Late for the Flood: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 9:00am Ken:

Morning All! The flood waters almost pulled me under and I arrived at the high groundd of WFMU really late so the order of business now is SONGS THAT ARE 6-7 MINUTES LONG. Unfortunately, I cant think of any. So I was hoping that you could. if the waters had actually gotten a hold of me I'd be looking for 8 Minute Long Songs. But I'm sorta OK. And I cleaned up X-Ray Burns' peanutshells so the Magic Factory wont flood.

9:01am Glenn m:

good.morning ken

9:01am northguineahills:

9:18am Cheri Pi:

9:23am Dr. Goot:

Killer segue Ken!

9:23am Cecile:

I think Hell Patrol is about that long. And it's sillier.

9:23am common:

HAAA!!!!!!!

♥ 9:23am DCE:

Dagnabbit, I'll second Painkiller.

9:24am Cheri Pi:

Hell Patrol!

9:24am Cheri Pi:

I could go either way.

9:25am Jeezy:

I was gonna complain that my exorbitant pledge surely deserved well prepared and executed programming.. But rushed/late Ken is as great as prepared Ken, it seems.

9:25am f๑f๑ (:

Hello WFMU, hello Ken

9:25am jdelz:

Dubya-FMU

9:26am Rev. Turnip Druid:

It's only 4:30+ but I have a sudden terrible desire to crank CREEPIN' CRAZY TIME by Big Blood. It cures everything. And begins new infections.

♥ 9:26am Irene Trudel:

Total Genius!

♥ 9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Goyim: Dunno if relates, but: I was motivated to finally plug in the Mac instead of my old PC w/ Explorer 6 because Comments were not auto-scrolling & SignIn on the little Comment window didn't show my Icon automatically, altho' did let me SignIn...

♥ 9:26am DCE:

Hey jdelz. Ken, I save all your gifs and send them in emails to my coworkers. They are thrilled to get emails from me.

9:28am jdelz:

Mornin' DCE!

♥ 9:29am Irene Trudel:

6 to 7 minute song? How about Mac Arthur Park? Good for a rainy day.

9:29am thedunkel:

is the sinkhole helping keep the floodwaters out?

9:29am common:

yes, ken. i just walked through south philly to north philly to work in a filth flood. wish i liked my job.

9:29am dc pat:

Jandekistan...nice.

♥ 9:29am fred:

People Like Us' Swinglargo is close to 6 minutes

♥ 9:29am Rob Weisberg:

That wonderful disgusting smell is seeping up from our flooded basement right now - nice smellulary accompaniment to the sounds of the Magic Factory.

9:30am Goyim in the AM:

Nope, that's not it. I am clicking on the e-mail link to confirm my new account and it sends me to the login screen, no announcement that my account is confirmed, and I can't log in.

9:30am dale:

KNEW it was x-ray - does he throw his old ny posts down there as well?

♥ 9:31am DCE:

oh no not that again!!

9:31am dc pat:

KLAHM!!!

9:32am doca:

khlam!

9:32am Michael:

The Klahm after the storm....

♥ 9:32am tim from champaign:

If there was cigarette butts and chicken bones in with the peanuts, then it was definitely X Ray.

9:33am trish:

Traditional ХЛАМ

9:34am jdelz:

DCE - Friday at Pats is the Cave Bear 10 yr anniv. show w/ Megachurch and Swindlella!

9:34am dc pat:

♥ 9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

OhMuhDarlin'OhMuhDarlin'OhMuhDarlin' Khlamentine
- to a spinnin' head o' Rollins
- everythang will work out fahn...

9:35am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Bryce is very absorbent. More effective than high-grade industrial moisture-retention granules. You've got the answer RIGHT THERE, man. Or you will on Friday anyway.

9:36am bob:

where are these khlam guys from ken?

♥ 9:39am Ken:

Not sure where ХЛАМ is from. I think Oleg from Messer Chups gave me this CD when I was in Moscow.

♥ 9:39am fred:

So all this talk about 6-7 minutes tracks was just an excuse to indulge in more Khlam?

♥ 9:39am Goyim in the AM:

It was me, all is well with the regisration.

9:39am northguineahills:

EYVING KANG!!!!

9:41am northguineahills:

sorry, didn't mean to shout.

9:42am f๑f๑ (:

Ken, you met Oleg!?!? And he introduced you to the Khlam?!?! And all this while the CIA was following you everywhere in Russia?

♥ 9:42am fred:

@NGH: that's a good enough reason to get excited

9:42am common:

i would like to share a sock puppet video my band made. enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQeXti3Yr-g

♥ 9:43am Ken:

Yes indeed f0f0, Oleg laid the Khlam on me right under the watchful eye of the uptight blonde CIA lady.

♥ 9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

To the tune of "Damage': Spinning! Gotta holda me! Hate this gif! Gottta break free!

...Maybe *Gawd* doesn't...

9:44am f๑f๑ (:

Secret Agent Ken 007,0,0,0

9:45am Rev. Turnip Druid:

So the bridge of Henry's nose is the only stable point, the only thing we can truly rely on. I am afraid.

♥ 9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- reminded of in 'How Beatles Rocked Kremlin': In Soviet era, scoring records was illicit like drugs over here...

♥ 9:46am fred:

So Ken got the Khlam while hanging out with a blonde intelligence agent in Russia

9:47am northguineahills:

I've missed the last 2 records Eyvind did w/ Jessica Kenney, I need to catch up.

9:47am dc pat:

C'mon, is this song about Tin Tin?

9:47am Jennique:

The Henry Rollins gif ~almost~ looks like one of those drawings where you see a face upside down and rightside up.

9:48am Rev. Turnip Druid:

@Jennique: or one of those WOOLY WILLY toys with the iron filings & magnetic pen to give him a beard/hair/whatever.

♥ 9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...like on Conan when they invert people's heads...

9:50am northguineahills:

Yeah, that Rollins head would make an excellent Rollins picture disc.

9:50am f๑f๑ (:

You see people? This is what a good DJ has to do in order to get the bands we love. He goes in this undercover operations in repressive countries to bring us the best music covered under their iron curtains. I salute you, comrade Ken!

9:50am TradeMark G:

Hah! I -just- played this song (Flying Lizards) on my own show Monday.

♥ 9:52am Ken:

Hey Mark G! Wilkommen!

9:52am f๑f๑ (:

Hey, I just found out this hack: if you rotate your laptop/PC screen the Henry Rollins gif doesn't rotate!

♥ 9:55am fred:

Any Ray Harryhausen gif lying around Ken? Or are you waiting for Caryn to show up

9:55am TradeMark G:

Danke sehr, herr Ken!

9:55am dc pat:

f๑f๑, huh didn't work for me, he just went faster...

♥ 9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...if a kid's too young to know Nixon
...do ya tell 'im - or is the passing of his memory what we've waited for - ??...

9:55am northguineahills:

My finger is developing repetitive stress disorder from clicking fave stars. Better then the last time I got it from scratching my ass.

9:56am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Yeh, we gotta have a Very Beersy Screening of GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD to toast the old man. It was his finest hour.

9:57am Cheri Pi:

Mmmmm beersys....

9:58am northguineahills:

I was born during Ford's administration, but I "know" Nixon, heck I even "know" Millard Fillmore.

♥ 9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

ngh: your finger didn't like it there - ??
- Did my hero Harryhausen pass??
- If watch Caroline Munro I must - well no *if* about it actually...

9:59am Robert:

For long songs, just look for the pile of records Jonesy made that he was NOT allowed to play during his record-setting stay-awake program.

10:00am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Aye, Rabbit. and yessir, GOLDEN VOYAGE be wit the charming Ms. Munro. Saw that one when it was new, and she did leave quite the impression...

10:00am Rev. Turnip Druid:

GREAT KING LANZ! Naggin! Fine choice.

10:00am r i s k y:

REIGN DOWN ON EM KEN!

10:00am Cecile:

Rev, Cheri, have you heard any good prog records based on Midwestern history lately?

10:01am northguineahills:

This rather melodic for Sudden Infant.

10:01am Cheri Pi:

The theme song for Beersys!!

10:01am Rev. Turnip Druid:

It's a very rare sub-sub-subgenre, Cecile, but there is one classic example in the collection...

10:02am northguineahills:

10:02am Cecile:

Do tell.

♥ 10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Harryhausen was 92 - & he knew we loved him. Wunna my biggest Heroes - wunna the shortlist of people I wished I'd *be* if I ever grew up (which didn't happen)...

