Finger Poppin' (Part of the) TIme: Ken's show

Listener comments!

9:02am λɯəɹəɾ:

he said lexicon

9:03am Cheri Pi:

He said it. Hey Ken, I bet your soul wax pals would love to mash Iced Honey with Azz Everywhere.

9:03am Cheri Pi:

I AM NOT SPERMLESS!!!

9:04am Dan B From Upstate:

Yeah, I think this is the perfect christmas gift to give to someone I don't like but I still have to buy a christmas gift for due to some sort of awful social pressures placed on us.

9:04am glenn:

christ on a skateboard. make it stop.

9:04am Ken:

Cheri, you are too. You're spermless, like a girl.

Jeremy, what did he rhyme with Lexicon?

9:05am Cheri Pi:

You know those French men who talk through a song with a nice vibe in the background (Melody Nelson and the like) I think this is what Lou was going for.

9:06am Mark:

this actually got a positive review in the new issue of The Wire

9:06am Brian C.:

Dreams do come true! Been waiting for some more Lulu. I guess this is a "bad" cut? Hmm, not sure if "good" or "bad" applies to this. Pretty sure "Awesome" does!

9:06am ?:

I want to hear Barbara Streisand and Sepultura

9:07am glenn:

well, mexican would be the obvious choice for a rhyme.

9:07am Ken:

I LIKE it!!

9:08am lee:

poor Lou

9:08am Marmalade Kitty:

oops..?!

9:09am moose:

i see him often at the dog run, lou reed- now i'll only think of 'spermless like a girl'

9:09am Mark:

you should get the audio of Loutallica playing "White Heat/White Light"

9:10am λɯəɹəɾ:

i had too google the lyrics because i didn't recall. he used lexicon in the middle of a line, not the end, thus making it not rhyme capable at the moment of execution.

but Mexican or even better, mexicon, would be a good rhyming partner imho.

9:12am Mark:

The Return Of Pipecock Jackson has been reissued by Honest Jon

9:14am Cheri Pi:

I've got Pipecock on order! Can't wait

9:14am Mark:

I'm gonna get it too

9:18am jan:

Ken, reporting from Amtrak NY to Baltimore- the station keeps dropping out! Signal is good now, thankfully, because I bought headphones specially for the ride !

9:18am glenn:

so... the return of the return of pipecock jackxon?

9:20am Cheri Pi:

I hear that Lee Perry burned down the Ark because of the coming of LuLu.

9:20am Robert:

Jan, this is the time of year, especially in the morning, when VHF & UHF tend to bend more around the curve of the Earth.

9:20am Mark:

"Originally released in 1980, this album is the final work to emerge from the BlackArk studio, before its permanent destruction."

9:23am yayson:

just tuned in, is this the 18-sec song show? i really like 18-sec songs, perfect for my attention span.

9:27am Ken:

Sorry Yayson, last week was the 18 second show. Today I'm playing only sings with a duration of 4:47. Requests?

9:28am Gavin:

9:29am AnAnonymousParty:

9:31am hamburger:

9:33am Andrew:

Or that CSI guy.

9:34am pgw in mntclr:

Since he's in Dr. Jacoby's gang, it's probably Doogie

9:34am still b/p:

West Side Salon. Some of those Jets actors were required to lighten their hair for shooting the picture, for a more pronounced contrast with the Sharks.

9:35am Dan B From Upstate:

We only see his face from the side. He MUST be Beavis.

9:35am Michele:

Yes! Tonetta! I was waiting for this.

9:37am Gavin:

9:39am trish:

'scary'?
'a bit'?
Tomato tomato

9:40am Cecile:

9:41am Cecile:

9:47am Gavin:

Dance of the Dream Man from the Twin Peaks Soundtrack???
Surely Dr. Jacoby at the bottom of your page has been telling you...

9:53am Vicki:

Snap Your Fingers by Bobby Jonz

9:54am Cecile:

9:55am jet girl:

"figertips pt. 2" by stevie wonder.

9:56am still b/p:

Peggy Lee's Fever...except it suffers already from overexposure.

9:56am slugluv1313:

10:00am BSI:

oh Freddy, poor poor Freddy.... Your hair was the source of your power...

10:01am Ken:

Great suggestions, thanks!

10:01am paul:

did you mean to play "under pressure"? same album, and more snapping. but this song is sillier.

10:01am jonathan:

thank you

10:01am Cecile:

does Killer Joe by Benny Golson start with finger snaps.

This Queen song is a hair better than I remembered it.

10:02am Cecile:

BSI, what are the odds of us both being hair-obsessed at the same time?

10:02am (~_^) fofo [:

Good morning everyone!
Snap your Finger, Snap your Neck by Prong?

10:03am oh snap:

"finger snap" by them concrete boyz.

10:03am pgw in mntclr:

"Body Language" probably isn't Brian May's favorite Queen song

10:04am slugluv1313:

Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife"

10:04am Cecile:

nice, ken. Still so sexy after all these years.
Don't hate me, but while I love the original, but I love this more.

10:05am lee:

hildegard knef's version of fever

10:05am Barney:

I keep picturing Rita Moreno & Animal doing Fever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yvHWyvexZA

10:05am Vicki:

sorry - another of mine - it samples Fever!
Dancing In The Carmen by People Like Us and Ergo Phizmiz from "Rhapsody in Glue"

10:05am BSI:

@Cecile: I just got here, did I miss some zesty hair obsession? In Freddy Mercury's case, it's a no-brainer. In my humble. When the hair went, so went the magic(k).

10:06am (~_^) fofo [:

Ooo, Rhapsody in Glue (♥_♥)

10:07am BSI:

Oh hell, for finger-snapping, hit up SNAKEFINGER. Lots of choices. "Here Comes The Bums" from the Chewing Hides the Sound LP comes to mind.

10:07am (~_^) fofo [:

oh, nice played Ken! (^-^)b

10:08am Aaron in JCity:

Prong - really?? What no beg to differ???

10:08am Cecile:

I said something was "a hair better" right after.

Freddie's hair was kinda short for News of the World, and there was good stuff there. And I think while Another One Bites the Dust isn't good Queen, it's a great song.

BSI, how can I forget that one? Classic.

10:09am Gavin:

probably anything by Mike Patton??? Especially from Fantomas' Director's Cut album.

10:09am Cecile:

Beatnik Party by Snakefinger also has great snapping.

10:10am Cecile:

wow, a Prong song I kinda like.

10:11am Randy in NC:

WFMU, All finger snapping, all the time!

10:13am Aaron in JCity:

Boom Snap Clap - andrew Moore - http://youtu.be/W1l4ubrzOJE

10:14am Cecile:

Okay, I know there is a Rapture that was a black-metal band, and The Rapture who were a dark dance group, is this another The Rapture?

10:15am Randy in NC:

@Mark in DC - Yes!

10:15am Cecile:

This sounds like really good house/techo with a gospel feel.

10:15am Cecile:

MARK- RIGHT ANSWER! This!!!!

10:18am Cecile:

wow, it is the same Rapture. wow.

10:19am Andrea on the M62:

10:26am Cecile:

And you can snap your fingers to it.

10:27am Mark:

sounds like some snapping and cracking on the record itself

10:28am dc pat:

I've never been comfortable with finger snapping...

10:28am Lizardner Dave:

10:40am Cecile:

ahhhhhh, Sanna.from Hedningarna such a great singer and performer.

10:41am Carmichael:

How come nobody mentioned Finger Poppin' Time by Hank Ballard & the Midnighters? I figgered it was the obvious choice.

10:42am dc pat:

clearly Huxley's methods are a lot more effective...

10:47am BSI:

.....i can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies....

10:48am holland oats:

10:57am hamburger:

10:57am dc pat:

That was amazing. Time to buy it.

10:58am Cecile:

I love Cher.

10:59am Mark:

bsi was seconding cecile

10:59am BSI:

Cecile gets credit for the Hedningarna suggestion. I'm just a coat-tail rider thing.

10:59am Cecile:

11:00am (~_^) fofo:

11:07am holland oats:

11:08am (~_^) fofo:

*sighing*

11:09am Cecile:

Ken, you seriously need to check out Korpiklaani.
They call themselves "hummpa-metal" and they sing about drinking homemade rotgut on barren Finnish potato farms and killing missionaries as they disembark from their boats.

11:09am Dan B From Upstate:

I love this song more every time I hear it.

11:11am Mark:

the down side of black metal is always the vocals

11:12am Cecile:

some bands have great vocals even if they are growly. I always liked Opeth's. And Lamb of God's actually used to be pretty good.

11:13am Robert:

Death metal always sounds to me like someone vomiting or about to vomit.

11:13am (~_^) fofo:

Cecile,

They sound like dissidents coming from Elakaleiset.

11:13am russ tamblyn:

fire walk with me.

11:14am Richard from Venezuela:

Sigh rocks.

Greetings Ken and all the listeners.

11:14am Cecile:

Yes, Robert. Or the Cookie Monster, I've heard that.

LOL, fofo.

11:14am Ricardo Montalban:

screemo lessons:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVKYBG7YKZ0

11:14am (~_^) fofo:

Oh, yeah. Lamb of God. (♥_♥)

But to hearing them live (>_<)

11:15am Ricardo Montalban:

the emergency alert system is the original human mic check

11:15am Cecile:

yes, fofo. Horrible live band. They don't even get what makes their records great - ie basic instrument separation and no clowinng.

11:16am OM:

had this been a real emergency YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW

11:16am Cecile:

they could take some lessons from Kylesa or Mastodon.

11:16am Mark:

try 3 asterisks for the password that always works for me

11:16am Jenniqua:

Ken - can we make your rant about the password be the emergency broadcast message? I'd rather listen to that when the world goes to hell.

11:17am Robert:

Do cookie monsters vomit frequently?

11:17am Dan B From Upstate:

You could play the DirecTV EAS song. Didn't they play "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga?

11:18am Cookie Monsters:

When we puke, it's just cookie dough again. No problem.

11:18am (~_^) fofo:

***

(that's a big LOL for Mark on that one)

11:19am Cecile:

the dude from Immortal sounds like Popeye. I love it.

11:21am Cecile:

well, my search for the great English rapper continues...

11:22am (~_^) fofo:

Cecile,
Why you relate to Popeye/Olive Oil? I still don't get the connection. Is it like an inside joke? o_O

11:22am Robert:

I've got a Little Golden 78 of Jack Mercer (the usul voice of Popeye) singling "I'm Popeye The Silor Man".

11:23am (~_^) fofo:

Cecile,

Google Eminem.

You are welcome.

11:24am Robert:

Too many crumbs under my "a' key?

11:24am Mark:

(Eminem is English???)

11:24am Cecile:

No, I love Popeye and Olive Oyl. Popeye is awesome, "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam."

LOLOLOLOL! *wipes eyes* No, I mean like London English. The English version of someone like Irish rapper RiRa. You know, good.

11:25am AnAnonymousParty:

Van Halen had a clause in their contract that there could be no brown Eminems in their dressing room.

11:28am Cookie Monsters:

Hey, are those the Eminems with nuts inside?

11:29am dc pat:

fortunately there aren't any brown Eminems

11:29am (~_^) fofo:

Cecile, Hmm...An English version of the Real IRA. Sounds interesting. Do you have any other lead?

11:30am Mark:

Those Eminems with pretzels inside suck

11:31am ?:

professor elemental

11:31am Cecile:

I like the eminems with coconut.

11:32am (~_^) fofo:

Oh, guys, don't mock Eminem. You know? Marshall Matters.

11:32am ??:

professor elemental = steam rap

11:33am BSI:

groovy hoots.
Needs me some Doo Rag now.

11:33am Cecile:

yes, Marshal Mathers with coconut inside.

11:33am Brown Eminems:

We were almost the opening act for Van Halen. Stupid laywers.

11:33am Mark:

I gotta go for Eminems with peanuts

11:34am dc pat:

I'm with BSI, or Bob Log II or Bloodshot Bill (who I saw last night and he ruled)

11:34am Van Halen:

@Brown Eminems: Might as well Jump!

11:51am AnAnonymousParty:

Somehow I've always suspected in a real emergency that would trigger a national EAS alert, we'd hear the EAS tones and then silence as the EMP takes out every non-hardened electronic device.

11:52am seang:

everything you dream of is right in front of you

11:52am Ken:

Sorry everybody. The password is reversecowgirl63 - That got the ole EAS unit humming allright!

Wow, hadn't heard this Mats in awhile - tank you

11:53am Butthead:

heh heh heh non-hardened hehheh heh heh

11:54am coelacanth:

more...reverse cowgirl.

11:54am Reality Check:

EAS is a 1950s setup that just can't be made relevant to seurity problems that would occur now. But people somewhere are getting paid government salaries and bennies to work on it and oversee it, so it will never die.

11:54am #workfare:

hey @sainsburys "live well for less" like on thin air when you are on #workfare? SLAVE DRIVERS - I WONT BUY FROM YOU!

11:56am (~_^) fofo:

Government salaries. Hmm...Sounds interesting. Here in the UK it's called taxpayer's money.

11:57am BW:

Hey ken I'm
Listening to you on the tube!

11:57am Reality Check:

It's taxpayer money here too, but only we can set we free.

11:58am russ tamblyn:

11:59am trish:

I imagine a day when solar/wind emerg networks + wireless will negate the need for the bleat bleat.
Voices + brains > bleats
