Wed. 10/21/09 3:15pm From: Bad Ronald

I think it would be worse w/just one O.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:16pm From: G(oo) P(oo)

Wed. 10/21/09 3:17pm From: GP

Wed. 10/21/09 3:18pm From: G

Crucifixion? Good. Out of the door. Line on the left. One cross each.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:20pm From: Spankyflop

How about 78's gone wobbly week? Maybe the Old Codger could put the heat on....

Wed. 10/21/09 3:21pm From: doug from DC

Irwin, you are a contrarian's contrarian.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:21pm From: Irwin

Doug, you're WRONG!

Wed. 10/21/09 3:22pm From: John McCabe in LA

crap, i missed Daniel Johnson

Wed. 10/21/09 3:23pm From: GP

Can we start the Contrary Contrarian Curmudgeon Society?

Wed. 10/21/09 3:24pm From: Mr. Obvious

No, we can't!

Wed. 10/21/09 3:27pm From: GP

Hmmm..a curious conundrum has been created.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:30pm From: BSI

How much for a yard of curious conundrum?

Wed. 10/21/09 3:31pm From: doug from DC

Conundrum is sold by the pound, not by the yard.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:32pm From: BSI

...pound of pomplamoose?

Wed. 10/21/09 3:36pm From: They

If you can't con over 'em....conundrum.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:36pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Damn. Missed the Mizzy tribute. Had the stream going, but wasn't paying attention. Probably somebody was demanding that I perform actual work. Damn them.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:41pm From: dc pat

alright we have Denise, Doug, BSI, PMD, me...who else is in DC? I think it's usually about half the commenters.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:43pm From: GP

Worst. Fake Accents. Ever.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:44pm From: PMD

Does anyone else have the stream stuttering?

Wed. 10/21/09 3:45pm From: Jim

One of those guys sounds a lot like Jerry Clower, except that he never throws in a "Haw!!!"

Wed. 10/21/09 3:45pm From: BSI

flesh fingers danglin'?!?!?!

PMD, stream OK over here. So far.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:46pm From: Chalton Heston

Miracle Grow potting soil is ... people!

Wed. 10/21/09 3:47pm From: dc pat

PMD: I've had trouble here and there.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:48pm From: PMD

Like every 15-20 seconds. Tried a bunch of different streams.

Janet 2 Hoo! I like that. Um, better than Joo 2 Hoo

Wed. 10/21/09 3:48pm From: Soylent Green Inc.

I call trademark violation. You'll be hearing from my solicitor forthwith.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:49pm From: dc pat

nah, more like every 20 minutes or so for me.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:50pm From: Janet H

my streaming is good.....no 2 Hoo

Wed. 10/21/09 3:50pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

No stream trouble here. I'm using Firefox and Real Player.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:50pm From: PMD

OK, we'll see how it goes. Made it through 2 minutes so far. Woo hoo!
dc Pat -There are many more DC'ers out there, but afraid to write. Government control and all...

Wed. 10/21/09 3:54pm From: Janet H

i live in indiana

Wed. 10/21/09 3:55pm From: GP

No thanks. I'll take Jennifer Charles lips instead.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:56pm From: PMD

Oh, ps, thanks all for letting me know your stream status...
BTW, I actually met someone my age who hadn't see Soylent Green! Shocking.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:57pm From: GP

My lo-fi 32k MP3 stream is all good...has been all day.

Wed. 10/21/09 3:59pm From: dc pat

hey Irwin, what is East AAhranj?

Wed. 10/21/09 3:59pm From: Janet H

listening 128k mp3 on itunes...sounds great!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:02pm From: doug from DC

My connection was fine, but my WMP stream just died. I reconnected at 32K, using RealPlayer.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:03pm From: GP

Split Enz!!!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:03pm From: Irwin

Pat: East Orange was the original base of WFMU, and our license was issued in that city (in 1958). Hence, we are obligated by FCC fiat to identify ourselves that way at the top of each hour. But we ain't there, and ain't been since 1998.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:04pm From: jan

Just don't get these twangy guitars and upper register male singers you have on just about every show these days, Irwin, and I've been following you for 30 years. How do you explain this evolution in your taste?

Wed. 10/21/09 4:08pm From: Tiny Tim ( with uke )

Did someone request upper register male singers?

Wed. 10/21/09 4:09pm From: Irwin

Jan: Does Miley Cyrus count? And Star Country? I still loves me some lower register--and lotsa piano (tho not necessarily all at once).

Wed. 10/21/09 4:09pm From: Dong Sun

I sing high Korean

Wed. 10/21/09 4:10pm From: flatrich

Been following you for more than 30 years and you still taste the same to me...

Wed. 10/21/09 4:12pm From: jan

From What I seen on the TV, Miley Cyrus is a female, sounds like one, too. Maybe it's just a phase, and you will out grow it soon. I haven't lost my loving feeling for you yet, sung in a bass register

Wed. 10/21/09 4:12pm From: Irwin

How-day, Rich!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:13pm From: flatrich

Doody, Irwin :o)>

Wed. 10/21/09 4:14pm From: jan

yahh, this sounds good- i turned it back up loud for New Day, Sounds from the ground etc.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:20pm From: Carmichael

Dead WMP stream!!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:22pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Late to the party (and conversation), as usual -- I just saw SOYLENT GREEN when TCM did a Charlton Heston tribute after he died.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:23pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Saw it for the first time, that is.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:26pm From: jan

it's twangy again!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:34pm From: dan in falls church VA

really dug the Brother Kite track.

Hey, Denise in Washington, DC, it's dan in falls church VA!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:35pm From: Jan

Al Cooper- that's the piano you speak of...he does sing in an upper register. But he was such a poet and a great artist. Plays a mean B3 too.
Would enjoy more of his music, 'specially from Blues Project. But that was all so long ago, and I look to you for introductions to the new!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:36pm From: BSI

RAAAAAAHHHH!
Nick the frikkin' BARD!!!!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:37pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Nick the Bard sounds like a Misterogers character.

Dan in falls church va -- hi!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:37pm From: ManDrone

I thought this was the DJ being silly at first...

Wed. 10/21/09 4:39pm From: dan in falls church VA

so did I!

I wonder how long this is gonn go on?

Wed. 10/21/09 4:40pm From: CatfishKing

More evidence that all WFMU DJ's are sickos that love dragging us through the muck with them!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:41pm From: PMD

7 inches of Amanda!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:41pm From: BSI

RAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
Aman-frikkin'-DAAAAA!!!!!!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:41pm From: PMD

dc pat, I think Dan in Falls Church counts as the great DC metro area.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:42pm From: GP

Amanda on 45?........ Sheaya, right..
But we still love her.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:43pm From: dan in falls church VA

Hi PMD. The City of Falls Church lies merely seven miles east of Washington DC itself!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:43pm From: Carmichael

How am I supposed to listen to Amanda with a dead WMP stream?!?!?

Doron, do you know IT CPR?

Wed. 10/21/09 4:44pm From: BSI

GP, seriously, I'd buy a 7" of Concrete Nipples / Worship Me.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:44pm From: blue woogy

could use some aural KY...

Wed. 10/21/09 4:45pm From: college park md

whew

Wed. 10/21/09 4:46pm From: GP

BSI - me too! I'd like Irwin to interview her again, I miss big Amanda.

Irwin, is this the only running/track related song in the universe?

Wed. 10/21/09 4:48pm From: Ren

Crooning.!....KROONING.!!.... K R O O N I N G !!!!

Wed. 10/21/09 4:49pm From: PMD

Dan, I know. I live in Arlington. Work in DC... I meant to write greater DC area. dc Pat was asking because we want to form a coalition to have WFMU do something down in our area for a change.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:53pm From: doug from DC

PMD, I would be interested in this coalition, too.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:53pm From: trent

nice song

Wed. 10/21/09 4:55pm From: A legitimate D.J. question

Who originally did this "My Boys" song. My Googler is disabled.

Thank you kind sir or perhaps a wiling listener might chime in.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:55pm From: jan

Irwin: can you make a marathon premium with Koichi Sugii and the like?
In other words, you could make a novelty premium for those who like to laugh and then a serious one for those who might want to listen to your
premium cd more than once. just a suggestion...

Wed. 10/21/09 4:57pm From: GP

Ah ha..found it "My Girls" by Animal Collective...I knew I head that melody before.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:58pm From: GP

I'm not really form Maine...I just forgot to put an "r" in head, thus head = heard.

Wed. 10/21/09 4:58pm From: mabeuse

Jeff..thanks, but what I really want to know is if he is truly a professional bard or if he is operating with false credentials?

Wed. 10/21/09 5:17pm From: mabeuse

aaahh its the tingler!!! black mustasche is mustafa hamsho

Wed. 10/21/09 5:18pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps having this same exact dream.

Wed. 10/21/09 5:20pm From: Nick the Bard

I was dubbed this by Professor Dum Dum years ago, so make your own conclusions from that maybe?

Wed. 10/21/09 5:23pm From: blue woogy

oh johnny johnny.. whoops johnny.. giahnnnny!!

Wed. 10/21/09 5:26pm From: GP

Nick, that seems like an official decree to me, so be it, from this day hence be it forever known around the realm.
Over and out, etc. etc.

Wed. 10/21/09 5:27pm From: Lizardner Dave

This is some seven inch!

Wed. 10/21/09 5:28pm From: Johnny Wadd

Seven inch? BAH!

Wed. 10/21/09 5:28pm From: mabeuse

hey John Scott filled out my program toooo! go figure!!

Wed. 10/21/09 5:30pm From: Jeff M

This piece set me to looking up the CBS Radio Workshop. Found a description of a sound effect they crafted:

"It took three radio sound men, a control-room engineer and five hours of hard work to create the sound that was heard for less than 30 seconds on the air. The sound consisted of a ticking metronome, tom-tom beats, bubbling water, air hose, cow moo, boing! (two types), oscillator, dripping water (two types) and three kinds of wine glasses clicking against each other. Judiciously blended and recorded on tape, the effect was still not quite right. Then the tape was played backward with a little echo added. That did it. The sound depicted the manufacturing of babies in the radio version of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. "

Dunno if I want to sit through the whole production, but now I really want to hear that sound effect!

I repeat to myself: cow moo, boing! (two types); cow moo, boing! (two types); cow moo, boing! (two types).

Wed. 10/21/09 5:33pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Yeah, why does baby manufacturing always involve the sound of a cow mooing?

Wed. 10/21/09 5:33pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

We DC-area folks shouldn't wait for 'FMU to do something for us -- we should just throw a party!

Wed. 10/21/09 5:34pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

This play reminds me of Judson Fountain.

Wed. 10/21/09 5:39pm From: BSI

That Piazzola LP is def. one of my top ten in the collection. It's a mixed bag up there, that top ten...

Wed. 10/21/09 5:50pm From: GeorgeSimian

Coldplay?! You're not playing Coldplay! Stop!

Wed. 10/21/09 5:51pm From: Jeff M

Irwin IS a rebel.

Wed. 10/21/09 5:52pm From: GeorgeSimian

They play this in funeral parlors

Wed. 10/21/09 5:53pm From: georgeSimian

Ah, much better

Wed. 10/21/09 5:53pm From: jan

yeah, George- speak out. I've been battling this chirpy music all afternoon, but Irwin just keeps on playing it. He marches to his own drum.

Wed. 10/21/09 5:54pm From: shmoopy

i think the streets have no name. jeez i dont know

Wed. 10/21/09 5:55pm From: bono
