Kommissar Ken! Good morning!

Happy to know you are back again!

🚽

7:06am -Ken:

Sorry about missing last week f0f0. I am back to crash the website before the show even begins.

🚽

7:07am -Ken:

I think that the guitar string GIF outghta do it...

🚽

7:30am AnAnonymousParty:

GM. Ha, I remember the commercial with the fish in the pan, I always wondered if she mistakenly sprayed the pan with super glue instead of Pam.

7:43am F²F³ (:

The guitar GIF hasn't crashed my browser...yet. 34 minutes in and my browser has not finished download it. But that's ok. Show starts in 1 hour and a half. I'm in no hurry.

🚽

7:45am -Ken:

Requests PLEASE!

🚽

7:46am AnAnonymousParty:

And you can tell the turkey isn't real as it doesn't immediately start pecking at the mirror ball to see if it is something that can be eaten.

🚽

7:50am Ken From Hyde Park:

Requesting Killdozer because they're so good.

🚽

7:51am -Ken:

Killdozer it shall be,

7:52am Michael:

Schlammpeitziger, Jim Noir,Fuxa, Corn Weeines, Big Sausage Pizza. You know, the usual.

8:05am AnAnonymousParty:

Something involving wild turkeys. Either the animal or the spirit.

🚽

8:13am Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks for Killdozer, Ken. By the way, how's the talent hunt for the new morning show going?

🚽

8:14am -Ken:

Talent hunt is going great! Lots of fantastic people are going to try out, starting January 2nd. I'll do the first week then I;ll start trying people out a week at a time.

🚽

8:17am Ken From Hyde Park:

Wow, cool. Sounds zany already!

8:18am Michael:

Ken, have you contacted Uncle Floyd? Or has he had Skip Rooney contact you?

8:18am Listener Robert:

Wow, took about 10' to load the page w this Linux desktop, Spare, that I haven't used in over a year, but the church laptop stopped booting this week. Now it's taking me forever just to keep the page loaded while writing this comment!

🚽

8:21am -Ken:

Ken from HP, I'm going to resist going in to your comment and changing the word zany to a word that is not zany.

8:21am Listener Robert:

Ken, could you please instead do radio as a visual medium for the blind? ;-)

8:28am orpheusviking:

good morning! how about Kaleidoscope "cuckoo". as far as bird songs go, this is pretty sweet. Its off the album- incredible! kaleidoscope

8:28am Listener Robert:

The bulging electricity meter is a good metaphor for how my computer's straining to keep this up.

🚽

8:31am AnAnonymousParty:

Zany? perhaps kooky or wacky?

8:37am F²F³ (:

Requests?

The time has come for some Vietnam rap!
Ly Ngua O - Vo Chong Lam Bieng

And also for this:
Die Welttraumforscher - Deine Aller Schönsten Dinge

🚽

8:45am AnAnonymousParty:

I'd like to hear something from Yul Brenner.

8:49am Bill Funk:

To honor the noble turkey, how about some Goblin? (Gobblin' ... get it?)

8:49am orpheusviking:

... and telly savalas

🚽

8:51am AnAnonymousParty:

maybe some Patrick Stewart?

8:52am fleep:

Milton Friedman reading Maya Angelou poems, if you have it

🚽

8:54am AnAnonymousParty:

ooh, and a Dr Phil/Jeffery Tambor mash-up!

8:55am cory:

mornin' all

8:55am Roberto:

Ken, I'm thinking conditions are right for a "You Get What You Give" comeback.

🚽

8:56am Ken From Hyde Park:

Has anyone listened to Kanye West's recent stage rant? Is that good radio, either straight-up or mashed?

8:57am Okasa:

Hey Kens. Hey non-Kens.

8:58am redkayak:

Hey Ken.

How about some Richard Thompson?

8:59am redkayak:

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone :)

8:59am jan:

how about some cheerful 1960s music- the Association?

9:00am cory:

could you play "sex dirt" by negativland?

🚽

9:00am Guido from Cologne:

Good morning Ken and everyone!

9:03am annie:

good morning ken-fans. good morning ken

🚽

9:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

Olga!

9:04am Joe stalvey:

Olga!

9:05am cory:

OOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

9:05am Uncle Michael:

I need this for my ringtone.

9:05am redkayak:

Some Zappa would cheer me up....

9:05am Roberto:

Anything by Dokaka would also fit the bill.

🚽

9:09am -Ken:

Great requests everybody! Keep 'em coming. Yeah I was wondering about the Kanye stage rant also, Ken from HP.

9:10am sphere:

hello peops.

9:11am sphere:

how about Spike Jones' take on "Chloe"?

9:12am doctorjazz:

This is pretty amazing, the Olga Podluzhnaya

9:12am redkayak:

Come to think of it, Alvin & the Chipmunks would cheer me up too

9:14am redkayak:

This'll do, however.... :)

9:14am northguineahills:

Doesn't kurva mean something akin to shit or damnit in Polish and other slavic languages?

🚽

9:16am Ken From Hyde Park:

Did listener Ike send in that goatpuncher GIF? It's hilarious.

9:17am JtotheK:

Ken - will your week of morning radio be the call-in show "Speak Up, Goodbye" ?

🚽

9:17am -Ken:

Not exactly northgh but close. It means "carcass wrapped in cotton and buried under the ground for five years or longer." It's a delicacy.

9:17am doctorjazz:

Not as oddball as some requests, and I think you played it at some point, but Aztec Camera's "Jump" would be great to hear.

9:18am redkayak:

Delicacy? Hmm...you can have my portion. I'll stick to the cranberry sauce

🚽

9:19am -Ken:

Yes JtotheK, "Speak Up Goodbye" will be a regular segment, on the tens.

9:20am F²F³ (:

FAT FREDDY!!!!

Although I prefer Low-Fat Freddy.

9:21am JtotheK:

Hooray!

9:25am Lizardner Dave:

Any chance we could hear Railroad Bill?

9:25am sphere:

sometimes i wonder about these "delicacies," like Iceland's fermented shark or lutefisk. But look at "stinky tofu," right?

9:26am annie:

are you waiting until inauguration day to play the obama lovesong?

9:27am jan:

Great show today! Ken and listeners: have you been watching the PBS program Soundbreaking? It's been a very engaging history of recorded music
http://www.openculture.com/2016/11/watch-soundbreaking-online-pbs-8-part-series-exploring-the-cutting-edge-of-recording-music.html -

9:27am sugarwolf:

@ngh: I think kurva means bitch or whore in a variety of Slavic languages from what I remember from my book of international swears and curses.

9:28am melinda:

Morning everyone!

9:29am annie:

good morning melinda!

9:30am northguineahills:

Thanks sugarwolf, I've only heard it used in conversation.

9:30am Sebastian:

A doze of Killdozer, thank you!

9:31am doctorjazz:

Great Neil Diamond cover!

9:33am annie:

this can grow on me, yes, i like it

9:33am Neil Diamond:

Was I drunk?

🚽

9:33am Ken From Hyde Park:

This is wonderful on so many levels!

9:34am Sem Chumbo:

I am, I said, now listening to Ken, along with others who listen to Ken, too.
Good morning.

9:36am 3rdAFCrewChief:

good morning from Punta Gorda FL

9:36am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Who has carrot cake?

9:38am Stuart:

How about "Thank you for being a friend" by Andrew Gold

9:38am Lyn Cassady:

I can do a number on a goat.

9:42am Roberto:

Thumbs up for Matilda Mother!

9:42am Cheri Pi:

Carrot cake? [twitches awake]

9:48am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Sonny's delivery sounds nearly Residents-esque here.

9:49am bobdoesthings:

goodmorning

9:50am Slim Pickins:

whaddup ya'll greetings from Miami

9:50am Sem Chumbo:

Suitable for apres ski listening.

9:51am crateslinger:

Is that an eel leaping from a butter churn onto a soccer mom?

9:52am bobdoesthings:

I think its a failed plunger attempt and thats suppose to be poop water?

9:52am cee:

hell yeah heroin addicts!

9:53am crateslinger:

9:53am Fuzzy:

Wesley, is that you?

9:54am crateslinger:

hell yeah big fence!

9:54am 3rdAFCrewChief:

Amen...hire more snipers

9:54am cory:

haha, our president is a neo-nazi :'(

9:56am Fuzzy:

Rock over London -- Rock on, Jersey City -- Sinclair Lewis: It Can't Happen Here

9:58am herb.nyc:

Hi. Kinda serious question- when Andy Breckman did folk songs, was he as topical as *these*?

9:58am Goyim in the AM:

I don't wanna cast aspersions on the Joker fan, but somehow I think he's more convincing in the conservative role.

9:59am Jim:

Killdozer was also sounding like The Residents - we're dancing all around those eyeball guys today.

10:00am ?:

No GIFs?

🚽

10:01am -Ken:

These songs are too damn short!

10:02am Yvang on android:

That is equal time!

10:03am Marcel M:

10:04am Bill W:

Andy's folk songs took at least 10 minutes longer to write than these.

10:04am melinda:

I like the political songs.

10:04am ?:

Jonathan Richman does an English accent?

10:05am bobdoesthings:

was that eric idle?

10:05am annie:

i really like these actually

10:05am jan:

It's good to be exposed to dissenting opinions! Thank you, now back to the party line, please.

10:05am Marc Francis:

Sounded like a drunken Billy Bragg.

10:06am annie:

@bdt: yeah it sounded like him

10:07am Yvang on app:

or a non romantic D Jonston

10:07am crateslinger:

Why did I have to come in to work today?

10:07am upsetter5001:

More Sonny BONO!

10:07am Roberto:

YES! Save the children!

10:08am bobdoesthings:

these songs are making me queasy

10:08am Ed Zeppole:

I DEMAND AN END TO FUCKING CENSORSHIP ON WFMU!

10:08am crateslinger:

I think if you kick a cop like that, you might get your head smashed in.

10:09am cee:

making my own clothes right now!

10:10am annie:

man, this sounds like 70s radio, before censorship got carried away with itself!

10:10am Parq:

"Amusing anecdotes?"

10:12am Wilson.:

Your show sounds like facebook!

🚽

10:13am Ken From Hyde Park:

There's a GIF out there of a custom Virginia license plate with a slogan "Children First" at the bottom and the person has "EAT THE" for the text.

10:14am FMthatguy:

Ip Man? That's pronounced "ip" as in "yip". I believe.

10:14am rsj:

always confused about the semi-automatic vs full automatic, that sounded automatic to me.

10:14am cory:

i don't wanna go to work

10:14am Sam:

Please eat your own face before attempting to eat the faces of those around you.

10:15am crateslinger:

cats are just waiting for you to die so they can eat your face. They start with the lips, then the eyelids. It's true.

10:16am crateslinger:

Dogs just sit down and cry.

10:17am Sam:

If they're hungry enough they start when you're alive. Mine do every morning.

10:17am FMthatguy:

You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work!

10:18am Sem Chumbo:

four part Sonny Bono drug thing: www.youtube.com...

10:18am crateslinger:

My cats don't come near me. We have an understanding.

10:19am crateslinger:

they have to wait

10:20am Marcel M:

Good to hear you Kenny, yr my sound track to driving upstate. Going to leave you on until my mother in law freaks out.

10:20am melinda:

Nice cover! Gives it a new vibe. Though I like the original too.

10:20am Marcel M:

She doesn't speak English so that helps

🚽

10:20am -Ken:

RSJ - You're right. That was an automatic, not a semi. I mis-spoke

10:32am crateslinger:

Anybody know that diy R&B single about saving the children where the guy is like crying? Maybe it's on FMA

10:32am Michele:

This is so good.

🚽

10:34am -Ken:

Aint it Michele? Laurice is amazing. Crateslinger, I dont know that, but it sounds great. Let me know when you ID it.

10:34am northguineahills:

What Michele said....

10:36am annie:

oh crap i went to a google search for an older book about the journey of the pilgrims, entitled "saints and sinners"
.....holy moly it ain't my mother's bookshelves anymore..

10:41am crateslinger:

The bug trump reminds me of tv show, "Braindead" on amazon. Pretty funny political satire. Worth checking out.

10:43am Bill W:

Relevant travel news: Lufthansa strike!

10:46am Slim Pickins:

been itchin to hear some Khlam this morning

🚽

10:47am -Ken:

I am happy to oblige, Slim.

10:48am PortableAnarchy:

They can send a man to the moon but they cant make a breakfast cereal that doesnt rip the shit out of the roof of your mouth

10:50am axlotl:

An especially appropriate gif there for convict scorpion.

10:53am tadpoles:

That ant Trumpface gif is just so damn good!

10:54am Ike:

I haven't watched BrainDead yet, but don't expect a season 2. That's actually a CBS-Amazon co-production, I think. It mega-flopped on CBS this past summer. Probably not a good fit for the old folks' serial-killer-around-every-corner murder channel. Definitely going to check it out on Amazon anyway though.

10:56am Polyus:

Y'know, I don't think I have seen any discussion of Black Mirror Season 3 around here. Is anyone even watching?

10:59am Ike:

@Polyus, yeah, it's brilliant! And freaking terrifying. Except "Playtest", that one is stupid. But hey, can't win 'em all.

11:00am Polyus:

Yeah, Playtest was really bad. I still have to watch one more episode. I like the new season, maybe not as much as the other two though. Maybe that's just me.

🚽

11:02am -Ken:

Yeah, I liked Season Three of Black Mirror but not as much as S1 and S2. The last two episodes of S3 were my favorites. Agree with you on Playtest Ike, that was dumb. The Facebook and 4Chan episodes were also good.

11:02am cee:

outstanding gif selection today ken

11:03am ScottC:

Punky Sabbath

11:03am JakeGould:

Hello!

11:03am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Working from home & studying the Trump/ants gif while nodding through a conference call... it helps.

11:03am Cheri Pi:

Hey Ken, you should include the Amazon Smile donation info on this page, I"m going to convince my parents to add you so all their holiday shopping benefits th' Station pledge.wfmu.org...

11:04am bobdoesthings:

YEAAA!

11:06am northguineahills:

This is classic SY.

11:08am bobdoesthings:

might be my favorite SY album

11:09am egal:

Evol

11:10am V Priceless:

great stuff, Ken - thanks for the Cale - been playing this cut quite a bit myself. Seems appropriate for these times.

11:10am Polyus:

Love this record.

11:10am 3rdAFCrewChief:

BOMBS AWAY

11:16am bobdoesthings:

KHLAMMMM

11:16am Cory @ work:

kkkkkkkkkhhhhhhhlllllllaaaaaaammmmmmmmm!!!!!

11:16am F²F³ (:

KLHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!!!!!

Wait! I forgot one extra A!

KLHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!!!!!

11:18am F²F³ (:

Thanks, Ken, for playing Die Welttraumforscher!

11:18am Kat in Chicago:

Dang, looks like I've missed some great Ken this morning. At least I was in time for KHLAAAAAMMMMMMM

11:19am Slim Pickins:

YES! KHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMM!! my morning has officially been made

🚽

11:22am -Ken:

Thank God Khlam has come to us all.

11:24am Dean:

Goddammit, I missed "Mercenaries"! Oh, well. Next year, I guess.

11:25am crateslinger:

@ Ike - I was wondering why the CBS logo was there in the credits. Braindead is not a regular tv type tv show and I'd really like to congratulate the people who lost their jobs over it as well as producer Ridley Scott. Very funny, smart and enjoyable farce.

11:28am northguineahills:

oh, boy, can't wait to hear Beaker in the background!

11:28am melinda:

MCS is always a good way to begin the holiday.

11:29am Sam:

Ha, they sound kind of like the muppets

11:33am axlotl:

This is the second time in two days that this song made me get up and try to find my telephone.

11:35am dale:

guy on the other end has a lot to give thanks for.

11:35am Roberto:

Sweaty Freddy!

11:35am bobdoesthings:

hmmm can hardly find anything on this Sandra Philip..

11:36am dale:

can candy pants be far away?

11:38am F²F³ (:

Sweaty Freddy beats Low-Fat Freddy and Fat Freddy.

11:43am Irene Trudel:

Great show as always, Ken! I especially loved the 2nd set. Back to work now...

11:46am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Anti-request against the 'Thank-you, Lord Jesus…'. gif animated image. It won't be funny for me for at least four years and two months.

11:48am Roberto:

You're referring to my cat Beaker, right? Pictured to the left <--

11:51am (Murakami Whywolf))):

"Bigot Ambush", please.

11:51am F²F³ (:

That's porest speak right there.

11:53am JakeGould:

Mom.

11:55am Roberto:

Finally, a companion song to Foom's Stinky.

11:55am bobdoesthings:

this is my dad's type of humor.

11:56am Okasa:

This holiday season, I have a lot to be thankful for, and WFMU and Ken's show are on that list.

11:56am Okasa:

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

11:57am bobdoesthings:

Thanks Ken! Have a Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

11:57am frozen_peas:

Cyrillic alphabet quibble here. 'Tis хлам, not клам. The letter "х" is often transliterated as "kh" to convey the raspiness of its pronunciation but a "k" it ain't.

11:57am Brendan:

Thanks
