Snow Day: Ken's show

Listener comments!

🚽

6:11am Ken:

Happy Snow Day everybody!

6:25am maestroso:

G'morning Ken. Only got about three inches here in north-western Juhzee. How much did you have to slog through?

🚽

6:38am Ken:

We got a foot - where you at, in Sussex County?

6:38am maestroso:

Yes, just outside of Sparta.

🚽

6:44am Ken:

Sorry you got shortchanged Maestroso.

6:59am maestroso:

No complaints here. Would have been nice for some x-country skiing though.

7:50am Robert:

By my eye out the window, looks like about 8" in the Bronx.

7:52am Robert:

I've got to get off this page before you start with the animated GIFs, or Frankenputer here will shut off. Working on a more permanent solution, though.

7:55am Okasa:

Morning Ken. Morning non-Kens.

8:02am Robert:

Morning, Mr. Burroughs.

8:14am f๑f๑ (:

Good morning, Ken & fellow Gif watchers!

We have 0 inches of snow here. We won!1

8:17am f๑f๑ (:

Ken,

I found the secret instrumental machine used to record the Jingle Cats album:

8:25am maestroso:

John Allen is playing (or played, assuming that it's a rerun) some great stuff this AM.

8:40am Asheville Jon:

morning people

🚽

8:42am Ken:

Yeah, John is a rerun today, sorry to say.

8:57am Robert:

Wow, weather.com for ZIP 10469 says est. 14.7", almost double what it looked like to me. Maybe I'll get a better idea when I go out.

9:00am Dan B From Upstate:

No snow up here for once, but the kiddies still have a snow day. -18 when I started the car this morning.

9:00am Emile:

Doesn't matter, JA's show was awesome

9:03am dale:

how did the comments start at 6? i'm gettin all kertwitterpated

9:05am Marcel M:

14.7 inches? Robert where do you live? Looks like way less here in Brooklyn.

9:05am f๑f๑ (:

PLU & Ergo!!!! Great way to start the show, Ken!

But WAIT...How come no one has LOL'd hard to the Katzen-klavier pics I posted some minutes ago?!

🚽

9:05am Guido (Cologne):

Hi Ken and everyone.
Now i understand why no playlist.

Arrival of winter announced, but no snow yet.
Don't even need it.

@dale this playlist was opemned before.

9:05am Sem Chumbo:

Morning, morning, morning. Snow, snow, snow. Ken, Ken, Ken.

9:05am Marcel M:

Ken logs in early to hear our thoughts, Dale.

9:05am fred von helsing:

all Buffalonians laff at your inability to cope w snow

9:06am r i s k y:

Hey ken, flip flop the track and artist titles? Goodmorning Ken! So happy to hear you!!!

9:06am Polk Biggins:

Greetings all! Scads of wind chill warnings here in the Midwest. But I warm and in command with c-store coffee, an apple, Cheerios and WFMU.

9:06am r i s k y:

Ken said Sussex, that's pretty cool.

9:07am dale:

i have no thoughts at 6 am. and as someone who grew up in western ny i agree with fred von helsing and laff a the tristates panic mode when ever it snows

9:07am Polk Biggins:

I think this is my first Ken show!

9:07am Sem Chumbo:

Buffalonians. The word has wings.

9:07am fred von helsing:

@dale right on

9:09am Dave B:

@FvH - s'no kidding!

9:09am Dan B From Upstate:

Even central new yorkers laugh at others. We work when there's two and a half feet of snow on the ground and another foot forecast.

9:09am f๑f๑ (:

Welcome aboard Polk!

9:09am Dr. Goot:

Butt Bongo!

9:10am dale:

silver crick strong, fred!

9:10am glenn:

lake effect snow. it's the best of snows.

9:10am fred von helsing:

@danB - from up Syracuse way, a.k.a. Averagetown USA ?

9:11am dale:

blizzard of 77 people?

9:11am Dan B From Upstate:

Close enough to SYR, fred.

9:12am Brendan:

Ken!

