🥁

8:55am duke:

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

To the moon, Listener Hames, to the moon!

9:00am ausmanx:

midnight tolls in the antipodes...

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
I myself have always been pro podes.

9:04am Webhamster Henry:

Something was playing on the stream right before the show that sounded like Toots Thielemans, but it was untitled. It's a kind of Tootsy day here.

🥁

9:04am listener james from westwood:

Whoops! We're back on the stream.

9:04am Jeff Golick:

Lost ya Doug.

9:04am Gary:

Back live now (for me, anyway)

9:05am Jeff Golick:

...and back to you, Doug.

9:05am Doug Schulkind:

Having some connectivity issues this morning. Keep an ear out and drop me a comment if you lose me (or I you).

9:05am ausmanx:

you can gte arrested for that, i believe, doug. one pro is that we get to watch the World Series at breakfast time, though. i quite like that

9:05am Jeff Golick:

I'll here all day for completely redundant and secondarily useless commentary!

9:07am Webhamster Henry:

Tuesdays: Give The Drummer Some More

9:07am holland oats:

greets drumma et al - regular stream has been a bit wonky for the past half hour or so too

9:08am Gary:

Cut out again :(

9:09am Gary:

back in now, gypsy song

9:10am holland oats:

78s going steady?

9:10am Uncle Michael:

geepsy

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Something weird is going on because iTunes is not getting my song information. Not sure where the problem lies, but it's pretty clearly at WFMU's end...

9:11am Parq:

I use an old iPhone to stream FMU and it sometimes cuts out, so it's hard sometimes to tell me whether it's me or you. Hang in there.

🥁

9:15am listener james from westwood:

If it helps, I see Faron Young at the top of my iTunes window, so maybe it's working?

🥁

9:16am listener james from westwood:

And now Big Jeff.

9:17am Jeff Golick:

Who's a big jeff now?

9:19am Shaun:

Afternoon Doug and all.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

It's a little harder for me to comment because I've got to keep an eye on the faulty connection. Don't take it personally!

Hi Shaun!

9:21am lucyinbrooklyn:

morning, doug! chilly and fally in Brkln -- Nice music to work to!

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

So glad you're here (there) lucyinbrooklyn! I wsih I was there, too!

9:22am Shaun:

How 'bout them Royals &c?

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

The Royals beat my Orioles, so I hope they go down in flames.

9:23am Parq:

Wow, this is what it used to be like listening to the FMU stream on dial-up.

9:25am Shaun:

as a Brit, bit weird to be cheering FOR Royals.

9:25am Webhamster Henry:

I like the dropouts and inserts, but of course, I usually listen to the Broadcast stream.

9:26am Webhamster Henry:

Boredcast that is, Mr. Spell checker

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Just got thrown again. I wonder if any of the other WFMU streams are having the same problem.

9:28am Shaun:

With my new-found baseball expertise, Doug, I can say the O's have the best caps.

🥁

9:28am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and sensation seekers.

Shaun what are you talking about?

9:29am ausmanx:

soppy Korean comedy melodrama on the second screen tonight

9:29am doca:

Hi, Doug, is it just me or the stream is shitty today?

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

Just saw that people are complaining about the stream failing for WFMU's main channel, too. The problem is system-wide. I will just keep reconnecting...

9:29am Parq:

So what's going on, gang? We'll talk among ourselves while we're waiting.

9:30am still b/p:

Cap-O di tutti capi?

🥁

9:30am listener james from westwood:

Got some music streamin!

9:31am Shaun:

Afternoon Brian. A primitive firm of cricket. (Played between the Kansas City Royals and the SF Giants).

9:32am Shaun:

HA. The British royal family call themselves 'the firm'.

9:33am Parq:

Okay, is he back up? Coz I've got dead silence. Maybe I need to restart my device.

9:33am Uncle Michael:

This sounds like the stream...maybe.

9:34am ausmanx:

stream is good in Sydney!

9:36am ausmanx:

and as soon as i said that. oh well, back to Korean karaoke

9:36am Stanley:

So this is where the action is at!

9:37am Jeff Golick:

I hear Doug talking about Big Jeff...is that where we all are? Or am I stuck in a strange loop?

9:38am Jeff Golick:

AGLET! Where were you on Wednesday, Doug?

🥁

9:39am Brian in UK:

Twice movement of gposts.

9:40am Uncle Michael:

He's dead, Jim.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Are you hearing the Santa Ageda tune?

🥁

9:42am Brian in UK:

Yus, how would I know who it was though.

9:42am Uncle Michael:

Sounds like an appalachian singer and picker.

🥁

9:43am Brian in UK:

iTunes tells me it is so. Just dipped for a second.

9:43am Shaun:

I got the picker.

9:44am Gary:

Hearing Saline

9:45am Jeff Golick:

The pop-up player sez "Alfredo Gutierrez y Su Conjunto" but I'm hearing...Texas blues?

🥁

9:45am Brian in UK:

Shaun I did not bother with tickets for Mark Kozelek's return to these shores soon.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Is Saline the solution?

9:46am Webhamster Henry:

ahh there's the cojunto

9:47am Jeff Golick:

ok this could be Johnny Colon...

9:47am Webhamster Henry:

it's gone again .. put in a call to the NSA.

9:47am annie:

so sorry you're experiencing this doug.. my ears are commiserating with you

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Now I am getting bucked off the stream, but my visual of the stream is getting delayed so I don't know.

9:47am Shaun:

When's laughing boy here Brian?

9:48am Listener Gregory:

You know, I think I'll wait until the show is archived and then give a listen. Presumably the archive won't have the drop-outs (I say with no evidence whatsoever).

🥁

9:48am Artie:

Oh no. The sky smile has turned up side down! =[

9:48am Gary:

Was hearing "It's Impossible" and now just switched to Latin music (no doubt the mambo)

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

OK. I've got the stream up on my iPhone. I must remember to turn it down before I go on mic or your will get feedback.

9:49am Jeff Golick:

Stopped, restarted pop-up and we're back to the mambo!

9:49am Parq:

This is becoming hallucinatory.

9:50am still b/p:

I had a Saline solution comment ready just before his own came from the cockpit, but I'd figured Drummer don't need no unhelpful kids-messin'-in-the-backseat bullshit just now. Or it'll be the belt.

🥁

9:52am Artie:

I put a little molé in my mushrooms and now my medulla is doing a mambo.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

If you are using the pop-up, you probably have to manually restart — a lot.

9:53am Uncle Michael:

I don't use the pop-up.

My plan, if the stream is wonky when I go on, is to shine it on. I'll assume that there's nothing I can do about it. I'll do the show for the archives and whatever streaming occurs will be mushroom gravy.

🥁

9:55am Brian in UK:

Dec 3rd at a church in East Lunnon. After Augusts cancellation I cannot be arsed. Like the 'laughing boy' tag.
Did you hear 'Under Milk Wood' last Saturday on Radio Four. Brilliant.

🥁

9:56am Brian in UK:

Just fitted a new router, cannot connect to internet radio right now. My problems are minor league.

9:57am Jeff Golick:

@doug: nice em dash back there.

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

I used to run the 100-year em dash. Now it's a 100-meter em dash.

10:02am Parq:

I just lost the connection in the middle of Doug's explaining why the connection is wonky. Savor the irony.

10:02am Gary:

BU'T THAT'S THEI'R NAM'E!

10:03am Shaun:

A full play out of the Stan Tracey album, Brian? About time.

🥁

10:07am duke:

I have been listening to a lot of Roswell Rudd lately. Maybe it's the GTDS influence.

10:07am Jeff Golick:

Roswell Rudd likes a microphone.

10:08am Gary:

Awesome intro

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Roswell Rudd's record "Maine" is maybe my most favoritest record evah.

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

No Shaun the melliflous Richard Burton.
Such great lines like 'Thirst like a dredger'.

10:09am John Coltrane:

I'd like a word, Doug?

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

@John Coltrane
Which word do you prefer?

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom. Is that what you had in mind, JC.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

I think that is spelled "Awopbopaloobopalopbambo'om," Brian in UK.

10:12am Mr C:

Roswell Rudd : key member of NY Art Quartet from ESP days.Big fan.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Mr C! Yes, Rudd is a treasure.

10:15am Jeff Golick:

Great doc on the NYAQ: www.thebreathcoursesthroughus.com... Rudd was at the NY premiere (Milford, too) and spoke a while.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

SILENT FUNDRAISER REALITY CHECK...
We're only $248 away from reaching the new and improved goal!!!

🥁

10:23am Brian in UK:

Wel Doug Squirrel Hill has brought out the Pittsburghese in you. You sophisicate you.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

I believe resident tech guru/buddha Jeff Moore has massaged something in the background to help our connection stay connected. Please send him some telepathic hugs.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
John in San Antonio, Texas, for moving the pledgometer to 88%!!!

10:25am annie:

very weird: i just put the ipod on the stereo with the laptop still on.. 2 very differing pieces of music, mostly in the speakers being about 1/2 second off and the treble/bass thing diff for both apparatus. parq! you had this same experience once didn't you? i kinda like this.. think i'll keep it this way for this piece at least.

10:38am Jesse K:

wow they're throwing quotes all over the place in this song.

🥁

10:38am listener james from westwood:

Oh, Asha, there you go teasing us w/ another kickass tune mid-this one.

10:39am Gary:

Jesse, you beat me to it

🥁

10:39am listener james from westwood:

Or several!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

How's everything sounding? I have been monitoring on my iPhone (with about a 25-second delay that is making me slightly seasick) and have heard no dropouts for the past 20+ minutes.

Shit. I just jinxed it.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Pittsburgh just got voted as having the "ugliest accent" by some website.

So it must be true.

🥁

10:42am Brian in UK:

In the UK the West Midlands accent never comes out favourably.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

This Khen Dalao is another brilliant offering from Peter Doolan's Monrakplengthai: monrakplengthai.blogspot.com...

🥁

10:43am Brian in UK:

Normally it is the bloke down the pub who told his neighbour who told......

10:44am Guido from Cologne:

ਜਰਮਨੀ ਤੱਕ ਗ੍ਰੀਟਿੰਗ

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Guido from Cologne:
ਪਿਟ੍ਸ੍ਬਰ੍ਗ ਤੱਕ ਗ੍ਰੀਟਿੰਗ

🥁

10:47am listener james from westwood:

Sounds good on this side via iTunes.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

The Chinese school teacher upbraided her class: "Sit quietly. I don't want to hear a pipa out of you!"

10:49am still b/p:

Beware the Punjabberwock, my son!

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Hey still b/p! Glad you're still still b/p!

🥁

10:50am Brian in UK:

If Kai Phut Kan so Kan Yhu.

10:51am Gary:

Kinky!

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

If only Chuck Barris had hosted the King Gong Show.

10:56am still b/p:

I like that, and a look-up brought me to the YouTubes, where someone decided what the visual version needed was a persisting effect. I'm not sure...
www.youtube.com...

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Yup, left my mic on.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Message for Gary Sullivan:
MAYUMI KOJIMA ALERT...MAYUMI KOJIMA ALERT!

11:00am Jeff Golick:

Take a sip of water, man.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I feel like I dumped a whole stream on my head.

11:02am Gary:

I heard her voice while I was editing and switched back here to comment!

11:02am Gary:

Great, now I'm going to cry about the frog.

🥁

11:04am listener james from westwood:

It's a shame it won't live, but then again, who does?

11:04am Guido from Cologne:

これは素晴らしいです！

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

My work is done, Gary.

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

@Guido from Cologne:
ਖੁਸ਼ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਪਸੰਦ!

11:05am still b/p:

Froggy went a' Kyoto and she good-byed, uh-huh.

11:10am Gary:

Yay Charlie!

🥁

11:10am listener james from westwood:

w00t! The notorious Chazaloo!!

🥁

11:11am listener james from westwood:

w00t! New show! Slow and cautious wins the race!

11:11am Gary:

Yay new show!

11:11am Lewis:

excellent news wrt to Charlie!! listening from CA for a change
greetings...

🥁

11:12am duke:

I'm all in favor of GTDS world domination

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Lewis in Cali! Lewis in Cali!

I'm with you, duke.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

I believe the correct and official term for Charlie coming back is w000t!

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

I WOULD LOVE it if we could get the pledge total to at least 90% before the end of the show. That would put us in strong shape to reach the goal next week. I WOULD LOVE that.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Dan in Providence!!

I LOVED that!

🥁

11:17am listener james from westwood:

I've had a sort of phantom limb syndrome for where Charlie and Kenzo were in the schedule. But then I miss shows that went off the 91.1 air schedule in like 2003. Sentimental type, I am. Attachments galore.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Earlier in the show I was speaking for organ transplant rejection. Now we've got phantom limb syndrome. This has been a heavy show.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Brian in UK has brought us to (within 90% of) the MOUNTAIN TOP!

🥁

11:25am listener james from westwood:

Heavy in discussion, light in musical spirit.

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

Doug Sisyphus, there is NO mountain top.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Not to bring down the euphoria, but...

Harry Mosco from Nigeria's Funkees came to a miserable and heart-broken end two years ago. Read the horribly sad story here: www.thenigerianvoice.com...

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Brain in UK
Climb on my back and I we'll tumble down the mountain together.

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

10%? Thanks for the upgrade once more. Chortle.

🥁

11:29am Brian in UK:

Probably mentioned this before but a recommended read.
www.goodreads.com...

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

I pinky promise that if we hit THIS goal, I won't let the WFMU high command set a new, higher goal. I will lay my body down before the old goal and say over my dead body. In the sand. Next to the line in the sand. That I also drew as a back-up in case my body wasn't persuasive enough.

11:31am Wendy del Formaggio:

I'll add my voice to the chorus: yay for Charlie coming back on the air!

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Doug, can I have your leaf blower if it does not work?

11:33am Uncle Michael:

I hope everyone will join me for singles going unsteadily at the top of the hour. www.wfmu.org...

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

It's Cheesy Wendy from the Boro of Brattle!

@Brian in UK
Blow me.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Shingles growing steady? Will you be scratching the records, Uncle Michael?

🥁

11:34am listener james from westwood:

Doug to WFMU: You shall not pass! (Or "None shall pass!" if you're more Python than Tolkien.)

🥁

11:34am Brian in UK:

Weeeeelllll!!!!!!

Three chairs for Charlie.

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
If the killer rabbit appears, I'm outta here.

11:36am Uncle Michael:

Tis but a scratch!

11:40am Uncle Michael:

Lester Abrams. I know several members of L.A. Carnival and am in touch with Lester.

🥁

11:41am Brian in UK:

Nice one Doug, better get dog walking.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

LESTER. Thank you, UM!

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Make it back in time to hear the closing track, Brian. It's a doozy.

🥁

11:43am listener james from westwood:

Attn: Jeff Golick: The term destination-out appears in a block of code in the book about JavaScript coding I'm proofreading. Looks like they wanted to jazz up their programming!

11:44am holland oats:

trippy flautist

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Just doing some accounting...

We are now $190.83 away from hitting 100%. Happy to get that done on Tuesday's show and then have a free Friday next week!

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

holland otis, MY MAN!! (vague Animal House reference)

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael will be killing men with his bare hands over here in 15 minutes: wfmu.org...

11:46am Uncle Michael:

I can't post a link to a picture of my dad shaking hands with Lester Abrams, his employee...but I'm working on it.

11:47am Jeff Golick:

@ljfw: weirdness!

11:49am Stanley:

This has been a good backdrop to otherwise a tiresome working day. Thanks Doug.
Soon will be beer time when a working man can drown his sorrows.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Be not sorrowful, Stanley. There is much beer to be had!

11:51am Flash Strap:

Don't usually get to tune in live, but today is different. So glad to catch the back half of this roofburnin show, Doug. LA Carnival was HOT

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

F L A S H S T R A P !

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

The worst/best apology song ever, up next.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe just maybe, dude, honest isn't the best policy here.

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Page 6 of this PDF...my dad and Lester...locked in a soul shake. hinkydinky.net...

11:56am Dean:

This track perhaps explains its flip side.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

And our winner is Dean. Dean is our winner.

11:57am Wendy del Formaggio:

Oh my gosh. Nobody should ever play this "I Forgot" song for their sweetheart. What a lame-oh! But it's also so great. Is it a Mad Magazine production?

11:58am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room!

11:58am Gary:

Thanks for another terrific show!

11:58am Alex In Illinois:

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. "Dude, that's not going to help!"

11:59am holland oats:

really big shoe as always doug

🥁

11:59am listener james from westwood:

@UM: Wow, good on ya for hanging onto that letter. 4/71!!
Doug, thanks very much for today's show!

11:59am Alex In Illinois:

I hope Wendy's theory is true.

11:59am Guido from Cologne:

Great set this ... CU and thaks!

🥁

12:01pm duke:

Thanks Doug

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Say it in Punjabi, Guido!!!

Thanks EVERYbody!

🥁

5:10pm bobdc:

Listening to this show a day late, I'm not hearing any of the technical difficulties you describe, so the recording is fine. In fact, it's great! (Especially Surangani--I love the Dum Maro Dum quote.)

6:45pm Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
Hey there! The reason you're not hearing any technical problems is that I record the archives for my shows in my home studio, before the audio gets streamed. I was able to edit out a couple of points where I stopped and started a tune because of the massive connection interruptions. It's like cheating death.
