Your Global Econominc Collapse Hit Parade: Ken's show

Listener comments!

9:03am C:

I have an idea. Maybe the Treasury could have a two week Marathon to raise the cash.

9:03am JJZ:

Good morning.

9:03am Ron Badald:

Hoo Daily!
First!

9:03am R. P.:

Weu Heu! Premier commentaire!

9:04am R. P.:

Drat!

9:04am Lizardner Dave:

We're all screwed. Good morning!

9:05am Ken:

Morning all! Songs about bubbles, derivative swaps, t0bills, all welcome this AM,

9:05am annie:

good morning everyone...

9:06am C:

Chuck Brown covers all those bases with "Money"

9:06am Ken:

Also, anybody have a link to live audio from the congressional hearing this morning?

9:08am Lizardner Dave:

The Ned Beatty "Network" speech works too, doesn't it?

9:09am Ghengis Jung:

Maybe CSpan?

9:11am Ghengis Jung:

9:11am JJZ:

Fun, Fun, Fun by the Beach Boys? Oh, wait, T-bills.

9:12am Negator:

Goodbye, Wall Street! Good morning, little schoolgirl!

9:17am Negator:

We are suckers. Again.
We are suckers.
We are suckers. Go on.
We are suckers.
We are suckers.
We are suckers.

9:18am Negator:

I really feel like a rape victim, not a sucker. Fudgepecker.

9:18am R. P.:

How about the theme song for Gerald Ford's WIN (Whip Inflation Now) campaign? I remember this, but can't find it anywhere. Meredith (The Music Man) Wilson was the composer.

9:22am Lizardner Dave:

Is anyone else concerned about how all this could affect WFMU? For instance folks that have had their savings screwed by all this might have to contribute less next marathon. Not good.

9:23am jan:

A theme show that begins impressively- both audibly and visually!

9:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

Yeah...maybe it's a good time for one of Ken's state of the station addresses to talk about finances. Let's hope no one is foreclosing on the building. Also, any news on the Manhattan transmitter project? http://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN_wm.aspx lists a vaiety of CSPAN feeds.

9:27am Derek Smith:

Pink Floyd - Money.
Or is that too boringly predictable?

9:28am Joel:

C-Span 3 will have the hearing on at 2:30p

9:30am Bad Ronald:

Heavenly Bank Account

9:30am el wood:

what was that lovin spoonful ditty with the typewriter percussion?. was it called "money"?

9:30am Negator:

Raise your hand if your books are "cooked".

9:30am Mao Jones:

Dow down 4

9:31am jan:

couldn't make a more astute real estate investment than the house of WFMU purchase long ago, and now that I think of it, so was buying the radio staton from Uppsala college. Ken for secretary of the treasury- he IS fiscally responsible.

9:32am Laurie:

Hiiiiiii Ken.

9:32am Leonard Cohen:

"Everybody Knows"

9:32am Joel:

One warning. I watched yesterday's Senate hearing. It is depressing! Watching Henry Paulson, former head of Goodman Sachs telling Senators he needs $70B in a lump sum, now. I believe the legal term is "extortion".

9:33am Ghengis Jung:

"the large print giveth, and the small print taketh away"

9:35am Joel:

"Epitaph", King Crimson. "...the world is in the hand of fools"

9:36am Lizardner Dave:

It only has tangential money references, but "Ashes of American Flags" by Wilco seems appropriate. Or is that too "Dad Rock" for Ken's show?

9:36am R. P.:

That's $700B. But who's counting?

9:37am mp:

"all you need is money" - yximalloo from 198six tokyo

9:38am Ken:

Ach, is there no senate hearing audio NOW? Maybe on NPR?

9:38am Bad Ronald:

Let's Have A War

9:38am Lizardner Dave:

Speaking of crappy financial news:
http://tinyurl.com/3jm45k
"RIAA: Details Royalty Deal With Online Radio "

9:39am Ken:

Hey Bad Ronald, dont you have a song called "Bank?"

9:39am Mickey Mephistopheles:

I'm waiting for the day when the CEOs applying for financial assistance for their corporations are forced to take weekly piss tests and to be systematically humiliated at the hands of welfare caseworkers. (I'm not holding my breath.)

9:40am Joel:

Oops, But hey, it's only taxpayer money. $70B, $700B what's the difference to Paulson and his cronies? They probably don't pay much taxes anyway.

9:42am Mickey Mephistopheles:

Anyone played "Welfare for the Rich" by Chris T's old band The Nihilistics yet? (Will need a small amount of FCC cleanup, though)

9:42am Negator:

I remember listening to William Cooper's radio show on Voice of America in the early 90's and he opened his show with "Everybody Knows". I thought it was very creepy. He played the whole song. Did anyone else like his creepy-ass show. Some of the best radio I've ever heard.

9:42am Bad Ronald:

That's the "rap" Bad Ronald - We are the punk band that appeared on Belock's show...
We do have a song "We Do Heroin" supplied by the government...
but it's not as relevant.

9:43am Bad Ronald:

"Everybody Knows" - is perfect!

9:44am Chas.:

Dang--Did Leonard write this just last week?

9:44am Negator:

You could play that Woody Guthrie song, "Facists born to Lose"

9:45am Ghengis Jung:

Minutemen - Sell or be Sold

9:46am Listener David:

Bare Naked Ladies.... If I had a million dollars

9:47am annie:

9:47am Vicki:

you're loving the fall of the western world, aren't you, Ken?

9:47am Doug:

Oh, this Nancy is fantastic ...

9:47am Ken:

Yeth.

9:48am Dickdong:

Nobody Knows ....
You When You're Down and Out.
(How many times has that been done?)

9:48am GP:

Morning all
Flying Lizards - Money, it's what I want..I know its a cover but I really like their version.

9:48am R. P.:

Once I built a railroad/Made it run/Made it race against time...

9:48am Doug:

Now, who's the orchestra? Also nelson-Riddle like
...

9:49am Bad Ronald:

Take the cash (K.A.S.H.)

9:49am Doug:

Or USC marching band ...

9:51am Negator:

...then The Gambler touched my thigh....

9:51am GP:

OK, now I know FMU has the MOST complete record collection in the free world!

9:53am Brian C.:

Bubblegum? SY/Evol

9:53am marionfrenchie:

God bless the child, Billie Holiday ...

9:54am Negator:

...then somewhere in the darkness I heard The Gambler groanin'"

9:55am bzul:

If Kenny Rogers makes the cut in the choir of crisis, then the playlist purse could certainly fit Monty Python's Money Song: "I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas..."

9:56am Negator:

Ken, "is the dealin'" done?

9:56am ZippyD:

Has anyone had problems with Prozac after stopping abruptly? Since stopping a week ago I've had nausea, dizziness, fainting spells and tremors and . My doctor said the problems will eventually stop.

9:56am cribley:

If only we had given $700bil to Kenny Rogers 10 years ago, we might still be able to get some roasters ...

9:58am GP:

Cribley......"it's the wood that makes it good"

10:00am R. P.:

Oi! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxEY4gMEujQ

10:00am Richard:

Ken, this is the NPR Marketplace music - for when stocks are up!

10:00am Bad Ronald:

Come And Get It

10:01am Negator:

mUSTAFIO!

10:02am Ernest:

Tom Verlaine and the Million Dollar Bashers - Cold Irons Bound

10:03am annie:

see i thought i was the only one who was tickled pink by this melt-down

10:03am annie:

i cashed in my retirement years ago, could smell it coming..

10:04am Paulson:

Dear WFMU listeners:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a
transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had
crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion
dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most
profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my
replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may
know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the
1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.

This is matter of great urgency. We need blank check. We need the funds
as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names
of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family
lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person
who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account
numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to
<mailto:wallstreetbailout%40treasury.gov>wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for
this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with
detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the
funds.

Yours Faithfully,
Minister of Treasury Paulson

10:04am el wood:

wealth is disease, i am the cure....d. bromberg

10:05am GP:

10:05am GP:

Whoa..two Ss...bonus

10:06am Jeffersonic:

Minister Paulson, you've made me choke on my oatmeal, repeatedly...

10:06am Lizardner Dave:

If I thought the rich assholes that caused this would suffer I WOULD be enjoying it. Unfortunately they'll get the government bailout dough and those of us with 401K's, etc will get the shaft. Like always.

I wonder how many kids will have to delay or not go to college because their parents savings were vaporized.

10:06am TTT:

Headline: Congress: Cut pay of bailed-out CEOS
Subhead: Bush administration resists lawmakers' proposals to limit executive pay of companies to be rescued.
(CNNMoney)

Doin' it up like Enron!

10:07am Bad Ronald:

"Kill The Rich"

10:07am Gregory:

Perhaps it's an obvious suggestion, but "Buddy Can You Spare a Dime?". It was timely in 1932, and it is timely today.
There is a great version by Paul Motian ("On Broadway, vol. 4" Winter & Winter), but also one I think by Billie Holiday.

10:12am Ken From Hyde Park:

I've heard tell there's a song "GImme More" that's come out recently. I haven't heard it myself, though, so I can't vouch that it meets the rigorous WFMU quality standards. The singer is a female, from what I understand.

Song suggestion: To Hell With Poverty by Gang of Four

10:26am bzul:

Make mix magic:
Ginger Rogers singing We're In The Money in pig latin (Gold Diggers of 1933)!
And just the portions of If I Were a Rich Man, from Fiddler, that sound like they were lifted right from this week's testimony:
"Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum," or, (depending on lyrics source): "Daidle deedle daidle Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum."
And Money, from Cabaret, cuz it's a showwwwww!!!!

10:39am Mickey Mephistopheles:

Ken:

I'm feeling poetic, so I'd like to suggest that your glee at the collapse of the stock market is perhaps the ghosts of Stelton Normal School wailing "Rise up! Rise up young workers and take what is rightfully yours!"

But it's probably just schadenfreude.

10:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

We have a DVD with some Baby Huey cartoons. In one, he goes "Hey Santa, I need more bubble water." The fox (disguised as Santa Claus) pours him a bubble pipe full of nitroglycerin. Chaos ensues.

10:43am Bad Ronald:

High at The OTB

10:43am Robert g:

11:16am Ken:

Leslie - the comments stay up after the show is over, they just go to the bottom of the page (frames end after the show ends).

LD, I could be wrong, but WFMU marathons do well in bust years, not just boom years. IIRC. (Although maybe there are more pledges defaulted upon in the bust years?)

I hope you're right Ike. I know I'll have to cut back if I lose my job (I'm not in the financial sector, I'm in the media biz but we're already hearing ominous phrases like "cost containment initiatives" around the office) and even if I don't the ol' retirement fund has taken quite the ass-kicking. If it comes down to "support FMU and eat Alpo" or "don't support FMU and at least eat canned pork 'n' beans", well, dog food doesn't really appeal to me.

Brilliant show.

Sept. 24 show was particularly brilliant, Ken. But you're my all-time favorite dj anywhere, any time, anyway, so I think you're pretty brilliant already. I have an idea for an WFMU show. Check out TalkingStickTV dot org ... The NYC area could go to town with a similar program / Web site. Nu?
