9:10am Cecile:

Side one of Ornette's Dancing in Your Head.

9:11am BSI:

I'll second the Halifax idea.

and it's not a long tune as such, but Mobile Line by Holy Modal Rounders always makes a good 2nd after that one. Just sayin'.

9:12am Mark:

Yoo Doo Right - Can

9:12am annie:

9:16am Mark:

Sister Ray - Velvet Underground

9:18am Bad Ronald:

At the risk of being poo-pooed, Led Zep's Dazed And Confused live from "The Song Remains The Same". Not a big fan of Plant's vox but man, does Bonzo smoke on that track.

9:18am Spankyflop:

Half japanese Heaven Sent & Chris Butler's Devil Glitch - there's 2/3 of your show right there...

9:18am Parq:

9:27am jeremy the listener:

third option would be to just quit your job and open a soup kitchen with a disco ball. that would be my choice

9:29am Parq:

That's it. I'm changing the name of my autobiography to "Soup Kitchen With a Disco Ball".

9:29am Mark L:

Jeremy, I like that. Chesterfield needs a disco ball. And WFMU.

9:29am Cecile:

F*CK Ken. Now I have to own everything Gem ever made. My bank account hates this station.

9:32am PMD:

Are you oinking?

9:32am Cecile:

Are you sure you're not menopausal, Ken?

9:32am dei xhrist:

1 confirmation of Sturgeon Flu, here. It makes me a "phlegm phatale".

9:32am BSI:

Put your head DOWN. ... you're having a colonoscopy.

9:33am Parq:

Is the tropical disease lab in Hawaii?

9:33am PMD:

You know, Port Authority and suppository rhyme.

9:33am Mousey:

Kenopausal

9:33am What!:

Ken, make sure to lick, sneeze on and pretty much make love to the mic. Share the good feelings with your fellow DJs.

9:34am Parq:

And 'Cile, spitting out my coffee. Being 50's some fun, yeah?

9:34am Mark L:

How does a brother get hold of that Gem album? They rule.

9:34am Dolly Parton:

Workin' swine flu live,
What a way to make a livin'...

9:35am Cecile:

I'm not quite there yet, but close. It was the result of my last trip to the hospital.

9:36am Cecile:

Mark, you can get it super cheap on Amazon.
I saw copies for 1 cent plus postage!

9:36am PMD:

who sends the check?

9:37am Janet H:

Do we have to hear Iggy singing in French?

9:38am Cecile:

I love you too, Ken.

9:39am risky!:

morning ken!

9:40am Mark L:

I wish they didn't have such a generic name, it's making looking through Amazon a pain. But I found it. Thank you Ken, and please don't play anything expensive to buy today!

9:40am stu:

I can't believe no one posted this link yet -
Pres Obama kills a fly (not a joke)

Oh come on, just tell it!

9:42am Cecile:

Please play Flight of the Conchords Foux de Fafa after this...

9:43am listener mark:

Hey!!! I'm listener mark!!!
Jesus H. tap dancing inside a dump truck Christ I'm off the computer one day and someone steals my handle.

9:43am Gomez:

Tish, that's French!

9:44am Mark:

Hey so far I can't even tell what the hell language he's singing in. But I'll take your word that's it French

9:44am danomatika:

Iggy singing in French? This is about the looses definition ... he's filyer3s, repeats 1 line, and its way down in the mix

9:44am Bad Ronald:

That gazelle is cracking me up!

9:45am Mark:

No you would be listener listener Mark

9:45am Andy in Berlin:

Last UCB Theater show? Does this mean you're going to release the pidgeons?

9:45am Janet H:

can i hear something for my birthday....it's tomorrow......pick any song that would fit me.....

9:45am danomatika:

Iggy's "filtered" si what I *meant* to type

9:46am listener Mark:

Good morning ... did I miss anything?

9:46am Cecile:

and there's Mark L who just got a Gem CD

Janet, I always like to play Nazareth's Hair of the Dog as my birthday song.

9:46am dei x:

Iggy's gone from revenant to ruminant

9:47am Mark:

Remember home position when typing danomatika

9:47am still b/p:

Does Iggy cut his belly with a sharp baguette crust when he does a French number live?

9:49am danomatika:

Iggy smears fresh Bleu to salve the baguette wounds ...

9:49am Andy in Berlin:

I just realized I had had Real Player on pause for a while so all my comments are reacting to the previous set. Very embarrassing!

9:52am Little Mac:

The chick with the robot is topless. Nice side boob, nice ass too

9:55am Cecile:

got a meeting, back in a bit

9:55am big mac:

li'l, are you kidding? the robot is totally newd!
check out those...servos

9:58am Parq:

I'm very disappointed that there was no pic to go with "Tango Ballad".

9:58am Bad Ronald:

Those ears on the gazelle are nice and perky!

9:59am Janet H:

KEN, let me know when you're goin to play my b-day song...

10:00am thornybranch:

I used to love this song when it was in a car commercial

10:01am Listener James from Westwood:

It's Montague mania! Blood Axis for the trifecta?

10:01am annie:

has ken said a word at all?

10:01am Mae West:

Why don't you send the robot around to see me sometime. A hard man is good to find.

10:05am PMD:

Janet, ALL the songs he's playing are for your birthday, didn't you know that?

10:07am Janet H:

PMD, so this whole playlist is for me....wow i feel special!

10:09am Mr. Two-Arms:

Be careful what you comment! "subpoena is asking for commenters' addresses, birth dates, genders, telephone numbers, ISPs, IP addresses, and credit card numbers": http://tinyurl.com/l33sg3

10:10am PMD:

Ken, why don't you play the rest of the morning all the songs backwards so you can save yourself RIAA time? Like, an entire album?

10:13am Mark L:

If you play records backwards does the RIAA have to give you money?

10:15am Vicki:

no Mark, you have to give them money.

10:16am PMD:

Apparently not. Mark L I had asked Ken that at another time.

10:16am Andy in Berlin:

Actually in such a case you have to give them yenom.

10:17am BSI:

...but if you just randomly send the RIAA a bunch of money without playing anything, do you get really cool swag? A Buddha Machine that plays loops from Romeo & Juliet, mebbe?

10:19am Janet H:

is this my bday song?

10:19am Mark L:

Vicky, I'm sorry a joking sense doesn't come across on the internet.

10:19am RIAAfellas:

"But now the guy has got to come up with Paulie 's money every week, no matter what. Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. You had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. The place got hit by lightning? Fuck you, pay me."

10:21am Vicki:

Mark, I meant the RIAA have to pay you - oh well, there goes both our jokes :)

10:21am PMD:

Oops, we all went wrong. I meant, if you play it backwards, no you do not have to give them money. Or yenom either.

10:26am Parq:

Guys, it's simple. From the moment you open your eyes for the day, whatever you do, you have to send the RIAA money. If you don't, all of corporate music-land's business problems are your fault. Virgin going under? Your fault. Springsteen sales down? Your fault. Keith Moon's death? Your fault.

10:26am Mark L:

I apologise for not only making a rubbish joke, but no-selling the ones which came after it. I'll shut up now :)

10:27am RIAA:

Really Indicates Awful Assholes.

Shh, don't tell anyone. It's kind of embarrassing.

10:27am annie:

there is no one yet that has told me if my joke was funny or not... just sayin.

10:29am Mark L:

And while we're on the subject, mashup guys the RIAA make some excellent tunes, check them out.

10:32am just sayin:

Not everyone wants to open themselves to being gotchaed...

10:32am Ken:

Here you go Janet

10:34am Janet H:

Ken Thank You!

10:36am Bad Ronald:

That damn gazelle just keeps chewing to the beat!

10:36am Cecile:

back!

10:36am BSI:

.....that's no 'gazelle'...... it's a SPACE SHIP.....

10:37am Mark:

Not only does that car alarm not work properly but the car's registration is up at the end of the month

10:37am Just sayin' back:

Fine, then, but i thought it was pretty damn funny, Jews and all.

10:42am OK then:

It was funny. :-P

10:43am listener mark:

as the original listener mark, I demand royalties from those using my name

10:43am Sayin' justly:

Wouldn't he freak if the check got cashed?

10:46am JJZ:

I like Dokaka, but I miss the covers.

10:46am JCityJensen:

Thank You o' Geat Caffeine Gods and Ken (our fearless swineflu free leader) for today's dose of the Dokaka

10:47am Cecile:

Is that picture of Sound Barrier, the 80s metal band?

10:47am JCityJensen:

and speaking of pirates:

http://current.com/items/89495678_modern-day-pirates.htm

10:48am Carmichael:

Good morning Ken and mid-week woof-moo-ers.

10:49am Janet H:

WHOA THAT SCARED ME.....

10:53am say just anything:

It would bounce. Or, it was written against an old account with leftover checks.

10:54am Parq:

Re Shimabukuro photo, Ken, was that your car? Sorry to be so grumpy.

10:55am charis:

re simple simon crap--are you trying to kill us? That was the most painful thing I've ever heard.

10:55am anything at all:

ok, i'll buy it!, here's my check!

10:56am Jewish guy:

Oy, ha scream it was.

10:57am Janet H:

i want to see the full size image of the batman comic pict......if possible

10:58am annie:

see, it was made funnier by the photo of the two jews in the street. don't ask me why..

11:01am jeremy the listener:

i'd peg ken as not ever having a car that had an alarm. total guess...

11:01am Janet H:

7sd from last week was hilarious

11:03am Cecile:

Hint: Fabio back on weekday afternoons again would be amazing

11:04am annie:

cecile, i totally agree!!

11:05am jeremy the listener:

RIAA uses real audio

11:05am Carmichael:

Bye bye, RealAudio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:05am Mark:

death to realaudio

11:06am Happy Listener:

RealAudio was never very good. Ohaiyo bakayarou!

11:07am Joe Steele:

I had a boradcast TV in my bathroom. It's still there because it also has a radio in it.

11:08am Dead Leaves:

Music please!

11:08am triiiish:

Who fucking cares about hd picture on a tv, if 90% of the content is and remains crap?

11:09am Mark:

Tres bien

11:09am danomatika:

thats more like

11:10am Happy Listener:

Who cares about an hd picture on a TV that only does regular resolution?

11:11am Marcel Marceau:

Je veux être votre chien!

11:11am Nick the Bard:

I still get Home Shopping Network on my broadcast tv. Also Channel 9 (kind of) and 5 (kind of less). And also some religous station on 46 that I never knew about. Well, and 4 too, but all they're airing is that damn "How to hook up your converter box" thing on an endless damn loop.

41 had the best send off though, complete New Years Eve party atmosphere complete with countdown.

11:11am Cecile:

Oh, Iggy you are the crooner. Seriously

dead leaves in french. LMAO

11:11am Who cares?:

Who cares???? I mean, WHO?????

11:11am Happy Listener:

It's not like the converter is going to give you 1280x720!

Mort aux vaches!

11:11am La vache:

Woof!

11:11am Mac:

Hard to believe that 39 yers later... and countless jars of peanutbutter smeared on his chest, that this is the guy who is still around and singing this stuff!

11:12am lightning494:

Try Yves Montand, Juliette Greco, Mouloudji, and others for this classic chanson that became Autumn Leaves in English.

11:12am jeremy the listener:

what's TV?

11:12am Mark:

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? Who knows and who cares?

11:13am Visionary:

I like seeing creap really really clearly and crisply.

11:13am Visionary:

crap. so much for not proofreading.

11:14am Happy Listener:

It's going to be the same lame pixels you always had, unless you upgrade to the super-grainy flat TVs.

11:15am Carmichael:

This music is turning me into a cool slacker.

11:16am JJZ:

HDTV is awesome and now it somewhat pains me to watch SD content.

11:16am -max-:

That WFMU scrabble image would make a great t-shirt. Just saying...

11:16am Happy Listener:

At least it isn't turning you into a snarky hipster.

11:16am Joe Steele:

This song is syncing perfeclty with a car alarm outside. It took me a few minutes to realize they were seperate.

11:17am Janet H:

jet ear party is my favorite

11:17am GOD:

listens to slayer on the WOOFMOO

11:17am Carmichael:

Snarky requires too much effort. I'm slouching right now.

11:18am Paul Bushmiller:

Ken,

Long time listener, first caller. Wait different broadcast. Regarding Digtal TV. Agree 100%.
My sister who is an antitrust lawyer with the FCC, sent me this bulletin the FCC released yesterday.
http://www.fcc.gov/con-adv-061509.pdf
It tells how to do a double data-deleting rescan with a convertor box. It actually seems to help, try it. At the FCC they're actually pleased with how all this went. Idiots.

11:19am annie:

carm- this station has turned me into a slacker.

11:20am PMD:

This station has turned me into a non productive worker. Is that the same as slacker?

11:21am Janet H:

super t-bone

11:21am annie:

do i smell a class-action suit for damages to useful companies gone bad by slacker employees?

11:21am Happy Listener:

re: fcc alert: I didn't know that UHF only went up to 51 these days. What happened?

11:23am Joe Steele:

Work has made me an unproductive commentor, unfortunately.

11:24am Happy Listener:

I remember there being channels above 60 in the area where I grew up. "Better in my day", I say.

11:25am Janet H:

in high school for the art club i received an award....for "last minute hard worker"

11:25am triiiish:

And the priorities of private cable companies will never include that of a wide or open public interest - http://www.democracynow.org/2009/3/9/at_t_accused_of_discriminating_against

11:27am Janet H:

in college I had to make a bootleg birth certificate using photoshop.....good times!

11:29am Happy Listener:

AT&T says: "Who needs public access TV when you have YouTube?", and assumes you have a cam and an internet connection.

11:29am Janet H:

that wasn't even a school project...my boss told me to make it...

11:29am Mac:

Making fake documents was a lot more difficult before computers... anybody want my wax machine?

11:29am Parq:

FMU has turned me into a slacker and I'm a civil servant. Your tax dollars at work. On the other hand, a portion of my salary every year goes to FMU at marathon time, so your money is well-used at that.

11:30am Happy Listener:

Thanks for the link, triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish

11:30am paul:

i am so completely addicted to this new vaseliens anthology thingy. i think i've listened like 10 times this week so far.

11:31am Janet H:

i want to make an kubicbubble

11:35am triiiish:

You're welcome, Happyy Listener

11:36am John McCabe in LA:

nja dosen't like the new sticker?

11:36am -max-:

I told you, Ken. There is a reason why "DELL" rhymes with "HELL"!

11:37am Janet H:

nothing wrong with jonathan kane..it made my morning

11:37am NJ Turnpike Authority:

Cease! Desist! Music!

11:37am Marshall Stacks:

Ken, Autumn Leaves is the name of the (English) cover. Iggy used the original title.

11:38am Gregory:

Isn't the French "dead leaves" version the original, which was then translated into the English? So, who is right? Iggy or Doris Day?

11:38am Parq:

Re Lena, alleged by whom?

11:38am Carmichael:

Ken, scan and hang it on the playlist, next to an appropriate song. Like GG Allin.

11:38am Marshall Stacks:

What, no foreign-language comedian?

11:40am Gomez:

Tish, those are dead leaves!

11:43am refugee from ohio:

Touchdown Jesus! That's my hometown! Oh the memories ...

11:46am D:

the mp3stream.wfmu.org stream has always seemed off-balance, weighted left. Anyone else noticed this?

11:47am listener jeff:

As it usually does, WFMU spurs me to impulse buy stuff after hearing a song or looking at a playlist - I now have some Kubic Bubbles on the way.

11:49am Parq:

Love the photoshopped Buddy Christ.

11:51am Nostradamus:

I'm too tired to look into the crystal ball. Can anyone tell me if it's worth listening to Kenny G today?

11:54am Carmichael:

If you enjoy being challenged by the music. Definitely not slacker radio.

11:54am Vicki:

it's Kenny's last show for a year so what do you reckon?

11:55am PMD:

What a beautiful segue to Kenny's show.

11:56am Nostradamus:

If you insist. Yeah, PMD, you convinced me!

11:56am tom:

best song is the last

11:57am Vicki:

Ken, please can I have Wondermong?

11:57am still b/p:

Kenny gives the lash to the flesh of radio expectations, so tune in for The Last Welts.

11:57am Mark:

This encapsulates my usual reaction to Oasis perfectly

11:59am PMD:

Noonerology

12:00pm Ike:

I love Pauline Kael! And Ken and Kenny. And everybody. I love you all. Give me a hug RIGHT NOW, damn you!

12:01pm Janet H:

Thanks Ken for the birthday song again

12:01pm PMD:

Gee whiz

12:02pm -max-:

As you Will, Ike! Here are several hugs: OOOOOOOO

12:02pm Janet H:

release Dong Sun

12:03pm PMD:

We love Ken.

12:04pm PMD:

Even when he's sick.

12:04pm Joe Steele:

Which is always.

12:06pm PMD:

Hm... what does it say about me then that Ken didn't seem to appreciate my 'torture me Elmo' photo?

12:07pm PMD:

Am I the only one who hasn't moved on to KennyG's comment section?

12:07pm PMD:

la la la la la

12:08pm annie:

lalalalala

12:08pm Janet H:

i am still here too

12:08pm Big Brother:

I'm watching.

12:14pm paul:

there is no kenny g comment section. yet.
