6:44am Jack:

Good morning Ken (and listeners)! It's going to be a beautiful day today...

🚽

7:09am -Ken:

Im with ya Jack.

8:02am cory:

hi jack and ken. i agree, today is going to be awesome

8:18am Listener Robert:

Good morning, Ken. You don't want to know what I've been dreaming about you since I went back to bed. In fact now I have to go back & dream some more to erase the memory.

🚽

8:19am -Ken:

Robert, try to keep the creepiness under wraps, OK?

🚽

8:19am -Ken:

Any requests? I am particularly receptive to your suggestions today. Which is another way of sayin': I got nuthun.

8:24am Marcel M:

Morning Ken and Friends.

I was just thinking how fun 7SD will be once Andy's new show is on the air!

8:25am Listener Robert:

I'll just say it ended w you looking on & eating a sandwich while Andy was turned into a Swiss cheese of bullet holes by a whole group of Mafiosi exacting justice for the multiple adulterous incidents. The dream, I mean.

8:29am Dan B From Upstate:

Feels like a while since you've played something by Sigh.

8:30am LandOfJƏrƏmy:

It's never too early in the year to hear some polka

8:34am Lizardner Dave:

Humppaa!

8:34am Lizardner Dave:

Or Rush, whichever.

8:34am Okasa:

Morning Ken. Morning non-Kens.

8:37am paul:

Morning Ken from Birmingham UK, where the Supersonic festival will be kicking off on Friday. As for suggestions, playing two things randomly at once often works well - I've just accidentally listened to Nick Hook's Collage V.1 Remixes at the same time as Takashi and Brozman’s Sun Dunchi and it sounded great.

8:37am Marcel M:

Ken, my humble requests:

Las Grecas - Te Estoy Locamente

Les Ralizes Denudes - Enter the Mirror

Boris - Flare (Thats the J-Pop song I told you about)

8:38am Marcel M:

Enter the Mirror off of '77 live or Heavier Than a Death in the Family. That would be a nice long one for ya

8:39am cory:

how about some james last. in memory, ya know

🚽

8:42am -Ken:

Who are those by Marcel?

8:42am Lizardner Dave:

So long Mr. Giant Man.

8:46am Marcel M:

The Artist is first, Las Grecas, Les Ralizes Denudes, and Boris are the Artists.

8:53am Marcel M:

And don't worry, Les Rallizes Denudes is not French, they are Japanese. (Two L's in Rallizes my bad).

🚽

8:55am Ken From Hyde Park:

Gosh, RIP James Last. Sorry to hear that.

9:00am SeanG:

I'll put in a request for the VENGABOYS

🚽

9:05am -Ken:

Which song by James Last? And dont say Giant Man. That belongs to Fabio.

9:07am cory:

se a cabo is a tight tune

9:07am Andrew Waterloo:

James Last: Silver Machine, or Everyday People

9:08am r i s k y:

Hi Ken! Hi!

9:13am bobdoesthings:

gooood morning!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:14am cory:

that reminds me, is it legal to mail booze?

9:15am Marcel M:

Yes Cory, as long as its not open I believe. Unless your talking about pouring whisky into water bottles or something, that is probably not legal.

9:16am Marcel M:

Or will at least look totally suspicious.

9:17am r i s k y:

Yeeeeeahhhh!

9:17am bobdoesthings:

warning: may lead to drunk postal employees

9:17am Marcel M:

@BOB: Yeah they will "confiscate" it... hehe.

🚽

9:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

Post office says alcohol is OK domestically, but banned internationally. www.usps.com... Prohibited items are air bags, ammunition, explosives and gasoline. Interestingly, narcotics are not on the list.

9:23am Marcel M:

Things that are illegal are assumed Ken. Would be a long list if they were gonna list all things illegal.

9:23am MD:

oh no!!! here come the voices!!!

🚽

9:23am -Ken:

I love the idea of an early morning polka party but I will need to prepare for that as I am polka-challenged. Except for Humppas.

9:23am bobdoesthings:

haven't had my organ looked at in awhile

9:25am Andrew Waterloo:

October is a more appropriate Polka Party time. Hopefully you have lots of Walter Ostenek

9:28am Jack:

Polka music? Orange county's own Jimmy Sturr - 18 Grammies! He just made an album with Willie Nelson.

9:28am Sam:

Yay, the song from the Sopranos!

9:29am cory:

i love my radio station

9:29am Sam:

As much accordion as possible would be appreciated, that really resonates nicely in the office.

9:30am MD:

i'm getting hungry now,,,,Ken PLEASE!!

🚽

9:31am Webhamster Henry:

I was hoping you'd have a little "Welcome Back" for Vicki.

9:31am Murakami Whywolf:

De mortuis nil nisi bonum...but I've seen much worse than:

www.sandiegoreader.com...

'Another local who came across him is Diana Death, who later said “I met him once and he totally skeeved me out, I wanted to dip my aura, which he said attracted him, in bleach...I think only dudes like him.”'

9:38am SeanG:

9:38am vicki:

9:39am Marcel M:

9:40am MD:

9:40am MD:

9:41am steve:

Ken - if you weren't aware, two Fridays ago a guy dropped off a big donation of many boxes of LPs at the station, and i remember him saying there were polka records in there.

9:41am bobdoesthings:

@MD - Thank you! Couldnt remember where I knew James Last's name from! duhhh.

9:42am Brian C.:

How cool, there's my Accordian-King image! Maybe it's that Kim Fowley tune ringing in my head, but I feel like I just had my ego stroked

9:43am pierre:

I like this song

Bonjour Ken !

🚽

9:44am -Ken:

9:45am Dan B From Upstate:

9:56am redkayak:

Good morning, all!

9:58am Marcel M:

Lots of really great music is formulaic... I mean isn't all rock basically formulaic?

9:58am MD:

9:58am Peanut Gallery:

🚽

10:01am Guido from Cologne:

Hello Ken!

10:01am czechano:

nationalist public radio drools, mannnn!

10:01am tomas:

first time listener to this show.

LOVE IT

10:03am bobdoesthings:

@tomas - beware.. go slow.. some listeners will warn you. .Ken's show is the gateway drug to a life of FMU radio addiction.

🚽

10:03am Guido from Cologne:

That's very likely Fleur De Lys (the mod-band) accompaning Sharon. Never heard this before.

🚽

10:04am Guido from Cologne:

"Hold On" by Sharon and the Fleurs is one of the best Brit-60ies singles ever ever.

10:05am bobdoesthings:

anyone ever listen to Greg Proops's podcast?? I keep meaning to check it out.. but the title turns me off a bit.

10:07am P-90:

Proops has a current podcast?

10:08am bobdoesthings:

@p-90 -- www.gregproops.com...

10:08am cory:

his podcast is a blast

10:08am Marcel M:

Oh man... these lyrics.... It reminds me of the "Don't want no Mp3" Neil young thing..

10:10am MD:

Das Felfabahn! Das Hansaplast! Das Wire!!

10:13am P-90:

Thanks @bobdoes and @cory, I'll check it out.

10:13am Murakami Whywolf:

Proops' schtick is spouting cheap, lefty cant in a smug tone that makes me wish I didn't basically agree with him. (I only indulge in the expensive cant, and could not possibly be smug because that would imply that I were somehow imperfect and needed to change in some way.) Lopate was high-handed, but he had a point: when you lived through that era, you got to hear all the truly formulaic and predictable crap we've justly forgot along with the artists Proops is justified in extolling. It's true of any era, and the part of conservatism I can like: time is a great filter, and given a finite life-span....

(But to hear him use 'white people feeling good about themselves' as a negative epithet when he is extremely white and so intensely self-satisfied...he might not be in a Volvo, but caring about that is itself commodity fetiche, and reverse-snobbery is still snobbery, often with a 'protest too much' flavouring.)

10:14am Greg from Bloomfield:

Motivational screamer MES!

🚽

10:15am Guido from Cologne:

Great to find the Gaz in such high profile neighborhood.

10:15am fudge:

Damn ken your reading my mind. First thing that popped in my head when you described that Wire song is this new Fall song.

10:16am Marcel M:

He's probably fine with being a snob himself in his own way.

10:16am pierre:

wednesday are alright, but tuesdays am I right !

(thankfully there is WFMU)

🚽

10:17am Guido from Cologne:

info about THE GAZ:
en.wikipedia.org...

10:18am bobdoesthings:

whoa... the gif is synching up!! ahhhh it's the little things.. ain't it?!

10:19am Claw!:

This is amazing.

Greetings, Ken! Hey, People!

10:19am MD:

As Charlie Brown Said...."GOTTA ROCK!"

10:19am MD:

or was it "got a rock!"

10:19am Polyus:

I am sufficiently rocked.

🚽

10:20am Guido from Cologne:

Absolutely brilliant !!!

🚽

10:21am Ken From Hyde Park:

10:22am MD:

OOOOOOLLLLLDDDDIIIIEEESSS !!!

10:30am Cheri Pi:

good morning

10:43am groucho:

wasn't expecting this, but how good is the Kish Kash album! I can only remember the title track with Siouxsie Sioux on it but yea

10:44am Dan B From Upstate:

Basement Jaxx makes me miss when Cecile would stop by this show's comments section. She's entertaining and Ken will play anything she requests. Because everything she requests is gold.

10:44am r i s k y:

@Brandon - Jose Cuervo is pure shit.

100% Agave or nothing!!!!

10:45am common:

good day!

10:45am PJ:

If you liked "the Gaz" (not the band's actual name, this is some odd Italian translation of the name Plyn), you should listen to Dybbuk's Ale Cert to Vem, their only full album of songs from this period (Dybbuk was the name they played under after Plyn was banned by the government.)

🚽

10:46am Guido from Cologne:

I love this Tammys track so much!
On "Do The Zonk"-comp on RPM-records is an even crazier alternate version.

10:46am Whooda:

Thanks for letting me listen in

10:55am Claw!:

Ken, I believe this would make a fine addition to your program one of these days:
www.youtube.com...

11:01am Private Presley:

Double bass double Walken

🚽

11:02am -Ken:

Thank you Claw, always good to get more Killdozer requests.

11:04am Claw!:

My pleasure. :-) Happy to be of service.

11:04am Dave in PA:

R.I.P James Last, AKA "Mr. Giant Man"

11:05am Marcel M:

Man Pure Hell and Black Stabbers reppin' from Bushwick.

11:06am Cecile:

11:09am Cecile:

11:09am Cecile:

Or Slim Gaillard

11:09am Dan B From Upstate:

Yay! Cecile!

11:09am Claw!:

Oh, snap!

11:10am Cecile:

Pi, you have a keg of rhubarb beer waiting for you

🚽

11:13am -Ken:

What's a good Korpiklaani track Cecile?

11:15am Cecile:

Beer, Beer
Or
Cottages and Saunas

11:15am Lizardner Dave:

I know this is not the station's problem but will folks who pledged to the original Kickstarter get the promised DVD once it is released?

11:17am common:

that chrome just made my day, ken.

11:17am Marcel M:

Work time. Bye friends, thanks Ken.

11:17am Cecile:

I'm sure they will. I sponsored Taika Waititi's Boy and it took a year but I got it.

🚽

11:17am -Ken:

Yes Dave, you will.

11:18am Cecile:

Bye Marcel!

11:18am Claw!:

Ciao Marcel!

11:19am Lizardner Dave:

11:23am MD:

"We have a piper down! There is a piper down!!! No he's only pissed!!!!"

11:25am Dan B From Upstate:

I might be wrong, but I want to say that the porn commentary dvd was officially cancelled and we got to choose a different premium in its place.

11:28am Brendan:

Love the pipes. The intervals almost remind me of yodeling.

11:28am Claw!:

Oh, this is gold.

11:30am MD:

For all the Pipers!!! MAY YOUR BAG ALWAYS BE FULL!!!

11:30am Cecile:

ny husband and I both love bagpipes and our friends hate them so we love this set

11:32am adrian in mpls:

11:33am Brendan:

I like when they hump the bagpipes , douse them with lighter fluid and smash them onstage.

11:33am Cecile:

We love this set

11:34am still b/p:

Know your foe/friend:

11:36am Lewis:

11:37am Brendan:

Gotta love an instrument that looks like a hooka

11:37am P-90:

Bagpipes ALWAYS welcome FYI

11:38am Brendan:

11:39am Cecile:

They are the little black dress of irritainment

11:39am P-90:

Looks like a hookah, sounds like a large dinosaur having an orgasm.

11:40am Claw!:

@P-90 - hahahaha

11:40am Cecile:

11:55am Brendan:

'til we meat again, Ken...thank you

11:58am still b/p:

A good Monty Hall event would have the Mollie B. Polka Party from RFD-TV playing on a big video screen. Couples with matching hats admitted at a discount.
