I Just Want My Childhood Back: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 8:44am maestroso:

Morning Ken,
I'll be pledging momentarily.

Tony - Is that on vinyl or CD?

8:47am Robert:

I'm still waiting for my client to get the funding to pay me and the scientists in Germany for work we did months ago.

8:53am Robert:

Wow -- they pledged another 1% based on how broke I am, apparently to make up for my deficiency!

9:25am Okasa:

♥ 9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...oh yeah - 9-figure lottery - & we'll Rawk!...

♥ 9:27am dc pat:

OH MAN. Obvious choice to follow up Santo. I was going to suggest but all I could think of was "that Fabio tune."

♥ 9:27am egal:

Carmina burana-ish.

♥ 9:27am dc pat:

I'm with Okasa. subtlety is good sometimes

9:28am KOTJ:

I have no heirs....maybe I can will to FMU, KXLU, and of course...WZBC

♥ 9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...leapin' lizard..dancin' daikaiju...behemoth boogie...catastrophe cantor...

♥ 9:34am northguineahills:

I had no idea this was Morricone originally either. The Tino Contreras track sounded eerily like a Morricone track.

♥ 9:34am common:

I wanna dance with godzilla.

♥ 9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...dinosaur dalliance...

9:35am KOTJ:

These song are making me think of Burundi Black

9:35am fred von helsing:

9:44am KP:

Ibid.

♥ 9:44am Irene Trudel:

Runaways! Yesterday I got to shake Joan Jett's hand. She was interviewed for Soundcheck and said she still has a soft spot for the Runaways (and was singing along to the track we played off mic). Still cool!

♥ 9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Alex DeYorke...loves Saint-Saëns & ultra-disturbing gifs...& fish...

9:44am Fern:

9:45am Cork:

YES!!! Cherry Bomb !!! Brat Mobile have an awesome version of Cherry Bomb too!

9:45am fred von helsing:

JJ was on reddit AmA www.reddit.com...

9:46am F⋚F⋚ (:

I read the interview in Spanish and nowhere Tom Yorke says "Spotify is like the fart of a dying corpse" like some media is reporting. He said something that sounded similar but boring. So in someway I approve of the misleading news info.

♥ 9:46am amanda c:

i'm a sucker for shameless begging.

9:46am fred von helsing:

@irene awsom :-D

9:46am KP:

9:54am fred von helsing:

9:57am glenn:

EVERYTHING is a euphemism for masturbation. which is good for comedy writers. right, ken?

10:00am fred von helsing:

♥ 10:01am dc pat:

10:09am KOTJ:

10:12am bw:

10:17am fred von helsing:

Opera sung by crickets

♥ 10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...are they gonna do 'Peggy Sue' - ??...'Heartbeat' - 'Listen to Me' - ??...

10:18am Sam:

Yeah really, crickets slowed down sounds like opera? How do we know this isn't a scam?

♥ 10:18am G:

Is this the first time Ken ever played Buddy Holly?

10:18am KP:

Buggy Holly and the Crickets.

♥ 10:18am DCE:

sounds like something from Lord of the Rings...Elf song...

10:18am Tom:

sounds suspiciously like 'jesus christ superstar'

♥ 10:18am amanda c:

i just called up my coworker and said, "ken's making me listen to crickets. wanna go smoke a cigarette?" and she said, "why the fuck do you donate money to that station?".

♥ 10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I want to believe.

♥ 10:20am bobdoesthings:

I wish it was only the slowed down version.. not the correct speed over it

10:20am glenn:

i AM interested, but i don't have time to read it now. thanks dcp.

♥ 10:20am G:

Gregorian Chant, call your office.

10:20am Jesus Christ Cicadastar:

Nice huh

♥ 10:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...an Ode to Robert Anton Wilson ?...I've owed him $5 for years...

10:21am F⋚F⋚ (:

amanda, you could answer her: "Because I love crickets!!" And then laugh manically whilst rubbing your legs together and making cricket sounds. Then she will understand.

♥ 10:23am dc pat:

huh, finding more evidence of this cricket chorus thing...

10:24am Sam:

Really you give money to WFMU so it will survive because what else is there? NPR is underwritten by fucking oil companies!

10:24am Robert:

That's not Robert ANTON Wilson, is it?

10:27am jan:

You mention the new WFMU app, so I go to the App store and '"WFMU Radio" could not be downloaded at this time.' The old app seemed to work better.

10:27am the entire cast of Starship Troopers:

enemy propaganda

♥ 10:28am duke:

I want to be in a band where I can play potato chip

♥ 10:28am SSS:

Just what is this guy doing with Jesus blood, huh? I'm just askin'

♥ 10:28am Station Mgr Ken:

That's weird Jan - are you on 3G and not Wifi by any chance?

10:28am F⋚F⋚ (:

Send your pledges for more chirping sounds, peoples! If we pledge enough perhaps we could have a 3-hours cricket special show!

♥ 10:29am Ken:

Either that Jan, or are you on iOS 4 or earlier?

♥ 10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...um - *you* can have *those* ruffles...

♥ 10:29am dc pat:

that cricket recording appears to have been "embellished" from what I can see...

10:29am Parq:

Jan, try going to the "Update" tab in App Store (last button on the right, on the bottom toolbar) and update your existing app.

♥ 10:30am Webhamster Henry:

Are there any mashups featuring "Jesus' Blood'?

♥ 10:31am dc pat:

Ken, another complaint: the FMU app has NOT given me my childhood back yet...

♥ 10:32am pocket vito:

I got the app -
But it's still the same crap!

♥ 10:32am G:

The comments board is as close as any of us will ever come to childhood again.

10:32am Parq:

By the way, what are the last two lines, the ones that come after "His blood never failed me yet"?

10:33am cuspidor:

app works on my android

♥ 10:33am G:

"never shall be chaste?"

♥ 10:33am dc pat:

"at least I think I know, what the fuck I'm talking about.."

♥ 10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- see G - app works...

♥ 10:34am Webhamster Henry:

"this one thing I know, for he loves me so"

♥ 10:34am Marcel M:

This song is amazing..

10:34am steve:

this Jesus Blood commercial is a little over the top

♥ 10:35am Station Mgr Ken:

Pocket Vito, sounds like you still have the old version - the working version is 3.0.1 - not version 3.0. Version 3.0 is a piece of shit and its all Andy Breckman's fault. But version 3.0.1 works great.

♥ 10:35am Webhamster Henry:

This song was once available in the WFMU Catalog of Curiosities.

♥ 10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...some restrictions may apply - side effects may include but are not limited to....

♥ 10:35am dc pat:

just got the update. Took about 3 seconds. Now I'm listening to Bryars in time warped stereo.

♥ 10:36am Ken:

Henry - I have a 60 second and a 30 second version of this song.

10:36am cool disco dave:

My friend rob tells a story about how he played this song at sub audible levels over the PA system of his art history final.

♥ 10:37am common:

so, what's gavin gettin' at?

♥ 10:37am Webhamster Henry:

The album long version keeps adding layers of more orchestrations and sometimes, Tom Waits.

10:39am as:

yes beautiful song

♥ 10:39am MD:

This piece always gives me goose bumps...Makes me think of one of those sad 1950's English movies....???

10:39am JD in Case:

If you want to sing along: http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858745946/

♥ 10:39am holland oats:

the old 'dj needs to go to the deli' trick

10:39am F⋚F⋚ (:

This is like that Flipper song. It never ends.

♥ 10:39am amanda c:

speaking of Andy Breckman messing things up, what's the plan for tonight's 7SD?

10:40am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Here's an illo I did for a different Cricket Voices album: 1.bp.blogspot.com...

♥ 10:40am MD:

For Phil Chevron??? RIP..."Thousands are Sailing!"

♥ 10:40am dc pat:

This kind of thing is usually right up my alley. I bought it long ago but it never really hooked me for some reason. It doesn't work for me...

♥ 10:40am Rick from SC:

If I favorite this "song", will it end?

♥ 10:41am Ken:

Tonight's a new detention episode of Seven Second Delay.

♥ 10:41am G:

Was this recorded in a closed ward?

♥ 10:41am Ken:

Yes Rick, it will.

10:41am F⋚F⋚ (:

MD,

What sad 50's English Movies you are talking about?! I reckon that was the era when British films were fun! ha!

10:41am cool disco dave:

Wow those crickets are quite something huh? Who would have guessed?

♥ 10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Way kewl jenniQuE !

10:42am neither:

this is becoming a religious experience for me... really...

♥ 10:42am Rick from SC:

done

♥ 10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Let him go !
We will not let him go !
Let him go !

10:43am Sam:

Ken, this is amazing. You're like a great tour guide who knows exactly where to stop along the musical landscape and sprawl out for a while.

♥ 10:43am G:

Nothing really matters to me.

10:43am Howard Phillips:

Madness! Unspeakable Madness. Wait, it is speakable, it is this song over and over again.

♥ 10:43am common:

mama mia

♥ 10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me.

♥ 10:44am MD:

You Know...David Lean vehicles...always Rainny the way I like London...someone sadly leaves or dies or both...or maybe spys....yes my wife thinks I should be on Meds...!!!

10:44am Neg-guh-tor:

My brain is skipping!

10:44am Parq:

I'm adding my praise for this track. It could go on all morning and that would be fine with me.

10:45am w41:

What a beautiful and inspirational song! Like a fresh summer breeze on the day of your death.

10:45am Thibault:

10:46am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

The image for Jesus Blood made me think of this one minute animation: www.youtube.com...

10:47am Green Mountain Man Mark:

I am happy to be here live for Ken's show. No job because of funding cuts. Won't be able to go to the record fair this year. But I am still going to pledge something this month. My mom dropped off a fresh pig head on the porch.

♥ 10:47am duke:

I decided to go to church because of the previous song.

♥ 10:47am Stevel:

The praying broadcaster sounds suspiciously like Rex.

10:48am Sam:

What if they prevent a traffic accident in one town and cause one in another town?

♥ 10:48am dc pat:

Ken, does FMU take donations in the form of pig heads n' such?

♥ 10:49am bobdoesthings:

no sean.. not me.

♥ 10:50am G:

FMU's quota of pig heads is full already :)

♥ 10:50am common:

ken, you've done the lord's work.

♥ 10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...dog...cow...pig's head...

♥ 10:51am G:

apparently the crickets were infected.

I want to be named Dr. Bootygrabber & bring live mice & pig's heads to the young Cherie Currie. Oh yes....goes w/out saying of course...

10:58am Green Mountain Man Mark:

yes. the cats are useful. we have three and they even keep other wild animals away such as skunks and moles and woodchucks.

♥ 10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...them too...

11:01am KP:

what's this, it's great, i think i'll order it ... oh i have it. EVERY DAY

♥ 11:02am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Cats make the good Reverend sneeze like an unchained bag of burning ferrets. But if they also could hunt neighbors' children, I'd consider one.

♥ 11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...bigger cat may work...

11:03am F⋚F⋚ (:

Ken, it's time to admit cats are loving creatures too. Don't say "my cat loves me" Do say: "I love cats so much".

♥ 11:03am Ken:

I do love cats. I just dont think they have any place on the World Wide Web.

♥ 11:03am kirk from beer city usa:

just punching in... where the hell's tim from champaign? he's missing gnod!

11:04am Green Mountain Man Mark:

Chickens are another useful animal. besides the obvious eggs and delicious meat they give, they eat unwanted bugs. If you have a fly problem a couple of them will eat up all of them in a few hours. but my wife doesn't let me bring the cluckers in the house.

♥ 11:04am Ken:

Cats CAN hunt neighborhood children. My pal Paul Miller had a cat Abraxus who did that. Terrified me.

♥ 11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Nice cat kirk.

11:04am Fern:

Gnod IS God!!!

♥ 11:05am Stau:

The Gnod song is Run-A-Round

11:05am fred von helsing:

Chickens is dumb. Trust me.

♥ 11:05am Roberto:

Personally, I'm more annoyed by all those cat-free sites I keep coming across.

♥ 11:05am Rev. Turnip Druid:

AMEN to that, Ken (re: cat-free internet)
also, the Gnod track is fabulous.

♥ 11:05am Ken:

Mark, you should get a pet raccoon to play with your chickens.

♥ 11:05am MD:

Dog Gone? God Here???

♥ 11:05am βrian:

Timing is key when letting chickens in the house. They clean the peelings off the floor, but if you wait too long, they start leaving things behind.

I am throwing a penny into the Heisenberg pond and making a wish while I watch the ripples.

Chickens in the spring clear the leaves from around yer plants

A cat-free internet would be run by the NSA.

♥ 11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

They want to make dinosaurs by turning off more recent chicken genes - a Chickensaurus :

- but ethics prevents them from bringing the eggs to term...

11:07am r i s k y:

KEN! WOO!!!

♥ 11:09am Webhamster Henry:

hey Ken, as long as we're being repetitive this morning, how about a few cuts off the WFMU Locked Groove opus "Running In Place"?

♥ 11:10am G:

Repetitive? I hadn't noticed.

♥ 11:10am Stau:

Hey. It's the Farmers Insurance dude!

♥ 11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Repetitive? I hadn't noticed.

11:13am F⋚F⋚ (:

Typed "cats" in the Google search engine and this is what I got:

About 1,470,000,000 results (0.27 seconds)

For a planet that has 7 billion people I'd say that's not enough cats.

...is there a cat goes after subwoofers in cars? Oh - this is them...

11:20am Green Mountain Man Mark:

I loved when Liz Berg and Keili did the boom song. Now every time I hear it I think of them doing it.

♥ 11:21am MD:

REV...would our childhood be the same Withou the Disco??? This from a guy...who used to own a "disco Sucks" tee shirt...

♥ 11:21am kirk from beer city usa:

L'Trimm! how could I have nearly forgot about them? this will hard to follow up.

♥ 11:21am Whosondephone:

I still just can't believe this song!

11:22am Robert:

This one always puzzled me. I assumed they liked to laugh at someone whose car backfired in a specific memorable episode.

11:22am paulWCBN:

i have this L'Trimm album on tape and i played it on a road trip with my friend and he absolutely hated it. the whole thing can be hard to listen to, but i don't see how anyone could not love this song

♥ 11:23am Stau:

That Disco gif syncs perfectly to this

♥ 11:23am βrian:

Yes, even if you hate the actual cars that go boom, you gotta love the song.

11:24am Green Mountain Man Mark:

The cars that go boom song is very popular in the middle east.

♥ 11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...it'd be one thing if they played Bach organ or John Entwistle thru subwoofers...

♥ 11:25am G:

@GMMM: I guess that joke is da bomb, huh? :p

♥ 11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Haha Mark!

♥ 11:28am northguineahills:

Me too, GMMM (about Liz & Keili's version)

11:30am Okasa:

I've always assumed that Ken has his 'dance' gifs organized by bpm and matches them to the bpm of the song. But I also assume that Ken can transport small items through time and space.

11:30am People Like Us:

Yayyy, great intro! LOOP

♥ 11:32am dc pat:

MMMMMEEEERRRRIIIIIIDDIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSS...................

♥ 11:32am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Clicky-starring the living hell out of this Meridian Brothers thing.

11:32am Robert:

That was the other interpret'n (I was thinking more Mafia than Middle East), but it didn't seem to make sense that they would like guys who get blown up in their cars.

11:32am KOTJ:

My claim, Meridian Bros. are better than Khlam.

11:32am Green Mountain Man Mark:

I like seeing Ken do talks with audiences not necessarily associated or who don't really connect with wfmu. He is so good at talking and sounding professional. But please, Ken. Don't ever do a TED Talks.

♥ 11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- them strong werds KOTJ...

♥ 11:33am dc pat:

...with Bo Diddley gif to boot...

11:33am F⋚F⋚ (:

KOTJ,

Oh no, dear Sir!! We need to compare oranges to oranges, apples to apples. Having said that:

Khlam > T.A.t.U
Meridian Brothers > Aterciopelados

11:33am Robert:

I haven't listened to "On The Media" in years, but I enjoyed it too, mostly to laugh at them for trying to be cool but really being so clueless while they tried to do stories about how the REST of the media were so clueless. Have they improved?

♥ 11:34am Rev. Turnip Druid:

What DCP said (11:32). With more caps-lock and a super-big-gulp espresso.

♥ 11:34am northguineahills:

Follow the miner to the scale? anybody that doesn't speak gringo spanish want to help me w/ the title?

♥ 11:34am Station Mgr Ken:

yes Robert, its a great show now.

♥ 11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Ken complimented NPR! That's like Zappa falling in love...

♥ 11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...is it me - or is her bra Godzilla hands giving the finger?...

11:41am F⋚F⋚ (:

Okasa,

So wait a minute..My theory says is only an illusion we see the Gifs synch with the music. I mean, how come they synchronize so nicely with the music if each Gif loads in our own computers? An animated gif starts beating only after it is 100% loaded (and loading depends on the internet).

My other explanation theory explores this phenomenon through a magic lens.

11:41am Okasa:

I'm pretty sure Frank was deeply in love with Gail and his children. His definition of 'Love' just had nothing to do with not sleeping with groupies. And nothing to do with how 'Love' was portrayed in pop songs.

♥ 11:41am Ken:

Hey! Im doinf comedy this Friday Night at the New York Comedy Club at 9pm and I need ten people to come out so I can get into the anti-comedy union. Its 241 East 24th Street between 2nd and 3rd. Come to the show! I will buy you a drink.

11:42am Green Mountain Man Mark:

seems like the parrot after the condom head girl gif should have a condom on its head too.

11:43am Emile:

Nice ken

♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I didn't say it didn't happen Okasa!
...Gif~music synching an example of 'entrainment' - don't say it doesn't happen !...

11:45am Okasa:

@F⋚F⋚ (, yeah, but once the gif loads, it plays at a fixed bpm, which will sync to a song played at the same bpm. Or, Ken is fiddling with your optic nerves using some very advanced tech only available to DARPA and WFMU.

♥ 11:45am Caryn:

Sheesh. Computer issues here, but luckily I finally managed to get here. So, speedy gif check:
-Saturn is from British marionation show "Space Patrol"
-"Shingeki no Kyojin", whose whole wall plot kinda reminds me of "Game of Thrones"
-monkey drummer is from the music video for The Avalanches' song "Frontier Psychiatrist"
-the cockroach band is from the movie "Joe's Apartment"
-"Breaking Bad" and "Oz" all in a row, nice! Sheesh that "Oz" musical episode...
-disco dance instructions from Åke Blomqvist (aw, he just died a while back...)
-Coleen Gray in "Nightmare Alley"

♥ 11:46am Ken:

No, I have not tagged my dance GIFs with the proper BPM but someday I shall. For now I try to beat match visually. But enough about ME! Who is coming to the comedy show Friday night?!!

♥ 11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

www.soundfeelings.com...

11:47am Green Mountain Man Mark:

Ken, I wish I could be there for the act. REALLY wish I could be there. It would be awesome to see. But I can't. Reason is I live in the middle of Vermont and it would cost. But if I did go I would take that drink. AND wear my 7SD where's my two dollars shirt.

11:47am Okasa:

Oh Ken, please don't shatter all of my illusions.

♥ 11:49am northguineahills:

Darn, I'm already going to a show on Friday, and the gf is out of town. I'll send my doppelganger.

♥ 11:49am Ken:

OK Tim, I wont shatter your illusions, if you come to my comedy show Friday night.

♥ 11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Is Heckling still free?

♥ 11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Did you say free nitrous?

♥ 11:51am G:

Yes, if you heckle enough you get a free drink thrown at you.

♥ 11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...by that woman in the tube dress - ??!

11:52am Green Mountain Man Mark:

Man, we need a bullet train that goes from my house and directly to Ken's comedy act. And it to be free for guys with long hair and beards and who keep being asked if they are the guy from Duck Dynasty. Boy I wish I had a nickle for every time some jack ass asks me or tells me I look like the guy from Duck Dynasty. I would give all those nickles to wfmu during rocktober.

11:54am Emile:

Hey listeners, I've been to a Ken Freedman comedy show and you DON'T want to miss it!
