Wednesday Morning Hit Parade, Part 1: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:26am Ken:

Hello there, 6am Party People.

6:40am cory:

hola Mr. Ken. making coffee, want some?

7:11am cory:

politician tells paper they can't use his name www.utsandiego.com...

♥ 7:12am Ken:

Im fully caffeinated at least till 8am. Thanks Cory!

♥ 7:52am groucho:

Morning all. may I request Martha - 1997, Passing In The Hallway www.youtube.com... They're from my town (Durham, UK) and they're just children!

♥ 7:58am groucho:

I bought 4 pairs of 3d glasses btw! I saw some and thought of the show.

♥ 8:04am AnAnonymousParty:

Um, am I early?

♥ 8:29am Ken From Hyde Park:

I checked Beware Of The Blog recently. Seems like there isn't as much activity in there as there once was. No year-end favorite lists, for example. What does the future hold for the blog? Signed, Curious.

♥ 8:38am Ken:

Yeah, the blog will be shut down this year.

8:39am Robert:

Looks like Anacin commercials. Anybody read the hand signals (finger spelling)? Something like "fully now ....".

♥ 8:39am Ken:

Good on you Groucho! Those will come in handy.

8:42am Robert:

I didn't think until now to read the name of the finger spelling GIF: "happy new year".

8:44am Okasa:

A frosty good morning from the frozen tundra of the midwest. Brrrrrr......

♥ 8:49am Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks for answering my blog question. I'll miss it a little, but, honestly, I rarely went in to look at it.

8:55am P-90:

Greetings, Ken and pre-gamers.

8:55am Robert:

Same with me as Ken from Hyde. The few times I read Beware, I found things of interest, but it didn't often attract my att'n to begin with. Unfortunately the world is now so awash with text, it's not like when we were starving for belated info, as in the LCD/Blast of Hot Air days. But I do hope you or someone archives it.

8:57am cory:

Ken, do you have Nerf Herder's Doin Laundry?

8:58am P-90:

"Farewell of the Blog"

9:00am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

Happy New Jan 7th 2015, Ken, people!

♥ 9:05am Marcel M:

Morning people! Morn ken

♥ 9:06am common:

hello all, ken!

♥ 9:06am Marcel M:

A friend of mine just did a collaboration of sorts with Melvin Van Peebles

9:07am P-90:

Kevin McCarthy as "Station Manager":
"...and take that ridiculous blog OFF!"

9:08am jan:

Happy new year Ken and Kensters!

♥ 9:08am Ken:

I dont have that Nerf Herder track unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately.

♥ 9:10am Dan B From Upstate:

Hai shooga cooky!

9:10am hamburger:

still remember the time Andy wrote that blog post... ahh... memories... blog.wfmu.org...

9:11am The Blog:

What? Why? Was is something I did? Something I didn't do? I know, it's because I'm old, isn't it? What am I going to tell my wife and kids? How will I live? Bunch of greedy corporate bastards! I hope you choke to death on your lavish bonus checks while my family starves to death.

9:12am Alex:

I'm going nuts trying to find the source for that banana time gif from before the show. Where, oh where did that wonderful image come from?

♥ 9:12am Jeezy:

Kennnnnnn!
It's Jeezy!
I'm FINALLY ready to take you up on my legendary plus one in perpetuity for Monty Hall! (Don't worry: I live in Brooklyn, not TOO often.) What shall I do?! Will there be a permanent plaque up commemorating me at the venue?

♥ 9:14am Ken:

Jeezy - email me ! ken at yadda yadda yadda

9:17am Sarah Palin:

Ya got any of that dogstep the lamestream media is barking about?

9:18am Cheri Pi:

KILLLLLDOZZZZZZZZZZER!

9:18am P-90:

Kevin McCarthy as "Station Manager":
"Now that blog is begging like a dog: ARF!"

♥ 9:19am Rich in Washington:

i recently ruined the original One Tin Soldier for the missus by telling her the band who did it were real live Satanists.

9:19am Billy Jack:

What the hell is this shit?

♥ 9:21am Polyus:

On Wisconsin!

♥ 9:24am Dan B From Upstate:

I'd guess the most-starred song of all time is Fabio's theme.

♥ 9:25am Marcel M:

oh wow cool I wanna see the list

♥ 9:25am SeanG:

Is it the cover of "Wicked Game"??

♥ 9:25am common:

it isn't baby animal?

9:25am P-90:

The "Born Losers" meet "Knuckles, the Dog who Helps People." Far out, man.

9:26am steve:

heart of glass?

♥ 9:26am MD:

Freeform is MONEY Kid!!!!!
("Mime is Money Kid!!!")
Get It???

♥ 9:26am common:

good call seang!

♥ 9:26am Dan B From Upstate:

Ken's most favorited song is the foolish game cover by Les Reines Prochaines -- Opfer Dieses Liedes

♥ 9:26am Dan B From Upstate:

Not foolish game... wicked game.

♥ 9:27am Ken:

Sean G and Dan B nail it! Les Reines Prochaine's Wicked Game it is!

♥ 9:27am Dan B From Upstate:

High five, Sean G!

9:28am thedunkel:

#2 is "Hotcakes and Sausage" by Old Codger? www.youtube.com...

♥ 9:28am Jeezy:

OK, email sent, Ken. But I'm certain the comments community agrees a plaque would make the most sense?

9:28am Monday:

I've used the favorite song feature only to save good songs that I've heard on WFMU programs to be able to look them up later, so not really favourites

♥ 9:28am MD:

This is the Black Angel version of my dreams!!!!

♥ 9:28am SeanG:

High five, Dan B!

♥ 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park:

Courtney Barnett's "Avant Gardener" has plenty of stars. Which has more cumulative stars, the Eleanor Rigby or Bohemian Rhapsody covers?

♥ 9:29am Ken:

P90 - "Knuckles" is in the top 50! You all have GREAT taste. That is what the moneysong list proves!

♥ 9:30am MD:

OXY..... DREAMS...

9:30am Robert:

This is one I can stand to hear over & over, like someone's theme song.

9:30am Neg-guh-tor:

Knuckles was a good dog.

♥ 9:30am Ken:

Courtney Barnett's "Avant Gardener" is number 15.

9:32am Neg-guh-tor:

Saw Prince Rama in a tiny club here in Raleigh NC last Sept. They opened with this song. Magical thinking.

♥ 9:32am Dan B From Upstate:

I would've guessed this Prince Rama track was up there. Guess not, huh?

9:33am Neg-guh-tor:

They played a new song too!

♥ 9:33am Ken:

It is up there Dan. Im playing all the hits.

9:34am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

The PrinceRama song is somewhere in my top 100 favourite ones (and most of them have been found in this show!).

9:34am Mark S:

I hope "Doctor Bootygrabber" is one of the hits

♥ 9:36am groucho:

"playing all the hits" lol

♥ 9:36am Ken:

This song is number one, but it has multiple entries because it's always spelled differently...

♥ 9:36am common:

and good call dan!

♥ 9:36am groucho:

I love this so much. Carry on.

9:36am ohhh suuurr:

My daughter and I love this song.

♥ 9:36am Sem Chumbo:

Hi Ho, Ken, and all the hits.

9:37am Elisa In New York:

Sweet! Hi Ken! I'm in New York and no I'm not going to stalk you. :)

I've got better things to do like find a job.

9:37am GeesyCreesy:

@Mark S.- "Doctor Bootygrabber" is the number one hit in our hearts.

♥ 9:37am bobdoesthings:

good morning

9:37am Mark S:

Very true GeesyCreesy

9:38am KOTJ:

Heard Psychic TV's cover tribute to Interstellar Overdrive? www.youtube.com...

♥ 9:38am Ken:

Elisa, you just moved here?!

♥ 9:38am groucho:

first time I heard this was on this show, I dl'd it and played it to death til I hated it. Now I love it again. Thanks Ken

♥ 9:38am Dan B From Upstate:

Mrs. From Upstate hates the original version of this song. She hates this version even more. No idea what that's about.

9:38am P-90:

This is so demented. In a good way, but SO demented.

9:38am Melissa Rauch:

When did I do this?

9:38am Billy Jam:

morning Ken and fellow FMU fans

♥ 9:39am MD:

oh pLEASE mom!?!?!?

9:39am Cecile:

Hola!

9:39am EzSezz:

Sonic purity.

9:40am Sam:

Top of the morning to you Billy Jam!

9:40am Elisa In New York:

Yes! I got a scholarship and I'm going to study at BMCC starting at the end of Jan. How are you?

9:40am Cecile:

How's about some Angel Corpus Christi?

9:41am Cecile:

Hi Billy!

9:41am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

Let's play Darwin's radio game!!

Songs that have never been starred should be played once more. BUT if they don't get any star then they should be deleted/destroyed forever from the WFMU archives. Only the fittest songs should stay.

9:41am Billy Jam:

hello Cecile, Sam

♥ 9:42am groucho:

no fo fo

♥ 9:42am Ken:

Congrats Elisa and welcome! Its not always this cold.

♥ 9:43am MD:

40 DEG....Celsius???

♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

Number 14, here we come!

9:43am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

Ciao, Elisa from Italy now in New York looking for a job!!!!

How are you?!

♥ 9:43am common:

billy jam

♥ 9:44am Marcel M:

Now that I've heard this song a million times I kind of like it..

♥ 9:44am Dan B From Upstate:

Yep. 40 Celsius. Courtney is australian.

9:44am P-90:

Did Courtney B. make the list?

9:44am the Canterbury wood-elf:

@KOTJ Just checked that PTV cover. Weird how Gen has chosen to sing the (ill-fitting) lyrics of "Astronomy Domine" over it...

9:44am Bill Clinton:

I've had trouble inhaling too.

9:44am Elisa In New York:

⊄≎⊄≎ (: Fine! Thank you and you? I love, love NY. It's like Italy on steroids.

♥ 9:44am MD:

Ken..."Stops people from dying !"

♥ 9:45am Lizardner Dave:

Was that a dump there? There's no swearing in this song.

♥ 9:45am Jeezy:

I think you should know, Ken... You're arch-rivals at WFUV played this song a LOT. :-/

♥ 9:45am Jeezy:

*Your.... stupid auto-correct.

♥ 9:45am Ken From Hyde Park:

Fatal flaw - Avant Gardeneer only showing 4 stars. Is it pointing to a different database entry?

9:46am EzSezz:

Yeah but when's the last time FUV played H.A.T.R.E.D. by Tonio K.?

♥ 9:46am Sem Chumbo:

"emphyseming": noun to verb. In this instance, approved.

9:47am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

But groucho!

It's a great opportunity to get rid once and for all of all those songs featuring children signing like adult! See the potential of playing the Darwin's Radio Game?

♥ 9:48am Ken From Hyde Park:

Gerdener vs. Gardeneer (extra "e" in there)?

♥ 9:48am sinister dexter:

that song makes me cry

♥ 9:48am MD:

"AND THE HITS......JUST KEEP ON COMMIN!!!"

9:49am P-90:

Benvenuto a New York, Elisa! What are you taking at BMCC?

♥ 9:49am bobdoesthings:

my cat cut my thumb last night in the worst spot possible for working

♥ 9:50am bobdoesthings:

wait is this Ken's 'best of 2014' ?

♥ 9:50am groucho:

it's hard enough for me to trust DJ's to play things I'll like, I don't want it going to a public vote. Plus I like those creepy songs with children singing.

9:50am Sony BMG:

Yeah, that's right, we're assembling an entire team to logon and favorite THESE songs.

9:50am KOTJ:

@Canerbury....it's weirdly appealing and equally annoying... Genesis being Genesis.

9:51am Wilson K:

Courtney Barnett is totally, unequivocally, the worst of the worst

9:51am Billy Jam:

Ken - I hear you on emotional pain of losing records to flooding.....morning Common

♥ 9:52am SeanG:

this song is the best

♥ 9:52am groucho:

Though I am in favour of this list being a yearly thing. I just listened to this year's Festive 50 (previously a John Peel thing, now it's done by Dandelion Radio in the UK) I like that. a yearly 'best of wfmu' thing does tickle my pickle a little

9:52am Cecile:

Where's Dr Bootygrabber in all this?

9:52am adrian in mpls:

@bobdoesthings - it's Ken's most clicky-starred hits

♥ 9:52am Dan B From Upstate:

I'll star nearly any version of Eisbar.

♥ 9:53am Vivian:

I have to give some love to that Courtney Barnett song.

9:53am P-90:

@bobdoes: What, he like grabbed an X-acto knife with his paws and shanked you? Was his bowl empty or something?

♥ 9:53am Ken From Hyde Park:

How many Jandek cuts in the list?

♥ 9:53am Marcel M:

Ken, is the number one song the one you've play the most?

♥ 9:54am Ken:

Marcel - hell no!

♥ 9:54am Andrew Waterloo:

I've never really used the 'favourite' button as a 'favourite' button. It's always been more of a 'that was interesting' button.

9:55am Will X:

Where does Tuxedomoon fall on the list? You play that thing all the time.

♥ 9:55am Vivian:

Khlam has to hold at least two spots in the top 15, right?

9:55am Volcano:

You've never ha to deal with me. You should see what I do to vinyl! lol!

♥ 9:57am Ken:

Yes, Khlam does represent. Will X, TuxedoWHO?

9:57am Wilson K:

This is starting to sound like Irwin's show. Please get your mind right and play "Baby Animal" OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

♥ 9:57am bobdoesthings:

@p-90 - nahhh I was fucking with him.. one of his right jabs caught my thumb..

♥ 9:57am Ken:

Baby Animal barely made the list!

9:58am Mark S:

Well since 50 people favorited "No Tears" by Tuxedomoon I'll bet it's in the top 5.

♥ 9:59am Stevel:

Its TuxedoWHOOM, I believe.

9:59am Eisbär:

werde ich Ihr reccords mit Leidenschaft und Wut verwüsten

♥ 9:59am Dan B From Upstate:

I use the stars differently for different categories. Songs - If found it interesting. Shows - It's my favorite show. Same with people. Episodes of shows I star if someone I know calls in.

9:59am Wilson K:

The list is flawed! Baby Animal is elysium! I walk around my apartment saying "Koo koorikoo" looking for baby animals!

9:59am Cecile:

Dr Bootygrabber!

♥ 10:00am Stevel:

Whereforth art thou, Rammstein?

10:01am Cecile:

Wilson, you are 1,000,000 percent spot on.

♥ 10:01am Ken:

Stevel, please never post about grammar again. Thank you.

♥ 10:01am Andrew Waterloo:

we need that monologue about cigarettes.

♥ 10:01am Ken:

OK foilks, when I play 'Baby Animal' today, you know what to do.

♥ 10:02am Andrew Waterloo:

I vote we change "favourite" to "click"

10:02am Cecile:

kooooookooooorikikoookoookoooooooo

♥ 10:02am bobdoesthings:

no I don't.. what do we do?!

♥ 10:03am amanda c:

only half paying attention to the message board because i'm working, but has anyone requested "crazy horses" played at the wrong speed? i think that's one of my favorite songs that ken plays.

10:04am Cecile:

right on, amanda.

♥ 10:04am Sem Chumbo, a foilk:

I am with bob^.

10:04am Okasa:

Can we look forward to a show that features the most starred images?

10:04am Cecile:

BOOTYGRABBER

10:04am Wilson K:

Eeeeeet waz a baaaaaaby ah-nee-mahl

♥ 10:04am Polyus:

Ditto the Jimmy Castor Bunch 'Troglodyte' 45 played at 33 rpm.

♥ 10:05am bobdoesthings:

@amanda c - Nahhh... b/c we don't make requests.

10:05am Billy Jam:

hah ha

10:06am Robert:

Oh, drone. For a second my heart nearly stopped as I was afraid Ken was going to attempt cluster ballooning again. Please no, Ken, we love you too much. Drones, OK.

♥ 10:06am Webhamster Henry:

I thought you smashed your drone to bits?

♥ 10:07am Ken From Hyde Park:

I wanted to hear some drone music.

♥ 10:08am Ken:

Got a NEW drone Henry! I shall not be stopped so easily.

10:11am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

Elisa,

I'm fine, thanks. Good in bocca al lupo luck in NY.

♥ 10:12am Ken From Hyde Park:

Governor Chris C should bring you to Green Bay with him on Sunday.

♥ 10:12am βrian:

Now, is this a bagpipe drone we're talking about?

♥ 10:13am Whosondephone:

Now we're talkin!

10:13am Billy Jam:

for a moment I thought this track was going to be Flipper

♥ 10:13am bobdoesthings:

clicky starring this whole damn episode..

♥ 10:14am Marcel M:

I second that Bob

♥ 10:14am bobdoesthings:

it's weird that they're called "episodes"

♥ 10:18am Dan B From Upstate:

Wow. That gif/song combo is perfect.

10:18am Cecile:

Hahahhaaaaaasahajhooooooo

♥ 10:19am AnAnonymousParty:

lol

♥ 10:19am Jeezy:

Ah. I still have the live Flipper double LP set that folds out into a depraved board game.

10:21am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

This is the official WFMU's drone song.

10:21am the Canterbury wood-elf:

flying sideways thru time (in my orgone accumulator) to this one...

♥ 10:21am Ken:

Sorry f0f0, the WFMU Drone is white. Maybe I should spray paint it silver?

♥ 10:22am redkayak:

Hawkwind!

10:22am Cybermen:

We ARE a big silver machine.

♥ 10:22am bobdoesthings:

@canterbury,... I thought you were making up words... inventors.about.com...

10:22am the Canterbury wood-elf:

@Ken can the WFMU Drone "fly sideways through time" though?

10:23am Daleks:

STFU

♥ 10:23am PKNY:

Lemmy + wind tunnel sound effects = AWESOME

10:24am the Canterbury wood-elf:

@bob Reich's OA was the subject of another Hawkwind classic from this era

♥ 10:24am Andrew Waterloo:

There's a live Flipper set on Youtube where the bassist ends up finishing the set with Genesis P-orrige's bass.

♥ 10:24am bobdoesthings:

I'm learning so much

10:24am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

Ken,

Yes,please! Paint it silver, and brand it "Silver Machine". It will be the envy of all other radio stations.

10:24am Cheri Pi:

post that vid AW!

♥ 10:25am Jeezy:

I almost saw Genesis (Gena now) last week at Brooklyn Bazaaar. But logistical challenges prevailed.

♥ 10:26am Marcel M:

I saw psychic TV cover Silver machine when I was in Paris in September

♥ 10:27am common:

brothers...sisters!

♥ 10:28am Michael:

Just saw this on TCM last week and all I could think of is this.

♥ 10:28am Dan B From Upstate:

Pretty sure it's one of Ken's favorites, but I'm curious if Shoop by Salt N Peppa has drawn star-clicks from listeners.

♥ 10:28am Sem Chumbo:

Hey, people, look at my puffy shirt.

10:30am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

This is the show where a fan in the crowd is killed, right?

♥ 10:31am Vivian:

Yes, Altamont.

♥ 10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Who has carrot cake?

♥ 10:31am Polyus:

The Angels beat up Marty Balin!

♥ 10:32am bobdoesthings:

syph happens.

10:32am 'Scar Madison:

I luv Flex Unger.

10:33am P-90:

@bobdoes: yes, orgone accumulators are real, "WFMU drones" may be only hypothetical

♥ 10:33am Sem Chumbo:

@Polyus: perhaps they heard an early version of "We Built This City."

♥ 10:34am Andrew Waterloo:

@Cherri Pi, looks like the video suffered a take down notice.

♥ 10:34am rsj:

a benefit for the worthy fraction of humanity

♥ 10:34am Sem Chumbo:

@P-90: gotta box yourself, I guess?

10:35am KOTJ:

I'm imagining the portly knee slapper gif with the toe tapper beneath him. It's my own private riot.

10:35am P-90:

Note to self: complete new lyrics for "Baby Elephant Walk" by end of 2015

♥ 10:37am Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

But I Luv Ding!

♥ 10:37am Andrew Waterloo:

PTV did use the lyrics from Astronomy Domine.

10:38am george:

Sure what about 10:10

♥ 10:39am Ken:

Ah that's right Andrew, they did. Oh well. I thought they just pulled new lyrics out of their butt.

♥ 10:39am Andrew Waterloo:

terrible news in France...

10:40am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

You know what else should be available for starring? the soundbites. I'd star Ms. McWiggan, Eric Bogosian, The Nhilist Spasm.., etc. Melon inquirers, although they get all my sympathies, would not get any star from me thou.

10:41am Cheri Pi:

No no, I thought I heard some improvised scat singing in there too Ken

♥ 10:41am bobdoesthings:

I like it when I go to clicky star and its already been clicky starred. this is the best show ever!

10:42am Cecile:

Oh, no! Andrew that is terrible news.

10:42am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

AW, Ken, Andy,

Best not to play Chicken Jihad.

♥ 10:43am Andrew Waterloo:

Speaking of Nihilist Spasm Band, turns out Bill Exley taught Malcolm Gladwell in high school. www.thestar.com...

10:44am tonyb:

klaus dinger and japandorf's "cha cha 2008"
turned my head every time you played it!

♥ 10:49am Ken:

Yes, we will not be playing 'Jihad Chicken' tonight. Did they catch the fuckers who did it?

♥ 10:50am AnAnonymousParty:

Mmmm, I love Chicken Jihad over rice. But I put a little bacon in mine.

10:50am KP:

I never star but will do one for Earthless.

10:51am KOTJ:

Houellebecq's last novel, The Map and The Territory, maybe now be his near prophecy.

♥ 10:51am groucho:

I'm crap at starring imgur.com...

10:51am KOTJ:

10:54am paula pc:

A Killdozer two-fer? Count me in!!!!!

10:55am Tumeric Girl:

Cinnamon Girl is a ho

♥ 10:56am rsj:

it's not t-bone, but i'll take it.

10:56am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

paula pc,
I bet there's at least one more to go. The one about the dog.

10:56am Cardamom Girl:

Yea? Well you stink, Turmeric Girl

♥ 10:57am βrian:

That T-bone jpeg looks a bit like Wisconsin.

10:57am Spice Girlz:

Oh no you didnt

♥ 10:58am βrian:

"Are you my cardamommy?"

10:58am P-90:

Rosemary Clooney:
You're all nothing but a bunch of imitators

11:00am the apostrophe:

Ken you are the apple of my esophagus

♥ 11:01am βrian:

Rosemary Clooney and Basil Rathbone would've been the ideal couple.

11:01am P-90:

"Kicked out of the Beatles"? What about my Uncle Clyde, who kicked John, Paul and Stu out of HIS band?

11:02am P-90:

and George too I think

11:02am the Canterbury wood-elf:

@βrian Yeah, Wisconsin with Door County amputated (I spent nine years roughly where that nose is).

11:03am parsly sage rosemary and peaches and herb albert:

What?

11:04am peaches and herb albert:

This is a delicious show

♥ 11:04am Asheville Jon:

daughter: "Daddy, this music is weird."
me: "yes, I know. do you like it?"
daughter: "yes! yes, I do!"

♥ 11:04am βrian:

@CW Elf: Stevens Point?

11:06am the Canterbury wood-elf:

@βrian Yes indeed!

11:08am table lamp:

Love yoko ono backgound

♥ 11:12am βrian:

@CW Elf: Well, given there don't seem to be any correctional facilities there, I'm guessing something to do with UW? Hopefully a good experience.

♥ 11:12am Marcel M:

Gotta run, great show today Ken!

♥ 11:14am bobdoesthings:

byemarcel!

11:16am Fashion Tashjian:

Holy gifs, Batman!

11:16am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

I was going to say REportaz song sounded a lot like Milano per Caso.

♥ 11:16am Rick from SC:

Reminds me of Vanilla Bean

11:17am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

Milano per Caso is somewhere in my top 100 favourite songs. For sure it is in my top 10 favourite instrumental songs.

11:17am Hercule Piorot:

Agatha Christie they're playing our song

♥ 11:17am Ken:

Vanilla Bean era maybe - this was the Theme Song for The Immigrant, aka Dan Behrman.

11:18am Parq:

Rick from SC, is that why this is familiar? I just knew I recognized it.

♥ 11:19am Rick from SC:

@Parq: It was his in theme when he on Sunday nights (I think)

11:19am Parq:

Ah, the Immigrant. He also liked to introduce himself with that Eric Burdon song about relocating to the US.

♥ 11:20am Rick from SC:

My memory failed me

11:21am ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

Did somebody noticed Ken has perfect taste for instrumental songs?

11:23am Jim Neighhhhhhbors:

This is delightful

11:23am the Canterbury wood-elf:

@βrian In retrospect, it could have been worse. Parents moved there, so I had little say in the matter. There was a bit of a hardcore scene in the late 80s and WWSP (college radio) kept me sane at that time (Reagan years). But i was desperate to get away, and did as soon as legally possible. Still got friends in those parts, tho' (and on the Isthmus).

♥ 11:24am Roberto:

Sweaty Freddy -- one of my favorites from my earliest days of Ken listening.

♥ 11:24am Asheville Jon:

i don't think this song will get the ladies dropping their panties anytime soon

♥ 11:25am Roberto:

Back then it was known as "Track 10" I think.

♥ 11:25am Roberto:

Yay! Drugs Drugs Drugs. And Drugs!

Tonetta's finest moment.

♥ 11:26am SeanG:

Wow. There's an astounding amount of Der Kommissar covers.

♥ 11:34am Roberto:

Der Kommissar ist gut! It's one of those songs that I didn't realize how great it was when it came out.

11:35am Charleston Heston:

I find my self strangely ... aroused by this song.

♥ 11:37am Rich in Washington:

wow~ That Betty gif really works with this Puffy song.

11:38am Parq:

I can't stop looking at the Bettie gif. It looks like someone I know -- that's probably, much like in that BR5-49 song, because she's so very familiar.

11:41am Cheri Pi:

Ken, your next cat should be named Sandwiches.

@Ken - My friend tried to get into the work program to be one of the people who goes around to play music to patients.. he didn't pass the drug test though.. partially my fault too..

11:48am PMD:

Alive inside - thanks for the info! Interesting to know how many keep earphones on their heads given they often don't like it

Can't believe I forgot about recommending Sausage Samba for the video show.

11:53am pierre:

Guys, i'm sad, I don't know what to say…
But we must keep our humor and strength facing this.

And love, we must love !

♥ 11:53am Rich in Washington:

for some reason, this song brings to mind Killdozer's Going To The Beach.

♥ 11:54am Sem Chumbo:

Just the thing for a day featuring 273.15 degrees Kelvin here in Nova Scotia. Thanks, coolio Ken.

At last! With the Baby Animal behind me, I can move on.

Baby Animal is the cuddliest and cutest baby animal out there except when he threatens to kill you if you play him the melody again.

♥ 12:06pm Ken:

Ed - No, Buddy Scott Trio CD did not get destroyed in the floods.

12:08pm ⊄≎⊄≎ (:

This song makes you think Duane is in control now. But no, no, no...It's none other than our deceptive friend, Kommisar Ken!

♥ 12:10pm Ken:

Duane has arrived! Bye everybody!
