What Happens When You Let People Sing From Their Heart: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:09am -Ken:

Morning everybody!

Today, swing doggedly into the new wave of head activity. If you can bear it, an explosion of interest will get you onto your two feet as you kiss goodbye to old conflicts and blowups, and resuscitate your strings of enthusiasm.

7:39am Wild Neil||Peace All:

I think I need physical therapy for my right hand. It really hurts and I cannot cut ham. I CAN start a snowblower however. I fell on the ice on 4/17/18, a tuesday at work. It is a workman comp claim. My boss will not dispute it.

7:54am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Hello comrades Ken, Listener Robert, and Wild Neil!

7:55am cory:

is that a Top Secret gif?

♥ 8:04am AnAnonymousParty:

GM all. Can't cut ham? That sucks. Can you still cut the cheese?

♥ 8:06am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning, Ken and HazMat-ics.

8:24am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Welcome cory, AnAnonymousParty, Ken from HP. I was wondering where the hell you guys were.

Wild Neil,

So can you sue your company and get handsomely compensated? If not, you might try it as I always see in the news people in the USA suing the heck of the companies for millions of dollars for 'trivial' things like falling to the floor because of a banana peel (which is hilarious by the way).

♥ 8:29am -Ken:

Neil, sorry to hear about your hand. Cut Jello first, then move on to butter, then bread, THEN ham.

♥ 8:47am AnAnonymousParty:

If you can start a snowblower, can you start a chainsaw? I can usually cut ham with a chain saw so maybe you can do that until your hand recovers its ham cutting abilities again.

♥ 8:48am -Ken:

@AAP, exce illent point, He could also just use an electric knife, but it is true that chainsaws are more fun.

♥ 8:51am AnAnonymousParty:

The nice thing about the chain saw is that in addition to slices it makes plenty of shredded ham for omelets, and fast.

9:01am queems:

good morning!

9:01am Vincent Nifigance:

God Bless us, everyone.

♥ 9:02am Sem:

Hello, SM Ken, and all who float with him.

9:02am Davy Gravy:

Love the Breeders! Thank you Clay. How about some Bongwater in the 8 o’clock hour tomorrow?

9:03am ?:

Nothin' a little Stan Boreson couldn't cure.

9:03am Linda Lee:

'morning Ken! beautiful opener!

♥ 9:04am MD:

AHOY HOY!

9:04am Linda Lee:

dear me, you're on my wavelength today Ken! bravo!!

9:05am melinda:

Sorry about your hand Neil. Have you seen a doctor?

♥ 9:05am Sem:

Usually favour a Can opener, but Cut opener works well, too.

9:06am Colin and Danie in Durham UK:

Damn, we were away with the fairies then heard the opening notes to Our Lips Are Sealed and realised Ken must have started, meaning we missed the pre-show gifs. again. it's been months now

9:07am melinda:

I like hearing the lyrics to this song, it was a favorite back in the day but I didn't hear half of what they were saying

9:07am Ɉɕfɕ (:

THE ALICE THE SEAAAAAAAAAAAL SONG!!!!

♥ 9:07am -Ken:

Yes, where is Murakami with her early GIF cheat sheet?

9:08am Linda Lee:

finally! the title of my bio: 'away with the fairies'. thank you Colin & Danie!

9:08am Lixiviated Life:

return to start

♥ 9:08am The Oscar:

@Ɉɕfɕ I love that that's caught on :) Mornin' all!

♥ 9:10am Webhamster Henry:

Greetings Wednesday morning Timesluts!
Nice 'n' droney lip-sealing there.

♥ 9:10am geo in jc:

Hi Ken the pre-show gifs have been permanently burned into my memory thanks

9:11am BronwynB:

good morning ken and everyone

9:11am Colin and Danie in Durham UK:

Our pleasure, Linda x

9:12am Linda Lee:

btw, Ken, found you twerking. finally. youtu.be...

9:13am queems:

@linda omfg

9:13am Ɉɕfɕ (:

I'm a bit scared of clicking on that youtube link, Linda Lee. Could somebody please check for me?!

♥ 9:14am Brian C.:

Anybody going to the rekkid fair on Sunday?

9:14am Ɉɕfɕ (:

The Moles! Thanks, Ken! I knew you'd eventually play my request from 4 years ago.

9:15am Linda Lee:

at long last, the tuchus.

9:15am Gil:

Youtube video - Not entirely safe for work

♥ 9:15am NotARealDoctor:

@Brian C, I was planning to but I was informed that it's going to be held in a 28 sq ft box and I'm not sure I can fit in there with all the people planning to come.

♥ 9:15am melinda:

I think that might just be pelvic grind as opposed to twerking. But what do I know?

♥ 9:16am -Ken:

Damn Linda Lee, I didnt think ANYBODY would ever find that! I danced in Polish and everything. YES COME TO THE FAIR! COME ONE COME ALL! COME TO THE GLORIOUS FAIR!

9:16am queems:

i’ve definitely seen that video before

9:16am Linda Lee:

not bad, Ken! love the shorts.

♥ 9:17am N.A.R.D.:

Ken, will there be a Clay Pigeon Chair Chucking booth?

9:18am judy from croton:

Thanks for moonrise, ken. Will be my favorite song forever.

♥ 9:18am melinda:

I like the halo gif

9:18am Vincent Nifigance:

Yeah Ken, we really have to facilitate chair throwing, ignore Wild Neil's workman's comp horror story, Clay would wear his injuries as a badge of honour.

9:19am jess:

I love this song

♥ 9:20am N.A.R.D.:

I was thinking have Clay in charge of a booth where people can come and pay five bucks to toss a chair against the pavement outside. If it shatters you get a free pick from a $1 bin of records.

♥ 9:20am N.A.R.D.:

Proceeds go to buying new chairs at the station.

♥ 9:24am ifeelfatnsassy:

Great set so far... Saw Cut Chemist last night and he closed out with Home Away From Home, so it's like I never slept.

9:24am Linda Lee:

yes baby. free your mind & your ass will follow. yes.

9:24am dei xhrist:

Oh yes Funkadelic. This calls for earbuds.

9:25am Lixiviated Life:

ok, ok, you've done it. so now what?

9:25am Wild Neil||Peace All:

The assflute is the epitome of bad taste. Well done, Ken!
I like the chainsaw idea. I have a Stihl owned by my late father. I will NOT sue Guardian Fire Test Labs as they are a family business and have been very good to me. They are merely footing the medical bill which is fair, I think.

♥ 9:25am The Oscar:

Anyone see the Process Church documentary that came out a couple years back? Pretty entertaining-- I never realized just how involved Funkadelic were with that scene.

9:26am Linda Lee:

wow .. the tuchustrumpet!

♥ 9:27am -Ken:

Interesting how art from the Middle f'in Ages can still be considered bad taste today...

♥ 9:28am rsj:

on mornings like this I think WFMU should have a spire on top, of some sort

♥ 9:28am Vivian:

Ken, that reminds me, have you seen 'Paradox', Neil's latest movie project?

9:29am Linda Lee:

bad taste is eternal.

♥ 9:29am -Ken:

Vivian, I have not! I generally try to avoid Neil Young's movies like the plague. How bad is it?

9:30am Linda Lee:

he makes movies?

♥ 9:30am -Ken:

@LindaLee Terrible ones, yes!

9:31am Ɉɕfɕ (:

is it "ASS" as in the animal or as in the butt? Because when I hear this song I always picture my donkey following me. I just need some clarification in case I'm doing it wrong.

♥ 9:31am AnAnonymousParty:

@Neil, just be sure to replace the chainsaw bar oil with olive oil.

♥ 9:31am Vivian:

Oh Ken, it's terrible! The music is great but there is no plot. You wonder why someone just entered the picture.

♥ 9:32am Vivian:

Linda Lee, the director and auteur is Daryl Hannah. Its over the top artsy.

9:33am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Talking about Neil Young, why o why, KEN, you haven't played "Carnival" from his latest album? Perhaps my favourite Neil Young song along with the ones you usually play (except the T-bone one)?

♥ 9:34am Webhamster Henry:

I actually had that "Journey Into Sound" record. And Ofra Haza.

9:35am Linda Lee:

had no idea bad cinema was endangered ..

♥ 9:37am -Ken:

f0f0, The Funkadelic song is indeed about a Mule, not a butt. Thanks for highlighting that clarification.

♥ 9:42am The Oscar:

Ha-- was not expecting a Firesign Theatre sample! My dad used to call me "youth" in reference to that bit.

9:42am Linda Lee:

loved that Ken & Andy sample from the record library.

9:42am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Linda Lee,

Bad cinema is not endangered. Netflix is taking care of it.

9:43am Linda Lee:

indeed. :-L

9:44am mrstrrCaz:

Ha haha
classic ! " jazz!"

♥ 9:45am -Ken:

Legal ID coming up: Here is the script:

WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, in New York City and Rockland County at 91.9FM and online at WFMU Dot org. I need a volunteer to ride out
And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgetting all the words she said
She said: "Billy, don't be a hero
Don't be a fool with your life"
Billy don't be a hero
Come back and make me your wife"
And as Billy started to go, she said
"Keep your pretty head low
Billy, don't be a hero
Come back to me"

9:47am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Phew! Thanks for the clarification, Ken. Now, if you don't mind I'm instructing my imaginary mule to follow you whenever the Funkadelic song is played.

9:47am JakeGould:

Ken! Wow, Kumamon knows CPR!

Anyway, here’s an idea: WFMU should have a gallery of failed pieces of infrastructure and hardware. Like nicely displayed on plinths with wall text and descriptive text. Like any remnants of the Monty Hall carpet still around? Just show that off. Charge like $1 tro come in an see it. Like a sideshow.

9:49am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Perfect master plan, JakeGould. I'd pay $10 the station for NOT coming in and see.

♥ 9:54am Ike:

Good news: The Queens pirate at 91.9 doesn't seem to be around lately. So FMU's 91.9 sounds better in western Queens. The pirate moved to 105.5 where it harasses WDHA instead. And it also streamrolls right over the LPFM owned by (I swear I am not making this up) the Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party and its timeshare w/the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn.

9:54am northguineahills:

If you meet anyone from Oz, don't mention the Great Emu War. It's something they rather not talk about. en.wikipedia.org...

9:54am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Is that a peacock in that GIF? I have never seen a peacock without its beaitiful plumage. It certainly looks like a Kangaroo!

9:55am Cecile:

Well, watching German cop shows, it looks like "schlampen" is pretty synonymous with "whore" or "slut".

9:55am Linda Lee:

believe that's an emu. peacocks are blue.

9:56am Linda Lee:

.. and shorter!

9:56am Cecile:

Linda, and that makes perfect sense - NZ vs AUS

"I AM DOING A BIRD HAKA! PISS OFF!"

9:56am Linda Lee:

must say i love the animal GIFs, Ken. they tickle my fancy.

♥ 9:57am N.A.R.D.:

There's an albino peacock that lives not far from me, but still much shorter than a kangaroo.

9:57am JakeGould:

@Ike: Why can’t you just call “Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party” Tuidang like this rest of us? en.tuidang.org

9:57am queems:

@ike i love your pirate updates so much

9:58am Linda Lee:

i was lucky enough to care for a friend's peacock while they were on vacation. a pretty impressive bird!

♥ 9:58am tadpole:

An albino peacock sounds like something Andy Breckman could make fun of for hours.

♥ 9:58am N.A.R.D.:

I think the image for Quiek Quiek is incorrect. I submit this as evidence: en.wiktionary.org...

9:58am jan:

Ken: speaking of station ID, any thoughts on the passing of Art Bell, Coast to Coast AM- such an unsettling radio program found when twisting the radio knob during insomniac nights.

9:58am Cecile:

Oh, and for the Germanically inclined, I recommend Ankathie Koi's album "I Hate The Way You Chew".

If you could play "Black Mamba", Ken, you will be treated to the line "I'm the cashew/You're allergic to."

She sings in English, but she has a certain Teutonically arty "not quite right" vibe around her. She is darling.

♥ 9:59am tadpole:

@Jake something tells me they padded their numbers.

♥ 9:59am melinda:

Who did the monkeys w/fiddles gif? I really like it.

9:59am Linda Lee:

Andy *wishes* he was that attractive.

♥ 9:59am N.A.R.D.:

To be fair, it DOES look an awful lot like a turkey wearing a fancy hat: flic.kr...

10:00am Linda Lee:

let's have the phone number with that script, Ken!

10:00am Linda Lee:

our peacock had no use at all for pea hens .. but turkeys turned him on.

♥ 10:01am tadpole:

Hm... legal id fail.

♥ 10:01am -Ken:

♥ 10:01am tadpole:

@Linda you had a pet horny peacock?

10:02am Undead83:

Is Ken out of the building?

♥ 10:02am N.A.R.D.:

Another more turkier angle: s3-media4.fl.yelpcdn.com...

10:02am Linda Lee:

our neighbor's peacock was sort of the community mascot. belonged to us all.

10:02am queems:

a lady for once!!

♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park:

Meets requirements!

10:02am Ɉɕfɕ (:

SCHLAAAAMMMPPPPEEEEEIIIITTTZZZIIGGEEEERRRRR!!!

Ken, before you backannounce let me tell you how to pronounce it correctly:

Schl - Sounds like saying 'Chisel'
Ampei - like 'Umpire'
Tziger - like 'Tsar'

So basically is like saying "Chisel-umpire-tsar".

Yup. And I know this because I did a German introductory course in '98 (with a specialization in Alphabet pronunciation).

10:03am Roberto:

YES zebra is dancing in rhythm to Blue Pepper!

10:03am βrian:

Pee hens? I don't want to hear any more.

10:03am Cecile:

They had peacock food you could buy at the zoo in Bermuda. The peacocks just hung around the dispensers waiting to be fed.

♥ 10:03am tadpole:

I wonder if there is a website for rejecting communistic peacock sharing. I hope not.

♥ 10:03am melinda:

My ID's are boring but if I tried to be funny it would fail

10:04am Linda Lee:

@Brian ~ them's the females. peacocks are the males. :-D
was that you, melinda? good job!

10:04am Cecile:

One of my German conversation buddies said about "ch" was to just pretend you were a cat spitting out a hairball.

10:04am queems:

way to go @melinda!

10:04am Cecile:

Melinda, the FCC has no humor when it comes to them.

♥ 10:04am melinda:

It was me, yes

♥ 10:05am N.A.R.D.:

I'll try to get the 11:00 one and do the lyrics to Tuchus

10:05am Linda Lee:

brava!!

10:05am βrian:

Is Ike here today? He's gonna swoop down on that apostrophe.

10:05am Linda Lee:

may we please hear the tuchus song, Ken?

10:06am Linda Lee:

do it, NARD! :-D

10:06am Roberto:

I'm always happy to swoop on an errant apostrophe.

10:07am Linda Lee:

Ken, may we hear the tuchus song please?

10:07am Roberto:

However, she pronounced ".org" correctly so we'll let this one go.

♥ 10:09am melinda:

How does one mispronounce org? Is it dorky to spell it out?

10:09am Lixiviated Life:

Is it not enough that we have to do our own checkout at the Walmart, now we got to do the station ID too?

10:09am queems:

i’m going to the record fair on saturday probably

10:10am Linda Lee:

28,000 square feet of pure fun! sounds incredible, really.

10:11am queems:

i thought it was 28 square feet

10:11am βrian:

My record collection is complete. But you guys go.

♥ 10:11am Ken From Hyde Park:

Can one redeem the $2 coupon on the website? Fatal flaw?

10:11am Cecile:

queems, I can handle 28 square feet.

10:11am Balls_Benedict:

Spackle that crack sailor!

10:11am Lixiviated Life:

come o the record fair,
buy your own records,
play them at home.
then you don't need to listen to Ken

♥ 10:11am joe mulligan:

we need vid streams of the beschpackling

10:12am Linda Lee:

@melinda ~ Rex says orgie (rhymes with porgy). i believe that's the way.

♥ 10:12am !ke:

ROTFL on the spackle!!! PLEASE ACTUALLY DO THAT! There's always at least a couple of monumental cracks.

♥ 10:12am tadpole:

I might go just for a free butt spackle. sounds intriguing.

10:12am queems:

@cecile 28 square feet is plenty

10:12am Lixiviated Life:

caulk not spackle

10:13am queems:

i don’t need 28,000 square feet of butt cracks

10:14am Roberto:

It's not dorky to spell out .org, just unnecessary and annoying. People don't say "dot see oh em" so they shouldn't say "dot oh are gee" either.

10:14am Mark R:

AKA DJ Phil McCracken

10:14am Cecile:

YES!

10:14am FletcherNYC:

This is my favorite ‘favorite.’

10:14am Cecile:

This is the only impression I can do. Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl. Very specific.

♥ 10:14am The Oscar:

Aw, Shelley <3

10:14am JakeGould:

Ladies choice at the record fair… That is if the lady likes butt cracks and getting her foot run over by tiny handcarts filled with records.

10:15am βrian:

For a good seal, pound in the oakum.

♥ 10:15am Tim 07030:

I'm bartending at the Record Fair Saturday noon-4, stop by and we can negotiate an exchange of money for beer!

10:15am misterpickles69:

I loved Popeye as a kid!!

♥ 10:16am tadpole:

Is it suggested to shave before getting spackled?

♥ 10:16am -Ken:

Can anybody think of any other tracks that include studio voices, rehearsal sounds, etc?

10:16am Linda Lee:

@Roberto ~ do believe we spell it out is so people get it right in the address bar. otherwise they might put in 'orb' or something.

10:16am queems:

i’ll be wearing my best pair of high waisted pants

10:16am Roberto:

Linda, those people don't deserve an internet :)

10:17am Linda Lee:

was just thinking we need more rehearsal tapes. i do think there are a bunch from the Sun studios back in Elvis' day..

10:17am Cecile:

Anything from Skip Spence's Oar?

♥ 10:18am -Ken:

Clay Pigeon will be at the Fair Saturday afternoon. I will be working at the bar a good chunk of the weekend

10:18am Cecile:

There are a couple of VU tracks that have Lou counting in and talking at the beginning.

10:18am JakeGould:

Doesn’t The Pixies “Where is My Mind” start out with studio noises?

♥ 10:18am tadpole:

Does that Dylan and Bette Midler have studio voice overs? or is that just the studio talking.

10:18am Cecile:

All the Troggs Tapes.

♥ 10:18am tom from Glasgow:

hullo

♥ 10:18am Vivian:

Ken, while on vacation last week, I listened to your show with my husband. After 2 hours, he asked 'can we listen to something else?". I have to mention, he watched Paradox twice - in one weekend.

10:18am Cecile:

There's gotta be some Beach Boys stuff out there with studio arguments.

10:18am still b/p:

Beach Boys and demon daddy.

♥ 10:19am tadpole:

The Stooges Fun House session does I think. At least some before and after the songs.

10:19am Ɉɕfɕ (:

The Popeye album is a Deluxe Edition. Yes, you heard that right. The other three deluxe editions that exists in the music industry are: Brahms & Bruch Violin Concertos; the Beatles White Album; and Miles Davis' Tutu.

10:19am Cecile:

yes, exactly tadpole

10:19am Whooda:

Harry got SO MANY starlets with that "let's sing together" ploy, no doubt.

10:20am queems:

i feel like i’m at a creepy sex slave carnival

10:20am Linda Lee:

-Ken, here's one: youtu.be...

♥ 10:20am Ken From Hyde Park:

There's some Van Halen song where the producer says "Give me a break."

♥ 10:21am tom from Glasgow:

why is Nilsson half-heartedly imitating a bassoon

10:21am still b/p:

Shelley’s lucky Kubrick wasn’t directing the rehearsal.

10:21am mg:

What a wonderful song.

♥ 10:21am -Ken:

@Tom, it's mouth trumpet!

♥ 10:22am melinda:

@queems haha!

10:22am JakeGould:

Didn’t Kubrick intentionally drive her nuts before that scene to get that performance?

♥ 10:22am Tim 07030:

There are awesome outtakes from the Jerry Lee Lewis 'Southern Roots' sessions with lots of studio chat. Jerry Lee sounds like he may have had a few cocktails.

10:22am Cecile:

Ken, that's Unchained.

♥ 10:22am The Oscar:

I recall a version of "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" by the Cramps where Lux goes OFF on the producer, but I'm fairly certain it's not radio-safe.

♥ 10:22am tom from Glasgow:

@Ken it sure is!

10:22am Ɉɕfɕ (:

I want to Google spackle but I'm scared. So could somebody please explain me what the phrase 'shave before getting spackled' means?

10:23am Vincent Nifigance:

@JakeGould He ragged on her mercilessly throughout the shoot leading her to be such a wreck by the end. Good for the film, probably not so much for her.

♥ 10:23am The Oscar:

Also the legendary Orson Welles outtake (which is sampled nearly in its entirety on "Jolly Green Giant" by Negativland).

10:23am Cecile:

Robert Altman directed Popeye, so I don't get the joke.

10:23am Wild Neil||Peace All:

@still-I think I read Ms. Duvall had some kind of breakdown doing that take multiple times-was it ten or twelve maybe? She was absolutely spent and exhausted and at wits end.

10:23am Bill W:

Popeye did pretty well at the box office, it's just that the budget was extremely high (cocaine).

10:23am still b/p:

Reportedly Kubrick was maximum mean and relentless on her.

10:24am Cecile:

Bill W, I saw Popeye twice in the theatres!

♥ 10:24am tadpole:

there's that Neil Young "Journey Through the Past" outake thing. not studio just the band working things out I guess.

♥ 10:24am melinda:

At the Vimeo site there is footage of Clay Pigeon interviewing people at a previous record fair, including Matt Dillon. Matt seemed uncomfortable but cooperated. Clay was smooth.

♥ 10:24am tom from Glasgow:

i think they're on about "The Shining" Cecile

10:24am BronwynB:

i like this a lot, but then im a real sucker for loud bangy piano

10:25am Linda Lee:

clip i shared @10:20 has Yoko arranging a Beatles tune in the studio.

10:25am sigrid sarda:

Thank You Ken!! :)

10:25am Vincent Nifigance:

@still b/p there's a 30 minute documentary of the making of The Shining on most home video releases directed by his daughter where you can see him being 'frustrated' with her, and buddying up to Jack.

10:25am Listener Robert:

Ah, I got you all beat. I have Jack Mercer singing "Popeye The Sailor Man" on a Little Golden 78.

10:25am Cecile:

ah, OK, tom

♥ 10:25am tom from Glasgow:

@Bronwyn i kind of think of it as "saloon piano"

10:26am FletcherNYC:

Led Zeppelin “let me get this plane out..” “No leave it” Black Country Woman

10:26am BronwynB:

i like this better than the original, kind of like how i like the loud bangy piano demo of old brown shoe better than the real thing

♥ 10:26am The Oscar:

I'm not sure how this happened, but Popeye was my family's New Year's Day tradition when I was a kid. We kept it up for *years*.

10:26am Ɉɕfɕ (:

Wait. Did Kubrick direct Popeye?! I thought having a Deluxe Edition was going over the top already.

10:26am Bill W:

You can see and hear Kubrick yelling at Shelley in the short making-of film on The Shining DVD. (btw The Shining is Kubrick's worst film.)

10:27am Wild Neil||Peace All:

Kubrick was a raging workaholic. I read part of a memoir by his driver. He worked nights, holidays, weekends. And made other people serve him the whole time. Liked the art, not the artist. Just like Dali who kicked his sister in the head.

♥ 10:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

I hope Moondog can make it to the record fair. Or maybe you could sell "autographed" pictures of Moondog. Folks would love to see a goat in Brooklyn.

♥ 10:27am Sem:

Like listening to Bob, while watching Nicholson pogoing.

10:28am still b/p:

To all the people who says stars are so overpaid they should never bitch about anything, I say yeah check out that particular treatment and tell me you’d give it a try yourself with only a chill deferential smile.

10:28am JakeGould:

@tom: I’ve heard it called “Jangle Piano.”

10:29am Lixiviated Life:

Kubrick driver wrote a memoir?

♥ 10:29am tadpole:

@keninhp holy yes. that'd be great

♥ 10:29am The Oscar:

@Ɉɕfɕ No, but it was directed by Robert Altman. It was also written by Jules Feiffer and produced by Robert Evans, and Nilsson's songs were arranged by Van Dyke Parks. The amount of talent that went into it was kind of staggering.

10:29am Hey Judas:

Nobel Prize wasted on Dylan -- when they could have awarded Mark E. Smith; and now now it's too late...

@TheOscar: I remember being 11 years old at the time and going to see “Popeye” at the Oceana Theater in Brooklyn… I distinctly remember walking out into the lobby after the film and saying “That sucked!”

♥ 10:37am The Oscar:

I once went to a screening of “Gimme Shelter” and sat behind a drunk guy who yelled “Jagger, you prick!” every time Mick Jagger appeared onscreen. If you’re thinking, “But that’s every scene,” you are correct.

10:37am foreign_listener_k:

A timely message of cosmic sympaths for the devil if we all just cool out

10:38am JakeGould:

3 years later I would say, “This stinks!” loudly in the same theater when I cut out of school to see “Superman III”

10:38am Lixiviated Life:

@TheOscar, thats why i no longer go to the movies

10:38am Vincent Nifigance:

@JakeGould Superman III is a masterpiece!

@LL Honestly, that's part of why I *do* go to the movies! I once saw a literal fistfight break out halfway through Repo Man. I shit you not, it was during the "Repo Man is always intense" scene.

♥ 10:40am melinda:

@Oscar no way! Was it a regular theater?

10:41am JakeGould:

@VincentNifigance: There were 5 people in the theater… Me and 2 friends and some dad with his son… The dad heard me complaining and yelled at me to shut up… Then his son tugged at him and said, “Dad, this movie does stink…”

10:42am Vincent Nifigance:

@JakeGould " Superman, you're just in a slump! you'll be great again! you can do it superman!"

♥ 10:42am The Oscar:

@melinda No, it was the Brattle, a little indie repertory theater in Harvard Square. It pretty much always draws the exact crowd you want for any given movie.

10:42am David in London:

Ron was a bloody genius.

10:42am Mark R:

I think "Dirt" is my favorite Stooges song. "I'm dirt and I don't care." Yeah, I know what you mean, man. Plus, I love the drums and the shimmering sound of Ron Asheton's guitar.

10:43am Lixiviated Life:

@TheOscar ... a fist fight?
where are you going to the movies?
i may need to re-consider my previous anti-movie position.

10:43am still b/p:

I almost never go to the pictures anymore and the mf-ing talkers is part of it. I don’t just want them stopped, I want them shamed, shoved out, pilloried and banned!

10:44am Ɉɕfɕ (:

I think you were watching Repo Man 4-D version, The Oscar. In 4D movies actors seem like they are next to you. I once went to an obscure movie theater in the USA and I noticed PeeWee Herman sitting next to me doing something odd with his hands. that's the magic of 4D!

10:45am Mark R:

As my friend Frank pointed out, you bought a 6-CD boxed set of an album that was only 33 minutes long!

10:45am JakeGould:

I finally watched the original “Supergirl” a few years back… Wow! That was not good.

10:45am David in London:

@Mark R, I second that emotion. Scott’s backbeat is stunning solid.

♥ 10:47am melinda:

@Oscar I remember seeing it at the Varsity in Austin which was the main arthouse cinema at the time but can't imagine a fight breaking out in such a venue. I'd like to visit the Brattle sometime. Not for the fights, necessarily.

@Melinda It's honestly one of my favorite places on earth. Fights are rare, but, generally speaking, the weirder the movie, the weirder the crowd.

LOOSEN UP AND BE HAPPY! See? People can be order to be happy and people become happy. This song proves it.

10:49am BronwynB:

@tom: he's not the biggest jerk for once, no. but there is a weird moment where at the end murry is scrambling for SOMEONE to be on his side and goes "mike you're on my side right?" and there's an awkward pause and then mike's like "...yeah"

Did you miss me over the weekend
If you did, I'm sorry

But now that I'm here
I don't want to bore you
With an irrelevant conversation
But you see, darling
It's about time for me to
Get real serious about you

Because if someone was
To rip me off of you
I couldn't account for
My actions, after all
And knowing the way I feel
Knowing that you should
Be mine, all the time

But you see
I not only want you, baby
I need you

And the need is so strong
It's almost like that of a junkie
In other words, baby
I just got to have you
Listen to me, darling
Please, listen to me
