Mornin'
  9:01am annie:

word up
  9:01am Jack:

Hot Biscuits!
  9:02am Ne-guh-tor:

If you get stuck at the station, Ken, like the Donner Party, which DJ's will be eaten first and how will you prepare them?
  9:02am Billy Jam:

Morning Ken, hello Bad Ronald
  9:02am Lizardner Dave:

I don't think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for quite some time yet, your erminence.

Mornin' everyone!
  9:03am Dan B From Upstate:

Good morning Ken, and fellow listeners. How's everyone's day so far?
  9:03am Parq:

He doesn't make it, does he?
  9:05am Bad Ronald:

Hey Billy!
  9:05am jan:

The Donner party didn't have a swell DJ like Ken
  9:06am doug in dc:

The heavy stuff just started here. I woke up thinking it wouldn't be so bad, but a few minutes later I could barely see down the street.
  9:06am bennett4senate:

Ken I will try to keep my frustration over a forestalled vacation out of the comments and just enjoy the show :) Funny how when you're a kid, a snow day makes a vacation as opposed to canceling one.
  9:07am Ne-guh-tor:

I'm afraid he didn't make it Parq. Jan, The DJ would have died first and been eaten first on the Donner party my guess.
  9:07am fishmonkeystew:

Good morning fellow WFMUers! Happy Snowpocalypse!
  9:07am Bad Ronald:

Ken: Snowman by XTC would be cool if you have it lying around and are so inclined...

...just sayin'...
  9:09am Parq:

Albert Brooks:

Crowd: Boo!!

DJ: Thank you, you're beautiful!

Crowd: I said "boo"!!

DJ: I said "thank you"!
  9:14am Wendy del Formaggio:

BRR, IT IS COLD. Play it, Ken, play it!
  9:14am JJZ:

Whenever I see snowpocalypse or snowmaggeddon, I have to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJuMvgWYe7E again.
  9:15am bennett4senate:

snowpocalypse = zombies in ski pants? I hope so
  9:15am JCityJensen:

snow morning ken!
  9:18am Bad Ronald:

I love this guys enthusiasm:
http://tinyurl.com/crazysnow
  9:18am Chris:

I'd rather not be around when he comes out the other end.
  9:19am emily waters:

I thought that I had coined the term snowmaggedon yesterday! I guess it is good to know that unlike snowflakes, I'm not unique.
  9:19am Michelle:

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
It's not even that snowy here in Green Bay, but I've been feeling left out.
Good morning! Wishing I didn't have to go teach a class in 5 minutes so I could listen...
  9:20am doug in dc:

http://snowpocalypsedc.com/
  9:21am dei x:

Hello from the NH coast. No snow yet, but more importantly - when it comes, we have someplace to put it. (quite the invitation for wise ass fill in the blank)
  9:22am Chris:

Eating a DJ is like eating Taco Bell, so good going in but hell coming out.
  9:22am seang:

that weatherman is out of his gourd! thanks, bad ron
  9:24am erella:

Hi Ken, from toronto, still feeling groggy
  9:26am Bad Ronald:

YW Seang!

Is that Tricky Dick calling in sick?
  9:27am Ken:

Hahahah, it does looks like Nixon!
  9:27am Bad Ronald:

Thanks Ken!!!
  9:27am Chris:

Wow, I just stepped outside and the snow tried to kill me - please, no more cribs ken.
  9:31am Dan B From Upstate:

Diggin' this XTC track. Is all their stuff that good?
  9:32am Ne-guh-tor:

the stranglers-ice
  9:33am Bad Ronald:

@ Dan B. - I think so but if you like that track get your hands on "English Settlement" and decide for yourself.
  9:34am Dan B From Upstate:

Thanks, Bad Ronald. I'll look into it!
  9:34am Cecile:

Michelle - when did the whole world turn into Northern Wisconsin and the UP?
  9:36am Chris:

What about the key party at the synagogue tonight, is that still on?
  9:37am dale:

otay, i'll log on, ken...how about nick cave's '15 feet of pure white snow?" or some cut from the residents' "eskimo"
  9:37am Cecile:

How about Snowsicle by Poole?

I expect a lot of November babies...
  9:38am Cecile:

Or Igloo by the Screaming Tribesmen
  9:40am Bad Ronald:

Cool Dan B. lemme know what you think...
  9:41am Cecile:

The Soul Plane is grounded!
  9:41am doug in dc:

Nurse With Wound's Shipwreck Radio recordings in the Norwegian Arctic. Or Biosphere, Geir Jenssen is from the Arctic.
  9:42am Cecile:

The Coctails had a great Christmas disc.
  9:43am Cecile:

Of course Inuit music. And Siberian music.

(but not the Trans-Siberian Orchestra...)
  9:45am Chris:

is the tricky dick phone sex line still operating despite the snow?
  9:55am Dan B From Upstate:

I have to admit, living where I live, it's nice to hear about other people having snow dumped on them. We've gotten a break this year. It's nice.
  9:56am jhn:

You suck Ken, I've been stuck at home since Friday. And I have to work from home. In DC.
  9:56am dei x:

Snow has arrived on NH coast. Happy little flakes at 32 degrees
  9:56am dale:

growing up thru the winters of 76, 77, 78, 79, 80 etc in Buffalo area...THOSE were snowstorms.
  9:57am Chris:

God hates Ken because Ken doesn't appreciate God's awesome snow power!
  9:57am dei x:

I second the Inuit request
  9:58am LizGig:

Did it snow in New Jersey?
  9:59am doug in dc:

So far this season, DC has had more snow than either Buffalo or Erie. We are second only to Syracuse.
  9:59am Cecile:

*cries*

Just trying to help...*sniff*
  10:00am Chris:

@dale - i'm with you - i grew up outside rochester during those years - great snow for kids.
  10:01am LizGig:

Ok. I'm caught up now. You've had a lot of snow. How much snow is a lot in New Jersey?
  10:01am Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

too bad can't play Kevin Bloody Wilson !!! yahhh !!!
  10:02am dale:

this still works with the snow theme, ken....all that alpine-ishness and such.
  10:03am PMD:

OK, I'm here, just in time for yodeling! Woo hoo!
As the blizzard rages outside in N. VA. Safe and warm with Ken.
  10:04am Mark DeAngelis:

TEX ANTWON!!!! REMEMBER THE REMARK THAT GOT HIM THROWN OFF THE AIR...I KNOW YOU KNOW IT KEN!!!
  10:08am dale:

here's yer nj traffic cams so you can see what a bust armepocolypse is:
http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/traffic/cameras/
  10:09am Chris:

actually tex antoine was referring to how someone might listen to WFMU.
  10:10am stu:

Tex Antoine said something else that did not get him thrown off the air. They were celelbrating x years of his weather broadcasts. they brought out a cake at the end of the show. over the credits, when the mics were assumed to be off, he said "did they get a shot of the f-ing cake?" this was on live television...
  10:11am MD:

It Had to do with "The family Jewels"
Tex Antoine...of course!...sorry I took to many snow daze!!!
  10:11am stu:

Ken - are you going to discuss the disappearance of "Coast to Coast AM" from WABC-AM?
  10:15am Roger Grimsby:

I'm Roger Grimsby, here now your news...
  10:16am nasok:

more boos!
  10:17am stu:

Actually, the Tex Antoine comment that got him kicked off the air was his response to a news story about a rape - remember?
  10:19am Bill Buetel:

I do
  10:20am Lizardner Dave:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpxiCxO5k0g

This begs to be sound-bited and remixed.
  10:21am MD:

Yes it was a very sad thing say....so I won't repeat it...
  10:25am Lizardner Dave:

I bet Andy Breckman knows the remark that got ol Tex booted.
  10:27am esch oder anarchie!:

Is it just me or are the streams down?
  10:28am Carmichael:

Ken. Sparks. Tea. I don't need nuthin' else.
  10:28am Ne-guh-tor:

New Sparks, Yeah!
  10:28am Michael:

Maybe if Nixon had in fact said this more often he could have been an excuse for a decent human being as it was, people around him admired what a hard worker he was, if they didn't make fun of it...."Lead-Butt Nixon".

So, since I am eligible to become President, it is vital that I shirk today....
  10:29am Carmichael:

20K WMP works fine for me.
  10:29am Cecile:

I know it now, too.

It's a line from literature, but it's highly inappropriate in the context.
  10:29am Cecile:

thank you Google.
  10:30am Bill W:

I have a snow day from my temp job (out a couple hundred bucks) and am eating my next-door neighbor.
  10:31am esch oder anarchie!:

Thanks carmichael -- it is just me. Just looked in my control panel and it said, "No audio device." There was one there yesterday. Damn office computers!
  10:32am trs:

Throw it out the window!
  10:33am Janet H:

Hello!
I'm thinkin' of an idea for that remix pic.
  10:33am Bad Ronald:

Hey, didn't snow kill Jay Reatard?
  10:36am dei x:

SISTO!
  10:36am Cecile:

I love this soundtrack and that crazy movie
  10:40am dei x:

Leviathan!
  10:40am dei x:

Unintelligible hollering!
  10:44am Cecile:

God, I need to see that again.
  10:45am MD:

Snowpocalyps!!!! MOTHER EARTH IS FINALLY GETTIN RID OF US PARASITES!!! PRAISE GLOBAL WARMING...CHANGE IS GOOD!!!
  10:45am dei x:

See American Astronaut, Ken - the Party Song will take on an even more sinister air.
  10:48am andy:

Best part of working from home due to the snow, is the ability to stream audio and listen to Ken. The Man prevents it from the office.
  10:48am BSI:

Finally crawling up to life.... gasp gasp... good morning my oddly distorted metafamily...
  10:48am chris:

  10:55am Dan B From Upstate:

Andy Breckman should be in for 7SD tonight, right? He can use the weather as an excuse to hang up on people.
  10:58am listener mark:

Bank of America has called every day for a week. They received a 30 Billion Dollar bailout from the Federal Goverment. What do they need my money for? Twizzlers?
  11:00am listener mark:

Sorry! Sorry about that! Wrong screen! Thought this was facebook!! ha ha Great snow Ken! Looking forward to the marathon!!
  11:02am chris:

  11:07am still b/p:

Camille was almost reaching the Clare Prophet plane for a moment there.
  11:08am annie:

  11:12am trs:

  11:15am Mark:

oh I know where the action is
  11:16am not The Man:

I do hereby declare it is now time to tip any bottle you want; the bar is open.
  11:17am Stu:

This storm is retribution for WABC removing "Coast to Coast AM" from the local ariwaves. The alien lifeforms can no longer broadcast to the local populace.
  11:19am kym:

Eating human flesh makes me feel evil as a wet hen.
  11:21am md:

OH BABY....
  11:21am annie:

those girls looked snowed in and very hungry. wonder if they have the fire up yet.
  11:22am MD:

Weird Al is a freaking legend. Have you heard him on the various podcasts? Very funny guy. Even if you don't like his music.
  11:34am Cecile:

I like Weird Al. His interview with Shatner recently was both funny and very moving.
  11:35am CheriPi:

Thanks for the japanese folk!
  11:35am Ken:

  11:39am stingy d:

incidentally my dog has a twitter account....
  11:39am BSI:

ah... sheep are gone. All is well now.
  11:40am Mark:

my feeling is that Weird Al is an unfunny asshat
  11:40am Ken:

Y'know Bad Ronald, I didn;t hate Stan Lee at all, but now that you mention it, I DO!! Thanks!
  11:41am jhn:

ken "too cool" freedman, making fun of the lunch table with the nerds who are Weird Al fans.
  11:41am randy in NC:

  11:42am Bad Ronald:

Glad I could help!
  11:43am Ken:

jhn, if you must know, I never stayed in the cafeteria to make fun of the nerds. I went home to eat lunch and smoke weed with my freak friends.
  11:43am Mark:

now, not only is it not snowing, but the clouds appear to be breaking up
  11:44am Johnny Weatherman:

Dream on, Mark.
  11:46am Cecile:

Our freaks used to smoke at the school playground across the street from the high school.
  11:46am Mark:

  11:46am John McCabe in LA:

  11:49am jhn:

I used to sneak over the the vocational school across the parking lot, and smoke cigarettes with the denim-clad metalheads
  11:50am stingy d:

to be fair tho- it was called college at that point
  11:50am BSI:
