Grubbus - as soon as we have out permit, we will do shows from time to time, but we're not going into the club business, so no, we wont be filling the Maxwells void.
@F♋F♋ (:: thanks!
did you know that the portuguese version of the happy birthday song is the only one in the world in which each and every line is different from the other?
@Ken: yes, it is. unfortunately i couldn't find a fine rendition on youtube to send you, but the verses are:
parabéns pra você, nesta data querida, muitas felicidades, muitos anos de vida (happy birthday to you on this beloved date, much happiness, many years of life)
We sang Ralphine's version when I was in elementary school on the playground. I thinks it's something kids passed on to each other in the pre-internet days.
@Roberto: brazil's filled with weird stuff. you should look after et bilu, the brazilian extraterrestrial who speaks with a child's voice about love and happiness.
On Saturday night, a man watched me park my car and smiled huge when I got out. I said "Hi, have we met somewhere?" and he said he was smiling because he loves the WFMU bumper sticker on my little car. We had the best conversation about music and our favourite shows. Now the guy is a new friend. Thank you FMU.
Love that.
@F♋F♋ (: the culture that produced wfmu is the first, but unhappily the larger society is not doing so well and not trending up. india will be the most important country in the world in 50+ years, followed by china.
A bright good morning from the window-less kingdom. Is there any chance that Maxwells will be replaced by an indoor themepark called "Khlam-World? Cmon Ken, use your resident clout!!!

Hello all! Finally! Working alone now, so no longer get a ride from my colleague. End result: the commute home takes way longer...
Anyway, gif review:
-obviously, 1931's "Frankenstein"
-"Heavy Metal", and based on hazy memories (haven't seen it since the 90s), guy playing Devo's "Through Being Cool"
-2 gifs from Swedish scifi series "Hubots", or "Real Humans"
-Jean Vigo's "A Propos de Nice"
-back to "Frankenstein"
-not sure where those girls are from, but they make their location seem very inviting
-and "Gilda"
@crate 10:26: I think I recall bill saying last week that he has home front things to do, and also that he feels his own focus changing away from that genre to other genres. he's had many shows with varying focuses over the years, and most likely will be back with a different genre soon... that's the recollection i have of what he said (it was late-evening and i was tired, and i've been really busy since then; maybe someone else recalls better)
G, are you sure you're not thinking of WFUV? WNYU has some edge sometimes. No nursing home flavor to my ears. Not usually much personality though. The New Afternoon Show has its moments.
I like the Doors and wonder why people mock me for it.

This is my Social Media question of the day:
Why there's no Twitter way to tweet the world while listening to this show ? I bet some people would tweet to let their followers know they are listening to this show or watching this GIF in this show. Disclaimer: I'm not a Twitter user but as far as I know Tweeting while consuming media is one of those things young people nowadays.
1) Feed a small number of totalitarian megacorps ? Ugh.
2) Or a non-totalitarian and an eventual endless stream of icons. Ugh.
3) Copy and paste wherever any listener chooses. Have at it. Yeah.
I feel like for a bit, this show has been a response to my saying last week that though there was some hippie music on WFMU, there wasn't much hippie dippie music.
Well, I agree. But if I were a social media enthusiast (like 99.9999001% of the population) I'd be happy to tweet soundclips or the gifs being 'played' here or with a click of a button, or I'd be happy to know that WFMU sells our personal details to big conglomerates so they can advertise their relevant ads up our asses.
Oh look, the end from 1950's "The Basic Physics of an Atomic Bomb"!

xezzy:
I like to think that Ken lies to sleep right after the show somewhere on the floor, and then he is awaken right before his next show. And `manager' is just an ironic nick name.
