WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 12/07/12

Listener comments!

8:03am Uncle Michael:

I like getting places early.

8:17am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael gets the worm!

8:22am Uncle Michael:

scrambled eggs with diced hebrew national salami, rye toast and ice cold skim milk...no worms today

8:23am Uncle Michael:

a meal that will live in infamy

8:30am Doug Schulkind:

I'll be right over...

8:32am Uncle Michael:

I'll leave instructions at the gate.

8:41am chris in durban:

Ahoy Doug - alas, I cannot dwell much on your wonderful spaceship today, but had to check in and say thanks for the WFMU t-shirt received today (which I am now wearing) .. and also a heads up to check EJ on Monday for the full 90 minutes of the Kippie Moeketsi recording. Cheers

8:46am Bob in Cville:

Listening to the stream before the show starts always reminds me of hearing music over the PA before a concert starts. The anticipation mounts; soon the lights will come down and the crowd will roar...

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Chris in Durban
Kippie Kippie Joy Joy!

@Bob in Cville
Cameras are allowed during the show, just no flash please...

8:54am uncle michael:

I played this on the Thursday before the election

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

Vote Mudd!

8:55am listener james from westwood:

lousy news on the rapidshare download-throttling front.

8:56am Doug Schulkind:

Rapidshare was the one file-hoster I actually paid to have a premium account. Good thing my obligation ended just prior to this latest nonsense. Never doing that again.

8:57am chris in durban:

not sure if the rapidshare quota applies if you are a paying account holder Doug? Received no such notice from them ... but either way, I am sure you will always manage to be upfront in the queue. Cheers

8:58am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Chris in D
Rapidshare is limiting the number of GB that can be downloaded per day. Having a premium account as a downloader makes no difference.

Howdy ndbob!

9:00am holland oats:

mornin' drumma & then some

9:02am chris in durban:

just checked on rapidshare site doug - rapidpro account holders have a limit of 30GB of public downloads per day ... free acount holders have a daily limit of 1GB of public downloads

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Holland and Oats, perfect together.

@Chris
Even with my premium account I was getting over-quota messages.

9:07am Paul Sherratt:

Good day all,

Sales Tax ( VAT ) return day today. You'll know when ( and if ) I get done.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Brother Paul S! A bubbling VAT of aural goodies awaits.

9:10am chris in durban:

I get it Doug - effectively, this means a daily limit of 10 x 100mb files for free accounts, and 300 x 100mb dl's for account holders ... mmm - sucks

9:10am uncle michael:

Hebrew National

9:12am ndbob:

a great LP here

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Uncle Michael. Bat'ya WAS a Hebrew National!

9:13am Hugo:

@chris: That's exactly right.

9:16am Hugo:

which means that I have about 80 per cent left of daily downloads (at three in the afternoon)

9:17am holland oats:

loving this ethereal drift, moon gas anyone?

9:18am Uncle Michael:

Participating in the drum circle with a smart phone on the stationary bike is a pain in the ass.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@UM
You need a stationary phone and a smart bike.

9:20am Hugo:

Thinking of Yma Sumac ...

9:20am Uncle Michael:

You guys are having much better luck with Rapidshare than I do. I couldn't find enough valid links to break the quota on a bet anymore.

9:21am Uncle Michael:

I need less stationary ass.

9:22am Aurélie:

I've got the perfect mood for a "Congo Lament" super nice
Hi everyone from New-Caledonia

9:24am Uncle Michael:

Rapidshare is the only file sharing service I've ever paid, as well. Time to put a stop to that.34

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Aurélie!

9:25am ndbob:

Love these wordless vocals - and a good way to start the morning

9:25am Uncle Michael:

New Caledonia, New Caledonia, what makes your new big head so hard?

9:26am listener james from westwood:

interesting how almost all of those cuts were in a 2-year span. the high age of exotica?

9:33am Uncle Michael:

I think Dick Hyman's name doomed the genre.

9:34am Aurélie:

@Doug you're right "exotica" is such a weird word, almost a damned word for Pacific Islanders

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

It's like the absurd term "far-flung," Aurélie. Who gets to say who is far from whom?

9:38am Aurélie:

@Doug oww that's right :)

9:39am Uncle Michael:

The far-flung islets of Langerhans?

9:40am ndbob:

lol Michael

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Near or far, as long as your flung, you're OK.

9:41am Aurélie:

loooool Just had to google it to get that

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks again to Monica (wfmu.org...) for sending me this one!

9:44am Dominick:

Old Man Liver!

9:45am Uncle Michael:

astonishing....like December 7th all over again

9:46am tr`sh:

And what a great show Monica had last Sunday.

G'morning.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning tr`sh!

I swear this set was created with absolutely NO thought of today's date. That's kinda creepy.

9:49am Aurélie:

@doug Old Man River + SF chinatown saved my night Finally

9:50am Uncle Michael:

Your brain may no longer be the boss.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

My brain gave up control long ago (and far away).

@Aurélie
Glad!

9:53am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug alas, 'tis but a brief stop on a yearning sunny day.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of far-flung exotica. Can anyone identify the image gracing today's playlist page?

9:56am Brian in UK:

It's the mediacentre at Lords. OK no ones perfect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord's_Media_Centre

9:56am Aurélie:

une création de l'architecte brésilien who died today ?

10:01am Uncle Michael:

got a really good japanese oldies blog to recommend, Doug?

10:01am Brian in UK:

Scroll down
http://tastygumbo.com/2012/11/20/101-year-old-brazilian-icon-oscar-niemeyer/

10:04am Uncle Michael:

I'm working on a theme show playlist for 12/12/2012. Any guesses?

10:06am tr`sh:

Eggs?

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

I'm trying to find the site where I lifted most of the Japanese tracks I just played. Will share it when I find it.

10:08am Jeff G:

Sing me a song, Drummerman. Playing hooky today.

10:08am Uncle Michael:

They're in...everyone's eggs.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

R.I.P. Oscar Niemeyer bit.ly...

10:12am Aurélie:

@Brian Thanks! I wasn't sure it was Niemeyer
@Uncle Michael: The unique cinema in Noumea is making a big campaign about the release of "Bilbo the hobbit" the 12/12/2012, sometimes it's a curse to live near NZ

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Hallo Jeff G! What delicacies do you have simmering for Monday's D:O RADIO?

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some earwax dislodging. No extra charge.

10:15am Jeff G:

Funny you should ask, Doug. That's on today'a agenda. You familiar with Son of Bitches Brew?

10:15am Uncle Michael:

I think I need a Slim Whitman/Frank Ifield/Gerry Monroe/Jay & the Americans set on my show soon. Not yodeling but pyrotechnic falsettos.

10:17am seang:

Howdy folks! Nice tunes this morning

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Sons of Bitches brew. Sounds like a new boutique beer.

10:17am Jeff G:

Got a mini-cache of Vinny Golia lined up, too. New Brotz Tentet. A couple from a lovely CD we were just sent by a Canadian musician, called Duets for Abdelrazik. Open to requests!

10:17am Michael:

Hi Doug, listerners. Lovin' the show this morn.

10:18am Jeff G:

Sorry: Son of A Bitches Brew. I wish they went with Sons of Bitches instead.

10:19am duke:

@Jeff are you going to throw in any Brubeck?

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

You'll hear one Brubeck performance coming up. And some Slim Whitman, though not consecutively.

10:21am Uncle Michael:

Here's a whistling themed show I did...mainly familiar pop songs/artists. http://ebs-radio.com/2012/02/08/ebs79/

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings seang. And Michael (who I assume is not related to Uncle Michael).

10:21am Jeff G:

@duke: Good question. Probably so, though we're not sitting on a huge pile of DB stuff.

10:21am duke:

bridge over the river kwai theme up next?

10:22am Uncle Michael:

That would be Colonel Bogey's Theme.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Guess we're on the same, er, wavelength, UM.

10:24am Uncle Michael:

I always say there's no such thing as a bad theme when you have to find one every week. I did kazoos one week.

10:25am Uncle Michael:

Did an all talk-box show once.

10:25am duke:

when i was a kid, there was a local guy who did a whistling ventriloquist act. He didn't move his lips, but you don't exactly any when whistling

10:26am Dominick:

(head explodes)

10:27am Uncle Michael:

Women are from Venus, Dominick is from Mars.

10:28am Jeff G:

Ok, gotta run -- this Park Slope Food Coop shift isn't going to make itself up. Nice as that would be. Catch ya in the archives -- or on Monday!

10:28am Dominick:

Ack!

10:29am Paul Sherratt:

Slim Whitman was playing the local theatre in Crewe, Cheshire in his eightieth year, I think. He survived the experience.

10:29am Jeff G:

BTW, this Henderson/Alice track --- as under-mic music? DO NOT AGREE.

10:30am listener james from westwood:

i saw jim brown at cleveland hopkins airport once. not sure if he had just punched out 7,000 martians out on the tarmac before that, but i wouldn't put it past him.

10:31am ndbob:

@Doug sometime you should play "bird imitator" records from the 1920s

10:31am listener james from westwood:

see ya (hear ya!) soon, jeff! hey, that's 2 gtdr personalities who work at food co-ops. who will be next?

10:32am Uncle Michael:

Yes, Doug...bring back vaudeville!

10:38am Aurélie:

@Doug I love Ray Anderson, I love your pronunciation, I love this Radioshow

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
I always feel guilty about relegating certain tracks as "music bed" songs. That's why I periodically do shows where I play nothing but my music beds tracks and no talking over.

@Aurélie
For once I didn't choose the most insane Ray Anderson song on the record! (Do I get bonus points?)

10:50am Uncle Michael:

I want to hear the insane one.

10:52am still b/p:

I'druther've been listening, but hadda go get all Trader Joed and Whole Fooled. Now, need to be all Drummered.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

You get way more anti-oxidents here than anything Trader Joe's and Whole Foods serves up. Welcome still b/p!

10:57am Uncle Michael:

The Fishin' Hole is still my favorite Henry Kaiser track.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

The track I *almost* played from the Ray Anderson record: "Fishin' With Gramps"

10:59am Brian in UK:

@ Uncle Michael my favourite yodelling pop song is The Vogues 'Five O'Clock World'

11:01am Uncle Michael:

Thanks a lot Brian...ear now *wormed*.

11:03am Uncle Michael:

Man...Ribot is just a monster.

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
You saw Jim Brown at Hopkins Airport? That's like seeing the Pope at the Vatican (or at least at the Vatican's airport).

11:03am Hugo:

Nothing beats DeZurick sisters imho.

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
Yes, you are correct.

11:12am listener james from westwood:

@doug: i did indeed. i'm not a hugely football-aware guy, but brown i recognized. was quite a thrill. the coworker i was visiting cleveland to see was most envious.

11:14am dcp@:

New name I picked up for American football yesterday: throwball.

11:14am listener james from westwood:

true story: my mom crisscrossed manhattan to find a record store that carried tak shindo records after hearing his music on the radio back in the day.

11:15am Carmichael:

Good day of infamy to Doug and the Sums.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

@dcp@
They should call it RG3ball.

@LJFW
I am so completely gobsmacked by the two Tak Shindo records I have.

@Carmichael
Good DOI to you, too. Tak Shindo was held with his family at a Japanese internment camp in the '40s. So happy DOI to him, too.

11:20am listener james from westwood:

i don't think she actually ever found any. she asked me to look at the boston tower records when i mentioned there was one up there during my college years; no dice. she does, however, have an impressive collection of martin denny and les baxter vinyl.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Would she like digital copies? (For Xmas maybe, hint hint.)

11:24am Carmichael:

James, your mom is totally cool.

11:24am Brian in UK:

infamy, infamy they've all got it in for me. (Carry on Cleo?)

11:26am dcp@:

wow, great tune: Black Cat

11:26am Uncle Michael:

This Scotty McKay is neato.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Scotty McKay info: bit.ly...

11:29am listener james from westwood:

thanks, carmichael! she's also got a range of original-case broadway albums that could make a tadpole tap-dance.
doug, i do believe she would. you'd be a bona fide saint if you were to point the way to such a thing. thanks!

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
I have to go only so far as my hard drive. Keep an eye on your email.

11:31am lewis:

ok now I am hooked, but I really have to go!

cheers everyone!

11:33am Brian in UK:

Cults sound like a soundtrack to a Czech cartoon.

Doug, what would happen to the albums?????

11:34am listener james from westwood:

this bed music is the very definition of "scintillating."

11:34am kat330:

Hi, Doug, and *all* here or listening! Feel guilty not having heard enough of the program live today to be on the comments fairly, but I wanted to wish a Happy Hanukkah to any and all for whom that has meaning! :)

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

@katt330
So glad you're on board. Now we can kick this thing into gear!

See-ya, Lewis!

11:37am ndbob:

Hi kat!

11:37am tr`sh:

Hm! Helluva percussive mix this Scottish thing.

11:37am kat330:

Unfortunately my gear is still stuck in chore-world -- vacuuming (which can't compete with the Squeezebox) et al -- but maybe I'll get in another comment before noon.

11:41am Uncle Michael:

Happy Hannukah, Kat!

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
My old WFMU colleague Uncle Matty O (Matt Ostrowski) once played vacuum cleaner in a band back our college days.

11:47am kat330:

Thanks, UM! :) OK, the loudness is over. Rereading my rushed mess up there, I should amend that it's the Squeezebox that can't compete with the Dyson. And I should have said any special religious meaning, since I imagine Hanukkah has meaning to most everyone.

11:48am kat330:

Hi, Bob! Geez, gotta scroll backwards to see what else I'm missing.

11:49am monica:

lovin' this set, doug!

11:49am listener james from westwood:

hell, my vacuum can't compete w/ the dyson either!

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Mo! Thanks again for that Shizuko Kasagi!

11:50am Hugo:

Beautiful Harriott-D'Silva. Still not rereleased.

11:51am kat330:

What I'm hearing now is very nice indeed.

11:52am Uncle Michael:

My Dyson was no match for my Squeezebox this morning. This is a great show today, Doug. I'm working my way towards the door...if you remeber the Japanese blog, remember me!

11:52am Carmichael:

Was that rhythm or lead vacuum, Doug?

11:53am Hugo:

I'd recommend Prasanna. Plays carnatic ragas on electric guitar. True!

11:53am ndbob:

I remember seeing this record in a store when it came out and being rather suprised

11:54am kat330:

@James: I saved my pennies for years to get this Dyson, and even then put it on a 0% interest payment plan. It's sweet though!

11:54am Hugo:

He's also done his take on Hendrix. Called Electric Ganesha Land. Of course.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
Amancio D'Silva's son told me that "Hum Dono" was slated for a CD reissue. That was maybe seven years ago.

11:57am listener james from westwood:

there's a good reason bed bath & beyond doesn't let you use their coupons on the dysons. i fantasize about dysons every time i haul my battered reagan-era hand-me-down vacuum around the joint.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
Oh, lead vac definitely. That band's big hit was "Sigmund Freud Was Right, I Want to Fuck My Mother."

11:57am kat330:

Gotta love having "the proper amount of suction"!

This raga set is so appropriate for a customer service phone call I had to make earlier, routed to India, bocoors.

11:58am duke:

wonderful show!

11:59am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Bye drumheads...see you later! Thanks Doug.

11:59am kat330:

I'll try to catch the archive -- such a busy, busy time, December is.

Have a great weekend, everyone, full of light!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks Duke! We're going over about 5 minutes. Pull that barrel lid on tight and let's plunge!

12:02pm dcp@:

This Rasikapriya is up there with Black Cat, great stuff.

12:04pm Aurélie:

That was Super awesome, thanks Doug, bye everyone

12:05pm listener james from westwood:

loved the show, doug! have a fine weekend, all!

12:09pm Doug Schulkind:

Peace and love everyone! Especially those of you whose names I mispronounced!

8:16am Van in DC:

Playing more catch up. But having a new-to-me GTDS show midweek is never a bad thing! Yay!
