Hi there JJZ, it's just you and me and England today. And we are joined for the first time by Traktor 3, so prepare yourself for self indulgent noodling. I need to learn..
9:06am
uta:
sunny afternoon!!!
9:07am
JJZ:
Any new features we should be looking forward to? Or maybe I should just be surprised.
9:08am
PMD:
Got any anti-curry songs? Had a bad curry Mon. night and spent all day yesterday, well, .... youdon't want to know.
9:08am
Ken:
Yes, let's see how many you can identify! No pictures today, sorry about that! Next week though, I'll start posting slideshows hopefully.
9:10am
north guinea hills:
PMD, i was in your shoes last tuesday, except for the fact i made my own curry and found out that i was allergic to the curry i used. damn, did that suck!
9:11am
Parq:
Ken, while we're on the subject, what's that thingummy next to your "Ken's Other Playlists" link?
9:12am
jan:
Excellent. I just realized that this is Kensday morning, the best morning of the week
9:12am
fern:
They were filming the NEW & IMPROVED Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 in Astoria yeserday. I got a walk-on part (meaning I walked through a scene as they were filming). It's N&I 'cause Denzel Washington and John Travolta are in it. So it'll suck.
9:12am
JJZ:
I was looking at that. I was thinking that maybe I should get a Digg account finally so I can hit those buttons I always see.
9:12am
sugarwolf:
Parq, I was just about to ask that!
9:14am
England:
England would like a step by step demo of the new Traktor features, please
the eternal buzz brass band do a kickin' pelham cover.

9:20am
dlroth:
whhhhhaaaahhhhhhwooooo - Sweden!
there are only two movies to see - ever!
1) "The Naked Prey"
2) "No Blade of Grass"
ha ha ha ho ho ho he he he
9:20am
John from Oslo:
MMMMmmmmmm Hollywood, between two slices of rye and jarlsberg, yummy yummy yummy
9:22am
Parq:
My own prediction is that the new Pelham will suck, but even if it's okay, it won't have any of the original's impact, for all of its CGI wizardry. I'd comment on how Hollywood is out of ideas, but that itself would just be retread.
9:24am
Torbjorn:
Give waffle-peace a chance !
9:24am
Charles:
Good morning, Ken. Thanks again for the great radio. Yes, I fondly remember your Traktor training sessions of yesteryear, you and Scott inspired me to get a copy for my PC!
9:30am
Ken:
That Share thing is to allow you to share this playlist page on Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, etc. use it and use it often, for my show and any other FMU shows that have that share tool on them!
9:35am
Parq:
And if I use it, and select, say, Digg, what happens? Today's playlist gets posted as a Digg blog entry?
9:36am
uta:
Ken,, that metallic sound before, not the metal track,, was making DATA (my ext HD) sing.. is that another feature of the new traktor?

This set expresses the crap I went through this weekend.
9:45am
Dickdong (UK):
Hello Ken, Hello England on St George's Day and Shakespeare's birthday. My T shirt has arrived, thank you, it's rather smart.
9:46am
uta:
There it goes again..
9:50am
JJZ:
I'm reminded how when I watch DVDs on the train, I often like time compressing them.
9:50am
John from Oslo:
Ok, so Traktor, does reverb, echo, altered time signatures and sampled overdubs - now we want pitch-shift - ever excellent master didi-j-ken
9:53am
dei xhrist:
Fashionably late check-in form NH, sorry I wasn't here for the day's setting. Still haven't seen Naked Prey. My movie pusher hasn't manifested a copy yet. Haven't even seen Piano Tuner of Earthquakes and I am such a Quay hag.
9:55am
uta:
humm,,, time bending is my fav feature so far..
9:57am
JJZ:
It sounded pretty good. Smoother than I seem to recall Tatu being, but I might be misremembering.
9:59am
billyjam:
hey Ken, thanks for the Traktor trailer - whose speed slowing down feature is on my faves
9:59am
Ken:
And bad news on the tATu front! The movie has been renamed "You and I" instead of "Finding tATu!! How terrible is that!? And no to be released in the US till Spet 1 mow. Possibly straight to video...
10:03am
dei x:
I find the mashup/mockup Led Zep much stronger than the original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CO7FPU7a2g
10:03am
JJZ:
I prefer pancakes over waffles.
10:05am
lurdan:
I am eating a waffle. Although it is cold as toaster is busted.
10:05am
Tristram in Brooklyn:
Is it that they're still frozen?
10:06am
dei x:
obviously your pie-hole still works
10:06am
Dickdong:
I'm a waffle virgin - I've never had a waffle.
Mind you I don't think I want a waffle
10:06am
Listener David:
I cant have waffles this week...Passover
10:07am
Tristram in Brooklyn:
Or that Billy jam stole it as he still has the munchies after 4/20?
10:08am
lurdan:
yes. Frozen.
10:09am
Tristram in Brooklyn:
WFMU are so PC that they banned Microwaves?
10:11am
megan:
carly, the goth irish chick, sang "jesus christ superstar" on american idol last night, ken. it wasn't as good as your rendition of "heaven on their minds", but it was pretty good.
10:17am
John from Oslo:
Elakelaiset is playing in Essen Germany today, and Hamburg tomorrow, according to http://humppa.com/humppaenglish.html
10:19am
Doug:
Hey, this is sort of relevant to the Traktor conversation. Pretty amazing stuff. http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2008/04/echo-nest-website-that-turns-mp3s-into.html
10:19am
ross:
the only good thing about AI is after she sings some sappy song, they show her weirdo face tatooed husband in the audience...
10:20am
Negator:
Ken! Ken! Ken! Ken!
10:23am
Ken:
Wow, I couldn't figure out how to turn that thing off!
10:23am
ross:
hey! you guys just got a million clams, can't you buy a new cd player?
You can't eat your Waffle, because you gave it to the Hilary campaign, for a tax deduction?
10:44am
sugarwolf:
Baccara!!!!! YAY!
10:47am
dei x:
nihilist spasm band?
10:51am
Tristram in Brooklyn:
Is there a prize for guessing why Ken can't eat his Waffles?
10:53am
Webhamster Henry:
How about Traktoring some of the excellent versions of POPCORN that were posted in the blog?
http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/03/79_versions_of_.html
10:54am
Tristram in Brooklyn:
.....and if he"can't" eat his Waffles, does that mean he's willing to share?
10:56am
onken:
frenchbloke yes yes yes !!
10:58am
BillyJam:
hey Tristram in Bklyn - you already guessed right earlier and hence you win a prize which you can claim here on WFMU on Friday afternoon - Hellllloooo Waffle
10:58am
JJZ:
Maybe there should be a Traktoring of The Brown Whornet.
10:58am
dei x:
Ken, you "may" eat your waffle?
10:58am
mouth from the south:
Best thing FMU has done recently: add the "pause comment auto-update" feature for the blog.
10:59am
Dickdong:
Ken's unplugged the waffle maker to plug in his laptop, that's why he can't eat his waffle.
11:00am
Tristram in Brooklyn:
I did? Now I'm confused.....and I was having so much fun!
waffles are pancakes with syrup traps....i miss mitch hedberg :(
11:07am
Carmichael:
Good Left Coast morning, Kenneth and all. Randomly, I just received my dapper WFMU anniversary shirt. I wear with glee. I'm holding out on watching American Idol until Jeff Beck makes his triumphant comeback. Ken, what gave you the inspiration to play the Shangri-Las and Roxy Music back to back? And I missed Nina Simone again! Pancakes are the American breakfast dream, while waffles are a calculated totalitarian invention designed to lure teens into unprotected sex.
WAFF = communist
LES = torture
11:09am
dei x:
I would like to hear everyone in the studio come in an shoot Andy with rubber bands.
11:10am
uta:
too busy on the foreign policy to eat his waffles ...?
11:11am
Negator:
Waffles are Satan's way of destroying my diet first thing in the morning.
11:23am
ross:
i saw Bubbles the other day, he says "hello"...
11:24am
-max-:
We should arraign a screening of the tATU movie for all of the Kennesday morning regulars at Andy's swank screening room. And Beth can serve up some waffles.
11:25am
-max-:
Typo alert! Sorry.
11:26am
BeeHiver:
Why can't you eat your waffles? Secret service says no because they have all those damn cells. They've been determined (assumed) to be sleepers... tourist sleepers.
11:26am
Tristram in Brooklyn:
What you need Ken, is a relaxing game of Petanque, to quell your waffle fetish.
11:30am
Parq:
Why not leave our cake out in the rain?
11:31am
weiterso:
i need a ticket for Elakelaiset 26. in Berlin (soldout)!
11:32am
?:
Why not a throwing pie contest?
11:32am
JJZ:
Speaking of cake, people should play Portal. It's short, fun and cake-oriented.
11:40am
sahak:
is ice cream cake concerned cake? i think its just ice cream
11:41am
sahak:
considered...wow and i go to college
11:42am

Hobos like pie.
11:53am
Negator:

11:53am

11:54am
uta:

11:54am
sahak:

11:55am
uta:

11:55am
Parq:
Hearing the Floyd made me feel like I'm college age again - what a horrifying thought. Max, I also prefer pie.
11:57am
-max-:
We're all hobos on this bus!
12:00pm
Vicki:
This is my favourite loop ever
12:39pm
Ozzy Skateboard:
if you eat your waffle everything will get sticky
and that is a no no in the studio!
