Listener comments!

8:26am ausmanx:

back in the day, a REAL musician wouldn't have been wearing all that protective gear

8:30am Doug Schulkind:

I know, right! What a lightweight. Good evening, aus!

8:35am annie:

good morning all!!! there are aromas wafting into my window from the deli below. the smells are intoxicating. at one point i thought it was the guy who lived next door, but he keeps his window closed. smells of bread, garlic, bacon... hhhmmmm good!

8:37am Doug Schulkind:

Bread, garlic, bacon, annie. Four of my favorite things!

🥁

8:52am duke:

This guy is playing a duet with the pianist www.popsci.com...

8:53am mauri:

hellouta hellou! my friends are in this video making the opposite www.youtube.com...

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Hi, duke! Hey, mauri!

8:58am ausmanx:

anyone for a cup of tea? i need a break from the Maori pig slaughtering. good evening, Doug and all...

8:59am Maggie B.:

Good morgen Drummers and Doug. I was having a great morning until I heard about Bourdain.

9:01am Maggie B.:

AH, this sound is helping.

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Good welcome, dear Maggie. So much hurt happening all around us. Horrible.

Will try to make things marginally, superficially less horrible for a while.

9:03am Maggie B.:

You always make it SO much better, Doug. I'm not even kidding.

9:03am Leonardo:

Piano's On Fire. Isn't that an Eno song?

9:05am thedunkel:

Burn it up today mr. drummer!

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Leonardo! Here are some matches, thedunkel!

9:10am Webhamster Henry:

Vout-o-roonie.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Wearing your vout suit, I see, Webhamster Henry!

9:24am listener Rey:

Aww reet, mezzrow in the morning

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, doobie brother Brother Rey!

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Keep on looking up there for the space girl, friends!!!

9:32am Funky16Corners:

Good morning all.

9:34am Webhamster Henry:

Burning piano: dangerousminds.net...

🥁

9:36am JtotheK:

good morning Doug, hi everyone.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

So glad to see you, Funky16Corners! And you, too, JtotheeverlovingK!

🥁

9:40am JtotheK:

enjoyed that della reese, thought i'd have to seek out the 45 and then saw that huh, it's the flip of Clock That's Got No Hands ... which I never flipped over. Lesson from Funky16Corners blog I read years ago but forget to always follow - listen to both sides of 45s!

9:41am Jeff g. via app:

[Montell Jordan voice]:This is how we do it.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Yay, it's Jeff G!

9:43am Mr C:

Give the Drummer Some, it's Double Dutch Time!

9:43am Jeff g. via app:

[Jeff Golick voice]: This is a sweet little article about asychronous radio listening: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/06/06/on-the-radio-its-always-midnight/

9:44am Funky16Corners:

@JtotheK - Sometimes you have to go back and reevaluate flipsides you checked out already (as your tastes develop). I've rediscovered tons of cool stuff that way.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of sweet... Mr C's here, y'all!

9:45am Funky16Corners:

I like the Wildwood Flower quote at the beginning of this one!

9:45am Webhamster Henry:

Me too - WHERE'S THE AUTOHARP?

9:46am Funky16Corners:

There's a crazy reworking of Wildwood Flower on this Spotlights 45 (Leon Russell-related) www.youtube.com...

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

There're about 3-4,000 songs that reference Wildwood Flower. God bless every one of them.

🥁

9:47am duke:

This tunes make me want to load up my hound dog into my pickup and drive down to the honky-tonk. Then I remembered I don't have a pickup truck or a dog.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Does my love drive you squirrely?

🥁

9:48am JtotheK:

@F16C - agreed! i remember reading years ago how a lot of in-demand 45s can be for totally different audiences. for example a 'deep funk' side and a 'sweet soul' side. and while my tastes historically have been on the uptempo sides - i'm starting to flip over and enjoy some of the ballad sides.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
You've still got time! I'll wait.

9:49am listener Rey:

I love country story-songs like this one by Guy Drake.

🥁

9:50am JtotheK:

*which then also introduces me to the world of 'northern soul beat ballads' which i know absolutely nothing about ... and i'll then (probably) end up seeking out even more 45s that i'd otherwise overlook.

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

And the kids would never get this one. "What's a phone booth, Daddy?"

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

'nother story-song coming up, Rey.

9:52am Funky16Corners:

@JtotheK - One of 45s that has been on my want list for the longest time is one of those 'divided loyalties' records, with one side for New Orleans soul/funk collectors and the other side for Northern Soulies

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

"A smile was all she wore."

9:53am Funky16Corners:

Which is why it rarely turns up and when it does is prohibitively expensive

9:53am Funky16Corners:

BTW I'm digging the wild pedal steel on these tracks

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Great great song here written by Ed Bruce. Brought to prominence by Charlie Louvin.

9:59am frenchee:

wow, this song is making my scalp tingle.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Then my work is done here, frenchee. Hee hee!

10:00am frenchee:

<applause GIF> hee hee

10:01am listener Rey:

Wonder if George got paid for that sample?

10:02am frenchee:

Hey Doug, have you read DAVID BOWIE MADE ME GAY by Darryl Bullock? Great section about gay c&W artists. *Somebody* oughta interview that guy. like on a radio station somewhere....

10:02am thedunkel:

Oooh nice Georgia Brown!!

10:04am Sem:

Oh, the Possum!
Hello, Doug, the schulkinder, pickers and grinners, and the resolutely country or western.

10:06am northguineahills:

Perfect country set....

10:09am listener Rey:

That sounds awesome. Greece is on the bucket list for the wife and I

10:09am Funky16Corners:

Translated: "My woman left me, so I took my giant river catfish, put it on my tuk-tuk and motored down to the local bar to cry into my iced tea."

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

We are headed to the island of Ikaria. It's were all the Communists were exiled. Ikaria is one of the world's "blue zones" were everyone, inexplicably lives past 100.

10:15am Funky16Corners:

My brother and his family holidayed in Greece last year. It looked amazing. I'm not much of world traveler, but my dream retirement is in one of those whitewashed houses on a sunny hill in the Greek isles.

10:15am still b/p:

“When the reds hit the blue zone, the golden years get long.”

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
That sounds like a song from the previous set.

10:19am still b/p:

Some balalaika twang.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

I balalaika'd that comment, still b/p.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

I think Khwanta just woke up in a tree!

10:22am ausmanx:

Icaria was relatively benign for the communists, i think... Yaros was the real hell for them. there's a great doco by Voulgaris with some disturbing footage from Yaros...

10:24am rw:

Morning! Sounds like Friday.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Apparently, there was quite severe starvation on Icaria in the '30s and '40s. Some say the longevity on the island is the simple result of Darwinism.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Are dubya!

🥁

10:26am Brian in UK:

Hello doug and chums.

@ausmanx just been listening to the TT. Peter Hickman lapped at over 135mph. Crazy.

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Someone get that goose outta the recording studio!

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Out with the goose, in with BRIAN IN UK!

10:26am Ken From Hyde Park:

In the GTDS newsletter this morning, I think the dog on the left is the one from the "LOL Whut?" meme.

10:27am rw:

I was just going to ask, are there farm animals in the studio?

10:27am rw:

I kind of like the goose. Let the goose stay!

10:28am Funky16Corners:

The goose is the lead singer of the band (at least he thinks he is)

🥁

10:28am Brian in UK:

Everybody makes a row down on Jollity Farm. (no EU subsidies there)

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

The goose stays! Thank you for inserting some sanity into the process, rw.

Good morning, Ken From Hyde Park!

10:29am Sem:

Is Goose Gossage off his leash again?

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Sem... off the hook!

10:33am Sem:

Flew through Pittsburgh one year, 1977. Oh, the memories;-D

10:38am Listener Gregory:

Doug, is this recorded at the Famous Ballroom in Baltimore? I heard some great concerts there when I could peel myself away from the books, though a decade later than this one.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
This was recorded at the Royal Arms.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Sem
And boy were your arms tired, amirite!?!

10:47am Funky16Corners:

This pianist is hot! John Hicks is not a name I'm familiar with.

10:48am ausmanx:

hey, brian... TT had its usual casualty count this year?

10:53am Jeff Golick:

Hicks is great, somewhat unsung. He is on some wonderful Arthur Blythe records, and was also in the David Murray quartet for a time.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Funky16Corners
Hicks was a prolific sideman, but not as much on record.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Thank you for the 411!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Ha ha ha! I just realized that I've got Han Bennink cued up next, but he's already playing on this track. Ha ha ha!

10:57am Funky16Corners:

@Doug- Real powerful left hand.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Funky16Corners
That was my nickname in high school.

11:00am Jeff Golick:

Can't spell Han without ha ha ha.

🥁

11:01am Brian in UK:

@ausmanx, 'fraid so, not as bad as some years.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Listening Han gives me the hongries for cheese, nowhatimean?!

11:08am Jeff Golick:

I wheel-y do, @Doug.

11:11am Jeff Golick:

There I Asiago again.

🥁

11:12am Brian in UK:

This is delightful.

11:14am northguineahills:

Loved the Han Bennink (as always)

11:14am annie:

i just hope they removed the strings from that piano and he's fake-playing.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

I love that you loved it, northguineahills!

11:14am Stanley:

Sweet benga benga
Hi all

11:14am northguineahills:

Running wires above the ceiling tiles, and a mummified rat fell out (better then a live or freshly dead rat I suppose).

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, sweet Stanley!

11:15am Cecile:

I remember seeing Pharoah Sanders with John Hicks once, and at almost every break in the music he'd yell "JOHN HICKS!" Great pianist.

🥁

11:16am Brian in UK:

@ngh does that mean it was a female? Never seen a daddified one.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Yes yes yes, Cecile! Hicks played with Pharoah a bunch. And also, hello!

11:18am Jeff Golick:

I can't believe I wasn't able to generate a run of cheese puns. Now I'm bleu.

11:18am Flash Strap:

my favorite Nico

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

@northguineahills
Watch out for those decapitated rattlesnakes. Apparently they can still bite long after having been severed.

🥁

11:21am Brian in UK:

@Jeff I think that fish make better puns.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I failed you.

11:22am Cecile:

Hi, Doug!

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Flash Strap
Your presence is a gift.

11:22am Sem:

Greets, Stanley, BiUK and the Cecile.

11:22am northguineahills:

@Brain: you limeys and your wacky spellings (mummy). We follow Daniel Webster round these here parts.

11:23am Flash Strap:

just happy to be here!

🥁

11:24am Brian in UK:

Hello Sem, Cranberry liqueur disappearing fast.

11:25am northguineahills:

err... Brian. I'm giving up on the Latin alphabet, I just recourse myself to hieroglyphs, cuneiform, or runes.

11:25am coelacanth∅:

hi Doug, and all

11:26am Sem:

@NGH: I can suggest H.L. Mencken's The American Language. Cogently presented, real insight.

Bravo, Brava to you and Lili, Brian.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

To anyone listening who may be living with dark, private struggles, please keep holding on. You may not know it or believe it, but you are loved and valued.

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

@ngh cuneiform, the oldest language, as long as you have plenty of mud and sun.
Thanks for the upgrade.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome welcome, coelacanth∅!

11:28am northguineahills:

@Sem: I have that book (somewhere).

@Brian: always bake your tablets....

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

My final set is packed with some really deeply hurting songs. I am kind of terrified to air it. Feeling very raw at the moment, what with all the assaults to the collective psyche hanging in the air in recent days.

Can we all hold hands during?

11:31am Listener Gregory:

I love the sentiment "Do Better if You Can." If only we would all take this seriously.

11:32am Flash Strap:

i'm with ya Doug. hands touchin' hands

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

There are some wonderful examples of tablets in the Archeology Museum in Istanbul. They are 'taking care' of them; just like those museums in Berlin and London.
Previously I would think that is stealing but with all the troubles in Mesapotamia (Baghdad Museum cleaned out) they have been preserved.

11:34am Jeff Golick:

With ya, @Doug, and fellow drummers. I believe it's ultimately good to express the hurt -- keeps that pain from only turning inward.

🥁

11:34am Brian in UK:

Anyone coming over for this show?
cafeoto.co.uk...

11:34am Sem:

We need big-breasted Bob for stand-by hugging support.

11:36am Mr C:

Never heard of HB as a singer. Arranger/producer-yes..

11:37am Sem:

Absent the Concorde, I am compelled to miss this tour de foce:

“Its positive shine, relentless energy, and alien earworm choruses feel like a portal to an alternate reality, where the sounds of South Africa’s Shangaan electro, Mali’s Balani Show, Syria’s dabke, British grime, and Portuguese kuduro all sweat together.” – FACT Magazine on Obaa Sima by Ata Kak

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

This is the only Barnum vocal I've come across, Mr C.

11:39am coelacanth∅:

Doug is it possible and also easy for you to tell me what played directly after Larry's most recent show? i guess the main wfmu page doesn't update from the last song on the drummer stream playlist until a new song starts, and it was in progress when testify ended.
it was a ragga - tabla, violin, tamboura...i believe.

11:40am Maggie B.:

Listening and purging the sad (or trying).

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

@coelacanth∅
Email me that question. I can't do it now, and I might forget after I mop myself up off the floor after the show.

@Maggie B
I am HERE for you.

11:41am Doctorjazz:

Late to the party hi all!

11:43am coelacanth∅:

Thanks Doug ...i have a wet/dry shopvac if you need it.

11:44am Listener Gregory:

Whoa! Playlist reformat... Sweet!

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
Hold onto your heart, Sir. We are all trying to keep it together.

11:44am Flash Strap:

that Lorraine Randolph was amazing

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Preach, Flash Strap.

11:49am Flash Strap:

so was that Barry Jones! I'm gettin wrecked over here

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

THis "normal," broken-hearted hurt seems relative tame and manageable compared to suicidal ideations. I just want to hug everyone.

11:49am Mr C:

Sad songs and waltz's aren't selling this year Doug. Just fyi

11:50am Doctorjazz:

Teary eyed already!

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Missed the boat again. Oh well. I rent this rickety dinghy and catch up.

11:52am Cecile:

I like this era of Mercyful Fate. When they weren't doing black metal. And weren't Swedish.

11:53am Marie:

Vunderbag set, Doug. Thanks. Loved that Barry Jones.

11:53am Cecile:

SORRY, Danish.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

It was a great pleasure, Marie!

11:54am Sem:

Last set = the feeling when you have no one to dance with at a high school last dance.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Cecile
Sorry Danish.

Just felt it should be repeated.

11:55am Cecile:

hahahah

11:55am Cecile:

Metalhead pedants like myself care about that crap.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

The exalted Jeff Moore is up next, filling in for Uncle Michael. Here is Jeff's playlist. Join him in joy!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

Doug, great show.

11:57am Listener Gregory:

The Montclairs were lucky to get in on the ground floor of bands named after New Jersey towns. The West Oranges were not nearly as successful.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you, thank you, Brian in UK!

11:58am Sem:

Bye for now, Doug, all.

11:58am coelacanth∅:

i didn't feel a thing

11:58am northguineahills:

happy thanks, doug!

11:59am Webhamster Henry:

But how about the Cheesequakes!

11:59am Maggie B.:

Or the Metuchens?

11:59am coelacanth∅:

or the newtons

12:00pm Maggie B.:

love you Doug!

12:00pm coelacanth∅:

or my favorite, Ho Ho Cus

12:00pm Webhamster Henry:

The Ho-ho-kuses!
Have a nice trip, Doug!

12:00pm coelacanth∅:

Thanks Doug

🥁

12:00pm duke:

Thank you Doug

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Thank you, all. I dearly loved gathering with you.

12:05pm Nine in PGH:

Guess Uncle Michael is going to watch the Cubs dismantle our Bucs today.

12:10pm Doug Schulkind:

@Nine in PGH
They will kick sand in our face. Again.
