Listener comments!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:02pm From: Steve Barton

I enjoyed your show more when I WAS unemployed.

Wed. 3/4/09 3:03pm From: Glenn L

This second comment reserved for Sean Daily.

Wed. 3/4/09 3:06pm From: Sean Daily

"California Girls" sounds off.

Oh, and... first commnent after my reserved second comment and third overall comment! Woo hoo!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:07pm From: Sean Daily

Why am I not surprised that the chair is moist after Kenny G? Especially after all that talk about handsome boys...

Wed. 3/4/09 3:09pm From: Mac

Shouting out my support for Irwin, because as an early pledger i cannot call in my pledge to you today without throwing more money to you... which I do not have... Boo Hoo. Any CCC Mash-up today?

Wed. 3/4/09 3:10pm From: Pearly Sweets

Kenny G sprinkles his talent like a snail as he oozes about our planet. Each shift of his weight begots another wet chair of pure genius!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:15pm From: Parq

I heard song-poem and was expecting "A Blind Man's Penis". Showing my age, I guess.

Wed. 3/4/09 3:16pm From: DJ Keili

800 989 9368 to pledge!
Stay tuned for more tid bits of fun!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:18pm From: umourman

Letter to a Christian is a truly inspirational piece of music.

Wed. 3/4/09 3:18pm From: still b/p

I'm glad we never reached the Christian Dior.

Wed. 3/4/09 3:23pm From: umourman

If I keep playing this show at work you could be helping the employed rid themselves of a job!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:26pm From: Steve Barton

I remember her on GKS! Any kid that doesn't like Elvis raises my hackles!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:26pm From: BSI

Beastin'!
I'm still glistening with post-pledge euphoria from Freedman's show.

Did Ken ever announce a winner of the Phil Spector velvet painting?

Wed. 3/4/09 3:28pm From: Steve Barton

BSI: Winner of Velvet Spector was a listener in NC known to Ken, a Tom.

Wed. 3/4/09 3:28pm From: BSI

aah! It's the good Doctor!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:30pm From: Gigantor

Dr. F***ing Who! That's great!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:33pm From: Anhelo

eres túuuuuuuuuuuu eres túuuuuuuuuuuu

Wed. 3/4/09 3:34pm From: Parq

My Spanish-speaking relatives never understand me when I try to speak in Spanish. I'm guessing that I must sound to them like Jimmy M's "Eres Tu".

Wed. 3/4/09 3:35pm From: AnAnonymousParty

There. I did it. I'd do it again. I'm kind of tired now, but it's a good kind of tired.

Wed. 3/4/09 3:38pm From: BSI

Dang!
I've been denied the velvet spector!
There is no god!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:41pm From: north guinea hills

Parq, I'm pretty sure my Mexican gf would agree that I sound the same when attempting Spanish, me and my goofy-ass gringo accent....

Wed. 3/4/09 3:53pm From: Queen

(Goofy Ass Gringo Accent)
All we hear is lingua gaga...

Wed. 3/4/09 3:56pm From: BSI

JEEZUS!

That premium is worth it just for the J&H Productions bit alone!

De greatest DJ premium ever being gave!

Wed. 3/4/09 3:56pm From: north guinea hills

Pamelia Kurstin is a fave of mine, and she used cut my hair!

Wed. 3/4/09 4:02pm From: sugarwolf

this post is coming from INSIDE THE PHONE ROOM!!!!

Wed. 3/4/09 4:06pm From: north guinea hills

oh, and Pamelia's record on Zorn's Tzadik recs. is pretty sweet....

Wed. 3/4/09 4:12pm From: Cecile

Bryce is awesome.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:12pm From: Cecile

I love Bryce's show!

Damn, I missed Sloan.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:13pm From: north guinea hills

Bryce's show is perfect on Fridays, I'm still waiting for him to play one 3 hour piece for one of his shows.....

Wed. 3/4/09 4:17pm From: Parq

Take a look at the pic of Bryce in his "bug" costume from the '07 Hoof 'n Mouth finale, which you'll find as a part of the "adoptee" gallery. 'Nuff said.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wfmu/3277839000/

And, I note, he's still adoptable!

Wed. 3/4/09 4:23pm From: BSI

I attempted to adopt Bryce a few hours ago, with my orgy of pledge goodness. That psychotic bug should be off the market goddammit!

Wed. 3/4/09 4:25pm From: north guinea hills

I don't think I've liked anything from Sloan since 1998's "Navy Blues"

Wed. 3/4/09 4:25pm From: Cecile

Sloan are the FOTC of the Canadian Rock scene in terms of great second hand clothes , cute accents (oh, that "oot") and general mindblowing hotness. Or are FOTC the Sloan of musical comedy?

Wed. 3/4/09 4:26pm From: Cecile

ngh, I think they've been a little inconsistent, but NOTHING?

Wed. 3/4/09 4:27pm From: Sean Daily

I DISPUTE JOHN PEEL'S IMPORTANCE! SO THERE!

Wed. 3/4/09 4:29pm From: still b/p

You mean DJ John Peel?

Wed. 3/4/09 4:30pm From: Parq

All right, we're all on notice, Bryce is taken even if the Flicker page has not yet been updated to say so. No pleading ignorance, gang.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:30pm From: Cecile

DJ MC John Peel.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:31pm From: still b/p

So, anyways, DJ Keyser Soze was cutting my head off the other day, and...

Wed. 3/4/09 4:33pm From: Cecile

Is Bryce a lady man lady bug?

Wed. 3/4/09 4:33pm From: Cecile

I mean, DJ Bryce.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:34pm From: Carmichael

Good day, Irwin and all.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:34pm From: Cecile

and he is cute as a bug! And CUTE as a BUG.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:35pm From: Cecile

Hi, Carm.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:35pm From: BSI

egad. I expect Irwin's premium is a thing of crucial beauty...

Wed. 3/4/09 4:35pm From: Sean Daily

Absolute Albert is perfectly normal? Poor guy...

Wed. 3/4/09 4:36pm From: still b/p

The Monster Mash meets Spike Jones meets Devo.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:37pm From: Cecile

yes, b/p and I feel a little Daevid Allen and NY Gong in there - a la Punk Rock City.

Which DJ Ken Freedman used to start his show with back in the WCBN daze...

Wed. 3/4/09 4:39pm From: still b/p

Hum it for me...

Wed. 3/4/09 4:41pm From: Carmichael

I have about 20 minutes to peruse the comments, lament over the playlist I missed, and post something constructive.

Nothin' so far, except I missed Wildman Fischer, dammit.

Irwin, are you able to dig up some Gary Usher surf stuff for a recent pledger? If it's any consolation, I turned 2 friends on to the "Off the Charts" documentary. They're now big Rodd Keith fans.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:41pm From: Cecile

"Hello? Hello! Hello? Hello!"
that's how that one started.

And the chorus was "let's go to punk rock city..."

Wed. 3/4/09 4:42pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Chusid plays Manilow? I'm shuddering at the idea -- haven't yet figured out whether from extreme horror, extreme pleasure, or both. Or neither.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:43pm From: Carmichael

I don't seem to have the patience for Daevid Allen. Or Dagmar Krausse, for that matter.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:49pm From: umourman

aw yeah

Wed. 3/4/09 4:50pm From: Parq

I dunno why, but I like the bird calls on Trouble's show better. Or as she says, DJ Trouble.

And as I've said before, this big-beat country is just fine with me.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:51pm From: BSI

any bird that actually picks up lines from that CD will become a pagan god. ....hell, I'd pray to it.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:55pm From: BSI

or actually, I'd love a parrot that chants
"no, I'm Richard Kostelanetz..."

Wed. 3/4/09 4:55pm From: ?

PLEASE

Wed. 3/4/09 4:55pm From: frenchee

Thanks for all the shirts, IC! Shadow plaid rules.

Wed. 3/4/09 4:55pm From: Cecile

Or "I'm King Kamanawanahea and you're the Royal Macadamia Nuts"

Wed. 3/4/09 4:56pm From: Carmichael

Or, "My name is Laaaaaarry ...."

Wed. 3/4/09 4:58pm From: Cecile

Or "Oh God, Please send me a kid! I could buy it a donut every day!"

here's another one:
"KENNY! Get off the mic!"

Wed. 3/4/09 4:59pm From: Cecile

Ferrante and Teicher! The twin pianos of EZ listening...

Wed. 3/4/09 5:01pm From: patrick

the more this goes on the more it grows on me. kind of like WFMU in general.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:01pm From: Sean Daily

Or "Please God, help me! This crazy bitch turned me into a parrot!"

Wed. 3/4/09 5:03pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I am totally tickled that the lovely volunteer with whom I just spoke recognized my name from the comments board of the late, lamented Incorrect Music! Thanks, Zoe!

Wed. 3/4/09 5:03pm From: Glenn L

Yay! I love J & H productions!
Or things pertaining to J & H productions.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:04pm From: Parq

We had a budgie once that learned to shriek our daughter's name in the same exasperated tone that it always heard us using.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:04pm From: BSI

J&H Productions is an immortal classic.
haven't heard this in ages.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:05pm From: Jimmy Safechuck

Good news for J&H Productions:

http://tinyurl.com/btrfrl

Wed. 3/4/09 5:06pm From: AnAnonymousParty

My grandparents had a parrot who, for no matter how much they tried, refused to learn any phrase they tried to teach it but would instead suddenly start repeating three or four words out of some random sentence it heard in passing, things like "I'm on the phone", or "he went home" and "so was Ted" and would always throw them out when they least made sense.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:08pm From: BSI

and for the true completist...

Wed. 3/4/09 5:08pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Oh my gawd.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:09pm From: Glenn L

I love links pertaining to J&H productions!

Wed. 3/4/09 5:12pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I may never eat jerked pork again.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:12pm From: Leon Trotsky

Yankee man, my advice is don't take Sparrow's bet.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:13pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I'd like to thank the Academy . . .

Seriously, thanks for the parakeet compilation. I'm particularly tickled that Irwin immediately knew that I'd like it.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:16pm From: Cecile

that onion article is awesome.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:17pm From: Sean Daily

Woo hoo! Clark! Where one of my co-workers got pulled over - three times, no less - because she was black!

Wed. 3/4/09 5:17pm From: Leon Trotsky

Can you book him for 7SD?

Wed. 3/4/09 5:17pm From: Carmichael

Great, now I missed The Mighty Sparrow too. I'm leaving for a meeting in twenty minutes, maybe Gary Usher would fit right about there.

Oh, how art imitates life .....

Wed. 3/4/09 5:19pm From: Cecile

DJ Nick the Bard

Wed. 3/4/09 5:21pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I'm amazed -- I didn't realize the J&H Productions phenomenon had expanded so far.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:23pm From: trent

keili can you ask irwin to put this madonna reverb on your voice?

Wed. 3/4/09 5:27pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Personally, I'd like to hear the Madonna reverb applied to Mel Blanc's voice.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:27pm From: Parq

Way cool. I didn't know Mel Blanc recorded novelty cuts under his own name.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:38pm From: Cecile

I still think Craig Finn would be a great rapper...

Wed. 3/4/09 5:49pm From: bike

kelei = new favorite on air personality

Wed. 3/4/09 5:53pm From: AnAnonymousParty

So, Maynard Fergusson has to kick off every 'Touchy'?

Wed. 3/4/09 5:54pm From: bike

sorry! keili!

Wed. 3/4/09 5:56pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I think the Touchy has the greatest impact when it sounds like it was recorded in an alley.

Wed. 3/4/09 5:58pm From: Jimmy Safechuck

Modern country music never met a cliché it didn't like, did it?
