Ach, ze ist ze beautiful smooth and rinkle free botox beats in ze morning. Top of the morning to ya Ken!
9:10am
Stephanie Monseu:
a fine drizzly morning it is, in my corner of the world anyway.
I am curious as to whether my Secret Santa pal ever received his gift. Ever hear back from the bicycle guy about his rain-proof socks? (waaaay cooler than they sound)
9:11am
Ken:
The ear crystal diagnosis is out the window. The cuirrent theory is something called LPR Reflux. Quite a Cath-22 I'm in now, coffee makes it much much worse. Time to take up a good oxycontin habit..
9:14am
JJZ:
"The symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux can consist of a dry cough, chronic throat clearing and a sensation of something being stuck in the throat." I think the guy that sits in my area at work may have something like that, he's constantly making that phlegmy horky noise.
9:23am
Doug:
"Opera Babes?"
That sounds googleworthy.
9:25am
Vivian:
Sounds like multiple Wings
9:26am
ha ha:
Wing Sings For Yo Mama
I wish
9:26am
fighttheJCityWay:
Morning Ken - can you take a request? need some Flipper this am with the HA HA HA HO HO HO HE HE HE song - this song actually cures LPR Reflux and makes us smile like its a snow day (even if it's 88 degress outside in January)
drink decaf green tea with sugar - gets you over you caffeinated needs
9:26am
Parq:
Oh, thank the Lord, for a moment, I thought you were playing a straight version of "Fortuna". I used to love that piece, but the movie trailers have totally killed it for me. Ken, you sound like you're striking out in a new direction today. Not until Wing did I detect the classic Freedman touch.
9:26am
Doug:
OK, I disapprove of Opera Babes but strongly approve of Wing.

Dickdong (UK):
This is the sort of stuff dogs like to sing along to.
9:29am
Negator:
Ahhh, WIng! Praise Jeebus. Glory be to Jeebus! I'm flying.......floating......swirling down....
9:30am
Negator:
WIng is the wind of Jeebus
9:31am
Parq:
Dick, for the record, my two dogs are completely unruffled.
9:31am
Doug:
Can we someday hear the whole timestretched tAtU song please?
9:39am
Ken:
Doug - You can download the streched version of tATu's How Soon is Now off the WFMU Blog: blog.wfmu.org and do a search for tatu or how soon is now.
9:41am
Doug:
Sweet!
9:50am
Negator:
Hit us with more of that train whistle, Ken. Workin with wierd disco.
9:55am
Gregory:
Ken, I know you're disappointed by Giuliani's results, but keep in mind, as he said in his speech last night, "We were always upbeat" AND "We ran a campaign of ideas" (or, as I think he meant to say, "idea"). We can all take solace in that.
9:55am
Randy in NC:
Maybe September has ended?
9:57am
Listener Dave from NH:
"9" and "11" are two discrete numbers, so unless you're saying all integers (prime or otherwise) are a single idea, he really did run a campaign of ideas.
10:03am
jonathan:
hell yes! goebbel reeves!
10:05am
Ken:
Wow, that Goebbel Reeves track revealks where Curly Joe from The Three Stooges came up with his shtick!
10:05am
Negator:
I think I know the girl goebbel reeves was talking about.
10:06am
Steve:
MORE YODELING PLEASE !!!!
10:07am
Parq:
Fave quote of his campaign, from early Jan after getting creamed in Iowa (Get it? Iowa, corn, "creamed" -- I fracture myself), veering into outright self parody: "None of this worries me; September 11, there were times when I was worried."
10:07am
?:
What about Alec Templeton? Never heard him on WFMU. Are you familiar with him Ken?
10:07am
Ken:
Just keep it in your pants Negator. That's all I ask.
10:08am
helpful:
If you like the Goebbel you should definitely checkout the "American Yodeling" CD on Trikont. Check fmu archives, bound to be some.

10:14am
Ken:
Put a lid on it, "Cheri." You're guilty of crimes against punctuation.
10:15am
Negator:
Yeah, I'll keep it in pants...Hot Pants...Just like James Brown said! Was he talking to me?

10:30am
Doug:
The whistle go "WOO WOO!"
It's just for decoration.
10:30am
Listener Dave from NH:
That proves it - train whistle is the new cowbell.
10:30am
nh_dave:
The running with the devil vocal mix makes me realize that dave was a great mixture of horrible and beautiful (at least vocally). Love it!
10:30am
John from Oslo:
You whistleblower you
10:34am
Ken:
So who sent me the train whistle?! All hail to you, whoever you are!
10:38am

10:39am
John from Oslo:

10:40am
Ken:
No, I cant stomach Dubya at all no mo.. turned on the State of the Union and couldn't take it for more than five seconds. Mitt Romney, now THAT'S comedy! Who Let The Dogs Out?!
10:41am
richard:

10:42am

more jules bashing please, i can't get enough! Although I lovethe idea of a walking add for birth control running for president from the GOP, it''s as close as those pigs get to poetic!
11:02am
giselle:
I love that Rapped youth song.. who is Zatumba? What is going on? I must have missed the introduction of Zatumba.
11:05am
-max-:
Zatumba rules!
11:07am
Negator:
Great video for the OOIO song "UMO". Check YouTube..
11:08am
Doug:
Zatumba seems to be some sort of deity that watches over Ken's show.
11:09am
Ken:
That's an excellent question, Giselle. Nobody knows who Zatumba is. But I have five tracks by him, making Saranic noises and drumming on a table. I think he may really be Fabio, but I have no definitive proof yet. But the two of them have never been seen together in the same room.
11:09am
Dickdong (UK):
Bongo Joe! Thanks Ken.
11:10am
giselle:
re: Zatumba ..is he like some African tribal god?
11:11am
Doug:
That's my impression anyway. Sort of like Jon Frum maybe.
11:11am
me zatumba:
Zatumba is a WFMU DJ
11:13am
Doug:
So if we can figure out which FMU DJ is ALSO an African tribal god we'll know the answer!
11:15am
me zatumba:
a google search will reveal all - don't forget the " " though or you'll get an African tribal god.
11:17am
Ghengis J.:
is "Zatumba"more or less famous than "Andy Breckman"?
11:17am
Ken:
I'm afraid you're being misled by an ersatz Zatumba.
11:17am
Negator:
Was that Thurl Ravenscroft? Thurl must have has big testicles. You know? Sort of implied...
11:17am
giselle:
Zatumba: Are These The Sounds Of Possession? ($4) Deep within the darkest ... Listen to the drum driven sounds of Zatumba as he chants, wails, and screams. ...
11:19am
jaspar:
is that bottle song on the download page? i need that song!
11:19am
Ken:
That's it, Giselle. Worth every penny.
11:19am
me zatumba:
Ersatz Zatumba is actually Zatumba's aunt.
11:20am
Ken:
Yes, Thurl Ravenscroft is on the FMU blog: blog.wfmu.org
11:23am
jaspar:
thanks for a great show
11:25am
