Good morning, cory, Sebastian! Nice to see you here. You missed last week show (i think)! Hello Ken from HP!

GM all, made it though the wind and rain, ready to work and listen.
  8:26am Listener Robert:

Come, look over this bit of real estate. Swim in it like a...human bird-monkey crab. As your face shrinks into nothingness in reaction, you'll see things that look like they don't go together, but the headlines are misleading, as even a dog could see. It's just a ballet of color distortion that only the slothful would monkey around in. All in all, a humanitarian nightmare. Do we have a sale?

-Ken, have you started to select these to see how I'll put them in words or context?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:42am Sebastian:

FoFo, yes, I missed last week, had to sit in a room with boring people - it really is much better to be here!

Thanks for another poetic triumph, Robert! I do NOT select these with you in mind, amazingly enough.

Ken, you deserve a break, but have you thought of the damage that will be done to the world not having your show on the air for 6 months? There is going to be a lot less entertainment in the world. The stock market will likely crash because of it. Just some things to consider.

Well, as you need the break, please enjoy it, and my wish is that it's enough that we can hear you here next June?

Do you have a good place to rant we can follow? …and how about a weekly historic Ken Show for us to listen-to and natter to each other about, maybe playing on another stream, maybe _not_ at 09:00 Eastern so as not to draw us away from Scott's show.

@WerbmasterHenry: Thanks for that link! But you know what stands out for me? The “Basic Hip” reference from back in the early aughts.

Speaking of hoes, does anyone remember the Corner Gas episode where the town erected a statue of a giant hoe so they could bill themselves as 'home of the biggest hoe' in an effort to beat out (spits) Wullerton?

thanks :)
Avatar 11:47am Jeff Moore:

Okay, that was kind of freaky.

I put down Ted the Dog's food bowl just before Ken potted up David Crosby Eating Pizza, and for awhile there I couldn't tell which glomping and smacking was which.

@fred: He was in Stuttgart for about 6 years (met him in nyc).
Avatar Ken's Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 11:48am steveo:

golly i could sure go for some delicious deep-dish pizza about now

@Jeff: It’s a hate crime to compare your dog to David Crosby.

I'm really gonna miss this show SM Ken.

"Super Saw" is pretty talented and featured in the All Musical Saw Book SCRATCH MY BACK.

Needle Exchange - 1990s on Astor Place, minding my own bee's wax and 2 dudes asked me where was the Needle Excahange??? 20 blocks away?? What do I lok like???
Last week, visiting my dying mother in hospice, leaving the place 55/2ndAve Bklyn, a woman asks me where "can I score????" What the fuck do I look like????

Just had someone cover my spot at work while i ran out, she asked if i aware of the really creepy music playing out of my computer
  11:50am Sam:

Don't play that saw too much, you're going to need it for Crosby's liposuction
Avatar 11:50am Linda Lee:

guess you don't look like a cop, Morphe.

@Asheville - I got Jan Terri to call my brother on his bday. I sure won that year
Avatar 11:50am jaysit:

Where does this David Crosby eating stuff come from? A Google search and a search of WFMU's artist archives doesn't show me anything
Avatar 11:50am Carmichael:

I just got up to get some tea, and missed all the Ken will be gone talk. WTF is happening? Who's taking your place, Kenneth?
  11:50am FҵFҵ (:

Ken,

You have to promise us, under oath, you are coming back to do your show...dead or alive but you#ll be coming back.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am maestroso:

Wow, go out of range for a few hours and what happens? Hope you have a good break Ken and return refreshed!
Avatar Ken's Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 11:51am AnAnonymousParty:

Ken is taking a break to build a second shed he can call himself "Ken, two sheds, Freedman".
  11:51am Sam:

I think Crosby butt dialed Ken by mistake while he was eating
  11:51am JakeGould:

@Morphe: 55th Street and 2nd Avenue in Brooklyn is the heart of Sunset Park’s dopeville. One time I was exploring the neighhorhood and just walking on 54th Street or so and every other person said to me “Good day, sir…” then I realized I was the only white guy there so they were testing me.

Jeesh was everyone doing H in alphabet city in the early 90s?

Start putting money aside now and you'll have a big lump available when it's time to soak Andy during the marathon.

Can we hear Larry one more time? "Hello, Ken. This is Larry."
Avatar 11:52am Jeff Moore:

That Jim Leonard is a fine saw player, but we should give Natalia Paruz's recordings some air time whenever possible – she's a friend of the station! She showed up for 7SD in think twice.

wasn't 20 blocks away. just about 8 or 9 blocks, iirc.
record purity counts at the time. something like 30%.

@carm: likewise am piecing it together.
I think I'll be sculpting my memorial to CUPCAKE DOG this evening..
  11:52am JakeGould:

@PlanetTyler: Nope. Lots of people were doing herin in Brighton Beach at the time. Neil Simon ain’t gonna talk about that “memoir” but “Requiem for a Dream” sheds light on that.

Oh my. Does this Cash song have a pedal steel solo?
  11:54am JakeGould:

Oh, and I found an empty bottle of Oxy last night on one of my late night constitutionals in Bay Ridge. Drugs be everywhere folks!
  11:55am Morphe:

What???? Ken is going on hiatus ??????
  11:55am FҵFҵ (:

Soak Andy?! Who wants to soack Andy? AHEM! I think you meant to say 'soak Ken'! Not that I'm angry at your departure, Ken! You know I love you!

*whispering* soak him hard and repeatedly, people!
Avatar 11:56am Linda Lee:

in the 90s you could actually take a shot & you weren't likely to kick off.
100 years' prohibition on narcotics as of 2014. talk about successful!

People!

I found why Ken's leaving! He is already telling us! Is on the playlist! Read the first letters of every song on the playlist! The message is encoded there!
