  3:31pm
Ike:

All of that material will live on... elsewhere!
  3:31pm
Bad Ronald:

That was a bit much LD, fun but verbose.
  3:33pm
Oatman:

MAIDENNNNNNNNNN!!!!
  3:42pm
Lizardner Dave:

Ike, I have my copy, and my wonderful memories.

Great show by Irwin so far too.
  3:51pm
Bad Ronald:

Stew is cool!
  3:53pm
Cecile:

Is this from his musical?
  3:56pm
Parq:

The humor in that Stew song was really meaty. Get it? Stew? Meaty? Oh, I gotta tell ya . . .

'Cile, I saw that show and don't remember that song in it.
  3:58pm
GP:

Oh man, off listening to another on-line station and I miss all of dis...WHAT was I thinking?
  4:00pm
Cecile:

I liked the AGT tour because it wasn't Ben Folds. ;)

man that AGT song sucked
  4:04pm
GP:

More AGT please

Yaay Bran Flakes! More Bran Flakes!

Do 16 year olds say crap like "deep connection" in real life?
  4:08pm
Lizardner Dave:

Any chance of hearing from Muriel today?
  4:09pm
steve:

what is going on?
  4:09pm
trent:

miley and leslie: live tonight from rock center xmas tree lighting
  4:11pm
Ike:

Sorry Irwin, I wasn't paying much attention to the Asteroids Galaxy Tour song. But I really like this Mae Shi cover of HM.
  4:11pm
steve w.:

love these tunes. FANTASTIC.
  4:12pm
Cecile:

Leslie Gore?
  4:13pm
The other Parq:

I said what?
  4:16pm
GP:

O.K. Irwin...now this has gone beyond the awesomeness scale.
  4:17pm
Lizardner Dave:

It's Rockcember!
  4:18pm
Lizardner Dave:

I can't hear this song without thinking of Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley squirting mustard on each other.
  4:22pm
GP:

Is this the metal dude Danzigs mom?

AnAnonymousParty:

Patricia, Patricia, Patricia!
  4:25pm
Sean Daily:

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!
  4:28pm
Mike B.:

The Queens! Oh mama!
  4:32pm
Peter K.:

"I'm Into Something Good" a Carole King song? Well, yes and no. Like all those other great hits she co-wrote, it's a Carole King AND GERRY GOFFIN song. Poor Gerry, who wrote the lyrics to all those songs, never gets enough credit, maybe because he never went the singer-songwriter route. (Carole did start writing her own lyrics when she went that route herself, but even then only once in a while. This is no knock on Carole King, just a statement of fact.)

As for Hannah Montana: Love the TV show, hate the music.
  4:32pm
steve:

my 70 yr old father was just dancing to qotsa yelling, "look at my hips going! my repaired hips!" true story
  4:33pm
Listener Grovesnor:

Iwrin, where do you inherit your awesome programming talents from?!??
  4:34pm
GP:

Steve..that is the best thing I have heard all day. Get him to a dance hall, the ladies will love it.
  4:37pm
trent:

Lee Hazlewood Live From The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting
  4:37pm
Peter K.:

Grovesnor, I will tell you who I am only if you tell me who you are.
  4:38pm
Laurie:

I actually said, "Oh, I love this song," when I heard the intro to "Sand." And I do. This OP8 album is the best. I wish they would team up again and put another one out.
  4:38pm
Irwin:

damn, Grovesnor's last comment disappearitated.
  4:41pm
Mac:

Flashback rush. Wheesh!
  4:44pm
Parq, really:

Hey, I thought you said that other comment was my last.
  4:45pm
Laurie:

Conjecture: Irwin plays popular country for us because he secretly loathes his listeners.

Although, if I'm being perfectly honest, this Brad Paisley song isn't completely awful.
  4:46pm
Parq:

As always, I respectfully dissent from my fellow listeners' distaste for kickin' country.
  4:47pm
GP:

Parq,

Pizeace Out * taps chest flips peace sign

Did Brad just sample the Mac startup tone? This song is too funny. I read somewhere that something like 30% of people using a female screen name are actually dudes...analyze that.
  4:47pm
Cecile:

you lie, Laurie.
The words make me want to hit my head against my desk.
the tune and sanging is nice, though.
  4:48pm
Irwin:

PK, know anything about Vin Strong?
  4:48pm
Laurie:

Oh, come on, this marching band rendition at the end is a nice touch.
  4:51pm
Cecile:

I'd buy that part if it were a single by itself.
  4:51pm
Lizardner Dave:

Just walked back in the office and see that I missed the Star Country moment. Blast.
  4:52pm
bzul:

The obscure vectors of comment intention and identification are fraying the smooth linen of the show...and Brad soiled it with flat canned country punch o' the day from the factory.
  4:52pm
Peter K.:

Not a thing, Irwin. Know anything about Grovesnor? (By the way, that was not me who just responded. That was a fake PK.)
  4:54pm
Cecile:

bzul, I'm the glue that keeps this whole wacky factory together, and don't forget it.
  5:00pm
Cecile:

and be over 18, or pretending to be over 18, or Brad Paisley
  5:01pm
bzul:

Yes...someone from the Glue Glue Dolls needs to here for fast repairs and a lasting bond!
  5:01pm
SLRecords:

Great to hear some Moondog - we're putting together an album of Moonodg covers - still looking for artists so can you give us a shout out - any artists interseted in submitting a cover version can find more details at www.slrecords.net

WFMU, the gift that keeps on giving.
  5:05pm
Cecile:

Ol' Man Irwin, he just one keeps on rolling, just keeps on rolling, keeps on rolling along
  5:06pm
Louis Armstrong:

Malcolm McClaren:

You need hands!
  5:15pm
noel:

REQUEST:
it would make me happy to hear something off the new Max Tundra
  5:16pm
Clark Barr:

Help! I've OD'd on Bran Flakes! Help!
  5:18pm
Laura L:

The only cure for Bran Flakes OD is more Bran Flakes!
  5:18pm
Susan DeLint:

I bet some YMO would help with your OD.
  5:20pm
Cecile:

or an Imodiumtini
  5:21pm
?:

?
  5:21pm
Clark Barr:

All these Bran Flakes have dropped my cholesterol to -50! I need a dozen Wendy's Triple Bacon Cheeseburgers FAST!!!!!!
  5:22pm
bzul:

We had to listen to and learn songs from an album about the Catholic sacraments in elementary school. Please, please , Santa, bring that record to the Bran Flakes so there might be glorious transubstantiation of it. Amen.
  5:30pm
Cecile:

I love the Bats.
  5:31pm
bzul:

Joe Bacon:

Lizardner Dave:

What's that closing bed music you use Irwin? I like it a lot.
  6:00pm
Bad Ronald:

Yacca!
  10:59pm
Irwin:

re: Winston's Fumbs ("Real Crazy Apartment") --
"It's a little ironic that Jimmy Winston, the former organ player of the Small Faces, who was kicked out right at the dawn of their recording career, went on to actually forge a sound that was far more defiantly psychedelic than that of his former buddies. Sure it was for one single only, but next to 'Real Crazy Apartment', stuff like 'Green Circles' and 'Itchycoo Park' sound like Quicksilver Messenger Service next to Black Sabbath. This song tears! Deep, rumbling production, guitar chords (Winston switched to guitar after leaving Marriott and Co.) that sound like they're coming straight out of the mouth of Beelzebub himself, scary falsetto harmonies, and such a terrifying mood. Supposedly it's just a song about the charms and seductions of a hipster apartment, but if you don't take in the lyrics word by word, you'd think it was the devil himself welcoming you to the apartment in question. "Satanic psychedelia", eh? Something like that. Okay, so it's certainly very tame by the Stooges' standards, but still the sound is quite unique for 1967, which is a pretty big compliment given that in 1967, "unique" was almost casual." http://starling.rinet.ru/music/nuggets.htm#Winston