10:03am dale:

ken - just checked and the extended mix of boogie in the butt is 6:27

10:04am TradeMark G:

oh shucks, Ken -- thanks for playing th' Snatch :-)
Heard the other track I did with that reverend? "Don't Let The Devil Blow Your Mind" is on my newer ECC album All Rights Reserved.

♥ 10:05am rsj:

got lots of wife grief from exposing my kids to the boogie in the butt

10:06am Cheri Pi:

Cecile! I've only heard rumors from Japanese crate diggers who scour the Methodist Church bazaars of the northern Upper Peninnsula-that such a beast exists. rumor has it that an excperpt from such a 2xlp was heard on an episode of the Jeffersons

10:06am TradeMark G:

Been trying to locate this reverend -- I've gotten as close to locating a church which I believe his son is preaching at (Elder Marshall Taylor II) but they haven't been returning my phone calls... perhaps my sampling of Elder Taylor I wasn't complimentary enough.

10:07am Cecile:

Has someone told KEN about this?

10:09am Dan:

Have you heard Vagina Jones?

10:09am Cheri Pi:

They were a major influence on Klahm-who heard it on a jukebox when they were finishing their degrees @ Michigan Tech

10:10am Jennique:

@Rev turnip druid: Wooly Willy - YES! and I concur, Golden Voyage of Sinbad was the best Harryhausen film. Blew my mind as a kid with the "dancing Kali" scene. Sad he is gone, but his influence is EPIC.

♥ 10:12am tim from champaign:

@RSJ - Excellent work! Keep it up.

10:13am common:

that is insane, ken.

10:13am northguineahills:

Hey, 8 beers can be considered to be a "few" to some hosers. Not that I would know....

10:14am Marmalade Kitty:

lol :D

10:14am cptbob:

ah local politics!

10:14am bob:

concurred northguineahills... 8 is when the party gets started!

♥ 10:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Thx for making me feel better about Sen. Ayotte up here in NewHampshire, Mayor...

♥ 10:15am fred:

We all know what "a couple of beers" means

♥ 10:15am Skirkie:

Dude can't hold his liquor.

♥ 10:16am rsj:

Just one beer (growler) for me

10:16am cptbob:

i just went out for 'a pint'. eight pints that is.

♥ 10:16am rsj:

a couple of growlers=8 beers

10:17am Cheri Pi:

Miley!

♥ 10:17am tim from champaign:

8 beers? In Michigan that considered an appetizer.

10:18am Jeezy:

Did Miley just say her "buzz is gone"?

10:18am Pants head:

So where's the porch pic of Healy anyway?

10:18am Cecile:

It's just salvia.

♥ 10:18am fred:

Ken, what will your BFF Gov have to do now to get in the news?

10:19am Jennique:

Ken you forgot to mention the whole controversy surrounding Chris Christie - "While fueling further speculation of a presidential bid, Gov. Christie claims gastric-band surgery was for his family."

♥ 10:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

'Jason & the Argonauts' is a strong contender - 'FiveMillionMiles to Earth'
...I see people's stuff as one body of work more & more (all that Beatles? - 8 years-ish)...

♥ 10:19am Skirkie:

Secret lap band surgery is what.

10:19am Cheri Pi:

@Cecile- evidently Richard Dawson was willed a copy from the Hemsley estate. I wonder who's sitting on that golden proggy -egg now, EH???

♥ 10:19am fred:

They could just as well credit this to autotune

10:19am Rev. Turnip Druid:

This sounds like them "pop vocal" things. I've heard such things exist on earth but never thought I'd run into one.

10:20am bob:

autotune just does this on the side for cash. ghost writer for the stars

10:20am don:

if i was miley cyrus' dad i might not be too happy about her hanging around with snoop... unless i was a money-grubbing music business whore.

♥ 10:20am Ken:

I dint forget, it's just that Christies operation is NOTHING compared to the two mayors this week.

10:20am Cheri Pi:

I feel so current now. This gives me that extra skip in my step I was missing.

10:21am Jennique:

@Pants Head - fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net...

10:22am Cheri Pi:

Dinger!

10:22am Rev. Turnip Druid:

DINGAH!

♥ 10:23am fred:

@Ken: exactly! I hope he proves to be up to this challenge

♥ 10:23am Andrew Waterloo:

so why are the photgraphs of the mayor on the porch so grainy? Were they taken by the local UFO investigator?

10:23am duke:

Snoop Cyrus or Miley Lion?

This sounds like Ken singing, for some reason.

Helge is the Adrian Celentano of Germany.

Helge Schneider is actually a pretty fantastic musician -- he does this stuff for laughs.

10:31am kim (germland):

10:40am Nick the Bard:

And here I am thinking I could get away from the music I have to hear at work, over and over and over :/

♥ 10:40am G:

It was pouring so hard at 7:30 in Brooklyn that the rain on the window woke me up. Someone I know who was on the phone to Korea got laughed at by a Korean because a lightning bolt made her jump, and he could hear it all the way to Korea and laughed when she jumped. It's Noah territory, people. Has tailed off for the moment, though.

10:41am Wretch:

Armor of God!

♥ 10:41am Baby:

Git dese girlz out mah crib, yo.

10:42am r i s k y:

Oof, that was painful.

10:42am Sam:

A$AP is a brilliant rap name, proclaiming the importance of money, and emphasizing the need to acquire it quickly.

10:42am r i s k y:

Make it hurt so good Ken.

10:44am Nick the Bard:

How much do I have to pledge to make the hurting stop? :/

♥ 10:44am Asheville Jon:

would you still drink from the "pool full of liquor" if someone peed in it?

10:45am Sam:

There would be ALOT of dead bugs in that pool.

♥ 10:45am Ike:

What's the point of dunces like A$AP Rocky -- what's the point of rapping, which is all about playing with language, if you can barely speak English? Thank Gob there is real quality out there like Shabazz Palaces and the stuff Billy Jam plays. Too bad there is a literacy test to get on commercial stations like Hot 97. And when I say "literacy test" I mean it sounds like you have to FAIL at literacy to get on Hot 97.

10:46am Cheri Pi:

He was in town yesterday I think! had a big azzed purple bus with his name on it parked a few blocks away from my crib

10:46am northguineahills:

Downstairs neighbors moved out, so I turned on the subs. Actually sounds a'ight.

10:46am don:

kendrick lamar sounds like a classy guy!

♥ 10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Hey!: I plugged my turbowheel mouse into this Mac - & I can *RightClick* - ! What a BraveNewCentury this is...

10:48am Cecile:

Kendrick Lamar is great.

10:48am northguineahills:

I have no idea what the lyrics are to most music unless I've heard the track scores of times, so lyrics really have no impact to me of whether I enjoy the track or not. Now, to be a fave, that's different.

♥ 10:49am Ike:

Aw, Sam@10:42 and Don said it so much better than I could, and with just a sentence each. Clearly I have much to learn from concise unregistered commenters.

♥ 10:50am Andrew Waterloo:

with lyrics it's either ambivalence or love.

♥ 10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...but I try to loggin to Google & YouTube - & I don't remember my Password - & to get it they wanna send it textmail - but I ain't gotta mobile er nuthin'!
- I mean c'mon people - summa us are older & ain't got the money for that stuff

Ken-
this flooding business/cleaning the streets must really appeal to you

10:53am Nick the Bard:

Tom Jones is f'n awesome, and so is Billy Joel, so, yeh.

♥ 10:53am Asheville Jon:

i hate phil collins, so Ken, i think you should play a few songs by him.

♥ 10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I think I'd rather be on an elevator w/ Joel than listen to him...

♥ 10:54am fred:

But there's such a long line for hating on Billy Joel, so we need some other targets while we wait

♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...preferably w/ some Elton piped in...

I spend large amounts of my time among people who love Billy Joel to pieces, and say things to me like "You must be the only person in the *world* who doesn't like Billy Joel!" Once again, WFMU reaches out its hand to me and says "You are not alone."

10:56am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Oh I'll go to WAR for Tom Jones, but can't get behind the hippity hop (some folks talk too much in public, others just do it with a drum machine). But the kids dig it, so I shrug & let live...

10:56am listener mark:

Hoboken was once an island with tidal marshlands to the west.

♥ 10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...whereas you'd rather hear me than be on an elevator w/ me...
- oh Parq, not nearly alone...

♥ 10:57am G:

If it rains hard enough, Hoboken is an overflowing bathtub.

♥ 10:57am Caryn:

Hello all! Been home for an hour, but computer was acting up.

So, gifs: "The Matrix", obviously. "I Was A Spy", a quite forgotten movie that I recommend. "Singing in the Rain". And Jackie Chan classic "Armour of God".

10:57am Sam:

There was a lady at the PATH station saying not to vote for Fulop because he wouldn't go to bat for her in her discrimination lawsuit against Yeshiva University, because he's too corrupt to impeach the corrupt judge who threw her case out. Maybe she's right, maybe everybody is corrupt?

♥ 10:57am tim from champaign:

I love that Ken's phone calls always include the phrase "How much do I owe ya?".

♥ 10:57am DCE:

go Jacco!!

10:58am other eddie:

at the risk of hater blowback, i enjoyed the billy joel interview by alec baldwin on "here's the thing."

10:59am f๑f๑ (:

No more UGO (Unidentified Gif Objetcs)!! Caryn is here!! \o/

♥ 11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Tom Jones is a great singer (& prob. a helluvaguy) - but so is PlacidoDomingo & I don't wanna hear *him* doin' Johnny Cash or Tom Waits. (The new Tom Jones stuff is acceptable to good from what I heard on FMU)...

♥ 11:02am fred:

Tenniscoats! And Caryn is here! Ken, unleash the Harryhausen gifs already

11:03am pierre:

Quickly listening and passing the bonjour to Ken and everyone.
Unfortunately, I don't have Internet on the streets of London.
So I'll be able to tune in only while at the place I'm staying in.

Lots of love from here.

11:04am Cheri Pi:

Pierre! Enoy yourself!

Salut Pierre, amuse-toi bien a Londres!

@pierre: I guess this means you'll miss the SaboyaFest tomorrow, too bad

♥ 11:05am Ike:

RTD, Billy Jam plays excellent hippity hop. But such MCs with, y'know, vocabularies & stuff are not allowed in the A$AP-level tracks acknowledged by popular culture.

11:05am Cory:

Ken, could I talk you into playing "Do You Realize?" by the flaming lips as an anniversary gift for my wife?

♥ 11:06am Andrew Waterloo:

I just don't want to have to say something nice about it.

♥ 11:06am DCE:

Cobra Verde!

re: Hoboken floods.
I guess draining marshes seemed like a smart thing to do in 1866; good for the economy.

11:06am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Pierre! Have a pint of Bombardier for me!

11:06am pierre:

@Cheripi: I'll try to enoy the best I can :)
@Sam: merci

By the way French people I've learn that People Like Us is in Lyon's Les Nuits Sonore ! Tsk tsk, I have to go to London, and a member of the wfmu goes to France...

11:07am pierre:

@RTD: bombardier, noted ! Thanks for the tip.

@fred: yeah... But they'll be others I'm sure :)

♥ 11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

pierre: Large portions of my DNA request being remembered to its' home countries (France & England) - if you think of it! Regards!

11:10am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Ike: yeh, I've enjoyed much of BJam -- In general my interest-level engages as soon as them rappity sumbitches shut the hell up & let the sounds come through. I tend to tune out immediately if some posturing hosebag starts yelling at me.

11:10am Rev. Turnip Druid:

ANNIE!

11:10am f๑f๑ (:

oh la la pierre! You and Bardot always make the comment section a treat!

Are you in London?! Now that would explain why there was so many police officers and streets closed in the downtown area! And I thought they were doing that to secure the Queen for her speech! Ha!

♥ 11:12am Ken:

Good God Ike, a good vocabulary is one of the most over-rated traits of popular music. Case in point: The Decemberists. Yechh

11:12am pierre:

@fofo: I'll let her speak, but I really need to find that bombardier beer now…

♥ 11:13am fred:

@Ike: I don't think I've missed one of BJ's shows since he came to the station. Except the last two or so, but I'll catch up, thanks Bob for the archives

11:13am dale:

neil sounds a little like jerry lewis on this cut. little water song on that disc is gorgeous

♥ 11:13am Caryn:

@Andrew: Healy's porch pics are grainy because apparently TPTB are merciful and don't want to have everyone losing their lunch over HD pictures of his naked body.

♥ 11:14am tim from champaign:

Amen, Ken!!!!!

11:14am f๑f๑ (:

Er..What is a BJ show ?

♥ 11:15am Caryn:

The BB/Birkin is from "If Don Juan Were A Woman". Recommended for those among us who want to see BB & Birkin buck naked and in bed together.

Speaking of movies, love today's Saul Bass tribute on Google.

11:16am pierre:

@ffoffo: I'd say Billy Jam, even if I really want to say something else.

11:16am Carmichael:

Yay, Neil Hannon! Good morning Kenneth, and a woof and moo to all of you.

11:17am f๑f๑ (:

Oh yeah! Billy Jam has been here before or in France. I think there was a meet up?

11:17am pierre:

(I personally don't really like Brigitte Bardot, just saying, I'm more a Sophia Loren/Italian actress kind of guy)

♥ 11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Vocab.: Music doesn't have to engage &/or flatter my intellect &/or verbal lobes ('Bird Is the Word' will do just fine, Thx)
- as long as it does not *insult* it!
- That's where I'm w/ RTD
- altho' I think that one thing the FMU experience (for prominent egs.) illustrates is that it's less about Genre - & more about the Artistic Sensibilities being applied to it
( - one thing I like about Marty McSorley's Program, ferinstance, is he mixes in tasteful bits of HipHoppy stuff I would not choose by meself...

♥ 11:17am fred:

@Ken: The Decemberists do get verbose, but that's part of why their Calamity Song video was such a good fit

♥ 11:18am Ike:

Ken, maybe I should phrase it differently. Music that revels in arrogant pride of its own stupidity and anti-intelligence. In a way, A$AP Rocky is the hip hop equivalent of Maroon 5 or the Spin Doctors, but with better beats, admittedly.

11:19am f๑f๑ (:

Caryn,

Can you do a reverse search? Say that I wanted to see all the gifs with Bardot and Birkin naked together in bed, can you bring them all up?

11:20am f๑f๑ (:

Sorry if it looks like I'm addressing you like you were a image search engine.

11:20am Sam:

Oh, they just dropped the German S-bomb twice!! Good thing the FCC is too ignorant to understand German.

11:21am pierre:

As Flipper would say "talk's cheap"

♥ 11:23am Caryn:

Ooh, Ellen von Unwerth photo from "Revenge" accompanying the Lemper/Hannon piece! Now there's a book for those who enjoy the BB/Birkin stuff. Looking at you, f๑f๑ (: ...

11:23am Carmichael:

Is this "Dudes with Low Voices" day? Because that's a cool theme.

11:24am Dr. Goot:

I'll be in my bunk...

♥ 11:24am Ike:

Actually A$AP is maybe more like Tesla than the Spin Doctors. What are some really shitty rock bands that take great pride in their own stupidity rather than just bland, cardboard mediocrity? That's what I'm going for.

11:25am f๑f๑ (:

pierre, What? You prefer Loren over Bardot? Oh, well, I guess grass is always greener on the other side. I'd say Monica Vitte > Cardinale = Bardot

11:25am Rev. Turnip Druid:

DINGAH!

♥ 11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Django form that Triplets film - ! - ?

♥ 11:27am Mike East:

@Ike - someone in the lobby in front of me, as I type this, is talking about what a great band The Spin Doctors were.

♥ 11:27am Mike East:

...and I don't think they're being ironic.

♥ 11:27am Caryn:

Looking back over the playlist, I'm cursing my laptop for not allowing me to hear the start of the show... It's moments like this that I'm really grateful for the archives.

♥ 11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

frOm - & I got all 10 fingers...
- new MAc keyboard in my lap 'til I clear the clutter tho'...

♥ 11:28am Ken:

I prefer Jane to Briggitte and I too love La Cardinale even though I've never posted her here I dont think.

11:28am pierre:

Sorry fofo, I love any 60's/70's actresses over Bardot. I find her annoying, and a bit sexist. She can't catch my interest.

11:28am f๑f๑ (:

Thanks Caryn for the link! But it's giving me an error (503). I guess a lot of people here are simultaneously clicking the link .

♥ 11:28am fred:

Blame my being french, but Bardot the Mad(dr)Hag makes me nauseous. Anyway, even staying on the purely physical attraction level, I like Birkin much better

♥ 11:29am Caryn:

@RRN63: yes indeed, "Triplets of Belleville".

♥ 11:29am Ken:

I disagree Ike. I think A$AP Rocky is the Hip Hop Equivalent of the Ramones or the Kingsmen or Flipper.

11:29am Dave E:

What about Olive Oyle?

11:30am pierre:

And I said Sophia Loren? I wanted to say Cardinale...

"Sophia Loren" was the name of the sculpture of a weird monster a friend did.

♥ 11:30am Ike:

HERESY, KEN!!!!!

Bardot was okay, but give me Deneuve, Loren, Vitti, Cardinale, Mangano or even young Virna Lisi over her any day.

11:32am Mark S:

What if it was a good band taking pride in its own stupidity

♥ 11:32am fred:

@Ken: except I saw Flipper last year and they where charging something like $20 and A$SAP Rocky plays next month and tickets are around $70

11:32am Carmichael:

11:36am pierre:

I raise my tentacle in sign of agreement with RTD here.

11:36am f๑f๑ (:

Ah, pierre!!!

And what's your take on Melanie Laurent ?! I just discovered her and can't stop looking at her!

P.s. Yes, Rachel Welsh, super hot.

♥ 11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Music is different than Prose - even more than it is from Poetry.

11:38am f๑f๑ (:

Sylvia Kristel was ok when alive.

11:38am bob:

WHAT TRAINS ARE YOU GONNA RIDE AND WHEN!?!?

11:38am Dan B From Upstate:

Well... since Andy's listening, he knows it now-- Okay. I couldn't say that with a straight face. Sounds like a Ken win.

11:39am Sam:

You might get arrested.

11:39am pierre:

I don't really like Melanie Laurent, but I understand you. I mean the fact that I don't like her, is very personal and related to her music, way of playing… but I acknowledge and respect your views.

♥ 11:39am tim from champaign:

Solicit at 53rd & 3rd?

11:39am looloo:

#1 train

11:40am Sam:

Don't take the 6, that gets way too crowded. The B,C could be good, or a nice 2 or 3 express train.

♥ 11:40am fred:

There was discussion about Twin Peaks actresses on a playlist recently. I'm in the Donna camp.

♥ 11:40am Caryn:

@pierre: I like Raquel for having a sense of humour and being quite adept at physical comedy.

@rev: history has too many great male and female film stars to ogle to list them all, so I think everyone just focused on the 60s/70s for now for some reason. I might add Anna Karina and Julie Christie to the list.

♥ 11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...any gifs of Susan Sarandon kissing Lesley Ann Warren??
- I'd happily be the Serge in the sandwich comprised of anybody mentioned so far...

♥ 11:41am Caryn:

11:41am pierre:

Physical comedy make people sexy to me.

♥ 11:42am fred:

@Caryn: Do add Anna Karina

11:42am common:

more vodka!

11:42am KevinfromBayRidge:

Finish before 3PM unless you want to get into the highschool rush, which might be a little dangerous, especially for Andy. But if you do go past 3, bring some KHLAM for protection!

11:43am pierre:

Ok guys, see you very soon!

♥ 11:43am Ike:

If you get arrested, record the whole thing and play it back for us on 7SD.

Don't try the 4 or 5 trains, they're always too crowded. I'd also avoid the A and C which often seem incredibly skeezy to me.

♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...oh yeah - goodlooking Comediennes / ComedicActresses...

11:43am f๑f๑ (:

Thank you pierre for not scolding me on liking Melanie Laurent.

But what if her music was like that from Brigitte Fontaine?!!

11:44am Rev. Turnip Druid:

fair point, re: 60s/70s film-stars ... the aforementioned Caroline Munro did add a certain healthy zest for life when I saw Golden Voyage of Sinbad in the theater (age 6)...

11:45am doca:

Elke Sommer.

11:45am pierre:

@fofo: I think I will still have a problem with her. But if she sung like Fontaine, that would mean she don't give a crap sounding weird, and add a touch of humor in it, and as I say, this is the thing that I find the sexiest in people. Humor.

11:45am Mark S:

Have you seen Lara Flynn Boyle lately?

www.huffingtonpost.com...

11:46am fred von helsing:

"god dag på dig", GOT IT :-D

11:49am f๑f๑ (:

I agree with you pierre. Humour is sexy. Well..Wing's music is kind of humourous, isn't? Er..Now I'm confused.

11:49am bedheaded:

♥ 11:58am Caryn:

The spinning swings at my old local amusement park are nicely positioned at the edge of a cliff, which adds an extra thrill to the ride.

"The End" from "Black Sunday", starring another 60s/70s favourite for many, Barbara Steele.

11:58am fred von helsing:

why aren't there faces like that in movies today?

On an end note (mainly because I forgot to mention it earlier), creepy Jesus reminds me of Noel Fielding for some reason.
