Happy Wednesday, Ken! Happy Wednesday, fellow listeners!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:01am From: cribley

Morning all. Have you seen this Ken? http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/html/afccards/afccards-home.html

Wed. 9/2/09 9:01am From: Ne-guh-tor

Wed. 9/2/09 9:02am From: annie

ken!!! other people out there!!! stragglers!! passers-by!!! good morning!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:02am From: BSI

Q: Is it soup yet?

Wed. 9/2/09 9:03am From: BSI

A: is WHAT soup yet?

Wed. 9/2/09 9:05am From: Ken

Morning everybody, it's really good to be back. And back for good this time.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:05am From: -max-

Wednesdays are so great that I'm starting my vacation today! Morning all.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:07am From: Mark

Ken, I'm glad you're back for good and not evil

Wed. 9/2/09 9:08am From: Bad Ronald

Morning Everyone!

What's Sluggo freaking out about?

Wed. 9/2/09 9:09am From: Doug in Canada

Listener Doug checking in.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:09am From: Dan B

I don't know, Mark... he has got the goatee, now. If television has taught us anything, it's that people with goatees are always evil.

Still, Ken's an all right guy. Evil or Good.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:09am From: Ken

I think Sluggo is freaking out about back to school / work.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:09am From: Doug in Canada

I like you because you play Flipper ... where can I get this?

Wed. 9/2/09 9:11am From: Ghengis Jung

I can't believe you started without me!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:12am From: Bad Ronald

Gotcha, it looks like he's sweating blood!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:13am From: BSI

Bad Ronald:
ain't we all!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:14am From: Ghengis Jung

It's not always the goatee. Here, Evil Kirk is distinguished by his eyeliner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bZKEhgieoc

Wed. 9/2/09 9:21am From: Bad Ronald

True dat BSI.

That Guitar Ken looks like an amalgam of Zappa, The Boss and Jimmy Page!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:22am From: Mark

Ken has replaced Angus Young in AC/DC?

Wed. 9/2/09 9:23am From: gbrust

Is that a coven of mathematicians? Besides the geometrical & algebraic symbols, it looks like the one's skirt says "calculus"

Wed. 9/2/09 9:26am From: dei xhrist

oh Zatumba, save me from the work day... tell me the winning lotto numbers and I will reward FMU many fold

Wed. 9/2/09 9:26am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

That seals it. As everyone knows, "K" is the letter of the Devil.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:26am From: Vicki

no

Wed. 9/2/09 9:27am From: PMD

Great to have you back! Hi all!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:28am From: Bw

Even with the tefillin u can't remember the fill in!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:28am From: -max-

Zatumba! How good of you to join us! Someone pass him a martini.
Piraro knows the secret of "k", see it here: http://www.bizarro.com/symbols/index.htm

Wed. 9/2/09 9:28am From: TRTSH

Glad again for that archive, missing the new music like I did again again.

C gives K a hard time. I think you should pit them again one another.

Welcome backckckck

Wed. 9/2/09 9:29am From: BSI

Hooray for "K"!!!!
...don't forget bhangra superstar A.S.Kang! He's a "K" as well!!!!
May I suggest "Chhan Ke" from the "Dil De De" album?

....best bhangra track ever... and it's by a "K" dude! You can't lose!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:29am From: TRTSH

.. against one another

Not again.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:30am From: Mac

Turned on the Mac and hear Ken heading off on a rant. I can happily work knowing the next few hours will find some amusement. Sluggo is sweating blood because he was drawn by Ernie Bushmiller.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:33am From: Ken Ken

Sorry Bob W! I did thank you, just not twice. So thank you Bob Bob

Wed. 9/2/09 9:36am From: townspeople

Thank you, masked man.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:36am From: Morticia

Thank you, Thing.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:36am From: Cecile

Ken!
Genghis!
Negator!
everyone!
Good to see everyone!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:37am From: Ken

I want everybody to get going on the Ganzfeld Procedure right away.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:38am From: Mark

I'm on it

Wed. 9/2/09 9:39am From: Thatan, Printh of Darkneth

@ Dum: K? Oh, come now. Everyone knowth that ETH (what mere mortalth refer to ath "S") is for Thatan, thandwicheth on the danthfloor, thexual intercourth, and Thpiderman of the Ringth!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:39am From: cribley

I've been meaning to try that.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:40am From: dragonflyshards

can i use basketballs? i have no ping-pong balls...

Wed. 9/2/09 9:41am From: Listener Dave from NH

Because that image is so small, I thought it said "The Garfield Procedure" at first and I figured it'd have something to do with loving lasagna and hating Mondays, but then there's a horse and rainbows?

Wed. 9/2/09 9:47am From: Bad Ronald

Mmmm, baby mold!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:48am From: PMD

Ken, I didn't know you played the guitar!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:48am From: BSI

MISSUS McWIGGAM!
Great grasshopper jesus, it's good to have Ken back in my skull.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:49am From: annie

aaaahhhhhhhh, you're back!!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:50am From: cribley

Wearing a goatee gives you the innate ability to play all instruments, as it is practically selling your soul at the crossroads.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:50am From: Dan B

You tell 'em, Bocephus.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:51am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Are you sure that Hank Williams Jr doesn't spell his name with all "K"s?

Wed. 9/2/09 9:52am From: sebastian

hola ken, que buena tenerte rallando la papa otra vez

Wed. 9/2/09 9:52am From: Mark

I love the stupidity of blaming Bill Clinton for the unchecked greed of the banks during the Bush administration

Wed. 9/2/09 9:52am From: Bill W

I'm eating salad at the bottom of the food chain here.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:53am From: dei x

pronounced "gones-ville", daddy-o.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:53am From: sugarwolf

It's my first Wednesday morning off in ages & I get to spend it listening to Ken!!

Wed. 9/2/09 9:55am From: TRTSH

Not so much a food chain as it is a web. Most decomposers may be small and forgettable, but the system would be a mess w/o 'em

Wed. 9/2/09 9:56am From: Ne-guh-tor

Hank WIlliams Jr. is such a fuckin' dumbass. That is the stupidest crock of nonsense. Hank Williams has rolled over in his grave since he died due to that idiot. Hank Jr. doesn't have McNuggets worth of talent to his father. What a moron.

Wed. 9/2/09 9:56am From: dragonflyshard

i crawled up the food chain to eat eggs & salsa

Wed. 9/2/09 9:58am From: annie

venison and rice here, for breakfast.. and two eggs

Wed. 9/2/09 10:00am From: Listener Listener Michael

Just goes to chow, guys: be a good and present father to your kids, or they'll piss on your memory the way Bocephus has on his father's.

(I understand that Hank didn't have a lot of choice in the matter once his marriage was fucked-up, so I guess the advice-stack should be pushed up one level to: don't have kids until you're reasonably sure your marriage won't get fucked-up.)

Wed. 9/2/09 10:00am From: Dan B

Anybody can make up statistics in their head! 87% of all people know that!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:01am From: Chefcmc

60% of the time it works all of the time.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:01am From: sugarwolf

if you repeat a statistic enough times, it becomes true!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:01am From: jojo

60% of the time it works EVERY time

Wed. 9/2/09 10:02am From: Cecile

listener listener michael, if my parents thought about being mature before they had kids it too much, I'd not be around.
Sad but true

Wed. 9/2/09 10:03am From: Cecile

I stand corrected, jojo

Wed. 9/2/09 10:03am From: carl rove

i told socrates in the nyer: surely you believe that if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes true

Wed. 9/2/09 10:03am From: jojo

one of only a few good lines in that movie

Wed. 9/2/09 10:04am From: Ken

Hi Cecile - Welcome back! I still sort of love you! Its been a long time though...

Wed. 9/2/09 10:04am From: Cecile

I love that stupid movie irrationally.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:04am From: tramadol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ2zr4C1hBA&feature=related

Wed. 9/2/09 10:06am From: Cecile

I know. It's been a long distance relationship...
I still love you too, Ken.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:10am From: BSI

This Ganzfeld Procedure is damned painful!
.......oh........
ping-pong balls should be bulging OUT, right?
......................ah. much better.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:13am From: Ken

BSI - You can also use some Silicon caulk to mitigate the sharp edges and keep them from falling off. Use the clear stuff so you dont look like a clown when you're all done.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:15am From: stingy d

hey. i'm taking the day off. gonna throw out the garbage and get a hiarcut. not in that order. and of course, i'm about to prepare epic breakfast!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:15am From: Mark

why not use a little crazy glue to keep the ping pong ball in place?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:16am From: Bad Ronald

Style, Interesting, Music, Flash, Up and Down, Go Round and Round!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:17am From: Cecile

what kinda epic brekkie, stingy?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:17am From: Dan B

Please tell me the Pole Dance toy is just shopped. God, please let that not be real. I take back any bad thing I ever said about Bling Teeth.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:18am From: Ken

It's real Dan, its not shopped, it's REEEAALL!! Dont look away!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:20am From: Cecile

yeah, loleatta!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:21am From: bocefus

i munna start my lil gil erly

Wed. 9/2/09 10:22am From: AnAnonymousParty

I remember showing my son how to soak the decals in water to put on his model cars ... now I have show my daughter how to do it so she can put the tattoos on her Pole Dancer Barbie. The times, they are a-changin'.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:24am From: dragonflyshar

Ken do you have a german,danish,or ukrainian version of "hanky panky"?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:24am From: PMD

Pole dancing is very good exercise.
Or so I hear.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:26am From: dragonflysha

(so are kegels)

Wed. 9/2/09 10:27am From: TRTSH

I wonder how it sells in Poland?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:28am From: BSI

Too late, Ken. I went with Mark's superglue idea and now I'm living in a whole new wonderland of dreams........

Wed. 9/2/09 10:28am From: Hokey Pokey Uppy Datey

Ya do the whorey-poley
And you flash your goods around,
That's what it's all about!
C'mon kids!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:28am From: CC

dragonflyshar must have been listening to 3 chord montte yesterday.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:32am From: AnAnonymousParty

Wyy do I always expect Darth Vader to appear when I hear that Prokofiev piece?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:32am From: dragonflysh

yes,and there's a hole -waiting for more hanky panky.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:33am From: Cecile

I'm sorry, some things like strippers, MA-rated comedy shows and heavy drinking should be left to adults. To hell with family togetherness...

Wed. 9/2/09 10:36am From: CC

obviously cecile isn't aware of the stripping for jesus movement

Wed. 9/2/09 10:36am From: still b/p

I like that Windmill version so much, I get all Sluggo and exude visible intensity of sentiment.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:37am From: Lizardner Dave

ALL HAIL ZATUMBA

Wed. 9/2/09 10:40am From: sugarwolf

I didn't think Hasidim were allowed to go to drive-ins....

Wed. 9/2/09 10:40am From: Variety

Zack Norman is Sammy in Chief Zabu!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:40am From: jon

Ken:

Someone might have already asked,,, what is the image next to Flipper Way of the World entry on the play list? Where did it come from?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:41am From: Parq

"Hassids At The Drive-In" would be a good name for a band. As would "Hassids in Pickups".

Wed. 9/2/09 10:42am From: Cecile

Ken, you have to play some Was (Not Was).
Remember when it was the national anthem of Lower Michigan?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:43am From: jojo

pickup sids

Wed. 9/2/09 10:44am From: CC

ken will be interviewing zac ephron? crazy!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:45am From: Cecile

when we went to see that movie, we left it going "feel good movie of the fall!" and "I laughed until I cried! And then I cried until I laughed!"

Wed. 9/2/09 10:48am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

How about "the Hassid Aminophens" for a band name?

Wed. 9/2/09 10:48am From: Fape Cear

Don't forget, Ken, when you're laughing in that way, you must also say "counselor" like you have a broken nose and a harelip.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:48am From: Don LaFontaine

"In a world where Hassidic Jews ..."

Wed. 9/2/09 10:49am From: John from Oslo

Good show! just tuned in!

Wed. 9/2/09 10:51am From: CC

at first i thought that said "if you have fun..."

Wed. 9/2/09 10:53am From: John from Oslo

Veleno Mortale sounds like unplugged D.A.F.

Wed. 9/2/09 10:59am From: AnAnonymousParty

I know a gal who could turn those HanderPants into a shirt.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:01am From: dragonflys

i need to control my hand bounce when i run...

Wed. 9/2/09 11:02am From: Ken

Jon - I dont know the story behind that "Way of the World" image. But it's an amazing photo. I found it on a vintage photo site and there was no info. Scary looking shit

Wed. 9/2/09 11:06am From: dragofly

her dress says calculus"-no?..where i live someone wrote on a brick wall "run away and do calculus"...that grafiti-er probably knows about this.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:11am From: sugarwolf

those ladies look like they have have math stuff written on their dress & chalk hanging from their waists

Wed. 9/2/09 11:13am From: Ken

Clearly it's some kind of math-based coven.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:15am From: bw

ken - i want underpants for my hands!!!!!!!! even more than bling teeth

Wed. 9/2/09 11:15am From: annie

trigonometry can do that to you

Wed. 9/2/09 11:16am From: Dan B

a^2+b^2 = Satan?

Wed. 9/2/09 11:16am From: Cecile

it could be an anti-education for women dance troupe.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:17am From: BSI

Screw hand-underpants! I can't catch up!
I'm still trying to find those soldider-of-jesus pajamas (from previous Ken playlist) in adult sizes! The manufacturer refuses my lusty advances!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:17am From: Cecile

this is about as silly (and wonderful) as that Carcass record where they went all thrash metal

Wed. 9/2/09 11:19am From: Ken

I too would kill for a pair of handerpants... are they available? I would search but I'm too busy downloading porn.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:20am From: Listener Dave from NH

Which Carcass album? "Heartwork"?
I like that one bunches but I wouldn't call it silly.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:22am From: Cecile

I love it tons, but yes, it's a little silly. But thrash metal is a bit inherently silly. I think. I still love it.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:22am From: gbrust

handerpants.com. They even have ringtones!!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:22am From: dragfly

i sold my soul to MC Escher

Wed. 9/2/09 11:24am From: Parq

If you please, a concurring underwear post:

http://www.mcphee.com/items/11884.html

Wed. 9/2/09 11:27am From: stingy d

mmmmmmmmm potatoes, bacon, eggs, biscuits and coffeeeee! not totally epic. but there's more biscuits.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:28am From: PMD

Handerpants. Is that a big knuckle or are you happy to see me?

Wed. 9/2/09 11:29am From: Listener Dave from NH

Curiously enough, I think it's somehow less cartoony of an album than N:DtI. But I guess I stand corrected - there is something impish and excessive about thrash. SOD was a wink writ large and Slayer was over-the-top to the point of being a caricature of a death and Satan-obsessed metal band. Silly indeed!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:29am From: PMD

Parq - that is GREAT!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:29am From: Cecile

om nom nom nom
biscuits.
Is Gladys giving you the puppy eyes? "Oh, hoomin biskits are so much better than dog biskits!"

Wed. 9/2/09 11:30am From: Bugs Bunny

No matter what dat sign sez, dat ain't no rabbit, Doc.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:30am From: Cecile

LDNH:
Impish! I've never heard it called that, but it is completely true!!! Coll!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:31am From: Parq

The lovely Mrs. Parq is a devoted Archie McPhee fan. Those squirrel pants have been a running gag in our house for a year now.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:33am From: stingy d

gladys made eys and did a whole lot of noisy sniffing. she got a little peice of bacon.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:34am From: PMD

Really Ken, WFMU needs to do things in dofferent locations across the US. Like, um, DC.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:34am From: doug in DC

I remember in the early nineties when a friend played Deicide for me and a couple of friends. We were literally ROTFL, but admiring their chops at the same time.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:35am From: Cecile

Aw, gladys.
I cherish my Mars Attacks! light switch plate covers from the Archie McPhee mothership store in Seattle

Wed. 9/2/09 11:36am From: stingy d

i wanna see kennyg !!!!!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:37am From: dragonf

Wed. 9/2/09 11:37am From: Ken

OK Stingy,. they;re yours! Email me your real name and shit: ken at wfmu dot org

Wed. 9/2/09 11:38am From: quinn

i NEED to see kenny g!!!!!!!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:40am From: Lizardner Dave

I may just go see Kenny G, first I've gotta get out of previous plans.

And did anyone else notice that Jandek is playing there this Sunday? That's quite a week for one venue!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:43am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Ken - If you think national, then you are national. Bring your game to DC and we will bring the crowd.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:49am From: dragon

is it those men in barrels singing bg vx?

Wed. 9/2/09 11:50am From: PMD

I may start howling now too.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:51am From: ghost of taoc

Ken, thank you.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:51am From: andre

omg Harry merry rules! he just played here in Nashville a couple of weeks ago.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:51am From: Cecile

That's beautiful cribley!

Wed. 9/2/09 11:56am From: Parq

Rock on, Raad-Man, wherever you are.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:57am From: dragn

Wed. 9/2/09 11:57am From: andre

Wed. 9/2/09 11:57am From: ozzy skateboard

Ah, Ozzy. I'm going Sunday! I should wear my FMU shirt...

Wed. 9/2/09 11:59am From: doug in DC

Freebird, with the purchase of another bird of equal or lesser value.

Wed. 9/2/09 11:59am From: PMD

Ken, you really need to play a track from the Van Morrison breaking contract record (that I won from your show). How about Ringworm?
