Listener comments!

🥁

6:36am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug.
Stand up and raise a glass to....
www.barbican.org.uk...

7:55am ausmanx:

hey brian, and doug, do love topic although they can be a bit po=faced at times and i tend to think that folk tradition should be more fun! we should also raise a glass to Dr John... gris gris one of the great records of all time, i reckon...

🥁

8:03am Brian in UK:

What-ho ausmanx, heavy precipitation here, just had four days of visitors, so in recovery mode.
If you start out as a communist based idea the laughs might be a bit thin on the ground.

8:04am Doug Schulkind:

Topic has played a key role in the universe, and they should be toasted. On Dr. John was a universe unto himself.

🥁

8:06am Brian in UK:

I am sure that this gif has featured on FMU previously.

8:13am Doug Schulkind:

A similar one surely has, though this particular GIF I created myself last evening. Keep your eyes open for a variation. Coming soon to a playlist near you.

8:13am ausmanx:

communists can be very funny indeed!

8:49am Jeff Conklin:

If Topic released only those Anne Briggs, Dick Gaughan and Nic Jones records they’d still be legends!

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of legends: Mr. Conklin is here!

8:54am Jeff Conklin:

Shows sounding perfect this morning. Thanks, Doug.

8:57am Doug Schulkind:

And it hasn't even started! It's like throwing my voice. We begin in earnest in three measly minutes.

8:59am Uncle Michael:

gif from the best filmed artifact of the best rock and roll band ever!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Keep you eye on the GIF. The times they will be a-changing.

9:00am Jeff Conklin:

Ha just realized it was a bit early. Still nice to get some Ornette before the second cup of coffee.

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

I hate myself for having to fade out Ornette. That's breaking a natural law of the universe.

🥁

9:02am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

Howdy, all! Took the Wake and Bake cannon over here.

🥁

9:03am Brian in UK:

@Uncle is that Grand Funk Railroad then?

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

And you brought fireworks! Hello, exalted GST!

🥁

9:05am bobdc:

Danny Fields said more than once that the MC5 should have been as big as Grand Funk.

9:07am annie:

did i miss the email reminder? good morning all!

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

annie, no you didn't. I forgot to send it! Yipes! Gimme a sec.

9:08am chresti:

Good morning

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, bobdc! chresti! Danny Fields!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for the heads-up, annie.

🥁

9:11am Brian in UK:

Missed Gina's show last week, we went to see Fairport Convention (acoustic, apart from 5 string electric bass). Excellent sound and content.
There was also an 8 string acoustic guitar. Do not see many in captivity.

9:12am ausmanx:

why does anyone bother scheduling circket there, brian? it just gets rained off. speaking of acoustic guitar, i have kazuo imai in my living room this wednesday. he asked for an inexpensive one, so god knows what he plans to do to it!

🥁

9:14am Brian in UK:

ausmanx, going to three games, two at Old Trafford and one at Edgbaston. Fingers crossed (does make typing difficult)

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Gina's live guest tomorrow will be The BraziLionaires: "an infectious blend of jazz, rock, & pop over hypnotic Latin Grooves."

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Dave Sewelson's special surprised guest tomorrow will be tenor saxist Jessica Jones!

9:20am Gary via app:

Hola! Love that Lamento Boricano comp

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

I'm appy you're appy, Gary!

9:22am Stanley:

Here hair here.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Hear hear, Stanley!

9:24am Maggie B.:

¡Me está gustando este set!

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Con muchismo gusto, Maggie B!

9:27am Mr C:

Mama Roux
She was the queen of the little red, white and blue..

🥁

9:36am sinner:

hallelujah

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Doctor Reverend Mr C!

Blessed sinner!

9:38am Greg R.:

Ugh, I missed the pre-amble to the singing souls. this song is amazing. now trying to find it.

9:39am Stanley:

Wow, my computer crashed but when I got it going again it seems it caused one of the MC5 lineup to disappear.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Greg R
Email me. I'll send it.

9:39am Stanley:

Nope, just spotted him. He got blown to the back

9:39am Greg R.:

(thumbs up emoji)

9:42am chresti:

What's in the jar the guy behind the speakers, is holding?

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Amazing thing if you watch the full-length footage of this MC5 show at Wayne State. Where are the women? The camera scans the crowd several times and I think I spotted maybe two women in the entire gathered assemblage.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

The tears of baby unicorns, chresti.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Great bass line on this Exciting Gospel Crowns number.

9:48am Mr C:

Raw soul.

🥁

9:49am Artie:

Doesn't everyone bring a jar of greek olives to rock shows?

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Kalamata Rock! Kalamata Rock!

9:52am chresti:

It looks like a bottle of milk, suspicious milk

🥁

9:52am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

I actually did that once! Well, it was an outdoor concert in the park.

🥁

9:53am sinner:

....I just had a vision of Brother Doug doing the Holy Dance in his studio....;.

🥁

9:53am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

chresti: we can't go on together with suspicious milk

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

STATE OF MAINE getting a shout-out!

9:54am Stanley:

It's that sniffing milk, he's got.

9:54am chresti:

Raise your hands..
Haha Granny!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

He does appear to be snuffing the lid, Stanley.

🥁

9:56am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

it's liquid cocaine! we'll make a million. (o yeh, Coke already did that)

9:56am chresti:

I wonder if Iggy is in the crowd

9:57am thedunkel / el carnicero francés:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer! Good Morning all!

🥁

10:00am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

This is my jam! (that's what the kids say now)

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

thedunkel! Hello! Hello! Hello!

10:01am chresti:

Yeah, I dig the Araby music, too

10:02am Funky16Corners:

Morning all!

10:03am bigplanetnoise:

Goooooood morning!

🥁

10:04am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

gotta grab my zils and dance along!

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Funky16Corners! bigplanetnoise! Now those are some boys who now how to dig!

10:05am chresti:

I dug the Puerto Rico set, too, very much..

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

We'll hear a track from Ziad's mom, at the end of this set.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Almost sounds like bagpipes here.

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

Doug, not disimilar to Omar Souliyman's keyboard player but slower.

10:12am Jeff g. on the LIRR:

At least we have this. Yay this!

10:13am chresti:

Where is the LIRR?

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Ride swift, ride safe, Jeff G!

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

@chresti
The LIRR is a NYC commuter rail line, the Long Island Railroad. Our dear Jeff is bucking the trending and heading out of the city for work. On Lawn Guyland.

10:20am chresti:

Fairuz-great

10:21am chresti:

Way to go Jeff G

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Fairuz: Second only to Oum Kalthoum in the hearts of Arabic language music lovers. Over 150 million records sold.

10:23am chresti:

Wish we had more commuter trains, and at least one that came to San Gabriel

10:24am Listener Gregory:

Checking in... I'm not going to look back to see what I missed so far and then start crying. I'm not. I'm not.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

You've always been a crier, Listener Gregory.

10:28am Marie:

Hello Doug and All, happy Friday! As always, a fantastic gif. And Doug, you are a big gift!

10:30am chresti:

They stopped the Pacific Electric Red Car, in the early 60s, before that you could take it to the beach, from the SGV

10:33am Listener Gregory:

I was the town crier until they changed my meds.

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

Doug, did you say a brand new spanking show?

10:34am Gina Bacon:

Morning! Thanks, Doug!

10:34am Marie:

@Listener Gregory--hee hee

10:35am Listener Gregory:

@Brian, I hope so. There is not nearly enough S&M on the stream.

10:35am fleep:

Stream Daddy in da house

10:36am Uncle Michael:

Doug's pouring out new shows. Say when...

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

Gina B! Gina B! Gina B!

10:37am Gina Bacon:

It's me! It's me! It's me! Haha!

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

And howdy, sweet Marie and dear fleep!

10:37am Gina Bacon:

The world needs more trombones, I say.

10:38am Jeff Golick:

Jimmy Knepper is just a fun name to say out loud. Everyone, on three: one...two...three! JIMMY KNEPPER.

🥁

10:39am Artie:

I've got my kneppers all in a twist!

10:39am Uncle Michael:

I think Brother Wayne has a marlin hooked and Sonic, a sailfish.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

One week from today is the 16th anniv. of Knepper's death.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of jazz, I learned recently that MC5 lead singer Rob Tyner (née Derminer) took the last name in tribute to then Coltrane pianist McCoy Tyner.

10:42am Jeff Golick:

Well, Knepper's Death isn't nearly as fun to say.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Knepper's Death was (say it with me) the name of my first band in high school.

🥁

10:43am Brian in UK:

Whereas Nipper was the name of the dog on HMVs logo.

10:44am Uncle Michael:

And RCA's...which was first?

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Our Lord and Savior is on bass clarinet here.

10:44am Listener Gregory:

Knepper is the musician that Charles Mingus punched in the mouth on the bandstand. Mingus also sent a package of heroin to Knepper's house and then alerted the narks that it was coming. Yet, by all accounts he was a very quiet, nice guy.

10:44am Marie:

loving this tune

10:45am Uncle Michael:

HMV first.

10:45am fleep:

Is it too early for a jazz cigarette?

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Richard Wyands on piano here. (George Duvivier on bass here, and on the previous A.K. Salim track.)

10:46am David D:

The good stuff!

10:46am Marie:

"Jazz Cigarette"--great name for a band

🥁

10:47am Brian in UK:

Think HMV was in the Twenties.

10:47am Hopey Sockmonkey:

And it's never too early

10:48am Funky16Corners:

I love the story about Mingus briefly joining Ellington’s band, and getting into a knife fight with Juan Tizol. Duke took him aside and said he had to let him go. “Juan is an old problem. You’re a new problem. I don’t need any new problems.”

10:48am David D:

I was referring to the music by the way.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Good to see you, David D! Happy to see you, Hopey Sockmonkey!

10:48am Jeff Golick:

I don't know this Lee Morgan record! Jeez, '66 with Jackie and Mobley!

🥁

10:49am Brian in UK:

Could call it Jazz Fag but we call cigarettes, fags as in rhyming slang Harry Rag = Fag. I believe that it has a different meaning on your side.

10:49am Jeff Golick:

(Though the cover is very "Liberty-years Blue Note," not Reid Miles.)

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Recorded in '66, but not released until much later. 1969 or maybe even early '70s.

10:51am Uncle Michael:

Reid Miles and Saul Bass were related...even if they weren't.

10:52am Jeff Golick:

No one could turn it around like Billy Higgins.

10:52am Jeff Golick:

I'm just staring into space, smiling.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

No one had a more fitting nickname. Smiling Billy Higgins. Always with the grin, that beautiful brother!

10:53am Jeff Golick:

(I am not, however, Billy Higgins.)

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Few people are, Jeff Golick.

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Bennie Maupin, on loan from Elton John, on tenor sax here. That is a lie. Not the he's on tenor part. The other part.

10:58am Listener Gregory:

You had better listen.

🥁

10:58am Brian in UK:

This is what jazz fellows call cookin', I believe.

🥁

11:00am Brian in UK:

Doug, funny you should write that.
www.billboard.com...

11:01am Listener Gregory:

@Doug: Yes, and Jimmy Owens and Kenny Baron are the Jets.

11:03am Mr C:

Great set.

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Doris Ebong is channeling her inner George Clinton.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

I'm thinking of starting a perfume line. Ebong Water.

11:15am Listener Gregory:

"Monger" is almost never used in a good way any more.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

There's something fishy about that comment, Listener Gregory.

11:16am Listener Gregory:

It's a bit cheesy.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Groovemonger!

11:18am Jeff Golick:

I dunno, it makes me eel good.

11:19am Listener Gregory:

I don't know if "Ebong Water Monger" is going to look good on Doug's resumé.

11:19am Jeff Golick:

(Oops, I think I confused my mongers with my congers.)

🥁

11:22am Brian in UK:

We used to have costermongers and ironmongers years ago.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

You make me feel mighty eel!

11:23am Dean:

The entry for "monger," the noun, in OED is fascinating. In fact, derogatory usages emerged in the 16th century. This illustration from Robert Burns in 1786 is too good to ignore: "Send Willie the monger to hell with a smack." It wasn't until the 20th century that the word was deployed as a verb, e.g., this from Anthony Burgess: "Not even Hedda Hopper could monger scandal in her regard."

11:24am Listener Gregory:

According to my dictionary, "monger" means both someone who sells a particular product and someone who engages in a disreputable activity (like gossip monger or warmonger). Strange that the neutral meaning turned into something derogatory.

11:25am fleep:

The Monger You Know™

11:25am chresti:

Selling a bill of goods

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

This Mary Afi Usuah track sounds crazy like Fontella Bass singing Les Stances a Sophie.

11:26am Listener Gregory:

There's no "peace monger" or "justice monger." I guess they're not for sale.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

GTDS listeners are a edumacated bunch!

11:27am Dean:

Maybe not so strange when you consider that the neutral activity -- participating in a market as a provider of goods -- has also taken on derogatory shadings.

11:29am chresti:

nice transition there

11:29am Dean:

Ha! A great illustration from 1548: "Foule priestes.., and holy water mongers, daylye peruertinge the ignoraunt people."

🥁

11:29am Brian in UK:

Oh and fishmongers

11:29am still b/p:

Making a short visit here at the Monger Games between the day's commitments elsewhere, and this is already so reliably, set-the-bar-highably, sweet-by-and-byably good.

Derogatory Shadings was the name of...etc.etc.

11:30am Dean:

There's Megadeth's Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?

11:30am Uncle Michael:

Please join me for episode #300 of Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour...if the Internet holds (serious concern).

www.wfmu.org...

11:31am Uncle Michael:

And I'll have what Wayne's having.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, still b/p! You mongrel you!

11:34am chresti:

So sweet.

🥁

11:36am Brian in UK:

Roughly tranlating mongrel into French is metisse sounds so much better, someone of mixed race.

11:36am Michael 98145:

nice set

11:36am chresti:

Is Wayne the one snuffing milk?

11:37am Jeff Golick:

Wayne is spinning and splitting.

11:38am chresti:

Ah!

11:39am Mark R:

Oh man, the MC motherfucking 5! That's at Tartar Field on the campus of Wayne State University, downtown Detroit.

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

@Michael 98145
Glad you dig it!

@Marc R
You speak the truth!

11:41am Jeff Golick:

Now Wayne is reeling in a...was it a sailfish, @UM?

11:41am Mr C:

Where did this come from?? On Verve (with Howard Tate)! Crazy..

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

Wayne is a busy man.

11:43am Mark R:

I believe Wayne is the lone surviving member. He gave an excellent interview to Marc Maron on Marc's podcast a couple years ago.

11:43am Nathan Hale:

I only regret that I have but two GIFs of the MC5 to give for the listeners.

11:46am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Keep your anchors dropped and your poop deck unswabbed. Uncle Michael is NEXT with episode #300 of HINKY DINKY TIME. Let him take you on a three-hour tour. A three-hour tour.

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:47am chresti:

Looking at the crowd, I imagine a young Mike Kelly and Jim Shaw in there

11:49am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

"Breaking my back, yeah!"

11:49am Uncle Michael:

Marlin, Jeff.

11:50am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Be sure to tune in to D:O Radio on Sunday morning with your host Marlin Jeff!

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Doug, I would like to say thank you, so I will. THANK YOU.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
From the top of my bottom, you're most welcome!

11:53am chresti:

Thanks Doug! Thanks for the spinning and snuffing!

11:53am Jeff Golick:

That's Tilapia Jeff to you, Doug.

11:54am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the tunes, Doug. See you all in room 300.

11:54am Uncle Michael:

Tilapia: chicken of the sea

11:55am Stanley:

I need this show.
Thanks Doug.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

The time I spent you all is happy time. I am grateful.

🥁

11:56am Brian in UK:

Jeff G, is that for Gurnard?

11:58am Jeff Golick:

I don't think so, @Brian, but it's all fenugreek to me.

11:59am Dean:

You can tuna radio, but you can't...

11:59am Jeff Golick:

@Doug! Thanks for the jamz!

🥁

12:00pm Brian in UK:

I would like to see that in Whiting.

12:00pm Alex In Illinois:

Good show. Been listening but too busy to comment.

12:01pm Listener Gregory:

Wow, did you speed up the clocks? I thought we had 15 more minutes, at least. Thanks a lot, Doug.

🥁

12:01pm bobdc:

Another great show! (Note to self: listen to more Fairuz.)

12:02pm Hopey Sockmonkey:

Thanks, Doug!

12:03pm GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Love you all! Thanks for the honor of serving you the heavy heavy funk!
