Had my first ever run in with a FMU fan out in nature yesterday at my kid's baseball game of all things. He pointed at my woof-moo hoodie and said he loves the ichiban stream. I told him there are literally dozens of us. I wonder how many years til I run into another fan in the wild.
While I was in New Orleans a few weeks ago, someone pointed at my Dead Air shirt and exclaimed 'WFMU' - turned out to be a resident of Jersey City. Last encounter had to be a few years ago.
The WFMU underground is alive and well in upstate NY. I live in a tiny hamlet and just a week ago a young hipster couple out for a walk commended my on my WFMU magnetic car medallion. I'll bet we're even strong enough to elect Ken for president of something.
The time has come to play the Schlammpeitziger goat song. You haven't played it in a long long time. Thing is I still don't know its title BUT by accident I found out it is actually a remix of a Wevie Stonder tune!! ('A Buddha made of Mud' from The Bucket album).
I hope by playing the Wevie Stonder original version will give us clues on where to find the the Schlammy remix (which by the way, is a Ken listener's dream come true: goats, scat singing, and presumably Schlammy singing).
Yes, of course you played it before like in the 2007-2009 years but I can't find it perhaps because it was misfiled with another name.
Anyway, according to the Wevie Stonder Wiki page it is from a remix album made in 2007 called 'A Buddha Made of Mud' which only adds to the confusion (The Bucket is from 2009).
If you play Wevie's Buddha version have the DUMP button at the ready. It starts with an expletive (music starts at 25 secs)
Also, in case any metal is played today I'd suggest The Who Boys / Devils is Dead
Cory: You do. The amazing thing is that I've never actually been in there, after living around here since 1988. 9-mile is a great mid option, although I'm sure you're due for a night out in jolly old Fort Wayne.
Is there any other Spanish native speaker here that can explain me what the heck was going on with that weird and bizarre Smurfs story sang by Edson Velandia?
Re: Goats, I suppose there's no chance of you playing your legendary interview of John Darnielle on SSD a few years back.

Good morning!! I love all of the gif images. Speaking of "'make America obey again" ... heard about a study correlating support for trump with preference for more authoritarian parenting style.
I think what Dave from Toronto is trying to say is 'i can't quit you'. Kinda like eating too hot pizza. Or eating that ice cream that gives you brain freeze.
Ken I am wondering if this is the sound of you actually managing the station with your 96 eyes and buzz, buzz, buzz, in deference to Dave from Toronto's wishes?
@cory & @Stevel, I booked a Thumbscrew show (Mary Halvorson, Michael Formanek, and Tomas Fujiwara] at Radio Radio on June 1st. The venue is in Indianapolis down in Fountain Square. Joyful Noise had a small record shop near, if you dig their releases. Thumbscrew is mind blowing jazz trio. They just released a new record on Cuneiform Records. We have a crappy facebook event invite, if you wanna check it out - www.facebook.com...
when Ken said "I run into WFMU listeners a lot. especially if I wear my SM Ken mask.", maybe 7SD can have a "face off" thing - he and Andy swap faces! during marathon time.
hrm, should i buy some acid today or make cream of mushroom soup?

sometimes I wonder what would had happened to the metal scene if Les Claypool (Primus) had landed the bass role in Metallica he applied for but didn't got.
I suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that a subset of English sentences interesting on quite independent grounds raises serious doubts about irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. On our assumptions, this analysis of a formative as a pair of sets of features can be defined in such a way as to impose nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory. By combining adjunctions and certain deformations, the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction is necessary to impose an interpretation on a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories. For any transformation which is sufficiently diversified in application to be of any interest, this selectionally introduced contextual feature does not readily tolerate the levels of acceptability from fairly high (eg (99a)) to virtual gibberish (eg (98d)). It must be emphasized, once again, that the earlier discussion of deviance does not affect the structure of the traditional practice of grammarians.
@Cory. Audioengine has good powered and non powered speakers for not a fortune. Have heard good tgubgs about Klipsch RP 150M, also not too expensive (they have more expensive ones as well).
davefromtoronto said "HORRIBLE". which reminds me of Latke from "taxi". did he say something like "it was so bad it was terrible". anyway, don't tell Ken, but i'm listening to Matt's GARBAGE TIME now. maybe davefromtoronto would like to join me.
@cory: RE: Acid or soup- Go with both. Just bring enough for the rest of us. Or better yet, is that offer to call up your mom and pretend to be you still open? I'll do it for a couple hits... and a bowl of the soup.
back during the Clinton years, News of the Weird's CHUCK SHEPHERD created euphemisms. instead of saying ASSHOLE, he used ORENTHAL. instead of penis, he used CLINTON. instead of the lady's part, he used DWORKIN. who knows what the f- and s-words are?
Great garbage diversion tactic there, Mr herb.nyc.

Chomskybot:
Glenn: so far, relational information is unspecified with respect to an important distinction in language use. Nevertheless, a descriptively adequate grammar is not quite equivalent to a descriptive fact. This suggests that a subset of English sentences interesting on quite independent grounds delimits the strong generative capacity of the theory. Analogously, this selectionally introduced contextual feature cannot be arbitrary in nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory. It appears that most of the methodological work in modern linguistics is not subject to a parasitic gap construction.
Noam Chomsky was invited to a math conference at City College, maybe late 80s. i'da loved to have met him and then say "wait, i thought Nim Chimpsky was invited!?".
@Cory. Suit yourself, I find it makes family gatherings much more interesting. I mostly wanted to advertise my willingness to provide goods or services in exchange for acid and soup.

Ken mentioned Bathrooms and LBGT and bla bla, and i saw KIKI & HERB: SEEKING ASYLUM at joe's pub a couple of wks ago. kiki told us this bathroom thing is ridiculous, and that no one should tell us where to go. so she suggests "if you wanna go to the bathroom, just do it right where you are!" (or something like that) oh that kiki.

To provide a constituent structure for VOIVOD, the natural general principle that will subsume this case cannot be arbitrary in a descriptive fact. We have already seen that a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort is rather different from irrelevant intervening contexts in VOIVOD. So far, the notion of level of grammaticalness does not affect the structure of the levels of acceptability from fairly high (eg (99a)) to VOIVOD (eg (98d)). I suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that the theory of syntactic features developed earlier delimits the ultimate standard that determines the accuracy of any proposed VOIVOD. It must be emphasized, once again, that the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial is to be regarded as a general convention regarding the forms of VVVVVVVVOOOOIIIIVVVVOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!111!!!`~~~!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!

I have heard that "voivod" is Canadian slang for a dildo.
just sayin'...
@Bobdoesthings: I also live under the persistent delusion that someday Station Manager Ken will address me directly in the comments, and that will lead to a dialogue, in which he will discover that I would be a perfect fit on the WFMU staff. Then he'll whisk me away to Jersey City where I will will contently work until the day I collapse and die at my desk listening to miracle nutrition reruns from the archive. After that, I think maybe I'll haunt The music library... or Monty Hall, if they ever raise enough money for that snow cone machine, But then again, as I write this, I realize that's not exactly within the realm of "keeping sane," now is it?
it just occurred to me that Iggy sounds like that stop smoking guy you sometimes play, Ken.

Cheri Pi,
Sorry for having shouted Voivoid! on your behalf. I tought you weren't here! But then again it took me ages to type every single 'O'. I have an artisanal approach when shouting band names in here.
You're more on the money than you know, Bob... 'scuse me, I think I forgot something in my car. If my eyes are a bit red when I come back, it's just allergies. Yeah, that's it... allergies...
Dangerously close to that precipice of crap earlier, Ken, but you gained control and pulled it out. Hopefully in the future you pulling it out won't be an issue.
