Listener comments!

8:47am glenn:

mmmmm. splink.

♥ 8:48am Doug Schulkind:

We have vegetarian splink, too, glenn, in case you prefer.

8:50am glenn:

soylent splink.

♥ 8:51am Doug Schulkind:

Miss the show and you'll be green with envy.

8:52am bobdc:

Soylent splink is purple!

8:52am bobdc:

I may have misremembered a classic movie line.

8:53am duke:

I had soylent blue for breakfast

♥ 8:54am Doug Schulkind:

All is forgiven, bobdc! WFMU playlist comments boards are were classic movie lines go to die.

duke!

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

♥ 9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Hello ndbob!

9:02am duke:

good morning doug and thrill seekers

9:03am Gary:

Woke at 4:30 am to discover a mouse in our very small apt :-(

♥ 9:03am Thrill:

You came to the right place.

♥ 9:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Just give the mouse a teensy set of headphones and away we go!

9:04am glenn:

oh oh. a moose in the hoose.

♥ 9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Stimmhorn dudes, I love you!

9:09am ndbob:

My friend had a mouse in her house - he would only eat the dog's food - he would sit in the living room and watch TV with them

♥ 9:11am Doug Schulkind:

While Gary's mouse was pace the floorboards at 4:30 this morning, I was still working on this radio show. Went to bed at 4:38 in fact. No worries, I do my best work when exhausted.

♥ 9:12am Stanley:

Hi - just in time for the yodeling to start.

♥ 9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Ol' Stanley whoooo!

9:13am northguineahills:

Whaaa?, Doug playing music I've never heard of.... what planet am I on?!!!

♥ 9:14am Doug Schulkind:

These Stimmhorn dudes play those looooon alphorns: upload.wikimedia.org...

9:14am ausmanx:

oh the eurofest, umlauts ahoy! good evening all

♥ 9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Velkömmen, northguineahills and ausmanx!!

9:16am jeff "soylent" g.:

Oh Doug! You coulda called me at around 2:30am. I was on the couch watching old Colbert Reports and eating ice cream. Y'know: working.

And re pets: our a-hole cat peed all over my daughter's bed last night.

9:17am Gary:

@Doug sleep dep ... Is that why you're snaaring?

9:17am ausmanx:

i think i'll be aüsmaanx this evening. surely you can buy a heap of snaars at ikea?

♥ 9:19am Doug Schulkind:

At about 2:30 this morning, one of our "scaredy" cats ventured out of our bedroom and down stairs where it promptly woke up the dog who pursued the cat, hissing and cussing, back up the stairs and into the bathroom where it was cornered against the tub. Later, I was pulling claws out of the dog's fur and calming her down. Oy.

9:20am ndbob:

Woah Doug

♥ 9:23am Doug Schulkind:

We have three cats. One is totally chill and kind of works around the dog to get what she wants. The other two cats have chosen to remain closeted in bedrooms away from the dog and only creep out when the dog is outside or asleep. It's a cross between Animal Farm and Marlin Perkins's Wild Kingdom over here.

9:24am glenn:

so... four legs good, four legs bad?

♥ 9:25am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

♥ 9:25am Doug Schulkind:

The paws that refreshes.

♥ 9:26am Doug Schulkind:

Top o' the morning, Andrew Waterloo!

♥ 9:29am Andrew Waterloo:

this sounds a lot like the Hard Attack album I was listening to on the way in.

♥ 9:33am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & chums. We have rain to clear the air.
Blast I missed Zupfgeigenhansel. Do you remember them from Liederladen. Oh joy.

♥ 9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Oh joy to you, Brian in UK!

♥ 9:44am holland oats:

happy give the drummer summer everyone!

♥ 9:46am Doug Schulkind:

holla holland!

9:47am Jesse K:

hey Doug, if it's not too impolite...who's your spaceman?

♥ 9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Jesse K
I am always happy to reveal my sources: 3.bp.blogspot.com...

9:50am ndbob:

I need to go out for a few - back in a while

♥ 9:50am holland oats:

bukka white, of course! so obviously bukka white. could be none other than bukka white. how did i not see that?!?

♥ 9:51am Doug Schulkind:

I'll save a soft cushion for you, ndbob!

♥ 9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Plain as the helmet on your face, holland oats.

9:53am Jesse K:

ah! shoulda known. If I ran a record store I'd put that in the front window with tralfaz-archives.com...

♥ 9:54am holland oats:

that mouthpiece ain't gonna fit with that helmet

9:54am alfredo_garcia:

this is fawnky

♥ 9:55am Doug Schulkind:

@alfredo_garcia
And it is both Finnish and almost finnish(ed)

♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Love that Shorty cover, Jesse!

♥ 10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Your massively wonderful bassist on this cut is Arnold Dooyeweerd.

10:06am alfredo_garcia:

can't wait to hear you pronounce "Dooyeweerd"

♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@alfredo_garcia
Do you? Weird!

♥ 10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Amina Claudine Myers is dueting here with Andrew Cyrille. Cyrille played live on my show back in 1993, the day Dizzy Gillespie died.

♥ 10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Coming up next, some Sun Ra that you might not have heard. Or may you might've. You'll be glad to hear it regardless.

10:19am ndbob:

and back

♥ 10:21am Doug Schulkind:

I just whipped up another batch of Swiss Miss, ndbob. Grab a straw!

♥ 10:23am Brian in UK:

Rex writes about Amina Claudine Myers in the Old Bin. Duet performances, Larry Young-influenced, terrific percussion.

♥ 10:23am holland oats:

always loved the drum sound on sun's records - point a mic and go

10:24am ndbob:

and I will Doug!

♥ 10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Amina Claudine Myers was, not so many people realize, an early member of the AACM in Chicago.

@holland oats
I saw a live show the other night that was perfectly fine, but the drum sound was terrible and it almost ruined it for me.

♥ 10:27am holland oats:

ms. cantrell's gig?

♥ 10:28am Stau:

Ah, how I long for those cool dusky nights on Saturn.

♥ 10:29am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
Yup! The drums for Camera Obscura sounded like they belonged in a 20,000-seat arena.

@Stau
Very much yes.

♥ 10:30am Stau:

Sun Ra is the Andy Kaufmann of jazz

♥ 10:31am Brian in UK:

Sun Ra is as Sun Ra does.

♥ 10:31am holland oats:

that's the 'obscura' part

♥ 10:34am holland oats:

as ambivalent as i am about exotica overall, martin denny's 'hypnotique' remains on my want list

10:35am glenn:

nope. in fact, tippy martinez picked off three jays in a row one game.

♥ 10:36am holland oats:

al green lick alert

♥ 10:36am holland oats:

(that came out wrong)

♥ 10:36am Stau:

@Holland oats
Those Denny albums are worth the price just for the Sandy Warner covers

♥ 10:38am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
That's the game I was referencing! Tippy Martinez came in after Tim Stoddard gave up the home run in the top of the 10th. Then Tippy picked off three in a row. Ripken hit a game-tying homer to lead off the bottom of the 10th, then later in the inning Lenn Sakata hit a 3-run tater.

10:38am ndbob:

I do remember an Orioles game (against the Jays?) where Elrod Hendricks and others ended up pitching

♥ 10:39am holland oats:

@stau that one in particular

10:40am glenn:

ah.. sorry. i didn't hear you mention tippy.

10:41am Holly in NC:

Morning!

♥ 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
Just be sure to let us know when to lick Al Green. Thanks!

Here is a rather detailed blog post recounting the events of that Orioles game! swingandmiss.blogspot.com...

10:41am glenn:

i won't mention the fact that the jays set the record of 10 home runs in one game against the orioles.

♥ 10:43am Doug Schulkind:

As the father of a school-age daughter, I don't exactly love this song that much.

♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Thanks for not mentioning it!

H O L L Y ! !
I hope you are having a deep-fried-tarantula-free morning!

10:45am Holly in NC:

@Doug - I am ;-)

10:46am ndbob:

Heya Holly!

10:47am glenn:

on sunday, i went to my first game in maybe 20 years. the skydome still sucks.

♥ 10:48am Uncle Michael:

Greetings from the sumptuous Hampton Inn, O'Hare Int'l Airport.

♥ 10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Oh hey, Uncle Michael! Good to see the blood transfusions worked!

10:49am Holly in NC:

Hi ndbob!
Todays bit of actual goodness:

nagonthelake.blogspot.com...

♥ 10:50am Uncle Michael:

For some reason I'm craving bananas.

♥ 10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Holly in NC
How is you friend's dog?

10:52am ndbob:

@Holly How great!

♥ 10:57am Artie:

Suitably bedecked and seated bestride, I can't look away, it pleases my eyes.

♥ 11:01am holland oats:

love me some mike van laar!

♥ 11:04am Stau:

Uncle Mike: Get yourself a On The Run Breakfast Bag to get energized for some platter spinning

♥ 11:04am Doug Schulkind:

Artie at the party! Woo!

♥ 11:05am Uncle Michael:

No platter spinning for me today. Stau.

11:07am Holly in NC:

@Doug - We/re in end game. Tuck can't walk at all on hardwood, so I lay trails of runners ahead of him and partially carry him when necessary. That gets him outside to pee. Reverse course to get back. he collapses on first available runner. I just refilled shallow plastic container of h20 that I keep right by his head. As far as food goes he has given up up on EVERYTHING (including roaat chicken, canned food and most dog treats), We are down to 1 kind of jerky treat (made in US!) and.. bacon. Only have 2 slices bacon & am loath to go into toen, so am rationing the bacon. Will try some ground turkey later, but not hopefull :-(. TUCK NEEDS TO STAY ALIVE TIL MIDNIGHT TOMORROW, SO HIS HUMANS CAN SAY GOODBYE IN PERSON IF AT ALL POSSIBLE SEND HIM GOOD THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!

♥ 11:07am Stau:

Oh man . I was envisioning you at a table in the Hampton Inn lobby spinning records and watching the puzzled faces of waffle makers.

11:09am duke:

UM survived last week. The iron man of WFMU

♥ 11:09am Uncle Michael:

There were side by side waffle makers. I was careful not to mistake them for turntables.

Holly, I'm sorry to hear about the pet hospice.

♥ 11:09am Doug Schulkind:

Oh dear sweet Tuck. Making people happy since 1999 (or thereabouts).

11:10am duke:

@Holly, Best wishes to you and Tuck.

♥ 11:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Stau
"Puzzled Faces of the Waffle Makers" sounds like a great short story.

♥ 11:11am Stanley:

soukous soukous yueaaar

♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind:

So cools.

11:14am Holly in NC:

Sorry about typos. My stress level is through the roof. If Tuck were mine I think I'd have already called vet to come tomorrow, but unless he totally crashes I want Leslie & Mike to get here.

Am assuming Tuck will be OK for at least 6 more hours so just made HUGE Bloody Mary (for me) ;-)

11:15am northguineahills:

holy heyzeus, Holly! Tough times, you're one strong women!

♥ 11:15am Stau:

@ HOLLY in NC
Good thoughts to Tuck! And to his human family. Truly empathize with your situation. Happened to us with our 15 yr old Jack Russell Monty about a year ago. Stay strong!

♥ 11:16am Doug Schulkind:

This nastysweet bit of funk is from Benin!

♥ 11:18am Stanley:

This set is the bomb.

♥ 11:18am Stau:

Honestly never heard of the country of Benin until you just mentioned it. Thanks Doug. (And thanks Google Maps & Wikipedia.)

♥ 11:20am Artie:

Love the guitar fills from Buh-neen.

♥ 11:20am Uncle Michael:

I can type "bomb" now. I'm done with airports for the day.

♥ 11:20am Stau:

This spreadsheet I'm working on seems so much funkier. Hopefully the groove will flow through the figures

♥ 11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Benin is the modern site (more or less) for the great and not so ancient kingdom of Dahomey. They were doing magnificent things with iron in Dahomey when Europeans were still walking on all fours.

♥ 11:21am Stau:

I remember Dahomey! I think I had a stamp from there (yes, collected stamps when I was a nerdy kid).

♥ 11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Of course Benin also gave the world Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, one of the greatest funk organizations ever convened on this or any planet.

♥ 11:25am Artie:

and El Rego!!

♥ 11:25am holland oats:

props to analog africa

♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Artie
Yes!

@holland oats
Yes!

11:28am Holly in NC:

Here's a pic of Tuck feeling much better 3 days ago... sorry for alignment/quality, no idea how else to share on fly

www.pinterest.com...

11:28am northguineahills:

In the 17th c, the Niger delta was known as Benin, the name sort of drifted west in the intervening century.

11:29am northguineahills:

centuries. (I just was looking at a 17th c map of west Africa.)

♥ 11:29am holland oats:

ack @holly so sorry to read this - i love my 11 yo puppy v much & she's slowed down a lot in the past year - counting my blessings that the only issue is hip/stairclimbing trouble at the moment

11:32am Lulu:

we are time traveling with this song..

♥ 11:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Lulu!

Everyone wearing their bibs? Here comes the ink splink!

11:36am βrian:

I once had a friend from Kankan. I had no idea the Niger river took such a circuitous route to the sea:
en.wikipedia.org...

11:37am Lulu:

1928 - that's pretty cool. Thanks for playing.

11:37am Holly in NC:

Love the ink splink! But prefer Bloody Mary for actual drinking :-)

♥ 11:38am Doug Schulkind:

My pleasure, Lulu! 1928 was a great year for music.

Howdy βrian! Did you hear my play Kankan Blues a few weeks back?

11:39am Holly in NC:

Looking at Ink Splink b-side, would think that dirty blesmen would sing praises of toothless women... I guess 1947 too late for that level of entendre in polite company

♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Sam Segal is up next here on your 24-hour Drummer Stream. He's filling in for Uncle Michael and his playlist page is here: wfmu.org...

11:40am βrian:

No, I didn't!
BTW, I once met Ali Farka Touré who said he used to drive a cab in Kankan.

♥ 11:43am Doug Schulkind:

The brother of a friend of mine did some Peace Corp time in Ali Farka Touré's home village. He told me that everyone in town thought he and his music were completely oddball.

11:43am Holly in NC:

This Toby King is great!

♥ 11:44am holland oats:

dammit now i have jim croce's 'operator' stuck in my head - and it's a collect call!!

11:44am northguineahills:

I was going to echo Holly's comment.

♥ 11:44am Doug Schulkind:

I love the label art on the Toby King 45: www.45cat.com...

♥ 11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
You signed a waiver before listening. Sorry. Nothing I can do.

♥ 11:48am Doug Schulkind:

The Wallace Brothers are new to me. Have been BLOWING me away this week.

11:48am Alex in Illinois:

I have been unable to acc

ess the WFMU website via my employer's network since about 9:30 NA EDT this morning, though I have been able to stream the audio part. So I am commenting using the phone app, just to let you know that have been listening the whole time.

♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
So sorry about the obstacles. Thanks for leaping them!

The Wallace Brothers were actually the cousins Ervin Wallace and Johnny Simon.

11:50am Holly in NC:

Wallace (non) Brothers are truly wonderful.

11:50am ndbob:

Indeed Holly
