6:44am F÷F÷ (:

Good morning, Ken, geo, Sean!

Nice new avatar, Ken! You look like a brand new man! That 260K body lift you went through recently was totally worth it, wasn't it?

6:49am cory:

mornin all

♥ 6:50am geoff mcq:

hello everyone. very excited to see all the fish gifs.

8:00am Listener Robert:

No bull! Take flight into the mushrooming field of baggage handling. If you take a bath in that, say harlow to fishing. If that's too much of a mouthful, you're shore to emerge from the fog jumping for joy if you just take things by the hand.

♥ 8:04am Aaron "Banana Bread" Minneapolis:

In a stunning turn of events, I am here and awake. Robert I did get your email, I just never got around to replying, perhaps this weekend, we will see. Ken, since I won SSD last week, how can I win this show this week, or if I am feeling really bold, how cam I win the State of the Station tonight?

♥ 8:08am Aaron "Banana Bread" Minneapolis:

Gloat much? Yes, yes I do

8:11am F÷F÷ (:

Masterfully played, Listener Robert (aka The GIF Bard)

♥ 8:24am AnAnonymousParty:

Fish, to his buddies, "hold my beer and watch this" ... "Take that, Bill Dance!" "Ow!"

♥ 8:27am -Ken:

Any requests? Hurry Hurry! Hazmat coming up on wake and bake.. Aaron, you win State of the Station by asking the best question or making the bestest comment. Winner gets an old WFMU transmitter fan.

♥ 8:29am Ike:

#feldersucks

♥ 8:45am -Ken:

Really? Not a single request..

8:57am Okasa:

Hello Ken et al.

♥ 8:58am Ken From Hyde Park:

Requesting Rammstein, please.

8:59am Okasa:

Speaking of Jean Harlow, if you don't know the story about her 2nd husband, Paul Bern, it's a good one.

9:01am Brendan in Carroll Gardens:

♥ 9:01am tom from Glasgow:

9:05am robotrattle:

9:07am I AM BLACK N PROUD:

Requesting Celia Cruz - Azucar

♥ 9:07am fred:

Boiler story: I had to take a day off for a "tech" guy to come over for boiler maintenance after I reported a leak. Guy comes in, barely takes a lot and says "that thing is too old, I don't even have parts for it". And just leaves. I wasted a vacation day, the boiler is still leaking, and I'll have to waste more time, eventually/hopefully. Boring, I know, but it involved a boiler, so I thought I would be relevant on this show

♥ 9:08am TDK60:

John Cale a unique musician. His Wikip. page said he learned Welsh before English.

♥ 9:08am Andrew Waterloo:

wow, I am here for Ken's show.

9:08am Linda Lee:

time for a second opinion, fred.

♥ 9:09am TDK60:

Ken H.P. Maybe it's just that we're different, even among the very different WFMU glisteners!

9:11am I AM BLACK N PROUD:

Actually this sing is better imho: Celia Cruz -Burundanga. https://youtu.be/q6UvPDtmvW0.

♥ 9:11am Krys O.:

Nice proggishness!

♥ 9:11am TDK60:

Krys O. you're green too.

♥ 9:14am Ken From Hyde Park:

@fred - When you're calling other boiler fixers, be sure to tell them the model you have so you don't waste time again.

9:14am JakeGould:

That overboard GIF is great!

9:15am JakeGould:

HOVERBOARD!

♥ 9:15am TDK60:

DJ Ken, don't look at the comments from Garbage Time yesterday.

9:15am orpheusviking:

I would like to request Voivod in celebration for the completion of recording their new album. Also, I would like to second fofo's request.

♥ 9:16am Andrew Waterloo:

It's also the 31st anniversary of Killing Technology this week.

9:17am orpheusviking:

ooooohhh good point andrew

9:17am Plumber Joe E.:

Hello! From banned land!

9:17am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Fred-it is not too hard to replace a water heater (if that is what a boiler is. If its a furnace, not so much!). Shark bite connectors are your friends!

9:18am F÷F÷ (:

YET ANOTHER BOILER STORY:

The staff at my gym haven't fixed the swimming pool boiler. It has been too warm for more than a week already. "It is not only dangerous for our health but also, it must cost them a fortune. Why they haven't fixed it yet?", a swimmer asked. "I don't know", replied another.

THE END

♥ 9:18am Andrew Waterloo:

I picked up my reissues of Roar, Dimension Hatros, and Killing Technology a couple weeks ago

9:19am Plumber Joe E.:

Hello from banned land

♥ 9:19am Rob (Jerzcity):

ugh

♥ 9:19am fred:

@Ken: I'm a mere tenant, so I don't get a choice. I'll have to call the landlord and wait and wait. I expected something like this. But having a boiler issue on a Wednesday... I had to share on this playlist

9:20am Wild Neil||Peace All:

The landlord should have called a plumber on an emergency basis on your schedule. Like at 6pm or so.

♥ 9:20am AnAnonymousParty:

Don't put sharkbite connectors where you can't easily get to them again, they will eventually leak.

♥ 9:20am crateslinger:

fred, sounds like it's your landlord's fault you missed a day of work. You should ask for a new stove.

9:21am Plumber Joe E.:

I’M BACK! Thanks, Ken. Looks as though I’m back in the nick of time, no less, what-with all of the boilers stories!

9:25am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@AAN-yes NEVER inside a wall for instance! They supposedly can last 10 or 15 years, so out in the open is best practice. Inside walls, always solder pipe connections.

♥ 9:25am fred:

Guys, I live in a rent-controlled area. The landlord is basically the government. I'm not allowed to do anything about it or I'd get kicked out. The rent is lower than anything I could get for even half the space though, and I get to live in a mixed area with Muslim neighbors.

♥ 9:25am pocket vito:

How does one access the boiler-free internet?

9:27am Plumber Joe E.:

Sharkbites make for a good quick-fix but should only really been used when you’re in a jam or something. A sure sign of a homeowner or fly-by-night handyman fix is a slew of pipes sharkbitten together.

♥ 9:27am MD:

Goooood Morning all!!!

9:28am F÷F÷ (:

pocket vito,

This is the link to enter the boiler-free internet world:

Cool, thanks F÷F÷!

Hey, wait a second....

9:29am SeanG:

9:29am orpheusviking:

boiler? damn near killed 'er! and other hot water stories.. available now in your local interweb bookstore

♥ 9:30am pocket vito:

Now that there's some goat-corrallin' music!

♥ 9:31am Brian C.:

Jah help us if Yackety Sax becomes Ken's answer to that Don F*lder "song" little Matty Warwick plays

♥ 9:31am MD:

HOT SAX BABY!!!

♥ 9:31am MD:

SAX US UP!!!

♥ 9:32am MD:

MR ZOGGS SAX WAX!!!

♥ 9:32am MD:

ok...i'll stop!

9:32am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Plumber Joe E-I had a licenced master plumber with 20 years experience install a laundry sink in my basement with Pex and I think Sharbites. Was he a shitty plumber? The Pex is all exposed and out in the open.

♥ 9:32am Roberto:

Spewn!

9:33am hi from Jersey city:

This show is great!

♥ 9:33am fred:

@Brian C.: At least Matt Warwick doesn't have an Eagles tatoo

9:34am Morphe:

Simon did not go to school today(fever/bellyache)..so listening live ...Just heard you/Ken screaming "STUDID>>>" repeatedly... I said, "Ken is going crazy today." Simon said, "KEN IS ALWAYS CRAZY!!!" Out of the mouth of 6.8 year olds comes WISDOM!!! Thanks Ken and all!!!

♥ 9:34am AnAnonymousParty:

The only thing sealing that connection is an O-ring. Will it stand up to all the halogenated chemicals in most city water over time?

♥ 9:35am pocket vito:

He's got a piece of hot sugar cookie for you

9:35am The Space shuttle:

Ask me about O-rings.

♥ 9:38am geo in jc:

@The Space shuttle, How's retirement?!

♥ 9:39am -Ken:

Simon, what can I play for you??

9:39am LexRay:

I Loved this Show!!!!!

♥ 9:39am northguineahills:

@fred: Never knew NYC tennant rights rules were more stringent then France's. (A leak, a landlord will have someone there pronto). Now there was the time in November when our boiler broke in late November, but didn't leak, so, I went over a week w/o heat or hot water.

9:40am karmester:

love Babylon Berlin

♥ 9:41am bk845:

Hey, was that recent background music from Rockabye Baby, or one of the knockoff bands?

♥ 9:41am -Ken:

Oh man, so much great boiler chat goin down here today and me with a show to do.. i could tell you some stories, boy

♥ 9:42am -Ken:

@bk that was Rockabye Baby

♥ 9:42am TDK60:

Our building was without cooking gas for 6 months recently. The joys of a hotplate.

♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

A few years ago, my 30-gallon electric hot water heater konked out. Ordered a 40-gallon replacement. At delivery time, they said they didn't have any 40s in stock, so I got a 50-gallon installed for the 40's price.

♥ 9:43am northguineahills:

Babylon Berlin is an amazing series.

♥ 9:45am -Ken:

Yes Babylon Berlin is amazing in every respect except for the plot. But I loved it anyway

♥ 9:45am fred:

@NGH: I live in an immigrant neighborhood, so there are no rules or laws. I want to stay there, it keeps me in touch with reality, and it's cheap, so I can give to the station

♥ 9:45am Ken From Hyde Park:

I think we all know the state of the station. "Need money blah blah blah." Can we have an hour of boiler stories at 6PM tonight instead?

9:46am The Space shuttle:

@geo: Retirement is sweet, I play a lot of golf and hang out with the grandkids. Nice not having to worry about burning up in re-entry anymore. I do miss the view sometimes and making random banging noises on orbit to prank my coworkers.

9:48am Plumber Joe E.:

@Wild Neil - I wouldn’t necessarily call him a shitty plumber. There’s a time and a place for everything. sharkbites make for a good way to transition from copper to pex. If he used sharkbites for EVERYTHING, than it probably just ended up costing you more money - sharkbites aren’t cheap. As far as reliability is concerned, they’ll hold up for a while. I wouldn’t worry...

9:48am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I recently changed my 40 gallon water heater. It took me from 6 am to 4:30 pm with all the trips to Home Depot and Ace Hardware and stuff. I think I went 5 or 6 times! Thats over 2 hours spent just driving there and back! 6 trips x 10 minutes each way x 2 ways + 2 hours!

♥ 9:48am TDK60:

That burning building with dancing children photo is truly creepy. Where/when?

♥ 9:48am crateslinger:

I saw a boiler repair guy punch out another boiler repair guy in front of their boiler repair shop. They we both covered with filth. That is a dirty job. The old ones you have to climb inside and chop away layers of black death with an axe I think.

♥ 9:48am -Ken:

@TDK60 - Berlin, 1943

♥ 9:49am tadpole:

Morning all, dragging ass into work in time for 80% of Dancing Ken's show. A good day all in all.

♥ 9:49am -Ken:

@crateslinger, one of those guys was ME! Aint saying which one.

♥ 9:50am Brian C.:

Years ago, when my boiler conked out, I mentioned it to a guy on my softball team. He said, "check your homeowners ins. policy. If you have paragraph 7 [or some such clause], it's covered. In most policies you won't find it though." I looked, it was there, ins. covered it, and I saved $7000! I had no idea. Thank you Larry, wherever you are

♥ 9:50am TDK60:

Oh.

♥ 9:50am crateslinger:

Ken, with those lats! I know which one you were...

♥ 9:51am -Ken:

Legal ID coming up! 201-209-9368: This is WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, in New York City and Rockland County at 91.9 FM and online at wfmu dot org. Keep in mind WMFU has an M before the F but dont announce this part right her. The legal ID ended many words ago. If I have read this far, it is time to turn back. TURN BACK. (SCREAM) TURN BACK NOW!!! OH GOD ITS TOOO LATE!! TOOOOOO LAAAAAATTTTTTEEEE (Scream to fade)

♥ 9:52am AnAnonymousParty:

@WN (Pssst, you probably shouldn't tell that story to a plumber)

♥ 9:52am tadpole:

Ken has deftly co-opted the dancing ken gif as his own, before it could become "a thing". You are a PR genius, Ken.

♥ 9:52am tadpoles:

Thanks for the Roger Ruskin Spear Ken. Excellent. I see we have a singular Tadpole. Greetings.

Over the years too many boiler stories..keep you on your toes especially in Winter when they conk out!

♥ 9:53am tadpole:

@tadpoles my family!

♥ 9:55am -Ken:

@tadpole Damn straight. Coopt the enemy before the enemy coopts YOU

♥ 9:56am tadpoles:

Plays together...stays together! Thinking of Family Ken can I request any of their tracks....if poss.

♥ 9:56am pocket vito:

Or as chickens say, Coopt the coop!

♥ 9:56am BronwynB:

morning ken and everyone

9:57am F÷F÷ (:

Another boiler story:

My uncle once was checking why his boiler wasn't working. While he was having a look at it, it exploded in his face. He suffered third degree burns and vouched to take only cold showers for eternity.

♥ 9:59am pocket vito:

Never check your own boiler! Send an oompa loompa or something.

9:59am Morphe:

Simon says: "Kissing The Velvet Glove" Thanks - worry not if not ..we will always have 04/19/2017....

♥ 9:59am fred:

@Bronwyn: when is your next show?

10:01am mary:

Ann!
...thank you for existing- to quote Ken Freedman

♥ 10:01am melinda:

Good morning Ken and listeners! I overslept by almost 2 hours, very disorienting!

♥ 10:02am tadpole:

F÷F÷ (: lord that's horrible.

♥ 10:02am BronwynB:

@fred: when the gods will it

♥ 10:02am Ike:

@Tom@9:02, for earworms, my strategy has always been to mentally fold, spindle, and mutilate the song in my mind using the Terry Riley method. Do to the song what Riley did to Harvey Averne's "You're No Good." It works for me, anyway. Your mileage may vary.

♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park:

Yay, who's calling 201-209-9368?

♥ 10:02am MD:

NICE!!!!!!!

10:03am Doobois:

10:05am Sam:

thanks!

10:05am queems:

that was great

♥ 10:05am tadpole:

Ah Sam, the Paris Appraisuer.

10:06am Sam:

I think it was pretty out of tune, could have been better

10:06am Plumber Joe E.:

My boiler nearly killed me this winter. Another plumber had hotwired the boiler
By bypassing all the safeties. (I rent a house) the boiler should’ve turned itself off when the fumes stopped going up the chimney...but it continued to run, filling the house up with carbon monoxide. I was on my couch, falling asleep, thinking I was just hungover, when the CO alarms on the second floor started going off. fire department came and said their CO meters were pinned on the max reading.
A narrow escape!

10:06am F÷F÷ (:

Sam is a genius! His IQ is the highest! He is also the handsomest man on earth! So NO DOUBT he didn't like the Artificial Intelligence 7SD show, right? RIGHT?!!?!

10:07am Morphe:

East 8th Street Boiler story -1980 - We took over a building (HDFC not a squat). The boiler malfunctioned most mornings. Most people awake from the noise/clanking of the steam rising. I used to wake because there was no noise = not hot water before work... I had to go down and throw burning newspaper into the burner to light the oil (Grade #4)... Henry Gifford is the NYC boiler genius https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/03/17/the-boiler-man: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/03/17/the-boiler-man: www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/03/17/the-boiler-man

10:08am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I stayed at a house with a coal furnace. It sucked. I had to light it every morning and there was coal dust everywhere all over in the house. Yuk. It is cheap, though.

10:08am Sam:

Make sure tonight's show is good

10:10am queems:

i’m in the process of getting my work to shell out to you people

10:10am Plumber Joe E.:

@Sam does the 7SD insurance apply to the state of the station?

♥ 10:10am TDK60:

I'm one of those geezers who takes email very seriously. // $250k need...hmmm...no new Box of Pain materials for Clay?

♥ 10:10am βrian:

No Sam, it's a fill-in. One show filling in for another. If there aint no Seven Second Delay playlist and there aint no Andy, it aint no Seven Second Delay.

10:16am Sam:

Ok fine. I was hoping I could pressure you into doing a really really funny state of the station, but you don't have to.

♥ 10:18am melinda:

I like Umi No Ue Kara.

♥ 10:18am TDK60:

Ken, maybe some calming bed music tonight during the State of Woofmoo?

♥ 10:19am fred:

@Sam: The way the station fell short of the goal this marathon, I think it would take a lot to make it funny. Now if you have a few hundred thousands to spare, I'm sure it can happen

♥ 10:20am MD:

Mr Roy Moore...

♥ 10:22am tadpole:

Is this the "is that all there is" lady? Slow it down to 16 RPM Ken!

♥ 10:26am cklequ:

All the hits.

♥ 10:27am Walt:

My contribution to the new WFMU show "Boiler Talk": Long ago, I worked for a company that serviced boilers and air conditioner chillers. After several years of hard work the company won a long-term contract for a very large miltary base, worth millions of dollars per year and hundreds of thousands for the agent who was to supervise the work. The agent, a long time employee of the company, promptly starting having subcontractors do (relatively) penny-ante work on his house like building a deck, cleaning his pool, etc. and charging it to the contract. This went on for a couple of years until a military audit found out, cancelled the contract, the company never recovered and was sold and broken up about a year later. Don't know what happened to the idiot agent.

10:28am Linda Lee:

now let's see those buns!

THANK YOU ALL! I appreciate the kind words on my segue artistry.

@KFHP, usually when I want to insult an electronic device, I tell it that its mama was a toaster oven and its daddy was a busted Realistic clock radio, or a TRS-80. But now I'm going to go with boiler instead of toaster oven. Or maybe boiler instead of TRS-80.

I thought someone cooked up a plan last week to, like, drop an anvil on Andy and collect the insurance money or something.

10:44am it is Grateful Dead:

yes. at least spel it Wright.

♥ 10:45am tadpole:

For the fundraiser, of course.

lol sorry. so excitedly typing sometimes.

10:46am Linda Lee:

drop an anvil? :-D

@tadpole: so you're one of the people Andy put on his will

10:47am Joel St. Germain:

Classic.

One of the reasons the Girls' song is fantastically creepy AF is because Jeffrey was the singer's younger brother. He died when he was a little boy AND the cover album is a old, phantasmagoric picture of the boy.

I used to raid those movie-set food tables when I was a bike messenger in the 80's. Swoop in, bagels and candy bars in the bag, shove a cookie in the mouth, and be off before the guy could come around the thing.

Fake English accent?

11:12am Sam:

That accent was kind of half British and half German I guess

Haven't heard of Dunkaroo's in a while!

11:15am exile-on-hicks-st:

@LL - ‘FMU could use a daytime tv-esque

Aren't they kangaroo shaped cookies? I know they had commercials with a cartoon kangaroo.

11:16am kinkos does not exist anymore:

what happened to them?

♥ 11:17am BronwynB:

i've been listening to wesley wilis songs desperately hunting for one where he ends it with "rock over london, rock on chicago, [insert a certain famous french cosmetics company's famous slogan here]" so i can somehow program it to play every time i open my laptop at work

11:17am Mister Dobalina:

They got gobbled up by FedEx.

11:17am queems:

i’m not sure if i would purchase this album but i’d definitely download it illegally

♥ 11:17am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Much appreciated, Fred [11:11], but the life of a lowly root-vegetable clergyman suits me: Leaves more time for astral projection & backgammon...

11:17am Linda Lee:

Applebee's cut reminds me of Weird Paul's Chuck E Cheez tune!

11:18am Alex from Weehawken:

@berbo, I think inside-out oreos is the perfect description but the frosting comes on the side

11:18am Sam:

When you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go
To Duane Reade!
When you feel worried, all the noise and the hurry seem to help I know
At Duane Reade!

Ouch, there *are* too many rock bands.

11:20am exile-on-hicks-st:

@Rob that’s awesome. #hero

Spent the early morning hours cranking old Spike Jones & His City-Slickers rekkids. Convinced old Spike qualifies as pre-proto-punk. Or just epic cocaine consumers: the tempos are ridiculous.

I saw Eugene with Jimmy Carl Black in Madison, before Black passed away.

11:27am Daybreak the Teacher.:

Started strong then fell apart on my the jingles. At least it made a good Yo LT Transition.

11:27am F÷F÷ (:

Me too, The Oscar. Especially his approach to film production. All those Netflix complex multimillion dollar algorithms to produce a profitable movie? He has them all (in his head).

♥ 11:28am crateslinger:

@ TDK re:movie food: if you just walk up and start making a cup of coffee, they sometimes don't even say anything. So many people work on those things. Of course it helps if you can feign a sort of Courtney Barnett hang-dog insouciance. That way you seem important.

♥ 11:29am joe:

@berbo wow that had to be pretty freakin' cool right there.

♥ 11:30am crateslinger:

if anybody asks just say your with "art department". Those people never get out.

♥ 11:30am TDK60:

crateslinger: feign a sort of Courtney Barnett hang-dog insouciance: okay, will try next time...

♥ 11:31am The Oscar:

Like, he probably recorded those songs BECAUSE HE KNEW KEN WOULD PLAY THEM. Dude just got paid for that.

♥ 11:32am Rev. Turnip Druid:

On behalf of this particular art department, Crateslinger speaks truth.

11:33am exile-on-hicks-st:

@LL. - the trans/queer aspect only broadens the appeal - we tick all the boxes.

@joe ah nice!

11:34am Linda Lee:

i approve.

11:36am Mister Dobalina:

Nice screen shot of yesterday's debacle on Garbage Time. What a great time that was had. I was late to all of my appointments because of the last half hour of that show. GO KEN!
