Moring everyone

Fri. 5/8/09 9:12am From: Parq

Ah, a puppah song for Annie. Are you going to get yourself together and take some pictures, or am I gonna have to come up there and do it for you?

Fri. 5/8/09 9:14am From: Bad Ronald

This is a killer set thus far!

Fri. 5/8/09 9:15am From: annie

hehe,,, parq, this camera blows. the batteries go off after one picture. today is a nice day to take pics outside. still have yet to go down and get the proper accoutrements for the computer loading process... i'm still stuck here without wheels. and the mule is on vacation. feel free to come up, though parq! ;)

Fri. 5/8/09 9:21am From: dc pat

I think FMU needs to send one of those donated jalopies to annie.

Fri. 5/8/09 9:22am From: annie

i like that! bob is coming up this weekend, then i get the necessaries.

Fri. 5/8/09 9:25am From: texas scott

hope you get that mule back,annie!

Fri. 5/8/09 9:25am From: Parq

Doug, yes! There's your 2010 'thon premium right there.

Fri. 5/8/09 9:26am From: annie

Fri. 5/8/09 9:27am From: texas scott

Fri. 5/8/09 9:30am From: texas scott

i like the mule idea better...

Fri. 5/8/09 9:31am From: annie

i do too scott.. gotta figure out where to put it...

Fri. 5/8/09 9:32am From: texas scott

oh,just parq it in the shed...

Fri. 5/8/09 9:35am From: Concerned Parent

I only wish my kid would not wash properly for just one month.

Fri. 5/8/09 9:36am From: still b/p

Sidecar on one critter for another critter could be rigged...there are always mule variations.

Fri. 5/8/09 9:37am From: dc pat

annie3! what if the side car comes loose en route?!?

Fri. 5/8/09 9:37am From: gumby

If Goldie doesn't wash for a month, the stars ain't gonna be the only thing in her eyes.

Fri. 5/8/09 9:39am From: annie

maybe i'll go amish and get a cart. pat, i'll chain it on. when the pup gets big enough i can use her to run a sled in winter!

Fri. 5/8/09 9:41am From: Trekkie XII

Star Trek is AWESOME

Fri. 5/8/09 9:42am From: annie

i want to see it... i know it'll come here.. maybe see it twice!

Fri. 5/8/09 9:44am From: still b/p

128k mp3 stream -- she don't work this morning on two different computers. This is me or WFMyou? My introduction to Hank is worth more than the low-flow.

Fri. 5/8/09 9:49am From: dc pat

well..ok. Tracy Morgan was talking about sidecars and dogs last night and I just got worried...

Fri. 5/8/09 9:50am From: annie

i'll be careful..

Fri. 5/8/09 9:57am From: Tom

Doug's voice ... and then that unmistakeable approach - the journey from one region and style to a whole other continent and back again, dots connected along the way. It must be Friday!

Fri. 5/8/09 9:59am From: annie

pat, for the first two years when my son was born, he rode on the back of the bike all over dc. tiny little body with a huge helmet. he always fell asleep on the ride.

funny, tom,i was thinking the same thing.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:04am From: dc pat

Nice, annie--good way to get around this town. It's funny, stroller, bike, car = sleep for the little folk. So you lived in dc, what, 20 years ago?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:05am From: annie

yeah. kensington, bethesda, silver spring..

Fri. 5/8/09 10:06am From: Drummer Some

Bethesda? That's where I was growed up!

Fri. 5/8/09 10:08am From: annie

my best memory is the bijou(?) cinema on wisconsin ave that served food as you watched the movie.. i loved that place..

Fri. 5/8/09 10:09am From: annie

i worked for smith,thomas and smith, the contractors, then for johnson's flowers in kensington

Fri. 5/8/09 10:10am From: gumby

What a great Smokey & the M's track, never heard this one. Thanks Doug.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:12am From: dc pat

nothing like watching movies in a theater and drinking beer/eating pizza. Kensington, that's where Conn Ave ends, right?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:14am From: annie

, its where university starts and conn continues north. university heads east towards the university... way out there.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:15am From: El Thatchmo...

Didn't I meet you on Mars?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:17am From: DJ Bongohead

Nice way to do a friday Doug! From Cuban bliss on SAR to down & dirty Detroit black rock with the Merda crew!!! Play some afrobeat if you get the chance, or something from Analog Africa's vodoun set for Ply-Ritmo, please. And cumbia too! Give me yr address & I will send you some CDs I've worked on. Do you get Vampisoul releases? Peace & Rhythm/Paz Y Ritmo, Pablo "Cocinando" Yglesias

Fri. 5/8/09 10:18am From: dc pat

oh yeah, you're right...don't get up there much.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:20am From: annie

i delivered flowers for johnson's. and worked in the bedding plants/nursery dept. loved the driving. it's where i learned how to drive a truck and van, in all that traffic and the beltway...

Fri. 5/8/09 10:21am From: cecile

hola, gang!

Fri. 5/8/09 10:21am From: annie

cecile!!! you're awake! feeling better?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:22am From: Cecile

yup to both

Fri. 5/8/09 10:23am From: texas scott

cecile,glad you're feeling better.did the percs work?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:23am From: annie

i was gonna call you, something told me to let you sleep... glad you're feeling better.. it's the drugs....

Fri. 5/8/09 10:24am From: Parq

G'morning, 'Cile, Kind of like a hangover without the build-up, yeah?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:25am From: cecile

They did, TS.
Thanks for doing that Annie. I needed it. the percs mess with my sleep cycle.
Yes, exactly, Parq. That's it exactly

Fri. 5/8/09 10:26am From: Reactionary

Spontaneousness frightens me.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:27am From: Cecile

hey Doug, have you heard the Death disc. What do you think about it?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:31am From: Drummer Some

Cecile,
Please school me. What's the Death disc?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:31am From: texas scott

cecile,that death disc is the bomb!
the 'where do we go from here' song keeps playin over and
over in my head...

Fri. 5/8/09 10:34am From: cecile

Death is this awesome all-brothers black rock band from Detroit. They put out one single Politicians in My Eyes in 1975, which I never knew about. They found the unreleased album.

My friend and I think it sounds like Funkadelic, Love and the Sonics Rendezvous Band if HR from the Bad Brains were singing lead vocs. It's new on Thrill Jockey.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:35am From: Cecile

sorry Drag CIty. It should be in the new bin

Fri. 5/8/09 10:37am From: cecile

wow Joe harriot I never knew about

Fri. 5/8/09 10:38am From: texas scott

death album entitled, 'For The Whole World To See'

Fri. 5/8/09 10:39am From: Cecile

yup thanks, TS.
One of the bros passed about 9 yrs ago. But it's out in the open now

Fri. 5/8/09 10:40am From: annie

i just watched the trailer for star trek; gratuitous sex scenes? in a star trek movie?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:41am From: cecile

Sounds good to me. That movie is going to be amazing

Fri. 5/8/09 10:42am From: texas scott

yeah,can you believe it,annie.
guess it tells the story of kirk's beginnings...
horndog that he was...

Fri. 5/8/09 10:42am From: annie

call me a prude, but start trek never went for that kind of stuff before did they?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:44am From: texas scott

not really in that sense.
but on the tv show, kirk was always coming on to alien chicks...

Fri. 5/8/09 10:45am From: annie

tru dat, but it was always suggested and off camera. hhmm. i'm thinkin' on this one..

Fri. 5/8/09 10:46am From: texas scott

...kinda like the Batman/Catwoman paridigm

Fri. 5/8/09 10:47am From: Bad Ronald

Fri. 5/8/09 10:47am From: Drummer Some

Cecile,
Oh YEAH, that Death! Funny story: Nearly every Thanksviging, me and the family go up to Vermont to stay with friends who built a lovely lodge in the woods. A bunch of folks come up from NYC and some from Boston and even sometimes from Chicago and other locations. Same group has been gathering for T-Giving for more than 20 years. (My absolute favorite holiday ritual.) Well, one year about 10 years ago, we all headed over to a bar one night during the Thanksviging weekend. It was a drinking establishment that serves the skiers vacationing at the Mt. Snow ski area and the bar was full of the whitest people you've ever seen. Blinding in fact. (Not that our group wasn't adding to the incandescense, mind you.) Anyway, there was a really, Really, REALLY bad reggae band playing live and everyone around us was just grooving big time. I was nearly gagging from the ersatzness.

Well, a few weeks ago, the New York Times ran a huge article on Death and how they kinda fell off the map after making just a few brilliant proto-punk records. The article went on to say that the brothers ended up moving to Vermont where they'd reinvented themselves as a reggae band.

Oh the horror! It was definitely them. I literally screamed Nooooo! when I saw the picture accompanying the article.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:48am From: texas scott

...has bryce's show started?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:49am From: annie

don't get me wrong, i like a skin flick now and then, but to uncover what was meant to be covert and sacred to the "purity" of the show.. well. nothing is sacred anymore..

Fri. 5/8/09 10:50am From: stingy d

i know this makes me a fuckin nerd in the heaviest way but erstaz is the best word

Fri. 5/8/09 10:50am From: annie

great story doug, albeit sad...

Fri. 5/8/09 10:50am From: Parq

Annie, believe me, if Roddenberry could have gotten away in 1967 with actually showing J. Tiberius porking alien honeys, he would have done so in a minute. Remember the episode with Kirk pulling his boots on while the alien babe stood at the mirror brushing her hair? The only thing that's changed is the applicable set of mores.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:51am From: Cecile

Aw, Doug.
Well, they should have stuck to the rock. Because the stuff is great.

I love ersatz.

Parq is right, Annie. Listen to Parq. Rodenberry was the biggest horndog ever.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:51am From: dc pat

Cecile: you're right on with that Death singer = HR comparison. I was thinking the same thing

Drummer some: nice story. I too adore T-day.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:53am From: annie

i dig ya parq, but even in any of the newer series, it was all off-screen, guess i like some of it left to the imagination, makes it tittilating. (i like THAT word) but i guess going with the roddenberry thing........hold on have to walk the dog..

Fri. 5/8/09 10:54am From: Drummer Some

Hey, playing 18-minute songs means I get to tell long stories in Comments. Woo-hoo!

Fri. 5/8/09 10:55am From: cecile

I dig what you're saying, Annie.
say hi to viking dog

and we love you for it, Doug

Fri. 5/8/09 10:56am From: dc pat

one time I was down at the beach and I saw that "Junior Murvin" was playing one town away. I got a lot of people to go....turns out it was "Junior Marvin"! and he was no Murvin.

Fri. 5/8/09 10:57am From: listener

whats happened to wfmu this sucks, nonsense. i cant even turn anyone on the the station because of crap like this !

Fri. 5/8/09 10:57am From: Happy Listener

Wow, did Bryce take over early?

Fri. 5/8/09 10:58am From: Parq

T-Scott has a point, but just keep doing your thing, man. [Shoutout to Strongbad fans]

Fri. 5/8/09 10:58am From: dc pat

piss off listener, ithis is gold!

Fri. 5/8/09 10:59am From: Pieter

This is indeed marvallous, just what I need just before leaving work

Fri. 5/8/09 10:59am From: Parq

Listener, remember my favorite FMU motto: if you don't like what you hear, come back in half an hour and we'll play something else you hate. In this case, come back after noon, and I can pretty much guarantee you'll be alienated.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:01am From: dc pat

Parq, much more eloquent than my outburst. I tend to always go for the punk version...

Fri. 5/8/09 11:01am From: Bad Ronald

I recommend a date with Kenny G.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:02am From: listneer

thank U much better now. ya ya i know how it works - but why? you should never play nonsense

Fri. 5/8/09 11:02am From: fred

Indeed, dc pat, this really rekindles my appreciation for Evan Parker. It needed some fuel after seeing too many routine performances of his lately (with the bottom being smashed through by his pairing with squarepusher)

Fri. 5/8/09 11:04am From: lolhepcat

iz not nonsense. iz cool.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:04am From: Happy Listener

Please don't confuse me with the mere "listneer". I actually like Bryce and Evan Parker, too!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:05am From: texas scott

it's all nonsense,listener...really,really GOOD nonsense.
hey Doug,keep the stories coming!!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:06am From: Happy Listener

Everything is nonsense to some.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:06am From: dc pat

not just good nonsense but FREE nonsense (in many ways)

Fri. 5/8/09 11:07am From: Happy Listener

*dies laughing at pat

Fri. 5/8/09 11:08am From: gumby

Hear the nonsense
Feel the nonsense
Be the nonsense

Fri. 5/8/09 11:08am From: dc pat

I think you should ALWAYS play nonsense or you'll never get anywhere

Fri. 5/8/09 11:09am From: Happy Listener

Oops, almost forgot. Ohaiyo bakayaro!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:12am From: texas scott

...and then BOOM!...mike cooper, outta nowhere...

Fri. 5/8/09 11:12am From: dc pat

honestly, the more out there WFMU gets the better it is for us all. It's like an explorer or an astronaut--they do their job so you don't have to.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:13am From: texas scott

AMEN! ,dc pat

Fri. 5/8/09 11:16am From: annie

ok, i'll see it and raise you ten.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:18am From: El Thatchmo...

As the President of my universe, I declare today DOUG SCHULKIND DAY!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:18am From: texas scott

annie,you're back...
how does your pup(and garden) grow?

Fri. 5/8/09 11:18am From: Cecile

mmmm, drifitng away on a mcmuffin and perc haze. later, taters

Fri. 5/8/09 11:19am From: Parq

It's bugged me about FMU listeners for decades, and it's time to say it - where does *anyone* get off saying, in effect, "this is not to my personal taste, so you shouldn't ever air it at all"? In the 80s, the post-marathon comments mailings would always include complaints about the punk shows, Pat and his colleagues. What nerve! As if any of us has some kind of power of veto!

Okay, switching off "grouch" mode. Let's talk some more about Annie's puppy!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:20am From: Cecile

ISA!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:22am From: annie

wonderful scott.. i just tried to take a couple pics but the stupid camera shuts off. ggrrrrr, today i plant cranberries and potatoes.. .. Isa is one feisty pup, sharp teeth and very much part husky. Isa, cecile.!!!! i won't be able to get pics til i have a diff camera. believe me i am grumbling..

Fri. 5/8/09 11:23am From: VG

Relax guys. It was just a comment, not a guy with a bulldozer.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:24am From: texas scott

Parq...decades,really?
since discovering fmu last november,it's the only radio,i listen to...
that and making my own cds,following fmu's loose guidelines,that is...

Fri. 5/8/09 11:24am From: cecile

it's just our nature to close ranks around Doug.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:25am From: fred

Parq, I for one am grateful there I times I just don't like what's being played: how would I catch up with archived shows otherwise?

Fri. 5/8/09 11:25am From: texas scott

i thought cranberries were grown in a bog....

Fri. 5/8/09 11:25am From: Parq

T-Scott, 30 years come September!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:26am From: annie

scott, they can be grown anywhere where the soil is damp. the water is used to help the harvest.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:27am From: texas scott

~~~WOW~~~ ,an WFMU elder!
i dig it,Parq.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:28am From: dc pat

well the whole point is to expand the mind. It is weird that if you end up here you would get pissed at the certain aspects of the programming. But at the same time, it's all free so complaints should be acceptable too...as long as we can say piss off!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:28am From: texas scott

thx,annie.i know potatoes,and now i know cranberries!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:28am From: dc pat

annie, I put carrots and onions in with my tomatoes. the kids are gonna love pulling carrots up.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:29am From: Cecile

yes, exactly.
now i"m going to piss off. Really, this time.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:29am From: jon

Does anyone know if the swag has been all sent out yet? I haven't got a drop yet, and I was just wonderin'.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:30am From: dc pat

OH I get it--the water makes cranberries float!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:30am From: texas scott

piss well.'cile!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:31am From: annie

i've listened to many radio stations in my life. all i can say is this stuff is pretty reminiscent to what am-radio used to be looong ago. i crave the off-beat and new music, no matter which dj plays it. fine cecile, sleep well. yes pat, that's the trick.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:33am From: Parq

Scott, smile when you say "elder". I prefer "geezer". My real preference is for "codger", but for FMU purposes, that's taken.

Jon, if past experience is an accurate guide, they are sending the stuff out in reverse size place - the bigger your swag pile, the later it will go out. The theory is, if you're willing to donate that much money to the station, you're willing to be patient. Mouse pledges and up may not go out until mid-summer.

Joe McG, excuse me for presuming to speak for you.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:34am From: jon

Parq, thanks for the info. I feel much better now!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:34am From: texas scott

Parq.....*****smiling*****

Fri. 5/8/09 11:35am From: annie

parq, that means i'm getting my cd from trouble soon!!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:35am From: GP

Dang it, getting in too late yet again, but awfully glad to be here ya'll.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:36am From: jon

Meic Stevens is really great. Thanks for the track, Doug!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:36am From: annie

morning gp!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:37am From: GP

Annie...<waves gardening shovel>

Fri. 5/8/09 11:37am From: Parq

Actually, our own Stingy D is volunteering today, and just might be stuffing *your* swag into a box as we speak. Or whatever you call what we're doing.

Fri. 5/8/09 11:39am From: annie

gp, mostly i get on my knees and dig with the trowel and three-tined fork. i like to be near the soil. yay to stingy!!!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:43am From: texas scott

ahhh,annie...the sweet smell of dirt!!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:43am From: GP

Good for Stingy..at least you can watch over him there...just make sure nothing "extra" get added to the packages..he he

Fri. 5/8/09 11:43am From: youbetcha!!

:)

Fri. 5/8/09 11:51am From: annie

doug, your show is one in a million! what joy!!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:53am From: Joe

You said it, Annie!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:54am From: still b/p

VERY good today. Put a dollah on the drummah's brow!

Fri. 5/8/09 11:54am From: Drummer Some

Thanks Annie! It makes me happy to read your encouragement. And thanks to all.

Sat. 5/9/09 6:38am From: Richard D
