Listener comments!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:01am From: JJZ

Happy September!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:02am From: Dickdong

Nice one, Ken. More, please, more!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:02am From: Scott

Yarrrrrr, today be International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:03am From: JJZ

I could be pretty happy with a show of just covers of Midnight Cowboy.

Wed. 9/19/07 9:05am From: listener jeremy

ooooooh snazzy new listener comments page. or is it just new to me?

Wed. 9/19/07 9:06am From: Ken

A lot more September Songs on the way... anybody have the Rod McKuen version?

Wed. 9/19/07 9:15am From: krex

I like this 'playist with comments' format much better than the old one.

Wed. 9/19/07 9:21am From: Brandon

isn't September over yet :(

Wed. 9/19/07 9:21am From: dei xhrist

SNEEZE you fool, SNEEZE!
Anecdote; at my very 1st band practice this weekend, I ended an improv ensemble piece with a very well timed sneeze. Nothing says "it's over!" like an explosive burst of moisture on a theremin.

Wed. 9/19/07 9:22am From: Ken

Yes, thanks to Buz for the inspiration on the new comments layout, and to Kenzo for the execution. We still await Buz's next incarnation of this basic idea.. which is to allow the song currently playing and the most recent comment to appear at the same time on the screen.

Wed. 9/19/07 9:23am From: dei xhrist

sneezy pirate: SNARRR!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:25am From: negator

leave brittany alone!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:26am From: NEGATOR

i MEAN IT!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:30am From: john

kudos to your web guy - the new listener-comments-and-playlist design looks good and works well

Wed. 9/19/07 9:32am From: ?

is the accuplaylist available to other independent/college stations? i thought you guys bought it and when i googled it could only find it in conjunction FMU

Wed. 9/19/07 9:33am From: NEGATOR

AFTER ALL SHE'S BEEN THROUGH!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:33am From: Brandon

daaaaar, swab the poop deck...daaaarrrr

Wed. 9/19/07 9:33am From: Ken

Talk to Kenzo about licensing the accuplaylist - kenzo at wfmu dot org

Wed. 9/19/07 9:38am From: Ken

I'm still looking for versions of September Song by Rod McKuen, Arnett Cobb, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Fats Domino, Dean Martin, David Murray, Les Paul and Mary Ford, 101 Strings, Charlie Parker, Johnny Ray and Buddy Morrow. E-mail me if you can hep! ken at wfmu dot org

Wed. 9/19/07 9:42am From: listener jeremy

if only brittney would put out a version of september song. maybe that would make everything alright

Wed. 9/19/07 9:45am From: Ann Arbor Doug

When the frame refreshes as I'm reading comments it inflames my cranial war wound and I go bezerk. My coworkers do not appreciate this.

Wed. 9/19/07 9:47am From: north guinea hills

i might have the 101 strings version of september song, but i'm at work right now, and when i get home i'll have to plow through tons and tons of vinyl. haven't seen that record in years....

Wed. 9/19/07 9:47am From: Adrian

Ian McCullogh from Echo and the Bunnymen did a version of September Song too.

Wed. 9/19/07 9:51am From: Scouserella

Too right he did Adrian, as did Lou Reed
Love this show why it makes me happier than the white adder s at a sale at spikes r us

Wed. 9/19/07 9:51am From: The Framinator.......

....... is liking the new frame format. have you considered putting the new posts at the top of the frame rather than at the bottom so the reader does not have to scroll down to the very bottom to see if anyone has posted something new?

Wed. 9/19/07 9:54am From: Adrian

Ooh, that was spooky!

Wed. 9/19/07 9:54am From: Ken

Framinator - The comments are supposed to go to the bottom so that the most current comment always appears just aboce the input box. It sounds like that aint happening for you, though. What browser ate you using (and which version)?

Wed. 9/19/07 10:01am From: The Framinator

Internet Explorer Version 6.0. Man, I am so totally 2004. I need to upgrade my life, or at least my computer.

Wed. 9/19/07 10:01am From: Ann Arbor Doug

I really think it would be best if the input frame were on the top and the comments were listed in reverse chronological order. It would prevent us having to scroll down in order to view the most recent comments.

Wed. 9/19/07 10:02am From: NEGATOR

VOMIT! VOMIT! VOMIT! VOMIT!

Wed. 9/19/07 10:03am From: listener jeremy

I'm having the same issue using IE 7. Every 30 second refresh, the listener comments refreshes to the top of the list

Wed. 9/19/07 10:03am From: The Framinator

When I post, my new post inotially appears right above the input box. When the screen refreshes, The beginning of the listener comments appears right above the input box.

Wed. 9/19/07 10:06am From: ?

i've used many different browsers and always have the same expereince as these other noise lovers with no life

Wed. 9/19/07 10:06am From: The Framinator

A little off topic, i will concede, but I think you need to increase the difficulty of the math problems that are the gateway to posting. Perhaps you should introduce some multiplication and division problems. Using the math problem as a meaningful screening tool may increase the quality of the posts.

Wed. 9/19/07 10:09am From: listener jeremy

yarrrrr don't ye do nothing with the arithmatic. the monkey on my shoulder has a hard enough time guessing the answer as tis

Wed. 9/19/07 10:10am From: scouserella

Ken perhaps you should require them to come up with the recipe for the Philosophers stone. Or how to get the philosophers stoned. Hope you feel better
Love from Liverpool

Wed. 9/19/07 10:11am From: Ken

Our Math Pledge to you: No WFMU Listener Will Ever Be Forced To Carry The One Against Their Will. Sounds like the frames aint working right in all browsers. It's fine in Firefox 2.0. Kenzo will weight in on this..

Wed. 9/19/07 10:12am From: Ann Arbor Doug

Fun fact: "Wir Lesen Zeitung" means "We read newspapers" I think.

This layout is much better than the old one, indeed.

I feel like a total dorf complaining about the comments layout, for the record, but if nobody makes suggestions the thing won't improve. :-/

Wed. 9/19/07 10:12am From: Wes

Control Machete has got some sick beats. (my page refreshes the wrong way, too -- IE)

Wed. 9/19/07 10:12am From: Trish

test test - 920 ! <kssscchhctt> 686 !
This page opens up in IE6 with the frame automatically dropped to the most recent comment, but unlike firefox and like the playlist over there in the other frame, it refreshed to the top of the comment page.

So, the same as the playlist has always been?

Wed. 9/19/07 10:14am From: Kevin

Hey Ken, your Spanish set reminds me - I keep meaning to tell you about Dick el Demasiado - have you heard his stuff? I think you'ld dig it. Free samples here: http://www.canalcumex.com/php/demasiado/downloads/mp3/mp3_cd01_index.html

Wed. 9/19/07 10:14am From: Wes

Aww, Ken....the absolute best track on this Verve CD is the RJD2 mix!!

Wed. 9/19/07 10:25am From: brian

Great listener-comment layout -- Thanks!.
And thanks for playing that Herbalizer feat Larynx cut

Wed. 9/19/07 10:31am From: Brandon

wow, the most hellacious September Song yet!!!

Wed. 9/19/07 10:34am From: listener jeremy

Jimmy Durante, it's SeptembER not septembah!

Wed. 9/19/07 10:38am From: Irwin Chusid

"September Song" is nice, but 17 out of 4,332 listeners still prefer "Everlasting Love"

http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/24467

Wed. 9/19/07 10:38am From: marty

play september song by Pascal Comelade & Robert Wyatt

Wed. 9/19/07 10:42am From: sara

I think he played it the first week, mr. m... and hello

Wed. 9/19/07 10:43am From: dave from baltimore

the Harmonicats version is great!

Wed. 9/19/07 10:44am From: GB

Like a Tim!!! Like a Tim!!!

Wed. 9/19/07 10:46am From: Doug Again

I vote 5/5 for "Lonely Sea"

Wed. 9/19/07 10:47am From: brandon

Dif Juz...what a lovely surprise.

Wed. 9/19/07 10:49am From: Jeff

Oh, my. After that Four Freshmen version, the next step is to find out if Bert Kaempfert ever recorded September Song...

Wed. 9/19/07 10:53am From: HotRod

The new Modeselektor album is delicious. Great way to start my morning. Who new I'd have enough energy to dance? Apparently you did! :)

Wed. 9/19/07 10:55am From: Wes

Dif Juz! From the early 80s, too...wow. Going to have to pick up an LP or two of theirs.

Wed. 9/19/07 10:55am From: north guinea hills

yaye! the new His Name is Alive!

Wed. 9/19/07 10:55am From: ?

i really enjoyed that everlasting love set as well but i don't mind all the september songs-the melody is pretty timeless

Wed. 9/19/07 10:57am From: Listener Dave

Loud, cheesy Casio-type version here: http://www.btinternet.com/~edward.caution/septembersong.htm

Wed. 9/19/07 11:06am From: Vivian

Oh, so that's the guy who puts the B in blogging. Good morning Ken, wishing you a speedy recovery!

Wed. 9/19/07 11:22am From: HotRod

Gimme more! I want more more more!!!

Wed. 9/19/07 11:28am From: Listener Dave from NH

Was the guy using "blog" every 5th word part of that Die Weltraumeforscher track? Could you blog about it and let me know? That'd totally get the blogosphere on fire.

Wed. 9/19/07 11:33am From: Ken

No, the blogging guy was from some youtube video. Brian Turner dug it up.

Wed. 9/19/07 11:42am From: seanh

that blogging guy was some fanatical britney spears fan sharing his mental breakdown and unsettling obsession britney spears with the world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc (i'd suggest covering your eyes and ears before you watch this video)

Wed. 9/19/07 11:49am From: Ken

Sean - those are two different youtube videos. The blogging guy is not Chris Crocker, the auteur of the "Leave Britney Alone" screed.

Wed. 9/19/07 11:57am From: Brandon

Cookie Monster!!!

Wed. 9/19/07 11:58am From: Ken

Thanks to everybody for the comments, and thanks to these folks for helping with the versions of September Song: Spazz, Charlie, Vicki, jelbogen, Jake, Lewis, BT, Joe B and Clinton. More next week, he threatened.

Wed. 9/19/07 12:38pm From: Sadie

Listener Dave, that website is a virtual treasure trove -- I may never have to buy music again. And that ghost dove... there just aren't words. Thank you!!

Wed. 9/19/07 4:19pm From: fatty jubbo

speaking of YouTube...Ken, have you plunged the depths of possibility on YouTube?
http://youtube.com/results?search_query=%22september+song%22&search=Search

Wed. 9/19/07 9:44pm From: Kenzo

On comments about comments:
1) For what it's worth, the new 3-frame layout wasn't inspired by or based on Buz's suggested redesign.
2) Buz's suggested redesign is really cool.
3) Framinator: You use IE 6 and you feel you should upgrade? Indeed, you should upgrade to Firefox or Opera.
4) I will soon be attempting to resolve the problem that occurs in IE wherein the comments frame doesn't jump to the bottom when the page refreshes itself.
5) When I had the "no carrying" math idea, I thought it would make things easy for people. Perhaps y'all might appreciate it if I changed it so you always just have to add zero. But maybe the occasional calculus problem might be good.
6) Does anyone read comments this far down? Give the code phrase "king of the dues!!" if you do.

Fri. 9/21/07 10:27am From: Marie

King of the dues!!
(but I did not read all the way through!)!

Wed. 9/26/07 3:09am From: HotRod

king of the dues!!
