WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 03/01/19

Listener comments!

🥁

8:13am Brian in UK:

Pinch, punch first of the month.

What is Nesmith doing there?

8:20am Doug Schulkind:

Good afternoon, Brian in UK! It's Nesmith''s show, I believe. Remember the time I invited Oscar Peterson to come sledgehammer that baby grand on Give the Drummer Some? Ah, good times!

8:30am Uncle Michael:

rabbit rabbit

8:33am Doug Schulkind:

I sure hope Uncle Michael isn't playing the Glenn Close role in a Fatal Attraction.

8:50am ausmanx:

i know i'm too early, but we'll get off this silly summer time thing soon. just checking in to say hi, just back from the frozen wastes of toronto and georgian bay, and actually went to an ice hockey game. hope everyone's doing well!

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

It's never too early for ausmanx! And from the frozen wastes, no less. Hope you didn't take a puck to the face!

8:54am ausmanx:

we were hoping for some lofted puck action, but no joy. i could grow to like the game, though

🥁

8:54am Brian in UK:

Hey Ausmanx. Hear that you are having a heatwave downunder, so bit of a shock coming from cold to hot.

We have just had two visitors who are FMU devotees. The wonder of internet.

8:58am ausmanx:

you gotta stop being so accommodating, brian. these FMU interlopers don't take no for an answer. it's still hot here - i had a 50 degree turnaround in 24 hours, from 35 here to minus 15 in canada. bizarre. anyway, apologies but my work is done and i must head back over the bridge. see you in the archives, as the cardinal said to the choirboy...

8:59am chresti:

Hello

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Yippee, it's chresti!

🥁

9:03am duke:

Good morning Drummer and Drummers

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of choirboys, hello duke!

9:05am Asheville Jon:

hahaha, love the Liberace gif

🥁

9:07am Granny Spicy Tuna:

hare hare

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Granny Spicy Krishna!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Esteemed Asheville Jon, greetings! The playlist GIF today comes courtesy of Listener BobDC!

🥁

9:09am Granny Spicy Tuna:

hee hee! hadn't thought of that, i was just responding to Uncle Michael's "rabbit rabbit!"

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Hairy hare hare, har har!

🥁

9:11am sinner:

uncleMike please make coffee and drop a 30mg er addy in there for me.

🥁

9:12am dutchtheo:

Hello...Happy (ancient roman) new year...
On the first day of March it was raining. It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen. I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there. And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me
Shane MacGowan

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Master sinner!

9:14am fred:

Good morning Doug and listeners

🥁

9:14am doctorjazz:

Hey, Drummers!

9:15am still b/p:

Nesmith: "See that, Kirshner? Accidents happens, hammers, y'know, they swing. More control over the music for us, right? ...or you'll be talking to my smiley fancy boy here, see?"

🥁

9:16am Brian in UK:

That keyboard sure is smoking.

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Happy to see you, fred! You, too, doc! And, woop woop, still b/p as well. It's all coming together!

9:17am david w:

Stopping by for a while to fuel up for the day. Hello Doug, and all!

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Beloved david w! Fill 'er up, my friend.

9:24am Asheville Jon:

this music is a nice way to start the morning

9:26am still b/p:

Speaking of fuel and fills...
Heating oil delivered to my tank in error instead of upstairs neighbor's. My choice: pay the dealer or tell them to pump it out. Even with an offered discount and a (TBD) payment plan, that's more than $400 of surprise squeze dropped into my precarious Squeezeland where every dollar's watched and many expenses avoided. Yes, I'll need oil again anyway, but wouldn't be getting it right now or at that bruising bill level. I'm sure they won't welcome the pump-out demand. Not angry…mistakes happen, but now I’m the one who has to sort it out. Ha...Oh, sobby day.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe they can offer a payment plan. Since you don't need the oil right now, maybe they don't have to have the money right now? What a drag.

@Asheville Jon
That's what I'm shooting for (no live ammo, though).

🥁

9:32am Granny Spicy Tuna:

this is so pretty

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

I like pretty.

9:43am Ramblin' Ray:

Best greetings to all. More!

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

My ass is SHAKING to this one, oh yeah.

Glad to have you on board, Ramblin' Ray! Come, let's shake asses together.

9:47am Dave Sewelson:

It's oily in the morning.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the Free World! I bow low to you, Dave Sewelson.

9:52am Dave Sewelson:

I bow lower to you sir, Master of the Stream.

🥁

9:53am dutchtheo:

When Koaa by Eric Agyemang?

9:55am Mr C:

Is it just my imagination running away with me, or is the Drummer the baddest show on the radio!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

It may well be, dutchtheo. Thanks for hunting that down. The compilation I have did not identify the performers. I will investigate and rectify the playlist. (I hate not crediting the performers. HATE it.)

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Actually there is a show in Outer Mongolia that consistently rates badder. In fact, it's baddder.

9:57am Funky16Corners:

He speaks the truth. I just got my Swag For Life Yak in the mail

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

The guitar sound on this number is outrageous. It sounds like a electronically altered harpsichord.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

I was going to say electronically stimulated harpsichord, but then I started to blush.

🥁

10:07am dutchtheo:

i like hunting down unidentified and (identified) performers... www.discogs.com... ...Bai Janha aka "Sweet Fingers" (the composer, arranger, and guitar player of Guelewar, Ifang Bondi, and Karantamba) electronically stimulated harpsichord

10:12am Alex In Illinois:

Back in 1988, I bought a Moussa Doumbia record at that record store that is or was in a New York city subway station.

🥁

10:14am Artie:

Loverly!

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Alex in Illinois and Artie in not Illinois!

I loved that store, Alex. Bought a ton of salsa there over the years.

10:22am Sem:

The name of my first band in highschool was Grinning Liberace Sledgehammer.

Greets, Doug, the hookey-playing schulkinder, and those who have come to appreciate upmarket piano smashing,

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

I'm with Sem! Vote Sem!

10:25am Funky16Corners:

I was so focused on Liberace that I didn't notice Mike Nesmith standing in the background

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the plot from the 1967 episode of "Art For Monkee's Sake"

www.imdb.com...

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Again, thanks to listener BobDC for the GIF!

🥁

10:28am βrian:

I'm here, and I brought a hall pass if you need it.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Next time, bring a nice Cabernet Sauvignon, βrian.

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

More cello!

10:35am Jeff Golick:

I'm not a musician or anything. but I'm pretty sure that's not how you tune it.

Maybe Dave S. knows.

Hi, @Doug!

🥁

10:35am βrian:

I'm more into Mourvèdre these days, but ...
Wait a minute .. Is that Mike Nesmith??

10:36am Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

That Monkee's episode is a great example of the gritty realism that characterized the entire series. It was just too much for middle American to handle.

🥁

10:37am βrian:

(I really should read the comments ...)

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

The Notorious KLG!

10:38am Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

Doug, I also answer to "Mahatma."

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Jeff "Atonal-Я-Us" Golick!

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Beautiful saxophoner of Baltimore GARY BARTZ on this Ingrid J slice!

10:42am Funky16Corners:

I've never heard Ingrid Jensen before. She has a nice sound.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

It's because she's Canadian, Funky16Corners.

10:45am Funky16Corners:

Then how do you explain April Wine?

🥁

10:48am JtotheK:

hi doug, hi everyone.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

JtothesuperduperK!

11:02am Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

If there was psychedelia in Iran, I guess that means that it must have been in every country. (?)

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Every country yodels. Every country has its own dumpling. Every country did psych.

Doug's Lesson for the Day®.

11:08am Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

Can we try the Iranian dumplings next? They sound intriguing.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

cookpad.com...

🥁

11:10am βrian:

Shining saffron, Batman. This is making me hungry!

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

This sounds like it's from the Shaft soundtrack.

11:13am ifny en route:

Morning drummers! Thanks for the early morning Farsi-fication Doug!

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

The pleasure's mine, ifny!

11:17am Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

Hmmm, Google provides the following translation of Soul Raga. I'm not sure I'm buying it, though.
Super hood
Super high
Super dude
Superfly!

11:19am ifny en route:

'Gooshi gooshi' is how you answer the phone in Iran. Dunno what one gooshi means though.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

"Gooshi gooshi" is the sound you make when tickling your lover.

11:21am david w:

Delicious, Doug. Delicious! Off to prepare my Marathon treats. Go WFMU! And thanks...

11:21am ifny en route:

Yes. Except for my Tokyo lover. Then it's moshi moshi.

11:21am Jeff Golick:

Sweet sounding set.

Re soul set to come: Happy birthday, Willie Mitchell, wherever you are.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Sweet riding alongside you, david w!

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Here are the lyrics to Judee Sill's "The Donor." Apparently, kyrie eleison is Greek for "Lord, have mercy."

Chasin' to the bottom
'Til I've finally caught 'em
Dreams fall deep
Where voices come a-chimin'
Moanin' and a-rhymin'
Warnin' me their words are
Ringin' and a-whinin'
Hear 'em weep
Songs from so deep
While I'm sleepin'
Seep in
Sweepin' over me
Still the echo's achin'
"Leave us not forsaken"
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Eleison, Eleison, eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
So sad, and so true
That even shadows come
And hum the requiem
Oh waters of the moon
Your vapors swirl and swoon
Your wake is wide
And sorrow's like an arrow
Shootin' straight and narrow
Aimin' true, its sting goes
Reachin' to the marrow
Silence cried
Now songs from so deep
While I'm sleepin'
Seep in
Sweepin' over me
Still the echo's achin'
"Leave us not forsaken"
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Eleison, eleison, eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
So sad, and so true
That even shadows come
And hum the requiem
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison

11:24am Funky16Corners:

I have vague memories of hearing 'Kyrie eleison' in mass as a child

11:25am Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

@Funky, it was a definite thing, right up there with Dominus vobiscum.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

May heaven continue to soothe the devout and tormented soul of Judee Sill.

11:26am Dean:

Yep, it's part of the liturgy. The KE from Faure's Requiem mass is pretty stunning.

🥁

11:26am Brian in UK:

I first heard Kyrie eleison on the Early Riser soundtrack. Make that Easy Rider.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

I fairly obviously have not spent a great deal of time in mass. (But I have spent some quality time on the Mass Turnpike.)

11:29am Uncle Michael:

Will you join me? Top of the hour...

www.wfmu.org...

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

I'm uploading a box of tissues to each of you individually.

11:29am Dean:

The liturgy according to traffic jams includes such enduring epithets as "Holy shit!" and "Jesus F***ing Christ!"

11:30am Jeff Golick:

Jonathan Richman, patron saint of the Mass Pike.

11:30am Michael 98145:

Beautiful.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for cheering me up, Dean. This song is making me weep over here.

11:31am Jeff Golick:

I maintain that "Heart Food" is the greatest album with the word food in the title.

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

It was the Electric Prunes with the magnificently named Weasel Spagnola.

11:32am Jeff Golick:

Well, "Nothing Lasts" will surely cheer us up, Doug....

11:34am Dean:

The songs that make me cry are Buxtehude's Klaglied, written in tribute to his father, and Ronnie Lane's "Debris," likewise, a paean to his dad.

11:34am coelacanth∅:

good morning Doug and cheery drummers and other bummers
- i mean Lovers...

🥁

11:35am Brian in UK:

@Dean ever heard Steve Goodman's 'My Old Man'? That is a tough one.

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
You want sad? You want SAD?! Get ready for "Song for Thirza." Up next.

11:36am coelacanth∅:

i don't see any monkees on the playlist

🥁

11:36am Brian in UK:

This is the barrel of laughs set.

11:37am Dean:

I'll check it out, @Brian in UK. Here's my favorite rendition of the Buxtehude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yqTLgst2do

I'm not into karaoke, but if I ever had the opportunity to belt this one, I just might take it.

11:38am Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

I can't stand much more cheer, frankly. There's a limit to everything.

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

I wasn't planning a sad gals set. It just kind of...happened.

11:38am coelacanth∅:

it's right up my alley. i didn't listen that closely till i saw all the comments about how sad it is. then i perked up.

11:39am Maggie B.:

i'm thoroughly verklempt now.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Everybody's favorite ball of laughs, Uncle Michael, will bring cheer to your world with another Hinky Dinky Time radio show. Up next on your 24-hour Drummer Stream.

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:40am Ramblin' Ray:

Great stuff

🥁

11:40am Brian in UK:

Ah Topic Records. Bringing us all down to earth.

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Is Divers the old spelling of Diverse.

11:44am rw:

Morning! Love lashes... is that what Liberace's giving the piano?

11:46am rw:

coelacanth, I see a Monkee in the background.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

I'll take the blame, Maggie B! Good morning, rw!

11:48am Sem:

May I just add here that that last one was bitchin?

11:49am Jeff Golick:

Hope this isn't jumping the gun, but the list of DJ Premiums this year has got to be seen to be believed: wfmu.org... -- it's gonna take some time to process all that's here.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

might as well jump

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

The assortment of Drummer Stream/WFMU marathon premiums is staggering. Might as well pledge $1,000 and get 17 of them.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

might as well

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Just use that friendly black box atop today's playlist page. You'll be glad ya did.

11:51am rw:

Jeff G, my daughter and I spent about an hour last night going through that list. Mostly a sign to me of how much she was wanting to avoid doing her homework. Many many cool premiums though. I may need at least 17.

11:53am Uncle Michael:

I like this two bit record.

11:54am Jeff Golick:

@rw: teach them well.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Just who is the songwriting team behind "(There Goes) The Forgotten Man," you may find yourself wondering.

Well, I will tell you.

Hal David & Burt Bacharach

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Doug! See you all for the Hinky with the Dinky.

11:56am Dean:

That trumpet is a give-away. Signature Burt sound.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

The lurking mariachi, they called it in the Hollywood sound studios.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

I just made that up.

11:58am Dean:

The name of my first band in high school, Lurking Mariachis.

🥁

11:58am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Ah, i simply adore lurking mariachi!

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Aw fuck, Dean, you beat me to it!

12:00pm rw:

Nice one Dean.

Thanks DS! Have a good week everyone!

12:01pm Kalaparusha Listener Gregory:

You modernized it, Doug! Thanks.

12:01pm Sem:

Lurk is the verb of the day.
Thx, Doug. Ciao for now, all.

12:01pm Dean:

But dry cleaning can be Martinized.

12:01pm chresti:

Thanks Doug!

🥁

12:01pm Brian in UK:

Thanks, Boss.

12:02pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, Doug!

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks thanks thanks, everyone!
