Cthulu and the Horsehead: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:10am -Ken:

Mornin' folks.

6:14am Jack Tourette:

Good morning Ken. I love the molting snake GTBtPOtSB!

♥ 7:01am -Ken:

Yeah Jack, isnt the snake incredible? You think it's real? It looks too good to be true.

7:14am Jack Tourette:

Some snakes must shed that easily; I've seen nearly whole discarded snake skins in the woods.

♥ 8:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm calling fake on the snake GIF. The old skin should turn inside out as it comes off.

♥ 8:29am -Ken:

Ken from HP, even I know THAT doesn't happen.

8:30am Listener Robert:

Well, Ken & Ken, if synovial sheaths work like that, why not snake skin?

8:32am Listener Robert:

Does "-Ken" mean THAT Ken is negative? Somebody else register "Ken" 1st?

♥ 8:33am -Ken:

Yes Robert, "Ken" was taken!

8:47am cory:

mornin', going out for a smoke. brb

♥ 8:49am Marcel M:

Morning Ken and friends.

Good Afternoon from Helsinki!

♥ 9:05am Marcel M:

Damn Neil, where have ya been?

♥ 9:07am -Ken:

Yes Neil, the station moved while nobody was looking! Talk about a surprise! That was in August 1998. I will never forget the look on Irwin's face!

9:09am Neil, Wild:

I remember sitting in a farmer's field in rural NJ trying to tune you guys in in the 1980's...at night....so exotic back then! Now you are on the interweb and my phone. WOW, man, the colors~!

9:09am thedunkel:

Morning ken! Morning fellow listeners! Morning gifs!

♥ 9:10am -Ken:

Hello Helsinki!

9:10am Neil, Wild:

♥ 9:13am Marcel M:

@Neil: Well, welcome back! Good to have ya.

9:13am Neil, Wild:

9:14am Neil, Wild:

Thanks Cory! Its good to be back...

♥ 9:14am MD:

Good Morning My friends!

♥ 9:14am -Ken:

You lucked out Neil - that was the period when we were playing nothing but remixes of "Caravan."

♥ 9:14am Bronwyn Bishop:

The Horse Flies are great! They're from here in Ithaca. I interviewed them once for our school paper. The fiddle player, Judy, is the daughter of Dick Hyman.

♥ 9:14am MD:

and you too ken!

♥ 9:15am MD:

as the kids say...LOL!!!

9:17am Chris M.:

i had the most harrowing missed-my-show nightmare ever last night. relieved to see Ken's show is on unless i slept for an entire week in which case i am so sorry.

♥ 9:18am -Ken:

It's cool Chris, I dont mind being on two mornings in a row. Hope you are OK. I just have to reschedule all my Thursday meetings but its cool.

♥ 9:18am Andrew Waterloo:

@Chris M. one time I got home early from work, wasn't feeling well, fell asleep on the couch, woke up at 5am think it was 5pm the next day.

9:19am Chris M.:

oh god

9:20am famous original sugarwolf:

Sorry, Chris M. It is next week

♥ 9:21am -Ken:

How did everybody like Wednesday Night Football last night? It was a great game.

9:21am cory:

ken, can you fit in negativland's "car bomb" before 10:30?

9:22am cory:

there were ballfeet last night?

♥ 9:22am Roberto:

I went downstairs for only a few minutes. How are we on the 6th song of the morning already?

9:23am bobdoesthings:

goood morningg

9:25am P-90:

Good Morning Ken and all The Kentertained, world-wide. "Cthulu and the Horsehead" might be a decent name for a band.

9:25am bobdoesthings:

oh man my friend sent me this song that is being sampled this week..

9:25am Brendan:

Out here it gets late early

9:26am bobdoesthings:

sample for this song: www.youtube.com...

♥ 9:28am -Ken:

Damn straight P90! That's an amazing band name.

9:29am cory:

rube waddell is a great band name. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FIRETRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 9:30am Bronwyn Bishop:

Daughter of Dick Hyman, Ken! Daughter!

♥ 9:31am Bronwyn Bishop:

Arrington de Dionyso is the best!

♥ 9:32am People Like Us:

morning/afternoon

9:33am Listener Robert:

Objective scoring for Dead Air Chicken.

♥ 9:33am Marcel M:

Lets test the sensor!

9:33am Neil, Wild:

The recording engineer guy in 24 hour party people used to go record silence...

♥ 9:33am People Like Us:

can we listen to all three at once?

9:33am thedunkel:

lets listen to chinchilias

9:33am Mark S:

test

♥ 9:33am Bronwyn Bishop:

I vote for Fat Freddy

♥ 9:33am Roberto:

I can't possibly choose.

♥ 9:33am egal:

The bandicoot was robbed.

9:34am djelrock:

Pig Noises!!

♥ 9:34am AnAnonymousParty:

It's a silence silencer?

9:34am Brendan:

You can accurately detect silence. It has certain smell.

♥ 9:34am Ken From Hyde Park:

Pig noises, please.

♥ 9:34am Murakami Whywolf:

Satan sucks, but you're the best!

♥ 9:34am People Like Us:

what about whispering videos?

9:34am Neil, Wild:

Please test the sensor! I am so psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:34am mosquito:

Oink please

9:34am Ërb:

silence censor

9:34am Neil, Wild:

Oink.

♥ 9:35am People Like Us:

the first broadcast I ever did on the radio in 1990 made the transmitter go down because I played something too quiet

9:35am cory:

satan sucks well

9:35am Mark S:

what is supposed to happen

9:35am Neil, Wild:

We're going back in time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 9:35am AnAnonymousParty:

Ben Franklin!

♥ 9:37am Bronwyn Bishop:

I love this song!!! I played it once on my show at school and the girls who came after me, who do a Disney show, were deeply confused.

♥ 9:37am MD:

I LOVE THE CAVEMEN!!!

9:37am Brendan:

They are not mutually exclusive because the silence sensor has a bug whereby it can detect neither pig noises nor Fat Freddie so my votes for all three.

♥ 9:38am MD:

RIDING DINOSAURS AROUND ABOUT 5000 YEARS AGO!!!

♥ 9:38am MD:

sorry I thought I was Ben Carson for a moment!!!

9:41am Brendan:

Is that Howard Dean doing the pig scream?

♥ 9:49am Asheville Jon:

Ken, if you read this, let me know if you want me to get that radio advertising sign i emailed you about. I replied, but have not hearc back from you. :( I've been sitting by my email, waiting patiently for a response.

9:51am cory:

OHHHHHHH I WATCHED THIS ONE!!!

♥ 9:51am Bronwyn Bishop:

Cool cover!

♥ 9:51am -Ken:

Sorry Jon - I was conflicted.. I would love that sign for the station and I would happily pay you back but I realize what a pain in the butt it is to ship something like that so I didnt want to ask.

9:52am cee:

hoping to hear the cocktail bar song again this week

♥ 9:52am Asheville Jon:

I ship stuff for my job, so it's really not a big deal at all.
I'll go there tomorrow and see if it's still there.

♥ 9:53am -Ken:

Cool beans Jon, thank you! I myself have shipping anxiety.

♥ 9:56am Asheville Jon:

You're welcome, no problem.
I wish you the best with your shipping anxiety!

♥ 9:56am Asheville Jon:

Does someone offer professional help for that? Like FedEx or UPS? Maybe they have some counseling services available?

♥ 9:57am Vivian:

Good Morning! Enjoying the show with sun on my back.

♥ 9:58am Ken From Hyde Park:

Happy Veterans Day. Thanks to those who kept the bad guys at bay.

9:59am cory:

ken, when are you going out for your ciggy and apple?

♥ 10:00am People Like Us:

you need to play Glen Meadmore after this

♥ 10:02am People Like Us:

same lyrical style but VERY different

♥ 10:02am -Ken:

Apple at 10:30. Havent smoked in a month!

♥ 10:04am AnAnonymousParty:

But, will it blend?

10:04am cory:

@People Like Us, just listened to one of your OTEs last night. great job! you had the middle set and played with Izzy Isnt. the threeway was great too

10:04am Corporal H:

@Ken, isn't USA the bad guy?

10:05am Brendan:

Do you put the apple on your head whilst smoking?

♥ 10:06am People Like Us:

yes, I was on a number of OTEs - maybe 10-15 - many shows I spent at least an hour collaborating down the phone with Don

♥ 10:06am Irwin:

Ella is Sexton's wife.

10:07am cory:

i'm going to have to start going through your shows after i finish another ufo

10:08am ?:

Schlager is not the same as Volkslied. Schlager is the term for german language pop music, whereas Volkslied is a genuine traditional tune. Volksmusik is something different again, a horrifying popified mutation of "traditional" german music

♥ 10:08am Marcel M:

Good lord... are you going to make sure the publicists and or lobbyists are funny first?

10:09am Hot Mess:

Tonight are gun lobbyists allowed to carry?

♥ 10:09am Ken From Hyde Park:

Donald Trump's people should call in tonight. Or maybe not, actually.

♥ 10:11am -Ken:

Marcel did you say "funny?" This is Seven Second Delay we're talking about.

10:12am cory:

@ppl, do you happen to have a list of your appearances on OTE?

10:14am JakeGould:

I just had a customer service nightmare with a company that screwed p the shipping address to an order of mine, but it seems to be solved now and it wasn’t funny so there you go.

♥ 10:15am People Like Us:

@cory - here are around 15ish

♥ 10:16am Marcel M:

@Ken: Oh ... right... carry on!

10:16am cory:

groovy!!! thanks for the work playlist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:17am Hot Mess:

JakeG so glad it all worked out! all my prayers to you and your family.

10:17am cory:

yesh, the OTE in concert show was the one i was talking about. so flipping good.

10:18am JakeGould:

They claim their system didn’t screw up the order but I have evidence that I can show on “People’s Court” to confirm they did. When will the nightmare end!

10:18am Hot Mess:

Use it as an opportunity for growth.

♥ 10:18am People Like Us:

there is a video of that too, Cory - which I only just discovered

10:19am cory:

oh fuck

10:19am cory:

the live show or the rehearsal?

10:19am JakeGould:

@HotMess: I look at it as reason to switch vendors. But I need this order for now. We’ll get through this!

♥ 10:23am People Like Us:

the live show, Cory - it's here - vimeo.com...

10:26am cory:

thank you so much People Like Us

10:27am bobdoesthings:

10:27am bobdoesthings:

im tellin mom!!!

10:28am cory:

tattle-tail

♥ 10:28am MD:

THIS STUFF IS FREAKING ME OUT! thanks ken!

♥ 10:30am -Ken:

Snitches get lead Bob.

10:31am bobdoesthings:

that's not how that goes ken!

10:32am Nick from Indy:

Escape from NOISE!!!

10:32am cory:

hehehe, my wife loves this song. it's the last one she gets before going to work

♥ 10:33am Marcel M:

Its a good song to leave to work to.

♥ 10:33am Bronwyn Bishop:

Yay Negativland!

10:34am cory:

oh my, i'm not the only hoosier that digs negativland?

10:36am Nick from Indy:

@cory, we are the Silent Majority in Indiana

♥ 10:37am Asheville Jon:

Yes, Ken, you did say "Wednesday Morning Time Zone"

10:38am Brendan:

Chinch is tasty

10:38am Nick from Indy:

I heard "Wednesday Morning Twilight Zone"

♥ 10:39am People Like Us:

I sincerely hope you spend the rest of the show talking only about chinchillas

♥ 10:40am Marcel M:

That Jay Z line, "my texture is that of a Chinchilla" just popped into my head... what a weird line. Can't remember what he rhymes texture with..

10:42am Hot Mess:

And the prez of Costa Rica is a Chinchilla. Thx, Wkpedia

10:42am JakeGould:

“What have we learned Charlie Brown?” youtu.be...

10:43am Brendan:

Chinch ranching is good , honest salt of the earth work. You'll know when you done 8 hours of that, brother.

10:44am P-90:

There seems to have been a spike in interest in sitar sounds among the FMU staff and listeners lately. I approve.

10:44am bobdoesthings:

oh Joanna just put out a new album right? any good? for those who are fans

10:45am the Canterbury wood-elf:

Wow, she's aged!

♥ 10:45am -Ken:

oh great, now the short tailed chinchilla community is harassing me. Jesus Christ. I wasn't judging!

♥ 10:46am -Ken:

Bobdoesthings, this song just happens to be from this new album you speak of!

♥ 10:47am Marcel M:

Good luck with the short hair chinchilla community Ken, off to work. Maybe a short haired chinchilla lobbyist will call tonight?

10:48am cory:

ken plays bluegrass? neato!

♥ 10:48am Rob W:

Well cory, I think somebody's watching the Leftovers!

♥ 10:49am -Ken:

Those fucking short haired chinch people are lunatics. Im gonna have to change my phone number.

10:50am cory:

@rob, that sounds like a weird tv show

♥ 10:50am egal:

Check your long haired chinchilla privilege.

10:51am cory:

is it a better version of left behind?

♥ 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park:

At first, I was worried that chinchillas may have a short life span. I was relieved to discover they can live ten years or more, which seems good for a little rodent.

♥ 10:51am Rob W:

Cory, The Leftovers is the feel-bad television event of the decade!

10:54am cory:

is it worth a watch? or just an interesting time killer? i've kinda given up on tv for long-form audio (better visuals)

♥ 10:56am Rob W:

Actually I take that back - Black Mirror probably beats out the Leftovers in that category, but the Leftovers = the feel-bad US TV event of the moment! And the Iris Dement song they're using in the credits this season, which Ken played, is a brilliant choice. As for watching... the trick is, you really need to watch more than one episode. I didn't fall for it at first but it's very powerful and will pull you in over time. Also season 2 arguably is better than the first season.

♥ 10:56am -Ken:

Yeah I love it Cory but Rob is right - it's f'in bleak. You gotta start at the beginning of the series. It's sorta kinda based on The Rapture but it's nothing like the Left Behind shit.

10:56am cory:

(i'm youtube sharing 'speak to me' and the as was for amirtrade)

10:57am cory:

two seasons? i need to start paying more attention to tv

♥ 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

@-Ken - How was the apple?

11:00am Mark S:

the cat is digging this

11:01am cory:

sounds like it was a very good apple

♥ 11:03am -Ken:

Oh man, it was such a good apple.

♥ 11:04am Rob W:

Sorry to backtrack but last thing I promise, I'm heading out! But I shouldn't say season 2 is better - but you have to make it to the middle of season 1 of the Leftovers, that's when it really starts to kick in. But cory, you are strong for not watching TV, more power to you! And I have no comment on the apple. Good day!

11:06am cory:

rob, you're a weirdo. have a great day dude!!

11:07am cory:

i'll give is shot after work tonight. if it's on the "net"

11:08am bobdoesthings:

I do that all the time!! especially with cat litter.. toss in a bag.. out in the hallway.. YAY! my apt smells good. FUCK THE WORLD!

11:11am P-90:

Nice dramatic lead-in to the legal ID. Show 'em how it's done Ken.

♥ 11:14am dale:

i tuned in during that joanna newsom song and thought it was kate bush singing 'wow'

11:15am cory:

i would have gone with darling nikki, but i'm very cliche

11:16am cory:

dale, are you a kitchen manager in the NW US?

♥ 11:16am dale:

when will someone do a ray stevens cover called 'sitarzan?'

♥ 11:17am dale:

no, but i'm making a big pot of bean soup as we speak

11:20am cory:

ah ok, had a roomie with the same name. was wondering

11:21am P-90:

Thanks for NOT going with "Darling Nikki."

11:27am rw:

This is New Order? Can't say I'm liking it so much. Sorry to just jump in here and post a negative comment. Probably should just keep my mouth shut.

11:28am Mark S:

don't be sorry you're right it does suck

11:29am Hot Mess:

rw, you get points for using punctuation.

11:29am rw:

Enjoying the rest of the show though!

11:29am oks:

"stray dog" is pretty good song

♥ 11:29am -Ken:

That's OK rw, I dont take it personally. It does sound extremely corporate.

11:29am cee:

wow this steel drum band

11:30am Neil, Wild:

NICE Segway!

11:30am Mark S:

now this is good

11:30am ga01:

LOL

11:30am drewo:

Was that New Order? And someone had to bitch about it. What a surprise.

Love the show Ken. And love the New Order too.

11:32am cee:

vid of steel harmony: www.youtube.com...

♥ 11:32am Mick:

Amazing version of this! Great transition from the questionable New Order...

11:33am bobdoesthings:

@cee -thanks!!!

11:38am cee:

i feel cocktail bar coming on soon

11:39am Sam:

You were working as a waitress in a hurricane

♥ 11:40am People Like Us:

that much is true

11:41am Sam:

Reminds me of Weird Al's "Polkas on 45" - he crams 45 songs into one rollicking polka

♥ 11:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

Stars on 45 did something like this in the 80s.

11:44am Sam:

Oh, that's probably what Weird Al was parodying.

♥ 11:45am cosmic matrix:

this is a sucky remix

11:45am bobdoesthings:

hahaha

♥ 11:45am cosmic matrix:

oh i get it. ha ha!

♥ 11:46am cosmic matrix:

actually this took a lot of work.

♥ 11:46am Vivian:

Oh no, now this song will be running in my head for the rest of the day..

♥ 11:46am jjz:

Ah, this is a favorite, Workin' in a Cocktail Bar.

11:46am WaveyDavey:

I wonder what she does for a living now.

♥ 11:46am Tim 07030:

Anyone want to go get a cocktail?

11:46am Sam:

Yeah, this one is brutal for taking up residence in your brain

11:48am WaveyDavey:

Ken's been spazzing on the editor again. I like.

11:48am BobbyF:

I think this is one of the best slow-burn funny songs I ever heard. Well done, Ken!

♥ 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'd love to be at a dance place and see the reaction when this gets played. They'd be so confused!

♥ 11:49am jjz:

Hm. This would be a pretty entertaining candidate for the Infinite Jukebox. labs.echonest.com...

11:49am Sam:

Ken from HP - I bet a lot of people wouldn't even notice!

11:49am bobdoesthings:

wishing there was a corn weeny cocktail bar... with cocktail corn weenies

11:50am BobbyF:

This is my new favourite track of all time. Someone direct me to the 10 hour loop.

♥ 11:50am Jeff:

Wait, no - it can't be baby animal time yet! That means It's later than I thought (again)!

11:51am Sam:

Ah, the theme song, the most beautiful sound ever......

11:52am Sam:

How about making this the new theme song for Seven Second Delay?

♥ 11:53am Ted Leonard:

What's that squeaky toy? May I have it now?

11:54am Sam:

The evil Trump clown version

11:55am bobdoesthings:

haha great show,, many thanks ken

11:56am P-90:

That much...
That much...
That much...
...

♥ 11:56am Vivian:

You forgot Loverboy..

11:56am oks:

KEN!! THANK YOU!!!

11:57am oks:

i miss Khlam...

♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park:

Also, Amanda Nazario and her scenario on the Drummer stream. Have a good week, -Ken.
