Listener comments!

🚽

6:22am -Ken:

Morgen, Schlampen!

6:41am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Bonan matenon, Ken, and good luck. V. joins you today?

6:47am (((Murakami Whywolf):

I wish I had donated to you some ringtones. The sounds of a steel bowl being knocked against the tap as water shifts in it is both beautiful and profoundly irritating.

6:52am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Are you going to auction-off station i.d. announcement rights?

6:55am Bjarne:

Guten Morgen Ken und alle anderen. Ist alles gut?

🚽

7:07am -Ken:

Hi Bjarne, Hi Murakami - Yes indeed, Vicki of People Like Us will be joining me today. Murakami, send me some of those steel bowl water sounds.

7:17am cory:

good morning Kens and non-Kens

🚽

7:24am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good snowy morning! Looking forward to a blizzard of pledges.

🚽

7:26am -Ken:

It's not snowing here unfortunately..I do hope the forecast is true but I dont think we will be lucky enough for a real blizzard

7:29am FīıīFīıī (:

Hi, Kens, cory, Murakami, Bjarne, Vicki!

Glad to be here with all the early birds.

7:30am cory:

FīıīFīıī!

7:44am FīıīFīıī (:

cory!!

Today's the golden opportunity day for Ken is in his most receptive state of DJ mind. And we all know what that means! He shall be morally obliged to play our most prohibited requests in exchange of sweet pledges. Barenaked Ladies! Rush! Pat Metheny! Here they come!

7:48am cory:

i hoping for Great White North by Rush covered by Barenaked Ladies

7:51am cory:

how can he resist all that canadian socialism?

7:59am Wild Neil:

PEACE all. Ok, I pledged and paid. My wife will ask "WHY?!" I owe WFMU so much, it was the least I could do. Good luck with the Marathon! Ken, can you play some Blues Traveler? They did Gloria by Them if you can find it.......according to the WFMU band browser WFMU has NEVER played it! I get the impression WFMU thinks Blues Traveler sucks. Not sure why, I think they are pretty good! A little corny, maybe....but if you can play Styx, why not play BT?

8:02am Wild Neil:

Gloria by BT:www.youtube.com...

8:04am Wild Neil:

Hey! I have a heart!!!!YAY!!!!!!!

🚽

8:11am -Ken:

Hi all - Marathon is the only time of the year that i DONT play requests. But 23 extra Kenpoints go to to anybody who makes a marathon-ready request.

8:12am Wild Neil:

I predict you will play Porest, Ken.

🚽

8:15am -Ken:

That's a prediction and a good prediction! But not a request

8:17am FīıīFīıī (:

Ken,

Oh, c'mon, Ken! Look into your heart. What is the problem with playing Pat Metheny?

Oh, I see. So let me think of another band. Got it! What about Pat Metheny Group?

🚽

8:20am Ken From Hyde Park:

Bachman-Turner Overdrive "Gimme Your Money Please"

8:27am FīıīFīıī (:

Ken From HP,

You haven't delighted us yet with your poetry composition today, you GIFted Bard!

P.S. Pat Metheny plays marathonic jazz guitar solos (i.e. perfectly complies with today's request policy.

🚽

8:28am -Ken:

OK. Pat Metheny, BTO and Blues Traveler, coming right up! Thank you all.

🚽

8:28am -Ken:

f0f0, that's Listener Robert who does the GIF poetry

8:30am Losermom:

Snowday! Perfect day for a fundraiser.

8:37am FīıīFīıī (:

Ken,

Thanks for the clarification! I typed Listener Robert but some how it changed.... Damn you autocorrect!

Wait..I don't have the autocorrect function!

8:50am vodkaand:

Ken! I'm excited I get to listen live for once instead of on tape-delay after work.

8:54am Lizardner Dave:

9:02am Guido from Cologne:

Hello everyone!

9:02am JFR:

LEMON SCENT

9:03am Aaron Not Working In Newark:

I have a 100 dollar pledge for heavy metal at 11:00am

9:03am Wild Neil:

The Fall-(uh)?

9:03am Lixiviated Life:

hey kenny

9:04am queems:

whoo hoo

9:04am geoff mcq:

Hello Ken, Hello Vicki. Hello world!

9:04am Mandy:

I'm so happy I can actually see the GIFs today from the safety of my NSFW home

9:05am TDK60:

How can there be so many comments here already?

9:05am Stepchild:

Feeling a strange compulsion. Must... succumb...

9:05am Wild Neil:

@TDK-Ken starts the board at 6am or so!

9:05am adampsyche:

melinda/scott from tennesee get in touch, sounds like we'll all be there tomorrow morning

9:05am dale:

i have a dumb phone - would ken's premium still tittilate and delight me?

9:06am Lixiviated Life:

@dale i doubt it

9:06am Listener Robert:

FiiFii, are you saying Listener Robert autocorrects to Negative Ken? Neither of us got to use our regular names as handles, so that must throw off autocorrect.

9:07am Lixiviated Life:

... but what have ya got to lose?

9:07am TDK60:

That's really the Fall? Or a Hoof and Mouth member?

9:08am FīıīFīıī (:

TDK60,

Not only is tTe Fall but it is The Fall live on air from the WFMU studio! Yes, miracles happen!

9:08am queems:

@mandy SAME

9:09am Mandy:

Just for Ken's Valentine's Day show I'd pledge. Because that was historic radio

9:10am Vincent Nifigance:

Wow, I never knew the Mighty Fall came to FMU HQ.

9:11am TDK60:

Wow! What year was that the Fall helped with a Marathon?

🚽

9:12am Webhamster Henry:

Gonzo is Judas!

9:13am Wild Neil:

Mumathones is a clicky star!

9:13am Lixiviated Life:

Manager Ken, looks like the revolt has begun.

9:14am FīıīFīıī (:

TDK60, Vincent,

The Fall is IN the studio now. Or at least that's what I understand (note: I never understand anything).

9:15am melinda:

@adam I'll be there 9-12

9:16am Ralphine:

What's this I hear about a a petition to create a national holiday for Bill Graham? He was a decent concert promoter, but I don't think any concert promoter deserves a national holiday.

9:16am Wild Neil:

What is this music now? @9:16??

9:17am Wild Neil:

C'mon, pledge, I did and I KNOW my wife will yell at me for this!!!

9:18am Uncle Michael:

The Amazing Crapola is my magician name.

9:18am vodkaand:

The Cold Sweats

9:18am Roberto:

I've become obsessed with MCS by Christo Graham. I'm holding out hope it'll be a fully realized production someday.

9:18am dale:

ralphine - whatever happened to separation of church and state? how did the man get lie in repose in the capitol rotunda?

9:19am Stepchild:

How does one go about getting pledges announced using their accuplaylist nickname, rather than "real name"? I know I've heard that happen...

9:19am Mandy:

It's like coming back th school to you kids after having a sub for the day :P

🚽

9:19am yippie:

im so happy to hear you 2 together. also ken it was totally genius to play almighty opp last week

9:19am bnowb:

I think I am in love with Vikki :) hehe

9:20am Mandy:

When a friend from Newcastle came to visit NJ he immediately remarked on all the Native American town names.

9:20am TDK60:

The English accent is so exotic. Always a charm to hear.

9:21am jdubz:

do you actually get this many donations from metuchen or is it a joke?

9:21am Stepchild:

I'm from wherever Vikki says I'm from

9:21am melinda:

I just pledged, maybe I'll get the MCS!

9:21am Wild Neil:

Ok, I went Gluten free and dairy free and I feel 100 times better!

9:21am FīıīFīıī (:

Good! The best way to show your admiration for Vicki is pledging lovely sums of money.

9:21am bnowb:

OMG 100 KEN Ringtones.. Thats awesome!!!!

🚽

9:22am yippie:

almighty opp has been making free music and puppet shows for about 15 years in LA

9:22am Ralphine:

Stepchild, I've heard that if you call in the pledge and tell the volunteer to use your screen name, that sometimes works. Or put it in the comments section of your pledge form if you pledge online.

9:22am TDK60:

Bill Graham and Billy Graham will settle things with an arm wrestle back in the green room.

9:24am Ralphine:

Dale, I agree wholeheartedly.

9:24am FīıīFīıī (:

Bill Graham, Christo Graham, Billy Graham. I can't keep track of so many Grahams! But whoever did the Jesus Christ Puppet Star is my Graham.

9:26am Asheville Jon:

I'm in for $50 if today, at 11am (eastern usa time zone), during his regular show, Ken plays the original, unmutilated in any way, felder version/heavy metal album release takin' a ride/heavy metal song, in its entirety, uninterrupted for any reason, and then says he really does love that song in a sincere voice

9:27am bnowb:

Kermit.... Who knew? WOW this is amazing!!!!

9:27am jdubz:

I JUST CRIED THIS IS AMAZING! i am pledging

🚽

9:28am yippie:

ken and Vicki are the real thekenschlampen freak DJs at wfmu

9:28am Roberto:

Damn this is great.

9:28am People Like Us:

Good morning everyone! The volunteers are taking over People Like Us account! Pledge your heart out! We want to hear your calls and talk to you! Lets be all be one!

9:29am Ken From Hyde Park:

A veritable cavalcade of radio station problems waiting for solutions: www.vimeo.com...

Natasha is a dud.

9:31am geoff mcq:

Jesus Christ this America song is awful.

9:32am The Oscar:

Up here in Boston this is the only weather source I trust: weatherishappening.com

9:34am Vincent Nifigance:

@TheOscar: My God, it's BEAUTIFUL!

9:34am Asheville Jon:

Did FMU sell the parking lot?

9:35am Greg from ZONE 5:

Happy Snow Day, Ken & Vicki!

9:35am Listener Robert:

I hope the $1.5M goal includes retirement of some debt.

9:35am TDK60:

Ken, do you know the WFMU audio on internet is interrupted (silence) for a few seconds every once in a while? Started noticing last night on Irene's show.

🚽

9:35am Guido from Cologne:

did I hear my name? :-D

9:35am Wild Neil:

Re:separation of church and state, here is the #2 answer from Duck Duck Go (right after Wikipedia's).www.allabouthistory.org...
Disclaimer: some would say it is biased, but I think it is fair.

9:36am TDK60:

It could be on my end though.

9:36am Jersey Cowboy:

Wow - I forgot about the flying lizards - good stuff

9:37am Wild Neil:

I think I want to get a Wineguard omnidirectional FM antenna and put it outside. However, I have a Tivoli stereo that has a very good tuner and built in antenna. Thoughts?

9:39am People Like Us:

this is Vicki, but Carlo is typing for me too - call in!

9:39am adampsyche:

oh nice human fly (cover?)

9:40am Vincent Nifigance:

@TDK60 @SM KEN - I don't experience any dropouts via the app.

9:40am Wild Neil:

Cover of The Horseflies?

9:41am Vincent Nifigance:

@WildNeil Good on you for the pledge, hope the wife doesn't find out!

9:41am People Like Us:

Carlo, Rachel and Greg are waiting for your calls!

9:41am Wild Neil:

@VN-oh, she will, she manages all our expenses! She will know via her smartphone!

9:42am Vincent Nifigance:

Volounteer Carlo is from Portugal. He may be able to shed some light on Chad Kroeger's eternal question...

9:43am Morphe:

This is Tantric Marathon Sex - I want to pledge now (ejaculation metaphor) but I am waiting, withstaining(not staining???), waiting to soak(sex metaphor) Andy....

9:43am For Real:

Hey Ken who do I talk to adopt a DJ?

9:43am dale:

wild neil - i have a model one and sometimes i have to move the long wire it came with around to get a station, so an outdoor antenna might be a good idea. have you tried an fm dipole like the ones that come with stereo receivers?

9:43am Jersey Cowboy:

Wow - nice cover.

9:43am TDK60:

Thanks Vincent, maybe it's my connection at home. I'm using the WFMU Popup option, FYI.

9:44am Blix:

'Dozer!

9:44am steveo:

Good morning Ken. I hope you're having a pleasant marathon.

9:45am FīıīFīıī (:

I heard Killdozer has a song about a dog. I don't think I have ever heard that one in this show.

9:45am Wild Neil:

@Dale, no long wire came with mine. I heard it has a cell phone chip inside! I tried a home made one but I need to use a 75 ohm balun for the Coax connection. I should try that with a factory made antenna! Its only a couple of bucks!

9:45am Ike:

Hey everybody, don't wait until week 2 to pledge like everybody else! DO IT NOW and you have a better chance of winning a prize, plus you'll make the DJs less anxious!

9:45am Vincent Nifigance:

@WildNeil Tell her WFMU stands for "Weekly Flower... something , something..." and give her a posey every week.

9:45am steveo:

i love this song so much that i even like this version

9:46am khd:

only version of cinnamon girl i can stand

9:46am Sebastian:

mmmmh, Killdozer
good morning!

9:47am Stevel:

WFMU: Its like petting a horse.

9:48am Brendan:

For me its like petting my monkey

9:49am dale:

wild neil - the chip is for web radio via bluetooth, no?

9:49am βrian:

Bovine Radio? Where would that play?

Say, has there been discussion about how to load these ring tones onto one's iPhone?

9:50am Wild Neil:

@Stevel-horses are awesome creatures! I had a couple lessons at a local ranch. They have a donkey named donkey.
@Dale, no bluetooth on mine. Guess I misunderstood.

9:52am TDK60:

I wish I was a church so I didn't pay taxes. Oh, now I get separation of church and state!

9:52am Wild Neil:

Big Blood did a great great great song that is a cover of a Sumatran song. I heard it on Melinda's show I think. Its on the FMA.

9:53am dale:

try some rabbit ears if you have any around. fm radio is basically where channel 6 is on the vhf band. not that it would be permanent but just to see if it improves reception.

9:54am TDK60:

Big Blood is really climbing the WFMU Charts.

9:54am Greg from ZONE 5:

THIS SONG IS FYAHH!

9:56am Stevel:

Wild Neil: I used to have regular contact with horses. Miss 'em! Also, pretty sure the next WFMU mascot needs to be a Donkey.

9:57am Wild Neil:

Indang Parinam! By Big Blood on FMA:freemusicarchive.org...

9:58am Brendan:

Nanuk!

9:59am TDK60:

Saw Big Blood at Monty Hall. You could sense the stardom in their future.

🚽

9:59am AnAnonymousParty:

Lord help me but did I just spend money on this again?

10:00am ButtWeenies:

Big Blood is lit as the kids say. I’ll be in Maine I. May... wonder if they perform at lobster hut.

10:02am TDK60:

Maine is surely the next Haight Ashbury, the next Brooklyn.

10:02am queems:

a hot jam

10:03am bnowb:

Stoned!

10:03am ButtWeenies:

Schoodic Peninsula Maine is a hotbed of cultural activity

10:04am TDK60:

A combo named after a LeGuin book? Huh.

10:04am Stevel:

GIF action is dead on the beat. I am completely transfixed and will be doing no more work today.

10:04am queems:

yeah that gif is fire

10:04am ButtWeenies:

Song sounds like ken pretending to be a South Africa band

10:04am geoff mcq:

@stevel Ditto.

10:05am Colleen:

@queems...agreed!

10:07am FīıīFīıī (:

I think we found the song (I Wanna Get Stoned) for the great Marathon Finale.

10:07am steveo:

say "tacos"!

10:08am FīıīFīıī (:

Leicester. That's unpossible to pronounce.

10:09am People Like Us:

Absolutely not.

10:09am Vincent Nifigance:

Don't listen to Vicki, she's from dahn sarf and says "Clarss" instead of class, "Glarss" instead of glass and "Grarss" instead of grass, among other abominations!

10:11am Aaron Not Working In Newark:

Do you accept FelderCoin?

🚽

10:11am Webhamster Henry:

WFMU does community, and provides a soundtrack!

10:12am Vincent Nifigance:

@AaronNotWorkingInNewark Feldollars!

10:12am ButtWeenies:

The great thing about British people is you can’t tell if they mispronounced something or pronouncing it better than us. I’ll donate 20 more if Delia says aluminum

🚽

10:12am AnAnonymousParty:

WFMU starts a party that keeps on going even after the DJ packs up and leaves.

10:12am People Like Us:

the only cryptocurrency we accept is M.E.S.Coin-uh

10:13am TDK60:

I'll donate more if she says "Cheers mate!"

🚽

10:14am Webhamster Henry:

You could call the WFMU phone stream in the pre-sattelite, pre-streaming days.

10:14am βrian:

WCBN is still a good station (except for the endless events announcements). It's where I go to escape Matt's Heavy Metal.

10:14am Paul from Canterbury:

My discovery story is that I heard WFMU name-checked in a Jeffrey Lewis song.

10:14am Wild Neil:

I was hanging out in a farmers field in NJ in 1985 with a friend from high school smoking weed. It was suggested we try to tune in 91.1 FM. I could kind of pick it up in rural Warren County.

10:15am Vincent Nifigance:

I think I first heard of WFMU because Daniel Johnston appeared via phone performing a number of fairly terrifying songs/skits. (The Daniel Johnston Hour from Nick Hill's show, Feb 4th 1990) www.youtube.com...

10:17am People Like Us:

There will be no more Britishisms, but there WILL be hot jams. Donate now!

10:18am northguineahills:

Now I want to go to Andre Williams' funeral. Hope it's not any time soon.

I believe I read about WFMU in '98 in The Wire. I just started my first real job, and they had the bandwidth to actually listen to the tinny WFMU signal. I would listen when I was the only one left in the office at night. (this was in FL).

10:18am Sam:

A cool Belgian guy from college first turned me on to WFMU

10:18am The Oscar:

I had several points of tangential exposure to WFMU long before I got to regularly listen. Songs in the Key of Z was pretty much my bible in high school, and I found a bootleg DVD of a couple of the Irritainment specials at Kim's (RIP) on a trip down to NYC, which remains one of the most played discs in my collection.

10:19am Roberto:

In 2002 my friend and co-worker had the Hip Transistor playlist open on her monitor. I asked her wtf is the Hip Transistor and why tf is a sports columnist hosting it.

10:20am bnowb:

Kropotkins!! Hell yea I still have. this CD sounds horrible but its an amazing LP, no bad songs.

10:21am TDK60:

Vicky, can you say "Brilliant!"?

10:21am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Since the last storm took off a bit of our roof, we haven't found anyone to repair it, and I now have balance defects that make roof-crawling inadvisable, we are _not_ rooting for as big a storm as possible.

10:21am Sam:

What the pallbearers don't know is there's actually a guy hidden inside that twinkie.

10:21am People Like Us:

Brilliant.

10:21am Sem:

#strokingnation

10:22am FīıīFīıī (:

The first time I heard WFMU was in 1886. Radio wasn't invented yet BUT the DJs would send you a parcel with the music sheets so you could sing along at home.

10:22am TDK60:

I'm an old friend of Peter K.

10:22am βrian:

And he's been in there for decades.

10:22am Vincent Nifigance:

Come to think of it, maybe I was first exposed to WFMU because of 'Langley Schools Music Project'.

10:23am herb.nyc:

this stroke-y song reminds me of what Prof. Dum Dum said, maybe 9hrs ago: "i know where to put my fingers on a typewriter but not on a woman".

10:23am Sam:

If you call 911 and say I'm stroking they might think you're having a stroke. And send some hot paramedics over.

10:23am geoff mcq:

I first heard of WFMU around ten years ago at a radio event in London when Julie Shapiro (then of the Third Coast Festival now of Radiotopia) played out some Benjamen Walker stuff and compared FMU to Resonance FM.

10:23am ⓔⓘⓘⓘⓘⓚ:

1) None of your business, Clarence. 2) Nope. 3) Nuh-uh. 4) Negatory. 5) No, I'm not going to do that, but thanks.

10:23am bnowb:

Sorry officier I was stroking lol I had a cop pull me over and shine light like way too long on my stroking area. lol it was AWKWARD

10:24am TDK60:

You don't want to know *when* I first heard WFMU.

10:24am feedbackloop:

I once went to a wedding where the bride sang Strokin' with her new husband.

10:24am Vincent Nifigance:

@bnowb On your BMX?!!! Kidding.

10:24am MD:

And when we get old... We Can Stroke Out! Sorry! Too real? Too early?!?!?

10:25am bnowb:

saying "how ya going you ok how ya going" I shouldn't' said What? .. I been stroking

10:25am bnowb:

should've ... Lol Vincent ;)

10:26am ⓔⓘⓚ:

I don't know. I think maybe something about Clarence's police story might lack credibility?

10:26am FīıīFīıī (:

feedbackloop,

That's a sign of a log lasting marriage.

10:27am dale:

i was at my nephews wedding at a posh country club and the bride and bridesmaids all got on the floor ans started twerking. my wife and i were horrified for some reason

10:27am (((Murakami Whywolf):

I was trying to find "The Hour of Slack" and Sister Kris[?] c.1994C.E. during a typically fraught split trip back to the parents' places. I caught Bronwyn reading the News of the Dead,and as I'd neglected to stuff my ears with wax, I was drawn on to my doom.

10:27am Sam:

Can you play some music in Welsh?

10:27am MD:

Good Morning My fellow Marathon Lovers!
POOR TWINKIE!

10:28am Vincent Nifigance:

Yes, we sound great speaking English, but we can't speak Welsh for shit.

10:28am MD:

10:28am steveo:

10:28am TDK60:

Ken, I can't find my checkbook, I use it so rarely. But I pledge to pledge. You have carried Form Free Radio into the Future here.

10:28am People Like Us:

The next one of you to demand a Welsh pronunciation is banned for life from the Horse Hospital.

10:28am Dean:

Horse hospital, not horsuschpittle

10:28am Mandy:

@Sam I think Gwenno is Welsh?

10:29am Linda Lee:

Ken & Vicki! fantastic!

10:29am βrian:

@dale: You have to respect their strong twerk ethic.

10:29am Sam:

I wish Ken and Vicki were my parents

10:30am bnowb:

28% chance of 2 feet of snow 72% chance it just doesn't. matter.

10:31am Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

Oh boy! I won something and I have no idea what it is!

10:31am MD:

IT'S DA FUZZZZ! BEAT IT!!!

10:31am TDK60:

We want some Welsh music. Ffa Coffi Pawb?, Meic Stevens? The Alarm? Dylan Thomas?

10:31am Linda Lee:

amazing ring tones!!

10:31am FīıīFīıī (:

I hope Sir Matthew Warwick didn't hijack Ken's ringtones.

10:31am MD:

23 Skadoo!

10:32am dale:

10:32am bnowb:

I need KEN's Ringtone Premium !!!!!

10:32am Dean:

Man

10:32am FīıīFīıī (:

Karen in Sleepy Hollow,

I think you won something about an Andre. Not Andre the Giant, unfortunately.

10:32am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Then, a few years later in the used record store through which we met the roommate whose friends got me the start of my coding career-oid thing, I bought a copy of the "Seven Second Delay" CD—I found a lot of it cruel, but hiding the afikomen near the New Jersey Turnpike inspired….

10:32am Mandy:

What about one for TAKIN' A RIDE???? #FelderNation

10:33am Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

And I’m gonna need that ringtones premium.

🚽

10:33am Ken From Hyde Park:

Does the CD come with a tone that signals Alexa to automatically send a pledge to WFMU?
Voivod! !! !!!

10:33am Dean:

Wait, which Porest album? The split with PLU?

10:33am TDK60:

VOIVOD! The best Quebec metal in French North America!

10:33am Cheri Pi:

!VOIVOD!

Ken, when is VOIVOD comin' to Le Monty Hall?

10:57am Linda Lee:

10:57am Evan From Seattle:

They should. I have to think someone has requested it already. If not they should have. I might have to make another special pledge just for that!

🚽

10:58am Ken From Hyde Park:

It should be possible to modify the ringtones to be various computer tones such as the startup / shutdown things, close window, you've got mail, and so on.

10:58am Mandy:

People,

I just received this urgent telegram.

.
.

Fellow East Banananers,

The Affairs Committee of the East Banana Supreme People's Assembly, the basic mission of which is to promote friendly relations with peace-loving people, bitterly condems you for not pledging any money to the WFMU cause. It is an intolerable insult to the East Banana people, a declaration of war against the Democratic East Banana Republic (DEBR) and a grave threat to free-form radio.

So please pledge NOW!

Ken Jong-un.
Eternal president, great leader, chairman, supreme leader, dear respected of the East Banana Republic.

11:02am Linda Lee:

lucky Vicky!

🚽

11:02am ifeelfatnsassy:

The Slew? Awesome.

11:02am dgg:

Anyone else getting these emails from Easst Banana princes that just need your bank acct number? Is this legit?

11:02am Sam:

That legal ID was so boring

11:03am Chud:

Did Ken do the station ID? Without the Zebra Trucks, I can't tell anymore.

11:04am Evan From Seattle:

I've gotten almost as used to the Zebra Trucks as I have Felder.

11:04am Asheville Jon:

well, looks like ken doesn't want my $$

11:05am Sam:

If East Banana needs your account number, for god's sake give it to them. Who are you? Just a worm! How can you put your own interests ahead of the glory of East Banana??

11:05am Wild Neil:

Pledge something, ANYthing! Keep freeform music ALIVE!!!!!!!

11:05am Linda Lee:

i'm sure he'd accept it unconditionally, Jon!

11:05am βrian:

So whatever happened with those WFMU orange traffic cones? Were they retired and given away as premiums?

11:06am Sam:

Christie took the cones and put them on the GWB

11:06am dgg:

@Sam you're right Sam. Its just my bank account. Really these are just material goods, while East Banana is spiritual foreverness.

11:44am Beast of Boonton:

That was then, now songs just get 'poopy fluted'

11:44am Dean:

It is similar in concept to Bob Ostertag's "Say No More." Ostertag oversaw a quartet improvisation, which he then scored. The same quartet played the scored version of what they'd originally produced spontaneously. I think he then asked them, again, to reproduce without a score the version they performed from the score...or something like that.

11:44am FīıīFīıī (:

C'mon! Everybody knows Nancarrow in the WFMU land!

11:45am TDK60:

If Felder was played today or on any other day donations would collapse like in a Wall Street Black Friday.

11:55am steveo:

"Gottschalk" is essentially a pious, idiomatic expression that means "God's Servant."
