i know this has been happening to language since time immemorial, but it still saddens me to see a lovely word such as "gay" become twisted to mean only one thing now.

Avatar 9:29am Scraps:

annie, I'm sorry, but "twisted"? I mean, I don't know you, and I like you, but that means, to me, that means you think that means something bad, the people that use that word that way...

not at all bad. and i'm as free-thinking as the next guy, the connotations for "gay" now rarely include happy.. i'm jusr sad at the deterioration of our langauge

oops, that "nooo" was for Doug not being able to do his Friday morning show from Aug. to Dec. I will miss it badly and try to remember it's just the fall and early winter. a really long fall and early winter. ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie
I have literally wept over having to move my show for this period. But, the clouds parted and sun shone down on a pretty glorious solution.
Avatar 9:43am Scraps:

I guess, as a professional who uses words (copyeditor), it doesn't occur to me to feel sad -- that's words, historically, change.

But (if you don't know) the people who complain about gay falling out of use to mean happy, are usually people who, underneath their complaint, are complaing about gay to mean sexually. That's why i worded my question carefully-- because I didn't think you were a homophobe. But people could silently think to themselves, "she's one of us."

Sigh. Sorry. Too long an explanation
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Never stop explaining, Scraps! You have much to add to the human condition.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:46am Stanley:

I'm away to make a cup of tea and I miss the news that the Friday morning show is on hold during the fall semester but moving to another slot thanks to a 'glorious solution'? I look forward to that as well as the Friday morning return (If I've got it right).

I would say, conservatively, that I purchased 500 records at the Tower Annex. Hundreds upon hundreds of Folkways records for $1, then 50¢, then 25¢. And much more

The hours I spent at Tower and the Tower Annex are just too many to fathom, many many days.

Nisht Azoy Gerfairlach would be the Yiddish response to the schedule change (not so bad...); actually quite fine (from my neck of the woods, nice/great that UM can pull it off).

S'funny it is difficult to get up for the Record Fair 3000 miles away. Think Doug might be of a similar kidney.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:24am Maggie B.:

@ Doug - we'll be expecting you 6-ish
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:25am Doug Schulkind:

New show alert! New show alert! I will be announcing new of the next new show joining the Drummer Stream during the next mic break.

Hey hey hey, it's Carmichael!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I miss the record fair desperately. Haven't been in, gack!, five years.
  11:26am Dean:

@Carmichael: There's a Tower Grill there, too, isn't there?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:31am Jeff Golick:

I am getting shit-all done here today. Excellent soundtrack, though!

  11:31am Mr C:

It takes two subway lines to get to the Fair from Manhattan. Just an observation.
Avatar 11:31am Carmichael:

@Dean, yes, the Tower Café is right next door. Like Yogi Berra would say, nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:32am doctorjazz:

Driving from Staten Island, expect it to be a real pain, but should be fun there.

@doctorjazz - i haven't been to the record fair since they moved it from Manhattan - what's the parking situation in Greenpoint? (and I used to live in SI once upon a time too.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:34am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Just pour yourself a Manhattan and then... you'll get there!

I prefer you to avoid using obscenities here. (The M word.)

Imagine how many subway lines it takes from Topeka!

It gleams like a golden stream, when all around is dark.

Southwest Chief to Chicago, Broadway Limited to Manhattan...

Will Charlie's library gig relate to music, I wonder.

Yes!! Cheyenne is a wonder!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:40am Uncle Michael:

It's true. I'm shaking my stick and not making a dent.
  11:43am Mr C:

This Tommy Tate song could fit easily into the Karl Blau repertoire
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:44am Doug Schulkind:

That is a wonderful observation, Mr C. That Tommy Tate was a home demo. Stripped down and fine.
  11:46am Mr C:

General Johnson was a tremendous talent...often under the radar..

Just saw on Twitter that Vito Acconci has died. He contributed a piece to the WFMU benefit art auction back in the early '90s.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:47am doctorjazz:

@Maggie B-I expect parking in Greenpoint (most of Brooklyn, which is where I originally hail from) to be a nightmare, prepared to circle quite a bit.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:48am Brian in UK:

@Carmichael thank you Mr Shaw. It was one of Wildes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Not our radars, Mr C.
  11:49am Mr C:

And Eugene Record! now there's a master craftsman..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50am Doug Schulkind:

"Smeared" is not the most romantic choice of words.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:50am Jeff Golick:

Was just gonna comment to that effect, @Doug.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:51am Brian in UK:

Better than kissing your ganglion.

Eugene Booker Record!

Better on a bagel.
  11:51am Filip:

Hi Doug! Catching the tail end of your show.... Sad news about Vito Acconci... Another NY icon gone.
Cheers from the mountains....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Oh hey, Filip! Sorry to bear the sad the news. Great to see you.
Avatar 🥁 11:53am βrian:

I can imagine when folks get self-driving cars, they'll just have the car drop them off and then circle until they're ready to be picked up.

Not exactly green ...
  11:53am Dean:

"Smear" is, literally, not Romantic. It's Germanic. First entry in OED is curious: "To anoint with oil, chrism, etc., as a symbolic ceremony. In later use only with contemptuous force."
Avatar 🥁 11:54am βrian:

Those unctuous Teutons.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:55am Brian in UK:

Nice one Doug. What's on the pizza tonight?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55am fred:

@βrian: When AI reaches consciousness, it will try to blunt it. So the self-driving cars will just pretend to be circling and actually go hang out in the nearest sleazy joint
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

@Brian
Pizza tomorrow night! Sautéed asparagus!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Hi there Dean!
  11:58am Dean:

I'm with Atrios when it comes to self-driving cars. They aren't gonna happen. Besides, you just know that after a half-generation or so of them, some wise guy will think, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we could navigate these things manually?!"
  11:58am Alex In Illinois:

I've been listening, but have been too busy to post.

We're doing dabs of strained garden tomatoes, chèvre, and oil-cured olives. Fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes.
