WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 11/27/15

Listener comments!

9:00am Uncle Michael:

I have a sudden urge to join the Camp Fire Girls.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Me, I'm joining the Brownies. Mmmmmm, brownies.

9:02am Mr C:

White lines won't do it, but Give the Drummer Some will!

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Good earliest morning to you, Mr C!

9:04am mauri:

goody daydy! girls!

9:06am Webhamster Henry:

Ethel "Tico"ing on the keez!

9:06am Mr C:

They call it stormy Monday, but Black Friday's just the same...

9:06am Uncle Michael:

Someone give Doug water...and a little pity.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

mauri's in the howwwwwse!

Webhamster Henry knows the deal!

Uncle Michael, I'd settle for a pita with hummus, actually.

9:13am Uncle Michael:

Dang...I thought we were gonna do dueling Hunchback quotes.

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

There's still time, Uncle Michael. Let me adjust my hump...

9:21am Webhamster Henry:

Nice Black Friday Music here! BTW, my band has a show tonight, considerably less raucous.

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

What instrument do you play, WH? Let me guess... Steam-powered ukulele, amirite?!

9:25am Uncle Michael:

Ooooh....Galactic is coming to Lawrence, KS with Trombone Shorty and his band.

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

I'm holding out for Steam-Powered Ukulele Shorty. And his band.

9:28am Uncle Michael:

I saw a Stroh violin played recently. That's practically a steam-powered ukulele.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

As long as it wasn't Stroh's powered: www.detdist.com...

9:31am hyde:

happy holidays, drummer some-ers

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Hihyde!

9:33am Uncle Michael:

Stroh violin:

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

This LP cover is featured on this amusing thread. Looky here: www.organissimo.org...

9:41am Uncle Michael:

That's one badass haricot, alright.

9:41am Webhamster Henry:

Strohs are built for cylinder recording. My band: www.mamalamaband.com , I'm on hammered dulcimer, melodica, tenor recorder and glockenspiel. So, your basic line up for a harp and string section-based ensemble.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

The inventor had been binging on Stroh's, then, eh Uncle Michael?

🥁

9:45am duke:

This is my favorite John Prine song except for all of the others

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Exactly.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

The vocalist here is Ellen Christi. Meet Ellen, up close and personal: www.ellenchristi.com

9:51am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the link, Henry.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

This song is named not for Dewey Redman, but for Miles Dewey Davis.

9:52am mauri:

what words are these?

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

She is speakin jazzlish.

9:57am mauri:

sounds like babytalk

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Babblish.

10:00am mauri:

google babblefish

10:06am hyde:

this song is spectacular

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

Gibberish!

10:09am Webhamster Henry:

Here's Marlene's Mean To Me: www.youtube.com...

🥁

10:10am βrian:

Criminy, I had to google you to get here, Doug. The new web site is a quagmire.

Well, here anyway.

🥁

10:10am Brian in UK:

Howdeedoodee Doug and buckeroos of whatever gender.

I am from the land of the jibber. Speak it fluently.

Trust you folks are suitably stuffed after yesterdays imbibing.

10:10am Alex In Illinois:

I Finally made it. I just got in from walking the dog. The new web page has an interesting design, but I encountered issues getting it to make the WFMU Pop-Up player play GTDS. It is a good thing that we can still navigate to the old one. The design and functionality of the old one is still far superior to that of any other web pages of any other radio stations.

🥁

10:12am Brian in UK:

You can hire a twelve year old at the door to guide you to your seats through the new site, no fees.

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, βrian, Brian in UK and Alex in Illinois. APOLOGIES for the wonky new website. Many kinks and bugs being squashed behind the scenes. Fingers crossed the problems get worked out soon.

10:13am Erella:

Doug, you should get a pedometer just to see how far you walk. It would be fun.

10:13am Gary:

Good morning!

10:14am Erella:

I hate the new website. It is so slow to load and I find it difficult to find what I am looking for (recent archives page).

10:15am Dean:

Goddammit. I'm on the road, sitting in a Starbucks for the wireless. They're piping Frank Sinatra xmas tunes over the PA, and I have to listen to them while eyeing the playlist here.

🥁

10:15am Brian in UK:

@Erella I got one of those for my previous job as a theatre porter, after recording eight plus miles a day, I discarded it as too depressing. I felt knackered enough without knowing the details.

🥁

10:16am βrian:

In the very first phase of testing, the site should be vetted for functionality with the browser's javascript disabled. Javascript enhancements are fine, but should never required for basic accessibility and functionality.

Ok, done.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

On the new front page at wfmu.org. you must first click on GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO and then the "now playing" info pops up, with a link to the playlist and live link.

Hey there, Erella! Some of my colleagues have Fitbits to measure their walking distance. One fellow, who walks not quite as far/long as I do walked eight miles the other day.

G A R Y ! !

Howdy, Dean. I play some Sinatra, too, so you won't miss anything.

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

@Erella go to Programming dropdown and WFMU Mobile you will find a familiar page.

🥁

10:19am Brian in UK:

This guy is playing at eight miles a minute.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

This album is credited to The Charles Moffett Family. Here is your lineup:

Charnett Moffett ~ bass, trumpet
Mondre Moffett ~ flugelhorn, cornet
Charles Moffett ~ percussion
Codaryl Moffett ~ percussion
Charles Moffett Jr. ~ saxophone

That's a lotta Moffetts.

10:20am Erella:

Yikes!

10:21am Dean:

Jim Henson produce it?

10:21am Erella:

It takes clicks and pull down menus and before it was one click. I found it but it is much more imbedded and confusing now.

10:22am Mr C:

Was this a US release.? Don't remember ever seeing or hearing of it

10:23am Dean:

Now Sinatra is pitching Christmas Seals. Weird.

10:23am hyde:

holy heck, that is a drum solo

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
It was self-released by Mr. Moffett: www.discogs.com...

🥁

10:24am Brian in UK:

You need to come to the Managing Change Module of the WFMU programme. Seminars held weakly.

🥁

10:28am βrian:

It's a good day for a blue umbrella. Sorry I missed John there.

10:29am annie:

well, i finally made it. had to locate myself to a pet-sitting job. 25 fish, 3 cats, and two bearded dragons.. hi erella!, doug, brian, et al!

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Just don't sit ON the fish, annie!

10:31am Mr C:

I'm just a prisoner of the Drummer...

10:33am Gary:

Actually, she was still Geeta Roy in 1949

10:33am annie:

i just avoid sitting on the dragons, the fish do not sit still..

10:34am Gary:

Geeta didn't marry Guru Dutt until 1953, so the metadata was technically correct!

🥁

10:35am Brian in UK:

Hello annie, mention of dragons always gets my wife's attention.

🥁

10:36am βrian:

It's true there should be a compelling need for an "upgrade." Alack, technology is slavishly fashion-forward.

10:37am annie:

these are the lizards known as Bearded Dragons. they scare the bejesus out of me, though i know they are known to be friendly ... i've seen photos of the family members hugging them.. eeww.. and they are definitely pets..

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Gary Sullivan's BODEGA POP LIVE from this past Wednesday on the Drummer Stream was a towering achievement in radio. And a great listen: wfmu.org...

🥁

10:38am βrian:

(…synecdochically speaking.)

10:38am Webhamster Henry:

The old front page is from about 2007, but it was not really much different from the 1997 :

web.archive.org...

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

You say 2007, I say 1997, let's call the whole thing off!

10:42am Erella:

Hi Annie! Good to see you here!

🥁

10:42am βrian:

"Bearded dragon?" That's got to be a bawdy reference to something.

10:43am annie:

hi erella!!

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

When you say Donald Trump to mean all Americans, you are a synecdouche.

10:43am Alex In Illinois:

Ditto on what Brian posted about testing with JavaScript disabled. The old web page did set some standards pretty high though. I don't know if it actually had any issues whenever it was first rolled out, but it has been working well for such a long time. I have posted links to it as a positive example of what a good web site looks like and how a good web site works. I would guess others have too.

10:46am annie:

every time i come to this gig, the remotes for the teevee system get more and more complicated.. now a message comes up telling me some device will now shut off... then t shuts the system down.. "my favorite Wife" is on, good thing i know it by heart.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Don't think you are going to record a song titled "Crossroads of Tomorrow" and have it not played on the air by me.

10:50am Alex In Illinois:

I read that in Brazil, people leave offerings to deities at the crossroads.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Deities at the Crossroads. Sounds like a master's thesis. Needs a subtitle.

🥁

10:53am βrian:

In Wisconsin, they call that roadkill.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Happy Thanksgiving Dance: media.giphy.com...

🥁

10:55am βrian:

Spatchcock happening.

10:58am sinner:

sinner's crossroads (ahem)

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Sinner = deity !

11:01am ndbob:

Hi Annie! (half an hour late)

🥁

11:01am βrian:

"Dieties at the crossroads: Sacred contexts of roadkill"

11:01am annie:

hey ndbob!!!

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
You're going right to tenure with that!

11:09am Gary:

Yay San Ul Lim!

🥁

11:10am βrian:

I'll be sure to include the squirrels in my acknowledgments.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Pretty fucking amazing record cover art for this one: static1.squarespace.com...

11:20am Gary:

Nice

11:23am Mr C:

This was a hit in Toledo if I remember..

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

I've been to Toledo. Drove there in a lime-green Lincoln Continental to go to a bar called Dusty's. True story.

11:28am Uncle Michael:

Who likes leftovers? Serving 'em up at the top of the hour...

www.wfmu.org...

There's pie.

11:34am mauri:

whats left of the pie is more pie!

11:36am Uncle Michael:

I love pie like a young man pursuing an elementary education loves his pie.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Pie squared!

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Here is some pie Uncle Michael had enough of: www.thecubdom.com...

11:40am Uncle Michael:

He had such promise.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

You can't spell promise without pie. Otherwise, it would just be roms.

🥁

11:42am βrian:

Afoot is a pie.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
If you don't do ANYTHING but just sit there, Uncle Michael's terrific radio show will come on next here on the Drummer Stream. OK, you can tap your toes and dance a jig and it will still come on. Playlist here: wfmu.org...

11:43am Uncle Michael:

Not even a jig can prevent it.

🥁

11:44am βrian:

(En espagnol, claro.)

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
lh3.googleusercontent.com...

11:45am Gary:

There's no pie in happiness. Oh, wait, no -- there is, actually

11:45am Uncle Michael:

The game is afoot. The door is ajar.

11:46am Mr C:

Is there a MG theme here?

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Saxual healing?

11:47am Mr C:

Trouble Man?

11:48am Uncle Michael:

Doug, is that Ethel Smith on the organ?

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Yup. Playing "Tico Tico."

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Last spun on FMU by...me.

🥁

11:51am βrian:

Don't drop your H when you seek happiness.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Horn your own toot, Uncle Michael!

11:52am Mr C:

You're changing the ending format...tied to new homepage perhaps?

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Is that a Last Tango in Paris reference?

Marlon: "That's you happiness and my ha-penis."

11:53am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:55am βrian:

"May the road rise to meet you, and happiness rise to greet you."

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

No new (or old) ending format. And not tied to anything. Just decided to mix it all up in today's show. I've been closing the show with a "soul set" for a while and will return to it. Just a bunch of hairpin turns today. For fun.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the morning music Doug. Great music to eat German pancakes and listen to sleet to...

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

I wish Roxy Gordon were here to write a poem about the Washington Fucking Redskins.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Because listening to German pancakes can get sloppy.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

There's a lovely new proposed Chicago Blackhawks logo designed by a First Nations artist.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Happy Thanksgiving I Love You All Madly Happily.

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

Oh Roxy.

11:59am Gary:

Thanks for the thrills, Mr. Doug!

🥁

12:00pm duke:

Perfect post Thanksgiving show

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Well that was just wonderfully fun. I couldn't shouldn't WOULDN'T do it without you.

12:02pm Mike East:

I dig the new homepage, but I think when there is a LIVE GTD program, it should be noted somewhere like on the old page...I don't alway think to check the program schedule and people should know there's a separate live thing happnin'...especially new comers.

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:
