Just starting in on my second lobster of the evening. Purchased from a boat that is floating about 200 yards from our house. Lovely soundtrack, Mr Sullivan! | |

Oh, man -- my only experience of eating lobster in Maine was on a very chilly wet April day on the coast -- fun, but not exactly relaxing ... hi, Doug! Happy vacationing to you and yours! | |

Now when I call call attendance and you say "present," it'll have even more meaning, Hyde! | |

Doug Schulkind:
The sun is escaping and it's quite cool now. But the 30-40 lobster boats that are bobbing in the nearby water are all still catching the light, emanating warmth. That and the streaming corn. | |

I meant steaming corn of course. You can take the boy out of the stream, but you can't the stream out of the boy. | |

@melinda agreed | |
Wed. 7/26/17 8:24pm
tim abdellah:
WTF!? This is the melody from Warda's glorious hit "Batwanes Beek". But this is Hasni singing Algerian rai lyrics over the melody, apparently. Whoa. | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 8:24pm
Gary:
Glad you guys are enjoying this stuff -- this is pretty much the music that changed my mind about ... everything | |

Wed. 7/26/17 8:25pm
Gary:
Whaaaa ? Tim, can you find a YouTube vid or other audio for me check out after the show? | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 8:29pm
Gary:
Never mind, I found it: www.youtube.com... | |
Wed. 7/26/17 8:30pm

www.youtube.com... One of my favorite pieces of music ever recorded. | |

Gary:
Thanks, Tim! | |
Wed. 7/26/17 8:40pm
tim abdellah:
1) God I love this early Khaled!! 2) Yeah I have that Ouled Bouazzaoui on cassette. Good stuff. 3) It's worth listening to the full 13 minute version of "Batwanes Beek". The first YouTube link looks like an edit. The opening instrumental prelude is so lovely. play.anghami.com... | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 8:41pm
Gary:
Will definitely give that a listen after the show | |
Wed. 7/26/17 8:42pm

Hey Gary, Checking in for a few minutes. How goes it? Please send your new address....... | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 8:42pm
Gary:
Tim, do you need this whole early Khaled album DropBoxed to you? | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 8:43pm
Gary:
Hi, Mom! So nice to see you! I owe you a call -- will try you tomorrow ... and of course will send address | |

she's probably not mad, just disappointed | |
Wed. 7/26/17 8:55pm

Gary - Thanks - I actually grabbed that Khaled off BodegaPop a while back. And stumbled on a $4 copy of this at Amoeba in Berkeley a few months ago. I believe it's the same collection of songs: www.allmusic.com... | |

@tim four bucks looks like a steal for that | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 8:57pm
Gary:
Oh, nice! They translated the titles into French, looks like :) | |
Wed. 7/26/17 8:57pm
Jill B,:
I have learned that one just needs to be patient. Why get mad or be disappointed about something you have no control over. All will be well in the end. | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 9:00pm
Gary:
I'll call tomorrow! | |
Wed. 7/26/17 9:02pm

Tim, the Moroccans share something with the French -- they like to build these big long words that are just one or two syllables | |

Wed. 7/26/17 9:27pm

Somewhere, printed out, I have a full list of known Oum Kalthoum recordings, listing dates of either performance or publication and composer and lyricist ... but I moved (cf. Mom's comments above) and I am not sure where it wound up | |

hyde:
@Gary nice work | |
Wed. 7/26/17 9:43pm
tim abdellah:
Good sleuthing! I poked around online but wasn't able to find it. BTW, you know "Oum" means "Mother" in Arabic, right? Great if your Mom is still listening! | |
♥
Wed. 7/26/17 9:45pm
Gary:
Wow, languages like "Mm" "oo" or "oh" or "ah" sounds for mom ... mom is amma in Hindi | |
