Yeah... I think I have a bit of a crush on 2009 Amanda.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:04pm From: BSI

WORSHIP MEEE!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:05pm From: Laura L

Uh-oh, here we go. Amanda's b.f.'s going to have some, uh, stiff competition now. Well, it's an idiomatic phrase!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:05pm From: Rampler

very excited to hear about Amanda. her music is incredible

Wed. 7/22/09 3:06pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Amandinsanity - but in a good way. I agree Irwin is Santa Claus.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:09pm From: Tim Serpas

BBR: music to kill yourself by.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:10pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Who is Amanda?

Wed. 7/22/09 3:11pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

can't seem to figure out how to get the stream going today...things have changed, somehow. are we not being offered the 128k stream for WIMP anymore?

Wed. 7/22/09 3:11pm From: chris

Looks like I've been spared, so I get to hear this in real timeafter all. Yay!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:12pm From: Happy Hollerday

Revvin' up Amanda's cause,
Right down Amanda Fan Lane...

Wed. 7/22/09 3:15pm From: Rampler

Wed. 7/22/09 3:15pm From: Pearly Sweets

Vintage is the taste of a fine amanda track.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:15pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

a wise strategy, sir!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:16pm From: PMD

I thought this was the all amanda show. Sigh... not just interspersed...

Wed. 7/22/09 3:17pm From: Rampler

I was hoping for all Amanda too, PMD

Wed. 7/22/09 3:18pm From: Amanda Fan Club

Santa with discipline

Wed. 7/22/09 3:18pm From: BSI

Irwin is Santa Claus........ and the DEVIL!

....a bit like life, if you think of it...

Wed. 7/22/09 3:19pm From: Parq

That was adorable. And it's from Miz Liz's preimum? Psyched - I'm getting that one.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:19pm From: Pearly Sweets

Yeah, I was also rooting for all amanda all the time. But alas. teased again by the treacherous Irwin!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:21pm From: Rampler

people at work shouldn't call me during Amanda!!!!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:26pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

The Whitt Family must have been one fun group of folks.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:28pm From: Pearly Sweets

Dickies tease!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:31pm From: GP

Dangit..just tuning in...missed the first part of the interview.
The typography on the cassette cases has me mesmerised. I want that as my screensaver.
Irwin, thanks for THIS show!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:40pm From: Carmichael

Good afternoon Irwin and happenin' peoples.

Irwin, saw you recently on the Wild Man Fischer bio "Derailroaded". Ya did well.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:46pm From: Rampler

Concrete Nipples!!!!!!!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:47pm From: BSI

oh great seeping christ!
I haven't heard Concrete Nipples yet,
this is GOD.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:48pm From: Tim Serpas

Yes, but who will sing Amanda songs at the NEXT Hoof & Mouth show?

Wed. 7/22/09 3:49pm From: Rampler

I would sing "Me at Friday's" if I ever had the chance

Wed. 7/22/09 3:50pm From: GP

OMG...Liz Berg! I NEED to have this. Is there a video of this?

Wed. 7/22/09 3:52pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

git out yer boots and dance!

Wed. 7/22/09 3:52pm From: Laurie

Oh dear, popular country music.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:54pm From: Irwin

Scott Wms sez there will be fideo vootage of K&L on da UsedToobz. Patience, bucko.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:55pm From: GP

Terri Clark....she don't look like one of the guys though.

10-4 Irwin. Thanks

Wed. 7/22/09 3:55pm From: north guinea hills

There's something endearing when Irwin plays contempo country. it reminds me of my old home of FLA. God, I hated that music back when I lived there, why do I wax nostalgically for it now....

Wed. 7/22/09 3:57pm From: Parq

Oh Irwin, you old popmeister, you.

Wed. 7/22/09 3:58pm From: Sophisticated Boing-Boing

is new york still sans a country station?

Wed. 7/22/09 4:01pm From: GP

NGH...I hear you. When I was in Cambridge ( quite a ways from Texas). I heard country music blaring from a boat house on the river. I had to check THAT out.....turns out thre manager was a country fan...just another surreal moment in my life.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:10pm From: BSI

Please play CONCRETE NIPPLES on a loop until I am dead.
Thanking you in advance for your appreciation in this matter,
I remain,
BSI

Wed. 7/22/09 4:11pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

BSI, I thnk a few short hours of that loop would have you sproutin' yer own pair

Wed. 7/22/09 4:12pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

maybe that was your goal, though...

Wed. 7/22/09 4:12pm From: BSI

hey weird,
is this HUMAN BEANS an extra track on a CD reissue? I don't remember this one from the 12" or the Chocolate Fireball Whatsit CD...
I could be senile, of course.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:13pm From: Rampler

there is no such thing as too much Concrete Nipples

Wed. 7/22/09 4:13pm From: BSI

oh, and DCE, now that you mention it...!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:14pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

this Human Beans thing is so catchy yet so STUPID!!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:17pm From: Irwin

like so much of the hippie music!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:18pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Amanda's picture and Syd Barrett's guitar playing--match made in heaven.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:18pm From: Ike

SBB: Yes, it's absent. Many radio people argue incessantly about its viability. Advertiser prejudice is an issue.

A *classic* country station would be cool (if it weren't all '90s country) but comm. radio stations here are all so overvalued and over-leveraged that they all desperately seek huge success instead of niches.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:22pm From: GP

For some country music ( classic and otherwise) that is not necessarily mainstream:

Wed. 7/22/09 4:22pm From: Chris

Best. Segue. Ever.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:23pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

If you do not mind, I think I will take responsibility as your inspiration for the last two tracks.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:23pm From: Carmichael

See Amanda Play.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:23pm From: jon

Hootenanny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Hootenannies!!!!!!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:23pm From: Trapper

I just got in
Did I miss Amanda?

Wed. 7/22/09 4:24pm From: huge

fabulous segue

Wed. 7/22/09 4:24pm From: Trapper

Ah, looks like yes...

Wed. 7/22/09 4:25pm From: Carmichael

Plenty more where that came from, Trap. Just look at that stack of cassettes.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:25pm From: MaJiK 8 Ball

All signs point to YES

Wed. 7/22/09 4:29pm From: BSI

egad, sudden meeting.
keep the amanda on ice!
I'll be back with concrete hootenanny!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:29pm From: north guinea hills

I love this posies song.....

Wed. 7/22/09 4:30pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

back in the 90s my band would stop practicing around 1am and we'd get in the car and sing this song. except the chorus was "when do we get laid?"

Wed. 7/22/09 4:30pm From: Eric Andre

Can't believe you played Dave Cloud. I see him all the time here in Nashville. Quite a character that Dave Cloud.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:31pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

wow, I didn't realize that picture had a scroll bar...Amanda turned out hot!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:32pm From: Laura L

Thanks for The Clientele--wonderful album.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:32pm From: Eric Andre

Do you take requests? Love to here a R. Stevie Moore song. Is that passe on WFMU these days?

Wed. 7/22/09 4:33pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

@Eric Andre
are u kddin'? they play R Stevie Moore just about as much as Amanda!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:34pm From: Trapper

This Clientele song sounds a lot like 'Pure and Simple' by the Lightning Seeds

Wed. 7/22/09 4:36pm From: Eric Andre

I knew they used to play him all the time, but being in Nashville I don't get to listen to WFMU much. Only when I'm on the internet. Love to here something I haven't heard before. Of course having nearly 100 of his CD's I guess that would be a stretch. Anyways, keep up the good work Irwin. Loving the show.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:38pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I dunno, I didn't hear any "talk box" guitar in there!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:42pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

How can something purported to be the "complete works" have "bonus tracks"? If it did not include those tracks it would not be complete. Thus, they are not really a bonus at all.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:43pm From: J-Mar

Yo, Eric, another Nashvillian tuned in here!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:44pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

@Dum dum guy
especially when they're as stupid as that one!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:45pm From: Eric Andre

Cool. do I know you? You can look me up on the old facebooks.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:45pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

Nashville is a myth.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:46pm From: Sophisticated Boing-Boing

i keep thinking somebody pulled a "moby grape" on the 1987 amanda

Wed. 7/22/09 4:48pm From: Bad Ronald

This JWT track is sweet!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:48pm From: J-Mar

dude, it's Nashville. if we don't know each other, we know all the same folks.

yo, RSTVMO, if Nashville is a myth, does that mean R. Stevie Moore is a myth too?

Wed. 7/22/09 4:52pm From: Eric Andre

Worship Me!

Wed. 7/22/09 4:52pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

@J-Mar ... METH

Wed. 7/22/09 4:53pm From: Eric Andre

I heard AMANDA was a myth. Then I met Joseph and he told me she wasn't.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:54pm From: PMD

Hmm... wonder whether they are Revere Ware pots, or another type... And wonder how you tune them.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:55pm From: AFC

Irwin - oh my god is she still this exuberant?

Wed. 7/22/09 4:55pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

Manda is a Moth.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:55pm From: Rampler

I kneel before cookie

Wed. 7/22/09 4:56pm From: Carmichael

She used to look like the feral kid in Mad Max.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:56pm From: Eric Andre

Worship is hit worthy, but Concrete Nipples is the tune that got me hooked.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:56pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I bet the world's taken its toll on her youthful exuberance.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:56pm From: Laurie

100 Helens agree. So Cow is awesome.

Wed. 7/22/09 4:59pm From: Eric Andre

J-Mar. You did a live/interview with RSM way back when on WRVU. I actually have a DVD of it. I think we met at a hands of cuba show. Scott Martin is a really old friend of mine. We used to record together back in high school. I was one of the original members of Character. Small city I guess. You playing with anybody these days? Love the trumpet work.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:00pm From: irin

those Amanda tapes are truly gems. wtg Irwin

Wed. 7/22/09 5:02pm From: J-Mar

I told you it was a small town. Yeah, I just saw Scott and Ryan last night -- I'm playing with them at the Merge Records 20th anniversary show Friday night.

Wait a sec -- is the Joseph Whitt who lives in Nashville related to Amanda?

Wed. 7/22/09 5:04pm From: BSI

whew....
back to the magic!

Wed. 7/22/09 5:04pm From: Barry

Amanda,
Well you flamed and you raved without fakin',
And you blew me away,
Amanda,
Won't you throw down and get the house shakin',
We all kneel down and pray,
Aaamanda...

Wed. 7/22/09 5:05pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

Marx Jonathan! Ha! Did not make the connection, sorry. French connection. Lambchopped! Nashville is MATH.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:05pm From: Eric Andre

Yeah it's the same Joseph. I thought scott was in Europe.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:08pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

Hide everyone on Facebook newsfeeds. They be got way too much to say! She be like, then he be like. Sup, Andre!

Wed. 7/22/09 5:10pm From: J-Mar

Yes, R. Stevie, Nashville is math: everyone is separated by 1.5 degrees. Case in point: I work with a woman whose mom went to Maplewood with Mindy Dalton.

Eric, I am totally tripping on the Amanda-Nashville connection. Been listening to her for weeks now and didn't even know. The 'chop just got back from Europe late last week, and now they (we) are headed to NC for the Merge Fest.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:16pm From: texas scott

i'm with Martha...

Wed. 7/22/09 5:17pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

@IC, as if you haven't already dropped my magic name millions of times, plz always remember to inform your rapt audience where you originally discovered the Amanda epidemic! [buffs fingernails on coat lapels]

Wed. 7/22/09 5:19pm From: J-Mar

ah, it's all making sense now, RSTVMO....

Wed. 7/22/09 5:19pm From: Eric andre

Same to you RSTVMO. I believe I was a part of that.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:22pm From: Eric Andre

wanna see a hilarious short film with AMANDA and Joseph. Check out Daniel and the dunces of the universe. It's pretty funny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki_3U9OJ-is

Wed. 7/22/09 5:23pm From: GP

I love Amanda accent...ah, sweet home Alabama.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:24pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

Eric, that's right! Chicken or the egg? Where did it originate tween us? MySpace, correct? Did *YOU* alert me to her FIRST?? // Btw, several startling new photos of AW + RSM are on my Fakebook sector.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:25pm From: Neil Young

I'm outta here...

Wed. 7/22/09 5:26pm From: Eric Andre

I see those. Makes me Jealous on both fronts. You get to meet AMANDA and she gets to meet you.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:27pm From: Parq

So wait, is Jerserf their dad?

Wed. 7/22/09 5:28pm From: RSTVMO Opryland

Steve Irwin, 5-star broadcast today, sir. Salut! // Jerserf is Brother Jody.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:30pm From: Eric Andre

Those Darn Accordians sounds like something that Dr. Demento has probably played.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:31pm From: Bozo Barrett

Was the rough trade single part of the rough trade gay Canadian singles from way back when? He sure sounded gay.- Just curious - lol Thanks

Wed. 7/22/09 5:32pm From: nna

Amanda is HOT!

Wed. 7/22/09 5:32pm From: RSTVMO Opryland Gay Alliance

@ALL, plz go see every Amanda video here: youtube.com/jerserf

Wed. 7/22/09 5:33pm From: Eric Andre

Fishheads!!!

Wed. 7/22/09 5:34pm From: DBinNYC

Irwin - Thank YOU for introducing US to Amanda!

Best thing since sliced bread.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:35pm From: Laurie

I loved that "Great Indoors" song. You sing it, girl.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:35pm From: Eric Andre

I'm still waiting to get some of those AMANDA cassettes with the original artwork. Joseph was telling me that they're now trying to put out an AMANDA " or quite possible a 12" record. That was back when I was working at the pressing plant. Not sure if he's still working on it or not now.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:36pm From: Parq

"Those Darn Accordions" is my new favorite band name, second only to the immortal "To Live And Shave In L.A.".

Wed. 7/22/09 5:49pm From: Carmichael

Those Darn Accordions are real big out here in CA. Gotta admit I like their sendup of Grand Funk (We're an Accordion Band).

Wed. 7/22/09 5:49pm From: Rampler

CHAOS!!!!!!

Wed. 7/22/09 5:50pm From: J-Mar

sounds like a perfect project for Sebastian Speaks, Eric.

Wed. 7/22/09 5:51pm From: JLH

why Brenda's my ma's name as well

Wed. 7/22/09 5:52pm From: JLH

where in Bama is Miss Amanda from?

Wed. 7/22/09 5:59pm From: Parq

I guess there's no chance of getting Manda and Jody back into the studio, say the FMU studio? Ah well, a guy can dream.

Thu. 7/23/09 3:31pm From: Lizardner Dave

Fantastic show. I can't wait to hear the rest of the interview.

Fri. 11/6/09 5:03pm From: CR

last weekend I watched the movie The Stork Club with my family and could not get over the very obvious, the very strong thread that appears to exist between Betty Hutton and our beloved Amanda.
BETTY HUTTON LIVES ON IN AMANDA!
