Wed. 11/19/08 9:04am From: Ken

Wed. 11/19/08 9:05am From: John from Oslo

Hello North Korea, and Sweden!

Wed. 11/19/08 9:07am From: Parq

"Kim Jog Il Sleestak Diptych" would be a good name for a band. Okay, maybe not.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:10am From: Ken

I've been in bed with a flu the last two days and I didn't know how I would make it through the show today but being here with you all gives me hope that I will make it.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:11am From: gumby

Nice art Ken!
Ken could you play a couple of hours of J. Geils "Detroit Breakdown" in honor of the "Motor City Shakedown, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" that we are going to have to shell out to keep yet more US based mega-businesses unproductive and non-competitive. I feel it would be appropriate.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:13am From: Bad Ronald

You're in good hands Ken.

...I am still in awe of the velvet masterpiece...

Wed. 11/19/08 9:14am From: Ken

Gotta give big ups to my velvet pusher man Bill, who came up with the idea to frame these two paintings together.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:16am From: Billy Jam

Wed. 11/19/08 9:17am From: Ghengis Jung

Wed. 11/19/08 9:30am From: thelma

I hear echoes of Tiger Lillies" ""Banging in the Nails" in "His Name is Jesus". Could this be the source?

Wed. 11/19/08 9:32am From: cosmic

My Doctor sez: with my bad case of arrhythmia, I shouldn't listen to loud Rock'n'Roll anymore, as it upsets my normal beat. Boo Hoo. Feel better Ken.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:34am From: Ghengis Jung

Wed. 11/19/08 9:43am From: jan

Oh Ken: We wish that you feel better very soon. Are you eating properly,getting enough sleep? You should take care of yourself.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:44am From: Mac

Seriously Ken: Have you thought you might have Lyme's disease?

Wed. 11/19/08 9:45am From: annie

ok is this good or bad:
could not sleep last night so i trolled the youtube archives for artists and songs form various playlists . well, only 30% i could find... ..

Wed. 11/19/08 9:46am From: Ken

It's true, I've been sick way too much lately. I think I have WFMU Program Director disease.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:46am From: GP

Bad Ronald..checked out your videos on YouTube last night...pretty good stuff. Did you record that on an open mic or were you using the built-in mic on the video cam? All of that thrashing sound was too much for it to handle!

Wed. 11/19/08 9:48am From: cosmic

annie, ive been up for 5 hours, had coffee and talk about spirits with an irish red head for most of that. i have no idea how the rest of today will curve but it had better be more a milkshake than a gin! if you get me

hang in there, ken

Wed. 11/19/08 9:49am From: cosmic

bad ronald, whats your youtubes under?

Wed. 11/19/08 9:51am From: annie

cosmic i dig

Wed. 11/19/08 9:51am From: bbell

up til midnight looking for a fill-in?! . . . and yet, you still sit at the controls to keep your people happy! When you're done at 12, immediately get yourself some chicken soup and then go under the covers until Thanksgiving.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:53am From: cosmic

im watching bad ronald the movie clips on youtube to this song and it really fits.

annie, sur thing

Wed. 11/19/08 9:53am From: GP

mmmmm. Irish red head

Annie...OK, you have officially passed the geek test of which I instituted! I actually email the names, etc. of the songs i like back to my home email so that I also can searc hthe Intertubes after hours for videos, mp3's, etc...also hitting about 30-40%...great minds think alike.

Wed. 11/19/08 9:54am From: Bad Ronald

THanks for the kind words GP. It was recorded using the mic on a Canon powershot. No great shakes
cosmic - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=13013C&view=videos

Ken - I like the Banksy piece. Do you know what the occasion was for the Ford pic?

Wed. 11/19/08 9:56am From: annie

whatta riot gp, i sit here madly writing and spelling correctly.... when i'm done i cross off and go to the next. little symbols whether i find them or not, forget the search, try another name.. whoah, i get way too serious... but it's fun

Wed. 11/19/08 9:57am From: Parq

Ken, isn't being over 50 a gas?

Wed. 11/19/08 9:58am From: wha?

Cosmic, I'm scrolling through the comments putting yours together:
You're in an "educational facilitiy"
You're pricing a job randomly (so you're not a teacher)
You've been up half the night with an Irish redhead talking booze (or was it ghosts?)
You're in front of a computer (so you're not in the trades)

So what? I'm going to guess NYC administrator moonlighting as a defense subcontractor.

