I believe that a "wurst gegangen" would be a missing sausage (Where has my sausage gone?)

Hey, there's any idea! I'll market a line of lapel buttons that say "Motelli Skronkle Is a Group".

Allegra is great, is my favourite of the antihystamines! And it really doesn't make you psychotic at all!
Wed. 10/10/07 9:41am
From:
Jack
God Bless Coffee!
Ken, the Alleve doesn't mess up your stomach? The Fluticasone Proprianate is one of my favorite nasal sprays (and smells so good). I'm on Sudafed, Zertec, Vospire(albuterol) and various inhalers (I got asthma bad and it's rainy today)
Wed. 10/10/07 9:42am

From:
lonnie
no ken, i meant the band iran (mid to late '90s noise rock band). it's kind of a stumper, but i've had a real problem finding their records, and i didn't save the stuff i downloaded from audiogalaxy so many years ago. oolanbator's pretty tight, though.

I know the Jesus Christ Superstar thing is so last year, so how about some Godspell? In a language other than English, of course.
Wed. 10/10/07 10:10am

With all the talk of wurst, how about Meat Puppets? or Rammstein's Weisses Fleisch?
Wed. 10/10/07 10:12am

The Arthur Brown sample in that Oolanbator song reminded me that the God of Hellfire recently set himself ablaze: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/sussex/6973426.stm

Did anyone see Meat Puppets play at Luna Lounge several weeks back? The original bassist is back and looks like an old crackhead and flails about in a way that must be seen. Incredible!
Wed. 10/10/07 10:41am

this is awesome what you're pplaying right here.
Wed. 10/10/07 10:44am
From:

meat puppets' bassist cris (or is it kurt?) kirkwood has lead quite the interesting life. look it up some time; old crackhead isn't too far off the mark.
Wed. 10/10/07 10:46am
From:

the juicy panic track sounded like a liberal take on the flashdance ost theme song.
Wed. 10/10/07 10:46am

Simply the best classical music on jaw harp of any station around!
Wed. 10/10/07 10:47am
From:
Dickdong.
Once again you are talking over Albrectsberger Concerto for Jew's Harp. I can't tell you how frustrating this is. It's a true rarity, we should hear more of it.
Wed. 10/10/07 10:48am
From:
Trip G
Yes, I believe one of the Kirkwood bros. was shot a year or so ago in a skirmish with a security guard. Quite the characters! I first heard "Up on the Sun" when Ken played it during a 2004 show, one of his superb Summery Pop shows, my fave style show of his.

From:

Wow. I just googled the Cris Kirkwood story. He's 47 but looks 67. His wife died from heroin. It's incredible seeing pictures of him when he was young. The Meat Puppets are playing the grossly new-refurbished Lion's Den (!) as part of CMJ soon.... highly recommended!

The Bush remix is doubly funny b.c I just finished the recent biography on Dear Leader by Draper. And by "funny," I mean I'm weeping under my desk.

just yesterday my grass salesman was telling me that he never gets into politics or religion because it's never very interesting or fruitful what other people believe. he should have listened to this block of ken's show. or at least given me the weed for free. and you're right laurie, "lesbians from russia" is very fitting. how about some bongwater
Wed. 10/10/07 11:20am
From:
Listener Dave from NH
Arthur Russell and David Darling in one show - what about Tom Cora for a trifecta of modern cellists?
You played Tom Cora + The Ex's "State of Shock" on your show a few years back and that got me started on hunting down everything by The Ex that I could. Even having seen them play it in concert, I don't think it's possible to play that song too loud.
Wed. 10/10/07 11:22am
From:
Lukas
Actually, Tom Cora was on the Curlew track Ken just played.
Wed. 10/10/07 11:24am

Fuck your weed salesman, Lonnie. He's just a bore, more than likely....
Wed. 10/10/07 11:30am
From:

The Ex (with or without Cora) is the best live performance there is, hands down...in my opinion.
Wed. 10/10/07 11:35am
From:
Doug
If you're listing imporatant modern cellists, you can't stop at three. Eric Friedlander, Abdul Wadud, John Contreras, Hans Buetow, Charlotte Moorman, Tristan Honsinger, etc., etc. all should be checked. Cellos rule!

how about "If Reagan played disco" or would that be too much minutemen?
and according to amazon "these eyes are berries" is the title of the mum song.

From:
Listener Dave from NH
Oh snap - I've been out cello nerd'd! I'll have to get on my Google game and find out what all albums by those other cats are worth hunting down. Thanks for the tips.
The Ex does put on a hell of a show, but best ever is a bold statement.
Thanks for the link to the RIAA tracks!

Simply Saucer is playing a show for you? First of all the fact that these guys are even known outside of Ontario (where I am) amazes me .... that they're still around is even weirder ... but cool.
