It's Irwin G!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:10pm From: Jim

Yo Irwin. Hi!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:11pm From: Otis F (cousin to Axel F)

Dana Drake. Incorrect Music is back!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:17pm From: Sean Daily

Hiiiiiiiiiii Irwin.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:17pm From: Bruce

Irwin, you introduced me to freeform. Thanks, thanks, and thanks!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:21pm From: Parq

Hmm, this 'Trading post would go well with Billie Holiday's take of "Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do", qv.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:26pm From: Otis F

Thanks for the play of our new stuff + followed by a cut from my fav ween album the mollusk. now that's, as the kids say, omg!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:32pm From: Jim

Irwin's show is fun. He is always playing new things. Sometimes old things but I won't hold that against him too much!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:32pm From: gigantor

Soul Parasol c'est magnifique!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:34pm From: gumby

Yeah, that smell my feet, feet, feet song was pretty odrific!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:35pm From: gumby

er, odorific that should have been.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:37pm From: Otis F

I agree gigantor. soul parasol, c'est parfait musique (mon francais is pretty bad), but we can listen to more here, http://www.myspace.cn/soulparasol

Wed. 8/6/08 3:40pm From: johnc

Hello friends, when you want the authentic beST ... EVEN KIN Go to Tacoma ... home of the Sonics, the Jive and the Dag Sliggity Slag.
Let's meet up at The Swiss for some Baby Gramps or Girl Trouble...you pick the date, I'll sit and wait. Ciao!

Wed. 8/6/08 3:51pm From: gumby

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I just actually read the following sentence and have another hour and a half here at work aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!
When using the trenchless method of construction a sufficient and carefully carried out geotechnical investigation is decisive for the technical and economic success of a trenchlessly carried out sewer construction measure since the geotechnical and hydrogeological subsoil conditions decisively determines the selection of the jacking technique.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:51pm From: north guinea hills

is this the remastered "loveless"?

Wed. 8/6/08 3:53pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Gumby, there is no antidote for that crap except the one called 5pm.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:53pm From: north guinea hills

hey gumby, when i worked for nyc's dep, we were creating a 3D digital model of NYC's sewer system. i know more about sewers then i ever wanted to know....

Wed. 8/6/08 3:53pm From: Parq

If it's not too late to ask, is "Dancing in the Show" a take-off of Gayla Peavy's "Are My Ears On Straight", or is it the other way around?

Gumby, confidentiality forbids my playing one-upsmanship with you, but trust me, you are not alone.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:55pm From: Nookular

Just use a nuclear device (but a small one) to dig out yer sewerholes and don't worry about all the PC bullshit.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:56pm From: not me

Wow, I never consider geotechnical and hydrogeological subsoil conditions when deciding on my jacking technique. Never again! Thank you, and keep up the good work, at least until 5.

Wed. 8/6/08 3:57pm From: another old man

jacking technique?
at work?

Wed. 8/6/08 3:59pm From: north guinea hills

when considering jacking techniques for the considered hydrogeological subsoil, you also have to consider the soil substrate...

yaryly......

god, thanks for bringing those years of torture back to me AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGG!!!!

Wed. 8/6/08 4:03pm From: north guinea hills

i happen to have the cassette, cd, and lp version of loveless..

i've played that album at all speeds from 16.5 rpm's and 78 rpm's

mbv geek i am.....

Wed. 8/6/08 4:06pm From: gumby

Thanks for talking me down everyone. The person who wrote the article seems to have regained some form of sanity and there are smaller sentences and less repetition of ridiculous words now.

Wed. 8/6/08 4:09pm From: jon

sooooothing soooounds, I hear. Thanks Irwin.

Wed. 8/6/08 4:12pm From: Gigantor

Ooh. Herb Alpert. This should cool down Gumby and all the rest of us toiling in despair.

Wed. 8/6/08 4:14pm From: C

New Killer Star by Bowie might fit into this great set

Wed. 8/6/08 4:15pm From: gumby

Ahhhhh "decisively" bad, jazz good

Wed. 8/6/08 4:20pm From: ?

Julien Cope- Head hang Low!!!!! one of the best songs of all time!!!
no doubt....

Wed. 8/6/08 4:36pm From: oaklandish

i see you pekin, illinois. i knew you were out there somewhere.

Wed. 8/6/08 4:38pm From: kdjfdjglk

any idea where you can get a copy of that song by the view, cant find it anywhere

Wed. 8/6/08 4:38pm From: north guinea hills

carl stalling, you magnificent bastard..... awesome!

Wed. 8/6/08 4:44pm From: Sean Daily

Oh Gods, this Vagabond song is burrowing INTO MY MIND PLEASE GOD SOMEONE GET IT OOOOOOUUUUUUTTTTTT!

Wed. 8/6/08 4:45pm From: hjmaiere

I worked really hard to try to pronounce "Haruomi," and now it's just "Harry"?

Wed. 8/6/08 4:46pm From: jon

ohhhhhh never heard this version of AD... thanks Irwin

Wed. 8/6/08 5:02pm From: north guinea hills

now, this is REALLy incorrect.... i feel as if i'm in my college's campus coffee shop.....

Wed. 8/6/08 5:03pm From: Ike

I like this Garbage track. Some of my fellow Curve fans probably still believe that Garbage ripped off Curve wholesale, but I don't really hear it.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:07pm From: north guinea hills

Ike, I love me some Curve, but I could never stand shirley manson's voice (or garbage's music)

Wed. 8/6/08 5:08pm From: Sean Daily

Thanks for playing that Garbage track, Irwin. I never was able to get the name of it.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:13pm From: Otis F

Love the Caleb Sampson track.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:24pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

The Bran Flakes on the same playlist as Joan Armatrading, Herb Alpert, Ween, and Garbage! Could it be anything other than an Irwin show?

I must confess that though I was an Incorrect Music fan, I don't remember Dana Drake. Thank heavens this show will be archived, so I can catch up with what I've missed.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:27pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

And Gumby . . . I feel your pain. I live in the epicenter of preposterous obfuscatory jargon. I even write in it myself without even knowing.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:28pm From: Jim

I never got into those last two.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:31pm From: Otis F

What a great Kevin Ayers track - Something new worth hearing!

Wed. 8/6/08 5:33pm From: Jim

Play something new.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:34pm From: Mike in S. California

Another studio audience show for SSD? Nooooooo...... I love SSD but those shows seem more like they're for the people in the room and not the listener.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:38pm From: Otis F

God (literally), I haven't heard Niagara Falls since Incorrect Music. I would hire Dana to play my birthday party.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:39pm From: Sean Daily

"Niagara Falls" like an advertising spot from the Niagara Falls Tourism Board for program breaks during the 700 Club.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:40pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Oh, *this* is Dana Drake. (I was thinking he was a woman.)
I need to own his Compleat Works.

Sean, I can see somebody tap-dancing to the song during that program break.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:43pm From: Sean Daily

I can see that, too, Denise. Not my cup of tea, though.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:45pm From: Jim

Eh.

Wed. 8/6/08 5:48pm From: melty

such a nice version of read it in books there.. embarrassed to say that i don't know who wrote it? there was another band who performed it who also had a song title with the word camera in it..whoops this probably isn't making much sense!

Wed. 8/6/08 5:51pm From: Peter K.

Jackie McLean, Cannonball Adderley ... Irwin, are you by any chance on a post-bop alto saxophone kick these days?

Wed. 8/6/08 5:54pm From: Irwin

Peter, you may be onto something. Evolving beyond trumpets (Clifford, Lee, Miles).

Wed. 8/6/08 5:54pm From: Sean Daily

I love the guitars on "Failsafe". Does anyone know what kind of effect they're using?

Wed. 8/6/08 5:58pm From: melt

oh- for anyone wondering..i just found the band's name- "the teardrop explodes"; was written by e&tb. for anyone not wondering...sorry

Wed. 8/6/08 5:59pm From: Peter K.

No, Irwin, you don't evolve beyond trumpets; you need the trumpets AND the saxophones. But that Cannonball track sure is a killer, isn't it?

Wed. 8/6/08 6:00pm From: Parq

Yet another sublime show.

Sat. 8/9/08 2:43am From: Chris M.

Irwin, superb. Thank you a thousand times in particular for "In a Strange Land" and the Clinic song.

And you're quite right - I cannot find anything about "The View" on wikipedia. This may have to change ;)

Sat. 8/9/08 2:46am From: Chris M.

Oh, and I should add, I absolutely adore Stranger in a Strange Land, the sci-fi novel by Heinlein. I wonder to what extent Heinlein influenced The View...

Wed. 8/13/08 7:32pm From: Jay S

Love the enhanced show opening!
