Brian Turner celebrated it really well.
Just black metal and the guys from Khanate doing growly PSAs and IDs.

Nein, nein, nien!

9:08am john from Oslo:

Good morning - good nine

9:08am trish:

I don't get the significance. Or it's not meaningful enough to register. Is it like wishing on the time when the hrs and minutes match?

9:08am annie:

can i do it? make this comment come out at the right nine?

9:09am Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn:

I am going to pick up some Magic Hat #9 on my way home this evening. I will drink one every 9 minutes.

This is shaping up like one of Meghan's Underwater Theme Park shows, which is one helluva outstanding show, btw.

9:13am janno:

9 best songs from "69 love songs" !

9:16am Michael:

I didn't pick up on the 09-09-09 date at all: I just thought Ken was trying to say, 'Let's see them get a perfect 'Rock Band' score on _this_ Beatles piece.'

9:16am Lizardner Dave:

Joke for Andy Breckman to tell: A dozen Albinos assaulted a German girl and tried to rape her and she yelled "Nein Nein!: so three of them left.

It's got everything. It's a rape joke AND an Albino joke.

9:16am JJZ:

I concur. Underwater Theme Park is fun.

9:17am trish:

Thanks Cecile.
Happy Arbitrary Day to one and all !

9:38am trish:

9:39am Dan B:

9:56am postmanpaul:

happy 9's ken. as you are no doubt aware, we have some peculiar ways of doing things over here in the uk; one of them is writing the date - our day precedes the month, which makes it 9/9/09 over here. hang on a minute...

9:57am john from Oslo:

Ken if you are doing this yourself - on Traktor - I'm very impressed!

9:58am PMD:

The marimba thing...All I can say is those triplets had great plastic surgeons.

10:15am Trapper:

My upstairs neighbor never stops talking, out on the fire escape.

10:16am Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn:

What kind of fools to you take us for? That is clearly a wooden bat you are using, not a metal bat.

10:19am dictater:

I forgot this is live, and Im sober!!!!

10:20am Dim Reaper:

99 and 1/2 won't do.

10:20am Trapper:

Sober so early in the morning?

10:22am Carmichael:

Howdy Ken and listeners.

10:23am Ken:

10:40am dictater:

BSI, you keep your G-D eyes of a Bacon Girl, I already paid on her dowry and wont have no usurpers.

10:40am The Log Lady:

I haven't had a beer since Friday, but my pee still smells like beer! What's up with that?

10:41am john from Oslo:

Did you pee into a beer can?

10:42am Carmichael:

Hell Dictater, if that's the case then I call dibs on up-in-the-air lady.

10:42am Ken:

nna, the most played song on WFMU is probably a Beatles song or something Lowest Common Denominator like that. We once checked the most commonly played artists in our playlist database and it was like The Beatles, The Ramones, The Beach Boys.... bands that get played once or twice by dozens of DJs.

10:42am Cecile:

Ken, I have a Ratatouille Little Golden Book called "our friend the Rat."
It's awesome.
Do you think Patton Oswalt would clock me if I asked him to autograph it?

10:42am dicater:

That there is a cause your pee is beer girl, go ahead and drink up on that.

10:43am Cecile:

I was sure it was the Tom Tom Club's Wordy Rappinghood...

10:43am The Log Lady:

No, John from Oslo, that would be a waste of a perfectly good beer.

10:43am BSI:

b-b-but dictater...

10:47am John McCabe in LA:

10:48am BSI:

...i just have a tenner until payday so I'll pray to various gods for a swift divorce....

10:48am GP:

Morning all - Been trying to keep a low profile. The I.T. police are watchin the bandwidth and doing some net monitoring.
I also found an interesting minimalist website that plays only Cajun music that is still not blocked here: http://www.radiowayne.com/cajun
Not to take anything away from FMU, but I need my Cajun fix every now and then!
Hope everyone has a super 09/09/09.

10:49am The Log Lady:

Jay Z, I didn't say I appreciate the odor of ALL urine... You can keep yours.

10:49am Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn:

Actually, the title of this song ought to be "If 6 WERE 9."

10:50am Sven O:

My friend used to have 99 red balloon day on Nena's birthday. He would fill his room to the ceiling with red balloons. It was better than romper room. It tooka couple of hours to blow them up. We drank red wine and went nuts.

10:50am GP:

LOL, those animated drummers in that Ceatano Veloso frame were in rhythm with Jimi's band!

10:51am trish:

shoulda been a schoolhouse rock number

10:51am john from Oslo:

Ahh, lukewarm beer and flat ; )

10:52am Carmichael:

You need some new friends, Sven.

10:54am Ken:

So my question is: what did Bacon Girl's sign say originally? the word "bacon" was clearly the work of a vandal / prankster.

10:56am Sven o:

SATAN

10:57am BSI:

SCRAPPLE

10:59am GP:

11:01am bobs:

11:02am Vicki:

FREE BANNER

11:03am Ike:

Mmmm, Scrapple and Jandek! Perfect together.

Why didn't my math question add up to 999? I feel gypped.

11:04am Noel:

Hey! we just had a big rat scare this week here in Alberta. Thought there might be a nest in North East Calgary. Turned out to be only a couple of rats, I think its been taken care of.

11:05am The Log Lady:

Receive internet fame?

I didn't find any original image when I Googled it but I did find a web site with lots of funny pictures:

http://luse.ipt.net.nz/about/

11:06am Webhamster Henry:

That's Ubu RWAH!

11:07am joan:

who was the guy who did the PSA you played between Jimi Hendrix and Nagomy Karabac? I missed him identifying himself in the beginning. His voice was so damn familiar - it's driving me crazy.

11:07am Carmichael:

Some people call me the Space Junko ...

11:08am Margaret Meehan, Central:

11:09am Doug in Canada:

11:10am Carmichael:

Ken, could you Traktor the theme from Mannix with something? Burl Ives, maybe?

11:13am Snortley:

Hey Ken, is the booster transmitter up and running now?

11:15am the day:

Remember the episodes before Mannix was an independent PI, when he worked for some big outfit that allowed him to run stuff through computers all the time in his case solving...remember? Mannix was up to the elbows of his sportsjacket in computer-age thinking early on.

11:16am Carmichael:

HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are indeed the man. Thanks!

11:17am Dan B:

This mashup is working... I like it!

11:19am trish:

11:26am Ken:

Snortley - The booster was up but we had to take it down while we work out some bugs in it. But the project is going well. It should all be worked out really soon.

11:27am joan:

thanks Dan B for the info about Liebermann - i guess i kind blotted Lieberman out of my mind....

11:27am bb:

11:28am annie:

11:28am holland oats:

11:29am still b/p:

The sibilants of God are afflicted.

11:29am Cecile:

11:29am Bill W:

I never knew the Big Guy sounded so much like Rod Serling.

11:30am Parq:

God is a recording artist? Wow, who managed to sign Him?

11:30am Ne-guh-tor:

OK, Ken, Cash has me looking for my crack pipe!

11:30am Eric:

11:32am De Rocher:

Cash is slaying me

11:33am WishUwereEAR:

Play the song 99 by Screeching Weasel. They suck but it's got 99 in it

11:33am Dan B:

Yay! My favorite Corn Weenie remix!

11:33am holland oats:

cash made that sound like a dylan song

11:33am still b/p:

Try some unauthorized sharing of the Almighty's songs and see what happens. Get Yahwhacked.

11:34am Cecile:

11:34am Nag:

Hey, switch artist and title there.

11:36am jamesie:

11:36am Globus Crimp:

The best Corn Weenie EVAH!

11:36am nine:

11:39am B&S:

One joke over the nine, sweet Jesus,
One joke over the nine.
Themin' with Ken on the free-form station,
One joke over the nine.

11:42am Carmichael:

OK, I'm tossin' back up-in-the-air girl for one of those feather-head gals. I'm finicky ....

11:42am Gp:

Jamesie..tell me about it....I once filled out a survey for that group that Tom Cruise and Beck, et al. are affiliated with.....% address changes later, they still send me junk mail at least once a week....If we want to find Bin Laden, put them on the case, he would not last a week.

11:43am GP:

% = 5

11:47am jamesie:

I am going back next Monday for another sess. (free) but this time I am taking a minidisk with me. They are fuckin strange, you have to give 12% of your earnings and not talk! The whole thing is run by a pervert from his mansion in CA. Go along and ask them awkward questions and record it. They are pussy cats compared to the scientologists tho. Happy 9/9/9 jamesie

11:47am jan:

11:49am copernicus:

Ken- you should lay tunes in "9" -
ala Scatterbrain, The Crunge- have fun

11:54am trish:

I give this show a 9/b. It was nearly 8, but I found it danceable toward the outer range.

11:55am Eric:

Time for lunch. Thanks for making the morning enjoyable.

11:55am trish:

er, 8n

11:56am Ken:

Ya'll are clearly grading me on a curve and I thank you!
