Listener comments!

  3:01pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

is that lizard wearing a condom?
  3:02pm
Robert:

I thought it was a sock, like for if its tail got cold.
  3:05pm
Irwin:

playlist photo: regretsy (thanks to kittne)
  3:06pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Sam Prekop strikes again--nice
  3:07pm
Bad Ronald:

Of course it's a condom, look at the "flower".
  3:09pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

flowers are hot
  3:10pm
The Virgin Kid:

What's a condom?
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

Amanda already! Nice segue from the last track, I didn't suspect it was The Power Child at first.
  3:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Was that Martin in the dialogue at the end?
  3:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Ronald: But notice, the flower is about the same color as the tail. The direction of the flower wouldn't imply that it's part of the tail, but it still could be that; spreading out of or else oozing into the "sock"
  3:18pm
Matt from Springfield:

Not to mention: the lizard's tongue is sticking into the earth, which the flower grows out of, and then they both touch together. Connectedness any way you see it. This art history lecture was sponsored by the Ford Foundation.
  3:18pm
Bad Ronald:

Thank you. Now I am intrigued...
  3:19pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

man I wish I could go back to college for art lessons. I just saw a condom.
  3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: It's not your fault, it's our evolution. As Melaine Safka explained: "A thing is a phallic symbol if it's longer than it's wide."
  3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

I'm glad Jessica's coming back today!
  3:24pm
Bad Ronald:

Upon further inspection, the "flower" may be the lizard's forked tongue coming back out of the earth via a leafy vine...
  3:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

There you go, Bad Ronald! I also just noticed that the earth is only cracked along the path from the tongue to the flower; tunneling through...
  3:30pm
Mike East:

Viva Voce! I played a show with these folks in DC years ago! Lovely couple of people..put on a good show.
  3:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

Trippy...
  3:45pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

best BS song ever
  3:47pm
Buffalo from Springfield!!:

I must say, even by only 3:45 this show is excellent today. Thanks for the BS.
  3:50pm
jan:

you have got an ethereal program going on today- 'cept for Amanda.
Nice!
  4:01pm
Laura L:

I missed the BS on account of BS--that curly corded instrument on my desk ringing again! A phone meeting--on a Wednesday! The nerve!
  4:02pm
Playlist Pic:

Is that the rarely sighted condom dragon on the left?
  4:09pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

these Free Design tunes are impeccable
  4:10pm
jan:

Too bad that Amanda didn't cover any free design songs.
  4:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yes, but the lizard's very productive, shedding it's tail skin several times a day, supplying the world's hygene companies.

@Laura: sorry you missed the Buffalo S. -- meeting, confering and curly-corded intrusions, just like me yesterday! But listen to the Archive, "Expecting To Fly" is incredible.
  4:11pm
poodleman:

Kinda digging The Free Design. Reminds me of this: http://www.wfmu.org/365/2003/074.shtml
  4:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Can't believe these were meant to be played and not listened to--a Carpenters-like vibe for Middle America, or a hippie on enough 'ludes.
  4:14pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

works on both levels, see, it's insidious
  4:14pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

the best pop music always is
  4:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

You're right DCE. Like "Bubbles", even has a melancholy tone to go with the "bubblegum" sound. And these really lovely harmonies here.
  4:18pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

oh here's a link to more paintings by this person (friend of yours, Irwin?)
http://www.etsy.com/shop/valevortex
  4:19pm
poodleman:

Yeah this is a nice balance: too square for the hippies, too trippy for the Andy Williams show
  4:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

Amen, poodleman!
  4:33pm
thelma:

This makes me think of the Fugs "This is a Hit Song" on Be Free. "This is a hit song gonna make me rich. Why don't you buy it, you son of a bitch/"
  4:39pm
Laura L:

That last one was Portisheadish.
  4:42pm
Mike East:

Great show today, Irwin. Thoroughly enjoyable.
  4:43pm
Matt from Springfield:

Is "The Now Sound Redesigned" available for sale anywhere?
  4:43pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

only through this exclusive television offer--call now! operators are standing by
  4:48pm
paul:

terribly sad news, i love the free design.
  4:49pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hmm, I could go to outlets or Amazon and get a used copy, but what do I get if I call in the next 10 minutes?
  4:51pm
ginger tim:

You can find a new copy of "The Now Sound Redesigned" at Amazon for 0.50 + shipping - time to snap it up!
  4:53pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

but if you call our operators NOW we'll throw in a handy chamois cloth that absorbs up to 3 gallons of liquids BUT WAIT there's more!
  4:54pm
Matt from Springfield:

Even MORE??!! Do you take CODs, or is this after the 80s?
  4:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

My typical query during Amanda time: does anyone know what song is in the background of "Lurch"?
  5:02pm
Bad Ronald:

Marsha Gee:

  5:08pm
Splunge:

My, Jessica has the sexiest voice EVER.

I feel bad that I punctured that eardrum with my Slurpee straw during the Amanda song,
  5:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

I almost forgot about "There's No Time To Count To Infinity"! That's one of my favorites of yours, Jessica! I guess because it's like an arty short subject film.
  5:29pm
Oreck:

Hear that loud hum? It's me 'n Irwin, keeping WFMU beautiful.
  5:36pm
poodleman:

Well, I'm not rich BECAUSE I'm smart...right?
  5:41pm
Spellcheck:

I don't deign to service ASCII-only message boxes. I don't do windows, either. I have been known to vacuum, if forced.
  5:43pm
Numeric keypad to your right:

ASCII only? 076 079 076 033
  5:44pm
poodleman:

I live in a vacuum. And so do you, if you're really who you say you are, "Spellcheck".
  5:45pm
Nature:

I abhor this.
  5:48pm
Bad Ronald:

I'm still trying to figure out why an autoerotic lizard needs protection.
  5:50pm
douglas:

cuz mother nature's a whore
  5:51pm
Lizard:

Autroerotic? Speak for yourself, bub.
  5:51pm
Gecko:

At least I can last 15 minutes.
  5:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

Extemely high quality show today Irwin! Now I'm going off to make an acclaimed indie film in order to incorporate this Taken by Trees song into an indie film soundtrack.
  5:52pm
zach braff:

not if i beat you to it matt!!
  5:54pm
Matt from Springfield:

Zach? Rats! I forgot this website and server are in NJ, which you own for indie film purposes! I'll try to find somewhere in VA or MD no one's spotted yet.
  5:55pm
lizard's friend:

ever since lizard saw that HIV video with magic johnson and arsenio hall he doesn't leave the house without his rub on
  5:57pm
poodleman:

Happy to know lizard's safe. No thanks to you, Mother Nature!
  6:00pm
Numeric keypad to your right:

rrg:

Marsha (not Marcia) Gee, I think.
  9:31pm
Irwin:

Marsha retagged
  12:14am
Jim B:

Irwin, I seem to remember you ribbing Gaylord for playing "Kites Are Fun" way back when he was a newbie, unless it's the Alzheimer's plaques scrambling the synapses.
  12:24am
Irwin:

That was last century, Jim, when Gaylord and I were wee lads. It was a schoolyard squabble.
  1:43am
Jim B:

Yeah, the damn 21st century is old already.
