Wed. 8/19/09 9:13am From: Ghengis Jung

Wed. 8/19/09 9:16am From: Lizardner Dave

Welcome back Ken Ken!

Wed. 8/19/09 9:16am From: Ken

I just posted ALL my Vinyl Fetish photos on Facebook: http://facebook.com/ken.freedman

Wed. 8/19/09 9:21am From: Dan B

Awesome! I have something to look at when I get home from work tonight!

Wed. 8/19/09 9:23am From: Ken

Dan, wtf? "When i get home?" We're not living in the dark ages!

Wed. 8/19/09 9:26am From: PMD

Hi all... and Annie of Strange Words. Ken, great to have you back.

Wed. 8/19/09 9:26am From: PMD

Oh, wait, I take that back... Just scrolled through the photos. What color are your toenails now Ken?

Wed. 8/19/09 9:34am From: Tami

Hi! Don't know what I'm doing awake, but I'm awake and listening!

Wed. 8/19/09 9:36am From: Dan B

Well, Ken, I've been warned more than once about looking at vinyl fetish photos at work, however, my employers actually encourage me to converse with DJs and Listeners on Live Playlists. I know. I work for a strange company.

Wed. 8/19/09 9:47am From: wha?

Yes! Dein Kuss has been floating around in my head all morning. Thank you, Ken.

Wed. 8/19/09 9:50am From: cribley

i love skipping CDs

Wed. 8/19/09 9:52am From: Dan B

Mr. "Crooks and Thieves Must Go" looks like a hybrid of Andy Cohen and The Dude...

Wed. 8/19/09 9:54am From: Ken

Mr Crooks and Thieves is Listener John H. I am SO proud.

Wed. 8/19/09 9:56am From: elvina

oh oh oh thank you for Dave Cloud... perfect

Wed. 8/19/09 9:57am From: BSI

Good organ, Herr Freedman!
Is it too late to become one of the Beautiful People?

Wed. 8/19/09 9:59am From: Ken From Hyde Park

The MSNBC site has list of things going obsolete. Item 34 laments the local record store becoming scarce. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32449036/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/

Wed. 8/19/09 10:04am From: Laurie

Hi Ken! It's nice to hear you back on the radio.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:06am From: BSI

GODDAMMIT! I would KILL for adult-sized "armor of god PJs" -- I went immediately to http://www.armorofgodpjs.com but they seem to be only available in WORTHLESS KIDDIE SIZES!!!!
WHAT THE HELL GOOD IS THAT?!?!? I need a set of these! Need! Need!

Wed. 8/19/09 10:06am From: Ken

Thanks Laurie! I will be gone again next weekbut beginning the week after (Sept 2) that I'm back in the saddle again for good.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:11am From: dei x

Armor of Satan PJs; you get to sleep naked. Armor of Satin PJs; sexy, but not functional

Wed. 8/19/09 10:12am From: Jamesoid

hear the whole Dave Cloud storyhere http://podcasts.resonancefm.com/archives/2265#more-2265

Wed. 8/19/09 10:16am From: -max-

I miss you, Jim.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:18am From: Lizardner Dave

Was that Lester "Roadhog" Moran?

Wed. 8/19/09 10:18am From: Mac

would it be kinky if I wanted to wear the girl's version of "The Armor of God" PJs?

Wed. 8/19/09 10:19am From: J-Mar

I just sent a link to the Armor of God PJs website to a friend and told him, "Your kids need these." He wrote me back and said, "Forget the kids, I want to see these on my wife."

Wed. 8/19/09 10:19am From: paul

don't say hello, when you can say goodbye

Wed. 8/19/09 10:19am From: dei x

Probably, Mac, as the chastity belt is a little different.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:20am From: jan

I expect to be hearing the Glaucoma song stuck in my head tonight
when I am trying to go to sleep. Thanks

Wed. 8/19/09 10:21am From: BSI

I've sent an email to the God PJ people asking about adult sizes. I dearly hope they will get many more such requests from this mob of deranged and sleepy perverts!

Wed. 8/19/09 10:21am From: PMD

J-Mar - great!
I would imagine though that the boy's hat might make for uncomfortable sleeping. The cross (right?) at the top might get caught in the headboard or something.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:23am From: J-Mar

Yeah, well, just try sleeping with a Star of David attached to your head.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:24am From: Ne-guh-tor

Ken, now why can't you sing like Mayor Healey? What a voice. What richness, SING IT! SING IT!!

Wed. 8/19/09 10:25am From: Joe Steele

The Pope's album drops in November, Ken. Just sayin.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:25am From: annie

you gotta have <3

Wed. 8/19/09 10:26am From: Ken

What, our new Nazi Pope has a CD coming out?!!!

Wed. 8/19/09 10:26am From: annie

funny, after all that's come down since last november, i was wondering if we were going to hear this homage any more!~

Wed. 8/19/09 10:28am From: Peter Lorre

Paul Frees?

Wed. 8/19/09 10:29am From: Joe Steele

You didn't know?

http://beatcrave.com/2009-08-05/pope-benedict%E2%80%99s-new-album-to-drop-in-november/

I hear he does a kickass version of Notroious B.I.G.' s "Big Poppa"

Wed. 8/19/09 10:30am From: still b/p

Sounded like Jeremy Irons as Boris Karloff, and without a stretch.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:30am From: Joimsie

Nice seg Boris-> Nina

Wed. 8/19/09 10:30am From: Peter Lorre

Nina Simone is way much scarier than Boris Karloff

Wed. 8/19/09 10:31am From: Rob W

"In 1982, John Paul II reached number 71 in the charts with The Pilgrim Pope, and, in 1994, his recording of The Rosary peaked at number 50." (http://struckbyenlightning.wordpress.com/). Holger Czukay also did a great appropriation of JP-2 rapping in his "Blessed Easter" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCDubkDog4s

Wed. 8/19/09 10:33am From: J-Mar

Y'know, if Ken wore adult diapers, he wouldn't have to use that stalling recording so much.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:36am From: texas scott

hey ken.let's all try this...

http://tinyurl.com/mjahuy

Wed. 8/19/09 10:42am From: annie

it's way too late to announce this but i feel it must be said:
"and now!! let the wild rumpus start!"

Wed. 8/19/09 10:45am From: ?

Ohaiyo, bakayaro!

Wed. 8/19/09 10:45am From: PMD

Oh, that organ donation thing gave me a much needed laugh.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:46am From: annie

i'd love to get it over to FB..

Wed. 8/19/09 10:48am From: GP

Ken,
What is the "Jesus" logo on your T-shirt? Is that your old skool Jesus and Mary Chain 1986 world tour concert shirt?

Wed. 8/19/09 10:48am From: Janet H

Good Morning All!!!

Wed. 8/19/09 10:49am From: Carmichael

Good morning Ken, and poster people.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:50am From: Ken

Hello Janet!! GP - the shirt I'm wearing in that pic is a Michael Jackson "Jesus Juice" T-shirt. I just wore it yesterday, coincidentally!

Wed. 8/19/09 10:52am From: GP

Cool..you know as the Doobie Bros say...Jesus is just alright with me....and um,,,,watch out for those bears.

Wed. 8/19/09 10:55am From: jojo

did i miss something what is this music?
can't wait for the remedy track

Wed. 8/19/09 10:58am From: chris

that wave pic is photoshopped right?

Wed. 8/19/09 10:59am From: Joe Steele

Not that I haven't been paying 100% attention but:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA

Wed. 8/19/09 11:01am From: L

WOW! Didn't know Little Jon could sound good :D

Wed. 8/19/09 11:07am From: -max-

I sent Ken a photo awhile back (his face on a gun-toting baby), but he has yet to post it. Should I feel slighted?

Wed. 8/19/09 11:10am From: Cheri Pi

These pix of Exsumawa are priceless:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mkrigsman/sets/72157610446593604/

Wed. 8/19/09 11:12am From: Denise in Washington, DC

-max-: Yes.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:12am From: Ken

Thanks for that link to the pics of Exusamwa Cheri! They have the best band masks EVER!!

Wed. 8/19/09 11:16am From: Carmichael

I would have nightmares after seeing them. Now, GWAR I could handle no problem.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:18am From: Dan B

I love Tom Scharpling's premium CD. Since I've gotten it, I don't think it has left my car's CD player. Well worth a donation to WFMU!

Wed. 8/19/09 11:19am From: C

I like this. Reminds me of Pearl Jam.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:20am From: Ken

Max, way to put me on the spot. I love your photos but I couldn't understand that photoshopped one you sent in. Couldn;t tell what was supposed to be going on in there.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:20am From: GP

Ken...that settles it...a masked band tribute show...
Start with Lordi...Gwar...I.C.P..Kiss?...ad nauseum.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:21am From: james

A song about bad breath I think

Wed. 8/19/09 11:22am From: Cheri Pi

I've been on a HIGH from my premiums for the last few weeks, and also strutting around like a peacock in 3 WFMU t-shirts! The best investment I've ever made.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:23am From: Ne-guh-tor

Wow! You are playing my good friends band Birds of Avalon! I have played in a band with the bass player. The new record is really good, eh?

Wed. 8/19/09 11:30am From: BSI

Damn you strutting-around-like-peacocks people with your WFMU swag! I'm still waitin' on my golden box o'goodies... Is there another DJ slackin' on his/her premium I wonder?

Wed. 8/19/09 11:30am From: Cris

hey ken did u see that neil young thing floating around on pbs? they ignored whole chunks of oeuvre. but i liked how he admits when things go horribly wrong at times.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:37am From: Ken

Cris - I missed that.. BSI - contact Joe to find out whats up wioth yiour swag: http://wfmu.org/email.php?id=235&return=%2F

Wed. 8/19/09 11:38am From: GP

LOL, Dream Warriors....I wore this CD out back in the day.
Thanks Ken

Wed. 8/19/09 11:38am From: Bklyn J

Awww, remember when hip hop used to be fun?!

Wed. 8/19/09 11:38am From: -max-

Sorry Ken, but that kid's head was SO BIG that when I inserted your head it did look a bit odd, I know. I did what I could, but I still thought it looked cool enough for our crowd to appreciate.

A saw a Neil Young thing on PBS this week, might have been the same thing, and it had some great stuff, like where he says that he only responds to his Muse, and if the changes he goes through in his musical output ends up hurting others then it's just too bad.

Ah, Dream Warriors! Wonderful! We just recently preserved our VHS of theirs by transferring it to DVD.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:39am From: Lani

Aaaaah! Boombastic...

Wed. 8/19/09 11:39am From: Bklyn J

Love that Quincy Jones sample too!

Wed. 8/19/09 11:40am From: Bklyn J

This was waaaaay before Austin Powers beat it to death.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:41am From: Irwin Chusid

FYI: sample on My Def = Quincy Jones "Soul Bossa Nova" feat. Rahsaan Roland Kirk on flute.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:42am From: Bklyn J

The Whistleman! Yeah!

Wed. 8/19/09 11:43am From: GP

Irwin thank for the info..need to add that to my "want" list.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:43am From: Ken

This is one of the reasons why I love the comments on the playlist - all the info on "Boombastic" is correctly put out there and I dont even have to lift a finger!

Wed. 8/19/09 11:43am From: Carmichael

Aaah, Dokaka. Ramblin' Man is an all-time classic. I watch my friends stare at my speakers in horror whenever I play it. That and Tiny Tim's Stairway to Heaven.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:46am From: Cheri Pi

More masked bands:Los Straightjackets, MF Doom, Bob Log III

Wed. 8/19/09 11:47am From: BSI

thanks Ken, I sent a hasslegram to JoeMcG. My hunger for corn-weenies and locked-groove loops must be satisfied!

....oh, and if there IS a god, perhaps some Armor Of God PJs from another source!

Wed. 8/19/09 11:48am From: Denise in Washington, DC

Carmichael, Mr. Tim's version of Stairway to Heaven is one of my favorite tracks of all time, along with Li'l Markie's Diary of an Unborn Child. I am going to instruct my loved ones that they must somehow work both of these pieces into any memorial service they hold for me.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:48am From: PMD

I received all my swag, finally. Ken, can't believe you don't play some of Van Morrison's songs to break the record contract. Ring Worm is a classic.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:50am From: Carmichael

Ken, despite Cecile's absence today, she loves you.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:51am From: Denise in Washington, DC

Got my swag, but Irwin, FYI, your NJX Vol. 2 CD was all screwed up -- made horrific noises on every track. If I send it back, can I get a replacement?

Wed. 8/19/09 11:52am From: Lizardner Dave

The locked groove LP is on backorder. I got everything else earlier this week. Love the plate and my cats stare at the Buddha machine when I turn it on.

Wed. 8/19/09 11:53am From: dei x

I haven't received my swag yet (...BRYCE...) and I was so hoping to sport a woofmoo at Frantasia this weekend (frantasiafestival.com)

Wed. 8/19/09 11:53am From: Ken

Carmichael - Thanks! Where the hell is she?! Denise - yes, send it back for a replacement. Send it to Joe M's attention. Address : WFMU PO Box 5101 Hoboken NJ 07030

Wed. 8/19/09 11:59am From: GP

ahhhh..Engrish

Wed. 8/19/09 12:00pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Thanks, Ken!

Wed. 8/19/09 12:01pm From: dei x

bye Ken!

Wed. 8/19/09 12:02pm From: wendy

I can't believe the show is over already! Dang.
