Fri. 4/24/09 9:22am From: Paul Sherratt

parq,
The Doughboys got the first parts of their name from radio show sponsors The Burrus Mill and Elevator Company, makers of 'Light Crust' flour

Fri. 4/24/09 9:23am From: seamus

unfortunately, no fence stops "mr. bungle" the beagle

Fri. 4/24/09 9:25am From: Angry Consumer

You mean to say that the flour companies had a cartel and raped the earth and gouged consumers?

Fri. 4/24/09 9:27am From: seamus

feds. what kind of madness is this?

Fri. 4/24/09 9:28am From: The FCC

We just object to speech about naughty body parts. Other than that, all sorts of truths and prevarications are permitted.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:28am From: Parq

AC, yes, that's exactly what he means. Seamus, I am in spirit holding your beagle pup in my lap and rubbing his belly like anything.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:28am From: annieji

if i do have to step out quickly, be assured that you will have the company of my close associate george.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:31am From: The Man

Trust me

Fri. 4/24/09 9:32am From: Cecile

I like George, Annie. He's nice. ;D
Aw, puppies, gardens, and baking!
Nice happy happy!

I love Screaming Jay

Fri. 4/24/09 9:33am From: JCityJensen

I'll have to catch them doughboys in the archive - DAMN YOU MTA!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:33am From: chris

hey Doug,
I've asked you this before, but do you ever listen to John Funke on WMBR?

Fri. 4/24/09 9:33am From: Stanley

I like screaming Stella!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:34am From: annieji

dependable, if not androgynous

Fri. 4/24/09 9:34am From: texas scott

'Light Crust' mill is 10 miles from my pad.
The huge grain elevators are massive and kinda art deco in a sense.Right next to the rail line.Saginaw,TX

I like asparagus.Yum!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:35am From: dc patpunk

eep op orp ah-ah

Fri. 4/24/09 9:37am From: Cecile

Wow, you are serious, Annie. Asparagus take like 2-3 years, right?

Fri. 4/24/09 9:38am From: yup....

i am the cock-eyed optimist

Fri. 4/24/09 9:38am From: Cecile

OMG. I have this track on an old Kent compilation. Staple of my old college show.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:38am From: seamus

Dear "The Man", It has come to my attention that you still owe me $45.69 for a pair of almost-new oven mits. If you could make you check out to "Sons of Deliverence Assosciates" of Newport News, VA it would be much appriciated

Fri. 4/24/09 9:39am From: Cecile

But if it works, annie and you can't eat it all, you can sell that stuff for a pretty penny.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:40am From: chris

Is Bobby talking about Sonny?

Fri. 4/24/09 9:41am From: dc patpunk

everyt ime you guys start talking gardening, I want to go out and rent one of the victory gardens here in dc and plant everything we eat...

Fri. 4/24/09 9:41am From: The Man

That request has to be submitted in triplicate.
And as far as the asparagus-selling is concerned, we KNOW where that garden is and we will monitor any and all monetary exchanges regarding such.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:42am From: annie-san

go for it punk!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:43am From: Cecile

Yeah. Or just grow some tomatoes in a pot. Or some herbs in the window.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:43am From: Paul Sherratt

Fri. 4/24/09 9:44am From: Bo Fan

I saw Bo at the Other End many moons ago. The fat man ROCKED!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:44am From: Paul Sherratt

Good grief, do they have bigger web links in Texas too ? !

Fri. 4/24/09 9:44am From: Drummer Some

Chris,
I have never heard Mr. Funke. Tell me about 'im.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:45am From: Garrison

.......with the dark stains that indicate freshness.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:45am From: texas scott

Paul: yep that's the one.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:45am From: Bad Ronald

I once had grape tomatoes growing in my office.
The vine went right up an into the drop ceiling!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:46am From: Cecile

If they only channeled the power of Bo while he was still here.
That Diddly beat could cure cancer.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:46am From: Cecile

Awesome, BR. and snacks all the time!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:47am From: dc patpunk

yeah, I grow tomatoes, peppers, etc. on the deck every year but I wanna grow carrots and potatoes n' shit...

Fri. 4/24/09 9:47am From: dc patpunk

hang on...you think Drummer Some will get pissed if we continue the garden talk?

Fri. 4/24/09 9:48am From: Quagmire

Like a cucumber! That's what *she* said!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:49am From: Dick Raymond

It is quite possible to grow potatoes in barrels or deep containers, and carrots only require about a foot or so of depth. Always remember: carrots love tomatoes!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:50am From: Cecile

DCP
Get a big deep pot with a lot of sand. You can do it.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:50am From: Cecile

sandy soil...

Fri. 4/24/09 9:51am From: El Thatchmo

Doug-
You the brotherman, not the otherman!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:51am From: Cecile

Drummer Some loves the flora and the fauna.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:52am From: Yan Dart

Dude! It was Sammy Davis, Jr, not Flip Wilson.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:52am From: seamus

you can even hang your tomatoes with the new "topsy turvey"

Fri. 4/24/09 9:52am From: gumby

Screamin' Jay! He's my man!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:53am From: dc patpunkhippie

I just don't have enough room on the deck...maybe I'll make room for carrots this year....kids love 'em

Fri. 4/24/09 9:55am From: annieji

plant carrots in with tomatoes.. save room and fascinate your neighbours!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:55am From: seamus

kids love exploding carrots!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:55am From: gumby

This hippie tune is geting me in the mood to plant my butterfly/hummingbird garden tomorrow. Whahooo!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:57am From: Ralph Snodsmith

Yo, give the carrots some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fri. 4/24/09 9:57am From: dc patpunkhippierawkguy

ok, annieji, I'll do it.

Fri. 4/24/09 9:59am From: prickle

gumby. pokey, goo, and i are having a battle of the bands against the block-rockers and the metrognomes; want in?

Fri. 4/24/09 10:00am From: holland oats

doug it was great hearing you on npr last week talking about subjecting your newborn to coltrane!

Fri. 4/24/09 10:02am From: Seamus

I am really seriously considering that Topsy Turvey deal.

holland is it archived?

Fri. 4/24/09 10:02am From: Not Seamus, Cecile

see above

Fri. 4/24/09 10:04am From: gumby

Hmmm, Electric Toilet, sounds dangerous.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:05am From: JCityJensen

Hey Doug - how did you come across this great band The Electric Toilet? By chance, blog, or just plain curiosity

Fri. 4/24/09 10:05am From: seamus

first it was for putting your hair up. now... tomatoes? TOPSY TURVEY you are magic!

Fri. 4/24/09 10:06am From: annie-san

and he bought the company.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:07am From: Cecile

I KNOW.
But srsly. I will report back. I'm going to do it.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:07am From: holland oats

seamus - dunno - probly - though i wouldn't know how to search - i think the piece was about music and how it affects babies

Fri. 4/24/09 10:08am From: nasko

doug, it seems you should be informed about this site
http://awesometapesfromafrica.blogspot.com/

Fri. 4/24/09 10:08am From: dc patpunk

just go to the npr site and search Doug's name. It was about how to torture your new-borns w/ your obsessions...

Fri. 4/24/09 10:10am From: annie-san

hey it worked for my kid; in utero, no less, with headphones firmly planted. he now has a great distaste for bluegrass and opera!!

Fri. 4/24/09 10:11am From: chris

Oh my god Doug, you are in for a treat. Monsieur Funke is on WMBR out of Cambridge. You can find 2 archives of his most recent shows here if you click on "backwoods": http://wmbr.mit.edu/cgi-bin/arch

Fri. 4/24/09 10:12am From: still b/p

Fascinate Your Neighbors = GNF an album.
Electric Toilet..."I gotta go take a zap."
Tomato plants given to me in plastic buckets last year produced a prospective bounty, but very few fruits escaped splitting or mystery loss before ripening to supper status. Teaser plants.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:13am From: Drummer Some

Nasko,
Thanks for the tip. I have been all over that site since it first popped up. That blogger has been a guest on WFMU and once did our Saturday morning Listener Hour slot. Tons of great stuff there. Thanks for sharing!

Fri. 4/24/09 10:13am From: chris

He has been doing this show for like 14 years. He does alot of comical banter along with the great music

Fri. 4/24/09 10:14am From: dc punkpat

2 years ago one of my bucket tomato plants produced about 90 tomatoes over the season--regular sized not cherry toms..no chemicals, all organic

Fri. 4/24/09 10:18am From: American Dialect Society

"word up" is totally 1990. "word" is the word :-) dead ass!

wow Hendrix. Thanks.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:20am From: annie-san

what if i LIKED 1990? huh?? i am an equal opportunity cliche-user.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:20am From: seamus

ooooo, language police makes funny

Fri. 4/24/09 10:21am From: Parq

When it comes to gardening, I fear I am a consumer, not a producer. But oh what a consumer! Farm stands, here I come. Re 9:43 post, "Quagmire Garden" would be a good name for a band. Re Gumby 9:52, he's a wild man, so bug off. Doug, Awesome-Africa rules.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:21am From: dc pünk

yeah, word up annie-san

Fri. 4/24/09 10:22am From: Pirate

Aye, Drummer, your words break this scurvy old salt's heart. Arrrrr. *sniff*

Fri. 4/24/09 10:22am From: Language Police

Honestly, I didn't really expect a New England gardener to know "3 train to New Lots" lingo. was just helping out :-)

Fri. 4/24/09 10:23am From: annie

parq, it's similar to my attitude towards music. i may not know anything about it, but i consume it and SOMEONE has to be the listener or consumer, right?

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

Little bit of trivia about WMBR - their call letters used to be "WTBS", which they sold to Ted Turner ca. 1979. With the money they got, they were able to exapnd their operations, and that's how they first became the player they are now.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:27am From: chris

Interesting Parq. My fav shows on MBR currently are Backwoods, Lost and Found and the Intercontinental. Of course WFMU is my other favorite station!

Fri. 4/24/09 10:29am From: dc blackbeard

Fri. 4/24/09 10:43am From: Carmichael

Well good, I walked in on a lively conversation and some lovely tuneage. Good morning Doug and office-ionados <wave to PMP>.

DC Pat, I was going to recommend Indian food fo lunch, since they have so much veggie fare. And we're listening to Indian music. How about that?!? As Gil Fisher of the Fishin' Musician would say, "It's all makin' sense."

Fri. 4/24/09 10:44am From: Molly Bloom

You can count on it, me lad.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:45am From: still b/p

Relax, Aqualad, you don't have to play. The Joyce is yours.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:45am From: dc ulysses

Carm: hey good idea, not sure if there's any good Indian around here. ....heh, "good indian" that brings back horrific historical references...

Fri. 4/24/09 10:45am From: Leopold Bloom

So I says to him, I says, "You can kiss my Royal Irish arse." That's what I says to him.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:47am From: dc molly

Yes! Yes!! YES!!!

Fri. 4/24/09 10:47am From: J-Mar

This Ananda Shankar track is unbelievably awesome.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:47am From: Jimmy Jay

Fri. 4/24/09 10:47am From: Pearly Sweets

Fri. 4/24/09 10:47am From: Carmichael

This song is so good, I can actually smell tamarind sauce.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:47am From: Crawford

Bloom, you;re getting senile. That was me, near the end of episode 7.

Great tuneage from the Raj!!!!

1904 out!

Fri. 4/24/09 10:48am From: HotRod

Love me some Shankar!

Wow! Love this Rahul Ram Doug!! is it in the library?

Fri. 4/24/09 10:50am From: Parq

Is it just me, or does anyone else think this Rahul Ram track sounds Irish?

Fri. 4/24/09 10:50am From: Carmichael

Aarambh has a decidely Western beat.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:50am From: GP

Also to the archives for me..that first set looks amazing..or Doug, can you activate the reverse time machine please?

I DL'd this recently. This is a soundtrack for a film that just came out last month. Very controversial. Apparently.

Fri. 4/24/09 10:52am From: Carmichael

Twist the knife, PMP .... It's before 8 AM, so it's only blended whisky. The single malt comes out later.

I'm into my 3rd cuppa.

Doug, is there any McCoy Tyner hanging around the joint?

Fri. 4/24/09 11:12am From: annie

it was a haze, to be sure.. what fun was had

Fri. 4/24/09 11:15am From: Devin

Good morning.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:16am From: Drummer Some

Carmichael,
You are spot on with the McCoy Tyner thought, Would be a perfect selection in this (piano-based) mix. Alas, no time for Mr. Tyner today...

Fri. 4/24/09 11:16am From: Parq

I remember the sixties, but that's coz I was a grade-school kid. Worse, a Catholic grade-school kid.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:17am From: Parq

That said, when I look back nowadays on the 60s, I can scarcely believe they really happened.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:19am From: annie

parq, it was an amazing time. awesome in it's breadth of activity and activism.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:19am From: dc pat

60's: I remember going out one day, while my brother was being birthed, with my Batman costume on and on the corner I saw a kid with a Robin costume on. I said "Wanna play?" true story.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:21am From: Carmichael

You and me both Parq. I was a Catholic school kid in Ireland. In the belly of the beast, so to speak.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:21am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Fri. 4/24/09 11:23am From: GP

How could anyone not like this Enrico Rave/Blake song?
I've never heard this beofre now...and now want to hear MORE!

p.s.: Catholic school also..70's...still recovering ; )

Fri. 4/24/09 11:23am From: annie

for me, it was the best time... all that fm radio....

Fri. 4/24/09 11:24am From: Parq

Carm, was there anything in Dublin (or Galway or wherever) akin to the happenings in London? And did Irish 60s types favor the back-to-the-land hippie style that dominated San Francisco, or did they tend more toward the fashionistas-take-drugs types whom New York was all about?

Fri. 4/24/09 11:25am From: Duncan

top stuff from the sadly departed but remembered Mike Osborne

Fri. 4/24/09 11:25am From: Carmichael

When my family 1st came to California, my oldest sister drove us all over to San Fran to see the sights. Golden Gate Park, Haight Ashbury, etc .... It did indescribable things to my mind.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:25am From: dc pat

my brothers went to Catholick school but my Mom yanked 'em out by the time I was of school age. she didn't like all the violence

Fri. 4/24/09 11:29am From: Doug from DC

Yeah!

Fri. 4/24/09 11:30am From: still b/p

60s scars/gaps: Had to attend Irish step-dancing(!) class on Thursday nights, so never got to see how the Batman Wednesday cliffhanger turned out in the next night's episode. Catholic schoolmates had to fill me in. Terrible deprivation.

Sights: As a Yank visiting Londonderry, 1968 at age 9/10, I most remember miniskirts! It was the year before the troops took the streets.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:32am From: Parq

Regrettably, DC, my dad was totally down with all the violence. Was going to make me a man, he figured. It was my Dad who first took me to San Francisco, which remained his favorite second city all his life. With a like-minded local pal, he gave me a car tour of GG Park and the Hashbury, ca. 1970. They did their best to encourage moral outrage, but to me, it just looked sad. I remember two kids at the curb, selling a soft-porn newspaper - you remember the type - with eyes as vacant and indifferent as any I’d seen on down-and-out folks in New York.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:33am From: Parq

Parq, I grew up out in the weeds, so we still had the traditional lifestyle. No TV, only Irish radio and BBC1 sometimes. Dublin was trying to be as hip as London, but the Catholic church really had a deathgrip on societal values. You absolutely couldn't party there or grow your hair long. And the clubs were run by a cartel of dowdy old businessmen, so no one could perform there unless you were the Dubliners or the Copper Family. That's why everyone left for London or NY.

And that's also why Thin Lizzy is so revered. They broke out of the mold and really changed the way concerts were viewed as big business. Their Rainbow Room concert made the stiffs realize that there was big money out there.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:34am From: Austin Powers

Yea baybee, swinging London and all the birds in the short minis.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:37am From: Carmichael

You could do that in the North, as they were under British rule. I visited swingin' Belfast by train once, to visit a family elder who was going under. I remember the sweet things ...

Fri. 4/24/09 11:37am From: GP

Parq..pretty amazing that you picked up on that and still remember that from then. It must have been a powerful impression in a negative way.

Fri. 4/24/09 11:37am From: dc pat

man, lot of Irish folks on the comments..

Fri. 4/24/09 11:41am From: Cecile

Wow, I missed this, but so cool
And I love the Lizzy for what they represent, too.
And the fact Phil Lynott was a hell of a storyteller.

Speaking of the 60s, didn't Claudette Soares voice sound like a Brazilian Petula Clark....a little?

Does anyone know what instrument was making that "squeaking " sound on that Rey Jorado track?

That instrument is called a cuica. It's a friction drum used a lot in samba and other Brazilian music. They talk about it here. Takes too long for me to explain.
