The Balloon Scientist's Songbook: Ken's show

Listener comments!

6:52am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Since boss is not here, and it is nowhere to be seen I propose to have a party instead. Let's have a party. It's great when you get started out. We will throw our hands up and shout 'party'. We will throw our heads back and say "party, party, party".

Oh, why don't you come and join?!

7:41am weiterso:

morning f°f°,
the turkey circle is mysterious

♥ 8:04am -Ken:

Party Party Party

8:04am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Good morning, weiterso!

Yes. An inexplicable turkey behaviour. They normally circle inanimate objects counter-clockwise. But you know what caught my eyes? The man jumping out of the balloon. Yes. Another irrefutable proof the earth is flat as shown in the image.

♥ 8:10am Sebastian:

yay, party!

8:11am weiterso:

@f°f°, you're a rocket man!

8:12am Wild Neil:

PEACE all. My boss told me to "bring a pack of cards so you can play solitaire today." I think it's gonna be pretty quiet here. Going to friends for Thanksgiving so all I need to bring is a pumpkin pie from Wegmans and a bottle of red wine. Winner Winner Turkey Dinner!

♥ 8:25am -Ken:

Wegmans!!!!!!

♥ 8:26am -Ken:

Hazmat coming up on Wake at 837am. Got a meth lab today!

8:42am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

I feel better after listening to the hazmat report.

♥ 8:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

Ha ha ... watching the turkey & gravy pouring GIF while Clay is paying "Lust For Life" and it's hilarious.

8:57am Davee:

GM Ken

9:00am Wild Neil:

Wegmans is magic.

9:01am Wild Neil:

Gotta burn stuff today, no solitaire!

♥ 9:01am MD:

GOBBLE GOBBLE HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ 9:02am NotARealDoctor:

Higher quality version of the Twurkey if anyone is interested, I know I was: i.imgur.com...

9:02am Vincent Nifigance:

Ken, Bronwyn's show was amazing this morning. We want more.

9:02am Aaron Working In Newark:

You have any songs that go good with Cranberry Sauce?

9:04am Warwick joe:

Shazam just told me this song is from 2018. Ken finally got that time machine working?

9:06am Okasa:

Good Morning, SM Ken et al.

♥ 9:07am Ken From Hyde Park:

Holy whale shark, Batman!

9:08am debt collector:

Love from Burlington VT, Ken.
My favorite show 30 years running!

♥ 9:09am MD:

THE VOICE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:09am cat:

9:10am debt collector:

@Vincent @ken re bronwyn this AM - awesome show. Plus Bronwyn...yikes...dynamite.

♥ 9:10am MD:

A-SALAM...MY LEMMY!!!!

♥ 9:11am steveo:

Guten tag.

♥ 9:11am MD:

RIP YOU GORGIOUS MANCESTER VIKING!!!

9:11am listener james from westwood:

If you're listening to this stream over the net today, you might consider calling or emailing your Congress-critter to ensure you can do it without having to pay some sort of super-elite tiered plan for the privilege.

9:11am debt collector:

Is Rhode Island the cranberry capital of the world?

♥ 9:12am melinda:

hi Ken and everyone!

9:14am debt collector:

Maybe not RI but MASSACHUSETTS!

9:14am TGinNJ:

what's with the worms today?

9:15am Aaron Working In Newark:

Flatworms never disappoint!

9:15am Davee:

Pin worms itch

9:17am Okasa:

Repealing Net Neutrality is the first step in making it mandatory that all netizens listen to only WFMU. SM Ken has a plan. Trust in him.

9:17am zopa:

Station Manager Ken, Is it safe to assume that the exoskeleton has been repaired?

♥ 9:17am Sem Chumbo:

Hello, Hazmat SM Ken, and the Ken-friendly.

Dipping into the Manson library today?

♥ 9:18am doctorjazz:

Not seeing any updates of the playlist-is it my computer?
I don't see Congress (run by Republicans) reinstating Net Neutrality, unless next year they are voted out. The FCC can just decide to get rid of the Net Neutrality rules unilaterally as of now.

♥ 9:19am doctorjazz:

Ah, I'm updating, never mind.

9:19am Aaron Working In Newark:

Its like cleansing the pallet

♥ 9:21am Beast of Boonton:

Is the spare laptop Linux?

♥ 9:22am Ken From Hyde Park:

Awww. Look at little Moondog, heading off to goat school.

9:22am listener james from westwood:

Doc: Contact them anyway and make sure they know they can be primaried or cast out. Calls are tallied. Footsteps will echo.

9:22am Aaron Working In Newark:

The Damned~The Turkey Song

9:22am misterpickles69:

....is that The Smiths? LOL I love this

♥ 9:22am Webhamster Henry:

Nice shot of Moondog the kid!

9:22am Okasa:

If one had a really good ear, one could tell which OS the spare laptop runs by the fidelity of the music.

9:23am khd:

burroughs - thanksgiving prayer!

♥ 9:23am The Oscar:

I realized this morning that you can easily convince yourself "Tricky" by Run-DMC is about turkey.

9:23am misterpickles69:

Windows ME?

9:23am John in Bklyn:

Hi Ken! To carry over a request from @JerseyCowboy: Can you please play Ism's cover of I Think I Love You.

♥ 9:24am Webhamster Henry:

Porest needs a show!

♥ 9:24am Sem Chumbo:

XP, I am sure.

9:24am cat:

9:26am Morphe:

Please tell me that was imitation vanillin ice?? If not, do we expect M&M next.. To echo an echo"What's the matter with Ken???" "I don't know... I think he's on something...."

9:26am cat:

the revolution will not be a revolution

9:27am Davee:

It's not what you think

9:29am A Better Me:

I met a foodie once.

♥ 9:29am The Oscar:

There was a time when I thought this piece was great, but a little dated. That ended last year.

♥ 9:29am Sem Chumbo:

Bill! Pass the morphine!

♥ 9:29am Webhamster Henry:

WOB is always appropriate!

9:29am wittsend:

the best

9:30am Adam:

A Thanksgiving Prayer should be played in every house every Thanksgiving

9:31am listener james from westwood:

Uncle Bill speaketh truth.

9:31am Davee:

@Adam: and Alice's Restaurant

♥ 9:31am Webhamster Henry:

Featruring Needle drop music from the NBC radio library, IIRC.

♥ 9:31am NotARealDoctor:

I had a book of Burroughs' once, my grandmother took it from me.

9:32am wittsend:

his psychiatrist came to my house one time.

♥ 9:33am Rob (Jerzcity):

so much 'Under the Skin' in this right now

♥ 9:33am Rob (Jerzcity):

and a little Curb Your Enthusiasm maybe?

9:34am Davee:

In a rubber forest do the trees bounce back after a hurricane?

9:34am Another NJ person with WFMU playing while working:

Thankful for the soundtrack, better than play list stations

9:37am Davee:

I listen to WFMU while I am working and find it annoying when someone comes along and interrupts the programing.

♥ 9:37am Ken From Hyde Park:

Are there any songs recorded where the singer has inhaled helium? Would they sound about like Tiny Tim?

♥ 9:39am NotARealDoctor:

I'd think they'd sound more like chipmunks.

♥ 9:39am Planet Tyler:

To mourn the end of net neutrality i bought a bunch of records from the wfmu store. Still depressed tho'

♥ 9:39am Webhamster Henry:

Judy Dunaway recently had a show at Harvestworks.

♥ 9:39am Sem Chumbo:

I stayed in the Tangier Hotel where Burroughs wrote a lot of Naked Lunch. The manager had been there since the Fifties. He told me Burroughs was a quiet man. I stopped short of saying anything about morphine...

♥ 9:40am Lixiviated Life:

Station Manager Ken. I always love your show but, I rebel against your status as "Station Manager". I know, I know, It's a paradox. Its cognitive dissonance. Sure. It's all those things. But... I just want to say I love your show (and up yours fascist manager man). sigh

♥ 9:40am NotARealDoctor:

@Ken FHP, I once saw a video of a boys choir singing and at the end, one of the boys inhales a helium balloon to hit the incredibly high note on the "AMEN" at the end.

9:41am Morphe:

I was reading Helter Skelter at the age of 12 and Billy Kiernan's mother (our Cub Scout Den Leader) took it from me, kicked me out the Den and told my mother and the school...I had to get a second copy and read it on the DL and then Peter Quinones turned me on to Sanders' The Family ... I made it out of Catholic school but never tried to get in the Boy Scouts

♥ 9:44am Sem:

Sweet, sweet Harry.

♥ 9:45am Webhamster Henry:

I wonder what the role of God is in the Popeye Universe. There certainly is a giant octopus!

9:45am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

And I support Ken Mugabe for another 37 years of station managing.

♥ 9:46am Planet Tyler:

Faster Turkeys, Kill! Kill!

9:48am Davee:

Dave Van Ronk! Good choice.

9:50am Aaron Working In Newark:

I hope this dude says my town.

9:50am Davee:

Yeah, I'm waiting too.

9:51am Aaron Working In Newark:

Nope. Just like watching the magic mirror portion of romper Room.

9:52am Davee:

I see Davee, Aaron . . . .

9:52am misterpickles69:

Good NJ. Home sweet home!

9:52am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

I just googled Alvarius B and to my surprise it turns out he is or was the singer from Sun City Girls!

Now, if you excuse me, I'll google Sun City Girls because I never heard of them.

9:52am Linda Lee:

god bless the holy modal rounders. good morning Ken!

♥ 9:53am Webhamster Henry:

Hey Stampfel and Shelley Hirsch's new record is great! Dan Bodah played a cut from it on Vocal Fry.

♥ 9:54am Uncle Michael:

I love Mull Of Kintyre...so screw youse all.

♥ 9:54am Dominick:

Agreed UM. Exactly what I needed this morning

♥ 9:54am Lixiviated Life:

Paul, the cutest Beatle.
Typical managerial choice.

9:55am misterpickles69:

Paul McCartney is good in my book - It's just too bad he died in 1966

9:55am People Like Us:

me and Ergo covered Mull of Kintyre

9:55am misterpickles69:

♥ 9:56am Uncle Michael:

I would like to hear that, PLU.

9:56am People Like Us:

here it is ubu.com...

♥ 9:56am Uncle Michael:

thank you

♥ 9:56am northguineahills:

Ken must now play Vicki and Phizmiz's "Mull of Kintyre", we demand it!

9:57am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

It seems everybody -and Ken- missed to spot the white elephant in the room in the previous balloon set (i.e. Nina's 99 Red Balloons in German).

9:57am Brendan:

Great Mulligan Tire.

♥ 9:58am Uncle Michael:

It was gonna be a big Fleetwood Mac day in the kitchen but it might turn out to be a big Macca day.

9:58am blee:

HAIL SATAN!

9:58am Wild Neil:

Rockaway Sales in Newton NJ had weird stuff like Greek pressings of Bowie albums...shoulda bought it back in the 80's....

9:58am Okasa:

I look upon most conspiracies as crackpot, but I really and truly feel that any Paul after '66 isn't the real Paul.

♥ 9:58am Uncle Michael:

Will the piper set include IALWTTTIYWRAR?

9:59am Cecile:

Low Rider might be my favorite song ever. They completely miss the mark here. And I love bagpipes.

♥ 10:00am Webhamster Henry:

What cha got for Charles Manson today? You got a little buzz from the billboard I see.

10:00am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Any record by People Like Us and Ergo Phizmiz rightly deserves a Deluxe Edition. And let me again emphazise the word 'rightly' while looking at you, Popeye!

♥ 10:01am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Morning all. URIs to the huge, animated, images I missed?

Oh, and much as I hate the gratuitous bagpipes at the end ruining a bit of stupid perfection, I can't bring myself to fault how any man or woman mourns their dead grow-op.

♥ 10:01am MD:

THE PIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!WE HAVE A PIPER DOWN!! WE HAVE A PIPER DOWN!! no he's only pissed!!

10:04am Cecile:

Saor Patrol always bring it.

10:04am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

I think the WFMU Billboard is somehow cursed. It is a matter of time before Bieber or Rhianna are taken out this mortal coil.

10:04am Linda Lee:

that would mean the billboard *is* the curse ..

10:05am Brendan:

Pipe down . Its too early for the pipes.

10:05am Aaron Working In Newark:

WHATS GOING ON???!!!

10:05am Davee:

Are those tests really necessary?

10:05am Cecile:

If that billboard sped up his demise, great.

10:05am Liam in Denmark:

I've been waiting for that sweet sound all day, thanks Ken and the emergency alert system for playing something nice.

♥ 10:06am AnAnonymousParty:

That was more like a quiz.

10:06am Cecile:

It's "shore". Not that hard.

10:07am dei xhrist:

O how I have missed you Ken. Because it is wacky high absentee wednesday, I'm tuning in for the first time in years.

10:08am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Welcome back, dei xhrist!

10:08am Brendan:

Hump day + getaway day = Hump & Run Day . No time for cuddling .

♥ 10:09am Passaic River Blues:

Favorite reference to Piscataway in song is in Fat Joe's "Flow Joe":

I can kick it this way, I can kick it thattaway,
I kick a funky style, from New York to Piscataway.

That is all.

10:10am Sam:

It's a good hump day for some huumpa music

10:10am McGreivey:

I want to learn bagpipe so I can start a bagpipe Fugs cover band. Chicks dig that spit. Also, if you have enough bagpipers, you can vanquish any enemy with sonic power.

♥ 10:10am Lixiviated Life:

The last time the Passaic River was blue was when I was a kid and the dye houses in Paterson would dump their sludge in the river.

♥ 10:11am Lixiviated Life:

and yes, it was a no doubt a managers decision.

10:11am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Am I the only one that finds the Rockaby Baby's Nirvana cover song the most threatening and foreshadowing evil tune ever ?

10:12am Brendan:

Please tell me you have the B side of the original.

10:12am misterpickles69:

If it's not Scottish, it's crap!

♥ 10:12am Michele:

This song has my name in it!

10:13am Linda Lee:

& a pretty name it is, too, Michele. :-)

♥ 10:13am The Oscar:

Has anyone ever done a more faithful translation of Brel's original version of this? Where it's mostly just snide putdowns of his wife and loved ones?

♥ 10:13am melinda:

I like this version better.

♥ 10:14am Michele:

Thanks @Linda Lee :)

10:14am Liam in Denmark:

Classic Bowie - love it, Ken

♥ 10:14am melinda:

pug, pug!

♥ 10:15am Lixiviated Life:

Station Manager Ken! You got youre own Bowie Song!

♥ 10:15am Roberto:

Why is Pathetic Little Fat Man never on the playlist? I would really like to favorite it.

10:15am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Wait...wait..wait...Is this song from Jacques Brel as well?!!? And wait again...Did this translation also manages to savage its original meaning?!?!?!

10:15am misterpickles69:

FREEBIRD!

10:16am Liam in Denmark:

@ Fº¹Fº¹ it's from 'Extras' and the song is about Ricky Gervis

♥ 10:16am Roberto:

Ah, there it is! Nice!

♥ 10:16am Passaic River Blues:

And the dye floated southerly, over the Dundee Dam and Rutherford Reach, and wended its way to the bend along the Newark shore, where it was happily joined by piles of lead, Agent Orange effluent, and dioxin.

10:17am Davee:

Man, that is amazing, that cat never gets tired just keeps jumping and jumping!

10:17am Linda Lee:

cats are amazing that way.

10:17am Linda Lee:

take a hike, Joey.

♥ 10:17am Webhamster Henry:

"The breakfast garbage they throw out in Troy, the eat at lunch in Perth Amboy" -- Tom Lehrer's east coast version of Pollution.

10:18am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Liam in Denmark,

Oh, no, I was referring to the Seasons in the Sun because that's the song -I think- The Oscar was referring to.

♥ 10:18am The Oscar:

@ Fº¹Fº¹ Pretty massively so: genius.com...

♥ 10:18am melinda:

Is that GIF from Freaky Friday?

♥ 10:21am Listener Robert:

Recognize the Caress soap ad reference in that Firesign?

♥ 10:22am The Oscar:

Firesign!!!

10:22am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

The Oscar,

Oh, my. DIdn't know that. So basically Brel is famous in the anglosaxon world only because his songs received a Walt Disney treatment.

♥ 10:22am AnAnonymousParty:

You need to set a pan under the radio when listening to FT to catch all the references.

♥ 10:23am Sem:

Unsung later Firesign. Trippy, dedicated to Borges, among others.

♥ 10:23am The Oscar:

Man, I forgot how great this one was. I need to revisit my Firesign records.

♥ 10:23am Sem:

Woodrow Stool.

10:24am Linda Lee:

Firesign is just brilliant.

10:24am Davee:

Smells like dead cat in here

♥ 10:25am Sem:

Doesn't he wear eye makeup?

10:25am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

This track reminds of Irwin's show.

♥ 10:25am AnAnonymousParty:

This is like a distillation of daytime soaps from the 70s.

♥ 10:26am Webhamster Henry:

I played Don't crush that Dwarf, hand me the Pliers the other day!

♥ 10:26am Sem:

...on mescaline @ AnAnon.

10:26am Davee:

What happened to Mandy, Sandy and Candy?

♥ 10:27am Lixiviated Life:

@Passaic River Blues It would start in Bunker Hill then turn the bend in Riverside. Flow over the old indian bridge between Paterson and Fairlawn before it headed down to Clifton / Passaic.

10:28am Linda Lee:

where's the "hide" option on GIFs? cannot watch that cat jump.

10:28am Linda Lee:

the fat one.

♥ 10:28am Lixiviated Life:

Station Manager Ken is going the extra mile.

10:29am Brendan:

Thanksgiving crosstalk .why its okay to wear earbuds to the family table

10:30am Davee:

Yeah, cats do not fly very well.

10:30am Morphe:

Lixivated: Is that an actual/possible river walk?? Serious!
Bunker Hill then turn the bend in Riverside. Flow over the old indian bridge between Paterson and Fairlawn before it headed down to Clifton / Passaic

10:31am SheWolf:

I'm late in responding but, the correct pronunciation is MoonAHkee.

10:32am Davee:

loving the bass in this tune

10:37am Brendan:

If any holiday needs more funk, its this one.

♥ 10:37am Vivian:

Smith N Hack remind me of LCD Soundsystem.

♥ 10:38am Lixiviated Life:

@Morphe Anything is possible, the key questions is "What is the probability"
While I have actually walked the banks of the Passaic as described, I would not suggest it for others. It is neither scenic nor is it easily traversed. In short, Yes it's possible, but the probability is extremely low.

♥ 10:40am TonyR:

@linda lee
Unnerving, yes, but that Nirvana cat rules.

♥ 10:42am TonyR:

Last week, Ken put up a GIF of some kind of nuclear holocaust which would not stay cache. Reloaded over and over and over - every time a new song came up.

♥ 10:43am northguineahills:

ack, missed Smith N Hack when the internet went out at work!

10:43am Linda Lee:

@TonyR ~ absolutely re Nirvana cat. they are just amazing creatures all around. hunting machines!

Did Station Manager Ken ever fix his computer problems last week?

♥ 10:44am Lixiviated Life:

Curse of The Satanic WMFU Billboard ! (no doubt)

10:45am Paul In Bloomfield:

Your billboard killed them!

10:45am Linda Lee:

PLZ take down the Wake & Bake billboard STAT, Ken.

Don't tease, Ken.

Sedona... that sounds made up.

10:47am Linda Lee:

Ken. PLZ. Beg you. Take down the Wake & Bake billboard. I couldn't bear to lose Clay.

♥ 10:47am Ken From Hyde Park:

Well, at least Aretha Franklin survives, for now.

10:47am Aaron Working In Newark:

thanks Ken you just had me furiously googling!

♥ 10:47am coelacanth∅:

happy about bieber and rhianna; but i'll really get behind your billboards if you put trump,pence, and the entire bush regime-present,past & future on one. (you can put putin on there too)

10:47am zopa:

The ever witty Norm MacDonald: "My prayers go out to Charles Manson and his family in this time of pain."

please put trump on the next billboard if that is the case

Y'all need to string big red and white balls over the billboard to warn passing aircraft.

Did anyone have Manson in the last SSD deadpool episode?

♥ 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park:

The Dirty Clown for Dusty episode, please.

10:51am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Run a bad Seven Second Delay show. Ju$t $aying.

10:51am Linda Lee:

Manson was a patsy.

10:52am LCBD:

Yay for the Dusty Show tonight!

♥ 10:52am Sebastian:

Ken: if it has to be a rerun for 7SD, can you play the show from UCB where you got drunk on stage - for some odd reason that one is not available in the archives

♥ 10:52am crateslinger:

Manson's death affects me the same as Bowie's, Prince's, and Lemmy's.... that is to say, not at all.

♥ 10:52am Listener Robert:

First you (Andy really, but in your presence) "called" (vaguely) 9/11, then the death of Monty Hall, now the death of C. Manson. It's spooky, I tell ya.

10:52am Vincent Nifigance:

What, there's a Dusty show tonight?

10:53am wfmu listener phillip:

for seven second delay episode where ken was so drunk he had to go to the hosp with alcohol poisoning.

♥ 10:53am coelacanth∅:

manson wasn't that entertaining anymore, so i don't really care one way or the other.

♥ 10:54am doctorjazz:

Live RT, been hearing this on FMU recently; RT will always get me on the comment board, a favorite. (the Billboard struck me as well; powerful Mojo there at FMU!)

♥ 10:54am TonyR:

Hide Charles Manson's remains in Jersey City?

10:56am wfmu listener phillip:

i heard the epsiode where ken got so drunk on seven second delay i could not stop laughing or listening...sorry ken

♥ 10:56am Listener Robert:

That's Dusty on the guitar bass GIF, right?

10:57am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Sebastian,

That 'odd reason' is nothing more than Ken's self preservation. It's the equivalent of Andy Breckman deleting all his sexist, child molestation jokes and references from the SSD archives.

♥ 11:01am doctorjazz:

Live Television! Great stuff (saw them a few months ago, no Richard Lloyd but still great set).

11:01am blee:

Play Clay's "That Dirty Clown." I live that dang rock opera.

11:02am blee:

Love not live. Damn it all

11:03am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

The guitar playing in this live Television song is out of this world.

♥ 11:09am crateslinger:

Where does this music come from?

♥ 11:09am mb:

Was not going to make the trek to see the billboard but the X's in Manson's eyes was so hilarious that it is now a must do.

11:10am mary:

omg that Television, hendrix talking, playing that Izabella

♥ 11:11am steveo:

hey this Hendrix fellow can play!

♥ 11:11am northguineahills:

yeah, i think he might be going places!

♥ 11:12am dstimpf:

I thought that the x's on Manson's eyes were photo-shopped in for a picture. I would really like to know if someone really did that; that would be amazing.

♥ 11:12am steveo:

that's some polite freaking applause though

♥ 11:13am mb:

Yeah was just about to ask you jokers if those X's were real, on second thought.

what'd he say? hippies are passive or something like that?

♥ 11:14am The Oscar:

@steveo My big takeaway was "Blah blah, woof woof."

♥ 11:15am The Oscar:

(To clarify, I mean when Jimi said that, not to be dismissive toward Jimi)

♥ 11:15am TonyR:

One of Alice's last great songs. Thx!!

♥ 11:16am crateslinger:

Yeah Hendrix called hippies passive. Probably not an insult...

♥ 11:16am steveo:

felder on the bones?

♥ 11:17am The Oscar:

FELDERRRRRRRR

♥ 11:17am northguineahills:

Oh, it's Ken's favorite song!

♥ 11:17am Lixiviated Life:

Ken, When the hell are you gonna play The Dead Daisies ? Been waiting since the start of the show (wait... did I miss it?)

♥ 11:18am Sebastian:

Don Felder, God of Music

♥ 11:18am NotARealDoctor:

To be fair, Heavy Metal was a pretty good movie.

♥ 11:18am crateslinger:

I guess the Ken Show ban of Felder doesn't extend to his composition?

♥ 11:19am crateslinger:

The South Park parody was better.

♥ 11:20am The Oscar:

I also spent about half of Jimi's intro thinking he was talking about an actual cat.

♥ 11:20am steveo:

interesting!

♥ 11:20am Lixiviated Life:

F'ing hippies. damn them all to hell

♥ 11:21am northguineahills:

Like when I used to dj in Brooklyn, I tried Merzbow, no one left. I tried John Cage, no one left. I put on Mariah Carey, everyone left.

♥ 11:22am PMD:

I want nothing to do.
Happy Thanksgiving!

♥ 11:22am Lixiviated Life:

Self flagellation
Typical managerial decision

♥ 11:24am Asheville Jon:

who/what video is the gif for that crazy bass player (andrews sisters/thurl ravenscroft song on playlist)

♥ 11:31am Asheville Jon:

damn, i killed the comments board. :(

11:32am Creeping Digitalis:

Ken, I want to hear that clip of that man telling his daughter that Britany Spears’ head is full of plastic.

♥ 11:32am steveo:

that britney is my 2nd favorite pop song after zion ship...

11:33am Creeping Digitalis:

@northguineahills EBN knew the room clearing power of Mariah

♥ 11:34am NotARealDoctor:

@Steveo, it's the only Britney song I like. @Asheville Jon, I tried real hard but cannot find a source for that GIF.

11:36am muse:

Some real music snuck in there for a second.

11:36am MenfussMike:

is that an image of the legend D. Ray White in the Buttress slot?

♥ 11:37am Asheville Jon:

thanks notarealdoctor

♥ 11:37am -Ken:

@Muse, isn't it weird how that happens from time to time?

♥ 11:39am NotARealDoctor:

I will try harder next time.

♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park:

Is there time to drop in some Shatner before time runs out?

11:41am Creeping Digitalis:

like one of those ultrasonic plugin pest repellers

11:42am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

northguineahills,

Your DJ experience proves my theory that states that Mariah Carey's music has the same repellent properties as the toxic clouds coming out of Chernobyl nuclear plants. So Ken, now you know, don't forget to Hazmat report whenever a DJ plays Mariah Carey on the disco.

♥ 11:43am Beast of Boonton:

Remember - 'March of the Wooden Soldiers' is on TV tomorrow

♥ 11:44am (((Murakami Whywolf):

What's that song/recitative that ends with a triumphant `I'm not afraid!'?

♥ 11:44am Lixiviated Life:

@Beast of Boonton "and you can hear Jack say..."

11:44am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

I felt embarrassed when I recognised Muse being played in here. I once believed in the hype. But it is human to err, right?

♥ 11:46am northguineahills:

haha, Creeping Digitalis y fofo!

♥ 11:47am doctorjazz:

Did I miss Felder, damn...

11:48am miles:

first guy to say ice beer!

11:49am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

(((Murakami Whywolf),

...song/recitative that ends with a triumphant `I'm not afraid!'?

Would it be the Laurice song? I recall him singing about he is afraid in one song Ken played few days ago. Alas I don't remember the end of the song. But if someone finishes his/her song probably means the weren't that afraid.

♥ 11:50am Sebastian:

@Asheville Jon found it! Man is the Bastard, 1997:
www.youtube.com...

♥ 11:52am Carmichael:

Heya Kenneth. No Manson or David Cassidy? For shame ...

♥ 11:52am Asheville Jon:

sweet sebastian, thanks! how on earth did you find that? the kids will love seeing that!

♥ 11:53am Sem:

Shatner channelling Hawkwind, that's something.
But not Charlie.

♥ 11:53am Mutant:

Who would be Shatner's Stacia?

♥ 11:53am Listening Out There:

Guitar on Silver Machine sounds sorta like Adrian Belew...

11:54am Ted:

Wonder if Bob Calvert ever heard this version??

♥ 11:54am Sebastian:

I used the internet

11:54am Okasa:

How obscure... Man is the Bastard from 1997. Sebastian wins the playlist today.

11:55am Honeybear:

William's always so much better when he just lets himself... be William

♥ 11:55am Asheville Jon:

no doubt okasa.

♥ 11:55am Asheville Jon:

ISM, what a band.

♥ 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park:

Wow, thank you for Shatner and the rest of the show! Maybe if he donned his Captain Kirk uniform and talked to the president guy, he could stop this net neutrality nonsense.

11:56am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Carmichael,

Not only that but also no AC/DC whatsoever! I have no doubt Ken will have problem sleeping when the spirits of the deceased pay him a visit tonight.

11:56am ratty:

phew

♥ 11:57am Asheville Jon:

ISM, diet for the worms one of my most treasured albums, and what a cover pic!

♥ 11:57am Sebastian:

Merci, Ken!

♥ 11:57am Carmichael:

OK, this is a bit of penance. Just a bit ...

♥ 11:57am Passaic River Blues:

Be well this holiday, Ken!

♥ 11:58am crateslinger:

Man the Bastard at Gilman's in 97. I thought they closed that place in like '89 after they found a baby in the ceiling. Something like that. Idk

♥ 11:58am coelacanth∅:

that ism album cover almost made me not buy it, back in the day.

♥ 11:59am Listening Out There:

Go Eat Dead Birds...

11:59am Fº¹Fº¹ (:

Thanks, Ken, people! Weirdenful show and comments as usual! Have a great rest of the week. Till next episode and remember to be happy. YES! IT IS AN ORDER!! BE HAPPY!

11:59am Dean:

Heck, no. Gilman is still there. I drive/walk by it just about every day.

11:59am rbx:

Thanks for the show Ken - Happy Holidays!

♥ 12:00pm coelacanth∅:

rest in peace David Cassidy. rest in piss donald trump.

♥ 12:01pm crateslinger:

Wow, thanks Dean. Am I right about some baby controversy like 30 years ago?

12:01pm bobo:

Hello! Sorry again for being a bit late. Could you please play a David Cassidy song?
