Listener comments!

8:49am ausmanx:

i'd have a look on my face like that too if all those kroner were heading my way. evening all, back at work after a month in Iceland and Norway, speaking of things Scandinavian

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome back ausmanx! I keep hoping to get to Norway. (Party afraid I'd never come back.)

8:58am Dave in Vermont:

oh, Bobby

8:59am ausmanx:

Norway was a bit neat and clean and bourgeois for me, but Iceland is truly staggering. did dig up some old medieval Norse music which was pretty good, and a bit of impro going on. King Crimson had sold out three nights in Oslo months ago!

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug, Ausmax, everyone!

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Dave in Vermont! Morning ndbobby!

You have such high standards, ausmanx. Bless you, Sir.

true Ray; there's a hardanger player down the road here in sydney too; a strange instrument; but if you like fiddles... www.facebook.com...

9:06am Mr C:

"She used to call me Bobby/little boy blue/she said blow your horn baby/I'll be true to you..." Good morning Mr. Blues!

9:08am Stanley:

I couldn't agree with you more, Doug.
It's a pretty bleak scene both sides of the Atlantic.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Nice to see you, mauri!

You're profund as ever, Mr C.

9:09am Maggie B.:

i'm late, make room at the table. Morning Drummers!

9:10am ausmanx:

i see Steve van Zandt played a Hardanger in Lilyhammer...

9:13am hyde:

i'm here to report that i just went to the Registry of Motor Vehicles and was in and out of there in about 2 minutes while being waited on by a pleasant state employee.

so either this is gonna be a good day, or i woke up in a bizarro universe where up is down and black is white.

9:14am annie:

scoot right in maggie!

9:15am Jeff Golick:

This must be the place.

9:15am mauri:

bizarro the colourful bro of zorro

🥁

9:15am doctorjazz:

Acoustic Blues, loving it!

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Mother Maggie B!
Bizarro hyde!
Jeff "Should I Come or Should I" Golick!

9:16am ndbob:

@hyde - great! DMV is really easy to deal with here in Indiana - as it was in North Dakota - Maryland was a different story

9:17am ausmanx:

there is a bizzarro universe, hyde, one where the Emirates flight i came home on had the whole of Trout Mask Replica on the playlist. i wonder if i am the only passenger who's listened to it?

9:18am Jeff Golick:

Thanks, @hyde, for reminding me I needed to renew my registration.

9:22am annie:

re: DMV, i'm considering getting a NC driver's lisence... i hear it's a madhouse there. maybe i'll wait another 5 years

9:23am Jeff Golick:

God I love Lil Green.

9:25am hyde:

@ausmanx i'm guessing yes!

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

I never before now really understood the real meaning of "honey dripper." I am blushing.

🥁

9:25am duke:

Good morning Doug and Dugsters

9:25am mauri:

I wish it'd snow already

🥁

9:25am listener james from westwood:

Blues by the numbers! (Speaking of the numbers, gimme a quarter on 627.)

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

304 Blues:

Working on the project, what a scared man, you know
Working on the project, what a scared man, you know
Because every time I look around, somebody’s getting their 304

Working on the project with a big furniture bill to pay
Working on the project with a big furniture bill to pay
But time I got my 304, the furniture man come and taken my furniture away

Working on the project, the rent man is knocking on my door
Working on the project, the rent man is knocking on my door
I am sorry Mr. Rent Man, I just got my 304

Working on the project, my partner got his 304 too
Working on the project, my partner got his 304 too
So you better look out because tomorrow it may be you

Working on the project, a 304 may make you cry
Working on the project, a 304 will make you cry
There’s one thing sure, you can tell the project goodbye

9:33am Uncle Michael:

I need to hear some sitar.

9:34am hyde:

i thought i needed to hear some koto, but i was wrong

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

Sit right here, then, Uncle Michael and enjoy.

You get partial credit, hyde.

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

And some of you said I didn't have the "temperament" to do a radio show!

9:41am mauri:

how much can you sitar?

9:41am Mr C:

I don't remember ever seeing this album.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

They took their cosmic shit seriously in 1968.

9:41am coelacanth:

good morning

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

coelacanth on board!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the cover art for this Bill Plummer record: 4.bp.blogspot.com...

9:43am coelacanth:

- on my hands and knees... this shit's slippery.

9:44am Jeff Golick:

The paisley tie is due for a comeback.

9:44am mauri:

Bill's classy and his brotherhood's tight

9:45am Mr C:

Ah yes. Thank you. I would've avoided that like the plague (or Trump- take your pick)

🥁

9:45am doctorjazz:

This Pike is great!

🥁

9:46am doctorjazz:

Just love the sitar.

9:47am coelacanth:

what a great album cover! especially for that music.

9:48am melinda:

I tuned in just in time to see Bob playing sitar. I mean guitar.

🥁

9:49am doctorjazz:

Now I just gotta smile, Tequila!

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, an African-music besotted Iranian playing sitar.

9:56am hyde:

packing for a move raises some interesting questions such as: for 8 years, why did we keep a pencil sharpener with the coffee cups

9:57am coelacanth:

i missed the numbers set. were all those sitar-based blues?

9:57am coelacanth:

[kidding]

9:58am Uncle Michael:

We can pretend this isn't 'Scorpio', ok?

9:58am Uncle Michael:

But I hope Dennis Coffey got paid.

9:59am coelacanth:

hyde, i always wonder why i do certain things too.

9:59am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! none is the number!

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Don't think for a moment that I haven't noticed the Pledge-O-meter creep from 8% to 11%.

Thank you!

10:00am Jesse K:

Morning! I heard you were playing some sitars?

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

And we're all wearing leotards, Jesse K!

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

the netherlands oats!

10:02am Jesse K:

Great! So glad I found my people!

10:03am Jesse K:

Happy to say I'm listening to you on my repaired laptop this morning!

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

That's fantastic, Jesse K! I'm so happy for me (and you)!

10:04am coelacanth:

more sitars on the horizon.

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Sitar Event Horizon, coming to a theatre near you.

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME EXPERIMENT ALERT...
This is the last song of the set. Up next will be my talkover music — and you get to decide between two tracks which will play during the mic break. I will play snippets from both tracks and your comments in this space will determine which track I will use.

10:08am Jeff Golick:

Two

10:08am melinda:

Track 1

🥁

10:08am listener james from westwood:

Track 2!

10:09am Jeff Golick:

Uh-oh.

10:09am hyde:

track 1!

10:09am Stanley:

Track number one, no wait two,two, no, one. Two no, one
ONE
I think

10:09am Ramblin' Ray:

10:09am coelacanth:

this is more responsibility than i'm equipped for.

10:09am Jesse k:

Can you do them both?

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

I have stunned you to silence. Should I bring back the sitars?

🥁

10:30am doctorjazz:

I really liked the David Pike, I'll vote for that one (if voting is still open).

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry, doctorjazz. You have to show ID to vote. And we just closed the polling station, even though there's still a long line of people waiting to exercise their franchise.

10:33am Erella:

This version of Once In A While is gorgeous. Thank you.

10:33am Little Danny:

You're nailing it with this bop set, Doug

10:34am Ramblin' Ray:

The saxes are weaving their spell

10:34am annie:

i'm a little confused, doug, this is the part of the show in which you play the jazzier jazz pieces. good thing i have a clock!

10:35am hyde:

sitar set. saxophone set. looking forward to the sousaphone set.

10:38am Listener Gregory:

I missed the first set today (and the second...), but may I make a plug for Skip James's 22-20 blues for the next numerical blues feature?

10:40am ndbob:

and the Chimes doowop version

10:45am Mike East:

Bob's gonna put somebody's eye out with those dangling guitar strings. Somebody get that guy a wire cutter!

🥁

10:46am listener james from westwood:

Damn, and here I am without my dinner jacket and dancing shoes.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
That Skip James number got left on the cutting room floor.

G'morning, Mike East!

10:49am coelacanth:

i'm psyched for the kalimba set. i didn't hear a single one on kalimbas day.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

I could do 10 hours of kalimba, coalacanth. Don't tempt the beast!

🥁

10:53am doctorjazz:

Technical detail...I have noticed on your show, the volume when you speak is much lower than the music volume, have to turn up my radio to hear you, then I get blasted when the music comes back. Don't know if anyone else has this. I use the pop up from a PC connected to a clock radio.

10:53am coelacanth:

i would not change the station!

🥁

10:54am Sam Segal:

Hola, @Doug and fellow Dougists.

10:54am Kris Holmes:

tuned in

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
No, it is surely just me setting crappy levels. I've only been at it for 36 years. I will figure this all out some day.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Sam Segal/Kris Holmes back-to-back. That's some serious DJ fire power right there!

10:58am mauri:

crappy levels makes good radio

10:59am coelacanth:

Gregory (@1038) also 32-20 (RJ) - but i figured Doug wouldn't be Doug if he didn't avoid the more well-known songs.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Don't let me off the hook that easily, mauri.

11:00am earrie:

Thanksgiving came and went early, here, this year. A harvest of thanks to you and your show, Doug.

11:00am Little Danny:

Wow this Claustrofobia is excellent

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Claustrofobia:

Backing Vocals, Keyboards – Mᵃ José Peña
Band – Antoni Baltar, Mᵃ José Peña, Pedro Burruezo
Drum Machine, Percussion – Antoni Baltar
Featuring [Guiest Collaborator] – Ragnampizza
Vocals – Ragnampizza
Vocals, Bass Guitar – Pedro Burruezo
Written-By – Pedro A Burrezo

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Whoops, I forgot to say HEY THERE, earrie. I saw you flash by and then got distracted.

HEY THERE, EARRIE!

11:06am Flash Strap:

morning doug, drummers, what a fine place to be

11:07am earrie:

Hiya. Grateful to be listening this here morningk.

11:08am Listener Gregory:

Coelacanth, I think what we need is a new set of blues songs with double numbers, like 22-20, 32-20, and so on. I don't know of any more, but Doug probably has a list.

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

Dr. Strap!

11:09am annie:

@ drjazz: yes, i just am in the habit of lowering the volume then setting it back up for the mic stuff.

11:11am Listener Gregory:

Perhaps it would be best to start at "01-01 blues" and work up to "99-99 blues," in order.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe we could have Jonathan Borofsky guest-host, Listener Gregory!

11:16am coelacanth:

can they be drum & kalimba based? otherwise i can't help much!

11:16am Parq:

Here for the tail end. Dylan's deserving a lit award, let alone Alfred's, is up for debate, but I love it because, like so much else, it's making the right wing entertainingly apoplectic.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Part of the problem with the inconsistent levels is that the quality of the MP3s I play are all over the map. It requires more wrangling and levels monitoring than I am providing. I should do better (I tell myself practically every week.)

Good welcome, Parq! I'd enjoy watching right-wing veins throb with you.

11:23am hyde:

okay, thanks for the tunes. gotta go out for supplies. will return for some hinky and dinky.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

bye-dky hydky!

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

The Library of Congress just sent out this tweet:

The evacuation drill for all Capitol Hill buildings of the Library of Congress has concluded. The buildings have reopened to the public.

11:29am Dean:

Beats a 140-character "Shu-u-u-u-sh!"

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

That would be:

Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush!

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Someone please count and make sure I got it right.

No don't. That would be silly.

11:32am Dean:

Worse than the grammar police, the tweet character count police.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

I hope you all can join me and Doc Pomus at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:34am Doc Pomus:

Damn. I thought I was gonna take a nap.

11:35am earrie:

To hell with expertise in brevity. Lowest common denominat

11:38am Uncle Michael:

Doug in sequins.

11:40am Uncle Michael:

good mood

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
I think "character count" should be hyphenated since it is modifying "police."

11:40am Ben Zobrist:

Why am I not surprised, Uncle Michael?

11:42am Munenori Kawasaki:

I don't know, Doug. Why are you not surprised?

11:43am Parq:

Are the Metaphors are real group or just an expression?

11:44am Munenori Kawasaki:

Were they on the same label as The Analogies and The Similes?

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Six more hours of live radio are all set for your earitainment! First up is Hinky Dinky Time, with Uncle Michael. He will give you 110% of his full attention since the Cubs aren't on the telly.

Hinky Dinky Time playlist: wfmu.org...

Then following at 3pm is Jason Elbogen, live from Studio C at WFMU with his supertastic radio show:

Playlists: wfmu.org...

11:46am Dean:

I plead guilty. I sped right through that comment.

Reminds me of my favorite local banner, which appears a couple times a year: GIANT LIBRARY BOOK SALE. What is GIANT modifying?

11:46am earrie:

Impossible to draw any sort of comparison on that label, I imagine.

11:46am coelacanth:

i've been intermittent all morning but i need to get down to it. (outside work)
so Thanks Doug!

- later on y'all

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@coelacanth
So now you'll be outermittent?

11:48am Giant:

Mmmmm, boooooks. Me love boooooks!

11:49am Marie:

Love the bass on this. Howdy Doug (and all). Great show!

11:50am Dean:

The Metaphors are the bee's knees, the icing on the cake, and like the world, a stage upon which all the men and women are merely players.

11:50am Dean:

Have you ever tried to play a merely?

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
I think you meant the bees' knees.

Hello, Marie!

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Our next selection is by a fellow named Elbie. I wonder if he knows Jason Elbogen?

11:51am Dean:

You thought! I was talking about *that* bee right there.

🥁

11:52am doctorjazz:

Great show, thanks Doug!

11:53am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug and DrumSums. We are all waiting here for the elusive raindrop as portended.

11:54am Munenori Kawasaki:

Elusive Butterrfly>Elusive Hurricane>not-so-elusive raindrops.

11:55am Dean:

Ray Bradbury, "A Sound of Thunder."

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Would dearly absolutely L O V E to get the pledge-o-meter up past 11%. Really need your help, friends.

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Just... Don't Pity Me

11:57am Dean:

I'm on it.

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some just was awarded the No-Bull Prize by nobody!!

12:00pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

You pitied me, Uncle Michael. Just a bit. I could tell.

12:01pm Ramblin' Ray:

Thanks for the good vibes Doug

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

Many thanks, Doug!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

'Twas my sublime pleasure! Thank you all for hanging out and getting down!

9:33am DJ Trump:

A rigged vote. Dirty Doug, he has no place in this in this election. Send the non-native sitars back to whence they came.

🥁

9:54am Brian in UK:

There are two kinds of pity. One, the weak and sentimental kind, which is really no more than the heart's impatience to be rid as quickly as possibe of the painful emotion aroused by the sight of another's unhappiness, that pity which is not compassion, but only an instinctive desire to fortify one's own soul against the sufferings of another; and the other, the only kind that counts, the unsentimental but creative kind, which knows what it is about and is determined to hold out, in patience and forbearance, to the very limit of its strength and even beyond. Stefan Zweig

🥁

9:58am Brian in UK:
