Hello Ken! Hello America! Hello Sweden! Hello everybody!

Wed. 3/19/08 9:02am From: Listener Dave

Excellent opener. You know, some Rush would be a nice segue.

Wed. 3/19/08 9:05am From: Negator

This song was my favorite song to listen to while taking LSD a long time ago. Fearless..

Wed. 3/19/08 9:05am From: Dickdong (UK)

I'm going to Sweden TOMORROW! I'll think of you Ken.

Wed. 3/19/08 9:07am From: jonathan

Wed. 3/19/08 9:09am From: Ken

Morning everybody. I might as well have waked and baked, I am severely under the weather today. Been in bed for the last five days with flu.. feeling underwater still..skin crawling.. must play records...

Wed. 3/19/08 9:12am From: Dickdong.

Wed. 3/19/08 9:14am From: Negator

That is truely fucked up! Who is Martyn Jacques?

Wed. 3/19/08 9:14am From: Ken

Yep, that was Martyn all right. A solo track on a new David Moss curated compilation.

Wed. 3/19/08 9:20am From: Laurie

I <3 Martyn Jacques.

Wed. 3/19/08 9:23am From: Bad Ronald

Hang in there, Ken. We're all pulling for you!

Wed. 3/19/08 9:27am From: jonathan

don't be sorry, ken...everything is coming together...just as we planned.

Wed. 3/19/08 9:30am From: JJZ

I've always felt that the key to getting back to good health when sick was watching The Price is Right.

Wed. 3/19/08 9:43am From: ratbone

watching the price is right MEANS you're sick!

Wed. 3/19/08 9:47am From: cribley

Wed. 3/19/08 9:55am From: jonathan

Wed. 3/19/08 10:02am From: Will

What was that playing behind you Ken?

Wed. 3/19/08 10:02am From: Bad Ronald

I like this!

Wed. 3/19/08 10:02am From: fern

Hey Ken, Just tuning in. I have to say, post-maration, you're doing some of the best shows you've done in a while. You must have been preoccupied pre-marathon.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:04am From: Ken

That was "Nostalgia of Island" by Haruomi Hosono behind me before.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:06am From: Will

Cheers. This is good.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:29am From: johN

God Bless you K man. I almost want to clean windows for a day just to see what people are up to.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:37am From: Mark B

Liked the Meadow House. Kinda like George Formby on LSD.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:38am From: spok

man you are amazing!hahahahahaha

Wed. 3/19/08 10:38am From: Gregory

But, Ken, why WAS the prostitute so expensive??? If my child asked, I wouldn't have a clue, other than to engage in a long discussion of the laws of supply and demand, marginal value, and so on. Is that what the Daily News recommends? Oops, there's my son on the phone right now!!!

Wed. 3/19/08 10:41am From: Ken

She was so expensive because she WASNT a skanky ho! Hello?!!

Wed. 3/19/08 10:42am From: cribley

Perhaps he paid her not to sing whilst they were trysting.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:42am From: Gregory

Good point. I am calling my son back right away. He didn't fall for that whole "marginal value" story.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:45am From: Laurie

I had no idea John Zorn composed stripper music. Is this why they gave him a MacArthur genius grant?

Wed. 3/19/08 10:46am From: Bad Ronald

Hi Laurie are you the Laurie who was interested in the Ded Skakels EP?
TX - BR

Wed. 3/19/08 10:51am From: Laurie

Yes. I emailed you.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:52am From: Ken

Yes, Zorn has lots of great strip-tease music. All from his Spillane period. That's not why he got the Genius award though.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:52am From: Bad Ronald

Sorry to bother you can you please resend?
I lost it.

Wed. 3/19/08 10:54am From: Negator

What is interesting to me about this is the lack of talk about male prostitutes. Do they have the same price point of $5000? What constitutes a $5000 an hour male hooker? I wonder if men get that much. I've never solicited a hooker, but in my past I didn't get laid much. I'm not unattractive either. Maybe I'll tell my kids when they ask, whats a hooker, daddy, I'll say, 'That's a person that lets you release your inner slut son.'

Wed. 3/19/08 10:56am From: m p

ken, whenever i doubt the logic of pledging so much money to wfmu on my zero salary, i just need to listen to you doing a deathbed show and i know that all things are good, the world withstanding.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:00am From: Marie

Great show Ken! I hope you feel better soon. I hope you have something fun planned for next Wednesday.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:01am From: Ken

Thanks Marie. I'm going to Atlanta next week for a radio conference. Anybody have any suggestions for stuff to do in Hotlanta?

Wed. 3/19/08 11:02am From: JJZ

Get stuck in traffic, I seem to recall from my last time being there.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:04am From: Bad Ronald

Visit Richard Jewell's grave

Wed. 3/19/08 11:05am From: Ken

Yep, this is what I thought....

Wed. 3/19/08 11:10am From: JJZ

Actually, there was a hamburger place that was supposed to be quite good. http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2007/03/wsjs_best_burgers.html it's "Ann's Snack Bar" at the bottom, and I think more details are linked within.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:15am From: richard

Ken, are you and Andy back on tonight? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from S/S Delay podcast deficit, and my doctor just doesn't understand!

Wed. 3/19/08 11:15am From: Vivian

Oh yes, Ann's Snack Bar is home to the Ghetto Burger. You may want to stop in at the Clairmont Lounge. Saturday night generates a mixed crowd.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:16am From: Vivian

Avoid downtown, still a mess due to last weekend's tornado

Wed. 3/19/08 11:19am From: Mark

Perhaps something peachy

Wed. 3/19/08 11:20am From: Bad Ronald

Thingamajig!!!!!!

Wed. 3/19/08 11:21am From: Adrian in London

I listened to the SSD waterboarding podcast on the way into work this morning then looked at the Flckr photos. You really DID have men in black hoods! I thought it was just artistic licence.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:24am From: Ken

This is as far as I can take this whaddayacallit theme unless someone has some ideas and quick!

Wed. 3/19/08 11:26am From: JJZ

Well, there was that old whatchamacallit candy bar, commercials on youtube, I bet.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:26am From: Mark

Play Sister Ray twice

Wed. 3/19/08 11:26am From: Bad Ronald

Play something by "the artist formerly known as Prince".

Wed. 3/19/08 11:27am From: Bad Ronald

SWLABR?

Wed. 3/19/08 11:29am From: Bad Ronald

Blah Blah Cha Cha Cha?

Wed. 3/19/08 11:29am From: monica

"The What-Cha-Ma-Call-It" by Johnny Mercer. Maybe in MP3 library?

[listening to Native Hipster] For some reason, I suddenly have the strangest craving for a steak sandwich.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:45am From: Sean Daily

I have the strangest craving for a fried sandwich. Yes, this is the... first fried sandwich I have eaten.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:47am From: Listener Dave

I love the Humppaa!

Ken, you're almost home....

Wed. 3/19/08 11:49am From: mace

@nh_dave: and that was jenkka, not humppa :) they singed "jatkosotajenkka", that is "continuation war jenka". that particular war was between russia and finland in 1941-44.

Wed. 3/19/08 11:54am From: Bad Ronald

I wish my dentist played Naing Naing during my visits

Wed. 3/19/08 11:59am From: nh_dave

Man I need to scrub up on my finnish music references :) Thanks for the correction, who knew!

Wed. 3/19/08 11:59am From: Carl

The Roman Marching Band has totally sold out...

Wed. 3/19/08 11:59am From: Ganjibus Gorilla

Awesome photos... what's the story behind 'em?

Wed. 3/19/08 12:00pm From: Laurie

Feel better, Ken!!

Wed. 3/19/08 12:01pm From: Listener Dave

Good night Ken. Thanks for another great Wednesday morning.

Wed. 3/19/08 12:46pm From: Ken

Thanks everybody. Ganjibus, those photos are from the annual Holi festival in India, which happens every March. It's also called the Festival of Colors. People throw colored powder all over one another. The full set is on my flickr page here:

Fri. 3/21/08 1:59pm From: Jeff M

Good work, Ken... I can feel myself catching your cold, even through the computer and delayed by archiving. The congestion is making my ears pop.

Nonetheless, you bring joy. Kathryn was wondering why I was getting that odd grin on my face... I explained that since we were starting to hear the instrumental strains of Nilsson's Popeye music, if we were lucky we might hear some backing vocals by Zatumba. And if we were really lucky, we might get some TRAIN WHISTLE!

The joy is nearly as contagious as your cold.

Fri. 3/21/08 3:06pm From: Jeff M

When I asked Kathryn what you should do in Atlanta -- she lived there for ten years before escaping back North -- I thought she might come up with a suggestion involving some of her old music-scene buddies or their favored haunts. Instead, she mentioned that the main place in Atlanta people used to make a pilgrimage to from within Georgia and from all the states around was the "Gold Club".

It may be a little too late, though:

I think you mean You'll never walk alone is by Gerry and the pacemakers don't you?

Fri. 3/28/08 5:33am From: DJ N-rated

For Bad Ronald and his dentist : Naing Naing's next album will feature samples of Naing Naing at the dentist (and this song is already included in his live shows). Some loves it and some hates it !

Sun. 3/30/08 9:52pm From: spaniel
