9:09am Parq:

Who is the true Lord of the Winged Monkeys? You are, Station Manager Ken!

9:09am hamburger:

This is the time of the year where NJ is only +4 hours instead of +5 hours from London, which means one less hour to wait for Andy's mutilated nipple!! :D x o

9:19am Cheri Pi:

I sing this song to my dog all the time.

9:21am Anatomical Correctness:

Is it SFW?

9:23am Ken:

Thanks so much to MIke Adler for building me a new playlist picture database! Now I can sometimes have pictures that actually relate to the songs I play and I can still do it on the fly!

9:24am Vicki:

you and the winged monkeys

9:25am Ken:

Did Liz Taylor ever record? I dont know what to play for her!

9:26am Lizardner Dave:

Jean Shepherd did a monologue about a party for Elizabeth Taylor's birthday at MSG but that's 45 minutes long.

9:27am Bad Ronald:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/elizabeth-taylor-in-london/id211325059

However, it's not an Elizabeth Taylor album, although her voice is occasionally heard reciting historical prose.

9:27am Skirkie:

Someone at the station needs to obtain one of those tiger heads.

9:28am Happy Listener:

Ohaiyou Bakkayarou!

9:28am Package Store:

Liz still has quite a little tab with us. Hope her brats are good for it.

9:29am Pizzeria:

@Package Store: You should talk.

9:30am still b/p:

You could give us the audio from this nice Virginia Woolf clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nInE5TITzE8

9:30am glenn:

seven husbands. i guess liz never heard of friends with benefits.

9:30am Rebecca Black:

I have 36 million hits. So there, lozerz.

9:32am Ken:

Thanks still/bp!

9:36am Liz:

@glenn: I did hear of sharklike divorce lawyers, though. Worked for me.

9:38am Lived in UK:

The Crimson cover dude needs dental work bad. Like everyone else in England.

Kelley Osbourne

@Vicki: Maybe it's their ODD RELATIONSHIP TO FOOD. I'll ask Bryce.

9:42am Vicki:

Bryce has no teeth

9:42am Liz Audio:

Ain't Love Grand?

9:43am Cecile:

I will actually miss her. She was a down-home girl in spite of her jewels. She kept her friends for life, and soldiered on even though she had enough health issues that she could have died 12 times over.
And Passion was a 1/2 way decent perfurme. I used my free sample forever.

9:44am Dead Corporate Eyes:

ugghh, I can just picture this movie...so tough to watch!

9:45am HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA:

Yes, this bird is in Hudson County:

9:45am Hit Man:

God bless you Ken. Long live Peter. Liz too ... I guess.

9:46am annie:

cecile!! you would have been ecstatic saturday night, the chef here played german industrial rok till three in the am.. i had reached annoyed by midnight

9:47am Cecile:

10cc Worst band in the word, Ken?

Really, Annie? I might have been annoyed too - I tend to like placidity when i cook.

where are you cookin'?

9:47am annie:

hey ken you recall a deejay named "guad" saturdays 3-6 ?? sports show?

9:48am Ken:

Annie, on which station? Not on FMU!

9:49am Ken:

Is that 10cc?!

9:49am annie:

oh he was done cooking, he had taken up partying after dinner.. the menu here rocks, honey.. and i am helping at an inn now.. you can say i have a room at the... yep ken, fmu

9:50am Vicki:

take that back about 10cc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo40aTe_3JM

9:50am Cecile:

yes, it is, Ken!

9:51am BSI:

OH HELL, i missed the Sellers/Loren piece. I found a near-mint copy of that LP a while back for peanuts...... PEANUTS, I say!

9:51am Cecile:

that is so cool, annie! I'm so happy for you. And you chef friend sounds fun to party with

9:51am Ken:

OK Cecile, I stand corrected! I can see that my new image database is going to lead to all sorts of new problems..hahaha

9:53am annie:

well, he is, but he's a bit over the edge for me.. my room is located right over the bar..... whatev..

9:54am Cecile:

who did you say it was, Ken? I missed that part. Yeah, it's from their album Sheet Music - Dilla sampled it.

Between you and me, he's probably way over the edge for me. LOL!

9:55am Elisa:

Hello Ken and the eclectic WFMU listeners/music intelligensia

9:56am Ken:

Hi Elisa! I've missed you!

9:56am Elisa:

or is it spelled intelligentsia? I'm not intelligent...LOL!!

9:57am Elisa:

I missed you too, Ken!!!!

9:57am Bad Ronald:

Buon Giorno Elisa, I hope Ken doesn't insult you today...

9:57am bit shifted:

what happened to the time stamps and click links in the play lists ? Too much trouble or Da Man from RIAA clampin' down? Now I am all lost in cache as I listen more slowly than regular people.

9:57am Musicologist:

@Vicki: With that spoken-voice bit over music, on that track 10cc sounded like mashup before there was mashup.

9:58am Vicki:

it's true - there are some beautiful 10cc mashups

9:58am Elisa:

Buon giorno Bad Ronald!

10:00am Dan B From Upstate:

That list of "particularly gay" bands is excellent. I'll make sure that that is the reason my kids don't listen to the Spin Doctors.

10:00am Skirkie:

That gay bands thing reminds me of this awful political comic thing...I have to find that for you.

Gays who wanted to be scout leaders were depicted as hedonistic ancient Greeks dragging children into the woods.

10:00am Cheri Pi:

By my calculations the Spin Doctors are the worst band in the world.

10:01am Cecile:

I have had my ups and downs with 10cc, but overall, their first two albums and How Dare You? hold up really well.

10:01am jen v.:

i find it curious/wonderful that toby keith is listed as a gay band because he is a "cowboy"

10:01am Ken:

bitshifted, the time stamps go up after the show is over and archived. We have yet to allow for time shifting within a live show but we have talked about that...

10:02am Cecile:

jen v, I think Mr. listmaker is way in the closet, and that might just be wish fulfillment.

10:02am Dan B From Upstate:

In all honesty, the Spin Doctors was my first concert... (But I went for the opening acts).

10:03am annie:

cecile, i just sent you some youtube clips of the place

10:03am Skirkie:

Found it, that was easy:

http://bit.ly/6XpG4M

10:03am Cecile:

thanks, lady!

10:04am Elisa:

Please wait...for Berlusconi to pass on...hopefully we don't have to wait too long...

10:05am marq:

30 years ago the dictator list would have been all over Latin America. Remember when the U.S. was all worried about the communist domino thing?

10:06am jen v.:

@cecile: i'd definitely go with that theory, especially because he also says george michael is gay because he's "texan"

10:06am Elisa:

I hope that after uninstalling dictators they don't install more...darn it! I have hope...

10:06am Barry:

and thank g-d the dominos finally got here O:-)

10:08am listener mark:

We hear and obey Station Manager Ken. Lord and Master of the flying monkeys. How about we just go to plan B. We sit and drink coffee and you play mind numbing audio barbiturates.

10:09am Saddle:

It's dark, stinky, and hot down here. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

10:09am Elisa:

I might be able to go to Coachella in Indio next month...I'm saving my pennies fingers crossed!

10:09am Skirkie:

Ken, is a 908x463 pixel image no good for the playlist?

10:09am Elisa:

listener mark:
LOL!!!

10:11am Cecile:

re: Barry Adamson, when Geek Squad were still a little Minneapolis computer company, the company head commissioned Barry Adamson to write a Geek Squad company theme song!

10:14am Ken:

Skirkie My Father, I prefer images that are 350 pixels wide, or if a vertical image, then no taller than 350 pixels.

10:15am dale:

on the adamson cd, i love the little story of the princess and the kiss. a fairy tale that ends with blood gushing from one's mouth is always fun. oh ken, i sent in my plege, but had to up it so i could get another dj premium. sorry to make you do the extra accounting.

10:15am marq:

oh the wfmu gloves have fingers. I was thinking they were the bum glove kind.

10:18am Ken:

So i have a question... who here is not listening to the actual radio show? I know there are some of you. Dont be ashamed. Let me see a show of hands!

10:18am dale:

oh, is aquaman miliking a male goat?

10:18am Skirkie:

It's just that it loses it's goodness if I try to crop or re-size it.

10:18am Bad Ronald:

All Hail the Dancing Corndog!!!

10:19am AnAnonymousParty:

What the hell, you mean there's ALSO something to listen to here?

10:19am listener mark:

I also sent a mixed pledge,( paypal and a check), I wasn't able to steal a wi fi signal to send a paypal pledge for The Glen Jones Radio Programme featuring X-Ray Burns.
I listen on 90.1 WMFU.

10:19am bit shifted:

@ken thanks http://bit.ly/etOC1X image fits your specifications but is NOT free. I am listening half an hour ago.

10:20am ?:

It can happen if the computer is on but some other events are occurring that preclude the radio. Can currently hear the female singing lyricizing about waterfalls etc.

10:21am BSI:

watching and listening.
eyeballs and earballs.

10:22am Ken:

Skirkie - that is why you must make a small image and a large image. bitshifted - nice image but too big. it's 430pixels. I said 350.

10:23am marq:

I am at home today listening. but sometimes if I am not able to listen I check the list. I don't usually comment however unless I am listening.

10:24am Curmudgeon:

I'm listening, Dammit!

10:25am Ken:

Just so you know, I LOVE the idea that some people come here even though they can't or dont listen. Radio without listeners! Who woulda thunkit?!

10:26am Bad Ronald:

http://tinyurl.com/warholsliz

10:26am Radio:

All media experiences are mashing up. In media studies, we buzzword that under the label "convergence".

10:27am Cecile:

I listen to the show.

10:28am Ken:

I wont hold that against you, Cecile. I still love you.

10:29am Ken:

Radio, the convergence folks still think that it's essential to have radio listeners though.

10:30am Dan B From Upstate:

Banjo Monday!

10:30am AnAnonymousParty:

OK, I think I figured out how to do the listening thing, but all I can hear is a bunch of noise and some kind of caterwauling. Do I need a special plug-in thingy to clean it up?

10:30am Wendy del Formaggio:

Wow, this is quite an inspired cover of "Blue Monday." I like it!

10:31am Radio:

If you're not in Arbitron and don't have ad rates to set, why people are there and how they are they might really just be between you (the station) and them (audience, participants, etc.).

10:31am pierre:

i'm ashamed to admit that a do both and its taking a big part in my wednesdays afternoons. But how can i stop, Ken ? HOW CAN I STOOOP !
(i'm even quite ashamed to admit that i take a lot of inspiration from your images that you post there…) thank seriously you Ken Freedman

10:32am Skirkie:

I'm ...confused. Also keep getting distracted by the work I'm actually paid to do.

10:32am marq:

what if somebody listens to one of the streams and views Ken's playlist?

10:34am Brew:

What a lovely cover of blue monday

10:34am Carmichael:

Good morning, Kenneth and fellow audiophiles.

10:34am -max-:

Just got in. Will be coming to the 7SD show tonight, plan on getting there early so we can get our t-shirts. Be assured, we will only use them against Andy, not you Ken. See you there!

10:36am Vicki:

just banjos for the next hour please, Ken

10:36am pierre:

they use that banjo version of carmina burana, for those michael bay's movies

10:37am pierre:

10:38am HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA:

Will he follow up with the Valkyries banjo thing from Rango . . .

10:39am annie:

i absolutely love the sprock-ets vid.. mesmerizing..

10:39am Vivian:

This sounds like the Who-Another quick one..

10:41am Dan B From Upstate:

I... can't look away from the headbanging banjo playing eggs. It's mesmerizing.

10:42am Carmichael:

Actually Ken, it would be listeners without radio. I sometimes do that. Did Johnny Cash tour Poland and have a bastard child?

10:42am marq:

there is an international banjo festival in England this summer

10:43am Neg-guh-tor:

Ladislav, WTF?

10:45am still b/p:

There really is an act -- maybe more than one -- called Ban Jovi out there.

10:46am Carmichael:

Around here, there's a band called Those Darn Accordions.

10:46am Vicki:

Petty Booka (banjos)

10:47am Carmichael:

Ol' Pete sounds as wobbly as ever.

10:49am judy from croton:

Certainly am enjoying your show today as much as is humanly possible.

10:50am Jersey Boy:

Piscataway is thataway.

10:50am postmanpaul:

Just back from India, Ken... and damn it, it's more English there than here: will be pledging earnestly this weekend.

10:51am annie:

PMP!! welcome home!

10:52am Carmichael:

@PMP: Probably better take-away as well! Welcome back to the rainy streets of wherever the hell you call home.

10:53am dc pat:

HOLY SHIT, DYLAN'S GOING TO MAKE ME PUKE.

10:54am Wendy del Formaggio:

dc pat, why? Have you been listening to his Christmas album?

10:55am Vicki:

if you lived in NJ you'd hate this, er... oh nothing

10:55am Ken:

I'm with DC Pat - That was a stupid ass story. But it was about East Orange, NJ.

10:56am Ken:

Judy, im about to talk.. Turn off the radio!!

10:57am dc pat:

<PEEEEEEYUUUUKE> ahem, so is this Clay singing?

10:58am Skirkie:

You couldn't play a few more songs first so I could scroll down from Dylan, could you?

10:58am Jersey Boy:

If a DJ did a mic break, and everyone turned off their audio just before he started talking, would he make a sound?

10:58am listener mark:

I miss the fish and chips from Kearny,NJ.

10:59am Vicki:

rrrrrecipe forrrr disasterrrrrr

10:59am postmanpaul:

Hi annie! We ended up in Jungle Book jungle way down south, what a trip. Beside the Ganges in Varanasee the govt has a legal dope shack in the back streets. Did some snooping around there, as bodies were ceremoniously ushered past on stretchers to be cremated by the riverside.
Hi Carm, nice sunny springtime afternoon here on the UK south-coast!

10:59am dc pat:

Skirkie knows what I'm talking about....higga, higga....<EAAARRRLLLL>

10:59am BSI:

I long for the schnozz-cam.

11:00am bbell:

@postman paul: was your trip to India for business or enlightenment?

11:00am Bad Ronald:

...Hunting Tigers?

11:03am Andy's Nipple:

I'm already shitting myself. Happy?

11:03am BSI:

out / in, out / in...

11:04am Andy's Wallet:

Thanks, Ken. You're a PAL

11:10am postmanpaul:

@bbell: was strictly a tantrictourist!
Hi Bad Ronald, yeah, bagged a some trophies for my Gentlemans' Club! Most certainly.

11:10am βrian:

When I visit here, I must remember to enable animated gifs. The *only* such site on the intertubes.

11:17am Lizardner Dave:

HUMPPPAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

11:18am blip:

does gene simmons demand royalties from this?

11:19am Scott:

I think it was a Paul Stanley/Desmond Child number, actually

11:19am bbell:

@postmanpaul: I like that moniker - tantrictourist. Not a bad way to go through life!

11:19am Lizardner Dave:

I am looking forward to moving to the Kissisted Living Community.

11:20am blip:

yer right... but I don't think they'd care as much about that...

11:27am Skirkie:

Love how drug guy has a skull sitting there, because why not?

11:27am Maria D:

You thoroughly disturb and amuse me once again

11:32am Ken:

Whose arm is he shooting into? his own, or Jesus'?!

11:33am Bad Ronald:

His, unless the Nazz has ink...

11:33am Ken:

Well, it looks photoshopped, if you ask me.

11:34am PMD:

Oh, glad I get to listen to a half an hour. Ken is best experienced live. Love all the 'art' on the side.

11:35am Scott:

More importantly, is that the drugger's hand print on the door, Jesus', or maybe that of the former owner of that skull as he attempted escape?

11:35am βrian:

The uncanny sound of Kane.

11:37am dale:

i think the point is that we are all the body of christ, the lamb of god. and such we should be eaten with mint jelly

11:39am βrian:

Nay, but with Rosemary – the beautiful rose of the sea.

11:39am PMD:

@dale, I'll be sure to tell the Zombies that...

11:40am Scott:

...with the subtext that one should never play solitaire with an armed opponent.

11:40am Ken:

Not sure if you saw my Free Yoru Schnozzcam video from my first marathon show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPnqEwjqmKU

11:40am hamburger:

the kingdom of heaven is within!!

11:42am zombie:

say what again?

11:43am Skirkie:

Nunchucks on the doorknob! Just saw that.

11:44am Scott:

I freed my mind, my ass followed...and quickly reminded me why bidets are popular in France.

11:45am βrian:

@hamburger: And may contain parts of up to 1000 separate heavens in a single delicious patty.

11:46am marq:

jesus should take that gun and point it up and shoot it. two kinds of shooting up.

11:52am bbell:

not much muscle tone in the jukebox lady's behind.

11:52am dc pat:

bbell: thank god.

11:53am Ike:

Even now I am still OUTRAGED that during the first marathon SSD, the total pledge amt. on-air "prizes" weren't cumulative, so we don't get the 11K "prize," "Station Manager Ken lists his LEAST favorite ten WFMU shows!" I REALLY wanted to know, but I guess there was never any real chance of that.

11:53am ~L:

Ken, Andy's nipple-piercing is worse than the time he was water-boarded. Please start an Emergency Amnesty Fund for Andy, and take donations for WFMU to free Andy from the nipple-piercers grasp!

11:54am Bad Ronald:

Is that Ann Margaret's buttocks?

11:55am Wendy del Formaggio:

~L, it will only hurt for a few minutes, and if the piercer uses a small-gauge needle, it'll hurt even less, and he can take it right out when the show is over and not even have a scar. There's no need for alarm.

11:56am PMD:

Ken, not a bad German pronunciation! Not perfect, but hey...

11:57am dc pat:

Bad Ron: I do think you're right.

11:57am dc pat:

known to some of us as Ann Margrock.

11:57am hamburger:

will Andy Breckman's standup be on youtube?

11:58am Bad Ronald:

Ah DC Pat, you know your bums!!!

11:59am Handsome Harry:

Great show today.

12:00pm ~L:

I still say "Ouch!!!"
