Listener comments!

🚽

6:41am -Ken:

Morning all!

6:51am maestroso:

Morning Ken! Bright and early.

🚽

6:59am Ken From Hyde Park:

Ah, John Steed and Mrs. Emma Peel...lovely.

🚽

7:16am -Ken:

Just a warning.. today's show is going to be.. difficult... from 10-11am. That is all I am allowed to say.

🚽

7:26am Ken From Hyde Park:

As Kelly Bundy would say: "To be forewarned, is to have four arms."

By the way, I like the picture of the WFMU flag on the home page.

7:43am Michael:

Morning Ken.

8:01am Losermom:

I love difficult. Bring it on.

8:14am Aaron in Minneapolis:

Hey Ken, missed ya! Whats on tap with you and Andy tonight?

🚽

8:23am -Ken:

Aaron, I dont know yet but Andy and I are once again in dfferent cities but we are determined to have a new show tonight. One way or another.

8:25am Aaron in Minneapolis:

How the heck did the show get renewed for the fall schedule?

8:36am sphere:

hello people.

8:36am FɔFɔ (:

Good morning, Ken, people!

🚽

8:37am Ken From Hyde Park:

I am imagining the artist with the wall full of folding paper constantly yells out "Parkour" as he flips the drawings in sequence.

8:41am sphere:

that statue GIF is awesome!

8:50am cory:

whoa, woke up late. i do have a request though. Ken, could you make today's show. difficult... from 10-11am.

8:55am FɔFɔ (:

Don't worry, cory. I think we are going to hear Barenaked Ladies from 10am to 11am. I can't think of something more difficult than that .

8:57am groucho:

I survived 3 hours of the song I hate the most, Bohemian Rhapsody, so I think one hour of 'difficult...' will be fine

9:00am cory:

@FauxFaux, i hope so

9:01am Dave in Vermont:

there is a riff in here that sounds like the opening to Monk

9:02am Sem Chumbo:

Here we go again.

9:03am jan:

Ken, Did you see the Vito Acconci show at PS1 or any of his fabled performances at the galleries, back in the day?

9:03am Roberto:

Vito visited my MFA program around 1990. What a wacky dude!

9:03am sphere:

i think an hour of the Menomena Song would be the worst.

9:06am ((Murakami Whywolf):

@Aaron: Ken had to give the Station Manager a hand-job.

(@Everyone: Forgive me.)

9:06am cory:

Ken, i would like to really request something from The Tet Offensive

9:07am pantz:

Anything about String Theory this morning?

9:07am Michael:

He is a character. My wife worked with him on a project at the Children's Museum here that never happened unfortunately but had wonderful stories of meetings and phone calls.

9:08am ((Murakami Whywolf):

@Dave: Randy Newman's hacky opening to "Monk", xor the good one?

9:08am Dave in Vermont:

Newman's

9:09am cory:

hello, i'd like to talk to you about our Lord and Saviour, Randy Newman

9:10am ((Murakami Whywolf):

@groucho: give it credit: "Bohemian Rhapsody" was The Song That Made Punk Necessary.

9:10am Dave in Vermont:

he played in Burlington this summer and people were so excited

🚽

9:12am Webhamster Henry:

I'm glad Wonderland is getting some air ! I'm typing on a MacBook I bought from him.

9:12am pierre:

Bonjour Ken

9:13am ((Murakami Whywolf):

@cory: Everything after "He's a Football Hero" is false prophecy, and… BLASPHEMY! (Well, "Rednecks" is the Song of the Year, but that's hardly new.)

🚽

9:13am Webhamster Henry:

"Difficult Music" ™ Laurie Anderson

9:14am JakeGould:

Went to MoMA PS1 Vito Acconci exhibit. Pretty cool stuff, but my fave thing was the dark room filled with beanbag chairs. Excellent place to take a nap!

9:16am cory:

@Murakami, plz respect my religion. k?

9:16am Joshua Fried:

Right next to Noah Creshevsky! Wow--I'm speechless. Should I act cool? I can't. Thank you Ken thank you FMU.

9:18am Joshua Fried:

( RADIO WONDERLAND = me) My avatar here is part of the instrument, the shoes.
WHAT DO I DO NOW?

9:18am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@Webhamster\ Henry:
I _love_ the time-line where Laurie Anderson played the secretary on "WKRP Cincinatti"… `Mister… CARLson……will SEE you now…OOla….' and then she'd put the lightbulb in her mouth.

9:20am pantz:

@Murakami Nuh uh. I don't remember that episode and that was before I started doing drugs.

9:20am Sem Chumbo:

@ (Murakami Whywolf))::hahahaha!

9:21am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@cory: I'm attempting to respect your religion by being hyper-orthodox at it. 'Extremism in defence of extremism is no vice.'

9:22am Joshua Fried:

If L.A. was brought on the show to rehash her most popular bits, I'm not sure whether I'm for it or not.

9:22am thedunkel:

Morning Ken! Morning All!

9:22am Stashu:

Aubrey Plaza! <3 She looks so cool with these weird sounds.

9:23am cory:

oh crapsticks, it's Saint (Murakami...). Forgive me holy-i-love-la Father, for i hafve short peopled.

9:25am Joshua Fried:

New Ann Magnuson! I remember back in the day

9:26am cory:

wow, a jim morrison poetry parody? nice!

🚽

9:26am -Ken:

Ann did a benefit for WFMU at CBGBs back in 1990. I love her.

9:27am cory:

this is awesome +1

🚽

9:27am Webhamster Henry:

Give her a timeslot!

9:28am Sem Chumbo:

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.
There the wrinkled old Nokomis
Nursed the little Ayahuasca.

🚽

9:29am -Ken:

Thank you Sem. Normally I dont allow cutting and pasting into this space but I shall make a DMT exception for you.

9:29am FɔFɔ (:

Give her more ayahuasca!

9:31am Joshua Fried:

Would like to know about the accompaniment to the Magnuson track.

9:32am cory:

can you just play the rest of the album?

🚽

9:32am -Ken:

I havent added anything to this Ann track.

9:33am Joshua Fried:

Oh, I meant Ann's own accompaniment. Should have said accompaniment "in" this track?

9:39am egould310:

Doors Fan. Hahahahaha!! Thanks for this, Ken. The best!!!

9:40am sphere:

as a bassist, i scoff at the Doors. bah!

9:40am ! I X Key !:

9:40am Sem Chumbo:

...even if you own one...
Genius.

9:40am steveo:

Is it 10 yet? This easy listening is getting to me.

9:41am Losermom:

I HATE the doors.

9:41am cory:

kids in the hall forever!!!

9:41am Sem Chumbo:

See them with the Windows, it makes all the difference.

🚽

9:42am Webhamster Henry:

Imagine if Morrison had lived another 10 years. Would he have gone Disco?

9:42am Cheri Pi:

Th'DOZER!

9:42am Losermom:

YES. I used to sing this one in Girl Scouts.

9:43am Joshua Fried:

Billy Jack!

9:44am FɔFɔ (:

Killdozer has another song!

9:44am JakeGould:

Billy Jack is a hilarious movie.

9:45am cory:

@Webhamster Henry, in my fantasy he goes Joni Mitchell/Carol King

9:45am MD:

Hello World!!!

9:45am thedunkel:

ROAD DOZER with Patrick S.

9:45am fred:

Killdozer is one of my fave bands that I would have never heard without the station

9:45am cory:

what fred said

9:47am egould310:

Oh brother. Hang in there everyone.

9:48am still b/p:

Billy Jack and cooler/god Dalton should be in a Marvel Universe sort of bash-up....as partners or foes..don't matter.

9:51am Joshua Fried:

(Could not find Ann Magnuson accompaniment info. It's OK.)

9:52am Stashu:

OMG Patrick Swayze looks so good on this Playlist!

9:52am fred:

MES!!!

9:54am Jack:

The Brain From Planet Aros.
Have I got that right? (without checking)

9:55am Dave:

My brain hurts!

9:55am SSS:

Becoming fifty felt just like that brain bashing there, as I recall.

9:57am cory:

i've got my head stuck in a bucket

9:59am pierre:

I wan't going to do anything to you Mark E., fifty year old OR younger. Just relax

🚽

9:59am Webhamster Henry:

Stay tuned for the Difficult part of the show.

9:59am PortableAnarchy:

Jack- you do know jack!

10:01am (Murakami Whywolf)):

I was referring not to a guest appearance by Laurie Anderson, but the alternate time-line where she played the secretary in every episode. I don't remember if Loni Anderson ever played the B.A.M. there; I _do_ know that I discovered this world the first time I heard Hugo Weaving do his Laurie Anderson impression in "The Matrix", saying 'MISter……AN-DERson'.

10:02am MD:

RISE ABOVE WITH THE FALL!!!

10:03am fred:

Hey Pierre! Le cercle des mallissimalistes will be playing on Friday, will you be there?

10:03am (Murakami Whywolf)):

Doesn't the Good Brain from Planet Arous possess a dog at one point?

10:04am PatrickP:

Play 50 yr old man agin yeah

10:06am PatrickP:

Get into Schoenberg instead, high art

10:07am ((Murakami Whywolf):

Play some Poisoned Skiffle.

10:07am steveo:

NoooOOOOooOOoooooOOOOOOoooo!!!!!!!

10:07am Roberto:

Yes! The Joelster!

10:07am mary:

no, help !

10:08am Brian C.:

I think Andy has brainwashed Ken

10:08am PortableAnarchy:

This is a dolt music

🚽

10:08am Webhamster Henry:

Billy Joel is so bad, the Loser's Lounge doesn't even cover him.

10:08am Erella:

Oh please, make it stop.

10:08am Irene Trudel:

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

10:08am Dave in Vermont:

Maudlin, much?

10:09am Irwin:

Brian: My exact thought. Andy has finally made a dent.

10:09am jan:

Can you play some Harry Chapin, next?

10:09am cory:

if this is the new WFMU... i want to triple my pledge #Trump2016AndBeyond

10:09am Jeffy Jazz:

Captain Jack... eeewww!

10:09am mary:

oh, it's just satire, ok...i'll keep listening for a while

10:09am Irene Trudel:

I don't wanna be an adult, if this is what it takes.

10:09am rsj:

no offense, I listen to my share of FMU, but the Irie Storm Radio is a must-do preset in my hood (after all it is the "best station worldwide"), what's funny is that it turns to billie joel radio as soon as I enter park slope! but it is not as funny as the adds on iris storm radio

10:10am PortableAnarchy:

Close the fire escape door- sounds like some nerve gas is leaking from the Post Office loading dock

10:10am Brian C.:

Music please

10:10am mary:

I will always love you Ken

10:10am Responsible Adult:

get the troublemakers outta here ken! nogoodnicks and creeps, hit the bricks, ken's brining an Adult sensibility back to WFMU

10:10am Henry:

adults for trump!

10:10am rsj:

Moats are far superior to walls, with alligators or rats

🚽

10:10am Webhamster Henry:

Ken has eaten the poisoned Skittle.

10:10am V Priceless:

VOIVOD!!!!

10:11am Lizardner Dave:

Ken lost a bet to Andy.

10:11am thedunkel:

Breckman for Trump!

10:12am Stashu:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zing

10:12am Brian C.:

I had heard masturbation caused blindness, but who knew it could cause… This!

10:12am rsj:

remote control ken?

10:12am FɔFɔ (:

If there's a WFMU staff member reading this please take all Khlam CDs and put them inside a locked room. I'm seriously worried about their faith under the new Ken management.

10:12am ((Murakami Whywolf):

Hey Ken, if you still want to be 'edgy', you can just play "Glass Houses" in its entirety. I once did so while hosing-out a dung-soaked bum's nest with the aid of half a yuge container of Dr Bronners…ideal listening conditions.

Adults don't give trouble-makers a _verbal_ spanking, they get them roughed-up with luxurious iron pipes.

10:12am Erella:

Brian C. that is funny.

10:13am Dave in Vermont:

Ken, shower the people you love with love. life is short.

10:13am Losermom:

OK, where is the playlist update for this stuff so we have proof you actually did this, Ken?

10:13am seb:

please make it stop

10:13am PMD:

Ken you made me pull over to see what the hell is going on.

10:13am Henry:

this is some price to pay for a bet

10:13am rsj:

someone hack into andy's control feed

10:13am Jeffy Jazz:

James Taylor... eeeewwww!!!!!

10:14am Brian C.:

If Ken plays the Eagles, that's it. I'm outta here

10:14am Joshua Fried:

Manhattan Transfer

10:15am sinister dexter:

bring back Professor DumDum

10:15am Faye:

hi ken this is awful

10:15am Jeffy Jazz:

I wish he was on Pluto gasping his last breath.

10:15am Dave in Vermont:

Careful folks, the new format will include vetting to be allowed on the comments board.

10:15am still b/p:

Cruisin' just about a half a cocktail flag away from Yacht Rock.

10:15am pierre:

I don't understand

10:15am rsj:

i fear what will happen once andy's mind control stops

10:15am Jeffy Jazz:

How about Michael Franks? He's awesomely jazzy.

10:16am Blix:

Can you now give weather and traffic on the "tens"?

10:16am Secret Person:

LOL NEWBORN ADULT.

10:16am Faust:

Any chance I can hear a nice piano version of "Send in the Clowns"?

10:16am Roberto:

Loving the new format.

10:17am Losermom:

Can someone please call him FFS!!!

10:17am rsj:

no one plays the eagles like zombie ken

🚽

10:17am AnAnonymousParty:

How 'bout some Kenny G? Not that Kenny G, the other Kenny G.

10:17am Lou:

Please stop.

10:18am Dave in Vermont:

Do you do Triple Plays on Wednesdays?

10:18am Jeffy Jazz:

Oooooooh! The G-man! Yes! Yes!

10:18am PatrickP:

Ken's mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore

10:18am Brian C.:

Can we meet in the middle with some Hall & Oates or something?

10:18am pantz:

How about some Boz Scaggs?

10:18am FɔFɔ (:

This new Ken is horrible!!!

*coughs*play*coughs*some*coughs*Yes

10:18am Ike:

Andy Breckman is scripting this, I imagine. Did Ken lose a bet with him?

10:18am Planet Tyler:

That's actually Ken in that gif attacking our collective brain with an ax

10:18am still b/p:

Already Gone almost did it...can you find something with a beat that matches the brain axing?

10:18am Roberto:

Either Kenny G works for me.

10:18am JakeGould:

I'm an adult. I hate this. But I would accept it more if you would play George Benson's "Breezin'."

10:18am Losermom:

Yes, finally a song to sink my teeth into!!

10:18am Faust:

Thank you.

10:19am ?:

Very Nice Indeed. Please play "American Pie" now - I'm taking the dog out, back in 20.

10:19am rsj:

how about walking jewish? or is irwin the only one allowed to play that?

10:19am PMD:

Is it illegal to receive a hand job when you're driving?

10:19am ledzeppelinsucks:

70s swill

10:19am FɔFɔ (:

I think Ken finally stop taking drugs after all these years.

10:19am Dave in Vermont:

the clowns come at the end of the hippie parade

🚽

10:19am AnAnonymousParty:

What about people suspected of being Mexican?

10:20am Whosondephone:

it's about time! I'm Getting sick of WFMU! Seriously!

10:20am George Kaplin:

Love the new format. Finally something I can sing along to. More Doobie Brothers please.

10:20am ldime:

Sounds like a temporary personality crisis. This too shall pass. In the meantime, you're killin' me.

10:20am Faust:

Listening to this station would be a great way to learn "English".

10:21am JakeGould:

No I want ice cream.

10:21am Nick at work:

Ken--are these new revelations you are having related to your recent time in Oakland?

10:21am Ike:

Ken, you should have read this part of the script over in advance so you wouldn't crack up in the middle of reading it.

10:21am ((Murakami Whywolf):

"Reminiscing" by the Little River Band. I had a romantically disastrous summer when the only radio station we could get played nothing but that, "Copacabana", and "Shattered"….

10:21am Losermom:

Rectal itches and Send In The Clowns go perfect together. Awesome.

10:21am Planet Tyler:

Ok, I'm watching the comment board w/o the sound on. Tell me the coast is clear guys

10:21am jan:

We were warned; but is this segment over at 11:00?

10:21am Torbjørn:

Finally ! I feel like so much weight has been lifted from my shoulders. At last I can stop faking enjoyment of this horrible hippie noise, now we can get into some real music. Thanks Ken, I'm looking forward to the adult WFMU future.

10:21am Faye:

gotta go listen to Brian Lehrer now

10:21am JtotheK:

Got any jazz? I'm hoping for something 'edgy', maybe Chuck Mangione, that tune he wrote used in the olympics...Give It All You Got! Thanks!

10:21am Brian C.:

Today is the day the clown cried

10:22am Losermom:

Can you scratch your ass again, please?

10:22am tadpoles:

Is that giff our collective brain being whacked?

10:23am FɔFɔ (:

Either Ken had an epiphany while masturbating or this is Andy speaking with Ken's voice.

10:23am Sem Chumbo:

Music to soothe the the savage itch.

10:23am Dave in Vermont:

Tyler - you will be able to tell when he starts posting to the playlist again.

10:23am cory:

Mangione? you leftist asshat

10:23am George Kaplin:

You know Art Garfunkel and I had a terrible ant problem down at the vineyard....

10:24am ledzeppelinsucks:

a 70s diarrhea missile has struck WFMU

🚽

10:24am Ken From Hyde Park:

"Painful Rectal Itch" With a name like that, you know it has to be good.

10:24am Planet Tyler:

@Dave - I think real Ken is fighting the body-snatched Ken by not posting. Thats a good sign

10:25am Losermom:

My kids are going to love this segment. I'll play it for them after they get home from school. Or could that be considered child abuse?

10:25am ledzeppelinsucks:

I don't need to go to hell, I'm in South Tacoma

🚽

10:26am Webhamster Henry:

Ken is just trying to be like Jo Firestone's new "Dedications" show.

10:26am Bill W:

It's HELLO DOLLY!, Ken.

10:26am Ike:

I KNEW IT!!!

10:26am PMD:

Memories from cats the musical please

10:26am Losermom:

Judy Garland does this better.

10:27am FɔFɔ (:

On Tonite's SSD show: 'Andy Breakman as Puppetmaster'.

10:27am Bill W:

She already did GYPSY, how could you possibly be confused?

10:27am fred:

Like his BFF Chris Christie, Ken is trying to secure his future in the coming Trump administration. This might save the station, folks. And the station has an exorcist on call (Kenny G once required such services)

10:28am tonyb:

are you chewing gum?

10:28am rsj:

stuck inside Andy's hotel california

🚽

10:28am Ken From Hyde Park:

The time has come to suspend the "No Burl Ives" rule.

10:29am Todd76%:

It would be a balm to my fully-realized adult soul to hear some of the mature musical styling of Josh Groban and Michael Buble' this morning.
Ken - Thanks for being the wind beneath my wings.

10:29am P-90:

Ken and Chris Christie "BFFs"? THE Chris Christie?

10:30am jan:

@FɔFɔ: it just occurred to me that this is Andy's Script. Wednesdays I turn off WFMU at 6:00.

10:30am MONEYBAG$:

My mom ruined Christmas a few years ago trying to convince the family that Poco was a classic band

10:31am rsj:

That rectal itch is what makes Andy so funny!

10:32am Listener142985:

Painful Rectal Itch. That's good jam. Time for toast!

10:32am ((Murakami Whywolf):

@Losermom:
Don't worry about 'child abuse' charges in the Yuge Order—you'll be able to do wuth your property as you like!

10:33am FɔFɔ (:

jan,

I think this is not an Andy's script but Ken is being puppeteed by Andy. Like he one did for the legendary SSD's puppetmaster shows.

10:33am Listener142985:

Getting into Mr. Salad Bowl territory--other person's finger?

10:34am rsj:

without that itch, andy would sell insurance or something

10:34am Losermom:

@murakami whywolf, can boys be property? I thought it was only girls.

10:34am jan:

Please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD- purge Ken of Andy's influence.

10:35am Bill W:

OK, i'm glad it's a script. I thought Ken lost another drunk-show bet on 7SD.

10:35am fred:

@P-90: there was a pic (Sandy era). Think about it: Christie got a lot of grief from the alt-right about his hug with Obama. How much about his hug with Ken? None, that's how much

10:36am JakeGould:

This sounds like a toxoplasmosis issue.

10:36am still b/p:

A friend said, for real, when he eliminated a great deal of sugar from his diet, a chronic rectal itch problem was helped considerably. So skip the Skittles and Scotcheroos.

10:36am P-90:

I f Bette Midler's rectal itch isn't gonna ruin the show for her, why should yours ruin it for you?

10:38am Listener142985:

Regaining a bit of focus here. It is all becoming clear.

10:38am Laura L:

Pruritis ani is a Latin term meaning “itchy anus.”

10:38am evancuts:

Two suggestions: Zinc oxide and "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" by England Dan and John Ford Coley.

10:39am Roberto:

Classic rock + rectal itch = win-win!

10:39am rsj:

anal magic is so 2008

🚽

10:40am Webhamster Henry:

WFMU already had an rectal itch hour: Kenny G's Anal Magic ... which became the Hour of Pain.

