Brian in UK:
Saw Mary Gauthier in the week performing 'The Foundling' at the Foundling Museum in London. Very moving, she is in the process of working it out and has left songs for us to mull over and absorb. Very moving evening. A powerful performer. | |

If someone'd sneak me some of the cake, it'd be arright, if it's chocolate. But aside from that, I devotedly quote a character from The Madness of King George: "Rot all royals." | |

I wonder what % of USAers would prefer a monarchy. Never ceases to amaze me how much attention this bullshit gets. No offense UKers. God save the queen.. | |

Much as I'd like to say so, Andy S. from Brookyln Heights (oh how I miss Brooklyn), this current performer was not selected with you in mind. | |

BodegaMan:
I too am cynical about the whole wedding biz. Then I remember an article by one of my favorite writers Mike Royko - Chicago newspaperman. had a great article about the beauty of love and marriage to combat all the Charles and Diana haters going on way back when. On the small chance anyone knows his work it was moving and touching, from such a surly dude. | |
|

I got my math wrong for the first time on the previous comment! | |

'dega Man, I was a Royko fan, too. I remember vividly his retort to the Belushi haters (Mike knew John personally) who dogpiled him when it came out the JB's death was drug related. | |

Sister Hairy Hymen:
Its cleaning a shopping mall from 11pm to 8 30 am five days a week | |
|
Fri. 4/29/11 9:34am
BodegaMan:
@Parq, yeah the Belushi stuff was excellent, although his defense of Nelson Algren( guy who wrote Man with the Golden Arm) probably tops it all. Showed such keen insight into immigrant communities I still think about it today. | |

Michigan City is almost a "suburb" of Gary, IN, right over the border, so basically you're right... But it's also on the coast of Lake Michigan, so gets a little tourism action... | |

Is that steel mill action in Gary? | |

Have they traced the origins of the rug that he wears atop his head. If it were in an art gallery it would be called an installation. It has origins on Alpha Centurii. Yes this is personal. | |
|

Sister Hairy Hymen:
Amen Amen, | |

Imagine setting off the fire alarms in a hotel he was staying in the middle of the night just to see what he looks like without four hours of coiffuring. | |
|
Fri. 4/29/11 9:42am
Maggie in Rock Tavern:
It's not a rug. that's an insult to all shag carpeting. it's a Mobius combover. | |
|
Fri. 4/29/11 9:43am
BodegaMan:
Today's Salon article on Trump shows his problems with race going back to the 70s. Also what a tremendous blowhard he's been his entire life. | |

still b/p:
I'm reminded of Steven Van Zandt and his Sopranos role: "It's the hair that's doing the acting, not me, The character is the hair, as far as I'm concerned. When I look in the mirror, I have to see this guy. I can't see me. And the hair is this guy." | |
|
Fri. 4/29/11 9:51am
Maggie in Rock Tavern:
which begs the question: what did Phil Spector see in the mirror before he went to court that one day with the giant hair? | |
|
Fri. 4/29/11 9:52am
dc pat:
nbob: agree, if he does he'll destroy his own campaign by talking too much | |
|
Fri. 4/29/11 9:56am
BodegaMan:
if he runs he'd also have to show everyone that he's not a billionaire and that would be a tragic blow to his ego. | |

listener james from westwood:
an ex once gave me a mix w. the goodmen's "give it up (batacuda refrescante)" on it. it was inflammatory in all the right ways. | |
|
Fri. 4/29/11 10:03am
Drummer Some:
Yes, LJfW, that is wonderful observation. I can think of a few Jamaicans who may have sung songs from the point of view of grass, but that's a different story. | |

So after being offline/outa town a while, an email review prompted a look at a GTDS playlist I'd missed. Y'all heard more S. African music than I did....while I was there. | |

@still b/p I have a jaw-dropping South Africa jazz rarity coming up later. I almost started crying (literally) when this one popped up on a favorite blog. Don't miss it! | |

"Samba Pa Ti" - one of my favorite Santana tracks! Unfortunately, the many mediocre Santana albums have tended to obscure some great recordings. | |

Nick:
Thanks for early Dudu. I treasure seeing him at the old Jazz Cafe on Newington Green, London, months before he died. In the audience a well-dressed, slightly out-of-place looking white woman whom he kept looking to, as if for approval. I imagined her as his Pannonica -- or more likely his therapist. | |

Howdy Amanda!! Everyone say howdy to Amanda who debuted her new Nazaroi Scenario show on the stream yesterday. (Hear the archive here: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/40104) If you are a different Amanda, I deeply apologize. Doesn't the word debuted look really weird? | |

Reached a milestone on Give the Drummer Radio during the show today: At one point, the number of listeners checking out the show today equalled 50% of the audience listening to WFMU online. That's just an amazing accomplishment. Can I just say to each and every one of you: Mwah! | |
