Wed. 7/30/08 9:05am From: bb

Wed. 7/30/08 9:06am From: Bad Ronald

Morning folks!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:06am From: Ken

Morning all~!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:08am From: JJZ

Back to work.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:09am From: dave from knoxville

Morning Ken. I never normally get to listen at this time, so this is great.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:09am From: Bad Ronald

No up-skirts? Darn it!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:11am From: Lizardner Dave

Hello Ken. And Hello Sweden! I'll be seeing you tomorrow!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:12am From: merv

I need Malvina to start my day... she'll wake anyone up, and annoy others in the office as a bonus!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:12am From: Ken

No upskirts with cellphones, anyway. Use your SLR.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:13am From: Eric

Hey, cool Malvina Reynolds song.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:13am From: dei x

I will start wearing underpants with a photo of Nixon on the bottom. Or of Uncle Dirty. Give those blurry cell phone cameras something to text home about.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:15am From: Bad Ronald

Nixon would be capital!!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:16am From: Doug

Wow, that's a pretty convincing TTS voice.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:17am From: Hugh

R I P U Utah Phillips, you are really missed by the folkies

Wed. 7/30/08 9:18am From: Bad Ronald

Lennon would be proud...

Wed. 7/30/08 9:21am From: cribley

I think W played that at the last Bilderberg meeting.

Cheney laying on the piano...

Wed. 7/30/08 9:22am From: Blue Sausage Infant

Just tuned in, so this might be old news by now, but the Wax Audio material is here:

......great stuff

Wed. 7/30/08 9:27am From: Blue Sausage Infant

Holy jesus cheese, thank you for the NWW; I'm still waiting (eagerly) for my copy of Huffin' Rag Blues...

Wed. 7/30/08 9:32am From: Bad Ronald

Thanks for the WA URL BSI!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:32am From: swamo

Ooooh, a little western leader g on g action! Gooood morning!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:32am From: Negator

NWW caused my lions to inflame! Thanks, Ken!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:34am From: Negator

NWW caused my loins to inflame! Thanks, Ken!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:34am From: baby on mornin train

that nww killed. thanks!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:36am From: Ken

What's the name of that Ukrainian woman again?

Wed. 7/30/08 9:38am From: GUMBY

Why was that guy so worried that librarians are coming? They seem harmless enough to me.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:40am From: pfk

any opinions of metalocalypse? particularly dethklok

Wed. 7/30/08 9:42am From: weiterso

Wed. 7/30/08 9:42am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Thanks for Tom, now I know it will be a good day.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:43am From: Bad Ronald

Excellent Ramones cover by TW!!!!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:43am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

I guess you got the Priest I sent you on Facebook?

Wed. 7/30/08 9:43am From: dei x

oh Tom, may he have have good health and active recording for many decades more

Wed. 7/30/08 9:46am From: Ken

I dont check into Facebook much no 'mo. Not enough there there.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:49am From: Ike

Gosh, that never happened to me in China.

Facebook doesn't do it for me either, except for the Visual Bookshelf tool, where you can catalog, organize, and rate all the books you've read. Useful for me, as my memory is slipping.

Wed. 7/30/08 9:50am From: Swami

What?! sacrilege about Facebook! What is there not enough of Ken, Western Leader g on g action? What about Mob Wars!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:52am From: Ken

Precisely, Swami, I am looking for a social network that will provide me with real-time streaming video of Julija Tymoschenko and Queen Rania of Jordan playing Scrabulous. Is that asking so much?

Wed. 7/30/08 9:54am From: jhn

I wouldn't use facebook or myspace at all if if it weren't for the fact that my peers all expect to be able to contact me through it. it doesn't solve any problems except the one of "i have too much time" or "i get too much done in the day."

Wed. 7/30/08 9:54am From: Swami

Apparently yes. Way too much. I am convinced. Facebook is dead. Long live FAcebook!

Wed. 7/30/08 9:54am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Then where does Ken cyber-hang? Does he have Last.fm or Shelfari or some other thing?

Wed. 7/30/08 9:58am From: dei x

I have resisted all invitations to Facebook, as I already invested my time on MySpace. If I really wanted to post the videos, calendars, and scandal that MySpace frowns upon or does not support, I'd do it on a real URL. With no ads.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:00am From: Trent

play track 10 from NWW's Huffin Rag Blues, that's the best track.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:04am From: Doug

I love how she says "Mt. Hayp." Please have Vicki say "Mt. Hayp" again!

Wed. 7/30/08 10:04am From: Barney

benzene and benzine are different enough, but benzyne is an entirely different beastie!

Wed. 7/30/08 10:07am From: Vicki

Mt. Hayp

Wed. 7/30/08 10:07am From: Billy Jam

hey Ken, good show!...the SKYPE connection sounded real good and with a better mic would make it even cleaner in sound......PS I agree with you about Facebook and find MySpace (especially trying to send messages) even more annoying/pointless these days.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:08am From: Vicki

I even bought a headset, unfortunately no one told me that you need a usb one if you're in mac

Wed. 7/30/08 10:08am From: Ken`

Since getting booted off of Flickr, I dont cyber hang anywhere.. I'm saving myself for the Free Music Archive and then I'll be hanging there.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:11am From: Vicki

this is a good track (wrote that for people who look at the playlist after the show)

Wed. 7/30/08 10:12am From: Bad Ronald

I'm used to getting thrown out of physical clubs haven't been cyber-banned yet but here's still time for Ken to throw me off the playlist comments...

Wed. 7/30/08 10:12am From: Ken

Wouldn't it be nice if you could identify which track you were referring to! How would we do that?

Wed. 7/30/08 10:13am From: Laurie

Hiiiiiiiii Ken.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:13am From: Bad Ronald

title reference?

Wed. 7/30/08 10:13am From: dei x

you can't just show up on open comment boards with a handle like "bad ronald" without some basis in reality

Wed. 7/30/08 10:13am From: John from Oslo

Skype is impressive! No time lag to speak of either.

Benzin is petrol (gasoline) I guess.

Nice show!

Wed. 7/30/08 10:14am From: JJZ

You have ot do the math with the approximate time things start after the fact with the clickable songs.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:14am From: Swami

This track rocks also.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:15am From: Vicki

I guess the comments need time stamping from 0-3 hours rather than 9am-12pm?

Wed. 7/30/08 10:15am From: Doug

Thanks Vicki! Dreamy.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:18am From: JJZ

Ideally there would be a magic button that would intersperse the comments with the songs, but I wouldn't want to have to be the guy to create it.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:22am From: Lizardner Dave

The time stamping is fne. Just tell people to subtract 9. Hey Americans have to remember to subtract 12 when we travel abroad.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:23am From: JJZ

Ultimately the easiest answer is to say "Golly, I like this Z-Trip song."

Wed. 7/30/08 10:23am From: Vicki

can anyone recommend the best skype headset to buy?

Wed. 7/30/08 10:24am From: Ike

Another problem: the streams, particularly the AAC+, are a few minutes behind the FM broadcast. So, when checking archives, even if you do the math, you can't be sure precisely which track someone is commenting on. So, I'm with JJZ.

This track by Johnny Boy is good.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:25am From: jcityfightstyle + dlroth

uh-oh blowfly got up this am!

Wed. 7/30/08 10:25am From: Negator

Can't wait for the FMA, as well, hope to be donating music , too. Ken, quick edit! Ha! Ha! Laugh! Laugh!

Wed. 7/30/08 10:26am From: Vicki

my uk stream is one minute behind - it makes it difficult to do a live playlist here for my show! it's all out.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:28am From: sebastian in santiago

just to say hi and to annoy people trying to read the comments column with yet another auto-update.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:31am From: Ken

Hi Sebastian! How are things in the southern hemi?

Wed. 7/30/08 10:31am From: Laurie

Is this the Swedish Chef doing Prince?

Wed. 7/30/08 10:33am From: lars

Halloooooo Sveden!!!!

Wed. 7/30/08 10:33am From: Jeff M

Bork bork bork in the purple rain?

Wed. 7/30/08 10:34am From: yesno

Hey Laurie, your internet stalker asked me to fill in for him by stalking your accuplaylist comments, just a heads up.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:35am From: Ken from Hyde Park

The George Bush song earlier had me laughing heartily while I was driving around. At work now and I may go to the web site to look for more stuff like that.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:35am From: sebastian in santiago

cold, smoggy and gray. damnit.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:37am From: Bad Ronald

Ken from HP - Blue Sausage Infant posted the URL above for Wax Audio.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:37am From: JJZ

Speaking of the Swedish Chef, those muppet youtube videos are all pretty good. http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2008/07/muppets-storm-y.html has links to them all. They do versions of classical music mostly.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:42am From: Karen in Sleepy Hollow

Mmmm, cookies

Wed. 7/30/08 10:44am From: Vivian

I actually attempted vegan scotcharoos. However, people were intrigued with what constitutes a scotcharoo, not so much that they were vegan. That's my story for this morning.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:47am From: Bad Ronald

Woofers!

Wed. 7/30/08 10:49am From: Mark

this is driving my dog crazy

Wed. 7/30/08 10:49am From: Laurie

Poor doggies. :(

Loop Dogg!

Ahh...

scotcheroo

Wed. 7/30/08 10:55am From: jcityJensen

Am I getting through to you, Mr. Ken? You get up on your little twenty-one inch woofers and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only W, and F, and M, and U, Jersey, Union Carbide, and City.

Wed. 7/30/08 10:57am From: Lizardner Dave

Hello Larry. Keep doing a good show.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:01am From: Effcee Sea

This track offends ...

Wed. 7/30/08 11:02am From: cat

was ist ein schotcheroo..?

Wed. 7/30/08 11:04am From: jcityJensen

All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I must ask you, Mr. ken, is to let the ROTH preach this evangel.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:08am From: -max-

Late morning, Outlook keeps crashing, forced to install yet another WXP Service Pack, phone keeps ringing, employees interrupting my enjoyment of Ken's show, asking me to help them with their melons...
I wish I were home.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:13am From: adam

where did you see the black bear, ken?

Wed. 7/30/08 11:13am From: jcityJensen

The bear WILL ATONE!

Wed. 7/30/08 11:14am From: Ken

I saw my 4th black bear of 2008 in Walpack, New Jersey. But that's not the bear pictured here. My pic is not worth posting, all I had with me at the time was my celphone.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:15am From: Bad Ronald

Who needs help with their melons?

Wed. 7/30/08 11:16am From: JJZ

Golly, I have a fondness for the Puffy Remix album.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:17am From: adam

I befriended a wise old grey rabbit in my neighborhood this year.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:20am From: Drew

Puffy is quality.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:21am From: Blue Sausage Infant

Puffy is making it hard to work with all this booty-shaking. Everywhere, bunny-rabbits vomiting rainbows of rancid splendor...

Wed. 7/30/08 11:25am From: Lizardner Dave

This set is everything that is good and right about Ken's show.

If Zatumba, a train whistle and David Lee Roth got involved it would be perfect.

The signal is strong.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:27am From: barney

cool james sounds somehow different.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:28am From: TTTTTT

Interesting bear photo sequence..

Anyone know if it's going to all that effort just for some birdseed? Must be very hungry in that case. No berries or fish around? Or maybe it's a delicacy, like snapping turtle eggs are to raccoons. Or maybe it's just fun jungle gym sorta action.

Hmm.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:29am From: Ken

Yep, black bears go after bird feeders all the time.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:30am From: cribley

could be a bees nest in the birdhouse. they loves the honeys.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:34am From: cat

is this how YOU make them ?

SCOTCHAROO'S

1 c. sugar
1 c. peanut butter
6 oz. chocolate morsels
1 c. white syrup
6 c. Rice Krispies
6 oz. butterscotch morsels

Combine sugar and syrup in saucepan. Bring to boil while stirring. Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Stir well. Add to Rice Krispies in large bowl. Mix well. Spread mix evenly in a buttered 4 x 9 inch pan. Melt morsels together on low heat, stirring constantly, or in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Spread evenly on top of Scotcharoo's. When cool, cut into 2 x 2 inch squares.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:37am From: Bad Ronald

Free Wax Audio MP#s and a Scotcharoo recipe.
It's a good day today.
Thanks everyone!

Annie's Song by John Denver.

Whoops, did I jump the gun?

Wed. 7/30/08 11:37am From: cribley

you were almost throat singing there, ken...

Wed. 7/30/08 11:38am From: dei x

change the sugar to 1/2 c honey and add 1/4 c SCOTCH! Drink half. Cover cook in flour and push backwards over couch.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:38am From: Sean Daily

Is Ken having a Kenny G moment?

Wed. 7/30/08 11:38am From: maria

how about some NOSE music? Ken?

Wed. 7/30/08 11:39am From: TTTTTT

Bears and bird seed. I did not know!

Wonder what the birds think about that? With easy-to-getaway wings, maybe they're ok in the bear off-hours.

Birdseed + honey. Side of scotch.

Wed. 7/30/08 11:41am From: Ike

Dei X, ha! That's the comment of the day.

Cat, I beg you not to torture the poor harmless apostrophes in such a way. What belongs to the scotcharoo?

Wed. 7/30/08 11:42am From: Ken

New Jersey State Fair starts this Friday in Augusta, NJ: newjerseystatefair.org : pig races, demolition derbies, pie eating contests, chainsaw sculpture, toothless carnies, the works!! Go!

A friend of mine tells me bears have a fondness for used baby diapers (peed ones, not pooed). No fooling. I am serious here.

Wed. 7/30/08 12:03pm From: Sean Daily

There are some who WISH George Clooney was dead...

Wed. 7/30/08 12:10pm From: Ike

The will to leave? Ha! I love it. Wait, is a loose will like a loose dog or a loose college student?

Wed. 7/30/08 8:20pm From: WFMU worshiper ....

It's scary how much I love his show. "God" ... was so, god.
