Fri. 1/8/10 9:03am Charcutero:

Good Morning from South Jersey! Looking forward to your set.

Fri. 1/8/10 9:05am Bob:

When you said "Chili Peppers" you gave me a scare--I thought you were referring to the band.

Fri. 1/8/10 9:08am Drummer Some:

Morning Charcutero and the assembled masses.

@Bob
That wasn't my plan, but the SAME thought popped in my head just as I said it!

Fri. 1/8/10 9:11am Real Kid Roy:

Ok, FMUers, give the Beantown listener some (energy, prayers, thoughts, what have you)! REALLY need to find work in 2010, hopefully at a company cool enough to lemme listen to Doug, Monica (via archive), etc.

Fri. 1/8/10 9:30am Howie, aka Javiere:

The world is truly a better place w/ Doug's show - he has enlightened us all with music that truly reaches the depths of our souls, and it all started with a show called 'Tenor Madness' in a small town 35 miles southeast of Cleveland back in the early 80's!...THANK YOU DOUG!

Fri. 1/8/10 9:31am Drummer Some:

As only you would know, Brother Howie!

Fri. 1/8/10 9:38am C:

fun fact #207 - the gibson meastro was the first mass produced distorion pedal.

Fri. 1/8/10 9:44am Howie:

yes, the fist play of 'Tenor Madness' did in fact skip, but was anyone really listening?

Fri. 1/8/10 9:54am dc apt:

C: really? not some Vox contraption??

Fri. 1/8/10 10:06am texas scott:

t texas tyler...was he from my hometown of tyler,Doug?

Fri. 1/8/10 10:12am Drummer Some:

@Texas Scott
Naw, he was from Mena, Arkansas

Fri. 1/8/10 10:14am north guinea hills:

and T. texas tyler lived later in his life in Los Angeles

Fri. 1/8/10 10:15am C:

@dc pat - yeah, im pretty sure it was the gibson but i could be very wrong. i have one and its my favorite pedal..

Fri. 1/8/10 10:18am C:

@dc pat - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzbox

Fri. 1/8/10 10:20am Paul Sherratt:

At last ! The Muddleduck Brothers on radio

Fri. 1/8/10 10:22am still b/p:

Givin' the pointer some: Just want to report I grabbed the Complete Stax/Volt singles some weeks ago. Only put about 50 of the tracks on a pair of CDs so far, but enjoying the collection a lot. Thanks, Doug.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:23am dc apt:

C: nice. I've never used one. I'm bored with all my pedals...

Fri. 1/8/10 10:25am C:

dc - i like it because its simple and has that great old world charm.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:28am PMD:

I could use something soothing. Root canal. Oh wait, your whole show is soothing.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:28am dc pat:

yeah, simple. I'm using something called a Blue Tube right now that has a tube in it. Too many knobs but it does the trick for me I guess.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:30am dc apt:

oh yeah, this is my kind of set...

Fri. 1/8/10 10:34am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug, and happy payday for those who are so blessed. One day of solvency.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:38am C:

dc - http://zvex.com/ - they make some really cool pedals.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:41am Carmichael:

re: pedals, I have a shoebox full of old single pedals I used in series until I found the wonder of the Boss ME-50 floor unit.

Although I now use a Line 6 unit, I still have my old Bluesbreaker pedal at thready.

Aaah, toys ....

Fri. 1/8/10 10:46am dc apt:

I've always been into pedals but secretly envious of guys who don't need 'em. Like d. boone turning up the treble all the way and bass down all the way to get his sound. (Although he prob used a pedal or 2 too)

Fri. 1/8/10 10:48am C:

i get very frustrated with pedals too but need to hide behind something.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:50am dc apt:

C: right, same here. guy like d. was good enough he didn't need to hide.

Fri. 1/8/10 10:51am north guinea hills:

Festival au Desert Mali looks good this year. Too bad I don't have time/money to go to Mali. http://www.festival-au-desert.org/schedule-artistlist.html

Fri. 1/8/10 10:51am C:

ive met members of the art ansemble over the years - should i mention that to my matchmaker?

Fri. 1/8/10 10:58am J-Mar:

Hey Mr. Drummer Some,
Any idea what happened to Loronix? I noticed Zeca hasn't updated anything on his site since last fall....

Fri. 1/8/10 11:00am ?:

the original issue Morley Power-Wah-Fuzz pedal is what does it for me; I think they did a reissue about 10 years ago, but I never heard one . . .

Fri. 1/8/10 11:01am Drummer Some:

@J-Mar
That is the $1,000,000 question. I keep checking back, but... nothing. If I am remembering correctly, a year or more ago, there was a reference to someone's ill health. I may be wrong, but I'm hoping for the best.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:06am dc apt:

this Suba tune is wild, man.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:07am Carmichael:

When I first heard the keyboard on this song, I thought, "Alan Parsons Project: Wouldn't Want to Be Like You." Strange ...

Fri. 1/8/10 11:12am C:

that suba reminded me of the recent jauna molina album.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:24am Paul Sherratt:

Fellow listeners, how soon does the archive for this show go up ...



PS. The Muddleduck Brothers decided to change their stage name to The York Brothers for marketing reasons ..

Fri. 1/8/10 11:27am Drummer Some:

@Paul
The archive usually gets posted within 30-45 minutes!

Am I allowed to say Muddleduck on the radio?

Fri. 1/8/10 11:31am C:

The Muddleduck is a great distortion pedal too.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:33am Sim:

Only if you use it in a really good sentence. Like, the gay marriage bill didn't pass in NJ b/c some muddleduck voted against it.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:34am Hugo:

Still muddling through?

Fri. 1/8/10 11:35am anti:

Jemima Muddleduck

Fri. 1/8/10 11:42am Motherboy 30:

i had a muddleduck as a kid. his name was charlie. we ate him on christmas day 1977. i loved charlie.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:43am Hugo:

Actually, it was "The Science of "Muddling Through", published in 1959, followed 20 years later by "Still Muddling, Not Yet Through".

As you can see, I'm still in my office with easy access to my books. Two very good articles, those two, for those interested in that kind of thing ...

Fri. 1/8/10 11:45am Paul Sherratt:

Delightful set No ? Mr DJ!

Motherboy,
Tear me up, why don't you ..

Fri. 1/8/10 11:45am Hugo:

Mining the Muddleduck?

Fri. 1/8/10 11:50am Hugo:

Spain 1 New Jersey 0

Fri. 1/8/10 11:50am Paul Sherratt:

Doug,
Following your last comment I'd like to report that the radio equipment, here at least, has NOT gone up in a flame.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:51am C:

you can still marry a muddleduck in alabama.

Fri. 1/8/10 11:54am north guinea hills:

It appears that Portugal is about to pass a gay marriage bill very soon now.....

Fri. 1/8/10 12:02pm Ike:

That first (jazz) set was totally killer! (I was rushing around trying to put some clothes on and shovel TJ's Oat & Wheat Bran Swirls into my mouth, so I couldn't comment.)

Fri. 1/8/10 12:08pm Paul Sherratt:
