Playlist for Irene Trudel - November 3, 2008

Mondays 3pm - 6pm on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

Music floating on calmer seas is "netted" by my ears and released to the hungry listeners. It's a stringy catch, but frequently live and always delectable.

Mon. 11/3/08 3:17pm From: Richard - New Zealand

Good luck USA...from New Zealand. We have our general election this weekend...but has been overshadowed by your own! (Parties and Prime Ministers in NZ... the English system...not Presidents)

BTW ...loving the Carla Bley...I'm an Annette Peacock fan...quite an extended family that...haven't heard this before.

Mon. 11/3/08 3:19pm From: stingy d

richard makes an excellent point... it's time for some annette peacock

Mon. 11/3/08 3:22pm From: grubbus

the old man still gots it

Mon. 11/3/08 3:38pm From: Pyramid Theme

Mandatory play next, anything by
Sam the sham and the pharaohs, followed by
Steve Martin, "King Tut"
And the Bangles "walk like an Egyptian"

Mon. 11/3/08 3:40pm From: stingy d

please no king tut

Mon. 11/3/08 3:41pm From: GP

Just saw this headline...Did I tell you how much I love this country:

Nudist group wants clothing-optional polling site

Mon. 11/3/08 3:42pm From: fishmonkeystew

Ever see the Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping choir movie? Excellent and enlightening.

Mon. 11/3/08 3:43pm From: Bad Ronald

Love this Costello tune!!

Mon. 11/3/08 3:45pm From: Bad Ronald

Kinda hits the same chord as "Shipbuilding"...

Mon. 11/3/08 3:45pm From: Parq

You beat me to it, Ron. IMO, "Spike" was his last must-have album.

Mon. 11/3/08 3:46pm From: Bad Ronald

You no like Brutal Youth?

Mon. 11/3/08 3:48pm From: Parq

"Like", yeah. Essential? Not by me, but what do I know?

Mon. 11/3/08 3:49pm From: Bad Ronald

Understood... I'm still looking for BY on vinyl...

Mon. 11/3/08 3:51pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Mon. 11/3/08 3:51pm From: GP

W O W....nice guitar work here

Mon. 11/3/08 3:53pm From: Plinky

Mon. 11/3/08 3:56pm From: Swami

It's my birthday. Carry on.

Mon. 11/3/08 3:57pm From: Plinky

i love that scene in the Wanderers when this plays

Mon. 11/3/08 3:58pm From: GP

I just looked it up and on guitar is Bryan Sutton who I am not familiar with, what really surprised me is that Elvis Costello also appears a Friend on that Charlie Haden album...this looks like one to get.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:01pm From: GP

Swami,
Birthday greetings to you!

Mon. 11/3/08 4:05pm From: JB

Woooo! Michael Hearst!

Mon. 11/3/08 4:06pm From: Peter K.

My, aren't we political today? (And isn't Terre Roche's "Star Spangled Banner" the greatest?)

Mon. 11/3/08 4:14pm From: Cecile

I want to hear a song about Sarah Palin's kid and her Louis Vuitton purse

Mon. 11/3/08 4:15pm From: G. E. Schwartz

The Palin Prank....set it to tune!

Mon. 11/3/08 4:26pm From: Webhamster Henry

Your project is very like Ice Cream Headache... which didn't come off. But some nice Ice Cream songs were written by me and others!

Mon. 11/3/08 4:29pm From: stingy d

i reccomend "don mattingly" by dan deacon for ice cream song fans

Mon. 11/3/08 4:30pm From: Doug in DC

I found a Mr. Softee graveyard in Richmond, VA once. A whole fenced-off parking lot full of rusted-out ice cream trucks.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:33pm From: Cecile

Please contact the Ice Cream trucks in Minneapolis.

The only thing they ever play is "Turkey in the Straw"

Mon. 11/3/08 4:33pm From: stingy d

we are the monsters of the original mr softee ice cream trucks!

Mon. 11/3/08 4:35pm From: Webhamster Henry

Here's an NPR story with some of Ice Cream Headache's Songs:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9945901

The Gamelany "Mr. Softy" by Nina Katchadourian should be someone's bed music!

Mon. 11/3/08 4:35pm From: stingy d

your exaggeration perpetration levels are at exaggerating full speed
why must i answer to you evil monsters?

Mon. 11/3/08 4:38pm From: Cecile

We commenters just mainly deal in obscure weirdness, in-jokes, and shout-outs to absent members.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:39pm From: Sean Daily

Or we just go "Woo hoo!" and otherwise make nuisances of ourselves.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:41pm From: Plinky

this dude plays really short songs. or are they more sketches.. ditties?

Mon. 11/3/08 4:41pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Some of these songs could be haikus with a little planning.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:44pm From: stingy d

YO not for nothin
i like this song immensely
and everything

Mon. 11/3/08 4:46pm From: paulthepostman

AAP, yeah, japanese poems of seventeen syllabubs!

Mon. 11/3/08 4:47pm From: Cecile

Pass me a syllabub, extra grog please.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:48pm From: Swami

Thanks GP. Late. Busy work day.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:49pm From: paulthepostman

what is this 'grog', cecile?

Mon. 11/3/08 4:49pm From: Cecile

happy anniversary of your natal day, swami.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:50pm From: Cecile

"hooch" "liquor" "Estonian marching nectar"
It, and egg white make up a good syllabub.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:51pm From: Cecile

shoe repair guys rule!
Mine are nice.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:56pm From: Sean Daily

Grog is anything that makes a pirate go "Arrrr!" Of course, gold, women, a cat, underwear, rain, oxygen and other pirates also make pirates go "Arrrr!", so by that definition...

Mon. 11/3/08 4:56pm From: GP

Chupacabra song is now my favorite

Mon. 11/3/08 4:57pm From: Sean Daily

They're guerilla gorillas. Rim shot.

Mon. 11/3/08 4:57pm From: Cecile

not to mention barabcoa, parrots, potable water and shore leave....

Mon. 11/3/08 4:58pm From: stingy d

my sources tell me that obama's grandmother just died

Mon. 11/3/08 4:58pm From: Cecile

I'm sorry to hear that.

Does Michael have a song about Knut the Polar Bear?

Mon. 11/3/08 5:00pm From: stingy d

knut makes me happy!

mccain's grandmother is gonna rise from the dead in a classic show of one-upmanship

Mon. 11/3/08 5:02pm From: Sean Daily

Well, we all knew that McCain was one of the living dead, so that only makes sense, stingy.

"He is... NOSFERATU." "HE'S ITALIAN?!"

Mon. 11/3/08 5:03pm From: stingy d

john mccain has general warts

Mon. 11/3/08 5:06pm From: stingy d

Mon. 11/3/08 5:11pm From: stingy d

Mon. 11/3/08 5:12pm From: bzul

Little late to the grog barrel --

Booty and wenches without inhibitions,
Ukrainian freghters stuffed fat with munitions,
Casual-kill Fridays and big bling earrings,
These are a pirate dude's favorite things...

What's Somali for "Arrrr"?

Mon. 11/3/08 5:12pm From: stingy d

hmm, yea he stole it from obama's grandmother on her death bed.

Mon. 11/3/08 5:13pm From: stingy d
