7:13am -Ken:

You got it Ken from HP, morning f0f0 and Cory!

7:16am F¶F¶ (:

The Winona Ryder GIF is high-larious. Which is one step above hilarity. Thanks, Ken. Very nice selection of hypnotic and funny GIFs as usual.

🚽

7:19am -Ken:

Yeah, poor Winona! She looks like she is tripping AND drunk.

7:48am maestroso:

Hi Ken! The pledge hearts are back?

🚽

8:26am -Ken:

Maestroso I can force them to appear - did you do a regular or a swag for life pledge ?

8:31am maestroso:

@Ken - I made a number of regular pledges but not swag for life.

🚽

8:35am -Ken:

Robert and Maestroso, you have been hearted. Thank you both. May your tiny little icon of thanks and appreciation serve you well.

🚽

8:35am -Ken:

Oh and Robert... TMI

8:37am maestroso:

thanks Ken!

8:41am F¶F¶ (:

Ken,

What is the highest amount an individual has ever pledged in the history of WFMU marathons?

Listener Robert,

I wish you the best tomorrow. I also don't recommend you to listen to today's SSD archive tomorrow as it makes people laugh so hard it messes with their circadian rythms.

🚽

8:43am Devin B.:

Morning... Still time to get in on the pledge badges? If so, one of each for me.

8:46am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Swagged for Life… badge, please.

🚽

8:53am -Ken:

Murakami, you already have a S4L boombox and I dont know why but I cant make your heart appear.. sorrry.. you are all set Devin.

🚽

8:53am Devin B.:

Thanks!

🚽

8:54am -Ken:

f0f0, the highest pledge ever made was one that was not paid. The highest pledge ever made and paid was $32,000, in 2015

🚽

9:01am Ken From Hyde Park:

Showtime!

9:02am Sem Chumbo:

Ah, my daily dose of Dinger. Morning, SM Ken, and Wednesday mid-morning-ers.

9:02am ultradamno:

Patty Duke!!!

9:03am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Ryder looks fetching regardless…or maybe, to be honest, some predatory(?) sub-process makes somewhat drunk women seem more attractive—I'm not proud of this…. (That could be too much information, or, alternately, so common as to be boring.)

9:03am MD:

ER I AM JH...The Ghost in the machine...Good Morning all...

9:03am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Drunk + tripping = dripping. A strange state to find oneself.

9:03am Rev. Turnip Druid:

also: hello.

9:05am Mary Kelly:

I don't care if I'm late for work, if Jonesey is playing Against Me!, I'm staying in the car until the song is over...

9:05am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Ken: you didn't have to take time off after the Marathon this year; did its success leave you less wasted than usually so?

9:05am F¶F¶ (:

With time and health one day I hope I'll surpass that record pledge. And in another day I'll pledge AND paid a record pledge as well.

9:05am maestroso:

I'm mesmerised by the lovely face of Patty Duke.

9:06am MD:

Hey Ken when do I get a Heart?....Something my wife always asks me!!!

🚽

9:06am -Ken:

mURAKAMI ha! Im taking off next week.. going to Costa Rica to trap toucanets and surf

🚽

9:07am -Ken:

MD, I will add all requests for hearts after the show today, might not get to it till this evening.

9:07am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Best I can usually manage is a mouse pledge, which I figured I've done since about 2008 or 2009? This makes me an utter deadbeat since I've been listening since the mid-1990s. ...

[sits back & quietly awaits a tiny blue mouse heart]

9:08am F¶F¶ (:

Today's is one of the saddest day for millions of people in the UK that voted against Brexit as the divorce from the European Union officially begins. Songs about separation anyone?

9:08am Clïff in Prägůe:

I pledged, can I get a heart too?

9:08am mary:

Dinger does it

9:08am James Douglas:

Awsome.

9:09am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Ken: you did make my heart appear, it's just black as the Pit, so it doesn't show-up against this css' background.

(Fun Fact: Tony Stark was the original Atom Heart 'Mother'.)

9:09am ultradamno:

Me too.

9:09am Rev. Turnip Druid:

@F¶F¶ ( -- Can't beat Bobby Vinton's MISTER LONELY... or Skeeter Davis' END OF THE WORLD

9:10am James Douglas:

Self Titled? not Self Titlted?

🚽

9:12am -Ken:

Thank you James. So happy to have the spelling police on board. They are so much more fun than the pronoun police.

9:12am mary:

Deutsche day delicious

9:12am James Douglas:

Gotta keep those logs clean so they get their 5¢

9:13am Passaic River Blues:

Nice transition/dope blend between these Germans, Ken.

9:13am Sem Chumbo:

Star me, Ken-bro, at your leisure
(rhetorically: you HAVE leisure?)

9:14am pantz:

Aus Gezeichnut!

9:15am pantz:

I'm a SFL, Ken. Gimme them badges, baby!

🚽

9:16am Ken From Hyde Park:

Sean Spicer to Patty Duke: "Stop shaking your head!"

9:16am Barney Grubbs:

surest way to get our dingo-beagle to speak is to have somebody ride by on a bicycle

9:16am Rob (Jerzcity):

Here we go!

9:16am Undead83:

Good morning everyone, it's good to be back here again enjoying some fine music

9:17am MD:

Thank YOU MR KEN! OH THE PRICE OF VICTORY!!!

9:18am (Murakami Whywolf))):

"My Mistake"
"I Hate Working-Class People" (not entirely fair)
"I Feel Like a Wog"
The 'Parley Voo' song from "Ruddygore", in which prejudice is used to disguise cowardice.

9:19am Bronwyn Bishop:

gooood morning ken and friends

9:21am F¶F¶ (:

Is that the babiy eater dingo? if so bring the babies into the studio! Let's have a live-match.

9:25am Nacho:

Hi Ken! Hi everyone. Does anybody know any wfmuish german station? I'm trying to wide my vocabulary but the stations I have found are so boring.... (I've pledged too.. no hearts though...)

9:28am F¶F¶ (:

Hey, Nacho! Guido from Cologne recommended me FluxFM from Berlin. Check it out.

9:29am Bas NL:

Aguaturbia! I love this song!

🚽

9:29am -Ken:

I'll add all hearts later tonight.. f0f0, this is indeed the baby eating dingo. We are fresh out of babys so she's moved onto electrical cables and chair legs.

9:29am melinda:

Morning Ken & everyone! I did Swag for Life, can I have badge?

9:29am Passaic River Blues:

This album is, like, the one thing I didn't discover via WFMU, and now Ken has put it on. One more step towards The Singularity.

9:30am Nacho:

Thanks F¶F¶! I'll check it out

9:30am (((Murakami Whywolf):

"Pain" by Four Star Mary, the band that played the band Dingos Ate My Baby in "Buffy - vampyyrintappaja".

9:32am PMD:

American pie is deemed culturally significant. Andy's famous!

9:34am Mark S:

Chris Christie, what a maroon

9:34am wakka wakka:

Ken rockss out

🚽

9:35am -Ken:

PMD - was American Pie one of the new songs picked by the LOC? What were the others?

9:35am Sebastian:

@Nacho you might want to check out Radio Blau from Leipzig: www.radioblau.de

9:37am Mark S:

National Recording Registry Picks Are "Over the Rainbow":
www.loc.gov...

9:38am pantz:

I come for the gifs. I stay for the Pooey Flute

9:40am Sebastian:

oh, and badge request @Ken: I'm a swag for lifer and pledged seperately in the Andy soak!

9:41am Bronwyn Bishop:

i call it poopy flute all the time now in real life. damn the fcc, i obey them even off air

9:42am howard in nyc:

One of the National Recording Registry picks is "the national anthem of black America". I have to assume by this they mean I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Marvin Gaye

9:44am foofs:

Are you zrbtting that dingo?

9:46am Lizardner Dave:

Hey Ken, how about a picture of the dingo?

🚽

9:47am Walt:

When "American Pie" was released, or some time shortly after, radio stations also played an "annotated" version. The music would break and a narrator would explain whatever reference the song was making. I haven't heard this since it played in my middle school art class in 1972 (the teacher had the radio on while we were making linoleum prints, very cool), does anyone know if this was released as a single or otherwise exists?

🚽

9:48am -Ken:

Walt, that sounds GREAT! I would love to have that.

9:52am Sebastian:

holy shit! A big-ass crow just landed on my windowsill, 50cm from me, crowed at me and took off. Almost went pooeyflute in my pants.

🚽

9:53am Vivian:

Good Morning, all! Ken, do you have a recent picture of Lola? Such a cutie!

9:53am βrian:

Is that the long lost thylacine there?

9:55am berbo:

Are these the 'good' Homres or the 'bad' Hombres?

9:55am SilverBridge:

Just found this about annotated American Pie. answers.google.com...

9:56am βrian:

We have a big-ass murder of crows in our neighborhood. It's rumored that somebody feeds them hamburger. Interesting birds but damn noisy sometimes.

🚽

9:56am -Ken:

Vivian, I dont have any handy recent pics of Lola but I'll have some in the future.

9:56am chris dot com:

I'm officially declaring today, Wednesday, March 29th a wash. Avoid productivity at all costs.

9:56am Sem Chumbo:

definitive AMERICAN PIE annotated? www.faqs.org...

9:57am Hemablokker:

First time listening live from Brooklyn, strange feeling

9:57am chris dot com:

Also Sebastian, this is America, you measure in inches or you don't measure at all.

10:01am Nacho:

Thanks Sebastian!! I didn't understand why I couldn't stream that radio... they start at 18:00. And go centimeters! USA isn't America

10:02am Sebastian:

it wasn't far - better?

10:03am Sam:

You'd think they'd make him in charge of eating disorders

10:03am βrian:

Inches have never been a good metric.

10:03am Passaic River Blues:

Well, Christie is the kind of thing you hallucinate when you're dope sick.

10:03am steve:

dead gay governor?

10:04am weiterso:

@nacho
radio eins. they have onlinestream and their own musicstaff. Better music you hear in the evening.
radioeins.de/faqs/radioeins_hoeren.html

10:04am MD:

One persons Dope is a another's Double cheeseburger...say no more...

10:04am Planet Tyler:

Christie needs some stimulants not opiods

10:05am MD:

VICTORY HAS IT'S PRICE...JIM PRICE!!!

10:05am βrian:

Can I pick from the waffle of songs?

10:06am Sam:

Ahh Ken, you're so fuckin funny!

10:06am MD:

COCO GOT TO DRUNK!!!

10:06am Sam:

It was Andy's idea that the levee should be dry

10:06am MD:

the world need's a Breckman Song in there!!!

10:07am berbo:

I last gave serious thought to American Pie back in 1979. It was a high school English class.

10:07am Sam:

Yell out Baba Bouie also

10:07am MD:

Breckman Bouie!!!

10:09am Sebastian:

That chevy/levee thing is the best part of the whole song! here's the whole story:
www.wfmu.org...

10:09am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Recently, I've often been reminded of the "Mr Show" sequence in which the plan to blow up the Moon is derailed when the chimpanzee delegated to push the button first signs 'Why?', but they then solve that problem by getting another chimp who can't sign.

10:10am Jack:

Koko is a gorilla.

10:11am Sam:

It will be the same thing with computers when they get smart enough to question the orders we give them

10:11am βrian:

Koko: "Dirty, dirty, dirty ..."

10:11am Sam:

Which coast was the last train going to? I've always wondered.

10:11am Sebastian:

wonderful

10:12am SilverBridge:

This is the best use of the Andymatic I have ever heard

10:12am Sam:

Maybe the train from Montreal to Gaspe?

🚽

10:13am Webhamster Henry:

@SilverBridge Thanks!

10:14am F¶F¶ (:

Breaking News!

Bob Dylan is not dead yet but he is finally picking up his Nobel Prize this weekend in Stockholm.

🚽

10:14am Webhamster Henry:

Although I think that cut is really made using the original "Andy Zingers" Premium CD.

10:14am tomasz.:

hello friends

10:15am SilverBridge:

My wife hates my Andymatic. That's the second best use I've ever heard.

10:18am Megaroni:

Yeah Mikey Mike! Bringin' it, thanks DJ Ken

10:18am βrian:

"My pull-out game"??

10:18am Brendan:

Mikey loves Life.

10:18am fm Mike:

10:19am Mark S:

www.youtube.com...

10:19am SeanG:

hola Ken, I pledged swag for life too! thanks!

10:20am Sam:

Hard not to sing along to this one

10:21am fm Mike:

How is Garbage Dump not been on Matt Warwick's show?

10:22am Bjarne:

@Ken: People are saying you're giving out hearts?

10:22am tomasz.:

lol at that Manson screenshot

10:22am steve:

fm Mike i think it was on his Garbage Songs premium a year or two ago?

10:22am fm Mike:

Lol Listener Robert, what did Andy do? And right tomasz.

10:22am Brendan:

Didn't Chuck have delusions he was going to be as big the Beatles? Exhibit A against that.

10:23am fm Mike:

Mmmmm. Premium garbage...

10:23am steve:

man, that Manson song is SO headache inducingly bad... i think its that he's so clearly convinced he's talented that makes it so bad.

10:24am F¶F¶ (:

I have hard Garbage Dump several times in Ken's show BUT just today I am realising it is from Charles Manson! Whoa!

10:24am ultradamno:

Wouldn't Chucky Chuck have to die first?

10:24am βrian:

Isn't Mikey Mike the little kid who ate the Life cereal?

10:25am Lewis:

@Steve - not actually bad, but Incorrect in Irwin's world...

10:25am steve:

not even shittyflute could save Garbage Dump

10:25am jan:

disturbingly informative documentary about Manson a few weeks ago on the tube.
I had no idea on the effect he had over people, women and men alike.

10:25am βrian:

Will this be an Ayahuasca retreat, Ken?

10:25am F¶F¶ (:

steve,

Wait! It's a good song (believe. I know good songs). Take into account I've never realised it was from that man until today.

10:26am Clïff in Prägůe:

Ether can wipe *anything* out of your head

10:26am Ike:

Can we get Lamin, Crowe (if he's still alive), Scott McDowell, or Bob W.?

10:26am Sam:

Can you please get Professor Dum Dum to fill in?

10:26am Ike:

Or Jonathan Herweg? (Although he might be out of town.)

🚽

10:27am Webhamster Henry:

Can we get Porest? Or maybe Kenny G is on Spring Break?

10:27am Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

Hey Ken, did you ask Monica if she could cover your shift?

10:27am SeanG:

get Kenny G. for a fill-in!

10:27am βrian:

I haven't heard Donna B in a while.

10:27am MD:

Elvis!!! I will be ATRACTED to that show...

10:28am Lizardner Dave:

Kenny G!

10:28am Sam:

10:29am doctorjazz:

10:30am Roberto:

Second Kenny G.

10:31am voteformichelle:

We need more Awesome Time next wednesday am

10:32am ultradamno:

I will say this in favor of the Mikey Mike/Chucky Chuck reincarnation theory: anyone who resorts to Annie-style child choirs is clearly a potential murder cult leader.

10:33am F¶F¶ (:

What's the name again of the guy talking all the Rolling Stones live mic breaks?

10:33am doctorjazz:

Maybe JM in the AM?

10:34am FernandoBelmondo:

Dylan, forget about Sweden and come to Brazil, PLEASE!

10:34am Listener142985:

stones talk guy = David Greenberge

10:35am F¶F¶ (:

Thanks, Listener142985!

10:35am Sam:

I like that idea doctorjazz, I was just thinking this morning that I miss the Jewish music with my coffee.

10:36am howard in nyc:

How do you get to 'negro amor' from 'baby blue'? But I can't hate on that phrase.

10:36am wild neil:

peace all. At the BIG lab today will burn some stuff at 1700 F ....why dont people use drawings when they are supposed to!

🚽

10:38am -Ken:

Title makes sense to me Howard, it's a bitter breakup song

10:38am wild neil from a smartphone:

ken i made a very modest pledge still waiting for invoice.

10:39am Listener142985:

GreenbergeR. Lost last r.

10:40am F¶F¶ (:

Did you know...

David Greenberge has a track where he recites the Peanut Duck dance song (originally sang by the most mysterious singer in the history of rock and also in the history of roll)!?

10:43am fm Mike:

doctorjazz, love the name.

10:43am doctorjazz:

(@Sam-at least we should get Hatikfa before the 9AM DJ rocks out!)

10:43am fm Mike:

LOL @ this rpm.

10:49am Sam:

Yeah, that was the best

10:51am wild neil:

damn listener Robert you say some abrasive shit.

10:53am wild neil:

this vu cover by eno rocks!

10:54am Sam:

Great gif for it

10:55am howard in nyc:

I'll buy that Ken. I just choose interpret 'black love' more positively. Being a 'negro' (w/o the French accent). A big advocate of 'negro amor'

10:56am JP from KC:

Hiya, folks. OOh, the badges are back! I'm a Swag-4-Lifer, Ken. I mean, if you're still handing them out.

🚽

10:58am Webhamster Henry:

Which WFMU Show is the Nina Simone-iest?

🚽

10:59am -Ken:

Will be handing them out tonight, top anybody who requests them before noon today. Can do more after I get back from toucanneting.

10:59am Listener142985:

David GreenbergeR does lots of really weird and interesting things. Worth following.

11:00am doctorjazz:

Don't know, but sure hear Nina Simone more now than I can recall in the past.

11:00am doctorjazz:

Catch me up on the badges, Voos is Doos?

11:02am SeanG:

we can be heroes just for one day

11:03am Sam:

How about a 3 hour show of different versions of "I believe I can fly"?

11:07am Lizardner Dave:

I'm a swag for lifer who pledged on top of it to fill the Nachum Gap. Can I get a yarmulke instead of a heart in addition to my radio?

11:07am jan:

Yeah, Ken, that was kind of a hostile takeover of BS&T by David Clayton Thomas-never knew how that happened, but the resulting group was terrible. Tunes from
the original band and it's progenitor, blues project would be a good antidote.

11:07am howard in nyc:

I need one, Ken. Swag pledge. Thank you very much.

11:08am tomasz.:

hey Ken, i'll have a badge please! normal rather than S4L, as yet

🚽

11:08am Webhamster Henry:

Right - the first, Al Koopery BS&T Album is great!

11:08am Bronwyn Bishop:

cool cover of one of the best early beach boys tunes!

11:09am Sam:

Similar to the Like a Team version

11:09am doctorjazz:

Ok, I'm a Swag For Life pledger who increased to a Mouse this year (Nachum deficient year). I'll go for the badge (even though I don't know what I'm going for...)

11:10am Mieka:

You delivered on all your radio promises this morning, Ken.

11:10am tomasz.:

i may not be a Major Tom, but i am a significant one

11:10am ant brain:

you're killing it w/ this playlist, ken

🚽

11:13am Webhamster Henry:

More isolated tracks please! Duane has been playing a few, they are great! I did a little remix of "I want you Back" with just Michael Jackson and Wilton Felder's bass track.

11:14am quinn:

yes i love this. i'm belting out this song in my attic.

11:14am F¶F¶ (:

Like a Team's version is SO good a classic band, say The Beach Boys, should cover it.

11:17am fm Mike:

Oh god that raven gif distresses me so much... I guess it serves its purpose lol

11:17am F¶F¶ (:

EDGAAAAAAR ALLLAAAAAAAN POOOO-!!!!!!

Wait..Is it ok to shout non-musical entities? I easily forget the strict comment policies.

11:17am grace gold way:

my father teaches a university english course on poe. he loves this version.

11:17am Planet Tyler:

This reading of The Raven makes me think of Nick Cave's narration of The Cat Piano

11:17am MD:

This guys like a poet!!!

11:18am howard in nyc:

Trivia: two of the voices on that spoken word rap behind Marvin Gaye's What's Going On were NFL stars Lem Barney and Mel Farr of the Detroit Lions. So old that track, the Lions were good.

11:18am fm Mike:

F¶F¶ ( that's okay :)

11:19am fm Mike:

Also, F¶F¶ (, have you heard of John Cooper Clarke? He was a musician who did a lot of spoken word at his concerts.

11:21am John & Wendy:

What was the song at the very beginning of the Marvin Gaye/Bowie mix? Female vocal. "Things will get better someday?"

11:22am F¶F¶ (:

Never heard of him (I'm assuming he is a man), fm Mike. Thanks!

11:23am tomasz.:

John Cooper Clarke closed out a Sopranos episode once. it was good

11:25am fm Mike:

Ohhhh nice transition!!!

11:25am F¶F¶ (:

This Snoh Aelera sounds like Portishead. Or is it a mashup?

11:27am Ike:

Pls install a heart in me later! Thx!

11:31am rsj:

never realized how giffy this track is

11:31am Bronwyn Bishop:

can i have a heart even though i could only afford to pledge $22? serious question and one i should probably already know the answer to, sorry

11:33am JakeGould:

Edgar Allen Pooey-Flute

11:33am Planet Tyler:
