We shall commence discussing the Questlove memoir after we resolve all issues surrounding the forthcoming Broadway musical about Tupac, which is called "Holler Back at ME, Mister White MAN?"
Auditions have not even begun, except that Tupac has already been cast and shall be played by Channing Tatum. Except that the child Tupac will be played by Jaden Smith.
Morning Kennites, Drove through CT last night. Turned on WPKN in Bridgeport( The Spazz's first station). They actually had a good freeform-ish show on. Lo & Behold, HAWKWIND. DJ talked about their upcoming NEast tour. No Khlam though.
KevinfromBayRidge, im from LI and love WPKN. Ive recently moved to city and of course cant get it over air but still check in on net (and still pledge). By way, i still cant get WFMU over air even though I'm now only 10 miles from JC.

@Ken- Fascinating article in the current New Yorker about Lime disease-and elsewhere I read that people are retrieving the computer pills at the other end of the alimentary canal for reuse.
So, 2 minutes before I start my commute (unless the boss shows up at the last minute like last week and I end up hauling sofas when I should be leaving...), so: hello all! Tried to post a quick gif check last Wednesday when I finally got to my home laptop, so check that out if you want.
- I requested SimplySaucer; must be part of the 'I only do AntiRequests' thang - they can be done but then must be attributed to another? It's an arcane & opaque phenomenon - perhaps best left to HeartyWhite to ruminate & expound upon...
...straining pee to catch a kidneystone was bad enuff
...once you find this thing in your poo - you have to swallow that again??...
Yeah KP, Spent a good part of later youth(70's) listening to PKN . I guess it was a gateway, along with the very early WPLJ, to becoming an FMU listener. Sorry about the bad reception, lucky that I'm in a decent WFM zone in BR.
Wonder if anyone has checked time lapse differences on FMu signal via air, computer and through iphone. Right now i have latter two working and they are not even close.

Hey, I just noticed that if you click an image it zooms in within the window frame! Perhaps it has been around for some time but nevertheless it's a great feature.
- often (?) arrows in bottom Right & it gets even bigger. Perhaps if you keep Clicking it just goes on; due to nature of Ken's images, no one has been brave enuff to try...
KP - I'll often stream at home from two different devices and they're never in sync. From Air to Webs depends on encoding time plus aggregation thru a CDN plus the seven seconds of delay for FCC I think..
...& you can drag images around too - unfortunately not into the Comments column if one Posts something dumb...Does JoeFrank use CurdDoca? Cons & Inmates get very Pedantic & Moralistic...
Yes, the FCC Dump Button is a 20 second across the board delay, and then there is the web latency which can be an additional 2 seconds to three minutes...
- still - times change: in the 50s when your car was overtaken by a herd of running theropod dinosuars - you could never *tell* anyone...things were Black&White then...
I read the FCC created the National Radio Quiet Zone years ago to let the NSA and other intelligence agencies snoop on us all! So it's ok for them to check us in real time AND not ok for us to listen to the radio in real time??! Indeed. Speak to me what's wrong with America.
- so we got what are supposedly the ultimate nine experts in the entire country on Legal & Constitutional matters of titanic import in the lives of us all
- & they keep coming up w/ 5-4 opinions...
The test of time can be cruel. Revisiting certain mid-period Tangerine Dream records I loved as an early teenager now produce quite the stinkface on my stinkface.
I saw that yesterday, Ken, and it made my day. Thank you. Also, I like the new twitter feed on the homepage. I missed it for the period when it wasn't there and was about to email you...then like magick, it reappeared.
@KOTJ - I worked at a florist close to where Hudson was laid out in '91. Delivered flowers to the open trailer where he was on display. Needless to say he looked like a melted candle that someone stuck a head into...
Rabbit....Sadly Hudson didn't eat both when he had a chance. Dave B. There's a wax sculpture of hudson so...melted candle is perfect. a2.ec-images.myspacecdn.com... When he was discovered I was obsessed with him as much as Ken fans and Khlam.
It's not Paula Deen related, but I read a pretty great joke the other day. How do you tell the difference between a plumber and a chemist? Ask them to pronounce the word unionized.
My doctor just called and asked me to come in for a colonoscopy. I asked him what was wrong with me. He said nothing was wring but he wanted to see what the inner workings of a champion looked like.
...nothing inspires yucks like the shooting death of an unarmed fleeing minority youth by a man that's on tape being told by the police *not* to pursue him & was known to the police for his annoying calls...
- not funny? It's all in the timing I guess...
Sagan smoked dope near-daily, and claimed to have had insights on it that were still good the next morning. Hawking had a reputation as a party animal, albeit on Oxbridge scales, albeit in the early '70s. Clarke always seemed like a Scotch man to me.

Fº Fº (:
Thanks, Ken. Now I get the joke. I hope you don't include it in your own stand-up comedy act.
Z's lawyer should have followed up with, "If the joke is shit, you must acquit." People would actually have found that funny. And he'd have been slapped with an actual contempt cite.
Oh, hating these commutes, keep missing Ken! Anyhoo, superspeedy gif check:
-Not sure about the shadows. Reminiscent of the “Pettin’ in the Park” number in “Gold Diggers of 1933” or the start of “The Kid from Spain”, but those silhouettes were nowhere this blurry, so nope.
-Ballet movie “Evidentia” again
-The dancer? Looks terribly familiar (although I’m not sure if that’s just because Ann Miller wore the same type of outfit while dancing with a broken back in “Easter Parade”). If it was worse quality, I’d suspect a stag film.
-The end of “Destination Moon” (kinda boring, but let’s face it, paved the way for Kubrick and others)
-“You The Living”
-combo of “Psycho” and “Jurassic Park”
-I assume that’s Honey Boo Boo’s mom June behind the mask.
-“Single Ladies” video
-Cocteau’s “The Blood of a Poet”
-Aagh! This gif again with the 3-4 people I recognise, but which I can’t ID. Damn you beatniks!
-“We Lived in Grass”
-“Spies”
Oh, Dave, just this morning I thought to myself, “Hang on, why did I think of Japan for that drummer?” And then thought of the Shaw bros. Of course, you don’t have to believe this, but now I’m irritated it didn’t occur to me before.
11:55am
common:
love the bad news. adrian edmonson...or whatever his name is. funny personage.
Oh hey, Dave B, I just realised that the guy who directed "King Drummer" also directed the drumming movie I first thought of, "Man Who Causes a Storm"! I see a pattern forming...
