Wed. 4/8/09 12:13pm From: Cecile

love it. Primo Kenny.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:13pm From: Pearly Sweets

I want a slip mark five.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:13pm From: dc pat

I'm not sure Wittgenstein matches up with Stravinsky

Wed. 4/8/09 12:14pm From: Pearly Sweets

I might actually get to get out of work a few hours early today! I am quite excited about this.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:15pm From: Pearly Sweets

I dunno, dc pat, Kenny is really hammering it in there.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:16pm From: jan

Gilbert and Sullivan; Wittgenstein and Stravinsky

Wed. 4/8/09 12:17pm From: dc pat

Oh Kenny's performance is without match but I'd have chosen Jean Giono or something for the libretto.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:17pm From: Carmichael

Satchel and Paige. I'm off to a meeting.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:17pm From: mike

i love wednesdays

Wed. 4/8/09 12:19pm From: dc pat

or Knut Hamsen or some shit...

Wed. 4/8/09 12:20pm From: fishmonkeystew

Kenny, this is waaaaay cool.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:24pm From: ∆å˜jan

I want a libretto so that I can read along.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:25pm From: Pearly Sweets

I'd just like a playbill.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:35pm From: risky!

GO KENNY GO!!!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:36pm From: Bill W

This is the most fun I've had since I lost my job Monday. Actually, it's tied with that.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:39pm From: Marshall Stacks

One libretto, hold the mayo:

Kenny G you are making my whole life better.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:39pm From: Jack

I love Wittgenstein.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:39pm From: Cecile

wow, kenny, this "slab" stuff is really working with the music.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:40pm From: jan

is this live or prerecorded

Wed. 4/8/09 12:40pm From: risky!

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB!!!!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:41pm From: risky!

LIVE! LIVE! SLAB! SLAAB!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:41pm From: dc pat

thanks Stacks, that helps! BRING ME A SLAB!!!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:41pm From: Pearly Sweets

I'd like to think this is going on live.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:41pm From: Miriam Eusebio

I do like the music with this, but I'm wondering about the left hand only music written by commission for Paul Wittenstein, Luddwig's brother.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:42pm From: risky!

live! it IS LIVE!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:42pm From: dc pat

totally live. I don't think Kenny does it any other way..

Wed. 4/8/09 12:43pm From: nna

that....was GREAT

Wed. 4/8/09 12:44pm From: Cecile

Kenny works without a net.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:44pm From: jan

how, then, can I make Kenny's Wittgenstein "song" my ring tone?

Wed. 4/8/09 12:45pm From: Pearly Sweets

A tiny taste of heaven.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:45pm From: risky!

John Cage... clutch!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:47pm From: Cecile

jan, maybe he can send you a mp3. :)

"SLAB! SLAB!" "Hang on, I have to get this..."

Wed. 4/8/09 12:48pm From: Webhamster Henry

Look for : Noël Coward's "I Hate the Spring!" (sung by Bea Lilley)

Wed. 4/8/09 12:48pm From: Cecile

typical Noel Coward to criticize Nature's interior design choices.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:51pm From: Pearly Sweets

I hope that "Sings Wittgenstein" is in the Keys to the Kingdom II... because then it is all mine! mine mine mine!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:51pm From: dc pat

whoa, what version of Rite of Spring is this in the back? Sounds like a chamber version

Wed. 4/8/09 12:52pm From: Cecile

Coral is more in, Kenny.

Jumpsuit, right on trend, though.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:52pm From: nna

Kenny, what is this music behind you?

Wed. 4/8/09 12:54pm From: Marshall Stacks

This sounds like Jean Shepherd with a slightly more emphatic delivery.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:55pm From: Cecile

Kenny, you should edit InStyle magazine.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:55pm From: Cecile

calas? Humph.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:56pm From: still b/p

"Do these rants make me look fat?"

Wed. 4/8/09 12:57pm From: annie

Wed. 4/8/09 12:59pm From: Cecile

CALLAS, Kenny.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:59pm From: annie

Wed. 4/8/09 1:08pm From: dc pat

Wed. 4/8/09 1:09pm From: Cecile

I have to go make some art now. brb

Wed. 4/8/09 1:10pm From: dc pat

Wed. 4/8/09 1:10pm From: Pearly Sweets

I heard about this on the North Pole, myself.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:11pm From: chris

sounds like Werner Herzog on acid

Wed. 4/8/09 1:12pm From: still b/p

I'm pretty sure Scarlett smells like grape or cherry bubble gum and graham crackers.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:14pm From: risky!

ART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed. 4/8/09 1:14pm From: Marshall Stacks

STELLA!!!!!!

Frank, I mean.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:16pm From: Archie Leich

Wanda!

Wed. 4/8/09 1:16pm From: Webhamster Henry

Tschaikovsky! is the perfect segue!

Wed. 4/8/09 1:20pm From: Cecile

"song of the south", the pantomime years

Wed. 4/8/09 1:22pm From: Pearly Sweets

I was singing this song the other day while walking down the street and got quite the clobbering. A catchy song is catchy! ...er right?

Wed. 4/8/09 1:26pm From: Listern Bruce

What's this 'policy' you speak about.
I though this was a free-form radio station I pledged to!

Wed. 4/8/09 1:26pm From: lolcat

catchy songz is catchee
less u get caught singin bad wordz

Wed. 4/8/09 1:30pm From: Pearly Sweets

Kenny, do you have any songs from Alice in Wonderland: An Adult Musical Comedy? I'd love to hear "What Are You Doing On A Knight Like This".

Wed. 4/8/09 1:30pm From: lolcat

I'm innuendo, making lewd double entendres

Wed. 4/8/09 1:39pm From: Listener Bruce

Is the 'n' word prohibited by FCC rules or by a specific WFMU policy?
What else is excluded by this policy?

Wed. 4/8/09 1:40pm From: GP

Ike, et al, not ignoring your questions from Kens show, just got pulled into a meeting and had to stop listening for a bit.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:41pm From: Bruce the Listener

Orange Jews?

Wed. 4/8/09 1:43pm From: Orange Julius

@Bruce, the Funny Candy Company says http://tinyurl.com/ytj6b

Wed. 4/8/09 1:50pm From: Cecile

Man, put a deep house beat to this vocal and it would be the greatest dance song ever.

as it is, it's pretty dang cool

Wed. 4/8/09 1:54pm From: El Daddie

Shallow Shack!

Wed. 4/8/09 1:57pm From: Parq

Okay, so, a town board in a predominantly Jewish community is asked to rule on whether or not a small Christian sect can continue its annual procession through the center of town with a statue of the written Jesus. Led by a coalition of hard-line Jewish members, the board votes to rescind the permit for the procession. The Christian congregation protests on the next Sunday by singing a hymn, "Jews To Close Our Walk with Thee".

Wed. 4/8/09 1:59pm From: annie

rotflmao

Wed. 4/8/09 2:10pm From: Pearly Sweets

Welcome.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:14pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Wed. 4/8/09 2:18pm From: Parq

Sean! I need your expertise. Does a time-traveler go "across" or "through" a time warp?

Wed. 4/8/09 2:24pm From: RSTVMO

No comment! Ever! Whoo hoo!

Wed. 4/8/09 2:26pm From: Ike

I'm not Sean but I'd say "through" and not "across."

Wed. 4/8/09 2:28pm From: faux Sean

it's much too late for goodbye

Wed. 4/8/09 2:29pm From: Carmichael

Kenny, you're the only other person I've ever known who knows who Lypsinka is.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:29pm From: Pearly Sweets

I'd also say "through" but only because it is a warp. If you were to just travel in time, I'd say across. "I time travelled across time... I went through a time warp."

Wed. 4/8/09 2:29pm From: dc pat

it's much to late for Sean

Wed. 4/8/09 2:31pm From: dc pat

ah jeeze! a typo right in front of Ike! GODDAMMIT!

Wed. 4/8/09 2:31pm From: Sean Hourly Or More Often

you talkin to me? you talkin to **ME**?

Wed. 4/8/09 2:32pm From: annie

ike, how long will it take bryce to remove the apostrophe from cds in his bio> just askin, only.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:33pm From: G.

what apostophe's?

Wed. 4/8/09 2:33pm From: Stephen Hawking

Mr. Parq, you actually don't *travel* through or across time, since it is simply an observation based upon your relative positioning to the object of study. You are thus *repositioned* by a relocation in space and time.

I must go teach a class. Please buy my audiobooks.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:33pm From: Koko

I don't understand this gorilla at a teletype metaphor, human.

http://tinyurl.com/dep2jx

Wed. 4/8/09 2:34pm From: Ike

Annie, it will take the same amt. of time as it does for Bryce to go through a time warp back to 500 apostrophes ago.

Wait, Kenny, back when 6th Ave. was *what* now? I missed that part.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:34pm From: G.

i've met him. his wife translates a lot...

Wed. 4/8/09 2:38pm From: Hawking's Wife

He said buy more of his books. Thanks, we have to go now.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:41pm From: Sister hairy hymen

Is this Justin Bond

Wed. 4/8/09 2:42pm From: Ike

Kenny, got any good Bruce Nauman?

Wed. 4/8/09 2:44pm From: annie

you know i'd love to hear some of lenny bruce's radio interview bits

Wed. 4/8/09 2:45pm From: dc pat

Yeah, I could use the entire Good Boy Bad Boy soundtrack. You played a litle before

Wed. 4/8/09 2:45pm From: Parq

Thanks, Prof. H! Your wife is a *total* fox, by the way. Carm, this isn't even the first time I've heard Lypsinka played on FMU. Way cool, isn't she?

Wed. 4/8/09 2:48pm From: Lizardner Dave

I tried friending Kenny on FB but he never responded.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:49pm From: Hawking's Fox, I mean Wife

Yes, I am totally f---able. You noticed, duh. To be added to the widowhood waitinglist, send financial statements and a fullbody photo to HotWidow@gmail.com

Wed. 4/8/09 2:49pm From: Lizardner Dave

That would explain it.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:50pm From: Ike

I only use FB occasionally. I don't let it dominate me. E-mail is still awesome in my world.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:52pm From: Ken

Yeah, the slam andy feature! YESSSS!!!!

Wed. 4/8/09 2:52pm From: Peter Hurts

I'm hurt that Irwin doesn't want to be my friend on Facebook

Wed. 4/8/09 2:53pm From: Parq

What are you insinuating, fictitiously named posting person? I am quite sure that Mrs. Hawking married the Prof solely because of her emotional resonance with his fine mind. Truly! How could anyone think otherwise?

Wed. 4/8/09 2:53pm From: Ouch Donut

I'm also hurt

Wed. 4/8/09 2:55pm From: Cecile

LMAO! I missed all the good stuff.

Wed. 4/8/09 2:55pm From: The 21st Century Fox

ixnay qarpsay, he can still read yknow, on the d-l please

Wed. 4/8/09 2:57pm From: R. Kelly

HELP! I'm still trapped in the closet!
