Morning everybody! Time to get your early requests in and also to decide what time you're going to make a pledge and move me off that pathetic 3% mark.
...paid tomorrow...time I think to move up from T-Shirt Level Pledge...which probably doesn't even pay for my stream use - much less for the constant annoyance I provide...
Thank you Cort! I would love to get to 15% today peoples. I think every new T-shirt pledge ($50) will move my total up one percent. I got a reputation to maintain here peoples...

Ken, today your show is off to a promising start. Pure musical pleasure, no torturous conceptual programming foundation.
Runaways! Yesterday I got to shake Joan Jett's hand. She was interviewed for Soundcheck and said she still has a soft spot for the Runaways (and was singing along to the track we played off mic). Still cool!
I read the interview in Spanish and nowhere Tom Yorke says "Spotify is like the fart of a dying corpse" like some media is reporting. He said something that sounded similar but boring. So in someway I approve of the misleading news info.
i just called up my coworker and said, "ken's making me listen to crickets. wanna go smoke a cigarette?" and she said, "why the fuck do you donate money to that station?".
...an Ode to Robert Anton Wilson ?...I've owed him $5 for years...

amanda, you could answer her: "Because I love crickets!!" And then laugh manically whilst rubbing your legs together and making cricket sounds. Then she will understand.
Pocket Vito, sounds like you still have the old version - the working version is 3.0.1 - not version 3.0. Version 3.0 is a piece of shit and its all Andy Breckman's fault. But version 3.0.1 works great.
You Know...David Lean vehicles...always Rainny the way I like London...someone sadly leaves or dies or both...or maybe spys....yes my wife thinks I should be on Meds...!!!
I am happy to be here live for Ken's show. No job because of funding cuts. Won't be able to go to the record fair this year. But I am still going to pledge something this month. My mom dropped off a fresh pig head on the porch.
Chickens are another useful animal. besides the obvious eggs and delicious meat they give, they eat unwanted bugs. If you have a fly problem a couple of them will eat up all of them in a few hours. but my wife doesn't let me bring the cluckers in the house.
They want to make dinosaurs by turning off more recent chicken genes - a Chickensaurus : www.bing.com...
- but ethics prevents them from bringing the eggs to term...
i have this L'Trimm album on tape and i played it on a road trip with my friend and he absolutely hated it. the whole thing can be hard to listen to, but i don't see how anyone could not love this song
I've always assumed that Ken has his 'dance' gifs organized by bpm and matches them to the bpm of the song. But I also assume that Ken can transport small items through time and space.
Clicky-starring the living hell out of this Meridian Brothers thing.

That was the other interpret'n (I was thinking more Mafia than Middle East), but it didn't seem to make sense that they would like guys who get blown up in their cars.
I like seeing Ken do talks with audiences not necessarily associated or who don't really connect with wfmu. He is so good at talking and sounding professional. But please, Ken. Don't ever do a TED Talks.
Oh no, dear Sir!! We need to compare oranges to oranges, apples to apples. Having said that:
Khlam > T.A.t.U
Meridian Brothers > Aterciopelados

Robert:
I haven't listened to "On The Media" in years, but I enjoyed it too, mostly to laugh at them for trying to be cool but really being so clueless while they tried to do stories about how the REST of the media were so clueless. Have they improved?
...is it me - or is her bra Godzilla hands giving the finger?...

Okasa,
So wait a minute..My theory says is only an illusion we see the Gifs synch with the music. I mean, how come they synchronize so nicely with the music if each Gif loads in our own computers? An animated gif starts beating only after it is 100% loaded (and loading depends on the internet).
My other explanation theory explores this phenomenon through a magic lens.
I'm pretty sure Frank was deeply in love with Gail and his children. His definition of 'Love' just had nothing to do with not sleeping with groupies. And nothing to do with how 'Love' was portrayed in pop songs.
Hey! Im doinf comedy this Friday Night at the New York Comedy Club at 9pm and I need ten people to come out so I can get into the anti-comedy union. Its 241 East 24th Street between 2nd and 3rd. Come to the show! I will buy you a drink.
@F⋚F⋚ (, yeah, but once the gif loads, it plays at a fixed bpm, which will sync to a song played at the same bpm. Or, Ken is fiddling with your optic nerves using some very advanced tech only available to DARPA and WFMU.
Sheesh. Computer issues here, but luckily I finally managed to get here. So, speedy gif check:
-Saturn is from British marionation show "Space Patrol"
-"Shingeki no Kyojin", whose whole wall plot kinda reminds me of "Game of Thrones"
-monkey drummer is from the music video for The Avalanches' song "Frontier Psychiatrist"
-the cockroach band is from the movie "Joe's Apartment"
-"Breaking Bad" and "Oz" all in a row, nice! Sheesh that "Oz" musical episode...
-disco dance instructions from Åke Blomqvist (aw, he just died a while back...)
-Coleen Gray in "Nightmare Alley"
No, I have not tagged my dance GIFs with the proper BPM but someday I shall. For now I try to beat match visually. But enough about ME! Who is coming to the comedy show Friday night?!!
Ken, I wish I could be there for the act. REALLY wish I could be there. It would be awesome to see. But I can't. Reason is I live in the middle of Vermont and it would cost. But if I did go I would take that drink. AND wear my 7SD where's my two dollars shirt.
Man, we need a bullet train that goes from my house and directly to Ken's comedy act. And it to be free for guys with long hair and beards and who keep being asked if they are the guy from Duck Dynasty. Boy I wish I had a nickle for every time some jack ass asks me or tells me I look like the guy from Duck Dynasty. I would give all those nickles to wfmu during rocktober.

Hey listeners, I've been to a Ken Freedman comedy show and you DON'T want to miss it!
