Listener comments!

5:13am ausmanx:

i'll get in early and say the Ramones look so sad cos Prince Buster's passed on... RIP

8:03am Doug Schulkind:

Prince Buster lives! Sad Ramones live!

🥁

8:11am Brian in UK:

Hello. I say the news of Prince Buster has reached the colonies already. The mailboat is not due to leave for another three weeks.

8:14am Doug Schulkind:

Postman Brian in UK
News floats fast these days.

8:27am ausmanx:

don't forget, we're hours ahead of all you guys!

8:29am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
You are the voice of tomorrow.

🥁

8:38am Brian in UK:

Doug, sad to say I have a new radio station. UnionJACK. Now we are on the cusp of leaving the European Union there is a vital need for a radio station that plays only music originating from this treasured isle. The way forward?
www.unionjack.co.uk

8:39am Doug Schulkind:

Unfortunately, the new iPhone can't play UnionJACK. There is no place to plug it in.

🥁

8:40am Brian in UK:

Sits nicely next to DroopydrawersFM and NumbnutsFM and ofcourse SmoothFM. FM stands ofcourse for F**kMe

8:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Science has proven that droopydrawers are a leading cause of numbnuts.

8:44am ausmanx:

and Doug is here to Give the Dumber Some, the Brexit spin-off...

8:47am Doug Schulkind:

Brexit. It sounds like a toilet-bowl cleaning product.

🥁

8:47am Brian in UK:

I think Nigel & Donnie, a well loved and much missed duo from the early Sixties are making a comeback as a comedy team, story is they split before the punchline.

🥁

8:50am Brian in UK:

The word will be in the next edition of the OED.

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

If I were a comedian, I would use the stage name Spike D. Punch

🥁

8:55am Brian in UK:

I hear Gary Johnson has been advertising Aleppo the new wonder cleanser. Well what else does he know?

🥁

8:58am listener james from westwood:

Smithers: "Here are several fine young men who I'm sure are going to go far. Ladies and gentlemen, The Ramones!"
Mr. Burns: "Ah, these minstrels will soothe my jangled nerves!"
Joey Ramone: "I'd just like to say, this gig sucks!"

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Is Aleppo this missing Marx brother, or the missing Ramones brother?

Good morning, Listener James FW!

9:01am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:03am annie:

wow, is there any room left, a little bench i can sit on? good morning drummer-crowd!

🥁

🥁

9:07am Brian in UK:

Hello ndbob 'n james.

🥁

9:08am listener james from westwood:

Good gods, on the air after a root canal? Radio hero!

9:08am annie:

9:08am melinda:

🥁

9:08am doctorjazz:

Hi, happy Friday!

9:08am Maggie B.:

It's gonna take me all morning to recover from the discovery of the missing Marx brother.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

So please to see you, ndbob, annie, melinda, doctorjazz, Maggie B (dear mommy) and you and you and you!

9:10am holland oats:

9:10am annie:

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

holland ooooooooooates!

9:10am ndbob:

Hi Melinda et al!

9:11am Uncle Michael:

Good morning.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Unclebrother!

9:16am Mr C:

"The Ten Commandments" by Prince Buster:
1) Thou shall listen to Give the Drummer Some, and no other

9:22am AndrewC.:

Doug - I still have Karl Blau country covers running through my head, after seeing him play on Tuesday in London. A great concert and album - thanks for introducing me!

🥁

9:23am Brian in UK:

@AndrewC where was he playing?

9:24am AndrewC.:

@Brian the Lexington on Pentonville Road.

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Good early (oily) morning to you, Mr C!

So happy to have brought you two together, AndrewC!

🥁

9:26am Brian in UK:

@AndrewC nice little gig if you get down the front. Going to see John Murry at the Slaughtered Lamb on Tuesday.

🥁

9:29am Brian in UK:

Lexington is a room above a pub.
Slaughtered Lamb is a room underneath a pub.

9:30am mauri:

Afternoon.

9:31am Mr C:

That Jan Howard jam was a killer diller!

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, mauri!

9:32am AndrewC.:

I've not been to the Lexington before, but yes, a nice room and a really fun show. Hope you enjoy yourself on Tuesday!

9:32am Uncle Michael:

I love this Hank Thompson so much.

9:33am still b/p:

Good morning!
Was Jan Howard aiming to be a Patsy Cline inheritor?
Friend of mine and a music partner did a Patsy tribute show a few weeks ago at the Poland Springs chapel -- yes, that Poland Springs -- and though they were an unknown duo in that concert series, they packed the joint. Folks love 'em some Patsy.

9:35am ndbob:

excellent set there Doug

🥁

9:42am Brian in UK:

This may sound odd but it sounds a bit like polyphonics without the voices.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

howdy, still b/p!

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Not odd at all, Brian in UK.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Another amazing cassette from Peter Doolan's Monrakplengthai blog: monrakplengthai.blogspot.com...

9:49am northguineahills:

morning, morning, Doug!

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

How's it hanging, NGH?!

9:52am Jeff Golick:

What's shaking?

9:52am still b/p:

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, Donald Trump and our Maine governor Paul LePage should be trapped together in an elevator for 48 hours, or exiled together to the Phantom Zone.

9:54am northguineahills:

Been in FL for 10 days, still waiting for my stuff from Brooklyn to arrive.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Gary Sullivan's latest Bodega Pop Live show on the Drummer Stream was one for the ages featuring 3 hours of rare cassettes from Burma: wfmu.org...

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Wow Florida, NGH! Is that a permanent move?

@still b/p
I endorse that predicament.

🥁

9:56am Brian in UK:

@ngh hope you get your future together. Prince Buster lived in Miami.

9:57am northguineahills:

Permanent as in I'm not returning to Brooklyn any time soon. Not sure where in FL I'll end up long-term, outside of Jacksonville right now.

9:58am ausmanx:

Having been in Manila for the election, we need to be reminded that Duterte is much more interesting and substantial than the sensationalist Western media headlines would have us believe, and certainly shouldn't be lumped into the same populist basket as the others... www.counterpunch.org...

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

What basket should we lump Duterte in, ausmanx?

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

I know what it's like to leave Brooklyn, NGH. I know it has changed significantly, but I miss it still—terribly—though.

10:09am ausmanx:

same as Putin... very very clever politicians who know what appeals to their people but also have a very sophisticated understanding of geopolitics. if the US doesn't watch itself, Duterte will prove a BIG problem, i think

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

A Converse high-top, Jeff Golick!

🥁

10:11am doctorjazz:

Absolutely LOVE this Cootie Williams! Great relaxed swing!

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

In the pocket, doctorjazz!

@ausmanx
"If the US doesn't watch itself."

Who are we kidding? When has the US ever done this?

10:16am annie:

i've been reading"The Notebook", a collection of blog posts by Jose Saramago, written during the bush-obama transition. this is one brilliant man and so acutely aware. this book is why i want to learn portuguese, too.

10:16am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: am hoping your procedure did not go like this: s.mlkshk-cdn.com...

🥁

10:19am doctorjazz:

Air! What a great old group! Saw them, think it was the Tin Palace.

10:19am Jeff Golick:

Threadgill on bari! Didn't recognize this. So good.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I am afraid to open a link on this "live" computer. Is that "safe."

10:20am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: it is safe in that it is a still image with no sound (meant to add that), but it is not safe in that it is kinda gross.

10:21am northguineahills:

Well, the Philippines geopolitcally need the US if they want any influence on China's incursions on their outposts in the Scarborough Shoal and other islets in the South China Sea. Most of my Filipino friends aren't too keen on Duterte (but that was on the runup to the election).

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

My root canal was kind of Erie, Jeff Golick.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

I just learned from Discogs that the recording engineer on this Air album was Paul Serrano, a wonderful and unheralded trumpeter in his own right. I had no idea.

10:26am ausmanx:

i think the US spends most of its time watching itself, doug! it just doesn't have very good judgement! and Duterte is now negotiating with China on much better terms than the U.S. (not to mention the rebel groups in his own country). he's actually pretty good at it, though you wouldn't know that to read the Western media. in many ways, it would suit the Philippines to be much closer to China

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

And that led, just now, to my discovery of this blog post talking about Serrano: outsidepants.blogspot.com...

10:29am Jeff Golick:

Can the folks who want to intelligently discuss geopolitics keep it down, please? I thought this was the kids' table.

While we're doing deep Discogs dives, a word for the recently departed Lewis Merenstein, producer of Astral Weeks, and Moondance, and in between, George Burns Sings: www.discogs.com...

10:31am northguineahills:

Although, capital punishment for criminals (drug dealers, in Duterte's words) w/o trial is a dangerous precedent.

10:31am northguineahills:

Ok, I gotta run some errands, see you around Doug, thanks!

10:32am annie:

welcome to florida, ngh!

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

What does he say on Hello Dolly?

10:34am Jeff Golick:

Bruce at DMG once corrected my pronunciation of Sclavis. Unfortunately I can't remember how I was corrected.

🥁

10:36am Brian in UK:

When I had a wisdom tooth out eighteen months ago it was suggested that an anaesthetic was a good idea. I felt like such a womp (like a wimp but with slightly more potential)

10:38am still b/p:

"This is Lou-isss, Dolly."

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Watch out for the gators, NGH!

10:39am holland oats:

Cry me a lake already!

10:39am annie:

not sure what is more entertaining in that GIF, the face on the guy staring at the foot or the reaction of the foot-tapper.

10:39am Mr C:

Jabo Starks played ferocious drums on the original of this.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Ferocious like John Starks dunking over Jordan, Mr C?

10:40am Mr C:

Yeah, just like that!

10:40am Jeff Golick:

@Brian: one hopes they didn't suggest a pwomp: cdn.meme.am...

10:44am Lewis:

Good morning GTDS folks - long time gone on my end. My incremental summer vacation (Fridays off) has come to an end. The only upside to that is that here I am once more. Cheers!!

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Anyone know who is interviewing the Ramones in the image? I'm guessing Dinah Shore.

🥁

10:45am Brian in UK:

@Jeff Holy Amalgam, I didn't bargain for that.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

I love the way Effie pronounces "yeah." It begins with an M sound.

10:47am Jeff Golick:

Dinah Shore seems a good bet. After all, she had Iggy on in 1977.

10:48am Little Danny:

Ohhh, Rex used that Red Coffee & B. Jones cut as talkover music from time to time. The universe aligns briefly.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

I always have that visceral reaction when I hear that track, Little D. And boy howdy to you, Sir!

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, ^up there^ LEWIS!

10:52am still b/p:

And Dinah performed with Iggy a bit, when Bowie couldn't make it some nights on that '77 tour. I saw Bowie, not Dinah, with him in Harvard Square Theater.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Dinah was punk.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Did some Googling:

That is the Ramones on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show in 1981.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the link: www.youtube.com...

11:01am annie:

oh geez, this piano is making me swoon!

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

More info about Dave Alexander (Omar Sharriff) here: www.americanbluesscene.com...

🥁

11:04am Brian in UK:

Fat Albert?

11:04am burke:

Or love is JUST for fools, in the sense of love meting out justice for fools.

11:05am Little Danny:

And by worst fake crying you mean best fake crying

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

The best worst fake crying?

11:09am Stanley:

Friends. I'm home from the Islands and it's good to be back.
Missed y'all.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Burke
I endorse that interpretation!

@Little Danny
My neighborhood deli has the best wurst.

STANLEY!

11:10am Flash Strap:

Good morning drummas

🥁

11:10am Brian in UK:

Stanley, just thinking about you. how was the West Coast?

🥁

11:10am Sam Segal:

Wow, this is gorgeous, @Doug. Hello all!

11:10am Stanley:

..and in time for 'Flowery' Mohammed Wardi

11:11am holland oats:

sounds like a party huh?

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

The "strings" in this Mohammed Wardi number sound like they would fit nicely in the soundtrack to "Oklahoma."

11:12am Stanley:

Brian - great, thanks. Got five out of seven dry days,some sunshine and relatively low on the midge scale, too.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, do you know what yesterday was... ?

11:13am holland oats:

yes and no

🥁

11:14am Brian in UK:

The day after the day before yesterday.

🥁

11:15am Artie Haywire:

Howdy all!

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Yesterday was my father's 97th birthday.

11:15am ndbob:

wow Doug

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

You can't have a party without Artie.

11:15am Stanley:

Mohammed Wardi was Sudanese and a big star back in the day.

🥁

11:16am Brian in UK:

Doug, if only he knew it.

11:17am Flash Strap:

i heard those Oklahoma! strings Doug

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Brain in UK
My sister called Dad's assisted living residence from California and spoke with him. He wasn't sure who she was. He still knows me, but surely that is because I am close and visit him often. I suppose that will fade away sooner or later.

@Flash Strap
You have big ears, my friend.

11:19am Stanley:

This is excellent. Haven't heard much (any?) Somali music.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

This fantastic Somali compilation is here: afro7.net...

Thanks to the mighty and generous Jillem for getting a copy in my hands.

🥁

11:21am Brian in UK:

My favourite contemporary Somalian singer is K'Naan but he is Canadian based.

11:21am Jeff Golick:

Happy day to your dad, @Doug. And to you.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

He is K'Naadian?

11:22am northguineahills:

Back for a bit.

11:23am Stanley:

Hahaha! Doug you are on fine form today.

🥁

11:23am Brian in UK:

Doug, you are going to cut yourself, young man.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Here is your comfy cushion back, northguineahills. I saved it for you.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, one of my all-time favorite artists. Blessedly, she is always first in the alphabetical order of my recordings.

11:28am Stanley:

Anita Aardvark?

11:29am northguineahills:

Aa is the beginning of all of my recordings.

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Please come get some Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Aâtabou! Aâtabou! Aâtabou! God I love her.

11:36am THE UNIVERSE:

Don't worry about it.

11:38am Alex In Illinois:

Great show. I have been listening but too busy to comment.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Stay busy, Alex in Illinois!

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Uni. You're a pal.

11:43am northguineahills:

Off I go again, enjoy the weekend everyone!

🥁

11:43am Brian in UK:

Doug, this is mighty, great show, great host. Thank you.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Brian in UK

It is great because we do it together. So thank you. Thank everyone.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

@Uncle thought you are the sweet pickle!

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

There is Gregory Isaacs in the sir.

11:55am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Cheese and pickle isn't a thing over here.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Arise and sing, Carmichael!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

See you fine folk in the next room...

🥁

11:56am Brian in UK:

Cheese and onion for me, in fact hold the cheese.

11:57am Stanley:

UM - you are the dairy alternative soya cheese and sugar-free pickle

🥁

11:58am doctorjazz:

Too busy to post much, but great show! Over to the next room!

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Germans play "hide the pickle" at Christmas time. This is not a euphemism.

12:00pm Stanley:

Doug - top marks, as always.

🥁

12:00pm Brian in UK:

There used to be a man I think it was in Barbados who always turned up for the cricket Test Matches whose name was Chutney.

12:01pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, @Doug!

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:
