Greets, Doug.

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

Morning, Doug and all!!

9:02am John from Florham Park:

Hello guys

9:02am annie:

hi all you drummers!

🥁

9:03am dutchtheo:

Bon jour de fête. That's me, doing the Tati mailman shuffle

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Double-helpings for you, Sem! Good morning, listener james!, John from Florham Park!, annie! Good afternoon, dutchtheo!

9:04am Maggie B.:

Now that's a party!

9:04am annie:

yes, the mirror is mirroring the room..i always check those silly things

9:07am still b/p:

Movin' and groovin' while the pouch stays put. That's the mark of a master.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Big hugs, dear Maggie! Wet smooches, still b/p!

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Looks like WFMU is now under $5000 from reaching the goal from last April's marathon. Pretty cool!

9:11am annie:

this was evocative of a paul bowles novel..

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

What a lovely observation, annie.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Oud player Achilleas Poulos is Greek, not Turkish, but he is playing a Turkish tune.

9:18am Mr C:

Good Morning Mr Blues...

9:18am Uncle Michael:

Good morning. I just bought the Tati box set and haven't watched all the gifs yet.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Some electric blues coming in the next set, Mr C!

Good morning Uncle Giffy!

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

On recordings of Eastern European origin, I always gravitate to the songs with Taksim in the name. Taksim basically indicates an improvisatory jam.

9:21am chresti:

Goud morning drummers

🥁

9:22am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug et al.

Is this Bill Mac dancing at his birthday party?

9:24am still b/p:

And a song rises -- or pops -- out of the heartland...
"Tati box, Tati box,
Oh, Tati Tati Tati..."

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Marko Melkon on oud accompanying Mary Vartanian here.

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for getting up oily, chresti! Welcome aboard, Brian in UK!

9:31am still b/p:

The Death Lament...so early in world of recording possiblity, it has extra effect..a fascination and reverence in the hearing.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

It's that reverence that kills me, still b/p.

9:38am ausmanx:

yo, it's cold, what's going on? thank god for GTSD. i hate wearing jumpers

🥁

9:38am Brian in UK:

Taksim is the well-to-do area of Istanbul.

🥁

9:39am Brian in UK:

Welsh Mountain Sheep are woolly jumpers. Cannot pen them in.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Hey ausmanx, looks like the Drummer Stream will be adding a new program from your vicinity (Melbourne). Kep your nose open for the details...

Welsh Mountain Sheep was the name of my first band in high school.

9:41am Uncle Michael:

Is GTSD better than PTSD?

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

If you don't mind the blows to the head, Uncle Michael.

🥁

9:44am Brian in UK:

'Kep, your nose open' was my first band in kindergarten.

9:44am ausmanx:

typographical mayhem is one consequence of pstd. it's manx loughtan sheep which are the really special ones, brian... six horns, can't go wrong with six horns

9:45am still b/p:

Woolly Jumpers is a good name for a solo musician. So is Manx Loughtan.

🥁

9:45am listener james from westwood:

It's been alternating between November and April in northern NJ. No clear sign of when it's safe to mothball one's wooly jumpers.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

After your debut, Kep Your Nose Open, Live at Leeds!, the band really went downhill.

🥁

9:51am Brian in UK:

Gloucester Old Spot was a blues singer hope he features in this set.

🥁

9:52am βrian:

Fair skies over the isthmus. The graduates will be happy.

🥁

9:52am Brian in UK:

Doug, Gravity Sucks my second band really did go downhill.

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Johnny Winter on guitar here.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Aha, the rare Brian/βrian/Brian sequence!

🥁

9:54am Brian in UK:

@ausmanx there are some English Long Horn cattle on the estate by us. The horns are all over the place, some curve round the face, some stick straight up.

🥁

9:57am Granny Spicy Tuna:

The jackpot of Brians has summoned me! What is your wish?

9:57am ausmanx:

long horns are mighty impressive, brian. and quite friendly, i believe. just like this show. someone should photoshop some longhorn loughtans

🥁

9:59am Brian in UK:

@GST World peace and to travel the world. (Sorry that was Miss World's wish)

🥁

9:59am βrian:

Good morning, GST. How's your nori today?

🥁

10:01am listener james from westwood:

Yay for post-Marathon pledges! Soooooo cloooooose!!

🥁

10:01am Granny Spicy Tuna:

When the waitress asked, "What can i get ya?" My mom would say, "World peace and Robert Redford."

🥁

10:01am βrian:

In nomine Drummer Stream.

🥁

10:02am Granny Spicy Tuna:

βrian: i do believe i will be investigating some nori this afternoon. I'll let ya know.

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Granny Spicy Yay!

🥁

10:05am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Yesterday i offered on Trouble's chat board to send a postcard to anyone who PMs me their mailing address (via my profile), and i extend this offer to the friendly folx here in the GTDS lounge. It's fun!

10:05am Jeff g.:

You say longhorns, I think didgeridoo.

(Clearly, I need Alp.)

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

What's the matterhorn with you, Jeff G?

10:07am still b/p:

Someone plays a pun card, and someone else tries to trumpet.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
The word "punk" comes from the shortening of the phrase "pun card." True story.

10:10am Jeff g.:

An old friend of mine (my first boss, c. 1991) is doing a similar thing, @GST, sending out a postcard a day for the year. We've received two and I can say that being on the receiving end is pretty great.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Don't look now but I believe we are going to make it through a Kishore Kumar song where he doesn't break out yodeling. Fingers crossed we make it!

10:11am Jeff g.:

Too horny, Doug.
I'll see myself out.

10:14am still b/p:

Don't let the door bang you in...the....brasssss!

🥁

10:14am listener james from westwood:

Physical via-the-post mail is the absolute best. It's provided me a reason to improve my horrific handwriting.

10:14am chresti:

there are many horns, and strings and things

🥁

10:14am Brian in UK:

The other day, a call centre person had to go and check something. She said bear with me a minute, so I went Baaaaaa, (in a sheepish voice) no response from her at all. Probably quite understandable.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

You wooly jumper you!

10:17am bigplanetnoise:

Gooooooood morning!!!

🥁

10:18am βrian:

@james: What? I thought you spent your days wielding a blue pencil.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Big noisy welcome, Mr. Planet!

🥁

10:20am listener james from westwood:

βrian: I wish they were! 98% of my work is on screen; Word and Acrobat. I do print out some shorter pieces that need an eyes-on-paper read, just yesterday in fact, but it's rare.

🥁

10:20am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Jeff g.: i sent out a postcard a day for a year and it was a very enjoyable challenge

🥁

10:20am βrian:

Are there any Bollywood epics situated in a call center?

🥁

10:20am listener james from westwood:

This track is a banger!

10:21am Jeff g.:

Spreading postal joy, @GST! Nice.

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
I wouldn't bet against it.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Do the children of today even know what "Going postal" means anymore? A tragedy.

10:23am coelacanth∅:

good morning Doug and everyone

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

...which provides the inspiration for the name of today's programme!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Special delivery: coelacanth∅!

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, music from a grown man named Bappi.

10:24am still b/p:

The kids have ghosted "going postal."

🥁

10:27am βrian:

A lot of Indian music is a naan-starter for me, sadly.

10:28am Jeff g.:

I have a stamp collection that lives at my parents' house. I do not know what to do with it. It is fun to look at, but...that's it

10:29am coelacanth∅:

excuse me i think that was a naan-sequitur

10:29am chresti:

Humdi a hah hey! Hot stuff guitar

10:30am still b/p:

Doesn't tikka your fancy?

10:31am coelacanth∅:

great, now i want indian food

🥁

10:31am Granny Spicy Tuna:

these puns are NOT all-raita with me

10:32am coelacanth∅:

ghee, you don't like them?

🥁

10:34am listener james from westwood:

My local Indian joints both have gone straight downhill. I may need to raid Curry Hill in the city.

10:37am Jeff Golick:

Saturday is really looking great.

🥁

10:37am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Now that i've picked myself up off the floor, i am reconsidering my previous goal to investigate some nori for the urgent matter of investigating some naan.

10:37am coelacanth∅:

wasn't Matt Fivash on 2 at once? or did those not overlap...
and of course if you count fill-ins, there's Mary Wing and Kurt Gottchalk
(not to be so contrary...)

10:39am David D:

Loving the sounds today, Doug - and all the great stream news!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

@coelacanth∅
Matt begged off Ichiban and joined the Drummer Stream. There may have been a brief period of overlap.

After Hurricane Sandy, the Ichiban stream remained knocked off the air for a spell and the Drummer Stream become home to some of their shows.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

I'm loving it that you're loving it, David D!

🥁

10:40am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Alrighty, folx, i am for real writing out postcards to WFMUers who have PM'd me their address (via my profile), keep it coming! (This music may inspire some very thrilling postcards)

10:41am coelacanth∅:

i have too much food in the house to be thinking about mushroom mataar or vegetable jal firozi. but i have 1/3 of a pot of rice in the 'fridge and some curry, so....

10:42am KimSorise:

Glad to see you dug out your copy of Maulawi, Major Doug. It is a doozie!

🥁

10:42am Brian in UK:

Ah yes, the GtDS Hurricane Sandy monster show.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Kim Sorise, my inspiration (in so many ways)!

10:44am still b/p:

Have to leave shortly, with great regret, but that will mean some mercy for everyone else, with some reduction in the bad-crack quotient.

10:44am coelacanth∅:

Doug, so some of the current drummer stream shows used to be regular ichiban stream shows? (it took a while for me to tune in to the ichiban so that easily could've happened right under my nose)

10:44am fleep:

Disoriented yet pleasant greetings

10:46am Jeff Golick:

Is the rest of this Maulawi record as great?

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

@coelacanth∅
Matt Fiveash started on Ichiban. Also Larry Grogan and Testify! got an early start with Ichiban, but soon switched over. Ichiban's programming purview is somewhat narrower and occasionally shows don't quite work over there. Me on the other hand, I am wider open to different sounds and approaches.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Email me a reminder and I will make sure you find out.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you flapped over, fleep!

10:51am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: [gif of Kermit typing furiously]

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

The rip-snorter "The Black Bear" is from... Scotland!

🥁

10:52am Granny Spicy Tuna:

fleeeeeep!

10:52am Jeff Golick:

(song title does not match the album cover...)

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the LP cover with The Black Bear: www.discogs.com...

10:54am coelacanth∅:

Doug that's interesting. Thanks.

late 2012, hurricane sandy, i was probably barely dipping my toes in the drummer stream. i only started (only because of a broken fm antenna) using the internet for wfmu in 2011.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

I couldn't be happier you found us, coelacanth∅!

10:56am coelacanth∅:

(funny looking black bear)

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

It's like the 400-pound guy nicknamed "Tiny."

10:57am sinner:

If you are a coelacanth indeed shouldn't you say you were "dipping your fixed fins in the Drummer Stream" and not "toes?"

🥁

10:57am Granny Spicy Tuna:

holy wow

10:58am Mr C:

Pharaoh Sanders did an album with Norman "You Are My Starship" Connors..

11:00am coelacanth∅:

Doug, %-wise, the drummer stream is my main! there are no shows on give the drummer radio that i don't like; which unfortunately is far from true for the main fmu.

11:01am Jeff Golick:

Pharoah still out there blowing his horn. Though I gather he might've had some hip trouble recently?

11:01am coelacanth∅:

Sinner Kevin, i'm like some dogs that think they're human (or cats; or black bears)

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
That is one I do not own. Must rectify.

11:02am Dave In St Alban's UK:

I agree the GTDR stream is addictive and always worth a listen BUT I like most shows on WFMU too. Lucky to have both with a sprinkling of Sheena too! Happy days.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Percussionist Lawrence Killian appears here and on that Norman Connors LP.

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Good point to make, Dave in St. Alban's UK. I love it all. WFMU is about providing options. An embarrassing wealth of options. And it is also about not trying to please everyone at all times. If something doesn't suit you, check out a different stream or dive into the archives. You are bound to find something worth your time.

11:07am coelacanth∅:

i like ichiban radio mostly, too, i think...i haven't heard some of the shows, simply because of timing; and because of the point mentioned (@10.37) i have to be in the mood. wednesday night is a great example. 2 very excellent shows.
often makes deciding difficult.

11:08am Michael 98145:

definitely a wealth we appreciate

11:09am Michael 98145:

and the dancing folks agree

🥁

11:09am listener james from westwood:

I timeshift so much these days. I catch up with Sunday shows on Monday and Tuesday. Olivia on Friday when I listen to Julie. Some I catch live, some whenever. And deep dives into our longer-tenured DJs' works (hello, Trouble, Liz, Fabio, and that lovable Schulkind scamp!). The archives and the many many options are what make my FMU pledge the easiest expenditure I have every month.

11:10am fleep:

If you like late 60s psychedelia and loony random poetry, try The Nightowl show on Ichiban. Four hours of pure fun.

11:11am Dave In St Alban's UK:

Oh Doug I forgot to mention to amazing archive. Not enough hours in my day and years left in my life to enjoy the thousands of hours listening in the archive as well as listen live. The station(s) and archives are a national treasure. Great show btw.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Vocals here from a young Youssou N'Dour.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

So true, Davd in St. Albans UK. We need more ears!

11:14am Dave In St Alban's UK:

@fleep. Thanks for the recommendation. I shall dip into Ichiban more often.

11:14am coelacanth∅:

i like practically everything i've heard on the night owl, the few times i tuned in to it; but i won't tune in to it! it's disturbing and i don't want to support ai.
the fringe factory, on the other hand, is pure gold!

🥁

11:14am Granny Spicy Tuna:

I cannot keep up with everything i want to listen to on WFMU, it is an abundance of variety and constant discovery for me. And, yes, The Night Owl is a delicious option, and has a very strange game being played by the kooky commentators.

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

@listener james from westwood
As with shrimp scampi, you never want to gnosh on an underprepared Schulkind scamp.

11:15am Thatchmo:

El Thatchmo dipping his toe into the show, as prescribed.

11:16am coelacanth∅:

(and yes i know, there's a person behind the computer voice. it's still a computer voice, and a computer lack of humanity.)

🥁

11:16am Granny Spicy Tuna:

coelacanth∅: Fringe Factory is fantastic. Full disclosure: DJ Vikki V was my college housemate. :)

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

This, friends, is the self-same Thatchmo who will be filling in for Julie on the Drummer Stream on May 23. Noon-3pm. Thanks, Thatchmatazz!

🥁

11:17am Granny Spicy Tuna:

Drat, lookit the time, i gotta swim away into the day. Will it be nori or naan?

11:17am coelacanth∅:

GST, nice! (i think i knew that!)

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Tata, Granny! Nice floating along with you.

11:22am fleep:

Does the Nightowl make your shiver? Does it?

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

That clinking sound was likely a Fanta soda pop bottle getting clonked with a piece of metal.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Akaba Man & The Nigie Rokets was the name of my first band in hi...

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Hey sinner, you still there? Howdy!

11:29am chresti:

GST-as long as it's spicy!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael is gonna slow walk you straight to your happy place. Hinky Dinky Time will take you there! Next! on the Drummer Stream!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Bim bam it knocks you down!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

"Evidence" is a George Jackson number. He recorded it for Fame Studios first, then gave it to Candi.

11:51am Michael 98145:

Thanks again, Doug S

11:51am coelacanth∅:

i must depart
Thanks Doug!
later on y'all

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Michael 98145, coelacanth∅ and everyone: I thank YOU! I had a ball.

11:53am chresti:

re: Nite Owl, it seemed like fun was had when someone's comment earned a "____ needs a welfare check" response.

11:54am chresti:

Thanks Doug!

11:54am Uncle Michael:

Don't forget! Hinky Dinky Time. Up next.

www.wfmu.org...

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hinky Dinky Time. Same party, refreshed punchbowl.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

And those mini weiners-in-blankets that Uncle Michael loves to serve.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

My pleasure, chresti!

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

P L E A S U R E !

🥁

11:59am dutchtheo:

Thanks Doug, for the smooth delivery service.

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

I spilled a little, dutchtheo, but it will come out in the wash.

12:00pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Doug! See you all soon!

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

Thanks, Doug!

12:03pm chresti:

You are a sure to please experience @Doug!

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Happy to be here with you, ljfw!

12:03pm Spaniel:

thanks for getting me through the work AM Doug!

12:04pm Doug Schulkind:
