Entropy Begins at the Office: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:22am Ken:

Morning early risers!

6:54am anonymphmous:

Morning Ken!

An image suggestion for today's show:

Histomap: Four thousand years of world history in one pic:
http://www.slate.com/features/2013/08/histomapwider.jpg

♥ 6:57am Ken:

Damn anonymphmous, that is quite a map!

7:05am anonymphmous:

a very tall image, isn't? Here's another suggestion (but this time is a musical one):

Richard Nixon plays his Piano Concerto #1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCsGSMze_6Q

♥ 7:36am Ken:

I prefer Nixon's work with his band, The Chowder and Marching Club.

8:15am Okasa:

Good morning Ken. Good morning listeners.

8:17am Cory:

hiya everyone. any theme for today's show, Ken?

♥ 8:23am Ken:

No theme that I can tell yet! Just arrived at the station, REALLY late!

8:27am Cory:

well, as long as the Station Manager doesn't find out that you were late you should be fine.

8:31am Robert:

Wow, everyone's been linking to that Histomap, it seems. I saw it last night, linked from I forgot where; might've been Hit & Run blog.

8:32am Cory:

may I suggest spotify:track:6cCvJ2FHqwtrDgMhSgydw3 ?

8:35am Robert:

The Histomap of Evolution was also linked last night, but my browser doesn't properly display Pinterest pages, which is where it was hosted.

8:38am Robert:

About a year ago, maybe two, I saw a similarly-formatted but much more recent (like up to date) vertical time line map of the political parties in the USA. However, it also had arms crossing in front to symbolize shifts of factions between "left" & "right", like highway overpasses on a map.

8:42am Cory:

I think your listeners might enjoy some Mucca Pazza too

8:43am Cory:

okay, I'm off to paint some miniatures.

♥ 8:48am SeanG:

I'm Ready for this show!

♥ 8:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...we can start
...I'm already Disturbed...

9:02am thedunkel:

Morning Ken , fellow listeners, and bears! All bear gifs today ken?

9:03am Mark S:

This is much better than take 19

9:04am Cheri Pi:

I'm listening with the sound off because I hate the Beatles but I love you guyses

9:04am common:

i concur mark s.

9:04am optimissed:

♥ 9:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

We know Beatles - is RussianKommie Bear :

9:05am fෑ fෑ (:

glutten morgen, danKen & freunde!

♥ 9:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- is reading w/ eyes shut because love Beatles - but love C.Pi anyhow...

9:06am Davee:

Does a bear scratch in the woods?

♥ 9:06am Ken:

Cheri Pi, it's safe to turn it back on now - it's no longer entirely the Beatles - it's about 60% Yoko now.

9:08am -max-:

Longest-time listener, not my first time posting, can't believe I arrived at work on time.

♥ 9:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...they had a good cartoon - what can I say...

9:10am Cheri Pi:

thanks, I'll raise the volume just a titch.

♥ 9:16am duke:

I had Live365 open in another tab and it was playing a message over and over "Please verify that you are logged in and try listening again. 805." It fit perfectly with what Ken is playing.

♥ 9:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

[...Note to self: Make sure always have breakfast *before* gifs....]

♥ 9:16am Brian in UK:

Hell Ken, are people remixing Spike Jones these days?

♥ 9:17am duke:

That smiling lady gif is very disturbing

9:18am KOTJ:

Bubbly eyes to match her bubbly personality.

♥ 9:18am Ken:

Can anybody find me some audio error messages to play on top of this? I think it needs it.

9:18am still b/p:

When there's a little drag-lag slowdown of the gif, those Beatles are walking backwards! And I'm sure there's a message in the back-marching!

9:23am common:

I'm scared.

♥ 9:25am PKNY:

Eddie Hazel!

♥ 9:28am Ken:

Audio Error Messages? Arent there any online? Is my stalling tape all there is?

♥ 9:30am tim from champaign:

Isn't the EAS test was a stalling tape? I assumed DJs threw that on when they didn't have anything queued up.

♥ 9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

What errors has Carl Stalling committed?
- He looks like a nice funny man...

♥ 9:31am Chris in TX via RI:

Thanks Ken. I got some really funny looks here at work during that Creshevsky track.

♥ 9:32am amanda c:

morning! i wanna know what the fatal flaw is for tonight's 7sd.

♥ 9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...more likely a reversed image (Gibson guitar) than a southpaw...
- Lennon had the song 'Revolution' - & also wanted to make an impressionistic sound collage of what the Revolution would actually sound like (#9) - so why wouldn't it be real - ??...

♥ 9:36am Andrew Waterloo:

I was in northern Michigan last week too.

9:37am Robert:

I gather Ken keeps tabs on spaceweather.com

♥ 9:37am duke:

Hal9000 sounds sounds.stoutman.com...

♥ 9:37am groucho:

I just wrote a really long comment about how I thought you'd gone crazy, but my itunes had just skipped over to Ubuweb where there's what sounds like an insane drama student doing his vocal warm=up exercises. glad I checked before sending that message. Good Morning everyone.

♥ 9:38am Ken:

Thanks Duke, but Hal9000 is too famous. I want an anonymous audio error message. On youtube?

♥ 9:39am Wotton Fitzpaine:

hola ken, checking in on ya from england....in gnod we trust, great band from a really shitty part of england

♥ 9:39am Ken:

Where were you Andrew? The Michigan Bad Wax Museum was closed so I was crushed.

9:40am Robert:

I used to be an avid meteor hunter at Perseids time, but the Leonid storm of about a decade ago really spoiled me.

♥ 9:40am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Peace be with you.

♥ 9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Southpaw awlright!:
www.electric-guitars-guide.com...
...Gibson logo gotta big 'N'...on some Fenders I seen a reverse-image 'Fender' logo I think - mayber the Hendrix model for righties?? - tricky buggers...

♥ 9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Roadrunner Roadrunner - jus like SistaRaysaid...

9:44am still b/p:

Well, before I saw the disqualification of HAL and before duke mentioned him....I sent a fair-sized clip of him owning up and promising improvement. Just go ahead and flush it, fling it, forget it...FORGET IT!!!

♥ 9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...not roadrunner - Daffy - whatamI tolkien about...

♥ 9:49am bobdoesthings:

this sounds an awful like a white hills tune.. same chords i think

♥ 9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- ah - 'Gibson' logo is *upsidedown*...& some firebirds reverse-shape even...GuitarFetish no world for a dyslexic...

9:50am Cecile:

Morning, all!

♥ 9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

WhiteHills are Kewl mahn.
...Breakfast...Breakdance...Breakgif...

9:52am Jack:

That dancing plucked chicken would always creep me out when I was a kid.

9:52am fෑ fෑ (:

That's your Roadrunner, Revolution Rabbit Nov63. It looks Wile E Coyote finally caught him.

♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Beatles: beep beep ♪ uh beep ♪ beep
...nooo...

♥ 9:54am Ken:

Hi Cecile!

9:59am Cecile:

Hi, Ken!

At least you're not a vampire!

♥ 9:59am Webhamster Henry:

"I don't know if you're a Jew, but you're "Jew-ish"!"

10:00am mark t:

OY VEY!

10:00am ?:

Totally stealing my Jew story, that's ok Ken ;)

10:00am Cheri Pi:

Cecile!

♥ 10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...s'okay Ken - exactly that happened to BrianEpstein 1st time Dylan & AlAronowitz got him & the Beatles really stoned too...

10:01am Alwx:

Found some good telephone prompt sound effects:

http://www.sounddogs.com/sound-effects/44/mp3/816418_SOUNDDOGS__te.mp3

Someone should build a soundboard out of them. You can find them all om http://www.sounddogs.com if you search for "telephone prompt"

10:01am Cecile:

I think today might be a "Baby Animal" day.

10:01am Cecile:

Pi!

♥ 10:01am Ken:

Hi Tyler - Had to try it out somehow! You said there was a joke inside there somewhere.. is there?

10:02am common:

the new medicine sounds good!

♥ 10:03am Ken:

Yeah common, this track is good. I have no idea about any of the other tracks on it. I stopped looking after I heard this one.

10:03am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

There's a gif for that: www.funnyjunk.com...

10:05am Ahmad:

You should drop that now infamous Kendrick Lamar verse on top of this.

10:05am fෑ fෑ (:

That guy in the dirt bike looks kind of Jew-ish-ish.

♥ 10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...wish I could pull off a rabbi hat like that (Lennon 69-ish)...

♥ 10:06am amanda c:

who knew that 2013 would be such a good year for shoegaze?

10:07am fෑ fෑ (:

I can't believe the Outkast guy gif it's hitting the drum at the right beat. Is it magic?

10:08am Ahmad:

Only listened to that Medicine record once and found it a little uneven. Probably will be a grower.

10:09am fෑ fෑ (:

Well, it wasn't magic. I hallucinated seeing the Outkast guy beating a drum in that lady "this is music" gif.

10:09am KP:

That Gibson Firebird is ironically a non-reverse model. That means the longer of the two "horns" (where the pickguard juts up) is on top. The originals were called reverse because that part was on bottom. The reverse is the classic style and worth more. i guess a lefthanded reverse would have been too much to ask.

♥ 10:13am herb.nyc:

(i just finished listening to 7SD of last wk; abs'ly hilarious. excuse me for mentioning it now, versus 7pm tonite.) wha, CAMERA OBSCURA now? don't take this the wrong way, ken, but this might be the best song i've ever ever heard on yr wed morning program.

♥ 10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- ah - so the reverse was the original
- not the reverse of the original
- & the lefthanded one-off w/ the upsidedwon logo is not a reverse.
...got it...

♥ 10:13am Planet Tyler:

You might beat me to the punchline Ken, I have A LOT to learn about being a Jew first - it might come easier then...

♥ 10:13am Ken:

f0f0 you are babbling nonsense.

10:15am KP:

Oh, and the tuning pegs are on bottom in the reverse Firebird. Probably more important.

♥ 10:15am amanda c:

every comment on this playlist is babbling nonsense

♥ 10:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- he's playing the reverse of the backbeat - anyone can see that...
- seriously Ken - lovely mellow sounds - @ this rate maybe when you grow up you can intern @ KCRW...

10:17am Cecile:

Pretty is putting me to sleep. Noise, please!

10:17am Cecile:

Pretty is putting me to sleep. Noise, please!

♥ 10:17am maestroso:

This QR is rather adorable.

♥ 10:18am βrian:

Can someone post an all-clear when the auto-tune has run it's course. Dios mio.

♥ 10:18am DCE:

this is the one good use of autotune, ever

♥ 10:18am amanda c:

autotune is the worst : (

♥ 10:19am DCE:

why, though is a 6 year old singing about wanting somebody back?

10:19am common:

hate the auto tune...but this is so strange it works for me.

10:19am Ghengis Jung:

I wonder what she's singing about

♥ 10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- yes - but *w/out* the autotune - ??...
- hell w/ it - let's just put someone else's kids in yer photoalbum...

♥ 10:20am rsj:

such tender auto tune

♥ 10:20am duke:

Is making a 6 year old sing with autotune child abuse?

♥ 10:21am Dan B From Upstate:

Hmm... If Ken plays stuff people say they hate and never plays stuff people say they like, what will happen with that auto-tune song? The reviews seem pretty mixed.

10:21am Negative Eclipse:

very large red triangles better

♥ 10:21am Ken:

The autotune comes later Duke - That's big Blood's daughter btw, that sweet autotune tune.

♥ 10:22am rsj:

the gif seems to be transcending the sonic barrier of the screen! just as the arms do the stucco wall!!!

♥ 10:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Irritainment is the Reverse of RequestRadio.
Maybe.

♥ 10:24am βrian:

ClearChannel never plays my requests. Why, oh why?

10:25am Cecile:

YES! Noise!

10:25am Cecile:

YES! Noise!

10:26am Cecile:

Stupid f'ing app...

♥ 10:27am Andrew Waterloo:

@Ken we spent a day in Mackinac

♥ 10:28am Webhamster Henry:

Ghana Post Office Stampers are always appropriate.

10:28am still b/p:

Mrs. Effingapp = good character name in book or film.

♥ 10:28am βrian:

Note the dynamic contrast when the pinky hits the Q key.

10:29am Sam:

See that seems like it would make postal work more fun, for a while, but after a while it would be totally completely unbearable.

10:29am Cecile:

Andrew, how'd you like it?

♥ 10:30am βrian:

Oh, Michigan. From Mackinac to Paw Paw. From Bad Axe to Climax. How I miss thee.

♥ 10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...the reverse of the backbeat...forever stamping forever stamps...so are the days of our lives...

10:32am Robert:

Mr. Peanut looks like he has a mouthful. What do you suppose Mr. Peanut snacks on? Pretzels? People?

♥ 10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...in his time, Burroughs could never come out as married to Mr.Peanut...

♥ 10:33am egal:

Sometimes a peanut is not a peanut.

10:33am Robert:

He's so stuffed he must've dropped his monocle.

10:34am Sam:

Which do you think is worse, cancelling stamps all day, or being one of those old-fashioned operators plugging and unplugging cords all day and saying "Please hold"?

♥ 10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...it *is* Burroughs - stamp all over my crap joke whydon'cha...

♥ 10:34am tim from champaign:

Brian - I used to live in Michigan right in between Paw Paw and Climax.

10:34am Parq:

Ken, I may be wrong, but I think she is saying that she "wants to use Quest", a big corporate medical lab service -- as in, their giant hypodermic needles hurt much less than those of other, lesser labs.

♥ 10:34am Mike Noble:

The University of Ghana is the oldest and largest of the thirteen Ghanaian universities and tertiary institutions. It was founded in 1948[2] as the University College of the Gold Coast, and was originally an affiliate college of the University of London,[3] which supervised its academic programmes and awarded degrees. It gained full university status in 1961,[3] and now has nearly 40,000 students.

10:34am Maria D:

By the way, I think the Quinnisa Rose track is brilliant, but I also have a 6-year-old girl, so may lack credibility

10:35am Sam:

Shouldn't it be the University of Ghana at Accra or something like that?

♥ 10:35am Mike Noble:

I agree with Parq. I used to do data entry for Quest Diagnostics, and "Quest" is what I heard.

10:35am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Mr. Peanut has a similar 5:00 shadow as Fred Flinstone and Homer Simpson.

10:35am Uke Goldberg:

I thought Lexi said she wanted to use Quest as in Quest Diagnostics (where you get blood tests to see if you are using drugs among other things)

10:35am still b/p:

And Burroughs Corp. made typewriters. The path of connectivity here has point, purpose and peanut.

♥ 10:36am βrian:

Do you mean "Paw Paw for Jesus" Paw Paw?

♥ 10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...is living between PawPaw & Climax as good as it sounds - ??...

♥ 10:37am barney.grubbs:

U Ghana is #26 on the list: www.4icu.org...
and the top university in Ghana:
www.4icu.org...

10:37am fleep:

Mr. Peanut is lacking his monocle. I smell imposter. Warm, salty imposter.

♥ 10:37am amanda c:

i wanna know if andy called you on monday to plan the show this week

10:37am Robert:

Burroughs must be Peanut's cx for narcotics. Look how Peanut's looking at him, like, come on, time for a fix already, I think you're cutting mine.

♥ 10:38am SeanG:

paw paw negro blowtorch

♥ 10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...between PawPaw&Climax - it's where the ForeverForeplay stamp is issued (reverse printing esp. valued - altho' totally Wrong in every importatnt sense)...

♥ 10:39am herb.nyc:

you say HALF-BAKED, about 7SD tonight? from "the graduate", ben tells parents he's marrying mrs. robinson's daughter, but when the idea seems outlandish, mom says "this sounds half-baked". ben replies "oh no, it's completely baked!".

♥ 10:40am Ken:

I was near Peroskey, on Crooked Lake, part of the inland waterway

♥ 10:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...ghana freakout soon...

♥ 10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...you're makin' up all these MI names - like dumb wordplay's supposed to ahmuse me er somethin'...

10:43am Mark S:

Rock n roll!

♥ 10:43am βrian:

Is this not Chet Baker?

♥ 10:43am Ken:

Petoskey! just like that Merle Haggard tune, Oskey from Petoskey.

10:43am Sam:

Cool, even the dog's wearing a crepe!

10:43am Parq:

We appear to have reached consensus on the Lexi question.

♥ 10:43am βrian:

Petoskey. Like the stone.

♥ 10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I think I see Jesus' face in yer - face...

♥ 10:44am Rev. Turnip Druid:

This Daniel J. piece is magical as hell.

10:44am still b/p:

Bobcat Goldthwaite's sounding good here.

♥ 10:44am paul b:

Ken, this Daniel Johnson song is scaring me.
Also ... Better than half-baked; twice-baked. Zwieback. mmmm Zwieback toast.

10:44am Robert:

I suspect the Quest Dx is from one of those ha-ha in-house industrials. Jean Shepherd played a recording of a similar industrial show where patients were singing about how enjoyable their major surgery was with the sponsor's disposable surgical gown.

Industrials like that are high camp, not meant for the general public, but an inside joke for those in the business.

♥ 10:45am βrian:

The Zilwaukee bridge is a portal to another universe.

♥ 10:45am tim from champaign:

I have no witty rejoinder about living between Paw Paw and Climax. I tried but I got nuthin. Better than living in Butt Town. That's for sure.

RRN - Michigan doesn't even exist. It's all made up.

♥ 10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I still say Danny-NeilYoung-Sabbath-Hawkwind
- the only Tour - the only Band we shall ever need...

♥ 10:46am Ken:

Where DOES the Zilwaukee bridge go?

10:46am Cecile:

RevRab, those are all real names.

♥ 10:46am Ken:

And Jesus Chrost, I saw Saginaw last week! It's like the city from Omega Man!

10:46am KOTJ:

Same old, same old. Flippity floppity.

♥ 10:47am Rev. Turnip Druid:

HE'S PLAYING MY SONG!

10:47am Sam:

Now that Detroit is bankrupt, shouldn't it just become part of Canada? They'll get it fixed back up in a couple years and take the guns away.

♥ 10:47am Rev. Turnip Druid:

[opa-loka will forever require exclamation marks & all-caps on this thing.]

♥ 10:48am Rev. Turnip Druid:

also: love love love that bush=obama street art gif. Twelve thumbs up.

♥ 10:49am Mike Noble:

I just learned I'm going to miss the DC Hawkwind show because I have to attend a gravestone unveiling in New Jersey.

♥ 10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid:

I'll be there Mr.Noble. Will freak-the-hell-out on your behalf.

♥ 10:52am Mike Noble:

hey rev, got any local pals who want my 2 tickets?

10:52am fෑ fෑ (:

hawkwind! Yeah! I came back in the right time!

♥ 10:52am tim from champaign:

What day of the week did you go through Saginaw, Ken? Almost all Michigan cities look like the city in Omega Man on Sundays.

Here's more MI names for you RRN - White Pigeon, Breedsville, Mesick, Cement City, Tecumseh, Otsego, Ann Arbor, Mentha.....

10:52am Uke Goldberg:

I still say Lexi said Quest, not Crest.

♥ 10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- I love it too
- but the same as when Duhbya left office? I think not.
- & don't forget the TeaParty in the House obstructing everything & keeping Govt. dysfunctional. Congressional elections every *two* years ( - Congress matters too, not just the Prez).
...Sorry to get all Democratic serious, but...

♥ 10:53am AnAnonymousParty:

Isn't Podunk in Michigan?

10:54am Don S:

i like the Terrorvision gif!

♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

tim: Nah - those are DJs & Programs on the other streams...

♥ 10:55am Rev. Turnip Druid:

@Mike: I think folks I know probably pounced on tix like rabid ferrets but I'll do a quick survey...

♥ 10:55am Ken:

yeah Tim, it was a Sunday in Saginaw = Scary!

10:55am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

"If you don't know who I truly am, then I suggest your next course of action would be to tread lightly."

10:56am Cecile:

Donken, Donken Heights, Sagola, painesdale, Christmas, Tapiola...

More MI names

10:57am Cecile:

Ken.. "Slaginaw"

♥ 10:58am tim from champaign:

Don't forget Battle Creek or Battle Crick as the locals pronunce it.

♥ 10:58am βrian:

Don't forget Hell, Michigan. And up north: Paradise Point.

10:58am fෑ fෑ (:

holy crap. didn't realised this is the Wildman Fisher's Circle!

You're god damn right.

♥ 10:59am Ken:

Yay!! We got Breaking Bad fans here! It's my dream come true!

10:59am Cecile:

And Gay, home of the Gay Bar!

♥ 11:00am Rev. Turnip Druid:

...whereas simply breaking "bad fans" has a different connotation which could be fun.

♥ 11:01am Carmichael:

Hiya Kenneth and viewers. Bears are idiots.

♥ 11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

All hands on the bad one.

♥ 11:02am Andrew Waterloo:

@Cecile had a really good day in Mackinac. It's the first time I really explored the island. My daughter was in horse heaven as well.

♥ 11:03am βrian:

There used to be the Crow Bar in Cross, Michigan, but I think it's long gone.

11:03am Cecile:

Also, Gaylord. And Ypsilanti!

♥ 11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I don't got cable - 'BreakingBad' is the poo is the word it seems. Izzit online? I like 'Grimm' on NBC 'cause I get that on converted digital antennae...

11:04am Cecile:

About a day, maybe 2 is all you need. And I love the horsies, too!

♥ 11:04am Ken:

Jesus Rev Rabbit, grab it off a goddamn torrent and catch the fuck up!

♥ 11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

We love Gaylord @ FMU...

♥ 11:05am northguineahills:

TMNT, ha!

♥ 11:05am βrian:

Oy. I haven't seen BB either. Cable-free as well.

♥ 11:06am Carmichael:

You F*cked up, Walter. Now let me die in peace.

♥ 11:06am Dan B From Upstate:

Every episode through the first half of season 5 is on netflix instant, as well. $8. Hard to beat. First month is free. Marathon it and cancel if need be.

11:07am Fernando M Pacheco:

yeah! Get a torrent and a fix o meth, but the blue one, please.

♥ 11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I'm just a low-rent guy inna rural place man - I'm like yer Mom w/ this 21st Century stuff
...&/or the series - ?? Several seasons is too much...

11:07am fෑ fෑ (:

I'm TV free. I won!

♥ 11:07am βrian:

Televisions have theme songs?

11:08am paulWCBN:

that's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme! i'm surprised you've played that so many times and hadn't figured out that that's what it is

♥ 11:08am northguineahills:

Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles

♥ 11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- not if you don't have one...

♥ 11:09am Planet Tyler:

ABQ methheads are no fun, they break into your apt and steal your wfmu record bag to put your stolen laptop in

11:10am fෑ fෑ (:

Any methhead that stoles wfmu record bags is fun enough for me.

♥ 11:10am Andrew Waterloo:

@Cecile, Between the island, and Mackinac city there is quite a bit to see. Just always took it for granted when it was in my backyard.

11:11am Ghengis Jung:

telephones are terrifying!

11:12am KOTJ:

Telephone by Capt. Beefheart...."It's a plastic horned devil."

♥ 11:12am Ken:

Heisenberg aint no methhead!

11:13am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

I'm terrified of people knocking on my door.

11:13am trish:

You can ignore 'answer me now!'
You cannot prevent saying a friendly 'hello' to a robot.

And I don't say friendly hellos to robots. Fucking stupid machines.

You're goddamned right!

Yeah, Tonetta!

Agreed, telephone calls are of Satan.

RRN63, the seasons are short. Easy show to mainline. Also, I hear good things about Banquo, a French drama, free on Hulu.

♥ 11:15am Carmichael:

Ken, is there supposed to be something to the left of the bear gif? I see a little red x'ed box, and a couple of keystrokes: ">

What does it all mean?!?!?

11:15am quinn:

KEN I LOVE YOUR SHOW

11:15am Okasa:

Probably not worth mentioning, but it seems you have some janky html code at the top of the playlist around the scratching bear gif.

11:15am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Me too Carmichael, some bad code up top.

♥ 11:16am Caryn:

Okay, gif check:
-Dancing Daffy is from the cartoon "Person to Bunny"
-Dancing turkey is from the 1932 Mickey Mouse cartoon "The Whoopee Party"
-Diane Franklin as Suzy Putterman in the horror comedy "TerrorVision"
-Chris Wilson in Ted Leo & The Pharmacists' video for "Bottled In Cork. (yo, Scharpling, the video has a John Hodgman cameo!)
-the cowbell is from the video for the Beastie Boys' "Hello Ladies"

Jennique: Knocks on door - Hell ya! But that's another story...
- The Commentsigentia have mentioned a few Contempo BritComs I know nothing of...

♥ 11:17am Carmichael:

Ken, I'll need to spend all day today at work investigating your claim. I'll report back during 7SD, when I'm fired for violating company IT policy.

♥ 11:17am tim from champaign:

Don't answer the door, especially if it's ol' Methmouth there to sell you a broken box fan and the lid of a coleman grill.

oof, thanks! fixed that bad code.

♥ 11:18am Caryn:

Oh, and Blade Runner.

Voltaire choked out a "Let me die in peace" to his last rites priest and refused to take the host - and died. Graceful, me thinks

Bad code!

They actually made it listenable.

11:20am common:

that's pretty great.

♥ 11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- this captures so much about the late 70s...except for the making it listenable part...

♥ 11:21am Planet Tyler:

Graceful? I meant BADASS

11:21am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Watching the Blade Runner chicks dancing to this mashup kinda makes sense.

Hello, Quinnie. I miss you.

Phew, read through the comments. My thoughts?
-Tapiola in Michigan got its name from Finnish immigrants.
-hell yes to all the Breaking Bad talk!
-@Planet Tyler: didn't Voltaire also, supposedly, respond to the priest's advice to renounce Satan before he died that "this is not the time to be making enemies" or something?

11:33am fෑ fෑ (:

My playlist is not being updated. Am I the only one with this problem ?

11:34am trish:

@fෑ fෑ
Same same. Stuck on the Bladerunner hockey mask dancers.

Late comer here. Hey Ken!

Caryn, don't know but sounds like him. Strangely he *was* obsessed with being buried in hallowed ground though.

I know, @optimissed. But somehow it just ain't the same...

♥ 11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

'Satan' means Adversary, does it not? Probably (? - etymology is tricky stuff) related to Saturn & Set.

11:37am fෑ fෑ (:

Pheww, trish. I though it was just me hallucinating the playlist wasn't self-updating. By the way, am I the only one seeing the Andree 3000 gif above?

♥ 11:37am Caryn:

Oy with the gifs!
-the godawful "Son of the Mask"
-Outkast's "Hey Ya!" video
-boxing granny is from the 1931 Little Rascals flick "Fly My Kite"

Just tried to fix it - all went back to my broken breaking bad code code. code.

11:40am Cecile:

As were Toivola and Pelkie.

Adding the comment cycled a manual refresh.
Notice there's no currently playing info in my player, too.

11:40am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Andre 3000's head looks too big for his body, like it's disconnected or something. You know who else had a disproportionally large head? Nancy Reagan.

11:42am quinn:

i miss you too mike!!

♥ 11:42am SeanG:

there's a Mission of Burma song about Nancy Reagan's head

11:42am Ahmad:

No information in the player here, either.

Did you hear the whip-poor-will in the Michigan woods?
clomedia.ornith.cornell.edu...

♥ 11:45am tim from champaign:

I was thinking the same thing SeanG. Isn't the gist of the song that there is nothing more terrifying than Nancy Reagan's head?

11:46am Cecile:

Jenn, he's not only slight in frame, but he could use a few more lbs on him.

♥ 11:46am Caryn:

@Cecile: Toivola is clear, but Pelkie just raises questions. I wonder what they were going for there?

♥ 11:47am fred:

Nice vanity plate, Ken. My official public service pay grade is 666. I was pretty pleased with that when I got a raise two months ago

11:48am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

@SeanG - I'll have to check out that Nancy Reagan song. Sounds funny.

11:48am fෑ fෑ (:

what the heck is this? It sounds great!!!!!

That Boom Bip piece was the bee's god-damned knees.

This sounds like Jim Morrison's sober younger brother. With the same billowy shirt, of course.

♥ 11:50am Ken:

So wait, shit is still broken with the song titles and the page updating and whatfor?

11:50am Okasa:

The crop of gifs this week has been inspirational. Nice curation, Ken.

yeah the singer is haunted by the freakish size of Nancy Reagan's head

Yeah, Ken, the page doesn't update unless I comment. Is this a clever ploy to get everyone to comment actively?

Everything in my browser is fine.

Best Billy Joel song!

This William Joel cover is frightening. And yes, the playlist and pop-up player are still not refreshing.

11:52am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Is that Billy Joel finally cracking? Rocking back and forth at a Casio keyboard?

11:52am fෑ fෑ (:

Boom Bip is also great! Too bad I haven't found anything to download from that album.

Oh, noes, sorry people. I asked the "what the heck is this?" in a kind of rhetorical way.

11:52am Cecile:

I dunno. It is fun to say the words "Pelkie Co-op" in a thick U.P. accent, though.

Working fine for me. I'm using IE9.

OK Caryn, you're up for the wheelchair gif.

11:54am paulWCBN:

Zatumba?

11:54am fෑ fෑ (:

And yes, the playlist is self-updating with no problems whatsoever!

The real problem now is that the show finishes in about 6 minutes! Alas!

OMG! That rendition of For the Longest Time is the best thing EVER!

Baby animal!

11:56am Cecile:

Excellent!

♥ 11:57am Rich in Washington:

Ken, is that track available somewhere on WFMU's blog catacomb? Would LOVE to have it.

11:57am Okasa:

Every single night, I get down on my knees and pray to the almighty that Ken will play just one piece of good music. Maybe next week...

11:57am common:

yes. that's a great loop you got there, ken!

♥ 11:58am Carmichael:

Thank you for a code-filled, music-laden, auto-refreshing day, Ken.

11:59am fෑ fෑ (:

Okasa,

I don't think that would ever happen. Ken always plays several good musical pieces in each of his shows.

The day he plays one good piece of music I'm gone to Irwin.

11:59am Uke Goldberg:

Quest, damn it!

12:01pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Ha ha Okasa!

12:02pm fෑ fෑ (:

thank you very mucho tutti! Auf Wiedersehen and au revoir!

♥ 12:02pm Caryn:

Hang on, Carm, need to update the playlist to see this wheelchair gif you're talking about.

♥ 12:22pm Caryn:

Oh, that'll be performance artist Pavel Petel. Damned if I get the artistic meaning of this, but, hey, what do I know?

♥ 10:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Pay no attention to the curtain behind the man.
