oops, wrong hat.....

Wed. 9/16/09 3:02pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

more of the same is good enough for now.

[upside down exclamation mark]Hola Irwin!

i wanna sexu up

Wed. 9/16/09 3:10pm From: Carmichael

TMI, Pat ....

Wed. 9/16/09 3:11pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

kickass version. Last week or two weeks ago somebody requested the original be played, I think on Irene's show. The request was taunted.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:11pm From: PMD

dc pat, there's some construction going on around here that they need your butt for.

Or you could just google any weird character and copy-and-paste into the comments. That works too.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:19pm From: dc pat

Carm, TMI=Three Mile Island? I grew up about 10 miles from there.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:20pm From: GP

Joining melee voluntarily. Afternoon Irwin.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:21pm From: GP

DC PAT,
You must be a Texas fan or maybe Tennessee, or Oklahoma State, or.....just have "issues"

Wed. 9/16/09 3:25pm From: Carmichael

Oh good, I don't have to wait until I get home to hear 4 hours of Miley.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:25pm From: mikey cyrus

Thanyou for this!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:25pm From: PMD

Aunt Ipodes and Ike - thanks! Both would require effort... alas. Perhaps in the future I will indeed do it correctly. Or just not write in Spanish...

Wed. 9/16/09 3:27pm From: dc pat

GP: nope, not a Dutch soccer fan either.

Irwin this music is REALLY rockin!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:27pm From: Taylor Swift

what am i, chopped liver? well, apparently kanye thinks so.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:28pm From: Ike

Wow, this M.C. song actually isn't terrible.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:28pm From: Chris

Humph, those kids should have been filling arenas for Amanda.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:29pm From: dc pat

I think I'm going to have to wash my brain out now.

wait a minute, Ike, what happened? I thought I could count on you to hate this crap too???

Wed. 9/16/09 3:29pm From: Carmichael

Ike, I'd be glad to send you her entire catalog, freshly pried from the hands of my daughters. With no return address.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:29pm From: Parq

¿Qué?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:30pm From: Lizardner Dave

You know, if you substituted his voice for hers this Miley song would not sound out of place on the last few Bob Mould records. Not sure what that says about either of them. Make yer own conclusions. Or adventures. Whatever.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:30pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I wanna be a wannabe singing bitch.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:31pm From: Kris

so do I

Wed. 9/16/09 3:32pm From: guess who :-P

WORSHIPPPPPPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:32pm From: Tiffany

It's easy, really!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:32pm From: GP

DC <Dutch soccer fan>..LOL... good one

Wed. 9/16/09 3:33pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

@ Carmichael

I'm glad my daughter is only 10 mos old and will never be "into" Miley, but who knows what new tragedy of a tween pop star will creep up on the horizon by then.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:33pm From: Parq

Wait, is the show over already?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:34pm From: Antípodas

Que dejaron de fumar nunca ganan.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:34pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

an omellete sounds pretty good right now.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:34pm From: dc pat

GP: Actually what I do on game day is where my orange underwear, white Levis, and Irish national soccer jersey--I'm a freakin Irish flag MUHFUH!!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:34pm From: ?

I wanna hear Julia covering 1980s Madonna material!!!!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:35pm From: Meghan

wow Irwin... where on earth did you find this?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:35pm From: Parq

<who knows what new tragedy> etc.

The way the entertainment industry is run nowadays, I'm sure the top brass at SONY, Disney and Warner all know what pre-teen idol is going to be popular 10 or so years from now.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:35pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I like the way she says "Butter"

Wed. 9/16/09 3:36pm From: 7pointedstar

Best thing to play ever! this kicks ass

Wed. 9/16/09 3:36pm From: Ike

LD, I'm not sure I'd go quite THAT far. But you're not totally wrong either. DC Pat, maybe the Terry Reid cock rock smegginess primed me to appreciate some fem-rock. Though the squeals of the pre-teen girls were unbearable and sounded staged too.

Carm -- har har har! I'll pass.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:36pm From: Julia {singing}

We get the best. of. both. eggs!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:36pm From: Carmichael

The same way Rush Limbaugh says "cabbage".

Wed. 9/16/09 3:36pm From: devb

Holy crap, I just watched this video two days ago!

Jiggle*Jiggle*Jiggle

Wed. 9/16/09 3:37pm From: GP

73,291 fans filling Reliant stadium in H-town to see Miley is hard to argue with.
When she is of age I plan to marry her, and also the Olsen twins, and Taylor Swift ( we shall live in Utah), then I will own you all...<evil Laugh> bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'll have more money than even Oprah!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:37pm From: dc pat

well my daughter is 8 years old and so far still listens to Beatles, Kinks, John Denver, Ramones, Sham 69, Clash, etc...cross my fingers...

Wed. 9/16/09 3:38pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

sounds like a good kid! My boy likes the Linkin Park thing...yechh...

Wed. 9/16/09 3:38pm From: Lizardner Dave

Nobody should be afraid of butter. RIP Julia.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:39pm From: Carmichael

@Parq: do you think the Spears girls getting knocked up was some kind of country love accident?? Disney is creating the bizarro master race.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:40pm From: Laura L

The mellifluous Julia Child! I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon thinking about leathery omelettes now. A beautiful manner of expression with wonderfully aspirated "h"s when she says "hot" or "heat." Touché!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:41pm From: dc pat

cheers to butter!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:41pm From: Mr Kerr's assistant

Where's that wine?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:42pm From: dc pat

galloping gourmet!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:42pm From: tv chefs

we help morons who can't fix eggs.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:42pm From: Meghan

I did an art piece to this... Had to draw a slide show to accompany the song.... I totally forgot about this!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:43pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

respect yr damn eggs.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:43pm From: GP

Saw "Julie and Julia" it was pretty good. Julia was nothing but class. Meryl Streep was so go that you forgot it was her you were watching and not Julia...anyway

Wed. 9/16/09 3:43pm From: Ike

I love Negativland. Their "Over the Edge Vol. 2: Pastor Dick: Muriel's Purse Fund" was one of the first weird audio things I enjoyed as a kid and helped get me out of top-40 sludge.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:45pm From: bert feggs

I smell eggs cooking? Did someone fart?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:45pm From: PMD

Parq - show off...

Wed. 9/16/09 3:45pm From: Thylvethter

Thuffferin' thucotath, it'th a thilly thymphony!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:48pm From: Parq

Ike, I'd love to know, how did you get turned on to Neg'land at that age?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:49pm From: Laurie

I just wanted to share that I have a pathological fear of eggs. I can eat baked goods that have eggs mixed into it, sure, but not eggs alone. I don't like the smell, the texture or the taste, no sir.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:51pm From: dc pat

you can say "wank" on air?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:52pm From: chicken fetuses

yeah, leave us friggin' alone!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:52pm From: Ike

Parq, a cool friend introduced me to them, of course. He was one or two years older. He probably heard about them from a guy who supposedly just randomly bought strange-looking stuff at the Sam Goody, or more likely, a whole chain of word-of-mouth. That's how we had to do it in a rural Maryland in the early '90s with no good radio. (This friend also introduced me to Stump, whom I loved, and tried to get me into Skinny Puppy, which didn't do it for me at ALL.)

Wed. 9/16/09 3:53pm From: John McCabe in LA

An insanely creepy fan of Miley Cyrus’ was arrested for stalking her, but was then let go due to jail overcrowding

Wed. 9/16/09 3:54pm From: Laura L

And now the mellifluous Clientele. Thank you!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:54pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

man I hope the Clientele come back stateside soon! It's been two years since I saw them.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:56pm From: Laura L

Clientele has a new disc coming out next month, so here's hoping...

Wed. 9/16/09 3:56pm From: chuck in ct

hi irwin ........great show as always!!!!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:56pm From: John Waters

Laurie - Watch Pink Flamingos and accept...you are the anti-Edie!

Wed. 9/16/09 3:58pm From: Ike

My aunt Cookie was in Pink Flamingos.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:59pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

wonder whatever happened to Cookie, Edie, and the chicken-loving brother. where are they now?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:59pm From: dc pat

no way Ike. What part did she play?

Wed. 9/16/09 3:59pm From: chuck in ct

cookie muller i know max her son on the cape

Wed. 9/16/09 3:59pm From: GP

My kids have heard just about everything from FMU. They absolutely love the "Corn Weenie" song from Ken's show and it has made the rounds of the junior high....just doing my part to spread the FMU love.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:00pm From: chuck in ct

cookie died of aids in 88 edie in 83

Wed. 9/16/09 4:01pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

well, that answers that.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:01pm From: chuck in ct

i loved cookies books too---met her to in 85

Wed. 9/16/09 4:03pm From: chuck in ct

to bad most of the cast is dead now......great films ...

Wed. 9/16/09 4:05pm From: Ike

Yeah, Max calls every Xmas.

More on Cookie:

Wed. 9/16/09 4:05pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Pink Flamingoes fucked me up so bad I had to paint "Babs, Babs, when will the Egg Man come?" on my van.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:10pm From: GP

Yet again I lean something new on FMU, I guess I need to find some Cookie Mueller movies to check out.

Ike..that is cool

Wed. 9/16/09 4:11pm From: te

haven't listened to a word of this so far, not planning on starting now, so could you end this song already?

Wed. 9/16/09 4:12pm From: PMD

Wicked Hemlock is wicked! (in a good way)

Wed. 9/16/09 4:14pm From: Parq

Te, you really missed something, that track was amazing. I couldn't tune it out, and as an FMU office listerner, I've gotten pretty good at doing that.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:16pm From: anne

love the young ones!

Wed. 9/16/09 4:17pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Anne, there's usually laws against that sort of thing.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:17pm From: ???

has anyone ever heard sonic boom talk????
he sounds a LOT like neil...

Wed. 9/16/09 4:17pm From: Janet H

you no lika me jokey?

Wed. 9/16/09 4:20pm From: ???

hey man

Wed. 9/16/09 4:20pm From: Richard

Where is Amanda this week?

Wed. 9/16/09 4:21pm From: Parq

That Neil track was the best stereo-test record I've ever heard. I love the way Brits pronounce "record", like the second syllable has eight letters.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:22pm From: NS Andy

Ahhhh.... Moondog and Strings. So soothing....

Wed. 9/16/09 4:27pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Wed. 9/16/09 4:48pm From: GP

Joy Division..cool....there was a band in the FMU studios studios yesterday. think they were called "Mattress"...reminded me a lot early of Joy Division.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:51pm From: PMD

The obvious: My greatest pet peeve is people who itemize their pet peeves.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:51pm From: miles

Ok, I'm here. Now what?

Wed. 9/16/09 4:52pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

now listen to Fountains of Wang.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:56pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

that slide guitar is really cool, but I'm not convinced they're sincere.

Wed. 9/16/09 4:57pm From: Parq

DCE, there are fountains outside the Wang Building on Third Ave? I always wonder, do younger east-siders need it explained to them why that building is called "Wang"?

Wed. 9/16/09 5:00pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't remember I owned a book by Cookie Mueller until I went to the website Ike posted and recognized one of the covers.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:02pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

This has got to be Karen Carpenter.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:03pm From: papaya man

I was thinking the same thing denise.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:03pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

If it's really this Kera O'Bryon person, she must be Karen reincarnated. I'm getting goosebumps.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:04pm From: Lewis

indeed - that must have been Karen Carpenter...

Wed. 9/16/09 5:05pm From: Laura L

What's the story with Kera O'Bryon--a dead ringer for Carpenter if that wasn't her--clue us in!

Wed. 9/16/09 5:06pm From: Irwin

Google.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:08pm From: GP

This is actually pretty funny.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:09pm From: Tom Mabe

Hey, anybody got Albert's phone number handy?

Wed. 9/16/09 5:10pm From: GP

Irwin please scan your pet peeve list and post it on your blog.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:11pm From: Parq

Yeah, that faux Carpenter was really something. I was sure I was 17 again. But then the guy from next door came in and slapped me until I stopped screaming.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:13pm From: Laura L

I Bing'd her instead of Googled, on account of Google being on my pet peeve list. Da-yam, Kera's good.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:18pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I'm not finding much about her via Google, and nothing at all about her music (except for singing the National Anthem at some DC event). Will try Bing.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:21pm From: Laura L

http://www.voiceoveruniverse.com/profile/KeraOBryon

Wed. 9/16/09 5:24pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Thanks, Laura. I don't see anything about where to get her music, though.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:27pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

She does seem to have appeared in a movie about the Rapture . . . . http://www.capalert.com/capreports/gathering.htm

Wed. 9/16/09 5:29pm From: Laura L

I didn't either, but you might find something though this fellow. She even opened the festivities for the National Funeral Directors Association. Now, that's gotta be a good time!

Wed. 9/16/09 5:32pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Not only that, but she appears to be the NFDA's favorite singer: she's opened for them four times.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:34pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Irwin, where did you get that recording of Kera? Is it from your personal collection?

Wed. 9/16/09 5:35pm From: thomas

this is one of the best clare de lune versions ive ever heard!!!!!

Wed. 9/16/09 5:36pm From: Irwin

The artist provided it, Denise. Don't know if it's commercially available. I'll inquire.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:37pm From: jan

so Isao Tomita and Yann Tomita- related to each other?

Wed. 9/16/09 5:37pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Thank you, Irwin.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:38pm From: Parq

@Denise: I'm afraid I'm totally out to lunch on who NFDA is.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:40pm From: Laura L

Parq--refers to the National Funeral Directors Association noted above.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:40pm From: National Funeral Directors Association

we are the NFDA.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:42pm From: Not Funny Driving Alcoholically

No, we are the NFDA.

Wed. 9/16/09 5:42pm From: National Funeral Directors Association

...and people are dying to work with us...

I liked Shania! I'm old now!

Wed. 9/16/09 5:50pm From: annie

Hello. Er, look, I'm sorry I'm a bit late. I've had the most ghastly time, all sorts of things cropping up at the last moment.
Er, how are we for time? Have I just got a min—

And so the Universe ended (and also Irwin's show)

Wed. 9/16/09 7:56pm From: Cathy w/a C

Center for the Dull...how cool was that? As I was driving my 18 year old college boy son to the Park Slope Barnes and Noble, that song came on. He enjoys obscure radio shows from the low end of the FM dial and we frequently listen to FMU when we're in the car together.
