WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 04/05/19

Listener comments!

🥁

8:26am Brian in UK:

Hello Boss. Decorating time, snow falling but melting on impact. Roxy Gordon in the machine. IT'S FRIDAY.

8:27am Doug Schulkind:

Roxy Gordon makes me melt on impact. Good day, Brother Brian!

8:31am ausmanx:

we go on winter time this weekend, so i get two hours of live doug to keep me warm through the colder months. good evening doug and brian et al

8:41am Doug Schulkind:

Two hours of live Doug are preferable to the alternative.

8:42am Uncle Michael:

That drummer is slap-happy.

8:46am Doug Schulkind:

Ironically, Uncle Michael, not slap-stick.

8:51am ausmanx:

yes, but the alternative is archive doug which is not so bad...

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

The opposite of live Doug, mathematically speaking, is evil Doug. Those are the rules.

8:58am ausmanx:

evil doug is merely a theoretical possibility, impossible to manifest in the real world. i'm sure jessie would agree

8:58am Jeff Golick:

Via the Miles Theorem of identities. Howdy.

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Making an early entrance, Jeff Golick! I'll pout the sound coffee.

9:01am Jeff Golick:

One of the main benefits of not commuting is full-time Drummer! (Also? Not feeling homicidal.)

🥁

9:05am dutchtheo:

Good day! Evil Guod
Acronym Definition
GUOD Give Up or Die (Gaming Clan) (Whatever that means)

🥁

9:06am sinner:

Here.

9:07am Sem:

Good morning, Doug, the schulkinder, newcomers, old hands, near misses, close shaves, and those washed up above the Stream's wrack line.

9:08am Webhamster Henry:

Gib den Trommler etwas, denn!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, dutchtheo! sinner! Sem! Webhamster Henry! Big bear hugs all 'round!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
They have commuted your sentence?

9:10am mauri:

ich bin krankenwagenfahreeeer dudududuuuu

9:11am Maggie B.:

guten morgen, drummerSchlagzeuger!

9:11am annie:

.....(lurking); re-arranging the apartment once again..hope this time it takes

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

mauri hip!
Maggie B hip!
annie hooray!

9:12am ausmanx:

i aspire to a sublime state of flux whereby one re-arranges one's life to suit the apartment, annie...

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Oskar Joost was the Nazi. So don't enjoy this one too much.

9:15am Webhamster Henry:

"Saxophones .. make women's hearts weak"

9:17am Webhamster Henry:

It's about time the Comedian Harmonists showed up!

9:19am Listener Robert:

Trying to think of what Evil Doug would play.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Mwah hah hah, Listener Robert!

9:20am Listener Robert:

Probably like the stuff in "J-Men Forever" (or, "The Secret World War").

9:23am goyim in the am:

Viennese here — decidely not German.

9:24am Blenkinsop:

Is this a Doug Day Afternoon?

9:26am Jeff Golick:

Beep beep.

9:26am Webhamster Henry:

Hey this isn't German!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

@goyim in the am
Thanks for the correction!

@Webhamster Henry
You are correct, Sir.

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Good afternoon, Blenkinsop! Woof woof!

9:34am Herb Stevens:

Afternoon everyone! Bit late to the party, been in a boring meeting but tuned in now in the UK.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

So please to have you on board, Herb Stevens! You can pedal along or just coast. Your choice!

9:38am thedunkel / el carnicero francés:

good morning mr drummer! good morning all!

🥁

9:38am Brian in UK:

Doug, on listening again to Sory Kandia Kouyate I surprised at how much 'mariachi' sounds pervade the record. Was it popular in Guinea?

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, thedunkel!

@Brian in UK
A lovely observation. That MUST be investigated further.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

I adore the not-entirely-in-tune guitar sound.

9:47am Lore:

You & me both, Mr. Schulkind.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

J'adore, Monsieur Lore!

🥁

9:55am dutchtheo:

Tout Puissant rumba

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

So extremely Puissant, dutchtheo!

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Settle in, my friends, for coming next, another installment in the GTDS investigative series, The Sounds of White People In Crisis.

🥁

10:07am sinner:

Sang it!

10:08am Sem:

This is taking a disturbing turn...

🥁

10:08am Brian in UK:

This reminds me of Streets of Baltimore.

10:09am Sem:

...and so the pedal steel guy is having a ball.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Sem
Disturbing is just the beginning.

10:09am Sem:

It's not you, it's me.

10:13am Sem:

Wasn't Forbis, Barrix and Weakly a super group? A law firm?

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

"Screwed the nuts up tight" indeed.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Um... Forbis, Barrix and Weakley was the name of my first band in high school.

10:16am Sem:

Speaking of the war on poverty, I'm expecting Volume 4 of Caro's biography of LBJ. Can't wait.

10:17am burke:

That happens a lot to people of means...their wives go wild :-P

10:17am Listener Scott:

I've been going about this war on poverty all wrong

10:18am Sem:

Married to a tuneful robot: tell us more.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, burke! Welcome aboard, Listener Scott!

10:19am Funky16corners:

Morning all!

10:21am Listener Gregory:

Excellent song about a bad back, Bob Shafer.

🥁

10:22am sinner:

Pardon me, I've got someone to kill.

🥁

10:22am βrian:

Thank Bob it's Friday. Good morning.

10:23am annie:

you know you're in trouble when you call the local gardening shop called "Fifth Season" to find an aquarium /terrarium and they have nothing but wine-glass sized novelty deals. milennials...oy vey!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Funky16Corners! Nice to see ya, Listener Gregory! Hey there, βrian!

🥁

10:23am JtotheK:

lumber city track is great. hi doug, hi everyone.

10:25am chresti:

Good morning

🥁

10:25am Brian in UK:

I was a tiger in bed
But a cheetah in the morning.

🥁

10:25am βrian:

Cuz you'll have to move that terrarium every year, or what?

10:27am annie:

everything is artisanal..

🥁

10:28am βrian:

@BUK: Heh. That only works for those who drop the R. Boston, say.

🥁

10:31am doctorjazz:

Hey folks!

10:31am Martinibomb:

Hi Doug just catching the end of your show. Hope everyone is good.

10:33am Ike:

I only caught the last 2 songs. So the entire set wasn't about artisanal cheating?

10:33am Listener Scott:

ooh, a non-marathon on-air shout-out! I'll be over here basking in glory, thanks.

10:35am Listener Scott:

btw Doug, I was just in Pittsburgh a few weeks back for 5 days; great city, I loved it. Parking was miserable but everything else was great. My notion of Pitt has been mostly (mis)informed by the Deer Hunter until now.

10:37am northguineahills:

I always wanted to try polk salad, but since it's mildly toxic and an irritant, you have to boil it many times (it's a weed down south).

10:37am northguineahills:

The Google doodle the other day was in honor of Hugh Masekela's bday....

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

JtotheK! chresti! northguineahills!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Scott
Step 5 minutes outside of Pittsburgh and the Deer Hunter vibe is thick.

10:39am Listener Scott:

But I'll bet you can park there

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, Ike! Yes, by jove, you've got it!

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Ooooh, almost missed ya, Martinibomb! doctorjazz!

🥁

10:40am doctorjazz:

Like this Back to Berks, great track!

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

In my ear, I've always associated Mike Osborne's sax sound with that of Jackie McLean, but with jagged edges. LOVE it.

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Anthony Braxton is playing a contrabass saxophone here.

🥁

10:46am doctorjazz:

I've read somewhere that edge was because Mclean played slightly sharp,which is my sense of it as well.

🥁

10:47am βrian:

Who's playing bass office chair?

10:48am Listener Gregory:

The bass saxophone is so hackneyed, right? If you don't go at least to the contra-bass, you're really just like Kenny G.

10:49am Listener Gregory:

@doctorjazz, that makes a lot of sense.

🥁

10:49am doctorjazz:

A bit like a tuned tow truck...

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Here's a photo of Braxton playing a contrabass sax. No office chair needed!

enacademic.com...

10:50am Jeff Golick:

Somewhere in the city, Dave Sewelson's ears are twitching.

🥁

10:50am JtotheK:

Doug, how's Opus 40P compare to Opus 40K, Opus 40N?

🥁

10:51am doctorjazz:

Would Iridium book someone like Braxton now?

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@JtotheK
Opus 40P has more P.

🥁

10:53am JtotheK:

Of course! (Thanks to discogs for assisting in my question. I was unprepared for the number of opuses <?> and sub-catergorized by letter opuses ... oh my.)

10:55am northguineahills:

Discussing Braxton compositions, that's a conversation that will never be resolved or ever end.....

10:57am Jeff Golick:

Here's a review of Braxton's 40 series of comps./opuses, complete with pictures: restructures.net...

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I'm not paying you enough.

11:00am david w:

This thread is on fire! Hi, all!

11:00am Listener Gregory:

@Jeff, I'm pretty sure the diagram for 40M is the chemical structure of caffeine.

11:01am Dave Sewelson:

My ears starting twitching I don’t know why

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

david w! Hooray!

11:01am northguineahills:

Considering any part of any composition can be incorporated into many other newer compositions, some and the performers choice, it's hard to keep track. Also, read Graham Locke's account of the classic quartet touring in the 80s, definitely mandatory.

🥁

11:02am JtotheK:

"Honey, it's our anniversary, what are you doing - won't you please come to bed?"
Reviewer: "Look, there are numerous 40 opuses that have gone UNREVIEWED for the web and someone must take on this monumental task, anything else is mere distraction. Now please, leave me be. Now then - where was I. Ah yes, - Comp. 40D -- yes yes, this strikes me as 'Medium fast pulse for extension.' Moving on! . . ."

🥁

11:03am JtotheK:

also "Medium Fast Pulse for Extension" - didn't I read about that particular technique ... somewhere else? *blushes* ... heh heh heh.

11:05am Listener Gregory:

Doug, let's call the whole thing off.

🥁

11:07am doctorjazz:

Read the Locke book, recommended.

11:07am Jeff Golick:

@Dave: I think Doug threw up the Bari Signal.

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Let's call the whole thing enchilada.

11:08am northguineahills:

@JtotheK: Now, that sounds like my kind of holiday!

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

Dave "The Twitch" Sewelson!

11:09am Dave Sewelson:

@Jeff he threw down

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

Graham Lock's book Forces in Motion is one of the [ed: most important] books about musicmaking ever written.

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

First I threw up on it, then I threw down.

11:11am burke:

Shouting "cumbia" the way one might shout "mambo," were it a mambo.

11:12am northguineahills:

It's hard to find a cumbia track w/ out "cumbia" being sung or shout....

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Either that or kumbaya.

🥁

11:14am doctorjazz:

Lovely...

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

A happy Friday for me is one where I have already created the playlist art for NEXT Friday''s show.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

It will feature yodeling.

11:19am Listener Gregory:

Speaking of kumbaya, the song of that name was credited to a German-American composer for many years. Now they have found essentially the same song recorded in 1926 by Gullah speakers in Georgia, long before the song was "written" and copyrighted. Probably everyone knows this, but I just read it.

11:19am Funky16Corners:

I did not know that!

11:21am northguineahills:

Now the Gullah are in danger of losing some of their ancestral land to real estate developers (people like vacation houses on barrier islands).

11:22am Listener Gregory:

@ngh And rising sea levels.

11:25am fleep:

Doomed planet greetings!

11:25am Listener Gregory:

Doug, this music is from Mexico??? I would not have guessed that.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Jeez I love you people. Deep musings on Braxton's series of 40 opuses and Gullah culture. Amazing. And then... there's Fleep!

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
It is from the Mexican country of Colombia.

🥁

11:27am Granny Spicy Tuna:

fleep! you survived Ritual Pill!

11:27am Jeff g.:

(Doug, your 11:11 comment re the Lock book is truer than you perhaps realized.)

🥁

11:28am Granny Spicy Tuna:

greetings from Granny's gingerbread cottage, everyone

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Granny Spicy Tuna!

@Jeff Golick
I stand behind every comment. Waaaaay behind.

11:29am fleep:

(For the uninformed, Ritual Pill is the name of The Urchins first album, on sale now in the beautiful record store of your mind.)

11:29am Listener Gregory:

You caught me on that one, Doug. I looked up Palenque and got an area of Mexico. But actually, I thought the music was from the Mexican continent of Africa, so I am still surprised.

🥁

11:30am Brian in UK:

Doug, a right melange of hybrid sounds.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Shithole music, in other words.

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Join me at the top of the hour as I shake off my torpor...eon't you?

www.wfmu.org...

11:31am Listener Gregory:

The best music in the world!

11:31am Uncle Michael:

"eon't" is a torpor-typo

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Shitole people come from India.

🥁

11:32am Granny Spicy Tuna:

so is The Ayatolluh of Rock n' Rolluh the manager of The Urchins? No, i think he's the bus driver, actually. (Everyone needs to check out The Night Owl every now and then. I know it's not on GTDR, but we can slide on over now and then?)

11:33am chresti:

2 cuppas later...great set!

🥁

11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna:

chresti, thank you, i am presuming this is the caffeine count? I am up to zero. no wonder i'm stumbling across the comments board gracelessly

11:36am chresti:

Granny- you are going like gangbusters compared to me

🥁

11:40am doctorjazz:

Day off, nice to be able to stay in the show (usually at work, have to pop in and out), really enjoying it!
Thanks Doug!

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

Graceful Spicy Tuna!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

I am so pleased you are so pleased, doctorjazz!

11:42am Listening Out There:

I am so happy you are pleased, Doug S...

11:43am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Coming up at the top of the hour, Uncle Michael will be playing rare field recordings of the Eon't people. You eon't want to miss it!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

I'm so happy you're happy I'm happy you're happy, Listening Out There!

Really, actually true!

🥁

11:46am sinner:

waving my hand....

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

This set so far: Banny/Pattie/Bobby/Eddie.

A good set, so far.

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

The bass player on this Eddie Parker number is going for a Pulitzer Prize or something. Outstanding!

🥁

11:48am sinner:

....swaying down in Bama....sing on

🥁

11:48am Brian in UK:

I'm glad but you can call me Betty.

Doug. Thanks for the show,

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael, I'm gonna go over a minute or two. Because I did my maths wrong.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I won't call you late for dinner.

11:51am Mr C:

Great group!

🥁

11:52am Brian in UK:

Anyone heard the new 'old' Marvin Gaye record?

11:52am Listener Gregory:

Shithole math!

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

On April 11 (Midnight-3am), the great sinner (Kevin Nutt) will be spinning killer funk and soul on DJ Small Change's radio show over on the mothership WFMU!

11:54am Lane Gray:

Huh. I'd thought this was Betty Wright

11:55am rw:

Thanx DS!!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Mr C!

11:56am Sem:

See you next week, Doug, and thanks for today's plate full o'goodness, Ciao for now.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Lane Gray. Nice to see you!

My pleasure, rw!

11:56am northguineahills:

Thanks, Doug!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Ciao, Sem. Nice hanging out. Let's do it again.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Time for me to drop everything. See you all soon. Thanks, Doug.

12:00pm Martinibomb:

thanks for all the great tunes today!

12:01pm Listener Gregory:

I think I can say honestly that I got no work done this morning at all. Thanks, Doug.

12:01pm chresti:

Thanks Doug!

12:01pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, @Doug!

🥁

12:01pm dutchtheo:

Thanks Doug!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:
