I didn't know that you 'FMUers saw us commenters as adversaries, as "frenemies" of sorts.

annie - i'll be comment 2.5
irwin - dooooooon't delete the comments mannnn
Wed. 11/26/08 3:09pm
From:

I for one like that the comments have become integrated. We've been validated which is better than violated. Of course that is unless violation is your bag.
Wed. 11/26/08 3:09pm
From:

word oatman, we were typing at the same time, i threw irwin the curve ball.. he missed it!! and the commenters are the glue!!! the glue!!!

1st rule DJs cannot have first comment rights. If just plain unfair!

From:

I think that the whole 'comment talk' on the tail end of kenny g's show is to mask the fact that kenny g and irwin are actually the same person! i think there was a whole coast to coast (art bell) show dedicated to the conspiracy. it's a conspiracy mannn.

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays O-Man? I bet you're all "hopped up on goofballs" now too!
Wed. 11/26/08 3:27pm

what genre is this considered? Some form of jazz, I assume

From:

hey kenny! Do you read all the posts? What was that spoken word piece that you played--"please tell stella"; with the different accents? I had a guy play it for me a long time ago. He told me it was an experiment he did in college, recording people with different accents reading the poem he said he wrote. Hmmmmm...

Ronald, we need to be hopped up - i am always anticipating Irwin's detour into new pop country tunes. Irwin, I love ya, and i still listen with white knuckles gripping my cup of spirits.
Wed. 11/26/08 3:36pm
From:
fishmonkeystew
I always prefered "all hepped up on goofballs".
Wed. 11/26/08 3:39pm
From:
Oatman
Can we add "all hepped up on goofballs crazypants" - I really do like the addition of 'pants' adding on to words. I'd rather someone scream "hey otispants" down the street then "hey otis".
Wed. 11/26/08 3:39pm
From:
fishmonkeystew
Actually, I meant "all goofed up on hop balls". Is work over yet?
Wed. 11/26/08 3:42pm
From:
Oatman
No not yet, 75 minutes left to go.
Wed. 11/26/08 3:42pm
From:

I have to say I agree with you, Oatman.
Wed. 11/26/08 3:50pm
From:

Irwin - tell us a classic story about WFMU - something that once happened on your show maybe?
Wed. 11/26/08 3:52pm

salutations posters and yeah, agree with all the above.

From:

Irwin, if a classic story doesn't come to mind, how's about the kitten mew or hairball impression from days of old? All this talk about hop balls, how 'bout a hairball?

alright for all of you who will be travelling tomorrow, be safe and happy. off to fight some dragons. those of you who will be around tomorrow, see you tomorrow..

The drummer on "Fly With the Wind" is Billy Cobham. And thanks for the shout-out to my old man.
Wed. 11/26/08 4:14pm
From:
Sean Daily
Two things about your kitten-coughing-up-a-hairball imitation, Irwin:
1. That was probably the creepiest thing I've ever heard over a pair of headphones.
2. Just how, exactly, did you find out that you coud DO that? On second thoughts, I'm not sure if I want to know...
Wed. 11/26/08 4:16pm
From:
Irwin
This was pre-Mahavishnu, Peter? Or just moonlighting? Cobham, that is, not your dad.
Wed. 11/26/08 4:21pm
From:
Peter K.
It was actually post-Mahavishnu, or at least after Cobham's tenure: 1976. I believe he was leading his own band by this time but still occasionally did sideman dates, undoubtedly for a very high price -- which in this case at least was clearly worth it!
By the way, how nice to hear someone on WFMU actually play the Dead (and presumably without irony); I had thought it was against the rules. Lovely song, too. But for the record the Dead is Grateful, not Greatful.

Martin Newell! Irwin, you opened my ears to them via "Clara Bow"

It's a Coke float. Coke and ice cream.
A brown cow is a root beer float.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:22pm
From:
Graeme
That's slightly disappointing. I always assumed the bloke in the song was drowning his sorrows in the traditional way ; not having a chuffing ice cream.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:25pm
From:
Bad Ronald
Seems like he was a pedophile...
Wed. 11/26/08 5:26pm

Great BBs track btw...
Wed. 11/26/08 5:28pm
From:
Cecile
I always imagined the suject of the song being stoned out of their mind and stuffing their face with sweets. Just a mess. Like in the Basketball Diaries when they are eating at the dairy delicatessen.
Oh, man, Irwin, I think this is the Lower Michigan national anthem.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:29pm
From:
Cecile
also, positioning ice cream treats with serious drug use I always thought was a great image.

The organ in this Kings track is steller!
Wed. 11/26/08 5:31pm
From:

Irwin, I thought you had friends here in Canada? You have at least legions of fans and admirers. Anyway, this Kings son is an epic classic of our glorious nation. Glad you finally heard it and thanks for playing it!

i've never heard it in such.. high quality though. i kind of like it now.

This is okay, but what you really want to hear is Evan "Funk" Davies performing this classic medly in front of the Hoof and Mouth Synfonia during last winter's marathon finale.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:32pm
From:
Joe
Isn't this Evan Funk Davies?

Heroin is known to lead to a sweet tooth. Take "Savoy Truffle" for example.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:33pm
From:
Cecile
Graeme, my joke about Steely Dan is that all their songs are about dope and/or jailbait, and this covers both.
That too, BR.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:36pm
From:
Graeme
Thanks Cecile ...what about FM though ? No static at all , or little girls ..or dope
Wed. 11/26/08 5:37pm
From:
Cecile
yeah, but you know that "party time" probably involved some of both off camera....

Irish Rock! Now we're talkin', cuz ...
And none o'that bolloxy U2 shite.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:40pm

Ah, see that? I'd forgotten that OPI was pounding the skins on that one. Even more reason to regard the original as mere prologue.

...yes Carmichael , quite right. Lets have some Microdisney !
Wed. 11/26/08 5:42pm

And amen to the U2 bit!

Wed. 11/26/08 5:49pm

BR must be talking about the Dropkick Murphys. Boston Irish?? They're a whole different breed of Celt, if you ask me.

We did a PATV show once debuting "We do Herion" but we were upstaged by a group of 5 yr. olds doing "Buck Barney" dressed as PE (w/plastic uzis).
Wed. 11/26/08 5:51pm
From:
Bad Ronald
Yeah Charmichael. That's why I asked if it was "too yank". Kinda like the Pogues really aren't Irish.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:54pm
From:
Carmichael
Graeme, Stars of Heaven sounds vaguely familiar. I'll have to research them. I'm an old geezer, by the way, so I thought I knew it all from that era.
I was around when they was mad about Gilbert O'Sullivan. And of course, Lizzy live at the Rainbow.
Wed. 11/26/08 5:55pm
From:
Graeme
Oh i'm ancient too. Theres a little bit of them on Youtube and a few tracks on Itunes. Worth a look.
