Wed. 4/16/08 9:10am Ken:

Wow, excellent Katzenjammer Kids reference, Parq! My Dad's favorite comic strip!

Wed. 4/16/08 9:13am Ken:

Hey, let's try this: submit a link for audio or video here, and I will devote the last half hour of today's show to the links you post here in the comments section. As long as the link you submit works, streams (no downloads!) and is FCC-friendly, I'll play it as long as I can fit it in. But here are a few ground rules: 1) don't submit links to your own band or music; 2) submit short segments (a few minutes); 3) keep them clean and non-yucky 4) one suggestion per person, 5) make sure they stream well!

Wed. 4/16/08 9:16am PMD:

I don't know how to snip them shorter... So I'm ineligible?

Oh. Well, downloads stream if you have an audio player rigged up with the browser, set to play, so..

Wed. 4/16/08 9:28am Michaell:

Even before I saw that Duke of Uke submission super, I immediately thought of this artist:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m4DDkMfol0
this is her ukulele version of Jonathan Coulton's "Tom Cruse Crazy"; I was considering her attempts (finally successful) at the same artist's "Mr Fancy Pants"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m4DDkMfol0
but I was concerned they might annoy too many people.

David Peel? The world's best anti-drug argument.

Wed. 4/16/08 9:29am John from Oslo:

Oh, I changed my mind - forget about the Finnish and Norwegian stuff.

Does Olive & Rooster approve of the Guide Dog Glee Club?

Wed. 4/16/08 9:44am Michael:

Bonzo Dog doing "Equestrian Statue" (3:45) and "Little Sir Echo" (2:15)---you might want to just play the first, which includes some good Vivian Stanshall patter, and the second is largely a visual joke:

Wed. 4/16/08 9:46am Cribley:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjKlFFp4-IE

This promotional short for Irving Mills' short-lived Master and Variety labels not only gives us a glimpse of Ellington and his band in the actual Master/Variety studios (as opposed to a soundstage set), but is one of the very few film accounts of how records were recorded, plated and pressed in the long-ago age of analog, shellac and 78 rpm. Narration is provided by pioneer radio announcer Alois Havrilla.

(there are trainwhistles)

Dickdong - Methinks that Tomas is referring to the pics on today's playlist but I could be wrong.

Wed. 4/16/08 10:38am St.Even:

hell yes tlc!!!

Wed. 4/16/08 10:39am eerie:

I must say, I had quite a scare when I turned on the radio and discovered that between the eternal static was a kid singing about Xenu. What the hell song was that? How It All Began? Creepiest shit ever.

Wed. 4/16/08 10:40am Laurie:

I need this "Original Cold Scrubs" song. Please tell me where I can get it. THANK YOU.

Wed. 4/16/08 10:43am montreal:

Ken, if you're not to immersed in suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous Tomas, can you give us an update on the TaTu movie? Gotta make sure my sked is clear.

Message from Xenu - SCIENTOLOGY ROCK!

Wed. 4/16/08 11:02am slugluv1313:

thanks for the BARRA BARRA Ken . . . i am home from work to-day; don't have a computer at work so i don't get to hear yer show that often(in real time, at least) and certainly don't get to hear Rachid Taha at 10:45am -- YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

who is Philip Seymour Hoffman? i am *girl* but i guess i just don't understand . . . i know i could do a search but i think it would be an interesting experiment to have it explained to me BEFORE i do the search . . .

Wed. 4/16/08 11:04am slugluv1313:

Wed. 4/16/08 11:13am Bad Ronald:

Dirtbombs yeah!

Wed. 4/16/08 11:18am (mta) Tony:

In keeping with today's theme, I think it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to play Zappa's "Catholic Girls" from "Joe's Garage," or even more appropriate, from his "You Are What You Is," the suite of songs from "The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing" to "Heavenly Bank Account." All quite religiously appropriate, I think, Ken. Can I get any "yeas" from other listeners? If so, maybe Ken will get out of "the seat."

Wed. 4/16/08 11:19am Rococo Pagoda:

That's Steve Hillage

Wed. 4/16/08 11:20am Listener Dave:

Tony - I'll give that idea an "amen", except I think it violates the "not getting up for the reqeust" rule.

Plus I'm not sure if Ken is pro or anti-Zappa. We know how he feels about Rush, however.

Wed. 4/16/08 11:20am Ken:

Yes, thanks Rococo! I was too busy feeling bitter and clinging to my firearms to bring it up.

Wed. 4/16/08 11:21am I meant:

re: Rachid Taha

Wed. 4/16/08 11:21am slugluv1313:

Steve Hillage = guy from GONG

*now* i remember who Philip Seymour Hoffman is: guy who portrayed Truman Capote (DUH)

Wed. 4/16/08 11:22am Laurie:

I'm a horrible listener/commenter. I keep changing my mind about what I want to hear. I want to post a link to those Argentinean kids playing Iron Maiden, but I will refrain because I've already changed my mind twice.

Wed. 4/16/08 11:22am Ghengis Jung:

The other guy in Gong is named Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Wed. 4/16/08 11:24am dei xhrist:

wow hey photos! I am totally blowing off work now. especially since my very name fits the theme. "The rapture!!!" brings to mind a bit in Love & Rockets - a comment that Jesus gets all the pretty girls. And favorite PSH line is "don't touch that. thank you. yes, thank you.) from Big Lebowski.

Wed. 4/16/08 11:24am Rococo Pagoda:

When I feel bitter, I cling to Xenu and Laser Guns.

Zappa is off the table, due to the fact that all FMU Zappa discs are stored in a locked shed out back by the parking lot. Not something that I personally approve of, but Ken's the station manager, not me.

Wed. 4/16/08 11:27am Laurie:

I changed my mind about refraining. Please disregard all of my choices except for these kids doing Iron Maiden:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=s_4aGXTHo7w

Or, alternately, you can ignore all of my choices because I am indecisive and making your job hard. Er. Harder.
