Listener comments!

8:30am ausmanx:

good evening doug and the discriminatin glisteners. sydney in the house

8:34am Doug Schulkind:

Pour yourself a stiff drink and have a soft cushion, ausmanx!

8:47am Uncle Michael:

I'm atoning. I'll do the reverse.

8:47am AndrewC.:

Stiff drink - I like that idea. Remind me to pick something up on the way home.

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

If it ain't stiff, AndrewC, it ain't worth a sip.

Uncle Michael, you are always atonal.

8:53am b z:

Late afternoon hello from Istanbul Doug.

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

Hello b z! Glad you aren't too bz to listen!

8:56am Gary:

I feel like I oughta know that guy

8:57am Doug Schulkind:

First person to guess who this fellow is (he will end today's opening set) wins a life-size (unisex) kewpie doll. (Shipping charges not included.)

8:58am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hi ndbob!

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Let's do this.

9:01am holland oats:

make me proud drumma

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Our opening track is one of two songs in this set from 1906. Not the oldest, though.

@holland oats!

9:03am davex:

Good day Doug and all...

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings davex!

🥁

9:05am listener james from westwood:

good friday all, and howdy, doug!
that man is making my hot-wings face.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

He is probably making his hot prosciutto face, LJFW.

9:08am ndbob:

This is pretty intense Doug - great stuff!

9:08am hyde:

oh man. I'm late.

9:09am Gary:

Nice opener!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

You are 107 years late, hyde!

9:10am davex:

Quite a find, Doug!

9:11am ausmanx:

i'm thinking the chap in the film in Mark E Smith's dad...

9:11am dc patricio:

hola.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

I love how the poor reproduction of the ancient recording creates a sound that becomes part of the piece here.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Gúten morgen, dici patriczo!

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
Like Mark E. Smith, our playlist idol was prone to flights of high melodrama.

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

This dude from Greenland sure sounds like Kurt Schwitters!

9:16am davex:

Funny, I was just humming this in the shower...

9:16am Stanley:

This is Mark E Smith? He doesn't sound very well. All that smoking I suppose.

9:17am Jk:

That song from Greenland sounds like Kurt schwitters

9:18am Jk:

...And other things Doug's already said...

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey jk! And Stanley, too.

9:19am still b/p:

After your hints, I know the dude. And I tell ya somethin' else: I want his necktie.

9:19am davex:

Playlist to the left - gag list to the right.

9:20am Jk:

Morning Doug! This set is top notch!

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

We're about to reveal who this fellow to the left is. Any last guesses?

9:20am KevinfromBayRidge:

GMornin Schulkinders. Is Mark E. Smith SR AKA Caruso?

9:20am Gary:

Dammit, is the pic Al Jolson?

9:21am Neil:

IS it Caruso?

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy still b/p and hidey-ho, KevinfromBayRidge!

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

OK, this fellow is now singing. Wonder who?

9:22am Gary:

It's Caruso!

9:23am Parq:

I caught only the tail end of that Jolie, but it sounded brilliant.

9:23am KevinfromBayRidge:

So... Can I save the shipping by picking said kewpie doll in PBurg?

9:24am davex:

This an excellent set, by the way.

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

What Jolie ain't, Parq?! And hello!

9:25am ausmanx:

well, at least Mark E THINKS he sings like his dad, and that's what counts

🥁

9:26am listener james from westwood:

npr had a bit on mario lanza last night. lanza was born the same year caruso died. naturally some folks believed him to be c's reincarnation.

9:26am Matt F:

Difficult to recognize Caruso without the clown costume.

9:31am northguineahills:

woke up at 1 w/ food poisoning, but all I ate was vegan yesterday.

🥁

9:32am listener james from westwood:

argh! sorry to hear that. hope you're on the mend!

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

@Matt F
Look at my playlist index page: wfmu.org...

9:33am ndbob:

wow sorry NGH!

9:33am Gary:

One likes the covers in the other languages, one does

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Happy healing, NGH. Have some bacon, maybe?

🥁

9:34am Artie:

TIL: Caruso can change his eye color at will. And Dead Jim did settle in Acapulco after all.

9:34am Matt F:

Yeah Doug, no difficulty recognizing him in that pic!

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya Artie!

@Gary
Anything sung in a "foreign" language is great. Even crappy shit.

9:36am Gary:

Alas, poor Yorks.

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Muy triste, apparently.

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Los Shakers: Uruguay
Los Yorks: Peru

9:38am Gary:

Where U B findin them?

9:38am dc patricio:

LOS YORKS! I thought this sounded familiar--haven't heard this particular tune..

9:39am dc patricio:

any Los Saicos?

