Thirst moment

Boo Hoo!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:07am From: HotRod

This 78s collection is FANTASTIC!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:09am From: zedprophfer

EVERYTHING doug plays is fantastic.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:15am From: El Thatchmo...

The radio show with the small town values and a global village playlist!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:16am From: Ken From Hyde Park

Yep...I'm often blasting the theme song as I drive into work. Going in late today so I can rake up a few leaves. Got to keep ahead of the leaves.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:17am From: dc pat

If I have to hear the word "folksy" one more time, I don't know what I'll do...

Fri. 10/3/08 9:18am From: HotRod

What did those leaves ever do to you?

Fri. 10/3/08 9:21am From: Bad Ronald

Leave the leaves aloooone!!!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:22am From: HotRod

Cafe! Now THIS is a Puerto Rican classic!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:24am From: Hugo

if not to say, fantabulous ...

Fri. 10/3/08 9:24am From: Parq

I hear ya, DC -- that, and g-less gerunds, and calling mothers "moms".

Fri. 10/3/08 9:25am From: bzul

Ever since Sarah winked at me last night, I feel funny...like my stem's gonna let go and I should be raked up, stuffed in a bag and left on the curb for pick-up. Or else like I should be mulched.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:26am From: dc pat

Oh, the g-less gerunds!! She's drivin' me nuts!!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:35am From: Hatch

Personally, I was surprised that she seems to know how to read. Based on what they were saying on cable news before the debate, I assumed she was illiterate.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:37am From: annie

i went to bed after the first half hour, how did the rest go?

Fri. 10/3/08 9:37am From: C

Was anyone else creeped out by the way she talked about oil and drilling?

Fri. 10/3/08 9:41am From: Parq

The pathetic thing is, the folksy stuff works. This is the sort of thing that convinced Americans eight years ago that Bush - Bush! - was all set to sit down and have a beer with them.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:41am From: gumby

This songs a mother plucker

Fri. 10/3/08 9:41am From: bzul

Illiterate, no -- but she sure never met a sentence fragment she didn't like....or toss, to make a light fragment salad.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:42am From: HotRod

DARN!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:44am From: gumby

I'd have a drink with Palin, but voting for her and creepy teeth is a whole 'nother matter. Those mother pluckers is loco!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:44am From: annie

parq, that's the scary part, like a beer and soccer will be our saving grace. just use words like folks, moms, and dropping g's at the end of sentences.. the emotional band-aid

Fri. 10/3/08 9:44am From: dc pat

Wait, is this THEE Johnny Burnette?

Fri. 10/3/08 9:45am From: Paul Sherratt

Ford Nix !
Hooray !!

Fri. 10/3/08 9:45am From: g

where to begin with that debate . . . but god damn, if it isn't hard to hate a good lookin'(g) woman. that said, I think Palin has a bright future . .. narrating infomercials or exercise videos. That nasally/raspy motivational speaker voice with the words coming out the side of her mouth! totally creepy.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:47am From: bzul

Ford Nix is fun Friday music.

If you dance to Ford Nix music, do you swing your pardon 'round?

Fri. 10/3/08 9:47am From: Paul Sherratt

Well over here it seems impossible to avoid seeing Mrs P. Does she originate from Stepford ?

Fri. 10/3/08 9:51am From: DeemerDave

In fairness, now you have to provide equal time to John Mcain.

Fri. 10/3/08 9:58am From: gumby

John Who? What's he running for something?

Fri. 10/3/08 9:59am From: Paul Sherratt

Mr Earl Taylor ... howdy neighbo(u)r !

Fri. 10/3/08 9:59am From: bzul

Running for Uber Maverick.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:03am From: Paul Sherratt

McCain has a strong UK presence.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:13am From: Cecile

Gimme a P! E! R! C! O! S! E! T!
what does that spell? No, seriously, I've been on it for five days, what does it -

zzzzzzz

Fri. 10/3/08 10:15am From: cecile

bzul, you mean "uber loose cannon crazy uncle"

Fri. 10/3/08 10:16am From: stingy d

cecile... what are you doing later?

Fri. 10/3/08 10:17am From: Cecile

uh, sleeping, watching Animal Cops, sleeping and then taking a nap.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:19am From: bzul

No, no, Cecile...he'll hear you! Oooh..Do not make him angry! Don't you know?

(Stingy - I was going to make a similar inquiry...but your cannon was looser.)

Fri. 10/3/08 10:20am From: stingy d

when you need someone to watch animal cops with you, just let me know.

and bz - i'm always ready to jump

Fri. 10/3/08 10:24am From: cecile

It's like that rock group Van Helsing said, "go ahead and jump"

Fri. 10/3/08 10:25am From: bzul

If the forementioned candidate was the lead singer, he'd be David Lee Wrath.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:27am From: Parq

Paul S, I'd love to tell you that what you're seeing on your local news doesn't accurately represent the US, but tragically, I fear it does.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:28am From: cecile

Doug, would you consider playing the Microscopic Septet if it makes aesthetic sense?

Fri. 10/3/08 10:29am From: Roger

I love your show, I've been listening to it for a long time. Something about this Jazz Doctors (whoever they are) song made me want to write and thank you. Keep it up.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:34am From: Doug

Roger,
I just nabbed this Jazz Doctors record recently. It was really hard picking a track because they are ALL that good. A real find. Glad you dug it.

Cecile,
I would love to add the Microscopics to my playlist... but not today. I've got one more cut in this set lined up and I gotta play it cause it leads in nicely to the following set. You'll see. I promise.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:34am From: stingy d

i want pills

Fri. 10/3/08 10:37am From: GP

A folksy mornin (dropped g..even) to ya dc pat and to everyone else.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:38am From: cecile

I defer to your curatorial wisdom, Doug.
All God's children want pills, stingy. I got blessed, and all I had to have was knee surgery. Whoo hoo!

Fri. 10/3/08 10:43am From: dc pat

I was right, I didn't know what to do...

Fri. 10/3/08 10:43am From: cecile

MINGUS is always the right answer.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:43am From: Bad Ronald

Gimme Back My Roofies!!!

Fri. 10/3/08 10:43am From: stingy d

i'm gonna jump off something - not too high - and fall... shall we say awkwardly. either that or i am gonan go have a talk with a guy i know who is in a world of pain so to speak.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:48am From: stingy d

nudnik!

Fri. 10/3/08 10:53am From: stingy d

wow this sarah palin winking thing.... i'm swayed.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:54am From: GP

stingy d
She had me at "drill baby drill"
dc pat: just dance, that is what to do

Fri. 10/3/08 10:55am From: stingy d

i think i am gonna change my name to judge mills.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:58am From: Parq

Do the Jazz Doctors take Oxford? I'm willing to go with a $5 co-pay on CDs and $12 on live gigs.

I've got papers on my desk where someone keeps saying "mom" instead of "mother", as in "this is about a single mom". Gahh.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:58am From: stingy d

nah forget it

doug your knowledge and sets are always very impressive and highly apprecited, you are a good explaina

-judge mills

Fri. 10/3/08 10:59am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Fri. 10/3/08 10:59am From: Parq

Annnd, there's a great set of Autumn-themed downloads, including several versions of "Autumn Leaves", on the Locust Street blog.

Fri. 10/3/08 11:00am From: cecile

AH -MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Fri. 10/3/08 11:01am From: GP

Ray Scott...preach it my brother

Fri. 10/3/08 11:01am From: Paul Sherratt

Mingus has been the subject of " Composer of the Week " on BBC Radio 3, this. The 5 episodes should be available to hear on " Listen Again " in the US ( for just a wek after the original broadcast )

You can find the links here :

If they don't work - hugo will know how to break in and enter. 'Listenergate, y'all'

Fri. 10/3/08 11:02am From: g

Ray is righteous. If only he could be saying 'she' instead of 'he'

Fri. 10/3/08 11:04am From: Hugo

back door man, Paul?

Fri. 10/3/08 11:10am From: Paul Sherratt

Back Door Man indeed hug ( who folks, this week has enabled some at the BBC to listen to their own progammes again ... )


This gospel sequence - ooooff ! pow !!

Fri. 10/3/08 11:12am From: Paul Sherratt

You don't mind if I call you you 'hug' do you you hugo ?

( Must do something about these screen settings .. )

Fri. 10/3/08 11:12am From: GP

stingy d how about just settling for Judge Reinhold?

P.S.: Lovin the Gospel sounds.

Fri. 10/3/08 11:12am From: ?

doug, is any or all of this gospel stuff blogged?

Fri. 10/3/08 11:13am From: gumby

this stuff makes even an atheist feel the spirit.
AMEN!

Fri. 10/3/08 11:15am From: Paul Sherratt

" When in doubt, head for the gospel sequence ! "

Fri. 10/3/08 11:19am From: Hugo

Paul, no problem. In my language, that word has an entirely different meaning ...

at Doug's place, it's always a short distance from the "yee-haw" set to the "hallelujah" set and a thrill to hear the gospel from Ralph Stanley, as it were ...

should be some Louvins in there to tie it all up, wouldn't you say, Paul?

Fri. 10/3/08 11:26am From: paul b

Now when you say 'Rochester' like that, is that some kind of Jack Benny reference?

Fri. 10/3/08 11:30am From: Doug

Paul B,
Sure sounded like it, didn't it?

Fri. 10/3/08 11:31am From: Parq

What a shame this is radio, or Doug could do one of those Benny takes with the hand on the chin.

Is the comment column flashing yellow for anyone else out there?

Fri. 10/3/08 11:38am From: Sean Daily

No, Parq, that's just the acid kicking in. Take some vitamin B12 and lie down. You're in a safe place, dude. You're in a safe place.

Fri. 10/3/08 11:39am From: GP

Parq, apparently your threat level has increased to yellow...no blinkin on ths end.

Fri. 10/3/08 11:39am From: Hugo

Papa Lightfoot, an old favourite, heard on the national radio about 1968 .... aah, memories, I don't recall having heard it ever since (until now, that is)

parq, no, I don't think Doug is doing a psychedelic set today ...

Fri. 10/3/08 11:41am From: i am dj'ng tonight

judge mills!

Fri. 10/3/08 11:42am From: i mean tomorrow

Fri. 10/3/08 11:42am From: Parq

Hmm. Either my browser is going bazoo or I am. Unless Sean is right. I'm not here, I'm over there, my hair is green, I'm a tree.

Fri. 10/3/08 11:42am From: Sean Daily

Seriously, though, I'm getting it, too. So your computer probably isn't going to blow up or anything. Wait a minute, what's this smoke coming out of my compu

Fri. 10/3/08 11:43am From: bzul

Yes, when it updates, it's givin' me the jaundiced Palin wink, too.

Fri. 10/3/08 11:44am From: Cecile

prcoset kiking in...

Fri. 10/3/08 11:45am From: Ike

I don't see any blinking in either Firefox or Google Chrome. What browser(s) are you using? Internet Exploder?

Fri. 10/3/08 11:45am From: Jonathan Marx

From down here in Music City USA, thanks for that bit of Nashville soul courtesy of Herbert Hunter.

Fri. 10/3/08 11:53am From: Kenzo

I sometimes get the blinky blinky, too. It's momentarily showing Doug's background color (which is kinda yellow) before showing Doug's background image (which is something darker).

Fri. 10/3/08 11:54am From: GP

Tell em Mr. Stanley

Fri. 10/3/08 11:55am From: stingy d

ralph stanley is always on point

Fri. 10/3/08 11:56am From: Ted from Baltimore

Doug -- When I saw that Ralph Stanley had endorsed Obama I KNEW you wouldn't miss it. Thanks for a typically divine show!

Fri. 10/3/08 11:57am From: Ike

YEAH Ralph Stanley!

There's a good New Yorker article on this general Appalachian topic.

Fri. 10/3/08 10:44pm From: mike tp
