Listener comments!

🥁

8:48am listener james from westwood:

Good 2015, Doug and all!! The GIF goes well with the snake-oriented song played a few tracks ago.

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

Oddly enough, Listener James, I will be playing that Snake song later on during today's GTDS. There are NO coincidences. Happy 2015!

🥁

8:50am listener james from westwood:

Ssssssssssuperb!

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Save that for Tape Hissssss!

🥁

8:58am listener james from westwood:

Have to get that Paid by the Tear fill-in up and running after Uncle Michael. Enjoyed the hell out of the first show.

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

You could rename this show Unpaid by the Tear!

🥁

9:07am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug. You are surely a gif(t) from above.

🥁

9:07am duke:

Will you be playing the Detroit Cobras today?

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, Brian in UK!

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
I'd be a damn fool not to. (I am a damn fool.)

9:09am glenn:

welcome to the snake pliskin memorial playlist.

9:09am Stanley:

Doug, listeners. A Happy New Ear to us all.

9:09am Holly in NC:

Happy belated New Year, Doug & all! Hope everyone is happy, safe & warm (or cool).

@glenn :-)

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
This playlist is NOT dedicated to Ken Stabler.

Howdy, Holly and Stanley!

🥁

9:10am Brian in UK:

Got me a years supply of snake oil. What shall I call it this time. Something to dull the sexual drive. Viagra Falls?

Hey Stanley. Sunshine over Leith today.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Brian in UK, already in fine form!

9:12am Stanley:

Brian 'tis indeed sunny up here after an initial snow shower. Leith is looking good in its grimy glory.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

This great Waiphot tape comes from the bottomless chest of Thai treasures known as Monrakplengthai: monrakplengthai.blogspot.com

9:14am doca:

Hey, Doug, james, duke, Brian, Holly, Stanley, and the rest lurking over there

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

doca is here!

🥁

9:15am Brian in UK:

Stanley, odd weather. When I went to work on Wednesday it was -3. Today it was +7 & rising.

9:15am holland oats:

oh oh i i recognize this tune

9:16am doca:

I'm here! I love those fake gamelan sounds by OOIOO on this album. It got me thrilled when I understood why the album is called "Gamel" too.

🥁

9:17am Brian in UK:

Thrill Jockey
Secretly Canadian
Superior Viaduct.

There are some great label names around these days.

9:17am hyde:

happy new year, weird music friends!

9:18am holland oats:

@doca saw them live and they were real gamelaning all over the place

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome to the "meeting." You are recognized, holland oats.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Aloha, hyde!

9:19am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:19am doca:

@holland: They have a huge band with them? I say fake kidding only because they are not Indonesian

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

All rise, it's ndbob!

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Gamelaning is my new favorite word.

9:21am holland oats:

2 gamelan players, band was i think 7 total

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Hard to imagine this radio show getting any better than it is right NOW.

9:23am hyde:

does that mean we should just turn it off and go outside?

9:24am hyde:

I think I'll hang around and see if there's a country set, regardless

9:24am glenn:

revolution counter, ready to go. www.flickr.com...

🥁

9:25am Brian in UK:

I love the Miriam album what I got, out on Norton last year.

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

@hyde
You won't have to wait long...

@Brian in UK
Miriam is a wonder.

9:26am glenn:

dude and snake in perfect time with raga rock.

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

OK, tighten your seatbelts, folks.

🥁

9:27am Brian in UK:

The ding is like the bell on a hotel reception.

9:27am still b/p:

More front desk bell!

9:27am Holly in NC:

This IS great, Doug. Have to leave soon to go work for a retired Methodist pastor - she usually enjoys your show except for, er, "difficult" jazz, in which case we have to turn back to her music. Cool thing is she knows/knew Almeda Riddle and has some great lps. Also used to co-own a very well-known dulcimer shop, and plays and has tons of great dulcimer music.

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Holly
Your retired Methodist pastor will probably not enjoy the long Coltrane cut coming up mid-show. Just sayin'.

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

You bet your sweet b/p! (old Laugh-In joke)

9:31am hyde:

personally, I'm drowning in difficult jazz lately--thanks to A Darker Shade of Blue...

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

@hyde
Boy, you ain't kidding.

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

More about the "drowning" than the "difficult," obviously.

9:35am Erella:

Good new year to you, Doug.

9:35am Stanley:

Brian, weird indeed, looks like you've got the temperatures we had yesterday.
My current fave label name is Feeding Tube

9:37am still b/p:

Old Laugh-In shows are being pitched in an infomercial collection, with producer Schlatter proclaiming how groundbreaking and crazy-in-the-studio it all was. Some of that's true, but I tell ya,
back in the 80s or 90s the shows were rerun for a while somewhere....and despite the childhood and cultural nostalgia, I found them largely unwatchable. I think maybe only small, small doses are the thing.

9:38am hyde:

@Doug exactly! those threads are a treasure trove.

🥁

9:38am Brian in UK:

@still b/p very interesting but ..........

9:41am Webhamster Henry:

Digging that tape reverb.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Erella! Best to you, too!

Ahoy and howdy, Webhamster Henry!

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Just played this killer Charlie Parr tune recently, too. So SO great.

9:44am ndbob:

Indeed Doug!

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Here is Joe Maynard's Bandcamp page: maynardandthemusties.bandcamp.com

Git yourself something purty!

9:52am glenn:

funny you should say that. i just ordered all of the maynard / musties records.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Joe is a good joe.

🥁

9:57am Artie Haywire:

Sir Douglas always brings a smile.

9:57am glenn:

he seems to be.

🥁

9:57am doctorjazz:

Absolutely on my list of the songs I loved most this past year!

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

One of Laura's very best songs ever so far.

🥁

9:58am doctorjazz:

Saw her at the record fair, that was great!

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, Artie and doctor J!

🥁

10:01am listener james from westwood:

@doctorjazz Me too, from the vantage of the FMU merch table. Glorious. Then one of the recfair regulars, one of the "characters" we get each year, came over to the table and began badmouthing her. I got a juuuuust a bit steamed.

10:12am Webhamster Henry:

GTDR is a really great experience.
Folks, if you donate to WFMU today, you'll get a surprise tax deduction when you do your 2015 taxes!

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Life is less taxing with WFMU!

10:14am Webhamster Henry:

I'm going to have to rely on the archive more, though, I'm starting a new job on Monday.

10:14am Guido from Cologne:

Will it work with the German taxes?
I should check that.
Happy new year Doug and everyone!

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

G from C!

10:17am Gary:

Snaking in late ...

10:18am Stanley:

Guido - I wish you luck with that. It doesn't work for us in UK.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Gary!

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, congrats, WebHen!

10:20am Guido from Cologne:

I'll try!
Maybe I'll just declare and wait for the complains.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

This next track was NOT endorsed by the N fucking RA.

🥁

10:27am listener james from westwood:

This Temple performance is a good'un!

10:28am Gary:

Glad I caught the Gysin

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

You like you some po-ems, dontcha, Gar!

10:30am Stanley:

Yeah, Coltrane doing it to us again.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

This Coltrane performance got panned in the Temple University student newspaper. The person who produced the concert ending up APOLOGIZING.

10:33am Parq:

Hi, all. Happy New Yar. As near as I can tell, no one has yet noted the passing of Mario Cuomo. As a NY state employee of decades-long tenure, I have a special fondness for him. I will miss him very much, but never more so than whenever I watch his son bow down to the one percent.

10:33am hyde:

heh, I like the idea of "music worth apologizing for"

10:34am hyde:

(not that i would actually condone having to apologize for this, mind you)

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Boy did you say it, Parq. One imagines that son Andrew's centrist extremism must've been killing, if not literally, Mario.

10:37am still b/p:

I remember watching the Cuomo moment at the '84 convention and thinking as he wrapped it up, "That was a good speech." And forever after it was "the" speech in tellings of his rise to recognition.

10:39am Mike East:

good morning. who's drumming?

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
When Cuomo never threw his hat in the ring, the speculation was always that he was holding out for a Supreme Court appointment. When that never came, the speculation was that somebody somewhere had some major dirt on him.

That keynote speech was spellbinding.

10:40am the Canterbury wood-elf:

@Mike It's Rashied Ali

10:42am hyde:

there is some fantastic Rashied Ali material at DSOB, fwiw

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Also Angie DeWitt on bata drum; Robert Kenyatta and Charles Brown on congas.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Mike East! Thanks for the 411, Canterbury wood-elf!

10:44am hyde:

"Robert Kenyatta started out by playing on his mother's oatmeal boxes and then graduated to pots and pans." www.folkloreproject.org...

10:44am still b/p:

Waiting...

www.rollingstone.com...

🥁

10:44am listener james from westwood:

Daaaaaamn! (As I may have said first time I heard this.)

10:45am Parq:

I dunno why the Supreme Court eluded him. Some people think he turned it down. As for the Presidency, writer and comic Will Durst said it -- as far as the average American voter was concerned, "Mario" is not the name of the President, it's the name of the guy who operates the Tilt A Whirl when the carnival comes to town.

10:45am Guido from Cologne:

monster!

10:46am hyde:

Robert Kenyatta has to be the one person who played with Coltrane, Wilson Pickett, the Stylistics and The Beach Boys

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

@hyde
I did the pots and pans thing, too. Never ended up with Coltrane, however. AND I WAS GOOD!

@Parq
And we then became a country that elected Barack Hussein Obama. Progress? Progress!

10:47am hyde:

@Doug and I bet you never played with the Beach Boys, either

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Not after I bitchslapped Mike Love, I sure didn't.

10:50am Parq:

Okay, from a local New York daily:

With Clinton on the verge of formally announcing the nomination, Cuomo reached out to the White House to express his second thoughts, according to accounts by former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulis and author Jeffrey Toobin.

After several days of uncertainty, Cuomo wrote Clinton, "I do not know whether you might indeed have nominated me, but because there has been public speculation, I think I owe it to you to make clear now that I do not wish to be considered," Cuomo wrote.

Clinton himself did not acknowledge that he offered the nomination to Cuomo until a 2012 appearance at a fund-raiser for the homeless at the Waldorf-Astoria.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

~gulp!~

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

The prettiest Braxton song I've ever heard? The prettiest Braxton song I've ever heard!

10:56am Mike East:

I'll second that.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Is anyone else having trouble getting the playlist page to load and reload?

10:57am Mike East:

all good here.

10:58am Mike East:

...using Chrome.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

I'm using Chrome, too. My playlist page and also the playlist database page I use to enter all the text, is exceedingly slooooow.

🥁

11:03am listener james from westwood:

Seems OK on this end via Firefox.

11:03am hyde:

ditto on Firefox here

🥁

11:05am Brian in UK:

There's dancing tonight.

11:05am doca:

Yes! I was going to ask if you would play this track, Doug

11:06am still b/p:

Like "Shrimp Boats." No like shrimp.

11:07am redkayak:

This IS pretty awesome...

🥁

11:07am Brian in UK:

This is on repeat until the end of the show, so go make that dry martini you have been promising yourself.

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

If I had any guts, doca, I would play it twice—again!

Welcome aboard, redkayak! (Or maybe I shoud ask if I could board you.)

11:09am Gary:

Yay Shrimp Boats!

11:09am redkayak:

Happy 2015, Doug - and greetings from frozen Illinois. No paddling today!

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

I hear a deep-freeze is headed east. I have a house guest who's sibling was camping in southern Utah a few days ago and reported that it was -29°F at night.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Matt Fiveash didn't do his show on the stream yesterday (he was filled in for most ably by Sasha Jones of Paid By the Tear), but Matt will be on WFMU tonight, filling in for Mr. Finewine and Downtown Soulville! The show airs 8-9pm (eastern) on WFMU proper.

11:14am redkayak:

Sounds about right. Modest thaw today....then Blammo! :/

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Blammo sounds like a town in northern Minnesota. Nice little Swedish/Norwegian enclave.

11:16am still b/p:

I camped in -25°F temps in the Quebec woods. Didn't know S. Utah dropped so deep cold thataway.

11:17am redkayak:

Yeah......Finnish, maybe...

11:17am hyde:

i think Blammo would have been a better brand name than Semtex

11:17am Uncle Michael:

Good morning everyone.

11:18am Mike East:

Blammo was the brand name they used on Ren & Stimpy I think...makers of "Log"

11:18am ndbob:

morning UM!

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you're home, safe and sound, Uncle Michael! Especially SOUND. (You're not stuck in a snowdrift, are ya?)

11:19am hyde:

@Mike East hah, that figures

11:21am Gary:

Loving this All Stars track

11:21am Stanley:

Love these fetish guys. The medicine men and women I encountered in Africa all did a side line in homemade booze.

11:22am Stanley:

(including the Muslim ones)

11:22am Uncle Michael:

No weather hear yet. I just didn't want to be out scouring the countryside for provisions this afternoon when the whole town will be.

11:23am Mike East:

that reminds me...I need a new shovel.

11:23am Mr C:

I did let the sun set on me in Tulsa last year. Hopefully won't repeat same. Thanks Wayne Carson for reminder.

11:24am Mr C:

I did let the sun set on me in Tulsa last year. Hopefully won't repeat same. Thanks Wayne Carson for reminder.

11:24am jk:

Hello and howdy from Arkansas everybody!

11:24am hyde:

@UM they say the shelves will be emptied of bread

11:25am redkayak:

The winter of '13-'14 just about sent me south for good. I consider myself pretty acclimated to the Imperial Midwest - but that was ridiculous.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Great to see you, Mr C!

Hey hey, jk!

11:27am still b/p:

I bought an extra loaf of focaccia earlier this week, and I'm prepared to let it go for $35 plus shipping.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

The coldest it got in Pittsburgh last winter was -9°F. My Chicago-born wife was laughing at me. This is nothing, she would cackle while icing down the sidewalk in her Speedo.

11:30am redkayak:

Last winter got me & the missus thinking about life in the Carolinas. Amazing, but true.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Focaccia way better than Ed Koch, yeh!

11:31am ndbob:

The coldest in Bloomington last year was -10 F - however the average January low in Jamestown is -4 F so not so bad

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

You traded up, ndbob!

There are more than a few North Carolinians listening, redkayak, in case you wanted to ask a question.

11:33am still b/p:

"How'm I doughin'?"

11:33am Mike East:

my wife and I have had similar thoughts, redkayak.

11:35am redkayak:

Doug - Thanks....it may come to that :)

11:36am redkayak:

Mike - Yes.....the number of such discussions rise as the temps drop. Ask me again in a month, lol....

11:37am Uncle Michael:

Listening to some Stuff?

images.popmatters.com...

11:38am Mike East:

We are combating the "horrible months" this year by taking a vacay to Florida mid February, so we can atleast break it up a bit. My wife booked last week...Already I can't wait.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Your accent wasn't nasally enough.

11:39am Mike East:

and for the record - @still b/p - lol.

11:40am redkayak:

Adios all, have a good weekend. Happy 2015!

11:40am Parq:

Somehow a song called "Impeach Me" seems to fit the current political climate.

🥁

11:41am listener james from westwood:

Here comes that snake!

11:43am Rich in Washington:

I thought he sang 'hide the snake'. Sorry. I really did.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

I should have followed Impeach Me Baby with Eat a Peach. No I shouldn't have.

@Listener James
Is telling the truth speaking with a spooned tongue?

11:43am Mr C:

The Snake is like Tom Jones singing Secret Agent Man

11:45am Uncle Michael:

I hope you can all join me in the next room at the top of the hour.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

11:50am Mr C:

Roy Hamilton did a great version of Dark End of the Street..

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Playlist page here: wfmu.org...

11:53am Mr C:

There you go Doug! The fantastic sound of Walter Jackson! Your on the pulse now..

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

You gotta give him points for honesty.

🥁

11:56am Brian in UK:
