Wevie Stonder!

6:51am maestroso:

G'morning Ken. We've got JM in the AM on the iphone stream instead of John Allen, FYI. But you probably know this...

🚽

6:55am Guido from Cologne:

Good morning Ken!
JM in the AM on the WFMU web-stream?
Guess there's something wrong!

OOIOO [anything made on her own ]

🚽

8:04am Guido from Cologne:

8:09am Dan B From Upstate:

Requests? It's been a while since you've called in to your own show and left the studio and gone on a drive or to the store. Oh. You're probably looking for music requests.

🚽

8:11am Guido from Cologne:

anything like Iranian pop Lebanese belly dance or Soviet/Post-Soviet underground ... anything like this or what else could mean "freedom of mind" ...

8:11am Dan B From Upstate:

Oh yeah. I saw a tv ad last night for a video game, Forza Horizon 2, that had prisencolinensinainciusol playing during it. Of course I thought of this show.

🚽

8:13am Guido from Cologne:

... arabian or african heavy metal.

8:29am Mark S:

I almost watched Red Band Society last week because I saw the beginning and the song playing behind the opening sequence was "Needle in the Camel's Eye".

(that's my request)

🚽

8:31am Ken From Hyde Park:

Do you have any of those numbers sung by the Russian/Soviet Army chorus?

🚽

9:09am Guido from Cologne:

9:09am Sem Chumbo:

Alternate horsehead scene from Godfather 1. Hiya, Ken, and all.

9:10am fලfල (:

The Fart Metal song was the crappiest ever!

9:11am Robert:

What's ASMR?

9:11am pierre:

this make me feel mmmmmmwwwweird………………

9:13am pierre:

@ Robert : I suspect this : en.wikipedia.org...

9:13am Bern:

broke my clavicle and was ready for a long lonely day in bed til i remembered ken was on - these whispers are fusing my bones

9:13am Dan B From Upstate:

ASMR is people who get a weird but good sensation when they hear people whispering. Heard a thing about it on this american life a year or so ago.

🚽

9:14am Guido from Cologne:

whistpering to close microphone makes me mad!

🚽

9:15am Guido from Cologne:

When does please this stupid browser crash?

9:15am Robert:

I have seen at least one deliberately whisper-narrated intended-sexy YouTube.

9:17am Sam:

Wow, I literally can not listen to that. It makes my skin crawl!

9:18am Bern:

this is what 'scanners' hear, no?

🚽

9:18am Guido from Cologne:

wrong browser!
it doesn't crash!
this will run the entire show!

9:18am AndrewC.:

God I hope it crashed soon.

9:19am Sam:

Capture any good EVP's in there?

9:19am Dan B From Upstate:

Bunny rabbits, satan, cheese and milk.

9:19am pierre:

[I feel wet inside my ears]

9:20am Dan B From Upstate:

What's that voices? Yes, voices. I understand. I must kill Reggie Jackson.

🚽

9:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

By "The Browser," I think it means our brains.

9:21am AndrewC.:

en.wikipedia.org...

9:21am Chris M.:

this is great

🚽

9:22am Webhamster Henry:

I really like this! That means: it sounds like something I'd do.

9:22am DeaconDave:

I have gas

9:24am fලfල (:

Does this qualify as hippie noise?

🚽

9:24am Webhamster Henry:

... Which also means it's something I'll have to avoid in my 2014 best imaginary sound events list.

9:24am Mark S:

look at it this way, Ken could be playing Trace Adkins

9:25am bobdoesthings:

good morning - en.wikipedia.org...

9:26am bobdoesthings:

does anyone else get ASMRs? I get them when people softly touch things.. it's weird.

🚽

9:26am Guido from Cologne:

Some flanging effect would work great.

9:27am Sem Chumbo:

from whispering to growling. Gotta be whistling soon.

9:29am People Like Us:

Yayyy, Adam Bohman
hi Ken :)

9:29am r i s k y:

AMAZING! Go Ken!

9:30am Sam:

Yodeling and bagpipes

9:30am sphere:

Now where's my machine gun?

9:30am Robert:

That's probably how the rabbit felt whose ear we were drawing blood from to make antibodies.

🚽

9:31am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Sem - First is stomach growlings, then whistling, followed by finger tapping.

9:31am People Like Us:

oh that was good timing

9:32am Listener_konrad:

KEN: I'm so happy you're also amused by ASMRists — the best/most disturbing I've found are anything from this guy's channel: but especially "The Sleepman" http://youtu.be/F_qCGlFQ_pA

🚽

9:32am Webhamster Henry:

These are relatives of the Shemp Meditation Tape.

9:33am Sem Chumbo:

@KFHP:slippery annoyance slope, for sure.

9:33am bobdoesthings:

autonomous sensory meridian response. - the beautiful little tingles you get in your brain and down your spine. I was amazed to learn not everyone gets them!

9:33am Sam:

The tingling is because it's giving you a stroke

9:35am Sam:

The pig latin lady has a total American accent

9:35am People Like Us:

Adam Bohman has a new exhibition at Cafe Oto this week - he's a visual artiste too cafeoto.co.uk...

9:35am Robert:

Ken, I think a lot of us have had such feelings, but since the criterion in the Wikipedia entry is that they be PLEASANT, I doubt many of us have had ASMR. I've gotten tingling from the sensation you describe, but it was Unpleasant. Breath stimulation via the ear I find pleasant (Daddy used to do it to us), but not producing those remote sensations, just being locally tickly.

🚽

9:36am Webhamster Henry:

ASMR ubbi-dubbi would be good. www.youtube.com...

9:40am Sem Chumbo:

KKKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

9:40am bobdoesthings:

🚽

9:43am Ken:

Yes, I just bought two Khlam CDs I never heard before!

9:43am Kathy:

still waiting for that KHLAM!!! cd

9:43am sphere:

Damn this is fine.

9:43am Sem Chumbo:

Were the mothers of the members of Khlam recipients of late career David Crosby gametes?

9:43am doca:

@Ken: where can us listeners find it to support KHLAM?

9:47am still b/p:

спасибо, my friends, спасибо. That was very good.

9:48am glenn:

there are no bad versions of mister sandman. it's a great song.

9:48am Sem Chumbo:

Wait til FXO get ahold of this. He'll mash it up real good.

9:49am DeaconDave:

HEEEEEEEEEEY!

9:51am pierre:

NNNOOOO NOT the Sleepman !!!
this last 15 minutes guys, plus he has the creepiest "eyes wide shut" sort of masks…………

9:51am MD:

Welcome Falllllllllllllllllllll!!!

9:52am bobdoesthings:

9:53am Listener_konrad:

🚽

9:54am Guido from Cologne:

What is really great about this episode:
you can hear so much music along with it!

9:54am People Like Us:

Ken, you should play some Nancy O Graham - she records herself falling asleep and sleep talking/singing www.wfmu.org... - I have lots at the Radio Boredcast page

9:55am rw:

Hellchild is making me feel all tingly.

9:56am Planet Tyler:

10:01am still b/p:

I want devil carrot horns!

10:03am Laura L:

10:06am People Like Us:

many thanks! I just put a video of the reheasal of the show on vimeo: vimeo.com...

10:07am Laura L:

Ooh, thanks, Vicki!

10:07am bobdoesthings:

it got like this because you entered that ASMR rabbit hole..

10:12am Tim:

Album by Khlam is "Industrial Jazz" (not dance). Track is "Uncle" (дядя)

10:12am AndrewC.:

Vicki - That sort of thing happens when I fall asleep while reading the kids bed time stories. Though they notice pretty quick and snap me out of it.

10:13am Listener_konrad:

Is it дядя? That's "dyadya" or Russian for ""uncle"...

10:16am Fern:

New Tricky? I like it.

10:16am rsj:

i realize why you're playing this ken
how's the rest of the album?

10:18am Andrew Waterloo:

I miss the good ole days of trying to read the 6th book while wanting to fall asleep.

10:24am bobdoesthings:

thanks for skipping ahead ken.

10:24am rw:

On the playlist it looks like the devil is shaking dandruff out of his horns down onto the woman in the bathtub.

10:28am bobdoesthings:

yesssss

10:28am doca:

Oh KHLAM has been around for this long? 1995!

10:29am dictater:

Pop up is dropping right and left, any one else?

10:29am Mark S:

First David Crosby then Stephen Stills!

10:30am Dan B From Upstate:

No pop up issues here.

10:30am GeesyCreesy:

@dictater: No problems today, but i had frequent issues with the player a few weeks ago.

10:31am dictater:

Must be the 10,000 miles or so difference.

10:31am Mark S:

pop up good

10:31am rw:

I had issues with the stream a while back. Restarting the computer seemed to do the trick.

10:32am βrian:

"Is your pop-up dropping or are you sad to see me."

10:34am SeanG:

best gif yet

10:34am glenn:

hey, spangly dancer chicks.

10:34am People Like Us:

I think this needs to play faster Ken

10:36am rw:

In the last measure the score goes into a threesome.

10:36am JakeGould:

Hello folks! Rare off day for me.

10:37am still b/p:

Men don't always find the G-clef.

10:39am Andrew Waterloo:

The prelude to fornication reminds me of this: www.youtube.com...

10:44am Okasa:

Prelude du Fornication is clearly in the key of F.

10:44am glenn:

leonard cohen is eighty years old. he's going to start smoking again.

10:44am Lou:

Saw you at the replacements show. Care to play a track or three?

10:45am rsj:

that's bob dylan

10:46am Dean:

Prelude du Fornication is a suite of variations on themes by Fux, Suk, and Blow.

10:47am Thelma Blitz:

The old Leonard Cohen is not the old Leonard Cohen but he's better than no Leonard Cohen.

10:47am Andrew Waterloo:

It's one of those spiritual things where you reach the key of G but fall back on the key of F and then rest on the key of B

10:47am YETI BOB:

more Khlam and drunken Russians, less Sad Leonard Cohen (please)

10:47am JakeGould:

“he's going to start smoking again.” Yes, if you set his shirt on fire.

🚽

10:49am Guido from Cologne:

... I wanted to white somthing smart about Cohen and age of 80 but it does not work out. so I write something stupid.

10:49am tikk:

Did this Leonard Cohen-Tom Waits merger clear antitrust regulations?

10:50am Greg from Bloomfield:

Tony The Tiger!

10:50am Dean:

I'll tell you who's going to start smoking pretty soon. It's those crotchets rattling the staff.

10:50am egal:

10:50am Guido from Cologne:

🚽

10:51am Guido from Cologne:

10:51am βrian:

Purgatory or purgative?

10:52am jan:

10:59am Planet Tyler:

11:00am Mark S:

Argentinian Artists Give Barbie, Ken Doll Makeovers to Resemble Virgin Mary, Jesus Crucified:
www.christianpost.com...

11:06am rw:

PT: My theory has always been that NC from the Birthday Party is the real Nick Cave, and the artist Nick Cave capitalizes on the fact that he's the namesake. But that's just my theory. No facts whatsoever to back it up.

11:08am still b/p:

My miserable connection can't keep the stream going in any player. I'm very....cross.

11:09am YETI BOB:

still b/p : move to New Jersey and listen on the radio

11:10am Planet Tyler:

RW: I figure USA NC gets a lot of extra attention from sharing the name but he's good enough to be on his own! He's also about the same age as Aussie NC I think...

11:11am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth und die Leuten neben die Welt.

11:29am Mark S:

🚽

11:30am Ken:

Yeah I heard about Neil and Darryl Hannah. Oh well, at least Daryl is like 55 years old by now. Coulda been worse - Neil coulda started dating Ariana Grande or somethin

11:30am still b/p:

Keep on rockin' in the free-range world!

Or Steve Stills toast

11:36am fලfල (:

Ken,

By any chance, did you read about the 'Jesus in Toast' scientific study, the one that was just recently awarded an IG Nobel Prize? I'm not joking. The 'Jesus in toast' phenomena has now a scientific backup.

11:38am bobdoesthings:

I sing this chorus everytime I put on a suit or anything fancy..

11:39am rw:

Hmmm.... a CSNY toaster. What do y'all think?