Am I close?

Wed. 11/19/08 9:59am From: jason

Wed. 11/19/08 10:00am From: Nursey By Nature

Wed. 11/19/08 10:01am From: AnAnonymousParty

Mornin' y'all. All y'all, in fact.

Re the black velvet, I've always had my eye out for a black velvet painting of The Last Supper, with Elvis at the head of the table.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:04am From: Vivian

Good Morning Ken:
Will the WFMU art auction include velvet paintings?

Wed. 11/19/08 10:04am From: listener jeremy

risking looking like someone who hasn't been listening for the whole hour and may have missed some announcement, has anyone noticed that the stream volume is low? windows volume is 100%, winamp 100% and speakers are at 30%, which would normally be really loud. winamp equalizer has lower than normal equalizer levels for the incoming audio...

Wed. 11/19/08 10:06am From: wha?

@AnAnonymous: Pretty sure I've seen this exact scene (Elvis last supper) up on the wall at a Chuy's in Houston.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:06am From: Ken

I aint 50 yet! No velvet paintings in the art auction - go figure! Although I do have a spare Phil Spector,I will ask Doron if we can add it. But my guess is he wont. THat Ford / Preston / Harrison pic is from the White House, 1975.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:07am From: cosmic?

haha, wha? its the coffee. im letting too much info out. i think i said enough already, they dont like me talking too much.
aaaarrrggghhh

no i teach a bit and study a bit in the local college. i use the computers here as a procrastination device from my crimefighting/ghosthunting day job.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:07am From: GP

NurseyByNature...WORD...
Peace out. *two chest pounds and a peace sign*

Wed. 11/19/08 10:08am From: annie

i have to admit, i'm enjoying the sinatra

Wed. 11/19/08 10:10am From: stingy d

i am a listener and i think the fed up talk is great.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:11am From: cosmic

cant i be serious for a minute?!
no, youre way off and spot on al at once wha?

Wed. 11/19/08 10:11am From: -max-

Good morning to all of the Wednesday crew.

Good morning, Ken. Sorry to hear that you are ailing. Nice flavicon you've got there.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:13am From: stingy d

anything named terry gibbs dream band is automatically better than the beatles discography.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:14am From: Ken

Jeremy - Is this drop in volume brand new for today?

Wed. 11/19/08 10:14am From: Ken

Yes, we are live at Maxwells tonight for Seven Sec Delay. Except that I will be dead. But I will be there.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:15am From: annie

Wed. 11/19/08 10:16am From: GP

Ken, been on the windows stream all morning, no problems yet on my end. Levels sound good.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:17am From: -max-

I'm using Winamp v5.11 and the 32k AAC+ stream and the volume seems normal.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:21am From: -max-

Sorry Ken, I hadn't realized the extent of your illness. Have you already written out your eulogy? I'll help with the spelling.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:22am From: Dominick

128k stream playing with iTunes seems OK here

Wed. 11/19/08 10:24am From: Sara

Ditto here - and never mind the jazz, what's this spectacular marching band talkover music?

Wed. 11/19/08 10:25am From: John from Oslo

Wed. 11/19/08 10:26am From: Sara

Wed. 11/19/08 10:45am From: Doug from DC

Since there's several folks from the DC area reading this, I should mention that a friend of mine is hosting a show with Paul Metzger, Tim Kaiser and Michelle Webb playing homemade and hand-modified instruments. Friday @ 1421 Buchanan St. NW DC. Come hear the 18-string banjo and 14-string guitar.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:45am From: Parq

I heard my first in-store Xmas muzak around Election Day (appropriate, I guess, the election results were something of a Christmas present), and saw store Xmas decorations -- this is real -- prior to Halloween.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:46am From: stingy d

sleeping candy sounds fantastic.

Wed. 11/19/08 10:48am From: annie

Wed. 11/19/08 10:49am From: jan

Hey Ken: the signal for the station as received on sonos keeps

Before my connection did its headachey-breaky bit again a while back, I was gonna ask who, in the velvet last supper with Big E., should be the 11 true disciples and one betrayer? Nominations are open. (And does he break and distribute a PB and 'nana sandwich and some cough syrup to the guests?)

Wed. 11/19/08 11:11am From: Joe

45 whole pages of GOD! is far too much for me, thank you.

Wed. 11/19/08 11:12am From: your fan
