  3:07pm

Oh my. I have my volume on low, and I thought at first this was Optagonally Yours.
  3:07pm
Jim from Pere Lachaise:

If only I'd done it this well...

  3:08pm
hank:

  3:09pm
Jim from Pere Lachaise:

New title:

(Come on, Baby) Hurt my Ears
  3:10pm
Jandek:

A little too pretty sounding.
  3:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

@yair: You're a man, and a non-spy? Nuts! Attractive female spies are such a good thing for America--I was hoping you were one of those!
  3:11pm
ach ach ach:

Now iss der fire gershnuffed und kaput. Ich bin ein burn limpen.
  3:16pm
G:

Some passages in that last instrumental tune reminded me that some nationwide non-FMU all-night show was using a Jeff Beck tribute CD to the late Les Paul as bumper music a few nights ago. Released 22 Feb. Strike while the iron's hot, Jeff!
  3:16pm
yair yona:

@Matt, sorry to be disappointing. man AND non-spy? what's the use of being here ;)
Musician (search for my name, you might like it) and blogger (www.smalltownromanceblog.com)

  3:26pm
aL:

What were you speaking over just now?
  3:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thomas Truax and Leo Kottke--great sequencing.

Leo's coming to the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA on Jun 16. I'm going!
  3:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

@yair: Really cool blog! And your album cover as well!
  3:30pm
Irwin:

@aL: An extended version of "Eye Contact" by Tussle
  3:32pm
yair yona:

@matt - thanks so much. listen to it if you want : http://yairyona.bandcamp.com
  3:34pm
Matt from Springfield:

Shodder Grayson--you're reaching into the Heavies today, Irwin! What's the story with Shodder? Was this a found tape? I've found no other refs to him on the interwebs, besides FMU.
  3:35pm
Jandek:

Now this is more like it. Al's a piker.
  3:36pm
Matt from Springfield:

LOL Jandek!
  3:39pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Shodder Grayson strikes me as a more strident Kadaffi, set to music.
  3:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

I've known the Goosey Goosey Gander verse since I found it in the "violent nursery rhymes" section of Bartlett's Quotations--didn't have a tune to go with it until now.
  3:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Irwin on WFMU--the man who alternately rubs glass shards and balm into listeners' eardrums."
  3:42pm
It's accordiON:

Mildred's got a squeezebox
she wears on her chest,
and it pinches her chin,
keeps her low back compressed,
But her bellows pump flame,
And Myron Floren eats shame...
  3:43pm
northguineahills:

Swan Dive sounds like an updated Randy Newman.....
  3:45pm
Shodder Grayson:

"I am cornholio! I need T-P for my bung hole! Are you threatening me!"
  3:48pm
Snoopy:

Sopwith Camel, my faves.
  3:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

The ORIGINAL 50s "Istanbul Not Constantinople"! Thanks!
  4:01pm
Handsome Harry:

Yeah - this version is one of the better ones out there. Much obliged.
  4:01pm
Mike East:

Is this what the SCTV "5 Neat Guys" was parodying?
  4:02pm
clyde:

Hi Irwin, please vote for the Meters, love wfmu, love your show
http://www.petitiononline.com/METERHOF/petition.html
  4:02pm
SCTV:

What weren't we parodying. No Istanbull.
  4:03pm
Robert:

I keep expecting a baritone to come in for the last line of "Constantinople" to say, "But it's really Byzantium."
  4:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

GWA!!! And they're introducing themselves by name!!!
Are they opening for Amanda???!!!
  4:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

And to think that I thought it was just 2 multi-tracked girls. Actually it could STILL be just that. Creepy...
  4:08pm
Matt from Springfield:

And to think that "Honey Bee" is such a rap star, while Max Rubin languishes in obscurity. Where's the justice in the music industry?
  4:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Bee Money", I meant. Him and his extravagant Beehive State entourage, crashing all the clubs and ruining my Saturday nights!
  4:14pm
meep meep:

how can i hear more from pink lemonade? the only google result is from wmfu.
  4:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

What a heavy mix today. I was worried for a moment that you'd killed off the commenters.
  4:15pm
Dark Side:

You can't kill commenters, really. Matter of fact, they're all dead.
  4:16pm
commenter:

*death rattle*
  4:17pm
Looms:

That was an amazing Spinal Tap cover!
  4:18pm
tr;sh:

"Common Tate'

  4:20pm
iTunes:

NP, plz just keep them, kk? thx in advance.
  4:21pm
Matt from Springfield:

I'd only be too happy!
Leeeeeeetttttttt's dialogue!
  4:22pm
Music Political Officer:

Comrade Irwin,
Your playlist today has been judged by the Supreme Council to be MUSICALLY INCORRECT. You have been sentenced in absentia to permanent exile at WFMU without pay.

Oh shit, we already DID that 37 years ago! There's no stopping this freeform-ist monster!!
  4:26pm
Mommy and Daddy:

Okay, we'll give you your allowance.
BUT, you promised that you'd get plastered and raid circus world. And I want to see your DJ premiums finished and on the table before you go out.
  4:27pm
?:

I love T Rex!
  4:35pm
Matt from Springfield:

What year was this Mescaleros project of Joe's?
  4:35pm
jarom:

thanks for playing the b&s. it made me do some singing and sit-down shoulder shimmying. hearing that song and group make me do irrational things sometimes
  4:39pm
Happy Listener:

I love the loose thread connecting these sets.
  4:40pm
JCJ:

Mescaleros were started, as I recall, in 1999 and pretty much ended with Strummer's death in 2002. This album, though, was in the works at the time so was completed after he had died and released in 2003.
  4:41pm
Marmalade kitty:

@MattSF StreetCore relaeased posthumously 1993
  4:43pm
Marmalade kitty:

Sorry *ugh* 2003! JCJ ;)
  4:44pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

what's 10 years between friends?
  4:47pm
G:

Prof Elemental and Ab Al are clearly soulmates
  4:47pm
JCJ:

Time does fly.
  4:47pm
Matt from Springfield:

@JCJ, MK: Thanks!
@Irwin: Lots of stuff from your '09 premium today--my first.
  4:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

AMANDA!! Metropolitan Mama!
  4:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Anyone know what song's in the background of this one?
  4:50pm
Lizardner Dave:

Someone should do a mashup of Amanda with Kenny G & Irwin Behaving Horribly. It would be a dream come true. Or the universe would end. Either way, what fun!
  4:50pm
Robert:

I'm guessing there was just a brief period in her life when her voice was like that, poor thing.
  4:54pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Dave: If we're going out, might as well be while we're on top! What ecstasy!
  4:55pm
Marmalade kitty:

How old was Amanda when she recorded in -'87 was it..?
There's reference to a Swedish singer profesionaly known as Amanda also
  4:56pm
Marmalade kitty:

On wiki!
  4:59pm
Happy Listener:

@robert: no, she still has it in her. listen to the interview.
  5:02pm
Happy Listener:

that's quite some humility, Leonard - 100 levels below Hank Williams. hmmm
  5:04pm
Happy Listener:

bono really makes this song. bad.
  5:05pm
still b/p:

Maybe Leonard should have joined Bono and the Edge for the Spiderman musical, too. Couldn't hoit.
  5:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

Smoooooth Miles. Loving it.
  5:14pm
Happy Listener:

@still b/p: That would put him 100 floors below Hank Williams, Jr.
  5:25pm
Jazz Aficionado:

B-b-but, of COURSE Miles was on trumpet! But who were the personnel on the rest of the instruments?! I gotta know!!!!
  5:25pm
Marmalade kitty:

U2 UK..? nononononon no Eire!
  5:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

Not that you have a reason to change the station anyway, with a playlist like this going on!
  5:25pm
northguineahills:

Yeah, what Marmalade kitty said.
  5:25pm
PMD:

That one person is Beth?
  5:25pm
U2:

we're always eerie.
  5:28pm
Happy Listener:

Please don't mistake my comments for complaints, Irwin! I'm quite happy that you're consistently dishing up what I'm not expecting (except for Amanda, that's well-worn), and you haven't played anything I'd consider tuning out.
  5:30pm
Happy Listener:

Actually, you haven't played anything I'd consider tuning out for nearly 12 years.
  5:31pm
Tuner:

Hands off, Happy L.
  5:34pm
Herbal Viagra:

You go, guy!
  5:36pm
Matt from Springfield:

Oh, it's Lane Steinberg!
(For a moment there I thought this was Fredericks reading psychoanalysis transcripts).
  5:37pm
Marmalade kitty:

Life's tuw shoat..
  5:38pm
Happy Listener:

Wow, this is really gritty.
  5:38pm
hank:

  5:38pm
Herbal Viagra:

I wuz nevuh gud enuf fuh huh.
  5:40pm
Happy Listener:

and disturbingly loopy... the context gets so loose that you don't know what he's talking about. I love it!
  5:40pm
Conrad:

Mistah Kurtz, he dead.
  5:42pm
Happy Listener:

@conrad: is that still required reading in high school?
  5:42pm
jan:

You got an office phone number for Dr Kurtz? Is he in network?
  5:45pm
Dr Kurtz Small Print Medical Info Disclaimer:

Pete in LA:

  5:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Happy Listener: I like this loopy, disjointed nature myself! And the background music makes it more than bearable!
  5:48pm

  5:49pm
Oreck:

Irwin's nearly done.
  5:49pm
Irwin:

@Conrad: Gratefully so.
  5:50pm
Laura L:

Reminiscent of the voice of one of the Joe Frank actors loop-de-looping.
  5:50pm
Robert:

This is the longest commercial I've ever heard on WFMU.
  5:51pm
Marmalade kitty:

.but nod anymoah!
  5:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Robert: Unless you count Kenny G reading advertisements, deadpan, into the mike for 3 hours. Or anything really, for 3 hours.
  5:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

LOL! Tomorrow Never Knows!
  5:54pm
Robert:

I don't think even Kenny G. resorted to reading just a SINGLE ad this long.
  5:54pm
Mike East:

Laura L - I was thinking that!
  5:54pm
Happy Listener:

@Laura: Yeah, I was thinking Joe Frank, too.
  5:55pm
Robert:

I hope Dr. Kurtz donates next week.
  5:56pm
Brainiac:

Is this fellow interviewing himself? 'Cause I do that too, only it's more redundant.
  5:56pm
Happy Listener:

It's a bit resonant, too. I'm from an Irish Catholic Alcoholic background, too... but my sexual ability's fine.
  5:57pm
Robert:

Hey wait...are these the same at different speeds, or are these demo tapes from different people practicing for voice work?
  5:57pm
Matt from Springfield:

Tonight, on a very special Dr. Kurtz...
  5:57pm
Happy Listener:

Thanks for creeping me out, Irwin!
  5:57pm
Listener:

But dis segment's not too shoaht.
