yihaaa, morning all

Fri. 1/23/09 9:04am From: Parq

Yoiks! I arrived in the room too late for the Hatkiva-Juju segue. Fridays never really start without that.

Fri. 1/23/09 9:24am From: Paul Sherratt

Gosh,at this end ( UK ) I thought I heard the ghost of poet, Sir John Betjeman, trying to muscle in, during ' A Shropshire Lad ' !

Fri. 1/23/09 9:25am From: Hugo

A Topic set! Loved the Cameron version. There must be countless versions of that tune, but my mind's gone blank at the moment.

Also on Topic: The Oldham Tinkers!

Fri. 1/23/09 9:28am From: paulthepostman

Ah, ye olde englishe folksy what I have more time for now than what I did then...

Fri. 1/23/09 9:29am From: rob

Morning from durham. Somehow I found myself in a group singing traditional folk songs, shape notes and all, last monday, and now I'm listening to some lovely traditional music. Must be the theme for this week.

Fri. 1/23/09 9:47am From: ratel

paralleling british folk & rythm n' blues / r n' r... yummy
I wanna podcast !!!!

Fri. 1/23/09 9:47am From: chris

"thats no Gila thats your momma son" genius

Fri. 1/23/09 9:56am From: Carmichael

Good morning, Doug and all. I'm in Florida today, actually listening in the same time zone. It somehow sounds fresher!

Brazilian Merseybeat? Sounds great.

Fri. 1/23/09 10:02am From: chris

I second the podcast notion!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:03am From: Drummer Some

Top o' the morning (or afternoon or evening or whenever it is over "there") to everyone. Lotta 2-minutes songs keeping me busy. Not to mention the gila monster terrorizing the studio. (The gila monsters have already won.)

Fri. 1/23/09 10:11am From: ~L

Happy New Presidency!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:11am From: zedprophfer

organic grooves!!! yay!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:11am From: Cecile

I thought I had tuned into the wrong show for a minute!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:17am From: Cecile

This Diamond Joe works for the blues one feels when an acquaintance makes it incredibly, almost inexplicably, big doing the same thing as you do.

Fri. 1/23/09 10:23am From: paulthepostman

Doug, while perusing the internoodle for some Egyptian >saiyidi< folk I stumbled upon something very unrelated yet no less interesting and topical...

Fri. 1/23/09 10:26am From: Carmichael

Northern Soul rules!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:27am From: Carmichael

And the wind cries Monday .... duh duh duh.

Fri. 1/23/09 10:28am From: Drummer Some

Thanks Cecile, you given me the name to my new program: "The Wrong Show"

Fri. 1/23/09 10:29am From: Cecile

LOL! I just thought that I was in a time bubble and Bryce's show was coming on when I heard the Fellini!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:34am From: Parq

'Cile, I was thinking along similar lines. I had come back in from outside, and thought maybe Doug had been kidnapped and hurriedly replaced by Evan Davies.

I actually bought that "Sexual Life" CD in anticipation of a trip to Sao Paolo. The trip fell through, but the CD sounds great.

Fri. 1/23/09 10:35am From: Cecile

as a fatty cake, I can get down with a good, fun chubby chaser song.

Fri. 1/23/09 10:36am From: Cecile

as long as it's good-natured

Fri. 1/23/09 10:36am From: annie

and bob wills!! roly poly

Fri. 1/23/09 10:38am From: Cecile

that was such a celebration of actually being able to EAT after the Depression! I find that song really touching!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:45am From: Parq

"Female Hercules" reminded me of a dancer I saw the other night - incredibly beautiful and incredibly muscular.

Fri. 1/23/09 10:46am From: annie

"you know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again!"

Fri. 1/23/09 10:47am From: GP

I'll take one of each please or a combo; a bald, one-eyed, herculean toe-steppin baby!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:48am From: Carmichael

Ricahrd Thompson's "Two Left Feet" is another fine my-baby-can't-dance song.

Fri. 1/23/09 10:49am From: Cecile

you should play Tonio K's "howcome can't I see you in my mirror?"

Fri. 1/23/09 10:51am From: Carmichael

Dan Hicks' "How Can I Miss you If You Won't Go Away".

Fri. 1/23/09 10:51am From: chris

what a great show. first time listener really enjoying the tunes

Fri. 1/23/09 10:53am From: GP

Hank...woo hoo! and yee haw!
Thanks Doug

Fri. 1/23/09 10:54am From: Drummer Some

Thanky, Chris. Welcome aboard!

Fri. 1/23/09 10:57am From: Hugo

Dan Hicks, yep! Played the "Last Train to Hicksville" the other day and downloaded a 1997 Charlatans reunion concert from Dime. Seconded!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:01am From: GP

Welcome Chris..enjoy the chaos..be careful though..FMU is addictive!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:05am From: Hugo

The MacColl - Cameron can be found here:

(possibly preempting the Doug newsletter)

Fri. 1/23/09 11:07am From: Chris

Man, I think you are right about FMU being addicrtive.... this is so great!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:08am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:08am From: jk

love los teen agers.
thank you Doug

Fri. 1/23/09 11:08am From: Paul Sherratt

Yes, Chris ,welcome to a rather fine place. For years I've been asking if there's anything else quite like like on this planet. No suggestions so far ..
As addictions go, this Friday fix is one to just give in to.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:11am From: annie

chris, when you have a few hours to kill, check out the archives. extremely diverse. there is a search box at the top left of the homepage.... bon appetit!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:13am From: Carmichael

Chris, tune in every day at this time and you will find something wonderful.

I am near the beach in Florida, and this stuff is PERFECT!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:14am From: GP

THis Pio Levia is amazing...how you not be smiling all the time while listening to this?

Fri. 1/23/09 11:14am From: Chris

Where has this site been all my life...

Fri. 1/23/09 11:17am From: Parq

Chris, welcome, and say goodbye to your other interests for a while. Paul, I've been around long enough to say with some authority that only FMU is FMU. Last year's April-Fool switcheroo with a Bay Area freeform station proved that nothing else comes close.

And gang, let's not forget that marathon time is nigh.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:18am From: Emily

Torcuata just improved the quality of my life tenfold! Thanks, Doug!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:19am From: annie

parq , that had to be the best time.... i only iwsh the dj on the other end had a playlist....there was a performer i tried to name from ages past, she sounded just like her.. no clue..

Fri. 1/23/09 11:20am From: GP

Doug, to sound like a true Latin American DJ, you need to add some reverb everytime you announce the songs.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:22am From: Hugo

Yes, the marathon is something else. I caught a whiff of that mayhem back in 06 - during the Doug and Monica shows ...

Fri. 1/23/09 11:23am From: kent

what are the dates of this year's marathon? i look forward to it every year.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:26am From: Drummer Some

Kent,
Don't quote me but I believe it starts March 5. Whatever that Monday is. See you then!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:27am From: still b/p

This show is the Sham Wow that sucks up and eliminates life's blahs, burdens and any brightness/boogie inhibitors.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:27am From: fishmonkeystew

Sharon Jones! yeeeeeeeeaaaahh!!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:27am From: Parq

Shar and the Daps!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:28am From: Cecile

I think I am going to have a contest for WFMU DJs - why should I contribute to your particular show?
Best answer gets a mouse pledge! LOLOLOLOL!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:29am From: Drummer Some

Cecile,
My answer is the next 31 minutes!

Hugs,
Drummer

Fri. 1/23/09 11:29am From: Paul Sherratt

Thanks Brian for the DC and thanks Doug for this Sharon Jones song which has been the soundtrack of my life these past couple of months ..

Parq,

I knew there's be no answer to that question.
But I just LOVE asking it.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:30am From: Cecile

b/p does that make Doug Vince, the guy with the headset? "You know the Germans, they make good stuff!"

Fri. 1/23/09 11:30am From: Parq

'Cile, spread out your mouse - $25 on this show, $25 on that. Share the love, and get more door-prize chances to boot.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:30am From: Carmichael

OK, here we go! Johhnie Taylor!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:32am From: Carmichael

"Are you followin' me, camera guy?"

Fri. 1/23/09 11:33am From: Cecile

Yeah, Parq you make lots of sense.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:33am From: annie

i have to figure out which show i should click. i can only donate a small amount this time..

Fri. 1/23/09 11:33am From: GP

He he..one our assistants just walked by, did a double-take, came in and was listening.."Ohhhhh thats good." was her reaction...Another convert!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:34am From: Cecile

I love Vince.
And Billy "out of the matting, into the padding!" May
I grew up going to county fairs and seeing the pitchmen there.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:34am From: rob

b/p, I agree. I've been using this sham wow show to buff out the blues from my paperwork all morning. Typing up casenotes has never boogied this bright before.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:34am From: Carmichael

Jimmy Carter says yes ....

Jimmy Carter says YES!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:36am From: Parq

Annie, as an occasional 'thon volunteer, I feel safe in speaking for everyone when I say that anything you're willing to give will be embraced gratefully.

I've loved this 5D track for decades. This passage from the Declaration is my Facebook quote.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:36am From: annie

my best memory is having the station on in my cafe and a customer walking in and recognizing the format without batting an eye... and i wwas in upstate!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:37am From: annie

parq, FB- friend me?

Fri. 1/23/09 11:38am From: Parq

Annie, I'd be proud to. Give me a search term I can use to find you.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:39am From: annie

hhmm. ok....oh!! i am an admin in the monsanto and its ilk must be stopped group!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:41am From: annie

i loved this speech...

Fri. 1/23/09 11:41am From: Parq

Done. It's gonna have to wait until tonight. My strangely Orwellian work puter will not let me access FB.

Drummer Some, thanks for playing the Peebles. I haven't hear the full track, just the excerpt that plays under the closing credits of "Watermelon Man".

Fri. 1/23/09 11:43am From: Cecile

brown can stick around....

Fri. 1/23/09 11:43am From: Carmichael

... as long as he gives the drummer some.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:44am From: annie

you'll see parq that i am quite vocal in my posts.. i have fun..

Fri. 1/23/09 11:44am From: Parq

Has there been any right-wing blowback about the Rev's praying for increased privilege for nonwhites and increased acceptance of responsibity by whites? Seems just the sort of thing the wingnuts would jump on.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:44am From: ratel

yeah ! the link's picture is mandatory with this track !!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:45am From: Paul Sherratt

Now whatever happened to dear Stanley Winston, I wonder ..

This is my first week listening to wfmu with a Democratic President in place. Thought I'd just mention that !

(And the Lowery speech killed us too, perfection )

Fri. 1/23/09 11:46am From: annie

extremely interesting that obama is an ox and so is this the year of the ox.. it stands for hard work and tanacity

Amen Rev. Lowrey

Fri. 1/23/09 11:49am From: Drummer Some

You know who else is an ox? You're looking at him! 1961 en la casa!

Fri. 1/23/09 11:50am From: annie

it will be a good year for you doug..

Fri. 1/23/09 11:52am From: GP

Off to lunch..have to catch the archives

Fri. 1/23/09 11:53am From: still b/p

Stepped away a minute...
Bit of a Jekyll & Hyde thing for some of us, no?... Sham Wowery exposure/familiarity, AND deep appreciation of this show/station. Not that there's anything...you know...

Fri. 1/23/09 11:53am From: Cecile

I'm an ox, too. Me an' Doug are fellow Geminoids.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:54am From: Carmichael

The Happy Organ!

i always forget what i am but i am triple cancer. born in 53

Fri. 1/23/09 11:55am From: Shamwow

the Shamwow cares not about the aesthetics.
the Shamwow is only interested in the obliteration of the stains...
must complete mission...

Fri. 1/23/09 11:56am From: Carmichael

You'd have to be crazy not to own one.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:56am From: Parq

What a great party this has been this AM! Have a good weekend everybody. I gotta take the kid back to college. Good excuse for digging some Dutchess County winter vibes.

Fri. 1/23/09 11:59am From: Paul Sherratt

That was never three hours ..

Tue. 1/27/09 2:58pm From: El Thatchmo

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction. GObama!

Tue. 1/27/09 2:59pm From: El Thatchmo

... more amazing than fiction.
