12:30pm ?:

12:30pm Jed:

12:33pm risky!:

12:47pm Pearly Sweets:

iTunes is a true champ

12:48pm Carmichael:

Kenny's goin' all AOR on us ....

12:50pm Pearly Sweets:

I like to imagine there is some studio hair guitar going on right now.

12:50pm Pearly Sweets:

Air guitar too. But hair guitar sounds cooler.

12:51pm Carmichael:

Its a Wednesday Rock Block for ya, right here on W-F-M-U!!!

12:51pm Negator:

Where is your boy wonder? I think that kid that was helping you read the tax code really helped your show, Kenny. Somehow you need to get a full time child soundboard like him to bounce these ideass off of.

12:52pm Some Guy in the Audience:

Play Whipping Post!

12:53pm Pearly Sweets:

Now this is a toe tapper!

12:54pm Carmichael:

The Zappa version of Whipping Post.

12:55pm BSI:

I don't know whether to hop around in a frenzy of joy, or vomit! Awesome!

12:58pm phillip:

STOP IT! STOOOOOP ITTTTTTTT!!!! my mother just died have you no pity man!

12:59pm phillip:

YOUR TORTURING ME

1:00pm Carmichael:

We're gettin' there, Annie. Will happen about 3 pm ....

1:00pm postmanpaul:

we're all petty bourgeois now kenny, i blame it on the paradigm shift.

1:00pm Pearly Sweets:

I kinda want to jazz dance to this.

1:00pm jojo:

wow, hear that cyborg sing!! this kind of stuff makes me believe in intelligent design and that we will all be monkeys soon! (not the other way around)

1:01pm J-Mar:

You know, this very song was stuck my head just a little while ago.

1:01pm NS Andy:

Finally hitting your stride, Kenny. Nice!

1:01pm ?:

Roland Barthes- the use by date has already expired. We should be able to buy these ideas at the day old bakery outlet. I like my culture in a petri dish- fresh.

1:02pm jon:

My God! You have such a beautiful voice!

1:02pm BSI:

GOD! YESS!
I'm peeing giggling cherubs now, baby!

1:02pm risky!:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

1:02pm jon:

Rock Off, Kenny!

1:03pm ?:

Dude, just wait until he starts discussing the Brahms concerto . . . Duuuude . . .

1:04pm postmanpaul:

i knew the listener hour would eventually turn out like this one day...

1:05pm ?:

and Jakobson, man, Jakobson . . .

1:07pm BSI:

Rather like AIG, the alienation of the common man can SUCK IT!

1:07pm postmanpaul:

...not forgetting alvin toffler

1:08pm postmanpaul:

...not forgetting alvin toffler

1:09pm Carmichael:

Just don't sing the greatest hits of Marshall MacLuhan. He had too many socialist ideas. I've kept an eye on him and his descendants, just in case.

1:10pm AlizaEss:

Hee, my boss just walked up as I was listening to this :D The English major and anarcho-syndicalist in me delighted.

1:11pm BSI:

ah!
best grease band tune ever....
me head 'splode.

1:11pm phillip:

whew thank god he stopped. i was ready to put the belt around my neck and hang myself from my bathroom door

1:13pm Carmichael:

This song relies too much on melody, beat and general organization to be the Hampton Grease Band.

1:14pm NS Andy:

Yes, come to Halifax. It's nice. A bit chilly, but the health insurance is free.

1:14pm postmanpaul:

phillip - r.i.p. posthumously

1:15pm ?:

so, would Barthes agree that a discussion of gardening on the comments board is a perpetuation of petit-bourgeouis interlocutory play, exacerbating the notional dialectic of normative contestation?

1:18pm Mr. Tautology:

He might. Then again, he might not.

1:20pm AnAnonymousParty:

I just got here. Did I miss the Happening?

1:20pm Terry:

Go vaygun!

1:21pm frenchy:

Kenny G....cool it, bro!

1:21pm annie:

does this mean you're practicing vaygun-omics?

1:24pm BSI:

That Kenny Gee... a tempeh-muncher. I shoulda known.

and a lot of gravel too.
and a lot of gravel too.

1:25pm philllip:

1:31pm BSI:

1:33pm phillip:

WELL I WOUNT HEAR OF IT! I HAVE A ZUNE AND A LOVE IT, DO YA HEAR!!!!!

1:33pm jojo:

it is amazing how consistent irwin is with his Kenny G character

1:36pm ?:

Kenny, this is Schaap-tastic . . .

1:36pm phillip:

what the f is a dobro????

1:38pm bb:

a dobro is an accoustic guitar with a metal resonating board

1:38pm Peter Ostroushko:

You really have to ask?

1:39pm Jaws:

Schaap-tastic! Awesome, Riddler! Was thinking the same thing.

1:42pm postmanpaul:

please close up the line spacing between
Vito Acconci | Theme Song
and

Alllman Brothers | Blue Sky
it is disturbing me and it is sloppy.

1:43pm James Joyce:

Ah, Yes

1:48pm postmanpaul:

but now, everything is harmonious and i am at peace

1:48pm Pearly Sweets:

I want to go to sleep and this is pushing me closer and closer to hiding in my desk hammock.

1:50pm annie:

have another ginger cookie, with reed's ginger ice cream! and chocolate syrup!

1:50pm Carmichael:

I STILL have that Dokaka song going through my head.

1:51pm Pearly Sweets:

You just exploded my brain, Annie

1:52pm annie:

after i typed that i said to myself, holy shit i want some too!! and i only have a spoonfull of dough left!!

1:56pm revroth:

postmanpaul, I believe Kenny uses that spacing to indicate a set break, but I wasn't listening at the beginning--did he speak between those 2 songs?

1:58pm postmanpaul:

revroth - precisely, neither was i... so i am giving him the benefit of the doubt

1:59pm texas scott:

hey annie, pearly...is kenny and irwin the same person??

1:59pm Pearly Sweets:

He did speak before he started bringing the allman.

2:00pm only the insiders know:

for sure. and i'm sure they are sworn to secrecy

2:03pm Devin:

"Speak-singing"

2:03pm Ike:

I don't think Kenny G. and Irwin sound particularly alike. And they sure don't look alike. Kenny G. is much more handsome. Also, unlike Kenny, Irwin doesn't rub his junk up against anybody during the marathon. Although you can tell he wants to. He's just better at controlling himself.

2:05pm postmanpaul:

typographically speaking, thanks pearly sweets.

2:05pm annie:

i was gonna type something, but ike's comment is too damn funny..

2:05pm texas scott:

thanks,ike.

you insider,you!

2:05pm issac:

is it safe to say kenny g does LSD?

2:06pm BSI:

nothing about KG is safe.
....nothing...

2:07pm Ike:

Kenny G. *is* LSD.

2:07pm issac:

word up^

2:08pm Carmichael:

"Whispers" the German Constitution. Which is different, because Germans always yell.

2:08pm Pearly Sweets:

Kenny G is hardline straight edge. We are going to the Earth Crisis show this weekend.

2:09pm texas scott:

LSD = Lethargic Sleepy Drone

2:10pm issac:

seriously i feel like im in a LSD trip

2:12pm postmanpaul:

issac - i occasionally detect a 'nuage' of post lsd ennui, but that's kenny, fortunately.

2:12pm issac:

i just gave someone a piece of myself

2:13pm Carmichael:

I trip vicariously through Kenny.

2:13pm Ike:

If that's a fake moniker, then you're spelling "Isaac" incorrectly -- I've never seen "Issac" as a genuine alternate spelling. I recommend two "A"s and just one "S." But then, I'm in a bad mood. Who really cares anyway? NOTHING MATTERS. This world is an UNLIGHTED PIT of rusty, indigent DESPAIR!

2:15pm annie:

ike, take an apostrophe and sit in the corner..

2:15pm BSI:

rather like AIG, unlighted pits of rusty, indigent despair can SUCK IT!

2:15pm Pearly Sweets:

Hooray for the Residents!

2:20pm issac:

woah.. relax

2:22pm Pearly Sweets:

I <3 my Apology Line tape.

2:22pm Ike:

Dignity does not exist in this dark, dank world.

Hmmm. Clearly I need more chocolate.

2:23pm Feral Cat:

Jerk! You spilled my food and ruined my evening!

2:25pm postmanpaul:

issac, ike has a point there. notwithstanding the uncomfortable proximity exhisting between the 'a' and 's' key.

2:26pm issac:

freeform eh?

2:27pm ?:

Kenny is so calm now; his medication must be kicking in.

2:28pm annie:

nah, he's just getting ready to segue way to his irwin personality

2:31pm ?:

I dare not use my name in the listener comments panel anymore for fear that he hurl derision my way.

2:32pm Feral Cat:

More apology line!!!!!!

2:32pm Pearly Sweets:

I'd like to hear about cake.

2:32pm annie:

?- i was very scared for a couple of days. now i have no fear of this man we call kenny-g. notice i flail my dog/cookie/garden comments freely!

2:35pm Carmichael:

These cats know how to rock. Sounds like the Danish ZZ Top, using Sears Silvertone guitars.

2:37pm issac:

totally.

2:39pm Pearly Sweets:

Kenny just tells the good, the bad, and the ugly. He is a giant speaker box extended on top of a radio antenna telling the stories people didn’t want to be told to show the silliness inherent in most conversations. What could have been intense last week or two weeks ago might be easily seen as complete pap when taken out of context of the moment.

2:39pm postmanpaul:

kenny - thank you for letting us in today.
issac - tottaly!

2:40pm Carmichael:

Pearly, you're totally deep. Really.

2:41pm Pearly Sweets:

I guess what I am trying to say is I haven't finished that bryce song yet even though I wanted to send it to him by tomorrow.

2:41pm annie:

pearly, i dig ya and PMP- ditto

2:42pm Carmichael:

I seek sustenance. Will see you all later at Irwin's place.

2:43pm Carmichael:

And thanks Kenny, for an enlightening three hours. Really.

2:44pm Laura L:

Ditto on the More Apology Line request! Kenny, does Allen's widow have the full archive?

2:47pm -max-:

Blunderland indeed!

2:49pm anna v.:

I had no idea you liked to play MUSIC that's so PRETTY.

2:51pm annie:

taking the dog for a walk, see you in irwin-land.

2:52pm postmanpaul:

kenny, are we witnessing a realigned paradigm today? and if so, it becomes you.
you rock, kenny.

2:54pm richard anderson:

Kenny, many thanks for playing the historical whistling of my father, Colin Anderson. I am very proud of this! The record is nearly 60 years old. Please come to Cologne, where the shellack will be played at the Stadtarchiv!

Richard

2:57pm issac:

goodnight everybody

2:58pm Feral Cat:

Doopy doopy do boogaloo

2:58pm ?:

Kenny G: 0, Inanity: 1

2:59pm -max-:

The only thing being realigned is your perception. Kenny is, and that is all.

3:00pm Pearly Sweets:

Kenny G: 98 Lakers: 94

3:01pm postmanpaul:

-max- you may have something there!
