	♥ 3:27pm coelacanth∅: wow!
	♥ 3:27pm steveo: i'm so glad that wfmu exists just at this moment
	3:27pm Dean: Inspired by Bouilla Tribe.
	3:27pm BronwynB: William was so cool and nice and I wish I had had more time to get to know him.
	♥ 3:27pm steveo: (i mean, and many other moments, but especially so at this one)
	♥ 3:30pm joe mulligan: he had a crush on Liz who?
	♥ 3:30pm Irwin: Phair.
	♥ 3:31pm Irwin: Then again, was she around then?
	3:31pm berbo: Also, The Shaggs. I mean, who doesn't?
	3:31pm BronwynB: That painting sort of reminds me of the Dylan Self Portrait album cover
	♥ 3:31pm Irwin: Oh, sorry -- you misheard. Viv Albertine.
	♥ 3:31pm coelacanth∅: really? i had a crush on Liz Phair!
	3:31pm nehoccramcire: thanks for this block, irwin
	♥ 3:32pm joe mulligan: haha, thanks Irwin! I love it
	3:33pm Ike: I'd imagine there were at least 2 or 3 Lizes, no?
	♥ 3:33pm steveo: I had a crush on Liz Taylor, years before I was born.
	♥ 3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell of a time to pop in. Man - I FUCKING LOVED WILLIAM BERGER.
	♥ 3:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not just as a Curator & Collator of an extraordinary & intense Genre I'd of course have been clueless about - but indeed his unpretentious outspokenness on facebook - Politically - unsparing, but - indeed - never ever unfriendly - indeed - always forthcoming & personable. Fucking Loved Him.
	3:39pm JakeGould: First, Irwin do you know of any “Hip Bone” episodes that are still around? Air check tapes? They should be digitally preserved.
	3:40pm Jack: @RRN63- Welcome back!
	3:40pm JakeGould: Also, I believe a Shooby Taylor billboard would actually bring people to the station. Young and old.
	3:40pm Laura L: These are all fun to hear, thank you, Irwin. The loosier, the better.
	3:40pm Dean: Chortling Newts has tons of anagrams, e.g., Clothing Strewn.
	♥ 3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Jack: Still no webz @ home: owe Landlord loads of cash - so no ComCast even yet...
	3:41pm Dean: Wretch Song Lint
	3:42pm BronwynB: william reached out and chatted with me on facebook before i was even on the wfmu staff and was just a volunteer. it made me feel welcome and everything considering what an iconic presence he was. i told this story in billy jam's comments last week but he patiently listened to me bitching about my nose and told me my nose was great the way it was. that was the last conversation i had with him and it will always stick in my mind, how sweet that was of him
	3:43pm Ike: I would volunteer to help digitize Hip Bone tapes, if any exist. I can't express how much I fucking loved the Hip Bone.
	♥ 3:43pm coelacanth∅: i have bits of the hip bone on cassette (along with bits of yer ol' pal Irwin) but it's all edited and mixed up and may even not have any William Berger speaking.
	3:43pm BronwynB: @Jake: A Shooby billboard would be amazing!
	♥ 3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: William told me in his youth he was known as a Tony Iommi (Sabbath) channeler - so it's odd I've finally been tuning down to Baritone & picking out actual Iommi licks just as I hear the sad news. Or - all in the Pattern...
	♥ 3:48pm Irwin: I couldn't remember that William plays guitar AND piano on Baby Lemonade.
	♥ 3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great faithful Syd cover. Drums on 'new rose'? Impressed already...
	3:52pm JakeGould: Since I’ve basically said I really don’t support the billboard (just gotta be blunt) I will say that WFMU having Kickstarter projects to archive old shows is something I would completely support. That stuff is historic, has a long tail and–in my humble opinion–be good for all. That’s all I gotta say on the subject.
	♥ 3:52pm Irwin: Not me on drums (New Rose). Maybe EFD.
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Gracias. Hasta Pronto.
	♥ 3:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin. rest in peace Wm.
	♥ 4:00pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Lisa Capilano.
	♥ 4:01pm coelacanth∅: ...and condolences, Irwin
	4:03pm stevie q: How do we get on a list for more info about wm burger's celebration?
	♥ 4:06pm Scott Williams: Thanks for the Bergerlove, Irwin. Twas Bryce on the Damned drums.
	♥ 4:07pm Irwin: SQ: Don't know. There isn't such a list yet, and I don't know how open to the public the memorial event will be. Ask around, is the best I can offer at this point.
	♥ 4:08pm Irwin: Who else on New Rose, vol-czar?
	♥ 4:12pm coelacanth∅: this Jimmy Smith is pretty hot
	♥ 4:12pm Mister Dobalina: Random questions, but is there any billboard news? Listenership gone up? Phone calls to the station about Manson?
	♥ 4:18pm Irwin: Pitchfork, AdWeek, and Brooklyn Vegan have written about the BB.
	4:19pm stevie q: U just said earlier to contact you for more info.
	♥ 4:22pm Irwin: SQ: Sorry, it was a general mention that there will be a memorial gathering, but I'm not involved in the coordination.
	♥ 4:24pm coelacanth∅: (Capiwano? ...appologies if i got that wrong, then or now)
	♥ 4:24pm Irwin: Lisa Capuano
	♥ 4:25pm Irwin: Grimble's Mill ... can't find any ref online to this band Wilson claims he was working with.
	♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145: - buy you a Ford Mustang -
	♥ 4:35pm Passaic River Blues: Yeah, the only thing on Grimble's Mill I found were two mentions in archived issues of Cash Box and Billboard from July 1968. "Disk product, both albums and singles, from the stable of Tom Wilson's Gunga Din Productions will flow through the facilities of MGM Records' 'Community of Labels' operation. … Two other groups, Grimble's Mill from Los Angeles and The Serfs from Wichita, Kansas, were discovered by Tom Wilson and Mark Joseph." www.americanradiohistory.com... Also didn't know there was a Music Factory record label for a time.
	♥ 4:38pm Passaic River Blues: Find this Mark Joseph guy, Irwin, and make him talk.
	♥ 4:39pm Scott Williams: @Irwin: Matt Fiveash on bass, me on guitar, Daddy Garbage kissing Wm's head at the end
	4:42pm ?: Wow that Wm. tribute put a smile on this mug - thanks Irwin! Making my day in many ways.
	♥ 4:44pm Irwin: When I pass and there's a memorial, I want it said that every week, wielding a vacuum cleaner, I left the main studio in better shape than it was when I arrived.
	4:44pm Dean: Grimble's Mill mentioned in Billboard, July 27, 1968, p.3. "Wilson Signs MGM Deal on 5 Artists."
	4:46pm Dean: Similar story in Variety, July 24, 1968, p.47.
	♥ 4:47pm Irwin: If only Lyle were on the comments board. I bet he jammed with the Grimble guys.
	♥ 4:48pm Carmichael: Who is Lisa Capuano?
	♥ 4:49pm Irwin: As I mentioned on the air, she was very involved in WFMU's financial survival. Worked closely with Ken on a number of projects. She passed unexpectedly a month ago.
	♥ 4:51pm Carmichael: Sorry to hear that, Irwin. I just tuned in a few minutes ago and was reading the comments ...
	♥ 4:51pm Passaic River Blues: Lyle would have a story about how Grimble's Mill was a fake band that served as a tax dodging scheme for Tom Wilson, Bebe Rebozo, and Allen Funt.
	♥ 4:51pm Irwin: And Liz Berg is gone from the building (but not from the planet). It's been a tough month for the station's extended family.
	♥ 4:52pm Irwin: I think Lyle sleeps deep into the afternoon, often joining the comments board after 5pm. Musician's hours.
	♥ 4:54pm BnowB: WB RIP .. love you wfmu
	♥ 4:59pm dale: can you start over next week irwin? i want to hear that sopwith camel commercial every week.
	5:02pm berbo: Spiritual cooking for your pets.
	♥ 5:03pm Barney Grubbs: did somebody say "polymers"? I could tell you a thing or two.
	♥ 5:03pm BnowB: Irwin just hearing your voice and humorous way on the airwaves all these years is beyond a gift. Thank you!
	♥ 5:04pm common: Irwin, all
	♥ 5:06pm Irwin: Ian Hunter wanted to be the new Dylan. Or the "next Dylan."
	5:07pm V Priceless: Irwin! common! Mott! Peoples! Hey new posthumous Overend Watts record is great, btw....rock!
	♥ 5:08pm BnowB: Irwin you no like compliments LOL you awesome! blush
	♥ 5:09pm Irwin: BnowB: Sprechen sie glockenspiel?
	♥ 5:09pm Irwin: One of the great names in rock: Overend Watts. Another guy in the band was just called "Buffin."
	♥ 5:10pm BnowB: gawd now i gotta go to google translator
	♥ 5:10pm dale: this is epic - procul harum epic.
	♥ 5:11pm Aaron Working In Newark: Love me some Hoople!
	5:12pm V Priceless: nice analogy, dale
	♥ 5:14pm Irwin: The organ-piano pairing is very Procolian.
	5:14pm Santos L Halper: Agreed on the epic Mott. Also thanks for the Wm. B and all the music factories.

	♥ 5:24pm Stevel: Yes, the Tom Wilson series was very informative, (if a bit redundant.) Gotta love a great time capsule!
	5:25pm Santos L Halper: That Ra was new to me and interesting. What's the story on that, can't find any info...
	♥ 5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow Sir Irwin. Downloads. Cheers.
	♥ 5:25pm Irwin: SR Exotica comp coming out in November on Modern Harmonic. The track is from another album, tho.
	♥ 5:26pm BnowB: someone say erotica.. oh thats exotica.. well close.. Yea.. MR DJ.. we love you!!! heheheh
	♥ 5:27pm Hughie Considine: not exactly the XTC song you think someone would opt to cover. what a world.
	♥ 5:27pm BnowB: brilliant mashup
	♥ 5:27pm dale: where will i ever hear 'outta sight' and 'cat' now?
	♥ 5:28pm dale: HOW the hell do some of these mashups work so seamlessly?
	5:29pm jan: "Music shaped"- Irwin, am I wrong or is that the closest that you have come to ever playing Madonna?
	♥ 5:30pm dale: madonna is second to hannah montana.
	♥ 5:30pm Irwin: I've aired Madonna in the past because I really like her music, most of which is brilliant. "Borderline" is one of my all-time fave recordings.
	5:32pm Fuzzy: "Live to Tell" is great too. There -- I said it.
	♥ 5:33pm BnowB: CCC Chris Shaw ... Thanks Irwin mashups are so fun!
	5:35pm jan: My apologies, I must have missed the shows when Madonna was played or just plain forgot. And I've also enjoyed and own some of her music.
	♥ 5:36pm BnowB: I've gone to record fairs and I've seen DJ's and I'm always way to nervous to say hi.
	♥ 5:38pm BnowB: Ill get bamboozled by ken and andy hehe oh wait.. that really could happen tonight.
	♥ 5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was that tune one Madge did w/ William Orbit ('Ray of Light') ? If you ain't read 'The Negative Dialects of Poodle Play' aboot FrankZapper - wull, get crackin'...
	♥ 5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard about this book on NPR : www.nytimes.com... - sounded intriguing aboot Booty Pop I usually don't reckon much...observant & articulate...wonder what Mo would think!...
	5:45pm Santos L Halper: Rev, that Poodle Play was pretty dense but I enjoyed it. Good to know at least one other person made it all the way through.
	♥ 5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fattest book on Rawk I ever read - & wanted more.
	♥ 5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: W/out webz @ home - I'm falling back much on my Files. A lot of this great podcast of Lecture on Jazz along w/ Music - great stuff I think : itunes.apple.com...
	♥ 5:52pm Michael 98145: whoa - inducing ADD
	5:53pm V Priceless: I could listen to that all day
	♥ 5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like People Like Us & Hour of Slack & such De/Reconstructions...

	♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145: - buy you a Ford Mustang -
	♥ 4:35pm Passaic River Blues: Yeah, the only thing on Grimble's Mill I found were two mentions in archived issues of Cash Box and Billboard from July 1968. "Disk product, both albums and singles, from the stable of Tom Wilson's Gunga Din Productions will flow through the facilities of MGM Records' 'Community of Labels' operation. … Two other groups, Grimble's Mill from Los Angeles and The Serfs from Wichita, Kansas, were discovered by Tom Wilson and Mark Joseph." www.americanradiohistory.com... Also didn't know there was a Music Factory record label for a time.
	♥ 4:38pm Passaic River Blues: Find this Mark Joseph guy, Irwin, and make him talk.
	♥ 4:39pm Scott Williams: @Irwin: Matt Fiveash on bass, me on guitar, Daddy Garbage kissing Wm's head at the end
	4:42pm ?: Wow that Wm. tribute put a smile on this mug - thanks Irwin! Making my day in many ways.
	♥ 4:44pm Irwin: When I pass and there's a memorial, I want it said that every week, wielding a vacuum cleaner, I left the main studio in better shape than it was when I arrived.
	4:44pm Dean: Grimble's Mill mentioned in Billboard, July 27, 1968, p.3. "Wilson Signs MGM Deal on 5 Artists."
	4:46pm Dean: Similar story in Variety, July 24, 1968, p.47.
	♥ 4:47pm Irwin: If only Lyle were on the comments board. I bet he jammed with the Grimble guys.
	♥ 4:48pm Carmichael: Who is Lisa Capuano?
	♥ 4:49pm Irwin: As I mentioned on the air, she was very involved in WFMU's financial survival. Worked closely with Ken on a number of projects. She passed unexpectedly a month ago.
	♥ 4:51pm Carmichael: Sorry to hear that, Irwin. I just tuned in a few minutes ago and was reading the comments ...
	♥ 4:51pm Passaic River Blues: Lyle would have a story about how Grimble's Mill was a fake band that served as a tax dodging scheme for Tom Wilson, Bebe Rebozo, and Allen Funt.
	♥ 4:51pm Irwin: And Liz Berg is gone from the building (but not from the planet). It's been a tough month for the station's extended family.
	♥ 4:52pm Irwin: I think Lyle sleeps deep into the afternoon, often joining the comments board after 5pm. Musician's hours.
	♥ 4:54pm BnowB: WB RIP .. love you wfmu
	♥ 4:59pm dale: can you start over next week irwin? i want to hear that sopwith camel commercial every week.
	5:02pm berbo: Spiritual cooking for your pets.

	♥ 5:27pm dale: where will i ever hear 'outta sight' and 'cat' now?
	♥ 5:28pm dale: HOW the hell do some of these mashups work so seamlessly?
	5:29pm jan: "Music shaped"- Irwin, am I wrong or is that the closest that you have come to ever playing Madonna?
	♥ 5:30pm dale: madonna is second to hannah montana.
	♥ 5:30pm Irwin: I've aired Madonna in the past because I really like her music, most of which is brilliant. "Borderline" is one of my all-time fave recordings.
	5:32pm Fuzzy: "Live to Tell" is great too. There -- I said it.
	♥ 5:33pm BnowB: CCC Chris Shaw ... Thanks Irwin mashups are so fun!
	5:35pm jan: My apologies, I must have missed the shows when Madonna was played or just plain forgot. And I've also enjoyed and own some of her music.
	♥ 5:36pm BnowB: I've gone to record fairs and I've seen DJ's and I'm always way to nervous to say hi.
	♥ 5:38pm BnowB: Ill get bamboozled by ken and andy hehe oh wait.. that really could happen tonight.
	♥ 5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was that tune one Madge did w/ William Orbit ('Ray of Light') ? If you ain't read 'The Negative Dialects of Poodle Play' aboot FrankZapper - wull, get crackin'...
	♥ 5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard about this book on NPR : www.nytimes.com... - sounded intriguing aboot Booty Pop I usually don't reckon much...observant & articulate...wonder what Mo would think!...
	5:45pm Santos L Halper: Rev, that Poodle Play was pretty dense but I enjoyed it. Good to know at least one other person made it all the way through.
	♥ 5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fattest book on Rawk I ever read - & wanted more.
	♥ 5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: W/out webz @ home - I'm falling back much on my Files. A lot of this great podcast of Lecture on Jazz along w/ Music - great stuff I think : itunes.apple.com...
