Live from a mic situated on top of the WFMU global headquarters...
  12:04pm Naval Etiquette:

Captain Ken lashes himself to the mast and goes down with the good ship FMU as it slides into the Hudson and floats out to sea.
  12:05pm Carmichael:

Ken takes one for the team! And the pizza ingredients miraculously remain attached to the dough! Remember Domino's, Ken: 30 minutes or it's FREE!
  12:05pm amEdeo:

Oh no.
  12:06pm NWS:

This has to be spun at 78 to qualify as a hurricane.

Hurriken!
  12:09pm amEdeo:

Has anyone ever tried combining "Love Up" and "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John? I feel like that would work...
  12:09pm Roberto:

Oh man. $100 minimum for the War on Christmas CD. That's extortion, plain and simple.
  12:09pm pierre:

Bonjour Ken and listeners !

Spelt is just as bad (for me at least). Too close to wheat.
Spelt, the other white wheat.

Oh my god the drizzle! Fo shizzle!
  12:16pm Jon Anderson:

We used this sound in "South Side of the Sky". Right off an effects album.
  12:16pm Carmichael:

Glad to hear Ken is manning NORAD by himself.
  12:16pm Traffic Authorities:

@Ken: Expect a citation in the mail.
  12:17pm Hall & Oates: Musical Gods:

  12:17pm Carmichael:

Skype, Ken, skype!! I bet you're dressed like the Morton Salt girl right now.
  12:18pm G:

There were three full hours of you on Mary Wing last week, h&o. The most radioplay you've gotten in nearly 30 years.
  12:19pm Hall & Oates: Musical Gods:

G: it's not the same as when Ken plays Hall & Oates.
  12:19pm G:

Didn't PATH close at midnight? That's what I heard on radio weather coverage...

  12:21pm Minnesota Jeff:

I hate cavemen.

  12:22pm green mountain man mark:

wind is starting to pick up here in central VT. Have one cat outside that does not want to come in yet. Someone already took down the political signs around our street. I was going to go around and karate kick them all down and pick them up.
  12:23pm Hall & Oates: Musical Gods:

is this the storm that the Mayans predicted? or was that Nostradamus. hmm
  12:23pm G:

  12:27pm G:

@DJFF: Dude's gotta fill 90 minutes, cut him some slack :-)
  12:28pm green mountain man mark:

I am not sure I am going to make it to the fair this year. Not really because of the storm but a bunch of strange crap that has happened. Plus don't know if the train service will be back on from VT to the city. Last year because of Irene it was down for many days. My sneeze at the sun box may need to wait for another time.

I have to admit that I shaked my booty a lot to Falco. Ja.

  12:43pm m:

There's this whole genre of songs about stroking or staying up all night, doing it, all night! African American primarily I believe. I wonder if anyone has every written about it. The man is usually making promises....

It's not bad yet, but still. Fire alarm goes off in my apartment so we all had to go stand out in a hurricane lol

  12:46pm Listener zero:

This is a great song.
  12:46pm Caryn:

During all these hurricane shows, I always wonder what it's like to live somewhere where these things happen. Apart from extreme cold, snowstorms (and the very rare high wind), no "extreme weather" in these parts. No wonder people in the US can get extreme about issues. It's the fault of the weather.

Irene in Manhattan was 4 ft, a foot short of topping the seawalls
  12:59pm Caryn:

@glowing one: This will just lead to the "31 days of October" being immediately followed by "New-wave-ember", a silent fundraising month to repair hurricane damage.
  1:00pm a.:

long beach island is getting hit hard. the boardwalk is washing away in atlantic city & ocean city, md. hoboken terminal is flooded and red hook is underwater. be safe, wfmu listeners.
  1:00pm Vicki:

Ken just did a timecheck - Clay Pigeon influence there
  1:01pm Hall & Oates: Musical Gods:

Hurricane Irene ultimately came ashore as a tropical storm in Coney Island, with a 4-foot storm surge that washed over parts of the southern tip of Manhattan but didn't wreak the havoc that officials had feared, although it caused tremendous damage elsewhere. Some experts have said that a surge 3 feet higher could have caused huge damage.
  1:01pm fred von helsing:

The studio on the hill will be assaulted by seaborne cannibals and aluminum can collectors
  1:01pm G:

Irene was mainly rain-caused flooding, not storm surge

  1:02pm yayson:

ken, the last line of defense
  1:03pm tahomajohn:

Make thee an ark of gopher wood!
  1:04pm Rob:

The storm surge stats are really confusing. Around 8 pm is supposedly peak. But Gov. Cuomo says the storm surge NOW is already @ Irene levels - which means it's already partway to the worst-case 11 ft. (So I would think that means there aren't actually 11 MORE feet to go, but some amount less than that - or does it - ?)
  1:04pm Sean in Bristol, UK:

Gutted that Irene's show is cancelled but I am guessing things are pretty grim weather wise with you guys
  1:04pm Vicki:

hey that's me, sounding slow or maybe I just think it's the wrong speed - no, definitely wobbling :)
  1:05pm G:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Perfect_Storm:

"Numerous boats were damaged or destroyed, killing two people off Staten Island. High winds swept a man off a bridge, killing him. High waves flooded the beach at Coney Island. In Sea Bright, New Jersey, waves washed over a seawall, forcing 200 people to evacuate. Further inland, the Hudson, Passaic, and Hackensack rivers experienced tidal flooding."

"New Jersey local media are receiving reports that waves are topping 20ft (6m), and storm surge is expected to get worse during high tide." - ye olde beeb
  1:06pm xangoir:

It's gonna rain. YA HEARD?!?!?!?!
  1:18pm PMD:

Oh, Sandy baby. Duh.
  1:19pm a.:

seriously, shutting down mass transit was probably anti-fascist. this way, our fascist bosses are less likely to require us to come in under these dangerous conditions.

  1:27pm Caryn:

I wonder if one day it will be revealed that the Weather Underground site is actually run by former members of the Weather Underground organization. That would be awesome. (At least cooler than running a Volvo dealership, or whatever some of those other 60s/70s' radicals are doing now.)

Mrs. Hippie Queen vs. Donut Queen. Cage-match of the century.
  1:42pm PMD:

At this rate Ken will never run out of 7" es.
  1:43pm Humbert:

Donut Queen will cover the "spread" every time.
  1:45pm Caryn:

You know, all you hula girl lovers could just watch Ep. 1.3 of "Lost Girl" and watch her do that in non-gif form.
  1:48pm Col. Bicuspid:

It seems ridiculous that Ken, filling in for Irene because she can't get to the station is only at 41%of his goal. Pledge people!
  1:50pm dale:

i had to look that up. she's a succubus? no thanks - been there, done that!
  1:51pm fred von helsing:

Ken needs a flood detector alarm text message thingie in his basement. Any Arduino hackers around there?

So there it is : comment.
  1:51pm Slimslacks:

The trees are dancing to this song! Oh wait that's the wind.
  1:51pm Caryn:

Hula girl also speaks Russian, if any of you find that to be an extra kick.
@dale: she's not the succubus, she's the human sidekick.
  1:51pm Humbert:

Suck U Bus ??
  1:51pm Humbert:

I'm the original king of the divan
  1:52pm green mountain man mark:

I have an octopus I bought on Saturday that I need to do something with. Didn't get a chance this weekend as planned. Will do something hurricane related with it I guess. Any suggestions?
  1:52pm Slimslacks:

Make cookies
  1:53pm Humbert:

Is it dead, or alive?
  1:54pm Carmichael:

The Outsiders are staying in today.
  1:54pm green mountain man mark:

  1:54pm G:

Apparently Scott did not arrive in time to split the early afternoon shift

  1:56pm G:

Vanilla Fudge answers that.
  1:58pm Jeff:

I'll never underestimate a hurricane again, if this one has the power to blow Wednesday morning into Monday afternoon.
  1:58pm BSI:

c'mon sandy goddammit, i need the wind to increase another 10MPH before I can rationalize cracking open the beer reserves...
  1:59pm Fuzzy:

Horrible edit of that song
  2:00pm Ike:

Uh oh, the power went out here in Newark for a few minutes. I gotta juice up the Walkman so I can keep listening to WFMU in case the power goes down again....
  2:00pm Dr. Evil:

Vaginas with frikkin laser beams man, i can dig it!

Here comes the story of a hurricane.... he could have been chomping on the whirl?
  2:05pm Vicki:

I used my freedom card as ID to buy some shoes in LA. They are out of date now though!
  2:06pm Ike:

Hey Clay Pigeon, how about doing therapy on Ken again? Ask him all about his personal life! That's always gripping.
  2:09pm Central Brooklyn:

yellow leaves, modest breezes, drizzle.

Heap Big Nothing.
  2:09pm dale:

people were calling in to wnyc - stupid people asking if they should crack the window an inch and what do do if they have no battery powered radio.
  2:10pm NPR:

We are like a freakin magnet to the "educated stupid moron" demo
  2:10pm Joe D.:

Clay Pidge with the abstract reference to "The Phantasm"!

ps. the hurricane noise on my radio is starting to get some serious competition from the hurricane noise outside my window
  2:10pm common:

  2:15pm Tim Serpas:

If things get bad, we can count on Clay's knee to trigger the emergency alert broadcast.
  2:15pm Carmichael:

Ken has junk in his trunk.
  2:16pm Caryn:

Still haven't cracked open my "Phantasm" box set in the flying sphere box. Maybe I'm worried that if I open the box with the sphere in it, it'll attack...
  2:16pm Julie:

He needs to reenact that moment!
  2:16pm Skirkie:

  2:23pm Skirkie:

The Theme from Pete and Pete, "Hey Sandy" by Polaris - stuck in my head for days.
  2:23pm Dave E::

What happened to Irene . . . I'm so stressed now!
  2:23pm Ike:

I don't much like John Mellencamp either, but I'd love to hear Clay Pigeon sing more of it! SING IT!
  2:23pm john & wendy:

Did you bring "You're Gonna Die" by Destroy All Monsters with you?
  2:23pm jamesie:

Amy Goodman is no looker either, sorry.
  2:23pm Bruce:

Play the 45s in Chronological order
  2:24pm Matt from Springfield:

@Skirkie: Love that show, love that theme. That should be the theme to this hurricane!
  2:24pm a.:

I second the Destroy All Monsters request.
  2:25pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane

Gotta love Lulu. Of course, since I saw Jimi Hendrix play a Cream cover on her tv show as a tribute right after Cream announced they were breaking up, I've had a soft spot for the lass.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:25pm Dervish:

@Dave E
Irene was last year. We're all into DJ Sandy now.
  2:25pm Vancouver, Before Christ:

We're still busy digging out from the tsunami debris following our DisastroQuake.
  2:25pm Julie:

ohhh this is awesome
  2:26pm Dave E::

Has anyone noticed that the hurricanes with woman's names are severe?
  2:26pm dale:

i heard lou reed doing edgar allen poe's the raven and it had me laughing my ass off
  2:26pm Ike:

@KFHP, I'm sure we all love you, but that's the laziest hurricane song suggestion EVER in the history of the universe. Scorpions are worse than Mellencamp. Indie cred forever!
  2:26pm Vicki:

disembarking the plane returning from NY yesterday they were playing "How Long Has This Been Going On" which I thought was rather funny for a longhaul flight
  2:27pm Bruce:

Hey my radar shoes a pizza or am I hungry
  2:27pm Edgar:

What the fuck was so funny. {stalks off to write melancholy poetry}
  2:27pm Dave E::

Oh, I see . . . wasn't Irene wet and wonderful last year?
  2:27pm Matt from Springfield:

@Vancouver: Oh shit, just found out about that. Stay safe and stay alive, anyone in Vancouver BC.
  2:28pm Matt from Springfield:

FUNKYTOWN!!! And 45 @ 33!! SCORE!
  2:28pm Secret Theme:

  2:28pm Philthy:

Thnky! Better than the original by bounds n leaps!
  2:29pm Vancouver, Before Christ:

We had "fake disaster envy". Just keepin up with the east coast Joneses.
  2:29pm Giorgio Moroder:

I recorded this EXACT beat, back in '77! Why did I not release it then, and get a leg up in the competition?!
  2:29pm Bruce:

Here is a not so lazy song suggestion "Her I Cane!" by the Filipino Gum Chewers
  2:30pm fred von helsing:

Funkin' into the wind
  2:30pm Math Minor:

Don't tease me, bro!
  2:32pm Ike:

Uh oh, my electricity just wavered again.
  2:32pm green mountain man mark:

Anything slowed the hell down is good. I once had a record player that you could go down to 16 on it. can't find many like that anymore. It was for the talking books for blind people so that you could listen for a very long time to just recorded voice with out needing to keep flipping or changing records.
  2:32pm Show Prep Manual:

When you don't have much time to preplan a show, just heade for your overstuffed file of cheesecake JPEGS and GIFS. They "go" well with EVERYTHING
  2:33pm Hurricane Mitch:

I dropped a heap-load of rain when I came through in 1998.
  2:33pm ?:

Turns bubblegum pop into No Wave!
  2:34pm Carmichael:

Vargas, baby! Now we're talkin' cheesecake.
  2:34pm Caryn:

Looking forward to 2014's Hurricane Nana. Seriously? Not that 2013's Hurricane Wendy or Hurricane Chantal have me quaking in my boots. But 2017's Hurricane Ophelia is gonna be nuts, if her Shakespearean namesake is anything to go by.
  2:35pm seang:

this is awesome
  2:35pm sister sludge:

  2:35pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Precisely which body part is being stated to be sticksticky here, in a song aimed at prepubescents?
  2:37pm Benny Hill:

Ken's Gone Upmarket.
  2:37pm other david:

Apparently Sandy has strengthed to 90-100mph winds.

Stay safe folks.
  2:38pm tim from champaign:

Although Champaign is the home of REO Speedwagon and Starcastle, it's definitely more of a John Cougar type of joint. I regularly refer to Champaign as Lil Pink Houses, IL.
  2:38pm common:

thank you both! suckin on chilly dog outside the tastey freeze!
  2:38pm Caryn:

How come "Sticky Sticky" just brings to mind the new Neil Young album? I think it's the "bunch of drunk people noodling in the studio" vibe.
  2:38pm jamesie:

drown, Wall St., DROWN!
  2:38pm FCC:

FUG? WE NOTICED THAT.
  2:39pm Detroit Mac:

My 1st concert at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit ('68) was: MC5, Sly and the Family Stone and top billed... The Fugs!
  2:39pm Matt from Springfield:

Great one! Peace has never sounded so killingly!
  2:39pm Wall Street:

Occupy are at ground level :-) :-)
  2:40pm Matt from Springfield:

Awesome lineup Mac!
  2:40pm Mayor Daley:

The revolution will not be televised ;)
  2:40pm Detroit Mac:

Gonin' to play: "Slum Goddess of the Lower East Side"?
  2:41pm Robert:

Looking forward to Jim Price getting out of his rowboat and rushing in, stretching his show to a full 3 hour shift to spell Ken.
  2:42pm Rahm Emmanuel:

Hey, CL :P
  2:43pm Robert:

Has the trailer in the alley/parking lot blown over yet?
  2:44pm dale:

oh, i remember that record, the one you'd take to share with friends, forget in your car and the sun would cook it all wavy like
  2:44pm Sean in Bristol, UK:

Just been watching the news on BBC here, man, it's looking ghastly in New Jersey
  2:44pm BSI:

  2:45pm G:

@Robert: Just wait till the starving and desperate post-flood hordes are gathered around the building with axes, to get at that breakroom cornucopia of weeks-old fridge food.
  2:46pm Caryn:

Laser face? Did he get shot by the laser vagina?
  2:46pm fear & hope:

All hail RERecs.
  2:46pm green mountain man mark:

I have to go to the dentist at 3:15. It is a short walk away. They have a country station or something like that usually playing when I am there. The new kind of country. Wonder if those new kinda dumb country would sound good slowed way the fuck down.
  2:48pm G:

  2:49pm Dedication:

Jpoey Heatherton, goin out to Andy, who would never miss a minute of a Ken music show.
  2:49pm Matt from Springfield:

@G: Hey hey, now, take a chill pill and enjoy the splendid beauty of nature, even when it's in a passionate rebellion (or as Bob Ross calls it, a "chill stick"...)
  2:50pm Itumac:

By what magic do these memetastic images appear? Be there a vault some where? Or is it an instagram filter that changes an album cover into vintage art?
  2:50pm Caryn:

To get some respite from the news, turned over to a channel where they promised cute baby deer. Aww, sleeping deer. Aww, taking it's first steps. Then, literally 5 seconds after that: "We just got a call that the baby deer died." WTF?!? I turned to this channel for something uplifting, dammit!
  2:50pm Matt from Springfield:

I suspect the cartoon idea of overfilling your bicycle wheels until they're the size of floatation devices is not gonna work in real life.
  3:01pm Matt from Springfield:

Tape your pencils down, everyone! Erasers too!

Take care, Ken and Clay!
  3:01pm SteveL:
