lay it on me baby!!!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:05pm From: PMD

Annie's got her gun!
Irwin...hello.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:09pm From: Parq

Irwin, have you heard the "Human Skab" release yet? A couple of your colleagues have been playing it. It's apparently a 10-year-old boy who is clearly Amanda's spiritual kin.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:10pm From: Goose

Great song!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:11pm From: Irwin

Played Skab in '86 when it first came out and played it last week.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:11pm From: Irwin

P.S. Amanda is WAY BETTA!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:14pm From: BSI

Amanda conquers all usurpers!
Howdy Irwin, nice to see you in my ear canals again.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:14pm From: GP

Sorry...I was distracted listing to archive of the Tom Scharpling show about the Juggalo Festivus, but I am here now ready to listen.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:17pm From: still b/p

Referred to co-worker's wife by wrong name of Amanda yesterday. Weemonic possession.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:18pm From: lux

"PIN number" is redundant, as PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. Just though you'd like to know since you are a perfectionist!

Great show!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:18pm From: Parq

>>Amanda is WAY BETTA<<

No argument from me there. I was just thinking how lucky you were to spend time with 'Manda and her bro. The clips you aired and the pics you posted make them seem like delightful company.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:19pm From: Parq

I always try to remember my PIN number when I go to the ATM machine.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:20pm From: Department of Redundancy Department

Lux, yeah we'll talk about bonuses at the end of the quarter.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:21pm From: Ike

Lux, will you also please take over from me as the self-appointed apostrophe abuse fighter around here? I've lost most of my will to live.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:25pm From: PMD

Irwin, that's what you get when you channel Andy.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:26pm From: Parq

Ike, I got a link for ya.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:28pm From: BSI

I gotta know.
Ike, where do you stand on the contentious issue of the use of serial commas? Seriously!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:29pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I like Ike. I support his pursuit of correct and proper grammar.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:31pm From: Marshall Stacks

You know what would be a great segue? Mark Turns.

Just sayin'.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:32pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I was so absorbed in work I didn't even realize Irwin was on the air until I heard That Voice, and thought, "Wait, is that Amanda?"

Wed. 8/19/09 3:34pm From: Ike

Thank you for your support! I am regaining the will to live. Oh no, wait, there it goes again.

BSI, I love serial commas, but their absence does not reduce me to a blubbering mess in the same way that apostrophe abuse does. Parq, that would be fine grammatical vigilantism... except that proper names are allowed to drop apostrophes. Oops!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:35pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

And I thought the Brits regularly use names that omit apostrophes where we Amurkins would have used them (if, that is, we were paying attention to such things).

I think I got lost in my own sentence there.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:36pm From: BSI

Andy was excommunicated!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:36pm From: PMD

It was a tragedy when Andy's account was suspended.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:37pm From: north guinea hills

weird, i remember dj'ing vic thrill's ep release party back in 2004 in the chelsea hotel. i didn't know they were still around. nice lads, and i still use the record they gave me.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:38pm From: Irwin

Stacks: Got a whole new Mark Turns CD!! Passions v. 2. It'll have to wait til next week, unless I can squeeze some in after the JW3. A bit chaotic here today. (More than usual.)

Wed. 8/19/09 3:38pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Ike, if you are an Apostrophe Enforcer, I assume you're familiar with this cartoon: http://www.angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif

Wed. 8/19/09 3:38pm From: annie

see, i had no idea it was suspended.. i just thought he went on FB hiatus!! dong sun hung around... lurking..

Wed. 8/19/09 3:38pm From: BSI

Excellent, sir Ike.
I, for one, am a vigilant serial-comma advocate... which is worthless, actually, since I'm in the art dept. and have nothing to do with edit.

As for that "will to live" thing, it's overrated. Should that be hyphenated? Egad!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:39pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I demand more Mark Turns!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:39pm From: north guinea hills

W/o the likes of Ike, we'd be approaching the grammatical anarchy event horizon w/ more haste.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:41pm From: BSI

...I can't locate my hyphen!

Wed. 8/19/09 3:41pm From: annie

i stopped saying anything about bad apostrophe placement.. .. so rampant.. so many apostrophes, so little time. but i wish bryce would remove the apostrophe from his blurb "cd's" ??? huh??

Damn. Sorry. Can't get it to give me a non-breaking URL.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:43pm From: GP

It could be worse. The message board could devolve into Twitterisms and text message gramarchy.
I must be approaching fogeydom as I can no longer the kids text messages.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:44pm From: GP

I can no longer <decipher> the kids text messages.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:45pm From: Asta

A paws trophy?

Wed. 8/19/09 3:46pm From: Ike

Thanks Denise! That's nifty.

NGH, "grammatical anarchy event horizon" -- I love it! Ah, incomprehensible event horizons. Ever read Charles Stross?

Wed. 8/19/09 3:46pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I am a passionate supporter of the serial comma.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:48pm From: Marshall Stacks

Thanks, Irwin. I just found a trove of Mark Turns poetry on the subject of the great film Vanishing Point. This has forced me me to reconsider his entire booty - er, body - of work.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:49pm From: Marshall Stacks

"Me me" - attention Department of Redundancy Department.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:53pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I think I am going to use this Johnny Paycheck song as background music for a dinner party and see whether anyone notices.

Wed. 8/19/09 3:57pm From: mb

"I like Joe Belock a lot."

Wed. 8/19/09 4:06pm From: KW

Great stuff. JW trio awesome as always

Wed. 8/19/09 4:09pm From: annie

i love the lyrics to this song

Wed. 8/19/09 4:10pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Hey, Jeremy Wallace Trio. Come to Washington, D.C. and play for me!

Wed. 8/19/09 4:13pm From: Cynthia

Sounds great Jeremy!

Wed. 8/19/09 4:13pm From: KW

Hey Irwin
This is that fantastic song I was talking about

Wed. 8/19/09 4:15pm From: annie

i really love this music!!!

Wed. 8/19/09 4:18pm From: GP

This song is great. Did they write this "Johnny" song?

Where are they from?

Wed. 8/19/09 4:23pm From: annie

i just put jeremy wallace trio in youtube.. a few nice selections..

Wed. 8/19/09 4:23pm From: Andy

Hey Irwin these guys are great! I played with the drummer Tom in CT and his brother Lenny in the Staggered band

Wed. 8/19/09 4:33pm From: Ike

Great performance!

Wed. 8/19/09 4:34pm From: rz

Jeremy is more of a smoke signals kinda guy!

Wed. 8/19/09 4:34pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I can't get the stream to work for longer than about two seconds at a time. Boo hiss. Missed most of JW3.

Wed. 8/19/09 4:36pm From: Cheryl in Upstate NY

May I request a song? $1.49

Wed. 8/19/09 4:39pm From: PMD

Great music!

Wed. 8/19/09 4:40pm From: Cheryl

I've been listening with rapt attention to the entire broadcast. He's one of my favorites!

Wed. 8/19/09 4:40pm From: GP

Ya'll need to come on down to Texas.

Wed. 8/19/09 4:45pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Seriously, when are you guys going to get your butts down to DC or NoVa?

Wed. 8/19/09 4:47pm From: daevid

Great sound! I'm in Montclair - do you give guitar lessons?

Wed. 8/19/09 4:48pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

I always loved the line "I ate more chicken any man ever seen." That's MY side of the tracks.....

Wed. 8/19/09 4:49pm From: Ike

I'm guessing that Irwin misinterpreted Annie's 4:23 comment about YouTube. This kind of "putting in" = searching existing videos (I think). Nobody should be scared that Annie is going to grab them and put them inside YouTube. Anyway, we wouldn't all fit.

Wed. 8/19/09 5:00pm From: annie

ike, you rule,, ..

Wed. 8/19/09 5:01pm From: GP

IKE,
Never underestimate Annie's power of molecular transformation to enable human transport in and through the Interwebs.

Wed. 8/19/09 5:04pm From: annie

i amaze me.

Wed. 8/19/09 5:10pm From: Parq

"Earth to Doris" is a favorite! Often, my wife or I will snarl "that's *perfect" on this cold, dim fluorescent morning!"

Wed. 8/19/09 5:21pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

As much as I like this music, I think something's missing, and that something is . . . Mark Turns.

Wed. 8/19/09 5:24pm From: annie

would you be upset if i turned this off in favor of a movie and dinner? great show today irwin!! and i still amaze me. see all you wonderful people tomorrow am.

Wed. 8/19/09 5:24pm From: annie

oh wait.. when this is over.

Wed. 8/19/09 5:25pm From: annie

i am friends with one of his old girlfriends on FB..

Wed. 8/19/09 5:26pm From: Parq

In the liner notes to the "Sunday Street" album, Van Ronk commented that he always included a Joni Mitchell song on each album. For that, we can all be grateful.

Wed. 8/19/09 5:37pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Whose girlfriend, annie?

Wed. 8/19/09 5:39pm From: annie

dave van ronk.. one of MY fave performers..
