9:03am annie:

9:04am Mr. Two-Arms:

9:04am Vicki:

9:05am John from Oslo:

Hajjo all

Yeah Annie, post it. It truly is incredible. One of the mnore bizarre videos I've ever seen.

9:06am Chris:

I haven't seen it yet...I'm still digesting the actual songs...and they ain't goin down easy - could ruin thanksgiving for me

9:06am Mr. Two-Arms:

9:11am Chris:

man that dylan vid just adds to the enigma. thanks for the link.

9:11am Janet H:

Good Morning!

9:11am Ghengis Jung:

This song is so great.

9:13am annie:

as they say : it's gone viral!!! it IS creepy. for sure.. and ken that PETA ad is great for sound clips, yes!

9:13am seang:

oh man, I love this shit!

9:14am C:

any theories about what's going on in the dylan video? is there a build up to the fight that you can only see if you're paying really close attention? i've watched it a couple of times trying to find hidden clues, but haven't had any luck so far.

9:14am Michael:

Good morning, Ken. Happy Thanksgiving to you. On that note, I'd like to say that I'm thankful for your stellar stewardship of WFMU!

9:15am Ike:

I thought I read that there was a new Dokaka disk -- anybody heard it?

9:15am Stuart Troutman:

Ugh. More Juana Molina, less Dokaka, please. That was among the worst ABB records, and this one's little better.

9:16am annie:

see, c, i thought the same thing.. no rhyme or reason to the fight..

9:17am Parq:

All snarking aside, the a cappella Allmans has made my morning.

9:17am Ghengis Jung:

Great photo series - what's the story?

9:18am Parq:

With apologies to Mr. Troutman, of course.

9:20am Stuart Troutman:

ok, Ken, sorry, guess I was mistaken.

9:20am TC:

Argentinian Mary Tyler Moore? Please to explain.

9:21am JCityJensen:

congrats again Ken!

9:21am Dan B from Upstate:

Good morning Ken and fellow listeners! Happy Thanksgiving! :-D

9:22am JCityJensen:

9:24am Jim:

Dokaka's cover of Tarkus a few years ago--I think it was on Cosmic Cowboy's show--is a favorite of mine.

9:25am Parq:

An entire page of Boho Rhap takes!

9:27am paul:

http://pitchfork.com/news/37193-john-darnielle-gets-sick-cancels-mountain-goats-shows/

9:29am Ken:

Paul - It's NEXT week that John Darnielle is doing Seven Sec Delay. Not tonight.

9:30am paul:

9:35am Janet H:

Are you doing 7sd from the airport tonight?

9:35am Ken:

THese four photos are by Achim Lippoth who likes to photograph children. I think the mayhem here is staged. That's all I know. Found 'em on a Russian photoblog.

9:36am Ken:

Tonight will be a re-run on SSD, and NEXT week is when I will be drunk and Andy will be in his underwear, at the UCB Theater!

9:37am anne:

9:46am mark in Kingston:

9:46am John from Oslo:

Thanks Ken, you revitalized my interest in Tom Waits

9:47am Adrian in London:

The thought of Andy Breckman in his underwear… can I have my marathon money back please?

9:48am Ken:

Dont get too carried away, us WFMU DJs like to pick out the standout tracks! This is a 2-CD set. Just sayin...

9:48am Janet H:

10:01am Gil Roitto:

10:01am Dan B from Upstate:

Ken, isn't your Scotcharoo recipe somewhere on your facebook page?

10:02am Ghengis Jung:

Is this from that new Miles Davis side scrolling video game?

10:03am Word Problem:

Power Up!!!

10:05am Seamus:

I've found the code for infinite lives!

10:07am Joe Steele:

I fail to see how Communism = Fire, but ok.

10:08am Cecile:

Communism = Godlessness = Hell = Fire. It takes a while.

Good morning!

10:09am Kat:

10:09am Vicki:

I hope this means Felix arrived!

10:10am annie:

10:11am Ken:

No, Felix is not here yet but he is on his way.

10:11am J. Edgar Hoover:

You can trust a Communist...TO BE A COMMUNIST!

10:13am Vicki:

oh good. I was just thinking he was playing a gig last night and prob went to bed about an hour ago :)

10:17am John from Oslo:

Thanks Ken, you revitalized my interest in communism

10:17am suit:

anyone go to the felix show at santos last night? gold cherries or what?

10:19am Megan:

I was listening in the car about an hour ago--heard a song I loved, sounded like Laughing Hyenas (grungy, howling, etc.). I heard a sample of the Melvins song, hard to figure out if that was it; which one might it have been?

10:23am Ken:

Megan, that was probably Matmos remixing the Melvins.

10:31am -max-:

LATE! Was waiting on an A train because of a passenger needing medical assistance. Did not see Yoko on the platform at 59th Street. Good morning everyone.

10:31am Cecile:

Ken, it's kind of fun. I've heard...

Make him wear a union suit.

10:32am Lizardner Dave:

"Flopping around in a pair of boxer shorts", thank you. I now need to drink a fifth of Jack Daniels to erase that mental image.

10:32am Cecile:

and annie, Dylans' christmas vid is teh awesome as the kids say.

10:33am Janet H:

Ken, what's your choice of drink?

10:35am Megan:

Went and found full-length--it was Dyse! Yay! Do you know if the rest of the stuff is equally snarly?

10:36am Ken:

Janet, Red wine or beer or scotch or tequila. But i will be sticking with tequila so i dont get sick.

10:37am Cecile:

tequila doesn't get me very drunk.
It's weird.

10:39am Ken:

Cecile, up the dose! Megan, that's the only track I know by them.

10:40am Cheri Pi:

I love this QP-Crazy song, it gives me shivers! Must get this collection...
