Wed. 4/30/08 9:02am From: John from Oslo

Top of the morning to you Sven!

and som faaaaaaar out news:
Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered the hallucinogenic drug LSD, has died aged 102.

Wed. 4/30/08 9:02am From: Listener Dave

Mornin'

Wed. 4/30/08 9:04am From: Ken

Morning all. Yes, Albert Hoffman deserves some kind of memorial, doesn't he?

Apologies for the fatal flaw on this AM's inaugural slideshow... the slideshow starts over every time the page reloads - every 55 seconds. doh!!

Wed. 4/30/08 9:05am From: Parq

Digging the slideshow, Ken. The reptilian Iggy is scary, but the naked metalhead is even more so.

Wed. 4/30/08 9:11am From: dei xhrist

hello Manchester/Hampton NH! with a daxophone!

Wed. 4/30/08 9:17am From: Laurie

Ken, I've been listening to the WFMU 128k mp3 stream for the past 20 minutes or so without a single rebuffering issue! Yay!

PS: I hope this picture is in your slideshow. My friend made it.

picture number eight is unsettling, and maybe slightly sinister

Wed. 4/30/08 9:20am From: Listener James from Westwood

That Star Wars shot is truly bizarre. Dig the slides! (Now that I think of it, I guess "slide" is one of those words like "cc:" now, for which one never actually handles a piece of film or glass in a cardboard frame -- or a carousel full of them -- or literal carbon paper to make a carbon copy via typewriter, but the metaphor endures. Just my rumination on defunct tech.)

Wed. 4/30/08 9:21am From: giselle

why do i feel like i'm stuck in an endless loop? aaaaahh. stop it ken! please?

Wed. 4/30/08 9:22am From: mouse

please stop

Wed. 4/30/08 9:23am From: Parq

This is a lot more repetitive than I remember it.

Wed. 4/30/08 9:23am From: Listener Dave

Carbon copy in the true sense is not entirely defunct. There are a few stands at the Union Square farmer's market that use the old credit card things where they take an impression of your card and have you sign since there's no phone line in the middle of the park....yet.

Wed. 4/30/08 9:25am From: seanh

surely virtual slideshow technology has advanced to the point where "shuffling" is possible?

Wed. 4/30/08 9:25am From: jan

Your slide shows are just as enjoyable as your broadcast. But what about picture credits? On the playlist, you note the artists- please attribute the photos and art if possible.

Wed. 4/30/08 9:26am From: Doug

I hope this never stops ...

Wed. 4/30/08 9:31am From: Parq

Ah, a John Deere letter! Ken, it just slays me when you talk like that.

Wed. 4/30/08 9:31am From: John from Oslo

This is great!

Just a note on the slideshow; it restarts after the star wars picture... but as I just discovered if I push the right arrow, I get a whole new set, and when that set is done it restarts with the initial loop again... but I'm on firefox - so that might be it... the pictures are great though

Wed. 4/30/08 9:36am From: weiterso

you can give it an extra tab and slide away
http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/slideshow/loader.swf

i don't like slideshows in the morning

Wed. 4/30/08 9:38am From: listener scott

agreed with john from oslo - slideshow is problematic on firefox; it only loops the first set, and even if you advance slider, it reloops to first pic after whichever picture you chose

Wed. 4/30/08 9:40am From: -max-

Hello Jersey City!!

Wed. 4/30/08 9:50am From: dei x

I've been listening to the Wesensteen myself, and wondering what words they are using.

Wed. 4/30/08 9:55am From: HotRod

Thanks for the Vorpal track. What a nice surprise! :)

Wed. 4/30/08 9:58am From: Wes

I want the original bubble blower back

Wed. 4/30/08 9:58am From: Will

Tying it all together, I have fond days of the show that was your laryngeal free-zone a few years back, in which you (Ken) gave up on us the listeners as back-announcers and brought in the TTS solution. He (it) even has a name if I remember correctly. Was it Javier? I forget. In any case, I hunted fruitlessly for that voice among the several TTS webhavens of the day and never got around to asking. But I will ask now: is Javier still reading live text, or are all the Javier-ism canned at this point? For instance, could Javier say "I want the original bubble blower back?" if he needed to?

Wed. 4/30/08 10:00am From: john from oslo

Hi Dei X

Wesensteen consists of Rolf Wesenlund and Harald Heide Steen jr - they are Norwegetarians. Sprottfox is taken from the album "Live at Kaffistova", where they on a couple of tracks talk and sing in "made up" English - English that doesnt make sense...

Wed. 4/30/08 10:02am From: Ken

Will - No, it broke my heart, but the voice of Julio was discontinued and I have never found a replacement. I would even PAY for a TTS program with Julio's voice.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:02am From: toni daytona

hiya ken-- i have to talk to you,,,last week i sent you some mail and you never gave me feedback,,,any reason why?? also just 2 more things---on the next live 7 second delay show you & andy should talk about FAMILY GUY and how great a show it is,,,,lastly some fmu deejays are not fair,,,they delete some of the comments,,WHY KEN??? SEE YOU NEXT WEEK,,,,

Wed. 4/30/08 10:03am From: Ken

Dont know what happened - the slideshow aint working for me anymore. Is it working for anybody else?

Wed. 4/30/08 10:04am From: HotRod

Slideshow is not working.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:05am From: Mark

not working on IE 7.0

Wed. 4/30/08 10:05am From: sahak

hey ken have you any armenian music? that would be pleasant :)

Wed. 4/30/08 10:07am From: fishmonekystew

The slideshow has crapped the bed.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:07am From: weiterso

i hope, it was not me, huh!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:11am From: Listener Dave

Hello Sweden! Goodbye Slideshow! Doesn't work for me anymore either.

Speaking of Sweden, anyone know any good hotels in Stockholm? Seriously, I'm going to be there the end of July.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:13am From: Wes

This choir piece is amazing.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:15am From: Ken

Yep, ye olde slideshow crashed! I will try putting it back up there after the show is over. Back to the drawing board!!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:15am From: dei x

Just because it's made up, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Crrrrrazy English-sounding-speaking types.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:18am From: Laurie

Dei X, are you talking about the Dutch language?

Wed. 4/30/08 10:18am From: -max-

aacplus.wfmu.org just went down. First thought that it might be connected to the slideshow crashing. I switched to 128k version and that is working.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:20am From: Ike

The aacPLUS stream isn't working for me either. I'm worried that if I continue listening to the 128k version here at my horrible new job, they'll think I'm downloading torrents, and rap my knuckles.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:20am From: bwalker

last thursday? was the day? I will send you a late card

Wed. 4/30/08 10:22am From: dei x

Dave NH - http://info.aos.se/E/V/STOSE/0004/48/57/ and http://www.clarionstockholm.com/art.asp for the land of Ikea. No I've not stayed at either.
Laurie, the Dutch (& Swedes) are all borq bork borq. But Finnish - that's a language with vowels 5-1, as compound as German, and half the length of English.
No sound through Foobar.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:27am From: bwalker

I had read once that Mahmood Ahmed was having trouble getting into the country - I wonder what changed? perhaps our gov has calmed down and we will have no more problems with artists and musicians and filmmakers getting into our land

Wed. 4/30/08 10:28am From: Listener Dave

Del X , thanks for the links

(just plain Dave, not Dave NH). Going to Finland too but already have a lead on a hotel there.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:28am From: Ken

Damn, the slideshow is breaking every damn thing!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:30am From: Negator

Screw the slideshow! Sell the house! Sell the kids!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:31am From: weiterso

that was great, the ex wakes me up

Wed. 4/30/08 10:32am From: The slideshow

It's not my fault! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:34am From: john from oslo

Dave! Finland is great! Make sure to visit http://www.andorra.fi/en/moskova/index.html
The Keurismäki bar!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:36am From: Wes

Some Elizabeth Clare Prophet mixed into this would be quite lovely.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:36am From: Laurie

I think "Foobar" just refused to play John Zorn. That's why you have no sound.

I am happy to say that I have not had a single rebuffering pause! (And I tried to listen last night, around midnight before I knocked off, and it was Buffer City. So yay! I think!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:38am From: SueB

I was wondering if your were going to play the MUSE song straight, but HAHA it wasn't. you COULDN't. you wouldn't.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:38am From: bwalker

I have always wondered how "ASS" is ok to play on the radio - somewhere there is a proposal to add that word to the list of nos -
but until then KEEP KICKING ASS

Wed. 4/30/08 10:41am From: Laurie

i was looking through the news and getting the usual knot in my stomach but then i heard cl lewis and things got better. thanks ken.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:45am From: Ken

Yes, Benjamen - It's OK to kick ass but it's not OK to suck ass. It's OK to shake your ass but not to expose your ass. It's OK to be President on your ass but not Governor IN your ass.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:46am From: bwalker

I wanna meet the man who sorted all this ASS stuff out!

Wed. 4/30/08 10:47am From: SKUNKHAMMER

I am 46 yrs old from Sonora Ca. If there are any ladies from my area listening to this wonderful radio station, I would love to get an e-mail from you. skunkhammer@gmail.com

Wed. 4/30/08 10:48am From: Ken

Sorry Skunhammer, no trolling for tang here.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:48am From: mouse

please don't

Wed. 4/30/08 10:48am From: Laurie

I'm sorry, SKUNKHAMMER, my mom told me never to go out with strange men named SKUNKHAMMER who solicit attention from the ladies on WFMU's comment boards.

She was very specific about that.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:48am From: Dominick

It never ceases to amaze me how anyone could think Family Guy is funny

Wed. 4/30/08 10:48am From: Trish

Slideshow was good except for the refresh/restart. It'd probably have the same effect week after week, too with the same start image.

How about setting it so it's a linked page from a single playlist image and the thing starts from some image# that's handed from a href=link? Or a jquery slideshow (eg. thickbox). Or something.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:48am From: Parq

Oh, thank God, this song was starting to fade out of my mind, I was afraid I might not be able to have it running through my head all day.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:50am From: bwalker

man - if I had a name like Skunkhammer I would totally get more action

Wed. 4/30/08 10:52am From: Trish

fuuuuuuck

Wed. 4/30/08 10:52am From: Listener Dave from NH

Skunkhammer's 46? If Skunkhammer was born in the US, I know who I'm casting my write-in vote for president for this year.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:53am From: gene shallot

Gene Shallot is the messiah. Especially when he eats chocolate ice cream in bed wearing white gloves.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:53am From: Laurie

Maybe you should change your name to Mr. Awesome. That guy gets action from tons of ladies. Of course, he has to pay them for the attention, but that's just a small detail.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:53am From: Listener Dave

Tough titties? Ah, this won't get read.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:54am From: Negator

'trolling for tang' aww shit that's funny, Ken. But while we're at it....
I'm a 56 year old tranny who likes Joyce and Cheetos. I like hairy bears and The Stylistics. Anyone listening to Ken trolling for tranny Ken can help with my contacts. See you after the show, Ken! Look forward....

i like having the posts read to me by a robotic voice while i work.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:56am From: Pivi

What's all this then?

Wed. 4/30/08 10:56am From: Ghengis Jung

Suburban

The more the comma's nine mates simper boldly, the more they broke italian flapdoodle?
It's better to steal than squander.
Perturbed mote was without my curly touchdowns and sir irregular!
Or sir irregular over three prostitutes does slaps them.
Options are fascist.
We nudge!
Mister scissors-like scissors-end jerks!
You sunscreening my racial clergy.
I punt softly...

The less pernicious corners kick another many more honkeys, the more they route them...
Then i do veto peed-cousins on queen pit and my zero cashiers and president protestant and a peed's magenta metal-wagons...
You do schedule the peed!
But if you have pranksters, insistently swept sir irregular on one more menses and the peed's preserved pool and the three nudists and sir irregular and the peed's lassie and pygmies...
Sir irregular won't be pedantic.
Then who does sir irregular eschew?

Uh-uh.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:58am From: o

Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.

Wed. 4/30/08 10:58am From: Will

Ken,
Ha! I love it! I know how you feel (about Julio). I do know a guy in Ithaca who might be able to find out more about where Julio went. Do you have the reference code for the voice profile? Ken,

Wed. 4/30/08 11:00am From: Laurie

Skunkhammer, please learn from the best. This is my favorite Craigslist ad ever:

I have a simple request: Would someone like to come over to my place dressed in a long, beige trenchcoat, panama hat, and dark sunglasses, smoking a cigarette? When I open the door (I'll be wearing a polka-dotted dress and wiping my hands on an apron), you will be looking away. You will say, "Is the cake in the oven?" I will hang my head, fight back tears, and invite you in.

We shall move to the bedroom and I shall undress awkwardly, looking upset and ashamed. You will throw me up against the wall and I will scream "Maim me!" as you bite through my strand of cultured (but we'll pretend they're real) pearls, which will fall to the ground and scatter. You will think I've said "Mamie" (as in Eisenhower).

At this point, you will stroke my hair gently and become romantic and tender, renderng unto the First Lady the respect to which she is entitled. Slowly and carefully, you will rub your hand up my thigh. When you reach my genitalia and discover I am genetically male, you will fly into a rage and "rape" me (condoms and lube will be located in an antique snuff box at arm's length; please be discreet in procuring them).

Prior to climaxing, you will push me to the floor, remove your condom (again, discreetly), and ejaculate into my eyes. I will lie in a crumpled, sobbing heap at your feet, softly singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President." When your semen has dried my eyelashes together (this might take a while; I will have prepared a selection of cold cuts, assorted beverages, and glossy magazines for your entertainment), you will softly clean it out with a sponge dipped in warm milk.

You will hold me in your arms as we await the coming night. When (and whether?) we part again will be determined from that point.

Other than the above, I am not really looking for a specific "scene." Just a chill bro I can kick it with and see where things go.

Wed. 4/30/08 11:00am From: Laurie

Whoa, that was kind of salty!

Wed. 4/30/08 11:02am From: Listener Dave

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Wed. 4/30/08 11:04am From: Listener Poutine

Hi Ken, thanks again for continuing to provide the greatest soundtrack a Wednesday morning could ever have. I'm looking forward to tonight's 7 Second Delay, and would like to add a suggestion to your text-to-speech idea - you can add a very surreal element to it if you take your English text and run it through BabelFish into another language and back into English again. This is what happens to this letter when it's run through the Japanese language mill and back:

For the second time appreciation to the thing which continues to offer the largest sound track where morning of Wednesday of ケン can today have. I seeing first in 2nd lag of tonight 7, desire the fact that it adds proposition to the thought of converting your text to sound, - you take your English text and if you move to another language and English for the second time due to BabelFish, it is possible very to add the surrealistic element to that. As for this when moving through the plant those which happen are this letter:

Wed. 4/30/08 11:07am From: dei x

ooh ooh! I don't know what we're listening to in the background. Varese? Ives?

Wed. 4/30/08 11:07am From: dc pat

sounds like Charles Ives played backwords...

Wed. 4/30/08 11:07am From: don pubah

the soundtrack to pinnoccio backwards?

Hahahaha this is excellent. I've never heard them slow.

Wed. 4/30/08 11:09am From: dc pat

chipmunks played at normal speed..interesting

Wed. 4/30/08 11:15am From: Ken

Not a bad guess, but it wasnt Ives or Varese. I will send a shirt to the first person who can ID the composer!

Wed. 4/30/08 11:17am From: dc pat

wasn't Stravinsky was it?

Is there an mp3 of that pissed off caller from Boston? I want to send it to my dad. That was great

Wed. 4/30/08 11:27am From: Wes

Computers have built-in calculators, there is no excuse to fail (although i do at times)

Wed. 4/30/08 11:29am From: Listener Poutine

"Eighteen Nuns"... thanks Ken, you've contributed to the Internet's tendency to subject my monitor to sprays of coffee and other beverages.

Wed. 4/30/08 11:32am From: Laurie

These Cackle broads sound like chickens.

Wed. 4/30/08 11:32am From: Ken

Nope, I will play the mysery composer again next time I talk..

Wed. 4/30/08 11:33am From: Ken

Also dont forget I will repost the slideshow as soon as the show ends... and I think it will work properly after the show ends.

Wed. 4/30/08 11:33am From: Gregg

The Avalanches "Frontier Psychiatrist" would do nicely right about now......great show.....first time listener.

I'm talking about the treatment... flashbacktastic!

Wed. 4/30/08 11:43am From: dc pat

Aww, the chemist who discovered LSD has died at the age of 102. RIP my hero

Wed. 4/30/08 11:49am From: Lysergic Poutine

can your synth say Lysergic Poutine on the radio?

Wed. 4/30/08 11:49am From: Bad Ronald

A Hendrix tune like "Are You Experienced" would be a nice tribute to Albert Hofmann...

Wed. 4/30/08 11:51am From: Laurie

I hope the Jimi Hendrix sex tape is called The Jimi Hendrix Sexperience.

Sorry, nobody has guessed this morning's mystery composer. Free FMU T-shirt to anybody who guesses it. I was playing one of his famous pieces both forward and backwards at the same time, although I was playing the first part of a symphony forward, and the last part backwards. That's all the hint yer gettin! Lots of great guesses, just not any correct ones!

I was checking out Ken's show while listening to 7SD and discovered the challenge. It is one of my favorites, Olivier Messiaen's "Turangalila Symphony"

Steve nails it! Regarding the slideshow this morning, the damn thing crashed our server! So I can't put it back up just yet, and for right now, that was an experiment that wont be repeated again anytime soon! Next week, it's either back to pics throughout the playlist or a popup slideshow or something...

Hi Ken, your show is a gift.
for Hofmann's tribute, I'd liked best
"Are you experienced" by Shockebilly
(Eugene Chadbourne, Kramer, David Licht)! ...as everything of this beautiful 80th noise and KING MISSILE "mystical shit"...
play it soon, cause soon I'll live in Jakarta with very slow Internet....
have ;---)

Hi Ken, it's me. I'm pregnant. Please give me your phone number and address so I can have your pay docked for child support. Thank you for the lovely memory.
