WFMU: Old Codger with Courtney T. Edison: Playlist from January 21, 2021

Listener comments!
	3:18pm Lolabelle Pancake: Those ladies are "testing models" at Delbarton Labs.
	4:32pm Pierre Delecto: Mom, is that you?
	5:25pm Listener Robert: You mean your Mom is in the sack?
	5:28pm Lolabelle Pancake: Hello Roberto and Pierre. Courtney says that's quite a bevy of lulus.
	♥ 5:35pm rrg: Greetings, one and all. That's...four of us in all so far.
	5:44pm Lolabelle Pancake: Is anybody listening to Fablio right now? His reign of criminality continued unabated. He is the worst lead-in for Courtney, chasing away all listeners with good musical taste.
	♥ 5:46pm rrg: I leave the volume set at zero until 6pm. Otherwise the headaches would spoil my enjoyment of Courtney's program.
	5:49pm HyperDose: Is it rude to arrive to the poutin' shanty (or is it a no-nonsense shack now?) early?
	5:56pm Lolabelle Pancake: Early arrivals are welcome and treated with customary hospitality.
	5:57pm Lolabelle Pancake: Fablio is playing a recording by a man who can't sing. He sounds like he's in pain. I know I am.
	♥ 6:01pm rrg: I like the way you're stepping up the information on the playlist, Lolabelle.
	6:01pm HyperDose: Courtney really chose "Gettin' Dirty Just Shakin' That Thing" over "Head Rag Hop"? This is not board of standards and practices approved material. He must be stopped!
	6:02pm Lolabelle Pancake: We have to provide all this extraneous information for two weeks because of the SoundExchange Mafia.
	♥ 6:03pm rrg: Courtney will play everything that's good. We just need to be patient. He has more 78s than you've had hot dinners.
	♥ 6:03pm ultradamno: Always such an abrupt transition into the sounds of professional musicians when this show starts
	♥ 6:03pm Pauly from Clifton: Good evening, Miss Lolabelle, Courtney, ladies, and gentlemen!
	♥ 6:03pm dale: ammonium sulfate makes a woman more fertile as it is a fertilizer. or it kills her. i forget which.
	♥ 6:04pm G: Back in the gutter already, I see haha Was letting a Leo Ferre album finish, so I'm slightly late
	6:04pm HyperDose: Do foil-clad TV dinners count? I was a latchkey kid.
	6:06pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Howdy Codgers
	♥ 6:07pm G: Speaking of the gallows, a fellow listener was asking me if Irwin had been sent to the rice paddies for re-education. Doing my best Col Klink, I said "I know notheeengk."
	6:07pm Lolabelle Pancake: Good evening and welcome all. Getting crowded here in the shanty! We might have to move some guests into the Sulking Shed.
	6:07pm Mailman Tom: Nice photo you've posted
	6:07pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Dale, is it smokable?
	6:07pm HyperDose: I will not sulk unless explicitly asked to!
	♥ 6:09pm WR: poor memory, he pulled Courtney's pants down. i remember it well, we was all laughing.
	♥ 6:10pm Webhamster Henry: Hi there Mr. Edison and Miss Pancake.
	♥ 6:10pm dale: davefrombrooklyn - best as a chaw.
	6:11pm Lolabelle Pancake: Remember, if anyone finds a copy of the lost film FLIP THE FROG SINGS THE BLUES, please call Courtney immediately. I'll post his phone number here. It is "6."
	6:12pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Dale, thanks, I had the bowl filled and ready to fire....phew!
	6:12pm Constance De Witt: Hmmm, that music is so new...
	6:12pm Ethyl: Si si si!!!!!
	♥ 6:12pm Webhamster Henry: These Ammonium Sulphate girls might be pals with the Cement Girls. www.centuryhouse.org...
	♥ 6:13pm Ike: @G@6:07, jeez, give us some time. We formed a bounty-hunting party for Irwin but some wiseacre directed us to an organic grass-fed pickle-flavored frozen-yogurt shop and now we're stuck there. You can't get liberal bounty hunters away from organic pickle fro-yo for anything. Well-played, friends of Irwin.
	♥ 6:14pm Webhamster Henry: LSD : Pounds, Shilling, Pence you drug-addled youngsterd.
	♥ 6:14pm dale: i like the cement girls - but so much leg showing!
	6:14pm Mailman Tom: I watched a movie that starred George Formby. A natural comedian.
	♥ 6:14pm dave wuz here: nice pins on the sulphate sisters
	♥ 6:17pm loveless: Mildred Bailey is becoming my new favorite singer. I love every cut that gets a spin.
	♥ 6:18pm G: @Lolabelle: Check with Ub Iwerks' living relatives etc., duh. -- For years I told people there were missing James Joyce mss. from the 1910s-30s out there somewhere, because there were notebooks that covered part of a Ulysses episode but not the rest of it. So things that existed were clearly missing. People said I was crazy. But then dozens of items turned up in the closet of a relative of a Paris acquaintance of Joyce's, in whose closet they'd been sitting for decades after he "temporarily" left Paris in 1939, never to return. National Library of Ireland bought them for millions of euros, back around 2000. -- People often do not know what lost gem is taking up space in their garage.
	6:20pm HyperDose: These lyrics were ahead of their time!
	6:21pm (Murakami Whywolf))): It turned out nicely, didn't it? (My feed's delayed.) A little bit of "Mysterious Mose" at the end.
	6:23pm Listener Robert: Doesn't James Joyce read as if it had already been put together from shuffled notebook pages found wrapping fish?
	♥ 6:25pm G: @Robert: As long as you don't think about it enough to see the structures and logic.
	6:26pm HyperDose: Having the blues is a guaranteed side effect of drinking Moxie. Nasty stuff
	♥ 6:29pm WR: Albert Collins did Master Charge pretty nicely, just gotta get the right angle. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 6:30pm G: Does a HEPA filter cleanse the lingering afterscent of Rancho Malarios?
	♥ 6:30pm ultradamno: Some suggestive Bodenheim language for tobaccy
	6:30pm HyperDose: Gus was the Keith David of his day
	6:31pm Laura L: Delbarton men have all the fun!
	6:32pm Lolabelle Pancake: Gus has a certain je ne sais wot?
	6:34pm Lolabelle Pancake: Babe Blake quit show business and raised a large family. She gave birth to countless Blake babies.
	♥ 6:34pm G: I can't help but imagine some 32-yo RIAA or ASCAP clerk trying to make head or tails of "a mean little 78"
	♥ 6:34pm Webhamster Henry: I just saw this Short about an hour ago. Babe Click (or Blake or whatever) looks suspiciously like Mea Questel.
	♥ 6:35pm Webhamster Henry: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 6:35pm dale: saw a 1930 movie with jack benny. who knew he could be a ladies man and play it straight?
	♥ 6:37pm dale: 'medicine man'
	6:38pm Lolabelle Pancake: Opening lines of Billie Holiday's autobiography: "Mom and dad were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was 18, she was 15, and I was three."
	6:38pm Mailman Tom: Thank you Webhamster Henry
	♥ 6:39pm Webhamster Henry: It popped up and I immediately thought of the Codger.
	6:40pm Lolabelle Pancake: Everybody got popcorn? A Flip the Frog motion picture is coming up soon!
	♥ 6:40pm G: @Lolabelle 6:38: They started family values young in them times.
	♥ 6:44pm dale: lolabelle - i've heard of preemies but that's crazy!
	6:45pm Lolabelle Pancake: This Flip the Frog motion picture soundtrack was a pivotal influence on Bernard Hermann. He told Courtney about it during a visit to the shanty years ago.
	6:46pm Listener Robert: You know, Ms. Pancacke, I think I can hear a bit of "North by Northwest" in this.
	♥ 6:46pm Webhamster Henry: This little "come outta there" bit was totally integrated into the soundtrack for "Vertigo".
	6:47pm HyperDose: They exchanged pleasantries over glasses of ice cold Moxie, no doubt.
	6:47pm Listener Robert: Oh no, sorry, what I was remembering was the soundtrack to the promotional film for the snack bar at the showing of "North by Northwest".
	6:50pm Lolabelle Pancake: Did you catch Mickey Rooney's cameo?
	6:51pm Listener Robert: Hmm, seems like Schubert was similarly influenced by the Frog sound track.
	♥ 6:52pm ultradamno: The way Courtney says Flip..THE FROG sounds like he's giving someone at the grill orders.
	♥ 6:52pm Webhamster Henry: It's actually called Movie Mad (released Nov 9, 1931) but whatevs.
	♥ 6:52pm G: Smug Frog learned every trick he knows from Flip, the OG cartoon frog.
	♥ 6:53pm WR: play guitar Danny, play guitar. ❤❤❤❤❤
	6:53pm Listener Robert: Was that on the Scratched Off label?
	♥ 6:53pm G: The Liable Label.
	♥ 6:56pm rrg: I'm pleased but surprised to hear Rudy Vallee on Courtney's show. Didn't they have a falling out years ago?
	6:56pm HyperDose: @ultradamno Flip The Frog burgers were given out at the premiere, along with a pack of chaw
	6:58pm Lolabelle Pancake: Rudy tried putting the moves on Sophie Tucker in her dressing room while Courtney was out getting her a snack of brisket and knishes. When he came back, he slugged Rudy and knocked out four teeth. At least that's what Courtney told me. There are no photos. Sophie wouldn't talk.
	♥ 6:58pm rrg: This was Rudy Vallee's theme song for his radio show. As he just said, I guess.
	7:00pm HyperDose: Thank you Courtney and Lolabelle. I'm off to the Sulking Shed!
	♥ 7:00pm G: Irwin learned every single thing he knows about calypso and old ukelele music from Courtney.
	♥ 7:00pm radioronan: Thanks Lolabelle..thanks Courtney!
	♥ 7:00pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the show, Codger! I'll be buying a Bodenheim Chawsack when I cash out my swear jar.
	7:01pm Lolabelle Pancake: Irwin used to host a radio show on WFMU during the 1990s. Courtney remembers him.
	7:07pm fabrizio: hello everyone, I follow you from Italy in streaming. you are my favorite radio