9:12am fred:

@dale and FVH: 0.25" of snow in Paris = all buses stop. 0.5" = no trains are running. 1" = most of the subway is closed, cars are stranded, everybody walks. Not sure you can stop laughing before the end of Ken's show

9:13am f๑f๑ (:

Butt Bongos seem much more difficult to play than the Katzenklavier piano cat.

9:14am Polk Biggins:

I just came from the Blizzard of 2077, in my time machine. For the record, entire meals DO NOT come in pill form in the future.

9:14am dale:

julie newmar looks a little dizzy. but she's so darned cute!

9:15am fred von helsing:

'77 in Potsdam NY. MISSED IT, RATS !!

9:17am northguineahills:

Everything is running over here. The L train was stopped over night, but was back running by 7am.

9:17am david c:

Ken, etc. - join the GIF Party at the Tate Museum:
http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/special-event/1840s-gif-party-call-submissions

9:17am dale:

it was pretty intense few days. we'll always have the home game and I SURVIVED tees

9:18am fred von helsing:

@fred At least it covers all the dog shit huh :)

9:20am P-90:

@Polk B. Time traveling friends of mine have said the same thing about entire meals NOT being available in pill form in the future, only single courses.

9:20am fred von helsing:

Is this a remote ? Or just an amazing simulacrum ?

9:20am kTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT:

phoning it in???

9:20am LovecraftDude888:

oh the L (hell)train! really it shut down? far out. My crew seems to be digging us out now....at 9 a.m. what fun. looks mainly like drifts and powder out there, not that bad.

9:21am Dave B:

1967 - my birthday party consisted of me and my siblings.

www.weather2000.com...

9:22am LovecraftDude888:

Alls I remember is the ice storm or whatever in 1977 or so, and we had no power for days, and that suckeedddd Otherwise we got around by car and foot but no power for a week was shitey

9:22am f๑f๑ (:

david c,

That's great !! Giffing has finally reached the uptight art world!

9:24am f๑f๑ (:

I once traveled to the future but I don't have memory of it. My memories just record past events.

9:25am Owlex:

No snow in texas

9:25am βrian:

"Time for some paperwork in Jersey City."

9:25am LovecraftDude888:

wow I was in Newton NJ for the Smithereens 2 yrs. ago...that was the sticks, man. Kinda. Saw the sign for Wild West City!1 whoohoo

9:26am LovecraftDude888:

Uncle Floyd greeted me...haha

9:26am Alton Brown:

You should only use Kosher salt, duh.

9:27am Owlex:

If jersey is so polluted why is its motto the "garden state"?

9:28am cee dubbles:

ken can you head over my way please?

9:28am fred von helsing:

@owlex It's a misheard "garbage state"

9:28am Owlex:

hahaha

9:28am fred von helsing:

superbly gripping radio entertainment

9:29am βrian:

CaCl₂ is your friend.

9:29am Ike:

@Owlex, believe it or not, there are also some really pretty forests and gardens and such in NJ. They're just really polluted gardens and forests.

9:30am Brendan:

Feel the salt ken

9:30am Brendan:

Be the salt, really get into it

9:31am Owlex:

the man who sings about city and towns YEAH

9:31am P-90:

@Dave B.: Thanks for that link. I remember the 1969 blizzard, I was kid, but school was cancelled so it was a historical holiday in MY memory. The blizzard came after the garbage collectors in the city had been on strike for weeks, there where huge piles of plastic garbage bags on the sidewalks, which were then covered with snow, forming these huge white "walls" of snow lining the sidewalks at the curb. It wasn't like THE disaster of the year (remember Star Trek was cancelled in '69), just another NY adventure.

9:32am Brendan:

If you n

9:32am Owlex:

Sweet casio tone preset

9:33am Dan B From Upstate:

The Paranormal Song Warrior sounds an awful lot like the Compassionate and Objective Jokerfan.

9:33am Emile:

the passionate and objective jokerfan under another name??

9:33am Mike East:

well that vortex song will be stuck in my head all day. Thanks a lot for that.

9:33am fred von helsing:

drive on Rt.3 thru that valley in west Nutley and BREATHE DEEP the delicious B vitamins !!

9:33am Brendan:

If you need a hand breaking back into the studio, give me a call ken

9:34am f๑f๑ (:

I also think that was the Passionate and Objective Jokerfan.

9:35am Marcel M:

It did sound like Jokerfan. I'll be singing that whilst walking the dogs today.

🚽

9:35am AnAnonymousParty:

Now I feel as if I'm stuck in a vortex, even though I'm not.

9:39am Brendan:

Don't sleep on endoplasmic reticulum either it is highly underrated

9:40am Marcel M:

My mother told me they used to say the, "leave room for the holy spirit," line to her when she was in school hehe.

9:42am P-90:

We used to hunt squirrels in Central Park with those old timey 45's

9:44am salie:

p-90; please tell us you got one once

9:44am sugarwolf:

Only 2-3 inches here in 90.1 land yet it was still horrible last night.

9:44am βrian:

@p-90 How did you prepare them?

9:45am P-90:

Once? Those things were deadly! (Check the GIF)

9:45am βrian:

I suggest braising in red wine with green peppercorns.

9:45am f๑f๑ (:

Dan, Emilie, Ken et al,

Did you guys noticed how laborious it is to type 'Passionate and Objective Jokerfan'?

9:46am fred von helsing:

scale'em up for the Anti-Gojira Self Defense Force

9:47am P-90:

No native New Yorker would ever want to eat a CP squirrel if he didn't have to, we left them for the wild dogs.

🚽

9:47am Webhamster Henry:

Character Limit could be a nice talk show name.

9:47am cee dubbles:

is that "My Secret Love" bed music?

9:48am Dan B From Upstate:

It really is, fofo.

9:48am egal:

Squirrels are too squirrelly to be caught by a mere dog.

9:49am Brendan:

This cold can only be resolved by Khlam

9:49am salie:

wild dogs too, i think i just got some new childhood memories, any more details?

9:49am Character Limit:

@WebHenry: or a good Comments handle

9:50am f๑f๑ (:

Yes, Dan B. So for now on I'm gonna refer to him as the POJ guy, ok?

So the POJ guy is a real Passionate and Objective Entrepreneurfan?!! Wow!

9:50am βrian:

Willard was a native New Yorker. And Ben.

9:51am Marcel M:

So, 6-9 has a web only show. And on the air is the Jewish programming right? Do they just broadcast in different rooms at the WFMU studios or how does it work?

9:51am Character Limit:

@egal; but fresh vinyl-killed squirrels make fine carrion

9:51am f๑f๑ (:

By the way, is it Passionate or Compassionate?

Or more importantly, does it matter?

9:52am Character Limit:

@KEN: Yes! Take the phone to the Boy's Room!

9:52am cee dubbles:

Hi llcrest 3-3105

9:52am Brendan:

Play topographic oceans and go to the bathroom. It always makes me go

9:52am Dan B From Upstate:

I think it's passionate, and i mistyped. I can never remember.

9:52am Mike Noble:

I can never remember the power symbol binary.

9:53am Sam:

I bet Gilbert and Sullivan could have written an amusing patter song about your binary remembering problem.

9:53am salie:

look, will ken donate some 45's and will p-90 take a group of us out?

9:54am Green Mountain Man Mark:

Both numbers one and two are noisy business.

9:54am jan:

Yes, we listeners are lucky because we can easily 1 or 2 while listening to your program and the can actually ease those eliminations.

9:55am fred von helsing:

The bathroom break thing has been done by Birdy Nam Nam

9:56am P-90:

@ Marcel M. I believe the Zionists do the 6-9 show from their own bunker somewhere

9:57am YETI BOB:

Ken, these are all great, but most of them (like the Buzzcocks) are at least two notes. But I guess you are confused about 1 vs 2.

9:57am DCE:

Wild Guitar!

9:57am Marcel M:

I knew the cowgirl in the sand was coming! Neil is the best at the one note solos

9:58am Jeezy:

I always said: One note is TOO much. Minimize, keep it simple man!

9:58am paulWCBN:

wondering "Sleighride To Heck" by James Kochalka Superstar is in this 1-note guitar solo mix

9:58am Sam:

This track perfectly sums up how vacuous and predictable pop/rock music is.

9:58am P-90:

Neil Young hads done a few great truly 1-note solos. One of his specialties, actually

9:58am Marcel M:

Need some Rallizes Denudes in here

9:59am Marcel M:

Yes Neil is the king of the one note solos for sure.

10:01am P-90:

Ace Frehly did some on stage back in the day, before he learned to play another coupla notes

10:01am f๑f๑ (:

Attention: To the people that diss the great Tales from a Topographic Ocean album. I have bad news for you:

The spirit of Rick Wakeman will hunt your dreams and it's not going to be nice as he'll be wearing his special cape and he'll make you play his keyboard so fast that it will make your fingers bleed while you're sleep.

10:02am Goyim in the AM:

Rooting for "Starless" from King Crimson...

10:02am Green Mountain Man Mark:

It is goddamned mutherfucking cold out. Teens below. Snot freezes on first inhale.

🚽

10:04am Ken:

Mark, the trick is to not pull the snot into the nasal canal until the 2nd or 3rd inhale. You're Welcome!

10:04am Sam:

Have those glaciers in Greenland refrozen yet?

10:04am Marcel M:

I gotta leave soon to go walk dogs in this weather.

10:04am Mike Noble:

has he played "big sky" yet?

10:05am YETI BOB:

Sam: Actually. no.

🚽

10:06am Ken:

I like the Cinnamon Girl solo so much I looped it a few times.

10:07am Marcel M:

I appreciated that Ken

10:07am Mark S:

"spirit of Rick Wakeman" I thought he was still with us.

from Wikipedia:

Wakeman, however, felt Tales from Topographic Oceans was pretentious and – despite its ambition – insubstantial

10:07am Jeezy:

I totally disagree, @Sam. It shows the breadth and excitement of what simple pop can do, amongst other things.

🚽

10:08am Vivian:

Ken, thank you for the Cinnamon Girl loop. Did you see Neil's show at Carnegie Hall?

🚽

10:08am AnAnonymousParty:

Can someone post the TAB for this?

10:08am Green Mountain Man Mark:

I have not slept in days. Suffering from a bipolar vortex.

10:08am Jeezy:

Wow, and only $3:
bridgetownrecords.bandcamp.com...

10:08am Mike Noble:

sign me up for team topographic

10:09am salie:

great, so i'm gonna be the only one standing in central park with The Streak and 2 Vicki Lawrence 45's?

10:10am Marcel M:

Yeah Sam try to argue that that Southern Man one note solo isn't getting you boppin around

10:10am Mark S:

Neil's motto is 'I'm going to play that note until I get it right"

10:11am Sam:

Maybe you're right Jeezy. I can't figure it out myself. Whether the simplicity makes it better or worse.

10:12am Neil:

Actually, it's "I'm gonna play that not until YOU get it".

10:12am f๑f๑ (:

But Mark S,

That was Rick said to the Wikipedia journo. Of course he was going to lie them! Real fans like me know how he really feels about the album. Your blasphemous thoughts are only going to bring you trouble tonight while sleeping.

10:12am bibi:

it is a point for minimalism in general, the balance between effectiveness and subtlety. singularity and expressivity...

10:13am f๑f๑ (:

I am sad to say that I haven't recognised ANY solo yet. How many solos have you guys recognised so far?

10:13am Mike Noble:

disappointed; no "big sky" (unless I missed it at the beginning)

10:14am YETI BOB:

WOW THATS A LOT OF NOTES ALL OF A SUDDEN

10:14am bibi:

wasnt focused, hope 'i wanna be sedated' was included.

10:14am bibi:

ken tricked us.

10:14am Yngwie Malmsteen:

"Too many notes" -now THAT'S funny!

10:16am Marcel M:

hahhahahhaha

10:16am Jeezy:

Yikes, fofo! You need to step up your game... There was the Who, Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield...Ummmmm....

10:17am KOTJ:

At occupational therapy this morning that awful Peter, Bjorn and John song was playing and all the "therapists" were whistling it. Thanks for exorcizing that demon with better whistling.

10:17am YETI BOB:

buzzcocks, Eno ...

10:18am YETI BOB:

Gang of 4 ...

10:18am Jeff:

I can't hear "Sleepwalk" without thinking it's the end of a Vin Scelsa show.

10:18am bibi:

@ yngwie, you had time to set a personalised profile on the way to dr dr barclay ? well done.

10:19am f๑f๑ (:

Oh, Jeezy,

But that's old geezer music! Where are the Rhianna solos? The Cyrus ones?!

10:20am Green Mountain Man Mark:

I just went number two. It was loud.

10:20am dale:

this guy's not just whistling dixie. really - he's not.

10:21am MD:

i wHISTLE For a living!!!!

10:21am kTTTTT:

Ken, are you familiar with The Whistling Nun Sister Jean? Strange Private Press stuff from the late 60s...

rateyourmusic.com...

10:22am MD:

Happry snowpocalipse Ken and Family!!!

10:23am Green Mountain Man Mark:

I thought it was not a whistle but two midgets playing a lumberjack saw.

10:24am Skating Giraffe:

Just lovely, but now my legs hurt. And it's so cold, my tongue is blue.

10:25am Green Mountain Man Mark:

Fucking cold out.

10:26am f๑f๑ (:

I whistle in such a high pitch that only dogs appreciate it. Or that's what I said to people to justify my lack of whistling skills.

🚽

10:27am Ken:

I dont know her Katie but I will check her out. Please eliminate most of your T's - its messing up something.

10:27am snowed in listener:

Can we please move on with this music. The dogs only building are all howling

10:28am f๑f๑ (:

Am I the only one that sees the crystal clear relationship between the Quintent glass & strings music and its accompanying GIF?

10:31am dale:

i was gonna ask for jim reeves sleep inducing version of the blizzard but i thought we were done with the blizzard set

10:32am f๑f๑ (:

I always imagined the Passionate and Objective..etc. being a tin foil hat kind of guy. I was damn right:

http://o.scdn.co/300/65ca8fb4834e5f305be5847ff6c3b51d0aefa3bc

10:36am KOTJ:

Tennyson, Grateful Dead, Mudhoney, Torch of Mystics and Double Bummer....Maybe some Bongwater about now.

10:36am LovecraftDude888:

It looks pretty bloody cold out there. Sun is kind of out here though....I haven't ventured out yet. will later. But is he into Green Mountain coffee???

10:37am LovecraftDude888:

what about a #3.5?

10:37am listener james from westwood:

it was indeed lbj. man could talk through a post-chili shit vortex.

10:37am Davee:

NO GRUNTING!!!

10:38am Goyim in the AM:

Your sigh was a total tell, Ken.

10:38am dale:

i'll bet andy has made his 'assistant' accompany him to the can.

10:38am slater:

i heard it

10:38am Davee:

What's that smell?

10:38am paula pc:

hand wash?

10:38am SpeedyPete:

Wait, I thought I was listening to Ken on WFMU but it turns out this must be Howard on Sirius.... gross.

10:39am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Ken, my dad is a pro at talking to me on the phone whilst doing his business in the bathroom. The only way I knew he was in there was the flush sound.

10:39am The Toilet:

Vortex, schmortex.

10:39am Davee:

I guess it's ok, the NSA is already listening to our bathroom activities.

10:40am Davee:

Which way did the water spin?

🚽

10:40am Ken:

I'm crushed, Speedy Pete. Compared to Howard Stern by an anonymous poster on the internet. Absolutely crushed.

10:40am listener james from westwood:

i had the reverse; i had an aunt who would talk at you through the bathroom door while you took care of biz.

10:41am Davee:

Did you wipe?

10:42am f๑f๑ (:

Toilet DJ humour...way better than the plain Toilet humour. The former has audio, the latter is like an un-animated GIF (very boring).

10:43am Davee:

You know when someone yawns . . . . I need to go to the can now.

10:44am TDK60:

Dug that bad Eastern picking. Making fun of the 60s?

10:47am dale:

i've taken the cordless into the powder room if i'm expecting my old lady to call. can't imagine how much fecal matter is on a phone. or the computer keyboard for that matter. or KEN'S MIKE.

10:47am LovecraftDude888:

Gene Hackman...head near the toilet with shotgun mic! eavesdropping on Ken's nefarious activities...

10:48am TDK60:

Of course, all employees must wash their hands before returning to the studios.

10:49am Andrew Waterloo:

Mogwai has some vocoder

10:49am LovecraftDude888:

I love when it's posted that in some cruddy Dunkins and there's no soap and the sink is coated with slime!

🚽

10:49am AnAnonymousParty:

Does this never end?

10:50am still b/p:

Hah. Gene wearing the raincoat that looks like a cheap shower curtain.

10:50am LovecraftDude888:

All employees must leave all crap music at the door, and wash hands with slime

10:50am KOTJ:

No soap, radio.

10:50am LovecraftDude888:

still b/p! ha!

10:50am Owlex:

is there really a battle of the bands on 7sd today?

10:51am KristinaKoffee:

tuning in on a snow day! but we don't get snow days, just a growing sense of anxiety that you're the last one in the office. but it's just easier to say snow day.

10:51am Yvonne:

I feel flushed.

10:51am bibi:

@andrew, mogwai has way to many vocoders. i hear they sold their guitars and bought vocoders. i hear...

10:51am LovecraftDude888:

I'm making myself some more Peet's in five....java fix

10:52am Green Mountain Man Mark:

yes

10:53am Andrew Waterloo:

@bibi I'm just surprised they still exist as a complete active and popular band.

🚽

10:53am Ken From Hyde Park:

From one Ken to another, a helpful hint: The gas gauge on your car's dashboard should have a little arrow that points to which side has the gas cap. lifehacker.com...
Sorry I didn't call into 7SD last week. I had some family commitments at the time.

10:53am f๑f๑ (:

oh, man. Been listening to Ken's show for almost 6 years and became a huge S7D fan last week when I listened to the sell heat stunt.

🚽

10:54am Ken:

Yes, there really is a battle of the bands on Seven Second Delay tonight. Get you bandcamp and youtube links ready and then call in.

10:54am steve:

hey Ken, this is probably a dumb question but have you tried emailing Matt F and asking? im assuming you've been in contact with him on account of the Andy Breckman song. i wrote him an email about one of his movies the other day and he seemed really excited and willing to provide lots and lots of info to anyone who gets in touch with him

🚽

10:55am Ken:

Get outa town Ken from HP, is that true? I had to draw a big arrow with a sharpie inside my car to tell me where the gas tank was.

🚽

10:56am Ken:

I will write him Steve!

10:56am Neg-guh-tor:

Tompkins is an old friend of mine. He's just the best. He was on Duane's show promoting the vocoder book last year.

10:56am dale:

who did electric kingdom? that is all vocoder-y

10:56am People Like Us:

oh it's the man from The Tingler

10:57am pete frampton:

Do you feel like we do?

10:57am Neg-guh-tor:

Twilight 22, dale.

10:58am still b/p:

De schmell uff de peoples -- volk odor?

11:00am steve:

frampton you and your talkbox aren't fooling anyone

11:00am Jim Price:

Finally Ken. Brrrr cold, snow day. We've been waiting for it!

11:00am Owlex:

bell labs computer speech mp3s wfmu.org...
from early 60's i think

11:01am dale:

i have a mixtape imade in the early 80s with that, whodini's magic wand, bunch of goofy stuff.

11:01am f๑f๑ (:

Ken,

Is there a reason why there's no way to access archived 7SD shows from previous years with the WFMU app?

Because there's no way to make work the flash player from a Android mobiles if you go directly to the wfmu.org website using a normal mobile browser.

11:02am bibi:

ken, that new head gif prevents me from working. thats not nice.

11:03am f๑f๑ (:

Who first used vocoder? I think Iron Butterfly preceded Frampton. [?]

11:03am Rev. Turnip Druid:

YAYAYAYAY.
Natural Snow Buildings = always a good decision.

11:04am Rev. Turnip Druid:

.........and hello.

11:05am Owlex:

this is reminiscent of Jim O' Rourke, he just turned 45 on the 18th. How about some "ghost ship in a storm" ken

11:05am TDK60:

Dig this Snow outfit.

11:05am dale:

11:06am steve:

TDK60 - Frampton used a talkbox, not a vocoder

How to Wreck a Nice Day at the Beach by Dave Tompkins

🚽

11:09am Guido (Cologne):

The thing about miltary is true.
It originally was for encoding messages.
The "robot-voice"-thing originally was the decoding process.

11:11am Owlex:

18 cd box set. I'm intimated

11:12am steve:

"How To Wreck A Nice Beach" - its how someone heard "How to recognize speech" on an early vocoder test

11:13am Neg-guh-tor:

www.amazon.com...

11:13am Cheri Pi:

Do the Duul!

11:14am Owlex:

Amon Duul - my favorite murderous German hippy commune band

11:14am Cheri Pi:

Dabbnabbit I missed natural Snow Buildings due to lame weather discussion with interfering coworker!!??

11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid:

11:14am f๑f๑ (:

Actually, there are no pre-2014 archived shows that you can access in the WFMU app! Aarrgg. How come?! Does someone knows why is that? Is it because a technicality? How can I help to help fix it?! Please someone tell me. I'm not desperate though. PLEASSE!

11:15am Dave B:

I think Wendy Carlos on "A Clockwork Orange" OST from 72 was the first commercial use of vocoder...

11:15am Rev. Turnip Druid:

INTERFERING COWORKER MUST BE DISAPPEARED.

11:15am Cheri Pi:

How to Wreck is also a nice little read for the casual vocoder fan.

🚽

11:16am Guido (Cologne):

People, that's the other Düüls ... the commune not the #musicians'.

11:16am f๑f๑ (:

This guy is better than Amon Düll.

🚽

11:16am Ken From Hyde Park:

The dog hijacking the sled is hilarious!

11:17am KristinaKoffee:

DARPA's new project uses vocoders to equip those robo hellhounds with a voice.

11:17am Cheri Pi:

"I only listen to Amon Düül 2" [insider local record store joke]

11:19am Owlex:

I bought an Amon Duul record off a biker who was selling his possessions off the side of a highway. He just got divorced and was starting a new.

🚽

11:20am Guido (Cologne):

DECCA 'full frequency range recordings'-technology has also a WWII background.

11:20am Goyim in the AM:

Tomita Time

11:25am Brendan:

11:32am Subway:

"What will $5 buy"

Oooh, I know the answer to this one. Pick me! Pick Me!

🚽

11:34am Guido (Cologne):

For those who don't know:
It used to be one commune that loved stoned jamming (not considering themselves as a band).

After Essener Songtage Festival 1968 they devided in Amon Düül I (the commune) and Amon Düül II (the 'professional musicians').

But still:
The average WFMUer knows better than most Germans.
Allright?

11:34am Owlex:

"come to the meat department and let me show you" Come on, seriously who approved this message

11:34am Merv Griffin:

🚽

11:44am Guido (Cologne):

11:45am Davee:

Huskys wear jeans?

11:46am Mayor "X":

Seriuosly, If I was to "out" you-know-who, would it have to be on your station? To qualify for the shirt. And do I get to pick, or does it have to be that dog and cow thing?
