WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 12/16/14

Listener comments!

It is unforgivable that I have still not seen this film. Stills and GIFs come up so often in my Tumblr stream. Plus it's, what, 20 or 25% of John Cazale's filmography? Which is itself sad.

3:05pm Doug Day Afternoon:

You still have time, James!

5:36pm doca:

That's a great movie, @listener james. Hi, @Doug!

5:37pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi d@ca!

🥁

5:37pm listener james from westwood:

LOL @ "Doug Day Afternoon." How do, Doug, doca, and all!!

5:43pm doca:

Music to rob banks by

5:43pm Doug Schulkind:

You've got the idea, doca!

5:50pm Gary:

I thought "bank robbery" meant when the banks rob us. Does it have an earlier meaning?

5:51pm Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Sorry, we are going to have to charge you a "snark fee" for that comment.

5:54pm davex:

Hey it's Tuesday, almost midnight...

5:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for staying up late with me, davex. I'll make some hot cocoa.

5:56pm davex:

Thanks, Doug! I just popped open something else myself, in fact.

5:57pm davex:

What's the snazzy number playing right now?

5:58pm Doug Schulkind:

@davex
This is Conjunto Balambossa performing "Fiz o Bobão." From 1966.

5:59pm doca:

Haha that means "I've played the fool", @Doug

5:59pm davex:

Perfect, I've been listening to newer Brazilian stuff the last hour or so...

🥁

6:03pm listener james from westwood:

Act natural, this show has a gub.

6:04pm Doug Schulkind:

You beat me to it, LJFW. I was gonna say,

Careful, this show is loaded!

🥁

6:12pm listener james from westwood:

Virgil Starkwell is listening to this show in jail, with an iPhone baked into a huge loaf of bread.

6:13pm Doug Schulkind:

The one with the file app, no doubt.

6:15pm Holly in NC:

Doug Day Afternoon :-) Love it! And such a wonderful movie.
Sad missed Merle.
Glad here!

6:16pm Dean:

The Clash, "Bankrobber"?

6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Holly and Dean!

6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

[Coming up, Dean.]

6:20pm northguineahills:

Hadn't heard Merle Haggard's Bonnie & Clyde before.

6:20pm Dean:

Robert Ashley, "Perfect Lives"?

6:23pm Dean:

Mac Dre, "Punk Police"?

6:25pm Doug Schulkind:

Don't know that Ashley, Dean. Can you hum a few bars? Can you hum a few behind bars?

6:25pm Gary:

This is great -- reminds me a bit of Milkman of Human Kindness guy, what was his name again?

6:27pm Holly in NC:

@Gary - Billy Bragg

6:27pm Carmichael:

Anything by Left Banke. Yikes, hi Doug!

6:28pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Carmichael!

6:29pm Gary:

Thank you, Holly ... and yay Clash!

6:29pm ndbob:

hey Doug and everyone - massive internet issues past few days

6:30pm ndbob:

hopefully I can stay connected

🥁

6:30pm listener james from westwood:

This must be John Carpenter Day. Not only did you have the Escape from New York music, but I read a discourse on the art of swearing in Carpenter's The Thing earlier today, too.

6:30pm Doug Schulkind:

Sorry to hear it, ndbob. Glad you're here. Hope you can hear!

🥁

6:30pm listener james from westwood:

Hang in there, ndbob! Add another potato to the impromptu Internet antenna!

6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

There are no coincidences, Listener James.

6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

This next selection qualifies for this show's theme, but barely.

6:31pm Holly in NC:

I will be sorely disappointed if we don't hear Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper's "I Hate Banks".

6:32pm Doug Schulkind:

But do the actually ROB the banks, Holly?

6:33pm Dean:

I like to think of it as taking out a criminally low interest loan.

6:34pm doca:

Stealing the future!

6:34pm Holly in NC:

@Doug: Yes. Opening verse:
I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under that's where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?

6:36pm Doug Schulkind:

Wish I could rush it onto the air for you, Holly.

6:36pm Carmichael:

I have a few cuts by a band called Cops 'n' Robbers, but they don't mention banks specifically.

6:38pm Doug Schulkind:

I reluctantly chose to leave out Bo Diddley's "Cops and Robbers" for that very reason.

6:38pm Holly in NC:

Meanwhile so psyched about The Ex!

6:39pm Doug Schulkind:

I will keep that Ex track in the back of mind for when I do my hour-long Sperm Special!

6:39pm Holly in NC:

@Doug - Very politic way of saying "no way in hell Holly, I hate that song" :-) xo

6:39pm Dean:

Do songs about robbing savings and loans or credit unions count? Are there any?

6:40pm Jeff g. Where the money is:

hi from Beantown. Love love love Dig Day. I wanna go to Montana, too.

6:40pm Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Jesse Kaminsky will be robbing Peter to play Peter, Paul and Mary—with Kaminsky Kamoutsky—at 7pm ET over here: wfmu.org...

6:41pm Dean:

Didn't Sabbath do a tune about FDIC protection of depositor assets?

6:41pm Jeff g. Where the money is:

I have a sadz tho cuz the FMU app keeps quitting on me. Anyone else having similar trouble?

6:42pm Carmichael:

Jeff, my iphone app is working AOK. Maybe it's your wireless connection?

🥁

6:44pm listener james from westwood:

Otto: no apparent relation to Baldur von Schirach.

6:45pm Jeff g. Where the money is:

Don't think so, Carmichael, as I'm currently streaming via pop-up (on an iPhone). Deleted & redownloaded the app, but it keeps quitting... Hm.

6:46pm Holly in NC:

Can't speak to app as left phone at home, but the dang pop-up player won't open on my computer! I blame the latest Firefox, Mozilla is getting mighty paternal in their efforts to protect user privacy. Pissing me off.

6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
Don't have mine handy. Listener James baked my iPhone into a load of Russian pumpernickel for Virgil Starkwell.

6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

If I didn't play Serge & Bridget, you guys would have flayed me!

6:47pm jeff g in Beantown:

App working now! Whee!

🥁

6:47pm listener james from westwood:

Doug, I would have felt ... robbed.

6:48pm jeff g in Beantown:

@Doug: just abt natural.

6:48pm Holly in NC:

ooohh!!! John Lee Hooker - I'm Bad Like Jesse James !! Will that fit your criteria?

6:48pm Doug Schulkind:

I played this next snippet on my show commemorating the anniversary of...

6:48pm Doug Schulkind:

...Attica.

🥁

6:50pm listener james from westwood:

And THAT's the line I've seen in a bunch of the GIFs I mentioned above.

6:50pm Doug Schulkind:

Yes yes a thousand times yes, Holly.

🥁

6:50pm listener james from westwood:

(the "Kiss me" one)

6:50pm Mike from MPLS:

Candie Hank - Rob The Booty Bank

6:51pm ?:

Sidney Lumet was one hell of a movie director

6:51pm northguineahills:

I love the Laetitia Sadier/Dean Wareham Bonnie & Clyde.

6:51pm doca:

oh that question mark was me

6:52pm Doug Schulkind:

You're onto something big. Mike from MPLS!

@northguineahills
Honestly, I could do an entire show of B&C covers.

6:52pm Joe McG:

Hey, Doug, did you see the documentary "The Dog" yet? He was pretty annoyed about Pacino saying "Attica" in the movie of his life! (He never said it.)

6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

Earl Durand wasn't really much of a bank robber. His life ended during a hamfisted bank robbery, though. So he qualifies.

6:54pm Monica:

doug, your show has me thinking about pens on short ball bearing chains and deposit slips. great theme - and tunes to boot!

6:54pm Carmichael:

This sounds ilke Ed Sullivan.

6:55pm jeff g in Beantown:

Dennis Moore Dennis Moore mm mm mmm.

6:55pm Doug Schulkind:

I haven't seen it, Joe McG. That's the film about the real Brooklyn bank robber John Wojtowicz?

6:56pm Joe McG:

@Doug: That's the guy! A fun watch.

6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Charlie Brown (Charles Artman) was a regular hanger-outer and street singer at Berkeley during the free-speech movement days.

🥁

6:57pm listener james from westwood:

@jeff g: Yes, was humming the same thing during that earlier track. Riding along w/ a giant sack labeled SWAG. Which makes me think it was full of FMU DJ premiums.

6:57pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey John:

ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

Take that.

6:59pm Gary:

No funny parting joke -- but thank you for the show, Doug!

6:59pm davex:

You can bank on this show.

🥁

7:00pm listener james from westwood:

Sweet tribute, Doug! We've dug your phone out of the bread, safe and sound, as promised. Also, corned beef on Russian pumpernickel for all!!

7:00pm Holly in NC:

Thank you, Doug.

7:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Mmmmm, corned beef!

You've been a bang-up audience, y'all!!!
