Wed. 6/24/09 9:04am From: dei x

oh, the memories of dancing in the garage to a jukebox playing funky town... in English unfortunately. And no, that's not a crazy euphemism for anything. But it should be. AIG GAVE ME DISCO!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:04am From: Cecile

now you must play KC and the Sunshine Band as penance.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:05am From: Cecile

I love the TK sound

Wed. 6/24/09 9:05am From: Ken

Cecile, I love you but one monkey dont stop no show.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:06am From: annie

Wed. 6/24/09 9:06am From: Cecile

Wed. 6/24/09 9:07am From: Janet H

Wed. 6/24/09 9:16am From: Janet H

Next Wednesday will be my last time coming here and waking up with Ken's Show....b/c starting July 1 I'll be working on Wednesday mornings......this is very bad news....

Wed. 6/24/09 9:18am From: annie

bummer janet, a live set is much better. thanks for archives, though.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:18am From: Janet H

I mean starting July 8...

Wed. 6/24/09 9:18am From: Vicki

Morning Ken - lovely sunny day in London - just moved my computers into the garden to work. Looking forward to returning to the air tonight, hurray

Wed. 6/24/09 9:19am From: dei x

Janet, can you set up some sort of random commenter 'bot so that we can feel your presence in your absence?

Wed. 6/24/09 9:19am From: Seamus

When it gets hot in Sagnasty, guns start going off and crime sweeps the streets. I must camp out at home to stay safe for the next 2 or 3 weeks. Thanks Ken and WFMU for giving me safety and pleasure for the next month.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:19am From: Janet H

live is always better.....i'm so sad!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:20am From: Cecile

Kenny G. broke my heart.
I don't care about him any more.
And I loved Maria's moon show

Wed. 6/24/09 9:22am From: Janet H

dei x, that's an idea...

Wed. 6/24/09 9:25am From: Janet H

so i'm bummed out b/c the short time i've been coming here....well it's been great fun!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:26am From: Ken

Janet, get your priorities straight!!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:28am From: PMD

Mornin' all - I've already missed so much! Ken, thanks for the lovely lovely photos so far. I've learned I shouldn't wear a hat and drinking tea/coffee makes you smile.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:28am From: Ken

Vicki - I think i foubnd a board op for you and he might even be a Brit!!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:29am From: Ken

Dave, you are ruining the integrity of the comments column and it shall not stand.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:29am From: Janet H

Ken, I know it's hard to choose....havin' a job or Ken's show...it's a tough decision!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:30am From: Cecile

Ken, I think "Be Nice to the People" by Question Mark is my musical request today.
A shout out to the dickhead running Iran.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:31am From: Ken

I know it's tough Janet. But I trust that you will come to your senses and make the right and decent decision.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:31am From: Cecile

I mean a plea

Wed. 6/24/09 9:32am From: annie

has anyone seen that funny dubbed youtube bit "translating" what ahmedinejhad is saying in a speech?

Wed. 6/24/09 9:32am From: Janet H

Hopely I'll be back here after labor day...

Wed. 6/24/09 9:33am From: Freddy: Formerly of West Orange Plumbing Supply

Hey Ken, Hey everyone

Wed. 6/24/09 9:35am From: Janet H

Wed. 6/24/09 9:36am From: Ghengis Jung

O Yoko

Wed. 6/24/09 9:36am From: dei x

no, the message is positive on hats. It will encourage lace breasted women to put their tentacles all over it and, by extension, you

Wed. 6/24/09 9:37am From: Negator

I bet Osama sheik his booty to that Malik Shaft!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:40am From: Janet H

I'll tell my boss I can't work from 8-11am central time b/c i have to listen to a very important radio show...i think my my boss will be very understanding.....

Wed. 6/24/09 9:40am From: Vicki

You have other Brits at the station in a cupboard?

Wed. 6/24/09 9:41am From: Janet H

only on wednesdays of course!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:41am From: PMD

Janet, suggest that it be piped to the entire room/office building! Highly motivation building.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:42am From: annie

are you willing to listen without the comments? cause you could find earbuds and use winamp...no glaring websites..

Wed. 6/24/09 9:43am From: Lizardner Dave

Ken, I always was an outside the box thinker. Ha! What a zingerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:45am From: annie

wow, i had no idea this was gonna be a regularly played tune.. i love this!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:46am From: trissh

I'm usually more productive the mornings I listen. It's unusual when I'm not and typically unradio related. If some sound happens to get in the way, I just turn it down for a bit.

Dave, isn't it 'zingger' like 'finger'

Wed. 6/24/09 9:46am From: trissh

Wed. 6/24/09 9:50am From: PMD

Interesting choice of band name. I can't decide if it's good or bad to have a name that you have to say every letter.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:51am From: annie

parq, the coffee is just done! here, have some! nice and strong

Wed. 6/24/09 9:51am From: PMD

Ken, how about one of those garden orbs?

Wed. 6/24/09 9:52am From: Parq

Dial-up users are dial-up losers. Neener.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:53am From: Sven

Real Player is corporate crap.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:54am From: Janet H

what do i need so i can listen to it on my cellphone?

Wed. 6/24/09 9:54am From: BSI

Why has it taken me THIS FRIGGIN' LONG to tune in?
Why, Ken, why?!?!?

Wed. 6/24/09 9:55am From: Bender Bending Rodriguez

Well forget you guys, I'm gonna go make my OWN archives, with BLACKJACK and HOOKERS. In fact, forget the archives!

Wed. 6/24/09 9:55am From: Janet H

Ken, my photoshop is opening up....

Wed. 6/24/09 9:56am From: David

Oh gawd I'm runnin

Wed. 6/24/09 9:56am From: Ken

Janet - You can get FMU on most celphones - iPhones, Treos, but not Blackberries. Works really well on the iPhone. Get the free public radio app.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:57am From: doug from dc

FMU comes in great using WunderRadio on the iPhone.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:58am From: sloane

Ok. So next year, I'll just use the money I could donate to WFMU and use it to upgrade to high-speed internet. Thanks for helping me get my priorities straight.

Wed. 6/24/09 9:58am From: Ken

Yay Janet!!! Are you Achmedinajadding me i hope i hope!!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:01am From: Ken

You're welcome Sloane. And thank YOU for dragging your sorry ass into 1998.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:03am From: Jim

If you install the version 3.0 iPhone software, you can listen to WFMU's mp3 streams just by clicking on their links on the homepage.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:04am From: ribby dibby doo

we're always listening, WFMU. and we're praying for you and all your listeners.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:20am From: Listener

Leave me out of your prayers, k? Don't strain yourselves.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:22am From: My mom

We should have a constitutional amendment saying people can't crowd the laundry room when I need it.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:22am From: wepledge.com

urgh! "pray, pray", uhgn! "pray, strain, pray" grunt!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:23am From: Janet H

Wed. 6/24/09 10:27am From: annie

i was sending a friend some links to jimmy dale gilmore, et al. that picture for baby animal is pretty gruesome yet humourous in a weird way.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:28am From: Ken

Wow Janet, thank you!!! I've always wanted to be an Orb-Adorned Holocaust-Denying Despot! You've made my dreams come true!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:32am From: Janet H

Wed. 6/24/09 10:40am From: Carmichael

Hay Zeus Alou. I've been trying since last Friday to get back to this music and you wonderful happening people. Furloughs, layoffs, fiscal year end, and then a virus that crashed my computer. The IT turtles couldn't get to it because they were in the middle of picking their noses.

I need some tea. Be right back. Sorry I yelled.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:41am From: -max-

Damn "A" train...went local and then dumped us off at 96th Street. Crosstown bus to the "3" train, and I'm finally here. Did someone leave some coffee on the stove? My cup is empty...

c(___)

Wed. 6/24/09 10:41am From: Laurie

Hi Ken!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:42am From: annie

carm totally understandable. cold turkey is not fun

Wed. 6/24/09 10:43am From: Laurie

Diego Luna. That name will never leave my brain, after seeing WIll Ferrell's "You're Welcome America."

Wed. 6/24/09 10:45am From: forked tongue

Ken, aren't you going to do a little set of Appalachian folk music and Argentinian tango in honor of Governor Mark Sanford?

Wed. 6/24/09 10:45am From: Cecile

Oh, Laurie, that was hilarious.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:45am From: Mac

Wed. 6/24/09 10:46am From: BSI

AIEEE! We gets our Fabio back!

I will miss Diane so much, the metal!, but FABIO!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:47am From: Cecile

Mac, I talked to Joe McG about it.
Big pledges and mouse pledges will be mailed out in late July.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:48am From: thelma

I was just about to ask the same question about marathon premiums. I usually have a new WFMU t-shirt by now.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:48am From: Laurie

Good to know, Cecile! Thank you.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:48am From: Swag

We require mucho bigass prep. Thank you.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:49am From: Carmichael

OK, Dokaka. Now I'm ecstatic .....

Wed. 6/24/09 10:50am From: BSI

good news on the premiums.
I was beginning to wonder if my neighbors had made off with a tasty package from FMU.... which still might happen, but there's hope.
...hungry for buddha machine...

Wed. 6/24/09 10:52am From: fishmonkeystew

Vikki on Wednesdays and Fabio on Thurs?!?! There IS a god and it's name is WFMU!!! I gonna dance a little jig.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:54am From: Janet H

sabotage!!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:54am From: Cecile

I did get a premium indirectly - I won the Subway Art book, and VIlly Yams put his Irish hiphop premium in there!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:56am From: doug from dc

I hope Diane will be doing some fill-ins. I'll really miss her show. But it is great to have Fabio back, and in the daytime.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:56am From: Swag Work Process

Tom S. was soliciting engineering help for his premium last night on the air -- matching levels, inserting trackage, etc. Gotta finish it before you can burn copies!

Wed. 6/24/09 10:58am From: Cecile

I will have to check the bulletins from my metal online stores more carefully - Diane was kind of great for getting good metal new releases on her show.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:58am From: Behind the Scenes Drama

You'd never believe it.

Then again, you would.

Wed. 6/24/09 10:59am From: Mark L

I'm definitely getting some Odd Nosdam. Awesome!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:01am From: Janet H

Sabotage!!!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:01am From: Laurie

Is that Julio, dancing in a nightclub??

Wed. 6/24/09 11:03am From: Cecile

Wed. 6/24/09 11:06am From: Janet H

Cecile, it must be and now we just need "Sabotage!"...

Wed. 6/24/09 11:07am From: Carmichael

I've never heard this before. I really like it. Trying to place the guitar lick.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:08am From: annie

ken, i'm glad to see you've joined the "sexy white jacket" club for men. and manly men, too!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:09am From: Don Johnson

Wed. 6/24/09 11:15am From: Janet H

Max, I had to make ken's dreams come true!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:16am From: Parq in his white jacket

You know the difference between you and me? I make this look schlumphy.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:17am From: Wrinkles

We'll do that to you...

Wed. 6/24/09 11:18am From: Cecile

so how badly will Spain decimate the US today? eh?

i hope an elementary teacher is listening to this and someone from social services sees this picture of Andy's new baby.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:25am From: Janet H

that picture is hilarious!

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
Jeffrey I hear you!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:26am From: Carmichael

BSI, you ready for a 2-1 US victory?

Wed. 6/24/09 11:27am From: ?

Jeffrey I hear you... what is that about... could this be your nod to the upcoming stonewall celebration? It's a good song

Wed. 6/24/09 11:27am From: Spain

Coma una, Teddy Roosevelt!

The Girls were opening for Human Sexual Response in the Rat in the summer of '79. They had equipment trouble and got really frustrated. The guitarist threw a chair at me. Knocked the drink clean out of my hand. I'm fairly sure I was a random target.

I like his head. I have one of those on my other end, oddly enough, but mommy slaps my hand when I stroke it.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:29am From: BSI

Carmichael: Honestly I'd be shocked into a coma. The match v.Egypt stank of some bizarre law-of-averages phenomenon. Well played, absolutely. But deals with the devil tend to have a predictable plot-arc.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:32am From: sherri

parq, that's fantastic!!!!!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:33am From: evan

jeffrey: that's one sad song-- you should see the 7" jacket--about his kid brother apparently

Wed. 6/24/09 11:33am From: Parq

The thing that bugged me is, the house wouldn't replace my drink.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:33am From: Janet H

sabotage!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:37am From: BSI

FASCISTS!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:38am From: Cecile

I'll say it. Sound Exchange are thugs.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:38am From: Carmichael

I say we burn the fuckers' houses down.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:38am From: PMD

Wow, you should write a book Ken. How I help to screw the BIG man.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:39am From: Parq

Sounds remarkably like all those cops who ruthlessly enforce the no-photos-in-the-subway law, which happens to have never actually been enacted.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:39am From: Lizardner Dave

I blame AIG. Oh wait, wrong week.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:40am From: jk

what's the big deal with writing down what you play? why is that so hard?tell kenny g to just sort his itunes for last played and print that out

Wed. 6/24/09 11:40am From: Lizardner Dave

Oh yeah, and I bet Sound Exchange are a bunch of FUCKING COLUMN VIOLATORRRRRRRRRRRS!

OK, that joke is dead now.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:40am From: Seamus

My beagle seems quite confused by this song.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:41am From: 30 sex

That's why amazon.com have 30 second samples from all tracks on all CDs, because of that threshhold. Does the RIAA think they didn't check first? Or that they wouldn't have been stopped years ago if they had interpreted the policy inaccurately?

Many lawyers are just wannbe mafiosi who spent a lot of time memorizing stuff from books instead of enforcing on the street, because they are really just pussyboys. They're full of hot ripe fart air a lot of the time, so just laugh at their asses.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:43am From: Gregory

Ken, what is the objection to writing down songs? My problem with the usual royalty system is that it gives huge amounts of money to popular artists and virtually nothing to the kinds of people played on WFMU. If your djs' writing down song tracks means that independent artists will actually get money, isn't that a good thing?

Wed. 6/24/09 11:44am From: Laurie

I enjoyed your SoundExchange story and would not object to hearing more stories of that nature.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:44am From: Think About It

The Dj's volunteer. They don't always want to do more extra work they don't feel like for nothing.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:44am From: Parq

Yeah. Dang that Kenny G, I want the guy who recorded "Fwoop" and "Meeoop" to get his money.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:44am From: Cecile

Because, I believe, that that money won't get to indie artists.
Remember Sound Exchange's list of artists they couldn't find? I think Kraftwerk were on there!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:45am From: dc pat

and what about they guy that did all the fart noises?? DOWN WITH WFMU!!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:45am From: LIzardner Dave

Gregory, I think the point is that the RIAA doesn't ever actually pay off any small artists and that this is just an exercise for them to line their own pockets.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:46am From: Cecile

what lizardner dave said.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:49am From: Seamus

Can we receive copies of the RIAA audit for their payments to the bands played on FMU ?

Wed. 6/24/09 11:49am From: Ken

I think by their own admission, Soundexchange has paid 19,000 artists and has not paid 35,000 other artists who they "can't find." The artists they can't find include peoiple like Ted Nugent, Kraftwerk, Lene Lovich, etc. Super obscure artists like that.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:50am From: Cecile

That's right, the Nuge was on there!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:50am From: RIAA Pussy Lawyers

Huh? We get to be peremptory. Not anyone else. You're just not getting it.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:51am From: Seamus

The Nuge needs onlt nature's bounty!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:51am From: SoundExchange

Our Secret Name: Protection Money Exchange

Wed. 6/24/09 11:52am From: Carmichael

What's the problem with simply ignoring them? What will they do, file a lawsuit? A big, bad lawsuit? Oooooohhhh, not a lawsuit!!?!?!??

Wed. 6/24/09 11:53am From: Cecile

they made some woman pay $12 million for some songs she downloaded.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:53am From: The Nuge

They can't find me because I'm hiding out from ATF. Yaaahhghhh!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:53am From: FMU Lawyer

Hey Carm: Because *I* don't volunteer, mwahahahahahahaha!!!!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:54am From: Carmichael

I have a feeling that if Terrible Ted knew he was owed some coin, he'd take the next tank over to RIAA Allied Command for some whoop ass.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:55am From: Cecile

yeah, he could use it to pay child suppor he deadbeated on in Michigan

Wed. 6/24/09 11:56am From: Sniffling woman

Sound Exchange ate my baby for lunch. Then burped in my face.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:56am From: Cecile

support

Wed. 6/24/09 11:56am From: Vicki

another problem is a lot of artists don't register with these collection agencies, or they don't go into the agencies websites to go and make claims when the money hasn't made it to them. However you CAN do this, and I do that every few months - go and GET the money from them. I can say that if you do register with them and do this you DO get paid, I get a lot of royalties from non-US radio/public play. However that is from national/commercial stations but wfmu doesn't fall into that category. I would never expect royalties, and expect to be able to sign a form on these collection agencies sites to say I want to exempt payment from non-commercial entities - since the structure is very different. I might add that one only needs to be played on the BBC 6-7 times to make more than one might expect from releasing an album on a small label.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:56am From: Mac

Anybody else remember when Disney sued some underground cartoonists for character infringement. It was the Air Pirates comix. Disney certainly a lot of money then!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:57am From: Mac

Insert "Made" in there.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:57am From: spaniel

you're a nazi sap ken.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:58am From: BSI

Hooray! Finally! A thin veneer of gladness!

Wed. 6/24/09 11:58am From: Sound Exchange

The government keeps tons of bucks on bottle and can deposits for cans and bottles not redeemed. We want in on that scam action.

Wed. 6/24/09 11:59am From: Janet H

Ken, Well Done!
