You have a sexy voice Phyllis! Yeah, baby....

Wed. 4/1/09 9:06am From: JJZ

Ah, today's Amazon MP3 special is pretty compelling. William Shatner's Transformed Man for 99 cents.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:06am From: Cecile

Hey I go by the Cleary School for the Deaf all the time

Wed. 4/1/09 9:11am From: dei x

If she was capable of killing her parents, she obviously killed Ken. If you meet the buddah, you must kill the buddah to truly walk in Mu......sic

Wed. 4/1/09 9:11am From: AnAnonymousParty

Hi y'all, wow is is 4/1 already?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:12am From: gecko

Wed. 4/1/09 9:13am From: Parq

And Phyl (nobody said I couldn't call her Phyl), somebody's gotta say it so I might as well get it out of the way -- what about Wegmans?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:14am From: Cecile

I'm a shiksha, but I know from gribenes.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:14am From: Don

Ken made the tough move, but the right move. I used to listen to Grandma Phyllis's "Post-War Levittown Big Band Hour" on the old WINS. Amazing her voice hasn't changed that much!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:14am From: Cecile

and chopped liver!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:14am From: Lysergic Poutine

OMGWTFLOL

Post your picture to the playlist, please, Grandma Phyllis. Be my multi-media Bubbie.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:16am From: listener mark

I want to complain.
You people are a complete disappointment.
They don't sell proper biscuits in this neighborhood. no ginger pops, no sugar creams

Wed. 4/1/09 9:16am From: Lizardner Dave

HOW ABOUT WEGMANS??????

Wed. 4/1/09 9:16am From: Lysergic Poutine

Wed. 4/1/09 9:17am From: Negator

I'll get you for this, Ken! This is not a joke anymore....... You've gone too far!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:17am From: Mark

Wow!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:18am From: Mooose

Grandma Phyllis is magic!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:18am From: Lysergic Poutine

I've seen this happen in other people's lives, and now it's happening in mine!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:18am From: Dei x

Grandma Phyllis don't need no stinkin cawl screenah! This is a great education for shiksha grams like me in protestant NH.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:19am From: still b/p

- "yum, kippers" -

Purim shot!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:19am From: Ellis

It's like being locked in a nursing home... or reading Duplex Planet!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:19am From: Negator

All slept on her Murphy bed? Is that what she calls it? Why not her Murray bed?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:19am From: Mark

WOW WOW!! that's a double wow!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:19am From: Cecile

travelled like gossip wildfire!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:20am From: Lizardner Dave

It's like Jean Shepherd, but it's a woman from New York instead of a guy from Indiana. Oh, and without Shep's deeply held bitterness.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:20am From: Murray

Band meeting!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:20am From: Lysergic Poutine

...or a Mory bed!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:20am From: JCityJensen

Morning Grandma Phyllis - ask ken what happened to the chainsaw!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:21am From: Lysergic Poutine

Moishe Bed?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:21am From: Cecile

Grandma Phyllis, who's your favorite LES noise band of the 80s?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:21am From: Bob

I envy the deaf student

Wed. 4/1/09 9:22am From: annie

this is kvetching? where is the nasal whiny voice?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:22am From: Bob

And speaking of Deaf...

Wed. 4/1/09 9:22am From: Cecile

I like grandma phyllis.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:23am From: Negator

Phyllis, have you ever been in a threesome? Slept with a Tranny?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:23am From: dei x

How to dominate the sidewalk; walk with your left arm and leg swinging at the same time, instead of left arm-right leg... it's a non verbal signal to steer clear. Also, tuck one pant leg in to your sock. Up to top-calf.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:23am From: Parq

It's a little like the old WNYC's daytime programming.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:23am From: Andy B

Mark: If you don't like Grandma Phyllis, you can GO TO HELL!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:23am From: still b/p

After this, can you play Sarah Jackman by Allan Sherman?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:23am From: dale

Happy April Fools Day, Grandma Phyllis! Is there a regular slot or webcast in your future?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:25am From: annie

Wed. 4/1/09 9:26am From: murray

That's a good lad, Mark! You should take him as an ixample.

No, still, I manage a combo called Flight of the Conchords.
And we have band meetings in my office at the NZ Consulate.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:26am From: annie

Wed. 4/1/09 9:26am From: listener mark

If we have to burn down the city we will find you!!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:26am From: annie

Wed. 4/1/09 9:26am From: gecko

If she plays the Pachelbel canon, there will be blood.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:27am From: murray

And don't pout, b/p. Not in front of the map.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:27am From: Joe

But what IS the comments record?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:27am From: Lizardner Dave

Still present and enjoying it. Can't call in 'cause I'm supposed to be working.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:27am From: Bon Scott

If you want blood, you've got it.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:28am From: murray

Oh, good! good, Lizardner Dave.

So, good news and bad news. Good news first.
Your biscuits came in from the NZ government.

Bad news. Still no gigs.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:29am From: annie

Wed. 4/1/09 9:30am From: PodSean

Sam Raimi SUCKS

Wed. 4/1/09 9:31am From: Cecile

Kampus Kvetching Koncert

Wed. 4/1/09 9:34am From: Cecile

Phyll, bass = promouned BASE.
BASS is what I catch with my dad, and what Napoleon Dynamite gives as a love offering.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:35am From: Joe

They should've called it MEDIEVAL DEAD

Wed. 4/1/09 9:35am From: Freddy: from West Orange Plumbing Supply

Are you serious, Army of Darkness is GARBAGE

Wed. 4/1/09 9:35am From: Robyn Hitchcock

Ba -a- a- a- sss.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:36am From: Negator

So what happened after the show, Phyllis?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:37am From: still b/p

Grandma's gone all Krampus on us.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:37am From: PMD

Andy shoudl call in - that gets Grandma Phyllis going...

Wed. 4/1/09 9:37am From: Cecile

Freddy, we will have to agree to disagree in a civilized way on that one. Especially since you are the one with the plumbing wrenches

Wed. 4/1/09 9:37am From: Lysergic Poutine

This show's really going to sheol!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:37am From: John from Oslo

Hmmm strange, I was just thinking of Dr. Ruth

Wed. 4/1/09 9:38am From: jan

are you Ken's Grandma? If so you should be proud! Such a good boy.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:38am From: Mark

Dr Ruth was a sniper

Wed. 4/1/09 9:39am From: Freddy: from West Orange Plumbing Supply

Cecile, ok

Wed. 4/1/09 9:39am From: Parq

Mrs. Beethoven says, "Don't you realize that I'm your inspiration?"

"You, inspire me!", Beethoven replies, "Don't make me laugh! Hah-hah-hah-haaaaaaah, hah-hah-hah-haaaaaaaah!"

Wed. 4/1/09 9:39am From: nEGATOR

Now I know why Ken had her on! Ken you whore!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:40am From: Cecile

this is amazing.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:40am From: bw

listening with grandkid .. wow

ken what did you do??

Wed. 4/1/09 9:40am From: John from Oslo

Army of Darkness is a great movie. Remember the Boomstick (or as Grandma Phyllis would call it; Boomshtick...

Wed. 4/1/09 9:42am From: Cecile

I know!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:42am From: Negator

I think my sperm have died.....

Wed. 4/1/09 9:43am From: John from Oslo

Wed. 4/1/09 9:44am From: annie

this is very cruel.... very cruel.. are you mrs ken??

Wed. 4/1/09 9:45am From: John from Oslo

A gruesome April first indeed

Wed. 4/1/09 9:46am From: Lysergic Poutine

The Nazis never happened!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:47am From: PMD

Seriously. Maybe I'll go the holocaust museum today to cheer up.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:47am From: Unclear on the concept

So what is she saying, that Hitler's Germany was a bad thing?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:47am From: Lysergic Poutine

There's one in my town!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:48am From: Negator

Do we know how Hitler tied his shoes?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:48am From: Lysergic Poutine

I see, she's turning up the bitterness. Can't we swing in a more "Art Bell" direction?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:48am From: dei x

Humans are such an odd species, what we are capable of doing to each other... anyone got an ETA on the next space borne slab?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:49am From: Lysergic Poutine

We'll be waiting just a lifetime.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:49am From: annie

this is worse than the altered voicebox stuff...

Wed. 4/1/09 9:49am From: Lizardner Dave

@Negator: In little knotsies?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:49am From: Mark

no, how did Hitler tie his shoes? (don't make me sorry I asked)

Wed. 4/1/09 9:50am From: Negator

That's right: Little Nazis! You win!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:52am From: John from Oslo

Corn Chorissa

Wed. 4/1/09 9:52am From: listener mark

We need a happy song,

The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gathered together to greet the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me

Wed. 4/1/09 9:52am From: PMD

I love hearing Grandma say 'gig'

Wed. 4/1/09 9:52am From: Lysergic Poutine

Oy, she's threatening us with 3 hours of this?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:52am From: murray

I did, however, get Grandma Phyllis a gig.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:53am From: Negator

No sense in requesting any Wagner up in that piece, eh?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:54am From: Joe

Wagner yo. Whatup dun.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:54am From: annie

two hours ten minutes left. if texas scott can struggle though this, then HE WINS!!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:54am From: Cecile

Oh, thanks, Nick.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:54am From: Howie58

About Wagner-it is better than it sounds.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:55am From: PMD

Am I a sicko just because I liked the tying shoes joke?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:55am From: Lizardner Dave

When are we going to hear some stories about the good Nazis, like Tom Cruise in that movie?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:56am From: fishmonkeystew

Hmmm, this sounds like a bit more than was expected, no?

Wed. 4/1/09 9:56am From: annie

PMD, i was rotflmao!!!

Wed. 4/1/09 9:56am From: gecko

Uh - Mendelssohn was born, raised, and died Protestant. His father was jewish but converted. The Nazis classified things racially, but they don't always set the best example for us to follow.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:57am From: Negator

The sad thing is that Little Nazis joke is the only one I know. I learned it at the age of 6.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:57am From: JJZ

The music is nice.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:58am From: annie

i wonder how long til they forget to turn the mike off and we get to hear them talk about the little bastards making commnets.

Wed. 4/1/09 9:58am From: Nick (Phyllis' sidekick)

I thought about dressing as Tom Cruise for Halloween. That way, I could be like, "what?! I'm a GOOD Nazi."

Wed. 4/1/09 9:59am From: annie

and parade around with prince william

Wed. 4/1/09 10:00am From: Nick

BTW, I'm reading all of these comments to Phyllis.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:02am From: Cecile

how is she taking them?

Wed. 4/1/09 10:03am From: Nick

Not so well with the tranny one...

Wed. 4/1/09 10:03am From: Negator

Bye, Grandma!

Wed. 4/1/09 10:03am From: Tom

Phyllis, What was the first rock concert that you ever attended?

Wed. 4/1/09 10:03am From: dei x

I look forward to the body of work that will come from the Somali and Bosnian refugees, not to mention the other survivors of broad cultural traumas. Too bad great art can only change a few.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:05am From: Cecile

I'm going to say it again.
J-date

Wed. 4/1/09 10:06am From: PMD

Grandma, though the entire Nachum crowd is listening and is your likely source for a date, I think you scared them off with the April Fool's joke. Maybe if you prove you can cook kosher??

Wed. 4/1/09 10:07am From: PMD

annie, glad I could oblige.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:07am From: still b/p

Maybe the best date-appropriate response would've been a seamless unspoken conspiracy among all commenters: no recognition whatsoever of any difference in the show. "Man, my buttered waffle rocked this morning. And, hey, great set, Ken. Stooges, please."

Wed. 4/1/09 10:08am From: Vernon

Did I fall for an April Fool's Joke, or is the Do or DIY show not happening today?

Wed. 4/1/09 10:08am From: dragonflyshards

Wed. 4/1/09 10:10am From: dc pät

Hi Grandma, don't forget there has been a little catch up going on in the Gaza strip recently. Perhaps you could extend your charity to help Gaza Palestinians rebuild their lives?

Wed. 4/1/09 10:12am From: Vernon Obama

@annie obama- Cousin!!! I'm related to him too!

Wed. 4/1/09 10:12am From: Nick

If you posted a question for Grandma Phyllis, you should call in with it

Wed. 4/1/09 10:14am From: annie

see that is the "funny" uncle who will be trilled.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:14am From: Mark

In a sense aren't we all brothers and sister?

Wed. 4/1/09 10:15am From: still b/p

Exactly, Cecile and FB. On the turbo-normal tip. Operation Cupcake Dog. Nyah-nyah, Nana!

Wed. 4/1/09 10:15am From: dragonflysh

Steve-true...Palestinians have much to kvetch about.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:15am From: Thelma

Au Fond de Temple Saint from Bizet's Pecheurs de Perles is an April Fool's joke for Ken's Show, but you indies rock guys should sit up and listen for a change. If you can't dig this there is something wrong with your soul . Ask Kenny G.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:15am From: John from Oslo

Obama found boogers under the table in the oval office

Wed. 4/1/09 10:15am From: Real Budgie

Wed. 4/1/09 10:16am From: Mark

Wed. 4/1/09 10:17am From: annie

Wed. 4/1/09 10:17am From: Cecile

I'm listening. And I love opera.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:17am From: annie

Wed. 4/1/09 10:17am From: John from Oslo

Wed. 4/1/09 10:18am From: Tom

Wed. 4/1/09 10:19am From: dc pät

that Gorecki question was serious dammit. That's it, I'm off the comments for good!

Last year they traded feeds with a station on the west coast. So is some classical station somewhere streaming Ken's show?

Wed. 4/1/09 10:20am From: Mark

my favorite is Shockabilly Heaven

Wed. 4/1/09 10:21am From: dragonfrytards

Phyllis,you rock!.i just litterally went to get a paper with th name of THIS PIECE on it,to ask you to play it! AND ITS THE ONLY OPERA PIECE I LOVE !...(but that last one was good)

Wed. 4/1/09 10:24am From: dc pät

well the reason I ask about Gorecki is his 3rd symphony has a holocaust theme and is really amazing....it has singing too. OK that's it, no more comments. Besides, gotta watch soccer today: Ireland just beat Italy 1-0!!

Today is my Friday! Vacation tomorrow! Hoooray!

Wed. 4/1/09 10:24am From: G

Someone about 100 comments back asked about the comments record. Wasn't it that AIG comments show in Ken's old time slot (LOL) a couple of weeks back? If memory serves, Ken posted the total as 486 at the end. That's 162/hour, close to 3/minute. The last hour was the killer, though, with all the AIG jokes. If you want a record, accelerate insanely. :-P

Wed. 4/1/09 10:25am From: annie

do we get to vote on the best kvetch?

Wed. 4/1/09 10:25am From: Mark

Wed. 4/1/09 10:26am From: Cecile

I think someone should do Hendrix Buried in Tacoma at the next Hoof and Mouth

Wed. 4/1/09 10:26am From: G

Wed. 4/1/09 10:45am From: G

annie, my understanding is that after a number of recent incidents one or more dj's mentioned that their comments boards were being ruined by troll stuff, and TS may or may not be posting any more. Haven't spotted him in comments since the last bad incident Sunday evening, when two shows in a row turned off the comments function.

see i have the same feeling about sharpling, but he's not shouting about getting off his phone! this is very reminiscent of TBS

Wed. 4/1/09 10:50am From: Carmichael

I give up trying to read the comments list. Someone sped up the refresh rate, and it keeps moving on me.

Good morning, everyone. I'm normally not good with the April Fool's shenanigans, so just kiss my fat ass, generally speaking.

hey, being remembered as a DJ is a fine legacy.

Wed. 4/1/09 10:51am From: Cecile

hey, carm, hang around

This is more like Manzarek than Sharpling.

Scharpling reference reminds me:

Proposed title: "The Worst Show on WFMU"

she's way nicer than manzarek, and I'm sure she doesn't want to see Morrison dead.

"You ain't got no sex appeal" just made me do that thing where you spit out a drink in disbelief.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:05am From: Pearlÿ Sweets

They should just keep this jam going... maybe mix it up with some... Spike Jones?

Wed. 4/1/09 11:06am From: Cecile

Wed. 4/1/09 11:11am From: John from Oslo

For You Cecile:

Clink, clink, another drink
Plenty in the cellar when it's gone.
Drink, drink, the glasses clink
Making tinkly music till the dawn is breaking.
Clang, clang, who cares a dang?
What's the difference when you're on a spree?
Over the teeth, behind the gums,
Look out stomach here she comes
Hi! Have another drink on me.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
Trinkle, trinkle, trinkle, trinkle.
Slice of cheese and bite of pickle
Doesn't even cost a nickel
Now to wash it down.
Clink, clink, no more to drink
I had a cellar full, but now it's gone.
Drink, drink, the glasses clink
Like the anvil chorus and my head is splitting,
Uh, brinking, uh, busting. Oh brother!
Oh, ow, what'll I do now
Pink elephants running after me.
Oh, that stuff is smooth as silk
From now on I'll stick to milk.
Nothing else to drink for me.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:12am From: Pearlÿ Sweets

But not for me, John? NOT FOR ME?! Cecile gets all of the love.

I believe so. But I'm only casually familiar with Ferrigno's late period.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:30am From: Ken From Hyde Park

I think I've heard Grandma Phyllis on Seven Second Delay before. What's up on 7SD tonight?

Wed. 4/1/09 11:30am From: annie

eternity will last til the next yahoo who gets the most comments. and cecile what about hummus, humus, hummous?

Wed. 4/1/09 11:30am From: Joe

I will bet anyone here 100 dollars that "What are you, CRAZY?!" ends up in Ken's mix in the near future.

I'm going to eat fake meat and lots of it.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:30am From: Cecile

Most people put way, way too much bulgur wheat in it. And not anywhere enough lemon.

Oh, stingy. You crazy gentile.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:31am From: MQ

ok so what was that last piano sonnato (sp?) ?

Wed. 4/1/09 11:31am From: Nick

Can someone tell me the current comment tally?

Wed. 4/1/09 11:31am From: Bas, NL

Oh, yeah! Here it's late afternoon.. 5:28pm. Grandma Phyllis; you sound well in the afternoon too ;)

Wed. 4/1/09 11:31am From: Pearlÿ Sweets

I'm sure Ken had a great April Fools idea for 7SD and then Andy shot it down. As he shoots everybody down (Except on his facebook, where he is such a nice guy.)

Wed. 4/1/09 11:31am From: John from Oslo

Cecile, tabole. just let the vegetable juices be the liquid - do not add water! just squeeze lemons. use cous cous fine, not coarse bulgur

Wed. 4/1/09 11:31am From: Cecile

hummus - I pop the skins off the chickpeas, hard but worth it. LOTS of lemon. Lots of tahini. No weird crap in it like basil or tomatoes or roasted garlic.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:32am From: annie

joe, right after "more music please"

Wed. 4/1/09 11:32am From: Ken

Am I missing good soundbites? I may need to download and edit this show.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:32am From: Cecile

John I use water, but very little.
For this awesome Turkish salad that's like it, I whirl up some tomatoes in the blender and let the bulgur sit in that. It has pistachios in it and is to die for.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:33am From: annie

i love hummus with tahini, garbanzoes, garlic.. s &p only no lemon...

I will break Ken's (and Grandma Phyllis's) comments record this afternoon. Ken is not chopped liver. He's a half-eaten, room temp cheese blintz.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:34am From: Parq

This is totally like having Pegine (sp?) Fitzgerald back from beyond the pale.

Wed. 4/1/09 11:34am From: flyshards

I really hope this gets archived. I got back from picking up my son after school (I live in Berlin) and I refreshed the WFMU home page and I saw Grandma Phyllis' First Program. I was tempted to tune in, but it was already 2:15 into the show and I wanted to listen to it from the beginning. "I'll catch it in the archive." While I was cleaning up after supper, I thought about the show that I was missing. "That's what freeform is about!" I had glanced at the comments and had seen that almost everybody was enjoying it, which made me go "Awww... I love WFMU!" So please, please archive it!
