Vinyl Fetish photos! Yay! (Also vinyl records yay.) Good morning Ken and all!

9:03am Ken:

Morning all Vinyl Fetishists!

9:04am Dale from North Dakota:

Morning Ken!

9:05am steve:

I have to thank you for the Singles Going Steady week because its forcing a few 'hits' on to the air and to see what WFMU dj's consider worthy selections in this category is great stuff.

9:06am Skirkie:

Off to a good start I'd say, in the photo aspect.

9:07am Ken:

I agree Steve! It's really refreshing to hear so many SONGS on FMU, isnt it?

9:10am Parq:

One thing I'm really enjoying is noting the difference among dj's whose shows sound pretty much the same as always, those who are prompted by the concept to do almost completely different stuff, and those whose shows are different in fairly subtle ways.

9:10am Dale from North Dakota:

I'm just waiting to see what Fabio does with his show. Hopefully, play a lot of Clay's Seventies schmaltz hits, lol

9:11am clyde stubblefied:

Good morning Ken- did you play the "Tea Bag" sample last week?? - could not find in if so can you play it again - i really need to sample it for a gig on Friday nite

9:14am Ken:

Sorry Clyde, that's on a CD, in the New Bin - I wont have time to diog through and find it.. you are on YOUR OWN!

9:16am steve:

Quitreme Mucho by Albert Hammond, that's what all the earplugs are heading for...

9:24am Ken:

It's nice that you have something to play, not just the usual nihilism.

9:26am jmd:

Ooh, when the flag speaks does it have Jack Webb's voice? Can't wait!

9:27am Elizabeth:

Ken's show is proof that there is a god. My god anyway.

9:28am jen v.:

honestly can't wait for mariah to be played.

9:29am Cecile:

Ken, I'm sending you the link for a great mashup with an equally great image to put on your website. For next week.

I'd love to hear the 45 of the Original Sins' "Sugar Sugar". That's such an evil cover.

9:35am steve:

there's a skip in this track

9:37am dc pat:

ken, riding on the edge today...

9:37am Cecile:

Ken, there is an amazing photo spread of Zach Galifinakis in a red maillot swimsuit at Vanity Fair. But you wore it better

9:37am tdrs:

col. williams collected undies?

9:38am Cecile:

Do you have God's Gift's "Discipline'? na na na na Discipline. na na na na

9:40am dc pat:

Minor Threat, yeah. DC in the haus.

9:43am postmanpaul:

An accommodating centre hole and a good 7"s thinly vinyled sexual innuendo will do very nicely, thank you.

9:43am D:

Listening to Ken's program is a minor threat to my wholesome reputation.

9:44am Laura L:

Daniel Johnston's singing on this number bears some resemblance to Arto Lindsay's voice! Great show, Ken.

9:46am Dan B From Upstate:

Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter... Oooh shit! Clarence Carter!

9:47am Jan:

Ken, you are the only DJ ever who PLayed Apache by JorgEn Ingram if I have the name right. It was a 45- can you play it today, please. We are in a car now in NJ going to Philadelphia - there by 11:00. Thanks

9:48am John from Oslo:

Sassyfied ;)

9:50am Cecile:

9:50am Lizardner Dave:

Uh, is this a web-only show?

9:51am Sister Mary Elephan:

9:52am dc pat:

9:52am Cecile:

Sonics Rendevous, you must play.

9:52am English Anarchist:

9:53am Bad Ronald:

9:57am kevin Oster:

9:57am Hermano:

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen...

9:57am Dan B From Upstate:

The American Flag has a nice velvety voice. It's like satin in my ears!

9:58am dc pat:

BR: that's what I'm thinking.. did I tell you I got my drums back? MAN, they are in bad shape...

9:58am Cecile:

the satin of freedom, dan b.

9:58am D:

Speak English or die!

9:59am Lizardner Dave:

The American flag later made a boatload of money doing voice overs for movie commercials.

10:00am Dan B From Upstate:

The music faded. The flag doesn't seem to have the same command in it's voice...

10:00am annie:

oh, that was a conflict?????

10:00am Bad Ronald:

@DC Pat - can you rehab them?

10:01am D:

Everyone should stand and remove their headwear.

10:03am D:

I feel like I'm in East Germany.

10:03am Miller:

Ruined such a beautiful set with this pseudo-patriotic dross

10:03am dc pat:

some of it has to be replaced--completely rusted HH stand!--but some of it has already been fixed once. The poor fella is over 30 years old... I did get back my HUGE 20" Zildjan. Thing sounds amazing.

10:05am still b/p:

Liking the picture of Lonesome pitching his pitch for Vita-Jax!

10:05am D:

Go back to France, Miller.

10:05am Bad Ronald:

Depending on how bad the rust is you may be able to clean up some of the hardware. The Zildjan should last you a lifetime.

10:08am annie:

how vacuous this sounds

10:08am D:

I'm going to have to put on Dave Emory in a moment.

10:10am annie:

thurth? oh crickey

10:10am dc pat:

that's why you lay the big money down on those cymbals. But they do crack some times.. Anyway, the kit is, as we use to say, "good enough for punk rock"....or "good enough for the kids"

10:11am Bad Ronald:

Amen!

10:12am Sam:

Have you heard the snake national anthem? It goes "America, America, God shed his skin on thee!"

10:13am jaw:

Is this the new mariah?

10:13am John from Oslo:

Sabian Paragon crash!

10:13am AnAnonymousParty:

There's a yackety tuba too.

10:15am dc pat:

Now THIS is radio!

10:16am dc pat:

I gotta say, singles going steady is my fave FMU week.

10:19am AnAnonymousParty:

"He may be the green in Irish Spring", or the white stuff in Elmer's glue."
Priceless.

10:25am John from Oslo:

THIS ROCKS!

10:26am AnAnonymousParty:

Hey, is this from Arkansas?

10:27am Dan B From Upstate:

Not quite sure... are we still in the patriotic part of the show?

10:27am annie:

10:28am dc pat:

A line from a script I'm learning: "Oh, seven is deep..."

10:39am Miller:

10:40am Michelle in Green Bay:

Damn. I just snorted coffee out of my nose. Thanks, Ken. Thanks a lot. Viva Mariah!

10:40am mike g:

Haha! Thanks to trying to win over a girl in 7th grade, Mariah's first album was the first tape I ever bought on my own. Special memories.

10:42am Carmichael:

Good Lord, Ken.

10:42am Bad Ronald:

Again with the errant Marilyn pic. No pics of miss crazy herself?

10:43am Miller:

10:45am John from Oslo:

10:49am dc pat:

10:52am Mark:

The damn Long Island Railroad is doing maintenace work this weekend and is having "extremely limited LIRR service, especially between Jamaica Station and Penn Station into Penn Station" and they "Recommend LIRR should be used for essential business travel only". Does the WFMU record fair qualify as "essential business"?

10:53am steve:

11:21am rosh:

11:23am annie:

11:23am Detroit Mac:

You know what "Dutch Treat" means? (no treat at ALL)
Dutch Courage? (Courage inspired by drinking liquor)
Dutch Uncle? (one who criticizes and reproves with unsparing serverity)
And before you know it, they will dam up the Great Lakes and cut all our doors in half (they already killed off our Elm Trees)

11:24am Bad Ronald:

You forgot Dutch Oven...

11:24am Mark:

11:25am Carmichael:

11:25am AnAnonymousParty:

11:27am Detroit Mac:

11:28am Ken:

11:30am rosh:

CL Campbell is my new old hero or maybe just this amazing 45.Thanks,ken!

11:30am dei x:

Just piping in because I saw no mention of a Dutch Aunt... go ask the sailor with the handful of crisco about that one.

11:31am Sam:

Lovely! That's what we all think of you!

11:31am Bad Ronald:

I thought that was a "Dutch Bride".

11:32am Sam:

Holland is the greatest country on earth. Everybody's nice and you can do whatever you want and never be judged. Plus you can bike everywhere.

11:32am dei x:

Depends on the length of the voyage

11:33am Sam:

Ken, you know what we all think of you?
"Lovely"

11:35am AnAnonymousParty:

They you got run over by the school bus and left this stubborn stain on the pavement to remind me of how much I hated you.

11:36am Bas, NL:

Oh, well, it's nice and rainy here in the Netherlands. And i do ride a bike, so i'm sopping wet all the time...

A wet Dutchman... That should be slang for something.. Failed to put his finger in the dike probably.

11:37am Dan B From Upstate:

Played this for my girlfriend. Despite hearing it, she still acts like the dad in the story toward her two little ones.

11:37am Sam:

I know a wet Dutchwoman.... she had her finger in a dyke

11:38am jaw:

creeped out and depressed - thanks!

11:38am Ken:

I think a Wet Dutchman is another name for a Teabagging Dirty Sanchez

11:41am Bas, NL:

@Ken: Yup, probably! A Wet Dutchman is shorter though..

11:42am rosh:

i think Johnny Sea would be quite proud of the display of American Spirit in this here comments thread. USA! USA! USA!

11:55am Happy Listener:

Great show as always. I don't know if Dexy's intended it, but it almost sounds likey they're making fun of the "yelpy" vocal style so popular in UK pop that era.

11:56am Ken:

oh COME ON Annie!!!! Give us ONE DETAIL before the show ends!!

11:57am postmanpaul:

He was top yelper HL.
