Ogun gives me good vibes ...

9:47am Flash Strap:

I played that Diablo Ochun last night! such a crazy record. This set is hot, Doug

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Ooops! Parq gets the extra credit. So sorry! (You can keep yours, ndbob. I'm sure you'll earn it be the end of the show.)

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Flash Strap inspires!

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
Indeed it does!

9:51am testingwithfire:

Does anyone know the scoop on Americans visiting Cuba now? Green light?

9:51am Flash Strap:

more like doug inspires flash inspires doug

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Explorers Some Drummer Room

9:53am Flash Strap:

This ochung is dynamite

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

For some, Marius Cultier was "The Godfather of Zouk."

9:58am Parq:

Testing, wary as I am of CNN, this is a pretty good summary.
www.cnn.com...

9:59am Jeff Golick:

Oh. Gonna enjoy this.

10:01am annie:

breakfast: the last of the asparagus from the freezer, sauteed in butter and nestled into a slice of pumpernickel, also turned twice in said butter....and bratwurst. heaven!... no biscuits, though

🥁

10:02am doctorjazz:

"O" man, great set! reading some of the links when I have a spare moment as well.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey hey, it's time for the Notorious LBG! Yes, Leaf Blower Guy is HERE!

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

And speaking of notorious, welcome aboard Jeff Golick!

10:03am annie:

i used to keep a notebook strictly for FMU music suggestions....it filled up fast.. all this music and so little time

10:03am Flash Strap:

That sounds like a great breakfast Annie. Really makes these mini-wheats I'm choking down sound like dirty rocks

10:04am Jeff Golick:

Just call me Notorious Jeff S. G. Thanks, Doug.

10:08am Flash Strap:

aw shucks

10:10am testingwithfire:

doing the swim over here

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

Hope you've got a buddy, testingwithfirst.

10:12am testingwithfire:

@Doug not even a lifejacket!

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

@testingwithfire
You rebel you!

10:16am Jesse K:

Just got a moment to say hi! HI! Yay Generation! My Generation LP is forever lost in the mail from Thailand.

🥁

10:18am duke:

@Jessie The Lost generation

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Hey JK! Do know the label/year for this track? (Asking for a friend.)

10:19am Hugo:

Thai funk???!

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Ladies and gents, meet Lorenze Bandini: en.wikipedia.org...

10:21am Jesse K:

Hey Doug, unfortunately no. Probably 70's is all I can say. I'm bad at identifying Thai labels, I always just ask Peter. They're sometimes depicted as symbols anyway like Hat and Rabbit.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

My new band name: Hat and Rabbit

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Here is Dusty Groove's description of this record:

"One of the wildest albums ever recorded by French tenorist Barney Wilen -- a mix of avant jazz and sound effects, set to wax in tribute to Lorenzo Bandini -- a famous Italian racer who died tragically during the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix! Wilen was an automobile enthusiast in the late 60s, and happened to be recording the race on a Nagra for himself -- but, after witnessing the death of Bandini, Wilen decided to incorporate his tape of the race into an extended performance dedicated to the late driver. The sound is quite unusual -- much farther out than any of Barney's other albums -- and the tapes of the race are joined with free-flowing tenor, and piano -- plus bits of organ and prepared piano as well -- all played by by Francois Tusques along with Wilen, with support from Beb Guerin on bass and Eddy Gaumont on drums. The real star, though, is Bandini's Ferrari, which races in and out of the jazz playing, coming to a mournful end with the termination of the piece. The album's a totally unique recording -- and stands as one of the most unusual moments in the history of Wilen's career, and the legendary MPS label."

10:25am Flash Strap:

I know Barney Wilen is pretty wild, but I'd never heard of this before! really interesting

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

The worst part of the review, in the last sentence: "...totally unique..."

People people people, you can't qualify "unique"!

10:29am testingwithfire:

What was Lorenzo Bandini's tragic destiny? I need to know.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

The drone and sax together sounds almost bagpipe-like here.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

@testingwithfire
en.wikipedia.org...

10:32am testingwithfire:

@Doug wow. Can you imagine a 100,000-person turnout for ANYONE's funeral these days?

10:33am Hugo:

I'm a huge fan of Francois Tusques who is on this record and who is still active today.

10:33am Jesse K:

pulled unconscious from a flaming ferrari is probably not how I'll die

10:34am Listener Gregory:

That Wilen cut sounds like the famous John Coltrane Quartet concert during the 1965 Daytona 500.

OK, maybe that never happened.

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

This Roy Porter number just blows me right the fuck away.

@testingwithfire
Over a million showed up for the funeral of the great Egyptian singer Oum Kaltsoum. The government kept her death a secret for several days until they could get security in place because they knew the country would riot out of despair.

10:35am ndbob:

@Doug I remember seeing that on the news - the first time I heard of her actually

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Coltrane played Watkins Glen that year.

10:37am Uncle Michael:

a nation that riots out of despair over the death of a singer is a nation with its head farther up its ass than my nation

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

Favorite spellings:
Umm Kulthum
Oum Kalthoum
Om Kalsoum
Om Koulsum
Om Kalthoum
Oumme Kalsoum
Umm Kolthoum
Om Koultoum
Ummi Kultsum
Ummi Kaltsum
Umi Kulsum
Umi Kalsum

10:41am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! yummy riots!

10:44am Uncle Michael:

The Monaco Gran Prix always sounds like music to me.

10:44am Webhamster Henry:

All this racing reminds me of WildGirl.

10:45am testingwithfire:

@Doug @ndbob there's a decent doc on Umm Kulthum available on Fandor and probably elsewhere.

10:46am MarieD:

Loved the motorized set.

10:47am Jesse K:

"Art is about doing things" sums it up pretty perfectly

10:47am Mr C:

Overbrook..man I love this!! and haven't heard it in years..made my day

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, MarieD!

@testingwithfire
I should know, but what is Fandor?

10:47am Listener Gregory:

You topped yourself with that racing set, Doug. If someone had bet me that you could find five such tracks, I would have taken that bet.

10:48am testingwithfire:

@Doug it's a streaming service specializing in out of of the way films, docs, shorts, etc. Excellent selection. I've had trouble with the streaming via Verizon here on the East Coast but you might have better luck.

10:52am Flash Strap:

gotta run buds, bye bye time for work

🥁

10:53am Brian in UK:

On the motoring theme. This is T E Lawrence describing a ride on his Brough Superior, he owned seven in a ten year period. A prince amongst motorcycles.
I pulled the throttle right open, on the top of the slope, and we swoop flying across the dip, and up-down up-down the switchback beyond: the weighty machine lauching itself like a projectile with a whirr of wheels into the air at the take-off of each rise, to land lurchingly with such a snatch of the driving chain as jerks my spine like a rictus. At this point he is racing a pilot in a Bristol Fighter along a very stright road in Lincolnshire.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Stick with me. I'll make you rich.

Ciao, Flash Strap! (No relation to the Cubs' relief pitcher Pedro Strop.)

10:54am testingwithfire:

@Brian in UK NO PRISONERS

🥁

10:54am Brian in UK:

Oh my manners, Good afternoon, Doug.

10:55am annie:

LOVE TE Lawrence's writing.. i've read them all.. and 7 Pillars three times

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Nice of you to BLOW in, Brian in UK!

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

This was after he came back from the Middle East and joined the RAF under an assumed name. He was kicked out upon discovery of who he was.

Annie this is from The Mint, an account of his life in the RAF.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for the info, testingwithfire!

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

@Jesse K
Art Pepper is about doing things.

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

Word of another school shooting, at Western High School in Louiville, Kentucky, turned out to be a hoax. Makes me think and worry about our own Kim Sorise who is a middle school teacher in Louisville. Fuck this shit.

11:07am annie:

Brian, i'll have to add him back to my list of books i should be reading again; i've just started getting back into readine for pleasure. just finishing "Seeing" by Jose Saramago.

11:08am Mr C:

Perfect set..

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

Melancholia for all of ya.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, coelacanth!

🥁

11:24am listener james from westwood:

Oh, poop, Adam Purple, the NYC guerrilla gardener, died a few days back. I only just learned about him earlier this year.

11:25am mauri:

damn I forgot I have a small trumpet. never learned to play it haha.

🥁

11:26am listener james from westwood:

This is the essay that introduced him to me. We need more folks who can turn ruins into jungles. narrative.ly...

11:29am coelacanth:

damn, james. i forgot about him. i remember hearing about him when i was a kid, and thinking what a cool guy with a cool idea.

...maybe his departing will spur more than one other to take up the strategy.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
Adam Purple was a top-rank subversive and a legend. That he died while riding his bicycle is almost cosmic. No, it is totally cosmic. (He was always seen on his bicycle toodling around the Lower East Side.)

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Please join me at the top of the hour...even though I'm a little grouchy today.

www.wfmu.org...

11:33am holland oats:

bob ohiri - one of very few afro funk originals i own #yayme

11:33am coelacanth:

thanks for that link james. i'll read that tonight.

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of funky originals, it's holland oats!

11:35am Matt:

It's hurting my brain how good this Bob Ohiri is.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Then I am breaking my hippocratic oath, Matt:

Disc Jockey, first do no harm.

🥁

11:38am listener james from westwood:

UM, music hath charms to soothe the savage grouch!

11:39am Uncle Michael:

I fucking hope so.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Love this Merseybeat cover of Rufus Thomas!

11:45am Stanley:

Listening the whole way through, making completing my partner's tax return (almost) enjoyable.
Thanks Doug

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

This makes up for hurting Matt's (comment, 11:35) head then?

11:49am Mr C:

What a cool song..I love it when someone gets a letter mid-song

🥁

11:50am listener james from westwood:

Better a letter than a telegram; those tend to be grim news in songs.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Mid-song, yes, but still too late.

11:52am Mr C:

It's always too late...heartache and heartbreak..dead ahead

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

With a cinderblock chained to the accelerator, Mr. C.

11:55am ndbob:

excellent show Doug:)

11:55am Bill Mac:

Hey, where the Lorna Doones at?!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

12:03pm Hugo:

All the tracks in the final set were recorded within a span of seven years, for the jazz set 14 years. All the trivial facts that are fit to comment ...

12:05pm Hugo:

Oops. make that 16 years. I've gotta change my glasses. Good weekend to ya, Doug.

12:06pm Doug Schulkind:

Not by conscious design, Hugo. I let my ears to the walking and the playlist does the talking.

12:45pm Santos L Halper:
