Thanks, Ken. I always feel bad having to bug Joe for something because swag wrangling seems like one of the toughest, most time consuming jobs at the station. That being said, Joe is always super polite and incredibly patient. He should probably stick this customer review in his 'I Love Me' folder for his performance review. Does WFMU have performance reviews?
RE: hair - Funny thing about going through that 1980s hardcore phase as a teen; you get friendly with clippers. To this day, I've had one (1) professional haircut since. The idea of going into one of those places is terrifying. Wouldn't know the first thing...
Which album is that Duke Ellington track on? His discography is so huge and I don't think I've ever heard that one, but I'd love to check out the whole album.
I think its been 6 or 7 years since I got a haircut. But it tangles so much, that when I wash it, and de-tangle it, it sort of cuts itself. Or at least it seems like it hasn't grown much in a while.
I don't think I know any songs about powertools, but I remember that cheesy Mr. Big song where Paul Gilbert plays the guitar with a drill that has a guitar pick on it.

That haircut is all the background check I would need to not sell him a gun. But then, Daddy solved all that by GIVING his mentally ill, white supremacist son a firearm for his birthday.
That video that they kept showing of the shooter in that blue room with the guards in the back was pretty intense. I was at Jury duty when they kept playing it with no volume on loop on CNN all day. It was a strange experience.

What happens when you combine Andy Breckman with Ken request for songs about powertools?
This:
James Taylor - Handy Man

@Ken: A ha! Interesting. I thought he was saying that to assure the Republicans that it WAS indeed possible. Don't dumb liberals believe in a hot smart woman? Or was that a jab at a certain someone?
10:00am
Mark:
Right, because to liberals smart and hot are mutually exclusive. Conservatives, on the other hand, view women as fully realized human beings, irrespective of their physical appearance--witness the female hosts on Fox.
That's a very interesting way of looking at it, Caryn. Personally, the less complaints I hear in my daily life, the better. You don't care about my problems, and I don't care about yours. (In general... not you specifically, Caryn! :-P)
My Southern hate would really like to see Ol Hank eviscerated or drawn and quartered or some ol school shit like that, but then we wouldn't have him to make a song for Ken to mock in 2016. Thanks for reminding me Hank called Palin a "dish".
Next, the comments board will form a complaints choir and perform a song about what a douche ol' Hank is, followed by a complaint about how there are not enough douches like him writing dumb songs for us to ridicule.
Considering even Singapore couldn't handle a complaints choir, I suspect Kim Jong-Un would just feed the choir to rabid dogs before they even got a song together.
Kakapo's are a great animal for audiophiles, since they construct a sound magnification system to blast their mating call across valleys. They also look both adorable and funny (and a bit like old men with big noses). And the male kakapos constant, usually unfulfilled quest to find females makes them real-life Ents.

The network pulled that episode of 'Barney Miller', the famous 'kill the humans' episoide....
High impact hammer drills produce a nice sound. Especially going through concrete. Not too loud. Just very buzzy whizzy. Sometimes like a brapped up minibike.
For power tools, don't you have a song that used some 2-stroke engine as one of the instruments on it? Might've been a chain saw, possibly a motorcycle.
who's been listening to BBC Radio 4 late at night! Good to hear 'Sailing By' - i had to run back in the room to post...Good on u Ken! We love R4 & WFMU

I saw Beneath The Planet of the Apes while tripping on really intense electric purple owlsey acid. What a great movie!
They say the Mass of the Holy Bomb was written before filming, so it could be played back and sung along to during filming (kinda like Leone would blast Morricone's score on some of his film shoots).

The wau the word "slime" works in the tech, meaning everything the fabian commodore cult leader wrote, is sliming the neighborhood, which is giving the neighborhood all sheets everywhere blackmailing or making shit up
I always think they can't slime the neighborhood anymore, or don't right now, is that then they'd be giving the internet a lot of physical stuff to have fun with
a nice, sunny day some people can't enjoy because they're actually physically locked underground wanting me to help them be able to enjoy such a thing like you can
@IXKey: Give it a rest. You know what will change the lives of people stuck underground? Some random nonsense discussion on a radio stations message board from someone into the oddness and obscurity of cult phenomena.
Freshman roommate pulled an 8 in the draft. He played No Time over and over that night, dozens of times. Fortunately for us all, the war ended before it got us.
I saw that 7-sec. vid last night too. YouTube recommended it. Guy seems to have disproportionately large head.

Have anyone noticed the baby animal appears everytime Ken's shows end ? Indeed. If you listen carefully to the previous shows you will notice this pattern. I'd call this phenomena the Baby Animal Omen.
@IXKey: I am fairly confident most people on WFMU’s board knows that Scientology is batshit crazy. If you want to reach the masses, get a radio show on 1010WINS to get to the true mass of America. Otherwise, please give it a rest.
