WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from April 17, 2024

Listener comments!
	12:55pm Lolabelle Pancake: There's a rumor that Courtney the Codger will return to WFMU tonight at 7pm. I wouldn't post this here if the rumor were not true. But if it were true, it wouldn't be a rumor.
	12:55pm Lolabelle Pancake: At least that's what I was told to post here.
	🎸 ♥ 2:38pm 12539: ↳ Lolabelle Pancake @12:55 I wonder if Gus will show up and fisticuffs will ensue.
	2:50pm Listener Robert: www.wfmu.org... Is how Codge's been announcing his tour engagements.
	🎸 ♥ 3:00pm 12539: Irwin!
	3:01pm bradford: Hey there Irwin & all!
	🎸 ♥ 3:01pm Gregosaurus: ↳ 12539 @2:38 One can only hope...
	🎸 ♥ 3:02pm G: Reporting in :-) Working online, may or may not be chatty...
	♥ 3:04pm Hubig Pie: So is this person swapping a copy of Faces of Death or the 3 Stooges? And which Stooges?
	♥ 3:04pm love2laf: This Free Ad is making my OCD heart cringe! I mean they typed where they are told to fill in their phone number. What madness is this?!
	♥ 3:04pm common: hello, irwin. all.
	🎸 ♥ 3:05pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:04 Barrel of laughs, either way...
	🎸 ♥ 3:07pm Acid Cazh: Hello Irwin, hello fellow Chusidorians
	🎸 ♥ 3:07pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Irwin. i met a gen-u-ine flat earther in person for the first time recently. it was… surreal.
	♥ 3:08pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:05 I'm kinda partial to the Shemp era.
	🎸 ♥ 3:09pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Irwin, still tuned in love2laf, everybody!
	🎸 ♥ 3:09pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Vitruvian Man" by "The Bevis Frond" Kudos to anyone who rhymes "Genital glands" with "Vitruvian man" in the first verse of their song and make it sound serious — moody, even. Good work, Bevis Frond. I should listen to you more often.
	🎸 ♥ 3:10pm listener 126464: Can I get one and a half beers and a half of a sandwich instead?
	🎸 ♥ 3:10pm DjLorraine: Good afternoon. Is there also flat moon society? If so, are they a rotation or a rotary club?
	🎸 ♥ 3:11pm The Oscar: 3 Stooges and Faces of Death on VHS? I'll be in the kitchen!
	🎸 ♥ 3:12pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ listener 126464 @3:10 Hi 126464!
	♥ 3:13pm Irwin: Life was so much simpler when there were only three Stooges.
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Beat" by "Aluminum" nice nice nice
	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm The Oscar: ↳ Irwin @3:13 I guess it depends on whether you count Mike Watt.

	🎸 ♥ 3:20pm winston legthigh: howdy handy!
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm Hunterian: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:01 A donnybrook between Gus and Courtney screams pay-per-view event
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm winston legthigh: gus is all bark and no bite.
	3:22pm popsicornia: Killing it today Irwin. A pleasure, as always.
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Hunterian @3:21 Got my PayPal at the ready.
	3:25pm pmcWhenever: grand panned jaz’ separation that left channel is like gone— back
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "The Blessing" by "Ornette Coleman" I had a wildly vivid dream about Ornette Coleman in 2010 or 2011. I was playing banjo, and he was playing trumpet. I still remember it as clearly as if it really happened. I was playing a slow and pretty song, and he snuck up behind me and just started playing all kinds of atonal noise. I tried to adjust what I was playing to accommodate it, but was seated and couldn't turn around to see who it was. Until after we both stopped, I turned around to see him grinning like a maniac. "And you were trying to play along!" he cackled.
	3:28pm MJ: Singer reminds me of Judee Sill
	♥ 3:30pm love2laf: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:09 I see you're still tuned in as well. Bobbling about in the kitchen, trying to create a broccoli Caesar salad. Irwin's playing perfect tunes for kitchening.
	3:32pm QGFFDF: Huh. I thought of an old friend named Margaret and then a second later Irwin said "O Margaret". Love when that happens.
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Book of Bodenheim is available in paperback?
	3:33pm Marie in Chicago: I'm guessing Gus is going to try to sell us something. Hi Irwin, hi All!
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" A great new scam--err, inspiration by Gus. HI Irwin and Chusidians and Bodenheimers!
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm rf: "oh noble daddy, tucked in your swaddling silence" lol
	3:35pm Patrick Mahomes: "one sensible thing said by this wall eyed philospher" - lol
	♥ 3:35pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" I can hardly wait to see the Broadway musical.
	3:35pm Marie in Chicago: "begone ye postage"--love it
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Matt from Springfield: Eternal flaming trash receptacle - Dumpster™ is trademarked.
	3:36pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @3:35 pEstage
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Well, I feel saved already...
	♥ 3:37pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Revelatory.
	3:37pm Ochre Ogre: "Rick Griffen eyeball"!
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm estebangrande: already memorized it
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:36 But who will save us from the savers??..
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm rf: 👏👏👏👏
	3:39pm pmcWhenever: had G. gotten into-ith the A.I.?
	♥ 3:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Amen, selah, etc.
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, yeah! Remind me to keep a pencil close by later when the Old Codger reads off his phone number. Seems I never have one around for jotting it down. ✏️
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Acid Cazh: I feel spiritually cleansed. Ready for ascendance, enlightenment, a strong cocktail, what-have-you.
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm rf: Gus outdid himself
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm winston legthigh: that was alot to unpack.
	♥ 3:40pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gobsmacked, I am. Smacked with gobs of gob. Gob help me.
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm estebangrande: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:38 for some reason i was reading about Jan Hus this week. the savers did not save him
	♥ 3:40pm Dan S: ↳ rf @3:39 The Spirit moved him.
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm rf: And now, jazz
	♥ 3:40pm Hubig Pie: ↳ winston legthigh @3:40 Gus gets paid by the word.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:38 That's eternally, the rub...
	♥ 3:41pm Dan S: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:40 That would explain much.
	3:41pm Ochre Ogre: If there's a church of Gus? I'm in.
	3:42pm Jorday R: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" We need a Gus Bodenheim compilation
	3:42pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:40 Har!
	♥ 3:43pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" One last comment: To err is human, to Bodenheim is divine.
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm winston legthigh: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:41 praise gus.
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ estebangrande @3:40 I recently visited the Bethlehem chapel in Prague, where he was based. They have a good museum about him there, an interesting figure.
	🎸 ♥ 3:45pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Irwin @3:40 Gob be praised!
	♥ 3:46pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Looking for the Sun" by "Mary Timony" Drums: Dave Mattacks.
	🎸 ♥ 3:46pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Great Unknown" by "Mystic Braves" This is good - '60s, or '80s '60s revival? Actually - '10s '80s '60s revival!! "The Mystic Braves are an American psychedelic rock band, formed by Julian Ducatenzeiler and Tony Malacara in 2011 and based in Los Angeles. The band cites the Seeds, the Zombies, the Beatles, Ultimate Spinach, along with garage rock and surf rock as influences."
	♥ 3:47pm xtrakrispy: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:46 It smacked of Belle and Sebastian to me, which can cover a lot of those revivals as well...
	3:47pm wild Neil peace all: Irwin, thank you for providing years and years of great music. God bless you.
	3:49pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Looking for the Sun" by "Mary Timony" Yes, Mary Timony flows over to Irwin's show!
	♥ 3:50pm Irwin: ↳ wild Neil peace all @3:47 May Gus be with you.
	3:51pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Looking for the Sun" by "Mary Timony" Was looking for the sun Monday last week but it got covered by the moon.
	♥ 3:52pm coco: Detectorists...one of the best english shows!
	3:52pm Glistener MW: Detectorists! That show was such a wonderful gift to slow-life enthusiasts like myself
	3:54pm Joe: UNCLE ACID
	3:57pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Melody Lane" by "Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats" !!! The band has been described as "the original Alice Cooper band jamming in a cell with early Black Sabbath and the Stooges".[5] In order to replicate the sound of that era, the band uses vintage instruments and recording equipment.[6] WIKI
	♥ 3:57pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Melody Lane" by "Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats" Can't wait for the new album - Italo horror soundtrack inspired
	♥ 4:05pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:44 Matt: I will be in Prague May 1 - 8. Any tips would be welcome (via email).
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm estebangrande: ↳ Jorday R @3:42 slouching towards Bodenheim, i got the download on Monday. thanks volunteers thanks Irwin Praise be to Gus
	♥ 4:06pm love2laf: YAY VOLUNTEERS, you're amazing <3
	4:06pm Brendan: Some assembly required.
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm estebangrande: not sure how i answered that to you Jorday
	4:06pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:57 Sounds Goblin-ish
	4:07pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ love2laf @4:06 Ditto!
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bumbo" by "Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet" Pre-Starred! Dee-lite-full arrangements.
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @4:05 It's an amazing place! I would be glad to send suggestions! (Do you want to give an email here, or should I just click 'Contact' in your profile?)
	4:13pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Bumbo" by "Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet" Reckon The Lounge Lizards listened to some Moondog, then listened some more.
	4:14pm Mister Dobalina: Really diggin' these smoooOOOOOoooTH sounds.
	♥ 4:16pm Irwin: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:13 Phillip Glass lived with Moondog for a year. That partly explains Glass's music.
	♥ 4:16pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:12 Thank you. I sent my email to your profile.
	♥ 4:18pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:06 Correct consequence.net...
	♥ 4:19pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "8x8 (ft. Rebecca Steinberg)" 8x8 is Lane Steinberg and Alex Kodchenko.
	4:19pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Irwin @4:16 Fascinating.Thanks for that nugget.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "8x8 (ft. Rebecca Steinberg)" Rebecca Steinberg! From the noble Lane Steinberg musical family. Keeping up his legacy of eclectic pop rock with good lyrics.
	4:21pm Philip: yeah dig this
	4:23pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:18 Interesting looking blokes, like Black Sabbath with beards.
	♥ 4:24pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:23 Seen them live twice, highly recommend attending one of their gigs
	🎸 ♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: Oooooh YES!!! Classic Irwin bed music! 😃
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "8x8 (ft. Rebecca Steinberg)" 8x8! Good for them working with Ukrainian musicians 💞
	♥ 4:34pm paddy in matawan: "CD sale"
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm DjLorraine: ↳ winston legthigh @3:19 🙋
	♥ 4:35pm Irwin: ↳ paddy in matawan @4:34 Bargains, Bargains, Bargains!!!
	4:35pm Frank Talk About Humans: CDs are going to make a big comeback. Laugh all you want, it’s a great format.
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm winston legthigh: high interest rates have contributed to the cd boom.
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Boy, What a Night" by "Lee Morgan" And now...Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder. Eternally an "Irwin vibe" to me. Great vivid music to begin with, but so associated with our DJ and his show to me.
	4:36pm Frank Talk About Humans: Trump said that if he’s re-elected, he’s going to bring back the CD long box to spite Michael Stipe
	♥ 4:36pm Irwin: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:35 I agree. Not being ironic. LPs are nice, but they're a luxury, a fetish in some cases.
	4:37pm Frank Talk About Humans: Fully, Irwin. They’re ideal
	♥ 4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Boy, What a Night" by "Lee Morgan" From Lee's album with his HIT!
	♥ 4:37pm coelacanth∅: too bad you had to take a mic break because the garment district into this Lee Morgan would've been a good segue
	4:37pm burpage: Enjoying the tunes
	4:37pm Frank Talk About Humans: Also, try touring Europe with boxes of LPs. CDs are better
	♥ 4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:35 I've already read about the CD revival happening. Waddya expect, LPs now sell for 2-3 times the CD version (with.a download a bit cheaper still).
	4:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Irwin @4:36 Like a fool, I gave away my entire stereo (left it on a streetcorner, Clinton St. and Houston) in the 90's. CDs are affordable, portable and somewhat reliable, althought they DO SCRACTH and skip!\
	♥ 4:40pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:37 I had reservations. I stand by the decision to commit programmus interruptus.
	♥ 4:40pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Irwin @4:36 checks notes vinyl fetish, the man is correct
	♥ 4:40pm Irwin: ↳ doctorjazz @4:38 Hey, I'm the guy who predicted the calypso revival 45 years ago. Still waiting.
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm rf: ↳ Song: "Boy, What a Night" by "Lee Morgan" Whoa this album has a distinctive sound
	♥ 4:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irwin @4:36 I'm an LP fetishist, but I think hard now about whether I really "need" the LP version, or the CD version will do me fine.
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @4:40 It was precisely 4:30 mic break, so that was a good choice to pause in any case.
	4:42pm Frank Talk About Humans: LPs scratch and skip a hell of a lot more, and easier. I’ve collected in all formats for most of my life and I still think the vinyl fetish thing is overblown. These guys really start to look like Buscemi in Ghost World after a while.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm winston legthigh: thanks irwin, gus and all. especially gus. later kids!
	4:44pm Frank Talk About Humans: When you realize all an LP is, is a piece of cardboard and vinyl, and realize that a lot of the stuff is mastered from digital now, it’s clear that it’s just a material fetish. They’re like trophies for those with disposable income.
	4:44pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Its time somebody spoke about the vinyl fetish. Records are so damn expensive. You can get decent bands on CDs used for 6.50 in Oklahoma City. (I got Nada Surf, Elivs, Heavy Psych and Stoner music volume 8 all for under ten bucks each and they fit in my backpack. Try that with records?
	♥ 4:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @4:40 just messin' with you Irwin - and trust your musical judgement... but i think it would've been alright
	♥ 4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irwin @4:40 Any day now...
	4:45pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl is for people who call them “vinyls” now
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm The Oscar: ↳ doctorjazz @4:41 I remember as a teen getting into music in the late '90s asking whether I really "needed" the CD version or if I could settle for an original LP pressing!
	4:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OH and a Mojo magazine Pete Townshend/Roger Daltry playlist for five bucks. Killer deals. Guestroom Records, OKC. Also saw Voivod! MET Voivod, man those guys are so cool! Go see them at Bowery Ballroom in May, 40th anniversary for them!! Get a Tshirt, wish I did!
	4:47pm Frank Talk About Humans: My rule has always been to buy in whatever format is available at that moment. I’ve rarely ever been like “ooh I neeeeed that on vinyl”. Maybe spent a little extra coin for some rare out of print stuff, but vinyl is just a pose now.
	4:47pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:39 Wish I knew, lived 2 blocks away off Ave D.
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:41 lps sound better - absolutely. cds lack depth, generally. but it's probably not inherent to the format, but because of the pervasive lack of aesthetics within the music industry
	4:48pm Frank Talk About Humans: Yeah that’s definitely something people have been saying for years, but isn’t true.
	♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: I've been collecting music for, ahem, more than 50 years now. I still think vinyl sounds better than other formats out there (assuming it was a well recorded and mastered record to begin with). and still lean to geting LPs over digital versions (Bandcamp is the BEST-you get a digital download of any album you buy there, in any format. Of course, they don't have everything...
	4:49pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Irwin @4:40 Only the Mighty Sparrow knows.
	4:49pm Frank Talk About Humans: Also, I prefer a longer format than 44 minutes a lot of the time. Better for artists
	4:50pm Frank Talk About Humans: Cool. That’s a subjective take though.
	♥ 4:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ The Oscar @4:46 When CDs were first released (rememner "Perfect Sound Forever", people dumped LP collections, for a while original pressings could be gotten for really cheap (things that now sell for big bucks).
	4:50pm Frank Talk About Humans: Bandcamp is great
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:45 no. those are the people for whom it's a fetish.
	4:51pm Frank Talk About Humans: And then people dumped their CDs lol. It will come back around again… it’s about to happen
	🎸 ♥ 4:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Monty Mundy (Is Maltese)!" by "Joe Jackson & Max ... Best Cockney Eastern European Maltese music hall conceit (at least, of this decade).
	4:52pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl is a fetish. It’s inferior in fidelity in almost every way and yet people claim it’s superior
	🎸 ♥ 4:52pm rf: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:47 My preferred music format is duck diapers
	4:52pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl is awesome for other reasons but it’s extremely archaic. Again, Buscemi in Ghost World comes to mind immediately
	♥ 4:52pm doctorjazz: My daughter went to school near the Princeton Record Exchange; she hit the CD section, found much music. very cheap...
	♥ 4:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:52 wrong.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm rf: Buscemi 4 president of the universe 2024
	4:53pm Frank Talk About Humans: See I started buying vinyl as a kid because it was so cheap.
	4:53pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Vinyl is great if you have unlimited funds, space, a turntable and professional movers to help you move them when you change houses or apartments. MOVING Vinyl was a chore.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm rf: I have a Steve Buscemi fetish
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:51 If CDs are going to be "revived", I would hope they would make them in an improved format, more durable, less prone to skipping and scratching and rotting. If they are to be collected, they should be less "disposable" to make it worth the effort.
	♥ 4:54pm coelacanth∅: when cds became the profitable thing for the industry, and new records stopped being available, i bought toms of cassettes. because cds didn't sound good to me.
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm PaulRobeson1924: I don’t get art
	♥ 4:54pm love2laf: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:53 Yeah, this is true. I think our current plan is to die in this house rather than attempt to move the vinyl & the cds.
	4:54pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’ve moved 5 times in the last 2 years. I never want to move my records again. I have managed to move about 1/3 of the collection out the door via Discogs bc I got so tired of lugging them around
	4:54pm Frank Talk About Humans: In other words, vinyl is great if you’re a Thurston
	♥ 4:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:52 Not at all true-I've done this with friends, played a CD copy of an album, then the LP (I have pretty good gear, being an audiophile nerd). Even expecting the CD to sound better (before the current vinyl return), he'd be shocked at how much better the vinyl sounded. (have a Linn LP12 turntable and associated gear of similar vintage).
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm rf: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:54 I was about to say, Where is PaulRobeson1924? Thank you for being here
	4:55pm Frank Talk About Humans: It’s very true Doc. Digital is higher fidelity
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm PaulRobeson1924: You’ve always been here
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm rf: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:55 Yes
	4:56pm Frank Talk About Humans: Digital rot is a thing though
	♥ 4:56pm Ike: The existence of the wellness-woo-woo-to-fascism pipeline means that Gwyneth Paltrow will be the ruthless queen of the future American Empire and will crush us all relentlessly under her heel while she mandates use of ozone-ass therapy and vag candles to all. KNEEL BEFORE GWYNETH, SERFS!
	♥ 4:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:54 Hahaha-in the same boat, the kids may go, but no way we can move outta this place (and bring the records with me), will also be buried here...
	♥ 4:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:53 well, that's exactly it. why people defend the inferior sounding cd. because cds are quite a lot more convenient -and practical, in many cases. (although they basically self-destruct eventually...something a record will never do (if it's vinyl)
	4:56pm Listener Robert: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:53 CDs are convenient for artists to carry around to sell a few of at their performances. That's how I tend to acquire them.
	4:56pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:52 Most vinyl sounds good depending on the production and vinyl quality... Weeded out some for trade that sounded like shite.
	4:56pm Frank Talk About Humans: As a physical medium, vinyl is inherently imperfect and extremely unreliable
	4:57pm Frank Talk About Humans: It melts easily
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ doctorjazz @4:54 Nice. I’ve got a Dual 1229. Fully mechanical, Nice wood and only 1 missing foot
	♥ 4:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ winston legthigh @3:20 winston!
	♥ 4:57pm Spikey BXL: Is he a shill for big CD?
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm rf: My Steve Buscemi fetish has a Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle fetish
	4:57pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl ppl will never not be this defensive lol
	♥ 4:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:57 I had one of those, nice!
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm rf: But it is an ironic fetish
	4:58pm Frank Talk About Humans: IPA drinkers
	4:58pm Dean: @doctorjazz: Did you receive this fulsome Linn video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vss9ZA00PNQ I adore Linn. The best system I recall hearing--albeit many years ago--was all Linn. Their first CD/DAC combination, Karik/Numerik, was stunning. I had one for many years, until the transport failed and Linn was no longer servicing it. (Now, I remain very happy with the Technics box.) But the video is just too much.
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:55 frequency response does not equal better sound.
	4:59pm Frank Talk About Humans: I have so many Fall CDs that were never issued on vinyl btw
	♥ 4:59pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:54 Been there, done that, with blindfolds. It was a mind boggle the first time I did it. I was avidly against vinyl until that moment.
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Listener Robert @4:56 Good point, a useful little "brand" with music, artwork, personnel that can be easily sold at shows and carried around. Though it's the digital compatibility that ultimately makes it relevant. CDs declined in the first place because the physical media middleman is cut in favor of direct digital acquisition.
	♥ 5:00pm doctorjazz: Haven't seen it, 20 minutes, have the tab open for later. (I had a feeling this Linn/vinyl talk would got you on the board)
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm PaulRobeson1924: The foot is made of 1inch by 1inch by 5 inch or so piece of wood and can be fixed. I keep a thin 1994 copy of Best Vegetarian restaurants in NYC under one corner to keep the turntable Level
	5:00pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Gut of the Quantifier" by "The Fall" My favorite Fall album.
	5:00pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl feels better in the hand. Sounds like rice crispies on a platter
	5:01pm Frank Talk About Humans: Cassette is a superior analog format
	5:01pm Listener Robert: It's even disappointing when the performer doesn't have CDs. Last year I asked a lady who was playing Sebelius whether she records, and she said she does but all she could do for me was point me to YouTubes of her. Usually, though, if it's C&W or rock or folk they'll have CDs.
	5:01pm Fredericks: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:00 All vinyl or this vinyl?
	♥ 5:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:01 Don't forget 8-Tracks...
	5:01pm Frank Talk About Humans: Easy to DIY too
	5:01pm Dean: We've talked LP12 upgrades a lot on these boards, too, and I would love to continue the upgrade on mine, but it requires budgeting. I also love hearing other folks' systems, including those that are built with economizing in mind. I've heard wonderful systems that set you back far less than I've spent on the turntable alone over the years.
	5:02pm Frank Talk About Humans: Not all vinyl snaps and pops obviously. It’s just always a possibility
	🎸 ♥ 5:02pm Matt from Springfield: :click: :clunk:
	♥ 5:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @5:01 Not so much budgeting-more like selling a kidney...
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Matt from Springfield: Irwin's Fetish Forum, how may we help you? ... Please hold...
	5:03pm garlic lover: I love the fall too — don’t know about a doc but I’d love to make one
	5:03pm Frank Talk About Humans: Was just listening to Darker My Love, who wound up being MES’s backing band for the Fall for a tour.
	♥ 5:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:03 I paid for an argument...
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:02 That was supposed to be @doctorjazz 5:01, obviously...
	5:04pm Dean: Or having second thoughts about footing the bill for the kids' college. I economize by spending less on an automobile than I do on stereo gear, but again, over time.
	5:04pm Fredericks: ↳ Fredericks @5:01 My Fall album is on cassette.
	5:04pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "Monty Mundy (Is Maltese)!" by "Joe Jackson & Max ... Was literally just reading about Joe Jackson’s Tribute to Louis Jordan!

	♥ 5:04pm GG..: Fall doc from BBC: The Fall - The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E Smith m.youtube.com...
	♥ 5:04pm love2laf: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:03 Yes, I'd like directions to the nearest fetish (record) store please.
	5:04pm Fredericks: ↳ doctorjazz @5:01 They only click three times.
	5:04pm Ochre Ogre: My "Court and Spark" LP is a standout for sound, like they really cared for quality.
	5:04pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’ve seen this doc. Thanks GG
	♥ 5:05pm GG..: Mark E Smith's autobiography is a blast too (Renegade)
	5:05pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I don't miss cassettes. Do NOT understand why they are making a comeback. Mixed CDs are where its at in my book.
	5:05pm Bri The Beatnik: Yay! Planning to listen to Old codger if schedule allows
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ doctorjazz @5:03 No you didn't! You paid for a contradiction fetish, with a side of gaslighting.
	♥ 5:05pm coelacanth∅: it's true, records can sound pretty bad when they've been owned or handled by idiots.
	5:05pm Listener Robert: Not like I have much budget for music nowadays, though. If I did, I'd be donating here, because WFMU's such a good and convenient collection!
	5:05pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:05 No
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm rf: Current fetish giving myself papercuts with the crisp edges of freshly opened mint record sleeves
	5:06pm P.Welles: Fall fans are not wrong.
	5:06pm Frank Talk About Humans: Man that CD sale sounds awesome. I wish I was closer.
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:04 I have that on LP as well! Good album, finely tuned as well on vinyl.
	5:06pm Frank Talk About Humans: Idiots can include the label sometimes who press cheap or shitty sounding wax
	5:06pm Marie in Chicago: I love the Fall
	♥ 5:07pm doctorjazz: And I have digital files that skip, make terrible noises, make a scratchy LP sound sweet!
	5:07pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Marie in Chicago @5:06 Same!
	♥ 5:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @5:04 jumpin' jive?! good album... but the original versions are better...of course
	5:07pm Frank Talk About Humans: Now flexi discs need to make a comeback (speaking of low fidelity “vinyl”)
	5:07pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:07 Yes it was! Agreed that original was better
	5:07pm Ochre Ogre: Not all but aren't SO many CDs being remastered because of crappy/compressed sound?
	5:08pm Bri The Beatnik: The fall are my all time fave pOst punk band
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm rf: Current fetish ASMR videos of reaming out the holes of rare 12" singles with moist q-tips
	5:08pm Frank Talk About Humans: 😂 vinyl ppl are so mad rn
	5:08pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:08 I think the cassette people are even madder! Hahah! 😂
	♥ 5:08pm love2laf: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:07 I have the original cd release of Paul Simon's Graceland, and it was the absolute worst piece of digital music crime I ever heard.
	5:09pm pmcWhenever: Fall Fetisch… MES was the Fall but he was a genuine wreck, saddening… his book autobio is good… epitome of contrarian MES, the Hanley Bros podcast fascinating thx
	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:07 Jumpin' Jive! A fave of my Dad. It was a good intro to the jive/jump sound, and gateway to hearing the originals, one good thing is that a variety of compositions were played and mixed consistently by the same musicians.
	♥ 5:09pm doctorjazz: I'd be happy if folks stopped buying vinyl, it's gotten so expensive now...
	5:09pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ doctorjazz @5:09 Not if you look in the dollar bins! Some gems to fave found there and thrift stores as well
	5:10pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I do agree, I wish MORE CARE was put into CDs mastering, format etc etc. It could be so good-buit its not.
	5:10pm Ochre Ogre: The best Fall is with Brix Smith.
	5:10pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:10 Agreed
	♥ 5:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:07 At the used bookstore in the Milwaukee airport last month, I found a copy of Billy and the Boingers Bootleg -- WITH the flexi! -- for $7!
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @5:09 True that! REAL vinyl, not mint condition or good packaging, but that's where you find 'well enough' records for great prices! Take a look at the vinyl surface before buying and enjoy!
	♥ 5:11pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Groovin' is Easy" by "The Electric Flag" Check out Mama Cass at the end of the song, backing vocal. Unmistakable voice.
	♥ 5:11pm love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:10 But have you played it?
	5:11pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:11 For sure! I even found some old vinyl through my statewide library catelogue!
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm rrg: The ONLY use I have for vinyl LPs is to digitize them it it's something that's never been released on CD. Unfortunately there's a lot of that.
	🎸 ♥ 5:12pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:10 Cool, used bookstores with records at an airport! I transferred at MKE a decade ago - they didn't have that at the time. (But did have a great sandwich place.)
	♥ 5:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:05 the biggest drawback of mix cds is exactly the thing that makes them so appealing to many people... in that you can skip around. perpetuating the short attention spans that have practically ruined the music industry. a mix tape is more convenient to listen to as it's meant to be: from beginning to end.
	♥ 5:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:12 Really? I feel like I've been going to this used bookstore for ten years now. They even validate parking if you're not flying! I didn't buy a history of the crossbow every year for five years, but finally I relented in the face of its persistence.
	5:13pm Rick A: Hi Irwin and All, I went to the Ghost Train Orchestra and Kronos Quartet play Moondog at Town Hall last night, fantastic show, really unique. I would not have gone without hearing about it on your show. I didn't even know that album existed. Your interview with, I think, Brian Carpenter caused me to buy tickets the next week. Also, I bought Lee Morgan's Gigolo album because you used to open your show with that track from it, something like "Yes I Do/No You Don't". Thank you for introducing me, along with many many others, to great music.
	5:13pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @5:08 OUTRAGED! :)
	5:14pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:13 I never found out how to make Mix cds, I’m a mix taper all the way!
	5:14pm Frank Talk About Humans: As a lifelong music buyer, my motto has always been to go after whatever’s cheap and available. Vinyl has become so fetishized since Record Store Day, that it isn’t really that cheap anymore. So CDs make sense more than they did in the 90s. It’s a really good format for a lot of reasons. Namely, it’s a physical copy of something that can be easily loaded into your iTunes. A physical backup, even. They’re smaller and easier to tour with, especially internationally. Also cheaper and faster to produce, which is an asset to most artists. Just a few reasons why it’s simply a more practical format. Luckily, most things stream now, but if you’re an audiophile, CDs are fine. Also, luckily, CDs are cheap right now, and a great way to support WFMU, so it’s a win-win. Anyone arguing for vinyl is obviously very financially invested, and that’s fine. When that becomes cheap again, I’ll probably buy more of it again too, but I’m 2024 it just seems like a material hang up for the first world
	♥ 5:15pm Handy Haversack: CDs are harder to store, at least for me.
	♥ 5:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:08 trolls like to think they're maddening people but they're often not, even slightly.
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:13 Maybe it's on the "open" side of security - that's why I didn't see it. But could be worth perusing, if the layover is long. Milwaukee's interesting enough to me to warrant a visit, but I've never even been to Chicago! (Outside of ol' ORD, also during transfers...) Will need to remedy both sometime!
	5:15pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:15 I sold all My cool cds/records for 50s comps, I should’ve held on to my trip hop albums :(
	5:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I need a dedicated shelf system to store the 200 or CDs that I have accreted over time. I just have a big stack of a couple dozen CDs I have bought in the last two years sitting on my bookshelf system.
	5:16pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’m no troll, Coel
	5:16pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’m making valid points. Sorry you’re triggered by any of it.
	5:16pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ love2laf @5:08 Oh man, had an 80s early 90s REM CD sounded like it was recorded in drain pipe.
	5:17pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Got Caught in Amsterdam" by "Arc De Soleil" I thought this was Khwangbing (?) at first....
	5:17pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’m also urging people to go to this CD sale and support the station. Would a troll do that?
	♥ 5:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:09 the thing, despite it being way too slick for my taste, is the humour in it! it must've been really fun to record.
	5:17pm Dean: Two record stores in my neighborhood have boxes of $1 and $2 LPs. Often they're too beat-up to purchase, but I manage to find plenty in good shape. Just picked up an old Lindisfarne LP with a cool die-cut cover a few days ago for two bucks. Had to build a studio in the backyard to house the records, CDs and LPs both. That adds a substantial premium to each unit, which means I need to buy still more to reduce the marginal cost. See how this works?
	5:18pm Rick A: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:14 I am still buying CDs for all of the reasons you mention, Frank. I thought about switching back to vinyl. My wife, oddly, even encouraged me to do it. However, I can purchase a used CD of a band for $10-12 when the 100 gram vinyl edition would cost $30-40. Even the used one would be close to $20. I will be missing the WFMU CD sale because we will be going to England to visit family. I always go to a CD/record store in Soho called Sister Ray, it really is. Last summer a clerk told me that they sell more CDs than vinyl there which really surprised me.
	5:18pm Frank Talk About Humans: That’s the thing. Used to be able to get pretty clean copy’s of stuff for well under $10. Oops am I trolling, Coel?
	5:18pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ doctorjazz @5:09 That's why one Has to go to FMU Record Fares.
	♥ 5:18pm love2laf: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:16 I gotta say, your stance is edging toward the troll side of town. "Anyone arguing for vinyl is obviously very financially invested"
	♥ 5:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:15 It is! Right next to the museum of flight and the gravity well!
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:17 I'll bet it was fun sessions!
	♥ 5:19pm Deano de los Muertos: been enjoying the show
	5:20pm Rick A: When I choose DJ premiums, I always go for the mixed CDs over T-shirts, of which I have way too many, or coasters or anything else.
	5:20pm Frank Talk About Humans: Everyone should go shop the shit out of this CD sale. Why am I being called a troll?
	♥ 5:20pm Ike: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:18 Alert! Alert! Severe apostrophe molestation detected! I have been triggered!
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm rf: ↳ Song: "Warehouse Dream" by "Jefferson Pilot" Current fetish this song, preferably on wax cylinder
	5:20pm Ochre Ogre: Hey Handy! Sounds naughty!?
	♥ 5:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @5:14 i make mix cds. for the car; and for people who don't have the means to play a cassette. but i still listen to the old mix tapes. i have lots!
	5:20pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:20 Nice!
	5:21pm Frank Talk About Humans: Anyone who is arguing for vinyl has obviously spent many years and many dollars on that collection. That’s financial investment. And as I said, that is fine. I consider myself partially in this camp. I have a large collection, myself. Nothing about what I said could be interpreted as a troll by any reasonable person.
	5:21pm Sloan from Washington: I did not expect this radio station to have a live chat but I guess I get surprised every day
	5:22pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:20 That bootleg you snagged.
	♥ 5:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:20 The gravity well? Fun for the whole family!
	🎸 ♥ 5:23pm rrg: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:21 I'm with you, Frank. Sometimes it seems that the "troll" label is applied to anyone who argues consistently for an unpopular opinion.
	5:23pm Frank Talk About Humans: It’s just because I’m not logged in on my laptop that I’m being treated this way by perpetual online ppl like troll-e-canth
	🎸 ♥ 5:23pm rf: ↳ rf @5:20 Too bad it's simply free on Bandcamp jeffersonpilot.bandcamp.com...
	5:24pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:23 COEL IS NOT A TROLL!
	5:24pm Frank Talk About Humans: Dude does it every time I share an opinion. Hall monitor syndrome I guess. I’m going hiking. Later!
	5:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: "Buy cassette tapes, you might be able to play it 40 or 50 times before it self-destructs! " Mixed tapes were cool though. Jhan Dean Egg had HUNDREDS of tapes and a very spiffy Nakamichi that did not eat tapes, it was a fine bit of Japanese engineering. However, most car tape decks were pretty bad in my book. Albums were cool when you could get a good used album for eight bucks. Those days are LONG gone. Frank, you and Irwin are not Trolls. Music should be affordable and of decent quality thats all.
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm rf: ↳ rf @5:23 From Jersey! Thanks Irwin
	♥ 5:24pm Picante Mint: I started buying used CDs again a couple years ago, until recently one of them tripped up my cars CD player and it thinks there's a CD in there. :(
	5:25pm Alexandra: This is lovely
	🎸 ♥ 5:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Ike @5:20 Wuh oh, do you think we need to bring the Faceless Ocean and Head of a Dead Ram out of storage? 😏
	5:25pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:22 No, the gravity is always pullin me down.
	5:26pm trøllecanth: 👋🏼
	♥ 5:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:22 Oh, it's a Bloom County book from the eighties that came with a flexi in it! I had lost it at some point.
	♥ 5:27pm Ike: ↳ Sloan from Washington @5:21 Not just that, but it's usually surprisingly friendly, flame-war-free, and troll-free around here (today's accusations notwithstanding). Most decent comments on the internet, or close to it.
	5:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Melody Maker "newspaper" from England back int the 80's had flexi disks. I had a zodiac mindwarp one for a while.
	5:27pm Avspuk: ↳ GG.. @5:04 Fan made Fall doc, "zits not repetition, it's discipline" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6SoICqXUgMM S Hanley's "The Big Midweek" is probably more 'informstive' than MES's ghost written auto bio. The Hanley brothers "Oh brother" podcast is pretty good (despite crap sound quality), the Grant Showbiz, Marcia Schofoeld & Una Baines ones are my faves from the band members . The Rollins & Albini ones are entertaining. But for info on the songs & with bits & pieces on how they (possibly) came to be then it's "The Annotated Fall" website I reckon. I've not read Wolstenholme, nor Brix's nor Paul Hanley's books tho. Paul's book on the making of Hex Enduction Hour is rated tho, so maybe start there plus the BBC doc & the Annotated website? Lastly there's the hefty"You must get them all" book which is probably the definitive guide & I think 'does' every song in order (the now largely gutted blog that it's based off did iirr) Hope that helps, daresay IC/everyone knows of most of this already, but Justin Case is a friend to us all, innit!
	♥ 5:28pm Handy Haversack: Irwin, in sports news, I took a screaming line drive off the side of my neck while pitching batting practice(!) at our first softball game of the season last night. Two inches to the right, and I think I might not have survived. Sore and swollen today but glad to be hearing music!
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Ike @5:27 Hear hear!
	♥ 5:29pm Irwin: ↳ Avspuk @5:27 Thank you! I'll explore.
	♥ 5:30pm Irwin: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:28 Handy on the 15-day DL.
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Fault Line" by "Black Rebel Motorcycle Club" This album transports me to a very specific time and place in my life... ca. 2011 / 2011, I was between jobs with only a Saturday bartending gig on the LES (St Jerome's) ... lots of hangovers, stress, and a kind of broken clarity — or at least a broken translucence.
	♥ 5:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:21 character assessments based on an opinion you're arguing (and started) against is trolling. everyone is trying to have a reasonable debate/discussion and you're making incorrect assumptions based on your obviously limited experience. ...many people have invested a lot of money on many, even ALL formats. i personally am selling most of my vinyl... NOT holding onto it. it has nothing to do with an experience opinion about the sound.
	5:31pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:28 You might want to go to urgent care and get that checked out just to be safe. You could have an embolism? Good thing you were not 'throat punched' by the ball and have a shattered larynx!
	♥ 5:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Irwin @5:30 Ha -- I had to pitch the rest of the game!
	♥ 5:33pm Spikey BXL: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:31 the inferences that were posited still reeked of the mines of Moria - i am with you on that sprinkling facts among them, doesn't change that
	5:33pm trøllecanth: Coel, drink some water and take a deep breath. None of this is even worth arguing about.
	♥ 5:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:31 Thanks. I think it should be OK. If you don't see me on Wake tomorrow, remember me fondly!
	5:33pm trøllecanth: Find a better way to use that energy, amigo
	5:34pm Ochre Ogre: Listen to a Japanese, German, Scandinavian or most British LPs and compare to average US LPs, US loses.
	🎸 ♥ 5:34pm rf: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:26 "U Stink But I Love U" ???? <3
	♥ 5:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:23 i've never seen you logged in and i doubt you have an account - unless you're making one right now! and when you first appeared (with this handle) was a week or 2 ago when you were trolling a contrary opinion to a show host - resulting in your present moniker.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Matt from Springfield: The Old Codger returns!!!
	5:35pm trøllecanth: Imagine getting this upset about someone hyping CDs in advance of a station CD sale fundraiser.
	5:36pm trøllecanth: Sad!

	5:37pm jan: Irwin: Electric Flag got a lot of play on my teenage stereo set, another country, was one that I was blasting while high and I didn't hear my Mom come in, wondering what I was doing...
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Univisionary Gus" by "Gus Bodenheim" Not a Gloomy Gus, more like a Stewmy Gus...
	5:37pm Alexandra: Truculence = belligerence if anyone else heard that and also had no idea what that meant
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Univisionary Gus" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gus would love Matt McCarthy on TikTok
	♥ 5:38pm Irwin: ↳ jan @5:37 I only know three or four of their songs. I keep going back to "Groovin'."

	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm rrg: ↳ Laura L @5:45 Yeah, me too! I'm still under the weather. Probably take another couple days.
	🎸 ♥ 5:51pm estebangrande: ↳ Song: "Ravin'" by "Misha Panfilov" i'm in. that intro was Fela Kuti length
	5:52pm Fredericks: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:13 Yes, and a lot of times 15 to 20 minutes a side is good amount of time to take in a record.
	♥ 5:52pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:53pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Song: "Ravin'" by "Misha Panfilov" This song is better than most of the jazz played on most of the jazz stations. Jazz is just so much BETTER here for some reason.

Listener comments!
	12:55pm Lolabelle Pancake: There's a rumor that Courtney the Codger will return to WFMU tonight at 7pm. I wouldn't post this here if the rumor were not true. But if it were true, it wouldn't be a rumor.
	12:55pm Lolabelle Pancake: At least that's what I was told to post here.
	🎸 ♥ 2:38pm 12539: ↳ Lolabelle Pancake @12:55 I wonder if Gus will show up and fisticuffs will ensue.
	2:50pm Listener Robert: www.wfmu.org... Is how Codge's been announcing his tour engagements.
	🎸 ♥ 3:00pm 12539: Irwin!
	3:01pm bradford: Hey there Irwin & all!

	🎸 ♥ 3:02pm G: Reporting in :-) Working online, may or may not be chatty...
	♥ 3:04pm Hubig Pie: So is this person swapping a copy of Faces of Death or the 3 Stooges? And which Stooges?
	♥ 3:04pm love2laf: This Free Ad is making my OCD heart cringe! I mean they typed where they are told to fill in their phone number. What madness is this?!
	♥ 3:04pm common: hello, irwin. all.

	♥ 3:08pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:05 I'm kinda partial to the Shemp era.
	🎸 ♥ 3:09pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Irwin, still tuned in love2laf, everybody!
	🎸 ♥ 3:09pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Vitruvian Man" by "The Bevis Frond" Kudos to anyone who rhymes "Genital glands" with "Vitruvian man" in the first verse of their song and make it sound serious — moody, even. Good work, Bevis Frond. I should listen to you more often.
	🎸 ♥ 3:10pm listener 126464: Can I get one and a half beers and a half of a sandwich instead?
	🎸 ♥ 3:10pm DjLorraine: Good afternoon. Is there also flat moon society? If so, are they a rotation or a rotary club?
	🎸 ♥ 3:11pm The Oscar: 3 Stooges and Faces of Death on VHS? I'll be in the kitchen!
	🎸 ♥ 3:12pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ listener 126464 @3:10 Hi 126464!

	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm The Oscar: ↳ Irwin @3:13 I guess it depends on whether you count Mike Watt.

	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm winston legthigh: gus is all bark and no bite.
	3:22pm popsicornia: Killing it today Irwin. A pleasure, as always.
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Hunterian @3:21 Got my PayPal at the ready.
	3:25pm pmcWhenever: grand panned jaz’ separation that left channel is like gone— back
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "The Blessing" by "Ornette Coleman" I had a wildly vivid dream about Ornette Coleman in 2010 or 2011. I was playing banjo, and he was playing trumpet. I still remember it as clearly as if it really happened. I was playing a slow and pretty song, and he snuck up behind me and just started playing all kinds of atonal noise. I tried to adjust what I was playing to accommodate it, but was seated and couldn't turn around to see who it was. Until after we both stopped, I turned around to see him grinning like a maniac. "And you were trying to play along!" he cackled.
	3:28pm MJ: Singer reminds me of Judee Sill
	♥ 3:30pm love2laf: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:09 I see you're still tuned in as well. Bobbling about in the kitchen, trying to create a broccoli Caesar salad. Irwin's playing perfect tunes for kitchening.
	3:32pm QGFFDF: Huh. I thought of an old friend named Margaret and then a second later Irwin said "O Margaret". Love when that happens.
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Book of Bodenheim is available in paperback?
	3:33pm Marie in Chicago: I'm guessing Gus is going to try to sell us something. Hi Irwin, hi All!
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" A great new scam--err, inspiration by Gus. HI Irwin and Chusidians and Bodenheimers!
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm rf: "oh noble daddy, tucked in your swaddling silence" lol
	3:35pm Patrick Mahomes: "one sensible thing said by this wall eyed philospher" - lol
	♥ 3:35pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" I can hardly wait to see the Broadway musical.
	3:35pm Marie in Chicago: "begone ye postage"--love it
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Matt from Springfield: Eternal flaming trash receptacle - Dumpster™ is trademarked.
	3:36pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @3:35 pEstage
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Well, I feel saved already...
	♥ 3:37pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Revelatory.
	3:37pm Ochre Ogre: "Rick Griffen eyeball"!
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm estebangrande: already memorized it
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Gregosaurus @3:36 But who will save us from the savers??..
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm rf: 👏👏👏👏
	3:39pm pmcWhenever: had G. gotten into-ith the A.I.?
	♥ 3:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Amen, selah, etc.
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, yeah! Remind me to keep a pencil close by later when the Old Codger reads off his phone number. Seems I never have one around for jotting it down. ✏️
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Acid Cazh: I feel spiritually cleansed. Ready for ascendance, enlightenment, a strong cocktail, what-have-you.
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm rf: Gus outdid himself
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm winston legthigh: that was alot to unpack.
	♥ 3:40pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gobsmacked, I am. Smacked with gobs of gob. Gob help me.
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm estebangrande: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:38 for some reason i was reading about Jan Hus this week. the savers did not save him
	♥ 3:40pm Dan S: ↳ rf @3:39 The Spirit moved him.
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm rf: And now, jazz
	♥ 3:40pm Hubig Pie: ↳ winston legthigh @3:40 Gus gets paid by the word.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:38 That's eternally, the rub...
	♥ 3:41pm Dan S: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:40 That would explain much.
	3:41pm Ochre Ogre: If there's a church of Gus? I'm in.
	3:42pm Jorday R: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" We need a Gus Bodenheim compilation
	3:42pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:40 Har!
	♥ 3:43pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Psalm #1" by "Gus Bodenheim" One last comment: To err is human, to Bodenheim is divine.
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm winston legthigh: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:41 praise gus.
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ estebangrande @3:40 I recently visited the Bethlehem chapel in Prague, where he was based. They have a good museum about him there, an interesting figure.
	🎸 ♥ 3:45pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Irwin @3:40 Gob be praised!
	♥ 3:46pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Looking for the Sun" by "Mary Timony" Drums: Dave Mattacks.
	🎸 ♥ 3:46pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Great Unknown" by "Mystic Braves" This is good - '60s, or '80s '60s revival? Actually - '10s '80s '60s revival!! "The Mystic Braves are an American psychedelic rock band, formed by Julian Ducatenzeiler and Tony Malacara in 2011 and based in Los Angeles. The band cites the Seeds, the Zombies, the Beatles, Ultimate Spinach, along with garage rock and surf rock as influences."
	♥ 3:47pm xtrakrispy: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:46 It smacked of Belle and Sebastian to me, which can cover a lot of those revivals as well...
	3:47pm wild Neil peace all: Irwin, thank you for providing years and years of great music. God bless you.
	3:49pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Looking for the Sun" by "Mary Timony" Yes, Mary Timony flows over to Irwin's show!
	♥ 3:50pm Irwin: ↳ wild Neil peace all @3:47 May Gus be with you.
	3:51pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Looking for the Sun" by "Mary Timony" Was looking for the sun Monday last week but it got covered by the moon.
	♥ 3:52pm coco: Detectorists...one of the best english shows!
	3:52pm Glistener MW: Detectorists! That show was such a wonderful gift to slow-life enthusiasts like myself
	3:54pm Joe: UNCLE ACID
	3:57pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Melody Lane" by "Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats" !!! The band has been described as "the original Alice Cooper band jamming in a cell with early Black Sabbath and the Stooges".[5] In order to replicate the sound of that era, the band uses vintage instruments and recording equipment.[6] WIKI
	♥ 3:57pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Melody Lane" by "Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats" Can't wait for the new album - Italo horror soundtrack inspired
	♥ 4:05pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:44 Matt: I will be in Prague May 1 - 8. Any tips would be welcome (via email).
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm estebangrande: ↳ Jorday R @3:42 slouching towards Bodenheim, i got the download on Monday. thanks volunteers thanks Irwin Praise be to Gus
	♥ 4:06pm love2laf: YAY VOLUNTEERS, you're amazing <3
	4:06pm Brendan: Some assembly required.
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm estebangrande: not sure how i answered that to you Jorday
	4:06pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:57 Sounds Goblin-ish
	4:07pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ love2laf @4:06 Ditto!
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bumbo" by "Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet" Pre-Starred! Dee-lite-full arrangements.
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @4:05 It's an amazing place! I would be glad to send suggestions! (Do you want to give an email here, or should I just click 'Contact' in your profile?)
	4:13pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Bumbo" by "Ghost Train Orchestra & Kronos Quartet" Reckon The Lounge Lizards listened to some Moondog, then listened some more.
	4:14pm Mister Dobalina: Really diggin' these smoooOOOOOoooTH sounds.
	♥ 4:16pm Irwin: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:13 Phillip Glass lived with Moondog for a year. That partly explains Glass's music.
	♥ 4:16pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:12 Thank you. I sent my email to your profile.
	♥ 4:18pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:06 Correct consequence.net...
	♥ 4:19pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "8x8 (ft. Rebecca Steinberg)" 8x8 is Lane Steinberg and Alex Kodchenko.
	4:19pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Irwin @4:16 Fascinating.Thanks for that nugget.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "8x8 (ft. Rebecca Steinberg)" Rebecca Steinberg! From the noble Lane Steinberg musical family. Keeping up his legacy of eclectic pop rock with good lyrics.
	4:21pm Philip: yeah dig this
	4:23pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:18 Interesting looking blokes, like Black Sabbath with beards.
	♥ 4:24pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:23 Seen them live twice, highly recommend attending one of their gigs
	🎸 ♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: Oooooh YES!!! Classic Irwin bed music! 😃
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "8x8 (ft. Rebecca Steinberg)" 8x8! Good for them working with Ukrainian musicians 💞
	♥ 4:34pm paddy in matawan: "CD sale"
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm DjLorraine: ↳ winston legthigh @3:19 🙋
	♥ 4:35pm Irwin: ↳ paddy in matawan @4:34 Bargains, Bargains, Bargains!!!
	4:35pm Frank Talk About Humans: CDs are going to make a big comeback. Laugh all you want, it’s a great format.
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm winston legthigh: high interest rates have contributed to the cd boom.
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Boy, What a Night" by "Lee Morgan" And now...Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder. Eternally an "Irwin vibe" to me. Great vivid music to begin with, but so associated with our DJ and his show to me.
	4:36pm Frank Talk About Humans: Trump said that if he’s re-elected, he’s going to bring back the CD long box to spite Michael Stipe
	♥ 4:36pm Irwin: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:35 I agree. Not being ironic. LPs are nice, but they're a luxury, a fetish in some cases.
	4:37pm Frank Talk About Humans: Fully, Irwin. They’re ideal
	♥ 4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Boy, What a Night" by "Lee Morgan" From Lee's album with his HIT!
	♥ 4:37pm coelacanth∅: too bad you had to take a mic break because the garment district into this Lee Morgan would've been a good segue
	4:37pm burpage: Enjoying the tunes
	4:37pm Frank Talk About Humans: Also, try touring Europe with boxes of LPs. CDs are better
	♥ 4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:35 I've already read about the CD revival happening. Waddya expect, LPs now sell for 2-3 times the CD version (with.a download a bit cheaper still).
	4:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Irwin @4:36 Like a fool, I gave away my entire stereo (left it on a streetcorner, Clinton St. and Houston) in the 90's. CDs are affordable, portable and somewhat reliable, althought they DO SCRACTH and skip!\
	♥ 4:40pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:37 I had reservations. I stand by the decision to commit programmus interruptus.
	♥ 4:40pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Irwin @4:36 checks notes vinyl fetish, the man is correct
	♥ 4:40pm Irwin: ↳ doctorjazz @4:38 Hey, I'm the guy who predicted the calypso revival 45 years ago. Still waiting.
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm rf: ↳ Song: "Boy, What a Night" by "Lee Morgan" Whoa this album has a distinctive sound
	♥ 4:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irwin @4:36 I'm an LP fetishist, but I think hard now about whether I really "need" the LP version, or the CD version will do me fine.
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @4:40 It was precisely 4:30 mic break, so that was a good choice to pause in any case.
	4:42pm Frank Talk About Humans: LPs scratch and skip a hell of a lot more, and easier. I’ve collected in all formats for most of my life and I still think the vinyl fetish thing is overblown. These guys really start to look like Buscemi in Ghost World after a while.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm winston legthigh: thanks irwin, gus and all. especially gus. later kids!
	4:44pm Frank Talk About Humans: When you realize all an LP is, is a piece of cardboard and vinyl, and realize that a lot of the stuff is mastered from digital now, it’s clear that it’s just a material fetish. They’re like trophies for those with disposable income.
	4:44pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Its time somebody spoke about the vinyl fetish. Records are so damn expensive. You can get decent bands on CDs used for 6.50 in Oklahoma City. (I got Nada Surf, Elivs, Heavy Psych and Stoner music volume 8 all for under ten bucks each and they fit in my backpack. Try that with records?
	♥ 4:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @4:40 just messin' with you Irwin - and trust your musical judgement... but i think it would've been alright
	♥ 4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irwin @4:40 Any day now...
	4:45pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl is for people who call them “vinyls” now
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm The Oscar: ↳ doctorjazz @4:41 I remember as a teen getting into music in the late '90s asking whether I really "needed" the CD version or if I could settle for an original LP pressing!
	4:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OH and a Mojo magazine Pete Townshend/Roger Daltry playlist for five bucks. Killer deals. Guestroom Records, OKC. Also saw Voivod! MET Voivod, man those guys are so cool! Go see them at Bowery Ballroom in May, 40th anniversary for them!! Get a Tshirt, wish I did!
	4:47pm Frank Talk About Humans: My rule has always been to buy in whatever format is available at that moment. I’ve rarely ever been like “ooh I neeeeed that on vinyl”. Maybe spent a little extra coin for some rare out of print stuff, but vinyl is just a pose now.
	4:47pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:39 Wish I knew, lived 2 blocks away off Ave D.
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:41 lps sound better - absolutely. cds lack depth, generally. but it's probably not inherent to the format, but because of the pervasive lack of aesthetics within the music industry
	4:48pm Frank Talk About Humans: Yeah that’s definitely something people have been saying for years, but isn’t true.
	♥ 4:49pm doctorjazz: I've been collecting music for, ahem, more than 50 years now. I still think vinyl sounds better than other formats out there (assuming it was a well recorded and mastered record to begin with). and still lean to geting LPs over digital versions (Bandcamp is the BEST-you get a digital download of any album you buy there, in any format. Of course, they don't have everything...
	4:49pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Irwin @4:40 Only the Mighty Sparrow knows.
	4:49pm Frank Talk About Humans: Also, I prefer a longer format than 44 minutes a lot of the time. Better for artists
	4:50pm Frank Talk About Humans: Cool. That’s a subjective take though.
	♥ 4:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ The Oscar @4:46 When CDs were first released (rememner "Perfect Sound Forever", people dumped LP collections, for a while original pressings could be gotten for really cheap (things that now sell for big bucks).
	4:50pm Frank Talk About Humans: Bandcamp is great
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:45 no. those are the people for whom it's a fetish.
	4:51pm Frank Talk About Humans: And then people dumped their CDs lol. It will come back around again… it’s about to happen
	🎸 ♥ 4:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Monty Mundy (Is Maltese)!" by "Joe Jackson & Max ... Best Cockney Eastern European Maltese music hall conceit (at least, of this decade).
	4:52pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl is a fetish. It’s inferior in fidelity in almost every way and yet people claim it’s superior
	🎸 ♥ 4:52pm rf: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:47 My preferred music format is duck diapers
	4:52pm Frank Talk About Humans: Vinyl is awesome for other reasons but it’s extremely archaic. Again, Buscemi in Ghost World comes to mind immediately
	♥ 4:52pm doctorjazz: My daughter went to school near the Princeton Record Exchange; she hit the CD section, found much music. very cheap...
	♥ 4:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:52 wrong.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm rf: Buscemi 4 president of the universe 2024
	4:53pm Frank Talk About Humans: See I started buying vinyl as a kid because it was so cheap.
	4:53pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Vinyl is great if you have unlimited funds, space, a turntable and professional movers to help you move them when you change houses or apartments. MOVING Vinyl was a chore.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm rf: I have a Steve Buscemi fetish
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:51 If CDs are going to be "revived", I would hope they would make them in an improved format, more durable, less prone to skipping and scratching and rotting. If they are to be collected, they should be less "disposable" to make it worth the effort.
	♥ 4:54pm coelacanth∅: when cds became the profitable thing for the industry, and new records stopped being available, i bought toms of cassettes. because cds didn't sound good to me.
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm PaulRobeson1924: I don’t get art
	♥ 4:54pm love2laf: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:53 Yeah, this is true. I think our current plan is to die in this house rather than attempt to move the vinyl & the cds.
	4:54pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’ve moved 5 times in the last 2 years. I never want to move my records again. I have managed to move about 1/3 of the collection out the door via Discogs bc I got so tired of lugging them around
	4:54pm Frank Talk About Humans: In other words, vinyl is great if you’re a Thurston

	♥ 4:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:53 well, that's exactly it. why people defend the inferior sounding cd. because cds are quite a lot more convenient -and practical, in many cases. (although they basically self-destruct eventually...something a record will never do (if it's vinyl)
	4:56pm Listener Robert: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:53 CDs are convenient for artists to carry around to sell a few of at their performances. That's how I tend to acquire them.
	4:56pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:52 Most vinyl sounds good depending on the production and vinyl quality... Weeded out some for trade that sounded like shite.

	4:58pm Dean: @doctorjazz: Did you receive this fulsome Linn video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vss9ZA00PNQ I adore Linn. The best system I recall hearing--albeit many years ago--was all Linn. Their first CD/DAC combination, Karik/Numerik, was stunning. I had one for many years, until the transport failed and Linn was no longer servicing it. (Now, I remain very happy with the Technics box.) But the video is just too much.
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @4:55 frequency response does not equal better sound.
	4:59pm Frank Talk About Humans: I have so many Fall CDs that were never issued on vinyl btw
	♥ 4:59pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:54 Been there, done that, with blindfolds. It was a mind boggle the first time I did it. I was avidly against vinyl until that moment.
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Listener Robert @4:56 Good point, a useful little "brand" with music, artwork, personnel that can be easily sold at shows and carried around. Though it's the digital compatibility that ultimately makes it relevant. CDs declined in the first place because the physical media middleman is cut in favor of direct digital acquisition.

	5:01pm Listener Robert: It's even disappointing when the performer doesn't have CDs. Last year I asked a lady who was playing Sebelius whether she records, and she said she does but all she could do for me was point me to YouTubes of her. Usually, though, if it's C&W or rock or folk they'll have CDs.

	5:01pm Dean: We've talked LP12 upgrades a lot on these boards, too, and I would love to continue the upgrade on mine, but it requires budgeting. I also love hearing other folks' systems, including those that are built with economizing in mind. I've heard wonderful systems that set you back far less than I've spent on the turntable alone over the years.

	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:07 Jumpin' Jive! A fave of my Dad. It was a good intro to the jive/jump sound, and gateway to hearing the originals, one good thing is that a variety of compositions were played and mixed consistently by the same musicians.

	5:11pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:11 For sure! I even found some old vinyl through my statewide library catelogue!
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm rrg: The ONLY use I have for vinyl LPs is to digitize them it it's something that's never been released on CD. Unfortunately there's a lot of that.
	🎸 ♥ 5:12pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:10 Cool, used bookstores with records at an airport! I transferred at MKE a decade ago - they didn't have that at the time. (But did have a great sandwich place.)
	♥ 5:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:05 the biggest drawback of mix cds is exactly the thing that makes them so appealing to many people... in that you can skip around. perpetuating the short attention spans that have practically ruined the music industry. a mix tape is more convenient to listen to as it's meant to be: from beginning to end.
	♥ 5:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:12 Really? I feel like I've been going to this used bookstore for ten years now. They even validate parking if you're not flying! I didn't buy a history of the crossbow every year for five years, but finally I relented in the face of its persistence.
	5:13pm Rick A: Hi Irwin and All, I went to the Ghost Train Orchestra and Kronos Quartet play Moondog at Town Hall last night, fantastic show, really unique. I would not have gone without hearing about it on your show. I didn't even know that album existed. Your interview with, I think, Brian Carpenter caused me to buy tickets the next week. Also, I bought Lee Morgan's Gigolo album because you used to open your show with that track from it, something like "Yes I Do/No You Don't". Thank you for introducing me, along with many many others, to great music.
	5:13pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @5:08 OUTRAGED! :)
	5:14pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:13 I never found out how to make Mix cds, I’m a mix taper all the way!
	5:14pm Frank Talk About Humans: As a lifelong music buyer, my motto has always been to go after whatever’s cheap and available. Vinyl has become so fetishized since Record Store Day, that it isn’t really that cheap anymore. So CDs make sense more than they did in the 90s. It’s a really good format for a lot of reasons. Namely, it’s a physical copy of something that can be easily loaded into your iTunes. A physical backup, even. They’re smaller and easier to tour with, especially internationally. Also cheaper and faster to produce, which is an asset to most artists. Just a few reasons why it’s simply a more practical format. Luckily, most things stream now, but if you’re an audiophile, CDs are fine. Also, luckily, CDs are cheap right now, and a great way to support WFMU, so it’s a win-win. Anyone arguing for vinyl is obviously very financially invested, and that’s fine. When that becomes cheap again, I’ll probably buy more of it again too, but I’m 2024 it just seems like a material hang up for the first world
	♥ 5:15pm Handy Haversack: CDs are harder to store, at least for me.
	♥ 5:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:08 trolls like to think they're maddening people but they're often not, even slightly.
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:13 Maybe it's on the "open" side of security - that's why I didn't see it. But could be worth perusing, if the layover is long. Milwaukee's interesting enough to me to warrant a visit, but I've never even been to Chicago! (Outside of ol' ORD, also during transfers...) Will need to remedy both sometime!
	5:15pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:15 I sold all My cool cds/records for 50s comps, I should’ve held on to my trip hop albums :(
	5:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I need a dedicated shelf system to store the 200 or CDs that I have accreted over time. I just have a big stack of a couple dozen CDs I have bought in the last two years sitting on my bookshelf system.
	5:16pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’m no troll, Coel
	5:16pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’m making valid points. Sorry you’re triggered by any of it.
	5:16pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ love2laf @5:08 Oh man, had an 80s early 90s REM CD sounded like it was recorded in drain pipe.
	5:17pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Got Caught in Amsterdam" by "Arc De Soleil" I thought this was Khwangbing (?) at first....
	5:17pm Frank Talk About Humans: I’m also urging people to go to this CD sale and support the station. Would a troll do that?
	♥ 5:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:09 the thing, despite it being way too slick for my taste, is the humour in it! it must've been really fun to record.
	5:17pm Dean: Two record stores in my neighborhood have boxes of $1 and $2 LPs. Often they're too beat-up to purchase, but I manage to find plenty in good shape. Just picked up an old Lindisfarne LP with a cool die-cut cover a few days ago for two bucks. Had to build a studio in the backyard to house the records, CDs and LPs both. That adds a substantial premium to each unit, which means I need to buy still more to reduce the marginal cost. See how this works?
	5:18pm Rick A: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:14 I am still buying CDs for all of the reasons you mention, Frank. I thought about switching back to vinyl. My wife, oddly, even encouraged me to do it. However, I can purchase a used CD of a band for $10-12 when the 100 gram vinyl edition would cost $30-40. Even the used one would be close to $20. I will be missing the WFMU CD sale because we will be going to England to visit family. I always go to a CD/record store in Soho called Sister Ray, it really is. Last summer a clerk told me that they sell more CDs than vinyl there which really surprised me.
	5:18pm Frank Talk About Humans: That’s the thing. Used to be able to get pretty clean copy’s of stuff for well under $10. Oops am I trolling, Coel?
	5:18pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ doctorjazz @5:09 That's why one Has to go to FMU Record Fares.
	♥ 5:18pm love2laf: ↳ Frank Talk About Humans @5:16 I gotta say, your stance is edging toward the troll side of town. "Anyone arguing for vinyl is obviously very financially invested"

	5:20pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:20 Nice!
	5:21pm Frank Talk About Humans: Anyone who is arguing for vinyl has obviously spent many years and many dollars on that collection. That’s financial investment. And as I said, that is fine. I consider myself partially in this camp. I have a large collection, myself. Nothing about what I said could be interpreted as a troll by any reasonable person.

	5:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: "Buy cassette tapes, you might be able to play it 40 or 50 times before it self-destructs! " Mixed tapes were cool though. Jhan Dean Egg had HUNDREDS of tapes and a very spiffy Nakamichi that did not eat tapes, it was a fine bit of Japanese engineering. However, most car tape decks were pretty bad in my book. Albums were cool when you could get a good used album for eight bucks. Those days are LONG gone. Frank, you and Irwin are not Trolls. Music should be affordable and of decent quality thats all.

	5:27pm Avspuk: ↳ GG.. @5:04 Fan made Fall doc, "zits not repetition, it's discipline" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6SoICqXUgMM S Hanley's "The Big Midweek" is probably more 'informstive' than MES's ghost written auto bio. The Hanley brothers "Oh brother" podcast is pretty good (despite crap sound quality), the Grant Showbiz, Marcia Schofoeld & Una Baines ones are my faves from the band members . The Rollins & Albini ones are entertaining. But for info on the songs & with bits & pieces on how they (possibly) came to be then it's "The Annotated Fall" website I reckon. I've not read Wolstenholme, nor Brix's nor Paul Hanley's books tho. Paul's book on the making of Hex Enduction Hour is rated tho, so maybe start there plus the BBC doc & the Annotated website? Lastly there's the hefty"You must get them all" book which is probably the definitive guide & I think 'does' every song in order (the now largely gutted blog that it's based off did iirr) Hope that helps, daresay IC/everyone knows of most of this already, but Justin Case is a friend to us all, innit!
