Happy Germans: Ken's show

Listener comments!

🚽

6:09am Ken:

Hello everybody!

7:03am Mark S:

Hello!

7:12am P-90:

Ciao all. Thought I'd check in on the Secret Pregame Party and GIF Parade this morning.

🚽

7:25am Ken From Hyde Park:

Gee, I never noticed how much wombats resemble Ewoks from Star Wars. Wombat needs a little vest to complete the ensemble. Amazing animal fact: Wombat poop is cube-shaped.

🚽

8:01am Ken:

Yes, those wombats look like Ewoks or Capybaras. True Fact: In college I briefly did a comedy radio show called "Wombat Euphoria Theater."

8:04am groucho:

Hello Kenfolk. Sorry I'm late.

8:16am Robert:

The wombat looks like Porky Pig if he let his hair grow out.

8:18am Robert:

The wombat is the girl after taking the pills.

8:22am Robert:

Whatever that is on JM in the AM works perfectly with those GIFs.

8:42am Yvang:

Hello!Bonjour tout le monde!

8:45am Kenneth:

Lets hear some Norwegian tunes, Årabrot from Haugesund (they are named after our local waste dump) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8DlUGIT5_Q

8:50am thedunkel:

8:52am Lizardner Dave:

Any chance of Elakeliaset today?

8:53am Yvang:

Is this me or the ♥ are missing today?

8:54am Yvang:

or broken?

8:56am Okasa:

Morning Ken(s)! Morning non-Kens! Hope you have a great show, sorry that I must miss most of your electrified hippie noise, (stupid work).

9:05am Stevel:

The lesson today is, be careful not to stand on the end of a long, tippy rock.

🚽

9:08am bbell:

Ah, Wednesday morning is so refreshing!

9:08am Tony:

At least while there's a giant lurking outside of the frame.

🚽

9:08am Ken:

Yes Yvang, we removed the hearts until the next pledge drive.. coming soon though are icons for Swag for Lifers.

9:08am MD:

^^^ short little bit about the game yesterday

9:22am shmoo:

Re that whole Brazil soccer thingy...yeh here in Newark's Ironbound the silence is..........wunnerful!!!!!!

9:22am egal:

Sad samba.

9:23am Mark S:

are Germans ever really happy?

9:23am Dan B From Upstate:

Ja.

9:23am Asheville Jon:

hearing some Heino would make me happy. otherwise i will remain a sad german

9:23am egal:

In Germany, happiness is a prelude to despair.

9:23am MD:

I like happy Germans...They are a lot nicer than the Brooding ones!!!

9:24am berlusconi's nose:

Germans are octopuses.

🚽

9:24am Webhamster Henry:

Felix Kubin .. isn't he a happy German?

9:25am Marcel M:

I got my swag... BUT MY KHLAM IS BACK ORDERED!!!!!! :-( :-(

9:25am Prof. Unrath:

D'land, D'land Uber Alles anyone?

9:25am Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

I'm a Happy German!

9:26am P-90:

"Happy Germans" What a concept...

9:26am Roberto:

Der schwag ist gut

9:26am MD:

Yessss...my Khlam is on BO also...What gives Freedman?!?!?!

9:27am Listener Christoph:

Super, danke Ken!
Auch ich sehe den Sternenhimmel!

9:28am thedunkel:

Flask √ Papers √ KHALM __ = :(

9:28am People Like Us:

that's better

9:29am Asheville Jon:

thanks Ken!

9:30am Schadenfreude:

remember, safety first when burning books. poor guy in necktie got a spark in his eye?

9:30am Asheville Jon:

i like how the gif above Heino is moving in time with the song

9:31am Eli:

I'm hoping to hear some Andreas Dorau!

9:31am P-90:

"Khalm" -a Russian chill music artist?

9:32am still b/p:

Pharrell Williams has a song, very popular I understand, all about German demeanor.

9:33am berlusconi's nose:

Ken, could you please play something a little less soothing!

9:35am Karl Kraut:

Ostzonensuppenwürfelmachenkrebs -
To The Singer Of Supertramp

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLaTzeB2U5M

9:35am bobdoesthings:

you know how, through the power of suggestion, someone can create a false memory for you. (For example "Hey remember the time you were in the supermarket as a little kid and you got lost, couldn't find mom, and you cried and cried.." if repeated a few times, people will create that memory even though it never happened) Every time I hear that Heino song I start to create false memories of being a happy little boy dancing around to it in my parents living room.

9:37am Dan B From Upstate:

Was this the winner of the Free Music Archive's replace the happy birthday song contest?

9:37am f☠f☠ (:

Can't hear anything but I can imagine Ken is playing zum gud wonderfultastiche muzik. My earbuds are broken and I'm kind of tempted to turn on the volume of my laptop speakers to disturb the peace and calmness of the library I'm in now.

9:38am berlusconi's nose:

Ick and ick again!

9:38am Eli:

Woohoo! Thanks, Ken!

9:39am f☠f☠ (:

Since I can't hear a thing I'll at least keep the score of today's show. So so far we have:

Germany 3 - Brazil 1

9:39am tikk:

Wonder if ASCAP tries to collect on German version of Happy Birthday

9:40am MD:

This song is makin' me dance!!!

9:42am mark:

For some reason I feel like eating lard.

9:42am Cecile:

hola, all!

9:45am f☠f☠ (:

And another goooaaaal!!

Germany 5 - Brazil 1

I'm not sure if Happy Occasion Singers are German. Their song title and band name doesn't sounds very German to me, but if they are indeed then the score would be 6 to 1 (if my maths are correct).

9:46am f☠f☠ (:

And by the way, it was a great goal that one from Felix "The Bomber" Kubin.

9:47am Cecile:

Got any early squonky Roxy Music around, Ken?

9:48am Dan B From Upstate:

Ooh... I kinda wanna hear that schlager medley.

9:48am egal:

Schlager bitte.

9:48am MikeY:

Shies-er Singers

9:48am bobdoesthings:

that would be a great line on the wfmu page under the photo "if you thought that was bad, you should have seen what I was GOING TO play.."

9:49am Cecile:

Or "Bear Force One?"

9:49am berlusconi's nose:

Please!

9:49am bobdoesthings:

9:50am still b/p:

Kohl Porter.

9:50am Nick from Indy:

liked the "yabba dabba doo"

9:51am weiterso:

the dog would like this too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQUJfpcSRQ0

9:51am Laura L:

Tra-la-la, ho ja ho ja ho!

9:52am Fred:

Yes Ken, I noticed he was saying "Yabba Dabba Doo"

9:52am Mark S:

a dog with dentures

9:52am Cecile:

Bearforce1 is very gay.

🚽

9:53am Webhamster Henry:

Jabbadabbdü!

9:53am Marcel M:

I'm really tempted to post that video of the huge German beer destroying the dainty Brazilian cocktail on my Brazilian friend's page.... but I think he would explode.

9:54am MD:

He means HAPPY...Right???

9:54am Cecile:

They are also very, very happy. And extremely cheesy.

9:55am MD:

Of course there's nothin wrong with Happy and Gay...It is the 21st Century you know!!!

9:55am Cecile:

marcel, I need to see that posthaste.

9:56am Marcel M:

Cecile, Ashville John posted it earlier: www.youtube.com... pretty great

9:57am Dan B From Upstate:

Huh. The velvet painting of the manicorn made me think of the velvet painting of Elron. Glad to hear this song. Been a while.

9:57am MD:

Thank You for Playing this Ken!!! I love you!!!

9:57am Jim Price:

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises!

9:57am tikk:

Ken, I hope WFMU is going to pay for all the pneumonia your listeners are giong to contract from being exposed to the secrets of OTIII.

9:58am f☠f☠ (:

bobdoesthings,

Stretching your idea, wouldn't be great if all this suggestions coming from Pandora, Spotify et all while you are listening to music would be more honest? I.e. "That song you just played sucks. I cannot even think what I can suggest you". Or "Bro, stop listening to that crap. Why don't you listen to real music instead?". Or "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the last boring song you were playing. I have nothing to suggest you. Sorry", etc.

9:58am jeg:

hmmm ninininice

9:58am Cecile:

THAT IS AMAZING.

9:59am MD:

One word.......BOB!!!!!

9:59am bobdoesthings:

heh? what's all this...

10:00am egal:

This is better.

10:00am adrian in mpls:

Damn interplanetary overpopulation -- this just stresses the need for more access to alien birth control

10:01am Marcel M:

"Christian melodic metal core"

10:02am f☠f☠ (:

Marcel M,

There's a gif of that video you just mentioned. But I don't remember how did I find it. I think I duckduckgoed 'memes brazil germany'.

10:02am Jack:

Scientology metal?

10:03am Nick from Indy:

www.youtube.com...

10:03am Marcel M:

@FOFO: Here we go cdn.arwrath.com...

10:03am Andrew Waterloo:

Problem with an honest Pandora is that would probably be programmed with a computer geek's idea of good music. "So you keep thinking there's something after 1974 worth listening to?"

10:04am Andrew Waterloo:

That "The Devil Wears Prada" track was a nice little song wasn't it?

10:06am Jack:

"Battlefield Earth" is a great movie! (or so I've been brainwashed to say)

10:06am Cecile:

I have had some good luck with Pandora. But I am very stern with it.

10:06am βrian:

For years I assumed the guy's name was Elron, having never seen it in print.

10:06am Chris M.:

Hubbard was way ahead of Trap and Grime doing those musical bullet sounds

🚽

10:07am Webhamster Henry:

I remember this from your Listener's Guide to Mind Control Premium tape.

10:07am Marcel M:

BOOM, this is gonna be awesome! www.brooklynvegan.com...

10:07am Cecile:

I love Creative Orchestra Music.

10:10am Andrew Waterloo:

That needed to be followed by a Micheal Perilstein track.

10:11am Nick from Indy:

Digging the Creative Orchestra

10:12am Jack:

This sounds like a good place for the Willem Breuker Kollektief, if I may make my pitch.

10:12am f☠f☠ (:

Andrew Waterloo,

Or what if Pandora was programmed by a non-computer geek? "Hold on..Hold on..Let me Google that song first to have an idea what was that..." [15 minutes later] Now wait another moment..I'm on the wikipedia page now ..." [35 minutes later] "Ok.. I found something you might like: Phil Collins "

10:16am Marcel M:

OMFG when Brasil lost to France there was a dumb theory that the French drugged them... they just can't loose with any respect these damn Brasilians!

10:17am Chris M.:

i love this expert call!

10:18am Cecile:

Where is Guido?

10:18am Marcel M:

I think I'm like 3.5 pct german.. that count? Bob, you're German right?

10:19am βrian:

In a meeting during the game, we kept hearing the fervent moans of thousands nearby.

10:19am bobdoesthings:

In my opinion... this is clearly some "new-world-order" shit.. the Illuminati is clearly behind all of this.

10:19am Cecile:

Guiiiiiido! Guido!

10:19am Andrew Waterloo:

A picture of Brazil's defense? funnyandcrazycats.tumblr.com...

10:20am Mark S:

oh I know merde and puta

10:20am MD:

How many homeruns did the Germans get????

10:20am Marcel M:

LOL Andrew, I think the cat would have done better

10:21am Marcel M:

I don't know what everyone is freaking out about, Brasil only lost by ONE touchdown...

10:21am SeanG:

The final is on Sunday

10:21am f☠f☠ (:

What is more believable...?

A) A guy that resurrected from dead

B) A Prince named Xenu that lived trillions of years ago.

10:22am bobdoesthings:

@marcel haha

10:23am still b/p:

When he delivers the cussin' slow like that, it sounds like the Mayans in Apocalypto.

10:23am Fernando M P:

that song is called just "Tristeza".

10:24am MD:

MONEY!!!!

10:24am f☠f☠ (:

I bet Guido has a massive hangover and he is certainly not very happy at the moment.

10:24am Marcel M:

I think I've only bet Brasilians named Eduardo...

10:24am Marcel M:

met*

10:24am fred:

@Marcel: 7-1? There's no way you can score 1 point in football. It must have been a rouge, showing they're Secretly Canadian, like that Cruz infiltrator

10:25am pierre:

that Skype sound on Jobim

10:25am Cecile:

Fernando can call in and teach us all Portugese cursing. It sounds beautiful.

And it's nice to know that "puta" crosses several language platforms.

10:25am Marcel M:

@Fred: Another conspiracy unearthed!!!!

10:26am MD:

tHE SYSTEMS NOT BROKEN...IT'S FIXED!!!

10:27am f☠f☠ (:

pierreee, our sophistiq et elegantaux amic!!!!!

10:28am pierre:

f☠f☠ (: !!!!! Bonjour !

10:30am fred:

@Marcel: I had a Brazilian coworker who wasn't name Eduardo. He was often corrected by French people because of the way he pronounced Marcelo. Which was his name. Reason #428 why the French just suck

10:30am f☠f☠ (:

Oh, pierre, now I know how it feels to be a non-listener commenter!! Now I'm with you, my comrade, in the same struggle for sound!

10:31am Jack:

Galago, or Tarsier? I get them confused.

10:31am Marcel M:

@Fred: haha.. I can just picture some Frenchman correcting him on how to say his own name...

10:31am pierre:

f☠f☠ : this is one of my biggest fight recently

10:32am Marcel M:

One of my favorite World Cup moments so far was when the French were loosing to the Germans, they showed a Frenchman praying in the stands, and the English announcer said, "Prayer, will quickly turn to disappointment.."

10:32am f☠f☠ (:

Hold my people!!!!

Brazil might have a change in today's show game!!

Score so far:
Germany 6 (or 7) - Brazil 2

There are more than 60 minutes to go!!

10:33am pierre:

@ Marcel M : Eduardo can be italian too I think

10:33am fred:

Sudden Infant!!!

10:34am Marcel M:

@Pierre: It can also be Spanish but whose counting?

10:35am bobdoesthings:

Eduardo - 3 languages thusfar.. anyone else?

10:35am BDR:

Cousin to "Human Fly" youtu.be...

10:35am bobdoesthings:

TUXEDOMOON!

10:35am pierre:

I have Croatia

10:36am Jack:

@pierre. Antibiotics can help that.

10:36am Marcel M:

So...lemme get this straight... everyone is named Eduardo in ALL those countries?!?!?

10:36am nate:

this song always makes me want to throw a lamp at a wall

10:36am f☠f☠ (:

*Ahem*

Marcel M, Fred,

Let me introduce you to pierre, our dearest Frenchman in the wfmu community. Please behave.

10:37am Marcel M:

@FOFO: is Marcel not a French name? Ehem... Ehem...

10:37am Eduardo:

@ Marcel M: This is news?

10:37am Marcel M:

hahahahha

10:38am MD:

DON'T DO THAT nATE...Walls are people tooo!!!

10:38am Jeroen Kuster:

good show and I am getting a bit nervous for this evening (soccer)

10:38am pierre:

I have Pharyngite actually.
And I just came out from the doc, she told me that Antibiotics weren't needed.

10:38am fred:

@Marcel: reason #429: another (Italian) coworker was named Carmine. Some asshole in social security "corrected" his gender to female (despite a photo where he was sporting a beard), but here SS numbers start with 1 for males, 2 for females, so it got him into lots of trouble. 2 years later it still wasn't fixed, despite a letter from a woman in HR attesting he was indeed male (boy did he get an earful about that one)

10:38am common:

great show. i am getting nervous about a company meeting...pretty sure i'm gonna be unemployed real soon.

10:39am f☠f☠ (:

Marcel is also Spanish, Italian, Sinhalese and Japanese. Ahem * Ahem *

10:39am Marcel M:

The fun part of the World Cup is being able to make fun of other coutnries

10:39am Marcel M:

Including ours

10:40am Cecile:

WOW. That is unthinkable in the US!
Why is gender important on a SS card?

10:41am pierre:

@ common: I have been here, it's always rough. But there's always a solution. Hang on

10:41am Lizardner Dave:

Thanks for the humppaa Ken!

10:42am pierre:

@Marcel M : is your country US or France ? in anyway, great fun !

10:42am f☠f☠ (:

Go common!!

10:43am Nick from Indy:

Oompah

10:44am fred:

@Cecile: Beats me. But getting it wrong leads you to a world of bureaucratic grief, and there are few worst than SS over here. Which is saying something

10:44am Marcel M:

@Pierre: USA, great fun indeed.

10:45am pierre:

fun AND freedom, i've heard !

10:45am fred:

(belated) Eläkeläiset!!!

10:46am common:

thank you, pierre! ff(:

10:46am Marcel M:

Oh bucketfulls of freedom.

10:46am pierre:

@ Cecile : French administration is the equivalent of listening to every Coldplay album while trying to get rid of an impossibly hard to reach splinter in you feet…

10:48am Cecile:

how about Coldplay chopped and screwed? Because regular Coldplay might distract me from a splinter. If its' slowed down, it would be more painful.

10:48am fred:

The real Fred (Von Helsing) went through this recently and got axed. I hope you don't, but even if you do I'm sure you'll turn it into a favor. Maybe they don't deserve you

10:49am thedunkel:

Hey Ken and Non Kens - WFMU is a FACT! #34

10:49am listener mark:

Good morning. Have I missed any good parts?

10:50am Marcel M:

Work time, bye guys, go Argentina!

10:50am bobdoesthings:

whats the dancing lady gif from?

10:52am mythopeic_industries:

Ken, a GIF for ya - images.yuku.com.s3.amazonaws.com...

10:53am Sem Chumbo:

He ate a naked tongue fish alive?! The horror...

10:53am egal:

This is more representative of the German mood.

🚽

10:53am Ken:

That's Sissy Spacek from Badlands. Amazing movie. New Terrence Malick movie out soon!

🚽

10:55am Webhamster Henry:

Can Nina Hagen be far behind, now that we're past the happy Germans?

10:55am tstamp82:

My friend farms some great images/gifs at his site called cougar crisis. A lot of weird porn gore psychedelic and cult type stuff you guys might have some love for.

10:56am Yvang:

Germany+bossa nova?
www.youtube.com...

10:56am tstamp82:

www.cougarcrisis.com

10:57am ?:

Badlands is in my top 13 movies of all time!

10:58am P-90:

@bobdoesthings: The dancing redhead? Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn in "Coalminer's Daughter"

10:59am f☠f☠ (:

I agree with the previous commenter that forgot to sign in with a username.

10:59am βrian:

My theory is that Germany overwhelmed the Brazilians with agitated gifs of unpredictable loop lengths.

11:00am Jeroen Kuster:

@ Fred :bureaucracy is hell when it goes wrong

11:00am Nick from Indy:

@Yvang: i dig the Bill Ramsey - Bossa Nova Baby 1964

11:03am βrian:

Humidity + plosives = broken diaphragm.

11:05am Cecile:

Play the one where you are really drunk and Tony Shaloub is there.

11:05am Yvang:

@Nick: Yes This is good. I didn't know this artist. Actually I just googled "Germany" and "Bossa nova"

11:05am Robert:

Feel better, Andy.

11:06am Dan B From Upstate:

Seven Second Delay request: The Beatles reunion show from 9-10-2008.

11:06am nate:

ken, have you considered just doing a solo show with an andy breckman soundboard (or has this been done already?)

🚽

11:06am Ken:

What was the Beatles reunion show Dan?

11:08am Dan B From Upstate:

Andrea found four people on facebook with the same name of the beatles and you skyped/called the four of them. the show ended with them singing along with a midi of "with a little help from my friends"

🚽

11:08am Ken:

hahahaha Yes Nate, there have been 7 or 8 "Automated Andy" shows.

11:08am Dan B From Upstate:

It's actually kind of not a train wreck.

🚽

11:09am Ken:

Hmmm, that sounds good! I cant believe I unrememberized that one.

11:10am Jim Price:

One of my favorite 7SD shows is "Please Don't Put Me On Hold". That episode had you recording Andy's voice with certain phrases and then you called book stores using the pre-recorded phrases. Can you find it?

11:10am Robert:

How about the one where you injected into the oral tradition instructions to time travelers to come back to WFMU at some previous time?

Or the one where Andy finally got to do Bigot Ambush & immediately found the fatal flaw because the guy you phoned was black? I don't remember anything else abut that show.

11:12am Eef Tunkel:

gotta love waterskiiing behind a UAV gif

🚽

11:13am Ken:

Jim, that wasnt the Music on Hold Contest show was it?

11:13am Nick from Indy:

Always liked the 7SD Bar Bets show when Andy was sent out to a bar.

11:14am f☠f☠ (:

That story has something for everyone. People that place bets. People that go to bars. People that are named Andy.

11:15am inês:

track 10- Kecupat Aneh

11:15am Robert:

Panhandling on the subway was good.

I might ask for Andy Puts The Kids To Bed, but it's too soon after you reran the mis-parenting complaints episode.

11:16am fred:

Maybe you could rerun a marathon show, 7SD faithful might fall for it and give again. That would be ethically dubious though

11:16am f☠f☠ (:

What about playing all those segments where Andy used to appear as a CO-HOST even before the 7SD concept ever existed ?

11:18am fred:

Now, if the Andy soaking does count, all deception charges are out

11:18am Jim Price:

No. You called book stores and "talked" to store employees using pre-recorded Andy phrases like, "I'd like a book as a gift for my sister" "Can you recommend something" "What are your hours" etc.

11:18am listener mark:

Thank you Ken. Today's show was reasonably entertaining and also, Jandek free!

🚽

11:20am Ken:

Ah, thanks Jim - That must have been one of the automated Andy shows... I will look for it. Mark, my show is ALWAYS Jandek-free. But I always have a Jandek record right in front of me to remind myself that free will does exist.

11:20am f☠f☠ (:

Hold on, listener mark.. The show is not over yet. There's plenty of time to play an entire set of Jandek.

11:22am Yvang:

Beware! Jandek is 100% gluten.

11:22am listener mark:

Shhhh! I was hoping he wouldn't notice.

11:22am nate:

I didn't listen to Irwin's show for 10 years because he said bad things about Jandek

11:23am fred:

I saw Jandek live last year: he sucked big time

11:24am Dan B From Upstate:

There are four automated andy shows, 11-13-02, 11-20-02, 12-4-02, and 12-25-02. maybe jim's is one of those four?

11:24am f☠f☠ (:

*Ahem*

KHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!

11:24am bobdoesthings:

YESSSS

11:24am w41:

Dat song is called 'Snow'

11:25am Nick from Indy:

спасибо

11:25am Yvang:

@ fred:Was it before Mendelson? I was there too...

11:26am fred:

KKKKKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:26am Robert:

All Irwin said "bad" about Jandek was that he, Irwin, no longer considered him to be...whatever cool thing he'd previously considered him. And he said it only once AFAIK, basically as a way of explaining why he wasn't playing him.

11:27am fred:

@Yvang: the very same disaster

11:27am YETI BOB:

I've heard so much KLAHM on Ken's show that i'm becoming a fan. This music is better than it sounds ....

11:27am f☠f☠ (:

w41 is like the Khlam police! He appears out of nowhere to correct us and enlighten us about Khlam!!

11:27am Robert:

ISTR he anointed someone else he'd been playing the new, or replacement for, Jandek. It's not like he called Jandek a creep or anything.

11:27am Whosondephone:

I've been missing this song!

11:30am Manon:

Damn! How can one find Khlams music, to buy or to download. It's amost like they don't exist on the internet apart from Ken's show..

11:30am nate:

@ Robert I'm talking about Irwin's book, where he called him a "mumbling sleepwalker playing a tennis racket". Which is not untrue but he framed it negatively.

11:32am bobdoesthings:

hahahaha. ..."lodi"

11:34am groucho:

Too soon, ken! can't handle any Bo Rhap for at least another year

11:35am fred:

For some reason I get nervous when I hear Ken playing Bohemian Rhapsody

11:35am w41:

Manon: here's their discography... rutracker.org...

11:35am f☠f☠ (:

Does anyone knows how to play the wfmu live stream on Debian Linux? I just realised there's no way. Just went to buy new earbuds and now I can't listen my wfmu!? Aargh!

11:36am r i s k y:

SPACE FARMS!!! Owwww!

11:36am r i s k y:

Also shouts to Delawanna!

11:36am bobdoesthings:

and it sucks... and has a swastika for a cover..

11:38am Manon:

@w41 Thanks!

11:38am Cecile:

Irwin is right. I said it.

11:39am PMD:

Hi Ken! Had to put in my earphones so I can hear the commentary. Love the Bohemian Rhapsody... mmm....

11:40am Cecile:

also, so they would not die instantly and go to heaven.

11:40am f☠f☠ (:

Can somebody please transcribe me all the commentary and post the music sheets of the current song so I can follow along??

11:40am listener mark:

And those Hopi Indians can carpet three rooms for only $1.99 per square foot.

11:40am bobdoesthings:

Ken.. give me an hour long radio show for the next 6 weeks.. I got my first 6 shows planned out..

11:41am rsj:

Nudity always works

11:41am Nick from Indy:

"Do not play this record!"

11:41am Cecile:

I also heard that weavers close to death did make perfect rugs to speed up the process...

11:41am Kazatsky:

HEY!!!

11:41am f☠f☠ (:

bobplanthings, you see?

11:42am YETI BOB:

I'll donate an extra $50 to the station if that Jandek record NEVER gets played.

11:42am Cecile:

no it's Bryce that's late almost every week...

11:42am listener mark:

Don't worry Ken. We are not allowed in the second floor record library. We can't take the five dollars.

11:43am f☠f☠ (:

$69 here!

11:43am northguineahills:

I don't get the Jandek hate, but then again I haven't heard anything he's done since about 2000.

11:43am fred:

@rsj: on radio I'm sure it does. Ken did try it if I'm not mistaken... didn't work all that well

11:44am Jack:

How about another Bohemian Rhapsody show?

11:44am Eef Tunkel:

this might be the best song ever recorded

11:44am Robert:

Nate, that reminds me of how my cousin Rory hated Jean Shepherd for what he said about Lenny Bruce.

11:44am w41:

f☠f☠ (:, what kind of environment are you in? Can't you just install banshee or something?

11:45am Cecile:

I like a Christmas Story as much as anything, but there is an eviscerating takedown of Shepherd by Donald Fagen in Slate magazine from a while back.

11:46am P-90:

Is Jandek Indifference essentially the same thing as Jandek Hate?

11:46am PMD:

I think the Bohemian rhapsody should be doggified.

11:46am Cecile:

yes, with a little less venom

11:46am nate:

Oh, I listen to a lot more of Irwin than Jandek these days... I actually got interviewed for the Jandek documentary, and then pretty much never listened to him again.

11:46am Whosondephone:

Nice!

11:47am Cecile:

the greatest dog-step record ever

11:47am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

I think KISS should be doggified too.

11:47am Nick from Indy:

Who did the doggy remix?

11:47am common:

ken, you're a genius.

11:47am mythopeic_industries:

The Velvet Underdog - nice!

11:47am f☠f☠ (:

w41,

Thanks. Gnome Debian linux. I have VLC and the MPlayer (totem). None grab the rm signal. Browser won't play the pop up player neither.

11:48am P-90:

@Cecile: Thanks, I'm going to look that one up. If Fagen thought Shepherd was worth the effort to take down, I'd love to see what he had to say...

🚽

11:49am bbell:

Lou Reed! Woof!

11:51am northguineahills:

There's never enough Big Blood....

11:51am Cecile:

I guess I don't like people coveirng this song because it's pretty much perfect in my eyes.

11:51am fred:

@P-90: it's not, though I can understand either, as well as Jandek fatigue. I really like some of his music, but he's been tedious lately

11:51am f☠f☠ (:

w41,

Retried grabbed the signal successfully with the VLC. Over.

11:51am Robert:

I can no longer work SoundCloud with this old mostly-Ubuntu Linux.

11:52am Andrew Waterloo:

Jendeck just wasn't meant to be an ongoing situation.

11:53am bobdoesthings:

@Robert - if it's due to their "updated" look.. there is a link somewhere to have it go to the older design, or at least they did have a link when they first changed the layout

11:54am Robert:

They had such a link at SoundCloud, but discontinued it a couple mos. ago.

11:55am bobdoesthings:

@robert - Ugh.. I hate the new setup too... primarily because new tracks get put below the 'spotlight" section.. confusing. Old layout was way better.

11:55am Robert:

Seems the version of Firefox can't update the needed plugins without dependencies that can't be resolved with what I can download.

11:56am northguineahills:

This Thirwell has some Morricone echoes in it.

11:57am mythopeic_industries:

scraping foetus off the wheel. I think i will need a power sprayer. These stains will never come out....

11:57am P-90:

@fred "Jandek Fatigue" Hahaha, yet another flavor...

11:58am PMD:

I love hollerin'!

11:58am northguineahills:

Thanks for nicing up the 'morn, Ken!

11:58am f☠f☠ (:

I feel like after missing the entire show due to the loss of my earbuds my hearing sense is even more sensitive now. Just like what happens to blind people!

🚽

11:59am Ken:

Bye everybody!

12:00pm f☠f☠ (:

3:40am Guido from Cologne:

Thumbs up for Schöne Maid!
Huge hit in 1971!
Undoubtedly the best way to make 70ies hairy rock fans wanna lynch the DeeJay!

Notorious version by Die toten Hosen on this here:
en.wikipedia.org...

... and indeed noone had a clue, what that "yabbee-dabbee-doo" meant!

In fact the song is a complete ripp-off from traditional Tahitian song "Nau Haka Taranga", polpularised at the time by an orchestral version by Arthur Iriti from 1968:
(on LP "Ioara Tahiti" - Barclay MB 28.046 - pulished in France)

Tony Marshall (aka Herbert Anton Bloeth) is a full trained opera singer actually. He had a pretty unsuccessfull start with some more "serious" Schlager untill he met Cologne based Producer Jack White (not of White Stripes, this guy's real name is Horst Nußbaum ) in a Sauna!

... the best place to figure up with some Tahiti inspiered Stimmungs-Schlager.
