Heat Map: Ken's show

Listener comments!

8:48am cory:

morning all!

🚽

9:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

Zebra Trucks!

9:00am Fredericks:

My favorite Ken song.

9:01am Fredericks:

Usually portends hilarity.

🚽

9:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

Maybe Adam Ant's eye swishes will make a comeback.

9:05am Sebastian:

morning!

9:05am Listener Scott:

I'm a lawyer who rep'd a lot of Occupy defendants and it was pretty well established that the police sent in undercovers. It came up in a bunch of different cases.

9:06am Chud:

I like the timer! Giving some tough love to Clay

🚽

9:07am Webhamster Henry:

False flagging / agent provocteur-ing is a cost effective way to destroy an organization.

9:08am Mark Hurst:

"It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology": consequenceofsound.net...

9:09am Cool Runnings:

Hey

9:10am John from florham park:

@Mark hurst interesting knew I liked the ICP for some unknown reason
@Webhamster I think the FBI still does it not to be too paranoid

🚽

9:12am -Ken:

@scott but did the cops ship in homeless kids? I talked to a lot of runanways there and none of them seemed like they had been shipped in by The Man.

9:15am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Agents provacateurs? Sending homeless in? Those assume that Occupy 0.) were a real problem for the powers-that-be and 1.) were important enough to bother oppressing in _fancy_ ways, and I don't believe that either of those were true.

9:16am zopa:

I challenge you to play Harris and Quine track for the remainder of the show.

🚽

9:18am -Ken:

I agree with you Murakami. Now let us never speak of Zuccoti Park ever again.

9:19am Ike:

Today’s most American question so far: if it says “Back Off, Baby on Board!” w/a silhouette of a gun on the back of a car, does that mean the gun is named Baby?

9:19am Chris from DC:

Th'LOG, yes!

9:21am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Note the article's burying the lede '…except for Apple' which means everyone else know how to adapt—and, of course, if you repeatedly use the _same_ Juggalo makeup, it recognises _that_.

🚽

9:22am AnAnonymousParty:

@Ike: It means the baby is armed with a pistol and you don't want to mess with that, infants can sometime have short tempers.

9:24am Sean from Iowa:

The baby in this scenario is also probably about 55 years old.

9:26am Luisa24:

Love Ancora Tu. I was 14 and living in Italy when the original by Lucio Battisti came out!

9:28am dano59:

Greovy! Reminds me of a disco bacchanal in Greece

🚽

9:32am Webhamster Henry:

I sang this version of Don't You Want Me as Karaoke.

🚽

9:32am Ken From Hyde Park:

Let us now adjourn to the cocktail bar, the cocktail bar, ... .

9:32am adrian elaine in mpls:

this is the only acceptable version of this song

9:33am Chris from DC:

Working in a Cocktail Bar, yes! One of the funniest things I've heard in recent memory.

9:33am ZCS:

I'm not sure a song has made me laugh this hard in a long time. I love this shit.

9:33am Phillippe Bastille:

I wonder where she worked?

9:35am Listener Scott:

@Ken, police shipping in homeless kids never came up, so far as I'm aware, but undercovers were plentiful and often the loudest agitators. I may have misunderstood what you were responding to in your discussion w/ Clay.

9:35am Losermom:

I'm late!!

9:35am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Dan:
I always assumed that Lecter was inspired by Blake by way Batman—'One law for the lion and ox is oppression.'. Lecter takes as given that because he is so different to 'normal human'—intelligence, strength, weird eyes, polydactyly—that the rules for them can't rightly apply to him. He was introduced in a book revolving around an image from Blake.

Personally, I found him uninteresting in "…Lambs"—too competent, Superman without Kryptonite—and haven't bothered with his subsequent appearances. I'm particularly uninterested in attempts to give him a backstory, as I think him _designed_ to be unexplainable.

9:35am Losermom:

. . .to the show.

9:37am fleep:

I'm later.

9:38am cuteCloud:

i love these gifs :')

9:39am ami a.d.:

Top of the morning D.J.,top of the day to all wide web.

9:40am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Hmm, 'Klendathu' is from where the 'Bugs' in "Starship Troopers" come.

9:42am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Now, for some reason, I want to watch…CARTOOOONS!

9:44am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Frustrations of childhood: I always rooted solidly for Sylvester and Tom.

9:52am Blacktooth:

Is that song about drugs? I'm picking up some metaphors for drug use, here.

9:53am JakeGould:

@Blacktooth: It’s about hugs. Free hugs. The kind that various religious folks give out for free in Union Square every now and then.

9:55am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Obviously 'methedrine and heroin' is a metaphor for 'dexedrine and codeine'.

🚽

9:55am Webhamster Henry:

This guy sounds like he's on acorns.

9:56am Blacktooth:

@JakeGould: Ahaa.... Yes, yes. I see. Thanks for the clarification. Can't wait to smoke me a hug and see what happens.

9:58am Blacktooth:

Also, @Ken: the David Mann "cocaine and chicks flying though space on a cocaine mirror" painting is the stuff of midwestern biker legend. An iconic image.

10:01am (((Murakami Whywolf):

JakeGould:
This image is how I first encountered the phrase 'Free Hugs':
www.humoar.com...

🚽

10:02am Ken From Hyde Park:

Neither hugs nor drugs; I'm in the shrugs camp.

🚽

10:11am Rich in Washington:

@Ken: Are you talking about Blitzed? I started watching it. It's bonkers. I couldn't finish it because it was bedtime and it was making me dizzy, but I plan on watching it later.

🚽

10:12am Rich in Washington:

...says it's based on the bestselling book, “Der Totale Rausch”

10:17am (Murakami Whywolf))):

The Allies were more benzedrine and dexedrine, methedrine being judged to be too crash-y.

The documentary I saw failed to show the ads for Pervitin aimed at housewives, and gave only glancing attention to speed use among our civilian war workers…and ignored the post-war effects of lots of diverted product dumped on the streets. I don't know anything about Japanese use during The War, but have gathered from movies that it helped fuel their rebuilding and enriched the yakuza.

10:18am zopa:

clap your hands!

🚽

10:19am -Ken:

Also popular during World War Two was pharmaceutical ergotamine, which is basically a microdose of LSD

10:20am βrian:

Clapping with one hand. Listening with both ears.

10:21am Chris from DC:

I suspect winged things may have trouble with the admonition to clap their hands.

🚽

10:21am -Ken:

The Allies solved the meth crash problem by embedding the meth into a plastic pill, forcing it to be time released. That drug was called Desoxyn and was very popular with the Warhol factory crowd.

10:23am βrian:

All I've got is espresso. Should I not be here?

10:24am herb.nyc:

just tuned in (tho I heard "cocktail bar" earlier - give that song an honorary grammy.) and I see drug talk here. I very straight edge but love hearing about such. workmates had a story of a guy who saw a pill on floor and simply popped it in. this was bk in the 60s in college.

10:26am tripod:

Take me to this church. I think.

10:26am peepo:

hollerin' and strokin'

10:32am (((Murakami Whywolf):

For what did they use the ergotamine? It can be useful for migraine…

🚽

10:34am -Ken:

Yeah, that's what they took it for - seizures and migraines

10:34am (Murakami Whywolf))):

We haven't yet had the obligatory mention of raiding o.t.c. benzedrine inhalers for their little strips and dunking those in drinks.

10:42am Hubig Pie:

The backside of a horse/cow/zebra costume is a hard days work.

10:42am (((Murakami Whywolf):

White Rose: the only petroleum jelly actively opposing the Nazis.

🚽

10:43am Webhamster Henry:

WFMU needs to fund itself with a freeform designer drug. Street name: Olga, Wing or Khlam.

🚽

10:43am Webhamster Henry:

What's the carbon footprint of petroleum jelly?

10:43am Kerbo:

I was thinking the white t Rose system in Roselle park...

10:43am Chris from DC:

Holy cow, yeah I remember that Highland Park joint.

10:44am JakeGould:

The contents of “Blitzed!” are sensationalistic, but really fall in to the world of “truthy.” Norman Ohler didn’t really reveal much that hasn’t been known but the way he did it (he’s mainly a novelist) is really wince worthy. Let’s just admit you don’t really need drugs to go to war or be a crazed loon of a soldier… But it helps!

10:44am Sebastian:

fun AND informative!

10:45am βrian:

Now I want to hear the Slim Chipley song.

10:45am Chreep:

Highland Park NJ Pride

10:46am Sebastian:

and disgusting!

10:46am prudy:

thanks Ken for the complete details...

10:46am SueAdynamo:

LOL someone sat in our dog's hot dog vomit this weekend. what a weekend

10:47am Blacktooth:

"What is the sound of 3,000 people stepping on vomit?" - weird Zen koan

10:48am JakeGould:

@Blacktooth: Woodstock ’99

10:48am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln:

they called it PANZERSCHOKOLADE >> tank chocolat

10:48am βrian:

Better to launch those hot dogs than to keep 'em in your stomach. Nitrosamines, yo.

10:49am Blacktooth:

@JakeGould: touche'

10:49am morphe':

Thanks Ken!!!!!!

10:53am zzz:

wow filmworks iii, love it! bringing me back!

🚽

10:57am -Ken:

Thanks zzz! Filmworks III makes Filmworks IV sound like Filmworks IX. YOU know what I mean.

10:58am tim from champaign:

Ken, I loved the annual Lee Iacoca tribute last week. May have been the best one yet. Will there be a Ross Perot tribute today?

🚽

11:01am AnAnonymousParty:

The Ross Perot tribute will consist of just a giant sucking sound, right?

🚽

11:03am -Ken:

Ross Perot Tribute coming right up

11:04am Chris from DC:

Will we get a Rip Torn tribute too?

11:05am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth and all the ships at sea.

11:09am WmKMoss:

Oh my this Munya tune Hotel Delmano is dreamy and idyllic.

11:10am Mister Dobalina:

Glad I caught the last hour of the super fantastic happy time Ken show!

11:11am JakeGould:

Ross Perot once gave Bernie Sanders a sword. twitter.com...

🚽

11:12am Webhamster Henry:

And Admiral Stockdale too, who died some time ago. www.youtube.com...

11:14am melinda:

I like the spontaneous yackety sax

11:15am Ike:

Anybody else occasionally getting minor bursts of static at 91.1 FM even when you're in a strong reception zone and there shouldn't be any static? Just got it again during "Crazy".

11:15am tim from champaign:

Crazy and Yakkety Sax is the perfect Ross Perot tribute.

11:15am Chris from DC:

He was a little dog called Snuggles.

🚽

11:15am Webhamster Henry:

Dead dog tribute will obviously be The Letter U and the Numeral 2.

11:16am Carmichael:

Casey Kasem did not like tributes to dead dogs.

11:17am BennettCap:

I was going to comment on what a beautiful version of Crazy that was. Then I got yakkety saxed.

11:18am Stashu:

That May Day song!!!!!

11:21am Laura L:

My brother used to work at Electronic Data Systems when Ross Perot owned it... Mr. Perot never knew that when he would fly in on a helicopter, some of the employees liked to watch at a window and say, THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!

11:27am JakeGould:

If Maya Lin were not classy she would deliver a plate of egg rolls to Ross Perot’s funeral. But she’s a classy lady so she would never do that.

11:27am herb.nyc:

this was just faxed to me, and you can get more info at INTERFERENCE ARCHIVE of park slope:

Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves
Exhibition dates: July 11 - September, 2019

Opening Exhibition: Thursday, July 11, 6-9pm

11:27am Carmichael:

This piano piece is a stirring tribute to Rip Torn.

11:33am βrian:

What's the egg roll reference? I'm starving to know.

11:34am βrian:

Oh, I found a reference. Well, Maya got it right.

11:35am TigerSoul:

Always discover something new and very cool on FMU, this time around it was "Hotel Delmano" from Munya. This track has "summer soundtrack material" written all over it.

11:42am tim from champaign:

I was really hoping for a cover of Mandy, not Angie.

11:43am jan:

@Ken- Glad to give back! Great to hear that track again.Was just looking into getting Emerson Kitamura as a download. I'm an old timer and want a physical capture for music...but don't want to pay up for vinyl!

11:45am Evan From Seattle:

This mashup is amazing. DJ Cummerbund has struck gold once again

🚽

11:46am yippie:

wow Hebrew and greek on one box

🚽

11:46am -Ken:

Jan - Im with you, I prefer a digital file as opposed to spotify access which can disappear at any time. Lemee know if you get a copy of that track.

11:46am herb.nyc:

whenever I hear the word Jesus, I think of Cher (not). but since her b'way show is gonna close soon I might sneak in during intermission. does she die at the end?

11:50am Phillippe Bastille:

Thank you Stashe

11:51am Carmichael:

At the boozer the other night, the bartender's girlfriend was sitting at the bar perusing her iPhone. I heard her constant banter of "Hey babe? Babe? Hey? Daniel? Hey babe?" It was mind numbing.

11:51am Chi Bill:

HelloHiHoney-what? I wish I could hear your wonderful show more than I'm able at work, Ken. OUTSTANDING! And Cher started out cool but hey.
