Listener comments!

8:48am Gary:

Jimi, why don''t you take over?

8:50am Jimi:

That is my plan, Gary. That has always been my plan.

8:51am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:52am Gary:

What is this awesome Asha? Lata? track you're playing right now?

🥁

8:53am duke:

Will Jimi set the violin on fire?
Good morning Doug and Drummers

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Vani Jairam is singing with music by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja.

Good morning, ndbob!

@duke
Jimi will set the radio on fire. Like always.

🥁

8:58am bobdc:

Once again, an animated GIF that will take on new meaning with each song you play.

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
This is your brain. This is your brain on Give the Drummer Some.

9:03am Maricôt:

Good morning, everyone

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Great to see you, Maricôt!

9:06am Gary:

Thanks, Doug!

9:07am Peter Nelson:

Oh yes...take me to Hawaii!!!!

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

It's a done deal, Peter Nelson! I hope you've had your shots!

9:11am Peter Nelson:

Rabies, distemper...the lot.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Some audio poi for the hoi polloi!

9:12am Sarah N:

Me too - I'm there hawa''aiiiieeeee

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Sarah with listening!

9:15am Sarah N:

Hello Duggles! Jimi fiddles while his guitar burns....ha ha

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Sarah N
You are now, officially, the only person on the planet allowed to call me Duggles.

9:18am Sarah N:

What a bloody honour sir!

9:20am Jeff g.:

Aloha. Someone had to say it.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Use your powers wisely, Sarah.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Mahalo, Jeff G!

9:22am dave:

Groove on!

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

dave!

9:25am dave:

Wait, I think I ascertain a theme here...

🥁

9:26am bobdc:

The King of Rock and Roll had plenty of offerings that would fit into this set's theme.

9:30am still b/p:

Good morning.
Hawaiian music, seemingly of the shmaltzy variety, on vinyl is encountered with a curious regularity in the thrift store piles. Explain.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

If I had any guts, I'd be cueing up some Fat Elvis right about now, bobdc.

@still b/p
Apply a little baking soda and seltzer and the schmaltz comes right out.

9:34am Peter Nelson:

Elvis Costello?

9:35am Cecile:

Doug, seeing this little mention of Hawaii, do you have any Samoan or Maori choral singing. it's really beautiful.

🥁

9:35am bobdc:

There's some good skinny Elvis stuff from Hawaii, too. He did a great concert there in 1961 right after the army where Boots Randolph is playing some totally out shit with him. elvispresleyphotos.com... has some nice history and pictures.

9:36am ausmanx:

any mention of Maori and it's time for me to jump in and say hello all. tonight's episodes are actually set in Samoa too. goodness, that place looks kind of nice...

9:37am Cecile:

sbp, sometimes there is good stuff buried in those records.

What episodes, aumanx?

9:39am ausmanx:

it's a fishing program made for Maori television, cecile. 30 bloody episodes, most of it in Maori (though the eps where they spoke Rapanui are proving tricky to find a translator for!). they can be pretty brutal with their sea creatures!

9:40am Cecile:

Nice!

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome, ausmanx! Greetings, Cecile!

9:42am Cecile:

The Maori media are pretty cool. I have been following them because of my Taika Waititi/Jemaine Clement obsession. but fortunately, my Maori is limited to "kia ora". I have a habit of taking things too far.

9:42am Cecile:

hi, Dugal.

9:43am Cecile:

But I love fishing, even vicariously. I might have to learn Maori after all.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Here, friends, is a sarawakian sape: lh5.ggpht.com...

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
Did I just read "Boots Randolph" and "some totally out shit" in the same sentence?!?

9:46am Cecile:

I looked it up, ausmanx. It looks really cool.

9:46am Alex In Illinois:

My Maori is limited to Vaka, Whare and Aotearoa. Maybe I will recognize a few other words.

9:47am Cecile:

Oh, I know Autearoa, and haka, too.

9:48am Cecile:

that is a beautiful instrument!

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
There Something About Maori.

9:49am Alex In Illinois:

Haka, the Dance! Or is it a song?
@Daug: HEHEHEH!

9:49am still b/p:

Tuesdays With Morrie, Fridays With Maori.

9:50am Cecile:

It can be a dance, chant, song or warrior pose as I understand it.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Fridays With Maori! Funny!

9:52am ausmanx:

haka's the tribal dance the NZ rugby team does before a game to intimidate the opponents, a great tradition. biggest sporting controversy in Oz this year was when an indigenous player celebrated a goal by mimicking a spear throwing dance and white Australians were intimidated. the kiwis have been doing it for years!

9:53am lucyinbrooklyn:

good morning!
Fridays with Doug

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
Speaking of intimidating, have you seen those striking portraits of the Mighty Mongrels bikers: www.vice.com...

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning to you, lucyinbrooklyn!

9:55am Cecile:

those are amazing, Doug.

🥁

9:56am bobdc:

Elvis does some blues thing where you could say that in Boots' solo he ventures further away from traditional scales. I'll try to find a link to send you. Out shit for the teenage girls who were listening, anyway.

9:56am Cecile:

really, ausmanx? that just seems silly. in some rugby matches between indigenous Aussie teams and the NZ All-blacks they take turns doing their dances.

9:57am Cecile:

Same with the Samoan teams.

9:57am Alex In Illinois:

What about the bird called a Kiwi? Are those birds dangerous, or vicious or violently defensive like geese or swans? (Swans actually kill people).

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
"Out Shit for Teenage Girls" was my second choice for my radio show name!

10:00am Cecile:

kiwis are pretty mild-mannered.

10:00am ausmanx:

cecile, it was completely pathetic, and the clearest demonstration that white Australia is totally uncomprehending of indigenous culture (the player in question was Australian of the Year 2 years earlier!). those photos are pretty good, doug... maori tattoos are genuinely scary. kiwis are pussycats, alex... NZ did have the Moa thought, that was one mean bird (extinct now though, like lots of NZ creatures)

10:01am ndbob:

.. and waiting for today's Supreme Court decisions

10:02am ndbob:

Holding: Fourteenth Amendment requires a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex.

10:02am ndbob:

details coming
opinion by Kennedy

10:03am Alex In Illinois:

I hope kiwis are not too defenseless. It is a good thing they are not extinct. I read of one Polynesian bird that was rendered extinct by one lighthouse keeper's cat.

10:03am Cecile:

crazy. My dad used to go drink in an indigenous bar after work sometimes, and he's say he'd often be the only white guy in there. They treated him great. then again, he was a pro barfly for a lotta years.

hey, adorable and important white kiwi chicks:
www.stuff.co.nz...

10:03am ndbob:

5-4 Kennedy votes with majority

10:04am mauri:

happy weekend start doug and everyone!

10:04am ndbob:

it does Doug - Kennedy reading opinion now

10:04am Cecile:

NZ is actually trying to have no new kitties born in the country. they are killing all the birds.

Kiwis are highly protected.

🥁

10:05am bobdc:

I found it at www.youtube.com... Boots' solo starts at 1:41. More on the yakkety side than the Ornette side, but still pretty great, especially his second chorus.

10:05am Cecile:

it's their bald eagle.

10:05am ndbob:

@cecile I've read a bit about mammal control in NZ

10:07am ndbob:

if anyone wants to bookmark this - here it is www.supremecourt.gov...

10:07am Cecile:

yayayayayay! it's our pride week here in Mpls. that's awesome

10:08am Peter Nelson:

Cats....cute psychopaths.

10:08am ausmanx:

yep, they\re trying some pretty radical stuff in NZ. we have the same problem with cats here in Australia (they reckon there are 20 million feral cats here, and they're estimated to kill three native animals PER DAY). Canberra has already banned people who own cats from allowing them outside their houses.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

Wow. What a 24 hours for the High Court. I should break in with some Supremes or something. I am elated.

THANK YOU, ndbob, for breaking the news!!!

10:09am Listener Gregory:

Doug, what is the meaning of the title of this song, "Jappa"? Surely there is a story here.

10:10am Cecile:

did anyone see Inside Out? I recommend it, even though the ads make it seem goofy. It's a small aside, but their analysis of the feline brain is hilarious.

🥁

10:10am βrian:

Yay, indeed. A rare week of sanity.

🥁

10:12am βrian:

I, for one, do my cat's bidding. It is my destiny.

10:13am ndbob:

@Doug yw - I was super pleased with the ACA decision - I was a little nervous - paticularly since I have ACA coverage - I called it right at 6-3 - what surprised me though was the strength of the majority opinion - I feared a narrower ruling that would have based it on the discretion given to the IRS - but that didn't happen .

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Hello βrian of the Isthmus!

@Listener Gregory
I do not know the story of Jappa. I will happily spend hours searching for it.

10:16am Jeff Golick:

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Pianist, please? Herbie?

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Herbie is indeed pounding the keys.

10:18am Jeff Golick:

@Cecile: I dropped two 11-year-old girls off at Inside Out, and regret not going in. On the flip side, I did get to walk Court St. (Brooklyn's High Street, of a sort) with my wife for a couple of hours.

10:20am Cecile:

that's still awesome, Jeff. But you should see it. It is kind of amazing and revelatory in its way.

10:21am Uncle Michael:

So, which one'a youse guys wants to marry me?

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Court Street in Brooklyn. Just made me homesick.

@Uncle Michael
We have a civil Friday union.

10:22am Cecile:

wait, aren't you already married, Unca? Bigamy wasn't legalized!

10:23am still b/p:

I think Jimi's playing the wedding march on that fiddle.

10:23am Kurt Gottschalk:

love for lester

🥁

10:23am βrian:

Now, that just hurts.

10:24am Uncle Michael:

I'm preparing for the forced same-sex wedding someone told me I'm going to have to have. I figure it's better to get out in front of this thing and you lot seem like pretty good blokes.

10:24am Jeff Golick:

If it makes you feel any better, Doug, due to a colossal failure of imagination and native knowledge, we went to a Starbucks.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Big love for Kurt Gottschalk's love for Ornette: wfmu.org...

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
That is just embarrassing and yes it makes me feel MUCH better!

10:26am Kurt Gottschalk:

aw, thanks doug. and thanks for the opportunity.

10:26am Peter Nelson:

Is this being played by a cat?

10:26am Jeff Golick:

^^^ seconding what Doug said re Kurt.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

A "cool" cat, Peter Nelson. The coolest.

10:27am Cecile:

yes, a jazz cat.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Kurt, wanna fill in for me on July 10?

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

It's like I just proposed to you in public.

10:29am Uncle Michael:

I gotta get on the highway. Loving the show, Doug.

Stick around for Mike Sin later.

You're all invited to all of my weddings. Mazel Tov, America.

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

Did Scalia really call today's ruling a "judicial Putsch"? Jesus, what an awful piece of shit.

Drive safe, Uncle M!

10:35am Kurt Gottschalk:

doug, sure!

10:36am Polyus:

The comments of both Roberts and Scalia are really unfortunate. I dunno why I expected any different.

10:36am ndbob:

it's amusing to read Scalia's rants when he's on the losing side

10:39am Polyus:

Maybe they just wanted to make the Fox crowd feel better, esp the remark about this having nothing to do with the Constitution? Very boilerplate red meat stuff.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

More Kurt = a more beautiful world!

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Polyus!

10:41am ausmanx:

well, we have a government which is seeking the right to withdraw citizenship without judicial review. sometimes even the US can look liberal compared to our current crop. and cop this for a front page just because the public broadcaster allowed a radical muslim on a current affairs show... thenewdaily.com.au...

10:41am Cecile:

the "this is a court, not a legislature" I can understand. The "putsch" stuff is just being a sore loser.

10:42am Cecile:

WOW, ausmanx.

🥁

10:43am Artie Haywire:

Spinning dances today

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Yowza, Artie Haywire!

10:44am still b/p:

"Supremely Pissed Putz Pouts With 'Putsch" Pejorative"

10:44am Dean:

And in other news the Pope suggests that sometimes marital separation can be "morally necessary." Dissent from that, Scalia!

10:45am ausmanx:

this BLUES SENSATION set is a wonderful thing i assume i first heard here a while back and had to buy. but i must ask you to correct the spelling to Corinne, Doug, as it's my partner's name!

10:45am Cecile:

I keep liking this Pope more and more.

10:46am Nate K:

Great set, Doug.

10:46am Polyus:

Hiya Doug. Scalia seems to be sounding that "these aren't even real Americans" note wrt the majority. I can hear so much of what the two Justices wrote being repeated by GOP candidates in the coming months, even if they don't know what most of it means.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for keeping me honest, ausmanx!

Nate the K is here!

And welcome welcome, Dean!

10:52am ausmanx:

enough maori, evening all, 1 am here, see youse next week. send us your chief justice

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

G'night, ausmanx. My best to Corinne... and Corrine!

10:53am Polyus:

Keef!

10:54am Mike East:

Hello Blue Friday

10:54am Nate K:

I love this Feathers/Kimbrough stuff. I wish there was more. I only know of the stuff on the Fahey 2-dic set.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

If Mike East is the best, is Mike West the beast?

🥁

11:00am Artie Haywire:

All Feathers, all the time. Most facile voice.

11:01am Mike East:

my antithesis is actually a woman named Samantha West and she is coming out with a record soon, hopefully. I'll send along when she does...she is a beast for sure.

🥁

11:02am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug.
STAND UP IF YOU ARE LEFT-HANDED. I AM WITH JAMES MARSHALL HENDRIX.

11:04am Dean:

Can I just state for the record that "My Favorite Things" is one of my least favorite things?

11:06am Mike East:

how ironic, Dean

11:09am Jesse K:

That's 35 hours a week of live programming! Crazytown!

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for making it crazier, Jesse K!

You can state that, Dean, but the state has to be Rhode Island. Sorry.

11:11am Jesse K:

Newport, Rhode Island. specifically 1963

11:13am Dean:

I hear you. Me and the horse I Rhode Island.

Phil Austin on his talent, from the NYT obit: “I got a job in a radio station because I could always do that with my voice — could make you believe that I was committed to the words coming out of my mouth. I mistakenly believed, therefore, that I was an actor. I’m not. I’m a musician. Interesting that it was the sounds of the words that got to me most. The Firesign Theater was the vehicle that allowed me to make that discovery.”

🥁

11:15am Brian in UK:

Antelope Freeway one mile.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Way better than riding in on a hearse.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Did I say hello, Brian in UK?! Helloooo!

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

The last half hour of the show is going to be intense. Go have a quick pee. You won't want to miss it

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

That last comment was intended for me.

11:21am Dean:

A hearse would be more reliable than the car we currently operate. I learned yesterday, though, that our car repair shop also services Duane Allman's daughter's car! She gave them a copy of her memoir about the loss of her father.

11:29am Goyim in the AM:

Been listening for at least an hour and haven't said hi yet. Hi!!

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Goyim is joyim!

11:38am Nate K:

This Jackie Russell song is gorgeous.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

More gorgeous to come, Nate K!

11:44am Goyim in the AM:

aw man, give THIS drummer some.

11:44am Listener Gregory:

I find Unidentified's work to be very mixed, but this is one of her best pieces.

11:46am Nate K:

Alvin Robinson! (this is like a reworking of "Something You Got")

11:47am Nate K:

Oh, wait, I get it...

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Uni Dentified. It sounds like oral surgery.

@Nate K
Indeed! Read here: redkelly.blogspot.com...

🥁

11:54am βrian:

"SCOTUS finally discovers cilantro tastes really good."

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

It took all my strength NOT play the Notations' "I'm Still Here" again. One of the greatest soul songs ever.

11:55am northguineahills:

I've spent so long reading up on today's decision, I forgot to say hi to everyone, Hallo!

11:55am Holly in NC:

Oh No0, I AM late!!!!!!!! Hello, everyone!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Holly! I saved the best for last!

NGH!

🥁

11:56am JtotheK:

hi everybody! always enjoy hearing Notations...thanks!

11:57am ndbob:

heya Holly! and excellent show Doug!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Scalia would make cilantro mandatory. What a prick.

So so great, JtotheK!

12:01pm Jesse K:

thanks Doug!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Jesse K and everyone!
