WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 10/28/16

Listener comments!

7:51am ausmanx:

not sure how long i'll be able to look at that GIF and retain my sanity, but perhaps retaining sanity is not such a good thing these days

8:01am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
I have deployed Uncle Michael's Brain-Saving Toggle Device (BSTD) to eliminate to the headache-inducing GIF. Your sanity is now entirely up to you.

8:10am ausmanx:

the technological sophistication of the Drummer team is a thing of wonder. i recall you even allowed folks to change gif speed on a playlist recently. i think i'll invite you guys over when i next have computer troubles

8:13am Doug Schulkind:

Invite Uncle Michael. I would just molest your equipment further.

8:17am Uncle Michael:

Doug, you deployed! Huzzah!

8:23am Doug Schulkind:

I used it once before with a particularly gnarly GIF. The bigger problem is am I having computer issues that may knock me off the air today...

8:24am Uncle Michael:

uh oh

8:30am Doug Schulkind:

Well, I've got things patched back the way I had it in the Dark Ages and it should work.

🥁

8:39am doctorjazz:

Hey all, love the GIF (and the ability to stop it).
My family has deserted me tonight, thinking of going to this concert after work...

OCTOBER 28, 2016 - 8PM
MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS TRIO
Featuring:
Dr. Muhal Richard Abrams - piano
Tom Chiu - violin
Meaghan Burke - cello
* * *
BLUIETT MUSIC
Featuring:
Hamiet Bluiett - baritone saxophone
D.D. Jackson - piano
James Brandon Lewis - tenor saxophone
Reggie Nicholson - drums
Luke Stewart - bass

Of course, I probably should just go home and take care of the stuff I've been putting off, I'll see how much energy I have to deal with going to Manhattan (and if tickets are still available if I do get the get up and go...)

🥁

8:43am doctorjazz:

(seen Abrams and Bluiett multiple times, but not in a while. Never seen D.D. Jackson, like him on recordings)

8:43am Gary:

Ah, when I got here the GIF wasn't GiFfing, but I see that when you click on it, it GIFs. That said, I have clicked back on it to stop it from GIFfing, and that's probably where it will stay.

8:43am Thelonious Funk:

Hello Drummers! So this is what pink noise looks like!

🥁

8:45am Brian in UK:

Hello is this the early byrd section?

@doc I am home alone all weekend. Wife and daughters meeting up for christmas shopping capers. Play the gig by ear, so to speak.

🥁

8:46am doctorjazz:

@Brian in UK-it's Ladies Night Out in my house as well.

🥁

8:48am doctorjazz:

(the men in my household are myself and my dog, Ozzie). We can just do some male bonding)

🥁

8:49am doctorjazz:

Is male bonding still OK in the age of Trump? I think he's damaged it considerably.

🥁

8:49am Brian in UK:

Difficult bonding with five chickens, three cats and a dog. Me, the only one still with their nuts.

🥁

8:50am doctorjazz:

Ozzie lost his, but he doesn't see to know it (still loves to mount anything).

🥁

8:51am Brian in UK:

Even more worrying the comments from Tony Schwartz.

8:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hey doc, Gary, Thelonious, Brian, Ozzie, chickens!

🥁

8:52am Brian in UK:

Bok, bok, bok, bok & bok.

8:54am Stanley:

Yowza!
Christ, it's all action, here.

🥁

8:54am doctorjazz:

Wuf!

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

Gotta go dash and grab some — I was not going to say THAT!! Some breakfast. Be right back.

8:55am ausmanx:

we lost our fish this week; hoping for something on the playlist in memory of Tom and Arsene...

🥁

8:59am Brian in UK:

ausmanx, sorry to hear that. Both go together?

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

We save you a doughnut, Stanley.

9:00am Stanley:

Thanks, Doug H Nut

9:01am annie:

up behind aus in the request line: something to calm my nerves over this standing rock thing...

🥁

9:01am Brian in UK:

Has anyone ever been to Fairbanks, Alaska? If so, is it worth a visit?

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Now we have something resembling stereo. Had to whack the cables. We're running on a back-up system to get the show of the ground today. Very upsetting, but so far...working.

9:02am Maggie B.:

good morning! so happy to be in this oasis of sanity with you guys today.

🥁

9:03am doctorjazz:

Sounding fine on the opening on this end.

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Mother Maggie B! The woman who adopted me in my time of need!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Say hi to Mr. Bluiett if you go, doctorjazz! He doesn't know me and will look at you strangely. But I'm OK with that.

9:04am Mr C:

Count it off right now, 1-2-3-4, Hit me Drummer, Hit Me....

🥁

9:04am listener james from westwood:

Happy Friday, listeners and Doug! Sounding clear on this side of the cables!

9:04am mauri:

drum this cough n flu outta ma body

9:05am ausmanx:

yep, brian, small one went first, big one the next day (and the big one was a good few kilos). something in the damn water...

🥁

9:08am Brian in UK:

ausmanx, does sound like the water. Bugger.

9:09am Mr C:

Doug I can give a little more. Hit you off line. Usual way. Talk the talk. Walk the walk.

🥁

9:09am Brian in UK:

mauri was it you that gave me this cold or did I give it to you. Crap.

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Mr C, we don't hit but we play the hits!

mauri, place your lungs against your radio...

Listener James, delighted you've stopped by. (Deliriously delighted.)

9:10am mauri:

Brian, did it start on sunday evening?

9:10am mauri:

Doug I rather not crush my laptop.

9:13am Mr C:

Clefs guy is doing a total Sam..

🥁

9:13am Brian in UK:

mauri, Thursday last week, getting tired of it now.

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you thank you, Mr C!

mauri, I understand. You have two lungs but only one laptop.

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

This Mighty Sons record is on Fine Records. I wrote a piece about this label and its owner in WFMU's blog, here: blog.wfmu.org...

🥁

9:19am Brian in UK:

Doug, my last effort just went to you. I see no movement on the % scale though.

9:20am Mr C:

The Soul Brother Six ("Some Kind of Wonderful") were from Rochester as well.

9:22am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone! a little late today

9:23am Dave in Vermont:

Jesus knows where.

🥁

9:23am listener james from westwood:

Now here is a mix of talent I never would've guessed existed!

9:24am ndbob:

for sure James

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Just in time for Jimmy Durante, ndbob! And HOWDY, Dave in Vermont!

----------

I seriously question whether the pledg-O-meter is actually working at this point. So if you pledge and see no movement, I am CERTAIN the pledge is going into WFMU's happy place. It just might not be graphically represented on the pledge thingy.

I am SO sorry about that! But keep pledging!

9:26am Mr C:

Let's move the needle!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

I have Part 2 to this Wayne Pyzer oddity, but I am going to spare you.

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Related to doing a "total Sam": Johnnie Taylor is next.

9:30am Goyim in the AM:

Mr. Pyzer, like Jack Chick, now KNOW.

🥁

9:31am listener james from westwood:

See if something just came through the pledge-o-meter.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Goyim in the AM! Mr. Chick is visiting with Mr. Pyzer right about now!

9:32am Mr C:

"Friends, inquisitive friends" is such a great song opener..

9:33am Stanley:

If Brian's in again, so am I.
And wooo, I nudged the meter on.

🥁

9:34am duke:

Hello Doug and Drummers

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Up to 19%. MOVEMENT!

Thank you, Listener James!
Thank you, Brian in UK!
Thank you, Mr. C!

Speaking for all of WFMU, I am GRATEFUL!

9:36am Jeff Golick:

Calgon, take me away.

And by Calgon, I mean Doug, and the radio, and the wider WFMU/GTDR community.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Doesn't Calgon defeat Superman in the 171st episode?

Good morning, Jeff Golick!

🥁

9:38am listener james from westwood:

Hey now, is Brother Kevin Nutt in the house? :D

🥁

9:40am Brian in UK:

Stanley, is Mr Thomas in your house?

🥁

9:41am doctorjazz:

OK, I'm in, we must support The Best Radio Station In The Nation, my computer blocks the meter, though.

9:42am Stanley:

He certainly is, complete with his mellifluous baritone voice.
Saving it for a quiet moment.
Thanks again.

9:43am Gary:

Turkish 45s sounds like a promising site :)

9:43am Jeff Golick:

@doctorjazz: where is that Muhal/Hamiet show?

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

I know, right Gary!?!

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Well THANK YOU, doctorjazz for prescribing some Vitamin P!

9:48am Thelonious Funk:

Deliyim Seviyorum means I'm crazy and in love :D

🥁

9:49am doctorjazz:

@Jeff
8 p.m., Community Church of New York, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan, 800-838-3006, aacm-newyork.com.
In the NY Times Jazz listings today.
Sounds pretty good, no? (Abrams and Bluiett are getting on in years, though. Quite some time since I've seen them perform).

9:49am Stanley:

Selçuk 'Abba' Alagöz

🥁

9:51am Brian in UK:

Rumours of an ABBA reunion came to nowt. Phew.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

I'll leave ABBA to the professionals. (In other words, Uncle Michael.)

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Thelonious Funk
Thanks for the translation!!

9:53am Jeff Golick:

@drjazz: yeah, that's the main AACM in NY venue, I guess. I've seen Muhal there a few times. Never seen Bluiett. Muhal is 86!!

9:53am Stanley:

Love this Turkish pop-arab track.

9:54am melinda:

Morning all

9:54am Thelonious Funk:

Fun fact about Bulent Ersoy, She was a he. Now she's a transgender singer and is famous for her distinct voice and loved by the Turks.
Geceler Yarim Oldu means the nights became my only friend.

9:55am Stanley:

Trans in Turkey?
Go Bülent!

9:55am Thelonious Funk:

@Doug Anytime Doug, love the international vibe of GTDS.

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hi, melinda!!

@Thelonious Funk
Another great Turkish gender-smashing artist: the beloved Zeki Müren!

9:58am Thelonious Funk:

@Stanley Yeah, it's pretty surprising!
@ Doug Bingo! Zeki Muren has god like status in Turkey.

🥁

9:58am doctorjazz:

Seen Bluiett many times in a few contexts, with his own bands and the World Saxophone Quartet mostly, but others as well. He's only 76...

9:59am Stanley:

This set is nothing short of amazing.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Saw Bluiett perform solo once. It was long show; his stamina was, um, breathtaking.

10:03am Stanley:

Doug, would love you to work on a Nubian/Sudanese/Ethiopian crossover set.
(If such a thing exists)

🥁

10:03am Brian in UK:

Mackerel butties by the Galata Bridge. Staring out over the Bosphorous. I could take that right now.

10:05am Jeff Golick:

...and "Galata Bridge" makes me think of John Surman. I am beyond saving.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

We'll love you forever, Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Patsy Cline!

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
You won't have to twist my arm to do THAT set!

🥁

10:15am Brian in UK:

Like the flip side. Appropriate.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

This is a seriously crappy MP3, but I couldn't not play it. Right? RIGHT?!

10:17am Thelonious Funk:

Whats up with the heavy flanger use? lol.

🥁

10:18am Brian in UK:

Ten gallon turban?

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Thelonious F
I don't think that's a flange, it's a poor-quality MP3. Just as with this Crusader recording.

10:21am Little Danny:

I wish all of my low quality MP3s had sinus-clearing phasing like this!

10:21am Uncle Michael:

Was about to ask if the flanging is on this record in the signal path. I've heard a lot of bad MP3 but none of them ever flanged.

🥁

10:21am Brian in UK:

Sounds like phasing from the late Sixties.

10:23am Parq:

Sounded like a police-siren effect -- which fit the Wallace song.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

My guess is the original digitzer of those tracks did them out of phase.

🥁

10:24am βrian:

What kind of bottle, exactly, Connie?

10:24am Thelonious Funk:

@Doug strange, I have never heard bad quality mp3's flange but it could be the case with these recordings. Anyways it wasn't a turnoff, electro-country!

10:25am Uncle Michael:

It's back Doug.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

No, it was HUMAN ERROR. I somehow clicked the Flange button on my MP3 software.

What an idiot.

10:25am Little Danny:

I am genuinely pleased by this flanging artifactory.

🥁

10:25am listener james from westwood:

I was wondering why a pro-Wallace song sounded so rad!

10:25am Uncle Michael:

heh

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Honestly, I didn't even know it HAD a flange button.

Great, and now you're all missing the flange.

10:25am Uncle Michael:

I'm going to do a three hour "special effects" show soon.

10:26am Little Danny:

DOUG FOR GODSSAKE MORE FLANGE! DO IT AGAIN!

10:27am Little Danny:

YES YES YES

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

Just a taste, Little Danny. You KNOW how you get.

10:28am Thelonious Funk:

FLANGE FLANGE FLANGE! (CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!)

10:28am Little Danny:

I don't think my box of reactionary country 45s will ever sound the same again

🥁

10:29am Brian in UK:

Flange - euphemism for........

10:29am northguineahills:

I was expecting Snorting Dope and Smoking Coke....

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

Bobby Zehm is my No.1 especially for the flip.

10:32am still b/p:

(like a child speaking with shuddery gasps of crying wind-down)....an' computer takes forever to start up an' get first few things open an' I could see Preacher an' the Bear an' I wanted to hear a track with that name an' it was over by the time my player could staaaaart a several minutes agooo,...but the subsequent string of weirdness is like cookies of consolation. Now play something by the famous country clown, Flange-o McBanjo.

🥁

10:32am Brian in UK:

Love to hear The Spaniels singing Haemeroids in four part harmonies.

10:32am Thelonious Funk:

Best song of the setlist!

🥁

10:32am Brian in UK:

That's what six days on the road does for you.

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

@northguineauhills
That's where you would be wrong, Sir.

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Now here is where the flange comes in handy.

10:34am Stanley:

Preperation H - weren't they a punk band back in the seventies?

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Would the punk band Preperation H's first album have been called, I wonder?

🥁

10:35am Brian in UK:

Stanley that was the Piles of Croydon. Short lived band only wore cowboy chaps.

10:35am Jeff Golick:

"Hawg Frog" by Cray Fox from b/w River Song <--- it's like Thornton Burgess story up in here.

🥁

10:36am βrian:

@Doug: "Typo"?

10:36am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: hopefully not "Open up and bleed."

10:38am Jesse K:

Touch Mulholland Drive!

10:38am coelacanth:

good morning Doug and Drummers

🥁

10:42am βrian:

I'm sorry, Connie, but if that bottle is a Jeroboam of Chateau Pétrus, 1957, well ...

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Jesse K, you always make touch things first.

Güten morgen, coelacanth!

10:44am coelacanth:

Doug (@10:35) i'm more wondering what their no.2 album would be called.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Bottoms up, βrian!

Hey, that would be a good album name for Preparation H!

🥁

10:48am Brian in UK:

Doug, this is turning into a mother and father of a show. So, even more reason to PLEDGE.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
This program is practicing safe sax.

🥁

10:55am βrian:

I could stand a little raunchy sax, myself.

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

Doug, are these all Cuban labels?

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

This is a Belter.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Who wants flange?!?

10:59am Mike East:

I'd really like to listen this morning, but there's a salsa band rehearsing next to me and there's no way my tiny speakers can compete.

10:59am Parq:

Doug, is that domestic flange, craft, or imported?

10:59am Little Danny:

I WANT

10:59am Webhamster Henry:

This an oddity of a Space Oddity, alrighty.

🥁

10:59am listener james from westwood:

I always imagine the guy talking along on this track was sent to space by accident, like he was random ground crew who got locked in during launch.

10:59am Parq:

Mike East, I really think you ought to find the manager of that Dunkin and complain.

🥁

11:00am listener james from westwood:

Of course I'm taking all of this from his tone of voice, based on my decaying Spanish-language facility, so what do I know.

11:01am Dean:

According to Discogs, "After a company restructuring the [Belter] label was operated by the renamed company Discos Belter, S.A. till its defunctness in 1984." Hard to believe "defunctness" is even a word, but it is.

🥁

11:01am Brian in UK:

@james, verbs, adjectives, past historic tenses. and much more.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
Home brew.

@Little Danny
I already cut you off, buddy.

@Webhamster Henry
Thanks for your previous pledge, Sir!

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Should be "defunktness," no, Dean?!

11:02am Mike East:

Funny Parq...they do have a big thing of dunkin donuts coffee in there that I've been eyeing...hoping to snag some leftover when they finish

🥁

11:03am Brian in UK:

Brings me out in a thermonuclear sweat.

11:03am Parq:

Tom: I see dust, dust, I mean, Commander Tom to Earth
I can't see the Earth, can't see nothing because I have my mask upside down

www.lyricsmania.com...

11:03am Dean:

"Your royal defunktness!"

🥁

11:04am βrian:

OED earliest usage 1883: "This gave scepticism its crowning emancipation, finally hurling the miraculous into everlasting defunctness."

11:04am coelacanth:

yes i'd like some flange, please. -right in my face!

🥁

11:05am βrian:

His Orange Defunctness might be an apt title for a certain bloviating oaf.

🥁

11:07am Brian in UK:

Where is Spiro Agnew when you need him?

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

Spiro Agnew lived in a gated country club community (that had covenants on all the properties stiplulating you couldn't sell to "Negros") about a mile from where I grew up in Maryland.

11:10am Dean:

A JPEG for future programs? http://cdn.numerogroup.com/images/product_images/web/bobo-yy-belle-poque-in-upper-volta-1.jpg

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

Nice one, Dean! Which Numero comp is that from?

11:12am Dean:

55: http://www.numerogroup.com/products/bobo-yy-belle-poque-in-upper-volta

🥁

11:12am Brian in UK:

Is that a Mobylette?

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, now I see, just out: Bobo Yeye: Belle Epoque in Upper Volta

11:14am Dean:

When I was in library school a l-o-n-g time ago, my adviser was a scholar of Francophone African libraries. Maybe I should have offered to accompany her on one of her data collection trips. Records are data, aren't they?

11:14am Marie:

Howdy Doug! Love the GIF, love your show, love you! Happy Friday!

11:15am Jeff Golick:

Lower Volta always gets the shaft.

11:16am Dean:

Yeah, and this cat Shaft is a bad mother...

11:16am Gary:

Fadaul!

11:16am Parq:

Dean, my kid is in library school now, and the whole thing has been revamped in terms of what constitutes data. In fact, the school has changed the name -- it is now no longer a library degree, it is an "information" degree.

11:16am Jeff Golick:

SHUT YOUR MOUTH

(not you, Gary)

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

I am playing my scratchy old version of this and not the nice, new perfect digital copy I have. What a dope. No! Not a dope!

🥁

11:18am Brian in UK:

Let's hear it for Middle Volta. If that's alright with everyone.

🥁

11:18am Brian in UK:

Doug, this show is up to scratch.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Next week, I will be re-Volting.

11:19am Dean:

Parq: Indeed. Much has changed, and yet fundamental principles remain (or should remain) the same. I spent part of yesterday showing students how the digital tools they use are essentially their print predecessors shoehorned into a web site. Searching, finding, accessing all suffer if the data haven't been organized for the medium.

11:21am Gary:

Super rawkin set

🥁

11:22am βrian:

A lot of the young-uns are also taken aback to realize that the codex itself is a technological wonder.

11:23am ndbob:

@Doug Agnew's story is so bizarre and convoluted - in it wasn't for infighting among the Baltimore County Democratic machine, he never even would have been elected county executive

11:24am Dean:

True, βrian. A colleague at UCLA has been conducting research on undergrad students' preferred media for study, nationally and globally. Large numbers prefer books for focused study.

11:24am Uncle Michael:

I hope many of you can join me at the top of the hour for the comic possibilities that arise when I try to deftly cue three hour of 45s when all I can think about is the fact that tonight, THERE'S A WORLD SERIES GAME AT WRIGLEY FIELD.

wfmu.org...

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael with set his playlist font in Comic Sans.

11:26am ndbob:

I've really gotten hooked on eBooks though - not just for ease but because so much is only available that way

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

@Dean to quote CLR James who adapted Rudyard Kipling. "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?" Insert your own subject.

11:28am Parq:

Dean, my kid regularly rolls her eyes at people (and there are a lot of them) who say that there is no more need for librarians now that "we have the internet". Most amazing, and discouraging, is when parents say that about school librarians (which my kid aspires to be).

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

CLR James > a hero!

11:28am Alex In Illinois:

I'll be there Uncle Michael.

11:28am Parq:

UM, the fact that you could sit still long enough to type your 11:24 post is amazing enough to me.

11:29am Gary:

This set went from rawkin to xtreme rawkin

11:29am ndbob:

I was thinking the same thing Parq

11:30am Alex In Illinois:

I am jumping to a conclusion that people who say that there is no more need for librarians are people who never made much use of a library in the first place.

11:30am Dean:

Bless your child, Parq! Tell her it doesn't get better (the slights, I mean). But perhaps we'll turn a corner soon.

I know nothin' about cricket, except that Roy Harper did a good album about it, and the liner notes set out the rules.

🥁

11:31am βrian:

We'll no longer need schools, once we can get those usb ports working right — the ones cleverly placed just behind the ears.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Well hiya and howdy, Alex in Illinois!

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Favorite movie hero that never existed: Conan the Librarian

🥁

11:32am βrian:

I heard of one named Onan ...

11:32am Dean:

Hepburn & Tracy, "Desk Set." 'nough said.

🥁

11:33am Brian in UK:

Doug played by Charles Hawtrey.
www.rottentomatoes.com...

11:34am Parq:

Doug, you know that Weird Al Y included a "Conan the Librarian" sketch in his movie UHF, right? If not, it's probably on the Youtubes.

11:35am Dean:

Alex in Illinois: Amen, with one slight adjustment. They never *realized* they made much use of one.

11:35am ndbob:

@Alex yep - I've had arguments wiht someone in another chat who thinks that libraries are no longer needed

🥁

11:35am βrian:

For what it's worth, our local branch library has the highest vote count in the city, amongst early voting locations. And that includes City Hall.

11:36am Parq:

@Brian: "I dig a pygmy, by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf-Aids; Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats."

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
I did not know that. Guess I have to let go of that line. It's like when I usta say that my favorite band name never used was "Spatula" and then someone told me there was a band from North Carolina called Spatula. As the Bible says, there is nothing new under the sun.

🥁

11:36am Brian in UK:

Did I just hear someone say that?

11:36am Alex In Illinois:

@Dean: Oooh yeah! (about the never "realized").

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

Parq from The Fabs greatest album.

11:38am ndbob:

great one here Doug!

11:39am Carmichael:

Late Aloha, Doug, from the currently rain-soaked western region. Spahn and Sain are no longer with us, but 3 days of rain are likely.

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

Better late than a lot later, Carmichael.

11:40am Alex In Illinois:

About a couple decades ago, I discovered that the library has cookbooks. I checked out the Chicago Fireman's cookbook a few times, but they no longer have it.

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Alex got this image of you sliding down a pole into a vat of tomato soup.

11:43am Dean:

Cookbooks and ... RECORDS! In the pre-CD era I worked at a public library (and then later again during the CD era, too), where I first sampled the glorious Nonesuch Explorer series offerings. Still my favorite: Laxmi Tewari's "Turkish Village Music."

🥁

11:43am βrian:

@BUK: Can we work Monica Bellucci into that scene?

11:44am melinda:

Libraries forever.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

My favorite librarian in the movies: Marian Paroo ("Marian the librarian") in Music Man. Played by Shirley Jones.

11:44am Dean:

That Chicago Fireman's cookbook shoulda come with a CD, say, one by Spatula.

🥁

11:44am Brian in UK:

@βrian no idea who that is but I get your drift. Grubby but....

Hear hear, Melinda.

🥁

11:46am Brian in UK:

Dean there was an Irish group over here called The Bachelors. If you say if quickly.

11:46am still b/p:

Speaking of the good book, after months of drought, the heavy rain here today also feels, like, biblical.

I still have a cassette with recordings I made 30 years ago in a local library listening booth from their Chinese and Himalayan records.

11:47am Mr C:

19%??

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

What'd I screw up this time, Mr C?

🥁

11:48am Brian in UK:

Dean check Joe McGasko's show, all Elektra/Nonesuch the other week.
www.wfmu.org...

11:49am Mr C:

Pledge #

11:49am Alex In Illinois:

I used to check out records from my local library when I was a teen.

🥁

11:49am doctorjazz:

Almost done, fun show (and comments board, hard to keep up with at work, but fun to read)
Have a great weekend!

11:49am Dean:

Then there's the iconic library in literature, Borges' Library of Babel. (I'm ashamed to admit I have yet to read Eco's Name of the Rose.)

Favorite book of historical bibliography: Allan Stevenson, The Problem of the Missale Speciale. Devoured it one sitting in my library school library. Stevenson observes the shifting watermarks in an incunable. From the evidence he begins to deduce the procedure and chronology by which the book was made.

Heard that, Brian in UK! Great idea!

🥁

11:50am βrian:

Time to wield the pledge sledge?

🥁

11:51am Brian in UK:

Elias Canetti was a librarian.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

🥁

11:53am βrian:

The Librarian of Congress is a librarian.
Mirabile dictu!

11:53am Jeff Golick:

I made it a personal mission to find as many Nonesuch/Explorers in the NYPL and Brooklyn PL system last year. (I did not have a job.)

LIBRARIES 4 EVA.

🥁

11:54am doctorjazz:

Local library sells books and CD's once a year, usually check out what they have, find some good stuff.

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

....and his novel Auto Da Fe is centred round a LIBRARY.

11:55am Jeff Golick:

This seems a propos: What Does Jorge Luis Borges’ “Library of Babel” Look Like? An Accurate Illustration Created with 3D Modeling Software : www.openculture.com...

11:56am Dean:

Auto Da Fe. Another embarrassing lacuna in my reading. (Notice all the Latin I'm throwing around like I was Caesar or something?)

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

My Auto Da Fe needs a new carburetor.

11:56am Jeff Golick:

Kolettes was epic, @Doug. Very kool.

🥁

11:56am Brian in UK:

Well Doug, this was one gritty show with some serious crap interventions.
Thank you.

11:57am Dean:

That openculture thing is rad!

11:57am Alex In Illinois:

As a bunch of us were exiting a movie theater (in St. Louis) after seeing, "The Day After tomorrow", each of us was finding as many fault, plot holes, etc, my sister says: "... and that is NOT where the New York Public library keeps information on Tax Law ...".

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Yeah, that Kolettes is astonishing.

🥁

11:57am βrian:

When I hear "lacunae," I think of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Dear me.

🥁

11:58am Brian in UK:

@βrian What's your beef?

11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:59am Dean:

Lyrics from a Hollywood musical of the '40s: "When I hear 'lacunae,' I think of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy!"

11:59am Jeff Golick:

You make it seem too easy, @Doug. But the work is there. Thanks for patching this one together.

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

Swiss-cheese brain, as a concept, just gives me the creeps.

12:00pm Alex In Illinois:

My favorite beef is black angus.

12:01pm Ramblin' Ray:

Thanks Doug!

12:01pm Jesse K:

Thanks Doug!

12:01pm Dean:

My favorite beef is, "What? You can't use your turn signal?"

12:01pm Alex In Illinois:

See you at Uncle Michael's

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

You need angus management classes, Alex.

🥁

12:01pm Brian in UK:

Comments as off the wall as the music this week. Priceless.

12:03pm coelacanth:
