5:45pm Jeff Golick:

It's probably on account of all the crack.

5:45pm Jeff Golick:

5:52pm Doug Schulkind:

Your tax dollars at work, glenn.

5:55pm glenn:

yep.

5:56pm Holly in NC:

@Glenn - my fave part of VICE article, re Rob Fords's **COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR**:

"VICE exhaustively compared the emails allegedly from Massoudi with public notes and comments Massoudi left on his Facebook profile. Both were rife with grammatical errors, poor spelling, and had a similar tendency to overuse elipses."

Hi Doug & everyone! :-)

5:58pm hyde:

I call I get to say "why is a raven like a writing desk" at the tea party

5:59pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi EveryHolly and one!

5:59pm ndbob:

6:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Hola ndbob!

6:00pm glenn:

6:00pm Holly in NC:

Why IS a raven like a writing desk?

6:01pm pacific standard simon:

Doin' the frug with dug!

🥁

6:01pm listener james from westwood:

hey doug! got my ears on but will be working like a bahstard. release the bills! and the mayors!

6:02pm hyde:

@ Holly in NC: they never say!

6:03pm pacific standard simon:

@Holly - becaws! becaws!

6:04pm Holly in NC:

@pss - oh, good one!

6:04pm Gary:

Bills, Bills, Bills, Bills, Bills, Bills, Bills, Bills

6:04pm hyde:

this spade cooley song is terrifying

6:04pm Doug Schulkind:

Howdy pacific standard simon and hard working Listener James! And ahoy to you, hyde!

6:05pm Gary:

^Poe attempt at humor

🥁

6:06pm Artie:

Base, how low can you go?

6:06pm pacific standard simon:

Got it, Gary -- the question is, was your attempt directed at Doug, or Holly? Works for BOTH!

6:07pm Doug Schulkind:

You get an A for effort, or maybe affort, Gary.

Hello and welcome, Artie!

6:07pm Holly in NC:

Everything about Spade Cooley, except his music, is terrifying. What a horrid, horrid man.

Doug, if we don't hear some Schoolhouse Rock this evening I'm going to be rather disappointed.

6:08pm Gary:

Both, with bells on!

6:09pm pacific standard simon:

It's true, the less you know about Spade, the easier it is to enjoy his music.

6:09pm ndbob:

fpr sure Holly

6:11pm Doug Schulkind:

True dat, pacificSS.

6:11pm pacific standard simon:

Speaking of "terrifying", I've spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to get the new FMU android app on my Kindle. Google Play no like.

6:13pm Doug Schulkind:

That Schoolhouse Rock was sung by the wonderful Bob Dorough! But sadly, not this evening.

6:14pm Holly in NC:

Have to go feed & medicate some beasts, have muzzles coming at from all directions. Also, martini time. Back asap!

6:14pm pacific standard simon:

There's a couple of Velvet Underground possibilities for today.

6:15pm Doug Schulkind:

@pacific standard simon
Be sure to email WFMU's tech team for help: wfmu.org...

6:15pm pacific standard simon:

MARTINI!

6:17pm pacific standard simon:

Ah, thanks Doug. I tried Kenzo's email already -- will this go to a different party?

6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

It will go to a bunch of WFMU's top tech folks, including Kenzo.

6:19pm Jeff Golick:

Got any "Wedding Bell Blues" cued up?

6:20pm pacific standard simon:

en.wikipedia.org...

6:22pm Doug Schulkind:

Lyrics for this Helen Morgan tune by P.G. Wodehouse!

6:22pm Jeff Golick:

Gotta run -- will catch the later Bills in the archive -- i.e., Bill me later.
Thanks, Doug!

6:23pm Doug Schulkind:

Wedding Bill Blues, Jeff. That watcha mean?

6:23pm pacific standard simon:

Beastie Boys - Skills To Pay The Bills

6:23pm Gary:

Reading about Spade Cooley now on trutv's crime library. Weirdest part might actually be the comments, where there's a kind of mini-Cooley family reunion going on ...

6:24pm Jeff Golick:

@Doug: Well, sorta. That song name-checks a Bill throughout.

6:24pm Jeff Golick:

(But you probably knew that.)

6:24pm Doug Schulkind:

What do I know, Jeff. I'm just a deejay.

6:25pm Jeff Golick:

adfadkjkl;kj;akjf.!!!1!!

6:26pm ndbob:

@Doug - wow! - didn't know Wodehouse wrote lyrics

6:27pm Doug Schulkind:

Music by Jerome Kern, ndbob.

6:30pm pacific standard simon:

@Gary - That must be awkward -- wasn't his kid a witness to the murder?

6:30pm kat330:

Hi, Doug! [between news and dinner bites here] Hey, Indybob! Is this "Buffalo" song for you?!

6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

Here's another taste of those Wodehouse lyrics.

Hiya kat330 (and give my best to PhiloG)!

6:32pm kat330:

What's your best, Doug? Thigh? Breast? ;)

6:32pm simon shuffaloff:

UR BUFFALO SONGS R MINE!

6:33pm ndbob:

Heya Kat!

6:33pm northguineahills:

Came back in time for Doug!

6:33pm glenn:

twitter.com...

6:33pm ndbob:

@kat I'm going to claim it:)

6:35pm Doug Schulkind:

Holy Crikey! WFMU's fundraising goal for the silent drive just jumped from 91% to 93%. That's wicked cool!

Greetings to you northguineahills!

6:35pm kat330:

Toronto mayor and Virginia gov candidates -- what a countries!

6:37pm ndbob:

for sure kat

🥁

6:38pm listener james from westwood:

nice going, fmu! keeping those pledge boxes on the playlists post-end-of-fundraiser is paying off!

6:40pm Doug Schulkind:

Forget everything I wrote except that first comment about Wodehouse. It's the Morgan tune, not Brother Bill. I gotta smoke me some crack and clear my head.

6:40pm kat330:

@ndbob: So did you have your first Bloomington Halloween replete with trick or treaters?

🥁

6:40pm listener james from westwood:

was it brian who said he was at 99% today? hell, that's irresistible as a round-'em-up pledge!

6:41pm Holly in NC:

Back, martini in hand, bliss! Spanky's perfect for the vibe.

6:42pm ndbob:

@kat Actually not a single one .. Bloomington officially postponed Halloween a day because of all the rain... it's actually really quiet where I live - very few kids around

6:42pm kat330:

Holly!! It's been an age since I've been here when YOU've been here! How's it going?

6:43pm Matt from Springfield:

Oh man, missed Jim Stafford! This P.P. Arnold is great though.

Hey Doug and Drummers!
Hey Holly! Hey Katster! :)

6:43pm Doug Schulkind:

...$55 will get GTDS to a respectable 50%, speaking of rounding up...

6:43pm kat330:

Yeah, our Halloween was also a bust. We have SOOOOO much candy needing a goodie home. :,

6:44pm ndbob:

me too - though it's slowly being depleted - I'm being reasonably good

6:44pm kat330:

Hiya Mattster! You had a true Hobson's choice at the polls today, eh?

6:45pm pacific standard simon:

My boss said he gave away $500 in candy -- I saw the empty Kit Kat boxes.

6:46pm Holly in NC:

Hi Kat330! I am quite well, how are you? Maybe you should make a pinata & hold a party at some point in the near future (re candy).

*Tina*

6:46pm hyde:

I got absolute zero trick or treaters out here in my new digs in the wilds of new york

6:47pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello up there (almost missed you) Matt from Springfield!

6:47pm kat330:

Well, Philo WOULD make quicker work of it if I wasn't a prophylactic for him doing so. ;) We called a neighbor today and suggested he take a lion's share of our remainder.

6:47pm Matt from Springfield:

@kat: One of the worst general election lineups I can think of--choice between a candidate EVERYBODY HATES, and a candidate NOBODY LIKES! :)

But in the near certain defeat of Lt Gov candidate E.W. Jackson, I propose he replace the Toronto mayor--all the crazy, without the crack!

6:48pm Doug Schulkind:

Ray Charles on piano here, backing up Clydie King.

6:49pm kat330:

@Holly: Well, that sort of social event is never part of our Knob Knee existence unfortunately.

6:50pm pacific standard simon:

And MY-T fine lounge piano it is, too!

6:50pm Holly in NC:

Clydie is killing it

6:51pm kat330:

Oh, and we're doing fine! Currently surrounded by collectible dolls (my Mom's collection and my inheritance), which are cramping our style. Anyone know any doll collectors?

6:51pm Matt from Springfield:

Pretty fine session musician she's got thar!

6:51pm ndbob:

I'm starting to get not quite as lost here - though Bloomington's not all that big

6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

A woman named Clydie doing a song by a woman named Bobby.

6:52pm kat330:

Mulberry Bush to end!

6:53pm Matt from Springfield:

@kat: Couldn't you use your creepy ballbearing clown to scare everyone else away? ;)

6:53pm kat330:

Bob -- we're just waiting for some email to suggest you are ready to have a meet-up! :)

6:53pm Matt from Springfield:

Hey there Indi Bloomington Bob! Enjoying your new town?

6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

The polls close in 67 minutes here in Pennsylmania. Fingers crossed that the Bills don't makes us ills.

6:55pm Holly in NC:

This Poppy Family song is on one 1 of the very 1st lps I ever purchased (K-Tel Dynamite!), must've played it 10000000 times. Now I prefer their more overtly creepy songs. Highly underrated, I think.

6:55pm pacific standard simon:

Waiting for "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins".

6:55pm ndbob:

sounds great kat! - I'm getting acclimated pretty quickly.. indeed matt

6:56pm ndbob:

@Holly agreed .. Billy is actually my least favorite Poppy Family song

6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

You're not the only one (scroll up) pss!

You have great tuna, er, taste, Holly in NC!

6:57pm kat330:

@Matt: Ha! Just used a still pic of the clown for a Halloween post at SoundCloud (also involving a member of this doll collection ;)!

6:58pm kat330:

@Matt: But apparently you aren't visiting kat330 there of late? Got a lot of new tracks, played in the UK and locally. :)

6:59pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

6:59pm pacific standard simon:

AW! But it's an honor to be a follower of Jeff Golick...

🥁

6:59pm listener james from westwood:

doug, this was the sweetest billable hour i've ever passed. many thanks!

6:59pm kat330:

Thanks a BILLion, Doug! :) 'Night all!

6:59pm Matt from Springfield:

Ha, *wicked* awesome! Will check out your new song later tonight! Is it a "horror" theme, like your Friday the 13th mix?
(Haven't stopped by lately, but will sure check out soon!)

6:59pm pacific standard simon:

LOLkat330

7:00pm Matt from Springfield:

Embrace your BILLS!
Great assortment tonight Doug! Have a good evening everyone!
