Wed. 10/14/09 9:17am From: Ken

This is it by Kenny Loggins? The smooth music? The Yacht Rock?

Wed. 10/14/09 9:19am From: jan

according to the home town paper, written by M. Jackson and P. Anka 26yrs ago and performed by Safire as "I never heard". Maybe a mashup?

Wed. 10/14/09 9:22am From: Bad Ronald

Wed. 10/14/09 9:25am From: BSI

"Please don't start singing"...
A great policy for most music, in my humble.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:27am From: Doug of Canada

Track 3 is called "Phlegm rockets"

Wed. 10/14/09 9:27am From: Bad Ronald

Wed. 10/14/09 9:29am From: anne

@gecko, no crickets today, sorry, too cold. but i'm trying to get some stinkhorns to hatch in my room. that should attract some flies.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:31am From: Mark

go man go!

Wed. 10/14/09 9:32am From: Ghengis Jung

What are those guys dancing about?

Wed. 10/14/09 9:36am From: Lizardner Dave

Wow, you went into the John Zorn trailer..is a visit to the Jandek trailer coming next?

Wed. 10/14/09 9:38am From: PMD

morning all! oh, the things I've missed. Ken, did the other two prefer Dentyne?

Wed. 10/14/09 9:38am From: Cecile

the dancers are the Nicholas Brothers and they dance because they are the Nicholas Brothers and cannot help their fabulousness.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:39am From: Ken

Actually Dave, I didnt have to go into the John Zorn storage trailer, because this is a new John Zorn release. So it's still in the new bin. Thanks God. The John Zorn storage trailer is kinda scary these days.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:40am From: Ken

Thank you Cecile! I love you.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:41am From: annie

so, i'm gonna be in williamsburg saturday evening...

Wed. 10/14/09 9:42am From: Cecile

I love you too, ken.

I want to go the Church of the Living Hipster Jesus now.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:44am From: gecko

@anne - <google for stinkhorn> - oh that's the mushroom that looks like a penis but smells worse. They attract flies? Anyway, there may be an easier way to get them than to hatch them. Many people have them, for example, or least something like looks like them, and at least some of them must attract flies.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:45am From: Ghengis Jung

I <3 Nina Simone

Wed. 10/14/09 9:47am From: cribley

I'd like to see Etta and Nina in a vocal cage match.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:47am From: Janet H

Good Morning!!!

Wed. 10/14/09 9:48am From: Ken

Your collective mission, should you accept it, is to provide me with downlinks to Michael Jackson's This is It as well as Safire's I Never Heard.

Weather that springs the steps of huskies and malamutes alike.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:53am From: Ne-guh-tor

Nice show, Ken! Congrats on the Nobel Peace Prize! I got one, too!

Wed. 10/14/09 9:54am From: Andy in Berlin

I'm sorry to say I have to turn you off - I'm translating a German scientist talking about communication in bees and I have to go back to the original tapes. Sorry! See you in the archives!

http://vinylandvodka.com/2009/10/michael-jackson-this-is-it/

I can't actually test this link at work, but good luck.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:55am From: PMD

My friends and I coined a new much worse relative of Dirty Sanchez - Dirty Roosevelt. Just imagine what it might be. Think bigger mustache.

Wed. 10/14/09 9:55am From: annie

Wed. 10/14/09 9:56am From: Bad Ronald

Wed. 10/14/09 9:56am From: Cecile

I would rather be tased by absinthe than a taser. ;D

Wed. 10/14/09 9:57am From: Vivian

Are they singing 'It's nice to be a trout'?

Wed. 10/14/09 9:58am From: annie

Wed. 10/14/09 10:08am From: Dan B

Ah, Vicki, I already miss your show, and it hasn't even been a full week yet.

Hi Laurie!

Wed. 10/14/09 10:26am From: paul

Wed. 10/14/09 10:27am From: Ne-guh-tor

Somebody's gonna get pregnant!

Wed. 10/14/09 10:28am From: BSI

...has anyone let Cupcake Dog out for a wee?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:30am From: Ne-guh-tor

Anka and the woman singing on this track should have been publicly executed after this song was released. ..........terrible........

Wed. 10/14/09 10:30am From: Maria D

this is getting me really hot & bothered

Wed. 10/14/09 10:32am From: Laurie

Larry sounds like Charlie Brown.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:32am From: -max-

This show is mixing well with the "hold" music that Chase is piping into my other ear. Oh, hi Larry! How's every little thing?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:33am From: GP

I'm out here lookin through the knothole n the fence.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:33am From: Proofreader

Giant Robot! Fire finger rockets!

Wed. 10/14/09 10:36am From: John from Oslo

Anna Anka, Paul's Swedish wife is very happy.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:38am From: cribley

I hear some jew's / jaw / mouth / whatever harp in the background there... I've recently become addicted.

Could you feature some?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:39am From: GP

16 y.o. in Vegas, I went to Paul Anka's club in town. Beautiful girl comes up to me wants a drink and to dance....I thought "lucky", she thought "mark". She became very scarce when she realized I had no money......an aye opening lesson to my 16yo. virgin self.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:40am From: Mark

I hope Anna hasn't thrown any more ice at Paul

Wed. 10/14/09 10:40am From: GP

aye = eye...unless your are a pirate.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:40am From: paul

can the larry chronicles be made available as a fundraising premium someday?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:41am From: GP

That should be ARRRRR a pirate.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:41am From: dave in vermont

make it stop; please make it stop

Wed. 10/14/09 10:41am From: BSI

ken....... you're hurting me........

Wed. 10/14/09 10:42am From: moose

and my neighbors can hear this!

Wed. 10/14/09 10:42am From: jan

Ken- This IS it! It's great- wjhat a hook. Can you play it again at 16 RPM?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:43am From: Cecile

this is definitely a lesser track in the Jackson canon.
Sounds like a throwawy.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:44am From: BSI

Jan: good idea. ...or better yet, 6 RPM... with shitloads of distortion + roland space-echo. Then we might have something.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:44am From: MJ (channeling neil hamburger)

oh come on guys, i'm fucking DEAD.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:44am From: annie

anyone seen "man bites dog"?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:47am From: gecko

There's a great cover of this by Avail on the Over The James CD reissue.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:50am From: GJ

man bijt hond?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:50am From: cuero

Yes I've seen "man bites dog". Is great

Wed. 10/14/09 10:51am From: GP

Is that Abe Fromans wife?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:52am From: jan

Hey BSI- I never had a turntable with 6 RPM and I had my doubts that
listeners in todays MP3 World would even know about 16 RPM

Wed. 10/14/09 10:54am From: Mark

my first turntable had 16,33,45 and 78

Wed. 10/14/09 10:55am From: BSI

6 RPM = start with 16 RPM and affix a small terrier or pekingese to the record surface. ... that tune could use some macguyver (sp?)-style help, says I.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:55am From: Cecile

mine too, Mark.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:56am From: stuart

what - no Al Martino?
(he died yesterday)

Wed. 10/14/09 10:56am From: annie

yeah, mark. mine too..

Wed. 10/14/09 10:57am From: Carmichael

Good morning from storm-ravaged California, Kenneth and those who know the frequency.

Mark, our family stereo had the same four speeds.
Parq, you know what a Dirty Sanchez is? You made up a "Dirty Roosevelt"?!? Then you may know what a "chili dog" is ....
Cecile, I think Yacht Rock is the coolest series of shows on the entire InterTubes.

Wed. 10/14/09 10:57am From: JCityJensen

half n half = http://www.03fotos.com/photograph/half.html

Wed. 10/14/09 10:58am From: Mark

and my first turntable was a real piece of crap too!

Wed. 10/14/09 10:58am From: Dan B

Oh yeah... I haven't heard anything about last week's Secret Radio Listening Party. How did that go?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:59am From: Carmichael

Ken, can you bring in David Lee Roth to duet with Al Martino with that crazy alchemy-like software you have?

Wed. 10/14/09 10:59am From: dave in vermont

James is my neighbor

Wed. 10/14/09 11:04am From: Laurie

Oh, Burning Man.

I like Mike Kelley, but...

Oh, Burning Man.

I would kill myself before attending Burning Man.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:04am From: Wakko Jacko Fan

IT IS NOT THE SAME SONG!!!!!!!

Wed. 10/14/09 11:05am From: Michael

Given that I've always hated Kochalka's stuff as childish-without-being-childlike, sort of cynically infantile, it creeps me out to here him defend, even ironically, a pædophile...and I'm not sure it's ironic..

Wed. 10/14/09 11:06am From: Mark

Still no dealer list or schedule for the record fair?

Wed. 10/14/09 11:06am From: Dan B

I've never been to the Record Fair. Would there be anything worth checking out for a person like me who is broker than broke and would have to drive about five hours to get there? I've always wanted to go...

Wed. 10/14/09 11:07am From: Laurie

I like James Kochalka. Peanutbutter & Jeremy is adorable.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:09am From: paul

people liks us is playing on sunday, so yes.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:10am From: dei xhrist

I miss playing along at office. And making cracks about Jesus' crack in Cook's crack. Not to mention Jesus' junk.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:10am From: Carmichael

My first turntable was a Kenner Close'n'Play.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:10am From: Big Jimmy Dong the Human Blockhead

RIP Dickie Petersen & Brendan Mullen

Wed. 10/14/09 11:11am From: PMD

Carmichael, that wasn't Parq. That was me. And no I don't. I'll have to google.
i was going to ask about Larry too, but apparently I mssed him. damn meetings.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:11am From: Laurie

Kristen Davis is so lifeless, it took me a minute to realize that was an animated gif.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:11am From: cropotkin

Ok, so what was that motorik krautrock beat i was hearing behind Ken. Was it just classic Neu? If so, I'd be grateful to know what track.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:11am From: Ken

Mark - those will both be posted on the site any day now

Wed. 10/14/09 11:11am From: Stewie From Quohog

There is a pedophile that lives down the street from me.... But for some reason noone cares.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:13am From: -max-

The Trashmen are playing at 2 pm on Saturday at the fair.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:13am From: Mark

Great, thanks Ken.
Dan B I went for the first time last year and though I spent a lot of money I would have had a great time had I spent nothing.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:13am From: GP

Good one Laurie...this IS a funny ,gif

Wed. 10/14/09 11:15am From: CDC

CDC does not recommend "swine flu parties" as a way to protect against 2009 H1N1 flu in the future. While the disease seen in the current 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak has been mild for many people, it has been severe and even fatal for others. There is no way to predict with certainty what the outcome will be for an individual or, equally important, for others to whom the intentionally infected person may spread the virus.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:16am From: TOm

HI Ken great show. What is the chances of FMU having the record fair at the old Elks lodge in Hoboken? Maybe a spring thing?

Wed. 10/14/09 11:17am From: GP

Ken,
Roy Clark ( yes , that Roy Clark) has song called "Spooky Movies", could you see if the station has that one for any upcoming spooktacular shows?

Wed. 10/14/09 11:17am From: Mark

There's an idea, WFMU flu masks given out at the door at the record fair

Wed. 10/14/09 11:19am From: jan

Sculpture Center in Long Island City has the Mike Kelley VIdeo and installation about Burning Man- It's great!

Wed. 10/14/09 11:20am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Thou doth protest too much. It is indeed your fault.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:22am From: GP

How does a band get a gig at that joint?

Wed. 10/14/09 11:24am From: -max-

Tin Huey printed special face masks and handed them out at their concert at the height of the chicken flu epidemic.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:25am From: GP

Ken,
i have a poster that says "The Fonz Approves" He has the thumb up and "Aaaaayy" in quotes.

My precise reaction to this Kid Koala track....made my morning.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:28am From: dc pat

that sheet of music is hilarious

Wed. 10/14/09 11:28am From: Cecile

Aw, I like Tin Huey even better for that now.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:32am From: krexus

man I always get some bug at the record fair. I vote for wfmu themed masks and strategically placed sanitizer dispensers.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:33am From: dc pat

check this one out, even more funny:

Wed. 10/14/09 11:38am From: dc pat

Hey! That national radio school pic is from DC

Wed. 10/14/09 11:38am From: GP

DC PAT, "release the penguins" LOL.
That is good.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:42am From: dc pat

yeah, I like "gradually become agitated"

Wed. 10/14/09 11:45am From: PMD

Ken, you're no fun. No masks...

Wed. 10/14/09 11:47am From: PMD

Ventriloquism - now THAT's good radio.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:47am From: Mark

The subtitle of the Yo Gabba Gabba Soundtrack is "Music is Awesome!"

Wed. 10/14/09 11:52am From: Ken

I know PMD - Ventriloquism and Radio are MADE for one another!

Wed. 10/14/09 11:52am From: Michael

Laurie, I am really (un-ironically!) glad that Mr Kochalka's work has brought you pleasure...but know that one person's 'adorable' is another's 'creepy'.

For some of us, our reaction to adorable is very similar to that of a bird parent to its adorable child....

Wed. 10/14/09 11:53am From: Mark

If I get the swine flu at the record fair and die I'll be pretty unhappy

Wed. 10/14/09 11:56am From: trs

Mark, what if you get it on the way there? Or on the way home? Then how will you feel?

Wed. 10/14/09 11:56am From: Ken

I'll give you your money back if that happens Mark. Less your discount of course, if you use the $2 discount card.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:57am From: Mark

That's a deal Ken

Wed. 10/14/09 11:57am From: Bad Ronald

how do I get my grubby little hands on one of those $2 discount cards?

Wed. 10/14/09 11:59am From: Ike

Well, I already had the swine flu, so you'll all see me volunteering at the record fair.

Wed. 10/14/09 11:59am From: Mark

Bad Ronald, last year you could print the $2 coupon from the record fair website

Wed. 10/14/09 12:00pm From: Bad Ronald

Thanks Mark!
