Bathing beauties of the Klan?

good morning everyone!!

Wed. 10/7/09 9:06am Alex Jones:

A scientific dictatorship is in its final stages of completion, and laws protecting basic human rights are being abolished worldwide; an iron curtain of high-tech tyranny is now descending over the planet. A worldwide regime controlled by an unelected corporate elite is implementing a planetary carbon tax system that will dominate all human activity and establish a system of neo-feudal slavery.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:06am Raj:

The people of the Mashy Nations will not submit to neo-feudal slavery!

I'm with you, Cribley. This song could go on for days and I wouldn't get sick of it.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:18am Sonar in DC:

Morning everyone! Me too, I love this song; neo-feudal slavery, not so much.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:18am trs:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:19am trapper:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:19am doug from DC:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:19am Alex Jones:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:20am cribley:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:20am John from Oslo:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:20am BSI:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:24am BSI:

Nasal slavery? What?
Git the government outta my nose! Not cool!

Wed. 10/7/09 9:33am jan:

Great show- from the first cut. I can think of two other cuts at least that long- Rosemary Wood's famous 18 minute Gap or Dark Star.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:34am PMD:

Mornin' all. Just in time for Beck.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:34am Bryant:

Oh no! I missed "Ding"! We ordered a copy on CD after hearing it broadcast just following the Great WFMU Blackout of 2009.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:34am lewis:

excellent - this cut is getting some good air play and was on my mind as I came into the office this morning - thanks Ken!

Wed. 10/7/09 9:35am Vicki:

I was hoping you would loop that bit

Wed. 10/7/09 9:38am BSI:

i simply must hear any Bobby Vinton B-side.
"trouble is my middle name" would do nicely.
Because the Weird Pills ain't working yet.
Your infinite grace,
etc

Wed. 10/7/09 9:39am BSI:

Wed. 10/7/09 9:46am -max-:

LOVE is the LAW!
Morning all...

Wed. 10/7/09 9:47am Cecile:

I thought Barry was talking to his werewolf girlfriend.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:51am Janet H:

I want to have a Secret Live Stream Party!

Wed. 10/7/09 9:51am Wha?:

Why did you delete those messages from Alex Jones, Ken? Isnt this censorship? Are you part of the global powere elite?

Wed. 10/7/09 9:52am Ken:

Yeah, I got a text message from the Trilateral Commission telling me to dispose of Alex ASAP.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:52am Who?:

I bet it's to avoid the google monster.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:53am Cecile:

JUDY. my hero

Wed. 10/7/09 9:55am Wha?:

We are already screwed, Its ok for you smug people in NYC, you want to try living in Montana

Wed. 10/7/09 9:57am trs:

I tried living in Montana, only it was much further east. The views were specatular. I liked the air and big skies.

Wed. 10/7/09 9:58am trs:

specatular spectacular

Wed. 10/7/09 10:00am Mark:

You know Kiss has a new album out

Wed. 10/7/09 10:00am Frank:

Perfect gif image for "I was made for loving you"

Wed. 10/7/09 10:01am Ken:

Please tell me that SOMEONE on this page can listen to 91.1fm and get me a reception report!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:01am -max-:

I would take the "Secret Radio Listening Party" challenge, but will only be within the 91.1 listening area through Friday morning. Will be picking up the stream after that, and through the weekend. I can let you know if I notice anything during that period, if it helps the cause.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:02am Cecile:

So how do you say that band name, Hatrack?

Wed. 10/7/09 10:03am Ken:

Hate Rock

Wed. 10/7/09 10:03am Bryant:

Hey, Ken -- we listen on 91.1 but only in mono because of static issues. Will we still be able to participate in Secret Radio?

Wed. 10/7/09 10:04am Ken:

Max, that's fine, check the 91.1 signal today and again tomorrow and let me know if you hear a difference tomorrow. Friday it will all be back to normal. Bryant - Yes please!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:04am bbell:

Ken-

Not sure what you mean by reception report, but it is coming in clear in Uppr Saddle River. Actually, I have been working on my computer listening to the stream and with the stereo on in another room (there is a bit of a delay on the computer), and it has proved to be a pleasant sort of "round".

Wed. 10/7/09 10:05am Stuart:

Of course we can send listening reports, but we're all lurkers here and want to send them anonymously.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:05am trapper:

91.1 is coming in OK, not great, as usual, here in JC.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:05am Mark:

But can we really consider it to be Kiss without Ace and Peter?

Wed. 10/7/09 10:06am Cecile:

I like Hat Rack better. But that's me.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:06am Dan B:

Will those of us not in the 91.1 area find out the big secret radio secret once it's all over?

Wed. 10/7/09 10:06am melissa:

I'll send in a report!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:06am ~L:

It's FMU all day and all night here, so we'll let you know.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:08am Laurie:

It looks like Brando is tapping in time to this Chicken 'n' Waffles song, and goddamn it I want some Roscoe's right now. Though that cow picture is creeping me out. :(

Wed. 10/7/09 10:09am clueless in MI:

Ken, if you boost the 91.1 signal a little, Detroit will be glad to help you.....snarf

Wed. 10/7/09 10:10am Mark:

Ken knows his way around a teat

Wed. 10/7/09 10:11am JCityJensen:

that's teatrific!

sorry

Wed. 10/7/09 10:12am Laurie:

Is it pronounced with a j sound? I always pronounced gif with a hard g sound.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:12am trs:

no local (to NJ/NY) receivers showing up on globaltuners.com

Wed. 10/7/09 10:14am PMD:

Janet, I agree. I'll attend!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:14am Steely Damn:

I love inane commentary! More!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:14am Mark:

I can get 91.1 but for some reason the radio station is WSHU

Wed. 10/7/09 10:15am GP:

I'm here...adding to the inanity.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:16am GP:

Hey TRS...thanks for that link. I had no idea...so many stations so little time.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:16am Laurie:

I still can't believe "A Minha Menina" was used in a McDonald's commercial.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:16am Cecile:

my coments are always very nane.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:17am Mark:

I'll second that, the globaltuners.com link has already been added to ny favorites

Wed. 10/7/09 10:18am IB:

Inane gadda da vida, baby...

Wed. 10/7/09 10:18am Ken:

Mark. Let me lay it out for you. If you are getting another station at 91.1fm then that means that you are not getting WFMU.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:20am Carmichael:

Happy Hump Day Ken and non-Kens alike.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:20am Mark:

ah, I see, thanks Ken!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:22am Ken:

Yeah no problem Mark. That's why I get paid the big bucks.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:23am Mark:

Cool!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:23am Ken:

Damn. This would've been easier ten years ago when people still knew how radio worked and shit

Wed. 10/7/09 10:23am Janet H:

PMD, yea i'm all for it...live stream secret party!!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:24am Mark:

Wed. 10/7/09 10:25am trs:

people still understand 'presets'

Wed. 10/7/09 10:25am Dr Evul <eye twicth>:

Do not touch ze knobs, ve control ze fequencies, no?

Wed. 10/7/09 10:26am Jason:

Alex was testing out his new channel on 91.1 - whats your problem??

Wed. 10/7/09 10:27am -max-:

My old tuner (bought in 1986) drifted as it aged, and FMU was coming in at 91.0 during the end of its life. Finally replaced it last year.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:28am GP:

No, will not click..will not..

Wed. 10/7/09 10:30am Janet H:

oh...jimi hendrix

Wed. 10/7/09 10:30am Mark:

Has anyone heard the new Mission of Burma?

Wed. 10/7/09 10:34am N. Tesla:

Eat it Marconi, you too Edison. I for one, still understand how radio works Mr. Ken.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:34am Cecile:

A friend of mine hasn't heard it, but she saw them at Mission of Burma Day on Sunday.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:34am Raj:

HEY MY JEWISH BRETHREN- GET DOWN FROM THERE!!-
A. Breckman, everyone's hero

Wed. 10/7/09 10:36am Chris:

Mission of Burma day?

Wed. 10/7/09 10:38am north guinea hills:

i think one of my ancient tape walkmans has an fm tuner, although the dial is broken, it still can be turned w/ a mini screwdriver.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:39am Satan:

Serves you right!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:39am Cecile:

yeah they had a free concert at MIT and the city council declared October 4, 2009 Mission of Burma day.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:39am Carmichael:

Ken, today is John Mellencamp's birthday. Could you not play anything by him? Unless you Traktor him to death with another song.

Get it? Traktor ... Live Aid .... God, I'm heading for the Catskills to get old and wear my pants high.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:39am bennett4senate:

The wind here is creeping me out. I'm 17 stories up, right next to the WTC site, and the building is creaking and moaning.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:50am annie:

(yes)

Wed. 10/7/09 10:50am GP:

Max it is cool. Big buildings are bendy...ah, but you might not want to stand THAT close to that window.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:51am jan:

OK- I just reverted to 91.1 from Sonos and the signal is louder than
sonos. There is some hiss but it sounds ok from the west side of Manhattan

Wed. 10/7/09 10:52am Mark:

-max- get out of the building now, according to to national weather service it might be hit by LAWN FURNITURE AND TRASH RECEPTACLES!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:52am -max-:

Oh, and my b'day was this past Friday. And this morning a co-worker brought in day-old cake from her boy's birthday. Nothing like chocolate cake for breakfast...

Wed. 10/7/09 10:52am annie:

the wind here is incredible.. and the clouds and the sky and the tree colors... blues, greys, whites, .. a camera shot ain't gonna do it..

Wed. 10/7/09 10:52am Carmichael:

What a wonderful train wreck of a song.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:52am north guinea hills:

It's windy??!!! awesome! good time for me to take a break and go outside and frolic in the wind! w00h00!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:52am Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn:

Are you people insane?! Knock off all this palaver. I can't hear myself think.

Wed. 10/7/09 10:54am Mark:

no, we're inane!

Wed. 10/7/09 10:59am Laurie:

Ken, I can't remember if I ever shared this video with you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_X7mMU6Gb0

Seems like your kind of guy! The video just gets weirder and weirder, but man can that guy play the bass guitar.

Wed. 10/7/09 11:00am Al Jonez:

Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk until softened.
Buy my new DVD Mix the softened bread, cooked onion and ground meat.

Wed. 10/7/09 11:01am why didn't I think of this?:

Foxy Production presents The Masturbators, a multiple channel video installation by Sterling Ruby that provocatively complicates the genre of performance video. Using porn stars as performers, Ruby positions his viewers as the voyeurs of his actors’ intimate sexual actions in this charged examination of role of the artist and the construction of masculinity.

Male porn actors are asked to masturbate to climax, solo, in an empty room. Instructions are given by the artist, a still photograph is taken, and then, as the action begins, the actors are left alone, never being sure if anyone is watching from the other side. Without their usual performance context, each pursues the given task with varying results.

With pornography’s formulaic sets and scenarios removed, the actors are left somewhat adrift, giving each performance an experimental air. The work's combination of endurance and improvisation is reminiscent of early performance video, where an artist was often alone in the studio, performing acts of repetition and physical stamina and often addressing the relationship between artist, artwork and audience. Ruby reworks this genre, multiplying and refracting it through the use of professional porn stars who collapse the roles of actor, performer, and artist.

The work sustains a tension that goes beyond the experience of duration and repetition, beyond the humor, fear, anxiety, or lust of witnessing sexual performances: it is a tension inherent in male desire and the abiding fictions that seek to both define and sublimate it.

The Masturbators will be documented in a forthcoming publication in collaboration with PaceWildenstein, New York.

Wed. 10/7/09 11:02am Oscar:

Hi Ken, I came over from Facebook because of your lovely invitation. How is everyone today?

Wed. 10/7/09 11:02am GP:

I'm just a poor boy from.......C U R S E YOU Wayne's World

Wed. 10/7/09 11:02am Laurie:

Usually, youtube comments make me sad, but the comments on the video I linked above make me feel pretty good!
"You have changed my life, I can now live life to the fullest."
"Rest of the world: inferior."
"I don't know what the fuck this is, but I'm glad it exists."
"DAT BASS"

et cetera

Wed. 10/7/09 11:03am still b/p:

If I was there, I'd ask Mr. Shawn to deliver my favorite movie line of his: "Lust is the beast within you!"

Wed. 10/7/09 11:03am Ike:

Ken, do you want me to take my FM Walkman and flounce around midtown Manhattan this evening around 7:30? (Normally the reception on a Walkman in midtown is atrocious -- FM splatter from Empire.)

Wed. 10/7/09 11:04am trisha:

Wed. 10/7/09 11:37am bb:

theres a brilliant nardwuar interview with ian mackaye on the youtube

Wed. 10/7/09 11:38am Ike:

Was that really Nardwuar on last night's Best Show? His voice was somewhat distressing to my kidneys and caused my old disused guitar's strings to warble and hum.

Wed. 10/7/09 11:38am GP:

Thanks Ken..I needed the title, now I can find it.

Wed. 10/7/09 11:39am doug from DC:

bb: I've got to check that out. I watched his Sonic Youth interview yesterday. It's on his website.

Wed. 10/7/09 11:39am Gigantor:

Ah! So that's what Kenny G's show is! Part of a military torture research project!

Wed. 10/7/09 11:41am Ken:

Yes Ike, that was him on TBSOW last night. You will learn to love Nardwuar.
