Listener comments!

9:03am Phillippe Bastille:

Good morning Doug and everyone! Feels like Friday in here!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

There are some comfy cushions up front!

🥁

9:04am dutchtheo:

Aloha, what's up in the ukebox Doug. And thanks for the swag WFMU tee!!

9:05am Phillippe Bastille:

Pittsburgh! Please say you're not a Steelers fan! (Ravens season ticket holder here...)

9:08am Sem:

Sonic Epiphanies in Real Life was in the running for the name of my first band in high school.

Hello, Doug, the Some, the Many, the Few, and all.

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Phillippe Bastille! dutchtheo! Sem! And everyone!

9:09am Gina Bacon:

Morning, Doug and all!!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Phillippe Bastille
I am not so much a "fan" of the Steelers as I am a fan of maximum drama and weirdness. Which the Steelers have delivered plenty of recently.

Good morning, Gina!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

I hear the chimes! I hear the chimes!

🥁

9:13am dutchtheo:

Ah, get well soon, i'm doing the shingle dance now, better then doing the shingles vaccin side effect

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

I hope you mend soon, dutchtheo!

9:15am bigplanetnoise:

It’s very chimey in here.... good morning!

9:16am Fuzzy:

Hey, music -- all right!

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for chiming in, bigplanetnoise!

9:16am Phillippe Bastille:

@Doug Yeah, you've got that. I'm pretty laid back and like to have fun with the rivalry, but I know a lot of people who aren't. Sports are supposed to be fun, right?

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Phillippe Bastille
I subscribe to the position that baseball isn't life or death. It's waaay more important than that.

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Well howdy, Fuzzy! Allow me to scrunch-scrunch you under your chin.

9:18am Phillippe Bastille:

Not in Baltimore...

9:19am WR:

Hmmmm. Chimes. This Oliver tune which evolved from Lil Hardin's keyboard riff was the only one I easily recall. The chiming keyboard riff was Lil's signal to the boys in the band that break time was over. Chimes being related to bell or buzzer that was often used to signal time to workers and even like in school, the school bell.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Phillippe Bastille
Maryland is my home state. I have rooted for the Orioles forever. Now I just root for whoever is playing the Yankees.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

WR steps up with THE KNOWLEDGE! Thanks, mate!

9:22am WR:

Even on radio broadcasts the hour would be signaled by a "chime" and some had a chime riff for the network/ station identification.

9:24am Ramblin' Ray:

Greetings Doug and listeners.

9:25am davefromtoronto:

what a set! morning doug et al...

9:27am Phillippe Bastille:

@Doug that's cool. Where you from? I grew up in Brooklyn Park, just outside Annapolis now.

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

I grew up outside of DC. Started out rooting for the Senators, but switched to the Orioles after the Senators deserted me (for a second time) in '72.

9:28am Gina Bacon:

This Henry Brown is nice.

9:29am WR:

"Knowledge ", Haha! Speculation based on vaguely remembered comments and reading of liner notes. You are the one with the sounds which gathers us around like moths to the light.

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, Ramblin' Ray! Greetings, davefromtoronto!

9:31am Phillippe Bastille:

Ah. You'll have to say Hey to sphere if he drops in. He grew up in Rockville, I think

9:35am Listener Gregory:

Hi. Long-time listener, first-time chimer-in.

9:37am Listener Gregory:

Sorry to hear about your injection maladies, Doug. I've had friends who've had the shingles, though, and it sounds well worth avoiding, even at some cost.

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Yeah, the doc finally convinced me to go for it this time around. In 6 months I go back for shot #2. Good times!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

As I play these tracks, I have to face the reality that I would likely never play them if they were singing in English.

9:43am Jeff Golick:

Today's GIF is everything.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I am indeed rather proud of today's playlist image.

9:45am Listener Gregory:

Doug, I think we have to assume that each artist is the "Bob Dylan of X," where X = home country.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Doesn't he look Al Molinaro, the guy who played the cop on Happy Days?!

9:48am Phillippe Bastille:

This Itsutsu No Akai Fusen is amazingly soothing

9:48am Jeff Golick:

He does!

9:48am WR:

Yes Doug, these Japanese tracks are very mainstream. Cutesy late 60s pop. But good for me to practice my minimal language knowledge.

9:49am WR:

If you had the music videos for these tunes they are probably pretty campy.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
What about the bands we would describe as being the X of X where X is the band X, and the other X = home country?

9:51am Doug Schulkind:

As with many cheesy, campy Bollywood tracks, the production values are rather rich.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Mari Henmi is 19 years old here.

9:52am Webhamster Henry:

Tijuana Brass' Cultural Imperialism.

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

TBCI!

9:53am Listener Gregory:

Next week: A set of bands who are the X of X!

9:54am annie:

that face!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

From mariachi trumpets to countrypolitan twang.

annie!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Radio Algebra!

9:57am davefromtoronto:

this is the stuff they play when i'm shopping in chinatown in toronto!

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Reach over there and grab me some jiàngyóu, davefromtoronto!

10:03am davefromtoronto:

as soon as li bai gets his!

10:03am Mark R.:

Not to be a vidiot, but Al Molinaro actually played a cop on "The Odd Couple," he took over the malt shop from Arnold (the Japanese actor whose name escapes me) on "Happy Days."

10:06am Listener Gregory:

For Radio Algebra, there's a British band called "Add N to X," which I believe plays old synthesizers. Please add to setlist.

10:07am Gina Bacon:

Hahaha...thanks, Doug! Good Saturday tease!

10:08am WR:

Bronwyn's show is great. New must listen show for me.

🥁

10:09am dutchtheo:

Noriyuki "Pat" Morita was Matsuo "Arnold" Takahashi on Happy Days
Al Molinaro was Alfred "Al" Delvecchio the drive-in owner and cook of Arnold's Diner...

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Mark R & dutchtheo
I L O V E to be corrected. Thanks for fixing my Al Molinaro knowledge.

10:11am fleep:

The amazing depth and breadth of the collective knowledge greetings

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Gina Bacon
Your sublime show needs no cheap teaser. It is appointment listening!

🥁

10:11am dutchtheo:

But WHO is that uke player

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@fleep
Around here, we just refer to it as the A.D.B.C.K.G.

10:14am Listener Gregory:

This is new to me. Always exciting to hear a Dolphy I haven't heard before.

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

@dutchtheo
The ukelele player is Maso Rivera from Toa Alta, Puerto Rico. A musical virtuoso, Rivera wrote over 1,000 compositions for the Cuatro, Puerto Rico's national instrument. He was also a TV and radio star in his home country for half a century.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Playing a "Dolphy they haven't heard before" is one way a DJ earns his stripes.

10:17am WR:

My reaction as well about the Dolphy and scratching my head that Looking Ahead doesn't seem to be on either of the Prestige collections I have.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

And they called West Coast jazz "cool." This Curtis Counce group is EN FUEGO!

🥁

10:21am βrian:

Oh, it's the jazz song. I like the jazz song.

10:21am Listener Gregory:

@WR, I think Ken McIntyre is the leader, so those cuts might not have been available.

🥁

10:21am doctorjazz:

Hi. But of a sound issue on a finetrack. Vinyl problem?

🥁

10:23am dutchtheo:

Didn't know Maso Rivera. Read this about him: Puerto Rican Baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente presented him with one of his baseball bats. Upon Clemente's death in a plane crash in 1971, Rivera asked a local instruments luthier to assemble a cuatro out of that same bat, which he called "bate cuatro" (bat cuatro).

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Nope, doctorjazz. Something in the original recording. But it just doesn't matter. The music transcends the limitations of the lousy recording.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

@dutchtheo
Wow, I did not know that! Clemente is about as revered a human being here in Pittsburgh as there is.

10:26am Jeff Golick:

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

10:29am sinner:

May I make a request? Something in the key of Fm?

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Horace Silver's playing is one of the most perfect things in nature.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

His playing is surpassed by is composing. Remarkable.

🥁

10:31am βrian:

Doug, you got me hooked with Song for my Father.

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

Classic 1950s voicing here with the frontline horns. SO GOOD!

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Or otherwise known as The Motherlode.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

Or maybe Fatherlode.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

@sinner
Your wish is my devout obligation!

🥁

10:32am βrian:

Actually, that was Irwin, now that I think of it.

🥁

10:33am sinner:

Praise the Lode.

🥁

10:33am βrian:

You DJs and your neural networks!

10:33am Jeff Golick:

Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

10:35am Listener Gregory:

Johnny "Talkover" Hodges

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

I could quite possibly go to hell for the simple act of talking over Johnny Hodges.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
And I was quick to take credit. It's a nasty business, this radio business.

11:01am northguineahills:

Hadn't heard that Owen Gray before....

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

For those who were listening earlier.... more chimes!

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, dear northguineahills!

11:08am Listener Gregory:

It's not even midnight.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

It is somewhere, LG. Have another rum & coke.

🥁

11:15am Brian in UK:

What's happening boys and girls.

11:17am Listener Gregory:

I'm afraid that this music is waking me up.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Your presence is a gift, Brian in UK! And I won't return it (or pass it along to a relative).

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

The next selection is a real lulu. Literally.

11:24am coelacanth∅:

good morning Doug and drummer folk

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

There muat be a soul harmony group called the Chimes.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

G∅∅d m∅rning, to y∅u, coelacanth∅!

11:26am Listener Gregory:

I have just figured out how to make a ß and a Ø, so now I can reply to ßrian and ceolacanthØ at the same time! (Yes, I am avoiding an annoying work task...)

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK: www.discogs.com...

11:27am coelacanth∅:

haha hi Listener Gregory!

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

I just cut and paste, Listener Greg∅ry.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Does anyone under the age of 35 know what the term "cut-and-paste" is actually referring to?

11:28am coelacanth∅:

so i wonder if "Black Savage" is a reference to "brave new world"

11:29am Jeff Golick:

This slaps. As they say.

🥁

11:29am βrian:

@LG: ß ≠ β

11:30am Listener Gregory:

Dammit!

11:30am coelacanth∅:

do they not cut/copy and paste now? is there another way?

🥁

11:32am Brian in UK:

Doug, blackmail threats.

11:32am Listener Gregory:

11:32am coelacanth∅:

...or do you refer to cutting colored construction paper shapes and pasting them onto another piece of paper?
- if they don't still do that in kindergarden i'm going to cry.

11:34am Listener Gregory:

I tried to input your character, ßrian, and it came out as null. That is not a good sign.

11:35am Webhamster Henry:

Super Oprah:
www.supersoul.tv

11:35am coelacanth∅:

β is greek; ß, german?

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Superwebhamster!

11:36am Listener Gregory:

@coelacanthØ, yes, but how did you get the Greek to come out?

11:36am Webhamster Henry:

Yep coelocanthø .. also, ø is Norwegian, ö is Swedish (and German)

11:36am coelacanth∅:

Gregory, β = ∅?

11:37am coelacanth∅:

look up beta on wikipedia

11:38am Jeff Golick:

Love me some alt codes: www.alt-codes.net

11:38am coelacanth∅:

(you still have to copy/paste though)

11:38am Webhamster Henry:

ß is a ligature of Ss, but pronounced "ess tsett": "SZ".
SZ is "S" in Hungarian, but "Sh" in Polish.
This has been an Eastern European Moment.

11:40am Listener Gregory:

Yes, I pronounce the name "Ssrian."

11:41am coelacanth∅:

Jeff that makes me sing ♫! now i can finally ç and ì.
i ♥ it!
☻

11:43am rw:

Ha! This is so sad.

11:45am rw:

I mean the song. Not you guys. Good morning!

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

rw, have you met listener WR? You folks might just get along.

11:46am Listener Gregory:

@Jeff, apparently the alt code magic will not work on my Mac.

11:46am coelacanth∅:

haha rw!

11:46am Marie:

hey Doug and all, digging the grooves. It's some seriously froovy groovy. Happy Friday, man.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Happy Friday, Marie! Glad you checked in!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Coming up next on your 24-hour Drummer Stream, it's Bill Mac and ZZZZZZZero HOUR, filling in for Uncle Michael.

Here is Bill's playlist page:wfmu.org...

11:48am rw:

Doug, I think we have. Informally at least. Seems like good people.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

His (or her) thinking gets a little backwards at time, but we love him (or her).

🥁

11:51am Brian in UK:

This set could be Heartmelters vol 2.

11:51am coelacanth∅:

Gregory you can copy & paste them though right? that's all i'm doing. i doubt it works on my crackbook either.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Jesus what a gorgeous track. Lou Ragland, I love you.

11:53am Phillippe Bastille:

Thanks Doug. Catch ya next week!

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Peace & love, Phillippe Bastille!

11:54am Listener Gregory:

I think so... βrian. Yup! But I can make your Ø as alt-shift-o. Cutting and pasting is so... kludgey. It makes me feel dirty.

11:54am Listener Gregory:

Lou Ragland is inspiring.

11:54am rw:

A little copied and pasted sunshine: ☼

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I think a Volume Two might just have to happen.

11:55am coelacanth∅:

(i doubt the alt-code way works here that is; partly because my keyboard doesn't have a "numbers lock" option, as far as i know)

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Looks like I've got a couple of extra minutes, so I'm going to toss in the flip side of this wonderful Abraham Battat record. It's ever BETTER!

11:57am Listener Gregory:

It's flippin' great?

11:57am rw:

I just got Heartmelters Volume I in the mail with a bright orange beanie. Looking forward to taking both on a road trip to the desert this weekend!

11:57am coelacanth∅:

copying and pasting is cummerbund
i mean cumbersome

11:57am Stanley:

Toss it Doug!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@rw
You are all set for a fabulous weekend!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Commence tossing, baby!

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

Heartmelters is good listening whilst painting the hall.

11:59am coelacanth∅:

rw but you might throw some pants in the car, just in case

11:59am Jessie:

What a smoky voice. Almost makes me want to have a Marlboro.

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

I am kind of hearing Bob Dorough, no bad thing.

12:00pm Sem:

Been fun, Doug. Thx, and see you on the flipflop.

🥁

12:00pm dutchtheo:

Thanks Doug, great show, be on the mend soon!

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

If Mac is your OS, this is a great free unicode utility app:
earthlingsoft.net...

12:00pm Listener Gregory:

Good call, Doug. And great shØw, βy the way.

12:01pm Listener Gregory:

Thanks, βrian!

12:01pm coelacanth∅:

Thanks Doug!

12:01pm Ramblin' Ray:

Thanks for the nourishing notes Doug!

12:01pm Stanley:

Bill Mac is my OS

12:01pm rw:

coel, I'll be picking up some beer and flammables on the way. Who needs pants?

Thanks Doug!!

🥁

12:02pm Brian in UK:

Bill Mac is my OS.
