must be Wednesday!!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:06pm From: Dave B in NYC

Ah, my favorite day of the week!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:07pm From: Lizardner Dave

I love this Fountains of Wayne song. Unironically, I might add.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:08pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

musically, maybe, otherwise, HUH?

Wed. 7/8/09 3:10pm From: Dave B in NYC

is it just me, or are others experiencing stream rebuffering?

Wed. 7/8/09 3:11pm From: postmanpaul

lizardine dave, me too. timewarp wise.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:12pm From: GP

Before looking at the playlist , thought this was Oasis...just for a second.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:12pm From: Cecile

I'm not. I'm listening to ...something else

Wed. 7/8/09 3:12pm From: AnAnonymousParty

The streamream is worworking fifififine for fine for meme me.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:12pm From: Parq

Agree with Dave on the FOW song, and the entire album it came from. Is the listener who did the "Dr Chumley" post late in Maria's show still here? That may well be my favortie post of the past several weeks.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:12pm From: Cecile

actually, that BellRays is a great song, in that version and in a version from a couple of years back.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:13pm From: postmanpaul

lizardner dave, apols for misssspelling your moniker.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:14pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

streaming fine here...I also thought FOW sounded a LOT like Oasis on that one.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:17pm From: GP

Dave B..no problem on the 32k MP3 stream, but I have not tried the others.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:18pm From: still b/p

Parq - 'at was me gettin' a little pooka-delic in Maria's closing minute.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:19pm From: Lizardner Dave

No worries. It's a weird online handle but Ken gave it to me although he doesn't know it. To make a short story short, I was once one of the many "Listener Daves" until one morning on Ken's show he played a Rush song and referred to people who like Rush as "reptiles". So there you go.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:19pm From: Cecile

very nice!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:20pm From: Jenn

PLAY AMANDA NOW!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:20pm From: Cecile

well, LD you're at least not one of the insect people.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:20pm From: GP

Irwin, thanks for the email forward from last week

Wed. 7/8/09 3:26pm From: postmanpaul

ken gives more than he knows!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:27pm From: Ike

GP, try the 32k AAC+ stream if you have a decent player like Winamp or Foobar. It sounds a lot better than the 32k MP3 stream. (It's mislabeled as 24k AAC+ at the top of every playlist.)

Wed. 7/8/09 3:29pm From: The Log Lady

Bah, I hear the tape printing out, but there was no tones.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:29pm From: fishmonkeystew

Use fire to fix it.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:29pm From: Spankyflop

I just lent "Songs in the Key of Z" to a guy I work with. It turns out that you bought some Raymond Scott charts from him. So far he loves the book!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:29pm From: Lizardner Dave

@Cecile: That's true, then I might be Insecter Dave or Roachener Dave or Buganer Dave or something. That would be weird.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:29pm From: WaveyDavey

Now I'm worried the "end of the world" will come and I won't notice.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:29pm From: PMD

Hi. I love Amanda.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:29pm From: Cecile

true, that.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:30pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Perhaps it really is the end of the world when the 'end-of-the-world' machine is inoperable? Anyway I'd rather hear the machine that goes "Ping!"

Wed. 7/8/09 3:30pm From: Ike

Yes, yes, kick the End of the World Machine! Let's hear it screeching and modem-noising into oblivion! HA!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:30pm From: GP

Thanks Ike...trying it now..Amanda sounds better already!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:31pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Wonder how Amanda's trip to NY was. Jerserf?

Wed. 7/8/09 3:31pm From: Spankyflop

I use the flashplayer version here at work. It hiccups once and a while, but it sounds better than the 32k version. And my boss can't block it!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:32pm From: PMD

Lizardner Dave, I always wonder how some people get their names. Verrrry clever.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:32pm From: Parq

Stil b/p, loved it. "In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart; I recommend pleasant."

Wed. 7/8/09 3:32pm From: The Log Lady

AnAnonymous Party has a point. Perhaps the world ended and nobody told us? That'd be a major bummer for an otherwise nice day.

Hi, I love Amanda too.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:32pm From: Cthulu

I'll let you know when he end of the world arrives thank you very much.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:33pm From: Dr Strangelove

You know, ze end-of-the-world machine loses its deterrent power ven its action goes unnoticed.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:33pm From: Lizardner Dave

May I request another playing of Amanda's cover of "Bad" in honor of MJ's funeral/media circus?

Wed. 7/8/09 3:35pm From: postmanpaul

irwin, what would your tune-of-choice be for an endoftheworld warning?

Wed. 7/8/09 3:35pm From: Parq

L-Dave, how about this? Be a famous romantic pianist-composer who is reincarnated as a very observant Jew. Then you could be Davener Liszt.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:36pm From: PMD

I always thought she was saying "I'm mad"

Wed. 7/8/09 3:36pm From: Jenn

I have not been about to get "Bad" out of my head since I first heard it on your show. THAT is the greatness of Amanda.

"I'll make you eat my pee"

Can't argue with lyrics like that.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:39pm From: postmanpaul

mj put the morphine metamorphosis.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:40pm From: AFC

It is MAD not bad. Although I bet she was pretty bad in her day.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:40pm From: PMD

I'd like to hear Amanda cover the test of the emergency broadcast system.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:40pm From: The Log Lady

YES! IT WORKS!

Thank ghod it's not the end of the world.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:40pm From: gumby

Irwin, we were duly alerted that time

Wed. 7/8/09 3:41pm From: Chicken Little

The sky is falling!

Wed. 7/8/09 3:41pm From: Lizardner Dave

Parq, that's just too hard to type.

But enough about me, this should all be about Irwin, the EAS, and Amanda.

Wed. 7/8/09 3:42pm From: GP

Parq you said Davener Liszt.....laughing here, that was a good one

Wed. 7/8/09 3:45pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

nice drumming here!

Wed. 7/8/09 4:00pm From: PMD

What if I want to panic?

Wed. 7/8/09 4:03pm From: Jenn

I am not EVUH gonna make Amanda cross with me.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:04pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

Thanks for playing Amanda each week.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:04pm From: Dave B in NYC

Outstanding!

Wed. 7/8/09 4:05pm From: Parq

Irwin, if you get a chance, could you re-post the keywords (besides "Amanda") needed to find Amanda on Youtube?

Wed. 7/8/09 4:06pm From: Jenn

Did I hear the theme to Hawaii 5-0?

Wed. 7/8/09 4:07pm From: Irwin

jerserf

Wed. 7/8/09 4:08pm From: AnAnonymousParty

It's like the Tasmanian Devil, Cornholio and Cartman were all victims of some bad Star Trek plot involving a transporter accident that melds them all together.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:08pm From: tom

it was just 4:05:06 7/8/9 great show Irwin!

Wed. 7/8/09 4:14pm From: BSI

Just got back from a meeting with demons about demonsy stuff! And already I've missed a pair of Amandas! Hell's cookies!

Wed. 7/8/09 4:16pm From: AnAnonymousParty

"Roadhog" forever.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:20pm From: Lizardner Dave

Mighty fine, mighty fine.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:22pm From: Mr. Davies

Predictable, that's the word of the year.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:23pm From: Roadhog

Remember the past,
live the present,
and trust the future.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:23pm From: annie

Wed. 7/8/09 4:27pm From: BSI

I'll need a steady dose of Amanda's magic(k) to squash all the f*kkin' michael jackson earworms I've got crawling in me skull..... Let 'em loose, Irving, I can handle it!

Wed. 7/8/09 4:27pm From: Lizardner Dave

I just ordered the Roadhog compilation. All right all right.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:28pm From: BSI

Irving?

Wed. 7/8/09 4:28pm From: Tim Serpas

Say, what sort of fish could you catch with earworms?

Wed. 7/8/09 4:30pm From: Cousteau

A migraine haddock.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:30pm From: Glenn L

Seeing Wilco on Monday and a week from Saturday. Looking foward to it.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:41pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Wed. 7/8/09 4:41pm From: Johnny

Never Mind the Pollock...

Wed. 7/8/09 4:45pm From: Lizardner Dave

Neither show (Coney Island on Monday or the Hudson Valley Renegades ballpark in Wappinger's Falls) is sold out according to wilcoworld.net. Yo La Tengo opens at Coney Island.

Wed. 7/8/09 4:57pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

there's a little bit of everything here...here I go to drive my Saturn home and get laughed at!

Wed. 7/8/09 4:57pm From: Andy Serkis

Of the many "Martin Hannett" Stories, my particular favourite is about when he once fell asleep over the mixing desk, his gigantic belly spreading and pushing the faders across the board, so that the sound went berserk -- the band stopped playing, and woke him up telling him that the levels were all over the place. "Bollocks," he replied, "that's the best you've sounded all f---ing day."

Wed. 7/8/09 5:02pm From: Bees, hornets and wasps

Watch your back, human.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:07pm From: anyone to everyone

this song is great

Wed. 7/8/09 5:11pm From: Happy Listener

Thanks for playing Area's "With Louise" today, Irwin. It was a very important song for me, about 15 years ago.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:18pm From: PMD

Irwin will you be my friend??

Wed. 7/8/09 5:19pm From: annie

pmd- i was just looking for him...

Wed. 7/8/09 5:21pm From: Laurie

You know what, this Sam Phillips song is pretty great.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:21pm From: Irwin

You are all my friends. Virtually.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:25pm From: annie

Wed. 7/8/09 5:41pm From: GP

If you like Pina Coladas..oh oh oh, getting caught in the rain...that one Irwin?

Wed. 7/8/09 5:42pm From: Cecile

Wed. 7/8/09 5:43pm From: annie

Wed. 7/8/09 5:44pm From: BSI

Wed. 7/8/09 5:44pm From: Laurie

Wed. 7/8/09 5:44pm From: GP

Amanda Amanda Amanda Amanda

Wed. 7/8/09 5:45pm From: Cecile

Yay! I'm enjoying other music in the background. Lovely robo-techno!

Wed. 7/8/09 5:45pm From: darue

who or what is Amanda? I've been unable to find any info, someone please hit me with the clue stick?

Wed. 7/8/09 5:46pm From: C

how this didn't make it on to Chaos i'll never know

Wed. 7/8/09 5:47pm From: annie

i've been listening actually since about an hour ago or so....great tunes... so far.... meh.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:48pm From: jan

Irwin: i was in a meeting and missed part of your show! It's so annoying when I have to miss your show for work. Same thing happened last week- fortunately on another day I can listen. Please post the amanda youtube links again.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:49pm From: Cecile

I think I have to eventually own just about every record on the Kompakt label. Their robot voices and songs soothe me.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:49pm From: AFC

She's hardcore! Thanks Irwin. Waiting breathlessly for some new Amanda tracks...

Wed. 7/8/09 5:53pm From: GP

Darue and Laurie,
Amanda is from a bunch of kids recording stuff. Look for Jerserf on the comments board. He is one of the brothers who made the original recordings...beyond that I don't know anything else.

Wed. 7/8/09 5:56pm From: AFC

Here ya go - Amanda is found here:
http://www.myspace.com/memedacookie

Wed. 7/8/09 5:58pm From: Lizardner Dave

Thanks for another great show. Kept me at work 15 minutes later than I needed to be but worth it. Now to escape before Andy hooks me in. That's what archives are for....
