9:05am common:

barbara steele!

9:05am Lizardner Dave:

The Native Hipsters, the official non Jandek musical voice of Jandekistan.

9:07am Cecile:

Wednesday is even better now - I can work at home or another site.

9:07am still b/p:

Is that Rooster Coughburn in the picture?

9:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...as good as discovering new tracks by Jiff Beck in the Yardbirds...

9:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- hair Punk - you ain't no Punk...

9:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Benny Hill: ...In that case, TATT - !

9:10am SeanG:

Joey!

🚽

9:10am Ken:

Morning everybody!

9:11am I. Newendo:

May I be the first to say 'Nice cock, Ken'

🚽

9:12am Ken:

Thank you, I.

9:12am KevinfromBayRidge:

Congrats Cecile! Now you can take the short trip to NY/NJ to experience off-site terrestrial listening to Ken & other Wednesday DJs.

9:13am Cheri Pi:

Separately???

9:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Oo- that Meadow House gif make me woozy before tea&toast, cybersurrealists...

9:14am f○f● (:

Soup Ken, listeners, commenters and gif watchers!

9:14am Michael:

That Joey pic reminds me of the old Astor Place Barbers for some reason.

9:19am glenn:

this reminds me - it's been a while since we heard the only song.

9:19am jeff in puna hawaii:

Good morning!

9:21am Irene:

Love those lyrics about the NY Central!

9:21am Dr. Goot:

Good Morning. I'd like to hear The Only Song as well please.

9:22am Cecile:

What if Percy Sledge met Sun Ra?

9:22am Cecile:

What if Percy Sledge met Sun Ra?

9:22am f○f● (:

If WFMU DJs don't talk to hobos in the street, surely some of them play their music (e.g. moondog).

9:23am Sem Chumbo:

@Cecile: a concept worthy of reiterating.

9:23am Cheri Pi:

Cecile! Glad to hear you're home today.

9:23am Cheri Pi:

Nailed it Cecile!

9:25am Cecile:

Me too!

9:26am Cecile:

Sem, a problem with the FMU app.

9:26am Caryn:

Hello all!

Gif info: starting of course with Barbara Steele in her breakthrough role in 1960's "Black Sunday". Man, that mask with the spikes freaked me out as a kid...
The rooster informs everyone of the coming morning in classic "Nosferatu" (Max Schreck, not Klaus Kinski version).
And the ghostly nightscape is from "The Golem".

9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...it would be way kewl Cecile : )
- & the beginning of this bed is *not* - I repeat *not* the opening chord to 'She's Your Lover Now' by Dylan...
- Gifs seem very zippy in Windows2000Exploder6 this week! The waving of the GoodWizardKenzo's staff?
...But my friend gave me a Mac yesterday anyhow - ! Just gotta transfer my Faves & Passwords & junk. Yeehoo!...

9:28am Detroit Mac:

I worship a "Spunky God"

9:28am People Like Us:

no, you LOSE

9:29am still b/p:

Doris Day's birthday today. Maybe just a li'l sumthin' maybe?

9:30am People Like Us:

can't you go back to the old people's home and reenact the whole thing?

9:30am Cecile:

Caryn, you ninja!

Now I gotta get the better half out of bed to bring me food!

9:31am f○f● (:

This confirms my conspiracy theory that Caryn is a bot. It's not humanly possible to know the origin of every single animated movie gif that exists. Or perhaps finnish water gives you some kind of magical skills.

9:31am Cecile:

Vicki, ITA. They'd love it.

9:32am Cecile:

Caryn might also be Martin Scorcese

9:33am f○f● (:

Vicki,

I finally saw you live in the XOYO! Was incredible! Sometimes when I think about the video collage it feels like trying to remember a dream.

9:33am Dr. Goot:

www.youtube.com...

9:33am Cheri Pi:

IM SO GREEN!!!!

9:34am People Like Us:

many thanks

9:34am Rev. Turnip Druid:

CAN FREEMAN!

9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Voiced similar suspicions, f○f● (:
...I conclude so far that Caryn prob. some clandestine Govt. intelligence supercomputung situation - but bengin anyhow, like the ones in 'The President's Analyst' (*not* Phone Co. - & boy, was film prescient on *that* one!)...

9:35am Cecile:

Vicki, the Walker Art Center should book you in Minneapolis.

9:35am Cecile:

Vicki, the Walker Art Center should book you in Minneapolis.

9:35am People Like Us:

twice
actually I played there 12 years ago

9:36am Caryn:

Aw, come on, f○f● (: , I'm not sure which movie the train track gif is from! Have many candidates in mind, but I've decided that it's from an oldie, so some theories have fallen by the wayside...

9:37am Cecile:

Yeah, but I wasn't there, so you have to come back!

9:37am Sem Chumbo:

@Cecile: I see what you mean.

9:38am Cecile:

Notice she didn't discount the Scorcese theory.

9:38am People Like Us:

I don't know anyone working there any more

🚽

9:38am Ken:

Rev Rabbit - Thanks for bringing up The President's Analyst - a very important movie to me - I saw it when I was 8 or 9, and it made me the paranoid lunatic I remain to this day. What a great film. Jame Coburn and his Gong! That's the reason why I own a gong!

9:39am f○f● (:

* ahem *

Just to confirm...

Caryn,

captcha: ㎡ㄩㄅⅰς

What it says there?

9:39am Caryn:

Everyone needs a gong, Ken.

9:40am Michael:

Ditto Ken - still holds up pretty well too.

9:41am Michael:

Well except for the gong.

9:41am richard:

Ich liebe Deutsche Elektronische Musik!

9:41am Flauri:

Great show again! Almost cut my hair coz of haircuts now!

9:41am Cecile:

Well, they have a suggestion box. I'll throw your name in there.

9:42am Caryn:

Well, f○f● (: , don't know, but going to guess "music"?

🚽

9:43am Ken:

I really DID need a gong. Before I bought a gong, the WFMU marathon didnt know how to end. It was a real problem! It just went on and on and on and drunkenly petered out. But now I have the GONG!

9:43am DCE:

I must put my hands on this Deutsche Elektronische Musik comp. I simply must. Good morning, FMUers.

9:43am Cecile:

Oh, hai. I haz giant petal pink streaks in Mai hair now. Similarity to Twilite Sparkel only coincidental.

🚽

9:44am Ken:

yeah, this Deutsche Electronische comp is great. Tons of good stuff I'd never heard before. Like this track right here.

9:44am People Like Us:

or a shotgun

9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...now that I think of it - 'Analyst' kinda like a condensced 'The Prisoner' - but w/ a sense of Humor
(- & as said in The Monkees 'Head': Nobody ever lent money to a man w/ a sense of humor')...
...Cecile may be schizophrenic but so is he...

9:48am f○f● (:

Caryn.,

Hmmm...I'm still suspicious. Maybe you are a humanly controlled bot. But in any case you seem bening. I for one welcome our new benignant bot overlords.

9:48am Danne D:

I'm impressed that Caryn has been programmed to even read captchas. I'm guessing government experiment gone rogue.

9:49am still b/p:

Was thinking about another classic movie moment for gong, and see that Witches in Bikinis made a reference to it in lyrics:
"So if you hear the beating of my big gong. It means I'm calling King Kong."

9:50am Cecile:

Sorry about the LOLcat moment there.

9:51am Caryn:

Oh look, the pizza from "House IV"... Man, that was a disappointing sequel. Not that you should expect much from a horror sequel, but stick to the first 2 films, I say.

9:51am Ralphine:

My favorite Monkee was the tall one that usually wore a knit cap. My sister liked the blonde-headed one.

🚽

9:54am Ken:

Caryn, you are absolutely amazing with the film IDs! How do you know all this? Are you a filmmaker or a professor or something?

9:55am f○f● (:

Ken,

You should read The Simulation Argument stop the paranoid tendencies and embrace the real logical possibility of us living what people call 'reality'.

9:55am JJ:

House IV is the House III of movies

9:55am Cecile:

Ken, Hugo was her last film project.

9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...& Caryn speaks what - 15 languages or somethin' - ?!?!...

9:56am day:

yay! creatures! of! the! night!!!!

9:57am f○f● (:

*to stop the paranoid urgencies you may have

🚽

9:57am Ken:

And what did Caryn do on Hugo? I like talking about her like she's not here.

9:57am Caryn:

@Ken: lifelong film buff, that's about it (childhood amateur films do not count as "filmmaker").

@f○f● (: & Danne: or maybe I'm just a kindly army officer trying to keep your minds distracted with flighty gif knowledge while you are trapped in a virtual reality, a la "Source Code".

9:59am f○f● (:

Caryn is an experiment from a Nokia Lab based in Finland.

It's actually a new app for smartphones that works like Pandora but for video and films.

You submit a Gif into the app and it will tell you all the details about it with the same depth as the imdb.com.

9:59am Cecile:

She's Martin Scorcese!

9:59am Cecile:

She's Martin Scorcese!

10:00am Cecile:

Fofo, no she's the new Angry Bird, "Marty".

10:01am still b/p:

Scorsese turn up all over. I got this big fat book on Saul Bass out of the library, and who'sa write the foreword? MMMMarty!

🚽

10:01am Ken:

Shes not Martin Scorcese! Maybe Martina Scorcese. MAYBE.

10:01am f○f● (:

Did I say Pandora ? ha! I meant to say Shazam.

Yeah. Caryn is Shazam but for video and movies.

10:01am Cecile:

Well, be back in a while.

10:05am trish:

I'd like to know how the caracara from last week's gif made it to Nova Scotia's south shore. Plane? http://thechronicleherald.ca/novascotia/1120523-official-bird-of-mexico-makes-surprise-visit-to-ns

10:05am Andrew Waterloo:

This has been a really good Ken morning

10:07am Pidge:

@still b/p - Saul Bass directed one of my favorite ant-related movies ... Phase IV.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuhgBvOWb_k

10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

..heard about this thing where bird's navigation (magnetic?) goes exactly backwards, & you get pink flamingos in Siberia or whatever...course - NewClimateNormal???...

10:09am Evan47:

loving this record

10:10am f○f● (:

¿¡WTF?! The Caracara is NOT the mexican official bird! NOt even the Quetzal.

10:11am Caryn:

"Phase IV" is fabulous. I kinda ended up rooting for the ants.

10:11am Cheri Pi:

That track was badass

10:11am Ellirb:

holy f this is insane!! Love it!

10:12am Ralphine:

That chewing llama is from "We Bought a Zoo" (not really, I have no idea).

10:12am trish:

It's not unusual for migratory species of birds to get blown off course, though Caracaras aren't a migratory spp.

10:12am f○f● (:

Jonathan Kane sounds awesome live. I don't know if all the previous versions Ken has played before were the studio ones.

10:12am maestroso:

I remember that amazing Kane session. Funny how it sounds different everytime I hear it.

10:13am MD:

Put your Baby to sleep to the mellow rock of "LED ZEP!!!"

10:14am dcp:

'lo

10:15am Caryn:

@Ralphine: it's actually a kangaroo. I am puzzled by the similarity of alpaca, llama and kangaroo heads from straight on...

10:15am glenn:

how many b.t.u.s does your boiler produce, ken?

10:15am dcp:

did you say Vicky Pop??

10:15am Lewis:

hey don't knock sea chanties - I am need a really good ship wreck song for a pod cast I am putting together...

10:16am still b/p:

@ Pidge -- Cool. Thanks!

10:16am Ralphine:

Oh. Well, maybe it's from Crocodile Dundee, then.

10:16am glenn:

homosexual rape, huh? www.youtube.com...

10:17am Lewis:

did you know that Thoreau wrote a very dispassionate description of a horrific wreck on Cape Cod?... It is really pretty weird....

10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- This reminds me of how Iggy cites Johnny Cash's sort-of minimal slow repetitive intense style as influential on Stooges...

10:17am dcp:

"Asshole Rules the Navy" is the song Ken couldn't utter...

10:18am f○f● (:

Oh. I thought this was Tony Mason Cox

10:18am Evan47:

Hey Ken, I donated to WFMU this pledge, but didn't yet have a WFMU account name...I want a heart next to my name cause i'm jealous over everyone else and i want to show my love

10:19am Lewis:

@Evan47 - we will love you even without the heart

10:19am Danne D:

(Somewhere a technician is noting 'upgrade kangaroo differentiation recognition software')

10:20am Evan47:

thank you... all i need is some appreciation in this world

10:20am f○f● (:

I have mine here Evan47. I haven't painted blue yet thou. But you can have it in the mean time.

♥

10:22am Danne D:

That's pretty awesome that I could tell this is CW McCall without looking :)

10:22am MD:

Hey Ken can you play my "Buddy" Shane's track???

10:23am DCE:

me too Danne D! once you hear Convoy you can always recognize CW

10:23am Danne D:

Is CW the actual voice for those Round Up Pest Control commercials?

10:23am Lewis:

@MD = agreed.

10:23am still b/p:

I read that Thoreau account. Folks flocked to the fresh wreck & death site like an exciting temporary tourist attraction....just as they would today, I suppose.

10:24am Wretch:

I'm 100% certain that Clay Pigeon would have talked to the hobos.

10:24am DCE:

take that, Sadaam!

🚽

10:25am Ken:

Evan47, Email Lizb at wfmu dot org and she will fix your heart problem.

10:25am Wretch:

Oh, betcha the dancing girls are from Citizen Kane. Or is that one too easy?

10:26am Ralphine:

The dancing girls in Citizen Kane wore black outfits. That's one movie I do know.

10:27am Cheri Pi:

Haaahaahaaaaaaa tis is LOLing me.

10:27am bill:

FINALLY some TRUTHHH!!!

10:27am Evan47:

Ken....thank.....you

10:28am MD:

Opps!!! I guess the Desert could be "Nam"....OPPS!!!!

10:28am DCE:

woooo hooo!

10:28am still b/p:

Radio warrrriorrrr, play some Doris Day-ee-ayyy.

10:28am Luke:

What is this music. Someone came into my office and thought I was listening to country (a normal activity in my state). I want people to recoil when they hear Ken's weird hippie noise. More noise please.

10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...damn hobos wanna talk
- they should make a rekkid
- like Hank II er any other redbludded 'Merikan...

10:28am paulWCBN:

larry and corn weenie.... is it suddenly 2009 again?

10:29am amEdeo:

Goddamn lefto's.

10:30am Danne D:

10:30am DCE:

10:30am common:

10:31am MD:

WOW I UNDERSTAND NOW!!! THANKS "HACK" HANK THE FIRST!!!

10:31am tim from champaign:

Last weekend I found Roger Hallmark's "Message to Khomeini" b/w "Maharishi" 45. It was featured in FMU's Beware of the Blog in 2007. blog.wfmu.org...

10:31am Cheri Pi:

REVEREND TURNIP!!! I SUMMON YOU to hear this magical song.

10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid:

The first version of this tune I ever heard was GG Allin's -- Some part of my brain keeps thinking Hank Waterhead Jr is doing a GG cover here...

10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid:

[as summoned]

10:32am duke:

Dagnabit! Think how fine this country would be if them mabericks Palin and McCain was runnin' things.

10:32am still b/p:

How did Hank beget Wank Williams?

10:32am Danne D:

Think they play this at Gitmo?

10:32am Cheri Pi:

That was quick, Ken play this TWICE I beseech you!!!

10:32am DCE:

Cheri Pi has awesome summoning powers apparently!

10:33am glenn:

i hope to god this is satire.

10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

John McCain Not Insane

10:33am DCE:

witch, they'll all cry

10:34am jdelz:

Haha. Perfect follow up.

10:34am Neg-guh-tor:

Palin is a dish. A dish of dumbass!

10:34am Pine:

Love the only song :)

10:34am Yair Yona:

What a beautiful album by Blegvad and Greaves

10:34am jdelz:

Hey Steve!

10:35am Dr. Goot:

THANKS KEN!!!

10:35am Whosondephone:

Just gets better and better with age.

10:35am Cheri Pi:

I want to walk down the aisle to THAT song.

10:36am βrian:

@CP At which movie?

10:37am Rev. Turnip Druid:

MEATBAGS!

10:37am Mike Noble:

where's that top gif of the black and white lady from? i recently saw it in the video for "hex" by austin psych band night beats: vimeo.com...

10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...the movie where she summons me...

10:38am DCE:

hey johnnie!

10:38am Ike:

Cheri Pi, no problem. I'll meet you at Harry's Drive-In Marriage Haus & Hot-Dog Emporium in Vegas on Saturday at 11. Don't be late.

10:38am Caryn:

The deck of the Mar Mostro is quite funky, isn't it? BTW, that body on the beach is the penultimate death in the 1945 version of "And Then There Were None". Not gonna say the character, because that would be spoilerish.

10:39am Caryn:

@Mike Noble: "Black Sunday". Also sometimes known as "Mask of Death".

🚽

10:41am Ken:

If anybody is in Jersey City orwants to take the PATH to Exchange Place, Andy Breckman and I are each doind standup tonight at 10pm at 286 Washington Street in Jersey City. 2 blocks from the PATH / WFMU. It's an unprecedented Ken versus Andy contest!

10:43am Cheri Pi:

RTD handles all of my matrimonial issues.

10:45am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Garlands of painted skulls. And a kitten.
The rest is easy.

10:45am still b/p:

There's yer wedding gown right there in the current gif.

10:45am Cheri Pi:

This has that Mali guitar fuzz that I love so much. Well done Matmos.

10:46am Caryn:

BTW; I think the Blegvad & Greaves gif is an altered bit from the 1967 Spiderman animated series. Not 100 % on this, but the drawing style and colours fit.

10:46am Cheri Pi:

*that's aboot right Still b/p. And the bridal veil fascinator! I know you'll be pleased especially if you dabble in bone collecting.

10:47am Cheri Pi:

THIS JUST IN: Arrington DiDionyso is on tour now & coming soon to Cincy! Can't wait.

10:47am dcp:

Arrington is what I want to get married to....dammit too late.

10:47am Rev. Turnip Druid:

The centerpiece at the reception will be a chocolate fountain utilizing a taxidermed Hank Jr in a posture of being violently, awesomely ill.

10:48am dcp:

huh, "married to Arrington".....why not??

10:48am Rev. Turnip Druid:

*ed note: the kitten would not be painted.

10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...no so well done Matrimonios
...sense I'm just one dog in the pack again
- so I'm bowing out 'til you make up your mind C.Pi...

10:49am Rev. Turnip Druid:

christ on a kitten, this Arrington track is the schnitzel.

10:49am still b/p:

If I change my screen name, it'll be to "Dabblebone."

10:49am Cheri Pi:

That is patented technology -lovebirds, don't try that centerpiece idea yourself.

10:49am Caryn:

Dammit, missed the dancing girls gif! That's from the 1939 film "The Roaring Twenties". Recently bought it for a steal at the local supermarket.

10:50am Evan47:

Check out my shiny new heart

10:50am dcp:

and the Matmos lady is dancing perfectly to this.

10:50am Cheri Pi:

I'll Marrington Arrington any day of the week.

10:50am Caryn:

And the Matmos gif is of course from "Metropolis".

10:50am Evan47:

and sweet metropolis gif

10:50am Tinman & Scarecrow:

Nice, Evan.

10:50am Yair Yona:

Whjile listening to Ken's show, I'm getting a WFMU newsletter, from Ken. Ken is everywhere

10:51am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Behold the Everken.

10:52am dcp:

10:52am dcp:

10:53am dcp:

10:53am Cheri Pi:

10:54am Ken:

Good to know the newsletter arrived! I woke up at 5am to finish off that sucker.

10:55am dcp:

10:55am Cheri Pi:

I have 2 emails from Ken. Get off my lawn pal!

🚽

10:56am cklequ:

krecs.com...

10:56am dcp:

it's funny I came to the conclusion that I need to shift my music into the improvisational world this morning and Arrington just confirms that belief...

10:57am Cheri Pi:

Tour dates here: www.facebook.com...

10:58am DCE:

is it a penguin guide or a hallucinogen guide? i guess they're not mutually exclusive.

10:59am still b/p:

Who can lend me three shillings sixpence so I can appreciate the future of discipline?

11:00am Caryn:

And sorry for the delay on the gif IDs there! Hard to organise DVR and do this at the same time. The music helps, though.

11:00am Rob (from Mt Hope):

we should meet for tea

11:01am Luke:

Number 1, I did it my way.

11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

11:03am Cecile:

Mmmmm. Chocolate cayenne donuts.

11:03am Danne D:

@Ken I'll try to make it tonight :( but I think work is going to prevent it. This is a bummer to no end.

11:04am Danne D:

Here's a question for Ken's "ask" show - why didn't you include any animated gifs in the BOHA? :)

11:04am Cheri Pi:

WHERE CECILE?

11:04am Cecile:

CW McCall was a dedicated environmentalist

11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

AvatarChange :
- RabbitPower! Our Time is Now!

11:06am trish:

Not an ecologist?

11:06am Ralphine:

The song Convoy may have been awful, Ken, but the movie Convoy is a CLASSIC. Ali MacGraw + Kris Kristofferson = movie magic.

11:06am Mike Noble:

when's ken gonna do a reddit IAmA?

11:08am Dan B From Upstate:

Ken, would you consider playing that spanish version of "Life On Mars?" That... is... spanish, isn't it?

11:08am Dave B:

CRAPOLA - where'd the morning go?

11:09am Cecile:

This is AmazinG!

11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Seu Jorge (sp.???)

11:10am Caryn:

La Lupe has such a recognisable voice, it's always nice to hear her.

11:11am Caryn:

I don't think anyone needs to be told that gif is from "Mars Attacks!", right?

11:12am glenn:

wow. i was sure this was solomon burke.

11:13am Carmichael:

Good morning, Kenneth and rockers.

11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- is it - ?! Musta gone quick
- sure make a Harryhausen fan larf!...

11:13am Cheri Pi:

Carmichael!

11:14am Caryn:

Apparently there's a bus tour of the Bronx where you can hear La Lupe's version of "My Way" as you drive along La Lupe Way (that's E 140 St).

11:14am f○f● (:

Caryn,

Can you also tell home-made animated movie gifs?

11:15am Jennique:

Space Oddity sung in spanish by Hermanos Calatrava is my all time favorite spanish cover song.

11:15am Dave B:

Ken - I was gonna send you this GIF last night. I forgot, so here you go!

11:21am Jennique:

Cool Ken! Heard it on FMU a while back, so I knew you'd have it. I'd love for someone to translate the banter in it. Funny stuff.
@glenn - heard Space Oddity or "Ragazzo Solo" sung in Italian by Mr Bowie on Fabio's show. Bellissimo!

11:21am still b/p:

That bird of prey is getting with this beat with his cool tight moves. Sayin' a lot with a little.

11:22am Jennique:

YAAY! Request played. My morning is made.

11:22am glenn:

11:23am DCE:

ohmygosh!

11:23am Dave B:

is that Senior Wences on backup vocals?

11:23am Cheri Pi:

I can now die completely satisfied. But I won't.

11:23am paulWCBN:

was totally expecting this to be Langley Schools. this might be better.

11:23am Caryn:

There's a well-known Finnish cover of "Life On Mars", but it's not sufficiently different from the original for me to recommend it.

11:23am Dan B From Upstate:

This is amazing! Good call, Jennique.

11:23am Carmichael:

No, it's Herve Villechaise.

11:24am Cecile:

Hey Cecile, guess who!!

11:27am Caryn:

Yay, FOTC!

11:29am hahaha:

"..or do you smoke astroturf?"

11:30am f○f● (:

Jennique,

There were saying a bunch of stuff. I don't even know where to begin. But it appeared to me they were mocking or parodying the original version.

11:30am Mr. Two-Arms:

Fur Immer

11:31am DCE:

Cecile's got the old double-comment button working today

11:31am Cecile:

It's a fmu app bug.

11:32am Jennique:

Ken, Yo La Tengo played Heroes in their WFMU Marathon live request set since they were broadcasting from Berlin. ~nice~
@fofo - thanks for the translation! Always wondered about that.

11:33am Dave B:

@DCE - I see that happen most from the mobile app. The little pinwheel thing that tells you it's busy working is hard to see, sometimes resulting in a double post.

11:33am Tome:

Dann sind wir Helden !!! yaaa oh yaa !!!

11:33am Nick the Bard:

We're not going to hear anything from Ralph Oancitizen's review of The Man Who Fell To Earth are we? I'm going to just guess no anyway.

11:34am f○f● (:

jennique,

Oh, thanks. But I didn't translated anything! I'd listen to this show in its archived version during the week. Next Wednesday I could give you a full account about what's going on if you want.

11:34am Cecile:

It double posts if you LOOK at it.

🚽

11:35am Ken:

Yes, please fofo!

11:35am BDR:

This LCD is the best Eno song in two decades.

11:35am still b/p:

Unfortunately, Bowie in '76 was one of the most discouragingly nondescript concerts I ever attended. More fun a year later when he was backing Iggy in a small venue.

11:35am Chris M.:

THE TINGLER appears!

11:35am Jennique:

Yes please do fofo!

11:36am DCE:

can you buy the tingler from adultmart.com?

11:38am Caryn:

Hey, the tingler!

11:38am jt:

we could be heroes, just for one set

11:38am Andrew Waterloo:

This tingler looks more like a Christian Bookstore product.

11:40am Dave B:

my co-worker came across this just a little while ago. Eno and The Winkies:

www.youtube.com...

11:40am Caryn:

As long as the Barbra Streisand version of "Life On Mars" doesn't rear its head, we'll all be fine. That's all I want. Actually, I don't have anything hugely against that version. It's just boring.

11:41am jmd:

Ha! I knew I recognized that melody! Crazy cover, thanks Ken!

🚽

11:42am Ken:

Oh dontchya worry about that none, Caryn! I shall never smash the Streisand Wall!

11:42am asparagus:

Is there a Fripp undercurrent to this affair. The guitar in the song 2 ago, now this ...

11:43am Jennique:

I'm gonna pretend that I didn't read Barbra Streisand did a Bowie cover. Gonna make my head cave in like when I found out Casey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy.

11:43am neither:

Oh god Ken, How can I favorite the Images too. This Dinosaur is f*** great!

11:43am Lewis:

@Ken - Bold words! what will you do when irony beckons irresistibly?

11:43am Nick the Bard:

thatguywiththeglasses.com...

11:44am jmd:

Thanks Dave B for the Eno link. Never seen that before.

11:44am Ralphine:

Whenever I hear the name Casey Kasem, I think of a little dog named Snuggles.

11:45am Caryn:

@Jennique: hmm, how about this: Toyah was the voice of one of the Teletubbies. Anything happening to the head?

🚽

11:45am Ken:

Lewis, Irony will NEVER beckon THAT loudly.

11:47am still b/p:

If Barbra sang the Manzanera/Eno song "Miss Shapiro," I would listen with reverence.

11:47am Barbra with a B:

I'm gonna call Ken tonight and ask if IT'S MY GODDAM NOSE.

🚽

11:48am Ken:

YOUR nose? My beak is badder than YOURS!

11:49am Barbra with a B:

Exactly. Self-hating schnozzes.

11:49am Rich in Washington:

Fond memories of the DeZurik Sisters. My training as on-air person on KBOO consisted of our then station manager playing The Dezurik Sisters for me. I'd never heard them before.

11:50am glenn:

funny, the six degrees of brian eno thingy doesn't have fripp or daniel lanois that i can see

11:51am Dave B:

Or Talking Head Glenn. I was just discussing that here at work

11:51am Caryn:

@sbp: nope, but for a list of songs covered by Barbra: www.coversproject.com...

11:51am f○f● (:

ken,

About your Q&A show this evening... Are you prepared to tackle the big philosophical questions like "what's your favourite music?" Or "What's your favourite song"?

11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- presume Roxy Music & some too obvious?

11:53am still b/p:

The Eno diagram seems more about anecdotal curiosity than comprehensiveness.

11:53am Webhamster Henry:

More yodels.

11:53am chinchilla:

last 7 minutes request: some PRIEST!!!!

🚽

11:54am Ken:

Hell yes fofo

11:54am Cecile:

I like Babs sometimes.

11:54am Cecile:

I like Babs sometimes.

11:54am G:

Play a Priest, a Rush, and a Barbra track over each other.

11:55am Cecile:

Chinchilla, yeah . Victim of Changes!

11:55am Cecile:

Chinchilla, yeah . Victim of Changes!

Q: What's better than pennies for introducing kids to base-10 math?

🚽

11:56am Ken:

Sorry all, this is my final track! Duane is here EARLY! See y'all next week.

11:56am Caryn:

And oh look, the end of "Black Sunday"! Nice bookend to the gifs.

11:56am G:

fingers and toes. that's where it started, after all.

11:57am Jennique:

Caryn - Teletubbies doesn't resonate as hard with me as Scooby Doo. I found out that Kasem factoid many years after the fact, so that made it worse. Not adverse to Babs, by the way. Always loved her Superman album cover infold. www.caelyntek.com...

11:57am glenn:

geddy lee threw out the first pitch at the jays game last night, a strike right down the centre of the plate. dickey didn't do so well.

11:58am trish:

@G

My hero, zero
Not easy to get to a 100 fingers and toes, though.

11:58am f○f● (:

Sorry, I am just reading the comments about the Bowie Spanish song tribute. I'll translate as much as I can! See you next Wednesday! Thanks Ken! Gran espectáculo el de hoy!

11:59am Caryn:

@Jennique: I think with me it was the exact opposite. Mostly because Kasem did voices, so it was no big shocker. I think the combo of punk/kids' show was more strange to me.

12:16pm cve:

Ken, this suck :/
