	3:01pm Laura L: Say, isn't that Herb Alpert with some Newark, NJ, non-brass fixtures?

	♥ 3:09pm Hughie Considine: Irwin, last week you said something to the effect of, if you come across any album by McCoy Tyner, grab it. I came across "Supertrios" the other day for a mere 6 bucks and did grab it. And am happy I did.
	♥ 3:09pm newton: ↳ Irwin @3:02 I thought it was englebert
	♥ 3:09pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Irwin @3:02 Incredible I thought he was some kind of De-moustachioed Butt Reynolds
	♥ 3:10pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "The Unpleasant Noise Public Service Announcement"... Man, now I just want to log off work and watch Godzilla movies all day.
	♥ 3:11pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Song: "Her Majesty" by "George Colligan (ft. Larry Grena... This was fantastic. Thanks, Irwin. Gonna have to check this guy out and hope nobody alerts the Jazz Police.
	♥ 3:11pm Clincher16": ↳ Song: "The Unpleasant Noise Public Service Announcement"... Honestly thought this was some old Firesign Theatre.
	♥ 3:12pm Handy Haversack: Irwin. Irwinners. Ur-winners.
	♥ 3:12pm Bucky: I wonder which weekly DJ comment section uses the most punctuation and whether it corelates to that show's typical demographic.
	♥ 3:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Unpleasant Noise Public Service Announcement"... Pontypool changes everything.
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm Martin of the Berkshires: The lead singer of Squid has a very distinctive voice
	♥ 3:14pm mndave: ↳ Martin of the Berkshires @3:13 He reminded me of Ted Leo in the first verse but agree, definitely unique
	♥ 3:14pm Irwin: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:12 Needs to be my weekly opening theme.
	3:14pm Carmichael: ↳ NotARealDoctor @3:09 These kids today ... <smh>
	♥ 3:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Irwin @3:14 Maybe it's not too late to get on the Swag CD.
	♥ 3:15pm 12539: Irwin!
	♥ 3:20pm Irwin: ↳ Bob Tankenstein @3:11 The JP are big Geo Colligan fans.
	♥ 3:25pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Irwin @3:20 I was afraid it might not be spaced out enough for them. Maybe I should apply for JP Academy.
	♥ 3:27pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Nimm mein Auto und dann fahr" by "Klaus Beyer" Somewhere I have a 3" CD single of Klaus Beyer doing Beatles songs, which I somehow found in a store in college!
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Morphology" by "Curtis Hasselbring" You want to be really careful with that CurHa pronounciation if you're near Polish people
	♥ 3:33pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Is There a Bodenheim?" by "Gus Bodenheim" Yes, Gus, there IS a Virginia!!! I remember this fondly. HI Irwin and Chusidors and Bodensprites!
	♥ 3:33pm Irwin: ↳ The Oscar @3:27 He covered every Beatles album.
	♥ 3:34pm Matt from Springfield: Romeo Void 🤘
	♥ 3:35pm NotARealDoctor: We believe. Bodenheim lives. 🙏
	3:35pm Carmichael: Gus, like Elvis, is everywhere.
	♥ 3:37pm Bob Tankenstein: Bodenheim is still real to me dammit
	3:37pm Fredericks: ↳ Irwin @9:58 "Under Eva’s watch, the reading list expanded its meditation on slavery as the central paradox of the Founding. Frederick Douglass’s speeches were installed on the reading list, alongside The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois—then much less known than now. The latter addition was accompanied by a Friday night lecture by Lucius Outlaw, a scholar of Du Bois."
	♥ 3:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Is There a Bodenheim?" by "Gus Bodenheim" I'm surprised Gus hasn't done more insurance ads, considering his flim-flamming.
	♥ 3:38pm Jim the Poet: Gus is immortal?
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Jim the Poet @3:38 There can only be one.
	♥ 3:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dim Sum" by "Chinese American Bear" Pre-Starred! Yummy dim sum song with those Beach Boys 'sleigh bells-on-the-beach'.
	♥ 3:40pm Irwin: ↳ Jim the Poet @3:38 You can lose the "t."
	♥ 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:40 Touché 🍸
	♥ 3:41pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @3:02 That photo presents what is known as a Juxtaposition of Incongruities.
	3:43pm Fredericks: "Measure twice, cut once, or just set your shop on fire."
	3:49pm Mister Dobalina: gosh darn it! Missed the first installment of the Gus B shenanigans.
	3:49pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "Koko Plays Pool" by "Samm Bennett" I remember an old cartoon called Out of the Inkwell with Koko The Clown
	♥ 3:50pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @3:49 This was Samm's soundtrack for that silent cartoon.
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm rrg: ↳ Carmichael @3:49 Not a single cartoon, it was a long-running series of cartoons by Max Fleischer, in the silent era.
	♥ 3:51pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @3:50 Yes, Samm recorded new soundtracks for seven from the Koko series.
	♥ 3:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:50 Nice. That would explain it. It sounds kind of nutty, but some of these segments are magnificent.
	3:52pm Carmichael: ↳ rrg @3:50 Oh, I mean a TV show
	3:52pm Cosmic: Great time to catch up on the chat. I’ve spent ages cutting difficult angles with a hand saw, then noticed a jigsaw. Chai and chat. Evening Irwin, greetings all.
	3:53pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @3:52 A color TV show, from the 60s most likely.
	♥ 3:54pm newton: ↳ Cosmic @3:52 you do dovetails on a jigsaw?
	♥ 3:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "It's Bad for Me" by "Jeri Southern" I admit it. First heard this by the Roches.
	3:57pm Cosmic: Not joinery, Newton, I’m cutting some 3d elements for a painting. Just shapes.
	3:57pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Grandpa Rock City" by "Drive-By Truckers" Chew those Rs!
	♥ 3:57pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "Grandpa Rock City" by "Drive-By Truckers" If grandpa was a rock star in the 70s, it's been a quick trip to the old folks home. Poor dude.
	♥ 3:58pm newton: ↳ Cosmic @3:57 cool
	🎸 ♥ 3:59pm rrg: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 All the original "Out of the Inkwell" cartoons were B&W.
	3:59pm ?: ↳ Song: "Grandpa Rock City" by "Drive-By Truckers" Medicare.
	♥ 4:04pm Irwin: ↳ mrdonutsu @3:57 Life on the road entails a lot of wear 'n' tear.
	4:04pm Cosmic: I’m loving the visuals these various sounds are lending me.
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Cosmic @4:04 I just finished a page and uploaded while listening. www.instagram.com...
	♥ 4:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Cosmic @4:04 You, and Adi, and many others over the years! Love it when people create art to the sounds of WFMU.
	4:07pm Fredericks: This is hot hot.
	4:08pm Cosmic: It is a cool thing to be doing, Newton. 🙏 it was due a few days ago so tonight is the dance.
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:05 Betsy love. How do Adi
	4:09pm ben & Reba: Thanks Irwin, from butler PA, for the shining rhythm sections.
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:06 WFMU is an astonishing gift for drawing stuff. Other radio doesn't take you anywhere as exciting/frightening/etc 😀
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:08 How do Spikey! 👍
	4:10pm βrian: Is that guy wearing a chest merkin?
	4:11pm Cosmic: Abi that’s great 😁
	♥ 4:13pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Keep On Lying" by "Tame Impala" Pre-Starred! The cut-in probably comes from its original album sequencing - or, just their style for this recording.
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Adi From Sheffield: I'm not exhaustive on their canon but I never met a Tame Impala song I didn't like.
	4:13pm Cosmic: Yes I agree! WFMU has been my companion through so many pieces. I couldn’t say how many. Over 20 years worth.
	🎸 ♥ 4:15pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Cosmic @4:13 I'm only a couple of years in but my evening drawing sessions are exclusively WFMU powered. It does mean I get to bed later than I should though 😀
	4:15pm Cosmic: That was to Abi, and Matt
	4:16pm Cosmic: That’s not a mistake, sometimes I do my d’s backwards
	♥ 4:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Cosmic @4:16 dackwarbs letters, d's, AND b's!
	4:19pm Cosmic: So good that you’ve found this place early on then! :) Your drawings are great, it’s clear to see you enjoy doing them.
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Cosmic @4:16 I got so good at doing it with i's and o's nobody every mentions it anymore
	4:21pm Cosmic: It’s good to mix letters up. And everything else, as Brian Eno would suggest.
	♥ 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bum Leg" by "Cake Like" LIKE Kerri Kenney's CAKE LIKE!! 🤘🎂
	4:26pm Roberto: A Juilo le gusta mirarte cagar.
	♥ 4:26pm egould: ↳ Song: "Thru the Flowers" by "The Primitives" I love the Primitives and their jangly guitars!
	4:26pm Kramer: ↳ Song: "Thru the Flowers" by "The Primitives" A little pop loveliness
	♥ 4:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:26 I as well! I also love The Bangles, and their jangles, and the fact that they are Bangles with jangles.
	♥ 4:29pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:27 Bangle jangle is sonic tonic.
	♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:29 👍🤘🎸🍸
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Cosmic @4:19 Thank you. I do. I have good fun with those characters. I think everyone has a world in them 😁
	♥ 4:33pm Jim the Poet: C H A O S
	4:34pm Mister Dobalina: A good time to visit the archives. Relive the past.
	♥ 4:34pm PaulRobeson1925: Restroom is compulsory. Listening is not
	♥ 4:34pm Jim the Poet: Uh oh I screwed up my taxes
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm Deano de los Muertos: I hope you get the help you need, Irwin.
	4:35pm Mister Dobalina: I recently sold some FMU swag on eBay. Got snatched up kinda quick.
	♥ 4:35pm Jim the Poet: I hope I get the help Irwin needs
	4:36pm Roberto: Black, tarry stools for Julio to enjoy!
	♥ 4:36pm PaulRobeson1925: The itching resonates
	♥ 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: I'm joining the class action suit against Seven Second Delay, it's given me and many others a severe case of Compulsive Eye-Rolling (CER).
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: what's Irwin talking about, the potential side-effects of "anti-depressants"?
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm Martin of the Berkshires: tar-ry stool
	♥ 4:37pm C!: I can’t wait!!!
	♥ 4:37pm Hughie Considine: Tarry, tarry night/ Paint your toilet blue and gray ...
	♥ 4:37pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:36 Uncontrolled happiness? Unstoppable elation?
	♥ 4:38pm Matt from Springfield: And is that true! We really don't need to subtract swag and prizes from our deductions! That would be sweet! At $8 per item, I guessimate the stuff I received and write in the lower deduction to be on the safe side.
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Martin of the Berkshires: I have never declared T-shirts or other said swag
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Dave G in VT: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "Thelonious Monk" Monk with a big band is a new experience for me. I'm not surprised though. Monk is always great, and this is no exception.
	♥ 4:41pm Matt from Springfield: "Tarry stools" - that's an obscure ref I only know because of an old MST3K joke explained on forums. They were checking Reagan for cancer because of "dark, tarry stools". So later Joel shows his invention of a zebra-skin footstool - "It's a Daktari stool!"
	♥ 4:44pm The Oscar: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:41 It took me years to figure that one out as well!
	♥ 4:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Hughie Considine @4:37 Quality line, in the tradition of Andy B.!
	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @4:37 black, tarry stools, pain and swelling and painful urination i can handle; but uncontrolled happiness would drive me nuts!
	♥ 4:46pm David L.: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "Thelonious Monk" While in middle school, the library in my hometown of Traverse City, MI had a surprisingly expansive collection of CDs. I, along with another friend of mine who had also decided to dispense with any aspirations of popularity and instead lean into jazz, would regularly borrow the limit, and we'd convene in the band room after school to blast our hauls on the stereo and jam out. This record was one of the ones we found, a particular hit. Funny how much of it is still lodged in my mind, 30+ years later. That inverted counterpoint on the last chorus blew our little pre-teen minds back then, sounds just as godly these days.
	♥ 4:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @4:44 The Annotated Guides are helpful, explaining sometimes distant pop culture refs from my Dad's generation that the show made in its original run. (Though I'm impressed at how many of those I get even without the Guides!)
	♥ 4:47pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Shanghai Noodle Factory" by "Traffic" Takes me back to the tenth grade - chripes!
	♥ 4:47pm San Pedro Girl: Hello Irwin, Irwinistas et al
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Martin of the Berkshires @4:40 i wouldn't either, if i was to deduct my wfmu donations, which i don't.
	♥ 4:48pm Matt from Springfield: Hola, Irwinista San Pedro Menina!
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Martin of the Berkshires: the unmistakable Broderick Crawford
	♥ 4:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:47 Hi SPG!
	♥ 4:52pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Shanghai Noodle Factory" by "Traffic" Hiya Franco! I got into Traffic early, and all this time later, am still in the jam.
	♥ 4:52pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Corona resistant?!
	♥ 4:52pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" One of the greatest songs of all time
	4:53pm Robert Zemetrix: where the hell is THIS from lol
	♥ 4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" THE O.G.!!!! 🤘 Irwin and others performed this - and now we can't not hear "corona resistant"!
	4:53pm P-90: When I have a problem I ALWAYS “think silicones”
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" FYI: you do not have to wait until you have a question or a problem to think Silicone.
	♥ 4:54pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" good tune for grading polymer chemistry problem sets, which I am doing right now.
	♥ 4:54pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 Always thinkin bout thos silicones
	♥ 4:54pm Barrie_: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Ever since I heard it for the first time some years ago on FMU I still sing it to myself from time to time. Incredible in all ways
	♥ 4:54pm newton: silicone carne
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm Dave G in VT: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" OMG!
	♥ 4:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Robert Zemetrix @4:53 One of those "Great Progress" films companies used to make in the '50s - sometimes writing bizarre music routines and chereography to show off their products.
	4:54pm Robert Zemetrix: They aren't saying "corona resistant"? Lol what's the actual lyric
	♥ 4:54pm Irwin: ↳ Dave G in VT @4:54 It's only half over.
	4:55pm Laura L: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Who could ask for more.
	4:55pm Cosmic: Your friend in all fixes.
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm Deano de los Muertos: I answered “GE Silicones” to ever question on my SATs
	♥ 4:55pm David L.: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" I'm surprised no one's done a weekly hour-long show here dedicated to corporate anthems and promo songs and such. Or perhaps I missed it...? Also, brass section is not slouching...
	4:55pm Roberto: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:54 They referenced dudes walking on the moon collecting rocks, so post-'69.
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm Deano de los Muertos: Even the math section.
	♥ 4:55pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:52 Good, bad or indifferent associations?
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Welcome Interstate Managers
	♥ 4:56pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Robert Zemetrix @4:54 probably is corona (as short for corona discharge), e.g. ieeexplore.ieee.org...
	4:56pm JoeP: Silicone sucks
	4:56pm Robert Zemetrix: "corrosion resistant" i'm assuming?
	4:56pm pmcWhenever: word
	4:56pm Robert Zemetrix: Oh wow, thanks Barney Grubbs
	4:57pm Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" New all time favorite. Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 4:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Barney Grubbs @4:54 Have any of the students invented improvements on silicones yet?
	♥ 4:57pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" This is very informative.
	4:57pm Robert Zemetrix: jeez this song is Forever—guess you just need all the time in the world to sing the praises of silicones
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm Spikey BXL: Show me your silly cones
	♥ 4:57pm PaulRobeson1925: Dual master cylinder > single master cylinder
	♥ 4:58pm coelacanth∅: next question...
	4:58pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "Thelonious Monk" Interesting hearing a big band playing Monk's lines.
	4:58pm JoeP: "When your wife is flat"
	♥ 4:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Roberto @4:55 If after '69, then this definitely would have a sense of irony, a revival of styles from earlier films.
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm Adi From Sheffield: Wow. Exhausted.
	♥ 4:58pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:57 they are some of my least favorite polymers, but people keep trying to make better ones (the students seemingly would prefer to pretend they don't exist).
	♥ 4:59pm Mailman Tom: I use silicone earplugs every night. Very comforting against outside noise!
	4:59pm Roberto: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 I was thinking '50s until I heard that line.
	4:59pm Fredericks: ↳ Barrie_ @4:54 Whatever the problem, the answer's the same.
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Deano de los Muertos: play some Polymeric Spree
	♥ 5:00pm PaulRobeson1925: Imagine driving down the highway and you blow a brake line and loose all stopping power? When did this change? After 55?
	♥ 5:00pm Barrie_: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 Either that or it's tailored to extremely aged district sales managers... no young audience on this one
	♥ 5:00pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:41 Well, there does not seem to be an immediate threat of that. What luck!!
	♥ 5:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Mailman Tom @4:59 They make good ones now, I always at least pack some when staying in a hotel - often times I need them.
	5:00pm Roberto: I looked 'er up. 1973.
	5:00pm Fredericks: ↳ P-90 @4:53 Yeah. I'm hungry and I have a headache.
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Deano de los Muertos: that’s Rex’s line
	♥ 5:01pm Barrie_: ↳ Fredericks @4:59 And now I know the answer is not G-d, it is S-l-c-n
	♥ 5:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Roberto @5:00 Wow - either ironic, or (as per Barrie) supremely lacking in irony!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:41 MST3K was nothing, if not educational.
	♥ 5:03pm rsj: and nothing about the most amazing use
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" if we don't hear that song by the hoof in mouth sinfonia there's gonna be trouble
	♥ 5:04pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" YES! Love your in-house version of it as well! Great Marathon selling point, too.
	5:05pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ Song: "Pirate Jenny" by "Nina Simone" WoooooHoooOOO !!
	5:05pm Cosmic: “Bring me champagne, cocaine and sausages.” -NS ♥️👑
	♥ 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Pirate Jenny" by "Nina Simone" "Pirate Jenny" (German: "Seeräuber-Jenny") written by Brecht & Weill from "The Threepenny Opera", the same satiric cabaret that brought us "Mack The Knife". Nina does probably the best performance of this song.
	5:07pm Cosmic: She probably didn’t say “bring me”. More like “I want…” or “get me…”
	♥ 5:07pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:04 Hmmmm ...
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 Thanks for this, Matt
	♥ 5:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 Hey, Matt, coela.
	5:10pm jan: I’m well familiar with the silicone song but This Pirate Jenny version is new to me- wow!
	♥ 5:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:08 Sure thing! I'd like to see a performance of that (almost century old) musical in its original form sometime.
	♥ 5:10pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard your version, but assuming it was not performed live...(?) is there a recording of it available to the peanut gallery?
	♥ 5:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:09 Hi there, Handy!
	♥ 5:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:09 Hola Handy
	♥ 5:11pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:10 It was performed live and recorded. I'll bring it next week and air it.
	♥ 5:11pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Fredericks @5:00 Hello Mr.Fredericks. Headachs R no fun. I’m curious, what have you had to eat for the last week or so?
	♥ 5:13pm Irwin: The silicones song was written by Hank Beebe & Bill Heyer. There's a whole album, tho nothing else is that over-the-top.
	♥ 5:13pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Love Stone" by "Branford Marsalis" What a great run of albums Branford had during these years. He was at the height of his powers. And the band was hot!
	♥ 5:14pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:55 All good!
	♥ 5:15pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:14 I prefer the earlier stuff.
	♥ 5:15pm Irwin: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:13 Agreed. I discovered these albums belatedly. Some serious stomping. Branford wails, but the whole band has such great momentum.
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:10 It's been replayed a few times on WFMU. Here's one playlist that has it: wfmu.org...
	♥ 5:18pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:16 We rehearsed a few times the week before, and it was sloppy, but we nailed it on the air in one take.
	5:18pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Can't Find My Way Home" by "Yasuko Agawa" Wow.
	♥ 5:18pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:16 Amy Anderson, sorry for blanking on her name. Now Amy Kessler. R.I.P. Michelle Boule.
	5:19pm Fredericks: ↳ Roberto @4:55 Collect stohnes.
	♥ 5:19pm Acid Cazh: Irwin, I just got stoned and I'm sitting in front of my studio-fidelity speaker monitors. Please play us something psychedelic and/or atmospheric.
	♥ 5:20pm Irwin: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:19 Hopefully the next track will do. It's ... um ... atmospheric.
	♥ 5:20pm Acid Cazh: (Mind you! I'm NOT complaining about this, or any other song you've played today — it's all been million dollar prize after million dollar prize.)
	5:20pm Robert Zemetrix: this song is great!
	♥ 5:22pm Woo: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" thank you
	♥ 5:22pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" Eh, it'll do. 🕶️💀
	5:22pm Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:11 Tons of stuff. Quiche last night with a salad. Why do you ask?
	5:22pm Curt - MO: love the Melvins cover of this
	♥ 5:22pm dale: hey now irwin. ellen mcilwaine (sp?) did a great version of can't find my way home too. but you probably already knew that.
	♥ 5:22pm PaulRobeson1925: I love seagulls
	♥ 5:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:22 Just try to also picture me doing the Dance of the Seven Veils to the song. It'll get you to the right space.
	5:24pm Cosmic: Thanks for Pirate Jenny, Irwin! 🙌
	♥ 5:24pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Fredericks @5:22 Just wondering. I want what you want. The good life. And to be hydrated and the foods we eat help
	♥ 5:24pm PaulRobeson1925: The Cucumber. Wonderful plant
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm rrg: ↳ dale @5:22 Also Alison Krauss, and a great instrumental version by guitarist Stephen Bennett,
	5:25pm Mister Dobalina: I think he's gotta get outta here.
	🎸 ♥ 5:25pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" God it's so relatable.
	♥ 5:25pm dale: ↳ rrg @5:24 i thought that version was alison at first, at least the voice.
	5:26pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" A meaningful song when I was 19.
	♥ 5:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @5:11 nice!
	♥ 5:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ rrg @5:16 Thank you!
	♥ 5:27pm Irwin: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @5:26 I never bothered to learn what it was about.
	♥ 5:27pm Woo: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" they are coming to take him away
	5:28pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Irwin @5:27 Seemed to be about losing one's mind... Like Woo said.
	♥ 5:29pm Irwin: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @5:28 But who is Dwight Frye? He was a Hollywood actor, right?
	♥ 5:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" i don't know,Irwin... the ballad of dwight fry without the sun arise is like the moon without ... never mind
	5:30pm Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:24 I am having a cup of coffee currently. Not super- hydrating.
	♥ 5:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Take It with Me" by "Tom Waits" There's the man.
	♥ 5:32pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:31 ...indeed. The man.
	♥ 5:32pm dale: his wiki page references alice cooper's song and stage act. en.wikipedia.org...
	5:33pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Take It with Me" by "Tom Waits" With his accent, it sounded like he sang, "as blue as your ass".
	♥ 5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @5:32 Oh wow! Didn't realize that was a tribute to an actor who used to played insane villains in the old days of horror movies.
	♥ 5:36pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:22 135mm lens is better for capturing photos of seagulls than a 300. Why won’t they let me hold them! Come here! Where do you sleep at night Mr.Seagull! Let me hold you
	♥ 5:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Trees" by "Suddenly, Tammy!" RIP Jay... 🌟
	♥ 5:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin and other late-comers.
	5:40pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Irwin @5:29 I searched... Dwight Frye: A film actor who died in 1943. Best known for playing "neurotic, murderous villains." (Wikipedia)
	♥ 5:43pm PaulRobeson1925: Gus faces the mouuusic
	♥ 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gus Faces the Music" by "Gus Bodenheim" Like a drunk old "Kearney"! "Hey, SHE came on to ME!" 😂
	♥ 5:44pm coelacanth∅: for a moment i thought Gus was putting this to the tune of "whiter shade of pale"... (which he is - sort of)... but his lyrics make a lot more sense than the procol harum song.
	♥ 5:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gus Faces the Music" by "Gus Bodenheim" Reminds me of William Shatner's spoken tune "That's Me Tryin'".
	♥ 5:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:43 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, she seduced me! You can always trust a murderer for a fancy prose style, which makes me worry about Gus.
	🎸 ♥ 5:44pm Deano de los Muertos: Wow, Gus. Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Martin of the Berkshires: I like the sound of Gus taking a swig off an ice cube-filled glass of bourbon and then the gaseous exhale.
	♥ 5:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:44 To tune of J.S. Bach's "Air on a G String" 😉 PH ripped it off first!
	♥ 5:45pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Gus Faces the Music" by "Gus Bodenheim" That was poetry.
	5:45pm ?: Have you heard Shilpa Ray's version of Pirate Jenny? With Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, MENTAL!
	5:46pm Adi From Sheffield: Off the boards as I head to bed (listening to the end though) as I try and scrub the mental imagery Gus conjured from my mind.
	♥ 5:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:44 To say nothing of Robert Terwilliger's thespian prose and sharp dress..
	5:47pm hectic: well that was an interesting anecdote from gus. i seem to have this problem when i'm listening to gus that no matter how hard i pay attention, i'm somehow not listening to him. then all of a sudden something catches my ear and i go WHAT IS GUS TALKING ABOUT???
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Spikey BXL: Thanks Irwin. Night night Ade
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:44 My wife asked ME to marry HER..can you believe that!?
	♥ 5:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:45 oh yes, right! ...so they stole the melody and put shitty lyrics to it! ...and had a big hit!
	♥ 5:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:47 (but we know Gus used it because of the procol harum song, and it's stupid lyrics)
	♥ 5:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:47 frinkiac.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ hectic @5:47 I’ve been there
	♥ 5:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:47 I love their performance/delivery of the song - but the lyrics are half-baked (or fully baked...), with a "Miller's Tale" line to seem more clever. But as the "slow dance" song at school dances, or getting baked in a friend's basement, it sufficed.
	5:52pm Cosmic: G eni US
	♥ 5:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:49 Oh REALLY, Cousin Merle!!! 😡
	♥ 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:49 Aw, poor smell hound.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:48 It's not "Whiter Shade of Pale", it's "You Were Always on My Mind".
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:51 it's a Beautiful song! (of course...it's Bach!) -that's why it was/is so popular. imagine if they'd put those pretend-surreal silliness words to anything half as beautiful? they'd have been laughed right off the moon! (but they do have several other really Great songs)
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: gotta go, Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 5:55pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ rrg @5:54 “That’s not my rectum”
	5:55pm Cosmic: What a great show. Thanks Irwin. I’m heading home happy, no cigar with this painting, but tired, and happy.
	♥ 5:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "He Ain't No Angel" by "The Ad Libs" Bayonne NJ's OWN!! Evidently this was their follow up single in '65 to their biggest hit "The Boy from New York City". Another one "Nothing Worse Than Being Alone" from '69 is on one of my Northern Soul comps - good danceable 'obscure' soul they liked to dance to in Britain.
	5:57pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin!
	♥ 5:57pm Acid Cazh: Thanks for another incredible-as-always show Irwin!
	5:57pm KWilde: !!!
	♥ 5:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:55 PH does have a vast and interesting catalog to explore.
	5:57pm Cosmic: I thought it was you were always on my mind.
	♥ 5:57pm Matt from Springfield: All right! THANKS for an excellent show, Irwin! Have a good evening, Irwinians!
	♥ 5:57pm Bklyn_Dutch: Thanks, Irwin!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm rrg: ↳ Laura L @5:57 I concur with that sentiment.
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Irwin!!
	♥ 5:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Irwin!

	♥ 3:09pm Hughie Considine: Irwin, last week you said something to the effect of, if you come across any album by McCoy Tyner, grab it. I came across "Supertrios" the other day for a mere 6 bucks and did grab it. And am happy I did.
	♥ 3:09pm newton: ↳ Irwin @3:02 I thought it was englebert
	♥ 3:09pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Irwin @3:02 Incredible I thought he was some kind of De-moustachioed Butt Reynolds

	♥ 3:12pm Bucky: I wonder which weekly DJ comment section uses the most punctuation and whether it corelates to that show's typical demographic.
	♥ 3:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Unpleasant Noise Public Service Announcement"... Pontypool changes everything.
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm Martin of the Berkshires: The lead singer of Squid has a very distinctive voice
	♥ 3:14pm mndave: ↳ Martin of the Berkshires @3:13 He reminded me of Ted Leo in the first verse but agree, definitely unique
	♥ 3:14pm Irwin: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:12 Needs to be my weekly opening theme.
	3:14pm Carmichael: ↳ NotARealDoctor @3:09 These kids today ... <smh>
	♥ 3:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Irwin @3:14 Maybe it's not too late to get on the Swag CD.
	♥ 3:15pm 12539: Irwin!
	♥ 3:20pm Irwin: ↳ Bob Tankenstein @3:11 The JP are big Geo Colligan fans.
	♥ 3:25pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Irwin @3:20 I was afraid it might not be spaced out enough for them. Maybe I should apply for JP Academy.
	♥ 3:27pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Nimm mein Auto und dann fahr" by "Klaus Beyer" Somewhere I have a 3" CD single of Klaus Beyer doing Beatles songs, which I somehow found in a store in college!
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Morphology" by "Curtis Hasselbring" You want to be really careful with that CurHa pronounciation if you're near Polish people
	♥ 3:33pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Is There a Bodenheim?" by "Gus Bodenheim" Yes, Gus, there IS a Virginia!!! I remember this fondly. HI Irwin and Chusidors and Bodensprites!

	♥ 3:34pm Matt from Springfield: Romeo Void 🤘
	♥ 3:35pm NotARealDoctor: We believe. Bodenheim lives. 🙏
	3:35pm Carmichael: Gus, like Elvis, is everywhere.
	♥ 3:37pm Bob Tankenstein: Bodenheim is still real to me dammit
	3:37pm Fredericks: ↳ Irwin @9:58 "Under Eva’s watch, the reading list expanded its meditation on slavery as the central paradox of the Founding. Frederick Douglass’s speeches were installed on the reading list, alongside The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois—then much less known than now. The latter addition was accompanied by a Friday night lecture by Lucius Outlaw, a scholar of Du Bois."
	♥ 3:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Is There a Bodenheim?" by "Gus Bodenheim" I'm surprised Gus hasn't done more insurance ads, considering his flim-flamming.
	♥ 3:38pm Jim the Poet: Gus is immortal?
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Jim the Poet @3:38 There can only be one.
	♥ 3:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dim Sum" by "Chinese American Bear" Pre-Starred! Yummy dim sum song with those Beach Boys 'sleigh bells-on-the-beach'.

	3:43pm Fredericks: "Measure twice, cut once, or just set your shop on fire."
	3:49pm Mister Dobalina: gosh darn it! Missed the first installment of the Gus B shenanigans.
	3:49pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "Koko Plays Pool" by "Samm Bennett" I remember an old cartoon called Out of the Inkwell with Koko The Clown
	♥ 3:50pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @3:49 This was Samm's soundtrack for that silent cartoon.
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm rrg: ↳ Carmichael @3:49 Not a single cartoon, it was a long-running series of cartoons by Max Fleischer, in the silent era.
	♥ 3:51pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @3:50 Yes, Samm recorded new soundtracks for seven from the Koko series.
	♥ 3:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:50 Nice. That would explain it. It sounds kind of nutty, but some of these segments are magnificent.
	3:52pm Carmichael: ↳ rrg @3:50 Oh, I mean a TV show
	3:52pm Cosmic: Great time to catch up on the chat. I’ve spent ages cutting difficult angles with a hand saw, then noticed a jigsaw. Chai and chat. Evening Irwin, greetings all.
	3:53pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @3:52 A color TV show, from the 60s most likely.
	♥ 3:54pm newton: ↳ Cosmic @3:52 you do dovetails on a jigsaw?
	♥ 3:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "It's Bad for Me" by "Jeri Southern" I admit it. First heard this by the Roches.
	3:57pm Cosmic: Not joinery, Newton, I’m cutting some 3d elements for a painting. Just shapes.
	3:57pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Grandpa Rock City" by "Drive-By Truckers" Chew those Rs!
	♥ 3:57pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "Grandpa Rock City" by "Drive-By Truckers" If grandpa was a rock star in the 70s, it's been a quick trip to the old folks home. Poor dude.
	♥ 3:58pm newton: ↳ Cosmic @3:57 cool
	🎸 ♥ 3:59pm rrg: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 All the original "Out of the Inkwell" cartoons were B&W.
	3:59pm ?: ↳ Song: "Grandpa Rock City" by "Drive-By Truckers" Medicare.
	♥ 4:04pm Irwin: ↳ mrdonutsu @3:57 Life on the road entails a lot of wear 'n' tear.
	4:04pm Cosmic: I’m loving the visuals these various sounds are lending me.
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Cosmic @4:04 I just finished a page and uploaded while listening. www.instagram.com...
	♥ 4:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Cosmic @4:04 You, and Adi, and many others over the years! Love it when people create art to the sounds of WFMU.
	4:07pm Fredericks: This is hot hot.
	4:08pm Cosmic: It is a cool thing to be doing, Newton. 🙏 it was due a few days ago so tonight is the dance.
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:05 Betsy love. How do Adi
	4:09pm ben & Reba: Thanks Irwin, from butler PA, for the shining rhythm sections.
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:06 WFMU is an astonishing gift for drawing stuff. Other radio doesn't take you anywhere as exciting/frightening/etc 😀
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:08 How do Spikey! 👍
	4:10pm βrian: Is that guy wearing a chest merkin?
	4:11pm Cosmic: Abi that’s great 😁
	♥ 4:13pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Keep On Lying" by "Tame Impala" Pre-Starred! The cut-in probably comes from its original album sequencing - or, just their style for this recording.
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Adi From Sheffield: I'm not exhaustive on their canon but I never met a Tame Impala song I didn't like.
	4:13pm Cosmic: Yes I agree! WFMU has been my companion through so many pieces. I couldn’t say how many. Over 20 years worth.
	🎸 ♥ 4:15pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Cosmic @4:13 I'm only a couple of years in but my evening drawing sessions are exclusively WFMU powered. It does mean I get to bed later than I should though 😀
	4:15pm Cosmic: That was to Abi, and Matt
	4:16pm Cosmic: That’s not a mistake, sometimes I do my d’s backwards
	♥ 4:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Cosmic @4:16 dackwarbs letters, d's, AND b's!
	4:19pm Cosmic: So good that you’ve found this place early on then! :) Your drawings are great, it’s clear to see you enjoy doing them.
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Cosmic @4:16 I got so good at doing it with i's and o's nobody every mentions it anymore
	4:21pm Cosmic: It’s good to mix letters up. And everything else, as Brian Eno would suggest.
	♥ 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bum Leg" by "Cake Like" LIKE Kerri Kenney's CAKE LIKE!! 🤘🎂
	4:26pm Roberto: A Juilo le gusta mirarte cagar.
	♥ 4:26pm egould: ↳ Song: "Thru the Flowers" by "The Primitives" I love the Primitives and their jangly guitars!
	4:26pm Kramer: ↳ Song: "Thru the Flowers" by "The Primitives" A little pop loveliness
	♥ 4:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:26 I as well! I also love The Bangles, and their jangles, and the fact that they are Bangles with jangles.
	♥ 4:29pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:27 Bangle jangle is sonic tonic.
	♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:29 👍🤘🎸🍸
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Cosmic @4:19 Thank you. I do. I have good fun with those characters. I think everyone has a world in them 😁
	♥ 4:33pm Jim the Poet: C H A O S
	4:34pm Mister Dobalina: A good time to visit the archives. Relive the past.
	♥ 4:34pm PaulRobeson1925: Restroom is compulsory. Listening is not
	♥ 4:34pm Jim the Poet: Uh oh I screwed up my taxes
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm Deano de los Muertos: I hope you get the help you need, Irwin.
	4:35pm Mister Dobalina: I recently sold some FMU swag on eBay. Got snatched up kinda quick.
	♥ 4:35pm Jim the Poet: I hope I get the help Irwin needs
	4:36pm Roberto: Black, tarry stools for Julio to enjoy!
	♥ 4:36pm PaulRobeson1925: The itching resonates
	♥ 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: I'm joining the class action suit against Seven Second Delay, it's given me and many others a severe case of Compulsive Eye-Rolling (CER).
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: what's Irwin talking about, the potential side-effects of "anti-depressants"?
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm Martin of the Berkshires: tar-ry stool
	♥ 4:37pm C!: I can’t wait!!!
	♥ 4:37pm Hughie Considine: Tarry, tarry night/ Paint your toilet blue and gray ...
	♥ 4:37pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:36 Uncontrolled happiness? Unstoppable elation?
	♥ 4:38pm Matt from Springfield: And is that true! We really don't need to subtract swag and prizes from our deductions! That would be sweet! At $8 per item, I guessimate the stuff I received and write in the lower deduction to be on the safe side.
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Martin of the Berkshires: I have never declared T-shirts or other said swag
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Dave G in VT: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "Thelonious Monk" Monk with a big band is a new experience for me. I'm not surprised though. Monk is always great, and this is no exception.
	♥ 4:41pm Matt from Springfield: "Tarry stools" - that's an obscure ref I only know because of an old MST3K joke explained on forums. They were checking Reagan for cancer because of "dark, tarry stools". So later Joel shows his invention of a zebra-skin footstool - "It's a Daktari stool!"
	♥ 4:44pm The Oscar: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:41 It took me years to figure that one out as well!
	♥ 4:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Hughie Considine @4:37 Quality line, in the tradition of Andy B.!
	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @4:37 black, tarry stools, pain and swelling and painful urination i can handle; but uncontrolled happiness would drive me nuts!
	♥ 4:46pm David L.: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "Thelonious Monk" While in middle school, the library in my hometown of Traverse City, MI had a surprisingly expansive collection of CDs. I, along with another friend of mine who had also decided to dispense with any aspirations of popularity and instead lean into jazz, would regularly borrow the limit, and we'd convene in the band room after school to blast our hauls on the stereo and jam out. This record was one of the ones we found, a particular hit. Funny how much of it is still lodged in my mind, 30+ years later. That inverted counterpoint on the last chorus blew our little pre-teen minds back then, sounds just as godly these days.
	♥ 4:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @4:44 The Annotated Guides are helpful, explaining sometimes distant pop culture refs from my Dad's generation that the show made in its original run. (Though I'm impressed at how many of those I get even without the Guides!)
	♥ 4:47pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Shanghai Noodle Factory" by "Traffic" Takes me back to the tenth grade - chripes!
	♥ 4:47pm San Pedro Girl: Hello Irwin, Irwinistas et al
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Martin of the Berkshires @4:40 i wouldn't either, if i was to deduct my wfmu donations, which i don't.
	♥ 4:48pm Matt from Springfield: Hola, Irwinista San Pedro Menina!
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Martin of the Berkshires: the unmistakable Broderick Crawford
	♥ 4:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:47 Hi SPG!
	♥ 4:52pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Shanghai Noodle Factory" by "Traffic" Hiya Franco! I got into Traffic early, and all this time later, am still in the jam.
	♥ 4:52pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Corona resistant?!
	♥ 4:52pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" One of the greatest songs of all time
	4:53pm Robert Zemetrix: where the hell is THIS from lol
	♥ 4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" THE O.G.!!!! 🤘 Irwin and others performed this - and now we can't not hear "corona resistant"!
	4:53pm P-90: When I have a problem I ALWAYS “think silicones”
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" FYI: you do not have to wait until you have a question or a problem to think Silicone.
	♥ 4:54pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" good tune for grading polymer chemistry problem sets, which I am doing right now.
	♥ 4:54pm Bob Tankenstein: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 Always thinkin bout thos silicones
	♥ 4:54pm Barrie_: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Ever since I heard it for the first time some years ago on FMU I still sing it to myself from time to time. Incredible in all ways
	♥ 4:54pm newton: silicone carne
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm Dave G in VT: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" OMG!
	♥ 4:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Robert Zemetrix @4:53 One of those "Great Progress" films companies used to make in the '50s - sometimes writing bizarre music routines and chereography to show off their products.
	4:54pm Robert Zemetrix: They aren't saying "corona resistant"? Lol what's the actual lyric
	♥ 4:54pm Irwin: ↳ Dave G in VT @4:54 It's only half over.
	4:55pm Laura L: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Who could ask for more.
	4:55pm Cosmic: Your friend in all fixes.
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm Deano de los Muertos: I answered “GE Silicones” to ever question on my SATs
	♥ 4:55pm David L.: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" I'm surprised no one's done a weekly hour-long show here dedicated to corporate anthems and promo songs and such. Or perhaps I missed it...? Also, brass section is not slouching...
	4:55pm Roberto: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:54 They referenced dudes walking on the moon collecting rocks, so post-'69.
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm Deano de los Muertos: Even the math section.
	♥ 4:55pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:52 Good, bad or indifferent associations?
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" Welcome Interstate Managers
	♥ 4:56pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Robert Zemetrix @4:54 probably is corona (as short for corona discharge), e.g. ieeexplore.ieee.org...
	4:56pm JoeP: Silicone sucks
	4:56pm Robert Zemetrix: "corrosion resistant" i'm assuming?
	4:56pm pmcWhenever: word
	4:56pm Robert Zemetrix: Oh wow, thanks Barney Grubbs
	4:57pm Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" New all time favorite. Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 4:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Barney Grubbs @4:54 Have any of the students invented improvements on silicones yet?
	♥ 4:57pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" This is very informative.
	4:57pm Robert Zemetrix: jeez this song is Forever—guess you just need all the time in the world to sing the praises of silicones
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm Spikey BXL: Show me your silly cones
	♥ 4:57pm PaulRobeson1925: Dual master cylinder > single master cylinder
	♥ 4:58pm coelacanth∅: next question...
	4:58pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "Thelonious Monk" Interesting hearing a big band playing Monk's lines.
	4:58pm JoeP: "When your wife is flat"
	♥ 4:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Roberto @4:55 If after '69, then this definitely would have a sense of irony, a revival of styles from earlier films.
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm Adi From Sheffield: Wow. Exhausted.
	♥ 4:58pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:57 they are some of my least favorite polymers, but people keep trying to make better ones (the students seemingly would prefer to pretend they don't exist).
	♥ 4:59pm Mailman Tom: I use silicone earplugs every night. Very comforting against outside noise!
	4:59pm Roberto: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 I was thinking '50s until I heard that line.
	4:59pm Fredericks: ↳ Barrie_ @4:54 Whatever the problem, the answer's the same.
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Deano de los Muertos: play some Polymeric Spree
	♥ 5:00pm PaulRobeson1925: Imagine driving down the highway and you blow a brake line and loose all stopping power? When did this change? After 55?
	♥ 5:00pm Barrie_: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 Either that or it's tailored to extremely aged district sales managers... no young audience on this one
	♥ 5:00pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:41 Well, there does not seem to be an immediate threat of that. What luck!!
	♥ 5:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Mailman Tom @4:59 They make good ones now, I always at least pack some when staying in a hotel - often times I need them.
	5:00pm Roberto: I looked 'er up. 1973.
	5:00pm Fredericks: ↳ P-90 @4:53 Yeah. I'm hungry and I have a headache.
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Deano de los Muertos: that’s Rex’s line
	♥ 5:01pm Barrie_: ↳ Fredericks @4:59 And now I know the answer is not G-d, it is S-l-c-n
	♥ 5:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Roberto @5:00 Wow - either ironic, or (as per Barrie) supremely lacking in irony!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:41 MST3K was nothing, if not educational.
	♥ 5:03pm rsj: and nothing about the most amazing use
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" if we don't hear that song by the hoof in mouth sinfonia there's gonna be trouble
	♥ 5:04pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Answer" by "GE Silicones" YES! Love your in-house version of it as well! Great Marathon selling point, too.
	5:05pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ Song: "Pirate Jenny" by "Nina Simone" WoooooHoooOOO !!
	5:05pm Cosmic: “Bring me champagne, cocaine and sausages.” -NS ♥️👑
	♥ 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Pirate Jenny" by "Nina Simone" "Pirate Jenny" (German: "Seeräuber-Jenny") written by Brecht & Weill from "The Threepenny Opera", the same satiric cabaret that brought us "Mack The Knife". Nina does probably the best performance of this song.
	5:07pm Cosmic: She probably didn’t say “bring me”. More like “I want…” or “get me…”
	♥ 5:07pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:04 Hmmmm ...
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 Thanks for this, Matt
	♥ 5:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 Hey, Matt, coela.
	5:10pm jan: I’m well familiar with the silicone song but This Pirate Jenny version is new to me- wow!
	♥ 5:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:08 Sure thing! I'd like to see a performance of that (almost century old) musical in its original form sometime.
	♥ 5:10pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard your version, but assuming it was not performed live...(?) is there a recording of it available to the peanut gallery?
	♥ 5:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:09 Hi there, Handy!
	♥ 5:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:09 Hola Handy
	♥ 5:11pm Irwin: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:10 It was performed live and recorded. I'll bring it next week and air it.
	♥ 5:11pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Fredericks @5:00 Hello Mr.Fredericks. Headachs R no fun. I’m curious, what have you had to eat for the last week or so?
	♥ 5:13pm Irwin: The silicones song was written by Hank Beebe & Bill Heyer. There's a whole album, tho nothing else is that over-the-top.
	♥ 5:13pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Love Stone" by "Branford Marsalis" What a great run of albums Branford had during these years. He was at the height of his powers. And the band was hot!
	♥ 5:14pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:55 All good!
	♥ 5:15pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:14 I prefer the earlier stuff.
	♥ 5:15pm Irwin: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @5:13 Agreed. I discovered these albums belatedly. Some serious stomping. Branford wails, but the whole band has such great momentum.
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:10 It's been replayed a few times on WFMU. Here's one playlist that has it: wfmu.org...
	♥ 5:18pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:16 We rehearsed a few times the week before, and it was sloppy, but we nailed it on the air in one take.
	5:18pm Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Can't Find My Way Home" by "Yasuko Agawa" Wow.
	♥ 5:18pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:16 Amy Anderson, sorry for blanking on her name. Now Amy Kessler. R.I.P. Michelle Boule.
	5:19pm Fredericks: ↳ Roberto @4:55 Collect stohnes.
	♥ 5:19pm Acid Cazh: Irwin, I just got stoned and I'm sitting in front of my studio-fidelity speaker monitors. Please play us something psychedelic and/or atmospheric.
	♥ 5:20pm Irwin: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:19 Hopefully the next track will do. It's ... um ... atmospheric.
	♥ 5:20pm Acid Cazh: (Mind you! I'm NOT complaining about this, or any other song you've played today — it's all been million dollar prize after million dollar prize.)
	5:20pm Robert Zemetrix: this song is great!
	♥ 5:22pm Woo: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" thank you
	♥ 5:22pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" Eh, it'll do. 🕶️💀
	5:22pm Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:11 Tons of stuff. Quiche last night with a salad. Why do you ask?
	5:22pm Curt - MO: love the Melvins cover of this
	♥ 5:22pm dale: hey now irwin. ellen mcilwaine (sp?) did a great version of can't find my way home too. but you probably already knew that.
	♥ 5:22pm PaulRobeson1925: I love seagulls
	♥ 5:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:22 Just try to also picture me doing the Dance of the Seven Veils to the song. It'll get you to the right space.
	5:24pm Cosmic: Thanks for Pirate Jenny, Irwin! 🙌
	♥ 5:24pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Fredericks @5:22 Just wondering. I want what you want. The good life. And to be hydrated and the foods we eat help
	♥ 5:24pm PaulRobeson1925: The Cucumber. Wonderful plant
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm rrg: ↳ dale @5:22 Also Alison Krauss, and a great instrumental version by guitarist Stephen Bennett,
	5:25pm Mister Dobalina: I think he's gotta get outta here.
	🎸 ♥ 5:25pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" God it's so relatable.
	♥ 5:25pm dale: ↳ rrg @5:24 i thought that version was alison at first, at least the voice.
	5:26pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" A meaningful song when I was 19.
	♥ 5:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irwin @5:11 nice!
	♥ 5:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ rrg @5:16 Thank you!
	♥ 5:27pm Irwin: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @5:26 I never bothered to learn what it was about.
	♥ 5:27pm Woo: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" they are coming to take him away
	5:28pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Irwin @5:27 Seemed to be about losing one's mind... Like Woo said.
	♥ 5:29pm Irwin: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @5:28 But who is Dwight Frye? He was a Hollywood actor, right?
	♥ 5:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" by "Alice Cooper" i don't know,Irwin... the ballad of dwight fry without the sun arise is like the moon without ... never mind
	5:30pm Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:24 I am having a cup of coffee currently. Not super- hydrating.
	♥ 5:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Take It with Me" by "Tom Waits" There's the man.
	♥ 5:32pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:31 ...indeed. The man.
	♥ 5:32pm dale: his wiki page references alice cooper's song and stage act. en.wikipedia.org...
	5:33pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Take It with Me" by "Tom Waits" With his accent, it sounded like he sang, "as blue as your ass".
	♥ 5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @5:32 Oh wow! Didn't realize that was a tribute to an actor who used to played insane villains in the old days of horror movies.
	♥ 5:36pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @5:22 135mm lens is better for capturing photos of seagulls than a 300. Why won’t they let me hold them! Come here! Where do you sleep at night Mr.Seagull! Let me hold you
	♥ 5:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Trees" by "Suddenly, Tammy!" RIP Jay... 🌟
	♥ 5:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin and other late-comers.
	5:40pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Irwin @5:29 I searched... Dwight Frye: A film actor who died in 1943. Best known for playing "neurotic, murderous villains." (Wikipedia)
	♥ 5:43pm PaulRobeson1925: Gus faces the mouuusic
	♥ 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gus Faces the Music" by "Gus Bodenheim" Like a drunk old "Kearney"! "Hey, SHE came on to ME!" 😂
	♥ 5:44pm coelacanth∅: for a moment i thought Gus was putting this to the tune of "whiter shade of pale"... (which he is - sort of)... but his lyrics make a lot more sense than the procol harum song.
	♥ 5:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gus Faces the Music" by "Gus Bodenheim" Reminds me of William Shatner's spoken tune "That's Me Tryin'".
	♥ 5:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:43 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, she seduced me! You can always trust a murderer for a fancy prose style, which makes me worry about Gus.
	🎸 ♥ 5:44pm Deano de los Muertos: Wow, Gus. Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Martin of the Berkshires: I like the sound of Gus taking a swig off an ice cube-filled glass of bourbon and then the gaseous exhale.
	♥ 5:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:44 To tune of J.S. Bach's "Air on a G String" 😉 PH ripped it off first!
	♥ 5:45pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Gus Faces the Music" by "Gus Bodenheim" That was poetry.
	5:45pm ?: Have you heard Shilpa Ray's version of Pirate Jenny? With Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, MENTAL!
	5:46pm Adi From Sheffield: Off the boards as I head to bed (listening to the end though) as I try and scrub the mental imagery Gus conjured from my mind.
	♥ 5:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:44 To say nothing of Robert Terwilliger's thespian prose and sharp dress..
	5:47pm hectic: well that was an interesting anecdote from gus. i seem to have this problem when i'm listening to gus that no matter how hard i pay attention, i'm somehow not listening to him. then all of a sudden something catches my ear and i go WHAT IS GUS TALKING ABOUT???
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Spikey BXL: Thanks Irwin. Night night Ade
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:44 My wife asked ME to marry HER..can you believe that!?
	♥ 5:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:45 oh yes, right! ...so they stole the melody and put shitty lyrics to it! ...and had a big hit!
	♥ 5:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:47 (but we know Gus used it because of the procol harum song, and it's stupid lyrics)
	♥ 5:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:47 frinkiac.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ hectic @5:47 I’ve been there
	♥ 5:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:47 I love their performance/delivery of the song - but the lyrics are half-baked (or fully baked...), with a "Miller's Tale" line to seem more clever. But as the "slow dance" song at school dances, or getting baked in a friend's basement, it sufficed.
	5:52pm Cosmic: G eni US
	♥ 5:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:49 Oh REALLY, Cousin Merle!!! 😡
	♥ 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:49 Aw, poor smell hound.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:48 It's not "Whiter Shade of Pale", it's "You Were Always on My Mind".
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:51 it's a Beautiful song! (of course...it's Bach!) -that's why it was/is so popular. imagine if they'd put those pretend-surreal silliness words to anything half as beautiful? they'd have been laughed right off the moon! (but they do have several other really Great songs)
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: gotta go, Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 5:55pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ rrg @5:54 “That’s not my rectum”
	5:55pm Cosmic: What a great show. Thanks Irwin. I’m heading home happy, no cigar with this painting, but tired, and happy.
	♥ 5:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "He Ain't No Angel" by "The Ad Libs" Bayonne NJ's OWN!! Evidently this was their follow up single in '65 to their biggest hit "The Boy from New York City". Another one "Nothing Worse Than Being Alone" from '69 is on one of my Northern Soul comps - good danceable 'obscure' soul they liked to dance to in Britain.
	5:57pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin!
	♥ 5:57pm Acid Cazh: Thanks for another incredible-as-always show Irwin!
	5:57pm KWilde: !!!
	♥ 5:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:55 PH does have a vast and interesting catalog to explore.
	5:57pm Cosmic: I thought it was you were always on my mind.
	♥ 5:57pm Matt from Springfield: All right! THANKS for an excellent show, Irwin! Have a good evening, Irwinians!
	♥ 5:57pm Bklyn_Dutch: Thanks, Irwin!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm rrg: ↳ Laura L @5:57 I concur with that sentiment.
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Irwin!!
	♥ 5:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Irwin!
