8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Snot yet, glenn.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, ndbob!

9:01am annie:

as in ghee and haw? or gee willikers?

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Choosey mothers choose GIF.

9:06am MrC:

The revolution will not be televised, instead it will be broadcast on Give the Drummer Some!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
She should have first read the table of contents under pressure.

@MrC
The revolution will be digitized and uploaded.

9:09am MrC:

Switching labels on two turntables! Fresh!

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Google Translation of this track's title:

What Can Be Tomorrow Start the Day Raining

9:11am holland oats:

holland oats
Stanley
Artie Haywire

Whazzzzzaaaaaahhhhhppppppp!

9:20am Gary:

Your show is causing my cat concern again

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some. Causing concern in cats since 1987.

🥁

9:25am Artie Haywire:

Paulo is quite the vocal stylist.

9:27am Van in DC:

Happy Friday Doug and all

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Van in DC! Hope you'll be OK in the snowmaggedon!

9:28am Van in DC:

Should be a fun one. Already had to sleep under my desk Wednesday night because I couldn't get home.

9:29am ndbob:

I remember that blog Doug

9:30am Gary:

I missed out on that period of music blogs :(

9:32am Van in DC:

I'll be drinking hot spicy German gluhwein

9:32am annie:

"From Brazil, badum-dum, where the nuts come from!" (thanks to "Charlie's Aunt" for that)

9:32am ndbob:

Just north of NYC the amounts really cut down - too far away from here to have an effect

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Sounds like you'll be OK, then, Van! Nice to hear from you!

9:34am Van in DC:

I picture that hippy dude in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World dancing to this

9:36am glenn:

dick shawn, if memory serves. he was more of a beatnik, really.

9:37am Van in DC:

He was like, far out

9:37am Jesse k:

This is right up my alley

9:38am Gary:

Hawt seht

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

LOVE POWER!

You gotta big alley, Jesse K.

9:39am glenn:

i love i.a.m.m.m.m.w. i've seen it probably 15 times.

9:43am Jesse k:

Power alley

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

I hereby solemnly swear to make a loop out of the instrumental beginning of this track and use it as a music bed.

Hold me to it, friends.

9:47am mauri:

howdydoody doug!
just watched world on a wire. good stuff.

9:47am Jeff Golick:

I blame the bird. Morning, Doug, Drummas.

🥁

9:47am doctorjazz:

Hi all, happy Friday.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

doodygoody, mauri!

It's always the bird's fault, Jeff Golick

Here's your sonic scalpel, doctorjazz!

🥁

9:50am doctorjazz:

Haven't heard Home Again in ages, nice tune. (would never be able to pull out the name of the performers in a million years, though).

9:50am Mike East:

Is Batdorf a first or last name?

9:51am Mike East:

...and hi, hello, good morning.

9:52am Dominick:

wow! haven't heard this in a long time

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

John Batdorf and Mark Rodney, Mike East!

Haloooo, Dominick!

9:53am Uncle Michael:

How odd, I have a B&R track in my show queue...and if you do an advanced playlist search you will see how rare that is.

9:53am chromaphone:

Never heard of these guys before. Cool. Kind of cross between Poco and CSN. MOrnin'

9:54am Mike East:

must be a sign they're due for a comeback.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

We probably are menstruating at the same time, Uncle Michael.

9:57am Uncle Michael:

I have my dad's Batdorf & Rodney LPs. He was into them.

9:58am Uncle Michael:

Doug, it's ok that 12-year-old you had smaller ears than contemporary you.

9:58am Uncle Michael:

I have a moose farting in my show queue!

9:59am chromaphone:

As someone who appreciates new music I hope you haven't heard the music I emailed you earlier :)

10:00am Jeff Golick:

My grandmother had a strong dislike of birds; she thought they were bad omens or something. (Very Old World, despite this grandparent being the only one born in the US.) Once, in her later years -- she lived into her 90s -- my mother asked me to bring gma some stamps that she'd bought for her. My mom pointed out that there were birds on the stamps, and told me not to let her get a good look at them. Well, I rolled up to grandma's, gave her the stamps, and tried to move quickly us to the kitchen. She glared at the stamps: "Is that a bird!??"

True story.

10:01am Stanley:

@Jeff - loved your story

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Play her some Charlie Parker?

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

@chromaphone
Thanks for the link. Will inspectigate it after the show!

🥁

10:06am βrian:

Would you stop tickling my gravitas?

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
There's a lozenge for that.

10:08am Alex In Illinois:

Birds always act like they know what they are doing. My late Uncle Steve used to photograph birds as a hobby, and my brother-in-law Danny photographs birds for a living.

10:09am chromaphone:

Very jealous of your bro in law Alex, although half of what is cool about birds is the sounds they make.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Cheep cheep cheep, Alex in Illinois!

🥁

10:10am βrian:

And the sounds they make cats make ...

10:11am Lewis:

late to the show, and love the gif!

10:11am Stanley:

They freaking fly, man!

🥁

10:11am βrian:

How are things in MPLS?

10:12am annie:

i LOVE this!! has anyone seen that great wedding video of the Maka tribute ?

🥁

10:12am βrian:

(Quel tintamarre !)

10:12am Alex In Illinois:

... and the sounds cats make them make. Like when you let the cat out, and first the Blue Jays make that alarm call and then pretty soon you have a lot of birds all chattering their warnings. And somehow, the cat will still manage to catch a pidgeon.

10:13am annie:

oh man this gets me right in the throat!

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Lewis!

10:13am Alex In Illinois:

This sounds great in stereo headphones.

10:13am Lewis:

@brian: not too bad - had a bit of very cold and now a stretch of grey in the 20's. I gather Mendota closed up finally?

🥁

10:14am βrian:

It finally did. On the 11th:
www.aos.wisc.edu...

10:15am annie:

ok, keeping the headphones on now..

10:16am ndbob:

Quite a story there Jeff!

10:16am Mike East:

very strange...this morning I was thinking about Mr Bungle pretty randomly. They totally rip off this chant.

10:16am Lewis:

Yeah I took a look at that yesterday. Looks like overall the ice cover duration is actually increasing (back toward its long term average...)

10:19am Alex In Illinois:

I just noticed how much this sounds like a train.

🥁

10:19am βrian:

Are they going to take it to the bridge or hit it and quit?

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

All aboarddddd!

10:21am MrC:

@ Brian My question exactly

10:21am Van in DC:

Another earlier Mind Train lol

10:22am Mike East:

these villagers are in touch with something magical and real.

10:22am Alex In Illinois:

The original Soul Train?

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Ohmigod, Van. Mind Train would make a wonderful segue with this. (Making a mental note. Thanks.)

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Get ready for some Max Roach like you've never heard before (except on previous Give the Drummer Somes).

10:24am Uncle Michael:

Rather haka-like...only more so.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

That would make a nice double bill, Uncle Michael. The Maori haka dudes opening for the Ketjak Monkey Chant dudes.

10:28am Gary:

Once again, the cat appears to be disconcerted. (Whistling?)

10:28am annie:

*haka*... hehe... not maka.. oops.....

10:30am Uncle Michael:

Doug, I'd get a VW microbus and follow that tour around the country.

10:31am schmoo:

I heard the last 4 songs you just played during my commute this week including Brother Ah. Are you channeling my cell phone?

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

I want everyone in the audience to say love LOVE LOVE everybody say love.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

No, but I implanted a microtransmitter in your back right molar, schmoo.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

But I did it out of love.

10:33am Sam Segal:

Morning, Doug! Had a chance to drop in quick before work. Love to all.

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Sam Segal!

10:36am chromaphone:

They sound a bit angry

10:37am Jeff Golick:

"...even touch your wife..." !!! well I never.

🥁

10:44am βrian:

No eunuch?

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Williams S. Burroughs said there's no such thing as a free eunuch.

🥁

10:49am βrian:

Did he say that? Or was it his typewriter?

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Two days ago, Jessie and I received a notice from the IRS apologizing for overcharging us by $202.85 on our 2013 taxes—and promising a refund. Yesterday, I parked in front of an assisted-living residence where I took a tour as I am considering places for my dad to move to when my mom passes. I was a little distracted and parked in a handicapped-only spot and got a ticket for $230.50.

That pretty much sums it all up, this life business.

10:59am Jeff Golick:

Yeesh, Doug. If written as fiction, no one would find that story credible.

11:00am Van in DC:

That's exactly what would happen to Ford in Hitchhiker's Guide

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

I'm not sure anyone would find my nonfiction credible.

11:03am Van in DC:

Epic tweet a few minutes ago:

Edward Snowden ‏@Snowden 20m20 minutes ago

Soon, even D.C. will be Snowden.

11:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Van in DC
And then someone Tweeted back to him:

"That undid all the good you have done."

11:04am ndbob:

woah Doug!

🥁

11:13am βrian:

So we're back to the birds, are we?

11:14am Van in DC:

Hey there might be something to this DC blizzard thing after all. The Smithsonians are closing at noon and will stay closed throughout the weekend. Wow.

🥁

11:14am doctorjazz:

Clusone Trio, very cool, are they still around? Haven't heard about them for a while.

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of birds, here are all the tracks on this Rara Avis LP:

🥁

11:16am βrian:

Fourteen birds in the hand, ...

11:21am Mike East:

nice fuzzz!

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Is there ever bad fuzzz, Mike East?

11:23am Carmichael:

Stepping into a strange-sounding conversation .... Good morning drummers, summers, and Doug.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Step on in, Carmichael. Please remove your galoshes first, though.

11:25am Alex In Illinois:

I've heard about green fuzz. Some folks have bags of it.

11:28am Mike East:

when its growing your produce, its not so good.

11:28am ndbob:

@Van the fed government in DC is closing at noon in general - looks like the snow is coming a couple hours earlier than anticipated - even got an inch here on the back end

11:30am Uncle Michael:

Please join me for the usual nonsense at the top of the hour.

wfmu.org...

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@Van
And the Metro the D.C. buses are shutting down, too. Crazy.

11:30am holland oats:

asiko ye shall find

11:30am Flash Strap:

late arrival! Hello Doug!

11:31am Van in DC:

@ndbob - yep, they're kicking me out of work here in a half hour

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

Hey Boss, so that is how the new notional planet was born.

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Nothing can stop the Washington Capitols.

11:31am Van in DC:

@Doug - yep, and I'm hoping to be able to get home before all of that happens...

11:32am Van in DC:

Yeah, a fellow at the bar last night was complaining that he has tickets to the Caps game tonight but that they were refusing to cancel / reschedule / refund? Wow.

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Would anyone mind awfully if I did not get on down and just had a nice cup of tea.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Except bad spelling.

11:33am Alex In Illinois:

n Chicago, we can get a rough idea of how much snow to expect by seeing how many snowplows per mile are already on the roads to prepare for it.

11:33am Flash Strap:

we even have snow here in NC, which means the roads are probably already strewn with flaming sedans

🥁

11:34am Brian in UK:

A miserable mother of day has turned into a most beautiful late afternoon. Stay safe everyone.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
I will never hide the asiko

BRIAN IN UK, HEY HEY!!

@Uncle M
Caps play the Penguins at home on Sunday. NHL refuses to reschedule. Oops, Van just said that! Caps are a juggernaut! Which is like an astronaut, but with jugger instead of astro.

Hiya, Flashy! I was wondering if you were gonna get the white stuff. North Carolinia often gets bad ice storms. Whatchyerstep!

11:35am Uncle Michael:

I just saw a reference to "Winter Storm Stop-Naming-Winter-Storms"

11:36am Uncle Michael:

It's the Caps not the NHL that refuses to reschedule *tonight's* game.

11:36am Van in DC:

I'm a Jaegernaught, kind of like an juggernaut except with Jaeger.

11:37am Juggalo-not:

I'm not a 'naut.

11:37am Parq:

You panicked.

11:37am Flash Strap:

yeah, we get ice storms and then all the branches get heavy and fall off and the skies rain down death

🥁

11:38am Artie Haywire:

Steady sleet here in Raleigh. Time to top off the bird feeders, salt the walk, and light up the neighbor's sedan.

🥁

11:38am βrian:

Real hockey is played outdoors.

11:38am Rich in Washington:

@Doug: re: grapefruit juice. Me too! No fooling! Especially with some gin.
But by itself, too, naturally.

11:38am Irwin:

Hope you're drinking fresh-squeezed, not that Tropicana crap.

11:39am Van in DC:

@Artie - that explains the email from SAS Institute about their closing due to inclement weather. I was wondering...

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Not Tropicana, Irwin. What do you take me for?

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Parq!

11:41am ndbob:

The winter storm naming thing is from the weather channel - not official

🥁

11:41am Brian in UK:

Doug, talk of scurvy is not so funny.

www.bbc.co.uk...

11:41am joe:

'ello folks
Even if you didn't play it Doug I still think you are a brave man. :)

🥁

11:42am βrian:

Does their naming system imply a seasonal sequence?

11:42am MrC:

I'll Bet You George Clinton co-wrote this song

11:42am joe:

French Toast Blizzard party my place this weekend.

11:43am Irwin:

If you want the full metabolic impact of that grapefruit juice, add copious amounts of RUM.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

I would never bet against you, MrC.

11:43am Uncle Michael:

Bob, with all due respect...the Weather Channel can shove those names up their figurative ass. I hate show business.

11:44am ndbob:

@UM I totally agree

11:44am Uncle Michael:

Always take Irwin's advice...especially when it comes to matters of nutrition.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Oh hey, Joe! Almost missed you!

11:45am Uncle Michael:

White or dark rum, Irwin? Can we call that cocktail a Curmudgeon?

11:46am Van in DC:

Kraken...mmmm

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time radio show is up next here on your 24-hour Drummer Stream. Tune in and I bet he'll let you stroke his pet monkey.

Playlist is here: wfmu.org...

11:48am joe:

Weather Channel can take a walk with their disaster leaning partisan weather reporting. Give me the good old days of pun laden bad graphic Mr. G weather reporting

🥁

11:48am βrian:

Does your kitchen have a grapefruit knife/spoon in it? (This has to be some kind of litmus test.)

11:49am Uncle Michael:

I have a grapefruit knife, yes.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

One of them little spoons with the teeth? ✓

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Just open the curtains to see the wevver.

Is it a red or white grapefruit knife.

11:51am Rich in Washington:

If you drink enough rum, everything's a grapefruit knife.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

I only buy red grapefruit.

🥁

11:53am βrian:

I love grapefruit but am too impatient to carve out the jewels of flesh. I imagine true luxury as being fed jewels of grapefruit by an odalisque.

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

Have you got one of them things for taking the stone out of a mango?

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

I love the cascading organ sound on this track. Not like grapefruit love, but maybe like mango/strawberry/banana love.

11:54am Uncle Michael:

I tend to peel and eat grapefruit, methodically removing the outer skins of the sections.

11:54am Van in DC:

Okay thanks Doug. Great last set, thanks! Time to see if I can make it home.

11:55am MrC:

Lounge soul

11:55am Uncle Michael:

I'm having a mango, strawberry, banana smoothy right now. I'm serious. Are we menstruating yet?

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Good luck, Van! Stay warm, dry and happy.

11:55am Shaun:

Great show, Doug. Be lucky. pbs.twimg.com...

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Ahoy, Shaun!

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

White segment better than red but might be called slightly peppery.

🥁

11:56am βrian:

... while reclining in front of the fireplace during a snowstorm, I should add.

🥁

11:56am Brian in UK:

Is that you Shaun?

11:56am Parq:

I have a new conspiracy theory. Apocalyptic snow predictions always prompt massive panic buying. Wal-Mart, Cosco and the like make a fortune. Coincidence??

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

We are manstruating, Uncle Michael.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Great show, Doug. Thanks.

See you fine folks in the next room.

11:57am Shaun:

After a ruby, brian, yes.

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

Heck, I need some potatoes (he said in a manly voice)

11:57am Carmichael:

Raining like the proverbial bastard here on The Coast.

11:58am Carmichael:

We are manly men who do manly things in a manly way.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

After so much not rain, Carmichael. Just hoping you don't mudslide into the sea...

11:58am Flash Strap:

hate to have it end, doug

11:59am northguineahills:

Thanks Doug!

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

Carmichael, put it there, meet the boys.

11:59am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

That's because you never let it end, hardly, Flash Strap. Which makes you the coolest DJ ever.

11:59am Rich in Washington:

thanks, Doug! Great show!

12:00pm Carmichael:

Hello Bruce, hi Bruce, that's Bruce and Bruce over there as well.

12:00pm Jesse K:

Thanks Doug!

12:01pm Jessie:

Thanks, hon! Brilliant last set made the grey day brighter.

12:01pm joe:

Thanks Doug

🥁

12:02pm βrian:

Oh no, Wednesday NEEDS the drummer stream!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

You gals and guys are the very best. I love you all, but especially Jessie.
