Good to hear you again, Irwin! This is a great mashup.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:18pm Parq:

Mon. 12/10/07 3:23pm north guinea hills:

Mon. 12/10/07 3:25pm jonathan:

scott walker is a genius. there's a documentary coming out about him soonish. i forget what it's called.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:26pm sm:

i am with you guinea hills, i could never figure out what's with scott walker--it just does not do it for me

Mon. 12/10/07 3:26pm tom:

scott walker is the equivalent to fingernails on the chalkboard

Mon. 12/10/07 3:27pm Kimberly:

nice intro. uh-huh.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:29pm TD:

Any chance that we will get a bit of calypso? I miss Muriel's Treasure.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:30pm sadie:

scott walker, YUCK! it now smells like old spice in here

Mon. 12/10/07 3:31pm Irwin:

No disrespecting Scott Walker around here. That man's earned your worship.

Yes, some calypso planned. A little treasure from Muriel.

And hiya, Kim!

Mon. 12/10/07 3:33pm north guinea hills:

i can respect a man w/o liking his music just as easily as i can despise a man and love his music

Mon. 12/10/07 3:37pm Jackie:

can i despise this song?

Mon. 12/10/07 3:39pm Wes:

What...you don't enjoy feeling like you're shopping @ K-mart?

Mon. 12/10/07 3:40pm Charles:

This is some mightily icky music.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:41pm Charles:

I second the calypso... maybe some Lord Melody?

Mon. 12/10/07 3:42pm north guinea hills:

omg, i have this talbot brothers LP

Mon. 12/10/07 3:42pm jackie:

the only thing that could have made that song tolerable is if i a slushy in my hand with a wicked case of brain freeze...

Mon. 12/10/07 3:44pm Charles:

Is Miley Cyrus related to that Billy Ray halfwit?

Mon. 12/10/07 3:45pm Wes:

It's his daughter. She makes $3.5 mil a year.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:46pm Markus:

i hate my step father

Mon. 12/10/07 3:46pm Charles:

That's worth an hour of hate.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:47pm Math Hater:

I hate the math question and I hate Billy Ray Cirus but I love you irwin! Welcome back!

Mon. 12/10/07 3:48pm jackie:

only if i can hate my father-inlaw

Mon. 12/10/07 3:48pm Charles:

Yes. Love Irwin, Hate Miley!

Mon. 12/10/07 3:48pm Parq:

It's worth noting at this point that Imogene Coca is one great lady. Just sayin'.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:48pm sabrina:

irwin--you have no special holiday plans?? i find that hard to believe,,

Mon. 12/10/07 3:49pm Wes:

Hannah Montana Super Fantastic Holiday Special on TiVo if I had to wager....

Mon. 12/10/07 3:49pm Charles:

Imogen Coca and Scott Walker are fantastic, IMO.

Mon. 12/10/07 3:51pm zoe:

i don't hate: miley, scott walker, irwin.

i do hate: this weather

Mon. 12/10/07 3:51pm Tom Tom:

i've got a crush on petra haden

Mon. 12/10/07 3:54pm north guinea hills:

that cracked me up, wes

Mon. 12/10/07 3:56pm Charles:

quite a take on Joy Division's "Transmission", here

Mon. 12/10/07 4:00pm Ike:

Charles, have you heard Low's cover of "Transmission"?

I'm with Sadie, Tom, NGH and SM on Scott Walker. "Smells like old spice in here"... BWAH! I'll take Miley Cyrus over Scott Walker any day. OK, that's sort of like saying "I'll take asparagus in gelatin over brussel sprouts in gelatin any day" but still....

Great show!

Mon. 12/10/07 4:01pm north guinea hills:

i love low's cover of transmission

Mon. 12/10/07 4:02pm Charles:

@Ike: haven't heard it, but I'll be looking for it.
I like Scott Walker for all the wrong reasons, it's almost irritainment for me.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:02pm Parq:

I'm with you, Charles. Christopher Lloyd sings Joy Division, yeah? Moving on, this Soul Coughing track sports one of my favorite grooves of all time.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:03pm Kelly from Chicago:

galaxie 500's cover of ceremony is amazing!

Mon. 12/10/07 4:04pm Listener Dave:

In a weird concidence, I happend to be reading Mike Doughty's blog right before the Soul Coughing song started. Creepy.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:04pm sadie:

what ever happened to these guys?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:05pm Charles:

@Kelly: I saw them perform it at the Riviera years ago and it was fantastic

Mon. 12/10/07 4:05pm Catarrh:

They discovered soothing Hall's mentholyptus.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:06pm north guinea hills:

there's something about this song i can identify w/... (soul coughing)

Mon. 12/10/07 4:06pm Charles:

@sadie: They broke up in '91, and now there's Damon n' Naomi.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:08pm Charles:

The drum track on that track was pretty compelling. It's the clipping.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:10pm Charles:

"Shadow-Staffer" really gives Irwin's status some drama.

Legend of Irwin: Shadow-Staffer

Mon. 12/10/07 4:13pm googlemonkey:

Shadow or Shadowy?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:15pm Charles:

He called himself a "Shadow Staffer" a moment ago.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:18pm Charles:

"Shadowy Staffer from a Shadowy Planet"?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:18pm Charles:

Anyway, it's good to hear Irwin again.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:21pm Lewis:

aahh, Jeremy Wallace - another "heard him first on WFMU" gem. Although, I have always found the connection with Irwin intriguing - wouldn't have been my first guess of DJ to play him. comments?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:21pm Wes:

Man, this band was so much better before the goat showed up to sing vocals...and, this show has turned remarkably better since Billy Ray was crushed in the court of popular opinion.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:28pm Wes:

Are you sure you want STOCKHAUSEN and not MOTORHEAD?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:28pm Doug:

Motorhausen

Mon. 12/10/07 4:29pm harriet:

i love fankie balck, he's so yummy, and doesn't smell like old spice

Mon. 12/10/07 4:29pm Parq:

I saw the Pixies back in the day, and even bought the album with the monkey on the cover, and *still* have been trying for two decades to understand what the big deal is.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:29pm Hunker Bill:

Motorhausen and Walkhead

Mon. 12/10/07 4:30pm Kelly from Chicago:

i hear ya' harriet, mmmm

Mon. 12/10/07 4:31pm Charles:

Yeah, I haven't figured the whole "Pixies hype" thing, either. Galaxie 500 was much better, IMO.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:34pm Listener Dave:

I'm with you Parq. I saw the Pixies and Happy Mondays at some godawful club on Long Island (long story, my now-wife and I got dragged along with another couple who had free tickets) and Happy Mondays were flat out terrible and the Pixies were loud and boring.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:35pm north guinea hills:

i'm actually going to dissent on this one, i actually like pixies, which i find odd. but honestly, i probably only voluntarily listen to them once every 9 months

Mon. 12/10/07 4:36pm Listener Dave:

Oh yeah, and I think Galaxie 500 were a lot better too. Saw them a few times way back when. Absolutely hypnotic.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:36pm Charles:

Even the Happy Mondays wonder how they got so big back in the day.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:36pm Nelson:

am i really listening to wfmu? what is going on?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:38pm Nelson:

all my friends say stop this dreadful song!

Mon. 12/10/07 4:38pm please god:

MAKE IT STOP!

Mon. 12/10/07 4:38pm Charles:

That... was a segue from Hell

Mon. 12/10/07 4:39pm Charles:

and I love it still

Mon. 12/10/07 4:39pm north guinea hills:

i dug the luke bryan (the redneck in me must like it).... and what a segue......

Mon. 12/10/07 4:41pm Ike:

Yeah, he's definitely baiting us.

Yeah Charles, that segue was beyond incredibly bizarre. Yet it worked.

And I'm with NGH on the Pixies. They could kick Aerosmith's arse all up and down the streets of Boston anyway. IMO.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:42pm Nelson:

feed me lots of drugs. . . . i cant handle the irony anymore

Mon. 12/10/07 4:43pm harriet:

what ya lookin' for, maybe some earplugs ?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:44pm Charles:

And now on to Raymond Scott! I wonder what will happen next.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:46pm Nelson:

I'll take some Raymond Scott

Mon. 12/10/07 4:47pm Nelson:

Just not Scott Walker

Mon. 12/10/07 4:47pm Charles:

I stand corrected, it's only Scottish

Mon. 12/10/07 4:47pm ?:

that last piece "scott" was amazing.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:49pm Charles:

Pixie-schmixie

Mon. 12/10/07 4:51pm michael:

zeppelin rocks harder than aerosmith

Mon. 12/10/07 4:52pm Ted:

Praise the lord!

Mon. 12/10/07 4:52pm Charles:

Ooh! Thanks for playing this earwax-melter. This kid rocks harder than aerosmith, zeppelin, and oasis!

Mon. 12/10/07 4:53pm Listener Dave:

Rod and Todd Flanders have nothing on this kid.

Mon. 12/10/07 4:53pm Charles:

Is this a young Tammy Fae?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:54pm michael:

isn't this huckabee's theme song!?

Mon. 12/10/07 4:54pm north guinea hills:

looks like we need a cardiologist (the asiaticos)

Mon. 12/10/07 4:55pm Ted:

Tammy Fae Rocked!

Mon. 12/10/07 4:55pm Charles:

maybe an optometrist, too

Mon. 12/10/07 4:59pm Parq:

That's it, I'm calling the next CD "Maybe An Optometrist, Too".

Mon. 12/10/07 5:03pm Listener Mike:

maybe something old and scratchy

Mon. 12/10/07 5:14pm north guinea hills:

we should start talking about our dreams to irwin, he would just love that! (evil laugh)

Mon. 12/10/07 5:30pm Charles:

This is pretty nice (I Hate Camera). Sweet synth textures!

Mon. 12/10/07 5:32pm north guinea hills:

ok, see y'all next time. thanks for the tunes, irwin.

Mon. 12/10/07 5:34pm dead dead dead:

fukn genius

Mon. 12/10/07 5:56pm ~L:

Hi Irwin,
I already have silences imposed by a tuner in need of repair, now you're just confusing me. Oh, last night at the Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show, one of the guys in Red Cross was wearing a Hannah Montana tee-shirt. I thought you'd appreciate that.

Mon. 12/10/07 5:58pm BZ:

No Playlist for Old Men

Mon. 12/10/07 5:58pm maria:

yeeeehaww

Mon. 12/10/07 5:58pm billy bob:

Mon. 12/10/07 5:58pm NOOOOOOOOOO:

DAMN YOU ALL TO HELLLLLLLL!!!!

Mon. 12/10/07 6:00pm Gregory:

thanks for the country music today. I came to appreciate it when that was the only thing on the radio all summer at work

Mon. 12/10/07 6:00pm Parq:

Many thanks for a great show, Ol' Pal I, from a fellow unabashed pop-head.

Mon. 12/10/07 6:01pm merv:

ohhh funnny I thought you were Mike Lupica and I thought shit he is sounding a lot like Irwin. ok now I get it. YOU are IRWIN

Tue. 12/11/07 2:31pm Oddkin:
