Sun. 4/13/08 9:24pm From: Life

Sun. 4/13/08 9:25pm From: Kwiz

Boo. This show is not very good.

Sun. 4/13/08 9:27pm From: Kwiz

Am I on the track to being banne, yet?

Sun. 4/13/08 9:28pm From: Irwin

Kwiz, you am hurt the feelings. Now I am go and must die now. Good look at you done! Sad is.

Sun. 4/13/08 9:30pm From: Kwiz

Lame!

You fake the hurting. Getting banned from you may not be worth the effort.

Sun. 4/13/08 9:32pm From: dave

Sun. 4/13/08 9:33pm From: Kwiz

Ouch, this music just took a turn for the horrible. I really am hurting inside.

Play the good Hayden.

i heard The Cure's "Friday I'm In Love" broadcast over the Hoboken A&P's "sound" system one night . . . not sure which feels more bizarre, hearing The Cure in the A&P or the Scala Choir's version . . .

Sun. 4/13/08 9:43pm From: Kwiz

OK, I think you've redeemed yourself, now. That mashup was belligerent..

Sun. 4/13/08 9:43pm From: slugluv1313

IKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun. 4/13/08 10:34pm From: slugluv1313

ALWAYS great to hear Terry Reid . . . thanks, Irwin!!!!!!!!

Sun. 4/13/08 10:47pm From: Ike

Hey Slugluv. They hired me. But I wouldn't be surprised if they got out a whip and shouted, "Faster! Faster!" And my iPod is broken, and there's no FMU reception there, so close to Empire due to multipath... I wish that booster was already in place. Sigh.

Sun. 4/13/08 10:47pm From: Irwin

Hey, Ike -- thanks for the quote (via Mr. Lupica).

Sun. 4/13/08 10:48pm From: WHT

John Allen had an interesting interview with Terry Reid in 2005. The guy did not seem depressed at all with the missed opportunities.

Sun. 4/13/08 10:49pm From: dave

i get the impression that margaux's found a healthy way to deal with poor FMU reception. maybe you should chat with her about that, Ike.

Sun. 4/13/08 10:59pm From: Ike

Dave, my reception at home is perfect. And at work, I don't have time to yell into C60s. or to stop typing for one single second for that matter, lest they chain me up for crimes of slowness.

Iriwn, thanks for the heaping sacks of extra sonic snow peas tonight. The Hayden horse wasn't too gristly either.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:04pm From: dave

multitask, ike, MULT. I. TASK. yell WHILE you type.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:10pm From: Ike

I'll stick w/listening to cassettes at work, not yelling into them, Dave. I've been digging out old Maxell 90s from the '90s for the moldy Walkman.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:14pm From: dave

i don't get it. where has this R.E.M. _been_ for the last 20 years?

Sun. 4/13/08 11:18pm From: Droll

I think Z101's been playing that song (or similar) for the past 20 years. The B-52's also stumbled onto the Fountain of Youth recently, too. There's a lot less filler on those records when they spend 15 years writing.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:22pm From: JA

Cleve played a thrilling set w/ Cooper -Moore at Zeubulon a few hours ago. -eyewitness

Sun. 4/13/08 11:23pm From: dave

i dunno. the B-52s' latest sounds to me like they're just rehashing what they've been doing since they got boring. Accelerate sounds like the album that SHOULD have come after Life's Rich Pageant, had the crop of imposters that's been running the band for the last two decades not locked the real REM up in the meat locker at Walter's BBQ and set about producing soul-crushing adult contemporary music.

not that i'm bitter about it.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:28pm From: Droll

Dave -- I hear ya. Music just hasn't been the same since they replaced Paul McCartney with an automata. I've lost track of how many musicians and bands they've done that to... I stopped counting after Genesis was replaced with 3 robots playing vacuous pop dribble.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:33pm From: dave

i'm just saying i liked them before they sold out.

and by "them", i mean the beatles.
and by "sold out" i mean "picked up an instrument".

Sun. 4/13/08 11:40pm From: Steve Barton

Now, this is a great Sunday night show...or should I say charming?!

Sun. 4/13/08 11:43pm From: Irwin

Hello, Mr. Barton. Nice to hear your voice -- in a manner of speaking -- after all these years.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:44pm From: Droll

If you think those bands nosedived, you should hear the 2nd Margaux album, The Relapse (C60, NR:B). She covers Jessie's Girl before crying the FMU station ID. A real yawner.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:47pm From: dave

if you don't think margaux's sophomore effort is her magnum opus, you have no heart. i pity you. the juxtaposition of "I GET JUNK MAIL WITH MISSING KIDS ON IT" against "Too Much Time On My Hands" is just gut-wrenching.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:50pm From: keeg

This show is fun! Bill Kelly played the SUPERNATURAL/SERIOUS also today. I do like it, I am afraid to say. Yo, I worked on the video for REM's STAND which WAS hideous. Yeah, I have the records up to Life's Rich P. and listened to 2 or 3 after that-once.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:50pm From: Steve Barton

Still baritone, still supporting this great station (2009 can't get here fast enough so I can use my Old Codger calendar). No complaints about REM or any pop music that makes it's way onto FMU. I swear the best pop sing of the last ten years I heard first on Ken's show -- was driving down I-20 to Charleston with the kids in the back a month later and there is was again on Star 94 now, Hey Ya! by Atlanta's own. Finger poppin' and no wonder Ken played it. I enjoy all you do Irwin! Keep it up. -- Steve (singed the petition to make surface noise the National Anthem)

Sun. 4/13/08 11:53pm From: Steve Barton

Well, I could have burned or sung the petition, but I think I signed it in my dotage...

Sun. 4/13/08 11:55pm From: dave

i think actually sticking the petition on the turntable and pointing the speakers out the window was the preferred method of expressing yr support.

hard on the cartridge, though.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:55pm From: Steve Barton

Hooray, where's my red book to wave!

Sun. 4/13/08 11:56pm From: dave

... and now i have to listen to the internationale.

on repeat.

THANKS.

Sun. 4/13/08 11:57pm From: Marty from Chico

Paul Robeson--what a voice!

Sun. 4/13/08 11:58pm From: slugluv1313

Sun. 4/13/08 11:59pm From: slugluv1313
