DrumSum, are you there? Who was doing the Randy-Newmanish track playing at about 8:25-29 EDT? | |
|
Fri. 6/3/11 8:33am
Drummer Some:
Parq, I think you were hearing Eugene Chadbourne & Jimmy Carl Black - Buggy Boogie Woogie. Right after that was Allen Ginsberg. | |
|
Fri. 6/3/11 8:34am
Parq:
I think the Ginsberg track was the one I was asking about. Thankee. See you in 25 mins. | |

Ever hear his album "A Very Still Life"? | |
|
Fri. 6/3/11 9:19am
Brian in UK:
Well LJfW I think it has to be something cooling in this weather. I am favouring Peroni right now but Leffe or some other Belgian brew would suffice. Just to keep it international I'll be using Canadian flour. Ever'one welcome. | |

Finally my timing is right! My cat helped, he woke me up. This is an excellent way to start my Friday. | |

Drummer Some:
Remind me to slip your cat some extra num-nums, Jessbird. | |

Drummer Some:
Speaking of vocal imitations of instruments: I sat watching Youtube vids of human beatboxes with my daughter last night. Apparently she spent the last hour of school doing this with her music teacher yesterday. (This ain't your father's 5th grade!) | |

Michelle Obama should be encouraging kids everywhere to spend an hour a day at THAT! | |

i learned more as a child about music (great amer songbook & classical) from warner bros/m-g-m cartoons and my mom's broadway soundtracks than i did in my music classes. | |

And play, too.. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110505083421.htm Musicians' Brains Highly Developed ScienceDaily (May 5, 2011) — New research shows that musicians' brains are highly developed in a way that makes the musicians alert, interested in learning, disposed to see the whole picture, calm, and playful. The same traits have previously been found among world-class athletes, top-level managers, and individuals who practice transcendental meditation. | |

Fri. 6/3/11 9:47am
Drummer Some:
It's OK, Jessbird. I fixed the typo. I am an out-of-work copyeditor. (Let me have my fun.) | |

I shoulda been a teenager during bugalu's heyday. Fortunately, I am good at regressing. | |

The Dixon Brothers are great... "The Intoxicated Rat" being a particular favorite. | |

Fri. 6/3/11 10:05am

@ljfw Yeah, good for the brain, not in the 'anti-' sense, but in the preventative sense. More in ability to deal w/ the consequences better and delay the onset of symptoms. Like muscles and age ? | |

Fri. 6/3/11 10:09am

Remember that outright fraud Baby Einstein? Exposed to be a complete pile of shit. Not like that Baby Sun Ra, however. | |

BodegaMan:
I've got youngsters age 5 + 3 and am trying to gradually expose them a variety. They'll get it all eventually, but for now their favorite? The Beastie Boys. When they heard "Sabotage" they said "Dad that's song's crazy!" Better than Baby Einstein. Maybe not as stimulating as Baby Sun Ra | |
|
Fri. 6/3/11 10:15am
BodegaMan:
@Westwood James, how do you know the exact date you started listening to WFMU? | |

"Baby Sun Ra" Good one. | |

@Bodega: My first day at my first post-college job, where my new boss was the mighty Listener Chris from Bloomfield. He said, upon showing me to our office, "I listen to this weird college radio station. If it ever bugs you, let me know and I'll change the channel." Never bugged him and was pledging by the next Marathon. | |
|
Fri. 6/3/11 10:25am

And by coincidence, this Martian Love Call is one of my earliest WFMU memories, along w. Sandy Bull's Orff banjo cover. | |

I had that Sandy Bull record but lost it! | |

Hello Doug, Hello All!, having some envy issues here since I can't actually listen to DrummerSome at work. The Man has blocked every stream except "Flash" Guess slightly delayed gratification will have to do till I listen on the archives later. | |

listener james from westwood:
At my last full-time job, I was called into HR to be chastised for listening to the stream over the company Internet. A quick call or email would have gotten swift and permanent compliance. But this waste of carbon wanted to make a point. Being laid off from that place was in some ways a blessing. | |

At my 1st job, I drove someone nuts w. a track on FMU that repeated the word "seatbelt" for what seemed like 15 min. still better than the goddamn z-100 my officemates insisted on after another radio-station choice vote. | |

Doug, Thanks for your app-titude (rimshot!!!). I gots my Android FMU app, even got 4G.But I also got a big fat work edifice that isn't Tmobile friendly. James, yeah I've been there with my IT folk, luckily as resident fossil, they generally lay off.And yes I can drive my coworkers crazy( don't we all!?) my usual weapon is FMU yodeling. | |

I knew that Allman Bros. Band drummer Butch Trucks had played in The 31st of February but don't think I'd ever heard anything by them 'til this morning. Great cut -- thanks, Drummer! | |
|
Fri. 6/3/11 11:06am
Jessibird:
James, my coworkers do phone support, so each of us has to listen to our own music with headphones. I guess the combined traffic of all those streams has ill effects on our network. It's OK really, I have many GBs of tunes on my hard drive. I just get sad when I can't join the party here. | |

The archives/downloads/podcasts really were a boon once i lost the ability to stream. | |

Ach! The phrase "lost the ability to stream" just sent shivers. | |

so jill's doc post reminded me. I'm researching short biographical documentaries. Preferably on artists (painters, sculptors) but musician's could work as well. also anything with an experimental flavor is what I'm mainly interested in. Anyone have some they like to recommend? or should I post my e-mail to not clog up the commenting? not sure of the protocol. | |
