@Brian, yes, Oliver Wendell Douglas himself. He's great, as is the movie.
RE: Elaine May, it wasn't just "Ishtar", she also had a good deal of trouble with "A New Leaf" (also hilarious), turning in a 3-hour cut that the studio had to prune down to a manageable length. And on "Mikey and Nicky" she fired her DP for no good reason, shot tons of film, and took a long time to edit that too. She's very talented but she needed a strong producing partner IMHO.

How is "dj" pronounced in Polish?

I met Peter Falk once at a production by Piccolo Teatro di Milano of Shakespeare's "Tempest" in Italian. The introduction was courtesy of the person whose pronunciation of Płock I recall.

Is that macaronic, or what?

Richard Meltzer needs to be added to that list of DJs. His show at KPFK during the late '70s, early '80s, was pretty darn splendid.
  5:21pm
Cliff:

The whole prescriptivism-vs-descriptivism thang dates from the 1910s-1940s when structuralist linguistics was trying to overthrow the old fuddie-duddies in the classics and anthropology departments. Then Chomsky came along in the 50s and shook everyone up by accusing the structuralists of being too enamored with methodology over theory, that started the structuralist-vs-generativist wars.

Then some of Chomsky's students revolted in the early 70's, that started the generative-vs-functionalist split in linguistics. Umberto Eco said that the different schools of linguistics are organized like Western Christendom, there's one big faction following the Pope (that would be the generative linguists with Chomsky as their spiritual head) and a variety of denominations who take issue with one or another points of doctrine (that would be the various functionalist schools that sprung up on the West coast of the US)

  5:30pm
Dean:

The show was "Hepcats from Hell," and it aired, iirc, from midnight on Fridays or Saturdays. Featured mostly punk, although I remember during a visit his playing either a Cabaret Voltaire or Wire-related EP. Before dropping the needle he said something like,"This tune is kinda long, about fifteen minutes." He plays the record and seconds after it finishes the phone rings. (This is sometime around 2:00 a.m.) He takes the call on-air. The caller reports, "It was 17 minutes, 18 seconds." Also, he wrote a poem about his gig at KPFK. The station was then, probably remains, dysfunctional, sometimes charmingly so.

@coel: I'll be brutally frank, if not @ all specific: Basically *all* FMU-Js impress me *mightily* w/ their knowledge & taste (which is the prime requirement) - but mic breaks & on-air skills & manner are a separate concern. The sort of thing that makes Rating them sound like a stunt to me...
My descriptive of Gaylord:
...All the FMU-Js impress w/ their knowledge & good taste in Music
...but perhaps of them all - Gaylord Fields most particularly represents the idea - & the actuality - of the DJ as Artist himself.
He obliterates any imagined contradiction of HighBrow vs. LowBrow in the most graceful & natural way. His level of being Informed of the range & specifics of Musics is this great. He has stated his method is spontaneous - so this must be so. He refers to Cinema & clearly often favors Soundtracks - & like a Director his segues & sequencing & flow create a kind of blanket of feelings & narrative that settles on the whole Program - & the listeners' moods...
  5:39pm

So it goes with those Pacifica stations. I was in LA during the reign of Mark Chubb as GM. OMG, what a fucking mess. He wanted to turn the station into an ever so slightly barely edgier NPR, cancelled all the killer programming. Up here KPFA is having trouble, too. I do hope they can survive.

Re: Nick Drake: I really don't think he went "undiscovered" for that long. Trouser Press did a tribute back in January 1978.

@Cliff: The guy featured in this article is a buddy of mine: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/24/utopian-for-beginners

He's now posting his recordings of original progressive rock compositions sung in his made-up language on YouTube.

My favorite thing about Gaylord is that he seems (or pretends) to have no style at all. (As in, delivery style -- no shtick or pretense whatsoever).

one, two many makes a lot of sense. your eye can reliably see and count up to three objects grouped together. after that, it's difficult.

Not that I don't enjoy the shticks many DJs have. Just that Gaylord doesn't seem to need one.

"Inherent Vice" was great! Absolutely right - it was overlooked!

In Inherent Vice, I *loved* the reaction of Joaquin Phoenix's character to the photo of the child.

Haha—just regular Harry Anderson. I think you're conflating him and Richard Dean "MacGyver" Anderson

Cliff:

glenn, we can actually go up to five or so without having to count. So claiming a language doesn't have words for 3, 4, 5 can be a little dubious.
