Pictured Above: The Grand Prize for Today's Programme: Lemmy "Jesus" Kilmister with unidentified friend, in Glorious Black Velvet. Pledge $30 a month or more to today's programme to be in the running for this beauty.
Nardwuar: I heard you once had a job walking donkeys along the beach. Kids would be on donkeys-
Lemmy: That was in Wales.
N: What was that job all about? This seems interesting! Lemmy of Motorhead walking donkeys with kids on the beach.
L: Well, I didn't do that. I used to take rides in school. I used to ride horses, not donkeys.
N: Did you ever wear those tights at all? They were sort of a precursor to Spandex, those biking-
L: What?
N: Those tights? Biking tights?
L: Tights?
N: Tights, you know. Tights for when you're riding a horse.
L: I don't understand. What do you mean?
N: You know like when you see people when they're riding a horse, they wear tight pants, tights, special-
L: Jumpers?
N: Yeah.
L: Tights are what we call pantyhose. Okay, yes. I didn't wear pantyhose much.
Oh, hey, Google Chrome now has a "Mute Site" which mutes that site forever until you unclick it (right click on the tab). Yay, no more sonic interruptions.
What velvet painting will replace Lemmy? I think we should pledge for a Don Felder painting. Every Tuesday morning at 11:00, people will flock to it, awaiting a miracle that his song won't be interrupted.
you have a phone in your hallway? wow! i have to walk a mile (in the snow, up hill, both ways, with no shoes) just to use the pay phone on the corner at the convenience store

Elizabeth NYC:
Ken! Huge fan here. Gateway drug was Greasy Kids Stuff. Sent $365 check yesterday. But no swag for me. I am not worthy.
I knew a guy who said he worked for a guy(machine shop I think) that stopped buying toilet paper to save money. Soon thereafter the guy quit and found a new job.
The Hype-free zone is crucial - I have argued for strings-attached funding in the past and I was WRONG!!!! This commitment is real and unbending and it really matters!

I think Wild Neil was asking you if you have SnapChat, Ashville Jon
A small amount of snow can cause big problems if everyone drives on it and condenses it into something slippery, with no sand or salt trucks. Maybe not one inch, though.
Asheville John. I have been to Asheville. I spend every summer in the Outer Banks. You're absolutely right. Please don't vacation or visit NC. It's terrible. Rental prices are much too expensive. Just don't vacation there people. Go to DelMarVa instead.
@Asheville-I am sorry Buffalo keeps sending Western New Yorkers down there with their "supposedly better work ethic". Somebody actually told me that and I thought it was incredibly parochial and short-sighted. Thoughts? I lived in the SouthWest (NM) and think its a better, slower pace of life. I AM a redneck also, and educated one so I know why you are saying that.
@Brian yes. People in cold climates like to pat themselves on the back for their 'work ethic' but really it's a byproduct of staying in motion to keep warm.
@Asheville Jon: It's def too full, they are wandering around lost, after having migrated from cold places and are now confused and overdosed on high blood pressure medicine, missed their Palm Coast exit and now driving too slowly on roads that have curves and hills, looking through, rather than over their steering wheels.
need coffee. too lazy to get up out of chair to go make it. should probably just go back to sleep, but that would also involve getting up out of the chair. and at that point i could just as easily be making coffee. what to do...

Sam:
You'd think Putin would be satisfied with what he's done. But no, he just keeps pushing the asshole envelope to ridiculous levels. Poisoning people, messing with elections, god, what a dick. Just retire already and live it up in your dacha, you dumbass!
My problem with THE THE is that I have never known which article in Spanish refers to? Is it EL EL? Or is it LA LA? Or is it the neutra LO LO? Help me!
@F$F$ (: - kind of looks like my heart from here, but tell me... is it covered with dainty little foot prints, like a beautiful angel from heaven stomped it into the cold mud again and again without even caring that I would do anything for her?
If you want to make Ken uncomfortable, bring up grey-area scenarios where he might be temped and conflicted about possible commercialism -- far from outright corruption. Actually you can make a LOT of people uncomfortable by making them confront the boundaries of their ethics. Because they're good but also ambitious people.
EL CIRCULOOOOOOOO!!! The best song that insults the British Royals, threatens the British Naval Forces with a sky 'surprise' by night, a land 'surprise' by day if they attempt to enter the (Antartic) Circle which by mere coincidence covers the Falkland/Malvinas Island area that there is!!!!
Obviously Gargage Time refers to the 11AM playing of Felder's Heavy Metal. Not to be confused with Donkey Time! Which is about NOT playing Heavy Metal.
That depends on the type of doctor. My mom's a retired GP pediatrician and would not have been able to afford $1000 a week. However I went to school with the son of a spinal surgeon whose dad definitely COULD afford $1000/wk
I also have a 3rd cousin who was a doctor, a lot of his money was tied up in legal fees and court proceedings due to the controversial nature of his work.
Garbage time is near the end of a timed team contest when it's already obvious which team is going to win, and both teams put in their scrubs and the regular players lose their form and play carelessly or very speculatively. Most commonly heard of in basketball.
Ken - tooooo weird (unless you just saw it???) I posted at 1129est Kenster-FabulosenKen - seriously...and you are playing at 1131 - instant gratification ..c
it's good to know where die rathaus is, because it's often in the center of a city where there's lots going on (beer, food, etc). when lost, it's easier to ask where that is rather than "where's that bar" since there are about a bazillion bars in deutschland
Hey Ken, I was out walking my dog when this came up so I couldn't comment at the time... I was hoping you could provide some clarification in re. your earlier anecdote. So... when the guy from Aligator Records showed up with a wad of cash the DJ DID play his record or did NOT? I'm just curious... I mean if that's your protocol I might stop by next time I'm in New Jersey... also how big a wad was it? What's the minimum wad size to bribe a WFMU DJ with? Does it depend on the DJ... I'm sorry I just have so many questions now!!!
@LindaLee I had to look up what gender CD is. Found this online: The most common method, though, is to take the gender of the nearest German translation or equivalent. So we have, for example:
"das Baby", because of "das Kleinkind"
"der Pyjama", because of "der Schlafanzug"
"das Blog", because "blog" is short for "web log", and "log" means "das Logbuch"
"die CD", because "CD" means "compact disc", and "disc" means "die Scheibe"
"der Smoking" because it is a type of suit, which in German is "der Anzug"
Why check on the internet when -in the absence of Guido from Cologne- I am here to help you all with your German enquiries? I don't think I have told you this before but I did a German Introductory course in 1998 (with a specialization in Alphabet Pronunciation).
It makes me so happy to hear when other people in the great state of Washington are fellow WFMU listeners that pledge to the same shows I listen to. It warms my Felders.

Morphe:
Speaking of swag visicissitudes(sp)..I do not wear any swag but saw a fellow with fmu stuff on his kit - we chatted - fmu slave to fmu slave - nice guy named Tim. I am the Tim who cannot carry a tune with a wheelbarrow..
Ken, please help, I've tried to make another pledge but there only seems to be an option to pledge in USD. How do I pledge the life of my first born child?
