WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 01/06/15

Listener comments!

5:48pm Gary:

I returned from an extended trip to Mucous-on-Hudson ... what's cookin'?

5:49pm Doug Schulkind:

You could use some Halls Mentho Lyptus of Fame, Gary!

5:56pm Carmichael:

Ric-o-la .....

5:57pm Doug Schulkind:

I'm about to tweak the playlist title which will render all the early comments moot. My apologies.

6:00pm ndbob:

evening Doug and everyone!

6:02pm doca:

Evening, Doug and people!

6:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, ndbob and doca!

6:02pm doca:

There should be a WFMU Hall of Infamy

🥁

6:02pm listener james from westwood:

Howdy, Doug and all Hall of Famers!

6:04pm Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Listener James—the Honus Wagner of GTDR listeners!

6:06pm ndbob:

wow had no idea Major Bill Smith recorded

6:06pm Carmichael:

Major Bill did NOT make it on the 1st ballot.

6:06pm Gary:

Halls of Fame originated as an idea in the early 19th century, but no fame halls were actually erected until the beginning of the 20th.

6:08pm Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Who the heck is Major Bill Smith?!? Please have a 10-page essay on my desk in the morning.

6:08pm doca:

Is there a real HALL in the hall of fame or it is just a symbolic hall, not an actual building?

6:08pm ndbob:

@Doug record producer - produced people like Paul and Paula

6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Thanks! (But you still have to write the essay.)

6:11pm Carmichael:

Someone broke into his studio and stole a bunch of master tapes that the Major was hoarding to sell himself. Who was it? Hank Jr? Waylon Jennings? whoever it was ended up unraveling them down the main avenue.

6:11pm Doug Schulkind:

The performance space at WFMU in Jersey City could be called, unofficially, the Monte Hall of Fame.

6:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Veeery inneresting, Carmichael!

6:21pm Gary:

Yay new show!

6:22pm doca:

What's the new show, @Doug?

6:23pm Doug Schulkind:

If I forget to announce it, Gary, give me a nudge.

@doca
New show on the stream begins a week from Thursday, 7-9pm (ET). I will announce the particulars on Friday's show!

6:24pm Jeff Golick:

Hi.

6:26pm Jeff Golick:

Here's something that should be in the hall of fame for being a doofus (or the internet comedy hall of fame, whichever): www.deathandtaxesmag.com...

6:27pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Jeff! Will that link make noise?

🥁

6:28pm listener james from westwood:

Jeff, the ability of weight-training folk to argue over such "how many angels can deadlift on the head of a pin" questions, calendar-related and not, would make Charles Atlas throw up his own feet.

6:29pm Jeff Golick:

No, just the sound of you chuckling incredulously...

6:30pm Jeff Golick:

I just love the utter seriousness of it all.

6:30pm Holly in NC:

Hi Doug & all!

@Jeff - My head hurts. I've encountered a few, very few TheJoshs in my life and.... ACK!

🥁

6:31pm listener james from westwood:

I chuckled incredulously at the link on that site to the dildo-boiling story.

6:32pm northguineahills:

Cool, got home in time. I got time to eat, and jet, The bar down the street asked me to play SY-related rarities on vinyl and cassette. Should be fun.

6:32pm Carmichael:

Wow, a regular Algonquin Round Table at that link, Jeff G.

6:32pm Holly in NC:

Ah, I went for the toilet paper tweet :-)

6:32pm glenn:

the tim raines of alternate streams.

6:33pm Doug Schulkind:

NGH! Holly in NC!

6:35pm Doug Schulkind:

TODD-A-PHONIC TODD JOINS IN!!!

6:35pm davex:

Tuning in and - what's this???

6:37pm northguineahills:

That's a fun read, now brain hurt.

6:39pm Carmichael:

I could listen to this stream every other day of the week. That's 4 times.

6:41pm Doug Schulkind:

Oi oi oi, davex!!

6:42pm Doug Schulkind:

Anyone know (without Googling) which film had this Fleshtones track on its soundtrack? From 1984.

6:43pm glenn:

ima say bachelor party, with tom cruise.

6:44pm Jeff Golick:

@Carmichael: ...

I got nuffin.

6:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Youa right, glenn! Come collect your Kewpie Doll (during business hours).

6:44pm glenn:

at least i think it was called bachelor party.

6:44pm Carmichael:

Hmmm ... Mystery Date (Ethan Hawke)?

6:45pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
At first I thought you typed "I got muffin." Made me hungry.

6:46pm Gary:

Oh, it's the Fleshtones! I had to get up from the dinner table to find out.

6:46pm glenn:

it's a great soundtrack from what i recall. also contains wind out by r.e.m.

6:47pm Doug Schulkind:

OK, that made me hungry, too, Gary.

6:48pm Carmichael:

Dang, too late! Mystery Date had GWAR and Kid Creole performing in various nightclubs during the chase scene.

6:49pm davex:

Nothing obscure about this show!

6:49pm Holly in NC:

Oh, VERY cool Doug (Hip Hop Hall of Fame) !

6:50pm davex:

It's all famous I mean. Okay, my joke was obscure.

6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

Finishing up the show next will be yet a FOURTH different song called "Fool's Hall of Fame." This one was written by George Clinton.

6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

@davex
The obscurer, the better!

6:52pm Gary:

This is awesome, but he's pretty much putting *everyone* in the HHHoF. Is that really fair?

6:52pm davex:

True! Actually what ever happened to the obscurometer?

6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

6:56pm Carmichael:

Tavares! They said "Girl, ..." quite a bit, as I recall.

6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
My wife Jessie's father was a ward captain in Mayor Daley's Chicago. TELL ME ABOUT IT!

6:56pm Sam:

So first there was Fargo, then there was Argo, and now there's another Fargo?

6:57pm northguineahills:

Thanks Doug, you're in our Hall of Fame!

6:57pm davex:

First there was Key Largo.

6:58pm ndbob:

6:58pm Doug Schulkind:
