Just like a shark, the stream can only move forward. That and it has huge honkin' teeth.

Wild Halibut saying a brief hello.
Avatar 5:59pm ndbob:

evening Doug and everyone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:59pm Doug Schulkind:

Listening just for the halibut, Brian in UK?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:00pm Jeff Golick:

Who's the DJ that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, ndbob!
Avatar 6:03pm Carmichael:

Back in Black! Well, actually tan Dockers. But that doesn't have the same ring to it ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Jeff Golick and Carmichael! Carmichael and Jeff Golick!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:04pm Jeff Golick:

This guitar riff brings me right back to semi-finished basements in my Massachusetts suburb, dancing around like an 8-yr-old lunatic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:05pm Doug Schulkind:

You mean last Wednesday morning, Jeff Golick?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:07pm Doug Schulkind:

If you think of your Christmas tree as being like a "shaft," then Merry Christmas!
Avatar 6:07pm Carmichael:

He's a complicated DJ, and no one understands him but his ... cat.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm Jeff Golick:

...and this coming weekend, Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm listener james from westwood:

How do, Doug and all pimps, players, suckers, and their backers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Shut your mow.....!
Avatar 6:12pm Carmichael:

I didn't know Shaft was left-handed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:12pm listener james from westwood:

There's always room in my heart for one of these drop-in tracks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm Jeff Golick:

"Oh, well."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:14pm Doug Schulkind:

And now from... yes... Poland
Avatar 6:16pm glenn:

sheft.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:16pm Doug Schulkind:

Think of all the poor suckahs who are missing this show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:17pm listener james from westwood:

I pity the fools! (Then I point them to the archives.)
Avatar 6:18pm glenn:

Octopus in boots, a Xmas eve eve tradition!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:21pm Jeff Golick:

Feast of the Seven Fishes, glenn?
Avatar 6:25pm northguineahills:

Is this Shaftopia?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:26pm Doug Schulkind:

No, northguineahills. It's Shaftvana!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:27pm Jeff Golick:

Just me, or did Shaft start punching faster...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:29pm Doug Schulkind:

Do you like the slow, medium or fast punch, Jeff Golick? This is a full-service program.
Avatar 6:30pm Carmichael:

Here is something about the Gout album: www.last.fm...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm Joe McG:

Ah, there's the one I've been waiting for, Doug! Steel pan Shaft is my favorite!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm Jeff Golick:

This version wins the Shaft-off.

(I like medium.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:32pm Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Joe McG!

@Carmichael
That is all apocryphal. There are sound samples on the LP that come from well past 1974. It is a well-made hoax. Just don't know who made it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:33pm Doug Schulkind:

We'll stay on the Carib tip. This time, the Bahamas...
Avatar 6:38pm Carmichael:

I thunk as much, Doug. Now, I'm interested ....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Jeff Golick:

This comment thread from D:O goes into a bit of detail re the Atrocity hoax (scroll down a ways): destination-out.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Doug Schulkind:

This South African version of Shaft has been provided by the amazing Electric Jive blog as part of its "Office Party" mixtape for 2014. Here: electricjive.blogspot.com...

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Jesse Kaminsky is up next on the Drummer Stream with Kaminsky Kamoutsky. The show begins in 16 minutes. Playlist page here: wfmu.org...
  6:46pm Fredericks:

This is great stuff, right here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Oh yeah, I have scoured the comments on that D:O Post many times. Some people have speculated (incorrectly, I believe) that the folks behind the Art Jackson's Atrocity LP are the same who created this record that I shared on the WFMU blog a while ago: blog.wfmu.org...

Welcome, Fredericks! See the link above to the South African blog where you can download this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:48pm davex:

Checking in late - looks like I've shafted myself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:49pm Doug Schulkind:

The amazing and wonderful Johnny Pate just turned 91 this month.

Ho ho ho, davex!
Avatar 6:50pm Carmichael:

Doug, check out my avatar. Tampa Tribune, 7/31/87. No idea if its real.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

Yup, Carmichael. Seen that. In my opinion, that is too "real" looking.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

Shutcher mouth!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm davex:

I can dig this Charmers track.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:54pm Doug Schulkind:

@davex
Well get out a bigger shovel for our next (and, sadly, final) selection.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm listener james from westwood:

Ah, was hoping for the Malik version.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm davex:

Wow, you got that right! And I'll surely be heading down the archive shaft sometime soon...
Avatar 6:57pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!
Avatar 6:58pm northguineahills:

Thanks Doug for shafting us.. wait, wrong choice of words.....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:59pm listener james from westwood:

Thanks for the Ike-o-rama, Doug. Ewige Blumenshaft!
