Ivor cutler, a member of the ancient philosophical school of Stoicism if ever there was one! Saw him in Greenwich UK once upon a time.

Morning GP

Wed. 10/22/08 9:10am From: Brian C.

Whoever thought of the only playing 45s is a genius! We love to have our DJs suffer for their art. But speaking of art, I guess no time for photos on the playlist?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:11am From: Ypsi

Greetings, potentates!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:11am From: Ken

Yeah sorry, taking the week off of photos so I can concentrate more on the shorter songs...

Wed. 10/22/08 9:14am From: Negator

Wed. 10/22/08 9:15am From: Negator

Wed. 10/22/08 9:15am From: john from oslo

Wed. 10/22/08 9:18am From: JCityJensen

Wed. 10/22/08 9:19am From: GP

Wed. 10/22/08 9:20am From: Bad Ronald

Wed. 10/22/08 9:21am From: Negator

Do you have a stack of gay gene Alexander Julian 7" in there? Pastel plaids?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:22am From: Parq

I spend 15 minutes booting up my crummy old laptop (the bride has the good one), only to find I'm six hours behind on comments. Let it roar, chief!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:23am From: john from oslo

Any chance for a green or maybe a red 45?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:23am From: GP

Now howzabout some of the actual Sonics?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:24am From: Lizardner Dave

Oh God, corn weenie isn't a 7", is it? Too late, it's already in my head!

On the ceiling!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:24am From: Ken

A green seven inch coming up!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:25am From: Bad Ronald

Prove it!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:25am From: Ypsi

Hell yeah, go Michigan.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:26am From: Ken

Hello Ypsitucky!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:27am From: john from oslo

Oh by golly - those green 7" are soooo groovy!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:27am From: Ypsi

Hey now.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:28am From: Ken

That's OK Ypsi - That's what they called it when I worked there, at WEMU.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:30am From: Ypsi

I lived in AA for a while but got sick of all the entitled assholes. Ypsi rocks. Have you been back by recently?

WCBN is still awesome but they need a new mic. And they air that awful Amy Goodman program.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:30am From: Billy jam

This and every seven inch record (Singles Going Steady) WFMU show this week have been really really enjoyable. Major props to Mike Lupica for the idea!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:31am From: Bad Ronald

I concur Mr. Jam - Can't wait for your slot...

Wed. 10/22/08 9:36am From: Billy Jam

PS the only seven inch single that didn't do it for me was the fourth one played by Ken this morning by Nodzzz because I think it sends a negative message -:)

Wed. 10/22/08 9:36am From: dc pat

Love the music this week. It's like watching only black and white movies. Beautiful.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:37am From: Cecile

Hey, I'm a former WCBNer.
I left AA because NO JOBS.
I remember Ken well!
Radio minus one!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:38am From: Cecile

hell, i missed City Slang. BAHHHHHH

The Fall did some killer singles, got any around?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:38am From: Ken

Hi Cecile! Wow!! Radio Minus One... I left Ann Arbor because I knew if I didnt leave then (1982), then I would still be there now!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:39am From: GP

Cecile, Ken,

Zingermans delivers if you miss that place

Wed. 10/22/08 9:40am From: dc pat

YES, Kill for Peace!!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:40am From: Cecile

LOL! I kind of had to do that, too.

Ypsi, AA is weird. Some things are the same like ZIngers (I order from them a lot), and my former employer Wazoo Records, but there's a lot of chain weirdness in that town now. Feels different.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:40am From: Bad Ronald

THE FUGS ARE KILLIN IT!!!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:40am From: Ypsi

Zingerman's is pretty overrated if you ask me. I'm happy for them and everything, but $18 for a reuben?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:41am From: Negator

Did DK cover this Kill for Peace song?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:42am From: GP

10-4 on that Ypsi, still, they do make a pretty fine sandwich, but only if you have an AA income!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:43am From: Cecile

I love their food, but I wait for sales. and ask for the Magic Brownies for Christmas.
Yeah, I get sticker shock there. It was spendy even back then. Still, them brownies.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:43am From: dc pat

Man, Negator, I don't think so but they should have!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:44am From: Cecile

you know it totally informed "Kill the Poor" The DKs are definitely their spiritual descendants.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:44am From: Richard

oh man, between The Fugs and that John Dowie track, this show is on fire!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:44am From: Diggzoid

Ken, What happened to the old vote for anything page?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:45am From: john from oslo

Candyman!!!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:45am From: Ypsi

This one? http://wfmu.org/cgi-bin/vfa.pl

Wed. 10/22/08 9:46am From: Cecile

OH! Ken, do you have the Cult Heroes?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:46am From: Bad Ronald

Hey Ken can you follow Sammy with the Dickies "Where'd His Eye Go"? PLEASE

Wed. 10/22/08 9:46am From: Negator

Candy Man?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:46am From: Gigantor

just because they are singles doesn't mean you have to play 'em at 45!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:47am From: Cecile

Ken, do the old WCBN thing and speed it up to 1,000,000 RPM...

Wed. 10/22/08 9:48am From: Ypsi

Also, Ypsi has way better bands than Ann Arbor. And there's no good place to play in AA either.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:48am From: Diggzoid

Speaking of Michigan Ken, did you know the DJ Michigan Mom, she was always on the Case Western station in Cleveland. Boy was she obsessed w/ Howard Devoto! Anyone know if she's still DJing?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:48am From: Barney

Straight-edge a capella (the only kind I like, besides dokaka)

Wed. 10/22/08 9:48am From: Ken`

Forgot the Cult Heroes, or the Cunteeros, as we used to call them!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:48am From: Negator

Jud Jud is early Zatumba?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:49am From: Ghengis Jung

This is brilliant!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:49am From: Cecile

LOL! Yeah, American Sto-RAY

Wed. 10/22/08 9:49am From: Bad Ronald

Isn't Iggy from AA?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:50am From: Ypsi

Iggy's from Ypsilanti. As is Phyllis Diller.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:50am From: barney

Play the Xback-masking songX! (please?)

Wed. 10/22/08 9:51am From: Diggzoid

no Ypsi, the one w/ 100,000s of votes on it.... This has been rigged folks don't trust the Diebold/FMU tyrants!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:51am From: Cecile

Pittsfield Township.
Between Ypsi and AA

He used to work at a store I worked at - about 16 yrs before.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:51am From: Negator

Jud Jud is Zatumba before he sold out right? Early 80's Zatumba when he had a partner and did drugs, eh?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:52am From: Cecile

I thought Pittsfield Twp. Oh, well. Close enough.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:53am From: Bad Ronald

Did any of you ever catch an Iguanas show out there?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:53am From: Jacob

it's the ACAPOCALYPSE! NOOOOOOOOOO!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:54am From: Cecile

I was like five, so unfortunately no.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:54am From: Bad Ronald

I figured as much but just thought I'd ask... tx

Wed. 10/22/08 9:55am From: Lizardner Dave

No Jacob, it's just Apocalyptober!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:55am From: Cecile

I wish, though.
I don't even think he came through more than once the whole six years I lived there.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:55am From: wha?

Plastic Dan...

Wed. 10/22/08 9:56am From: paul

i was wondering if it was possible for steely dan to make me feel even more nauseous. now i know!

Wed. 10/22/08 9:57am From: fishmonkeystew

WFMU continuously renews my faith in music and radio in general. 45's forever!!! Thanks, Ken. So far, this has been my favorite week on WFMU since I started listening about a year ago. And I used to think that radio sucked. Who knew?

Wed. 10/22/08 9:58am From: Ypsi

When I was on WBNY someone called and got all histrionic at me for taking off songs halfway through.

Wed. 10/22/08 9:58am From: sloane

How is it that we can recognize "Back Jack" from the very first beat even when it's at such a fucked up speed? Is this a beneficial ability?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:01am From: Bad Ronald

synchronicity

Wed. 10/22/08 10:01am From: R. P.

It's like "name that tune," I've known people that could identify huge numbers of songs from the first few notes or beats. It's an ability some have developed better than others.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:02am From: Cecile

it's the magic of Michael McDonald and his magic organ. Then he went on to make the Doobie Brothers worse, I mean magic.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:07am From: Lou

Hey GM Freedman Man...you read my mind!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:07am From: ?

It's hard to get any work done with a show this good.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:09am From: Ken

Vote For Anything is back up and Zatumba and Larry could use some love:

http://wfmu.org/cgi-bin/vfa.pl

Just sayin...

Wed. 10/22/08 10:10am From: Cecile

gottafindawomangottafindawomangottafindawoman

Wed. 10/22/08 10:12am From: GP

Nervous Norvus "Ape Call" next?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:13am From: Negator

Wed. 10/22/08 10:13am From: Cecile

I'LL SOCK IT TO YA BABY

Wed. 10/22/08 10:14am From: Bad Ronald

The Jimmy Castor Bunch did rule!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:15am From: bb

took me more than 3 notes to remember what te jimmy castor bunch song was..

Wed. 10/22/08 10:15am From: Negator

My uncle used to sing that song to me in the 70's when I was a kid. Then Uncle Jay went to jail for a long time....

Wed. 10/22/08 10:16am From: jan

Hey Ken- ya gonna play apache by Jorgen what's his last name. You are the only dj that I had heard play that since the 60's, I'd guess.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:17am From: JCityJensen

natural Atoning fun!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:18am From: GP

I had it SOOOOOO bad for Tina Weymouth..just sayin.
Thanks Ken for the TTC!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:18am From: mouse

'say it'
gets me EVERY time

Wed. 10/22/08 10:19am From: TTTTT

Love to the 45 and week of.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:19am From: annie

Wed. 10/22/08 10:19am From: paul

bohannon! bohannon! bohannon! bohannon!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:19am From: Cecile

TTC also = trying to conceive in Interweb talk

Wed. 10/22/08 10:19am From: Negator

Me too, GP. My friends used to call me a queer for liking Tom Tom Club more than Maiden.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:20am From: Negator

I guess I was wearing alot of make-up at the time

Wed. 10/22/08 10:22am From: GP

Negator, screw them...I'd rather hang out with the Talking Heads any day..
Cecile..DID not know that one..too funny.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:25am From: GP

Ahhhh....Henny.....This is some funny shiznit.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:26am From: JCityJensen

where did you find the Henny?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:27am From: Cecile

tell me you have Rappin' Rodney...

ah, nothing says AA in the early 80s like Atomic Dog

Wed. 10/22/08 10:27am From: fishmonkeystew

Speaking of the Talking Heads, I just got tickets to see David Byrne and Brian Eno at the Calvin Theater in Northampton, MA in December. Wooooohoooo!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:27am From: Parq

Take my funk, please.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:28am From: Negator

I was at a wedding recently and the DJ spun 'Atomic Dog'. The place went crazy! I saw a lady dancing in a leg cast! As for myself, I got stoopid old school....

Wed. 10/22/08 10:28am From: Bad Ronald

Ha Parq!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:28am From: GP

This is my daughters favorite song. I have it on vinyl and its almost worn out.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:29am From: Ike

All right! "Atomic Dog!" Yeah!

Negator, now *that* is a decent wedding DJ. And that's rare.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:29am From: annie

any fat boys on 7" ?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:30am From: annie

that looks funny..

Wed. 10/22/08 10:30am From: GP

fishmonkey..THAT is going to be a great show.

2nd the FATBOYs request.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:32am From: ?

Beatles! Yes!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:32am From: milo

yeah, a third for the Fat Boys. "Don't Dog Me"

Wed. 10/22/08 10:33am From: Mark

I'm afraid that Mr Eno is not touring with David Byrne

Wed. 10/22/08 10:33am From: R. P.

Is Eno playing this tour, or is it just David Byrne?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:34am From: Faust Gertz

Request for 'Eugene Goes To School' by Crazy Joe & The Variable Speed Band

Wed. 10/22/08 10:34am From: R. P.

It looks like my question was answered before I even asked it.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:35am From: GP

RP,
Thats a fast interweb connection!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:35am From: paul

welcome to schlagers...

Wed. 10/22/08 10:36am From: Ypsi

Don't - you - dog - me: a-huh-huh-huh

Wed. 10/22/08 10:38am From: Negator

A Beatles song I don't know.....

Wed. 10/22/08 10:39am From: Parq

Montreal Canada Blues! Oh man, I've been meaning for weeks to ask Irwin to play this. You just made my day!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:40am From: ?

http://myfavouritesound.blogspot.com/2007/08/gladiators-music-makers-from-jamaica.html

Wed. 10/22/08 10:42am From: Negator

Oh, Magoo, you've done it again!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:42am From: Wendy del Formaggio

Oh goodness. Jim Backus sounds so creepy on this record.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:43am From: Vivian

Mr. Howell is creeping me out..Where is Lovey to keep him in line?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:44am From: Cecile

wow, what did Mr Howell put in that wine? PCP?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:44am From: Parq

Oh LSD, you've done it again.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:46am From: GP

Dang Ken, Are you having a breakfast buffet up there? This is going to be the longest play-list ever.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:47am From: Cecile

And girls, and boys, this song is why absinthe was outlawed for so long....

Wed. 10/22/08 10:48am From: annie

cecile, we have an absinthe brewer here in upstae and boy is it delicious

Wed. 10/22/08 10:50am From: fishmonkeystew

Good call, Mark, Mr. Eno is not touring with David Byrne-I got ahead of myself a little. But a David Byrne show nonetheless! He is on my list of performers I must see before I die. Now only if Tom Waits would come a little closer to Connecticut.....

Wed. 10/22/08 10:50am From: Cecile

My friend used to brew it as well. I will have to try it someday.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:51am From: Bad Ronald

I never had either but sure would like too...

Wed. 10/22/08 10:52am From: Ken

How many songs we up to?

Wed. 10/22/08 10:52am From: annie

once she gets up and running with distributors, i think she will start to ship in small batches.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:53am From: Parq

I've never had either, but I have had ether. Whoa. (Come . . . back . . . here . . . you . . . rab- . . . -bit . . .)

Wed. 10/22/08 10:53am From: ?

36 - feet and rising

Wed. 10/22/08 10:55am From: Mark

Tom Waits rigourously avoids CT.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:55am From: Bad Ronald

Hah Parq, I love Bugs Bunny!!

Wed. 10/22/08 10:56am From: paul

funny... i'm from CT and i rigourously avoid tom waits.

Wed. 10/22/08 10:57am From: Keili

Awesome Show! I'll see you in a little while!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:00am From: Mort

Did you ever hear the Notwist's first album from like 1991? Hariy metal-grunge stuff. That group switched their sound and style more time than Moby or Madonna.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:00am From: Ypsi

I just heard it recently on FMU. I had heard that they had sounded like that, but I had no idea of the extent.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:02am From: R. P.

Fishmonkeystew - it will never beat the Fear of Music tour. But have fun, anyway. I'm thinking of getting tickets for the DC show.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:02am From: heaven

play the most colorful one! God has spoken!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:03am From: Ike

Faust! Faust! Faust!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:03am From: Faust Gertz

Play the Faust!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:03am From: jk

the twins!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:03am From: mouse

MUNI!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:03am From: heaven,jesus and lots of dead people

play some fat boys or some flipper but do not play Mariah Carey

Wed. 10/22/08 11:04am From: Brian C.

Schmaltzy Patriotic raps!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:04am From: fishmonkeystew

can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can!!!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:04am From: GP

Bring it Ken

Wed. 10/22/08 11:04am From: BZ

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:04am From: Parq

"Sparky" sounds good. And you can't go wrong with "Bind Man's Thingy".

Wed. 10/22/08 11:05am From: Torbjørn from Haugesund

Faust .. and then Can! .. Let's go all Krautrock 45's!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:06am From: Bad Ronald

Sex Bomb Baby!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:07am From: GP

mmmmmmm, Mariah Carey, believe it or not all of my Metal band mates absolutely LOVE her, and not in an ironic way,...but I really think it is more HER than her music.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:07am From: bear swamp

some grizzly adams

Wed. 10/22/08 11:08am From: Bad Ronald

I love her cuz she's as nutty as a fruitcake!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:08am From: GP

10-4 on that Bad Ronald

Wed. 10/22/08 11:10am From: Ypsi

I always want there to be more things played backwards. Do your turntables go backwards? Playing a shitty top-40 song backwards cancels out one spin of said record on top-40 radio, you know.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:11am From: GP

Another song added to the "gotta find it" list.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:12am From: m p

play one of the 2 Stax 45's you brought along.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:17am From: Timbo

Jesus & Mary Chain ?

Wed. 10/22/08 11:17am From: Cecile

SINGLE GENERIC FLIPPER please.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:18am From: Parq

GP, whenever I've looked at a cheesecake photo of Mariah, I've always shaken my head in wonder. Apparently, I'm supposed to say, "Oh my God, looking at a woman like that makes me want to . . . want to . . . listen to her sing!!"

Wed. 10/22/08 11:19am From: Wendy del Formaggio

Now I know why they call it the "dump" button. Har har.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:21am From: GP

Ken!!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:23am From: Ghengis Jung

@Wendy del Formaggio:

Wed. 10/22/08 11:23am From: seb

i'm a-scared!

Wed. 10/22/08 11:23am From: g

no joke, this is the first time I've heard a Mariah Carey song. Never thought it would be on FMU. . . Thanks, Ken. Thanks a lot.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:23am From: bb

a friend of mine used to work in a&r at arista and has a great story about mariah emrging from the elevator around the holiday time carrying a lamb and trailing another 2 behind her. these wre evidently gifts for her sales team...

Great show, thanks Ken! And I'm somewhat surprised at how the time has flown by - only 20 minutes left.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:42am From: Vicki

ah yes, GP - saw that on the fmu blog the other day! My favourite A-ha songs are the cover versions by both Rank Sinatra and also Dictionaraoke. Not that anybody cares

Wed. 10/22/08 11:42am From: Bad Ronald

In Northeastern Pennsylvania, a.k.a. The Land That Time Forgot, they would STILL refer to this music as "that New Wave crap".

Wed. 10/22/08 11:45am From: Ike

Is this a 33 rpm Stereolab 7" played at 45? I like this much better than most Stereolab songs.

Ken has played that Mariah track before. A few times. Parq, agreed on Mariah. Mmmm, cheesecake.

Wed. 10/22/08 11:45am From: GP

Vicki that is cool.I can get the FMU music stream but not the blog at my office so I did not see that they had posted it. Weird stuff indeed

John, I think you might be surprised to hear those sentiments expressed in many other regions as well!

Did Walter Brennan grow up as a Dickensian street urchin?

Wed. 10/22/08 11:55am From: Lou

I like this Tim Wilson song, and I haven't even heard a minute of it. Any love song named "Help Me Find Jimmy Hoffa" appeals to me.

Thu. 10/23/08 1:43pm From: Jeff M

Holy crap, I totally remember "Troglodyte" from back in the day. I don't remember who was playing it, but I heard it a lot. Was it actually being played on mainstream commercial radio, I mean not necessarily even in the novelty-song ghetto?

Fri. 10/24/08 12:18pm From: Jeff M

Damn and blast. I woke up this morning with "McCain-Palin Tradition" running through my head, and that's so many kinds of wrong I can't count them all.
