Listener comments!

♥ 6:27am -Ken:

Hello everybody

6:53am Mark S:

Hello

♥ 6:59am -Ken:

Nice avatar, Mark.

7:00am Mark S:

Thanks

8:26am cory:

Hiya Mark and Ken.

8:27am Mark S:

hey
what's up

♥ 8:27am -Ken:

Hey Cory - Any requests?

8:30am Listener Robert:

Dragon is draggin' -- too much wind resistance like that.

8:39am cory:

not much Mark.
Ken, just the usual.

♥ 8:40am -Ken:

I don't think velocity is the point, Robert.

♥ 8:49am Marcel M:

Morning Ken and friends

8:49am Losermom:

I'm so glad I quit my job so I could listen to Ken's show.

♥ 8:50am Marcel M:

That lizard looks like one of those creatures in Jurassic Park that shoots the goo at Newman

8:51am cory:

it's a Jeezus Lizard, right?

8:52am Listener Robert:

All I know is, it's sooooo cute. I wonder how long it took to train to follow a camera like that. Looks like it's trying to catch flies.

♥ 8:55am Marcel M:

National Geographic has a very strict training program with all the wildlife they shoot. They capture them for up to a year before releasing them back into the wild to be filmed.

8:59am Jack:

He's a silly question; Ken, why do you and Jonesy (f'instance) use the British spelling of "programme" as opposed to MAC who spells it American-style: "program"??

9:02am Jack:

I meant: "here's" a silly question...

9:02am jan:

I'll tune in later after my wife leaves- She doesn't like music playing in the background.

9:02am Slazenger:

Now Ken, don't play any crap today.

9:02am pierre:

I'm glad Newman is already mentioned so early in the show.

Bonjour Ken and Kenanigans !

♥ 9:04am Marcel M:

There is a doorman in my wife's building that looks exactly like Newman... its eerie.

9:05am pierre:

I feel that one of the main quality of this character, is that a lot of people could be a potential Newman

9:08am cobradan:

What would Tonetta do?
DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS

♥ 9:09am Marcel M:

Yo Dan!

9:09am Sam:

Can I request Tom Lehrer's "Vatican Rag"?

♥ 9:09am -Ken:

Jack, it's a class thing.

♥ 9:12am -Ken:

Slazenger: define "crap."

♥ 9:14am Marcel M:

Yeah Slazenger, are we talking the strict Andy Breckman idea of "crap" ? Or a more nuanced idea of crap?

9:15am cory:

Ken, we need plane tickets now!!! www.myfox28columbus.com...

♥ 9:15am crateslinger:

The cardinal is left-eye dominant and should switch his stance.

9:15am cobradan:

yo marcel

♥ 9:16am MD:

Good Morning my Radio libertines!!!

9:17am Spaceman One:

Beneath the Planet of the Apes - the best of the series.

♥ 9:18am Hugh:

Laibach's best nightmare!

9:19am Sam:

Ah nice, thanks Ken!

♥ 9:20am MD:

FIND THE POPE IN THE NYC PIZZA!!!

9:20am Jack:

I saw "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" at the drive-in doing the most powerful electric Purple Owsley acid...so, yeah, I agree it's the best in the series.

♥ 9:21am Stevel:

Any day with Tom Lehrer is a better day.

♥ 9:21am MD:

I think he's gonna be at Ray's on 11th st...If it's still there!!!

9:21am Jack:

My 8th grade English teacher got suspended for playing "the Vatican Rag" in class.

9:24am Sam:

I got in trouble in high school french class for reciting "Auteuil Neuilly Passy" by Les Inconnus. I listened to the album over and over and memorized the song and did a great job, and she was mad because the lyrics are offensive. Excuse me for learning real french, lady.

9:25am bobdoesthings:

good morning.

♥ 9:25am Hugh:

Jesuit high school. I got in trouble.

9:26am Sam:

It's a fantastic song by the way, even if you don't understand french.

9:28am bobdoesthings:

blowing my mind right now. nah just kidding. just blew my nose.

9:30am Okasa:

Good morning Ken and non-Kens!

♥ 9:31am Stevel:

"I ran out of Catholicism."

Who knew?

9:31am Jack:

The Pope Smokes Dope - David Peel anyone?

9:33am Cubicle Carl:

That was also before WPLJ sped up the records by some measure of rpm.

9:34am egal:

I hope the Pope brings Sister Cristina with him.

♥ 9:35am Guido from Cologne:

Good morning Ken and everyone!

♥ 9:35am Brian C.:

huh, I have that Snuky Tate pope 7". What is it?

♥ 9:36am Stevel:

That is the best gif pairing of the year, perhaps century, for Green Green Grass.

♥ 9:36am Webhamster Henry:

I don't think there's any audio from it, but John Guare's play "The House of Blue Leaves" takes place during Pope Paul VI's visit to Shea Stadium. "The day that the Pope came to New York/It really was comical/The Pope wore a yarmulke."

♥ 9:36am Hugh:

Jah Wobble sang a bunch of cheeky relevant things.

9:38am Sam:

Stevel, I agree, there they are all coming to see him.

9:40am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Ken - I am sure you have seen this, but just in case you haven't:
Krampus (2015 ‧ Horror)
When members (Adam Scott, Toni Collette) of a dysfunctional family gather for Christmas, they accidentally unleash the wrath of Krampus, an ancient demon from European folklore.
Release date: December 4, 2015 (USA)
www.youtube.com...

9:44am Jack:

Is it true what I heard that tickets to see the Pope in NY are being scalped for hundreds of thousands of dollars?

♥ 9:45am -Ken:

Oof, yes, saw the news about the Krampus movie. Glad I vacated Krampus before they pole vaulted the shark.

9:45am Parq:

Jack, seriously, how could any expect that not to happen?

♥ 9:46am Marcel M:

I heard prices dropped significantly after he baptized that bastard child

9:46am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Ha! Well put Ken.

9:46am egal:

The Pope is bigger than the Beatles.

♥ 9:47am Andrew Waterloo:

Is he bringing his sidekick Alterboy?

♥ 9:50am -Ken:

Alterboy will be there, in his hot spandex thong and every damn thing!

♥ 9:51am Andrew Waterloo:

Man! those hot dogs.

♥ 9:53am Guido from Cologne:

Liquid Liquid!

9:53am Mark S:

It is a crime that there is ketchup on those hot dogs

9:54am egal:

A light glazing of ketchup is appropriate.

9:55am Mark S:

I beg to differ

9:56am pierre:

@Jennique : thanks for the movie tip, don't saw that coming over here

9:57am Jack:

Ketchup on hot dogs? BLASPHEMY!!!

9:57am egal:

Mark S: I prefer mustard and kraut. But I'm open-minded about the ketchup.

♥ 9:57am SeanG:

these german comps are awesome--i think there are 4 volumes

9:57am Mark S:

OK how about chili?

♥ 9:58am Webhamster Henry:

Picky German Orthography note: Aus grauer Staedte Mauern

9:58am egal:

Mark S: definitely. I grew up in Skyline Chili country.

9:59am Okasa:

I am looking at a Skyline right now!

9:59am Jack:

Chili dogs are acceptable, as are ... (wait for it) ...Corn dogs!
but ketchup? Just no.

9:59am Mark S:

mmmm chili dogs

10:00am Okasa:

At least I'm not working at a Skyline...

10:00am Pechlach:

guyz in funni sweaterz moving funni

♥ 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park:

I used to clog my arteries regularly when Oscar Mayer sold hot dogs with nacho cheese filling.

10:02am egal:

Naturally, corn weenies are verboten

10:02am cory:

Noah

10:02am Mark S:

new music from Half Japanese?

10:02am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Half Japanese!

♥ 10:03am Andrew Waterloo:

Half-Japanese!

10:03am C in pensacola:

half jap

10:03am jamesie:

fat freddy

10:03am nancy man:

baba booey baba booey!

10:03am Neg-guh-tor:

gOOD MORNING! FAT FREDDY, PLEASE!

10:05am lar:

yupper Fat Freddy

10:07am Okasa:

So who thinks Ken made up his mind about Noah before he read any comments?

10:09am Cecile:

hola!

10:10am dictater:

When is the Donald Trump going to announce his running mate Don King, that's both sides of the American dream.

♥ 10:11am -Ken:

No way Okasa, Cory was just fast on the draw. Hola Cecile!

10:12am Brendan:

Hi Ken and people

♥ 10:13am ChrisB.:

Musical cues from an old Warner Bros. cartoon?

10:14am Bronwyn Bishop:

Damn I missed the Vatican Rag! I played that on my own show at school a while back. Also, Electric Prunes, ESG, Liquid Liquid- awesome set!

10:17am cory:

sry

♥ 10:17am Ken From Hyde Park:

Mission well chosen.

♥ 10:20am Greg from ZONE 5:

Morning, gang!

10:22am Brendan:

Blinding... Like science

10:23am thedunkel:

Morning Ken and everyone!

♥ 10:24am -Ken:

Welcome Greg, Brendan and thedunkel!

10:25am Hsur:

Play Rush!

10:25am Okasa:

I suspect Michael's idea of fun bears little resemblance to mine.

10:26am redkayak:

Howdy all......
Yes, play some Rush ;)

♥ 10:27am Hugh:

This one is rather good.

♥ 10:27am Guido from Cologne:

Oh!
Heer Peitziger will deejay in the club round my corner this weekend.

♥ 10:27am -Ken:

Tell him he's got a big fan here at WFMU Guido!

10:30am ironchefnate:

I have a song request please def leppard pour some sugar on me

♥ 10:31am Guido from Cologne:

I'll put on my WFMU-Tee and tell him about the station manager and his show!

♥ 10:32am crateslinger:

McMahon?

10:37am ironchefnate:

It's from the album Hysteria. Thanks a lot!!!

♥ 10:38am -Ken:

ironchef, aint gonna happen.

10:38am jamesie:

thank you Ken

10:40am Cecile:

that last song sounded very hummpa like

♥ 10:41am crateslinger:

I know it's you brother. Finish that IPA and get some sleep!

10:41am βrian:

A gargle-over?

10:41am Sam:

Is Fat Freddy sweaty?

10:42am Cecile:

Fat Freddy's Drop is a NZ reggae/pop band.

10:42am gogo gold:

Sorry to bother everyone. While you know, I'm sure, how much I enjoy all your postings - I enjoy the way all of you write, and everything you write, I wonder if you would mind if I made just one little request for advice. I am wondering what gift I might consider giving a beloved thirteen year old boy for his birthday. His gorgeous face radiates goodness and I hope to bring him something special! Now, I know you are a little touchy about newcomers, and I hope you weren't offended. My postings are far from perfect, I know, and if you wish to criticize any of my errors, I won't mind in the least.

♥ 10:44am crateslinger:

A swiss army knife is the perfect gift for a thirteen year old boy.

♥ 10:44am Marcel M:

That... sounds like a great idea! I'm glad I pushed rehearsal back so I can listen live.

10:44am Okasa:

@gogo gold - You may consider the board game "Who Tooted"...

10:45am βrian:

Pizza OR pie.

10:45am Bronwyn Bishop:

New Half Japanese! Yay!!! :D

10:45am Cecile:

no offense taken. I like thinking up gifts.
I would suggest art or writing supplies, or maybe a homemade mix CD. Gift cards with a small gift are also nice. For example, if you get him a certificate for art supplies, put a tiny sketchbook with it. Anything relating to his interests will be really appreciated I'm sure.

♥ 10:45am -Ken:

Gogo Gold, give that boy a drone.

10:45am Cecile:

crate, I also love your idea.

10:46am Cecile:

also yours, ken.

10:46am βrian:

Be sure it's the model with a corkscrew.

♥ 10:46am Hugh:

Woohoo! Saw Half Japanese with Wm Berger at Maxwell's in 91 or 92.

10:46am ironchefnate:

Ok ken I understand. I'm enjoying the show. I know def leppard probably isn't cool or weird enough but could they rock

10:47am Cecile:

hey, WFMU merch is also good, if he's a fan.

10:47am Cecile:

YES. I LOVE THIS DAMN SONG.

10:48am Sam:

Pledge enough to get him a date with Frangry.

10:48am Cecile:

DOUG GILLIARD FOR PRESIDENT

♥ 10:48am Ken From Hyde Park:

A BB gun is probably not a good gift idea. A kid could put an eye out with that thing.

10:49am Bronwyn Bishop:

Get him the WFMU cookbook! Or lunch box. That is, if he likes food. If he doesn't like food, get him the WFMU pen or something. And then in 8 years get him the WFMU shot glass!

10:49am βrian:

An eye out? A cop could shoot him for playing with the damn thing.

♥ 10:50am Hugh:

I always say get him a looper! And then I get, "He's got a looper!"

10:50am Cecile:

I recently got a nice hoodie with a cell phone pocket and little holes in the cuffs you can hook your thumbs thru and make fingerless gloves. I'm 54 and love it. I think a kid would too.

10:50am βrian:

Why is there no WFMU corkscrew? Is there a TSA-safe model out there?

♥ 10:51am Greg from ZONE 5:

Maybe tickets to something? Music? Sports? As a rule I try not to buy people stuff…though 13 year old boys really enjoy stuff…

10:51am Cecile:

a museum membership?

10:52am βrian:

How about a hoodie with a baseball-sized hood? It goes with those diminutive backpacks.

10:53am ironchefnate:

And the drummer only has one arm! He lost an arm in the British special forces!

10:53am Cecile:

www.oxfamamericaunwrapped.com...

10:54am Sam:

Can you get a WFMU hoodie with a built-in orange toupee?

10:54am Cecile:

def leppard? I don't think so. He rolled a car while drunk driving.

♥ 10:54am Ken From Hyde Park:

An Amazon gift card (and instructions on how to benefit WFMU with the Smile thing). He'll be empowered by deciding himself on what to get.

10:54am Brendan:

When i was 13 i found some porno mags. I was pretty happy.

10:55am Sam:

Yeah but Amazon's evil, isn't it?

♥ 10:55am Greg from ZONE 5:

I'm with Brendan and Cecile. Either the museum thing or the porn.

10:56am Sam:

Get him a gift certificate for a struggling local record store or graphic novel store.

10:56am Cecile:

oh! We got a gift certificate to a movie theatre once. That was great.

♥ 10:56am -Ken:

A museum membership? For a 13 year old boy?! Only if it's the museum of sex.

10:57am ironchefnate:

Cecile that was the story they wanted you to believe

10:57am βrian:

Tickets to the Porn Museum, then.

10:57am Bronwyn Bishop:

The museum of sex is awesome but you have to be 18...

♥ 10:57am -Ken:

Then get that boy a fake ID.

10:57am Sam:

When I was 13 I couldn't get enough of batting cages. Bowling too.

10:58am golde:

Thank you, everyone. Some great suggestions! He is from a very multiculti semi religious family, so I want to be careful about offending his parents (mine). Ken, my drone supplier has recently crashed his entire inventory!!! True story!!!

10:58am Cecile:

my little nephews were pretty geeky about museums at that age. It can be natural history. Or maybe if the museum plays cool movies, you can get passes to them. I'm just throwing ideas out.

10:58am βrian:

Speaking of, what comes between "fear" and "sex?"

10:59am Cecile:

Golde, let us know what you decide. I don't give gifts often, but love it when I do.

10:59am βrian:

fünf!

♥ 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

@βrian - Probably about twenty minutes.

11:00am Sam:

There was this Firefighting Museum in New Haven I used to love - you could dress up in fireman clothes and slide down poles and pretend to talk on radios. I wonder if it's still there.

11:00am ironchefnate:

A 13 year old boy wants one thing and one thing only. To be petted when it's over and told it's ok it happens to everybody the first few times you just have to keep doing it

11:01am golde:

awwww!!!!

11:05am βrian:

Why does it feel so pleasantly odd to shinny up that pole?

11:05am Okasa:

@Golde, the game Go or iGo or Baduk is one of the oldest games but has more depth of strategy than Chess. A nice club set and a book on Go strategy is what I wish I would have gotten when I was a 13 year old boy. (I didn't discover the game until my 40's when it was too late).

♥ 11:06am tadpoles:

I bet Brian Eno's Cat secretly wants to be Fat Freddy's Cat!

11:06am Sam:

Uh oh, Brian Eno's cat is no longer satisfied with 7 flavors!!

11:06am brain implant:

damn that gunther...

11:06am Roberto:

Is this Eno's cat?

♥ 11:07am Guido from Cologne:

I was about to say GODZ white cat heat.

11:08am Sam:

Gotta take him to Catskin Robbins.

11:09am ?:

my cat just begged to go outside....

11:10am Golde:

Love Go!!! Not sure if spiderman double is going to be making an appearance on the roof this year, but if he does, I might ask him to present the gift. It's could be fun to go anonymous, for a change.

♥ 11:11am -Ken:

If he likes games, try Settlers of Catan.

11:12am Okasa:

I like Carcassonne for Euro-board games. Also, I've been playing "King of Tokyo" recently, which is also a great game.

♥ 11:12am MD:

This was my Parent's wedding song!

11:12am Dan B From Upstate:

Settlers is fun. We've also been playing Coup and Exploding Kittens lately. Both are lots of fun

11:12am Cecile:

I love that game. Also Carcassonne.

♥ 11:13am MD:

They are dead now...

♥ 11:15am Ken From Hyde Park:

When I was in France on business, the folks there told me Carcassonne got its name when the queen rang a bell to warn people of an approaching army. Is that a true story?

♥ 11:16am Webhamster Henry:

Catpiano .. with the reverb option!

11:16am Cecile:

I don't know. I believe the game was developed in Germany.

11:16am googo:

my uncle has a nudist resort near carcassonne...didn't realize there was a game about the region! need to get with the program!

♥ 11:16am MD:

CATS!!!

11:16am #4:

oh my......

11:16am Cecile:

it's pretty damn fun. In a Cones of Dunshire kind of way. hahahha

11:17am pocket vito:

Whose uncle DOESN'T have a nudist resort near Carcassonne!

11:17am Okasa:

Carcassonne was also the last stronghold of the heretical Cathar faith.

♥ 11:18am MD:

Katz!

♥ 11:19am MD:

Katz's Corn beef...Now I'm hungary!!!!

11:20am Cecile:

I want a Jingle Cats Velvet Underground record

11:20am JakeGould:

Sell outs. I liked Jingle Cats when they were more into the music.

11:21am Cecile:

You try to keep them away from the catnip, but it gets em every time.

11:22am golde:

He loves music too...You know that song Oh Yeah by Yello? Cracks up with his brother listening to that song over and over again! Would like to give him a fun recording!

11:26am gohld:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the advice! He's a lucky boy, thanks to your suggestions!

♥ 11:27am -Ken:

Where are all the Donald Trump remixes at?

11:28am Cecile:

sounds like a contest idea, Ken.

11:29am JakeGould:

As a guy, my late two cents on gifts: Past the age of about 18 the only gifts I really appreciate are food and drink.

11:29am JakeGould:

Trump mix: “China… Shayna… China… Shayna… China… Shayna… China… Shayna… China… Shayna… China… Shayna… ”

11:32am Cheyenne:

This is the #1 late-summer jam!

11:33am sugarwolf:

I love this!

11:33am pierre:

I love this version

11:33am ?:

hot jam!

♥ 11:33am Webhamster Henry:

Many other hits need this treatment.

11:33am Bubba:

Where is she working now?

11:33am Cheri Pi:

What Pierre said

11:35am Listener Robert:

Of course! This boils it down to the essentials, the agreed-on facts.

11:35am Chris M.:

wait this PLU bit is actually good

♥ 11:35am Webhamster Henry:

It also oddly reminds me of John Schnall's treatment of Charlene
s "I've Never Been To Me"

11:38am the Canterbury wood-elf:

WH's comment reminds me of DJ Stashu's memorable treatment of "I've Never Been to Me" at the Hoof'n'Mouth a couple of years back.

11:43am sugarwolf:

BACCARA!!!!!

11:43am pierre:

BACCARAAAAAA !

11:44am pierre:

right here, this is Miss Pierre favorite song to karaoke too

11:45am Losermom:

Settlers of Catan is one of my favorite games!! I would recommend. I learned the German version, first.

11:49am Pip from Bham:

Hi Ken, late to the party. My dad sez 'play some Hank Williams already'

11:50am FփFփ (:

Hi, Ken, peoples!!

♥ 11:51am -Ken:

haha Pip! That will fit right in with this set... great to hear from you!

11:51am pierre:

I concur, Settlers of Catan is good fun, I also played Bang! (a card game) and it was good fun (a little more on the role playing side)

11:51am Dan B From Upstate:

Yay! The Booty Bank!

11:53am Pip from Bham:

If you dig deep you may find Hank's got a pretty versatile back catalogue

11:55am Bubba:

Was robbing the booty bank the emergency?

♥ 11:56am Webhamster Henry:

Somewhere I have a tape of WFMU kid-of-the-air Arnan's Emergency Broadcast System recital.

11:59am FփFփ (:

I guess I arrived just in time for the end of the show!

Please, can we repeat it....live? Just once and that's it. I am not asking too much.

♥ 11:59am Rich in Washington:

Been nice having Do or DIY on Fridays this summer. Can't wait til Vicki comes back - but her upcoming schedule sounds fascinating.

12:00pm luca:

bimhuis = bimhouse ;)

♥ 12:00pm MD:

Let Dwayne in! Forget God...remember Dwayne! LET HIM IN!!!

12:01pm FփFփ (:

Let him out for just three more hours!
