Morning all! I too want a goat very badly. Sam, who did that again? Was it Rolf Harris? I used to have it on a CD but it was destroyed in the hurricane.
@ken: If Youtube is to be believed, German Mr. Ed is by "Mr. Ralf und Mr. Chris."

Sam:
I don't remember, I just remember it goes Ein pferd ist ein pferd and it sounds all scary.
7:37am
Sam:
That figures God would send a hurricane to destroy it. It was in my head this morning for some reason, the hurricane probably dispersed it into the atmosphere and now it's everywhere and nowhere, it's a part of all of our brains at the cellular level.

Guten tag, Kens, Sam, Losermom, Walt, Murakami and Walt!
If you can bear that pink-o Zuckerberg, then shell out, take your lumps like an eager beaver, and listen to his lyin'. But you may open the door to a licking, which can spiral into sessions of close inspection of your goods.
Yes, definitely Aaron in Minneapolis IDing! In fact I want Aaron to give the actual call signs of the xltrs. I know the one in Rockland (New City IIRC) is W220EE; the one in NYC must bd W220 something. Look up the studio-xmtr links too, anything to give Aaron more content. Power and height above average terrain figures, polarization.

Sam:
Yes, we want transmitter elevations, that would be wonderful.
Ooh very nice requests today everybody! And Aaron, I only know the real call letters of the NYC 91.9fm one, which is W220EJ but the rockland county one is different, and its not EE I dont think
Radio-locator.com actually lists WFMU's New City translator as W220EG, and apparently hasn't been updated to include the 91.9 translator in New York City, which must be W220 followed by 2 letters later in lexical order than EG. Well, Aaron, you can at least say "W220EG in New City, and on 91.9 in New York City". Maybe announce the stream from wfmu.org is available in AAC, MP3, and .asx.
-Ken, you should ask Radio-Locator to include the NYC xltr.
I swear for the goat gods the theme song was in German the first time I heard in the video. Perhaps the singer was embarrassed by his pronunciation and now he refuses to sing in German? Just a rational thought.

Ramon vs Ramon:
I put in my requests during the Clay show. I am not too fast when your show starts: DOA, GI, Nixon's Head, Reagan's Youth, Minor Threat, TSOL, Dr. Bombay (NJ).
@queems first heard shittyflute on a sunday afternoon show on my way back from the catskills; wife and i heard "take me on" and were like wtf and kept listening and eventually were losing our shit, this was last memorial day i think

Fashion Tashjian:
I was told that Ken had one of the most fun shows on this station. Was I misled?
Woah. Just looked at the Juliette Lewis thingy of Fun. Why is it a can't stand Juliette Lewis? Am I insane for liking the Sex Pistols version so much better??
9:35am
David in London:
Station Manager Ken, please can we have The Byrds’ Tribal Gathering as the ur-source of the No Fun riff?
I stopped using Facebook in 2008 and never looked back. I hope the Zuck and napster ahole all disappear into a black hole. Useless, brain washing crap FB is. Now FaceGoat sounds enticing enough for my pet goat Mamabelle to join. She and I are legally married in Alabama.
@Ramon vs Ramon-Yes, a Polish 5 is an American 7! and the FOOD is SO GOOD! The women dress so well there also.

Chi Bill:
That was so FUN, Ken!!! Can't believe I can't listen and read comments more 'cause I'm swamped at work. Wish I could hear That Pink Floyd but lost stream and now must go on a run. Peace and love.
OK, I think I might have a lead on a place that shows Eurovision in Minneapolis. Reddit took me to someone who was showing it last year at the Radisson Red bar where they worked. I contacted them and we'll see if they are doing it again this year.
We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones! We want Kelly Jones!
Aaron, do you have a one hour show you can send me for tonight's 6-7pm hour?
10:44am
Sam:
You should use the seed word randomization concept on real people, stop people on the street, give them a seed word, see what that inspires them to say back, then take one of those words and give it to someone else. Shows where you stand outside and talk to people walking by are always funny.
@Melinda-I went gluten and dairy free on the advice of a naturopath. For the first time in 15 years or so I can poop normally 6 out of 7 days a week now. It used to be a special, memorable warm memory (forgive the disgusting pun!). Maybe THAT could help you? Lactose is the issue maybe? OR roundup on wheat if not celiac disease?
"Umo" by OOIOO https://vimeo.com/35053382 [adopted as theme song for https://nyicff.org/ ] WAS NOT A COMPLETE RIP-OFF of Roberto de Simone's arieta Secondo Coro Delle Lavandaie II -- No, Ken, it turns out this was "inspired by" the song "Japanese Funk Machine" by Swiss band Unknownmix from their album Loops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd2yg8y2vNU
@Neil I went gluten and dairy free and it didn't help. Also a lot of other diet experimentation.

How about getting a Breckmann sub, but not another 'FMU D'J. Get one of the listeners. Pick a subject. Argue about or whatever. You can do a call in show about music: for example, play songs from the eighties and ask the question "is it new wave?" From the nineties, is it grunge? Vinyl, cd or MP3, what's better? How to guard yourself from a nuclear war with Russia? Post pics of people and ask callers to opine "mass murderer or bum?"
@queems: Used to be you couldn't do that. An actual robot would call you and complain that there was too much silence. Well, not a physical robot, disappointingly. It only exists on the phone. Ken, does this still exist?

I vote for a 7SD rerun. There are tons of good material.
The 7SD sub show could be where you crank call a product help line and make believe you're having trouble with an Instant Pot or something.
Or find a Nardwuar episode to play.
FMFM (: ~ i'd be willing to hear auditions. could be very amusing.

Let's discuss all things pancreas as suggested. I haven't had a functioning pancreas since age 13. I imagine it shrunk and dried like umbilical chords when they get cut off. I'd like to meet it someday and curse the hell out of it. Pancreas are no fun. Mamabelle likes liver.
I do not, LL. What I mean is our various voting strategies for/against a particular candidate resulted in El Cheeto taking office. We (the collective) are the cause.

WFMU,
Go to the casino, sit at the roulette, and bet all the marathon money on the red. 48% of chances of doubling the money! I think it is worth the risk, don't we all agree?
I never heard the term "New Wave" applied to Billy Joel. Fascinating.
"Still, for the album’s promo videos, Joel attempted an awkward New Wave getup. His visible discomfort may have even served as an unintentional blueprint for “nerd-core.” Buffalo’s self-proclaimed “pop cult” Hussalonia covered Glass Houses in its entirety and Geen Ween has his own Billy Joel-themed project. These reverent (and often brilliant) takes on the Joel’s material affirm that the tunes have aged better than his outfits."
not to get into the political weeds here on the board, but there's the political leadership & then there's the voting public, who weren't represented in the Democratic primary vote, by design. so who's the 'we'? i'll stop now.
For thanks the Ken, show! Usual as great! Gifs, comments, Ken haters, comments, Warwick fans, loved the! Next episode till! Remember and: DAMMIT, HAPPY BE!!
