WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 05/03/19

Listener comments!

8:36am ausmanx:

everyone sleeping in today? i'm negotiating scottish clan warfare this evening, and if i didn't detest the bagpipes as an instrument, i'd be hoping for something appropriate? morning, doug!

8:39am Doug Schulkind:

Good evening, ausmanx! No bagpipes, but at least one autoharp, coming up...

8:48am ausmanx:

love an autoharp. especially if it's out of tune

8:49am Doug Schulkind:

Can they even ever be *in* tune, really?

8:52am Uncle Michael:

I autotune my autoharp.

8:53am Uncle Michael:

I have to go mix bird seed with other bird seed to make bird seed. I shall return.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

Be wary of the daemon seed, Uncle Michael.

🥁

9:00am listener james from westwood:

WFMU: We put the "fringe" in "surrey with the fringe on top."

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Everyone knows, Listener James, top fringe is the best fringe!

9:03am Sem:

Dorothy Parker named her budgie Onan, because he was always...

Hello, Doug, Friday morning folk, visitors from a planet far, far away.

🥁

9:04am dutchtheo:

Good day, drummers!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Ahoy, Sem! Land ho, dutchtheo!

🥁

9:05am doctorjazz:

Hey Drummers!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya, doc!

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Droppin' the cross of self-denial, y'all!

9:13am annie:

good morning everyone! nice friday music for a stressful wwek; not mine, many people i love..this will help.. :)

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Autoharp alert! Autoharp alert! Autoharp alert! Autoharp alert!

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Your arrival is a pleasure, annie!

9:16am Webhamster Henry:

Autoharp alert.

9:16am Webhamster Henry:

Indeed.

9:17am Webhamster Henry:

Sometime you should let me curate an autoharp set for the Drummer Stream.

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Yay! Webhamster Henry is here to hear it!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
That time is NOW. Git to work!

9:19am Webhamster Henry:

Here are a few of mine: www.jhhl.net...

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Can't click the link just now. Will check later.

9:22am still b/p:

A murder of crows, a pride of lions, a pod of whales, an alert of autoharps.

9:22am Webhamster Henry:

Actually, a tuning of autoharps.

9:23am Maggie B.:

Ahoy, drummers!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Mama Maggie B!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

There is only one still b/p!

9:27am Webhamster Henry:

Mike Seeger's Mountain Music Played on the Autoharp" (Folkways) recording, now retitled "Masters of Old-Time Country Autoharp" on Smithsonian, is the lodestone of Mountain Autoharp mastery.

9:28am still b/p:

The cougher in the room with Pearly adds a suitable informality.
"The Cougher in the Room With Pearly" could be another nice folk ballad.

9:28am ausmanx:

i did win a trivia jackpot a couple of weeks back with "a pandemonium of parrots". just checked the website where you can get that "When Cecil Left the Mountains" set, wow, quite a selection www.mtrecords.co.uk

9:29am Listener Gregory:

Got to work an hour earlier than usual, so I'm tuned in earlier too. I apologize for the inconvenience.

9:30am still b/p:

That whole set was wonderful.

9:32am Listener Gregory:

Yet, it seems I got here half an hour too late. That set looks awesome.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Wise elder Listener Gregory is here!

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

What word is used to describe a group of GTDS listeners?

9:38am Listener Gregory:

An earful of drummers?

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

That's a good baseline, Listener Gregory.

9:40am Webhamster Henry:

This is very specific kind of "other" - the other one finds in the "Other" section of a record store bin.

9:40am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! jolly railroad persons!

9:41am Webhamster Henry:

I always like post record fair WFMU shows, where DJ's showcase their recent finds.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

holland other!

9:41am mauri:

ciao dougaa ciao tuttii!

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster H
I agree. My favorite shows of the year: first show after the marathon. First show after the record fair.

9:42am holland oats:

my stream is a bit bumpy

9:42am Webhamster Henry:

Collective noun for GTDS listeners: a drummery summation of listeners.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Stream is very bumpy today.

9:44am Listener Gregory:

This percussion is so exotic I can barely stand it.

9:45am still b/p:

A rapture of Drummerdaries.

9:45am Uncle Michael:

suddenly very bumpy here

9:45am Listener Gregory:

@Doug, I'm getting a lot of dropouts.

9:45am doncaballero:

OK, thanks Doug. Dropping in and out here, but thought it was my office wi fi.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

I'm seeing rebuffering every few seconds.

9:46am joe:

Throw some foil on the end of your antenna and make your kid brother hold it by the window and you'll be fine.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, doncaballero. Sorry about the wonky connection today.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

I've already lined my shorts with tin foil, Joe. I thought that would be enough.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

I rebooted my router this past week, so it likely is not a problem on my end.

9:49am Listener Gregory:

To answer your earlier question, Doug, how about "a loose connection of listeners"? That will take the dropouts into account.

9:52am Listener Gregory:

Moondog has fixed the stream! Once again.

9:53am Jeff Golick:

Bumping along here just fine. Working at home! Hi!

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

You callin' my listeners "loose," LG?

🥁

9:53am dutchtheo:

no bumpy bumbo, and Abdul was cool too

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff "No Screws Loose" Golick!

9:54am Jeff Golick:

(I wouldn't go that far.)

9:54am Raissa:

perfect follow up to Moondog!

9:55am joe:

Word has come out that Frank O'Toole has past. Very sad.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Raissa! But going too far is my specialty.

9:56am annie:

oh no!! no fxo?

9:56am Raissa:

;)

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Joe. I was just going to share. WFMU beloved Frank O'Toole has apparently died. He was already a station old hand when I joined in 1987. Warm and encouraging. With a rye sense of humor that could peel paint.

9:58am mauri:

oh no.. rip fxo :(

10:00am annie:

i paused the player..watching the comments to see if the spotty action has gone.

10:00am Listener Gregory:

Back to bumps for me.

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

My geese have bumps.

10:01am Andrew Waterloo:

Very sad to hear about Frank O'Toole. I remember listening to FXO on Monday mornings

10:02am still b/p:

Shifted from bumps to stammering free-fall.

10:02am joe:

Props to you Doug for not just claiming this is supposed to be how it sounds. I mean it could be possible right?

10:03am Rich in Washington:

Sorry to hear about your radio comrade, Doug!

10:03am Andrew Waterloo:

so the stream is shit for other people too?

🥁

10:05am listener james from westwood:

Aw, goddamnit, Frank O'Toole. :(

10:06am Maggie B.:

the stream has some severe hiccups this morning!

10:07am Listener Gregory:

@Maggie, perhaps Doug should try drinking a glass of water backwards? That sometimes works.

10:07am Maggie B.:

oh no! what happened to Frank?

10:08am Maggie B.:

@Listener Gregory - or we could scare him?

10:09am Listener Gregory:

@Maggie, God knows I've tried, but it has never worked yet.

10:09am annie:

it tookme while to dig frank's unique style, then i just adored mondays. (and i miss BW, too) guess i'll hit some archives this week.

🥁

10:13am duke:

I just heard that FXO passed away. Sad news. RIP Frank.

10:15am annie:

there's definitely a disturbance in the fourth, oops force, oops third..

10:17am still b/p:

Don't see a release date in a quick look at site for The Viking of Sixth Avenue ("in production"). Anyone know if it's expected soon or just hanging in funding and assembly limbo? (Bumbo limbo?)

10:19am Thatchmo:

Thatchmo in the Hizzie to keep tabs on my ladies Texas and Ola Belle!

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Thatchmo loves his ladies!

10:21am Listener Gregory:

Let's not say if the stream cleans up, because it will definitely jinx it.

10:21am Sem:

Awww, shit. fxo.

10:21am Alex In Illinois:

I think the issue has been fixed!

🥁

10:22am βrian:

Good morning from the isthmus. The skies are clear at last.

10:23am Alex In Illinois:

Sorry Listener Gregory. I did not see your post first. I hope I didn't jinx it.

10:24am Listener Gregory:

@Alex, anyone can make a misteak.

10:24am Listener Scott:

RIP FXO. That's really sad, he was one of the first DJs I really latched onto here, way back in early 90s. Loved his shows.

🥁

10:25am βrian:

I am hearing hiccups on my end. The stream needs to be startled, perhaps.

10:28am Listener Gregory:

Like the stream, I must drop out. But I'll check it all on the archives. Thanks, Doug.

10:30am Alex In Illinois:

I did jinx it. Sorry everyone.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Alex in Illinois and Listener Scott. Wish we could be gathering in happier and less bumpy times.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Scare me, βrian!

🥁

10:48am βrian:

This stream reminds me of Donald:

"There were spaces between Donald and whatever he said ..."

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Joe Daley is your tuba soloist here.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

Arthur Doyle and Hugh Glover are the wailing banshees collaborating with Mr. Graves here.

11:03am Jeff g.:

Covering a lot of ground with this set! Love it.

11:05am chresti:

Morning drums!

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff g.
Hope you're wearing sensible shoes.

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya, chresti! We're having a bit of a bumpy ride on the stream today. Have some Dramamine handy.

11:10am chresti:

Perfect- goes with my mosquito bites.

11:11am Funky16Corners:

Sorry I'm late! Been burrowing through crates of CDs looking for something (that I miraculously FOUND)...

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Hello you ol' haystack needler you!

11:15am Funky16Corners:

That's my wrestling nom de guerre...

11:16am coelacanth∅:

gmorning Doug, drummers and other Lovers

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Hello you ol' 4-million-year-old fish you!

11:17am johnk77:

the freestyle riddim edits
introduced often today
by the stream
go well with the keith stirling
introducing a random
authentic nightclub vibration

11:18am Dave Sewelson:

Skipping and jumping we are...

11:18am johnk77:

sorry lester stirling

11:18am frenchee:

hey gang, good to see all the FXO love. He was a definite WFMU Hall of Famer (tip of the hat to Rob Weisberg for that) and a helluva guy. I am getting contagious hiccups listening today!

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, johnk77! Groovings, Dave Sewelson! Yeah, the bronco is busting our balls today.

11:19am coelacanth∅:

wow what is going on with the stream?!
the wfmu main is fine.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Might need to reboot the server at WFMU. Haven't got ahold of the authorities yet.

11:22am Dean:

Per-ge-fer-gect sgound for-gev-eger.

11:23am johnk77:

excellent work selecter
had not heard
bingy bunny
in many a generation?;>

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Every generation deserves the Bingy Bunny it gets, johnk77.

11:23am coelacanth∅:

it sounds like what this laptop does if i put it into sleep mode. (IF i did, which i don't anymore) -when i take it out of sleep i can't stream sound. have to just turn it off and start over (which takes at least 10 minutes)

11:24am coelacanth∅:

i guess the archive will be fine...i want to hear this righteous set!

11:26am rw:

Discomix?

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Using a rubber spatula to get every drop, rw!

11:31am Webhamster Henry:

The skipping is putting a kind of meta-spin on the reggae beats there.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff Moore at the station is poking around, trying to find the gerbil that's gnawing on the wires.

11:35am Listener Robert:

I saw "Massive Attack on WFMU" on the meta-data and got scared.

11:36am Alex In Illinois:

I have read descriptions of reggae as having a "hiccup".

11:49am Jeff Golick:

Jeff's healing powers have worked!

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Dr. Moore's Magic Elixir and Boil Remover

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff has done nothing, sadly. There's no problem at the WFMU end. Must be my router or my ISP.

Hopefully, that means there will be NO problems with Hinky Dinky Time, which is up NEXT here on your 24-hour Drummer Stream. Tune in and get an earful from Uncle Michael!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:53am Mr C:

Great show boss..

11:53am Uncle Michael:

I suffer from a housing complex.

11:54am Jeff Golick:

Sometimes doing nothing is the greatest healing force in the world.

At least that's what my doctor used to tell me.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Mr C. Pleasing you is a pleasure.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for handling hiccups with aplomb, Doug! See you all shortly in the next room.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Finally, a guy singing about his "girl" and she's actually under 18!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
I am literally covered in aplomb juice.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

So, aplomb went off?

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

A least it wasn't an hplomb.

11:59am Funky16Corners:

Hey! I have this one! Great group.

11:59am Uncle Michael:

This is detonated to the one I love...

11:59am rw:

Thanks Doug! You've got some pretty dedicated listeners. Says a lot about your radio show.

12:01pm rw:

If it helps, the mic break doesn't seem to be breaking up. Maybe the issue has something to do with the player.

12:02pm Rich in Washington:

Thanks, Doug!

12:04pm Doug Schulkind:

@rw
I think that was plumb luck. All my audio is fed through the same device.

THANKS everyone!

12:04pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, @Doug!

12:11pm coelacanth∅:

Thanks Doug and good luck with your hiccups

🥁

12:25pm dutchtheo:

Thanks Doug, missed the reggae!! and soul!! hour, will come back to archive later. Sorry to hear about Frank O'Toole, sympathy and strength to the WFMU family

🥁

12:42pm bobdc:

The GIF looks great! I think we've discussed how "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" could be the theme of an entire star-studded show (John Coltrane! Bobby Darin!); Martin Denny appears to be the obvious candidate for the bed music.

12:44pm Doug Schulkind:

The GIF is super snazzy, bobdc. Thanks again!

🥁

5:38am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, very sad to hear of Frank O'Toole's demise. He seemed like a decent man and he played good music. What more can you ask for.

7:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Frank was a good egg. Rarely scrambled, occasionally fried, but always a welcome presence.
