Listener comments!

  3:02pm
Steve Barton:

I enjoyed your show more when I WAS unemployed.
  3:03pm
Glenn L:

This second comment reserved for Sean Daily.
  3:06pm
Sean Daily:

"California Girls" sounds off.

Oh, and... first commnent after my reserved second comment and third overall comment! Woo hoo!
  3:07pm
Sean Daily:

Why am I not surprised that the chair is moist after Kenny G? Especially after all that talk about handsome boys...
  3:09pm
Mac:

Shouting out my support for Irwin, because as an early pledger i cannot call in my pledge to you today without throwing more money to you... which I do not have... Boo Hoo. Any CCC Mash-up today?
  3:10pm
Pearly Sweets:

Kenny G sprinkles his talent like a snail as he oozes about our planet. Each shift of his weight begots another wet chair of pure genius!
  3:15pm
Parq:

I heard song-poem and was expecting "A Blind Man's Penis". Showing my age, I guess.
  3:16pm
DJ Keili:

800 989 9368 to pledge!
Stay tuned for more tid bits of fun!
  3:18pm
umourman:

Letter to a Christian is a truly inspirational piece of music.
  3:18pm
still b/p:

I'm glad we never reached the Christian Dior.
  3:23pm
umourman:

If I keep playing this show at work you could be helping the employed rid themselves of a job!
  3:26pm
Steve Barton:

I remember her on GKS! Any kid that doesn't like Elvis raises my hackles!
  3:26pm
BSI:

Beastin'!
I'm still glistening with post-pledge euphoria from Freedman's show.

Did Ken ever announce a winner of the Phil Spector velvet painting?
  3:28pm
Steve Barton:

BSI: Winner of Velvet Spector was a listener in NC known to Ken, a Tom.
  3:28pm
BSI:

aah! It's the good Doctor!
  3:30pm
Gigantor:

Dr. F***ing Who! That's great!
  3:33pm
Anhelo:

eres túuuuuuuuuuuu eres túuuuuuuuuuuu
  3:34pm
Parq:

My Spanish-speaking relatives never understand me when I try to speak in Spanish. I'm guessing that I must sound to them like Jimmy M's "Eres Tu".
  3:35pm
AnAnonymousParty:

There. I did it. I'd do it again. I'm kind of tired now, but it's a good kind of tired.
  3:38pm
BSI:

Dang!
I've been denied the velvet spector!
There is no god!
  3:41pm
north guinea hills:

Parq, I'm pretty sure my Mexican gf would agree that I sound the same when attempting Spanish, me and my goofy-ass gringo accent....
  3:53pm
Queen:

(Goofy Ass Gringo Accent)
All we hear is lingua gaga...
  3:56pm
BSI:

JEEZUS!

That premium is worth it just for the J&H Productions bit alone!

De greatest DJ premium ever being gave!
  3:56pm
north guinea hills:

Pamelia Kurstin is a fave of mine, and she used cut my hair!
  4:02pm
sugarwolf:

this post is coming from INSIDE THE PHONE ROOM!!!!
  4:06pm
north guinea hills:

oh, and Pamelia's record on Zorn's Tzadik recs. is pretty sweet....
  4:12pm
Cecile:

Bryce is awesome.
  4:12pm
Cecile:

I love Bryce's show!

Damn, I missed Sloan.
  4:13pm
north guinea hills:

Bryce's show is perfect on Fridays, I'm still waiting for him to play one 3 hour piece for one of his shows.....
  4:17pm
Parq:

Take a look at the pic of Bryce in his "bug" costume from the '07 Hoof 'n Mouth finale, which you'll find as a part of the "adoptee" gallery. 'Nuff said.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wfmu/3277839000/

And, I note, he's still adoptable!
  4:23pm
BSI:

I attempted to adopt Bryce a few hours ago, with my orgy of pledge goodness. That psychotic bug should be off the market goddammit!
  4:25pm
north guinea hills:

I don't think I've liked anything from Sloan since 1998's "Navy Blues"
  4:25pm
Cecile:

Sloan are the FOTC of the Canadian Rock scene in terms of great second hand clothes , cute accents (oh, that "oot") and general mindblowing hotness. Or are FOTC the Sloan of musical comedy?
  4:26pm
Cecile:

ngh, I think they've been a little inconsistent, but NOTHING?
  4:27pm
Sean Daily:

I DISPUTE JOHN PEEL'S IMPORTANCE! SO THERE!
  4:29pm
still b/p:

You mean DJ John Peel?
  4:30pm
Parq:

All right, we're all on notice, Bryce is taken even if the Flicker page has not yet been updated to say so. No pleading ignorance, gang.
  4:30pm
Cecile:

DJ MC John Peel.
  4:31pm
still b/p:

So, anyways, DJ Keyser Soze was cutting my head off the other day, and...
  4:33pm
Cecile:

Is Bryce a lady man lady bug?
  4:33pm
Cecile:

I mean, DJ Bryce.
  4:34pm
Carmichael:

Good day, Irwin and all.
  4:34pm
Cecile:

and he is cute as a bug! And CUTE as a BUG.
  4:35pm
Cecile:

Hi, Carm.
  4:35pm
BSI:

egad. I expect Irwin's premium is a thing of crucial beauty...
  4:35pm
Sean Daily:

Absolute Albert is perfectly normal? Poor guy...
  4:36pm
still b/p:

The Monster Mash meets Spike Jones meets Devo.
  4:37pm
Cecile:

yes, b/p and I feel a little Daevid Allen and NY Gong in there - a la Punk Rock City.

Which DJ Ken Freedman used to start his show with back in the WCBN daze...
  4:39pm
still b/p:

Hum it for me...
  4:41pm
Carmichael:

I have about 20 minutes to peruse the comments, lament over the playlist I missed, and post something constructive.

Nothin' so far, except I missed Wildman Fischer, dammit.

Irwin, are you able to dig up some Gary Usher surf stuff for a recent pledger? If it's any consolation, I turned 2 friends on to the "Off the Charts" documentary. They're now big Rodd Keith fans.
  4:41pm
Cecile:

"Hello? Hello! Hello? Hello!"
that's how that one started.

And the chorus was "let's go to punk rock city..."
  4:42pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Chusid plays Manilow? I'm shuddering at the idea -- haven't yet figured out whether from extreme horror, extreme pleasure, or both. Or neither.
  4:43pm
Carmichael:

I don't seem to have the patience for Daevid Allen. Or Dagmar Krausse, for that matter.
  4:49pm
umourman:

aw yeah
  4:50pm
Parq:

I dunno why, but I like the bird calls on Trouble's show better. Or as she says, DJ Trouble.

And as I've said before, this big-beat country is just fine with me.
  4:51pm
BSI:

any bird that actually picks up lines from that CD will become a pagan god. ....hell, I'd pray to it.
  4:55pm
BSI:

or actually, I'd love a parrot that chants
"no, I'm Richard Kostelanetz..."
  4:55pm
?:

PLEASE
  4:55pm
frenchee:

Thanks for all the shirts, IC! Shadow plaid rules.
  4:55pm
Cecile:

Or "I'm King Kamanawanahea and you're the Royal Macadamia Nuts"
  4:56pm
Carmichael:

Or, "My name is Laaaaaarry ...."
  4:58pm
Cecile:

Or "Oh God, Please send me a kid! I could buy it a donut every day!"

here's another one:
"KENNY! Get off the mic!"
  4:59pm
Cecile:

Ferrante and Teicher! The twin pianos of EZ listening...
  5:01pm
patrick:

the more this goes on the more it grows on me. kind of like WFMU in general.
  5:01pm
Sean Daily:

Or "Please God, help me! This crazy bitch turned me into a parrot!"
  5:03pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

I am totally tickled that the lovely volunteer with whom I just spoke recognized my name from the comments board of the late, lamented Incorrect Music! Thanks, Zoe!
  5:03pm
Glenn L:

Yay! I love J & H productions!
Or things pertaining to J & H productions.
  5:04pm
Parq:

We had a budgie once that learned to shriek our daughter's name in the same exasperated tone that it always heard us using.
  5:04pm
BSI:

J&H Productions is an immortal classic.
haven't heard this in ages.
  5:05pm
Jimmy Safechuck:

Good news for J&H Productions:

  5:06pm
AnAnonymousParty:

My grandparents had a parrot who, for no matter how much they tried, refused to learn any phrase they tried to teach it but would instead suddenly start repeating three or four words out of some random sentence it heard in passing, things like "I'm on the phone", or "he went home" and "so was Ted" and would always throw them out when they least made sense.
  5:08pm
BSI:

and for the true completist...
http://tinyurl.com/a9nvst

Denise in Washington, DC:

Oh my gawd.
  5:09pm
Glenn L:

I love links pertaining to J&H productions!
  5:12pm
AnAnonymousParty:

I may never eat jerked pork again.
  5:12pm
Leon Trotsky:

Yankee man, my advice is don't take Sparrow's bet.
  5:13pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

I'd like to thank the Academy . . .

Seriously, thanks for the parakeet compilation. I'm particularly tickled that Irwin immediately knew that I'd like it.
  5:16pm
Cecile:

that onion article is awesome.
  5:17pm
Sean Daily:

Woo hoo! Clark! Where one of my co-workers got pulled over - three times, no less - because she was black!
  5:17pm
Leon Trotsky:

Can you book him for 7SD?
  5:17pm
Carmichael:

Great, now I missed The Mighty Sparrow too. I'm leaving for a meeting in twenty minutes, maybe Gary Usher would fit right about there.

Oh, how art imitates life .....
  5:19pm
Cecile:

DJ Nick the Bard
  5:21pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

I'm amazed -- I didn't realize the J&H Productions phenomenon had expanded so far.
  5:23pm
trent:

keili can you ask irwin to put this madonna reverb on your voice?
  5:27pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Personally, I'd like to hear the Madonna reverb applied to Mel Blanc's voice.
  5:27pm
Parq:

Way cool. I didn't know Mel Blanc recorded novelty cuts under his own name.
  5:38pm
Cecile:

I still think Craig Finn would be a great rapper...
  5:49pm
bike:

kelei = new favorite on air personality
  5:53pm
AnAnonymousParty:

So, Maynard Fergusson has to kick off every 'Touchy'?
  5:54pm
bike:

sorry! keili!
  5:56pm
AnAnonymousParty:

I think the Touchy has the greatest impact when it sounds like it was recorded in an alley.
  5:58pm
Jimmy Safechuck:

Modern country music never met a cliché it didn't like, did it?
