Wed. 9/12/07 9:45am
Ken:
I've got a few more September Songs but I didn't find any really outstanding ones like last week's James Brown and Lee Hazelwood versions.. But I will play a few more and look for more *really* good ones for next week.
Wed. 9/12/07 9:50am
Ken:

it's time for radio chat room!
Wed. 9/12/07 10:02am
Sarah:
What's radio chat room?
Wed. 9/12/07 10:03am
Vivian:
Hurray! More Baloney Lady!
Wed. 9/12/07 10:07am
Wes:
Hey Ken! I'm retreating to the corner of my office to listen to this Zebra Trucks, which is taking me to the world of Napolean Dynamite, for what it's worth. A strange world where not much happens, and not much matters. Tis good for a while, I suppose. Soothing in a doomed way.
Wed. 9/12/07 10:07am
JJZ:
Not even some automated Andy?
Wed. 9/12/07 10:09am
Ken:
You were supposed to call in during Zebra Trucks! That's what radio chat room was.. that song comes on and the phone lines are open. Oh well....
Wed. 9/12/07 10:13am
Vivian:
Ken, back during the last Marathon drive, you played snippets from what I imagined to be a leader speaking during labor union meeting. I remember 'We're not bad, we're just nice guys'. Does this ring a bell? Where did you get the audio?
Wed. 9/12/07 10:19am
ken in denver:
So what's up with the Christmas music for Rosh Hashanah?
Wed. 9/12/07 10:25am
Hendrik:
Ken sounds like that singer from the scorpions when he transforms his voice
Wed. 9/12/07 10:25am
Wes:
Ken, three or four shots of ice cold Jager and you'll be feelin' fine. Cures anything except hiccups.
Wed. 9/12/07 10:29am
jeremiah:
hey ken. who's that overly defensive guy you play behind songs sometimes? 'colored people? gotta love em.'
Wed. 9/12/07 10:31am
Ken:
Jeremiah and Vivian - the overly defensive union leader / canadian performance artist who loves redwoods, colored people and whales is none other than the Nihilist Spasm Band.
Wed. 9/12/07 10:37am
Trish:
"It's not my fault!!"
Wed. 9/12/07 10:40am
Vicki:
Lots of Nihilist Spasm Band here - http://www3.sympatico.ca/pratten/NSB/
Wed. 9/12/07 10:43am
Ken:
Speaking of which, there's a new Nihilist Spasm Band LP out... must.. stand... up.... go... to... library...... getting dark.....
Wed. 9/12/07 10:46am
helpful:
Here's a taster of NSB - http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/2007/02/nihilist-spasm-band-no.html
Wed. 9/12/07 10:52am
jeremiah:
'maybe some times we went to far, but now we won't!'
Wed. 9/12/07 10:52am
Vivian:
Ken! That's it! Decent fellows! We won't go too far!
Wed. 9/12/07 10:54am
Wes:
Speaking of Dinosaur L.....Polmo Polpo's remix/rework of "Kiss me again and again.." is an excellent piece of work! I'd like to hear that sometime.
Wed. 9/12/07 10:54am
jeremiah:
'too far' i meant. i hate it when people do that.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:01am
Listener Dave from NH:
Glad to see that I'm not the only Polmo Polpo nerd that listens to Ken's show.
Any chance of getting a repeat of James Brown's "September Song"? That was a BEAST.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:22am
jeremiah:
the sixteens!!! these are my friends from oakland! weird to hear them on jersey radio.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:24am
pat:
you gotta follow OOIOO up w/ Afrirampo
Wed. 9/12/07 11:27am
Mickey Mephistopheles:
That and a recording of a Radical Cheerleaders group.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:29am
Listener Dave:
Is this an out of body radio experience yet?
Wed. 9/12/07 11:31am
jeremiah:
the sixteens were in berlin for a while too.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:35am
Wes:
Marshall Tucker Band! Holy crud...I think I'm listening to my local commercial "classic rock" station or sumthin'....be right back after this message from pfizer and e-harmony.com! Just kidding, Toy Caldwell was a talented fella.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:37am
The Framinator:
sheepishly admits to really enjoying the Marshall Tucker Band
Wed. 9/12/07 11:37am
Mickey Mephistopheles, again:
Has the Marshall Tucker Band barrier been broken yet? If not, it has been now.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:39am
Ken:
Credit where credit is due: John Allen broke the Marshall Tucker barrier a few years ago.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:39am
amanda:
Don't know that I'd make a habit of it, but any time you want to fire up the Marshall Tucker is ok by me.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:42am
Kenzo:
Framinator: I was just starting to worry about you!
Wed. 9/12/07 11:54am
Ken:
Thanks for your comments everybody.
Truly, we are in the utopian period of the playlist comments section. No trolls, cranksm perverts or sock puppets have shown up yet. I'm enjoying this while it lasts.
Wed. 9/12/07 11:56am
Vivian:
I'm enjoying Exhausted Island Machine. With the exception of Marshall Tucker, excellent show today considering your lack-of sleep state.
Wed. 9/12/07 12:00pm
Mickey Mephistopheles:
One vote for radio chatroom
Wed. 9/12/07 8:07pm
Wiki Weenie:
So little is known of this Ken Fellow - Perhaps the listeners here will fill us in .. . .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Freedma
Thu. 9/13/07 11:38am
Michael:

Thu. 9/13/07 1:50pm
Kenzo:
Michael: It loves you right back.
Thu. 9/13/07 9:39pm
Duckhugger:
Ken, where does one go about finding Kahondo Style? I've been searching around online and can't find music by them anywhere. Any chance of putting some of that up on the WFMU Blog?
