9:27am Doug Schulkind:

I see I have stunned you to silence. Well, maybe Terry Earl had something to do with it. I am stunned too, friends.

9:30am Uncle Michael:

Good morning drummers.

🥁

9:30am listener james from westwood:

Argh! Got back from the gym just after the Laura Veirs cut!

🥁

9:33am listener james from westwood:

BTW, that harpist on Facebook wouldn't happen to be a certain Marx Brother, now, would it?

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Aghy barghy, Listener James from Westwood!

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner! Tis indeed the second greatest Marxist, Harpo!

9:36am listener james from westwood:

9:37am Maricôt:

Good morning! I loved being received by Tito Puente <3

🥁

9:37am listener james from westwood:

Pirimpimpin ain't easy.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Sarah N and Maricôt!

🥁

9:43am βrian:

There are stirrings on the isthmus. Good morning.

9:44am Jeff Golick:

Here, and waiting for that cymbal crash.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

This show comes no stirrings attached, βrian! Greets to you, Jeff Golick!

9:46am ausmanx:

9:49am Sarah N:

Fan-bloody-tastic.

9:50am Sarah N:

A hat tip to ole Rakkers aka Rachmaninov...???

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

I hope you have a Maori old time in London (cough), ausmanx!

@Sarah N
I believe Bobby Cruz namechecked Stravinsky!

9:51am Mr C:

In lived in the Bronx in the Summer 0f '71, this music poured from the streets, the stores, posters...omnipresent. Freeh to a boy from Philadelphia. Subway Joe

9:51am Sarah N:

Ahhhhaaaa ole Stravverrs.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

What an atmospheric comment, Mr C!

🥁

9:54am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, was that an oblique Dorothy Parker reference?

9:55am Peter Nelson:

I think Rachmaminov and possibly Chopin quoted in there.

🥁

9:55am Brian in UK:

We are promised a month of rain in a day today. Yipee.

🥁

9:57am βrian:

@BUK: The gods are angry?

🥁

9:57am Brian in UK:

The dogs are hungry.

🥁

9:57am bobdc:

Love me some new advanced jazz.

9:57am Uncle Michael:

The gods think they're funny.

9:58am Peter Nelson:

We do need the rain here. The gods are pleased.

🥁

9:58am listener james from westwood:

The dogs must be crazy!

9:58am still b/p:

Who let the gods out?

9:58am Uncle Michael:

Richard Pryor must be god!

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Brian in UK, hey!
bobdc, wee!
Uncle Michael, w00t!
still b/p, snazzy!
Richard Pryor, genius!

🥁

10:00am Brian in UK:

When I meet any of those gods I am going to give them a piece om my mind. One of those grey bits at the front that the leucotomy missed.

🥁

10:01am βrian:

@BUK: Be careful, HE may tell you you've been chosen to run as a GOP presidential candidate.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

True story: I was so disgusted watching The Gods Must Be Crazy that I stood up in the theater during the screening and yelled at the screen.

[People standing up and doing things in movie theaters is a really scary as shit thing. Unfortunately, a well loved young musician, Jillian Johnson, was one of those killed in Lafayette, LA, last night.)

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Everyone, meet Valdo. Valdo, meet everyone: www.collectorsfrenzy.com.s3.amazonaws.com...

10:12am Gary:

Now the robot wants some, too?

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Robot wants love, Gary. Must have love.

10:15am Gary:

Holy Sh*t, that's terrible about Jillian Johnson

10:19am Jesse K:

Morning everyone! Marty's playing Bollywood on the mainstream and I got confused what room I was in. These hallways all look the same.

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Jesse K
Bollywood? I'm outta here!

10:23am Jeff Golick:

Is there a more readily identifiable jazz sound than Monk at the piano?

10:23am Jesse K:

well, Bollywood for now. Think it was Kollywood earlier

10:23am Jeff Golick:

A: No.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Now we're in Thelonnywood.

🥁

10:25am βrian:

I imagine there has to be a Gollywood by now. Can't imagine where.

🥁

10:25am Brian in UK:

@Jeff Golick. Duke, if I may be so bold?

🥁

10:26am βrian:

Follywood, Jollywood, Mollywood ...

🥁

10:26am Brian in UK:

Dolly would.

🥁

10:28am Brian in UK:

That was delicious.

10:30am Gary:

Peter = awesome

🥁

10:32am βrian:

Cuneiform records. They go through needles at an alarming rate.

10:34am Jeff Golick:

Possibly Duke...possibly Miles' mute? But for me, I'd get Monk in fewer notes, I'd wager.

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

You can recognize Monk in the half-beat of silence before the first note. No one used silence like he did.

🥁

10:42am βrian:

Well, there's Mr. Cage, of course.

10:44am Peter Nelson:

re. Remembering Mountains, I thought it a quite staggeringly inept tribute album to a wonderful singer. Diane Cluck the only one to do her justice.

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

But how do you really feel, Peter Nelson?

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Good point, βrian.

10:47am still b/p:

Cuneiform records featured on Give the Drummer Sumerian.

10:47am Peter Nelson:

Never hold back!!!!
Really, though, that album made me feel quite angry. I adore Karen Dalton, and I thought most of the stuff on it was cheesy commercial shite.

10:48am Peter Nelson:

@ Gary....cheers!

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Cuneiform is a sacred text factory.

@Peter Nelson
I rather appreciated how many of the tracks on Remembering Mountains played completely against type. The tracks that fail for me are the ones where the vocalists try to sound like or evoke Dalton. And I am a Sweet Mother K.D. adorer of top-rank.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Cheesy commercial shite can be deep and lovely in spite of itself (not that the CCS on Remembering Mountains reaches that depth, of course).

10:53am Jeff Golick:

To quote Seinfeld: What is this salty discharge?

10:54am Peter Nelson:

I'll be playing Cluck's tune on Tuesday....already had it playlisted, in fact.
She's about as nuts as Dalton, I reckon.

10:55am Sarah N:

Iym enjwying thys vwry muych.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Do love the Cluck tune. Dan Bodah had her live on his show back in 2012: wfmu.org...

🥁

10:56am Brian in UK:

Doug, If the good lady wife were present she could give you a translation for Mr Stevens.

10:57am Peter Nelson:

re Cluck on Bodah;I'll check that out...after your show...er, no...after Uncle Mick.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

I would go for a pronunciation of "Disgwyl Rhywbeth Gwell I Ddod," Brian in UK.

🥁

10:59am βrian:

Someone must have cornered the Welsh market on vowels early on.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Vwls?

11:00am Alex In Illinois:

I've been listening since the start. I have to attend a meeting now.

🥁

11:01am βrian:

Happy harmoniums, Alex. (Harmonia?)

11:01am Listener Scott:

I'll often hear a song I want to favorite and scramble to get to the page to favorite it before it runs out, as if I'd miss the opportunity otherwise. I must be pre-conditioned from the time when I'd scramble to hit PLAY & RECORD on my hitachi mini boom box back in the day.

🥁

11:01am Brian in UK:

dd is th. That's the best I can do.

🥁

11:05am Brian in UK:

Doug, have I been missing Ducky on the bed.

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

HiBye, Alex in Illinois! Do vegetarians go to meetings?

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Scott
I'm starting a band called Hitachi Mini Boom. Are you in?!

11:09am Gary:

Tremendous track here

🥁

11:11am βrian:

Is this Wolof, do you know?

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Yes it is, βrian.

@Gary
It's only going to get tremendouser. So be careful.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Ducky you shall have...

11:15am Mike East:

nice wah-tery guitar. morning drummers

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Wah-wah ter you talking about, Mike East?

11:19am Mike East:

my father's favorite line if you said "What?" to him, "Watt? What are you a light bulb?"

11:22am Listener Scott:

I'm all in Doug. We gonna lower the mini boom.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Dad Humor® is the best humor.

@Listener Scott
Our first single of the LP "Hibachi Hitachi"

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

There is a bizarre and wonderful version of "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" on the Hot Casa reissue of this Roger Damawuzan material.

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

@Mike East on The Goon Show there was a joke 'What, what, what, what, what'. 'Only five whats you're not very bright'.

11:33am Mike East:

nice one, Brian

🥁

11:33am Brian in UK:

YIPEEEE. Thanks Doug.

11:35am Jeff Golick:

This is great talk-over music.

11:35am still b/p:

JULES
What country you from!

BRETT

JULES
"What" ain't no country I know! Do

BRETT

....

JULES
Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What"
again! I dare ya, I double dare ya
motherfucker, say "What" one more
goddamn time!

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

I made a loop of that Tough Tip track that lasts 20:31. Maybe I should just play the whole damn thing sometime.

11:38am Uncle Michael:

Please join me at the top of the hour, in the next room:

www.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

Doug, next time Hurricane Mabel calls.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Do what Uncle Michael says and no one will get hurt...

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Hurrican Mabel really blows.

🥁

11:42am βrian:

Will Uncle Michael be serving Pad Thai?

11:42am Sarah N:

❤️

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

♬=♥ indeed, Sarah N.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
What happens in Uncle Michael's pad stays in Uncle Michael's pad.

11:46am Sarah N:

This music makes me feel so emoticon! Aw. What font did you use there Doug for the ♬=♥ ?

🥁

11:47am βrian:

I was surprised to find that the official name for the character, ❤️, is "VARIATION SELECTOR-16"

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

I used a ♬, Sarah N!

11:49am Sarah N:

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

It's like ♨ for the ears.

🥁

11:53am βrian:

Hot springs eternal.
