Unprotected Space Cadets in Norway: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:29am -Ken:

Morning all!

6:51am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Nothing really to say….

♥ 6:54am Dave in Vermont:

7:12am cory:

mornin'

♥ 7:21am -Ken:

Hi again all - any requests?

♥ 7:24am maestroso:

G'morning Ken! Can you play some Tenniscoats?

7:25am cory:

The Fuck Buttons - Brainfreeze

♥ 7:33am Ken From Hyde Park:

For some reason, I've been thinking of songs about rats. How about "Great King Rat" from Queen or "Rat Salad" from Black Sabbath?

7:52am Wild Neil:

Dear Ken,
Please play Dirty Beaches. Is that the right thematic choice for your show? Or should it be much rowdier? If not Dirty Beaches then something from the new Can singles release.

8:30am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Dreigroschenoper, „Das Lied von der unzulänglichkeit des menschlichen Strebens“, a.k.a. "Song of the Futility of All Human Endeavour", a.k.a. "Song of Uselessness". Jim Dale did a good version of it in a 2006[?] revival, but I've never heard a bad one….

8:33am glenn:

my request - i am the fly.
please and thank you.

8:37am FưFư (:

Morning, Ken, good people!

On behalf of Ken From HP: 'Rats in my Room'.

♥ 8:44am -Ken:

Thank you all, Keep em coming!

♥ 8:52am AnAnonymousParty:

Rat theme? Rat Trap by Boom Town Rats? But no Ratt, please.

8:55am Nacho:

Good morning everyone! Ken, you could play something of Perrosky. Maybe "en la carretera" from the album "cielo perro"... anything really.. they play different styles.. You can find them on bandcamp.

8:55am Roberto:

Wife just cut me off donating. Too many goddam hurricanes. Trying to figure out a clandestine way of getting some monies to FMU...

8:56am FưFư (:

Another request, a GIF request:

- Trump throwing toilette paper to the people afflicted by the hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

8:58am Mark S:

how about a gif of Trump shining flashlights in people's eyes

9:01am melinda:

Morning Ken! I like this rats song.

9:01am Aaron Working In Newark:

Good morning everyone

9:02am wfmu listener phillip:

@ken would it be in bad taste to play "guns" by Negativland?

♥ 9:02am Krys O.:

It's a Fred Lane kinda day.

9:02am sara:

♥ 9:05am Threemoons:

Hey Ken! Feeling pokey this AM; silver lining to being late for "work"=hearing more of your show.

♥ 9:06am Threemoons:

BTW renewed my SFL; plan on donating later in the month to get my heart back on my profile/see how much I can give as finances develop/devolve accordingly... :D

9:07am Mark Williams:

White Belly Rat by Lee Perry! Good one, that, but not sure it's compiled anywhere. Oh Lemmy...

♥ 9:08am Krys O.:

Hot Rats

♥ 9:08am pantz:

How about some Jesus Lizard, Ken?

9:08am Thwacko:

Wow, awesome cover. Thanks Ken!

9:09am papageno:

Ummagumma - Beat me to it...

9:09am Okasa:

I'll second anything by Zappa or Captain Beefheart, so Hot Rats is a good choice.

♥ 9:10am Sebastian:

Love me some Motörhead!

9:11am Nick S.:

Art Trip and the Static Sound-Negative Energy. Right up your alley Ken!

9:11am Nick S.:

It's new, btw.

9:12am Motobro:

Sweet raspberries cover!

9:13am Roberto:

It's Wovers Wednesday! Or maybe Covers Cwednesday?

9:13am Thwacko:

I would never in a million years guess this was Def Leppard.

9:14am Okasa:

Ohayo Ken Kaicho! And good morning dirty dirty Ken-o-philes.

9:15am Motobro:

Duh, (hitting head with a wrench) Bad Finger cover....

9:16am Roberto:

Oh wait this is the original. I thought it was the They Might Be Giants version at first.

♥ 9:16am Threemoons:

Love this set so far. Me too RE Zappa or perhaps some Pink Floyd? Gotta get motivated to actually put on clothes and makeup. And then actually leave the house. And perhaps go to work.

9:17am Thwacko:

LOL @ Motobro

9:18am Sam:

Oh my god dude, any girl who doesn't want you because you don't have a car, is not worth your time. Find a real woman.

9:19am Thwacko:

Been there, Alice.

9:19am glenn:

preferably a real woman with a car.

♥ 9:20am tadpoles:

Rats - by Syd Barrett. Cheers.

9:20am glenn:

does khlam have any songs about rats?

9:20am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Hey, that's my situation - looking for a girl with a job, and a car, and a house with cable

9:21am Nick K (Killer):

great song

9:21am Thwacko:

I haven't had cable since 1995, and other than sports I don't miss it.

9:22am Roberto:

Best post-Syd Floyd song.

9:22am Nick K (Killer):

How about some Ted Nugent

♥ 9:23am pantz:

Got any Chris Gaines back there?

9:24am Thwacko:

Bizarre Pink Floyd song, never heard it.

♥ 9:25am Threemoons:

Woop, PFloyd, thx!

♥ 9:25am MD:

Good Morning My Freeform Family!

♥ 9:26am -Ken:

9:29am Rat:

9:29am <£tonigipBy^]4:

BULGARIA

9:29am Thwacko:

I feel like I should be playing Contra or Ninja Gaiden.

9:32am glenn:

i always felt incense and peppermints was a perfect song for the first 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

9:33am Danny in Bloomingburg:

Howdy Ken. The app on my phone keeps buffering but still digging the tunes

♥ 9:33am steveo:

good news: i cancelled my new york times subscription and gave the money to wfmu instead

9:33am Paul In Bloomfield:

Hey Ken

9:34am Paul In Bloomfield:

wow. did I miss a Joy Division cover earlier??

♥ 9:35am steveo:

don't worry, I'm still a crossword subscriber and they pay the constructors dirt, so they are still making money off of me

♥ 9:35am Ken From Hyde Park:

Pledge here to keep it coming! pledge.wfmu.org...

♥ 9:36am steveo:

shelly's really getting down to this brix

9:37am Roberto:

That's not a bad idea, steveo.

9:37am Roberto:

About cancelling the NY Times subscription, that is.

♥ 9:38am steveo:

[insert thumbs up emoji]

9:39am northguineahills:

insert where? [insert tongue sticking out smirking smiley emoji]

♥ 9:39am -Ken:

Coming up in this song: Graham Nash tries to get the crowd of stoners to clap along as Neil Young descends into madness, screaming NO NO NO NOOOoooo over and over again.

9:43am Thwacko:

I've been up for hours and hours, since 2:00 AM.

9:44am Nick K (Killer):

Let Freedom Ring, Right Wing and proud of it...

♥ 9:45am steveo:

ngh: whereever you need it most, I guess

9:46am Nick S.:

S.Y.P.H. !!! Yay!

9:46am pierre:

Cool cover !

9:46am Thwacko:

I know a Roland TR-707 when I hear one, having owned one for years.

9:47am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

I canceled NYT a couple years ago after one of their editors wrote this and they actually published it:

"I often hear from readers that they would prefer a straight, neutral treatment — just the facts. But The Times has moved away from that, reflecting editors’ reasonable belief that the basics can be found in many news outlets, every minute of the day. They want to provide `value-added' coverage." - www.nytimes.com...

9:48am northguineahills:

I heard the Joy Division cover, and just realized it was Glomag, I know that lad! Once I accumulate some paychecks, I know which dj premiums I want to get.

9:48am Rat:

I cancelled my New York Times subscription due to the fact a copy of the Sunday issue fell on my family and killed them.

9:50am Roberto:

Nothing like a good Fay smelter to kick off the day.

♥ 9:52am MD:

WE NEED BATMAN AND SUPER MAN!!!!

9:53am Nick K (Killer):

fucking Snowflakes

♥ 9:53am Ken From Hyde Park:

Yes, that and staying small. Got to stay small.

♥ 9:53am bk845:

Doesn't that pretty much make the bad guy with a gun the good guy with a gun at the same time? He killed himself, at last check.

9:54am Parq:

So the best cure for a bad guy with a gun is a total fucking police state?

9:54am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

And the good guys in Chinooks should fly in blasting Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone"

♥ 9:54am Patrick:

Ken, ken, ken.... we just need a AC-130 Spookie.

9:54am Lewis:

some one has been reading up on his armaments...

♥ 9:54am AnAnonymousParty:

How 'bout some sugar for the F-35 program?

♥ 9:55am Webhamster Henry:

"Once a boy goes the bad road, the good road is hard to follow. When the good road is hard to follow, the bad road opens when the good road closes" - Father Flotski

♥ 9:55am MD:

Stop the gun Talk...I'm getting Aroused!!!

♥ 9:55am Planet Tyler:

Bill Hader as Spalding Grey....in a helicopter?

9:55am Thwacko:

I'd rather have a Vox SC-30 or Mesa Boogie F-30.

♥ 9:55am melinda:

I was hoping to hear cuando cuando cuando.

9:55am Stevel:

Say "yes " to guns!

9:56am zopa:

ken, i need a hug.

♥ 9:56am Ken From Hyde Park:

Invisible F-35s!

9:56am Vincent Nifigance:

This makes me want some Murph and the Magictones

9:56am Morris from Dresden:

So the good guys will need loooooads of weapons! Shouldn't they be sold much cheaper?

♥ 9:57am MD:

"This ones your Rifle...this one's your gun...one's for killing...the other for fun..." GOOD OLE UNCLE SAM!!!

9:57am rjk:

Hang on, who decides who's a good guy and who's a bad guy?

9:58am FưFư (:

The guy with the biggest gun decides.

9:59am Mark S:

Good guys with guns:

thismodernworld.com...

♥ 9:59am -Ken:

@rjk, clearly not Robert who referred to as the Las Vegas shooter as the Good Guy which is why he has been banned more than any other person here.

♥ 10:00am doctorjazz:

Love this Cohen song, croaks with the best of them!

♥ 10:02am doctorjazz:

(bad choice of words...)

10:02am d:

maybe now play songs about guns. yeah!

♥ 10:02am MD:

JESUS COHEN...

♥ 10:02am Webhamster Henry:

Good gif synch you have there, Ken!

10:03am rjk:

@Ken well that's clearly an insane point of view, and not one I subscribe to, if that's what you think I was inferring you're way off.

10:04am papageno:

negativeland...

10:04am Okasa:

"I want to decide who lives and who dies." - Crow T Robot.

10:04am Vincent Nifigance:

Love that Wesley Willis ending on The Future by Lenny.

♥ 10:05am -Ken:

I wasnt talking about YOU rjk.. I banned the person I was talking about

10:05am Nick K (Killer):

lololol

♥ 10:06am joe mulligan:

In college I was playing "Guns" by negativland (not too loud) and the neighbors came knocking at the door asking, "what's going on in there, world war three??" I said, "kind of!"

10:06am Paul In Bloomfield:

wow what the hell is this audio?

♥ 10:07am Krys O.:

Ralph Carney remixed a Coyle & Sharp bit on guns and you can find it on his Bandcamp.

10:07am Thwacko:

LOL @Vincent Nifigance in regards to Wesley Willis ending.

10:07am Vincent Nifigance:

@Thwacko Never noticed before!

10:07am Parq:

Nice nod from Negland to Steinski.

♥ 10:07am Krys O.:

ralphcarney.bandcamp.com...

♥ 10:07am dgg:

Guns don't kill presidents. The CIA does.

♥ 10:08am Passaic River Blues:

@Krys O.: thank you for the link.

♥ 10:08am doctorjazz:

Hey, can I get the heart back...pretty please...

10:09am zopa:

xtc did a nice song about guns on the english settlement album

10:09am Paul In Bloomfield:

Thanks Krys O

10:09am Thwacko:

Rock on crack, rock on anal sex. The Future: It is murder.

♥ 10:09am SSS:

Democracy depends on moral behavior. In the absence of that, legislation is called for.

10:10am Nick K (Killer):

wow these people are crazy

♥ 10:10am SSS:

Yes

10:10am Henry:

precious bodily fluids

10:11am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

We need guns to defend ourselves against the Communist conspiracy to despoil the sanctity and purity of our precious bodily fluids.

10:12am papageno:

Where I live there's talk of 50 cals on firetrucks... ya know like firetanks.

10:14am Okasa:

Dan Carlin!!

♥ 10:14am pantz:

DAN MFING CARLIN!

10:14am northguineahills:

Is that Dan Carlin?

♥ 10:15am pantz:

Oh, this is that edit some guy made of all Dan Carlin's works. Took him a year

♥ 10:16am MD:

IF AMERICA WILL NOT LEARN TO LOVE...I WILL MAKE THEM...WITH MY GUNS!!!
LOVE EACH OTHER...OR DIE!!!

10:17am annie:

i can always rely on FMU to bring it all back to reality.. Good morning all!

10:17am βrian:

Mainly stupid, really.

♥ 10:18am pantz:

Keep in mind folks, this is a total edit. Carlin never said this the way it sounds.

♥ 10:18am Fuzzy:

That other Carlin guy said "It's called The American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." Play that one for the peeps -- it's forever relevant!

♥ 10:18am dgg:

"the bad decision of the electorate" that's nonsense. Its the failure of the technocrats and the elite to offer a program that speaks to people. The fact that we were left with a nincompoop and a war criminal to choose from is an indictment of the system. Not the electorate. f this guy.

10:19am JakeGould:

I wish Jenny Holzer would co-opt “The Mentally Deranged U.S. Dotard” into some work.

♥ 10:19am dgg:

the electorate has no choice. thats the problem

♥ 10:20am Fuzzy:

@dgg: ding! ding! ding! We have a winner!

10:20am Eric:

AMERICA=DEATH CULT

10:20am Okasa:

Dan stopped doing his political show, Common Sense, back in June. Things got too crazy.

10:20am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Agreed 100% dgg

♥ 10:20am JtotheK:

hi ken, hi everyone. ken - will there be a segment on your show today for off-mic secret-sharing, like last week SUW (which I laughed during)?

10:21am FưFư (:

Who is Dan Carlin and what does he do? If I try to open another tab my browser crashes. Help!

10:21am Nick K (Killer):

lets get back to some good music, fuck this shit

10:21am Seanbelly:

This song is going to be stuck in my head all day.

10:21am Okasa:

Dan Carlin does two podcasts... Hardcore History and Common Sense.

♥ 10:21am pantz:

Check out Hardcore History podcast @fufu

♥ 10:22am Fuzzy:

Oh, I forgot -- you can't play "The American Dream" because George says a "few" bad words in there...oops!

10:22am JakeGould:

Dan Carlin is a white male who has a podcast.

♥ 10:22am MD:

Kim Jong-un
..................SAVE US!

♥ 10:22am pantz:

It's a great podcast and not this bs.

♥ 10:22am steveo:

billboard 2: manson & exedor!

♥ 10:22am -Ken:

OMFG Jake, when did you become so fucking horrible?!

10:23am northguineahills:

You know, this whole spoken "segment", is someone taking his words from multiple podcasts and editing them to what you hear. This is not his words in context.

10:23am FưFư (:

Thanks, Okasa and pantz. Is he left or right winged?

10:23am Nick S.:

Whoo-HA!

♥ 10:23am melinda:

Exodor! I'd forgotten about him.

10:23am Parq:

Superb transition. Says it all.

♥ 10:23am tadpoles:

Thank Heaven for Benny Hill!

10:23am JakeGould:

@ -Ken: Sorry, I am just podcast tired. Everyone I meet tells me they have a podcast.

10:24am Okasa:

@fufu: He is an outsider, he has the Martian view politically.

10:24am middlebun:

Needed this

♥ 10:24am dgg:

this is no time to play the national anthem

10:24am JakeGould:

Does Benny Hill have a podcast?

♥ 10:24am pantz:

I wouldn't say he's either @fufu. Just an amateur historian.

♥ 10:24am melinda:

I've been meaning to check out Dan Carlin's podcasts.

10:24am wittsend:

i wanna hear die fabulösen thekenschlampen

♥ 10:24am steveo:

beautiful piece; one rarely hears it in its entirety

♥ 10:24am Webhamster Henry:

I always imagine Bill Clinton playing this! Thanks Ken!

♥ 10:25am Fuzzy:

Still no boombox for me -- I am not worthy.

♥ 10:25am melinda:

Jake I don't have a podcast.

10:25am JakeGould:

@melinda: Phew!

10:25am northguineahills:

@melinda: His hardcore history podcasts are great if you like the minutia of history, they are well detailed but entertaining.

10:25am Okasa:

@fufu: He is an military historian, so his history podcast is mostly about war and battles and such, but so good.

10:26am Nick K (Killer):

benny hill girls yummy

10:26am JakeGould:

Okay, okay, okay… Holy crap. I’ll give Dan Carlin a chance.

♥ 10:26am melinda:

What's Common sense about?

10:26am Mark S:

Hardcore history is great if you like really long podcasts

10:26am Parq:

Jake at 10:23 - NYker cartoon gagline: "I'm thinking of stopping a podcast."

10:26am wittsend:

thanks ken

10:27am A Better Me:

finally I can dance around the office. Yak it up billy boy

10:27am JakeGould:

@MarkS: Like 30 minute long podcasts?

♥ 10:27am melinda:

Scham, yes!

10:27am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Should I start a podcast? I'm a white male.

♥ 10:27am -Ken:

Guess what Jake? I wasn't playing Dan Carlin's fucking podcast. He didnt mention his fucking podcast. I was playing a piece of audio art by Dan Warren and you're welcome. You are pissing people off at an increasingly rapid rate so take some time and deep breaths and go outside.

♥ 10:27am Webhamster Henry:

Die Schlampen singen - und tanzen!

♥ 10:27am pantz:

@JakeGould Like 3 hour long podcasts

♥ 10:28am paul b:

Oh, now I want a monkey with a machine gun

10:28am pierre:

KEN ! I reccomand the same song but in french as well :
www.youtube.com...

♥ 10:29am steveo:

lyrics for your google translate input: www.flashlyrics.com...

10:29am cat:

yippie meow

♥ 10:29am pantz:

Yeah Jake. Maybe relax and listen to a podcast.

♥ 10:30am bk845:

@pierre Wow, good find!

10:30am Mark S:

no just looked the latest one is 5 and a half hours

♥ 10:31am steveo:

shame shame shame about you
dance you can not

♥ 10:31am MD:

Who Knew!?! Zenu!!!

10:31am northguineahills:

@Jake: uhmmm, his history podcasts are 4+ hours per episode. I break them up, or wait until I have a road trip.

10:32am cat:

that just reminded me of mesopotamia by the b-52s with the "6 or 8 thousand years they laid down the law" in mesopotamia. except the b-52s' song is true

10:32am Nellie:

Omg!

♥ 10:32am MD:

GIMMIE YOUR MONEY!!!!

10:33am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Thetans! Thetans! Thetans! Thetans!

10:33am Ernst Soup:

Thetans, Thetans, Thetans, Wooo!

♥ 10:33am MD:

I kinda like this song!

♥ 10:33am ChrisVB:

haunting

10:33am Thwacko:

I wish i could talk my daughter into doing voice overs like this.

10:33am βrian:

Could we just put the Scientologists and the NRA in a ring together, lock the door, and leave?

♥ 10:34am melinda:

4 hours is quite long. Is it just him talking or does he have guests? I like the 2-3 hour conversation podcasts because it's the next best thing to having a long conversation in real life.

♥ 10:35am melinda:

Nice photo of L Ron

♥ 10:35am Ken From Hyde Park:

I was thinking that a GIF of *45 lobbing paper towels would be a good match for "Yakety Sax."

♥ 10:36am pantz:

It's just him. I like to listen to it before bed and drift off as I imagine the battles and intrigue in my mind.

10:37am Brendan:

Morning Ken. Was that a scientology song? Ha ha.. if you want another Svengali song, Porcupine Tree’s ‘Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth (Before It Is Recycled)’ samples the Heaven’s Gate cult guy on the outro

♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry:

We are crawling into the "Happy Listener's Guide to Mind Control" portion of the show.

Don't forget to pledge! Click on the top of the page please!

♥ 10:38am bk845:

I was told there would be no math.

10:39am Nacho:

Hahaha... I always remember Newman with this song (giphy.com...)

10:40am cat:

theres always math bk845

♥ 10:40am -Ken:

The boombox and heart icons will hopefully be all repaired today or tomorrow - sorry everybody that they got messed up.

10:41am Jeff in Whately:

Niiiice

10:41am Jeff in Whately:

Good morning Ken, hey all.

♥ 10:41am pantz:

That's okay Ken. You're once, twice, three times the station manager

10:42am Roberto:

Oh I think I have this CD but haven't had a chance to listen. Sounds promising.

♥ 10:43am Krys O.:

ACK! Wildflower is my second-most hated song after Hurricane Smith's Oh, Babe! Aieeeeeee!

♥ 10:44am steveo:

can't wait to get home and tell the missus that i would pick her from the garden

10:44am northguineahills:

@melinda: It's just him, but he's great at creating a narrative, which is rare w/ history podcasters.

♥ 10:45am Webhamster Henry:

I'm not sure where this set is going, but it better end up at "I've Never Been To Me"

10:47am cat:

yippie for a regimented wife

♥ 10:47am Webhamster Henry:

See? This is why I don't need a show.

10:47am FưFư (:

Thans, Okasa, people. Now I have a crystal clear fuzzy view about Dan Carlin.

♥ 10:47am steveo:

didn't realize rush covered this

10:47am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Styx sounds so much better when sung by a chipmunk

10:47am rw:

Ken, you're on a roll.

♥ 10:48am -Ken:

@Krys, sounds like SOMEBODY has a problem with Free and Gentle Flowers Growing Wild.

10:48am Mark Williams:

rush covered styx? ouch ouch and three times an ouch.

♥ 10:48am melinda:

So much better than the original.

10:49am Paul In Bloomfield:

this sounds better!

♥ 10:49am steveo:

ken, please set this on autorepeat for after the apocalypse

10:49am Brendan:

Off kilter Rush: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DFQKija7D2I

10:50am βrian:

Cerberus, the multi-headed chipmunk guarded the ferry passage on the river Styx, as I remember.

10:50am Mark Williams:

would love to own a chipmunk wurlitzer.

♥ 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park:

Can "Lady" be added to the karaoke line-up on the 14th at Monty Hall?

♥ 10:51am dgg:

♥ 10:52am dgg:

tom petty refugee is great too

10:52am Okasa:

@FuFu: Dan's latest Hardcore History episode was 6 hours covering Julius Caesar and the Roman's war with the Gauls / Germanic tribes.

10:53am Roberto:

Oh hell yes.

♥ 10:53am joe mulligan:

I'm not on acorns, I'm ok

10:54am FưFư (:

Ken! I can't believe we missed the Chipmunk's cover version of the Suicidal Tendencies when you did the 3-hour long Institutionalized show early this year. I thought we ran out of covers. Then again, we are talking about magical Ken here, aren't we?

Okasa,

Sounds great! I love history, and famous battles and wars are pretty interesting too, not to mention everything Ancient Greece/Rome-related.

♥ 10:56am steveo:

ken: making wrong right since 1976

10:58am JakeGould:

History is about the evil that men do… Like a powerful orange man throwing rolls of paper towels at hurricane survivors in Puerto Rico.

♥ 10:58am steveo:

this is a long-ass set ken...ohhh bed

♥ 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Scott W - Erk, I should've checked! Unfortunately, I have prior commitments and won't be able to attend. I'm sure it'll be great.

11:00am Okasa:

@Fufu - I was a classics major in college. But the only latin I still remember is "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres." and "Romanes eunt domus".

11:01am howard in nyc:

YOU KILLED HIM KEN!!!!!!!!!!!

11:01am Okasa:

What's this then? "Romanes eunt domus?" People called Romanes they go the house?!

11:01am Vincent Nifigance:

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum

11:03am Hannah:

Listening while trying out headphones at B&H. Made it in just under the wire before they close for Succos for ten days

♥ 11:03am Passaic River Blues:

Props due to Matt and Co.

11:03am JakeGould:

@Hannah: Be sure to hoard some of the fruit chews they just give out at that place.

11:03am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

11:03am Evan From Seattle:

Does anyone else listen mostly on the Apple TV app and has had the stream cutting out pretty often since the latest tvOS update?

11:04am Hannah:

Correct spelling = Sukkot, apparently

♥ 11:05am dgg:

oh ooops.

11:05am howard in nyc:

Boots Randolph with original (?) Yakety Sax, I think maybe

11:06am Hannah:

Haha On it @JakeGould

11:07am rjk:

'they', 'them' or 'their'. Is the prefered personal pronoun in those cases.

♥ 11:09am steveo:

this is my favorite vida loca cover www.youtube.com...

♥ 11:10am steveo:

(despite the lack of kazoos)

11:11am βrian:

I can remember a personal pronoun or I can remember a name. I can't do both.

11:12am FưFư (:

Okasa,

Being a classicist is one of my dreams. That, and having Ken's job (especially the one about posting GIFs).

♥ 11:13am -Ken:

Boots Randolph, of course! Boots never got his due..

♥ 11:13am steveo:

the bongo joe gif really likes this track

11:14am muwfInMA:

Today is Buster Keaton’s birthday. Here is a GIF of Buster Keaton putting his life at risk for entertainment. 33.media.tumblr.com...

Are there any Kyary Pamyu Pamyu remixes?

11:16am berbo:

Has Puffy been sued by Sean "puffy" "Puff Daddy" "P-didiy" "I own all variations on puffy " Coombs yet?

11:16am Okasa:

@FuFu: My dream is that in the future, our children may get a chance to major in Gif Curation.

11:17am Listening Out There:

JakeGould: Buster had quite a few of those. The house facade falling is another that comes to mind: www.youtube.com...

11:17am herb.nyc:

@jakegould - thanks for BUSTER info. fyi - his 7(?)dvd collection will be on sale at a thrift shop this w'end (unless it's sold already, at reg price). i just might get it.

♥ 11:18am Webhamster Henry:

@berbo indeed, that's why they have to be called "Puffy AmiYumi" in the US.

11:18am Parq:

Berbo, it would seem he'd have a right to.

11:18am Dean:

Apropos of classics and GIF curation, today is Ask An Archivist Day: https://www2.archivists.org/initiatives/askanarchivist-day

Got this Acid Arab a week or so ago. My 11YO digs it.

11:19am Parq:

Ah, Harry, I hadn't made the connection.

11:19am northguineahills:

Nice Buster Keaton gif!

11:20am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

berbo - they go by Puffy Amiyumi in the US to avoid that.

11:23am egould310:

@fufu Thanks for reminding me about the "Institutionalized" show from earlier this year. I had either forgot, or actively blocked it from my memory. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, it was pretty awesome. Thanks, Ken!

♥ 11:24am JtotheK:

re: Boots Randolph - his cover of 'Take A Letter Maria' received spins as part of the Northern Soul scene.

♥ 11:27am tadpoles:

That Tricky Gif would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Reminds me of Sparks' "Let The Monkey Drive!"

11:27am berbo:

I saw a squirrel on a skateboard this morning on my way to work. He or she was just posing.

11:29am Kris:

Candlelight Vigil tonight outside an Arms Dealer's shop at 815 Route 32 in Tillson, NY from 6:30-7:30, if you feel like promoting it. Today posted a sign reading "Going outta business sale... ha ha ha just kidding".

11:31am ?:

I read the link as 'Ask Anarchivist' (i.e. an archivist that doesn't follows archive rules)

11:32am Wild Neil:

PEACE all. Who is the fake smiling girl?

11:33am Okasa:

@?: Me too.

11:33am JakeGould:

@berbo: “I saw a squirrel on a skateboard this morning on my way to work.” A little voice inside your head said: “Don’t look back, you can never look back.”

♥ 11:34am geoff mcq:

I like this Lali Puna thing A LOT

♥ 11:34am maestroso:

@ Wild Neil: I was wondering that myself.

11:36am Dean:

Heh, every day ought to be Ask an Anarchist Day.

Why is J-O-A-N-N-A pronounced jo-HA-nuh?

11:38am Parq:

Dean, it's that British accent, like how they pronounce "herbs".

♥ 11:38am steveo:

fake smile: www.reddit.com...

♥ 11:38am steveo:

yeah, lali puna was fantastic

♥ 11:39am -Ken:

Whew. Thanks. Now I can relax.

11:40am annie:

11:43am Okasa:

Thanks to Steveo and Reddit, I guess the fake smile girl is Milana Vayntrub.

11:43am annie:

♥ 11:44am maestroso:

Yes, I see. Very pretty.

♥ 11:45am Krys O.:

Who will dance on the floor in the round "

11:47am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

I starred 18 gifs today! My favorites page is even more crashy-unloadable than before!!

♥ 11:47am steveo:

just remember to always think twice (don't think twice)

11:48am cat:

its my favorite bob dylan song too. sounds great electric and acoustic. they said queer instead of clear it was a bit annoying. every bit of poetry falls perfectly in place

11:48am peter:

I love you ken freeman

11:52am herb.nyc:

HERB J in calif supports this show? maybe HERB J in nyc should too. maybe.

11:52am FưFư (:

Are you a data scientist, Cliff ?

11:52am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I always heard it as 'Louise is all right, she' s just here', that is she's inferior to Johanna because she's not unobtainable.

[checks Web] Apparently it's 'near'; I prefer what I heard, but they're pretty close.

♥ 11:53am Ken From Hyde Park:

@Cliff - I was going to suggest that the GIF display page might say "Display 1 GIFs - 10" and then you'd click a button to get "Display GIFs 11 - 20" and so on. What's the procedure to submit ideas such as that?

11:53am Keith from Oregon:

Ken, I'm a swag for life contributor, and I wanted to increase my monthly contribution, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. Could you tell us how to make that happen?

♥ 11:54am Joe D.:

Matt Farley for President

♥ 11:54am pantz:

This is better than Chris Gaines, I guess, but McConnell only represents the idiots outside of Louisville. We're ready to secede.

11:56am Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

FưFư - Used to be, yes.... I love that term, "data scientist", unlike all those other scientists that DON'T use data. Kind of like "acoustic music"!

Thanks Ken!

♥ 11:56am steveo:

goodnight everybody; thanks ken, for the shoo

11:57am FưFư (:

Thanks, Ken, people! It was a pleasure to be with you all. Till next episode and remember, people..Be happy. :)
