Listener comments!

Fri. 5/18/12 8:14am duke:

Who is that behind those Foster Grants?

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 8:18am Doug Schulkind:

The dapper gent shown is (presumably) the lead singer for the Singapore band The Stylers. I do not know his name. Click the image to go to Madrotter's amazing blog for downloads of all these LPs.

Fri. 5/18/12 8:24am Van in DC:

Hi there Doug. Wow...more than a 1,000 records they produced? Holy smokes.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 8:26am Doug Schulkind:

You've got you're work cut out for you, Van!

Fri. 5/18/12 8:33am duke:

I assume you'll be playing some Stylers this AM?

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 8:37am Doug Schulkind:

@Duke
Well that would make a ton of sense, but no. Someday soon, but not today.

Fri. 5/18/12 8:40am annie:

short visit this am, happy to be here for the time i have.. good morning everyone!!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 8:40am Doug Schulkind:

Hello there Annie!

Fri. 5/18/12 8:42am annie:

i'm hearing tom waits singing a sweet song about my breakfast: hash browns hash browns

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 8:53am Doug Schulkind:

You know what that say, Annie, Tom Waits for no one.

Fri. 5/18/12 8:57am ndbob:

Hello Doug and everyone!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Hi ndbob, welcome welcome.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:00am Parq:

As Greg Brown noted, Tom Waits for his voice to clear up.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:00am lucy:

mornin' doug! brooklyn in online

Fri. 5/18/12 9:01am Van in DC:

GO! :)

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Lucy! So glad you're here. Hey, long-time listener El Thatchmo has been selected to speak at ESC commencement (representing the graduating students). It should be very wry.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:03am ndbob:

I saw Tom Waits in 2004

Fri. 5/18/12 9:03am Parq:

@Annie: A la mode, if you will. See, I just came in to join the crowd, coz I had some time to kill.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:06am still b/p:

Good morning.
Be funny for someone to 'shop the mug of Eduardo Savarin -- Facebook cofounder who's renounced his US citizenship and wants to live in Singapore -- onto every one of those album covers.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:08am ndbob:

what a boneheaded decision that was

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:09am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Methinks Eduardo can afford to have someone do it for him.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:09am Alex in Illinois:

Good morning. Working from home today, so I am catching the very beginning of the show for the first time in weeks.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Oh hey Alex!

Fri. 5/18/12 9:13am still b/p:

..can afford to have someone do it for him, and then to have that someone killed in a live, cast-of-hundreds, over-amped command Monkey Chant performance on his terrace.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:14am seang:

cafe y cuba, Hola!!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:15am Doug Schulkind:

I've always wanted to do that, but I don't have a terrace. :-(

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Hola, seang!

The vocalist here was one of those lovely elder gents Ry Cooder convened in the Buena Vista Social Club.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:18am still b/p:

When's your birthday?

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Conveniently, it is Memorial Day. Never forget!

Fri. 5/18/12 9:25am ndbob:

I won't forget Doug - that was my ex's birthday - and my dogs

Fri. 5/18/12 9:27am Parq:

Ndbob, what about your dogs' exes?

Cincuenta y cinco.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:31am annie:

must jet!! later!!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:33am Doug Schulkind:

So long, Annie have a marvelous weekend.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:37am ndbob:

they were born in a random distribution Parq.. quite a few of them

Fri. 5/18/12 9:38am ndbob:

so long Annie!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for the translation, Parq. There was a hole where my cincuenta was supposed to be.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:39am Webhamster Henry:

Hi Doug! I'm appreciating this spring morning's musical selections.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Webhamster. Keep that digital wheel a-spinnin'!

Fri. 5/18/12 9:47am ndbob:

just joking Parq - about him having a few:)

Fri. 5/18/12 9:49am Lewis:

Diggin' the glasses on the Dude!

morning to all of us out in listener-land - and of course in dj-land

Fri. 5/18/12 9:50am ndbob:

hi lewis

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, Lewis!

Fri. 5/18/12 9:54am Chris - Isle Of Man:

Crikey - in at the deep end!

Fri. 5/18/12 9:55am Parq:

Ndbob, his milkshake brings all the girls to your yard, eh?

Fri. 5/18/12 9:55am Fiveash:

Mornin' Doug. This trance music combined with coffee is the perfect poor man's speedball.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hope you brought your snorkel, Chris!

I KNOW you brought your snorkel, Fiveash!

Fri. 5/18/12 9:58am Chris - Isle Of Man:

Always got the full wetsuit when I tune in for the drummer - bring it on!

Fri. 5/18/12 9:59am Randy:

Good Morning Doug! Zander sez hi!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Good, Chris, because Ghédalia kind of spits when he sings.

Fri. 5/18/12 9:59am ndbob:

alas, he's long gone Psrq

Fri. 5/18/12 10:00am Lewis:

Go Doug Go!!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:00am Parq:

Regrettably, I must be likewise. Archives ahoy, DrumSum.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:02am ndbob:

bye Parq!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:05am Chris - Isle Of Man:

This is beautiful, as you know.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:06am Thiago:

Ghédalia is indeed misleading. The first record of his I listened to was that one with a baby on the cover and I just assumed he was a French granny because of that name.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Adios, Parq. Bienvenu Randy and Zander! And Thiago, you too.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:11am Webhamster Henry:

This "Show me" is reminding me of the famed Shelly Manne & his Men + Andre Previn Jazz take on My Fair Lady. They also did a nice Kurt Weill album .

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:15am Doug Schulkind:

I always thought the name of Shelly Manne's nightclub (the Manne-Hole) was a bit randy.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:17am duke:

This Jackie McLean cut is very nice. Tony Willians on drums?

Fri. 5/18/12 10:17am Fiveash:

Also, Bud Shank sounds like something that happens to you in prison.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:18am holland oats:

i too am enjoying this swangin' mclean track

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of Jackie McLean, I urge, no, INSIST that you find 32 minutes in your day to spend watching the amazing documentary "Jackie McLean on Mars." One of the best films about jazz I've ever seen.

vimeo.com...

Yes, Duke, a 16-year-old Tony Williams on drums.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:20am duke:

Did Tony start plying drums as an infant? He's was pretty damn amazing as a kid.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Nice one, Fiveash.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:22am Artie:

This room has a nice vibe.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Awright Artie!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:28am Fiveash:

Gotta split for work. Thanks for having me. Looking forward to checking out that Jackie McLean doc, thanks for the tip...

Fri. 5/18/12 10:29am Mitten John:

Love the Griot Galaxy!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:30am Matt from Springfield:

Listened to the Tayuk-Generation Song earlier--amazing!
I'm sure if you put that on the stream, you'll get a record number of "What WAS that?!" emails!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:32am postby-trs:

Enjoying the set, here. Sounds not so straight ahead.
Thanks for the intro Doug

Fri. 5/18/12 10:32am Randy:

This is some serious Shyte.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Matt I loaded that album on the stream earlier this week! Can't wait for the emails!

Howdy postby-trs!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:35am holland oats:

ack, my vain attempt at practicing the principle of non-attachment is once again at war with a festering record store jones - who will win?!?

Fri. 5/18/12 10:38am Van in DC:

Hey that was a really swell set there.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:41am Van in DC:

Thank you Doug for the upcoming Donna tribute. And yes, death is exacting a freaking ridiculous toll on us lately it seems. :(

Fri. 5/18/12 10:43am Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: The ever-increasing stream! And more, and more, and eternally more...

@holland oats: Can you bring some records you don't listen to much, and exchange them for records you want? Good way to practice non-attachment.

And hey Van!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Wasn't that you sucking record-store teet on the cover of Time Magazine, Holland Oats?

Fri. 5/18/12 10:44am Van in DC:

Hi Matt! Did'ja know today is Toyah's birthday? :)

Fri. 5/18/12 10:45am Pascal:

Morning all. Merci pour les Loups Noirs, Doug! I want to hear them chaque jour...

Fri. 5/18/12 10:47am Matt from Springfield:

Ah that's right! Julie played a couple of her songs and announced it was for her birthday later this week. Nonetheless I didn't remember--I had celebrated it early :)

Fri. 5/18/12 10:49am holland oats:

@matt - bargaining, good thinking!

@drummersone - hehheh

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Pasca!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:49am Van in DC:

Big week for Toyah! Hubby Robert Fripp's b'day was a couple days ago, and their 26th anniversary was that very same day!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:51am Matt from Springfield:

Normally I don't consider learning how to speak French patois, but when I hear Les Super Shleu, I wonder what they're talking about, and how it's probably pretty funny.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:53am Doug Schulkind:

They were talking about you, Matt. (It was hysterical.)

Fri. 5/18/12 10:55am Matt from Springfield:

Heh heh :)

Fri. 5/18/12 10:56am Pascal:

Hmm, mysterious... am I supposed to be hearing Kenneth Rexroth right now? The playlist says one thing, my ears hear another!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:57am monica:

me too, pascal!

Fri. 5/18/12 10:57am Shaun:

Yeah, just had Rexroth. Kicked back to the stream?

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Donna Summer love coming up...from St. Kitts.

Yeah, lost the stream there for a moment.

Fri. 5/18/12 10:59am Pascal:

Just in time!! What a gem, Doug.

Fri. 5/18/12 11:00am Thiago:

Loving your own spin on a Donna Summer tribute!

Fri. 5/18/12 11:00am monica:

now yer talkin!!

Fri. 5/18/12 11:01am Van in DC:

...as only the Drummer can do! Nicely done!

Fri. 5/18/12 11:01am northguineahills:

Fun.

Fri. 5/18/12 11:02am Matt from Springfield:

Kittian Summer Love!

Fri. 5/18/12 11:03am Alex in Illinois:

I thnk this is the best version of the D. Summer / G Moroder classic I have ever heard. Horns, gotta love 'em.

Fri. 5/18/12 11:05am Van in DC:

Ha! A very strange note indeed :)

Fri. 5/18/12 11:07am Thiago:

"If you're going to be a shleu, be a Super Shleu" wise words

Fri. 5/18/12 11:15am Holly in NC:

Hi Doug & all! Tony Coulter recently wrote about NYC band Songs from a Random House over on Beware of the Blog... anyway, SFaRH do a great cover of "I Feel Love" on their gListen cd. Available @ Amazon!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Holly! I saw Tony's post. He does such an amazing job on Beware of the Blog.

Fri. 5/18/12 11:17am northguineahills:

I'm going to duck out. Will be back for Steinski.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Duck, duck goose, NGH.

Fri. 5/18/12 11:23am Van in DC:

Coincidentally, I'm going for the most amazing duck tacos tomorrow at Taqueria el Poblano in Alexandria.... well, duck carnitas technically I guess :)

Speaking of food, I also need to go find something. Thanks Doug!

Fri. 5/18/12 11:24am Holly in NC:

Duck carnitas.......ooooohhhhh........

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Duck carnitas? You better share, Van. Here, you can have some of my gorgonzola crisps.

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Did I say HELLOOO, Monica? Well hellooo!

Fri. 5/18/12 11:31am Holly in NC:

One of our local food trucks serves the best trashy food item ever - tater tots (tm) fried in duck fat & finished w fresh rosemary. Sadly I'm not eating taters at the moment.

Fri. 5/18/12 11:32am Carmichael:

Hi Doug and everyone, late to the big dance. Just flew in from San Diego. Boy, are my arms tired ...<rim shot>

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Carmichael! Hello Tater Tots friend in duck fat!

Fri. 5/18/12 11:42am Carmichael:

I just surfed for some info on the Stylers and found this: "In 2003, Singapore’s Media Development Authority (MDA) commissioned a six-part series documentary for television on the Singapore music scene from the 1960s to the present day, entitled Jammin’." I'm gonna go look for that!

♥ Fri. 5/18/12 11:43am Doug Schulkind:

The next piece of Cameroonian funk madness (Hamad Kalkaba) was posted last week on Mining the Audio Motherlode.

Fri. 5/18/12 11:43am holland oats:
