Listener comments!

🚽

6:40am -Ken:

Hi all!

6:47am maestroso:

Good morning Ken!

7:12am Bjarne:

I had this dream last night Ken, we met at a pet store. You were getting a parrot and, and I was getting a new frog. I went over to you and said hello. But you did not like that! You were so mad and disappointed at me.
I don't remember everything, but it ended up with you and your parrot telling me that my frog was old and stupid.
Why Ken? Why are you mad at me?

7:36am Yvang:

Hey!

7:38am Michael:

G'morn Ken.

7:38am Yvang:

@Bjarne The frog symbolize the walrus...and the parrot is the eggman

🚽

7:42am AnAnonymousParty:

GM all. And note to self: Avoid eye contact with Ken if we're ever in the same pet store.

7:53am sphere:

hello folks

7:55am Cube:

Hello, sphere.

8:01am sphere:

are we solid, Cube? :)

8:04am Cube:

In certain dimensional configurations, yes.

8:05am sphere:

good. i'm not going to be hyper today.

8:07am Oblate Spheroid:

Hey guys, I'm a little hungover today, got a little smashed last night.

8:14am F˽F˽ (:

Hello, Ken and fellow Kommenters!

Absolutely fantastic GIFs!

8:15am sphere:

when you're feeling better, Oblate, why don't you come around?

🚽

8:15am -Ken:

No parrot, but I am with my new aussie cattle dog puppy. Lola. I lost naming rights in a poker game. So it's Lolita or Lola or NOLA. ANd as I am on puppy duty, I am Fucked. No sound card for my computer, arriving incredibly late with a rambunctions 3 month old pup. So I amy go to my official stalling set, just sayin....

8:17am F˽F˽ (:

Cue long duration songs requests!

8:21am sphere:

I believe that the new Doubles album from In The Red is one long song over two sides of an LP.

8:21am Wild Neil:

@Ken-what "job" will you give your Australian cattle dog? I read they need a "job" to be happy since they are so high energy...maybe a doggie powered butter churn?

8:21am Oblate Spheroid:

Soon as Tetrahedron gets up, he and Plane had a fight. She's so two faced ... we we're up kinda late after he came over.

8:22am Wild Neil:

@Oblate Spheroid-here's looking at Eu,clid!

8:22am sphere:

yeah. and Tetrahedron can be so edgy. i've had many pointed arguments with him.

8:26am F˽F˽ (:

Requests:
- Photo of Lolita
- Puppies Gifs
- Ms McWiggan at the phone
- Porest's song about the Finnish dog scientist

Antidote-requests

🚽

8:27am -Ken:

f0f0 what;s the name of this Porest song?

8:43am bobdoesthings:

goodmorning

8:43am bobdoesthings:

Im just here for the gifs.

8:44am Choosy mothers:

That's why we're here too.

8:47am Wild Neil:

The spider GIF is super bad ass.

8:48am F˽F˽ (:

Ken,

It's from the one Porest recorded for WFMU. It's called 'The Optimised - Parallel Broadcasts'. It's the first segment where the finnish music scientist describes how dogs helped him discover the saddest chords. The entire track last 17 minutes in total.

Wild Neil,

I agree! I wonder if it real or animated? Does someone knows its source?

8:53am cory:

hi all. Ken could you play the kids singing about scientology? "Thetans, thetans, thetans"?

🚽

8:56am -Ken:

Ah shoot, this really stinks that I cant play anything from my laptop.. I had that Porest piece on it.. I could play it off the website I suppose.

8:58am Wild Neil:

@Ken-could you move the file to someone else's laptop and use that laptop to play it on? Maybe your laptop is specially configured for broadcast or something.....

9:00am bobdoesthings:

oh no the gifs!!! :(

9:01am MD:

Wherever you go ...there you are...GOOD MORNING ALL!!!!

9:03am Wild Neil:

WOW this is heavy....

🚽

9:04am -Ken:

Cory, I would be happy to play your request. It's coming right up!

🚽

9:04am -Ken:

PS, Cory - Keep the great musical requests coming! :)

9:05am cory:

wait what? for real? wow you really don't like the bloodhound gang.

9:06am MD:

Can we hear Scientologists singing about kids...like little messenger girls...

9:08am ?:

Please play some Browne Hornet for cory, Ken! It's like Bloodhound Gang but on WFMU steroids. Cory, you are going to love it.

🚽

9:08am -Ken:

Cory, Will get to the Bloodhound Gang too, after the Scientology tune. Keep 'em comin!

9:09am F˽F˽ (:

that was my comment.

9:09am Wild Neil:

@Ken-Young Black Teenagers, Proud to be Black.

9:09am cory:

ah, sarcasm

🚽

9:09am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'll bet some didgeridoo music would pick up Lola's ears. Especially something from the pooeydedoo genre.

9:10am Jeff:

The stomping dancing robot is perfect for this Earthless tune.

But explain to me again how the beginning of the jam isn't a straight Pink Floyd cover?

9:11am the Canterbury wood-elf:

RAWK!

9:11am Wild Neil:

Earthless is amazing. They can cover Pink Floyd all they want!

9:12am Jeff:

Oh, I agree!

🚽

9:12am -Ken:

Cory, no! Not sarcasm. I'm gonna play both of them. You'll see. Trying to make it all up to you, brother.

9:12am Nick S.:

Acid is kicking in!

9:14am Aaron:

That's way too much guitar wankery! My god!!

9:15am Nick S.:

Voivod!

🚽

9:15am -Ken:

This is excellent puppy naptime music! Who knew?

9:15am cory:

VVVOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD

9:15am Nick S.:

Saw them do this live not long ago. Great band!

9:16am Wild Neil:

Cute dog!

9:16am Nick S.:

Do you know the band Virus, Ken?

9:16am βrian:

Cute, yes, but no Dr BootyGrabber.

9:16am cory:

who is that?

9:16am Jack:

Ken, that's a cute puppy. I like him! He's got a nice smile.

🚽

9:16am Ken From Hyde Park:

Voivod! !! !!!

9:16am Nick S.:

You might really like their new record.

9:17am Roberto:

Great pic, Ken!

9:17am Howard F:

Haven't heard this in years! Thanks Ken.

9:17am Jeff:

@Jack - that's a lady puppy.

9:18am Nick S.:

9:18am Nick S.:

A good long one.

9:18am βrian:

Has it cooled down in NYC yet?

9:19am Lizardner Dave:

PUPPY!!!!

9:19am Jeff:

Turns out sometimes I really enjoy Pink Floyd covers done by guitar RAWK bands. Thanks, Ken.

9:21am F˽F˽ (:

PINKK THE FUCKINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

9:21am cory:

HAHAHAHA, somehow i've slowly tricked ken into playing my faveourite pink floyd song!

🚽

9:21am AnAnonymousParty:

Now that's the real deal there.

9:22am Wild Neil:

Careful With That Axe Eugene maybe? I know, you just played it on the drug show you did a few weeks back.....

9:22am Brian C.:

So glad I'm tuned in!

9:22am Jeff:

@cory: Who's hitmotized who?

9:24am cory:

OMG, ROGER WATERS HAS BRIAN WARSHED US AL!

9:24am Mick:

Wow - Earthless, puppy pix, Voivod, Pink Floyd, Scientological chants AND geometry jokes on the comment thread, and it's not even 9:30 yet. I'm going to need extra coffee just to keep up.

9:24am the Canterbury wood-elf:

Did anyone else notice the little "Dr. Who" theme quote in this?
i vaguely recall Gilmour making that more explicit on one of those turgid late 20th c live albums they put out.

9:25am Nick S.:

Aw, HELL YES!

9:26am Julie:

was not expecting the morning Floydness

🚽

9:26am AnAnonymousParty:

If you listen closely you can hear the Tardis heaving sound too.

9:26am Nick S.:

This whole record is great. I recommend going back in Virus' catalog, too.

9:27am Marcel M:

Morning.

9:28am Nick S.:

I am hoping for a big Virus tour in support! They will play NYC (shit).

9:28am pantz:

@Ken I know it's a day late, but Return of the Living Dead was released Aug 16, 1986. It had a great punk soundtrack. Could you maybe play something from that, if you have it?

9:28am cory:

virus is nifty and/or pretty swell

9:29am Wild Neil:

Virus is...menacing...sounds like Ian Curtis singing a bit, the guy from Joy Division is who I mean, maybe the name is wrong...or maybe Interpol...

9:30am Nick S.:

Virus is Metal. This is a departure.

9:31am Chris Squire:

I like the bass parts.

9:32am Marcel M:

Digging this Virus track a lot.

9:33am Wild Neil:

Clicky star for Virus. For sure.

9:33am Nick S.:

Ha! Ken you're fearless. Love the idea of this raining down over NYC.

9:35am Wild Neil:

The price on this album varies widely!
www.discogs.com...

9:36am Nick S.:

Order it now. Virus records sell out and are not reissued.

9:36am cory:

thanks, NIck S

9:37am MD:

JOY!

9:38am MD:

JOY!

9:38am Tome:

despite the friggin' hole of an office i'm in right now it's a groovy tunes morning

9:38am MD:

JOY!

9:39am Jeff:

I'd have thought the squeaky toy would drive Ted crazy, but he's studiously (even stoicly) ignoring it.

9:39am Nick S.:

Shittyflute!

9:39am Tome:

.... agrees with the above wholeheartedly...

🚽

9:40am Vivian:

Ken, I love your new friend! Aussie cattle dogs - get ready for a lot of energy and running.
Can't wait for updates on Lola/Lolita/Nola.

9:40am melinda:

morning all

9:40am Brian C.:

I think those dogs like to dig, too

9:41am melinda:

That new puppy is adorable!

9:41am cory:

killer set

9:42am F˽F˽ (:

I propose the name 'Nolita' for the pup. It covers the Nola/Lola/Lolita.

It is also a palyndrome.

9:42am βrian:

Darn!
www.snopes.com...

9:43am Marcel M:

Morning, Melinda.

Yeah your back up stalling set is pretty good, Ken.

9:46am Tome:

...was a sleeping puppy ,, aww..

9:46am Lizardner Dave:

This is the Central Scrutinzer.....

9:46am weiterso:

real dogs never sleep

9:47am Wild Neil:

@Nick S...ordered...a promo CD, from the UK! How exciting my life is now!

9:49am F˽F˽ (:

ROSA EXTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Wait...Who the heck is Rosa Extra?!

I don't know but sounds great!

9:52am Webhamster Henry:

Deutschetypospolizei: That probably should say : Was Mir Deine Schleuder Ist Dir Deine Waschmaschine

9:52am Marcel M:

Woah woah.. bringing out this KHLAM classic.

9:52am Henry:

clams!

9:53am Nick S.:

Cool Wild Neil! I should be getting my record today. I was just looking up Tour dates for Virus and they are not listing a show for NYC but one for a festival in Philly in Nov.

9:53am cory:

KKKKKKKKKKK *coughcoughcough* HHHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM

9:53am krissy b:

Is this a fucking Chris Isaak cover

9:54am el BO-bO:

Knee ha shura pota! Watch your language bboy!

9:55am βrian:

Single release records just aren't special enough for me. Zero releases or nothing! (Or, and nothing, I guess.)

9:55am Marcel M:

Ken, I have a request I played on my show the other day I think you'll really like. Digital Frankenstein by Hikashu.

9:56am SeanG:

KKKKKKHHHHHLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🚽

9:57am -Ken:

Marcel - Is it a CD or?

9:58am Marcel M:

I own it on CD. So I brought it. Not sure if the station has it.. Maybe its on Spotify? Other DJs have played it so very possible you guys have the cd.

9:58am Nick S.:

The beautiful Stacia! She wished me a Happy birthday last year on FB and it made my day. Silly.

10:00am SeanG:

loving this

🚽

10:00am -Ken:

Wow Nick, that's great! I once got a get well card from Richard Hell. What a sweet guy.

10:00am Polyus:

I can't believe nobody has said it yet. . .

10:00am Marcel M:

Album is called Ikirukoto

🚽

10:05am Ken From Hyde Park:

Voivod 2 ! !! !!!

10:05am Sam:

It's good papaya growing weather

10:05am Nick S.:

Well, Moe Tucker told me to "Wake up and stop drinking the Kool-Aid." before she defriended me after I posted a political rant. I would forget we were FB friends and twice she chimed in to insult me. I was always awestruck and honored. Silly. I've heard Hell is one of the nicest people.

🚽

10:06am Guido from Cologne:

Hello Ken!

10:07am Rick L:

Hey all, any recommendations on good earplugs for concerts? Seeing Swans and Drive Like Jehu recently made me rethink ear protection -- the foam earplugs sold at the bar are overkill and wadded-up napkins are ghetto and don't quite cut it. Also, I don't want to spend a small fortune.

10:09am Marcel M:

Hey Ken, I'm burning the cd right now and I can send you the mp3s. I think you'll dig the whole record.

10:09am cory:

@Rick L, Hearos? i think that's what they are called. used them in my last band. really nice and not expensive

10:09am βrian:

Hearing loss is way overpriced. Whaddya going to do?

10:10am el BO-bO:

Not used to this much energy from Matmos. Cool song.

10:12am Howard F:

@Rick L: From my experience, the foam earplugs work well if you don't shove them all the way into your ear. I saw the Swans show at MHOW, and that's what I did. Good luck!

10:12am Polyus:

I always use the crappy foam plugs, bad as they are. Have been thinking about the expensive custom jobs forever, but keep blowing off getting some made.

10:13am Nick S.:

Gnod! These guys are excellent!

10:14am Marcel M:

@Polyus: An inbetween setep between the foam ones and fancy ass ones are they ETY ones: smile.amazon.com... (Notice I used a smile.amazon link for WFMU ;-) )

They're nothing AMAZING but DEF better than the foam.

10:14am Rick L:

@Howard F: Yeah, I even considered shaving the foam plugs down to about half the width.

🚽

10:14am -Ken:

I like wax earplugs. Best brand is Bite The Wax Tadpole Ear Protectors but they are hard to find.

🚽

10:14am Vivian:

Ken, how is Lola/Lolita/Nola doing? Is she still asleep?

10:15am Wild Neil:

@Rick L-I like these barrel shaped ones for years and years...but have you considered getting shooting earmuffs? That might be too much though...by the way , if you order by 5pm from McMAster-CARR it arrives tomorrow at your doorstep. www.mcmaster.com...

10:15am Nick S.:

🚽

10:15am -Ken:

Yes, she is sleeping through everything. I am blessed!

10:15am Nick S.:

Another rec. You'll like this, too!

10:17am Nick S.:

Last one!

10:17am Wild Neil:

earmuff hearing protection...wear it with earplugs for double ear protection....www.mcmaster.com...

10:18am βrian:

McMaster-Carr is a freakishly useful site for tinkerers. I resisted, but I've fallen under their sway.

10:19am Marcel M:

What deity blesses an atheist cattle dog owner?

10:20am Wild Neil:

@Brian it is usually a bit more expensive , but so FAST. It blows my mind its so fast.
@Marcel-ok, I'll play your game. What diety blesses and atheist cattle dog owner?

10:21am Nick S.:

Pluto

10:21am βrian:

From Expressions of Our Times:
"More rare than a cattle dog in a CAFO."

🚽

10:21am AnAnonymousParty:

I've gotten good use out of these: www.earplugstore.com...

They block loud sounds when they need to but then allow low level sound thru.

🚽

10:23am Rich in Washington:

JP Sears is wonderful! I loved his gluten video.

10:23am melinda:

@Rick: I sometimes use trimmed foam plugs for sleeping, since the regular size gets uncomfortable.

🚽

10:24am AnAnonymousParty:

Oh no, no .... not just anybody can put on spandex.

10:24am Polyus:

sheesh, this guy sounds like most of my friends.

10:25am Marcel M:

@Ken: We Transfer sent of that Hikashu album.

10:26am melinda:

I like this Prince Rama. I missed most of their live set the other day.

10:26am βrian:

I keep getting nicked and cut when I put my hand in the garbage disposal. Can anyone recommend gloves for that?

10:27am F˽F˽ (:

Prince Rama. My favourite hippie chicks.

10:27am Nick S.:

Ken turned me onto Prince Rama 5 or six years ago. I've seen them three times.

10:27am foreign_listener_k:

I have been reliably informed this is stranger hugging music - congratulations on having the finest taste in now music

10:29am jan:

Foam Plugs work- choose highest DB reduction availble at drug stores or Home Depot. Still they seem to work their way out of the ear. Tissue paper wet with water or saliva jammed into the ear canal reduces the noise further, and stuffed all the way in is hardly noticeable, but hard to extract later.

🚽

10:29am AnAnonymousParty:

@βrian: Really heavy welding gloves?

10:30am jan:

@Ken, what are your favorite Olympic events?

10:31am Nick S.:

@βrian: Cut off your hands to spite your disposal!

10:32am cory:

damnit, have to fly solo for the rest of the show. sick co-workers suck

10:32am Solid Mel:

Incidentally, her name is "Stacia", and they're Hawkwind.

10:33am βrian:

My wife tells me not to put my hands in the disposal when it's running. She just doesn't get it.

10:34am Marcel M:

Prince Rama are born into it Hare Krishna's. Can't get more hippy than that!

10:34am Rick L:

@Marcel: Yeah, I've looked at the ETY ones as well as V-MODA's (smile.amazon.com...). Just want something that will lower the dbs but keep the rest intact. Desperately trying not to over-evaluate. Will probably go with one of those.

10:34am Nick S.:

@βrian: Fist my wife.

10:35am coelacanth:

greetings Ken and others
Excellent music and great images here too

10:35am cee:

really miss competitive clambaking

10:36am βrian:

Dog fart?

10:36am Marcel M:

@Rick: Never tried those other ones but they look good. Either will work way better than the foam.

10:40am foreign_listener_k:

No SSD archive of Pringe Rama? No hugs for that.

10:42am βrian:

Is there an orange-traffic-cone cam, by the way?

10:43am Sam:

Who decided that throwing garbage down your sink was a good idea in the first place? I'm very particular about what goes in my sink. Anything gross goes straight to the trash or the toilet.

10:46am Marcel M:

OMG hahaha

10:46am Jeff:

@Rick L: I second @Marcel M's recommendation of the Etymotic earplugs.

The good old disposable flanged foam plugs block more sound, and are best for plain old noise, but they make music sound weird. The Etymotic plugs let music sound pretty much the same, just less loud. In fact, they can make music sound clearer if the sound at the venue is loud enough without them that your eardrums are getting driven into flapping paroxysms of overload distortion.

10:46am sphere:

OMX, it's Scientology! never heard this before.

10:46am Marcel M:

I want some shocks in my glands.

10:46am Mark the Sardine:

Had no idea. Scientology music. Wow.

10:47am F˽F˽ (:

foreign_listener_k

The show was archived. I listened to it.

10:47am jan:

Love Mister Auditor!

10:47am Brendan:

Ahhh the Hitler youth

10:48am Polyus:

Mr. Auditor sounds like the friend I have been seeking.

10:48am Marcel M:

Yes the difference between the foam plugs is significant. I (stupidly) went many years without using plugs bands I've been in, one reason being I tried the foam ones and just hated it. ETY ones are a huge step up. That being said, I do think they cut treble A BIT. So as a musician, you have to remember that the treble is cut slightly without them and not to adjust when they are in.

10:49am F˽F˽ (:

PORESSSST!

10:50am ((Murakami Whywolf):

cee:
Don't you mean 'Repetitive khlambhakhingh'?

10:50am foreign_listener_k:

F˽F˽ (: - any active link? Hippy chicks and Breckman sounds potentially amusing.

10:50am βrian:

Cabbage roll!

10:50am Marcel M:

They had me at, "Yankee Doodle martyr brigade."

10:51am ((Murakami Whywolf):

I'd like to introduce Mr Auditor to Mr B Natural.

10:52am Marcel M:

(In terms of the ear plugs) Also keep in mind its a difference of a hundred or even a few hundred bucks to get something that TRULY cuts the frequencies evenly.. so I think 16 for the ETY is a no brainer.

10:52am F˽F˽ (:

foreign_listener_k,

Prince Rama live with Andy and Ken at the UCB Theatre
http://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=37060&archive=63066

10:53am ((Murakami Whywolf):

Sounds like a conservative's impression of a liberal.

10:53am cory:

re earplugs:
tinnitus is a bitch

10:54am Brendan:

What?

10:54am Polyus:

Wow, love this Minutemen song and haven't heard it in a long time.

10:54am Listener Scott:

I saw the original 2003 production of A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant and that song wasn't in there; I'll have to catch up with what they've done b/c that sounded great.

10:56am jan:

@age 64, my hearing is somewhat impaired and I also hear a constant hiss or ringing.
Must have been loud concerts, music on the home stereo and using power tool and hammers without ear protection. Most memorable cause of hearing loss: A Glenn Branca concert at BAM sitting front and center. My ribcage was already resonating, but when the felt hat that I held in my hand began to vibrate, I knew that the concert was hazardous to my health and I sprinted up the aisle to the exits. In the lobby, the music was still amply loud,

10:56am #4:

MOZ!

10:57am el BO-bO:

Is this a whole album of Morrisey songs in Spanish? Sounds great. Chetes is a gr8 musico albeit a bit narcicisstic.

10:57am Jeff:

Since @F˽F˽ ( has dug up the show link, I'll just provide you with the pictures...

Everybody say AWWWWWWW for the puppie!

10:58am sphere:

Has Lola peed on the traffic cones yet?

Before the sunrise by joy wellboy next?

11:00am rev. turnip druid:

that's a positive comment, btw..

11:00am Whooda:

Thanks for the show DJ Station Manager Ken. Good luck with that handful of fur and teeth. Just listened to Don't Shoot The Dog audio book. Give it a listen.

11:00am el BO-bO:

Central Park herb.ny? Latin alternative music conference?

11:03am F˽F˽ (:

Compass!! Finally. It took one year but my request has finally been delivered! Thanks, Ken

11:03am herb.nyc:

yes Bo-bo. and they did a free show at the smaller Rough Trade venue, night before.

11:04am foreign_listener_k:

F˽F˽ (: - thanks - my normal PC/archiving system is Flash-less, to mention having Javascript and images turned off in the browser.

11:05am coelacanth:

re: earplugs - keep in mind that it is the high frequencies that permanently impair your hearing, much, much more than mid or lower. i want to protect my hearing, even if it changes the music somewhat. i hope it does in fact...usually -at least in smallish venues, the cymbals are disproportionately loud anyway, so foam earplugs work perfectly for me.
...not the pvc ones though. they suck.

11:05am el BO-bO:

herb.ny Did u hav to hav a pass? Did u. meet Chetes?

11:07am herb.nyc:

Bo-bo: the show was open to general pubic. and public. i didn't meet any of the band, tho they looked so friendly.

11:07am F˽F˽ (:

Chetes is the strongest advocate of Mexrrisey.

11:07am Roberto:

Not too bad, Ken. But the second c in "cerca" is a hard c.

11:08am cory:

aw, ken

11:08am F˽F˽ (:

No Manchester. hahahaha. I didn't realise.

11:08am Listener142985:

''dated''? not really

11:10am Roberto:

Goddammit Andy.

11:10am coelacanth:

...that is, the good foam plugs; NOT the ones that are rounded at one end; NOT the ones that are foam inside of plastic.
...and the pvc ones do do the job -IF you can get them into your ears, that is. they expand too quickly to insert them -but i'm sure they're fine for people with bigger ear canals.

11:10am Dean:

Here's a GIF for ya: http://www.nybg.org/poetic-botany/mimosa/images/mimosa_touch.gif

So it seems that the american olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte made up the story about being mugged at gunpoint in Rio. Man, Rio's atmosfere is so infectious that people spend a week in the city and already begin to act just like locals.

11:17am Marcel M:

First we find out the children Scientology song was a fake... now we find out Ryan Lochte didn't actually get mugged? Whats next?!

11:17am cory:

how far is kearny(sp?) from the station?

11:18am cory:

@Marcel, wut?

11:18am Marcel M:

@Cory: 20/30 min drive depending on traffic.

11:18am pantz:

I heard Lochte doesn't even know how to do more than dog paddle. What a faker!

11:20am cory:

is there public transit?

11:20am Listener142985:

wish i had written this letter

🚽

11:21am Vivian:

Who is reading this breakup letter?? I love it!

11:21am Marcel M:

@Cory: goo.gl...

🚽

11:22am AnAnonymousParty:

Is this Tonto or Tarzan?

11:22am Fuzzy:

Pups!

11:22am Rick L:

$16 for decent earplugs seems a no-brainer. I'm going to get a few extra sets for my daughters who have gone to shows and parked themselves right in front of the speakers. Now to just get them to actually use them.... And the attached cords on some models are a good idea in theory -- I'd imagine no one wants to drop an earplug on the floor at a show.

11:22am cory:

@Marcel, ty sir.

11:23am Polyus:

I never thought of some of these as guitar solos, just melodies.

11:24am doctorjazz:

Neil Young has a prominent part on all of these tapes.

11:25am cory:

oh, it's not even 8 miles? hahaha, when we visit the inlaws i'm walking to the station!

11:25am βrian:

Ears or just drain holes? You decide.

🚽

11:26am -Ken:

Agreed Polyus, it is not meant to be a guitar solo mixtape, but rather a one note guitar mixtape.

11:27am Nigel Tufnel:

Just listen to that sustain!

11:27am beavo:

REM have a lot of one note solos

11:28am Polyus:

Ah, I get it.

11:29am Brendan:

Without music life would B flat

11:29am Cheri Pi:

Yah!

11:29am el BO-bO:

Ty for the info herb.ny

🚽

11:29am AnAnonymousParty:

When do we get Carlos Santana holding a single note for 17 min in the live version of Dance With Me?

11:29am Cheri Pi:

Ken you read my mind

11:30am Brendan:

Mine too

11:30am Dean:

11:31am -Ken:

haha thanks Cheri Pi! I heard that Roddy Frame one note solo in there and had to hear the whole thing. Love this album..

11:31am el BO-bO:

This is one of the few tunes I would take to a desert island with me. "Oblivious" is totally indispensable. What a magnificent song!

11:32am Fuzzy:

Pups redux!

11:32am pantz:

Love this Meat Puppets song.

11:32am Polyus:

Everyone whistle!

11:33am βrian:

But ... I can't whistle ... *sniff*

11:34am egould310:

Used to do drugs with these guys.

11:34am el BO-bO:

Ill blow air into the ether hows that?

11:35am weiterso:

Everyone whistle!

🚽

11:35am -Ken:

egould - real drugs I bet

🚽

11:35am Webhamster Henry:

And now, we hear from the plasticwind section!

11:35am el BO-bO:

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

11:35am Dean:

Oh, for Focus' sake.

11:35am Dominick:

S**ttyflute!

11:36am Carmichael:

Heya Kenneth. Man, this is shitty.

11:36am Kat in Chicago:

Get to work in a lousy mood, put on the headphones and WFMU, first thing I hear is shittyflute. I feel better.

11:37am el BO-bO:

Sorry. I guess Im not supposed to curse. Sh*ttyFlutes ever tour???

11:37am Jeff:

H'mm, which most deserves shittyfluting? Hocus Pocus is fun, but Africa is transcendant. It makes me smile and giggle, even as it makes Joe McG frown.

🚽

11:37am AnAnonymousParty:

So, how does the puppy feel about this? My dog howls like a banshee for shitty flute.

11:38am βrian:

You misspelled "phoque," @el BO-bO.

🚽

11:38am -Ken:

AAP, the shitty flute did just wake her up.

🚽

11:38am Webhamster Henry:

Check out Chris Stubb's excellent Hoof 'n' Mouth rendition of HOCUS POCUS: blog.wfmu.org...

11:39am steve:

all hail shittyflute

11:39am Carmichael:

It also appears that Morrissey's love for tacos rivals my own.

11:39am cory:

haha, my cat is awake now. and staring at me

11:40am Okasa:

Wow, just got back from an extended vacation, and am welcomed back by Shittyflute.

11:40am jan:

Talk about hearing damage: Shittyflute is loud and penetrating!

11:40am drr:

nope....still shittyflute

11:41am steve:

\\m//

11:41am cory:

welcome home, Okasa

11:41am doctorjazz:

Shittyflute :)

🚽

11:42am AnAnonymousParty:

I'd pay a dollar to hear a shitty flute version of Hawkwind, either Master of the Universe or You Shouldn't do That.

11:42am doctorjazz:

Now, this Slavic Soul Party Duke is GREAT! (though I can hear how it follows...)

11:43am Andrew Waterloo:

Is there a shitty flute of Rock 'n Roll Part 2? Song 2? or all the other songs they play at hockey games?

11:44am Okasa:

Thanks Cory! Home is where the heart is.

11:46am Wild Neil:

Yeah, Discogs is...addictive! You can find some really cool shit really cheap. Funny, its not that way on Ebay. Wonder why?
Sincerely,
Wild neil

11:47am Marcel M:

Ebay has more idiots who think they have stuff that is valuable or are just trying to rip people off. Not that that doesn't exist on discogs, but way less.

🚽

11:48am Webhamster Henry:

I just made two Schießflöte tracks for PLU. I think restraining yourself to flutes is too limiting though.

11:49am foreign_listener_k:

F˽F˽ (: - thanks again. Took a bit of effort at a different computer, but the archive is in 'dry towels,' as the Germans would say. And not as easy as the first time using the popup player to preserve 'A Gringo Like Me'

11:50am PMD:

Hi Ken from SF. Foggy here and cold.

11:52am doctorjazz:

are we still in 1 note solos?

11:54am melinda:

Whatever Lola Wants, haha!

11:54am F˽F˽ (:

Kein problem, foreign_listener_k

11:55am Dean:

Sarah Vaughff

11:56am foreign_listener_k:

F˽F˽ (: - I really need to keep in mind that the popup player expands the possibilities to make - and keep - things from WFMU available.

11:56am F˽F˽ (:

Thanks, Ken and fellow commenters! Enjoyed the time being with you. Till next episode!

11:57am ChrisVB:
