7:43am -K٤n:

Hello, friends!

Don't worry, Mchele! The really real Ken is here, typing with his fingers and, under the hypnotic tutelage of the prog rock gods, I shall play Magma's Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh on its entirety!

🚽

7:56am -Ken:

i am powerless to resist The Really Real Ken

8:06am AnAnonymousParty:

That really real Ken is a really, really good, good guy.

🚽

8:12am -Ken:

Darn it, did I say "powerless to?" I meant to say "eager to."

8:29am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Eager to resist?

🚽

8:38am -Ken:

Eager to resist indeed. Magma that is.

8:52am (((Murakami Whywolf):

So when will FMU let us know with which other websites it shares its data? Klamm.gov? elakelaiset.edu?

9:00am Aaron Working In Newark:

Good morning SMK

🚽

9:01am Handy Haversack:

Morning, -Kenders.

9:01am TDK60:

Does the Sibelius estate know about this?

9:01am Tom in St. Paul:

that intro was a quote of Sibelius' 5th symphony! neat!

9:04am mouskowitz:

guten tag friendos

today's word of the day is "weltschmerz" -- a feeling of deep sadness about the inadequacy or imperfection of the world.

9:04am Lixiviated Life:

Hullo Kinny

9:04am ևoևo (:

Hola, Mr Ken and fellow commenters!

9:06am Marley Dogg:

Güten morgen

9:07am sphere:

9:08am Cabbage:

🚽

9:09am AnAnonymousParty:

This record is awesome.

9:12am happymaan:

Hey Station Manager Ken, expect a big box of spicy popcorn today or tomorrow.

9:13am Marley Dogg:

What’s good today everyone?

9:14am melinda:

Morning Ken and group! I like the desert hula hoop.

9:14am Martinibomb:

Good morning Station Manager Ken and fellow listeners.

9:15am happymaan:

That girl is still going!

9:15am Sebastian:

9:15am clapper:

🚽

9:15am -Ken:

Thank you Happyman! Popcorn is ALWAYS welcome!!

9:16am ևoևo (:

SEBASTIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

9:17am happymaan:

You're welcome. Really digging this current song by the way, but my dog is asking to go out, i'm kinda in a tight spot

9:18am (((Murakami Whywolf):

mouskowitz:
It's interesting that we can think this world good or bad…I mean, compared to what? Well, I'd reckon, to the world as we think it _could_ be—does any other animal do that?

Hmmm…well, I know at least one cat that knows we _could_ feed it twice as much and can't understand we we hold back…. Desire creates another world against which to judge this one.

9:18am happymaan:

imgur.com... - the dog in question

9:19am thormagma:

schizophrenia...

9:19am LandOfJƏrƏmy:

When this track started, sounded just like sonic youth schizophrenia.

9:19am YETI BOB:

starecat.com...

9:20am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

good morning STAYSH!!! and fellow listeners, did some one mention "schizophrenia"

🚽

9:20am -Ken:

What song is it that this Shana Falana reminds me of and it's NOT Bull In The Heather - it has a chorus of "everything is gonna be allright.. allright"

9:21am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

hey! good song i like it.is it on itunes,

9:22am Don Pickles:

Kim

9:22am Mark S:

well I was about to say Bull in the Heather

9:22am ևoևo (:

Ken,

I believe that song is track #2 from Tales from Topographic Oceans by Yes. Play it and you'll see.

🚽

9:23am Baja Joe:

Yeah Ken, Falana sounding very Sonic Youth like there. I like it.

9:23am YETI BOB:

Ken: "Everything's gonna be alright" by Naughty by Nature?

9:24am sphere:

how many songs tell you that "everything's gonna be alright"? the mind boggles.

9:24am Sebastian:

sounded like a Sonic Youth song to me

9:25am morphe':

HappyMan - all I ever get is a "BOX of PAIN" even Sat and Sun sans Claymeister...
Must go out.. Thanks Ken.....

9:25am Roberto:

Sonic Youth sounding very Shana Falana.

9:25am Manana:

Damn, was supposed to be at work. Killer set.

9:26am LandOfJƏrƏmy:

nice! love me some sonic youth!!

9:26am YETI BOB:

Ken: According to Discogs, the Nomads record was released by Closer Records in France, and Amigo Records in Sweden, in 1983

9:26am Sebastian:

oh, whoopsie, sorry...

🚽

9:26am Baja Joe:

I can't hula hoop, can't do rubik's cube (very timely) and I would never fit in that yellow dress or those cool blue (suede?) clogs. I can, however, survive in the desert.

9:26am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

i like the old song by Rain Parade - Depending On You. crazy its available in england but not here as an mp3. that sucks!!!

9:27am FletcherNYC:

why did I think you played a cover of
Bull in the Heather already??

9:27am FletcherNYC:

oh.. I'm not the only one

9:28am ևoևo (:

Oh, Yeti Bob! You were very close.

The Nomads
Showdown
Label: Bang! Records ‎

9:28am YETI BOB:

Oops. That info was for the original Nomads album, but you played it from a best-of comp that was released by Bang Records

9:29am Roberto:

Bull in the Heather blew my mind out my butt the first time I saw it on the em-tee-vees.

9:29am Megaroni:

All hail Sir Ken, our circus leader

9:29am sphere:

record geek showdown! someone should do a reality TV show with that name.

9:31am sphere:

@ SM Ken: could you be thinking of Built to Spill's "You Were Right"?

9:31am Brendan:

Shańa ? Interesting ...

9:32am Roberto:

Andy would never prank or mislead.

9:32am happymaan:

Let Clay know that included enough bags for him as well. I had him in mind!

🚽

9:32am Webhamster Henry:

The correct pronunciation is "Throat-warbler Mangrove".

Shana's doing a little show here (Kingston) at Tubby's, March 5&6 before going to SxSW.

9:32am FletcherNYC:

Shana definitely starts like Schizophrenia

9:32am morphe':

Ken... melody or no.. great set.... for awhile sounds good... I'll be out in the second hour so.... no skin ... as they say...

9:33am happymaan:

And I was a dumbass and I didn't realize that SMK is the same Ken on 7 second delay, so I called him out twice in my letter. My apologizes.

9:34am FletcherNYC:

btw I love that you keep Danielle Dax in our hearts and minds

9:34am jahmon:

was always pisssed that they didn't use this in the movie

9:34am Hugo (NL):

ken, the sonic youth song is schizophrenia. beginning is exactly like the Shana falana song

9:35am Okasa:

Sorry, I'm just trying to catch up. What about Raymond Luxury Yacht?

9:36am Strandlund:

The Great Staysh!!

🚽

9:37am Rich in Washington:

Hi Ken!
Hi everybody!

9:37am steveo:

this band is so joyful

9:37am YETI BOB:

awesome

9:37am ևoևo (:

happymaan,

I believe the Seven Second Delay Ken is NOT the same Ken here. I'm also often confused. They both have almost identical voices and similar names but one is Ken Freedman and the other is Ken Friedman.

9:40am doctorjazz:

Richard and Linda, you'll get me to post playing them any time! : )

9:40am ևoևo (:

Shh..Don't tell me. This is Hannibal records if I'm not mistaken. I can tell a record label just by listening a bit of any song.

9:41am doctorjazz:

It is Hannibal, if I remember correctly...what a skill!

9:41am Snoochienucci:

little late to the part today, i know everyone probably missed me, please forgive me everyone!

9:41am ևoևo (:

Yes! I'm right. It is Hannibal records. See?

🚽

9:41am Rich in Washington:

I used to get all the Kens on WFMU mixed up until I got my handy dandy pocket-sized Field Guide to WFMU Kens. Profusely illustrated.

🚽

9:41am Handy Haversack:

Yeah, the Thompsons are killing it. Thanks for this.

9:42am YETI BOB:

@ևoևo : Ok, wizard: what label is this?

9:43am nellies:

I love Olga and her horse sounds

🚽

9:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

Here we go!

9:43am Yvang:

Olga will save us all

9:44am Yvang:

from the Corona beer virus

9:44am ևoևo (:

You are really asking about Olga Podlushzhanya's record label? I don't even need to listening to any of her songs. Everyone knows is from Plexus Net label.

🚽

9:45am Webhamster Henry:

Sing Olga, Sing! Except she calls herself Olena now.

9:45am Brendan:

She should do a duet with a didgeridoo

9:46am YETI BOB:

@ևoևo: OK, you win this round!

9:47am Snoochienucci:

ugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

9:49am Brendan:

Goat alarm please

9:49am YETI BOB:

I met a stranger in a bar over the weekend - he was a bit drunk - and somehow we got onto the topic of "Corky's Debt to His Father", the 1970 solo album by The Red Krayola's Mayo Thompson

🚽

9:50am David (in London):

I'm back in the house. And hoping for more high quality spork talk this week.

🚽

9:50am David (in London):

Hey Snoochie.

9:50am YETI BOB:

Mayo Thompson is playing a couple of 50th Anniversary shows for that album. And I just got tickets. Crazy!

9:51am joni:

Check out Olena Uutai's long piece with horses, wolves, birds, and other critters!

🚽

9:51am Handy Haversack:

What's the matter, @Snoochie? Alien seal monster from hell got you down?

9:52am Roberto:

That should be "or dubstep," not "nor."

9:52am Okasa:

Ken's gif to tune pairing is on fire this am.

9:53am YETI BOB:

"Playeth thou not of the hip-hop, nor of the trap, nor of the dubstep"

9:53am ևoևo (:

The record label for Soho's Hippy Chick is:

Crippled Dick Very VERY Hot Wax (formerly known as Crippled Dick Hot Wax )

🚽

9:54am David (in London):

@YETI - Wow, Mayo's playing live? Where are you seeing him?

9:54am steveo:

trivia question: which came out first -- Bull in the Heather or Hippychick?

9:55am YETI BOB:

David: I'll be at the Chicago show. I think the NYC one happened already.

9:55am YETI BOB:

the Hippy Chick track is either "S&M" records or "ATCO", take your pick. (I know which I'd chose)

9:56am YETI BOB:

T.a.t.u. is Universal/Interscope

9:56am sphere:

@ steveo - i'd guess Hippychick.

9:57am YETI BOB:

and apparently I have nothing better to do than be Ken's Discogs clerk

9:57am ևoևo (:

Atco is the name of the label for Hippiechick

🚽

9:58am David (in London):

@YETI BOB, that'll be a blast for sure.

9:58am weiterso:

is this not one of ehe greatest songs, Ken ever played?

9:58am steveo:

@shpere yes 1994 vs 1990

9:58am YETI BOB:

@ևoևo: unless it's S&M

9:58am WmKMoss:

Wow, how did I miss that Smith's cover? Glad I heard it here.

9:59am ևoևo (:

You cannot label t.A.T.u, Ken. That's not cool, man. Don't label such talented, young women. Down with the patriarchy and all that.

9:59am Snoochienucci:

Hey David in London @Handy something like that lol

10:01am steveo:

Ken could you please play a song that is exactly on beat with the hippychick gif

10:03am Phillippe Bastille:

Howdy

10:04am Fletchernyc:

Flogging dead horse dept:
Shana Falana
First part is schizophrenia
Second part bridge form Bull in The Heather
I hope she’s sharing songwriting with SY

10:06am steveo:

i was so sad when morrissey died

10:06am Roberto:

It's safe to say we can trace our current political predicament all the way back to Tatu's failed presidential campaign.

10:06am βrian:

Durn. I missed the first bus and I missed Olga.

10:08am hey buddy:

I thought clay was saying “tuk-uh-the-town” like “talk of the town”

10:09am weiterso:

hi cd-player, please play 'a certain kind' the Weyes Blood-version

10:09am steveo:

what? Oh, well he's dead to me

10:09am ևoևo (:

Ken,

The upcoming Magma's song is from the French Seventh Records label.

Rest of the people and Michele,

I just told Ken to play Magma using an effective psychology trick! I tricked him good! HAHAHAHA!!!

10:10am βrian:

Double-jointed people are fine. People in front of me at the cafe, ordering coffee drinks with more than one ingredient? They're not ok.

10:11am dictater:

I'll post again, Does anyone know if the Foo Fighters have ever genuinely been played on WFMU. Ken?

10:11am happymaan:

Ok Ken, this sounds fascinating.

10:12am steveo:

@dictater wfmu.org...

10:12am ևoևo (:

I love this negative harmony vibe. It's from Silent Records, right?

10:13am Phillippe Bastille:

That negative harmony thing wasn't as good as I expected

🚽

10:13am Webhamster Henry:

I had some demo effect software that could change keys and modes on recorded music polyphonically. Not great quality, but I'm sure there's something better now. Nothing I could ever afford.

10:14am PersistanceOfVision:

oops!

10:14am crateslinger:

I just got here and don't feel like reading the whole thing but in case nobody mentioned it, the drummer for Corrosion of Conformity died? 53 Years old.

10:14am Lixiviated Life:

It's over Kinny
IT'S OVER!

10:14am Henry:

cool

10:14am Undead83:

Gosh, sounds like an alternate reality

10:14am steveo:

what is this witchcraft

10:15am Roberto:

If Nirvana had broken in the early '80s instead of the early '90s.

10:15am βrian:

Can we hear Tom Waits in 40-part polyphony now?

10:15am (((Murakami Whywolf):

This sounds like the Pillows, who did the music for the animé "FLCL".

🚽

10:15am admiral crisp:

sounds like fountains of wayne

10:15am WmKMoss:

Fake Nirvanna

10:15am crateslinger:

dictater

🚽

10:15am Handy Haversack:

I missed the methodology. How did they? Negative harmony? Is a thing?

10:15am Doug:

Which Fountains of Wayne album is this?

10:15am Fletchernyc:

It’s making me a little nauseous

10:16am Marley Dogg:

Hello Uncle Leo

10:16am Roberto:

Yeah actually I'm hearing Fountains too. So let's say early '00s.

10:16am Fletchernyc:

I like the solo though

10:16am ևoևo (:

.egnarts sdnuos sihT

🚽

10:16am Webhamster Henry:

Basically you take the intervals in a tune and flip them, so a minor third down becomes a minor third up, etc.

10:16am Sean from Iowa:

It sound like that Better than Ezra song

10:16am Pietro:

Hey, if you take all the minor chords, sevenths, flat-fives and ponderous off-key singing from this song, it's not bad.

10:17am The Oscar:

I don't know if anyone's ever posited Weezer as the anti-Nirvana, but this makes a pretty irrefutable case.

10:17am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Are those two people in the animated image smoking reefer double-jointed?

10:17am Chi Bill:

Wholly Carp!!! this is negative harmony on teen spirit?!?! I LOVE it!!! Feels like acid tripping!

10:18am Mark S:

"Stacy;s mom, Stacy's mom, yeah"

10:18am dictater:

@steveo - long list, but I wonder if any of them were genuine plays - Irwin, Ken, both played them?

10:19am YETI BOB:

so negative-harmony Nirvana winds up sounding like the Foo Fighters

🚽

10:19am David (in London):

Suddenly it becomes The Young Gods!

10:19am ևoևo (:

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr Ken!

🚽

10:20am Handy Haversack:

Thanks, @Henry.

10:20am Lixiviated Life:

WHAAAAAAA HOOOO
THIS IS WHY I GIVE $$$ TO WFMU.
(more of this please)

10:20am Fletchernyc:

Pancakes

🚽

10:21am Webhamster Henry:

Now you need to segue to the swing version of "Every Breath Your Take".

10:21am Chud:

Smells Like Warm Leatherette!

10:21am steveo:

if feel like irwin wouldn't lie on the playlist but maybe i'm just naive

10:21am βrian:

How often is new music really intended to be derivative? This will give the reviewers fits.

10:21am (((Murakami Whywolf):

The opening bars of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" always sounded to me like a "Louie, Louie" joke.

10:22am Lixiviated Life:

pissed that i can't play this any F**KING LOUDER

10:22am Fletchernyc:

Again, the solo!

10:22am Pietro:

This needs a b-flat soprano sax solo by Kenny G!

🚽

10:22am AnAnonymousParty:

So negative harmony makes everything sound like a Neil Young guitar solo?

10:22am ևoևo (:

Depends which Kenny G.

🚽

10:23am Webhamster Henry:

I tried to do this with "Heavy Metal (Take a ride") but the software broke.

10:24am thatpatsmith:

Um, no.

10:24am dictater:

@ steveo - Not saying anuone lied, but was it a sample or in someway played ironically, cant see Irwin doing that either but, Irwin played the FOO Fighters?

10:24am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Pietro:
How about B-flatting "Careless Whisper"?

🚽

10:25am David (in London):

@Webhamster Henry - To paraphrase Tony Visconti, "You can't **** with the fabric of Felder."

10:25am Chud:

Does putting D-grade indie pop output Nirvana?

10:25am The Oscar:

It turns it into Smells Like Teen Spirit!

🚽

10:26am Webhamster Henry:

@David/London: Oh how I've learned my lesson.

10:27am steveo:

idk, dictater, listen to the archive!

10:27am Marley Dogg:

Sounds like video game music from Castlevania

10:28am steveo:

this is not as recognizable as teen spirit. i guess the vocals help?

10:29am plasticzero:

The best thing I have heard on the radio in a long time!

10:30am plasticzero:

Like a music appreciation class that does not suck.

10:30am Brendan:

Agreed it sounds like smells like

10:32am Mark S:

a huge improvement

10:32am Davee:

How does it smell?

10:32am Henry:

born to explode

🚽

10:32am David (in London):

@Webhamster Henry - The Felderene particles that make up Heavy Metal are inherently unstable. You were lucky to survive.

10:32am Roberto:

I'm gonna troll my Springsteen-obsessed wife with this.

10:32am ևoևo (:

Can you play a slowed-down automated,shitty fluted version of the Crazy Horses at 33, in B Blat Negative Chipmunkfied Harmony?

🚽

10:33am AnAnonymousParty:

Best Cover Ever

10:33am YETI BOB:

ևoևo: That's so much better than the negative comment I was about to make.

10:34am Andrew Waterloo:

Sounds like the dog is chewing the real-to-real

🚽

10:34am CVB from SYR:

I'M HAVING SEIZURES!

🚽

10:34am Handy Haversack:

Maybe Mark Hurst was wrong -- this AI is doing an unadulterated good for the species.

10:35am PersistanceOfVision:

Please.... PLEASE.... turn this off.

10:35am Yvang:

That's Impeacheable Music

10:35am plasticzero:

@CVB but its the good kind of seizures

10:35am steveo:

i believe that happy valley band is my least favorite band of all time

10:35am YETI BOB:

The thing is ... oh nevermind

10:36am vertual:

It's my 6th grade beginning band class first attempt at sight reading music!

10:37am Yvang:

The only thing interesting in algorythm is their flaws

10:37am Ike:

Anytime you find a copy of "Heavy Metal", don't mess with it. Just nuke the entire site from orbit -- it's the only way to be sure.

🚽

10:37am AnAnonymousParty:

I'm glad we got that count off in the middle of the chaos to reset everything. So who was in the band? I recognized Frank Zappa, Ornette Coleman, Thelonious Monk and was that Y. Bhekhirst?

10:38am Fletchernyc:

Its good to be crazy people

10:38am LiXiviated Life:

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you
The Root Canal Quintet

10:40am ևoևo (:

Ken forgot to mention a missing link: The Reveries' instruments and amps are all connected via colonoscopes plugged into their butts. This is why they are called the Human Centipide band. Needless to say, they are banned to play live in most countries.

10:40am Davee:

Sounds like a Michael Shelley number 1 hit

10:42am vertual:

Do not attempt to lift weights during this program. I almost killed myself bench pressing and trying not to laugh. But laugh in a good way

🚽

10:42am AnAnonymousParty:

This reminds me of the orchestra in Time Bandits entertaining Napoleon.

🚽

10:44am David (in London):

Look at all the algorithms on the run in the Twenty Twenties...

10:45am Brendan:

For sheer laughs of songs being massacred , the shred videos rule. Here’s one of Segovia with a student: https://youtu.be/xaCUTx0CJqs

Rush https://youtu.be/hAuhhl_9o6U

Theres also that great Hall n Oats Maneater shred

10:46am steveo:

i wish they had screwed the lyrics also

10:46am steveo:

the vocals i mean

10:47am ևoևo (:

Talking about massacring singers or bands, I'd suggest to play that David Bowiesky doing impersonations track.

🚽

10:48am David (in London):

@steveo - Yes, the should have run them through a translation programme and back again to get the real AI take on Neil.

🚽

10:48am AnAnonymousParty:

The genesis of the Caspar Slide?

10:48am Davee:

I threw my back out

10:49am Dean:

Organum Perceptus isn't new to WFMU. I bought my copy in January 2018, after hearing tracks on the station. Does "new" mean new to this show?

🚽

10:49am PigeonsAndRust:

Ken, will you show us on the doll where the music hurt you? I think you're doing a great lead up to tonights 7SD!

10:49am JakeGould:

So what about Pabst Blue Ribbon virus?

🚽

10:50am Handy Haversack:

@JakeGould, it's the only virus I can afford these days.

10:51am ևoևo (:

What? Another Abner Jay's Depressed version happyfied too ?

10:52am JakeGould:

I thought Cobra virus would be cheaper. 99 cents a can, right?

10:54am morphe':

Simon recognized Neil and asked "is he alive???" He thinks all good musicians are dead???? Speaking of horns, our downsatirs neighbor, I just noticed - HAS 2 forehead horns.. and also some neck things happening.. Not goofing on her.. she is super kind and her doggy "Happy" loves us to the point of criminality..
Ken, Simon wants photos of the surgery... He is more gorey graphic than me....
though I too am curious... Had a dream after last week that a bad tooth came out(the whole tooth down to the pointy end***) and I saw my NYC dDDS in the street and I was saying: "Look!!! LOOK!!! DR. PAUL.. MY TOOOTH!!!"
***teeth are actually weirdly, pointy down long into the jaw...an inch or more???

10:54am JakeGould:

Bougie people are getting 4 pack of craft beer virus.

10:55am Henry:

ach du scheisse!

10:55am YETI BOB:

OUCH

🚽

10:56am Handy Haversack:

Sadly it's been eradicated in my locality.

10:56am ևoևo (:

Yes. We are back to sweet normal music.

10:56am Roberto:

OH HELLS YAS

10:56am happymaan:

Still danceable

10:56am Brendan:

Earth Wind and Feces

🚽

10:57am David (in London):

I went to grab a cup of tea and have returned to shitty flute. The mystery of life.

🚽

10:57am AnAnonymousParty:

This has intermodulation distortion before it even hit the microphone preamp.

10:57am morphe':

Jake - you cannot buy Duane's wee child beer....
(I do believe his nickname is some form of Boogie)

🚽

10:57am -Ken:

I'm warning you Morphe, the picture of my horn being removed is very graphic and disturbing. Are you sure you want to see it?

10:57am Andrew_in_WI:

Is this Matt Warwick's side project?

10:57am Patty D:

This is amazing

🚽

10:57am PigeonsAndRust:

Knowing this song exists makes me really really really want to learn how to hack into the grocery store's Muzak system

🚽

10:58am David (in London):

You mean 'Bad Boy' Matt Warwick?

10:58am JakeGould:

@morphe': Boogie is cool. Bougie pays a lot for food with a pinky in the air.

10:58am Brendan:

The secret to caca flute is never inhale

10:58am morphe':

Simon (8.5) just said, "Daddy.. I know it is Ken but can you switch it off..it's a little bit disturbing..."

10:58am βrian:

This isn't terribly pleasant. But it also isn't auto-tune, so there's that.

10:59am sun:

Hey, I recently heard a great jazz band cover The World is a Ghetto using a flute as a lead part and no vocals, and it was so great.

10:59am Yvang:

11:00am tim from champaign (now washington):

11:02am Henry:

🚽

11:03am David (in London):

Kenmeister, it looks like you've just turned a still of the chestburster from Alien on its side.

11:03am Yvang:

Sacrebleu!

🚽

11:03am Handy Haversack:

@morphe', Ken says you're popular! Well done!

🚽

11:03am PigeonsAndRust:

That's pretty cool! It looks like your horn has a couple of stalks

11:03am YETI BOB:

i used my ad blocker to block that image

11:04am morphe':

David (in London) - be grateful ya do not have a. 8-9 year old learning recorder...allegedly learning recorder... Alleged notes A and C......

11:05am ևoևo (:

I tried too, YETI BOB! But it doesn't work for me! HEEEELP!! Bring all the antidote GIFs!

11:05am disgusted:

So gnarly jeeeeeezus that's intense how big did it stick out?

11:05am morphe':

Ken - Simon said ""OOOOUUUUGGGHHHHUUUUGGHHH!!!!!"

11:06am Asheville Jon:

ugh, i want to unsee the horn.

🚽

11:06am Ken From Hyde Park:

Hazmat scalp!

🚽

11:06am David (in London):

@morphe - If I add '...any longer...' to your comment, you will understand that I understand your pain.

11:07am disgusted:

11:07am slowbear:

about to walk into work SCREAMING about the horn

11:07am ևoևo (:

Damn it! I thought Ken was going to say Emerson... Lake and Palmer. But no, no. It's just Emerson Kitamura!!!

11:07am Asheville Jon:

i think the horn is more vulgar than the ken and andy in the masturbatorium gif

11:08am PersistanceOfVision:

AGHHHHHH!

11:08am Rich in Washington:

Dang!
I'm on the app so can't see it!

11:08am weiterso:

11:09am Asheville Jon:

Rich, here's the image link:
wfmu.org...

🚽

11:10am David (in London):

@ևoևo - Emerson Kitamura, Lake and Palmer is surely the fusion supergroup we've all been waiting for.

🚽

11:13am Handy Haversack:

Ralph Waldo Emerson Kitamura would be transcendental.

11:14am ևoևo (:

That would be great, David (in London). Can we also throw t.A.T.u in?

11:16am tim from champaign (now washington):

@Station Manager Ken - Is it true that there's a connection between growing horns and copious consumption of scotcheroos?

11:17am Dean:

There's an Emerson Lake near Susanville, CA.

11:17am morphe':

David...London.. this wee beautiful accident is my second go round ... 1990s redux... and ELP truth
Mean Bklyn story, a boy named Karl entered school (mid 70s)late in the semester. He had Prog band names written on his notebooks... We were [Horribly] goofing on him. He added and H to ELP = HELP = truly true sad story...

🚽

11:18am -Ken:

@Tim, I don't think that's possible because Scotcheroos are God's Perfect Food.

🚽

11:18am David (in London):

@ ևoևo ( - Damn, that's a challenge. How about Emerson Kit.A.T.umra, Lake and Palmer?

🚽

11:20am Handy Haversack:

@Snoochie, we're saved! The party goes on!

11:20am βrian:

Never heard of scotcheroos.

🚽

11:20am David (in London):

@morphe - Sir, I salute you in all ways.

11:21am ևoևo (:

David,

Just to to be fair with Handy Haversack, what about Ralph Where is Waldo Emerson Kit.A.T.u.mra, Lake and Palmer? It's a win-win-win

11:21am morphe':

All of the 8!!!!!!!!! Wild Irish Roses(not counting the parents) cannot yet be on dope!!!!!!
Some of the wee ones must just be on the cough syrup or cod liver oil!!!

11:22am tim from champaign (now washington):

@Staysh - thanks for squelching that rumor about Scotcheroos causing horns.

11:23am Lixiviated Life:

How many covers are there of "All Tomorrow's Parties"?
and why?

🚽

11:23am Rich in Washington:

If they ever make one of those music for babies cover albums of Velvet Underground, this could be All Tomorrow's Potties.

🚽

11:24am Rich in Washington:

Sorry.
I'll let myself out now.

🚽

11:24am David (in London):

@ևoևo (: - Damn, we've created a monster! @Handy Haversack - are you cool with that? You will be when the ticket revenue from the sell out stadium shows starts to roll in...

🚽

11:25am Handy Haversack:

Sign me up!

11:26am steveo:

11:28am Marley Dogg:

Staysh- thanks for a very interesting show today and everything you do!

11:29am tim from champaign (now washington):

Oh yeah - here comes the tuchus rock!

11:29am morphe':

David in London - just noticed yer Icon - last time in London (Herne Hill) heard a rustling outside in the rubbish. Looked out the wind 3rd level... A fox was trying to get food from a black bag but did not want to put his/her/its head in the bag. It was grabbing the bag and trying to upturn it and dump the rubbish out... Ps I have seen more foxes in London than in the west of Ireland.. True

🚽

11:29am -Ken:

11:33am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth, real Ken and all other Kens within or without.

11:34am tim from champaign (now washington):

What came first? Undertones' "Teenage Kicks" or Misfits' "Some Kinda Hate"?

11:35am YETI BOB:

seriously, he's rhyming "much" and "tush"? i always thought it was "touch"

11:35am Asheville Jon:

oh i have a great story for tonight. the time ken did 3 hours of queen's bohemian CRAPsody

11:35am ևoևo (:

Oh, so there's money involved here?

On something totally unrelated. Did I mention Motorhead's label is FoFo Record Label?

🚽

11:35am Ken From Hyde Park:

Yay for Motörhead and the heavy metal umlauts!

11:35am Tommy in Neversink:

The time(s) I had to turn FMU off- every time Kenny G was on

11:36am YETI BOB:

"that time i had to turn off wfmu?" you mean like 20 minutes ago?

11:36am tim from champaign (now washington):

I bet Billy Jam is double jointed.

11:36am joe:

I'm actaully going to say I think it may have been Some Kind of Hate

🚽

11:36am -Ken:

More details Tommy! More Details!

🚽

11:36am David (in London):

@morphe - You are absolutely right. The fox populations in London are absolutely booming now. I grew up in a little village in the Chilterns, and I'd only ever had one good sighting of a rural fox. Now after living for decades in London, they are trotting down my street every night. (That icon picture is actually me, in my fox mask replica from the cover of our album of last year). Where on the West Coast are you?

11:36am ևoևo (:

Tommy in Neversink is my new soul brother.

11:36am steveo:

never heard that guitar wail in tandem with the vocal like that i am learning things here

11:38am Okasa:

Well that's very sad.

🚽

11:39am -Ken:

Foxes make the coolest sounds at night. It's called barking but it's more like screeching. It's unearthly. I love it when I get to hear it.

11:39am morphe':

T in Neversink - do not even mention the name!!!!!
to his (not named) credit - he did film butt crack videos at the record fairs of people,
people = men - going through crates of vinyl
and
he did get the domain name
Kenny G....

11:42am Patty D:

Radio signal is down

🚽

11:42am Handy Haversack:

Digging this Turing Machine. Never heard before.

11:42am Patty D:

Nvm

🚽

11:42am -Ken:

Which radio signal Patty?

11:43am Patty D:

91.1 might have just been my car. It was off for like 25 seconds and then when i tuned out and back in it worked

11:43am morphe':

David..London.. I was actually born in Bklyn of dairy farmers from West Kerry(Dingle)...Sadly stuck in Madrid; Love my wee one but no ocean here and too many fascists. Lived/squatted London 1986-1989: Stoke Newington, East End then Brixton then/now steep rents...

11:44am Edward Schultheis:

11:44am Asheville Jon:

i have pulled up the bohemian CRAPsody show playlist and comments, and will be ready to recite my posts of that day, and tell why i had to turn WFMU off at that time

11:44am weiterso:

sounds, that there is a Big Blood-sample

🚽

11:44am David (in London):

@Kenmeister - They do that outside my house all the time, as there is a long, unkempt railway platform opposite and they have a den at the end of it. I'll try and record it for you sometime.

🚽

11:45am David (in London):

@morphe - Right, you've been a wanderin'. And funnily enough Stoke Newington is where I live, and have done for long enough for us to even possibly overlapped...

🚽

11:46am PigeonsAndRust:

I get to hear foxes screeching, coyotes yowling, feral cats humping and barred owls screeching up here in Ulster County. It's rarely a silent night, and I have to keep my lonely chicken and homing pigeons under heavy wraps

🚽

11:46am Beast of Boonton:

Ken - The horn looks like it had 2 testicles. Is that possible?

11:46am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

It's pretty deep.

🚽

11:46am PigeonsAndRust:

Maybe the horn was blocking Ken's melody receptors all these years

11:47am Carmichael:

Carl Carlton has everlasting love.

11:47am Yes:

11:48am Asheville Jon:

SM Ken, will i be able to say "crap" on the air?

11:48am Bill W:

11:50am The Oscar:

Fabio's latest hot take is weird.

🚽

11:50am Rich in Washington:

Looking at that Smigel/Eavesdrop release. Amazing. Bought it! Thanks, Ken!
It sort of reminds me of the wonderful online project Sweet Thunder Tape Findings.

🚽

11:50am David (in London):

@morphe - Ha ha, I live on Jenner Road.

11:50am sun:

Is this one of DJ Fabio's Quick Takes?

11:51am tim from champaign (now washington):

Hey Fabio!

11:52am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

The Ghost of X Ray Burns: they're in the cupboard on the left, help yourself…

11:52am Asheville Jon:

been listening to 777 a lot lately

11:52am ևoևo (:

What Ken does not mention about his horn is that he grounded to powder, dissolved it in boiling water, and sold it to rich folks with erectile dysfunctions in the Far East. Ken knows it. Everyone at the station knows it. Ken is an engangered DJ species.

11:53am YETI BOB:

ken: black tent press

🚽

11:54am David (in London):

@ևoևo ( - There has recently been a little viral trouble emanating from that part of the world. Is the sale of Ken's horn responsible? I think we should be told.

11:54am Whooda:

Hey There DJ Station Manager Ken and Elsewhos.
Is that horn pic a "selfie"? If so did your phone have its own little paper hat and booties to wear in the operation room?

11:54am steveo:

ken thank you for all the wonderful things that we heard today, the terrible things that we heard today, and all the horrible and wonderful things we may hear yet in the remaining minutes of today's show

11:54am morphe':

David - we were the 3rd house in off the green #70 .. If you say that is where you live Sam Beckett could not make it up

11:55am The Ghost of X Ray Burns:

Thanks @Granny! Tonetta and I appreciate it

🚽

11:55am Handy Haversack:

Crap! So late. SMKen, what an excellent show today. Really brightened my Wednesday, for reals!

11:55am Tommy in Neversink:

Let's get up a posse and tar and feather Kenny G

11:56am Tommy in Neversink:

11:56am YETI BOB:

11:57am Rich in Washington:

Great show, Ken!
And congrats on the successful, if gory, de-horning!

11:57am ևoևo (:

Thanks but NOT thanks, Ken, for the horn pic, but thanks for everything else! Bye people, till next episode and remember: loosen up and BE HAPPY, MOFOS!!!!

🚽

11:57am David (in London):

@morphe - No, I'm a little bit further down. Phew. I feel quite relieved about that. I was beginning to think that the time streams had crossed. Nonetheless, that's brilliantly synchronous. Whenever you are next in London, come to the old neighbourhood and we'll sink a pint in the Auld Shillelagh.

11:57am ranjit:

baby animal has haunted my dreams for years

11:58am Rich in Washington:

Wahlbeck: Sperling Records, Trumtrum Records, depending on which issue you have.

11:58am Sebastian:

Merci, Ken!

11:58am Rich in Washington:

Oh. Yeti Bob spotted it first.

11:58am -Ken:

Bye everybody! Thanks for hangin'!

1:04pm ifeelfatnsassy:

Had a stupid meeting right when you got the negative harmony section that I sent to you. Glad some people didn't hate it! For anyone smarter than me that is interested in the theory, there's a thread here about it: music.stackexchange.com...

Hippy Chick! I tracked down and bought that CD after you played it years ago. It has one good song on it!
