Good morning Acapulco!

Wed. 1/30/08 9:04am From: JJZ

A fine sedate start this morning.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:08am From: Ken

Morning everybody!

Wed. 1/30/08 9:09am From: Doug

How's your ear?

Wed. 1/30/08 9:10am From: John from Oslo

Ach, ze ist ze beautiful smooth and rinkle free botox beats in ze morning. Top of the morning to ya Ken!

Wed. 1/30/08 9:10am From: Stephanie Monseu

a fine drizzly morning it is, in my corner of the world anyway.
I am curious as to whether my Secret Santa pal ever received his gift. Ever hear back from the bicycle guy about his rain-proof socks? (waaaay cooler than they sound)

Wed. 1/30/08 9:11am From: Ken

The ear crystal diagnosis is out the window. The cuirrent theory is something called LPR Reflux. Quite a Cath-22 I'm in now, coffee makes it much much worse. Time to take up a good oxycontin habit..

Wed. 1/30/08 9:14am From: JJZ

"The symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux can consist of a dry cough, chronic throat clearing and a sensation of something being stuck in the throat." I think the guy that sits in my area at work may have something like that, he's constantly making that phlegmy horky noise.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:23am From: Doug

"Opera Babes?"

That sounds googleworthy.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:25am From: Vivian

Sounds like multiple Wings

Wed. 1/30/08 9:26am From: ha ha

Wing Sings For Yo Mama

I wish

Wed. 1/30/08 9:26am From: fighttheJCityWay

Morning Ken - can you take a request? need some Flipper this am with the HA HA HA HO HO HO HE HE HE song - this song actually cures LPR Reflux and makes us smile like its a snow day (even if it's 88 degress outside in January)

drink decaf green tea with sugar - gets you over you caffeinated needs

Wed. 1/30/08 9:26am From: Parq

Oh, thank the Lord, for a moment, I thought you were playing a straight version of "Fortuna". I used to love that piece, but the movie trailers have totally killed it for me. Ken, you sound like you're striking out in a new direction today. Not until Wing did I detect the classic Freedman touch.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:26am From: Doug

OK, I disapprove of Opera Babes but strongly approve of Wing.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:27am From: lastweeksnews

whats the deal with sweden - other than it rocks?

Wed. 1/30/08 9:29am From: Dickdong (UK)

This is the sort of stuff dogs like to sing along to.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:29am From: Negator

Ahhh, WIng! Praise Jeebus. Glory be to Jeebus! I'm flying.......floating......swirling down....

Wed. 1/30/08 9:30am From: Negator

WIng is the wind of Jeebus

Wed. 1/30/08 9:31am From: Parq

Dick, for the record, my two dogs are completely unruffled.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:31am From: Doug

Can we someday hear the whole timestretched tAtU song please?

Wed. 1/30/08 9:39am From: Ken

Doug - You can download the streched version of tATu's How Soon is Now off the WFMU Blog: blog.wfmu.org and do a search for tatu or how soon is now.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:41am From: Doug

Sweet!

Wed. 1/30/08 9:50am From: Negator

Hit us with more of that train whistle, Ken. Workin with wierd disco.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:55am From: Gregory

Ken, I know you're disappointed by Giuliani's results, but keep in mind, as he said in his speech last night, "We were always upbeat" AND "We ran a campaign of ideas" (or, as I think he meant to say, "idea"). We can all take solace in that.

Wed. 1/30/08 9:55am From: Randy in NC

Maybe September has ended?

Wed. 1/30/08 9:57am From: Listener Dave from NH

"9" and "11" are two discrete numbers, so unless you're saying all integers (prime or otherwise) are a single idea, he really did run a campaign of ideas.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:03am From: jonathan

hell yes! goebbel reeves!

Wed. 1/30/08 10:05am From: Ken

Wow, that Goebbel Reeves track revealks where Curly Joe from The Three Stooges came up with his shtick!

Wed. 1/30/08 10:05am From: Negator

I think I know the girl goebbel reeves was talking about.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:06am From: Steve

MORE YODELING PLEASE !!!!

Wed. 1/30/08 10:07am From: Parq

Fave quote of his campaign, from early Jan after getting creamed in Iowa (Get it? Iowa, corn, "creamed" -- I fracture myself), veering into outright self parody: "None of this worries me; September 11, there were times when I was worried."

Wed. 1/30/08 10:07am From: ?

What about Alec Templeton? Never heard him on WFMU. Are you familiar with him Ken?

Wed. 1/30/08 10:07am From: Ken

Just keep it in your pants Negator. That's all I ask.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:08am From: helpful

If you like the Goebbel you should definitely checkout the "American Yodeling" CD on Trikont. Check fmu archives, bound to be some.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:11am From: cissy davis

Wed. 1/30/08 10:14am From: Ken

Put a lid on it, "Cheri." You're guilty of crimes against punctuation.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:15am From: Negator

Yeah, I'll keep it in pants...Hot Pants...Just like James Brown said! Was he talking to me?

Wed. 1/30/08 10:17am From: fishmonkeystew

Wed. 1/30/08 10:28am From: Listener Dave

Just got here. What'd I miss?

Wed. 1/30/08 10:30am From: Doug

The whistle go "WOO WOO!"

It's just for decoration.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:30am From: Listener Dave from NH

That proves it - train whistle is the new cowbell.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:30am From: nh_dave

The running with the devil vocal mix makes me realize that dave was a great mixture of horrible and beautiful (at least vocally). Love it!

Wed. 1/30/08 10:30am From: John from Oslo

You whistleblower you

Wed. 1/30/08 10:34am From: Ken

So who sent me the train whistle?! All hail to you, whoever you are!

Wed. 1/30/08 10:38am From: Richard

Wed. 1/30/08 10:39am From: John from Oslo

Wed. 1/30/08 10:40am From: Ken

Wed. 1/30/08 10:41am From: richard

Wed. 1/30/08 10:42am From: punkymunky

Wed. 1/30/08 10:48am From: Cheery Jerry

I'm certain I left it somewhere

Wed. 1/30/08 10:54am From: Ghengis J.

Wed. 1/30/08 10:59am From: nEGATOR

How bout some Mexican Institute of Sound?

Wed. 1/30/08 11:01am From: Listener Dave

ZATUMBA!!!!!!!

Wed. 1/30/08 11:02am From: nobody's munkey

more jules bashing please, i can't get enough! Although I lovethe idea of a walking add for birth control running for president from the GOP, it''s as close as those pigs get to poetic!

Wed. 1/30/08 11:02am From: giselle

I love that Rapped youth song.. who is Zatumba? What is going on? I must have missed the introduction of Zatumba.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:05am From: -max-

Zatumba rules!

Wed. 1/30/08 11:07am From: Negator

Great video for the OOIO song "UMO". Check YouTube..

Wed. 1/30/08 11:08am From: Doug

Zatumba seems to be some sort of deity that watches over Ken's show.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:09am From: Ken

That's an excellent question, Giselle. Nobody knows who Zatumba is. But I have five tracks by him, making Saranic noises and drumming on a table. I think he may really be Fabio, but I have no definitive proof yet. But the two of them have never been seen together in the same room.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:09am From: Dickdong (UK)

Bongo Joe! Thanks Ken.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:10am From: giselle

re: Zatumba ..is he like some African tribal god?

Wed. 1/30/08 11:11am From: Doug

That's my impression anyway. Sort of like Jon Frum maybe.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:11am From: me zatumba

Zatumba is a WFMU DJ

Wed. 1/30/08 11:13am From: Doug

So if we can figure out which FMU DJ is ALSO an African tribal god we'll know the answer!

Wed. 1/30/08 11:15am From: me zatumba

a google search will reveal all - don't forget the " " though or you'll get an African tribal god.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:17am From: Ghengis J.

is "Zatumba"more or less famous than "Andy Breckman"?

Wed. 1/30/08 11:17am From: Ken

I'm afraid you're being misled by an ersatz Zatumba.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:17am From: Negator

Was that Thurl Ravenscroft? Thurl must have has big testicles. You know? Sort of implied...

Wed. 1/30/08 11:17am From: giselle

Zatumba: Are These The Sounds Of Possession? ($4) Deep within the darkest ... Listen to the drum driven sounds of Zatumba as he chants, wails, and screams. ...

Wed. 1/30/08 11:19am From: jaspar

is that bottle song on the download page? i need that song!

Wed. 1/30/08 11:19am From: Ken

That's it, Giselle. Worth every penny.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:19am From: me zatumba

Ersatz Zatumba is actually Zatumba's aunt.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:20am From: Ken

Yes, Thurl Ravenscroft is on the FMU blog: blog.wfmu.org

Wed. 1/30/08 11:23am From: jaspar

thanks for a great show

Wed. 1/30/08 11:25am From: me zatumba

seriously though, zatumba... don't look beyond the wfmu dj list...

Wed. 1/30/08 11:27am From: Negator

Amazing mix, Ken. Bravo!

Wed. 1/30/08 11:29am From: joe nathan

PLay it right, play it proud!

Wed. 1/30/08 11:47am From: Sean Daily

Tom Waits is God. Either that, or he has the Big Guy on speed dial.

Wed. 1/30/08 11:47am From: davidleeroth

Wed. 1/30/08 11:48am From: fishmonkeystew

Wed. 1/30/08 11:57am From: dei xhrist

one of the many things I think of when I think of Tom Waits is Cloris Leachman in Young Frankenstein, screaming HE VASS MY BOYFREND! I should be so lucky.
