Irwin, bring the good vibes today. Clear out this yuk in the air

Wed. 4/22/09 3:02pm AnAnonymousParty:

No comment.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:03pm BSI:

ah....
Just got back from a terminal circus boxing nightmares in the pineal salad-shooter... what did I miss?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:04pm Jeff-a-chusetts:

i think i can hear the clouds parting. thanks!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:05pm Cecile:

Irwin, if you like Howe Gelb, Lou Reed and ukeleles, I have a track for you.
The Wellington International Ukelele Orchestra did a cover of "Walk On The Wild Side" with Howe on lead vocals. It's on their MySpace page

Wed. 4/22/09 3:05pm Cecile:

I can't get at it here, and I am a lame and didn't email it to you later. Just wanted to tell you before I forget forever.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:08pm Sean Daily:

Seventh or so comment! Woo hoo!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:10pm Lizardner Dave:

Fuck the planet? That's going to take a lot of Viagra for those of us over 40, Irwin.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:12pm Cecile:

this free design remix is very witty

Wed. 4/22/09 3:12pm Milhouse:

Not enough astroglide in the world to lube that... Giggity!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:12pm Parq:

I donwanna seem like I'm baiting Irwin politically -- I'm not, I promise -- but I've always found it noteworthy that Dan Quayle once proclaimed a fairly ardent enthusiasm for the Free Design. I really wouldn't have guessed that he had that much arcane musical knowledge in him.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:14pm timotato:

I concur. Forget about today's rain. It's supposed to be 84º (28º) here in NYC this weekend. Let's hear some summertime weekend music.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:16pm Lizardner Dave:

That bit of keyboard in this MM&W reminded me of "Tarkus" for some reason.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:19pm Cecile:

birthday!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:19pm G.:

So you and earth are, like, twins?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:19pm Pearly Sweets:

Happy Birthday, Irwin!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:20pm Cecile:

Happy anniversary of your natal day, Irwin!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:21pm Mother Nature:

Irwin, knock it off or I will abort you.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:21pm G.:

The music is up loud in three rooms :-P

Wed. 4/22/09 3:21pm AnAnonymousParty:

Dan Qualye went to the record store and asked for that record by the band 'Free Bird' or something, and that's what they sent him home with.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:22pm tim:

It is not Nabokov's birthday. Tomorrow is, adjusting for the odd-ball, pre-Soviet (Old Russian) calendar.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:22pm Lady Chusid:

Oh it's your birthday...well... I'd offer a birthday spanking, but I don't think my hand could take that many swats! So a puritanical kiss will have to do!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:23pm dragonflyjiards:

Bill O'Reilly filling in for Irwin today, huh?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:24pm fishmonkeystew:

Sorry, I'm with Mother Earth on this one. Just call me a dirty hippy if you must.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:24pm Bad Ronald:

Oh really?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:25pm dragonfryjiards:

Ms.Nature-you can do that?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:25pm Mother Nature:

I'll send some lightning over to Hoboken this evening. What time do you get home, Irwin?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:28pm AnAnonymousParty:

You're gonna have some splainin' to do to the folks later when the planet comes home all knocked-up. Whadya gonna do then, Irwin?

the math problems on the anti-spam wfmu comment device have grown too difficult! I can't post comments anymore -- without a calculator!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:30pm Parq:

Happy, happy birthday, Ol' Pal, and many more of them. I will buy a drink in a non-returnable bottle in your honor.

PS "Puritanical Kiss" would make a good . . . you know . . .

Wed. 4/22/09 3:31pm Pearly Sweets:

This is my favorite cake mix

Wed. 4/22/09 3:31pm Laura L:

Irwin's allowed to punch somebody in the head today for a piece of cake! Choose wisely, Irwin, it comes but once a year.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:31pm Happy Listener:

Happy Birthday, Irwin! It's my mother's b-day, too (1941).

Wed. 4/22/09 3:33pm dragonflyhjiards:

i think he's punched mother earth in the head for cake

Wed. 4/22/09 3:33pm Lizardner Dave:

Yeah, I guess I'll drink a beer on the SI Ferry on the way home and, in Irwin's honor I will throw the bottle in the regular trash instead of the recycling bins. Happy birthday, you Crichton-worshiping radio genius!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:34pm Mother Nature:

It's not nice to mess with Mother nature.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:34pm Sean Daily:

Well, Irwin, according to Anton LaVey, birthdays are one of the high holy days for a Satanist. Just think, if you'd pledged yourself to Lord Satan, you would have gotten a day off today!

Just something to think about for next year...

Wed. 4/22/09 3:36pm Lizardner Dave:

And in honor of Irwin's birthday, Jandek is playing in NYC tomorrow. For free, too. http://www.villagevoice.com/events/jandek-1060245/

Wed. 4/22/09 3:37pm Sean Daily:

This Christmas, the bad guys are going to learn... it's not nice to mess with Mother Nature.

MOTHER NATURE: FIRST BLOOD, PART TWO

Wed. 4/22/09 3:38pm Parq:

Dave, you mean under other circumstances, there are people who would *pay* to hear Jandek?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:38pm Mother Nature:

I got Lavey and Crichton too.
Don't mess with me. I'm superbad!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:39pm Bas, NL:

O darn... I was reaching for my dial here.. Dutch weirdness ;) That's 'Cleansing' on the album 'Songs of the Orderly Misery'..

Wed. 4/22/09 3:39pm Mother Nature:

Imposter!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:39pm Lizardner Dave:

Parq, have you seen any of the youtube clips of the new, funky Jandek? It's....it's...listenable!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:40pm Mother Nature:

There is a radio show related to this site?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:41pm trriiish:

happy birthday, Irwin !

Wed. 4/22/09 3:41pm AnAnonymousParty:

Everyone knows it's 'Irwen', duh!

Wed. 4/22/09 3:43pm Mother Nature:

I'll take it all back if you play Wichita Lineman.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:45pm Mother Nature:

This song reminds me of the Kinks Celluloid Heroes.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:45pm AnAnonymousParty:

Is playing 'Wichita Lineman' like playing 'Post Office'?

Wed. 4/22/09 3:45pm Parq:

It's times like these I wish I'd been old enough to vote for Pat Paulson.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:45pm flatrich:

What cheese do you happy listeners think Homer likes

Wed. 4/22/09 3:46pm DeemerDave:

Is this the only Dave Grohl song played on WFMU? I have heard three hosts play it now. I love Mr. Campbell's version.

Wed. 4/22/09 3:46pm Mother Nature:

Game on!

Wed. 4/22/09 4:04pm Parq:

Falls Church, FMU has been on the new Glen Campbell album pretty heavily, actually, and yeah, it all sounds really good.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:05pm DeemerDave:

dan:

I heard a few on Belock's show back in January. I liked what I heard. I can tell you they are all covers, no new material.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:12pm Lizardner Dave:

Who would win in a fight, Efl Power or Cat Power or The Power Station?

Wed. 4/22/09 4:16pm AnAnonymousParty:

These days the rules for the fight would be set so that there would be no winners or loser and everyone would get a trophy so nobody would feel left out.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:18pm Cecile:

"Cecile-ive yet to hear HG,or giant sand,onWFMU-Where is it? "
I'm surprised you haven't, because FMU loves the Sand - GS did a disc called Backyard BBQ which was recorded at WFMU. And Irwin programs a lot of Giant Sand and Howe Gelb.

here's the WIUO's myspace page:
www.myspace.com\wellingtoninternationalukeleleorchestra.
You can also just google 'howe gelb" "wellington" and "ukelele"
It's right on the very front of their page.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:19pm Marshall Stacks:

Dino Jr. could wallop all of them. Elves, cats, whatever - bring 'em on.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:19pm Cecile:

aw, missed everyting between MM&W and Dinosaur
God I loved and still love that Dinosaur album.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:21pm Marshall Stacks:

Cecile - right, great album, maybe their best. Hearing it makes me nostalgic, which is an appropriate sentiment for a birthday show.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:21pm Zach in Philly:

Just tuning in after a grueling day at work and this "Lamento Borincano" is really hitting the spot~

Wed. 4/22/09 4:23pm Cecile:

me, too, Marshall.
They were one of the last shows of my college days, and a really magical night.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:23pm fishmonkeystew:

I once saw Sonic Youth open for Dinosaur Jr. at Amherst College. My ears bled. It was wonderful.

cat power wins easily over elf power

Wed. 4/22/09 4:27pm GP:

Binks, you got that right Cat Power not just barely, but like in a Chuck Norris way, kicks elf powers butt.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:29pm GP:

Careful, careful, FMS..I got in trouble yesterday for mentioning the Sonic Youth.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:31pm GeorgeSimian:

Awesome show so far today.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:31pm mike:

Wed. 4/22/09 4:32pm dragonjishards:

Wed. 4/22/09 4:34pm Humbert Humbert:

So, Vladimir, I see in earlier comments it is your birthday today/tomorrow. Best wishes, but I didn't get you anybody.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:34pm Irwin:

Don't like Myers and Mt. Gay. They both taste like transmission fluid. Or what I presume TF would taste like. Industrial, y'know?

Wed. 4/22/09 4:35pm djiagonfryshards:

i'm recycling too..looking for giant sand on WFMU after this.(i seldom get to hear Irwin these days,Cecile)

Wed. 4/22/09 4:36pm Cecile:

ah, got it.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:36pm ?:

true.i guess i like transmission fluid-mixed w something sweet

Wed. 4/22/09 4:38pm Pep Boys:

Myers & Mt Gay -feh. We wouldn't put that piss in our transmissions.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:38pm binky:

Transmission fluid is naturally sweet & delicious -- 50,000 dead dogs can't be wrong!

Wed. 4/22/09 4:40pm Kevin in BayRidge:

Irwin,
"Cent Anni" to you & Cap't Morgan et al...

Wed. 4/22/09 4:41pm ddrragonjiflyjishajirds:

t.fluid does smell sickly sweet.wouldnt doubt a dog licking it.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:46pm G.:

Irwin's cake is getting soggy. [wipes tear] I don't think that I can take it.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:47pm dragonji:

is this stoned music,sleep music,or sex music?

Wed. 4/22/09 4:49pm Snoop Doggy Dogg's friend Doug's Dog:

Who died, eh?

Wed. 4/22/09 4:49pm Sean Daily:

B-but G., it took so long to bake it, and we'll never have that recipe again!

Oh noooooooooooooooooo!

Wed. 4/22/09 4:50pm stoned, sleepy horny:

Is this a trick question?

Wed. 4/22/09 4:50pm G:

Yes. It was one of those penis cakes, but really, really big so he could FTW (fuck the world).

Wed. 4/22/09 4:50pm Promoter Guy:

Hey Jimmy Webb, Glenn Campbell, I'd bet that would be a good match.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:51pm G.:

Nothing more useless than a flaccid penis cake. [wipes another tear]

Wed. 4/22/09 4:53pm Bad Ronald:

Of embarrassment?

Wed. 4/22/09 4:55pm Perry Como:

Hot diggety, dog diggety
Snoop, what you do to me...

Wed. 4/22/09 4:55pm AnAnonymousParty:

What's with all the tears? It's Irwin's party, only he can cry if he wants to.

Wed. 4/22/09 4:56pm Zach in Philly:

This "I Believe in the Good of Life" into "Quality Crayon Wax OK" is sticking to the ribs. Great shtuff:-)

Wed. 4/22/09 4:59pm still b/p:

A flaccid penis cake can not be a layer cake.

Wed. 4/22/09 5:27pm Cecile:

I want to hear Miley sing Surabaya Johnny

Wed. 4/22/09 5:28pm Cecile:

Or the Alabama song. Except she could change it to "salad bar", I don't care.

Wed. 4/22/09 5:29pm Miley:

Wed. 4/22/09 5:35pm dragonflyshajids:

i pray this happens--and she brings my niece w her

Wed. 4/22/09 5:36pm GeorgeSimian:

Miley's already butchered her fair share of songs. Don't give her any ideas. She even made Cyndi Lauper song bad.

Wed. 4/22/09 5:37pm dragonflysheds:
