home page is not reset for your show doug.

Fri. 11/20/09 9:14am Parq:

Doug, the home page is still showing Hot Rod's show. I had to come in the back door through your playlist page (as, I assume, did Annie). Tell the powers that be to disconnect HR's list.

Fri. 11/20/09 9:15am sneaky pete:

:)

Fri. 11/20/09 9:15am Drummer Some:

Wish I knew how to rectify this. Blissfully ignorant is what I yam. Glad you made it across the great technodivide.

Fri. 11/20/09 9:17am annie:

Fri. 11/20/09 9:17am El Thatchmo:

El T, Chillin in the Hizzie, watchin the Jewish Mathematician spin his wax (or a reasonable facsimile) with his mind's eye!

(*disclaimer- Florida is a wonderful place to visit, not necessarily to live [lived there for 20 years].

Fri. 11/20/09 9:31am texas scott:

Fri. 11/20/09 9:31am dc pat:

Fri. 11/20/09 9:35am dc pat:

how can you hate popcorn? what a dope..

Fri. 11/20/09 9:36am Adrian in London:

Hey dc pat: not to keep banging on about Le Main de Dieu, but this should cheer you up. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/the-ten-best-acts-of-sportsmanship-1823706.html?action=Popup&ino=1

Fri. 11/20/09 9:42am Adrian in London:

"La" Main, of course

Fri. 11/20/09 9:42am dc pat:

Fri. 11/20/09 9:45am Hugo:

You can get lost in there:

Fri. 11/20/09 9:56am dc pat:

you're right there Hugo...

Fri. 11/20/09 9:57am Parq:

Re music blogs, anyone who hasn't yet checked out FMU's Ichiban blog (link off main page) badly needs to do so.

Fri. 11/20/09 9:57am Hugo:

Google is pretty fast, eh? Just did a search on the Charles Hargro tune in the last set and it's already there as the first item on the list - from today's playlist.

Fri. 11/20/09 9:58am Adrian in London:

Yeah Roddick seems nice. You know he befriended a London Black Cab driver? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/columnists/paul_kimmage/article6493136.ece By the excellent Paul Kimmage

Fri. 11/20/09 10:00am chris:

this guy sounds like Tego Calderon

Fri. 11/20/09 10:00am chris:

oh, I guess it is...

Fri. 11/20/09 10:00am jk:

it is tego, for sure

Fri. 11/20/09 10:02am Listener Dave from NH:

Oh, that's where I know this song from - it was in a super great mix the Riddim Method put together a few years back.

Fri. 11/20/09 10:03am Corporate Slacker:

Maldonado - great track Doug - blasting out in Warwick UK

Fri. 11/20/09 10:06am Cecile:

Good morning all!

Fri. 11/20/09 10:08am dc pat:

Adrian, I like that Roddick actually has a brain and is pretty witty. All these tennis guys live in such a gilded world but sometimes he seems pretty down to earth.

Fri. 11/20/09 10:17am annie:

hi cecile!

Fri. 11/20/09 10:19am Cecile:

hi, annie.
This Morgan reminds me of someone...I can't put my finger on this....it's great, though.

Fri. 11/20/09 10:21am dc pat:

it reminds me of being freaked out because this tune freaks me out...

Fri. 11/20/09 10:24am north guinea hills:

nice ken hyder.

Fri. 11/20/09 10:24am Kat:

I dig the Neal Morgan

Fri. 11/20/09 10:25am Drunk right now:

Is it just me, or does Neal Morgan remind you of Karl Blau in a pleasant way?

Fri. 11/20/09 10:25am Cecile:

I know!

Space Needle! It reminds me of Space Needle!

Fri. 11/20/09 10:26am north guinea hills:

I was thinking the same thing. I love the first Space Needle record.

Fri. 11/20/09 10:27am Cecile:

me, too.
But you know that one song, the one where they harmonize over those churning drums?

Fri. 11/20/09 10:28am Drummer Some:

If I've got it right, Neal's record is not ON Drag City, but it's being distributed by Drag City.

@Drunk right now
The Karl Blau reference is an excellent observation. Their singing voices have that same direct, spokenish, unvarnished quality.

Here's the Neal rekkid:

Fri. 11/20/09 10:30am north guinea hills:

the one that has the line, "i wouldn't close my eyes...to the world."?

Fri. 11/20/09 10:32am Dr. Rick Marshall:

Good morning Doug and everyone in WFMU Land. The show is great as it is every firday morning. Doug I was wondering if you can play some Amazing Amar today?

Fri. 11/20/09 10:32am Cecile:

Fri. 11/20/09 10:34am annie:

Fri. 11/20/09 10:34am Cecile:

YES

Fri. 11/20/09 10:35am texas scott:

YES!!

Fri. 11/20/09 10:35am annie:

Fri. 11/20/09 10:37am Dr. Rick Marshall:

You can get real close to ecstasy if Doug plays some Amazing Amar

Fri. 11/20/09 10:37am Cecile:

Fri. 11/20/09 10:38am annie:

Fri. 11/20/09 10:48am Carmichael:

Hiya Annie!

Fri. 11/20/09 10:53am brian:

Fri. 11/20/09 10:55am Drummer Some:

@North Guinea
What, you think the Drummer can't his house on?! There are many arrows in my quiver, Son. >>>>Twang!>>>

Fri. 11/20/09 10:58am Dr. Rick Marshall:

Ok... If no Amazing Amar, then can you play some awesome steel pan solos

Fri. 11/20/09 11:01am annie:

it's a good thing i am not driving now.. otherwise i would be arrested for druid-ism.. driving under the influence of drumming

Fri. 11/20/09 11:01am Hugo:

Just listen to the horns - and you know it's Syliphone ...

Fri. 11/20/09 11:02am north guinea hills:

haha, just joshing, doug. :)

Fri. 11/20/09 11:04am Drummer Some:

@NGH
You know I love you (now can I have my arrow back?)

Fri. 11/20/09 11:05am Dr. Rick Marshall:

Come on just a little steel pan music

Fri. 11/20/09 11:07am Parq:

As usual, GDS is an All-U-Can-Eat Buffet of sounds.

Fri. 11/20/09 11:08am gumby:

If I were to have any more kids. I would definately name them Godwin Ironbar Gumby

Fri. 11/20/09 11:09am Cecile:

GIG for short

Fri. 11/20/09 11:09am monica:

mornin', doug! great seeing at the mini-marathon. the sounds are intoxicating, as always!

Fri. 11/20/09 11:10am Cecile:

Hey, the Maquis were the rebel group in Star Trek Deep Space 9. I guess when they weren't doing sorties into Federation territory, they were a great high-lift style band...

Fri. 11/20/09 11:11am Cecile:

high-life

Fri. 11/20/09 11:12am Drummer Some:

@Monica
Likewise to you, Monica. Reminded me of those halcyon Fridays when were back-to-back!

Fri. 11/20/09 11:13am Drummer Some:

@Cecile
These are the SAME guys who were on Star Trek!!!! (Well, not really, actually.)

Fri. 11/20/09 11:18am Cecile:

LOL. Doug.
That would be cool, though if they had an episode with a Zairean band playing in the Officer's Lounge or something.

Fri. 11/20/09 11:19am Hugo:

Exquisite piece of congolese that one - ideally it should go on forever ... ah it ended ...

Fri. 11/20/09 11:28am Chicago Joel:

Great track, Doug! Love the two basses.

Fri. 11/20/09 11:30am LizGig:

Shall we dance?

Fri. 11/20/09 11:32am Parq:

Great Dexter. People of a certain age (ie, mine) will remember when practically all the singers on TV variety shows were doing this one.

Fri. 11/20/09 11:33am Drummer Some:

@Joel
Not surprised that you'd dig the double bass action.

Fri. 11/20/09 11:35am Joel:

This Roswell Rudd is great too, hadn't heard this one yet. Great melody.

Fri. 11/20/09 11:38am Tref:

reminds me of Fables of Faubus by Mingus

Fri. 11/20/09 11:40am Hugo:

There will allways be room for Marion Brown ... and Charles Tyler ...

Fri. 11/20/09 11:54am Chris:

And especially Sonny Simmons

Fri. 11/20/09 11:56am Carmichael:

Thanks once again Doug for the superior sounds.

Fri. 11/20/09 11:57am annie:
