RE: "A GIF Too Large To Show Once The Show Begins", I like that band's other song "Too Long for Vine"off their album"141 Characters For Twitter".

🚽

8:45am Ken From Hyde Park:

The too-large image - blogfiles.wfmu.org...

🚽

8:45am Guido (Cologne):

*LOL*

8:47am Guido (Cologne):

Latest hit:
"A GIF much too small for being of relvance"

🚽

8:51am Ken:

Good move Ken from HP! You're thinking ahead!

8:51am davex:

That's a gif that keeps on giffing.

🚽

8:52am Ken:

And I'm so glad I've finally figured out a use for the GIFs that are too big to post during a show!

9:01am common:

good work, ken!

9:01am davex:

Smooth transition today - no Hatikvah (no hope?).

🚽

9:02am Guido (Cologne):

Smothest transition between shows.

9:02am thedunkel:

did the building inspector come?

🚽

9:04am Ken:

The building inspector is HERE!

🚽

9:04am Guido (Cologne):

Serge!

9:05am Brian C.:

Hope the inspector isn't as much of a @#$% as the ones in my town

9:06am thedunkel:

awesome - force him to play full contact musical chairs on SSD tonight…

9:06am mariano:

Those hips... that bass line... such good sync!

🚽

9:07am bbell:

It looked like "Bulldog inspector" the first time I read it. Good luck with your bulldog inspection, Ken.

9:07am mariano:

Force him to play full contact musical chairs on LSD.

9:07am listener james from westwood:

Very cool to be listening to WFMU for the 1st time while on vacation. All hail the WFMU Internet stream!!

9:08am common:

all hail vacation!

9:10am dale:

only let the inspector into the areas he's supposed to inspect. a lot of times they like to poke around where they aren't allowed in hopes of finding something unrelated. they are only supposed to check out what the permit was for, so don't let him know you were running a tattoo shop on site

9:10am βrian:

Nice noise!

9:10am Sem Chumbo:

Burning horse. Gotta love animals on fire.

🚽

9:10am Ken From Hyde Park:

If it's not cloudy at 2AM tonight, you might see an asteroid pass in front of a bright star - www.occultations.org... ... assuming you don't have city lights blotting out all the stars.

🚽

9:15am Guido (Cologne):

Good Rock'n'Roll satire the lyrics ("Your Haircut and Your Guitar")
How many guys think that's enough to impress girls and annoy fellow bandmates with their vainity?

9:16am still b/p:

Musical tattoo parlor chairs, with or without LSD. Now you've got a game with free-form take-away outcomes.

9:17am still b/p:

Why are we fighting?

🚽

9:17am Guido (Cologne):

Rolling Sones on Altamont sample?

9:17am common:

peeeeeepoooooool! sisters! brothers! chill out! thanks, mick!

9:18am bibi:

hi ken & kenyans. first gif is brilliant.

🚽

9:21am Guido (Cologne):

vicious remix - *LOL*

9:24am KOTJ:

Why couldn't it have been Ashton Kutcher?

🚽

9:26am Ken:

The Inspector is Downstais and i am DYING to KNOW if we PASSED.

9:26am bobdoesthings:

g'morning all

9:27am Cecile:

Hola!!

9:27am bibi:

if you dont know it, 'female convict scorpion' is a crazy japanese 70s/80s movie series.
morally & physically violent but to be watched.

9:28am βrian:

In our neck of the woods, it's still possible to overlook getting a permit at all.

9:29am Cecile:

The Birthday Party also do a good "Dirt"

9:29am bibi:

give him some of this cherry thing, ken, and you'll pass easy.

🚽

9:30am Guido (Cologne):

I allways thought German inspectors are the worst ...

9:30am mariano:

All the FMU staff need to start dancing like in "Love Is a Battlefield" to chase the inspector away.

9:31am tim from champaign:

Ken, did you greet the inspector with your friend Abraham Lincoln? Works every time.

9:31am Alessia:

Hello everybody! Hi Ken! Hi inspector, cut them some slacks.

9:31am Cecile:

Play Hey Bulldog for the bulldog inspector.

🚽

9:32am Guido (Cologne):

Neneh's father would love this track.

9:32am Sam:

SAN

CIS
CO
NIGHT!!!!!

9:34am Robert:

Was the original "full contact musical chairs" comment in rxn to something on Nachum's show, John Allen's, an e-mail, or just something on the other side of the glass?

9:34am fred von helsing:

Dang! Frickin' time change!

9:35am davex:

Oh! So you're the rat inspector!

9:35am bibi:

then ken what's your take on finally punk or, trickier, egyptian hip hop ?

9:36am βrian:

@Tim. That's Christie territory. You'll need to introduce some Franklin(s), to start.

9:36am bobdoesthings:

anger management sleepaway camp lanyards would be sweet swag to get!!

9:36am Cecile:

As a sometime fashion fan, L'Wrenn Scott's death made me sad. She was an interesting person apart from fashion.

9:37am Okasa:

@Robert - See the link in Ken From HP's second post above.

9:38am bibi:

the eggs lipsync pretty well this tune.

9:40am Robert:

Tnx, Okasa & KHP.

9:40am tim from champaign:

@Brian - Damn, a Lincoln ain't worth a Hamilton anymore.

🚽

9:44am Ken:

Oh this cannot be good. Inspector has been down there for a long time.

9:45am thedunkel:

He's looking for the Franklins

9:46am davex:

What is the inspector looking at in particular?

9:46am Cecile:

Not necessarily. If he is a good inspector it will take him nearly as long as a bad one. Also he has to write stuff up

9:46am Cheri Pi:

My Friendjust saw Carsick Cars in Portland a couple of nights ago. RAGING with angry jealousy about dat.

9:47am tim from champaign:

Maybe the inspector is thoroughly inspecting the john, if you catch my drift.

🚽

9:48am Ken:

Today is the LAST inspection before we go for the Certificate of Occupancy. They're inspecting the fire alarms / smoke detectors and stuff - "Fire / Electric"

9:49am Robert:

No, I don't catch your drift, champaign. Swirly or wide stance?

🚽

9:49am Guido (Cologne):

How big is the capacity, spectators-wiese?

9:50am tim from champaign:

Both if it's taking so long.

9:50am ъїιι:

Good thing you have the Might Neptune on your side

🚽

9:51am Ken:

Guido - 200 People.

9:52am glenn:

isn't the veronica mars movie coming out today?

9:54am davex:

@Ken: Are there plans to UStream some of the events there for us out here in the diaspora?

9:54am Neg-guh-tor:

Killing it today, Ken! We are stardust!

9:54am JakeGould:

Sending good inspection vibes your way.

9:55am Cecile:

It's out on on demand and some theaters
I haven't seen it yet.

9:58am dale:

you have andy showing the inspector around, right?

9:58am dale:

'i did a million dollar kitchen mr. inspector, but look how we cut corners here!'

🚽

9:59am Guido (Cologne):

magic in the bathroom ... is this for the inspector?

10:00am still b/p:

Yes, please -- video of happenings & performances in the Jersey City answer to the Warhol Factory....the WoofMu Factory.

10:00am tim from champaign:

DOG STEP!

10:01am dale:

ay! chihuaha!

10:02am JakeGould:

The Velvet Underdog & Fido: What a bunch of pussy hounds!

10:02am egal:

Performance arf.

10:03am fred von helsing:

tempting fate

10:04am Bryant:

"Temptation Inside of Your Heartworm" was one of my contributions on dogstep day. I'm so proud!

10:05am JakeGould:

You did good work Bryant.

10:05am Cecile:

It's awesome, Bryan.

10:07am fred von helsing:

New Jersey: The Quiz : www.newyorker.com...

10:07am bobdoesthings:

will he also re-imburse buying don mclean tickets?

10:07am Bryant:

Oooh ... and I live within walking distance of the Tarrytown Music Hall. Should I camp out behind the Music Hall and ask Don McLean for an autograph? "Could you sign it to 'Andy Breckman,' sir?"

10:08am Marcel M:

Thats pushing it Bob!

10:09am Greg from Bloomfield:

If you enjoyed Patti Page, you might also enjoy The Minutemen.

10:10am Neg-guh-tor:

I've tried the Patti Page and it's too sweet for me. More savory side for me.

10:10am F@F@ (:

Morning Ken, people!

10:10am Okasa:

Hey, I'm on the Mexican Radio!

10:11am Cecile:

If you enjoyed Khlam you might also enjoy...

10:12am βrian:

Not me. I don't do Van Morrison. Ever.

🚽

10:12am Ken:

All actual recommendations from the WFMU Spotify account.

10:13am JakeGould:

That Spotify. Is there anything it can’t do?

10:13am f@f@ (:

What about people that like this show? what they also like to listen to? This is a legit question. i seriously would like to know.

10:13am still b/p:

The image accompanying the Cherry Pops track earlier in the show sent me pawing through pulp illustrations. This one will be my "Hello from Maine!" go-to greeting:

10:15am DCE:

Frammin, huh. I likes.

10:15am earrie:

I tend to like music. I like food, too.

10:15am DCE:

Frammin comes ALIVE

10:15am f@f@ (:

what do you mean Okasa? there's a song with that name, isn't?

10:15am Sam:

Just trying my first ever whole wheat croissant

🚽

10:16am Ken:

Bryant - That is an excellent plan!

10:16am Okasa:

BTW - The gif of the mug shots are those implicated in the Duquesne Spy Ring, a German spy ring from the early 40's.

10:16am Cory:

I don't listen to opera or country music past the 70s. I am very okay with everything else I've heard.

10:18am Cecile:

You should play who's your daddy by Benny Benassi. It's wrong on so many levels.

10:18am tim from champaign:

@ f@f@ ( -Lately, I've been jamming out to Grong Grong, Gary Wrong Group, Bobby Whitlock, early Bob Seger, Coloured Balls, Tatsuya Nakatami and the Darkscorch Chronicles comp.

10:18am Okasa:

@f@f@ - The band Wall of Voodoo had a hit song with "Mexican Radio". (Ken, play that song!)

10:19am Lewis:

@Okasa - nice avatar!

10:19am Okasa:

@Lewis - You didn't have to be so nice, I would have liked you anyway.

10:20am f@f@ (:

Ms McGwiggan sounds like a multiple cat owner.

10:20am glenn:

whole wheat croissants are in the same league as that benny benassi song. wrong on every level.

10:21am Lizardner Dave:

I wonder what ever happened to that poor dog.

10:21am Cecile:

That's why I love BB
Whole wheat croissants are ok sometimes.

10:22am paula pc:

that is three for three -- outSTANDing set even by Ken standards

10:22am Brendan:

Well I'll be doggone hi Ken!

10:22am davex:

Any inspection news?

10:23am Sam:

Yeah, it's a bad croissant. It's American, from Zaro's, so there you go. It's stale and it has some kind of sweet glaze on the top that doesn't belong, I think the glaze is supposed to make you not notice the staleness.

10:23am bibi:

ken has the right to remain silent.

10:25am common:

let's get mrs. mcwiggan on the horn. i wanna know if she's seen that dog.

🚽

10:25am Ken:

No, no news! Should I throw on some Young Marble Giants and go down there to find out?

10:25am JakeGould:

Good things come to those who wait.

10:26am JakeGould:

Patience is a virtue.

10:26am KOTJ:

Choci Loni

10:26am JakeGould:

Courtesy is contagious.

10:26am Cecile:

Fresh WW croissants w no sweet crap are sometimes good

10:27am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Black Books gif... nice...

10:27am Rev. Turnip Druid:

'mornin, troops.

10:27am dc pat:

Cecile: the voice of reason.

10:28am Sam:

I believe you Cecile. I will keep an open mind.

10:28am Cecile:

You have to know the right hippie baker. And they can't fear butter.

10:29am tim from champaign:

Do it, Ken.

10:29am JakeGould:

Eat a regular croissant & have a cup of psyllium husk powder afterwards.

10:30am Cecile:

Also wise, Jake.

10:30am Sam:

Why are so many poor quality pastries produced every day in the US? I can't eat anything from Dunkin Donuts.

10:31am Cecile:

And Sam, they'll have to put in some white flour or else you have yourself a big ol' lump.

10:31am dc pat:

what is the floppy corndog gif from?

10:31am f@f@ (:

tim,
great, thanks. what i actually wanted to know is what other similar shows people that like ken's one listen to.

10:32am JakeGould:

Sam, funny you said that. I grew up with tons of great bakeries around me in the 1970s in NYC. But nowadays, all the dough tastes the same. When I happen upon real pastries that taste like real dough, I am stunned. It’s all quantity over quality. Crap flour. Better profits. Worse taste.

10:32am dc pat:

because Murkins love to settle for mediocrity if it's convenient.

10:32am SeanG:

tracy ullman

🚽

10:33am Vivian:

Tracy Ullman?

10:33am f@f@ (:

okasa,

it's a nice song. i thought you were in mexico, because, you know, "mi kasa es su okasa".

10:33am Cecile:

Kirstie Mc Coll, later Tracey Ullman

10:33am Roberto:

Kirsty MacColl/Tracey Ullman

10:34am common:

what is that floppy corndoggy thing from? oh, dc pat already asked.

10:34am Cecile:

Jinx, Roberto!

10:34am JakeGould:

John Sebastian should play “Welcome Back” when Andy comes out of a coma. Which means Andy must fall into a coma first. And then John Sebastian needs to be at his bedside RIGHT when he comes out of the corner. The logistics are a tad iffy, but it’s doable.

10:35am Roberto:

Jinxaroony

10:36am Cecile:

Jake, Minneapolis is a bread/pastry head's dream these days.

10:36am tim from champaign:

Brilliant idea, Jake! A genius plan.

10:36am Liz Berg:

We passed the inspection!

10:36am Roberto:

It's pronounced "The Clee-en-tell"

10:37am fred von helsing:

FINAL! ??

10:37am JakeGould:

Also, I accidentally said, “…when he comes out of the corner.” Instead of “…when he comes out of the coma.” I don’t want to throw a wrench into this well laid out plan.

10:37am Okasa:

Congratulations! Woot!

10:37am r i s k y:

Hey Ken! Go for it! Weeee!

10:37am Roberto:

Liz says it's all good. Check the comments, Kenneleh!

10:37am Cecile:

Could we give away "putting Andy into a coma" as a premium?

10:37am fred von helsing:

do another remote from your phone, go check it ?

10:37am bobdoesthings:

CONGRATS!

10:37am Skirkie:

Woo, Thank Satan.

10:38am Liz Berg:

We still need the final inspection, but that is probably the next step!

10:38am fred von helsing:

DRUGS FOR EVERYBODY !!!

10:38am listener james from westwood:

w00t! All hail the street-legal performance space!

10:38am JakeGould:

Mazel Tov!

10:38am r i s k y:

YAAAAAY OOOOHH YEEEEAAAH!

10:39am Bas, NL:

Hooray to the Groundfloor Inspectorate!

10:39am Kathy:

KUDOS!!!!!

10:39am -max-:

yes! so glad that we passed the audition!

10:39am still b/p:

"One - of - us! One - of - us!"

10:40am KOTJ:

Chief Inspector Fiery Furnaces?

10:40am Robert:

I hope Liz didn't have to resort to what you bribed the cop with in the WFMU video.

10:40am blee:

Wire! Yes. Good morning everbody!.

10:41am dc pat:

WOW.

10:41am tim from champaign:

Congrats Ken and WFMU!

10:41am Kathy:

Mrs Miller Jr!!

10:42am JakeGould:

Cecile, Minneapolis is good four dough? I lived in Wisconsin for a while & the dough was great. So was the Vietnamese food. Wondering why I am in NYC again?

10:42am Cory:

sry ken, still not a fan. i've tried

10:42am dc pat:

Nice cover!

10:43am Robert:

BTW, that video is one of the reasons for Ken's IMO uncanny resemblance to Harold Ramis. He played the st. mgr. at SCTV, and that "code blue" sequence is just the kind of schtick Ramis would do.

10:44am Irene Trudel:

My formerly sleeping cat 'Nello is now at full attention at hearing this track by Veronic Elsea & Her Guide Dogs.

10:45am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Let that dog out before he pees on the floor!

10:45am f@f@ (:

Great news Liz! And what about the Comedy Inspector? I heard they are auditing SSD today. Would they pass the examination?

10:45am Cecile:

Yeah. Even the store bakeries are getting better. We also have great Vietnamese food. But NYC has decent red sauce which I crave a lot, being raised by people in the East Coast tradition.

10:47am JakeGould:

“But NYC has decent red sauce which I crave a lot, being raised by people in the East Coast tradition.” Happy to hear you say that! But guess what? NYC food bullshit has deemed “red sauce” plebeian. Pretty much every foodie blog in NYC derides red sauce as part of their… I dunno… Being a snotbag?

10:47am Cecile:

Everything here tends to be Northern Italian. Or ketchup.

10:48am dvbinnj:

those dogs were driving my dog nuts

10:49am Cecile:

That's soooo stupid. I'll take a good "gravy" or marinara over a white sauce any day.

10:49am dc pat:

to me "red sauce" = New Mexico red sauce made with dried NM red chiles...

10:50am Cecile:

Even Mario Batali makes gravy every Sunday he can.

10:51am Cecile:

Dammit. I'm going to make red sauce this week.

10:51am dc pat:

marinara is fine but I like pesto, walnut sauce, pink sauce too.

10:51am Cecile:

week

10:52am Cecile:

I do too, but I crave red sauce!

10:52am bibi:

cecile & pat, wont you talk coconut again !!?

10:52am JakeGould:

Cecile, I agree. But it’s amazing. Here in Brooklyn, in Park Slope they had this great red sauce place called “Aunt Suzie’s” that closed. It was right across this street from this other Italian place called “Al Di La.” Anyway, when the owners of “Aunt Suzie’s” decided to close, the amount of people just taking a dump on them and saying it was a lame “red sauce” place was past belief. The place is now a hipster “dive” bar called “Pork Slope” run by Dale Talde. Artisnanal overpriced—and not not bad, but not worth giving out of your way for—burgers & beer. Lame!

10:53am JakeGould:

If it weren’t for Mario Batali, red sauce would be a completely dead concept in the NYC foodie world.

10:53am dc pat:

arugula pesto and goat cheese and caramelized onions on anything....with maybe a little coconut oil thrown in.

10:54am common:

god that sounds good, dc pat.

10:55am dc pat:

those bastard hipsters are destroying the WORLD!!! Where do they get all their power??

10:55am dc pat:

actually use a lot of walnut oil these days.

10:56am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

The song should be called, "Axel Foley chase scene"

10:56am Alessia:

What do you guys mean by red sauce and white sauce? As an italian born in Venice, I'm curious about it.

10:56am thedunkel:

hey gifmasters question for ya - how can you email a gif in apple mail (not a link) ?

10:57am northguineahills:

lol, Jennique.

10:58am JakeGould:

Read up on the dying culture of traditional NYC red sauce places. vanishingnewyork.blogspot.com...

10:58am dc pat:

marinara vs alfredo or olive oil garlic sauce?

10:59am still b/p:

Aretha & Annie: "Hipsters Are Doin' It For Themselves!"

10:59am dc pat:

hey what happened to that "Daaaaaammn, yer booty don't stop, girl" tune?

10:59am earrie:

Click bait.

10:59am Cecile:

Damn, I would have loved Aunt Suzie's.

I want to make a pilgrimage to Spumoni Palace if I ever get to NYC.

10:59am tim from champaign:

Good one, jennique! One time a friend mentioned she got a banana at a gas station. Another friend asked "Were the bananas food grade or tailpipe grade?". That slays me every time I think of it.

10:59am bibi:

hey alessia, then you might not remain italian for too long. a referendum is apparently on the way in venitia (though sources arent that reliable).

10:59am Dan B From Upstate:

Hey, Ken. Any chance you might play Booty Bank? It's been a while.

10:59am F☢F☢ (:

Si parla Veneto.

11:00am Alessia:

Ah right Alfredo! Fettuccine Alfredo is something you don't find in Italy, it doesn't exist here.

11:00am Whosondephone:

Dr. Bootygrabber

11:00am Cecile:

Jennique, hahaha

11:00am tim from champaign:

Is this the start of a Butt set?

11:00am JakeGould:

@thedunkel: You mean e-mail a GIF so it plays back? Any program can mail a GIF. But to have it play back the end-user’s browser needs to be able to allow embedding of images—not as attachments—in their reader. Which means it’s not going to work. It is best to just send a URL & then the user opens the GIF in a browser & it plays back.

11:01am dc pat:

@Alessia: good to know. I like putting a little cream in the marinara. But I'm from Kentucky.

11:02am bibi:

i think the inspector took control of turntables. free ken.
venetia, sorry.

11:02am thedunkel:

@JakeGould - thanks for the info!

11:02am βrian:

Miches ! Il faut des miches pour faire un sandwich.

11:03am Cecile:

Alesia, red sauce is marinara or other tomato sauce. White sauce is stuff in the Alfredo family. Gravy on the east coast is tomato sauce with different meats.cooked in it

11:03am Alessia:

Oh yes I know! My region is asking for independency from Italy, but apparently this referendum won't have any concrete effect, it's just a ridiculous fake to make them happy. Venetian people can be very weird, that's why I moved abroad! :D

11:03am JakeGould:

I’m actually sick of sandwiches. America & offing carbs all over the place.

11:05am Cecile:

Alessia, I know it's completely not really Italian, but it's good American food to me.

11:05am dc pat:

well I have a question, when did marinara become red sauce?

11:05am JakeGould:

“America & effing!”

11:05am βrian:

Good bread being hard to find, it's all the more difficult to find good sandwiches.

11:05am bobdoesthings:

I'm Rob

11:06am dc pat:

I'll take all the effing carbs I can get.

11:06am Alessia:

Cecile your way of classifying sauces it's really interesting to me. It's funny! :)

11:06am fleep:

Says here New York has 4,200 restaurants. I'm fairly confident red sauce is still available.

11:06am dc pat:

I make sourdough bread every week...

11:07am davex:

Fettuccine Alfredo was actually created in Rome 100 years ago, but became a thing with tourists. en.wikipedia.org...

11:07am Cecile:

I want a decent sandwich that I don't make myself and that is not banh mi. Which I love, but I just want a good roast beef sammich with no trendy crap on it.

11:08am Alessia:

Pat and with that sourdough you can make "scarpetta" with a good red sauce! It's one of life's pleasures!

11:08am northguineahills:

Hypothetically, if Veneto was to secede, then Friuli–Venezia Giulia would be an exclave, lacking a land border w/ the rest of Italy.

11:08am Cecile:

And that you don't have to unhinge your jaw like a snake to eat.

11:09am Cecile:

Pat, how long have you had your starter?

11:10am JLo:

What was that last bed music if ya don't mind me asking?

11:10am Cecile:

Is that bread and sauce? Because that's what I grew up with.

11:10am JakeGould:

@fleep: 4,200 restaurants in Manhattan? The problem is that most of the good red sauce places are gone. Tons more chains than real places. And the rest are spread out throughout the 5 boroughs.

11:10am Listening Out There:

Somehow, the lizard GIF accompanying Mark E. Smith seems appropo t'me...

11:11am dc pat:

@Cecile: since last summer. A friend is using some of mine too.

11:11am Alessia:

@northguineahills: they really wouldn't mind.

🚽

11:12am Ken:

Thank you, Listening Out There.

11:12am Cecile:

Nice! That's how it should be, dcp!

11:12am JakeGould:

There’s still good red sauce places in Hoboken & Jersey City, though.

11:12am F☢F☢ (:

Now let's all talk about Italian geopolitics. Russian's ones are so last week.

11:12am Ike:

@Alessia, "red sauce joints" are basically loosely based on southern Italian cuisine with lots of heavily Americanized stuff: chowhound.chow.com...

11:13am tim from champaign:

Yes! I love Electrelane. I was fortunate enough to see them twice.

11:13am JakeGould:

I like the fact that 95.5% of voters in Crimea voted for Russia. That is so honest! Can’t be forced! AT gunpoint? No way!

11:14am Alessia:

Scarpetta it's when you have finished your meal but there is still some sauce, so you take a piece of bread and "clean" the dish with it.
Love it! (It's also nice to do with just a good perfumed olive oil and salt)

11:14am Jeff:

I've developed this odd fondness for Mark E. Smith which is entirely Ken's fault.

11:15am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Went to Eat-aly here in NYC last week. Gelato was pretty good but all their market foods were way, way too expensive. Example - $18.00 for an 8 ounce jar of pesto.

11:15am JakeGould:

@Ike, that Chowhound thread you posted makes me want to punch their servers. I hate long-winded derisions of red sauce places.

11:16am dc pat:

@Alessia: that's a meal for me--wiping everything all the sauces up with good bread.

11:16am Cecile:

Love the debate.

11:16am JakeGould:

Eat-aly is a complete tourist trap. You should have gone to Carroll Gardens. They still have decent red sauce places mixed with hipster stuff. The old school italians are still hold string there.

11:17am Cecile:

I scarpetta all the time! Hahaha!

11:18am tim from champaign:

Ken, have you heard Ghost's cover of Caledonia? It's pretty faithful to the original.

11:18am dc pat:

I'll eat what ever's good. Don't care about authentic anymore because what is authentic after all?? Especially when you're tying to eat vegan...

11:19am F☢F☢ (:

I am waiting for you people to talk about tacos so I can join the foodie debate.

11:19am dc pat:

Ken's going to ban us all in a minute...

11:19am JakeGould:

@DC Pat: True to a point. But there is this great Indian food truck near where I work in SoHo that is vegan, great & authentic. Am I going to get banned? Dammmit!

11:20am kirk from beer city usa:

damn, I missed tuxedomoon.

11:20am dc pat:

THOSE GODDAM HIPSTERS AGAIN!!!

11:20am ?:

I hear you're talking about good bread here !

11:21am bibi:

put all coconuts down or it's bagpipes til the end of the show.

11:21am Foodie Inspector:

I 100% approve the comment section.

11:21am Cecile:

Exactly, dcp. I had a Brie and Apple quesadilla at a place, and the waiter asked me what I thought about it,"well, it's not good if I think of it as Mexican food, but it's absolutely delicious." The waiter laughed and said that was pretty much what everyone said.

11:21am earrie:

Hipsters are a style of underwear that hang at ladies' hips.

11:22am dc pat:

yeah, but isn't all Indian food NOT vegan by default because of ghee?

11:22am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Is the Scotland Secession Song?

11:22am Cecile:

I love authentic tacos, but also Taco Bell.

11:22am βrian:

In our hood, the bread maker *delivers* for free during the winter months. Now that's sweet. (And the best bread I've ever had.)

11:25am βrian:

Nah. Ghee is a northern thing.

11:25am Cecile:

We had bread delivered when we lived in AUS in the 70s. Fluffy white Pullman bread with the best crust.

11:25am Ike:

For a moment there, I thought we got shut down for making Ken too hungry.

11:25am maestroso:

Whoa. That was weird.

11:25am F☢F☢ (:

Did I said tacos? NOOO! Let's talk about music!!!

11:25am dc pat:

ok nix the food talk for now. Oh Brian.

11:26am Cecile:

I believe some people use grapeseed or "groundnut" oil

11:26am dc pat:

So I dog Saor Patrol and Mrs. dc pat approves too.

11:26am JakeGould:

Can we all just love this animated GIF of a loving couple sharing a big hero made with good bread?

11:27am dc pat:

*dig....or maybe dog

11:28am dc pat:

we definitely received a warning...

11:29am F☢F☢ (:

Scot pipes never sounded so good.

11:31am Sam:

This is great! Sounds like something Billy Jam would play.

11:32am Cecile:

Ok, Ken, how about She Tried by Bubba Sparxxx (or maybe my baby's gone, can't remember title)

11:33am Cecile:

Great hick-hop that even Kandia Crazy Horse digs.

11:33am JakeGould:

Now I want a corned beef hero with a pint of Guinness.

11:33am Sam:

I love that Guiness withdrew their support for the parade. The real Irish are a very tolerant people; it's just the Irish-American old guard who aren't.

11:33am Alessia:

I would love to keep on debating on food with you but I have to go, and, tonight I'll see Julianna Barwick live! So excited! See you guys!

11:34am dc pat:

nice gif goes with DJ BC. Is there any hip hop sung in Irish?

11:34am Cecile:

Alessia, have a great day!

11:34am dc pat:

What Sam said^

11:35am F☢F☢ (:

Ciao, Alessia! Tutti qui ti volgiamo bene!

11:35am dc pat:

Ciao Alessia.

11:36am JakeGould:

Gaelic rap. www.youtube.com...

11:36am Cecile:

I believe there might be some on Billy's Irish hip hop disc. I can't remember, I keep getting stuck on Ri Ra's five o clock in the morning.

11:37am still b/p:

I liked DJ BC, and I like Patti Page.

11:37am Cecile:

Sorry 25 o clock in the morning

11:37am JakeGould:

My apologies for that clip. It’s not that great.

11:37am F☢F☢ (:

House of Pain ! That's authentic ethnic Irish Hip Hop.

11:39am Listening Out There:

Work goes better with Jews harp

11:40am dc pat:

I'd just like to hear Irish guys singing in Irish rather than imitating Americans.

11:40am Cecile:

Ri Ra is great. Also Scary Eire.

11:42am dc pat:

yeah @Cecile, that's what I meant...

11:43am Skirkie:

I play Billy's Irish hip hop premium every St. Paddy's day.

11:43am Cecile:

They rap in English, but are 100% Irish content and accent

Shore Patrol

11:44am Cecile:

And Jinx Lennon!

11:44am still b/p:

Other Irish flavors: Been familiar with lilting since I was a kid, but ever since Ken played the Celtic Mouth Music selections a few months ago, I've been trying out diddle-die-dee versions of pop songs -- Mercy Mercy Me, Summer In The City.

11:44am dc pat:

Yeah, but closer to it. I like Jinx Lennon

11:46am dc pat:

oh man, ani-gifs are crashing laptop...must...regain...control!!!

11:47am Skirkie:

You guys heard of "No Béarla" ?

en.wikipedia.org...

It's on the you tube.

11:47am dc pat:

I don't do anything on St. Patrick's anymore...the stupid Republicans in DC have ruined if for me.

11:47am Skirkie:

That link is wonky, just google it I guess.

11:48am Cecile:

I have to see that, Skirkie

🚽

11:49am Guido (Cologne):

i feel like in Keili's show.

11:49am dc pat:

Looks very cool Skirkie. Is it in Irish? Subtitled?

🚽

11:49am Ken:

Not sure if anybody posted the Styraight Outa Ireland Comp address but hereit is: musicformaniacs.blogspot.com...

11:50am dc pat:

HANX Ken!

11:50am Skirkie:

I watched the first episode. Dude's kind of annoying sometimes. I think more people have Irish than he's claiming. But yeah it's subtitled.

11:51am dc pat:

good cuz I only know how to say "Sit down and shut up" in Irish.

11:53am Okasa:

Do you believe in magic? Believe in the magic of rock and roll.

🚽

11:54am Ken From Hyde Park:

What's this "Certificate of Occupancy"? You'll be capable of receiving letters addressed to Occupant?

11:55am tim from champaign:

How do you say it, dc pat?

11:55am northguineahills:

Ken, the Caledonia remix was done by Screaming MacGregor and was retitled "Cave Control", and was found on a mix CD by Speedranch & Jansky Noise.

🚽

11:57am Ken:

Ken from HP, yes, that, and we'll also be able to open as a performance space and invite the public in and stuff.

Thanks NGH!

11:57am dc pat:

Not sure about spelling but something like "Nau bi a keintch, agus sig seaus." That's what the nuns would yell at a friend who grew up there.

11:58am JakeGould:

Ken, will you have a snack bar? Good bread & pastries?

11:59am Sam:

What will you do if Putin takes over the new performance space? He might pull some crap like hold a referendum, and if 97% of the DJ's vote in favor, he'll move right in. Do you have insurance for that?

11:59am chris:

"shatner-esque" is an understatement, me thinks

🚽

11:59am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Ken - Yay! In Nachum's voice: "Mazal Tov!" Hopefully, the COO will be a mere formality and not be a big hassle.

12:00pm f@f@ (:

thank you, ken and commenters! see ya next episode!
