Listener comments!

5:52am kӛn (:

Good morning! I was joking when I said I was taking the next schedule off. I'm going to stay with you for all eternity!

🚽

5:55am -Ken:

Good morning f0f0

5:55am FՖFՖ (:

That's great, Ken! Tuchus and free goulash for all of my friends to celebrate the news!

5:55am FՖFՖ (:

🚽

6:19am -Ken:

Your impression of me is UNCANNY, f0f0

7:29am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Good morning; Ken, do you have a favourite rendition of "Frank Mills" from "Hair"?

7:54am Michael:

Morning Ken. Welcome back!

8:14am Listener Robert:

You're beaming with what's coming out of your head. The rain has stopped, and endless throngs are knocking at your door. And now it appears even this laptop is overwhelmed by the requirements of rendering these GIFs.

8:20am Listener Robert:

You leave quite an impression in your wake. Endless images fail to capture your possibilities. But don't wait for a phone call! Your head is above the clouds as the winds of change blow over, and over, and over. You're head and shoulders above adversity, and all you need do is pour it out.

🚽

8:22am AnAnonymousParty:

GM all.
Do you have any birth inducing tunes, Ken? My 2nd grand kid is supposed to be appearing today.

🚽

8:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning! Awaiting the HazMat report on the W&B show. Sounds like Florence will leave rivers of pig manure in its wake. Yuk!

8:46am maestroso:

G'morning Ken! Had to check in for the last Wednesday show for a while.

8:52am Henry in Hopatcong:

People like us! I love it.

🚽

9:02am AnAnonymousParty:

Tis a sad day when I have to remove my reminder for Ken's show from my calendar :(

9:02am Sem:

Lovely Vicki to get things off.
Hello, SM Ken, kensters, the productively indolent, the professional hangers-on, cheese of a blue hue lovers, and the singular everywhere.

9:03am Roberto:

With his bones
And his skull
Ken says goodbye to you all

9:03am the illuminated void:

@ananonymous... I hear you.

9:03am Davee:

Wednesdays will never be the same again!

9:05am zopa:

More Bee Gees please.

🚽

9:06am -Ken:

Morning again, all!

9:08am melinda:

howdy Ken and everyone!

🚽

9:11am Webhamster Henry:

Those People Like Us are in NYC right now.

9:11am Rocky Horror:

@SMK: My PlayStation 3 can barely render your gifs!

9:11am zopa:

SMK. I know this goes without saying, but I have to say it anyway. Jesus loves you most of all.

9:12am Lixiviated Life:

"how can i be sure,
in a world that's constantly changing,
how can i be sure where i stand
with you"

9:12am Rover James:

#MeThree!

🚽

9:12am Webhamster Henry:

(goat scream)
We recently determined that all Kim Fowley songs rate a goat scream, in case one of those pops up in the rotation.

9:12am TDK60:

Darn-it Ken, that Bread tune embedded in P.L.U. is repeating in my brain; your fault!

9:12am Rocky Horror:

Very funny Rover James

🚽

9:15am -Ken:

People Like Us performing in Brooklyn Sept 21 & 22: peoplelikeus.org...

9:16am Rocky Horror:

the gay dancing in this gif looks like Clay Pigeon

9:16am Rocky Horror:

Guy I mean

9:16am Uncle Michael:

"Buddha is mad. Everyone start running."

Man, that's beautiful.

9:19am AndyIowa:

Happy hump day Ken and fellow listeners! -AndyIowa in Brooklyn

🚽

9:20am Ken From Hyde Park:

Very nice so far, but I'm excited to hear the set with all the crap that -Ken wants to clear off his laptop before he takes his leave.

9:21am elasticman:

I love Ken’s show

9:22am Davee:

I wonder what GIF goes with this Love man song?

9:22am Evan From Seattle:

i woke up this morning with my neck absolutely killing me, but I got to listen to the end of Wake which is always a treat when I am up early. Then I was bummed when I realized that this week is the new schedule which meant no Ken and his gifs. Then Clay said Ken was filling in, and I was like "today might be a good day after all." Or at least it will help me ease into the new schedule transition

9:22am Roberto:

One last screaming goat for the road, Ken?

9:22am steveo:

good morning; this fill-in feels special

9:22am listener Rey:

I sense a finger hovering over goat alarm

9:23am listener Rey:

Goat alarm Button

9:24am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Ken, I think its too late to ask, but could you play some of the late great Billy Syndrome's All You Have to Do is Lie? I saw him strum it on his acoustic for me and others at Organism back in 94....RIP Billy Syndrome.

9:26am Aaron Working In Newark:

Great show today SMK!

9:28am Roberto:

SCHWAMP!

9:28am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Who has carrot cake?

9:29am Roberto:

I didn't realize there were a new Swamp. I must acquire at once.

🚽

9:29am -Ken:

Neil, is that Billy Syndrome a seven inch?

9:30am listener Rey:

Gonna have to turn this down. Im allergic to autotune

9:30am MD:

FIO IS COMING! AND SHE IS CARRYING HER NAME YOUR PRICE POINT TOOL!

9:30am Lizardner Dave Somethingorother:

Can we hear Julio one last time? "It Is A Snowy Day. Brrrrr"

9:31am MD:

FLO! NOT FIO!

9:31am Spaceman One:

Is this the worst song ever written?

9:31am MD:

GOOD MORNING FELLOW FREEFORMISTS!

9:32am Roberto:

I don't care if it's the worst song ever written. It's Swamp!

9:32am MD:

let us all bask in the glow of KEN!!!

9:33am FՖFՖ (:

Ken,

Since I won't be able to request you a song in a long time I thought of requesting one last song before your disappearance. I believe it's a meaningful song for me and for everybody else here.

John Cage - Organ²/ASLSP

Just play it and stay alert with the dump button because Ione version has an expletive at some point in the song.

9:34am zopa:

Never Surrender.

9:36am Morphe:

This has been my anthem since you first played it - or I first heard it in April 2017???
My Ma died last week so it has been rotating ever more frequently.... No condolences.. She was in pain so the pain is gone.. I was about to hit replay but realized you are live..

9:36am Roberto:

Yes! What Ken just said about Swamp.

9:39am Lixiviated Life:

sorry,
wosn't listening to ken
what did he just say?

9:39am FՖFՖ (:

People that is not Ken,

HA! I just tricked Ken into playing John Cage's slowest and longest music piece ever! It takes only 639 years to play! I also told him there's a swear word somewhere so he will have to stay put waiting to press the dump button! Ken won't be able to go away from the mic for a long, long time!

9:40am TDK60:

Can you play Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly, sped up to 45 RPM?

🚽

9:40am Ken From Hyde Park:

He asked everyone to pledge, Lix. Station running low on cash.

9:41am JakeGould:

Phew, glad that Kevin guy is finally off of the schedule.

🚽

9:42am Webhamster Henry:

The Felder Show takes over for Scott McDowell next week.

9:43am JakeGould:

Oh man! Just finished watching all 80 of the original classic talkie “Little Rascals” episodes and it’s amazing how much crap Alfalfa is put through. In his throat specifically. Those kids really hate his horrible singing ability.

🚽

9:45am Webhamster Henry:

This is from Zorn's Funny cartoon period!

9:46am Phillippe Bastille:

good morning everyone

🚽

9:46am -Ken:

Sorry about your Mom, Morphe. Dont forget the six mail strippers she requested at her funeral.

9:47am peapod ross:

12 gay nurses and 3 marines too. or something like that.

9:49am still b/p:

Those special performers would be the pole-barers.

9:50am Morphe:

As Catholic as she was - she would get a chuckle!!!!
Cremated and to be scattered in Ireland so people DON'T HAVE TO GO TO HER GRAVE...

9:50am JakeGould:

I think those guys carrying that Twinkie are Pole (Polish) bearers. But is that a Twinkie or a fish stick?

9:51am Rev. Turnip Druid:

fish pole.

9:51am Sam:

Ah I love this

🚽

9:52am Webhamster Henry:

How about some Porest?

9:52am steveo:

yeah this is a good one

9:52am DumDumGuy at the Gates of Dawn:

This lack of responsibility is shocking

9:52am zopa:

Morphe: I've asked my wife to spill my ashes in the river Foyle should I outlast her. Nothing like a quest...

9:53am JakeGould:

“National Public Radio takes no responsibility if it’s just punches the air in front of you and walks down the street towards you and then you get punched.”

9:54am Davee:

Porest please!

9:54am Sam:

Great great

9:55am Lizardner Dave Somethingorother:

Thank you Ken!

9:56am FՖFՖ (:

SNOWY DAAAY KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!

9:56am peapod ross:

why wouldn't NPR want too take credit for this? It's a hell of a lot better than that quiz show.

9:56am Sam:

I don't want this show to ever end

9:57am DumDumGuy at the Gates of Dawn:

I am pretty sure this track is in the key of K

9:57am JakeGould:

Oboe Hobo

9:57am Sam:

A mon avis, Ken est aux chiottes

9:58am still b/p:

Adagio and Rondo was the greatest cop buddy TV series of the 70s.

9:58am steveo:

"beacon's closet has moved"

9:59am Evan From Seattle:

this npr stuff is brilliant

9:59am MD:

I REMEMBER DEMOCRACY!!!

9:59am MD:

THE GOOD OLD DAZE!!!!

9:59am FՖFՖ (:

Down with Culture!!! The best political band after Pussy Riot!

🚽

10:00am AnAnonymousParty:

There's a purpose for talking to a punk group, or the punk group you are talking to has a purpose?

10:00am Patty D:

Ken dont go! I need weirdness transmitting through my speakers Wednesday mornings.

10:00am peapod ross:

this is fairly realistic

10:01am MD:

I am sad! Twinkie is dead!

🚽

10:03am Webhamster Henry:

ThHis guy sounds like he's on acorns.

10:03am Roberto:

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

10:03am steveo:

no dave you're on acorns

10:03am Patty D:

Great transition.

10:03am zopa:

Where did the love go?

10:03am MD:

YESSSSS SUICIDAL ALL MORNING! DO IT KEN!!! WE NEED IT!!! BAD!!!!!!!

🚽

10:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

Switching to acorns.

10:04am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Every time I hear this, I think of the Dead Kennedy's second version of "California Über Alles" (post-{Reagan's Presidenyial election}) titled "We've Got a Real Problem Now".

The more paranoid part of me wants to know who paid for it.

10:05am FՖFՖ (:

Sam,

If you want this show to last forever join me in my request of playing John Cage's Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible), that just last 639 years. Or at least, at the end of the song, shout ENCORE!

10:05am (Murakami Whywolf))):

s/Presidenyial/Presidential/g

10:05am peapod ross:

I'm starting to think I've got this all wrong and the problem is I'm not on _enough_ acorns.

🚽

10:05am Webhamster Henry:

You people don't realize the extent of the acorn addiction problem up here in the sticks.

10:05am mjgoins:

Doom metal classic

10:06am Colin and Danie in Durham UK:

Gonna miss this so hard.

10:06am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Kiki next? …or Patton?

10:07am MD:

armanie-ca?

10:07am Evan From Seattle:

I just ordered that Parallel Broadcasts vinyl. It's that WFMU effect

10:07am Henry in Hopatcong:

Just a hormon-eee-ca! Thanks Ken.

10:09am peapod ross:

Down with Culture. Because they're down. With culture. I think.

10:10am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Don't sign up for medical acorns! It's just telling Them to round you up when this particular Let One Hundred Flowers Bloom instance terminates and they cut down the ones They don't like.

10:11am peapod ross:

we could do a semi-reverse 'airheads' movie plot and kidnap Ken and make him stay on the radio forever.

10:12am Asheville Jon:

i've evacuated to my basement.
it might be TREMENDOUSLY WET!!!!

10:12am Sam:

If we have a flood I'm screwed. I used up all my floating holidays.

🚽

10:12am Webhamster Henry:

Yes, and get the records and tapes out of the basement!

10:14am peapod ross:

I have never once looked at a girl and said, in a sexual manner, "I bet she moves just like a squirrell"

10:15am still b/p:

Who knew the guy from Scooby Doo had such pipes and swagger?

10:15am peapod ross:

and I've said a lot of things.

10:15am Colin and Danie in Durham UK:

Richard Dawson's started a pop band
thequietus.com...

10:15am FՖFՖ (:

Talking about harmonicas I brought mine today. I'll play it towards the end of the show to mark Ken's departure from the show. Please cry even if you don't want to. Otherwise the sad harmonica playing in the background will have no effect on cold hearted Ken.

10:16am Sam:

Word on the street is Ken's morning show is kicking ass today. I'm sure it will be discussed on 7 second delay foreplay.

10:17am Cecile:

RIP Rachid Taha.

10:17am Mark S:

perhaps "Baby Animal" to end the show?

10:17am officina:

Crazy, Ken, I've inexplicably had that Shaggy Carolina song in my head all morning....then you played it. Hurricane karma?

10:18am Cecile:

If you could put on Barra Barra, that would be awesome.

10:18am peapod ross:

I bet that girl moves just like a squirrell, and by that I mean when I hit on her she'll climb half way up a tree and chatter excitedly at the top of her lungs to show her displeasure.

10:19am Sam:

Sorry to hear that Cecile

10:19am Cecile:

and she'll throw shit at you and fight with birds.

10:19am Linda Lee:

Ken!! am i on acorns? is it you?

10:19am Listener Beverly:

It is sad Ken is taking a break, but I have successfully trained Apple Music's For You playlist to give me a weekly dose of squeaky Japanese and teutonic thump thump.

10:19am northguineahills:

huh, I have this dj pantshead....

10:20am Cecile:

One of the best shows I ever saw. Every Algerian in the Twin Cities was at that show. It was wild.

10:20am cosmic matrix:

i will miss the screaming goat.

10:20am The ECC:

Thanks for the play, Ken :-) -ecc (DJ Pantshead)

10:21am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Barra x2: a fine flashback number to come back to, following meeting.

10:21am JakeGould:

Ken! Please play “Kill the Poor” by the Dead Kennedys if you can.

10:21am Linda Lee:

fabulous.

10:21am Sam:

What's this song about?

10:21am βrian:

Wait, Medina, Ohio??

🚽

10:21am -Ken:

Hello DJ Pantshead!

10:21am zopa:

Yes. Roll the Rrrrrrrr!

10:22am TDK60:

Rachid Taha, huh.

🚽

10:22am AnAnonymousParty:

Doesn't barra translate to 'get out'?

10:22am Planet Tyler:

Rachid Taha died

10:22am JakeGould:

@Ken: The President of Iran is on Daddy Garbage’s side. wfmu.org...

🚽

10:23am -Ken:

"Barra Barra" translates to: "Please pass the pork. I am famished."

10:23am Planet Tyler:

He *just* died. Way to go Ken

🚽

10:23am Thelud:

Hassan Chop!

10:24am TDK60:

I think the song is antiwar in spirit. Taha died? Damn, great artist.

10:24am Cecile:

Yeah, I just found out and requested it. He was great.

10:25am Sam:

The school! She is closed!

10:25am Sam (:

Salut Ken!

I am Sam the évaluateur (appraiser). I would like to request to téléphone you to say the legal ID coming up next. Don't worry, t’inquiète, I won't last on the phone for the next 9 months. I'll just say the legal ID and that it. Ou lala !

10:27am peapod ross:

sort of piecing things together, but "The Ex-Guests" strikes me as a pretty good band name

10:28am peapod ross:

course it could just be that any dumb thought you have listening to this amazing thing seems like a good thought.

10:28am βrian:

Kind of like the Personas Non Gratas.

10:28am Planet Tyler:

C'mon Cecile, we want to pretend Ken has special powers before he leaves us

10:28am TDK60:

Yes, I have this "Made in Medina" album. And check out the great "1, 2, 3, Soleils" movie with him, Cheb Khaled and Faudel; 1998 concert in Paris. Great.

10:28am Sem:

I have a bet on SM Ken's last ever radio extravaganza includng a spin of "Strokin'." Hoping to still be in the money, even at the half-way point of the show.

🚽

10:29am -Ken:

It's a deal Sam. The 11am ID is all yours

10:29am FՖFՖ (:

Yes! Good idea, Sam, the one and only appraiser. Crowdsource one last legal ID, Ken before you vanish from the Wednesday morning

10:29am peapod ross:

this is like if motorhead had a horn section. amazing.

10:29am Cecile:

I saw the documentary of the making of that, TDK. Really cool.

10:29am Linda Lee:

that sax is mean. beautiful.

10:30am Sam:

Me, or the fake Sam?

10:30am ɛɨk:

This must be a musical style in the Netherlands, because the first restaurant I walked into in Amsterdam was playing something that sounded a lot like this, but I asked them and they said it wasn't the Ex.

10:30am Linda Lee:

frankly, i choose denial 'til next week & no Ken. it's better that way.

10:31am βrian:

I've yet you hear ululation on a station ID. Sam, can you ululate?

10:31am Cecile:

It could have been the Dog-Faced Hermans.

10:32am βrian:

@LLee: De Nile flows through parts of Ethiopia.

10:33am Linda Lee:

as it flows through us all, Brian.

10:34am zopa:

Not me. hee hee hee

10:35am FՖFՖ (:

If I'm not mistaken Cecile (by the way, CECIIIILLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!) owe us a legal ID call, doesn't she?

10:35am Cecile:

I'd love to, but it is not in my stars right now.

10:35am Linda Lee:

all the water on earth is a closed system, of which we're part. so there. :-D

10:38am lane:

Good morning all, its soggy up in here but the tunes are h-o-t good morning Ken~

10:38am Asheville Jon:

10:38am Linda Lee:

10:38am peapod ross:

10:39am Linda Lee:

Jon! what's going on in asheville? ready for heavy weather?

🚽

10:40am AnAnonymousParty:

If only the show could end with dingoes eating David Crosby.

10:40am ⓘⓚⓔ:

What label is David Crosby eating on?

10:40am Linda Lee:

guess you'll fare the way we did for sandy. offshore mountains, but we did get hit.

10:40am TDK60:

Rip Rig and Panic -weren't they from Bristol?

10:41am Asheville Jon:

well, it's partly cloudy. kinda humid.
i better get to the store, i'm almost out of coffee.
i am really rather unconcerned about the doom and gloom forecast

10:41am the illuminated void:

Sieg Heil! DENIAL...

10:41am ⓘⓚⓔ:

@AAP, not before the dingoes eat Don Felder. *Then* they can eat David Crosby. Gotta finish your main course before you're allowed to eat your dessert.

10:41am Asheville Jon:

the last big hurricane to 'hit asheville' was pretty bad though. i did have to clear a few sticks off my driveway

10:41am maestroso:

Oh no! Rashid only 59. RIP.

10:41am the illuminated void:

a little late ......only a bad pun

10:42am Sam:

Exquisite corpse = squirrel carcass

10:42am peapod ross:

do David Crosby chewing on aluminum foil next.

10:42am Mikey:

Was that Bill Bixby eating cereal?

10:43am Sam:

Do you have David Crosby eating ground glass?

10:43am Linda Lee:

no reason to panic for sure. just be ready for flooding & possible power outs. sandy left us without power for 10 days or so & roads were difficult.

10:43am Orangebird:

Bing Crosby having gas?

10:44am βrian:

Irene raised holy hell in Vermont. What a mess!

10:44am Roberto:

What about David Crosby eating a taco soaked in Ghost Pepper Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce (made rom the Jolokia pepper, the World's hottest pepper)?

10:47am Linda Lee:

10:48am FՖFՖ (:

I think you nailed it, AnAnonymousParty!

Ken's shows are just too repetitive. Week after week it's just one great show after another one. No wonder why he's taking a break! Ken, please, once in a while a bad shows is needed as well!

11:10am Ken From Hyde Park:

Rise, Wm, rise!

11:11am Sam:

The hurricane's going to get hung up in the Smoky Mountains and dump tons of rain there, which is all going to drain down into Asheville. Asheville might end up as a lake.

11:12am Rocky Horror:

A former president playing the sex curtisy of the Arsenial Hall Show

11:12am Rocky Horror:

I mean sax

11:13am listener Rey:

I'd give my left butt cheek to hear Dr Bootygrabber on today's program

11:13am Linda Lee:

please don't rise, William. & the same goes for your nasty old appendage.

11:13am Cecile:

YES

11:13am FՖFՖ (:

That reminded me of a joke Arsenio Hall once said.

11:13am Sem:

An indelible Ken moment: Khlam. Thank you.

An indelible Ken moment: Khlam. Thank you.

11:14am poor lost soul:

HAPPY! to have this Extra episode of "the KEN show" thank you Sir(hat tip)

11:14am Sem:

Worth repeating.

11:14am Linda Lee:

that's my concern too , Sam. there's a high pressure horseshoe set to surround this thing & hang it right up.

11:14am Cecile:

the video for this is amazing, too.

11:15am FՖFՖ (:

ZATUUUUMBBAAAAAAAAA!!

Ken, I noticed all your special soundbite guests are coming today to your farewell. But where's eric bogosian? Ms McGwigan? Hello Miani Beach?

11:18am Sam:

Is there anything this guy doesn't like?

11:18am Aaron Working In Newark:

HELL YES!!!!!

11:19am Sem:

"Hoboken" is an adequate substitute for "Strokin."

11:19am Passaic River Blues:

Truly captures the essence of Brick City.

11:20am Ike:

You can tell he didn't do much research on what's happening lately in Newark. Or ever. Not even a mention of Manischewitz moving here, or Audible, or the new Barcade? Not even Portuguese restaurants? Pfffft.

11:20am Sam:

The toxic waste dump!
Is a very very nice place!
There are many fine things to see and fun things to do!
There are rats with five tails and snakes curled up like snails!
I love to breathe the toxic air because it's fun I just don't care!

11:22am βrian:

Why Brick City? Lots of clay there?

11:23am Webhamster Henry:

Does Jokerfan do Cheesequake?

11:23am People Like Us:

Hi Ken, I'm in your house.

11:23am FՖFՖ (:

I'm impressed by the passionate & objective Sam's lyrics.

11:23am poor lost soul:

@KEN i hope the other side of that record isnt david crosby going to the bathroom after eating. if it does? i DO NOT want to hear it

11:24am Mark S:

I hope he does Hohokus

11:25am Sam:

You have to rhyme Hohokus with tuchus

11:25am Oy:

My ears though

11:25am FՖFՖ (:

Good idea, Ken! Play all the Jokerfan's songs!

(HA! There are 10000000 million songs out there! That's more than 9 months worth of music!).

11:25am zopa:

I realize that I will eventually regret clicky starring all the Jersey songs, but right now I don't care.

11:26am MD:

STORM OF THE CENTURY! "It's Not Nice to fool Mother Nature!!!"

11:26am Linda Lee:

personally, i can't wait to visit long branch & go swimming in the beach.

11:26am Mark S:

a natural rhyme, Sam

11:27am peapod ross:

Jersey rhymes with pluersy. Which you can get. I think, in your lung, mister.

11:28am paul b:

Mahwah huh. My roommate my freshman year at U. Md. was from Mahwah.

On the other hand my friend at WMUC, Gary Stern, was from Fair Lawn have your Guy do that one

11:28am JakeGould:

@Asheville Jon: Tremendously big and tremendously wet.

11:28am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Ken-I'll check Youtube. I checked, sorry no idea. It was NOT on Discogs yesterday. Sorry! I think its on Slutfish records, but maybe not. Not sure if its a 7". Might be? Sorry, I don't know. He was really really FUNNY.

11:28am Linda Lee:

i'll dare anyone to sensibly rhyme ho-ho-kus with tuchus. try it. it's not easy!

11:29am Sam:

Is he Nick the Bard?

11:29am FՖFՖ (:

Everybody in hohojus
has a tuchus

11:29am adampsyche:

that is a good map

🚽

11:29am yippie:

ho-ho-kus rhymes with focus like in great Kurt Weil song way out west in jersey

11:29am FՖFՖ (:

hohokus*

11:30am PKNY:

@Ken - that echo was a *lot* like the "Karate Moves" narrator...be careful, a scream like that can kill!

11:30am FՖFՖ (:

To the people that is listening the very delayed show please turn up all your volume. Here comes Ken to announce Khlam.

11:30am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Billy Syndrome was funny, that is.

11:31am Aaron Working In Newark:

I grew up in Beemerville!

11:32am Sam:

If you're in Plauderville
Better check your water bill
If you're in Hohokus
Better shake your tuchus
If you live in Sayreville
You can be a player, Phil

11:32am Planet Tyler:

Oy gevault is it really going to be 9 months?

11:32am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I am from Frelinghuysen Township. "Hill People". Yep. Right on the border of Executives living in Mansions driving Mercedes Benzes. They bought old farms and put houses on them.

11:32am Linda Lee:

bringin the beat there Sam. brilliant :-D

🚽

11:34am GloTato:

I'll miss ya ken. Enjoy the break.

11:34am Linda Lee:

they've been working on that one for a while here in the catskills, Neil. thankfully development is limited here, to preserve new york's water quality. otherwise .. shudder to think.

11:37am poor lost soul:

WOW! wednesday morning without ken. thats like an earth without a moon. a car without tires. sean penn going conservative. ice cream without hot fudge and sprinkles.

11:38am JakeGould:

Just checked some real estate listings upstate and I see listings for “Starter Homes” at $600,000+ Jesus. Where can anyone live?

11:39am poor lost soul:

WOW! or did i already say thay

11:39am Sam:

It's like hot fudge just floating through the universe, looking for ice cream to latch onto. So sad.

11:39am Linda Lee:

@JakeGould ~ what the hell neighborhood 'upstate' is that? sure ain't mine!

11:41am JakeGould:

@LindaLee: Hudson Valley. Hastings-on-Hudson-for-Rich-People.

11:41am Wild Neil||Peace All:

The average home in the Greater Toronto Area is about $800k. In Western NY around Buffalo you can get an OK house in Niagara County for about $150k. No granite, marble and stainless steel appliances, but solid house in good condition, yes. Not exactly a fixer upper but lets say the less expensive house in the good area. OK, we paid 140k and it has old carpet and old appliances and an older roof....am I in denial?

11:42am Linda Lee:

ah. right. lower hudson valley's getting a little crazy for sure.

11:43am JakeGould:

At the end of the day I can do my work remotely from anywhere. But people are obsessed with “tuchuses in seats” so I have to sit in an office when all I need is a high speed Internet connection from anywhere… So I live in NYC because of that.

11:43am Linda Lee:

away from the commuter lines along the hudson you can still do OK for less than 100K. sadly the flippers are onto us..

11:43am poor lost soul:

STAY CALM!! 6 wholr days to find something to replace KEN show on wednesday....STAY CALM

11:43am Rev. Turnip Druid:

Us creeps in DC will now keep our heads down in depressed silence during the chat about regional home prices.

11:43am Sam:

Tuchuses in seats is better than standing desks

11:44am JakeGould:

The place I work for is very open minded and there are serious discussions of remote working with job stability. I am not really holding my breath but if that becomes and option, I am moving away from NYC.

11:45am Sam:

Yeah, who knows, the world might end before next week and it won't even be an issue.

11:46am JakeGould:

@Sam: Millennials love standing desks. I guess their bosses like looking at standing tuchuses.

11:46am Sam:

I'm convinced millenials are just masochists.

11:47am FՖFՖ (:

Ken,

I really think you should do a fill-in for every DJ in WFMU. Just one fill-in per DJ. Take your time. You can do one fill-in a week. Nothing special. Pure light work.

Non-Kens:

HA! I just tricked Ken! I told him to do a fill in a week per every WFMU DJ! He won't realise there are enough DJs to do a weekly show for more than a year!

11:47am Linda Lee:

our valley has 'net service now (yes, just now) & folks are starting to work from here remotely. that should be a big help for our community in general.

11:47am poor lost soul:

PANIC!!!! i cant find anything to replace ken on wednesdays...PANIC!!!

11:47am Passaic River Blues:

@Brian at 11:22: there are various theories as to the origin of Newark's designation as "Brick City". One of the most popular (and I believe most accurate) is that it was inspired by the dozens of brick-fronted projects built by the Newark Housing Authority all around town from the 1930s through the 1960s and then busied itself tearing down from the 1980s until today.

11:48am Sam:

Nice move F$F$!

11:48am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I am fully in favor of standing desks. I felt better when I used to do it about 6 hours a day. It really is better. Neal Stephenson the author of Cryptonomicon has a treadmill he walks on at about 2 mph while he works. I am a test engineer, so for tests I must be in the lab, but otherwise, if I forward the phone and put all the relevant files on g drive I can work from home about 70% effectively.

11:48am Sam:

It's because the people who run Newark are dumb as bricks

🚽

11:48am -Ken:

Millenials are not the problem, it's the generation after them - the kids who entered college in 2013 or later.

11:49am Linda Lee:

@poor lost sooul ~ all is not lost. check the fmu streams & archives!

11:49am βrian:

11:49am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Linda - Everyone there should sign up for Facebook so they can build the online community. /s

11:49am JakeGould:

@-Ken: Yeah, these newer kids are such putzes.

11:49am Roberto:

Oops I just realized I think I got that Hadas Hinkle line wrong. I meant to say:
With his spine
And his skull
Ken says goodbye to you all
Bai Ken!

11:49am poor lost soul:

PANIC!!!!...did i just say that. i forgot from all the panicking

11:50am Linda Lee:

i'd say the move is away from facebook atm.

11:50am Goat:

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

11:51am FՖFՖ (:

Ken,

You have about 10 minutes to regret your decision of not doing this schedule. Look over there! You see that? Here they come: all the new albums from Khlam, Satanicpornocultshop, Tonetta! Oh, my goodness. Thank the lord for being here with us to play them all for the next weeks and months to come!

11:51am Eagle Rock Reverie:

It's afternoon somewhere!

11:51am JakeGould:

Oh in NYC tomorrow I am voting Nixon… Now more than ever! Cuomo is a putz but this past week he’s gone over the edge.

11:51am Linda Lee:

what a sweet tune from New Music Detroit, though!

11:51am Vanessa bikes:

Hi, belated goodbye Ken, it has only been the last year at a new job that I have been able to enjoy workday WFMU and your show was a favorite!

11:51am Sam:

Time needs to stop now.
#Nevernoon

11:52am Henry in Hopatcong:

Lovely show Ken. Looking forward to your future fill-ins.

11:52am Linda Lee:

i'm with you Sam ~ in the land of eternal marimba.

11:53am βrian:

My baby animal!

11:53am Mark S:

Yay!

11:53am Okasa:

Hey Ken, I hope you have a nice break.

11:53am Thelma Blitz:

I will really miss your weekly Wednesday show. I hope you reconsider. So much of the glory of WFMU seems to be dissolving. What can take its place. Your mini record fair rep really bummed me out.Hope he is good for somebody.

11:53am FՖFՖ (:

Ken,

One last thing. Please don't play the funeral song at the end of this show just like last week. That will only add fuel to the already running conspiracy theories about your departure.

11:53am JakeGould:

Oh and what’s a worse yiddish word for butt: Tuchus or tushy. Holy crap they are both horrible.

11:54am tadpoles:

Mesmerized by long-limbed girls. Will miss your music and gifs Ken.

11:54am Sam:

Someone could do a mashup of this with the tuchus song, it would go well.

11:54am JakeGould:

A reporter on NY1 talked about her “tush” a few weeks ago, and I really couldn't deal with it. Ass or butt is so much better.

11:54am Linda Lee:

i do believe Tuchus is worse. so nasty.

11:54am FՖFՖ (:

* playing a sad song in my harmonica *

11:54am Laura L:

I was hoping for a Baby Animal to close today's show. See you on fill-ins and when you're back in 9 months (and by archive in between)! Thank you, Ken.

🚽

11:55am -Ken:

Thanks for all the kind words everybody! Dont worry, I will be back and I'll be doing fill-ins and Seven Second Delay and stuff.

11:55am JakeGould:

But “tushy” is so creepy.

11:55am blee:

@Jake What about buttocks? That word sounds like a wild animal.

11:55am Linda Lee:

saved!!!!! thanks for a beautiful show -Ken.

11:56am blee:

Booty is always a good word.

11:56am Lizardner Dave Somethingorother:

Bye Ken. Hopefully I'll be here when you get back!

11:56am peapod ross:

ken needs nine months off to give birth to and care for a baby sloth. that's what I'm going to tell myself to keep going anyway.

11:56am JakeGould:

Baby animal buttocks.

11:56am Linda Lee:

it is that. maybe 'tush'?

11:56am ɛkɛ:

Rump?

Tremendously big tuchus.
Tremendously we tush.

Thanks Ken!

11:58am Wild Neil||Peace All:

In Polish the posterior is referred to as Tiełek (TI-weck). Most Polish women in Poland have a small or flat one.
