Morning Pre-Dawn Party People!

7:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...when that aspirin is in my blood
- & I have a cup of tea
...that'll have to be good enuff for me
- & I really don't care
anymore...

7:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I would like to request a re-processed form of decadence...

7:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Is this meta-communicating or no communicating?

7:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Is this Love or Confusion?

🚽

7:50am Ken From Hyde Park:

Now where's the Lulu at?

7:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- To Slur w/ Love. (Lulu & me both have B-Days Sunday.)

8:05am jan:

.when that aspirin is in my blood
- & I have a cup of tea
Try googling " ...that'll have to be good enuff for me
- & I really do't care
anymore..."

🚽

8:07am Ken:

Oh, I've got Lulu pulled, domcha worry 'bout that none! Aint nobody else gonna play it!

8:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...it's not a BDay I'm happy about - but I'm still younger than Lulu...or, as I think they said in one scene in 'To Sir w/ Love' : Happy Bidet!...

🚽

8:23am Ken:

Requests? Suggestions? Lord knows I need 'em!

8:28am Okasa:

Good morning Ken. And, a swinging good morning to all the Ken-cats and Ken-kitties.

8:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Nov. 3 is Godzilla's B-Day too (no foolin'!) - so I think an all Godzilla Vs. Lulu format is in order
...&/or, keepin' on dem seasonal ♏Scorpionic themes - summa that All Hallow's Samhain Dia de Los Muertos thang - I betcha you could break wid sum bad stuff o' that Meester Freetman...

9:01am Dan B From Upstate:

I'm 100% okay with Lulu, just anything other than Iced Honey would be preferable. :-)

9:01am Jeezy:

I suggest all-Lou show Ken!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obvious but ESSENTIAL.

9:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

LouLouTron

9:02am jaw:

who controls how quickly these pages refresh? can they be slowed down? I am at work and can't keep up with the quick wit of the fmu user - you users

9:02am Roberto:

9:03am common:

LULU

9:03am Michael:

Much better.

9:03am common:

cukoo

9:04am Obernkarbi:

Shooby tailors female version, great surprise :)

9:04am dwayneweed:

LULU YOLO LULU

9:05am Jeezy:

My Granma Ruth passed away on the same day as Lou.. She was 96, it was time... Tough final years. I'm preparing to go to her funeral in Queens at 11. Tis' a grim day, indeed!

9:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

96 is amazing Jeezy. Condolences.

9:07am common:

sorry jeezy.

9:07am Jeezy:

Thanks RR... She had a damn good run...

9:08am crateslinger:

I used to deliver furniture to Lou Reed's apartment in the early 90's. He was aloof but polite. Had a rooftop rehearsal studio containing one guitar, a mesa boogie and a chair. Pictures of him and Laurie on the walls.

9:09am Dan B From Upstate:

Sorry for your loss, Jeezy. My GM is going to be 92 in November. I fear that inevitable day.

🚽

9:10am Ken:

Sorry to hear of your Granma's passing, Jeezy. But 96 - wow! I hope I live to 96 and get to use a dream recorder.

9:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- ya gotta say - Lou's original liver - 70 years - impressive !

9:11am common:

that's cool, crateslinger

9:12am sara:

my condolences jeezy

🚽

9:12am Ken:

Thanks to David S of the Cult of the Magic Pants for pushing the show total to 83%!!

9:12am trs:

I find it offensive, crateslinger.

9:13am Cecile:

I would like to hear Ken doing Jr Dad

Jeezy, sorry for your loss

9:13am northguineahills:

Rough one, Jeezy. Chin up!

9:14am common:

I wonder if this lou and metallica record will be considered a classic one day...

🚽

9:14am Rich in Washington:

Ugh!
When I first heard about Lou's liver ailment earlier this year, I thought, 'please don't let Lulu be his last album'.

9:14am amanda c:

can i request no more lou reed covers- just actual lou reed songs?

9:15am Jeezy:

Thanks all! Appreciate the support...

9:15am Krefting:

This record already is a classic...

9:16am Cecile:

Ken has made me love this song.

9:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Metal is very Metrical - not moshing like Punk as much - staking out position territorially & banging head in one place...it doesn't Swing, it Rocks. This sounds fine to me - good even...

9:19am KOTJ:

Cecile. Agree.

9:20am EzSezz:

Get the coffee, turn the lights on.

9:21am KOTJ:

It's interesting how songs take on a posthumous new life.

9:21am sara:

rich, would you have wanted him to do an album with megadeath?

9:21am KOTJ:

It's interesting how songs take on a posthumous new life.

9:21am dale:

ken with halloween and lous death coinciding it's a perfect reason to hear him reading the raven. otherwise, there is no reason to ever play it, it's that bad in my opinion

9:21am Skirkie:

This banner ad is your fault, Ken.

wfmu.org...

9:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...it's interesting how people passing makes us wake the fuck up.

9:22am Cecile:

Metallica are damn good players, despite often being bozos.

9:23am Dan B From Upstate:

KOTJ is right. I mean, I liked this song before, but... I've kinda stopped what I'm doing to focus on it right now.

9:24am KOTJ:

Ditto Dan B

🚽

9:24am Ken:

Im glad this song is getting good comments. This record was so utterly ridiculed but I find this song incredibly moving.

9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Lou really believed in Rock even tho' he was smarter than it.

9:25am Pine:

Metallica will probably live forever, had a friend cooked for them and it was all healthy stuff, all steamed no oil.

9:25am KevinfromBayRidge:

Sorry Jeezy, hope most of those 96 were good ones. Saw Gary Numan last night. Good show but wish he had ended with a Lou cover,being how Mr. Reed was so seminal to that genre.

9:25am Cecile:

It was moving before, and now it's even more intense.

🚽

9:25am Ken:

Dale, what record is that on? Is it a straight Lou record?

9:26am Skirkie:

Spinach can kill you.

9:26am Mark S:

If we only listened to music made by non bozos, we wouldn't be listening to much music at all

🚽

9:27am Ken:

Never mind Dale, got it!

9:27am common:

i'm actually diggin this song.

9:28am Roberto:

After you play Lulu, it might be fitting to play Lulu as well.

9:28am sara:

this track is much better than i had been (mis)lead to expect from that album

9:29am Cecile:

Pine, good for them. They have a ridiculous amount of goodwill in my book thx to Master of Puppets.

9:30am Cecile:

Mark S, don't I know it!

9:30am trs:

Glad for headphones.

9:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- didn't Metallica & Voivod switch bass-players ??

9:32am dale:

this string feedback is giving me a movement

9:32am Mike East:

nice work, metallica

🚽

9:33am Ken:

He's reading this too fast!! hahahah

9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Beethoven had phenomenal movements - it's well-known he was consternated...

9:33am Emile:

Saw Lou last year in concert and I'm sad to say it was terrible.

9:33am jan:

Junior Dad- new to these ears, but sounds great. Have you played it on your show before? I wasn't very informed about Lou's music, obviously familiar with the Velvet Underground, but in the mid 70s my idea of a clever prank was to put enough coins in the local bar's jukebox to play
"Walk on the Wild Side" playing 4 times in a row and promptly walk out.
Ken, will you play more Lou for those who don't know?
.

9:34am crateslinger:

@ trs... Too soon? Wanna hear about John Lennon's studio? His white piano is still set up in a small room next to the service elevator in his widow's apartment.

9:34am Irene:

Wow, I didn't think there was anything good on the Lulu album! Lou & Metallica actually work well together on this one.

🚽

9:34am Ken From Hyde Park:

Not as comical as The Simpsons version, but I'll take it.

9:34am northguineahills:

Well put on Metallica, Cecile.

9:34am Mark S:

This is Willem Dafoe with the recitation

9:34am Cecile:

No. Jason quit Metallica and joined Voivod because Blacky wasn't interested in a reunion.

9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...too fast - but very 'Modern' & not mannererd...

9:35am Cecile:

Blacky later rejoined. Jason did, 2 or 3 records with them.

9:36am SeanG:

Right, it is Willem!

9:36am Listener David in Budd Lake:

Sounds like Willem Defoe

9:37am Mark S:

dickless liar?

9:38am tim from champaign:

cocaine and dicks? Was that really in The Raven?

9:38am dale:

i heard a version that lou reads that is over histrionic

9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...DeFoe was never a man nerd...

9:39am egal:

FCC problems.

9:40am Mark S:

Did you know that Lou was survived by his Mom?

9:42am f⊹f⊹ (:

Hi, buenos dias Keno and friendos and friendas!

9:43am trs:

@crateslinger 'Too soon' ?? No. Too creepy. Your lack of common sense of what's personal and private is offensive.

9:43am Dan B From Upstate:

Has Nachum never heard the Talking Heads Speaking in Tongues record?

9:43am Sam:

I guess speaking in tongues is a New Testament thing.

9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Rain Parade w/ Susannah Hoffs doing 'I'll Be Your Mirror' is very nice.

9:45am Cecile:

Sam, exactamundo

9:47am trs:

It's an American thing, isn't it?
Privatizing what's public.
Publicizing what's private.

So fucked up.

9:49am crateslinger:

Well, anyway. I was in his house and he was nice to me. It was cool to see the austerity of his life style. Black t-shirt, jeans, wide open spaces and some photos of his wife. Props Lou! Thanks for the tip!

🚽

9:50am Ken:

Jan, I wasn't planning on playing a ton more Lou, I guess because the station's been playing SO MUCH the last four days. But I'll play a few more probably.

9:50am Cecile:

trs, I didn't see it that way.
If I went to someone's house, famous or not, I'd talk about what I liked there.

9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- my 2cents: I don't see what crosses a boundary about saying he was aloof but polite & was austerely furnished w/ a guitar & amp - 20 years ago...seems respectful & interesting to me...but I am a Yank - might even be a particularly NYC thang (I'm not one)...

9:51am Mark S:

Sister Ray!

9:51am Sam:

How about 3 hours of The Raven?

9:52am Cecile:

Unless they asked me not to. Also, about as intimate as I would get would be pictures on the walls or what was playing on the stereo.

9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...like John & Yoko in NYC stories - the street-level realness was something Lennon appreciated, & something Reed symbolized...

🚽

9:53am Ken:

Everybody's been playing the Sister Ray - Heroin - Metal Machine stuff - I'd prefer to highlight his pretty quiet ballads, if anything.

9:53am Cecile:

Could you play some Beefheart?
I miss him every damn day.

9:54am Peanut Gallery:

I love this Little Axe record!

9:54am trs:

@celcile Yes, but talking with friends and publicizing are two very different things.
Would you stand on a street corner on a soapbox? Would you call a tabloid and sell and trade it for money. or other benefits? Would you enter it into a searchable record at the government office?

9:55am Mark S:

Ask Rupert Murdoch

9:55am Cecile:

trs, crateslinger is doing none of that in my eyes.

9:55am SeanG:

Songs for Drella has great stuff on it

9:56am Okasa:

Go Frank Go.

9:56am trs:

crateslinger was there in a business transaction, even. Wasn't an invited guest.

9:57am Cecile:

Other situations are just as reprehensible.
Also? Some overseas tabloids make our Enquirer look like children's books.

9:57am crateslinger:

I once went to Joey Ramone's birthday party. He was also aloof but polite. Dee Dee on the other hand...

9:58am jaw:

Can someone just loop the guitar track from waves of fear for a day.

9:58am trs:

@Cecile. See it as you will. @common said it was cool. I find it deeply offensive.

9:58am dale:

of course 'halloween parade' is appropriate

9:58am f⊹f⊹ [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ioo)̲̅$̲̅] (:

What about Femme Fatale by PLU and Ergo ?

9:58am Cecile:

That's fine.

9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...what Murdoch has done is completely lost on U.S. Fox fans...

10:00am Cecile:

The smart ones know. The Simpsons are always making fun of him.

🚽

10:00am Ken:

Ooh great idea f0f0!

10:00am trs:

Hey @crateslinger Who are in the pictures on your walls? Details!

10:02am bobdoesthings:

Bettie Serveert did an album of VU covers..

10:02am f⊹f⊹ Pledge Time! [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ioo)̲̅$̲̅] (:

oh, thanks Ken!

🚽

10:02am Ken:

trs, please give it a rest. I agree with the others that you are perhaps being overly sensitive.

10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...someone you have come around on business is 'invited'. It's one thing if you're indiscreet about something personal or compromising to no good end - but I don't see that here
...& the Simpsons on Fox !

10:03am midtown:

Enjoying this show from my cubicle. Thanks a bunch.

10:03am Cecile:

Original Sins did Sugar Sugar in a VU style. It's awesome.

10:03am crateslinger:

THAT'S PERSONAL!

10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- yeah - more crude jokes please...

10:04am dale:

is this vicki and ergo singing? quite good actually.

10:04am sara:

Cecile, like on Harry shearer's radio show/podcast he does it all the time

10:04am Sam:

I see your point trs.

🚽

10:04am Ken:

And crateslinger, please just drop it graciously. thanks.

10:04am Cecile:

Vicki and Ergo, you are so brilliant.

10:05am Mark S:

I second "Sugar Sugar" By the Original sins

10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- love Harry Shearer !

10:05am Doug C.:

Wait, Lou Reed was married to Laurie Anderson and he played guitar? Holy Crap! There is no limit to the private information some people will reveal. I heard he had a toilet in his house too. I wonder what he used it for?

🚽

10:06am Ken:

I just played Sugar Sugar by the Original Sins last week, didnt I?

10:06am KOTJ:

Ken played Sugar Sugar last week. And in tribute I played it on my show last Friday...said how everything I play practically is influenced by VU.

10:06am trs:

'Overly sensitive'

Oh.

10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...did he in fact have Two Sheds - ??

10:07am Cecile:

I missed it!

10:08am tim from champaign:

That Bill Murray gif is the best. I want some Newport Lights swim trunks.

10:08am dale:

can we move on to other topix - like did robt wagner murder natalie wood?

10:08am doca:

hello ken and fellow wfmuners

10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...now this, Lou Reed fans, is decadence...

10:08am Cecile:

Please listen to Ken, everyone.

10:09am Mark S:

Maybe that's where I heard it

10:09am doca:

Ken, I saw this list of russian WTF gifs and it reminded me of your show. Some of them are quite violent, but others are just amazingly absurd, just like KHLAM elitedaily.com...

10:09am Mark S:

Cos i know I heard it recently

10:09am Cecile:

Dale, I think it was someone besides Walken or Wagner.

10:12am Cecile:

But I haven't looked at the case details in a really long time.

10:12am still b/p:

Murray's Broken Flowers is on tonight. Forever grateful that the film introduced me to Mulatu Astatke, and FMU gave me more.

10:12am Mark S:

Hey you did play "Sugar Sugar" by the Original Sins last week.
I knew I heard it!

10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Thx doca! - but that makes *two* windows open @ once w/ too many gifs...

10:14am Cecile:

So? He played Jr Dad and Dr Bootygrabber and Baby Animal back to back before...

10:15am doca:

@RRN63: yes, sometimes I can't stay on comment board because my computer can't handle too much information

10:15am dale:

jill st. john wasn't on board, was she?

10:16am Pine:

I am sassified

10:16am Cecile:

NO.

10:16am amanda c:

haven't heard this song in so long!!!! yay, thanks ken!

10:18am Cecile:

Amanda, also a favorite.

10:21am glenn:

re: lou. www.casualoptimist.com...

10:21am amanda c:

ooh and thanks for a non-terrible cover of a great song.

10:22am Sven:

writing from stockholm, sweden...great to hear Bob Hund here! Great show!

10:22am dale:

man, those glue sniffing children are whacked out!

10:22am bobdoesthings:

KHLAM RETURNS!!!

10:23am SteveD:

Wow, listen to "Cassetto" bu NEU! and you can hear that Velvets tune had seeped way in to even them, no?

10:23am egal:

Finally.

🚽

10:23am Ken From Hyde Park:

Hello, Sweden!

🚽

10:23am Webhamster Henry:

Khlam: the Russian Lou

10:24am KevinfromBayRidge:

So...What's in Khlam's apartment?

10:24am Sem Chumbo:

Just in time to avoid a Khlamity.

10:24am sara:

¡Cemento delicioso!

10:25am Okasa:

Go Joyce Go.

10:25am bobdoesthings:

Kev.. did you mean.. Khlamidia?

10:26am Rev. Turnip Druid:

PUT DOWN THE CEMENTO!

10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

glenn: Good concise writing there by Luc Sante on LouReed's ♓Piscean High Contradiction...

10:26am Rev. Turnip Druid:

and hello.

10:29am crateslinger:

I met Luc Sante once.

10:29am tim from champaign:

Ken, have you heard Ghost's cover of Caledonia? It pretty faithful and rocking.

10:29am KOTJ:

KevBay....I bet they have Khlam-ato in the fridge.

10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

..gluesniffing & khlamydia...the mad life of Arthur TwoSheds Jackson...was one shed for glue & the other for khlam ?? Red pill or blue? Lennon glasses or Reed glasses? Happy Halloween...

10:31am still b/p:

Cemento o vendas -- que es más peligroso?

10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid:

i call beloved cemento... beloved airplane glue...

10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Pop Riot !

10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...sure sounds like an inhalant trip...

10:34am KevinfromBayRidge:

No insider knowledge , thank goodness! But we can speculate.

10:34am Mike Noble:

@Ken: have you ever considered having live jews harp players or throatsingers on your show?

10:35am Sam:

Yay, the Japanese complaints choir!!

10:35am f⊹f⊹ Pledge Time! [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ioo)̲̅$̲̅] (:

I should know this, buy what do you mean by vendas, still b/p?

🚽

10:36am Ken:

Hey glue sniffers! The show is only 15% away from hitting it's goal! Thanks to all who have pledged and if uyou havent, NOW is the time!

10:36am Sam:

I sing this to my cats all the time!

10:36am G:

Shouldn't that be "An 8"? :p

10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...did Arthur in fact pay for that dinner??

10:37am still b/p:

Headbands.

10:38am sara:

"remember when vandalism meant a case of seltzer? we still remember"

10:39am slater:

anyone know what their complaint is?

10:39am common:

hey sam. i talk and sing with my cat all the time.

10:40am f⊹f⊹ Pledge Time! [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ioo)̲̅$̲̅] (:

Sniffing headbands is way more dangerous then.

🚽

10:40am Ken:

The last one was" "the salaryman sitting next to me on the subway vomited on my lap and everybody blamed ME!"

10:40am Sam:

Me too. That complaint choir tune is particularly nice and melodic. I change the lyrics to stuff the cats understand.

10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...complaint - they were Japanese singing to French cabaret music? Daikaiju Eiga Mon Amor...

10:41am Parq:

Enjoying the Spanish-language vice illustrations. We have those on a lunchbox, purchased somewhere in San Diego.

10:41am bobdoesthings:

this is awesome!

10:41am Okasa:

"This music... I can't eat."

10:42am Brendan from Rockville:

Ken go ahead make my week . Play Hatune Miko's cover of Siberian Khatru.

10:44am slater:

remember typewriters

🚽

10:45am Ken From Hyde Park:

This being Halloween Eve, I need to get some treats to hand out. Any suggestions on something nutritious and not just some corn syrup mixture? No one wants to get an apple anymore.

10:45am Sean D. Daily:

"Pandillaje" is Spanish for "whipping someone with beef jerky".

10:45am KP:

I think Leslle West used to be in Vandalismo.

10:46am MD:

To Quote...Ed Norton....."LOU...LOU!!"

10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...whadaya mean what kinda Gangsta has Beatlecuts & sandals - ?!! Why you - !!...

10:46am sara:

all bike chains and sandals rough scene man

10:47am dale:

question - when did 'jaw' harp become 'jews' harp? i'm not of the faith, so i have no stake in the answer

10:47am Mark S:

no one wants something nutritious for Halloween

10:47am tim from champaign:

What would happen if Rhys Chatham did a 500 typewrite orchestra piece?

🚽

10:48am Ken:

Dale, I think it was when all the Jews Harp Players crucified our Lord.

10:48am KP:

Ken is crossing midfield and closing in on that goal.

10:48am still b/p:

You can tell they're typing, "All work and no play makes Jack a banker and Jane a clerk."

10:49am Brendan from Rockville:

I'm working in a coal mine goin down down and this sounds exactly like my workspace

10:49am common:

I love this typewriter stuff.

10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

10:50am tim from champaign:

Oh yeah I almost forgot...Happy Devil's Night everyone! May your gasoline pour freely, may your strike anywhere matches light and may your arsons be merry and bright!

10:51am zeer:

10:51am G:

10:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Okay, this is the one that Jerry Lewis pantomimed to onstage, right?

10:52am sara:

I think I have a typewriter addiction now

🚽

10:53am Ken From Hyde Park:

Get about 40 people with their cell phones in a studio and conduct a ringtone minuet. That's the modern way!

10:53am dale:

local news program when i was a kid used this for viewer letters segment

10:54am KP:

Well Ken at first i thought it was your selections but i am getting only skips and pops on all FMU bands.

Senores y Senoras Nosotros tenemos mas influencia sobre sus hijos que tienes..pero los queremos.

10:55am sara:

nail, nail, nailn' on heaven's door

10:56am still b/p:

I heard a Jews Harp expert(?) insist it is the real name for the instrument and that any offense taken or forced alternative is misplaced, yet there's no explanation or particular association he knows of for the name.
He also thought it was no longer marketed as the Snoopy Harp, but I got one o' them just last spring.

10:57am Brendan from Rockville:

Glue making ... Neighhhhhhh

10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...you also hold it between your jaws...

11:00am KP:

Rebooted Mac. Back on!

11:00am sara:

"..why are you making this vomit so difficult for us all?!"

11:00am Brendan from Rockville:

I'd like to lodge a formal complaint in regard to the recent proliferation of complaint choirs

11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@ still b/p: It's like with "nigger chaser", a corruption of a Hindi word, something like "neggachasse", in that its origin is not supposed to have any offense to it and has nothing to do with chasing black people or any kind of people.

11:27am Mark S:

anyone else having a lot of trouble with the playlist page and pop-up player?

11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- was reading about the History of Guitar-making - related that some great olde violin was analyzed as having cat-pee in the varnish - so a trend to include that erupted like it was secret alchemy - later they calmed down & reasoned a cat probably just peed in the guy's varnish...

🚽

11:29am Ken:

Yeah, Mark, I'm having lots of trouble here at the station!

11:31am Roberto:

Listening on the iPhone app and following the playlist on the laptop. But my connection is always kind of shitey at home.

11:55am crateslinger:

I usually don't get to see all the gifs until after the show is over and everybody's gone. The page reloads too often and too slowly while I"m scrolling and my time is just too dang valuable to wait for the perfect moment. I just take a lonely wander about the place as Duane gets going. I know, creepy.
