If I should i.d. today, listen for the extra rasp an A.C.E. inhibitor blood pressure drug is adding to my voice, making me sound _even__more_ like some hep muggles addict. {Lily Tomlin}/{Jane Wagner} had a joke about being on more and more drugs that were less and less fun….

Good morning, Ken, Murakami!
It is a snowy day.. BRRRRRR. Lots of snow (<1 inch). BRRRRR...Lots of it (<1 inch). BRRRR.. The London. She is closed. BRRRRR!
That's a great idea, Murakami! People, do the legal ID while high on drugs! And we (i.e. Ken) will try to guess which drug are you on. Legal IDs on illegal!
Those ACE inhibitors are murder on the throat from my experience & Daddy's. The direct anti-angiotensin drugs like losartan don't have that defect, but cost more and may not be insurance-reimbursed.
You can be off an ACE inhibitor for several days before your throat returns to normal. I'm told it can even be weeks.
When you ape the birds, you have your hands full and end up falling. Looking at it close up, you might want to spring into action, but brush off the notion that you'll just dance into your day, leaping out of your bath. You think you've got problems? Just stick to your plan.
@Stanley Hi Stanley, and yes we are. I'm a bit out into the country and the road's aren't clear. Been here a couple of days and it might be a day or two before I can safely get into town again. Down to my last bottle of red wine...

Damn good start to a show. I am going to have to find a record by this band. Excellent. Good morning ALL!
Good morning Ken. Can't recall hearing this Mamuthones before. Good stuff. Getting a really good signal on 91.9 lately in Hell's Kitchen. Probably saves $10 a day in bandwidth or something. Hey do you know any good "What Fool am I" covers? I had that stuck in my head all morning. People like it when you bike by on 8th Avenue belting it out in your best Barry Gibb voice. (Sorry, can't do Babs.)
@geoff - 1987-2002. Man did we get snowed in, complete with power cuts, phones down etc. Soon as the ploughs made it through we used to head for friends in Glasgow until the electric was restored.
@stanley I hear ya. We've just moved here so the mad snow's a novelty at this stage. Give me a shout if you're ever back out this way and drop in for a brew.
Best things hailing from Chile: Matias Aguayo, Camila Vallejo, 31 Minutos, and of course, Ignacio Domeyko (without him there would no be dinosaur named Domeykosaurus ).
Good morning Ken, great show. Love how Matias says ‘She makes me nervous followed by Brrrrr’ with the rolled R! Perfect mashup for snow kids Brrrr.

Ok I’m digging “Grey Park” for the second day in a row, but for the life of me I can’t find them on the ‘net. If anyone knows how I can find their music please let me know
Check out the music of Krîa from Iceland. Not a lot of info about her on the web except the abominable FB @kr1amusic. She might have a soundcloud under Icelandic Airwaves. She played last year. Cheers!
@Rob - I am not Kenzo. Kenzo does a show on the drummer stream. Just wanted to clear that up.

Well versed there f0 f0 :( but you forgot the best minimalist band Electrodomesticos, the irresistible poppy UPA! and one of my favorite hip-hop bans of all time Makiza (Anita Tijoux's first band).
The Mamuthones and Issohadores are typical masks of the Mamoiada carnival in Sardinia . The two figures stand out for their clothes and for the way they move around in the procession: the Mamuthones proceed wearily and silently while the Issohadores dress colorfully and give movement to the procession.
[...]the name results composed from the roots mam and muth plus the suffix ones. The first would mean "water", the second, from the Greek muthéomai , is going to "call" and the ones group corresponding to the Indo-European suffix on and to the ethnic suffix Basque on , as well as to the Greek óntes ( or ontes Polyb. = I live) from eimí = being, has the clear and known value of "men" for which the Mamuthones they would be the "men invoking the rain".
The absolute best would be to be a female bonobo. Their society is matriarchal so the women have most of the power, and they're constantly getting it on with other females, they're pretty much all bisexual. Pretty much any time a conflict comes up they resolve it by having sex. Fascinating stuff.
OH MY GOD! It is time!! 201-536-9368: WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope Note that the M is before the F in Rockland County and New York City at 91.9fm and online at wfmu dot org all hail our fair republic of east banana now back to wfmus wednesday morning programme already in progress
Cool! My name Fofo has similar origins as the Mamuthones. The first F is from Greek origin. The following O is from Basque origin. The second F is Indo-european and, last but not least, the second O is latin.
This kind of music makes me think of eating sauerkraut right out of the container in a tiny kitchen where everything is in black and white and I have a splitting headache.
sadly, the horns are often removed and the dj returned back to the wild, but then they're just seen swimming around in circles and playing the same song over and over. It's heartbreaking.

Okasa,
Yes, it was a privilege. The aforementioned dwarf is the reason why I'm two degrees of separation to John Lennon. By the way, if anyone pledges to the marathon, as with the Fofo tradition, I'll license my friendship so you can say you are three degrees of separation to a deceased artist, and two deceased Nobel Prize winners.
Kenneth, I know the frequency but "i'm sad to say - I must be on me way -so buy me beer [no whiskey]extra beer] though I'm not goin' far away...." Thanks for spinning
Nothing personal though. In Ken's old archives there's one show where he played Hans Reichel. The file is corrupted somehow and when the Hans Reichel track comes up it starts an eternal loop on it. I didn't realise and I listened to the stupid song for hours and hours. And that's why I hate Hans Reichel.
The last lines of "Wie man sich bettet" usually get translated as "If someone is doing the stepping, it's me, and if someone's getting stepped on, it's you."
Verse 1]
Drive it on up and let's cruise a while
Leave your troubles far behind
You can hedge your bet on a clean Corvette
To get you there right on time
Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive
Baby, the green lights are on
It's like you're running your brain on some high octane
Every time she reaches fully blown
[Chorus]
Won't you take that ride on heavy metal?
It's the only way that you can travel down that road
Satisfied on heavy metal
Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes
Heavy metal

It looks the BBQ song has been vandalised by the We Know Who! We shall revenge!
Verse 2]
My oh my, how this lady can fly
Once she starts rollin' beneath you
You know you just can't lose, the way she moves
You wait for her to finally release you
It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise
You've got a touch of redline fever
'Cause there is just one cure that we know for sure
You just become a heavy metal believer

SO good to hear those meat puppies on The Program Before--or anytime
And if anyone is thinking about watching the film "Brazil", make sure to see the European cut. It is way darker and prescient than the sanitized version we got here in the states.
[Chorus]
Won't you take that ride on heavy metal?
It's the only way that you can travel down that road
Satisfied on heavy metal
Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes
One of my weirdest record store experiences was the time a soldier, in full fatigues, came in, said he had to ship out in half an hour, but he really needed a copy of the Lord Sitar album, AND WE HAD IT.
Philadelphia is the rudest city in North America. When I came here to live 30 years ago I was a wide-eyed, happy-go-lucky guy with a positive demeanor and go-get attitude. Thru the years, this place transformed into a veritable asshole. It was the only way to make it through each day. Now I am climbing back to a sort of normal plateau but it's been a struggle. Long story long; DON'T COME TO PHILADELPHIA. Brooklyn or the Bronx are better.
My weirdest record shop experience was when a unknown man run into the shop and desperately asked me for his check. I thought this guy is nuts!. Thing is he was getting his invoice paid in an office in the top floor of a tall building next to us. Someone opened the office's window and his checked flyed away onto our roof.
