9:17am Mr C:

At football games, everybody chants, "Ra-Ra-Ra.."

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Now if we could just get the crowd to sing in unison, "We travel the spaceways..."

🥁

9:21am duke:

Hello Drmmers

9:22am Jeff Golick:

Well, I like the looks of this...

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

duke hee Jeff Golick haw!

9:24am Gary:

I've always wondered what Selçuk is putting into his mouth on the cover of this single: cdn.discogs.com...

9:25am Jeff Golick:

Oh! Happy birthday to Adolphe Sax!

9:25am Jeff Golick:

@Gary: probably an umlaut.

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Disko Kebap: www.discogs.com...

🥁

9:32am listener james from westwood:

Don't eat an umlaut! It'll give you diaeresis!

9:35am Parq:

Gary, he's taking a Xanax. All that strong coffee. Hi all, and way to go on another bang-up fundraiser.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

'Allo there, Parq!

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Hey everybody, I am pretty darn sure that a pledge made this morning by our dear BRIAN IN UK is the pledge that put WFMU over the top. If and when Brian joins the comments board, please rise up in a chorus of thankyous!

9:49am Webhamster Henry:

@Ljfww: that's almost as grave as an accent acute - or as acute and an accent grave!

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

How come you're always so diacritical, Webhamster Henry?

🥁

9:53am listener james from westwood:

@Webhamster: Should I ever pen a copyediting memoir, I'm calling it The Acute and the Grave: Living with an Accent.

9:55am Parq:

I know a girl with a cute accent. I recognize that this isn't strictly on topic.

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

LJFW, did you read the memoir by the New Yorker's copyeditor Mary Norris?

9:59am Flash Strap:

Good Blorning

🥁

10:00am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug 'n folks.

As Eric Cantona once said "A cormorant is just a blackbird that lives by the sea" I think those words are as true today as when they were first jibbered.

10:02am Jeff Golick:

BIG THANKS, @Brian in UK!

10:02am David Herskovits:

Phew. I am so glad to hear that FMU is over the top--in every sense. That's why we love it.

10:02am Parq:

Doug, I know Mary Norris. She lives in my building. She's a great, down-to-earth person, and I've always enjoyed taking with her. She is quite pleasantly surprised at the extent to which her book has caught on, and she deserves all the success she's getting.

🥁

10:02am duke:

Leaf blower guy is now outside my window except he has some sort of vehicle and seems to be running over and over the same spot to pick up a half-dozen leaves

🥁

10:02am Brian in UK:

KEEP PLEDGING.

10:03am Mayuko:

HOORAY!!!

10:04am Mr C:

Met Jymie Merritt's son recently. Also a musician. Speaking of bass players..

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

And a gargantuan shove from you, David Herskovits, helped make it happen! #massivelygrateful

🥁

10:07am Brian in UK:

Doug, a friends' dad passed away yesterday; so what price anything?

🥁

10:07am Brian in UK:

Oh and it was on their birthday.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Mayuko's here! Hi Mayuko!

@parq
Wonderful! Tell Mary she is an inspiration!

@duke
The motherblower gets around.

@Brian in UK
Never stop!

10:09am Flash Strap:

Sorry to hear that Brian. That's too sad

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

What happened to a yardbroom and elbow grease to shift leaves?

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

My condolences, Brian. Like so many blown-around leaves, death swirls around us terribly.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

I find the act of raking pleasurable. The scrapey-scrapey sound; the crunchy-crunchy sound. Nice.

10:19am Flash Strap:

love this record so much

🥁

10:20am Brian in UK:

I loves kicking them up in the park. Must be dry weather. This rain is spoiling everything.

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Flash Strap
Oh, you say about all the records.

10:22am Stanley:

I awake from a half-hour in the chair.
Where were we?
Hey, Brian old bean, Mr Strap.

🥁

10:22am Brian in UK:

Oh well, better get another drenching and walk the dawg.
Doug, did I tell you that we now have two kittens added to the menagerie?

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Jymie was a Philly guy. You like your Philly guys!

🥁

10:23am Brian in UK:

Stanley, this is your day orf. Pay attention.

🥁

10:25am duke:

Raphe Malik, is a good addition to any track

10:25am Jeff Golick:

This Summit Conf is a great record.

10:26am Flash Strap:

I'm pathological, what can I say

Hi Stanley

🥁

10:26am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: I have it in house; it's in my to-be-read pile!

10:27am Jeff Golick:

BTW, speaking of the low end, there's a Henry Grimes 80th birthday party/celebration/concert happening tonight in NYC: home.nestor.minsk.by...

🥁

10:28am listener james from westwood:

@Brian in UK: Terribly sorry to hear of the loss and its timing. Seems doubly sad even though there's no "good" day for it.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Another trumpeter who died way too young.

@Flash Strap
And on some of those imports, you are Pathé logical.

10:28am Stanley:

But, but, Mr Brian, sir, can't an old man have a bit of quiet shut-eye on his day off?

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

I could take Tough Tip & Olinga any day of the week.

10:31am Stanley:

I imagine a game show for listeners entitled 'Who's bed is that?'

🥁

10:31am Brian in UK:

Stanley, I think some "artiste" has done that already.

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

Hey Stanley, just between us, I sure miss Bill on Saturdays.

10:36am Stanley:

Yeah. Saturdays have been just Saturdays the last year or so. Shame, we had a good little UK scene going on in our pyjamas.

🥁

10:36am Artie Haywire:

Two weeks of class are over, and I can finally enjoy a 3-hour DS (and HDT) in real time. Greetings, all.

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of class, it's Artie Haywire!

10:39am sinner:

This ain't no doo-wop. It's gospel.

🥁

10:39am Brian in UK:

Reminds me of that terrible joke.
The bell rang, I opened the door in my pyjamas.
Strange place to have a door.

Alright I'm going.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

The gospel according to... sinner!

10:41am Stanley:

Catch ya later Brian

10:42am George from Bristol UK:

Brian, W.C. Fields said "Throw the horse over the defence some hay".

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

As long as you don't have a bell in your pyjamas, Brian in UK.

10:43am George from Bristol UK:

ooops! Throw the horse over the fence some hay

10:44am Webhamster Henry:

Throw Mama from a train, a Kiss.

10:44am still b/p:

Had a little Marty time before Drummer time, starting when I first got to homepage and it told me he was playing Delfonics doing The Look Of Love. How could I not, citizens....how?

I have a couple days of substantial raking and burning coming up soon -- helping on someone else's property so I can rake a bit of fresh green into the wallet. Clothes gonna get smmmmmoky.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, George from Bristol, UK!

On top of ol' smoky b/p!

🥁

10:46am βrian:

Where is it legal to burn, anymore? Aside from prairie restoration, I mean.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
Just don't throw Mama from the salvation train. Not a good look.

10:48am ndbob:

lol Doug - and good one here!

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Extra credit for the "train sound" vocalizations on this number.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, it's a TWO OTIS set! Everyone gets a free upgrade to a large fries and soda with every TWO OTIS set!

10:51am Uncle Michael:

Good morning, most excellent GDTR listeners!

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

¡Hola, Tío Miguel!

10:53am Lane Gray:

Good morning, y'all!

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning "Express" Lane Gray!

10:57am still b/p:

My friend gets a burn permit from his town if conditions allow. He ain't way out in the country but outside of the jurisdictions where you just can't do it. He does have neighbors who aren't thrilled if breeze direction bathes houses and yards in the smoke.

11:03am Webhamster Henry:

I miss the smell of burning leaves. But it's apparently pretty bad on the carbon footprint scale, as well as being a general fire hazard.

11:03am Lane Gray:

I just now them one last time

11:05am Lane Gray:

Or mow. Stupid autocorrect

11:06am Dean:

I hear these lyrics: "Some want hot boardwalk" ...in that Saing Saing Maw. It's like that Zapp & Roger tune, "More Bounce to the Ounce." I coulda sworn they were singing, "Boardwalk through the Alps."

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
The tune that Saing Saing Maw was covering has been nagging me. Good morning, Sir!

@Lane Gray
Just go out and now your lawn right mow.

🥁

11:08am listener james from westwood:

How do, UM!

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

Burn Permit would be a good name for a radio show. Not as good as Stereo Typical, but pretty good.

🥁

11:12am listener james from westwood:

Habemus mascotus: Dusty the Chinchilla succeeds Muuro the dog for 2015–16 WFMU mascot! www.flickr.com...

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

NEW WFMU MASCOT!!!

Listener Robert's pet, Dusty the Chinchilla, is the new WFMU Mascot for the next year. Pictures sure to be forthcoming on the WFMU website. (Cute chinchilla alert!)

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Listener James from Westwood, fastest commenter in the West!!

11:13am Jeff Golick:

That's a damn cute chinchilla.

11:16am Webhamster Henry:

The good thing about Muuro was that she has a lot of great pix to remix with.! I guess we'll look at a humorous sign carrying chinchilla for a year.

🥁

11:16am listener james from westwood:

Honestly, that whole spread of pics is a public service. My building charges mad bux to keep pets, so proxy critters are my alternative.

11:17am Listener Gregory:

When Dusty's term is over, it can be made into WFMU ear muffs as swag. Just an idea.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Listener Gregory, the chinchilla killa!

11:19am northguineahills:

Funny, that Los Quantos track sounded Vietnamese at first, and you segue into a Vietnamese track.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

It is all predetermined, northguineahills. Even I have no control over it.

11:23am still b/p:

Remember the video of Michael Jackson and an army of furries dancing, "Chinchillaaaa!....Chinchilla tonight"...?

11:23am Stanley:

Go Dusty!

11:23am Parq:

Congrats to Dusty. He's what every advertising-agency secretary and executive assistant in the mid 60s used to dream of -- a genuine full-length Chinchilla.

11:25am Dusty:

Full-length, indeed.

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Is that the joke you shave your beard off in winter and you get a ......

🥁

11:34am Brian in UK:

Excuse my ignorance but what is a chinchilla?

11:35am Alex In Illinois:

@Brian in UK: A type of Andean squirrel

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Andean in Illinois!

11:37am Alex In Illinois:

@Brian in UK: You have squirrels in UK, right? The Chinchillas are puffier than a squirrels and are sometimes pets I the U.S. and sometimes used for fur.

🥁

11:37am Brian in UK:

Thanks Alex.
Dusty needs to sort out those critters in the loftspace at Montgomery Street. Distant cousins.

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

Alex we have good (Red) and bad (Grey)

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Hinky Dusty Time is up next with Uncle Michael! Tune in and get your dusty ya-yas out!

Playlist: wfmu.org...

11:38am Uncle Michael:

Everyone's invited to my place after Doug kicks us out.

wfmu.org...

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Hahaha, I finally beat you Michael!

11:39am Uncle Michael:

Curse you Red Squirrel!

🥁

11:39am Brian in UK:

Most of the Red ones live in Stanleyland.

11:40am Lane Gray:

Chinchilla is Spanish for Tribble

11:40am Alex In Illinois:

"full-lenghth Chinchilla" probably means a full-lenth fur coat made of Chinchilla fur.

In most of the U.S. we have those grey squirrels, but in certain parts they have Red ones, balck ones, and ones of more than one color.

11:41am Uncle Michael:

I see black squirrels up in Omaha by the river.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

At the other end of my block here in Squirrel Hill, there is an all-black squirrel and and all-white squirrel, and they are always playing together. It's quite a sight.

🥁

11:41am Brian in UK:

@Lane is that a Star Trek link?

11:43am Webhamster Henry:

Firesign Theatre's take on chinchillas:
www.youtube.com...

🥁

11:43am Brian in UK:

The Trouble with Tribbles
en.wikipedia.org...

Not a ST fan but I saw this one and cracked up.

11:44am Alex In Illinois:

All-white squirrels? I've never seen one, but maybe I could catch a grey squirrel and bleach it.

11:44am Lane Gray:

Indeed. Chinchilla are fluffy enough to resemble the quadrotriticale thiefs

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Are you all ready for Chyvonne Scott? Because I really think you ought to prepare for Chyvonne Scott. Because I don't think you should hear Chyvonne Scott without preparing in advance. For Chyvonne Scott.

11:46am Lane Gray:

Henry, I tried to find the SNL "it's a cinch to ranch chinch" skit. From the Curtin/Morris era.

11:48am Jeff Golick:

Was that the Hi rhythm section behind Known Facts?

11:48am Lane Gray:

Strangest cover of Hank Snow I've ever heard. BTW the two scan to each other

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Oh hell yes it was, Jeff Golick. Willie Mitchell and his "You Know Them a Mile Away" Orchestra.

11:49am still b/p:

Had to attempt a summary of the Tribble story to a young someone recently. By the time you get through the 'splaining, the allusion has lost the intended fun of the recall and the fuzz has wilted.

11:50am Listener Gregory:

I think I over-prepared for Chyvonne Scott. Now I have leftovers.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Jaysus, Lane Gray, was that Hank Snow's "I'm Moving On"??!!

🥁

11:51am Brian in UK:

Love the look on Kirk's face in the link, just like our Beagle when he saw the new kittens for the first time.

🥁

11:52am listener james from westwood:

Must zoom on out to meet a lunch companion; will manifest like an unquiet spirit amid HDT this afternoon! Thanks, Doug!!

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

The 45 for that Chyvonne Scott record lists "R. Williams" as composer. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

11:53am Lane Gray:

No, Doug. But it had the same meter

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for keeping WFMU wrapped in your ever-loving PAPER, dear listeners!

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

Doug, still no idea how you do it but keep on keeping on, my friend.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Wow...Ben Carson admits to lying about acceptance to West Point...but don't worry Ben Carson supporters...there is no bridge too far.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Damn, Lane Gray. I wanted it to be true.

@Brian in UK
However it is that I do it, it is fueled with love. So please, extinguish your cigarettes while I refuel.

11:56am northguineahills:

Another fine morning, Doug!

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:57am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room! Great show Doug.

11:58am Stanley:

What Brian said.
Thanks Doug

11:59am Lane Gray:

Doug, you can use each for a Game of One Song to the tune of another.

11:59am Jeff Golick:

Thank YOU, Doug!

12:00pm Mr C:

Hit the sweet spot..

🥁

12:00pm duke:

Thanks Sir Doug

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Love you all. Explosively!
