Peter Ivers "Slap the Ginkels" Spiel - New Wave Theatre 1982
Night Flight's main pitchman of punk, Peter Ivers was the host of "New Wave Theater" which aired from 1981 - 1983. Here's a classic example of Peter's improvisational genius with his rant to wake up Morty Ginkel. UPDATE: Since there are those who have a bit of trouble working out exactly what Ivers is saying, here's a transcript: It's of barnyard importance that Ginkels recognize that they've gotta learn to behave or we'll never get to Humanity Central... And the radium void'll be with us for a long time to come. Our techno-bent Aurthur Godfrey state leaves no room for transfusions and, once again, it's up to the seers to slap the Ginkels through awareness. We know it looks hopeless, but it's us together, and you alone, who'll effect the changes we need. The Controllers don't have the reason or awareness to change... And Art's alarm clock role has been buried in museum-land. So new music makes noise and it IS! But remember, it's what YOU'RE doing, it's what it's all saying to YOU. The message is, "Morty Ginkel, wake up or it's glow in the dark time... yesterday. New music is get-up-and-die, and death is tomorrow's beginning. FIND IMMORTALITY IN YOUR CREATIONS.Category: People

I remember this ...
I remember this show, I stayed up late back in the summer of 1982 to watch it. Nothing else like it at the time. Was this the guy that always asked the musicians "what is the meaning of life?"

T he spiel was written by David Jove........not Peter. Read up on Jove, who was sinister, creepy, psychotic.......He directed the show and they filmed it at Jove's house on fairfax in LA while Jove was hiding from the Feds.

Yeah I'm just about to finish that book it says that there is going to be a documentery to come out with the paperback (which I have) but I cant find anything about it on the web. I think it would be great to see, Peter Ivers seemed to have live a real intresting life and made his make with some important people in the early 80s

No doubt Disinfo. You'd think the sunglasses would tip off most people that cue cards are in use.

Seeing this video a few months back turned me onto Peter Ivers. I bought and read the recent book on him "In Heaven Everything Is Fine" By Josh Frank with Charlie Buckholtz.

Thank you, Yes this message is just as relevant today as it was then, sometimes I wonder if Peter wasn't killed because he could see what others could not. Sad...

Please check the ...
Please check the information column to the right of the video player. I have posted a transcript of what Peter Ivers is saying. Thanks for asking. I was glad to do it. I think that this is still a very important message for our time as well.

Does anyone have ...
Does anyone have the transcript of what he is saying here, some of it I can't quite make out, like it sounds in the beginning he is saying "It's a barnyard in course that Ginkels recognize" or is he saying "import" then in the middle it sounds like he is saying "Our techno Ben Arthur Godfrey said there's no room for transfusions" is that right? always liked hearing him talk, but couldn't always get what he was saying....Thanks
