Listener comments!

Fri. 9/5/08 9:04am From: PG

Top of the morning to you Doug. Hello listeners. It's gonna be a great one today.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:08am From: gumby

Horn love right off the bat, NICE! That McCain really looked like a creepy Max Headroom with that plain backdrop behind him.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:10am From: Paul Sherratt

I think I've timed that coffee just right ... or left.
Good morning, afternoon, evening, to music lovers everywhere.

Yes, even there!

Fri. 9/5/08 9:11am From: gumby

Hey Obama should call his campaign The Turnaround then he could play the Hank Mobley record all the time while he's speaking.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:11am From: GP

A palindromic morning to PG....this could get confusing.
And another thanks for the horns Doug! Morning all.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:17am From: annie

pop quiz... second cup or first cup of coffe, which is tastier?

Fri. 9/5/08 9:17am From: El Thatchmo

El T. ,chillin' in the hizzie, burnin' trees and cookin' eggs. Give me some more on a late summer's day!

Fri. 9/5/08 9:19am From: Parq

First cup, second or third sip.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:19am From: dc pat

I'll go w/ Parq--first cup... just like the first beer after work.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:20am From: annie

word

Fri. 9/5/08 9:20am From: Doug

I rarely start the show with longerish cuts, so I have the time to bang out: MORNING Y'ALL!

OK, back to the Select-O-Matic...

Fri. 9/5/08 9:21am From: annie

raising my second tasty cuppa at ya doug..

Fri. 9/5/08 9:21am From: Paul Sherratt

From a distance ( don't worry I'm not going start singing ) I get the feeling that an act of cleansing is taking place.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:23am From: Bad Ronald

Morning folks!

Each beer gets progressively tastier than the previous...

Fri. 9/5/08 9:24am From: annie

see, the first beer after working in the garden is the tastiest..

Fri. 9/5/08 9:29am From: GUMBY

Whoaa caps lock. I vote fo rthe third beer or third cup of coffee because those are the ones that start to make the nonsense disappear.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:30am From: gumby

Although this 4th horn love song, is just the trick on this fine morning.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:30am From: dc pat

there's something about a first sip that replenishes the soul

Fri. 9/5/08 9:31am From: annie

it's the reassurance that life is indeed good..

Fri. 9/5/08 9:33am From: GP

A beer that I can't get here, but terribly miss is
Yuengling, funny name, but a great beer to drink after a hot day working in the yard or garden.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:35am From: El Thatchmo

My revolution has been decaffeinated for years, so I shan't vote. Does that make me square? I know not yet.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:35am From: PG

I get confused because I never know quite when to switch from the coffee to the beer. I know there's the noon rule but that seems arbitrary, frankly.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:35am From: annie

black and tan for me, yuengling is my son's fave

Fri. 9/5/08 9:35am From: gumby

Yeungling says they are the oldest operating brewery in US. Where is here GP?

Fri. 9/5/08 9:35am From: GP

Doug, more Sitar please!!

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

Gumby, the land of Shiner Bock...Texas

Fri. 9/5/08 9:38am From: Bad Ronald

Yes, the Yuengling Back and Tans are tasty!

Fri. 9/5/08 9:38am From: ? Texas Songwriter

"There's a girl in her barefeet, asleep in the backseat and the trunk is full of Shiner Bock & Lone Star."

Fri. 9/5/08 9:39am From: annie

is that a james mcmurtry line? i love his songs..

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

Robert Earl Keen nut I don't know if originally wrote it.

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

Hey Annie, do they still have Utica Club? beer up there in upstate NY?

Fri. 9/5/08 9:42am From: GP

< but I don't know if he originally wrote it>

Sheesh..need to remember the editor

Fri. 9/5/08 9:42am From: annie

oh yeah... and genesee too

Fri. 9/5/08 9:43am From: GP

I tried some Genesee Cream Ale and liked it

Fri. 9/5/08 9:43am From: annie

we have ommegang brewery here and boy are the beers great

Fri. 9/5/08 9:44am From: Bad Ronald

Newcastle Brown!

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

Rutger's Pub (1980) = 64 oz pitchers of Genny Cream for $1.75 from 8-9 everynight. WHOOO-HOOO! It's a miracle I graduated.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:45am From: Bad Ronald

The Dog

Fri. 9/5/08 9:45am From: annie

when i buy beer, which is rare, i get the saranac mix six-pack. and henry weinhart's private reserve!!

Fri. 9/5/08 9:46am From: Paul Sherratt

Those words are by a pal, Terry Allen, one of the finest etc etc.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:47am From: annie

thanks paul...

Fri. 9/5/08 9:47am From: gumby

That's right, on the live album. Robert Earl Keen says "this is a Terry Allen song" Gringo Honeymoon by Robert Earl Keen may be the greatest song ever written. (In my not so humble opinion)

Fri. 9/5/08 9:51am From: GP

Saw Robert Earl Keen at the Rodeo in Houston..He was the only artist that the real cowboys, girls, stayed around to listen to. Even though the sound was terrible, it was one of the most energetic concerts I have been to.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:52am From: annie

can i find him in pandora?

Fri. 9/5/08 9:55am From: PG

Oh, Los Yorks are amazing.

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

I too heart this Los Yorks sonic breakdown.

Fri. 9/5/08 9:57am From: GP

Annie,
Don't know..might have to search on it. I can't listen to very much at the office..WFMU still sneaks in under the radar...Thank you stealth technology; who knew FMU was so advanced)

Fri. 9/5/08 9:58am From: annie

i'll check it out when i have time.. perhaps it means making a new station for cowboy songs..

Fri. 9/5/08 10:00am From: gumby

I don't know if Texas is even big enough for all the great songwriters they have there. Must be something in the water. BR Newcastle is tasty, wish I had one now.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:00am From: GP

Wonderful set here Doug...this Sachos song is nice.

10-4 on that Annie..REK is really more of a Texas singer than anything else, not really considered mainstream country. One of his college roomates iand still best friend is Lyle Lovett.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:01am From: stingy d

utica club definitely exists!

Fri. 9/5/08 10:02am From: annie

way cool.. just found rek on youtube.. will definitely make a station for that genre

Fri. 9/5/08 10:03am From: Bad Ronald

Me too Gumby! (Homer Simpson drool gurgle sound)

Fri. 9/5/08 10:03am From: stingy d

do you guys know the utica club natural carbonation band?

Fri. 9/5/08 10:04am From: annie

unheard of in my realm..

Fri. 9/5/08 10:04am From: Paul Sherratt

Short Public Service Announcement.
That Terry Allen song, " Amarillo Highway " is off the remarkable ( understates..) album " Lubbock On Everything " available, still, on your Sugar Hill Records.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:04am From: gumby

My dad would always stop in a little butcher shop in Phonecia to get his Utica Club on the way to my uncles trailer in Lanesville in the Catskills. Ah the mountains and rivers of my youth were neverending Gary Snyderesque. Thank You all for bringing that back to me.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:05am From: Parq

Doug, I prefer to think of FMU as the oddball, uncooperative neighbor who all the "nice" people on the block wish would move.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:05am From: PG

The great thing and the troubling thing about Doug's show is that one feels compelled to buy everything played which one does not yet own.

"Lubbock on Everything" is a masterpiece.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:06am From: annie

gumby, i love it up here and travel to the hudson as often as possible.. perhaps i'll move ther for real sometime.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:07am From: annie

hey doug how about jerry jeff?

Fri. 9/5/08 10:09am From: stingy d

if you scroll down you can hear the utica club natural carbonation band sing "utica club natural carbonation band beer song"

looks like you can download it too.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:10am From: stu

whi is everyone on the station ignoring Jerry Reid, who died earlier this week? how disappointing...

Fri. 9/5/08 10:10am From: stingy d

i grewed up in utica.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:10am From: GP

Gumby, you just set the opening scene for a novel or a movie with that descirption. i can smell the sawdust on the floor of that butcher shop.

PG...how true that is. If I could afford every artist I bookmarked.....I'd need to be running a hedge fund or something!

