Good morning, big-eared friends!

8:49am annie:

good morning!

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

What's sweet and new in your world, annie?!

8:51am doncaballero:

What a nice surprise! For some reason, I had it in my head that you were on vacation this week and next. But, looks like I was off by one week!

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

@doncaballero
I'm only off for one week, and that includes next Friday's show. (Usually I do take two weeks off, but I haven't accrued enough vacation days yet at my new job.)

8:55am doncaballero:

Well, bummer for you . . . but good for us!

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

I am thrilled to be here. Missing these Friday therapy sessions isn't my favorite thing.

9:01am annie:

this, doug: a friend took care of someof my plants while i was away andi got them back yesterday with a small interloper, an orchid plant! i have no idea what kind it is, buti finally have an orchid all my own!!

9:02am Maggie B.:

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

An Orchid I Can Call My Own.

It sounds like a novel!

Heloooooooo, mauri!

🥁

9:11am dutchtheo:

Howdy! is that Jean Harlow?

🥁

9:12am doctorjazz:

Hi Drummers! Been listening to the new Abdullah Ibrahim album (not bad for an 84 year old...actually it's really nice), in preparation for seeing him tonight. Psyched! (I'm an old groupie)

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, dutchtheo! Nope, it is none other than Norma Deloris Egstrom (otherwise known as Peggy Lee).

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Abdullah Ibrahim is a international treasure, doctorjazz. Please give him my best!

9:16am david w:

Completely ridiculous, and I love it! Hi, Doug and all!

🥁

9:16am dutchtheo:

Aha, yes Peggy, I have a black coffee

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

You're completely david w, and I love you!

9:18am david w:

Regarding the Thai accordion of course, not Peggy or Ibrahim. Though, at times...

9:18am northguineahills:

Just weighed my self at 132 lbs.,60 kg. That's the least I've weighed since I as 14 years old (when puberty happened). I was 165 in May, so most of the weight must of come off in the last few moving, especially those damn recs...

9:18am Mr C:

Peggy Lee doesn't break a sweat..alright, okay, I win.

🥁

9:18am Brian in UK:

Hello Mr Drummer and funsters.

@doctorjazz, not jealous, really.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Here's to a second puberty, northguineahills!

How dry you am, Mr C!

I'm funning as fast as I can, Brian in UK!

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Virtually all if not literally all the tracks in this set were lovingly shared by Peter Doolan at his astonishing Thai music blog Monrakplengthai: monrakplengthai.blogspot.com

9:30am chresti:

Morning Drum!

9:33am Uncle Michael:

9:36am northguineahills:

feliz cumpleanos, chresti the besti!

9:37am david w:

Thai and tacos! My faves! And yay, chresti!

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

I'll be having lobstah tacos (metaphorically if not lterally) for dinner tomorrow!

9:40am chresti:

Thanks guys!

9:40am Andrew Waterloo:

I had a taco at the Metalachi concert on Wednesday

9:42am Gina B:

Morning, Drummerstreamers!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Someday Gina B!

9:44am fleep:

(surfacing) Greetings!

9:44am northguineahills:

@Andrew: I just had a conversation w/ a friend of mine last night, is that my favorite food is anything in a tortilla, including grillos (crickets). It's half of what I eat (the tortilla part, I have to have my mother-in-law mail me chili-lime crickets, and Oaxacan delicacy.

🥁

9:45am Brian in UK:

chresti, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Is that two in a week in your house?

9:46am fleep:

chresti happy birthday

9:46am fleep:

Leos gotta stick together

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

The Chili-Lime Crickets was the name of my first band in high school.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Grab yourself some well-deserved oxygen, fleep!

9:47am Gina B:

Happy Birthday, fellow Leo chresti!!!

🥁

9:48am Brian in UK:

Will attempt (without a net) to make shawarmas next week.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Happy birthday (it's Wednesday, yes?) in advance, Gina!

9:48am chresti:

In 2 weeks, Brian in UK, Franco's was the 19th of July. Thanks.

🥁

9:49am doctorjazz:

Happy Birthdays, Chresti and Gina!

9:50am chresti:

Thanks fleep and Gina and doc!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

I love mariachi so much, I want to marry mariachi!

9:54am Gina B:

Thanks, doctorjazz! Mine's the 7th...

9:54am northguineahills:

I think fleep is a boto cor de rosa, an Amazonian fresh-water that in Brazilian mythology, sometimes takes human form, and always wears hats, to hide their blowhole....

9:56am northguineahills:

An Amazonian mythological creature....

9:58am northguineahills:

We can thank German immigrants to Mexico for mariachi, they introduced decent beer and accordions!

9:58am Andrew Waterloo:

I've been trying new chilli's and just made a chicken chilli with hominy. Nothing as extreme as crickets yet

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

And we can thank Mexican immigrants to Hawaii for Hawaiian slide guitar. Funny how the world works.

10:03am northguineahills:

I took a bunch of my Carolina reapers and ghost peppers and poblanos from my garden when I moved yesterday. I'll miss that garden. (There were no new herbs, but the eggplants were looking strong, and the milkweed attracted Monarchs and other butterflies. I hope the new tenants keep the milkweed for the sake of the monarchs.

10:03am fleep:

I do start the day with chanca piedra, that's actually Amazonian.

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Where'd you move to, northguineahills?

10:05am thedunkel / el carnicero francés:

Buenos Dias Señor Drummer! Buenos días a todos!

10:06am northguineahills:

@Doug: and as you know, Hawaiian music became the rage in the 30s in the mainland, and that's how slide guitar started to become mainstay in country music (although there was a second burst in the early 60s)

I'm outside Jacksonville for two days, helping my friend's gallery Saturday in Gainesville, and will be in Orlando Sunday and resume my interviews.

10:07am northguineahills:

Digging the last few Norteno tracks....

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Viva thedunkel!

10:10am chresti:

What ngh said

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

I dig it when you dig it, ya dig?

10:15am fleep:

Wypipo trying to coopt other cultures ... kind of soulless

10:15am fleep:

Now there's some soul

10:17am northguineahills:

I need to rip the bunch of mariachi-esque 78's I scored at a junk store in Mexico (shellac has a habit of breaking).

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Mariachiesque is my new favorite word.

10:19am northguineahills:

Is Dan Bodah at the controls?

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

It is Fryday, after all, northguineahills.

10:24am northguineahills:

digging this segue....

10:24am rw:

Morning! I want to rhyme candy with grande.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

I have news for you, rw, YOU JUST DID!

10:26am chresti:

Love this one!

10:27am chresti:

I have Down in Mexico on a compilation

10:29am chresti:

@the Pelicans

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

I could do a whole show of versions of Down in Mexico (or different songs all called Down in Mexico).

10:35am annie:

i clicky-starring the whole show so far

10:35am chresti:

Getting ready to leave for' Frisco this morning. (Tell Dean not to worry, Franco isn't going to look for him in Berkeley)

🥁

10:36am Brian in UK:

Just making a Mauritian chicken and potato curry. It's from Mauritius so should be delicious.

10:39am annie:

i just found a recipe for liver pate, simple ingredients; a weston a price version.just called to order pork livers..

10:40am Franco Twinkie:

Doug, My grandfather walked from Aguascalientes where he was born, to California when he was eighteen years old and never went back. When my grandmother would pester him to go back, he would reply; No! I owe Mexico nothing. He was a man of few words, but we always guessed something really traumatic happened to him as when he was a kid. Oh yeah, he hated priests too, so go figure,

10:40am annie:

maine..... sigh......

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

The great Hugh Lawson on piano there. So great.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

@Franco Twinkie
That's a short story right there. Or maybe an opera.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

I used to watch a TV comedy called My Favorite Mauritian.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

This is where I'll be for the next 10 days if you wanna come visit: www.google.com...

10:57am Sem:

W'e'll round up an off-duty lobster boat captain, and send him for you.
So close, Doug, so close.

10:57am northguineahills:

@Franco: My wife loves Aguacalientes, and promised to take me, yet has yet to happen.

🥁

10:58am Brian in UK:

Today is International Beer Day, so do your best.
www.daysoftheyear.com...

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

I'll be buying my lobsters right off the boat from here: www.stoningtonlobstercoop.com

10:59am doctorjazz:

Know Betch from the Threadgill band. Haven't heard his recordings. This is great!

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

Humblebrag...

I once spent the afternoon with Max Roach in his apartment. (We had apple pie.) While I was there, he took a phone call from John Betsch.

I wrote about that experience here: www.facebook.com...

11:04am northguineahills:

off to get a hair cut, got to look professional for the gov't jobs (haven't cut my hair in four months.

11:06am Stork:

Good morning from Cape Cod from Stork's mom. Oh, yeah, and Stork, too, I guess.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Hair cuts, not job cuts!

🥁

11:07am dutchtheo:

Thanks Brian, I needed this encouragement/excuse, cheers

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

Stork and Mom! A pleasure and an honor!

11:08am Dominick:

Oh this is just what I needed

11:12am trsherie:

Great greetings to you, wfmu and all the music you herald.
Lobstah and Fundy on the horizon. Enjoy!

🥁

11:14am Brian in UK:

Doug, Brian's taxi is on call out. Got to go. Have a wonderful rest after this busy year.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, trsherie! Lobstah definitely, though I'll be just a wee bit south of the Bay of Fundy.

🥁

11:18am Brian in UK:

Just a quick thought before departure. Has anyone traversed the Atlantic in a coracle?

11:20am Sem:

Ray Manzarekian organ, eh?

🥁

11:20am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

For a second i thought the title was Cayenne Sofa and i thought, YOW! Well, you'd certainly have to get up and dance.

Hi, Doug and everyone!

11:20am Sem:

Had me going in circles.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Manzarekian is almost as good a word as mariachiesque!

Howdy, Granny Spicy Tuna!

11:23am fleep:

GST!

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Have a wildly peaceful weekend, Brian in UK!

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Cayenne Sofa was the name of my second band in high school.

11:30am Mr C:

Doug- how do you actually get to Stonington..?

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Practice practice practice!

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Something, something, something...at the Hinky top of the Dinky hour. It's almost Time. Join me, won't you?

www.wfmu.org...

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

Or... You could drive up 95 into Maine, then cut over for Route 3 (I think) to Route 1 along the coast. Then turn south on Route 15 south to Deer Isle.

But this year I'm flying to Bangor and my wife and kid are picking me up.

11:33am Uncle Michael:

First boxcar, midnight train...

11:35am Mr C:

Man, the Pirates took Herbie's Headhunters to heart. What's up with that?

11:40am Uncle Michael:

What's up with that is Clint Hurdle is a thug.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

The Pirates don't throw up and in any more than other teams, despite what Joe Maddon groans about. They do have shitty pitchers with little control.

Ah, I see you've bought the Kool-Aid®, Uncle Michael.

11:41am Hams:

i'm holdin' on!

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

For dear life, Hams, for dear life!

11:43am Uncle Michael:

I've always though Hurdle was a thug. I'm pretty sure Maddon doesn't manage the Reds.

11:43am Uncle Michael:

I've also never heard Maddon say a word about Hurdle. He may have done, but I haven't heard it.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Bell, who has been tossed eight times this year, is not your strongest character witness, Uncle Michael.

11:45am Uncle Michael:

I did enjoy Hurdle's "hold me back" act as he kept on flapping his yap.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Hurdle is a lunkhead spouting inane platitudes, but he's not a thug. No more ready to order his pitchers to deliver chin-music justice than half the skippers out there.

11:46am Mr C:

Hold me back is one of baseball's great traditions..

11:46am Uncle Michael:

I don't agree.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael, you're benched. Go grab a shower.

11:49am Uncle Michael:

As for Maddon, I not only will be surprised if he's offered another contract in Chicago, I'll be very unhappy. He's phoning it in. Christ, he sent Holland in to face a righty.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Shit, the deejay's union overruled me. Get back in your chair.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

You got a quick hook, Doug.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Honestly, I would take Maddon in a heartbeat. I've always liked him.

11:51am Mr C:

Me too!

11:51am Marie:

Loving the guitar in this. Howdy, Doug. Have a great trip. Sounds fantastic.

11:51am Mr C:

Epstein got rid of Francona as well..

11:52am burke:

@UM Wieters is a switch hitter (if that's what you're talking about)

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for restoring the civilized tone, Marie!!! That was a sweet guitar.

11:53am Uncle Michael:

Joe may benefit from a change of scenery...he's bored in Chicago. He's probably not going to take another job. He's the oldest manager in MLB.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

@burke
Dropping the knowledge! (Wieters was my Orioles' backstop for many not quite fine enough years.)

11:53am Sem:

Safe travels, DS. And please, consider the lobster: genius.com...

11:54am Marie:

Hey, I don't even know what you guys are talking about (I mean, I know it is baseball and baseball players) but it is interesting

11:55am Uncle Michael:

burke, Holland can't pitch to righties. His coming into the game was automatically going to turn Wieters around.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

I gotta go!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the kerfuffle, Doug!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Sem
I would love to read that on vacay!

@Marie
We don't know what we're talking about either.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

More bad baseball advice and fantastic music is coming up on HINKY DINKY TIME with Uncle Michael!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:58am Uncle Michael:

HOLD ME BACK!

11:58am trsherie:

Location bias, me?
Nice hearing you again. Happy travels.

11:58am burke:

Thanks Doug!

🥁

11:59am dutchtheo:

Thanks Doug, have a great Maine lobster trip.

🥁

12:00pm Artie:

Thanks, Doug!!

12:00pm rw:

THX DS! Have a great vacation!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks all! That was very fun!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:
