Listener comments!

🚽

6:53am -Ken:

It's gonna be light on new GIFs today but at least I made it back today which was not a given..

🚽

7:26am Ken From Hyde Park:

Glad to see you back, sir. Did you hear that Google changed their logo the other day? It's chaos out there!

7:36am P-90:

Welcome home to the Prodigal Ken. Was return not a "given" because travel was slow? Or did tbe Women of the Continent conspire to keep you around a little longer? You rougue you.

7:38am P-90:

And that particular D. Trump photo is literally the most creepiest thing I've seen in months. Deeply, darkly creepy.

7:48am cory:

welcome back Ken. hope you enjoyed your time off.

8:07am fəfə (:

Kommissar Ken!! Wilkommen back!!

Hello everybody!

8:23am Listener Robert:

Did you get to Super Happy Fun Land in Houston? Brown Mtn.? Blowing Rock?

🚽

8:24am -Ken:

No, sorry Robert, didn't make it to any of those.

8:25am jan:

So glad that you are back! Spent part of last night fast forwarding the rerun of Miley Cyrus on MTV.Having seen pageantry like that, I have strong expectations for your gifs. As for the music on that show- I watched it to see what I've been missing in commercial
pop music- not much.

8:25am Listener Robert:

Did you make it out of NJ?

8:37am fəfə (:

And, by the way, why you went on the run, Ken?

🚽

8:38am -Ken:

Robert, you truly are one of the kings of the unintentional insult. I guess you can't help it.

8:42am Marcel M:

Welcome back Ken!

🚽

8:42am -Ken:

Sorry Jan, very light on new GIFs today.. barely here by the skin of my teeth.

8:47am Michael:

Welcome back, Ken. Hope the trip was fun!

8:52am cory:

neat cassette story

🚽

8:58am -Ken:

Cory, did you mean to include a link?

8:59am SeanG:

I missed you KEN!

8:59am Marcel M:

I just realized what was happening in that above photo.... it is wonderfully frightening

9:00am Losermom:

I missed the Ken show! Now I feel whole, again.

9:01am cory:

it was the one you shared lemme find it

9:01am cory:

www.bloomberg.com...

9:01am egal:

I hope there's mask of that woman available for Halloween.

9:02am pierre:

I love this song, I love WFMU, Bonjour Ken !

9:03am MD:

Happy WFMU Day All!!!!

9:03am MD:

The baby is stunned to realize that Trump's hair is the same color as face

9:09am MD:

""How Much For the Child? I am a businessman you after all!"

9:11am fəfə (:

Ken,

About your trip...Did you started a fight in a bar, drove west till your car run out of gas, torched it whilst playing the departure album from The Doors? Are you a rider of the storm yet ?

9:11am MD:

It's the Mom's face that really Freaks me out!

🚽

9:12am -Ken:

Thanks for the welcome backs everybody!

9:13am MD:

Ken...Was Wally World Open???

9:14am MD:

And welcome Back...."Mr Cartier!!!!"

🚽

9:16am -Ken:

Alas, I did not make it to Wally World, and I am not a rider on the storm. Made it to Virginia, New Orleans, the Gulf of Mexico in Cajun Country, Austin, New Mexico, the Grand Canyon and Canyonlands in Utah.

9:17am Murakami Whywolf:

On viewing that first image:

0.) Bigoted, nativist, lout? Check.
1.) Says things other bigoted, nativist, louts feel too timid to say, and loved for it? Check.
2.) Entertaining to those that like him, loathesome to those who don't.? Check.
3.) Programme vague but truculent, basically right-wing but will back bits of left-supported benefits---as long as such go only for the right people? Check.
4.) Exaggerates plight of the nation, but promises to make it 'great' again? Check.
5.) Not stupid, but maniacally grandiose and egomaniacal? Check.
7.) Considered so absurd and outré that he has no chance at power? Check.

Sorry, I have always tried to avoid tripping the Godwin alarms, but this guy scares me.

9:18am Michael:

Where in NM, Ken? Going out there Saturday.

9:18am MD:

....I remember the gulf of Mexico....remember when there was fish and life in it???
Oh! Those were the days!!!!

9:19am pierre:

just for information (I just searched) the track "I Miss You" is on the magnificent FreeMusicArchive

9:19am Bronwyn Bishop:

I like this. Kind of a Morphine feel

9:19am Cheri Pi:

EX!

🚽

9:20am -Ken:

I went to White Sands for a day. There were PLENTY of fish in the Gulf! They were biting me and stuff.

🚽

9:20am AnAnonymousParty:

@ Ken, gif sent your way.

9:20am pierre:

… and stuff ? What kind of stuff are we talking about ?

🚽

9:22am -Ken:

You know, biting and leaping out of the water and generally carrying on.

🚽

9:23am -Ken:

BUT, there was a sign warning me not to go into the water due to eColi, but people were ignoring it, and I did not get sick. Well I did get sick but that was from a fish taco at White Sands.

9:23am fəfə (:

pierre!

Yesterday I had an epiphany while listening to the french band Air and realised you are one of the guys from the band!!!! You gotta believe me!

9:23am Roberto:

Oh hai Ken, welcome back.

9:24am thedunkel:

I hope the Brass Unbound showup for the EX in october!

9:25am pierre:

this is how I imagine you Ken : www4.pictures.zimbio.com...

9:25am fəfə (:

Ken,

Serious question, what was the band/song you played the most whilst travelling?

9:25am pierre:

@fəfə : hahahah oui ? which one ?

9:26am Cheri Pi:

LOL Pierre

9:27am fəfə (:

The one that speaks French obviously.

9:27am MD:

3-eyed fish!!!!

9:29am Listener Robert:

Ken, "Did you make it out of NJ" was shtick. Hyperbole humor. (Like someone says, "I didn't set any speed record getting here." And your comeback is, "Did you remember to start the engine?") It was intentional, but as a gag, not an insult, sorry.

9:33am Bronwyn Bishop:

That reminds me of the time I watched Time Bandits and the disk was corrupted so the film started glitching and turning green and the movie was so weird I thought it was part of the film.

9:33am Listener Robert:

So, did you bring us back any realities recorded w your umbrella-mic? Or surreptitiously (probably violating the laws of whatever state you were in)?

Bring back any pix? Ms. Trudel brings us back photos from everywhere.

🚽

9:33am Webhamster Henry:

I liked those glitches - Nic Collins used to do CD glitch concerts, so it was kind of nostalgic to me.

9:34am V Priceless:

ALICE! Heya Ken/peeps!

9:35am Marcel M:

AHHH! YEA! A girl with a job AND a car would solve that right quick! hahahha

9:36am MD:

How About 2 Dads???

9:36am Bronwyn Bishop:

Gotta love Alice

9:36am fəfə (:

Thanks, Ken. My favourites landscapes are those of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas et al. The largest desert in the continent.

9:36am MD:

Or 2 Moms!?!?

9:36am Marcel M:

Wow... what a perfect road trip song. Were you expecting something so epic FOFO?

9:37am redkayak:

Good morning all :)

9:37am Bronwyn Bishop:

I'm looking for a school with a job and a gun

🚽

9:37am Vivian:

Welcome back Ken! Your road trip sounds wonderful. Arizona has amazing trails.

9:38am rsj:

How many plays 3/day?

🚽

9:38am Vivian:

That lady looks like she's going to bite Trump's face off!

9:41am Andrew Waterloo:

Is "My mom was a the subject of a disparaging Internet Meme" a future, or already happened subject for an afternoon talk show?

9:42am cory:

is Sigh the most emo band name ever?

9:44am Marcel M:

@Cory: No, I think Sunny Day Real Estate is.

9:44am Bronwyn Bishop:

I'm not gonna lie, that last little riff reminded me of the Powerpuff Girls theme song

9:45am cory:

Fun.?

9:45am Marcel M:

Did Sigh always have the virtuoso thrash guitar shredding? I feel like I don't remember that from earlier records but its been a very long time..

9:48am Cheri Pi:

Motorhead meets Fugazi?

9:52am Bronwyn Bishop:

9:53am PKNY:

When it comes to "The Nile Song", I don't mind having my Floyd Void filled.

9:53am MD:

PINK!

9:53am Mark R:

This is the least Pink Floyd Floyd song I think I've ever heard!

🚽

9:53am -Ken:

Anybody know the record label for this Pink Floyd album? It's reporting week.. and i DO want David Gilmour to get our check for 89 cents.

9:54am fredr:

Ibiza Bar was always my favorite of their "crunch rock" efforts.

9:54am Marcel M:

I recently discovered that David Gilmour discovered Kate Bush

9:54am PKNY:

VVOOOOOOIIIIIVVVVOOOOODDDDDD!!

🚽

9:54am -Ken:

ditto for this Voivod album...

9:54am cory:

i'm sure he could put the money towards another boat/recording studio

9:55am Roberto:

Nile Song is as good as Sydless PF gets.

9:55am Bronwyn Bishop:

@Marcel: that was nice of him.

9:55am Whooda:

Just showing up is 90% of the task, they say. Thanks for being here. Since you made it back so soon I am guessing you didn't wait around in line for Frankin BBQ in Austin.

9:55am MD:

syd!!!

9:55am Mark R:

I see what you're doing...the Floyd sounds like Voivod and the Voivod sounds like Floyd.

9:56am V Priceless:

Pink Vod!

🚽

9:56am -Ken:

No, in Austin I mostly hung out near Lake Travis. Tried to avoid downtown.

9:56am PKNY:

@Ken --> is the Voivod info you'd need listed on the Discogs page --> www.discogs.com...

🚽

9:56am -Ken:

Seriously though, if anybody can help me with these missing record labels, it would be highly appreciated.

9:56am V Priceless:

...or Void Floyd is way better!

9:57am Mark S:

Pink Floyd - Capitol

9:57am Mark R:

The Floyd is on EMI, sir.

9:57am Whooda:

That child in the pic looks like he's thinking, " Holy shite, these two creeps expect to control my future"

9:57am fəfə (:

On behalf of Cheri Pi

VOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

9:58am Mark R:

Surfin Jack Flash info Copyright - Alan Jenkins / Cordelia Records

11:40am YETI BOB:

Ken: In the "Miller's Cave" song there were 2 murders (he shoots his wife and her lover and their bones are in the cave). In "Who's Going to Sleep With Me Tonight" I think the ghost comes in the car and the frightened driver/narrator crashes - thus fulfilling the ghost's spooky prophecy (?)

11:41am lins:

I love this marching band music!

11:41am Santos L Halper:

Caught the tail end of Jimmy Hoffa; went to HS w/that guy. (T Wilson, not Hoffa ; )
Nice to have you back SMKen.

11:44am Murakami Whywolf:

I was wondering what the Korean (I guess---any other language use hangul? ) image of the sick baby read, so I fed the image into Google Translate. It didn't recognise the syllabary symbols well, some of them only parts of them, and claimed those bits read 'sounds ridiculous'. Honestly: 말도들리.
