WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 06/02/17

Listener comments!

8:35am annie:

in the still of this i thought it was a burger.. good morning all!

8:41am Doug Schulkind:

You can practically hear it sizzling, annie. Good morningburger!

8:45am annie:

oh yes, breakfast: 2 pieces of rye toast, one-eyed with an egg in each. and small dose of bacon..

8:46am Doug Schulkind:

Egg fried in the center of rye toast? How very Parisienne of you, annie!

8:47am annie:

mais, oui!

🥁

8:51am listener james from westwood:

Always appreciate the rye commentary on these playlists.

🥁

8:53am doctorjazz:

Seems something has gone awry...
Hey, drummers!

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

The good ol' boys were eating omelets and rye, Listener James!

Here's your scalpel, doctorjazz. Let's operate!

8:56am ausmanx:

and i was thinking it looked like a cheese sculpture. good evening, all.

🥁

8:56am Brian in UK:

Hello Boss and fellow devotees. Is a Runcible Spoon of any use?

8:56am annie:

i hope you said that with a smirk, LJ

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
If it were a cheese sculpture, Han Bennink would be playing it!

I loved Brian & the Runcibles. Their early records, before the sold out.

9:01am Maggie B.:

bread with an egg in the middle is a Parsienne thing? For some bizarre reason, my husband's family called this "eggs in the army". i don't think anyone else on the planet calls it that.
Morning you guys!

9:01am ausmanx:

brian, a runcible spoon is always useful for any percussionist. fresh from two nights of chris corsano at my house, doug... amazing. and now tony buck's staying with us, so it's drummer central just now...

🥁

9:02am listener james from westwood:

@annie: Always!

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Bon jour, Mother Maggie!

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
Maybe the Drummer Stream should just mic your house and let it run?

9:04am mauri:

I didnt eat much eggs till this spring. Now Ive had em almost everyday. I feel egglier.

9:08am ausmanx:

well, you know doug, when you next visit sydney...

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Did someone egg you on, mauri?

9:10am Ike:

Morning. There's an Indian restaurant in Jersey City called Eggmania. You can tell it's authentic because some of the egg curries come with three slices of buttered white bread.

9:10am mauri:

the corporal egg.

🥁

9:11am doctorjazz:

Great old blues.

🥁

9:11am duke:

Heel Drummers and other egg people

9:11am Mr C:

Pittsburgh not Paris: a Mean Joe Greene meme, a Woody Allen movie, Johnny Daye's memorial? OR Give the Drummer Some!!

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Ike, hello! Hello, duke!

9:12am Mayuko:

Good morning! Slower morning than usual today, and glad to get to tune in live!

🥁

9:13am doctorjazz:

Allman's Ramblin' Man to come?

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Slow Mayuko! Good daybreak, Fast Mr C!

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
This set totally inspired by the Allman's "Ramblin' Man," but I'll be playing other Allman tracks later.

9:18am Ramblin' Ray:

Did someone call my name? Greetings drummer people all!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Happy (continuing) birthday, Mayuko!

9:23am Mayuko:

Oh, thank you Doug! I was scheduled to born on June 8th, so it's still birthday-ish week for me. It just seems like I came to this world in haste.
AND TO YOU TOO! Happy continuing birthday, Doug!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

You have been summoned, Ramblin' Ray! (Which is better than being summonsed.)

🥁

9:25am Brian in UK:

Summoned by Bells was a John Betjemen poetry collection in lieu of nothing much. Just like the image.

9:25am ausmanx:

heard this week that the Allmans first big non-local show was supporting the Velvet Underground. now that would have been a night to behold...

9:28am thedunkel:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer! Good morning all!

9:28am d:

sounds like what tom waits tries to do with his fake "old blues man" singing

9:32am Uncle Michael:

I'll be playing all the same songs as Doug, in case you miss them.

9:35am annie:

ok, it appears that no work is coming my way this morning and the sun is beckoning... so: patio, book, coffee, and drummer in the background..

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, thedunkel and d!

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Hello my dear brother Uncle!

9:37am Uncle Michael:

howdy

9:49am d:

thanks - love the show.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

My pleasure, d. More love to come!

9:52am coelacanth∅:

hello Doug and all

9:54am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Hey everyone, have you met your Andrew Waterloo?

Hell∅, coelacanth∅!

9:56am Mr C:

Whoa. A Charles Tyler listening event. Rare indeed.

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Charles Tyler is so much better here than when he was singing for Aerosmith. Just my opinion.

🥁

9:59am doctorjazz:

Great track, this Man Alone. The bass particularly jumped out at me, so I checked Discogs (true OCD), 2 bass players listed:
Brent McKesson, Kent Brinkley
?both playing? Think so...

🥁

10:00am doctorjazz:

(now that there is bowed bass, obvious there are 2 basses...a cello is listed in personnel as well, but not on this track)

10:01am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
Good catch! You're right, cellist Dave Baker plays only on one (other) track on this record.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

Great to see you, ndbob!

10:05am Mark the Sardine:

Quite a track

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

I think you'll dig this one, too, Mark the Sardine!

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Here is a nice Allman piece to read whilst listening, if you like: www.oxfordamerican.org...

🥁

10:12am doctorjazz:

Need I say, I'm loving this set!

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

This ROVA track comes courtesy of our good doctor, doctorjazz who sent it to me this past week. Thanks, doc!

🥁

10:14am βrian:

Continuing on the piscine theme, I had some mighty fine mackerel in olive oil last night.

10:14am Mr C:

That's a great Allmans story. Reading Big O book, which is not quite all that. But worth reading. A little condescending..

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Also from Oxford American is Amanda Petrusich's lovely Allman piece from 2016: www.oxfordamerican.org...

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Did you eat partially mackeral, βrian?

10:18am ndbob:

Amanda wrote a great book on 78 collectors

10:19am βrian:

[I am not getting it ...]

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Yup, ndbob. So glad she is appearing in the New Yorker now.

🥁

10:21am βrian:

Why did she stop at 78?

10:21am ndbob:

as in 78 rpm - who tend to be the most obsessive collectors of all

🥁

10:22am βrian:

Not the wax cylinder folks? I wouldn't know.

10:22am Little Danny:

mornin' Doug and all

10:23am ndbob:

Tho some 78 collectors do collect cylinders

10:23am ndbob:

hi Danny

10:31am Little Danny:

Nice! "God Rest His Soul" is such a stunner

10:31am coelacanth∅:

rest in peace Gregg, and the Allman brothers

10:32am Uncle Michael:

According to Gregg's autobiography, he sold the rights to "God Rest His Soul" *and* "Melissa" to Steve Alaimo for $600.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

Little Danny is here, y'all!

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
And then the Allman's manager later bought 50% of songs back!

10:33am Uncle Michael:

yes

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

How many songs have been sold for the price of a case of beer.

10:35am Stanley:

🥁

10:36am Brian in UK:

Is it fifty years since I bought Sgt Pepper?
Is it forty nine and a half years since I sold Sgt Pepper?

10:36am Andrew Waterloo:

Jake: Where's the Cadillac? Elwood: I traded it for a microphone Jake: OK.

🥁

10:36am Brian in UK:

Stanley reverse the figures.

10:37am coelacanth∅:

hopefully no one will keep trying to capitalize on a legacy that never once has been lived up to since Duane died.

10:38am Stanley:

Doug, friends. I made it.

10:38am Andrew Waterloo:

Paul McCartney encouraged Michael Jackson to invest in publishing, to buy some songs! MJ bought the Beatles catalog.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

ausmanx mentioned the Velvet Underground earlier. A wonderful VU cover is coming up next.

10:40am coelacanth∅:

what i read is that Paul laughed when Michael told him he'd buy Paul's songs....i imagine nervously.

10:42am Stanley:

@Brian - I'm sure you could get hold of the deluxe, fifty years anniversary re-issue complete with book and commemorative poncho.
If you're missing it.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Stanley, you are a maker, not a taker.

🥁

10:43am doctorjazz:

Has anyone heard the Beatles Sgt Pepper Stereo remixes? Heard some of them on Fresh Air last night; kinda weird, didn't do much for me.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

This track was recording at Dino's 1968 sessions for Epic, but wasn't included on the original LP. It's eight minutes long, but it is amazing.

10:45am coelacanth∅:

the Dino V song is Most Excellent

10:46am Listener Gregory:

Sgt. Pepper's was like 40 min long. Therefore, the 50th Anniversary Edition must be 4 CDs long. Plus DVD.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Listener Gregory, awwwwwyeeeeeah!

10:48am coelacanth∅:

i don't care to hear any remixes or remasters - in general, in fact.

....i want that poncho though!

🥁

10:49am Brian in UK:

Stanley, oddly never missed it. Took me a few years to realise that Revolver & Rubber Soul were the best. But those were the times. You could not go anywhere in London without hearing it in 1967.

The term 'bonus tracks' immediately puts me off.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Just a parlour trick to get people to buy what they already own.

10:54am coelacanth∅:

in my life, pepper has gotten well-less than 1/2 the plays of each of the majority of other beatles albums, but it was pretty ground-breaking at the time.

🥁

10:55am Brian in UK:

A commemorative coffee table might go down well.

I think this one takes the biscuit with the faux Alphonse Mucha Princess Hyacinth cover.
en.wikipedia.org...

10:55am Listener Gregory:

What puts me off in reissues is the 75-page booklet. Oh, and now the CD doesn't fit in any known CD case in the world.

10:56am Uncle Michael:

If only Frank Capra had CGI. If only DaVinci had Photoshop. If only Shakespeare had spellcheck. If only George Martin had Pro-Tools. Just think of what they might have accomplished.

10:56am Stanley:

Brian, my old man used to work in Soho back then, walked down Carnaby Street every day, saw the sights, smelt the smells and despite all that he seems to have gone through the 'swinging sixties' without them having any effect on him whatsoever.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hackamore Brick. Park Slope represent!

10:57am Stanley:

I much preferred the cover to 'We're only in it for the Money'

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

Stanley, did he wear a bowler hat?

🥁

10:58am Brian in UK:

This Dion could be a Roy Orbison song.

10:58am Stanley:

Haha, good one, Brian. Unfortunately not.

10:58am Little Danny:

I am not a Beatles superfan I still rate Pepper's at #1, a smidge higher than Revolver, even despite "Tomorrow Never Knows," my fave fab four track

10:59am Uncle Michael:

Lovely set, Doug.

11:01am ndbob:

I have to say I'm really disappointed by that Dion record - that song is pretty good - but overall the album doesn't come close to living up to all the hype about it

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Wow, I robustly disagree. I think it is a miraculous collection.

11:07am ndbob:

@Doug I think most do - and I think I might have been more impressed without all the hype - is Dion's version of Spoonful on it? I know the 45 is from that time - and it's great

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

That's what makes horse races.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

Hype is a powerful factor to process. It didn't put me off in this case. (Spoonful is not on this release.)

11:10am coelacanth∅:

i was going to say that i'm surprised that i really like that dion track ("now") because what else (which is very little) i've heard from the album i thought was inferior mimicry of Dylan, Ochs, etc...
(it probably does help my objectiveness that i think his commercial material was utter wombat shit.)

11:11am Uncle Michael:

The one problem I have with the hype around the record is this notion that Dion foreshadowed (or invented) folk-rock. To me, the record demonstrates that *Tom Wilson* had the blueprint for folk-rock in hand when he got Dylan into the studio to record "Bringing It All Back Home".

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Sister Rosetta Tharpe invented folkrock. Everyone knows that.

11:12am ndbob:

I love most of Dion's commercial material - Here is Spoonful - check it out later www.youtube.com...

🥁

11:12am doctorjazz:

It's always hard to shut out the hype and get an opinion not colored by it. The worst thing to hear is that something is "the greatest ever" of its type; I'm often disappointed by the real article.

11:13am ndbob:

Good point UM

11:14am Listener Gregory:

Perhaps if the Dion CD came with a 50-page booklet with three essays and never-before-seen photos, we would all get it.

11:15am coelacanth∅:

the overwhelming majority of hype i'm exposed to comes via wfmu, and i seem to be mostly uninfluenced by it, despite my disappointment in the hype itself.

11:18am coelacanth∅:

ndbob, i do want to hear that, though not now. what i was referring to was "runaround sue", "the wanderer", and that kind of sexist drivel.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Well said, Listener Gregory.

11:19am Uncle Michael:

If I rejected all rock and roll that was sexist drivel...

🥁

11:21am βrian:

We've been playing the crap out this Rodriguez at home lately. Can't seem to get sick of it.

11:21am coelacanth∅:

i'm usually into it when a reissue comes with a giant booklet, if it's actually informative.

UM, of course! but those songs don't have much else going for them either.

11:21am Stanley:

Rodriguez - not a guilty pleasure at all.

11:22am ndbob:

Sorry Coelacanth - I love that music - "Sexist drivel? don't think so

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
These Rodriguez sides are sublime.

11:22am Stanley:

'A monkey in silk is a monkey no less'
Brilliant!

🥁

11:23am sinner:

....stumbling in late. Afterparty last night......

11:23am ndbob:

Well to each his own

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Brother sinner! You've hopped the joyride mid-ride. Have some joy!

11:26am Jeff Golick:

Better late than...

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome to Neverneverland, Jeff Golick!

11:28am Stanley:

Far out set, Doug.

11:29am Uncle Michael:

www.wfmu.org...

Top of the hour. You know the drill.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael's House of Dentistry, apparently.

11:30am jessie:

wow, back to your own high school music roots.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

I feel like I'm about 13, jessie. For the past hour or so.

🥁

11:34am listener james from westwood:

Must jet out for a bit; thanks mightily and will catch the last chunk in the archives!

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Put your tray table and seat-back in their original an upright position, Listener James!

11:40am Little Danny:

Oh man I love this Prince Conley. Can't imagine I'll ever have the original 45

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

I have the original MP3, Little Danny!

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of can't understand a word she say, I can understand what the hell Mr. Carter is saying. She got a mouth full of WHAT?

What's he saying?!?

11:42am Little Danny:

So do I. Even that's gotten expensive!

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

She's always got a mouthful doubt?!

11:43am d:

i thought it was "mouth poked out"

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

I've bumped this Hunt's Band instrumental from the last three shows due to time. Thrilled to finally get it in!

11:46am George from Bristol UK:

Just read 'Brian in UK' @10:36 comments. Two of the LP releases of May 26 1967 were 'Sgt. Pepper' and 'Absolutely Free'. I bought one of them. I still have it. Guess which one it was, you mothers ? I never bought the other one, on any format. Beat that.

11:47am Mr C:

Miami funk. The drummer and bass are killers

🥁

11:48am sinner:

Anyone wanna off this single to me for less than 200?

11:49am Little Danny:

This is an absolutely massive set, Doug

11:49am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

I love Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time radio show. It makes me happy. I recommend you tune in and get (or stay) happy, too.

His program begins in 10 minutes. It runs for three blissful hours.

His playlist page is here: wfmu.org...

11:50am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Rest in peace, Benjy Melendez.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

I never dreamed you'd leave in summer?

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Little Danny
If you're gonna do massive, don't be all half-assed about it. Amirite?!

🥁

11:53am Artie Haywire:

Lovely show, Doug.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Oh HEY, Artie!

11:55am Uncle Michael:

I'm going to go plump the cushions in the next room. See uo all shortly. Thanks for the music, Doug.

🥁

11:55am doctorjazz:

Thanks, Doug, till next week.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael will be paying tribute to Gregg Allman, next...

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Irma Thomas is authorized to speak for Give the Drummer Some. A message to you, my dear listeners.

🥁

11:58am Brian in UK:
