Doug, pretend for a moment that you are me. I am in Mexico City (again), listening to your voice, and preparing my day, where it's going to be in the low 70s. Working here on a new documentary film. It's no substitute for your concerns, but, maybe it helps to know we're all connected to you now.

Hello people!

9:37am still b/p:

Good morning, Doug and all.
The knob twiddler was purty close to the beat fer Drake.

@ Gary -- I'm not usually in a listening situation for your show, but I heard a good portion the other night. Oooh, ah, oh, so good! Really enjoyed, and must try to make it a higher priority appointment.

🥁

♥ 9:38am Gary:

Aw, thanks, SB/P!

🥁

♥ 9:38am Gary:

Hey suddenly the sound went very tinny. Am I the only one this happened to?

🥁

♥ 9:38am Uncle Michael:

Here too.

9:39am ndbob:

and here but better now

🥁

♥ 9:39am Gary:

It's fine now -- probably just the track

🥁

♥ 9:39am Uncle Michael:

Better. Bad track?

♥ 9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Just a crappy track, Gary. Sorry to throw a wrench in your tweeter.

9:40am Spaniel:

morning all, glad I could make it for part of the country set at least

9:42am still b/p:

This guy is as high as Blueboy on LSD in the Dragnet episode.

🥁

Not a big deal, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a stream issue!

Glad to be coming in like a lion in the Spaniel's den!

cheat and lie?

🥁

♥ 9:44am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug. Spring has sprung and I'm the one, to say how it makes me feel now. Grass is green and you are the best DJ that's ever been. Yee Haw.

🥁

♥ 9:44am Uncle Michael:

I've never played a bad track. NEVER.

Ok...umm...not that often.

♥ 9:44am annie:

Who threw a spaniel in the works?

🥁

♥ 9:48am Brian in UK:

Was John Lennon's book A Spaniel or a Spaniard in the works?

@Spaniel
I once performed in a talent show with Tiny Tim.

🥁

♥ 9:49am Brian in UK:

That gif reminds me of a rude title of a Buddy Holley song.

🥁

♥ 9:50am Alex In Illinois:

I did not expect a fuzz guitar in this song!

🥁

♥ 9:50am Uncle Michael:

The story about how the original version of this by Buck had the first fuzz guitar is apocryphal.

♥ 9:50am Doug Schulkind:

You've got big ears for them Yakety quotes, Listener James. #impressed

9:51am still b/p:

Does anybody threaten with, "Your ass is grass" any more?

🥁

♥ 9:52am Brian in UK:

I guess willy does not have the same conotations as over here.

🥁

♥ 9:52am listener james from westwood:

It's in my DNA from being allowed to watch "Benny Hill" in middle school. :D Hearing it in full on WFMU only caused those genes to express.

🥁

♥ 9:52am Uncle Michael:

I do.

9:52am jeff g:

is hillbilly willy a metaphor?

🥁

♥ 9:53am Uncle Michael:

Yes, it indicates goyim.

9:53am Spaniel:

@Doug

This Tiny Tim?

Good morning from the Land Thong. A brisk 6℉. this morning. Balmy weather on the way!

♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Spaniel
No, this Tiny Tim: www.tinytim.org...

🥁

♥ 9:56am Brian in UK:

@βrian Is that crazy weather? Or is this another expression from across the ocean?

♥ 9:57am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, βrian! We're up to 8°F! Woo!

9:57am still b/p:

Land Thong natives = Wedgietarians?

9:58am Spaniel:

ha! wow. close tab, close tab!

♥ 9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Land Thong? That would be Florida, no?

9:59am βrian:

It's cooler than usual but not unheard of. The land thong is just our distinctive geographical feature.

9:59am βrian:

@Doug: No, that would be a land dong.

♥ 10:00am annie:

sucked into the comments section... hhmm.. i hate to leave you but i really must get to some semblance of work on this website i created. i'm in the regret stage, but i know it's just the data entry part, the posting part, and the sitting still part. good thing this paying gig coming up will be just an hour of my morning. it certainly won't stop me taking moves in scrabble.. ... closing THIS tab for the comments and concentrating on the task at hand.

♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
If Dolly had been singing about Hillbilly Jim Johnson, THAT would be a metaphor. Or at least a euphemism.

♥ 10:01am annie:

still listening, though

🥁 ♥ 10:03am βrian:

Michael, were you kidding about the reference to goyim? I mean, it really works, in a sense.

10:03am Lee:

Hey Doug, thanks for muckling through a crappy week to make all of ours that much better. GTDS is the culminating highlight of my work week.

♥ 10:03am Webhamster Henry:

Good Brazilian morning, Doug!

♥ 10:04am Webhamster Henry:

A sort of proto-rap from Northeaster Brazil. Trading insults with a singing parter while trying to one-up your opponent with your freestyle verbal improv skills.

🥁 ♥ 10:09am βrian:

So which GTD show to hit with one's marathon love dart, I wonder?

10:11am adrian in mpls:

well, i guess that's one place to hang one's gold record....

♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
A pledge to any GTDR show represents love for the stream as a whole. Pin your pledgetail on the donkeystream!

♥ 10:12am Doug Schulkind:

@adrian in mpls
Hang being the operative word.

🥁 ♥ 10:14am βrian:

And no lemon pledges, thank you!

With my next selection, I am about to do something I think I have never done in my 35 years of doing radio. Can you guess what it is?

10:29am still b/p:

Play something weak?

Play a cassette? Hi, all.

Oh glenn, you forget, I broadcast from home now. Get my point?...

Artie Haywire is now poet laureate of GTDS.

Ah ice sports, eh? I'm too futbol-focused at the moment.

♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind:

ANSWER:
Play a Mel Tormé record.

10:37am d¢ pät:

wow, this is my new favorite tune.

10:39am Mr C:

Mel Torme!!! yesss

🥁 ♥ 10:39am βrian:

As a kid, we called him Mel Torment. What did we know?

🥁

♥ 10:40am Parq:

The Velvet Fog makes his second appearance on GTSD in as many days.

♥ 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
A dude was arrested here in Pittsburgh last week after robbing a store and then running across a frozen Allegheny River. He was arrested on the opposite shore. He had stolen some few lottery tickets. I think by not falling into the river and dying, HE WON!

10:42am Lewis:

is it too trite to note that the literal interpretation of the Torme cut is true on WFMU (if we beg forgiveness for referring to a grown person by a designator commonly reserved for children).

10:43am Lewis:

(something bad has happened on the play list…)

♥ 10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Mel Tormé has always been my sort of bete noir. My nemesis. But even I, in my dotage, can still learn to love.

Nice one, Lewis! I will email Trouble that track. It could become her new theme song!

10:44am still b/p:

After all the frozen years and then the possibility of thaw, took a while for a just-right choice of Mel to gel.
Doug on 5/6/14:
"Now that I have announced my distaste for Mr. Tormé, I surely must spend the time find a song to play."

♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Lewis
That was the curse of Mel!

♥ 10:45am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
I completely forgot about that. Consciously at least. Wow.

10:47am βrian:

One must admit is voice was MELlifluous ...

10:47am glenn:

yeah, but mel was great on night court. then again, who wasn't?

10:50am still b/p:

Yeahhh, great Tiger Rag renditions on GTDS shows this week.

I just want to crawl up inside Joe Lee Wilson's voice and have a nap. I swoon for his voice like a schoolboy with a crush.

10:52am glenn:

huh. today in night court trivia, john larroquette was the narrator in the texas chainsaw massacre.

10:57am Dean:

Joe Lee Wilson obit in NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/arts/music/joe-lee-wilson-jazz-singer-is-dead-at-75.html

Named his daughter Naima. Cool.

Ooh, I *love* cilantro!!

🥁

♥ 10:58am listener james from westwood:

So now you've got a science project for later. Drink plenty of fluids and note the results in your lab book!

10:59am glenn:

did nobody ever ONCE considering have the velvet fog do a velvet underground tribute record?

10:59am Dean:

Stop casting asparagus at Mel Tormé.

🥁 ♥ 10:59am βrian:

Can't stomach Genesis, though.

10:59am glenn:

i love cilantro, but i hate calling it cilantro. coriander, man.

11:00am d¢ pät:

I love cilantro, asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts...not hugely in favor of Torme..

🥁 ♥ 11:01am βrian:

I think of coriander as the seeds. Love those, too. Little PowerPellets, yo. Culinary depth charges.

11:01am tr//sh:

Isn't coriander the seed and cilantro the stems and leaf before seed.

🥁

♥ 11:02am Alex In Illinois:

Yes t//sh.

♥ 11:02am Doug Schulkind:

I can tolerate coriander. Cilantro is nails on my gastronomic blackboard.

🥁

♥ 11:02am Alex In Illinois:

I mean tr//sh

11:03am tr//sh:

Strong pubescence, if you can call that, in that plant's development. Basil is slower by comparison.

11:03am ndbob:

ever hear Torme's cover of "The Power of Love"? a Shindogs song

♥ 11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya Dean! I will no longer stalk (asparagus joke) Mr. Tormé.

11:03am Dean:

Huge fan of all the comestibles and vocalists mentioned so far. But then I like to eat soap, too.

11:05am Dean:

Why, Doug, just this morning I was prepping my son, who turns 9 today, for his spelling test. "Stalk" is one of the words. Celery was my example, but asparagus would have had a more pungent effect.

11:06am glenn:

not to me. if i want fresh coriander, i go to the produce aisle. if i want seed, i go to the spice aisle. easy peasy.

♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind:

Happy birthday, Son of Dean!

🥁

♥ 11:07am Alex In Illinois:

I did not know that anyone did not like cilantro. What if you add garlic? Everything tastes better with garlic. Though I like asparagus unseasoned, without even any butter.

11:07am tr//sh:

Cilantro is better in combinations, I think. In a burrito, with green/red Thai curry etc..

11:07am glenn:

today in canadian stupidity. news.nationalpost.com...

♥ 11:07am Parq:

Still here, but home and doing housework, so can't hang around the schoolyard.

@ndbob
You have recommend that Mel Tormé song to me before. I oughta get off my butt and find it finally. (Thanks)

11:08am Mr C:

Mel'sVerve records, are minor masterpieces (Marty Paitch collaboration), to me...

♥ 11:08am Doug Schulkind:

Hello up there, tr//sh! Almost missed ya! Greetings and apologies to anyone I have missed in the rapidly scrolling comments.

🥁 ♥ 11:09am βrian:

I like to do a moderate sauté with asparagus in olive oil. Then just a bit of salt and pepper.

11:11am Roberrt:

Dean, what brand of soap do you prefer -- to eat, I mean?

♥ 11:12am Doug Schulkind:

I made a sautéed asparagus pizza not terribly long ago. With anchovies.

11:12am tr//sh:

And good thoughts to your Mum in hospital, Doug.

I've been off to the side listening w/o comment/read for most of the show. Fine listening. Doing so much radio over time muist creates reserves of shows of-the-moment or near-to-the-last-moments.

♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind:

@tr//sh
I could do my radio show in my sleep at this point. Putting the radio show together, however, requires toothpicks to keep my ears open, if not my eyes.

11:14am Dean:

Thanks, Doug.

@Alex: Many people who don't like cilantro are so-called supertasters, whose sensitivity to certain flavors, particularly bitter ones, is unusually strong. See, e.g., http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98695984

@Robert, No preference. I tend to consume it during happy hour at the corner bar.

♥ 11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Nice to see you, Alex in Illinois!

♥ 11:18am Doug Schulkind:

A predisposition to find cilantro revolting has been found to be genetic. My mother, sister and daughter share my distaste for it. My mother will get violent with a waiter if cilantro is a dish she orders having first asked if it contained the herb. My wife thinks we're all crazy and loves cilantro.

11:19am Dean:

@Doug, Your wife could be correct. There is a genetic basis, too, for craziness.

🥁

♥ 11:20am Alex In Illinois:

Hi Doug. I have been listening since the start. Started out in my car with the smartphone app playing as I was arriving to work.

🥁 ♥ 11:20am βrian:

Supertasters? Nonsense. I viscerally loathed cilantro until I tasted it in context. The scales fell from my tongue!

♥ 11:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
My beloved is always correct.

🥁

♥ 11:23am Uncle Michael:

Is that what your tattoo says?

11:23am ndbob:

and asparagus season is almost here - my brief healthy eating season

♥ 11:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Ill
Driving around listening to WFMU outside of NYC/NJ is just...so...cool. It feels like cheating death.

🥁 ♥ 11:25am duke:

Finally got that radio tuned in.

11:26am still b/p:

Cilantro is one of those hotly debated tastes that, upon tasting it, made me wonder where all the debating heat and adamancy comes from. It's not like Icelandic hákarl or sumthin'. It's that "no accounting for" thing...in decorating, art, music or herbs.

11:28am tr//sh:

@b/p What does hákarl taste like??

🥁

♥ 11:28am Alex In Illinois:

@Doug: the NPR article does not conclude that Supertasters are the ones that hate cilantro. Instead in concludes that it is the smell that makes a difference, and the cilantro haters are not detecting the aromatic compounds, but are detecting mostly the malodorous unsaturated aldahydes compounds. The article does conclude that it is genetic.

♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Now I'll play the good stuff, duke.

@UM
Tattoo you!

11:29am βrian:

I read somewhere that everyone excretes the asparagus compound in their urine, but not everyone can smell it.

11:30am still b/p:

While I like cilantro, the possibility of even trying hákarl is so far away I couldn't see it even if I had my own personal Hubble.

11:32am still b/p:

Before they settled on "Everybody plays the fool...", The Main Ingredient considered a version of the song that said, "Everybody excretes the asparagus compound in their urine..."

11:32am Dean:

My kids love hákarl popsicles.

11:34am βrian:

I my pre-epiphanic state, I perceived the flavor of cilantro as being akin to licking a 9-volt battery or eating detergent. Now, hot/sour/cilantro is my holy culinary trinity.

@UM - I say yes. I got a recipe from a commentor here a year or two ago and it was great and included cilantro.

Good morning and happy Friday y'all.

🥁

♥ 11:42am Alex In Illinois:

Now that I know that hákarl exists, I will have to try it, as long as it does not jiggle like jello.
Uncle Michael: I think I have only had the kind of chimichurri with the cilantro, but since I now know that it also exists without it, I will have to try it that way too.

@Doug, I'm not sure about that. I think the way DSLRs are marketing to consumers has brought on more photography enthusiasts.

Don't DSLRs have an F stop setting? Or did F stop get replaced with another term, the way ASA became ISO?

🥁

♥ 11:51am Uncle Michael:

Alex, yes...anyone that knows how to use a dslr knows what f-stops are.

🥁

♥ 11:52am Parq:

I use the F stop when I go to one of Mac's and the Barber's events in Carrol Gardens. Just saying.

11:53am ndbob:

Ah I love capybaras!

🥁

♥ 11:53am Uncle Michael:

Jemes, when I lived across the street from the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago we could hear lions if our front window was open.

Also, our place had once been Marlon Perkins' home.

♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Are there F stops on digital cameras?!

🥁

♥ 11:54am Uncle Michael:

Great stuff, Doug. I hope to see you all in the next room.

🥁 ♥ 11:54am βrian:

@ndbob: But not with cilantro, right?

🥁

♥ 11:55am Uncle Michael:

Yes, Doug.

🥁

♥ 11:55am Uncle Michael:

You scared me Doug!

♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Premature showendulation!

🥁 ♥ 11:56am βrian:

@UM: Did you also detect "the sweet essence of giraffe?"

🥁

♥ 11:56am Brian in UK:

I refer you to 09:44 the greatest DJ EVER, Love you Doug. Good luck with the marathon.

🥁

♥ 11:56am Parq:

My digital camera has virtual f stops as one of its options. I mean one of the many, many secondary features that the vast majority of consumers never use. Most people I meet don't even know how to turn off the flash.

11:56am Mr C:

ciao..every goodbye ain't gone

🥁

♥ 11:56am Uncle Michael:

Only in the canyons of my mind.

11:56am still b/p:

re Maysles -- I just noted yesterday that Grey Gardens is coming up on TCM this weekend, Sunday 10:00 AM.

🥁 ♥ 11:57am βrian:

"I'll stay in the helicopter while Jim wrestles the anaconda!"

🥁

♥ 11:57am Uncle Michael:

DSLRs use real lenses with real f-stops.

🥁

♥ 11:57am Brian in UK:

It was in the section labelled shirts.

♥ 11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Shrimp! ciao! fun!

🥁

♥ 11:58am Gary:

Thanks for another terrific show, Doug!

11:59am tr//sh:

So long. A nod to the visceral 'smell you laters'.

11:59am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

♥ 12:00pm listener james from westwood:

Loverly show, Doug! See ya in the next room!

🥁

♥ 12:00pm Alex In Illinois:

@Uncle Michael: Good, because I have been thinking of buying one soon, and would not buy one if it didn't.
@Doug: The average point-and-shoot digital camera usually does not have an F-stop control, but a DSLR is a Digital SRL, so it is a digital camera with F-stop control (and all of the other good stuff that SLRs have).

12:01pm adrian in mpls:

thanks Doug!!!
