The Galaxy Does Not Revolve Around Your Spindle: Ken's show

Listener comments!

Please let us know in advance, when you can, when you're substituting for other DJs. Be well, Ken, and I wish that you do in fact return next year—so much can happen in nine months.

Requests: "Bangin' in the Nails", that mash-up with the rinky-tink piano and Slim Shady, "O Superman"…because they were American planes, made in America.

6:12am -Ken:

Morning!

🚽

6:13am -Ken:

Dont worry Murakami, I am definitely coming back in nine months. My last show in this slot will be September 12 and I'll be filling in for Joe McGasko on Monday October 1.

6:16am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Happy Birthday to me then, that very day.

I remember how, just before I turned forty years of age, I told myself 'No big deal, nothing much will have changed that day next week.' That was 08 September 2001…

6:21am (((Murakami Whywolf):

You led-off with "O Superman" on that birthday of mine; you later said you'd forgot its 'Here comes the planes'.

🚽

6:23am -Ken:

I remember that show well..

6:33am (Murakami Whywolf))):

In typical, selfish, fashion: parts of my life were already in ruins that year, so the national disaster and anticipation that it would lead to fascism felt right at home.

7:04am cory:

hmmm, "Back in 9 months." must start spreading the rumour that Ken is pregnant and had to leave town to prevent shame.

🚽

7:28am -Ken:

Maternity Leave it is then.

7:29am cory:

it's good to know that Andy isn't shooting blanks

7:55am FԏFԏ (:

Hello, Mr Ken, Murakami, cory!

The 9 months hiatus clearly indicates a gestation period. Ken will be re-born again and, who knows, maybe he will comeback as a Barenaked Ladies new believer! Cross your fingers, cory!

7:56am cory:

8:02am AnAnonymousParty:

GM all, my next grandkid is due on 9/11, we're counting off the days now.

8:17am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Requests: Can, EARLY Pink Floyd, King Crimson (Early, Live please).

8:38am fred:

Ken, I can't listen from work, but I'm wearing my "ass kicking freeform radio!" shirt today

🚽

8:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm hearing the HazMat report on Wak n Bake. Will that continue or will it also go on haiatus? Those mobile meth labs aren't going to report themselves (or will they?).

🚽

8:47am -Ken:

Hazmat Report shall continue!

🚽

8:48am -Ken:

Thanks Fred, you can wear it inside out also. Unlike most shirts..

8:51am Listener Robert:

I forgot it was Wed.! Tuned in just in time for HazMat.

Cross yourself, blare the trumpet, and dance! Don't struggle over that taxi, there'll be another along soon. Blow your smoke into outer space, an keep dancing! It may cost you a fin, but it's electric even in bed! Protesting won't do anything, nor will crabbing about it, because the galaxy does not revolve around your spindle.

8:55am Listener Robert:

Yes, Murakami, so much can happen in 9 months...on a wakeboard.

9:01am queems:

all hail hazmat

🚽

9:01am Ken From Hyde Park:

No!

9:01am Sem:

Want lightning bolts coming out of my forearms.

9:01am Linda Lee:

'morning Ken! time to luxuriate.

9:02am Sebastian:

hey, Ken! what a nice surprise, I thought last weeks show was already the last one before the break!

9:02am zzm:

omg, all gif pre-loaded don't have to listen the show live!

🚽

9:02am Beast of Boonton:

Ascii Art

9:02am Lizardner Dave Somethingorother:

It's going to be two weeks of Ken's greatest hits. Perhaps with a hit of Grove's Emulsified Nose drops? And Elakeliaset?

9:03am Sem:

Strokin'.

9:03am Lixiviated Life:

Sic semper tyrannis

9:04am Sebastian:

requesting the Ken allstars: khlam, tuchus, kensluts, eläkeläiset...

9:04am zopa:

SMK, are you typing your letter of resignation?

9:04am Nick S.:

Good morning, Ken! Great to be here for your last show for a while. - Larry

9:05am Sem:

Sic semper hyannisport.

9:05am queems:

yakety sax for a full hour

9:05am Linda Lee:

9:05am melinda:

I like this Alvarius B and Cerberus S

9:05am Sebastian:

love the eli wallach gif

9:05am DroneTree:

Nice. Never heard this before.

🚽

9:05am Webhamster Henry:

The typing is synching with the gif once in a while!

🚽

9:06am -Ken:

Thanks Nick, morning all - next week will be my last show until my first fill-in on October 1, for Surface Noise.

9:07am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Have a good break Ken. Hope it is not directly health-related.

9:07am Linda Lee:

eli wallach neglects the holy ghost. crucial omission.

9:09am Nulsh:

Howdy! I'm still here for a change.

9:09am DroneTree:

What label is this on?

9:09am maestroso:

G'morning Ken!
I get chills when the harmonies kick in in this tune.

9:09am Nick S.:

Oh, cool! Good to know you will broadcast next week. Good times!-Larry

🚽

9:09am ifeelfatnsassy:

Label = North East Indie (I just was looking this up)

9:10am Linda Lee:

you're in for a treat, Nulsh!

9:10am Lixiviated Life:

"Nomeni patri et fili spiritus sancti"

9:11am Sebastian:

so it's really just the pen-penultimate show, all the better!

9:11am Linda Lee:

nomei patri et fili et patri et fili et patri et fili..

🚽

9:12am Beast of Boonton:

Olena Uutai cameo?

🚽

9:12am ifeelfatnsassy:

Ken - yours is my favorite show on all of WFMU. As it happens, as of a month ago I started a 10 month sabbatical while my partner is in a fellowship at the University of Michigan. We'll be getting back into the swing of things next year together. I was looking forward to being grounded every Wednesday with strange and unsettling music like this, but alas, it's just going to be a weird 9 months. Enjoy your time!

9:13am Nick S.:

This is almost Roches good and that's great.

9:13am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Who has carrot cake?

9:13am Sebastian:

that sounds like a bikelophone there in the background

9:13am FԏFԏ (:

Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.

9:14am zzm:

I found Ken's has been the most uplifting listening show of fmu programs. really. come back sooon.

9:14am DroneTree:

Thanks @ifeelfat

9:14am Linda Lee:

bikelophone! something new to love! thank you!

9:15am Lixiviated Life:

LL
Your Latin is on point.
FULL MARKS

9:16am Linda Lee:

aside of the initial lazy misspelling! thanks. not my latin so much; i was raised roman catholic :-)

9:16am Vincent Nifigance:

Ken will be departing to embark upon an epic GIF harvesting quest, spanning continents and oceans untold.

9:18am zopa:

RTD: Naturally.

9:19am Nulsh:

I'm impressed thus far Linda Lee!

9:21am Henry in Hopatcong:

Happy hump day, Ken and everyone!

9:21am Laura L:

Hi Ken--I will miss you! We'll all look forward to celebrating your return with a Baby Animal after your 9-month gestation-period/maternity leave.

🚽

9:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

Very nice. A special number going out to those fine people toiling away in Crazytown this morning, pulling ill-constructed letters off desks and such.

9:22am FԏFԏ (:

Reveries!!! The human centipede band! What I mean is that each member of the band...Well, it's so easy to explaoin I'll let Ken spell it out to everybody!

9:22am Linda Lee:

love the idea of an equal opportunity rubber face.

9:24am Okasa:

Wow! Have a nice break, Ken!

9:24am Sam:

I would fill that mouth with water and let the cats drink out of it

9:25am Linda Lee:

what a great idea! :-D

9:25am Lixiviated Life:

LL Yet another thing we have in common, (Roman Catholic not the rubber face)

🚽

9:26am AnAnonymousParty:

I'm crazy for listening to this version of Crazy.

🚽

9:26am Webhamster Henry:

Reichel!

9:27am Linda Lee:

both would be fairly amusing. :-)

9:27am Sebastian:

this is great!

9:28am jcksck:

this one's getting the arms swingin' this AM. good stuff.

9:29am Linda Lee:

i'd be tempted to explore its surrealist potential. the intended purpose? meh.

9:29am mb:

Good morning to all. Enjoy your hiatus station manager Ken.

9:32am Goyim in the AM:

The late great Hans Reichel. I wonder where all his weird guitars are now.

9:33am scoobert doobert:

Good morning all! Greetings from Toronto, hoping WFMU will get me through another dreary work day!

9:34am FԏFԏ (:

Go, Ken, Go! Interrupt this Albrechtsberger song with back announcing! We know someone out there hates it so much!

9:34am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@LL-I think the GIF just cuts that part out?

9:35am jess:

I'll miss your odd little show Ken

9:36am FԏFԏ (:

Ken has to go just the month before celebrating 10 years of listening to his show! Thanks for nothing, KEN!!!

9:37am Linda Lee:

@Wild Neil ~ for shame!

9:38am (((Murakami Whywolf):

When, roughly, is the Hazmat Report? Though I bow to Ken's superior wisdom as to what makes good radio, for me personally, Mr Pigeon's voice, like those of Hugh Hefner and Milo Miles, makes me feel like I've been dipped in an oil slick so I can't listen to his show long.

9:40am ɛɨk:

@MW, I'm right there with you (but only first thing in the morning for me, for some reason).

9:40am peapod ross:

is that a sex robot mouth? Can you just buy that part if you can't afford the rest? That's fucking creepy.

🚽

9:40am -Ken:

Hazmat Report is 839am on Wednesdays

9:41am peapod ross:

I'm suspicious of anyone who would keep just a torso around for sex. even a fake one.

9:41am cory:

perfect tempo match

9:43am Nick S.:

Lotta mouth stuff goin on today. Is it a secret hint, Ken?

9:43am Sebastian:

Tjupurru!

9:44am Aaron Working In Newark:

Excellent

9:44am Colleen:

Im diggin this!

9:45am Linda Lee:

@peapod ross ~ just a rubber sex face. no robot. agree on the torso bit. but apparently we do see people as parts, sexually. that sorta myopia is big business.

9:46am Sebastian:

don't get that comp, though, made that mistake, Tjupurru is the only interesting thing on there

9:47am ⓘⓚⓔ:

But did they get the dingos to PAY for the wall? (Sorry, too obvious?)

9:47am Kärleksliv:

In addition to the Rabbit-Proof Fence?!

9:48am Roberto:

Let's be clear: she never suggested the dingo ate her baby. The dingo merely took her. For all we know the dingo had tea with the baby. And then ate her.

9:48am peapod ross:

@LL I like to think I see the whole woman even if focus mostly on the tits

9:49am Linda Lee:

well sure!

9:49am Wild Neil||Peace All:

My wife is 47 but she looks 37. She is a miracle of creation!

9:49am peapod ross:

rubber sex face - can you imagine kissing just a chin and mouth and nothing else? how would you hold it up? on a stick? would you put it on a ventriloquist dummy maybe?

9:50am Linda Lee:

don't think that one is about kissing primarily.

9:51am peapod ross:

hm. well, you're probably right there.

🚽

9:51am AnAnonymousParty:

The dingo took the baby and raised it as if it were its own, and taught it to eat babies.

9:51am peapod ross:

probably to help you get peanut butter out of your ear or something.

9:51am Roberto:

My wife is 51! What do I win?

🚽

9:52am yippie:

lets have some thekenschlampen and go out with a bang

9:52am Linda Lee:

i like Sam's cat bowl idea, myself. :-D

🚽

9:52am Beast of Boonton:

like a 'Resusci-Anne' CPR doll

9:53am peapod ross:

oh ahahha yes, that's good.

🚽

9:54am AnAnonymousParty:

If you pour cream in that mouth thingy, will it end up making butter?

9:54am βrian:

Well, this is a nice entrée for a Wednesday morning. Good morning.

9:55am rsj:

that cerberus shoal saved me earlier looking for parking in bk

9:56am βrian:

Is that supposed to be a variation on a Kitchen-Aid, for mixing cake batter, etc?

9:56am Linda Lee:

@AnAnonymous Party ~ yes, with a weird aftertaste.

9:57am peapod ross:

and that aftertaste is "lonely cum"

9:57am peapod ross:

gross. I should be banned.

9:58am Linda Lee:

you said it. i didn't. :-D

9:58am TonyR:

WhatWhatWHAT? Ken is on on-air sabbatical???

9:59am Linda Lee:

not yet, TonyR. soon.

9:59am Asheville Jon:

any chance we can hear Dr. Bootygrabber, or an extended version of Corn Weenie today Ken?

9:59am TonyR:

Sadz.

9:59am jaysit:

Laurice!

10:00am Wild Neil||Peace All:

In Toronto they have a sex doll brothel now. Yuk. Who gets to clean up THAT mess?
@peapod-yeah, that is REALLY gross. Ew!
And all the talk about eating babies, that is really gross.

10:00am Roberto:

Screaming goat, please report to Ken's comment board. K thx.

10:00am Linda Lee:

tell me about it. i'm already bleedin'.

10:00am TonyR:

He has an announcement on the 6AM shift?

10:00am βrian:

If we hear Dr Bootygrabber, we have to hear the screaming goat alarm.

10:01am Roberto:

Right on cue!

🚽

10:02am Ken From Hyde Park:

Who's going to maintain the goat alarm during Ken's break?

10:03am Dave from Brooklyn:

Ken,you're the undisputed master of fabulously freaky fun filled music!

10:03am Linda Lee:

@Wild Neil ~ talk about a money maker! i'm surprised it's new..

10:03am Linda Lee:

@TonyR ~ announcement was last week, i believe.

10:04am Buddha of Suburbia:

Hi folks

10:04am TonyR:

TY, LindaLee

10:04am ɨkɛ:

It's so generous of Station Dictator Ken to bench himself for 9 months for The Long Rally! All hail Station Dictator Ken's grand generosity!

10:05am Nulsh:

Buddha! You escaped the dregs?

10:06am Linda Lee:

don't tell us you're still at the dmv, please.

10:06am Asheville Jon:

ah yes, the good Captain!

10:07am Linda Lee:

just about time. hi Jon! :-)

10:09am peapod ross:

that light pole is great.

10:09am Asheville Jon:

hey LL, how's it going?

10:11am Linda Lee:

not bad. how 'bout you?

10:11am Linda Lee:

there's a nostalgic image right there .. :-D

10:12am FԏFԏ (:

Don't you worry about that, TonyR! I have devised a perfect plan for preventing Ken from leaving us. I will deploy it next week!

10:14am Roberto:

I got the DMV visit out of the way last week. It wasn't great but it wasn't horrible either. I have to say I feel sorry for the folks who work there having to deal with dimwits all day long. I'd get a lot crankier than they do if I had to do that.

10:14am Asheville Jon:

busy, busy, busy. i shouldn't be here, but it's hard not to be when i'm catching up on computer work

10:14am Linda Lee:

i know. :-)

10:14am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Linda Lee-its kinda like owning vs renting I suppose.
This Zappa works well with the Gifs you have chosen, Ken! ESPECIALLY the throbbing utiility pole.

10:14am Sebastian:

does that plan by any chance involve a claw hammer, FoFo?

10:15am Sebastian:

because I have one of those lying around, just collecting dust

10:15am Linda Lee:

@Wild Neil ~ but exactly.

10:16am Asheville Jon:

america is wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! wonderful!
it really makes it

10:20am FԏFԏ (:

Sebastian,

Leave the hammer for the 'Break In case Bob Dylan dies' box hanging in some wall in the WFMU building. Alternatively, it can also be used to annihilate, wipe out, obliterate, wipe off the face of the earth, eliminate, eradicate, liquidate, finish off or erase any Mariah Carey's material found in the WFMU library.

10:20am kuba:

@wild neil: throbbing pole = hateplow.tumblr.com... his other stuff is worth checking out

10:21am FԏFԏ (:

Fake lyrics song! I met a Greek woman yesterday and she was neither lusty nor powerful.

🚽

10:21am -Ken:

All I can say is that if Neil Young or Bob Dylan kicks the bucket during my maternity leave, I am gonna be PISSED.

10:22am Buddha of Suburbia:

Klezmer Funkadelic!

10:22am Linda Lee:

so this passes for 'love' .. :-D

10:23am Sebastian:

I would think there's a hammer attached to that box?! Anyway, I could also supply a chisel!

10:23am FԏFԏ (:

Ken,

Well, Neil Young might pass away after just marrying Daryl Hannah last week! That woman is a bomb in bed (I heard)!

10:23am Linda Lee:

-Ken ~ sufficient material resources enable the extension of life beyond any natural limit. have no fear.

10:23am zopa:

You call this a cheese shop?!!

10:24am βrian:

Maternity leave? Ken, are you having a Baby Animal??

10:25am Sebastian:

who's that handsome priest btw?

10:25am Linda Lee:

that's Montgomery Clift!

10:25am Sebastian:

merci, Linda!

10:25am Asheville Jon:

cheddar? don't have much call for it around these parts.

10:26am queems:

i feel this song

10:26am Buddha of Suburbia:

One minute you've got Jewish wedding on acid and then you've got Indian or Egyptian dance music! Traveling the world with Ken Day!

🚽

10:26am Webhamster Henry:

Set Myself On Fire is an oldie but goodie!

10:27am Linda Lee:

10:27am Lixiviated Life:

"Shoot his right profile"

10:27am Irwin:

I first heard this Annababoula song at Ken's wedding. The band performed it live.

10:27am Buddha of Suburbia:

Love your show! You will be missed. Hi ya Linda Lee. I sent you something on FB private message.

10:27am queems:

i’d rather set myself on fire than do any work today

10:27am Sebastian:

I'll check that one out

10:28am Linda Lee:

thanks love. been busy investigating rubber sex faces. the answer to my appearance problem may be at hand, so to speak.

10:29am Colleen:

This is got

10:29am Linda Lee:

@Irwin ~ that had to be wonderful.

10:29am Colleen:

No no no..... this is HOT!

10:29am FԏFԏ (:

I knew this song was popular at funerals of the immolated people but I did not know it was also popular at weddings!

10:30am melinda:

Digging the show today, glad you will be doing a fill-in next week before you go on leave Ken.

10:30am PMD:

So weird to listen on the radio!

10:31am Linda Lee:

i'd like to know if David ate his noodle soup out of a sex face.

10:31am Rob (Jerzcity):

MISOPHONIA TRIGGERED

10:32am Patty D:

Souper sexy background music.

10:33am Buddha of Suburbia:

Rubber Sex Face, love it.

10:34am Buddha of Suburbia:

Speaking of someone knowledgeable with everything related to music, hello Melinda!

10:34am peapod ross:

lol @LL

10:34am Linda Lee:

not sure about the color though.

10:35am Linda Lee:

adriene's show sounds wonderful. high hopes!

10:35am peapod ross:

fuck the new schedule with a rubber sex face ken. and I think you know why. I say this out of love.

10:36am queems:

i’m going to desperately miss bob brainen on saturday mornings

10:36am Nulsh:

Linda Lee, yer' spot on. This show is great. Nice one Ken!

10:36am steveo:

first day of school (in nyc), last day of ken. we are happy for ken and sad for ourselves (except for the crosby part, we're glad we may never hear this again)

10:37am Buddha of Suburbia:

This part really "sucks"...

10:37am Asheville Jon:

sweet! my kids are gonna love a saturday morning kids show. they already LOVE GARBAGE TIME, so another excuse to have FMU on (which is pretty constant already) is great

10:37am steveo:

oh right the fill-in. but that will be different because you'll be a little nervous and not used to deejaying

10:37am peapod ross:

david crosby mustache hairs in his soup, spits them into his spoon, he eats them back up again

10:38am Buddha of Suburbia:

I think I have misophonia!

🚽

10:38am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm not getting ASMR vibes here.

10:38am zopa:

Ken from HP: You're not doing it right...

10:39am Linda Lee:

that's not a very nice image, peapod.

10:39am peapod ross:

I'm just kidding about the new schedule. change is good. like when metallica cut their hair short.

10:39am jess:

what's a face?

10:40am melinda:

hi Buddha! my musical ignorance is vast, though
@queems me too. But I'm excited about Amanda and Roger's show.

10:40am Lewis:

the more you know, the more you know you don't know...

10:40am peapod ross:

could be worse Linda. you should hear my poem atitled "David Crosby tastes the cookie batter and it doesn't suit him so he puts more sugar in and uses the same spoon but its covered in his mustache hair".

10:40am FԏFԏ (:

KEEEN! You scared me there with that Mariah artist. For a moment I thought it was the oth...Nevermind.

10:41am melinda:

Lord Birthday!

10:42am Wild Neil||Peace All:

My God, Lord Birthday can be hilarious as you know what!

10:42am Linda Lee:

holy salmonella, peapod ross! i may postpone breakfast even further & go wash my imagination.

10:42am jess:

sex face?

🚽

10:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

Curious about Amanda and Roger's new show? They did a fill-in this summer: www.wfmu.org...

🚽

10:42am JtotheK:

enjoy the break Ken! i'll be tuning in to long rally, though i have my doubts that "strokin' " will work its way into regular rotation on the program.

10:43am peapod ross:

yeah, I'm even grossing myself out today.

10:43am Fuzzy:

That "How To Be More Optimistic" is like a forgotten Inflatable Boy Clams song.

10:44am Asheville Jon:

awww, how quaint. this song was recorded next to a cracklin' campfire!

10:45am Roberto:

Smells like shite, but you've got to admite...

10:46am Roberto:

I heart Lord Birthday.

10:47am Linda Lee:

something tells me that's a real accomplishment :-D

10:50am RomanDogBird:

i just saw the wicker man last week! recognized this immediately

10:50am Linda Lee:

on that boy there was a man? did i hear right?

10:50am northguineahills:

Magnet! WICKERMAN!!!!

10:51am Nulsh:

That wee tree gif is great!

10:51am northguineahills:

I'll turn my voice down now....

10:51am Sebastian:

is the remake of this with Nick Cage any fun, as in so bad it's fun?

10:51am Rob (Jerzcity):

ole roll the rattlin' bog

10:52am Nulsh:

Ah cool! Cellular!

10:52am northguineahills:

*voice turned back up* ISB!!!!

🚽

10:53am Webhamster Henry:

A nice segue! You could play Minotaur for Kurt Gottschalk.

10:54am northguineahills:

(this ISB track gives me tears)

10:54am zopa:

SMK... Jesus loves YOU the best.

10:54am Asheville Jon:

Jesus Loves Me (But He Can't Stand You!)

10:54am melinda:

Really great version of I Bid You Goodnight

10:55am Linda Lee:

he'll have to fight me for it, zopa.

10:55am Nulsh:

We sung this at my mate Pudsey's funeral. Could barely hold it together. Was his favourite.

10:56am Linda Lee:

that is lovely, Nulsh.

10:57am northguineahills:

(i courted my wife w/ this song)

"amoebas are very small!"

10:58am northguineahills:

damn, Nulsh, much love!

11:02am Nulsh:

Amoebas are indeed very small! Was a few years back northguineahills he would have laughed at us sat there with guitars trying to sing with tears pouring. I still really miss the grumpy wee spud.

11:05am northguineahills:

I don't know very many lyrics, but I could sing this by heart to my now wife, long distance, She loved it. (back to long distance due to work).

11:05am Linda Lee:

takes just about as long to lose someone as it takes to love them, Nulsh. sorry.

11:06am Linda Lee:

dear god it's Kim Fowley! scream out, goatie!

11:06am Roberto:

I don't think the goat can scream loudly enough for this one.

11:07am peapod ross:

i didn't have to google kim fowley very hard to figure all of that out.

11:07am Sebastian:

mmmmh, chicken

11:07am melinda:

In the absence of the goat alarm I guess DJs will just have to let out scream at appropriate moments.

11:07am peapod ross:

They always veer away. I hate hurricanes. They're such teases.

11:10am peapod ross:

is getting skirted anything like getting pantsed?

11:11am βrian:

We once had Billy Beer. Why not Billy Jeans?

11:11am steveo:

the lie becomes the truth

11:11am Jeff Moore:

Wow, that monologue toward the end of the Kim Fowley piece sounded a lot like Sandra Bernhard.

11:11am Lewis:

and boy did it go BAD... (wunderground that is (they got bought by The Weather Channel and is has been rapid decent into horribleness since))

11:11am Linda Lee:

Irene sure didn't skirt. nor did Sandy.

11:11am steveo:

billie jean always gives me mad chills, any version

11:12am Sam:

The skirt has a much larger radius when it splays out. Pantsed only happens in very close proximity.

@Sam: I got a direct hit by Irene last year in FL. (two trees fell over onto my driveway, I evacuated beforehand). (the name Irene wasn't retired, apparently, got hit by the other Irene in NYC)

11:13am Linda Lee:

i find this very funny.

11:13am yippie:

shake rattle and roll sung by al Bernard is a great song, teaches a lot of good lessons about race in the afterlife

Evacuate the skeletons on the wall first! Skeletons are terrible swimmers.

Irene Trudel would never hit you.

Who did that version of Heroes?

11:16am Linda Lee:

rockabye baby, i do believe.

11:16am Roberto:

Boy Clams' "Sorry" song has to be the best apology song of all time.

That was Rockabye Baby doing "Heroes."

German fun fact of the day: "Scham" can also be used as a general description of the crotch area for both men and women

11:21am βrian:

So was "Sandy" thought to be a male name, or female?

11:22am Dean:

That map is confusing. If Alaska is "worst" at suicide, does that mean more Alaskans per capita commit suicide or fail at it? Is Utah's lapse in porn usage due to over- or under-consumption?

11:22am FԏFԏ (:

Ken,

You'll be required to fill out this mental health assessment form once a month during your 9 months hiatus. It is just to verify if everything is ok with you.

11:22am Lizardner Dave Somethingorother:

Minnesota is the "worst" at tornadoes? Really?

11:22am Mister Dobalina:

@βrian - That's exactly who came to mind when I first read that comment. Funny.

11:22am Linda Lee:

mine's 15 minutes through a state park. fine here too.

11:23am Sam:

Funny, Kansas has the poorest health, but Georgia is the most sickly. We gotta get those two together!! Build a bullet train between 'em.

11:23am peapod ross:

"worst" at drug use is a matter of perspective.

11:23am Colleen:

Yes!!!!!

11:24am Carmichael:

Aloha Ken und Leuten.

11:24am Sam:

Minnesota tornadoes suck. They have no idea what they're doing up there. But Oklahoma tornadoes? Mwwwah!

Good question, βrian. Hurricane name genders alternate Here is the list for 2012: Alberto, Beryl, Chris, Debby, Ernesto, Florence, Gordon, Helene, Isaac, Joyce, Kirk, Leslie, Michael, Nadine, Oscar, Patty, Rafael, Sandy, Tony, Valerie, William

11:25am Mister Dobalina:

Just tuned in but what's this? 9 months without Ken? He's not serving time is he?

11:25am GingerbeardMan:

Worst at binge drinking?!? i think we're pretty good at it

11:25am Sam:

We should just alternate between Donald and Vladimir for hurricane names.

11:26am Phillippe Bastille:

He couldn't get along with management

11:26am βrian:

Tornadoes for MN? That can't be right.

11:26am Sebastian:

I wonder if the trumpet bear eats the dude that comes in late in the gif, or if they just hang out and are good friends - that clip is not from that Werner Herzog film, is it?

11:26am Sam:

Brian, right, they're terrible at tornadoes.

11:27am kuba:

sebastian: the pan & jumpcut certainly looks herzogian

11:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

Ugliest residents is a subjective quality. I wonder which state has the lowest WFMU listenership?

11:27am Linda Lee:

@Sebastian ~ i'd say not. man does not appear to be simpering.

11:27am Sam:

You can tell the way the bear moves towards the man that he's about to get devoured

11:28am Sebastian:

hehe

11:28am βrian:

That would probably correlate to the worst internet infrastructure.

11:29am Phillippe Bastille:

@kfhp based on my time spent on the panhandle, I'd say Alabama

11:30am Carmichael:

Ken, you perhaps should have played a Richard Thompson song to the bear devouring the guy.

11:30am Linda Lee:

@Sam ~ i'd say he's just about to shove that horn up the guy's tuchus.

11:33am AnAnonymousParty:

The bear was playing a Maynard Ferguson tune, approaching the big finish and moved closer to the man so he'd be able to more clearly hear the bear almost, but not quite, hit the high note in true Maynard Ferguson fashion.

11:34am Sam:

Is there a similar map for Canada?

11:34am -Ken:

What's the Richard Thompson Eating You to Death Song again?

11:35am Lixiviated Life:

the bear missed the train and now he's walking.

Ken,

Richard Thompson – The May Queen?

Any ideas on how to fill the three-hours a week gap Ken's leaving until June 2019 (bejesus!)? I still do not know what the heck I will do.

11:49am FԏFԏ (:

Linda Lee,

Yes, this Theme from Midnight Cowboy cover is sublime. One of my favourite songs ever! Discovered thanks to Ken! Thanks, Keno!

11:49am Linda Lee:

i do not recommend driving while huffing exhaust fumes. just don't do it.

11:50am Asheville Jon:

i agree LL, only drive while huffing paint!

11:51am Linda Lee:

absolutely. mine too. also lived in that new york city ~ which is not today's version. so the film has a certain meaning for me, narrative aside.

11:52am Linda Lee:

really helps to be wearing your rubber sex face, imo.

11:52am PMD:

I need to hear how Ken described the show! Do t know what I’m in for

11:53am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Sebastian:
Not that I approve of the fact, but a technical term for the externally visible portions of the genitals, 'pudenda' 'pudendum', also literally means 'shameful'. Since German has a _long_ history with Latin, the German „scham“ might be a direct borrowing/translation.

Nothing like the old McKinley bridge in St. Louis, where you could see the river through the potholes in the pavement on the bridge deck.

11:54am Linda Lee:

goddamn! no thanks. ever.

🚽

11:54am yippie:

the bridge to Atlantic City used to be so rickety that that all kids had to get off school bus let bus cross then kids walk across bridge and get back on the bus

11:54am Andrew Waterloo:

The Mackinac where you can just look down through the metal grate.

Right folks gotta boogie. Some great listening right there. TTFN!

11:57am AnAnonymousParty:

@Andrew, I think the McKinley was the same kind of design, big thick metal grate, then somebody got the idea to pave it over with asphalt, that would just end up breaking up and falling through the grate.
