Listener comments!

♥ 6:10am -Ken:

Morning everybody!

♥ 7:05am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning, Ken and freeform fanatics. WFMU isn't the only place with traffic cone issues. www.mashable.com...

7:36am Listener Robert:

Aiieee, kea!

7:46am Listener Robert:

Just "toured" by Google Street View -- the same road has a 1-lane bridge too, but short enough that there are no signals or cones, hence not a kea attraction. There's a parallel ped br.

♥ 8:34am -Ken:

Music PLEASE! (requests please)

8:38am fʶfʶ (:

Hello, Kens, Listener Robert!

Cuban music (to celebrate Cuba Libre/Castro)

Sissy and Bobby were former members@AnAnonymousParty.

♥ 9:13am (Murakami Whywolf))):

AnAnonymousParty:
I'm afraid I think of him as "Chairman Koji" with a white tiger at his feet, as I've seen "Futurama"'s parody of the Japanese original more times than the original.

9:14am melinda:

Morning! I too would like some MCS or other JCS covers.

9:15am Cliff in Prague:

Good morning

♥ 9:21am Yvang:

You can't be wrong with Gang of Four!

♥ 9:23am Webhamster Henry:

Maybe you can pull up some of those old "Glad To Be Gay" mashups?

♥ 9:25am Yvang:

This show has been hacked by the russians!

9:25am Cliff in Prague:

You mean the Finns

9:25am JakeGould:

Russian Muppets.

♥ 9:27am Uncle Michael:

That's one way to describe Finns.

♥ 9:29am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Google Translate:

♥ 9:34am (((Murakami Whywolf):

No politics today except for: whatever.scalzi.com...

9:34am Jack:

If I can't tell the difference between flammable and inflammable, does that make me flame retardant?

♥ 9:35am Webhamster Henry:

Wait a minute - I thought this was a Bob & Ray song?

9:35am Nellie:

You are Ken!!!

♥ 9:36am MD:

MEEEEE.......OAW!!!

9:36am Cliff in Prague:

I was just thinking this needed to be pooeyfluted

9:36am fʶfʶ (:

Better SSD stunt idea: Burning of the USA flag AND the drawing of prophet Mohamed. It's a perfect plan because ultra-nationalists and ISIS terrorists both would support and/or protect SSD from being hurt from the other band.

9:36am phillip in hiding:

well there is a first of all the decades ive listened to ken's show. playong right said fred "im too sexy"

♥ 9:36am MD:

Unicorn Hunk!!!

♥ 9:37am Rob Weisberg:

Is that LIVE whistling I hear?!

♥ 9:40am MD:

You mean I am not allowed to anymore???!!!

9:41am phillip in hiding:

i think in one of the southern states its still legal to kill mormons

9:41am Listener Robert:

Easier: Paint Mohamed on the US flag.

♥ 9:42am melinda:

I thought the news chatter in the background was part of an original mix. I like the combo.

9:43am bobdoesthings:

good morning.

♥ 9:44am AnAnonymousParty:

Fine, don't take my call.

9:44am phillip in hiding:

can we agree? Mormons Mennonites and the Amish? do we really need them?

9:45am Listener Robert:

Gatling gun: www.youtube.com...

♥ 9:45am groucho:

Nathan Barley! also see Newswipe, Weeklywipe, Gameswipe and Brooker's yearly 'wipe' shows that go out at new year. Charlie Brooker's one of my favourite people ever. His books (collections of his Gaurdian columns, are brilliant

♥ 9:45am Rob W:

Thanks Ken, we'll have to check out the Charlie Brooker comedy series! Just this week we've been watching season 3 of his, you know, other show...

♥ 9:46am dale:

ken - in honor of trump and romney burying the hatchet do you have a frogs legs gif?

9:46am bobdoesthings:

is that blue dance gif suppose to be Kate Bush? I think that's one of her moves.

9:46am Cecile:

Can you play Fireball by Harrie Bradshaw? It's a parody song by a Mpls bearded drag queen of Cherry Bomb. It's stupid and entertaining.

9:47am Nardo:

Yes, Nathan Barley is very good. Love Chris Morris. And hey, is Trump in the process of picking cast for an upcoming remake of Usual Suspects?

9:48am Cecile:

are these guys friends of the EX? this is pretty great stuff.

9:49am fʶfʶ (:

Funny you mention that, Ken! I watched an episode of Nathan Barley BECAUSE you kept on banging about Black Mirror by Charlie Brooker (which I must watch it some day in the future). Nathan Barley is indeed very good and ahead of its time. It predicted the London hipstersdom by 10 years ahead.

I guess everything that Ken loves I love.

9:51am Undead83:

Great show ^^

♥ 9:51am Webhamster Henry:

Say it loud, I'm Dutch and Proud!

9:53am fʶfʶ (:

Thanks for playing the Cuban and Brazilian music set!

9:54am glenn:

9:54am Richard Brody:

Ethiopia Hagere is used to maximum effect in a new and little seen movie called Uncle Kent 2 -- worth checking out.

9:56am JakeGould:

Cherry Bomb!

9:56am Cecile:

the gif goes perfectly with this song.

Oh, for those people who heard me raving about my cat scan on Monday, it turned out semi OK. Nothing life threatening. Just annoying.

♥ 9:56am melinda:

I like the DJ Gif for Ethiopia Hagere.

9:57am Cecile:

Some cartilage is messed up around my thyroid gland. It makes me feel like I swallowed a green army guy.

♥ 9:57am melinda:

Good news, Cecile. Or at least better than bad news.

9:57am Cecile:

THANKS

♥ 9:58am MD:

Cherry Bomb Set!!! Go Ken Go!!!

9:59am Cecile:

he pukes glitter in the video.

I have a serious drag-queen crush on him.

9:59am JakeGould:

More Bratmobile!

♥ 9:59am Uncle Michael:

Glad to hear it's not serious, Cecile.

10:04am Cecile:

me too Uncle Michael. Typical of this year

♥ 10:04am AnAnonymousParty:

I think I was on this cruise. I don't remember it very well. It was a Carnival cruise and we drank a lot. A lot. And I'm pretty sure there was karaoke.

10:05am Cecile:

it would be typical of this year to have my neck ripped open and my arteries cleaned out.

♥ 10:05am Webhamster Henry:

Nice Ocarina Ken!

10:06am Cecile:

London Leatherboys by Accept?

♥ 10:06am MD:

Or if you only watched the Flintstones!!!

10:07am fʶfʶ (:

SAAAABRINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Boys everywhere will always remember her for her two precious qualities

Charm and charisma.

Check in youtube her live presentation she did for TVE. This show it's considered one of the most iconic moments in the the TV history of Spain. In this show you will see glimpses of her Charm and Charisma in all her glory.

♥ 10:07am MD:

And never the Honeymooners...!!!

♥ 10:11am AnAnonymousParty:

All we need now is shitty bagpipes.

10:11am Pascal Panelak:

Killing it on the flute hahahaha!!!

♥ 10:11am -Ken:

10:16am Cecile:

10:16am #4:

10:16am Pascal Panelak:

10:17am Brendan:

10:21am Maria D:

So blessed to have Muppet Christ Superstar to get us through these troubling times

10:22am Antonio:

This is brilliant

♥ 10:22am Bronwyn Bishop:

i like that FMU consistently lives up to the promises of that one magazine article that talked about us playing Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtracks in other languages.

10:22am Cecile:

got anything from Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack?

♥ 10:24am Webhamster Henry:

If WFMU branded noseflutes aren't in the next marathon swag bag, you're missing a great opportunity! Some listener can 3d print them!
www.thingiverse.com...

♥ 10:24am melinda:

@Maria: I agree. It always helps.

♥ 10:25am Webhamster Henry:

Just wait till Ken discovers international OST recordings of HAIR!

♥ 10:26am βrian:

And WFMU traffic cones, of course.

♥ 10:26am melinda:

Nice Deceptacon remix.

♥ 10:27am melinda:

@Henry: those would be good too! Hair and JCS are my favorite musicals.

♥ 10:36am -Ken:

I would love to get some foreign langguage versions of Hair. I had a Japanese version but I lost in the flood.

10:41am Cecile:

Loved Heaven 17

♥ 10:46am cosmic matrix:

ken, i think the answer was YES! that was brilliant

♥ 10:47am dale:

We didn't just hear "boys, boys boys", but "boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys" ...

♥ 10:51am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Rule 34 Years?

10:52am Chuck Norris:

Dingos eat their own babies when they see me heading their way.

♥ 10:54am Whosondephone:

Can we have the web only permanently fill the morning slot?

10:54am Dingos:

Chuck Norris eats his own babies when he sees us heading his way

♥ 10:56am Ike:

What's the over-under on how many elderly confused JM listeners will call in and bug Micah during his show on Friday morning?

10:56am Cliff in Prague:

Gotta keep taxiing that plane!!

'Welcome to "Mayhem in the A.M., with Dingo and The Baby"!'

10:58am Polyus:

Tim Hortons makes everything better!

♥ 11:03am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Please tell me that plane didn't crash. Please.

Please tell me they were all safely on the ground later that evening, eating poutine and yelling at Don Cherry or just getting free health care (and paying enormous hospital parking fees, because they CAN charge for that). Please—it doesn't have to be true, why should only bad people get the reässurance that comes from believing lies all the time?

11:04am steve:

Ike @10:56 - LOL

♥ 11:06am dale:

imagine if leonard had a chance to do an album with bob dylan of holiday duets.

♥ 11:08am Webhamster Henry:

They could have shared a Nobel Prize!

♥ 11:10am MD:

BLESSED ARE THE CHEESE MAKERS!!!

♥ 11:11am (Murakami Whywolf))):

'[…] I felt that the "fact-fiction" format was the best framework for telling the story.'

11:14am Polyus:

That Walker tune, wow. Beautiful.

11:19am Cecile:

KILLDOZER

♥ 11:19am MD:

Tree Lighting tonite with NEAL!!!!

♥ 11:19am doctorjazz:

Thought I heard this I Am I Said cover on FMU somewhere recently, but can't remember where. Not a problem, though, loving it!

11:19am Polyus:

Out of thumbs after that Troggs cover.

11:20am Cliff in Prague:

Yeah, Killdozer!

11:20am Listener Robert:

Whosondephone, that's the obvious sol'n (although a hardship for some DJs to make their stream-only programs air-friendly), but it's been explained here why it's unacceptable: They need a program which will bring in the pledges while staying within Auricle's parameters. Apparently Nachum wants to do things in terms of sponsorship which would be acceptable under current treatment of non-commercial stations by FCC, but not by Auricle's charter. So it's going to be tough regardless. But I'm only passing along what I've read, and maybe you can get more definitive word.

11:20am Mark S:

not even the chair

♥ 11:20am AnAnonymousParty:

Somewhere, Neil Diamond is thinking: "Man, I really need to quit drinking".

♥ 11:22am Lizardner Dave:

Ken will you be archiving your morning drive show? I especially don't want to miss "Speak up, speak up, speak up, good-bye!"

♥ 11:22am crateslinger:

how is this not Lou Reed?

11:23am still b/p:

I saw a minute of Neil Diamond on the TV last night, singing some Christmas biz. I think Killdozer sounds jollier.

♥ 11:23am Webhamster Henry:

Thanks @f™f™! My family used to have the Hebrew one, that I bet is on one of my brothers' shelves.

11:27am JakeGould:

Dirt!

♥ 11:27am -Ken:

Neil Diamond will be singing "Knuckles the Dog" at Rockefeller Center tonight. Do NOT miss it!

11:29am JakeGould:

Can we have endless screaming and crying each morning from 6:00am to 9:00am?

♥ 11:29am AnAnonymousParty:

Is this more shitty flute? I can't hear the flute.

♥ 11:30am Whosondephone:

I appreciate the response Ken!

11:30am runny runt:

I LOVE WFMU

11:30am Okasa:

Don't ruin this for us, Ken!!

11:31am Cliff in Prague:

Can we have 3 hours of Neil Diamond every morning?

11:31am JakeGould:

What is this Neil Diamond time?

11:31am james8:

you are freaking out my cat

11:31am Okasa:

Is nothing sacred?

♥ 11:32am Rich in Washington:

Funny - was just reading this news story: Woman Calls Cops After Man Won’t Stop Whistling Semisonic’s ‘Closing Time’ time.com...

♥ 11:32am dale:

neil's cover of 'when the swelling goes down' is sublime.

♥ 11:34am quinn:

11:34am Cliff in Prague:

james8, play this for your cat: wfmu.org...

♥ 11:46am Whosondephone:

Get out Ken! Don't tease us! I don't want to turn on my TV if I don't have to.

♥ 11:46am Rich in Washington:

That Gringo song is from Gunfight at Red Sands, not The Good The Bad, and The Ugly

♥ 11:46am Webhamster Henry:

Voice on A Gringo Like Me: Peter Tevis:

♥ 11:47am Rich in Washington:

The singer was Peter Tevis.

♥ 11:47am Brian C.:

Ba-GO-duh. Like Vigoda.

♥ 11:47am Rich in Washington:

Jinx, Webmaster Henry. I owe you a coke. Or some coke. I can't remember the idiom.

♥ 11:48am Michael 98145:

the FMU accu-mind strikes again!

11:49am Cliff in Prague:

Yes, more air traffic controllers please in future shows

11:49am Polyus:

I have a thing for watching cockpit footage of takeoffs and landings on YT.

11:53am steve:

if you're out of SSD ideas in the next few weeks, how about have people call up with morning show ideas? most will be terrible and unworkable, so it'll be good radio.

11:53am JakeGould:

Stop staring at cock pits.

11:55am Cliff in Prague:

In Japan they're under the impression that "cockpit" is English slang for a vagina. youtu.be...

♥ 11:56am Webhamster Henry:

@Rich in Washington: I'm fast on the googlefinger!

♥ 11:57am Rich in Washington:

I love this air traffic noise. It's great!

11:57am Cliff in Prague:

Thank you Ken!

11:58am Listening Out There:

Thanks!

11:58am Polyus:

What's your vector, Victor?

11:58am Jess:

Why do I enjoy this?

11:58am still b/p:

What's the reading on the alt-right-imeter?

11:58am JakeGould:

In Japan the penis is called a vagina cork.

♥ 11:58am crateslinger:
