So, in case no one's pointed it out this interview with Robert Smigel, http://www.avclub.com/content/interview/robert_smigel , Andy gets mentioned a few times. Oddly enough it always seems like the ideas that Smigel thought may be a bit too mean were Andy's.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:03am From: vicki

lovely

Wed. 6/11/08 9:05am From: jonathan

this song is georgeous!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:05am From: jonathan

that's right...georgeous. i'm an idiot.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:07am From: tuwhitt

nice beat action

Wed. 6/11/08 9:08am From: dj

some about the naive japanese music, that gets me going... fun to try and sing along.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:09am From: -max-

Good morning, everyone. Finally arrived early enough at work to catch the start.

Hello SWEDEN! Oh, and Zatumbo too!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:11am From: Ken

Hi all - still getting settled...

Wed. 6/11/08 9:12am From: Listener Dave

Uh oh

Wed. 6/11/08 9:14am From: Ghengis Jung

Wow.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:20am From: Listener Dave

Is this one of those "melodies" Andy keeps going on about?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:25am From: molerat

Today's co-host: HAL9000.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:26am From: Cecile

I like rock music. And I like pictures of scottie dogs.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:28am From: john

confusion, ken - last week you were naked on the show, and this week you feel naked?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:28am From: Cecile

Willie Nelson wrote that song. Patsy performed it.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:28am From: Ghengis Jung

Willie Nelson _did_ write that song.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:28am From: patsy

willie wrote my biggest hit

Wed. 6/11/08 9:28am From: notyourbagman

gross, ken. you better let us know what happens with that bag.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:28am From: dei xhrist

yay wednesday AM! That ain't my {evidence} against your office door. At least it's still fresh.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:30am From: dlroth

you can always replace any train whistle with some FLIPPER

Wed. 6/11/08 9:30am From: Listener Dave

Wait, did Willie Nelson write Crazy? Somebody tell me!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:31am From: Willie Nelson

I wrote 'Crazy'!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:33am From: Patsy Cline

I wrote 'Get Your Freak On'

Wed. 6/11/08 9:34am From: Scottie Dog

Och, this is the worst Scottie dog site I've ever seen!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:34am From: Listener Dave

So Flipper wrote Crazy and Patsy Cline covered Get Your Freak on with Willie Nelson. Do I have that right?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:34am From: Crazy

I'm Willie

Wed. 6/11/08 9:34am From: Cecile

Yes, but we still don't know who left the severed head in front of Ken's door.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:35am From: cribley

Dave, he did. Sadly I cannot find a video of him singing it with shorn face.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:35am From: Ken

I think you are all mistaken. I think Carol King wrote Crazy. And I was not naked on the show last week - that's disgusting! I was naked on Nachum's show - my show handt even begun yet.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:37am From: Carol King

I didn't write Crazy, but I did leave a bloody wet white bag outside your door.

Call me.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:38am From: vicki

"Noel Boggs" HA HA HA

Wed. 6/11/08 9:39am From: Cecile

This show is more fun than a dog and a Roomba:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVyArmEASuc

Wed. 6/11/08 9:40am From: Ken

Does Boggs have some kind of British
"Bobs Youre Uncle" meaning Vicki? Please let the rest of the class know what's so god damned funny.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:40am From: Doug

Oh shit, Mojo!! \m/

Wed. 6/11/08 9:41am From: Cecile

ZOMG - Mojo!!!!!!!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:41am From: Doug

I just edited his wikipedia entry the other day. It's still a little sloppy.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:42am From: Ghengis Jung

I'm afraid! Save me from the MIDNITE FUNK!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:42am From: cribley

Did he say 'smurph on your back'?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:42am From: Cecile

What is Mojo up to these days?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:43am From: vicki

I just don't thinkhaving "Boggs" as a surname really starts you off so well in life. And to then call your son "Noel" on top of that, imagine. Plus he was probably born on Christmas Day so only got one lot of presents a year

Wed. 6/11/08 9:46am From: mila kunis fan

g'morning ken & everybody,funk is grooooooooovy!!!! i'm just gettin started---yall gonna see alot of me later this morn. i'm now a full fledged member of the funk association!!

Wed. 6/11/08 9:46am From: scott

Thanks - I grew up in detroit during the early 80's --I had forgot about the quality of radio we had at the time.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:50am From: Listener Dave

So Noel Boggs wrote "Get Your Freak On" with Carole King and left a severed head in front of Ken's office door. Do I have that right?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:50am From: jtm

so who is going to the seven second delay party tonight?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:50am From: fishmonkeystew

Good Morning Ken!! I was wondering, wass there any relation between Dock Boggs and Noel Boggs?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:51am From: Ken

I think Mojo has retired. We should track him down and get him on WFMU at least for a guest slot.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:52am From: vicki

Yes, they had the same surname

Wed. 6/11/08 9:52am From: Cecile

That would be awesome, Ken.

"Remember when you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot in the end and HANG ON!"

Wed. 6/11/08 9:52am From: Ghengis Jung

Speaking of Carol King, and hitting:

Wed. 6/11/08 9:54am From: kham

Krysta NOW! The Future will be even more futuristic then we ever imagined.

Wed. 6/11/08 9:54am From: lexray

Satanicpornocultshop/ get your freak on ..that on any cd?

Wed. 6/11/08 9:55am From: Negator

'Teen Horniness' is answering alot of old questions, Ken! Thanks for setting me free! Now, what were that nannys digitz.......

Wed. 6/11/08 9:57am From: dc pat

you could probably improve any song by adding Prado's "Uh!"s to it

Wed. 6/11/08 10:00am From: dei x

Prado is perfect for people watching. There's always someone moving to a matching beat.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:02am From: vicki

The Satanicpornocultshop album I believe is called Orochi Under The Straight Edge Leaves.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:02am From: Doug

Where is my whammy cloth

Wed. 6/11/08 10:04am From: one tanned blonde

ken-please i wanna hear some ohio players. ohhhh ken CHEERS for bringin back iwrin and JEERS for bringin back professor dum dum,,

Wed. 6/11/08 10:06am From: lekray

thanx vicki

Wed. 6/11/08 10:07am From: Bad Ronald

BEATLES!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:08am From: leamington spa jim

Brennan won't like this

Wed. 6/11/08 10:08am From: dc pat

man, do I like this song--like it so much Yellow Sub is the only Beatles album I don't own so I'll never get sick of this song.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:09am From: Listener Dave

This would sound aweosme in Traktor....

Wed. 6/11/08 10:10am From: dc pat

just listen to those DRUMS!!! GO RINGO!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:11am From: sebastian in santiago

first time i hear you play original, un-ironic fabfour material, no mashup, no cover. AND IT IS THE RIGHT SONG!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:14am From: db in T.O.

I believe you are confusing two entirely different Detroit radio DJ's. Electrifying Mojo and Dave Dixon's voices, personalities, and audiences where entirely different. EM was highly produced for black/R&B radio audiences most active in the 1980's, whereas DD's delivery was very dry but full of background info aimed at prog rock audiences on late 60's/early 70's hippy stations like the legendary WABX. Later on in the 90's an aging DD was heard on public radio WDET and "new rock" 89X before he died in the early 2000's.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:14am From: Framinator

I've never understood that song. How can all "the love that's flying all around" be too much to take? Can too much love be a bad thing?

Wed. 6/11/08 10:15am From: Doug

Electrifying Mojo's real name was Charles Johnson.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:16am From: vicki

Charles Boggs Johnson

Wed. 6/11/08 10:16am From: Bad Ronald

Yes, according to Alice Cooper you can "Love it to Death".

Wed. 6/11/08 10:16am From: Arthur Jensen

Play some Flipper!

Is that clear Mr. Beale!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:17am From: Laurie

Good morning, Ken. Did you hear about McCain's balls?

http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,3194.0.html

Wed. 6/11/08 10:19am From: bonnie swanson

PLEASE play more beatles rock on ken!!!=)

Wed. 6/11/08 10:20am From: Ken

db - I think you may be confusing Detroit with Noel Boggs. I stand by my error.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:20am From: spaniel

ken, if all else fails, have Andy play the "don't say no" game. that NEVER gets old and it worked last time in public.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:20am From: Negator

Bonzo Doo Dah Dog Band!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:21am From: Snark

yes, please play more beatles. while you are at it, please change your call letters to WAXQ. please leave you keys with jim kerr on your way out.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:21am From: Bad Ronald

"My Pink Half of the Drainpipe"

Wed. 6/11/08 10:22am From: Laurie

Yes, I find your horrible band name extremely offensive.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:22am From: SueB

this show is exploiting my coffee buzz

Wed. 6/11/08 10:23am From: Bad Ronald

"Lookout There's a Monster Coming"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLdA4zKp-00

Wed. 6/11/08 10:24am From: Kamil

Hey, thans for a good show, Ken. Where does this Au Paris' song come from? I can't find much info about them!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:26am From: Negator

lOVE THAT VID bAD rONALD! lOOK OUT!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:26am From: Jim Kerr

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Ken, and I won't have it. Is that clear?

Now go out there and give us some Flipper

Wed. 6/11/08 10:29am From: Dickdong

What's all this Beatles stuff? I want to hear something I haven't heard before - which is almost everything you play.
However I wouldn't mind hearing Yoko Ono 'Paper Shoes' again.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:30am From: Bad Ronald

Me too Negator - It cracks me up everytime!!!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:33am From: C

That movie can't be worse than Southland Tales--the movie that features the teen horniness song

Wed. 6/11/08 10:33am From: Scott Muni

Aaarrggg!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:35am From: efd

good for you, Ken! I too refuse to speak that band's name aloud.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:35am From: Listener Mike in California

Ken's time slot makes getting to work on Wednesday something to look forward to. The music selection reminds me that good, compelling radio is not dead. Thanks Ken. P.S. I love the "freak out moments" when you start yelling and ranting (or maybe it's just how you like to run down the playlist). Cheers.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:35am From: johN

I've got ants in my pants, and not in a good way.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:35am From: spaniel

bad ronald, that video is so ridiculous. i love it. i think i just heard this on scott williams show recently followed by an amazing song about "little rosa".

Wed. 6/11/08 10:38am From: kamil

Ken, what's the name of the John Peel compilation again?

Wed. 6/11/08 10:39am From: Negator

A peck on the cheek does it for me!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:39am From: dei x

the best radio is the radio that carries on despite the listener.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:40am From: Bad Ronald

Way cool, thanks Spaniel.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:43am From: bwalker

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssseeee let me know

I like the way that sounds on the radio

Wed. 6/11/08 10:44am From: one tanned blonde

ken--i never even heard of TATU whut kind of music do they play?? well this is my last comment of the week i gotta work more on my tan. see you next week. this show is ALWAYS grooovy,,love u lots=)=)=) keep rockin!!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:44am From: -max-

I just have to say that the playlist comment box successfully satisfies most of the void left by the death of the message board. The blather box less so.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:45am From: kamil

TATU are teenager russian lesbians playing nice songs and singing in russian.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:47am From: Ken

Egad - Sorry if I blew out anybody's eardrums right there!!! It's not my fault!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:48am From: Ken

Whatchyou talking about, bwalker?

Wed. 6/11/08 10:48am From: Bill O

Ken, do what I do....DO IT LIVE

Wed. 6/11/08 10:48am From: bwalker

I liked the way the 'please let me know' comment sounded on the radio - the computer sounded so sad and desperate!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:50am From: Listener Dave

Hello Larry starred McLean Stevenson. He's dead now, which is probably why he sounds so desperate on his messages to Ken. Which also explains the bag of meat, I suppose.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:52am From: Bill O

First time commenter, fourth time listener, and have got to say that this is the easily the fifth best show on WFMU

Wed. 6/11/08 10:52am From: cribley

Barry never sounded so good.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:52am From: Henry

What was the cool choir-ish music behind the "i can send these titles" part?

Wed. 6/11/08 10:53am From: Ike

Who else has no power? Thanks to FMU for entertaining me via Walkman and car radio last night when I had nothing else to do (besides reading an old paperback by flashlight). Even the movie theater -- four towns over in Clifton -- was closed last night. Fortunately Neawrk didn't get hit as badly as Belleville and Nutley.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:54am From: Cecile

You listened to more than five shows, right?

I think it was the Chi-Lites, "have you seen her"

Wed. 6/11/08 10:54am From: Toni Daytona

now this is real SOUL music.....You can feel the soul in that voice. The sort of musci EFD might play

Wed. 6/11/08 10:54am From: Ghengis Jung

Is this the Swedish Chef?

Wed. 6/11/08 10:56am From: Cecile

I love Southern college marching bands SO MUCH!

Wed. 6/11/08 10:57am From: cribley

That picture is begging for "enhancement".

Wed. 6/11/08 10:57am From: Adrian in London

This marching band music has roused me from a post-lunch slump.

Wed. 6/11/08 10:57am From: dei x

Hey Ike, that actually sounds like a fun vacation. Provided the temperature was tolerable and you were some place dry.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:00am From: Negator

Larry......

Wed. 6/11/08 11:01am From: Ghengis Jung

I am so depressed.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:01am From: dc pat

anybody notice how much this tune sounds like the theme from You Only Live Twice? anybody notice they were both written by JOHN BARRY. It also reminds me of a Beach Boys tune that is escaping me right now....

Wed. 6/11/08 11:03am From: Ike

Dei X: Nope, I love on the third floor of my building, so even after the storm cooled things off, it remained about 90 or 95 in my apt., esp. without fans to help ventilate. Tried to sleep in my car, but it's not comfy enough. Driving through mazes of downed branches and power lines in Belleville and Nutley was an adventure though.

Do they make battery-powered fans in a big huge size?

Wed. 6/11/08 11:05am From: dc pat

guess I was thinking of Warmth of the Sun by the BBs

Wed. 6/11/08 11:08am From: Ghengis Jung

'Warmth of the Sun' was covered by Brian Wilson's father, Murray, on "The Many Moods of Murray Wilson"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Many_Moods_of_Murry_Wilson

Wed. 6/11/08 11:14am From: Laurie

Oooooh, this is the song from the naked video.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:15am From: Doug

I'm feeling all 80s-ish

Wed. 6/11/08 11:15am From: Negator

Chin up Ghengis. Depression is the new Happy! 21st Century welcomes you!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:19am From: Cecile

Ghengis, I saw you in the trailer for that movie Mongol. Lookin' good!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:19am From: Ghengis Jung

thanks negator...
hurray!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:19am From: Laurie

JULIO?!?!!!!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:24am From: billyjam

hey Ken - thanks for playing Jinx Lennon - great show today!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:25am From: Laurie

Hello, Ken.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:27am From: Raj

Hey, buddy. Sorry I'm late.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:28am From: Ypsilanti Doug

If there are going to be two Dougs, we'll have to identify ourselves.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:28am From: Andy in Berlin

Hey are you going to be taking calls on SSD tonight? I'm so bummed that I'm 6 timezones away from the party!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:33am From: Doug of Canada

There ya go

Wed. 6/11/08 11:33am From: dei x

Andy, you & me can have our own little time/space isolated SSD parties. Spinsterbation!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:35am From: Ken

No Andy, no calls tonight. Sorry!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:35am From: JJZ

Ah, I like this song, with the pops and whistles and all.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:38am From: Andy in Berlin

I'm not surprised, but I was hoping. I'll be rooting for you, though!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:41am From: Raj

Oh, I thought my days of rooting for people having parties from far away were over...

THEY PULL ME BACK IN!!!

Wed. 6/11/08 11:46am From: Laurie

Oh, Miss Bardot. Je t'aime.

Wed. 6/11/08 11:48am From: Laurie

I hear my favorite Serge song sampled! Bonnie and Clyde!

Wed. 6/11/08 1:39pm From: Tim Wink

Tatu are definitely not lesbians, but they're Russian, which is interesting enough without having to pretend to be something they're not.

Wed. 6/11/08 2:25pm From: Listener Dave

Tim Wink! TIm Wink of the Tim Wink Memorial Train Whistle????

Wed. 6/11/08 7:47pm From: Tim Wink

The same!

Laurie - Minneapolis is a great city to see Melt Banana play in. They once broke the 7th St Entry's attendance record, which had up until then been held by Babes in Toyland.

Thu. 6/12/08 9:35pm From: ozzy skateboard
