Perfect song for anytime but especially October sunshine!

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

Thanks for the Joni.

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

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

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

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

Mon. 10/20/08 3:34pm From: 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 From: Cecile

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

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

Grand Funk Railroad "Locomotion"

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

Stevie Wonder "Sir Duke"

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

Irene, you scratchy hurdy gurdy girl, you.

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

Love the McCartney Lennon dis...

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

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

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

box tops neon rainbow

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

irene - "freuently live" - spelling mistake?

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

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

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

you win, listening john. ;)

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

also, newsflash: Dee Dee Warwick has passed away.

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

also i heard Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite has passed away

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

not to mention rudy ray moore...

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

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

Mon. 10/20/08 4:16pm From: 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 From: 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 From: 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 From: paulinbrighton

mmm, yes, very nice'ncosytoesy, Irene.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I've always cherished this one

Mon. 10/20/08 4:35pm From: 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 From: 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 From: 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 From: GP

OK, Now this is the backseat Camaro stuff.

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

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

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

YES YES YES. AWESOME.

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

yeah, I love scratchy Moody Blues records!!

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

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

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

irene's show is causing eargasm in her listeners

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mon. 10/20/08 5:01pm From: listening john

GP couldn't take the heat in here

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

Mon. 10/20/08 5:06pm From: 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 From: SWAMI

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

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

This is a great show!

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

Used to play pool in Greenwhich with these squeezy guys, their office was above the fruit market there.

Mon. 10/20/08 5:14pm From: Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network )

OH yaa Irene you said it ... love all your "scatches" and sound is not measures in digits....

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

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

Mon. 10/20/08 5:17pm From: 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 From: paulinbrighton

and no space to roll up on a cd, tom

Mon. 10/20/08 5:19pm From: 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 From: 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 From: Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network )

CHEERS Irene this number is for you !!!!! great 45 colllection !!!!

Mon. 10/20/08 5:24pm From: Bad Ronald

My tweeters are singing!!!

Mon. 10/20/08 5:29pm From: Parq

Irene, you're killin' me here! I'm gonna have to see if this thing goes to 11.

Mon. 10/20/08 5:30pm From: Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network )

The hi-end cymbals alone do seem to have more life and happiness I must say too...

Mon. 10/20/08 5:30pm From: joe

Great show. It's going to get a lot of archive play anytime there's a sunny day from now on.

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

I was told I look like Lou Chrisie...but I don't think so ....

Mon. 10/20/08 5:32pm From: Bad Ronald

Mon. 10/20/08 5:32pm From: Cecile

Mon. 10/20/08 5:33pm From: Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network )

Yes hope there is one more Indian Summer beach day left ...

Mon. 10/20/08 5:39pm From: NoNoAge

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

Hey Bulldog!

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

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 From: tim

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

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

English Settlement is an incredible album!

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

Viva vinyl!

Mon. 10/27/08 7:47am From: DunstanRamsay
