New Years Eve Morning: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 12/17 9:44am Ken:

Hi everybody. Get back to this week's playlist.

♥ 12/17 9:50am bobdoesthings:

wahhhhhhhh?!?!

♥ 12/17 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park:

I am here!

♥ 12/17 9:50am Michael:

Happy New Year!

♥ 12/17 9:50am Marcel M:

Oh man... my mind is exploding.

♥ 12/17 9:50am Dan B From Upstate:

Good morning! See you in two weeks!

♥ 12/17 9:50am Marcel M:

Now I'll have to keep checking both

12/17 9:51am Nick from Indy:

finally, Back To The Future

12/17 9:52am fleep:

Let's do the time warp again.

♥ 12/17 9:53am Future Ken:

You're all early! It's happening over here: www.wfmu.org...

12/17 9:53am P-90:

I am everywhere. And nowhere.

♥ 12/17 9:59am groucho:

I found a past playlist with no comments! wfmu.org... This is probably what it feels like to be Marty McFly

♥ 12/17 10:37am bobdoesthings:

does the timestamp for comments also remember the date? or will our comments be interspersed with comments in the future... so many questions..

♥ 12/17 10:40am Ken:

An excellent question, Bobdoesthings. I will have to go back into the past to find an answer.

12/17 10:50am teflon:

@bob: pretty sure there's just a global counter for all comments across the site. While you're on an active comments board your browser asks the site for the newest version of the list of comments and includes with that request the show id and a number that increments every time a new comment shows up on that board.

12/17 10:52am teflon:

except it doesn't really increment, it seems to jump to "the newest comment ID site-wide" and the server then filters by show id.

♥ 12/17 11:02am bobdoesthings:

@teflon - Sure.

12/17 11:52am P-90:

Still no way to know if I survived long enough to read this post.

♥ 12/17 12:04pm Ken:

Nice sourcing, Bob!

♥ 12/17 12:07pm groucho:

Alot of the braincells I have now will have been killed by the time this show ends.

♥ 12/17 12:08pm Ken:

And it's your fault Groucho, this never-ending playlist thing was YOUR idea.

12/17 12:13pm P-90:

Happy New Year, everybody!
@Vicki: Brilliant show last week! Still can't get over how you handled that Toilet Bunny situation that almost got out of hand...

12/17 12:39pm ∯ (:

Hello!

I arrived early to help groucho prepare the most epic playlist comment Xmas-New Years Eve party ever!

I brought with me an after party kit which includes the following party weaponry and equipment:

- 3 Pinatas
- 1 kg of Confetti
- 1 cupcake stand
- 50 balloons (unfortunately they don't come inflated)
- 10 cake candles
- 20 party hats / paper water cones
- 16 decorated napkins
- 20 blowouts
- 1 vuvuzela

groucho, this is going to be a hell of a party! If things go out of control, close the comment gates and don't let the police get in!

♥ 12/17 12:56pm Future Ken:

Thanks for all the goodies f0f0! And thanks for filling in last week Vicki.

♥ 12/17 1:01pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hey Future Ken, How did 7SD turn out on the 17th? Should I make plans to hear it live?

♥ 12/17 6:20pm groucho:

Right, here's the plan:

The baloons need inflating, we make a air-inflatery thing out of the flame from the candles and the air from inside the pinatas, get some science guys in to make that work, then connect that to the end of the vuvuzela, with it's mouthpiece inside the balloons.

That solves the problem of the un-inflated balloons.

Then we can just play a recording of some people choking, mix that in with some cambodian synth metal and boom, Happy fuckin new years!

♥ 12/18 7:44am Ken:

Excellent idea Groucho. I will bring the candles. Who will remember to bring the matches?

♥ 12/19 3:49pm groucho:

It appears we've encountered a quandary!

On a less tense note: My 3D glasses have finally arrived. 4 pairs! I intend to wear each pair out as quickly as possible

12/21 10:23pm cory:

for your next video show www.youtube.com...

♥ 12/22 9:12am Ken:

Thanks Cory! That's a good one.

12/24 9:13am F❷F❸ (:

Good morning, Vicky, Ken, people!!!

♥ 12/24 9:14am Ken:

Wromg playlist f0f0! We are all over here: www.wfmu.org...

12/24 10:55am F❷F❸ (:

Thanks, Ken! See you later today (Dec 31st). For now, I shall return to the past (Dec 24th).

♥ 12/25 10:43pm groucho:

Jesus' birthday had interfered with my bin day. My bin was meant to be emptied today. Now i have to wait til the 29th.

Merry Christmas.

Love,

Groucho

♥ 12/29 1:29pm groucho:

UK based Resonance FM are doing 24 hours of Yesterday covers.
resonancefm.com
Missed a trick there!

♥ 12/29 6:48pm Ken:

Sorry I missed it but I was busy working on this:

blogfiles.wfmu.org...

♥ 6:06am Ken From Hyde Park:

New Year's Eve has arrived. Am I on the right playlist?

♥ 6:07am Ken:

You are! Welcome.

♥ 6:22am Ken From Hyde Park:

Outstanding! Happy New Year to one and all. FYI, 2014 has been 2 x 19 x 53 and 2015 is 5 x 13 x 31. Source: www.mathwarehouse.com...

6:56am Jack:

I'm so confused.

♥ 6:58am Ken:

No need to be confused Jack, Be Here Now. Pay no attention to Ken from Hype Park's demon numerology.

7:12am Jack:

I'm not sure when I am. What year is it? Is Romney still the President?

7:35am cory:

Having a playlist open this long isn't going to cause some sort of time loop, is it?

7:50am cory:

on an unrelated note, the Fun-limiter and I watched 'A Town Called Panic' last night. very cool and fun movie. if you have Hulu it on there.

♥ 7:53am Ken:

What is it, Cory?

8:02am cory:

it's a stop-motion film about Horse, Indian, and Cowboy. part adventure, part love story. A small village, including love interest Ms. Longray, celebrate Horse's birthday. Indian and Cowboy order way too many bricks to build a barbeque. this movie is much better than my shitty critique.

8:02am cory:

oh yeah, and subtitles. sorry this is a movie you have to read.

8:04am cory:

here's the trailer www.youtube.com...

♥ 8:05am Ken:

I can relate. I made that same mistake once when building a barbecue.

♥ 8:08am Dan B From Upstate:

Good morning. Ken! I'm surprised you haven't started next week's playlist yet!

8:10am cory:

Ken, you and the family should check it out while the kids are home.

♥ 8:15am Ken:

I'm afraid that unless there is hot Horse on Cowboy action, my children would not be interested. Comma Zero.

8:17am cory:

oh, there is horse dancing in a darkened room with no space for the holy ghost. no shown interspecies "relations", but there's always fanfic!

8:52am F⌚F⌚ (:

Hello, Ken and other friends!!

Can't wait to open my Xmas presents tomorrow the 25th of December.

8:54am FART:

Anybody drunk yet?

9:03am SeanG:

2015 the year of the foot

♥ 9:09am Dan B From Upstate:

It's funny. The show starts, and now no one wants to comment.

9:09am cory:

holy shit, today's the 31st

♥ 9:12am Ken:

Yes Dan B, everybody is already too shitfaced. The reports Im getting from 2015 via New Zealand, Guam and Australia are concerning.

♥ 9:13am Ken From Hyde Park:

2015 - The year of twelve people left on Earth. There are some women among us, I hope.

9:13am joerg:

just FYI: CAN featured in Inherent Vice; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a1NhRbNJ_Y

♥ 9:15am AnAnonymousParty:

Happy pre-New Year, y'all.

♥ 9:15am Dan B From Upstate:

Wow. 2015 is already THAT bad of a year...

♥ 9:15am Ken:

Cool Joerg! Paul Thomas Anderson is a big FMU fan.

♥ 9:16am redkayak:

Happy NYE everyone!

♥ 9:17am Ken:

Happy New Year to you too RedKayak!

9:17am f↻f↻ (:

Hola, Ken and good people!

Nice to be here to enjoy THE last radio show of the year!!

♥ 9:20am Marcel M:

Morning Ken and all happy New Year! I was snoozing and snoozin' forgettin' it was Wednesday!

9:20am f↻f↻ (:

Did I say 'THE last radio show of the year!!'?!

Hahaha...

I meant to say

THE last GOOD radio show of the year!! (*)

* unless today there's a SSD show.

♥ 9:21am Michael:

Happy New Years Eve morning Ken and all listeners. Lovely morning here. Cold but lovely.

♥ 9:30am Sem Chumbo:

Good morning, Ken, Show girls and Show boys.

♥ 9:31am Roberto:

This reminds me. I repaired a young marble shower shelf this week.

♥ 9:37am Roberto:

That 6-hour disco dance party sounds promising.

9:38am cory:

what is a "clock"?

9:38am Robert:

Oooo you can do time deprivation for an extended, unknown period this time!

9:45am Cecile:

KEN

♥ 9:46am Ken:

Hi Cecile!

9:46am Cecile:

how goes it?

9:47am Cecile:

and do you have some Chico Science floating around there?

♥ 9:48am Ken:

I DO have some Chico Science - what's your pleasure?

9:48am Cecile:

Hum. I'll let you decide. Either that or Marcatu Atomico.

9:49am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Flaming Carrot, Triplets of Belleville/Django, Bettie Page.
These are a few of my favorite things.

9:51am Cecile:

yodel-lay-hee-yodel-lay-hee-yodel-lay-hee-hoo!

Jennique, I went to a Sound of Music singalong showing this past weekend.

9:52am Cecile:

people went as brown paper packages tied up with string.

9:53am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Cecile: I've always had this fantasy of putting the whole soundtrack of the Sound of Music to a Ramones/punk rhythym. The song, I Am Sixteen, Going on Seventeen would work nicely, as well as, Climb Every Mountain, Forge Every Stream.

9:55am Cecile:

Yes!
I actually fried my vocal chords singing Climb Every Mountain at the top of my lungs. That one IS the show-stopper. But those last two notes kill you.

9:55am Cecile:

THANK YOU

9:56am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Ouch! Sounds like fun though. I'd definitely want to be dressed in a nun's habit for that.

9:57am Cecile:

they had a nun-only section of the costume competition. My favorite was the one in the down vest and skinny jeans.

9:57am Cecile:

Yeah we waved around plastic flowers for Edelweiss and stuff.

It was fun, but I could only do it once. That is one long-ass movie.

♥ 9:58am Ken:

Can I play a Food Nazi in your Punk Rock production of Sound of Music?

9:58am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Ha! Maybe I could just wear a napkin or toilet paper like that lady did in the airplane bathroom.
www.boredpanda.com...

10:00am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Absolutely Ken.

10:00am Cecile:

That sounds like something that would be awesome in Monty Hall. Except more like a revue.

♥ 10:01am Ken:

Cool. I will be super intolerant.

10:01am Cecile:

I want to be the snarky closeted promoter.

10:02am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

I'd be a rebellious, insolent, punk, Liesl Von Trapp.

♥ 10:03am Ken:

That part is already cast Cecile. Would you be interested in the role of Jimmy Saville?

10:03am Cecile:

hells, no. I'll take Gretel or the nun with glasses.

10:04am Chris M.:

i'll sing Edelweiss

10:04am Cecile:

Wait. I have to be Mother Superior so I can butcher Climb Every Mountain

♥ 10:07am common:

KEN! yoos!

10:07am adrian in mpls:

mrrrrrning

10:07am Kathy:

I am 16...
going on 17...
we used to perform that in the gazebo for YEARS.......

10:08am CeeDubbles:

"Drones?" you mean Volunteers?

♥ 10:08am Dan B From Upstate:

I... uh, kinda wanna buy a drone.

10:08am Robert:

Hey, I remember a GREAT episode of 7SD on NYE wherein you conversed with people around the world in different time zones about the incoming, uh, 1997 IIRC.

10:09am Cecile:

there was a row of women behind us who screamed "NO YOU DON'T" when Liesl sings about needing someone older and wiser.

♥ 10:09am Stanley:

Check it out. I'm alone at the office and illicitly listening. Yeah, in yer face boss-man!

10:10am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Cecile - THAT IS GREAT.
Here's a "Where are they now?" article on the Sound of Music cast. www.huffingtonpost.com...

10:10am nadnerbnella:

Bring back The 'Dirty Duck'!!! please.

♥ 10:10am AnAnonymousParty:

I hear kids are doing wild things like staying up past midnight!

10:11am Sam:

How could it NOT get worse? Between global warming and the gradual takeover of everything by computers and drones, our best days are behind us.

♥ 10:12am Andrew Waterloo:

Maybe this is the year we'll all be forced to listen to the new U2 album.

♥ 10:12am redkayak:

That Liesl was really something!
Rowwwwwrrrr!

10:13am doca:

Hi, all! Happy New Year

@Cecile: I've just read Dan Charnas' book. Thanks! It's GREAT

10:14am f↻f↻ (:

Ken,

I don't think you have ever played the most awesome -and tragic- brazilian band ever, Mamonas Assasinas (after Os Mutantes of course).

They even have a Ken-friendly song called 'Vira Vira'. This is perhaps the only band in the history of humanity that I am aware of that -literaly- disintegrated into thin air.

10:15am Cecile:

oh, I'm glad, doca! You should also look up his interviews at FMU. He writes like he talks, very enthusiastic!

Yeah, I got a few zingers in there myself.
When the captain goes back into the house after chewing out Maria for letting the kids play music, I yelled, "YOU'RE WELCOME!" at the top of my lungs, and the whole theater cracked up.

♥ 10:16am Sem Chumbo:

@Stanley: it was just that kind of uppity talk that resulted in The Clearances.

10:19am doca:

@Cecile: Gonna check it out. But it's a wonderful book. It has wits, it is funny, it is challenging and it makes a great case for hip hop and against cultural purism. It got me very hooked into the thing.

10:19am doca:

@f↻f↻: Yes, Mamonas Assassinas would be a great addition to any WFMU playlist eheh

10:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Cecile, sounds like you gave The Sound of Music the same treatment as Rocky Horror. I'm all for it. Have you seen this interpretation of Aliens the movie done in an Ice Capades style? It's called "Aliens on Ice". Brilliant in my opinion.
www.youtube.com...

10:22am Cecile:

Jennique, it was more fun because it was cleaner, and the replies were less codified. I have also seen Breaking Bad on ice.

I can't wait to see Aliens on ice.

10:22am doca:

Hahah how I loved these guys when I was a kid.

10:23am f↻f↻ (:

Mamonas Assasinas!! My little angels RIP! Thanks, Ken!

10:24am cory:

thanks for introducing me to them f↻f↻ (:

10:25am FART:

6 hours of disco sounds legit

10:32am Gleb:

thereminvox! messer chups!

10:33am f↻f↻ (:

No problem, cory. They really were a shooting star.

10:34am doca:

They were a great metal band before turning into novelty songs

10:36am f↻f↻ (:

doca,

They even used to play Rush covers! They became the most popular band in Brazil once they stop playing them.

10:36am f↻f↻ (:

OGRE YOU _____________________________ !!!!!!

♥ 10:38am Stanley:

@Sem - Hi man. Gotta be careful, he might be monitoring my computer as we speak and that'll be me cleared out. Hope you tamed that haggis you were wrestling with yesterday. Have a great NYE.

♥ 10:38am dale:

good morning and happy new year fellow miscreants. i hope ken has 'time in a bottle' queued up!

♥ 10:38am common:

thanks for the don't deliver us from evil image, ken!

♥ 10:43am Ken:

Youre welcome common. Which image is you talking about?

♥ 10:44am Sem Chumbo:

@Stanley: yes, the haggis is on a leash, whimpering and awaiting its fate. And I hope you, too, have a fine evening and celebration up there, where the weather is always wonderful:-)

♥ 10:44am common:

the girls on fire dancing, ken. great flick, but disturbing.

10:47am f↻f↻ (:

Great flicks and disturbing! Those are my favourite type of films actually!

♥ 10:49am common:

check that one out, ff

♥ 10:55am Ken From Hyde Park:

Last day to pledge to WFMU and get a 2014 tax break and earn a heart, too!

♥ 10:56am Webhamster Henry:

This is the year of the di-di di di-di... 1993

♥ 10:59am dale:

this song makes me want to join the brownshirts and goose step to the nearest tavern for the motherland!

11:01am f↻f↻ (:

Thanks, common! I was reading the movie info:

"Two young French schoolgirls, bored and left too much by themselves..." (Oh la la!!)

"..decide to dedicate themselves to doing evil after reading works by French revolutionaries and anti-social types..." ( Yes, that's the spirit I get after reading Baudeliere and Jean-Jacques Rosseau !)

"...The leader of the two instigates a number of small crimes such as torturing a cat...(I think Ken would like to see this film too!)

..."and tormenting the school groundskeeper by killing birds. " ( Where I can download the film for free?)

11:03am fleep:

Whistle while I lurk.

11:04am marvin:

This playlist is just evil. I love it.

11:07am GMMMark:

Shoot! forgot it is Wednesday and off for winter break. just tuned in. Ken show live. nothing like it.

♥ 11:07am Yvang:

@fofo www.youtube.com... (only italian & spanish subtitles)

11:08am Little Fyodor:

I don't know about that recording, but I've seen Itchy-O play with plenty of "real" (i.e. non-electronic) drums. (my own band's drummer is a member!)

♥ 11:09am Ken:

Good to know Little Fyodor - thanks!

11:10am f↻f↻ (:

Thank you, Yvang!

♥ 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park:

Financial plan for 2015: Use rubles to invest in bitcoins or use bitcoins to invest in rubles. I forget which one, though.

Don't worry good people of Ukraine! Papa bear is coming to protect you really soon!

11:14am FART:

I'm kinda charged up for the call in show tonight. No theme?

11:14am P-90:

@ common: That one's pretty good, but Erice's 1973 "Spirit of the Beehive" is a Classic with a capital "C", check it out if you haven't caught it yet.

♥ 11:16am Ken:

No theme, just open phones.

11:17am Gleb:

Also is very good "Цукор біла смерть" Ukrainan band, and Orange Disgrace (Апельсиновое Безобразие). Maybe it will interesting for you, Ken, and WFMU listeners.

11:17am fleep:

Happy New Year, Beijing!

♥ 11:19am dale:

are you telling us we should call in and FART?

♥ 11:19am Ken:

Send me some links, Gleb.

♥ 11:20am Roberto:

Farting is always good for a theme.

11:22am f↻f↻ (:

Ken,

I listened to the last archived show of SSD just yesterday! Hilarity of the first order! You guys still have a minimum of 20 years to go. The Cannibal Holocaust bit got me in tears!

Is there a live SSD show today?

11:23am FART:

Fart metal was great!

11:23am P-90:

Is F.A.R.T. an acronym.? Like for a slogan to live by in 2015? Will I need a FART t-shirt to identify myself with the "movement"?

♥ 11:23am Marcel M:

That therapy session re-run is AMAZING. I've listened to it twice.

♥ 11:24am Ken:

Thank you f0f0! Tonight instead of SSD I will be doing open phones.

11:25am FART:

Scariest Halloween costume idea: the killer colon of Elvis Presley

11:26am f↻f↻ (:

Thanks, Ken. Sorry, I didn't realise FART was already asking and being answered about this.

11:44am Laura L:

Does anyone know what the dripping yellow shape encircling Andy's head and terminating at his chin in the Celestial Soul Portrait of Ken and Andy is meant to represent? A microphone?

11:45am Hot Mess:

I thought it was some kind of cosmic energy flow between brain and mouth.

11:48am JakeGould:

The dancing record is the best.

11:48am Paul D.:

Does anyone know what movie the gif with the green hair dancing girl is?

Hey! What's the name of the song at 2:03:15? That march.
