8:58am zopa:

Hi Ken . That cyanide disclaimer on the HazMat report was spectacular.

9:11am John McMahon:

♥ 9:11am -Ken:

OK John

♥ 9:12am Hugo (NL):

This Föllakzoid output is more techno then I remember them! Quite like it.

♥ 9:14am melinda:

Morning Ken and all! I like the dancey techno too.

9:15am queems:

love this

9:16am Roberto:

Coincidentally, I took my daughter for a double tooth extraction a few months ago.

9:16am John McMahon:

Thanks, This is a general call out to artists to participate in a publishing project, looking for 20 drawings from 20 people. Click here to check all the details, I'm really hoping to have all the drawings by the end of the month. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IXo3s8mtfa-btd4VAe5zJapSkkTeZmhEPqMjYPuMX-w/edit?usp=sharing

I recently ordered the Plantasia reissue from Sacred Bones, now I have to check out this and other stuff.

9:18am Last White Rhino:

Hi Ken, could you recommend a good non-yellowing acrylic floor wax???

♥ 9:18am crateslinger:

sup dictater

9:23am Okasa:

Ken is not a dictator. He was duly elected with 98% of the vote.

9:25am Nick S.:

Hello, Ken. It's Larry.

9:25am PKNY:

VVVVVOOOOOOIIIIIIIIVVVVVOOOOOODDDDDD!!!!!!!!

9:26am orpheusviking:

On behalf of Cherri Pi:

VOIVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!

9:27am sphere:

and hullo

♥ 9:30am Ken From Hyde Park:

Voivod! !! !!!

9:30am sphere:

all floor waxes must double as dessert toppings

9:31am northguineahills:

Society of the Silver Cross, I dig!

9:33am F۩f۩ (:

I am afraid we need to agree to agree, northguineahills. Great song!

9:34am F۩f۩ (:

PRINCE RAMAAAAAAAAA!!!

My favourite hippie new-age mumbo jumbo girls.

9:34am Nick S.:

I miss Prince Rama. The drummer sister had to detox. Such a shame. I saw them twice!

♥ 9:36am Guido from Cologne:

Doldinger!

9:37am Snoochienucci:

nice GIF action today!

♥ 9:37am DroneTree:

NNF I'm pretty sure

9:37am Snoochienucci:

and good Hazmat Report too Ken. really kept me informed

♥ 9:37am Guido from Cologne:

new bed-loop?

9:38am zopa:

Carpak records?

♥ 9:39am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

if Jeeves doesn't know, no one knows

9:40am Brendan:

Baby, its the sitar man.

9:40am zopa:

Paw Tracks. Definitely Paw Tracks.

♥ 9:40am AnAnonymousParty:

Speaking o Doldinger, I was always a fan of Passport.

♥ 9:41am melinda:

I thought Hotel Ayahuasca had "Ken" written all over it

9:42am F۩f۩ (:

Where do I sign up for this cult?

9:42am fleep:

(surfacing) Hump Day howdy, radio fans

9:46am zopa:

@Ken Prince Rama label is Paw Tracks.

9:46am F۩f۩ (:

After listening to the Madhouse song who wouldn't drink their kool-aid ?

9:46am Snoochienucci:

howdy fleep. Glad to see you coming up for some air

9:47am Brendan:

The video (https://youtu.be/JOSqbS2Q6Gw) for Madhouse is odd . They have what appear to be cult members faking it on instruments . On the harmonica solo they show a hippie playing flute.

9:50am sphere:

A Beat Happening sound-alike! Will wonders ever cease.

♥ 9:50am melinda:

@sphere haha

9:51am Betsy O:

The first rule of cult club is,... there is no cult. Prince Rama’s growing up club had good food at least,... they are available most weekends at Washington Square Park,... but don’t go there,... smoke cigarettes, eat mushrooms and onions, gamble and have a lot of sex instead.

♥ 9:53am -Ken:

Thanks Zopa!

9:53am Roberto:

Speaking of cult music, my daughter absolutely loves Left Hand of Darkness's "I Wanna Get Stoned" (not the tooth extraction daughter but the other one).

9:55am Westminster Manor:

so, was that Matt Johnson?

9:56am zopa:

@Ken: de nada. got a meeting. will have to catch up on the archive. fly that freak flag!

10:00am sphere:

Roberto, thanks. turns out that there are at least two hardcore bands who are linked to Ursula K. Le Guin. Weird.

♥ 10:03am kentuckywoman:

@sphere and @dave in vermont this seems relevant: electricliterature.com...

10:03am Roberto:

What's the point
For being in this joint?

10:05am sphere:

@kentuckywoman - thanks! very very interesting.

10:05am F۩f۩ (:

Can't wait for Ken to explain what the heck is the "Strain Crack & Break: Music from the Nurse With Wound List Volume 1" album. I just read an online review and I they lost me at the first sentence "The Nurse With Wound List is probably the most notorious record collecting document there is".

10:06am Aaron Working In Newark:

Great show today Ken!!!

10:06am βrian:

Did you play this for your son, too, Ken? I remember your story about Baby Animal.

♥ 10:09am AnAnonymousParty:

Ken, re the TXT lingo decoder, can you play "We're having a sex Bar-B-Que"?

10:09am βrian:

Is s/he talking to the landlord?

♥ 10:09am Webhamster Henry:

Welcome, Goat scream.

10:10am βrian:

(We all scream for Goat Scream.)

♥ 10:10am AnAnonymousParty:

I gotta get a harp.

10:10am F۩f۩ (:

Wait a minute! Is the Michele psycho sexual poem part of the Dr Norman's album? i always wondered where did it come from!

10:10am Brendan:

Look everybody ! The goat is suppressing the sex leopard!

10:11am βrian:

All these thoughts of sex have given her harpies.

10:12am P-90:

I was almost totally converted until the “understand the power of love without sex “ part.

10:12am Colin and not Danie anymore in Durham, England:

Sheena stream rules!

10:13am βrian:

Was "freyeur" an intended typo by the artist?

♥ 10:14am Rich in Washington:

Horrific Child was Jean-Pierre Massiera.

10:17am herb.nyc:

Ken's show is so good to have on while doing laundry. I pack my clothes and detergent and quarters and head out to laundromat. I return, and Ken is still on the stereo. Oh Ken, i need you more than want...

10:19am F۩f۩ (:

Yes. Ken's show is better experienced when doing the laundry. I can attest that.

10:20am mstern:

I remember many years ago you broadcast part of the Charlie manson parole hearing. That was truly nutty. He boasted that he could take apart a motorcycle and reassemble it faster than any living American president. Impressive.

10:21am Nick S.:

Typewriter shit!

♥ 10:21am Matt Fiveash:

Ken- Does this mean I could do the legal id every week at 8:14 and 8:16 and still be in compliance with the rules?

10:21am Betsy O:

The only cult I have energy to belong too anymore is the Ken Kult of Vibrational Goat Screams and other Aural Hallucinations disguised as Music. I submit my most humble obeisances to the Master!

10:23am F۩f۩ (:

BLAAAAACK SAAAAABAAAAAAAA....

What?!

♥ 10:23am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

dang, i did my laundry to The Pidge, missed an opportunity

10:23am Brendan:

Ken’s show also gets rid of those tough stains without presoaking.

♥ 10:24am JtotheK:

Good Morning Ken. Hi everyone. Will Neil Diamond 'Porcupine Pie' be added to your rotation, Ken - it had quite a response on 7SD last week.

10:25am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Well, o.k.,Ken, if you must—just don't use-up all your scepticism on the best-known hypothesis, save some for the alternate ones presented you. Look for places where juxtaposition were treated as causation, association as proof of conspiracy, and the like.

As always, Lorne Greene's "Propaganda" game is a great guide to pseudo-arguments, e.g. appeals to authority, ad hominem, excluded middle,….

10:25am F۩f۩ (:

mstern,

How did i miss that? What year was that? I don't think it's in Ken's archives.

♥ 10:25am AnAnonymousParty:

@mstern, meh/ How many parts are in a motorcycle anyway and President's don't know shit about bikes, so...

10:26am Sam:

This song is so badass, I feel unworthy

♥ 10:27am steveo:

i heard a mashup and i liked it!

10:28am F۩f۩ (:

Good tip, Murakami. Never heard of "Propaganda".

♥ 10:28am -Ken:

@mstern - Yeah, I aired two different Manson Parole hearings in their entirety. Amazing weird stuff.

10:29am Dave:

Any Mr Bungle planned for today to honor their reunion announcement?

10:30am laughingacademy:

...Was this originally a Kraftwerk song?

10:32am F۩f۩ (:

It's Right Said Fred! An according to Ken (if I recall correctly from last week 7sd show), one of the worst lyrics in the history of song writing!

10:33am Snoochienucci:

@laughingacademy i was trying to think of where i knew this from. I think you may be right??

10:35am tmbrett:

Hey Mista Keelman from Hamburg, are your there? i want to marry you! check this song. and these spooky stepsounds jeah <3

10:36am F۩f۩ (:

Yesus, Snoochienucci! It's I'm Too Sexy. How come I'm the only one who knows this? Now I feel embarrased.

10:36am Skullfarmer:

The Model by Snakefinger and the Residents
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nYmQTngfjdA

10:37am Okasa:

My vote for worst lyrics would be "Having My Baby". Impossible to listen to.

♥ 10:37am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

Sometimes When We Touch gets my vote

10:38am Mark S:

Venture is the label "Comme des Garçons Volume one"

♥ 10:38am Devin B.:

Yay!

10:39am (Murakami Whywolf))):

The current President is a cult leader: note how strongly his failures and proof of his lies increase the faith his adherents have in him.

10:39am northguineahills:

Bob Ashley!

10:39am βrian:

An Ann Arbor native, yo.

10:41am F۩f۩ (:

That remind me of the Cult of Personality song by Living Colour, Mr Murakami.

♥ 10:44am Stanley:

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

10:46am Mark S:

Don't even have to look it up, label for Damned,DAmned,Damned is Stiff records

10:48am Roberto:

HAR-MAH-NEE-KAH!

10:48am sphere:

I just found a hardcore band named Ekumen and their self-titled album cover is a weird black & white depiction of Ursula K. Le Guin.

10:48am benji:

Great song!!

♥ 10:48am tim from champaign:

Of all the thousands of records I've pwned in my life, I've never owned a Damned record even though I love that band.

♥ 10:49am AnAnonymousParty:

Is this Simon or Theodore? Can we here this at full speed?

♥ 10:49am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

AAAALLLLVVVIIIINNNNN!!!!!

10:50am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I consider "I've Never Been to Me" to have the worst lyrics ever to hit a Marantz all-in-one stereo. A balding, be–coke-spooned notion of what fulfills women that rhymes 'Georgia' with 'California'.

Note that I'm not mindlessly bigoted against the pop hits of my youth: "Alone Again[ Naturally]", cheesy though it is, is kind of perfect.

Jonathan Coulton's version

♥ 10:51am AnAnonymousParty:

Alvin, of course, always a trouble maker.

10:51am (((Murakami Whywolf):

David Cross, please.

10:51am F۩f۩ (:

It's not like The Chipmunks Sing Metal Hits. NO. It's The Chipmunks Sing Suicidal Tendencies. They don't pussyfoot around.

10:51am Brendan:

Truthers know that Bob Ross was killed by a chipmunk on acorns

♥ 10:52am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

Have The Chipmunks ever covered "I've Been to Paradise?" I'd like to hear that!!!

♥ 10:53am AnAnonymousParty:

Alvin was eaten by a jack Russell terrier named 'Trooper'. That'll teach him.

10:53am The Butterman:

Now, this show is getting somewhere.

10:54am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Specious rumour: Jeffrey Epstein was hunted unto death by a bunch of Red State people on acorns.

♥ 10:56am AnAnonymousParty:

I'm glad the GIF has the DISCO super. Otherwise it would just be confusing.

10:56am Buddha of Suburbia:

Wow!! This music is everything. Reminds me of my uncle dancing in a Paris disco club. Now he's just an old man.

10:57am Buddha of Suburbia:

Shalom, Granny Spicy Tuna!!! Your jet lag from Israel will work in your favor. Good to see you today. I'm going to head out to work now. Bye bye!!!!!!!!!

♥ 10:58am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

bubbyyyeeee Boods! See you sooon!!!

♥ 10:58am AnAnonymousParty:

Three stars in a row, that's a DJ hat trick!

10:58am Buddha of Suburbia:

The Butterman, I read your phone story about running up to a man wearing a Steve Pelllegrino name tag. That was hilarious. Spoke to Pellegrino afterwards. He loved that story.

10:59am Buddha of Suburbia:

Butterman, I don't know why I called it your "Phone Story". Must be this music?

11:00am F۩f۩ (:

I have a phoney story too.

♥ 11:00am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

so far the only WFMU listener encounter i've has was with someone i've known for decades who lurks on the boards and said they figured out it was me by something i said

11:01am Buddha of Suburbia:

Granny Spicy Tuna, what a wonderful exchange on Wake this morning! Dale was hilarious!

♥ 11:02am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

i love this alternate reality we co-create

11:02am Buddha of Suburbia:

Katy Perry, Ken!

11:02am Buddha of Suburbia:

That's a perfect name for it, Granny Spicy!

11:04am Aaron Working In Newark:

Hiya Buddha and Spicy Tuna!!!

♥ 11:05am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

hey Aaron Working In Newark, how's your productivity levels?

11:09am F۩f۩ (:

I'm afraid you are raising the bar too high by playing too many new good songs today, Ken. Think about the songs with no melodies as well.

♥ 11:11am AnAnonymousParty:

Infinite Pratfall!

11:12am βrian:

Sounds like Cousin It's second career.

♥ 11:15am tim from champaign:

Ken - No New York came out originally on Antilles

♥ 11:17am -Ken:

Thank you Tim!

♥ 11:18am tim from champaign:

Excellent show today, by the way!

♥ 11:18am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

ditto that

11:23am Losermom:

Thanks for the sound fidelity, Ken! I'm back!

11:23am The Butterman:

Hey Boods! Thanks for your feedback. Not the first time I’ve confused people. I have a way of confusing people. They often don’t know if I’m serious or joking.

11:24am F۩f۩ (:

I'm a bit busy today, Ken, otherwise I'd help you with the labels.

But I'm pretty good at guessing labels just by listening few seconds of a song. That one from Munya is Katapult records.

11:27am F۩f۩ (:

This one from My Bloody Valentine is....is...Wait...I can feel it..It's from Team Jazz records.

♥ 11:29am -Ken:

That's quite a little superpower you got right there, f0f0

11:33am Marie:

Groovy show, Ken, thanks! Is Andy currently traipsing about some other part of the world with his family?

11:34am F۩f۩ (:

Thanks, Ken. If you know how can I monetize it let me know.

♥ 11:35am Rich in Washington:

This track is in sync with the majority of your gifs.

♥ 11:35am AnAnonymousParty:

The future sure looks bright.

♥ 11:36am AnAnonymousParty:

Autotune means you never have to say you're sorry.

11:36am andy the painter:

just tuning in now...was wondering if it was you/Ken or a fill-in...but then the jonathan kane came in.....

11:36am sphere:

@ AnAnonymousParty: I believe that is the oncoming train.

♥ 11:38am tim from champaign:

Are you going to use autotune, Ken?

11:38am F۩f۩ (:

andy the painter,

You are almost right. This is a Ken filling-in for Ken show.

♥ 11:39am Webhamster Henry:

in re: 7SD, some people are nonbinary, - just sayin'.

♥ 11:43am Cmurtha:

Howdy everyone

11:47am The Butterman:

This gif just confuses me.

♥ 11:48am blee:

Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

♥ 11:49am tadpoles:

A little minutiae for ya.....Bowie was on a great BBC radio show in '79 called "Star Special" where stars played DJ for a hour or so and one of his fab picks was "Helen Forsdale" by DNA from No New York:

www.bbc.co.uk...

I heard it at the time and you have to fill the head with stuff like this. Especially whilst watch the GIF for Yohuna!

Love the show thanks Ken.

11:50am The Butterman:

Ohhhhhhhhh. Tim and Erik. That helps explain. I figured it was an Eastern European tv variety show or contest. Thanks.

♥ 11:50am -Ken:

Thanks Tadpoles, I have a GIF of Bowskie DJing but had no idea what he played

♥ 11:51am tim from champaign:

I'm stoked that I live nearby Olympia because that means that chances are I should be able to see Old Time Relijum/Arrington sometime.

11:53am sphere:

@tim from champaign: i am envious! the closest i get is to the Arrington painting at Comet Ping Pong.

11:53am Marie:

The sandwich and hot dog gifs are "off the charts"---karray-zeeee!!!!

♥ 11:54am tim from champaign:

@sphere - No sightings yet but I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

11:55am F۩f۩ (:

I'm sorry to say but I'm a meat eater. I did not climb to the top of the food chain to eat salad. Baby Animals are scrumptious!

♥ 11:56am AnAnonymousParty:

Is this another slowed down chipmunks song?

11:56am Marie:

Those guys are REAL foodies

11:57am βrian:

Oh, I'm back just in time for the baby!

11:57am F۩f۩ (:

thanks, Ken, people! Happy to hear and read you. Till next episode and, remember, BE HAPPY!!!.

♥ 11:58am Webhamster Henry:

A somewhat larger sounding animal today.

♥ 11:59am kentuckywoman:

.... I need an adult.

12:00pm yippie:

i had to call hatzola on someone . . . institutionalized!

12:01pm sphere:

bye all - @kentuckywoman search for Ekumen on Bandcamp.

12:01pm Marie:

Is this Ken speaking, disquising his voice?

12:02pm Marie:

why did I even need to ask?
