Es Mi Palabra Favorita Mexicana: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:22am -Ken:

Greetings Friends!

6:43am FʗFʗ (:

Hello, Ken!

Why aren't you here yet, my early birds fellow co-commenters? Are you being distracted as well by an useless Snow-White?

♥ 6:51am -Ken:

Helllooo f0f0!

7:38am FʗFʗ (:

Hey, Ken! How come no one hasn't showed up yet? Where's geo in jc to open today's comments? Where's our beloved GIF Bard to immortalise today's Big GIFs showcase? Where's cory to request Barenaked Ladies (and Wild Neil to give his approval even though he is not aware of the existance of the band)? Where's Murakami with its intriguing conversation starters? Where is Bjarne with his warm german saliutes?

Oh, the humanity!

7:42am Michael:

Ken, just reading about KEXP. You're good friends with those guys, right and they like WFMU. Just thinking here.

7:47am cory:

mornin all

♥ 7:53am Planet Tyler:

Do you have a gif for Carl Kasell? The great radioman has left the studio

8:06am Listener Robert:

Pets can be long sleepers, but then they zoom in and spin around you, dancing and howling. On paper they may be represented with big eyes that stare and legs that reach out like hands, and then BOOM, they're dead.

8:23am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@FOFO and KEN et al-what it is! I got a contusion on my hand from falling on the ice yesterday, hit my head too; blacked out for a second. Wow. Yesterday it hurt to turn the key in my car door. About 10% better today. On light duty at work, no sheet metal shears or drill drivers for me as it was my dominant, right, hand.

8:26am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Fofo-yeah, if its got barenaked ladies anywhere near it, I fully endorse it.

♥ 8:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

Wednesday, the day of HazMat horrors!

8:56am cory:

ken, have you got the new Chopping Channel?

9:03am melinda:

Morning all

9:04am Linda Lee:

Happy Wednesday, Ken!

9:06am Linda Lee:

Slits to begin & it's a beautiful day.

9:07am FʗFʗ (:

Sorry to hear, Wild Neil! It happened to me once. The good news is the pain will go away soon. The bad news is the fingers will come off. But if you are lucky like me your middle finger will stay put.

9:10am arrow apple:

FYI I don't hate. Two dogs taken out by rattlesnakes, and I don't hate rattlesnakes. Incredible animal. PS Watched a movie last night that is worse than the first gif.

9:11am FletcherNYC:

Play the screaming goat please

9:11am corn niblets:

this is bad, bad poetry

9:12am Linda Lee:

it's a list of common names. actually brilliant.

9:13am corn niblets:

meh. if i want to hear a random list of names, i'll go downtown and listen to the drugged out lunatics rambling

9:15am Linda Lee:

this is different because of the thing named & what the names say about the namers. considering how incredibly charged the subject happens to be..

♥ 9:16am -Ken:

Asheville Jon, STFU

9:19am Linda Lee:

having one can get you killed, ya know.

♥ 9:20am Krys O.:

Thank you for this!

♥ 9:20am MD:

Good Morning all! All you crazy people,like me, who think we can listen to any type of music mixed with ANY TYPE of Music! HELL YEAH!!!

9:20am FʗFʗ (:

Z-ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK HAWAAAAAIIIIIIII!

The cutest singing voice ever!!

♥ 9:21am MD:

A GOAT SACK FOR EVERY AMERICAN!!!

9:23am (Murakami Whywolf))):

FʗFʗ ( :
Well, I woke up early as usual, downloaded the '…TOO_BIG.…' images, and went right back to sleep because a.) I needed it badly and b.) it sounded like the hungrier cat was aware that someone was awake, and I didn't want to stay awake long enough to fill and hide his fake rat toys/feeders. (That's a pain, but he's already lost a very necessary-to-lose pound.)

Quite possibly back to sleep now; drifting in and out to Ken's show has all the advantages of both living and not….

9:23am Roberto:

Tuchas maximus!

9:23am Mikeee:

Ah .... Willowbrook Institution back to life

9:25am Linda Lee:

the only thing i dislike about Ken's GIF: we can't see his tuchus.

♥ 9:25am Walt:

Stating the obvious, but I advise against Googling "goat sack."

9:27am Roberto:

SM Ken needs a web-only show.

♥ 9:27am MD:

LORDY!

9:28am Roberto:

Tuchus redux!

♥ 9:28am NotARealDoctor:

I live 45 minutes from Williamsburg. Unfortunately it's always the wrong Williamsburg for these concerts... :(

9:28am Linda Lee:

please play Tuchus again, Ken. yes.

9:28am FʗFʗ (:

I also advise against Googling images of Tuchus (thanks, Linda!).

9:28am slowbear:

tuchas again please

♥ 9:29am NotARealDoctor:

Can we just listen to Tuchus on repeat for the next 2.5 hours?

9:29am Linda Lee:

NARD ~ you're better off there, my dear. :-D

9:29am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I am so happy FMU turned me onto Can.

9:30am Linda Lee:

seconded on the 2.5 hours.

♥ 9:30am NotARealDoctor:

Well sure, you may say that, Linda Lee, but the music scene is terrible

9:30am Linda Lee:

really? what's wrong with those kids?

♥ 9:31am Megaroni:

Mucho mas Tucus !

♥ 9:32am NotARealDoctor:

Just no taste in music. It's the worst mixture of pop hip-hop, pop country, pop rock, and pop Indie. If they're not on a top 40 list they're not visiting Norfolk.

9:34am Linda Lee:

wow ... i'm sorry.

9:35am Linda Lee:

how far do you go for a decent show then? do you go?

9:35am BronwynB:

morning ken and everyone

♥ 9:37am -Ken:

Hi Bronwyn and all other recent arrivals!

♥ 9:40am Sebastian:

loving these Mamuthones, hey Ken and everybody

9:42am FʗFʗ (:

NotARealMusicScene

9:42am Okasa:

Good morning everyone.

9:44am Okasa:

I can tell you that my goat sack is the latest version. It is sewed AND has a hole for head.

9:46am Lixiviated Life:

Shackleton!
Sounds like somethings really eating at him.

9:47am fleep:

I lack a goat sack, but I do have a sheeping bag

♥ 9:47am Megaroni:

Great timing, my friend is performing opera this weekend at The Flea! You rock Ken

♥ 9:49am NotARealDoctor:

If I can make it, I'll drive the 3 hours to Richmond, or the 5 hours to DC, much further than that feels like it wouldn't be worth it unless it's a really incredible show. I did drive 8 hours to see The Flaming Lips once.

9:49am FʗFʗ (:

Hmm...I was thinking Robert Ridley Schackleton was the Meadow House guy. How suspicious. I demand a clarification!

♥ 9:50am NotARealDoctor:

And with my pet goat resting comfortably on the running board in a sack the whole way I didn't have to worry about being lonely.

9:51am northguineahills:

Robert Ridley-Shackleton, not to be confused w/ the former proprietor of Skull Disco Recs, or Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famous Antarctic explorer. (all three British).

9:51am Linda Lee:

i don't care who you are, i don't want to know all the shit behind your work. just put it out there, fer heaven's sake!

9:51am Sam:

This is like Mouse on Mars, love it

♥ 9:51am Ken From Hyde Park:

@fleep - Better wake it up!

9:54am northguineahills:

What Sam said....

9:56am Linda Lee:

NARD ~ wow, that's dedication! you *and* the goat.

♥ 9:56am listener Rey:

I use the Goat Sack for my portable sexual-harassment alarm

9:56am Fashion Tashjian:

Ooh this is tasty, Ken.

♥ 9:57am NotARealDoctor:

@NGH, make sure you don't forget The Shackletons, the band from Pennsylvania

9:57am Sam:

I have a pygmy goat sack on the side of my bike. So convenient!

9:57am FʗFʗ (:

Thanks, northguineahills. It is always interesting to know more about the Shackleton family.

♥ 10:00am -Ken:

Legal ID Time Approaches: This is WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, In New York City and Rockland County at 91.9 FM and online at wfmu dot org, BROUGHT TO YOU BY pepsi: All I want is a Pepsi and she wouldn't give it to me

10:01am FʗFʗ (:

Please somebody do the Le-goat ID!

10:02am Linda Lee:

he's on acorns.

♥ 10:02am MD:

NO COKE! ONLY PEPSI

10:03am northguineahills:

@NotARealDoctor: Forgot about that one!

10:03am thriftstoreleather:

Crazy
I was once crazy
they put me in a padded room
I died there
They buried me
They buried me with bugs
Bugs
I hate bugs
Bugs drive me crazy
Crazy
I was once crazy.......

♥ 10:03am Sebastian:

bravo, good echo

10:04am βrian:

"Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother, Bob."

10:04am FʗFʗ (:

That's my type of high-legal ID!

♥ 10:04am ♪ke:

"Or at least a Fresca...." ROTFL, bravo!

10:04am queems:

♥ 10:05am listener Rey:

So that's where the Wake and Bake "Nooooo!" comes from

10:05am Linda Lee:

don't believe i've ever heard that .. ?

10:07am Ramon vs Ramon:

Very funny station ID. Thank Dog for Suicidal Tendencies and our beloved leader Station Master(bater) Ken

♥ 10:09am Ken From Hyde Park:

@LL - Next quest is to find out where the "Yeah?" comes from.

10:09am FletcherNYC:

Party time by Jazz Butcher is pretty sweet too.

10:09am blee:

Kermit sounds drunk.

10:10am Linda Lee:

me, i love a mystery.

♥ 10:14am tadpole:

balooon gif rules

10:16am berbo:

It occurs to me that this might be the first cover of a Robyn Hitchcock song I've heard.

♥ 10:18am tadpole:

yakkity saxgorithm.

10:22am Linda Lee:

thank GOODNESS you'll be live tonight Ken. Andy we can do without.

10:24am Okasa:

From the top of the sea.

10:24am FʗFʗ (:

Ha, Ken!

That's a nice pronunciation of Schlammpeitziger but it's entirely wrong. Let me teach all of you how to pronounce it correctly:

Sch - like saying 'eXes'
lamm - 'hlem'
peit - 'poit'
ziger - 'Sager'

In other words, it's pronounced "exes-hlem-poit-sager".

I'm pretty sure about it because I did a German introductory course in '98. In the absence of Guido from Cologne I'm the defacto authority on German pronunciation.

♥ 10:25am NotARealDoctor:

Hmm, weren't we supposed to get a reprise of tuchus? I think Ken distracted us somehow.

10:26am Linda Lee:

tuchus please!!

♥ 10:26am NotARealDoctor:

ENOUGH WITH THE TAWLK! TUCHUS PLEEEZE!

♥ 10:27am tadpole:

ken without andy is like a peanut butter without a turd in it.

Of course I'm kidding, I love Andy.

10:27am FʗFʗ (:

I am not sure if people want you to play Tuchus again or they are clamoring to see your tuchus, Ken.

♥ 10:29am NotARealDoctor:

@FʗFʗ (: , Why not both? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

♥ 10:31am NotARealDoctor:

TUCHUS!

10:31am jess:

seriously

10:31am misterpickles69:

My god this is amazing

10:31am Linda Lee:

i weep with joy.

♥ 10:32am Sebastian:

how is this not the most favourited song on WFMU?

10:32am Linda Lee:

#tuchusnation

♥ 10:33am tadpole:

heavy metal (touchin' your tuchus)

10:33am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Ken, you play this Flaming Dragons of Middle Earth, but I don't think you ever played any bad country. Has anybody ever made intentionally bad country music? I mean poorly played, not excessively sappy, etc. Thoughts?

♥ 10:34am NotARealDoctor:

If it's not too late to make suggestions for the new Swag For Lifers name, I'd like to nominate the name Tuchus Tithers

10:34am Colin & Dani in Durham, England:

Last time I heard Tuchus I listened to it all week. I think you played More Bacon Than The Pan Can Handle too because I listened to that loads too.

Can’t remember most of my life or memories or even friends’ faces who’ve died, but I remember 2 songs you played years ago

♥ 10:35am NotARealDoctor:

I feel like that would really get the dollars rolling

♥ 10:35am Devin B.:

Lol

♥ 10:37am Sebastian:

tuchus = delicious

♥ 10:37am NotARealDoctor:

You know, I'm just full of suggestions this morning, because I feel like SM Ken should use Tuchus as a theme song that he plays at a specific time each week, but have it be weirdly in the middle of the show, say at the 11 o' clock hour maybe

♥ 10:38am NotARealDoctor:

I don't know where I came up with that time, just popped into my head

10:38am Linda Lee:

what an idea! fabulous.

♥ 10:38am NotARealDoctor:

LAURICE! Damn SM Ken is on point this morning!

♥ 10:38am Sebastian:

like a repetitious tuchus?!

10:40am Linda Lee:

next year we could have Ken riding a tuchus on a t-shirt!

10:42am Roberto:

This intro sounds a bit like The Who's Odorono.

10:42am Linda Lee:

both sides now & over the top. #tuchusnation

♥ 10:44am tadpole:

I love this song. This and that New York Janis Joplin type song ppl have been palying lately..

10:44am kimzilla:

I think in all sincerity I could rock the Tuchus song at the Hoof and Mouth. I'm practicing right now in fact!

♥ 10:45am -Ken:

Legal ID Time again at 11AM: Call 201-209-9238 and then:

This is WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, In New York City and Rockland County at 91.9 FM and online at wfmu dot org brought to you by ME

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'posed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

That's truth, that's love
Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

10:45am Linda Lee:

amazing idea kimzilla! i'm feelin it.
complicated instrumentation though.

♥ 10:46am Ken From Hyde Park:

By the way, is the EAS machine working correctly? I think there's been dead air instead. Maybe open the phone lines during EAS testing and let callers read the alert?

♥ 10:47am NotARealDoctor:

I was wondering about that too, KFHP, but I know when I used to stream NPR their EAS didn't go over the webstream so I just kinda shrugged it off.

10:47am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Every moment someone is saying 'tuchus' is a moment they're not saying 'tushie', and that's great. Next to eliminate: 'poop' (say 'turds', 'excrement', 'crap', 'shit', or 'shite') and 'pee' ('urinate', 'micturate', or 'piss'). Instant death for anyone saying 'hoo-ha' where humans (and better) say 'vagina', 'pudenda', 'cunt', 'cunny', or 'fanny' will have to wait for Full Orbital Laser Capability.

10:48am kimzilla:

@Linda Lee, we'll, that's where Little Matty Warwick would need to step in, right?

10:48am northguineahills:

Love that Davie Graham!

10:48am Linda Lee:

absolutely! & then some!

♥ 10:48am NotARealDoctor:

"pee"? really? I mean I can see "tushie", but "pee"?

10:48am JakeGould:

Hey! Been out of it the past few days… *cough* So did anyone during the “Dave Hill Art Show” actually eat a prison burrito?

♥ 10:49am ifeelfatnsassy:

Can we get this on the air? twitter.com...

10:49am mzmzzm:

from afar I was terrified if it was Joni relief to find it was Tina Fey

10:50am mzmzzm:

I can't bear the thought what I'd do when Joni checks out from this planet....

10:50am (Murakami Whywolf))):

If they ever stage "Lemmings" again, someone interpolate "Paints and Brushes", please, as well as "Pull the Tregroes" if the insurance company permit it.

10:51am Linda Lee:

shame on me, first thought this was another Joni Mitchell parody.

10:51am FʗFʗ (:

Tuchus is one of the first songs I added to my 'Ken's show best songs' folder in my computer almost a decade ago!

♥ 10:51am NotARealDoctor:

@Murakami, I think we need to worry about stopping the use of "tinkle" or "wee-wee" before we worry about "pee"

10:53am Linda Lee:

what, no 'Number 1'? did my mom make that up?

10:54am FʗFʗ (:

Don't tell me you are a poop-negator, Murakami! Oh, you break my heart.

10:55am Chi Bill:

HA! LLee, go number one, go number one...
Every time I peak at the mesasage bored it is deliciously insane

♥ 10:55am NotARealDoctor:

Oh man, I forgot about the numeric waste system. I never could figure it out as a kid.

♥ 10:56am NotARealDoctor:

It took me until I was well into my twenties to figure which was which

10:56am Linda Lee:

better late than never, NARD.

♥ 10:57am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm feeling a little confused. This sounds kind of "musicky."

♥ 10:58am The Oscar:

@Murakami NatLamp actually did do a Joni parody, "You Put Me Thru Hell." It wasn't on the Lemmings album (though I think it may have been part of the show), but it was on the great Radio Hour box set Rhino put out in the '90s. Can't find a link for the life of me, though.

♥ 10:59am tadpole:

love that turtle! It can breath through it's dick too.

10:59am Linda Lee:

it was actually pretty funny when AVIS car rental company ran ads that said "we're number two"...

♥ 10:59am NotARealDoctor:

@The Oscar is this it? www.youtube.com...

11:00am (((Murakami Whywolf):

I think 'tinkle' and 'wee-wee' may be necessary for people toilet-training children. My lists are drawn-up using the most objective criterion possible: what nauseates me.

11:01am FʗFʗ (:

Now that I think about it, tadpole, that would be a great skill to have especially when swimming my backstroke routine.

♥ 11:01am tadpole:

and, presumably, the lady turtle can breathe through her lady turtle parts.

♥ 11:02am NotARealDoctor:

Superpowers only a 13 year old could dream of

11:02am Linda Lee:

Clay was busy telling us they breathe through their buttholes. in which case, no difference, yes?

♥ 11:02am -Ken:

It's W - F - M - U

♥ 11:02am The Oscar:

@NotARealDoctor Whoa-- it is, and I've never seen the video! (IIRC, it was a guy imitating her voice on the Radio Hour recording). Thanks for that-- will check it out on my lunchbreak!

11:02am ?:

ID FAIL

♥ 11:03am joe mulligan:

I've resorted to only commenting for listener station IDs on Ken's show. wonderful

11:03am FʗFʗ (:

Ha! The echo sounds like a feminine voice!

11:03am Linda Lee:

oh dear god darling, no!

♥ 11:03am tadpole:

ah linda hahaha. Well, that may be correct actually. makes more sense?

11:04am Sam:

I think they left out wfmu.org

♥ 11:04am NotARealDoctor:

O_o

♥ 11:04am melinda:

The trick to an accurate ID is having it written down in front of you.

♥ 11:04am NotARealDoctor:

Sam, I guess we're not listening online

11:04am DumDumGuy at the Gates of Dawn:

The station is rule is anachronism if it not unnecessary from the get go

♥ 11:04am The Oscar:

Charlene! Somewhere along the line, one of my primary functions in life became making sure people heard this song.

♥ 11:05am tadpole:

I read "can breathe through their genitals" someplace. But that's a tall order. As is breating through ones butt. Especially it its butt via the nose, that could be bad.

11:05am Chud:

Nephew for the win

11:05am Linda Lee:

the 'cochlea' is for elimination. so, yes, do think that's it.

11:05am DumDumGuy at the Gates of Dawn:

Station id (damn auto spell correct)

11:06am Roberto:

I'm intercoursingly crying over here.

♥ 11:06am melinda:

This Charlene is giving me a much needed laugh.

♥ 11:06am The Oscar:

Also a killer karaoke selection, for the daring.

11:06am Listening Out There:

Waiting for the "Me" .gif...

♥ 11:06am tom from Glasgow:

oh lord

♥ 11:06am crateslinger:

o my god. I just walked in on this. what the hell is going on here?

11:06am Sam:

You should be able to be complete without kids, no?

11:07am Linda Lee:

i will always see Hugo Weaving singing this song in "Priscilla" ~ can't hear it another way.

♥ 11:07am tom from Glasgow:

"the isle of Greece", indeed

11:07am northguineahills:

What in the darn hell tarnashion bloody hell pinche is this!!!!

♥ 11:07am Ken From Hyde Park:

Cloaca, as The Crocodile Hunter used to say.

♥ 11:07am tadpole:

I get the sense this singer can also breathe through her butthole.

11:07am Eric Hat:

Morning Ken! Got any songs about broken legs? Or agonizing pain? Love you

11:07am Sam:

Does she do a version of "I'm proud to be an American cuz at least I know I'm free"?

♥ 11:07am GeorgeSimian:

This song is fucked

11:07am Roberto:

Ja ja pinche es mi palabra favorita mexicana!

11:07am partyfinger:

Okay I'm switching to WXYC!

11:08am FʗFʗ (:

"The trick to an accurate ID is having it written down in front of you."

I disagree, melinda. The key to legal-ID success is improvisation. This is what really makes FCC happy.

11:08am Linda Lee:

whoops, it's not the cochlea! my gosh, how embarrassing. wrong body part.

11:08am northguineahills:

woah, i just used three nationalities of profanity, I need to up my game, si?

11:08am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Speaking of nausea: "Never Been to Me" so terrible and obvious a ventriloquist's act. Women's Truth as rendered by a a guy who can't reckon how he's not scoring, even with his coke spoon and the BEST Marantz stereo 1971 could provide.

♥ 11:09am NotARealDoctor:

Haha Linda Lee! I'm just picturing that poor turtle pooping and breathing through his ears!

11:09am Sam:

Oh the way glen millah played
Sawngs that made the hit parade!

11:09am Roberto:

I had a dream last night that my turtles were wearing pants.

11:09am partyfinger:

Okay I'm back

11:09am Linda Lee:

LOL! jeez. i'm such a smarty pants.

♥ 11:09am GeorgeSimian:

(Murakami Whywolf))) - Definitely a lot to think about in that song!

♥ 11:10am GeorgeSimian:

But she's clearly made a break through

♥ 11:10am tadpole:

very relatable.

♥ 11:11am crateslinger:

Sometimes coming back into my office after dealing with normal people out on the floor, and stepping into WFMU land is almost too much. Who am I? What am I doing here? I should be someplace in my underwear.

11:11am Linda Lee:

60s era for sure. brilliant.

11:11am BronwynB:

this is great because i just last night was working on my musical with a male prostitute character who's an ex heroin addict. he should sing this song.

11:11am northguineahills:

@Roberto: Mi esposa dice mi pinche ameundo, y deservidly por lo. (de acuerdo a ella)

♥ 11:11am melinda:

@Linda I think of Hugo Weaving too

♥ 11:11am tadpole:

so good.

11:12am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Rather than get into a Morgellon's minefield, I'll recommend Ms Mitchell's charming rendition of "Me and My Uncle":
www.youtube.com...
Huh, I thought Helen Adam was the wonderful Anna Russell.

♥ 11:12am crateslinger:

that is one swole junkie

11:12am Roberto:

NGH, que buena esposa tienes!

11:12am Jeff Moore:

I wish I could roll my Rs like that Helen.

11:13am Linda Lee:

Bronwyn B ~ not something an addict would likely sing, though. we tend not to think about overdose much.

11:13am Jeff Moore:

Hey, you just said what I was writing!

11:13am northguineahills:

ok, my brain confused english y espanol, i meant "y merecidamente por lo!" She does say I can only speak gringo Spanglish.

♥ 11:13am The Oscar:

No prob! (And sorry-- the Radio Hour version is obviously cleaner!)

11:13am Sam:

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's the universe collapsing on itself

♥ 11:14am crateslinger:

interesting he's got a revolver and one shotgun shell.

Linda Lee:
I really like the effects of some opiates; I very possibly have Mr Burroughs to thank for _avoiding_ becoming a junkie. Now I'm debating whether or not to get into a buprenorphene anti-depression trial—largely because I think it would work.

11:27am Sam:

Wise decision

♥ 11:27am tadpole:

high pitch andy ken - I'm telling you.

I think we need to have an Andy soundboard so you can just manipulate what he says on command instead.

Sorry, no. I'm an ex-male prostitute junky.

only an ex junkie here. never a male prostitute.

there's not a typical 'look', so you'll just be making it up regardless.

♥ 11:44am crateslinger:

Every male prostitute I ever knew became a junky, and every junkie I ever knew was skinny and sick looking until they died. Congrats on getting out of that Linda Lee! I tried to help so many. And Neil you're right - that's a lighter.

jeez, collectively we only have one male prostitue ex-junky? I expected more from Ken's fan base.

Legal ID Time again at 11AM: Call 201-209-9238 and then:

This is WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, In New York City and Rockland County at 91.9 FM and online at wfmu dot org brought to you by MY MOM:

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Let her cry, for she's a lady (She's a lady)
Let her dream, for she's a child (Child)
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always payin' for a debt she never owes
And a silent wind still blows
That only she can hear, and so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

11:46am Sam:

I'm sure your booty garners a LOT of interest!

11:47am Linda Lee:

I went to the Booty Bank to ask for a loan and they say I don't have enough assets. But they said it like 'ass-ets'. I still don't know what the hell they meant.

11:48am BronwynB:

@crateslinger: im glad im on target with my male prostitute having been a junkie then. NOT that i am in any way happy that most male prostitutes become junkies, that's really sad

♥ 11:48am tadpole:

the idea that we're going to have to see trump's dick just makes this whole trump presidency all the so much worse.

11:49am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Bronwyn-I met some junkies when I drove a cab one day in a pretty BAD part of Buffalo (it was the nice cool shady back parking lot of a McDonalds that had a turd in the urinal). This junkie guy kept giving me cab driving advice as he nodded off mid sentence. You can use that.

11:49am Sam:

If prostitution and drugs were both legal, fewer of them would probably be junkies.

11:50am BronwynB:

@neil: my male prostitute is from nyc and doesn't know how to drive, but maybe it's funnier if he gives driving advice despite not knowing how to drive

11:50am BronwynB:

@sam: AGREED

11:50am JakeGould:

@Bronwyn: I saw a magician on the subway a few weeks ago who was nodding off in the middle of his act. Looked like a working class Italian showman. But then in the middle of his act he would start to nod and hover. Even when he had a dingy looking dove on his head.

♥ 11:51am -Ken:

I hope somebody is ready to do the legal ID AS WRITTEN

totally right, Sam.

Are those the lyrics of the abhorrent Skylard's tune, Ken?

♥ 11:53am crateslinger:

Yeah Brownyn, you nailed it! However, in my experience if a runaway is going to become a prostitute they do that BEFORE becoming a junky, but that's purely anecdotal.

11:53am BronwynB:

@neil: yes, it's a musical about four sex workers who blackmail clients by threatening to release video of their liaisons, at first purely for money, but then they start targeting abusive powerful men and doing it for justice

♥ 11:53am -Ken:

f0f0 I can't see from all the way over here but yes, they might be.

11:54am Eric Hat:

Ah, for a society that doesn’t stigmatize sex work and drug use. Who could folks shame in such a world... (rhetorical)

12:00pm (Murakami Whywolf))):

Some kind soul has compiled a bunch of Elliott Kalan's 'Letters from Listeners' improv'd 'songs' from "The Flop House": www.youtube.com...

I think it might make a good bed.

(Kalan was a writer on the "Daily Show" and wrote most of the revived "Mystery Science Theatre 3000',and compiled the 'Nuthin' Gay About Cowboys' short for the Oscars the year of "Brokeback Mountain". The podcast "The Flop House" saves my life every day, three friends snarky, adolescent, erudite, professional [jokes that also analyse joke and plot structure] , appreciative, and confortable with each other. They analyse and mock critical and commercial flops, but they also have affection for them and appreciate how hard it is to get movies made…as opposed to "How Did This Get Made" which is all-mockery and whose crew sound unpleasant thereby.)

12:01pm rbx:

thanks Ken!

12:01pm Linda Lee:

thanks for a great show Ken!

12:02pm bobo:

Sorry I'm late again! Can I request a song please?!
