WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 06/09/17

Listener comments!

8:30am ausmanx:

if only that one-monkey-band was celebrating some common sense in the UK... close, but no cigar.

8:32am Doug Schulkind:

This is a cigar-free zone, ausmanx.

8:36am ausmanx:

i thought GTDS indulged in the finer things in life!

8:38am Doug Schulkind:

This is a program of simple tastes.

8:46am duke:

I have a complaint: there's too much good stuff on WFMU and I don't have enough time to listen to it.

8:46am Lord BucketHead:

What ho, chaps? Tally pip.

8:47am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings and apologies, duke. Well done, Lord BH!

8:48am Lord BucketHead:

And also, I believe that "Lordy, let there be tapes" must be the title of Tony Coulter's next premium.

8:51am Doug Schulkind:

Lordy, Let There Be Tapes: The Best of Tape Hiss

8:53am listener james from westwood:

Will no one rid me of this troublesome PM?

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

The Archibishop of Pussygrabbe, you mean?

8:57am listener james from westwood:

Heh, there used to be a lane, mostly renamed in the UK, reserved for such presidential (predisential?) inclinations. First syllable "Grope." Googling left to the intrepid.

9:00am Lord BucketHead:

"when i was young and full of rage, i hated tories to the core.
now i've reached a gentler age, i hate the fuckers even more".

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

At least your PM Justin T is a solid citizen, Lord BH.

9:02am Lord BucketHead:

and the chix dig him.

9:05am Stanley:

Ha, howdy folks.
Feeling good today. The Fuckers were Fucking Fucked, for a change.

9:05am mauri:

Dougman allman drummarman hey man

9:06am listener james from westwood:

Fullest sympathies for what you've been doing for your dad. He is lucky to have you.

9:07am duke:

Very sorry to hear about your father's hospitalization

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Stanley and mauri! Thanks LJFW, duke and all!

9:10am still b/p:

Here for early sets! And my vehicle passed inspection this morning! And the fuckers were fucked! It's a binful of wins!

9:12am Mr C:

The Drummer plays the hookers we love: Earl and John Lee.
Russian facsimile's are Fake News!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
Once as a very young tot with my mother in downtown D.C., we got caught in some tear gas during a Vietnam war protest. When the robust of chant of "Fuck the Pigs" arose from the rallyers nearby, I (supposedly) said to my mother, "Why do the want to fuck the pigs? I thought fucking was good."

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

And William Hooker, Mr C! He once played live on my show and released the performance as an album: www.discogs.com...

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Hello hello, Early b/p!

9:14am Stanley:

Doug - can't imagine what your mother thought of that!

9:14am Stanley:

Apologies for the earlier outburst. Lord BH's comment set me off but nevertheless, the sun is shining over here and there's cause for some celebration. (Considering we regard avoiding a total right wing take over as a win, doesn't really say much for our state of affairs)

9:15am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug. Well reduced majority over here. Some politicians decision making has been poor in the last twelve months.

@ausmanx the last day of TT is getting my attention.

9:16am Webhamster Henry:

Haisai, Ojisan! Haisai Dramer-sam!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
My mother proudly told that story for many decades. She gave herself the credit.

Brian in UK, Webhamster Henry — big welcome!

9:19am Lord BucketHead:

you don't need to apologize to me. every day with less right wingers in it is a better day.

9:19am ausmanx:

be careful what you wish for chaps. the DUP with the balance of power? saints preserve us, as old Ian might have said
Brian, you are a true friend of the Manx; i pay little attention - any fatalities this year?

9:20am Stanley:

Yo Brian.
The DUP are complete nutters.

9:22am David D:

Good morning and afternoon, Doug and all! And congratulations Lord Buckethead on your victory!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Good day, Double D!

@ausmanx
You're always good for a bucket of ice water upside the head.

9:25am Lord BucketHead:

Thank you, my good fellow. My 249 votes shall overcome. Or something. Congratulations to my bosom chum Mr. Fishfinger for his run.

9:34am still b/p:

Travel agency radio ad in Boston 40 or so years ago: "Give me the scoop on Guadalupe!"

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

I'll take two scoops, still b/p!

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

This is a biguine from a band from Ivory Coast!

9:39am Mark Williams:

Love that Ivoire Retro comp and this track by Anzala is fantastic, Doug.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Mark! Great to have you along for the ride.

9:40am listener james from westwood:

I like biguines and I cannot lie.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

When you biguine, you may never stop.

9:44am Jeff g.:

Pig fucking, two scoops, and biguines, oh my.

9:44am David D:

This set is biguine every way!

9:45am Lord BucketHead:

we're an eclectic, if pervy, lot.

9:45am Artie Haywire:

Nothing like a warm biguine with a pat of fresh butter.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

That about sums it up so far, Jeff Golick.

9:45am Stanley:

This doesn't sound typically Haitian.

9:46am βrian:

À l'écoute ! Cieux gris au-dessus de l'Isthme aujourd'hui.

9:49am Uncle Michael:

Begin the poutine?

9:50am glenn:

l'isthme is my new band name.

9:51am Jeff g.:

Ooooh here for it!

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, Artie H! And look, there's βrian of Isthmus! Oh wow, an Uncle Michael sighting!

Things are coming together!

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Kent Carter is playing bass here. And what a bass sound it is!

9:54am Stanley:

Seriousamentally digging this Nosh Howard track. Does it rock!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Takashi Kako is making modal magnificence on the piano.

9:57am βrian:

He's the MoDalai Lama

9:57am Ramblin' Ray:

Olé! Viva drummerman! Viva! Greetings to all earwiggers!

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

By the way, that thomp thomp thomping on the music played during my last mic break WAS the sound of a pile driver.

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Ramblin' Ray o' Sunshine!

10:00am βrian:

@BUK: So do things bode better, at least? Or is it just a big bucket of slurry?

10:00am coelacanth∅:

Olá Doug, Drummers, other Lovers

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

Ølá, coelacanth∅!

10:02am βrian:

Hey, this jazz stuff is kinda nice.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

The mean jazz is saved for the next set.

10:04am still b/p:

Pile-driving city! A former Pittsburgh resident wrote a letter to the editor up this way taking Trump to school on Pittsburgh's evolution beyond steel-and-smoke days after his reference to being President for Pittsburgh not Paris.

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

The Polish band Miłość is:

Mikołaj Trzaska – alto & soprano saxophones
Leszek Możdżer – grand piano
Tymon Tymański – double bass, voice, leader
Jacek Olter – drums

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
The mayors of Pittsburgh and Paris co-wrote a terrific op-ed that appeared in the New York Times a few days ago. Our mayor, Bill Peduto, is a progressive hero.

10:07am glenn:

pittsburgh's steel and smoke days. www.moma.org...

10:07am Brian in UK:

@βrian if you are referring to the election, a large majority is never healthy, so no overall majority is good. Heck, who knows what is going on right now.
Slurry is good for the ground, not good when it comes out of politicians mouths though. I cannot say anymore, I am not a leaker.

10:08am glenn:

and the penguins took the preds to the woodshed last night.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
The already de-pantsed my Capitols (again), so whatevs.

10:13am glenn:

heck, the leafs almost de pantsed the capitals. hyphen or no hyphen in de-pantsed?

10:14am Webhamster Henry:

I want to hear a DR. BRONNER'S soap label read this way.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Rosko = William Mercer, New York deejay

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

From Rosko's obit in the NYT in 2000:

Mr. Mercer was the first black news announcer on WINS in New York and, as Rosko, the first black disc jockey on KBLA in Los Angeles. HE WENT ON TO BECOME A PIONEER OF FREE-FORM FM RADIO IN NEW YORK CITY. On WOR-FM in 1966 and on WNEW-FM from 1967 to 1970, his calm, husky voice with its hint of Southern drawl and his wide-ranging programming made him an authoritative companion amid the musical ferment of the late 1960's. (emphasis added)

10:18am coelacanth∅:

i remember Rosko from wbai in the 80s-90s.

10:19am coelacanth∅:

and, Wm. Henry -YES! the long form!

10:24am still b/p:

"De-pantsed" and "pantsed" are like "inflammable" and "flammable"...all work out da same.

10:26am duke:

I'm really looking forward to these Trane shows. Heard them before and found them truly amazing.

10:28am coelacanth∅:

(re: "the long form"...the cases of dr. bronners soap came with scrolls of the same literature as the labels; only people didn't know that the labels were actually greatly abridged. the scrolls were around 4' long, small print, both sides.
...and this was when "the doctor" was still alive, so more eccentric, less derivative bullshit.)

10:30am Artie Haywire:

Tell Me How Long Trane's Been Gone program available for purchase here: www.artistowned.com...

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Artie. Holy crap! The producer, Steve Rowland, has reduced the price to $3 an episode or $15 for the entire thing. It was $30 a few years ago.

IT. IS. SO. WORTH IT!

10:35am Webhamster Henry:

Dr. Bronner documentary: magicsoapbox.vhx.tv

10:37am doctorjazz:

Meetings, ending, catch the of the show in the car, hi all!

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

But are there autoharps, Webhamster Henry?

10:37am Little Danny:

Good morning one and all

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Big doctor and Little Danny!

10:38am ausmanx:

i have an autoharp on my dining table, but it needs tuning. they're a problem like that...

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

You should use Auto-Tune®!

10:41am coelacanth∅:

Thanks Webhamster! i'll watch that hopefully this weekend. it's probably more interesting than most people will imagine a documentary about a soap maker to be!

10:43am coelacanth∅:

i wish my autoharp had autotune! that thing takes about an hour to tune.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Sirone on bass here with Billy Bang. The great Sirone.

10:44am glenn:

project grizzly. best. documentary. ever.

10:44am Webhamster Henry:

I'm actually sitting here with an Omnichord on my lap, (Working out chords to giant steps) but it's no Autoharp.

I can tune that autoharp for ya. I do it all the time.
Here's something I'm up to : PolyHarp.com

The definitive Autoharp documentary has yet to be made!

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Because of course you are Webhamster Henry.

10:48am Listener Gregory:

I heard a tribute to John Coltrane by Ravi and Joe Lovano et al. at Jazz at the Philharmonic. They played Central Park West, while the audience all gazed through the glass wall at...
It was pretty tremendous.

10:49am still b/p:

Autoharp on the dining table...mmmmm..I'm seeing that Norman Rockwell image, "Freedom From Want," with mama serving a plump, just-tuned autoharp on a platter.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Up next, the last selection in this sequence. It is a monumentally beautiful cover of Trane's "After the Rain" (one of my favorite songs ever) by Joe McPhee.

Speaking of monumentally beautiful, hello Listener Gregory!

10:53am annie:

well, that was a delightful cafe experience, now i'm back for the last half of the show..a refreshing chat with a member of the younger generation ... it's reassured me all will be well....

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

From the liners:

For me, 1996 was an important transitional year in which I decided to pursue what I called Project Dream Keeper. The goal, to begin realizing projects which had been shelved for years. One such project was to produce a solo recording in celebration of the 20th anniversary of my first solo release, Tenor. With Tenor began a very important solo period which until now has never been documented on CD. Previous LP releases have long been out of print and difficult to find. I sincerely hope this is a new beginning. I wanted to return to the roots of my solo performances. — Joe McPhee

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

This song makes me just flat weep.

10:55am Listener Gregory:

Great to hear "After the Rain." Also underplayed is "Dear Lord."

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Yes.

10:56am Webhamster Henry:

@Still b/p You can see the pentimento if you go to the Rockwell Museum and squint at it.

10:57am Webhamster Henry:

And speaking of your actual show, this Joe McPhee is really beautiful.

10:58am annie:

wow, doug that was intense, not expecting it... very nice

11:01am still b/p:

Good memoir title...for any of us: "Squinting at the Pentimento."

11:03am Listener Gregory:

With my eyesight, the title would be "Squinting Through the Pentimento."

11:05am Listener Gregory:

BTW, b/p, thanks for putting the period INSIDE the quotation mark!

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some. In tents. Amirite, annie?!

11:08am annie:

ur-rite mr drummer..

11:08am βrian:

Doug's musical choices make me hungry, apparently. Gotta go get some vittles.

11:09am Parq:

Hi gang. It sez here that Theresa May faces a hung Parliament. Oh man, I can't, it's too easy.

11:12am still b/p:

There are typically some pro proofers here in the comment house, Gregory, and we don't want to give them a little knot of unease in what is otherwise so happily knit by all the music and show elements.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

I'll take some fried pork rinds, βrian, if you don't mind.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of fried pork rinds, helloooooo Parq!

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

My daughter just came from her last day of school. She is now officially a high school senior. Woop woop!

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hive mind, my Twitter feed all of a sudden the past few days refuses to play videos. Any idea WTF is going on?

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hive mind, I have to go out and buy a new no-frills refrigerator for not a lotta scratch. What do you recommend?

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

The refrigerator does NOT need to play videos.

11:19am glenn:

full size or bar fridge?

11:21am glenn:

heavy.com...

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Full size, glenn. What do you take me for?

11:21am Webhamster Henry:

The fridge I have was only about $200, it's skinny and replaced one that basically blocked my kitchen entrance. Igloo: Chinese and cheap!

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks glenn and Hen!

11:22am glenn:

ummmmm. well, i've heard stories about you pittsburgers.

11:23am Parq:

Doug @ 11:13 -- you joke, but as we speak (or type), they are setting up right outside my office for the annual Big Apple Barbecue fest. Before I go home, they will be roasting whole pigs right on the street.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

If they ever play Carnegie Hall, do you think they'll be introduced as 75 Dollar William?

11:24am listener james from westwood:

Diggin' the Bill! Or the William, as formality may require.

11:24am Carmichael:

Heya Doug and carbon-based folks.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
I never joke. Especially about meat products.

11:25am coelacanth∅:

...and if they play at a bird sanctuary?

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

75 Dollar Duckbill Platypus?

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

Heya, Carm!

11:29am listener james from westwood:

Omar comin'!

11:30am coelacanth∅:

(i was thinking "75 dollar beak", but okay!)

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

What they serve at Trump-branded restaurants: 75 Dollar Swill.

11:32am listener james from westwood:

High volume on Souleyman is souleymandatory.

11:32am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

11:33am glenn:

oh, yeah. i've got it turned up to eleven.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, ndbob!

This Omar Souelyman number restores my faith in humanity.

11:34am βrian:

Mmm. Greek salad and lemony hummus. Damn!

11:34am Listener Gregory:

Doug, what is this instrument on the Souleyman?

11:35am annie:

hey nd.... ... hive mind question: i have the bbq sauce, i have the ribs... they'll be bbq-ed sunday at a picnic.. any advice on if and when to marinate them?..asking for a friend, actually..

11:35am annie:

and should i cut them ahead of time?

11:35am glenn:

food talk time? this is a fabulous, and easy to make bread. www.girlversusdough.com...

11:35am coelacanth∅:

what βrian said

11:36am listener james from westwood:

Aaaaand, the perfect capper in the talkover track!

11:36am ndbob:

my cooking skills are limited to the George Foreman grill

11:38am Parq:

<<@Parq
I never joke.>>

I've noticed that, Doug. You really need to lighten up.

11:38am Ramblin' Ray:

Omar takes the biscuit

11:39am Jeff g.:

I would like to state my appreciation for @listener james' "Omar coming" comment at 11:29.

And also for this jewel of a show.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Found this...

"I couldn't figure out what instrument could produce the sound that Souleyman sings over, and it was only until I looked up the countless grainy videos of his live performances that I realized it was just a Yamaha keyboard played really fucking fast. Paired with echoe-y yells of "Yallah!" and filtered through a shitty video recorder, Souleyman's sound accidentally found itself blurring the lines between folk, experimental, and prog music."

11:41am Uncle Michael:

Me! Me! Me! (top of the hour)

www.wfmu.org...

11:42am Listener Gregory:

That was my second guess, Doug. Thanks. (First guess: some kind of wind instrument, guitar, or other instrument.)

11:42am βrian:

Jim Lahey has a cookbook about no-knead bread. It really is good stuff.

Freezer on the bottom is the better configuration, in my view.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

I light up before every show, Parq. Isn't that obvious?

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Isn't freezer-on-bottom more energy efficient? Plus, you haven't seen my bottom.

11:45am glenn:

that recipe comes from jim lahey, although you probably realized that.

11:45am JtotheK:

New Holidays, fantastic! Hi everyone.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Nice to read ya, JtotheK!

11:47am Carmichael:

Annie, cook 'em low and slow (250 or so) for 3-4 hours, uncut. Put some dry rub on the night before, if you wish. wait until they are almost done before basting with a sauce. Let 'em rest and use a cleaver to cut.

11:47am coelacanth∅:

sheesh, i have to actually work when i'm working, sometimes.
-Thank you Doug!
- tchau camaradas

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Great guitar noodling on this Perry track!

11:51am Brian in UK:

Here is Omar's keyboard player of the Korg.
www.youtube.com...

11:53am annie:

thanks carm!!!...

11:53am listener james from westwood:

@Jeff G: TYVM! And agree fully w/ this show being a jewel!

11:54am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

It's not over, ndbob! It could take a bad turn.

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Doug. See you all in the next room...

11:57am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

What kind of sorry soul would think of missing Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael? STOP! I don't even want to know.

All happy souls gather here, next: wfmu.org...

11:57am Listener Gregory:

Heaven is ordering me to thank Doug for a great show. I hear and obey!

11:58am burke:

The sheer volume of indispensable music from such a short time period...thanks Alice Clark.

11:59am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

You know who else obeys, Listener Gregory. Commander Ebenezer.

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

@burke
You got that right.

12:00pm ndbob:

I'd bet against it Doug:)

12:00pm listener james from westwood:

Always a joy, Doug! An easier weekend to all on your side!

12:00pm Ramblin' Ray:

Thanks for a great show Doug. It hit the spot.

12:01pm Listener Gregory:

Whoa! I had to resort to the internet to get that Commander Ebenezer allusion. I have learned something today.

12:12pm Brian in UK:

Nice one Doug. Was it Chief Commander? Call me picky!!

12:18pm Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Picky Brian! Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey! You win the booby prize.
