♥ 8:00am AnAnonymousParty:

GM youse guyses. I need music to help me spend the entire day soldering. Any barbershop quartet with a raggae beat?

8:11am cory:

morning everyone

♥ 8:18am -Ken:

Any requests? After 9am they become MUCH harder to fulfill even if I want to..

8:22am jan:

Booty Bank was running through my head much of a sleepless night.

8:22am cory:

how about some Tad?

♥ 8:26am AnAnonymousParty:

I've always wanted to learn how to speak Hawaiian.

♥ 8:28am Ken From Hyde Park:

Probably a good a week as any for some lovely Russian music. Plenty of Russians in the White House, so a good chance to entertain them.

8:36am Listener Robert:

Today looks angelic, The lines are on fire with people wanting to call you, and you'll be dogged with new opportunities coming seemingly from nowhere. You'll twitch with excitement as new business erupts and you crawl from phone to phone. You're an Old Master at dealing with a heavy load, even if cartoonishly, as you pour it on. But if you just leave them hanging, you'll be thought a heel, so smile as you scroll thru, and remember nothing's as big as it seems.

8:40am ֏0֏0 (:

Requests:
- Protomartyr!
- Descartes a Kant!
- Pussy Riot! (this complies with Ken from HP 's request)
- Mary Schneider (anyything where she yodels)

Non-requests:
- Mary Schneider (anyything where she sings)
- Candie Hank (this doesn't complies with jan/s request)

8:40am Listener Robert:

Today's GIFoscope was done on Magic Bus, the laptop my friend Nancy sent me a year and a half ago but turned on only this week, so the GIFs didn't clog my Linux-based desktop's (friend Andrew's old Spare) RAM.

Do you name your 'puters? I told Nancy I was naming this one Nancy unless she supplied another name, so Magic Bus (after the band, not the bus directly).

♥ 8:42am NotARealDoctor:

Not sure the name of the film that last image is from, but I definitely remember having seen that movie before

♥ 8:44am -Ken:

Thanks all! What was tje name of that band from the Czech republic that song either in Esperanto or their own made up language? Female singer?

8:45am ֏0֏0 (:

My goodness. I forgot my special (I don't know if I should) request (this or not):

- D-Sol - Fleetwood Mac remix

Believe it or not D-Sol is none other than the part-time DJ, new CEO of Goldman Sachs.

8:48am ֏0֏0 (:

DVA, Mr Ken Alzheimer!

♥ 8:48am -Ken:

DVA! I was confusing them with the Russian band Dsh Dsh

♥ 8:49am NotARealDoctor:

Oh I thought you meant the Slovakian band TEAM who sings in Esperanto

8:54am Alessandro from Italy:

Hope to hear Stockhausen-Octophony... never heard on FMu

8:56am ֏0֏0 (:

One year for a Linux machine to turn on! That's a premature birth, Robert. You normally have to wait a 18-month gestation period for the OS to fully develop. This is why they are so superior to the Windows PCs!

P.s. Thanks, Listener Robert for today's GIFoscope!

♥ 9:00am Sebastian:

yo, 'sup!

♥ 9:01am melinda:

Hiya Ken

9:01am Roberto:

I think that first gif merits a goat scream.

9:02am Vincent Nifigance:

Has Ken ever aired the Usher Goat scream?

9:02am Listener Robert:

No, FoFo, Magic Bus has Windows Vista installed. Spare I installed Fedora Linux on.

♥ 9:02am Sebastian:

I want to hear what she's hearing

9:05am thedunkel:

Good Morning Ken! Good morning all!

9:05am queems:

9:08am queems:

9:10am jdaFromCologne:

9:10am Sam:

I'd like to request Der Vampir von Dusseldorf by Oliver Hacke

9:10am jdaFromCologne:

9:12am Sam:

Is there a Klingon Khrist Superstar?

9:12am JFR:

Riddler!

9:13am Diezel Tea:

Hi Ken, you never cease to amaze me, us, them. Today folks I start my 2nd job, so my days from now on will be at work from 9am-9:30pm, with 1 hour for lunch. If only there were drugs in this land, but alas, we have none.((

9:13am northguineahills:

I only got "Get into the Groovy" on CD, man, I need the 12"!

9:13am Linda Lee:

Ken my dear! Good morning! Off to a bang-up start once again!

9:14am Roberto:

i was thinking about Into the Groovy yesterday and how it was due for an airing on 'FMU.

9:14am jdaFromCologne:

9:15am northguineahills:

♥ 9:24am The Oscar:

Loving the gifs this morning. Just stumbled across the source of the "New Swag" gif-- the incredibly weird "Daughter of Horror." It's on Prime, and highly recommended.

9:26am zopa:

9:33am βrian:

Ah. "Bogie!"

9:33am zopa:

Don't do it SMK. Don't do it!

9:34am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Damn, I didn't try '…80268' before the show's start and now all the …TOO_BIG… gif-encoded images won't be on ((location.href) +"/playlist_only") until the end of the programme. Why, why, did I think it might be '…71'? Why can I do nothing _important_ right?

(An older brother who was a teen in the times of "Animal House" thought the single most time-period–representative line in the whole thing was [as he paraphrased it] 'Why does she have to interrupt me when I'm doing something _important_?!'.)

9:34am ֏0֏0 (:

Ken, this is your mic break. You're supposed to talk.

9:35am Diezel Tea:

STOP SPEAKING KEN YE HEATHEN

9:35am Linda Lee:

.. yes. which always sounded like 'Buggy'.

9:35am βrian:

Few Notes Records — a great label.

9:36am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Locked-groove marathon?

9:37am Rover James:

♥ 9:38am Planet Tyler:

Triumph for prezident!

9:38am queems:

hell yes to this

9:38am βrian:

Burning garbage truck accident.

9:39am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Cambridge Analytics might have some time free to do your analysis…Frangry might win the Electoral College.

♥ 9:39am Stanley:

Hehe. We (the UK) are looking forward to being the puppet's puppet.

9:39am Linda Lee:

how nice to be living in a hazmat report.

9:39am zopa:

Potato Vodka!

♥ 9:39am melinda:

I feel like I've heard Moskau before.

9:40am (((Murakami Whywolf):

I.H. Trump the Insult Comic God

9:40am ras putin:

9:41am jdaFromCologne:

9:41am queems:

this song is a banger though

9:42am (Murakami Whywolf))):

queems:
Oh, come on now: this is obviously the Bad Timeline that the heroïne or hero must go back to prevent.

9:43am zopa:

More accordion music please.

9:43am queems:

@murakami they better hurry the hell up

9:43am jdaFromCologne:

rammstein… try laibach…

9:43am ֏0֏0 (:

Moscow! Why I still think this is a T.a.t.U went wrong song?

♥ 9:43am ifeelfatnsassy:

Moskau was used in a commercial in recent history, finished in 4th place in the 1979 Eurovision

9:44am Roberto:

What blew my mind most about the Russian language is that the name of a city can change depending on its place in a sentence. In the case of Moscow, if it's the subject in a sentence it's Moskva but if it's the object it's Mosku.

♥ 9:44am Sebastian:

sometimes I wish I didn't speak German....

9:44am βrian:

Hmm, I think I'm more in the mood to hear Italian.

9:46am ֏0֏0 (:

jdaFromCologne, Sebastian:

Hold on, my Rammy-haters! We non-Germans love the Rammstein! Cut us some slack!

♥ 9:46am ifeelfatnsassy:

Check that, it was just this crazy instructional dance video that made the internet rounds a few years back: www.youtube.com... (please do watch it...)

9:46am Linda Lee:

can't help thinking of Udo Kier & 'Der Adler' ..

9:47am Vladimir P.:

да.

♥ 9:47am Sebastian:

now that's what I call music!

9:47am thedunkel:

Coward and Traitors goo.gl...

9:48am karen eliot:

The people have the power. Consumer power. Let’s shut down the whole ugly system.

9:48am zopa:

All together!

9:49am Sam:

In Russian the names of people even change depending on their grammatical place in the sentence. And there are no definite or indefinite articles, so you don't know if it's "a car" or "the car". What a wacky language!

9:50am Linda Lee:

karen darling, whatever presents an inconvenience just won't fly. consumers are trained lazy.

9:50am Darth Vader:

No, I am your father.

9:50am Darth Vader:

No, I am not your father.

♥ 9:50am Webhamster Henry:

Russian uses "is" (ест) pretty rarely too .. very convenient if you are Bill Clinton!

9:51am Sam:

Ah, the collusion started back with Clinton!

9:52am ֏0֏0 (:

Roberto,

The name of a city? If that'd be true I'd be a Russian native speaker by now! Almost any word changes depending on its place in a sentence! Suka blyat, Russiya Yazik!

9:52am Linda Lee:

who's this? Commie Leonard Cohen?

9:53am Sam:

Plus they have like 10 time zones or something, so there's a good chance of using the wrong suffix and the wrong time of day.

9:54am Brendan:

This is arousing.

9:54am Art G.:

Добрый день, друзья! Кен, мы вас любим! :) It will never not be weird to hear something native here.

9:55am ֏0֏0 (:

More than sounding like a Commie Leonard Cohen, (Laibach guy) sounds more like a Constipated Leonard Cohen.

9:55am zopa:

@Sam: I think Negativland did a song about the time zones in Russia

9:56am Buddha of Suburbia:

Hi Ken! Hi everyone!

9:56am Brendan:

The goat alarm would be a nice accompaniment

9:57am anders:

Ken, здравствуйте! Excellent mix today. You might dig this Russian band from St. Petersburg, N.O.M. They've been around a long time, and are demented sufficiently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4Q-XCprjZk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RAdnT2RFXE

9:57am Linda Lee:

♥ 9:57am Webhamster Henry:

So where is the Khlam and Olga (Olena) Podluzhnaya in this Russian Federation set?

9:59am thedunkel:

10:01am ras putin:

10:01am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Hmm, a growly mash-up of the Russian versions of "Beasts of England" and "Animal Farm, Oh! Animal Farm", but not the 'Partiya Lenina, Partiya Stalina' version.

Let's have the original French now—or the Italian version that says that machines should be the workers' friends….

♥ 10:01am joeray:

"Otto Tomek may be offended."

10:01am Linda Lee:

Industry of Souls - joke

On joint forest survival maneuvers, 1 soviet soldier; 1 E German; 1 Czech.

The Czech says I can go and catch a rabbit, cook it and eat it in 30 minutes - he does so
The East German says I can do it in 2o - he does it
The Russian says, I can do it in 10 mins --- The EG and the CZ wait over an hour so go into the woods. They hear an animal howling... They find the russian, with a fire and a fox tied to a tree. The russian is burning the fox and yelling "ok you fucking fox...Where are the goddam rabbits????"

Given that the Soviet State Capitalists claimed they'd the superior economic system, winning by out-spending was entirely apt. Despite their similar murderousnesses (as opposed to ours) that's why Bolshevism was preferable to Fascism, whose only real metric was military success, meaning that the only way to make them lose on their own terms was to kill a lot of them and destroy their stuff.

We presumably had anarchy once; does Wolff provide a good reason why we couldn't expect to go from anarchy to something like feudalism right quick? As bad as what we've got now is, I consider mystified force an improvement over naked force, and don't see an end to force because it works.

@(Murakami Whywolf))): Wolff's approach is political philosophical. He concludes that no form of government short of unanimous direct democracy is legitimate if we don't want to compromise individual autonomy. Unanimous direct democracy is not impossible to achieve, but it isn't always practical. Take a look: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/robert-paul-wolff-in-defense-of-anarchism
