Good morning! Anxiously awaiting this morning's cavalcade of donuts, music and GIFs.

♥ 7:55am AnAnonymousParty:

GM, I'm here. Where's my donut?

♥ 8:09am -Ken:

Donuts right there buddy

♥ 8:12am AnAnonymousParty:

♥ 8:25am Ken From Hyde Park:

I hope the technical team is registering the wfmu.donut domain name.

♥ 8:29am (Murakami Whywolf))):

How do I shew everyone that 0.) it's 'doughknot' and 1.) Noah Webster was a fink?

♥ 8:31am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Get with the programme, people! Learn the receipt for success…and doughknots.

♥ 8:51am Sebastian:

mornin'

♥ 8:53am Sebastian:

*yawn*

♥ 8:53am Sebastian:

sorry

♥ 9:00am Webhamster Henry:

It's the Wednesday Morning Donutslot.

9:01am kevlicki:

Have a good day matt, morning Ken!!

9:01am Richie Dubs:

Doughnut Tyme!!

♥ 9:02am Roberto:

Heavy Donut!

♥ 9:02am queems:

WHY

9:02am JFR:

HEDGE YOUR BET

9:02am Tom in St. Paul:

It’s the only way to ride, Ken!!

♥ 9:02am maestroso:

LOL!!!

♥ 9:02am melinda:

That was especially hilarious with the echo.

9:02am astraldandylion:

YESSSS!!

9:02am Otto’s Dad:

SMK handles Matt with a real Rumplestiltskin vibe.

9:02am Aaron Working In Newark:

LMAO!

♥ 9:03am melinda:

@Richie I like that variant

♥ 9:03am Ken From Hyde Park:

I feel a tuchus coming on.

♥ 9:04am Lixiviated Life:

SMK
Consider giving naming rights of Matt Warwicks show for $$$ Pledge.

♥ 9:04am Sebastian:

oh yeah!

♥ 9:05am The Oscar:

Mornin' all! What was that first song that played? I really want to favorite it.

9:05am kevlicki:

Morning Ken

9:05am dei xhrist:

Productivity, meet window. Let the defenestration begin.

♥ 9:05am Roberto:

Big Blood is a pretty darn good Felder antidote.

♥ 9:05am northguineahills:

Bleed me Blood!

♥ 9:08am Sem:

Let it blood. Morning, SM Ken, and those who dig .gifs.

♥ 9:08am fred:

Big Blood!
I heard that even Matt W finally got sick of the Felder and didn't play it yesterday

9:08am kevlicki:

Kick ass track from Big blood

♥ 9:08am Roberto:

That might be a good 'FMU slogan: let us defenestrate your productivity.

♥ 9:09am Sem:

@fred: a review of the archives might offer a different scenario:-D

9:09am Vincent Nifigance:

@Roberto I would want merchandise emblazoned with that slogan.

♥ 9:11am northguineahills:

Jaja, dei xhrist!

♥ 9:11am AnAnonymousParty:

I heard Spaceship Earth has a big lever labeled "DO NOT TOUCH" and, of course, someone messed with and broke it and so it hasn't been operating properly foe quite some time now.

♥ 9:12am fred:

@Sem: I did listen yesterday, and he bailed out of it quickly

9:13am Aaron Working In Newark:

Excellent

9:14am Vincent Nifigance:

@Fred No, no, no. there was an attack of the Tuchus.

♥ 9:16am Guido from Cologne:

Good morning Ken!

♥ 9:17am The Oscar:

Reverend Jones!

♥ 9:17am Kenny rotten:

My Favorite Buzzcocks tune! Thanks Ken

♥ 9:17am AnAnonymousParty:

At least the guy dancing in the huge onesie put the potato down the front side instead of the back side.

9:18am Rarouse:

DNTZ FTW

♥ 9:19am steveo:

Good morning, Ken. Enjoyable selections.

♥ 9:21am rsj:

Ken, slightly ashamed, I have the A3 disk in my car cd player...

♥ 9:26am -Ken:

That Alabama 3 I played was a horrible remake I think! I used to have the 12 inch and it was way better than that. Oh well.

♥ 9:31am AnAnonymousParty:

Is Alabama 3 an isotope of Alabama?

♥ 9:32am rsj:

"All hail the church of elvis the redeemer"

9:34am Tom the chef:

Great set Ken

♥ 9:36am AnAnonymousParty:

Good to hear from Ed McMahon again.

♥ 9:37am Sebastian:

way to go, Guido!

♥ 9:37am Webhamster Henry:

Guido has sent presents to lots of WFMU DJs - thanks!

9:39am Brendan:

That was some dustup are you and Matt still friends , if not boss and employee coworkers or at least nuke wielding world leader besties?

9:39am Vincent Nifigance:

Picklejuice Symphony

9:40am kevlicki:

Ken you’re terrible

♥ 9:40am queems:

this is a man who is drunk with power

♥ 9:40am steveo:

it's hard to believe but the schedule really did just change; also Matt is very tall

9:40am Vincent Nifigance:

Drunk on picklejuice

♥ 9:40am Lixiviated Life:

Pickle-Juice Symphony ?
How about "Alt Edit Delete"?
It would be easier to spell

♥ 9:41am AnAnonymousParty:

Sorry, Picklejuice Symphony is already a band out of Nebraska.

9:41am thedunkel:

I bet Andy flosses with a monologue the way Ken monologues computering

♥ 9:41am melinda:

I was really enjoying the updated donut theme song, now it will have to change.

♥ 9:41am Ken From Hyde Park:

Yep ... it's changed: www.wfmu.org... Hahaha!

♥ 9:43am The Oscar:

You do realize you just gave Matt on-air instructions how to do the same, right?

9:44am Znok:

As Ken is still infatuated with the Fabulösen Thekenschlampen: it translates to The Fabulous Bar Slatterns (schlampig meaning untidy, note that Schlampe remains in common use, in contrast to slattern).

♥ 9:44am ifeelfatnsassy:

Perfect use of that Hertzfeldt GIF, Ken Prime.

♥ 9:44am fred:

@The Oscar: Good thing Andy never listens to this show, now that could go awry

9:45am Carmichael:

Heya Kenneth and Mid Weekers.

♥ 9:48am Webhamster Henry:

I have Doin' The Raccoon on a piano roll!

9:51am Nigel Tufnel:

These guys suck.

9:54am JakeGould:

Why isn’t there a raccoon GIF for that “Doing the Raccoon” song? Bullshit!

♥ 9:54am Jeff Moore:

Picklejuice Symphony was the name of Kurt Weill's notoriously unsuccessful opera for children, wasn't it?

Ol' Kurt never did understand kids very well.

Even his buddy Bert Brecht saw right away that the project was a loser, and wouldn't have anything to do with it.

♥ 9:57am -Ken:

Legal ID time approaches: Dial 201-209-9368 and SAY:

(questioningly) W?

(Shout) F!

(lovingly) M..

(accusingly) U!

East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, in New York City and Rockland County at 91.9 FM and online at wfmu dot org.

9:57am JakeGould:

Weill and Brecht really loved entertaining children.

10:03am Cecile:

Could you play Black Mamba by Ankathie Koi? Great strange synth-pop from Austria.

♥ 10:05am geoff mcq:

Afternoon all.

♥ 10:05am Little Matty Warwick:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

10:06am JakeGould:

This is so wrong! It should be “L’il Matty Warwick.” Kinda like “L’il Stinker.”

♥ 10:06am -Ken:

Why it's the illustrious host of Picklejuice Symphony!

♥ 10:06am fred:

What? No stage directions for the rest of the legal ID? Do you think you're Bob Wilson?

♥ 10:10am Lizardner Dave:

Ken you should change his name back back back back back back to Matty Warwick.

10:11am Cecile:

There is a answer song called This is Nigeria, which is also great.

♥ 10:12am northguineahills:

Please illuminate us, Cecile!

♥ 10:13am fred:

Picklejuice Symphony has a nice ring to it. But that was a sloppy job: the playlist image doesn't match

10:13am Cecile:

www.youtube.com...

10:13am Cecile:

Falz is the artist.

♥ 10:14am Ken From Hyde Park:

Well, at least his new name isn't Little Matty Gherkin.

10:15am fletchernyc:

Not YET... @Ken in Hyde Park

10:15am Cecile:

had to get that little anti-gay swipe in there, I.T.

10:16am Cecile:

Anti-vaxx too. vaccinations saved so many lives in the 3rd World.

10:17am sphere:

And it was a false anti-vaxx swipe too (like all of them).

10:18am Cecile:

This is another version.

10:18am Cecile:

Don't know this.

♥ 10:19am fred:

@Cecile: Vaccines save many lives here and now too. Nobody's immune. Unless they get vaccinated, that's the point

♥ 10:19am northguineahills:

I picked up a trap cdr mix from my local ghetto mart. TAF

10:19am Cecile:

EXACTLY, Fred. EXACTLY.

10:20am Cecile:

WE HAVE WHOOPING COUGH AGAIN PEOPLE.

10:20am Cecile:

preaching to the choir.

♥ 10:20am Jeff Moore:

Wait, did "This is Nigeria" just reference Danne D?

That guy is EVERYWHERE!

♥ 10:21am Sebastian:

<3 Negativland

♥ 10:22am fred:

@Cecile: also, belated happy birthday

10:23am David in London:

I always liked the way that the Guns EP had a small picture of a U2 on the cover in loving tribute to their favourite litigants...

10:23am Carmichael:

Oh shit, Cecile. Happy birthday, sorry for the belatedness.

10:23am Cecile:

Thank you, Fred.

♥ 10:24am Sebastian:

Happy birthday, Cecile!

10:24am Cecile:

PFfffft. thank you. I barely remembered it because we were tearing around doing estate stuff for my pa-in-law up in Houghton.

♥ 10:24am northguineahills:

Surprised Tampa doesn't have more strip club searches. There are more strip clubs per capita then any other city save Vegas I've ever seen. I know this... uh... b/c of a friend!, yeah, that's the ticket! (don't actually like said places. My wife went to Pumps in Williamsburg multiple times, I never went)

♥ 10:25am Rich in Washington:

There's an alternate take of Guns - credited to Don Joyce, rather than Negativland - over at Ubu Web. It was originally a commission for New American Radio and then edited and put out on SST Records.

♥ 10:25am Webhamster Henry:

I miss hearing this good ol' Guns mix.

♥ 10:26am AnAnonymousParty:

Sounds like in Tampe you don't really NEED to search for a strip club then.

♥ 10:26am fred:

@ngh: maybe that's why they don't need a google search; there's one around the corner

♥ 10:26am Webhamster Henry:

Of course, Steinski's The Motorcade Sped On is the other dead Kennedy.

♥ 10:26am AnAnonymousParty:

Like trying to find a bar in South St. Louis.

10:27am Barbie:

I found a guy who made custom fit to her 9mil pistol, with a creepy cross stitched in. I think it helped her to turn it in.

♥ 10:27am Little Matty Gherkin:

KEN!!!

♥ 10:27am Sebastian:

I just recently listened to this archive of a Do or DIY from 2017 with Don Joyce as a guest, worth checking out: wfmu.org...

10:27am Barbie:

Holster that is

♥ 10:27am fred:

What's next? The Doors? Because guns are not the issue, doors are

♥ 10:28am The Oscar:

I like that we've heard both the final night of the People's Temple and the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald on the radio this morning.

10:28am #4:

Dang Ken....
Made me get out my little M1 Carbine - 30 caliber and setting up the good ol' AQT target in the backyard....

♥ 10:28am Sem:

High calibre radio, SMKen. Gracias.

♥ 10:28am Devin B.:

@Sebastian: That was a great episode! Too bad PLU isn't on the summer schedule this year.

♥ 10:28am Sebastian:

not as a guest, of course, I'm sorry, Jon Leidecker was the guest, but they talked a lot about Don Joyce

♥ 10:29am northguineahills:

Steinski!

♥ 10:29am AnAnonymousParty:

The motorcade sped on to a donut shop, apparently.

♥ 10:31am Webhamster Henry:

The Donutcade Sped On.

♥ 10:31am northguineahills:

No RFK assassination cutup remixes?

♥ 10:31am Sebastian:

yeah, what's Vicky up to this summer?

♥ 10:32am Webhamster Henry:

My sister told me "Kennedy has been shot!" I said "That happened five years ago!" .

♥ 10:35am AnAnonymousParty:

Is that bratwurst train an amusement park ride? Sure looks like fun! Now I'm hungry.

10:36am David in London:

@webmaster harry, sadly that is grimly funny.

10:37am David in London:

Henry not harry. Apologies.

10:38am Brendan:

RFK always gets left out. Even though he got a verse in it, Abraham, Martin and John left his name outta the title. The younger brother always gets the short end of it.

♥ 10:40am -Ken:

Sorry for not being a Kennedy Death Completist.

10:40am Vincent Nifigance:

The show is only three hours.

10:41am partyfinger:

Excellent show station manager Ken

♥ 10:42am northguineahills:

haven't heard any songs about Teddy's brain tumor.

10:43am Gilbert Crest:

another great Wednesday morning in my machine shop. thanks Ken.

10:43am rosso:

Matmos and Neu! You're awesome, Ken!

♥ 10:44am AnAnonymousParty:

Don't feel bad, Ken, it's a tall order to fill. You gotta track accidents from various modes of transportation too.

♥ 10:44am Sem:

If Teddy's Brain Tumour isn't an outstanding band name, I've lost touch with the zeitgeist.

10:44am Don S:

I propose that the name of Matt's show be changed to "Cappuccino Time."
You're welcome, Matt!

10:44am Brendan:

If you can play some Reconstruction era Lincoln death songs that would be good too. But acoustic , not electric - I draw the line on those two genres.

10:46am Arnold Schwartzenegger:

It's not a tumor.

♥ 10:46am fred:

@ngh: maybe a new avenue for that guy who did songs about WFMU DJs, NJ cities and first names. McCain brought that back in the news

♥ 10:47am Webhamster Henry:

@David in London: At the time I may have been making a "sick joke."

10:48am rosso:

I have a ponytail, but I'm in my 30's. Can I still call into SSD?

♥ 10:48am Sebastian:

wonder if either Andy or Ken ever had a pony tail

♥ 10:49am AnAnonymousParty:

What if I still have the ponytail I cut off? Is there a hotline for that?

10:49am Rhode island:

is it just me or is the Left Channel not working today?

♥ 10:49am Sebastian:

also, you are just assuming no old women hippies will call, did I get that right?

10:50am rosso:

@AnAnonymousParty - only if you have a collection of them, at least one per decade.

♥ 10:51am fred:

@Rhode island: left channel sounds right to me

10:51am The Left Channel:

Look, a friend from out of town had a layover. We met for drinks ... one thing led to another and I'm a little behind today. It happens, OK? I'm sorry.

10:51am Providence:

okay now both Channesl seem to be working we're back in The Stomping Ground hello to all the fellow Stompers

♥ 10:52am -Ken:

Anybody else missing a channel?

♥ 10:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

Zats, I ran into a hippie older than 60 the prior weekend in Woodstock. He said he listened when Upsala College was the place. Not sure if he tunes in anymore.

♥ 10:52am -Ken:

Not at all Sebastian, as a matter Female Hippies over the age of 60 who have ponytails get priority seating. I dont know why you have such dark thoughts.

♥ 10:53am -Ken:

@rosso NO!! Old Hippies only, or we couldnt call the episode "Aging Hippies Say The Darndest Things."

♥ 10:53am Brian C.:

2 channels on the live stream player for me

♥ 10:53am fred:

That Jun Arasaki track is nicely weird. Okinawa sounding, but the rhythm is all wrong

10:53am rosso:

Ken, are you reappropriating the PMS hotline?

10:54am Rhode island:

thank you left channel it's good to have you back. I understand that corn weenies are very good for a hangover

♥ 10:55am Brian C.:

really really good for a hangover

10:55am Providence:

Ken, for the record old hippies are now called medical marijuana patients

♥ 10:57am fred:

Shouldn't hippies be in their seventies by now?

10:57am still b/p:

Wish I’d kept my cut-off ponytail to turn into a fly-whisk for hiking. Thought about it again when I got mosquito-mobbed last week.

11:02am Brendan:

Say it!

♥ 11:02am joe mulligan:

such tension

♥ 11:03am northguineahills:

Mosquito flash mobs are the worst flash mobs...

♥ 11:04am -Ken:

Oh fer f sake

♥ 11:04am -Ken:

Do i have to post the legal ID every single time?

♥ 11:04am fred:

It's 11, and Matt didn't play the Felder yesterday. Ken is no doubt gathering the courage to make up for it

♥ 11:05am Lizardner Dave:

Silence For Felder

♥ 11:05am Brian C.:

He did play F***er. Ken kind of squashed it though

11:05am Brendan:

Tell the warm up band to keep playing - the limos not here yet

♥ 11:06am joe mulligan:

damn blowhard hippie

11:06am fletchernyc:

Well done sir!! Me ID guy...Such majesty.

♥ 11:06am duke:

Now that was a great ID

11:07am fletchernyc:

*Mr not “me”

♥ 11:09am Little Matty Gherkin:

Heeeeeeeeeey Don!

♥ 11:09am fred:

Now that's taking me for a ride. Thanks Don Freedman

♥ 11:11am northguineahills:

I think I'm getting the Bodega Pop premium if memory serves me correct.

♥ 11:13am fred:

@ngh: I'm sure I'm getting it. Gary's premiums are always great

♥ 11:14am Sebastian:

tatu!

♥ 11:14am fred:

Wow, it had been a while. Talk about the Felder, summon the tATu

11:15am JakeGould:

You know, my opinion doesn’t count for much but this whole faux Felder feud is just not funny. I don’t even know where the dead horse that is being beaten is anymore.

♥ 11:18am Listener Robert:

I'm noticing considerable sporadic E skip now (very common in June) on 90.1. I used to DX, looking forward to skip season, but now it's more or less a nuisance to me.

11:18am rosso:

<3 Ciccone Youth. Anyone who doesn't like Sonic Youth or Madonna is all wet.

♥ 11:18am northguineahills:

@Jake: it's just dried glue at this point....

♥ 11:19am Ken From Hyde Park:

Now that the summer schedule is in effect, can a visit to the cocktail bar be far behind?

♥ 11:20am -Ken:

Robert, I heard one of those last weekend, but I thought we had fixed it. Still happening this week? How often are the skips happening?

♥ 11:20am Listener Robert:

Whoever does the ID at noon, be very good with it and do a DXer a favor. Somewhere out there, there's someone DXing FM on 91.1 or 90.1 and would love to log a station of this class -- or even better, 91.9!

♥ 11:21am northguineahills:

Ci-ci-ciconne!

♥ 11:22am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Listener Robert - I was hearing NPR over 90.1 about an hour ago. Not sure where it was skipping in from.

♥ 11:22am Listener Robert:

Ken, I mean sporadic E skip. You're not going to fix the ionosphere!

I e-mailed you a little while ago about a nastily-timed performance slip on Saturday on 90.1 that I wrongly blamed on the audio engr.

11:22am rosso:

@Robert - I'm an engineer and ham. Looked up WFMU on ULS (stalker alert) and asked Ken about the 91.1 tower when I was helping set up an LPFM station. It's a phased array and Ken said he wished it wasn't because that causes picket fencing and only did it because the area was complaining about interference. Never occurred to me that a phased array could cause multipath problems despite the increased gain. Not really anything to do with E skip, but yeah... nerd.

♥ 11:25am -Ken:

rosso that is all changed now.. the old booster uin NYC at 91.1 is now at 91.9 so no more multipath probloems, just pirate problems now.

♥ 11:25am fred:

Was the earlier GIF from New Order's True Faith video?

♥ 11:28am northguineahills:

cumbiatastic!

11:30am rosso:

@Ken, ah I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that the multiple bays on the 91.1 tower were causing the problem, not the repeater. Do you mean pirates are jamming you or just interfering?

11:32am Liam in Denmark:

Lovin’ in it, Kenny.

♥ 11:32am Sebastian:

oh..bit late, but @ Ken @10:53, no dark thoughts, just messing!

11:36am Carmichael:

Bed music has achieved suckage.

♥ 11:36am fred:

Speaking of new shows, I loved Tenderness Junction earlier today

11:36am fletchernyc:

Ken is playing Felder bye baby

♥ 11:36am Jay Goges:

You're a mad man!! picklejuice symphony?!?!

11:37am rosso:

Felder had a secret side hustle as a composer/arranger for Muzak.

♥ 11:38am Mister Dobalina:

A xylophone version still sounds pretty crumby.

♥ 11:41am -Ken:

@rosso it was two bays on 91.1 in West Orange, plus the booster at the same frequency in NY which was messing things up but now the NYC transmitter is at 91.9 so it's not much of an issue any longer.

11:42am still b/p:

Is this from Dylan’s Christmas album?

♥ 11:44am Sebastian:

tuchus!

11:44am Nick S.:

Ah, my anthem.

♥ 11:44am -Ken:

Legal ID time is coming! When you hear the haunting Love Them From legal ID, say this:

(shocked) WFMU East Orange
(relived) WMFU Mount Hope
(confused) In New York City and Rockland County at 91.9fm
(sobbing untrollably) and online at wfmu dor org

(groggily) Buck Mulligan wiped again his razorblade.

--Ah, poor dogsbody! he said in a kind voice. I must give you a shirt and
a few noserags. How are the secondhand breeks?

--They fit well enough, Stephen answered.

Buck Mulligan attacked the hollow beneath his underlip.

11:45am mzmzzm:

i think i heard this piece yesterday arond 11am..

11:45am Him:

@-Ken I can't help but notice you played two theme songs today. Are you admitting Matt was on to something?

♥ 11:45am Sebastian:

how has this track only 7 favouriteclickies?

11:46am Nick S.:

I played Tuchus for the biggest Ween fan I know, recently. I cranked it and didn't tell her who it was and she hated it. When I told her who it was she didn't believe me.

11:46am David in London:

Any minute now Don Felder might hijack this song...

11:47am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Fidelis medical insurance premiums will go up about 40%.

♥ 11:47am joe mulligan:

ahh Uncle Buck "Telemachus"

♥ 11:49am Webhamster Henry:

Mel Henke - Neal Hefte - Lalo Shifrin << themes of the 60s

♥ 11:58am rsj:

somebody just started talking to me about the merits of micro dosing the other day

♥ 11:59am -Ken:

Come on!! I dont want top go into Duane's time!

12:00pm Carmichael:

Come on what??

♥ 12:00pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Thank you for today's radio events.

♥ 12:02pm Sebastian:

Danke!

12:17pm still b/p:

Friend of mine reports one of the most profound, and profoundly rapid, personal connections of his life just happened the other day with a stranger he met and spoke with for the duration of a three hour train ride. Just sayin’.
