9:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi....Happy SOPA Day!

9:02am trolly mctrollerson:

okay! let's smoke some pot!

9:03am fred von helsing:

I brought a jello mold

9:03am bbell:

Ahhh . . . I've just eaten breakfast and this music inspires me to do a headstand! Can't go in that direction right now!

9:03am Neg-guh-tor:

Good morning Ken! AT

9:04am Neg-guh-tor:

Ack!

9:04am Neg-guh-tor:

Ack!

♥ 9:05am Ken:

Morning all! I'm playing all Hippie Noise today to protest SOPA! Get me your hippie noise requests NOW!

9:07am Ken From Hyde Park:

The usual Wikipedia site is off, but the mobile site is still up - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/

9:08am Joe D.:

The Fugs "Couldn't Get High"

Anything by Gong

Eric Chase's electro-house remix of "The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby (extended version)

9:09am Detroit Mac:

YES! Hippie Noise! (the 1st B&W image - the zebra head - was used by Gary Grimshaw for the 1st Poster advertising for the Grande Ballroom.)

9:11am glenn:

aoxomoxoa.

9:11am Jack:

Hippy Noise?
Anything live by the Grateful Dead, a two hour jam with a 45 minute guitar solo by Jerry. With a drum solo!

9:11am The_GB_Kid:

Morning Ken, morning everyone @ Hyde Park, morning everyone @ everywhere else

9:12am Otis:

High Tide "Futilist's Lament" and maybe "Uncle Sam's on Mars" by Hawkwind?

9:13am Detroit Mac:

Request ? Black to Comm by the MC5. Any crap by Blue Cheer. Bubble Puppy? Ultimate Spinach? Vanilla Fudge In the Garden of Edam? (I could go on)

9:14am seang:

Killer tune

9:14am BSI:

what's this you say? Hippie noise? It's better 'n vitamins! For starters there's Red Crayola's HURRICANE FIGHTER PLANE or Hapshash & the Coloured Coat's H-O-P-P-WHY. ... After that, it can get much uglier.

9:15am jen v.:

Eisbären müssen nie weinen, ken!!

9:18am Neg-guh-tor:

Save me from the red neck macho dudes. Punk rock city sounds shitty.

9:19am BSI:

a perfect one after NYGong might be "Raj Neesh" from Inner City Unit. ... either way, this promises to be an brilliant show...

9:21am fred von helsing:

Brant Bjork

9:23am Brian in UK:

Senjassens this way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpjM7xc7SXw

9:23am bb:

can's "turtles have short legs", anything by Xhol Caravan

9:24am aaron in Jcity:

morning ken!

9:27am bb:

roy harpers "folkjokeopus" or some whining number from ed askew's "ask the unicorn"?

9:28am Detroit Mac:

How about the live version of Toad by the Cream?unlistenable crap it is.

9:30am Bad Ronald:

Howzabout Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick"?

9:30am bb:

ooh, ken, bruce haak's "electric lucifer"

9:31am λɯəɹəɾ:

A link to a google archived Boing Boing page (archived because the site is offline today) I found to be very informative about why there are so many challenges about regulating the online world -- http://tiny.cc/vfpx6

9:32am Vivian:

Hippie Noise? What about Mountain Jam by Allman Brothers?

9:34am dc pat:

Prince Rama? all day? Can't get anymore hippie than that...

♥ 9:34am Ken:

I like the cut of your jib, Vivian.

♥ 9:34am Ken:

Yes!! Prince Rama!

9:35am earwax:

hippie crap http://www.myspace.com/maukkatherokstar/music/songs/hippie-crap-58356506

9:36am AnAnonymousParty:

The girl flying her hang glider into a tree doesn't captain a cruise ship. does she?

9:36am Otis:

Where's the cutoff date, Ken? Proto-Hippies like Nervous Norvus with "Kibble Kobble Flying Saucer" or "Disc Dance Of The Globbots" by Joe Meek from I Hear a New World!

9:38am EvdWee:

if you want to avoid the wikipedia black page, load the site through Google Translate and select 'original'. :)
But still a good initiative.

Play the noise-crap the whole day, I'm ready for it!

9:38am Dan B From Upstate:

So... Kenny G programs the station for 24 hours?

♥ 9:38am Ken:

Otis, I refer you to the wikipedia page on "Hippie Noise."

9:38am Nathan:

"Witchi Tai To" by Harper's Bizarre (more gibberish than noise), "Da Da Da" By Trio... Obviously anything Zander / Zeuhl related would fall into this category...

9:39am dc pat:

BORIS BECKER! Funny...

9:39am BSI:

.....not unlike an Alexei Sayle seizure, this. Wonderful.

9:40am fred von helsing:

MacArthur Park is unlistenable crap but is it unlistenable hippie crap

9:40am Vivian:

Ken, play the entire 'At Fillmore East'!

9:41am Bad Ronald:

I was hoping you would post the whole "Sex Doesn't Happen by Accident" bit!

9:42am Otis:

Thanks Ken, with my black light goggles I see both Nervous Norvus and Joe Meek listed.

9:42am Jack:

@Vivian; Hey, I was at that show, I was the drunk guy yelling for the Allmans to get off the stage and bring on Johnny Winter (who sucked)

9:43am anne:

happy wednesday morning, Ken and everybody!

9:44am dc pat:

I fear something terrible is going to happen to Hang Glider Girl with Jiggly Chest...

9:44am still b/p:

The lower 2/3 of the hang-glider's body seem absent while she's in flight, but now from the tree legs dangle.

9:47am AnAnonymousParty:

After being mesmerized by jiggly hang glider girl I think I just came up with an idea for a new air turbulence indicator.

9:47am Otis:

Hi anne! Great show today!

9:47am Ken From Hyde Park:

How about something from The Peppermint Trolley Company?

9:48am bw:

dc pat, I too fear what will happen next!

9:50am fred von helsing:

Inflatable Boy Clams !

9:51am BOC:

She'll have to jump out of the tree before anything can happen, but Don't Fear the Leaper.

9:53am holland oats:

i'm listening ken but under protest! #sopa #hippienoise

9:56am holland oats:

@kimfowley if only speed DID kill

9:57am trolly mctrollerson:

f bomb!

9:57am Nathan:

Could I have the Kingdom of Heaven meal deal please?

9:58am Chinchilla:

Ken you're making my morning right now. So happy to come into work to see you protesting in SOLIDarity! FREE YO MIND

9:58am Bad Ronald:

Could ya play "Chicken in Black"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_uM87NTFW4

Just cuz...

9:59am holland oats:

let's rename today Eddie Hazel Day mmkay?

10:00am yayson:

some hot tuna perhaps, or brewer and shipley

♥ 10:01am Ken:

Running dangerously low on good Hippie Noise! More requests please!!

10:02am Bad Ronald:

"Life with the Lions"

10:03am Nathan:

Roy Harper - McGoohan's Blues? More of a hippie rambling.

10:03am bb:

ha! that peter wahlbeck number made me think of that kim fowley track precisely. you jumped to it before i could suggest it, ken

10:03am Dave B:

Good morning! how about Black Mountain "Druganaut - Extended Remix"

10:04am Luke:

Wikipedia is dark (if you have javascript on) so I can't play the random Jesus game! Cheer me up Ken.

10:05am Ken From Hyde Park:

How about GWAR? Plenty of noise, but maybe not so much hippie.

10:05am bb:

Zweistein "TRIP.FLIP OUT.MEDITATION"...mid period faust?

10:08am Jack:

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida....LIVE! the extended drum solo remix

10:09am BSI:

doing my sacred duty here......
Hawkwind: Orgone Accumulator (from the space ritual 2xLP)
Guru Guru: Bo Diddley (from the Hinten lp)
Pretty Things (anything from SF Sorrow or Parachute)
13th Floor Elevators (anything from Easter Everywhere)

10:09am earwax:

Is urinating on a corpse worse than making the person a corpse in the first place?

10:10am Cheri Pi:

Play some Hawkwind.

10:10am earwax:

Yes In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida worst hippie noise ever.

10:11am bb:

is there a copy of the cosmic michael record in the library...that truly awful hippie noise

10:11am Good Hippy Noise:

Why not some Hendrix?

10:11am Cecile:

Good morning Ken, all!

Can you play "Tranny Chaser" by RuPaul?

10:11am glenn:

i wonder how many of those old whalers were named bob marley?

10:12am Better Hippie Noise:

13th Floor Elevators.

10:12am Detroit Mac:

Mountain's - Nantucket Sleigh Ride.

10:13am Better Hippie Noise:

you already play 24 hours of unlistanable hippie noise already. I just thought you were saying "business as usual"

I want tranny noise instead of hippie noise.

10:14am giselle:

I actually love the hippy noise..demented..yeah

10:15am seang:

this dude is alive

10:15am Cecile:

If you want tranny noise, I also recommend "Princess" by Raja, but it's pretty NSFW.
It's a whole new subgenre - dance records by RuPaul Drag Race winners....

10:15am earwax:

My wonderful NY senators sent me a form letters telling me that they were supporting PIPA to protect my job. I think it was a typo. It should have said they were doing it to protect their jobs.

10:16am Dave B:

I suggest all twin girls born today be named Pipa and Sopa.

10:16am BSI:

that's the stuff.

10:17am Luke:

Ken, can we get some Tracky Birthday?

10:18am dc pat:

my fears have been realized...

10:18am JMD:

Whatever it is, it's just gotta have some electric jug in it!

10:19am Cecile:

Tranny hippy music:
Silver (la-may) Machine

10:21am Brian C.:

For hippy noise, maybe "Bad Bad World" by Ravers Going Underground. I remembered it as a cool thrift shop find from college, but the internet informed me that it was in fact obscure German psychsploitation or something.

10:22am Vivian:

Still taking Hippy Music requests? anything by Silver Apples.

10:22am Cecile:

Tranny hippie music
White Rabbit Stole

10:25am Danne D:

Hi Cecile and greetings folks. Nice to listen to Ken on the internet since it means I'm not running late for work and listening on the radio.

Thanks for your usual great show, Ken - it's chronically underrated.

10:25am Ken From Hyde Park:

Silver Apples appeared right on cue.

10:25am Hugo:

10 år bakåt & 100 år framåt

10:26am Otis:

Most underrated Silver Apples song. Thanks Ken.

10:29am Caryn:

Is Spinal Tap's "Listen to the Flower People" hippie noise? It certainly aims to be.

10:30am david from ks.:

,,,,,that what you get from making heroin and using idiots to gaurd the product,,,,,,,,,,,,,,f##king hangem high,,,just because your f##kin american zero doesnt mean u can kill who ever u want ,,,start with dickhead cheney first,then then mf rumsfeld ,and save george 1 and 2 so they can watch it all before the noose is put around their sorry necks,,then piss on their corpses cause they if anyone deserves its those murdreing clowns,,,,yes yes and f##k yes watt the r we doin their in afganistan besides makin dope? absolutely nothing!!!!

10:31am yayson:

how bout some trad gras och stenar? i like Sanningens Silverflod off of DJungelns Lag

10:36am Caryn:

Nice for the gifs to tell a story today. Considering the PSA nature of the story, I expect to see a "The more you know" gif following soon.

10:37am dc pat:

yay.

10:39am Cheri Pi:

Yayson-I just picked up that Trad Gras Och Stenar reissue! I'm pretty pleased w/myself.

10:39am tongues too short to felch with god:

Country Joe at Monterey Pop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt2W3mgekRo

♥ 10:41am Ken:

Tongues Too Short - Spaces in your name por favor.

10:42am Cheri Pi:

OOIOO!

10:43am grubbus:

ken where can i get the "sex is no accident-always wear a condom" picture/video up on your playlist?

10:43am Caryn:

Too bad the most appropriate Country Joe stuff would go against FCC regulations...

10:44am PSA:

@Grubbus - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sex+is+no+accident+mtv&oq=sex+is+no+accident+mtv&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=9024l11578l0l11788l5l5l1l3l4l0l94l94l1l1l0

♥ 10:45am Ken:

Grubbus - It's to your left and up.

10:45am dc pat:

Rama followed by OOIOO, nice. I didn't know Yoshimi was a fuckin hippie...

10:45am Dave B:

@grubbus - click to enlarge that gif. right click and save the file...

10:48am grubbus:

thanks ken-the kids are gonna luv this!

10:48am yayson:

10:50am Caryn:

Just read a news story about a woman who was caught trying to steal stuff from a gas station by hiding it under her skirt. What makes it interesting is the amount of stuff she managed to get under there: 4 1-gallon canisters of motor oil, 14 2-pound coffee packets, 8 bags of meatballs, several packets of beef filet strips, some sauna products and candy. No wonder they caught her. How the hell do you move with that stuff under your skirt?!?

10:51am Caryn:

While lambs are known for their silence, dead goats are apparently loud.

10:52am grubbus:

thank you yayson!

10:52am rst-wiley:

Big skirt and a motorized scooter?

10:52am Caryn:

h in front of the k, Ken. It's Keuhkot.

10:52am Carnegie Hall Gift Shop:

Practice....practice.

10:53am Vivian:

@ Caryn- where is the gas station located?

10:54am PSA:

@Caryn - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkb4GgPeCxc&feature=player_embedded#!

10:54am Caryn:

@Vivian: In eastern Finland, in Kuopio.

10:54am yayson:

dont thank me, thank google image search!

10:57am Detroit Mac:

Was any of this shit played by hippies in 1968? No. We were to busy writing Healter Skelter in blood on walls. (play some of Charlie's music - or else)

10:58am Cecile:

All the hippies in the Upper Peninsula were listening to Santana and the Temptations as far as I could gather.

11:00am Detroit Mac:

In the lower mitten you heard a lot of Jeff Beck - Savoy Brown - and Johnny Winter.

11:00am Cecile:

I was like, seven at that time.
I leaned more toward the South Pacific soundtrack myself.

11:00am andymorphic:

how about some polpo vuh....that is what my hippi ideals are made of

11:01am Caryn:

@PSA: thanks for that! Still, that was way easier: only one big package. How do you keep 4 gallon canisters in order under your skirt while moving? Unless she had Oompa Loompas under there carrying the stuff for her...

11:03am Caryn:

Agree with Cecile. I think some Santana, Arlo Guthrie, the Grateful Dead, Peter Paul & Mary etc. might be more "original hippie" noise.

11:03am Hugo:

The ultimate hippie noise thang:

http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/review/1610

Do have it ...

11:04am Cecile:

she probably had a reinforced garment under her skirt.

11:06am PSA:

Oompa Loompas don't get under your skirt by accident.

11:08am Oompa Loompa:

It's happened.

11:09am Cecile:

Christina Ricci says that she got messed up because her parents had a primal scream psychology practice in their house and she kept hearing screaming.

11:09am rabid:

FUGS

11:09am Caryn:

I wonder what Obama tried to find on wikipedia to make him back down? Must have been something important...
@PSA: I know! It's sad to find out that Willy Wonka has been reduced to this after retiring and leaving the factory to Charlie: shoplifting in drag. Should've saved some factory stock to himself for a rainy day. Damn economy! See what you've done to a previously mighty candy manufacturer!

11:09am λɯəɹəɾ:

Elvis is Everywhere!

11:10am glenn:

is that jayne mansfield's disembodied head?

11:10am Cecile:

turn on the dragulator. I want to hear RuPaul.

11:10am Michele:

Aphrodite's Child

11:13am Rasmus:

Hey it did happen! the gross blood stain on the sheet, when michael fassbender (jung) finally has sex with Keira... - in my opinion that was a true (but subtle) cronenberg signature

♥ 11:15am Ken:

Not disgusting enough Rasmus! It was blood on cloth - that aint Cronenberg!!

11:16am JT:

GURU GURU - STONE IN

and there is a comedian in maine named bob marley. don't play him.

