Sorry Irene, got to throw in a bit of baseball, five hits off 'The Dark Knight', the cheek of it from The Phillies. Promise I won't mention the beautiful game again during the show! | |

Holy cow, I thought this might be a track from Fairport or something. What a fantastic set. |

Circus Maximus ... oh that brings back memories - not to mention flashbacks | |
Tue. 4/14/15 9:24pm

Heaven indeed! I'm at the limits of the FM signal, always listened on a tuner, with a ground wire, stuck in a potato..... | |

So, a progress report of KT - Before The Dawn video - nope. Still nothing. UNGLAUBLISCH. |

Japan / David Sylvian would seem to go pretty good with this set actually. So would some obscure Sally Oldfield :D |

Folks, is 91.1FM solid for other folks? On my side in Brooklyn (Bay Ridge) it seems staticish with some local interference, but not too sure if that is just me or something else. |

Van in DC:
Folks - the Sallyangie from the Oldfields - Mike & Sally... that was when they were teenagers, and was their very first effort at recording. Talk about obscure! And Irene caught it! Wow. I am completely amazed. I will be donating more to FMU in her honor. |
Tue. 4/14/15 10:06pm
Hugh:
91.1 is being stepped on, it's range has been drastically cut. I'm about 25-30 miles, south of the transmitter, the signal used to extend another 30 miles south, no longer, now. FMU is only 1,500 watts. | |
![]() |
Tue. 4/14/15 10:07pm
JakeGould:
@Hugh: So you mean that in the last day or so 91.1FM has been spotty for you? |

Tue. 4/14/15 10:10pm
Van in DC:
Okay, I will definitely be donating more to FMU in Irene's name tomorrow. Minimum Mouse of The Day pledge. Ya'll all join me, k? www.wfmu.org... |

Thank you Irene. Your show is a treasure. | |

JakeGould:
Great show Irene! Nice Herbie Hancock. And for some reason now the signal seems a bit better. Before I was getting some local interference every few seconds it seems. Don’t know if that was just me or something else. |
Tue. 4/14/15 10:39pm
Santos L Halper:
This ...Midnight sounds great. Looks like I missed a good show but was seeing a great Dylan show instead. Highly recommended, I must say. Catch you on the archive Irene! | |
![]() |
![]() Hey B, rsj and Jake, glad the signal's reaching you okay. Santos, I think seeing Dylan was a good excuse for missing the show. How was he? |

![]() Santos, that's good to hear. My husband & I passed on Dylan this time because he had been more erratic than ever the last couple of times we've seen him. Wow, manuel! Glad to have you-- you might be my first listener from Mexico! Van, I finally got around to getting this Daughter album. Thanks for pushing me! |

I thought Ken Nordine was Arch Oboler for a second. Wondering if it was later than I thought it was. It was! I thought it was 11:30pm and it is really 11:43pm. |
![]() |
![]() Ah, Arch Obler! Lights Out? I don't really remember what he sounded like. |
![]() |
![]() Oh, Van, those appearances were a couple of years ago. I'm hoping they'll get him back. I don't know if I'll be able to snag him for WFMU but I'll try. |

Tue. 4/14/15 11:47pm

Yup, they sound similar. Here is “Cat Wife” “Lights out… Everybody… It… is… Later… Than… You… Think…” www.youtube.com... |

This reminds me a little of Jack Cassidy's narration of the classic Night Gallery segment "The Last Laurel" Anyone remember it? | |

Tue. 4/14/15 11:55pm
Van in DC:
Google "Daughter live Air Studios" :) |
![]() |
![]() No, I don't remember him on Night Gallery unfortunately. I'll bet it's on You Tube somewhere. On that note-- Good night everyone! Thanks for tuning into tonight's meandering show. |

I was wrong. Daughter HAS been played before at FMU, but not very much... |
