Civilly disobedient ironing!

♥ 9:06am tim from champaign:

The phrase "corn weenie" is now part of my lexicon. I've used it several times in in the past week. It's a very useful and spot on for describing some people. Thanks, Hen!

♥ 9:06am tim from champaign:

oops I meant Ken not Hen. Sorry, Ken.

♥ 9:08am Caryn:

Happy May Day, all!

♥ 9:08am Ken:

9:15am Detroit Mac:

9:15am braveness23:

9:18am Pete from Boston (and NJ):

I liked this sped up.

9:18am Mark S:

I understand that The Melvins cover of "Station to Station" on their new one is quite good

9:18am dale:

9:19am Cheri Pi:

Heya Ken, heya not-Kens!

9:20am Dr. Goot:

Hah, thanks for the correction Caryn - www.youtube.com...

♥ 9:20am Caryn:

Ooh, 1950's "Destination Moon"! First serious look at moon travel!

9:20am braveness23:

CP, what about those of use who are sorta-Kens?

♥ 9:20am Ken:

Not sure Dale! But I love her, always have. Maybe getting nostalgiac for all my vinyl that got destroyed in hurricane sandy

9:21am dale:

9:22am the glowing one:

9:22am thedunkel:

9:27am f◈f◈ (:

Oh. Didn't know that Dave B that there was a Gif God.

9:28am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Is this the Khlam before the stürm?

9:28am giselle:

khlamouring for khlam!

9:28am Dave B:

Khlam's Casino

9:29am cptbob:

THE WRATH OF KHLAM!

♥ 9:29am Stevel:

KHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

[James T. Kirk}

9:29am Dave B:

Keep Khlam and Carry On.

♥ 9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...very late - but

- HAPPY BELTAINE - !!!

...will dispense w/ the bad jif joke - giffen the circumstances...

9:30am dale:

i like the three stooges where curly tries to eat the khlam soup and it keeps biting back

9:31am the glowing one:

oh, what a Khlamamity

9:31am dc waters:

It's your sinkhole de mayo.

♥ 9:31am tim from champaign:

Bryce can never catch a break.

9:31am f◈f◈ (:

Khlam you dig it?...

..Khlam you dig it?

KHLAAM YOU DIG IT!!!

9:31am Dan B From Upstate:

I like Khlam, Ken. Play more!

9:31am still b/p:

Red Skelton requests Khlam Kadiddlehopper!

9:32am Rev. Turnip Druid:

We have a winner! [dc waters]

♥ 9:32am jmd:

Just plug the sink hole with an old boiler.

♥ 9:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Pulp will do a song about us: the Klahmon People...

9:32am Michael:

Klassik Khlam! Thanks Ken!

9:32am amEdeo:

Red Snot Chilly Peepors.

♥ 9:33am Caryn:

Ken is not gonna khlam up on the Khlam.

9:33am w41:

mind-blowing jif

9:34am Mark S:

Khlam:

♥ 9:35am Caryn:

Somehow a folded Cheney looks less menacing...

♥ 9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Have you seen
- 'How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin' - ? :
www.youtube.com...
...giffen Klahm - perhaps not Rocked hard enuff...

♥ 9:36am fred:

@RRN63: and think how appropriate it would be to have Shatner cover it (see Stevel@9:29)

9:37am braveness23:

OK, I've gotten my fill of freaky music. Play something normal.

9:37am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Someone who speaks fluent Khlam mentioned last week that these words were not entirely radio friendly. This of course amps the mystery. We need translations.

9:38am Dave B:

Khlamydia Trachomatis

9:38am w41:

that's Yegor Letov' brother on the sax!

9:39am trish:

ХЛАМ = TRASH ?!

9:39am Rev. Turnip Druid:

CIRCLE! I'd know that golden epiglottis anywhere.

9:39am w41:

@trish: yes

♥ 9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hey Mr. Tamboura Khlam Man
gif a break to me
I'm still sleepy &
I'm rather late to Ken's show
Hey Mr. Tamboura Khlam Man
my head aches & my Browser's slow
mahn you don't even know
in the Caryn-id'd gif storm
I'll Comment aimlessly...

9:40am trish:

I'm guessing it's more 'junk' than 'trash'.
Maybe 'crap' ?

9:41am w41:

Definitely not 'crap'. Something between 'junk' and 'trash', but more on the 'junk' side

♥ 9:41am Caryn:

This is pretty good for a live set from Circle.

9:42am trish:

Going in the reverse translate direction, it's the same as 'garbage'

9:42am YETI BOB:

CIRCLE, yeah!!! This is the best!

♥ 9:42am Ken:

Normal Music coming right up, Braveness 23!

♥ 9:43am Caryn:

And the gif from Fritz Lang's "Spies".

9:43am Rev. Turnip Druid:

DON'T DO IT, KEN! Get off the ledge, all is forgiven!

9:44am Mark S:

What is normal

♥ 9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

take me on a senseless trip
wasting every Wed. morn
thru cybersurreall JerseyCity sinkholes of my mind
to your tamboura & sax - outta time
we wish for Shatner
weget Matka & Mahatma
Hey Mr. Tamboura Khlamman
gif a break to me
in my net-addicted lifestyle
we'll both drone on...

9:45am trish:

erm, garbage/trash = мусор

@w41, Gotcha, 'junk' http://translate.google.com/#auto/ru/junk .

♥ 9:45am Irene Trudel:

Normal is scary!

9:45am People Like Us:

MornginggAffternooon

9:46am Dave in PA:

Marry Me, Ken!

9:46am Andrew:

Um, is this one of those won't-stop-playing-until-we-get-more-pledges?

9:46am f◈f◈ (:

10 seconds to meltdown! Everybody ruun!!

9:48am Rev. Turnip Druid:

KHLAM covering "Halifax" by Hampton Grease Band! My favorite!

♥ 9:48am Caryn:

Gotta give it to "Spies" (SPOILER ALERT), few movies end with people applauding a suicide.

♥ 9:49am Andrew Waterloo:

So Circle is sampling Nihilist Spasm Band?

♥ 9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hey Mr. Tamboura Khlamman
is this NewNormal now?
Would we know it anyhow?
w/ your monotonic vocals
& your loungejazz accordian rambling?
Hey Mr. Tamboura Khlamman
what's innit for me?
Are we dancing down the sinkhole of all time?

9:49am f◈f◈ (:

So wait...is Khlam an Elakaleiset kind of band?

9:51am thedunkel:

Khlamtastic set/gifs today Khen!

♥ 9:51am fred:

Can you fill the sinkhole with Andy's stash of unsold Hot to Trot DVDs?

9:52am Dan B From Upstate:

Good ol, Khlam. More Khlam soon?

9:52am braveness23:

When does the normal music start?

9:54am Rev. Turnip Druid:

RAGE-LOUNGE. Now there's a genre I can sinkhole my teeth into. This Fred Lane is peak stuff.

9:54am Cecile:

I would like to hear 10cc's "I Want to Rule The World".

9:55am YETI BOB:

Oh man, Fred Lane - I haven't heard this record since nineteeen-eighty-something ....

♥ 9:55am Ken:

Normal Music coming shortly.

9:55am Mark S:

How does one define normal?

9:55am Jennique:

This sounds like something Frank Sinatra would sing in the shower before having to go deal with that goddammned rat pack.

9:56am Rev. Turnip Druid:

This is a revelation. I need so much more of this Lane cat.

9:57am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Holy crap.

♥ 9:57am Ken:

I know normal when I hear it. Any song now.

9:57am tahomajohn:

Fresh and apocopleptic!

9:58am alberto:

YES!!!! Fred Lane!!!! thank you ken!!!!

9:58am braveness23:

I trust Ken to get back to normal music

♥ 9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

BlowFreddieBlow!!!

9:58am Roberto:

French Toast Man delivers.

9:58am f◈f◈ (:

Normal gif too please.

9:59am Snortley:

Best Fred Lane cut: "I Talk to My Haircut."

10:00am Rev. Turnip Druid:

[rapid foaming-at-the-mouth google searching] .. oh hell, I've seen that LP cover before. Had no idea what jewels were hiding inside...

♥ 10:00am Asheville Jon:

yawn

10:00am dc pat:

sorry I'm late boss...can I get you a coffee??

♥ 10:01am Caryn:

I really don't think that's a gerbil. Seems like a rabbit.

10:01am common:

funniest 3 hours on radio

10:01am KevinfromBayRidge:

Abby-Normal, por favor!

10:01am dc pat:

totally a rabbit.

10:02am Snortley:

Yes; you can play Khlam back-to-front three times, if the second time is backwards, and the third is sideways.

10:02am Dan B From Upstate:

I like Khlam.

♥ 10:02am Ken:

If its a rabbit, why is it wearing a gerbil mask?

♥ 10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I know her...told her not to call @ the office...

10:03am dc pat:

to make you mislabel the gif of course.

10:03am f◈f◈ (:

A gerbil, yes!! I had to learn that word when I read the phrase "Richard Gere had a frozen gerbil lodged in his rectum" last week.

10:03am KevinfromBayRidge:

And why is it hiding a left ear?

♥ 10:04am Caryn:

Perhaps the gif name "gerbil chew" means that the rabbit is chewing on a gerbil and is just chasing it down with some lettuce? Of course, considering the rabbit's digestive system, this will end sadly for the rabbit, but hey, at least it got rid of its gerbil nemesis first.

10:04am still b/p:

Rubber Room was great!

Is there a pillar of fire above that first responder's head in the sinkhole image? A plague of sinkholes convinces Rahm to let the people go and a pillar of fire guides them to Naperville?

10:05am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Been a vegetarian for ages but I would totally chew on a gerbil.

♥ 10:05am Caryn:

@Kevin: the gerbil nemesis was sadly able to take out the rabbit's left ear before the rabbit managed to gobble it up?

10:05am Rick from SC:

Thanks, Ken, for the Late Bronze Age

10:06am f◈f◈ (:

Gerbil nemesis is Richard Gere. Google it. Well, better not to google it.

10:06am other eddie:

sounds like a bill cosby rant

10:06am Cecile:

Late Bronze Age -isn't that a Hampton Grease Band spin-off band?

10:07am Cecile:

Now I want to hear Halifax.

10:08am Rev. Turnip Druid:

WHAT CECILE SAID! ALL CAPS!

♥ 10:08am Caryn:

f◈f◈ (: hey, as far as dumb rodent headlines are concerned, the US has Gere and the gerbil, and the UK has Freddie Starr and the hamster. Feel free to google that.

10:10am dc pat:

Khlam clearly rules.

10:11am f◈f◈ (:

If I am reborn as a daugther of a Russian rich oligarch I'd ask my daddy to arrange things for Klham to play in my sweet sixteen party.

10:11am dc pat:

I swear that's exactly what I wanted to record today...back to the drawing board....

♥ 10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

!!!!!!KHLAM!!!!!!!!

\m/_ (>L _ < )))

...the kids accept no substitutes...

10:12am still b/p:

Near Christmas...a Khlampus show could be khonjured.

10:12am Ralphine:

Somebody offered me a free ticket to a Bob Dylan show tonight, but it's an hour-and-a-half drive. Should I go? What's he sounding like nowadays?

10:13am Roberto:

Ees eezy reed cyrillic! My kid figured it out after 3 days in Moscow.

10:13am Cecile:

yes. go.

10:13am dc pat:

@Ralphine: absolutely not. I mean YES!

♥ 10:14am Peanut Gallery:

Saw BD last November...great great show. Go!

10:14am f◈f◈ (:

Caryn,

I'm afraid to google that. But I am going to take a guess: Freddie Star sinkholed the hamster?

10:14am w41:

Khlam aren't performing anymore.

♥ 10:14am Caryn:

f◈f◈ (: But then you'd have to wait for years and years. And Russians celebrate namedays more than birthdays. So you could get a Khlam performance way earlier with some good daughter-to-dad begging.

@Ken: it was created by a rabbi as a pro-Jewish automaton.

♥ 10:14am SeanG:

thunk tank rules!

10:15am Cecile:

OK, now I need to hear Bear Force 1

10:15am dc pat:

Golem is a Frankenstein-like monster who defended a town of Jews from attacks from the goyem.

10:15am f◈f◈ (:

Ralphine,

Bob Dylan is sounding good nowadays. Go for it.

10:16am thedunkel:

Khlam coming to WFMU soon?

10:16am dale:

great german expressionist version of the golem,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZO_Kd3kkwE

of course the version, "IT" with roddy mcdowell is pretty good, too.

10:16am the glowing one:

sorry, but Sabrina gives me a tinnitus

10:16am Ralphine:

Thanks, y'all.

♥ 10:16am Asheville Jon:

Dylan just played here last night. Saw James McMurtry instead.

10:16am Cecile:

BEAR
FORCE
ONE

BOYS

10:17am Jeezy:

I can't believe I only noticed for the first time this morning as I jogged that Mick Jagger wakes up from his dreams to a car slathered with parking tickets in "Hey, Get Offa My Cloud."

♥ 10:17am Ken:

glowing one, my only aim is to drive you away.

10:17am dc pat:

that's what I remember anyways...

10:17am Cecile:

www.youtube.com...

10:18am dc pat:

the guy flying by all dressed up in a Union Jack is Pete Townshend too.

10:18am f◈f◈ (:

My eyes enjoy Sabrina's music more than my ears.

10:18am YETI BOB:

golem was created by the rabbi of prague, at first he was helpful and good but he got out of control and had to be destroyed ... a warning about technology, I think

♥ 10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

still b/p: Khlampus !!!
- War on Xmas! All Year 'Round!
...Ken - Sabrina's just a little too much like a NY/NJ version of one or two people who come into the ThriftStore I work @; this is my 'Sunday' okay??

10:18am Cecile:

you see dat tAtU movie yet, Ken?

10:19am dc pat:

oh, Prague eh? Man, gotta brush up on my monster history...

♥ 10:19am Peanut Gallery:

tATu me! Ken's obsessions never really go away and always leave a mark.

♥ 10:20am Ken:

Yes Cecile, I saw it. All I can say is we are really lucky that we never had a listener meetup to see it at the theaters. It was really unwatchable. Not bad-good at ALL. Just middling and boring as shit. And no tATu to speak of in it.

♥ 10:21am Caryn:

f◈f◈ (: the actual headline was "Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster!" But considering it was the headfart of the same Murdoch stooge who spread those "wonderful" stories about Hillsborough fans urinating on and having sex with the corpses during the disaster, it's as disconnected from reality as Lindsey Lohan on an average Saturday night.

10:21am f◈f◈ (:

tATu, Pussy Riot...Now it's time for the Khlam power to challenge Putin!

10:21am Rev. Turnip Druid:

DCP, it's far too early to start considering your avatar. Yet considerin' it I be.

10:21am Cecile:

That sucks. You want it to be at least "Showgirls" bad.

10:22am Sam:

Good morning! I would bet that the golem story and the frankenstein story have a common origin in earlier pagan mythology!

10:22am Ralphine:

I must be the only person that likes Showgirls.

10:22am YETI BOB:

if you visit prague, they point out the church (the "Old New Synagogue", where apparently the remains (dust) of the Golem are still kept. And you can buy a cute little pewter souvenier Golem. More here : www.pantheon.org...

10:22am dc pat:

RTD: I have no idea what you're talking about...zombie...

10:23am w41:

Holy crap... Ken, have you got the band named Glintshake? www.youtube.com...

10:23am Rev. Turnip Druid:

AVAST! I've been gaslighted! Or something!

♥ 10:24am Ken:

Ive never seen Showgirls, but yeah - I was hoping for Road House, Red Dawn, Point Break, Footloose (original) - that kind of bad.

10:24am Cecile:

Ralphine, hardly.
It's a huge cult, particularly in the gay community. There is one guy who does a MST-3K running commentary that the filmmakers actually included in a version of the DVD.

On RuPaul's Drag Race I heard someone go, "Oh, she gonna push you down the stairs like Nomi Malone!"

When I have a couple of drinks I can get into it.

10:25am dc pat:

I just had miso soup so I don't even care about general tso right now.....hmmm, general tso...

10:26am f◈f◈ (:

Ken,

You really didn't liked it. But do you think the tATu movie has any salvaging value? There must be at least one scene to salvage-gif from it.

10:26am dc pat:

TY and MIKAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:26am Rev. Turnip Druid:

damn, now I'm lost in drooly flashbacks to last night's blackbean-garlic broccoli with black fungus bun. My charming spouse has a problem with the phrase "black fungus bun" for some reason.

♥ 10:27am Caryn:

@Sam: to be fair, the Frankenstein story was greatly influenced by a) Mary Shelley's parents often taking her to see the public autopsies that were a popular pastime of the day, and b) on Shelley's recurring nightmares about her dead child rising from the grave to come after her.

10:27am Mark S:

Hey this is pretty normal

10:27am f◈f◈ (:

thanks Caryn! I was really afraid to google that up after my googling of the GerbilGeregate.

10:28am dc pat:

jeeze where do you get black fungus bun?? SCRATCH THAT...too early for food talk...

10:28am Sam:

Was she afraid of golems too?

♥ 10:28am Caryn:

@f◈f◈ (: didn't Ken say that Mischa Barton in a bloody apron was entertaining for a few seconds? You know, just as an image.

10:28am Ralphine:

Ken, I highly recommend Showgirls, if you don't mind a lot of nakedness.

10:30am Rev. Turnip Druid:

DCP: whenever I have to head out into the safari wasteland of MD suburbs (wheaton & points north), I hit the asian grocery spots. Def. need something on that scale in town.

♥ 10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

azulputacorazon

10:33am Sam:

Dr Bootygrabber always orders the black fungus buns for lunch

♥ 10:33am Ken:

Ah even Mischa Barton was a disappointment. She worked in a meat factory 0 imagine the potential! But there was like one shot inside the meat plant, which lasted half a second.

10:33am dc pat:

A re-occurring issue with city life. I'm currently trying to find tofu skins but need to find a decent Japanese grocery...

♥ 10:34am Caryn:

Gif from "You The Living" (Du Levande), btw.

10:34am braveness23:

Sorry, I had to step away. I hope I didn't miss all of the normal music

10:34am Robert:

I've a feeling none of the contest entries are going to beat the rendition of "The Spaniard" that you played previously. That guy was just soooo in character.

10:34am Bill W:

Happy May Day, Ken!

10:34am dc pat:

oooo, yer aunt would be pissed Ken...

10:34am YETI BOB:

dc pat: just use a sharp knife and skin the tofus yourself!

♥ 10:35am Caryn:

The electric chair gif, that is. The Internationale gif I've ID'd before.

10:35am dc pat:

it's too hard to make inari skins, gotta buy the dried version

10:36am Cecile:

can you get them online?

♥ 10:36am Ken:

No DC Pat, she would NOT be pissed because today is fucking May Day!

10:36am f◈f◈ (:

RRV63,
Where you got the Azul-puta-corazón from?

♥ 10:36am Sem Chumbo:

Sweet looking communist wrench.

10:37am Irma:

More KHLAM!

♥ 10:37am Ken:

Wrench or wench? Its a wench with a wrench

♥ 10:37am Caryn:

Those two worker lovebirds in the film were actually brother and sister in real life, I believe. A bit of awkward casting...

♥ 10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I just like to say it.

♥ 10:38am MD:

Happy SPRING to all my WFMU FAMILY!!!!
LET THE REBIRTH BEGIN!!!
GABBA GABBA!!!

Director(s): Richard Groschopp
GDR, 1953

10:39am Carolina:

Tears always comes in my eyes when I listen the International song in any language, including in the one that I even don´t know.

10:39am f◈f◈ (:

Tomorrow Belongs to Me comes to my mind as the antidote song for The Internationale. Am I evil?

♥ 10:40am MD:

Oh yeah I almost forgot...."THE WORKERS CONTROL THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!"
Let us never forget!!!

♥ 10:41am Caryn:

@?: yep, as I've mentioned on an earlier comments board. A lovely story of the young love between a metal worker (him) and a tractor driver (her).

10:41am Carolina:

And even in the most strange versions like this Maxx Klaxon.

10:41am Detroit Mac:

The only proper way to play the International is in Esperanto?

10:43am dc pat:

well my wife is pissed, that's all I'm sayin...

10:43am Robert:

I hear, "We've got nothing..." and my mind fills in the lyrics from "TV Party Tonight".

10:44am dc pat:

ok, this is the best version of the Internationale ever!

10:45am still b/p:

Here is our demi-golem to battle the wrench wench!

Loving this commie music. Бесплатное радио Форм!

10:45am r i s k y:

GO KEN!!!!
Your loyalest listener,

RISKY!

10:46am Carolina:

Stand up, prisoners of starvation.

10:47am Dave B:

SFMS FTW

10:48am YETI BOB:

"Who's learned the language of the internationale? Tio, Tio, Tio, Tinx"

10:48am Mark S:

I remember when FTW stood for something else

10:49am YETI BOB:

"Who was ever disowned by his grandma?"

♥ 10:49am Caryn:

The placards: "Remember? Today's Saturday!"
"Oleksey, go!"
"Go and approach!"
I rather think sexual enticements work less well in placard form. End up too forceful.

10:49am adam:

who do you have playing inbetween songs?

♥ 10:51am Sem Chumbo:

@Caryn: placards? It was the nylon-encased stems that spoke to me.

10:52am Sam:

It was good that the GOOD people were getting killed? Or it was good that the BAD people weren't getting killed? Or both?

♥ 10:52am Caryn:

@Sem: well, exactly. Why have the placards ordering you to go home and bang your wife, when the scantily clad bevy of beauties get you in the mood anyway?

♥ 10:54am Caryn:

@Ken: sad that you can't find the porno to watch?

10:55am Jennique:

Ken your gifs are one of the main draws to stopping by the playlist, so it pains me to see repeats, especially within the same playlist! You are a better giffer than that! You're just being sloppy.

10:55am dc pat:

YES KHLAM!!

10:56am Irma:

hell yeaaaaa

10:56am Sandy:

Ken, the name of the film town on the Riveria is pronounced CAN. No way it can be confused with Caen.

♥ 10:56am Sem Chumbo:

@Jennique: Ken has his favourites in power rotation, a holdover from his Top 40 programming days.

10:57am cthulhu:

KHLAMARIFFIC!

10:57am Ralphine:

Is that picture for the Soul Flower Mononoke Summit from "E.T. Goes to Russia"?

10:57am dc pat:

in all seriousness, Khlam was EXACTLY what I was looking for today! You are a genius Ken. Dank.

10:57am Sam:

Yeah, these dudes know what to do with a saxophone!

♥ 10:57am Ken:

Jennique, the talking egg denotes a microphone break! But I see your point and shall never repeat anything ever again except for a word and a phrase now and then and some music, and a few beloved habits and my favorite roads, just stuff like that, but NEVER a GIF!

♥ 10:58am Caryn:

@Jennique: Ken also has gifs he uses as a stand-by until he can find the final gif to replace it with. So sometimes repeat gifs go away after a while, replaced by something chosen with more time.

10:58am doca:

you know you're listening to something unique when the only references you find about it on google are all related to wfmu playlists.

10:58am Sam:

Imagine a world where this was the only gif...

♥ 10:59am tim from champaign:

Khlam is not so bad. I dig it OK. I think I'd only listen to it on Ken's show though.

♥ 10:59am Caryn:

@Ralphine: what, you haven't seen the "super-duper special edition" of ET yet? Not only are the guns now walkie-talkies, the entire film takes place in the USSR so that kids don't grow up to think US authorities would hunt down innocent aliens.

11:00am dc pat:

doca, you are right; tim, you are wrong.

♥ 11:01am tim from champaign:

Hee hee. what am I missing about Khlam?

♥ 11:01am Caryn:

The Harold Lloyd gif is of course from his 1920 outing, "Haunted Spooks".

11:02am Sam:

You can listen to Khlam any time you want to freak out and flail around and wreck the system. It doesn't have to be a wed. morning.

♥ 11:02am tim from champaign:

Khlam is better than Arcade Fire or Bon Iver.

11:03am dc pat:

your missing the part of my brain that needs Khlam!

11:03am Jennique:

Thanks Ken and fellow gif followers! (I knew the "sloppy" comment would stir things up) Ken's gifs are the only thing I look forward to on my Wednesday mornings.

♥ 11:04am Caryn:

By Jennique's request, the egg gif has now been replaced by the Die Antwoord music video gif. And oh look, Janet Leigh in "Psycho" with Tom Jones.

11:04am Cecile:

Oh, tom. You're not Johnny Cash and you're not Nick Cave.

11:04am dc pat:

Please hit Pause....I have a meeting..

11:06am Cecile:

and you're not Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
Pair up with the Dap-Tones and be done with it.

♥ 11:06am tim from champaign:

But mre entertaining than Tom Waits.

11:06am Ralphine:

Caryn, if you haven't already, you need to figure out a way to get paid for your picture-identifying skills (I did recognize Psycho, though).

♥ 11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Tom Jones as Cash/Cave - ??
- Mark Lanegan could do this before breakfast...

♥ 11:10am Sem Chumbo:

Elisha Cook, Jr. on drums?

11:12am Jennique:

Wonder what the Temptations think of the Love & Rockets version of this?

♥ 11:12am Caryn:

Drummer from 1944's "Phantom Lady". And yep, Sem, that's him alright.

11:12am still b/p:

Speaking of repeats -- my own comment post from another day long ago:
The drummer is Elisha Cook Jr., and his frame of mind has been correctly read here. This, from an IMDb contributed bio, is about that scene :
"...he enacts a drum-solo piece that is of such crescendo, and played with such innuendo, as to suggest - glaringly - nothing except his own fantasized sexual journey from cymbal foreplay through bass-drum climax."

11:12am Cecile:

Rev Rabbit, I know, right?

11:13am Cecile:

But I wouldn't want to hear Lanegan doing "what's new pussycat?"

11:13am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth and acolytes.

11:14am Cheri Pi:

woohoo!

11:15am Cheri Pi:

Hiya Carms!

♥ 11:15am mise en place:

good morning strange friends, and friendly strangers

11:16am Cecile:

cheri, you got some cherry chutney for me?

11:18am Cecile:

ken? This actually is the band the older Debarge brothers founded.

♥ 11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

HaHa Ce'c! ...cease...
- Hola C.Pi: What's New Pussycat?

11:18am Cheri Pi:

No girl, not yet. I have heard nothing!!! OMG we were singing EL Debarge songs last night like loons.

♥ 11:19am mise en place:

oh no, not the Buffalo Gals record!!

11:19am Cecile:

damn, I'm a sucker for this kind of lite-soul.

11:19am Cheri Pi:

Wuz up RRN63?!

♥ 11:19am Caryn:

I think Chaplin in "The Gold Rush" and Donna Reed in "It's a Wonderful Life" are such givens, I'll just encourage everyone to check out "Phantom Lady". Fabulous movie with an awesome heroine.

♥ 11:19am Ken:

I hear this song the other day and realized, THIS is where the Beegees stole their sound from.

11:19am Cecile:

didja do another chance from his last album? that song should have been this biggest thing since PSY in a just world.

♥ 11:20am ChrisB.:

The Donna Reed gif is simply record-breaking.

11:20am Cecile:

hahahha, but not really.
Great sanging.

11:21am Carmichael:

Heya Cheri.

11:22am Cecile:

irevelent conversation.

11:22am Jennique:

Watched WKRP last night by chance. Travis had to fill in as Venus was out at the last minute, so he put on a falsetto voice and said he was "Apollo Flytrap" and tried to sound funky/soulful but played country music. The Switch song woulda fit nicely for Apollo Flytrap's show.

11:22am Cecile:

great stuff.

11:22am Ralphine:

Is that PGB in the Switch picture?

11:23am Carmichael:

Is this the Bathroom Song? The music list isn't keeping itself current.

11:24am Tyrone Shoelaces:

Basketball Jones?

11:24am other eddie:

tyrone shoelaces?

11:24am Ralphine:

Why am I thinking of Basketball Jones?

♥ 11:25am AnAnonymousParty:

Ah, I remember time was you'd be listening to a song and in the middle there'd be a break with a spoken section. Now songs are mostly talking and some times there's a break in the middle where someone actually sings a couple of lines. Now get off my lawn!

11:25am other eddie:

c&c

♥ 11:25am Sem Chumbo:

Why am I now thinking Indiana Jones?

11:25am ?:

cuz that's the song Basketball Jones was parodying

11:26am Ralphine:

Because you're a Shia Laboeuf fan?

♥ 11:26am Rich in Washington:

?: Where are the Mysterians?

11:26am Cecile:

Ralphine, they lifted chunks of that song for Basketball Jones.

AAP, that's why I secretly love End of the Road by B2M - the spoken bit in the middle, "baby, my heart hurts..."

♥ 11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

BasketballJones - !
...It's the Sinkhole of QuietStorms
- I think that last one was Khlam's standout track; presumably about having your hair cut by Sovietypes??...

11:28am Jeezy:

What's up with today's playlist, Ken?!
Does someone need a hug? or, umm... a BJ?

11:29am Carmichael:

The guy knocking on the door looks like Ed Begley Jr.

11:29am Ralphine:

The first time I ever saw Pee Wee Herman was in a Cheech and Chong movie, I think.

♥ 11:30am Rich in Washington:

Smoothest song that includes the word 'cancer' ever.

11:30am Cecile:

I can't let gooooooooooo

11:30am Carmichael:

Hopefully, it rhymes with "dancer".

11:30am Cheri Pi:

Cecile, I have not been able to confirm that Ken received the Rhubarb Pasty I overnighted him yesterday. Ken-do you copy?

11:31am Cecile:

www.youtube.com...

11:31am Cecile:

MY HEART HURTS BABY, YES I FEEL PAIN TOO.

11:32am Jennique:

Cancer. The crab. Awwwwyeaaaaaaaaahhhhh

11:32am Cheri Pi:

Girl that's so smooth I just coasted through the slip-n-slide of the wet passages of my mind.

11:32am Cecile:

and you gotta love '93 style. Suit jacket with jean shorts.

11:33am Cheri Pi:

FLOAT!

11:33am Ralphine:

Aquarius, and my name is Ralphine. . . .

11:33am Listening Out There:

Uh, oh...it's Larry again....call the authorities...

11:33am Cecile:

sorry I'm in a Boy II Men loop now.

11:33am Carmichael:

Cheri, the package was intercepted by Homeland Security, who will tell you how much they enjoyed it upon receipt of your Freedom of Information Act request. In 3 to 5 years.

♥ 11:33am SeanG:

Oh my god, I love that first Gif! a dancing and ironing Gandhi!

♥ 11:34am Caryn:

Back from a phone call. Catching up on gifs:
-Switch gif is from the ballet movie "Evidentia". I suspect that's William Forsythe's "Solo" bit.
-Anna Karina in "Alphaville"

11:34am Cecile:

ohhhhh, she gave back his ring. cold

11:34am Dave in PA:

I'm crapping myself here.. Ken!!!

11:34am Cecile:

the MAN is in PAIN

♥ 11:35am MD:

LARRY!!!!!!LARRY= LOVE!!!

11:35am Cecile:

HIS HEART HURTS

11:35am still b/p:

Take my Khla-aam,
Come with me baby to love land...

11:36am Cecile:

still i can't let go...it's unnatural, you belong to me I belong to you...

♥ 11:36am Lizardner Dave:

Hello Larry.

11:36am Roberto:

Oh no. It's 2004 all over agin

11:36am Cecile:

EPIC

♥ 11:36am AnAnonymousParty:

Waterboarding for Jesus!

11:37am Carmichael:

I'm afraid I can't let you go, baby. That's why I locked the door.

♥ 11:37am SeanG:

Yo Trista, can you see me?

11:37am Cheri Pi:

Aquarius / CP

11:38am Cecile:

Gemini like Clint Eastwood & Andre 3000

♥ 11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Sorry if I missed: Gif for the Millie Jackson? Caryn? ...& her marital status...

11:39am Detroit Mac:

Where is the Bubble Lady?

11:39am common:

please tell me this isn't real

♥ 11:40am tim from champaign:

Is this an interactive exhibit from the Bush library?

♥ 11:40am Caryn:

The flying gif is from Fellini's "8½".
@RRN63: mentioned it earlier, Anna Karina in Godard's "Alphaville".

11:40am Rev. Turnip Druid:

will be sampling the shit out of this.

11:40am AT:

This is an INSANE track!

♥ 11:41am AnAnonymousParty:

So . . . that's why my doctor has an ammeter in his office?

11:41am chris:

Nice one, Tim! Lol

♥ 11:42am Rich in Washington:

I've been wanting the full-length version of this song (I only have the 4 min 7" version) but I suspect it's just the song played twice and cleverly made seamless.

11:42am AT:

"libra..." hah!

♥ 11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Scorpio. Single. Have *never* used electricity. That would be UnAmerican & violate the Geneva Convention.

11:42am Cory:

any chance of source info on the torture talk?

11:43am still b/p:

Bogosian?

11:43am f◈f◈ (:

Cory,

Eric Bogosian's Funhouse

11:44am giselle:

can you do a tribute to delilah?

11:45am PKNY:

Luther Ingram did the original "If Loving You is Wrong".

11:45am Cory:

Thanks very much!

♥ 11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Or if you want the Detail on My Signs :
www.astro.com...
...but Detail just isn't sexy, is it...

♥ 11:45am Ike:

Caryn, if you haven't found out yet, there is a Web player for Give the Drummer Radio:
wfmu.org...
Enjoy!

11:46am ceedub:

cheeze'n'rice I thought Duane had come in early to make up for all his previous tardinesses.

11:46am Rev. Turnip Druid:

It's true. Rubin is the bringer of death. Stealer of souls.

11:47am Carmichael:

He is become Death.

♥ 11:47am Caryn:

@Ike: thanks :)

11:47am KevinfromBayRidge:

Neil Diamond's still movin' around after Rubin!

♥ 11:47am mise en place:

was just listening to this Santana record on Sunday

11:47am Cecile:

He did great things for Trouble (the metal band) and Johnny Cash. Have not been thrilled about his latest projects.

11:48am Jennique:

@ceedub - had the same thought! Duane better play some speed metal to balance things out.

11:48am Carmichael:

As my kids would say, he thinks he's all that.

♥ 11:48am tim from champaign:

Does that mean ZZ Top is taking a long walk on a short pier?

♥ 11:49am Ken:

You cant blame the new Tom Jones on Rick Rubin - it wasnt actually produced by RR - it was produced by Ethan Johns, in the spirit of Rick Rubin.

11:50am Jennique:

If you constantly click the zoom button on Alec Baldwins face, it had a 3D effect.

11:51am Cory:

lovin this raga

♥ 11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Thx Caryn:...confused w/ Wire gif NotBardot chick, also an 'A'-something...leave it to Godard...

♥ 11:51am Ike:

Hmm, I actually prefer this new Rubin-ized Tom Jones over the regular Tom Jones from what I've heard so far. Maybe I prefer semi-fake darkness to fake slick jokey lightness.

11:53am Cecile:

I like Tom when he's got a big production. He has a huge voice and he has to have backing that stands up to him. I don't mind him doing soul with a big band - I think that's the way to go.

Oh, Ethan johns, that's right. The song of the guy who wrecked the Who.

♥ 11:53am Caryn:

We know what that crab's been doing to get such an overdeveloped right claw! Hah!

11:53am Cecile:

Tom Jones started as an RnB singer. I think putting him with Mark Ronson and the DapTones would be a win.

11:53am still b/p:

Don't multi-zoom the Baldwin! It's like the cinnamon challenge for your mind!

11:54am Ralphine:

I see what you mean, Jennique. Sort of like Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Stewardesses.

11:54am Cecile:

Actually, Caryn, that's a stone crab. In order to keep their number plentiful, fishermen only harvest one claw at a time.

11:55am Carmichael:

Fender Rhodes, baby.

11:55am hamburger:

Ach Jes Ken - keep it funkay!

11:55am Cecile:

but he does look really lopsided

♥ 11:55am Caryn:

@Cecile: Never let reality get in the way of a smutty joke!

Which reminds me, started the day off switching between channels and chanced upon a vet show, only to have the first patient be a parrot who had injured herself by masturbating too much. Who knew?

11:56am Ralphine:

That's not a fiddler crab?

♥ 11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Someone mentioned The Who - & it wasn't me!
...Please elaborate on the Ethan Johns connection!

♥ 11:56am Caryn:

No, it's a diddler crab. *rim shot*

11:58am Ralphine:

Ouch, Caryn. Ouch.

11:58am Cecile:

I stand corrected!! Stone crabs are bigger and flatter.

hahahahahah, fiddler crab. hahahaha

11:58am f◈f◈ (:

Parrot porn. You really never heard of that?

11:58am still b/p:

(Self-vetoing bad parrot-related lines.)

11:59am trish:

Thank you, Ken.

♥ 11:59am Caryn:

End gif is, as mentioned on an earlier board, from "The Mask of Satan", also known as "Black Sunday".

11:59am Cecile:

Ethan Johns is Glyn Johns son. Glyn Johns produced a bunch of later Who albums.

12:00pm Cecile:

later who albums that are not really that great.

12:00pm Cory:

Thank you Ken.

♥ 12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Oh - think I saw him in 'KidsAlright' DVD extras...

12:01pm f◈f◈ (:

Khlam believe show's over! See you next time for more great normal music, giffing, lyricing courtesy of Revolution Rabbit Nov63 and on demand gif comment from Caryn! Bye!
