MD:

Ken deserves a day off!!!
  9:08am
Caryn:

Well, Ken said he was dying... But I think that would've been announced on the air.
  9:08am
Nathan:

Either that or Ken wasn't kidding about his impending death from Lyme disease.
  9:09am
glenn:

well, we're all dying.
  9:09am
Number 9:

Turn me on Ken man
  9:09am
Andrew Waterloo:

Vinyl armor malfunction?
  9:09am
Nathan:

It's true, Ken does deserve a day off. However, I wanted to hear him gloat and be all cheerful.
  9:10am
104.3:

I thought we owned this song.
  9:10am
James Mason as Captain Nemo:

I'm dying and the Nautilus is dying with me.
  9:10am
Caryn:

Ken's in his vinyl armour, and he's fallen and can't get up. He's like a turtle flipped on its shell.
  9:11am
w i l dneil:

"Hi! Can you play some King Crimson bootlegs?"
  9:11am
Nathan:

surely Ken's got Life Alert.. ?
  9:12am
w i l dneil:

Elton John almost sang for King Crimson....
  9:12am
Walt:

Yeah, how bout a little Sherman bros.
  9:12am
glenn:

i'm getting this premium as part of my swag, no doubt about it.
  9:13am
Andrew Waterloo:

An excess length of gaffer tape has effectively glued him to a kitchen chair.
  9:14am
Snark:

Yeah, his grandkids got it for him for Purim.

Which is today. Possibly the real reason for his absence??

I guess he's still going to be there to spear Andy in the side as he's crucified at sundwon tonight.
  9:15am
Nathan:

Enough of Ken. I for one welcome our temporary Wednesday 9-12noon overlord.
  9:15am

DOH! Pretty Green, blast from the past fer sure...
  9:15am
King Louie!:

Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
  9:16am
Caryn:

Well, Andy's going to be one of the robbers. Not sure if either one of them was speared in the side.
  9:17am
G:

@Nathan: His reward is hiding from the kids and rocking out.
  9:17am
Steve Miller:

Pretty Swingtowny in the rhythm, there.

  9:18am

@DCP - even "That's Entertainment"?
  9:19am
dc pat:

Aaron: hilarious.
  9:20am
dc pat:

  9:23am
Parq:

It's you, Pat. They still sound fine to me. Or maybe it's me, but in reverse. Anyway, Ken, sleep the untroubled sleep of the angels, and Tim, great to hear you.
  9:23am
Robert:

Seriously, there's a lot of work to be done post-marathon. I think Ken took the week off from his show last year too. Then of course there was the year he suspended himself for not being at the controls to dump Andy's curse.
  9:24am
dc pat:

Parq: ok, just checking. I saw them in '82 and they blew the freaking doors off. one of my top 5 shows
  9:25am
dc pat:

THE WHO!! Now we're talking...

Bad Ronald:

Cousin Kevin!
  9:26am
bruceleh:

I don't think I've heard Tommy since I was in the Roebling dorm in RPI, back in 79-80!
  9:29am
dc pat:

Tommy was my first album.
  9:30am
other david:

Despite acute Tonetta withdrawal symptoms, I'm quite enjoying this show
  9:30am
glenn:

  9:33am
hey hey:

My first record was a Bozo the Clown read-along.
  9:33am
dc pat:

that's a pretty good one too. I was a bona fide Who freak...and still am...
  9:33am
Van in DC:

Computer is in post marathon funk too.
  9:33am
Snark:

Sounds like Ken's show now :-)
  9:34am
Van in DC:

Feed the computer coffee, that will help
  9:34am
bruceleh:

First music I got my father to buy me was a boot leg 8-track of Broadway Musical Hair being sold in a gun show!
  9:34am

Single - Grand Funk - "Locomotion"
Album - Queen - "Night at the Opera"
  9:35am
Andrew Waterloo:

My boss is behind me on a conference call to Italy :( I can't hear the music well...
  9:36am

While Dizney went with the twinkling sounds of tinkerbell to turn the page, Bozo's book went honking gag-horn,

<honk>
  9:39am
Caryn:

My parents bought me my earliest own rock records, but the first albums I got for myself were an album of Brazilian dance music and an Alice Cooper album.
  9:39am
glenn:

  9:39am

"Hair" at a gun show. That's great. Leeeeet the gun shine...
  9:39am
Andrew Waterloo:

I had the picture disc of Fox and the Hound
  9:40am
kat330:

"Caravan" in Russian?
  9:40am
Andrew Waterloo:

Peter Fonda's intro is really good too. Limey is one of my all time favourites.
  9:41am
Cecile:

Tim!!!
  9:41am
Gun Show Record Dealer:

I tell ya what, this heah's one manly rekkid. Hair. You know what kinda hair. Snap it up, boy!
  9:42am
dc pat:

ah but what was your last album? Mine was Bloodshot Bill, Thunder and Lightening.
  9:43am
T-Zero:

@Caryn: The first album my parents gave me was The Ventures.
  9:44am
dc pat:

my dad went out and bought Iron Butterfly albums for some reason. I think he played them once or twice. I have them sitting in the basement now.
  9:44am
seang:

yeah,Bloodshot Bill is a monster!
  9:44am

  9:48am
herb:

  9:48am
Caryn:

@kat: yep, from the album "Our retro, volume 16. Music plays softly." From the band Pop Orchestra.
  9:49am
Caryn:

My last album (not including premiums): I bought a 2-disc set from 60s' chanteuse Carola, and a collection from Sielun Veljet, a Finnish punk band.
  9:50am
Aaron in Jcity:

Эдита Пьеха perfect ringtone music!
  9:50am
BSI:

first LP bought with my own money: ELO's "eldorado." ... the last one (minus premiums) would be Cut Hands vol.1 and 2, when he played here in DC a couple weeks ago. ... so life has gotten weirder.
  9:50am
glenn:

i did pretty good, i won a flipper album from amanda, and the john c. reilly from doug, and something else which i forget.
  9:51am
kat330:

I figured at least you could recognize the Russian alphabet, Caryn. When I look at the word, I can actually see the "Caravan" in it.
  9:54am
dc pat:

Oh yeah! I think I won something from Doug too. Have no idea what...
  9:54am
Caryn:

And from "Our retro, volume 10. Free evening." we heard "Our neighbour."
  9:58am
glenn:

getting that swag package in the mail is a wonderful thing.
  10:00am
hey hey:

re: Andy on the cross this eve.
Xmas, I mean, Eastr comes early to WFMU
  10:00am
BSI:

@glenn: absolutely. I'm still playing Fabio's premium from 2 years ago like it just arrived yesterday. These things are marvels.
  10:02am
kat330:

Gee, is Ken on important station business in Russia? Or just Coney Island?
  10:08am
Andrew Waterloo:

I won a Dust to Digital comp from Ben Walker and a True Widow CD from Mary Wing
  10:08am
dc pat:

actually, I don't even want any swag this year--all I ever wear are FMU t-shirts, I've got JoeB's on right now!!
  10:08am
Coney barker:

Seee the man cencased in vinyl...for only fifty cent!
  10:09am
other david:

@kat330, unreliable rumour has it that he's currently in the Lubyanka seeking the release of Nardwuar
  10:09am
Coney barker:

...ENcased..don't mock your elders, son...
  10:13am
kat330:

@Coney: Oh, I thought you were emulating an accent, not a typo, heh!
@OD: Still in his Cher getup?
  10:13am
Deepak:

loving this soviet music.
  10:16am
Caryn:

Yevgeni did "Curfew" from "Our retro, volume 1. The long road." and Wieslaw did "Tango of Love". This track is called "Accident".
  10:16am
kat330:

Da,Deepak, and if this is "Plan B," Tim, I can only speculate what loveliness was originally planned.
  10:17am
Made for TV:

"So afraid of the Russians"
  10:17am
other david:

@Kat: Allegedly! Apparently he was arrested on suspicion of being a western spy, as he was carrying documents on obscure Soviet bands, including photo's of the KGB's chief as lead singer in a Queen tribute act. But then only worsened the situation by replying "Ba-boom!" when taken into custody.

Ken has work cut out
  10:19am
Deepak:

omg did we have a Plan A? You want to make me cry out of joy or what?
  10:20am
Ralphine:

Time to play Mr. Trololo.
  10:20am
kat330:

Well, I hope Ken is not Putin up with any nonsense.
  10:23am
Caryn:

I just borrowed a cd of Russian folk with French liner notes from the library. We Finns tend to like the more emotional, "sentimental Slavic" tracks.
  10:23am
Matt from Springfield:

Welcome Tim! Always glad to hear your fill-ins.
Excellent block right here, Soviet Russian all the way!
  10:24am
Caryn:

Dan is telling his guitar to sing.
  10:24am
Matt from Springfield:

@OD: Ken needs to provide the Russians with the appropriate "Doo doodle do do", then perhaps they will return an acceptable "doo doo" and release Nardwuar.
  10:25am
kat330:

His guitar is obeying.
  10:26am
Musicologist:

That Soviet-era music was so progressive, comrades!
  10:26am
Matt from Springfield:

Ahhh, and the Dihanije bed music! Perfect accompanyment to the Slavic tracks.
  10:26am
other david:

@Matt: hehe, I suspect you may be on to something there!

Yep on a more serious note, I'm really enjoying this show. Hope to hear you on the air more often Tim!
  10:27am
Parq:

@ Hey Hey, 9:36: I had that Bozo record too, come to think of it. It didn't click with me until you mentioned the nose-beep page turning cue.
  10:27am
hey hey:

the comment list froze @ "Russia" over here. An '84 throwback, for sure.
  10:27am
Byelo Jam:

Putin needle on the record.
  10:28am
Andrew Waterloo:

Putin on the Hits
  10:28am
Caryn:

The Tricotage track: "Houses and people".
  10:29am
Matt from Springfield:

Laibach is the German word for Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia!
I'm part Slovenian, so I'm proud of any exposure of the culture!
  10:30am
Caryn:

I wonder if there's going to be any Svetlana? Her voice was fantastic especially in the high register.
  10:31am
glenn:

which part?
  10:31am
Matt from Springfield:

@glenn: Specifically, mother's father.
  10:31am
glenn:

or some zlad? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
  10:32am
glenn:

oh. i was thinking right elbow.
  10:34am
kat330:

Hey, Caryn, Juha will be visiting his family mid-May. Maybe you should try for a meet-up in Helsinki?
  10:35am
Matt from Springfield:

If you put it that way glenn, my eyebrows are the most Slavic part of me--too thick for my taste and darker than the rest of my hair. Pretty lucky compared to Brezhnev et al, however!
  10:36am
Matt from Springfield:

My stomach however, is very international!
  10:36am
Caryn:

@kat: ooh, that would be nice! Going to Iceland in May, though. But I can't remember the dates. Need to check. But I suspect we can arrange a meet-up. :)
Are you going to be coming too?
  10:39am
kat330:

Wasn't economically feasible. I had to really push and "cajole" him to do it, but it was an unseemly 10 years since he'd seen his mom, dad and bro.
  10:40am
Matt from Springfield:

Female vocal reminds me of Vashti Bunyan a lot!
  10:40am
Deepak:

Greetings Musicologist.
  10:41am
Caryn:

Okay, 2 people have already posted gleefully on FB about Snooki announcing that she won't be shooting any more "Jersey Shore" for some time because of her pregnancy. So there is a silver lining to her multiplying...
  10:42am
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: Until her kids get their shows! And will probably be on the "16 and pregnant -- mother and daughter edition" together as well...
  10:44am
Matt from Springfield:

I am not a part of MTV at all for several years; only the revived Beavis & Butthead drew me back in, and in every case I'm glad that they're now riffing on MTV reality shows! Because they truly deserve a riffing!
  10:46am
Caryn:

@Matt: oh lord, you're right! And she'll get her own frigging family reality show too... Damn you, Universe! *shakes fist at the sky*
  10:48am
kat330:

@Caryn: You can decipher an email at http://kat330.tumblr.com/about if you want to exchange further Finn trip details.
  10:48am
Matt from Springfield:

Here's hoping reality shows eventually jump the shark and are banished to the Internet, where they can be ignored at will...
  10:49am
icki:

Who did the nooki and knockied up Snooki, and what rocki life looms for babi?
  10:49am
Matt from Springfield:

@kat330: Is Juha the "J" in JT?
  10:51am
kat330:

Aww, wouldn't object to hearing a little "Dream a Little Dream of Me" seeing this album title.
  10:51am
kat330:

@Matt: Yup. Juha Tapio.
  10:53am
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks kat, a "very" Finnish name indeed!

Whenever it's typed out somewhere, people frequently mistake it for "Julia." But the worst was a friend of ours spell check, changing "Juha" to "Jihad" in an email. Eeesh! This was very soon after 9/11, and I'm certain that put us on a watchlist, all privacy out the window.

THAT is aberrant behoovior.

BSI:

@glenn: agreed. Although since our basic cable package recently squeezed out BBC America, we've been feasting on (the real) Top Gear much more than is healthy. If not for that, I wouldn't watch the thing.

@glenn: indeed sir, I watch a little BBC4 as they occasionally have good programming - archival footage of Modern Jazz Quartet and suchlike, but rarely watch TV otherwise

BBC did a awesome documentary on the Easy Listening music genre that I recommend people watch. Here is part 1 on youtube, it then links to the other parts. Its feature length. http://youtu.be/zgmCw3fcZxg

That's right, Amanda's song was a Television cover. I hadn't heard the orig before, but it's worth investigating as I liked her version of it.

ah television (the band). it sounds easy, but you start trying to work the songs out, and then you realize - this stuff is complicated.

Speaking of TV and hearing Desi....So Brian played Fred Mertz Flock of Slits yesterday and I was reading a little about William Frawley, and about Desi giving him the role of Fred only under the condition that any unexplained 3 day absence would result in termination. Bill had a little drinking history. And there's yer tangent of the day.

@kat: will do. BTW, what does JT think about his musician namesake Juha Tapio? He's very popular here, you know. (Not a big fan myself, but he does have a couple of good, catchy tunes.)
  11:18am
Minnesota Jeff:

@Andrew Waterloo: No problem, its a really great documentary. Lots of people get put off the idea because its about Easy Listening and Muzak, etc., but its a super entertaining / funny / charming doc. about a massive genre of music thats both extremely successful and shit on by most everyone at the same time.
  11:19am
kat330:

@Caryn: If he knows of him, he's never mentioned him to me. I believe he told me his mother named him for some author?

A lot of Monkees tributes lately, and I've been impressed at how good most of their songs are.

Wizzz nice! Have you checked out the "Got the Go" French comps?
  11:21am
kat330:

Out of the vintage Finn musicians JT's introduced me to, I quite enjoy Jim Pembroke. His "There's a Party Upstairs" would be appropriate in tribute to some recent deaths in the music world.
  11:22am
Caryn:

@kat: yeah, the musician has broken through in the past couple of years, so I'm not surprised if JT may not have heard of him. I wonder if they both got named after the same guy?

Tim, it truly is a trip this morning, kiitos!

Easy Listening gets a lot of love from me and not in any sort of ironic way.

I've actually borrowed a lot of different stuff Pembroke's been in from the library recently. He's good.

Andrew Waterloo:

Pop often gets written off for being inauthentic and accessible. Which is unfortunate because there's usually a lot of great musicians, composers, and song-writers in the background.

So what is this musician JT up to? Finnish lyrics, rocker, etc.?

Pezonik - Muzak falls within Easy Listening I would say.

caryn, when you go to iceland, pick up some music by lay low, or go see her if you can.

Jeff. Yes, sure it does. But Muzak is highly non representative of easy listening
  11:38am

and that is the problem

Man, I haven't seen YOG in ages. Sampled the hell out of my VHS copy 20+ years ago. Great monster monologues.
  11:40am
Sam:

I found where muzak comes from. There's a town in France called Musac. It's in the massif central, in the middle of nowhere, sort of the redneck part of France.
  11:41am

Yog: outrageous movie, interesting monster.
  11:42am
Matt from Springfield:

"The Clamour of the Sun"--the Japanese edition of the Animals' "House of the Rising Sun"!
  11:44am
Andrew Waterloo:

Muzak comes from South Carolina, the term is a mashing of Music and Kodak
  11:44am

@Caryn: I'm taking a stab in the dark: song is along the lines of Westerberg's "Love Untold"? Seems like penpals meeting for the first time.

SteveL:

What a coincidence. The great hunger is also upon me!
  11:48am
kat330:

I heard the name "Kodak" came from the notion "K" was a sound of strength. Kayak would have been a nice palindrome, too.
  11:53am
glenn:

i guess that explains the kkk. at least as much as anything can.
  11:54am
Sam:

Kodak must be an Indian name right? There's a Kodiak Island in Alaska or somewhere around there.
  11:55am
Caryn:

@kat: actually, it's more about 2 people who've been together for years, looking out of their window at two old trees in their yard, and comparing themselves to the trees, whose roots have intertwined over the years until they're one, and will together withstand any weather.
  11:56am
kat330:

@Sam: Nope, not Indian. It's what I said. I believe it was mentioned in a "60 Minutes" piece. [Don't taze me, "Me"!]
  11:56am
Caryn:

The K is also considered a funny sound, so maybe the KKK subconsciously want to be ridiculed. That would be nice.
  11:57am
kat330:

Ah, I was way off the mark. So what was the typewriter and letters coming through the mailslots? [can answer in email or whatever]
  11:57am
Sam:

Yes, putting K's always makes things funnier. Like Krusty the Klown, or anything with "Krazy" in it
  11:57am
Pezonik:

"k" is probably the shortest text you can send
  11:58am
Pezonik:

Kool thing
  11:58am
Caryn:

From Wikipedia: The letter "K" was a favorite of Eastman's; he is quoted as saying, "it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter." He and his mother devised the name Kodak with an Anagrams set. Eastman said that there were three principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short; one cannot mispronounce it, and it could not resemble anything or be associated with anything but Kodak.
