Listener comments!

🚽

6:26am -Ken:

Morning folks!

7:18am redkayak:

Happy Wednesday!

🚽

7:52am AnAnonymousParty:

I really want BBQ today, but my feet hurt. What can I do?

7:52am Jack Tourette:

I can't believe it's already December.

🚽

7:54am AnAnonymousParty:

@Jack, your disbelief is not unfounded.

🚽

8:14am Ken From Hyde Park:

I can't believe it's still November.

🚽

8:16am -Ken:

Anonymous, get some ribs delivered.

🚽

8:29am AnAnonymousParty:

Well, I guess that's ONE solution.

8:29am Listener Robert:

Did the dolphin & dog cartoon precede the live action video now making the rounds?

8:29am Mark S:

go to Jones BBQ and foot massage!

🚽

8:31am -Ken:

Robert, usually the video precedes the GIFfery,

8:34am Listener Robert:

-Ken, I mean the source of the GIF. Did someone make a cartoon to match the live action vid? I imagine you've seen the live action vid, it's about 3 mins., a friend e-mailed it to me a few days ago, so I'm assuming it's viral.

🚽

8:36am -Ken:

Ah, now I understand. I don't know but my guess is that yeah, somebody cartoonized the viral video and then somebody gif-ified the cartoon.

8:44am Marcel M:

Good morning Ken and friends.

8:49am P-90:

Good Morning Ken, friends, dolphins, and dogs.

8:50am Dogs:

Woof!

8:51am Dolphins:

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

8:52am Friends:

We'll be there for you.

9:00am Losermom:

Whew I just made it!

🚽

9:02am Ken From Hyde Park:

I can't believe believe it's already 9:00.

9:07am Le obsessive-compulsive french monsieur:

Good morning guys.
I just wanted to say this band is not called Besoin D-a- but Besoin Dead, which is a play on the phrase "Besoin d'aide", which "Need help";
I never thought i would hear this band on WFMU one day. Thanks !

9:08am thedunkel:

BonJour Ken, amis, dauphins, plus chiens!

9:08am Stéphane:

Merci Ken ! Stéphane (Oui : "Besoin Dead")

9:09am MD:

Good Morning Planet WFMU....

9:09am MD:

Cous....IT!!!!

🚽

9:10am -Ken:

Oh good - thanks for explaining the name of the band Besoin Dead. I didnt know the real meaning of that other than "need dead" which was not in good taste right about now.

9:11am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

@ kEN & ALL-Good Morning! I guess you all heard maybe that Anonymous hacker group has declared war on Isis...which I think is really cool and old school for a 21st century group to do....

9:12am Cheri Pi:

Je l'aime Ken!

9:15am Brendan:

Good morning Ken and the royal order of the Canidae

9:17am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Who has carrot cake?

9:17am Brendan:

And Bovidae listenership

9:17am Marcel M:

My wife knows this song and she is dancing around.

9:18am MD:

kEN....yOU ARE THE kING OF THE dEKVON!!!

9:18am MD:

DEVON!

9:20am cory:

great soundtrack to fallout 4, ken. you should be a dj! ;)

9:21am Cheri Pi:

Divan!

9:22am Losermom:

Wow, Eagles of Death Metal. Never heard of them until Friday.

9:22am Roberto:

Oh wow...this song has taken on an entirely new meaning, hasn't it.

🚽

9:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'd celebrate by making some French toast, but my stove is kind of busted. The burners aren't regulating. They only go full blast and would scorch things.

9:28am Marcel M:

When I read the first report I read that, "A Death Metal Band" had been playing.

🚽

9:30am -Ken:

When I tuned in MSNBC last Friday night, Brian Williams was explaining in great detail that Eagles of Death Metal are NOT a metal band.

9:30am bobdoesthings:

good morning!

9:30am Marcel M:

This Liminanas is great.

Morning Bob.

9:31am bobdoesthings:

hey mm

9:31am Listener Robert:

Did he also have to explain they were not the Eagles? Bitchin' band!

9:32am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

The Liminanas remind me of Interpol to an extent and also the Feelies...how cool!

9:33am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

Oh yeah, you cannot be Obvious Ken, that would not be cool.

9:33am Mark S:

I remember Posh Boy records!

9:34am Rev. Turnip Druid:

That's some solid service-journalism there [re: the brian williams comment]

9:34am Parq:

The E of DM are a great band, and they seem like they're probably great guys. I realize that what they suffered pales in comparison to what the victims and their families suffered, but someone ought to take a moment to note that what happened to the E of DM sucked and they don't deserve it.

9:34am MD:

OK! I WILL CALL THEM FRENCH FRIES AGAIN!!!

🚽

9:35am Ken From Hyde Park:

Brian Williams is back on TV?

9:35am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

WFMU is the arbiter of excellence for those in the know...

9:35am Planet Tyler:

Can someone confirm Brian Williams talked about EODM cos I don't believe Ken! It's a skit!

9:36am redkayak:

Right on @MD :)

9:36am Yvang:

The Eagles of Death Metal are not the Sepultura of Folk

9:36am pgw in mntclr:

similarly, i explained to my parents over the weekend that they weren't actually a death metal band.

9:38am MD:

Actually I always called them French Fries....

🚽

9:38am -Ken:

Non Tyler, c'est Vrai.

9:38am Planet Tyler:

@Ken - then, WOW

9:39am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

I call them Frytki because we speak some Polish at home...

9:39am Yvang:

What did Bernie Sanders said about Death Metal during the debate?

9:40am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

He burst into song...

🚽

9:40am -Ken:

Oh no Yvang, he didn't really mention death metal, did he?!

🚽

9:41am Vivian:

My husband thought that the Eagles of Death Metal were a metal band that covered Eagles tunes. I set him straight.
Is there any youtube video of Brian Williams describing Eagles of Death Metal to the audience?

9:41am Yvang:

I don't think he did, unfortunately

🚽

9:44am Ken From Hyde Park:

Say, anybody got any good recent Chris Christie quotes?

🚽

9:47am -Ken:

Chris Christie has been out-christied by Donald Trump. I dont even do news searches for Christie anymore. Only Trump and Carson. Trump said last week that Hillary was only running for president in order to stay out of jail. hahahahaha

9:47am Brendan:

The bells! Not the bells! Ding dang dong. Dang!

9:52am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

I heard Trump compared Ben Carson to a child molester. This made even his supporters on stage visibly uncomfortable. So much for Reagan's "11th commandment"...

9:54am common:

good to finally not work and hear your show, ken. thanks for the strangeness.

🚽

9:54am -Ken:

Oh yeah, Trump went even more crazy than usual at that one speech in Iowa. People walked out on him and stuff. He also said that Carson suffers from "pathogical" as though pathological was a specific disease. "He's got pathological! You dont get over that!"

9:54am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

I think Trump has jumped the shark at this point...

9:55am Cheri Pi:

fave Burgalat song :)

🚽

9:56am -Ken:

Yeah, not yet Neil. There's a lot of stupid racist people in the USA.

9:56am SeanG:

Jump on the Cain Train!

9:56am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

As a staunch Catholic it really made me take pause when he said "nope, God doesn't need to forgive me for anything, nothing at all"...

9:56am bobdoesthings:

why are these people even still in the race or discussed at all. I don't understand the world.

9:56am Marcel M:

"He's got pathological! You dont get over that!"

Hahahhahah. I hadn't heard that.

9:57am Marcel M:

Yeah isn't Trump still doing pretty well?

Bob theres that whole gap between the east and west coast, remember?

9:57am common:

glad i've been ignoring the world.

9:58am Marcel M:

I actually stopped ignoring the world for this election and I'm starting to regret it. Although knowing whats going on sort of brings some sort of satisfaction... but.... I wonder if its worth it. If Marco Rubio wins the primaries Hillary Clinton will eat his head. So its all good.

9:59am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

Nice visual. Like a praying mantis! I picture Hillary as a large insect for sure...

10:00am Marcel M:

Hah, yes! I was going for the praying mantis thing. I can really picture it.

10:00am pierre:

Bonjour Ken and Kenanigans !

10:01am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

Bill trapped in a cocoon stored as a food pellet...

10:01am Cheri Pi:

Bonjour Pierre!!!

10:02am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

Hey Pierre!

🚽

10:04am -Ken:

Hey Pierre! Been thinking about you. Hope you're hanging in there.

10:08am pierre:

Merci Ken, I have been thinking about everyone. And we keep on needing music. Yesterday we invited people to drink, eat, laugh, talk, and it was very simple and great. What can I say, we've been attacked on a district where a lot of people go… it's insane. And sadly I think that you americans have been knowing that.

10:08am bobdoesthings:

whoah.. how many people are in the studio there ken!?

10:09am pierre:

But yes, all the people that I know are safe.

10:10am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

Ken, you rock!!! Thank you!!

10:14am Cecile:

Ken - a fun song in French is Big Soul's Le Brio.
They're a SAnFran band that hit it big in France with this mangled French rocker

10:16am pierre:

are you running out of french song ideas Ken ? Impossible…

10:17am Cecile:

Hey, you can always play Lady Marmalade.

10:18am Greg from ZONE 5:

Morning, gang!

10:19am Cecile:

pierre, I am glad to hear that. Your beloved town has been in the news too much for the wrong reasons. I am happy you and yours are safe.

🚽

10:19am -Ken:

hahahaah Cecile. that's funny. I cant find Big Soul - is that a CD or vinyl?

10:19am cthulhu:

thank you for this Ken

10:19am pierre:

I feel like there is a "bisou" theme on this set

10:19am Cecile:

It would be CD.

10:23am Cecile:

ken worst case, you can youtube the song.

10:23am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

I would think there a lot of other French Speaking places in the world that put out music...would THAT work?

10:24am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

My GOD Brigitte Bardot is HOT. OUCH!

10:25am ?:

What is it about women speaking French that is so irresistably sexy? Mon dieu!

10:25am Cecile:

a lot of African music from Zaire is in French, IIRC.

10:25am Listener Robert:

French Guianan music, if typical of that area, should be fairly pleasant, if unchallenging.

10:26am Brendan:

@ken If you run out of requests , Claudine Longet does it for me.

🚽

10:26am -Ken:

Women speaking French is sexy because it sounds a little bit like they are speaking German.

10:26am Sam:

Maybe play some Coeur de Pirate?

10:27am 67tele:

gonna do any Serge Gainsbourg (or Gaines burger as Clay Pigeon likes to say) today?

10:27am pierre:

yeah, even very early France Gall does it,
but then Boris Vian, Yves Montand, Nino Ferrer and Bobby Lapointe are pretty awesome

10:27am pierre:

yeah, even very early France Gall does it,
but then Boris Vian, Yves Montand, Nino Ferrer and Bobby Lapointe are pretty awesome

10:27am Cecile:

Oh! MC Solaar raps beautifully in French.

10:27am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

If you have ever flown Lufthansa you might not say that Ken...

10:27am Sam:

Oui, MC Solaar is nice

10:28am Sam:

She said my cat's name, Lumineux!

10:28am bobdoesthings:

Bardot is a white supremacists and speaks out of her hatred for muslims and foreigners.. good choice ken.

10:29am Marcel M:

Wow that robot gif is ultra creepy

🚽

10:32am -Ken:

Thank you Bob. I base my musical choices purely on the politics of the composer and performer. That's how I make sure that WFMU is a safe space for schmucks like you.

🚽

10:32am Vivian:

Love Walkie Talkie!

10:32am bobdoesthings:

HAH!

10:34am Mark S:

oooh snap

10:35am 67tele:

my thoughts are going out to you and yours pierre

10:36am Greg from ZONE 5:

Possibly the first time I've heard Solaar on FMU!

10:36am Cecile:

Yay!

10:37am geegee vindaloo:

Has anyone played Lapin Numéro Un by Amnésie this week?

10:41am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

@Ken-thank you for saying that! You know, I LOVE Dali's work, but as a human being he was a real douche....

10:49am Brendan:

And say what you want about Charles Manson but that man absolutely loved puppy dogs

🚽

10:50am Ken From Hyde Park:

Is there a French version of the Cocktail Bar remix? That would be pretty cool, I'm sure.

10:53am Sam:

"Tu travaillais comme une serveuse dans un bar de cocktail"

10:54am Sam:

Tu
Tu travaillais
Tu travaillais comme serveuse dans un bar de cock cock cock cocktail

10:55am Cheri Pi:

oh no, I can't take this again !*mutesies*

🚽

10:55am Ken From Hyde Park:

Note to listeners: This Neil Young track goes for like nineteen minutes.

10:56am Sherman Bakey:

After SM Ken's comments Monday I'm not surprised to hear this track for the 2nd time in less than 48 hours

10:57am Asheville Jon:

Ken, will you please give a follow up consumer report about the nose/ear hair trimmer you received for x-mas/hanukkah last year?

10:58am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

Thanks for the warning Ken....what was Neil Young thinking?

10:59am Jeff:

Oh, yeah - I liked this Neil Young track when Joe started his show with it way back on Monday.

🚽

11:00am Vivian:

Any reviews on the Bluenote Cafe release? Good? Bad?

11:02am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

oh I GET IT...Its Neils Birthday this week....the 12th...

11:03am Sam:

It's always Neil's birthday on Ken's show

11:04am KP:

Today's the Day.

11:05am Mark S:

Oh Neil

🚽

11:05am -Ken:

Neil's birthday was LAST week. I just never heard Tonight's the Night with f;in horns before! I will never second-guess Neil again!

🚽

11:07am -Ken:

Jon, that nose hair trimmer is the best birthday present I ever got. It trims nose hair, ear hair, neck hair and it can trim several hairs at the same time. Amazing!

11:07am pierre:

I don't want to keep this ape hanging, I want to give him (or her) the kiss

11:07am Brendan:

Im confused, which night is it?

11:08am timurf:

this song would be tolerable if it were 2 seconds long

11:09am Brendan:

And would you like mashed potatoes with the t bone steak mr young?

🚽

11:10am -Ken:

The song is ending now.

🚽

11:10am -Ken:

Dont worry, it will be over soon.

11:10am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

WOW this is self-indulgent....

11:10am Mark S:

one more time!

🚽

11:10am -Ken:

I promise.

11:11am timurf:

gosh, already?

🚽

11:11am -Ken:

oops. I guess not.

🚽

11:11am -Ken:

Now it's really ending.

11:11am f0f0 (:

Hi, Ken and people!

After what happened few days ago in Paris.. Does somebody knows if pierre is OK?

11:11am CeeDubbles:

Hate to sound like an old - but none of the Images are sprouting on Chrome . . . ayudame por favor?

🚽

11:11am -Ken:

This sounds like the real ending, this time.

11:11am spodiodi:

What model trimmer? I want in.

11:11am Lizardner Dave:

I really liked Greendale, nobody plays that anymore.

11:12am Mark S:

Neil with the head fake

🚽

11:12am Vivian:

How I love Neil.. I miss those days with CH.

11:13am Lizardner Dave:

POTTERHOUSE!!!!

🚽

11:13am AnAnonymousParty:

This song is like when relatives are leaving and they are hanging out the car windows still chatting even as the car backs out of the driveway.

11:13am Brendan:

Jebesus i came back from a meeting and he was still on the same one note solo

🚽

11:15am -Ken:

Vivian - that wasn't Crazy Horse! That was the silly "This Notes For You" band!

11:17am Mark S:

There's a 37 minute version of "Sister Ray" on The Complete Matrix Tapes

11:17am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

People used to call me "Crazy Horse" and later just "Horse" because my name is , well, Neil. Call me horse. Or "SIT", but that's another story for another day....

🚽

11:18am -Ken:

Should I play that next Mark?

🚽

11:19am -Ken:

I think I'll save it for the next time I need to deal with a technical disaster in the middle of my show.

11:19am Oh baby its a wild, wild Neil:

This imperfect version of "What Goes On" is somehow better, kinda like the Grateful Dead who are imperfect, and so human...

11:19am Mark S:

Yeah!

🚽

11:19am -Ken:

Hey guess what?! The WFMU homepage may change THIS SUNDAY!

11:19am Brendan:

Neil took on Anheuser Busch then Monsanto .. Hey this beer tastes funny

11:19am Mark S:

"may"?

11:20am Linda Lee:

truly hoping i don't hear that Neil Young track again for a while. perfect example of Big Rock Star self-indulgence & Why Punk. mais, marvelous show today Ken!

11:20am Whooda:

Good Morning (from the wrong side of the bed). Thanks for the cool stickers and stuff Liz (and Ken at FMU).

11:21am Cecile:

hi, Pi!

🚽

11:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

What time Sunday? I want to see it the first moment it's out there.

11:22am CeeDubbles:

@f0f0 (: - I believe M. Pierre was on the comment board yesterday

🚽

11:22am -Ken:

Thank you Linda. I hear what you're sayin'. I'll play Tonight's the Night again after this break.

11:22am Cecile:

I loved that Neil, but I'm in that kind of a mood.

🚽

11:23am Vivian:

This Notes For You band???? I'll have to check out that release.

11:23am f0f0 (:

Cheri Pi,
Hi. Have you talked with pierre? Is he OK? Hopefully he wasn't in the EODM concert I thought about asking here because, where else I can find him hanging around but in Ken''s show. Besides I only have 1 live hour of wfmu a week.

11:23am Cecile:

hey, Ken if you got Korpiklaani, that would be awesome.

11:24am Cecile:

Pierre is OK. He was on here earlier.

11:24am f0f0 (:

Oh, thanks CeeDubbles!

11:25am CeeDubbles:

11/16/15 Yes everyone that I know is safe. Thank you for your kind words.
Some people did knew other person that were injured, or worse.
We will keep on listening to music.

11:25am f0f0 (:

Thanks, Cecile!

11:26am Cecile:

And, I'm not CeeDubbles.

11:29am Linda Lee:

@Ken, love these long breaks!

11:31am Cheri Pi:

Pierre is here and OK! C is C$, but only to me. HEYA C$$$

11:32am Cecile:

hiya!

11:33am CeeDubbles:

I am not CeeDubbles. This is not a pipe.

11:34am Brendan:

@vivian this notes for you was Neil's regurgitation of ABs 'this buds 4u' and the saturation ad 'the night belongs to michelob' that bankrolled phil collins winwood clapton. 80s barf

11:35am P-90:

Good to know our French coconspirators are all accounted for. Fred, Pierre, etc were among the many folks I know one way or another who I thought of during that long Friday night.

11:35am f0f0 (:

Butterscott is so fine!

11:35am JakeGould:

So what’s this I hear about a Doug Yule special CD?

11:37am f0f0 (:

Good to know and Thanks, Cheri Pi!

🚽

11:38am -Ken:

You mean the new VU Matrix Tapes set Jake?

🚽

11:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

How does Clay Pigeon's sign-off go? "Always remember something"?

🚽

11:44am -Ken:

Just "Always Remember."

11:44am fred:

i cant remember

11:44am Linda Lee:

'always remember'..

11:45am Linda Lee:

love the space lady. just love.

11:45am fred:

it thought it was something like "celebrate amnesia today"

11:47am steve portland:

space lady seems like she's pretty cool

🚽

11:47am Ken From Hyde Park:

OK, cool. I'll try to always remember that.

11:48am MD:

Can I get BBQ Feet!?!?!

11:49am Cecile:

Please play Flight of the Conchords' Bowie!

11:49am Brendan:

John Bobbit got dis -membered .
The he got it re-membered.
The President once mis-remembered. That was pretty cool. Then there were those lame Members Only jackets in the 80s that I'll try to not remember.
