9:12am Okasa:

Yes

9:12am Snoochienucci:

♥ 9:13am EG_Astro:

♥ 9:14am Asheville Jon:

♥ 9:15am fred:

@Asheville Jon: Didn't they play at Monty Hall? That's outside New England

♥ 9:17am Asheville Jon:

9:18am Patrick:

a jolly good headbanger

♥ 9:21am pantz:

Looking good, Ken! Where'd you get crabs?

9:23am fleep:

And the animated image day begins

9:24am sphere:

Big Blood has 17 albums on the Free Music Archive, though. That's pretty good!

♥ 9:24am Stanley:

"Out Demons Out!" was graffiti'd all over my school back in the day.

9:25am Frank:

EBB! Sing Brother Sing!

♥ 9:25am John from NP:

Thanks @sphere, that's good to know.

♥ 9:25am EG_Astro:

Good morning GST!

♥ 9:26am John from NP:

@pantz- I think the question should be "Where DIDN'T you get crabs?"

9:26am yippie:

YEAh

♥ 9:27am Nick S.:

In the name of herpes!

9:27am yippie:

before levitating the pentagon Abbie Hoffman tried levitating the student center at Brandeis university

♥ 9:28am Webhamster Henry:

We should be levitating the Pentagon every day.

9:28am fleep:

And the demons left, and we've never had a problem since

9:29am Brendan:

Out demons out. Whew. Done....Honey Can you bring me another roll of Charmin?

♥ 9:29am Webhamster Henry:

It's a little like trying to get bedbugs out though.

9:29am Michael:

I sense a pattern here...

9:29am cory:

with the number of computers and radios playing Levitating The Pentagon should be a somewhat powerful spell

♥ 9:29am northguineahills:

Matt Mottelconce surrounded Vice HQ and tried to do a ceremony to levitate it.

♥ 9:31am zopa:

BAGPIPES!!!!!!

♥ 9:32am (Murakami Whywolf))):

A pentagon that big, you don't necessarily want the demon it's binding running loose. It might have no effect at all on the people working there….

9:33am cory:

VVVVVOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!!!

♥ 9:33am Sebastian:

♥ 9:35am Roberto:

voidod

♥ 9:35am Roberto:

lol voivod

♥ 9:36am Blacktooth:

VOIVOD DOING PINK FLOYD

♥ 9:37am pantz:

There's a distinct lack of Amon Amarth in this programme.

♥ 9:38am Ken From Hyde Park:

Haha! Holy crap, what's this?

♥ 9:38am ifeelfatnsassy:

I saw the Chili Pipers a couple weeks ago at Irish Fest here in Milwaukee. They didn't disappoint.

9:40am The Butterman:

Is it embarrassing or awesome that I know Voodoo Chile as a 2 Live Crew song before I knew about Hendrix?

9:40am FҗFҗ (:

Where's Vicki to remind us the name of the comedy show from the headliner GIF?

♥ 9:43am Blacktooth:

@The Butterman: same here. And MY DAD bought me the 2LC casette because I wasn't old enough. I still don't know if that's terrible or awesome....

♥ 9:43am northguineahills:

Control Machete, from Monterrey, Mexico!

9:44am FҗFҗ (:

For all the non-native Spanish speakers: Control Machete means Machete Control.

9:45am Soylent Mike:

This playing of Voivod's version of AD is a supernatural occurrence for me. It is one of the songs I have been going to recently when I need some juice. Then last night I was watching a couple of videos online about Syd Barrett and one about when Roger Waters spit on a fan in Montreal. Tingles I'm telling' ya.

9:45am The Butterman:

Blacktooth! My 7 bizzos! We are both victims of time.

♥ 9:46am Lixiviated Life:

Hi Kinny

♥ 9:46am Webhamster Henry:

Ed Sanders just turned 80.

9:47am ignatatus666:

This band reminds me of Puya!

9:47am Doug in JC:

My reception sucks today. I thought the transmitter went out, but no

9:47am David Colangelo:

Yo stache...how did you get so glib? You got the rap daddy...dug the Floyd track...

♥ 9:48am Blacktooth:

@The Butterman: haha! Indeed. To young to see so much weird stuff in the 80's, and then too old to try to explain it all to anyone now....

♥ 9:50am Nick S.:

Make sure you play this or watch it for Manson inspiration www.youtube.com...

9:51am ignatatus666:

The Butterman
Don’t be embarrassed. Many young people in Brazil were turned on to David Bowie by listening to Seu Jorges

9:51am thelma blitz:

The Fugs Out Demons Out was released in 1968 on Tenderness Junction, the Edgar Broughton track was released in 1971, so the Fugs came first, as usual. You can read about Ed's contact the the California occult in his awesome Manson bio, The Family.

9:53am weiterso:

hi, @fofo The Fast Show must have been similar to the german Musikladen. Silly fun and music.

♥ 9:54am -Ken:

Thanks Thelma - We'll be talking a bit about "The Family" by Ed Sanders next week. Absolutely amazing book.

9:55am FҗFҗ (:

Embarrasing is to find out that Mueran Humanos is the actual name of the band and NOT Mueran Hermanos. Especially embarrasing after listening to their Circle song about 100 times.

9:57am FҗFҗ (:

Thanks, weiterso! Now I know it is The Fast Show.

10:04am FҗFҗ (:

i don't remember anyone asking you to do an encore, mr Spiritualised.

♥ 10:04am pantz:

Arthur Weasley was in The Fast Show

10:05am The Butterman:

Great band name.

♥ 10:06am -Ken:

Thats what Mr. Spiritualized gets f0or having a false f'in ending. Silly Mr. Spiritualized..

10:06am The Butterman:

Almost as good as The Vaginors as played by Creamo Coyl

♥ 10:12am Ike:

That was a really interesting way to present that Spiritualized song. It made me rethink the song a little.

♥ 10:13am pantz:

Are you having sushi for lunch, Ken?

♥ 10:16am The Oscar:

Mornin'! Been meaning to read Chaos, but I'm probably even more excited for Legs McNeil's upcoming Manson oral history. What a time for Mansonology!

10:17am Mr. Felder:

Good Morning Ken...

10:22am Immune System Alert:

Potentially damaging foreign body detected at 10:17

♥ 10:23am AnAnonymousParty:

CRAZY!

10:24am Chi Bill:

(GRINNING EAR TO EAR) What a fun show! Red hot Chilli Pipers to Mark T Atomic Wombat, and who's this Dave Soldier?! Keep on rock'n Ken!

♥ 10:28am pantz:

Mr Felder, I love your work re: metal

♥ 10:30am zopa:

Mqavis. Ha ha ha ha. Sausage Fingers.

♥ 10:32am Strandlund:

WHAT A GREAT SHOW, KEN!!!

♥ 10:33am Jim Price:

Ken - i left my sponges in the main studio. Do you see them?

♥ 10:33am Asheville Jon:

i thought it was "SM Banana Fingers Ken"

10:34am b.b.:

let's go fly fishing

10:35am weiterso:

hi Ken, don't you have a welcome-song for Greta? She's arriving.

♥ 10:35am Asheville Jon:

"-Ken:

Mike, it's Station Manager Mister Banana Fingers. Please."

♥ 10:35am zopa:

hee hee hee. banana fingers.

♥ 10:35am zcsolo:

is this the same singer from camera obscura?

10:35am cuteCloud:

mmm sammiches

10:36am Malcolm:

sounds like camera obscura

♥ 10:36am Asheville Jon:

"Banana Fingers Ken" is a nickname given to SMK by Lord Garbage a few years ago.

10:37am cuteCloud:

yay munya!

♥ 10:37am pantz:

Bingo @zcsolo! Tracyanne Campbell from Camera Obscura

♥ 10:37am -Ken:

Yes, that's Tracyann, the singer from Camera Obscura

10:39am FҗFҗ (:

Are Jim Price's sponges in the studio or not? That's the question that should concern us all.

♥ 10:39am Passaic River Blues:

This Munya album is excellent. Not a single off track on the whole thing.

♥ 10:41am zopa:

sponge hoarder banana fingers

10:41am cuteCloud:

berf

♥ 10:41am AnAnonymousParty:

MMMM!

10:42am sphere:

@PRB what's the title of the Munya album?

♥ 10:42am zcsolo:

<3 that voice

♥ 10:42am coelacanth∅:

those sponges have to be there somewhere.

10:43am FҗFҗ (:

JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMM PRIIIIICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

10:43am Snoochienucci:

can i get one of those shirts?

10:43am Snoochienucci:

its acceptable to me

♥ 10:43am AnAnonymousParty:

HA!

♥ 10:44am Passaic River Blues:

@Sphere: I believe it's self-titled. There is also the "Blue Pine" EP, with three tracks off the full-length. "Blue Pine" is pretty dope on its own.

10:45am sphere:

@ PRB: Thanks!

♥ 10:45am coelacanth∅:

now there's the inevitable heavy demand. the show me your meat shirt becomes legendary.
...glad i got mine.

♥ 10:46am AnAnonymousParty:

What's wrong with "Show us you're meat"?

10:47am Mikeee:

If Ken cant show us his meat, perhaps a bulge instead?

10:47am Snoochienucci:

Joe Mcgasko is a great guy, if he designed it then it must be great

10:47am Snoochienucci:

besides i thought this was freeform?

♥ 10:48am zopa:

virtue signal all you want smk. i will not be satisfied until i receive the rock opera record!

10:48am sphere:

hey Ken - one drugs and pop music book for you:

www.amazon.com...

10:49am Peter from Dover NJ:

Cotton may rival opium for the invention of capitalism.

10:50am Fish Head:

Something seems a little fishy here today. https://giphy.com/gifs/year-getting-laESBDZWUubAc here's your outro gif Ken

10:51am Marc (the other painter):

Don't have a Show us your meat shirt, so I'll have to send you my Beatles first pressing Butcher Cover.

10:51am cuteCloud:

O-O

10:52am CoffeeBluez:

And demand for 100% cotton "Show Me Your Meat" shirts will help keep capitalism chugging along.

♥ 10:53am Passaic River Blues:

Historical Irony: 19th Century shitbag British and American capitalists import vast quantities of opium from India to China against the will of Chinese authorities. <--> 21st Century shitbag Chinese capitalists export vast quantities of fentanyl and opiate precursors to Western markets in the face of state opposition.

10:54am sphere:

@ PRB: I bet President Xi is quite concerned about all that fentanyl.

10:55am FҗFҗ (:

"Asi son mis dias. Casi siempre yo los hago, carnales, mi vida en la calle es flaca como alambre..."

"That's how my days are, Almost always I made them, bros..My life on the street is as skinny as a cable."

♥ 10:56am AnAnonymousParty:

NICE!

10:57am FҗFҗ (:

Could somebody help me pronounce this band?!?! I can't pronounce it in my native Spanish language as H is not pronounced. They are always silent!

♥ 10:58am coelacanth∅:

like this:

11:04am FҗFҗ (:

Thanks for nothing, literally, coelacanth∅.

♥ 11:05am pantz:

Every day I get up and pray to Jah, and he increases the amount of clocks by exactly one.

♥ 11:08am coelacanth∅:

maybe consider playing "no tears" every day at, say, 11 am?

11:08am sphere:

@ f0f0: try "aitch"

11:10am teod:

like eight but throwing a ch on the end

♥ 11:13am coelacanth∅:

(except if you wanted to get more "like" than (takin' a ride) you'd have to spell it correctly, and stick with it.)

♥ 11:13am βrian:

We should hear Devo's Ichthyoid. Seems like it would fit the playlist gifs.

♥ 11:14am AnAnonymousParty:

WONDERFUL!

11:14am Bill W:

this vocalist sounds like Al Pacino ten years from now

11:15am FҗFҗ (:

Thanks, sphere. Aitch should do.

11:17am FҗFҗ (:

The Madhouse song is great, nice,wonderful, superb, mmm. and even pow!!

♥ 11:17am coelacanth∅:

i want that guy's email address

11:20am fletchernyc:

Laughner!!

11:25am FҗFҗ (:

How come the bass line has a more prominent role than the guitar in the Baudelaire tune? Me no entender.

♥ 11:26am βrian:

Bass? Sounds fishy, no?

♥ 11:26am -Ken:

f0f0 that's a sign that the bass part is truly EXCELLENT

♥ 11:26am Ken From Hyde Park:

Nate K's show last night had Nick Blakey, producer of the Peter Laughner box set. www.wfmu.org...

♥ 11:29am Ken From Hyde Park:

Also, thanks for the roly poly fish heads today.

♥ 11:29am coelacanth∅:

i think i'd be ill after 3 verses

11:30am Laura L:

Don't sing along! You'll become ill and die.

11:32am rw:

I don't think I'd be ill for at least three years.

♥ 11:33am AnAnonymousParty:

SUPERB!

11:33am FҗFҗ (:

I agree, Ken. Great bass. But I am not sure what was greater. The bass player producing that Laughner's Baudeliere song or his bass line playing part.

11:33am fletchernyc:

Thanks for link Ken from HP! Will listen later

♥ 11:35am Rich in Washington:

I love Nutley Brass!

11:36am FҗFҗ (:

Oh, look, it's Felix Kubin, Ken! One of those privileged people you interview once every ten 10 years or so in your show.

♥ 11:37am βrian:

Tuba splat.

♥ 11:40am coelacanth∅:

i have a friend i was friends with in high school and at that time he'd obsess over songs, play them 5,10,15 times consecutively. the who, the police, Peter Tosh...
it was somewhat painful for me; but then he got the 45 of "wonderful christmas" by Paul McCartney.
i left his house by the 4th or 5th play.
(he laughs at himself now about it)

♥ 11:41am northguineahills:

I love the shark costumed guy from takeshi-jo paired w/ Tuxeedomoon.

11:43am editor_b:

Sounding great in both stereo channels!

♥ 11:45am βrian:

When I crank it to eleven, I have three stereo channels.

♥ 11:45am G:

@coelacanth∅: Paul started composing that tune from the inspirational thought "simply writing a horrible Christmas song"

11:46am Magnificent Frigatebird:

Hey B! Hello!

11:47am FҗFҗ (:

Oh, Ken, Tim, please play the Mormon song from last week and post the lyrics here!

♥ 11:47am Ike:

I could've sworn Nauvoo was the planet in Avatar, but nobody actually remembers much of anything from Avatar so I should be forgiven for that.

♥ 11:48am coelacanth∅:

haha G!

11:48am editor_b:

@Frigatebird: I knew I we'd run into each other here some day...

♥ 11:49am -Ken:

Mormons - Brigham Young University Students

I've never seen an 'R' movie in the flesh

I cut my teeth on conference talks

And Disney movies

And I'm not proud of my mistakes

But I know I'll grow

When I learn from them

And everybodys like piercings tattoos coffee in the morning

Short skirts curse words no missions or good works

We don't care

We're driving minivans everywhere

And every Mormons like

Pure heart white shirt clean music and media

Fun times no crime Chastity and lots of kids and we know

We're all children of God and so

We'll always be Mormons

Jammin at the stake dance

That kinda fun is just so clean

You other Mo's know what I mean

Let me listen to some mo-tab

And watch byu-tv, and baby I'll pray

My teacher brings treats Sunday

My friends and I don't smoke or drink

We even pray and study hard

On the daily

And everyone who knows us knows

We've been taught in our youth

Like Helaman's Army

And everybodys like piercings tattoos coffee in the morning

Short skirts curse words no missions or good works

We don't care

We're driving minivans everywhere

And every Mormons like

BYC, EFY, Mormon Tabernacle

YM, RM, good boy's always catch our eye

And we know

They're all children of God and so

We'll always be Mormons

We don't even drink tea

That worldly stuff just aint for us

We crave a heavenly kind of love

Let me show you my scriptures

They'll teach you about him

And baby I'll pray

That you'll come to church someday

Ohhhh

We're Christian's like we've always been

But if you're not we're still your friends

Ohhhh ohh ohh

That little golden angel guy

Goes by the name of Moroni

We'll always be Mormons

CTR is on my ring

Monday nights are FHE

And even clergy work for free

Let me take a trip to Nauvoo

Then we'll go to SLC

And baby be proud

If you're a Mormon sing it loud

11:50am FҗFҗ (:

Thanks, Ken! This is great!

♥ 11:50am Nick S.:

No not the MORMON song! It has been in my head since you played last. NOOOOOO!

11:51am Magnificent Frigatebird:

11:54am Colin in Durham, England:

All my faves today, with an equal amount of noise I couldn’t stand! Brilliant

♥ 11:55am Ken From Hyde Park:

Walktopus!

11:55am Brendan:

Is that a baby animal in the background?

♥ 11:55am pantz:

"Touch My Tuchus" should be the new WFMU t-shirt

11:56am FҗFҗ (:

♥ 11:57am G:

Bravo, Tim!

♥ 11:58am βrian:

No me toques la tuchus!

♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅:

Thanks Ken

11:59am FҗFҗ (:

That sounds like a cumbia song, Brian. No me toques el cucu.

11:59am yippie:

tuchus is yiddish and it comes from the Hebrew tachat which means under

♥ 11:59am -Ken:
