Never heard this particular James-Flames or much of anything like it. Gorgeous!

Fri. 4/17/09 9:17am From: gumby

James Brown was definately the goods.
Practical genius, excellent bussiness man.

Fri. 4/17/09 9:18am From: annie

Fri. 4/17/09 9:20am From: gumby

Fri. 4/17/09 9:27am From: annie

that neighbour could have been us when we were on the farm. we had close to that amount.. and each one had a name! ok flip flips..

Fri. 4/17/09 9:28am From: gumby

Doug glad to hear you are diggin' the free time, good luck with the unearthing the big blue marble. Thanks for sharing your archeology of the aural sculptures with us.

Fri. 4/17/09 9:30am From: annie

Leader of the pack, already.

Fri. 4/17/09 9:32am From: annie

we had two sisters from a litter: we called them merciful and pitiful the mother was cissy and she lived til she was 25. great cat she was. oh email? i lost the slip ...

Fri. 4/17/09 9:34am From: annie

i get it paul.... how white is that, huh? nice dog, but lose the bit at the tail tip.. way too much..

Fri. 4/17/09 9:38am From: still b/p

I love when the hombre hollers "cuuuumbia!" at the beginning. I happen to have this one in a mixed CD that was part of a failed dance experiment.

Fri. 4/17/09 9:45am From: dc pat

so anyway, I was trying to get my stubborn kids ready for school yesterday and I hear from the kitchen radio "blahblahblah DOUG SCHULKIND blahblahblah" He was talking something about Coltrane and kids or something... Way to go Doug, guess you've made the BIG time...

Fri. 4/17/09 9:54am From: gumby

Perry Robinson - First three notes and my whole body said - OH YEAH!!!!

Fri. 4/17/09 9:55am From: Drummer Some

In case you were intrigued, the item to which DC PAT refers is here: http://tinyurl.com/cnjwt2

Fri. 4/17/09 9:57am From: dc pat

by the by, excellent choice for a babe's first taste of music. If I'd thought it through, I would have arrived there as well. But, I think my kids had to put up with one or all of the Beatles, Kinks, or Clash.

Fri. 4/17/09 9:58am From: Paul Sherratt

That Honest Jons collection is, I suspect, this one:
'Cuban Roots, New York Spices'
http://www.forcedexposure.com/artists/son.cubano.nyc.html

Fri. 4/17/09 9:59am From: annie

i'm around, just lurking..

Fri. 4/17/09 10:07am From: Cecile

hola!
oooh, annie, puppy bonding time!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:09am From: annie

yeah, she will be soo much bigger too. still debating a name.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:09am From: PMD

Hi Doug and all, back from a meeting, going into another soon. Annie, when are you coming down to DC? ;-)

Fri. 4/17/09 10:09am From: El Thatchmo...

Do you call this music ?!?

Fri. 4/17/09 10:11am From: annie

pmd, is that an invite? sounds good. i'll figure something out.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:11am From: Paul Sherratt

El Thatchmo, is that a new compilation title ?
It's a good one !

Fri. 4/17/09 10:11am From: Parq

Annie, name her "Larry". Why the heck not?

Fri. 4/17/09 10:11am From: GP

Finally getting to listen again on a Friday. Morning all.
Doug, This Chico Quartet track matches our weather here..stormy, rainy, etc.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:12am From: Cecile

Name her Maddie!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:12am From: PMD

OF COURSE... We'd have to figure out the puppy thing though if you want to bring her, since I have a cat... Would love to show you around and have an extra room.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:13am From: Cecile

my friend just got a purebred German shorthair pointer (from the Humane Society of all places). She's 10 weeks old, and steals everyone's hears. So pretty.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:14am From: Drummer Some

Hey El Thatchmo,
Yes I do. And I call the wind Mariah. Ha!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:14am From: annie

puppy thing is easy, have alot of people who would help me out taking care of her. just want to work around a garden schedule.. lots of planting up ahead of me. the trees and all. i'll stay in touch.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:15am From: Cecile

hearts. Der.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:16am From: Paul Sherratt

Cecile,
I preferred " hears " !

Fri. 4/17/09 10:18am From: Cecile

LOL, Paul!

She does have lovely, er, hears.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:21am From: Cecile

WOW, three of my favorite people on one record!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:24am From: Parq

Puppies + new gardens = frustrating but hilarous (for everyone else but the gardener) destruction

Fri. 4/17/09 10:24am From: Paul Sherratt

... lend me your hears
http://www.sleddogcentral.com/interviews/photos/Egil_vorstehvalpar2.jpg
Great set, by the way, Mr DJ !

Fri. 4/17/09 10:25am From: sveden

Loving this song.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:31am From: annie

paul, they are soooo sweet. nice photo..

Fri. 4/17/09 10:35am From: gjorgji

he plays gajda (pipe) .. where did you find this?

Fri. 4/17/09 10:36am From: PMD

Oh, I like this.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:36am From: Cecile

OMG OMG OMG, our puppy friend Hildy looks like the 2nd one from the left...

Fri. 4/17/09 10:36am From: Carmichael

Good morning Doug et al ....

Fri. 4/17/09 10:37am From: dc pat

WELL! I think we've exhausted the puppies topic... bagpipes, from the Balkans, eh? This is the area of Doug's show that I really like..

Fri. 4/17/09 10:38am From: annie

ok, i'm outta here folks. have a wonderful weekend and see you monday..

Fri. 4/17/09 10:38am From: Puppy Cult Leader

Never. Look into my watery, pensive eyes...

Fri. 4/17/09 10:38am From: Cecile

You too, Annie! We need action photos!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:38am From: Gjorgji

ah, ok.. its on the playlist. thanks. great show!
the job will find you in the end
hallo from macedonia!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:39am From: Parq

Annie, I'll FB with you this weekend. Hope it's as good a one as it's looking like now.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:40am From: Pearly Sweets

Sleepy dappy doo!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:40am From: Puppy Cult Leader

And give me a tummy rub. Ah, yeah, that's it.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:43am From: dc pat

looking at my ticket stub from the Ex/ "Mekuria" show--with an "i". I wonder if Mekura is the proper spelling...

Fri. 4/17/09 10:47am From: dc pat

dammit Doug: annie's gone...

Fri. 4/17/09 10:49am From: Hugo

Just a typo, I suspect ... I've also seen it with a "y", but in any case, the music's blissful!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:50am From: gumby

Had to do some work there, but I knew that was Getatchew. A sound that will make the world go around in a smaller orbit. thanks Doug.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:53am From: Drummer Some

Sorry to cause an international incident with my inadvertent vowel dropping. The record has a Y so let's all go with that. Y not!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:53am From: New Puppy

Y'know, computer and audio cables are pretty darn tasty!

Fri. 4/17/09 10:54am From: still b/p

Don't let 'em Gétatchèw, Doug.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:54am From: dc pat

I know that GW Sok called him MekurEEa..

Fri. 4/17/09 10:56am From: Carmichael

Now we're talking. I stumbled across "The Diverse Yusef Lateef" when I was about 10, and it changed my whole outlook on life.

Fri. 4/17/09 10:59am From: Cecile

you cool people.

I thinik I bought a 3 dog night single when I was 10. They were out of "Joy to the World" so I had to get "Old Fashioned Love Song."

My favorite 8-track was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's Greatest Hits.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:01am From: Hugo

I always like records with "the complete" in the title ...

Fri. 4/17/09 11:01am From: Duke

Carmichael, I had a similar experience at around 12-13 when I bumped into "The Blue Yusef Lateef" - messed with my adolescent mind.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:02am From: Carmichael

My parents had every Tijuana Brass album, as well as some Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 and The Baja Marimba Band. I don't know how I could have come across Lateef. It was probably one of my sisters' boyfriends.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:02am From: gumby

When I was around 10 my sister took me to the Asbury Park Convention Hall to see the Bee-Gees and they were cool then. "Have you seen my wife Mr. Jones. Do you know what it's like on the outside." Sung all shaky and shit, way cool.

Cecile, did you have to steal a book of matches from your parents to ge tthe 8-track to play?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:03am From: dc pat

I thank my oldest brother that I grew up listening to 8-track versions of Village Green Preservation Society and Great Lost Kinks Album

Fri. 4/17/09 11:03am From: dc pat

HOLY SHIT, gumby!! I TOTALLY forgot about the book of matches!!

Fri. 4/17/09 11:04am From: Mark

Good morning Doug - Wonderful selection as always... Thank you sir!

Fri. 4/17/09 11:05am From: gumby

I was laughing to myself yesterday because Scott played some tune and it was alittle wobbly. Seemed the matches were out of the 8-track for some other worthwhile mission for a while.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:05am From: Carmichael

I still have an 8-track of "Around the World with 3 Dog Night." I remember the *clunk* sound when it changed channels. I was never smart enough to use a mtchbook. We used to grab the tape and shove it around in the player until it would play.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:06am From: chris

Getachew played an incredible set in DC too

Fri. 4/17/09 11:06am From: dc pat

gads, that was like a Proustian moment--that whole era came back to me and I could see that pack of matches jammed underneath the 8-track...thanks for the recall..

Fri. 4/17/09 11:07am From: Cecile

Nice, Gumby!
I was the oldest, so I had to break ground.

No, I had the clunk, too. We got "7 Separate Fools" on 8-track. Now that I think about it, I belive Randy Newman wrote half the songs on that, and Harry Nilsson the other.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:09am From: Chris

Love to hear Kitchen Cynics cover this Louis Killen sometime.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:11am From: dc pat

...dank basement, the smell of airplane model glue, bits of styrofoam everywhere and the feeling that Ray Davies was a man from the 19th century singing about old things I didn't understand...

Fri. 4/17/09 11:11am From: Carmichael

Speaking of whiplash-like recall, this song brings back lots of memories. We had an old Sean Nos singer in my town, and he would sing either this or something bastardizingly similar.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:12am From: Duncan

This is weird. I recognise the words from a song by Pentangle but an entirely different tune. Possibly Bruton Town?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:12am From: Carmichael

An Pac Ar Buille is the other song that channels me back across/through time. Whichever Sean Daily says is correct.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:13am From: dc pat

Sean would know...

Fri. 4/17/09 11:14am From: Carmichael

That's what I mean, Duncan. These songs are so old and were sung differently in each region. By the time everyone met up in NY or Boston, they melded them together. Now it seems like there are 20 versions of every old Gaelic song. Confusing.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:14am From: gumby

My freind's 8-track collection: the funeral for a freind record (Billy Joel or Elton John) Four Season's Greatest Hits, Meatloaf and some Superstatrs of the 70's. We played Radar Love till our ears bled and smoked our brains away. Ah, the summer's of my misguided youth.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:17am From: Carmichael

Ha! I still scream a couple of Radar Love when I'm in a great mood. ":No more speed, I'm almost there ..."

Fri. 4/17/09 11:18am From: gumby

"gotta be cool now, gotta take care"

Fri. 4/17/09 11:21am From: dc pat

other 8-tracks were ELP (don't know which one) and Houses of the Holy

Fri. 4/17/09 11:21am From: Carmichael

I believe we had a discussion about this song being on Liege & Lief, no?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:25am From: Steven S

great show, Doug! enjoying the Celtic interlude...

Fri. 4/17/09 11:26am From: Paul Sherratt

Chris,
I'd love to hear The Kitchen Cynics cover anything !

http://www.secreteye.org/se/kitchencynics.html

Alan makes music up in his loft. Sometimes he falls back through the hatch ..

Fri. 4/17/09 11:29am From: Chris

Oh yeah. Lucky enough to actually see him perform live once, good stuff.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:30am From: Max

Dick Gaughan?? Didn't he play in Lorena Bobbitt's band for a short while?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:31am From: Paul Sherratt

Gaughan, pronounced " Gocken " pre or post wart removal !

Fri. 4/17/09 11:31am From: PMD

don't pay the ferryman...

Fri. 4/17/09 11:32am From: Carmichael

Till you make it to the other side.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:34am From: Buck Dharma

don't fear the reaper, either

Fri. 4/17/09 11:35am From: dc pat

don't eat stuff off the sidewalk

Fri. 4/17/09 11:37am From: PMD

or yellow snow
(though, with spring arriving, we don't need to fear that...or the reaper)

Fri. 4/17/09 11:38am From: Grim Reaper

Oh, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:39am From: Carmichael

Don't sleep in the subway, darling.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:41am From: Paul Sherratt

Original Shleu Shleu ... twinned with that other Haitian, Coupé Cloué ?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:42am From: Roy Pea

Blue Oyster Cult was the first concert I ever attended, mainly because friends with a car wanted to attend. People in the audience were dressed like Jawas, and when the papier mache Godzilla came out, it was less than impressive.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:42am From: still b/p

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:43am From: Brian S

Spot on, Mr Sherratt about Dick Gaughan. I'm off to see Tom Brosseau next week. Prior to new album. Got a copy Doug?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:44am From: Carmichael

(Ruby) Don't take your love to town.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:44am From: GP

LOL Roy Pea..sounds like the Stonehenge scene from Spinal Tap.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:44am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Fri. 4/17/09 11:46am From: Parq

Not even close to having time to read all the comments today. Whoo! (Who?)

Fri. 4/17/09 11:47am From: Chris

The loudest thing I've ever heard short of Mogwai was a piano solo during "Joan Crawford" back when I saw arena BOC.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:48am From: Cecile

I saw washed-up BOC a couple of times in 2001, and they still had it - to a point. Alan Lanier was looking ROUGH.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:49am From: north guinea hills

Every time someone refers to Blue Oyster Cult as BOC I keep on thinking they're referring to Boards of Canada.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:50am From: ?

'Waniua-Ua', a version by ( I think ) by Fundi Konde is well worth investigating

Brian, good afternoon in Watford ?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:50am From: owen

north guinea hills- me too. probably better that way,,,

Fri. 4/17/09 11:51am From: Paul Sherratt

'Waniua-Ua', a version by ( I think ) by Fundi Konde is well worth investigating

Brian, a good afternoon in Watford ?

Fri. 4/17/09 11:53am From: gumby

Gumby Juniors 1 & 2 are into death metal, or scream metal or something or other now and it cracks me up. They walk around the house singing(?) this obnoxious hollerin' stuff. It cracks me up and harkens me back to my "ME 262 is a German jet" stuff when BOC was presenting me with an audio version (sort of) of WWII. Very funny times in gumbyland.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:53am From: Carmichael

I've been wondering if BOC is still worth seeing. I've always loved their multi-pronged guitar attack, and saw them as Sof White Underbelly many eons ago.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:54am From: Chris

BOC actually played a pretty good free show a couple of years ago, all things considered. "Hot Rails to Hell" an d"Black Blade" were actually pretty memorable.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:54am From: Carmichael

Soft

Fri. 4/17/09 11:55am From: dc pat

I built one of those ME 262 when I was a kid because of BOC--see previous basement/8-track oriented comments...

Fri. 4/17/09 11:56am From: still b/p

good show x 3.

Fri. 4/17/09 11:58am From: Brian S

A good afternoon to you Paul from a wet Watford. How's the house?

Fri. 4/17/09 12:06pm From: Paul Sherratt

Brian,
The house is just fine, thanks. Just waiting to finally get the driveway sorted ( ran out of mental energy ! )

Enjoy Mr Brosseau - where and when is he playing down there ?
From warm and sunny North Staffs ..

Fri. 4/17/09 12:30pm From: Brian S

I know what you mean all that building work drains the bank & brain. He's playing the Bush Hall West London on Tuesday next. Then it's Gurf Morlix at the Luminaire in May.
