Listener comments!

🥁

5:33pm Artie:

Ooohh, cucumbers and feta!

5:35pm Doug Schulkind:

Sorry about the narrow sneeze guard, Artie.

🥁

5:43pm Artie:

S'OK, Doug. I seem to be the first one thru the line. And if I may say so, those olives look pretty and plump.

5:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Just cough into your elbow, Artie, and we'll all be fine.

🥁

5:45pm Brian in UK:

Is that the time?
What the difference twixt Paisley Rock and Parsley Rock?

5:47pm Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Is the curly paisley or Italian paisley?

🥁

5:48pm Brian in UK:

Afro-paisley from Scotland.

🥁

5:51pm Brian in UK:

Cool piece of artwork Mr. S.

5:52pm Doug Schulkind:

On my latest marathon premium, I included the Ugandan singer Angela Kalule's version of Me and Bobby McGee from the soundtrack to Last King of Scotland. Does that count?

That's no artwork, silly. It's rolled into the GTDR faculty lounge every lunchtime!

🥁

5:55pm Brian in UK:

Do you mean that you take luncheon? How charming!

5:57pm Doug Schulkind:

If we lack nothing, it's charm. We have gobs of charm.

5:57pm Gary:

This was my favorite restaurant as a kid: s3-media3.ak.yelpcdn.com...

🥁

5:57pm Brian in UK:

Ofcourse Angela Kalule is double tops.

5:58pm Doug Schulkind:

My favorite restaurant as a kid = Howard Johnson's

For the fried clams.

6:00pm ndbob:

evening Doug and everyone!

🥁

6:00pm Brian in UK:

Cannot get enough clams over here.

6:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Greetings and welcome, ndbob!

🥁

6:01pm Brian in UK:

@ndbob is it seasonally warm right now?

6:01pm Carmichael:

Salad Bar! Also the name for my next band.

6:03pm ndbob:

indeed Doug - it's 78 here

🥁

6:03pm Brian in UK:

@Carmichael and I thought it was Dostoyevsky's Trousers.

6:03pm doca:

Greetings, Doug, Drummers and all.
Say, Doug, will you play Mel Thormé in the music that caught your ear on the last week? (kidding eheh)

🥁

6:04pm listener james from westwood:

Heya all! Caught the intro from the kitchen; cool concept!

6:04pm hyde:

HoJo's! we used to call those "fried rubber bands"

6:05pm Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
For years I used to say that my next bound would be called Spatula. Then a listener gently informed me there was already a band in North Carolina by that name.

Howdy doca!!! And Listener James from Westwood!!!

6:05pm holland oats:

well whaddya know, roland young! :)

6:06pm Doug Schulkind:

@doca
Now that I have announced my distaste for Mr. Tormé, I surely must spend the time find a song to play. Now I don't think I'll be as charitable to Weather Report, but never say never!

Hello hyde!

6:06pm Carmichael:

I used to cook at a HoJo's (among other places) for my college $$. Can't say I miss it, cuz I don't.

6:07pm ndbob:

ever hear Mel's version of "The Power of Love"? - cover of a Shindogs song

6:09pm Doug Schulkind:

No, ndbob. No ever.

6:09pm Carmichael:

Doug, you don't like I'm Comin' Home Baby? Nice and hep-catty ...

6:11pm ndbob:

and with The Cookies backing Mel

6:11pm Doug Schulkind:

@Carm
I am genetically predisposed to find Mel Tormé unpleasurable. Kind of like cilantro.

🥁

6:13pm listener james from westwood:

At least he doesn't affect you as asparagus affects some folks.

Or does he?

6:14pm Gary:

Jessie Mae! Yae!

6:14pm ndbob:

I'm genetically disposed to love asparagus and hate broccoli

6:15pm Doug Schulkind:

I have never smelled my pee after overhearing Mel Tormé. Not and remained conscious, that is.

Hey Gary!

🥁

6:17pm Brian in UK:

Great set, time to fall into the arms of Morpheus.

6:17pm Carmichael:

Torme did a short a cappella version of Spinal Tap's *Big Bottoms* on their live DVD.

6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

Give ol' Morph an earlobe nibble for me, Brian!

6:20pm Gary:

Find of the year!

6:20pm ndbob:

this is great!

6:20pm Carmichael:

So James Brown influenced Moroccan soul?

6:21pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks to Adam Lore of 50 Miles of Elbow Room for the sending along the link to download this burner!

6:21pm Doug Schulkind:

Precisely, Carmichael.

🥁

6:23pm listener james from westwood:

Rix! Good ol' Rix! Hope he's out and about soon.

6:23pm northguineahills:

Couldn't resist playing something from Isophonic Boogie Woogie, could you!

6:27pm Doug Schulkind:

No, northguineahills, I really couldn't. Out of guilt as much as pleasure. But mostly pleasure.

6:28pm hyde:

have i missed anything lately about the ballyhooed new show on Drummer Radio, or are we still in supersecret teaser mode on that angle?

6:28pm Gary:

Dang, that Fadaul record went for nearly $400: www.ebay.com...

6:29pm Doug Schulkind:

Yeesh! And we got it for $0,000!

This next track is in deliciously crappy condish...

6:30pm Gary:

Song still available via divshare, too: www.divshare.com...

6:30pm hyde:

@Gary how much is that in dirham?

6:31pm Gary:

B-side: www.divshare.com...

6:31pm Gary:

Hyde, it's 0,000,000.00 dirham

6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

You are a goodman, Gary!

6:32pm ndbob:

Thanks Gary!

6:32pm Carmichael:

@hyde: Yeah, I was about to mention that GTDR has a gaping hole in it's early Thursday schedule.

6:34pm Doug Schulkind:

Still working on it, hyde. Our newbie is still gathering equipment for the home studio.

6:34pm hyde:

@Carmichael there have been allusions, of a cagey nature (what a showman)

6:34pm Doug Schulkind:

The next track, heard on Tony Coulter's show has the most Tony Coulter show of band names.

6:35pm davex:

Hi Doug, Gary, everyone...

6:35pm hyde:

@Doug thanks. I will try to remain patient. I'll....try.

6:37pm Gary:

Hi Dave!

6:37pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey there davex! Thanks for staying up late!

6:38pm ndbob:

Hi Dave!

6:38pm Carmichael:

IndyBob!

6:39pm hyde:

what is that vibe-y sounding thing in this (great) Lemon Fog record? Is that mellotron or something? sounds wild.

6:39pm davex:

Hi ndbob and Carmichael! Yep, up late as usual on a Tuesday...

6:40pm ndbob:

Heya Carmichael!

6:40pm Doug Schulkind:

Ask Tony Coulter. I bet he knows what the lads ate for breakfast before the recording session.

6:40pm davex:

Well technically it's Wednesday here now.

6:41pm Doug Schulkind:

Call it Thursday, davex. We're a pretty easygoing bunch.

6:41pm hyde:

I hate that I always miss Tony Coulter.

🥁

6:43pm listener james from westwood:

Tony's archives are like chili. They're even better after they've been sitting in the fridge a bit.

6:44pm Uncle Michael:

Hello!

6:44pm Carmichael:

Tony's right in my wheelhouse, time-wise. That's why I notice the missing Thursday DJ, as I don't care for the FMU programming at said time.

6:44pm ndbob:

Hello UM!

🥁

6:44pm listener james from westwood:

Ask not for whom the Soul Survivors' horns were honking, UM; they were honking for thee.

6:45pm Uncle Michael:

I was on the expressway to my house.

6:47pm Gary:

Uncle Michael, that expressway song I think I first heard on the Oldies But Goodies series of records I was collecting as a kid. I loved it so much (that song in particular) ... was I the only sucker who bought a bunch of records in that series?

6:47pm Doug Schulkind:

Glad the 405 Aorta wasn't clogged, Uncle Michael!

How about this sizzling music from Shankar Jaikishan!!

6:48pm Carmichael:

Strangely, I'm getting some Martin Denny vibes here.

6:49pm Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
Sorry to say, but the new GTDR show will not be on Thurdsay. At least I don't think so.

6:49pm davex:

Can't get enough of this. Will have to look for the film.

6:49pm Carmichael:

Gary, you were not. I have a Sierra Nevada 12-pack box full of those 45s.

6:50pm Carmichael:

I'm planting the seed, Doug. You are now under my control, just like the beginning to Outer Limits.

6:51pm davex:

And finally caught up with your China show, Gary, another good one...

6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Jesse Kaminsky is next on the stream with Kaminsky Kamoutsly at 7pm (eastern). Playlist page here: wfmu.org...

6:52pm Doug Schulkind:

Keeping wishing it into the cornfield, Carmichael!

6:53pm northguineahills:

Thanks Doug! Always nice to have a sonic appetizer!

🥁

6:53pm listener james from westwood:

Mmmm ... Sierra Nevada 12-pack.

6:55pm Gary:

Thanks, Dave!

6:55pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

6:56pm Carmichael:

Mary Travers' voice is even lower! She sounds like Cher, or maybe Mel Torme.

6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Chew thoroughly before swallowing, northguineahills.

Thanks ya, ndbob!

6:56pm Gary:

Ha ha, this is brilliant

6:56pm hyde:

I want a whole hour of records at the wrong speed!

6:57pm davex:

That hour would take about 81 minutes, though.

6:58pm hyde:

they don't all have to be too slow!

6:59pm Carmichael:

My 1st player had a 16 speed setting, as well as the other three. Always thought it strange.

7:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Gack, Carmichael! Maybe I'll spin some Tormé at 78. Hahaha!

7:01pm davex:

I remember the 16 setting, too. Never found that kind of record, though.

7:01pm Gary:

@Hyde: When I was (briefly) studying music, I went into the listening lab and asked to hear Beethoven's Pastoral. I sat with the headphones and listened. Side one was over rather quickly, I thought. When I took the headphones off, the person in the listening lab, grinning at others in the room, asked how I liked it. I said something like, "yeah, really great." Then the lab person told me I'd just listened to it at 45 instead of 33. I never lived it down

🥁

7:01pm listener james from westwood:

Loved the revue! Thanks for playing some of the faves!

7:01pm Gary:

Thanks for the wonderful music, Doug!

7:01pm hyde:

I had an old turntable with all 4 speeds too. i also had a klh from a kit that you could spin backwards and also played normally at about 8 rpm. (you had to kickstart it to go 33 1/3).

thanks Doug!

7:02pm hyde:

heh the old play the beethoven at the wrong speed gag. love it.

7:03pm davex:

Thanks, Doug!

7:03pm Doug Schulkind:
