Listener comments!

  3:02pm
Calendar:

@Show Motto: Or perhaps actually a fortnight ago, on the 13th.
  3:02pm
kat330:

That ladder looks absolutely unnecessary.

Speaking of space people, hello, Irwin! We're both returning from somewhere away.
  3:03pm
Dan B From Upstate:

What will space people look like? I'm sure they'll be the same color as the pinstripes on your suit!
  3:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: It's just a jump to the left...
  3:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

Space people will use their eyebrows to smell.
  3:04pm
Space person:

They look like me, duh.
  3:05pm
Dan B From Upstate:

They're suprisingly compact, despite being "space" people.
  3:06pm
Caryn:

I think the unnecessary ladder is there due to the space health & safety officials.
Avatar 3:06pm
Irwin:

Funny that they use handshakes on distant planets. Or they've studied our protocols.
  3:06pm
Exobiologist:

Space people: The Final Carmine
  3:07pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Will they enjoy listening to WFMU?
  3:08pm
Otis:

i think some of wfmu is programmed by Space people./
  3:08pm
Sunscreen Maker:

Their asses are white as rice. Wait till the dog pulls their trunks down.
  3:08pm
kat330:

Maybe s/he thinks he's handing over something. The one in the hatch appears concerned. Suppose he's the Howie Mandel of outerspace and will insist on hand sanitizer after contact.
  3:09pm
Caryn:

They might not know about handshakes, Irwin. The spaceman would be holding out his other hand then.
  3:09pm
Dan B From Upstate:

Yes, the one getting out is the only one with any modesty. The one waiting to grab the guy's hand is already nearly naked.
  3:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

The human thinks they're about to shake hands; but the spaceman? Who knows what he plans to use the hand for.
  3:11pm
G:

He's got a job buzzer inm his palm
  3:11pm
G:

joy buzzer. i've been typing too much for work today, waaaaah
  3:12pm
kat330:

The Earth dude must sing with a Barbershop Quartet.
  3:12pm
Droll:

I remember when I first landed and this scene played out. I was thinking "Awesome! Soylent Green comes in a red flavor, too!" but it turns out it's just food coloring. It's all pink goop before they put it into molds.
  3:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, this Spanky & Our Gang sounds like a weird "Banana Splits" type theme song.

Or, something TMBG would perform nowadays.
  3:15pm
kat330:

I guess the art department found a sale on pink and black.
  3:15pm
Mark in DC:

Bizarre even for Spanky/Gang.
  3:15pm
kat330:

Very S.O.C. lyrics.
  3:17pm
kat330:

Hey, Matt, made it to the KSC, but didn't calculate half enough time for immersion. Still, it was very cool. Atlantis will be housed there and open to the public a year from now.

Raffi:

Leopardskin Phone or Banana Phone: Which is Deadlier?

Space person:

In space, all you need is a collar, anklets and a utility belt (no pockets, see?)
  3:20pm
Matt from Springfield:

He was a Good Doctor indeed (as was John Sinclair).
  3:21pm
G:

I thought Ken furnished the meds??
  3:21pm
kat330:

Got ya beat, Irwin. I haven't been back since 1994.
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

@kat: Awesome! There's always more fun stuff than what you can calculate! :)
  3:22pm
G:

You weren't already out to lunch? :-)
  3:23pm
LA County Sheriff's Dept:

Those weren't awards, Mr. Chusid. We were issuing summons to you--you can bet you have warrants out now.
  3:23pm
kat330:

We had no idea, so we missed a ton of stuff. Now I know why they sell a "season pass" for a few dollars more than a single admission: People take 2-3 days to enjoy it.
  3:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Sometimes Ken doesn't taken enough meds, and remembers to put them away. Normally substances at FMU are whatever Ken left lying around.
  3:24pm
G:

Gotta drive, bbl
  3:25pm
Caryn:

That is so cool, kat! Hope to get there some day myself. Of course, not been to the States since 1998.
  3:26pm
kat330:

Be safe, G! Drive better than your typing today! :)
  3:27pm
kat330:

@Caryn: Yeah, seeing the space people theme here works for Cocoa Beach as well as for L.A. :) Kinda funny that Obama followed us down there and then he was on the tarmac at Atlanta when we were waiting for takeoff. If he's in Louisville next...hmmm.
  3:30pm
Caryn:

@kat: the space people picture is clearly a premonition. That's going to be you and PG landing in Louisville, only to be met by Obama. PG is happy to meet a president, but you're hanging back going. "What, him again?"
  3:31pm
kat330:

And remember, it was in Helsinki's airport we saw the then current Finnish prez! [don't recall her name, but she is Conan O'Brien in drag.]
  3:32pm
Caryn:

Yeah, I remember! You are clearly presidential stalking fodder. (the name's Tarja Halonen, BTW)
  3:33pm
kat330:

@Irwin: A nice, earthbound groove you have going on here.
  3:34pm
Caryn:

Suitable track for yarmulke day.
  3:34pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ha ha, "Walking Jewish"!
  3:34pm
Wild Guess:

Is this an unreleased Beastie Boys tune?
  3:37pm
Julian:

Wait, didn't I hear this on jm in the am?
  3:37pm
Morty the Agent:

They say any publicity is good publicity, but this? Ehhhh..might want to consider it again...
  3:37pm
listener David:

Don't think Nachum would play that!
  3:38pm
kat330:

@Caryn: Ah, thanks. Well, I'm multitasking to the hilt, so I'm more scarce than usual on the keyboards while catching back up with the world.
  3:38pm
Morty the Agent:

Hey, I got several people gigs in Advertising just this month!
  3:38pm
Wild Guess:

N. has the balls, but not the foreskin...
  3:39pm
Caryn:

First a Beastie Boys' side project, then last year's Irish Eurovision entry. Oh wait, that was a different song called "Lipstick"...
  3:40pm
paula pc:

I have not heard this Advertising song in forever...merci...
  3:40pm
northguineahills:

I would never recognize this as Freddie Mercury
  3:41pm
Matt from Springfield:

I was wondering if this was Freddie when I heard it progress! Awesome! New release, old bootleg?
Avatar 3:43pm
Irwin:

Pre-Queen
  3:44pm
G:

wiki: "Lover of Life, Singer of Songs (with the subtitle The Very Best of Freddie Mercury Solo) is a compilation album of Freddie Mercury's solo songs. It was released (except in the U.S.) on September 4, 2006, the day before the 60th anniversary of Mercury's birth."
  3:45pm
Matt from Springfield:

Leonard!! Is this the album version?
  3:47pm
Matt from Springfield:

Whole album of Pre-Queen Freddie--I should investigate that.

Yep, this is the album version of "One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong", the one with the distressed, "drunken" ending.
  3:47pm
Carmichael:

Hi there Irwin. Hi there folks.
  3:48pm
rrg:

Me too me too.
  3:48pm
Caryn:

Is it all pre-Queen, though, Matt? I mean, he did solo records while in Queen.
  3:49pm
G:

My classical guitar teacher in high school was big into Cohen in the early 70s. I ended up learning the arrangements from a published books of tabs he got me. How could I ever have performed songs like this in front of parents at a senior-class fundraiser at the American school in Sao Paulo, Brasil???? What do kids know...
  3:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

It's "Leonard Cohen funny"--and that about explains it all.
  3:51pm
G:

You guys need a Jesse Tree at this point
  3:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

Jesse *Krakow* -- the "Minor Music" host.
  3:51pm
kat330:

The Cohen brought me to attention, but G, you brought me to the keyboard again: How late into the '70s were you in an American school in Sao Paulo? Amazingly small world that I have a Swiss friend who taught English/lit at just such a school in S.P.
Avatar 3:52pm
Irwin:

Sorry about the Jesse mixup. DAMN ME!
  3:54pm
G:

I got moved around a lot. I spent my senior year of h.s. at the Escola Graduada de S.P., 74-75. Some siblings went to Chapel School in S.P. There were other US-curriculum private schools in the area.
  3:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Damn you, damn you, they oughta take a rope and"...um...uh, ham you??
  3:56pm
rrg:

With clues like that a determined stalker could identify you.
  3:57pm
kat330:

Hunh. I think "Herr Professor Deuss" got there in '77 or '78.
  3:58pm
G:

I actually considered that. One letter and one year of school. If someone is *that* interested, when they find me they should get in touch LOL
  3:59pm
Carmichael:

This sounds like a found tape of Vietnamese pop I picked up off the street in San Francisco.
  4:00pm
kat330:

Double piano duo.
  4:00pm
G:

I had a German teacher at "Graded" in 75, not Deuss. He was knowledgeable but angry, and it would not surprise me if he moved on soon after 75. :-) A sibling of mine graduated there in 1977, though.
  4:00pm
still b/p:

I want to see Bobby and Cissy dance to this.
  4:01pm
C-Pig:

Ferrante and Teicher. Very nice Irwin. Tasteful.
  4:01pm
kat330:

Non sequitur alert: I love Victor Borge. Guess I'll check the database to see if anyone else has at FMU over the years.
  4:02pm
kat330:

Lovely cover.
  4:03pm
G:

Waterloo Sunset: as good as anything the Beatles ever did, and better than most of their catalogue. Is that snarky, or my stab at a fair evaluation?
  4:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

This one goes out to DJ Julie.
  4:04pm
Muswell:

The aliens will be red, not green as we have anticipated, and they will be greeted by what appears to be a barber.
  4:05pm
Carmichael:

Works for me, G. I've always been a devout Kinks fan, much more so than the Beatles.
  4:05pm
Muswell:

Kinks can't hold the Beatles athletic supporter, or the Zombies or any of the others.
  4:06pm
G:

Stirring the pot can be good :-)
  4:07pm

Especially if you're cooking with beans.

Oh that's great Irwin!
You can steal Pseu's pop song selections with record speed now!

Chicago Underground Duo sounded great. I wish they were less "underground".

Speaking of Brownsville Station, Stephen King was a big Cub Coda (RIP) fan. And Iron City Houserockers.
  4:34pm

So did local FMU listeners get any bees in their bonnets? Strange NYC story to hear about on vacation.
  4:42pm

@TB: who cares? Can you list Irwin and the Old Codger's birthdays and settle who's the oldest?
  4:43pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Not the way I program my show". Phooey!
Nonexistent Theme Park with Irwin

Matt from Springfield:

Genre Surf Park with Irwin. Bring your own tokens.
  4:44pm
kat330:

@fred: Glad you said what I was thinking. Maybe it was in hopes of establishing the first entrant's paternity?
  4:47pm
fred:

@kat: I'd think any claimant to that paternity suit would have died of old age by now, they should be safe.
  4:49pm
kat330:

Um, the name at the top of T.B.'s list is what I was referring to.

Bedspinna:

This is flat out queasy. I may hurl.
  4:55pm
kat330:

Mmm, this is very interesting.
  4:57pm
fred:

@kat: that totally changes the meaning of "first entrant". Not sure either Irwin nor the Old Codger have a shot in court there. So they should be safe. Which doesn't settle who's the oldest, mind you
  4:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Raymond Scott on acid!
  4:58pm
Faktoidz:

The Old Codger is a Sagittarius who was born Feb. 29th, 1942 in Blair, Nebraska (Weighing a whopping 11 lbs. 8 ozs.). The son of a drawbridge oiler, his mother is said to be the inventor of Squirt.

Irwin was born April 20th. 1964 in Paducah, KY. Son of a decorated badminton instructor, he was forced to bleach birdies early on in life, accounting for his ultra-white hands. Irwin spent countless years as Trini Lopez guitar tech before assuming his position at WFMU. Weight 144 Height 6-2 Sign - Virgo
  4:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

Which in some ways is, admittedly, regular Raymond Scott.
  4:59pm
Faktoidz:

Correction. Codger is a Pisces.
  5:01pm
kat330:

@Faktoidz: Bet you have a bridge over the East River to sell, too.
  5:02pm
Matt from Springfield:

Until the volunteers are finished sending out swag. Then, they're ordered to break kneecaps of 7SD non-compliants. But, owing to Andy's influence more than Ken's, the volunteer muscle merely shows up at your door, chewing gum. They look at you a moment and walk away, saying "it doesn't matter..."
  5:03pm
fred:

@Faktoidz: that's laughable. The old codger being born in 1942, I might believe. Irwin in 1964, no way!
  5:05pm
kat330:

I am about 3 weeks older than Irwin [take that and run with it, potential stalkers per rrg's concerns] I'll accept '64. ;)

  5:07pm
Quentin:

I love reading about the Cardiff Giant.
  5:10pm
Droll:

If Irwin was born in 1964, that means his show on FMU started before he hit puberty. The archives don't go back that far, but YouTube has some airchecks from that era of his voice breaking up and playing jacks on the air for 20 minutes. Great shows.
  5:10pm
Quentin:

I also loved Calder's colorful Branniff jets.
  5:11pm
rrg:

Here's a factoid. If you click on the "All Artists played by Irwin" link on this page, you get a list with 7,124 lines in it. Perhaps more by the time you read this, people of the future.

Now there might be a few variations and alternate spellings in there, so the actual list might be a little smaller. But knowing Irwin, not much smaller.
  5:14pm
kat330:

AMEX Orchestra.
  5:15pm

And that's just from the shows for which there are online playlists. Which isn't even all the shows for which there are archives. And doesn't include the 25 years preceding the year 2000.

@Matt - It's a window into the 'process.' Actually quite bold.

And yes, Irwin's wiki page has a birthdate consistent with all other reliable sources I've seen. Can't tell you if it's *THE TRUTH!!!*, but, reliable sources are in agreement.

Matt from Springfield:

Re: Old Codger, Social Security began sending benefits in 1938, and so the Codger would have to be at least 65 then (born 1873 or before), as "The reason there's a Social Security crisis is because the Codger started collecting 66 years ago [in 2004] and he's STILL ALIVE!"

Lizardner Dave:

If Irwin is Kenyan how come I've never seen him win a marathon, huh? HUH??????

Mobster:

@fred: Yeah, FB is a bitch. Hard to slip away when it's so easy for people to keep up with you, who you'd, uh, rather not...
  5:32pm
Like Me:

Facebook, Twitter ... ugh. Being a participant in social media is almost manditory these days. Somehow Orwellian.

@Matt from Springfield: Thanks for showing me the so called SS crisis is a good thing!

Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: HUZZAH for the "Burmese Land" bed music!!!
  5:33pm
Bill:

Readin Irwin's wikipedia entry...would I be correct in concluding that Irwin was an influence on Stereolab?
  5:33pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Is that "Song of the Burmese Land" in the background on the piano?
  5:34pm
Denny Lyman:

Irwin's probably been to the Kaiser Aluminum-Domeā„¢

Denise in DC:

Damn. It is indeed. **aches with longing for The Incorrect Music Show**
  5:36pm
Carmichael:

Could the "Burmese Land" be Burma?
  5:36pm
fred:

@Bill: you're on your own as to what you conclude from wikipedia.
@Mobster: We know each other, and I think you actually owe me a Guinness, and I mean a pint, of course.

Droll:

It's odd people use aliases here on FMU where we say pretty pedestrian things, but use their real names on FB where everyone's watching to see if you say something embarrassing. I'm way more concerned about being stalked on FB than FMU.
  5:40pm
Bill:

Well, let's see if I can get ans answer from the man himself. Irwin: Could you please, within the confines of this message board, sumarize any pre-1993 encounters you may have had with any members, producers or associates of the band Stereolab?
  5:41pm
Isao:

FMU should go Quad.
  5:43pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Droll: Which could be why I'm not intimately involved with FB, yet say pretty crazy things on the FMU comment boards! Always express yourself under a moniker, just to be safe! :)
  5:44pm
PiLA:

What a great show, can't wait till Friday. Should I bring donuts?
  5:44pm
kat330:

@Droll: I think there's zero concern about being stalked from commenting at FMU. I've never really and will never (period) have a FB account.
  5:44pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Carm: "Burmese Land" is within Burma, but only to spiteful overseas expats who consider it "like Monkey Land". Comes from a "legendary" song-poem Irwin's played a lot.
  5:45pm
kat330:

See some of ya's on the other side. Fine show, I.

People, just go see Joe McPhee while he's alive and totally kicking ass. There will be time to discuss his worth later, but he's touring right now and an amazing musician.

Robert Alberg IS the KING of the one string fretless guitar.

The *soaring* voice of Robert Alberg...
  5:51pm
Droll:

I've been wearing these FMU shirts around Seattle for over a decade waiting for the day another FMU listener comes up to me to say "Hi". I don't think FB users have the same hopes for meeting strangers.

Deft fuckin' use of the censor button on our forbidding planet, Irwin!

Robert Alberg off the port bow, sir.

Wow, this Sugar Ray demo sounds way different than the finished record.

<plug> Thailand is certainly not Monkey Land...but in some parts, it's Monkey City! URBAN monkeys!

@L.Dave: Yeah, Sugar Ray used A LOT of technology in post-production to sound half decent!

Tolja I was driving. But the FM radio works. Primitive but serviceable.

Nice show today. Let's see if 7SD kicks it up a notch.

Thanks for a fun show Irwin!
Everyone, listen in on the strippers and yamalkes!
