Hello Sweden! I'm going to be there next week. Seriously.

Not for the Pride stuff though. My wife and I just happen to be in town at the same time. Should be interesting, no?

Wed. 7/23/08 9:15am From: Tom in Dublin

People own servals as pets now? Have I slept a thousand years? Hail Futurelings!

Wed. 7/23/08 9:16am From: Vicki

I think it's just a very small lady that the serval keeps as an owner

Wed. 7/23/08 9:17am From: John from Oslo

I am in love with Vicki and my wife. I really liked the Bags of Money too.

Wed. 7/23/08 9:24am From: dei x

Wed. 7/23/08 9:24am From: Vicki

Wed. 7/23/08 9:25am From: Doug

Wed. 7/23/08 9:28am From: Vivian

Morning Ken!

Darn, I thought I was going to hear Carla butcher Carly Simon's song 'You Belong to Me'.

Wed. 7/23/08 9:29am From: Irwin Chusid

Well, at least she decided to loop the BEST verse. The others are afterthoughts.

Wed. 7/23/08 9:30am From: John from Oslo

Inspector Jacques Clouseau:"Tell me, do you have a rheum?"
German hotelier: "I do not know what a 'rheum' is."
Inspector Clouseau: [Consulting a phrase-book] "Zimmer!"
German hotelier: "Ah! A 'room'!"
Inspector Clouseau:"That's what I've been saying, you idiot..."rheum"..."zimmer"..."

Wed. 7/23/08 9:30am From: C

I wish Hillary had put out an album in the 90's

Wed. 7/23/08 9:30am From: john

that carla bruni song was TOO SHORT

Wed. 7/23/08 9:31am From: monica

re: madame sarkozy, my guess is that she keeps repeating that one verse ovah and ovah because "the pyramids along the nile" is where her and the 'Koz first went public a coupla years back on that much publicized vacances, non?

Wed. 7/23/08 9:35am From: Dei x

This Up Je'Taime is fantastic if you imagine it's Alan Rickman.

Wed. 7/23/08 9:41am From: Vicki

I love Lio - she did that song "You Go To My Head" too, to the tune of some other well know tune that I forget what well anyway ok

Wed. 7/23/08 9:44am From: John from Oslo

French pop music. This is.. Well, hard to listen to...

Are you going to play "Joe le Taxi" by Jonny Depps' wife, Vanessa Paradis...

Wed. 7/23/08 9:46am From: Ken

Actually it's Belgian John. And Carla Bruni is Italian. And Satanicpornocultshop is British. But I get your point.

Wed. 7/23/08 9:49am From: John from Oslo

LOL my point exactly, the French cant make music

Wed. 7/23/08 9:52am From: Doug

Your last photo there reminded me of this great post at Language Log.

http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=367

Wed. 7/23/08 9:52am From: Torbjorn from Haugesund

I would just like to say that not all of Norway are so difficult when it comes to le musique la France, I quite enjoyed the "allez allez" track.
On the other hand, I actually got a copy of "Joe le Taxi", so maybe I'm biased.

Wed. 7/23/08 9:52am From: Lizardner Dave

In Social Chaos News, we had our first proper soccer riot here in the States this week thanks to some visiting British folks:

Wed. 7/23/08 10:00am From: bones

traktor. It's an electronic music-making program. very fun to play with.

Wed. 7/23/08 10:00am From: Negator

Bustin' a gut over here, Ken. King uh da yard will ruminate in my head for a long time!

Wed. 7/23/08 10:00am From: Ken

Wed. 7/23/08 10:02am From: Ken

Wed. 7/23/08 10:05am From: Ken

What about Django John? Metal Urbain? Johnny Halliday? Well, two out of three aint bad...

Wed. 7/23/08 10:07am From: LIzardner Dave

The Dow is down a bit but no bank failures are reported yet. Gas prices may actually drop a little so you and Andy may have missed the window to foment a gas riot.

Wed. 7/23/08 10:09am From: monica

That Bags of Money track reminds me of Lockup:Raw on MSNBC (way "Keithier" than Olbermann's midnight re-run). Last night was about how inmates pump iron, lift their beds and bags of toilet water, do chin-ups etc to get "prison cut" and "keep their weight up" while serving life sentences.

Wed. 7/23/08 10:12am From: Ken

Well if there are no bank runs today then I'll just have to supply my own...

Wed. 7/23/08 10:13am From: john

so is traktor 3.3 what folks are using to do all the mashups you solicit and play?

Wed. 7/23/08 10:14am From: Ken

No, Traktor 3.3 isn't used so much here - Trent and I use it. Ableton Live is used be a few people as is Serato.

Wed. 7/23/08 10:15am From: jhn

Wow, I need to pick up this new Wire album.

YES! A run on the Bailey's Savings and Loan!

Wed. 7/23/08 10:39am From: Brent

McCartney was just a typo away from "Bank on the Run"

Wed. 7/23/08 10:40am From: Steely Damn

Wed. 7/23/08 10:42am From: Mike

Listening to people talk like this guy is talking makes me embarassed to call myself an American. "Bags o' money up in this XXXXX?" (I'm hiding my head in shame.

Wed. 7/23/08 10:43am From: Ken

I keep waiting for The Christian Con Man to get re-released so I can get a copy of this insanity. I'd heard that it was going to get one a few years back when I first heard it on Incorrect Music and still haven't seen it happen.

Wed. 7/23/08 11:11am From: GP

Is this Bronson in his younger days?

Wed. 7/23/08 11:12am From: molerat

Sounds like a creepy Ken Nordine.

Wed. 7/23/08 11:12am From: Freddy

This Maui talk is disturbing me in a way no one has ever disturbed me. Thank you for this gift.

Wed. 7/23/08 11:13am From: Ghengis Jung

Does he kill her and eat her at the end? I can't watch!

Wed. 7/23/08 11:13am From: Freddy

I feel molested - in a good way.

Wed. 7/23/08 11:16am From: C

Is this the same guy (from Wikipedia):

Lee Edwards is a Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought at the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies at the Heritage Foundation. He is considered one of the foremost historians of the conservative movement in America, having published over a dozen books on the subject. His works also include biographies of President Ronald Reagan and Senator Barry Goldwater.

Wed. 7/23/08 11:22am From: dei x

It it if the B. Kenneth Simon CAS consists of 20 or less other people, and his publisher is one of those on-demand websites...

Wed. 7/23/08 11:23am From: d

GUH! "It is"

Wed. 7/23/08 11:33am From: Jeff M

That bad man talking about his Maui girl was really creepy. But you know what's even worse? When you transition with Kenny. It makes me feel all ooky. When you see him in the studio, don't get in his car. Run and tell an adult.

Wed. 7/23/08 11:36am From: jamesie

I was painting my dining room and the show made me ill. I have had to stop, I took two paracetamol and I hope I will feel better soon.I blame you entirely for this but I still love you
