Listener comments!

Wed. 6/3/09 3:04pm From: timotato

Greetings. Please don't sing any Beatles.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:05pm From: deeming

irwy ir ir irwy

Wed. 6/3/09 3:09pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

there's some of that violent zombie mayhem

Wed. 6/3/09 3:10pm From: BSI

aah..... Miss Piggy on the way home from Oktoberfest, yes?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:11pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Kermit's got something heading his way, that's for sure

Wed. 6/3/09 3:13pm From: Laura L

Thanks for Tiger Lillies! Kermit and Miss Piggy... sounds like the listeners are thinking of the great Farmyard Filth album.... can we have some Farmyard Filth next week, Irwin?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:16pm From: Lizardner Dave

Is it too early to request some Amanda?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:16pm From: hez344

Mister, please not to sing beatles.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:18pm From: BSI

...or Amanda Filth, mebbe?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:19pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I'm guessin' this was part of a Valentine's Day gift to some lucky gal?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:20pm From: Cecile

ugh. I may have to go to my "all Satie, all the time" station on Pandora.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:20pm From: Cecile

AMANDA

thank god

Wed. 6/3/09 3:20pm From: Parq

Now we're rolling.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:21pm From: BSI

aaawwwwwwww, yeh.....

Wed. 6/3/09 3:21pm From: fishmonkeystew

SQUAW HOOTENANY!!!!

The video for this is hilarious.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:25pm From: Yakov Smirnov

Who let me in here?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:25pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

that's really sumptin

Wed. 6/3/09 3:30pm From: Cecile

melt-banana, I love them.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:31pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I don't think you can melt a banana, but it sounds like a gooey treat. Topped with chocolate and whipped cream...

Wed. 6/3/09 3:32pm From: Harry B.

Come mister melty man, melty me banana...

Wed. 6/3/09 3:32pm From: Hugo

I was going to say exactly the same, but Cecile got there first. Seen them live and got the autograph of the singer!

Wed. 6/3/09 3:33pm From: Foster Bananas

Eat me, I'm as good as melted.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:34pm From: BSI

christ, i haven't heard that Kids of Widney High record for ages... this is a hilarious version...

Wed. 6/3/09 3:34pm From: Cecile

Irrwin, are you doing your Tony Coulter impression?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:35pm From: Donovan

Wee melt-able banana
is bound to be the very next phase...

Wed. 6/3/09 3:36pm From: Parq

I'm thinking this is his Scott Muni impression.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:37pm From: GDF

Amanda vs. Susan Boyle, now that's a contest!

Wed. 6/3/09 3:37pm From: BSI

He's that typewriter insect with the talking butt, inne?

Wed. 6/3/09 3:38pm From: still b/p

In a world...where Irwin almost sounds like a movie trailer guy --

Wed. 6/3/09 3:38pm From: Marshall Stacks

That's not good for your vocal cords, Irwin. Scott Muni coulda told you.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:39pm From: ginger tim

What're the odds of hearing some Saloom,Sinclair And The Mother Bear today??

Wed. 6/3/09 3:40pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Andrew Bird's records are so milquetoast, but he's riveting live.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:44pm From: Cecile

I wouldn't know. You can't get tickets to any of his shows around here - they sell right out.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:45pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

one more reason to live in flyover country...I saw him (free tix) in a half-empty theater two months ago.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:48pm From: Cecile

yeah, you never know what flies out on the coasts.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:55pm From: just a guy

@Dead Corporate Eyes
The problem though with that is that he won't necessarily be booked in your town again if turnout was that low.

Wed. 6/3/09 3:56pm From: Cecile

or a smaller, crummier venue

Wed. 6/3/09 4:11pm From: bbell

Irwin, you have a gift for playing music for a rainy day that leaves one feeling upbeat! My daughter is reviewing the Grizzly Bears CD for the school newspaper, and it was the polar opposite of your show:very bad mood rainy day.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:12pm From: Aharon

I didn't know I really, really wanted to hear all this music until I heard it.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:25pm From: Unclear on the concept

Can someone help me think of a new pseudonym?

Wed. 6/3/09 4:27pm From: jeff-a-chusetts

oh no, amanda.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:28pm From: Georges

UotC: How about "Lighting Set My Butt on Fire?

Wed. 6/3/09 4:29pm From: Jess

I can see how that could be a problem... It's interesting that the lightning fire was limited to Amanda's butt.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:29pm From: still b/p

new pseu. -- Uncle Aron.
We'll know.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:29pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Unclear on the concept: only you can come up with a handle for yourself. We don't know you...be creative. OR, what Georges said!

Wed. 6/3/09 4:32pm From: Brucie

Goodie. More AMANDA. Irwin, you are a giant.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:41pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Hot bolts of lightning setting my butt on fire,
While angry weasels ripped my flesh.
And staggering zombies are crunching my bones.

These are a few of my favorite things

Wed. 6/3/09 4:43pm From: Amanda Fan Club

How do you tell co-workers to shut up while "Lightning Set My Butt on Fire is playing?" Thank god for archives. Wish you could find her for an interview. Goddess!

Wed. 6/3/09 4:45pm From: AnAnonymousParty

What kind of idiot doesn't have the good sense to remain silent for a performance by Amanda?

Wed. 6/3/09 4:50pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

usually Amanda tunes generate some discussion around these here parts!

Wed. 6/3/09 4:50pm From: Dave B

who is "Amanda" and were can I find more of that stuff?

I snotted myself listening to it, and co-workers look at me like I'm the crazy one... They just don't get it.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:51pm From: Amanda Fan Club

I wonder if she knows how much we crave her.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:53pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Around here (as often is the case for WFMU), my co-workers stop what they are doing to ask "WTF is that?" before walking away silently shaking their heads.

Wed. 6/3/09 4:54pm From: Bad Ronald

AFC - I recommend politely asking in your best Amanda voice "would you please shut up?".

Yes DCE it appears we are rapt with Amandamania thanks to Irwin!

Wed. 6/3/09 4:54pm From: Lizardner Dave

MORE AMANDA! MORE AMANDA!

Wed. 6/3/09 4:58pm From: Amanda's #1 Fan

Aye, keep it coming, Irwin!

Wed. 6/3/09 4:59pm From: Dave B

Just curious, for my own amusement, is there somewhere I can download some of the amanda stuff?

was scraping the archives, and man- that stuff is the best. It'd make for nice interludes on my ipod...

Wed. 6/3/09 5:02pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Unfortunately the only DJ on FMU who has received the Amanda transmission is Irwin. Someone should start an "All Amanda all the time" time slot. I know she's on My Space and Facebook but I bet she doesn't know about us. Her last name is Whitt or Wheet.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:02pm From: Brucie

Desperate to buy, download, beg for Amanda tracks ... as always.

Sincerely,

Amanda-less in Tibet

Wed. 6/3/09 5:02pm From: Cecile

I love Amanda, but I like this Reginald Forsythe.
My husband eats up early swing and Raymond Scott with a spoon.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:04pm From: Brucie

I'd stop listening to WFMU to move to the All Amanda All The Time station WFAMANDA.org ... just joshing y' Irinw. We have you to thank for this mess!

Amanda-less in Saskatchewan

Wed. 6/3/09 5:09pm From: Western Civilization

Amanda is the last straw. I give up. You go figure out culture for the next two thousand years.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:12pm From: Lizardner Dave

http://www.myspace.com/memedacookie

Amanda's MySpace. Can't fine the FB.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:16pm From: Dave B

And just found this YouTube page as well.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Jerserf


God, I love the intarwebs.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:20pm From: Dennis Miller

Hey, get off my lawn, baby.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:22pm From: Ike

Still more coherent than GWB.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:23pm From: Parq

Exactly, Ike - than on his best day.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:25pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Jerserf is her brother. The first time Irwin played Amanda (4/29) he was in the comments section. So he would know how to let her know that we adore her so. Great hearing her in the background of this rant.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:25pm From: Lizardner Dave

LEAVE BRISTOL PALIN ALONE!

Wed. 6/3/09 5:27pm From: Lizardner Dave

And on the music end of things, I have a dream. A dream that Amanda will one day do a Corn Weenie remix. Yeah, I know she's probably 30 right now but how hard could it be to channel that voice? Especially if she smokes now?

Wed. 6/3/09 5:30pm From: Greg from Detroit

YAY! The Smoots!

Wed. 6/3/09 5:41pm From: Parq

This Lanois track is real pretty. Just saying.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:43pm From: Laura L

Was just thinking the same thing. Real pretty. Thanks, Irwin, that was nice.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:43pm From: C

is this the original circles? i've only heard the who version

Wed. 6/3/09 5:46pm From: Irwin

Pretty sure it's a Townshend tune. Sounds like a Shel Talmy production too.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:47pm From: Jerserf

Hey ya'll! My first live chat... Irwin thank yo SO MUCH for your support and kind e-mails... I see Amanda next week!

Wed. 6/3/09 5:48pm From: C

thanks. yeah, shel really nailed that sound.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:53pm From: Parq

Yee -haah!

Wed. 6/3/09 5:54pm From: Lizardner Dave

Jerserf, let us know what she thinks of her new found fame among Irwin's fans. Maybe Irwin can put it on the blog if he feels so inclined.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:55pm From: Jerserf

I blogged about Amanda a few years back... maybe this will answer a few questions above? She didn't believe me when I told her that she has fans... hehehe

Maybe I could ask her to sign on during one of Irwin's broadcasts and chat to you beautiful peoples...


http://peripherus-max.livejournal.com/2005/10/17/

Wed. 6/3/09 5:57pm From: Cecile

I bought that Nick Haefner CD on your recommendation, Irwin. Found it quite inexpensively.

Maybe Irwin could do a phone interview with Irwin?

Wed. 6/3/09 5:57pm From: Jerserf

p.s. The next time I go to my parents' house, I'm going to look for 6 cassettes that I still haven't digitized. The best record we ever did was called "Monumental Whopper Turmoil Jam." Although, "Worship Me" is up there.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:58pm From: Cecile

I mean, Amanda.

Wed. 6/3/09 5:59pm From: Jerserf

Irwin, let me know if you want her phone number. :)

Wed. 6/3/09 5:59pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Jersef -THAT WOULD BE SO COOOOL. Something to live for... I also like Concrete Nipples!

Wed. 6/3/09 5:59pm From: Lizardner Dave

That would be fantastic Jerserf.

Wed. 6/3/09 6:13pm From: easy free people search

There are two national Amanda Wheet listings in TN, and one in KY. May or may not be the same person.