10:41am Bill W:

That Joel song is funnier than Andy's script.

10:41am ((Murakami Whywolf):

@Losermom:
All children are rightly property—just make sure to have your hubby's _permission_ before you do anything too permanent to a boy.

10:42am Ike:

Why are the phones so fucked up? Is it because Breckman is using one of the phone lines to control Ken's brain via cybernetic rectal connection?

10:43am Brian C.:

I actually wouldn't mind hearing "Uptown Girl."

10:43am FɔFɔ (:

It's impromptu! Ken is listening and repeating what Andy is telling him, That's how puppetmaster works.

🚽

10:43am AnAnonymousParty:

Isn't "Itchy, Itchy Anus" a Billy Ray Cyrus song?

10:43am still b/p:

Can you air a live conference call of people singing along with Piano Man?

10:44am P-90:

For "rectal itch": try stirring a small amount of high-purity powder cocaine into the gel squeezed from a fresh-cut aloe vera leaf. Coat the first 4-5 inches of the rectum and the area immediately surrounding the anus with the mixture, and leave it undisturbed while is is absorbed (about 10-12 minutes).
Should bring relief in 95%+ of cases.
Good luck.

10:44am Jeff:

I think the main thing we're learning is how obsessed Andy is with Ken's anus.

10:45am Listener142985:

Hand jobs are nothing to be coy about. Just say it loud.

10:45am Lizardner Dave:

So does this mean we'll get an hour of music tonight during SSD since we're getting SSD now?

10:46am ((Murakami Whywolf):

Completely without irony:

Having heard 'You can' t dress trashy 'less you spend a lot of money' very shortly after my first exposure to c.1980 Melrose Ave, I liked the line…and the internal rhyme and rhythm of 'true-baby-blue Continental'.

10:46am rsj:

steel wool?

10:47am Roberto:

Note to self: pick up baby wipes after work.

10:47am jan:

Too Offensive. I had to turn off the show. I'll be back at 11:00 to see if things improve.

10:47am Brian C.:

No -- not baby wipes -- use Babies!

10:47am P-90:

@rsj: for rectal itch or hand job? or both?

10:47am foofs:

Roadcone. Hammer. Nails. Job done.

10:49am ((Murakami Whywolf):

Andy and Ken:
You DO realise that unless you're a wired-in real estate guy who also doesn't pay his workmen, or edit a shite newspaper you bought, as Hebrews your only place by Year Three will be counting Large-Handed Leader's money in a yarmulke?

10:49am jan:

Am I alone in thinking that Andy has a sense of humor for TV, but not radio?

10:49am mm1gue1:

ken, i know how to fix your anal conundrum. go to a tall mirror(or the camera on your phone) drop trow, bend over, and flick off that little corn kernel outta there!

10:49am Okasa:

The best cure for hiccups is a rectal message. No joke.

10:49am MONEYBAG$:

only Allentown can save you

10:50am ((Murakami Whywolf):

@foofs
No, 'Handjob done.'.

10:50am Mikeee:

River Of Dreams and Rectal Itch

10:51am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@P-90:
Viscous lidocaine is simpler, and can be misspelled 'vicious lie cocaine'.

10:51am rsj:

can anyone else feel the hand job!

10:52am Sam:

This is SICK!!!!

🚽

10:52am Webhamster Henry:

Are you finishing with some Barry Manilow?

10:54am Okasa:

Rectal *massage*

10:56am Bill W:

Doctor, my ears!

10:57am pantz:

You're cracked, @Ken

10:57am Sam:

What drug did Ken take today??

10:58am Matt in Hillsborough:

LEGALIZE RANCH!!!! #311

10:58am cory:

that was fucking awesome

🚽

10:59am Webhamster Henry:

Ken's drug: Ayahuasca (from Ann Magnusson)

🚽

11:00am Webhamster Henry:

Even drugged, and with a painful physical disability, Ken can't help making an awesome segue.

11:00am FɔFɔ (:

I reckon it was Andyhuasca.

11:00am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@Okasa:
…and <u>any</u> rectal massage is improved by hiccoughs.

11:01am (Murakami Whywolf)):

I can tell you what YOUR best interests are because I'm a little voice in your ear telling you everything you will say.

11:02am Okasa:

@ Murakami Whywolf - I'd imagine a whole host of ailments can be cured by a rectal massage.

11:05am FɔFɔ (:

Jan,

You can come now. Ken has exited Andy already. He is back to 'normal'.

11:05am Matt in Hillsborough:

oh yeah OH YEAH

11:06am PKNY:

VVVVVVVOOOOOOOIIIIIVVVVOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!

11:06am cory:

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

11:07am sphere:

voivod

🚽

11:07am Ken From Hyde Park:

Voivod! !! !!!

11:08am (Murakami Whywolf)):

Male gazist of me I know, but suddenly all my attention is on the woman in the background instead of the brainy axing in the foreground. You can get away with a lot if you kill brains.

11:08am Jeff:

The best / worst / best moment during the Difficult Hour was when that poor JM lady called during "Speak up... goodbye!"

11:08am Oh:

Oh ... Voivod.

11:09am jan:

@FɔFɔ- Thanks for thinking of me. I tuned in at 11:00 precisely, was Ken back to his senses earlier?

11:09am Jack:

Is the difficult hour over now? Can we return safely?

11:10am steveo:

Lovin' this classic rock, Ken, so mature!

11:12am FɔFɔ (:

Jeff,

I know! And she sounded like a venerable and adorable 70 year old lady.

11:12am Sam:

Jeff, I think that woman was making a joke. I don't think someone would call JM in the AM on that number, esp when it's not during the show.

11:14am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@Matt\ in\ Hillsborough:
I saw Eric Andre and Mary Lynn Rajskub in a scene in "Two Broke Girls", and wondered what these two good-to-amazing people were doing in the most aggressively shitty show I've ever seen, it makes "Three's Company" look like Edward Albee by comparison. Then I realised that Andre probably made more money from one episode of that show than from all the seasons of his own.

11:15am Sam:

This isn't foxy lady, this is Purple Haze!

11:15am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth and all Hump Dayers.

11:15am Sam:

Oh, the day has been thoroughly humped, don't worry about that!

11:16am steveo:

ITYM Hand Job Dayers. HTH.

11:16am Okasa:

I can just imagine the sweet 70 yo grandma calling the station back and asking to talk to the manager to complain about the rude treatment she received on the phone!

11:18am FɔFɔ (:

Okasa,

Specially when she is the largest WFMU marathon donor.

11:19am βrian:

Love Kane's calamitous guitar.

11:20am Sam:

I'm tired of guitars, Ken. Some time can you do three hours of only songs without guitars?

11:20am rsj:

this should be an alternate stream, 24-7 looping

11:21am pantz:

Never could stand Sandy Dennis as an actress.

11:21am Ike:

@Murakami, a friend made me watch a few episodes. It's always horrendous. It's like the scripts are all rough drafts where they put in "like-a-jokes" (space filler to be replaced by real jokes later) and then never went back and filled in any real jokes.

11:22am Marcel M:

G'morning Ken and friends.

11:23am Bill W:

But this is Sandy Dennis before the act wore thin.

11:24am βrian:

I can hear the ice in the glass ...

11:24am rsj:

thought it is elizabeth taylor?

11:26am rsj:

the itch is real

11:27am Listener142985:

Sandy Denny was fine for this part. ''Violence!''

11:28am PortableAnarchy:

Roger Waters- King of the Primal Scream!

11:28am Carmichael:

After reading the comments, I thank my god that I missed all of it.

11:28am Bill W:

Liz is Martha, Sandy is Honey.

🚽

11:30am -Ken:

If you missed it, tune in from 6-7pm tonight to hear it again, only different.

11:30am Carmichael:

Hmmm, let me consider ... NO!!!

11:32am pantz:

I see here Sandy Dennis died at the age of 55. That's so young.

11:32am nickrhombi:

...hey, didnt james taylor used to do a version of careful with that axe eugene in the live set at the troubadour?

11:35am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@Ike:
No, I think that Whitney Cummings, after trying to make it as a comedian, developed an hatred for her audience that burned like a thousand suns, and decided to create something so horrible yet tailored to that audience that its success would confirm that the hate were justified. I think the actors, except for the older sex-joke woman and maybe Garrett Morris, are *told* to do terrible line-readings…but there are 'funny foreigners' and two leads who between them probably excite 80% of the male audience, dollar-store Buffy 'n' Faith. (I _resent_ how keenly my eye is drawn to Kat Dennings overstuffed into her clothes….)

11:38am steveo:

Why are there so many songs about crucifixion?

11:38am geezerette:

Hahaha,AWFULNESS!

11:38am Carmichael:

Al Stewart sang See Emily Play live one time. Seriously.

11:38am Listener Jason:

Ken, your singing voice is lovely!

11:38am βrian:

There's a Kermit sound-alike who rides my bus. I'm not sure he knows.

11:41am Listener142985:

''Nail me kill me beat me.'' He's hired.

11:41am geezerette:

Weber/Rice deserve no less, because there is none.

11:42am ifny:

Seriously, this Kermit song qualifies as one of the weirdest I've heard on 'MFU. And that's saying a lot. Well done Ken.

11:42am βrian:

To me, Dutch sounds like gravel in a clothes dryer.

11:44am steveo:

The actual artist on the Kermit version appears to be Christo Graham (on bandcamp).

🚽

11:44am Webhamster Henry:

More foreign language rock operas please. www.youtube.com...

11:44am geezerette:

Haha, :) It's the song not the singer.

11:45am ifny:

@steveo It's not Jim Henson? Weird.

11:45am (Murakami Whywolf)):

Is "The Last Supper" on this? ; the Apostles come-off so badly in it….

Or some of the Japanese version starting Chairman Koji?

Fun fact: on Broadway and in the film, Peter was played by *uh* 'prominent' pornographic actor Paul Thomas. YOU make the joke.

11:45am Carmichael:

I would love to hear the Professor Irwin Corey version of this sing.

11:46am pantz:

@steveo It ain't easy being green Jesus

11:46am geezerette:

hahahahaha :)

11:46am swaby:

Many of the annoying issues with debris in clothes dryers can easily be solved by simply checking and emptying the pockets of jeans and shirts and unraveling knotted clothes and the like before inserting into the washer.

11:46am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@Listener142985:
'Loser—I like Messiahs who DON'T get nailed-up. '

11:47am Sandy:

About the abused callers, I suspect that Ken may have been using pre-recorded material. It was all a little pat. Are people really calling constantly or he just happened to have a few callers in those few minutes when he wanted to do that shtick?

11:48am Listener142985:

Counter-intuition--that's a guy who will do anything The Baas needs. Even itch-scratching perhaps.

11:48am ifny:

I've been calling constantly. It's my thing.

11:49am ifny:

Not sure if I've been phoning 'FMU though. I don't really pay attention to that part.

11:49am steveo:

@pantz

11:49am ifny:

Dance Dance Dial Fingers!

11:51am geezerette:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

11:51am Okasa:

Centurion: What's this, then? "Romanis eunt domus"? People called Romans, they go the house?
Brian: It says, "Romans go home!”
Centurion: No it doesn’t!

11:52am FɔFɔ (:

You know tonite's SSD episode is bound to be a classic judging by the number of people here already complaining about it.

11:52am steveo:

Well, the "100" emoji worked in the preview, but I don't see it now. So I'll try again: @pantz: bravo!

11:52am Cliff in Prague:

Hey everybody, what'd I miss?

11:52am geezerette:

Do-See-Do'H...

11:52am Brendan:

Thanks Ken

11:53am cory:

did someone put lsd in my coffee?

11:53am jan:

This past segment has been the joyful noise that I have loved these many years.

11:53am steveo:

@cliff billy joel gave us a handjob!

11:54am FɔFɔ (:

Cliff,

You have missed one of the most epic Ken's show ever! I wonder if Ken would archive it.

11:55am βrian:

Oh, my. It's already almost time for the Train. How time flies.

11:56am ((Murakami Whywolf):

'Mournful song' scene is from "Sadko", great Mosfilm soectacular from what future President's beau Putin calls 'best old days'

11:56am FɔFɔ (:

Considering Ken never allowed to archive the show where he is very drunk in that SSD episode with the monk start I'll recommend to record tonite's SSD episode just in case!!!

11:56am Kat in Chicago:

That was quite a show!

11:56am Cliff in Prague:

Of course I would choose going shopping for computer crap instead of staying home and listening to one of the most epic Ken shows ever. I'm such a dumbass sometimes.

11:57am βrian:

Look at those happy young lardons!

🚽

11:57am Ken From Hyde Park:

@βrian - No Train today. BLT filling in for Duane.
