9:02am melinda:

Hi Ken! That was good banter between shows.

♥ 9:02am Bronwyn Bishop:

Hi Ken and everyone! This is special.

♥ 9:03am Sebastian:

so, is 'asshole' OK with the FCC in general or are you just allowed to use it if it's in a songtitle?

♥ 9:03am -Ken:

Welcome my friends!

9:03am cory:

asshole is in the bible

♥ 9:04am pantz:

Morning Ken. I guess you pretty much live at the station now, huh?

9:04am bobdoesthings:

9:05am FɇFɇ (:

Unleash the hippie noise!

KHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

♥ 9:05am Webhamster Henry:

Ken is lusting toward an Alan Chartok- like radio ubiquity.

9:05am ?:

I think this is that crappy morning DJ. He must be filling in.

9:07am orpheusviking:

cornweeniee!!

♥ 9:07am βrian:

Soft-pore corn weenie on the horizon.

9:08am FɇFɇ (:

In the very depth see of the Interweb I found some tracks by Khlam's singer and saxophonist before they formed Khlam. It is khlamtastic! Unfortunately one of the good songs was uploaded with some corruption error.

♥ 9:09am MD:

That Morning Show Guy...is great... he really helped my drive down RT3!!!

9:10am bobdoesthings:

::additional comment about ken doing two spots::

♥ 9:11am -Ken:

Great to hear MD, I will pass that on to him cuz he's new and needs all the feedback he can get.

♥ 9:11am Lizardner Dave:

While this morning's guy was really good, any chance of Glen Jones taking a crack at Wake and Bake?

♥ 9:12am Planet Tyler:

First day back at work after 7 days and this is perfect

♥ 9:12am -Ken:

Yes, Glen will be doing two days soon. Will look for the dates and post them here.

♥ 9:13am Sebastian:

Eisbär!

9:13am kilgor:

well, maybe you want listen "The Zverstvo" if you want another russian khlam

♥ 9:14am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Sebastian - I posted a link to FCC's obscenity FAQ page on the Wake and Bake show just prior. www.wfmu.org... May or may not actually answer your question, though.

♥ 9:14am -Ken:

Send me a link to a good song Kilgor

♥ 9:15am Sebastian:

@Ken From Hyde Park, yeah, I saw that, thanks, but it's kind of a long read for something so stupid...

9:16am steve:

hi Ken... any chance you'll post a schedule of upcoming Wake and Bake hosts?

♥ 9:17am -Ken:

Excellent idea Steve! I think I shall do that when I eat my apple and play DING

9:17am steve:

woo hoo

9:19am FɇFɇ (:

Sebastian,

♥ 9:21am βrian:

This young man could use a spoonful of cough syrup.

9:24am Bratello:

Hello, Ken
Who plays the song in Russian before Grauzone?
Thank`s!

9:25am bobdoesthings:

@bratello - that was Khlam!

9:26am sphere:

Maggot Brain. This is perfect.

9:30am Scraps:

I swear, Maggot Brain always makes me weep

♥ 9:30am -Ken:

God Bless Eddie Hazell

9:30am P-9O:

Good Morning Ken and Kenthusiasts

♥ 9:31am -Ken:

Why hello there P90!

9:32am Okasa:

Good morning. Looks like I'm joining late... hour 3.5 of the Kenathon.

9:33am kilgor:

Ken, try this link, it should work
http://pleer.net/tracks/3657511Mqqi

9:34am Scraps:

Ween has a beautiful parody of Maggot Brain. Oh yeah, it's called "A Tear for Eddie"!

♥ 9:36am Uncle Michael:

The first time I saw P-Funk was eight days after Eddie Hazel died. Michael Hampton soloed on Maggot brain for about 25 minutes. It was emotional.

9:37am bobdoesthings:

@ken - a friend of mine coined the term froshildo (i think on urban dictionary) - frozen shit dildo. Froshildo.

♥ 9:39am MD:

Yeah...I am Digging it...I get in the car and hook up my "pod' for shuffle...but then I remember to check out FMU...and I do...and the Zanny Morning person get's me going better than coffee!!! You know with all those sound FX and crazy joke bits..!!!

♥ 9:40am Bronwyn Bishop:

ah, shittyflute

♥ 9:41am Sebastian:

great, this actually makes me have to go No. 2

♥ 9:44am melinda:

Dancing Queen is one of the best pooeyflutes.

9:44am P-9O:

Missed this morning's drive-time spectacular because I was fighting with my bank to get the email address they use changed. For hours. They don't make anything easy.

9:44am P-9O:

Any progress on the bagpipe issue?

♥ 9:46am -Ken:

NO DEFINITIVE WORD ON THE BAGPIPES. THERE'S BEEN A COUP ON THE STANDARDS AND PRACTICES COMMITTEE. STOP.

9:48am James f:

this is genius!

♥ 9:48am Ike:

Good morning, you dirty hippies! @P-90, switch to a credit union.

♥ 9:50am MD:

It's bin a while for this one!!! for me..."Yeah it's us she say's!!!"

9:54am Blix:

Reminds me of Gina D'Orio's excellent "Where did our love go?"

9:56am Brendan:

Good morning Ken this sounds way better than the music in my dentist's office. Sounds like the hygenist is really getting all the drool . Good suction,

♥ 9:57am Webhamster Henry:

If this is the show after Wake & Bake, is it time to take the chicken out of the oven?

♥ 9:58am AnAnonymousParty:

Hell, this isn't even an ordinary song.

♥ 10:01am doctorjazz:

Norah Jones! My goodness!

♥ 10:07am Whosondephone:

HA-HAHA YEAHHH!

♥ 10:07am AnAnonymousParty:

Shitty Moog?

♥ 10:07am bbell:

this is my sort of thing

10:07am Brendan:

Oway!

10:09am Brendan:

The daxophone is how a baby animal would sound I imagine.

♥ 10:09am melinda:

This Hans Reichel is nice breakfast music.

10:10am fredrik:

Really sings to my bagel

♥ 10:13am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Is toast_sax from Stephen 'Rinse Dream' Sayadian's "Night Dreams"? It's been literal decades since I saw it…and is metal_head Glen[n?] Danzig, whom I know only from "Aqua Teen Hunger Force"?

10:15am cobradan:

I had a cellmate who claimed to have played in Roland Kirk's band. He was dropped on his head from a second floor. So I don't know it was true.

10:16am Brendan:

Interestingly enough the Wiki etymology thing says dax (in daxophone) 'is derived from the German word Dachs, meaning "badger" an referencing the many animal sounds the daxophone is capable of generating' . So yes it did sound like an animal. A baby animal.

10:16am Okasa:

What happened with Mariah Carey?

10:17am PMD:

Ken you are such s tease.

♥ 10:17am Andrew Waterloo:

Roland Kirk is always great.

10:17am Wild Neil:

PEACE all and Happy New Year....waiting to enter salary discussions regarding a fire test lab position...and they are delayed....
@Ken-stay hydrated dude, your six hour stint reminds me of a chemical warfare exercise I went through and had to wear a gas mask for several hours....conserve your precious bodily fluids and refresh them per that officer in Dr. Strangelove!

♥ 10:18am -Ken:

Okasa, she was hit in the head with a T-Shirt from a T-shirt cannon, and stumbled around for like 10 seconds, and then shen she started singing again, she was singing in SPANISH. At the end of that song, she was escorted from the stage.

10:18am asheville jon:

Looks like there is an app with an audio countdown timer called "audio countdown"

♥ 10:19am -Ken:

Thank you Neil! I shall preserve my precious bodily fluids Mandrake!

10:19am Okasa:

Poor Mariah! That sure sounds like you could fill an hour talking about it...

♥ 10:22am Andrew Waterloo:

Just because they want you to be perfect, doesn't mean they don't want you to actually perform.

♥ 10:24am Ike:

@Okasa, Ken is lying humorously. It was actually Bulgarian, not Spanish. Spanish! Ha ha! What a kidder.

10:24am Brendan:

Give Mariah credit for readjusting and making sure sure the money shot of her cleavage was good when the audio went south. That's (cough- bullshit) art.

10:25am james:

more Delaney and Bonnie. always!

10:29am Wild Neil:

@Ken where did the GIF of the two girls in swimsuits with the sax player come from? A 60's striptease club? Its uber-sexy!

♥ 10:30am Mark the Sardine:

Great set!

10:31am joe Ray:

I love this version of this song. The video that goes with it is good too

10:32am fredrik:

Is this Pipilotti's voice?

♥ 10:32am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Wild Neil:
Extra points if it's from Dallas' fabulous Carousel Club.

10:32am demomode:

great!!!

10:34am KP:

Heard this version of Wicked Games as part of an exhibit at the New Museum in the Bowery.

10:36am Listener Robert:

P-90, I've determined that personal identification rigmarole in the USA rests wholly on the banking system in almost every case. Everything rests on birth certificates, but getting a new birth certificate depends either on one's making a personal appearance or ordering remotely. Either way requires presentation of certain info that anyone could ferret out who wanted to; however, payment for it is the choke point, requiring a bank to have info on file on you that matches the ordering info.

10:38am David K:

An old piece by Pippoloti Rist. See it on ubu if you want

♥ 10:41am Uncle Michael:

How old was Lena when she was asking me to take the ribbons from her hair?

10:41am rw:

Holy cow. Help me make it through the night!

10:42am P-9O:

@Robert: all I did was change the email the bank uses to routinely contact me from one url I've had for years to another one I've had for years. The procedure on the website was simple, but it just didn't work, I had to speak to two different representatives to get it done. Is there any big US bank whose customer service does not simply SUCK?

10:44am Fredricksbrooke:

Holy crap. I have that Lena album. The whole thing is creepy. That set woulda done well with the Zip Code Rapists cover of Wake Me Up Before You GoGo.

10:48am Wild Neil:

@P90: My bank in Western NY was HSBC, then First Niagara and now is Key Bank. I got so sick of it I joined a credit union that has been around 57 years...and got a car loan with them for about 4% (compared to the bank the car dealer got for 9.99%!)...Credit Unions can do about 90% of what banks do and are MUCH cooler to deal with...there is a reason people like them and those that use them advocate for them....

♥ 10:49am Ike:

What Wild Neil said!

♥ 10:50am melinda:

I like this Alvarius B and Cerberus Shoal. I feel I should know CS better since they were a local band, but I don't get out much. Thanks, WFMU/Ken for the introduction!

♥ 10:51am melinda:

And I second the plug for local credit unions.

10:53am Okasa:

Jaka lives!

♥ 10:54am -Ken:

OK, here is the schedule for other people who will be trying out for the 6-9am Morning show:

1/16-17 Clay Pigeon
1/18-19 Dan Carlisle (veteran freeform - WABX/KSAN)
1/20 & 1/23: Pat K of the Ichiban Stream
1/24-25 Todd-o-Phonic Todd
1/26-27 Matt Warwick
1/30-31 Glen Jones
2/7-8 Billy Jam
2/9-10 Jim the Poet

More to be added...

10:56am David K:

I always thought clay would be perfect. I just didn't think he'd want it.

♥ 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park:

Jim the Poet demonstrated some actual DJ skills when he filled in for Jonesey a month ago.

11:03am Wild Neil:

I think Clay would be hilarious although his taste in music is kinda....70's oriented in a slightly bad way from my limited exposure.......but his patter is hilarious! If you had Clay do the talking and somebody else co-hosting and doing the music that would be amazing, like Joe Belock! Or Jonesy! Or .....IRWIN!!!! IRWIN would be fuckin amazing!!!!!!

♥ 11:05am Jeff:

That Ding song flew by! 18 minutes? It felt like only about 11 and a half!

11:06am Listener Robert:

I have a friend in Brooklyn, Fred Cookinham, who has a great voice and has worked both professionally and amateurly as a tour guide, and provided the voice for talking books etc. for the blind. I'd love to hear him doing a morning show regularly for $, and I bet he could fit it in with his regular job the same way he's done with other things. Should I ask him?

11:07am Wild Neil:

"Cat Dildos"....heard that one near years eve on TV.

11:07am P-9O:

I've always had the feeling that the drive-time slot would turn out to be multiple hosts on different days, rather than one DJ slogging through 15 hours of programs and trying to keep it fresh. And stay sane. I also thought the best solution might be teams of DJs working in pairs, mit der banter und der chemistry etc. But I suppose its hard enough to get even one person reliably in there at 6 am, all revved up and raring to go... Honsetly, just as a model, what Fabio and Clay do together is a pretty damn good template for a morning show. Of course, they do it for like 10 minutes, once a week. At a non-unGodly hour.

♥ 11:08am -Ken:

No Robert, the deadline has passed for applications.

♥ 11:08am Ken From Hyde Park:

Driving 65 mph for six hours would get a person almost 400 miles. Where would that put the DJ at noon? Maine or Pittsburgh, perhaps?

11:09am FɇFɇ (:

Ken

How is going to be decided who will get the 6am to 9am WMFU air slot? By rating? By number of people calling-in? By number of starred songs?

11:10am P-9O:

And what IS Dan Ingram doing these days?

♥ 11:10am MD:

Glen Jones!! in the Morning??? MAD!!!

♥ 11:10am -Ken:

f0f0 - By arm wrestling.

11:11am Wild Neil:

Could they install a bed at WFMU like a fire station so somebody could roll out of bed and do the morning show?
@Ken from Hyde Park-I think it works out to more like 50mph with breaks,,,I have data! I drove from NJ to NM several times and over several days it devolves to 50mph average during the hours you are driving....65mp is a pipedream, you would have to go 80mph sometimes to realize....
Digging this slow TATU of the Smiths! Its really heavy like Monster Magnet or Earthless!

♥ 11:11am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Hey, T.A.T.U. could play the Inauguration.

11:12am mg:

Oh, man, make this stop, please.

11:13am Listener Robert:

Darn, -Ken. Too bad I'd other things on my mind, more pressing personally, and should've thought of my friend earlier.

♥ 11:13am MD:

I guess that would be a great wake-up chant....JONESY!!!

11:15am Dean:

Heard YMB open for Cabaret Voltaire c.1979. Helluva billing.

11:15am P-9O:

OK, the arm-wrestling thing adds a whole different layer to the process...

11:15am Dean:

*YMB=YMG=Young Marble Giants

11:15am FɇFɇ (:

I agree with Wild Neil! Clay and Irwin make great chemistry. Just like Salt n Peppa, Cibo and Matto or even Yoko Ono and Cat Power.

11:17am Cheri Pi:

Hey it's OUR song

♥ 11:20am -Ken:

Yes Cheri! It somehow got retitled in my MP3 collection.. I still am not sure if this is the correct artist and title to credit. Also, it's a cover, so the mystery lives on.

♥ 11:21am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Evidently, t. A.T.u. have re-broken-up, but as at least one of them would like to see her children again, if Putin asks…and you can't tell me the President-elect has never before enjoyed a performance by two disgusted women tired of pretending to be lesbian for a rich nonce, though not on national TV.

11:23am FɇFɇ (:

POREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

This song predicted the fake news phenomena

11:24am Cheri Pi:

That's crayzee, but it's a fresh start, I'll research the new info Ken.

♥ 11:25am MD:

tHESE rOBOTS ARE GIVING IT all away!!! STOP THEM...OUR SECRET PLANS!!!

♥ 11:26am jmd:

thanks for introducing me to Porest.

11:27am Wild Neil:

Porest is pretty out there! Wow, now a Polka "Waiting for Nigel!" Cool!

♥ 11:28am Lizardner Dave:

HUMMMMMPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 11:29am MD:

PLANS!!!

♥ 11:29am MD:

I have tons of Humpaa today!!!

♥ 11:32am MD:

More People Should Humpaa...

11:32am JS:

Guess I always wondered what this would sound like.

♥ 11:33am Parq:

I can't stop watching the Hurdy Gurdy gif.

♥ 11:33am AndyIowa:

Happy New Year Ken, and all! To another year of the best radio station on the planet... long live WFMU!

11:36am Billyiswilliam:

Great show today Ken!

♥ 11:38am MD:

THE CRAMPS NEVER GIVE ME THE CRAMPS...!

11:42am Wild Neil:

This song sounds REALLY familiar.
You know, Ken, The Horseflies (science fiction Bluegrass music) made a song called Human Fly too I think....

11:43am FɇFɇ (:

Wire's I am the Fly is another example of perfect song.

♥ 11:45am Webhamster Henry:

[ help meeeee!]

11:48am ?:

Geez, got ready to go to work listening to Ken around 6:30 and hearing himnow at my desk- almost noon. WHAT A GREAT START TO THE DAY!

11:49am Kath:

You might have been on for 6hours, but great energy today!

11:50am Kath:

& second that great start to the day

♥ 11:51am Webhamster Henry:

People who miss Nachum can still get him (streaming) via www.nachumsegal.com

11:51am PMD:

Do the grandparents have to be alive?

♥ 11:52am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Ken: That fly: Either you're hallucinating, or (more likely) you are become Be'elzebub, Lord of the Flies. (Now I feel like getting on a bus to you.)

11:54am FɇFɇ (:

Slapp Happy's The Drum, another perfect beautiful song!

11:54am Wild Neil:

Ken, it was a great show, way to go dude! I think you will set a WFMU record today....

11:55am FɇFɇ (:

Wild Neil,

That's what I thought but, according to WFMU's Book of Records, Glen Jones has that record being 24hours on air for 3 consecutive days in 2001.

♥ 11:55am MD:

OUT OF BODY DJ MOMENT!!!

♥ 11:56am MD:

I LIVED THRU THAT GLEN JONES WEEKEND...

11:57am FɇFɇ (:

Thanks, Ken! Great 6 hours show! Wake up early tomorrow brothers and sisters, and I'll see you here! Till next episode!

♥ 11:57am (Murakami Whywolf))):

STAY OUT OF THE LIGHT, KEN, STAY OUT OF THE LIGHT!

♥ 11:57am Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks for six hours of madness today, Ken. See you later. Stay ever hydrated.

♥ 11:57am -Ken:

Bye everybody! i GOTTA GET AWAY FROM THESE FLIES. They are not bothering Duane. some DJs have all the luck.

11:58am hoeg:

nice one

♥ 11:58am ultradamno:

Dagmar Krause is one of my favorite singers ever too.

11:58am FɇFɇ (:

Check you are alive, Ken. You might be like the 6th Sense guy. Dead bodies attract flies.

7:30am Robert:

Dear Ken,
after you played Ding(!) there was a music box version of How soon is now, just before the tatu cover. could you tell me who the artist of this is? thank you very much!
