Hey man! How's it going? (My Facebook imitation).

Wed. 8/5/09 3:09pm From: Snortley

Love... or what have you!

Wed. 8/5/09 3:11pm From: Dave B in NYC

Greetings Irwin!

Wed. 8/5/09 3:12pm From: Ike

Woah. Dang.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:12pm From: Janet H

WOW!

Wed. 8/5/09 3:12pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I'm so happy to be able to listen to Irwin's show again after many weeks away! And what a great group of cuts to start with.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:14pm From: the muffled sound is gone

i usually hear a muffled sound in my day-to-day life...but there is no muffled sound in this Robocup song...it cured me!...i've been curred by Irwin's show

Wed. 8/5/09 3:16pm From: Laurie

Irwin, did you know that the Postmarks have a new album? I think it's out now. I saw them play recently, and they played new stuff. All lovely, of course.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:16pm From: Janet H

.....i bought the Postmarks album By the Numbers....love it!

Wed. 8/5/09 3:18pm From: Janet H

really Laurie?...i need to check that out

Wed. 8/5/09 3:18pm From: Irwin

Hey, Janet. That Postmarks cd is fulla gems. All it lacks is AMANDA.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:19pm From: jeff_m

yeah this is beautiful, ordering now :)

Wed. 8/5/09 3:23pm From: Laurie

Oh, correction. It's not out 'til August 25th.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:24pm From: Laurie

Passions was my favorite soap opera.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:25pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

it's true, man...I was thinking the same thing the past few weeks.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:26pm From: Phillip2167

NO AMANDA TODAY!!! YESSSSS THERE IS A GOD AFTER ALL:-)

Wed. 8/5/09 3:26pm From: BSI

...the solution, clearly, is an Irwin/Amanda a.m. drive-time schlock-jock hoedown of biblical proportions. ... urp...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:26pm From: no Amanda?

I'm outta here!

Just kidding....

Wed. 8/5/09 3:27pm From: Irwin

No Amanda? Hell, I'M LEAVING!!!!!

Wed. 8/5/09 3:27pm From: british voice

say ol'chap, you're not "pissing out" on us, are you? the whole gang's here listening!

Wed. 8/5/09 3:27pm From: Dave B in NYC

I think taking a break from Amanda will only increase the magic that she brings next time you spin some.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:27pm From: Amanda Fan Club

By not playing Amanda the terrorists win...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:28pm From: phillip2167

hey irwin what about roadhog and the cadilliac cowboys?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:33pm From: g dilly

phillip2167 is correct: nothing raises your spirits like a good barfight! (ducks to avoid flying chair)

Wed. 8/5/09 3:34pm From: g dilly

or, a school gymnasium fight! (ducks to avoid flying folding chair)

Wed. 8/5/09 3:37pm From: BSI

christ, if I can go cold-turkey on kenny g, I should be able to get over amanda........ but both?!?!?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:38pm From: BSI

oooohhhhhhhhh............ sweet fix......

Wed. 8/5/09 3:38pm From: GP

LOL g dilly...a buddy of mine is a band named:
"Schoolgirl Knifefight"

Wed. 8/5/09 3:38pm From: Dave B in NYC

YEAH BABY - I knew you couldnt holdout. Amanda is like heroin for the ears....

Wed. 8/5/09 3:38pm From: Devin

Yea,... I just turned it up...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:39pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I thought you had the personal willpower to resist temptation, but I see that I am incorrect.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:39pm From: GP

correction: that should read: "is IN a band"

Amanda...cool

Wed. 8/5/09 3:39pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

This gravelly-voiced infant is . . . Amanda?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:39pm From: Michele

Thank god, Irwin. We were getting shaky just thinking about the lack of Amanda...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:40pm From: amandafan

inside of my crusty, 31 yr old male mind, is a tiny amanda dressed in a run-dmc outfit.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:41pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I didn't realize that doing the cha-cha involved shaking one's booty.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:41pm From: Janet H

amanda is growing on me.....

Wed. 8/5/09 3:41pm From: Laura L

I hear a plea from BSI for a Kenny G number...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:41pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

getting steamy in here....ahem...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:42pm From: BSI

HELL YES you do...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:42pm From: dei xhrist

I love you Irwin, especially by the sea shore

Wed. 8/5/09 3:42pm From: mike

I'm unemployed. Amanda and Mark are making the day a little easier. Thanks ya'll.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:42pm From: deepinsidelova

this slow-love shit is blowing my mind.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:42pm From: Devin

Denise,.. Come on now...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:43pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Amanda's okay, but Mark Turns is making my heart beat faster.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:43pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

I think it is possible foor this guy to sound more insincere, but I am not sure how.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:43pm From: Marshall Stacks

Word of the day: anaphrodisiacal.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:43pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Devin, I've never done the cha-cha! Does Amanda give lessons?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:43pm From: Harvey

hahahahahahahahaha

Wed. 8/5/09 3:43pm From: Laurie

Oh, this Mark Turns track is killing me, Irwin. Oh man.

Oh no... wait, it's going in a direction I don't like.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:44pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

it's safe to say, this Mark fellow really enjoys this young lady's company.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:44pm From: The FCC

Careful. We are listening closely to this Mr. Turns.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:44pm From: GP

I will squeeze it and love it...

Wed. 8/5/09 3:44pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

did he bring her chicken soup? a box of kleenex?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:44pm From: Laurie

NO, MARK TURNS. NO.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:45pm From: BSI

I need to hear Kenny G. reading this ASAP.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:45pm From: Amanda Fan Club

This guy sounds like Sen. Mark Sanford

Wed. 8/5/09 3:45pm From: GP

Oh I'm about to get all up in your bidness.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:45pm From: mike

rubbing alcohol?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:45pm From: ?

Did Mark Turns used to work for J&H Productions?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:46pm From: Difficult Listening

"Passionless" is more like it. Mark Turns, mighty husbot!

Wed. 8/5/09 3:46pm From: someonehelpme

Mark Turns sounds to me like a mellow Wesley Willis, only he's giving his sexy thang some medicine instead of whupping Batman's ass.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:47pm From: Devin

Wing?!?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:47pm From: Marshall Stacks

Irwin, your show has taken a diabolic turn. Turns, whatever.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:47pm From: deepinsidelova

no one understands the funky-romance-descriptive-talk-love of Mark Turns.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:47pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Mark Turns into Wesley when Wesley forgets his medicine.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:48pm From: Difficult Listening

That'd be a neat trick, as Wesley is a bit dead.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:48pm From: nna

HA! Kenny G reads Mark Turns FTW

Wed. 8/5/09 3:50pm From: Marshall Stacks

This Bruce Lash track is an effective palate cleanser/antidote.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:53pm From: GP

Amazing lyrical talent is being presented today.
Thanks for that Irwin.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:53pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

You mean "Philosophy of the World" actually has a melody? Gosh . . . who knew?

Wed. 8/5/09 3:54pm From: Laurie

http://www.lilgoat.com/TShirt7.htm

WAT.

Wed. 8/5/09 3:57pm From: Janet H

Andrea Silenzi will be co-hosting with Andy on 7sd....

Wed. 8/5/09 3:59pm From: sonic yoot

lee is free!!!

Wed. 8/5/09 4:00pm From: Janet H

i believe he is on vacation

Wed. 8/5/09 4:01pm From: andy kaufman

Wesley's not dead, just incognito. I had breakfast with him the other day.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:01pm From: Janet H

Ken will be gone for a month

Wed. 8/5/09 4:03pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

not understanding the obsession w this band

Wed. 8/5/09 4:05pm From: Janet H

Iwrin...um what happened to andy's fb account....he's gone!

Wed. 8/5/09 4:05pm From: Janet H

*Irwin

Wed. 8/5/09 4:06pm From: Irwin

DCE: I don't get it either. Help me. Plz.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:07pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Wow. The articals on Mark Turns's webpage show that he was nominated for Who's Who in the World!

Wed. 8/5/09 4:11pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

willpower, dude.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:12pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

doesn't this thing by Don Costa have a melody very similar to an ELO song?

Wed. 8/5/09 4:13pm From: Irwin

If so, ELO stole it from Brian Wilson.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:13pm From: Marshall Stacks

Oh, nice one, Irwin. I haven't listened to this one (Cactus Cat) in years.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:14pm From: Laurie

My cat just jumped onto my lap.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:15pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

This Cactus Cat song is actually good!

Wed. 8/5/09 4:19pm From: BSI

RADIO PROSTATE SESSIONS:
another great Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks item, still un-released after all these years...

Wed. 8/5/09 4:20pm From: dc pat

wait, is Kenny sitting in for Irwin? the dj's inflection is getting dangerously close to Kenny's...

Wed. 8/5/09 4:20pm From: guy at party

<snaps on rubber glove> Irwin? Irwin? Where did Irwin go?

Wed. 8/5/09 4:22pm From: conspiracy theorist

They're the same guy. dint you no?

Wed. 8/5/09 4:23pm From: a guy in a chair in a cube

Wow I actually do like this Tea for 2. Thanks Irwin.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:24pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I was listening to NPR this morning (please don't mock me) and was amazed to hear Andy Breckman being interviewed. "Hey, I know him!"

Wed. 8/5/09 4:26pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Well, I don't really *know* him, but . . . um. I'll shut up now.

http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=111566194

Wed. 8/5/09 4:27pm From: BZ

Mock, mock, mocking on Denise's door...

Wed. 8/5/09 4:27pm From: BSI

does anybody REALLY "know" andy breckman?

Wed. 8/5/09 4:28pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

In the Biblical sense?

Wed. 8/5/09 4:41pm From: Sara

Irwin! At last I can listen to your show live again... and these last few have convinced me that I may need to drop the forty bucks on that Koichi Sugii record. Thanks... ?

Wed. 8/5/09 4:41pm From: GP

Denise:

<tumbleweed blows across set>
<crickets chirping>

Wed. 8/5/09 4:41pm From: Janet H

so peaceful

Wed. 8/5/09 4:44pm From: Irwin

Welcome back to realtime, Sara. The Koichi Sugii collection is superlative.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:48pm From: GP

At 89 y.o.a. Dave Brubeck is till playing gigs! This also heard on NPR so it must be true....and amazing.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:52pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Aha! Somebody else listens to NPR! I'm not the only self-absorbed yupster in Irwin's audience!

Wed. 8/5/09 4:53pm From: v k

saw dave brubeck at Morristown (NJ) Theature in 2007 - amazing, absolutely amazing

Wed. 8/5/09 4:53pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I listen to a few NPR shows, especially on Sunday mornings...NPR goes good with a mellow Sunday morning.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:56pm From: v k

mellow sunday morning = bowl + espresso + reggae schoolroom (10 to 12) on wfmu

Wed. 8/5/09 4:56pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I love NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me -- lousy title, good show. It's like an aural News of the Weird that also mocks mainstream newsmakers.

Wed. 8/5/09 4:56pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

yeah, I can't do the wake'n'bake no more dese days

Wed. 8/5/09 5:00pm From: Laurie

This Mark Turns is a real sweet talker. He reminds me of Kenny Powers.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:00pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I wish Mark would go back to talking about rubbing alcohol.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:01pm From: Marshall Stacks

Large Bare Bosom = OK NFAB.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:01pm From: ginger tim

re. NPR - how many 'FMUers pay the bills via WNYC/public radio? More than a handfull, I reckon.
BTW, Mark Turns is turning me gay!

Wed. 8/5/09 5:01pm From: GP

Yeah Denise. I listen to the NPR on the way to and from work, no other good stations here to listen to during that time...I don't have an MP3 connection in the car or I'd listen to FMU archives.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:01pm From: deepinsidelova

How can anyone understand such intensity?

Wed. 8/5/09 5:02pm From: v k

morning radio in NYC area - 91.5 has a decent show from 6 to 9am called "wake up NY" - i listen to it on drive in

Wed. 8/5/09 5:03pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

The day I can listen to Internet radio in my car will be the happiest day of my life. In the meantime, I'm stuck with the sucky DC stations.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:03pm From: Marshall Stacks

I only saw a couple of free downloads on Mark Turns's site, and you've played three tracks, Irwin. Did you buy one of his CDs?

Wed. 8/5/09 5:05pm From: Marshall Stacks

I can listen to Internet radio in my car. The first time I did it wasn't the happiest day of my life, but it was definitely up there.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:05pm From: texas scott

greetings,Irwin.love the show....even more than pseu's.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:06pm From: mahavishnumama

ov vey,this playlist is so good I think I will go and flagellate myself with a bream fish. What hang on I am out of bream, but I have some tilapia.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:07pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

ginger tim -- you mean Mark isn't getting you excited at the idea of unbuttoning some woman's pajama top and nestling your head on her large bare bosoms?

Wed. 8/5/09 5:09pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Irwin, this "Two Pink Lines" song cries out to be followed by "You're the Sweetest Little Fetus."

Wed. 8/5/09 5:09pm From: mahavishnumama

what can be better than getting large bosoms unbuttoned then?

Wed. 8/5/09 5:09pm From: someonehelpme

Mark Turns is in touch with his inner lil' goat.

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

Picture this:
The most beautiful women you have ever seen, wearing Mexican sun dresses, cowboy boots, holding up a lone star beer, and singing along to this Eric Church song.....this is what I have to deal with...we all have our crosses to bear ; )

Wed. 8/5/09 5:10pm From: mahavishnumama

im in touch with my inner Goethe and my outer Proust

Wed. 8/5/09 5:13pm From: Ike

VK, I agree. Good to have decent music on the airwaves before 9 around here. Too bad D.C. has nothing similar. No wonder FMU has so many D.C. web listeners.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:14pm From: someonehelpme

Not to make you insanely jealous or anything, GP, but...I married that woman.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:14pm From: BSI

I could never locate my inner Goethe, at least not without a dentist's mirror. ... My outer Proust, however, has been OUT OF CONTROL...

Wed. 8/5/09 5:17pm From: GP

Someonehelpme: <lucky!> I love them...every one of them...ah Texas!

Wed. 8/5/09 5:32pm From: Lizardner Dave

Hello Irwin and commenters. LD here on vacation in Tuscany. Tuned in a half hour ago and I have to say that as great as this show makes my workday afternoon it's equally great as a late night listen. Thank Humanity for the Internet that makes it possible to listen to the greatest radio station in the universe anywhere I go (provided there's a web connection, of course).

Wed. 8/5/09 5:32pm From: Janet H

just letting you know i'm still here....

Wed. 8/5/09 5:34pm From: Janet H

yea thank God for the internet

Wed. 8/5/09 5:35pm From: someonehelpme

Mark Turn's manuscripts read 'Chopin Liszt' on the top.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:35pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

How nice of Mark to offer to become nude as well as asking it of his lady.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:36pm From: texas scott

that Mark is quite the charmer...

Wed. 8/5/09 5:36pm From: ginger tim

That's fine - what have you.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:36pm From: BSI

Mark Turns is workin' that outer Proust...

Wed. 8/5/09 5:37pm From: Marshall Stacks

Mark Turns is channeling Silvio Berlusconi.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:38pm From: BSI

"When I'm plastered, things are weird."
-Amanda

Wed. 8/5/09 5:38pm From: texas scott

i luv amanda!

Wed. 8/5/09 5:38pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Thank god -- more Amanda. I was beginning to go into withdrawal.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:39pm From: Lizardner Dave

Amanda at 11:40 at night is awesome in a completely different way.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:40pm From: v k

traffic and weather - this songs is everywhere

Wed. 8/5/09 5:43pm From: monica

wait, did somebody say sue simmons?

Wed. 8/5/09 5:46pm From: Marshall Stacks

Yes, and Chuck Scarborough.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:49pm From: Laura L

All Andrea will need is a copy of the Mark Turns to hand to her soon-to-be live-in boyfriend. Nuf said!

Wed. 8/5/09 5:55pm From: Janet H

Tell Andy I said Hi...

Wed. 8/5/09 5:57pm From: GP

There is a silly parody called "Stairway to Gilligan"..singing the Gilligan's Island theme song. Need to find that one.

Have a good evening everyone.

Wed. 8/5/09 5:59pm From: Janet H

BYE IRWIN!
