How To: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:27am -Ken:

Morning all!

7:52am Losermom:

Don't worry, we're here!

♥ 8:01am -Ken:

Hello Losermom!

8:05am Dan B From Upstate:

Good morning, Ken.

Congratulations on Audience Engine! It looks great!

It's not technically something I'd have a use for, but it looks like an invaluable piece of software for creative types. It's aesthetically pleasing, and it appears to be compiled really well. Best of luck!

♥ 8:07am -Ken:

Thank you Dan B! It has taken over my life. WFMU homepage will change radically in November.

♥ 8:10am AnAnonymousParty:

It's Wednesday, it's fall, I have a cold, I have to spend the day distilling requirements for SDB-II, and soon I'll be listening to Ken's show. What's next? GM, BTW.

♥ 8:20am -Ken:

And SDB-II is what exactly?

8:21am Listener Robert:

Ah, Ken, even I know that one. It's the successor to SDB-I.

♥ 8:31am AnAnonymousParty:

Small Diameter Bomb, block 2. We make a kit for the Marines that provides guidance cues. I get to review a huge shopping list of features everyone and their brother wants.

8:31am Jack:

A small diameter bomb?

♥ 8:32am -Ken:

You're a bombmaker?

♥ 8:32am AnAnonymousParty:

www.raytheon.com...

♥ 8:33am AnAnonymousParty:

No, we don't make the bomb, we just help make sure it gets delivered to the right spot.

♥ 8:38am -Ken:

Any requests or ideas for "How To" records?

♥ 8:39am Asheville Jon:

YAY! Heading to New Mexico today!

♥ 8:39am AnAnonymousParty:

Any of Bob & Ray's "Fred Falby, do-it-yourselfer" bits?

♥ 8:41am AnAnonymousParty:

Or are you looking for ideas for a "How To" record you are going to make yourself?

♥ 8:43am -Ken:

No, looking for pre-existing How To tracks

8:45am Dan B From Upstate:

Are there any "How to make an SDB-II" records?

8:46am OTB:

How to Speak Hip?

8:47am Listener Robert:

If you have access to old "Post Serial" bits (WCWP), there's one of someone tuning around the radio getting bits of several programs, including 1 or 2 cooking instructions. "I like my lasagna with plenty of [retune] raw fish & sake."

♥ 8:51am -Ken:

Of course! How to Speak Hip! How could I forget that?

8:52am Losermom:

Can I email some stuff? I have access to an awful lot of How To weirdness.

8:52am OTB:

It's a classic. Also, I heard Pope Francis will be listening in today and is a HUGE DVA fan....

♥ 8:54am Lizardner Dave:

Glad you're here today Ken! Is Andy off atoning for Who Tooted someplace?

♥ 8:55am AnAnonymousParty:

The creepy Eric Weber 'how to pick-up girls' bits?

♥ 8:58am Marcel M:

Morning Ken and friends

♥ 9:00am AnAnonymousParty:

And yeah that Trump gif is great I just sent it to a bunch of people haaaaa!

9:06am P-90:

Aloha Ken and Kenthusiasts.

♥ 9:08am Marcel M:

A spiritual feeling without religion, but a sexy feeling with sex... I'm in!

9:08am OTB:

And Happy Autumnal Equinox, everybody!

♥ 9:08am Ken From Hyde Park:

9:08am bobdoesthings:

good morning!

9:08am SheWolf:

This is highly persuasive.

9:09am cory:

is this trump's speech writer?

9:09am bobdoesthings:

now .. when he says a bad chick.. what are we saying here.?

♥ 9:10am Webhamster Henry:

"How to speak hip" has been done to death, maybe you can run it over with Traktor.

9:12am adrian in mpls:

ahhh - the chicken

♥ 9:13am Webhamster Henry:

This is especially juicy through headphones!

♥ 9:14am Andrew Waterloo:

I could either go for KFC right now or never eat poultry again.

♥ 9:14am Marcel M:

Oh noooo! Not Fabio!!!!

♥ 9:15am AnAnonymousParty:

Is Fabio using a TRS-80?

♥ 9:16am Roberto:

I'll count listening to Fabio as enough atonement for this year.

9:16am Pip von Birmingham:

Good morning Ken! Good morning WFMU-land! he smelltrack today is a bubbling vat of Damson Cheese.

♥ 9:19am Ken From Hyde Park:

9:22am bobdoesthings:

♥ 9:23am AnAnonymousParty:

Dig, know wut ahm sayin'?

9:23am Dan B From Upstate:

"Hey man. Get on the horn and call some freaky people and we'll make a scene."

Did people really talk like this?

♥ 9:23am egal:

Dig yourself, baby.

9:24am cory:

this track is da bomb (that doesn't kill innocents)

9:24am Neg-guh-tor:

It's weird, man!

♥ 9:25am egal:

It's solid, man.

9:25am Sam:

Dan B, a small subset of the population did talk like that, and then a lot more emulated them I think, because it was so, so damn cool.

♥ 9:26am egal:

Jazz musicians and beatniks.

9:27am Okasa:

How to rid the world of all known diseases: "Well, first of all become a doctor and discover a marvelous cure for something, and then, when the medical profession really starts to take notice of you, you can jolly well tell them what to do and make sure they get everything right so there'll never be any diseases ever again."

♥ 9:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

RIP Yogi Berra (age 90). Modern politicians talk kind of like him.

♥ 9:27am Roberto:

Titan Release?

9:27am Brendan:

Helpful for pinching a loaf

9:30am Chris M.:

doing radio sounds like a nightmare

♥ 9:30am Marcel M:

All about the internet!

9:31am Michael:

hope Ken has his copy of Radio Alphabet handy

♥ 9:31am Dominick:

shoot me now

♥ 9:32am Webhamster Henry:

or you can use the Andymatic Zingatron!

9:32am Brendan:

She's wrong. All wrong. Do that on FMU and Ken 'll gouge your eye out with a soldering iron.

9:32am bobdoesthings:

oh boy.. im switching stations. hah!

♥ 9:33am Webhamster Henry:

Somewhere I have the DX7 instruction tapes "The DX7 Zone".

9:34am cory:

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

9:34am joe:

someone needs to show FMU djs where the fart button is.

9:35am Michael:

Doesn't appear to have worked.

♥ 9:35am Marcel M:

The fart button is in the studio inside the "Who Tooted?" box

♥ 9:36am Marcel M:

Dropping a load the old fashioned way?! Oh geez

9:36am Brendan:

Does the pope know that the library of congress has porn?

9:37am Neg-guh-tor:

Always a cowboy.....

♥ 9:37am Vivian:

Annndddd we lower the volume of our speakers in the office...

9:37am Pip Von Birmingham:

Can't you say 'erect penis' on US radio? That's a shame.

9:37am Brendan:

Cut ! Cut! I want another take of that!

9:37am Sam:

Couldn't she AT LEAST read it with a sexy voice??

9:40am sphere:

hello people

♥ 9:40am Parq:

Sam, she pronounced "double-u" as "dibbleyew" and index as "indax". Isn't that sexy enough for you?

9:40am ?:

I liked the dry, emotionless way she read the phrase "nut shot".

♥ 9:41am Marcel M:

Yeah it sounded like she was reading horse racing results or something

♥ 9:44am Webhamster Henry:

For more instructions, Steinski ran through a number of them on his latest show, The Knowledge, back in July: wfmu.org...

♥ 9:44am Asheville Jon:

Ken, could you play the 'anyone who knows what love is will understand' from black mirror?

9:45am OTB:

Outstanding monologue.

9:46am P-90:

This guy (Ned Beatty) sounds a little like an inflamed Fred Flintstone here

9:47am Losermom:

I always agree with Bernie, it seems!!!

♥ 9:49am Marcel M:

Bernie and his wiz brought Fugazi to Burlington

9:50am Cecile:

Tripod Jimmie!!!

9:51am Tom:

Fugazi Fugazi. Fugazi!!! How about Government Issue "You" LP now?!!!!!

♥ 9:51am Ken From Hyde Park:

In a Futurama episode, Hermes flipped the "Sorry, we're closed" sign and it said "Sorry, we're open" on the other side.

9:52am P-90:

Bernie could win. No shit.

9:52am Cecile:

What Tom said. Or play their Hall of Fame

9:53am sphere:

How about "I'm Sorry" by B.B. King?

9:53am Losermom:

P-90 I hope you vote.

♥ 9:53am HarktheUmpire:

Yay! I'm gonna see these folks play later today.

9:54am Tom:

No. "Hole In The Scene" or "Where You Live" or "Melancholy Miss"!!!!!!

♥ 9:54am Marcel M:

Hey Ken, did you and Andy leave Irwin and (his wife I'm assuming?) inside the movie theater when you bailed?

♥ 9:55am -Ken:

No Marcel, they were hiding out at Taco Bell the whole time.

9:56am Dan B From Upstate:

Hey Ken. Have you found out how to pronounce Chhom Nimol's name yet? I'd like to know.

♥ 9:59am Marcel M:

@Ken: Ah! They didn't even go in. That makes much more sense. Thanks for the closure!

10:06am Sam:

Ich liebe Puffy!!

10:06am Okasa:

ii kanjii!

10:07am Neg-guh-tor:

Puffy!

10:12am Brendan:

White dopes on punk!

♥ 10:12am Roberto:

Premiere transgression du jour: coffee mit soymilch.

10:12am Lewis:

@Ken - for some reason I think that the bed should be the ASU sunddevils… is it them or is this Stanford? thanks

10:14am Dan B From Upstate:

Thanks, Ken.

♥ 10:14am AnAnonymousParty:

Or is it Marching Band music directors on dope?

10:14am Lewis:

Oh wait - there it is - Stanford, sorry for the interruption...

♥ 10:15am pocket vito:

Don't tell the Pope about the sock hop, because he'll totally crash that.

10:15am bobdoesthings:

what's the static electricity like at a sock hop.. you guys bring balloons to stick to the walls n stuff?

10:16am Brendan:

Rom say sok hop!

♥ 10:16am Roberto:

White dunks on pope?

10:16am Okasa:

That could have been me, Ken.

10:16am Listener Robert:

Ken, that's what Leland Stanford is.

10:17am Lewis:

Actually Stanford is quite private, not too many tax dollars, lots of Daddy dollars though (appropriate acknowledgements of my stereotyping here)

10:19am ASM1582:

Not taxpayer money - Stanford is private. Only lots of parents money being spent on band

10:21am Mark S:

Lots of robber baron railroad tycoon money too

10:22am Mark S:

and now robber baron silicon valley money

10:23am Okasa:

The University is named Leland Stanford Junior University. Robber barron Leland Stanford Sr. established the university in memory of his son, who died of Typhoid just before his 16th birthday.

♥ 10:23am -Ken:

I prefer to believe that California taxpayers are funding marching band versions of The Tubes, thank you very much.

10:25am bobdoesthings:

but ken did you hear the 3-4 people mention it's private.. how do you trick yourself into believing a lie?!

10:25am Lewis:

@Ken - so be it, perhaps I am mistaken!

10:25am Okasa:

Makes one think that it's better to be poor today than super rich 100 years ago.

10:25am Brendan:

White hunks on popes

♥ 10:26am -Ken:

it's easy Bob, I just stare at the Trump GIF.

10:27am Brendan:

The trick is not believing the lie, but selling the voters on the lie

10:28am Mark S:

voters are quite willing to believe the lie

10:28am Brendan:

@ken - that was my gut response too

10:29am bobdoesthings:

Ah! Trump is an inspiration to us all in that one tiny way..

♥ 10:29am Marcel M:

Voters want the lie! They get very mad if you start speaking truths.

10:30am BrianFromMA:

Repeat any lie often enough and it becomes the truth, doesn't it? Great show today BTW

10:33am Mark S:

very true Marcel

♥ 10:35am Marcel M:

I'm sure everyone knows of the China, or rather, SHYNA clip of Trump? Don't interrupt Ken's show, of course, but for later: www.youtube.com...

Although it might sound cool layered on top of the music.... SHYNA!

10:36am bobdoesthings:

like bill burr's comedy bit on over population... no one wants to hear a politician get to the podium and go "alright.... 80% of you GOTTA GO! if you forgot your pencil... you're ALREADY OUTT!!"

10:37am cory:

this Bahia Black is awesome!

10:38am Brendan:

Awesome groove Ken

♥ 10:39am pocket vito:

I really hope Trump will choose Putin as his running mate.

10:40am cory:

i really hope trump wins

♥ 10:40am pocket vito:

I believe "Putin" is "Trump" spelled backwards.
That sounds like something Andy would say.

10:44am Brendan:

Enya ish

♥ 10:45am Webhamster Henry:

The set is long, but could use some Moondog too!

10:45am Brendan:

Moonshine! Moonshine!

10:48am Brendan:

This is calming . Excellent choice Ken. The natives were getting restless with the political discourse . Notice how they sleep ever so snug with happy smiles

10:49am Chris O:

Wunderbar!

♥ 10:52am Marcel M:

Woah woah woah... dat riff

♥ 10:53am Marcel M:

Ozzy should have sang for Zep as well...

10:54am Pip Von Birmingham:

Birmingham salutes you sir!

♥ 10:54am Stevel:

This is my favorite mashup of all time, for now at least.

10:55am Brendan:

Love the W version of this . Popes on a mission from god hes got a whole lotta love.

♥ 10:56am common:

what did i miss?

10:58am sphere:

the entire world was turned into anti-matter. :)

10:58am bobdoesthings:

porque porque porque!

♥ 10:59am AnAnonymousParty:

Actually, I think the track you called out as 'Iron Man' was actually the song "Black Sabbath' from the album Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath (title track, #1).

♥ 11:00am egal:

Radio show from inside the stuck elevator.

♥ 11:00am Marcel M:

As long as they can hear the broadcast from the elevator they are fine.

♥ 11:00am Webhamster Henry:

Stuck in an elevator is a tired old Acting Improv exercise.

11:01am Pip Von Birmingham:

Thanks Ken! My lame Ozzy claim to fame- I look after pregnant women in the shadow of Winston Green Prison. L-A-M-E

11:01am flossysozborn:

Tony Renis-QUANDO QUANDO QUANDO(1962)???

11:04am steve:

♥ 11:05am egal:

11:05am bobdoesthings:

nunca nunca nunca!

11:06am bobdoesthings:

@steve/ken - I think they're due for a trainwreck then, no?

♥ 11:08am -Ken:

Yes, live SSD in the studio tonight, with a lie detector!

♥ 11:08am Webhamster Henry:

Sammy had to be him!

11:08am Lewis:

I gotta love the arranging in this stuff. Imagine being one of the strings players...

11:08am steve:

yay

♥ 11:09am Webhamster Henry:

Got a good bombastic version of "More" (Theme from Mondo Cane)?

11:11am Lewis:

you are an evil DJ

♥ 11:11am common:

knuckles!

11:12am temporary from work:

How come you love the Killdozer but not the Alice Donut?

♥ 11:12am Ken From Hyde Park:

Salutes to Knuckles!

11:12am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Still love the live version of this on video.

11:12am r i s k y:

By far the best dog

♥ 11:13am AnAnonymousParty:

That's probably not Bobcat Goldthwait singing, huh?

11:14am Ralphine:

Have you mentioned that a federal judge invalidated the copyright to Happy Birthday to You yesterday? I just read about it.

11:14am steve:

bob - there's many colors in the trainwreck rainbow.

11:15am steve:

this song makes me cry

11:22am bobdoesthings:

@steve - well put. i concur.

♥ 11:23am rsj:

i love it when you play all the hits!

11:23am Lewis:

one of my favorite ear worms!

11:24am cory:

weird, could have sworn i'd already starred many of these

11:29am Lewis:

who does the radio edit?

♥ 11:31am MD:

Sounds like a good sandwich!!!

♥ 11:32am MD:

I want mine on Whole wheat!

11:32am Hot Mess:

I hate it when Satan drinks out of the milk container.

11:33am bobdoesthings:

drugs!! x3

♥ 11:33am MD:

It's worse when the Pope drinks out of the Container! Or when he Bogarts!

11:34am temporary from work:

I wanna be like Tonetta when I grow up, Tony rules.

11:34am oks:

Tonetta is so sexy!

♥ 11:34am Kat in Chicago:

Drugsx3 is a lovely thing to listen to way too loud in the headphones at work.

♥ 11:34am AnAnonymousParty:

These are a few of her favorite things?

11:35am Romeyn Broadhead:

bunny rabbits, satan, Cheese And Milk well at least she has her priorities in order

11:38am Ruskin Tomita:

I wonder if Yann is Isao's offspring?

11:39am Billy Joel:

What a great selection of songs so far, Ken!Immortal TEchnique!! Lat night I recommend that song to the daugther of the guy that taught Bob Marley to play the guitar!!

11:44am romeyn broadhead:

the robot show should be first up to be rebroadcast! the second is the show from 2009 where ken was very drunk

♥ 11:45am Rev. Turnip Druid:

I think the pope is still about 2 blocks from this desk. Any message for the dude before he heads uptown for a halfsmoke?

♥ 11:51am egal:

Reverend: Ask the pope why the bible stops.

11:51am rw:

Miho Tsujibayashi - "Paranoia" (from the inter-web. Not something I knew off-hand)

♥ 11:52am Rev. Turnip Druid:

@egal: I've discussed this before with Frankie. I've recommended firing one into space, where due to the laws of physics, it will never stop.

11:53am Brendan:

Great tune Ken. I love it when you play it! Great show. Thanks

♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry:

Reminds me a little of Da HipHop Raskalz.

♥ 11:56am egal:
