Here for the expensive shit.

Very suitable for airplay!

smokin' moves!

Literally.

Fela's pelvis only fits on a wide-angel lens.

Who's that smooth-lookin fela?

Hey-Oooo, Artie!
Avatar 6:00pm hyde:

well, alright. this should make for good "music to bake bread by" music
Avatar 6:02pm Carmichael:

To "make" bread by.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:04pm Jeff Golick:

To bake by. Music!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:04pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello and greetings hyde and Carmichael!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:08pm listener james from westwood:

baking bread is music to my ears! and nose!
Avatar 6:08pm northguineahills:

Ok, I put in the comments of my pledge that I wanted to share the wealth amongst many djs. Fingers crossed, the March marathon I'll be able to do more.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

@NGH
I can confirm that your note is attached to your pledge. And speaking of which: T H A N K S ! !
Avatar 6:12pm northguineahills:

(hmmm, $1.25/every active WFMU dj, would that work?) (fuzzy random math there)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:13pm Jeff Golick:

No one is koola.
Avatar 6:14pm northguineahills:

(didn't figure Ichiban, b/c it seems that stream is random half the time I tune in).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:15pm Doug Schulkind:

@NGH
The fuzzier the betterer.

Your pledge dollars all go into the same steaming cauldron. Each different stream (main WFMU, GTDR, Ichiban, etc.) is but a separate wisp of smoke, cirlicuing to the sky.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Into your great ears in the sky, I mean.
Avatar 6:20pm hyde:

i thought smoke got in your eyes
Avatar 6:20pm Carmichael:

I like Fela Kuti and all, but sometimes I wonder if he cares what key he's playing in.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:20pm Doug Schulkind:

We charge extra for that, hyde.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:23pm Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
I think we need to adjust what we think of as standard "keys." Fela was actually an incredibly strict taskmaster of his band. He would punish bandmembers if they played out of tune or rhythm.
Avatar 6:25pm Carmichael:

I was thinking that as I posted the comment, Doug. "Key" is a necessarily relative term, I now realize. Like the playing of Miles Davis or Thelonius Monk.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:30pm Doug Schulkind:

I played this track, Lai Se, earlier in the show. Aren't I dandy?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:35pm listener james from westwood:

not unlike james brown with his meting out of bandmember fines, sounds like.
this fela show is accelerating me toward the end of this densely typeset 326-page psych encyclopedia i'm proofing!
Avatar 6:38pm Carmichael:

enpsychlopedia. Cool.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:40pm listener james from westwood:

i just found a reference to an article in a journal issue i production-edited in 1997. get me my geritol.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:45pm Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Floating around on the interwebs is an acknowlegment page for an encyclopedia of Broadway I edited that was published in 1985-6. Save me some Geritol.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:46pm Artie:

If a fisherman stopped rowing, (as unlikely as it seems)I wonder what harbor his little boat would end up in?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:49pm listener james from westwood:

plenty of geritol for us all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49pm Doug Schulkind:

"The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jiveass Slippers" — Charles Mingus
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:50pm Artie:

I've always loved Mingus, so very much.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

What Artie said.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm Doug Schulkind:

I love the quote from "Salt Peanuts" opening this track! Earlier, a trumpeter quoted "The Saint Go Marching In." Wonderful!
Avatar 6:58pm hyde:

thanks Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm Doug Schulkind:

My pleaj, hyde!
