Hello North Korea, and Sweden!
9:07am

"Kim Jog Il Sleestak Diptych" would be a good name for a band. Okay, maybe not.
9:10am

I've been in bed with a flu the last two days and I didn't know how I would make it through the show today but being here with you all gives me hope that I will make it.

gumby:
Nice art Ken!
Ken could you play a couple of hours of J. Geils "Detroit Breakdown" in honor of the "Motor City Shakedown, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" that we are going to have to shell out to keep yet more US based mega-businesses unproductive and non-competitive. I feel it would be appropriate.
9:13am
Bad Ronald:
You're in good hands Ken.
...I am still in awe of the velvet masterpiece...
9:14am
Ken:
Gotta give big ups to my velvet pusher man Bill, who came up with the idea to frame these two paintings together.

9:46am
Ken:
It's true, I've been sick way too much lately. I think I have WFMU Program Director disease.
9:46am
GP:
Bad Ronald..checked out your videos on YouTube last night...pretty good stuff. Did you record that on an open mic or were you using the built-in mic on the video cam? All of that thrashing sound was too much for it to handle!
9:48am
cosmic:
annie, ive been up for 5 hours, had coffee and talk about spirits with an irish red head for most of that. i have no idea how the rest of today will curve but it had better be more a milkshake than a gin! if you get me
hang in there, ken
9:49am

9:51am
annie:
cosmic i dig
9:51am
bbell:
up til midnight looking for a fill-in?! . . . and yet, you still sit at the controls to keep your people happy! When you're done at 12, immediately get yourself some chicken soup and then go under the covers until Thanksgiving.
9:53am
cosmic:
im watching bad ronald the movie clips on youtube to this song and it really fits.
annie, sur thing
9:53am
GP:

Annie...OK, you have officially passed the geek test of which I instituted! I actually email the names, etc. of the songs i like back to my home email so that I also can searc hthe Intertubes after hours for videos, mp3's, etc...also hitting about 30-40%...great minds think alike.
9:54am
Bad Ronald:
THanks for the kind words GP. It was recorded using the mic on a Canon powershot. No great shakes

Ken - I like the Banksy piece. Do you know what the occasion was for the Ford pic?
9:56am
annie:
whatta riot gp, i sit here madly writing and spelling correctly.... when i'm done i cross off and go to the next. little symbols whether i find them or not, forget the search, try another name.. whoah, i get way too serious... but it's fun
9:57am
Parq:
Ken, isn't being over 50 a gas?
9:58am
wha?:
Cosmic, I'm scrolling through the comments putting yours together:
You're in an "educational facilitiy"
You're pricing a job randomly (so you're not a teacher)
You've been up half the night with an Irish redhead talking booze (or was it ghosts?)
You're in front of a computer (so you're not in the trades)
So what? I'm going to guess NYC administrator moonlighting as a defense subcontractor.
Am I close?

Mornin' y'all. All y'all, in fact.
Re the black velvet, I've always had my eye out for a black velvet painting of The Last Supper, with Elvis at the head of the table.
10:04am
Vivian:
Good Morning Ken:
Will the WFMU art auction include velvet paintings?
10:04am
listener jeremy:
risking looking like someone who hasn't been listening for the whole hour and may have missed some announcement, has anyone noticed that the stream volume is low? windows volume is 100%, winamp 100% and speakers are at 30%, which would normally be really loud. winamp equalizer has lower than normal equalizer levels for the incoming audio...
10:06am
wha?:
@AnAnonymous: Pretty sure I've seen this exact scene (Elvis last supper) up on the wall at a Chuy's in Houston.
10:06am
Ken:
I aint 50 yet! No velvet paintings in the art auction - go figure! Although I do have a spare Phil Spector,I will ask Doron if we can add it. But my guess is he wont. THat Ford / Preston / Harrison pic is from the White House, 1975.
10:07am
cosmic?:
haha, wha? its the coffee. im letting too much info out. i think i said enough already, they dont like me talking too much.
