First comment!

oow ooh, child, things are gonna get easier..

Wed. 11/19/08 3:09pm From: Cecile

I think any Beatles song is improved by Singing Dogs. There I said that.
Except for maybe Hey Bulldog, which is about dogs. And I love.

What stipulations must be observed with regards to posting comments this week?

Wed. 11/19/08 3:11pm From: Cecile

And I cannot listen to Magical Mystery Tour without twitching as it was one of four eight tracks on the overnight shift at the Big Boy I worked at in 1979. The other three were Blind Faith, ELO's Eldorado, and New England's self titled release.

I cannot hear any MMT song without burning fat caressing my nostrils. We had to clean out the chicken fryer on our shift.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:12pm From: Joe

They all must be Beatles lyrics, or anagrams of Beatles lyrics.

Last comment, whoo hoo!

Wed. 11/19/08 3:13pm From: Graeme

I worked in an HMV shop in the UK that would only play Tina Turner and Jive Bunny on rotation

oh this poor kid.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:13pm From: Cecile

now those of us who missed it, what happened this AM? Is that OK to ask?

Wed. 11/19/08 3:14pm From: Bad Ronald

Anyone know why Ken killed the comments?

Wed. 11/19/08 3:15pm From: Graeme

If this was slower it would be a great Smog track

Wed. 11/19/08 3:16pm From: Parq

Any Billy Joel song in any form is painful, but all was forgiven when I saw CaMp CoMbo lined up for the next slot.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:16pm From: gumby

Irwin thank you for making me feel like the greatest parent alive, because I do not do to my kids what Mr. & Mrs. Byas did.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:17pm From: Cecile

hey, can we get a little 3rd Man Theme here? I'm in the mood for zithers suddenly.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:19pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I love Don Brockway's description of Judson Fountain as "the Ed Wood Jr. of Radio."

Wed. 11/19/08 3:21pm From: Oatman

Always love to hear the amazing Fay Lovsky.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:28pm From: Oatman

While I'm not a completist, I think it's imperative I buy every album by Scala in the near future.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:32pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Maybe we can get whoever designed the logo for "A Day Without Gays" to do a logo for "A Day Without Billy Joel." The event clearly needs branding.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:35pm From: Ike

Cecile and BR, I am wondering that too. I was doing actual work for a few minutes and then suddenly POOF.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:36pm From: Bad Ronald

I think there were too many trolls.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:38pm From: Cecile

Ike, I came in to no comments, and usually Ken's show has one of the busiest ones of the week. I figured something happened like Bad Ron said.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:39pm From: AnAnonymousParty

"So easy, even Billy Joel can do it".

Wed. 11/19/08 3:43pm From: Joe

I started spamming for tallmingle.com.


Sorry guys.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:47pm From: Cecile

wow, this joan marie polo is kind of wild.
what's the history behind this?

Wed. 11/19/08 3:52pm From: Cecile

she has a myspace page, but it's blocked to me...

nothing else, though.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:52pm From: Oatmanmanman

Joan Marie Polo (JMP) is a project that began in 1994 with two 12 year olds from Phoenix, AZ. Those interested in examining formulas for pop music have a lot to learn from JMP as they take listeners on a journey of nostalgia, presenting skewed notions of pop music as it is understood by two pre-teens with a flair for 90's rock.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:54pm From: Cecile

helpful, I did google that before I asked Irwin.

thanks oatman.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:54pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Gotta love that site, though, helpful.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:55pm From: Cecile

I'll keep my questions to myself, thanks.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:56pm From: Irwin

Sorry, Cecile. Me meants to nice you. Can you nice me back?

Wed. 11/19/08 3:57pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

No disrespect to you meant, Cecile. I'd just never seen "letmegooglethatforyou.com" before.

Wed. 11/19/08 3:59pm From: Cecile

No, I didn't either.
Normally, I'd be laughing. I'll have to remember that one.

Sure, Irwin. I'll nice you back if you play me some of the be-bop.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:00pm From: Cecile

I'm breathing out Thai noodles, and I don't think that's the answer. Ulk.

Good Afternoon Music !

Wed. 11/19/08 4:04pm From: Ike

GP, one has to wonder: Did the math questions fail, or what?

Wed. 11/19/08 4:04pm From: Parq

I remember the Chambers Brothers' father in a radio commercial for razors, or shaving cream or something. AM radio in the 60s was kinda like that.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:06pm From: GP

I don't know but that was weird..but you could kind of see it coming..the comments kept getting more random and probably abusive + Ken was sick with the flu or something...not a good combo...we will have a mystery until next week.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:07pm From: kay

Have you seen my serene?

Wed. 11/19/08 4:08pm From: Cecile

Parq, I don't remember many 60s radio ads, but one I love is that Shadows of Knight potato chip ad on I think Pebbles Vol. 1.

Also, the "youth and experience" campaign ad...

Wed. 11/19/08 4:09pm From: Irwin

Carefill. Sumtimes Ken has a tuf.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:09pm From: kay

Hi, room!

Wed. 11/19/08 4:11pm From: bzul

I realized the other night that I still remember the whole Essem franks jingle. Why is that? Guy with the guitar...regional NE thing?

Wed. 11/19/08 4:11pm From: GP

Thanks Irwin for the Bobby Bare.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Holy crap. Despite its status as a cultural touchstone, I don't think I've ever actually *heard* "Dropkick Me, Jesus" before.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm From: gumby

WWJDK - what would Jesus drop kick?

Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm From: Swami

That was not me. Breathe as you wish. Just don't stop.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm From: Cecile

gumby, Jesus would take the onside kick

Wed. 11/19/08 4:13pm From: Cecile

at least my Jesus would. He's a risk taker.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:14pm From: GP

Gumby..LOL *snort* Comment of the day to you oh bendy green one.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:14pm From: Neil in East London, UK

Excellent to hear both The Chambers Brothers & our very own The Clientele

Wed. 11/19/08 4:14pm From: bzul

I heard the song too too much many and too loud from too much many drunk Iowans many years ago.

thank you Irwin.
I will put hat on the list of places i must visit when I finally make it to NYC.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:34pm From: Now there is a voice for a newspaper

I think Jandek is Harrys son....Harry's music is awesome, but OY that voice.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:39pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Harry Partch? I was actually doing work, and stopped to listen because I thought it was Judson Fountain.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:47pm From: GP

Interesting? Got this by misspelling Partch on the Goog:
Harry Patch, at 110 is Britain's last surviving veteran of the First World War trenches.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:47pm From: rebeccaschmoyer

Thanks for playing the Partch! I'm playing this Sunday in the Partch ensemble this Sunday. You're awesome.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:49pm From: Bad Ronald

Irwin is so nice he farts butterflys.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:50pm From: GP

Bad Ronald....Harry Patch might be a good band name. I'm just sayin.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:51pm From: Bad Ronald

yeah, like Harry Patch and the Straight-Razors.

More info on Sunday and an upcoming Partch ensemble concert in December can be located at Dean Drummond's website
www.deandrummond.com

band name? you mean like Henry Cowell

Wed. 11/19/08 4:53pm From: Cecile

Nice thought, Denise: "Harry Partch is the Judson Fountain of microtonal outsider composers". Or is Judson Fountain the "Harry Partch of drammer"?

Wed. 11/19/08 4:53pm From: Bad Ronald

I like Jesus Christ and the Cruel Nails.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:54pm From: RSTVMO

Yes, Henry Cowl. The Parqs. Insect Trust. You know, The Big Three.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:55pm From: Bad Ronald

The Parqs - "Get Parqed"!

Wed. 11/19/08 4:56pm From: Bad Ronald

this Peas tune matches my smoking jacket.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:57pm From: Parq

Oh man, OPI, I had forgotten all about Three Peas in a Podd. Boy does that just take ya back!

Wed. 11/19/08 4:57pm From: AnAnonymousParty

The rest of the band is holding the trumpet player back.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:57pm From: GP

I'm out of here until tomorrow.

Wed. 11/19/08 4:59pm From: AnAnonymousParty

The singer also seems to be using a 43 note octave.

Wed. 11/19/08 5:00pm From: bzul

Was it JC and the Bent Nails while he was still workin' in pop's small town shop?

And The Pahqs? I sawr 'em in the Boston Gahden, where the Celtics play on that Pahquet flooah.

Isn't WFMU near Asbury Parq?

Wed. 11/19/08 5:09pm From: bzul

I think it's on the Parq Side of the Moon.

Wed. 11/19/08 5:12pm From: Joe

It's not news: It's Parq.

Wed. 11/19/08 5:12pm From: Bad Ronald

"Electric Parqenstein"

Wed. 11/19/08 5:19pm From: Not Parq, no really

Ah, the Mitch Mitchell set. Maybe he'll play "Parqsis Bold as Love".

Wed. 11/19/08 5:20pm From: AnAnonymousParty

If parq wa qrap.

Wed. 11/19/08 5:37pm From: jan

swell hearing Jimmy. Heard a sample of Jimmy a few weeks ago and dug
out my Expeience LPs for a listen. Then Mitch dies.

Wed. 11/19/08 5:43pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I was shutting down my computer to leave the office, but when I saw Irwin was playing the Ms and the Ps, I had to bring the stream up again.
