Wed. 8/12/09 3:02pm From: BSI

Irwin is GOD.
That's right, you heard me.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:05pm From: anther old mn

We like the Irwin, don't we.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:06pm From: Irwin

welcome all old men and elderly ladies to the listener chatshack

Wed. 8/12/09 3:08pm From: Fritz

This is the first comment not written by Irwin, but yeh, he has a great show and I've spent hours and hours enjoying the archives.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:08pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

...another afternoon of wackiness, I presume?

Wed. 8/12/09 3:09pm From: Maria (not the DJ)

Old ladies in Athens GA say oh yeah

Wed. 8/12/09 3:09pm From: tombom

keep government out of my medicare

Wed. 8/12/09 3:10pm From: Laura L

Everybody got their Polydent? Don't want to lose your partial at the chatshack.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:10pm From: BSI

crap!
I thought Christ on a Crutch did the definitive cover of Folsom Prison Blues.... until WESLEY came along!

Wed. 8/12/09 3:10pm From: Ike

What a five-star radio day. Sara Jaffe does a great fill-in, plus now we get Irwin making comments, hooting in the background, and playing the best cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" ever. And I normally can't stand "funny" singing children.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:10pm From: jan

Wesley is great, such a crooner compared to amanda, but can you play more magnetic fields, please?

Wed. 8/12/09 3:11pm From: Janet H

speaking of Folsom Prison Blues...... i played it today over the intercom at work today..it was great!

Wed. 8/12/09 3:12pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

I sang Folsom Prison Blues karaoke at my sister's wedding. I'd be famous now if I had recorded it for youtube.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:12pm From: Lou Pearlman

Can I get Wesley's number?

Wed. 8/12/09 3:13pm From: The Old Codgess

Mourning the demise of Willy De Ville, only Amanda could cheer me up

Wed. 8/12/09 3:13pm From: Ike

Now THAT is real country music. Oh and hey, it's Great Northern. That was a wacky segue. I like.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:16pm From: BSI

Irwin:
I totally understand if you think Amanda has been done enough, but, I mean, jeez..... tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY for cryin' out loud, and I could use a dose of CONCRETE NIPPLES, if you dig...

Wed. 8/12/09 3:17pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

everybody shut up now, he's talking!

Wed. 8/12/09 3:21pm From: Yuwen

Yes! Romantic Affirmation!

Wed. 8/12/09 3:23pm From: still b/p

Maybe sophisticated audio sampling/reassembling tricks could conjure Amanda singing the Beatles' "Birthday" -- aw, there...can't you hear it?

Wed. 8/12/09 3:26pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Oh Jeeeeesus!

Wed. 8/12/09 3:27pm From: The Old Codgess

What a catch this here Mark, he's a smooooth talker

Wed. 8/12/09 3:28pm From: Marshall Stacks

Irwin, we choose you.
You're a DJ that makes a man cry.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:31pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Irwin's large behind is part of the reason I was attracted to him in the first place.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:34pm From: Marshall Stacks

Truly, DCE. Who among us can't say that?

Wed. 8/12/09 3:36pm From: BSI

I certainly don't need any "exotic books or magazines with pitchers" right now.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:40pm From: Irwin

I iz sittin on my reezin rite nau.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:45pm From: BSI

this funeral tango has put "NEXT" by Sensational Alex Harvey Band in my head, which means it'll be there for about three weeks..... thanks....

Wed. 8/12/09 3:46pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Audacious Scott Walker. So audacious.

Wed. 8/12/09 3:47pm From: mat

there is a french guy who sings this song- george brassens, maybe?

Wed. 8/12/09 3:52pm From: thelma

Jacques Brel the author or Tango Funebre
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDXtgA1cpBg

Wed. 8/12/09 3:53pm From: Easily misled

K, I totally just read the title of the last song as "Rumba a la Potato," and I couldn't understand exactly why one would write a dance song about potatoes.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:00pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Oh, I'd write about potatoes, maybe not a rumba, though. You can fry, boil, scallop, mash....

Wed. 8/12/09 4:01pm From: su amigo

Usted dice potato,
Yo digo patata..

Wed. 8/12/09 4:02pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

that works in English almost as well as Spanish.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:03pm From: National weather service

Hey bro our wires busted... its gonna rain.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:07pm From: Laura L

The Clientele--thank you!

Wed. 8/12/09 4:10pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I love that thing they always do...

Wed. 8/12/09 4:10pm From: lust in translation

Bookshop Casanova = bibliotickler?

Wed. 8/12/09 4:20pm From: BSI

Mark Turns is phenomenal.
He's like the perfect mix of Steven Covey and Francis E. Dec with a tiger-striped fur sofa.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:21pm From: jan

sure would like to see the record jacket for Mark Turns- is there a photo of him and his love?

Wed. 8/12/09 4:22pm From: Irwin

pics of mark @ lilgoat.com

Wed. 8/12/09 4:26pm From: Ike

Wow, he's also the "author of... 3 theories." Huh?!

Wed. 8/12/09 4:30pm From: PMD

It's Irwin! Poor Irwin. No FB fun.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:32pm From: Anonymous

WLO,DW?

Wed. 8/12/09 4:33pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Irwin's straight, not like Hippie Jonnie.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:35pm From: mark fisher

OMG! That was Mark Turns! how the hell did you find him? I thought he was Columbus' dirty funny little secret.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:36pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

We've got a funny dirty little secret in Cleveland now...Marc James...he's gunna BLOW UP BIG, man!!

Wed. 8/12/09 4:47pm From: PMD

Oh, thank you for Amanda.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:48pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

this must've been an early version, she's still tripping over the words!

Wed. 8/12/09 4:50pm From: BSI

aah. lovely.
it may yet be a happy burp-day.....

Wed. 8/12/09 4:52pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

haunting music about...a...sea goose, whatever that is.

Wed. 8/12/09 4:58pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Yes, they are, and with that, I bid you goodnight!

Wed. 8/12/09 5:03pm From: BSI

Andy is a total Grobschnitt fan.

Wed. 8/12/09 5:07pm From: jan

didn't go to woodstock, instead wrecked my sister's car. What about
a film about Woodstock by Ang Lee- what's in it for him? Seems like a curiosity at best.

Wed. 8/12/09 5:24pm From: bsy

Pete Hamm, You were tortured, and a beautiful soul. You will not be forgotten.

We live, ... on

Wed. 8/12/09 5:25pm From: Marshall Stacks

Great Bailter Space album & track. Thanks, Irwin.

Wed. 8/12/09 5:40pm From: Dan

Love this Asian pop orchestral stuff. A lot of it (inadvertently) anticipates the Les Baxter sound...

Wed. 8/12/09 5:44pm From: Laura L

Domo arigato for the rovrey music from Koichi Sugii-san.
