9:30am Fredericks:

♥ 9:31am TDK60:

I saw Jimi the very next day (1.1.70) in the same darn venue. Mathematicians tell me that was 50 years ago. Golly.

9:31am Fredericks:

*your*

9:31am David in London:

A rather underpowered London checking in.

♥ 9:31am Tome:

Buddy Miles , Drums ,, Billy cox Bass , Band of Gypsys

9:32am Mandy:

♥ 9:33am Strandlund:

Happy New Decade Everyone!!

♥ 9:34am PigeonsAndRust:

Sorry Colleen, I failed reading comprehension as a large child! Hi!

9:37am Colin in Durham, England:

Cock-eyed on Cognac lol

9:37am Colleen:

Haha! that's ok...just never heard someone so "Right here" I usually just say Hudson Valley cause ya know... who's going to zoom in on Plattekill! Glad you did!

♥ 9:37am -Ken:

@AshevillJon has the volume recovered? I think the vacuum cleaner was wired out of phase?

9:39am ?:

Ivor Cutler “I am The Courier”

♥ 9:39am Webhamster Henry:

So it's going to be a woozy kind of set, eh?

♥ 9:39am TDK60:

Oh Carla B., ya had to?..

♥ 9:39am Asheville Jon:

not really Ken, still seems low. hadn't changed any settings here, so not sure what's up.

♥ 9:40am dave wuz here:

keith floyd on swizzle stick

9:40am Fragonard:

This is...exactly...how I feel...

9:40am cap0:

Ivor quote is mine not sure why the ? appeared.

♥ 9:41am Ken From Hyde Park:

Little known fact: Most vacuum cleaners are tuned to G, but a small fraction are tuned to F.

♥ 9:41am Webhamster Henry:

Plattekill is the home of the Plattekill Travel Plaza.

♥ 9:41am dale:

the wow and flutter of a realistic turntable.

♥ 9:43am Tome:

haha so remember my BIC "slippery" belt and all !<>!

9:43am Colleen:

sorry Webmaster.... I think you have the wrong Plattekill....the most exciting thing we have is a Dunkin Donuts....before that... Hannaford

♥ 9:43am PigeonsAndRust:

We have a combination pizza parlor/liquor store, general store and post office. Fulfilling all life's needs within a hundred feet of each other

9:44am Fragonard:

Somebody loosened their belt too much (i had one too many belts!)

♥ 9:44am PigeonsAndRust:

Oh, you're in Modena, then, Colleen?

9:44am Colleen:

I'm right in that lump PigeonsAndRust.... I have the salon across from Plattekill Elementary

♥ 9:44am dale:

daniele!

9:45am Colleen:

I'm technically Clintondale .... but commute 9 minutes to Plattekill to work

9:46am Colleen:

Via Plattekill Ardonia rd.... so I'm totally Plattekill

♥ 9:48am Ken From Hyde Park:

Clintondale is larger or smaller than Gardiner? I forget.

♥ 9:49am PigeonsAndRust:

It's definitely not as fancy as Gardiner...Andy Breckmanman mentioned he was in Gardiner a few weeks back

9:50am Colleen:

Hey there Ken!... Clintondale is more spread out with nothing much in it...Gardiner is more of a cute little strip of stuff...but I would say its smaller

♥ 9:50am PigeonsAndRust:

I'll have to buy you a cup of coffee at Jimmy's sometime, Colleen! Cheers

9:51am Colleen:

Yeah.... not much out here...when I tune it in from Hudson Valley...I'll say outside of New Paltz...or outside of Newburgh

9:51am Colleen:

Haha.... quick before it sells!

9:52am David in London:

I’m lost with this new youth lingo.

♥ 9:53am Webhamster Henry:

Thanks for the King Size Drag!

♥ 9:53am dale:

♥ 9:53am egal:

Dig it.

♥ 9:55am Tome:

,, the vacuum !<>!

♥ 9:56am Manana:

Tamari is no drag. Good on popcorn.

9:56am SeanG:

♥ 9:57am Lixiviated Life:

“Turn on to a thousand joys”

♥ 10:00am Webhamster Henry:

My bad, Colleen, turns out the Plattekill travel plaza is in Modena.
signed,
Exit 19

♥ 10:00am patrick321:

"It's a new day."

10:02am Colleen:

I totally forgot about that Webmaster! The cool kids call that the "Hot shops"

10:07am Eric from Lake Hiawatha:

Long live DJ

♥ 10:11am MyAcademy:

This show is like the soundtrack to fever dreams.

♥ 10:13am PigeonsAndRust:

Webhamster Henry, I think I've talked to you in one of the 78 groups on Facebook..are you among other things a harborer of shellac, or am I quite mistaken?

♥ 10:14am WFMU listener WADE:

1st day of the last decade. . .

impending doom? Who's doom? Who's got doom looming? Ken? Do have Doom Looming?

10:14am The Butterman:

Up and feeling / looking like a cubist painting.

♥ 10:15am TDK60:

Is Tremolo Guitar back again in the 20s?

10:17am FՉFՉ (:

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

And Feliz Año Nuevo too!

10:20am De Fenestrated:

Is Acid fashionable in 2020?

♥ 10:20am -Ken:

Your Espanol is a little off there f0f0, but I know what you are trying to say and yes! Same to you!

10:20am David in London:

Makes me think Donovan needs to team up with SunnO))) soon.

♥ 10:20am egal:

Acid is always fashionable. As is absinthe.

10:22am FՉFՉ (:

That was an inside joke for all my Spanish speaking peeps in here, Ken. But thanks for noticing it.

10:23am FՉFՉ (:

Oh, FFS, cory! Are you working... even TODAY?! What is wrong with you, hardworking people!

♥ 10:24am dale:

if you step in dog poo may it not be in your boots with the deep tread.

♥ 10:25am Webhamster Henry:

@PigeonsAndRust probably! - that Fb group is an obsession riot! Group Honcho MAC had his antique music show here for 20 years (now a podcast) and I put together the Internet Museum of Flexi Cardboard Oddity music with him here at wfmu.org... .

♥ 10:26am Andrew_in_WI:

Ken has Popeye arms from flipping through records

♥ 10:29am PigeonsAndRust:

I wonder how many copies of the 1932 Chevrolet Durium promo record they gave away...they seem to turn up EVERYWHERE

10:31am Nacho:

Happy new butthole?

♥ 10:31am Webhamster Henry:

Mac did a very nice display of a small portion of his Flexi collection at a WFMU Record fair a few years ago.

10:33am Colleen:

Telly from Sesame St?

10:34am jan:

This morning a DJ saved my life!

10:35am yippie:

but do you have the Felix Flexi ? either the cat or Mendelssohn would work

♥ 10:37am PigeonsAndRust:

I wonder if anyone still makes Flexis. I have a bunch from Keyboard magazine ca. the late 80s, I don't know if I've seen any newer...I'm guessing my Marconi VelvetTone is about the oldest

♥ 10:37am Asheville Jon:

to hear a nice, long rendition of Corn Weenie would be oh so wonderful on this new year's day.

10:37am FՉFՉ (:

Yakety Sax to the rescue!!

♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry:

Is there an appropriate Porest for this morning? I bet there is.

♥ 10:39am dale:

we need more RADD psa's

10:40am The Butterman:

Asheville John, cornweenie would take us back! Nostalgia!

♥ 10:41am McGroovey:

If I had a hangover now, this would make it either worse, or better. Or the same. Possibly the same. I guess I can't be sure. If I start drinking now, the show will be over before the hangover sets in. I guess I'll have to think of a different experiment to do. Any ideas?

10:41am Eric from Lake Hiawatha:

The melancholy is on quaaludes

♥ 10:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

First mashup of 2020!

♥ 10:44am crateslinger:

I’ve got a friend in Pa that I turned on to the station. He’s listening in his car with his family southbound on 81 and says his wife wants to kill him if he doesn’t put it back on Froggy 104.

10:46am JtotheK:

Good Morning Ken, hi everyone. I am hoping that wonderful version of “Vision of Love” is in regular rotation in 2020!!!

♥ 10:46am crateslinger:

sorry - froggy 101

10:47am curtis_chaos_la_la:

You have no idea how much i hate everything around me rite now except this radio timed and tuned in agin..

10:47am Richard S:

WFMU is still here? The world is safe....

10:49am Woo:

Club Mix. That means I can come back in a half hour and it will still be playing? That's OK with me.

♥ 10:50am PigeonsAndRust:

I like the video editing on the old Motown Time Capsules..they did a nice job for Love Hangover in 1976 youtu.be...

10:51am FՉFՉ (:

Please allow me to clarify JtotheK above reference to "Vision Of Love". He is surely talking about Wing's version and NOTthe other one. Thanks.

10:53am JtotheK:

Thank you for clarifying Fofo! And of course we assume Clarence Carter stays in rotation in 2020.

10:55am Hendrix fan from Bklyn:

I also saw the Gypsys concert. Dec 30, 1969. Early show.

10:56am FՉFՉ (:

Thanks to you as well for mentioning our beloved Clearence Carter, JtotheK. Time for someone to erect a monument to that classic song!

10:56am Bill W:

Traktor New Year!

10:56am Hendrix fan from Bklyn:

Dec 31

♥ 10:58am PigeonsAndRust:

I imagine Ken put Diana on again so he could tie up the cleaner with his own vacuum cleaner cord before the next mic break

♥ 11:00am Asheville Jon:

Now is the time on Ken's show where we dance!

♥ 11:01am PigeonsAndRust:

..or else!

11:04am Martinibomb:

Man I am diggin the set!

11:05am M&K:

S l o w D o w n . . .

♥ 11:06am steveo:

Pony up! Happy New Year Ken & everyone!

♥ 11:07am McGroovey:

My eggs are boiling.

11:07am FՉFՉ (:

Feliz Ano Nuevo! HA! You know why is funny?! Cuz 'ano' means anus in Spanish! So happy new anus! HAHAHA..I mean...JAJAJAJA!

11:08am johnzo:

HOW COME YOU DIDN’T HIT ME UP KEN??!!!! YOU BROKE MY HEAART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 11:09am Asheville Jon:

hmm, what is good about detroit.....

....thinking.....

.....ok, John King books, and a plethora of Coney restaurants.

11:12am Marc15:

Although, today is the start of the 2020s, I believe that an official Decade cannot start in a year that ends with a zero. Which would mean that next New Year’s Day would start the Decade

♥ 11:15am Asheville Jon:

so by that thinking, we are all one year younger than our claimed aige, because the first year technically doesn't count as one.

♥ 11:15am Rob:

Actually Detroit is pretty great these days... and speaking of Coney - my better half Katie is getting ready to do the Polar Bear plunge at Coney Island this afternoon!

♥ 11:17am steveo:

There are no official decades. Observe whatever decade endpoints you wish & stay off of my lawn. (I don't have a lawn.)

11:19am yippie:

I named my bunny coney

11:20am FՉFՉ (:

That's correct, Ashville Jon. Now let me tell you about Korea, where a baby is considered to be one year old, accounting for the time spent in the womb. The baby will turn two not a year after it is born, but on New Year's.

♥ 11:21am Asheville Jon:

so if I visit korea, i am actually older? geez, that international date line is a b!tch

11:21am FՉFՉ (:

This Peter Blegvad song is an old Ken's classic. Glad to hear it again. Great instrumental song.

♥ 11:22am steveo:

Blegvad backwards is Davgelb.

11:23am queems:

this song is SO GOOD

♥ 11:23am McGroovey:

Was my egg a year old when I ate it? Asking for a friend.

11:24am yippie:

yeah that international date line is the reason Thursday Christian had to change his name to Friday Christian

11:24am yippie:

also the shut up weirdo theme song loop

♥ 11:25am -Ken:

@asheville Jon - I saw tons of great street art in Detroit, the Motown Musuem, and a giant supercool warehouse with a million cool things going on inside. We just walked in and looked around and everyone welcomed us

11:25am Marc15:

@ steveo: I really have more important things worry about than what day the decade starts or ends, but I know that there are some People who do worry about such things

♥ 11:25am steveo:

Congrats to f0f0 on their introduction to wfmu's song title database!

11:27am Eric from Lake Hiawatha:

Compelling Rock me baby, people around me picked their head up and swayed to the beat!

♥ 11:28am Asheville Jon:

sounds like a good trip Ken!

11:30am FՉFՉ (:

Thanks, steveo. And thanks for nothing, weird Korean tradition!

♥ 11:30am McGroovey:

So, if The Easybeats were Australian, doesn't that mean the record should have been Thursday On My Mind in the USA?

11:32am Bones:

Let’s ROAR 2020!

11:33am Tasha:

Great New Year’s Day music thank you for being there

11:41am Bones:

Stomach Roaring 20s

11:44am FՉFՉ (:

Ken was playing with his gut. HA! Get it? No? Ok. Sorry.

11:45am johnzo:

I’M STILL HEARTBROKEN KEN... I WAS GONNA TAKE YOu TO BOB MAISE’S HOUSE... I had so many plans ken. I... ok I can’t think of anything else. yknow what... I forgive you Ken.

♥ 11:50am Jim Price:

Larry says... "keep doing a good show".

11:56am FՉFՉ (:

Hey, Jim Price! I miss the beloved This is Larry character.

11:56am FՉFՉ (:

Thanks, Ken and people! Have a great start of the year and remember: Losen up and BE HAPPY GODDAMIT!!

♥ 11:57am -Ken:

Bye everybody! Sorry I gottaa run out but I gotta run...

11:57am antonio:

Happynew year!

♥ 12:02pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Here's to clean carpets and a prosperous new year!
