Listener comments!

  3:04pm
Bad Ronald:

Woo hoo
  3:04pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Bring on the crap!
  3:05pm
Parq:

So glad you decided to go along with the gag. Ken played "Montreal Canada Blues" this morning, but as far as this listener is concerned, feel free to play it again.
  3:06pm
Bad Ronald:

"boring" as in trepenation or ennui?
  3:06pm
AnAnonymousParty:

WFMU - Home of the seven inch turds.
  3:07pm
otis:

from someone in montreal - i'd love to hear it if it's sitting about. and i'm no FOOL!
  3:08pm
Sean Daily:

Seventh comment! Woo hoo!
  3:08pm
otis:

the needle drops and pick ups - keep em coming. hell, freestyle and do a needle pickup/dropdown solo on a cut. ha ha.
  3:09pm
otis:

"Home of the seven inch turds."

dear lord i hope that refers to records.
  3:09pm
Sean Daily:

Perhaps trepenation, Bad Ronald... skull trepenation, with the attendant pagan voodoo rituals. That would be SO metal.
  3:10pm
Parq:

Oh yes, Eddie Murray, pour it all over me!
  3:10pm
Bad Ronald:

\m/ '_' \m/
  3:14pm
Sean Daily:

You know, it's not the words to this Thomas Merlo song that annoy me. It's the baboon that he has on the piano PLEASE GOD MAKE IT STOP.

Or maybe this is what it sounds like when a beat poet tries to get patriotic...
  3:16pm
?:

save it for your art parties
  3:18pm
Cecile:

"now divide the following stats by 464"

I like this record - reminds me of those ESPN Home Run Derby re-runs...
  3:21pm
Sean Daily:

(In Peter Lorre's voice) Ya wanna know how to work on your wrist, young boy... heh... heh... Do you want me to... SHOW you how to work on your wrist, you pretty little boy... heh... heh... hehhhhh...
  3:21pm
Cecile:

ah, the craddle robber's national anthem
  3:23pm
Joe:

That's my kinda choo-choo.

Seriously, I rode that train for a while.
  3:24pm
another old man:

turn the page!
  3:24pm
zedprophfer:

DING
  3:24pm
Cecile:

wow, that's a lot of words to memorize for a little kid.
  3:24pm
Trish:

Hi Irwin, glad to find you in this time slot.

Any Bozo the Clown in that collection of kidscarp ?
  3:25pm
Bad Ronald:

Yeah me too Joe Puff -n- toot -n- chug!
  3:26pm
Bad Ronald:

wottabout some MAD flexi-discs?
  3:26pm
Sean Daily:

Luckily, Casey Jones is at Puff'n Toot's controls, so this is gonna end REAL well.
  3:28pm
bzul:

Pros-T-Toot!
  3:29pm
Pete Townsend:

Subs-T-Toot!
  3:36pm
bzul:

Speaking of Pete music, I thought when red-suited Sarah was on SNL the other night, she should've sung, "You betcha, you betcha, you bet...(wink, wink)..ooh-ooo.."
  3:38pm
Bad Ronald:

"Your dog keeps licking my nose and chewing up all those letters that say 'you better'".
  3:40pm
Cecile:

yes it is working for me.
  3:40pm
Sean Daily:

POLKA CHICKENS! Can it get ANY BETTER!
  3:40pm
otis:

best version of too fat polka EVER.
  3:45pm
disappointed:

no calypso 45s?
  3:46pm
Ike:

It was working for me at that exact moment of polka! Polka, hooray!

I was skeptical about the idea, but it has worked out well on most shows so far. (Well, one unnamed DJ was playing some horrible vile drivel earlier, but then he's *always* playing crappy vinyl from landfills anyway.) Maybe not this one. Hmmm. I'm going back and forth. I hope for reams of new sounds next week to counter all the oldies.
  3:48pm
Parq:

Ike, you say "horrible vile drivel" like it's a bad thing.
  3:49pm
Cecile:

WOW. In that soap there is hope....

not cult-like at all...
  3:49pm
Sean Daily:

Yes, Amway. It's not just a job. It's a Ponzi scheme cult.
  3:51pm
Cecile:

WIth Amway, Fountains of Wayne dude could get his Red Dragon Tattoo.
  3:51pm
stuartlt:

what happens when Kings of Leon bathe in Fountains of Wayne?
  3:53pm
Bad Ronald:

with a box of frogs?
  3:53pm
Ike:

Sorry Parq, I wasn't being clear enough. I mean the kind of horrible vile drivel that isn't funny or amusing. I mean the kind of horrible vile drivel that makes your soul bleed. Like bathing in excrement-flavored acid. Not the kind of hilarious drivel that Irwin plays. That's different.
  3:54pm
Sean Daily:

This Absolute Albert song is the soundtrack of my life...
  3:59pm
Parq:

It says here in Wikipedia that the LSC now calls himself "The Ledge". Well, why the heck not? Say, was that a John Deere letter?
  4:02pm
Wes:

What's up internet playlist people? Great show Irwin.
  4:04pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Nothing much.
  4:05pm
bzul:

John Deere letter...?
Just another furrow from Irwin's Small Track Tour.
  4:05pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Irwin you've gone too far with this DeBarge. See you next week.
  4:05pm
otis:

i saw debarge live in 1984 at a fair in san diego. the jets were playing with the debarge family. talk about flashback.
  4:06pm
?:

ouch
  4:06pm
horrified:

WOW! you have actually hit the bottom of the barrel. I DARE you to find something worse than this, other than a field recording of babies crying or people retching....
  4:07pm
Cecile:

WOW. that is a flashback.
Can you play some more parrot training records?
  4:07pm
Wes:

Ouch is right...my ears can't handle this mess
  4:07pm
otis:

yea, but irwin's adding the cool factor to debarge - now the price for the 12" single at the record fair will go up from .25 cents to .50 cents
  4:08pm
jan:

deBarge certainly lives up to the expectations we were given for this show. fortunately I have to leave and will not be able to listen for about an hour. maybe it won't be worthwhile listening to the archive later. I hope while I am gone you play dirty dancing
  4:10pm
still horrified:

Irwin, where did you find this marvelous atrocity?
  4:10pm
Parq:

Actually laughing out loud at this Mark Savage.
  4:10pm
?:

debarge was awful. this is awful, but also hilarious.
  4:10pm
rolf:

why? mark savage is working hard
  4:11pm
Cecile:

Best version of this song EVER...

thanks, Irwin!
  4:12pm
AnAnonymousPary:

Mark Savage is sexy in a Borat kind of way, eh?
  4:15pm
Cecile:

I was thinking more of Chris Tucker channeling Will Ferrell, but six of one, half dozen of another
  4:20pm
AnAnonymousPary:

Why it's ... music of the .... FUTURE!
  4:23pm
Cecile:

If this is the future, I want to have a jet car with a robot that makes me martinis.

WHERE IS MY JET CAR!?!?!?!?
  4:25pm

submitted for your approval -- a show on the radio dial -- transmitting over tubes known as the internet -- an ordinary show featuring an ordinary style of music -- music that is of the past and the future -- hosted by a man who in a few minutes will transmit directly into -- the twilight zone
  4:26pm
Laura L:

It's actually the music of the past--we seem to have skipped the future and moved right on to the present.
  4:26pm
Parq:

'Cile, shazam, you're martinis.
  4:27pm
north guinea hills:

kid baltan was dick raaijimakers pop electronic project from 1957
  4:28pm
north guinea hills:

and raaijimakers also worked for philips....
  4:28pm
Sean Daily:

"Rolled in balls"? Well, I guess if you're into that, Irwin... but I didn't know you swung that way.
  4:29pm
Cecile:

the pork chop on a stick at the MN State Fair used to be amazing.
  4:30pm
otis:

yer making me hungry
  4:30pm
Laura L:

He ain't kiddin. Here you go--

Fried cake on a stick. It's served on a stick!
  4:30pm
Parq:

Oh please stop! My arteries are closing up just from listening to this
  4:31pm
hazmania:

The Chicken Fried Bacon is everything you imagine. Your man in Dallas, Brian
  4:31pm
otis:

fried cake on a stick. good lord, someone start making out my tombstone
  4:32pm
Sean Daily:

Cheesecake (made with lard, of course), dipped in cornbread batter, basted with fudge and Snickers bars, fried in more lard and injected with bacon fat... Oh God YES...
  4:32pm
Laura L:

Otis, your tombstone:
Errrrrp!
  4:33pm
Cecile:

Jesus is keeping the twins in his basement?
  4:34pm
otis:

that song makes you want to find a hiding place
  4:35pm
Cecile:

I heard it as "weensie"
I do not accept this song as authentic
  4:35pm
bzul:

Hmm. Wyatt Errrrp was the marshal in Tombstone.
  4:36pm
Cecile:

man, these kids on your records, Irwin, sound very mature and break into choral harmonies at the drop of a hat...
  4:36pm
Parq:

Wasn't that the same dogs-and-cats cue that Judson Fountain used on "Old Woman of Haunted House"?
  4:36pm
felix:

the inimitable Tony Randall narrates!
  4:38pm
Negator:

I will attending the NC State Fair on Sat where I'm looking forward to such delicacies as: Fried redneck fat infused with Snickers and caramel, whipped with a yellowcake, fried again (deeper), then quickly coated in more redneck fat, then quickly fried again, then dusted with powdered sugar on a stick. Mmmmmm...... I hear they're smoking endangered species as well. Can't get Panda paw anywhere you know!
  4:40pm
C:

better beatle
  4:41pm
bzul:

If I had to choose between a session of this and waterboarding...I don't know, no , I don't knowwwww..
  4:42pm
Negator:

Gary Strivant is real hip with those hip finger snaps, claps and missed key changes. I don't think even he knew....
  4:46pm
Mike Nelson:

"You know, at this point I think I'd rather be watching David Crosby eating a McRib sandwich."
  4:47pm
Turnstone:

I love this chuffing Friends song
  4:47pm
Jonathan Steinke:

Gary Strivant...strivING for tone deaf excellence!!
  4:47pm
Sean Daily:

Great! I've got diabetes now! Thanks a lot, Irwin!
  4:48pm
Lizardner Dave:

Miley has to be coming up soon. Or Star Country.
  4:48pm
Cecile:

Now I want a McRib.
  4:50pm
AnAnonymousParty:

"Eensie Beensie" spider? I always thought it was the "Eensie Weensie" spider. I wonder what else mom lied about.
  4:52pm
AnAnonymousParty:

This doesn't sound anything like Kelsey Grammar.
  4:53pm
Cecile:

I know! I know! It's "weensie"!
  4:58pm
JCityJensen:

billionth comment woo hoo!
  5:01pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Speed and size don't matter? What if someone said:

"I want seven inches, and I want it now!"
  5:01pm
bzul:

Itsy Bitsy round here. Always has been. The different camps of spider characterization should fight it out with crude homemade hide-rippin' weapons like Gangs of New York.
  5:02pm
Negator:

This Gipper song is choking me up, Irwin. Is this Elvis?
  5:02pm
?:

this gipper? :

Bad Ronald:

I'm with Itsy... *grabs a chain*
  5:05pm
AnAnonymousParty:

From now on, I'm going with "diminutive insignificant arachnid".
  5:08pm
Parq:

On the edge of my seat waiting for the payoff on this "things get a little easier" . . .
  5:09pm
Negator:

Shoulda listened to his fuckin mutha!
  5:10pm
Turnstone:

i'm in bits now. Who saw that coming !!!
  5:10pm
HotRod:

Holy shit. That was intense.
  5:10pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Read a book ... or DIE!
  5:10pm
spiderman:

turns out itsy and eensie are both right, tho wikidedia seems to be leaning toward itsy:

  5:11pm
HotRod:

Great show title, by the way.
  5:11pm
Cecile:

I love this Triplets song.
  5:13pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Well, if that's what Wikipedia says, then I suppose there's really no need for further discussion. The matter is settled.
  5:15pm
Cecile:

"tea" and "pot"
I get it now.
a drug song.... shocking.
  5:15pm
Parq:

Gee, I never knew that "Little Teapot" had a bridge. And a nifty one at that.
  5:17pm
Wes:

I'll take that "tea" over the drug coffee or the drug alcohol, both of which make me feel anxious, worried, and basically like crap
  5:17pm
volunteer:

more rainbow brite please - we'll take strawberry shortcake too!
  5:18pm
AnAnonymousParty:

The Peter Pan Orchestra? Wow, who knew? ... and how many metaphors are colliding in that song?
  5:23pm
spiderman:

yeah, I'm well aware of Wikipedia's lameness, I've seen no shortage of errors and misinfo there. The spider entry is kind of an amusing read tho, especially the bit about the spider as Sisyphian absurdist metaphor. Oh, and other variations are footnoted:

Or "Incey Wincey" or "Teensy Weensy" or "Inky Pinky".

Inky Pinky!?!?! Seriously? On what planet?
  5:28pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Hey, somebody bump New Jersey, it's stuck.
  5:33pm
Parq:

Spidey, "Inky Pinky" is French -- as in "Inky Pinky parlez vous".
  5:34pm
Sean Daily:

This is kind of like Frank Sinatra in his Rat Pack days saying that he was a real hep cat...
  5:35pm
Cecile:

it's like your grandma saying "da bomb"
  5:39pm
listening john:

Irwin Chusid
  5:51pm
Cecile:

you can also get a salad with fries on it in Pittsburgh, too.

Later, Irwin, this was fun!
  5:55pm
Sean Daily:

A SALAD WITH FRIES? It's healthy AND fried! My God, I think I've glimpsed the Promised Land.
  5:59pm
Parq:

Outstanding show, Irwin. Bravo.
  5:59pm
AnAnonymousParty:

That's it. from now on I'm a shoe cleanin', ear washin', pet lovin' sonofabitch!
