	12:17pm steveo: i just looked up jazz in the dictionary and there's a picture of this song
	👻 12:18pm βrian: But the paint colors are outside the spectrum visible to humans, no doubt.
	12:18pm Hubig Pie: I looked up jazz and it said miscellaneous
	12:20pm steveo: fortunately my radio can translate that particular wavelength into sound vibrations
	12:23pm Andrew_in_WI: Does Andrew Bitd still live in Illinois, or has he gone Hollywood?
	12:23pm Kodakk Moment: lives in Monaco
	12:24pm Mike W: Monaco, Illinois, or Monaco, California?
	12:24pm tom tom the pipers son: joan didion's favorite drink was an ice cold coke and she'd get really pissed if someone drank the last one.
	12:26pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Irwin and Everyone. The meeting went well.
	12:27pm the lonely phillip: July 4th weekend. Not many fill-ins
	12:28pm BerkeleyGuy: The definition I know is "group improvisation on a melody"
	12:28pm the lonely phillip: Not a good morning for me. I had to walk to the bronx zoo to use their fee free atm to get my check
	12:31pm Kamp Climax: Mark E. Smith's private diary definition of jazz: "lines loose then tightens up-ah, blows Nabakov wordplay like-ah; colding then heating-ah; tremors shivers-ah; Webster 3rd, shove off-ah; I mark words-ah; I mark words-ah"
	12:32pm Carmichael: I grew up across the street from Joan Didion on Fair Oaks Blvd. She was about 10 years older. They had horses ...
	12:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hatchie must really like The Cure's jangly 80's guitar sound effect on that solo. Also, they sound a bit like Grass Record's (remember them??) Chimera.
	👻 12:34pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Loving the set! Thx Irwin!
	12:34pm tom tom the pipers son: @carmichael... wow thats neat, ever catch her chugging a coke?
	12:34pm Kamp Climax: Joan Didion's lines about describing her husband's death in the Year of Magical Thinking scares the shit out of me. It come so fast and at such odd times.
	12:35pm Carmichael: Rarely saw her, tom tom. Big ass house, large grounds, etc ...
	12:36pm tom tom the pipers son: i see...
	12:37pm the lonely phillip: Man it's getting hot here in the little Italy section of the bronx
	12:37pm ryansterlingvirtue: Loving todays show!
	12:37pm steveo: at least you're not in Hell's Kitchen
	12:40pm P-90: Irwin’s sitting just fine is the Friday Blender slot. I approve. It works for me.
	👻 12:41pm karlward: I can barely even hear the blender
	👻 12:41pm karlward: What gives?
	12:43pm steveo: the blender is still spinning, but the blades are undergoing renovation
	👻 12:43pm karlward: No, I figured it out steveo, we are all spinning at the exact same rate, that's why we don't hear it
	12:44pm steveo: that explains why i feel so dizzy
	👻 12:44pm karlward: This also explains why my coffee is all over the goddamn wall
	👻 12:44pm karlward: At least I hope it does
	12:45pm the lonely phillip: Still miss Bryce. But I soo love having IRWIN back
	👻 12:46pm DjLorraine: The lonely phillip literally checking in-to the zoo. Stay hydrated my friend
	12:47pm Carmichael: I suppose I should correctify my blender for today's event.
	12:47pm the lonely phillip: @DjLorraine yes. Yes. Plenty of cold bottled water. And my insulin
	12:48pm steveo: just looked down and i am wearing my blender shirt today.. no coffee stains either
	👻 12:48pm karlward: You have mastered the blender. Don't ever turn your back on the blender though.
	12:49pm the lonely phillip: Was a long walk to the walgreens on E Fordham road to pickup my insulin pens
	12:53pm the lonely phillip: Who broke the riteaid ATM at 592 East 183st
	👻 12:54pm DjLorraine: I wonder if Gus is working today or is he out exercising his freedoms
	12:55pm Irwin: Gus is in the house, and in his cups.
	12:58pm zopa: "exercising his freedoms"... a particularly apt turn of phrase given recent developments. Nice one DJLorraine!
	12:59pm Tom from Stirling: If you stop and pay attention, that Iraqi Blues tune was really good. But you have to pay attention.
	12:59pm RevWaldo: Hi Irwin! Missed Cruella De Ville! Did they ever put out a full album?
	1:02pm Tom from Stirling: Bill Bruford was a big admirer of Jeff Garland. Jeff was kind enough to step in for Tony Levin when he got sick on an AWB&H tour.
	1:04pm P-90: A “more expansive” Gus sounds like it might be a cause for concern ?
	1:07pm the lonely phillip: Wow! Is that man always in such a foul mood.
	1:07pm P-90: Everyone enjoying those “brain secretions”?
	1:07pm N'Lo: 😂🤣🤣😂🤣 😱😥😰😰asmr gives me the absolute willies!
	1:08pm Mark from Columbus Ohio: Thanks for introducing me to Fanclub Wallet. Bandcamped it. Bought it.
	1:08pm rx scabin: Misophonia hell = asmr
	👻 1:08pm chris in the redwoods: 'relaxturbation' hehe
	1:08pm the lonely phillip: Ewwwe. He just made me cringe
	1:08pm Harry Corvair: "Oral moisture." Exactly what we need - and what we do not need - to hear right now.
	1:08pm chresti: whispering is more tolerable than lip smacking
	1:09pm dday: Dave Hill twice in one day...Still needs to lose the bowl haircut & silver shoulder pads
	1:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This both brilliant and disgusting.
	1:09pm unpopularfred: ASMR makes me want to break things
	1:10pm the lonely phillip: That's not arousal. It's my skin crawling
	1:10pm WR: Good going Gus. Full on chuckles here.
	1:10pm Hubig Pie: I can only tolerate whispering if it's done really loud
	1:10pm morphe': Did someone misplace the Ken Nordine LPs ??? (sp?)
	1:12pm the lonely phillip: I havent been this grossed out 🤮 since I was 10
	1:12pm joe mulligan: party at Brian Wilson's house! he's giving the directions
	1:14pm zopa: That's the first time I've heard that Beach Boys song. Delightful!
	1:14pm RevWaldo: Ahhh Taster's Choice..(slllllluuuuurrrrpppp)
	1:14pm morphe': Hubig - you should a guy I grew up with in Bklyn 70s = Bossman - he whispered at Vol 11 and cupped his hand over his mouth simultaneously ... never got that CIA job ...
	1:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Vero sounds like they are from 1991.
	1:20pm hoeg: 1991 was great fun to be fair
	1:21pm hoeg: that painting is making me think of the girl who 'inspired' the song i Don't like Mondays
	1:21pm Irwin: 1991, pretty good year for music. Actually any year is good for music. Except, according to poll after poll, 1974.
	👻 1:25pm karlward: "Jolene" on a loop for an entire year on every radio station everywhere, what could go wrong?
	1:30pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Red by King Crimson was released in 1974, so there is that.
	1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: perfect time to play busy doing nothing, it was probably written at one in the afternoon
	1:31pm Irwin: Any Canterbury albums issued in '74 were certainly good, but not heard much on this side of the Atlantic. Probably some good jazz that year, too.
	1:35pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Unless you don't like King Crimson of course. King Crimson was at LEAST 6 bands maybe more.
	👻 1:35pm DjLorraine: Billboard chart for 1974 has some good ones sprinkled in..but yeah
	1:36pm Robm: @DJLorraine one of the few good songs was seasons in the sun
	👻 1:37pm chris in the redwoods: RIP Biggie <3
	1:38pm Roberto: KITTY!
	1:38pm Mike W: Very much here for PetTalk™
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: but if you're going by the billboard chart there's almost no good music after ~1985
	1:38pm DrumOne: cats and dawgs is good people
	1:40pm chresti: Our porch cat liked to roll around in a pile of my hair left in the yard after Franco gave me a haircut.
	👻 1:40pm rrg: What a great cover of a song I’ve never heard any cover of.
	1:40pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Coelacanth-from that perspective, probably. I am kinda allergic to mainstream music, always go to the college chart, if there is one these days.
	1:40pm Carmichael: Even the earlier Canterbury stuff (Wilde Flowers, Soft Machine, Caravan) were great in my opinion.
	1:40pm Irwin: rrg - concurrence!
	1:41pm chresti: I thought pack up your sorrows was going to be Folsom Prison Blues at the beginning.
	👻 1:42pm DjLorraine: Cats and dawgs - good people
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: without looking into it specifically i'd say 1974 was a great year for music. near the tail-end of the best decade in music.
	1:43pm Jim: He's a good dog by Fred Eaglesmith is a great song!
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: (1974 not a great year for fleetwood mac though)
	1:45pm Irwin: The BeeGees were "between" legacies in '74.
	1:45pm Irwin: Are Bee Gees two words?
	1:46pm Robm: I guess so irwin
	👻 1:47pm rrg: Yes, two words, though it should really be "Bees Gee" if it's supposed to be "Brothers Gibb".
	1:48pm chresti: You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet was 1974
	1:49pm Carmichael: B-b-b-b-b-b baby ....
	1:50pm Binky: So nice to hear you on the air, Irwin! I finally remembered today... Wunnerful. 'Bink
	1:51pm Irwin: BINKY!!!!!!!!
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: here come the warm jets was 1974 and, as Neil stated, red. 1974 was a great year for music.
	1:59pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Kimono My House, which everybody around here loves except me, came out in 74.
	2:00pm tom tom the pipers son: on the beach was 74
	2:00pm Irwin: I never got Sparks. Or Radiohead. Critical favorites that you're supposed to praise but not listen to much. IMHO.
	👻 2:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin and winners!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: ^ possibly my favorite Neil Young album
	2:01pm Irwin: I know, sacrilege.
	2:02pm Rich in Washington: I really like Sparks but can only handle them in little doses. Something about the twee-ness and I am somewhat falsetto-intolerant.
	2:03pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): When everybody went crazy for OK Computer, I listened and then told a (Radiohead loving friend) that it sounded to me like low-rent King Crimson. He was not pleased.
	2:03pm YETI BOB: I generally turn off the radio when either Radiohead or Sparks come on...
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: bridge of sighs, the residents' first album, eldorado (elo), fear (Cale)... starless & bible black...
	2:04pm Carmichael: I love Sparks, primarily to the weirdness of the keyboard player juxtaposed with the jump-around oddness of the singer.
	2:05pm Carmichael: Radiohead, not so much ...
	2:05pm YETI BOB: Robyn Hitchcock has a great song about 1974, something like "You're in funky denim wonderland, you and David Crosby and a bloke with one hand..."
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: radiohead is an extraordinary shining light in creativity; i turn the radio off for sparks, usually. (i give it a minute, because i have heard a couple songs i liked)
	2:06pm Carmichael: Groucho Marx lived next door to (or nearby) the Sherman family, and the dad would always get Allan to sing at parties.
	2:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Silverbird - Leo Sayer. Hmmm.
	👻 2:07pm βrian: We were a Dixie cup family. Dispensers near every faucet, as ordered.
	2:08pm tom tom the pipers son: never warmed to radiohead but i don't know if i'd lump them together with sparks. sparks are popular in england where the get irony. don't know if americans really irony
	2:08pm Irwin: Are you saying Americans suffer from an irony deficiency?
	2:08pm YETI BOB: C∅: i agree that radiohead are very creative. so are sparks. but the sounds they create just rub me the wrong way. De gustibus non est disputandum.
	2:08pm tom tom the pipers son: *get
	2:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Does irony mean annoying chirpy vocals? Asking for a friend.
	2:09pm suzyhotrod: Hi Irwin! I was just driving for work and the driver next to me at the light asked what radio station I had on. Woooo!! Clearly I’m blasting it pretty loud. Hooray for summer and Irwin and loud music! Suzy
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: irwin.... ha!
	2:10pm Irwin: Greeting, Suzy, in yer hotrod. Drive attentively!
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: Yeti i can appreciate those who can't stand Thom York's singing. i think they'd be better switching off lead vox occasionally.
	2:11pm tom tom the pipers son: annoying chirpy vocals=distancing
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: (like i can't stand the smiths because of Morressey's "singing", though i acknowledge the excellence of the band and his excelent lyrics)
	2:12pm f0fo (: Hi The reason why 1974 is considered the best year in music in all human history is because Boney M formed that year.
	2:13pm Carmichael: Just saw the drummer doc Count Me In. Interesting, as I know zilch about drumming. Kinda bounced around a little, but quite informative.
	2:13pm tom tom the pipers son: fofo.... ha!
	👻 2:13pm βrian: @coel: Hear, hear. BTW, I thought your avatar might be a toupee before I had a closer look.
	2:14pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: FUCK Mom is going back into the hospital. Sorry, had to say that here. I feel terrible. She spent the LAST 4th of July in the hospital and was looking forward to her last fireworks show. Mom has a record of going into the hospital on holiday weekends, like clockwork. The 4th is the WORST because a) any staff that CAN take off does and b) you have a huge influx of fireworks-related injuries which strains ANY emergency services, blood supplies, etc. On the Sunday after the 4th last year, I had to go to check Mom out at something like 7 AM, it sucked. I get to the hospital and there are something like 12 police cars outside, cops keeping an eye on a combo of DUIs and fireworks injuries. While waiting for a transport chair, I chatted with the beleagured woman at the front desk who had been there all night; was getting off at 8. The ENTIRE night had seen tons of people with lost hands, eyes, and a few deaths,,,in a small county hospital. At least this time Mom will be at an MSKCC affiliate hospital.
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: haha!
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: (βrian)
	2:15pm Roberto: Now I have to watch it.
	2:16pm suzyhotrod: No texting and driving. I’m a good civil servant in my govt issued vehicle. Your tax dollar at work!
	2:16pm Rich in Washington: Sorry, Threemoons! :(
	👻 2:17pm G: Irwin! Musics!
	👻 2:17pm βrian: Oddly, the playlist isn't updated to reflect that name change ...
	2:17pm Roberto: I thought you were going to say her new show title is "Your Body is a Wonderland."
	2:17pm Irwin: Roberto: Don't say you weren't warned. Cheap, tacky, tasteless.
	2:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): It's better than "The No Humans With Testicles Show."
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: i don't understand relating radiohead to sparks, or king crimson, or anyone else really. i make such comparisons constantly and i've never thought of any other music while listening to radiohead, except one track (Eno) and one album, the bends, that reminded me of the beatles with alternate vocals (except the last song that sounded like early pink floyd with alternate vox)
	2:19pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks, me too. She has had major, sudden mental impairment and she just got done with a battery of MRIs and CAT scans. Good news=cancer not in brain. Bad news=blood clots in lungs, advancement of cancer, and a host of minor infections. At least this time she is being admitted directly from her doctor's office and not a "Mom, you have 103 fever, it's 3 AM on a Sunday, I'm calling 911" crisis situation (which she is also prone to--her answer to everything, even now, is "I'll just take a Tylenol and go back to sleep.").
	2:19pm Carmichael: Suzy, you work for the gubmint too? I just pounded through my last fiscal year close yesterday.
	2:21pm tom tom the pipers son: three moons sorry for your moms ordeal
	2:21pm Irwin: Working for the govt? It's supposed to be the other way around.
	2:21pm joe mulligan: sorry to hear that Threemoons! if she's with MSKCC at least there are no other patients than those with cancer. and she's being monitored even if it's their B-team. hopefully there's also less patients at this time. what's she in for this time?
	2:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @coelacanth∅: When I first listened to OK Computer, it reminded me quite a bit of Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: Irwin, don't ask what the government can do to you, ask what you can do for the government
	2:25pm Laura L: Work made me so late to this show, I'll catch the first 2.5 hrs. by archive later! I'm going to give my boss a piece of my mind about this!
	2:26pm Irwin: LL, you should FIRE YOUR BOSS.
	2:26pm Irwin: LL - Brab is tuned in, on the boards earlier.
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: Woods, that's interesting. as usual with "mainstream" music, i came to radiohead halfassedly...hearing kid a first, then the next album, then the first 2, then finally ok computer ~4-5 years after it came out. (by the way a huge kc fan (first 7 albums ONLY)
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: (now i'll listen for it)
	2:30pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @coelacanth∅ For whatever reason, I'm much more of a fan of Kid A and Amnesiac. I agree that they're very creative but never really understood what was so revolutionary about OK Computer.
	👻 2:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sorry to hear that, Threemoons. Hoping for a peaceful weekend for you.
	2:32pm Lisa: This is like Goth Beth Sorrentino
	2:32pm Irwin: Agreed!
	2:33pm Laura L: Hello Brab, if you're still in the house! But Irwin, you know my boss will get really mad if I fire her, and I'll lose my job!
	2:34pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wow, that was some twisty guitar on the Bess of Bedlam
	2:36pm f0fo (: The best song of The Radio Heads is The Creep
	2:37pm joe mulligan: AMANDA! How's she doing?
	2:37pm Irwin: LL, your boss will not like hearing Amanda in the office. Better stuff in yr earbuds.
	2:37pm Kat in Chicago: AMANDA
	2:37pm Laura L: I'm turnin' it up!
	👻 2:37pm chris in the redwoods: ah, Amanda.
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: Woods those are my 2 favorites also. i think ok computer is a mostly pretty far from mainstream album with a radio hit (the worst song on it, which i skip over) that brought the masses to it. i do think there are extraordinary songs on it, even if the album as a whole is possibly overrated. (the last 4-5 songs especially) ...i think of pink floyd. a Great band that came out with an absolute shit album, the wall, that was their biggest commercial success. happens over and over, right? the kinks, rod stewart, bee gees, the clash...
	2:37pm mg: sigh. have not missed her.
	2:38pm coelacanth∅: this is the best Amanda yet!!
	2:38pm Irwin: Clicky stars for Amanda, pls.
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: Now we're talkin'!
	2:40pm Irwin: Shall I bring her back? Her catalog has been dormant for a while.
	👻 2:40pm chris in the redwoods: Amanda came pre-clicky-starred.
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: you need to ask?
	2:41pm Roberto: AMAAAAANNNDDAAAANNANANANNANA
	2:41pm Laura L: Jimi Hendrix says Yes!
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: Jimi'd be on the floor laughing at that!
	2:42pm P-90: Rick, Morty, Amanda, and Jimmy in the same set
	2:42pm caver_mike: I am so happy to hear Amanda! I have missed hearing her on WFMU. Irwin, if you are moved to bring her back, I support that action.
	👻 2:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: I identify as pro-Amanda.
	2:42pm P-90: *Jimi
	2:42pm Irwin: The votes have been counted, the motion passes!
	2:42pm joe mulligan: I think it's time for another amanda interview as well
	2:42pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sparks, no. Amanda, yes.
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: gus, on the other hand...
	2:43pm Roberto: There's probably an entire generation of WFMU listeners as yet unfamiliar with Amanda's oeuvre.
	👻 2:43pm chris in the redwoods: yeah, what the hell else is gonna put a smile on my face in today's world, Irwin?
	2:44pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks all....sigh.
	👻 2:45pm chris in the redwoods: hang in there, Threemoons. sending positive vibes.
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: okay. sometimes gus is good. especially the sort ones like that.
	2:47pm Rich in Washington: Oh dear.
	2:47pm swivs: Clearly the true origin of hip-hop.
	2:48pm zopa: Eat your heart out Donald Fagan.
	2:48pm BH: the New Frontier, back in the days when the main lesson of the New Deal was "use a two word title for your policy agenda"
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: Can't help think of Waits' Pasties and G-String.
	2:48pm Saltonstall: Doris rools!
	2:48pm chresti: swivs, right?
	2:49pm Mike W: Duplex Planeteers! Yayyyy
	2:49pm Binky: Hey Luara! Belatedly...
	👻 2:51pm chris in the redwoods: Doris' flow is better than mine.
	2:52pm tom tom the pipers son: liked the detectorists, it was a very gentle show
	2:52pm WR: Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Please also care for yourself. Hoping for the best possible outcomes for your mom.
	2:53pm chresti: ha chris!
	2:53pm Yes: Oo a theme song. Thanks Irwin
	2:54pm the lonely phillip: Wow that time flew by so fast. Great show. Great show
	2:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I listed to Radiohead a bit too much like I did Pink Floyd. So the party's over, time to move on. In 20 years I'll probably rediscover Radiohead. They are like King Crimson if King Crimson used sound effects instead of instruments to make their music to an extent.
	👻 2:55pm 12539: Thank you, Irwin.
	2:55pm morphe': Night Night-is over this way ... Thanks IC and all .. must cook ...
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: Nonsense. I have spent the best years of my life not listening to Best Coast because of their name. So good.
	👻 2:55pm 12539: And thank you again. Why not?
	2:55pm zopa: Thanks Gus.
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: Thank you, Irwin. Fine sounds.
	2:56pm Robm: @Threemoons hope your mom gets better
	👻 2:56pm chris in the redwoods: oh dang, is in that time already? thanks, Irwin.
	👻 2:56pm rrg: I'm sick as a doornail today (a bad cold that one of you rat bastards probably gave me) but it's been a great three hours anyway. Thanks, Irwin and Irwinites. And LL, listen in the archive, it's another good one.
	2:57pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Best bit from today for me: Allan Sherman did advertising.
	2:57pm _Ike_: Hi Irwin. I don’t get Sparks either.
	2:57pm Roger: Another excellent show, Irwin. Thank you.
	2:57pm Glistener MW: The Detectorists was wonderful! One of my favorite UK shows in years
	👻 2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Irwin. Enjoy Monday's Annual Fireworks Day holiday!
	2:58pm radioronan: Thanks Irwin! Be well Bodenhiems!
	2:59pm Laura L: RRG, hope you feel better soon! Will definitely catch the archive. Happy Independence Day weekend to all--thanks Ir!
	2:59pm chresti: Thanks Irwin!
	2:59pm tom tom the pipers son: thank you irwin
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Neil (@254) i burned out on radiohead also; but about once/year i still listen to 1 or 2 albums
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin!

	12:17pm steveo: i just looked up jazz in the dictionary and there's a picture of this song
	👻 12:18pm βrian: But the paint colors are outside the spectrum visible to humans, no doubt.
	12:18pm Hubig Pie: I looked up jazz and it said miscellaneous
	12:20pm steveo: fortunately my radio can translate that particular wavelength into sound vibrations
	12:23pm Andrew_in_WI: Does Andrew Bitd still live in Illinois, or has he gone Hollywood?

	12:26pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Irwin and Everyone. The meeting went well.
	12:27pm the lonely phillip: July 4th weekend. Not many fill-ins
	12:28pm BerkeleyGuy: The definition I know is "group improvisation on a melody"
	12:28pm the lonely phillip: Not a good morning for me. I had to walk to the bronx zoo to use their fee free atm to get my check
	12:31pm Kamp Climax: Mark E. Smith's private diary definition of jazz: "lines loose then tightens up-ah, blows Nabakov wordplay like-ah; colding then heating-ah; tremors shivers-ah; Webster 3rd, shove off-ah; I mark words-ah; I mark words-ah"
	12:32pm Carmichael: I grew up across the street from Joan Didion on Fair Oaks Blvd. She was about 10 years older. They had horses ...
	12:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hatchie must really like The Cure's jangly 80's guitar sound effect on that solo. Also, they sound a bit like Grass Record's (remember them??) Chimera.
	👻 12:34pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Loving the set! Thx Irwin!
	12:34pm tom tom the pipers son: @carmichael... wow thats neat, ever catch her chugging a coke?
	12:34pm Kamp Climax: Joan Didion's lines about describing her husband's death in the Year of Magical Thinking scares the shit out of me. It come so fast and at such odd times.
	12:35pm Carmichael: Rarely saw her, tom tom. Big ass house, large grounds, etc ...
	12:36pm tom tom the pipers son: i see...
	12:37pm the lonely phillip: Man it's getting hot here in the little Italy section of the bronx
	12:37pm ryansterlingvirtue: Loving todays show!
	12:37pm steveo: at least you're not in Hell's Kitchen
	12:40pm P-90: Irwin’s sitting just fine is the Friday Blender slot. I approve. It works for me.
	👻 12:41pm karlward: I can barely even hear the blender
	👻 12:41pm karlward: What gives?
	12:43pm steveo: the blender is still spinning, but the blades are undergoing renovation
	👻 12:43pm karlward: No, I figured it out steveo, we are all spinning at the exact same rate, that's why we don't hear it
	12:44pm steveo: that explains why i feel so dizzy
	👻 12:44pm karlward: This also explains why my coffee is all over the goddamn wall
	👻 12:44pm karlward: At least I hope it does
	12:45pm the lonely phillip: Still miss Bryce. But I soo love having IRWIN back
	👻 12:46pm DjLorraine: The lonely phillip literally checking in-to the zoo. Stay hydrated my friend
	12:47pm Carmichael: I suppose I should correctify my blender for today's event.
	12:47pm the lonely phillip: @DjLorraine yes. Yes. Plenty of cold bottled water. And my insulin
	12:48pm steveo: just looked down and i am wearing my blender shirt today.. no coffee stains either
	👻 12:48pm karlward: You have mastered the blender. Don't ever turn your back on the blender though.
	12:49pm the lonely phillip: Was a long walk to the walgreens on E Fordham road to pickup my insulin pens
	12:53pm the lonely phillip: Who broke the riteaid ATM at 592 East 183st
	👻 12:54pm DjLorraine: I wonder if Gus is working today or is he out exercising his freedoms
	12:55pm Irwin: Gus is in the house, and in his cups.
	12:58pm zopa: "exercising his freedoms"... a particularly apt turn of phrase given recent developments. Nice one DJLorraine!
	12:59pm Tom from Stirling: If you stop and pay attention, that Iraqi Blues tune was really good. But you have to pay attention.
	12:59pm RevWaldo: Hi Irwin! Missed Cruella De Ville! Did they ever put out a full album?
	1:02pm Tom from Stirling: Bill Bruford was a big admirer of Jeff Garland. Jeff was kind enough to step in for Tony Levin when he got sick on an AWB&H tour.
	1:04pm P-90: A “more expansive” Gus sounds like it might be a cause for concern ?
	1:07pm the lonely phillip: Wow! Is that man always in such a foul mood.
	1:07pm P-90: Everyone enjoying those “brain secretions”?
	1:07pm N'Lo: 😂🤣🤣😂🤣 😱😥😰😰asmr gives me the absolute willies!
	1:08pm Mark from Columbus Ohio: Thanks for introducing me to Fanclub Wallet. Bandcamped it. Bought it.
	1:08pm rx scabin: Misophonia hell = asmr
	👻 1:08pm chris in the redwoods: 'relaxturbation' hehe
	1:08pm the lonely phillip: Ewwwe. He just made me cringe
	1:08pm Harry Corvair: "Oral moisture." Exactly what we need - and what we do not need - to hear right now.
	1:08pm chresti: whispering is more tolerable than lip smacking
	1:09pm dday: Dave Hill twice in one day...Still needs to lose the bowl haircut & silver shoulder pads
	1:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This both brilliant and disgusting.
	1:09pm unpopularfred: ASMR makes me want to break things
	1:10pm the lonely phillip: That's not arousal. It's my skin crawling
	1:10pm WR: Good going Gus. Full on chuckles here.
	1:10pm Hubig Pie: I can only tolerate whispering if it's done really loud
	1:10pm morphe': Did someone misplace the Ken Nordine LPs ??? (sp?)
	1:12pm the lonely phillip: I havent been this grossed out 🤮 since I was 10
	1:12pm joe mulligan: party at Brian Wilson's house! he's giving the directions
	1:14pm zopa: That's the first time I've heard that Beach Boys song. Delightful!
	1:14pm RevWaldo: Ahhh Taster's Choice..(slllllluuuuurrrrpppp)
	1:14pm morphe': Hubig - you should a guy I grew up with in Bklyn 70s = Bossman - he whispered at Vol 11 and cupped his hand over his mouth simultaneously ... never got that CIA job ...
	1:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Vero sounds like they are from 1991.
	1:20pm hoeg: 1991 was great fun to be fair
	1:21pm hoeg: that painting is making me think of the girl who 'inspired' the song i Don't like Mondays
	1:21pm Irwin: 1991, pretty good year for music. Actually any year is good for music. Except, according to poll after poll, 1974.
	👻 1:25pm karlward: "Jolene" on a loop for an entire year on every radio station everywhere, what could go wrong?
	1:30pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Red by King Crimson was released in 1974, so there is that.
	1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: perfect time to play busy doing nothing, it was probably written at one in the afternoon
	1:31pm Irwin: Any Canterbury albums issued in '74 were certainly good, but not heard much on this side of the Atlantic. Probably some good jazz that year, too.
	1:35pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Unless you don't like King Crimson of course. King Crimson was at LEAST 6 bands maybe more.
	👻 1:35pm DjLorraine: Billboard chart for 1974 has some good ones sprinkled in..but yeah
	1:36pm Robm: @DJLorraine one of the few good songs was seasons in the sun
	👻 1:37pm chris in the redwoods: RIP Biggie <3
	1:38pm Roberto: KITTY!
	1:38pm Mike W: Very much here for PetTalk™
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: but if you're going by the billboard chart there's almost no good music after ~1985
	1:38pm DrumOne: cats and dawgs is good people
	1:40pm chresti: Our porch cat liked to roll around in a pile of my hair left in the yard after Franco gave me a haircut.
	👻 1:40pm rrg: What a great cover of a song I’ve never heard any cover of.
	1:40pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Coelacanth-from that perspective, probably. I am kinda allergic to mainstream music, always go to the college chart, if there is one these days.
	1:40pm Carmichael: Even the earlier Canterbury stuff (Wilde Flowers, Soft Machine, Caravan) were great in my opinion.
	1:40pm Irwin: rrg - concurrence!
	1:41pm chresti: I thought pack up your sorrows was going to be Folsom Prison Blues at the beginning.
	👻 1:42pm DjLorraine: Cats and dawgs - good people
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: without looking into it specifically i'd say 1974 was a great year for music. near the tail-end of the best decade in music.
	1:43pm Jim: He's a good dog by Fred Eaglesmith is a great song!
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: (1974 not a great year for fleetwood mac though)
	1:45pm Irwin: The BeeGees were "between" legacies in '74.
	1:45pm Irwin: Are Bee Gees two words?
	1:46pm Robm: I guess so irwin
	👻 1:47pm rrg: Yes, two words, though it should really be "Bees Gee" if it's supposed to be "Brothers Gibb".
	1:48pm chresti: You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet was 1974
	1:49pm Carmichael: B-b-b-b-b-b baby ....
	1:50pm Binky: So nice to hear you on the air, Irwin! I finally remembered today... Wunnerful. 'Bink
	1:51pm Irwin: BINKY!!!!!!!!
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: here come the warm jets was 1974 and, as Neil stated, red. 1974 was a great year for music.
	1:59pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Kimono My House, which everybody around here loves except me, came out in 74.
	2:00pm tom tom the pipers son: on the beach was 74
	2:00pm Irwin: I never got Sparks. Or Radiohead. Critical favorites that you're supposed to praise but not listen to much. IMHO.
	👻 2:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin and winners!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: ^ possibly my favorite Neil Young album
	2:01pm Irwin: I know, sacrilege.
	2:02pm Rich in Washington: I really like Sparks but can only handle them in little doses. Something about the twee-ness and I am somewhat falsetto-intolerant.
	2:03pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): When everybody went crazy for OK Computer, I listened and then told a (Radiohead loving friend) that it sounded to me like low-rent King Crimson. He was not pleased.
	2:03pm YETI BOB: I generally turn off the radio when either Radiohead or Sparks come on...
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: bridge of sighs, the residents' first album, eldorado (elo), fear (Cale)... starless & bible black...
	2:04pm Carmichael: I love Sparks, primarily to the weirdness of the keyboard player juxtaposed with the jump-around oddness of the singer.
	2:05pm Carmichael: Radiohead, not so much ...
	2:05pm YETI BOB: Robyn Hitchcock has a great song about 1974, something like "You're in funky denim wonderland, you and David Crosby and a bloke with one hand..."
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: radiohead is an extraordinary shining light in creativity; i turn the radio off for sparks, usually. (i give it a minute, because i have heard a couple songs i liked)
	2:06pm Carmichael: Groucho Marx lived next door to (or nearby) the Sherman family, and the dad would always get Allan to sing at parties.
	2:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Silverbird - Leo Sayer. Hmmm.
	👻 2:07pm βrian: We were a Dixie cup family. Dispensers near every faucet, as ordered.
	2:08pm tom tom the pipers son: never warmed to radiohead but i don't know if i'd lump them together with sparks. sparks are popular in england where the get irony. don't know if americans really irony
	2:08pm Irwin: Are you saying Americans suffer from an irony deficiency?
	2:08pm YETI BOB: C∅: i agree that radiohead are very creative. so are sparks. but the sounds they create just rub me the wrong way. De gustibus non est disputandum.
	2:08pm tom tom the pipers son: *get
	2:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Does irony mean annoying chirpy vocals? Asking for a friend.
	2:09pm suzyhotrod: Hi Irwin! I was just driving for work and the driver next to me at the light asked what radio station I had on. Woooo!! Clearly I’m blasting it pretty loud. Hooray for summer and Irwin and loud music! Suzy
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: irwin.... ha!
	2:10pm Irwin: Greeting, Suzy, in yer hotrod. Drive attentively!
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: Yeti i can appreciate those who can't stand Thom York's singing. i think they'd be better switching off lead vox occasionally.
	2:11pm tom tom the pipers son: annoying chirpy vocals=distancing
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: (like i can't stand the smiths because of Morressey's "singing", though i acknowledge the excellence of the band and his excelent lyrics)
	2:12pm f0fo (: Hi The reason why 1974 is considered the best year in music in all human history is because Boney M formed that year.
	2:13pm Carmichael: Just saw the drummer doc Count Me In. Interesting, as I know zilch about drumming. Kinda bounced around a little, but quite informative.
	2:13pm tom tom the pipers son: fofo.... ha!
	👻 2:13pm βrian: @coel: Hear, hear. BTW, I thought your avatar might be a toupee before I had a closer look.
	2:14pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: FUCK Mom is going back into the hospital. Sorry, had to say that here. I feel terrible. She spent the LAST 4th of July in the hospital and was looking forward to her last fireworks show. Mom has a record of going into the hospital on holiday weekends, like clockwork. The 4th is the WORST because a) any staff that CAN take off does and b) you have a huge influx of fireworks-related injuries which strains ANY emergency services, blood supplies, etc. On the Sunday after the 4th last year, I had to go to check Mom out at something like 7 AM, it sucked. I get to the hospital and there are something like 12 police cars outside, cops keeping an eye on a combo of DUIs and fireworks injuries. While waiting for a transport chair, I chatted with the beleagured woman at the front desk who had been there all night; was getting off at 8. The ENTIRE night had seen tons of people with lost hands, eyes, and a few deaths,,,in a small county hospital. At least this time Mom will be at an MSKCC affiliate hospital.
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: haha!
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: (βrian)
	2:15pm Roberto: Now I have to watch it.
	2:16pm suzyhotrod: No texting and driving. I’m a good civil servant in my govt issued vehicle. Your tax dollar at work!
	2:16pm Rich in Washington: Sorry, Threemoons! :(
	👻 2:17pm G: Irwin! Musics!
	👻 2:17pm βrian: Oddly, the playlist isn't updated to reflect that name change ...
	2:17pm Roberto: I thought you were going to say her new show title is "Your Body is a Wonderland."
	2:17pm Irwin: Roberto: Don't say you weren't warned. Cheap, tacky, tasteless.
	2:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): It's better than "The No Humans With Testicles Show."
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: i don't understand relating radiohead to sparks, or king crimson, or anyone else really. i make such comparisons constantly and i've never thought of any other music while listening to radiohead, except one track (Eno) and one album, the bends, that reminded me of the beatles with alternate vocals (except the last song that sounded like early pink floyd with alternate vox)
	2:19pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks, me too. She has had major, sudden mental impairment and she just got done with a battery of MRIs and CAT scans. Good news=cancer not in brain. Bad news=blood clots in lungs, advancement of cancer, and a host of minor infections. At least this time she is being admitted directly from her doctor's office and not a "Mom, you have 103 fever, it's 3 AM on a Sunday, I'm calling 911" crisis situation (which she is also prone to--her answer to everything, even now, is "I'll just take a Tylenol and go back to sleep.").
	2:19pm Carmichael: Suzy, you work for the gubmint too? I just pounded through my last fiscal year close yesterday.
	2:21pm tom tom the pipers son: three moons sorry for your moms ordeal
	2:21pm Irwin: Working for the govt? It's supposed to be the other way around.
	2:21pm joe mulligan: sorry to hear that Threemoons! if she's with MSKCC at least there are no other patients than those with cancer. and she's being monitored even if it's their B-team. hopefully there's also less patients at this time. what's she in for this time?
	2:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @coelacanth∅: When I first listened to OK Computer, it reminded me quite a bit of Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: Irwin, don't ask what the government can do to you, ask what you can do for the government
	2:25pm Laura L: Work made me so late to this show, I'll catch the first 2.5 hrs. by archive later! I'm going to give my boss a piece of my mind about this!
	2:26pm Irwin: LL, you should FIRE YOUR BOSS.
	2:26pm Irwin: LL - Brab is tuned in, on the boards earlier.
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: Woods, that's interesting. as usual with "mainstream" music, i came to radiohead halfassedly...hearing kid a first, then the next album, then the first 2, then finally ok computer ~4-5 years after it came out. (by the way a huge kc fan (first 7 albums ONLY)
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: (now i'll listen for it)
	2:30pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @coelacanth∅ For whatever reason, I'm much more of a fan of Kid A and Amnesiac. I agree that they're very creative but never really understood what was so revolutionary about OK Computer.
	👻 2:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sorry to hear that, Threemoons. Hoping for a peaceful weekend for you.
	2:32pm Lisa: This is like Goth Beth Sorrentino
	2:32pm Irwin: Agreed!
	2:33pm Laura L: Hello Brab, if you're still in the house! But Irwin, you know my boss will get really mad if I fire her, and I'll lose my job!
	2:34pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wow, that was some twisty guitar on the Bess of Bedlam
	2:36pm f0fo (: The best song of The Radio Heads is The Creep
	2:37pm joe mulligan: AMANDA! How's she doing?
	2:37pm Irwin: LL, your boss will not like hearing Amanda in the office. Better stuff in yr earbuds.
	2:37pm Kat in Chicago: AMANDA
	2:37pm Laura L: I'm turnin' it up!
	👻 2:37pm chris in the redwoods: ah, Amanda.
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: Woods those are my 2 favorites also. i think ok computer is a mostly pretty far from mainstream album with a radio hit (the worst song on it, which i skip over) that brought the masses to it. i do think there are extraordinary songs on it, even if the album as a whole is possibly overrated. (the last 4-5 songs especially) ...i think of pink floyd. a Great band that came out with an absolute shit album, the wall, that was their biggest commercial success. happens over and over, right? the kinks, rod stewart, bee gees, the clash...
	2:37pm mg: sigh. have not missed her.
	2:38pm coelacanth∅: this is the best Amanda yet!!
	2:38pm Irwin: Clicky stars for Amanda, pls.
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: Now we're talkin'!
	2:40pm Irwin: Shall I bring her back? Her catalog has been dormant for a while.
	👻 2:40pm chris in the redwoods: Amanda came pre-clicky-starred.
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: you need to ask?
	2:41pm Roberto: AMAAAAANNNDDAAAANNANANANNANA
	2:41pm Laura L: Jimi Hendrix says Yes!
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: Jimi'd be on the floor laughing at that!
	2:42pm P-90: Rick, Morty, Amanda, and Jimmy in the same set
	2:42pm caver_mike: I am so happy to hear Amanda! I have missed hearing her on WFMU. Irwin, if you are moved to bring her back, I support that action.
	👻 2:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: I identify as pro-Amanda.
	2:42pm P-90: *Jimi
	2:42pm Irwin: The votes have been counted, the motion passes!
	2:42pm joe mulligan: I think it's time for another amanda interview as well
	2:42pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sparks, no. Amanda, yes.
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: gus, on the other hand...
	2:43pm Roberto: There's probably an entire generation of WFMU listeners as yet unfamiliar with Amanda's oeuvre.
	👻 2:43pm chris in the redwoods: yeah, what the hell else is gonna put a smile on my face in today's world, Irwin?
	2:44pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks all....sigh.
	👻 2:45pm chris in the redwoods: hang in there, Threemoons. sending positive vibes.
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: okay. sometimes gus is good. especially the sort ones like that.
	2:47pm Rich in Washington: Oh dear.
	2:47pm swivs: Clearly the true origin of hip-hop.
	2:48pm zopa: Eat your heart out Donald Fagan.
	2:48pm BH: the New Frontier, back in the days when the main lesson of the New Deal was "use a two word title for your policy agenda"
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: Can't help think of Waits' Pasties and G-String.
	2:48pm Saltonstall: Doris rools!
	2:48pm chresti: swivs, right?
	2:49pm Mike W: Duplex Planeteers! Yayyyy
	2:49pm Binky: Hey Luara! Belatedly...
	👻 2:51pm chris in the redwoods: Doris' flow is better than mine.
	2:52pm tom tom the pipers son: liked the detectorists, it was a very gentle show
	2:52pm WR: Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Please also care for yourself. Hoping for the best possible outcomes for your mom.
	2:53pm chresti: ha chris!
	2:53pm Yes: Oo a theme song. Thanks Irwin
	2:54pm the lonely phillip: Wow that time flew by so fast. Great show. Great show
	2:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I listed to Radiohead a bit too much like I did Pink Floyd. So the party's over, time to move on. In 20 years I'll probably rediscover Radiohead. They are like King Crimson if King Crimson used sound effects instead of instruments to make their music to an extent.
	👻 2:55pm 12539: Thank you, Irwin.
	2:55pm morphe': Night Night-is over this way ... Thanks IC and all .. must cook ...
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: Nonsense. I have spent the best years of my life not listening to Best Coast because of their name. So good.
	👻 2:55pm 12539: And thank you again. Why not?
	2:55pm zopa: Thanks Gus.
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: Thank you, Irwin. Fine sounds.
	2:56pm Robm: @Threemoons hope your mom gets better
	👻 2:56pm chris in the redwoods: oh dang, is in that time already? thanks, Irwin.
	👻 2:56pm rrg: I'm sick as a doornail today (a bad cold that one of you rat bastards probably gave me) but it's been a great three hours anyway. Thanks, Irwin and Irwinites. And LL, listen in the archive, it's another good one.
	2:57pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Best bit from today for me: Allan Sherman did advertising.
	2:57pm _Ike_: Hi Irwin. I don’t get Sparks either.
	2:57pm Roger: Another excellent show, Irwin. Thank you.
	2:57pm Glistener MW: The Detectorists was wonderful! One of my favorite UK shows in years
	👻 2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Irwin. Enjoy Monday's Annual Fireworks Day holiday!
	2:58pm radioronan: Thanks Irwin! Be well Bodenhiems!
