Listener comments!

🚽

6:17am -Ken:

Hi all!

7:03am Marcel M:

Ken! FYI, the last track on side A of that Pakistani early dance comp is almost the same exact riff as, "Heaven on their minds," from J.C. Superstar.

7:06am Marcel M:

I segued from one to the other earlier, naturally.

🚽

7:16am -Ken:

Thanks Marcel, I will be sure not to replicate the segue.

🚽

7:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

Wait...what? I thought today was the day of the atonal music.

🚽

8:15am -Ken:

Help Me

Morning Ken. Hope you and the cones are well.

8:48am Lizardner Dave:

Good morning Ken and Lola (Lola is there, right)?

🚽

8:53am -Ken:

Yes Lola is here. She found a dead mouse and ate the front half of it,

🚽

8:55am Ken From Hyde Park:

What a good dog! Good thing there aren't skunks in the neighborhood. Dogs can't resist getting into fights with skunks.

8:58am Jack:

The heads are the best part...

9:00am bobdoesthings:

goodmorning

9:02am Nick S.:

9:10am Billy Jam:

morning Ken + FMU listeners -

🚽

9:10am -Ken:

Hi everybody!

9:11am FɊFɊ (:

You know how Ray Manzarek knows!? You know who told him!? Jim F*cking Morrisong told him! That's who!!!

9:11am Mark S:

Ray really did go on

9:11am pantz:

How much coke is he on?

9:11am FɊFɊ (:

Did I say Morrisong?

🚽

9:12am AnAnonymousParty:

Lady Gaga is listening to this story intently.

🚽

9:13am Ken From Hyde Park:

This is the bacchanal of radio.

9:13am cory:

who do i email to delay my payment? only need 3-4 days

9:13am redkayak:

More cones please...

9:13am bobdoesthings:

@cory -- I'd imagine Joe McGasko.

9:15am cory:

Thanks bob.

9:16am Nick S.:

Yeesh! Thug motivation sounds a bit sociopathic.

9:16am PKNY:

Knowledge dropped. Maybe "Sexy Relations" dude in the AM slot?

9:20am Jack:

I'd convert that coat rack into a big hookah.

9:21am bobdoesthings:

anyone ever try Kratom? that drug they're debating about making a schedule 1?

9:22am judy from croton:

Spending the day atoning for sins.
And I'm not Jewish.
Like the (a)tone of your show.

9:23am Nick S.:

Saw Simeon last year at Moogfest! It was really fun! Highlight of the festival for me.

9:24am dan in wisconsin:

I need to get one of those Kubrickian ape suits somehow for Halloween.

9:27am Nick S.:

Teddy bEars Picnic!

9:28am Michele:

You are so weird.

9:29am bobdoesthings:

<3 isla fischer gif

9:29am Sem Chumbo:

*I Must Sing*. Fearless words to live by. Morning, Ken, and Barbies and Kens listening in from all over.

9:31am FɊFɊ (:

Show's atonement is incomplete without the Network speech.

9:33am bobdoesthings:

but were the kid leather pants made of real kids?

9:34am rsj:

sounds like your cat must atone

9:35am pygmylunch:

My cat eats only the head of mice and leaves the severed butts. I feel your pain, Ken.

9:40am melinda:

hello everyone

9:41am Irwin:

Pink Floyd's Nick Mason — the most boring drummer in classic rock.

🚽

9:42am -Ken:

Hi melinda - Pygmylunch, why is it less disturbing to find the disembodied mouse head than the disembodied butt?

9:43am judy from croton:

Mine eat squirrels in front of the picture window, leaving only the tail.

9:43am unpopularfred:

@Irwin - somebody in that band needed to have no personality

9:43am Irwin:

Mason doesn't drum — he plods.

9:44am FɊFɊ (:

And Nick Masonry is the most concrete of them all.

9:46am bobdoesthings:

fofo - HAH! zinnggg

9:47am pygmylunch:

Ken, because leaving the dismembered butt means they were sending a message to the other mice- here is your beheaded comrade. It's brutal. Another time I just found a tiny mouse organ on the rug. Ugh.

9:53am rsj:

judy, how much for your cat?

9:53am Nick Mason:

WFMU's Irwin - the most boring DJ in freeform radio.

9:53am Sam:

Is everything ok? It sounds like people are getting hurt in there.

9:55am Sam:

Jesus, Watermelon Man, how much terlet paper do you need?!

🚽

9:56am -Ken:

pygmylunch I would think that the head rolling around would send a stronger message. Y'know, impaled heads along the roadway, a la the Vlad the Impaler, the Romans or Game of Thrones.

10:00am foofs:

This is what Stock and Aitken's rough mixes sounded like before Pete Waterman came in and polished 'em up a bit for the radio.

10:01am Billy Jam:

Tracks like this is why I love listening to WFMU - have never heard this piece before - so first thing I did was check Ken's playlist for when released (detailed informative playlists = another great feature of WFMU lacking in so many radio stations) to see that it came out a good while ago…..Part of why I like it is because of this early date of production- and how it sounds like a precursor to a lot of 90s DJ battle/beat records - TNX WFMU

10:02am Kimzilla:

My dog once came in throwing this thing up in the air. When I came close to inspect she locked her jaws down on the prize, the single foot of a large bird.
I always wondered what happened to the rest of that bird.

10:05am pocket vito:

Billy Jam is not my lover
He's just an awesome DJ I listen to
And I wish he was my son
Doobie doobie doobie doo

10:06am pygmylunch:

idk Ken, but those floppy, headless mouse butts really creep me out.

10:06am unpopularfred:

No time for the rest of this song

10:12am Wild Neil:

PEACE all. Still looking for work. As a Mechanical Engineer.

10:12am jan:

@FɊFɊ- where have you been? I've been meaning to ask you about your moniker-
is it, as the internet explains, " fourty four caliber pistol" or Portuguese for cute?

10:13am Torbjørn:

Scandihoovia checking in here. The Norwegian sound-effect thing is by Trond-Viggo Torgersen, and the song is called "Det var en gang en .. og en". Somewhat new live version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1d3tvChCms. This guy is a doctor, TV personality and was at one point the norwegian childrens ombudsman. All-around good guy, that song is one my childhood favorites.

10:13am cory:

me trolling, "Now, I'm coming to gobble you up,"

10:14am Marcel M:

G'morn

10:15am pocket vito:

Ah, now this is the tripped out stuff I was hoping for.

10:16am Wild Neil:

@Irwin-I think Nick Mason's drumming on the song Careful With That Axe, Eugene is pretty smooth and "jazzy"...except where it explodes and goes apeshit. But yeah, he is no Neil Peart. Or that guy from the Police who is phenomenal. Or some Jazz drummer you probably know of who is amazing.

10:18am Henry:

hellooooooooooo! lloyd lindsey young!

10:19am bobdoesthings:

Hey Marcel!!

10:21am Listener142985:

think more coffee needed here...mind reeling

10:24am Brendan:

Hi there

10:25am Slim Pickins:

hey y'all

10:25am dan in wisconsin:

Butter too thick on the bread....heaven forbid...

10:25am cory:

@Ken "Listen to me: where did you get those awesome pics?

10:28am Cecile:

Now, what did you do wrong, Ken?

10:28am Cecile:

Hi, all! Billy Jam!

10:29am pocket vito:

What'll happen when that dad catches his kid masturbating?

10:29am nick:

Dammit you and your awesome mix up mash up of all things awesome. KEN.

10:29am Slim Pickins:

love this brenda lee song, thank you for that one, Ken

10:30am Cecile:

Great song, weird arrangement.

10:32am JP from KC:

Morning, all. Nice gif choice, Ken. I was just thinking I could use a drink.

10:37am cory:

mornin' JP

10:37am unpopularfred:

I love how Kurt Weill can be sung by persons of all vocal abilities.

10:38am famous original italianicewolf:

Neil Gannon is no Raul Julia.

10:40am famous original italianicewolf:

@unpopularfred: ha, yeah I think was the Barbara Song that has been sung by Bea Arthur AND Klaus Kinski, who knew

10:40am famous original italianicewolf:

Gahh, hannon not Gannon

🚽

10:41am Ken From Hyde Park:

During Bethany's A440 last night, I discovered that I've outlived Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. I'm trying to picture how to make that a 7SD topic: "Famous People You've Outlived."

10:42am JP from KC:

Cory! My apologies for dropping off the grid, there. Good to hear from you, and I don't think I ever thanked you for that playlist. Much obliged!

10:42am Jack:

in re: Nick Mason. I read his autobiography, and I learned absolutely nothing about anything, including Pink Floyd. I remember there were some pictures (maybe photographs?) in the book. And words, etc.

10:44am bibi:

yo. haven't been around for ages. glad to hear/see your show is still into awesomity. and not only talking about GIFs (which only stand for approx 35% of the overall awesomehood).

🚽

10:45am Ken From Hyde Park:

Nick Mason collects fast cars; I'll give him that.

10:46am cory:

JP. i drop out often. no worries.

10:46am Marcel M:

I like where this is going.

🚽

10:46am -Ken:

Thank you Bibi! That makes me feel eggsellent

10:47am cory:

just glad you're still here

10:48am Jack:

Is Maskull from "A Voyage to Arcturus"?

10:50am JakeGould:

Good luck looking for a virgin.

10:50am cory:

re: the gary wilson gif. is that what "cornholing" means?

10:51am pantz:

Sweet Talley is the creepy version of Tom Waits?

10:51am FɊFɊ (:

jan,

Indeed. Fofo means cute in portuguese. People would laugh at me -because cute I an't- when I lived there.

10:52am unpopularfred:

He probably only has to look in the mirror

10:54am pocket vito:

You'll be a wonderful lover some day. Don't be scared of that erection.

10:55am jan:

Psycho Sexual Poem - I can't concentrate!

10:56am FɊFɊ (:

jan,

Think like a....KARATEKAAAAAA!!!! To purify your mind from lusty songs.

10:56am Brendan:

Ahhh its Spring and sex is in the air. Wait ... no thats not right . It s autumn. The autumn wind is a pirate...

10:57am Ike:

I'm out sick today so I'm finding today's set of disturbing Ken things even more disturbing than usual. You know how a cold amplifies disturbances in your mind and everything sounds harsher? No? You have no idea what I'm talking about? Great!

10:57am jan:

@fofo- Jan- not quite a boy named Sue, but still a name that was cause for comment (and self consciousness) when growing up in U.S.A.!

11:00am Stevel:

TOO creepy? Is that a thing?

11:00am Marcel M:

Is Sweat Talley Jokerfan?

11:01am Brendan:

Don't worry Ken, Chris Hanson hasn't shown up yet . Creep on.

11:01am pocket vito:

Ike, the worst is being sick while locked in a high tower of a drafty castle, with only rats and spiders as your companions. You may have disturbing mental states.

11:01am Chris Hanson:

Ken, have a seat.

11:02am Brendan:

Kippers? Yum!

11:03am Chris Hanson:

a chicken? really? shouldn't it be a goat?

11:03am Lizardner Dave:

Andy needs an ostrich to absorb his sins.

11:03am pocket vito:

You can do it at any ATM. Transfer sins from savings to chickens.

11:03am cory:

whoops

11:03am Listener142985:

can transfer be accomplished by eating at Chick-fil-A? getting close to lunchtime.

11:04am JP from KC:

Random new morning show idea: A show for people who hate mornings. It's just the angriest music you can find, interspersed with conversations from grumpy hosts on the general theme of "Fuck this, amiright?!" and recordings of chronic smokers waking up coughing and hacking.

11:05am pocket vito:

Coughy Moments in the Morning

11:05am cory:

time for one of my fave jokes. "You know who likes fried chicken? Black people. Do you know who else likes fried chicken? Everybody."

11:05am pocket vito:

People would think it was "coffee", but it's really "coughy"

11:06am JP from KC:

Listener142etcetera brings up a good point. after you transfer your sins to the chicken, is it ok to eat the chicken?

11:08am jan:

love this JG Thirwell piece! Met him at a Chelsea Art opening last month.

🚽

11:09am -Ken:

Yes, you must feed the chicken to your enemies as I understand it.

11:11am Brendan:

Picturing robots making out now in this video.Thanks Ken.

11:14am FɊFɊ (:

But you also must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, Ken.

11:14am Ike:

I'm having fever dreams about an anti-morning zoo that sounds just like a regular morning zoo. If you stare into the abyss and all that! AIEEEE!

11:15am FɊFɊ (:

I kindly request a WTF Scientology song, please.

11:15am MenfussMike:

this is an incredible version of my favorite Beatles song

11:15am Listener142985:

Jr. Walker--what a great voice

11:16am cory:

i kindly second FoFo's request

11:18am cory:

thetans, thetans, thetans

11:19am orpheusviking:

jp, coughy moments would rule.

11:22am JP from KC:

Right?! There's a local morning guy around here that is way too excited for mornings. He's yelling ALL. THE. TIME. I just want to hear from someone who is as pissed off as I am about having to get out of bed.

11:24am bobdoesthings:

HAHAHAHA this is great..

11:24am cory:

thanks ken

11:25am FɊFɊ (:

JP from KC

You are asking the wrong guy as I'm feeling very happy at the moment because of the WTF Scientology song. Thanks Ken!

11:25am Andrea:

bad day now is GOOD DAY!!!!! the L stands for life!!!!!

11:26am cory:

no, the L stands for Love

11:27am Okasa:

The L stands for "Laughable".

11:27am Brendan:

Litany

11:27am cory:

and likely bullshit

11:27am herb.nyc:

i think 8 or 9minutes of "going clear" was spent on the L factor.

11:27am Andrea:

both Love and Life and some phrase where the L wasn't the start of the word... The L Word...

11:27am jan:

I sure wish I could see the A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant! I'm left only with my imagination to fill in the visuals. Love the tune!

11:28am Andrea:

what do children need to go clear about?

🚽

11:29am ChrisVB:

DEEEEEEP

11:29am Brendan:

L stands for Perdedor

11:29am cory:

i've got the feeling that L. Ron thinks ladies are "icky"

11:30am Susan C.:

You are creeping me out with all this Scientology rhyming and chimin and making happy in the name of soul squashing cultdom.

🚽

11:32am Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks for the atones this morning, Ken. The btones were pretty good, too.

11:34am cory:

@ Ken "happy the harmonica" by negativland is 8 mins

11:34am bobdoesthings:

aren't Dingoes wild dogs from australia? Is it ok/safe to keep them? Are there domesticated dingoes?

11:34am cory:

and radio safe

11:35am cory:

@bobdoesthings, they only take babies from bogans

11:35am bobdoesthings:

@cory ... hmmmm google search: The term bogan (/ˈboʊɡən/) is a derogatory Australian and New Zealand slang word used to describe a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour exemplify values and behaviour considered unrefined or unsophisticated, similar to the British term chav.

11:36am FɊFɊ (:

Someone Google Chav for good measure.

11:37am cory:

community housing and violet

11:37am bobdoesthings:

haha.. hmmm I'm just asking , I thought dingoes were wild. I guess I should just google that instead and shutup :/

11:38am cory:

erm, violent

11:39am cory:

@bob, just a shitty joke

11:39am Brendan:

The creepiness resumes. This is building up to something that can only be resolved by Baby Animal . Or Peter Graves saying 'Joey, have you ever seen grown man naked?'

11:40am Barney Grubbs:

Australian cattle dogs/heelers are reputedly part dingo www.dogster.com...

11:41am FɊFɊ (:

It's actually Council Housed And Violent. But who cares, anyway.

* gets punched by a chav*

11:42am Cecile:

They are, but some are semi-tame. They are the foundation stock for the kelpie and Blue Heeler dogs.

🚽

11:42am -Ken:

Lola is an Australian Cattle Dog but she looks just like a dingoatemybaby

11:43am VV:

What was this "La-la-la" tune? Eerie!

11:43am mmmldx:

Funny..enjoyed the Auditor! Thanks Ken and Matt Krug for connecting me to WFMU!

11:43am Boris:

This is great. I still have Ken's hour long "The Horror" from a few years ago.

11:44am Boris:

VV: It's the "Rosemary's Baby" soundtrack

11:44am Cecile:

Yeah she has dingo in her. Blue Heeler is another name for Auss Cattle Dog.

11:45am FɊFɊ (:

VV,

That's from the Rosemary's baby movie, I think.

11:45am Brendan:

@VV the la la tune sounded like it was from the movie Rosemary's Baby

11:46am VV:

Thanks guys! That's it indeed, thought it sounded familiar.

11:46am FɊFɊ (:

Wanna know how I know, VV?! Jim F*cking Morrison told me!! That's who!!! And Ray Manzarek.

11:47am unpopularfred:

Checked out the track listing for that "Let it be" album. Ella Fitzgerald singing Savoy Truffle seems to have bonkers potential.

11:47am Kat in Chicago:

I like the idea of the anti-morning zoo. Maybe with less coughing though.

11:48am Ike:

gothamist.com...

11:49am Brendan:

Lorne freaking Greene from Bonanza?

11:50am unpopularfred:

porn for the blind?

11:51am Ike:

@Kat, maybe -- as long as it's not too enthusiastic! A morning show for non-morning people maybe? Keep WFMU weird!

11:51am Brendan:

This is the kind of show I can get behind.

11:52am FɊFɊ (:

PEOPLE LIKE USSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

11:53am Billy Jam:

thanks Ken! take care Ike, Cecile, pocket vito, and Marcel M

11:53am Whooda:

Just tuned in DJ Station Manager Ken, did I miss anything? Does a bear shit in the woods? Have you ever seen a bear and Donald Trump in the same room at the same time? Sorry but was tied up in WV courtroom groveling for mercy.

11:54am Cecile:

I think playing three hours of the Necks or Dead C every morning with no talking would be a great AM show

🚽

11:54am Ken From Hyde Park:

What is a lepo? I keep hearing about that on the news.

11:55am jan:

what a great show- please post the archive asap so I can listen to the first hour and 10 minutes
that played while my wife was still here!

11:55am bobdoesthings:

Thank you Ken! great show.

11:56am jan:

and Gute Yontif, Ken.

11:57am FɊFɊ (:
