Listener comments!

7:14am A Phlebotomist Writes:

If I just tiptoe quietly to the back of class, perhaps sir wont notice me chewing on this stick of celery whilst the download homework links are being writ on the blackboard.
What's this on the chair, ah disgusting. That Tuesday class is the pits.

8:15am Doug Schulkind:

Mr. Phlebotomist, please solve the equation on the board. (This represents 35% of your grade.)

8:16am earwax:

My dog ate my homework

8:19am Van in DC:

Happy Good Friday! Glad I got here early enough for a decent seat; they seem to be going fast!

8:20am Doug Schulkind:

There will be a make-up session this afternoon for listeners who failed the mid-term. And if one of you is behind the campus bomb threats, you will be expelled immediately.

8:23am Doug Schulkind:

Mr. Smith, you seem to have a good handle on this unit. (As usual.)

8:24am Van in DC:

But...but...my mid-term had only one question...

1. What does GTDR stand for?

And I stayed up ALLLLLL night studying for that.

8:28am earwax:

Can I copy your homework?

8:44am Altogether Other Planet:

oh man this is good whatever it is.. Come on playlist update thing, update!

8:45am Van in DC:

You can eat my homework! My homework was to make some yummy blueberry muffins for class today. Pass 'em around!

http://healthywaists.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/blueberry-muffins.jpg

8:45am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Altogether,
The playlist doesn't update until the show begins, at 9am (ET). For the songs playing now, check your iTunes, Winamp or iTunes app for the song info. Or just ask me...

8:47am Van in DC:

I'm enjoying the Asian set here too. This seems to be "Chatri Sichon & Yuphin Phraethong - Mon Siang Phleng"?

8:49am listener james from westwood:

the top hit-getter on the website of a nursing magazine i used to work for was a healthy blueberry muffin recipe. muffins beat charting and mrsa how-tos in a walk.

8:49am listener james from westwood:

morning all and happy friday to all braving the stream's rapids!

8:50am Altogether Other Planet:

oh right... this one's super. The siamese sounding one before that was terrific too. Sounding too good up here on an escarpment in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney tonight.

8:50am jill:

"Teacher's pet... I wanna be the teacher's pet" ala Bob Geldof

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

You've got it, Van. Chatri & Yuphin!

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Jill. Pass the Zapps.

8:53am annie:

good morning everyone!!

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry to fade down Asha Bhosle and Mahendra Kapoor, but the show must go on.

Hi Annie!

8:55am glenn:

blecccccccccchhhhhhh.

8:57am Altogether Other Planet:

oh yeh पूरब और पशचिम my parent had this record when I was little

8:57am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:57am glenn:

not a comment on the musical quality. more a statement on my spring cold / hangover quality.

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there Glenn and ndbob!

9:01am kat330:

Found it finally! Hi, Doug, et al. Listening via the digital audio box, but I'll try to get back to the keyboard once in a blue moon. Happy Friday!

9:01am glenn:

howdy, all.

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Someone pass Glenn a box of aloe-infused tissues.

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
So glad it's working! Cheers to you and JT aka Mr. Fixit.

9:04am Van in DC:

Do I hear spoons in the background there? ;)

9:05am still b/p:

Good morning.
All the Aussies aboard is lucky because they get to eat chocolate bilbies at Easter. Oh, baby, I want a dark chocolate bilby badly.

9:06am Altogether Other Planet:

oh no not just the choc ones mate

9:07am still b/p:

Tossing real bilbies on the barby?

9:07am glenn:

have a tim tam. best cookie ever, also from australia.

9:08am northguineahills:

Good awesome morning!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Where is Listener Bec from Sydney when we need her?

9:10am ::JT::

Morning Doug & Everybody! Nice having a Friday off to be able to listen in. Love this John Holt song.

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

The best cookie in the universe comes from Baltimore:

bit.ly...

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Sir Lord Comic's real name = Percival Wauchope

9:13am ndbob:

Hmm Doug... I respectfully disagree there - I grew up eating Berger's cookies, and while I always thought they were good, they seemed really overrated.

9:14am Altogether Other Planet:

We'll bbq most anything... doing some Balmain Bugs and yabbies Sunday. Pumped 'em myself.

http://tinyurl.com/86jkzro

9:14am listener james from westwood:

adding this to the many other reasons i owe myself a trip to bawlmer

9:16am listener james from westwood:

doug, you might want to get yourself invited to some local weddings, according to this nyt story: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/16/dining/16cookies.html?pagewanted=all

9:16am Parq:

Hi, all. Struggling through my Friday morning routine.

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob, please sit in the corner facing the wall. Your Berger's bashing is an abomination.

9:17am Parq:

DrumSum, made a visit to Record Mart in Times Sq Station last night. As usual, I carried the mantle of your tradition in with me.

9:17am glenn:

lord baltimore has a lot to answer for.

9:18am Altogether Other Planet:

haha those chicks are all like "fuck it. I'm hitting the cookie table."

9:18am dc pat:

great opening set, just right for Friday morn..

9:18am ::JT::

Sir Lord Baltimore?

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
What??!! Is Record Mart open extant alive! How could this be so??!!

9:19am ndbob:

@Doug - facing the wall but listening to GTDS and eating a crab cake.... and being diabetic now and having to watch my sugar consumption have to be careful about cookie consumption etc.

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
No wonder you don't like Berger's. Sorry I brought it up. You can come back to the chair circle.

9:22am A Phlebotomist Writes:

Stand up for Lamingtons.

9:22am still b/p:

A pear Pim is pretty damn good, but well-made home-made toll house cookies rule the universe in perpetuity.

That Balmain Bug has a dozen good names! I like "squagga"...reminds me of Native American terms & names used in New England.

9:23am ndbob:

the best chocolate topped cookies ever in Baltimore were those made by Silber's bakery when I was growing up.... it's fine Doug - i still munch on cookies but have to be pretty selective re sugar content.

9:24am dc pat:

I dunno....why eat cookies or cake or anything else when you can eat pecan pie with ice cream?

9:24am Hugo:

Quiet here - half the family is off to Spain, the other half is holding the fort, with Felix the Cat.

9:25am Parq:

DrumSum, seriously? I could swear I remember emailing you when they were getting ready to reopen and you replying that you already knew about it.

9:25am dc pat:

crap, listening with a decent pair of headphones and the bass is just BOOMING!!

9:25am ndbob:

I will admit I do eat that on occasion Pat:)

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
Funny coincidence. That story about wedding cookies in Pittsburgh was published in the New York Times THE SAME DAY Jessie and I decided to move to the Steel City! We took it as some kind of sign.

No wedding invites yet, however.

The next "sign" we received occurred a few days later during a visit to Pittsburgh (arranged by Jessie's future employer). We went to the local food coop to check out the scene and the first person we see coming out of the place was wearing a WFMU t-shirt. I almost started crying.

9:26am Altogether Other Planet:

oh this haunted house is my jam Thx Doug. 'Night evrbody!

9:27am dc pat:

East End Food Coop?

9:27am Hugo:

Forward de bass!

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

@dc pat
That's the one.

9:27am Parq:

That story about the t-shirt is freaking marvelous.

9:28am ndbob:

Wow Doug.. I remember going to Bumbershoot when I live din Seattle and running into someone with the same WFMU t-shirt I was wearing - his wife took pics

9:29am dc pat:

yeah that was my food source when I was there. This set is sounding like source material for a Clash song...which is good, way good...

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Did Papa San just say "cosmetologist"?!

9:33am Van in DC:

What @Parq said!

9:33am kat330:

Spoons are no longer rattling, but now it's time for morning workout (late because JT's home) -- great workout music, Doug! And weighing in, ahem, on the cookie debate: I'm w/dc pat on the pecan pie, or even better, pumpkin pie. Never been a cookie or cake fan.

9:33am Hugo:

Roast fish and corn bread (Thought I mix food with this set)

9:35am listener james from westwood:

our people are everywhere. you shall know them by their shirts. or bumper stickers.

9:36am trs:

Giant loaf of cornbread baked in a roasting, uh, glass thing.

9:39am listener james from westwood:

never thought to do cornbread in loaf form; interesting.

9:40am trs:

What do you do?

9:40am ndbob:

Spade was not exactly a nice guy

9:41am listener james from westwood:

usu put it in a 9x9 pan, then cut it into chunks. mom actually bakes them into mini-loaves (like the ones at boston market) using a special 6-loaf pan thing.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Had vegan cornbread recently. Was surprisingly edible.

9:43am glenn:

yeah, vegans aren't the tastiest bunch.

9:45am Artie:

I've heard of "everything but the squeal", but this cat goes right down to the Grunt.

9:45am ::JT::

Grunt Song is going well with kat330s workout!

9:45am ndbob:

great one here Doug!

9:45am still b/p:

I WON'T have what he's having.

9:46am marcury:

Grunt, Grunt!

9:46am listener james from westwood:

too on the nose to follow this up w screamin jay's constipation blues?

9:46am earwax:

Spade was definitely not a nice guy, killed his wife. He kept showing up in James Ellroy stories. Most people in James Ellroy stories are definitely not what you would call nice.

9:46am ::JT::

Though hard to exercise when you're laughing out loud!

9:47am glenn:

james ellroy's not particularly nice himself.

9:47am listener james from westwood:

spade was the dictionary definition of what ellroy's protagonists (won't say heroes) would call a "shitbird."

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Hallo still b/p and howdy Marcury!

9:52am Wendy del Formaggio:

Good morning Doug and everyone! I've been tuning in sporadically this morning in between phone calls and what-not (I'm at work), and as usual, I'm enjoying the show. "Music To Write About Cheese To"

9:52am ndbob:

this could have been a hit here

9:53am marcury:

Wow, Gil Noble is gone! There's a major loss.

9:58am listener james from westwood:

the actor who played gigi cestone (the heart attack on the crapper guy) on the sopranos was reputedly infuriated at the way he went out. this was before vito was whacked, so he got off (or was sent off) easy.

9:58am Hugo:

I was given this one by a Peruvian colleague in the office. Now I have to figue out what it's all about. My Spanish is a little rusty.

http://elamarill0.blogspot.com/2010/01/la-sarita-mamacha-simona-2009.html

9:58am Mark T in VT:

The difference is when those radio stations pretend to be and act like they are local. It is BS and fools a lot of dumb people.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

@Mark T in VT
Yes, of course, THAT is what bugs me about it. Thank yor for culling the meaning from my rant.

10:01am Wendy del Formaggio:

Doug, back to your story about seeing an FMU shirt in Pittsburgh: back in the mid-90s, even before the live audio stream, I made friends with a guy up here in VT because he had an FMU shirt on, and in the local co-op, too! Hmm, maybe it's the same guy! He trolls the nation's co-ops in FMU shirts. haha.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

And now Charlie Lewis works in the very coop! (I think it's the same coop.)

10:03am ndbob:

If anyone is interested in the Cuca Records story, there is a master's thesis on the label
http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/MillsSpColl/MillsSpColl-idx?id=MillsSpColl.FilznHCuca

10:03am ndbob:

nice set here Doug!

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Coming up the track after next will be a long, gorgeous poetic meditation by Mikis Theodorakis. Go pee now if you have to. You've three minutes...

10:04am Wendy del Formaggio:

You're right! It is the same co-op. My co-op FMU shirt friend was (maybe still is) close friends with former regular volunteer Howie. And he still lives around here. But I guess he could have been visiting Pittsburgh...

10:04am Mark T in VT:

I have a wfmu t-shirt on about 98% of the time when not at work, and sometimes at work. Even have a couple I use for jammie shirts. But I was not a listener before the internet stream since I am not in the broadcast area.

10:05am annie:

just in time doug; i have eaten my breakfast and am sitting again....

10:06am marcury:

Always wear my FMU Ts to work, I have @ 20 and the kitchen is open, so I hope folks are getting the word.

10:06am Wendy del Formaggio:

Mark, if you're in SE VT, look for me and my WFMU t-shirts!

10:06am Parq:

Okay, my Drummer-Radio-less office awaits. See ya'll on the on-air comments.

10:07am northguineahills:

When I wore my shirt to work, I would meet the most random WFMU fans.

10:07am charlie:

Morning, Doug! Hi all. Hello Wendy! (Yes, you do have many 'FMU tees)

10:07am trs:

I think the range of women of wfmu need more say in the sizing of shirts. Some series are baffling in the lack of fit.

10:07am still b/p:

Speaking/hearing of folk traditions, and after talking last week about the newly available Lomax trove of audio, I'm going to see documentary of Lomax film clips tomorrow. I don't remember the Patchwork series on public TV in early 90s, and sorry I somehow missed it.

10:08am dc pat:

crap missed the cornbread conversation. My family's from KY and I grew up on the stuff. Mom use to bake it in special iron trays with molds shaped like ears of corn.

10:09am Wendy del Formaggio:

Charlie! Good morning!

10:09am monica:

morning, doug! have been tuned in since "mr. tv man" and lovin' every minute. a good friday indeed.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

Charlie, your good name was just invoked in the comments moments ago.

10:10am ndbob:

morning Charlie!

10:10am trs:

Here's a new one. It's part of our 'boob crusher' line.
Fantastic.

10:11am charlie:

Nice! (Don't tell me about the bad things that were said.)
Hi Monica!

10:12am Wendy del Formaggio:

Charlie, only good things. Hi Monica!

10:12am charlie:

and, yes, same co-op

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Comrade Monica!

10:13am charlie:

And... hiya Bob!

10:13am Hugo:

Speaking of deaths, there are reports that the president of Malawi has died. Not news to shake the world, but for some of my colleagues in the office who are writing a book on Malawian politics, it is big news. Succession highly uncertain, given that the country has turned more and more autocratic.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

And happy day to you, trs. Sorry 'bout the shirt fiasco.

10:14am marcury:

Theodorakis State of Siege poems: http://en.mikis-theodorakis.net/index.php/article/articleview/298/1/48/

10:14am kat330:

We just lost the stream here. :( But at least I'm done w/workout and back on the keyboard.

10:14am monica:

Yo, Chaz, WenDelFor, and all Drummer Some-ers...

10:15am Mark T in VT:

I have been to the Brattleboro co-op and like to go to McNeil's pub when down there. We have Hunger Mountain co-op here and a couple other smaller ones around.

10:16am ndbob:

I saw that Hugo.

10:16am trs:

Hey Doug. It's not that big a deal. The metaphorical "boob crushing" in the halls of power is far more disconcerting.

10:16am kat330:

OK, stream is back.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

A translation (I think): bit.ly...

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

@trs
I can think of a number of boobs in the halls of power who could use a good crushing.

10:20am listener james from westwood:

i think boob crushing is part of the santorum platform. that and taking eminent domain of the nations uteri.

10:20am trs:

Ah ha. Good point.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Santorum read Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" and thought it was a how-to primer.

10:24am northguineahills:

Hmmmm, I was just perusing the news, and didn't see anything on the president of Malawi. Well, I suppose they have a female president now. (I read way too much since I've been unemployed)

10:25am Van in DC:

I was just going to say, wow, sounds like Santana!

10:25am trs:

Mali and Malawi.

10:27am ndbob:

Lots of trouble in Mali this past week.

10:27am Hugo:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/06/malawi-president-bingu-wa-mutharika

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17636393

10:28am northguineahills:

Just getting back from the beeb article.
yeah, and Mali is a headache and a half right now.

10:31am northguineahills:

When did they change the flag of Malawi? I missed that. (i'm a geographer)

10:32am ken:

is the scott laforo show archived? i couldn't catch the whole one the other night? want to hear that rehearsal. thx.

10:32am northguineahills:

Never heard Etchingham Steam Band, only heard of them from Rob Young's "Electric Eden".

10:32am Wendy del Formaggio:

Mark, one day i'd like to visit Hunger Mtn. I used to talk to them regularly when I was a salesperson at Northeast a million years ago.

10:32am Brain in KU:

Arta noon all. Theodorakis is a hero of mine, his Journals of Resistance are worth reading. Getting a bit reactionary these days by all accounts.
ngh cannot get Phil Ochs 'The Party' out of my head today.

10:33am Hugo:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17635437

The Mali story is about a Tuareg separatist movement. Perhaps calls for a Tinariwen tune on the show?

10:33am ::JT::

This is reminding me of all those great Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger albums...

10:34am Brain in KU:

Hugo I believe the president who was displaced in Mali recently originally got in by a coup then elections.

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

@JT
You can get all the MacColl & Seeger you need right here:

bit.ly...

The link is dead to Volume 1, but I think the rest are good.

10:37am Brain in KU:

Doug, synchronicity, I was looking at 'Outsinging the Nightingale' earlier today. It is the precursor of the three volume set that you mined perviously?

10:38am kat330:

And this loveliness is akin to the "O, Brother..." soundtrack. As a sidenote, I was a blind child for a few weeks myself.

10:38am trs:

Mali's north is in the Sahara. What? Did someone discover oil? Makes me wonder why else a desert in claim?

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Brain
No, I think that IS the set I mined. It's a 4-CD box, methinks.

10:39am ::JT::

Thanks Doug! I have some Argo lp's, and Saturday Night at the Bull & Mouth, and a cd or two but they were tough to find even in Finland when I was collecting... this looks like a treasure trove!

10:39am ndbob:

looking at my copy of "Outsinging the Nightingale" - released in 2010

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
Wow. I was a deaf child for about six months.

10:40am joe:

'ello folks
Morning Doug

10:40am Hugo:

@ngh: Not sure about the change of flag, but I can find out.

10:41am ndbob:

Lauren Brody.. the compiler - put together a single CD of similar material a few years ago.

10:41am Michael:

On Wednesday I go shopping and have buttered scones for tes...

10:41am Dave Hersh:

Watching UEFA, the Masters, and all to this soundtrack... Doug, MEts might finish lower than Pirates this year... you moved to the right BB buoyed hotspot.

10:42am kat330:

@Doug: Amazing grace! My case was a rock right in the eye from my older bully bro'. Was yours a fever or somesuch?

10:43am northguineahills:

@Hugo, I'm a geek about such (and most) things.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Morning, um, Joe!

@Dave Hersh
My two favorite teams: Mets and Orioles (with Pirates as an adopted pleasure). Woe is freaking me.

10:45am northguineahills:

Europa cup, all Iberian semis.....

10:46am Carmichael:

And a Huckleberry Houuuund Dog Howdy, Doug and everyone. We made it to Friday.

10:46am still b/p:

Saw Bombino the other night. Wondered if he'd have concerns about fresh developments near his home region, but he had little to say other than "Merci" to an enthusiastic audience.

10:46am Hugo:

@trs: It's more because the Tuaregs are ethnically very different from the black majority population.

10:47am glenn:

yesterday's opening day games set some interesting and a little obscure records. the longest opening day game, won by my blue jays, and it was the first o.d. to have five pitchers throw more than seven innings and give up less than two hits.

10:47am kat330:

@Carm: Just in time for the "naked woman"?

10:47am Brain in KU:

Doug/ndbob I was thinking of the single CD Song of the Crooked Dance. Thanks for correction.

A lot of the people in Mali now have drifted south from Libya.

10:48am Dave Hersh:

Orioles and Mets play in June, where y'at on returning for that one?

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

@kat3330
Around the age of three, my adenoids were so swollen, they compress my auditory nerves. I wrote about it (sorta) here:

bit.ly...

10:50am Hugo:

@ngh: Answer from my Malawian contact:

"It was changed in 2009 coz Bhingu decided that Malawi was now "developed" and thus the rising sun was no longer apprpriate. So we got a boiled egg instead."

10:50am Van in DC:

@glenn - oh that game finally ended? :) I watched a lot of it into the 15th I think it was, then had to leave.

10:50am Matt from Springfield:

Hi all!
In and out for a while here, but I'm enjoying this folk set a LOT!

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Good greetings, Carmichael. And hey to you, too, Northguineahills.

10:51am kat330:

Thanks for the link, Doug. I imagine both of our experiences heightened our auditory senses.

10:52am northguineahills:

That's pretty funny, Hugo, thanks!

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Matt from S!

10:52am Van in DC:

What @Matt from Springfield said! Enjoying a lot! Doug, you are actually just killing it today. Terrific show.

10:53am Brain in KU:

There is a lovely Bulgarian cheese called Serine. (Sey ree nay?) Either sheep or cow. Stored in brine tastier than Feta. Yum.

10:53am Matt from Springfield:

Last week or the week before I was listening to the stream after the (shortened) show, and there was a song with fascinating Scottish-like vocals and meter--I eventually found through a lyric search it was "Fair Flower of Northumberland". Child number NINE in fact, so it's old! Any clue who might have been singing that?

10:53am Matt from Springfield:

And hi there Doug, Van!

10:54am Dave Hersh:

He is ACTUALLY killing it... not like when he ONLY SEEMS TO KILL IT, BUT LET'S US DOWN... HAHA... ALWAYS kills it, agreed?

10:54am jm:

love harrow & the harvest...

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Matt from S
That was Dick Gaughan!

10:55am ::JT::

Third. I didn't think you could top the previous "old shit" set but this one is bringing back a lot of fond memories...

10:55am Van in DC:

Hi there Matt!

10:57am listener james from westwood:

ah, this piano riff always gives me chills.

10:58am joe:

What a beautiful sound that was. It could have been the harrowing subject matter and it still would make me feel good.

10:58am Brain in KU:

If Lord Buckley were alive to hear Doug he might have said 'When he laid it down, it stayed there'.

10:58am paul b:

Good Lord the British are a strange and dour lot (Foggy Dew), but hypnotized I listen. Oh Gillian Welch now, OK.

10:59am Matt from Springfield:

Thanks so much Doug!
I need to look for his stuff (I always like it better when Scottish/Northern folk is "barely" in English :)

10:59am Brain in KU:

paul b where do you think you got all your folk songs from?

11:02am joe:

Doug I love the fact that I can go from your show to Steinski what a great mix.

11:03am kat330:

@Doug: Your search for "Sugar" reminds me of a more recent search for something haunting I heard and didn't catch title or artist. Finally found it though -- Um Canto De Afoxé Para O Bloco Do Ilê (Ilê Ayê) -- heard at this link: http://www.eclectipundit.com/2008/03/ile-aye-caetano-veloso.html

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Joe
When I first realized I could broadcast on this stream, my first thought was to bring back Steinski's old show.

Hey there Paul B.

11:07am Matt from Springfield:

Man, "Blues In Orbit" is slick. Makes me want to star in a 60s movie, in a sequence where I'm sneaking around at night...

11:09am Brain in KU:

Matt do you fancy this
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17623609

11:09am glenn:

it is sort of pink panther - esque.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Brain
My dear friend Oliver Trager wrote the definitive (and most wonderful) biography/chronology of His Lordship.

11:09am Carmichael:

OK, done reading the comments. Kat, I'm rarely "on time" for the naked woman, whatever that means.

11:11am Matt from Springfield:

True, glenn.

11:11am kat330:

@Carm: Your "hello" popped up just before Jean Ritchie sang a lyric about coming to see "the naked woman." :)

11:11am Brain in KU:

Yes Doug, managed to get a copy from a shop in Redondo Beach! Oliver very kindly sent me the missing CD and then some. Lovely man.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

This number is going to experience some turbulence. Please return to your seats and fasten your safety belts.

11:12am Cheech:

@naked woman: Don't start without me!

11:12am joe:

Very little info about Eloise out there and all Tracy info seems to refer back to the Allmusic.com bio

11:13am kat330:

Castanet to strap us in.

11:13am Carmichael:

@kat: Oh ... That Jean's a bawdy one, eh? Must be why I enjoy her so.

11:13am Hugo:

On the 60s: With the advent of torrents, I've been busily retrieving English TV series from the decade: Danger Man, The Baron, Man in a Suitcase, Department S, and not forgetting, The Saint. Those were the days ...

11:14am Brain in KU:

I'm sure this is not the ritmo htey had in mind.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Oliver Trager penned a wonderful blog for a while about listening to baseball on the radio:

paintingthewordpicture.blogspot.com

11:14am Matt from Springfield:

@Brian: Sure, I think I've seen every Bond movie at least once. Some multiple times (they were once a staple of Ted Turner's cable networks in the US)

11:15am Hugo:

Also, not forgetting The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan.

11:15am joe:

@Matt I remember when they used to do Bond week or month (I forget which long time ago :) ) on ABC every year

11:15am marcury:

Hugo, the best of them all IMO was the Prisoner.

11:16am Brain in KU:

Got to do some gardening. BE SEEING YOU.

11:16am Van in DC:

Ho odd. Hans Dulfer..."Candy Clouds"...by ANY chance is Candy Dulfer related?

11:16am marcury:

And can't forget the Avengers, with my childhood crush Diana Rigg!

11:16am Carmichael:

@joe: Here's a bio for Eloise and Tracy Schwarz: http://www.emusic.com/listen/#/artist/the-new-lost-city-ramblers/11593380/

11:17am Carmichael:

@Van: Father and daughter. Met her once. She seemed very nice.

11:17am kat330:

@Brain: Righty-O! Your Long Good Friday potatoes! :)

11:18am Van in DC:

Yep, just found it on wiki...Hans is her father. She was born in '69, so I am assuming this song is about her

11:18am joe:

About 2 years ago I watch the entire series of The Prisoner in one marathon sitting. It took me a few days to completely snap back into reality :)

11:19am Van in DC:

This is just joy joy joy

11:19am joe:

@Carmichael: Work is blocking site. Any mention of what her and Tracy's relationship was? Wife? Sister?

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Van
Given that this Dulfer record was made in 1970, I think it's a good bet. Nice bit of detective work!

11:20am kat330:

@joe: JT and I are making our slow way through the whole series again. Just too much to fill the senses and so little time... And like Brain in KU, we have gardening coming up on today's schedule, too.

11:21am kat330:

@Doug: Yeah, mollusk this, and I'm riding it out without a seatbelt just fine.

11:21am joe:

@kat330 Yeah I would suggest maybe a bit of a break between every few episodes probably didn't help that I was taking in The Avengers on BBC America at the same time.

11:22am earwax:

@macury I also had a crush on Diana Rigg. I wanted to grow up and be a spy. That didn't work out.

11:23am Van in DC:

How oh how have I never heard that Candy Clouds before?! That was pure awesome!

11:23am kat330:

@joe: We have the Avengers box set, too. :) And Rockford Files and...yada, yada, yada...

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome to East Germany, friends!

11:23am marcury:

@earwax, I just wanted to grow up and spy on her, that didn't work out either

11:24am kat330:

Children of the world -- that would be us!

11:24am Van in DC:

Children of the World. I think.

11:24am kat330:

[um, would be we, s.b.]

11:25am Matt from Springfield:

Yep, Children of this World.
Panta Rhei of course being Greek, "all things are in flux".

11:25am Hugo:

Hans Dulfer was also on "Maine", from 1977, with Roswell Rudd.

11:25am kat330:

Pinky link, Van!

11:25am Brain in KU:

Could not get outside 'cause of the belting. Going now. Thoughts on Linda Thorson. Best figure worst acting in Avengers, two became, Bond grils.

11:25am listener james from westwood:

i should grab "the prisoner" on netflix. got the first season of "boardwalk empire" in but it's not grabbing me. i've only seen about a third of the "prisoner" eps.

11:25am Van in DC:

lol Kat330 :)

11:26am kat330:

And our wonderful host is "school child," nicht wahr, Doug?

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Right you are Hugo. You are a wise one, Sir.

11:27am Matt from Springfield:

Joe McG played East German last week from the "Eastern Bloc Funk Experience"--1974 makeout music by Uschi Bruning, just like US music of the same period!

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
Wahr you are.

11:28am Hugo:

@Doug: Just checked the back cover :-)

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Thoughts of necking in East Germany make me hot. Kinda like Dave Rawlings guitar playing. (Thank God Rawlings isn't East German. I'd explode.)

11:29am marcury:

Off to work, Bye All

11:29am Michael:

James - Boardwalk does pick up mid-season and the last 2-3 ep's are good. 2nd season gets my thumbs up as well.

11:29am Van in DC:

And "Doug" translates as "Awesome drummer DJ dude."

11:29am Carmichael:

@joe: Tracy and Eloise were husband and wife. They played in the New Lost City Ramblers with Mike Seeger, John Cohen, and Tom Paley, then went solo in the 70s. They got back together and released an album in '97 called There Ain't No Way Out.

11:31am listener james from westwood:

good to know, michael; thanks. looks like michael williams will get more screen time in the eps to come; never a bad thing.
doug: i dig a marx-quotin' woman in a snappy mao jacket.

11:32am Matt from Springfield:

Ha ha, Doug!

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

@Van
I read somewhere that a Douglas was a dark body of water (in Scotland). Or did I dream that?

@Carm
Did that E-Music bio definitively state that T and E were married? I didn't catch that. I'm still unsure. Of all the things to be tormented by.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Marcury
Cook like the wind, Marc.

11:35am Van in DC:

Friday (especially today!) is always a quandary: Leave for a while to grab lunch and miss part of GTDS or miss some of Steinski?

11:35am northguineahills:

sweeeeeet!

11:36am listener james from westwood:

that joe henderson track was mighty.

11:36am kat330:

Gotta scram for the garden, and then make some tea for the tillerman, JT! Thanks for this Long GREAT Friday set today, Doug! Will still be listening (or trying to over the tiller).

11:37am Van in DC:

Agreed!

11:37am listener james from westwood:

@van: i face the same prob on wednesdays; weekly conference call in the middle of the nazario scenario. i usually leave amanda on at low volume so all can share it.

11:37am listener james from westwood:

what better place to scram to than a garden? enjoy, kat!

11:38am Carmichael:

Doug, it said "After the NLCR's heydays, Tracy Schwarz went on the road with his wife and then his son ..." I'm assuming Eloise is the wife.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

If I remember correctly, Listener Annie used to tune in this show from her garden. I always loved that image.

11:42am trs:

Good news: Bully is no longer rated R in the U.S.
Can't load anything from now magazine, but I know from paper this is a good read: http://www.nowtoronto.com/movies/story.cfm?content=186056

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

PROGRAMMING ALERT...PROGRAMMING ALERT
When I switch over to hosting Steinski's A Rough Mix, the playlist for that show will be here:

bit.ly...

I'll see you "on the other side."

11:44am Van in DC:

Not sure how much of a "detective" I am lol. I'm more of an "assumer" ha ha. Okay, off for a bit to grab lunch real quick. GREAT show Doug! Tell Station Manager Ken to double your salary for today.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

@Van
Ken already tripled it, but oy the taxes.

11:51am joe:

@Doug what was it Dr. John said Something from Nothing.... ;)

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Joe
Egg xactly.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

We're sitting on 281 comments for this show. I've never had a 300-comment show before.

11:56am listener james from westwood:

a lovely show for a gorgeous day. work was far easier with the fine musical and commentariat companionship.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Of course, about three-fourths of them are from me (make that 283 comments). I do love to hear myself type.

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show as always Doug!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Excellent listening! As always.

11:59am northguineahills:

superb show as always!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

I don't care what the boss says, I ain't fading this beauty down Steinski wiil be a tad late (again).

12:00pm erella in toronto:

Good Friday to you, Doug!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey erella!

12:01pm trs:

I apologize if my grump has leached. I've been badly mistreated - over and over again.

12:01pm northguineahills:

Then you might just make 300 comments!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Steinski playlist: bit.ly...

12:04pm Van in DC:

Just made it back!

12:04pm Van in DC:

Thanks again Doug!

12:04pm Joe:

another great show. Thanks!

12:16pm A Phlebotomist Writes:

Some one has locked the door.

12:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Hit the light on your way out, Phlebotomist.

12:18pm A Phlebotomist Writes:

Bloody great show Mr Schulkind but could someone come and unlock the door.

12:20pm A Phlebotomist Writes:

Alright the window it is......

12:22pm A Phlebotomist Writes:

Forgot we were on the third floor. Might need a transfusion.............

12:25pm Doug Schulkind:

That last one pushed us over the 300-comment mark. Congrats everyone! (Much thanks to you, Phlebotomist!)

12:36pm Van in DC:

Oh, I'll be back for more on archive, for the last piece that I missed there, and possibly a few select replays as well of some tunage, so leave the door unlocked. Or the window. :)

12:40pm Doug Schulkind:

You should really have your own key, Van.

1:16pm Van in DC:

I do - my lockpick :)

1:34pm Sage:

Doug! what a fantastic show, been tuning in whenever I can. I'm sure there is a good reason why there is no podcast for this show, but if there was I would be your first subscriber since I live in a home without an internet connection. Foolish me.

2:14pm Van in DC:

MAN!! I am listening to that Candy Clouds again, and just being blown away all over again. LOVE IT! It is joyful genius brilliantly presented in such masterful aural form!

2:13pm Van in DC:

mmmmmmm....Candy Clouds Redux :)
