Had to be out last week Doug, but I wanted to say the Lateef B-day party show was great. Listened to it about 5 times on the archive already and ordered a couple of discs.
always a great show, thanks.

Quietly working in my mother tongue, here liive again, today, not thinking too far off the topic front and centre. Hello.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:05am From: monica

morning, doug. your brass bands sure woke my ass up! in a great way of course...

Fri. 10/30/09 10:06am From: trs

Aunts' tongue twisted.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:07am From: Dr. Rick Marshall

Monica, I'll wake your ass up in a good way

Fri. 10/30/09 10:07am From: Drummer Some

Hey Monica!
This Leroy Van Dyke's for you! (And boy, that Manny Bella is cute.)

Fri. 10/30/09 10:08am From: GP

Good morning everyone.

Auction song proving yet again my theory that there is song for EVERYTHING.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:11am From: Paul Sherratt

That Porter Lp has one of my all-time-favourite covers

Fri. 10/30/09 10:12am From: Drummer Some

Thanks for that, Gumby. The Yusef show was no labor and all love.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:12am From: Jim

Interesting coincidence that you would play Johnny Cash, because I was about to comment that the melody of The Auctioneer sounds to me a lot like that of A Boy Named Sue.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:13am From: monica

thank you, doug! but i feel SO busted!! damn FB....

Fri. 10/30/09 10:14am From: jv gallagher

The auctioneer is a fun song. I can't help thinking of Werner Hertzog's How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck (1976) about Amish auctioneers. Do other countries have auctioneers like ours?

Fri. 10/30/09 10:15am From: GP

Porter Waggoner has a voice like honey on a hot buttered biscuit.

Real letter Miss Gray typed:

Dear You:

Miss Gray.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:17am From: Cecile

YES YES YES
A great song from my childhood

Fri. 10/30/09 10:19am From: Cecile

although it is disturbing that five small girls from 12 to 2 knew all the words...

Fri. 10/30/09 10:22am From: Cecile

Conway Twitty's heart goes bump bump ba.
Most other humans go lup-dup.
He's so cool.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:24am From: PMD

I need to get some John Prine. I haven't heard this before. I had a lot of his old stuff on cassette, and didn't upgrade. Who is he singing with?

Fri. 10/30/09 10:24am From: GP

John and Iris...classic

Their is a funnier song on this album.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:25am From: holland oats

this prine is so good, sickly honest

Fri. 10/30/09 10:25am From: GP

PMD..he is with Iris DeMent

Fri. 10/30/09 10:25am From: PMD

If that's Iris, note to self to also get her too! Darn,,, too much to get.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:25am From: GP

Their = there...sheesh

Fri. 10/30/09 10:26am From: PMD

OK, what's the best Iris DeMent album to get?

Fri. 10/30/09 10:27am From: Carmichael

Happy payday, everyone.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:28am From: annie

my life, pmd

Fri. 10/30/09 10:28am From: lipwak

For Iris, Infamous Angel,

Fri. 10/30/09 10:31am From: annie

ditto on that lipwak, too her first two are the best..

Fri. 10/30/09 10:32am From: PMD

Thanks! OK, oh fonts of knowledge - best John Prine?

Fri. 10/30/09 10:33am From: Drummer Some

@PMD
Iris's "My Life" makes me weep like a baby. In a good way.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:34am From: Bad Ronald

That's DeMented...

Fri. 10/30/09 10:35am From: annie

i love that song her mother sings, drumsome..

Fri. 10/30/09 10:35am From: Cecile

You could sing this song to "I've got to use my imagination"

Fri. 10/30/09 10:36am From: gumby

The John Prine 2 disc Anthology is pretty tasty.
Goes back to "Illegal Smile" and "There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes stuff"

Fri. 10/30/09 10:36am From: Cecile

BILLY JAM ARE YOU READING THIS? This sounds like a mashup
Sounderarajan vs. the Pips.

Fri. 10/30/09 10:44am From: Paul Sherratt

I'll second gumby on that Prine selection, PMD. Every home should own a 'Sam Stone '

Fri. 10/30/09 10:44am From: PMD

'Thanks Doug and Gumby. Gumby - does it include That's the Way the World Goes Round - one of my favoritest songs of all time? Oh, guess i could look myself...

Fri. 10/30/09 10:44am From: seang

cant get that song Happy Talk from South Pacific outta my head--that melody is something else

Fri. 10/30/09 10:45am From: annie

seang, i like captain sensible's version..

Fri. 10/30/09 10:46am From: Drummer Some

@seang
The crazy thing is that South Pacific was amazingly ahead of the curve on race issues. Won the freaking Pulitzer. Incredible!

Fri. 10/30/09 10:46am From: Paul Sherratt

PMD,
That song IS on the Rhino Anthology

Fri. 10/30/09 10:49am From: Cecile

No kidding, Doug?

*Bali Hai-five*

Fri. 10/30/09 10:49am From: PMD

Cool. Thanks!

Fri. 10/30/09 10:49am From: seang

yeah Annie me too--been listening to it on the archives--first heard dizzee rascal rapping over it then searched backwards for the original--so great!

Fri. 10/30/09 10:57am From: Dan

Have you guys done some work on your transmitter? WFMU is coming in clearer than I remember.....

Fri. 10/30/09 10:58am From: v k

wfmu radio reception - worst place i know of is on I-80 near Paterson, NJ - almost no reception for approx. 5 miles

Fri. 10/30/09 11:02am From: Cecile

has anyone thought of doing a massive reissue of stuff in the vaults of Flying Dutchman if it hasn't happened already/ There's loads of great records on that label.

Fri. 10/30/09 11:03am From: Drummer Some

@Dan
Actually, we may have done some things to improve our reception. Where are you tuning in from?

Fri. 10/30/09 11:08am From: Drummer Some

@Cecile
A massive number of great old Flying Dutchman LPs are available at a blog that has aggregated download links all over the blogosphere. You can find them all here:

Fri. 10/30/09 11:10am From: Cecile

thanks!
My favorite Gato Barbieri records are all on that label.

Fri. 10/30/09 11:13am From: Dan

Tuning in from Park Slope....

Fri. 10/30/09 11:14am From: seang

just saw Last Tango in Paris for the first time last night

Fri. 10/30/09 11:17am From: Cecile

i've never seen it, actually!
And to me, although it's a great soundtrack, it is probably one of the least typical of Gato's mid 70s recordings..

Haven't seen the movie...

Fri. 10/30/09 11:18am From: Cecile

der redundant we are today.

Fri. 10/30/09 11:19am From: gumby

PMD, sorry had a meeting there.
Yes world goes round is on there and a great duet with Bonnie Raitt of Angel from Montgomery (I think that's the title)

Fri. 10/30/09 11:22am From: gumby

I think th eJohn Prine anthology is called Great Days

Fri. 10/30/09 11:23am From: annie

seang, funny, i just saw it this year, for the first time and i'm close to 60!!! interesting flick..

Fri. 10/30/09 11:32am From: lipwak

Doug, You and others may enjoy New Orleans' own Noisician Coalition. A marching band made up of bull horns, trashcans and lots of homemade adapted instruments. I'm on a kick, promoting them where I can. They have a myspace page http://www.myspace.com/noisician

Cheers,

lipwak

Fri. 10/30/09 11:35am From: Drummer Some

@lipwak
Thanks for that. My nose hairs are tinglin'.

Fri. 10/30/09 11:36am From: Hugo

Here's the cover of the Tchicai:

SAJ is, I believe, a sub-label of FMP.

Fri. 10/30/09 11:39am From: Filip

Hey Doug! Greetings from Beijing! Listening live... Hearing your show makes me feel like home:-)

Fri. 10/30/09 11:42am From: Drummer Some

@Filip
Hey hey! From Beijing. Wow. Send me an email later. I'd love to ask you some questions about Internet use in China. No, really!

Fri. 10/30/09 11:44am From: Barcli

Fri. 10/30/09 11:48am From: GP

Fri. 10/30/09 11:49am From: Paul Sherratt

Filip,
I was given to understand that Steve Barker, at-a-distance proprietor of BBC Radio Lancashire's legendary ' On The Wire ' show runs a dub reggae club in Beijing ! Sounds curious ...

Fri. 10/30/09 11:49am From: holland oats

Later, a guy is somewhere, out back, in the dark, playing a flute.
