Perfect song for anytime but especially October sunshine!

Mon. 10/20/08 3:17pm Mark Fisher:

Thanks for the Joni.

Mon. 10/20/08 3:23pm Parq:

Irene, I lived in Boston in the mid-70s when, for a while, there was a real flowering of folk on the radio. Your show today is taking me back like a fast train. Keep up the great work.

Mon. 10/20/08 3:31pm ranjit:

The orange-and-green color scheme for this page is my favorite color combo! (Music's nice too...)

Mon. 10/20/08 3:33pm GP:

Cool to hear the original of this song..I really like her voice.

Mon. 10/20/08 3:34pm hugh:

happy beautiful autumn, Irene!
the first '45 I ever bought was The Sons of the Pioneers singing "Cool Water". Where did they all disappear to?

Mon. 10/20/08 3:41pm Cecile:

The first one I bought was "Old Fashioned Love Song" by Three Dog Night.

Mon. 10/20/08 3:44pm Bad Ronald:

Grand Funk Railroad "Locomotion"

Mon. 10/20/08 3:45pm listening john:

Mon. 10/20/08 3:46pm Steve Gugel:

You're KILLING ME Irene - DON'T STOP!!! I love your selections - I haven't heard many of these in forever. I'm flashing back to much happier times.

Mon. 10/20/08 3:46pm GP:

Stevie Wonder "Sir Duke"

Mon. 10/20/08 3:47pm paulinbrighton:

Irene, you scratchy hurdy gurdy girl, you.

Mon. 10/20/08 3:48pm Bad Ronald:

Love the McCartney Lennon dis...

Mon. 10/20/08 3:48pm Parq:

Talk about evocative -- weren't these (second set) all summer songs?

Mon. 10/20/08 3:49pm listening john:

box tops neon rainbow

Mon. 10/20/08 3:50pm listening john:

irene - "freuently live" - spelling mistake?

Mon. 10/20/08 3:51pm Andy:

ex-Wallkill WFMU listener listening from his home in Wales UK. Nice Paul choice Irene. . .

Mon. 10/20/08 3:54pm Cecile:

you win, listening john. ;)

Mon. 10/20/08 3:59pm Joe:

So far, you show is exactly replicating the satellite radio channel my old alcoholic boss used to play when I worked the KeyFood deli night shift.

That is to say, you're replicating super awesome dopeness. Please, continue.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:05pm Joe:

also, newsflash: Dee Dee Warwick has passed away.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:07pm listening john:

also i heard Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite has passed away

Mon. 10/20/08 4:08pm listener:

not to mention rudy ray moore...

Mon. 10/20/08 4:12pm Cecile:

I always wanted to answer my work phone:
"Hello, Dolemite's Total Experience".

Mon. 10/20/08 4:16pm GP:

Slow dancing barefoot on the club floor, smoking still allowed indoors, a spilled drink, the patio doors open to the summer evening, cicadas and fireflies outside, candle lanterns lit on the patio, Her hair is down..a slow kiss.....that is what this show sounds like.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:17pm jeanine:

I was gonna say that this show sounds like WCBS-FM only ten times better.. but that's a better description.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:18pm Tvox:

You've got me falling in and out of sleep in the easy chair by the fire, metaphorically speaking. Audio hot cocoa. Yum. It's all about the midrange, warm bass, and muted high tones. Analog oil painting on the air waves.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:19pm paulinbrighton:

mmm, yes, very nice'ncosytoesy, Irene.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:20pm listening john:

it's all about post-coital cuddling next to the fireplace

Mon. 10/20/08 4:21pm Cecile:

ZOMG. I have Music out of the Moon - but I have it on a 10" record...

Mon. 10/20/08 4:25pm Joe:

Aww man... RIP Disco Godfather. Man, did he ever hate PCP.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:29pm Steve:

I've always cherished this one

Mon. 10/20/08 4:35pm Cecile:

Irene, were you ever into the Guess Who? Because you have played two of my favorite reliable hitmaker 60s bands already (association and Tommy James and the Shondells), and some of their more offbeat things might fit in...

Mon. 10/20/08 4:36pm Parq:

"Walk Away Renee" was doubly welcome, both on its on and as an oblique RIP to Levi Stubbs (the 4Ts covered "Renee").

Mon. 10/20/08 4:40pm Cecile:

thank you for playing this version - it's better than the Irish Steve and Stan Chevy Cooley version.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:41pm GP:

OK, Now this is the backseat Camaro stuff.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:47pm Pristine Angie:

I love your quiet piano interludes! They reveal an interior to the Autumn afternoons.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:50pm Joe:

YES YES YES. AWESOME.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:50pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

yeah, I love scratchy Moody Blues records!!

Mon. 10/20/08 4:53pm GP:

A resinous smell permeates the air. Smoke clouds billow. Eight track skips. Van will not start again.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:54pm listening john:

irene's show is causing eargasm in her listeners

Mon. 10/20/08 4:54pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

Mon. 10/20/08 4:57pm listening john:

Mon. 10/20/08 4:58pm Joe:

I've always wondererd about that too, DCE. Whose kid was he? Who is Clapton singing to?

I blame George.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:58pm Swami:

Cocteau Twins shows were very much like a ceremonial atmosphere. Great set Irene.

Mon. 10/20/08 4:58pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

Mon. 10/20/08 4:59pm GP:

GP couldn't take the heat in here

Mon. 10/20/08 5:03pm Parq:

Mon. 10/20/08 5:06pm Parq:

At the risk of over-posting, I gotta say that I've never had to turn Irene's show up so much.

Mon. 10/20/08 5:07pm SWAMI:

Wow. Squeeze. Senior year. Seriously melancholy and beautiful memories. Thank you so much!

Mon. 10/20/08 5:09pm Noel:

Mon. 10/20/08 5:15pm paulinbrighton:

and there was something nice about putting an album cover on your lap, too!

Mon. 10/20/08 5:17pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

.....When you could NOT wait to get home to play it that feling !!!!!!! NEVER had that same feeling after I purchased a CD ever !! no matter who it was !!!!

Mon. 10/20/08 5:19pm paulinbrighton:

and no space to roll up on a cd, tom

Mon. 10/20/08 5:19pm noel:

The wait between store & home made it so exciting. I live in the boondocks; I usually waited an over an hour. What a relief to finally get to that turntable.

Mon. 10/20/08 5:20pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

.... yes thinking about now all the "seeds" rolling off the album jacket while the first number was playing of the turntable ... hehe

Mon. 10/20/08 5:24pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

Mon. 10/20/08 5:32pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

Mon. 10/20/08 5:47pm Bad Ronald:

Hey Bulldog!

Mon. 10/20/08 5:52pm Sean Daily:

But I wonder if she's the one - but everyone - is talking about.

Ah, memorys, Cream's 7'', Badge, lying limp on top of the electric heater, darliesque, after a party; such beauty in death.

Mon. 10/20/08 5:58pm tim:

Irene! You play XTC from time to time, and that makes me love you.

Mon. 10/20/08 5:59pm Swami:

XTC! Didn't we chat about that last month Irene? I was wondering when you'd bust out Something from English Settlement. Bless you Irene. . .Blirene.

Mon. 10/20/08 5:59pm Bad Ronald:

English Settlement is an incredible album!

Mon. 10/20/08 6:02pm Irin:
