Didgeribones and Gingham: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:21am -Ken:

Morning all!

♥ 6:22am geo in jc:

Good Morning Ken!

♥ 6:25am -Ken:

Hi George!

♥ 6:30am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning, all. I notice my car is receiving free Sirius® radio this week. Channel 30 is the Eagles channel, between the jam channel and the Tom Petty channel. Enjoy!

♥ 6:48am -Ken:

Be careful Ken, the jams might get too heavy to drive.

7:26am Cat, Clement and Zé:

Hi Ken!
Bom dia from the community kitchen in Lisbon

♥ 7:55am -Ken:

Hello Lisbon! Portuguese music coming right up

7:59am Listener Robert:

A month ago after listening to the end of an all-calypso program on I forgot what station, I was hankering for more calypso, but couldn't find it as such on the FMA, so could you please play some?

♥ 8:11am Planet Tyler:

Hi Ken and all! Im here for the too cool for school gifs. Ken, you have a gift for these

♥ 8:20am -Ken:

Will try to find some calypso.. thank you Tyler!

♥ 8:37am NotARealDoctor:

Oh boy, I love orange, gelatinous, oozy leaks!

8:37am Losermom:

I am happy to report that I have had ZERO nightmares about equipment failure at WFMU these past two weeks!

♥ 8:44am -Ken:

Excellent news Losermom, keep up the good work! @NotaRealDoctor I love them too, especially the oozy gelatinous ones.

♥ 8:54am Planet Tyler:

Hey Ken, can you do a dingo update?

♥ 9:01am Ken From Hyde Park:

What time does the formal ceremony to swap the billboard take place?

9:01am F8F8 (:

Good morning, Ken, people!

I'm very disappointed with you Ken and you fellow listeners and commenters because no one, no single one of you told me there is another Washing Machine song! If you know I'm the #1 fan of the Rosa Park's WM song why you never told me Kate Bush's Mrs Bartolozzi song (from the Aerial released in 2005) is the ultimate washing machine song?!

Also, why you never told me Samsung is about to release 'Washing Machine, The Movie' with soundtrack by Michael Nyman?! Why keeping me behind the veil of ignorance?!

9:01am melinda:

Hi Ken

♥ 9:02am Sebastian:

good day

♥ 9:03am Sebastian:

I'm all for some calypso, I'm really missing Irwin's Muriel's Treasure

♥ 9:05am Sebastian:

@Listener Robert get your fix: wfmu.org...

♥ 9:05am bk845:

Good morning Ken!

♥ 9:05am Krys O.:

Found out recently that where I work is right next to a former toxic waste dump. As if being near a fracking station wasn't enough.

♥ 9:06am Sem Chumbo:

I think that is spelled "Kilmeister."
Hello, SM Ken, and whatever a collection of Ken listeners is called. A shouting? A pronounciation? A Hazmat?

9:07am Scotty C from Tennessee:

Hi Ken, love the show! You were my gateway drug to WFMU years ago, thanks for that!

♥ 9:10am Sebastian:

Tjupurru!

9:11am Brendan in Carroll Gardens:

Keep it coming KEN!

9:11am F8F8 (:

Hi, Scotty!

Me too. But do you have a song or group of songs which made you stick with Ken in the first place? I do remember. For me it was Ergo Phizmiz and People Like Us.

♥ 9:11am Sebastian:

this is such a great sound! He's playing a didgeribone iirc - a didgeridootrombone

9:12am queems:

i'm a fan of this

9:12am cory:

hi all, sry for being so late

♥ 9:13am rsj:

great show already

9:14am debt collector:

Good morning and love from Burlington VT, Ken!
Been listening since 1985 and proselytizing ever since. You may recall your “sons of Kafka” mixtape premium from this days....we are old.

♥ 9:14am Krys O.:

Listening at work at the lowest volume possible because of co-workers.

9:15am F8F8 (:

cory!

You are not only late for this show but If I'm not mistaken you didn't even show up in the last one! What is going on? You seem to be working too much! Remember, we WFMU listeners don't work! That goes beyond our duties to the station. I'm starting to getting worried about you, brother.

9:16am Listener Robert:

Thanks so much, Sebastian! I don't know how that escaped my att'n. Looks like Irwin had these on a semi-regular schedule. If it was a segment of his regular program (probably not, since separately archived), it may have been during a period when I was working during his show, or unable to stream and with local reception precluded by pirates, so it didn't come to my attention. Was he working on it only in digital form during that year he was off-schedule?

Sorry he excluded Belafonte, though.

9:16am yippie:

yeah no tv

♥ 9:16am Ken From Hyde Park:

What becomes of the old billboard? If someone with a barn or other large building can tack it to the side for a while, that'd be cool.

9:16am cory:

last week was a D&D podcast and this week is a mofo of a cold. thinking about heading back to bed already

9:17am yippie:

it reminds when Lucy drove backwards thru the holland tunnel on i love lucy, everyone got so mad at her.

♥ 9:17am Sebastian:

@Robert: Irwin did this as partof his 3 hour show, and he repeatedly made a point of NO BELAFONTE!

9:18am yippie:

that episode actually says Lucy caused a traffic jam all the way to east orange

9:19am yippie:

she probably just wanted to get better reception on her wfmu

9:20am cory:

btw WFMU and more specifically Irwin got some really nice mentions on the latest Dork Forest podcast. they were discussing outsider music

9:21am F8F8 (:

Yes, cory! Staying in bed, or sitting on a couch all day. Those are the much needed attitudes! Anyway, get better soon. I'm getting out of a cold as well.

9:21am Morgan:

I love this lida husik album!

9:21am cory:

thanks F8F8

9:21am Morgan:

everything sounds better on the radio

9:22am yippie:

give a wedgie to the man and throw a banana cream pie in his face

♥ 9:23am Rev. Turnip Druid:

ah! tuned in just in time for the Husik flashback. A much younger RTD is in this one.

♥ 9:23am Rev. Turnip Druid:

also: hello.

9:24am F8F8 (:

Indeed, morgan. This Lida Husik song is one of my favourite examples of a great instrumental song with lyrics.

♥ 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park:

So NBC sacked Matt Lauer this morning for improprieties. They should install some cameras in Studio A and broadcast Wake and Bake instead of their old morning show. Chair throwing, pixie dust - it's got all the cool stuff for great television.

♥ 9:25am Jay Goges:

Oh Hi Ken

♥ 9:27am melinda:

I like Lida Husik. Does anyone remember her song Bus Stop? I have it on a tape someone made me but it seems hard to find when I look online.

♥ 9:28am MD:

HI (HIGH) AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:28am queems:

when i was in hilo, hawaii i saw a sign with a rice cooker on it that said "cook rice, not ice"

♥ 9:29am MD:

Smokin Garbage bags!!! Live tonight! one night only!!!

♥ 9:29am Lizardner Dave:

91.9 in NYC still off the air FYI.....

♥ 9:31am psysci:

thanks ken for the meth lab ideas

9:31am Listener Robert:

Now the recollection of that segment of Irwin's coming back, dimly. I think I was bugged then by his pointed exclusion of Belafonte, but I think the idea was that you could get Belafonte anywhere, so why WFMU? But I may already have been closing my ears at that hour in anticipation of Kenny G, who may have induced retrograde amnesia extending some time before his show.

Don't go by me for recollection of WFMU schedules. I conflated Rex with The Hound, and for a while after Glen Jones started, I thought it was just that Bill Kelly had changed his musical taste to square.

9:31am Scotty C from Tennessee:

F8F8 there wasn’t a specific song, just an appreciation of Ken’s sense of humor and his excellent representation of the “stance” of WFMU. Freeform is freedom!

9:33am Morgan:

ken, you did a hazmat report about a cosmetics factory exploding and maybe 36 hours later I spotted a chemical barrel washed up about 60 miles downstream from there.

9:36am mb:

Hello Ken. I too am listening at low volumes at work and appreciate the swirly trebles of Fat Freddy. Can't say the same for my dog eared co-workers.

9:37am achim:

great new hookwoorms track! bring it ken!

♥ 9:39am psysci:

Can you get a little more enthused for the hazmat report on clay's show?

♥ 9:39am Rev. Turnip Druid:

@Melinda: that tune was from her "return of red emma" LP, which was the last of the shimmy-disc releases. A goodie. I still see it around occasionally..

9:39am F8F8 (:

Who is Fat Freddy anyway?that is, where the name comes from? In one episode of those Irwin occasionally plays about this old radio personality (Jim Shepherd, I think?). Anyway, there's one episode where he tells the fictional story of a hamster named Fat Freddy which is about to be launched into space. Could this little story be the inspiration of the name of the band?

9:39am Wild Neil:

Peace all! Hookworms rock!! CLizick STIZAR! (that is jive, folks).

9:39am Okasa:

Ahoy-hoy SM Ken, Fake Ken, HP Ken, and all Wed AM non-Kens.

9:40am Wild Neil:

Fat Freddy was a Freak Brother in the underground comics....Fat Freddy Freak, Phineas Freak, et al....and of course, Fat Freddy's Cat who had his own comic book also.

♥ 9:40am -Ken:

@psysci - Im doing the best I can. It's hard to be enthusiastic about extremely fun stuff like exploding meth labs.

♥ 9:41am psysci:

@wild Neil I have a fat freddy's cat issue. great stuff

9:42am F8F8 (:

Wild Neil,

Thanks. Most probably the name comes from those sources since the Shepherds' radio shows seemed quite obscure from an European perspective.

♥ 9:42am Rev. Turnip Druid:

RE: fat freddy's cat & etc -- All that Rip-Off Press material is totally crucial.

9:42am Wild Neil:

I used to read those sometimes, got them from Down Under Leather in Syracuse near the university.

9:43am Wild Neil:

Hey, there was a sniper in Reno similar to Vegas shooting....so sad....

♥ 9:44am psysci:

I hope my sarcasm wasnt lost in translation here. It literally sounds like you are in a disaster situation while doing the report. Or is that really what it's like there during clay's show?

♥ 9:45am MD:

All in Range of No Korea!!!

♥ 9:45am MD:

I missed the Cold War!!!

9:46am Wild Neil:

I don't miss the Cold War....Poland got royally screwed over by the allies.

♥ 9:48am psysci:

the news about reno is very vague

9:49am yippie:

wow this song goes really well with coca cola douche by the fugs

♥ 9:49am MD:

It's Matt Lauer!!!!

9:49am queems:

what on earth

9:50am F8F8 (:

I'm starting to dig this Billy Nayer guy. First it was his 'Party Party Party' and now this.

♥ 9:50am People Like Us:

that song was a bit naughty

♥ 9:51am steveo:

i think i heard the word bosoms

9:52am F8F8 (:

Oh, Alvarius B which should not to be confused with Tenacious D. Don't make that same mistake as me, people!

♥ 9:53am People Like Us:

oh that's better, whistling

♥ 9:53am psysci:

holy moley bitcoin and ether all time highs.

9:54am F8F8 (:

Perfect, perfect, perfect instrumental song without lyrics right there, with the Meat Puppets.

9:55am F8F8 (:

psysci,

Thanks for remind me I shouldn't have exchanged all my bitcoin fortunes into Bad Show insurances. Thank you.

♥ 9:55am melinda:

@Rev Turnip thanks for the tip.

♥ 9:56am Fuzzy:

Well, how about dat!

♥ 9:56am Sebastian:

almost everything with whistling is good, except the damn Scorpions

♥ 9:56am northguineahills:

I thought we'd here this after Clay's How Soon is Now!

♥ 9:58am psysci:

Sorry, but it may not be too late. It just keeps going up @F8F8 I sold the bulk of my bitcoin to pay bills

♥ 9:58am steveo:

"Hippychick" (composed by Timothy London), which was a Top 15 U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart hit in December 1990, and a Top 10 hit single in the UK Singles Chart in 1991. The song featured a sample from The Smiths' recording "How Soon Is Now?" sequenced over a Soul II Soul rhythm. London told Mojo magazine that it "was written as a blues before The Smiths' samples and the rhythm were added". "Hippychick" also went to number two for two weeks on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.

9:58am JakeGould:

Hey Ken! Found some cool original artist GIFs and thought I would post. Here is the page with them: www.zwartekoffie.com...

This one is pretty good: www.zwartekoffie.com...

So is this one: www.zwartekoffie.com...

This too: www.zwartekoffie.com...

HOPE EVERYONE IS GOOD!!!!

9:59am fleep:

[surfacing] Yep

10:00am F8F8 (:

Sebastian,

Now that you mention it I could say Scorpions was -technically- my gateway drug to German music.

Woah. I felt terrible confessing to that.

♥ 10:01am Sebastian:

*shuddering*

♥ 10:03am Spankyflop:

Stingray Sam is also really great. It's the sequel to American Astronaut.

♥ 10:03am northguineahills:

Hey, I have that comp Fat Freddy is on, got it from the wire.

10:05am Wild Neil:

Hopefully the official story coming out of Reno actually matches the facts.

10:06am JakeGould:

The first underground comic I inadvertently purchased were two “Fat Freddy’s Cat” mini compilations in 1979. I was 11 years old, kind naive and my dad was with me in the shop and just nodded “Yes!” when the clerks looked over me to get his approval.

I liked the art but it took me growing into an adult to fully realize how horrible the writing of those things were. Still like the art.

♥ 10:11am steveo:

excerpt? boo!

♥ 10:15am northguineahills:

wow, Noah Creshevsky!

♥ 10:15am Webhamster Henry:

Chreshevsky is classic!

♥ 10:16am northguineahills:

yeah, right steveo, we don't hear much of Eugeniusz Rudnik!

10:17am F8F8 (:

Funny you mention that, JakeGould. I didn't inadvertently purchase my first comic. I inadvertently stole my first comic. Yeah . I was so little and I only realised when my mother found it and realised she didn't pay for it when in the shop. Anway, I don't know if I should feel more embarrassed by that fact or that the comic was one from Woody Woodpecker.

10:17am Mark Williams:

i think Ken's playing this from the latest Wire magazine CD, and they only provided the excerpted version of this.

♥ 10:19am bk845:

You're on acorns!

♥ 10:19am Roberto:

Is it possible to double favorite a song?

10:19am Wild Neil:

This reminds me of Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies.

♥ 10:20am Roberto:

Noooo my acorns!

♥ 10:20am northguineahills:

@Mark: that reminds me, last month I renewed my wire subscription after a year's lapse, and now I need to do it again, as it only went to nov 2017.

♥ 10:20am steveo:

sure sign you're on acorns, Neil

10:20am Wild Neil:

Well, NOW it doesn't. "You're on acorn!"

♥ 10:20am Roberto:

And my harmoneeca!

♥ 10:21am Sem Chumbo:

A few sunflower seeds, next thing you know a 10 pound a day acorn habit. Gotta a squirrel on my back, man. Hard.

10:21am F8F8 (:

You have to admit the confidence shown by the DJ when he goes from Noah Creshevsky to the Chipmunks in one go is breathtaking.

♥ 10:22am Sem:

...a squirrel named Alvin.

♥ 10:22am βrian:

Are you sure that's not "eggcorn?"

♥ 10:22am steveo:

i just put a dash of acorns in my coffee

♥ 10:23am steveo:

tape music is a thing I enjoy, apparently

♥ 10:24am Sebastian:

oh no!

♥ 10:25am Sebastian:

not shutting my eyes!

♥ 10:25am northguineahills:

NSFW!

10:26am Brendan:

Good morning Ken and seekers of the balls.

10:26am Listening Out There:

Geez. I can't find mine either...

♥ 10:27am steveo:

i found mine -- they were in my pocket all along!

♥ 10:27am psysci:

i dont recommend anyone does this with their balls.

♥ 10:28am Bas NL:

Ahhhh!!! Never heard Balls in full!

♥ 10:28am AnAnonymousParty:

I found them! Oh, wait those are not balls.

10:29am F8F8 (:

I'm pretty sure the guy that coughs in the background of the 'Hidden Balls Lady' track has the balls because whenever they find one he coughs.

10:29am Balls_Benedict:

Sometimes the balls are covered in hollandaise

♥ 10:30am Lixiviated Life:

Q: Why do mice have such small balls?
A: Because they're not very good dancers

10:31am Brendan:

Nix the brussels sprouts for tonights menu

10:31am Velvet Frog:

I was at a reading once where a poet read from her poem "Balls". All I remember is the first line: Balls, balls, I love them all.
It got even better from there.

♥ 10:32am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I think 'Eugenius' might be the original form of the name, meaning 'good spirit'.

♥ 10:32am AnAnonymousParty:

Maybe there was a doctor in the studio looking for balls, making the guy cough.

10:33am Chick:

Ken, great show as always! By the way, what's playing behind you?

10:34am cory:

it's rock a bye baby plays kanye west

♥ 10:35am medson:

The Big Bamboo. Nice

10:35am Mark S:

The Big Bamboo!

10:35am F8F8 (:

Exactly my thoughts, AnAnonymousParty.

10:37am Mikeee:

https://specialgueststars.bandcamp.com/releases free

♥ 10:39am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Triple entendre: I think the Duke of Iron's backed on "The Big Bamboo" by a bamboo saxophone, or a clarinetist trying to sound like he's playing one.

♥ 10:39am steveo:

Tan bonitas y preciosas, todas con un defecto,
ya no salen conmigo, salen con un güey perfecto.

10:40am F8F8 (:

The most bizarre thing about the guy behind Mexican Instute of Sound is that he is THE MAN of the music industry in his home country.

♥ 10:41am steveo:

the sound is pretty lush

♥ 10:42am Henry:

memories of cherry blossoms

10:42am Sue P.:

Hearing the Pierre Henry CBC bed music...making me misty.

10:43am F8F8 (:

Muy bien, steveo. Or should I say, esteban-o?

Is this the B side of Telstar?

♥ 10:46am steveo:

but not estebaño, por favor

♥ 10:46am People Like Us:

this track sounds like it's falling down the stairs

10:48am F8F8 (:

I'm sorry to say but the songs from the album 'Astro Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000 ' don't sound like beyond 2000. In fact, they still sound like from the late 60's.

10:49am Wild Neil:

I just told my ex-girlfriend on Facebook to buy a hand truck to get a chair home from Salvation Army in NY NY. Manhattan, that is. A folding hand truck for a tiny apartment dweller.

Go Wild Neil! See people? Make no mistake! When it comes to Wild Neil, he is really, really Wild!

10:59am Wild Neil:

I called! It went ok! I didn't let loose with a political tirade. Whew! It was kinda boring, just me reading. I FORGOT to announce "this is WFMU". Sorry Ken!

11:00am Brendan:

@WN Throw in a station id and you’re hired

♥ 11:00am bk845:

Great job Neil:)

♥ 11:00am -Ken:

It's OK Neil, you did great!

11:00am Dean:

Not boring at all, @WN.

♥ 11:01am Michele:

Someone needs to call in with the station ID, outsource that ASAP!
Good job Neil!

Thank you everybody, it was an honor! I'm at work but my boss was out of the room. We are kinda slow right now!

The only thing missing was an EAS alert interrupting things.

you killed it Neil!

♥ 11:02am (Murakami Whywolf))):

F8F8 (:
Science fiction tends to reflect their times really well: a Heinlein story from 1940 about 2100 can tell you so much about 1940, "Logan's Run" is so damn '70s it hurts. Any year's assumptions about the future can end-up being more important than the actual plot.

Related: if you want to see a good sample of '60s and '70s home furnishings, check-out cheap horror, sci-fi, and (yes) pornography from then.

♥ 11:02am medson:

I like to recite the station ID in the shower

11:03am Brendan:

Since the back announce was at 11 am you coulda well you know....

♥ 11:03am northguineahills:

We're holding up to that, medson, one of these mornings!

11:04am Listening Out There:

Wild Neil - IMO, WFMU should name, say, a restroom soap dispenser in your honor. Ken, whaddaya say...?

11:07am F8F8 (:

(Murakami Whywolf))),

Yes. I know what you mean. For instance, I haven't seen the new edition of Blade Runner but I have read that it tells you more about our times than the future it is supposed to portray. This is why the future is not what it used to be anymore!

♥ 11:09am northguineahills:

Digging this Papadox, new to me!

11:12am Brendan:

I’m traveling to the future tomorrow and I don’t have a thing to wear.

Smells like scheisseflote!

'Even A Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk & Rock 1969-1973 (V/a) '

Yes, people. The Japanese hippies were ahead of their time in terms of treehugging.

♥ 11:14am AnAnonymousParty:

@Brendan. It's OK. In the future you don't have to wear anything.

11:15am The Doctor:

That's not true, you have to wear a ridiculously long scarf.

♥ 11:16am steveo:

this shelley duvall gets me everytime

They apparently downloaded the kill signal. No more Eagles on satellite radio for a while, until the next free trial.

"I can hear the voices of the fishes go bananas in the sea" - great lyric

Don Felder is playing in Atlantic City in March...

♥ 11:19am People Like Us:

where the hell did that green screen gif come from?

11:19am F8F8 (:

pocket vito,

When you aren't a native English speaker most lyrics of most English songs seem to say things like "I can hear the voices of the fishes go bananas in the sea". We just make the words up when we don't understand what we hear. It's like the song 'Alice The Seal' (Our lips are sealed').

11:19am djsheilab:

Loved this set!

♥ 11:19am Lixiviated Life:

I do not understand Japanese.

♥ 11:20am Guido from Cologne:

... but sometimes, I hear the voices of the fishes go bananas in the sea.

♥ 11:21am steveo:

spankyflop how big a venue?

♥ 11:25am steveo:

@peoplelike "behind-the-scenes video from 2006 film Superman Returns" according to www.dailymail.co.uk...

♥ 11:25am People Like Us:

oh thank you

11:26am Brendan:

Wait which is it naked or a long scarf? If its a toss up id go naked. Long scarfs are dangerous- at least in the past. Just ask Isadora Duncan...oh wait you can’t - she’s dead . Thanks murderous long scarf. Im a guessing naked is the way of the future.

11:26am F8F8 (:

I think it is time, Ken, to know that the 'nh' in Apanhador is pronounced like the Spanish 'ñ'.It doesn't bothers me but I can't help think of all the Portuguese and Brazilians listening to the show laughing their asses off on their desks.By the way, Ken's Spanish pronounciation is good.

@fofo: I'm a native English speaker, and I never understand lyrics as words, so I make them up just the same of what I think I hear.

♥ 11:27am Spankyflop:

At the Borgata.

♥ 11:28am northguineahills:

Pairing the BBs w/ Manson, apropos considering the Dennis Wilson connection.

♥ 11:28am pocket vito:

Yeah, that h is there for a reason, so work it.

11:28am Wild Neil:

The Borgata has a club inside it (its like a mall of clubs) that has rock bands playing 24 hours a day and I think 7 days a week!

♥ 11:28am Spankyflop:

At the Music Box I think. I saw Elvis Costello there once. It's a decent size.

♥ 11:29am Lixiviated Life:

@northguineahills @fofo I am a native English speaker and find that what most of us have to say would be better left unsaid.

♥ 11:31am AnAnonymousParty:

@Brendan: Either way you go, just be sure to bring along a towel.

11:31am Wild Neil:

@Ken-what is up for 7sd tonight?

11:32am Bill W:

I saw Chris Elliott do "I Am I Said" at one of the Yo La Tengo Hannukah shows at Maxwells. He went for it.

♥ 11:32am steveo:

if you don't have a partner grab a wooden chair

11:32am Listening Out There:

@northguineahills: With that connection in mind, maybe the next tune should be from Doris Day...

♥ 11:33am Sem:

Bill Mac in the house?

♥ 11:34am Webhamster Henry:

Ooh I thought this was Clay Pigeon!

11:34am F8F8 (:

Someone told me Killdozer has a good song about a dog. Not sure which one.

P.D. BILLY NAYERRRR!!!!

♥ 11:36am AnAnonymousParty:

This sounds like Mutt and Smutt.

♥ 11:37am northguineahills:

W000!!! Clay Classix!

♥ 11:37am northguineahills:

hah, Listening Out There!

11:38am F8F8 (:

I know this track is from Clay Pigeon but does he makes all the voices in the track?

11:38am Fox:

I miss That Dirty Clown.

11:39am Matt Lauer:

I want to see you out of your gingham dress.

11:39am rf:

THIS is AMAZING hooray! thx Clay

♥ 11:40am Roberto:

Cozy toilet rabbit is one of my all-time favorite gifs.

11:40am queems:

amazing

11:40am Okasa:

Wow, so nice. I've been listening to Clay in the AM but never heard this stuff. Crazy good.

♥ 11:40am steveo:

yeah this is great

11:41am Paul In Bloomfield:

awesome

♥ 11:41am NotARealDoctor:

Good god, these Clay Pigeon Operas are fantastic. They remind me of Opera Days on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood with John Reardon.

♥ 11:43am AnAnonymousParty:

Can we hear "Gingham Style"?

11:43am F8F8 (:

Clay Pigeon's song writing reminds me of magic realism. If he wanted to he could become the next Gabriel Garcia Marquez of the folk song.

11:44am Brendan:

Yea! Play some Mr Rogers Mr Ken! Please? (Garden of Your Mind remix)

♥ 11:45am -Ken:

I tried to present Gigham Dress for the stage at Monty Hall, but Clay Pigeon pulled the plug on the productin.. maybe someday. I wanted to play the Father with the Sackfull of Eyes.

11:46am Wild Neil:

Ken, Clay is really doing a stellar job with wake n bake. He is so darn funny!

11:48am Brendan:

Damn I didn’t catch Clay’s school lunch schedule this week. It almost time to crash the lunch line .

11:49am Wild Neil:

I ache for the girl in the Deerhoof song...dancing in front of the steering wheel....Wow!

11:53am djsheilab:

It's a Wednesday morning Japanese girl-pop extravaganza!

11:53am Brad1976:

WILD

♥ 11:53am -Ken:

Wild Neil, please stop aching in public.

♥ 11:54am medson:

Gingham Dress is perfect for the stage

11:55am Tim 07030:

'I Don't Drink, etc' was written and originally performed by Brenda Kahn. I used to work with Brenda, she was (and I assume still is) very nice. That is all.

♥ 11:56am People Like Us:

great show Ken

11:57am Tim 07030:

Oops I meant 'I Don't SLEEP'

♥ 11:57am northguineahills:

Thanks Ken, and yes, if I was still in NYC, I'd pay to see Clay's operas as plays!

11:58am Brendan:

Amen Ken. Thanks for helping me tune in and space out .

♥ 11:59am steveo:

we drove by the old (current) billboard on Thanksgiving -- my spouse pronounced it "horrific"

♥ 11:59am steveo:

thanks -- fun and good show

♥ 11:59am NotARealDoctor:

Sounds like that insurance might come in handy tonight...

♥ 11:59am melinda:

Great show!

11:59am F8F8 (:

12:00pm Wild Neil:

♥ 12:00pm -Ken:

Bye everybody!!

12:00pm rbx:

12:01pm bobo:
