6:19am Mark S:

Hi dee ho

6:37am cory:

mornin' all. bummed I won't get to hear the show until three, yet oddly happy that I'll get a four hour block of Ken. 7SD won't be too depressing, will it?

7:17am P-90:

Good Morning Ken and all. Ken, I was listening the the other night after the news broke about Robin Williams and the depressed gentleman was posting on the Comments board and you popped right up to.communicate with him and offer him your email address. Just wanted to say, that was most cool.

7:28am listener mark:

Hello

8:07am Ken:

Thanks P-90. Any requests anybody? Ive been so busy preparing for my video show next week that for this week, I got nothin.

8:18am Robert:

How did your presentation a week ago go?

8:22am Robert:

Notice that as Mousie throws hirself around & out of out of the wheel, the pink axle has stopped turning.

8:25am Robert:

It looks like a blur frame has been substituted for the wheel motion at that point.

8:26am Robert:

However, it would be cool is a mouse actually did that, and I think many of them would enjoy doing so if they could figure out how.

🚽

8:31am Ken:

Sorry to interrupt your conversation Robert. My talk last week went great, thanks for asking.

8:48am Marcel M:

Morning guys morning Ken!

8:55am Marcel M:

Hey Ken, would you play something from Derek Bailey's "Drum N' Bass" record? Pretty weird record.

9:00am f« » f« » (:

Great GIFS! The TV presenter one reminds me of that other GIF where a dog stares with its weird eyeballs some delicious biscuits. I propose to file the snake handler one under 'GIF classics' right there with the talking egg.

9:01am DJ Stashu:

OK sweet track. Work sucks.

9:01am common:

9:40am Marcel M:

9:52am Robert:

Someday I'm going to make a diagram like the one on the blackboard for "Lost", but with color coding to indicate the transmission of themes, names, descriptions. and proximity clues.

9:52am Bob Bowers:

The tunes you pick cheer me up! They just make me laugh. Thanks, BB

9:54am f« » f« » (:

Far Away Places by the Springfields is one of those few songs in the history of mankind that happens to be perfect.

9:55am Brendan:

Im finally losing it. Hearing lullaby music. I knew this day would come - just not so soon

9:56am Brendan:

I guess how soon is now

9:56am conkrete_dawg:

9:59am Rob W:

Noura Mint Seymali = Mauritania. Played on my show a few months ago, plug plug...

9:59am d¢ pät:

Hello everyone, SM Ken, ghosts, music notes, etc...

10:01am Dan B From Upstate:

It's gotten to the point where whenever I'm frustrated with something, and I say Jesus in my head I just hear Ken saying "JAY-zus!"

10:02am cthulhu:

The Pork Torta

🚽

10:02am Guido from Cologne:

Guten TZAG Ken & everybody!

10:04am Neg-guh-tor:

Richter. I checked to see if my iTunes had started by accident.

10:04am Neg-guh-tor:

I have tried to turn my friends on to this work. No one cares.

10:07am f« » f« » (:

Where the music/video show is going to be broadcast? Here or do we need to go to a some special link?

10:07am thedunkel:

I care

🚽

10:09am Ken:

The Music video show will be viewable from our website, or from the WFMU app (either iPhone, iPad or Android). Once we work out all the problems!

10:11am f« » f« » (:

Thanks, Ken! Can't wait!

🚽

10:12am Guido from Cologne:

German lyrics are very close to the English original actually.

10:12am Tome:

oh wow mutube is coming to a theater near you,, good morning fearless leader and all you kiddles ,,

10:12am Sam:

Here's my French translation of Nirvana's "Come as you are":
Viens, comme tu es, comme t'etais, comme je veux que tu sois,
Comme un ami, comme un ami, comme un ancien memoire
Et je te jure que je n'aiiii pas de flingue

10:13am JoelA:

Waiting for the chorus.....

10:13am etruscan:

such a beautiful language!

10:14am rdkls:

oh man this is terrible

10:14am f« » f« » (:

What a shame Klaus Bayer has a video of Die Glotzer (?) but it's SO lo-fi crap! Otherwise it could be shown today!

10:15am Stevel:

My Beatle brain is swelling.

10:17am Sem Chumbo:

This is a Revolution a rabbit could get behind.

10:17am Sam:

Killah solo!

10:17am conkrete_dawg:

and Ringo on the trombone

10:17am Neg-guh-tor:

George was a fucking ripper.

10:17am Brian C.:

Who is playing this guitar? John or George?

10:19am d¢ pät:

...or Paul who killed on guitar...

10:19am Neg-guh-tor:

Could've been John, too, but it's so ragged and distinct I guess George.

10:21am sphere:

Wow. Take 20 is too cool.

10:21am d¢ pät:

I love the Beatles and always will but an interesting idea occurred to me: I wonder if it's possible for WFMU to impose a year-long moratorium on any music related at all to the Beatles. Might be an interesting challenge. Even if a tune's lyrics mentions the Beatles, not allowed...

10:23am Sam:

How about a year long moratorium on all rock and roll? That would be interesting.

10:24am Sem Chumbo:

@ d¢ pät: it would be a re-defintion of freeform radio, certainly.

10:25am listener james from westwood:

Behold the salmon cannon, a sort of railgun for migratory fish: news.sky.com...

10:26am d¢ pät:

yeah, they'd have to put a little asterisk next to freeform*...

10:26am Cecile:

Hi, all!

10:26am d¢ pät:

CECILE

10:26am adrian in mpls:

Hi Cecile!

10:27am Sem Chumbo:

The BOLD PRINT giveth and the * taketh away, everything except the lisp.

10:27am Andrew Waterloo:

a moratorium on rock 'n roll here would wipe out a significant chunk of the schedule.

10:31am f« » f« » (:

I vote for the Beatles embargo!

But clandestinely I'll keep listening to them just as dictators of embargoed countries do when they keep on buying luxury goods from the West.

10:31am northguineahills:

@james: interesting, and it wasn't even a euphemism.

10:32am adrian in mpls:

Hildegard of Bingen is moving up the chart like a bullet!

10:32am listener james from westwood:

@NGH: Indeed! It's just begging for the right soundtrack, though.

10:32am sphere:

banning rock and roll would be a problem. how the heck would you define it?

10:32am Cecile:

That was awesome.

10:33am Sem Chumbo:

How about banning everything in 4/4 time?

10:33am MD:

IT'S THE MUSIC THE KIDS LISTEN TO!!!

10:33am common:

what was brian adams doin' in there?

10:33am r i s k y:

Oh my, this is just great. It's a pure blue balling for any 'classical fans'.

🚽

10:33am Ken:

Guess what? Playlist rules and restrictions imposed from on high or down low aint gonna happen on WFMU.

🚽

10:34am Guido from Cologne:

Very simple:
no rolls for dinner and no rocks in the buidlding.

10:34am common:

viva la free form!

10:34am f« » f« » (:

You mean Brian Von Adams.

10:34am MD:

kKen can you play some Classical Brian Adans???

10:34am common:

Ha!

10:35am Mark S:

Right on Ken!

10:35am still b/p:

Gonna change my name to "Luxury Goods From The West."

10:37am d¢ pät:

yeah, I didn't think so...oh well.

10:37am northguineahills:

Haven't heard DJ Yoda since Billy Jam was on Friday afternoons.

🚽

10:42am Guido from Cologne:

Folge zwei ("episode two")
oder
Teil zweit ("volume/part 2")
;-)

10:42am Andrew Waterloo:

Have to request the video for Udong by Japandorf

10:42am Jeff:

Georg Prokofiev?

10:43am common:

yay! wevie!

🚽

10:45am Ken:

G. Prokofiev. Maybe it stands for Gerry?

10:47am Marcel M:

Limbo release line.. haha

10:47am conkrete_dawg:

if you have a touch-tone phone...

10:48am adrian in mpls:

ahh, the vestibule of indecision - i know it well

10:49am Mark S:

related to the outer hall of regret

10:50am Marcel M:

Virtuous pagans.. sounds like a nice place.

10:51am Cecile:

Can you play by Party Fears 2 by the Associates?

10:57am adrian in mpls:

i tend to shuttle between the vestibule of indecision and the outer hall of regret -- the doors tend to get locked behind me

11:00am Neg-guh-tor:

This Wevie De Crepon song ton wah making sense to me.

11:00am Cecile:

YES
<3

11:05am Mark S:

Son, sometimes it is better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done

11:05am paula pc:

@ cecile - wonderful request, and excellent vsn ken had...

11:06am Dan B From Upstate:

beefaroni!

11:06am sphere:

T-bone steak!

11:07am bobdoesthings:

HAHAHA great image for this haha

11:08am Malcolm:

beefaroni but lonely :)

11:08am f« » f« » (:

Morrissey is not a (sane) man.

11:09am paula pc:

i'm not sure what's going on

11:09am Brendan:

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dtmgtWYivYw -Morrissey singing beefaroni ad nauseam

11:10am conkrete_dawg:

did Morrissey bump his head?

11:10am common:

perfect image for this tune, ken

11:10am Robert:

Instead of a restriction, they could do it like dead air chicken, and whoever 1st plays the Beatles "loses". Wouldn't be much of a chicken contest, though.

11:10am Sem Chumbo:

@c_d: yah, that's why he's wearing the tall hat.

11:11am tikk:

Morrissey should stop meating around the bush and just steak what he feels.

🚽

11:12am Webhamster Henry:

It's going to take a while to recover from this Morrissey.

11:12am Dan B From Upstate:

ain't got no beefaroni!

11:13am Brendan:

'Staircase at the university' is an interesting track if you have the World Peace record still out ken

11:15am KP:

How's the T-Bone

11:17am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

I keep hearing the term T-Bone with personal injury lawyer ads lately. Does that mean I get a steak if I win the case?

11:18am Nate K:

I like mash potatoes, but they are virtually useless without the t-bone.

🚽

11:18am Guido from Cologne:

Tot 4 veggies!
Is there a song like "Get on the Tofu-Train" ?

11:18am Andrew Waterloo:

That should be changed from "Macaroni with Seitan" to "Lonely with Seitan"

11:18am bobdoesthings:

well I know what I'm making for dinner.

11:20am Brendan:

Neil can milk the one note solo like none other

🚽

11:21am Guido from Cologne:

mashed Potatoes ... work with "Eisbein & Sauerkraut!".

11:23am f« » f« » (:

Can someone explain me the significance/meaning/reasoning of the T-Bone song ? I understand Neil Young is a master lyricist but for the life of me I just don't get it.

But there is at least one thing I can appreciate from this song: Neil Young didn't tried to rhyme T-Bone with 'cancer of the throat'.

11:23am bobdoesthings:

"occasionally moderate" .. isn't it always?

11:24am conkrete_dawg:

squally, good

🚽

11:25am Guido from Cologne:

German weather service says:
Monsun rain! get prepared for rice transplanting and sowing!

11:25am Brendan:

Free range bird

11:27am bobdoesthings:

showers good ... does this mean.. good chance of, that there will be rain but itll be a good time?, or good = no rain..

11:29am f« » f« » (:

My commenting here is regularly poor never moderate, nor good.

11:29am marmalade kitty:

Helllllllllllge!

11:30am HarktheUmpire:

Helllllllllllge!

11:30am bngolde:

Ich bin daaaaa lalelel

11:30am conkrete_dawg:

ich bin allein in mein cubicle

11:31am Cecile:

Neil is so broke he can't afford a steak to go with his mashed potatoes

11:31am Golde:

you know what the gate once said, boys

11:31am HarktheUmpire:

Allein sein kann auf Dauer unsozial machen.

11:32am f« » f« » (:

Thank you, Cecile. Now I understand what are Neil Young real motivations behind the Kickstarter project.

11:33am Mark S:

I thought Neil was putting together a grocery shopping list

🚽

11:33am Guido from Cologne:

German translation service says:
Helge Schneider describes his death as an alcoholic, his burrial in the neighbourhood of celebrity alcoholics, his resurrection as zombie and final cure from addiction since the bartender is to frightend to serve a zombie.

11:34am f« » f« » (:

Where's the video ? It's not in the front page.

11:34am People Like Us:

is this the bit where we imagine what they are doing?

11:35am Cecile:

You gotta play Weird Al's new polka medley

11:35am People Like Us:

this is similar to reading a book on the air but not saying anything :)

🚽

11:35am Ken:

No video today f0f0 just testing it internally.

11:35am People Like Us:

it's inside you?

11:38am People Like Us:

is it me or are the animated gifs now having a problem refreshing? Ken?

11:39am Dan B From Upstate:

i'm noticing the same thing on the gifs.

11:39am golde:

the gifs are crashing!!!!

11:39am Mark S:

no gifs for me

🚽

11:39am Guido from Cologne:

Gezan track is GREAT

11:40am People Like Us:

am guessing that Ken's video show will not have the gifs though so it might not be a problem

11:40am Golde:

It's a conspiracy!! He's sabotaging the GIFS!!!

11:41am f« » f« » (:

Well, the animated gifs seem too animated for me today.

11:41am Mark S:

this might be rock and roll

11:41am paula pc:

gezan video for this song is awesome too

11:42am northguineahills:

They're working for me, but sometimes they disappear .

🚽

11:42am Ken:

I get it. No more GIFs today.

11:44am People Like Us:

it's affecting the loading of the images on the frontpage in a similar way

11:44am P-90:

My gifs aren't disappearing, they're just freezing intermittently

11:44am Mark S:

the GIFs are sporadic for me

11:44am P-90:

same with gif avatars on Comments

11:45am Golde:

If you don't mind, it would be nice if you might choose some more modest GIF imagery...

11:45am conkrete_dawg:

choosy mothers choose gif

🚽

11:45am Ken:

Golde, you are talking like a crazy person again.

11:46am f« » f« » (:

Wait a moment!!! I have absolute no problems with the GIFs! Maybe it's your browser, peoples.

11:47am Andrew Waterloo:

Modesty is for modest people.

11:47am People Like Us:

I'm noticing that my animated gif here is actually pausing every few seconds (just trying to help with these boring observations)

🚽

11:47am Ken:

No, f0f0, I just removed one very large GIF in an effort to relieve the stress.

11:47am Golde:

If you don't mind...

11:48am nate:

I'm using Netscape 3.2 and they load fine

11:48am Quinn:

We are lying and sitting on the floor and enjoying your show. Charlie periodically looks toward the speakers with his mouth hanging open, especially when you start speaking.

11:49am People Like Us:

oh ignore the last thing I said, that's what it does
I'll get me coat

11:49am f« » f« » (:

What's wrong with staring at the speakers with the mouth hanging open?

11:51am P-90:

@ PLU I was just thinking: doesn't her gif always work that way?

11:51am Mark S:

ha ha netscape good one

11:52am f« » f« » (:

I remember the days when i had Netscape Navigator. I felt like i was driving the web in a Ferrari deluxe.

11:52am Cecile:

He's singing about me!

11:53am common:

sudden infant...just gets better and better

11:53am egal:

I miss Mosaic.

11:54am Golde:

I'm here with my dear friend all the way from New Squir, Frimi Lipshitz ... the GIFs are just a little immodest...

11:54am Jack:

We still use Netscape 7.2 for our home email. Mosaic!

11:54am Cecile:

Except for the dead part. Choose life!

11:54am Mark S:

"She's dead by her own hand" I hope not Cecile

11:55am nate:

someone should write a rock opera about the browser wars.

11:55am f« » f« » (:

I once searched for the Girl lyrics. Didn't found anything.

i know he's not saying "Now she's dead, marionette". So what he is really saying?

11:55am Mark S:

Is that on a Windows 95 PC nate?

11:55am Cecile:

Dead by her own hand

11:56am Guido from Cologne:

Got it, Mark S. Now i think I'll stick to my own version of the lyrics.

11:57am nate:
