Danged For All Time: Ken's show

Listener comments!

6:17am cory:

morning all

♥ 6:19am -Ken:

morning cory

♥ 6:21am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Good morning.

♥ 6:24am -Ken:

Hi Murakami - another long night?

♥ 6:26am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Wow, the last time I was ever in the presence of a living grandparent, we were outside a newsagent's/toy-store, and I was asking my mother to get me a SixFinger.

♥ 6:36am (Murakami Whywolf))):

No, I often wake around now, then fall asleep again because it's far too early, just like famed boxer Ken Clean Air-Machine. Given my druthers, I _would_ sleep from around now until 16:00, but I'd rather not get out-of-synch with my wife…whom the cats usually wake in about an hour from now.

♥ 6:37am -Ken:

What era was the Sixfinger toy?

6:50am cory:

1965 on the Sixfinger
www.samstoybox.com...

6:54am cory:

i just wonder how many moms and dads borrowed that toy

♥ 7:28am -Ken:

I want one

7:33am cory:

there's two on ebay

8:03am f؂f؂ (:

Hello, Ken, cory, Murakami!

♥ 8:32am -Ken:

How much Cory?

♥ 8:32am -Ken:

HELLO f0f0!

8:34am Listener Robert:

No matter how you spin it, analysis of the vibes says you're going to hit a wall soon and repeatedly. No matter how you monkey with that, it won't wash off. So truck on down to the dance with it on your hip, put its head on a pike, put your own head under a fancy hat, and go digital. The person next to you will notice, but stay free swinging and it'll be your secret weapon.

8:35am cory:

like 20-25 bucks
hi fofo

8:37am Listener Robert:

Has Sixfinger even kept up with inflation, then?

How did I ever get along with 5?

♥ 8:47am -Ken:

Buy it for me cory?

8:51am Listener Robert:

Don't do it, Cory! -Ken will oppress staffers, shining the light in their eyes, shooting the bombs and rockets at them, passing notes with rumors about them via the secret compartment...WFMU will be HELL!

8:53am cory:

no ken, i'm not buying you a sextoy.

♥ 8:57am -Ken:

Damn You, Cory. Damn you and your shameless integrity to HECK

8:58am cory:

screw integrity, i'm angling for nudes

♥ 9:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning, Station Manager Ken and Kennonites.

9:00am Linda Lee:

good morning Ken!

♥ 9:02am Roberto:

Unschertain Schmile niiiiiiiice

9:02am Chris from DC:

Oh yay, The The

♥ 9:02am Nick S.:

Good morning, Ken! I love this song.

9:03am jess:

I love this song

9:03am Linda Lee:

if that's a sextoy, you've got a better imagination than i.

9:03am Mayor Frank:

Good day Sir Ken and devotees. What did the one snowman say to the other snowman? "Do you smell carrots?"

9:03am Sam:

Amazing show so far

♥ 9:04am AnAnonymousParty:

GM all, sorry I'm late, got sidetracked playing with radios.

9:05am Sam:

If every person on earth was a cop, there would be no crime

♥ 9:05am Jeezy:

Ooooh... this has the makings of a classic Ken Summer Show, like that time in 2010 with Mercury Girl, Que Vida! and You Didn't Have to be So Nice....

9:05am Linda Lee:

Sam ~ there'd be nothing but! :-D

9:05am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I saw The The in the early 90's and totally did not appreciate Johnny Marr. I am sorry! So sorry! My overton window for music was barely cracked open at that point. Bad Wild Neil circa 1990!

♥ 9:06am AnAnonymousParty:

If every person on earth was a cop. that would be a crime.

9:08am Linda Lee:

in a sense, most everyone is. the people who are not, run afoul of the rest.

9:08am ?:

The The is problematic for Spanish translators everywhere. how are we suppose to translate it? El El? La La? Lo Lo?

9:09am D. Lightfoot:

As long as everyone is persecuting everyone else, justice will be done

♥ 9:09am northguineahills:

@?: Si!

9:09am Sam:

Well of course there'd be tons of crime, but not "technically" because they'd all be let off the hook. Or else they'd all just open fire on each other.

9:10am Chris from DC:

Uncertain ending.

9:10am glenn:

forget the six finger. go for the accommodator.

9:11am Linda Lee:

if 'crime' is determined by culture, the only actual crime in a world of cops might be not being one.

♥ 9:11am zopa:

And so the descent into madness begins!

9:12am Sam:

Yay, the descent into madness! Really hits the spot.

9:12am Linda Lee:

also, if everyone's a cop there's no one to prosecute.

♥ 9:13am AnAnonymousParty:

So was The The always The The, or were they originally just the The but had to change it to The The after discovering that there was another The?

9:14am Linda Lee:

'course some of them choose to be cop, attorney, judge, jury & executioner in a matter of a few moments.

♥ 9:14am Jeezy:

All joking and joviality aside... Isn't it time we addressed the big elephant in the room here today? Haven't we been sheep for long enough?!?! Well, I say... NO MORE! It's time to FIGHT! I propose action, once and for all, to stop this injustice! Everyone, here on out, join me and... BOYCOTT ALL COMMENTS IN THE CHAT ROOM UNTIL WE GET THE ABILITIY TO POST EMOTICONS, AS IS OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT AS AMERICANS!

♥ 9:15am Jeezy:

We can start there and slowly scale up to leaving weird animal carcasses on Ken's car until we achieve our objective. WHO'S WITH ME?!

♥ 9:15am AnAnonymousParty:

Oops, meant to say "had to change it to the The The". Sorry if I confused anyone.

♥ 9:16am Phillippe Bastille:

good morning everyone

9:16am Sam:

I appreciate this being an emoticon free zone. Those things are annoying.

9:16am f؂f؂ (:

Good point, The AnAnonymousParty,

9:16am Linda Lee:

Jeezy, everyone knows emoticons are used strictly on a commercial basis .. & last i heard FMU is non-commercial.

♥ 9:16am Phillippe Bastille:

@Jeezy :-)

♥ 9:17am Jeezy:

Drat, Linda. OK, I hear ya... LET"S GET THOSE COMMERCIALS ADDED IN PRONTO, KEN!

9:17am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I knew an artist named Robert The. Well, he called himself that. I mean the. He made a necklace for Marta Vi that was just capital letter "I". He was a pretty cool dude. We watched a movie borrowed from the NYC library of fast cars. That was fun.

♥ 9:18am Jeezy:

@ Phillippe, I need a broader palette, dangit!

9:19am f؂f؂ (:

◕ ‿ ◕

9:19am Linda Lee:

honestly, can't wait. "You've been listening to Miracle Nutrition, brought to you by Monsanto."

9:20am glenn:

monsanto's now bayer, but still.

9:21am Johnzon:

Morning Ken & Ken Dolls everywhere!

9:21am f؂f؂ (:

My face when listening to Ken's show: ﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿

9:21am Mayor Frank:

t(**t)

9:21am Linda Lee:

"This is Seven Second Delay, brought to you by Pfizer, makers of Viagra."

9:22am Wild Neil||Peace All:

It is impossible to write The The in Polish because they do not have a word equivalent to The. I think. Maybe This This (To To) or That That (Ten Ten) but I don't think you can write The The.

9:22am Linda Lee:

wait, are we not the Ken-sluts?

♥ 9:23am Jeezy:

Haha, well played, Linda...

9:23am f؂f؂ (:

In Russian, Wild Neil, The The is translated as .

Yes! Two blank spaces! there's no The article.

♥ 9:23am northguineahills:

@WN: Yeah, most Slavic languages lack the equivalent of the said article of the noun.

9:24am f؂f؂ (:

That would explain why The The was never popular in Slavic countries. No one could ever Google them. They were the quintessential unknown unknowns.

9:24am Johnzon:

how ever is this/that Official WFMU Polish translator going to translate this comments board into Polish?! (Im really upset about the)

9:25am Linda Lee:

don't think Stashu is in the studio today..

9:25am Johnzon:

Reggae Schoolroom brought to you by zigzag

♥ 9:26am melinda:

Morning everyone

9:26am Linda Lee:

do they let zigzag advertise? :-)

9:26am Linda Lee:

oh thank god! hi melinda! :-D

9:27am Johnzon:

Shut Up Weirdo brought to you by Murdoch Newscorp.(or whatever it's called)

♥ 9:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

♫♬♪ （╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

♥ 9:27am steveo:

jak to się dzieje, że oficjalny polski tłumacz WFMU przetłumaczy tę tablicę komentarzy na język polski ?! (Jestem naprawdę zaniepokojony)

9:27am Linda Lee:

ha! good one. yes, NewsCorpse.

9:28am glenn:

the the was around about 25 years before google ever happened.

9:29am morphe:

Sounds a bit Blues Magoos today ??? Actually listening live ..too hot in the 1527 Madrid noonday sun. Picked flowers with Simon instaed of playing football. Thanks for spinning Kenneth. What is the frequency????

9:30am Johnzon:

and by happened you mean crawled out of a chasm that opened up from the depths of Hades?

♥ 9:30am melinda:

hi Linda!

♥ 9:31am lane:

♫꒰･◡･๑꒱ goooo morning

9:31am Sam:

Live from the Wells Fargo Masturbatorium, it's Andy Pepsi Breckman and his only friend Ken Chipotle Freedman!

9:31am Linda Lee:

like the idea of anagrams of Dad's name as your own. mine could be Truc!

♥ 9:32am Ken From Hyde Park:

What band comes in second place, X?

9:32am Linda Lee:

lol Sam. that's funny.

♥ 9:33am adampsyche:

the wiki page for the the was the first result for just typing the the into google

9:33am glenn:

your dad's name was ruct? that's awesome.

9:33am Linda Lee:

no babe. :-D

9:34am D. Lightfoot:

curt

♥ 9:34am lane:

@Linda Lee really loving "The Ken-Sluts"

♥ 9:34am ɛɨk:

I'm forced to object. The The is NOT un-googleable at all, as long as you use the semi-advanced googling method of putting "The The" in quotes. I'd say the band Fuck is much less googleable! And isn't there a band called You? Or is that a Lifetime TV series?

9:34am Johnzon:

DuckDuckGo should sponsor WFMU and they should Change their name to MoondogMoondogYea!!
OK Im done!

9:34am Linda Lee:

we're so fabulosen, after all. don't you agree?

9:37am f؂f؂ (:

Well, you Linda Lee! You are a Fabulosen! I'm just a simple Kenschlampen.

9:38am morphe:

circle x (Graphic not spelled) might be the most difficult to find... ??? Worked with them at the original Barnes and Nobles 1979 5th ave. Pretentious twits. went to France for 2 weeks and pretended to be French. Dipshits .. the good luck was BADBrains working there too!!! What a lovely contrast!!!

9:38am Sam:

Perhaps we are all fabulosen but some of us are more fabulosen than others?

9:39am Linda Lee:

yes. Dad's name was Curt. an incredible guy, too. one of a half dozen disabled small-engine pilots in the US. no legs below the thigh.

♥ 9:39am Phillippe Bastille:

Ken's Show, brought to you by Degree for Men (Eureka reference -- and sorry I fell behind. Went for coffee...)

9:39am Linda Lee:

thanks, F0f0! but we're all fabulosen in here.

9:40am Sam:

Brought to you by Geritol

9:40am Linda Lee:

Degree for Men? :-D

9:40am Melba Toast:

That first song by The The was cool...Thanks, Station Manager, Ken.

9:41am f؂f؂ (:

I think one of the most difficult bands to Google is 'ttttttttttttttttttttt'. But simple because how the heck we are supposed to remember how many t's there are?

♥ 9:41am Phillippe Bastille:

@sam most likely

9:41am Linda Lee:

you could even have sponsorship per show from the appropriate medication ..

9:42am D. Lightfoot:

I get all my ceramic dogs at the Goodwill

♥ 9:42am AnAnonymousParty:

@f؂f؂: "I'm an anonymous party" came from an old Bob and Ray bit, so , as there was already the anonymous party, I have to remain an anonymous party.

9:43am f؂f؂ (:

Another favourite band to google: Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum.

Don't even try to Google their album 'Prajecyrujučy Sinhuliarnaje Wypramieńwańnie Daktryny Absaliutnaha J Usiopahłynaĺnaha Zła Skroź Šaścihrannuju Pryzmu Sîn-Ahhī-Erība Na Hipierpawierchniu Zadyjakaĺnaha Kaŭčęha Zasnawaĺnikaŭ Kosmatęchničnaha Ordęna Palieakantakta, Najstaražytnyja Ipastasi Dawosiewych Cywilizacyj Prywodziać U Ruch Ręzanansny Transfarmatar Časowapadobnaj Biaskoncaści Budučyni U Ćwiardyniach Absierwatoryi Nwn-Hu-Kek-Amon, Uwasabliajučy Ŭ Ęfirnuju Matęryju Prach Ałulima Na Zachad Ad Ękzapłaniety PSRB 1620-26b. because your keyboard may run out of letters'

♥ 9:43am -Ken:

Wow, I thtand correckted - times have changed and The The is now highly googleable. They must pass the baton to Duran Duran Duran or Donna Summer (the man) or somebody

9:43am Linda Lee:

i just got a ceramic elephant at our local animal rescue thrift shop! all the dogs were larger.

9:44am f؂f؂ (:

Ha! I mean to say: 'Prajecyrujučy Sinhuliarnaje Wypramieńwańnie Daktryny Absaliutnaha J Usiopahłynaĺnaha Zła Skroź Šaścihrannuju Pryzmu Sîn-Ahhī-Erība Na Hipierpawierchniu Zadyjakaĺnaha Kaŭčęha Zasnawaĺnikaŭ Kosmatęchničnaha Ordęna Palieakantakta, Najstaražytnyja Ipastasi Dawosiewych Cywilizacyj Prywodziać U Ruch Ręzanansny Transfarmatar Časowapadobnaj Biaskoncaści Budučyni U Ćwiardyniach Absierwatoryi Nwn-Hu-Kek-Amon, Uwasabliajučy Ŭ Ęfirnuju Matęryju Prach Ałulima Na Zachad Ad Ękzapłaniety PSRB 1620-26b.'

Oster and Cuisinart are vying for the rights to Bryce's show.

i'm going back to the store next week for the deer, antlery..

9:47am jt:

Yeah, what is the "product' Ken is selling?
Is this a commercial? If it isn't it will be someday.

9:47am f؂f؂ (:

Cubano Saucer!! The best song with lyrical typos everywhere ever!

9:48am Linda Lee:

aha! yes. very good.

9:50am f؂f؂ (:

So is AnAnAnonymousParty available?

♥ 9:50am ⓘⓚⓔ:

Oh and apparently there is a top-40 group called The Internet. That's pretty ungoogleable.

9:50am JakeGould:

Hey Ken!

9:51am JakeGould:

The number 8 is important.

♥ 9:52am melinda:

@Sam "Wells Fargo Masturbatorium" hahaha

9:55am f؂f؂ (:

Talking about ungoogleables. I think the band 'How Do I Make a Jihad Bomb' made a terrible marketing mistake.

♥ 9:56am Devin B.:

I have a few CDs by a noise group called Al Qaeda

9:57am JakeGould:

Trump’s mom made amazing turkey in 8 hours!
Manafort found guilty on 8 counts!
Cohen pleads guilty on 8 counts!
Dude is behind the 8 ball!

♥ 9:58am Megaroni:

Yeah bring on that Mars energy!

♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

How's come there isn't a WFMU TV show that one could watch on the telly? Interviews, Monty Hall footage and such. I'd tune in to that.

10:00am The The:

OK, so here's the scoop: We were originally just the The. Then we did a 'battle of the bands' and there was another The that showed up. So we changed our name to The Original The. But, the other band claimed that they were the original The first and changed their name to The Original Original The, so we changed our name again to the The New Original The. As it turned out, the The Original The sucked and we beat them out of competition and they broke up a week later. But then our keyboard player quit and we ended up getting the keyboard player from the The Original The and we went by The Old Original The for awhile until we just went with the The The because we couldn't fit The Old Original The logo on the kick drum and the drummer couldn't afford a second kick drum, and his car was too small to haul another one anyway.

10:00am Linda Lee:

so .. very best case scenario we lose Trump & get Pence? gee. we'll have to pay for a new closet.

♥ 10:01am -Ken:

@KenfromHP - there is one, it's on Roku TV.

10:01am JakeGould:

Tha GIF reminds me: Grimes looks terrible since dating Elon Miusk.

♥ 10:02am Passaic River Blues:

@Ken: On my Roku there is a WFMU channel with some videos of Monty Hall performances. Some months back I showed my wife video of the Mary Lattimore show.

10:02am JakeGould:

Also, all of this Trump news is happening… DURING THE 8TH MONTH OF THE YEAR!!!

♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park:

@-Ken, @PRB - Oh poo, I don't have Roku. I must investigate that. Thanks.

♥ 10:03am peapod ross:

there's a WFMU YouTube too. And a Hearty White YouTube - that's very good!

10:04am f؂f؂ (:

The The,

That is THE best band name genesis story ever.

10:05am Rocky Horror:

I have the WFMU ROKU app. It is great

♥ 10:06am ratso:

This song is Bout De Toi, not Baby Only You and I.

♥ 10:06am Yvang:

Je veux t'embrasser (I want to kiss you...) contre ton gré (against your will) : this is a case of Goat Alarm!

10:06am JakeGould:

Start a new show: “The The: Talk Talk”aAlso, all of this Trump news is happening… DURING THE 8TH MONTH OF THE YEAR!!!

10:06am f؂f؂ (:

Not only that JakeGould! You posted your last comment at 10:02 (10 minus 2 = 8!!!)

10:06am JakeGould:

Oops! It should just be: Start a new show: “The The: Talk Talk”

♥ 10:07am melinda:

@peapod yes, HW has lots of vids, some of them pre-FMU! There's also the WFMU Vimeo channel.

10:08am JakeGould:

@f؂f؂ (: Wowowowowowowowowow!!! I AM INVESTING IN 8!!!

♥ 10:08am peapod ross:

oh thanks - I'll have to check out the Vimeo.

♥ 10:09am ratso:

NO WE DID NOT HEAR THE TITLE TRACK.

♥ 10:09am melinda:

I've been meaning to look for Skeptech vids on Vimeo, reading Jon Ronson lately and want to hear his contributions there (as well as everyone else).

♥ 10:10am steveo:

are the goofy marathon skits still on the roku channel? i haven't looked for a while

10:10am mb:

I missed the Ceramic Dog, big time

If you put “the the” in quotes for search, it comes up

♥ 10:13am melinda:

@Henry he's great in interviews I've heard and watched, wish I lived close enough to attend Monty Hall events like that.

10:14am JakeGould:

I hear if you put “The The” in quotes something happens.

I just found the most ungoogleable band name ever WITH OR WITHOUT QUOTES! it returns ZERO search results!! I'm not making it up!

It's "" (quotes quotes). Try it:! "Your search did not match any documents"

Lots of Werner Herzog today.

♥ 10:21am melinda:

I bet mine are higher than everybody's.

10:23am Kat in Chicago:

I sprained my ankle yesterday within hours of arriving in Montreal for a week’s visit, and it’s comforting to hear Ken on my lil Bluetooth speaker while I put off actually having to stand up and walk. It would be cool if the Airbnb actually had a radio so I could check out college stations, but yay for the WFMU app.

10:23am JakeGould:

@-Ken: Challenge Pete Doherty to a cholesterol level competition! Get him to eat a pile of Taylor ham for WFMU!

♥ 10:23am -Ken:

@Kat @Melinda, Im going to count to three and then lets all post our overall cholesterol. Who's in?

10:23am Linda Lee:

really sorry about that, Kat. rest up.

It is fine.

10:24am mikeee:

10:24am JakeGould:

@KatinChicago: Oh man! Rolling an ankle stinks. Lots of reset and all that. Get well.

10:25am Kat in Chicago:

@Ken I’m on a low-everything diet because my levels of everything are borderline at best. Last blood work was better though, so I will have poutine and smoked meat at least once on vacation

♥ 10:25am βrian:

RICE for sprained ankles. Rest, ice, compression, elevation.

♥ 10:27am -Ken:

@mikee 170?! You gotta be kidding me. I DREAM about having a cholesterol count of 170.

♥ 10:27am βrian:

Poutine sounds like a pet name for a paramour.

10:28am JakeGould:

@-Ken: Stop eating a bucket of fat each morning.

♥ 10:28am zopa:

c'mon SMK.

10:28am Kat in Chicago:

@Brian it totally does

♥ 10:30am Phillippe Bastille:

@adam never mind. I just googled it

10:30am JakeGould:

I think mine his 190 or something. What should I do to raise it?

♥ 10:30am Webhamster Henry:

I often think of Van Peebles' "Coolest Place in Town"

♥ 10:30am ratso:

10:30am f؂f؂ (:

Thank goodness, βrian!!

I always thought the key to treat a sprained ankle recovery was eating rice! No wonder why my foot is upside down after all these years!

That was the LDL. I don’t have the password with me for my results online, haha

10:31am wfmu listener phillip:

hey my cholesterol is 144. and my A1C is 6.2

♥ 10:32am Passaic River Blues:

@Kat: you have certainly earned a spot of poutine, a bag of beigels, and a pile of smoked meat.

No one will help us.

10:38am Kat in Chicago:

The bagels thing is so weird to me. But I had a smoked meat bagel at the airport when I was leaving here last year, and it was one of the two best things I’ve ever eaten in an airport. (The other one is the eggs Benedict at Publican Tavern at O’Hare.)

I wrecked my guts on Friday thanks to bagels. A coworker was leaving so we had a company bagel breakfast. The bagels were so thick. You know how goopy and doughy? Even when I took small bits off of to and fed them to sparrows, the damned birds were clearly struggling to eat that goopy stuff.

Klaus made my darn day, Ken. thank you!

Thanks Ken ...I shook Klaus's hand once in 1980??? at a club called DRUMS??? Queensboro bridge.. I told him it was like touching a cloud. The only softr hand I ever touched was Quentin Crisps lovely hand on 3rd street. My wee children had soft, soft paws...

@PRB - Quinn's is a blast. One side is a ramen restaurant. The stage is small (smaller than M.H.) and they pass around a box to collect the cover charge ($10 suggested). Big Blood only played for one hour; went by too quickly.

11:15am Linda Lee:

a positive experience for *everyone else* Ken. see what happens?

Ken hides from potential record fair riot disasters. This has been a broadcast of the emergency warning system.

Ken was also scared of Laurice's looks back in the day when there was only one or two pictures of him on the internet.

11:18am pulp:

I think there's a mistake. Vive la fête is not by Noir Desir. Vive la fête is the name of the band (if I remember well).

11:26am JakeGould:

Yeah, I want Kelly Jones and Andy Breakman to both eat a big breakfast. But in Kelly Jones case, she should just shove her big breakfast onto Andy Breckman’s plate and call it a day.

♥ 11:26am Ike:

Me too @PLU but Kelly Jones is entertaining enough that you don't even need Andy. If she's there today, NEW episode! Pair her with literally anybody!

♥ 11:27am Carmichael:

Kelly and X-Ray could open for GWAR. That's how cool they are.

I like Kelly and Andy together too

I'd like to see what would happen if both Kenny Gs were in the same room. Would they immediately annihilate each other, or begin orbiting a center point before spiraling in and merging to form some new exotic form of matter or weird black hole?

Pulp, people,

When the BIG BOSS (i.e. Ken) says blue is orange, you have to understand BLUE IS ORANGE. No questions asked. So when BB says Noir Desir IS the name of the band, then Noir Desir becomes the band!