11:17am BSI:

Cronenberg set a pretty high standard with that final "reveal" scene in DEAD RINGERS.

11:18am Carmichael:

Frijid Pink, Ken, man.

11:19am Caryn:

Now I wonder if the disembodied head isn't Ken's homage to Cronenberg's "Crash"... Vaughan did have that obsession with celebrity car crashes, including the Mansfield one.

11:20am Cecile:

I saw Scanners. It was about all the Cronenberg I could handle.

11:20am andymorphic:

videodrome!

11:20am Martini:

Hotel!

♥ 11:21am Ken:

Cecile - He aint like that no more.. :(

11:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

Does Björk have any hippie noise music content?

11:22am Caryn:

So, Ken, are you going to supplement your hippie noises with some Howard Shore Cronenberg soundtrack pick?

11:23am Rasmus:

that was not cloth! the soiled sheet was woven of female hysteria and European puritanism...

11:23am Cecile:

see Ken, it was a good story, and just exploding heads. No creepy closeups.

I guess we all have to grow up, and being NC-17 in this country does not pay the bills

11:24am Carmichael:

If so, why not play some hippie dialogue from Wild in the Streets?

11:25am Caryn:

Or the aria from Madame Butterfly? That would kinda fulfil the requests for drag noise too, considering we can just think about Jeremy Irons in drag.

11:26am Luke:

This song is putting me to sleep. How can I fight SOPA if I'm asleep?

11:27am JT:

homozexualz!

11:27am glenn:

or you could watch the borgias, which has jeremy irons more or less in drag

11:29am Caryn:

@Glenn: true, but I doubt Ken can quickly rustle up some music from "The Borgias"

11:30am Caryn:

Or that we'd want to hear it.

11:30am Carmichael:

Or Missouri Breaks, which has Brando in drag.

11:31am Caryn:

Or Tango & Cash, which has Kurt Russell in drag.

11:32am Detroit Mac:

How about the Frut - Famous for passing around at their gigs, jugs of Boones Farm spiked with whatever hallucinations they could get. They did Native American Drag.

11:32am Carmichael:

Or that Thanks Wong Foo movie, which has everyone in drag.

11:33am Cecile:

Or Priscilla Queen of the Desert, which has Elrond, General Zod and Memento dude in drag.

11:33am Marilyn:

Some Like it Hot

11:34am Caryn:

As if Elrond wasn't kinda in drag as Elrond...

♥ 11:34am Ken:

I like The Borgias. the few episodes I've seen. Lately been burning through Breakinf Bad. I relate to Walter. Except I dont cook meth.

11:34am Marmalade Kitty:

Absolutely splendid!

11:34am Carmichael:

I relate more to Mike.

11:35am Cecile:

caryn, you can substitute Red Skull or Agent Smith if you like.

I want to start watching Justified. I love Wallace Goggins from the Shield. It looks good.

11:36am glenn:

breaking bad is dynamite. walter is a very lovable psychopath.

11:37am Caryn:

I'm grateful I don't really relate very much to anyone in "Breaking Bad". Still, it's a great show. And Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul have both been in drag at the "Breaking Bad" cast parties, so it ties nicely in with the current topic.

@Cecile: yep, or Agent Smith

11:38am Caryn:

D'oh! Just ignore the "or".

11:40am Someone:

OK, You're an ambulance. Better now?

11:41am seang:

Aguayo rocks!

11:41am Detroit Mac:

Mother, Jugs and Speed?

♥ 11:41am Ken:

Walters not a psychopath! Take it back!

11:41am glenn:

oh, i'm pretty sure he is.

11:41am Cookiepuss:

I'm seeing sponsors of SOPA and PIPA dropping out, but no confirmation of either being withdrawn; Obama can't withdraw them, can only threaten to veto if it passes. No confirmation he's done that, either. ???

11:42am Dan B From Upstate:

Walter's not a psychopath? You must still be early in the show, Ken.

11:44am Cecile:

I'm not so excited about Breaking Bad. Meth hasn't been kind to certain members of my family.

11:44am glenn:

in keeping with today's theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHzdsFiBbFc

11:44am Teh Governments:

As long as we're big enough to take care of you, we're big enough to boss you around however we feel like it whenever want to. Big businesses will always have the big money and huge legal departments to game the system in their favor, DUHHH. The only way to head off shit like SOPA and PIPA at the pass is have a government small enough that it's impossible to ask it to monitor the incredible amount of detail those laws mandate.

11:44am Caryn:

Jeff Bridges in "Thunderbolt & Lightfoot"?
@Ken: agree with others. Certainly from around season 3 onwards, it starts to become clear Walter is psychotic. (no spoilers, but just saying)

♥ 11:46am Ken:

Im halfway through Season 2 Dan. Walter's a criminal, a murderer, but not a psychopath. He doesnt take pleasure in hurting or manipulating people. He has a conscience.

11:47am Bad Ronald:

Where does one purchase an official Ken Freedman loincloth?

♥ 11:47am Ken:

Ive heard Breaking Bad really loses it in Season 3.. true?

11:47am Cecile:

RIP Jimmy Castor:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlRXQEA0yj0

♥ 11:47am Ken:

Bad Ronald, Cafe Press has 'em.

11:48am G:

@BR: Break into his house and steal one out of the laundry hamper.

11:48am Dan B From Upstate:

Nah, if anything, I'd say it steps up in season 3. You've got some great television ahead of you.

11:49am Bad Ronald:

@Cecile - Marty did a nice tribute -
http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/43520

Thanks folks I will wear it proudly...

11:49am glenn:

if anything, he has a very selective conscience.

11:50am Dan B From Upstate:

I can say that as a viewer, I never lost sympathy for Walt.

11:51am Mike East:

Season 3 of BB was great. Anyone know when to expect season 4 DVD? Is there a 3rd season of Justified?

11:51am Cecile:

you blacked out the comment section!

11:51am glenn:

i like him too. he's been dealt a very shitty hand.

11:52am Cecile:

no, that was just my computer.
is this the hitmaking machine Dan Wilson?

♥ 11:52am Ken:

What do you mean Cecile?

11:53am Cecile:

no, it's not. It's interesting

Dan Wilson from Semisonic who now writes huge country hits. It's not!

11:55am holland oats:

oh god for a minute i thought this was grunge

11:55am Brass Knuckles:

Damn. I'm watching Breaking Bad too. I hope Walt will die when the series ends. He's a total asshole.

11:56am Caryn:

@Mike East: season 3 of Justified started yesterday

11:57am glenn:

well, since he has terminal cancer i'm pretty sure that when walt dies, the series dies.

11:57am Caryn:

Oh, lord, Finnish disco lesson in Dan Wilson gif. Hah!

11:58am Mike East:

@Caryn - thanks. that's a drag though...lots of time to wait for the dvd's.

11:58am Ike:

IIRC the first few episodes of BB S3 are a bit slow, but then it gets good.

BB S4 will probably be out on DVD just before S5 starts on cable. Prob. this summer.

11:59am paul:

IIIIIIIIIIIII AAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM HHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD IIIIIIIIII NNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD TTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOO BBBBBBBBBEEEEEEE LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDD

11:59am dc pat:

WHAT IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT?? crap.

11:59am Caryn:

I think the big question is: will Walter die of cancer or have a violent death? It would be ironic, if they pulled a "Six Feet Under" surprise on us and had him die accidentally.

12:00pm Marmalade Kitty:

I thought this was great til I found out it tATu!

12:01pm MD:

I am the internet and I need to be loved!!!!!
Just like everybody else....

12:01pm Eric:

Hello Sweden!!

LOL

12:02pm Caryn:

@MKitty: agree with you 100 %

12:03pm Marie:

Does anyone know if there was a Ken Russell movie in which John Lithgow got himself up in drag? I vaguely remember seeing some movie that was kind of scary/mystery-laden in which he did that, and he was fearsome! 80's, 90's....

12:10pm dirt:

where'd you find that tatu remix?
