7:32am Aaron in minneapolis:

Its time for my annual singles going steady request of Clarence carters stroking!

♥ 7:40am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning, 7" listeners. I trust the turntable power supplies are in tip-top shape and the platters are spinning accurately at 45 RPM. Plenty of fresh needles at the ready?

7:43am FɾFɾ (:

Hello, Ken, Aaron, Ken From HP!

Also, thanks, FEMA. We cannot underestimate the importance of emergency planning.

♥ 7:46am Rob (Jerzcity):

In alternate emergency news: WATCH OUT - THAT FLOOR IS LAVA!

7:55am cory:

mornin all

♥ 8:06am -Ken:

Hi again = you gotta really speak up today if you wanna hear the old 45 warhorses like Strokin' and Vision of Love and Jimmy and and and

8:17am FɾFɾ (:

Here are some alternate ideas to the threatening Visions of Love:

Vogel (featuring Ivor Cutler) - Guten Morgen
Inflateable Boy Clams - Skeletons
Faust - Green Side Extract
Can - Cascade Waltz
Father Harry, God Squad - Public Service Announcement
Stereolab - La Boob Oscillator
Rosko - Where Are You, Mama?
CL Campbell - Hey, Mayor Daley Man
Walter Brennan - Grandpa

8:18am Listener Robert:

Steve had an apparent ischemic episode yesterday (about 3 weeks after his aortic valve replacement) and is in the hospital, mental status cloudy. He's been a WFMU listener since the 1970s and has an uncounted number of "Shut Up, Weirdo" shirts.

♥ 8:21am -Ken:

Great requests f0f0. Sorry to hear about steve rg

8:32am Michael:

Mornin' Ken. If you do Walter Brennan, do Ruby, Don't take your love to town please.

♥ 8:41am -Ken:

I should be so lucky Michael. I cant play digital today, I have to have the 45 rpm record

♥ 8:48am Rob (Jerzcity):

any KLAAAAAAM!!! on the little rekkids?

♥ 8:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

I would enjoy some Johnny Cash on 45. If you play David Bowie simultaneously on a different turntable, can you do a mashup? Hazmat!

♥ 8:58am pantz:

Don't Try Suicide - Queen. I know that was the B-side to Under Pressure

♥ 8:59am pantz:

Actually B-side to Another One Bites the Dust

9:01am Jeff in Whately:

Thanks Clay. Have a great day everybody.

♥ 9:02am BnowB:

pop muzik - a little fast ? Im sure you have better up your record sleeve.

9:04am John in Bklyn:

OMG!!!! Did Madonna die?!!

♥ 9:07am Rob (Jerzcity):

My lil pup's namesake, Killdozer!

9:07am Dratsum:

Omg. ciccone youth followed up by Killdozer!!! Hell yeah

♥ 9:10am -Ken:

@Jerzcity - have uyou entered lil' Killdozer in the mascot contest?! I wanna see him/her

♥ 9:11am Rob (Jerzcity):

I did last year, maybe there's still hope?
I'll resubmit in a few

♥ 9:13am steveo:

Good morning, Ken. Damn, I missed Ciccone. Is it wrong that I like it better than Sonic Youth?

♥ 9:13am BnowB:

^link to dogs?

♥ 9:14am pantz:

Huh. I didn't know The Darkness had another incarnation. How fun!

♥ 9:15am -Ken:

Darkness doing Sparks! Thanks to Scott W for this lil gem.

♥ 9:16am The Oscar:

This'd make a good pairing with Sparks' "(Baby Baby) Can I Invade Your Country"

9:17am Wild Neil:

PEACE All. Enjoying the provocative lady gifs.

9:18am PKNY:

The Osmonds stole the riff for this from Parliament's "Red Hot Mamma", but I'll give them a pass, because of the gloriousness of this 45 on 33.

9:20am John in Bklyn:

This doesn't hold a candle to the Ella Fitzgerald original.

9:24am zopa:

Good Morning Ken. Any chance you have some David Soul?

9:26am John in Bklyn:

Don't tell me David Soul died!! God, no.

9:27am Henry:

minutemen!

♥ 9:27am pantz:

9:27am Morgan:

Siouxsie!

9:28am Davee:

9:28am Davee:

UNCLE FLOYD!

♥ 9:28am Patrick:

quintronnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

9:28am Cal Zone!:

ROSKO!

♥ 9:28am Mike Sin:

Of course, I'm always in the mood for that mono single mix of "Hurdy Gurdy Man" by Donovan.

♥ 9:28am The Oscar:

Oh man, PLEASE tell me the B-side of that Nino Tempo is "Baby Weemus." That song is INSANE.

9:28am Morgan:

Love me some D Boon too

9:28am Davee:

CHIPMUNKS!

♥ 9:29am The Oscar:

Also JUDDDDD JUDDDDD.

♥ 9:29am JP from KC:

CHIPMUNKS AT 33! CHIPMUNKS AT 33! CHIPMUNKS AT 33!

♥ 9:29am Barkevious Shabazz:

Second in Inflatable Boy Clams.

9:30am Morgan:

It all sounds like good stuff

♥ 9:31am Ken From Hyde Park:

How's come I didn't hear Rihanna, Bieber or Manson in the list? A simple oversight, I'm sure.

9:31am Balls_Benedict:

I'm my own grandpa is always good for a hoot.

♥ 9:31am ⓘⓚⓔ:

Play the good stuff pls! I second Siouxsie, PLU, and pretty much all of that. Falco!

9:31am Cal Zone!:

Do you have PEACEMAKER by ROSKO?!?!?!?!?

♥ 9:32am JP from KC:

You should also play Donovan at 33. Not that the song needs to sound more sinister than it already does, but I WANT IT!

♥ 9:32am steveo:

that was great (c pets)

♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park:

Appreciative nod to Wm. Berger. RIP

9:33am Morgan:

I think Brian’s show from yesterday raised the bar for 45 only sets

9:34am Morgan:

Poor Falco, too. Another terrible loss by car.

♥ 9:35am steveo:

i believe that children are the future

9:35am Morgan:

Clean burning. Renewable. Children.

9:36am FɾFɾ (:

STIIIIIIIINKYYYYY PUUUUUUUFFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

If i'm not mistaken these are the children of famous musicians. So famous that I can't remember their names nor bands.

9:36am Mark S:

"If Reagan played disco" is on the other side of the Bean Spill ep

♥ 9:36am Webhamster Henry:

Thanks for the return of the Stinky Puffs!

9:36am zopa:

very very very very

♥ 9:36am Fuzzy:

Sounds like an Irwin joint --friends of Amanda?

♥ 9:36am Webhamster Henry:

@FrFr -- Jad Fair!

♥ 9:36am Irwin:

"Stinky Puffs" has always been a pet peeve. Can't stand it.

♥ 9:37am Fuzzy:

Oops -- sorry!

♥ 9:38am steveo:

[Sticky Puffs founder, Simon Fair] Timony also managed the fanclub of Nirvana back in the day. When he sold the fanclub-cards, he asked "Send candy not money!" [wikipedia]

♥ 9:38am Fuzzy:

Proto-Blondie.

9:38am Paul In Bloomfield:

Hey Ken!

9:38am Don Fleming:

I do like chocolate donuts.

♥ 9:39am JP from KC:

I want to hear "I'm My Own Grandpa" played backwards!

9:40am FɾFɾ (:

Neither Amanda nor Stinky Puffs.

Pritt Sticks (from Scotland?) is THE ultimate children's band!

I always wanted to suggest that band to Irwin. There you go!

9:40am Morgan:

I have no patience for little kid bands. Old skull. Pfeh

♥ 9:41am Irwin:

Recommendation accepted, FrFr.

♥ 9:41am Rob (Jerzcity):

@Ken, donated and uploaded my pets - don't know how long before they're view-able however. But keep an eye out for Killdozer in his crown and Gromwell in his fez!

♥ 9:41am steveo:

slow buttholes!

♥ 9:41am steveo:

or is this donovan crap

♥ 9:42am Webhamster Henry:

How to make those 7" tunes last long enough for a bathroom break....

9:42am Undead83:

Wow, sounds like a monday version of the Hurdy Gurdy

♥ 9:45am JP from KC:

I needed this. Thanks, Ken!

♥ 9:45am Mike Sin:

This slowed-down version of the original "Hurdy Gurdy Man" is actually better than any cover version!

9:46am cory:

i will always love that at 33

9:48am BronwynB:

good morning ken and everyone!

9:48am Cal Zone!:

Rosko has evidently been gargling with gravel recently!

9:48am Morgan:

THE Siouxsie song for these times

♥ 9:49am steveo:

this set of music brings great enjoyment

9:50am Davee:

IH2P

9:50am Jeezy:

WHERE ARE YOU, MAMA?!?!??!!?! :-(

♥ 9:51am Barkevious Shabazz:

This Siouxsie song is distinguished by containing the word Nostrils.

9:51am northguineahills:

Stereolab!

♥ 9:52am The Oscar:

Aw, love this song.

♥ 9:52am Irwin:

Correct title is LO Boob Oscillator.

9:52am Cal Zone!:

Love this Stereolab reckid! Stereolab has never lost it's sheen over the years. Evergreen sheen!

9:52am zopa:

Oscilator

9:54am FɾFɾ (:

Irwin,

I've sent you the Pritt Stick MP3 song, considered one of the 'worst rated songs'* from the times when mp3.com was the king of the internet (late 1990's)

* In WFMU terms that would mean 'a great f*cking song'

♥ 9:54am Irwin:

FrFr: Sounds familiar. Did I air it?

9:55am Crutchtar:

How about some Ted Franko?

9:55am FɾFɾ (:

Irwin,

I don't think so. Because once you fall in love with the song you can't stop playing it again and again and again.

♥ 10:00am Planet Tyler:

Hey anyone know a dog sitter in Philly where my dingo can listen to Woof Mu while I'm away?

♥ 10:00am steveo:

Different Drum was written by Mike Nesmith, btw.

♥ 10:01am Irwin:

Nesmith auditioned for the Turtles but was rejected because of his wool cap.

10:02am Lewis:

not to be too bothersome, but what exactly is the definition of a "single" this week? A single with two tracks is bothersome, but if the definition is "a little record with a big hole" then i will calm down...

♥ 10:02am MD:

WF..................................MU!!!

♥ 10:02am Krys O.:

Ah, Stepping High. Thanks to Mitch Friedman for that one.

10:03am BronwynB:

here is, i believe, the first time different drum was played in public: www.youtube.com...

10:03am zopa:

I am grinning thinking that this is the former baseball player Eddie Murray

♥ 10:03am steveo:

sigh, they could have been so Happy Together

♥ 10:04am Krys O.:

@Lewis Sometimes 7" rekkids have little holes.

♥ 10:04am MD:

That was my DAD!!!

♥ 10:05am pantz:

Eddie was a hell of a good baseball player too!

10:05am Lewis:

got any shoddy taylor 45s?

♥ 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park:

Stinky Puffs sounds like a rejected bean-based breakfast product from the Kellogg's corporation.

♥ 10:06am steveo:

cool, browwyn..what a ham. I love this live stone poneys one www.youtube.com...

10:06am BronwynB:

@lewis: freudian slip?

10:07am BronwynB:

@steveo: cool!!

10:07am Cal Zone!:

Got that Curtis Mayfield ready to roll?

10:07am Lewis:

@BronwynB - hmmm, probably! :-))

♥ 10:07am steveo:

(sorry for messing up yer name)

10:08am BronwynB:

its ok steveo, everybody does

♥ 10:08am pantz:

Beat me to it @zopa

10:08am zopa:

@pantz: Let's go O's!

♥ 10:09am MD:

A YOUNG BILLY JOEL!!!

10:09am ?:

Wait..That's not Mexican Food Samba!

♥ 10:09am pantz:

Earl Weaver's crew! @zopa

♥ 10:10am The Oscar:

This is... not what I expected this song title to sound like.

10:10am Morgan:

I'm so lucky I can turn on the radio and hear WFMU still.

♥ 10:10am MD:

"AND THEN WE CALL THE DRUG DELIVERY GUY AT 1:30am..."

♥ 10:10am BnowB:

The Rolling Stones: “Street Fighting Man” 45″

♥ 10:10am steveo:

nice ending

10:11am FɾFɾ (:

* Ahem *

AWw..That wasn't Mexican Food Samba. One of the songs that I hate the most but I rather like.

♥ 10:13am steveo:

the panther's on quaaludes again, too

10:14am Fermatseye:

Quintron!

♥ 10:16am BnowB:

Quaaludes Again- reminded me of a Ween's song - "booze me up and get me high" - Love it!

♥ 10:17am Sem Chumbo:

Can't miss w/ Curtis PLUS bongos.

10:17am cosmic matrix:

Had to put my cat to sleep today. Building her a casket. How appropriate. :(

10:18am Earthling:

Anyone watching Deuce? Theme song is Don't worry (if there's hell below..). It's weird - it sounds like they remixed the original or something

♥ 10:18am -Ken:

RIP Kitty

♥ 10:19am pantz:

Sorry to hear that cosmic

10:19am Arapahoe:

@bnowb Mykki blanco said I have nice eyes

♥ 10:19am Ike:

@cosmic matrix, my cat Zero-G, the Amazing Zero-Gravity Cat, died recently too (pictured here in my avatar). She was 17.

10:20am cosmic matrix:

Aww, thanks guys....... yup she was about 15, could hardly walk lately but brought me back a bunny head just two days ago.

10:21am cosmic matrix:

Sorry to heart about your loss too Ike. Waaah

10:21am BronwynB:

i used to play this on my college show. but not like this. never like this

♥ 10:21am Krys O.:

@cosmic matrix: Sorry to hear that.

♥ 10:21am BnowB:

@araphoe Fo real?

10:22am cosmic matrix:

Usually when I post there's a picture of her but I'm upstairs on a laptop so that's why I'm not signed in.

10:22am Okasa:

Good morning Kenny Kenny Ken Ken. Hey everyone else.

10:22am BronwynB:

i'm so sorry, cosmic matrix :(

10:22am Arapahoe:

For really reals

10:22am cosmic matrix:

Thanks all for your condolences. One of the bright sides is now I can listen to more FMU programming without worrying I'm freaking her out.

10:22am Okasa:

Can't do that today, fellas.

10:23am cosmic matrix:

Love y'all. God FMU is such a blessing.

♥ 10:23am ⓘⓚⓔ:

@CM@10:21 yours too! :( Wow a bunny head? 15 is really good for an indoor-outdoor cat. Zero-G was all-indoor.

10:23am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Condolences, Ike. A good span for a cat, but hard at any age for its servants (speaking as such myself).

♥ 10:23am Planet Tyler:

The Quaalude show I presume

10:24am Earthling:

Some more cave in the caveman today

♥ 10:25am BnowB:

@Arapahoe - That's pretty sweet. One of my favorite rapper/activist. Love Jimmy Castor Bunch - "cause i might come off" .... "he said move".. "she got up" ... "bertha butt sista .. " yup yup :)

10:25am BronwynB:

i guess the o'jays weren't invited to the quaalude party

♥ 10:27am The Oscar:

Singles Sipping Syrup.

♥ 10:27am -Ken:

There were a few too many O'Jays for the Qualuude supply.

10:27am Morgan:

@cosmic matrix A bunny head? Damn, a hunter to the end. Cats have a sense of duty to the collective that is so touching. Sorry for your loss.

♥ 10:27am ⓘⓚⓔ:

@CM, it freaked her out? Zero-G never paid the slightest attention to WFMU, not even Daniel Blumin's slowed-down dumpsters crashing into each other for 15 minutes (TM Reddit).

♥ 10:28am Planet Tyler:

I thought it was the Love Train that wasnt invited, dirty hippies

10:28am (Murakami Whywolf))):

You too, cosmic matrix. A bunny head? Good cat!

This year our own personal Kali got the title 'Mataconejos', she must have found a warren exit and gone there each day….

♥ 10:28am steveo:

any time!

♥ 10:28am The Oscar:

I like the image of Clarence using a compass to carefully orient his stroking.

10:28am FɾFɾ (:

The O'Jays' Love Train song shows up so much during the marathons, that nowadays when I listen to it I reach my wallet and open my paypal account.

♥ 10:29am Sem Chumbo:

To be or to be strokin'. That is the question.

10:29am PKNY:

Glad to see my Clarence Carter "Strokin'" GIF is still out there! media.giphy.com...

10:29am zopa:

So many questions!

10:30am Jeezy:

I MADE LOVE LAST NIGHT!

10:30am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Lie: Mo Tucker is playing for Ray Stevens these days.

♥ 10:30am pantz:

I'm strokin' right now!!!

♥ 10:30am steveo:

i'm making love right now! (metaphorically)

10:31am FɾFɾ (:

I doubt the Clarence Carter Strokin' is a 7 inch if you know what I mean.

10:31am Mark S:

Sassified!

10:31am PKNY:

@Jeezy - but were you watching late night television while strokin'?

10:31am cosmic matrix:

Cats are amazing. Bunnies are amazing. Y'all are amazing. Sorry I just got high.

♥ 10:31am pantz:

Was the b-side to this The Stranger?

10:31am PKNY:

@FrFr - big 10 inch record, for sure!

♥ 10:32am Planet Tyler:

Hey! She just said Dont stroke it too fast! Clarence needs some 'ludes!

10:32am cosmic matrix:

AND THIS F*CKING SHOW IS AMAZIN'!!!!! Love ewe, Ken.

♥ 10:33am joe mulligan:

you never catch a wave surfing unless you give two extra strokes

10:35am zopa:

I would donate the $50 to wfmu, just to make Andy disappointed.

10:36am jess:

doing the nasty

♥ 10:36am dgg:

DDena Hashem is pretty funny. She does those roast battles and she kills it.

♥ 10:37am steveo:

you know who else sucks at hems? CLARENCECARTERCLARENCECARTERCLARENCECARTERCLARENCECARTER

10:37am Listener Robert:

I just hope my friend Steve isn't strokin'! When I spoke to him on the phone from the ER last night, at least his sense of humor was intact, although he couldn't remember what year it was. In a clouded mental status, the patient often is unaware of the seriousness of his condition, which is kind of a saving grace if you look at it from his perspective. Just like it is immediately after shock treatment, where the patient doesn't remember anything going back years, but is just fine with that.

♥ 10:37am Passaic River Blues:

That was the best summary of the Jersey governor's race I've yet to encounter.

♥ 10:37am MD:

MR fake tEETH....01%...investment banker...who cares about us "little" people...YEAH RIGHT!!!!

♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park:

I was thinking of taking Metro North and the subway to get to the meet-up. I can drive to the JC area and we could carpool, Ken. Would that work for you? What time do you need to be there?

♥ 10:39am steveo:

best wishes to Steve, Robert.

10:40am GeorgeSimian:

That was a killer set!

10:40am FɾFɾ (:

I have another great idea for Seven Second Delay for tonight!

It's 'The Date Rape Jokes Ambush!' Basically we let Andy wax lyrically about date rape and child molestation jokes...Then, all of a sudden, Rose McGowan calls-in and scolds Andy and before you know it the Twittersphere goes crazy and 7SD becomes insanely famous!

♥ 10:41am Sem Chumbo:

Thank dog for Vickie.

10:42am Morgan:

@SemChumbo This is pretty awesome

♥ 10:43am Sem Chumbo:

No debate here, Morgan.

♥ 10:44am JP from KC:

I can never hear this song without immediately thinking of Tony Clifton.

10:44am wfmu listener phillip:

im sensing the next song is going to be the "quando quando quando" song

♥ 10:44am MD:

SAMMY!!!!

♥ 10:46am MD:

45'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 10:46am steveo:

woah aztec camera, curveball

10:46am wfmu listener phillip:

i remember saying that to my mother "i gotta be me" and being thrown out of the house like a stray cat for 2 whole days.

♥ 10:46am MD:

rise wm rise!!!

10:48am FɾFɾ (:

Whoa. I didn't know the Aztecs had cameras. I wonder how many pixels they had.

10:48am zopa:

All thge pixels!

10:49am Henry:

alles klar

10:49am wfmu listner phillip:

pixels? or Pixies?

10:49am Roberto:

JA DER KOMMISSAR IST GUT

10:50am FɾFɾ (:

Costa Rica, why you took away the life of the great Falco!!!!?!!?!

♥ 10:51am The Oscar:

I remember this song used to be in one of those Time Life "Best of the '80s" ads, and I always expect it to go "Der Kommissar's in town, oh OHHHHHHH Tainted love!!"

10:51am Morgan:

Fun fact: the German phrase for “rapping to the beat” is 28 syllables.

♥ 10:51am -Ken:

f0f0, Falco had to die so that Heino could live. Everything happens for a reason.

♥ 10:51am BnowB:

Inspired by Ken's varying records speeds; I sometimes play "Upside Down" by Diana/Don Ross. (Slow) It flips a script and... brings me the joy of at least 3 gestures.

♥ 10:52am steveo:

dude on the cello is rockin it

♥ 10:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

If only the Aztecs had foreseen the big orange goon that's running this country and warned us, we wouldn't be in this fine mess we're in now.

♥ 10:53am Guido from Cologne:

HEY!
Mary Roos!

10:53am FɾFɾ (:

Did I say Costa Rica? HA! I meant to say Dominquian Republik.

♥ 10:54am steveo:

@Henry Beat me to it-- I was legitimately expecting a Giant Man cover!

♥ 10:56am Guido from Cologne:

Giorgio Moroder producing.
First major hit for Mary.
(pronounce "Mary Rose", her real first name is Rosemarie)

10:56am Evan From Seattle:

sorry to hear about your cat cosmic, my indoor outdoor cat was about 15 when he died too.

♥ 10:58am Hughie Considine:

The juxtaposition of Politics! and Girls strikes me as a potential political statement.

10:58am FɾFɾ (:

Oi! Hold on...Which song was that after Arizona Man and this one now (Politics!)?

10:59am FɾFɾ (:

* and before this one now

♥ 10:59am MD:

FOR HARVEY AND BOB W...!!!

♥ 10:59am Hughie Considine:

Wait a minute, I thought Bob was clean.

♥ 11:00am Guido from Cologne:

Dagmar!

11:01am Mark S:

"Born in Flames"?

11:02am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Ken from Hyde Park:
Maybe they foresaw him, and approved of someone cutting the heart out of an entire country and offering it up to Eldritch Gods.

♥ 11:02am steveo:

Bob W's on quaaludes again.

♥ 11:02am Guido from Cologne:

fantastic album ("Winter Songs")

♥ 11:02am steveo:

Says they're the highest power.

♥ 11:03am steveo:

rats and monkeys forever!

11:04am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Hearing Sammy Davis Jr makes me wish there were seven-inch records if either his version of "The Rhythm of Life" or of Joe Newman's "Yodellin' Satan".

♥ 11:04am bnowb:

7" ... damn 10"

♥ 11:05am The Oscar:

Did he ever put "Plop Plop Fizz Fizz" on a single?

11:05am Wild Neil:

Peace all. I heard a cool country western version of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. Could you play that, Ken?

11:06am FɾFɾ (:

Guido,

Am I going crazy or did I hear a fantastic song between Arizona Man and the one from Girls At Our Best?

11:06am Wild Neil:

The nuns are kinda hot. I feel guilty saying that, though.

11:07am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Hearing "I've Gotta…." reminds me of the "You do your thing, and I do mine…. “ poster featuring Hitler.

11:08am Rich in NC:

Hey everyone

11:08am Wild Neil:

OH NO Ken is melting down!

♥ 11:16am Krys O.:

Snoteleks

11:16am ranjit:

llor dna elttar ekahs

♥ 11:16am The Oscar:

@Mark I'm pretty sure the (awesome) cover by Cristina even swaps "booze" with "ludes!"

11:17am FɾFɾ (:

Inflatttttttteabbbbbbble Boyyyyyy Clllllllllllllllllllams!!! Thanks, Ken!

♥ 11:18am Dominick:

lordy me

11:19am Brendan:

Hi Ken. Hi kids!

♥ 11:19am bnowb:

WB... I ride my BMX in town for you today! Cheers Folks.

11:19am Mister Dobalina:

Anyone who is local, thinking of going to the Brooklyn event tomorrow ?

11:20am BronwynB:

@mister dobalina: me (probably)

11:22am FɾFɾ (:

I wonder how Jimmy sings sober.

♥ 11:22am steveo:

"At 33 rpm, the single is too slow, but the slowness seems to fit Jimmy's lugubrious, demented delivery, so that's the speed that the FMU staff settled on back when this record was in heavy rotation. Jimmy's real name appears to be James Dean, the record label is Fatima Records, and he seems to be from Los Angeles. The sleeve of the single says "Demand The Album!" in tiny type, but these are the only two songs from Jimmy we've ever come across." blog.wfmu.org...

11:23am FɾFɾ (:

CIBBBBBBBBBO & MATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTO!

I love Cibo <3 although I have to admit I prefer Matto's singing abilities.

11:24am rbx:

@mister dobalina - good chance I'll be going. Will try not to embarrass myself like I did at my last wfmu event :X

11:25am Fred So Cool:

Ken did the Space Lady also doo Black Hole Sun? Can you make her do it ?

♥ 11:26am Planet Tyler:

So many 'ludes today. Trump warned us though that we knew what we were signing up for

♥ 11:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Mister Dobalina - I'm planning to go, too. (See 10:38 comment.)

11:27am Jeezy:

I think I'm gonna make the meet-up, depending on how much I drink tonight...

♥ 11:28am pantz:

Trump also declared that we should all say Merry Christmas and I have had it with WFMU's heathen ways.

11:29am Wild Neil:

Merry Christmas! There. I said it. Now what?

11:29am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Is there a way to enter an animal into the Mascot Contest without joining Flickr?

11:29am FɾFɾ (:

It still creeps me out to find out the person Rosko addresses is none other than Baby Je...

AAAAAH...VISIONS OF DOOOOM!!! Pressing eject button! Pressing Eject Button! Damn! It's not working! It should catapult me into the next room!

Pressing eject button!

11:29am Wild Neil:

Just kidding! It's not even Holloween yet!

♥ 11:29am Rob (Jerzcity):

@Wild Neil: are you an engineer?

11:30am berbo:

@wNeil
All holidays matter.

11:31am Carmichael:

My Mariah muting network automatically engaged. But I don't know how long I can keep the ship together, Captain!

11:31am Morgan:

Emergency Broadcast Network put Mariah Carey’s voice to its best use

11:31am Wild Neil:

I am a mechanical engineer by training,
a test engineer by trade.

♥ 11:31am Rob (Jerzcity):

Engineers often confuse Halloween and Xmas because
Oct 31 = Dec 25

NERD ALERT!

11:32am Wild Neil:

@Rob-huh? Please explain.

11:32am Carmichael:

Where does Thanksgiving fall in that equation??

11:32am Lewis:

@rob - ughhhh

♥ 11:33am Rob (Jerzcity):

31 in the octal number system = 25 in the decimal number system

This is very timely as I just heard that "joke" yesterday and then did the math conversion. Tis true.

♥ 11:34am Sem Chumbo:

I'm not sure she knows what *boogie, boogie* means.

11:34am FɾFɾ (:

Is the Vision of Doom song over already?

Yes?

Good. Now I can get out of my sonic bunker.

11:34am Mister Dobalina:

@bronwyn: Cool, I feel a bit more motivated knowing others will be there. @Ken From... sounds good, safe travels.

11:35am Listener Robert:

They're now using the word "stroke" in connection with Steve's case, unofficially. A thrombo-embolic event would be consistent with his recent valve replacement. He could still come out of this pretty well.

♥ 11:35am dgg:

love henny

11:35am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Thank You Lord Trump for President Jesus.

11:35am Mister Dobalina:

@rbx : I'm very curious as to what happened, care to elaborate ? I'm king of sticking my foot in my mouth, fyi.

♥ 11:36am dgg:

lol this is so odd with no laughter

11:36am Agent Peter:

But seriously Ken, I laughed when you came on the air :-)

♥ 11:36am Krys O.:

Merry Fucking Christmas. Gawd rest ye merry asshats.

♥ 11:38am steveo:

@jerz nice 1 (oct 1 = dec 1)

11:38am Mark S:

I came home to find my wife in the car in the kitchen, I said how did you get here, she said I made a right at the living room

♥ 11:38am steveo:

ken you sure have some weird records!

♥ 11:40am doctorjazz:

I could do OK on Guitar Hero on this Mississippi Queen!

♥ 11:40am The Oscar:

I reiterate: JUDDDDDDD JUDDDDD!!!

