	3:01pm Phillippe: howdy!
	3:01pm Various Julius: Hi! I'm here for the Express Written Consent
	3:01pm Handy Haversack: Greetings, Irwin and all! Irwin, variations on a Penicillin and a Manhattan were raised in cheers to Brother Cleve last week after the show. The bartenders knew who he was and were saddened to hear of his passing.
	3:02pm bradford: NINE!
	3:02pm Phillip: Steamed food anyone
	3:02pm G: Finally back home in New Orleans today after 12 days in western Colorado, eastern Utah, and southern Wyoming. Over 2000 miles of driving in 10 days on the ground. Still recovering.
	3:02pm Laura L: Irwin, please don't go to jail for copying this Wimpbusters ad!

	3:04pm Phillip: Soo glad your back in your old timeslot.
	3:05pm Phillippe: Whatever you're paying ProComm, I'll do it for half.
	3:05pm ?: It’s very important to establish your brand and assert adequate market penetration.
	3:06pm Phillip: Ken wasnt on this morning. So no dinner at Andy's tonight?
	3:06pm Phillippe: (just got a Cease and Desist email from ProComm -- that was fast)
	3:07pm Phillippe: Ken infringed a copyright somewhere, Phillip. We'll see him in 2024 if he gets time off for good behavior (doubtful)
	3:08pm Phillip: @Phillippe Wow🤣 poor guy.
	3:09pm ?: I used to see A Bird regularly, like at least 6 times... but not since he's gone Hollywood
	3:09pm Stuart Troutman: Irwin's great opener there reminds me of that well-known track assembled by Negativland on 'Escape from Noise'.
	3:09pm The Butterman: Oh boo hoo, no Andy! How in the world will I ever cope. Uggggg, blech! That guy!
	3:12pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi all!! Hi Butterman! It’s Corn!
	3:12pm steveo: I'm a wimp, and now you've busted me, a loyal subscriber. Good jazz, though.
	3:14pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Irwin, Handy Bagpipe Jazz, and all hump day humps.
	3:14pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm trying to get more people to listed to FMU....is that distribution ?
	3:15pm Tommy in Neversink: listen
	3:15pm Irwin: Hello, Jacques. You attending my musical history presentation in Hoboken this weekend?
	3:17pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Jack!
	3:18pm The Butterman: Hey PaulRobeson, hope all is well in the box truck/hippy van.
	3:19pm Hoboken Jack: Alas, Irwin, while you are trusting insects, I will be deep in the heart of FRANTIC CITY.
	3:21pm Matt from Springfield: Eat tons of junk food! And sugary carb-heavy junk music, this show will do. HI IRWIN! Wednesdays are made for you!
	3:21pm PaulRobeson1922: @The Butterman: All is well. Beatin’ it on down the line Hope you r doing ok!
	3:21pm brainiac: Hi Irwin, I am receiving your transmission. Hello fellow listeners everywhere
	3:22pm Irwin: Jack, why are your excuses always so LAME?
	3:23pm Ryansterlingvirtue: really digging this song.
	3:23pm Matt from Springfield: Hello brainiac, sound and comment transmissions received here.
	👻 3:23pm rrg: Oooh, nice one, Irwin.
	3:24pm Matt from Springfield: The Future is Here But It Feels Kinda Like the Past...the more things future, the more things past...
	3:26pm The Butterman: How many beats, PaulRobeson? 13 seemed to be frequent amount.
	3:26pm Handy Haversack: brainiac, I am doing my part to make up for the loss of Carmicahel's consumption. I hope you are doing the same!
	👻 3:26pm DjLorraine: !.. Gus
	3:26pm Ike: I don't recall you using your middle name in previous years. Is that new? That seems new. Or is my memory just hot steaming sidewalk garbage? It could be that too.
	3:26pm Matt from Springfield: Irwin D. Chusid, Esq. Has a good ring as a professional.
	3:27pm brainiac: I failed to drink alcohol last night, Handy. I'll try not to let the team down again tonight, but the pressure, oh the pressure.
	3:27pm PaulRobeson1922: @The Butterman: you know, I’ve never thought to count em’ oh jeez the line the beat the line the beat the line the
	3:28pm Devin B.: Genre-surfing tokenist?
	3:28pm steveo: Hanging chads
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reptilian Angstmonger ! ...isn't he the new leader of Gwar ??...
	3:28pm Handy Haversack: You can do this, brainiac. This is what we trained for.
	3:28pm Matt from Springfield: "Obnoxious Noodnik" is an appropriate NYC area moniker.
	3:29pm brainiac: Don't let him kid you, Matt. The 'D' stands for (the) DEAN.
	3:29pm Bernardo: None of the above. Gus is a sexy american side of man meat with the voice of god himself.
	3:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Handy: Great choices of drinks, above. I love whisk(e)y myself. Is your Penicillin with Scotch or Canadian?
	3:30pm chi ming in: Or his just a side of meat?
	3:31pm Matt from Springfield: Prof. Chusid, Dean of Genre-Surfing.
	3:31pm Handy Haversack: Matt from Springfield: we were actually at a bar in the neighborhood that serves only American beers and liquors, so it was peated American whiskey in the Penicillin.
	3:31pm Matt from Springfield: ELO "Telephone Line"!
	3:32pm chi ming in: Bespoke thesaurus grifter
	3:32pm PaulRobeson1922: @The Butterman @3:26: it’s 13.
	3:33pm brainiac: Tell Gus I said, "Up your nose with a rubber hose."
	3:33pm Matt from Springfield: Interessant, Handy. American non-Bourbon whiskies are becoming more common, though I have yet to try one that Wowed me. Colorado "Tin Cup" comes pretty close though.
	3:33pm PaulRobeson1922: A good encyclopedia set is something to be treasured
	👻 3:34pm rrg: Hi, Matt! I haven't seen your name in a while. But I don't get out much.
	3:35pm Steve S: No you don't.
	3:35pm Matt from Springfield: Hi rrg! Likewise, haven't seen your name in a while. But I'm getting (in) more on FMU. It helps that radiorethink finally allows for listening in my work building.
	3:36pm brainiac: Liked the Drive-By reference to Cynthia Plaster Caster.
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if they leaned into this more - it would just seem mean-spirited...
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..which of course it is...
	3:38pm Handy Haversack: Matt: I picked up a bourbon from Hudson Whiskey in the Hudson Valley a couple-three weeks back. Finished in bouron casks that had gone to Scotland to age peated scotch and then come home again. Pretty good!
	3:39pm Irwin: I love this band. Their songs are so wonderfully stupid.
	3:40pm ?: Is this a Jon Spencer cover?
	3:40pm McGroovey: I think casks made from recycled canoe cedar would make for a particularly pleasing northeast American flavor.
	3:41pm mb: Irwin
	3:42pm Matt from Springfield: @Handy: Sounds great! A reverse of the typical Bourbon-aged Scotch cask. Innis & Gunn is a major beer of Edinburgh, just tried their Scotch-barreled beer the other day. A bit oaky and toffee finish but a great taste!
	3:42pm McGroovey: It turns out they my microwave has a bad HV capacitor. $10-20 part (used-new on eBay). Cheaper than a while new microwave appliance.
	3:42pm McGroovey: *whole
	3:42pm brainiac: I might have guessed these morons were ... huh? Swedish?
	👻 3:43pm DjLorraine: Handy i saw a commercial of a portable canoe. Any thoughts spring to mind?
	3:44pm TimSF: Handy: I saw Bourbon ,"finished",and 3 weeks...I thought you emptied the 750 already.
	3:44pm Matt from Springfield: @McGroovey: I love cedar, but it's intense. Maybe a partially cedar barrel, 3/4 oak and a bit of clove finish to taste.
	3:45pm love2laf: Innis & Gunn can be bought here, and it is a decent beer. One year though, a bar had it on tap, while I was looking after my Dad. I drank that every damned time I could get there, it was a completely different beer on tap.
	3:46pm Handy Haversack: Oh, yeah, I've had that, Matt! Small doses, but it's good. DjLorraine, very much depends on where you want to use it! A friend has the Ally-brand rubber canoe, which is pretty cool once you get the assembly figured out. I have also seen some really light paper ones. But I wouldn't want to be on the East River in them! Calm waters, though? A light, portable boat would be a treat!
	3:46pm brainiac: Saw Deerhoof play free in a band shell in Chicago several years back. I believe the drummer was on acid. He wandered the stage a bit between songs.
	3:47pm steveo: Pure fire, Irwin, this set
	3:47pm Irwin: Matt: cedar planks are the chef's kiss for grilled salmon!
	👻 3:47pm xtrakrispy: They always serve Innis & Gunn at Whisky Live and other whiskey tasting events. After an hour of tasting whisky, that damned beer table is a joy to come across!
	3:49pm ryansterlingvirtue: Just found out grace is opening for lykke li in NYC. So stoked
	3:49pm Matt from Springfield: @love2laf: A nice surprise for you! A "surprise tap" can be unreliable, but occasional you'll hit real paydirt with it. @xtrakrispy: That would be a great complement!
	3:50pm Matt from Springfield: Agree, Irwin! I like cedar plank salmon - though it is a strong scent, just a little, and it goes against the fish scent.
	3:51pm Dean: I'm gonna exercise on my last day. That's why it'll be my last day.
	3:51pm love2laf: This set is pure fire. Thank you Irwin, it's perfect.
	3:54pm ryansterlingvirtue: Also think this set is perfect perfect perfect
	3:55pm Matt from Springfield: Especially with this Martin Courtney! "Baroque Americana" or something like!
	3:55pm egould: Gah! I was in a teleconference and missed Gus Bodenheim. I hope he’s got more stuff.
	3:56pm Irwin: Gus will deliver an encore later in the program.
	3:57pm KWilde: Outstanding show so far
	3:57pm Matt from Springfield: I've returned to Irwin's show after years being away - it seems Gus Bodenheim is his latest star, the "Tullis & Clark" or "Joe Frank" place of years past.
	3:58pm BH: good afternoon, I just got back from getting a filing at the dentist office and my team just fired their President of Baseball Operations while I was taking care of that so play some music for people who have had the left side of their mouths numbed up
	3:58pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooo! Ancient history 7SD Encore!
	👻 3:58pm βrian: That would be a 27-year delay, then?
	3:59pm mb: I keep forgetting to tell my therapist about Joe Frank
	4:00pm Handy Haversack: Trusting the process is over, BH?
	4:00pm ryansterlingvirtue: I love VB too. I saw them live. Super band
	4:00pm Chris Hiatt: I missed the Viagra Boys song in the set. Don't know them, is there an album I should start off with?
	4:01pm BH: Handy, i'm sure there'll be a new process to trust soon enough
	4:01pm ryansterlingvirtue: I got alvvays tix too
	4:01pm Matt from Springfield: The Viagra Boys are NOT for everyone. But FMU is prob the best place to find those who would dig them! (Myself included!)
	4:02pm TimSF: I'd rather listen to Viagra Boys than Proud Boys
	4:02pm Dean: First heard VB at my local coffee shop. Dug 'em.
	4:02pm Irwin: I decided last night that Cheekface might the most annoying artist around. Not saying he's bad or untalented -- but super-annoying.
	👻 4:02pm βrian: And the Niagra Girls?
	4:03pm Irwin: Surprised they'd play VB in a coffee shop. Good for that coffee shop.
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: You'll always have 2015.
	4:04pm brainiac: I wish my team would fire their owners (The Ricketts family)
	4:04pm luka: Cheekface. woof.
	4:05pm Dean: It is a special coffee shop, indeed. One morning it's Morton Feldman, another Cumbia, industrial noise, and then VB.
	4:07pm Irwin: Where is this place? What city, or town?
	4:07pm brainiac: It was 2016 for the Cubs, Handy, and yes I will always have that.
	4:09pm brainiac: That at 3.52 will get me a cuppa coffee.
	4:09pm brainiac: Oh, never mind
	4:10pm Dean: Berkeley, near the corner of Gilman and Santa Fe, Coffee Conscious. A gem.
	4:11pm Hubig Pie: The slaughter house kings don't know how to run a baseball team either
	4:12pm Dean: At least half the time I visit (several times a week) I'm wearing a WFMU t-shirt. One of the regulars asked me if I'm from NJ. Nope. Never left California.
	4:12pm Matt from Springfield: That IS a Berkeley, Left Coast coffee shop! I wouldn't expect a coffee shop with near that eclecticism anywhere near DC (or even the whole Mid Atlantic region).
	4:13pm McGroovey: King Ropes!
	4:13pm Handy Haversack: I'm planning on pregaming a little at Jimmy's Corner in Manhattan before BÖC. Haven't been there since before the pandemic. Glad it reopened.
	4:14pm Dean: Speaking of BÖC, The Dictators are on the road again, playing in Canada. Drummer is Albert Bouchard. https://www.thedictators.com/post/the-dictators-announce-3-upcoming-shows-in-canada
	4:14pm Matt from Springfield: BÖC live! With Buck Dharma and orig members?
	4:14pm Destroit: King Ropes indeed!
	4:14pm 605: Sounds like froggy fresh
	4:15pm brainiac: Will people yell "more cowbell" between songs, and if so, will they be booed?
	4:15pm Destroit: Love everything ive ever heard from King Ropes
	4:15pm Dean: They'll be mooed.
	4:16pm Irwin: Like KR, vocalist on that song reminds me a bit of Dean Wareham, but that's not a bad thing.
	👻 4:18pm DjLorraine: Any audio clips involving a Hilti drill and blue tapcons?
	4:18pm McGroovey: When King Ropes were still in NYC, they were known as Home For Wayward Drummers, in case that rings actives l anyone's bell.
	4:20pm steveo: OMG why do I love this
	👻 4:21pm rrg: This isn't a mashup, is it?
	4:21pm Irwin: Nope.
	4:22pm Matt from Springfield: Doesn't sound good on paper...but then again paper doesn't sound good, does it! ;) Like the 70s with later 70s with 90s 70s revival and 10s 80s/90s 70s vaporwave revival. All coming together at once.
	👻 4:22pm rrg: Yes, I see, it's a new single. Wow.
	4:23pm Laura L: Is this the song that Elton John did to help Britney Spears? heard something about that but didn't hear it.
	👻 4:23pm rrg: And now Prof. Elemental. Jolly good.
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: Matt: Playing the first album in its entirety. first of three nights!
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: @Handy: Enjoy! Sounds amazing. Prof. Elemental, a long time Irwin fave!
	4:24pm Barno in Akron: Professor Elemental, nice!
	4:25pm Dean: It's like the EJ/Dua Lipa part-swapping track from last year.
	4:26pm Matt from Springfield: @Dean: Ah, good term. Not a mash up, but a "part swap". Describes the feel of that arrangement.
	4:27pm brainiac: Have I showed you my collection of kitschy mid century shot glasses?
	4:29pm roadsider: @Irwin! My god it's been far too long since I listened to your show! Over 20 years in fact! I used to listen to The Incorrect Music Hour and then kind of drifted away. I can't believe what I've been missing. Just wanted to say hello. Please don't tell me that next week is your last show. That happens to me a lot. This is easily the best show on WFMU. Thank you. And thank you for the tips about Suddenly Tammy!
	👻 4:30pm rrg: I'm pretty sure you've played Britney before.

	👻 4:31pm rrg: But I'm not going to look it up. Someone else can do that.
	4:31pm ?: Are we sure Britney is telling the truth? She probably just wants attention
	4:32pm Ike: Wet Leg is definitely annoying, yet I like them anyway. I don't know why. I expect to get completely sick of them very very soon. But not yet!
	4:32pm Matt from Springfield: Welcome back, roadsider! It's also my first time back in a while, though not quite that long! Actually, this is his first week back on Wednesdays after a couple schedule changes, so he's back until next spring at least. The Incorrect Music Hour was before my time, but its archives are golden!
	4:32pm Laura L: That's right! You gonna play "Ringworm"?
	4:32pm Matt from Springfield: Dum Dum George.
	4:33pm Carmichael: I understand someone was talking about me. Looking at YOU, Handy.
	4:34pm josh in the uk: Is that you, Daniel Johnston?
	👻 4:34pm karlward: Today I learned that autotune was invented in the sixties
	4:35pm brainiac: Yo, Carmichael: it's not easy picking up the slack now that you're OTW
	4:35pm The Oscar: I first heard these tracks on a budget line Van Morrison box set my dad bought back in the early '00s, where each disc ended with maybe a dozen Contractual Obligation tracks with absolutely no context. It felt like drifting into an alternate universe.
	4:36pm Carmichael: I have faith in you, brainiac. Also, be sure to tip genrously.
	4:36pm castor: Wanna Danish?
	4:36pm McGroovey: Oh, jeez, this Van Morrison is AOK.
	4:36pm Hubig Pie: No, it's only impetigo
	4:36pm brainiac: OT, did you get my email, Carm?
	4:36pm egould: It’s okay to not like some artists/songs. Even artists that everybody says you simply must like. Me: Tupac, Radiohead, Van Morrison, Jim Morrison, ELO, Queen, Sublime. Don’t like ‘em. There are more, too.
	4:37pm Matt from Springfield: @The Oscar: Sounds like an off-label non-quite-legit pressing!
	4:37pm Ike: These are the only Van Morrison songs that I like.
	4:37pm ?: a giant baby and a lousy tipper
	👻 4:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Irwin and fellow law-abiding citizens.
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's a hard choice between this & AstralWeeks I must admit. The groundbreaking Garagey Maximum R&B of Them aside...
	4:38pm Asparagus: Possibly the greatest music I’ve ever heard
	4:38pm Matt from Springfield: @Ike: I recall you liking "Madame George" sometime before, but also noting the exception to your rule.
	4:39pm love2laf: Oh my, I'm dying, I thought this was a spoof, and I was this many years old when I found out about this Van Morrison album. Clearly I'm not a fan, but that's a worthwhile piece of music history.
	4:39pm Matt from Springfield: Hi Ken HP! Yeah, law and stuff...no need to look at this Van Morrison box set I'm making. For...a school project...
	4:39pm The Oscar: @Matt That it most certainly was-- one of those cheapo $15 3-CD sets with no liner notes and a grainy album cover. Ah, the CD days!
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - the Bang RCOSs are a classic gesture to be sure...
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: Just doing my part here, Carmichael! We're all in this together!
	4:40pm Jessie: I wonder what Lester Bangs would have thought of this Van Morrison release.
	4:40pm Carmichael: @brainiac, hmmm, no I didn't. Can you resend?
	4:40pm Irwin: I wonder what rating the "Dean of Rock Critics" would have assigned it?
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah ...but how many 'I hate Van Morrison' people have just heard 'Brown Eyed Girl' 1,000 times too many & don't even know 'Astral Weeks'. Let alone the nonsense he's uttering these days...
	4:42pm Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: Quite a stretch and variety of Van sounds from '65 to '69: Them/Bang/TB Sheets/(VMCO!)/Astral Weeks/Caledonia soul, which he stuck with for the next several years.
	4:42pm brainiac: @Carm: Sure, but I sent it to your listener_@hotmail addy. Is that one no-goodsky?
	4:43pm McGroovey: I love ELO. I like seeing Radiohead live, for some reason, but I'm interferent to their records. Seventies Queen is key teenage music for me (and my teenage daughter is a Queen fan now). The others in egould's list, I'm basically indifferent to. I know I've heard Sublime and Tupac that I dislike, but not enough to put them on my rant-list -- not enough to remember what they are. Like, I hate that song Closing Time, and I hate it so much that I've been known to spend 30 minutes describing why I hate it so much.
	4:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Matt: I guess maybe one or two notable things happened in the culture in those years ...but I was barely a toddler & I haven't heard...
	4:44pm McGroovey: interferent = indifferent (Autocorrected)
	4:44pm Carmichael: Yes, brainiac, fire away.
	4:44pm Carmichael: Van the Man: longreads.com...
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Imho Queen jumped the shark with 'News Of The World' when they sold out to the USA market & became massive. Like the man said about relating to popular tastes...
	4:46pm Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: It would be painstaking to compile and calibrate, but maybe I could develop a "Beatle unit" (BTLU) to describe rapid pop culture changes. Each year in the 60s represents 1 BTLU, based on the band's logarithmic changes. Use this BTLU metric to calculate pop culture evolution for any given year...
	4:46pm Jessie: Lester letting us know what Astral Weeks meant.-"It's no Eastern mystic or psychedelic vision of the emerald beyond, nor is it some Baudelairean perception of the beauty of sleaze and grotesquerie. Maybe what it boiled down to is one moment's knowledge of the miracle of life, with its inevitable concomitant, a vertiginous glimpse of the capacity to be hurt, and the capacity to inflict that hurt".
	4:46pm Matt from Springfield: I'll enlist the help of MIT and CalTech (along w/ NASA's JPL) to properly develop such a metric..
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm. There is the simple matter of hating anything one has been excessively force-fed. But this begs the question if there are certain things that lend themselves to the Lowest Common Denominator is such a commercially distributed manner ...which obviously there usually is.
	4:49pm Hubig Pie: I loved Astral Weeks so much , I went to see Van Morrison when he played the Nola jazzfest in the mid-90's. He was gawd-awful and I left
	4:50pm Matt from Springfield: @Hubig Pie: Van is considered an unreliable live performer - and with so many diff past styles even his music is quite divergent. He has done Astral Weeks live concerts before, but even then you might catch him on an "off night".
	4:50pm steveo: The Queen is dead
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...often comparing Musical consumption to Food consumption. Useful I find. Hubig - no argument. Van's personal temperament has always been noted as well ...tho I don't ask Artists to be otherwise. Yet is the ticket is bought & the check's been cashed...
	4:52pm Jessie: Maybe the endless bottles of Romilar provided clarity into Astral Weeks.
	4:52pm Hubig Pie: @Matt, he did some sort of jazz improv in front of a festival crowd. I don't think anyone was enjoying it.
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *iF the ticket's bought...
	4:53pm Matt from Springfield: Driving from North VA to Southwest VA, through the Appalachians in the years before sat radio, when I lost the signal from the 2 terrestrial stations I could stand (in Roanoke and DC), I would keep CDs like Astral Weeks and Nick Drake's Bryter Layter in my front seat, and stick them in for the middle part of my journey. There are many reasons people consider those among the best of all time.
	4:53pm Ike: @MfS@4:38, then you have a much better memory than I do! Impressive!
	4:53pm steveo: I buried Paul
	4:54pm Carmichael: I thought he was saying, "I'm very bored."
	4:54pm Matt from Springfield: @Ike: I'm a natural "Archivist" round here :) Plus, it involved an Astral Weeks song, making the recall more memorable.
	4:55pm steveo: Cranberry sauce
	4:55pm PaulRobeson1922: I don’t get art
	👻 4:56pm Jennica: Hi everyone. I don't like being late. Work was in my way today until just now.
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jennica!
	👻 4:58pm Jennica: Handy! I look forward to playing pinball w/ you and K. while we swill... I'm likely up there this Dec.
	4:58pm Chris Hiatt: Oh wow, it's that guy? Great trombonist.
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: Oh, cool, Jennica!
	👻 5:00pm DjLorraine: 🐿️Jennica🐿️!
	5:00pm brainiac: "cranberry sauce"
	5:00pm Kathleen: Unfortunately, Van Morrison supports anti-democratic causes now. Very sad.
	👻 5:01pm Jennica: DjLorraine! Yes.
	5:01pm PaulRobeson1922: Baby, I am America
	5:04pm Hubig Pie: This is in the key of Z , in 9/8 time
	5:04pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Irwin! Must complement Curha on his complementary colors "Red Blue Yellow" 'Three Weird Sunsets' song.
	5:06pm Noel: Sounds kind of like The Fall.
	5:06pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): ...and Alternative TV, kinda.
	5:06pm Laura L: Real toe tappers, From Corley.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: "Chorley" sounds like a good adjective for this guy's style.
	5:07pm Carmichael: Everything sounds like The Fall. No wait, The Fall sounds like everything.
	5:07pm steveo: A bit chorlish
	5:07pm Irwin: Soon to be remastered and issued in a lavish boxed set!
	5:07pm Handy Haversack: He Chorleted in his joy.
	5:07pm Matt from Springfield: Is this a found sound, he reminds me of Shodder Grayson and Woodstock Al et al.
	5:08pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): I hope it includes outtakes.
	5:09pm Matt from Springfield: @Dean: BBC Sessions as well. *Big Brown Container
	5:09pm PaulRobeson1922: Grope Chortle
	5:09pm Carmichael: Th' TOOTH!
	5:10pm Matt from Springfield: Spooky Tooth! Legendary Mass. psych band.
	5:10pm Irwin: Great band. Dumb name. But I needed a long track while I vac the main studio.
	5:10pm Wet Leg: Listen to Gary Wright mashin' them keys
	5:10pm Carmichael: The Dream Weaver was in this band.
	5:11pm Matt from Springfield: The classic "Hoover track" of the afternoon...
	5:12pm Asheville Jon: Irwin: was looking on Discogs and saw a From Chorley song called " Amazon Nugget Dealer (exerpt). Did you play that?
	5:12pm brainiac: Ok, that Wet Leg message was really me incognito.
	5:13pm C in Thailand: Interesting that people are on Spooky Tooth while I'm still with From Chorley. I guess that's what happens when there's a traffic jam on the trans-Pacific cables.
	5:14pm Ochre Ogre: And demos, 4 CD or 8 LP box set.
	5:14pm Irwin: Ashville: Is there a third FC track??? Find it for me!
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: There are many reasons for streaming delays, but they're not always geographically related. Sometimes overseas listeners are ahead of US listeners.
	5:15pm Asheville Jon: Irwin: it is listed here: www.discogs.com...
	5:15pm steveo: I'm already on Boz Scaggs, which is after the spooky tooth
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if it's me & From Chorley's grandmother it's TheFall...
	👻 5:16pm chris in the redwoods: this Spooky Tooth is a monster track. you're in for a treat, C!
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: OK, getting set to take off here. Many thanks, Irwin! Good stuff. Later on, Irwinians.
	5:17pm Ochre Ogre: Irwin- What are those stains on the main studio carpet, or better if I don't know?
	5:17pm Matt from Springfield: MONSTERS of Rrrrrrrrrrrrocckkkkkk!
	👻 5:17pm chris in the redwoods: ciao, Handy.
	5:18pm Matt from Springfield: Peace out, Handy!
	5:18pm steveo: Ah shit, bad guess
	5:18pm Carmichael: I woulda guessed Frampton, steveo.
	5:18pm Matt from Springfield: @steveo: Ha, good one nonetheless!
	5:18pm Phillippe: Oooh, liking this Lord Huron!
	5:18pm dale: this lord huron has been on heavy rotation this summer on my lappity toppity box.
	5:19pm love2laf: Cocktail hour delayed until man comes home after business dinner, off to scrounge my own meal together. Cheers for the fantastic variety of music Irwin. Bye all.
	5:19pm Jessie: The Spooky Tooth album Ceremony, with French experimental composer Pierre Henry is quite the listen and not what you might expect.
	👻 5:20pm chris in the redwoods: all rock, no schlock!
	5:21pm ?: detecting subtle notes of chris isaac in this lord huron
	5:22pm Ochre Ogre: Matt- Right, some listeners overseas are ahead by hours and already tuned into Therese.
	5:22pm Irwin: Jessie: Ceremony practically killed the band. Commercially, personnel-wise, etc. etc.
	5:23pm Matt from Springfield: No spoilers, overseas!
	👻 5:23pm DjLorraine: I have a favorite Lord Huron
	5:24pm ?: Ochre Ogre that sounds like something Hearty White would say
	👻 5:26pm DjLorraine: He can say a lot of things. Fascinating!
	👻 5:27pm Jennica: One of my Scottish friends says that C. Isaak stole Wicked Game from his mate - they all played together from time to time in OH. And I'm signing up for more Spooky Tooth. Thanks, Irwin and comments friends.
	5:28pm Carmichael: Spooky trey.
	5:29pm ?: Jennica I believe your friend. OH is a fertile crescent
	👻 5:29pm chris in the redwoods: math checks out, Jennica. Wicked Game is the best thing that dude ever did, i reckon. what a great feckin' tune.
	5:29pm Matt from Springfield: THAT Gary Wright! Correct Carm!
	5:30pm The Oscar: I remember an old Radio Free Vestibule skit about a guy who only listens to bands with funny names, like Spooky Tooth, Mott the Hoople, and Belle Epoque. It ends with his friend tricking him into listening to “Hey Jude” by telling him the band is called Googlegax.
	5:30pm Matt from Springfield: Remember: 2nd and 4th Spooky Tooth albums!
	5:30pm Chris Hiatt: Covering the Beatles is always a walk on the tight rope.
	5:31pm Ochre Ogre: Dracula has spooky thooths.
	5:32pm Matt from Springfield: Eggy Played Guitar!!! I'm liking so far!
	5:32pm Irwin: Spooky Tooth covering "I Am the Walrus" was a BIG MISTAKE. A BONER, as grandpa used to say.
	5:32pm Mike tp: hello Irwin n pals of.just popped in on thiseggy weggy way
	5:32pm Ochre Ogre: -tooths-
	5:32pm Irwin: I love my morning eggy with GUSTO.
	👻 5:35pm DjLorraine: I wrote it down. 2 + 4 earlier in case there is a quiz
	5:35pm Ochre Ogre: Eggs was Francis Bacon's nickname.
	👻 5:35pm Jennica: There is always a quiz. xxx
	5:36pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Circus, Sept. '73, reporting on Spooky Tooth's reunion, an interview with Gary Wright: "We [Mike Harrison and GW] decided it would be nice to get together as Spooky Tooth again.... We both realized that the name Spooky Tooth had always been popular in an ambiguously mysterious way and that, since we split, more people than ever were interested in the band's LP's." That's all I can find.
	5:37pm Phillippe: did not recognize this as Tracey Thorn
	5:37pm dale: this sounds like everything but the girl girl.
	5:37pm Phillippe: we agree to disagree Dale
	5:38pm Matt from Springfield: Nice Tracey Thorn tune! And hey! She was in Everything but the Girl, I thought she was familiar.
	5:38pm Carmichael: Here's something regarding Ceremony: "The record is described by another as being "one of the great screw-ups in rock history". As Wright describes it, "...We did a project that wasn't our album. It was with this French electronic music composer named Pierre Henry. We just told the label, 'You know this is his album, not our album. We'll play on it just like musicians.' And then when the album was finished, they said, 'Oh no no — it's great. We're gonna release this as your next album.' We said, 'You can't do that. It doesn't have anything to do with the direction of Spooky Two and it will ruin our career.' And that's exactly what happened."
	5:39pm PaulRobeson1922: Ritalin for every man, woman & child
	5:39pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Nope, here's the genesis of Spooky Tooth, Circus, Dec. '75, Gary Wright again: "The name came from a guy I knew at Yale; he used to wright these weird poems and one of them had the phrase spooky tooth in it."
	5:39pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Er, he used to "write." Jesus.
	5:40pm ryansterlingvirtue: Loving this song
	5:40pm steveo: I like the name spooky tooth
	5:40pm brainiac: ... and that's when Gary turned to Dextromethorphan, poor chap.
	5:40pm steveo: Also I'm going to be Brian Eno for Halloween
	5:41pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Halloweeno
	5:41pm ryansterlingvirtue: @steveo if you pull it off Roxy Music might invite you on tour
	5:42pm brainiac: Oh, wait, that was Lester Bangs. Sorry.
	5:42pm McGroovey: Eggs was that Teenbeat band that was a side-project of the drummer in Unrest. Pfff. Drummers.
	👻 5:42pm karlward: steveo: Which Eno?
	5:43pm steveo: Leopard print
	5:43pm Phillippe: I'm going as a werewolf for Halloween. Fortunately it will not be a full moon, so the costume will be relatively easy
	👻 5:43pm karlward: Collect em all
	5:43pm McGroovey: I always stay home as myself for Halloween.
	👻 5:43pm karlward: Where "collect em all" means a 4 hour massively time-stretched drone of Bono or somebody saying "collect em all"
	5:43pm Hubig Pie: High forehead bangs is my favorite Eno look
	5:46pm dale: i miss basia.
	5:47pm The Count of Al Dente: For some time I've thought someone should develop guitar strings that don't squeek.
	5:48pm steveo: twitter.com...
	👻 5:48pm karlward: You mean flatwound guitar strings
	5:48pm MayJillar: Great show, just checking in to say hello to one of my favorite folks. Greetings.
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: "DENISE"! Now THIS is a good mashup/interpolation!
	5:50pm steveo: I agree, wonderful show Thank you very much Irwin
	5:51pm Irwin: Hello, Mr. Jillarmay. Nice to know you're in the house.
	👻 5:51pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:52pm BigP0ppa: Isn't Spooky Tooth a quirky way of saying Speak the Truth? I'm sure I heard that somewhere ages ago. probably on a WFMU comment board, so it must be true
	5:52pm Carmichael: I use DR acoustic strings. Haven't had much squeaking. Of course, that has as much to do with your skin as it does the string.
	5:53pm Matt from Springfield: Another enjoyable installment! Thanks Irwin!
	5:53pm Laura L: Thanks for a fine show again today, Irwin.
	5:53pm Ochre Ogre: Hubig- Wonder if that that guy in Slayed got that hair style from Eno?
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always Mr. DJ IDC Sir ~
	5:53pm PaulRobeson1922: Got one more thing to say Honey, you can go or you can stay Either way be straight with me @BigP0ppa You know there's no other way
	5:54pm Phillippe: Thanks Irwin! Passing marks all around!
	5:54pm ?: You are awesome!!! I love this retro style stuff!! Thank you
	5:54pm Phillippe: Even my air guitar strings squeak
	5:55pm Irwin: Thanks all for listening, for the comments, for the camaraderie, for the spelling corrections, for tolerating the stuff you didn't like, and for any other courtesy I've left out.
	5:55pm HyperDose: I adore this song. I adore you, Irwin. Many thanks.
	5:55pm Carmichael: Nest week: Mahogany Rush. thanks Irwin.
	5:55pm The Count of Al Dente: @Irwin: It's good to hear you again. I'll have to check my cassette archives to see if I have any of your shows from the '80's
	5:55pm Ochre Ogre: Everything on all the FMU comments boards is absolutely true.
	5:56pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Irwin!
	5:56pm Matt from Springfield: @Count: Hey, maybe they can upload some of those as Archives! There are some older shows that have been digitized and posted here!
	5:56pm brainiac: Thank you, Irwin. Today's was a most enjoyable show. So long everyone. CARM: Check your junk mail folder!
	5:56pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks neighbor!
	👻 5:57pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Irwin!
	5:58pm BigP0ppa: If I have faith in anything, it's in fellow WFMU listeners
	5:58pm Hubig Pie: TY for the soundtrack to an interminable wait at the airport
	5:58pm Irwin: G'night, Jackson. Good luck with Mr. Judge's record-chasing.
	5:58pm Carmichael: I responded, brainiac.
	5:58pm brainiac: Huzzah!
	5:59pm Pax: Been doing a wee bit of lurking, now it's time for me to say good show, And thanks
	5:59pm BigP0ppa: Another 'must' weekly show. at some point o will have to abandon family friends and work
	5:59pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks for vacuuming too Irwin!
	6:00pm The Count of Al Dente: @Matt. It's on my to-do list to digitize them all. Maybe 25 tapes?
	6:04pm Matt from Springfield: Excellent, we'd all enjoy that, Count! :)
	5:59pm Theremaniac: Last!!

	3:28pm Handy Haversack: You can do this, brainiac. This is what we trained for.
	3:28pm Matt from Springfield: "Obnoxious Noodnik" is an appropriate NYC area moniker.
	3:29pm brainiac: Don't let him kid you, Matt. The 'D' stands for (the) DEAN.
	3:29pm Bernardo: None of the above. Gus is a sexy american side of man meat with the voice of god himself.
	3:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Handy: Great choices of drinks, above. I love whisk(e)y myself. Is your Penicillin with Scotch or Canadian?
	3:30pm chi ming in: Or his just a side of meat?
	3:31pm Matt from Springfield: Prof. Chusid, Dean of Genre-Surfing.
	3:31pm Handy Haversack: Matt from Springfield: we were actually at a bar in the neighborhood that serves only American beers and liquors, so it was peated American whiskey in the Penicillin.
	3:31pm Matt from Springfield: ELO "Telephone Line"!
	3:32pm chi ming in: Bespoke thesaurus grifter
	3:32pm PaulRobeson1922: @The Butterman @3:26: it’s 13.
	3:33pm brainiac: Tell Gus I said, "Up your nose with a rubber hose."
	3:33pm Matt from Springfield: Interessant, Handy. American non-Bourbon whiskies are becoming more common, though I have yet to try one that Wowed me. Colorado "Tin Cup" comes pretty close though.
	3:33pm PaulRobeson1922: A good encyclopedia set is something to be treasured
	👻 3:34pm rrg: Hi, Matt! I haven't seen your name in a while. But I don't get out much.
	3:35pm Steve S: No you don't.
	3:35pm Matt from Springfield: Hi rrg! Likewise, haven't seen your name in a while. But I'm getting (in) more on FMU. It helps that radiorethink finally allows for listening in my work building.
	3:36pm brainiac: Liked the Drive-By reference to Cynthia Plaster Caster.
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if they leaned into this more - it would just seem mean-spirited...
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..which of course it is...
	3:38pm Handy Haversack: Matt: I picked up a bourbon from Hudson Whiskey in the Hudson Valley a couple-three weeks back. Finished in bouron casks that had gone to Scotland to age peated scotch and then come home again. Pretty good!
	3:39pm Irwin: I love this band. Their songs are so wonderfully stupid.
	3:40pm ?: Is this a Jon Spencer cover?
	3:40pm McGroovey: I think casks made from recycled canoe cedar would make for a particularly pleasing northeast American flavor.
	3:41pm mb: Irwin
	3:42pm Matt from Springfield: @Handy: Sounds great! A reverse of the typical Bourbon-aged Scotch cask. Innis & Gunn is a major beer of Edinburgh, just tried their Scotch-barreled beer the other day. A bit oaky and toffee finish but a great taste!
	3:42pm McGroovey: It turns out they my microwave has a bad HV capacitor. $10-20 part (used-new on eBay). Cheaper than a while new microwave appliance.
	3:42pm McGroovey: *whole
	3:42pm brainiac: I might have guessed these morons were ... huh? Swedish?
	👻 3:43pm DjLorraine: Handy i saw a commercial of a portable canoe. Any thoughts spring to mind?
	3:44pm TimSF: Handy: I saw Bourbon ,"finished",and 3 weeks...I thought you emptied the 750 already.
	3:44pm Matt from Springfield: @McGroovey: I love cedar, but it's intense. Maybe a partially cedar barrel, 3/4 oak and a bit of clove finish to taste.
	3:45pm love2laf: Innis & Gunn can be bought here, and it is a decent beer. One year though, a bar had it on tap, while I was looking after my Dad. I drank that every damned time I could get there, it was a completely different beer on tap.
	3:46pm Handy Haversack: Oh, yeah, I've had that, Matt! Small doses, but it's good. DjLorraine, very much depends on where you want to use it! A friend has the Ally-brand rubber canoe, which is pretty cool once you get the assembly figured out. I have also seen some really light paper ones. But I wouldn't want to be on the East River in them! Calm waters, though? A light, portable boat would be a treat!
	3:46pm brainiac: Saw Deerhoof play free in a band shell in Chicago several years back. I believe the drummer was on acid. He wandered the stage a bit between songs.
	3:47pm steveo: Pure fire, Irwin, this set
	3:47pm Irwin: Matt: cedar planks are the chef's kiss for grilled salmon!
	👻 3:47pm xtrakrispy: They always serve Innis & Gunn at Whisky Live and other whiskey tasting events. After an hour of tasting whisky, that damned beer table is a joy to come across!
	3:49pm ryansterlingvirtue: Just found out grace is opening for lykke li in NYC. So stoked
	3:49pm Matt from Springfield: @love2laf: A nice surprise for you! A "surprise tap" can be unreliable, but occasional you'll hit real paydirt with it. @xtrakrispy: That would be a great complement!
	3:50pm Matt from Springfield: Agree, Irwin! I like cedar plank salmon - though it is a strong scent, just a little, and it goes against the fish scent.
	3:51pm Dean: I'm gonna exercise on my last day. That's why it'll be my last day.
	3:51pm love2laf: This set is pure fire. Thank you Irwin, it's perfect.
	3:54pm ryansterlingvirtue: Also think this set is perfect perfect perfect
	3:55pm Matt from Springfield: Especially with this Martin Courtney! "Baroque Americana" or something like!
	3:55pm egould: Gah! I was in a teleconference and missed Gus Bodenheim. I hope he’s got more stuff.
	3:56pm Irwin: Gus will deliver an encore later in the program.
	3:57pm KWilde: Outstanding show so far
	3:57pm Matt from Springfield: I've returned to Irwin's show after years being away - it seems Gus Bodenheim is his latest star, the "Tullis & Clark" or "Joe Frank" place of years past.
	3:58pm BH: good afternoon, I just got back from getting a filing at the dentist office and my team just fired their President of Baseball Operations while I was taking care of that so play some music for people who have had the left side of their mouths numbed up
	3:58pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooo! Ancient history 7SD Encore!
	👻 3:58pm βrian: That would be a 27-year delay, then?
	3:59pm mb: I keep forgetting to tell my therapist about Joe Frank
	4:00pm Handy Haversack: Trusting the process is over, BH?
	4:00pm ryansterlingvirtue: I love VB too. I saw them live. Super band
	4:00pm Chris Hiatt: I missed the Viagra Boys song in the set. Don't know them, is there an album I should start off with?
	4:01pm BH: Handy, i'm sure there'll be a new process to trust soon enough
	4:01pm ryansterlingvirtue: I got alvvays tix too
	4:01pm Matt from Springfield: The Viagra Boys are NOT for everyone. But FMU is prob the best place to find those who would dig them! (Myself included!)
	4:02pm TimSF: I'd rather listen to Viagra Boys than Proud Boys
	4:02pm Dean: First heard VB at my local coffee shop. Dug 'em.
	4:02pm Irwin: I decided last night that Cheekface might the most annoying artist around. Not saying he's bad or untalented -- but super-annoying.
	👻 4:02pm βrian: And the Niagra Girls?
	4:03pm Irwin: Surprised they'd play VB in a coffee shop. Good for that coffee shop.
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: You'll always have 2015.
	4:04pm brainiac: I wish my team would fire their owners (The Ricketts family)
	4:04pm luka: Cheekface. woof.
	4:05pm Dean: It is a special coffee shop, indeed. One morning it's Morton Feldman, another Cumbia, industrial noise, and then VB.
	4:07pm Irwin: Where is this place? What city, or town?
	4:07pm brainiac: It was 2016 for the Cubs, Handy, and yes I will always have that.
	4:09pm brainiac: That at 3.52 will get me a cuppa coffee.
	4:09pm brainiac: Oh, never mind
	4:10pm Dean: Berkeley, near the corner of Gilman and Santa Fe, Coffee Conscious. A gem.
	4:11pm Hubig Pie: The slaughter house kings don't know how to run a baseball team either
	4:12pm Dean: At least half the time I visit (several times a week) I'm wearing a WFMU t-shirt. One of the regulars asked me if I'm from NJ. Nope. Never left California.
	4:12pm Matt from Springfield: That IS a Berkeley, Left Coast coffee shop! I wouldn't expect a coffee shop with near that eclecticism anywhere near DC (or even the whole Mid Atlantic region).
	4:13pm McGroovey: King Ropes!
	4:13pm Handy Haversack: I'm planning on pregaming a little at Jimmy's Corner in Manhattan before BÖC. Haven't been there since before the pandemic. Glad it reopened.
	4:14pm Dean: Speaking of BÖC, The Dictators are on the road again, playing in Canada. Drummer is Albert Bouchard. https://www.thedictators.com/post/the-dictators-announce-3-upcoming-shows-in-canada
	4:14pm Matt from Springfield: BÖC live! With Buck Dharma and orig members?
	4:14pm Destroit: King Ropes indeed!
	4:14pm 605: Sounds like froggy fresh
	4:15pm brainiac: Will people yell "more cowbell" between songs, and if so, will they be booed?
	4:15pm Destroit: Love everything ive ever heard from King Ropes
	4:15pm Dean: They'll be mooed.
	4:16pm Irwin: Like KR, vocalist on that song reminds me a bit of Dean Wareham, but that's not a bad thing.
	👻 4:18pm DjLorraine: Any audio clips involving a Hilti drill and blue tapcons?
	4:18pm McGroovey: When King Ropes were still in NYC, they were known as Home For Wayward Drummers, in case that rings actives l anyone's bell.
	4:20pm steveo: OMG why do I love this
	👻 4:21pm rrg: This isn't a mashup, is it?
	4:21pm Irwin: Nope.
	4:22pm Matt from Springfield: Doesn't sound good on paper...but then again paper doesn't sound good, does it! ;) Like the 70s with later 70s with 90s 70s revival and 10s 80s/90s 70s vaporwave revival. All coming together at once.
	👻 4:22pm rrg: Yes, I see, it's a new single. Wow.
	4:23pm Laura L: Is this the song that Elton John did to help Britney Spears? heard something about that but didn't hear it.
	👻 4:23pm rrg: And now Prof. Elemental. Jolly good.
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: Matt: Playing the first album in its entirety. first of three nights!
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: @Handy: Enjoy! Sounds amazing. Prof. Elemental, a long time Irwin fave!
	4:24pm Barno in Akron: Professor Elemental, nice!
	4:25pm Dean: It's like the EJ/Dua Lipa part-swapping track from last year.
	4:26pm Matt from Springfield: @Dean: Ah, good term. Not a mash up, but a "part swap". Describes the feel of that arrangement.
	4:27pm brainiac: Have I showed you my collection of kitschy mid century shot glasses?
	4:29pm roadsider: @Irwin! My god it's been far too long since I listened to your show! Over 20 years in fact! I used to listen to The Incorrect Music Hour and then kind of drifted away. I can't believe what I've been missing. Just wanted to say hello. Please don't tell me that next week is your last show. That happens to me a lot. This is easily the best show on WFMU. Thank you. And thank you for the tips about Suddenly Tammy!
	👻 4:30pm rrg: I'm pretty sure you've played Britney before.

	👻 4:31pm rrg: But I'm not going to look it up. Someone else can do that.
	4:31pm ?: Are we sure Britney is telling the truth? She probably just wants attention
	4:32pm Ike: Wet Leg is definitely annoying, yet I like them anyway. I don't know why. I expect to get completely sick of them very very soon. But not yet!
	4:32pm Matt from Springfield: Welcome back, roadsider! It's also my first time back in a while, though not quite that long! Actually, this is his first week back on Wednesdays after a couple schedule changes, so he's back until next spring at least. The Incorrect Music Hour was before my time, but its archives are golden!
	4:32pm Laura L: That's right! You gonna play "Ringworm"?
	4:32pm Matt from Springfield: Dum Dum George.
	4:33pm Carmichael: I understand someone was talking about me. Looking at YOU, Handy.
	4:34pm josh in the uk: Is that you, Daniel Johnston?
	👻 4:34pm karlward: Today I learned that autotune was invented in the sixties
	4:35pm brainiac: Yo, Carmichael: it's not easy picking up the slack now that you're OTW
	4:35pm The Oscar: I first heard these tracks on a budget line Van Morrison box set my dad bought back in the early '00s, where each disc ended with maybe a dozen Contractual Obligation tracks with absolutely no context. It felt like drifting into an alternate universe.
	4:36pm Carmichael: I have faith in you, brainiac. Also, be sure to tip genrously.
	4:36pm castor: Wanna Danish?
	4:36pm McGroovey: Oh, jeez, this Van Morrison is AOK.
	4:36pm Hubig Pie: No, it's only impetigo
	4:36pm brainiac: OT, did you get my email, Carm?
	4:36pm egould: It’s okay to not like some artists/songs. Even artists that everybody says you simply must like. Me: Tupac, Radiohead, Van Morrison, Jim Morrison, ELO, Queen, Sublime. Don’t like ‘em. There are more, too.
	4:37pm Matt from Springfield: @The Oscar: Sounds like an off-label non-quite-legit pressing!
	4:37pm Ike: These are the only Van Morrison songs that I like.
	4:37pm ?: a giant baby and a lousy tipper
	👻 4:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Irwin and fellow law-abiding citizens.
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's a hard choice between this & AstralWeeks I must admit. The groundbreaking Garagey Maximum R&B of Them aside...
	4:38pm Asparagus: Possibly the greatest music I’ve ever heard
	4:38pm Matt from Springfield: @Ike: I recall you liking "Madame George" sometime before, but also noting the exception to your rule.
	4:39pm love2laf: Oh my, I'm dying, I thought this was a spoof, and I was this many years old when I found out about this Van Morrison album. Clearly I'm not a fan, but that's a worthwhile piece of music history.
	4:39pm Matt from Springfield: Hi Ken HP! Yeah, law and stuff...no need to look at this Van Morrison box set I'm making. For...a school project...
	4:39pm The Oscar: @Matt That it most certainly was-- one of those cheapo $15 3-CD sets with no liner notes and a grainy album cover. Ah, the CD days!
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - the Bang RCOSs are a classic gesture to be sure...
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: Just doing my part here, Carmichael! We're all in this together!
	4:40pm Jessie: I wonder what Lester Bangs would have thought of this Van Morrison release.
	4:40pm Carmichael: @brainiac, hmmm, no I didn't. Can you resend?
	4:40pm Irwin: I wonder what rating the "Dean of Rock Critics" would have assigned it?
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah ...but how many 'I hate Van Morrison' people have just heard 'Brown Eyed Girl' 1,000 times too many & don't even know 'Astral Weeks'. Let alone the nonsense he's uttering these days...
	4:42pm Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: Quite a stretch and variety of Van sounds from '65 to '69: Them/Bang/TB Sheets/(VMCO!)/Astral Weeks/Caledonia soul, which he stuck with for the next several years.
	4:42pm brainiac: @Carm: Sure, but I sent it to your listener_@hotmail addy. Is that one no-goodsky?
	4:43pm McGroovey: I love ELO. I like seeing Radiohead live, for some reason, but I'm interferent to their records. Seventies Queen is key teenage music for me (and my teenage daughter is a Queen fan now). The others in egould's list, I'm basically indifferent to. I know I've heard Sublime and Tupac that I dislike, but not enough to put them on my rant-list -- not enough to remember what they are. Like, I hate that song Closing Time, and I hate it so much that I've been known to spend 30 minutes describing why I hate it so much.
	4:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Matt: I guess maybe one or two notable things happened in the culture in those years ...but I was barely a toddler & I haven't heard...
	4:44pm McGroovey: interferent = indifferent (Autocorrected)
	4:44pm Carmichael: Yes, brainiac, fire away.
	4:44pm Carmichael: Van the Man: longreads.com...
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Imho Queen jumped the shark with 'News Of The World' when they sold out to the USA market & became massive. Like the man said about relating to popular tastes...
	4:46pm Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: It would be painstaking to compile and calibrate, but maybe I could develop a "Beatle unit" (BTLU) to describe rapid pop culture changes. Each year in the 60s represents 1 BTLU, based on the band's logarithmic changes. Use this BTLU metric to calculate pop culture evolution for any given year...
	4:46pm Jessie: Lester letting us know what Astral Weeks meant.-"It's no Eastern mystic or psychedelic vision of the emerald beyond, nor is it some Baudelairean perception of the beauty of sleaze and grotesquerie. Maybe what it boiled down to is one moment's knowledge of the miracle of life, with its inevitable concomitant, a vertiginous glimpse of the capacity to be hurt, and the capacity to inflict that hurt".
	4:46pm Matt from Springfield: I'll enlist the help of MIT and CalTech (along w/ NASA's JPL) to properly develop such a metric..
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm. There is the simple matter of hating anything one has been excessively force-fed. But this begs the question if there are certain things that lend themselves to the Lowest Common Denominator is such a commercially distributed manner ...which obviously there usually is.
	4:49pm Hubig Pie: I loved Astral Weeks so much , I went to see Van Morrison when he played the Nola jazzfest in the mid-90's. He was gawd-awful and I left
	4:50pm Matt from Springfield: @Hubig Pie: Van is considered an unreliable live performer - and with so many diff past styles even his music is quite divergent. He has done Astral Weeks live concerts before, but even then you might catch him on an "off night".
	4:50pm steveo: The Queen is dead
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...often comparing Musical consumption to Food consumption. Useful I find. Hubig - no argument. Van's personal temperament has always been noted as well ...tho I don't ask Artists to be otherwise. Yet is the ticket is bought & the check's been cashed...
	4:52pm Jessie: Maybe the endless bottles of Romilar provided clarity into Astral Weeks.
	4:52pm Hubig Pie: @Matt, he did some sort of jazz improv in front of a festival crowd. I don't think anyone was enjoying it.
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *iF the ticket's bought...
	4:53pm Matt from Springfield: Driving from North VA to Southwest VA, through the Appalachians in the years before sat radio, when I lost the signal from the 2 terrestrial stations I could stand (in Roanoke and DC), I would keep CDs like Astral Weeks and Nick Drake's Bryter Layter in my front seat, and stick them in for the middle part of my journey. There are many reasons people consider those among the best of all time.
	4:53pm Ike: @MfS@4:38, then you have a much better memory than I do! Impressive!
	4:53pm steveo: I buried Paul
	4:54pm Carmichael: I thought he was saying, "I'm very bored."
	4:54pm Matt from Springfield: @Ike: I'm a natural "Archivist" round here :) Plus, it involved an Astral Weeks song, making the recall more memorable.
	4:55pm steveo: Cranberry sauce

	5:04pm Hubig Pie: This is in the key of Z , in 9/8 time
	5:04pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Irwin! Must complement Curha on his complementary colors "Red Blue Yellow" 'Three Weird Sunsets' song.
	5:06pm Noel: Sounds kind of like The Fall.
	5:06pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): ...and Alternative TV, kinda.
	5:06pm Laura L: Real toe tappers, From Corley.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: "Chorley" sounds like a good adjective for this guy's style.
	5:07pm Carmichael: Everything sounds like The Fall. No wait, The Fall sounds like everything.
	5:07pm steveo: A bit chorlish
	5:07pm Irwin: Soon to be remastered and issued in a lavish boxed set!
	5:07pm Handy Haversack: He Chorleted in his joy.
	5:07pm Matt from Springfield: Is this a found sound, he reminds me of Shodder Grayson and Woodstock Al et al.
	5:08pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): I hope it includes outtakes.

	5:10pm Wet Leg: Listen to Gary Wright mashin' them keys
	5:10pm Carmichael: The Dream Weaver was in this band.
	5:11pm Matt from Springfield: The classic "Hoover track" of the afternoon...
	5:12pm Asheville Jon: Irwin: was looking on Discogs and saw a From Chorley song called " Amazon Nugget Dealer (exerpt). Did you play that?
	5:12pm brainiac: Ok, that Wet Leg message was really me incognito.
	5:13pm C in Thailand: Interesting that people are on Spooky Tooth while I'm still with From Chorley. I guess that's what happens when there's a traffic jam on the trans-Pacific cables.
	5:14pm Ochre Ogre: And demos, 4 CD or 8 LP box set.
	5:14pm Irwin: Ashville: Is there a third FC track??? Find it for me!
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: There are many reasons for streaming delays, but they're not always geographically related. Sometimes overseas listeners are ahead of US listeners.
	5:15pm Asheville Jon: Irwin: it is listed here: www.discogs.com...
	5:15pm steveo: I'm already on Boz Scaggs, which is after the spooky tooth
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if it's me & From Chorley's grandmother it's TheFall...

	5:17pm Ochre Ogre: Irwin- What are those stains on the main studio carpet, or better if I don't know?
	5:17pm Matt from Springfield: MONSTERS of Rrrrrrrrrrrrocckkkkkk!
	👻 5:17pm chris in the redwoods: ciao, Handy.
	5:18pm Matt from Springfield: Peace out, Handy!
	5:18pm steveo: Ah shit, bad guess
	5:18pm Carmichael: I woulda guessed Frampton, steveo.
	5:18pm Matt from Springfield: @steveo: Ha, good one nonetheless!
	5:18pm Phillippe: Oooh, liking this Lord Huron!
	5:18pm dale: this lord huron has been on heavy rotation this summer on my lappity toppity box.
	5:19pm love2laf: Cocktail hour delayed until man comes home after business dinner, off to scrounge my own meal together. Cheers for the fantastic variety of music Irwin. Bye all.
	5:19pm Jessie: The Spooky Tooth album Ceremony, with French experimental composer Pierre Henry is quite the listen and not what you might expect.
	👻 5:20pm chris in the redwoods: all rock, no schlock!
	5:21pm ?: detecting subtle notes of chris isaac in this lord huron
	5:22pm Ochre Ogre: Matt- Right, some listeners overseas are ahead by hours and already tuned into Therese.
	5:22pm Irwin: Jessie: Ceremony practically killed the band. Commercially, personnel-wise, etc. etc.
	5:23pm Matt from Springfield: No spoilers, overseas!
	👻 5:23pm DjLorraine: I have a favorite Lord Huron
	5:24pm ?: Ochre Ogre that sounds like something Hearty White would say
	👻 5:26pm DjLorraine: He can say a lot of things. Fascinating!
	👻 5:27pm Jennica: One of my Scottish friends says that C. Isaak stole Wicked Game from his mate - they all played together from time to time in OH. And I'm signing up for more Spooky Tooth. Thanks, Irwin and comments friends.
	5:28pm Carmichael: Spooky trey.
	5:29pm ?: Jennica I believe your friend. OH is a fertile crescent
	👻 5:29pm chris in the redwoods: math checks out, Jennica. Wicked Game is the best thing that dude ever did, i reckon. what a great feckin' tune.
	5:29pm Matt from Springfield: THAT Gary Wright! Correct Carm!
	5:30pm The Oscar: I remember an old Radio Free Vestibule skit about a guy who only listens to bands with funny names, like Spooky Tooth, Mott the Hoople, and Belle Epoque. It ends with his friend tricking him into listening to “Hey Jude” by telling him the band is called Googlegax.
	5:30pm Matt from Springfield: Remember: 2nd and 4th Spooky Tooth albums!
	5:30pm Chris Hiatt: Covering the Beatles is always a walk on the tight rope.
	5:31pm Ochre Ogre: Dracula has spooky thooths.
	5:32pm Matt from Springfield: Eggy Played Guitar!!! I'm liking so far!
	5:32pm Irwin: Spooky Tooth covering "I Am the Walrus" was a BIG MISTAKE. A BONER, as grandpa used to say.
	5:32pm Mike tp: hello Irwin n pals of.just popped in on thiseggy weggy way
	5:32pm Ochre Ogre: -tooths-
	5:32pm Irwin: I love my morning eggy with GUSTO.

	5:35pm Ochre Ogre: Eggs was Francis Bacon's nickname.
	👻 5:35pm Jennica: There is always a quiz. xxx
	5:36pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Circus, Sept. '73, reporting on Spooky Tooth's reunion, an interview with Gary Wright: "We [Mike Harrison and GW] decided it would be nice to get together as Spooky Tooth again.... We both realized that the name Spooky Tooth had always been popular in an ambiguously mysterious way and that, since we split, more people than ever were interested in the band's LP's." That's all I can find.
	5:37pm Phillippe: did not recognize this as Tracey Thorn
	5:37pm dale: this sounds like everything but the girl girl.
	5:37pm Phillippe: we agree to disagree Dale
	5:38pm Matt from Springfield: Nice Tracey Thorn tune! And hey! She was in Everything but the Girl, I thought she was familiar.
	5:38pm Carmichael: Here's something regarding Ceremony: "The record is described by another as being "one of the great screw-ups in rock history". As Wright describes it, "...We did a project that wasn't our album. It was with this French electronic music composer named Pierre Henry. We just told the label, 'You know this is his album, not our album. We'll play on it just like musicians.' And then when the album was finished, they said, 'Oh no no — it's great. We're gonna release this as your next album.' We said, 'You can't do that. It doesn't have anything to do with the direction of Spooky Two and it will ruin our career.' And that's exactly what happened."
	5:39pm PaulRobeson1922: Ritalin for every man, woman & child
	5:39pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Nope, here's the genesis of Spooky Tooth, Circus, Dec. '75, Gary Wright again: "The name came from a guy I knew at Yale; he used to wright these weird poems and one of them had the phrase spooky tooth in it."
	5:39pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Er, he used to "write." Jesus.
	5:40pm ryansterlingvirtue: Loving this song
	5:40pm steveo: I like the name spooky tooth
	5:40pm brainiac: ... and that's when Gary turned to Dextromethorphan, poor chap.
	5:40pm steveo: Also I'm going to be Brian Eno for Halloween
	5:41pm Dean (but not of Rock Critics): Halloweeno
	5:41pm ryansterlingvirtue: @steveo if you pull it off Roxy Music might invite you on tour
	5:42pm brainiac: Oh, wait, that was Lester Bangs. Sorry.
	5:42pm McGroovey: Eggs was that Teenbeat band that was a side-project of the drummer in Unrest. Pfff. Drummers.
	👻 5:42pm karlward: steveo: Which Eno?
	5:43pm steveo: Leopard print
	5:43pm Phillippe: I'm going as a werewolf for Halloween. Fortunately it will not be a full moon, so the costume will be relatively easy
	👻 5:43pm karlward: Collect em all
	5:43pm McGroovey: I always stay home as myself for Halloween.
	👻 5:43pm karlward: Where "collect em all" means a 4 hour massively time-stretched drone of Bono or somebody saying "collect em all"
	5:43pm Hubig Pie: High forehead bangs is my favorite Eno look
	5:46pm dale: i miss basia.
	5:47pm The Count of Al Dente: For some time I've thought someone should develop guitar strings that don't squeek.

	5:48pm MayJillar: Great show, just checking in to say hello to one of my favorite folks. Greetings.

	👻 5:51pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:52pm BigP0ppa: Isn't Spooky Tooth a quirky way of saying Speak the Truth? I'm sure I heard that somewhere ages ago. probably on a WFMU comment board, so it must be true
	5:52pm Carmichael: I use DR acoustic strings. Haven't had much squeaking. Of course, that has as much to do with your skin as it does the string.
	5:53pm Matt from Springfield: Another enjoyable installment! Thanks Irwin!
	5:53pm Laura L: Thanks for a fine show again today, Irwin.
	5:53pm Ochre Ogre: Hubig- Wonder if that that guy in Slayed got that hair style from Eno?

	5:55pm HyperDose: I adore this song. I adore you, Irwin. Many thanks.
	5:55pm Carmichael: Nest week: Mahogany Rush. thanks Irwin.
	5:55pm The Count of Al Dente: @Irwin: It's good to hear you again. I'll have to check my cassette archives to see if I have any of your shows from the '80's
	5:55pm Ochre Ogre: Everything on all the FMU comments boards is absolutely true.
	5:56pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Irwin!
	5:56pm Matt from Springfield: @Count: Hey, maybe they can upload some of those as Archives! There are some older shows that have been digitized and posted here!
