May an elephant caresses you with its toes.

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Tusk, tusk, Brian in UK...

8:53am doca:

Hey, Doug and drummers. I've missed yesterday's new show. Any point in asking if it was amazing?

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

That's what archives are for, doca!

8:54am doca:

Yeah I'll check it out later, but I think I'm gonna miss the next two shows. I'll be travelling.

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

Travel safe, Sir.

🥁

8:58am duke:

Namaste y'all

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Duke!

9:04am doca:

I'll send ya a photo of the beach I'll probably be near in Rio

🥁

9:04am duke:

@doca take us with you

9:06am doca:

@duke: I always travel with WFMU in my heart, but I don't think I can send you warm weather over the continent

9:06am Andrew Waterloo:

Good morning

9:06am Jeff Golick:

I can hear ya talkin at me.

9:07am d¢ pät:

ALAN!

9:07am Webhamster Henry:

Hi Doug - checking in from work!

9:08am Paul:

Load and clear thru the app!

9:09am Webhamster Henry:

It looks like Mr. Ginsberg has a little splicing glue on his last frame!

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

It's taking forever for my playlist song/artist info and my comments to load on my web pages. Apologies for the delay and confusion.

9:16am Webhamster Henry:

At least you don't have a diastracting animated gif to post on every line!

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, d¢ pät!

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Good day, Paul!

@Webhamster Henry
Are you listening from your new job?!

9:19am Rich in Washington:

I recently picked up a Mohd Rafi CD for a mere pittance at the Indian grocer but it was all religious/devotional music -- rather than his film music work. That's what I get for being a cheapskate.
Hola, Doug, fellow Drummerites!

9:20am Webhamster Henry:

@Doug I am! I may have to do some work or duck out and go to a meeting from time to time.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Hola, Cheapskae Rich!

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
If you have to dash, leave the radio on so the duck can listen.

9:24am Uncle Michael:

Good morning Dougfans.

9:27am Jesse K:

morning!

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Actually, Doug is short for Dougfans. Check my birth certificate.

9:28am Uncle Michael:

Does it list planet of origin?

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

At first, I thought the song title was Come on Baby, Dil DISCO Degi. Despite my error, it would have been appropriate.

Morning, Jesse K!

9:30am Uncle Michael:

Can the east side get any lower?

9:32am still b/p:

Dil Kisko, Kill Disco, you say potato, I say Pradesh.

Soul Train Scramble Board: Dougfans = snafu dog.
What do snafu dogs and gif poets do? Howl.

9:33am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:34am Gary:

Clearly I'm going to have to come back and listen to Indian set in the archives

9:34am Señor Andy:

Hello from eastern PA, youse guys

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

It'll be here waiting for you, Gary!

Buenos días, Señor Andy!

9:38am Webhamster Henry:

The archive is my friend! Speaking of which, a large passel of archives from the Real Audio days had been converted for your modern listening needs, so you can get more than a decade of Drummer Some and lots and lots of other WFMU shows.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, still b/p! Almost missed ya.

9:44am still b/p:

Namaste, namissedme.

9:45am Michael:

Gosh, loved that Carol Johnson. Hi Doug and everyone.

9:45am Webhamster Henry:

I hope this doesn't portend a visit from Tennesee Birdwalk.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Michael! (Carol told me to say that.)

9:48am AndrewC.:

I don't understand Merv! Should I protest or not?!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@AndrewC
I had to listen to this three times last night to figure that out. I believe Merv is coming out PRO protest, not con.

9:49am Uncle Michael:

TOM T!

🥁

9:49am duke:

Sounds like Merv is protesting

9:50am AndrewC.:

When the archives come out I'll let you know if I agree :)

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
You, like me, are a big blubbery adorer of Tom T.

9:51am Webhamster Henry:

Du bist ein bissel high!

9:51am Uncle Michael:

I am. It's true.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Easy for you to say, Webhamster Henry.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Breathy Bobbie = priceless

9:56am still b/p:

You ain't just bisselin' Dixie 'bout Bobby gettin' close and personal. Mm.

9:57am Webhamster Henry:

No more 78 RPM records?

9:58am Shaun:

Ah, Sunshine! Namaste Doug and the best listeners of my generation.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

Shaun is here! Hey, Shaun is here!

10:03am Shaun:

Is it the gun lobby that object to importing switchblades?

10:04am doca:

Trio X!

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

Wrong kinda killin', eh Shaun?

10:05am Jeff Golick:

Lotta spirit came out of that Spirit Room.

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Boy you're not kidding, Jeff Golick. How many live records do you have performed at that place? 10,000 or something?

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

FREE TRANSLATION:

Smonta Tutto = Dismantles All
Piovono Bici = Rain Bike
Bis Azul = Bis Azul (something blue?)

10:13am Andy S.:

Checking in with Drummer from North Hollywood CA -- rather a nicer place than Brooklyn Heights in which to spend the month of January.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Brooklyn Heights' loss is North Hollywood's gain, Andy S. Thanks for getting up early!

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Joining drummer Goku on this duet is trumpeter Jiro Shoda.

🥁

10:17am Artie Haywire:

Meditating on the idea that this is an alternate-universe composition of 'Summertime'.

10:18am Flash Strap:

The cotton is high, all right

🥁

10:20am Artie Haywire:

To say nothing of Mama

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Artie Haywire!

And, making a triumphant entrance: it's FLASH STRAP!

10:21am still b/p:

Chesire Catfish are jumpin'...

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Flash Strap
I was just thinking that the Smonta Tutto track I just played would've gone nicely on your show last night. Lots of ambient, insect-like sounds at the end there.

10:23am Flash Strap:

oh man, i just missed that one. i tuned in at the beginning of duet. I'll have to hit the archives - I'm a sucker for any inclusion of field sounds or fake animals

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
...And the living is easy.

10:24am Jeff Golick:

Allen, baby, why so speedy?

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
You want slow Alan? I'll give you slow Alan.

10:27am Jeff Golick:

::bows::

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Flash Strap
I'm a huge fake animal sounds nut, too! I once did a WFMU marathon premium (back when we did cassettes and not CDs) of nothing but. Maybe I'll revive that one! Thanks for the idea, Flash Strap!

10:31am Flash Strap:

oo I'd like to hear that

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

There are some insects on this World Standard number! Hear 'em?!

10:39am Flash Strap:

mmmmm hmm

10:40am Holly in NC:

Good Morning Doug & friends!

10:40am Spaniel:

One of my favorite animal sound songs, I think I heard this here, several years ago: www.youtube.com...

10:41am Steve:

It's High "Wick 'em"!

10:41am Flash Strap:

Spaniel- The harmonies on that track are haunting

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings:

Holly in NC! / Spaniel! / Steve!

@Spaniel
If I had any guts, I'd click on your link (it would go out over the air, you see). But guts I have none.

10:45am Flash Strap:

hate to leave you all so soon, but the skeleton claw of work beckons me hither well against my will, and once again i must grind my life off in bits as the filings fall forlornly into the famished fire. See you next time, friends

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

I prefer to think of it as one of those carnival grab-a-toy claws, Flash Strap. Then the machine gets stuck with you suspended in mid-air.

🥁

10:48am Artie Haywire:

Belt sander works for me. Macrodermabrasion?

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

The archive isn't up yet for Flash Strap's magnificent debut of Explorers Room, last night on the Drummer Stream. But when it does go up, it'll be here: wfmu.org...

10:49am Spaniel:

hey, Flash Strap, see you in the archives!

Interesting, just reading about Kostas Bezos, " He recorded both traditional rebetika songs and in Hawaiian style." Apparently, there was a lot of Greek emigration to Hawaii: en.wikipedia.org...

10:50am Parq:

Hi gang. Been listening for a while but just now getting on the keyboard. Excuse me if I'm covering old ground, but that gif of Ginsberg -- this doesn't have anything to do with the passing of Al Bendich, does it?

10:52am Jesse K:

this is lovely

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Parq! If I were a smarter lad, I was say why yes, yes of course. RIP Al Bendich.

@Spaniel
Kostas Bezos has that fabulous track on the Steeling 'Round the World comp.

@Artie Haywire
I love the early stuff by Macrodermabrasion. Before they sold out.

10:54am Uncle Michael:

Brij got me through my bike ride. (pant, pant) <- pair of pants.

10:56am quinn:

so gooood, this show

10:56am Mike East:

nice pants, Uncle Michael.
Good morning Doug and friends.

10:57am still b/p:

Streets not icy/messy or narrowed by snowbanks, UM?

10:57am Spaniel:

@doug - just checked that collection out looks really interesting, didn't know that Hawaiian music had such international popularity

10:58am Uncle Michael:

I rode in my basement, still b/p. The ice was manageable.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you climbed aboard, quinn! Nothing but first-class in this cabin.

And you can sit anywhere, Mike East. Hell, come on up and check out the cockpit.

10:59am Uncle Michael:

Tragic news from my father. As of 2015, Royal Copenhagen has discontinued the production of their annual, commemorative mugs.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
The ice in your highball, no doubt. Hey, no drinking and cycling!!

11:00am still b/p:

And all the truck-drivers courteous and at reasonable cellar speeds?

11:01am Uncle Michael:

I almost got run off onto the futon a couple of times.

11:09am Alex In Illinois:

Monkeys DO smash plates and things.

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
Good thing I don't live in Monkey Hill. Who knows what kind of trouble my dog would get into.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

I guess if you ask the question voulez-vouz coucher avec moi, you'd want to get the Green Light.

11:21am Andrew Waterloo:

I'm not sure why'd I want a green light when I'm looking for nookie.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

First you get the green light, then you hang up the red light. It's very simple, Andrew Waterloo.

11:27am Lewis:

did the bowing man speed up…?

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

I can slow him down, if you like, Lewis. I have the power.

11:34am Lewis:

I am torn - I kind of liked him responding to the beat

11:36am Mr C:

Give the Drummer Some stable of stars...!

11:36am Holly in NC:

Shtiggy = word of the day

🥁

11:37am duke:

Shtiggy Boom is like Diddy-wah-diddy. What does it mean?

11:38am Mike East:

don't know, but it makes my smile...shtiggy boom...hehehe.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Mr. C! Say hi to Andy S for us!

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

All I know is, Patti can boom my shtiggy any day of the week.

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

And now, the greatest stage name in music: Lonesome Sundown

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

"Lonesome Sundown," née Cornelius Green

11:44am Mr C:

Boston Blues courtesy Skippy White...yeah

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Can we have a vote for the final gif that will live in infamy: Fast Alan ...or... Slow Alan

11:46am Uncle Michael:

I could make you an alternating fast/slow Alan.

11:46am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug, and those either drumming or being drummed upon.

11:47am Uncle Michael:

What is the sound of one hand drumming?

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael has put down the barbells and is all oiled up for Hinky Dinky Time here on the Drummer Stream.He promises to hose down the equipment if you care to join him. Show begins in 13 minutes: wfmu.org...

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you finally woke up, Carmichael. Here, have some espresso.

11:50am Mr C:

Shakin hands with the Judge

11:50am Mr C:

Dirty work goin on

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

I never been to Skippy White's. Does that make me a bad man? (Don't bother. I know the answer.)

11:52am Uncle Michael:

I'm glad Doug remembered to post my link!

11:52am Carmichael:

Our office was decimated by this recent fluey, coldy thing going around. I just made it in today, and I'm pretty much alone here.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

You forgot to remember to remind me not to forget, Uncle Michael.

@Carmichael
Just don't inhale and you'll be okay.

11:53am Jeff Golick:

Sounds very Hi.

11:54am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

Has it started. Oh bugger.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Say Hi to the blues, Jeff Golick. No Willie Mitchell here, however.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Best. Jimmy. Cliff. Cover. Ever?

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Best b-side, for sure.

11:56am Jeff Golick:

Where'd I hear this...that to become a Raelette, you had to "let Ray." :big elbow nudge here:

11:57am Mr C:

little milton cover of this on checker pretty good too

11:57am Shaun:

If you can't dance now...

11:57am Webhamster Henry:

This song makes me think of John Lennon and Harry Nillson screaming their throats out.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

I'll do a private re-play for you, Brian in UK. You're worth it.

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

Hey Shaun, how's it hanging?

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, and happy birthday, ndbob!

11:57am Carmichael:

Just like Bill Clinton, Doug! As for our governor Jerry Brown, he didn't EXhale.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

I'll see you all in the next room!

Great show today, Doug. Thanks.

11:58am Gary:

Sweet version of this!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
Now THAT'S funny.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

If there was a God, this song wouldn't end...

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

...there is no God.

11:59am Shaun:

Copacetic, cheers Brian. How you?

🥁

11:59am duke:

Thanks Sir Doug. Great show, especially liked the last soul set,

🥁

12:00pm Brian in UK:

There is a dog.

Shaun I loves copacetic too.Double and raise you.

12:01pm Shaun:

I'd have let Ray kiss me if I could sing like that.

12:01pm Alex In Illinois:

It's over already!? Without this show, Friday mornings would be way too slow.

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Executive Decision: I'm going with Fast Alan.

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

You gals and guys are very best. Thanks for bending your ears toward musical justice with me!
