Under 'What's Playing Today' on the home page, Evan Muse's show runs 6am-8pm. Then resumes 11pm-6am. Yikes!

Wed. 8/15/07 9:05am From: Ken

Yes, rest assured that Evan Muse has not taken over Wednesdays. The database has simply gone ga-ga over him. Someone will fix it soon, I hope I hope..

Wed. 8/15/07 9:07am From: JJZ

I see him as every show but one. Why must Dave Mandl sully "Evan Muse Wednesday?"

Wed. 8/15/07 9:08am From: JJZ

Oops, answered before my message.

Wed. 8/15/07 9:09am From: Jack

Hi Ken, I gotta tell you; last week your show was the perfect soundtrack for watching NASA-TV. Today I'm watching the astros suit up for a space walk. Thanks for the great music.

Jack

Wed. 8/15/07 9:24am From: john

my dog loves to howl along to neil young, but only when he plays harmonica.

Wed. 8/15/07 9:30am From: Brandon

Nice to hear C. Newman writing good pop-songs again

Wed. 8/15/07 9:39am From: Ken

That was the most Wire-like tune on the new Githead CD. Rest of it's good though.. I will play another tune from it later on.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:02am From: Ann Arbor Doug

Yay for a Tony Wilson set. Please play "Shack Up" by ACR for me.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:04am From: Negator

Holy SHit! I own that Batman record! No wonder I liked it so much! WOW! I'm gonna go home tonight and find it and listen with new ears! Thanks, Ken,

Wed. 8/15/07 10:05am From: Brandon

erm, Tony had his problems. I hope history sort of forgets bands like Shark Vegas.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:05am From: Gigantor

Regarding the Curtis Mayfield MP3 loop, once you listen to Kenny G for a while, you don't even notice things like that!

Wed. 8/15/07 10:05am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Dude, this is truly vile!

Wed. 8/15/07 10:05am From: jtm

I never knew that Happy Mondays could be so sad.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:07am From: Bad Ronald

What year was this released?

Wed. 8/15/07 10:09am From: Ken

That Happy Mondays 12 inch arrived in the FMU library in 1987. There's no release date on it though...It was Fac 176

Wed. 8/15/07 10:14am From: Chuckles

Wow, the drummer doesn't seem 100% with it on this version of Interzone. Reminds me of a cover I attempted once.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:16am From: marcus

whoo, I love this joy division track so much ("she lost control") best marcus

Wed. 8/15/07 10:16am From: Chuckles

How about something from New Order's "Movement"?

Wed. 8/15/07 10:16am From: Brandon

Control never sounds old. As much as I might have grown tired of it over the years. It still sounds like a bolt from the blue...

Wed. 8/15/07 10:17am From: Listener Mike D.

"Everything's Gone Green" by New Order from the 1981-82 EP would be fantastic.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:20am From: dante

Haha, this Yat Kha song is confusing. I dont know whether i should laugh or cry.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:21am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

When I heard you play Albert Kuvezin a few months back I fell in love! Went right out and bought the CD.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:24am From: Bad Ronald

Thanks Ken!

Wed. 8/15/07 10:26am From: brandon

hows about durruti column? They were a good band to chill out too, after all.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:28am From: nh_dave

The one thing I can't stand about new order is that there are a zillion different versions of each song. They aren't really remixes, they are just subtle changes to the song... That and I heard one of their songs in a cingular ad last night. I know they did the sunkist ad back in the day blah blah...

Great song however. Old new order really was great (of course joy division was better LOL)

Wed. 8/15/07 10:28am From: frederic

Isn't it a sign of old age when your teenage era music gets heavily played in tribute/obituary sets? Thanks anyway, Ken

Wed. 8/15/07 10:30am From: Ann Arbor Doug

Ken, do you remember Cheryl Ho from the Professor's show? I'd love to hear that again sometime.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:30am From: Listener Mike D.

Thanks muchly Ken, and nice touch on the ending/transitional moment there. This is why you are the DJ and we are merely the unwashed pavlovian masses!

Wed. 8/15/07 10:32am From: Ken

Frederic - You are correct. But unless I am mistaken, old age does NOT lead to death.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:38am From: brandon

whoah, these are those erm...hot pre-teen Russian lesbians.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:47am From: Iver

Okay, since you're on other Russian theme, let's go a little north .... to Finland ...... to that fabulous proto-oompah-metal band..... don't pretend you don't know what I mean Ken!

Wed. 8/15/07 10:48am From: Tom

Thanks for the internet Ken. I'm listening over here in Dublin. In Ireland radio listens to you! And Pete Burns has his own daytime talk show.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:53am From: otis

Hummmm-pa. We are in Finland!!

Wed. 8/15/07 10:54am From: Ken

You're welcome for the internet Tom. Al Gore and I invented it backstage at a Happy Mondays show.

Wed. 8/15/07 10:54am From: nh_dave

We decided this was love cats right?

Wed. 8/15/07 10:55am From: Gigantor

Yay! Humpaa! Now wouldn't it be a good time for some Eilert Pilarm? I mean, with the Elvis anniversary coming up? Oh, and Hi Tom!

Wed. 8/15/07 10:57am From: Iver

Humpaa Mania

Wed. 8/15/07 11:06am From: Jeffrey Weyand

Hey Ken, any leads on available downloads of Yat Kha? guy is tooooo kewl. (other than link on playlist)?

Wed. 8/15/07 11:11am From: Vicki

Some creative searching through Blogspot will find you Yat Kha.

Wed. 8/15/07 11:11am From: The Framinator

It is past 11am and yet no one has raised the topic of frames? What is this, some kinda bizarro world?

Wed. 8/15/07 11:12am From: Ken

Jeffrey - I would suggest trying one of the internets. I think we posted their Joy Division cover on the FMU blog a while back..

Wed. 8/15/07 11:13am From: jtm

Is it me, or are your math questions getting harder and harder?

Wed. 8/15/07 11:15am From: Ken

Speaking of frames, everybody should check out Listener Buz's mockup of a possible new playlist layout:

http://www.pizzabytheslice.com/projects/wfmu/

Wed. 8/15/07 11:15am From: b

sorry, took me twenty minutes to figure out the square root of 25x35.7895-8

Wed. 8/15/07 11:17am From: Marley

I agree with jtn. I had to carry a six for crying out loud!

Wed. 8/15/07 11:19am From: The Framinator

I like. Do the comments auto-update or just the playlist? It is fairly frustrating to be reading the comments and have the page auto re-load before you can finish.

Wed. 8/15/07 11:20am From: Ann Arbor Doug

Oh jeez the playlist layout looks great! Good work Buz.

Wed. 8/15/07 11:22am From: Gigantor

man, 386dx rocks! You don't here the new kids like Core2Duo doing s**t like this!

Wed. 8/15/07 11:25am From: pat

Buz's design is perfect! Deploy immediately. As far as iframes goes, who really cares about Lynx for crissakes?? And I'm a Linux user...

Wed. 8/15/07 11:28am From: jeffrey

Rooster? Hey, how's Olive and her Brats?

Wed. 8/15/07 11:31am From: bwalker

you got the russensoul! you are fast fast fast

Wed. 8/15/07 11:44am From: kat

Crisp sounds like John Lydon on premarin. Early (and great) post-gender hero. Good to hear.

Wed. 8/15/07 11:44am From: Marley

Bravo Buz! Is that going to become the new design?

Wed. 8/15/07 11:45am From: Ken

Hey bwalker! Nice piece on Morning Edition yesterday. I didn't even recognize your voice.

Wed. 8/15/07 11:51am From: bwalker

thanks Ken! I guess its all context -
Sunday night was even more fun though!

Wed. 8/15/07 11:52am From: Ken

I will be on vacation the next two weeks, folks. Thanks a lot for all your comments. To quote Donny Osmond, see you in September!

Wed. 8/15/07 11:56am From: fach001

happy hollidays!

Wed. 8/15/07 11:59am From: otis
