Cheeky Cheeky: Ken's show

Listener comments!

7:23am Jack:

Tired? Hungover? You're running late this morning.

7:33am AnAnonymousParty:

Can we get a quick post July 4th finger count? I'm at 10 so far.

8:20am Ken From Hyde Park:

No reports of Garbecue poisoning, I hope. I trust there were no tainted melons that warmed up considerably in the afternoon sunshine.

8:49am NotARealDoctor:

No tainted melons at our barbecue, but we did lose some fingers. Not our fingers, mind you, but still...

8:49am NotARealDoctor:

We're still doing a count to determine how many fingers are missing from the collection

8:50am -Ken:

Yes running REALLY late today. aaaagghh!!

8:56am FķFķ (:

Good morning, Ken, people!

I'm ready to rock, Ken. But are you?

8:56am -Ken:

I am NOT

8:58am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Bring the hippie noise. …and the beeping, and some of the booping.

8:59am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I'm awake now, for a change, maybe I've stolen some of your wakefulness.

9:00am Planet Tyler:

O shoot I forgot to sign in early for the big gifs!

9:01am (((Murakami Whywolf):

It's still weird not hearing the last few seciods of that overwrought version of "Ha-tikvah" opening the show.

9:02am medson:

Ken. Thanks to the station and Matt for yesterdays Garbeque. It was a good time

9:03am NotARealDoctor:

@PT there were no big gifs this morning, the dingo overslept and made Ken late I assume

9:03am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Planet Tyler:
Ken should post links to them so late risers will have a chance.

9:04am Whooda:

Hey DJ Station Manager Ken and saucy lip mustachios.

9:04am phillip in the bronx:

@ken any chance of hearing a little KLUM!!!

9:05am (((Murakami Whywolf):

I like big gifs, and I occasionally might be able to lie if I really had to do.

9:07am FķFķ (:

This Lonnie Holley tune can only mean one thing: Ken is trying to gain time to prepare today's show.

9:08am -Ken:

Sorry about the absence of the pre-show big Gif cavalcade - it shall return next Wednesday.. got back to town super late last night and had emergencies this AM

9:08am Planet Tyler:

@Ken, sorry about your emergencies but I'm glad I didnt miss any gifs

9:09am Vincent Nifigance:

"emergencies" = "breakfast".

9:14am Ken From Hyde Park:

Was one of the emergencies a cease and desist order from the GWAR-B-Q lawyers?

9:16am FķFķ (:

Emergencies in Ken's WFMU world could mean "elevator ate my dingo" or "lava lamps exploded" or even "bees are back for revange".

I'm rooting for the last one.

9:17am NotARealDoctor:

We still haven't gotten a finger count from Ken...

9:17am fm Mike:

Mornin' all!

9:17am cory:

i hope he doesn't go to 11

9:18am medson:

one fewer lava lamp, Matt gave me one yesterday haha

9:18am Brian C.:

Speaking of gifs, they can be favorited? groovy!

9:18am -Ken:

I still have most of my fingers. Bees are not back but they did leave me a message in my bed: a headless horsefly. Kind of creepy.

9:18am AnAnonymousParty:

The problem with America is giant waffles along its left and right borders.

9:21am FķFķ (:

I really don't know so I googled "What's wrong with America?'

And this is what google answered me:

Ranch dressing is what's wrong with America - The Washington Post

9:21am NotARealDoctor:

Giant waffles that apparently block signal waves coming from Eastern Europe.

9:22am cory:

HEY! back off Ranch Dressing, it's our national beverage

9:22am JakeGould:

Let me just say this: I am quite chuffed to have seen Matt W. give away one of his prized lava lamps o a garbaggio during the garbecque.

9:22am AnAnonymousParty:

Hmmm, looks like I should consider adding a waffle lining to my tin foil hat.

9:22am JakeGould:

By seen I meant heard. I myself was lame and not there.

9:22am medson:

national blood type as well

9:23am fm Mike:

medson, you got a lamp? That's awesome!

9:23am JakeGould:

A+ is my blood type. The best blood type! All of your other blood types suck!!! USA+! USA+! USA+!

9:24am medson:

@fm mike yes sir.

9:24am Ken From Hyde Park:

No net loss on the lava lamp count yesterday because I brought him one as a gift yesterday.

9:26am medson:

@ken from hyde park. Nice! is the count still at 8?

9:27am -Ken:

Who won the lava lamp yesterday?

9:28am medson:

I was the lucky recipient

9:32am Planet Tyler:

BUILD THOSE WAFFLES!

9:35am tom from Glasgow:

as a foreigner, i take no responsibility for the state of America. you won't even let me live there ffs

9:35am JakeGould:

Based on the movie “Breaking Away” those meddlesome cutters are what is wrong with Indiana.

9:36am Sebastian:

Good day America and world.

9:36am Planet Tyler:

I was give Hillbillies my vote for what's wrong w 'murica until you brought up the unicorn frap

9:36am tom from Glasgow:

also ranch dressing is good as far as i can tell

9:37am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'll bet Andy Breckman would be proud to be on that list.

9:38am P-90:

Likin' the Teeny Turner bed

9:38am fm Mike:

Lol yes @ Ken From Hyde Park

9:39am NotARealDoctor:

@Ken, I'm not sure what you'd use this for (I personally can think of a million things to use it for), but I felt a need to share this gif with you and all my fellow Kenites: i.imgur.com...

9:40am Parq:

Tom from G, you're not missing anything.

9:45am Listener142985:

JakeGould: Thank you for reminding me that I need to see that movie again. Makes me feel better every time. Maybe what's wrong with America is lack of time spent either bicycle riding or pretending to be European.

9:50am Brendan:

Great doody flute cameo in that Takeshi Terauchi

9:51am krissy b:

9:52am MD:

The Vinal of this is so great!! My wife has the locked Groove import...we just re-discovered it the other day!!! GOOD MORNING FREEFORM FINATICS!!!

9:55am Sebastian:

I'm detecting a pattern

9:55am Okasa:

@Brendan: That would be a shitty shakuhachi.

9:56am MD:

Vinyl....Fanatics!!! XO!

9:59am Ken From Hyde Park:

Coming next: "When Pooeyflutes Attack!"

9:59am JakeGould:

“Breaking Away” is a great film that is not just about bike racing but also the decay of American industry and a reflection on how class divisions work.

10:02am Doctor Ninja:

Enjoying the tunes this morning Ken!

10:03am doctorjazz:

Great Shitty Flute! Enjoying the show.

10:04am Vincent Nifigance:

Despite the lack of preparation, Ken can always pull some shitty flute out of his...sleeve.

10:04am adrian in mpls:

a most epic shitty flute adventure!

10:04am howard in nyc:

Ken, I have a patient under anesthesia. I can't have them wake up to this stuff!

10:05am FķFķ (:

I believe that was the Shith Symphony, Ken.

10:06am melinda:

Good morning Ken and listeners!
@Jake I love Breaking Away.

10:07am Ken From Hyde Park:

"The two-stage pooeyflute launched by North Korea will be classified by US intelligence as a new type not heard before, officials say." - CNN

10:07am FķFķ (:

Ken,

I'm glad you found another song from Die Fabulosen TheKenschlampen. I googled like crazy last week but I couldn't find anything besides those two videos already found on Youtube.

10:07am howard in nyc:

Schäm dich Ken!

10:07am weiterso:

the ken schlampen!

10:08am Goyim in the AM:

Former The Ken Slut Mirja Boes also had a solo hit called 20 Zentimeter, which is about the length of her love letters to The Ken.

10:11am Goyim in the AM:

(The artist name on that one is Möhre, which is a terrible German pun, even worse than The Ken Schlampen.)

10:11am Sebastian:

a full album of theKenschlampen is on it's way to you, Ken

10:12am FķFķ (:

What else can ruin this song? Oh, yeah, the harmonica.

10:14am -Ken:

Sebastian, thank you!! And thanks to Ludger for sending me two Kenslu songs last week, which is where Sham came from.

10:14am howard in nyc:

The only dead fink is a good fink. or something. oh cheeky cheeky

10:14am Ken From Hyde Park:

I'd be interested to see a World of Shame map that shows the bad side of various countries.

10:15am Mark S:

"Dead Finks is not about Bryan Ferry. After all the music was recorded and the words written, Chris Thomas (my producer and Roxy’s as well) said, ‘you’ll get me shot for that track. It’s obviously about Bryan.’ So I listened back to it and it obviously was. It was certainly something I hadn’t realised. Essentially all these songs have no meaning that I invested in them. Meanings can be generated within their own frame-work. It may be a very esoteric thing to talk about but I don’t think it’s entirely out of the question.”

10:16am FķFķ (:

Is it me or this Brian Eno song has some stereo recording mistakes?

10:17am Vincent Nifigance:

@FķFķ (: Get out.

10:18am FķFķ (:

Ken From HP,

Have you seen this map?
https://localtvkfor.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/united-states-of-shame.png

10:19am tadpoles:

Love the GIF and the FOTC!

10:20am Ken From Hyde Park:

@FķFķ - It does ring a bell for some reason. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, but I can't fathom where that was.

10:23am Mister Dobalina:

What a swell group of Garbaggio's at the garbacue yesterday! It was the highlight of my day, so much so, that I skipped the fireworks and went straight to bed!

10:23am still b/p:

Great moment in Breaking Away, perfect for inclusion in some Classic Cathartic Clips Collection: After the owner says, "And don't forget to punch to clock, Shorty." Moocher punches -- really punches -- the time clock at the car wash where he was about to have his first day on the job.

10:24am still b/p:

"punch THE clock"

10:24am The Librarian:

Happy Wednesday with some Flight of the Conchords doing Bowie.

10:26am (((Murakami Whywolf):

The Bowie animated image is reminiscent of some "Venture Brothers" episodes in which it appears that David Bowie is the literally shape-changing ruler of the League of Calamitous Intent, assisted/betrayed by his henchmen Klaus (who can generate ultrasonic blasts) and Iggy (who smokes a lot).

10:31am thedunkel:

Good Morning Ken - Good Morning All!

10:32am Listener142985:

still b/p: Wish Jackie Earle Haley had not gone off rails. He was great as Moocher and as the tough kid in Bad News Bears. Guess being in two really good movies about being young is not such a bad life's work.

10:34am foreign_listener_k:

Have the Ken sluts been informed of this yet?

10:35am Cliff in Prague:

Wait, what time is it?

10:37am -Ken:

Hello TheDunkel!

10:39am melinda:

@listener142985 I read that Jackie Earle Haley had a second career as a record producer in San Antonio. He also did a good turn as a pedophile in a movie several years ago, I forget the name.

10:39am FķFķ (:

At least the band didn't name themselves 'Internet Explorer'.

10:39am -Ken:

hahah

10:41am still b/p:

Haley had a long quiet period for on-camera roles, but then got an Oscar nomination for Little Children and seems busy enough lately with horror/fantasy stuff and other film and TV work. I think he's doin' a'ight. But you're right -- he was perfect in those first young outings.

10:41am Mark S:

ok that's not Robert Quine right?

10:44am -Ken:

No, not Robert Quine on the Chrome.

10:45am Mark S:

Got ya

10:47am Ken From Hyde Park:

You scheduled an apple break soon, right, -Ken?

10:48am melinda:

@b/p Little Children is the movie I was thinking of.

10:49am -Ken:

Oh man, Little Children - what a creepfest that one is. Done with my apple KenfromHP!

10:50am Lewis:

the 39 clocks gif is really good...

10:51am Adam-in-the-Green:

Ken, where are you finding these Deutsche pop gems??? who is your in??? I want answers!

10:51am Listener142985:

He was good in Little Children but I never felt like I needed to see that film again. Maybe if he had made a movie every year, the charm would have worn off. The time clock scene is a classic, along with so many other great moments in that film

10:54am -Ken:

@Adam-in-the-Green been into the NDW and German pop for a longish time now...it all started with Der Plan in 1980

10:55am FķFķ (:

I'm pretty sure this German song is about drugs (I did a German introductory course in 1998)..

10:56am melinda:

@Ken and Listener creepfest, indeed, but very well done, I thought.
I've re-watched Breaking Away a few times and wondered if it would seem dated or lose anything, but the bike race at the end is still just as exciting as it was then. I also love the part during the bowling alley rumble when Cyril gets the ball stuck on his hand and swings it around in self-defense.

10:56am JtotheK:

hi ken, hi everyone.

10:57am goyim in the am:

Jackie Earle Haley also had a pretty impressive run of films co-starring Maria Conchita Alonso, according to a Tuesday night call-in show I listen to.

10:57am still b/p:

Haley was Veep of the Confederacy in Spielberg's Lincoln. After Little Children, that's ridin' a pretty far piece on the résumé range.

10:58am Adam-in-the-Green:

@Ken, have you seen B-Movie: Lust and Sound...? If you haven't already I think you'd really dig it (you can find it with subs somewhere, I'm sure)

11:01am pantz:

Hey, what happened to the Felder at 11?

11:01am Lewis:

Is the Bear Family book in English on this one?

11:02am Listener142985:

Melinda: I see it as an optimistic movie that is not dumb or formulaic. Not many like it that I have seen. Dave's parents are really good characters, nice counterpoint to the kids. Want to log off, go home and watch it now!

11:03am Planet Tyler:

Haley is in Preacher now.

11:04am medson:

that chrome GIF we just watched that boys beware PSA at work the other day.

11:04am Planet Tyler:

The Bowie gif is amazing

11:06am Planet Tyler:

I missed some of the show. Was there a dingo report? Did the dingo go to the BBQ? Does she freak out over fireworks? (My dingo is all like honey badger and doesnt give a fuck)

11:07am Sebastian:

oh god, Uschi

11:07am βrian:

My thoughts have been with the orange traffic cones. How are they doing?

11:09am Sebastian:

confused, ancient and without a chance: Bernie Sanders won't give up!: www.titanic-magazin.de...

11:11am Mark S:

I still love the way Joan Baez butchered this song

11:11am BrendanSchlampen:

There goes Robert E Lee

11:11am still b/p:

Vocal in the "Rosemary" cover had that quality of energy that says, "I could sing this right now...or not...doesn't matter to me."

11:13am thedunkel:

perfect ken - perfect! "Am Tag, als Conny Kramer Starb" would be great to karaoke at the next PIAN show at MH

11:16am FķFķ (:

Yes, Ken, bring all the Pink Floyd covers! Wohoo!

11:17am Ken From Hyde Park:

The Garbecue was a really nice time yesterday. Meeting all those WFMU folk was like a family reunion. I'm very happy to have been part of the experience.

11:18am PKNY:

VVVVOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!!

11:19am Sebastian:

there we go!

11:20am Ken From Hyde Park:

Voivod! !! !!!

11:21am Listener142985:

last Breaking Away bit--the writer (got an Oscar) later wrote for Breaking Bad. Perfect circle.

11:23am FķFķ (:

Where is Cheri Pi?! Why hasn't she show up yet shouting 'VOIIIIIIVOOOODDDDD'? I'm worried, people.

11:23am PKNY:

YYYYYYYEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

11:24am Bubba:

Morning K -K-K-Ken!

11:26am PMD:

Listened driving to work today. Shittyflute was the last thing I heard before turning off the car. Dammit

11:26am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I can't remember which right-wing columnist claimed that "Breaking Away" was the best right-wing movie of his age, nor can I remember his argument, so my guess is it was kind of weak.

11:26am Ken From Hyde Park:

@FķFķ - Clay Pigeon mentioned that she and Cecile are in Houghton, Michigan, on vacation and will host a WFMU meet-up. All is well.

11:26am FķFķ (:

Comfortably Numb! Used to be my favourite song when I was a kid. Good times!

11:27am -Ken:

PMD, where do you live? Japanese TV is looking for somebody who drives to work during our morning show..

11:28am FķFķ (:

Phew! Thanks, Ken from HP! Good to know.

11:28am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Is there a separate and complete gwarchive of the Gar-B-Q?

11:30am Listener142985:

Only a great tune can withstand this treatment.

11:30am (Murakami Whywolf))):

According to Google Translate and my own, bad, Japanese, that swan costume comes complete with pearls and a crown.

11:31am Asheville Jon:

Ken, i am still freaked out by this song. flashback to Black Mirror.

11:32am Jackshit:

WHAT A FANTASTIC SHOW! KEN YOU RULE!

11:34am Jackshit:

BRAZIL> AWESOME

11:34am howard in nyc:

Me too, Asheville Jon

11:34am Brian C.:

Hey Ken, I am donating my car to WFMU today! Waiting for the towtruck to show up

11:35am AnAnonymousParty:

I could go for some new ducks.

11:35am will:

My ducks are getting old, I should check out that central services place

11:38am Listener142985:

This version is so great.

11:39am Whooda:

.Finger lickn' ear pickn' good DJ Station Manager Ken.

11:42am PMD:

Ken - I live in San Francisco Bay Area, as you know...

11:43am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Can we donate our bodies to medical science and have WFMU get a finder's fee? Mine's a bit of an heap by now, but even so.

('Just go to smile.medical-science.org and choose "Auricle Communications"….')

11:44am Listener142985:

it makes the 'greatest' VU cover short-list anyway

11:44am Ken From Hyde Park:

Preparation for a show seems to be a highly overrated concept. This is turning out just fine.

11:45am groucho:

Black Mirror was Channel 4, not BBC. Sorry to be a pedant but I hate the BBC

11:45am groucho:

Nowadays anyway, they used to be amazing

11:45am Asheville Jon:

the black mirror episode is on the tube of you
www.youtube.com...

11:46am Planet Tyler:

Hey y'all remember Rusty the Red Panda who escaped from the DC Zoo a few summers ago? He went out on the town for a month or so before getting caught again. I was hoping it was a Rusty type prowler who got into the duct work.

11:49am Connic01:

Wolverine??? They are not native to NJ. Escaped pet?

11:49am Lewis:

I love the BBQ gif

11:50am Listener142985:

For listeners north of Jersey City, Morricone Youth are doing the soundtrack thing at MASS MoCA on July 15. Yr welc.

11:51am northguineahills:

I love the Krtek soundtracks!

11:51am AnAnonymousParty:

Pet wolverine? Isn't that like having a pet bear or razorback?

11:52am -Ken:

@Connic01 Matt Warwick brought it in for Show and Tell two weeks ago and it wriggled out of his hands.

11:53am -Ken:

@PMD, dangit! Dang It to HELL!

11:53am Connic01:

Thank you for the clarification, Ken. I want a pet wolverine!

11:54am AnAnonymousParty:

Isn't this the background music to Big Brother?

11:55am -Ken:

Connic01 you might want to rethink that - it left Matt pretty ripped up.

11:55am Brendan:

Almost time for my juice box and a nappie. Thanks Ken.

11:56am Connic01:

Sound advice, Ken, sound advice.

11:56am FķFķ (:

Eastern Europe cartoons are the best, aren't they? Highly artistic and yet adorable...just like the Russian Winnie Poh!

11:56am still b/p:

Hugh Jackman didn't know there was such a beast as a wolverine until he was already working on the movie. He thought he was supposed play it sort of regular wolfy.

11:57am cory@work:

thanks for the great show

11:58am Jeff:

When I first heard this Milan Kymlicka bit, I thought it was Teletubby noises. Which turned out to be wrong.

Then I thought it must be something to go along wit Czech animation. Which turned out to be right.

11:58am SeanG:

Thanks Ken!

11:58am FķFķ (:

Thanks, Ken, people! Wonderful Gifs, comments and music! Till next episode everyone! Take care and remember....Be happy!

I SAID BE HAPPY!!!! WHY AREN"T YOU HAPPY YET?! BE HAPPYYY!!!!

11:59am βrian:

Ach, Meetings! I hope the traffic cones are in good health.
