8:57am d¢ pät:

Carl Jung would approve, d¢ pät.

🥁

♥ 9:04am Jeff Golick, your Disney TV correspondent:

There was a fine chiffarobe mention on the Halloween ep of Phineas & Ferb that I watched last night. Is there a cultural antecedent for this? Please help.

Hi, all.

♥ 9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Happy Off Day, Listener James!

9:05am chas.:

Good morning, y'all! I usually just lurk, but I have to vocalize when my x-rays are leaked on Drummersome.

🥁

♥ 9:06am Uncle Michael:

An antecedent prior to "To Kill A Mockingbird", Jeff?

🥁

♥ 9:07am Jeff Golick, cultural ignoramus:

Well, no. I guess that's probably the ur-mention. Sort of a stretch for the cartoon I was watching, but...yeah.

🥁 ♥ 9:08am duke:

The five umlauts were my favorite doo-wap group

♥ 9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, chas! You need to ear something, friend. Your all skin and bones. No, all bones!

9:10am chas.:

perfect typo, Doug! I always come here to ear.

9:10am d¢ pät:

WOW. LOOKIT ALL THEM UMLAUTS!!!

♥ 9:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Ignoramuses don't use big words like antecedent.

♥ 9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Ear, eat?! Very little difference on this show. Unless you are eating ears. Then we have a problem.

♥ 9:12am Doug Schulkind:

The Five Umlauts. I loved their early stuff. Before they söld out.

🥁

♥ 9:13am Brian in UK:

What's that noise I hear. Oh, it is the sound of goalposts moving.

🥁

♥ 9:13am Gary:

Just in time for the Turkish!

🥁

♥ 9:14am Brian in UK:

Due to aging & death they now are touring as the The Two Dots.

♥ 9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Turkish thanks to Bodega Pop! bodegapop.blogspot.com...

♥ 9:14am Webhamster Henry:

I'd also like to remind listeners that even when GTDS is not live and programmed by dice-tossing zombies, it's still great!

♥ 9:15am Doug Schulkind:

T H A N K S to d¢ pät or the pledge!!! He says Bülent Ersoy made him do it!

Nine percent to go!

9:15am d¢ pät:

!!!!

🥁

♥ 9:15am Brian in UK:

Has there ever been a Tequila Mockingbird cocktail. Guess there must have been. I stopped at Marquerita and Old Fashioned.

9:16am d¢ pät:

@BrianUK: I always wanted to invent that one. It has to have been done, right?

🥁

♥ 9:17am Brian in UK:

Khan with a soft 'K'.

♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Wow, first the Boo Radley mention (see comment, above) and now Tequila Mockingbird!

9:18am Polk Biggins:

Hullo friends, hi Doug! First time here at GTDS.

♥ 9:18am Barack Obama:

Yes we Khan.

🥁

♥ 9:19am Brian in UK:

Can I kick it?

🥁

♥ 9:20am Brian in UK:

@ Jeff G brings us back to why abbreviated is such a long word.

♥ 9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Damn nice to meet you, Polk Biggins! Grab a cushion and have a seat in the front row (on the floor, sorry).

🥁

♥ 9:22am holland oats:

& plz remove yr hat

🥁

♥ 9:23am Jeff Golick:

dem bones, tho

9:23am Holly in NC:

Good morning to all, & happy halloween to all US listeners!
Off to photograph a HUGE fairy ring of mushrooms that has developed in the yard where I'm dogsitting - another client is a forager (trustworthy, sells to local restaurants) and hopefully he can tell me if they're what I think they are (yummy hen of the woods) or if they will kill me if I touch them. Don't worry, NOT going to touch them ;-)

Welcome Polk Biggins!

♥ 9:24am Doug Schulkind:

I love how the Indian ecstatic singers call their backing group their "Party."

Imagine, you're sitting in the audience at Leeds, 23 May 1970. Over the loudspeaker, the announcement as the band hits the stage, "Ladies and gentlemen, Roger Daltrey & Party."

OK, that was dumb.

Greetings Holly in NC!

9:25am d¢ pät:

Happy 'ween to foreign listeners too. Another great invention from Ireland.

9:26am d¢ pät:

"foreign" duh, I mean Non-US listeners. Need more coffee

9:26am Holly in NC:

@dc pat - yes, turnips!
I love turnips. But rutabagas even more.

9:27am d¢ pät:

Me too Holly!

♥ 9:28am Doug Schulkind:

At the grocery store, be sure to thank your cashier and your rutubaga.

OK, that was dumb, too. I'm off my game today.

♥ 9:29am Doug Schulkind:

Only your pledges will yank me safely out of the pun dungeon.

♥ 9:29am Webhamster Henry:

I would have segued to Shoukichi Kina, but this shakuhachi is pretty good.

♥ 9:30am tikk:

As long as Roger Daltrey's party doesn't include McVicar, I'm alright.

9:30am doca:

Morning, all!

9:31am still b/p:

In the garden of anagram advisories, turnips = spurn it.

♥ 9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Hey everybody tikk is here! Hey tikk!

And howdy, Webhamster Henry! Shoukichi Kina would be a damn fine choice. Let's compromise and go with Shakuhachi Kina.

♥ 9:33am Doug Schulkind:

After all these years, still b/p!

♥ 9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Hi doca!

9:34am doca:

Today is Halloween?

🥁

♥ 9:34am Gary:

I have too much work to do today to start DLing a bunch of stuff, Doug -- stop it!

9:36am d¢ pät:

cheers.

🥁

♥ 9:37am Uncle Michael:

I'm a Cubs fan. Mourning doesn't even help.

9:40am d¢ pät:

Buddy sounds like Woody

♥ 9:41am Steve Bartman:

Tell me about it, Uncle Michael.

🥁

♥ 9:41am holland oats:

can't help but hear this one in 'dylan twang'

9:44am Holly in NC:

@Doug - Everything I've caught has been wonderful, now must go to different job, sob. Have a great rest of show xo

I do believe I am going to buy a rutabaga (or 2) after work. Thank you @DC Pat for inspiration!

♥ 9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you have a job to go to, Holly!

9:47am d¢ pät:

wow, This Frank Fairfield is really kicking it.

@Holly: I think I'm going to as well. Already carved 4 pumpkins, might as well hit the rutabagas...

9:47am Holly in NC:

@Doug... it's not a "real" job. But will enable me to put 2 rutabagas on table, barely ;-)

🥁

♥ 9:50am Brian in UK:

Think Mr Fairfield was over here last year.

♥ 9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Frank Fairfield is from, wait for it... Fresno.

🥁

♥ 9:51am Uncle Michael:

The word "Rutabaga" always puts me in mind of the "Traffic Zone" episode of Hoppity Hooper.

9:53am still b/p:

For me, the cued memory is often "Eat Hootersville rutabagas!"

♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Friends, just $190.16 will drag my ass across the finish line. And if you pledge that amount, I'll play something Finnish!!

🥁

♥ 9:54am Brian in UK:

Jack Rose,
Perigrinated
And returned to the seated position.

♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Perambulated, too.

🥁

♥ 9:57am Uncle Michael:

I love this song way beyond all reason.

🥁

♥ 9:58am holland oats:

omg

♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Letting my Hair down, friends.

🥁

♥ 10:01am Uncle Michael:

"Frank Mills" is the best piece of writing in the whole of "HAIR."

♥ 10:02am Webhamster Henry:

My daughter Ada thought the Blues for Percy Danforth was Indian music.

10:05am d¢ pät:

Yeah, that Groupe Folklorique Montagnais tune was killer.

🥁

♥ 10:08am Alex In Illinois:

The only Percy Danforth I know about is the one who wrote the book and recorded the cassette from which I learned to play the bones. when I Google that name, that is also the only one I see.

🥁

♥ 10:10am Alex In Illinois:

When this current pledge meter hits 100%, will it be the second or third one that this show has completed during this pledge drive?

♥ 10:10am Webhamster Henry:

Yep - a tamboura is not to far off from a banjo at that.
Meanwhile, in re music by Native Americans, check out Pura Fé, Tuscarora singer, beautiful bluesy voice. www.purafe.com .

♥ 10:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
I mentioned earlier that the show hit the goal last week and the goal posts got moved back. As an overall total, WFMU is sitting at only 68% of the total it had hoped to raise this month, so every little bit helps.

♥ 10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Adolpe Winkler (no relation to Henry) on trombone here.

🥁

♥ 10:13am Brian in UK:

This sounds a bit like the rhythm for 'Look Out There's a Monster Coming' by The Bonzoes.

♥ 10:15am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
I drive through six tunnels en route from Pittsburgh to New York City. One of them is the Tuscarora.

🥁

♥ 10:17am Uncle Michael:

I are things in Tuscarora?

🥁

♥ 10:18am holland oats:

this be one swingin' rent party

🥁

♥ 10:20am Parq:

Howdy all. Sitting here waiting for the fire drill to start. Doug, "Six Tunnels from Pittsburgh" would be a good name for a song. Or maybe a play.

10:22am chas.:

What's the provenance of today's GIF, Doug? Pretending the trombone sound is coming out of that trumpet is working too well.

10:22am chas.:

The skeleton's keeping time with everything you play and I can't get a damn thing done.

♥ 10:23am Hugo:

Ah, Mr. Tusques! A jolly time was had by all, I'm sure!

♥ 10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Parq and Hugo! (Please kinabalu for me for this Francois Tusques.)

@chas
The GIF comes from a Louis Armstrong short called "Skeletons in the Closet"

♥ 10:25am Doug Schulkind:

THANK YOU Lucy in Brooklyn!! Due to Lucy's largess, we're up to 92%!

♥ 10:27am Hugo:

I'm sure kinabalu will be delighted!

10:27am lucyinbrooklyn:

good halloween morning to you from brooklyn.

♥ 10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Yay Lucy!

♥ 10:29am Doug Schulkind:

Next up, Roland Kirk jamming with Sonny Boy Williamson. No, I'm not kidding.

♥ 10:32am Doug Schulkind:

THANK YOU THANK YOU
To Michael from Brooklyn who pledged earlier before the show began. Got us off to a great start. THANKS Michael!

♥ 10:37am Webhamster Henry:

This is better than the sitar Guantanamera I used to have!

🥁 ♥ 10:40am βrian:

I remember seeing Percy Danforth perform in Ann Arbor in the 80s. At the Hill street Ark.

🥁

♥ 10:42am Gary:

Borges, wow -- where did you find it?

🥁

♥ 10:43am Mike Lupica:

The pledge--->acknowledgement cycle is approaching singularity. (In a good way.) Yo Doug!

♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Mike Lupica! Mike Lupica!

♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
I'll look for the link. Gimmee a minute.

♥ 10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Astor Piazzolla/Jorge Luis Borges, here: deskatalogadosymas.blogspot.com...

🥁

♥ 10:51am Gary:

Gracias!

♥ 10:54am Doug Schulkind:

¡De nada!

10:57am Jesse K:

this is perfect

♥ 10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Half of me likes not knowing what the words mean. It makes the whole thing more dramatic. The other two-thirds of me really wants to know what the words mean. I Googled looking for a translation, but came up empty.

♥ 11:01am Doug Schulkind:

More sounds from Argentina...

♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Forgot to say HEY to βrian! Out of the corner of my eye, I think I saw "Brian in UK" and filed it under "already said hey."

And hey to all my friends on the isthmus as well.

♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind:

And I see you there, Jesse K, my Tuesday Brother.

♥ 11:10am Doug Schulkind:

I lied. This is from Nigeria, not Ghana.

11:12am still b/p:

Maybe something from Burkina Faso today as a special na-na-na-na hey heyyy goodbye for Blaise Campaore?

11:13am Jesse K:

Hi Doug, glad to be up and at em with you today, I'm still readjusting to office work again

♥ 11:16am Stanley:

Hey hey

♥ 11:16am Doug Schulkind:

How very topical of you, still b/p! Sadly, I no Burkinan tracks nearby.

@Jesse K
I would like to make that adjustment myself. ASAP.

Heya Stanley!

♥ 11:22am Doug Schulkind:

This track is also from Nigeria. Performed by a band of soldiers in the Nigerian Army.

11:23am Jesse K:

It's a relief in a lot of ways ($) but I was getting so used to my mornings off

♥ 11:24am Carmichael:

Good morning Douglas, and accolades to the acolytes.

🥁

♥ 11:24am Gary:

Loving the organ

🥁

♥ 11:26am Alex In Illinois:

@Doug: (I got stuck in a meeting, so sorry for the delay) Instead of setting you back to 68%, I think they have a second-level pledge meter that has a bulldog and a bull on it, and when that one reaches 100%, the bulldog should jump up and clamp on to the bull's neck.

♥ 11:27am Hugo:

The Nigerian Army band is definitely better than the Boko Aram Band, if there is any such. I would think not.

🥁

♥ 11:27am Alex In Illinois:

I meant to type: "I think they SHOULD have a second-level pledge meter. . . ":

🥁

♥ 11:28am Uncle Michael:

I trust many of you will come roll dem bones with me at the top of the hour. www.wfmu.org...

🥁

♥ 11:28am Gary:

Okay, wait, whoa -- Doug, I need whatever this hip hop is

♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind:

No d/l link for this Gary. I'll rip it and send it.

@Alex in Illinois
I appoint you vice president in charge of pledge widgetry!

🥁

♥ 11:31am Gary:

Bless you!

🥁

♥ 11:34am holland oats:

wacka-wacka

🥁

♥ 11:35am Parq:

Blushing.

11:37am d¢ pät:

1929?? I didn't know they had sex back then...

♥ 11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Only $145.16 will finish this thing off and get us to the GOAL. A special plea to all adults in the audience: Get your damn kids to pledge!

♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
I fully stocked Halloween liquor cabinet will be pulled out of the mini-fridge over at Hinky Dinky Time Radio. The pouring starts in 15 minutes: wfmu.org...

♥ 11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Still blushing, Parq?

🥁

♥ 11:47am Gary:

Whoa, I had to come back here to see if I was hearing what I thought I was hearing

🥁

♥ 11:49am Uncle Michael:

The Liquor Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

You always are hearing what you think you're hearing, Gary.

♥ 11:51am Doug Schulkind:

ALEX IN ILLINOIS! ALEX IN ILLINOIS! ALEX IN ILLINOIS!

Put us over the top! That's what he did!

Thank you Alex!

11:55am Jesse K:

yay Kuupuu. YAY GOAL!!!

🥁

♥ 11:55am Gary:

Yay!

♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind:

No more moving goalposts. We are stuck on 100% thanks to Alex in Illinois and Mike and Lucy and Michael and DC Pat and Listener James who all pledged today and everyone who pledged throughout October. I am so grateful!

♥ 11:58am Doug Schulkind:

And Uncle Michael is now just $85 away from reaching the goal for his show. Please here: www.wfmu.org...

🥁

♥ 11:58am Alex In Illinois:

That 98% this close to the end of today's show was starting to annoy me. I just had to push it a little more.

♥ 11:59am Doug Schulkind:

I like it when you get annoyed, Alex. I like it a lot.

🥁

♥ 11:59am Alex In Illinois:

Or was it 93%? Whatever. It was too close to just leave it there.

🥁

♥ 11:59am Uncle Michael:

See you all trick-or-treating at my scary front door...

🥁

♥ 12:02pm Gary:

Thanks as always Doug for so much new & terrific sounds!
