Wise Men Say: Ken's show

Listener comments!

I can't go back to sleep until the …TOO_BIGs come out to play…or _can_ I?

Good morning, Ken. Request for Yoda turntabilising George Formby, "On the Beat"—or maybe the original. …or "The Laughing Policeman". …or Penn Jillette chanelling Kramer complaining about Ann Magnuson. …or just have a good morning.

6:23am FܒFܒ:

Quick, Murakami! Seize the mic and I'll go and take over of the music library!

This is a coup d'é·tat, Ken! We, the peoples' liberation listener winged-monkey army, are taking over!

C'mon, cory! Show up! Request all the barenaked ladies music you can! Today's xmas for you!

🚽

6:26am -Ken:

Sorry f0f0 and Murakami, was busy preparing today's hazmat report but glad that the playlist is in good hands!

6:44am FܒFܒ: (:

(Pst! Murakami...Retreat! Retreat! Please stand there and look casual)

Oh, hi Ken! I'm just here with Murakami thinking which song should I request today.

* whistles innocently*

7:44am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Ken, can you please play Careful With That Axe, Eugene byThe Pink Floyd or Insane in the Membrane by Cypress Hill or ANYTHING by Styx? Blue Collar Man would be extremely cool. Or anything by Can.

8:16am Listener Robert:

Don't expect a genie to put out your fire. Even those who have your back may burn you, or even whale away on you. When your eyes are too big for your stomach, when your balls are too big for your legs, that umbrella's not going to help. Beset by flood and fire, things seem to be going downhill, but the tentacles won't entrap you. because you have within you the seed of reversal of your bad fortune. Everything goes in cycles, and you can either get pulled along or ride the wave.

8:21am AnAnonymousParty:

GM all. I would like to hear a recording of David Crosby eating a McRib sandwich. An animated GIF to accompany it would be icing on the cake.

🚽

8:25am Ken From Hyde Park:

Ack, the firefighters in California would sure love to see an inch or two of of that floody rain that's been besetting the east coast.

🚽

8:26am -Ken:

David Crosby eating coming right up

🚽

8:52am -Ken:

Gonna need record title and label help today everybody. It's a Soundexchange reporting week.

8:54am Sebastian:

good morning! Ken, if you're still taking requests, I can always go for some Eläkeläiset, and they deserve some money, those whacky Finns. Promise to check discogs fou you!

9:00am FܒFܒ:

A good freaking God! I'm still waiting since 6am for the last two more BIG GIFS to load and the show is about to start!

9:17am Megaroni:

Ding my dong, rama a lama Sir Ken! All hail!

9:17am fred:

@ngh: again, agreed. Though this mix lacks energy compared to the original

9:21am northguineahills:

@fred: I used to mix the two together when djing...

9:21am MD:

WHEN WE WERE GIANTS!!! I GET IT!!!!

9:21am David Crosby:

Where's my sandwich? Am I gettin' a sandwich or not? I was plannin' to go to KFC, but if I'm gettin' a sandwich I can wait.

9:22am MD:

GOOD MORNING GANG!!!

9:22am fred:

@ngh: do you remember the time Kathleen Hanna told the Smells Like Teen Spirit origin story? (I love her version, though it's too short) www.youtube.com...

Those were the days.

I was HUGE!

9:26am thedunkel:

Good Morning Ken! Good Morning All! Good Morning Khlam!

9:27am northguineahills:

@Sebastian: cost overruns were denied for a change

9:37am FܒFܒ:

PLU,

I guess it's from the same 4D designer from the other animated GIF where a huge Ripper is watching cars passing by through the San Francisco golden bridge.

9:38am northguineahills:

I might be biased....

9:38am hendrix wolfbat:

Loving your show this morning. Thanks for this awesome music

Thank you FܒFܒ: - so not from a movie, sigh... wishing you well, FܒFܒ, maybe see you in Lidl again sometime

9:39am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I do NOT miss mosh pits. Nope, not one bit. One time at the Ritz for a Ministry show a seven foot tall dude weighing 300 pounds wearing an SS shirt picked me up by two belt loops and flung me like a water bottle across the floor. At that point I said, "OK, mosh pit, you win, I'm out" and went upstairs to watch the show on their closed circuit TV.

9:40am Chris from DC:

I missed Sudden Infant, drat.

9:40am Linda Lee:

good morning Ken! alas, my Lyme is acting up like a bitch! mais, c'est la guerre. glad you're back!

9:41am Sam:

Oh jesus is the show over already??

9:42am northguineahills:

9:42am fred:

@Wild Neil: Aesop Rock mentions a Ministry show at the Ritz in one of his songs. Maybe it was this one?

9:42am People Like Us:

yes, Ken just said he's on a bad acid trip and is going home

9:42am Sebastian:

thanks Ken, good show!

9:43am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@ Fred-it it was circa 1990 or so yeah. 1989-1993 or so at the latest.

9:43am People Like Us:

thanks Ken, same time next week

9:43am northguineahills:

@WN: I've been amazingly fun mosh pits, and a singular one like the one you described.

9:44am David Crosby:

Bad acid trip = I ain't gettin' a sandwich. Been there done that.

9:46am Michele:

You're going to need to take mushrooms ASAP to counter attack the bad acid trip

9:46am Chris from DC:

I don't enjoy pits like I used to either, though sometimes it was really fun.

9:47am Chris from DC:

Also, thanks for my all time favorite Elvis moment.

9:47am FܒFܒ:

Thanks,Vicki!

Ha! I haven't been to that LIDL in a while. Now I go to one in Beckenham.

This is the complete work of the guy that made that amazing eye GIF. It's hard to believe everything you see is computer generated.

9:47am Sebastian:

the How To Be A Latin Lover O.S.T. was released on Nacional Records

9:48am βrian:

Any idea where that flash flood took place?

9:49am northguineahills:

I'm older then most, I enjoy a good mosh pit if it's a good band and te audience is conscience of people's well-being.

9:49am People Like Us:

9:50am AnAnonymousParty:

Don't be too hard on Elvis. He went from being a poor, no-talent, backwoods slob to a rich, no-talent, backwoods slob. An American success story if ever there was one.

9:51am Sam:

And like most Americans, it was peanut butter that did him in.

9:51am Sam:

Although I've also heard rumors that Elvis died in a mosh pit

9:51am βrian:

Whereimin?

9:52am Linda Lee:

bit harsh to say Elvis had no talent. don't confuse the man with his material.

THAT'S WHY I AM GOING TO HELLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:55am FܒFܒ:

Ha! I hope LIDLs don't end up being the only EU bastions in the post-Brexit Britannia.

9:55am JakeGould:

@-Ken: So is the “Gig Talk” thing going to be all of “White Light/White Heat” or just the song “White Light/White Heat?”

9:55am andaloudog:

Oh yes dammit, Wing

9:55am MD:

in hell...guitar playing thru 3 Big Muffs at a times..... play all day!!!!

9:56am northguineahills:

As much as I agree w/ Chuck D, Elvis had talent, and was an artis...

9:56am Ike:

Clara Rockmore: Bridge Records

9:56am MD:

"goodbye cosmic man!"

9:58am MD:

this sound track should be playing at all times all around the USA....!

9:59am northguineahills:

(See Pamelia Kurstin for theremin artistry).

10:00am βrian:

The sound of theremin conjures the travails of Penny and Will Robinson.

10:00am People Like Us:

soundtrack to Ken's bad acid holiday

10:00am The Oscar:

@ngh I think I heard an interview with Chuck D where he said he's since learned more about Elvis and now gives him some respect, both as an artist and for bringing black music to a wider audience. IIRC, he ended the interview with "That being said: Fuck John Wayne."

10:00am βrian:

Oh my cat has claws like that.

10:00am The Oscar:

Also loving this theremin set!

10:00am melinda:

@PLU haha

10:01am Sebastian:

I AM interested in the unknown!

10:01am Linda Lee:

definitely agree with Chuck D on John Wayne.

10:01am peapod ross:

@seb: the known unknowns or the unknown unknows?

10:01am Webhamster Henry:

Hi Ken! You should switch this up with a little musical saw!

Hey! He skipped the line about "future events such as these will affect us in the future, for that's where we will spend the rest of our lives!"

10:02am People Like Us:

bad acid holidays make good radio

Why F John Wayne?
"John Wayne is a fag"

10:04am MD:

click,click,click....!
the kids just don't understand!!!
well some of them!

10:05am FܒFܒ:

I loved that Bernard Hermann tune. I did not know he is the same guy who composed those crazy sounding violins from Psycho.

10:05am Linda Lee:

Bernard Hermann = genius! we hear lots of him on Morricone Island. yay!

I think Tago Mago was on Spoon records...

10:10am βrian:

Being more Old School, I prefer the acoustic theremin.

10:11am northguineahills:

@weiterso: Yeah, she's also on the Bob Moog doc as well (he designed her theremin)

10:12am Linda Lee:

Amazon says the label is Mute US

10:12am peapod ross:

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say:

akoustick hookah

10:13am duke:

Tago Mago (40th Anniversary Edition) is on Mute

Is the acoustic Theremin the saw?

Here's a pessimistic/realistic assessment of peri-Brexit Britain from a great s.f. writer and reasonable futurist, Charles Stross:
www.antipope.org...

Spoiler: stockpile any legal drugs you need to live, also food if you need that.

Fun fact: the Dutch started recruiting thousands of new customs officers immediately post-referrndum…a very practical people, usually.

(Note: 'antipope' is not an anti-Catholic site, but named via a fossilised spelling mistake—and the antipopes all considered themselves good Catholics, anyway.)

10:15am Sebastian:

the Ed Wood Soundtrack was, of course, on Hollywood Records

10:17am peapod ross:

if it's not an anti-catholic site I don't want any part of it. Thanks for the warning sir.

10:17am MD:

DIGGIN' THIS GROOOOVE!!! KEEP IT GOING MY MAN!!!

10:17am Linda Lee:

@(Murikami Whywolf))) ~ looks like a good read. thank you!

10:18am peapod ross:

10:19am Steve B._Parsippany_NJ:

Hello Ken. That opening set with the female vocalists was one of the best sets I've heard on WFMU. Lovely! Thanks!

that's probably true. Also I always think of werewolves as male. are there lady werewolves?

10:20am peapod ross:

sounds like a college basketball team from 1962.

Thanks, Murakami.

I thought it was 'An Tipope,com', you know? Named after those rare creatures from beneath the deep sea.

Great amazin Dutch fun fact! I was I was that clever when it comes to anticipating the needs of the market. Funny thing is that the UK government already asked their citizens to start stockpiling medicines in case of a hard breakout with the EU.

10:25am Linda Lee:

you're welcome, sir. :-)

10:29am weiterso:

todays gif-show is outstanding. diver/whales and the burning mercedes...

10:29am Linda Lee:

query for the assembled: shall i buy an early 20th century crank victrola to park on the lip of a bowl-shaped valley with bouncy echoes? it's cheap.

10:31am peapod ross:

@Linda - in short, yes.

10:31am Linda Lee:

thank you! :-)

10:33am FܒFܒ: (:

Ken,

You can stop asking for help for the names and labels. I just happen to know that all the labels' names you'll need from now on are called "Fofo Records". This has nothing to do with the fact I set up a record label today nor I did it in order to intercept those cheques from the SoundExchange program.

10:33am melinda:

I'm digging the groove too. Sitar Power! (fist raised)

10:34am Linda Lee:

way to go, Fofo!!

10:34am peapod ross:

Maybe Ken has one or two unused victrola records in the record library.

10:34am FܒFܒ: (:

By the way:

Artist: Ashwin Batish
Album: Sitar Power
Label: Fofo Records

10:35am Linda Lee:

i'm actually getting about 50 with the machine. plus i have 20 or 30 already. i'm set.

10:37am peapod ross:

Whoa - That is great.

10:40am Maximum Utmost:

very cool!

10:40am Linda Lee:

i'll be happy when it's in hand. before then, anything can happen!

10:40am peapod ross:

that was weird of me anyway to try and give away wfmu's things.

10:41am Webhamster Henry:

Yes - Bombay Boogie was a staple of the WFMU Catalog!

oh, i would've made it worthwhile for sure.
there's always the record fair, too!

Yes! f0f0 LLC!

Malcolm Gladwell picks apart Elvis now? snoozerooni!

10:44am Linda Lee:

10:45am hendrix wolfbat:

Also had to get on the interwebz to see all these gifs I've read about in this thread. Cool shoe Ken.

10:45am steveo:

40 years wow! Thanks for WFMU, Ken. Hard to imagine life without it.

10:46am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Does Gladwell take into account Elvis' mega-colon?

10:46am Linda Lee:

it's *always* time for Rockabye Baby!

10:46am FܒFܒ: (:

No problem, Hendrix wolfbat. I also noticed Sebastian posted the link before I posted it (but I did not notice afterwards). So thank you too, Sebastian!

10:52am FLmam:

Actually, the reason he couldn't get thru the song without laughing is because a guy in the audience flipped his toupee at the line "do you stare at your bald head and wish you had hair"

10:52am Asheville Jon:

hope you're doing well. heading on a road trip with the kids in a couple days, gonna be wild

That depends. Is he taking me on an unpleasant trip through Hell where I have to chat with some damned souls stuck in weird fiery holes and stuff? Because what I'd do then is probably plotz.

11:03am Linda Lee:

head on fire? kidneys screaming? yep, sounds like fun!

11:03am Sam:

If Jesus came over, I would take down any crosses I had hanging up. Out of respect for the trauma he went through. And I'd make sure the TV was off so he wouldn't have to see any horrible drug commercials.

11:03am Wild Neil||Peace All:

My 14 year old who is a bit pretentious for a variety of reasons makes sure he extols the virtue of being a Queen fan and that Abba (who my wife, his step mother likes) is for "stupid people". We both corrected him. We like to torture him by playing insipid pop music on the car radio. Is there anything else we could do? He is a bit of an unsufferable person to actually be around at times.

11:03am Asheville Jon:

yeah, they're gonna be surpised. got friends coiming down from ny to see the baseball game, even more surprises

11:03am MD:

I think if Jesus requested bacon I would cook it to be sure. Microwave is the best way to cook bacon, by the way. About 45 seconds per slice usually, more if needed. Uncured bacon from Aldis is really good. I would be stoked to have Jesus in my kitchen.
Hank W is a LEGEND! THANK YOU for playing country, Ken!

if Jesus came over I'd ask him what the heck did he mean to say in Bible's Luke 19:27. I'll be like 'Jesus, don't look away, look at me young boy, and tell me the truth'. That's what I would do.

Pabst Blue Ribbon was insanely popular with Portland OR hipsters. So much so that the more hipster hipsters have switched to Rainier Beer.

11:24am Sam:

When I pronounced it "Ah why ee" they laughed at me

11:24am Dean:

The "r" in Warshington comes from the Midwest.

11:24am berbo:

There is a subtle inflection in the 'official' pronounciation of Oregon, WI, which differs from the State of Oregeon, that I have yet to master in decades of living in WI.

11:25am Rich in Washington:

@Dean: Does it? I've always wondered. Thanks!

We should have a show where Sam speaks English in a French style. It would be high-larious (one step beyond hilarity).

11:25am (((Murakami Whywolf):

I remember a "New York" magazine article from c.1974 about the Coors cult—I recall the author as saying 'It's okayyyyy…but it' s mostly the difficulty.'.

Similarly, in 1994,I brought back from Seattle a bag of coffee beans from this locally-prized place…wife, the coffee-drunker, thought it was okay, a little burnt-tasting. (Funny story: Microsoft said they liked me, but had re-org'd the group later that week, so could I come back again? I had a line on a better-seeming job with Dragon so I passed—Dragon let me go after three months….)

Jerry Reed was the Coors trucker in Smokey and the Bandit

Relying on anecdotal evidence, I'd say yes. A good friend originally from Chicago often refers to "warshing dishes," and my mom, from Toledo (the one in Ohio, not Spain), does the same.

Linda, if you swallow a leopard and it survives, it will probably start eating your insides. I mean, wouldn't you if you were a leopard in that situation? It's the only way out. It's not like you're going to light a fire to make the person sneeze, like Jonah and Pinnochio both did in the Bible.
