9:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Goyim in the AM
Everyone finds the new redesign of the WFMU homepage confusing. Glad you found me!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
I will be playing something by a McEwen in the last set...

9:13am glenn:

hello, and welcome to this friday's edition of "the usual crap".

9:14am Mr C:

say wha!

9:14am Uncle Michael:

I shoot for the unusual crap.

9:15am Goyim in the AM:

@doug No worries -- I got my i'net radios, so even when I'm not HERE, I'm here.

🥁

9:15am listener james from westwood:

Happy birthday, ndbob! Hope you're making a three- or even four-day weekend of it!

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Goyim
You existential badboy you!

9:20am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! fakirs & shakers!

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

ho ho H.O.!

9:23am annie:

i just lost the stream.. ? just me?

9:23am Mr C:

Keyboard player has Dave Baby Cortez influence Go Aay Jays!

9:25am Jesse K:

I still have the stream and I'm loving this set!

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Anyone else lose contact? Things look solid on my end.

9:26am annie:

almost literally hundreds of robins have descended on the front yard!!!! the crows are trying to chase them away.. just...wow. must be a migration day for them.

9:26am annie:

i got it back, doug.. thanks

9:26am Jeff Golick:

Still knee-deep in Pradeep here, Doug.

9:28am earrie:

Earful hellos, here. Happy 016!

9:28am glenn:

my money's on the crows, the devious bastards.

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Hi earrie! Ho glenn!

🥁

9:32am listener james from westwood:

Stream seems solid here.

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Must've been them wylde robins in annieville.

9:33am annie:

robins are fearless, it was an interesting confrontation. the robins have swooped off. on their way south, i guess. the crows are now able to harass undisturbed.

and the stream thing: it was my laptop's wifi going wonky.. must have been that robin energy

9:34am Gary:

Loved the Nahid Aktar track

9:35am Jeff Golick:

It's a murder of crows, right?

🥁

9:38am doctorjazz:

Going to see Laura Cantrell in WFMU-land tomorrow night, excited (though a bit apprehensive, bringing the family, the nothing-but-punk-rock teen daughter will make faces most of the show, I'm sure)

9:39am earrie:

And a cauldron of raptors. A charm of finches.

Etc. c.f. > http://www.birdnature.com/groupnames.html

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

I took my 15-year-old daughter to see Laura last fall here in Pittsburgh. She liked it! There's hope, doctorjazz.

9:41am Jeff Golick:

(Thanks for the link, @earrie!)

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

An audience of enraptors?

9:41am Jeff Golick:

((The larks have it, though.))

🥁

9:42am listener james from westwood:

I so wish I could get down to WFMU's shows more often. Laura's performance at the 2014(?) record fair was a treat. Hoping 2016 sees me down there as a volunteer and guest more than in the recent past.

9:43am earrie:

And so say the glad magpies.

9:43am Stanley:

Sorry I'm late. Are there any seats left?

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

We've thrones upon thrones, Lord Stanley!

9:45am Lore:

This Daddy Grace track is one of my very favorites. Thanks for playing it & uplifting my morning.

9:45am ndbob:

scrolling back... @UM ty ! - as I lay on the couch staring at the ceiling and listening - fits well with this great set!

9:46am annie:

laura came to asheville.. i had no way of going.. i was very sad.. i hate living out here, really have to relocate back to west asheville..

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

I should have warned y'all to tie yourselves down lest you elevate involuntarily. Or not! Good morning, Lore!

🥁

9:47am doctorjazz:

@LJFW,, saw that performance at the record fair as well. Hoping the long teen face doesn't become overwhelming...She loves all kinds of music, as long as they're Green Day or All Time Low (like them too, but need more variety in my diet.)

9:50am Jeff Golick:

@ndbob: I see you share your day of birth with Don Van Vliet! Nice company...

9:50am glenn:

ev'ry bird is cutting the airy way this morning. [earrie way?]

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Someone is squeezing a goose back in there!

9:52am Stanley:

Amazing that Grace

9:52am ndbob:

@Jeff Yes indeed - and also with MLK - and uhm also with Charo

9:57am redkayak:

Top of the morning, all :)

9:57am glenn:

the un married, probably gay, jewish, socialist, rabble rousing jesus christ? that guy?

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of MLK, pretty big fuck-up by the Air Force here: talkingpointsmemo.com...

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

I'll keep paddling, redkayak. You relax and enjoy the scenery.

9:59am ndbob:

@Doug sheesh

10:01am redkayak:

@Doug Full speed ahead!

10:03am annie:

that MLK goof reminded me of when "Selma" came out the day weekend that "American Sniper" came out.. and far more attended the latter as you can well guess.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

I'm thinking of burning a copy of this Jack Wilcox Sowards record and making it a marathon prize.

🥁

10:11am listener james from westwood:

Kathy & Carol!!

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Kath & Carol always make me think of the yodeling De Zurich sisters from the '30s and '40s.

10:13am Stanley:

Marathon? Any idea when it is Doug? I'd love to see at least half a dozen GTDS premiums, each in a different 'genre'. Oh, and a T-shirt.

10:14am Webhamster Henry:

Now I need the McGarrigles and Roches!

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Me too, Webhamster Henry. How do I slip a note to the deejay?

@Stanley
Marathon begins 6 March, I believe.

🥁

10:19am listener james from westwood:

@Doug, I think I know the pair you're talking about, and good call if so.

10:22am Mike East:

@DS - would love to hear more of that Sowards record. The live sound of the recording was great!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

The lead singer with Heaven & Earth is a dead-ringer for Becky Stark of Lavender Diamond. (The other way 'round, of course.)

10:23am El Thatchmo:

Thatchmo in the hizzie!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Yahoo, Mike East!

El Thatchamatazz!

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

I want to crawl into a fetal position inside this piano here.

10:24am El Thatchmo:

Oh Snap!
My toe's a tappin'!

10:25am coelacanth:

greetings Doug and others

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Jazz toes, Thatch, jazz toes.

Greetings, coelacanth!

10:26am Shaun:

'Karen Beth not Dalton, Shaun.'. Whup, Doug.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Karen Dalton would slip so easily into this mix for sure, Shaun.

🥁

10:32am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: YES! I was across the room when the H&E started and did a double-take.

10:32am ndbob:

Tho nothing wrong with skeet shooting per se - but linking it to MLK - wtf?

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
I think it was inadvertantly linked to the MLK "holiday." But still...

If anyone out there knows Taylor Swift, please suggest that she add finger cymbals to a tune here or there. It would help.

10:34am redkayak:

This is awesome....

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

And here comes more awesome...

10:44am Webhamster Henry:

The GTDS Tribute show: 2 hours of living-artist-of-the week!

10:44am Jeff Golick:

Ah! Great idea, Doug.

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Here's a little memorial tribute in words I wrote upon the death of Lester Bowie: wfmu.org...

10:45am annie:

so, i have an opportunity to see mac arnold tonight in greenville at plate full of blues..

10:46am Webhamster Henry:

The good old WKCR show Musical Theatre Today used to do tribute sets to obscure musical comedy/film performers who were still living - sometimes interview them too! That show was great and a little obsessive!

10:46am earrie:

Tributes are so entwined with death that to tribute a living person would lead to questions about an imminent death. Would naming it 'living tribute' change that? Maybe.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

You should have the blueplate special, annie.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

I broadcast a Max Roach special out of love a few months before he died. I was so grateful that it happened in that order.

10:48am Mr C:

@Annie...Do you know of Marcus King Band?

10:49am earrie:

And would it lead the person to stop working/trying/endeavouring to do new, better or great? 'Feh, I can't top my tributed works. I'm past my prime.' Etc.?

🥁

10:49am doctorjazz:

Lester Bowie, great to hear him (really distinctive sound, heard a few notes before I checked and knew..)

10:50am annie:

they really have that, doug? the website is hard to navigate..my friend who just moved there has a birthday thing...and, no, MrC... do tell...

10:53am Mr C:

Greenville. S.C.?

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

@earrie
Any artist worthy of such a living tribute would, I'm willing to bet, be immune from that kind of external gratification/corruption. They would make the art they have to make, regardless. Of course, I am an eternal optimist.

🥁

10:54am listener james from westwood:

@earrie: It has not been unheard of for FMU DJs to have to say, either on air or in their chats based on the response there, that the person whose music they've just given a mini-tribute to is not actually dead.

🥁

10:56am Brian in UK:

@annie, know this is a bit late but I thought that robins were solitary birds.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Wagon puller: "Bring out yer dead. Bring out yer dead."

Wagon contents: "I'm not dead, yet!"

🥁

10:59am Brian in UK:

Typo

@Stanley so what kind of jewellery will you be making necklaces and bracelets to be judged?

11:01am earrie:

Heh.

Interesting to consider.

Timing + numbers + media as-is/as-was will make death daily media fodder soon enough, I'd giess.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Thanks. I almost died of embarrassment.

🥁

11:02am Brian in UK:

The Tribble Suite.

🥁

11:03am βrian:

With cousin IT!

🥁

11:05am Brian in UK:

I misread the title as the doughnut door.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

I'm thinking of legally changing my name to Doug H. Nut no I'm not.

11:07am Stanley:

@Brian - I'll stick to my award winning nipple rings.

🥁

11:08am Brian in UK:

Stanley what flavours?

11:09am Stanley:

Sweet 'n' sour, of course.

🥁

11:09am Brian in UK:

Yum. Save a pair for me.

🥁

11:15am βrian:

I always thought horn sections look a bit like a phalanx, so I'd go for that term.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

A phalanx of horns it is!

11:19am coelacanth:

heading to a land of no internet.
Thank you Doug. have a good weekend.
ciao peeps.

11:20am Dean:

Either this set features lots of musicians from foreign lands or I've forgotten how to read.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Leave a trail of USB crumbs, coalacanth.

🥁

11:21am Artie Haywire:

Delighted to be here, sad to be late, pondering how to fend off Fri AM meetings.. And loving the Super Borgou!

11:22am Uncle Michael:

Fend off AM meetings and FM meetings...stick with GDTR.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, Dean and Artie Haywire! (Fend, brother, fend!)

11:22am Uncle Michael:

Or GTDR.

11:24am Uncle Michael:

Only 36 minutes, give or take, until...me.

wfmu.org...

11:24am coelacanth:

haha! funny guys!

bye.

11:24am Dean:

Give Drummers the Radio works, too.

11:25am Carmichael:

Happy Friday Drum & Sums. Glorious rain here all month!

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Wowie zowie, it's Carmichael!

11:35am annie:

the performer tonight will actually be mac arnold! a $5 cover.. i'm getting stoked..and rumor has it he'll have his gas-can guitar..

11:35am annie:

hey carm!!

11:36am Carmichael:

Annie, long time no hear from. How is life in North Carolina?

11:39am annie:

pretty good carm... life is good here.. no real winter to speak of, just moderate temps.. you?

11:41am ndbob:

good one here Doug!

11:42am ndbob:

Cold soaking rain here now - but amazingly the grass is still mostly green - strange for mid-January

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you got rain, Carmichael!

🥁

11:44am βrian:

Pretty temperate right now on the Ishmus. Just above freezing. But it will drop to 10 below, at least, in the next few days. Our little taste of winter.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Layers, βrian, layers.

11:48am mauri:

pants over pants over pants overall pants

11:48am northguineahills:

It's a good 46F/8C over here in in Brooklyn, and is only supposed to get down to 42F/5C, no complaints here!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael is going to do his very fine radio next here on the Drummer Stream. Go make a sandwich and have a pee now so you don't miss a second. Playlist here: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

@ndbob have a great evening. Sgt Pepper time?

11:49am Uncle Michael:

I have time to make a sandwich?

11:49am ndbob:

exactly Brian - except no Vera, Chuck and Dave

11:50am northguineahills:

The gif looks like a project a friend of mine did w/ contact mics.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Sure, UM. Just be sure to wash your hands if you pee first.

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Tuna, balsamic vinegar, mayo & onion on bread. Yes please Uncle.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

NGH, see near the top of the comments for the link to the video.

11:51am earrie:

Thanks to one and all for this fine confection of radio.
Until next time.

11:51am Mr C:

Whoa...Merle doing a good Bobby B..never heard

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
The "McEwen" cut didn't make the cut I'm afraid.

🥁

11:52am Brian in UK:

Thought he was hitting the Overton Vertis vibe.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

If loving you is Wright, Brian in UK, I don't wanna be wrong.

11:55am Mr C:

Doug...I hope that's not a harbinger..

11:55am Carmichael:

@Brian: Could you put a dab of sweet pickle relish on that for me?

@Annie: We are suddenly inundated with snow and rain, which is causing people to run around like happy idiots (myself included). Other than that, it's a day closer to retirement ...

🥁

11:56am βrian:

Blow, phalanx, blow!

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Just a Harvey Wallbanger, Mr C.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Thank you Doug...I gotta go put on my game face.

See you fine folks shortly.

11:57am Stanley:

Another masterclass over.
Thanks Doug.
(Tips hat and exits)

🥁

11:57am βrian:

I'm thinking a bit of cured salmon on a toasted onion bagel, with capers and dill-mustard sauce, might be the thing ...

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

I love to masterclass in public, Stanley.

11:58am mauri:

dat was good.

🥁

11:58am Brian in UK:

Carmichael you wish is my......

Doug that was a real pile of crap. I loves your crap.

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

Whoo! Thanks for the killer show, Doug!

11:58am Carmichael:

<door flapping open, car tires squealing> Gotta go, thanks Doug!

11:59am Dean:

This Internet thing is so frustrating. All the talk of capers and tuna and salmon has my tummy rumbling. Why didn't Tim Berners-Lee include a protocol for transfer of food products over the 'net?

11:59am Webhamster Henry:

Hear ya next week, Doug!

11:59am El Thatchmo:

Sri Schulkind, Baba Ram Doug, our nation salutes you.

🥁

11:59am βrian:

Food porn for the blind, at least.

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Engorge, children, engorge!

Thanks every buddy! That was huge fun!

🥁

12:01pm duke:

Excellent show. Thanks Doug. Too busy to comment but was listening

12:02pm Jesse K:

Thanks Doug, excellent show!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

No probs, duke. Busy fingers are the devil's, um, not fingers!

Hey hey hey, Jesse K!
