Wed. 7/16/08 9:05am From: Doug

I just saw Wire on the Box 1979 for the first time yesterday and my life was changed.

Wed. 7/16/08 9:05am From: Mark

That must be it

Wed. 7/16/08 9:06am From: Ken

Hi all. I am happy to report that we will be playing no Rush this morning. Although I hear that Geddy was awesome the other night at Jones Beach.

Wed. 7/16/08 9:07am From: swami

About the pic: I never realized that David Byrne and Tracy Lords worked together.

Wed. 7/16/08 9:10am From: John from Oslo

Wed. 7/16/08 9:12am From: Ken

Quite a little challenge you set for me there John! I think I could maybe fit in some Van Halen... or at least David Lee Roth. But save your songs for when we play "name a hit" in a little while.

Wed. 7/16/08 9:13am From: Lizardner Dave

That is disappointing to the reptile community. I suggest you be particularly aware of snakes on your next visit to the woods Ken. We wouldn't want anything to happen to you out there

Wed. 7/16/08 9:16am From: dei x

the fluffy bunnies and lil' squirrels will keep the snakes in check.

Wed. 7/16/08 9:17am From: cheri

Wed. 7/16/08 9:18am From: dl roth

You have meddeled with forces of sweden Mr. Ken and you must play in honor of a Rush free morning- Thundermug, White Flame, Bob Seger System, Death and of course Fort Mudge Memorial Dump and dont forget Thunder Mother (thanks crotchbat) - no I have to go back to television!

Wed. 7/16/08 9:38am From: Dan

Wed. 7/16/08 9:44am From: Blue Sausage Infant

Wed. 7/16/08 9:44am From: miss buxley

Wed. 7/16/08 9:50am From: molerat

Whoah. What's the source of that b&w animation next to the Godfathers track on the playlist?

Wed. 7/16/08 9:53am From: jeff

>7/16/69, Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Kennedy, Fla., on the first manned mission to the surface of the moon.

expecting huge space rock set mixed w/ apollo 11 transmissions!

Wed. 7/16/08 9:55am From: Ken

Anybody got skype out there? Try me at wfmu.mainstudio

Wed. 7/16/08 9:59am From: dei x

does anyone have a copy of the Chinese public restroom etiquette sign? I'm inspired to do create a similar animation on its principles. (Not that I will follow through.)

Wed. 7/16/08 10:00am From: andy in Berlin

Hi Ken,

I just tried skyping you but all I could hear was the music.

Wed. 7/16/08 10:01am From: Ike

When I went to (western) China, I was disappointed that I didn't see more signs like that Shanghai one. That's a riot. Some investigation reveals that "virescence" means plants, but what the frak does "don't random through street" mean?!

http://tinyurl.com/5o2zkd

Wed. 7/16/08 10:02am From: dei x

vi·res·cence –noun, Botany. State of becoming somewhat, though usually not totally, green, due to the abnormal presence of chlorophyll. I guess we really have to see the sign in context?

Wed. 7/16/08 10:02am From: Ken

Andy, let's try that again when I go on mic!

Wed. 7/16/08 10:02am From: nic

"don't random" = wander...??

Wed. 7/16/08 10:04am From: bw

this sounds AMAZING!!!

Wed. 7/16/08 10:06am From: JJZ

soooaaakkkk

Wed. 7/16/08 10:09am From: dei x

listen to Ken, lying about his age...
JJZ, so that's what was going on with Sabrina...and Maria, engrish.com

Wed. 7/16/08 10:16am From: Jim

I was just laughing out loud in my office at the "50 year old man...what you gonna do about it?" line from The Fall (Mark E). I like the Fall stuff - not even in a funny way...but....

Wed. 7/16/08 10:16am From: Andy in Berlin

Hey, Great talking to you - as sloppy as it was. Someone was trying to call me up on the phone at the same time. Should I apologize for making the obvious no-brainer request? NO! Can never get enough of the Fall, you know.

Wed. 7/16/08 10:17am From: Ken

Any other skype users, call me at wfmu.mainstudio and you can be the DJ the next set break,

Wed. 7/16/08 10:19am From: cheri

i know i'm late for this comment but i could relate to sabrina cause i'm just like her,,,,i need love & men!!!

Wed. 7/16/08 10:21am From: Ken

Cheri - As long as you're in character, it's still one post per show por favor.

Wed. 7/16/08 10:21am From: Andy in Berlin

Gee, Ken it looks like you're about to open up a black box here. Glad to have been there to help you throw the bolt.

Wed. 7/16/08 10:27am From: maria

hah! I thought that was a Fall parody.. it was wasnt it?

Wed. 7/16/08 10:31am From: hjmaiere

There's also "Olivia Neutron Bomb." I like the tune Alie(N)ation, but it might be a little contemplative for a Wednesday morning.

Wed. 7/16/08 10:35am From: JJZ

Ken should do a radio play. He does voices, dramatic readings...

Wed. 7/16/08 10:36am From: innocent listener

yer makin my stummick hurt

Wed. 7/16/08 10:37am From: BW

don't forget the IPHONE lines

just rode past the one on prince street! estimated wait time 5 hours

Wed. 7/16/08 10:39am From: Lizardner Dave

I've passed the iPhone lines for a week now and gotten a good hearty laugh every time. Apple geeks are like NASCAR fans who only root for Fords over Chevys or whatever. Except NASCAR fans woudln't stand in line for two days waiting for the next Silverado.

Wed. 7/16/08 10:44am From: JJZ

Maybe they're looking to turn it around on ebay?

Wed. 7/16/08 10:47am From: John from Oslo

Ah, Dusan Makajev's Sweet Movie ( the girl with the knife, and the guy covered in sugar)

Wed. 7/16/08 10:48am From: John from Oslo

or I might me wrong...

Wed. 7/16/08 10:48am From: Ken

Yay John!! You're the first one to name one of the films! Isn;t Sweet Movie great? I havent seen it in like 30 years though. Gotta put it in the queue.

Wed. 7/16/08 10:50am From: John from Oslo

... and Montenegro by Makajev is also a scream - remember that remote controlled toy tank...

Wed. 7/16/08 10:52am From: james coburn

groovy baby

Wed. 7/16/08 10:53am From: north guinea hills

makajev's "sweet movie" is one of my all time favorites!

Wed. 7/16/08 10:56am From: John from Oslo

oh, is it a name that film thing, well the one above is Bergman's "Det sjuande inseglet" - and above that hmmm metropolis?! and the one above that... is it the Fountainhead, Ayn Rand?! - oh, I'm guessing here...

Wed. 7/16/08 10:58am From: north guinea hills

whoops, it's spelled, Dušan Makavejev, my bad!

Wed. 7/16/08 10:59am From: north guinea hills

ok, the comment page doesn't like slavic accents and the ilk.....

Wed. 7/16/08 11:02am From: Tom

Please someone tell me the source of the "groovy baby" sound clip. It is stuck in my skull and will never come out unless I learn more.

Wed. 7/16/08 11:02am From: Blue Sausage Infant

I wanna be dancing horse-head man when i grow up.

Wed. 7/16/08 11:23am From: Lizardner Dave

Hello Ken. I noticed last week's programme still doesn't have a title. Are you having problems coming up with titles? I'm sure people here on the accu-comment-playlist-9000 could help with some titles.

Wed. 7/16/08 11:26am From: Mark

Wed. 7/16/08 11:28am From: Hank Sr
