Greetings all! Hello Sweden!

Wed. 7/9/08 9:05am From: JJZ

Oh, that animated gif is going to be really distracting.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:17am From: Parq

Ken, hearing that Cristina track again really took me back. Once more, I was standing out on the street, not getting let into Mudd.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:18am From: -max-

No milk in the fridge at work...going caffeine-free, and damn the consequences!

I'm not responsible!!

Wed. 7/9/08 9:18am From: Jeorg

Wed. 7/9/08 9:21am From: captain qweefheart

is it possable to create some sort of death ray with my microwave oven?

Wed. 7/9/08 9:21am From: apogee

at least they didn't try to re-create the "Two Virgins" allbum cover

Wed. 7/9/08 9:21am From: Ken

JJZ, I hope you appreciate that I took down the animated Banjo. For now...

Love this version of Germ Free Adolescents

Wed. 7/9/08 9:29am From: pollyWanna

F-kin great! Avianspek. I heard a piece using only the English portions of a foreign language learning tape, surreal

Wed. 7/9/08 9:29am From: Laurie

I think I'm most disturbed by this broad saying, "Where's the beef?"

Wed. 7/9/08 9:30am From: Negator

Evonne De Carlo sings on that new Fall song. I like it! Ken, play something off that new Sparks record since you have it. Thanks!

Wed. 7/9/08 9:30am From: Mark

Singer on Ive been duped is reportedly Eleni, the keyboard player who is also Mark E Smith's current wife

Wed. 7/9/08 9:30am From: Laurie

PS: Hi, Kenny!

Wed. 7/9/08 9:31am From: helpful

I think Vert is pronounced "vhere" (rhymes with where) - as in "green"

Wed. 7/9/08 9:35am From: JJZ

I do appreciate it. I wouldn't notice it as much if it weren't the first thing on the page.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:40am From: Swami

Awesome. Mad and Awesome.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:42am From: Mark

Oh boy, a new Me first and the Gimme Gimmes cd

Wed. 7/9/08 9:45am From: JJZ

I was hoping it was going to be a segment of covers of Hall and Oates.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:45am From: yesno

This song is the alternative-est.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:46am From: nEGATOR

The show today is ..................good.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:47am From: Bad Ronald

ENO - Nice!

Wed. 7/9/08 9:47am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Please god no, growing up there was a Hall and Oats 8-track in the deck way too often.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:47am From: Parq

Ah, one of my favorite Eno tracks. Perfect to accompany the last of my first cup of coffee.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:48am From: nEGATOR

You sound tired. I'm tired, too. How do you make it through a show?

Wed. 7/9/08 9:48am From: joint X

My bird is patiently waiting for her next phrase.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:48am From: Swami

This will be in my head all day now. I'm not complaining. There are worse things than this Eno to have rattling around, like Hall and Oates.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:48am From: nEGATOR

Go phil Collins!

Wed. 7/9/08 9:49am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Were any of you at the Sonic Youth show? How was it? There isn't an archive is there?

Wed. 7/9/08 9:50am From: Ghengis Jung

I was just starting to miss Larry. I'm glad he's here.

How about a Larry remix project?

Wed. 7/9/08 9:51am From: Ken

The Sonic Youth / Feelies show was great! We'
re waiting to get approval from the band before posting the archive.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:53am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

I'm really sorry I missed it. I'm waiting with baited ears for the archive.

Wed. 7/9/08 9:54am From: Vivian

What about the special WFMU/Sonic Youth t-shirts? Will they be available for purchase?

Wed. 7/9/08 9:55am From: Ken

No, we're not selling the few that we have left over. Sorry!

Wed. 7/9/08 9:55am From: sonic youth

i give you permission to post the archive (HA!)

Wed. 7/9/08 9:57am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

You want something besides money for the shirts?

Wed. 7/9/08 9:59am From: marina

ken please play some monty python in honnor of my b-day thanks ever soo much

Wed. 7/9/08 10:01am From: Hall and Oates

Wed. 7/9/08 10:08am From: north guinea hills

h00t! smallchange in effect!

Wed. 7/9/08 10:08am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

I usually bring cookies and coffee. Maybe if I offer to take out the trash?

Wed. 7/9/08 10:09am From: JJZ

That's the spirit.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:10am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Crap, he did play it! Sort of...

Wed. 7/9/08 10:10am From: Hall & Oates

That's more like it!

Wed. 7/9/08 10:11am From: Mark

I appreciate having my stupidity more accessible to others

Wed. 7/9/08 10:13am From: Ken

Go ahead - name a hit! Any hit!

Wed. 7/9/08 10:14am From: Mark

You light up my life

Wed. 7/9/08 10:14am From: Tom in Dublin

Eno chart doesn't include Roxy Music, Devo, or Talking Heads? How JV.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:16am From: Vivian

Afternoon Delight!

Wed. 7/9/08 10:16am From: Nooooo!!!

Wed. 7/9/08 10:17am From: Mark

Thank you this is helping to exorcise 30 year old memories

Wed. 7/9/08 10:18am From: nEGATOR

I'm strangely uncontrollably aroused. What sorcery is this?

Wed. 7/9/08 10:19am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

What the hell is the demographic of this group. You are all sounding a little old.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:19am From: tlacy

Finally, a chance to say, "Hey, I love you." You really do light up a lot of lifes [sic], Ken!

Wed. 7/9/08 10:20am From: Listener Dave

"Brandy" by Looking Glass

Wed. 7/9/08 10:27am From: Jeffersonic

Hi Ken! For years I've been curious about the identity and background of those two fellows, (who must be twins) in that first photo you posted. Any info? They look like they could be midwestern farm types...

Wed. 7/9/08 10:27am From: Randy in NC

Spiders and Snakes

Wed. 7/9/08 10:27am From: nEGATOR

oNLY WOMEN BLEED WOULD SOUND GOOD HERE

Alone Again, Naturally

Wed. 7/9/08 10:29am From: nEGATOR

You should mix "Only omen bleed" with having my baby sometime. I think that would work smashingly.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:30am From: Ghengis Jung

spirit in the sky

Wed. 7/9/08 10:30am From: nEGATOR

Only women bleed with Having my baby.

"Sundown"

Wed. 7/9/08 10:33am From: Zatumba

My medley of the hits has come to an end. Please save your requests until next week.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:33am From: Jeffersonic

"Sink The Bismark".

Wed. 7/9/08 10:34am From: Ghengis Jung

Bitchin' set, Zatumba. You really wrecked the decks.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:34am From: nEGATOR

Play some Loto Ball SHow. They kick ass. I saw them with Siver Apples last week.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:35am From: Jeffersonic

Sorry Zatumba, my brakes failed.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:39am From: nEGATOR

I have "mother nature's jewels" lady.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:46am From: fishmonkeystew

Hey Ken, after reviewing the six degrees of Brian Eno I was surprised not to see the Talking Heads listed (now I'm second guessing myself-gotta go back and look again). Any thoughts?

Wed. 7/9/08 10:47am From: Ken

Sounds like that Eno chart is in need of some updating!

Wed. 7/9/08 10:52am From: R. P.

Eno -> Phil Collins -> Anni-Frid Lyngstad -> ABBA

Wed. 7/9/08 10:53am From: Listener Dave

Hello Ken. Sometimes we all are in need of some updating. Do you ever feel like you need to be updated? I do. I've been feeling tired lately Ken. Do you get tired? I need to be updated. Need to.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:53am From: fishmonkeystew

hmmm, if I get time later I'll whip out the ol' photoshop and see what I can do to update it.

Wed. 7/9/08 10:56am From: C

what are these strings playing? it's driving me nuts!

Wed. 7/9/08 11:00am From: bb

sounds like germ free adolescence ...

Wed. 7/9/08 11:02am From: UE

Ken,
Van ronk DID mention Cheesequake, but he didn't mention my favorite town, which is, Ong's Hat.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:02am From: C

hmmm. i haven't heard of them. i must just be hearing things...

Wed. 7/9/08 11:02am From: vb

it's Blevin actually :)

Wed. 7/9/08 11:11am From: SueB

yes! Palance - i got this CD form FMU

Wed. 7/9/08 11:21am From: Laurie

Oh, I love the Pastels.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:25am From: Laurie

Ken! You're playing my favorites! Pop songs! Melodies!!

Wed. 7/9/08 11:25am From: yesno

Ha, I just came over to comment that it sounded like the Laurie listener hour.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:27am From: Vic Perry

Wow just tuned in and everything is so loverly....

hey, Eno-Frith-Residents

hey, isn't there an Eno-Plank-Can line?

Wed. 7/9/08 11:29am From: rhino

marvelous

Wed. 7/9/08 11:30am From: Laurie

yesno, it's going to happen, I swear it. Probably after my vacay to Ptchfork Fest.

Do you guys think I should shout "305" or something when Torche opens for Boris?

Wed. 7/9/08 11:30am From: Vic Perry

Hey, forget the respectable lines:

ENO-worked with Elvis Costello-played with Huey Lewis- HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS !

Wed. 7/9/08 11:33am From: SueB

was it Brothers Grimm?

Wed. 7/9/08 11:33am From: Laurie

Terry Gilliam's current project starred Heath Ledger. Yeah.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:34am From: atmanone

gilliam is working on that movie that had heath ledger, the imaginarium of doctor parnassus, or whatever

Wed. 7/9/08 11:34am From: Happy Listener

Terry's latest was Tideland, you might enjoy it.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:35am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Didn't you see Tideland with Jeff Bridges? He's working on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus right now. Terry Gilliam is a man truly cursed. If something can go wrong for him, it will.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:35am From: Philly Tom

I was baffled by Tidelands...but maybe I am not so smart

Wed. 7/9/08 11:36am From: Vic Perry

eno/produced devo/mark mothersbaugh/soundtrack to rushmore/with bill murray/in caddyshack/soundtrack song by: KENNY LOGGINS

Wed. 7/9/08 11:36am From: Laurie

I liked Tideland. That little girl was hecka creepy.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:36am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

I luved Tideland.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:37am From: cribley

'BAT COUNTRY!'

Wed. 7/9/08 11:41am From: Ken from Hyde Park

In the Poughkeepsie area this morning, the 90.1 signal was getting stepped on by the signal from WGCU. That turns out to be a station from Fort Myers, Florida. Is that possible? Some other stations, like 90.9, weren't coming in clearly, either. I'm listening on line at work now, so I'm in good shape again.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:41am From: weiterso

werneeeeerrrr!

Wed. 7/9/08 11:41am From: Laurie

Oh, Werner.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:42am From: JJZ

This song makes me laugh.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:42am From: Ghengis Jung

Is this you singing, Ken?

Wed. 7/9/08 11:44am From: black-n-yellow

Is Brown Whornet the same as Bill Cosby's superhero? Sounds like Kermit meets Barry White

Wed. 7/9/08 11:45am From: Listener Dave

So how is this show going for you guys? I think it's going well.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:45am From: listener jeremy

what the HELL was that?

Wed. 7/9/08 11:46am From: Listener Dave

Would it be possible to post the whole Larry thing as an mp3 for listener remixing purposes?

Wed. 7/9/08 11:47am From: monica

ken, you're the new king of disco sleaze. time to bust out the ethyl chloride rags!

Wed. 7/9/08 11:49am From: Ghengis Jung

Yes, I second Listener Dave!

Wed. 7/9/08 11:49am From: Ghengis Jung

The signal is strong!

Wed. 7/9/08 11:50am From: Parq

Pretty much the whole Sonic Youth set, shot from assorted audience vantage points, is on Youtube. Just run "Sonic Youth Battery" as a search term. Of course, if you do, you'll be stomping on FMU's IP rights. Oh the dilemmas of copylefties in business . . .

Wed. 7/9/08 11:53am From: Laurie

I was just wondering if this was the song about cocaine. Then I heard "granular lines of powdery white." QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED!

Wed. 7/9/08 11:55am From: Ike

Hyde Park, that sounds like FM tropo. That happens occasionally in the summer during the day, but rarely can the distant ("DX") stations blot out the locals. I bet the local radio geeks were going nuts.

Back around 1996, before the wonder of net radio, I picked up WFMU from Maryland, the land of horrible radio, for a few lovely minutes.

Wed. 7/9/08 11:56am From: Vivian

Where is Mr. Groovy?

Wed. 7/9/08 8:06pm From: mary

Hey Parq, I always got into Mudd.

Listener comments!
