Is Ken visiting his dad's $$$$ in the Swiss bank? Yes, we know.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:18pm Irwin:

  Wed. 6/16/10 3:32pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Amanda's voice always makes me stop whatever I'm doing. I have no choice but to listen.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Between Tuesday and Thursday is Amandaday. Thanks for the Amanda coverage.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:33pm whats up with arms:

my coworkers are afraid to ask right now.......
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:34pm Matt from Springfield:

POWER CHILD!
I know what the Amanda "samples" from the Beatles' White Album are, but does anyone know what songs are in the background of her other tracks, like "Me At Friday's" and "Lightning Set My Butt On Fire"?
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:34pm ginger tim:

Joan Marie Polo dideo!

Primitive Swagger!!!! I wanna here that!
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:40pm Kevin in BK:

OH MY GOD! MORE AMANDA!!!!!!
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:41pm Lizardner Dave:

I suspect the Amanda archive is larger than the Jimi Hendrix archive. And thank God for that.

(Not intended as a shot at Hendrix).
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:41pm Cassettes:

We rule.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:42pm 7SD Listener:

How can you tell a live 7SD from a dead one? Matter of fact, they're all dead.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:43pm Matt from Springfield:

@Kevin in BK: You're right! I found a sample of "Flesh For Fantasy" and it's the exact music from "Me At Friday's".
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:44pm jan:

I am not sure if I should mention this, but the idea of more Amanda tracks being fedexed to Irwin for airing on this program does not excite me. Like many I was initially thrilled to hear Amanda, but the excitement has transformed into irritation. I know that the supporters of Amanda are very vocal, but does anyone feel as I do?
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:45pm ?:

meow.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:48pm Matt from Springfield:

Incidentally...
MORE AMANDA! We're waiting on Box Sets and Anthologies now! I wanna hear "Insane Girl" and "Profane Thoughts On A Car Trip".
@jan: I'm a steady fan, but hey, diff strokes for diff folks.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:48pm Denise in Washington, DC:

jan, please note that in my earlier comment about Amanda, I did not say I stop to listen to her out of pleasure.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:49pm Mr de Sade:

Amanda is not about pleasure.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:49pm Denise in Washington, DC:

And this past pledge drive was the first one in years during which I did not request Irwin's premium.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:50pm Jim Duffy:

Ah, I could tell this was Mose, even without hearing any singing. Cool stuff!
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:51pm not jan:

amanda is necessity
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:52pm Paging Dr.Bowie:

are you still afraid of americans?
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:52pm Bowie:

Young Americans.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:54pm jan:

that reminds me- I have the Amanda CD due to my long standing support of Irwin's programming and other DJs. In this case, the premium felt more like a penalty.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:54pm Speculation:

Nest year's premium: the Amanda tribute album, with covers by everyone from Miley C. to Keili
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:54pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Damn, this mashup is genius.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:55pm Kevin in BayRidge:

Amanda is but a part of the great tapestry ( forgive me for the Don & Carole allusions!) that is Irwin's show. That being said, the rug has some real frayed edges.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:56pm nestor:

them hills :)
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:56pm RICCARDO:

TEMPTATIONS VS POLICE VERY GOOD
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:57pm Matt from Springfield:

Amanda mentioned last summer in The Amanda Chronicles interview that one of her first recordings was Sade's "Smooth Operator", which she loved at the time. Did Joseph say if he found that one?
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:59pm nestor:

oh, sweet. yay.
  Wed. 6/16/10 3:59pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Hey, this Children's Chorus version is fun.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:00pm Matt from Springfield:

I second (or third or fourth) approval of GHP -- every mashup is excellent.

In response to this I would have to recommend Team9's "Confused Imagination" -- Temptations' "Ball Of Confusion" vs. John Lennon's "Imagine" -- better than the orig Ball of Confusion.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:00pm Spankyflop:

I used to find Amanda irritating, but much the way a grain of sand starts as an irritation to an oyster, I Amanda has become a pearl to me.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:01pm Kevin in BK:

actually, jan. i think that's called indigestion.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:01pm Lizardner Dave:

I could listen to 3 hours of nothing but Amanda. Then again, I've been listening to Kenny G's archives while he's off the air.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:03pm Battle of the Sexes:

Why are the Amanda-lovers mainly male, and the Amanda-haters mainly female? Sup widdat?
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:04pm Kevin in BK:

i always love it when someone drifts into this program having never heard amanda. i think we take her for granted.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:12pm jan:

to clear up any ambiguity- this jan is all male.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:12pm Paging Dr. Bowie:

uh doc.. see i have this friend.. and well.. is that normal ?
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:15pm Dr. Bowie:

Well, boys DO keep swinging. Take some Ashes and call me in a decade.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:16pm nestor:

super happy :)
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:16pm Troublemaker:

Where do metrosexuals fall on the male-female contiuum?
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:18pm Denise in Washington, DC:

I had just hit the "stop" button on the stream to listen to something for work when the first three notes of the Suddenly, Tammy! song came out of the speaker. I had no idea who it was, but I had to turn the stream back on to hear the song.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:21pm Denise in Washington, DC:

iow, they're great.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:22pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

Jan, they're always thinking you're a "she", but you're what, like Dutch or something?
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:23pm jan:

Twelve-Year Old Scotch- now that is an arresting sound. Very nice, Irwin.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:25pm Paging Dr. Bowie:

ok Doc.. i hope it doesnt put me where things are hollow..
by then i will be in my golden years.. oh man!
by the way.. what is it that you like in the limo?
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:25pm jan:

born on Long Island, live in NYC and spend a lot of time in NJ.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:28pm BSI:

wheeee! hour of pain!
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:28pm Kenny G Amanda mashup:

now *that* would be an hour of pain...
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:32pm jan:

That second cut- Everybody Says I'm Beautiful - I either need some scotch or he needs more scotch. That was pure treacle.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:37pm jan:

but wow- ultimate spinach- never got to that cut on the record- took it off the turntable after hearing a few bars of 'funny freak parade' back when it was a new album. that wasn't bad. And it's always great to hear Jessica Kane.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:38pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

so you gave Ultimate Spinach one chance, and they failed you? well, at least 40 years later they get another chance!
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:41pm KC in MKE:

Can't believe I missed Amanda and Ultimate Spinach, archives again for me. Not so sure about Jessica Kane, I feel I'm cheating on Amanda.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:42pm Taking Bets:

Anyone think Jessica Kane would appreciate Amanda?
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:43pm David Antin:

I'd bet should wouldn't.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:44pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

but I'd bet she would! She seems like a weirdo
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:47pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

http://blackgemrecords.com/gallery/v/solditems/mexia.jpg.html
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:47pm Matt from Springfield:

Jessica Kane's track "Rip Van Winkle": Six out of Five stars. It's great even for Jessica.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:49pm wally:

sheit zu! im'a doin tha f f funky ch ch chicken!
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:51pm Laura L:

@DCE, thanks for that link--I was wondering if the Mexia kid just needed some Nasonex.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:57pm Diki Birdie:

what, you live a Fatima Mansion?
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:58pm Prattle of the Sexes:

Jessica Kane is the Male version of Too Much Information.
  Wed. 6/16/10 4:59pm Llamassss:

whoa, i am SO high!
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:00pm Ten Pole:

  Wed. 6/16/10 5:02pm Fodder:

  Wed. 6/16/10 5:02pm Aw Shucks:

"Bambi" is such a classic...
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:03pm Andrew Zimmern:

Mmmmm, that is some tasty bloody Bambi marrow. So fantastically gamey. Great eatin'.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:04pm Laura L:

  Wed. 6/16/10 5:12pm Ismael:

Bing, bink, bing. Lookout! Here comes the rotting gunk!
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:17pm Bangles:

Walk like an Amandan.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:21pm KC in MKE:

Irwin - Any chance Amanda will be visiting from Alabama again? (hint hint)
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:26pm Irwin:

@KC: Don't know. She has a f/t job and she's 1,000 miles away. Hope she returns. Maybe when the newly discovered material is showcased.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:33pm Fodder:

Music to work by. My productivity has increased two fold and the girls look at me when I pass them by. Must be something in the programing. I do not know. Thank you Chusid Industries, thank you.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:34pm Irwin:

I am your humble manservant, o GodFodder.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:34pm Genre Surfing Chicks:

That Fodder's kinda cute, ya think?
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:38pm Denise in Washington, DC:

WHAT? Amanda's old enough to have a JOB?
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:42pm Fodder:

Now the romantic piano stylings of Lennie set the mood as we are all transported from our mundane jobs to a sidewalk cafe at dusk with 23 bottles of aged red. BAM! What's that? Damn, a deadline, okay back to work...
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:43pm Fodder:

Okay, one more interjection before I get back to "IT".... this Broadcast album with Focus Group is highly recommended. Been a favorite for months now. Good good stuff!
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:44pm The IT Girls:

Back to us, huh?
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:45pm Fodder:

I'll be right there! Hold yer horses, didn't I give you back issues of LCD to read with a bottle of red wine? On my way, I have 15 minutes to study and review more of the Chusid Industries Program.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:47pm Everly Brothers:

All you have to do is dream, dream dream dream...
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:49pm Cheap Trick:

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:50pm michael jordan:

ma fuckin dream team
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:51pm Super Duper Tramp:

Dreamer, you silly little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
No there's not a lot I can do.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:53pm trs:

Bedder late than never.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:54pm Dr. Winston O Boogie:

#9 Dream man.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:54pm jan:

Irwin- are you digging through the early days of AOR- maybe I heard this played by scott muni or jonathan schwartz or rosco on wnew- right after ultimate spinach.
  Wed. 6/16/10 5:55pm trs:

Er, bester jester than mister
  Sat. 7/3/10 12:53am Rick:
