Wed. 6/4/08 9:06am From: Swami

Oh Kenneth. Thanks for starting my morning of with such eurotrashy flava. For the love of crack, keep it up.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:07am From: swami

Scratch the "of". More espresso, thanks.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:08am From: cribley

Wed. 6/4/08 9:08am From: Ken

Hello all. Boy was Nachum pissed off at me this AM!

Wed. 6/4/08 9:09am From: JJZ

The clickiness of that picture is broken.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:09am From: Hillary Clinton

I will be making no decisions tonight.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:10am From: Ghengis Jung

Why was Nachum angry?

Wed. 6/4/08 9:10am From: Listener Dave

How pissed off was he?

I love Match Game.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:10am From: Negator

Ken, you should see me in hot pants relating to your vibe this morning. That'd piss you off, too. I what you call a fat "hairy bear".

Wed. 6/4/08 9:12am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Bryant did a great job on the Obama & Hillary pic, don't you think?

Wed. 6/4/08 9:12am From: cribley

Nachum is just bitter. Soon he'll turn to guns for comfort.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:12am From: Bad Ronald

better to be pissed off than pissed on unless well um...

Wed. 6/4/08 9:13am From: Laurie

Ha, I have a friend called DJ Hottpants. He doesn't wax his legs, no sir.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:15am From: Doug

I'm digging this lost Killing Joke outtake.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:16am From: slipsknot

priceless ken priceless

Wed. 6/4/08 9:23am From: andrew

Wed. 6/4/08 9:25am From: ?

you have sweden

Wed. 6/4/08 9:25am From: Parq

Um, which train whistle are you referring to, particularly?

Wed. 6/4/08 9:25am From: Bad Ronald

Hi Ken - The URL to the big hillary accordion is broken it should be:

Wed. 6/4/08 9:27am From: Negator

Dont Knock'em 'till you you try 'em!

Wed. 6/4/08 9:29am From: Laurie

Loving this Noonday Underground cut.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:31am From: Laurie

KEN!!! You're playing tunes... with MELODIES.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:32am From: Ken

I know Laurie - I can't get over melodies since Andy Breckman turned me on to them. I can't believe I had never heard of them before. Thanks Bad Ronald, fixed the bad link.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:33am From: Listener Dave from NH

Hey shorty, it's your birthday.
Gonna play the accordion like it's your birthday.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:37am From: Bad Ronald

NP Ken - I dig your show, thanks!

Wed. 6/4/08 9:37am From: Laurie

Hey, you spelled "birfday" wrong.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:38am From: jamesie

you probably see/heard this Hillary clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgtkz0VX4bo

Wed. 6/4/08 9:38am From: Laurie

Ha, I just got the Andy Votel "Music to Make Girls Cry" CD. It's a monster!

Wed. 6/4/08 9:45am From: cribley

So I was searching for accordion electronica and found:

http://www.myspace.com/gosegose

It's more like accordion house music, but still amusing.
The second to last track 'Eutsi' sounds like it features a bizzaro Neil Diamond.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:47am From: jtm

Im seeing lots of accordians but Im not hearing any.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:49am From: Bad Ronald

Will we see any more Melon Boys today?

Wed. 6/4/08 9:51am From: Vivian

Is that Mink Stole telling me she will not shut her mouth anymore about Hillary?

Wed. 6/4/08 9:51am From: PD

Slipknot needs some water sprayed on her.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:53am From: Doug

I'm hoping Ken got my listening station photo last week.

Wed. 6/4/08 9:54am From: C

She was a second class citizen before, now she's nothing?? What is she talking about? She's on FMU. She made it!

Wed. 6/4/08 9:54am From: Wes

Slipknot probably needs a shower and a shave

Wed. 6/4/08 9:55am From: Negator

Are Madonna and Hillary the same person. Is she like Batman or somethin'?

Wed. 6/4/08 9:57am From: Sss

Sounds like a bad salad. You know there's better.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:00am From: Negator

Play the Hagan! Play the Hagan!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:01am From: Vivian

Notice that Hillary and Madonna are never in the same room together at the same time?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:01am From: Negator

Ich Weiss Es Wird Einmal Ein Wunder Geschehn Nina Hagan covered this I love it!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:03am From: Laurie

Is this that Kraut rock I've been hearing about?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:04am From: Bad Ronald

Slipknot needs a spanking an exorcism and then another spanking.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:05am From: Ken

Most definitely NOT Krautrock! It was Schlager, if anything. I defer to our Teutonic friends to help me ID it precisely.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:06am From: Parq

Ken, you're really giving the last remaining shreds of my high school German a work-out today.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:11am From: Laurie

A black male speech?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:12am From: Raj

HAVE YOU SEEN HER, G*DDAMMIT!!!!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:13am From: jonathan

ah! you're nice and insane this morn. and rightly so.
thank you.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:13am From: Laurie fan

Ha!!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:13am From: ted

It just amazes me that some Clinton supporters say they are not going to vote for the pro-choice candidate.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:13am From: PD

Oh please, someone put Hillary's face on Slipknot....

Wed. 6/4/08 10:14am From: ted

Just doesn't sound rational.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:15am From: Raj

Hillary and Melonboy has done wrong in raising young Slipknot...

Wed. 6/4/08 10:17am From: Laurie

Is this that gangsta rap I've been hearing about?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:18am From: Bad Ronald

Maggots!!!!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:20am From: ?

Clintons = MscBeth

Wed. 6/4/08 10:20am From: Laurie

I approve this J. Lo cover!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:20am From: Bad Ronald

"I love that mountain with those four big heads
I love Velveeta slapped on Wonder Bread

MacBeth

Wed. 6/4/08 10:24am From: Laurie

This is my favorite song about the Diet of Worms.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:27am From: PD

I want to hear Andy sing Spiders and Snakes.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:27am From: GUMBY

A Jim Stafford airing, Wha-hoo!!!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:31am From: jonathan

disco kiss. do you remember what you felt like when this first came out? CHEATED! maybe it was just me.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:32am From: Raj

Better than Feist covering BeeGees!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:33am From: billyjam

Morning Ken, great images on Playlist today. Wot up Bad Ronald. Thanks for always rushing to WFMU's rescue with tech tips on image placement on playlists.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:33am From: Listener Eric

Hurrah for the release of the Steinski retrospective! This has been bringing me much joy! Anyone know about the legal state of the samples? I assume they didn't all get cleared -- is the label girding for a fair-use battle against the forces of evil?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:35am From: alan

great selection of tracks, Ken, but they seem to be picking up some inerference over the Atlantic - lots of grunts and stuff. Is there anything we can do about it?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:35am From: Laurie

Who's the harridan whining about our next president, Obama?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:35am From: dei xhrist

signing in late. sorry, getting my morning kicks watching Venture Brothers.

Wed. 6/4/08 10:36am From: Bad Ronald

Hey billyjam no prob - my pleasure I love you guys, can't wait for your show this Fri...

Wed. 6/4/08 10:38am From: ted

That women needs to give a sermon at the Trinity United Church of Christ

Wed. 6/4/08 10:38am From: BillyJam

Alan: re Steinski samples' legality: I recently interviewed him about this new collection and asked him this very quesiton and this was his response: " Well, the legality of most of the pieces has always been problematic, obviously. Illegal art is generously taking a chance at reissuing them in such a luxurious package. It means that for a limited time this material will be somewhat available."

Wed. 6/4/08 10:39am From: Laurie

ha ha, DO IT LIVE!!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:39am From: Harriet Christian

Sorry about that meltdown. I'm back in the city now, streaming WFMU ... not really gonna vote Mccain - that was just a psych ya out. Lemme know if any of the gang wants to meet up for some long island ice teas!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:42am From: Harriet Christian

Guys. c'mon, it's me! What did I do???????

Wed. 6/4/08 10:42am From: Raj

DINER... One of my favorites.

'd rather delude myself into this Baltimore SOM, Mr. Wire!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:44am From: Bad Ronald

Angry Baby is priceless!!!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:45am From: Listener Eric

My name is Harriet Christian and when I smoke a cigarette I have to ligt two; one for myself and one for the 'wizard sleeve'!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:49am From: Bad Ronald

Hah, the "Wizard Sleeve"!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:50am From: Richard

Hi Ken did you make it to Wire on Friday? What did you think. Not enough old material for a conservative like me, but still great energy!

Wed. 6/4/08 10:54am From: Ken

No, alas, I didn't make it to Wire. I headed back to the woods and saw my first bear of the summer. How was Wire? Anybody else go? Billy?

Wed. 6/4/08 10:59am From: dei x

oh that's right, Ken is outside now. Wire must have been playing indoors. Now did anyone point out that if you're outside, you can build an inside, but the reverse is not possible? And who's gonna stop you?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:00am From: J.McMahon

can someone please tell me who the hell is saying 'groovy very groovy, groovy scene' every week its driving me all batty, is it Bill Murray?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:01am From: Harriet C

I've had enough of this goddamn shit! I live on the Upper East where I've been a 2nd class citizen my whole life! FMU was always different .. until now! I'm done - you hear???? No more mousy pledges! No more manning your damn phones for Yo Lo Tangy - done, you hear??? I am through with you!!!!!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:01am From: richard

well there plenty of FMU T shirts to be seen at the Wire gig, Margaret Fiedler was on guitar and seemed to be having some tech issues, but when they all opened up they blew away the imitators!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:04am From: jonathan

wire. so fucking great. just please don't use a bass with no headstock. was he sporting that?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:04am From: Ken

I also need to know who is doing all the groovies! I found an MP3 in the MP3 pit here, wiped off the sludge but the incsription is unr3aadable.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:06am From: ?

Groovies... It is possibly the character Herbie in the film I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! (1968).
Played by David Arkin.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:07am From: JMcMahon Esq.

you dont know, Ken doesn't know? Ken doesn't know but continues to play it. Thats cheap, thats a punk move. No more grooviness until someone names that voice.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:07am From: cribley

Sgt. Stedenko?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:14am From: anne

morning everyone, morning Ken, awesome that you saw a bear. where was that?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:14am From: GUMBY

Is that Groovy from the movie "Joe"? where Peter Boyle accidentally kills the other guys hippie daughter?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:16am From: Listener Dave

OK, where's the "naked pics of your ex" note from?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:16am From: Swami

Uncle Hulka?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:17am From: PLMGNY

thanks for the warm leatherettes, the day is tolerable now.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:20am From: Miqel

i'll bet the note is from FOUND Magazine, a cool collection of funny or strange notes found by people and submitted http://www.foundmagazine.com/

Wed. 6/4/08 11:21am From: Bad Ronald

Ahhh MelonBoy at last!!! - TX

Wed. 6/4/08 11:23am From: Cecile

Ken, could you post a cute picture of a Scottie Dog? I'm in a grouchy mood that only one of those bearded old man dogs can cure.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:23am From: BillyJam

re WIRE - yeah myself and several others from FMU were at the free outdoor show at South St. Seaport (Fabio, Brian Turner, Liz B also present) - and I thought it was great getting to hear them cover a wide range of material including some of the classics from 30 years ago. A part of the River to River Festival, which also includes the upcoming WFMU -sponsored Sonic Youth (see details on this site as you need to arrange tix before even tho free) it is one of ther reasons why NYC is a great place to be in the summer - non-stop free shit. Also part of same fest last weekend was Bang On A Can - which I checked out too...pretty good but a bit too sedate/sit-down/refined for my liking - but still good.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:24am From: anne

and such fine penmanship for an (understandably) angry note. such control over emotion...

Wed. 6/4/08 11:24am From: Swami

Awesome

Wed. 6/4/08 11:28am From: Ghengis Jung

I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:28am From: xangoir

My guess is the "very very very groovy scene" is from "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!". I just saw this film a couple weeks ago.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:28am From: dlroth

killyjams - leave babylon

MORE NETWORK PLEASE!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:29am From: Raj

Feel like backtracking my copy of "The Trip" (Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern...) I don't know, that's my guess....

Wed. 6/4/08 11:30am From: Cecile

MORE SCOTTIE DOGS!

billyjam I think it's 4:20 in Indonesia now. ;D

Wed. 6/4/08 11:30am From: bwalker

I pretended to be a hill fan and I begged her to 'take over the Senate'

We need you I shouted - The idea of her sticking around as VP kills me

Wed. 6/4/08 11:30am From: barry

NO way I could ever vote for Obama...

Wed. 6/4/08 11:30am From: cribley

I put I Love You, Alice B. Toklas at the top of my Netflix queue. I'll let you know.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:31am From: xangoir

The Trip and maybe Midnight Cowboy... I know I've heard it recently...

Wed. 6/4/08 11:31am From: Wes

Not really sure there is any way I could ever vote again. I think I'll just go to the polls to observe people and hand out stuff. Anyone need a Bones vs Bones 2004 T shirt?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:31am From: jonathan

watch alice b. and the magic christian back to back.
then get a hot doggie.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:32am From: Ghengis Jung

it is I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! after the brownies

Wed. 6/4/08 11:32am From: Dictater

I dont know what time it is Indonesia but I can tell you it is exactly 10:33 as I write this is Thailand.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:33am From: dlroth

hit us with a remix of FLIPPER / HARRIET/NETWORK

Wed. 6/4/08 11:34am From: Bad Ronald

I love the poll scene in Magic Christian!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:34am From: HotRod

Aww, I'm blushing. Teehee.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:35am From: abresnick

Ken-- I followed your ordures and went to Hill Clint's site to tell her to bugger off home, and found that even sending a message means one lists oneself as a supporter. Typical Clinton cynicism. So I say don't go to the site unless you want to be one of the ostensible 18 million....

Wed. 6/4/08 11:36am From: dlroth

killyjams and sweken should do a power hour!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:36am From: Parq

Photo of HP in her mask to accompany the accu-PL slot for this number?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:36am From: jonathan

what we need here is a little common zen savvy.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:37am From: Bad Ronald

Nice work HotRod!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:37am From: Megan

This is awesome, HotRod!!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:37am From: dc pat

this is just too good.. did somebody remix it?

Wed. 6/4/08 11:41am From: Parq

Yeah. that one's even better.

Wed. 6/4/08 11:53am From: HotRod

Thanks for the compliments, guys!

Wed. 6/4/08 11:57am From: dlroth

Wed. 6/4/08 4:42pm From: fatty jubbo
