Isn't Mr. Stingy volunteering today?

Fri. 6/12/09 9:24am From: still b/p

Fri. 6/12/09 9:25am From: dc pat

Drummer Some: great assessment of the awards industrial complex by the way. Couldn't agree more.

Fri. 6/12/09 9:43am From: Drummer Some

Ken,
I'll put together a Greek set for next week's throw down.

Fri. 6/12/09 9:46am From: Parq

What Pat said and then some on the award shows, DrumSum. I've felt that way for decades. Thanks for the newsletter add, b/t/w.

Fri. 6/12/09 9:46am From: still b/p

My Big Fat Greek Throwdown!

Fri. 6/12/09 9:47am From: annie

greek next week! eek! (yay)

Fri. 6/12/09 9:50am From: Parq

Exactly what I thought, Annie. Greek music? You mean like "Shout", "Wooly Bully", "Double Shot", that kinda thing?

Fri. 6/12/09 9:52am From: Zorba

Anyday of the week, Parq, but never on Sunday

Fri. 6/12/09 9:55am From: Parq

Felix [wants Oscar to dance with his new Greek girlfriend's father]: It's okay, don't worry, I saw this in 'Zorba the Greek'.

Oscar: It's *not* okay, I saw this in 'Boys in the Band'!

Fri. 6/12/09 9:57am From: annie

love that parq. is it next friday yet? huh is it>

Fri. 6/12/09 9:57am From: Cecile

what's that style of Greek singing that is really only truly authentic if the singer has lost an eye to syphilis and a finger or two in a knife fight?
(not my words, the late Keith Ferguson from the Fabulous Thunderbirds, etc.)

Fri. 6/12/09 9:58am From: Barack

Hopa!

Fri. 6/12/09 10:11am From: PMD

Fri. 6/12/09 10:20am From: annie

Fri. 6/12/09 10:21am From: texas scott

Fri. 6/12/09 10:24am From: annie

Fri. 6/12/09 10:25am From: Cecile

oh, the good old days before female orgasms

Fri. 6/12/09 10:36am From: anonymusk

And then Kinsey helped to paint the shudders.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:36am From: Drummer Some

Cecile,
Just lay back and think of Rufus Wainwright.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:36am From: Cecile

Ah, Rufus!

Fri. 6/12/09 10:37am From: Elizabeth

What am I, chopped liver?

Fri. 6/12/09 10:37am From: Cecile

Can't. I get too sad.
What a waste. It's like looking at a beautiful Fabrege egg you can never have. And that never wants you back. ;)

Fri. 6/12/09 10:39am From: Carmichael

Good morning Doug and innuendo-laced listeners. You got a strummy, folky thing goin' on here Doug. Baby Lemonade wouldn't be out of place at all here. Except for the "no-beat" part ...

Fri. 6/12/09 10:42am From: Roy Pea

Don't know if you mentioned this, Doug, but Hattie McDaniel's birthday was on Wednesday. I know this because that's my b-day as well. One I share with Elliot Spitzer, Bobby Jindal and John Yoo, as my younger bro so coldly pointed out. Luckily, people like Hattie M and Howlin' Wolf represent the other side of the Gemini!

Fri. 6/12/09 10:43am From: Mallory

Doug, I'd love to hear some Abner next week! I'll be listening. :)

Fri. 6/12/09 10:46am From: Drummer Some

Roy,
I did see that HM's b-day was 6/10. Forgot to mention it! Thanks for the backup.

Mallory,
Abner Jay is always welcome on the show. Can't promise when he'll reappear, but it shouldn't be too long.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:47am From: Parq

Vey ist mir, what did I miss, with all this Heit Report talk? Dang commute. Well, if it's Wainwrights you want, Loudi III and such family members as are still talking to him will be doing a live show in my front yard, Madison Square Park, next week.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:47am From: Carmichael

For some reason, I share my birthday with lots of musical people: Mark Knopfler, Pat Metheny, Buck Owens, Joe Jackson, and (the best name of all) Joe "Boogaloo" Jones.

Oh, and George Hamilton. We have yet to celebrate together.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:50am From: annie

lucky you parq!! you going?

Fri. 6/12/09 10:50am From: Carmichael

Parq, is he on the outs with his family? That's too bad. I saw Martha on TV and she speaks gushingly of him. He married one of the Roche sisters, if I recall?

Fri. 6/12/09 10:51am From: Cecile

I've got Clint Eastwood, Kyle Secor (Bayliss on Homicide), Johnny Paycheck and Joe Willie Namath! and Walt Whitman.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:51am From: Cecile

I know he and his dad don't get along.
I thought he and his mum and Martha were fine.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:52am From: Cecile

and Carm's twins!

Fri. 6/12/09 10:54am From: Parq

Sure hope to. He'll be joined by his other daughter (not Martha) and his niece. 'Cile, I'm led to believe that he is on the outs with Rufus because dad is jealous of son's success; sort of a paternal "Star Is Born" trip. I'd assumed that Martha had sided with Ruf. I'm glad to know she's still okay with pop; maybe I'm wrong about Ruf, too. In any event, neither Ruf nor Marti will be joining pop next week - barring unbilled "surprise" appearances.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:54am From: dc pat

I got Lucinda Williams and Eddie Van Halen on my b-day.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:55am From: PMD

Parq, wow... Wish I could go!

Fri. 6/12/09 10:55am From: Roy Pea

LW III seems to thrive on volatile family dynamics. Probably provides him with great material. His song "Surviving Twin" evokes the tension and competition he felt with his own father. Like father, like son, as they say.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:56am From: Cecile

Oh, I thought you were talking about Rufus, parq!

I think Martha did side with Rufus. Not sure.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:56am From: Carmichael

Yes, Cecile! They're another year closer to car keys .....

Fri. 6/12/09 10:56am From: Parq

Btw, don't know if DrumSum's got a gospel set planned, so I'll toss this out now. Did anyone else catch "Sinner's Crossroads" last night? Kev did a whole set of 70s-funk-style gospel songs. Really unusual. Wondered if it was genuine love of the form or just an attempt to "get the kids".

Fri. 6/12/09 10:56am From: PMD

I have Mark Knopfler, Pat Metheny

Fri. 6/12/09 10:57am From: Cecile

Yes, Roy Pea, he's never made any bones about being a great dad, but still it's kind of sad. Although it can produce good art.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:58am From: Carmichael

PMD, looks like we share birthdays. Maybe it explains a lot. :))

Fri. 6/12/09 10:58am From: dc pat

wait...so PMD you and Carmichael share a birthday!

Fri. 6/12/09 10:58am From: Parq

Oh, and my birthday kin include E.A. Poe, Janis J, Minn. Fats and George Gordon Lord Byron.

Fri. 6/12/09 10:59am From: GP

Morning all..jumping in to the conversation with Dennis Hopper, Enya!, Trent Reznor and Bill Paxton.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:00am From: Janet H

10:00 am here...

Fri. 6/12/09 11:00am From: Janet H

Fri. 6/12/09 11:01am From: annie

Fri. 6/12/09 11:02am From: PMD

Hey, great! I hadn't read all the comments I didn't catch up with. Carmichael - great day, eh? I like it. Meteor shower every year for us special people.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:02am From: Parq

Annie takes the prize for disproving astrology.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:03am From: Carmichael

The Gods smile on us ....

Fri. 6/12/09 11:04am From: Carmichael

She also takes the prize for the oddest pairing so far: Dubya & Fitty.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:04am From: annie

oh get this parq, his holiness was born in 35 and i in 53. extremely auspicious.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:05am From: Janet H

I share my b-day with paul mccartney

Fri. 6/12/09 11:05am From: annie

my mother loves to rub it in about dubya

Fri. 6/12/09 11:06am From: Carmichael

Here we go, JAZZ SET!!!!

Fri. 6/12/09 11:08am From: Carmichael

Oh my. I just read that I also share my day with Miss Cleo and Plaxico Burress. Kinda takes the piss out of that celebration.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:08am From: still b/p

Roman Emperor Valentinian III, Hermann Hesse, Walter Brennan, Thurgood Marshal, Ahmad Jamal, Lindsay Lohan.
And which of them tallied the most birthday shots? It wasn't me.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:08am From: annie

this musical journey on which you lead us each week, doug, is thorough and ever so pleasant!

Fri. 6/12/09 11:11am From: Parq

Turns out my day has a country hat-trick: Dolly Parton, Phil Everly and Lester Flatt.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:15am From: holland oats

i <3 eric dolphy

Fri. 6/12/09 11:23am From: Cecile

Ah, yes, Arthur Blythe.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:41am From: Parq

JL Hooker time soon. Another great morning of not getting work done. Thanks, DrumSum!

Fri. 6/12/09 11:42am From: Drummer Some

Parq,
I take full responsibility.

Annie,
Your warm comment earlier made me smile.

Holland,
Me freakin too!

Fri. 6/12/09 11:45am From: annie

smilin back doug :)

Fri. 6/12/09 11:49am From: Mallory

This has been a really kick ass set.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:49am From: Roy Pea

The Dalai Lama and Dubya share a birthday?! And people are skeptical about astrology!

Fri. 6/12/09 11:50am From: annie

yeah, roy.. very odd. almost cosmic

Fri. 6/12/09 11:51am From: Roy Pea

Looks like Annie already made the same comment. Pardon the redundancy. Does anyone else find it hard to believe that Dennis Hopper became a Republican?

Fri. 6/12/09 11:52am From: annie

all those damn hippies have to grow up sometime!! <s>

Fri. 6/12/09 11:54am From: GP

Never assume anything rational about Dennis : )

Fri. 6/12/09 11:54am From: Carmichael

Doug, you can get funky like this any old time. It ain't good music unless you can say "Ugh!"

Fri. 6/12/09 11:54am From: Parq

Roy, I find Jon Voight's awakening <s> even more bizzare.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:54am From: annie

that's what makes him so wonderful

Fri. 6/12/09 11:55am From: Drummer Some

Everybody say it with me

UGH!

Thank you.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:55am From: Roy Pea

God, your are so right about Voight, Parq! He must be suffering flashbacks from Deliverance.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:56am From: annie

there has to be some kind of pendulum thing, the odder you are when young, the straighter you get as you age? hehe, I REFUSE!!!!! mwwhahahahaha

Fri. 6/12/09 11:56am From: alexey

aaaaa!!! yes!! amazing track! i love this show!! greetings from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

Fri. 6/12/09 11:56am From: annie
