@David sorry to miss your show but the week caught up with me early.
See you played Souad Massi, Deb is one of my favourite albums. She seems to have gone a bit western recently recording a track with Paul Weller.

Ring-A-Ding-Ding-Dong!!!!

♥ 9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Ar-tay Hay-Hay!

🥁

♥ 9:12am Brian in UK:

Doug, still waiting for Laura Cantrell to co-host again. My entry marathon still vivid in my memory. Hearing her saying Brahn in Whatfud goosebump city.

♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Laura knows she has an open invitation to join the Drummer Stream...

9:13am Scraps:

It's kinda What A Fool Believes

🥁

♥ 9:14am listener james from westwood:

Got a pledge call from the amazing Laura Cantrell while in the phone room @ FMU. My heart damn near lifted through the roof of the station.

🥁

♥ 9:15am listener james from westwood:

Pledge for Doug's weekly half-hour soul capper, which sends you to Hinky Dinky Time like a long goodbye hug at the airport!

🥁

♥ 9:17am Jeff Golick:

...though if I could get some toothpaste, that'd be cool.

9:17am Artie Haywire:

@Scraps: Mrs. Haywire was just making that same observation. (Earbservation?)

As Doug just announced, one of the prizes you can win in the first hour, with pledges $20 or more is:
Hawai'i Authentic: The Pre-War Era Vol.2 (1927-1936) (on vinyl!)

♥ 9:24am Stanley:

Hi Brian - a quart of beer has got my name, photo and whole profile on it. But it's going to be hard pulling away from UM's show later on.

9:25am Scraps:

Oh! Oh! Is it Ma Vlast??

🥁

♥ 9:25am Brian in UK:

Never understood this title, especially in Czech.

♥ 9:25am Doug Schulkind:

This title translates as "A Thousand Faces"

♥ 9:26am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Stanley!

🥁

♥ 9:26am David D:

$75 or more will get you automatically and without further ado the amazing CD compilation of the Best of Give the Drummer Radio!

♥ 9:30am Doug Schulkind:

You are co'rre'ct, hyde.

♥ 9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, put out the Waterford crystal. MR C IS HERE!

♥ 9:30am hyde:

i don't mean to be diacritical

🥁

♥ 9:31am David D:

Yes the Marie Rottrová track is about love having a thousand faces. These types of "translations" are often sort of "readaptations" to say the least.

9:31am Scraps:

h'l''o'''

♥ 9:32am melinda:

mornin

🥁

♥ 9:33am David D:

Good morning and good afternoon Melinda, Scraps, Hyde, Mr C, and everyone else checking in!

Hi hi hi, melinda!

♥ 9:39am David D:

Next prize up for grabs (pledges $20 or more): The Washington Phillips and His Manzarene Dreams CD+Booklet playing right now...

9:40am Scraps:

Is it all Christian?

🥁

♥ 9:40am David D:

Okay, the booklet isn't playing, I don't think.

♥ 9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Let me yank a few wires and see if I can play the booklet. Actually, it's 76-page hardcover book!

🥁

♥ 9:42am David D:

Here is a link to the Washington Phillips: www.dust-digital.com...

🥁

♥ 9:42am David D:

Those hardcovers sound the best - just drop a hard needle on it.

♥ 9:46am hyde:

it's so true. i give money to a bunch of worthy nature type non-profits, and it constantly annoys me how many extra solicitations they send me. i'm already a member! stop harassing me! spend your money on conservation!

🥁

♥ 9:48am Jeff Golick:

"If you like Brazilian music..." aka "If you like music"

🥁

♥ 9:49am David D:

Next prize available to pledges $20 or over: Novos Baianos - Acabou Chorare (CD), as can be heard right about now...

9:49am Lore:

Thanks again & always for all the education & inspiration, Doug!

♥ 9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Inspiration is a two-way street, dear Lore.

🥁

♥ 9:50am Brian in UK:

@hyde I got the same with Wateraid, after asking them to desist it seems to have worked. Preaching to the converted.

🥁

♥ 9:50am David D:

Or to summarize winners will be drawn for the following three items in just a few minutes!

Hawai'i Authentic The Pre-War Era Vol.2 (1927-1936) (LP)
Washington Phillips Box Set/Book (CD Box Set)
Novos Baianos Acabou Chorare (CD)

🥁

♥ 9:51am David D:

The Box Set there refers to the largish hardcover book

🥁

♥ 9:52am Brian in UK:

David trust you are wearing a suitably sparkly getup.

♥ 9:52am hyde:

@Brian what i want is a simple opt out, like an "i will never give you money beyond the annual fee, so don't waste money on mail" box

🥁

♥ 9:53am David D:

Brian: That would be a first! But if it helps...

🥁

♥ 9:53am Jeff Golick:

Whenever I hear Phillips now I think, "Dylan *must've* heard this dude."

🥁

♥ 9:54am Brian in UK:

Jeff you read my mind, something in the intonation.

🥁

♥ 9:55am Jeff Golick:

Yeah. The whole gestalt, really.

🥁

♥ 9:55am Webhamster Henry:

Hi drummer somers! Nice show and his morning. Washington Phillips is always welcome, as is anything Brazilian.

🥁

♥ 9:56am Webhamster Henry:

My computer is crashy so I'm tapping this on on my iPad.

🥁

♥ 9:56am Brian in UK:

Dylan listened to the Anthology of American Folk Music which covers '27 - '30. Not sure if WP was present.

🥁

♥ 9:59am David D:

Last chance for the first batch of giveaways. $20 or more to be in the running: pledge.wfmu.org...

🥁

♥ 10:00am Brian in UK:

Listening blind you would be pushed to take this for Hawai'i.

🥁

♥ 10:00am David D:

Could have been homesick Texan transplants.

🥁

♥ 10:01am David D:

Although the accents do not add up.

🥁

♥ 10:06am Brian in UK:

Stand up for Middle Volta.

🥁

♥ 10:06am listener james from westwood:

It ain't a party until the Black Lodge Singers herald a mouse pledge!

🥁

♥ 10:08am David D:

As Doug just announced, all pledges $75 and over are in another additional prize running for today's Grand Prize, to be drawn at the end of the show:

Bobo Yeye: Belle Epoque in Upper Volta (3 CD Box w/176 page book)

♥ 10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Mighty Black Lodge Mouse Love!

🥁

♥ 10:12am Brian in UK:

Anyone sighted ndbob recently?

🥁

♥ 10:13am David D:

And next prize up for $20 pledge-grabs:

Liquid Liquid: Optimo (LP)

♥ 10:13am βrian:

I'm still wiping the sleep from my eyes. Good morning, Drummer Givers.

🥁

♥ 10:14am David D:

Good morning, βrian!

♥ 10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Here, βrian, have some Liquid Liquid to wipe it away.

♥ 10:19am βrian:

Coffee in hand, loving the A & M. I read they were school yard sweethearts.

♥ 10:20am Listener Robert:

One thing you might want to do to save fundraising cost -- maybe you've thought of this already -- is to not send physical mail solicitations to those who've been donating exclusively electronically.

🥁

♥ 10:20am David D:

Where's that pledge link again? Oh here it is...
pledge.wfmu.org...

♥ 10:23am Listener Robert:

I used to send checks, but in recent years only PayPal, and thought that if you responded to the trend, you might save by not physically mailing the solicitation. Of course it's possible some donors may go back to checks, or may keep a physical mail address and change e-mail address, but I don't know whether that justifies a routine letter mailing.

♥ 10:24am Lewis:

and it is 924 in the central time zone, the ground is frozen once again and the sun is shining..

🥁

♥ 10:24am Brian in UK:

I think Manu Chao made Amadou & Mariam sound too Western and rocky when I saw them, gone back to basics more now.

♥ 10:24am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Robert
The poobahs at the station have debated this. They understand the cost of physical mailings, but at this point I think they feel it is still critical to reach everyone possible. That is my understanding of the issue.

Oh, and Good Morning!

♥ 10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Lewis! All snow-covered here in Pittsburgh after a 60°F day yesterday.

🥁

♥ 10:27am Brian in UK:

You know what it is like people like to have a hard copy in their hands (stop sniggering at the back).

♥ 10:27am Little Danny:

Go Doug go Doug!

🥁

♥ 10:27am Andrew Waterloo:

I could make it an opt out question in the member profile.

♥ 10:28am βrian:

17°F and bright blue skies over the isthmus today. Sunbathed cat at my feet, working from home.

♥ 10:28am melinda:

I like getting the mailing.

🥁

♥ 10:29am David D:

Next prize revelation (in more ways than one):
Owiny Sigoma Band - Nyanza (CD)

♥ 10:29am Listener Robert:

The poobahs might try a controlled experiment, half & half, but they may consider it too risky.

♥ 10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for the pledge, Andrew Waterloo!

@Listener Robert
We are nothing if not risk averse. We are pioneering and innovative, but risk averse.

♥ 10:31am Listener Robert:

But it did get me that membership card, which I can use at Monty Hall if & when they ever try selling liquor as a private club.

♥ 10:31am βrian:

Sometimes you gotta risk a verse. Love letters come to mind.

🥁

♥ 10:31am Andrew Waterloo:

I like getting the mailing too, but I'll go online to read the information on the brochure while holding the brochure. But, I also understand the value of that physical connection with the mailing. Not something fans of vinyl can argue against.

10:32am Jesse K:

Morning all!

♥ 10:32am Listener Robert:

DS, that doesn't doesn't describe Field Marshal Freedman at all. If it does, it's a side of him I'm unaware of.

🥁

♥ 10:32am David D:

Hey, Jesse!

♥ 10:33am βrian:

If Monty Hall were in Wisconsin, they'd have a liquor license in a New York minute.

♥ 10:33am Listener Robert:

Instead they're in NJ, & it's taking a Wisconsin minute.

♥ 10:34am Lewis:

well played Listener Robert!

♥ 10:35am βrian:

Lewis, you are a philanthropic force of nature!

♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Jesse Kamoutsky!

♥ 10:36am Listener Robert:

What I meant, Doug, is that had I been thrust into Ken's position 30 yrs. ago, I'd've immediately set to cutting things back because we couldn't afford what we were doing. Instead he took a good deal of risks, and the results are before us.

♥ 10:37am βrian:

Ach, Crazy Time begins on Sunday! Makes me sleepy already.

♥ 10:37am Listener Robert:

With me we probably would've quickly been down to carrier current AM in Upsala's bldgs., & then gone completely when the college went down.

🥁

♥ 10:38am David D:

Pledge $20 to be in this hour's drawing for Owiny Sigoma and Liquid Liquid - $75 to automatically get the Give the Drummer Radio compilation CD and to be in the grand prize drawing!
pledge.wfmu.org...

♥ 10:40am melinda:

Nice selection, Mayuko.

🥁

♥ 10:43am Uncle Michael:

Third Man gets any cooler and I might start liking Jack White.

10:44am Dean:

"Demotica" is Greek for "garage." And that WTMAB record is killer.

🥁

♥ 10:45am David D:

And here are all three items for this hour's drawing:

Why The Mountains Are Black: Primeval Greek Village Music 1907-1960 (2 LP)
Owiny Sigoma Band - Nyanza (CD)
Liquid Liquid: Optimo (LP)

♥ 10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Heya, Dean the Translator!

🥁

10:45am Alex In Illinois:

WFMU fund drives and college radio fund drives are so much more fun than the Fund drives of any NPR station.

10:46am Bruce in Boston:

Love this sh*t

🥁

♥ 10:46am listener james from westwood:

The audacious wisdom of buying the frequency in the mid-90s before Upsala College could sell it to non-freeform hands should never be taken lightly. It enabled so much.

10:48am Dave in Vermont on the phone:

I dare say that was a little ecstatic

♥ 10:48am Lewis:

The largest single donation I have ever made was part of buying that license... money well given!

10:49am Dean:

I wonder whether there's a record store somewhere in this land called No More Records...

🥁

♥ 10:50am Artie Haywire:

The soul freezing horror of this "No More Records" song!

♥ 10:50am Lewis:

It is not hyperbole to say that the money I give to WFMU is at least as responsible for my quality of, and success in, life as money I have spent on a shrink.

♥ 10:51am Carmichael:

Heya Doug and drumbos. The best of luck marathoning!

10:51am Jeff g.:

Shaving to GTDR, as I'm doing now = one of my happy places.

🥁

♥ 10:52am David D:

Thanks, Carmichael!

🥁

♥ 10:54am Uncle Michael:

Lewis, I'm going to start signing off with "I'm afraid our time is up".

♥ 10:55am Lewis:

unimaginable sounds have become common place in my life thanks to GTDS and WFMU.

10:55am Dean:

When he promised "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage," Hoover was under the influence of Kalymnikos Issos.

10:56am Dean:

So sorry to hear this about Tony!

♥ 10:57am Doug Schulkind:

New slogan alert:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO: A chicken in every garage!

🥁

♥ 10:57am David D:

Last chance to pledge $20 or more to be in the drawing for:
pledge.wfmu.org...
Why The Mountains Are Black: Primeval Greek Village Music 1907-1960 (2 LP)
Owiny Sigoma Band - Nyanza (CD)
Liquid Liquid: Optimo (LP)

🥁

♥ 10:58am David D:

This ZNR is great - need to know more...

♥ 11:00am Little Danny:

That ZNR track was sublime!

🥁

♥ 11:01am listener james from westwood:

Favorite quote from a marathon past, not one during Tony C's shift: "There are songs out there whose Google results only come from Tony Coulter's playlists."

♥ 11:04am Doug Schulkind:

Sublime knows sublime, Little Danny!

♥ 11:04am hyde:

my reason is basically that i wouldn't know what to do if there weren't no wfmu

♥ 11:04am Kris Holmes:

woohoo, MJH, Mr & Mrs Holmes singing along in bed over morning coffee to this.

♥ 11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Big love to all the Holmeses!

♥ 11:06am Kris Holmes:

baby baby baby baby!!!

🥁

11:06am Alex In Illinois:

The combination of music on this show is reason enough. But, this interactive listener community, and the other shows on the Drummer stream kind of pushes things over the top.

♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind:

All roads lead to Tony, Listener James. Tis so true.

♥ 11:07am Listener Robert:

James, I now have a comparison for that transition: the purchase of WNTI, Centenary College, to U. of Penn, who affiliated with NPR. Now their staff has essentially re-formed as Newt Radio on stream. They had the good fortune to have been ousted at a time when streaming audio was already a thing, and a friend who was a supporter of the arts who'd recently purchased the Newton Theatre. But would streaming even have been such a thing now had it not been for WFMU? Yeah, probably, but may have taken years longer.

♥ 11:09am Stanley:

I always prefer it with the fuzz

🥁

♥ 11:09am Andrew Waterloo:

Not just a place to discover music, but also a community of music enthusiasts who are dedicated to discovering, sharing, and cataloging every nook and cranny of music imagined or not.

11:09am Dean:

Programmed properly (e.g., this GTD stream) (web-)radio is a medium for communication of information, knowledge, and most importantly enthusiasm about stuff that matters. Totally agree with Alex in IL @11:06.

🥁

♥ 11:10am Uncle Michael:

True fact: KJHK at the University of Kansas was the first radio station online (not first college station...first station), though UNC disputes this. And yes, KJHK is just another sucky college station now.

11:10am Jeff g.:

I am now without fuzz.

11:11am Jesse K:

If I may...This great sega song is also on my premium called Name That Name That: Songs that namecheck their own genre

♥ 11:12am Doug Schulkind:

HEY, WE ARE UNDER $800 TO GO TO HIT THE VERY AMBITIOUS GOAL. HELP ME GET THERE! pledge.wfmu.org...

🥁

♥ 11:12am Artie Haywire:

Jeff G: Insert fuzz pedal between pre-amp and power amp sections of your radio receiver rig. So much fuzz. Everything fuzz. Make interactive with fuzz/wah. Yip!

♥ 11:12am βrian:

UNC meaning Univ of North Carolina, right? Not the Man from U.N.C.le Michael.

♥ 11:12am Doug Schulkind:

You absolutely may, Jesse K!

11:13am Dean:

Recently put my money where my yammering mouth is when I subscribed after decades of deprivation to Fanfare ("The Magazine for Serious Record Collectors"). Like WFMU's best, it is both an education and an inspiration. The reviewers are hella smart and knowledgeable. Better, one quickly learns what they like, what they don't, and why.

🥁

♥ 11:13am David D:

There are so many reasons to support this station, stream, and this show in particular. I almost hesitate to mention the great prizes that are available this hour, but I will...

Amanaz Africa (2CD)

Soul Sok Sega: Sega Sounds from Mauritius1973-79 (CD)

🥁

♥ 11:15am David D:

And that's for pledges $20 and over - for $75 you automatically get the Give the Drummer Radio compilation CD, and are in the drawing for Bobo Yeye : Belle Epoque in Upper Volta (3 CD Box
w/176 page book)

♥ 11:17am Lewis:

no, the threat is unambiguously existential ;-))

♥ 11:17am Kris Holmes:

The Bobo Yeye box is incredible, Numero sent me the vinyl box when it came out & it blew me away, it was all new to me & fantastic. The photos in the book are incredible, the backstory is bananas & the music is outstanding!!!!

♥ 11:18am Kris Holmes:

The Marathon from Marathon

🥁

♥ 11:18am David D:

Metamarathon!

♥ 11:19am Doug Schulkind:

You are never alone when you're with Kris Holmes. Because, like, Kris is with you. Right there. But also metaphorically. too.

♥ 11:20am Kris Holmes:

we are now out of bed dancing around the bedroom to Clifton heh

Late arrival, I'll take my demerits (Stoopid meeting...)
Go Drummers!

♥ 11:26am David D:

Marathon or no marathon, I'm enjoying this set!

🥁

11:27am Alex In Illinois:

We just need about 10.13 more people to pledge $75 each. Or maybe 10 people to pledge $75, and one to pledge $10.

♥ 11:27am Lewis:

(and of course you really only need the average song length to 3.5 min (equally music and nerd hear))

🥁

♥ 11:29am David D:

Hey, doctorjazz!

The check is not in the mail. It's already in Auricle's bank acct.

11:36am Joshua in Richmond:

Thanks for the shout-out. I'm looking forward this premium. We listen at our house because the main WFMU stream sometimes just needs to be turned off. This stream is next in line; it's consistent; and it sometimes even has kwela.

🥁

♥ 11:37am listener james from westwood:

Whoo-hoo! Way to go, pledgers! Way to go, Doug!!

11:37am Dean:

I always admired Tamil script, so much that when I'd vacation as a kid with my parents I'd hunt down the Gideon's bible in the hotel room to find the array of scripture translated into various languages, including Tamil.
