Morning!

Fri. 5/9/08 9:09am From: kim

i like the ahhhaahahaha and woahooahohoh stuff so much

Fri. 5/9/08 9:23am From: Vivian

Morning Doug:

Shall we expect an Eddy Arnold set at some point during the show?

Fri. 5/9/08 9:28am From: Doug

VIv, That would be a reasonable thing to expect -- but no! No memorials today. Just didn't feel it. No disrespects to Mr. Arnold, of course.

Fri. 5/9/08 9:34am From: paul in u.k

great sunny afternoon music.thanks Doug

Fri. 5/9/08 9:36am From: dlroth

morning doug!

got any luther thomas?

Fri. 5/9/08 9:40am From: ?

No offense takin'. Enjoying this morning's set. I'm thinking today's show will be the background music while I work on the downstairs bathroom.

Fri. 5/9/08 9:40am From: mike

Concerning Luz Y Fuerza, and to quote from the Monk tv show episode when he goes down to Mexico: "Drugs, it's always the drugs..." Nice cover though.

Fri. 5/9/08 9:40am From: Doug

Diroth,
Luther Thomas! I didn't bring any with me, but I will run into the library and see if anything fits what I've got coming up. I'll say it again: Luther Thomas!

Fri. 5/9/08 9:41am From: Vivian

Whoops! 'Fessin up, I'm the Question Mark.

Fri. 5/9/08 9:44am From: andreas

sunny berlin thanks, too!

Fri. 5/9/08 9:49am From: Cecile

Luther Thomas! Funky Donkey!

Right? The B.A.G. Luther Thomas?

Human Arts Ensemble would be cools, too.

Fri. 5/9/08 9:56am From: fred

Doug, thanks for that Screaming Jay Hawkins cut. He's so often put on display as a kind of freak -- he had some part in this -- it's refreshing to see someone remember his other sides.

Fri. 5/9/08 9:56am From: Hugo

Yes, the BAG and the HAE are definitely cool. Didn't the Unheard Music series on Atavistic rerelase the Funky Donkey album recently?

Fri. 5/9/08 9:59am From: Cecile

Yes, about 7 or 8 yrs ago. Great stuff.

Fri. 5/9/08 10:14am From: James

Doug, for someone who always rocks the proverbial house, you are REALLY rockin' the house today... must get my hands on that Savannah Churchill track!!!

Fri. 5/9/08 10:25am From: dc pat

Interesting take on the Hill's persistence. Maybe you're right, but something in her face makes me think it's beyond anything reasonable.

Fri. 5/9/08 10:45am From: dlroth

YEEEE HAWWWWWWWW

Fri. 5/9/08 10:45am From: GUMBY

Kitty, Hank pain pouring out the speakers, rain pouring down out my office window. Ah, perfect misery.

Fri. 5/9/08 10:46am From: Bad Ronald

Yes, YEE HAW indeed!

Fri. 5/9/08 10:50am From: raissa

jimmy giuffre to hawkins and hawkshaw- why don't more people dj like this!? thanks doug!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:00am From: Doug

Hey gang,
Here's a link to my latest blog post:

Tons of great gospel MP3s for dowloading. Enjoy!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:00am From: Mark

Morning Doug... Just tuning in now. Thanks for playing Mr. Neil!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:04am From: rob

lovely snock song from my favorite hurley lp

Fri. 5/9/08 11:06am From: Hugo

Gosh, I've got that one by Hurley. There was another one from about the same time featuring Hurley and the Unholy Modal Rounders and more, called "Have Moicy". Fun stuff.

Fri. 5/9/08 11:06am From: Doug

James,
It looks like that Savannah Churchill record is available for download here:

Hallelujah!!! TX Doug.

Fri. 5/9/08 11:09am From: Mark

Souled American.... Thank you

Fri. 5/9/08 11:12am From: jonathan

man, this song is so dreamy and lazy and great!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:17am From: Jim

oh man, some fine bill fay, just what San Francisco called for.

Fri. 5/9/08 11:18am From: Matt

Just when I thought this set couldn't get better you go and play Bill Fay! Awesome!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:18am From: Cecile

I am glad everyone else is digging this.
I am personally looking forward to some ear-shredding, adrenalin-pumping, spirit-lifting FIRE MUSIC.

Fri. 5/9/08 11:18am From: jim

Doug, don't know if something like Arthur Russell's world of Echo fits into your universe here (I think it should), but there is a lot of renewed interest in AR at the moment - a new documentary film is screening @ the kitchen, and the Kitchen itself is having some mini weekend retrospective of russell, etc.

Fri. 5/9/08 11:19am From: Hugo

Nice set of songer-songwriters there. Maybe we'll have some of my faves from the old days: Roy Harper and Kevin Coyne. Not yer average English gentlemen!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:20am From: Cecile

oooh, liquid liquid!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:24am From: Doug

Jim,
I am a late but devoted convert to the Church of Russell. How perfect is it that the documentary is premiering at The Kitchen. I guess the Mudd Club wasn't available,

Fri. 5/9/08 11:27am From: Hugo

Ah, so that's where Dave Mandl got his show title!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:31am From: Hugo

Always fine to hear some South-African on the show. I was listening last night to Johnny Mbizo Dyani's "Grandmother's Teaching" where he got to demonstrate his considerable talents as a very expressive vocalist on the title track! Stirring!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:39am From: Listener Dave from NH

The tough part about Arthur Russell (for me) can be figuring out all the aliases that he recorded under. I was listening to Dinky's Resident Advisor podcast from a month or so ago and thinking that the track by Indian Ocean that opened up the mix sounded a heck of a lot like Arthur Russell and, sure enough, it was him.

Fri. 5/9/08 11:41am From: john in chicago

maybe its the coffeeeee, but this could be the best set ever?

Fri. 5/9/08 11:42am From: reid

what was that phone recording? was that real?

Fri. 5/9/08 11:45am From: Doug

I'm guessing that the phone call bit was a parody presented on some "morning zoo" type radio show in South Africa. Despite the hilarity, the subject matter is devastating.

We all have the exalted Listener Hugo to thank for sending that one in (too).

Fri. 5/9/08 11:49am From: g

Doug (or anyone else),

Have you checked out one of the other Benin-specific afro-funk comps ("Kings of Urban Groove" or something like that)? Does it sound like this? If so, I gotta check that too . . .

Fri. 5/9/08 11:49am From: James

Thanks Doug! I got my grubby little hands on that Savannah Churchill download!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:53am From: Doug

G,
Are you talking about the T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo "Kings of Benin"? FANTASTIC!!

Fri. 5/9/08 11:55am From: g

think that's it. I will check. thx

Fri. 5/9/08 11:55am From: Ted from Baltimore

Crap, I wanted that African Scream Contest track to last the rest of the day. Thanks for another great show Doug.

Fri. 5/9/08 12:01pm From: Ike

Damn, I missed the African scream contest. That's what I get for going to the bathroom and spending time sabotaging the building maintenance Nazis' attempts to keep the bathroom doors locked at all times for no reason whatsoever. (There's already too much security for any bums to get in.)

Fri. 5/9/08 12:05pm From: Hugo

Yeah, the T.P. Polyrythmo comp is also out on the Soundway label (with the Nigeria comps).

As for the fake phone call, I got it from a colleague who got it from an acquaintance in Mozambique who got it from ... you know the story ...
