It's Irwin time! For those of us who find genre-surfing tolkienism hobbit-forming.

Uh oh, you made a joke at Maria's expense. Watch out. I fear that she will capture your soul in a Hellish cursed roll of film as payback.

No offense, Irwin.

sounds a bit like Mike Garson on the piano.

Loved that Mike Doughty track. The old Soul Coughing stuff was brilliant, and Mike's new solo stuff preserves the core of the old stuff's appeal. I heard he went through some serious shit, so its good to see him still in the game.

Perri is pals with Ken Nordine. He is alive and well.
Wed. 5/7/08 4:28pm
From:
Parq
Ol pal, Michael Shelly just interviewed Ken Nordine fairly recently. He is in his 80s and still sharp enough to riff a little spontaneous number-one-hit word-jazz on Michael's show.

Damn. I was so busy listening to the New Jersey tracks in On the Download that I completely forgot Irwin was actually on the air today. Irwin, please come back to a regular DJ slot as soon as possible. I've been trying to come up with adequate words to describe what you bring to the 'FMU worldview, but am just throwing up my hands and saying "I miss you!"
Wed. 5/7/08 4:42pm
From:
Katya
That word might be "curmudgeonliness"
Wed. 5/7/08 4:43pm
From:
Irwin
I'll take that as a compliment, Katya dear.
Wed. 5/7/08 4:48pm
From:

Irwin is mine!! is that clear curmudgeonlinesses

Awesome! Gamelan is one of my favorite musical events in the world. I was going to say this sounds like Carl Stalling, then I saw that it actually was. Too f-ing cool!
Wed. 5/7/08 4:52pm
From:
Irwin
Raymond Scott, actually.
Wed. 5/7/08 4:52pm
From:
east-bay west-coast
OK - Raymond Scott, but almost more famous for its Carl Stalling/Bugs Bunny connotations
Wed. 5/7/08 4:53pm
From:
J
Please, it's the brilliant eccentric Raymond Scott! But Porky and Daffy danced to a lot of his tunes....
Wed. 5/7/08 5:00pm
From:
Parq
Yeah, really, attributing "Powerhouse" to Carl Stalling is something too many people already do.

Carl Stalling - the original mashup pastiche king. Him & Charles Ives.

Yes! Birthday ELO! Three cheers for Otis! And three more for IC on the Summer Schedule!

Happy B-Day, Otis. Now get back to finishing that Bran Flakes album! *cracks whip*
Irwin: Thanks for playing my RIAA mashup last time.

Back in high school, Herbie Mann's GAGAKU AND BEYOND was one of the records I loaned most often. Hay, Mr Fab! Cheers, brotha!
Wed. 5/7/08 5:22pm
From:
Mr Fab
Hey there, Katya! Yeah, I have lots of Herbie Mann records - at the used record stores they were the cheapest thing in the jazz section for some reason.

Wed. 5/7/08 5:27pm
From:
Denise in Washington, DC
Katya: yes, "curmudgeonliness" works.
Happy birthday to Otis from me as well. Irwin, can you please find a song that is whiny and bitchy and ball-bustin', all at the same time, to play in his honor?
Wed. 5/7/08 5:31pm
From:
Denise in Washington, DC
Doesn't Brad Paisley know that the word "facial" has more than one meaning?
Anyway, his description of guys' behavior sounds a lot like my ex-girlfriend.
Wed. 5/7/08 5:31pm
From:
Laurie
I don't think I'd want to date Brad Paisley.
I bet he wouldn't remove the Trucknutz from his Ford if he lived in Florida.

Nothing like a bunch of smiling monkeys in your lap
Wed. 5/7/08 5:35pm
From:

I confess I find listeing to Paisley's songs to be the male equivalent of reading "Cathy". But in fairness, the tune more than satisfied Denise's request.
Wed. 5/7/08 5:36pm
From:
Denise in Washington, DC
Irwin's on the Summer Schedule? Excellent! In the usual Wednesday spot? I can't find any info on the 'FMU site.
Parq, I have to agree with you re: the song. Re: "Cathy," have you ever seen the Spanish version that the Onion runs? Makes the strip a lot easier to stomach.
Wed. 5/7/08 5:39pm
From:
Katya
This song fits the "whiny and bitchy and ball-bustin'" and makes me feel small. So why am I working out to it?
Wed. 5/7/08 5:40pm

Glug... I don't remember "What Have You Done for Me Lately" running that long... head hurts... room spinning...
