I know, cory. But rest assure you and all the other non-Kens were always on my mind during my absence. As for Ken's show I haven't missed any archived show yet.
Hi Ken, this is the first time I've been able to listen to your show live. You may remember that Miles my youngest son and I visited and you kndly gave us the grand tour of WFMU a couple of years ago.
Growing up, I thought it was called a juice harp. I guess cuz my small town had no/few Jewish folks?

Hi Ken. I'm going to go risk introducing my Ukrainian office mate to Olga Podluzhnaya . I tried the same and explaining Baby Animal once. It did not go well.
Hell, let's nominate Pol Pot too while we're at it

Forget Trump, give KKKHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM a nobel prize!!
9:59am
Peter K.:
Ken, ANYONE can be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. It means nothing. Anyone who wants to submit a name can submit a name -- any name. Rush Limbaugh and Jerry Lewis have been "nominated" this way, It's not as if some august Nobel committee is seriously considering Trump for the prize.
Hi Irwin et al! I really like the Frippertronics in this Bowie track Helden. I heard King Crimson with Adrian Belew perform it once and Belew really did it justice with his singing. I think he is underrated as a singer...
Kristian Berg Harpviken, a Nobel watcher and head of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo, told Reuters the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has also been tipped for an award, alongside Colombian peace negotiators, US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation.
He also a claimed to have seen a letter submitted by an unidentified US nominator who proposed Trump for “his vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, Isis, nuclear Iran and Communist China”. He did not list Trump as one of the candidates who actually has a chance of winning.

I was listening to last weeks show yesterday, you played this song twice then.
Ooh this bed music brings me back to sitting in traffic and praying my child will fall asleep
10:31am
wow!:
I'm so glad I'm home sick today, I'd have missed this. What a fantastic show. You are making me forget my cold for a while. Loving the Bombay Beach Boys version of Pipeline!
I see Trump as a gift send from heaven for me to become the next president of the US! Thus bringing about the WW3 for my personal gratification. Imagine the countless of great anecdotes I will be able to tell to my future grandchildren!
Ken, something I've always been curious about -- if I'm listening to the 128k mp3 stream and I'm going to step away for an hour or two, is it cheaper for WFMU for me to stop the stream or just let it run while I'm gone? Like, is initializing a connection more costly than just letting it run? I'll take my answer off air.
I think our Canadian friends and the Brits won't be laying out the welcome mat. They view DT as rather an extreme terrorist type. I heard that Putin is keen to chat though, isn't Trump shacking up with a Russian women?
Who Can Nominate for a Nobel Prize?
Each year, thousands of members of academies, university professors, scientists, previous Nobel Laureates and members of parliamentary assemblies and others, are asked to submit candidates for the Nobel Prizes for the coming year. These nominators are chosen in such a way that as many countries and universities as possible are represented over time.
Checked out Rob Ford's Wikipedia entry, strange looking person, i question the intelligence of people who vote for people like that. Not that I'm particularly brainy :)

I challenge Rolando Bruno is Thai. He sings this song in Spanish and sounds like a Mexican.
Yes, these are the best goddamn whale sounds I ever heard. Thank you Ken!

Brendan:

11:28am
Brendan:

If I am not mistaken that's the distinctive mating sound of the cetaceans balaenoptera borealis, and judging for the dissonance of the sound travelling through the water I'd say it is native of the Northern limit of Barentsz Sea
Oh, no Cliff. That's not the aforementioned GIF at all. Ken knows, long time fans of the show know. Perhaps next week we shall all see it in all its pixelated glory
The image in the car reminds me of being asked if my wife had ever tried a particular act in our car; I replied that that would have been really dangerous given that she does all the driving....

I checked! Rolando Bruno is Argentinian!
Many thanks, Ken! Fabulus show as usual!

Holy smokes I was driving to class and saw that car flipped over!
