We believe you, Vicki. You're among friends here.

6:32am People Like Us:

my left eye was waiting, my right eye was watching Xanadu

♥ 6:40am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning, citizens. I feel totally adrift in the current DNC without Jim the Poet and his reports. Where can I go to get fair and balanced convention reporting?

6:41am cory:

mornin all. found out yesterday my town has wifi downtown. might go hunting pokemon

♥ 7:08am -Ken:

Dont get run over like Justin Bieber did in Jersey City, Cory.

7:25am ʧoʧo (:

Good morning, Ken, cory, Vicki, Ken From Hyde Park!

Am I the only one that can't get to properly play any of the Ken's archived shows using the new version (3rd) of the pop-up videoplayer for desktop computer using different browsers? The problem is the streams keeps breaking every fraction of second.

I've noticed this new version showed up just few weeks ago in all Ken's and SSD archived shows.

7:27am cory:

wow, that's some crap wifi. hiya kens, non-kens, and anti-kens

7:29am cory:

@FoFo, i've had that happen to me on the Kindle app too. usually durning burns & jonesy

7:34am ʧoʧo (:

I forgot to mention that, in order to play any Ken's archived shows I changed the version in the URL (i.e. change it from 3 to 2). Then everything is back to normal.

7:50am sphere:

hello peops.

♥ 7:59am Ken From Hyde Park:

There was a paragraph on the main page that mentioned that the tech team is testing out an HTML5 player. Maybe you could try it again, ʧoʧo, and send the station manager an email with specifics of the operating system, browser version and such.

8:12am Jack:

Man, that IS a Nazi salute. So who specifically is she saluting? before she turns it into a "I'm just waving to the audience"...

♥ 8:15am AnAnonymousParty:

GM y'all. Can we hear something cool today? I'm really growing weary of the 100°+ days.

8:15am sphere:

yeah, Jack. i think her salute was one of the biggest dog whistles ever.

♥ 8:18am Marcel M:

Wow she starts with a heil and then turns it into some sort of I want you/princess wave. Who is that lady?

Morning Ken and friends.

8:19am Wild Neil:

Peace everybody.

8:19am ʧoʧo (:

Thanks for letting me know, Ken From Hyde Park. Didn't notice it. I always come directly to the archives pages.

8:23am ʧoʧo (:

♥ 8:24am -Ken:

Yes, f0f0 this is the first such report Ive heard so please send me specifics and I can share it with Jason and Kenzo.

♥ 8:25am -Ken:

What's your pleasure everybody?

8:25am Wild Neil:

Harsh Toke, please.

♥ 8:25am Marcel M:

Its true, FOFO, lots of people Heil.. hell everybody's heilin'!

♥ 8:26am AnAnonymousParty:

Ken, I'm already on the record for something cooling. BTW, did you figure out what to do with the 'band'?

♥ 8:28am -Ken:

Thanks AAP - Yes, the band os beautiful and all lit up in my office although I want to put it into the main studio. AAP built WFMU a super cool little 4 piece transistor band that lights up and bops to loud sounds and vibrations to boot! I should post a pic but I dont have one handy

♥ 8:29am -Ken:

Everybody heils, just like the children's book says, but nobody tries to correct it as hilariously as Laura Ingraham.

8:29am Wild Neil:

@Ken, what is the GIF of the disintegrating busty robot woman? Any idea what movie that comes from? Also, could we have a traffic cone update today?

♥ 8:30am Marcel M:

@Ken: That IS true... She looks like she's doing a slapstick routine.

Screw the cones, I need a nefarious pigeon update.

♥ 8:32am -Ken:

cone AND pigeon update today. LOTS of news on both fronts

♥ 8:33am AnAnonymousParty:

"I should wave to the crowd ... OH SHIT, I'm Hitler! ... dial it back, make it a wave ... don't be the Queen, don't be the Queen ... point to that guy, and mom ... maybe they didnty notice ..."

8:34am Wild Neil:

@MarcelM-I wonder if they gave homeless people nets to catch pigeons they could then cook them over burning 50 gallon drums and thus feed themselves and their families a delicious grilled chicken-like dinner. I think the French have a pigeon recipe.

8:38am Homeless Guy:

Great, now I finally have a use for that can of truffles in my pocket.

♥ 8:40am Marcel M:

@Wild Neil: Something tells me that begging for a few hours and making a few bucks is a bit easier.

8:41am People Like Us:

I'm sure all the homeless people reading the comments board on their macbook pros would congratulate you on that statement

8:42am Wild Neil:

@Marcel-of course. Path of least resistance.

8:42am Jack:

I never know the proper etiquette for heiling. And how to respond if someone throws me the salute?

♥ 8:43am -Ken:

Dont eat the pigeons. Trust me. Will explain.

8:43am People Like Us:

throw a pigeon?

8:44am People Like Us:

pigeons are mainly full of plastic bags, lengths of string and nails from Ken's cones

♥ 8:44am AnAnonymousParty:

Can you turn a Heil into a Heil-Five?

8:45am Jack:

Squab

♥ 8:45am Marcel M:

@AAP: I believe thats called, "the Leipzig special."

♥ 8:46am Ken From Hyde Park:

Pigeons, aka "sky rats."

8:46am People Like Us:

boy oh boy

8:48am cory:

@-Ken, i'm going to request that one song you don't want to play that i think you would like.

♥ 8:48am AnAnonymousParty:

I'll bet it has something to do with pigeons eating garbage and other crap, the meat is laced with heavy metals and toxic chemicals, parasites. That's gotta be yummy, right?

8:50am Losermom:

Whew, I made it!

8:50am Wild Neil:

www.bbc.co.uk...

♥ 8:53am Marcel M:

OK, he's happy...but why?

♥ 9:12am fred:

@Wild Neil: I don't know of any recipe. We call pigeon flying rats

9:13am Cecile:

He's happy because he's the OG, Ivor Cutler!

9:15am People Like Us:

what's the gif next to Michael Kamen from?

9:15am bobdoesthings:

I like this gif... you should save it if you ever play "I whip my hair back n forth" by will smith's daughter.

9:15am Cecile:

I had a pigeon in a Chinese restaurant. All bones and gamier than than what I imagine dry-aged rat would taste like.

♥ 9:16am -Ken:

Dont know, Vicki.

♥ 9:17am fred:

Sorry to mention music on that playlist of all places, but I like this Flower Crown track

♥ 9:17am Ken From Hyde Park:

I wonder what's the G. Gordon Liddy recipe for pigeon.

9:17am Cecile:

If you need to use pigeons, they still are good for delivering messages.

9:17am Cecile:

Hunting doves is a thing in Texas. (The birds, I mean.)

i was hoping to hear maggot brain this AM

9:23am βrian:

I think we're going to hear a story of maggots ...

9:23am sphere:

perfect. thanks ken.

9:23am Mark R:

Maggot Brain!

♥ 9:23am fred:

Yeah! Maggot brain!

9:23am Listener142985:

last call in cleveland?

9:24am Mark R:

The first song I played on the first show I ever did on WFMU.

9:24am Wild Neil:

Some people hunt prarie dogs from ridiculous distances using sniper rifles set-ups....

9:24am sphere:

pigeon that is raised for food is often called "squab."

9:25am Cecile:

Yes!

9:26am Mark R:

Nice GIF. And btw I'd take Nixon over any of this year's Republican nominees any day of the week.

9:27am Mark R:

Sphere, I remember one time Eddie Haskell said, "I have to be home for dinner. We're having squab tonight." To which Ward and June rolled their eyes at each other.

♥ 9:28am -Ken:

Nixon presided over a way more liberal populace than what we have now and he helped pave the way for all this shit.

♥ 9:28am fred:

@Mark R: There's only one by now, there's no denying it

9:30am Mark R:

I've become thoroughly convinced that if Trump is elected, we'll have World War III and therefore nuclear holocaust and therefore the end of the world. So whatever about Hillary, goddammit.

♥ 9:30am rsj:

alexa plays maggot brain

i love the reality that nixon was the last liberal president

9:31am βrian:

Squab is young pigeon (unfledged). Like pigeon veal, I guess.

♥ 9:32am fred:

Don't worry about being embarrassed by Trump. We french are likely to elect a neo-nazi so you'll soon be off the hook

♥ 9:32am rsj:

it's such mini minded hogwash hype that hillary is not truly great, sure she's a funny looking geezer but that just highlights the double standard

pigeon tacos are probably good

9:32am Mark R:

Ken, I read a very thought-provoking piece that traced the modern Republican party's roots back to Goldwater's rejection of the Civil Rights Act, that at that point their base really became white nationalists, even if their elites were Wall Street types. That the base never really bought into supply-side economics or any of that bullshit, they just wanted to preserve white supremacy.

9:33am Mark R:

Two neo-Nazis do not make a right. Although they make an extreme right.

9:33am Wild Neil:

I am lobbying for Korean BBQ tacos to go mainstream.
@Mark R can you post a link for that if its online?

9:33am Mark S:

Nixon was a war criminal

9:36am Mark R:

http://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12256510/republican-party-trump-avik-roy Neil. And I agree that Nixon was a war criminal. I wasn't making a pro-Nixon statement. I was making an anti-every single Republican in 2016 statement.

9:36am βrian:

I feel affirmed. Anybody up for the barefoot firewalk?

9:36am Wild Neil:

The Jason Stephenson is unsettling...

9:36am emile:

my beauty is natural

9:37am Mark R:

"We're sorry that a few people's feet were burned..."

9:38am Cecile:

Mark R, I loathe Nixon and I agree

9:39am Wild Neil:

@Mark R. I would posit something I heard on the radio-the office of president has gotten too powerful compared to Congress which has abdicated much of its power. Regardless of WHO is in office. I would like to read more about this from both sides.

♥ 9:39am MD:

TACO!!!!

9:40am Cecile:

I also agree with Ken

9:40am ((Murakami Whywolf):

Nixon
0.) had to deal with what looked like a permanent Democratic majority in the Congress that was sometimes about as left-wing as Bernie Sanders (today, not then), and
1.) in his heart never gave a damn about domestic policy, which is one reason why he was able to pivot from the Republican most esteemed by the Civil Rights movement to the Ailes-advised genteel* race-baiter he became.

*...in comparison to George Wallace—fake Wallace-supporters were seeded into his audiences for him to be less-nasty-than.

9:42am Wild Neil:

Cone update!!!

♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

Toxic New Jersey pigeon waste. Yark!

♥ 9:44am fred:

Congress is set up to be a place for compromise. Now it's taken to be a four-letter word, which speaks volumes about how math is a lost art

9:45am βrian:

Who here has eaten:
1) Squirrel
2) Raccoon

♥ 9:47am melinda:

I love this song.

9:48am sphere:

agreed, melinda. this is a perfect cover.

9:50am herb.nyc:

Hi. I read SANDERS by Ted Rall. Whoa!

♥ 9:50am -Ken:

I prefer this show and this board to be a space for people to ESCAPE the current idiot wind blowing over the world. So please.

♥ 9:52am rsj:

no more talk of squab tacos

9:53am @sugarwolf@:

For awhile there was a warning not to eat squirrel from Ringwood from NJ, but apparently you can now??

9:53am βrian:

I should add:
3) Rabbit

♥ 9:53am -Ken:

Squab Talk is coming dangit

♥ 9:54am rsj:

i've noticed a huge uptick in the chipmunk population, has anyone else noticed this? should we be alarmed?

♥ 9:54am Ken From Hyde Park:

I noticed that WFMU was started in 1958 and that was 58 years ago. What kind of evil magic is that?

9:54am Mark R:

I like the big-headed bathing beauties.

♥ 9:54am fred:

@sugarwolf: this warning is very geographically specific. What's the backstory?

9:55am Mark R:

The Free Hugs guy's shack seems cool.

9:55am herb.nyc:

I've eaten squab dark meat. Good

9:55am βrian:

Lead poisoning in the squirrels from a nearby superfund site, apparently.

9:56am KP:

This eno track would make a great political ad

9:56am Wild Neil:

@RSJ-my neighbor live traps chipmunks...and releases them in new zip codes. So far this summer, he has caught ten.
LIKE this Eno cover of Velvet Underground a lot.
@Brian-oh, I better cancel my hunting trip to Love Canal then...

9:56am ʧoʧo (:

The only interesting pidgeon-anecdote I have is about the first time I saw a white pigeon. I was eating in a huge dinning hall with glass walls then I look outside and saw a bunch of pigeons coming and then BANG! the only white pigeon of the group smashes into the wall and falls about 60 feet.

♥ 9:57am AnAnonymousParty:

@βrian: I have eaten squirrel and rabbit.

9:57am Mark R:

Since Justin Bieber was hit by a car in Jersey City yesterday, my question is, which FMU DJ was behind the wheel?

♥ 9:57am -Ken:

Chipmunks where RSJ? I got a ton of them in Sussex County NJ

9:58am Listener142985:

''free hugs'' just became my work desktop background. thanks!

9:59am Wild Neil:

Rabbit is supposed to be a very delicate meat.
@Ken-ever hear of Country Pie records in Newton? Used to go there a lot in the 80's...and also went on a couple dates with Ann...
Armenia City in the Sky is an AWESOME song!

9:59am herb.nyc:

I saw Petra do this, at Joe's Pube

♥ 9:59am rsj:

CT, and prospect park they're everywhere. it used to be a bit of a rarity, now they are darting in front of me everywhere i go, and i am not always wearing my blue WFMU shirt, so that's not it.

♥ 10:00am fred:

@Mark R: your asking is mighty suspicious

10:00am @sugarwolf@:

Apparently the lead found in testing was not from the squirrels but from the blender used in testing. MMMM squirrel smoothies!!!

10:01am Mark R:

I totally have an alibi, Fred.

10:02am sphere:

Squirrel Girl is the most powerful hero in Marvel Comics. Truth.

10:03am ʧoʧo (:

Talking about eating wild beasts. If they were legally edible, which WFMU DJ would you choose to eat and why?

♥ 10:03am Marcel M:

Ken! Play Walrus, by Boris/Merzbow.

10:04am Mark R:

It's not that easy to play the drums in those puffy Edwardian sleeves, either, dammit.

10:05am βrian:

Fava beans just don't taste the same to me any more.

10:06am kevlicki:

Good morning Ken, Marcel and all!

10:06am Cliff in Prague:

Hi Ken & everybody, I get to tune in live for the 1st time this month :)

♥ 10:06am tadpoles:

Thinking of The Who ... love the pictures of Lilys on the home page. Make my life so wonderful.
Thanks.

10:06am ʧoʧo (:

CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!

10:06am Wild Neil:

I am relentless and cheap so I am going to Amvets to go record hunting tonight....building a new collection for when I finally get a turntable...its only a buck an album...found a weird album I may send to FMU about America
's time to Choose and Nembutol...its like an election spoof record and a pharmaceutical advertisement......

♥ 10:06am Marcel M:

Cliff!! Hows living in Euroland?

10:07am βrian:

Record hunting? Now, those I've never eaten.

10:08am BennettCap:

Yo!

♥ 10:09am Marcel M:

Haha... much pondering and much THC intake later...

10:09am Zach:

I remember you guys talking about the nest you found. How long ago was that? Was that on your show or SSD?

10:09am βrian:

Wiccan or wicker?

10:09am Cliff in Prague:

ʧoʧo!

Marcel, I can throw a stone in any direction and hit a pub, every restaurant has booze, and I can buy absinthe in any convenience store :D

♥ 10:10am MD:

I LOVE HOME-TOWN RADIO!!!!

♥ 10:10am Marcel M:

Ken thew something at one, it bounced right near him, and he didn't flinch. Ken had to convince me they were real. I thought he was hallucinating.

♥ 10:11am Marcel M:

Sounds good Cliff!

♥ 10:11am fred:

@ʧoʧo (: Andy? When the question makes no sense, Andy Breckman is my go-to answer

10:11am Cliff in Prague:

Pigeons need to be featured on next year's WFMU t-shirt

10:11am kevlicki:

Strange, I've never seen a pigeon nest. But pigeons are everywhere! What do they look like, where do they make them, besides at wfmu?

10:11am (Murakami Whywolf)):

@sphere:
Yes, 'being unbeatable' is about the best superpower there is, basically 100% effective Plot Armour.

♥ 10:12am MD:

IT'S THE MOB KEN! YOU GOTTA PAY YOUR PROTECTION MONEY!!! I KEEP TELLIN YA!!!

10:12am PMD:

My favorite part of that last set was Petra singing wah wah wah

10:12am PMD:

I am sad about the pigeons.

10:13am Zach:

any chance we'll hear Clay Pigeons by the mountain goats?

10:13am herb.nyc:

Awww, pigeons

♥ 10:13am melinda:

That's a sad but illuminating story about the pigeons.

♥ 10:13am Marcel M:

@Ken: By the way, its Boris WITH merzbow, mostly boris, not a noise track: www.youtube.com...

Nice conclusion to the story. I wait with anticipation to see how the pigeons are doing on Friday.

10:13am ʧoʧo (:

fred,

hahaha...Andy Breckman would be my first choice as well.

Pigeons sitting on cones nailed to the letters 'WFMU' in Asphalt Medium Condensed Bold with Jersey Kerning?

10:15am sphere:

didn't Bert of Sesame Street have a song and dance called "Doing the Pigeon"?

10:17am Murakami Whywolf))):

Our sweet little Murdercat has not killed more chipmunks this year than usually, mostly voles and a few more shrews than last year...and a couple of rabbits.

10:17am Cliff in Prague:

Haha Murakami, WTH is *Jersey* Kerning??

♥ 10:17am Marcel M:

Wow wow wow Go GW SOK!

♥ 10:17am rsj:

i should post a photo of the anti-squirrel chicken wire cage i have around my garden, seems to be working for now--i may not need to electrify it after all.

in BK we have pigeons in the front sometimes, and lots of birds and no pigeons in the back. where there are real birds there are no pigeons.

♥ 10:18am -Ken:

Kevlicki, since you ask, pigeon nests look like little mini sacrificial alters, straight from the priops department of "The Blair Witch Project." Marcel will back me up on this.

♥ 10:19am Marcel M:

Its true, when we saw it, my first thought was, "Wiccan Ritual."

♥ 10:19am fred:

@ʧoʧo (: Come to think of it, Andy is probably way more nutritious than the average ramen and NJ squirrel fed DJ. Looks like a good choice. He should beware of starving listeners

10:19am Wild Neil:

When I was a kid I would sit in my sandbox...in the kitchen...and spit in the sandbox then eat it. I really dug the crunchy texture...

10:19am Cliff in Prague:

I wonder what the pigeons sacrifice to their Pigeon Goddess

10:20am Murakami Whywolf))):

Cliff in Prague:
It's a style of kerning I just made-up to overcomplicate the font designation, name suggested by FMU's home and the internal rhyme between 'Jersey' and 'kerning'.

♥ 10:20am Marcel M:

I then regaled Ken and the pigeons of the story about the first time I heard about Wikipedia I thought it was a website about Wiccan culture.

♥ 10:21am Webhamster Henry:

When you started talking about dead pigeons, I feared for Clay.

♥ 10:21am fred:

@Marcel M: It's not???

♥ 10:21am melinda:

@sphere: yes, Bert did have a pigeon song & dance.

10:21am Cliff in Prague:

::makes fist:: We gotchyer kerning RIGHT HERE, PAL.

10:21am ʧoʧo (:

Wait a minute..Marcel M, are you the same Marcel Ken refers every time he tells a I-was-smoking-weed-with-Marcel-in-the WFMU-building-when... anecdote?

♥ 10:22am Marcel M:

@Fred: Here is a Wicca Wiki: wicca.wikia.com...

Haha.. this is amazing.

♥ 10:22am Marcel M:

I am, FOFO.

10:24am Murakami Whywolf))):

When do Ken and the Pigeons play Monty Hall?…or Wiccan Pigeon Altar, have they re-formed yet?

10:24am βrian:

But the orange cones! Whither the orange cones?

♥ 10:25am Marcel M:

This Exploded View is great. New band it looks like.

♥ 10:26am fred:

Exploded View has a "Brigitte Fontaine meets The Fall" side to it. I like it

10:26am Luke:

Hello.

10:29am kevlicki:

Marcel and Ken, thanks, now I have to get educated on Wiccan rituals and actually sit thru the whole Blair witch project. I had zero patience for it when it was originally released.

♥ 10:31am -Ken:

Kevlicki - No need to watch the movie. just visit the props department.

♥ 10:31am Marcel M:

I still have not seen that either, Kev.

10:31am βrian:

@kevlicki: I intended to watch that, but —ya know— it kept slipping my mind.

♥ 10:32am rsj:

the kids and i found a fancy turkey/rooster/chicken carcass clearly ritualized in prospect park last Easter while egg hunting/foraging

♥ 10:32am -Ken:

Or you can also base the pigeon nests on something out of The Wicker Man.

♥ 10:33am -Ken:

Nice rsj! Voodoo Ritual Refuse! I once found a bloody owl in a sheet that was voodoo related.

10:33am βrian:

@rsj: any brightly colored eggs inside?

10:33am @sugarwolf@:

@Marcel: there is a book titled Wiccapedia!!

10:35am ʧoʧo (:

Marcel M

Cool! I remember few weeks ago, perhaps in SSD, Ken tried to anonymised you when telling a 'we were smoking weed in the WFMU building' anectode saying something along the lines "I won't say with whom I was smoking". But then, like 2 minutes after he totally forgot and slipped your name. Remember, Ken?

Oh, how much fun is to notice this type of things.

10:36am Wild Neil:

When I was a student at Syracuse U I knew a Wiccan girl who liked King Crimson and in her rental house she had a closet door that opened into a room in the earth made out of rock..in the basement.....covered with odd graffiti and slogans...it was odd!

♥ 10:36am Marcel M:

weed is just an ingredient in the Wiccan ritual.

♥ 10:38am -Ken:

That is the woman you should have married, Wild Neil. Your loss.

10:39am kevlicki:

Ken, now I need to see the Wicker Man?!

10:39am @sugarwolf@:

@Wild Neil: it sounds like a portal to another dimension!

10:44am sphere:

My dad couldn't stand Blair Witch Project because of the nonstop handicam action.

♥ 10:45am Vivian:

@Wild Neil, she may out there, still available! Speaking of movies, thanks to one of Ken's gifs, we watched 'Children of Men'. Eerie how it can be mistaken for today's events.

10:46am Murakami Whywolf))):

I doubt "The Blair Witch Project" has much to do with real (term used advisedly) Wicca…I always got the impression that it was about watchinng Millenial girls panting in fear under low-light conditions, and though I'm sure Crowley would have liked that, none of it was in the Ancient Wisdom Gardner cribbed from him for the "Book of Shadows".

♥ 10:46am AnAnonymousParty:

In Japanese, 'Goodbye, Testicles' is 'Sayonara, umeboshi!'

10:47am βrian:

Yeah, I skipped Run, Lola, Run for the same reason. I'll just shake my TV if I want that effect.

10:47am Polyus:

P.D. James' book is worth checking out as well, though a very different vibe from the movie.

10:47am Mark S:

That's not nice

10:48am βrian:

You do have security cams, right?

10:48am Beldar:

The cones were not stolen, they were set free and sent home.

She WAS super hot...and still is at 49 (thank you Facebook!)...but now I am a married man...

♥ 10:50am Planet Tyler:

So where can we see this video of madman Ken? :)

10:50am Luke:

Keep up the fight Ken.

10:50am Cliff in Prague:

Pylons!

Hey if you're going to use that asphalt line, you have to play Paul McMahon's "Turtles" www.youtube.com...

Otamatone!!

Is this beaker from the muppets singing?

10:53am Wild Neil:

I think Nirvana got a lot of ideas from Mudhoney....

♥ 10:54am Marcel M:

Thats a wild theory, wild neil.

♥ 10:54am fred:

You should get Andy to put gold-plated cones in there, then have Irwin and Bosh defend the turf

10:54am ʧoʧo (:

I have an idea!

Summoned all WFMU pigeons into one place. Catch them. Decapitate them. Put heads in a box. Send box to the jerk next door with a red blooded message saying 'Do NOT mess with the cones!'.

No more pigeons in WFMU building! No more jerk complain! Problems solved!

♥ 10:55am AnAnonymousParty:

Sometimes you don't always notice the subtle differences in sound between a Stratocaster and a Les Paul, and then you hear something like this.

♥ 10:55am fred:

Humppanirvana remains the best cover of this song

10:56am Mikeee:

KG can you re-post pylon nailing video.

10:56am Andy the painter:

this Andy would be glad to put gold LEAFED cones out there.

ken, there comes a time when every man must decide between being the nut with a hammer, or the grown up with the reflective pylons. congrats.

10:57am βrian:

You could slice warm butter with that diction!

Is that drunk Dean Milan?

10:57am Cliff in Prague:

Pooeyflute!!!

This is gold indeed

10:58am cee:

man, so glad i made it in time for scheiss fluten

O man Shittyflute is making me bust a gut

10:58am dfb:

i had to log in to say holy fuck !

♥ 10:59am Marcel M:

The people doing construction right outside my window must think I'm insane.

Or.. realize that I'm insane, rather.

♥ 10:59am coelacanth:

oh, shitty flute's on. i had to turn it off for shitty mumbly dude.

11:00am cee:

i feel like i'm at home when ken drops some poopyflute. finally, a place for me to be myself

11:00am SueAdynamo:

if my husband was listening to me listening to this he would at this point say, "Well that's what's wrong with you right there."

♥ 11:00am fred:

@Marcel M: Stopping the air fluting might help

11:01am Wild Neil:

For lunch: Cold Kielbasa sandwhich with mayo and white American cheese (not actual kielbasa but Aldi's version of it-which is better cold and very salty!)....blue corn chips (or sourdough pretzel nuggets) and peanuts....maybe something from the machine too for desert?

♥ 11:01am coelacanth:

...so Ken, why don't you have their vehicles towed? 4X and they'll never block your driveway again.

♥ 11:01am fred:

YEAH!!!

11:02am dfb:

it rodks

11:03am Jeff:

Shittyflute an Eläkeläiset both make me smile with genuine joy.

What has WFMU done to me?

11:03am cee:

this Eläkeläiset is pretty punk tho

11:04am ʧoʧo (:

Kielbasa!! Isn't that a word mentioned in the Big Sausage Pizza porn for the blind sound clip?! I have never seen this word before!

11:05am βrian:

Smoke on the Water, yo.

11:05am cory:

OH GOD. PLEASE 3 HOURS!!!!

♥ 11:06am fred:

Dokaka also has a pretty great version

11:07am βrian:

Squirrel adds a dense leanness to kielbasa that you just can't get from pork or turkey.

11:07am mark R:

The Dunkel, I'm pretty sure all the problems Ken presented on his Marathon video are still there to be solved, except I think the huge chunk of pipe has finally been removed.

You mean there's a Ken-o-matic Zingatron?

11:09am Wild Neil:

Sounds very experimental! I think there are remote operated shortwave radio, this reminds me of SSD...

11:09am Cliff in Prague:

Text-to-speech machine with samples of your voices?

11:09am Brendan:

Hey Ken !

♥ 11:10am Ken From Hyde Park:

Guaranteed success if the third caller is Aaron from Minneapolis!

♥ 11:10am -Ken:

Yes, an Andy Zingatron and a Ken Zingatron, each controlled by different people, and then a 3rd listener calls in to interact with said Zingatrons.

11:11am ʧoʧo (:

There must be a 4th listener to play 'Beth's calling in' soundboard everytime Andy's soundboard says something truly embarrassing for the Breckman family.

♥ 11:11am -Ken:

coelacanth excellent question - I can only tow cars out of my parking lot, not out of the street. I dont own the street.

♥ 11:13am coelacanth:

Ken - even if they're blocking your exit?

♥ 11:13am -Ken:

Yep. I tried.

♥ 11:13am coelacanth:

...that's not fair.

11:14am Whooda:

Ey! you kids outta my driveway, stay off the grass, that means you too DJ station manager Ken. And tell your punk kid he should practice air guitar instead of flute. he sounds like poo!

11:15am βrian:

Perhaps you could have "some friends" park them in.

11:15am cory:

i'll try to get my wife drunk enough to call in

♥ 11:15am coelacanth:

have you tried parking in such a way as to block THEIR exit? (that's still legal)

11:16am Wild Neil:

Wow, in Buffalo its pretty much understood you CANNOT park in front of ANYBODYS driveway blocking in people. Neither residential nor commercial (nor non-commercial non-profit...well, you know...)

11:16am βrian:

@coel: probably not legal, but no less legal.

11:16am Brendan:

Id would be a shame if something were to 'happen' to those offending vehicles

♥ 11:16am -Ken:

Unrelated to anything in particular, we are considering a lot of new features for this hear chatboard, including being able to reply to other posts, and then being able to create new threads of chat that would exist on separate tabs, and also being able to render certain posters invisible.

11:17am βrian:

... and delivery people *hate* to be impeded.

11:17am ʧoʧo (:

Exactly, Wild Neil! SSD idea sound very experimental! In the distant future, SSD episodes are going to be starred by Artificial Intelligence robots resembling Andy and Ken in voice and personaity. Callers could be real people or robots. No one will tell the difference! And because they are Artificially Intelligent powered, there will be no 'I lose the will to live' excuses! Just laughs!

11:17am βrian:

Simplicity is a virtue.

♥ 11:18am Ken From Hyde Park:

Cool chatboard news. Someone asked about hearts for pledgers the other day.

♥ 11:19am Marcel M:

@Ken: That all sounds pretty awesome.

11:19am cory:

@Ken, i dig the options you mentioned

♥ 11:19am coelacanth:

well, i know a guy who'd "tow" their cars out of the way. ("drag" would be a better term, since he'd pull them from the side)
...he might not do it for a stranger though; and not in broad daylight.

11:19am βrian:

Maybe bring in the iTunes design team while you're at it.

11:20am ʧoʧo (:

SCHLAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYY!!

I don't remember if I told you guys but Schlammpeitziger is actually pronounced:

Sch - Like saying Shit
Lamp - Like saying Lamb
Eit - Like saying Hey!
Tz - Like when you sneeze (i.e. achooo!)
Iger - Like saying Iceberg

So its basically like saying

Shit-Lamb-Hey-Achoo-Iceberg

Trust me. I took a basic introductory German class in 1998 and I still remember everything.

♥ 11:20am Andrew Waterloo:

If you base the AI of those robots off of everything that has already been said on SSD, won't SSD become a bunch of "we're terrible. huh huh.. this will definitely be our last show. huh huh " ?

♥ 11:21am -Ken:

Yes, the hearts shall return..

11:21am Cliff in Prague:

I know a guy who knows a guy who knows this other dude who takes care of things, if you know what I mean

11:22am cory:

i know a dude with a flat-bed. we both live in indiana. so...

11:24am will:

Almost sounds like gonzo

Is that Jesus Is Watching You pic from Texas, cos thats exactly what TX looks like

11:26am Marie:

Will stalking be allowed? (on the new "forum")?

11:26am cory:

could be kansas

♥ 11:26am Marcel M:

I love the OG JC Super Star version of this as well haha.

11:27am cory:

@Wild Neil, sounds more like a reddit thread to me

♥ 11:27am Planet Tyler:

Yeah maybe not Texas - TX has alternating Jesus/Church signs with strip clubs. those economies feed well of each other

11:27am ʧoʧo (:

Cliff,

My cousin's friend knows that guy!

11:28am Wild Neil:

I kinda like the chatboard the way it is...

♥ 11:28am -Ken:

coelacanth, because sometimes you need to silence somebody right? And sometimes you have 10 different conversations going on at once and it becomes very hard to follow if you have the poor judgement to look away for 3 minutes,

11:29am markreichard:

Remember in the Simpson's Movie when everybody thought it was the end of the world and all the churchgoers went to the bar and all the bar patrons went into the church?

11:29am Henry:

muppet Godspell next?

11:29am Mark S:

Change is good

♥ 11:29am -Ken:

@Marie - NO it will not.

♥ 11:29am Andrew Waterloo:

I remember when Lissa Simpson became President and had to clean up Trump's mess.

11:30am βrian:

It's New Mexico or Colorado. I'm guessing NM.

♥ 11:30am coelacanth:

Ken, oh. well, i could just shut up NOW... problem solved!

11:31am cory:

lol

11:33am Cecile:

Ken you might want to look up Tyro Rex Supersaur. Full libretto and the creators are amenable to it being produced.p

What a snarly little song.

11:34am mark R:

I like the turn this set has taken with these riot grirrrls.

11:34am Zach:

not a huge fan of different threads in the chat room, since there aren't so many people that you miss stuff, would just make the chatroom look quiter. but hey il stlil be here regardless

♥ 11:35am coelacanth:

will the new way change the way we can be having several conversations at once?
...i kind of like that it's like a group of people (as if in a room...a "chat room" i shall call it) and everyone or anyone is potentially involved with any conversation.

11:35am ʧoʧo (:

A glimpse into the future forum:

'Chat Room'? I've always thought of this as 'Party Cove'.

11:36am mark R:

Oh you know it will quickly be private chats devoted to particular sexual proclivities.

11:37am cory:

whoa, why do i get the music thread? too much pressure. can i get the smoking, drinking and napping thread?

11:37am βrian:

New Mexico it is. Google Street View:
tinyurl.com...

11:38am mark r:

New Mexico looks like a thrill a minute. Also not hot or anything.

11:38am Wild Neil:

Lol @ F0F0...
@Brian-WOW, you actually FOUND IT?? WOW.....

♥ 11:38am Andrew Waterloo:

It would be nice to pay intermittent attention to the chat and still maintain a thread.

♥ 11:38am coelacanth:

i think the occasional "troll" (or just asshole) could be handled better if hosts were encouraged to delete offensive or antagonistic posts, maybe with one warning. some djs seem to not know that's possible, while they watch their comment board spiral down a cesspool.

11:39am Brendan:

Id like a thread devoted to goats if thats ok

11:39am cory:

^weirdo #LOL

Over my dead body, Brendan. That's mine!

11:42am Dean:

Neneh Cherry should have sung for King Crimson.

You should eat dirt for playing that thing.

I bet you could find Rabbit pretty easily, Cliff. Maybe not Raccoon or Squirrel.

11:48am Mister Dobalina:

On a side note.. bit.ly...

11:50am Wild Neil:

@Cliff-what is the most surprising thing about Prague and the Czech Republic?

11:50am βrian:

I see that Google Street View's facial recognition algorithm has obscured Jesus' face! Ha!

11:51am Cliff in Prague:

All the bureaucracy, Wild Neil... also they don't have any concept of customer service

11:52am ʧoʧo (:

But they have DVA, Cliff! Can't beat that!

♥ 11:53am 1ke:

@Coel@11:38, agreed re: trolls. In some cases IDK if the DJs just don't know they can lay down the law or if they're just like, "eh, this is a free speech zone, let 'em run wild, whatever, I'll focus on doing my show."

11:53am Brendan:

Surfs up in Goa

11:53am Cliff in Prague:

What's DVA, ʧoʧo? (Other than the Czech word for 2)

And while we're at it, how would you pronounce "Strč prst skrz krk"?

♥ 11:54am -Ken:

Yes, I think that's the situation Ike

11:55am ʧoʧo (:

Would the 2nd Amendment be still valid in the WFMU new chat forums?

♥ 11:56am -Ken:

Thanks everybody! Tune in to SSD tonight and come to Monty Hall Friday night, if you can! See you next week.

♥ 11:56am iiike:

You mean the latter? Well once or twice a DJ actually said something like "I can't delete comments" so it's not *always* the latter. My reaction was, "Can't? Eh? Sure you can, can't you?"

♥ 11:56am MD:

this is like music to take GLEEMENEX By!!!!

11:56am Cliff in Prague:

Thank you Ken!

11:56am ʧoʧo (:

Cliff,
DVA is the most awesome band hailing from Czech republic.

Strč prst skrz krk = Sreet pretzels

♥ 11:57am Michael 98145:

Heh, Cliff. Somewhere i have a t-shirt with that -stick a finger thru your neck- phrase ...

♥ 11:57am coelacanth:

Ike, in the latter case i completely respect that point of view...but then there are times when the hostility or the self-indulgent,inane bullshit is obviously upsetting the dj - yet no action is taken. (i could but wont name names)

11:57am Brendan:

The word surf came from India . Suffe meaning coastline was later adopted by Portugese sailors and suffe became surf.

♥ 11:57am MD:

sailing by.....on gleemenex!!!!!
