8:48am listener james from westwood:

8:54am annie:

🥁

8:54am doctorjazz:

I'll have my worms with all the fixin's.

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

This show's the balm, annie. And it's also SPF 50!

🥁

8:59am duke:

Hola Doug and Drummersomes

9:00am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya, duke! Ahoy, ndbob!

🥁

9:02am listener james from westwood:

This horn is my favorite 9 o'clock whistle.

9:02am Maggie B.:

good morning Doug and drummers! are we ready to ease into the next fiasco, this time by the sea?

9:03am Stanley:

Hey man, whaz going down round here man, mmmm cool y'all. Let's dig.

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

You do know how to whistle, don't you? You put your turntables together and BLOW!

Fiasco al fresco, Maggie B!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

I'll be handing out to each of you a metal-detector wand and a burlap sack. Hit the musical beach!

9:04am ausmanx:

annie, that's some big democracy-ing you guys got going on over there. showing the rest of us punks how to do it, huh?

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Stanley!

9:04am Stanley:

Yeah, let the people decide.

9:05am ausmanx:

that pier in the background don't look too stable to me, doug...

9:05am annie:

oh yeah, through all the right channels, along with corruption and cheating at the top of the list; snafu

9:07am ndbob:

i want to congratulate Hillary on a well deserved and fair victory

9:07am ndbob:

My last word on that here

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

This Blind Roosevelt Graves performance is a masterpiece. A treasure. A "makes you glad to be alive" work of art.

9:08am Stanley:

Can I just say I'm more of a vest out, rather than tucked in, kinda guy.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
Tucked vest? Laughable!

9:10am doca:

Hi, Doug!

9:11am Stanley:

The more I check out the feller on the beach the more I see that the get up is ALL wrong. Them seagulls on the other hand.

9:13am annie:

lovely tune... lovely...

🥁

9:14am listener james from westwood:

@ndbob: It was a damn fine speech, it was. Still gonna be a very ... interesting 3 months. I'm assuming nothing.

🥁

9:15am doctorjazz:

Can someone explain to me, I have read that the DNC emails are supposed to show they favored Hillary over Bernie, but I haven't been able to find anywhere what they actually DID to give the nomination to Hillary. Were there actual illegal/immoral actions by them (I know they're supposed to be neutral, but still doesn't add up to me)

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

I anyone shocked, shocked that the DNC was tilted to the establishment candidate? That is what party leadership is all about. Politically, I am to the left of Bernie Sanders, but this DNC shit is tedious. Time to keep our eyes on squashing the great obscenity.

9:19am holland oats:

debbie shat the bed over msnbc morning joe who are perceived to have changed their tune by her directive - overblown but still shady

9:20am Webhamster Henry:

You might do well to follow Robert Reich's advice: get Trump out of the way, immediately start building up a new party (I won't say third, that implies too few parties...) that is basically the Democratic Socialists that Bernie didn't have in place to run with.

🥁

9:21am listener james from westwood:

The aspect of the Democratic Party that most makes me hold my nose when voting is the DNC.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

My opinion: The goal of every Bernie supporter should be to turn the Senate and make Bernie majority leader. THAT would be historic.

🥁

9:23am listener james from westwood:

@Webmaster Henry: A couple of speakers urged downballot voting. That's where such a push for a new party has to start, where it can make systemic changes needed to sustain non R and D candidates.
@Doug: That would be delicious. Would love to see Reid rusticated. Lotsa open space in Nevada for him. The Laxalts could recommend a nice ranch somewhere.

🥁

9:23am doctorjazz:

THAT would give him clout; probably more than if he was president with a hostile congress.
(Great set, btw)

9:23am holland oats:

that's the lesson of obama - hope is a great starter dish, but change comes only through keeping up the fight i.e. voting those midterms

9:24am ausmanx:

as Gore Vidal said, there is only one party in America, and that's the Party of Money, and it has two very similar wings. and that ain't never going to change, whoever the president may be...

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
I believe Reid has already announced his retirement.

🥁

9:26am listener james from westwood:

@holland oats: Yes yes yes.

9:27am ausmanx:

"I don’t believe we shall ever again have any form of society in which men will be free. One should not hope for it. One should not hope for anything. Hope is invented by politicians to keep the electorate happy." - Pier Paolo Pasolini 1975

9:27am ndbob:

I couldn't disagree more Ausmanx - total bullshit

9:28am holland oats:

to shoot the shit is to be free

9:28am Parq in Poland:

Dropping in for a cameo appearance. It's almost 3:30 pm here, and I gotta get Mrs. Parq's dinner going.

9:28am ndbob:

and right Holland Oats

9:29am annie:

i love all of you dearly, and i'm stepping back from the comments today and gonna just listen. this sham of an election, and the 4-5 previous elections, is disgusting and blatantly wrong. peace out y'all

9:29am ndbob:

and Doug - you are absolutely right

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

A pleasure to feel your long-distance presence, Parq! Now pass the Galaretka.

9:31am ausmanx:

show me the freedom, ndbob!

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Talk is not just talk when it comes from the White House. Presidential rhetoric is a powerful force. We are still backsliding from the years of Reagan's embrace of intolerance.

9:32am holland oats:

the bros have no idea

9:32am holland oats:

(at least in the eighties the music was good)

9:34am ndbob:

@Doug at least about the DNC - Bernie would probably be a poor majority leaders - I don't see him as having the necessary skills.

9:34am ndbob:

Sometimes it's strange being a centrist Democrat in here who supported Hillary all along

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
If Bernie doesn't have the skills to be Majority Leader, he sure as shoot doesn't have the skills to be in the oval office. Politically, I am more closely aligned to Bernie than any presidential candidate in my lifetime. But I feared that his presidency would have been a disaster that would have damaged and set back progressivism for generations.

But this is all moot. There is only one sane, rational choice. In my opinion.

9:38am Mr C:

There's a thrill up on the hill. Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go!
The Drummer Trumps Hate..a family affair!

9:38am Parq:

I dug Bernie's stance, but when the Daily News editorial board asked him how he was going to do what he was promising to do, he had not one single concrete answer. Sorry, but that matters.

9:39am ndbob:

@ausmax I'm not going to get into that @Doug - I agree about Bernie as president - decent man - with many ideas I support - but not a leader

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Bernie has already done a remarkable thing for the Democrats and for our country. Hillary was forced to tack left and address income inequality in a way she never would have otherwise. Now her presidency will be beholden to the left. This in turn stretches the center back to the center from where it had drifted rightward for years. For this, Bernie is a hero. Occupy!

🥁

9:47am doctorjazz:

Absolutely, Hillary is so left of Bill now, it's really interesting. Of course, that is what folks disliked about her in the first place, her positions do shift. But, man, I don't think the politicians locked into their ideology move anything forward, that's been the gridlock of the past, oh, maybe 20 years, starting with Newt.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Fuck you, bad website. Fuck you.

9:51am mauri:

hellou doug and drummas.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, mauri!

9:54am ausmanx:

i fear the comments board is rather proving Pasolini correct. i kinda remember all this stuff being said about Obama back in 2008... i do sometimes wish americans would consider governments in the rest of the world instead of just thinking about their own. look where that's got us... how anyone can consider anything about Hillary remotely "Left" is beyond me

🥁

9:55am doctorjazz:

Lots of cool clarinet today, digging the Latin Brothers, great sounding clarinet on the Amazing Grace too, if I remember correctly (short term memory going...)

9:58am Mr C:

Good Morning Joe played almost all Gamble and Huff music this morning! Only the Strong Survive for one.

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
You aren't seriously making any sort of judgment about "our times" based on a comments board.

"Left" and "Right" are just stories we tell ourselves. They are fictions. Meanwhile, we live in a real world with real consequences resulting from our choices. To see Hillary as anything other than an alternative to President Trump is, in my opinion, foolish.

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

And

H E L L O

Mr C!

🥁

10:00am βrian:

Bernie was my mayor and Bernie was my candidate. But I do like that H has adopted specifics from Bernie's approach — specifically the idea of restructuring the economy rather than making "incremental" changes. I also like that she didn't get fuzzy, like Chelsea, in terms of discussing her identity.

And what did you all think of General Bulldog? I think George C. Scott sat up.

🥁

10:01am listener james from westwood:

βrian: I tuned in just when the general was mid-address and it woke me right the hell up! I almost dropped and gave him 20!

🥁

10:02am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, can I write something controversial?

🥁

10:02am βrian:

Ameni, Doug.

10:03am ndbob:

Indeed Doug

10:03am joe:

'ello folks

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, βrian and Joe! Good afternoon, Brian in UK! And yes of course. Write anything you like. This is your space and it is everyone's.

Oh, and leaf-blower guy is here!

10:06am Jeff Golick:

I listened to this yesterday, too.

10:06am ausmanx:

i don't dismiss what people put on the comments board, doug. i think the folks are quite serious about what they are posting here. Pasolini's point is simply about human behaviour and political behaviour, and there are manifestations of that. i personally think it's foolish to expect of Hillary anything better than President Trump if you live anywhere else in the world, especially in Palestine, Eastern Europe, Russia, China, etc, where she will unquestionably be a disaster

10:06am Jeff Golick:

Hi, leaf blower guy, and all. And Doug.

🥁

10:07am βrian:

I expected to see a well-regulated militia outside the D convention, with leaf-blowers strapped to their backs.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

But she will be a less worse disaster than Trump. And that is all that matters, ausmanx.

10:09am ndbob:

I remember this actually - in 1964 we were vacationing in AC - my parents befriended someone who was working at the convention - and we got to walk around the convention floor while they were setting up.

🥁

10:09am listener james from westwood:

First learned what Hamer had to go through to speak that day via a tweetstorm earlier this week. Wow.

10:09am Mr C:

And who would like raise their hands, and sit off in the corner with Messrs Trump, Giuliani and Christie. In the background plays the Impressions' "This is My Country..

10:10am ndbob:

and watching the convention when we went back home

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Hi, Brother Jeff Golick (or, as we like to call you, BJG).

10:11am annie:

This was Jeffrey St Clair's post just now: Kurt Vonnegut: “No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious & charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful.”

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

Well firstly it aint crap, please refrain from describing your show thusly.
Secondly, I really am at my wits end with Magnums, the chocolate always breaks too easily releasing the ice cream underneath. Thicker chocolate.
Thirdly, what has been learned since Fannie Mae's passionate speech?

🥁

10:12am listener james from westwood:

@Brian in UK: The lesson: Keep questioning America.

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
Robert Caro writes powerfully in his Lyndon Johnson biography of Johnson's subterfuge to try to keep the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party from reaching the convention floor. He send HUBERT HUMPHREY to do his dirty work.

10:12am ndbob:

I see Hillary as (potentially) a very good president - @Annie yes it will

🥁

10:12am listener james from westwood:

Assuming that "welcome to Chicago" voice was Richard J Daley.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

It will be up to us to make sure Hillary's presidency is a good one. Same as it has been with President Obama.

10:13am ndbob:

right Doug

🥁

10:14am listener james from westwood:

Oh HELL yes to this Steinski cut!

10:14am Stanley:

Leaf blower guy, I suspect, is just some poor fella, who's not all there. Every town has one.

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Not the only Steinski cut of the set, Listener James!

10:14am annie:

ndbob, if you can keep track of the events and happenings for the next 2 years if she is elected, she'll be as "presidential" as the rest of the criminals that have held office since the late 60s

10:15am Webhamster Henry:

Vote for Steinski!

10:16am annie:

i suggest that simply being female does not qualify a person for public office. and, again, i love you all; i'm just very upset..

10:16am ausmanx:

brian, do you think the chocolate has become thinner on Magnums over recent years? this is what's happened to Tim Tams, the Australian national biscuit. it's all down the corporate profit motive, clearly. nothing is sacred

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

Stanley Tree debris relocation operative.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

To have Kenny G on today's playlist page while this track is playing is some damn dissonance right there!

10:17am ndbob:

@annie perfectly fine for you to express your feelings here

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

It was never up to the job.

🥁

10:17am βrian:

Isn't Magnum a brand of condom?

10:18am Stanley:

@ausmanx - the same fate as Wagon Wheels. Now the chocolate is almost see-through.

🥁

10:18am βrian:

Al Green has pledged to make a ship sail on dry land — just by waving his hand.

🥁

10:19am Brian in UK:

βrian oh dear what have I been munching on all these years.

🥁

10:19am listener james from westwood:

One of my favorite pre-2008 election clips Doug played was the Southern gent who endorsed, as he pronounced it, "Berawk Obama." All hail regional accents!

🥁

10:19am βrian:

Who is the "wrong" speaker?

10:20am Matt:

Bill O'Reilly. Who incidentally went to the same high school I did. Ugh.

🥁

10:20am Brian in UK:

Doug waiting for a seagull to crap on his head. (crap show?)

10:21am Stanley:

That's all right his hair looks like its machine washable.

🥁

10:21am βrian:

A friend's cat, Baraka, came to be called "Buttock," just by force of linguistic evolution. "Furry Buttock," to be precise.

10:22am joe:

I sit here and silent sob in my office as I listen to Ms. Hamer speak. Although this is 42 years ago I feel there is still some pertinence what she is saying maybe not at the scale that she exposes here but it still exists. I look at the "times" as they are and have been for the last 60 + years and continue to have to come to conclusion that I really don't want to come to. That we as a species as whole (not as individuals) have failed. We take on a conceited stance that we hold abilities and mindsets that our actions have proven time and time again we do not. I live with a constant want to have the utmost faith in my species but I have seen nothing to make me believe we almost have no hope but to live in this consistent negative loop. Believe me this is not a feeling of cynicism and flavor of the month pessimism. I want to be wrong I don't want us to fail but I come to find it very hard to find any positive in us on a larger level of whole and most of my happiness with the human race comes from the direct action I have with people but I really don't see on the scale of taking all of our actions as an overall species and comparing them good v bad that we have much to be proud of to put in our history books in the present and recent past.

10:23am holland oats:

Michelle's "Carpool Karaoke" is a a work of art.

10:23am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@Doug 9:42: "Hillary was forced to tack left and address income inequality in a way she never would have otherwise. Now her presidency will be beholden to the left."

Because politicians are famous for sticking to their campaign promises.

10:25am ausmanx:

annie, quite right to be upset. joe, sounds pretty clear sighted to me. anyway, good night to all you Cintonistas, she's certainly got you all fooled. i'm off to dream of anarchism and revolution. i suppose if she's only half as appalling as Obama, you'll regard it as an achievement. good luck!

10:25am ndbob:

@joe There have been some very positive developments that rarely are talked about - great strides in much of the third world towards eradication of disease, lower child mortality rates, rising standards of living - to be sure much of the world is still a disaster - but much much less so than in the past.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Kenzo
So Hillary is damned for what she says as well as what she doesn't? Bernie is no less a politician.

10:26am Jeff Golick:

I've been dwelling on Fannie Lou Hamer's question, "Is this America?" for days now. If not years. The problem is that in many ways it IS America. But it is not ALL of America. Multitudes, etc. The split in beliefs feels more pronounced now, the tribalism much stronger.

James Baldwin, where are you.

🥁

10:27am Brian in UK:

@joe never understand when people say we do not learn from history. That is not what history is there for.

10:27am Webhamster Henry:

One of the main US political problems is that actual votes, actual polls, protests, marches, petitions, "movements" - are not considered and reflected in actual legislation, whereas feeding the power with money and influence is.

10:29am ndbob:

@Henry - no - not always true - look at the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act, etc

10:30am joe:

@Brian in UK I suppose that is true in the case of history, but isn't basic human educational process to learn from your "mistakes"? the whole hot stove concept

10:31am Jeff Golick:

When the revolution comes it would be foolish of me to expect that I would be anything more than cannon fodder.

What does a post-revolution world look like? Serious question.

10:31am Webhamster Henry:

@ndbob Exactly, not always true. True now.

10:31am ndbob:

2Jeff bad Jeff - very bad

🥁

10:32am Brian in UK:

If you do not see it as a mistake.........

10:32am ndbob:

10:32am joe:

@Brian in UK true

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

Surely in a democracy there should be an option not to vote for any of the candidates.

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Did you know that JFK and his brother Robert had a nickname for James Baldwin"

Martin Luther Queen

I kid you not.

10:35am joe:

@Doug REALLY!!??

10:37am ndbob:

@Henry - true now sometimes - gay marriage is a good example - it's true that it worked its way up through the court system rather than through legislation , but it might have taken many more years to do so without popular support behind it

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

@joe

nowheremag.com...

🥁

10:37am Brian in UK:

If anyone wants a history of the world up to the mid 1930s, aimed for children but children of all ages can enjoy it.
littlehistory.org...

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

And Obama was firmly AGAINST marriage equality. Whatever he felt personally, as a politician, he saw it as the third rail it was. Until it wasn't.

10:39am ndbob:

right Doug

10:39am annie:

i need a drink

🥁

10:41am βrian:

@annie: There's a full bar in Don Draper's office.

10:41am joe:

@Jeff Golick I honestly believe that a post revolution world is going to not look much different than it does now at least in the western world. The changes will come in how the day to day activities in politics and "order keeping" will change. Any true uprising again in the "western developed world" will be quashed pretty quickly and use as an example for creating a protective Totalitarianism bringing more of the actions being done covertly now out to the fore under the guise of protection and safety.

10:42am Maggie B.:

get me a martini too, someone. it may be morning in America, but it's five o'clock somewhere.

🥁

10:43am doctorjazz:

This Come Sunday just jumped out at me, fabulous (love Rudd).

10:43am holland oats:

& put it on my basic income tab

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

This Roswell Rudd cover of Ellington makes me exceedingly happy

10:44am annie:

i'm sad to say i agree with you @joe. my housemate keeps going on about a revolution.... he's not thinking it out.

10:44am Mike East:

diverted to hoboken this morning, but I made it! Happy Friday all!

10:44am annie:

here's your martini, maggie!

10:45am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: I had heard that, yes. Wonder what they called Bayard Rustin.

🥁

10:45am doctorjazz:

Trombone for Lovers is a GREAT album, think I heard it hear (then got it).

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Bayard Rustin. Damn. What a hero.

Hello, Mike East!

10:49am joe:

@annie there are so many issues I have with a supposed "revolution".
And that's with out even getting into the sociopolitical opinions I have on the fact. Just take the sheer might of "the man" that would devastate any revolutionary upheaval.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Your Cannonball Adderley group lineup:

Alto Saxophone – Cannonball Adderley
Bass – Sam Jones
Cornet – Nat Adderley
Drums – Louis Hayes
Tenor, Flute – Yusef Lateef
Piano – Joe Zawinul

10:53am βrian:

Did you see that NYker cartoon? : An office worker, drink in hand, asking a colleague: "Why do the martinis always taste better at work?"

10:54am Jeff Golick:

This here.

Final "political" thought: at the risk of seeming overly naive or simplistic. one thing I think is sorely needed and in ever-dwindling supply is empathy. In a "conversation" focused on "winners" and "losers," us/them conflicts, etc., it becomes impossible to imagine POVs other than one's own. We're distracted, tired, joylessly consuming the minutes...how to dredge up the generosity of spirit required to find the common humanity in us all?

Ok back to work.

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

@Jeff that should be part of our every waking moment but unfortunately we seem to like the word blame too much to ever coalesce.

🥁

10:57am βrian:

Sometimes generosity of spirit is met with full-blown obstructionism.

10:57am Mike East:

Yes, Brian...made me want a martini. I take mine dirty.

🥁

10:58am Brian in UK:

Fire & Ice reminds me of The Taps' Jazz Odyssey. (Not really)

10:58am annie:

i'm glad i hung around, y'all... you're the best!

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

The speaker there was tuba player Howard Johnson!

11:00am joe:

Ok now the Kenny G thig is really off putting. :)

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

You, too, annie. I firmly suspect we all want the same thing. Just have different ideas about how to get them. And that's okay.

🥁

11:01am doctorjazz:

More cool clarinet...

11:01am Jeff Golick:

One can still buy that Fire & Ice LP direct from the LP, btw: www.lovely.com...

11:02am annie:

all i want is for the killing to stop, and for justice to prevail.

11:02am Jeff Golick:

This Portal doesn't sound much like 1972. Meant as a compliment.

11:03am ndbob:

exactly Jeff - per final political thoght

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

I have always had the biggest crush on Genie Sherman, the vocalist on that Fire & Ice album. Then I exchanged emails with her and got all... quiet.

Loves me some bandoneon!

I do remember Jason, he also used to DJ at the Fez before the Loser's Lounge.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

I'm with Florencia Amengual.
(Say I, with bated breath.)

11:13am Maggie B.:

thankya Annie!

11:15am annie:

i have more if you want a refresher, maggie

11:24am Uncle Michael:

I hope you can all come party with me. We're gonna party. You ll love to party....top of the hour.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

There here is! I bet you were out with the turtles, eh, Uncle Michael?!

11:29am Dean:

So your show's going partisan, UM?

🥁

11:30am doctorjazz:

been a fun show, getting into the home stretch, thanks Doug. (board has been really interesting as well).

🥁

11:31am βrian:

Party on, Partisans!

11:31am Mark R:

I love this Kenyan stuff and I have to say it doesn't sound dated to me at all. Could have all been new releases to my ears.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Yes...the...uhhh...turtles...yessss....

11:32am Jeff Golick:

W-o-w.

11:32am Mark R:

I think for all the subtleties in politics and the need to really get involved at local and state levels, the national picture is Trump=WWIII and I'm not even exaggerating when I say that. I think he could possibly bring about nuclear holocaust. And I oppose nuclear holocaust, even if that's a controversial opinion.

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Dean! Welcome aboard, Mark R!

@doctorjazz
I like fun.

11:33am Mark R:

That's my only political opinion, all other posts will be about music.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

I'm with you on that nuclear holocaust shit, Mark E.

11:37am Marie:

Good morning, Doug. I love that GIF!

11:38am Mark R:

I suppose we have to give the pro-nuclear holocaust people equal time.

11:38am Carmichael:

Heya Doug and pundits.

@Annie: You and I lived through '68. THAT was a revolution. This is petulant whining, in my opinion.

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

Great show, Doug. Apart from the crap which was outstanding.

11:39am coelacanth:

good morning Doug and drummers

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Awright, it's coelacanth!

@Brian in UK
I always seem to be out, standing in crap.

11:40am Dean:

Glenn Greenwald laments the wave of Cold War nostalgia that seems to motivate pseudo-macho proponents of arming to the teeth. Hard to disagree.

Nevertheless, Pseudo-Macho would be a terrific band name.

🥁

11:41am Brian in UK:

Get you some wellingtons next Xmas.

Was it Frederick Knight that sang Everlasting Love?

11:41am ?:

This last hour (when I tuned in) has been a marvellously varied stream of pep. Great stuff.

11:42am Michael Pollak:

Oops, forgot name, new to this.

11:43am coelacanth:

damn, i've missed so much.

-oh, and, nuclear holocaust? i just don't like it.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, Michael P!
I call this my MVSP part of the show.

🥁

11:44am Brian in UK:

@coelacanth NH is a new black metal band from Estonia. Do not fret yourself.

11:45am Hugo:

Doug, thanks for the Kenya set. I've been to the Melodica store in Nairobi (twice).

On politics: I loved the statement by Bloomberg at the DNC, "I'm a New Yorker and I know a con when I see one." And, "let's elect a sane, competent person." Nuff said. Sanity and competence must count for something, right? And isn't it about time a woman was elected to the post?

11:47am Ike:

Also concerned about Drumpf pushing the button....

11:47am Mr C:

Robert Knight sang the original version of "Everlasting Love."

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Hi, Hugo!

Wikipedia:
"Everlasting Love" is a song written by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, originally a 1967 hit for Robert Knight and since remade several times, most successfully by the Love Affair, Carl Carlton and Sandra. In 1989, U2 released a version of "Everlasting Love" as a B-side on various formats of the "All I Want Is You" single.

11:49am coelacanth:

the record shows that we generally prefer insane &/or incompetent leaders.

🥁

11:49am βrian:

Maybe if they inset the button — oh 2-1/2 inches, say — then he wouldn't be able to reach it.

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

Thanks Mr C. It was The Love Affair's poor version over here.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

In 2012, Trump was lauding Bloomberg on Twitter. Now he is deriding him as "Little Mike Bloomberg." So fucking juvenile.

11:49am Dean:

@Hugo: It was time to elect a female president when Shirley Chisholm ran, so, yeah. Sanity and competence aren't sufficient, perhaps not even necessary, for those who believe effectiveness is measured purely in terms of wealth and swagger. Trump's sanity is his own business, they might insist. And the proof of competence is in the pudding: look at all those buildings with his name on the marquee!

11:50am Mr C:

This has been a Top of the Stack Drummer show. Sincere thanks to you Doug. A master chef at work..cookin' up a storm!

11:50am Marie:

Glad to see Ailes leaving Fox. Fox has done irreparable damage to US politics. What the heck are Rupert Murdoch's motivations? I think money (ego/pride) and conservatism (he is an ego-driven elitist). Supposedly, Murdoch's sons aren't so conservative...

11:51am Michael Pollak:

Que'ce que ce MVSP?

🥁

11:51am Brian in UK:

A Lobster Turntableador of a show.

11:52am Marie:

Thanks, Douggy!

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Remember your crazy uncle back at Thanksgiving? Well, HE'S BACK! Hinky Dinky Time is next on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...

11:53am jessie:

This is such a crazy awesome set that I actually managed to clean up my office during it -- you can see the floor!

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Marie
I think you're dreaming if you think Fox will veer away from the right. I like dreams, though, so fingers crossed!

11:53am coelacanth:

Brian (in uk) i have a friend who, back in the day, hated the Clash because he hated the band name. he'll definitely love a band called "nuclear holocaust"!

11:53am Hugo:

@Dean: If he should get elected, I'm sure the White House will be renamed the Trump House. Nothing less will do!

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

To trump is a euphemism for breaking wind over here.

11:54am Dean:

@Hugo: Agreed, although I'm sure he has no deep quarrel with "White," if you get my drift. Might also call it "My House, Mine, Mine, All Mine."

11:55am coelacanth:

huh? i thought I was the crazy uncle at thanksgiving!

11:55am Dean:

@Brian in UK: "Euphemism" is a fancy word for "bullshit."

11:56am Jeff Golick:

I actually think the best thing to do re Trump is stop paying attention. Will never happen, but I'm pretty sure he withers and dies if not bathed in klieg lights and surrounded by microphones every 6-12 hours.

Love trumps hate vs. Love Trump's hate is a pretty concise summation, imo.

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

Dean I will thank you to mind your language here young man.

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:57am Dean:

Pardon, Brian. "Young" is a euphemism in this circumstance for, uh, "not young."

🥁

11:58am Brian in UK:

@Jeff the Media give these people the oxygen they crave.

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

Many thanks, Doug! Four more years of GTDS!

11:59am coelacanth:

Thanks Doug! 'sorry to be so unfashionably late.

12:00pm Jeff Golick:

I vote YES on question DRUMMER SOME.

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

@coelcanth
I hear you knocking (it's not too late).

Love + Love = Love (Drummer sum)

🥁

12:01pm Brian in UK:

Be true to yourselves.

12:22pm Paul Sherratt:

Never underestimate the sleeping idiots waking up to vote.

12:30pm Doug Schulkind:

So many idiots, Paul Sherratt.
