The transmitter may have squealed...but on the upside, it had a purty mouth.

9:03am MikeY:

COOL uncle Michael

9:03am fred von helsing:

can't we trade up to a transmuter

♥ 9:03am Dan B From Upstate:

9:04am People Like Us:

9:04am f⊕f⊕ (:

Heil Caryn.com!!!

♥ 9:04am Caryn:

Hot wax on Andy's balls I pledge 50 bucks

♥ 9:05am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

WAIWAIWAIWAIWAAAAAAAIT. Khlam is the grand prize?? Oh man...

♥ 9:06am Caryn:

I suspect I might look like that meerkat by the time 7SD comes around. Got 3 hours sleep last night. (The Marathon really cuts down on one's sleep...)

♥ 9:06am Caryn:

Hey, f⊕f⊕ (: !

9:07am f⊕f⊕ (:

Get a prosthetic tail, Caryn. You cannot miss today's 7SD.

♥ 9:08am Caryn:

If I have to, I'll stay up with the help of lots of sugar.

9:09am Cecile:

Ken!

9:10am Cheri Pi:

klaus!!

♥ 9:10am Andrew Waterloo:

My favourite song of 2013.

♥ 9:11am Irwin:

Hi, everybody. Ken is in a foul mood. Please mollify him with your support. Please pledge NOW or face karmic retribution.

♥ 9:11am Caryn:

You know, Roger Hill got the role of Cyrus after the person originally cast in the role mysteriously vanished... Of course, that guy was an actual gang member, so I think what happened to him ain't much of a mystery, apart from the precise and grusome details.

9:11am Whooda:

I'm convinced. I'll put out another $15. to help combat the Meercat barbiturate abuse problem in our inner city zoos. You really know where my soft spot is DJ Station Manager Ken.

9:12am Cecile:

Pi! Caryn! Irwin.

♥ 9:14am Irwin:

I'm MC'ing. Ken just called me on the intercom. Every other phrase from his mouth was OH, FUCK IT.

9:15am Cheri Pi:

C'ile!!!!

♥ 9:15am Marcel M:

Its funny how NOW he says he got kicked out. At first he was all like, "Ohhhh I left because I was cured."

9:15am doca:

SERENITY NOW, KEN!!! Hi, all, happy marathon

9:16am Toots:

Keilidh just ran to answer the ringing phone from the pledge room. IN OUR LIVING ROOM.

♥ 9:16am Marcel M:

@ Doca: LOL love that episode. HOOOCIEEE MOOMMAAAA!!!!

9:17am doca:

I've found yesterday Jim Price's flickr and it has a lot of great pics of WFMU in the ol' days, including some very revealing Ken photographs
www.flickr.com...

9:17am doca:

@Marcel: haha Seinfeld <3

♥ 9:17am Webhamster Henry:

Stop denigrating us hamsters.

♥ 9:18am common:

@toots: heehee! that's great!

9:18am Cecile:

Ken, have you considered kickboxing?

♥ 9:18am Dan B From Upstate:

You can test for good entropy when you do a blood test. Same as testing for bad entropy.

♥ 9:19am Marcel M:

So can I split a mouse of today pledge between four shows? How does that work?

♥ 9:19am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

Khlam..that's it....

♥ 9:19am Dan B From Upstate:

Hey, David from Johnstown. I was through your town about a month ago.

♥ 9:20am Caryn:

@Marcel: at the top of the "pick your swag" page you can pick the shows your pledge goes towards.

9:21am KOTJ:

My boner...I didn't think that was the meerkat's tail.

9:21am Cecile:

Marcel. Divide 365/4

♥ 9:22am Caryn:

Of course, by "pick your swag" I mean the main pledge page where you choose the pledge amount and general swag you want, not the DJ premium page.

9:22am Cheri Pi:

When I pledge a smaller amount to multiple shows, like $15 I write in the note section "this is part of a larger mouse of Today pledge"

9:23am KOTJ:

Ken, Thank you for sharing.

♥ 9:23am Marcel M:

I sort of want to hold out to just soak Andy with it all at once.

9:23am Cecile:

Me 2, Pi.

♥ 9:23am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

it was the Khlam...

♥ 9:24am Skirkie:

No more tinnitus radio.

♥ 9:24am egal:

The check is in the mail.

9:25am Cheri Pi:

WWWIIIIIIIIINNNN!!!!!

9:25am Cecile:

Please give it to me, thx bai

♥ 9:25am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

..."is Cheri Pi a she?" Oh man, Irwin...

9:26am Cecile:

Kenny G used to think I was a dude

♥ 9:26am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

Yeah but that's Kenny G...

9:26am f⊕f⊕ (:

Wait...So Cheri Pi is not a she?!?

9:26am Whooda:

@Dan B. Glad to know you enjoyed the privilege of our swell town. and increased our collective IQ level, if only briefly. Did you happen to catch the new Walmart Superstore parking lot? It's a beauty!

♥ 9:27am Ken:

Morning everybody! You gotta forgive Irwin - it's kind of early for him.

9:27am Cecile:

She's a sexy lady-man-lady.

♥ 9:27am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

When I first started doing this I tried to make folks think I was a wimmen...couldn't keep up the ruse.

♥ 9:27am Caryn:

Well, with 50 gender choices on FB, maybe they're now unsure about genders. I mean, on Monday, Ken announced that he wasn't sure if I was a man or a woman, because he wasn't sure.

♥ 9:28am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

She's about as she as you can get.

9:28am Cecile:

The shoes hurt too much, dcp?

♥ 9:28am Dan B From Upstate:

I did indeed, Whooda. Saw it on my way out of town to visiit my sister in G'ville. Glad to know there's an fmu fan near my family!

♥ 9:29am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

yeah, Cecile--I ain't no Lux Interior..

9:29am f⊕f⊕ (:

Wait..What am talking about? Cheri Pi is indeed a she. But actually, long time ago I also thought she was a he.

9:30am Whooda:

@Dan, nothing binds like FMU glue.

♥ 9:30am Marcel M:

Does anyone actually take 8 bucks off per swag item when they do tax deductions?

9:30am ?:

Did Ken really just say "on the block?"

9:31am Cecile:

I've been told I write like a guy.

♥ 9:32am Marcel M:

I've been told I write like a serial killer...

♥ 9:32am Skirkie:

"Swag items? What swag items, Mr. Taxman?" - he says, while wearing his goldfinch shirt.

9:32am Cecile:

Marcel, if I were freelancing for a living - you know it!

♥ 9:32am Marcel M:

@Skirkie: My plan exactly.

9:33am ъїιι:

Gnod backwards is... is...

9:33am Cecile:

Marcel, you have to stop paying your power bills with ransom note letters.

♥ 9:33am Skirkie:

I do usually knock off some arbitrary amount though.

♥ 9:34am Dan B From Upstate:

The fine folks at turbo tax tell me I need to make at least a Y3K pledge before they consider my donation tax deductable. In my dreams. Well... In FMU's dreams, really.

9:36am f⊕f⊕ (:

Does anyone knows if WFMU accepts money for laundering?

♥ 9:36am common:

@cecile: i've been told I write like a cat.

♥ 9:36am Marcel M:

@Cecile: hah, in college once a girl leaned over and told me I wrote like a serial killer. I wasn't quite sure how to respond. I took it as her flirting.

9:36am Cheri Pi:

Oh I'm a lady all right...

9:36am Cecile:

A feral cat? Because that would be cool.

9:37am Cheri Pi:

Ken, when are you getting Pussy Riot on the show? I mix cursive and print in the same sentence, izzat normal?

♥ 9:38am bobdoesthings:

@Marcel.. Was that before/after your string of homicides?

♥ 9:39am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I actually dig pussy riot--they're no Good Throb but...

♥ 9:39am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

or Viva la Fete

♥ 9:39am common:

@cecile: Yes! how'd you know?

♥ 9:40am Marcel M:

@Cheri Pi: I connect some of my print letters to each other also.
@Bob: Its funny, as she was leaning over and reading my writing, I was writing out my post homicidal manifesto..

♥ 9:41am bobdoesthings:

isn't life funny sometimes...

9:41am Cecile:

Ken, get the Finnish hockey team on. Giant killers of the Olympics. Suomi! Sisu! Pannagakku!

♥ 9:41am Caryn:

Hmm, the Gnod gif is from the 1963 film "Beach Party". Aah, gif identification, how I've missed you.

9:42am Cheri Pi:

I think Good Throb is playing on BT's show soon, fortunes are smiling on us.

♥ 9:43am bbell:

Sending a hug, will send money later, must go earn it now!

9:43am f⊕f⊕ (:

Tomorrow Belongs to Me!!!

♥ 9:43am Caryn:

You know, the Finnish hockey team tooled around Sochi on matching bikes. They're now auctioning them to raise money for a new children's hospital. Maybe WFMU should try to get the US or Canadian hockey teams to donate some of their stuff to raise money for WFMU?

♥ 9:44am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

yeah, I think they're coming to DC too but I CAN'T FIND OUT FOR SURE. These kids today...

9:44am bibi:

hi ken.
yeah play more german music, they are generous, stop playing french stuff, they are greedy.

♥ 9:45am Dan B From Upstate:

Wow. Old Forge coming through. Upstate NY is getting represented today.

♥ 9:46am tim from champaign:

Let's go Ken!

9:46am Ghengis Jung:

You don't need a transmitter because WFMU broadcasts directly into my skull via dark magicks.

9:46am Cecile:

I heard that, Caryn.

9:46am oiry:

Yes, it's the right pronunciation : wari ! Merci Ken !

♥ 9:47am Marcel M:

I want to pet that Kangaroo or Wallaby or whatever it is. He is so fluffy!

9:47am EzSezz:

Polar vortices?

9:48am Cecile:

Ghengis! Good to see you.

♥ 9:50am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

there's Ezra Pound. Hi.

9:51am Cecile:

Play ghenghis's remix!

9:51am bibi:

Secretly We Are Giving.

9:51am Ghengis Jung:

Hi Cecile! I've been lurking for the last several... years?

9:52am Owlex:

Swag also is a low grade marijuana

9:52am Cecile:

It's like being Shaft wearing Hai Karate in 1973.

9:52am Cecile:

I have your remix on my iPod!

♥ 9:53am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

Khlam is FEKKIN BEAUTIFUL.

9:53am Cecile:

That's "swag"

♥ 9:53am bobdoesthings:

Love khlam, I'm getting Ken's Khlam! can't wait

♥ 9:53am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I thought Khlam meant trash...

♥ 9:54am Marcel M:

I requested Khlam at my funeral on that 7SD show.

♥ 9:54am tim from champaign:

Khlam is not for squares.

9:54am f⊕f⊕ (:

Khlam is love in my dictionary.

♥ 9:54am Caryn:

Ken, there's a difference between "swag" meaning robbery loot/goods and "swag" being short for "swagger".

9:55am Cecile:

What if you prance around wearing stolen goods?

♥ 9:55am Caryn:

Then you're swag in your swag.

♥ 9:55am pocket vito:

Your listeners love Khlam because we are amazing special people!! Not your average boiled potato personalities.

♥ 9:55am SeanG:

LETS DO THIS!

♥ 9:56am Caryn:

Possibly while smoking swag.

♥ 9:56am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

how in the name of all that's reasonable is Eisbaer not clicky starred???

9:58am Cecile:

Ken, did you get my note about the Richie Hawtin Dr Bootygrabber remix? Ha!!Bootygrabber came up on my auto fill.

9:59am Gordon FM:

I wasn't listening while I pledged yesterday. I've missed my moment of radio glory!

10:00am Cecile:

Pledge some more!

10:01am Cecile:

I <3 American Astronaut.

10:01am Whooda:

@Gordon, no worries, if you can manage to escape the speed of sound and zoom up about 953.000 miles due north, you should be able to catch it live. Don't forget your radio and extra batteries.

♥ 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park:

"You drink like a goat!" is going to be my new insult phrase.

♥ 10:02am common:

there is a hiiiiilarious sequence in the flick the american astronaut. everytime i hear a song off of that soundtrack i can't stop laughing............still laughing.

♥ 10:02am Scott McDowell:

Hooray for 91.1 sounding damn good without transmitter sludge! Hooray!

10:03am Irving Klaw 3:

We wuz here

♥ 10:03am Caryn:

I don't know if I'm more weirded out by the look in the drinking goat's eye, or the little goat quietly looking on like an omniscient movie baddie...

♥ 10:03am dale:

afraid to sign in - i can't donate to every show i log in to...sniff.

10:04am Whooda:

I think the black goat is thinking about how much he hates public water fountains

10:04am steve:

goats are the best. who doesn't love some goats

♥ 10:05am Caryn:

Honestly, in my mind the black goat is saying "Drink, my pretty, drink!" in the voice of Vincent Price,

♥ 10:06am Caryn:

And then cackling maniacally.

10:06am bibi:

"... from Norway"
"HELLO SWEDEN"
thank you for this dialogue Ken.

♥ 10:06am dale:

old forge prolly inundated with drunken snowmobilers this year more than usual

10:07am Ghengis Jung:

Cecile - speaking of remixes - I feel like remixing something. How about you?

10:07am Whooda:

haha Caryn, a goat 'mickey' as opposed to a 'billy' goat!

♥ 10:07am Caryn:

@bibi: just Ken's tribute to "Spinal Tap".

♥ 10:07am Andrew Waterloo:

We're forced to hear Drake here in Canada

♥ 10:08am Caryn:

@Whooda: Seriously, if the black goat had hands instead of cloven hooves, he'd be doing that Mr. Burns "Excellent!" thing right now.

10:08am Torbjørn:

Haugesund, Norway is rolling deep here today ! Let's go Norway and the rest of Scandi-land, represent !

10:08am Whooda:

Great 'unretouched' photo.
www.dailymail.co.uk...

10:09am Cecile:

Ghenghis, let's do it!

♥ 10:11am Andrew Waterloo:

Oh.. People... that CAN set is musical ambrosia.

10:11am Brendan:

Correct Ken, Canadians can use the F word on the radio with impunity as long as it is properly interspersed with Canadian content. Example:
'F'ing eh' ...

10:11am Cecile:

It is sweet. And it has "Streetcar"

10:11am Ghengis Jung:

Ken, make us remix something!

♥ 10:11am Andrew Waterloo:

@Whooda is the world really that silly now?

♥ 10:12am Caryn:

@Andrew: I think it's safe to say that The Daily Mail has been that silly for decades now.

10:13am Whooda:

@Andrew bored goberment workers trying to keep themselves entertained.

♥ 10:14am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I'll just bet the Emeralds guitar player wields a hollow body Gibson...

10:14am bibi:

@caryn. next break, ken reaches volume 11.

♥ 10:15am Caryn:

@bibi: unless he gets accidentally locked inside some weird coccoon structure first.

♥ 10:15am pocket vito:

In Quebec they have to do wacky stuff like play American pop songs that are half in English and half dubbed in French. Like "Ooh, I wanna dance with somebody...Au bout de la nuit, fais-moi danser"

10:16am Ghengis Jung:

Emeralds GIF actually a live video stream from the WFMU studios.

♥ 10:16am Andrew Waterloo:

Quebec translates stuff in to french that even France doesn't bother with.

10:17am Whooda:

Atom Anteater

10:17am Cecile:

Like stop signs.

♥ 10:17am Stevel:

What Whooda said.

♥ 10:17am Caryn:

@bibi: of course, Irwin will then cover for Ken with an impassioned acoustic version of "Lick My Love Pump".

♥ 10:19am Andrew Waterloo:

and there swear words are all church related.

♥ 10:19am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

just starred my first GIF (pronounced GHIFF)

10:19am Whooda:

Tartan sweaters make me suspicious too, I don't blame the little Kangaroo for 'getting the hell outta' there'.

10:22am Whooda:

I think that GIF is from the Daytona 500 this week. Earnhart Jr. won.

♥ 10:23am pocket vito:

A good swear is "Tabernacle!"

10:23am Cecile:

Like the smothers brothers but with cuddly 8' feral raccoons.

♥ 10:24am dale:

i won that can set last year. i'm still waiting for that streetcar!

10:24am Roland:

Chula vista is a suburb of San Diego

10:25am Whooda:

Geez, DJ Station Manager Ken, I'm not even cold to the touch yet!

♥ 10:25am Skirkie:

I look forward to the sweet embrace of death.

♥ 10:25am pocket vito:

I'm still waiting for the sex tape with Ken and Andy narrating!

10:25am fred von helsing:

Can I pledge internal organs in my will

♥ 10:25am Andrew Waterloo:

@dale, I just wish Malcolm would stop asking, cause I'm not, and we're supposed to go for coffee.

♥ 10:26am Mike East:

Thank you WFMU for introducing me to Matt Farley.

10:26am Mike from MPLS:

My mouse pledge from last year will keep going right?

♥ 10:27am dale:

danielle dax!!

10:28am Whooda:

Matt Farley movie is hilarious.
www.youtube.com...

10:28am steve:

if i werent planning on living for another few decades id definitely make some moves to put fmu in my will

♥ 10:29am MichelleinGreenBay:

Good morning! About to get my pledge on!

10:29am fred von helsing:

@dale spot on!

10:29am Ralphine:

Ray Kurzweil says that if we can hang in for a few more years, we are NOT going to die, so I ain't bothering with a will

10:30am steve:

im so glad to see other people liked the Matt Farley movie... i think its one of the best no budget movies ive ever seen. he's an inspiring guy.

♥ 10:31am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

WOLF.

10:32am midtown:

That cursing

♥ 10:32am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I'm tempted to like this tune but just can't mess with my personal god.

10:33am Whooda:

@steve I got more big belly laughs from that movie than Saturday Night Live and stuff. The humor is dry and cerebral and that makes it even funnier to me.

10:34am Gordon FM:

@Whooda - GOOD IDEA. I'll be sure to bring a towel and peanuts as well!

10:34am steve:

he told me he's going to make "Regional Legends" in a few years if he continues to rise in popularity.

10:35am Whooda:

haha "Regional Legends" That's what I'm talkin' about!

♥ 10:36am tim from champaign:

Oh yeah! Bring back the Dog Step to remind us listeners.

♥ 10:36am MichelleinGreenBay:

Whee!!

10:37am Whooda:

@Gordon, you'll also need that towel for the 'shower scene' in the movie.

♥ 10:37am Andrew Waterloo:

I shuddered when Ken mentioned that 3 hours of that unmentionable track.

10:37am steve:

Whooda - call or email him and tell him as much, he loves to hear from fans

♥ 10:39am Ike:

I agree vociferously about little kids on the radio. Dong-damn it.

10:39am Whooda:

OH MY GOD! The toliets are IN! This is a milestone, I feel like crying. It seems only yesterday that the space was just eight holes in the floor where the sun don't shine...*sniff* a rolling tear. *Sniff* just checking out the plumbing.

♥ 10:39am dale:

rich h and i have the same last name wonder if we're related in the wayback machine?

♥ 10:40am pocket vito:

Alright Vicki! I'm going to pledge to your show next Monday, I promise!!

♥ 10:40am dale:

EIGHT toilets? is it a performance space or a regurgitorium?

♥ 10:41am Mike East:

I still haven't called him...I will one of these days.

10:42am People Like Us:

thank you :) Please do! I came very short of my goal on Monday and would really like to make up for that next Monday

♥ 10:42am Sem Chumbo:

"There is a season..."

♥ 10:43am Mike East:

I got a chance to see the 91.1 transmitter yesterday. Its AMAZING that the backup transmitter is even turning on. That thing is OLD

♥ 10:44am MichelleinGreenBay:

(i love you *because* you play the Osmonds at the wrong speed...)

10:44am Whooda:

I am sorry to hear there are so many toilets. The women waiting in line for the toilet is my best 'captive audience' trolling territory.

10:44am Cecile:

KilldoZer needs to do this

♥ 10:44am common:

yay crazy horses!

10:45am Ghengis Jung:

Oh this is a classic.

♥ 10:45am tim from champaign:

Good call, Cecile!

10:46am Cecile:

If there is any beer involved 8 toilets are necessary

♥ 10:46am dale:

ken - may we hear marie singing 'paper roses' slowed down, too?

♥ 10:46am tim from champaign:

Ken, bring back Knuckles the Dog. Nothing gets people pledging like a 3 hanky tear jerker.

♥ 10:47am Andrew Waterloo:

I bet it make a good Foetus cover as well.

♥ 10:47am dale:

....or jimmy singing 'down by the lazy river' in his best jolsen at 16rpm?

10:50am slater:

yes you, Mark Ratner, pledge!

10:51am Cecile:

Holy shit. Irwin and Clay...

10:52am People Like Us:

Andy should have to go to your therapy group for a show

10:54am Cecile:

Yay Kewis!

10:54am fred von helsing:

Where the hell DO you get transmitter parts ? Somewhere in the Village ?

10:54am Cecile:

Lewis I mean

♥ 10:54am amanda c:

i was listening to 91.1 for HOURS before i even noticed the annoying screeching sound in the background. i just figured it was part of the show i was listening to.

10:54am Whooda:

DJ Station Manager Ken, was the failed component of the transmitter the solenoid safety bypass switch or that pesky muffler bearing.

10:55am fred von helsing:

@mikeEast got pix ? pls say yes

♥ 10:58am Marcel M:

I don't get the signal well in my car so when I listen to Fabio's show or similar shows I never know when the feedback is supposed to be there.

♥ 10:58am Mike East:

no fred, I spaced. epic fail. I kinda had to split ASAP cuz I was in the dog house a bit with my wife for going around running errands for a radio station instead of helping her with the baby.
I did get a pic with ken in the wfmu parking lot, though.

11:01am fred von helsing:

bathroom test !

11:01am marisa:

ken.. you doing a show in SF soon? please tell..

11:02am fred von helsing:

@mikeEast oh, reality

♥ 11:02am MichelleinGreenBay:

Just had a Pavlovian reaction to the bed music.

♥ 11:05am Caryn:

Ah, from "Bloodsport" to "They Live"... It's a veritable smörgåsbord of 80s classics.

11:06am Whooda:

that would be a "self-pity" pledge.

11:08am fred von helsing:

@mikeE like stepping into a time machine and expecting to hear War of the Worlds come crackling over the ether ?

♥ 11:09am Mike East:

lots of dusty glowing tubes, knobs, meters, and toggle switches.

11:10am steve:

oh man, thats so cool Mike, id love to watch an electrician resuscitate an old timey radio transmitter

♥ 11:10am Fine-aight:

My heart, in part, belongs to Kenzo

11:11am Ghengis Jung:

Ken, I forgive you every Wednesday. Just not monetarily.

11:12am Ralphine:

I remember that Bloodsport guy. He threw something in Van Damme's eyes to blind him, and Van Damme still kicked his ass.

11:12am fred von helsing:

@mikeE was there a Jacob's Ladder, that would make the mental image COMPLETE

steve - if you head over to the website for shortwave blowtorch wbcq you can see some transmitter pics - i think most of their stuff is wwii surplus

11:13am Whooda:

The transmitter, in parts, belongs to the listeners, hence the pitch for more money.

Those old transmitter vacuum tubes could be auctioned-off on Ebay to pay for a shiny new model.

♥ 11:14am bobdoesthings:

11:19am fred von helsing:

♥ 11:20am Andrew Waterloo:

@fred, at the end of the tour everybody contributes to the giant wad of bubble gum that holds the antenna to the tour.

♥ 11:23am tim from champaign:

11:27am steve:

11:27am jan:
