8:30am Dr. Goot:

www.youtube.com...

8:36am Cory:

Let's see... SuperPope, "I Will Break You", oh wow I'm on Blu-ray (i'll let you know the release date.), people have literally been setting the middle east on fire for 300,00, College Player's Union, Lego Google,... I'm on too many pots for this.

🚽

8:42am Ken:

Cory you are making no sense whatsoever. Take another marijuana. I am fucked people - I need long songs too. Hep!

🚽

8:46am Ken:

Guess what? Today there is a new feature for people who are logged in to the WFMU Friendship Society - you can now favorite pictures!

8:46am Cory:

Okay, I hope I don't have an Overdose. Faust, Stooges, Sun Araw?

8:56am maestroso:

Long songs? Might I suggest some Magma?

8:57am Planet Tyler:

Morning Ken, I have GIFs to send you AND, if you want it an MP3 of a tape I made 1995ish named "Best of JM in the AM" These web only people don't know what they are missing

9:03am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Hello and good morning, Ken and fellow listeners & gifgazers!

9:04am fred:

@Ken: how long is the SSD Pete Seeger obit?

9:05am glenn:

macarthur park, of course. all other maudlin ballads bow to it.

9:05am m:

Pete Seeger died? :(

9:06am still b/p:

Ya got music to shine shoes by? I'm gonna shine two pairs of shoes shortly.

9:06am glenn:

lemon kittens are great.

9:07am jan:

one ton of mayo.

9:07am fred von helsing:

anything by "Canadian rocker Bryan Adams" oughta be maudlin enough to cause brain tumors

9:08am pierre:

Bonjour Ken and everyone…

(yaaawwn this sleep has been good)

9:09am Sammy Maudlin:

Bryan Adams was on my show once.

9:09am Brendan:

I think we meed some Leonard Nimoy stylings of 'If I Had a Hammer' in honor of Pete. He would have wanted that.

🚽

9:10am Ken:

Long time no Pierre! Why you waking up so late?

🚽

9:10am Guido (Cologne):

Welttraumforscher from Swizerland.... much too cool.

Hi everybody!

9:10am Bill Shatner:

Nobody wants that, trust me.

9:12am All Those Alien Chicks:

But we want you, Bill.

🚽

9:14am Ken:

Im glad you all like the OWL! I modified it myself!

9:14am pierre:

many reasons, well one being that I tried to make WFMU listened to my new (soon old) workplace… and those narrow minded people just wanted gypsy jazz played, and some consensual music… I tried, I tried, but I failed.

So I decided to sacrifice my sociality and take a headphone, and now i'm more than happy. I'm finally amongst friends, family, great curious people.

I feel like a plant having water again.

I'll be around way more from now on.

9:15am call me darling:

So pleased with myself to make the Station Manager Ken scene this glorious Wednesday and am being generously rewarded. Ken, word slipped yesterday that you are hoarding a black velvet painting collection for the end times emergency investment. Would so love to see those treasures. If you could order a painting, what would the subject be and the dimensions?

9:15am Cory:

Marry Me Bill?

9:15am DeForest Kelley:

Damn it Jim, we need to hear that pointy eared vulcan singing Pete Seeger. I,m not a singer just a doctor

🚽

9:15am Guido (Cologne):

Die Welttraumforscher is a pun using a double-'T':
WeltRaum-Forscher: outer space – scientists
Welt-Traum-Forscher: world – dream -scientists

9:15am fred von helsing:

Did KenzoDB get the reboot in the A.M. ? AFAICT it's been running like a top since the last upgrade.

9:16am fred von helsing:

@pierre Aw-right !

9:16am Planet Tyler:

@Guido THANKS

9:18am Marcel M:

Wow Xiu Xiu really nailed this cover... hehe

9:19am Mott:

can someone explain this song?

🚽

9:19am Ken:

For those joining us late, you can now favorite images as well as songs! Thank you Kenzo!

9:19am marmalade kitty:

I'd like to hear morrissey sing Nina Simone

9:21am Planet Tyler:

FMU friends might be interested in these pics of 1980s hi-fi equipment (including Ken's walkman idea) I found: www.flickr.com...

9:22am Planet Tyler:

What do you do with all these stars? Does the station use the data for anything?

9:22am common:

where the hell did you find the wormhole song, ken?

9:23am marmalade kitty:

Kenzo is being overworked!

9:23am DCE:

that is just god awful

9:23am dale:

HAH HAH HAHHHHHHH! poop. doesn't get any better

9:23am hamburger:

(poop into a wormhole) heard a story of this on On the Media hah. Wasn't a huge surprise to find that he did the Andy Breckman song!

9:23am glenn:

speaking of the 80's, the mac is 30 years old this year.

9:23am Cory:

wormhole? www.etsy.com...

9:24am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

pierre,

Just give it a try once more. Please play out loud the Poop song to your work colleagues.

9:24am LovecraftDude888:

pee into a Black Hole yeah yeah gravity will crush you oo oo I thought I won a Hope Sandoval magnet last night on here..but I guess not I was misled

9:24am Sam:

Hello Pierre! I love that story! Good luck getting a French office to agree on WFMU.

9:25am Cheri Pi:

Pppppiieeeerrrrrrreeeeeee!

🚽

9:25am Ken From Hyde Park:

We can't (currently) favorite images from past shows.

9:26am Brendan:

The sound of one hand clapping

9:26am Planet Tyler:

Spaghettified poop...there must be a GIF...

9:27am Mott:

where'd he find these backup singers?

9:28am agitating wave:

Ken, give me the service tag number from your Dell and I'll check to see if I gave telephone support on it when it was new and full of bugs.

9:29am Cory:

I think Ken took some of my pots.

9:29am P-9Ø:

@everyone here gather-ed: Good Morning. Can't wait to see who's going to drop dead today. These things are said to occur in threes. An apparently endless cycle of threes.

@Lemon Kittens: great name! haven't heard the band yet.

@Ken: the moment I read the phrase "most maudlin" I flashed immediately on "Alone Again Naturally" by one "Gilbert O'Sullivan" (Oddly jovial moniker.) I'm working on identifying something equally maudlin but more WFMU-friendly. If I have any luck, I'll post it

🚽

9:29am Guido (Cologne):

... and by intention you even put the perfect GIF, didn't you?

9:30am dale:

if i recall it was an accidental obit spurred by the death of his dear wife and the ensuing confusion

9:32am common:

wasn't the smother's brothers show live?

9:32am Michael:

Not to be over-corny, but I could use some "Banks are Made of Marble" right now (as most mornings).

9:32am Marcel M:

I remember in No Direction Home he talks about confusedly unplugging something that had nothing to do with the amps.

9:33am Rick from SC:

why not play lots of version of little boxes?

9:33am canola crayons:

@common SB had a live studio audience.

9:34am P-9Ø:

@dale: Toshi died too? Bummer...!

9:34am Sam:

When was this on?

9:35am monodons:

Pete's the reason I learnt to play the banjo...

9:36am fred von helsing:

Pat Paulsen for President !

9:36am Marcel M:

Ken asked Trouble to play this, but I donno if she would have thought it was too funny.

9:36am Lizardner Dave:

I miss the Happiness Hut.

9:37am common:

thanks canola. i thought so.

9:38am jan:

Ken, are you going to play the entire hour of Seven Second Delay? If you do, can we have an hour of fresh Ken show this evening?

9:38am Sam:

I guess the date rape reference stayed in. Viva the first amendment.

9:39am SSS:

Pete and all those guys were originally against the US entering WW2, but as the truth and enormity of what the war was about, they vocally reversed their position.

9:39am P-9Ø:

@fred von: Pat Paulsen's DEAD too.......oh man

9:40am dale:

ken - still taking long song suggestions? wizz jones 'one grain of sand' written by pete. it's no poop into a wormhole, but....ya know.

9:40am the glowing one:

Ken was absolutely right.

9:41am Pete Seeger Jr:

Somehow I am not anymore amused.

9:41am Marcel M:

play The Last One by Les Rallizes Denudes for a long one

9:41am pierre:

@Fofo/Sam : Problem is, yeah, I've tried everything, but absolutely no one will give it a chance for more than 10min.

Now my personal saying for wfmu is "if you don't like it…wait" this radio has its ways of making something on your brain. But those people are way to stuck into one single pattern of thoughts, which is "music should make everyone happy" "and being consensual"… looking at that I'm thinking, well, it's might be better that way. I'm keeping the lovely radio for me.

@ Cheri Pi : Cheeeeerrrrrihihihi !

9:42am fred von helsing:

@P-9Ø Yup a bad season for visionaries huh

9:42am P-9Ø:

At least Pete Seeger lived long enough to hear an obituary for himself dissolve into an extended "date rape" routine.

9:44am SSS:

It is amazing to me how we no longer recognize our prophets.

9:45am fred:

Dietrich to MES, well played Ken

9:45am fleep:

Prophets recognized in their own time are rare. We like 'em dead, then we get all weepy.

9:46am Elisa In Italy:

Hi Ken! Hi everyone!!

9:46am adminthee:

Speak with Accounting.

9:47am Cheri Pi:

This song is dedicated to DCP@

9:47am fred von helsing:

@fleep and if they ain't dead yet there's plenty o'nutters out and about :-O

🚽

9:47am Ken:

Hi Elisa! Say hi to Elisa everybody! I still owe her for not believing in her.

9:47am Elisa In Italy:

9:48am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Elisa in Italy is now in da house!! Welcome back.

9:48am common:

woo. mark e!!! quite the mug.

9:48am Planet Tyler:

Someone should make a Mark E Smith text-to-voice robot

9:48am super bean soaker:

@SSS They are recognized and then promptly imprisoned.

9:49am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Talking about DCP..where is he/she? Haven't seen him/her for a while.

9:50am still b/p:

I had Tuscan kale last night. Maybe Elisa grew and harvested it.

Bettye LaVette's birthday today. Li'l sumthin'?

🚽

9:51am Guido (Cologne):

Hi Eliza!

Whow M.E.S.!!
*LOL*

9:51am common:

@planet tyler: great idea!

9:51am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Who has carrot cake?

9:52am P-9Ø:

@Elisa: Ciao Elisa!
@P.Tyler : or a Mark E. MARK t to v ribot

9:52am Elisa In Italy:

I wish I lived in Tuscany and I grew kale. I live in the North East...near Venice and Verona. Tuscany is where all the artists and musicians are.

9:52am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

pierre,

Forgive them, for they do not known what real happy music is. Anyway, I appreciate your missionary efforts.

9:53am pgw in mntclr:

i guess 50 is the new hex induction hour

9:53am P-9Ø:

@Elisa: Venice can be fun too

9:53am KT:

I fixed my name!

Ken, did you a bring a swimsuit today?

9:54am Cheri Pi:

Carrot cake? let the salivating begin.

9:55am not fit for consumation:

Hello mia Bellezzina Elisa.

9:56am Elisa In Italy:

CIAO P-9Ø, Guido (Cologne), not fit for consumation!!!

Venice is fun! Carnevale or Mardi Gras is coming up and I make it fun! :)

9:57am Dominick:

Sandy Bull !!!

🚽

9:57am Ken:

Hi KT! Thanks for fixing your name. You are right! Andy and I both need bathing suits! Dont dorget, Seven Second Delay listening party tonight with the Denver Broncos at the Hyatt in Jersey City! Tell the cops you are there for the Andy Breckman Suite!

9:58am MD:

The Devil went down to KY...he was lookin for a soul to steal!!!

9:58am bobdoesthings:

I thought this tune was called Excalibur?

9:59am fred:

@Planet Tyler: maybe a new Vocaloid character, complete with MES-as-anime

10:00am Pine:

Another awesome carmen cover on FMA freemusicarchive.org... something spooky about this made all teh tracks stick in my head for days at the time

10:00am Planet Tyler:

I see we all have need of a MES SIM

10:01am P-9Ø:

Still working on a "most maudlin" song. I checked, Charles Aznavour apparently never recorded a spoken-word "Seasons in the Sun" or "All by Myself". Maybe Rod McKuen did a version of "Billy Don't be a Hero", searching now, stand by

10:01am Planet Tyler:

We could send into Second Life to terrify the populace

10:01am Elisa In Italy:

Anyone see the line up for the Primavera Sound Festival? I'm saving up and going!!!!

🚽

10:01am Webhamster Henry:

Is there a super cut of Duelling Banjo parodies?

10:01am KevinfromBayRidge:

MES- 50 years of blissfully dentist-free existence.

10:01am Owlex:

Is the favorite image feature new? I haven't noticed it before.

10:01am Marcel M:

Slowdive is playing

10:02am dale:

steve martin did a dueling banjo for solo.

10:03am Elisa In Italy:

@ Marcel M: YEAH!!

10:04am Elisa In Italy:

@ Ken LOL!!!

10:05am KOTJ:

Best/worst muadlin ballad....Bright Eyes A Perfect Sonnet

10:05am the glowing one:

It's ok, Ken. It's ok to hate his voice.

10:05am MD:

BUT WFMU ...HAS A HAMMER!!!!!

10:05am pierre:

c'est pas grave Ken :)

10:05am dale:

i hate when people want the audience to sing along. reminds me of grade school - so didactic

10:05am common:

i love steve martin's playing. i was just given a banjo. man, it's fun. even though i can't play it.

10:05am Nardo:

I'm with you on that one Ken.

10:05am Marcel M:

@ Elisa are you gonna go? I hope they play NYC

10:05am Brendan:

That what leonard Nimoy is for

10:05am listener james from westwood:

so no chance of his zillion-stanza cover of the internationale, then?

10:05am Pedro:

First-time caller, long-time listener.

10:06am Brendan:

A surrogate voice

10:06am fred:

@KevinfromBayRidge: the Shane McGowan school of dentistry

10:06am robyn:

one would hope the late pete seeger would not demand lock step adoration of his voice.

10:06am Dave in PA:

RIP Pete Seeger!

10:07am dale:

i have one common - tried guitar but i have little girly hands and couldn't get my fingers to reach the right strings. a four string is fun, although i only managed to learn polly wolly doodle

10:07am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

What a great and rare event it is happening now in the comment section. So many great posters showing up today. Elisa, Cheri Pi, pierre...It's like witnessing the transit of Venus.

10:07am Owlex:

WFMU: broadcasting 7 months in the future

10:07am KOTJ:

You nailed it Ken...My Mom made me suffer through the respectable yet horrid Seeger. No more Guantanamera, mom please... I think they play that over and over at Guantanemo

10:08am glenn:

mandolin is a good instrument for girly hands.

10:08am bobdoesthings:

Why would you file them under "A" for advanced... when it comes time.. wouldn't it just be an on-time obit?

10:08am KevinfromBayRidge:

Ahead of the curve or self-fulfilling prophecy?

10:09am Skirkie:

I went to Exchange Place last night. The whole neighborhood is in lockdown. Cops everywhere.

10:09am Elisa In Italy:

@ Marcel M: Yes, I'm going to try. I figure since I'm not lucky enough to live in NYC, I must at least go to Primavera.

10:09am rerun premier:

There is no one I respect more than Pete Seger but I just can't stand to hear him sing. There, I said it! thanks for the safe venue to express my deepest feelings Station Manager Ken. Yur check is in the mail

10:13am still b/p:

Free form wiring. Don't wear wet shoes.

10:14am Skirkie:

I hear a lot of lip service and not a lot of, you know, bribe service.

10:14am rsj:

glad to hear it! and i hope your warm feelings are not misplaced

10:14am KevinfromBayRidge:

All on Andy...guess those Monk residuals are fucking great.

🚽

10:15am Webhamster Henry:

This backing tune is reminding me of The Nutley Brass.

10:15am bobdoesthings:

hahahaha Marcel M!

10:15am Mark S:

HaHa! Hyemen & Metalfunkel

10:16am dale:

do the creators and writers get residuals? i thought it was just actors. now if he OWNS the show...

10:16am Elisa In Italy:

Hey Ken, wishful thinking but it would be a dream if you had the WFMU hotel. WFMU members could get a discount.

10:16am Yair Yona:

I want to buy all Hyemen & Metalfunkel albums. where should I go?

10:18am jan:

"Paranoid" by Hyemen & Metalfunkel - arresting song. And voices very much listenable.

10:18am Pedro G.:

You should play the Dylan obit hour now just to see what's missing. If it ends with him just releasing Under the Red Sky or something, you could tack on the whole Soy Bomb/Minor League Ballpark tours era.

10:18am fleep:

@dale Yes, writers do. I got a residual check for 56 cents last year, for a script in the 80s.

10:20am Elisa In Italy:

Ciao F●•۰F●•۰ (:

🚽

10:22am Station Mgr Ken:

Yair - they are on soundcloud

🚽

10:22am Webhamster Henry:

I'm sorry that I got fat.

10:23am KOTJ:

Diddy Tongue Twerk

10:23am the glowing one:

BoNO!

10:25am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

We are just 13992 songs away to play the entire Mark Farley's catalog.

10:25am jan:

Dan Wison and the Sorry Apology Songs aren't exactly mellifluous male vocalists...Pete Seeger's voice would fit in nicely amongst theirs.

10:26am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Matt*

10:26am Planet Tyler:

I'm sorry I pooped in the wormhole

10:26am Roberto:

I've tried the medicating-myself-for-parties approach. Problem is i think I've built up a tolerance.

10:27am Michael:

@SSS: As I heard it told by Seeger in an interview, he and friends really wished we would get involved in the Second World War, but until the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union the Party told the not to advocate for that. They even, evidently, created an album (literally--78s) of songs against our intervention, but didn't release it before the invasion, at which point they all said 'Thank God.' and wrote and released a bunch of pro intervention songs.

The experience may have marked the start of his drift away from the Party, slowed by blacklisting but accelerated by Khrschev's revelations.

10:27am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Salve, Elisa!

10:27am bobdoesthings:

Ah!! the brooklyn jerk center is 3 blocks from my apartment!!!

10:27am Pedro G.:

Is the mayor of Jersey City a big Broncos fan? NPR said as much. Then again, NPR should never talk about sports because it always comes off as overcompensating. Except for DeFord.

10:28am Pedro G.:

First-time caller, long-time listener.

🚽

10:29am AnAnonymousParty:

Finally there's a place in Brooklyn where you can get some decent Caribbean spices.

10:29am Marcel M:

Bob, is that the Jerk chicken place?!

10:29am Elisa In Italy:

@ F●•۰F●•۰ (: :) :)

@ Everyone at WFMU are you going to be at the Primavera Sound Festival? It would be nice to meet up with you.

10:29am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Welcome, Pedro G.!

10:30am bobdoesthings:

nahh the good jerk place is called Exquisite.

10:30am fleep:

Meat dealer. Not grocer, not butcher. Meat dealer. It sounds like someone with steaks hidden inside a trenchcoat.

10:30am Marcel M:

Ahhh, but of course.

10:30am bobdoesthings:

not sure what the jerk center is about.. now I will investigate! (Probably won't beat Exquisite Jerk Chicken)

10:30am monodons:

Ha! It's not the Ultimate Jerk Centre, that's in Brixton

10:31am common:

@Elisa: I wish!

10:31am Michael:

The S.S.D. event sounds like a setup for a Ken-and-Andy version of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"---much fewer drugs and less danger, but loads more depression and verbal aggression.

10:32am Mike Noble:

did someone eat too many scotcheroos this holiday season?

10:32am Roberto:

Anyhow, the more musical incarnations of Matt Farley I hear, the more his life experiences seem to resemble mine.

10:32am fred von helsing:

speaking of mayors have any of them checked in their stories for their free wfmu t-shirts ?

10:32am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Elisa,

Nah. I'm saving for the Jerk Sound Festival.

10:33am french rubbermaid:

@fleep I remember going with my mom to the meat dealer, a butcher that stored your personal meat in his freezer. We had a cow butchered and would go into the meat vault and get what we needed for the meal. Very very cold room. Shelves upon shelves of other peoples meat.

10:33am KOTJ:

We were f**king corndogs

10:34am common:

pretty sure i work at the jerk center...i gotta find a new gig.

10:36am Marcel M:

This is my favorite Jokerfan song so far

10:36am Planet Tyler:

Southwest just found their hold muzak

10:36am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Ken,

Have you found anything from 'Moes Haven' (a.k.a. P & O Jokerfan guy serious band)?

10:36am bobdoesthings:

jokerfan's swansong

10:36am Elisa In Italy:

When and where is the Jerk Sound Festival?

10:37am TWA:

We'd trademarked the phrase, "We're sorry."

10:38am fleep:

@Elisa If you mean Seven Second Delay, later on today.

10:38am rsj:

sometimes i think brooklyn itself is the global jerk center, but then i think about the immediate surrounding areas

10:38am USAir:

We bought that trademark, we just refuse to use it.

10:40am Stevel:

I have heard nothing creepier than the opener of Apology at Bedtime.

10:40am Planet Sorry:

Sorry!

10:41am athletic exorcisism:

I think Dick is going to drive me to suicide

10:41am Mark S:

Fuck you daddy!

10:41am common:

@Stevel: just thinkin' the same thing.

10:41am Stevel:

...not to mention the rest of it.

10:41am DCE:

BAD DAD

10:41am Elisa In Italy:

@ fleep. Thanks for clarifying unfortunately I can't go :(...I guess everyone else is joking about Jerk festival...oh well.

10:41am MD:

But now you are a Beach Boy...and famous...so you should thank me!!!!

10:41am Dominick:

stupid stupid stupid

10:42am Stevel:

Without Dick, thousands of therapists would go without work.

10:42am common:

Hee hee!!!!

10:42am Nardo:

This is a big hit on the Vatican Radio Network.

10:43am dc pat:

dang. I missed all the songs I wanted to hear. Should I stick around anyway?

10:43am Planet Tyler:

Sorry, this is the Jerk Center, not the Dick Office

10:44am Planet Tyler:

@dc - stick around for the songs you'd want to miss

10:44am bobdoesthings:

Murray Wilson cover song

10:46am rsj:

he's got a pony tail, maybe hide that sign about hippies?

10:47am Elisa In Italy:

Must go back to work. Cheers!

10:50am Brenda Lee:

I guess I'm not sorry enough for y'all?

10:50am the glowing one:

Just the postman? I hear that a lot. No-one's happy to see the postman anymore. That must be why they go postal so often.

10:50am Connie Francis:

@ Brenda, oh, never mind . .

Oh man I was hoping you'd play this.

PI!

10:58am Pedro G.:

I want a WFMU Good Guy t-shirt that looks like the jackets Rex, Spazz and Company wear. Get on it for the Marathon.

10:58am KevinfromBayRidge:

Hey! the Liverpool theme song!

11:00am Bubba:

Liverpool!!

11:00am BDR:

Scousers.

11:01am dc pat:

Anybody see that derby match yesterday? 4-0!

11:01am big juice outlets:

@KevinfromBayRidge lucky for you it's not NW FL or you would be running in the snow.

11:02am fred von helsing:

holy crap this is great

11:02am jan:

11:03am kimgland:

11:04am KevinfromBayRidge:

Yeah, do enough of that back in "Jerklyn"

11:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

I hear the smog problem in China these days is so bad they they're considering a ban on firecrackers. How fast can I patent a firecracker app for smartphones? Need to get that done before Chinese New Year.

11:05am the glowing one:

Really fast.

11:05am dc pat:

wait a minute...they're actually saying "love is a vicious circle"

11:06am fred von helsing:

überfantastische

11:06am Brendan:

Love will tear us apart sounds like the alternate universe wormhole version of love will keep us together by the capn and tenille

11:06am rsj:

don't use the hippy sign!

11:07am Red E. Kilowatt:

I'll kick the electrical inspector's ass.

11:08am Planet Tyler:

What if the electrical inspector comes to the right door and finds Ian Cat not sorry for pooping in the wormhole?

11:09am bugger:

Dont knock the back door unless you've tried it

11:09am cotton fingers:

@Reddy Kilowatt Your not 'grounded' in reality are you?

11:09am sir Paul McFartney:

Some ones knockin at the door

11:10am P-90:

@whooda: still pondering this gentleman who "stored your meat in his personal freezer"

@ Michael : thanks for clarifying that Seeger & Co. did not really oppose US entry into WWII, rather were put in a conflicted position by their ties to The Party. The real opposition at the time came from conservatives; the Republicans in congress successfully blocked US engagement in the defense of Europe from their pals the Nazis. Pearl Harbor broke that logjam, or we would have stayed out until too late.
Which should be remembered every time Republican candidates for office claim theirs is the party that's been "strong on defense"

11:10am dc pat:

yes. Liverpool. It says "You'll Never Walk Alone" right on the jersey.

11:11am dc pat:

11:11am Mark S:

11:12am Parq:

OK, that explains it. I used to have an album recorded at the 1970 or 1971 Isle of Wight festival, which included a recording of the crowd belting out "Never Walk". Always used to wonder what that was about.

11:13am dc pat:

upload.wikimedia.org...

11:15am Fred R:

"You'll never Walk Alone" can be heard as a chant in a Liverpool match which Pink Floyd superimposed at the end of the song "Fearless" back in '71.

11:16am common:

oh man. the ian cat thing is great!

11:16am Brendan:

Link Wray ish

11:17am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Good point, Fred R.

11:19am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth and all superb owls. Ken, can you play the Nimoy song about Bilbo Baggins? It seems to fit your twisted ideas of entertainment.

11:21am Parq:

Hmm. come to think of it, Fred R, that Pink Floyd track is the cue I'm thinking of, as well. The Isle of Wight things seems to be another of my middle-aged invented memories.

11:21am Nate K:

This is slick. Is there anything Pete Rock can't do.

11:21am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

A-ha, Parq!

Maybe the Floyd used that recording for Fearless. I'd like to know if there's a relationship between them.

11:21am louie the rat:

11:23am Webhamster Henry:

Glad you're getting back to Nina Simone, after a fashion.

11:24am Nate K:

Ken, were you and Andy able to line up an interview with Peyton Manning for later?

11:25am bibi:

oh boy, i just realised it is also possible to starclick gifs. you made my day.

🚽

11:25am Ken:

Nate, his name is actually Manny Peyton, but yes.

11:27am Carmichael:

The inventor of Peyton Place, by the way.

11:27am Sam:

Alright!

11:27am still b/p:

Couple of people I know were talking about playing a show in the local juvenile detention facility, and one suggested doing the songs that Johnny did in prison performance. I dunno if the overseers would sign off on that.

11:28am Mr. T:

I PITY DA FOOL

11:29am Sam:

They should sing "Fuck the police" and "Girls just wanna have fun"

11:29am Nate K:

Congrats. Manny is what we call a "get."

11:29am tightly throttled:

@still b/p B.B. King's prison album is really bad, don't let your friends do any covers of that one.

11:30am bobdoesthings:

Am I missing something.. what is the marijuana bowl??

11:31am Planet Tyler:

@still - After they paly juvy, they can play a mental hospital and do Cramps covers

11:32am Whooda:

@bobDT Both Washington and Colorado have legalized pot.

11:33am Cory:

is there any bohemian rhapsody laying around?

11:33am fleep:

On Twitter look at #stonerbowl

11:34am Dan B From Upstate:

I think I found a problem with the ability to star the pictures. They don't seem to be sizing correctly. The one on the nina simone track is gigantic on my computer.

11:34am Sam:

Speaking of which, can we smoke in the hotel room?

11:34am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Oh, I see. It should be renamed to 'The Super Bong'.

11:35am still b/p:

Yes, it could become the One Time Only Tour, or the Early Hook Every Time Tour.

🚽

11:35am Ken:

Of course you can, Sam! There is a $250 cleaning fee for doing so, but that's what Andy Breckman's credit card is for.

11:36am Sam:

I love Hollywood money!

11:37am Pine:

speaking of smoking I think I need that maggots track

11:37am skink finger:

foofoo @Someone did a photoshop of the trophy reconfigured as a bong, or so I hear.

11:38am bobdoesthings:

@Whoda - thank you! I get it now!

11:39am fleep:

skink finger,

Great to know. Btw, there are like 4 other users using your avatar. It seems very popular among people in this comment section.

11:41am Moanin Star:

Thanks Fleep. "superbowl" almost writes itself doesn't it?

🚽

11:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

Nice passport, Finland. Where's Caryn at today?

11:42am Sem Chumbo:

Finnish passport, bah...the Canadian passport flipbook has Marty McSorley beating the crap out of some lame Ranger.

11:43am Pine:

Irish has a cool hold up to the light your face in dots thing.

11:45am Laszlo:

Yess!!! my favorit song...

11:47am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Perhaps that would explain why the forged version of Finnish passport doesn't catch on. It has an animated pig instead. I think that's the one from Denmark.

11:49am Nate K:

Fake sitar jams. Yes!

11:49am Nate K:

Sitar-sploitation

11:49am LovecraftDude888:

sorry Ken been busy and preoccupied this a.m....not on much. arghh now not getting stream action

🚽

11:49am Webhamster Henry:

I bet the sitar record I lent Ken a few years ago got covered in sewage during Hurricane Sandy.

11:51am Sam:

Being covered in sewage just gives it that authentic Indian street sound

11:51am Nate K:

Any chance you're going to re-tell that story about how you accidentally insulted the sitar player who played completely sincere "fake" sitar jams.

11:53am LovecraftDude888:

yep bit chilly here that snow owl must be in his glory. snowy? whatever he is. That's what I looked like until I got out the famous Norelco electric earlier....

11:53am bibi:

the north korean one has ...
no, sorry.

11:55am ccrides:

Great show, Ken...:)O(:..

11:56am Ray Stevens:

I'm working on something called "Sitarzan".

11:56am F●•۰F●•۰ (:

Oh, noes. The show's almost over. Thank you very mucho, Ken.

Enjoy your SSD session today and I hope you guys have the time to wreck the entire hotel (it's on Andy's credit card, anyway). Good luck!

See you all till next episode everybody !

11:57am gentle vacuum action:

I can face another week Station Manager Ken. Thanks for reviving my will to live. Hope your electrician detective arrives soon.

11:58am MarcoFromSunnyside:

Not much talk about the WFMU hookers from Ken's WFMU hooker-stable here. Is that a good or bad thing? Anyway thanks for a great morning, Ken!

11:58am bobdoesthings:
