Good morning Ken. This is a good show. Good! Vengeance is good!

9:06am John from Oslo:

9:12am Chris:

9:12am Billy Bob Merle:

Well dang if'n that don't take the rag off'n the bush!

9:12am Lizardner Dave:

I feel a "Balloon Man" track coming on.

Oh, good morning to Our Leader Ken and fellow listeners.

9:12am John from Oslo:

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt. ~Dean Martin

9:17am bennett4senate:

yo Ken! I wonder what sort of miraculous machine he used to record that song from the insides of his paralysed mind!

9:19am Jesus:

Hit me, I need it baddddddddddddddd

9:22am Dan B From Upstate:

It moved a little bit at the beginning of the reverb but then sorta... stopped. There was no movement at all without the reverb.

9:22am cribley:

not enough stereo stuporation

9:22am BSI:

9:28am Jason B.:

(Not in public, Alex. It's a secret.)

9:31am PMD:

Morning Ken. Put on your sunscreen.

9:31am dc pat:

ok, where in the new testament does it say "if you shoot drugs, you're actually shooting them directly into Jesus's arm...and Jesus has tattoos"?

9:33am BSI:

DC Pat: That would be in the Gospel According to Frankie Machine, I believe...

9:33am Yokel:

DC Pat's a freakin atheist.

9:33am Janet H:

Good Morning Ken! Don't be a paleface!

I love the JESUS pict!!

9:34am Jesus:

Got that tatt in a funky place on St Marks Place. Want the address?

9:35am Ken:

Morning all!!! Sorry it took me so long to get settled in. Let's just say I am EXTRA RECEPTIVE to requests today!

9:35am DKC:

Jesus needs the help of a one armed man to shoot his smack?

9:36am bad joke:

esus, in a very worried state, convened all of his apostles and disciples to an emergency meeting because of the high drug consumption problem all over the world.

After giving it much thought they reached the conclusion that in order to better deal with the problem, that they should try the drugs themselves and then decide on the correct way to proceed.

It was therefore decided that a commission made up of some of the members return to earth to get the different types of drugs.

The secret operation is effected and two days later the commissioned disciples begin to return to heaven.

Jesus, waiting at the door, lets in the first disciple:

"Who is it?"
"It's Paul"
Jesus opens the door.
"What did you bring Paul?"
"Hashish from Morocco"
"Very well son, come in."

"Who is it?"
"It's Mark"
Jesus opens the door.
"What did you bring Mark?"
"Marijuana from Colombia"
"Very well son, come in."

"Who is it?"
"It's Matthew"
Jesus opens the door.
"What did you bring Matthew?"
"Cocaine from Bolivia"
"Very well son, come in."

"Who is it?"
"It's John"
Jesus opens the door.
"What did you bring John?"
"Crack from New York"
"Very well son, come in."

"Who is it?"
"It's Luke"
Jesus opens the door.
"What did you bring Luke?"
"Speed from Amsterdam"
"Very well son, come in."

"Who is it?"
"It's Judas"
Jesus opens the door.
What did you bring Judas?"
"The DRUG SQUAD.... EVERYONE AGAINST THE WALL!!

9:36am Christ's ink man:

"Stable Boy and proud!"

9:36am Thomas:

Hey JC - I doubt it, dude!

9:36am Show Planning:

I feel weak this morning...

9:36am Cecile:

Ken, you know I would always love to hear some Flight of the Conchords. Or the Reigning Sound's "Straight Shooter"

I love you.

9:37am BSI:

Fugs?

9:39am David R. Jones:

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Jesus Christ's a junky...

9:39am Mark:

that was a bad joke alright

9:39am bb:

found this gif in my inbox this am, Ken

and passing along to you

http://imagechan.com/images/hitlermelon.gif

9:39am Guerin:

This show always makes me laugh

9:40am Bad Ronald:

I'd love to hear anything by the Bonzos... please.

9:41am dc pat:

I'll always second the Fugs.

9:41am annie:

forget it, i won't mention uhura's bouncing thigh

9:42am Third:

Fug U 2

9:42am Cecile:

I love the Chekov hoedown scene. That has been a staple of blooper reels for 30 years.

9:42am Chris:

how about the song "dont touch my pink floyd"

...or something from OOIOO

9:42am final front ear:

The ripe impact shake
of Uhura's magic thigh
has launched me to space

9:43am Vicki:

Kleptones - Night at the Hip Hopera

Please

9:47am dc pat:

yeah annie that's about the first thing I noticed. Uhura's Bouncing Thigh is the name of my next band.

9:47am Dan B From Upstate:

Umm.... How about Shiny Toy Guns cover of "Major Tom (Coming Home)"? :-)

9:51am BSI:

Jeezus, I still need to immortalize CUPCAKE DOG somehow, and now along comes UHURA'S BOUNCING THIGH... I gotta catch up...

9:52am Janet H:

Don't forget your love for Bhavana!

9:53am Ken:

Bhavana broke my fifty year old heart into 48 pieces

9:53am Rob W:

The first part (or maybe the whole - not sure where it ended) of the Zona MC song incorporated the Serbian folk standard Adje Jano - uncredited I guess. Just in case anyone was wondering (I'm sure you were) - !

9:56am PMD:

Request: Freebird!

9:56am Vicki:

that'll do

9:57am paul:

pretty sure this is the best quene cover i've ever heard

9:57am Chris:

this makes me want to hear some anton maiden (rip)

9:57am Lord Moncktone:

You are so cruel, Ken

9:58am Keilidh:

Ken, is that you singing? Reminds me of that Hotel California you did...

9:58am Cecile:

Here's a good name for a band:

Electric Snuggie

9:59am freddy mercury:

ioh god,is this me singing?

9:59am paul:

ok. DEFINITELY sure this is the best queen cover i've ever heard

9:59am BSI:

Speaking of Vicki, ... there was that effervescently perfect People Like Us mutation of "she'll be coming 'round the mountain"...

Alternately, Bobby Vinton B-sides always do it for me. ...

Cows "chow" is also good for a mental spleen cleansing.

9:59am John from Oslo:

The son of Larry doing Queen? Excellent!

9:59am Producer:

Paging Autotune. Report to the Recording Studio, stat.

10:00am Nat:

head banging

10:01am Keilidh:

Makes me long for William Hung.

10:01am Don Poohba:

Good-bye

10:02am bennett4senate:

I was hoping we might hear some multitracks

10:02am Larry:

I disowned him last week.

10:03am Don't Tell Anyone:

William wasn't Hung.

10:04am Alex:

Ken - you are cruel - I have genuine feelings for you

10:04am PMD:

Ken, you could play one of the songs from your Jesus Crhist Superstar extravanganza from several years back (each song from a different country or somethign like that)

10:05am Dr. Love:

Ken's a wellknown heartbreaker. Suck it up, dude.

10:05am Keilidh:

OH YEAH! NOW WE'RE TALKIN!
そーーーうっよ！好き！好き！

10:06am BSI:

i can die happy now.

10:06am JEB:

You hate salamanders! Why? Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy!?

10:06am J-Mar:

Any guess as to what language they're singing? I'm guessing either Japanese or Finnish?

10:07am Ne-guh-tor:

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

10:08am Vicki:

bet you could do the rest of your time on the air today doing just Queen mashups and covers

10:08am still b/p:

Herman's Hermits are singing Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter on a radio next to me here, which makes a lovely Bohemian Mashody with all this.

10:08am Keilidh:

Ken. We HAVE to do a japanese show together.

10:10am John from Oslo:

What's wrong with me? I'm tapping the beat!

10:11am Terry:

Gummeh bear stare

10:11am BSI:

I keep praying whoever's responsible for this will launch into MUSTAPHA, which is of course the coolest Queen tune evah.

10:15am annie:

normal is just a setting on the washing machine..

10:16am normal setting:

i'm not really normal, but i fake it to reassure the huge "timid" demo.

10:17am Keilidh:

So is "delicate" and "intimate"

10:18am Cecile:

Any suggestions for a tender sciatic nerve? It will clear up as soon as the weather stabilizes, but i need relief NOW. I just took an Aleve.

10:19am annie:

wish i had a solution for you cecile...

10:20am Ken:

Valerian Root, Cecile. And Tramadol.

10:20am YourYogi:

Bikram Yoga is the best thing for your sciatica. It's all about spinal stretching and strengthening. It's the only thing that has ever helped me.

10:22am Keilidh:

Gotta love the Deacon! King of Baltimore.

10:25am Mark:

Tramadol is the solution for everything

10:25am Cecile:

Yogi, I DO do some yoga stretches as part of an old PT routine. I'll head to the gym at lunch. Thanks!

10:26am BSI:

Keilidh, I beg to differ.
Mister Ray will forever be the King of Baltimore.

10:26am em:

@ cecile -- heating pad and massaging the muscles that sit on the nerve (for me, behind and down from the hip)

10:27am YourYogi:

Cecile, seriously, try Bikram at least once. Or at least look up the stretches in the bikram routine (they never change) and do those, they're different than normal yoga

10:28am Keilidh (to BSI):

Yes, you're probably right. I meant more the present day hipster king of baltimore DIY...

10:29am Carmichael:

Good morning Mayhem Ken and many other peoples.

Low ... Ri .... Duh ... drive a little slowuh .....

10:30am Cecile:

I thought DuffTheAceOfCakes was king of Balmer

10:30am Ne-guh-tor:

Ed Shepp?

10:30am paul:

the spin doctors "two princes" drum fill kills me every time

10:30am Mark:

ha ha Chuck smells

10:32am Terry:

Holy crow she's chopping groundhog face.

10:32am bennett4senate:

ah Julia! she could be saying anything anyways - this edit reminds me of Charlie Rose vs. Charlie Rose

10:33am stingy d:

wdup

10:34am wiggah:

yo.

10:35am career advice:

If Ken can fake being drunk, he could be the new Deam Martin.

10:35am stingy d:

aight

10:37am PMD:

What floor is the boxcar studio?

10:37am boxcar studio:

we are haunted by the ghosts of dj's past

10:38am sexy police:

ken mentioned his "laptop"

10:39am BSI:

hey wow, the auto-refresh had stopped, I thought y'all had died. And for the uninitiated, I tried to find some classic old Mr.Ray's commercials but all evidence had been removed from youtube. He'll always be the Pope of Baltimore...

10:40am death penalty:

we are here for the elevator hog

10:41am mysterio:

this is art. live.

10:41am PMD:

I wasn't going to believe that you were moving if you said the elevator was there quickly. But now I believe.

10:41am John from Oslo:

Elevator show is the best show!

10:41am Carmichael:

I like the Lieberman picture. I want to party with those guys.

10:41am Lizardner Dave:

Best part of the show so far.

10:42am due sitcom music:

movin on up, to the beast side

10:42am PMD:

You complain about the hot. You complain about the cold. Never satisfied. Just like a man.

10:42am Lizardner Dave:

Actually, would it be possible to do an entire Seven Second Delay from the elevator?

10:43am BSI:

this is fully awesome. seriously.

10:43am Mary Wing:

I feel like I'm there! In the elevator, in the hot studio B (the B stands for "Boxcar," I presume?), in Ken's phone!

10:43am stingy d:

hey this doctor that tried to kill some cyclists with his car got five years in jail. not necesarily enough. but i still approve. too bad he'll get parole sooner than the full 5. here's to prison rape!

10:44am Female:

Men are wooses. Espeoially whiny Jewish men.

10:44am John from Oslo:

sounds like an ammer/einheit recording now Ken -

10:45am dc pat:

stinj: I read about that douche. Def deserves more.

10:46am bennett4senate:

MORE LIKE studio "X"

10:47am Cecile:

what? He was going out and trying to hurt them?

10:48am Maria D:

My coworker just pulled me into her office because she was dying to share with me "her favorite new song." She proceeded to blast some terrible thing by Rob Thomas. God help me.

10:48am stingy d:

he was upset that they were riding side by side. sped up in front of them and stopped very short.

10:50am PMD:

My Puerto Rican friend does a great imitation of Julia Child. With a PR accent.

10:51am Carmichael:

The word "studio" just sounds professional, no matter what size or temperature. If you're truly dissatisfied with the digs, I suggest renaming them to their personality, i.e. "hellhole", "deprivation tank", "sweat lodge", or "penthouse suite".

I hate it when I actually try and be helpful.

10:51am bennett4senate:

juuuuuuuuuulia MORE BUTTER

10:51am ?:

The normal studio is in use for a quick fundraising porno shoot. OK, is there any other kind but quick? They don't run over for days and days, and five finger discount the swag, unlike Mouse shoots.

10:51am PMD:

@Lizardner Dave - Excellent idea!

10:53am Ken:

Thank you all for your support during my relocation.

10:53am Cecile:

that's terrible, Stinge. Very bad.

10:55am Carmichael:

Ken, I hope the movers didn't lose anything.

10:57am Movers:

We're just standing here waiting pointedly for our tips.

10:58am JULIA:

oh! Ken you need to get your strength back after that big move! And I put some very special mushrooms in this risotto to give you strength for your next trip!!!

10:58am ?:

Bouncy thighs, bouncy hair. What next?

10:59am stingy d:

i just started riding fixed gear. so i'm taking cars extra seriously now. aways trying to attack me.

11:00am Diagnosis:

Sounds like Julia has an olfactory fetish of some sort. Wonder what else she sniffs?

11:02am andrewwwski:

this is brilliant

11:02am J-Mar:

a few months ago, my wife, son and I saw the scene of a bike accident -- lifeless helmeted biker, surrounded by various motorists. I took that as a sign that I needed to take a break from biking into work every day. it's a drag having to get in the car now, but I try to talk when I can. at least cars usually don't drive on the sidewalks.

11:03am trs:

smell and taste go hand in hand

11:03am J-Mar:

duh, that was supposed to be I try to *walk* when I can.

11:03am Spinal Tap:

Sniff the Glove, Julia.

11:05am stingy d:

well... i bike FOR work. but i hear ya. riding tenuously is not the way to be out there.

11:06am Hummer driver:

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

11:08am scared:

I often run errands on a single speed coaster braked clunker bike and without a helmet. I realize there are risks to myself without a helmet.
You, sir, biking without brakes are putting the rest of us at risk! I find it hard to believe that whatever your biking talents are, that two hand brakes won't stop you more quickly than jamming your pedals to a stop.

11:08am Vicki:

nice to hear some Danielle Dax

11:09am delivery van driver:

hey, you shouldn't be going so fast!
b4$: you just cut across the bike lane to get to that parking spot, and hit me with your van
driver: yeah well you gotta watch out!!

11:10am stingy d:

i do actually have hand brakes. but just one on the front. but allso i do not start and stop fast like you crazy maniacs. satyin in my lane mane.

11:11am bennett4senate:

but really its those pesky TRAIN DRIVERs and all their box cars!!! you gotta watch out for those guys

11:13am Carmichael:

I tried fixed gear and concluded that one of us is an idiotic concept. I prefer my free-wheel 18 speed mountain bike.

11:13am stingy d:

eh..... don't vote. everyobdy gots to pays the tension.

11:13am Radio School Teacher:

Chewing sounds on mike. Big no-no. We have refresher courses.

11:13am paul:

oh, speaking of Ed Special. i just got a show on WCBN! i'll be starting this saturday at 3am.

11:14am texas scott:

lay off the garlic,ken.

11:14am We see now:

Ken, the BO Enforcer

11:15am dc pat:

can't stress this enough people, WEAR A FUCKIN HELMET. My friend crashed couple months back, landed on his head and broke his neck. He's fine now but he would of gotten dead without a helmet.

I just built up a 15 pound road bike, full campy. I'll take all the gears I can get.

11:15am Chris:

you so smelly, when you were being delivered, the doctor was wearing an oxygen mask

11:15am Carmichael:

A bay leaf under each arm and a Fizzie under the tongue.

11:16am stingy d:

riding fixed now. previously free wheel-single speed. i ride more within my limits of a cyclist now. which is wiser., if you ask me. also my bike is infintiely less likely to need to be "fixed" oddly enough, it is fixed to begin with. so many fewer parts.

11:17am dc pat:

I'm in love with wolf girl but those scratches around her nether regions are bothering me...

you're right there Stinj, fewer parts the better. But I like to go REALLY FAST.

11:17am Chris:

is that ken's other cousin with the fox?

11:18am Mark:

Ken is so smelly he made Right Guard go left, Speed Stick slow down, and Ban come off strike

11:19am Cecile:

awesome, Paul! Ah, yes. The famous overnight shift. I did many of them.

11:19am Ken's Underarms:

We're the pits.

11:21am Mark:

I don't get the Ban one either, I got it from some website

11:21am Carmichael:

Pat, that face looks a LOT like Clay Aiken. Care to revise your desire??

11:24am stingy d:

but if anyone is opposed to people riding fixed gear, i have excellent news for you... it is quickly becoming illegal.

11:26am dc pat:

Clay Aiken must be pretty good lookin.

What about tall bikes? Those things are bitchin.

11:26am Your friend, the Nanny State:

We'll get you under control yet, Mr. D.

11:26am BSI:

re: the rabbit fire cultists:
ah, now THEM'S my kind of people.

11:29am Syd:

That Nagorny track is a total early pink floyd rip. nothing wrong with that.

11:29am bbell:

For Cecile and her sciatica - I just returned from the Chiropractor's office for a spasmed neck muscle. So, I missed LOTS of the show, but it's a little less painful now. A good chiro can help you, careful stretching (like the yogi said), but sciatica is something out of alignment pressing on the nerve, so it needs to be adressed by a chiro or structural integrationist (Rolfer). Feel better!

11:31am Ken:

Syd - I was THAT close to getting up Interstellar Overdrive to follow that track!

11:31am stingy d:

riders of tall bikes, to the best of my knowledge are not getting ticketed, for what is quite literally termed "fancy riding", but lepers have a better chance of getting laid.

11:35am Chris:

those motorized bikes are now illegal in chicago

11:36am dc pat:

who cares about that when you're riding with your mustachioed head in the clouds?

11:38am stingy d:

non-lethal transportational devices should be getting a lot more support if you ask me.

wait wait wait... dream about jonathan??

11:40am dc pat:

you got that right. instead more space is being made for more SUVs because, guess what: they're not going away.

11:41am stingy d:

speaking of dreams i had a great one last night. i dreamed about being teenagers with all my current and one old friend and living without a need for money and having so many basketball cards and kissing a girl. and lighting sparklers. and killing a moth.

11:43am borr-ode:

You're a foul one, Mr. Ken,
You're a nasty wasty skunk.
Your heart is full on unwashed socks,
You soul is full of gunk, Mr. Ken.
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: stink, stank, stunk!

11:44am Ike:

Stingy, that's downright poetic.

This is a goddamn great show Ken, at least from what little I've heard so far.

11:47am Chris:

it's 2010 ken, you need to get one of those intestinal transportation devices so you never need to get up to go again.

11:53am Detroit Genius:

Intestinal transportation device...?

Intestinal Ford Etude!

11:54am Cecile:

I thought that was a little more mature and pretty than most of the J-Pop I've heard.

11:54am JCityJensen:

is it illegal to snowboard in NYC parks? http://www.vimeo.com/8375500

11:57am annie:

yes!! i knew it was just a matter of time.. flash mob:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZSEf_4F3jk

11:57am Ike:

How about bison jerky-flavored shampoo? Is there any of that around?

11:57am Chris:

The Ford Probe.

11:58am stingy d:

snowboarding doesn't get you anywhere. but yea, some kid gets a loose tooth because of it, and blam. you got tickets and legislation.

11:58am bbell:

Thank you for my weekly aural vacation, Ken. I love these group tours!

11:59am Detroit Mac:

Got on late... missed all the bike chatter. Rode a fixie in NYC-Brooklyn in the late 1970s into the early 80s (without functioning helmet). Wouldn't do it now. Gotta agree with Bikesnobnyc on the curating of the Fixie Scene: get a functioning brake - not one that has the lever behind the seatpost!
