yay, John Dalton just told me it's official - i have successfully adopted you, Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:16am Andrew Waterloo:

@Uncle Michael. I haven't had that experience.
It's perplexing because clicking on the playlist Pledge Now used to automate the show selection, and when you get to that pledge page it looks like your show is selected already.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:16am listener james from westwood:

@Brian: Can confirm that via Chrome, the monkey is walking erect, and there is a familiar-looking science fiction artifact from the late 60s looming in the background....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:17am Alex In Illinois:

The "Pledge Now" icon on the WFMU homepage IS visible and working. It is just on the playlists, that it is getting blocked out. I checked the live stream playlist too.

Uncle I did not request swag apart from a SfL t-shirt and found Doug OK.

@james I am using Chrome. Odd.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:19am Uncle Michael:

I've heard from the top that the pledges are correctly directed even though the selection tool disappears. If you check the box before you choose, you have to uncheck it to choose then you can recheck it.

This is so easy!

In Chicago, put the radio on scan, and you will get a least 4 stations in Spanish. One of them actually transmits from Kankakee! The play the most current exitos! You usually find Cumbia, Batchata, or the kind of pop that sounds just like the English language top 40 except in Spanish or Spanglish.

TV is like a demanding child that constantly requires attention. Whereas radio is grownup enough to be left alone or can be part of a group. It also requires your imagination to be part of the equation.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15am listener james from westwood:

If anyone out there's been poised in a state of catlike readiness, waiting for that last hour of GTDS to make that pledge that helps Doug make his goal: now's the time!

Doug, ever played music from Borneo?
Avatar 11:18am Flash Strap:

i had to shave the dog, but i've been here the whole time! this is the greatest show on earth, the show with the biggest heart of them all. I love seeing that percentage raise! 50%!!! let's go all the way this week, just to throw everyone off
Avatar 11:21am Lewis:

and I'm back... I trust that things have been progressing nicely...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:21am Brian in UK:

@Flash is he not old enough to shave himself? (assuming a male dog)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:22am Alex In Illinois:

Have you ever seen that bizarre Little Rascals episode called "The Kid From Borneo"?
Avatar 11:22am Flash Strap:

she's... uh, TOO old to shave herself
Avatar 11:23am Flash Strap:

@Alex: no, but now I must

My wife decided to get a beagle because it was short haired. He drops SO much hair it is not true.
Avatar 11:26am Flash Strap:

short haired dogs shed the worst of anyone
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30am Brian in UK:

Talking of dogs. After pledging to Amanda's show this week she got to mentioning Spencer, our beagle. How many radio stations know their listeners that well. That alone is good enough flex the plastic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30am listener james from westwood:

I had a beagle/Lab mix in the 80s, and I am STILL finding his hair in my books.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32am Uncle Michael:

After you've all emptied your piggy banks for Doug, come on over and listen to me marathon at the top of the hour. Won't you?

morning Doug and everyone - had an appointment hence I'm really late
Avatar 11:35am βrian:

When you speak of beagles, is it the dog or a kind of coiffure? Hard to tell from the comments.
Avatar 11:35am Flash Strap:

I can't be there for more than a minute, Uncle, but I'll be with you in spirit and solidarity
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:35am Doug Schulkind:

Happy you're here, ndbob! Howdy, βrian!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Make sure to where your safety goggles in the beagle lab, Listener James.

Re-upping my Swag-for-Life. The buggy buggy Online pledge thingy credited Marty McSorley with my "gimme a prize!" pledge -- and he's a fine dj and I enjoy his show very much. but I meant it for you, Doug!
Avatar 11:37am Flash Strap:

wear should he where them is the question, he asked warily
Avatar 11:37am βrian:

Oh, this pledge software is the bane of electorate!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:38am Brian in UK:

You can play this every week, Mr DJ.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Be thankful for what you've got. Wow. One of my favorite songs.

UM, I wouldn't miss it. And excellent instructions atop the chat, too.
  11:39am jessie:

When I was in high school we used to walk around in Chicago singing "diamond in the back, sun roof top . . . ." Figures I'd hear it again here!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40am Goyim in the AM:

Sadly, following the instructions carefully didn't work in my case, grumble grumble.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK:

I work in a hospital and am thankful everyday when I walk out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42am doctorjazz:

Still haven't figured out how to split the Swag for Life between the various shows.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42am Goyim in the AM:

But by God, I'll toss in another pledge 'cause I have a big amount to play with AND YOU NEED THAT CREDIT.
  11:43am Dean:

It sounded like you said, "Yellow Tango." Imagine a bill with three bands:

Yo La Tengo
Yellow Tango
Y'all Owe Ten, Go
Avatar 11:43am βrian:

My doctor tells me I have a diamond in the back ...
and now I'm listing to port.
Avatar 11:44am annie:

doug, there was a sweet little short film from a decade or so ago: a farmer's wife had died and they had a cow he had to tend. he tried multiple times to approach the cow and she always ran.. one morning he realized his wife had always milked the cow, so he slipped on one of her house-dresses.. bingo! i wonder if your dad would love a piece of some of mom's clothing.. the scent and physical presence may calm him...it works for babies..
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:47am Goyim in the AM:

OK, second time's the charm for credit. Also, helpful tip for non-US pledgers: if you click a US state and then go back to <choose one>, you are not forced to say you're from Belfast, Alabama, Ireland (for example).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:48am Brian in UK:

@doctorjazz check Uncle Michaels link at 10:35
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

You're the best, Goyim in the AM! Sorry I revealed your human identity!
Avatar 11:50am βrian:

Sadly, when my mom went, Dad couldn't really tell. There were times it seemed he sensed some part of his life was missing, but by then he spent most of his time back in WWll in the South Pacific.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51am Brian in UK:

Doug, well done for keeping this show in one piece at such a difficult time.

Love the Ngozi sound.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52am Stanley:

I think I clicky-starred the tracks on this album each time they get played.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52am Brian in UK:

There is a bleedin' leafblower man outside.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53am holland oats:

GTDR4EVA - l8r all
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53am Brian in UK:

...and no he will not pledge.
Avatar 11:54am βrian:

Leaf blowers should never, ever be used outdoors.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:54am Goyim in the AM:

No big deal, Doug. However, my wife walked in the door precisely at the moment that you said "Hinterbrühl, Austria", and she said "WHAT DID THAT MAN ON THE RADIO JUST SAY???"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:54am Stanley:

The philistine!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:54am Lane Gray:

I prefer my electric leafsucker
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
My dad does not know my mom has died, either. And he spends his best moments now talking about his service and his time in France/Luxembourg/Germany with the 5th Armored Division. Amazing stories he can recall like it was yesterday.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:56am Brian in UK:

@Lane I thank you not to call me sucker.
Avatar 11:57am βrian:

I think it really was yesterday.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:57am Brian in UK:

It is amazing how well the embedded memory surfaces with such clarity.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:59am Parq:

Figure I can catch both Doug and Michael with a post now. Swamperoo, so no real time to play in the yard, but listening and rooting for you both.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59am Uncle Michael:

I'm the electric cashsucker. Get ready!
Avatar 11:59am annie:

i worked in a nursing home... one of our patients spent most of her mind-time as a young woman, and oftentimes not at all recognizing her adult children who were very upset by that.. they hadn't been born yet, we had to remind them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59am Lane Gray:

Cool reimagining of Hiram
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Parq!
