Listener comments! | |

Fri. 5/23/08 9:08am
Parq:
Does anyone else find that the closing notes of Hatikva never sound quite right without the opening notes of Jujus following them? | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 9:14am
spaniel:
hello Doug and world. what a glorious AM. enjoying this opening set. i agree parq, high horn to low bass sounds nice. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 9:26am
Listener Dave from NH:
A little dub to get my Friday started? Don't mind if I do. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 9:27am
dc pat:
just what I wanted to hear today--caveman reggae | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 9:32am
Bad Ronald:
Give the summer some! | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 9:46am
Swami:
Get the blood pumpin'! Thats it. I'm leavin work early! | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 9:52am
Parq:
Then, Swami, head for the Knitting Fact and dig on Billy, Ken, Clay and the gang. Wish I could, but I'm stuck on a full day today. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 9:54am
GUMBY:
Samba Pa' TI - The ability to convey season and nature, breeze and waves through simply vibrating the air. Absolutely awe inspiring. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:03am
Paul Sherratt:
Caught part of a French tv documentary on the Coney Island finale, the other day. ( Bitter ) sweet. PS. Here's to the Mammoth Merenghi ! | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:04am
Zach in Philly:
"Over the Waves" and "William Tell Overture, Finale" have struck the summer chord in me. Normally, this is a season I dread, but these sounds remind me of what I do in fact dig about the all too warm months. Parq, right on about the closing and opening tracks! It's a segue supreme. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:08am
Doug:
I want this Lemarque thing to be playing anytime I'm walking somewhere. Can that be arranged? | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:09am
marionfrenchie:
boy! I want to go downtown right away and hop on one of the wood horses! | |
|

Nice color scheme today. Looks a bit autumnal but well-executed. | |

-Sen:
I'm just enjoying the music, thank you! | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:28am
Zach in Philly:
Wow & Woah Nelly! Bobby Lumpkin & the Kapers have nailed it! Are they from Bakersfield by any chance? | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:33am
frenchee:
wow, very metaphysical this morning, Doug! But it doesn't necessarily mean you consider your conscience a separate entity--after all, your heart is part of you and plenty of people say, "My heart is bothering me."... | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:36am
Hugo:
Oops, didn't catch the Lemarque. From which part of the movie is it? Well, I'll find out in due course. Playtime is wonderful (as are the four other Tatis) | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:39am
Doug:
Frenchee, You make a fine point. I will let my brain know (later, when it wakes up from its nap). | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:42am
GUMBY:
Doug enlightening as always. Never thought about actual people playing at the carousel. It must have been sweltering in wool uniforms, like a battlefield more than a carnival. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:43am
Paul Sherratt:
Hugo, Never mind all that stuff in the big galleries and museums. I've seen Mon. Hulot's tennis racket on display in Bexhill on Sea ! Give The Summer Some ! ( Ronald, B. ) And this fab David Murray has fetched the dog, Jim, in from the garden. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:46am
Doug Ypsilantis:
Sen is that you old friend? | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:46am
Bog:
Hi Doug, seem to me there is a "t" in "chant pour une nouvelle afrique du sud" "song for a new south africa" great tune greetings from Toulouse ... | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 10:51am
Doug:
Bog, I'm sure you are right. I just continued the typo I found here: http://tinyurl.com/46fmub | |

north guinea hills:
wow, i don't think i've heard doug play tony oxley before. i must now have been paying attentions | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:06am
Hugo:
AH, Karin Krog! Very much appreciated (but you knew that) | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:08am
Sean Daily:
Ah, I know the weekend's coming when I hear you, Doug. Very nice. | |

kent goldings:
Hey, is anyone else having trouble with the Windows 20 k stream? Mine has been shutting down repeatedly this morning. Thanks for all the awesome tunes this morning, Doug. Nothing says summer like free jazz! | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:12am
north guinea hills:
my realplayer stream wasn't working, so i had to use windows media | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:14am
Parq:
Yes, Kent, I'm having the same problem. It's aggravating because I don't even like WMP all that much, but I'm not allowed to install any new audio software on my work puter. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:15am
Swami:
My connect had been cutting out for milliseconds, but is fine now . . . similar issuewith Windows/Real Player | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:15am
marionfrenchie:
VLC is one the the best ways to go, rarely bugs with steaming, and FREE | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:16am
stev:
The realplayer stream has been working OK for me this morning. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:17am
marionfrenchie:
ahah, just read over my comment, and realized I spelled streaming into STEAMing. Ain't that soooooooo funny? Aaha | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:19am
kent goldings:
Thanks guys. Yeah, I have the same issue as some others around here - I'm at work and can only listen to the Windows stream... or should I say steam, marionfrenchie? | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:19am
Paul Sherratt:
marionfrenchie, No, this morning , it should definitely be ... steaming | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:22am
marionfrenchie:
psheeeeeeeeee tfuuupsheeeeee clac psheeeeeeeeee steaming it shall be! | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:24am
fishmonkeystew:
A steaming pile of VLC for the win! I too am a fan of VLC for both audio AND video. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:32am
Parq:
I've been thinking about Audiology for home. Any opinions? | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:34am
Swami:
Audiologists who pay home visits? I have a couple of referals for the Long Island area. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:45am
north guinea hills:
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh floating down the river on a tortoise listening to fahey, it doesn't get any better...! | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:49am
Hugo:
Ah, Jesse Winchester! Beautiful vibe to those early ones, particularly the first. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 11:53am
Madison Listener:
Hey, the most recent song is at the end of the list, but the page refreshes to the top! That's not right. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 12:02pm
Ike:
There MUST be some way to hack into work computers that prevent you from installing software on them, and force them to accept VLC or Winamp, or whatever. I hate being treated like a potential terrorist in my workplace. Fortunately they put Winamp on this computer, but I'm still being treated like a risk factor more than a human being, because I can't install FlashMute or other useful programs that would help me do my job more efficiently. | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 12:03pm
Paul Sherratt:
From: Parq Does anyone else find that the closing notes of Hatikva never sound quite right without the opening notes of Jujus following them? Parq, I'm quite sure that I used to ! Doug, that closing Dorothy Carter song definitely fulfils the criteria of " always leave them wanting more " | |
|
Fri. 5/23/08 12:04pm
marionfrenchie:
boy, I'm beating my wfmu record: been listening non-stop for 9 hours! Woow! Friday DJs rocked my day, and it's not even finished yet! | |
