Walkin' Pneumonia, Part 1: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:08am -Ken:

Morning all

6:25am geo in jc:

Good morning Ken!

♥ 6:32am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning! Lava rocks!

7:09am FːˡFːˡ (:

Hello, Kens, geo!

I hope you are fully recovered, Comandante Ken!

7:27am cory:

hello all

7:37am cory:

so, i watched a little bit of the new Neil Young movie. it was very bad and much not good.

7:39am Michael:

Morning Ken - hope you're well.

7:40am FːˡFːˡ (:

hey, cory!

7:42am cory:

hi fofo, how's it going?

7:46am FːˡFːˡ (:

cory,
I'm certainly doing better than the girl that falls into the lava as seen in that BIG GIF! By the way, for those worried about her, she got out of the lava, took a very cold shower and she's ok now.

7:49am cory:

fofo, don't lie!!! she scraped her knee on a sharp rock getting out of the lava.

♥ 7:49am Dave in Vermont:

morning - I always forget about this Jiff page until it's too late or I'm working.

8:18am Lava Girl:

Actually, when I fell in the lave a large Amethyst crystal became lodged in my chest which imbues me with supernatural powers. I can turn people to stone with just a look; which, as it turns out, is pretty embarassing at parties.

♥ 8:19am Sebastian:

good morning Ken and everybody

♥ 8:35am -Ken:

I dont know how Im gonna get through today's show.. I relapsed on my walking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.. forgive me if I play a lot of long songs today

♥ 8:41am N.A.R.D.:

Have you considered just playing Yakety Sax on loop for an hour at a time, interrupting only to do the station ID?

♥ 8:42am N.A.R.D.:

Or possibly Tuchus by Z-Rock Hawaii?

♥ 8:43am Walt:

Go full free-form and put on some hippie noise thing that lasts for three hours. Or get one of those mono opera CDs that have two hours of music and let that sucker play.

♥ 8:49am N.A.R.D.:

Dedicate the next 4 weeks to playing the entire ring cycle. Then you'll have plenty of recovery time.

8:58am Davee:

Is this Donut Time???

♥ 8:58am fred:

Last week's show opened the door to a Felder zone. Heavy Metal on a loop for three hours should cure even Matt of that one for good

♥ 9:00am fred:

Oum Kalsoum is a better choice if you need really long tracks. Or Sunn O)))

♥ 9:00am Sem:

Hello, SMK, and SMK-ers.

♥ 9:01am Sem:

Grapes before swine is a kind of metaphor, right?

♥ 9:03am steveo:

Good morning, Ken. I'm sorry for that time I was a jerk.

9:03am Chi Bill:

I grew up top Wichitai-To, forgot all about it until now. Thanks Ken!!!

9:04am Linda Lee:

Ken my dear!! good morning!!! thank you for the Cage LP from the 7SD auction! that was fast!

♥ 9:05am N.A.R.D.:

I remember driving home from high school, turning the volume up all the way to this song, and jamming out so hard that I completely forgot where I was going and got lost.

9:05am BronwynB:

morning ken and everyone. will there be opera??? please, please, please let there be opera

9:05am BronwynB:

-morrissey

9:05am Linda Lee:

the power of music, babe. :-)

9:05am judy from croton:

What a song, got my crying. Life is fleeting.

♥ 9:05am N.A.R.D.:

It was the first time I ever encountered a traffic circle and I was terrified

9:06am middlebun:

Anthem

♥ 9:06am The Oscar:

Morning all! When I first heard this song, I thought he was saying "Makes me feel *bad* that I'm not dead." I thought it was pretty heavy.

♥ 9:06am doctorjazz:

Man, just love Pepper's version!(his tune,correct?)

9:06am northguineahills:

Cheesy sax solo aside, a great version of Wichitai-To.

♥ 9:06am karlward:

Every time I hear this Jim Pepper song I'm like "I should change the station or something" but then I don't and by the end I'm totally digging it. Some kind of hex or something. I love it.

9:07am Linda Lee:

the power of music, babe. :-D

9:07am Marley Dogg:

Is that a Jazz flute?

♥ 9:08am fred:

@Bronwyn: I don't know which is more alarming: an opera about Morrissey, or one written by Morrissey

9:08am Linda Lee:

gotta work on those things that make us feel glad we're not dead. ready?

♥ 9:09am karlward:

fred: I would go see either of those, or both.

9:10am thedunkel:

Morning Ken! Morning All!

♥ 9:10am Ken From Hyde Park:

This sounds like a Blackfoot pow-wow I attended in Montana one time.

♥ 9:11am bore:

good morning ken, thanks for the tunes! really needing them today.

9:12am Linda Lee:

wow, that girl-into-lava gif is pretty disturbing! yikes!

9:12am noel:

Get the pneumonia shot Ken. It should keep the bug from returning.

9:12am Lixiviated Life:

ok so i guess we're doing this.
are we doing this?
let's do this.

9:12am ?:

Donut pow wow!

9:12am Vincent Nifigance:

@LindaLee I had to look it up and assure myself it was fake. It is!

9:12am Linda Lee:

trusting so. whew.

9:13am Davee:

interesting music this am

9:13am Nick S.:

gOOD MORNING kEN! It's Larry.

♥ 9:14am Vivian:

Morning all from the soggy ATL.

9:14am TDK60:

Comments board froze. Dig Witchi Tai To. Also like Everything Is Everything's version (w/Jim P.)

♥ 9:14am fred:

The "lava" in that falling girl GIF flows like water. I think it's just color shifting

9:14am Linda Lee:

love the twinkle twinkle! that's great.

9:14am noel:

Brewer and Shipley did a nice cover too.

9:14am fleabane:

Waking up to Jimmy Pepper and the others are giving me hope. Yippee!

♥ 9:15am MD:

Good Morning Freeform Spirits!

9:15am TDK60:

Been to several pow wows over the years.

♥ 9:15am tom from Glasgow:

good morning Ken, i wish you gastric peace

♥ 9:16am MD:

may the beefheart live on in our souls!!! and our hearts!

♥ 9:16am N.A.R.D.:

This is easily the second best version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star I've ever heard!

9:17am Linda Lee:

what's the best one?

♥ 9:18am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Bronwyn B - You were at Monty Hall Saturday and Bronwyn C was there. You didn't combine into some kind of super-Bronwyn, though. Huh.

♥ 9:18am fred:

A long track I like a lot: Nisennenmondai's Fan (well over 30 minutes)

♥ 9:19am steveo:

every once in a while the guy with the green hood hits that drum at the exact moment there's an actual bass drum in my headphones and that is a time that I am glad I am not dead

♥ 9:19am tom from Glasgow:

Bronwyns A-E

♥ 9:19am fred:

@Ken From Hyde Park: When Bronwyn A joins the station, look out!

9:21am Linda Lee:

what's the name of the mind-trick that matches a visual pattern to a beat, even if they don't actually coincide? anyone?

9:22am Linda Lee:

-Ken, this morning's show is actually medicinal. but you know that.

♥ 9:23am N.A.R.D.:

Linda Lee, Isn't that the McGurk Effect?

9:23am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I remember looking-up (in a book, it was pre-Web) the mycoplasmic bronchitis that had floored me for a week, finding that it was sometimes called 'walking pneumonia', and thinking 'So _that_'s where that Chuck Berry line comes-from.'. Then I remembered how many classic movies I knew first from their "MAD" magazine parodies.

Meanwhile, the pollen-count in the far northern suburbs appears to be in the low ℵ-nulls….

♥ 9:23am tom from Glasgow:

Linda: a form of pareidolia?

9:23am Wild Neil||Peace All:

The lava gif was a fake. She fell into the ocean.

♥ 9:23am N.A.R.D.:

Or does that only apply to speech?

♥ 9:23am -Ken:

Did the chatboard really freeze up?

♥ 9:24am N.A.R.D.:

Ken, yes, it was freezing up for several minutes at a time, followed by sudden bursts of messages and another freeze.

9:24am noel:

many times it froze up.

♥ 9:24am tom from Glasgow:

a few times during Wake, for 5-10 minute stretches, yes

9:24am Linda Lee:

it sure did during Wake! big time!

9:25am Linda Lee:

there's just a lag now.

♥ 9:25am Vivian:

Anyone here on the board live in Asheville, NC? Got a question.

9:26am Linda Lee:

asheville jon isn't in yet, Vivian, but i lived there for about 8 years in the 90s, if that helps. :-)

♥ 9:28am Ken From Hyde Park:

What's the trick that Peter Pan used to help Tinkerbell? Can everybody clap real hard and heal the ailing DJ? Also, is it too late to sign up for meth lab camp?

9:28am Linda Lee:

@tom from Glasgow ~ thanks for 'pareidolia', i'll have to look that up.

♥ 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park:

Ack! Whoops! There goes lava girl!

9:29am cobradan:

I am detecting a theme

♥ 9:31am Vivian:

@Linda Lee,thank you for the offer! I'm trying to find a time to go camping but the weather forecast shows rain every day. Excluding the current conditions, I'm thinking it's your usual thunderstorms in the afternoon. Or is late May the rainy season for Asheville?

♥ 9:31am -Ken:

But this page has not yet frozen up yet, correct?

9:32am jess:

this song is ruined

♥ 9:32am tom from Glasgow:

this page has been fine

9:32am TDK60:

it has, back round 9:05 for several minutes.

9:32am FːˡFːˡ (:

A long song? What about the opening track from Yes' Tales from Topographic Oceans? It takes so long that the keyboard intro melody last 4.5 hours!

♥ 9:33am tom from Glasgow:

@Linda: it's the same phenomenon that enables us to "see" shapes in clouds and hear satanic messages in records played backwards. basically humans are big on pattern-spotting.

9:34am Linda Lee:

don't recall a 'rainy season' to speak of there. but the season is advanced of what we have up north, so the north's summer afternoon thunderstorms will start up a bit earlier there.

♥ 9:35am fred:

@Ken: no freeze so far

9:35am Linda Lee:

i lived in a tepee for an entire summer season up on mt. pisgah & i don't recall life being hindered much by rain. ;-)

9:37am Linda Lee:

@tom from Glasgow ~ yep, that must be the word i want. thanks.

9:37am FːˡFːˡ (:

Ken,

Keep posting more lava gifs to unfrozen the page. It has worked so far!

9:37am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Linda Lee:
Unfortunately (I think) modern Ken's Shows, bred for generations under lights and the threat of imminent arrest, have had their commercially valuable Carboxyschlampfenidiyetizine (CSNY) levels maximised, bringing them out of balance with the more medicinally useful constituents. Some health food stores have started selling oil extracts of these latter, particularly schlampfide alpha-Xenomorphine (SAX, street-name 'chest-buster'), but the Attorney General has threatened to shut them down over it and, anyway, it involves potentially irritating interaction with health food store customers.

♥ 9:39am Sem:

Ha! Brilliant ^.

9:39am Linda Lee:

makes sense!

9:41am Linda Lee:

Bill, you fucking freak.

9:41am Roberto:

To be fair, Bill was probably pretty knowledgeable about the effects of these drugs.

9:41am cory:

ken, are you listening to Behind the Bastards?

♥ 9:41am steveo:

well, this is rather unfortunate isn't it

♥ 9:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

You can tell something's amiss. There's usually a mic break or yakity sax by this time. Feel better, -Ken.

9:42am TDK60:

Linda, that sounds fun, the teepee living; maybe.

♥ 9:42am MD:

MR. SEXY!! WHAT A LADY KILLER!

9:42am Linda Lee:

it was an amazing experience. truly.

♥ 9:42am tom from Glasgow:

i feel high as shit

♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

BC would've made a more convincing drug argument if he did it in the voice of Mush Mouth.

♥ 9:43am Vivian:

@Linda - Thank you for the advice. We're looking at the Smoky Mtns for some hiking and biking. I'm intrigued, tell me more about your season in the tepee.

9:43am FːˡFːˡ (:

Is Ken's show the cause or the symptom of the opioid crisis?

♥ 9:43am fred:

I sadly have to go. And a doctor appointment is going to make me miss Felder time at 11. Did Ken record a poopyflute version?

9:45am northguineahills:

The California "I heart WFMU" license plate has the same insurer as I (I got grandfathered in via my father).

♥ 9:45am N.A.R.D.:

Are we listening to the .wav files off a video game CD?

9:45am Linda Lee:

@Vivian ~ that would be a book. it was good. you like camping, so you have an idea. just imagine what you'd learn & experience with a 6 month camp-out in a conical dwelling, in a friendly, lovely place.

9:45am northguineahills:

@tom from Glasgow: Lucky you!

9:46am noel:

Feels like someone pulled the plug on you. You need antibiotics.

♥ 9:46am joe mulligan:

sounded like Mila Kunis

9:47am JFR:

I still hear Laurel

♥ 9:48am Sebastian:

damn work, I'm missing out on all the playlist fun

♥ 9:48am N.A.R.D.:

I have heard both Laurel and Yammy, depending on the volume at the time it starts playing.

9:48am FːˡFːˡ (:

JFR,

I know! I think it's only milennials that hear Yanni.

9:48am northguineahills:

Pronouns are for the lazy.

♥ 9:49am fred:

@ngh: "grandfathered via my father" looks like it could be a step of "I'm my own grandpa"

♥ 9:49am Dave in Vermont:

creepy record cover:
www.joeydevilla.com...

9:49am JFR:

Little kids and dogs like Yanni

9:49am Davee:

Donut plague?

9:50am northguineahills:

Black Lodge Singers, a Twin Peaks reference?

9:50am FːˡFːˡ (:

Did I say Yanni? HA! I mean to say Yammy. I was drunk with Greek wine when I said Yanni.

9:51am northguineahills:

laughter out loud, fred!

♥ 9:51am N.A.R.D.:

I think you need to turn down the bass and turn up the treble to hear Yammy

9:52am Linda Lee:

kind of doubt it's about twin peaks, ngh. en.wikipedia.org...

♥ 9:52am AnAnonymousParty:

Even people suspected of dressing like Charlton Heston?

♥ 9:54am karlward:

Every time I heard this Wooden Shijps track I think it's Miracle Legion for a moment.

9:54am noel:

Prying the 45's out of his cold dead hands.

9:54am Linda Lee:

when i touched 'er my hand just froze.

9:54am βrian:

Blue, blue skies over the isthmus today. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

9:55am northguineahills:

@Linda Lee: So, more then likely, same reference (originally where Lynch got the idea based on the geography)

9:55am Linda Lee:

that's a decent guess. sure.

9:57am Linda Lee:

just take it easy there, Ken. long tracks & relax.

♥ 9:58am Sebastian:

yay!

9:58am Linda Lee:

please play 'tuchus' though. #tuchusnation

9:59am queems:

are comments back? i’m busy working for once

10:00am βrian:

Should be clatter our cups against the bars and chant, Pneumonia Walking!"?

♥ 10:00am -Ken:

Legal ID time coming up a little late: 201-209-9368 and then say: WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, In New York City and Rockland County at 91.9 fm and online at wfmu dot org, Old lady judges watch people in pairs Limited in sex, they dare To tell fake morals, insult and stare While money doesn't talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony

♥ 10:01am ♪ke:

91.1 FM sounds good in Newark. Haitian guys still shouting at 90.9 and 91.3, though. Anybody else in northern NJ hearing that? Can you understand any of it? They seem to go on and off a lot during the day to try to avoid THE MAN.

♥ 10:02am Vivian:

@Karlward, I haven't heard anyone mention Miracle Legion in years! Brings me back to college days.

10:02am noel:

quoting the master.

10:02am FːˡFːˡ (:

Ken failed to mention the Legal ID has to be said in a Mickey Mouse accent to fully comply with the FCC

♥ 10:03am Megaroni:

All hail Sir Ken, our fabulous leader!

♥ 10:04am tadpole:

"a Mickey Mouse accent"

♥ 10:05am tadpole:

I love that idea that there's a country where everyone talks in some variation of a mickey mouse voice.

10:05am TDK60:

>broadcast report> north manhattan> both 91.1 & 91.9 fm ok.

♥ 10:05am tadpole:

Morningn Kenbagios, welcome to Donut Time

10:06am Linda Lee:

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TUCHUS!!!!!!!! bravissssssimo!!!!

♥ 10:06am Brian C.:

Does The Passionate & Objective Jokerfan have a song about Don Felder? That could be the antidote to He@vy Met@l

♥ 10:07am tadpole:

tuchus

10:07am Fletcher Fletcher:

Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules?

10:07am Nick S.:

tUCHUS

10:07am Linda Lee:

Ken i love you.
and your tuchus.

10:07am Nick S.:

You got a nice tuchus.

10:08am βrian:

Someone should do the ID after huffing on some sulfur hexafluoride. Matt would do that.

10:08am Listener Robert:

Sounds like you've been having the same thing that's put me down the past 3 weeks: parainfluenza B bronchiolitis, a condition usually associated with babies. In my case it triggered my atrial fibrillation, and the treatment reactivated my shingles, so fat-fingered typing with the numbness. Sleeping's been hard with orthopnea -- sucking wind lying down. Can't be on my feet more than about a minute aat a time either, though. Have a lot of work to get back to if I ever can. I can scarcely imagine what it'd've been like had I been in radio, but I was substituted for the last few weeks of the term teaching.

10:09am Vincent Nifigance:

TUCHUS!

10:10am Listener Robert:

Oh, yeah, and now burning watery diarrhea from the drugs!

10:10am northguineahills:

Brian C is full of good ideas!

♥ 10:10am tadpole:

Damn man, bad enough someone's sick, you don't have to say "its a condition usually associated with babies". ;)

♥ 10:11am tom from Glasgow:

i like the bit when he says "tuchus"

10:11am βrian:

@LR: Did doc discuss the new shingles vaccine? No idea if it helps for existing cases.

♥ 10:11am steveo:

what's the story on those middle ages gifs? they are compelling.

♥ 10:12am Sem:

Isn't Burning Watery Diarrhea a most excellent band name?

10:13am βrian:

We had a cat who came down with babies, once.

10:13am TDK60:

Also have been sick, taking 2 anti-bios. Lots of people I know have been sick recently.

♥ 10:13am Sem:

Ah, the babid cat. Horrible.

10:14am noel:

take lysine it helps with shingles.

♥ 10:14am tadpole:

absolutely oozing with babies. just awful.

10:14am FːˡFːˡ (:

By the way, a very special thanks for whoever unravel here in the comments few weeks ago what Tuchus means. All my life I had always listened to Tuchus with the innocence of a small child thinking Tuchus was the cutey voice in the song. THANKS FOR NOTHIING!!!

10:15am Listener Robert:

I've been vaccinated for it. The symptoms are in nerves where it activated in 2012, pre-vaccine. At least this time it's only numbness, not pain.

The reason I say bronchiolitis is usually assocated with babies is that I studied it in pediatrics long ago. Although I'm asthmatic, the wheezing I'm familiar with was nothing like the low tone rhonchi this gave on both inspiration and expiration.

10:16am noel:

you're not from around here then?

10:16am Linda Lee:

@TDK60 ~ just remember your probiotics with your antibiotics! keep your digestion happy.

10:16am still b/p:

Must find my cassette of Pretzel Logic transferred from someone else’s LP 40 years ago.

10:16am TDK60:

Thanks LL.

♥ 10:17am Sem:

Thank you, Listener Robert. Running now to educate myself about "rhonchi."

10:17am northguineahills:

My digestion is rarely happy. When I can cook my meals for myself, and am stress free, it's a lot smoother.

10:17am northguineahills:

Tom Ze!

10:18am Linda Lee:

go with a good quality probiotic. yougurt *isn't* enough! i'm using Jarrow formulations to help with digestive issues associated with Lyme & they're very effective!

10:19am Linda Lee:

ngh, yep, managing stress does seem key to the whole game.

♥ 10:19am karlward:

Ah yes, the French Steely Dan.

♥ 10:19am tadpole:

bears can do anything

10:20am βrian:

@NGH: Are you saying you have an exit strategy?

10:20am Linda Lee:

.. but they're much happier if you don't make them do it.

10:22am zopa:

nervös

♥ 10:23am -Ken:

I have a bunch of old anti-biotics at home but I've been resisting taking them for some unknown reason

10:23am FːˡFːˡ (:

Matthew Waterme and the Desdemonas!

♥ 10:23am tom from Glasgow:

lavioli

♥ 10:24am tadpole:

@linda it reminds me of a terrible robert schimmel joke (which I'll probably get wrong): "i took my kid to the circus and he asked 'daddy how do they teach a bear to ride a bike?' I told him 'they nail its feet to the pedals and beat the shit out of it'"

10:24am Linda Lee:

-Ken ~ meh. dump 'em! antibiotics need to be prescribed to suit what's going on at the moment.

♥ 10:25am tadpole:

terrible in that I laughed at it and have remembered it for decades

10:26am Linda Lee:

@tadpole ~ that's just what i always imagined they did. must be some truth to it. ;-)

♥ 10:26am tadpole:

ah, the circus :/

♥ 10:27am -Ken:

Jaysuss Linda, dont throw out the baby with the bathwater, OR the antibiotics. I just need somebody here to prescribe them. I have some cerufoxim or somethibng like that and I have chest congestion, fatigue and upper body / headaches

♥ 10:27am crateslinger:

I have found that the best cure for sickness is to lay about complaining. Eventually I start to feel better. EVERYTIME!!

10:28am Linda Lee:

wish i could help, Ken. alas, i don't write out prescriptions for friends any more.

♥ 10:28am ♪ke:

Aaaaaand, both previously-mentioned NJ Haitian pirates that box in WFMU seem to have gone off the air at 10 a.m.

10:28am βrian:

I'm leery of antibiotics, but when a good friend bit me on the hand, resulting in infection and swelling to the size of a boxing glove, I went for the antibiotics. Two shots in the glutes and an oral regimen.

10:29am northguineahills:

@Linda Lee: I once had 10-year old antibiotics during a period w/o health care and got seriously ill. Thankfully, I knew they would help my ailment and worked perfectly (antibiotics just lose potency w/ age). (It's been the only time I've taken antibiotics in 20 years).

10:29am noel:

Transference is good medicine

10:29am Linda Lee:

just have to get the right anitbiotic for what's going on. and, they *don't* help with viruses. don't even bother with that.

10:30am Listener Robert:

-Ken, they gave me a course of cefuroxime with this starting with my hospitalization. Before that in the ED at Newton Hosp. they started me on azithromycin.

The antibiotics are only prophylactic, so unlikely to make you feel better, -Ken. In fact they'll upset your stomach.

10:30am noel:

next time wear a garlic necklace.

10:31am Linda Lee:

@Listener Robert ~ that's why ya need the darn probiotics.

♥ 10:31am Ken From Hyde Park:

If you have ear congestion, my advice is to _not_ use a Water Pik device to dislodge the blockage. Seek medical assistance instead.

♥ 10:31am tadpole:

ken, fyi you're not supposed to smoke the antibiotics.

♥ 10:31am crateslinger:

Codeine, valium, percocet, seconal, tuonal, phenobarbital, dilaudid, 'ludes, weed, and whisky seem to help as well.

♥ 10:32am crateslinger:

snort some meth and you'll feel great!

10:32am Listener Robert:

True, LL. I was trying to get by on active cutlure yogurt from ShopRite, but who knows how viable those bugs are on the shelf?

10:33am FːˡFːˡ (:

Ken,

According to Dr Idon T Cure from the prestigious Mayo Naise Clinic you drink a cerufoxim tablet every hour. In case you are still alive after 48 hours, consult with another specialist.

10:33am Linda Lee:

hardly. if the product is pasteurized there's nothing left. it's a marketing thing.

10:35am Listener Robert:

It's not pasteurized, just refrigerarted, but they'll never give you a CFU count.

10:35am FːˡFːˡ (:

I'm in doubt here. Is this the No Doubt woman singing?

10:35am Linda Lee:

buy yogurt 'cause you like it. not for the medicine! :-)

10:35am TDK60:

LL -- kombucha must be better than yogurt for pro-bios?

10:35am βrian:

A strong decoction of ginger never hurts. And some of Mom's miso soup.

10:36am Linda Lee:

haven't looked into kambucha. i just do the pillsies.

10:37am noel:

Anyone for Tanis?

10:37am Listening Out There:

- Welcome to the Food Channel -

♥ 10:37am Ken From Hyde Park:

A spoonful of locally-sourced, raw honey will make the pills sweeter.

10:37am Linda Lee:

so much simpler! fermented foods are good for digestion, though.

10:37am northguineahills:

(I used to read my father's Journal of the Medical Association as a kid)

10:38am Linda Lee:

wow. i read comic books! :-D

10:39am βrian:

Didn't Dr. Smith come to his end by falling into a vat of kombucha?

10:39am northguineahills:

By age 5, I made my mother take to library, and went through the non-fiction section by the age of 10 (I was weird)

10:40am Linda Lee:

When I was that age, NGH, I'd read the Disney's Encyclopedia. I still remember the prertty cartoons. But not the knowledge itself.

10:52am still b/p:

After the orgy = après skeeve.

10:53am Linda Lee:

love that orgy song almost as much as i love 'tuchus'. & that's a lot.

♥ 10:54am tadpole:

whoever invented the lap dance probably has no problem in the tuchus department. I'm guessing.

♥ 10:54am Passaic River Blues:

Still B/P for the win with "Après le skeeve"!

♥ 10:54am -Ken:

@Beast, I suppose the Orgy song did not set off the alarm because it is a song of consensual friendship.

10:55am βrian:

It's nice that, as 11 am approaches, there's no sense of trepidation and ennui on the playlist.

10:55am the illuminated void:

Dowdy Feathers?

11:00am Thelma Blitz:

Tuli K. was a member of the League of Sexual Freedom at the time he wrote After The Orgy, early 60s. They really had them in those pre-AIDs days. Great to hear you guys playing Jeff's new CD,

11:00am FːˡFːˡ (:

And that's, my friends, how you make the much anticipated Ken's show official anthem.

I applaud you Legal ID Caller, and with both hands for better effect!

11:01am AndrewC.:

Georgy Girl is the first song I ever remember liking as a kid

11:03am Vincent Nifigance:

It was 'Downtown' though...

11:04am Vincent Nifigance:

The man is delirious! The Goat Alarm is trying to tell us.

11:04am Chillbo Camron:

It was sung to the tune of 'Downtown'.

11:04am Linda Lee:

yes, it was.

11:04am Sam:

Yes it was Downtown.

♥ 11:04am tadpole:

why bake the bread when you can buy it at the store

Nothing connotes despair like cigarettes and playing cards.

11:04am Vincent Nifigance:

I was pleased to hear Georgy Girl though.

11:04am Lixiviated Life:

... yes Downtown (where all the light are low)

♥ 11:04am Walt:

The movie "Georgy Girl" is terrific. James Mason at his most saturnine, Lynn Redgrave's best role, great support from Alan Bates and Charlotte Rampling, and an unusual comic-dramatic story.

11:04am Sam:

Can you play the goat alarm in super slow motion?

11:05am Linda Lee:

just brilliant, Sam!

11:05am βrian:

Ooh, and nunchucks on the doorknob!

11:05am Sam:

Thanks Linda!

11:06am Sam (:

It was not only sung in the tune of Downtown but in the tune of Downtown by Mrs Miller. Right, Sam?

11:07am Linda Lee:

unprotected, promiscuous sex. the worst that could happen was pregnancy. & that could be handled. those were the days, baby.

Tuli COOPferberg. Kupfer berg means copper mountain in German. It is not pronounced cupf ( like Yiddish for head) though many make that mistake.

11:16am Linda Lee:

@TDK60 ~ pretty likely! they'll grow just about anywhere.

11:17am TDK60:

But the Fugs are pronounced ug like tugboat. Not Foogz.

11:17am βrian:

Yes, and "Calvary" is carved into the table. Or is that Cavalry?

♥ 11:19am tadpole:

Jesus could be causing a poppy blightt in Afghanistan but instead he's sneaking into shooting galleries and stealing hardworking people's dope. Real savior, that guy.

♥ 11:19am Ken From Hyde Park:

Goat alarm, indeed: www.cnn.com...

11:20am noel:

How come there was no opiate crisis when the people dying were not white?

♥ 11:21am -Ken:

Downtown, Georgy Girl, what's the difference.. other than melody, instrumentation and personnel?

11:22am Linda Lee:

wasn't it said that Christ was given gall on the cross? gall = opium, probably something like laudanum.

11:22am Chi Bill:

I just got a call from the United States Federal Dept of Grants. The man had such a heavy accent I had to ask him to repeat 3 times. He said I have $9k coming with no repayment. I hung up. Did I just lose a bunch of money?

11:22am FːˡFːˡ (:

Talking about savior, tadpole. Here's another -I'd say- classic Jesus painting from the same artist:

https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54642373e4b024e8934bf4f4/54642b97e4b0f2a48d5b38e2/55eb0c2ce4b0296394969305/1441467436904/Undefeated.jpg?format=300w

It could be titled 'Jesus, the Undefetead, as Rocky Balboa'

11:23am TDK60:

And, when did 'opiates' get turned into 'opioids'?

11:23am Chi Bill:

Wow, I heard they offered Christ vinegar but this is news.

@FF lol - let's see him take on Mike Tyson

11:24am Linda Lee:

oh dear, the opiates/opioids thing. most people using the terms don't know what they're talking about, so they're interchangeable.

11:24am zopa:

@ken: socioeconomic ranking?

♥ 11:25am tadpole:

@ChiBill that vinegar thing always bugged me as a kid. if I was tortured and then left to die and someone tried to put vinegar in my mouth I'd be pissed.

♥ 11:26am Sebastian:

oh no

11:26am TDK60:

LL: they're 2 different things?

11:26am 23 Wolves:

Have Falco and Rammstein ever spent time together, socially?

♥ 11:26am austin:

are the gifs automatically selected or handpicked?

♥ 11:27am Sebastian:

Ken: Album for Falco is "Falco 3", published on GiG Records

11:27am Sam:

Is religion the opioid of the masses? Or the opiate?

♥ 11:27am tadpole:

but now that Linda makes it clear it was some opium drink, I get it.

11:28am TDK60:

Oh, opiates = illegal? opioids = pharma legal?

11:28am northguineahills:

Rammstein!

11:28am Chi Bill:

Right, Tadpole. They were quite mean (according ton the prevailing fairy tale).

11:28am Linda Lee:

@TDK60 ~ see? they are! 'opiate' refers to chemical consituency. 'opioid' refers to the effect on the brain.

11:28am noel:

Zabadak?

@Austin - The GIFs are handselected by an artisinal robotic GIF-Handler (me)

11:29am TDK60:

11:29am Linda Lee:

Take a ball pass it back and forth every weekend and have millions watch and you have it in a nutshell

11:36am FːˡFːˡ (:

Austin,

What really happens here is each GIF you see here was handpicked by Bangladeshi children. The little kids get paid with Ken's old antibiotics. It's not as bad as it seems because children sell them for a big profit.
