Yes I can...

Wed. 9/10/08 3:06pm From: Sean Daily

Second comment! Woo hoo!

Wed. 9/10/08 3:07pm From: gumby

Follow the sound around then down to let the horn love................... abound.

Wed. 9/10/08 3:08pm From: Laurie

This is for you, Irwin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcthSZ9k5hc

Namibian schoolkids singing Madonna's "Like a Prayer."

I love the accompanying text:

"I used to teach religion in rural Namibia. The plan was to create my own religion and use it to indoctrinate my students, the other teacher would do the same with her class, and our summative assessment would be a holy war on the school soccer pitch. I taught them Madonna instead."

Wed. 9/10/08 3:19pm From: Sean Daily

It was the beat, man... the beat made me do it...

Wed. 9/10/08 3:25pm From: north guinea hills

more carl stalling please!

Wed. 9/10/08 3:30pm From: AnAnonymousParty

All of a sudden I've got a craving for a Chunky.

Wed. 9/10/08 3:30pm From: gumby

Crazy Bongos!!!!!!! Whaaaaaa-HOOOOO!!!

Wed. 9/10/08 3:31pm From: Laura L

Irwin, artist Arnie Roth was just here to drop off some art for a book I'm designing (yes another one)--he personally knew Jim Flora, Steinweiss, and knows very well the music of Raymond Scott--I mentioned Raymond Scott to him in regard to explaining who you are, not knowing it is the centenary b.d.! Serendipity! He was delighted with the 2 Flora books and that a 3rd is on the way.

Wed. 9/10/08 3:31pm From: Harvey

Clinic yaaaaaaaaaay!

Wed. 9/10/08 3:31pm From: Harvey

Spoon yaaaaaaaaaay!

Wed. 9/10/08 3:32pm From: Harvey

Irwin yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Wed. 9/10/08 3:43pm From: Erwin@Irwin.com

Irwin,
Stop sending me email for Erwin.

Wed. 9/10/08 3:45pm From: Jake

Anybody near MI want to toss back a couple white russians and watch Lebowski tonight?

Wed. 9/10/08 3:47pm From: GP

A finger snappin, toe tappin, bass slappin, hip shakin, groovin afternoon to everyone.

Jake,
Please define "near"

Wed. 9/10/08 3:52pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

OH is near MI...but not Cincinnati and Mackinaw.

Wed. 9/10/08 3:52pm From: steve

Am I likely to find an mp3 of You Are My Junkie on the wfmu blog? It's so incorrect I've gotta have it.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:00pm From: Jake

Yeah, I should clarify. It's Marquette. If anybody is near this town I'll be dumbfounded. Just thought I'd pass the party along to y'all.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:03pm From: gumby

Is Marquette near the Upper Penninsula where Jim Harrison writes all those wonderful books about?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:06pm From: Jake

Oh yes. Smack dab in the middle of the wonderful UP.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:06pm From: GP

Long way from Texas, but I will raise a virtual glass to the dude. I lived in Farmington and Ann Arbor for about 2 years. Thanks for the invite.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:08pm From: GP

I used to love how everyone would instinctively raise their hand ,mitten-like , and point with the other hand when giving directions as to where places were in Michigan.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:08pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Shouldn't The Dude be properly capitalized? The spelling of 'the dude', I mean?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:10pm From: GP

10-4 on that AAP...typing too fast

Wed. 9/10/08 4:15pm From: AnAnonymousParty

AAP? Hey, I've been acronymized, I'm acrimonious!

You know, I think Rick Rondone performed in the 'Miss Kitty's Saloon' show at Six Flags in St. Louis last summer. Or at least it was a convincing simulation.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:17pm From: Swami

First he's big, then he's small. then he jumps on those blocks! Then he dances around the pretty mannequins in Power Station and then he dies autoerotically asphyxiated.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:20pm From: gumby

Swami,
Is that Robert Palmer of Zlad's "Love Rocket" that seems to suffer from confined spaces?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:21pm From: Swami

That I don't know, but I do know that he didn't mean to turn on Michael Hutchence.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:22pm From: Sean Daily

This Jaunties song makes me happy. It makes me want to sing along. It makes me want to shoot my gun.

But I don't know what it means!

Wed. 9/10/08 4:23pm From: cosmic

ooh! ow! thats better..

Wed. 9/10/08 4:24pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I'm no expert, but I believe 'Screen Test' was actually in the key of H-flat.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:29pm From: cosmic

im no expert but this sounds like jazz

Wed. 9/10/08 4:34pm From: Peter K.

The Bad Plus has performed on your show, and you didn't know what instrument Ethan Iverson plays until you looked it up? Shame, shame.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:36pm From: Irwin

I can plead senility, Peter. It's one of the privileges of senior citizenry.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:39pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

glitter and cheese sandwich

Wed. 9/10/08 4:40pm From: gumby

Wow, this is even over the top for the Carpenters. It's like the 11 of cheesey.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:42pm From: Hooty Sapperticker

Orange County in the hay-owse!

Wed. 9/10/08 4:43pm From: Nitro

No way, gumby. Clay Pigeon played a more stripped down version of this song. I think it was on his A to Z show in Dec. 2006. It was really great.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:43pm From: maria

who is the Karen Carpenter of today?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:44pm From: Lizardner Dave

Dunno....let me check the women's room at around 2pm.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:47pm From: Sean Daily

NIIIIIIICE cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows".

Wed. 9/10/08 4:48pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Cat Power is the Karen Carpenter of today.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:49pm From: maria

@dave
uh, I meant the vocal stylings not the bulimia, yo

Wed. 9/10/08 4:49pm From: Joe

<distasteful crack about eating disorders goes here>

Wed. 9/10/08 4:50pm From: cosmic

what a guy! -ive just been reading your link to mr scott.

will you be playing any more of his music tonight irwin?
was the stalling 'powerhouse' a scott thing?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:51pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Actually Jens Lekman or Sondre Lerche would be even better Karen Carpenters of today...or that guy Carpenter, what's his name?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:52pm From: Joe

John?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:53pm From: John

yes?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:53pm From: gumby

I say the Spongetech guy is the Karen Carpenter today. Because he's trying to sell you a product with the soft soap already in it.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:54pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Karen Carpenter played a mean set of drums too.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:55pm From: maria

yeah, I agree w. Irwing about =not cat power. It is a more difficult question than it appears.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:55pm From: Lizardner Dave

Maria-
Oh. Never mind then.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:56pm From: GP

mmmm, Julianna Hatfield.....
Karen Carpenter was great and loved for a reason..she had talent....but dang, they sure made some cheesy sounds back then.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:56pm From: noel

Every good Sonic Youth fan should have a healthy background knowledge of The Carpenters.

Wed. 9/10/08 4:57pm From: maria

Anthony of the Johnsons?

Wed. 9/10/08 4:58pm From: GP

Bye for today...Great show Irwin

Wed. 9/10/08 5:24pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

Yay, Siouxsie!

Wed. 9/10/08 5:31pm From: COBRA

WE'RE NOT THAT FREE ANYMORE.

Wed. 9/10/08 5:32pm From: Sean Daily

Don't know how this will play here, but... here's Bloom County's take (circa 1986) on filthy cheap oil.

http://images.ucomics.com/comics/blm/1986/blm860615.gif

Wed. 9/10/08 5:32pm From: COBRA

IF WE CONTINUE ON THIS PATH, EVENTUALLY THERE WONT BE ANYMORE WFMU.

Wed. 9/10/08 5:33pm From: Irwin

Careful, Cobra. "They" monitor these forums.

Wed. 9/10/08 5:33pm From: COBRA

i wouldnt be suprised Irwin.

Wed. 9/10/08 5:35pm From: COBRA

MOSE

Wed. 9/10/08 5:45pm From: von zeke

Black Page!

Wed. 9/10/08 5:47pm From: Sean Daily

A shouting choir. Coolness.

Wed. 9/10/08 5:57pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I like the Paul Anka cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit" better. This one smells like something else.

Wed. 9/10/08 5:57pm From: Joe

This sounds disconcertingly similar to the band I played with in 7th grade.

Wed. 9/10/08 5:58pm From: Parq

The other night in a bar, I heard "Smells Like" performed by a trio of trumpet, sousaphone and snare drum. Well why the heck not?

Wed. 9/10/08 5:59pm From: Joe

Oh my god IT IS ME

Wed. 9/10/08 6:00pm From: Sean Daily

This is what "Smells Like" SHOULD have sounded like. I just wish they could play their instruments...

Wed. 9/10/08 6:00pm From: AnAnonymousParty

It just goes to show you how when something becomes a cultural icon, it transcends the needs for traditional instrumentation.

Fri. 9/12/08 5:22pm From: steve

Is that mostly Keith Jarrett on the Rip Rig & Panic track?

Fri. 9/12/08 9:20pm From: Gail

A friend of mine in Los Angeles was recording with an engineer who worked with Karen. They bonded over his memories of Karen. He loved her. She would come to work with a big bag of knitting and just keep a low profile until she was "released". He told my friend that Karen was such a natural that each time she opened her mouth the same quality sound would come through.

In a parallel universe, Karen left L.A. and lived.
