Wed. 5/27/09 3:10pm From: Lizardner Dave

Afternoon all. Nice Memorial Day blog post Irwin. Oh yeah, and RSM is looking for you on Facebook.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:10pm From: annie

what we have to endure...

Wed. 5/27/09 3:11pm From: Irwin

Thank you Mr. Lizardner!

Wed. 5/27/09 3:11pm From: to a MR. irwin

Wed. 5/27/09 3:11pm From: Cecile

Irwin!

Wed. 5/27/09 3:12pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Ah Memorial Day, when we get 12" of rain in less than 12 hours.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:14pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

those drugs never truly wear off.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:15pm From: mb

Thanks again for the Marco. This ones my fave! Great version on Best Reason to Buy the Sun also.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:18pm From: Cecile

can you play some Boots Randolph or Duane Eddy?

Wed. 5/27/09 3:19pm From: annie

or something for isadora duncan's birthday??

Wed. 5/27/09 3:23pm From: Ike

Wow, that song by Miss Jeannie is total genuine entertainment. And it sounds less plasticky than hot country. Seriously. Also, it combines multiple Irwin obsessions: Incorrect music, modern country, and female vocals. Plus sin and alcohol! What more could you want?

Wed. 5/27/09 3:23pm From: PMD

Lizardner Dave, I was going to mention that to him also. Hi Irwin and all!

Wed. 5/27/09 3:24pm From: Cecile

aw lee michaels. The lost hitmaker of the 70s

Wed. 5/27/09 3:25pm From: brother lucy

or some sex pistols? May 27, 1977: After the pressing plant initially refuses to duplicate the record and the printer refuses to make the covers, Virgin finally releases "God Save the Queen" by the Sex Pistols in time for the monarch's Jubilee celebration.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:29pm From: Marshall Stacks

God Save the Irwin!

Wed. 5/27/09 3:30pm From: Lizardner Dave

How is it that Kenny never played Amanda? Or did he?

Wed. 5/27/09 3:30pm From: Ike

Jeez, how could I forget the optigan?

Wed. 5/27/09 3:31pm From: jan

Irwin: so often in the past, when you introduced new artists to us,
you would provide extensive information about the artist... so tell us, please, all about Amanda!

Wed. 5/27/09 3:31pm From: to a MR. amanda

you got it baby

Wed. 5/27/09 3:31pm From: Peteski

is this a permanent time slot for you [IC]? I'm going to have to move a few things around. Have you seen the remote?

Wed. 5/27/09 3:32pm From: Bad Ronald

Yeah, the B-Side "Did You No Wrong" would be cool...

Wed. 5/27/09 3:33pm From: frenchee

"Amanda" sounds quite a bit like Bronwyn C. on a bender.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:40pm From: ginger tim

Today's Theme:
Women with one name

Wed. 5/27/09 3:44pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

conga line starts HERE!

Wed. 5/27/09 3:46pm From: Ike

Apparently Santogold had to change her name to Santigold because of legal action from an infomercial actor and possible incorrect music artist called Santo Gold.

One of Santigold's songs really sounds a lot like the Police. But in a good way.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:47pm From: Andy Breckman

That story has something for everyone. People who like Santo. People who like Santi. People who like gold. People who like legal action.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:53pm From: Cecile

Isadora was Preston Sturges' mom's best friend during his itinerant European childhood.

Wed. 5/27/09 3:53pm From: annie

wow..

Wed. 5/27/09 3:55pm From: annie

thanks irwin... i have the scarf to prove it.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:00pm From: still b/p

Preston said his mom gave Isadora the very scarf/shawl that the car wheel caught.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:03pm From: Cecile

yep!

Wed. 5/27/09 4:05pm From: annie

team her up with meredith monk.. i loved her memoir..

Wed. 5/27/09 4:07pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

she's mad, isn't she?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:07pm From: PMD

Don't get mad. Get glad.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:08pm From: Cecile

where did you find the Amanda disc? You can answer that, right?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:09pm From: Parq

This is a rarity, all right.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:09pm From: jeremy the listener

"then won't you eat my pee" i can say this is the first time in my life i've ever heard this phrase. thank you irwin!

Wed. 5/27/09 4:10pm From: still b/p

Where is magical Amanda today, 20 years on, and doing what?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:11pm From: Kathy C

Oh please we need more data, I agree with Cecile - WHERE can we get this crack?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:11pm From: Cecile

bwah, Billy Joe McAlister Jr.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:11pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

try as you may, he ain't talkin'!

Wed. 5/27/09 4:15pm From: jeremy the listener

alabama... that's awesome

Wed. 5/27/09 4:20pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

mmm, time to dig out those old Nice LPs...

Wed. 5/27/09 4:32pm From: A Discourse on Dickhorse

Is it just me or does Ariel Pink rip this Tommny Jay song off at least 5 times per Haunted Graffiti album?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:37pm From: J-Mar

for all you Amanda fans out there, here's a MySpace devoted to her genius. I think this might have gotten posted a week or two ago:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=385080024

Wed. 5/27/09 4:38pm From: Cecile

Frangry and Andy.
Oh. dear. lord.
I hope she's drunk.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:42pm From: Ike

Cecile: 100% agreed.

Breckman + Frangry = combining anti-matter and red matter? It will either create a giant explosion or a black hole that will swallow the planet. Or both. But seriously, there's no "straight man" in that arrangement, so how will it work?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:45pm From: Cecile

I don't know, but i can tell you right now, it will not be as pleasing to witness as Leonard Nimoy's encore performance as the wizened Spock.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:48pm From: Parq

"Wizened Spock" = GNFAB

Wed. 5/27/09 4:49pm From: PMD

I liked seeing Nimoy...

Wed. 5/27/09 4:50pm From: Marshall Stacks

I predict Andy will play the Bemused Straight Man and Frangry will be the Kooky Female.

Or maybe it will be a train wreck.

These are not mutually exclusive.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:50pm From: Cecile

he did the elder role very well.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:51pm From: Jess

So, does that mean that Frangry is herself the Fatal Flaw?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:54pm From: Parq

'Cile, who, Nimoy or Andy?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:55pm From: Ike

Frangry has always been the fatal flaw. Except when men walk into the room and automatically begin to do her bidding, at which point you've got mutiple, interconnected fatal flaws.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:55pm From: Cecile

Nimoy.

Wed. 5/27/09 4:57pm From: annie

i turn the radio off for that show.. sorry i just can't stand it.. i'd rather listen to amanda!!

Wed. 5/27/09 4:58pm From: Parq

Annie, what effect do you think it might have if you played Amanda to your garden plants?

Wed. 5/27/09 4:58pm From: Cecile

the best shows they ever did was when they were wasted during the marr-a-thon.

Wed. 5/27/09 5:00pm From: annie

parq, you should see the puppy go crazy... and i have the plants out of earshot .. they'd drop dead..

Wed. 5/27/09 5:10pm From: PMD

Andy was apparently in on the joke...

Wed. 5/27/09 5:12pm From: Seattle

Amanda is getting kinda old, don't you think?

Wed. 5/27/09 5:13pm From: to a mr. seattle

nah

Wed. 5/27/09 5:14pm From: Parq

This year's crop of summer interns just filed out in a row, all serious ties and serious expressions. All these years of listening to Spazz and I reflexively thought, "We got rid of that crowd! Now we can swing, baby!"

Wed. 5/27/09 5:14pm From: Turbo

Hey Irwin, Great show, please play "Candy pants" thank you thank you

Wed. 5/27/09 5:14pm From: PMD

Does she want monkeys or buggys?

Wed. 5/27/09 5:15pm From: Irwin

Seattle: "Amanda is getting kinda old"

Almost 30 by now.

Wed. 5/27/09 5:16pm From: Lizardner Dave

Parq, you know that clip tha Spazz uses is Shep, right?

Wed. 5/27/09 5:17pm From: carl lafong

When are you playing the Papua New Guinea stringband music? Looking forward to Medocino or Love is All Around. Or Walkabout Long Chinatown!

Wed. 5/27/09 5:21pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Amanda is timeless.

Wed. 5/27/09 5:22pm From: Harold Bissonette

I don't know Carl LaFong - Capital L, small a, Capital F, small o, small n, small g. And if I did know Carl LaFong, I wouldn't admit it!

Wed. 5/27/09 5:27pm From: Peanut Gallery

Hey, just got here, how do you do? What did I miss? Playlist looks kind of wiggy...

Wed. 5/27/09 5:30pm From: AnAnonymousParty

There may, or may not have been a Happening.

Wed. 5/27/09 5:31pm From: Peanut Gallery

LD: I don't have a working cassette player in the house, but my Shep Meditation Tape plays in my mind all the time...heeb,heeb,heeb.

Wed. 5/27/09 5:32pm From: Peanut Gallery

AAP: Bought that 45 by The Supremes when I was 12. Yay!

Wed. 5/27/09 5:39pm From: Parq

Dave, re 5:16 - I never saw it confirmed in writing, but I always recognized the voice as his. Apparently, there's a rarely aired coda in which he hollers at the (presumably) returning patsy for coming back without permission.

Wed. 5/27/09 5:49pm From: annie

night all.. see you all tomorrow...

Wed. 5/27/09 5:50pm From: Cecile

have a great evening, annie!

Wed. 5/27/09 5:51pm From: Peanut Gallery

That's why I shouldn't drink beer (work on those taste buds, Irwin) in the afternoon -- can't tell Shep from Shemp, schlimazel from schlemiel, whatever, arrgh (weeps on fellow goobers).

Wed. 5/27/09 5:55pm From: Parq

"Weeps On Fellow Gooobers" would make a good -- oh never mind, it's too late in the day for that sort of thing. Party on, all.

Wed. 5/27/09 6:03pm From: Ike

Dammit, you were messing with us, eh Irwin? Why did I believe you? I'm sort of disappointed that there will be no gigantic planetary implosion resulting from Breckman + Frangry.
