Damn, Ken, I hate it when you hang out with Dum Dum. ;)

There's a band from Russia called Khlam. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of them.
Anyway, these are some other request ideas:
- Bands suggested by Cecile
- Tropicalia protest stuff to show our solidarity with the povo and Senhor Testiculo in Brazil!
- More from the Melvin's new album!
- Nini Raviolette / Prince-O-Rama !!!!11!11

There's a video of Sweden guy somewhere in the Interwebz where you can see him singing live in the HELLO SWEDEN persona (an one-arm 80's metal-hair rockstar). There's actually a bizarre TV-series where he portrays that character.
Hey Ken, how about something off the new Sabbath record?
Hey Billy Jam!

Quick check-in before leaving work. No time to sign in or do a gif check, apart from the Marx Bros. movie "The Big Store". I'll be back when I get home from my commute.
Oh, yes. Michael Savage IS the king. I still can't believe you took over his soul and somehow managed to share that with us. And talking about channeling, It would be great if you could do Phil Hendrie.
Dr Miles' "Nervine" turns out to be bromides---literally, and by 'literally' I literally mean 'literally'...guy could have at least favoured us with a bit of chloroform with some cocaïne to cut the low....
Fofo- I'm with you! I'll sit at my computer for 3 hours attempting to purchase an early bird tix for the yet another F'in music festival, only to be gouged later on. Whoops site crashed, sorry! Anything for that generic folk band and $10 miller lites!
I admit I'm a little slow on the uptake but can someone explain why this NSA "wire-tapping" is such huge news right now given we've known about it since 2006?
True story...I took radio broadcasting classes in high school in the late 80s. One semester the radio broadcasting class was in charge of putting together a school dance. The class got Bubba The Love Sponge to DJ that dance. At the time, he was a popular DJ in the local radio market.

The owners of the weird colourful dogs..those people should be the ones we should be care of and/or to be spied on!
That idea for 7SD leads to another song request, since you just put it in my head as an insidious EARWORM: "repeat repeat" by Peter Baumann.
...some robot dance party stuff...
In recognition of this earth-shattering news, perhaps Ken should play that song about the guy whose ex-girlfriend says she'll get back together with him when they find Jimmy Hoffa. You know which one I mean.

Any of you guys think "Khlam" is etymologically related to "acclaim" & "clamor"?
Slim Whitman (which in my youth we basically knew from those commercials for his albums) was sorta the go-to name when you wanted to dog the other kids on the playground as square (what are you listening to - Slim Whitman?). Showing the cynicism of my generation from a young age as all the man was was a sincere and wonderful performer. Thank goodness for the ability to grow up a little :)
I remember those Slim Whitman commercials. Seems like he was even in them, pitching his compilations, if memory serves.
I also remember playing some of his records at the wrong speed and the yodeling sounded funny. I was overjoyed to see the use of his music in Mars Attacks. I wonder what he thought of that.
Dammit, Wednesdays better not be like this! Missed the whole show! So, gif roundup:
-Dave, oy. Dunno, first I thought it could've been from "The Man Who Causes a Storm", but that's not Yujiro Ishihara, so no. Actually, the drummer looks a lot like a young Takeshi Kitano, but he didn't have any young roles like that, so no again. I could see this being from a film of Hasebe, Nishikawa, Deme, Fukasaku or even Suzuki, but can't think of a specific one.
-Anyhoo, as I've said, "The Big Store"
-Bardot in "Babette Goes to War"
-hmm, not sure about the legs. Immediately brings to mind early Polanski, like "Knife in the Water" or "Cul-de-Sac", but I don't think it's either of those. Also reminds me of those island-bound Bergman movies, but probably not that either. And I ain't gonna start googling this stuff, so...
-"The Golem"
-okay, just had to go google the Chinese opera pic. Couldn't help myself. Apparently, it's a North Korean and Chinese soldier embracing in 1971's "Raid on the White Tiger Regiment". Hah! Apparently, the opera includes the rousing aria "Defeat The Imperialists, The Vicious Wolves." Isn't that a Khlam track?
-the fabulous Mabel Normand from her 1917 comedy with Fatty Arbuckle, "Fatty and Mabel Adrift"
-the seaside graves are from "Nosferatu"
-"Dream Twister" video from "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri" video game
-and finally, Coleen Gray in the carnival-based fabulousness that is "Nightmare Alley". Highly recommended!

The marching poodles are from "Babette Goes to War"? Anyway, I was more interested in how that was done technically than where it came from. It appears to be clever editing of a shot of real dogs with people in dog suits.
The Batman one I recognize from Web site SuperDickery.
