Welcome to the really real Ken's show at the WFMU radio station! Thank you very much.

We are going to listen and dance to Elvira all morning. That's all to it. That's all the instructions you have. That's it. I'm sorry. That's the whole show right here together.

We are going to start in just a minute, y'all!

🚽

9:02am Vivian:

Good Morning All! Normally, I don't share what I dreamt, but last night involved WFMU. I arrived an hour early at the station to prep for my show, full disclosure I hosted a radio show in college. Albums cracked in my hands when I attempted to remove them from the turntable. Linda Ronstadt and Minor Threat were among my selections however, I kept falling behind with periods of dead air. This is all after a stressful day. What does it mean???

9:03am John from NP:

@vivian it means you're more than qualified to work at FMU

🚽

9:04am Handy Haversack:

Morning, all! Bedazzle us, SMKF!

9:08am -Ken:

Morgen alles!

9:08am David (in London):

Hey @Snoochie and hey too @morphe

9:08am Brendan:

In 2011, in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the Oak Ridge Boys original recording of Elvira, a new version was recorded and released on "It's Only Natural", an album released exclusively through Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. Oh. Boy.

Careful everybody, I am playing a lot of songs with melodies and regular time signatures again.

9:15am kevlicki:

Good morning Ken

9:16am egal:

As long as the melodies and time signatures are ironic ones.

9:16am pantz:

What gives, Ken? These sound like normal, great sounding songs. Did you bump your head?

9:16am fleep:

Rise and shine. Or matte finish, your choice.

9:16am ԇoԇo (:

Can we request Negative Harmony GIFs?

9:16am Brendan:

9:18am kevlicki:

Ken, I don’t know what to say, other than I’m enjoying this!

9:18am melinda:

Morning Ken and all!

Is Big Blood WFMU's favorite band? I think they might be, and for good reason

🚽

9:19am Webhamster Henry:

9:19am -Ken:

@Brendan, unfortunately this does mean no Rush today. Sorry about that.

9:19am holland oats:

9:19am melinda:

I'm enjoying the melodies.

9:20am morphe':

Go Melodic Ken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oxymoron???
Melodic Ken????

9:20am crateslinger:

what is the deal with this band (Big Blood)?

Who are these people?

🚽

9:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

I hope Monty Hall is on the Big Blood 2020 North America Tour schedule this summer. I also hope there is a Big Blood 2020 North America Tour.

9:21am Don Pickles:

Mainers. I’ve never been a big fan until I heard Insecure Kids on FMU.

9:22am Yes:

good morning all

9:22am Snoochienucci:

@KFHP we can dream! are they not from America? Thought they were from Maine for some reason

🚽

9:22am -Ken:

We're working very hard on the dream bill of Big Blood and The Wild Irish Roses together at Monty Hall

9:23am morphe':

Big Blood = 2 folks sitting in the wolds of MA/NH???
How does one pay for food and fuel???
I want in...
They are actually fantastic!!!!!!

🚽

9:23am karlward:

And the second hour will be nothing but James Chance run through a thoroughly brutal autotune.

9:23am Neil M:

This is a killer set. So tasty. Love it.

9:23am mouskowitz:

@Ken if you pull that off, I'll come all the way from Ohio. and NO ONE leaves Ohio. EVER!

9:23am Homer J.:

Mmmmm….. Irish roses...…

🚽

9:23am -Ken:

Just be really careful with the melodies people. Wash your hands a lot and try not to let the melodies touch your inner ears

9:24am Michele with One "L":

This is the prog show right?

9:24am Don Pickles:

Why-o, why-o did I ever leave Ohio?

🚽

9:24am Webhamster Henry:

Ken has proved on past shows that one note suffices.

9:24am crateslinger:

@mouskowitz - half of Brooklyn is from Ohio!

🚽

9:24am Handy Haversack:

That would be one singularity of a bill, Ken!

9:25am mouskowitz:

@crateslinger --and I just moved to Ohio from Brooklyn...

9:25am morphe':

The Wild Irish Roses live
11am Mon w/Joe Mcgasko????
correct me if wrong please.....

9:26am Snoochienucci:

@Ken that show would be awesome!!!!

9:26am crateslinger:

What city in Ohio? I lived in Cincinatti back when Cinci wasn't cool.

9:26am Don Pickles:

Half of Maine is from Brooklyn.

9:27am Sam:

Half of Louisiana is from Maine.

9:28am crateslinger:

but I'm not sure I ever learned to spell it...

9:29am mouskowitz:

we moved to Columbus in August. I haven't seen the sun in months.

9:29am Brendan:

‘Bout time you got some shiny fiddle made of gold music up in this bitch

🚽

9:30am Handy Haversack:

Half of New Hampshire is from R'lyeh.

9:30am crateslinger:

that steel town pic looks like jersey city as you head south from downtown toward the heights.

Columbus is fun. Lots of rock and roll. Used to be lots of skinheads but I think they're gone now.

9:30am morphe':

Must go and get foodstuff for the wee lad's dinner... back shortly if not arrested by the Spanish police for not looking appropriate and "fitting in.."

🚽

9:30am Handy Haversack:

The other half of Old Hampshire, too.

9:31am crateslinger:

looking north tho, so I guess it would be as you head north from the heights toward downtown, on whatever that main street is where all the finance wives take their babies for coffee.

9:32am mouskowitz:

the skinheads are gone! best thing about this city is how progressive & queer it is. good music venues too. it helps ease the shock of shipping this new york jew off to the heartland.

9:33am thatpatsmith:

thanks for caring

9:33am Sam:

Playing songs with melodies = Selling Out!

9:33am steveo:

funny you should mention this pretty much everyday i wake up with some 80s pop song stuck in my head only wfmu can save me so different melodies are fine

9:33am egal:

I no longer feel comfortable listening to this show. I feel disrespected and erased.

9:33am crateslinger:

We used to pack the car full of drunks and head to Columbus for shows. Saw the Misfits, Steel Pulse... too few braincells to remember anything else.

9:33am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

sir! with respect could we hear Negativeland - the gun and the bible?

9:34am steveo:

if you play the police i might die, though

9:34am Aaron Working In Newark:

You crack me the F up SMK

9:34am crateslinger:

if it remember correct - it's about an hour north on I-75 cincii to columbus.

9:34am Tom in Heights:

Don't worry, I've developed ear plugs to keep the melody out but the sound in

9:34am egal:

steveo do do do do not give him any ideas.

9:35am kevlicki:

stereo sadly I woke up with a pop country tune in my head, thankfully W&B remedied that

🚽

9:35am Handy Haversack:

Today Ken plays "The Bedazzler": odds?

9:36am Sam:

He's not just playing melodies, he's broadcasting them through the public airwaves, potentially infecting the entire population! So irresponsible.

9:36am steveo:

pop country? good luck!

9:36am steveo:

SO CATCHY

9:37am ԇoԇo (:

I'm a WFMU listener and I'm fed up with the melodies. Anti-melodies please!

9:38am Wilson in SO:

What, are you happy today Ken? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!

9:39am ԇoԇo (:

THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTHHHSSSS!

Wait. Never heard of them.

9:40am Snoochienucci:

The beths?!?!?!?!?!?!? YES. Kenny-baby!

9:40am Wilson in SO:

If you keep playing palatable indie pop featuring female vocalists IRWIN WILL HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO PLAY

9:40am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

a good dose of negative land fixes anything!...ken:)

9:40am Krista with a K:

Yay, melodies! Now I don't have to turn FMU off.

9:41am Sam:

Yeah phillip I agree, it cleanses the palate like nothing else.

9:41am holland oats:

typical pump and dump

9:41am Androu B.:

Gut Morgen, Herr Friedman,
Just in case you didn't catch my initial report on this during 7SD, Rammstein is about to embark on a North American tour later this year. Details here:
<url>https://www.rammstein.de/de/tickets/</url>

9:42am weiterso:

like sugar. too much isn't good, but who cares

9:42am ԇoԇo (:

Wilson in SO,

I think Irwin's will become a jazz show! We need to stop Ken NOW!

9:44am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

there you have it KEN. Sam and i agree...NEGATIVELAND!

9:45am Wilson in SO:

Ken, you’re obsessed with Germany and asses, remember? Wo ist meine leeetle babee aneemal??

9:45am Brian C.:

I think we're going to hear some Bettie Serveert

9:45am Sam:

"you’re obsessed with Germany and asses, remember?"
Ha!!

9:46am ԇoԇo (:

The policy is very clear, though, Listener Phillip. There's has to be a shooting in progress for Ken to play Negativland song's of guns.

🚽

9:47am PigeonsAndRust:

It really does seem that there is a correlation with Ken's dehorning and playing songs with melodies

9:48am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

A Shooting! WAIT 5 minutes and there will be one here in the bronx. is that adequate enought ken:)

🚽

9:49am -Ken:

This has gotten out of control I need to pull out of this

9:49am ԇoԇo (:

FEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

For the people asking who's Fea covering? Gloria Trevi.

🚽

9:49am Ken From Hyde Park:

Are melodies at half-speed still melodies? One way to find out.

9:50am Wilson in SO:

Blaze one and get your head right man

9:50am Sam:

Never should have gotten rid of that horn. Don't fight nature.

🚽

9:50am -Ken:

Yes please let me know when there is a shooting so I can play Negativland already even a machete attack anything jesus i gotta pull out of this dive before I play Mountain

10:00am -Ken:

10:01am Snoochienucci:

ooo its skirlly Handy!

10:01am Wilson in SO:

Honestly you should just do an hour of Art Blakey deep cuts followed by Amanda and really screw Irwin

10:01am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

well this new flashlight 1200 lumins battery died. and no one in the whole East Tremont section of the bronx has a 3.7V "button top" battery:(

10:01am John from Florham park:

10:02am Phil in Charlotte:

Morning everybody!

10:02am John from Florham park:

10:02am crateslinger:

@melinda, depends - are opioids cool?

10:03am SheWolf:

Normally the sound of bagpipes makes me want to murder kittens but this one I can dig.

10:03am steveo:

these melodious bags are a part of segue to a massive drone set,right?

10:04am D. Lightfoot:

This joke is really only good for about a minute

🚽

10:05am karlward:

Bring on the brutally autotuned James Chance!

10:05am cl@m_digger:

@-Ken ok that’s great news! Proof you can’t trust the lame stream media

10:05am Snoochienucci:

@JFFP hahha auto correct never fails

10:06am weiterso:

'the gael' is also great

10:06am steveo:

you couldn't tell from the squealy vocal noises?

10:06am ԇoԇo (:

John from Florham park,

10:06am prudy:

clearly a moral failing on your part, Ken....

10:07am David (in London):

John, no, all quiet, no admin today. You have been invited to judge a 'Most Humourous Vegetable Competition' soon though.

10:08am John from Florham park:

@David will be there

10:08am egal:

My ears are bleeding from those melodies. I need an antidote.

10:09am Webhamster Henry:

Chris T did a backward /forward WFMU station Id.

🚽

10:10am Webhamster Henry:

And I did an answering machine message that way too.

10:10am Blix:

That's essentially Lynch's Red Room technique from Twin Peaks, isn't it?

10:10am holland oats:

oh my god

10:11am prudy:

this isn't sung backwards for lots of reasons...

🚽

10:11am Ken From Hyde Park:

Accompanied by backwards / backwards pooeyflute for good measure.

10:11am YETI BOB:

this is amazing

10:11am mariano:

Wait, how did I wind up in the Black Lodge?

10:11am Wilson in SO:

thank god, something unlistenable

If you build a stairway to Heaven you'll just find a locked baby gate at the top that you can't get past.

10:11am Webhamster Henry:

Jeroen => "yer-OON"
If it's backward phonetic Dutch, it must be C.H.U.D.

🚽

10:12am David (in London):

@Blix - Yes, apparently by chance Michael Anderson had a childhood ability to speak backwards. And This Heat used to learn to play their own compositions backwards and then turn them into new pieces.

10:12am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Someone did the same for "New York, New York" decades ago; Barry Hansen played it on the (much superior) local version of his "Dr Demento" show on KMET.

10:12am Snoochienucci:

are we gonna make it all the way thru?!!??!

10:12am weiterso:

shittyflute got a voice?

10:12am βrian:

Sounds teutonic to my ears.

10:12am Planet Tyler:

I thought this would be of an improvement of Stairway but just goes to show you how enduring the uninteresting crappiness of the song is

10:12am mariano:

Equally unsettling video for Stairway: www.youtube.com...

10:12am sydnius:

That gum you like is going to come back in style.

Oh derp, it's right there in the song description, sorry!

10:13am John from Florham park:

I agree with stairway to heaven

this is awesome and terrifying like a window to the underworld aieeeee

10:13am Fletchernyc:

Damn fine coffee.

10:13am ԇoԇo (:

Oh, Ken. You look so cute forgetting that very first lesson taught in radio college. Make sure to put the CD/vinyl in the player before playing it.

10:13am Brendan:

Backwards is good. I switched the polarity of the plug on my microwave . It now can freeze a glass of water in 1 minute.

I also hear the owls aren't what they seem on these stairs.

10:13am The Oscar:

I like to think this guy's a devout Satanist and he was horrified to realize what happened when he played his song backward.

10:13am Hubig Pie:

The Piper is at the gates of dawn playing All Tomorrows Parties

10:14am steveo:

wish the guitar solo could be backwards backwards

10:14am Ike:

Is this The Man from Another Place's Mexican non-union equivalent?

10:14am holland oats:

ooh my sweet station

10:14am egal:

The Oscar I imagine devotees of Crowley are boycotting this version of the song.

10:15am Brendan:

Ken , Didacts and Narpets next ? It does the same backwards technique. And as a bonus, its Rush.

10:15am blee:

Amazing. Sounds completely regular.

10:16am morphe':

As I had to go get foodstuff.
why less music at Monty ???
Public complaints???

10:16am YETI BOB:

Awɘƨomɘ!

10:16am Snoochienucci:

hahaha this is so nuts. The power of the band is somehow managing to come through the vocals hahaha

10:16am Aaron Working In Newark:

was that a kazoo? I hope so...

10:17am Blix:

That's cool about This Heat; didn't know that. I love those albums.

10:17am Webhamster Henry:

It might be good to mash this up with Wing.

10:17am David (in London):

If Percy Plant won't join a Zep reunion, Jimmy Page has a new option....

The whole day is backwards now. That was genius.

I think this negative harmony concept could go even further. Loud when the original is soft, fast when the original is slow, etc.

🚽

10:20am David (in London):

This could be a Ween piss-take.

10:21am Mr. Pumpy:

Hello Ken and all! Digging this negative harmony.

10:21am Planet Tyler:

This is a little better cos it's not as recognizable

10:21am mariano:

Yes, exactly David (in London). Hey Mr. Pumpy.

You can get those 7 minutes back if you pledge more than $75 to the marathon.

If you pledge $5000 you can get back all the time you've ever wasted listening to WFMU. That's a very generous premium!

10:22am Hubig Pie:

Everyone knows it's Windy

10:23am YETI BOB:

I appreciate that Steve Cruikshank actually played and sang this, instead of just manipulating files on a digital audio workstation

10:23am steveo:

this is kurt cobain on vocals, right?

10:23am Fletchernyc:

Does anybody remember laughter?

10:23am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Back around 1982, on her original "Movie Macabre" on KHJ-TV in L.A., Cassandra Peterson (and future Jambi the Genie John Paragon) did a moderately filthy lip-synch and dance routine to the Oak Ridge Boys' "Elvira". (That was her best show because it wasn't limited to copyright-free movies, they had the KHJ movie library—they shewed [e.g.] "Peeping Tom," Lemora", and "Count Yorga, Vampire"…also she wasn't tired of it.)

10:23am Marley Dogg:

Staysh - you crack me up

10:23am Mr. Pumpy:

:
Hey mariano...playing hooky and no one knows! I needed to!

10:24am morphe':

David in London - did ya see the Cat image of listener Roberto.. It is you with a cat mask, no???
I am an overaged, long ,long, long time listener /supporter/volunteer but Ken forbids me from posting an image lest it causes an ugly e -crash...

10:24am YETI BOB:

@Fletchernyc: I laughed once, so I can remember what it felt like and fake it. (Apologies to Ken)

10:24am Christoph:

really creepy but good!

10:25am Planet Tyler:

Well, it's been good for the comments board

10:25am egal:

This is the John Rutter version of Stairway.

10:26am Sam:

There really are people who seem like every time they laugh it's fake. People with no actual sense of humor. The kind of people that fake laugh at dumb things that aren't funny, then remain completely silent when something actually funny shows up.

10:26am YETI BOB:

this idea goes back (at least) to Bach

10:27am ignatatus666:

Star spangled banner?

10:27am ԇoԇo (:

Not to be confused with Harmony The Negative. That bitch.

10:27am Fletchernyc:

I feel my blood sugar rising

10:28am mariano:

Oh man, I once came up with a minor-key version of "Don't Worry Be Happy". Gotta dig that 4-track out of whatever box it's in.

10:28am ignatatus666:

Offerman was quite entertaining
The second cover was only interesting to see it was worse then offerman. Yet good that you don’t realize it’s a Zeppelin song.

10:28am Mr. Pumpy:

I'm always going to dance the way I danced with you...with everyone...forever

10:28am prudy:

this rates as noise pollution...

10:28am David (in London):

@morphe - Yes, it's me in another of my home-made animal masks. The gerbil one wasn't so successful however...

10:29am ignatatus666:

Greetings Mariano

10:29am Sam:

I'm never gonna dance again! Yes!! What a stroke of luck!

10:29am Mr. Pumpy:

Worry, Be Sad?

10:30am Chud:

My favorite Minor>Major is the "Radio Disney Angel of Death"

🚽

10:30am Webhamster Henry:

You can play Linda Gibbs' Tennessee Waltz from "They Came, They Played, They Blocked the Driveway". Which goes to a kind a Minor 6th filled kind of minor.

10:30am Sam:

You'd have to reverse the lyrics too. This good thing happened, that good thing happened...
Worry. Be sad.

10:30am listener james from westwood:

Holy shit, he’s become Spandau Ballet!

10:30am steveo:

I'm always gonna dance again
Innocent feet have so much rhythm
Though it's not easy to pretend
I know you are a fool

10:31am Brendan:

Rebrand him as Michael George and lets make some cash for the staysh

10:31am Mr. Pumpy:

@listener james...HA!

10:32am mariano:

You're listening to The Quiet Storm...

10:32am ԇoԇo (:

I think this sort of song treatment is for the worst as we can now understand the lyrics.

🚽

10:32am David (in London):

@steveo - Your lyrical re-write is inspired / inspiring.

10:33am mariano:

No, the lyrics were still Don't worry, be happy, but the music was all minor-key and sad.

10:34am Phillippe Bastille:

Howdy

10:36am steveo:

thx D(IL); the spirit moved me

10:37am Ike:

@steveo@10:30, LMFAO

10:37am βrian:

You can't dance like that while wearing a cardigan. Those pull-overs make all the difference.

10:37am ԇoԇo (:

If you slow down the Dont Worry, Be Happy song to a certain speed, it sounds like Andre the Giant. Can't remember the speed though. There's a youtube vid to prove it..

10:38am sydnius:

Rectangular

10:38am Sam:

Is there a minor key version of this?

10:39am mariano:

Since I didn't/don't know all the lyrics and couldn't be arsed to look them up, I improvised most of the verses. I think one was "If you have recently been sodomized/or otherwise mistreated and brutalized/Don't worry, be happy" and stuff like that.

10:39am Hubig Pie:

My 7-Up has got me down

10:39am ԇoԇo (:

Yes, Sam. It's called Diet dispepsi.

10:42am benji:

Bender!!

10:42am YETI BOB:

Aww, just makes me sad to hear John Lennon get messed with like this. He doesn't deserve it. I'll be back in a few minutes...

10:43am ԇoԇo (:

The only horrifying thing about this pepsi song is the last bit where the announcer talks in this unnatural, Univision-Telemundo neutral Spanish.

10:43am steveo:

oh come on, he deserves it

10:44am Sam:

"Getting Better" backwards:
Ask the law, he's dead, missed exit. Bad news, sad news... Ask the law, he's dead, he lost his head. Now he's voiceless.
They can't accept the news, I rehearsed finding you.... You were a cash cow!

10:44am YETI BOB:

ok maybe. this feels cheap though

10:45am morphe':

Must go pick up Simon at school.. thanks Ken and all..
Reminds of when Arnan's aunt... my sister, gave hime a "Save the Manatee" shirt and he started singing "KILL THE MANATEE" in an Elmer Fudd voice....
Thanks Ken

You’re a cruel master, Ken

10:54am Manana:

Steely Dan Twofer Wednesday! Sort of.

10:55am prudy:

yes...from the best Steel Danny record...

10:55am Mr. Pumpy:

Someone's acting a fool up in this piece?! I'm not catching it all...but if so, not cool. This is one of the few places I go to get away from the norm.

10:55am ԇoԇo (:

I survived the Jody song without removing my headphones...

Oh., for the love of god, Steele Dan! That I'm not sure if I can survive it

10:55am sydnius:

10:56am PigeonsAndRust:

This almost seems normal. I'm confused

10:56am steveo:

this steely stuff sure holds up eh

10:56am Patty D:

Wfmu should exclusively play yacht rock with little matty warwick at the helm.

10:56am ԇoԇo (:

Sorry, YETI BOB, I thought you were joking and you'd actually find funny to hear the genius Genius is Pain.

10:57am Mr. Pumpy:

MCABC

🚽

10:57am David (in London):

@YETI BOB - The joke's probably on them. Lennon was a Scouser and would doubtless have appreciated the piss-take.

10:57am steveo:

139 different releases wow wow

10:57am ԇoԇo (:

ignattatus666,

My soul brother in arms! Can't agree with you more than that

10:58am Fletchernyc:

10:58am Webhamster Henry:

It's the right season for Grove's Emulsified Nosedrops. Also for Castoria!

10:59am Fletchernyc:

Mother “nose”

11:00am βrian:

It all started in Texas, naturally.

11:01am Fletchernyc:

That Castoria belongs to me.

11:09am Carmichael:

Good morning, Kenneth. In honor of the late Neil Innes, could you play some GG Allin?

11:17am David (in London):

She could do Jew's Harp sound clash against Anton Bruhin.

11:17am steveo:

Ken, I've noticed an alarming trend in the frequency of Yoko songs played on this station, and I've created a chart.

docs.google.com...

Is there something that can be done to counteract this?

11:18am ԇoԇo (:

Just imageine, Beast of Boonton, an Olga tour:

Vienna Musikverein, Vienna.
Royal Albert Hall, London.
Konzerthaus, Berlin.
Syndey Opera House, Australia.
Monty Hall, New Jersey.

Dream tour.

11:19am mariano:

@Carmichael: I once got my cousin a GG Allin CD as a gag gift for Xmas (early/mid-90s). Her 15-year-old brother got a hold of it and thus began several years of his being in punk bands. I like to think I did some good in the world with that one.

11:19am Bjarne:

Straight out of Haugesund

11:20am ԇoԇo (:

steveo,

I propose playing negative harmony Yoko Ono's songs. Starting with DEF CON DOS's La Culpa de Todo la Tiene Yoko Ono!

🚽

11:20am -Ken:

@steveo, if I am reading your chart accurately AND I AM it appears that we are playing Yoko LESS, not more. The number of days since the last Yoko song is increasing, not decreasing.

11:21am steveo:

yes that's what's alarming; we need more yoko or we may shrivel up and die

🚽

11:22am David (in London):

@steveo - What is the R-squared value of the trendline?

11:23am prudy:

this german groove is reminiscent of 75 dollar bill or visa versa...

11:24am ԇoԇo (:

OOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOO OR WHOEVER THEY ARE RIPPPPPPPING OOOOOFFFFFFFF!!!

11:24am βrian:

11:30am ԇoԇo (:

steveo,

How do you scrap the data? Or do you have WFMU data privilegies? It would be interesting to check for any artist from a web app.

🚽

11:31am David (in London):

@steveo - I was only teasing really, but thanks, I shall dashboard that and see.

11:31am steveo:

@fofo I copied and pasted the results table from wfmu.org...
(you will note that i was too lazy to get all of the pages)

11:31am Diezel Tea:

Wow, this set has taken a hell of a fun turn!

11:32am steveo:

11:33am ԇoԇo (:

Thanks, steveo. Very interesting. And good job by the way!

11:34am ԇoԇo (:

David (in London),

Are you some sort of data wizard, data unicorn or data scientist or all of above?

11:35am Asheville Jon:

11:37am -Ken:

@webhamsterHenry - Isn't that new Porest all field recordings?

🚽

11:38am David (in London):

@ԇoԇo ( - I am all of those by profession. Might have a play around with it as a little aside and see what happens.

11:40am ԇoԇo (:

I searched for "porest new album" and google asked me back "Do you mean: poorest new albums?". And I said YES!

11:44am ԇoԇo (:

Yes, David (in London). Play with all the WFMU data. I know most data professionals spend most of the time cleaning data so in case you need it ask Ken for his dump button as it can get rid of all the bad stuff.

11:44am steveo:

you make me feel like a natural whiner

11:48am Aaron in Minneapolis:

I can tell you about my dump button.......

11:51am Sam:

Wasn't Don McLean just diagnosed with theremin cancer?
