Didn't see that one coming.

Morning all. Due to popular demand (two weeks ago) Kenzo has added a feature which temporarily stops these comments from refreshing. The link is at the top to pause the comments from auto-refreshing. WHen you pause it, another link will appear at the top and the bottom to restart it.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:10am From: Parq

Oh thank you, Kenzo, you are one of my top FMU heroes!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:12am From: Listener Dave

Fantastic. Love the new feature. Thanks Kenzo!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:16am From: -max-

Excellent job, Kenzo! Great choices to start the ol' blood flowing, Ken! Kudos all 'round!!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:18am From: RyanDC

Does that Plastic Ono Band cut have Frank Zappa on gee-tar?

Wed. 11/21/07 9:19am From: Bethany

Agreed, Max...Man that drum solo had me a tappin

Wed. 11/21/07 9:20am From: Ken

Ryan - I'll have to defer to another Lennon completist for that answer, but it doesn't appear to include Zappa. G Harrison and Clapton might be playing on some of it.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:30am From: Kosta

Aint that nothing rocked!!!!!!!!!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:31am From: negator

Diane you hot warbling milf take it OFF!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:31am From: Doug

I'm taking my clothes off too!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:32am From: negator

Yeah, baby, yeah!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:32am From: Doug

The rock band Moes Haven released a song called "Diane Rehm" in 2004.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:32am From: cheri

happy thanksgiving ken,,have you got any plans?? will you watch the parade??

Wed. 11/21/07 9:32am From: Bethany

You know Diane Rehm is way too classy for that..

Wed. 11/21/07 9:33am From: Ben

You are making me feel a little weird inside.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:34am From: Ken

I must have the Diane Rehm song.. please send it if possible. She is my new heroine.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:34am From: John from Oslo

Wow, That sounded like Peter Sellers doing the voice of "Auntie Rotter", from the sketch of the same name

Wed. 11/21/07 9:35am From: Doug

I don't have it, that's from her Wikipedia entry.

Spasmodic Dysphonia is a pretty good band name.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:38am From: cheri

Wow, this Anna Electronische is outstanding!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:40am From: steve beshekis

Anna Electronische=extremely cool....

Wed. 11/21/07 9:40am From: Doug

The last track I heard from this was awful, like a substandard Britney tune. This isn't bad though. Incidentally I was only able to get google results by spelling the name with a "K" - Elektronische.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:41am From: Bethany

Goin' back to Diane Rehm, she's pretty hot. You don't really get that impression from her voice.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:42am From: nh_dave

Shockingly Satanicpornocultshop's myspace page is so NSFW

Wed. 11/21/07 9:42am From: Ken

It's true. Diane Rehm looks about 50 years younger than she sounds. And her radio show is actually pretty good.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:43am From: nh_dave

Oh yeah Ken frequent posters should get a 'no math' pass, kinda like the TSA 'breeze through security' passes they are thinking of. Morning + simple math doesn't work for me so well...

Wed. 11/21/07 9:46am From: Ken

That's not too shocking NH Dave - they are generally NSFW. I edited the curses out of the track I just played.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:50am From: mike

i love this pavement guy!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:51am From: Adam in London

Supergrass, brilliant..

Wed. 11/21/07 9:53am From: Listener Dave

I say if the crowd turns on you, just go with it.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:53am From: jamest

KROCK announcer is your mom, Ken

Wed. 11/21/07 9:55am From: Ben

no, that's MY mom

Wed. 11/21/07 9:55am From: Bethany

I like the wackiness of this version of "Is That All There Is?"

Wed. 11/21/07 9:56am From: dave from baltimore

hey, this isn't pavement... Good Morning everyone!

Wed. 11/21/07 9:57am From: jonathan

let us break out the booze

Wed. 11/21/07 9:58am From: Ken

You can grab this version of Is That All There Is from the FMU blog, btw.

Wed. 11/21/07 9:59am From: Bethany

Sweet, Ken..I never knew nihilism could make me wanna dance so much

Wed. 11/21/07 9:59am From: Doug of Canada

Nice... always loved "Is that all there is?" ... and Cold Turkey (thanksgiving joke, I guess) ... "This is a song about pain!"

Wed. 11/21/07 10:07am From: Doc Fu

Thank you for telling me about pausing the comments. Now I don't have to see this one!

Wed. 11/21/07 10:10am From: Listener Dave

What's tonight's SSD encore presentation going to be?

Wed. 11/21/07 10:12am From: nh_dave

Oh yeah! WSB! I love the video (thanks for the blog for posting it a few years ago)

Wed. 11/21/07 10:12am From: raga

YES! no thanksgiving would be complete without uncle bill's thanksgiving prayer.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:14am From: dave from baltimore

I played this for my ex and it made her angry at me for not being in the holiday spirit- thankfull that that one is over! happy thanksgiving everyone

Wed. 11/21/07 10:17am From: Ken

Dave - Tonight's SSD will be a never before re-run show from 1994. Not sure which one though.. I have three to choose from.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:19am From: Listener Dave

Cool! I'll be listening while I start to do prep for tomorrow's festivities.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:20am From: Wes

Jeeeeeyah. (don't you fumble, just be humble)

Wed. 11/21/07 10:25am From: -max-

RyanDC: That Plastic Ono Band live version Cold Turkey did not have FZappa playing on it. He joined in later, starting with the song "Well". Just for the record...

Wed. 11/21/07 10:32am From: nh_dave

Rudy was on the local talk radio station up in boston the other day and I could have sworn that the interview was 9:11 long

Wed. 11/21/07 10:32am From: Webhamster Henry

Joshua Fried is lots of fun! see more his stuff on
http://radiowonderland.org/serendipity/

Wed. 11/21/07 10:33am From: Wes

Break out the powder puffs, it's Judy Ghoul-e-Annie!! Talk to you later, 9/11.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:34am From: Mark

Joe Biden on Rudy Giuliani "And the irony is, Rudy Giuliani, probably the most underqualified man since George Bush to seek the presidency, is here talking about any of the people here. Rudy Giuliani... I mean, think about it! Rudy Giuliani. There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb, and 9/11. There's nothing else! There's nothing else! And I mean this sincerely. He's genuinely not qualified to be president

Wed. 11/21/07 10:35am From: ?

Liked Corsta De Rock, how is the rest of Brazil '70? Ah, Good Morning Ken and other WFMU listeners. Can one anticipate a September 11 mp3 up on the WFMU blog? Looking forward to a nice afternoon nap...

Wed. 11/21/07 10:36am From: Bethany

Joe Biden was compared with the best soccer player in America today on Morning Edition..he's super qualified but nobody knows who he is..Wow big ups to NPR this morning, I guess.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:36am From: nEGATOR

'shit out by wholesome American guts'

Wed. 11/21/07 10:37am From: jonathan

weak and afraid

Wed. 11/21/07 10:40am From: Pamela

What an uplifting song for the holidays (drunken driver)

Wed. 11/21/07 10:42am From: negator

This is the kind of irony I fear...(drunken driver)

Wed. 11/21/07 10:42am From: Bethany

Pamela- for real, though. How about a follow up with John Prine's "Sam Stone"? All the money goes into daddyyyyy's arrrmmm

Wed. 11/21/07 10:42am From: Listener Dave

Any chance of rounding out the set with Jean Shepherd doing a reading of "Hellbound Train"?

Wed. 11/21/07 10:45am From: Parq

I was away from the puter for over an hour, and I came back, hit pause, and read all the back comments at my leisure without losing my place once. It's a miracle!

Boy that Ferlin sure put a scare into me. I'll never go driving drunk late at night while my kids are out on the road homeless again!

Wed. 11/21/07 10:47am From: Bethany

Holy crap, is this for real? Hobo radio? So freakin sweet. Sorry to post so much

Wed. 11/21/07 10:49am From: (mta) Tony

No need to apologize, Bethany. We love having you and reading what you have to say. Keep on postin'! Are you Bethany Ryker?

Wed. 11/21/07 10:51am From: Bethany

Nope...Enright. From Lansing, MI.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:51am From: jamest

No I am Bethany Ryker you bastards!

Wed. 11/21/07 10:52am From: Parq

Bonne chance, Wes.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:53am From: Vivian

Bethany Ryker broke my bubble blower..an i know how to blow bubble.s..

Wed. 11/21/07 10:53am From: Rob W

Giuliani Speaks for Himself! (I'm reminded of: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/02/john_oswald_dou.html.)

Wed. 11/21/07 10:53am From: jonathan

where did the bubble blower stuff come from?

Wed. 11/21/07 10:54am From: (mta) Tony

Good to have you aboard! Happy Thanksgiving, Bethany from Lansing, Bethany Ryker, jamest, Parq, Wes, Ken, Dave (both of you's), Cheri, and all the rest.

Wed. 11/21/07 10:55am From: Andrew

Wed. 11/21/07 11:01am From: Listener Dave

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you as well

Wed. 11/21/07 11:08am From: Bethany

Wed. 11/21/07 11:08am From: cheri

Wed. 11/21/07 11:12am From: Bethany

Cheri- Going to my aunt's and wishing there was beer to drink

Wed. 11/21/07 11:13am From: efd

I don't know if this is in the library (or if it would be to your liking, Ken) but the Godfathers did a decent (imho) "Cold Turkey" cover on their Hit After Hit album.

I guess I have just outed myself as a Godfathers fan.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:18am From: negator

Poor Alien Sex Fiend. Is he dead yet?

Wed. 11/21/07 11:18am From: Mark

He's been dead 2 or 3 times at least

Wed. 11/21/07 11:21am From: Ken

Just a reminder for anybody checking in late, you can now pause the comments from refreshing so you can scroll through them and actually read them, Hit the "pause" link at the top. This is a new feature for all shows that do playlists with comments.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:25am From: Ken

Thanks efd, great version! Cant find the Cheap Trick version, damnit!

Wed. 11/21/07 11:26am From: mark m

the show's great & so were the Godfathers. I saw 'em in an Austin club in the late 80s and they KILLED.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:31am From: Listener Dave

This isn't going to lead to "Fire and Rain", is it? Well, Andy would be happy.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:31am From: Mark

Should I mention that Cold Turkey was also covered by Lenny Kravitz?

Wed. 11/21/07 11:32am From: Listener Dave

"Hit The Plane Down" wuold be cool, however. Sorry, I'm being a backseat DJ.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:32am From: cheri

well ken,,happy thanksgiving anyway,,,,,have fun

Wed. 11/21/07 11:35am From: Ken

"Should I mention that Cold Turkey was also covered by Lenny Kravitz?"

No, I'd prefer that you not bring that up.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:40am From: Mark

I thought so

Wed. 11/21/07 11:41am From: Bethany

This (Tim Gane) kinda sounds like the High Llamas making a song for a television show that features in-depth reports...I'm not sure why, though. Or maybe the soundtrack to a jazzy Steve McQueen movie.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:42am From: evan

Do you have a cover of Lenny Kravitz playing Turkey In The Straw?

Wed. 11/21/07 11:42am From: efd

Ken, check your email (if you haven't already) for a link to an mp3 of the Cheap Trick version.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:43am From: Bethany

Or maybe I'm confused and this is Peter Vermeersch..That sounds like the coolest thing Lenny Kravitz ever did

Wed. 11/21/07 11:46am From: Ken

efd, I'm checking and I havent received that link yet...

Wed. 11/21/07 11:51am From: Sara

Nerdy commenting interface interlude -- it would be grand if that fabulous pause/resume link were at the bottom of the comments list as well as the top at all times (i.e., not just in pause mode). And I join the chorus of appreciative voices, it is a most handy feature!

Wed. 11/21/07 11:52am From: Mark

I'll second Sara's suggestion

Wed. 11/21/07 11:53am From: efd

hm, I wonder if it got flagged as spam? Just tried sending it again; if it still doesn't show up I will try posting it here.

Wed. 11/21/07 11:56am From: efd

oops, i guess there's not enough time anyway, I didn't realize it was almost 12 already. oh well, there's always next year!

Wed. 11/21/07 11:57am From: Helen

That pause-update would be handy on the playlist as well-- I hate when I'm perusing it and it flips to the top. But that's a minor complaint-- the show is great, the playlist feature is great, and the comments are great too. What am I complaining about?

Wed. 11/21/07 12:00pm From: Ken

Thanks for the comments everybody, have a great holiday if you get one. I will be posting that September 11th on the blog later today for your remixing pleasure.

Thu. 11/22/07 7:36am From: spaz

hey KENDO awesome goodies going to do it again turkey day