9:39am Uncle Michael:

Hello everyone.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Four volumes of spanglish garage rockers: eltalentoderingo.blogspot.com...

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Love Los Saicos, dc patricio, but not up for today. Things are going to get psycho, however...

9:41am hyde:

@Doug. whoa. thnx!

9:41am Gary:

Hola, Título Miguel! Thanks, Senor Schulkind!

9:42am Gary:

Muy triste ... files esta no mas :(

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Oops! Sorry Gary. Try this: exystence.net...

9:43am northguineahills:

Thanks Drummers! Feeling 60% better. Mostly I now feel bad b/c of the lack of sleep after waking at 2:30 AM to the problems. It's weird b/c all I ate yesterday was quinoa salad, kale salad, and a lentil patty. Not foods I'd associate w/ a risk of getting food poisoning.

9:45am northguineahills:

429 Engaños! Que chido!

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Things are about to get pumpi.

9:48am Gary:

This set has made my whole week.

9:49am Alex In Illinois:

When I see a survey that says: "We'd love to hear your thoughts" I think of saying: "Okay, her ya go!" and playing them music that sounds a lot like that Corazones number by 429 Engaños that you just played.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Seven days without prayer makes one week, Gary.

9:49am still b/p:

Veg prepared out or off the shelf still subject to all kinds of contact, exposure and handling conditions, regardless of any other associated nutrition and ethic...and I try to remember this when I rinse the bejeesus out of leafy thangs at home.

9:49am northguineahills:

hilarious name!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Heya Alex in Ill!

9:50am Gary:

The video for the pumpi is frightening: www.youtube.com...

9:51am dc patricio:

you are so right stillbp. thanks for the reminder.

9:51am Alex In Illinois:

I HI Doug,
Oh, I don't mean to saying anything bad about the 429 Engaños music. I really did enjoy it. I am just saying that often my thoughts sound like that.

9:51am northguineahills:

Yeah, but most maladies associated w/ veggies are more serious then a 5 hour bout of unfunness. But you are 100% correct, still b/p.

9:52am hyde:

@ngh in the US, the Center for science in the Public Interest actually has listed leafy greens as #1 for riskiest foods regulated by the FDA. About a quarter of food related illness outbreaks came from greens the year they compiled stats for this.

9:52am dc patricio:

dang, should have also requested los Piranas during that set. Prob my most favorite group right now.

9:53am dc patricio:

yeah but is that because leafy greens are generally not cooked?

9:54am northguineahills:

There are almost no decent eateries in downtown Brooklyn, so, I tried a vegan cafe on Atlantic Ave (a good 10 minute power walk). Whoops. And I think dc patricio hit the nail on the head.

9:56am dc patricio:

been meaning to try Everlasting Life Cafe (vegan) here in dc, they have a truck now too.

9:56am Uncle Michael:

It would have really been something is PEOPLE had shown up for last night's Bucs/Cubs game. The stands were sparse. pfft.

9:58am hyde:

@dc patricio not cooking them is definitely part of the risk. Sometimes simple improper washing is the trouble too.

9:59am northguineahills:

I would love to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Chicago Cubs!

9:59am still b/p:

Hope you're at 100% for the weekend anyway, NGH.

The Pump vocal being chipmonkish...reminds me of irrelevant trivia bits I happily learned just this week: Ross Bagdasarian had a small nonspeaking role in Rear Window, and wrote Come On-a My House with his cousin, William Saroyan.
Here endeth the irrelevancy.

9:59am dc patricio:

I think we've all learned a lesson today.

I love for DCUnited to win one freakin match...

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

I got your drift perfectly, Alex. But those guys from 428 Engaños really do suck.

@Uncle Michael
Actually, the Pirates have sold out pretty every game for the last month or so. It was raining, hard, much of the day yesterday. So I'm guessing some people stayed home and dry.

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

And there were 23,000 at the park, so not so embarrassing, UM.

10:03am ausmanx:

speaking of chipmunks... Alvin Curran was at my house ten days ago when we had someone play his five-hour Inner Cities thing. one of my friends was sitting next to Mrs Curran and said "I don't know much about Alvin, just his early work with the Chipmunks". she stared at him in incredulous disgust....

10:03am northguineahills:

DC United has made FC Toronto look good this season.

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
Please extend to Mr. & Mrs. Curran deepest regrets from the rest of the human race.

🥁

10:54am duke:

Whew, finally made it. Am I the only one who had trouble connecting to WFMU this morning? That's what I get for being late.

10:57am Uncle Michael:

Ouch...that stings.

10:58am Uncle Michael:

Web servers were down for a bit.

11:01am Stanley:

This is the best version of 'My Favourite Things' I've heard in a long time.....hang on, the playlist might not be updating correctly. Anyway good track you're playing.

11:07am Uncle Michael:

Testing...

11:10am ndbob:

ah good to be back

11:12am holland oats:

ACKK!!!!!

11:18am northguineahills:

ok, the commenting tab is working (sort of) ok , not really, wait, there it is.

11:24am Carmichael:

Is anyone else having page loading problems? It's been a half hour of pounding my keyboard.

11:26am Stanley:

Am I listening to the stream now? I can't connect the playlist with what I'm hearing. Seems I got a load of New Orleans jazz style stuff going on.

11:27am ndbob:

@Carmichael it's a WFMU server issue

11:28am Uncle Michael:

Intermittent rass'n frass'n...

11:29am Uncle Michael:

Is we back?

11:31am northguineahills:

duh, Carmichael! Where have you been! ;)

yes, it's taken 7 minutes for this comment to go through.

11:33am Stanley:

I'm still not sure I'm hearing the real stuff. This doesn't sound like The Funky Afrosibi to me.

11:34am Uncle Michael:

Bear down.

11:34am Monica:

soundin' good in my neighborhood, dougeleh!

11:37am jill:

great set, Doug!

11:38am Carmichael:

Friday the feckin' 13th, that's what it is.

11:39am trish:

My account from here:

Comments and playlist conked out during Vinko Globokar. Not long after I tuned in, coincidentally.

Comments tripped back in again without a browser refresh and then conked out again. And back in again. Playlist required a manual refresh.

Stream hasn't wavered, though I did check out to reset things on my end. And a bird died.

11:39am ndbob:

@Stanley try stopping and restarting your player

11:40am Stanley:

@ndbob - think i worked it out. It was a whole bunch of Mardi Gras stuff, just that the plalist was way delayed.

🥁

11:41am listener james from westwood:

howdy, again, all! i had outages, too, but it was my funky (not in a good way) router. good to hear gtdr again!

11:41am Uncle Michael:

A lot of sites hosted on Amazon's AWS service are effected.

11:43am trish:

Doug -- I just downloaded that animated gif. that's been dragging. It's not really 17.5 MB is it??! That's a bigass-boatload for the playlist autorefresh.

🥁

11:47am Artie:

That is indeed a 17MB gif file. Though your browser should cache and reuse it after the initial download.

11:47am Uncle Michael:

Heh. Doug asked me if it worked OK this morning...he didn't tell me it was big. The one time I used a big one, I had to disable it during the show and put it back for the archive, were refreshing isn't an issue.

11:48am Uncle Michael:

True, Artie.

11:49am trish:

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure images don't cache the way wfmu has the autorefresh set up.

11:52am trish:

I was ensnared in dial-up speeds for a bunch of months last winter and wfmu gif-a'plenty playlist pages made things go slow-kablooey.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

I don't even know what 17.5 MB means.

11:54am trish:

Sure you do. It's the file size. 17.5 Megabyes. Or 16.7. Or whatever it is.

11:54am pacific standard simon:

Wow, everything's borken! I've been trying to get in for an hour and a half, but now all the windows are finally appearing at the same time.

🥁

11:54am Artie:

It's just a meta-refresh tag, backed up by a javascript window.reload() call on a timer. Nothing there that should interfere with the browser's cache behavior. Browsers and mileage may vary, but this should be pretty standard behavior.

11:54am Uncle Michael:

Hello, Kitty.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

The next room: wfmu.org...

Join me.

11:55am Jeff Golick:

I knew I shouldn'ta got in that nice man's Klobokar.
But he had candy!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

What would you do for a Klobokar?

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

I did some complete hack creation of this gif. Starting with an 8-second YouTube video, which I downloaded and converted through various ridiculous means that I probably couldn't re-create. Oh well.

11:57am pacific standard simon:

Mebbe the internet works in Topeka.

🥁

11:57am Artie:

Doug about to land the mega byes on us. I love this gif.

11:57am northguineahills:

Ugh, I'm just going into work to fill out my time sheet and bring my laptop home so I can work from home. I'm functional, but, I've felt better.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

feel better, NGH

11:59am pacific standard simon:

Hello Kitty loves you all!

🥁

11:59am listener james from westwood:

i can respect a person who bends heaven and earth to craft the perfect gif.
many thanks, doug, for the show, the gif, and everything!
ngh, smart move. hope the weekend brings lots of relief!

11:59am Alex In Illinois:

I wish I could tell my coworkers not to communicate with me using the telephone while I am listening to this show or any other on Give the Drummer Radio

11:59am northguineahills:

Thanks, UM!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Jaysus, that was rough. Thanks for hanging in there!!

2:43pm El Thatchmo:

He's a big man, not a small man.
