Good afternoon Irene, hello one and all
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:58am
listener james from westwood:

Good Monday, Irene and all! And holy yikes with that roof getting inundated—I'm sorry!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:01pm
Irene Trudel:

Hi Sean, james and all listening in! Yes, it was a very wet night but I was able to catch the water before it did more damage and scooped up the falling plaster. Now it's in the Super's hands to get fixed.
Avatar 12:02pm
βrian:

The one time my spouse calls me super is when the roof leaks.

Brian in UK:

Hello Irene, nothing worse than the plink, plink of dripping water. Hope it gets sorted out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:03pm
Sean in Bristol UK:

Hey Listener James. Irene, sorry to see the leaking problems, guessing a torrent of rain
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:04pm

(I think we might be on the Drummer stream, still? Hearing a high life–sounding track.)

Listener Robert:

I knew from your photos that you were on the Upper West Side facing west, but didn't know you were on the top floor, always thought you were at least one flight below there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm
Irene Trudel:

Hi βrian and Brian! My guy Peter was on the case getting a call in for repairs. Oops, james! I clicked on the test stream instead of the live one. All sorted out now.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 12:06pm
Kevin / Ringwood / UK:

Was that the audio equivalent of a handbrake turn just now?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:07pm
doctorjazz:

Hi!
Always liked the James Gang back in the day...

I'd say it was more like manually pulling out the coupling pin from the locomotive or truck.

Repairing soffit and fascia today.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:09pm
Sean in Bristol UK:

So I am not going to search or go onto Wikipedia and not wanting to sound thick but Joe Walsh on vocals?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:10pm
Irene Trudel:

Yep Kevin! Big oopsie on my side. Heyo, Threemoons, doctorjazz and Robert! Yeah, we'r on the top floor of our building and we've had other leaks in the past. This was pretty bad. But Peter experienced one years before we met following a roof repair that wasn't finished before a storm. Destroyed the bedroom!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm
TonyR:

My mom had a roof problem for years. We offered roofers thousands, but access was via an abandoned neighboring property whose 2 owners were dead or in jail. I finally had to butch up and apply some flashing cement to the top. The front of her house had a beautifully engineered roof to promote runoff. The back was just a level-flat slab, added in the 1980s. The front was built in 1910.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm
Irene Trudel:

Sean, Joe Walsh's voice is certainly hard to miss. This was one of his first groups. Good album but a lot more rockin' than that track.
Avatar 12:13pm
Annabella in Crewkerne UK:

Hey Irene, greetings fellow listeners, sorry to see the photo of your leaking ceiling
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:15pm
Sean in Bristol UK:

As a Joe Walsh fan I should have known, thank you for pointing me in the direction of checking out The James Gang
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:17pm
TonyR:

Yeah, I saw James Gang on the list, but what I heard was no James Gang. Roofs. Ugh. Worry about the roof, not the setlist.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:19pm
Irene Trudel:

TonyR, that was the problem at the top of the show. Excited by news of a repair, I temporarily forgot what I was doing. Sounds like quite a repair you had to deal with too!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:20pm
TonyR:

That IT has included the dripping in the vid just adds to the horror. [Pulls at hair. screams.]
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:22pm
doctorjazz:

Sorry to hear that, Irene!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm
coelacanth∅:

g'morning Irene, all

great james gang song! 'too bad Walsh left that band, the only great thing he ever did
but we got a few great albums out of it
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:26pm
Summer and Michael and Sylvia:

Good morning-ish, Irene! Bit of rain through the roof, here, as well!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm
listener james from westwood:

A visit to Anderson's universe is always welcome, esp. w/ the Kronos Quartet stringing along!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:29pm
coelacanth∅:

when i look at hundreds of 7"records with moldy, torn sleeves stuck to them i don't think how beautiful; i think how catastrophic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:31pm
listener james from westwood:

Also pleased that the skies are slowly matching the color of this playlist background. I'd thought we were getting rain straight through tomorrow, but blue poking through.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:31pm
TonyR:

Anderson eventually used the word "catastrophic". Good, because I was tensing up. Ruined records just freakin' slay me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm
Irene Trudel:

Hey coelacanth∅, and Summer and Michael and Sylvia! also sorry about your leaks. Luckily the record and CD collection is far from our ceiling drips. That WOULD be catastrophic in my world.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm
listener james from westwood:

@coel: Reminds me of what Sandy did to Norton Records (shudder).
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm
TonyR:

Philly forecast is non-zero chance of spritzes through the day. Beautiful ATM, however.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:35pm
Irene Trudel:

TonyR, WFMU Station Manager Ken lost most of his LP collection in the basement of his Hoboken home due to Hurricane Sandy. I'm hoping the damage wasn't too bad for Storm Henri, although RI got hit.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm
TonyR:

Oh man. I remember the station putting up a map of where the Sandy water reached in Jersey City, and the water line was literally kitty-corner from the station.

annie:

speaking of Ms Anderson, i finally listened/watched "Heart of a "Dog". she's a true story-teller. then i got two books from powell's: "Heart of a Dog" and "Master and Margarita". i dug right into the dog book; man he has a twisted sense of realiy, but i love it. MaM i've read several times and i wanted the pair, due to the cover illutrator's work. and i'm terrible sorry for all y'all's water woes, we had many down here in WNC. reminiscent of what happened to the campsites along the esopus back in '06. Mother-Water does not fool around.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:39pm
Irene Trudel:

Oh, james that's right. Norton Records' disaster was catastrophic! WFMU's building got a lot of damage taht we had to pay out of pocket, thanks to Gov. Christie's chaotic rollout of financial aid.

Here comes the sun and Irene begins her show. What more can one ask for? (ok....maybe a few other things, but lets just pretend all is well everywhere)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm
Irene Trudel:

Hi annie! I loved "Heart of a Dog." It was a memorial not only to her Rat-Terrier but also to Lou. Very moving. That damage in The Catskills really hit home for me, as we have good friends who live in that area.
Avatar 12:43pm
βrian:

We got hammered in 2018, but being on high ground saved us. West of us they got almost 16 inches of rain in one night. I recall the noise of the falling water was deafening.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45pm
Doug Schulkind:

In can appreciate taking a leak, Irene. But isn't this going a bit far?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:52pm
Irene Trudel:

Ha! Hiya Doug!

Sean in Bristol UK:

I think a rental of ‘Heart of a Dog’ is in order, been meaning to watch this
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:56pm

Thanks alanr! I also appreciate your advice on FB about our leak. We actually got a response this morning. I think the pictures I texted might've helped move things along.

Duck Baker is amazing! He did great albums (I recently found on vinyl) of Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols (2 separate albums).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:29pm
