Is that a homemade bass guitar?

9:18am The Oscar:

Morning all! I once made the mistake of reading the YouTube comments on a Lancelot Link video. Most of the comments were a heated debate as to whether the apes were actually playing the instruments, before devolving into a Creationist flamewar.

9:18am Guido from Cologne:

Nice to hear Martin Newell again.

9:18am Okasa:

9:21am Sebastian:

9:22am F™F™ (:

Don't worry, pierre, you only need to speak French to Andy to scare the shit out of him (he only knows English and Esperandy).

9:33am bobdoesthings:

9:33am The Oscar:

Just finally read The Disaster Artist. Turns out Tommy Wiseau's a weird dude.

9:34am pierre:

@ Ken : ok let's do that, I can skype. But I must warn you, I know nothing about homeschooling.

9:34am Morphe:

Sorry folks, but Morphe is live today.

9:35am Asheville Jon:

good morning Ken, any other Kens, and anyone else who is not a Ken

🚽

9:36am Webhamster Henry:

the return of the Pooeyflutes!

9:36am ultradamno:

Surely something compares to this person. This feels like a failure of imagination.

9:36am wittsend:

wow, thanks station manager ken! my heart goes on for you!!!

9:36am josh in the uk:

scheeeiiiisee floooot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:36am Sebastian:

9:37am wfmu listener phillip:

whats with the crazy sad songs? who died? not Sinead? did she???

9:37am steveo:

so much better than felder...

9:37am Birdie:

This Poopyflute song is NEXT LEVEL.

9:37am doctorjazz:

Poopy flute-and we have complaints about Felder?!

9:38am dale:

my heart has the runs.

9:39am steveo:

birdie, when I hear something terrible on WFMU, I can't help but compare it to other terrible things

9:39am melinda:

Nice to hear the flute.

9:39am Sebastian:

I'm sure you've looked into this Ken, but is there a scheißeflöte-version of Heavy Metal?

9:39am Parq:

Our terrible is less terrible than their terrible.

9:40am melinda:

I prefer pooeyflute to Felder, too.

🚽

9:40am Krys O.:

Oh, this Bowie song is so touching.

9:40am Irene Trudel:

This poopyflute music is causing my cat to pin his ears back. Mine too.

9:40am F™F™ (:

People, people!

Let's call things for what they really are. This nothing more than fecal matter high-pitched woodwind instrument music.

9:40am melinda:

pug, pug!

9:40am Morgan:

Pug pug.
Pug pug.

9:41am jkeigh:

Yay Ricky G!

9:41am zopa:

banal and facile!

9:41am jkeigh:

Woo-hoo some KC. I just bought this album yesterday

9:42am steveo:

does this mean neil's pants are down now?

9:43am doctorjazz:

I'm equal opportunity, love Poopy Flute and Felder, it's all BAD!

9:43am F™F™ (:

KING CRIMSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!!!

Wait...On Ken's show?!!?!

9:43am doctorjazz:

Isn't King Crimson playing in Jersey somewhere soon? I'll look it up...

9:43am Planet Tyler:

Sorry Ken, had to turn off for a sec to listen to that Eminen free style

9:44am jkeigh:

ON Halloween doctorjazz

9:44am wittsend:

i used to have piano recitals and all the other girls participating, myself included, ended up playing the same dion masterpiece. imagine hearing the shitty version of this song ad nauseam by a bunch of third graders in a beautiful hall along route 17...

9:44am doctorjazz:

Yup, they're in Newark, with Fripp.

9:44am doctorjazz:

(there's a Groupon offer for the KC tix...)

9:45am Ernst Soup:

Ken, You've played both Gwenno and Bowie from Extras. Put them together you've got Gwenno Bowie Chubby Little Loser by me, the very modest (though not quite as humble as President Trump, obviously) Ernst Soup. Puhlease!

9:45am Lewis:

@wittsend - too bad there is not a recording, it could end up on Ken's show...

9:46am V Priceless:

Stranglers! Ken!

9:48am wittsend:

ernst soup@ oh, there IS a recording!!

9:48am LP Steve:

Andy Kim WROTE "Sugar, Sugar." Ron Dante sang it.

9:48am melinda:

The Welsh pronunciation made me lol

9:48am glenn:

how to make welsh sound like polish, by ken.

9:49am Vincent Nifigance:

Everyone try to stay calm!

9:49am melinda:

glenn exactly. It doesn't look like Welsh, though.

9:50am F™F™ (:

DAN WAAAAARREN/CAAAARLIN!!

I didn't know there was more material! Thanks, Ken!

9:51am glenn:

i think trump's head would make more of a dull, overripe melon-y thud.

🚽

9:51am Webhamster Henry:

If I recall correctly, this remix goes on for hours.

9:51am dale:

if only trump would die in a masturbatory hanging type thing like michael hutchense.

9:52am wfmu listener phillip:

HEY! what happned to the david bowie piece "little fat man who sold his soul" id like to hear the whole song. because i love bowie!

9:52am Okasa:

Thanks for playing Dan Carlin right before I have to leave for a staff meeting. FAIL!

🚽

9:53am -Ken:

That WAS the whole thing, Philip

9:53am Sebastian:

getting hungry here

9:53am steveo:

i like this better this week; is this track sillier or is it just that I understand what's going on better?

9:53am melinda:

@dale haha

9:54am Stevel:

Chaotic horrific-ness!!!

9:54am melinda:

steveo I like this one better too. I think it is sillier.

9:55am zopa:

Okay, now I want to hear some INXS...

9:55am cory:

@dale, he would have to be able to get hard first

9:55am Morphe:

Ken
Can we have some Andre Williams for levity??
Or I go southside(not CHICAGO) for H
H is Harina - flour to make pizzas for dinner
Morphe

9:56am bobdoesthings:

ugh this is dumb..

9:56am Stevel:

So difficult to envision an army of zombie Republicans. Oh wait, there it is.

9:56am pierre:

so Ken, should I skype tonight ? Is there a specific name to reach you guys ?

9:56am glenn:

yeah, except the republicans have nothing to fear from zombies, who eat brains.

9:56am melinda:

@cory thanks for the image

9:57am cory:

you're welcome!

9:57am melinda:

hehe

🚽

9:59am -Ken:

Yes, Pierre - the skype address is wfmu-fm what is yours?

🚽

9:59am AnAnonymousParty:

Did I accidentally tune into the Rush Limbaugh show?

10:00am Morphe:

Bury Me Deep
is the perfect OCD ME
segway...

🚽

10:01am AnAnonymousParty:

Wait, was it 2.5 time the speed at which a hurricane travels or 2.5 time the max wind speed? I'm confused.

10:02am Lixiviated Life:

Dan Carlin? Fuck that

10:05am jess:

I find myself wishing something horrible would happen to 45

10:05am ultradamno:

I'd like to a reading of that William S. Burroughs letter to Truman Capote next...

10:05am blee:

I pay taxes so you can play Bette Midler.

10:05am ultradamno:

...like to hear...

10:06am cory:

it's been a while since i've watched Dr. Strangelove. i should change that after work

10:07am Mark S:

I suddenly feel the urge to buy some Juicy Fruit

10:07am Lixiviated Life:

At least Burroughs let you know up front he was a junkie.

10:08am F™F™ (:

pierre,

Ken and us are still waiting for you to share your Skype address so we will NEVER spam you.

10:09am zopa:

never forgive. never forget.

10:09am ultradamno:

Buoys!

10:09am Henry:

somebody ate timothy

🚽

10:10am Webhamster Henry:

I was wondering where you were going on the cannibalism angle!

10:10am mr.mikestandsir:

I was under the impression that WFMU was declared a *rump-free zone... Not that I mind the incessant disparaging of the man.

10:10am Morphe:

Kenster if there is no
Bury Me Deep...
(not a Dog Day Afternoon -
hostage threat, but...)
I am heading to the archives/crypt
19.April.2017 ....Time:01:31:2017
I will no longer be live/alive(tip the hat to BillyB)
into the crypt ...before I make a pizza for the wee 6 year old...Morphe ->

10:10am cory:

uh, you guys know that's a cut-up piece, right?

10:12am Planet Tyler:

O this that weirdo song about cannibalism. Nice after-trump pick

10:12am Planet Tyler:

O the cannibalism isnt over yet!

10:12am Mark S:

Let's debate about what Thurston is eating again!

🚽

10:12am -Ken:

cory, they dont know shit

10:13am ultradamno:

Screamin' Jay's Feast of the Mau-Mau?

10:13am Morphe:

Now I am getting paranoid - first name on my BC/SS# in amerikkka is TIMOTHY - I think Ken is following me rather than Vive-Versa.. TMI
Morphe

10:13am freste:

The excellent gif w/Heroes is from the excellent "El Sonidito" - a fine tune for a 1-fingered keyboard player, recommended.

10:13am cory:

neither do i

10:13am BronwynB:

i love timothy. the first few times i listened to it i wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics and i thought it was just a fun song. i thought it was kinda mysterious, like what happened to timothy? was it about a gang fight or something? i wasn't listening hard enough to hear the cannibalism references. then i was reading an article about the creepiest songs of the 70s and there it was. what, timothy? how is my fun little song creepy? then i listened again, more carefully this time. wowee

🚽

10:15am Webhamster Henry:

"Timothy" has an interesting history !

10:15am Jack:

There were some galagos (bush babies) where I used to work; I used to feed them slugs and crickets. They are incredibly fast.

10:15am pantz:

On the cannibalism tip, "Ravenous" is a fantastic creepy movie.

10:15am steveo:

I hereby request "El Sonidito".

🚽

10:15am -Ken:

@cory, there will always be people who hear without listening.

10:16am Planet Tyler:

Ok "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" is a seriously fucked up song title on many levels

10:16am (((Murakami Whywolf):

I don't want Trump to die;I want him to appear even more obviously peri-senile in public, say smearing ordure on his face during a speech, so that at least _some_ of his voters will understand what they did. He scares me, but his voters scare me more in the long term.

Sorry if this were supposed to be a D.T.-free zone...that stuff's infectious.

Has anybody done a song about the D[elirium ]T[remen]s?

10:17am Sebastian:

what is that bald guy chewing on?
Hell yeah, Screamin' Jay!

10:18am The Oscar:

Loving this cannibalism set, as well as that Sid Haig/Spider Baby gif!

10:18am F™F™ (:

Do cannibals eat vegetarians?

10:18am ultradamno:

It's funny because the result comes off closer to one of Burrough's routines (like Roosevelt After Inauguration) than a cut-up

10:18am The Oscar:

@Sebastian If I recall the movie correctly, he's eating a rabbit he caught in the yard with his bare hands. It's basically the Addams Family, but with incest and cannibalism.

10:20am pierre:

@Ken: it's pierre_allain

10:20am glenn:

timothy is a form of hay. you guys are misinterpretatin' things.

10:21am Sebastian:

merci, Oscar

10:21am βrian:

Careful you don't get Kuru.

10:21am Wild Neil:

Hey, you played my request! Thanks Ken, I finally got one right!

10:21am (Murakami Whywolf))):

During the MST3K presentation of "Monster A-Go-Go" there was an argument over "Timothy".

10:22am jkeigh:

Cannibals only eat vegetarians when they're on a diet

10:22am cory:

off to work, thanks for the great show!

10:23am βrian:

Chelsea, Michigan!

10:23am wittsend:

all this talk bout cannibalism is making me gravitate towards my vegetarian patė...

10:23am josh in the uk:

shef-feeld

10:23am Vincent Nifigance:

Chef-Field

10:24am josh in the uk:

hah!

10:24am BronwynB:

eating sounds freak me out

10:24am F™F™ (:

No, cory, don't go! Don't work. Be a real WFMU listener!

10:25am northguineahills:

Of course cannibals eat vegetarian, they're more nutritious. Vegetarian animals are better for you then carnivores, and omnivore (like bears and most humans), are the next best alternative.

10:27am pierre:

@Ken : i'll be here when the show starts, and connecting a bit before

10:27am steveo:

HEY IKE & TINA: PREGNANCY IS NORMAL TOO

10:28am Lixiviated Life:

@Ken What is it they say about biting the hand that feeds you?

10:28am (((Murakami Whywolf):

A non-Kiki "institutionalized", please. (Hers is fine, but there are so many other fine ones.)

10:32am pierre:

Ken, do you have any idea of what we are going to talk about ?

10:32am F™F™ (:

THE WASHING MACHINE SONG!! The best home appliance song there is and that ever was!

🚽

10:32am -Ken:

Pierre, I am not sure but it will be contest to see who is smarter, a batch of homeschooled children, or a Frenchman.

🚽

10:33am -Ken:

@f0f0, is this song about a Washing Machine?

10:33am Lewis:

now we need clicky stars for song and gif combos...

🚽

10:33am -Ken:

Is that what a Schleuder is?

10:34am glenn:

my money's on the frenchman, even if he was homeschooled as well.

10:34am steveo:

i believe Schleuder is slingshot.

10:34am F™F™ (:

Ken,

Hold on..Let me check my notes from the German course I made in '98...

🚽

10:34am AnAnonymousParty:

Sounds like the song just went through the ringer.

10:34am Sebastian:

a schleuder is a dryer

10:35am (Murakami Whywolf))):

The family in "Bob's Burgers" were originally supposed to be cannibals—fortunately, Evil Corporate Meddling stepped in.

(Mr Spock was supposed to be a hot-tempered guy with a tail who never ate but absorbed energy through a metal plate in his stomach; Majel Barrett was supposed to play an extremely important character, requiring that she act competently…thanks, Evil Corporate Meddling.)

10:35am steveo:

oh or "centrifuge" yeah thanks Sebatstian

10:35am βrian:

Homeschooled? Ça n'existe pas !

10:35am pierre:

Hahahahahahah ok, i'm scared.

10:36am Sebastian:

slingshot is correct too, just not in this context

10:36am pierre:

but excited

10:37am F™F™ (:

Ken,

According to my notes 'Waschmaschine' means washing machine.

Wanna know how it is pronounced? I have the Home Appliances pronunciation guides and notes with me.

🚽

10:38am -Ken:

@AnAnonymousParty, yes, the record was pressed like that.. recordings from behind the iron curtain and all that..

10:39am Marc Francis:

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
What the hell is going on in that cop / keg / bat gif?

10:40am Lewis:

@Marc F - the club bounces back and smacks him square in the noggin...

10:40am βrian:

Sexy?

10:40am Stevel:

Can't wait for the bleeps here.

10:40am Sam:

What's going on is that clown is trying to pull some booshit

10:41am Sebastian:

oh hey, Ken I found a mistake in the playlist!
That Rosa Extra song is called Was Mir Deine Schleuder Ist Dir Meine Waschmaschine. This way it makes no sense whatsoever!!!

10:41am Roberto:

My wife got amnio during both pregnancies -- because we didn't want a baby that looked like that!

10:41am Stevel:

Nice!

10:42am MD:

Good Morning all you Non-Formists...I mean Freeformists!!!

10:42am Stevel:

Roberto: I also do not want a baby that looks like that.

10:42am F™F™ (:

Now that Trump challenged Tillerson to take an IQ test to see who is more intelligent between them, wouldn't be more interesting if Andy participates as well in the IQ battle? (i.e. Andy vs homeschool children vs Frenchman)

10:43am ChrisB.:

I could watch guy w/bat vs. keg all day.

10:43am Listener142985:

Big Blood--is good.

10:43am Morgan:

I love this big blood

10:43am bobdoesthings:

<3 big blood <3 silver apples <3 amazing

10:44am Roberto:

Wow, Big Blood with 40 faves!

10:44am glenn:

that's like a rock challenging a tree to an i.q. test. they should just have a trump / tillerson special jeopardy week.

10:45am Sam:

Is that Andre Fertilized-Eggassiz?

10:45am karen eliot:

hello all.
I don’t think Mensa will take either of them.

10:45am steveo:

"what to me is your dryer is to you my washingmachine"?

10:45am rsj:

I am very hungry this AM, ken you should run a GIF feed for weightloss!

10:45am Aaron Working In Newark:

MAn, I forgot about this song.. But I was thinking Silver Apples. thanks Ken for the reminder.

10:45am bobdoesthings:

also.. might be best gif ever. fidget iguana with a hat?!?! whaaaaaaaat? stop!

🚽

10:46am -Ken:

It's great to see all those boomboxes and hearts next to your names - thank you all for your donations!

10:46am Vincent Nifigance:

He has a yuge IQ, and a Purple Heart too.

10:48am melinda:

You're most welcome Ken!

10:48am Listening Out There:

Looking through the GIFs, and I'm still eating my breakfast...but now I'm not so hungry....

10:48am rsj:

oh man, looks like we've got no chance against that iguana for mascot! damn!

10:49am melinda:

For some reason lower case big blood reads as pig blood to me.

10:49am Tofu Kills People:

Sex Pistols Bodies -- Pro-life or gross, shock value? Great song, for sure.

10:49am steveo:

Thank you, Ken, for WFMU. Are you able to report on the status of the "2000 new boomboxes" goal?

10:50am melinda:

MCS, yes!

10:52am Sam:

I like how the cop gets his night stick ready, but then the guy does it to himself

10:53am Sebastian:

will there be any way to hurt Andy financially during the ongoing fundraiser?

10:53am Earthling:

hey ken, could you list that ligeti piece?

10:54am Sam:

Sebastian - you could invent a better fart boardgame and put him out of business

10:55am Cheri Pi:

Bon chance Pierre!

10:55am ?:

… bitte sag noch mal waschmaschine …

10:55am Vincent Nifigance:

This Ligeti piece goes great with the Iguana.

10:55am Rob (Jerzcity):

how's the karaoke signup go? Are there songs that are taken, or will everyone possibly sing "These Eyes," one after another?

10:56am Sebastian:

yeah, of course I could, but the hurting is only fun if it also benefits WFMU

10:56am holland oats:

awww shelley

10:56am Sebastian:

uh, I like this one

10:56am steveo:

inspired mix!

10:57am Sem Chumbo:

Harry the genius songwriter.

10:57am BronwynB:

at first i thought that was ken breaking in to say "good"

10:57am steveo:

uh, inspired segue!

10:57am pierre:

@Cheri Pi : Merci, i'm going to need it !

10:57am kimzilla:

This "He Needs Me" mix is fantastic.

10:58am Ken From Hyde Park:

Is there billboard money left over to rent a mobile billboard truck to toodle about mid-town to alert potential listeners about the 91.9 frequency?

10:58am Morgan:

This is great! I love this soundtrack too

11:00am The Oscar:

For reasons lost to time, my family had a New Years Day tradition of watching the Popeye movie. I need to pick up this reissue-- hearing all these cuts on FMU has been so nice.

11:00am (Murakami Whywolf))):

O.K., he needs you…but is he large?

(Implicit "Popeye" request.)

11:00am glenn:

why do harry and shelley remind me of the handsome family?

🚽

11:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

...or maybe rent ad space on some city buses?

11:01am zopa:

perfect gif choice, ken

11:01am ultradamno:

Of all the movies that have seemed entirely at odds in tone and content with their ad campaigns...this is up there.

11:01am steveo:

i wish there was a video for this...

11:01am F™F™ (:

This song is from the deluxe edition of Popeye's soundtrack. Yes! Deluxe edition!! Christ on a bike! I thought that privilege was reserved to the albums of big transcendental musical geniuses such as Beethoven, Brahms, Beatles...but Popeye's?!

11:04am Morgan:

This had to be better than working with Stanley Kubrick

11:04am The Oscar:

The amount of talent and effort that went into that movie has always blown my mind: Nilsson (with Van Dyke Parks arranging) and Altman (with Robert Evans producing and a script by Jules Feiffer, though who knows how much script Altman ever used). Tough to imagine that on a cartoon adaptation these days.

11:04am (((Murakami Whywolf):

The movie bombed because it was a good version of the original strips, not the Fleischer (or especially) the made-for-TV cartoons.

11:05am Earthling:

thanks ken!

11:05am steveo:

oh here's a pic of them in the studio together pbs.twimg.com...

11:06am Vincent Nifigance:

Wow, thanks @steveo

11:07am Earthling:

Altman popey movie? I have to see this

11:07am steveo:

Thanks @tatjanasl who tweeted it in April! twitter.com...

11:08am Newt Klebold Koresh:

Hi Ken, random thought: would you consider compiling your weekly episode recaps of Scorsese's "Vinyl" onto a CD for swag sometime in the future? They always cracked me up

🚽

11:08am -Ken:

awww what a sweet picture! Thank you steveo!

11:09am Sem Chumbo:

@earthling: you'll love the popey flute music, I hope!

11:09am Asheville Jon:

can i make a request for Dr. Bootygrabber? it's been too long...

11:09am Crumblebum:

Funny, I always have mental gifs of Shelly Duvall popping up in my head...now there's one on my computer!

11:11am Roberto:

YAS Frogs!

11:11am wittsend:

happy 11 11 on october 11!

11:12am BronwynB:

funny to finally hear where that beck sample "that was a good drum break" from where it's at came from

11:13am Asheville Jon:

sweet! thanks Ken!

11:13am steveo:

@bronwynb silly me I was like who is this sampling beck? :/

11:14am steveo:

cheese!

11:14am Sebastian:

seems to me this guy might not be a doctor at all!

11:14am The Oscar:

@steveo @BronwynB I still love that there was a massive hit single in the '90s which sampled the Frogs and namechecked Gary Wilson.

11:15am F™F™ (:

My first name is Grabber, my middle name is Booty, my second name is Harvey, and my last name is Weinstein.

11:15am Rob (Jerzcity):

Ha! I always though it sounded like Beck's voice so never thought it was a sample

11:16am Roberto:

Today on the subway an older pudgy Asian male boarded the train and announced "my name is Harvey Weinstein"

🚽

11:16am AnAnonymousParty:

Am I the only one who imagines the other side of this conversation may not be what you'd expect?

11:17am Earthling:

Does Harvey have a doctorate?

11:17am bobdoesthings:

he's so nonchalant about bootygrabbing

🚽

11:17am Webhamster Henry:

Dr. Feline Bootygabber, R.I.P.!

11:17am The Oscar:

@Roberto That's one way to get a seat to yourself, I guess!

11:18am melinda:

Is Pubah a pubic poo-bah? Interesting spelling.

11:19am Roberto:

He went on to discuss evolution and the Andromeda Galaxy.

11:19am BronwynB:

@theoscar: yeah i love the gary wilson reference

@rob: same actually, i was surprised

11:19am BronwynB:

i wonder what the job market is like with a phd in bootygrabbing

11:20am Jeff:

As I heard this coming out of the radio, I was thinking "Oh, Harvey Weinstein has cast a pall on Dr Bootygrabber, hasn't he?"

Then I saw the playlist title - no pussyfooting there.

11:20am melinda:

Beaker!

11:20am BronwynB:

i really love all the love jesus christ superstar (in any version) gets on fmu

11:20am Lixiviated Life:

Kermit H Frog! (on a bike)

11:20am melinda:

@Bronwyn me too

11:21am pantz:

Who was Judas in this interpretation? Animal?

11:21am kimzilla:

Yes! I need this whole album in my life.

11:21am holland oats:

dylan is great on this

11:21am F™F™ (:

Roberto,

There is no better way to grab people attention into the pressing issues concerning the Andromeda galaxy.

11:22am zopa:

Gonzo?

11:22am pantz:

Ah, it's Gonzo, of course.

11:22am Lixiviated Life:

Gonzo is Judas

11:22am pantz:

Chicken f*&ker

11:22am rbx:

woww muppet christ superstar

🚽

11:22am Webhamster Henry:

This track is a lot more Muppety than other ones that are more often played.

11:22am steveo:

seeing the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye is on my bucket list

11:23am steveo:

can't believe how much muppetchrist rocks

11:24am F™F™ (:

I once saw some guy's naked eyes. I felt "violated".

11:24am Rob (Jerzcity):

Wokka wokka walk not in darkness

11:25am Roberto:

It's getting closer all the time, you know. When we can see it with our naked eyes from Times Square we'll know we're in trouble.

🚽

11:25am Webhamster Henry:

Hey you can follow this with Sweetness' Do The Lollipop!

11:26am steveo:

some of the best art is inspired by religion

11:27am Sam:

Some of the best art is co-opted by religion

11:27am steveo:

@roberto, coincidentally, I'm heading over to Times Square after this to hang out with Max Neuhaus... (please don't go there and murder me, everybody)

11:27am bobdoesthings:

in the muppet world but not of it.

11:28am Okasa:

On a sad note, the original Pontius Pilate, Barry Dennen, just died about 2 weeks ago.

11:28am steveo:

True, Sam.

11:29am Sam:

And in the past the great artists were basically forced to focus on religion in order to make a living, whether it was painters like Michaelangelo or composers like Bach.

11:29am glenn:

since most of the greatest artists were paid by the church [i'm talking to you, luca signorelli], that kinda goes without saying.

11:29am pierre:

@Ken : I've added WFMU at my contacts

11:29am pierre:

*skype contact

11:30am steveo:

ken, can pierre do the noon ID?

🚽

11:31am -Ken:

Thanks so much to all of you Swag for Life pledgers with your boomboxes blazing! You're keeping WFMU alive whether you know it or not.

11:31am melinda:

What's the story behind The Clouds?

11:31am Lewis:

if only Magritte had had gifs...

11:31am steveo:

yes, that gif is 3d if you look at it cross-eyed

🚽

11:32am -Ken:

Melinda - Irwin produced The Clouds - bunch of schoolkids from Gerogia I believe..

11:33am bobdoesthings:

<3 kropotkins!

11:33am melinda:

Thanks Ken. I like them.

11:34am pantz:

That fife sounds a lot like the one from Gangs of New York.

11:34am Stevel:

WFMU: Alive, if you know it or not! Billboard #3.

11:34am F™F™ (:

I feel like I'm watching "the making of" the great historical Seven Seconds Delay Episode where pierre calls in.

I can even picture pierre adding WFMU to his Skype contacts and then running the library to study as many subjects as possible to be ready for the show.

11:35am Sebastian:

this is funky, and I mean the good funky

11:36am steveo:

yeah i liked that; great set

11:36am steveo:

now it gets floydy

11:36am zopa:

wow krimson and floyd all in one show!

11:36am pierre:

@F™F™ (: i'll be training like I always do, with a glass of beer, it's gonna be midnight when this is going to start :)

11:36am F™F™ (:

I propose to continue with the great Seven Seconds Delay tradition of having the guest say something very FCC UN-friendly in his native language at the end of the show.

11:37am Earthling:

@pantz was thinking the same. that's great stuff, fife and drum - think it was otha turner in gangs

11:39am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth and listeners. I am enjoying the chewing portion of the playlist.

11:39am steveo:

it's amazing, the number of inspiring sets around here that start off with György Ligeti

🚽

11:40am -Ken:

11:52am Sebastian:

11:52am F™F™ (:

Make some French noise, pierre.

11:52am Okasa:

Hi Ken, a quick note to say hello, Miles my youngest son and I visited the station was it 3 years ago? You kindly gave us the grand tour, and I bought a WFMU t Shirt. We were from Melbourne Australia where I worked as a programmer and music coordinator at Community station 3CR. Currently I'm tuning in from palatial surroundings in Phuket in Thailand. Love your work.
