Fri. 1/9/09 9:07am From: El Thatchmo...

... and already engaged it posting audio down around Rancho Thatchmo. Be Forewarned!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:08am From: Parq

Much as I love Hotrod's killer show, I always have to turn it off a few minutes early. It's not Friday without that seg from Nachem's outro to Doug's intro.

Fri. 1/9/09 9:08am From: Bad Ronald

Cool, thanks, it'd be a pleasure to meet you!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:10am From: annie

i could use a trip to the big apple. have to connect with my friend out in babylon...

Fri. 1/9/09 9:15am From: Bad Ronald

Babylon's pretty far out there. I used to ride the LIRR some time back...

Fri. 1/9/09 9:16am From: El Thatchmo...

I saw DINER, Doug. That's Gross!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:17am From: annie

i'm looking forward to a city trip. and the gentle rock of the train has always soothed me. used to ride the LIRR alot when i was a child. and it passed right through our back yard..

Fri. 1/9/09 9:18am From: El Thatchmo...

"A little Time will make me sad because now I am Satan!"

Fri. 1/9/09 9:20am From: Parq

Doug, please excuse the crosstalk, the tunes are primo as usual. Annie, if you do come down to NYC, see, let us know you're coming and we'll figure out a way to connect.

Fri. 1/9/09 9:20am From: Bad Ronald

Wow, didn't know you were from LI too! We used to flatten nickles on the tracks. I remember the smoking and the double-decker cars!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:22am From: Parq

Ron, there are shiny new double deckers on the LIRR now.

Fri. 1/9/09 9:24am From: annie

yeah, BR i was born in bay shore and spent the first 15 years of my life in northport. my parents were bohemians from greenwich village. my, how times have changed!yes parq, i will..

Fri. 1/9/09 9:24am From: Bad Ronald

Way cool. Haven't been out there in a while. I gotta check them out!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:24am From: Parq

There's a Brazilian 60s garage/powerpop comp? Where the heck is my credit card . . .

Fri. 1/9/09 9:25am From: oz

great tunes nothing better than listening to brazil this early.

Fri. 1/9/09 9:27am From: Bad Ronald

Funny, I've friends that lived in Bay Shore. Been there a lot!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:29am From: annie

are you familiar with the woman from babylon that ran for the green party several years ago? her partner is an oooold family friend, it is he whom i'd love to visit..

Fri. 1/9/09 9:31am From: annie

doug, i am SO digging the music.

Fri. 1/9/09 9:32am From: Doug

The amazing comp Original Brazilian Pebbles is available here:

http://tinyurl.com/7a2b3f

Fri. 1/9/09 9:32am From: Parq

As melding of Italian sensibility and American song-style goes, this has its advantages over "Josefina, Please Don't Lean-a On the Bell". (Which, by the way, I happen to love, too.)

Fri. 1/9/09 9:35am From: Bad Ronald

No I 'm not...

Yes Doug the show is great today!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:43am From: dc pat

Doug, thanks for that link--it's still overwhelming to me how much free music is on the internets these days...

Fri. 1/9/09 9:50am From: dc pat

speaking of Morricone, I just put a poster of Clint Eastwood from Fist Full of Dollars up next to my desk today...

Fri. 1/9/09 9:53am From: annie

i'm in doug!!!!!!!! wooohoo!

Fri. 1/9/09 9:53am From: Paul Sherratt

Doug,
Imagining your downloading schedules exhausts me !

Fri. 1/9/09 9:56am From: dc pat

yeah, I sent Doug an email while he was still talking about the list...

Fri. 1/9/09 9:57am From: Parq

My God, it's *free*? My hands are shaking.

Fri. 1/9/09 9:58am From: Sanjay Gupta

Hmm. Parqinson's.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:05am From: Paul Sherratt

Wiley Barkdull - fabulous name - was he an emergency stand in for Lefty Frizzell ?!

Fri. 1/9/09 10:20am From: Cecile

what's free?

I have a rare political thought.
I understand why Sarah Palin thinks she got a raw deal from the media and the McCain camp, but why is she using milquetoast commie liberal language like 'victimized' to describe herself? Such a disappointment.

(Disclaimer: I am a milquetoast commie liberal myself) (well with some libertarian leanings. ) (And I am from Michigan, so I'm sure I voted for a Republican candidate or two at some time...)

Fri. 1/9/09 10:21am From: annie

this is the first i have ever heard of this chick.. anyone??http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jan/09/lady-gaga-the-fame

Fri. 1/9/09 10:22am From: Cecile

Oh, DOUG.
I love Dave Burrell.
I thought I was the only one.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:23am From: Cecile

annie, she just got started.
I know when I go into iTunes the Genius keeps telling me that I want her stuff.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:23am From: Bad Ronald

Ha ha - No I haven't Annie but you sound like The Chairman of the Board - "This chick"!

Fri. 1/9/09 10:24am From: annie

look at the pic, and if she's not a "chick" what is she?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:24am From: Rey Cruz

As always, awesome musical selections. Never heard that Cannonball album before, will have to track that one down. Sounds like it's loaded w/percussion, right up my alley. Speaking of percussion, an early birthday shout out to the late great Max Roach (1/10) and a belated one to Elvis (1/8)

Fri. 1/9/09 10:25am From: Bad Ronald

I did and she is, I'm just sayin'... quite a broad!

Fri. 1/9/09 10:26am From: Cecile

she is the chickiest chick that ever chicked.

I like her hair.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:27am From: annie

funny, the term "broad" is just not a label i would pin on her... broad would imply that there is some street savvy lurking

Fri. 1/9/09 10:27am From: Bad Ronald

Damn straight Cecile and the lightning bolt adds flair!

Fri. 1/9/09 10:27am From: annie

is hee music any good cecile?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:28am From: Swami

I too share the Northport/ Bay Shore connect 64-97 Npt, ( w/ some breaks) Bay Shore 97-05, 08- present.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:28am From: Doug

Oh Dave Burrell is brilliant. He does a 19-minute West Side Story medley on the same LP I played from. FanFOOKintastic (but couldn't wedge in the 19-minute track today; I've got another longish one coming up next.)

Rey:
Thanks for mentioning Max's birthday. He, as you probably know, is my all-time number one favorite drummer.

To the Max, people!

Fri. 1/9/09 10:28am From: Bad Ronald

I stand corrected, what about "What a tomato!"?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:29am From: annie

swami, i would have graduated at the NHS in 71
and BR, yeah, tomato!! with hair-do to boot

Fri. 1/9/09 10:29am From: Bad Ronald

Well alright Swami!

Fri. 1/9/09 10:30am From: Hugo

I like Dave Burrell, too. Just listened to him last night - concert recording from Italy 2007 - with some other good fellows - Kidd Jordan, William Parker and Louis Moholo..

Fri. 1/9/09 10:31am From: Cecile

I dunno. It doesn't appear to have saxophones or Viking topics or English moss or German electronics in it, so I'm not really interested.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:31am From: Swami

ahhh, Class of 82.5 Annie. . . train ran thru my yard too. . . Brightside Ave.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:33am From: Rey Cruz

tomato? she's a hot tamale!

Fri. 1/9/09 10:34am From: Cecile

Doug, i have that 2-disc Arista Freedom set of Hi Won Hi 2 and another record, and it is marvelous. I love that West Side Story medley.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:37am From: Parq

Is it too late to comment on Palin being victimized? One of the right's most successful tactics of late has been to turn left-wing rhetoric on its head. Thus, people who are against women being treated like trash are "feminist nazis", people who see through the Ill Gov's transparant gambit are "racists", and people who protest pollution are "eco-terrorists". Of course, people who laugh at the hand-picked GOP Barbie doll are anti-feminist "victimizers".

Fri. 1/9/09 10:42am From: Carmichael

OK, I finally caught up with you LI-ers re: the picture of lightning face. After yesterday's thoughts of Betty Page, this was kind of a downer.

And the bio appears to be written by Perez Hilton. I'd never admit to ever having HEARD of any of those people, much less work with them. I'd rather tout my connection to Royal Trux.

But that's just me.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:43am From: Cecile

yes, sadly, I know.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:44am From: gumby

Dykstra's Law:
Everyone is someone else's weirdo.

Diggin' this Marc Levin thing Doug

Fri. 1/9/09 10:44am From: Carmichael

And we're discussing that political whore pinhead this early in the morning?

Oh, and good morning Doug and everyone.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:44am From: HotRod

Hi Doug! See you tomorrow?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:44am From: dc pat

and don't forget Anne Coulter going on "news shows" to sell her new book about liberal's supposed obsession with victimization simultaneously claiming she's being victimized by the liberal media. Actually I think you brought this up the other day, Parq

Fri. 1/9/09 10:45am From: annie

how about a link to the newest daedalus attempt? the wind-suit? this rocks

Fri. 1/9/09 10:47am From: Cecile

carm, I had to wake up to this article when I checked my e-mail.
I just thought I'd share the "love" ;)

Fri. 1/9/09 10:50am From: Bad Ronald

Hey Carmichael, did you grab the Roger Ruskin Spear album?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:50am From: Cecile

it's the South African "Tie me kangaroo down!"

Fri. 1/9/09 10:51am From: annie

cecile, that's the feeling i got !! this is great

Fri. 1/9/09 10:52am From: Carmichael

Egads Cecile, enough to ruin even a Friday. Like my listening to commercial radio on the drive in to work. Radio rage?!?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:52am From: annie

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Terminal-Bliss-by-Meryl-Ann-Butler-090108-930.html wind-suit freedom

Fri. 1/9/09 10:53am From: Carmichael

Parq, it completely slipped my mind in the hubbub of Thursday afternoon. Is it still out there?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:54am From: Carmichael

The African Bob Wills?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:55am From: Parq

I saw a video of windsuits the other night. Do those things really work? Seems that, if it was that simple, someone would have come out with it a long time ago. Carm, is what still there?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:56am From: elwood listener 108365

Zantzinger collected rent on some properties in southern Maryland through the 1970s to the 1990s. The properties were hovels, without electricity in some cases. Problem was Zantzinger was deceiving the people from whom he collected these modest rents--he did not own the properties. He was brought up on charges and fined.
He lived not far from me on a grand estate, but said to be penniless. My wife once berated him,shaming him into leaving a public place. Actually I doubt he ever experienced shame, but he left anyway.

Fri. 1/9/09 10:56am From: annie

parq, the video sure looks real, and wow, the child-hood dream of flying seems closest as it ever has..

Fri. 1/9/09 10:56am From: Carmichael

Oops, sorry Parq, that was meant for Bad Ronald. Is the Roger Ruskin Spear album still available?

Fri. 1/9/09 10:58am From: Rey Cruz

The 3 Peterses Bros were just delightful. Wondering what they were singing about so I looked up Fanagalo: "a language developed in South African mines. Originally it was constructed to allow for communication between the different workers on the mines who spoke a multitude of languages."

Fri. 1/9/09 11:02am From: Cecile

so they could say "this place sucks" or "watch out for that falling boulder" and everyone would get it. ;)

Fri. 1/9/09 11:07am From: still b/p

Or, "I got a wind suit for my birthday, but I don't think it'll work in here. And stop pointing your helmet lights in my eyes."

Fri. 1/9/09 11:07am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:08am From: Cecile

still b/p you slay me.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:09am From: gumby

I think the South African miners told each other. "Don't stick those diamonds up your bum, there's a cavity search after each shift.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:10am From: still b/p

No, you!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:11am From: Doug

Rey,
In a bizarre coincidence, my maternal grandfather was a linguist and expert in languages who was brought in to to teach the miners (who came from all over southern African and spoke dozens of different languages) a universal language. (My grandfather was also a major prick.)

Fri. 1/9/09 11:12am From: Cecile

i think you speak wisdom, gumby.

And "the DeBeers don't have enough money yet, back to work!"

Fri. 1/9/09 11:13am From: Carmichael

"My canary just died".

Fri. 1/9/09 11:15am From: Hugo

Lovely Dollar Brand piece, that one ...

Fri. 1/9/09 11:16am From: Cecile

I agree, Hugo!

Doug, that is an eerie coincidence.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:20am From: Doug

Cecile,
One day in seventh grade, I opened up my geography textbook and found myself staring at a picture of my grandfather. I could tell by the way he held his cigarette.

I should say that the ID of the fellow in the picture was never firmly established, but I was certain the second I saw the photo...

Fri. 1/9/09 11:22am From: annie

wow, did i think this was miriam!!!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:22am From: Cecile

that is completely wild, Doug! What kind of textual context was his photo in?

If your geography textbook had a section on "pool sharks of Upper Michigan", my grandpa would have been in that.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:25am From: dc pat

Is this woman singing in Xlose or San or something?

Fri. 1/9/09 11:26am From: Hugo

I'd raise a glass of Castle Lager for this set (if I had one). Still, got to enjoy one in Berlin last summer.

Weird story, Doug. I'd like to believe that coincidences are purely coincidental ...

Fri. 1/9/09 11:30am From: Cecile

what is the name of the download blog again, Doug?

Fri. 1/9/09 11:31am From: gumby

The Free Slave or the uncaught Indian. Which is more joyfull?

Fri. 1/9/09 11:31am From: still b/p

When Miriam Makeba died, I saw one of her more well-known sucessess, "The Click Song", described a few times as a novelty song. Novel to unfamiliar ears, sure, but some too-familiar shade of conceit and clueless regard in a term that put the song/language in a category with Spike Jones or Ray Stevens tracks for laffs.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:33am From: Hugo

This one:
http://matsuli.blogspot.com/

Fri. 1/9/09 11:34am From: Cecile

thanks hugo!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:34am From: Doug

DC Pat, I believe she is singing in Xhosa.

Thanks for adding the blog URL Hugo!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:35am From: Cecile

wow this is more like naija meets Simon and Garfunkel

Fri. 1/9/09 11:35am From: Matt

This whole set's been great. I was going to listen to NPR this morning, but the news has been so depressing lately. Thanks.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:36am From: Cecile

it's really good!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:36am From: Hugo

Yes, Doug sure knows his way round the blogs. I'd say he's partially to blame for getting me immersed in all that jazz (also a blogger in my spare time) ...

Fri. 1/9/09 11:37am From: GP

Super song choice this Midnight Sun, thanks Doug.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:37am From: Carmichael

Yes, this is the same guitar picking as "The Boxer".

Fri. 1/9/09 11:37am From: north guinea hills

you hit it perfectly, cecile!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:39am From: annie

matt, wise choice, to be sure. and hugo i even got into the blog madness. lost some steam, but still blog now and then on OCA..

Fri. 1/9/09 11:39am From: Ike

That beats the holy hell out of Simon & Bore-funkel as far as I'm concerned! That was awesome.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:41am From: still b/p

Like litigable close in a few ways, the songs. Anyone know the chronological relationship?

Fri. 1/9/09 11:49am From: mo

hi doug,
just downloaded "midnight sun." so lovely!! thanks, will sign up for your email list for shor.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:50am From: Bad Ronald

@Carmichael - Roger Ruskin Spear -

http://tinyurl.com/ruskin

It is hilarious!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:54am From: Hugo

Yes, it is, especially the first track, but then I'm a fan of all the Bonzos - and Vivian Stanshall in particular - got most of his solo recordings.

Fri. 1/9/09 11:56am From: Carmichael

Thanks, BR!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:58am From: annie

doug, as usual, it has been a wonderful morning spent with great music..

Fri. 1/9/09 11:58am From: north guinea hills

shit, african country & western is where it's AT!

Fri. 1/9/09 11:58am From: Carmichael

Every time I hear this guitar opening, I expect to hear Hank Ballard singing, "Work With Me, Annie ..."

Fri. 1/9/09 11:59am From: Hugo

Oops, what I've got is the first one; the link is to the second ...

Fri. 1/9/09 12:03pm From: Rey Cruz

1 last thing! tomorrow 1/10, all day Max Roach birthday broadcast on WKCR FM or WKCR.org. Then Roy Haynes festival right after for a whole week! Drum heaven!
