Stockpiling Plastic Spork Packages: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:11am Ken:

Good morning all. Kenny G is not filling in for me today.

7:14am Okasa:

Good morning Ken(s). Good morning non-Kens.

7:15am adrian in mpls:

morning Ken!

7:16am cory:

hiya ken and kenkateers. Kenny G will not be filling in for me today also.

7:18am cory:

was i a dummy or did Kenny G's show not archive?

7:19am adrian in mpls:

@cory - if you look at Ken's playlist list for the year, there's a link there

7:21am cory:

ahhh, groovy. thanks adrian! i will not be dosing your coffee with LSD this morning.

7:21am adrian in mpls:

nevermind - i don't see it either...i'm an idiot

♥ 7:22am Ken:

I was advised to not archive that show. What say you all?

7:23am adrian in mpls:

more coffee!! i bailed on that show...the clitorectomy stuff was when i turned it off....which was fairly early on...

7:23am cory:

i was at work and missed it. fucking thanksgiving prep

7:29am Okasa:

In a few words, can you tell us what was so special about Kenny G's show?

7:40am cory:

clitorectomy has me interested. i would like to hear it.

♥ 8:02am Dan B From Upstate:

Oh, man. It wasn't archived? That show was a thing of beauty!

♥ 8:04am SeanG:

Definitely archive that show. It was radio anal magic.

8:18am Jack:

Never mind the archive, bring back Kenny G. That show was wonderful; reminded me of how much fun WFMU used to be.

♥ 8:26am Ken:

Can't 'bring back' something I never took away, Jack. Kenny took himself off the schedule and he's too busy to commit to a weekly show these days. I will put that archive back up later this week. I needed a clitorectomy cooling-off period.

♥ 8:32am Asheville Jon:

is today the annual Krampus show?

♥ 8:33am Ken:

No sorry Jon... Krampus has jumped the shark once and for all. Any requests for backwards prog rock or anything else?

♥ 8:33am Ken:

Next week Im doing video show number 3!

♥ 8:34am Asheville Jon:

how about some Grobschnitt then?

♥ 8:35am Asheville Jon:

looking forward to the video show!

8:40am ෝෝ (:

Morning, Ken, people!

By pure coincidence last Wednesday I contracted an ear infection that, unfortunately, prevented me to listen to Kenny G's show. But then the problem went away as soon as the show ended. What a bummer.

♥ 8:50am Marcel M:

Hi ken and people. Morning.

♥ 8:52am Asheville Jon:

morning

9:08am ෝෝ (:

I know US supermarkets are known for happily selling weapons. But armored vehicles? Or is that the new GI JOE line for this Xmas season?

♥ 9:08am Marcel M:

Saw the Notekillers play a few times. Great live.

♥ 9:09am d¢ pät:

yay, Notekillers

♥ 9:11am Yvang:

♥ 9:13am ken:

Morning everybody! Video requests for next week and musical requests for this week, por favor.

♥ 9:14am Andrew Waterloo:

They give the armored vehicles away with every new TV purchase over 70"

♥ 9:14am Andrew Waterloo:

Man Made Hill "Constant Touching"

♥ 9:15am d¢ pät:

anything with only one note is fine with me.

9:15am the Canterbury wood-elf:

Durutti Column pleez, Ken! Or some Meat Puppets. Or múm.

♥ 9:15am Dan B From Upstate:

If there's a Wal-Mart in Ferguson, I would guess that is it, Fofo. I'm sure the Walton family has their own private military to protect their assets in the case of riots. That's the jokey part. The true part is that after 9/11, the Waltons had a gigantic fallout-proof bunker built for themselves. They're approaching Howard Hughes levels of paranoid.

♥ 9:20am egal:

The Humvee was once a luxury vehicle.

9:21am Mugsy:

Never had a chance to say hi Ken, big fan of your show. Thanks for making my mornings entertaining and interesting. Keep on rockin'

9:22am Brendan:

RIA reporting means its tim to pay Khlam

♥ 9:23am Marcel M:

I wonder how much the label gets each play? And the artist? Very little I'm assuming?

9:23am Brendan:

Well not Tim but time . Thanks for nothing Siri

♥ 9:24am Dan B From Upstate:

Out of curiosity, how many complaint emails did you get, Ken?

♥ 9:24am MD:

Hell.......O!!!

♥ 9:26am Ken:

Hi Mugsy! Thanks for checking in. Marcel, they actually get larger checks than those issued by ASCAP, BMI or Sesac, or so I am told by artists who have received RIAA/Soundexchange checks.

♥ 9:26am MD:

sorry...holidaze....you all understand...XOXO!

♥ 9:27am Yvang:

Video suggestion : www.youtube.com...

♥ 9:28am Marcel M:

@Ken: Ah I see, interesting! I bet a lot of the people being played on WFMU will be confused by these checks if they ever reach them.

9:28am ෝෝ (:

Requests?

Notekillers - The Zipper
Chirs Imler - I used to too
and for a change...Itchy-O's Burn.
Khlam - something from the industrial album

Non-requests:
- Anything played by a band that has a saxophone player wearing a hat.

Thanks.

♥ 9:28am d¢ pät:

KHLAM!!!

♥ 9:29am Ken:

Oh man, I dont believe it but I dont know the label for this Khlam record - can somebody look it up and help out a Russian Jazz Punk band?

9:29am Brendan:

Oh yea yea

♥ 9:29am bobdoesthings:

ahhh just made it for khlam!!

9:30am Laura L:

Another vote for yes archive Kenny G, please--I had to miss the anal magic while on a Tryptophan holiday trip to visit family in Texas, boo hoo!

♥ 9:30am Yvang:

song request "Cigrik " or anything by Mogollar ...or Erkin Koray

♥ 9:32am Ken:

This is my favorite current workout jam, by the way..

♥ 9:32am pocket vito:

I really loved Kenny G's show but missed the beginning. I don't see what the fuss is about, there's always borderline offensive stuff on this station, that's kind of the point of being free and independent. I've been offended too, but I keep coming back. Kenny G is an over-the-top character who wants to mess with his audience, which is why it's so hilarious, so why take his rants seriously? Like it matters in the real world what Kenny G has to say about anything.

9:32am sphere:

hi there. also, Khlam is still awesome!

♥ 9:34am Ken:

Im with ya, pocket pool man. Just waiting for the mandatory 13 day clitrectomy cooling off period to run its course.

9:34am Parq:

Just dropping in to say that the pic at the top of the playlist says it all.

♥ 9:35am Ken:

Still need the record label for this Khlam record.. plus the lAbel for the next song I'm about to play.. blasted MP3s and their lack of tags...

♥ 9:35am Ken:

Agree, Parq. That pic really defines America 2014.

9:35am r i s k y:

Oh man this track is tooooooooo good!

♥ 9:35am Marcel M:

@Ken: You guys are obligated to send out the info? That is rather annoying... I remember you mentioning it in the documentary.

♥ 9:36am d¢ pät:

I know: more tunes with fake rooster crowing!!

♥ 9:36am Marcel M:

This had got to be a new favorite Khlam song.

♥ 9:36am Marcel M:

has*

9:37am jan:

@pocket vito: follow kenny on Facebook. There are many for whom what Kenny says matters. But Ken, Kenny is a mischievous boy who should not be left at home without supervision. Or at least make sure that the guns, matches and alcohol are locked up.

♥ 9:38am Andrew Waterloo:

I would have enjoyed the Kenny G set if my mood wasn't so sour last week. Still had some fun listening to it. He certainly doesn't play his character as hard as Colbert does.

9:39am Cecile:

I am sorry that I missed Kenny G last week.

the label for Group IMage is Community
The album title is A Mouth in the Clouds

9:40am Cecile:

the album was also reissued by Fallout in 2007. I know you are busy, so I Googled for you.

9:40am Brendan:

Sounds like lou reed and janis j had a baby

9:41am ෝෝ (:

ХЛАМ - ИNDUSTRИAL DЖAZ

Отделение ВЫХОД, 2009
[garage rock, jazz rock, psychedelic rock]

9:42am Cecile:

I need this song/record pretty bad. Who is this woman?

9:43am matt:

I just felt a little embarrassed for him when he was on with Duane is all. That bit got stale fast. Rest of the show was plenty entertaining.

9:44am Cecile:

Ken, can you get Kenny G. to put up the show on archive? I am a big fan.

♥ 9:45am bbell:

Too bad that Krampus has hit the mainstream. Those shows were your Christmas gift to us. Maybe a Saturnalia themed show instead, Ken.

♥ 9:46am crateslinger:

It's fun to laugh at the police state and make fun of people who buy guns.

9:46am ෝෝ (:

The Khlam's label is the Отделение ВЫХОД part (which means Branch Output).

The complete label info is:
Лейбл Отделение Выход 2009 / 253

9:46am Okasa:

Croooow!

9:46am Cecile:

My sister does faux-Thanksgiving in February.
My husband wants to do not only that, but tape the parade and dog show for later viewing. I am behind that.

9:47am Cecile:

I will make fun of people who buy guns only if they are not bringing me venison.

♥ 9:47am d¢ pät:

indeed it is @crateslinger, indeed it is.

9:48am Cecile:

but the police state is fair game. hahahaha game.

♥ 9:48am Ken:

I will post the Kenny G archive later this week Cecile, it will be on his playlist page.

♥ 9:48am Guido from Cologne:

Hello Ken and everyone!

9:49am Brendan:

Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble

9:49am Cecile:

thank you Ken!!

♥ 9:50am Stevel:

If you played The Liminanas all day, I think I'd be OK with that.

9:52am cory:

ken, promise me that if you ever get the chance to score a video game you'll take it.

♥ 9:53am Ken:

Funny you should mention that Cory, I know a guy who I was thinking of asking to make a WFMU game for us...

9:54am Cecile:

oboy! oboy! I will beta-test the hell out of it. I am a serious iPod gamer. Just keep me posted.

9:54am cory:

for more than just phones i hope?

9:54am Cecile:

you could make it "freemium" and have the money you spend on powerups go to the station.

♥ 9:56am Ken:

OK, I will contact him today.. not sure of he also does iPhone games or just desktop Mac/PC games.

9:56am Cecile:

yeah, make it go across computer/iPhone/iPad/Android platforms.

9:56am cory:

so awesome, let me know if there is anything i can do. i have no skills.

♥ 9:57am Ken:

Anybody else know any game developers?

9:57am Cecile:

it also should be pretty user-customizable, and very fun, but ultimately even more pointless that most games.

Yeah, I can't program, but I know what I likes!

9:58am ෝෝ (:

Dan B From Upstate,

I think building family bunkers is something that comes with the territory of being a multi-billionaire. I mean, the chances of a working class revolution happening soon is quite high, at least higher than a Russian nuclear attack or a comet landing on our planet.

9:59am Cecile:

I would start with the great indie game designer Zach Gage. He is in Brooklyn, is proudly indie even though he designed the super popular Drop 7 and Ridiculous Fishing, and helps other developers out. He is thanked all over indie game credits.

9:59am ෝෝ (:

I also thought the army outside Wal*mart was there to prevent civil unrest during the BLack Friday.

9:59am Okasa:

WFMU game: Start with a base of sim listeners and build a playlist of hippy noise that alienates as many as possible. High score if no sim is listening at the end.

10:01am Cecile:

I like that Okasa.
Also, maybe have a jenga style game with piles of records.

10:01am Cecile:

Kind of like Monsters Ate My Condo, which is a great stupid one.

10:02am Cecile:

or a tetris like program guide where you have to fit the DJ slots together.

Or you could have multiple "mini games"

♥ 10:03am pocket vito:

I'd like an FMU pinball machine, that would be sweet.

♥ 10:05am Dan B From Upstate:

Game idea: Board Op Simulator. It'll go great on Steam (online game store) with other such greats as Farming Simulator, Train Simulator, Grass Simulator, Goat Simulator, and Tabletop Simulator (Every single one of those is a real video game).

10:05am ෝෝ (:

Lio and Marie from The Limiñanas are from the city of Perpignan, France.

10:05am Cecile:

Zach Gage is @helvetica on Twitter. I will do some more digging for contact info

10:06am Okasa:

WFMU game: To clear a level, you have to have all your sims turn off their radio. Level 1 is super easy, because it is all Soccer Moms and old people. But trying to get the weird burned-out shut-in dude to turn off his radio on level 8 is a real challenge.

♥ 10:06am crateslinger:

game suggestion - tacos.

Somehow, tacos.

10:06am Cecile:

Here is his Web page.
www.stfj.net

♥ 10:07am crateslinger:

hardshell

10:07am Cecile:

Dan B., I have Goat Simulator. It is hilarious.

♥ 10:09am Dan B From Upstate:

I love goat simulator. I haven't tried the online version yet.

10:10am ෝෝ (:

WFMU video game idea:

Genre: First-person shooter

Concept: A lonely hippie, aka wfmu lover, tormented by friends and society by his/her eccentric musical tastes, lost it one day and goes on shooting rampage.

10:10am Cecile:

I have it on my iPod. Of course.
I must have 80-100 games. I will try just about anything except hardcore boring medieval world building MMO games. Or the first person shooters. Unless it's Annoying Orange. That's funny.

10:11am still b/p:

A game in which you see how many times you can get the woof-moo dog and cow to...do something special to commercial radio operations and consultants.

♥ 10:12am Marcel M:

There could be a 7SD game where you go through all the pranks. The Mail Prankers, etc.

10:12am Cecile:

my favorites are tower defense, horizontal running platformers, match-3 fighting games, match 3, word puzzles and spatial puzzles.

♥ 10:12am bobdoesthings:

so far.. these are all terrible ideas.

10:13am Cecile:

the more horrible the better.

Or we could make it like one of those "classy" European games where a child, or a square or a pretzel visits a dark wonderland to learn the meaning of love or honor or some crap like that.

♥ 10:14am Ken:

Lets hear a GREAT idea! Bob, you go first.

10:14am DayLate:

First post!!

♥ 10:14am Marcel M:

Yeah Bob grace us with your brilliant ideas

♥ 10:16am bobdoesthings:

gotta keep it simple, colorful, fun.. why not a creature trying to catch falling LPs and as it levels up it gets badges/funny wfmu related.. and in the end the creature gets into a train and its a trainwreck and then you win.. play again?! yeah this game is amazing

♥ 10:16am crateslinger:

something to do with ordering in... ketchup and taco sauce all over the place... drink the melted ice from old fountain sodas to rejuvenate, but you have to get to it before it rots out the bottom of the cup

10:17am Brendan:

I have Goat Stimulator . It is makes horny goats very horny.

10:17am Jack:

How about a game where you're the station manager and you have to put together a new schedule that has 70 slots, and you have 100 DJs to pick from. The goal: make everyone happy and minimize the complaints.

♥ 10:17am d¢ pät:

the gif accompanying this Tropengold tune is the best one EVER.

10:17am Neg-guh-tor:

I'd make it a WFMU trivia game. Obscure bands, history and record stuff.

♥ 10:17am crateslinger:

stockpiles of napkins and plastic spork packages equal points... extra points for getting your roommate to answer the door when your food arrives... win the game by getting him to pay...

♥ 10:17am Dan B From Upstate:

All kidding aside, it should be a Freemium game, so that children with their parent's phone can consistently raise money buying useless in-game coins. (The funds go directly to WFMU)

10:19am Cecile:

I'm with you on the freemium.
And I made the schedule decisions into a Tetris game. People! read my posts!

So far I like the taco thing.

♥ 10:19am d¢ pät:

you're on the right track Dan B. Object of game is to build a giant robot powerful enough to destroy all other radio stations. But you have to keep upgrading, adding weapons, etc. which you can buy.

10:20am Cecile:

you could have corn fungus tacos, carrion tacos, TVP tacos, etc.

♥ 10:21am Dan B From Upstate:

Ken? Have you played the "Avant Gardener" video on one of your video shows yet? I get a kick out of it.

10:21am ෝෝ (:

No matter the concept of the WFMU video game. Just make sure the word 'Sex' is in the game's title.

♥ 10:21am MD:

YEA!!! Depressed Ausi.... Gurl!!!

♥ 10:21am Ken:

Lots of good ideas here people, keep 'em coming! I love the idea of a freemium WFMU game.

♥ 10:21am crateslinger:

in other words, a listener simulator... there's a comments level where you have to get a certain number of people to address you personally...

10:21am Cecile:

Milk! records

10:22am Cecile:

when I was looking into the label, I learned this song about being in anaphalactic shock.

♥ 10:23am crateslinger:

@ Cecile,

tacos totally. flying tacos, bacon tacos...

♥ 10:23am Ken:

Dan B, I watched that video and I hated it. Sorry.

10:23am quinn:

my dad loves this song

10:23am Cecile:

octo-tacos

♥ 10:25am Andrew Waterloo:

We need a trivia game that would allow you to play against other WFMU members

♥ 10:26am Andrew Waterloo:

or a WFMU version of Cards Against Humanity

♥ 10:26am crateslinger:

one level is tic tacos,

and you can find bino-tacos - you look through them to find game secrets...

♥ 10:26am Sem Chumbo:

Just got here. Is that a blue light on the armoured vehicle, as in "Attention, Walmart Shoppers, Blue Light Special in Parking Area F?" Hiya, Ken. Totally get where you're at w/ the Kenny G fill-in show. Cooling off period: nice turn of phrase.

♥ 10:29am bobdoesthings:

the problem with trivia is it'll feel very exclusive.. shutting people off to who aren't music trivia obsessed... and I could imagine the trivia to be so obscure and/or pretentious

10:29am still b/p:

Hey, speaking of pretzels (I won't get to say that again today), I like the clunky lighted pretzel that goes atop the big public Xmas tree in Reading, PA. That's also where this year's tree was so scraggle-ass ugly that complaints and wider attention almost got it yanked, but the hubbub has turned and now they're gonna celebrate it as a Charlie Brown tree.

10:30am Cecile:

hey, do you have Jinx Lennon's nothing but a leprechaun?

there are a few cusses in it...

10:31am Brendan:

Nice try Ken but you're not getting me Lucky Charms

10:31am Okasa:

WFMU game: At the record fair, you have to get from one end to the other as quickly as possible. Every time you make eye contact with a lonely hippy, it costs time. If you stare down, you may bump into a lonely hippy, which costs even more time.

♥ 10:32am MD:

ON YA BOYO!!!

♥ 10:33am Ken:

Another excellent criticism from BobDoesThings! Thank you Bob!

10:33am Cecile:

Saor Patrol?

10:33am johnforz:

Is anyone else unable to login to their WFMU account on Google Chrome? Some cookie message?

man, i was in ferguson over the weekend, that image is too familiar.

10:34am fleep:

DJ Avatars. I'd play the game as Hearty White, and metaphysicalize my way to the top of the leader board.

10:34am the Canterbury wood-elf:

"I'm Irish, but I'm not a leprechaun" (helpful clarification from House of Pain's Everlast)

10:34am still b/p:

In OK on Chrome.

♥ 10:34am MD:

We've a piper DOWN!!!! THERE IS A PIPER DOWN!!!
oh WAIT...HE'S ONLY PISSED!!!

10:34am Cecile:

johnforz, bless you for being there.

♥ 10:34am Andrew Waterloo:

I'm doing OK with Chrome, you may need to clear out the browser history or something like that.

10:34am Mark:

Listener:"Hey, wait, you've got bagpipes, which are Scottish, but aren't leprechauns Irish?"
Ken: "Whatevs."

♥ 10:35am bobdoesthings:

@ken.. I can't tell if sarcasm ....or.. not?

10:35am the Canterbury wood-elf:

The record label for this SP is "ARC Music", Ken (if you believe Wikipedia).

10:35am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

The boys got a big 'ead! Look at the size of tha cranium.

10:35am Maria D:

Could you play again "My Heart Will Go On" by those drunken Ruskies?

♥ 10:35am βrian:

Tiens! On fait la pipe !

Liking the DJ avatars. So many different super powers.

Protip: To cross to the other side in no time make sure you have in your hands the new Miley Cyrus "Bangerz - Picture Disc" vinyl and you will see every body will move out of your way.

♥ 10:37am Webhamster Henry:

I've been trying to come up with a suitable WFMU 1st person shooter style game for a long time. The schedule would be rendered as a 3d-dystopia, with each area triggering streams out of the archives. Lots of picture-of-the-day style graphics and Terry Gilliam-like cutout sprite animation.
Meanwhile, you'll have to make due with the Andymatic Zingatron.

10:37am Brendan:

Erin go brew. A round of Guinness for e'rone . F#% work.

♥ 10:37am Sem Chumbo:

Excellent jigs.

♥ 10:38am d¢ pät:

wow, nothing quite like Saor Patrol for diving into work. YEAH!!! SEARCH TERMS!!! CONTENT TYPES!!! ALRIGHT!!!

10:38am sinner:

...and don't forget that Krampus Day is Friday......

♥ 10:38am MD:

The Irish use Illian Pipes...

10:38am Robert:

A WFMU simulation game should primarily be about staying on the air, technically, financially, & legally. I don't know that there's a suitable way to simulate those. Any of those factors could be analogized to target shooting, object dodging, etc., but it wouldn't carry the flavor.

10:38am Cecile:

great Kat, hahahah!

♥ 10:39am Dan B From Upstate:

If it's a WFMU game, maybe it should be about planning and executing a successful fundraising marathon. The problem is integrating the freemium into that idea. Maybe you convince your players to pay for rewards to enable faster fund-raising? Kind of like paying to immediately build buildings in simpsons tapped out...

♥ 10:39am Sem Chumbo:

Those pipes were for sure illin' @MD.

10:39am Okasa:

ෝෝ - That's a premium item that you can only get by making a pledge.

♥ 10:39am groucho:

I'm very late. sorry

10:39am the Canterbury wood-elf:

i dunno where the bagpipes = Scottish thing comes from. Just about every little region of Europe has/had a piping tradition, all the way east to at least Turkey.

♥ 10:40am MichelleinGreenBay:

Mornin', Friends of Ken!

10:40am Brendan:

Nice try Ken but you're not getting my fiddle made of gold.

10:40am sphere:

OMG the Great Kat! last time i saw an album of hers was in college.

♥ 10:40am Sem Chumbo:

Egypt has a version of the agony bags as well, I think.

♥ 10:41am groucho:

Anyone else buy a black woof moo hoodie this week? I cant wait to see what it looks like on. is there a wfmu design on the back too or just on the front? (it didn't show the back in the pic)

10:42am Robert:

I suppose you could game the dump button, the game feeding a continuous audio recording with curses and words that sound like curses but aren't.

10:42am ෝෝ (:

hahha...that's a good idea, Robert!

10:43am Cecile:

It's just a tasteful logo on the front, which actually gets a lot of attention from people.

10:44am oks:

love Watteau gif! :)

♥ 10:44am groucho:

my request for next week's video show www.youtube.com...

10:44am Cecile:

yeah! A rhythm game with cussing - hit the dump button!

I really enjoy Thanksgiving.

10:44am Achoo:

The talking egg is back!

♥ 10:45am groucho:

woo Sleaford Mods! this is where I found out about them, and I live near them in England!

10:45am Okasa:

@Robert - Dump Button is the best WFMU game idea so far.

10:46am matt:

Manning the dump button for Sleaford Mods would be quite a challenge.

♥ 10:46am βrian:

My first of many favorite Thanksgivings involved a two-foot mound of freshly made egg-rolls. (That was one whole lotta chopping, but *so* good.)

10:47am Robert:

As the player gets better, the delay gets shorter.

10:47am Cecile:

I agree Okasa.

♥ 10:47am d¢ pät:

@matt: about to utter the same ting

10:48am oks:

hahaha is it depeche mode?

♥ 10:49am Marcel M:

Ohh I agree too! Trying to dump curses! Would be a fun game.

♥ 10:49am groucho:

thanks Cecile. I doubt it'll get me any attention, I've been wearing the white woof moo t shirt for a year now and no-one's said anything about it. Not having heard of wfmu I imagine they just think I'm a hipster who likes text speak (or txt spk, obv.)

♥ 10:49am Marcel M:

Hi OKS!

♥ 10:50am d¢ pät:

I get comments on FMU shirts all the time but I live in DC where ALL WFMU listeners live.

10:50am Cecile:

There is something about that hoodie though. People are kind of intrigued by it.

♥ 10:50am groucho:

cool

10:51am oks:

Marcel!! saturday!

10:51am Okasa:

No, Dump Button would be like Rock Band. The player gets a free starter pack of obscenity laden songs and DJ banter, but they have to pay for new content.

10:53am still b/p:

Would cusses from Bono suddenly appear in everyone's device for free?

10:53am Cecile:

or maybe just Minnesota people are, there's that.

10:54am steve:

Dion MacGregor. Sleaford Mods. Fabio movie nite. Andy Breckman in a wig. i'm overwhelmed.

10:54am Mugsy:

Cecile, missed you lately, hope all is well.

10:54am ෝෝ (:

I am proud to say I was the first person to publicly recognize Robert's Dump Dump Button game idea. I still remember the moment when I first heard about it. It still feels like it happened yesterday.

10:55am Cecile:

10:56am Mugsy:

Good answer!

10:56am Okasa:

10:56am MenfussMike:

10:57am pierre:

KEN !

10:57am Cecile:

I ate two Thanksgiving dinners. I felt it the next day, but it was fun at the time.

♥ 10:57am Ken:

Hola Pierre!

♥ 11:00am βrian:

I read that as "two Thanksgiving diners."

11:01am Cecile:

brian, it felt like that.

11:01am RCinMT:

I feel dirty just listening to this.

11:02am pierre:

I love you Ken, you and what you do for the radio.
I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Brian over here in Paris,
and I realize that I don't say that enough, I love WFMU.
Just reading (again) the LCD book, you guys are family, religion, friends.

Merci

♥ 11:03am Ken:

aww, thanks Pierre! Im glad you got to meet Brian last week.

11:04am ෝෝ (:

And we all love Monsieur pierre.

♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry:

I think WFMU could have an "international week" like Singles Going Steady, since most shows do have an international component.

11:06am Okasa:

The details may be wrong, but the story goes that Hitch's dad had a policeman "arrest" a very young Hitchcock for some small thing (breaking a plate or something) and put him in jail for a short time. He had a lifelong fear of the police since that event.

♥ 11:06am Yvang:

cqfd

♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry:

And of course, a Khlam week, similar to the obsessive jazz tributes over on WKCR.

♥ 11:06am d¢ pät:

I wish Krampus hadn't jumped the goddam shark...wait, didn't jumping the shark jump the shark?

11:06am still b/p:

I had four dessert items at Thanksgiving. The next day I heard a doc on the radio talking to Alec Baldwin about the science of leptin, insulin, and the scourge of sugar. The next day I had four dessert items at a party. Now I can't face Alec.

♥ 11:07am Yvang:

11:11am Brendan:

11:12am pierre:

I ought to start singing the supertramp song with this

11:12am pierre:

(too bad for my coworkers)

♥ 11:12am Ken:

Which 70s hit is this sampling?!

11:12am ෝෝ (:

hahah..I actually thought Ken was about to play the Supertramp song backwards.

♥ 11:13am Ken:

Thats right... it was Supertramp, but which song?

11:13am pierre:

Goodbye Stranger

11:13am quinn:

early morning yesterday... i was up before the dawn...

♥ 11:14am Dan B From Upstate:

It's been nice.

11:14am Cecile:

Goodbye Stranger

♥ 11:14am d¢ pät:

DON'T ANSWER! IT'S A TRICK!!!

♥ 11:14am d¢ pät:

too late...

♥ 11:15am Webhamster Henry:

Is Donna Summer/Jason Forrest coming to a stream soon?

♥ 11:16am d¢ pät:

I thought the answer was 52 Girls.

♥ 11:16am jjz:

I always liked his show. It was always interesting.

11:16am Cecile:

he's also sampling from U2's "I Will Follow" as well, isn't he?

♥ 11:17am d¢ pät:

@Cecile: I heard that too.

11:17am ෝෝ (:

That Donna Summer mix was greater than life!

♥ 11:19am βrian:

You'll need an endoscope to find that comfort.

♥ 11:19am Rich in Washington:

sounds like CD rot.

11:21am Brendan:

Sounds like it was some kind of ... baby...animal

11:23am pierre:

@Ken : I find this gif of Commandant Cousteau petting a crab going very well with that music : 38.media.tumblr.com...

11:23am still b/p:

The beginning of the Phigg-Newtons track put me in mind of Lonnie Holley, and I learned Holley did something with Mammane Sani Abdullaye of Niger called On My Way to Christmas...if you need something 8 minutes long some coming Wednesday in this season of joy.

♥ 11:25am Carmichael:

Can U2 somehow contract ebola? It's a wish, not a question.

11:27am the Canterbury wood-elf:

The label for this DJ Yoda et al. is "Nonclassical Recordings", Ken. May their cheque be a big fat one.

♥ 11:28am Yvang:

my last video request/suggestion : www.youtube.com...

♥ 11:30am groucho:

I'm looking forward to tonight! we finally discover Sleaford Mods are just Ken and Andy characters. Andy just standing there in the background dancing to his laptop while Ken does an accent.

♥ 11:31am groucho:

(and acts hard)

11:31am Okasa:

Believe nothing? Hah! I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything.

11:32am ෝෝ (:

Video requests for next week:
- Sudden Infant
- Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce (interpreted by the Cookie Monster)

Don't worry, people. This is just a publicity stunt to promote the new Dump Buttom WFMU video game.

11:36am the Canterbury wood-elf:

The Seventies Mutation album is on the "CONSTRUCTO Tower" label.

11:36am Cecile:

the John Paul Jones of the RHCP

11:37am Brendan:

Ken we've traced the source of the glitching and its coming from inside the studio. Get out of there now.

11:37am Cecile:

He's great. I can't reconcile it with his day job.

11:37am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

John Frusciante - the Shemp of the 3 Stooges.

11:37am Robert:

It does literally mean "dirty".

♥ 11:37am Rich in Washington:

does that make Hillell Slovek the Gummo Marx of RHCP?

♥ 11:38am luca:

schmutzig = smutty

11:38am mark:

11:42am ෝෝ (:

Attention all SSD 12 fans:

do you know where are all the archives of all the most recent shows from the Monty Hall? Can't find them. And what about the Shut up Weirdo-SSD Mashup one? Can't find it either.

♥ 11:43am Andrea:

Hello. I am favoriting ALL the animations. Thank you.

♥ 11:43am Carmichael:

Now THAT'S the kind of dance I want to do! Tight pants, torreador jacket, expressionist moves.

♥ 11:44am Carmichael:

That Foetus kid looks like a young Jimmy Cagney.

♥ 11:45am d¢ pät:

he looks more like the little guy in Freaks.

♥ 11:46am Carmichael:

Sorry ladies, he's married.

♥ 11:46am Sem Chumbo:

Looks like the one Munchkin who got royalty checks.

♥ 11:46am Ken:

This song reminds me of an older Raymond Scott tune - which one is it??

11:46am ෝෝ (:

Andrea,

YOu should also come in here before the show. Ken posts AMAZING big Gifs that get deleted once the show starts.Today's ones were absolutely terrific.

11:48am pierre:

Toy Trumpet Ken ?

♥ 11:50am bobdoesthings:

@ken - can your next dj premium be Ken's Workout Mix?!

♥ 11:51am βrian:

T'is the time of day when one's thoughts turn to pad thai.

11:51am David T. Superstar:

My favorite Raymond Scott Tune! Thanks Ken!

♥ 11:52am d¢ pät:

I got pinto gallo for lunch.

11:52am Brendan:

Ahhh the 20 lb Underwood typewriter with the levers that got stuck together.

11:52am ෝෝ (:

The "Foetus kid", was a German guy that lived 83 years, and always stayed in that little size. He is one of the leading characters of ultra amazing Tod Brownin's movie Freaks from 1932.

♥ 11:52am Andrea:

ෝෝ (:,

Whaaaa? Is Ken making them or whaaaaaaaaa??? Um, yeah.

♥ 11:52am Ken:

Bobdoesthings - I will do that one better.... I hope to do an actual workout show after the holidays, with video.

♥ 11:53am bobdoesthings:

@ken - EXCELLENT!

♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo:

Will there be Ken Work Out merch?

11:54am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Ken - be sure to have animated poodles in your background, working out with you.
www.youtube.com...

11:54am Okasa:

Ken - The Dump Button game should take priority over Ken's DJ Work Out Video.

11:54am the Canterbury wood-elf:

Looks like the label for this Raymond Scott is Basta, Ken. Another fat cheque in the post...

11:55am the Canterbury wood-elf:

Lester Bangs once played his typewriter (amplified?) onstage with the J. Geils Band, he claimed.

♥ 11:55am βrian:

@d¢ pät : A pint of Gallo? (Everybody's got a thing.)

♥ 11:55am paul b:

Ken,
When you see Jeff Krulik tomorrow tell him I said hello. He was one of the first people I got to know at the Univ of Maryland -- he was PD of WMUC fm his last year there. Jeff Is one of the best people in the world.

11:55am Brendan:

Cue the animal

♥ 11:55am Carmichael:

Ken, that Raymond Scott album came out on Columbia.

♥ 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park:

Missed most of the show today, but I trust it was a good one.

11:56am ෝෝ (:

White Collar Slavery by The Boston Typewriter Orchestra, released 22 March 2008 .

♥ 11:58am bobdoesthings:

thanks ken! great show!

11:58am the Canterbury wood-elf:

No label as such for BTO (no, not THEM!), seems to just be Bandcamp-type thing.

11:58am oks:

thanks Ken!!

11:59am Brendan:

Thank you all

11:59am ෝෝ (:

Thank you very mucho, Master Ken. It was a great Wednesday evening the one you delivered. See you all, till next episode!!! And if you play that melody again, Baby Animal, I'll have to kill you!! Do you understand?!!

2:42pm moss:

(listening later and too late likely with my comment)
the WFMU game has to be Ken riding his bike to the station in/after the storm! and also trying to save his stuff from the flooded basement.
