long live anal magic

Wed. 6/17/09 3:03pm From: Dave B

get me thru the rest of the work day Irwin!

Wed. 6/17/09 3:07pm From: Spencer

Yes! Rare Amanda tracks!

Wed. 6/17/09 3:07pm From: Dave B

AMANDA!

Wed. 6/17/09 3:08pm From: to a MR. DAVE B

thats what i said

Wed. 6/17/09 3:10pm From: BSI

Amanda is the son of GOD.
...or something.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:11pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our sweet girl. Such joy.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:12pm From: Lawrence Welk

Wunnerful Wunnerful! She sure would fit right in with my musical family!

Wed. 6/17/09 3:13pm From: sounds like a real toy typewriter

TO A MR. ANYONE

Wed. 6/17/09 3:14pm From: Spencer

Thanks for that Irwin! Now you can play whatever you like for a bit.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:20pm From: BSI

Spencer: don't set Irwin free TOO much.
He's gotta treat Amanda tracks with the same scheduled reverance as station IDs... We all need a regular fix.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:24pm From: Parq

And, thanks to the new RIAA reporting requirements, Miss Amanda gets a shiny new 37 cents every time Irwin treats us to another one of her stellar performances.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:26pm From: to a MR. PARQ

i got 13 cents on IT NUKS

Wed. 6/17/09 3:27pm From: Ike

37 cents? Really? So it costs more than some jukeboxes? It's not $0.037 or $0.0037? That's insane.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:28pm From: Spencer

BSI: You're right. I should have specified that: a bit = 10 minutes or 3 songs max.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:39pm From: Parq

A confession: I got the 37-cent figure from listening to one of Ken's monologues this AM, and not listening terribly closely at that. But guys, don't you think Amanda is *worth* 37 cents a play?

Wed. 6/17/09 3:39pm From: ginger tim

A Slam Dunk!!

Wed. 6/17/09 3:39pm From: Joe Bacon

Ah, the return of Candypants! :-)

Wed. 6/17/09 3:40pm From: Parq

eeeYESS! CANDYPANTS! YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DOING A BREAK-DANCE! Whatever the hell that was.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:40pm From: Laura L

Irwin, you got a mattress on your back?

Wed. 6/17/09 3:41pm From: gumby

are candy pants like edible underwear?

Wed. 6/17/09 3:41pm From: Clark Barr

A Slam Dunk in Swimming Trunks!

Wed. 6/17/09 3:43pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Irwin is definitely playing to the crowd with this set...

Wed. 6/17/09 3:43pm From: D.B. Cooper

I have heard this Amanda several times now on WFMU, what is the story behind her?

Wed. 6/17/09 3:45pm From: to a MR. D.B. COOPER

SHE IS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR

Wed. 6/17/09 3:47pm From: D.B. Cooper

Yes, but I would like to know more about my lord and savior, you can't have religion without mythology.

Wed. 6/17/09 3:50pm From: Bad Ronald

@ DBC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBySvb5zBNg

Wed. 6/17/09 3:52pm From: Parq

Coop, Amanda is like Santa Claus or that kid who suckered Armistad Maupin - we can't offer you proof, you just have to believe.

PS - Note: "suckered" -- ER-ed. Wiseguy . . .

Wed. 6/17/09 4:07pm From: Amanda Fan Club

It's great to see the innocent newcomers just waiting to be saved by Amanda's grace

Wed. 6/17/09 4:11pm From: Dave B

Perhaps we can have an Amanda Fund Raiser to get some of her stuff pressed. From someone close:

"We hope to press a record at some point of Amanda's exploits for sure, as soon as I can save up enough money.:

Wed. 6/17/09 4:17pm From: Lizardner Dave

Uh, this is going to be mashed or Traktored....right?

Wed. 6/17/09 4:18pm From: Irwin

Pray, Dave. Pray hard.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:18pm From: ?

Oh, joy. An ironic song selection. Suck is still suck.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:20pm From: Irwin

That spin was irony-deficient.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:22pm From: Happy Listener

Irwin, thanks for playing "Empty Boy", your buddy Lane sounds awesomely influenced by XTC.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:24pm From: Spencer

I really liked "Empty Boy"! As Happy Listener said, very reminiscent of XTC.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:29pm From: Happy Listener

@Rad Bonald: I'm curious, does Amanda know she's on the 'net, and is "Jerserf" aware of Amanda's WFMU fame?

Wed. 6/17/09 4:30pm From: Parq

Gang, not to take any audience away from SSD at UCB, but Loudon Wainwright and a couple of his relatives are doing a free gig in Mad Sq Park, NYC, at 6 tonight.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:31pm From: Ike

I am with Lizardner Dave and ? on this one. That Extreme song was extreme bison dung by extremely meatheaded doofuses.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:31pm From: Dave B

@ Happy Listener - Jerserf definitely is aware

Wed. 6/17/09 4:32pm From: Lizardner Dave

Lane and RSM's "What Do I Do With The Rest Of My Life" is pure pop genius and a pretty funny youtube video too.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:44pm From: V

Real radio here.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:45pm From: Joe Bacon

Must...Have...More...Amanda...

Wed. 6/17/09 4:45pm From: John

OMG! This (Amanda) is the greatest thing I've heard in years!

Wed. 6/17/09 4:46pm From: John

I'd love to hear Miley cover this.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:47pm From: Joe Bacon

I believe that Amanda is the 21st century answer to Jobriath

Wed. 6/17/09 4:47pm From: Amanda Fan Club

She topped herself this time

Wed. 6/17/09 4:47pm From: Lizardner Dave

I hope the RIAA finds Amanda.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:48pm From: Happy Listener

Amanda's singing really reminds me of "Lady Sniff" by Butthole Surfers

Wed. 6/17/09 4:49pm From: Jerserf

hey ya'll! :) THANK YOU!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 4:50pm From: Jerserf

Just walking in the door from Alabamy, visiting my sis... i showed her this page and all of the archived shows, she was really in awe of the attention

Wed. 6/17/09 4:51pm From: Marshall Stacks

@Joe Bacon :
I'll bite.

Jobriath is to David Bowie as Amanda is to ...?

Wed. 6/17/09 4:52pm From: Jerserf

Hey Irwin, she's coming to visit me in NY next month... maybe we could take the train down and I could introduce you ;) hehehe

Wed. 6/17/09 4:52pm From: Happy Listener

@MStacks: Tina Turner

Wed. 6/17/09 4:53pm From: Joe Bacon

Marshall, I can still remember when Jobriath was compared to a "?" too!

Wed. 6/17/09 4:54pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Irwin you MUST meet her you lucky dude

Wed. 6/17/09 4:55pm From: Idea Man

"Win a date with Amanda" fundraiser!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 4:55pm From: Marshall Stacks

Don't ask, don't tell.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:56pm From: Lizardner Dave

Signed Amanda CD-Rs = killer marathon premium.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:58pm From: Happy Listener

Don't care, can't tell.

Wed. 6/17/09 4:58pm From: John

Great idea'r Liz Dave! I'd give plenty o' ducats to my fave rave playing station for that!

Wed. 6/17/09 4:58pm From: Bad Ronald

I vote for an Amanda Cookie party!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 4:59pm From: Jerserf

Wed. 6/17/09 5:06pm From: texas scott

your show is swingin' today,Irwin.

Wed. 6/17/09 5:12pm From: G

Amanda -- Latin for "she who must be loved"

nuff said.

Wed. 6/17/09 5:12pm From: still b/p

What's the WFMU equivalent of the Hasty Pudding Club's Woman of the Year -- Woof of the Mu?

Wed. 6/17/09 5:15pm From: texas scott

Hasty Moo of the WOOF WOOF,b/p

Wed. 6/17/09 5:20pm From: Bad Ronald

Didn't know there was a Baseball Calypso genre. Got any Hockey Klezmer Irwin?

Wed. 6/17/09 5:22pm From: still b/p

Fooey of the Munth: Just found out the Sir Richard Bishop, Oaxacan, and Big Blood show I thought I'd be seeing in a few hours is cancelled! If Amanda exists and is divine and all-powerful, how could she allow such pain in the world?

Wed. 6/17/09 5:24pm From: Bad Ronald

Have a cookie and let the healing begin...

Wed. 6/17/09 5:26pm From: still b/p

"..and therefore never send to ask for whom the cookie tolls; it toll-houses for thee."

Wed. 6/17/09 5:28pm From: Bad Ronald

Ha - Indeed!

Wed. 6/17/09 5:30pm From: texas scott

you have a way with words,b/p.

Wed. 6/17/09 5:40pm From: texas scott

is Radiohead one of those groups everyone hates because they're popular or just pretentious?

Wed. 6/17/09 5:41pm From: Spencer

My experience is that everyone loves Radiohead.

Wed. 6/17/09 5:43pm From: texas scott

including myself,Spence.Isn't it really about the sound?

Wed. 6/17/09 5:44pm From: Dear RIAA,

Try checking my mandatory labels column. See how much interesting music I can play that's not commercially available, or comes from shoestring independent labels? I'm talking to you, Bertelsmann. Are we communicating?

Wed. 6/17/09 5:46pm From: texas scott

Amanda's timing is impeccable! I hope the RIAA finds her.

Wed. 6/17/09 5:46pm From: Bad Ronald

"Plastered" - Sheer Bloody Poetry!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 5:53pm From: Marshall Stacks

Water Song - nice, Irwin.

Wed. 6/17/09 5:55pm From: Laura L

It is a nice song. Thanks, Irwin!

Wed. 6/17/09 5:56pm From: ginger tim

It's nice but it do go on a bit, don' it?!

Wed. 6/17/09 5:58pm From: Rob

Who is this amanda and where has she been all my life?

Wed. 6/17/09 5:58pm From: ginger tim

Hey, remember Monkeypiece Theatre? I'm thinking: Amanda-piece Theatre.
