9:10am Detroit Mac:

The Dancing gal is Marie! (the Robot one).

9:11am Marmalade Kitty:

maybe he forgot to put his teeth in during the recording session?

9:12am Aaron in Minneapolis:

Hey there Kenny boy, can I call in with the relay since theres a lot more time, I dont know why I want to but I have the urge to today, and theres a lot more time to work with than last time,

9:12am Mark:

Yeah Mark E got his rhyming dictionary out. Beware if you play Greenway off of this for it features the immortal line: "I had to wank off the cat to feed the fucking dog"

9:12am dc pat:

I think he forgot to stop drinking pints..

9:14am dc pat:

9:14am Dan B From Upstate:

Morning, everyone.

9:15am listener mark:

Good morning Ken. I figured you would play this Tonetta song! Have you heard the Saddam one?

9:18am moose:

(i saw h jon benjamin on the street the other day and was starstruck for probably the first time)

9:20am Caryn:

Hello all!

9:20am Caryn:

Funny, my math answer during the Tonetta track was 777...

9:21am dale:

9:23am glenn:

9:23am listener mark:

What happened to the blue Prius?

9:23am Aaron in Jcity:

YMGiants and yelling - do it!!

9:24am moose:

you gotta get jon benjamin as a guest for live 7sd!!

9:24am Aaron in Minneapolis:

Yea sounds like Jersey to me

9:25am listener mark:

It isn't that bad.

9:25am ŦŐŦŐ:

G'morning all!

The son of a bitch "arriving late to Ken's show" I am. I missed Tonetta.

9:25am Dan B From Upstate:

@Moose, Jon Benjamin was on the show a few months back. Check the archives!

9:26am MD:

Back to horse and wagon!!! WE HAVE GONE INSANE!!!

9:26am Bad Ronald:

9:27am kat330:

Another late arrival, daggit all. Hi everybody!

9:27am moose:

really? wow i missed it! far out.
or else i just forgot
either way i didn't hear it

9:28am lewis:

you have no car, yet you are parked in coveted spot #1? - glad you escaped unscathed!

9:29am still b/p:

Sympathies on wreck and repercussions. Even if everyone meets obligations, it takes time, it piles up inconvenience and disruption. Why are you under such a mishap moon these days?

9:29am kat330:

This is Handel's Sarabande (sort of)!

9:30am listener mark:

Ken accidently ran over the DJ that spilled liquid on the board.

9:32am moose:

i'm scared to look up the old 7sd with hjb and find myself there commenting away...

9:33am Bad Ronald:

@ moose - Here's the vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFFgGSOR_t8

9:33am ŦŐŦŐ:

holy crap. That gif with the vortex hair lady. That's what I am supposed to be searching on for. I forgot the name of the movie based on that comic. Caryn?

9:34am kat330:

Reading to the top, Happy Birthday, Mac!

9:35am kat330:

Gotta flip to some workout beats -- but I'll be Bach.

9:36am Neg-guh-tor:

Bought a new Rosko record last week.

9:36am BSI:

Indisposed? We have an app for that.

9:37am Bad Ronald:

I'll be Haydn!

9:37am Cecile:

Good morning, all.
Do you have either Troglodyte by the Jimmy Castor Bunch or Sandwiches by the Detroit Grand Pubahs? Or Dr. Bootygrabber.

9:37am dc pat:

alright! I'll be Ives!

9:38am glenn:

hey ladies - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/new-health/health-news/pfizer-recalls-birth-control-pills-says-tablets-may-not-prevent-pregnancy/article2322276/

9:38am Cecile:

YES. I love you Ken.

9:38am Marmalade Kitty:

wfmu wheel clamps! extra funds there

9:38am listener mark:

Block the entrance. Don't let anyone into the lot.

9:39am Cecile:

I love the original, but this downtuned version is pretty great too.

9:39am Cecile:

gottafindawomangottafindawoman

9:39am Cecile:

I'LL SOCK IT TO YOU KENNY

9:40am ŦŐŦŐ:

oh, wow! this sounds better than the original imho !

9:40am still b/p:

Trog-lowwwww-dyte.

9:41am earwax:

I went to HS with the Butt sisters.

9:41am BSI:

600000000 x improved.

9:41am Cecile:

it's like oranges and tangerines as Guy Fieri would say.

9:42am Caryn:

You mean "Uzumaki". Of course, the fact that I have a friend that wears exactly that outfit is now creeping me out. I feel like I have to beware her hair now.

9:42am Cecile:

YES. MAGGOT BRAIN

9:42am bbell:

I love how the two dancing dudes at the top of the playlist can move in sync with anything you play!

9:43am Marmalade Kitty:

shit

9:43am Cecile:

Is that Jamie Foxx and Justin Timberlake at the top of the playlist?

9:43am ŦŐŦŐ:

Guys, gals, know what happen when you downtuned by 25% the song "Don't Worry Be Happy"? It's a big, big, big surprise, (especially for wrestle maniacs).

9:43am Vivian:

Morning! Just got in. Hey Ken, have you heard the new Neil Young/Crazy Horse jam?

9:44am ŦŐŦŐ:

Yay, Uzumaki, yes! But, geez, your movie-knowledge-skills kind of scare me Caryn. :P

9:44am Mark:

ooh Maggot Brain on vinyl

9:46am Cecile:

I think if you are playing records as a DJ in club for dancing, they have to be spotless. On the radio, they should be as f'd up as possible. There's no such thing as static on Internet radio and I miss it.

9:46am Skirkie:

Yo, I hear the guy who created Soul Train off'ed himself.

9:46am Lizardner Dave:

X Ray Burns reports on FB that Don Cornelius has left the dance floor.

9:46am Cecile:

@fofo
She's kind of a big deal. ;)

9:49am Caryn:

@Cecile: at first I thought so, but I don't think that's Foxx. Timberlake and someone else who looks familiar.
@ŦŐŦŐ: hey, I gotta fill my brain with something. In our family, if you need movie or tv trivia, you come to me; you wanna know the track order on this or that album, you go to my father or brother. We've divided up pop culture that way.
Looking at the Funkadelic gif, I'm reminded of how, just the other day, someone was wondering why all timelapse decomposition videos always feature foxes. I argued that you see the occasional rabbit or pigeon too. But foxes are the standard for some reason.

9:50am ŦŐŦŐ:

imdb.com < caryn.com

9:50am dale:

a fox was hit by a car and died in my yard last summer. it only took about three days for that whole process to occur

9:50am Detroit Mac:

Here is a flash from the past; Miriam, the original drummer for the CRAMPS has a blog site where she talks about those days: http://kicksville66.blogspot.com/

9:51am Caryn:

@ŦŐŦŐ: aww, shucks...

9:51am Mark:

which days

9:52am ŦŐŦŐ:

We still need to see FOX TV news decompose.

9:52am Vivian:

Well done Ken!

9:52am Mark:

oh, those days

9:53am Mark:

Ken, are you going to play all 37 plus minutes of this?

9:53am Glen Beck:

I did my part.

9:53am Cecile:

Aw, naw. I love Don Cornelius.

9:54am Cecile:

Actually, I heard this and thought it was Jonathan Kane. (sheepish)

♥ 9:55am Ken:

Wasnt sure how much to play.. anybody heard it? When does it get good? DOES IT?!

9:55am Cecile:

Well, I just got my tickets for an evening with William Shatner.
DON'T JUDGE.

9:55am Cecile:

Put on some Jonathan Kane, Ken.

9:55am Mark:

never made past the first few minutes

9:56am Vivian:

Yes, around 19 minutes into it, they go into Cortez the Killer

9:56am b Z:

PLAY ALL 37 MINUTES OF HORSE BACK!
DOPE!

9:57am Lizardner Dave:

Can't you just speed it up on the air until it gets to the good part?

♥ 9:57am Ken:

Thanks Vivian!~

9:58am Lizardner Dave:

There you go!

9:58am Vivian:

I heard the latest NY/CH jam over the weekend. Kid you not, the next day I heard Dave Matthews' version of Cortez the Killer on Sirius. We screamed and scrabbled for the remote.

9:58am BSI:

Very conveniently, it would seem the Traktor remix has already been done for us. How considerate!

9:58am Vivian:

Anything for you, Ken!

9:59am Mark:

as well you should, Vivian

9:59am Vivian:

Scrambled as to change the channel.

10:00am Mark:

I have the same reaction to any Dave Matthews

10:00am ŦŐŦŐ:

Vivian,

Hmm..Never heard that word out of the context of scrambled eggs.

10:02am Skirkie:

If I didn't have to sit here and engineer things I'd go down there and park just to call his bluff.

10:02am Caryn:

@Cecile: oh, like anyone could judge you for that. Heck, I'd get those tickets. Whether it's his musical stylings, his "I'm Canadian" speech or his strangely rhythmic speech patterns, Shatner always spells entertainment.

10:02am yayson:

the true ken song of all ken songs

10:02am Bad Ronald:

Dave Matthews is stinking it up everywhere!

10:03am MD:

THE DJ HAS GONE MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:04am Lizardner Dave:

Way to steal Irwin's "Vacuuming the studio song" for this week Ken.

10:04am Caryn:

For some reason, when I think of Dave Matthews, I always think of that time they dumped their crap on that tourist ship in Chicago. Of course, the band has dumped crap on records and in the ears of the listening public for years, so...

10:04am Cecile:

I would go out for a beer with Dave Matthews in a minute. I would not listen to one of his records in a century.

10:05am yayson:

don't forget about the death in NYC after the matthew's central park concert where a full porta potty (full of dave matthews fans' offal) flew off a truck and crushed a guy.

10:07am ŦŐŦŐ:

hahaha...Caryn, that's the only memory I have of DMB actually... and fortunately! I could only recognise one song but I always fail to recall it. My soul is saved.

10:07am Caryn:

Why is it that all the Dave Matthews Band accidents involve crap? Surely the powers that be are trying to tell us something...

10:07am Dan from Toronto:

Thanks for keeping us interdweebs all safe from digitized vinyl noise, Ken.

10:09am Mark:

only you insurance adjuster can tell you for sure

10:09am Cecile:

Aw, Don Cornelius committed suicide. So sad.

10:10am Vivian:

The radio hits bore me. Trying to understand the draw of DMB, since they always seem to sell out, I listened to a few songs live by Dave Matthews. Sounded like Sting to me, which reminds me of a dentist office.

10:10am listener mark:

Don't worry about the car. Most of that will buff right out.

10:10am yayson:

i had to sit thru dave at farm aid in 07 in order to see neil young and willie nelson. it was worth it when they did a duet on 'roll another number' and 'homegrown'. crowdpleasin'!

10:11am #OccupyWfmuParking:

Take back the parking spaces! Fight the oppressors!

10:11am trevor:

HEY KIRK HOW'S IT HANGIN

10:11am Aaron in Jcity:

upload some pics of the car

10:11am AnAnonymousParty:

Have a good body shop, that has a frame rack check it out, else wrap a chain around a tree and use a come-along to pull the radiator bracket straight. The rest will buff out.

10:12am dc pat:

your insurance company will say it's totaled. When I was rear-ended by a drunk republican, it seemed like my agent was urging me to agree that the car was totaled..

10:12am Cecile:

Vivian, some people don't like to be jolted. They like the notes in a certain order. I have to appreciate that, if not understand it.

10:15am Detroit Mac:

One Mississippi Queen... two Mississippi Queen... three Mississippi Queen...

10:17am Vivian:

@Cecile: there are some songs that fall into the notes of a certain order that I do enjoy. It's just that live DMB just didn't seem to have any spark. Could be from constantly touring who knows?

10:17am Felix Pappalardi:

God dammit! When I say MORE COWBELL, I mean MORE FUCKING COWBELL!

10:18am Cecile:

Do you have Couch Flambeau's version? It's amazing.

10:18am Bruce Dickinson:

Amen, brother!

10:18am Marmalade Kitty:

Thanks for the cramps blog, DMac!

10:20am Caryn:

Interesting Russian tattoo collection there.

10:20am still b/p:

That MQ reminded me of the Stan Freberg Banana Boat bit where the new bongo player says the vocal is "Too loud...too intense" and the singer has to go outside the studio door to deliver the "dayyy-o."

10:22am kat330:

Isn't it Eddie Murphy w/JT? I adore Nina Simone, thanks, Ken.

10:24am glenn:

rear ended by a drunk republican. there's humour in there somewhere

10:24am John McCabe in L.A.:

ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh good morning everybody :-)

10:24am kat330:

Look at the way that dude is running, heh!

10:25am Cecile:

how's it going John?

10:25am dc pat:

I was gonna say, funny running...

10:26am kat330:

Very early morning to you, JMinLA!

10:26am kickin' it around:

SantoRUM.

10:26am dc pat:

I'm having impure thoughts about the bald flapper...

10:26am kat330:

@dc pat: I think it makes it clear why a bull is going after him.

10:26am Bad Ronald:

That's right Glenn a lot of professionals get rear ended by drunk republicans at the RNC...

10:27am John McCabe in L.A.:

good just wrapped a movie shoot last night now i can go back to annoying fmu dj's

10:27am Cecile:

HA. Seven Brides. Such a fun movie on such a horrific premise.

10:27am Cecile:

That sounded like Howard Keel to me.

10:29am Caryn:

Slightly Paul Robesonish voice. Sounds more high bass than baritone to me. And the guy in the gif looks like the love child of Orson Welles and Bob Hope.

10:29am dc pat:

hey whaddaya saying Bad Ron?

10:30am Jessica Fletcher:

Don Cornelius' middle name was Cortez. Ken played Cortez killer a little while ago.

10:30am Bad Ronald:

er, yours was by accident...

10:31am trsh:

I like that blurry bus gif like I like that storm dismay one from last week.
Good morningk.

10:31am Detroit Mac:

Going to get a 7 Bride for 7 Brothers tattoo at the upcoming convention (an oxymoron if I ever said one) http://villainarts.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27&Itemid=91

10:32am efd:

Oh, Ken....

10:32am Skirkie:

Hell yes. I didn't know about this release.

10:32am Rosebud:

That is Orson Welles dancin' it up with the gals.

10:32am dc pat:

that fucker hit me and another person and then his lawyer tried to claim we didn't see him get out of his school bus. We did and so did the secret service.

10:33am ŦŐŦŐ:

why is that I'm reading Wikipedia entry for the japanese Cornelius trying to find out why he commited suicide and how come he had Cortez as a middle name and am not finding anything?

10:34am kat330:

Are those ladies being sent to Newt's moon colony?

10:35am Caryn:

It's funny how even a Spinal Tap-penned song has such an unmistakeable opening that you instantly recognise it. But of course, those guys have some damn catchy tunes.

10:36am Cecile:

Don Cornelius from Soul Train. Not Cornelius

10:37am glenn:

newt's moon colony is no more ridiculous than mitt's claims to , well, practically anything.

10:37am Caryn:

@kat: what else would Newt use it for? I'm guessing that to win that "competition" private companies are going to have to colonize the moon, the plans better include naked babes being shipped over. Of course, if this meant Newt would move there and never bother us again, I say let's go for it.

10:38am Otis:

thats from colin Wilson's space vampire book! colin might say theres already a mooncolony.

10:39am Detroit Mac:

The story is "Rosebud" was Hearst's nickname for Marion Davies' clitoris.

10:40am still b/p:

I keep hoping some mischief monkeys at a Newt event will start chanting:
"Four..more...wives!
Four..more...wives!"

10:40am px:

did someone actually call a band big bottom, or are the artist and song fields mixed up? :)

10:40am kat330:

Colin Wilson, heh, haven't thought of him in ages.

10:40am zoot allors:

dear parking-space-vigilante-dj Ken
why not post a sign: "parking for WFMU only. Infractors will be violated and toadaway"

10:41am ŦŐŦŐ:

thanks, Cecile! I was suspecting an in-house joke. But unfortunately, there is (was) indeed a Don Cornelius. :(

10:43am Chief Negotiator:

Ken, rent her the spot for a house of today $1000 pleadge!!

10:43am listener mark:

location, location, location

10:44am Lizardner Dave:

Is Ken pitching a show for TLC here? "Parking Spot Hunters"?

10:44am Michele:

Ken you sound so happy right now messing with Barbara!

10:44am yayson:

175

10:44am listener mark:

Charge per diem

10:44am r i s k y:

LET HER PARK IT!

10:44am Mark:

let her stay

10:44am r i s k y:

LET HER PARK IT!

10:45am Skirkie:

Make her buy you lunch.

10:45am Sam:

Make her pay! Otherwise sionara. Le parking, ca se paie.

10:45am Listener Schned:

Charge her for the day at least !

10:45am Dan B From Upstate:

She can stay for a day.

10:45am G:

HAVE NO MERCY!!!!! Freeloaders!

10:45am ŦŐŦŐ:

TAKE NO PRISONERS! Charge her US1000 per square meter

10:45am Detroit Mac:

She sounds like a foreigner. Make her pay 125 in Euros.

10:46am Michelle in Green Bay:

Hmmm...let her stay for today, but she needs to negotiate in good faith. None of this "I thought we had an agreement" when you clearly don't!

10:46am kat330:

Anyone else see Ringo on Ferguson last night?

10:46am Sam:

Call a tow truck, get her car towed, that will teach her. She shoulda negotiated with you.

10:47am Cheri Pi:

Ken, would she be willing to work off the balance?

10:47am Neg-guh-tor:

No way. She has to pay the comparable. You need the cash and she has it. $150 and no less.

10:47am Bad Ronald:

Quid pro quo: let her stay but make her work around the station.

10:48am glenn:

speaking of paying, i got my official tax receipt for my marathon contribution today. does the i.r.s. really expect us non u.s. citizens to claim this stuff?

10:48am Skirkie:

Don't let her walk all over you, Ken.

10:48am Caryn:

A donation to WFMU. She can pick the amount. That's for the day. For a monthly fee, go for the monthly donation. Hell, she gets swag for it in addition to the parking space, so she should be thrilled.

10:48am Bad Ronald:

Why the hell did he re-record "Step Lightly"?

10:48am Nathan:

You should've simply informed her that the spots are going for $250 a month. Same as it has been for the last X number years and if they've a problem with that to take it up with their boss. No argument, no haggling.

10:49am G:

This is what's left of the Beatles. Sheesh.

10:49am ŦŐŦŐ:

I agree with Bad Ronald. She could even become a DJ! Imagine her playing from the WFMU archive from a Realtor perspective! Yay!

10:50am Cecile:

I bet she would play a lot of House and Garage music.

10:50am G:

What, would she be playing the Guess Who's "Share the Land"?

10:50am dobbs:

Monetize that shit! $125 is an insult.

10:50am Michele:

Give it to pizza guy!

10:51am Nathan:

Give it to the guy with the pizza shop then. Simple! You're not being 'mean' you're running a business.

10:51am Cecile:

It sounds like an aural version of the Metal Sludge webpage.

10:52am ŦŐŦŐ:

cecile, LMAO!

10:52am G:

Make the realtor and pizza guy bid against each other. Then you find the real market value.

10:52am Milton:

Wasn't there a song after Big Bottom about dating? (Just before the negotiation segment)

10:53am jimw:

let the nice lady have the space for $125

10:54am faith:

Take her car

10:54am px:

$8.06

10:54am Michelle in Green Bay:

I'd go to the pizza guy right now. Get his verbal commitment on the air and play it for Barbara. Realtors understand competing offers, don't they?

10:54am trsh:

Plus, no maintenance fees.

10:54am Cecile:

as a BBW, the tributes are worse than neglect.

10:55am dobbs:

$8.06 for the day...round it up to 10

10:55am Cheri Pi:

Round it up to $10 per day.

10:56am Cecile:

OK the AC/DC song is funny

10:56am Sam:

Can she give you her soul as payment? Are you equipped to take people's souls?

10:56am Cheri Pi:

Scan Mode-that's brilliant!

10:57am dc pat:

sir mix-a-lot is hilarious

10:57am Marmalade Kitty:

free pizzas for life? how many pizzas would that be?

10:58am Milton:

Wasn't there another song about dating just prior to your negotiations?

10:58am other david:

Lord forgive Led Zeppelin, they knew not what terrible covers their work would spawn.

10:58am Cecile:

yeah, and LL CoolJ's Big Ole butt

10:58am Skirkie:

Can you get the car booted?

10:59am Sam:

Free pizza for life could be just one pizza - each day you eat half of what's left. It never ends.

10:59am efd:

Ken, now I'm not even waiting for your permission to tweet that pic you sent me.

10:59am px:

bayerische motoren werke

10:59am jbm:

$210/month. Not a penny less.

10:59am ŦŐŦŐ:

Philosophy pizza. there you go.

11:00am G:

Sell the car off for parts while she's inside working the phone.

11:00am Caryn:

"The Thong Song" is also more about the big butts those thongs are on.

11:01am Sam:

Yes, a thong without a big butt stuffed in it is worthless in itself.

11:01am Caryn:

They should've done The Smiths' "Some Girls are Bigger than Others".

11:02am Skirkie:

All I see for this Whole Lotta Love album is MP3 downloads. You have a CD?

11:03am Awkward silence:

You're not a fan of the bed music, are you Ken?

11:04am Ralphine:

Does anyone know if Don Cornelius was any relation to Yukon Cornelius?

11:04am Lizardner Dave:

All these despicable plane crashes.

11:04am Caryn:

Did Fabio ever text you: "Like my namesake, I was just hit in the face by a goose"?

11:04am G:

@Ralphine: Corny.

11:05am andymorphic:

get every penny out of her that you can ken!

11:07am Touchy Feely:

I was psyched to hear Tonetta eariier this morning. I didn't realize he got so mainstream! Good Choice, Ken! I'm actually involved in the making of a Tonetta Tribute album.

11:07am jbm:

Vellum. You don't have to say it very many times in a row before it stops making any sense.

11:08am Vivian:

Jonathan Kane!!! Nice!

11:09am ŦŐŦŐ:

jbm,

Oh, I thought they were talking about Valium! Now I get it!

11:10am dc pat:

11:12am jbm:

Parking spaces are for closers.

11:13am still b/p:

Step in Time sweeps hitting the beats for a bit, then off, then back on...

11:14am Caryn:

Damn, Don Cornelius is dead. Cornelius (the ape) is dead (also of a gunshot wound). And Roddy McDowall, who played Cornelius, is dead. That name is a jinx to people I am fond of. RIP, Don Cornelius. Play some danceable soul, Ken! We gotta dance the blues away.

11:16am jerry butler:

re: don: self-inflicted, yo.

11:16am Cecile:

I heard it was a suicide.

11:17am Listener Schned:

Don Cornelius shot himself, cf. nypost.com

11:17am MD:

I'm Thinking...a Memorial Parking spot for Mr
Cornelius might be in order....????

11:18am cobradan:

he killed himself

11:18am dc pat:

self-assassination..

11:18am other david:

Any pics of the new tshirt floating around? And will Don Cornelius feature on it?

11:18am Caryn:

Oh, Dick Clark is a terminator. A robot in a skin suit. That's why he doesn't age.
@MD: definitely! And you gotta dance to and from your car. And you better dance well, or you lose the spot!

11:19am Lizardner Dave:

Did someone say Roddy McDowall? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMnG3gOqigE

11:20am dc pat:

cpt kangaroo was assassinated..

11:20am Mark:

bob mcallister is already dead

11:20am Neg-guh-tor:

Peace, love, soul, suicide.

11:21am Mark in DC:

Why not Bob McAllister? Why him? Such a nice young man.

11:21am Caryn:

@Lizardner Dave: Is it wrong that I know that whole bit from memory? And occasionally sing it in the shower?

11:21am Cecile:

Elvira was on RuPaul's Drag Race the other night.

11:22am ditdoc:

What about Yukon Cornelius, is he dead, too?

11:22am Sam:

Assassinations are not allowed on the moon. Thank god.

11:22am Lizardner Dave:

@Caryn. No. Not at all.

11:22am Andrea on the M62:

What? Elvira was assassinated?

11:22am Andrea on the M62:

What? Elvira was assassinated?

11:22am Mark:

play "Whitey on the Moon" in honor of Newty

11:23am Lizardner Dave:

Admiral Stockdale was assassinated.

11:24am Sam:

We could establish a Palestinian state on the moon. And a jewish state too. Then they could killl each other over who gets to mine cheese out of the craters in the disputed zone.

11:24am Caryn:

@Ken: Bob Keeshan already died in 2004. His grandson climbed Mount Everest and buried a picture of him at the summit. (Weird pop culture trivia #276)

11:24am jbm:

I can't see the name Cornelius without hearing it pronounced by Milla Jovovich in her Leeloo accent.

11:24am Cecile:

I think the Last Poets did it...

11:25am dc pat:

what about Vampyra?? row, row...tck,tck 23 skidoo!

11:25am Cecile:

Nope, it was Gil.

11:25am ADL:

If we can't laugh at suicide, what can we laugh at?

11:25am Lizardner Dave:

Don Pardo was assassinated by a Lady Gaga costume that was animated by sentient bedbugs.

11:26am Skip:

What am I gonna do with all this Tang?

11:26am Caryn:

@dc pat: you know, Vampira supposedly dated James Dean.

11:26am Lunar Screener:

Well, LD..I was just about to post this important reminder: Don't let any of Lady Gaga's outfits go to the moon or you'll have one serious moonbase bedbug problem.

11:27am sting:

Giant steps are what you take
Whitey's on the moon
I hope my leg don't break
Whitey's on the moon

11:28am ŦŐŦŐ:

Ain't it fine this song? I luv it! Yes, L-U-V!

11:30am Sam:

Whoever becomes president of the moon would have to be born there. There are no potential candidates. So until we establish a maternity ward up there, it will be anarchy!

11:31am G:

"Livin for the Shitty"?

11:37am G:

I think Stevie sings a little better than the last dude. Same fender rhodes arrangement, though.

11:37am kat330:

@G: Are you dissin' this song?

11:37am Detroit Mac:

corn weeny- I will bury you.

11:38am Caryn:

Haven't we learned from "Dougal and the Blue Cat" that the moon is the realm of jazz-obsessed felines and their overlords? So if that's your bag, baby, feel free to move there.

11:38am jan:

Special request: Fingertips Part 2

11:38am Neg-guh-tor:

Don could never get behind rap.

11:39am G:

"Livin for the Shitty" was about the prior song, which obviously leaned very heavily on "Livin for the City"

11:40am Sam:

Cats love the moon because it's like one giant litterbox.

11:40am RevWaldo:

More big girl songs please!

11:40am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm up to Firefox version 10 now. Let's see if today's animated GIFs make it crash.

Oh yeah, and the Super Bowl is coming up.

11:41am Nikita Khrushchev:

Yes, yes, the man outside Pizza Hut had one of these!

11:41am kat330:

Ah, ok -- that's better (and I had flipped elsewhere so didn't hear the previous). Sorry for the misinterpret.

11:43am G:

Check it on the archive, Kat. The electric piano riff is a total xerox.

11:43am Caryn:

Is that gif supposed to represent an unsuccessful rapture on the Pizza Hut parking lot? Yes, the righteous Christian was yanked out of his clothes to go to heaven. But whoops, he was too heavy due to his Hut visit, so he fell back down. Damn that deepdish pizza!

11:44am bill:

i want this broad in JAIL

11:44am seang:

horrendous

11:44am Nathan:

Thought that was the original VU. Noooooo! Bad sample!

11:44am jan:

speaking of pizza- did you hear the music on the Little Ceasars Pizza commercial running these days?

11:44am other david:

there is no moon

11:45am blip:

What the f--- is this?

11:45am Nathan:

I'm not a purist by any stretch, but this is stretching.. my rectum.

11:46am G:

I thought Jesus had an exclusive endorsement deal with Chuck E. Cheese.

Whiners can't handle mashup!

11:46am Nathan:

Noriega would've left his compound right quick if the marines had played this.

♥ 11:46am Ken:

Nathan - In that case, visit dIMESIONSmAGAZINE.COM!

11:47am bill:

the horns really make it better don't they

11:47am Nathan:

is that where the internet makes it's bad touches?

11:47am Caryn:

Isn't it hard to aim properly while standing on a space octopus? Get off the damn octopus, then start waving the gun around, girl! Of course, it also looks like she's trying to kick the octopus in the crotch, which should be biologically kinda difficult.

11:48am G:

This guy *is* a horrible plane crash.

11:52am dc pat:

oh no: impure thoughts again...

11:57am dc pat:

The Animatronics is my new fave group.

11:57am Caryn:

Those showgirls probably suffered from horrible headaches every evening after the clock number.

11:58am Nathan:

Thanks Ken, that has added a new .. uh... dimension to my life.

11:58am mike:

i get it, "rain check," heh.

11:58am ŦŐŦŐ:

thanks for the show Ken! It was pretty productive, I even learned about negotiating parking lot spaces! (Nathan)

12:33pm Caryn:

Man, the mystery of the man on the gif was bothering me so much that... well, after an hour of research: the guy with Timberlake is T.I. from the music video for their collaboration "My Love". Man! Although, hearing the musical collage of Ken's & Duane's shows with Timberlake videos was interesting. Although tiring. Man, need a rest now.
