Bacon is Always the Answer: Ken's show

Listener comments!

6:30am Jack:

Morning Ken (and listeners). Ken, what do you do for breakfast on these mornings? Do you eat breakfast? Just curious...

🚽

6:31am Ken:

Hello early morning party people!

🚽

6:32am Ken:

Hi Jack, I eat cereal: berry flax protein crunch, with shelled hemp seed and flax seed and blueberries or apple.

6:34am Jack:

mmm...that's wholesome. I didn't figure you for the bacon & egg sandwich type.

6:35am groucho:

Yup

8:41am f░f░ (:

Hi, Jack, Ken, Ken, Jack, groucho!

Great Ageetbeetpotsbees!!!

🚽

8:43am Ken:

Hey f0f0

8:48am Marcel M:

Morning Ken, FOFO, people of the world.

8:51am SeanG:

Rise and Shine!

8:53am Bickie:

Hi Ken! Are you taking requests?

🚽

8:56am Guido from Cologne:

Ken,
I guess you must be the best station manager in the world and scheduling is anything but an easy task and Todd gets a well deserved attractive slot on Saturday with his energy sparkling show, which fits just perfect after Rex and for sure will collect lotsa $$ next fundraiser but:
WE CANNOT DO WITHOUT KEILI !!!
Her show is much too distinctive !

8:58am cory:

wow, maybe that should have been an email?

8:59am Robert:

Guido, I thought the same way about Terre T. Heck, I thought the same about Michele Boule!

🚽

9:00am Guido from Cologne:

If I got it right Terre stopped herself.

9:00am Jack:

There's a space probe landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at around 11AM EST this morning. Can you play something appropriate, Ken? The ESA team in charge of the landing are Germans; I'm betting they make it.

9:00am Okasa:

Good morning Ken(s)! Good morning non-Kens! I can't stick around (meetings in the AM), but just wanted to wish you a good show. Rotsa Ruck!

9:02am Robert:

Heck, I not only miss the lapsed DJs, I miss the material that ones who've sstuck around like Kamikaze Diane USED TO play!

9:03am Robert:

And I miss the way I WAS then! What we've got to remember is that these people have lives too.

9:03am common:

morn

🚽

9:03am Ken From Hyde Park:

Gosh, what surprise is Nachum referring to?

9:05am Sem Chumbo:

Agony bag spin first thing! Scots for the win! Thanks, Ken.

9:06am SpeedyPete:

I like motorcycles....

9:07am groucho:

I'll miss the underwater theme park the most. Knickers to the rest.

9:10am Robert:

I miss Stork, Wild Girl (a little), Pat Duncan....

9:11am Jack:

"Conspiracy" ? What happened to Dave Emorys' show? hmmm....

9:12am Marcel M:

Whats the deal with Jim Price/Scott's slot? They are splitting the time slot?

9:14am Cheri Pi:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

9:17am sinister dexter:

good morning ..... i miss HotRod

9:18am Marcel M:

@Robert: Storck isn't gone, just moved to Friday's 9-12.

9:19am Robert:

I miss Stork Club, the one without the "c", Marcel.

9:20am Marcel M:

Ahhh, my bad.

9:21am Robert:

I miss not having a pirate on 91.3

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Robert
If the stars align just right, there may be some Stork in our future. Keep fingers x'd.

9:23am Robert:

But would I trade WFMU's current lineup & facilities for what was 30 yrs. ago, or 20, or 10? I don't think so.

9:24am Robert:

Thanks for the info/rumor, DS.

🚽

9:25am Ken:

Catch you all later.

9:26am groucho:

Yup

9:26am SeanG:

the present is all that matters

9:26am Doug C.:

I think I heard the young people jitter-bugging to this at the malt shop last night.

9:28am Robert:

We don't even have digital archives from back then, just some scattered cassettes some of us taped off air to play for or mail to people elsewhere. Now stuff never goes away.

🚽

9:28am Guido from Cologne:

I used to mistake beacon for bacon ... hehehe ...

9:28am adrian in mpls:

mrrrning!

9:30am bobdoesthings:

good morning

🚽

9:34am Webhamster Henry:

This Scott Walker / Sun O))) is almost as if it were made for WFMU.

9:35am Cheri Pi:

See Ken, this is what Loutallica *Could have been* but failed.

9:35am SeanG:

Jonesy!

9:38am bobdoesthings:

Joe Belock didn't play it the other day I think...

9:38am common:

9:39am cory:

9:39am Sam:

🚽

9:39am Guido from Cologne:

9:44am cory:

@common, thanks dude!

9:44am common:

@cory: think that's right. i love that one. so stupid and great.

9:49am common:

i hope this is real, ken.

9:49am Sam:

This would be really pretty without the singing

🚽

9:49am Guido from Cologne:

this sounds like a Ken-mix ...

9:51am dale:

ken, please do a bob dylan/orchestral stew for us as well.

9:51am SeanG:

that sounded great

🚽

9:51am Webhamster Henry:

How about a soundtrack for the upcoming comet landing circa 11:00?

9:53am rsj:

id say this is a mashup, but i don't recognize the backing track

9:54am dale:

it's lyle lovett and his large band all over again

9:54am f░f░ (:

A space probe landing-in-a-comet song? That sounds like a job for..

the one...

the only....

...L Ron Hubbard!

9:55am pocket vito:

I want to drive my car too, but I didn't write a whole boring song about it!

9:55am f░f░ (:

That made me miss the T-Bone song.

🚽

9:56am Webhamster Henry:

You haven't done that track scan trick in quite some while!

9:56am Doug C.:

Can you say Bar Big Band?

9:56am Marcel M:

Pitchfork gave this record a 4.8 haha

9:56am rsj:

me too, it was like t-bone without all the feeling and meaning

9:56am adrian in mpls:

.....this is why i stopped even trying to deal with neil young years ago

9:57am Timurf:

This new Neil Young release is the best Billy Joel album to come out in years

9:57am bobdoesthings:

HAHAHAHA

9:59am rsj:

this should definitely be mashed up with that bob dylan album somehow, i think he could add some much needed crag

9:59am SeanG:

processing

9:59am Sem Chumbo:

A Ken Burns doc soundtrack?

9:59am f░f░ (:

Neil Young..I have a new word for you:

NeilTALLICA!!!

9:59am Doug C.:

ken, you can stop now.

🚽

10:00am Webhamster Henry:

I spell antidote F-E-L-I-X K-U-B-I-N .

10:00am adrian in mpls:

10:00am rsj:

it's gonna be bob dylan

🚽

10:00am Guido from Cologne:

Nothing new ...biggest problem about Neil is : he sings

10:01am cory:

i really dig this album, although i prefer Manson's boat ride

10:02am f░f░ (:

Primus on my WFMU?!

10:02am rsj:

saw my old copies of sailing the seas of cheese and pork soda the other day...

10:03am cory:

@rsj, do you sing Grandpa's Little Ditty in the shower also?

10:04am rsj:

not for years, though i see happy kids and a mad wife in my near future

10:05am listener mark:

Good morning. Next silent fund raising October marathon I don't send money until after the schedule change. I are not happy.

10:05am DCE:

pure tedium

10:06am βrian:

Is not tedium pure by definition?

10:06am Fake person:

of many new albums I have heard I have enjoyed primus the most! Thanks for such a wonderful morning set. just what the doctor ordered especially for all the sick people in the house.

🚽

10:06am Ken:

Email me Mark and I will send your money back. I would prefer that.

10:07am Sem Chumbo:

It is if you listen to my dealer, @Brian i UK.

10:07am listener mark:

Too late. I already used my sticker.

🚽

10:07am Seanbelly:

Where can I find the new schedule?

🚽

10:09am Ken:

Not too late Mark, I got you pegged anyway, a check is on its way.

10:10am SeanG:

I think every schedule change is awesome! new sounds and variety

🚽

10:10am Webhamster Henry:

Kubin has also gone orchestral, as you can hear.

10:10am bobdoesthings:

@seanbelly -- wfmu.org...

10:10am cory:

man, i'd hate to be around some of you when something really important changes

10:10am w41:

Seanbelly: the news on the front page, first item.

10:11am cory:

off tp twitter. still listening Ken, thanks. you rock

10:11am listener mark:

I won't cash it and you'll have to carry that amount over from one fiscal year to the next for all eternity.

10:11am adrian in mpls:

I agree with SeanG - I'm really happy to see the return of the Frow Show and Todd!

🚽

10:12am Seanbelly:

@bobdoesthings Thanks!

10:12am SeanG:

right on Adrian!

10:13am People Like Us:

DJs need to rest too.

10:13am f░f░ (:

Perhaps one strategy to deal with a new schedule someone is not comfortable with is to use the archive! Two days ago I decided that I am going to listen to all Irwin Chusid files! A different one everyday. That way my happiness level and intention to support WFMU will remain the same no matter what the current schedule is on.

10:14am listener mark:

Major changes I can handle. But if I break a shoelace, I want to smash something. Repeatedly.

10:14am adrian in mpls:

@listener mark -- we who deal with accounting have our ways of dealing with those outstanding things -- write it off!

10:14am βrian:

I like Todd, though I do think he could use one of these:
http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/chickens/No-Crow-Rooster-Collar-p1580.aspx
Moderato cantabile, dude!

10:17am listener mark:

@adrian~~ But the books won't balance. The universe will be askew.

10:17am Laura L:

I'm going to see "Powerhouse" again tonight here in NYC--the great Raymond Scott theatrical work--thanks for playing both Foetus and Raymond Scott, Ken!

10:18am MD:

Caint the Message board just read my mind...so I don't have to do the PAPERWORK!!!!???

10:18am DCE:

me no want to think

10:19am DCE:

me just work

🚽

10:19am Guido from Cologne:

Who is still discussing Stockhausen facing the work of innoivators like Raymond Scott? Cudos to WFMU-DJ Irwin for curating the Raymond Scott Archives and such great CD-releases.

🚽

10:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

The hassle of the future is going to be all the cloudwork we'll be wasting time with.

10:22am bobdoesthings:

me with dce, same

10:22am SeanG:

hippychick

10:23am f░f░ (:

I used to hate Irwin Chusid.

Until I found out I was confusing him with Kenny G.

10:24am Billy Jam:

morning Ken and fellow FMU listeners

10:24am common:

wow...where was i?

10:26am Laura L:

What Guido said. Nichtsdestoweniger ist Stockhausen auch wunderbar.

10:27am common:

billy jam!

🚽

10:28am Ken:

Hi Laura, Hi Billy!

10:28am Brendan:

Hi Ken,
Sorry I'm late. I have a note though.

🚽

10:29am Ken:

Lemme see it Brendan.

10:30am βrian:

Comet landing live stream:
new.livestream.com...

10:31am listener mark:

@f_f_(: Hate is a strong word. If I don't like the program I spin the dial. WUSB, WFUV, WVKR, WJFF, WAMC, all fine stations. Or I could play one of the 3,000 cds in my collection, but then I would have to think. And do the paperwork.

🚽

10:32am Guido from Cologne:

For all who understand German and are into Stockhausen or into Fluxus, here an 1-hour interview with his wife Mary Bauermeiser (my favourite Fluxus artist and by the way a proto-proto-Hippie back in some early 60ies): podcast-ww.wdr.de...

10:33am Brendan:

BrEnd@n iS lAte . Plees xcuze him.
Sincerely,
JuAn EpStien's m0+her

10:33am DCE:

@ listener mark, give wcsb.org a try sometime too

10:34am Cecile:

Three words for the next schedule: We want Lamin.

10:35am steve:

i live a life of solitude, but have been working from a communal workspace in my neighborhood the past two days, and would like to report that WFMU appears to make normal people pretty uncomfortable. especially Brian's show.

🚽

10:36am Ken:

Cecile, tell that to Lamin. Maybe it will encourage him to apply for a slot.

10:36am Laura L:

@Guido--danke sehr!

10:38am achim:

watch rosetta live going down on a comet
new.livestream.com...

10:38am Cecile:

You mean he hasn't applied?!?!??!?!?!
That is crazy! I will have to do that.

10:38am adrian in mpls:

@steve - i've had that experience several times in the last few months now that i'm in my own office -- folks always seem to come in during Bryce's show -- the music usually shepherds them out the door very quickly

10:39am listener mark:

WFMU needs more static, feedback, bug noises, and clicking sounds.
OK, now I'm switching to the comet thing.

10:39am steve:

ill sign that petition Cecile!

🚽

10:39am Ken:

Cecile and Mark, and everybody else. There is always WAY more to it than meets the eye when it comes to the schedule. I will reply to each and every email I get on the new schedule. Kindly keep this shit off my playlist page. Thank you.

🚽

10:39am Guido from Cologne:

Bitteschön Laura!

10:39am MD:

WFMU IS MY BACON...

10:40am Cecile:

Sorry. I responded to other people. I'll drop him a line.

10:40am βrian:

I've already taken a shine to Comet Technician with Pony Tail.

10:41am MD:

I think i am hearing a new 7 second delay opening song!!!!

10:41am Brendan:

Great morning music for any number activities

10:42am βrian:

Scott Walker is anathema in our neck of the woods.

10:42am duke:

WFMU making people uncomfortable? They're just the wrong kind of people.

10:43am the Canterbury wood-elf:

Thanks achim, i've now got a small window open on my screen showing some worried people wearing headmics, kind of fits the sounds in my headphones in a strange way.

10:44am MikeY:

My wife says 7" is rare

10:44am achim:

yes canterburry wood elf
thats the stuff
what did you expect man? thats what space travel looks like if matthew mcconaughey is not on the screen

10:45am Irwin:

10:46am the Canterbury wood-elf:

i was kind of expecting to see some contraption landing on a comet. maybe i still will. it's all good, regardless.

10:46am SheWolf:

I will be there for the premiere of Sex & Broadcasting. Woot!

10:47am βrian:

My font is melting!

🚽

10:47am Ken From Hyde Park:

The comet lander may have already touched down, but the radio waves haven't gotten here to tell us so, is that right?

10:48am Hot Mess:

Powerhouse trailer she crash

Ten minutes and counting. Please don your security lanyards.

10:50am adrian in mpls:

Buttress O'Knell!! Yes!!

10:50am f░f░ (:

10:53am Guido from Cologne:

Is this the revenge for Bowie not performing "Heroes2 on Berlin-Wall-Opening anniversary himself but sending Peter gabriel instead?

10:53am paulWCBN:

i think it's time for Ding

10:53am βrian:

Comet streaming looks to be bogging down ...

10:54am SheWolf:

10:56am Guido from Cologne:

Is there a European distributor for the "S&B"-WFMU-doc already?

🚽

10:58am Ken:

No Guido, there is no distributor at all.

10:58am bill:

Just saw The Master last night!

11:02am Bickie:

Hi Ken, if you feel like doing more Wahlbeck could you play "Det låg inte vår i luften"? It's my favorite! Thanks from Switzerland not Sweden.

11:02am David Redbranch:

Wow, Swedish Chef on vocals!

11:02am f░f░ (:

Guido,

Have you ever met Andy from Berlin?

🚽

11:04am Webhamster Henry:

Looks like Rosetta success!

11:05am duke:

Everyone is cheering. Looks like good news

11:05am Brendan:

Google Mita's Rush Oddities.

🚽

11:06am Guido from Cologne:

fofo(:
we possibly will meet end of this month when Andy will premiere his movie about Twisted Sister in Cologne and hopefully the same week I will meet with Brian Turner ... WFMU week so to say.

11:08am t_J:

could it be that the more pets less listeners policy is expanding

11:08am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Why does this remind me of that scene in Purple Rain where Prince plays a sample of a woman crying backward for Appolonia?

🚽

11:08am Guido from Cologne:

If it is worth a note:
Klaus Beyer is notorious for re-interpreting all (?) Beatles albums to his very own German versions.

11:12am f░f░ (:

Fantastic news, Guido! Please, say Hi to him from me, a complete random WFMU listener.

11:13am pocket vito:

Is it now more legal in Seattle than Vancouver?

11:13am marc:

Ken, why isn't Dave Emory on the new schedule? I like a weekly dose of truth.

11:13am efd:

As long as it's not Evan "Funk" Pushing-Up-Daisies I'll take it.

11:14am Listening Out There:

Changing the subject...Rosetta! http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

11:14am pocket vito:

For 7 sec delay you should have a Beatle naming contest. Andy's pretty good, but maybe some listeners can beat him.

11:14am SeanG:

Sloan Rules!

11:15am insky:

general bland comment - loving the show this morning, cheers ken!

11:16am Listening Out There:

11:20am General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter:

I'm having a naked dance and body paint Joe Frank listening party this afternoon and cordially invite
fräuleins in the greater NYC area to attend.

🚽

11:20am Ken:

Marc, thank you for bringing the new schedule into my music show. Much appreciated. I have all the time in the world here, while I am on the air. Dave's show was given a rest because I had a lot of local, original shows that wanted a shot at a weekly show and I feel obligated to occasionally give newcomers the same opportunity that was once afforded their predeccesors. Plus, Dave is available on his own website and we will continue to podcast his show event though he will not be on the new schedule. Is there anything else I can help you with?

11:21am common:

ken, let's go get some beers.

11:22am βrian:

Are you still gainfully, common?

11:22am steve:

mooooooom!

11:23am common:

for some reason, brian. probably not for long. thanks for askin!

Mum tickles my limbic system.

🚽

11:24am Vivian:

Ken, any chance of the WFMU documentary making it down to Atlanta?

11:25am βrian:

Ach. Well, as Ram Dass said, drink beer now.

11:25am Sam:

God, Jesus and Santa Claus all live at the North Pole and are all eskimos.

🚽

11:26am Ken:

Vivian, without distribution I cant say. But it will eventually be released digitally on netflix or something.

11:27am bobdoesthings:

Mum's singer should do ASMR videos..

11:30am Mugsy:

I think WFMU's track record affords them the benefit of the doubt, they've been doing great things for a loooong time. Rock on Ken.

🚽

11:32am Guido from Cologne:

It's a spaceship named Monika by the way !

11:35am βrian:

The orbiter is Rosetta, I think.

11:35am anon:

Keep looking for my friends, but I can't find any...

11:35am Michael:

The sled is Rosebud.

11:37am Sam:

Rosetta's always stoned.

🚽

11:37am Ken:

Hey is anybody here on Ello?

11:37am f░f░ (:

This has to be one of the trickiest shows Ken has done for a while.

11:38am adrian in mpls:

@ Ken - I am, but haven't used it too much yet

11:38am Lizardner Dave:

Hey Ken, how early should people come to the theater for the 5pm showing on Saturday? Are you doing SSD before or after?

11:39am marc:

I'm sorry Ken. I understand you are busy, but didn't know when to ask. Thank you for your answer. I was just curious.

🚽

11:40am Ken:

Dave not sure if Andy is coming for the off-shite carpet before the show or not... Adrian - im StationMgrKen on Ello

11:41am Cecile:

I am signing up for it. I like the cut of their jib.

🚽

11:41am Ken:

Sorry Im cranky Marc - email is best for progarm questions. Im very easy to reach from the WFMU homepage.

11:41am Lizardner Dave:

Ah, got it. Well see you there. I'll be the middle aged fat guy wearing a black shirt. I'm sure you'll pick me right out.

11:41am adrian in mpls:

Ok - cool - i opened an account after all that drag queen/real name bullshit on fb - this is a good spur to start playing around with it some more - i'll find you on there!

🚽

11:42am Ken:

Yeah - Ello supports GIFs!

11:42am Billy Jam:

ah yeah!

11:43am Cecile:

I just have to wait for the invites, so hopefully I'll see you both on there.

11:43am Cecile:

hey, billy!

11:43am Billy Jam:

hi Cecile

11:44am f░f░ (:

When Ken asked if someone here was on Ello I really thought he was refering to a drug. I'm such an ignorant when it comes to drugs names.

11:44am marc:

Okay Ken, thank you again.

11:44am Cecile:

how goes it?

11:45am adrian in mpls:

@cecile - my e-mail is on my wfmu profile page - shoot me an e-mail and i can send you an invite

11:46am Billy Jam:

sounds like four on the floor - as in shot dead on the dance floor

11:46am cory:

great show ken. thanks. i'm taking my grumpy ass off to napsville. hope today get less shitty for you

11:46am Cecile:

I just requested one off the website. Unless contacting you is faster.

11:46am SeanG:

tonetta!

11:48am Michele:

Oh Tonetta, YESSSS!!!!!

11:48am Peanut:

Who did that pump up the jam cover? That was wild.

11:49am Brendan:

Reminiscent of Zappa Broken Hearts are For .......

11:49am Jeff:

Was the FM Belfast song a celebration of Michael Alig's return to the New York club scene?

I'll just choose to think so.

11:49am chris:

Oh dear. I see Tonetta driving a suped up Chevy Camper Van, blacked out windows, of course.

11:50am Peanut:

Today starts the new WFMU schedule no?

11:50am Brendan:

Godamn
