Your last week's absence, Ken, meant last Wednesday didn't happen. Now my biological clock tells me today is Tuesday. You have meddle with the primal forces of my natural circadian rhythms, Mr Ken, and you will atone* !!
* Perhaps playing any *cough* Barenaked Ladies *cough* request coming from cory.
PEACE All. Damn, Debbie Harry was hot. How about some new Blondie? I guess that's a given. That top GIF is disturbing, Ken. How about some 75 dollar bill? Or Dengue Fever? Maybe a country western Murder Ballad (suicide ballad) like The Handsome Family's "Weightless Again"?
Ken- FYI -you can read about Ken Rad-The history can be found on google! to this day there are corporate descendants to the company still making electronic gear.
That KenRad tube reminds me of being shewn to my new office in the mid-'80s, a luxurious fourth-floor elevator-less garret recently reclaimed from bats, and found that the hall immediately outside it was lit by a genuine, pointy, Mazda® lamp. These days, a graduate student would have stolen it and flogged it on eBay; back then who knows when or why it disappeared….
So after listening to these scheiseflauten segments carefully, I believe them to actually be a COMBINATION of nose flute (what you're hearing in the second verse here), AND the recorder (which we heard in the first verse). They make very different sounds.

what is this now? It sounds like a basoon, or some Middle Eastern instrument.
That Happy Valley Band approach reminds me of double-translation experiments - take some text in English, Google Translate it into another language, then translate it a 2nd time back into English. Weird results

F³F³ (:
I thought Happy Valley Band was the guy Ken played two weeks ago (ie.John Meek).

By the way, who is the listener that gets very angry when Ken talks over this mic break classical music? Are you in here?

Actually listening Live... Too hot here to be outside. Alternating between reading / listening to the radio naked in bed - not touching myself - and taking coolish showers.. must go now to pick up the offspring from school. I'll cathch the rest later in the archives. Thanks for Spinning. Morphe

Zach from Ann Arbor:
The story of why dennis rodman goes to NK is actually kidna interesting. Kim is a huge basketball fan and Vice said they'd bring dennis rodman to visit in return for letting them film a documentary.
@egal I tried that once, but then my boss got all weird about it and started harassing me with questions like "WHY ARE YOU UNZIPPING YOUR PANTS IN YOUR CUBICLE?!"
Mark Twain did the double translation thing too:
"The jumping frog : in English, then in French, then clawed back into a civilized language once more by patient, unremunerated toil" archive.org...

great german music. how about playing Humppakavalier?
Happy Valley Band approach reminded me of the laboratory room double-grab some text in English, Google translate it into another language, then translate this in another language in English. Exotic results
Ken and Andy actually did a Seven Second Delay using the AT&T translation service onthe same principle, translating personal ads from the Village Voice. Note: this was around 1993.

hey fcc does clear pleastic hefty bag count as attire
That animated image for "Safe Space" brings to mind P.J. Farmer's "The Image of the Beast" which really should be the inspiration for a black-metal concept album.
The Jokerfan is a marketing musical genius ahead of our time. I also like his film production approach of producing his own films based on what his cult following audience can afford.
@Cecile, surfing is easy. Paddling back out is hard. I'll play Priest if things goes in the direction.. hang in there Cecile - I had a week LAST week. still recovering

I have a hard time with anything where your feet are gliding out from under you. That includes ice skating, roller skating, roller blading, skiing, water skiing, snow boarding, skateboarding and surfing.

Am I a savage for preferring the Tracey Ullman version to all others?
When I was not teaching him how to lit fires I used to play Slayer's videos to my flatmate's 5 year-old son to counter her religious indoctrination (i.e. playing him Jesus Christ cartoons). I was the good guy in the flat.
I have to say yesterday, I was unreasonably moved by Katie shouting out to me about how I turned her on to Flying Nun records, and Brian Turner giving me a shout out too (all I did stumble onto a bunch of Alpaca Brothers videos on YouTube). It makes my daily struggles more bearable knowing that something I did once mattered a little. Okay, maudlin time is over.
Ah, I missed nick Lowe/Brinsley Swartz doing What's So Funny... stupid work. I'll have to listen to the vinyl when I get home, man that's an old record
@F³F³ (: Maybe he figured you'd rebel against great stuff if he played it too much. I don't foist the great stuff on my kids, thinking they'll discover it for themselves later in life, but reject it if I bombard them throughout their childhoods. You found CAN now, right?

Despite my multiple votes for Heavy Metal, I am not a kremlin stooge.
I already yearn for next weeks 11 am dose of Felder. still I hope there will be an investigation regarding Comrade Warwickovichs ties to Russia. To clear his name!

debbi wasserman your the burning ring of fire's sacrifice....get over it .you can have a therapy dog in the afterlife
Songwriting credit for "Folsom Prison Blues" was awarded to Gordon "Seven Dreams" Jenkins after the settlement of a copyright infringement suit against Cash.
Thank you all so much! We have unseated Don Felder from the position of prominence that he never earned. The Buddy Scott Trio now occupies the top spot. Now to destroy all copies the Heavy Metal soundtrack.. I will be right back.
I also removed all of my iTunes star and heart ratings and have trashed all my Amazon reviews.

If clicking a star is selecting a favorite, then logically one can click only one star.

She did a German version of Where Have All The Flowers gone, while gorgeously costumed people fell to the ground and pretended to die around her. Gorgeously heavy handed and a very Teutonic sensibility.

I mean, I "like" both of my kids, but neither of them is my "favorite."
these clinky stars are starting to sound like chard recount....lets just kill julias caeser and have a bunch of bloody civil wars to settle the reissue

Bronwyn - dedicated to his partner who died of AIDS. Very gut wrenching.
i just read a SLEAFORD MODS interview in mag THE BIG TAKEOVER (came out last month, Chrissie Hynde on cover). they have a lyric: "Brian Eno, what does he know?". good question.
I'm hearing you! In fact, let Ken and Andy do a SSD episode based on Dr Death (i.e. telemarketers calling people on behalf of a clinic specialised in euthanasia).
I remember seeing an old Looney Tunes cartoon where Yosemite Sam screams "OPEN THE DOOR!" then turns to the camera and says "You notice I didn't say 'Richard?'" It confused the hell out of me as a kid.

thekenschlampen:
what a great song, the inspiration for bob dylans open the door homer
@Mick The extent to which Looney Tunes has extended certain pop cultural references has always fascinated me. Children probably still imitate Edward G. Robinson and Peter Lorre without having a clue who they are.

does the red queen stab the beast of the bbq with her steely dan knifes?
For some absurd reason, I got it in my head that Barbecue segues perfectly into Killdozer's Going to the Beach. I cannot hear one without the other now.

Hey Carmichael, this heat wave in the west hitting the Sac Valley?
Just give deep learning (artificial intelligence) 2-5 years and we will have Jacques Brel singning Barbecue. Or any artist singing any song from any other artist.
