The Prog That Wouldn't Die: Ken's show

Listener comments!

7:54am Michele with One "L":

I came for the gifs, and I'm staying for the prog.

🚽

8:18am -Ken:

What kind of Prog would you like to hear, @michelewithoneL?

8:25am -K٤n:

Morning friends!

The really real Ken here typing with his fingers. I'm glad you mentioned prog, Michele with one L because today we will embark on a musical journey with PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Le Orme, Il Balletto di Bronzo and all those great prog rock bands from the Italian Renaissance.

8:33am orpheusviking:

GM. in the vein of Italian prog, Goblin would be my request

🚽

8:34am -Ken:

Italian Prog Shoutout: The Stormy Six

8:39am orpheusviking:

yeah it doesn't get much more proggy or italian than that, TSS!

🚽

8:42am -Ken:

Thanks for all the ideas everybody, filling up my record trolley with PROG PROG PROG!

8:50am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Well, I guess it's not exactly Prog, but now I want to hear the "Art Rock Suite" from the "National Lampoon"'s album "Goodbye Pop".
www.youtube.com...

If that's too long, how about "Old Maid (Southern California Brings Me Down)" from the same record?

www.youtube.com...

🚽

8:51am -Ken:

Oh shit, all my PROG IS BROKEN.. wtf am I gonna do now?

🚽

8:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

Olgathon!

🚽

8:52am -Ken:

goddamnit i think my prog supply is fried fuck

8:53am (((Murakami Whywolf):

First hour advice, please:

Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Nestorians: what saint or saints should we venerate (_not_ worship) to intercede to protect us from the melodies?

🚽

8:53am -Ken:

I had my entire show pulled and ready to go... all prog .. what a waste

🚽

8:59am Rich in Washington:

9:03am YETI BOB:

the best prog is Avant-Prog - R.I.O. forever

🚽

9:03am Handy Haversack:

Marillion has an eighteen-minute-long song about Grendel -- modeled after John Gardner's novel. If you want to really talk prog.

9:04am Snoochienucci:

hey DIL hope your doing well, you too handy! and SMK! and ALL who listen to WFMU! lol

🚽

9:04am Handy Haversack:

Morning, David in London, Snoochie!

9:05am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I don't like hearing "Staysh"—I do like Stacia, though, so HAWKWIND COVERS! featuring some other lady dancing, presumably.

🚽

9:06am -Ken:

Sorry about that rocky intro everybody, having LOTs of prog problems this morning. Thanks God I found the Argent in time

9:07am Progpopular:

Scraping the frosting right off the poptart with the mighty anvil of Progressive Rock...need more coffee...

9:08am People Like Us:

I enjoyed the mistake, sorry

🚽

9:08am David (in London):

Following Steveo's lead from last week, I did a bit of Yoko analysis. Evidence supports Steveo's assertion that there has been a slight drop-off in airplay of late. But this century Ken's Show rates at number six in the top ten shows playing Yoko. Results viewable here: public.tableau.com...

9:08am YETI BOB:

I want to hear all 5(!) parts of "Lark's Tongues In Aspic"

9:08am fӨfӨ (:

Hello, progressive Ken and other prog rock fans!

🚽

9:08am David (in London):

I need to get out more.

9:09am People Like Us:

how about you play anything and then we type "stop"

9:09am (((Murakami Whywolf):

'I _like_ "Bohemian Rhapsody", but it also demonstrates conclusively and irrefutably that punk was absolutely necessary. "—Me.

Double for any song claiming rock'n'roll for G-d, except for the 'like' part.

9:10am Davee:

Why do I get the feeling I'm going to hear Don Felder this morning?

🚽

9:10am Ken From Hyde Park:

Is Michele rocking out yet? Are there photos to confirm this?

🚽

9:10am AnAnonymousParty:

@Ken, isn't there a big "In case of Prog emergency. break glass, pull lever" button thingy on the studio back wall?

9:10am Dieter:

I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE GIF FOR AMERICA!!!

9:11am Dieter:

COMPETITIVE NETTY POTTING?

9:11am (Murakami Whywolf))):

'America'? I've heard of it, byt I've seen little solid evidence of its existing recently.

🚽

9:11am -Ken:

Shit I managed to get these two prog tracks on but th4e prog supply is again at less than 10% FUCK WHY IS THIS HAPPENING@@@@???@

9:11am avalanche50:

That British Whale tune sounded a lot like the great White Witch

9:11am Sebastian:

drowning in cheese!

🚽

9:11am Ken From Hyde Park:

EFD should be rocking out right about now.

🚽

9:11am Handy Haversack:

Ken, you might have been BEDAZZLED.

9:12am mouskowitz:

this is extremely fake T. Rex

9:12am (Murakami Whywolf))):

s/byt/but/g, damn it.

9:12am Nacho:

I’m surprised this wasn’t the first song in the show

9:12am peapod Ross:

Lol ken didn’t your 7SD focus group teach you anything about the bedazzler

🚽

9:13am Handy Haversack:

@David in London, now the truth is out there!

9:15am Phin The Hyooman:

@Dieter: The fact that they had to dress in sleeveless shirts to do their competitive neti potting is quite fascinating to me.

9:16am fӨfӨ (:

Great job, David in London! Is there a way to check who played the most varied Yoko material? I'm pretty sure all those 23 plays by Mr Ken are just the Walking on Thin Ice song.

9:17am Snoochienucci:

awww man, missed the Bedazzler when i took a bathroom break. The negatives of staying hydrated

9:17am steveo:

good morning; sounds like you're really fulfilling your role as prog-ram director today

9:17am Davee:

FELDER! FELDER! FELDER!

🚽

9:18am AnAnonymousParty:

@Ken, are you in Europe? Do you need an adapter? I have a universal prog supply I got from Radiant records.

9:18am steveo:

@David I.L. wow that's just amazing; thanks for your work on this important issue!

🚽

9:18am David (in London):

9:23am Handy Haversack:

🚽

9:23am -Ken:

Hey Flatlander, you really in Da Yupe?

9:23am Snoochienucci:

9:24am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

9:24am Erin in TO:

This is the best Enter Sandman I've ever heard

9:24am fӨfӨ (:

Excuse me, Mr Ken, but Can, Faust, Pink Floyd and even Hawkwind are all prog rock bands! Of course they aren't as good as a keyboard solo from Keith Emerson but they still rock prog.

9:25am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

i see @ken is making up for last weeks brit-pop show. i hear IRWIN was upset he didnt have anything to play.

🚽

9:25am AnAnonymousParty:

9:28am Phillippe Bastille:

Howdy

9:29am Snoochienucci:

@Listener Phillip i love Rush, saw them a few years back. Im more poking fun at the people on here who dont like them lol

9:29am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

RUSH. after their album "roll the bones" their music went down hill. sorry to say.

🚽

9:30am -Ken:

I know, @f0f0, Can, Faust, Pink Floyd and even Hawkwind were all in the Prog Cart. Sucks I Cant Play Them Now Fucking Technology Am I Right?

9:30am fӨfӨ (:

David in London,

Yes, a filter would be great. Can you build a model based on Ken's archive to predict songs he would play on a given Wednesday? Then I can make alternative plans for that Mariah Carey show he's being working on.

9:30am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

i LOVE RUSH TOO. have over 20 songs on my ipod touch.

9:30am Lixiviated Life:

Yikes... I'm late to the show.
What did I miss?
Tell me everything!!!

9:30am Colin in Durham, England:

I was so happy yesterday when Michele said she was still friends with Frangry. Bring back Shut Up, Weirdo please. I went back and listened to them all from the beginning and I’ve finished now. Need more

9:32am Listener Phillip In Bronx Little Italy:

SAD about drummer Neal Pert. i guess thats why they broke up. couldnt see the guy die of brain cancer:(::::

🚽

9:32am David (in London):

@steveo - Thanks man. Glad you like it. @fӨfӨ ( - Predictive Ken modeling is being worked on the shady back rooms of Google even as we speak...

9:34am Snoochienucci:

@Listener Phillip yeah terrible about Neal, i think his Wife and Daughter also passed within a couple of years. Such a sad story

9:34am fӨfӨ (:

David in London for president (of the WFMU Data department)!

🚽

9:35am Ken From Hyde Park:

Who would've prognosticated this?

9:35am ProgTastic:

Warning: Prog Juice is potentially toxic.

9:35am ccc:

someone activated a device that wiped out all Prog data in the area. it was an ELO EMP

🚽

9:35am AnAnonymousParty:

Are you sure it was a bad connection, or just some weird time signature?

9:37am Patrick:

The next State of the Station is going to address all the damage done from the prog juice

9:37am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln:

its probably friesisch – northern germany dialect

9:38am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln:

and perhaps denmark

🚽

9:38am Webhamster Henry:

Brian Woodbury had a satirical prog tune on his new collection: brianwoodbury.bandcamp.com...

9:39am Fletchernyc:

Sounds Prog-ish

9:39am Ike:

Somebody in the office just mentioned Poco. I take this to be a dark omen.

9:40am SoylentMike:

Has Wing done Minstrel in the Gallery?

🚽

9:41am -Ken:

Holy shit, this IS PROG! It's like a ghost in the machine

9:41am People Like Us:

Dan Deacon is very proggy yes

9:41am SoylentMike:

9:42am Snoochienucci:

9:43am steveo:

@Phillip I.B.L.I.: I hope you will find some more milliamp hours in the near future.

9:43am steveo:

AH HELL I HAVE A DAMN DENTIST APPOINTMENT

9:43am fӨfӨ (:

Imagine a world with no prog rock. What would Rick Wakeman be doing with his skillfull fingers? What would Geddy Lee be singing about ? What would be of our lives without Aqualung?!

9:44am Okasa:

It sounds like your prog-oscillator is on the fritz. You're gonna need a certified and unionized prog-chanic to take a look at it.

🚽

9:45am David (in London):

@fӨfӨ ( - Truly, it's a frightening picture you paint. A life without Aqualung would be a sad and dark one...

🚽

9:45am -Ken:

Can somebody please explain PROG for Snoochie?

9:46am fӨfӨ (:

If normal rock is for the feet, prog rock if for the brain.

🚽

9:47am Handy Haversack:

Hey, Snoochie, you know how sometimes mad pipers orbit a blind god the size of a galaxy? And eldritch winds blow from the nighted gulfs of time and on them travel scents that hint at the coming of the monster of the prophecy? But also synths? That's prog.

9:48am Hubig Pie:

I have no soap
and I've lost all hope

🚽

9:50am David (in London):

@Hubig Pie - Here, I've bought you a Soap on Rope. That should help.

9:50am Fletchernyc:

Sometimes it’s as simple as a lamb lying down on Broadway.

🚽

9:51am AnAnonymousParty:

Prog is like rock music, but you can't dance to it because it's in 23/8 time and just about the time you think you get the hang of it it changes to 5/4 time for a while before changing into a 'soundscape' for a bit.

9:51am Ike:

@Handy, good work. That description should win a trophy. A prog trophy.

9:53am Strandlund:

I always look forward to your show Ken! One of the best on ol' FMU!!

9:53am allanINtoronto:

Music for grimy dim tiled rat tunnels...is the other side Jersey or Manhattan?

🚽

9:54am Handy Haversack:

@allanINtoronto: both. That's how you know it's prog.

9:54am weiterso:

so, prog is rock for people who can't dance and have a bigger brain than her feet

9:54am Snoochienucci:

@Ken thanks for the backup @Handy wow everything really makes sense now, thats kinda what i had in mind, but i wasnt thinking synths were also apart of the mix, so that i think is where my confusion was @AnonyParty that makes sense too, i always seem to be out of time. Gotta count more!

9:54am Hubig Pie:

I think he's driving a Hoover wind tunnel vac

9:55am Snoochienucci:

9:55am John from Florham park:

@Handy howdy
@Snoochb howdy

9:58am fӨfӨ (:

Now, Snoochienucci, in order to pass the prog rock exam you need to endure the prog video. If you manage to finish it you become a prog rock fan.

10:04am queems:

10:04am fӨfӨ (:

Talking about whales where is my brother in arms that also hates the British Whale song? Are you here, my fellow soul? I feel lonely without you.

🚽

10:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

Emergency! Runaway prog at 43 Montgomery Street!

🚽

10:04am Handy Haversack:

Brendan, then you should probably stay away from p.org.

10:05am Ike:

Is there such a thing as prog funk? Maybe the band Rise Robots Rise?

10:06am Snoochienucci:

@f0f0 i made it through, needless to say im covered in prog juice now. @anonymousparty ill have to save that for when my mind is only focused on prog-education

🚽

10:07am admiral crisp:

🚽

10:09am admiral crisp:

no no of course not Starcastle just kicks astronaut

10:10am morphe':

Will Andy be in the FMU studio or calling from his studio/office/BSMT sperm lab?

10:10am Snoochienucci:

one of my recurring nightmares is that im in a hotwheels/matchbox car and i go around a loopy loop and right as i launch of a ramp on the other side i wake up

10:10am fӨfӨ (:

Ladies and gentlemen, a big round of applause (and with both hands for better effect) for Snoochienucci!

Warmest congratulations on your prog rock graduation.

🚽

10:11am David (in London):

This is a proud day for us all.

10:11am Stashu:

Me understand language you speak! Peter Ivers! Mysterious death indeed! He left behind some great music.

10:11am Brendan:

Ken you forgot to mention your addenda to Andy’s 7SD idea. Everything through the balloon delivery. Followed by a clown that pops the balloon in front of the kid.

10:12am Snoochienucci:

Thank you all! i wouldn't have made it to this life milestone without all of you! Being covered in prog juice is a great feeling!!

10:12am allanINtoronto:

'Family Napkins'...wonder why that never caught on.

10:14am Stashu:

Beware of the Prog.

10:16am queems:

i want this music to follow me around when i go places

🚽

10:20am Handy Haversack:

Snoochie, now it's time for you to buckle down and get a prog job. We have an opening in the blind pipers department ... or, do you think you're good at understanding stuff from the POV of either light or geometry?

10:20am Stevel:

I'm pretty sure this music DOES follow me around.

10:21am Brendan:

Raymond Scott is a gateway to PROG. This can only lead to Raymond’s original Powerhouse, followed by Rush’s cover section of the same in La Villa Strangiato.

🚽

10:23am David (in London):

@handy - No entry level jobs doing repetitive data entry about prog into a database for minimum wage?

10:23am Ruby Schmerling:

Yeah Roger Roger!

🚽

10:25am Handy Haversack:

@David, they have all been automated -- after the motor laws, it was inevitable.

10:25am fӨfӨ (:

Brendan,

All Ken's shows are gateways to prog rock. Yes, Ken, I'm sorry to inform you but you are somehow the fourth member of Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

10:25am Jewelia:

was that last track the wicked witch on her broom in Wiz of Oz?

10:25am Hubig Pie:

Not to be a comment board know-it-all, but tele-skiing is a form of free-heel alpine skiing

I believe Rimsky played the piano on this one while Korsakov had a go with the theremin. It kind of sucks because we all know Rimsky mastered the Theremin.

🚽

10:32am David (in London):

And hippy socialists.

10:33am Hubig Pie:

neoliberal prog rockers are more into AT skiing

10:34am Barney Grubbs:

10:41am Stanley:

Hi David. Had to jump in there to register my irritation

10:41am pierre:

Extremely long time no see guys.
I'm passing by, slowly going back to this insane thing that is WFMU.

(the only thing is that time wise, the only show that I can listen to in the beginning of the day is Wake 'n' Bake, and although I love Clay pigeon, I miss the diversity)

10:41am Stanley:

@fӨfӨ: We're gonna need a bigger marquis!

10:46am fӨfӨ (:

YETI BOB,

Thanks! But this supergroup couldn't exists without Handy and David in London. Also, this is the sort of thing that happens when there is no fantasy football equivalent for music bands.

10:47am weiterso:

Track 3 is 'Machi no Aida'

10:51am YETI BOB:

How about "Dinosaur Sex" by Family Fodder?

10:51am crateslinger:

seriously has anybody looked at this? WTF?
www.ebay.com...

🚽

10:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

Too close. I forgot to send a Valentine to my dear mother. ♥️

10:52am crateslinger:

By Mark Hurst's next show it will be gone...

10:52am LCBD:

That’s saying something, Ken!

10:52am tim from champaign (now washington):

I thought Ken was going to play Strokin' but this will do nicely.

10:52am βrian:

Ach, I've updated my browser, and now I can't figure out how to disable agitated gifs!

10:53am rsj:

love these holiday shows

10:53am YETI BOB:

Crateslinger: What the heck? "This Is A Very Unique Setup That You Could Either X-Ray Things or Convert Into Any Number Of Things."

10:54am fӨfӨ (:

jan,

I also succumbed to the Earth Wind and Ozzy earworm disease. But I found that playing Eddie Murphy's Boogie In Your Butt on repeat an hour before going to bed cures it. Unfortunately it only overrides it.

10:54am jan:

@Ken: that "world of production music" show was great! I think I have a bunch of cassette recordings of those shows.
I need a new belt on my cassette recorder to confirm. Speaking of the WFMU past, I was astonished to hear Don Sleppinan playing on Radio Ravioli. "Synthetic Pleasure" was the WFMU program from back in the day where one could hear such music.

10:55am peter:

one of my fav RM tunes...but you blew my mind...

🚽

10:55am David (in London):

@crateslinger - The lead-lined driver's outfit is extra I presume?

🚽

10:55am AnAnonymousParty:

Isn't "Put another Log on the Fire" the quintessential Valentine's Day song?

🚽

10:56am Handy Haversack:

@Crateslinger: "Google NYPD X ray van" is in the imperative: en.wikipedia.org...

10:57am fӨfӨ (:

THE PROOOOOGGG IS BAAAAAAAAACCKKKKKKK

10:58am Snoochienucci:

Now this is prog i know! yes SMK!!!

10:58am sydnius:

Careful With that Axe Goat Scream

10:59am steveo:

i survived the dentist! do people really have sex with inflatable dolls? seems so unsanitary. also, nice axe.

10:59am YETI BOB:

Crateslinger: So many questions. Like, how did an NYPD X-Ray van wind up in Warrenton, Missouri?

🚽

10:59am David (in London):

@handy - It feels sinister that the link to 'z backscatter' leads nowhere...

🚽

10:59am David (in London):

Although I think Z-Backscatter might be the name of my new band.

🚽

11:00am Handy Haversack:

Your interest in z backscatter has been noted, internet user. Please remain still until you hear the chime.

11:01am YETI BOB:

I actually used to work at a company that made backscatter x-ray detectors. That link should probably just redirect to en.wikipedia.org...

🚽

11:01am David (in London):

@steveo - Hurrah! No horrible further work needed then?

11:02am fӨfӨ (:

I wanna know what the heck is this z backscatter is all about but now I'm afraid to google it.

11:02am steveo:

there's always more work!

🚽

11:02am David (in London):

@YETI BOB - You have absolutely just blown my mind.

11:03am YETI BOB:

OK, fixed it.

11:06am tim from champaign (now washington):

Oh no..........

11:06am YETI BOB:

@David In London: Princeton Gamma-Tech, in good old Princeton NJ. They made all kinds of different radiation detectors. Some were used to detect lead paint in buildings, and other ones were used for inspecting nuclear facilities.

11:09am YETI BOB:

fӨfӨ: if you don't wanna look it up: regular x-rays are picking up the xrays that go through a body or object, backscatter just means picking up the reflected rather than transmitted rays. so you can do it from one side, like this police van.... they don't have to get on both sides of you

11:09am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Still recovering from the horrific end of Micah's show yesterday. Not sure if this is helping.

11:09am grace:

new thekenschlampen song for you ken! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUI28Lsfr1E

11:09am Rev. Turnip Druid:

also: hello.

🚽

11:09am Cmurtha:

This song is an adventure

11:10am steveo:

wow, no one answered my inflatable doll question; I'll just assume you all do, then, I guess

11:10am tim from champaign (now washington):

Hey, it's Ravishing Rick Rude in the gif

11:11am YETI BOB:

this ebay listing is really crazy. is somebody really selling a police van with working x-ray setup? how come "X-RAY VAN" is not right in the listing title? talk about "burying the lede"

11:12am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Also: Barbara Steele [salute]

🚽

11:12am David (in London):

@steveo - I only ever have sex with an inflatable doll when visiting the dentist. I confess it has in the past lead to a few awkward check ups.

11:12am Lewis:

is that Rachel Welch?

11:12am Tom in St. Paul:

This set is making me feel dirty, Ken.

(Can you show us where the station manager touched you?)

🚽

11:12am Handy Haversack:

@David IL, talk about a root canal!

11:13am steveo:

excellent! I hope it is inflated with nitrous oxide, then!

11:13am YETI BOB:

Maybe I should buy the x-ray van. Then I can drive around and take x-rays of .... things.

11:13am fӨfӨ (:

Thanks for the explanation, YETI BOB. What else can I ask for, fellow listeners! Listening to my favourite show while learning about the nature of things.

🚽

11:15am David (in London):

@steveo - I remember having NO (or something similar) at a dental visit when I was a kid sometime in the late 70s, and it remains the best trip I ever had. Nothing I ever had as a psychedelic explorer later on touched it.

11:15am Brendan:

Shes turning into a Reverie!

🚽

11:16am AnAnonymousParty:

Crap, I missed my favorite Pink Floyd tune.

11:16am (Murakami Whywolf))):

That Ann Magnuson makes me starkly hungry for bunny rabbits, Satan, cheese, and milk.

🚽

11:17am David (in London):

@YETI BOB - Yes, thanks for the X-ray primer. V useful. And you could do the most amazing Easy Rider style road trip if you bought that van...

11:18am Lixiviated Life:

I'm a "sailor" ?

11:18am Rev. Turnip Druid:

No, I'm Iron Man.

🚽

11:18am -Ken:

Not crazy about how Ms. Magnuson is conflating Centaurs and Satyrs.

11:18am steveo:

i think you mean my hooves curled up

11:19am steveo:

ah yes see

11:19am Roberto:

OK this is getting goat screamy AF right about now.

11:19am fӨfӨ (:

coninflating Centaurs dolls surely?

🚽

11:19am Handy Haversack:

Half man, half goat, half horse!

11:20am steveo:

lol f0f0

11:21am wearpants:

@YETI BOB love from Pittsburgh, thank you for bringing WFMU into my life

11:21am Brendan:

Ken can you play that song about that girl doting on some guy named Phil. Then maybe Blind Man’s Thingee , then maybe Minnie Rippertons Lovin You (in demon voice) then some PROG?

🚽

11:21am AnAnonymousParty:

"And then you ate the soap, pooped in the tub and started chewing on the shower curtain."

🚽

11:21am Cmurtha:

I think of Satyrs as the thing from pans labyrinth.

11:22am βrian:

"Be a satyr, Alligator."

11:22am fӨfӨ (:

Time to trigger the Screaming Goat Cheese, Murakami!

🚽

11:22am Cmurtha:

I swear if it talks about a Satyr's priapism

🚽

11:23am David (in London):

@Brendan - That sounds like a fantastic playlist. You need your own show.

🚽

11:23am Cmurtha:

OH NEVER MIND INDEED

11:23am fӨfӨ (:

That would be Phill's Baby, Brendan. Adorable tune I still don't get why people say it is creepy.

🚽

11:23am yippie:

satyrs are uncircumcised

11:23am YETI BOB:

Yo Pants! Big love to all the folks in Polish Hill!

11:24am Rev. Turnip Druid:

11:24am JtotheK:

Arriving late, but here for the last 35 minutes! Hi Ken, hi everyone.

11:24am steveo:

this final bowie album always pulls my hearstrings

🚽

11:24am Handy Haversack:

Fauning all over him.

11:24am YETI BOB:

I've got the head of a centaur and the body of a minotaur...

🚽

11:25am yippie:

that song made want a thyrsos

🚽

11:26am JtotheK:

@Fofo - any inside info about this last half hour? Is romance in the air around here for Valentine Week? (Which can only mean a request for some Clarence Carter Strokin' to really firm up the mood!!!)

🚽

11:26am David (in London):

@YETI BOB - And the minotaur wants it back...

🚽

11:26am Ken From Hyde Park:

There are no known cases of satyrs contacting the coronavirus. Think about it.

11:29am fӨfӨ (:

JtotheK,

What I gather from the last half hour is you should never bring an axe in a sexual encounter with a virgin Satyr inflatable doll.

🚽

11:30am JtotheK:

Ah. Thank you Fofo for the recap/analysis of the programme.

11:30am PMD:

Ken you made me smile on my commute to work today. Thanks!

11:31am sydnius:

Just replace "never" with "always".

🚽

11:31am David (in London):

@fӨfӨ ( - That is truly a maxim to live by.

11:32am fӨfӨ (:

steveo,

You might have survived the dentist, but I survived the whole Todd Rundgren song. I win!

11:32am steveo:

hah; the instrumental part at the end is nice, though, isn't it?

11:33am Rev. Turnip Druid:

That list is solid, but keep the milk.

🚽

11:33am Cmurtha:

that is a powerful blast of milk jesus

11:33am Brendan:

Whisper sweet nuthins about cheese and milk in my ear baby

11:33am Bill W:

I find this song a tough listen cuz dairy is kind of revolting.

🚽

11:34am JtotheK:

Re: Milk. I also like the (not appropriate for airplay) song 'Milkman' by Aphex Twin.

11:34am Brendan:

This is a real hoof tapper

11:34am fӨfӨ (:

EMULSIFIEED NOSE DROOOOOOOPPPSSSS!!!

11:35am Sam:

Mother, these nose drops REPEL me!

11:35am Yes:

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

"Dear Flash, the powdered version of the nose drops makes me feel reallly reallly goood."

11:36am YETI BOB:

Don't you know that I get emulsified?

11:36am Lixiviated Life:

Todd Runddren never gave me anything
I HAD TO TAKE IT

11:37am Sam:

Ken is just being satyrical

11:37am Snoochienucci:

Goats go to hell

11:39am Sam:

I used to live with my ex on the boulevard of broken balls

11:39am tim from champaign (now washington):

Is the Boulevard of Broken Dreams located at the bottom of Slippery Slope?

11:39am steveo:

Hmm, but you missed the previous track on the Plantinga album: "In The Spirit Of Ono"

11:39am Snoochienucci:

i live by one of those Elderly Living Homes and one lady used to walk a goat around town. not sure what happened to either

🚽

11:39am AnAnonymousParty:

He was in Blood, Sweat and Tears, right?

11:40am Tommy:

Maybe Sweat is short for Perspiration

11:42am tim from champaign (now washington):

It's always good to hear Fabio outside of his usual time slot.

11:42am fӨfӨ (:

No, please no Fabio!! Nooo, It's horrible, it's awkward, it's ...it's ...OH, FABIO, YES! YES!

11:42am Tommy:

🚽

11:52am Handy Haversack:

Ken, I dropped Scott a line about volunteering toward the end of Marathon and haven't heard back. Should I poke or assume it's all in the pipeline?

Thanks for a hell of a show! We really got somewhere.

11:52am Dragoicho:

I thought it was Wednesday, but clearly it's Satyrday

🚽

11:54am Cmurtha:

thanks for the show and the PSA on angry texting

Ken, you didn't list Siouxie and the banshees
