7:50am f↔f↔ (:

Hola Ken and people!

Let me guess what you have with you today, Ken...It's the 24-karat gold, high-fidelity CD edition of the glorious album Tales from a Topographic Ocean! I cannot think of any other record that can make anyone's a nice day. Even Rick Wakeman likes it a little.

8:09am Dr. Goot:

M-M-Morning!

🚽

8:35am Ken:

Oh boy oh boy, I need requests and suggestions people. Nobody's even close with the amazing thing I have with me. I do have vicodin with me, but that's not special.

8:41am Dr. Goot:

A train whistle?

🚽

8:43am Ken:

OK, a hint: its music.

8:43am w41:

A whoopee cushion?

9:02am common:

vicodin is special.

9:02am Okasa:

Hai! Hai!

9:03am f↔f↔ (:

9:10am dale:

www.gifbin.com...

9:10am BDR:

Holycrap, this Nanao Tavito, when did Kate Bush learn Japanese and change her name?

9:10am f↔f↔ (:

A GIF of the Swiss cheese pervert is what this page really needs.

9:11am BDR:

Or did she change her name to Akiko Yano?

9:11am common:

dale...that's great!

9:12am fred:

@BDR: That was Akiko Yano, I even have that record somewhere, though I haven't listened to it in years

9:12am jan:

The Japanese theme you have going on this morning is a great beginning to the show. I request that you carry on with this vein. Your introduction of Japanese music to your audience has been well appreciated by this listener.

9:14am Chris - echolalia radio:

Hey Ken. Dropped by and listened in. What's the topics on the board today ? Farts?!? I knew a guy who farted once :)

9:14am maestroso:

Seconded, Jan. If you played some Kokia or Yoko Ueno I think it would be a first for WFMU.

9:15am thedunkel:

Hi Ken! Hi Kenners!

9:18am Chris - echolalia radio:

I agree with @jan great sounds

9:19am ach:

I went to Japan to have seven prosthetic ears added to various part of my body so I could listen to this show in full resolution.

9:19am jan:

Ken- How about some Pizzicato Five Burt Bachrach covers?

9:19am doca:

🚽

9:26am Guido (Cologne):

9:30am maestroso:

Argh! I missed Jun Togawa! Stupid phone calls...

9:31am maestroso:

And Yoko Ueno!!!

9:31am f↔f↔ (:

What about that guy in China that got his amputated hand temporarily attached next to his foot in order to save it? If that man is listening to this show now I bet he is applauding with joy with both hand and foot to the awesomeness of this show.

9:32am SeanG:

yolo

9:32am maestroso:

Thanks for playing Yoko, Ken. To the archives!

9:33am maestroso:

Wait, Yoko Ueno is the name of the song?

9:34am f↔f↔ (:

That's what F. Hollande listens to whilst seating in the back of a scooter driving the Champ Elyses.

9:34am Lizardner Dave:

In a bizarre coincidence I just listened to the SSD archive from the record fair yesterday.

9:36am jan:

wasn't it Caroline, and Kim, the two doopees?

9:36am Roberto:

My kid can't read Kanji either. Other Japanese characters, no problem.

9:37am Michael:

comma zero

9:38am bobdoesthings:

g'morning all!

9:39am Sam:

That whole title Open the morning window etc is probably just one character in Japanese.

9:41am common:

9:56am still b/p:

10:20am Okasa:

10:20am Cubicle Carl:

Engineer Jim should have his own show.

🚽

10:20am Ken:

Welcome Sri Lanka!! Where are you in Sri Lanka? Ive been tioi Kandi and Columbo.

10:22am Roberto:

I think that's the same Engineer Jim who was on Clay's show in 2012.

10:22am f↔f↔ (:

JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!

I mean, KHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

10:22am jan:

I woke up with a headache and feeling kind of sick, but still I tuned in to listen
and for the first hour, my condition improved. With Klam, I'm taking a turn to the worse.

10:23am Brendan:

Ken
All that engineering talk has my chemical log pretty stoked. Only you can ignite it by playing, in honor of your building engineer , a little diddy called Turbo Encabulator.

🚽

10:25am Ken:

Brendan, do you want the studio version, the live version, or the unplugged version of Turbo Encabulator?

10:26am fred:

Khlam to Rhys Chatham... this might be a challenging spelling themed set

10:26am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Peace be with you.

10:26am Oxycotin-eyed Gumby:

Hey Ken, Have a dental appointment and was desperate to find something to make the appointment seem pleasant by compariaoin. Thanks! Wish i could stay...REALLY wish I could.

10:27am Roberto:

I should specify, that was Clay Pigeon's show, not the Pounding System guy.

10:33am Brendan:

Ken you rock!

@oxy - my heart goes out 2 u . Im in dental hell. Btw way i always thought that if i were a dentist and was working on a patient, a cool thing to say would be "is it safe?"

10:35am Yvonne:

Rooster is EVEN cuter than the baby hippo. Nice glasses LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:36am kTTTTTTT:

those glasses !!!!!!!!!!!!!

🚽

10:37am Ken:

Gumby, stop by FMU if you want some Vicodin.

10:37am drew in Brooklyn:

Ken: FYI for the back announce, the new Khlam album is pronounced "Voodstok Everyday" -- the Cyrillic letters are actually transcribed English.

10:37am common:

rooooster! Cute!

🚽

10:38am Ken:

Hey everybody, Katy is coming to the New York Comedy Club to see my standup gig this Friday night at 9pm (241 East 24th st, NYC). Who will join her? Free T-shirts to all WFMU listeners attending.

10:38am Green Mountain Man Mark:

All of our hens are laying eggs now. Except for the Guinea hen. One of them lays double yolked eggs. The eggs are delicious. Made pickled eggs from a dozen. Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, whatever.

🚽

10:39am Ken:

Drew! Are you calling in tioi SSD tonight? You will have to be on Team Andy, but still. We need you.

10:39am common:

wish I could be there, ken.

10:39am Warm CR tube in my hand:

@Thanks Brendan. Yes, I just wish my denstist would ask: Gas, Valium or a quick unexpected shot to the temple first?

I just know I am going to be late now that I have found station manager Ken on the radio. It's like the security blanket with stains and smells I don't recognize and never had.

10:39am kTTTTTT:

10:47am kTTTTTTTT:

Who is going to be my date to Ken's standup gig Friday at 9pm (241 E24th Street)? Free WFMU T-Shirt after purchasing me two drinks!!!

10:48am P-90:

Great.show (so far) Ken! Do they take reservatons by phone at the NY Comedy Club?
BTW, personally I think the adorable pooch looks more like Geraldine than the baby hippo, but that's just one individual's perspective

10:49am YETI BOB:

I think I like the more punky, less jazzy Khlam (without the sax). And that doesn't mean I'm a jazz hater! I just think the rawer sound really works for these guys.

10:49am klahmdike 2006:

This klahmdike is giving me a migraniac. Thanks for NothiN

10:50am common:

10:54am Webhamster Henry:

This kind of goes with the Parenting Mag spoof:
andrewhearst.com...

10:57am Dan B From Upstate:

Why do I think Jim Price shooting Liz Berg is so funny? I must've listened to this archive a dozen times.

10:57am P-90:

True story: after the first time you played Khlam, 3 expensive African cichlids went belly-up in the aquarium. I thought Khlam was better in the early days, before they shaved. I prefer my Khlams bearded. Just sayin

11:02am Sem Chumbo:

Tardy but sitting in my seat now, hands folded. And for this I must listen to slow F.M.. Seems fair.

11:03am P-90:

Is this Mr. Breckman's long-promised cover of "Rhiannon?" Yay!

11:05am still b/p:

The wood's a little less fleet, and I like it.

11:05am crateslinger:

I think rooster is scared what's in your beard.

🚽

11:06am Ken:

And Ken from HP! I need you on my team tonight!

🚽

11:06am Webhamster Henry:

I was hoping you'd get to this version or Rhiannon.

🚽

11:06am Ken:

Is Andy from Berlin in the hizzouse?

11:07am YETI BOB:

the chopped-and-screwed version of "rhiannon" was great, but this version made me turn off the radio! (i'll be back though)

🚽

11:08am Webhamster Henry:

My band has "happy" and "sad" version of our songs, but we never play the happy ones.

11:09am DCE:

11:09am Mark S:

I hit the dump button twice this morning too!

11:11am YETI BOB:

Ken: Does it have a counter on it?

11:12am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Lovers' lunch?

11:12am Sem Chumbo:

I'm gonna need a smoke, and oxygen, after this.

11:13am Mark S:

11:16am jan:

Penguin Cafe Orchestra reconstituted by Dj Prince!

11:16am Carmichael:

Good morning Kenneth, and thank you for the pelvic pleasures.

11:18am P-90:

Three times so close together? After I hit the dunp button, I always have to wait about twenty minutes before hitting it again.

11:22am Thelma Blitz:

Is this the Robin Byrd show? The music is familiar.

11:22am Green Mountain Man Mark:

People can say shit on tv now I noticed. When did that become allowed.

🚽

11:23am Ken:

Must be Cable TV, Mark. Or Canadian TV,

11:24am Mark S:

Sometimes you just gotta hit the dump button

11:27am Green Mountain Man Mark:

Is Turner a cable channel?

11:27am egal:

Green Mountain Man: not on the regular networks.

🚽

11:27am Ken:

Yes it is Mark. f0f0, keep such information to youself in the future.

11:32am Rich in Washington:

There's a somewhat different, slightly longer version of Guns! at Ubuweb. It's the original version credited to just Don Joyce and was sent to non-commercial radio stations in the early 90s.

🚽

11:33am Ken:

Rich, you mean "Guns (Then)"

11:34am F€F€:

sorry ken. i was just trying to help. please delete my prevoous post if possible.

11:35am Sean D. Daily:

Well... that kid's got good trigger discipline, at least...

11:36am P-90:

@still b/p: "hammered B3" gets a gold star!

11:36am Sam:

So creepy, I love it.

🚽

11:37am Rich in Washington:

Ken: the whole thing is one piece - not the (Then)/(Now) way on the subsequent CD .
I think they put it out as a Negativland release to fulfil their contract with SST.
It was originally a commissioned piece for New American Radio.

@Ken concerning WFMU-confirmation emails

I use a strong anti-spam filter.
I find the WFMU-confirmation emails moved to the spam folder.
