9:09am Parq:

What Michael said.

9:11am Dave B:

Morning, and congrats to WFMU, and thanks to everyone for doing it again.

9:11am Ralphine:

This Postal Service remix reminds me a little bit of MC Honky.

♥ 9:12am common:

kinda sounds like the blue nile. strange.

♥ 9:13am Lizardner Dave:

I used to get really excited when my favored sports teams won championships. Now I get that buzz when WFMU hits the marathon goal.

9:14am Ahmad:

This has been the definitive version of this song for me for the last few years.

9:19am pierre:

Félicitations WFMU, Ken, and all the DJs,
this 2014 Marathon is a success

♥ 9:19am Skirkie:

Ya done good, kid.

9:20am Okasa:

Good morning Ken and the Ken crew. Another year of this.

9:22am bibi:

hello ken and all.
amazing the notwist singer is easily distinguishable.

9:26am KOTJ:

bibi I was goin gto say the same about the Bog Blood singer.

♥ 9:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

Congrats on a successful marathon. Now to dispense $100,000 a month. Almost $3,300 a day. About $135 an hour.

9:31am Alessia:

it's the one that sounds like he would rather do anything else than sing.

♥ 9:32am Ken:

Thank you everybody! Sorry to be so late here on the comments... just failed an inspection on the ground floor and was dealing with that.

♥ 9:32am Ken:

Didnt fail really but nobody was down there to let them in goshDANGIT

9:33am pierre:

I feel like the CW is a channel where you often see people crying like that…

9:35am KOTJ:

"failed" as in not enough hundreds in the handshake?

9:39am thedunkel:

call fulop!

9:39am bibi:

am i the only one getting sick staring at the infinity pizza gif ?

♥ 9:41am tim from champaign:

Congratulations on the marathon, Ken!

Remember what Fabio said: "Strength Through Failure".

♥ 9:42am rsj:

failure to enter

9:44am Sam:

TGIW!!

♥ 9:44am Ken:

Bibi - It sounds like you have not become one with the pizzaverse. Keep staring.

9:45am Dave B:

perpetualroni

9:46am glenn:

building inspectors. douchebags, every single one of them.

9:46am trish:

@bibi - aw, I think it's a great illustration "zoom out! zoom out!'

9:46am bibi:

hold on, my nails transform to black olives right now.

9:46am Sam:

I'm with ya Bibi, I can't look at it without feeling nauseous.

♥ 9:47am Guido (Cologne):

I had exactly the same pizza yesterday !!!
If I knew my digesting system is that far developed ... OMG ...

♥ 9:48am rsj:

i am 100% down with the theory of the pizza universe

♥ 9:48am Ken:

Dont get me started Glenn. For the last month, everytime I start feeling OK, something like this happens that fills me with murderous rage all over again. I think I better go back to Anger Management Sleepaway Camp and make some FUCKING LANYARDS.

9:50am Sam:

Do you sing "Mama said there'd be days like this" while you make the lanyards?

9:51am jan:

This Ivy song is so beautiful! This year's marathon was the first I've not actively listened to in 30+ years. But I was glad to hear that all of us listeners came through for another year.

♥ 9:51am Station Mgr Ken:

Sam, No. I hum "Institutionalized."

9:52am Foolbert:

"The Simpsons": It sounds like my childhood exposure to pop culture first as "Mad" magazine parodies. (E. g. : "West Coast Story"---Reaganites and student radicals as rival gangs.)

(And who can forget the aggressive anti-humour of Dave Berg's "The Lighter Side of Home Permanents", which ran in very issue from 1961 until some nameless humanitarian garrotted him? )

(Does their tablet version have a fold-in? Easy enough to do....)

9:52am bobdoesthings:

morning all.

♥ 9:52am Marcel M:

Morning Bob

♥ 9:53am tim from champaign:

Ken, try the AA serenity prayer but substitute Sun Ra for god. And maybe substitute anger for serenity.

9:53am Ralphine:

SERENITY NOW!!!

♥ 9:54am Andrew Waterloo:

I know heard about the transmitter problems and my first thought was that Ken must be feeling spectacular stress right now.

9:54am bobdoesthings:

yo marcel.

♥ 9:56am Marcel M:

HOOOCHIE MOMMAAA!!!!!

9:56am glenn:

i've dealt with hundreds of them. power tripping failed carpenters / contractors, to a man.

9:57am f©f© (:

hi ken & fellow winged monkeys and fancy boys!

♥ 9:57am SeanG:

sounding good

9:58am w41:

I can bark to myself this way

9:59am jan:

In contrast to Ivy, that song by Helen Forsdale was so grating- glad you took it off, but the barking dogs are also hard to bear.

10:00am Cory:

james may is so frickin' awesome

10:01am Sam:

The signal at 91.1 seems to be a lot better now.

♥ 10:01am Ken:

Oh Jan.. you always only like the pretty songs.

10:01am bobdoesthings:

and the internet still works.

♥ 10:02am tim from champaign:

Alright! Knuckles the Dog is a real American hero.

10:02am Sam:

Jesus: Man's best friend.

10:03am trish:

tech sorta note to Ken :There's no song title coming through on the player.

♥ 10:03am Greg from Bloomfield:

Congrats on a successful marathon, Ken! And more congrats on inventing the "Fat Suit Stage Dive."

♥ 10:04am Webhamster Henry:

Everything reminds me of my dog.

10:04am Cheri Pi:

KNUCKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:04am Cheri Pi:

TUned in in the NICK OF TIME!!!

10:04am Roberto:

No such thing as too much Knuckles.

♥ 10:04am common:

knuckles. sniff.

♥ 10:05am tim from champaign:

They should put Knuckles The Dog on those goddamn moralistic hoooey "Pass It On" billboards.

10:05am Cheri Pi:

pass me the tissues..... WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

10:05am Cheri Pi:

o(╥﹏╥)o

10:08am Roberto:

Those chinchillas look suspiciously like capybaras.

10:08am nellie:

best two songs in a row!

10:08am Sam:

One of those guys from JM in the AM is on the hook for a lot more money if the Yankees do better than the Mets this season.

10:08am Roberto:

Andy and Ken the Radio Hosts who Help People

♥ 10:09am Marcel M:

Do women in big cities want relationships?

♥ 10:09am Marcel M:

Seems like it goes both ways.

♥ 10:10am Ken:

Capybaras! I knew they werent chinchillas. Thanks Roberto!

10:11am glenn:

jeeeez, the yankees double a team is better than the mets.

10:11am Mark S:

"if" the Yankees do better than the Mets?

10:11am Yanuk:

Can we get a play of Pussy Riot's new song "Putin will teach you how to love"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjI0KYl9gWs

10:11am Sam:

What's the difference between chinchillas and chimichangas?

10:11am Cheri Pi:

My friend posted this video of all ages Capybaras enjoying the Japanese Hot Springs. Warning-Weapons Grade Cute en.rocketnews24.com...

♥ 10:13am rsj:

killdozer, how can this work so well?

♥ 10:13am eyenoise:

Will Killdozer be available in Pono?

10:13am Chris M.:

extra killdozer is just what i needed this morning. thanks, Ken!

♥ 10:14am pacific standard simon:

If Yo La Tengo can't make it for the Marathon, there's always Killdozer.

♥ 10:15am AnAnonymousParty:

I'd like to see the the sheet music for this.

10:15am KP:

yeah, yeah, yeah

10:16am Rev. Turnip Druid:

'mornin troops.
Hey that's the fastest James May has ever driven...

10:17am Dave B:

Is that Cage's head in the flying saucer? Looks like a still from "Vampire Kiss"

10:17am Cheri Pi:

Papps!

10:17am Rev. Turnip Druid:

PAH!

10:18am bobdoesthings:

cold turkey has me becoming an insomniac and getting delirium tremens

10:19am KP:

So there's something beyond Birth, School, Work, Death for the Godfathers?

10:19am fred von helsing:

"2 million watt transmitter tubes .. weighs over 150 lbs/70 kg .. 17,000 volts on the anode at 60 amps" .. www.triodeel.com...

♥ 10:19am AnAnonymousParty:

Hey, it's Mr. Wizard's meth lab!

♥ 10:20am common:

this whole godfathers record is ok.

10:21am glenn:

speaking of neil young, he's promoting pono at sxsw.www.thestar.com...

10:21am Dave B:

for a second there I read that as "porno"

10:22am Rev. Turnip Druid:

@KP: it's their first LP I think - I only ever had that one & "more songs about love & hate" (the 2nd) -- but Birth, School, etc was the winner.

♥ 10:22am pacific standard simon:

poon

10:22am Mark S:

$399? Apple is shaking in tis boots

10:22am Neil Young:

And later I'll be promoting porno.

10:23am Cheri Pi:

J-DIV

10:24am f▐f▐ (:

I heard Lubeh is Putin's favourite Russian band. Is anyone familiar with this guys?

10:24am bibi:

is this putin/seagall prefight for real ?!
the rodman/kim-jong-un duet is beaten.

♥ 10:24am Ken:

Yes, it's a sure sign of trouble that Neil is selling Pono players via Kickstarter. Sounds like Plan D in action.

10:24am Ralphine:

I got a text message from a friend of mine yesterday saying, "Neil Young interview at SXSW is an infomercial for Pono, and I had to sit through a Rahm Emanuel infomercial for Chicago to see it."

10:25am fred von helsing:

Neil, megaEdsel in view, are you high ?

10:25am Dave B:

Hey Ken - does the station need any AV racks? We've got a few from some integrated rooms that we're rebuilding. About 10RU high, with a slide out rotating base.

I'll send some pics...

♥ 10:26am Peanut Gallery:

@RTD There are a couple of songs I love on each of the Godfathers' last two major label releases: More Songs About Love & Hate and Unreal World. I have got to get that first album now...

10:26am Mark S:

Watch: Iggy Pop and New Order perform Joy Division songs

consequenceofsound.net...

10:27am fred von helsing:

@daveB More gear pr0n pleaze!

♥ 10:27am Guido (Cologne):

@KEN
AUTO-REFESH of PLAYLIST-side of Frameset seems not to work!?!?

♥ 10:29am Ken:

Yes DAve B, please send some pics. Guido - email me with details about your browser etc.

♥ 10:30am maestroso:

Same here, Ken. IE 8

♥ 10:30am efd:

Ken, is it possible that in all the hubbub this morning you overlooked setting your playlist to live/Accu? I'm not seeing the usual live features like song title at the top of the playlist and on the WFMU homepage.

10:31am KevinfromBayRidge:

Good Morning & Congrats...Same playlist refresh problems. Chrome

10:31am f▐f▐ (:

Same problem as Guido, here. Opera 10.

10:32am trish:

No refresh and no song title feed to he player..
Not that it's an inspection or anything

10:32am frenchee:

yeah, EFD, I noticed the same thing....it's not on the pop-up player either.

10:32am f▐f▐ (:

..But I found a solution. Point your finger to F5 and click it. It works!

10:33am Cheri Pi:

FLEEPER!!!!

♥ 10:33am tim from champaign:

Flipper really encompasses all that I love about music. Flipper and side 2 of Funhouse.

♥ 10:34am Ken:

Thanks Evan, that was it. Fuck.

♥ 10:34am Guido (Cologne):

@KEN

Evan F D seems to have the answer
See comments above

♥ 10:35am Guido (Cologne):

... ahh ... done ... OK ..

10:35am KevinfromBayRidge:

WFMU...The place that fixes itself!

10:36am bibi:

i think the whole playlist is being absorbed in the infinity pizza vortex. watch out your screens and keyboards.
note i can still type with my substitute black olives. keyboard just a bit slippery.

10:37am fred von helsing:

uh-oh the chatboard is becoming self-aware

10:38am Dave B:

We have these two other AV racks, but their about 8 feet tall and I don't think I can squeeze 'em in my smart car...

10:39am bobdoesthings:

cheap lanyard labor.

10:39am Roberto:

I thought anger management sleepaway camp (AMSC) had dissolved following your departure.

10:40am Sam:

Do you have to do trust falls? I HATE those! Risking your life for some dumb group bonding gimmick.

10:40am Dave B:

their = they're (above)

10:41am fred von helsing:

adopted the remote gear storage closet <3

♥ 10:43am Guido (Cologne):

@fred
you have to swim the pond in order to look after it!
You are responsible now!

10:43am Sigurdur:

here´s some of my favorites joy div live.......... D www.youtube.com...

10:46am Dave B:

can't remember the name of that mouse from "Zapped!"

10:47am fred von helsing:

@guido sending duct tape, WD-40, and a big box of Radio Shack leftovers

10:51am KevinfromBayRidge:

Klassic Ken! Love this

♥ 10:51am common:

i love me some zapped!

10:51am Monty Python:

No Time Tolouse?

♥ 10:52am AnAnonymousParty:

10:54am chinaski:

♥ 10:54am tim from champaign:

Ken, can you keep the American Woman going with the Butthole Surfers version?

10:54am stan in kentucky:

♥ 10:54am MichelleinGreenBay:

Good morning!

♥ 10:55am common:

a.c.!

10:55am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Still completely destroyed from seeing the 'surfers do that cover live in '89...

10:55am Rev. Turnip Druid:

YAY! MISSUS MCWIGGAN!

♥ 10:55am joe:

'ello folks

10:55am MenfussMike:

A.C. threw a chair at me. Their cover of War Machine is pretty hilarious.

10:56am Jim Devoid:

Seth from AC once pissed on my van tire, good times!

10:56am Thatan:

Shuckth! Where am I going to get thothe little thtereo connector pluggy partth that never theem to be available when you look for them?

11:02am Ralphine:

That dolphin GIF was produced by Rocco Siffredi?

11:03am fred von helsing:

WFMU leveraged buyout of defunked Radio Shax !

11:04am Sam:

In France during the monarchy the princes were known as "dauphins", or dolphins. And in England the future king is called the Prince of Whales.... Isn't it obvious that these intelligent sea creatures are the real ones calling the shots? Or at least they were in the 1700's.

11:04am chinaski:

Rocco produces a lot

11:04am steve:

uh oh... i need Radio Shack to live, i think im the only person still buying stuff from the parts drawers in the back of the store.

11:06am Roberto:

What a silly bunt.

♥ 11:06am MichelleinGreenBay:

Sadly, I have no A.C. story. I've lived a sheltered life...

♥ 11:07am Planet Tyler:

Dance of the Vamps is also The Fearless Vampire Killers and it's very funny - on purpose - worth watching. There's an Old Jewish Guy vampire!

11:07am fred von helsing:

If you're building a basement nuke I can recommend Radio Shack's krytron tubes.

11:09am dc pat:

hey, who's blowing up buildings up there??

11:10am pierre:

so…
how is it going everybody ?
ça va ?

♥ 11:11am Andrew Waterloo:

pas mal

11:12am Foolbert:

Ken: try this Serenity Prayer: 'LORD, give me serenity, OR KILL ME.'

11:12am Sean D. Daily:

Mark E. sounds off on this Fall song. It sounds like he had only ten gallons of whiskey before recording it.

11:12am Thatan:

Not half bad!

11:12am KP:

C'est la vie

♥ 11:13am Andrew Waterloo:

I remember looking up Fearless Vampire Killers because Skinny Puppy sampled it.

11:13am dc pat:

@Sean D: I may be wrong but I think Mark E. is strictly a pint-drinking-drunk.

11:14am KP:

Where else am i going to be urged to buy batteries for my batteries

11:15am Foolbert:

Could we continue the {small animal} themelet by playing Cub's "My Chincilla"?

♥ 11:15am Station Mgr Ken:

TMI Mike

♥ 11:16am Andrew Waterloo:

Radioshack is nice when Digikey has too many options.

♥ 11:17am Mike East:

sorry Ken.

11:17am bibi:

the sound of this circle x track is singular, and good. i dont know how guitars are mixed but great result.

♥ 11:18am Ken:

♥ 11:21am Mike East:

CECILIA!!!

11:22am dc pat:

PUPS!!!!!!!

11:22am Cecile:

Fofofoia!

11:24am Cecile:

Ken can you play Bass For My Birthday by the Troggs?

11:24am Sean D. Daily:

How about a Jokerfan song every 15 minutes about the last 15 minutes of the show?

11:27am glenn:

manhattan building collapses. www.torontosun.com...

♥ 11:27am Marcel M:

Why do I ALWAYS decide to smoke a splif RIGHT before I leave for work... Not conducive for being on time.

11:28am steve:

do you think if i sent Matt Farley a delay pedal he'd start adding echo effects all over his new songs?

11:28am KP:

They're playing my song

11:28am bobdoesthings:

good going marcel..

♥ 11:28am Mike East:

yes, I do, steve

♥ 11:29am Marcel M:

I know your routin' for me bob

11:30am bobdoesthings:

of course

11:30am steve:

i'd do it just to get a new song titled "Delay Pedal"

♥ 11:31am Peanut Gallery:

Bob sez: "For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself."

11:31am wink:

this song is just so amazing. thanks for playing. no one can rip us to shreds like bob.

11:31am glenn:

you can send me the delay, and i'll send matt farley an email to tell him you sent it to me.

11:32am Ralphine:

Who else would rhyme "skull" with "Capitol"?

11:32am bobdoesthings:

meh

♥ 11:32am Planet Tyler:

Did Bob record this song on Talk Like A Pirate Day?

11:34am Cecile:

Tonio K!

♥ 11:34am Peanut Gallery:

Yes, it's from the same song, but my fave is "sons of bitches" and "orphanages".

11:34am !:

Tonio!

11:35am Cecile:

Fountains of sorrow my ass!

♥ 11:35am paul b:

The strange thing is I've probably heard the Gun Club's song Idiot Waltz more times than Dylan's Idiot Wind. Oh well its all good

11:36am ratbone:

waiting for the beep!

11:36am Roberto:

This song would make a great AMSC theme song.

♥ 11:37am Kat in Chicago:

How have I never heard this Tonio K? Brilliant!

11:38am ratbone:

gottit

11:38am Cecile:

It's a pretty great album

11:38am glenn:

well, it's 30 odd years old, and probably only sold about 50 copies.

11:39am f▐f▐ (:

Nothing like a beautiful day to being in hate mode. See those happy clouds in the sky? Well, they can go to hell!

♥ 11:39am Kat in Chicago:

@glenn: I'm 50-odd years old :) but yeah

11:40am f▐f▐ (:

Welcome to our world, Kat in Chicago.

11:40am Cecile:

The laurel canyon the revolution will not be televised.

11:41am Ralphine:

"See those happy clouds in the sky? Well, they can go to hell!"

That's how Bob Ross ended his last show.

11:42am Cecile:

Kat, it's from 1979 and the album life in the food chain can still be found inexepensively

11:42am f▐f▐ (:

Ken,

I tried to look for a Spanish version of Revolution Blues and failed miserably. Sorry. Must try harder.

11:42am Cecile:

Killing it Ken!

11:43am glenn:

MOBY FUCKING GRAPE!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 11:43am DCE:

great Grape!

11:44am Ralphine:

That Tonio K album is on Spotify.

♥ 11:44am tim from champaign:

I'm digging the hippie side of Ken today. Thanks Ken!

11:44am f▐f▐ (:

Ralphine,

Really? Who's Bob Ross? I'm gonna duckduckgo it.

♥ 11:45am Planet Tyler:

@paul, if you listened to "Romance in Durango" more than "El Paso" (Marty Robbins) you might be evened-out

11:45am Cecile:

Thanks Ken!

11:46am dc pat:

wow, nice request fulfillment...

11:46am f▐f▐ (:

Raplphine. Forget about it. Now I know who's Bob Ross. He can certainly go to hell too. Wait, no. He's a nice guy.

11:47am Cecile:

Great GoF joke in there

11:47am f▐f▐ (:

A lot of new songs/bands for me today. And it's still 1 hour to go before the Duane Train arrives!!!

11:47am glenn:

neil and a couple of the grape guys played gigs around laurel canyon as a pickup bar band called the ducks.

11:48am Rogue Island:

Great Show Mr Ken. I think next year MORE crisis will make the Marathon even BETTER.

11:49am Cecile:

More betterer

11:50am Wilson K:

This reminds me of McClusky

11:52am northguineahills:

next year's crisis: mysterious attacks by shadowy, heretofore unknown Transmitter Liberation Front

11:56am Fernando M P:

I hate when I'm diggin the song and the WFMU app crashes. I had high hopes that the new version of the app or the new iOS 7.1 would fix this, but no!!!

♥ 11:57am Guido (Cologne):

Sometimes remind me on "Plastic people of the Universe" (CSSR-Underground-legend)

11:58am northguineahills:

@Fernando: Heck, that usually happens w/ the normal stream.

Thanks again Ken!

11:58am Cory:

we are the Liberation Transmitter Front. the Transmitter Liberation Front are complete tossers.

11:58am northguineahills:

Yep, Guido, very Plastic People of the Universe.

11:59am dc pat:
