I don't detest Neil Young as much as I used to...what's happening to me??????????
9:05am
The GB Kid:
Goodmorning Ken. Goodmorning everyone.
9:06am
Lizardner Dave:
Saw Neil last night. Not loud enough and the "new MSG" has shitty concert sight lines if you have tickets on the side of the stage. The band played well, however.
Yair Yona - Yes, sort of! I got her late again due to unbelieveable post-Sandy traffic. Not as late as last time but yeah!! More long songs please! 5 minutes or more!!!
9:13am
Christina:
Normally whistling is a dealbreaker for me but I dint even mind it here!
@Ken - I'd love it if you could put Rush's 'Power Windows' album (1985) in its entirely. it will buy you some time.
9:14am
Vicki:
Yay! Gooooaaaaal!

So great to hear Ken again after 7 weeks without FMU...far too long...
9:30am
DJ Fancy Feast:
Ken, were you making fun of the Velvet Underground? Sacrilege! Like Pussy Riot throwing feces at Saint Vitus!
9:30am
Cheri Pi:
No RUSH!!!!!!
9:30am
Unctuous Rancid Dwarfman:
GB kid, not sure what i'd have that would be worthy of a trade for that.
9:31am
DJ Fancy Feast:
But congratulations on making the goal, heretic or no!

Hurry up and don't Rush.

GB Kid, i have an autographed copy (cassette) of John Ashcroft singing gospel music. good trade fodder?
9:47am

what is that puppet image from?
9:48am
KP:
Pierre, making Belock wag his tail. They can't take that away from me.
Hi Common! I dont know, but listen everybody!! Common was the ONLY PERSON who offered to come to my house to deal with my destroyed records and stuff, post hurricane. You rock Common!
9:49am

Common!

Great Quote from the NY Times review of the fiilm about Ginger BakerAnd now, in his 70s, Mr. Baker is hardly in a mood for classic-rock nostalgia. “That was the birth of heavy metal,” he says of the Cream years. “It should have been aborted.”
Sam - Yes, we are. It may take a while, but we get started on February 1st. Cant wait!
9:56am
G:
@Sam: At that elevation, maybe it would make a good swimming pool for Busby Berkeley musical numbers.
9:56am

That's freakin great Ken!

@Dwarfman - shoot me an email it's randomtally @ gmail - I'll cover all the postage and stuff.. one of the perks of running the shipping dept at work
9:58am
F▣F▣:
Wait! What happened to SAY CHEESE Mr Dr Bootygrabber?!
9:59am
Andrew Waterloo:
Ginger Baker did the baker's dozen (an artist's favourite 13 albums) on Quietus, reviewed a couple Jazz albums then had a series of albums he played on. For most of the Cream albums he complained about Jack Bruce's loudness.
9:59am
Sam:
Ooh lucky me I have a blind date with a doctor! Hey wait a minute, what kinda doctor are you mister?
Sucks to your assmar, dcp! Long songs as in 5 minuters this time.. not 12 minutes cuz it only took me 45 minutes to drive the 3 miles to FMU today.
10:26am
Dave B:
I find myself playing side one of ELP's Tarkus at my local watering hole just to annoy people. All for the cost of one song.
That and side one of 2112. And then I leave.

They are my husband's new favorite band.
10:36am
Caryn:
Ken, if you happen to have the second live album from Eläkeläiset, there's two over-5-minute tracks on it. The 10-30 minute tracks on their other albums go overboard on the length.

Was pleased with that cow photo Dave B posted, switch channels on the tv, only to see a farmer shoot a cow. That was a jarring transition...
10:43am

hey, play some bulgarian pipes! :)
10:43am
Lucy:
I don't remember... I just know there's lots of jumpin around and pointing yer toes.
10:44am
Caryn:
Twirl, Ann Miller, twirl! I'd like to point out she is doing that with a broken back (her drunk abusive husband threw her down the stairs, and she did the whole movie with a back brace holding her back together).
10:45am
Dave B:
@tsveti - will bulgarian accordion do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BK5579YQXs

That first fanfare was used in We're All Bozos On This Bus. Which would make for a great bathroom break some time.

Wow, my show made its goal too!! Thank you so much everybody!!

Dave B--I could see getting totally plastered and then going to one of their shows. That would be killer. Say, how come nobody uses Irish pipes these days? Too hard to learn I guess...
10:54am
still b/p:
Was there no Ken pig-kissing, head-shaving, hula-in-Grand-Central kind of bet for goal-reaching?
10:56am
KP:
The difference with Irish pipes is you can drink while playing them. I heard Finbar Furey say that.
10:57am
Caryn:
Now I'm just wondering why the Norwegian goths were singing in German? Especially on one of their Early Modern English albums? Then again, at least they weren't still called La Reine Noir, or there would've been one more language to deal with.
10:58am
dcp@:
KP: you are so right...
10:58am
Mark:
the cookie monster is getting down!
10:58am
Caryn:
@KP: well, yeah, because you can play them with one hand while using your legs on the bag. With the Scottish bagpipes you need both hands.
10:59am
Jeff:
Yeah, Ken, I see your point. Cookie Monster is so metal.
10:59am
G:
Wow, I see Pooh worshipping Dr Bootygrabber on his throne, flanked by two members of his harem. Dr Bootygrabber is a god in PlayaHiney Boodyhism
10:59am

Patrick has got the knack of advertising with that flyer.
11:02am
jan:
Cookie monster good; Elmo, trouble plenty
11:02am
Caryn:
Is the C the cookie is full of cocaine? Crack? Judging by Cookie Monster's constant munchies, I'm guessing the C is for Cannabis.
11:04am
Elmo:
This segment sponsored by the letter C, for Craigslist.

pronoucing"saor" "shore" is also OK

Yay for the Residents!
11:14am
Caryn:
@Robert: true enough. Poor Scottish pipers and Italian Zampogna players. Can't have a drink while playing. Can't have a conversation. (Not that you could have much of a conversation with the sound of the pipes drowning you out anyway, but theoretically...)
11:16am

Dan B From Upstate:
So many things are telling me I have to start watching Tim and Eric. David Liebe Hart is definitely among them.
11:20am
Ogilvy Mather:
The gif so nice he posted it twice
11:20am
Caryn:
That dancing, smoking girl in the lower photo looks uncannily like Grace Kelly. Unless that's a page from an old Hollywood scandal rag, and that's really supposed to be Kelly.
11:20am
Carl Stalling:
Thanks for the airplay
11:21am

@OM: Patrick is so good at advertising, he's giving Ken some money just to share his ad with the world.

Just one more foot? At present rates of global warming, that's like 17 years or so? Yikes!
11:35am
Eager Swag Recipient:
Congrats on making the goal! Question about the record fair dates: Wasn't it moved from the spring in the first place because the timing was causing some issues with post-marathon swag/prize mailings? What is the benefit of moving it from snow-free September to even earlier in the year?
11:36am
Webhamster Henry:
Did you see the pix of the Hoboken PATH Sandy damage? YOW!
Also don't forget about the KBOO benefit!
11:37am
F▣F▣:
Caryn,
Your supernatural skills to know the film origin of each the animated gifs kind of frightens me in the way a man is afraid of God. Not even Google has developed an effective image search.
11:39am
Honey Water:
@F▣F▣: Just FYI, you can see the URL of any image by putting your cursor over it. Often the source is evident in the address.
11:40am
Caryn:
@F▣F▣: I wouldn't call it supernatural. I think it's the same obsessive fandom that makes my father and brother spend hours debating the track orders of old rock albums. And I can't ID that puppet gif no matter how hard I try, and it's bugging me no end.
11:42am
Ike:
Congrats & thanks Ken.
So Verizon is laying new FiOS cable for your phones? Yeah, enjoy receiving tons of robo-calls, even using the same #s. Ah, unregulated VoIP! Vz is trying as hard as they can to neglect and dump all the copper so they don't have to follow regulations anymore.
11:42am
Andrew:
Ken, if the record fair is such a money spinner, shouldn't you do more of them?
11:43am
dcp@:
did this Roof stuff come before the Ex w/ Cora? Trying to figure out who influenced who..
11:43am
tim from champaign:
I've got an idea for a station benefit: Dr Bootygrabber's Petting Booth. Customers can either pet Dr. Bootygrabber or getting petted by Dr. Bootygrabber. Who can resist a cute kitty?
Andrew. the record fair is just too much work for us to do twice a year. It takes six months to put one together so by doing two a year, we'd be working on it all year round, which makes it way less profitable because it then eats so much staff time and pulls resources away from other things.
11:46am
Carmichael:
Oh Hi Ken! I was wandering by and noticed you playing music over there. Seems like everyone is having oodles of fun.
11:47am
still b/p:
The staler the stroopwafels, the more they enhance the powers.
11:47am
Andrew:
Damn it Ken, what was I thinking. Your a radio station, not a record shop!
11:48am
Dave B:
Caryn - I was thinking Hitchcock Presents but not seeing anything.
11:49am
Ricardo Montalban:
Ken's a human radio station! He's the tower, he's the dial, he's the transmitter, he's EVERY DOGGONE thing!
11:49am
just thinking:
Why don't you have Kenzo whip up an online site that offers a year-round virtual record fair?
11:49am
Caryn:
@sb/p: how very true. Sadly, all out of stroopwafels now. :(
@Dave B: yeah, I was on a Hitchcock/Twilight Zone/Outer Limits line first, but nah. And that looks like none of the old killer doll movies I know.

Oh, yes. I always forgot about the cursor over the image old trick. Very useful indeed.
That's a little preview of my exorcism tonight. please come out to the UCB show tonight if you can!
11:56am
Caryn:
You're not going to be naked, are you, Ken?
11:57am
PMD:
More importantly, Andy's not going to be naked is he?
11:58am

Once again thanks for a great show, Keno. Have a better exorcism tonight Keno! And remember to rotate your head!
11:58am
Robert:
The animation accompanying Sleep Train is very similar, but not identical to, a scene in a video I saw yrs. ago that was billed as the world's 1st Satanic pornie. It was at the MF Gallery, which at that time was on the Lower E. side.
11:59am
Caryn:
@PMD: that's my main concern too. Because if everyone involved gets naked, that would mean naked Andy too. And now I'm grateful I can't be at the UCB Theater, and can only listen on the radio.