Stingy D..how cool is that, reminds of the NuGrape stuff.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:11am From: gumby

Joe had a whole johnboatload of Jerry Reed yesterday on Three Chord. It was wonderful.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:12am From: stingy d

ther'e also a ton of utica club beer commercials with shucltz and dooley on youtube that are pretty wacky and worth a look.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:12am From: annie

stingy, i'm in oneonta.. been my home since i was a teen..

Fri. 9/5/08 10:12am From: stingy d

dooley

Fri. 9/5/08 10:13am From: Bad Ronald

Yeah Joe B rose to occasion!

Fri. 9/5/08 10:13am From: stu

hey gumby - thanks for the jerry reid info

Fri. 9/5/08 10:14am From: stingy d

sure the oneonta yankees... buncha rapscallions
i'm in brooklyn nowadays

Fri. 9/5/08 10:15am From: annie

word up. bad news... it's the oneonta tigers now and the naders are thinking of seeling once again.. even after all the work done on damasche field

Fri. 9/5/08 10:16am From: gumby

Hey stu - when I'm hot, I'm hot, when I'm not, I'm not and you said, thanks a lot.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:19am From: stingy d

i like tigers better than yankees...
the utica blue sox however completely cease to exist. same goes for the utica devils.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:20am From: annie

i have always liked the minors anyway. they play for playing not for money

Fri. 9/5/08 10:22am From: GOD

You tell 'em Vernon!

Fri. 9/5/08 10:23am From: stingy d

i dunno... i don't really think much of baseball, i like minor league logos and team names better, i am a basketball looney.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:24am From: PG

Agreed Annie, the minors are a whole lot of fun, but I think it's a little simple to say Major Leaguers are only in it for the money. I mean, they do LOVE playin.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:25am From: annie

yeah, you're right... i just wish the money did less talking..

Fri. 9/5/08 10:27am From: GP

Word up Doug...I know it is cliche, but the saying "What would Jesus Do" is probably the EXACT opposite of a foaming at the mouth hate speech (c.f. Rudy Guliani).

Fri. 9/5/08 10:28am From: PG

It's a conundrum, Annie, because I think free agency is a good thing for players, but it does lead to bloated salaries.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:28am From: annie

it disturbed me to hear them spew such hate and derision..and it gets bitten hook, line and sinker by the conservative right.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:29am From: gumby

For all there rap about God. It seems many of these politicians think they are it. (Is God an it or a he/she, I'm not too good at the religion nomenclature)

Fri. 9/5/08 10:29am From: stingy d

porfessional sports players, make a pittance compared to the owners. but without the players the owners have nothing. its give and take.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:30am From: annie

pg- word

Fri. 9/5/08 10:31am From: annie

nonethe less, i love to hear the sound of the ballfield on my way home from work.. very small-town stuff...

Fri. 9/5/08 10:32am From: PG

Whatever they're paying Doug he deserves to have his salary doubled.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:32am From: GP

Annie how do you say the name of your town,
is is One ( like the number 1) -onta, or is it
like Owne ( as in Own) - onta, or niether?

Ball field sounds = great small town

Fri. 9/5/08 10:33am From: stingy d

i recently got an african scream contest record. its pretty boss. more fuzzy than this. just freely associating.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:33am From: PG

Saw the Oneonta Tigers last week. Cyclones defeated 'em!

Fri. 9/5/08 10:34am From: annie

i used to have a delivery driver on friday afternoons for whom i played billy jam. he rocked getting the stuff off the truck..
pg- the season is alomost over right?

Fri. 9/5/08 10:34am From: gumby

minor league baseball is a great way to stay connected with the game. Nice imagry raised there Annie,
Doug is the Babe Ruth of the airwaves!

Fri. 9/5/08 10:38am From: Bad Ronald

Fri. 9/5/08 10:38am From: PG

Yeah, I think short season A ends this weekend.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:39am From: annie

the team stays here in town and they are such nice guys...

Fri. 9/5/08 10:40am From: GP

10-4..having a hard time with the Indian names...we have a lot of German place name here that do weird things with final vowels and such and also some Spanish names that are confusing to some. Sometimes it it the only way to tell if someone is from there by the way they pronounce the name of the place.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:41am From: Bad Ronald

like Houston TX vs Houston St.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:41am From: annie

well, the natives let you know right quickly how to pronounce it...

Fri. 9/5/08 10:43am From: stingy d

the dummy locals in utica pronounce "rutger street" as RUCK-TER STREAK ??
and everything they say is a question

Fri. 9/5/08 10:43am From: Doug

Gumby, I'd be happy if people thought of me as the Eddie Murray of the airwaves.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:43am From: stingy d

Doug - For your longevity, consistency and unflappability?

Fri. 9/5/08 10:46am From: PG

Doug is the Don Johnson of FMU.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:47am From: stingy d

doug is the hot tamale of street vendors!

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

Don't even want to try that one Annie! We have Bexar county which is actually pronounced BEAR, but I love it when say watching the Weather Channel they say BEXAR.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:52am From: gumby

GP Do you have big square headed cowboys named Otto down there, like Steve Earle said?

Fri. 9/5/08 10:53am From: gumby

Doug you be the Eddie Murray of the airwaves and I'll be the Barry Bonds of the posts, all doped up and full of myself.

Fri. 9/5/08 10:57am From: Parq

Ooh, Gumby, can I be Marty Feldman, can I, can I?

Fri. 9/5/08 10:58am From: annie

re:minor league baseball
Last night finished reading "Brittle Innings" a novel by Michael Bishop. Minor league baseball in the 1940's, and the first baseman is Frankenstein. Seriously! A great book.

Fri. 9/5/08 11:03am From: annie

Fri. 9/5/08 11:05am From: PG

Oh god, I can almost taste that first beer!

Sometimes I leave a radio on in this room even while the computer's serving nutritious free-form food. For some reason a little while ago, Lou Rawls "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" in a random mash-up with Orchestre Regional de Mopti...was swell! That is all.

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

this is radio swill

Fri. 9/5/08 11:10am From: Parq

Bzul, and you can still concentrate on your work? Y'gotta stronger mind than mine, champ.

Fri. 9/5/08 11:13am From: annie

i gotta get some room cleaning done here and move furniture.. have to stop every few seconds to read the posts.. .... positioning the monitor to the part of the room i'm in..

Fri. 9/5/08 11:13am From: gumby

Killer set Doug, but work calls. See ya's on the flip side!

Fri. 9/5/08 11:18am From: Clear Channel Corporation

You know what WFMU needs...MORE, no, make that some commercials to start with. That would be so nice. We also have these , how do the kids say it these days, killer, play lists that are sure to be a hit with your listening audience. Relax and let us take care of everything.

Fri. 9/5/08 11:29am From: bzul

Parq - If leaning with an unnatural twist toward this music source and then t' other, head cocked, ears twitchin', eyebrows rising and falling, jaw half-slack/half-grinning is still concentrating on my work...but I've done this surgery seven or eight times times before -- this guy'll by okay, I think.

re: oneonta tigers- little anectode about the boys of summer .. a collection of wandering radio nuts roaming the country following minor league base ball. they came into town and walked into my store asking if i had onions for hotdogs. it seems that the ballfieold didn't serve chopped onions with their hotdogs!! so i pulled an onion out chopped it up and zipped it in a bag, off they went.. happy.. small bit on the radio a few weeks later about that.. what fun..

Fri. 9/5/08 11:36am From: Doug

PG, there are a couple of new KA release coming out. One is a multi-disc anthology called "Songs for Insane Times." The other is a collection of unreleased private tapes called "What More Can I Say..." on Reel Recordings out of Dundas, Ontario. The track I played came from the second collection. Looky here:

"You're gonna Miss Me" is a great documentary...

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

Stingy, Good riddence, now at least they have room for some more condos which we all know are sorely lacking..
; )...ahem...well, at least that is the idea of planning in my town..and it totally sucks. Coney island is one place that I really wanted to see. I bought some Nathan's Finest hot dogs over the weekend on the recommendation of a co-worker..they were excellent but would have really liked to try them in their native environment.

Fri. 9/5/08 11:48am From: Parq

>>but I've done this surgery seven or eight times times before -- this guy'll by okay, I think.<<

Two points, Bz!