♥ 11:40am Devin B.:

Jud Jud!

11:41am rbx:

@mister dobalina without getting too into it, I was kind of in the middle of a personal breakdown and also drank too much and just generally overstayed my welcome. Maybe going to another event will give me a chance to apologize at least. haha.

♥ 11:43am steveo:

extra low rider

♥ 11:43am The Oscar:

I thought for sure that was Porest.

11:43am Mister Dobalina:

Ken is really closing out the last hour of this show with a bizarre-O bang!

♥ 11:44am Rob (Jerzcity):

___________rider

LOOOOOWWW

11:46am Mister Dobalina:

@rbx: Oh dayum, that sounds like some real to realness there. Well don't fret too much about that one time, I believe most everyone at FMU and its listeners are fairly non-judgmental.

11:46am Listening Out There:

Your DJ, Ken Options...

11:47am Carmichael:

I remember Father Harry from KFRC in San Francisco. I used to work across the hall in the Transamerica pyramid at K101.

11:47am berbo:

You could play 20 of them if you play them at 90 RPM

♥ 11:48am steveo:

WHAT ABOUT INFINITY MINUS ONE RPM????

11:48am Lewis:

right up there with "Dolly Parton's Guitar"!!

11:48am FɾFɾ (:

I saw Jimmy Hoffa walking by, going into the after-life on my way to this life. He disappeared/died on my birthday.

11:49am Agent Peter:

epic!

11:49am Listening Out There:

"Jimmy Hoffa"...Fantastique...

11:49am Mark S:

this song always makes me cry

11:50am Andy the painter:

thank you ken.
i just got a $190 ticket while riding my bike in brooklyn.
but the jimmy hoffa single turned my frown upside down.
this is what wfmu is for.

♥ 11:50am The Oscar:

I bought a copy of "Dear John" in high school thinking it was the OTHER Jean Shepherd. I was very confused.

11:50am rbx:

@mister dobalina yes indeed. c'est le vie.
El Cortez is one of my local spots though, I'd be remiss not to at least pop by.

♥ 11:52am MD:

GOOD LUCK WIT DAT JOHN..!!!

11:52am Okasa:

Glad I listened to the end. What a great set!

11:52am Agent Peter:

love oogie on the falsetto

♥ 11:52am Sem Chumbo:

Thanks, Ken, been a one-of-a-kind morning. See ya next time.

♥ 11:53am blee:

digging zee shoooow

11:54am FɾFɾ (:

Just a minute, young Sem Chumbo. The show's not over yet.

No one leaves the building until the DJ has played the last song please.

♥ 11:54am MD:

The United States of 3 eyed mutant FREAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 11:55am blee:

Can I'm my own Grandpa play for another 3 hours, Duane?

♥ 11:56am Tommy in Neversink:

My mom and dad are related and my grand pa's brother married my gand ma's sister...believe those southern stereotypes

11:56am FɾFɾ (:

My own grandpa? I guess that happens when you stick it up your own *ss as CLearance Carter would say.

♥ 11:56am blee:

assuming Duane's looking at playlist and wondering what to do for his set.

♥ 11:56am ironybread:

artpulsemagazine.com...

11:56am Brendan:

Doin the math on a mafia deathbed confession . Hoffa disappeared 42 yrs ago. If whoever wacked him was 25-50 at the time, they would be around 70-90, and ready for a book deal to secure the grandkids future .

♥ 11:57am steveo:

well, that was fun, Ken; thanks for spinning!

♥ 11:58am blee:

Hoffa accidentally locked himself in the basement freezer at Bally's trying to steal some meat cutlets. Everyone knows that.

11:58am FɾFɾ (:

Absolutely funkanbombastic great show (minus the Mariah Carey's song), Ken!! Thanks, everyone! Till next episode! ANd remember: Be happy!!!

11:59am FɾFɾ (:

Just double checking: Are you happy? Not yet?!

♥ 12:00pm -Ken:

Bye everybody! Hope to see some of you tonight on Seven Sec Delay for "What Will You Do For Fifty Dollars?"

12:01pm bobo:

Playlist is still on...Does that mean can I still request a song?

12:01pm rbx:

Thanks Ken! Great show.

♥ 12:03pm blee:
