@Stepchild-I envy you that you can pick it up. May I ask your location?: I used be able to pick it up near Frelinghuysen Township NJ not to far from the Delaware Water Gap.
I can pull the FM signal in in Bushwick, but its spotty. Literally will cut out at a red light and I'll inch half a foot forward and it comes in. Comes in loud and clear in downtown Brooklyn tho.
I wanna put an FM antenna in my crawlspace type attic near Buffalo so I can pick up an awesome Jazz station from Toronto better...I have a Tivoli Stereo system which has an AWESOME built in antenna for FM....but I wanna do better...
Hey Chris. I don't want to try to split my pledge up and there would be too many anyway. But I just want to me my favorite DJs know who they are. Thanks for a great show every Thursday. And I never knew I would have gotten into music as heavy as you play sometimes. Thanks for opening my ears. Have a great marathon.
Chris, if you want to play Gordon Ramsay, you always have to call everything "the most beautiful" and "stunning". Once he started doing Masterchef, he's gotten really repetitive with his adjectives.

"Glasgow, New Jersey" is because the online form won't even let me put "default" as my state, ha ha
I'd still prefer him to Tony Bourdain. Him, you can have. This is coming from a person who once hung on his every word, and has an autographed copy of Kitchen Confidential.
Whenever Ramsay starts annoying me, I do one of two things:
1) think of the Mitchell & Webb sketch mocking Kitchen Nightmares, or
2) say to the tv, "oh please, 'Mr. Tough Guy', Marco Pierre White made you cry".
@Brian-its unfiltered so it has chunks of bacon still in it....
@Cecile-oh yeah, especially the Polish Solidarnosc candy also Wedel candy....we like a cold cut called Krakowska....
I agree with Cecile's word list. I'm also going to add the use of the word "pulled" in front of any protein. Pulled pork, pulled beef, pulled turkey...
They've now invented a new vegetarian protein (akin to soy, quorn and the like) made from oat, beans and peas. So far so good. But then they had to go call it "pulled oat" and they pissed me off royally.
@Wild Neil: all "pulled" and "jerk" things are mostly reserved in this household for wanking jokes. But for now, I'm letting it slide, since it's not such a huge buzzword over here yet. The minute every magazine is blathering about jerk this and jerk that, I'll start fuming.

after that all Melvins show the revenooers are still look for yuh!
@Listener 108581: It's a recent Finnish invention (I think by a female food scientist). I don't know if it even has an official English name, but the direct translation is "pulled oat". I'm just hoping that the English title they come up with (or have come up with) is not pulling-related.
I really don't care much for soy or seitan (apart from the punning opportunities with the latter). I like quorn, but can't afford it. I'm kinda hoping the "pulled oat" will be cheaper. And change its name.
OMG I remember Chris you playing this song like 7 times in a row the monday after last year's marathon. It was one of my favorite sets ever bc of that.
ok...imagine this world with out this amazing station....the 'sucko-shite-o meter" would really be pinned in the red!!!! LET'S ALL THINK ABOUT THAT ...
My five year old loves Cous Couse and it has some fiber so it makes him Poo Poo...better than rice, anyway...
@Cecile-I LOVE diners, especially ones with the console juke boxes....
@Cecile-We eat a lot of Russian brand Buckwheat ...it has a nice husk for texture....

Hi. Please call me stupid, but on the pledge page, for the $15 a month, it says "Pledge $180 or $15/mo and you’ll get everything above...". What is everything above? The Devo style tee? Or also the bumper sticker and membership card? And also the $50 tee? Please clarify. Many thanks!
The quinoa I buy seems to have lots of gravel in it. I never manage to rinse it enough to get the dirt out and end up chewing gravel, so I've kinda given up. I'll stick to rice, couscous and barley.
Speaking of grains, when I was a kid I would hock a lugie into my sandbox and eat that. Great texture....hope I don't have cysts in my digestive tract...
Ooh, the list of foodie hate words must also include all new meal combo words. "Brunch" is fine, it's established and has a function. But don't start with your "brinners", "luppers" and "dunches". I don't need the excuse of a dumb Frankenstein word to have eggs in the evening.

Brian: Couscous decisions are hard to make. I'm not a fan of Israeli couscous. It's just noodle balls. Might as well use Orzo.
Also, kids are clumsy and pigeons need food. Make the bean bags for the kids and they can play with them. And then if a beanbag breaks open, the child's loss becomes a pigeon feast.
My technique for cooking Spam is my general technique for cooking any inedible foodstuff: deep fry the hell out of it, smother it in ketchup, and it'll be edible. I suspect this won't work for Israeli couscous, but who knows...
@Chris-I LOVE WFMU, and I REALLY like your show Chris...I first listened to it on my 1979 Chevy Nova's stereo....thanks to my friend Pete who also turned me onto King Crimson...
I was able to do a monthly Swag for Life pledge w/Paypal last year, but if you want to change it at all (e.g. increase the amount or anything), you have to cancel it on the Paypal site yourself and start over again. Paypal won't let FMU touch it after you set it up.
If you do "bill me" you'll get an email confirmation. That confirm says that you'll get a bill soon. I believe, as last year, that bill will have a PayPal link in it. I hope it'll work that way, anyhow.
@Chris-could you, would you, play Water Deep the wobbly sounding Christian Rock band?
@Listener-I used to dislike metal, but King Crimson then Motorhead got me to like it more....
The night Obama won, I was on the streets of Portland doing vox pop interviews with people w/a KBOO news reporter and it was like VJ day, people partying in the street, pretty insane.
Pat, as I've said, metal is the most human of music. It takes the most serious issues on earth and translates them in to the most silly and ridiculous way possible.
@Ike: For Paypal subscriptions that began before March 2016, i.e. those created in KenzoDB, WFMU can indeed send you a special link that lets you adjust your Paypal monthly amount or make a cancellation.
(The KDB admin interface provides these links for sending to pledgers.) You click the link and wind up in your Paypal account where you have to authorize the change.
@kenzo - why can't i pay using paypal when i option swag 4 life, monthly $20? it is not an option on the billing page....neither is the 'bill me' option.....
Next week, Chris will give the winners' names as anagrams, and play the Countdown clock as his fellow DJ attempts to unscramble the name of the winner in 30 seconds.
I do hope listener 108581 didn't think my 'you never give me your money' post was directly commenting on them. I was just suggesting which Beatles song Chris should play.
But people should be pledging. The total is awfully low for this stage of the marathon.
