WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 08/15/18

Listener comments!

11:49am The microphone has been drinking:

My piano is asleep.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Slurp slurp!

12:00pm Dean:

Is that what's his name?

🥁

12:01pm βrian:

Is that Bob Log without his helmet?

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

You got it exactly right, Dean!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

βrian Log!

12:02pm Carmichael:

I know that dude ...

🥁

12:03pm βrian:

Oh, that's Jurr Lee Luce.

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:

He married his third cousin. (Not sure what he did with his previous two cousins.)

12:04pm Dominick:

mic skillz

12:06pm rw:

Way to go Mary! Hey Doug and Co.

🥁

12:08pm listener james from westwood:

Been in since the git-go, but just before airtime, I got a devil of a splinter that needed removing! Bit of first aid in progress during the theme.

12:08pm Doug Schulkind:

Only tha best for U, Dom.

Greetings, rw!

12:11pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
Good luck with that! I got a splinter in my foot a few months back and couldn't for the life of me eradicate it. I hobbled around for weeks, too terrified to call the doctor and face the music. Finally went to an urgent care and the dude pulled out an inch-long spike in about 4 seconds. I've got the splinter taped to my wall right here to remind me to haul my wussy-ass self to the doctor without delay.

12:12pm Doug Schulkind:

And yes, the bastard is literally an inch long. (The splinter, not the doc.)

🥁

12:13pm listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Jeeeeeez, that's a vampire killer right there! Glad it's out!

🥁

12:13pm doctorjazz:

Hi drummers... Wish I could sing that fast !

🥁

12:14pm sinner:

here.

12:15pm Doug Schulkind:

Have another drink, doctorjazz. Then try again.

Welcome, Rev. Dr. Sinner, Sir!

12:18pm Doug Schulkind:

Friends, I am attempting to program a sequence of Bollywood tracks WITHOUT spinning Lata Mangeshkar or Asha Bhosle. Not sure it's ever been pulled off. Wish me luck!

12:23pm Doug Schulkind:

The music in our next set is the inspiration for today's playlist image. See if you can guess the connection.

🥁

12:28pm βrian:

Doug's Angry Inch?

12:29pm Doug Schulkind:

Size doesn't matter, βrian.

🥁

12:30pm βrian:

Tell that to the E.R. doc.

🥁

12:30pm listener james from westwood:

Ah, genius way to go for not including Lata or Asha, film themes!

12:30pm rw:

If anyone can pull off a stunt like that it's our man Schulkind. And I'm not even going to try to make whatever connection there may be to the playlist image.

12:32pm coelacanth∅:

greetings Doug and 100% GTDS listeners (...whatever)

12:33pm Doug Schulkind:

I will forever be embarrassed on behalf of WFMU for the time Kenny G made a fool of himself in the presence of Asha Bhosle when he found himself dining in the same East 6th Street restaurant.

12:33pm Doug Schulkind:

Big radio bear hug, coelacanth∅!

12:34pm coelacanth∅:

is that the killer? (one of the killers?)

12:34pm Doug Schulkind:

I don't even remember the exact story, but I remember Kenny G regaling us proudly of his misadventure. #cringeworthy

12:35pm coelacanth∅:

it's hard to imagine Kenny G making a fool of himself in public

12:39pm steveo:

doug -- good to hear you on a Wednesday!

12:40pm steveo:

@coel I did see your reply about the tape, thanks! i hope your tape player is ok

🥁

12:40pm βrian:

Like the ghee-laden buffet, I can take only so much bollywood at a single sitting.

12:40pm Doug Schulkind:

Oh steveo!

12:40pm steveo:

Oh!

12:42pm rw:

Okay, I'll take a stab at it... Bourbon songs.

12:42pm ike:

Hi all!

🥁

12:43pm βrian:

I was going to say the House of Bourbon.

12:43pm Doug Schulkind:

I'll have what you're drinkin', rw.

12:45pm rw:

Espresso? I could use another cup myself.

12:48pm Doug Schulkind:

This one's for you, doctorjazz!

🥁

12:53pm βrian:

Emmylou Harris: The Bottle Let Me Down.

12:54pm rw:

When I have my own radio station it's going to be all drinking songs. It'll be on AM of course.

12:54pm Doug Schulkind:

I'll drink to that, rw.

12:55pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Whatever this is, it is 100% not Mary Wing. Hot and sunny and humid here today. Not easy to twerk and shirk, especially while cutting the grass.

12:57pm Doug Schulkind:

@Ken From Hyde Park
DON'T DRINK AND MOW!

🥁

12:59pm βrian:

I knew there was a reason I took the bus today.

1:07pm coelacanth∅:

oh Darrell has a different method than Peaches has to get rid of pain...

1:07pm Doug Schulkind:

Leave the driving to the professionals, βrian.

1:08pm geezerette:

There stands the glass...
Howdy!

🥁

1:10pm βrian:

@Doug: That goes for the drinking, too.

1:11pm The microphone has been drinking:

Some of my favorite NYC memories take place on those in-between fields.

🥁

1:14pm listener james from westwood:

Looks like he's got 2 gigs in 2018 and one in production, according to IMDB, so good on him for an enduring acting career!

🥁

1:16pm listener james from westwood:

The production office of my first full-time job was up near the NY border for a spell, right across town from, oddly enough, another psychology/social science publisher. I consider it a missed opportunity that we never contacted them to set up an inter-publisher bowling league at the alley in town.

🥁

1:17pm listener james from westwood:

Also, the Central Park Beer Man just had a birthday this Aug 9; HBD, O hydrator of the base-running masses!

1:17pm Doug Schulkind:

David was a sweet guy. He would hang out with us, imbibing his own "product," whilst enjoying the social connections.

1:20pm Doug Schulkind:

If I remember correctly (always an iffy proposition), David got a bit part in one of the Shakespeare in the Park performances, which was (is) performed in a outdoor theater in Central Park. David would hang with us drinking beers, then race off to get into costume to perform that evening. I forget which play he was in.

1:22pm geezerette:

Artificial Ruminants!

1:22pm Doug Schulkind:

Howwwwww-deeeee, geezerette!

1:23pm geezerette:

! :D

1:24pm Doug Schulkind:

This Andrew Hill trio presents one of the earliest appearances on record (if not THE earliest) of the Art Ensemble of Chicago's longtime bass player Malachi Favors.

🥁

1:24pm listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Hopefully one of Falstaff's drinking crew in the Henry IV plays!

1:25pm coelacanth∅:

steveo, if you're still here, thanks! the player's okay. it needs to be adjusted frequently to get a stereo recording. i only bought it for the looping capabilities; i just listened to all my 8-tracks through to assess their health before posting them on craigslist. i'm only keeping a couple dozen to use for my own noisy endeavors. thanks to ebay's buyer protection policy (which often fails miserably as well) i got the machine for free, because the seller tried to scam me. i did have to fix it; but contrary to popular belief 8-track players are not especially problematic, and the tapes are easily fixable.

1:27pm geezerette:

Dreamy.

1:27pm Doug Schulkind:

@ljfw
Ha! David would've had a hard time playing Falstaff himself. He was a thin and healthy sort.

1:29pm Doug Schulkind:

Ha! I found it. The play was Henry IV, Part 1 in 1987. Falstaff was played by Donald Moffat. Still not sure what role David played: www.nytimes.com...

You had the play right, James!!!

1:31pm steveo:

@coel sounds like fun!

1:31pm Doug Schulkind:

Looks like David played Sir Michael. Not sure if that was a "bit" part or not.

1:33pm steveo:

love this piece; happy to hear a new (to me) interpretation

1:34pm Doug Schulkind:

To think, at the time that I was hanging out with David Gianopoulos and my publishers league softball team in Central Park, I had just started filling in at WFMU. Summer of 1987. I had done maybe 4-5 fill-in shows. On 1 February 1988 I broadcast my very first show of my own. Haven't been off the air since.

1:34pm Doug Schulkind:

Robin Kenyatta is playing Monk's "Ruby My Dear" here in duet with the late, great Muhal Richard Abrams!

1:36pm Carmichael:

From that article: "Sir Michael... David Gianopoulos"

1:37pm geezerette:

Love this Monk,so sweet.

1:37pm Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
Yeah, I just saw that. Also, hello!

1:37pm The microphone has been drinking:

Lovely Muhal here. Weird that the rest of this Kenyatta record is a live quartet from 1969.

1:39pm Doug Schulkind:

Gabor Szabo on guitar here with Chico.

1:41pm Doug Schulkind:

gah-BOR SAH-bo.

1:42pm coelacanth∅:

work is calling. Thanks Doug! Excellent as always.
take care, drummerfolk

1:43pm Doug Schulkind:

See ya on Friday, coelacanth∅!

1:43pm Dominick:

Me gusta!

1:45pm The microphone has been drinking:

Mal-a-KEE or Mal-a-KAI? (Favors)

1:47pm Carmichael:

The Irish say the former.

1:57pm Doug Schulkind:

@The microphone has been drinking
I just downloaded another killer Kenyatta LP called "Until." Do you have it?

I have always said mala-KIGH

2:03pm northguineahills:

Es viernes?

🥁

2:03pm βrian:

Had to make a Pad Phet Basil run. Sated now.

2:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Hahaha! northguineahills. Miercoles! Hahaha!

2:06pm Doug Schulkind:

I'm thinking of opening a Thai restaurant called The Pad Phet Basil Pad.

🥁

2:08pm listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Great sleuthing! Sir Michael had lines, though not many, but enough to avoid his being some random supernumerary: www.opensourceshakespeare.org...

2:10pm Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Hey the lines mention ME!!!

"Why, my good lord, you need not fear;
There is Douglas and Lord Mortimer."

2:13pm Doug Schulkind:

Vocalist doing his James Brown best here: Victor 'Bovick' Bondo Gala!

🥁

2:13pm listener james from westwood:

See, Willy S was looking out for ya!

2:15pm Doug Schulkind:

Or, as Lord Buckley called him, Willie the Shake.

2:16pm The microphone has been drinking:

@Doug: not yet (Kenyatta), but I've espied it.

2:21pm david w:

Hey Doug and all! We are hovering, and Ruth sends love (but really having an existential crisis over Aretha).

2:21pm Stanley:

What's going on, here?

2:23pm Sem:

What's that in the road? A head?

Hello, Doug, and Doug enablers.

2:27pm Dean:

Now *that* is democracy!

2:30pm Webhamster Henry:

Laptop is repaired, now I can catch up with 100% Dougever.

2:32pm northguineahills:

The New Sounds are older then I am, and I'm old ;p !

2:32pm Dean:

Aretha news is so sad. One day prior to learning the news I'd purchased her Amazing Grace, along with the compilation from which Doug played a track on Friday of Texas gospel. Still awaiting their arrival.

2:33pm steveo:

I'd wager you're the youngest one here, ngh :)

2:35pm Doug Schulkind:

100% Webhamstever!

2:36pm Doug Schulkind:

Please to see you, Stanley and Sem!

2:37pm Doug Schulkind:

Basically, there is Aretha and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and then there's everyone else.

2:37pm Dean:

Well, Conchita Supervia, and then everyone else.

2:38pm Doug Schulkind:

Weird mystery about this trippy "Blue Glass Bubbles" from Gloria Taylor. I'll mention it in the mic break.

2:38pm steveo:

(oh was that catty? i take it back)

2:38pm Dean:

Come to think of it, I believe Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is an anagram of Aretha Franklin and Conchita Supervia...

🥁

2:39pm βrian:

The first time I heard Nusrat, I was stacking kumquats. No lie.

2:41pm steveo:

i mention my age on these boards at times because a) i have no reason to keep it a secret and b) it's central to thinking about my life history in relation to the music that was part of my life at different ages

2:42pm Doug Schulkind:

@steveo

Doug > Fuck

[I am older than fuck.]

2:42pm Webhamster Henry:

I was born in 1823 and lie about my age.

2:44pm Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
You don't look a day over 1824.

2:44pm steveo:

right so the premiere of barber of seville when you were 10 was a huge watermark in your life

2:44pm steveo:

@doug i think that a paradox unless you're an amoeba or something

2:45pm steveo:

*is

2:45pm Doug Schulkind:

I'm a paramecium or whatever.

2:46pm steveo:

at least a couple of mecia

2:46pm david w:

For the record, Mary Wing has to resolve further election irregularities next week so Ridgewood Radio will fill in.

2:49pm Dean:

I'M A STENTOR!!!

2:49pm Doug Schulkind:

@david w
Is that a euphemism for "we haven't been able to raise the bail money"??

🥁

2:51pm doctorjazz:

Wednesday is Friday on WFMU (and Sunday at Carvel's). It was a real treat, thanks!

2:52pm Doug Schulkind:

Covering Ike Turner here!

2:52pm Fudgie the Whale:

I love you too, doctorjazz!

2:53pm geezerette:

Loving this set.
Treat to hear GTD in real time,Doug.
Thanks for doing whatcha do!

2:53pm david w:

Poor child overlooked the residency requirement... and thanks, Doug!

2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Erk, had to check the playlist in case that was Aretha singing. Hope the Queen is resting comfortably.

2:55pm Doug Schulkind:

The pleasure is entirely mine, geezerette. Thank YOU for being out there!

🥁

2:58pm listener james from westwood:

Delightful surprise to have you on today, Doug!

3:01pm Doug Schulkind:

It was a surprise to me, too, Listener James. But a delightful one, to be sure!
