I hope you liked last week's show. Today i'll spend half the show explaining why my Free Charles Mason tattoo has nothing to do with celebrating his cause.. This is the real REAL Ken. Accept no imitations.

Hi Ken! Have you experienced the of perestroika vibes of Альянс yet?
Awesome comrade! I quite recommend starting with the Альянс tune from 87, На заре. Also highly recommend searching it on YouTube. There's an amazing live performance from a soviet-style cable access-eqsue Top of the Pops.

товарищ Dieter. Thanks for the tip. By the way, this here is the really real REAL Ken. And I can prove you I'm the real REAL Ken because I just pinched myself and it hurts! Meaning I'm REAL!
Eddy says he does NOT have a Dewalt Sawzall, he has four Rigid Sawzalls, one of which is cordless BABY!

It occurs to me that I might have heard that Gong track for the first time on this very show in 2004 when I first discovered FMU. What good has the last 15 years of listening done me? Lots/nothing! Thanks Ken!
Back in my record store days, we had a regular customer who would always ask the same three questions of every CD: "Do you think I'd like this?" "Does it jam?" "Does it got a lot of guitars on it?" The day we played him Gong it was like we'd finally solved the riddle. "Listen to that GUITAR!!!"

@Ken, power tool request Sierra Altoids -KrossKut Saw
I was a woodworker/cabinetmaker for ten years in my former life. I know this because I can count the years on my still intact fingers. It seemed that different manufacturers excel at different power tools.
For example Makita did great drills. Bosch did good jig saws, Porter Cable belt sanders (and routers).
@FܬFܬ Oh, you have no idea. Even more if you count the years I worked the music section at a chain bookstore, where you get record store people who are too crazy to seek out a record store.
Haricuts Now has a video?!! Why no one told me..WHY!!!??

I got tired of God constantly busting my chops. So I managed to get transferred to a different Universe where there is no God. But when I got there, all the people still believed in God anyway.
Man, those anecdotes must be extreme (from the music section of a chain bookstore). But, yeah, working on a record shop is on a whole other level. Still I don't know what level was that though.

While other manufactures have similar "reciprocating" saws, Sawzall is the trademarked brand name of Milwaukee. The name is at risk of becoming generic like Kleenex. Long ago, Milwaukee began branding their electric drills "Hole Shooters" but that name has not become common parlance for electric drills.

Some divine force just took down the Instituto Mexicano del Sonido track and no one is lamenting.
Ok,
One last sawzall and I swear I'm done.
In south jersey to extract an underground storage tank one summer.
It was a 1,000 gal. UST by the way and...
the damn thing was made out of diamond plate.
DIAMOND PLATE I SAID.
So anyway, used a Milwaukee reciprocating saw and about 8 blades to open that sucker up.
and that's why I say, "When it comes to sawz, it's Milwaukee or nutt'n"

@Phillippe Bastille- Black and Decker own the Dewalt Brand...a storied manufacturer that made industrial Radial Arm Saws, more often seen at lumber yards than in a home shop, but they did make smaller models for the small contractor. The company was purchased by Black and Decker and the brand name was applied to a line of small electric hand tools - drills, grinders and sanders. And Black and Decker also purchased the Dustbuster hand vacuum cleaner line and General Electric Toaster Ovens

@jan ...and Stanley, as well as Delta and Porter-Cable for a while. I had a tiny bit of Pentair stock when they were in the power tools business and hated to see them sell it off to B&D
Starchild! I saw P-Funk about 10 years ago. I remember thinking while watching Starchild play guitar "It's so rad there's someone my dad's age up there wearing a diaper. Actually, there's probably a lot of people my dad's age who wear diapers."

@Phillippe Bastille- I had to look that factoid up- being unaware of the Pentair name, but familiar with the tool brands under its umbrella. It's interesting, particularly as Black and Decker was considered to be a quality tool manufacturer, that the company would be more recognized as a parent company than as a manufacturer of their own tool line. The whole tool industry has changed as more non professionals do various trade works in their homes. The price of electric tools is priced about same in dollar amounts as they were in the 1970s.
This is the best Rod McKuen ummm song I've heard today.

People,
This title of the IC3PEAK's song means "Death No More" . I speak with authority because I finished the duolingo Russian course. (well, I finished the Chick Hatching out of the Egg level).
11:20am
McGroovey:
Oh, man, these are horrible Russian lyrics. The equivalent of Let the eagle fly; wind under my wings, etc.
OK, just read the comments. As long as we're comparing, I have a Milwaukee Sawzall. I also have a Ryobi grinder which I just used to cut off a gate lock that lost it's key.
He he, Master locks are invincible. For about 8 seconds.
It starts with staple guns. Then it's nail guns. Where will it all end? Won't anyone think of the CHILDREN?
11:31am
Sam:
My advice is, when you have the urge to staple, count to ten and then use a paper clip instead. You can always undo a paper clip. A staple can't be undone without leaving permanent damage to the paper.
Thanks, Ken, people! Great show as usual. Loved the music, the staples, the comments, the cyrilic alphabet...Till next episode and remember: loosen up and BE HAPPY!!
