hey doug - dont damage your record covers man! frisbees work just as well as gatefolds - thanks for your shows - tell the powers that be you are world famous (and by ;world' I mean a wider scope than what the U.S. calls the 'world series' | |

Just played some stuff off the Major Force box recently. Hadn't touched it in 10 years. Still sounds good. Nice. | |

Hi LJ from W! Annie, my wife and daughter gave me an iPod for my birthday three years ago. (I've never used it. Yeesh!) | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:03am
Drummer Some:
PSS, yes that box is killer. WFMU's DJ Monica gave me a copy. What a woman! | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:04am
annie:
i'm so used to the winamp for everything... to physically remove myself from the pc format.. wow.. but i know the time will come when i'm going to want an ipod for travel, etc.. i even threatened myself earlier this month.... time will tell.. | |

Doug - just got my premiums - yours included and wanted to say thanks! And any update on Charlie? We miss him! | |

Only in the 50's here today - at least my heat didn't go on as it did yesterday. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:08am
Drummer Some:
Your most welcome, Michael! Yes, I did converse with Charlie earlier this week. He will unfortunately be off the radio at least until September. A target to shoot for is to have Charlie back on by the time the WFMU main schedule changes again in October. Fingers crossed. | |

This Blind Willie tune is just too much... | |

I talked to Charlie briefly online the other day. | |

Major Force, that's a Mowax, right? Haven't got it, but got one called Headz. Purty good, I'd say. http://www.discogs.com/Various-Headz-A-Soundtrack-Of-Experimental-Beathead-Jams/release/1112454 | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:12am
Drummer Some:
Right you are, Hugo. The second part of my opening theme is taking from the Major Force box set. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:12am
Paul Sherratt:
dc, That gold record Blind Willie tune, wonder if anyone or anything out there has played it yet and not told us ? | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:15am
Drummer Some:
The Martians or whomever probably figured we were way too advanced a life form to much with. | |

Hugo:
The ipod is the only Apple product I got or am going to get. Apple is generally overpriced, imho. The kid has a portable mac from school, but still prefers the pc. | |

|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:19am
annie:
yeah, hugo...... the attraction for me is constant tunes via pod-casting .... i guess you can do that with an ipod, right? | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:21am
listener james from westwood:
yes indeed. i've been rocking fmu podcasts since the git-go. nice to have a pocketful of finewine or liz's fma highlights on tap. also been downloading archives and listening at a lag. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:21am
Paul Sherratt:
The ipod is the apple item I own. And I only acquired one because Hugo showed me his ! It's grand playing randomly in the car. Must check if Willie Walker is on the database ! | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:21am
Unclear on the concept:
If you really wanted to, you could think of the lyrics to that Ice Man song as kind of racy. | |

Those Goldwax collections are great - it's good to hear a complete run of a labels 45's. | |

usu it's the guy trying to BUY a piece of ice. takes a confident man to SELL his own piece of ice. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:22am
Hugo:
Jeez, I've got a version of the ice man by Dick Curless. Mind you, that was recorded before he found Jesus, so he has for sure disowned that part of his catalogue. Yes, you can subscribe to podcsts on Itunes, including those from FMU. I'm not sure how you make podcasts, though. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 9:24am
ndbob:
Yep - I subscribe to several FMU podcasts. | |

listener james from westwood:
at work and at home, i was a mac user for years (graphic design). switched to win 7 last sept for work (mac i had couldn't take newest system software & the versions of word and other stuff needed that OS + newer hardware). spent 1/3 of what i'd have laid out and have not missed the mac os. but yes, the ipod/tunes gear and software has been for me a must. | |

Carl Sagan wanted a nude photo of a pair of male and female humans on the Voyager, but NASA received many objections. so they used a sketch instead. Good thing too. Otherwise, aliens might have attacked earth to steal our porn | |

Drummer Some:
Hi Jill! Hi Bill! | |

Fri. 6/10/11 9:46am

Drummer Some:
Does it get any better than this: East of the sun and west of the moon, We'll build a dream house of love Near to the sun in a day near to the moon at night, We'll live in a lovely way dear Living our love in memory Just you and I, forever and a day, Love will not die, we'll keep it that way, Up among the stars we'll find A harmony of life, too lovely tune East of the sun and west of the moon, dear, East of the sun and west of the moon. Just you and I we'll build a dream house so lovely | |

Reading the comments, and just passing the info that Dick Curless dies in 1995. So he probably doesn't care a fig about what we do with his back catalog. | |

I was hoping for some Getachew Mekuria. Translation: Socalled Leftradical Bloworchestra. From what I can see, more than a brass band per se, as woodwinds, saxophones, oboes etc belong under the heading | |

Some of those french lyrics sounded a lot like the ones in Talking heads' Psycho Killer. Can anyone translate Maintenant Je Suis un Voyou? | |

Hugo:
I see from the link that Doug provided that the SLG did a cover of Frank Zappa's "I'm the slime" as "Ich bin halt die Kotze aus deiner Glotze" which translates as "I'm the vomit from your TV". Lost in translation? | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:22am
Drummer Some:
Thank you Hugo. You have inspired the title of today's program. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:35am
Hugo:
You know how to pick 'em, Doug. Looking through the Trikont catalogue, I see that there are now six cds of versions of "La Paloma". I only have two. Hmmm ... | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:36am
northguineahills:
really digging this Ibero-Gaulish set. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:37am
Drummer Some:
I think "La Paloma" and "Tico Tico" can battle it out for the crown. (Maybe "Caravan" beats them all!) | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:42am
ndbob:
I'd bet on Caravan. | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:45am

Great show! Nice tunes. Perfectly fit in with my late afternoon in Istanbul, Turkey...Keep on funking | |

I second caravan - *loved* the Ethiopian stuff earlier on... | |

Drummer Some:
Awright Necati, it's my pleasure! | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:47am
Drummer Some:
Glad you liked it, Lewis. I was proud of myself for NOT dipping into the amazing Ethiopiques series once during that set (not that there's anything wrong with that). | |
|
Fri. 6/10/11 11:48am
Ike:
I am digging the funk, and I also *loved* the Ethiopian sounds. (I could try to one-up Lewis and say that I **loved** the Ethiopian sounds, but perhaps that's abusing asterisks.) | |

Fri. 6/10/11 11:49am
