Mark:
Did you know that dumbass Terry Gross payed tribute to "legendary Strooges guitarist Ron Asheton" yesterday and then played Search and Destroy. What a maroon!
9:07am
Lizardner Dave:
Ron Asheton is dead, and Andy still hasn't responded to my friend request on Facebook. A sad start to 2009.
9:09am
Ken:
Mark, that's a classic NPR / New York Timesian mistake... like playing "Fool On The Hill" on the anniversary of John Lennon's death..
9:09am
annie:
i'm afraid to ask for friend status from fmu djays.. i joined the group! i did friend BW. i'd be okay friending larry.
9:11am
Ken:
I will friend you on Facebook - I am johndoe40.. but I am spending a lot more time on twitter these days - also Johndoe40 there. I like twitter amazingly enough. Didn;'t think I would.
9:12am
Bad Ronald:
Morning folks, it looks like that lady's forehead is taking a poop!
9:12am
Ken:
Also, dont mean to gross you all out, but I am suffering from the same malady as this poor woman.. I thought you all should know. Next time you see me, mention this thread and playlist and I will let you touch my horn.
9:13am
annie:
so now 's[;ain to me.. what is twitter? i have a friend who is addicted
9:13am
Ken:
And yes, I am speaking of the horn on my head. You people disgust me, you and your filthy filthy thoughts.
9:13am
Mark:
I know what you mean Ken. The stupidity made me cringe and wince.
9:14am
~L:
That's the grossest thing I've seen all morning.
9:15am
Vicki:
get rid of that woman! some people are trying to eat their lunch here!
9:15am
Ken:
In fact, Seven Second Delay is live at Maxwells tonight.. you can stroke my horn there.
9:17am
Bad Ronald:
That's OK Ken, you can toot your own horn...
9:17am
Parq:
Ken, we can discuss your horn at a later date, but I join those voting to change the image. I've had to resize the browser window so I could read the comments without losing my breakfast.

hey Ken, did Ron Asheton really call you and threaten to kill you? That's a badge of honor man..
9:20am
C:
I vote to keep it up! Enough from the hornists. She's beautiful.

How do you know Syd killed Nancy? I don't remember that there was a trial.

You sure showed HIM, Ken.

TEAR THAT SHIT UP KEN!!!!!!!!!
9:28am
Listener James from Westwood:
The electrocutionist resembles Klaus Nomi in profile (when he had his hair down, that is). The things these wacky countertenors do for thrills.
9:28am
Vicki:
maybe get a mac. you only have to wait 2 years for everything to work after every update comes out
9:30am
Parq:
So you're not going to be the new "Dell Guy", is that what you're trying to tell us?
9:31am
cribley:
fishmonkeystew: m-audio. I use the fast track pro.
Thanks for remembering Scott Asheton, from Ann Arbor to the Grande Ballroom and Eastown Theatre in Detroit where I honed my rock and roll ears to the Stooges and MC5 ... the aural sonic tradition continues on FMU, thanks to you and your legacy of almost getting offed by Scott for being the Punk DJ from hell in your early daze!
9:32am
Mark:
Flipper!
9:33am
Andy in Berlin:
Based on the pictures from your show from the lake, didn't you have a thinkpad before? Why didn't you just get another one of those?

Ron Asheton...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Fuckin' WHAAAAAAAAAA! whimper.....
9:34am

>The electrocutionist resembles Klaus Nomi in profile (when he had his hair down, that is). The things these wacky countertenors do for thrills.<
Yeah he sort of does. But they don't do it for thrills, that's how you hit those high notes.
9:34am
ted:
Ken, Sid recanted that he killed Nancy and there is plenty of evidence that someone else did it. There was no trial.
(But he was responsible for the anthrax)
9:34am
listener mark:
good morning ken
good morning everyone
9:36am
Mark:
Didn't this have a locked groove on the original 7"?
9:36am
Ken From Hyde Park:
I have a ThinkPad T60.
9:36am
fishmonkeystew:
Thanks, Cribley! I'm interested in trying to use my laptop as a multitrack recorder. Do you think this fits the bill (along with a mixer of course)?
9:36am
dc pat:
Lenovos are ok. Why can't you build a laptop like you can a desk top?
9:36am
Listener James from Westwood:
>Yeah he sort of does. But they don't do it for thrills, that's how you hit those high notes.
"Lightning is striking a-gain!" ZZZZZZZTTT!
9:37am

Brainwash!
9:37am
JCityJensen:
can you cut off the horn and use it for festive purposes?
9:37am
Ghengis Jung:
Ground loop?
9:38am
fishmonkeystew:
Hey Ken, could your noise be coming from a bad ground?
9:39am
Andy in Berlin:
that really sucks about the thinkpad particulalry as I am thinking about getting a new one. But my suggestion to you is to get a Zoom H2 and then record on that and just drag and drop. That's what I do most of the time now anyway.
9:40am
owen:
yes, that sounds like a ground loop i had in my set-up. try to make sure all the hardware connected (laptop, soundcard etc) is plugged into the same electricity socket.
if not, have you disabled the internal sound processor or tried updating the drivers?
have you tried hitting (butting, i think the verb would be?) it with a horn?
9:40am
Vicki:
the noise could also be to do with being on same powerstrip as a computer monitor
9:41am
Negator:
Your horn story sounds like "I love cake".
9:41am
?:
how about playing some music?
9:42am
Ken:
Hey "?" how about taking a mysterian or two and sticking your iPod where the sun don't shine?!
9:43am
jan:
Fascinating! what about case two?
9:44am
Lizardner Dave:
?, what Ken was doing there is what used to be known back in the old days as "radio". You should check it out sometime, it was a fascinating medium (and on WFMU, often still is).
9:45am
Bad Ronald:
Ken, your show is making me horny!
9:46am
Ken:
Thanks L. Dave - I sometime forget to remind people about the "radio thing."
9:46am
Cecile:
damn, missed Stooooooges.
9:48am
listener mark:
Is your horn magic ken? The dell laptop is bad magic .
9:50am
Ken:
I'm not sure if my horn is magic or not... but I never should've sawed it off because now it is growing back even bigger.
9:50am
Nora O'Jam:

Ugh.. so I have to come down... isn't is bad enough that my laptop is misbehaving? I have to have three assholes on the playlist also?
9:59am

Oh Jean, where have you been all my life? If only I had met you 30 years ago.
10:03am
Cecile:
Not Right or Loose, Ken, and thanks!
10:03am
Ken:
Yes folks, if you want to know why many DJs dont activate the comments section, this is the reason, right here, in action.
10:04am
Vicki:
I now have horned lady to look at, have minimised chat window instead...
HA HA HA
people who slag people off in chatrooms are cowardly losers.
10:05am
Cecile:
Also, Ken, if you could find it in your heart to play Tin Huey's Puppet Heads one of these days, that would be awesome.
10:05am
Neil:
Can't help but commenting that the awesome Wild Thing was covering, or at least heavily influenced, by the Hardly Worthit Players' Senator Bobby version of Wild Thing, a great cover in its own right. Double your fun.
10:06am

Hey her horn disappeared in the fisrt picture!

10:12am

Ken, it sounds like some loops of those Iroke Kayokyoku records is going on in the background. Maybe Ike Reiko or someone?
10:13am
Cecile:
Has anyone seen the book: "Grandma's Dead - breaking unpleasant news with baby animals"? This song reminds me of that...
10:14am
Greg from DC:
Great show Ken ... as usual ... sometimes we have to wait for the java to kick in, but not today! I think you need to ignore the naysayers who want to have "No Fun" this morning ... and just enjoy the day that offers something visually horny along side that which is sonically being offered!!
10:16am
Ken:
Thanks Greg - I can ignore the haters but my horn can not. I can't control what my horn makes me do.
10:17am

Listener James from Westwood:
I recall the female line of this cut ("Wish") from that "Run Lola Run" film, but can't recall if this mix was on the soundtrack released at the time.
10:21am

10:31am

Ken (or anyone) have you listened to all 8 hours of this boxed set?
10:40am
bb:

10:41am
Ken:
I haven't listened to the entire thing but Kenny G promised me he would play the entire thing today.
10:42am
Cecile:
Excellent.
10:43am
C:
Cool! I've jumped around a bit but have probably heard a good 4 hours. It's such a cool concept, hope they do more of them.
10:45am
Vivian:
Wonderful! Thank you Ken. Strange, I heard I Want to Be Your Dog on my Ipod yesterday before I found out about Ron. Spooky.
10:45am
Parq:
Since it's eight hours long and Kenny has only three hours, I assume he'll be playing it at x2.5 speed.
10:45am
JCityJensen:
hey Ken - do you have any of the Muldoons covering the Stooges?
10:47am

I wish I liked this kind of music more. Alas. Tramadol!

Elizabeth:
Coming in late to this, but Ken - the horns always grow back. Trust me. But still, getting them removed will afford you a small time of relief in which you can get your hair cut by a professional. I assume you are like me and cut your own hair because haircutters scream and cry when they discover horns, even if you've warned them beforehand.
