...:

Hi Irwin!
  3:00pm
Matt from Springfield:

Helllllo, Irwin!
  3:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

God damnit, are YOU Irwin, you despicable ellipsis???!! You have to be!
  3:01pm
G:

Dut Dude (or Dudette) does it again!
  3:01pm
Carmichael:

Irwin! And hi everyone else.
  3:01pm
G:

Dot, not Due, for typo haters. It's been a frazzled day.
  3:02pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I have yuck taste in mouth
  3:02pm
G:

Dut not Due. Doodoo.
  3:02pm
Smoking Gun:

Or is it YOU!! Matt from so-called "Springfield"!! This is a false flag attack! Read about it on ellipsisirwinboarddemolition.org!!
  3:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: Come to WFMU then! With the yuck taste in your ears, you'll forget all about the mouth taste!
  3:03pm
G:

Dot Dude aka Sean Daily Syndrome Prevention System
  3:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

Frazzled day, is it boiling where you are, G? The A/C has been down in my office for days, it's really hot in here.
  3:05pm
blackgreen13:

earlier today, I had yuck taste in my soul. Thanks, FMU, for that non-yuck-soul feeling
  3:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Although I love when Sean does come in long after the show's begun, he writes "Oh and not even remotely first comment! Woo hoo!"
  3:06pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

bass synthesizer pedal--I got one a few weeks ago and now can hear it in any number of pop songs.
  3:07pm
G:

Not that hot in NYC, but have been running around constantly since Monday, especially with extra no-notice day in Manhattan by a former student who is now a TV presenter on Deutsche Welle's international service out of Berlin...
  3:08pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

oh shit there it is again
  3:09pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: Love that sound, I wondered what made that sound. I thought it was a guitar pedal, though there probably is a pedal for guitars and bass that does a similar effect.
  3:09pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

you can run a guitar through it sound like Tom Morello if you want
  3:10pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

but I really had fun with it when I hooked up a mic and started screaming
  3:11pm
Alliteration Addict:

They could trade names and work as Matthew Merritt and Stephin Sweet.
  3:12pm
Yoko:

I've also had a lot of fun when I hooked up a mike and started screaming.
  3:13pm
Little Known Fact:

Screamers have more fun.

Ask Amanda.
  3:13pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

alas, I can't do it with a straight face, and thus my screams are not "art"
  3:13pm
Carmichael:

@DCE: I do that all the time. Hook a mic up to my Boss ME-50 floor unit and start pressing pedals. It's a lot of fun.
  3:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

@LKF: Winning bumper sticker/T-shirt idea!
  3:14pm
postmanpaul:

Hey Urwin! Hey commentators! So, what can I bring to the table? Well, I'm cutting into a slab of limestone 5x8x2" with a "round" ended chisel the name of my son, Tom. And talking typo it's in Frankfurter CAPS, overlapping. Ee's orf to Landan Toun soon to do art; it will remind him what is name is - he will probably use it as an ashtray :)
  3:14pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

do you do noise shows for yourself? ;)
  3:15pm
Carmichael:

Yep. I like to understand all of my electronic options. You don't know what you don't know.
  3:16pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I seldom know what I do know. but that's another story. Hey, the postman is a chiseler!
  3:16pm
blackgreen13:

@postmanpaul when you said you were carving your sons name into limestone, an ashtray was not the first image to appear (for me)
  3:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

Early Lord Kitchener!
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yes, baby cool off this fire in here!
Got any ice?
  3:23pm
v k:

this calypso tune reminds me of an amazing calypso radio program on 91.5 in NYC on fri and sat nites from 7-10pm - Trevor Wilkins is the DJ - guy is a hoot
  3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yes...a slip-n-slide with you would also be pretty nice right now, Mira.
  3:25pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

that song get you a bit worked up, Matt?
  3:25pm
Bodega Man:

love Trevor Wilkins program. I I'm always wanting to hang out in the studio during the program, imagine it's pretty fun.
  3:26pm
postmanpaul:

Yeah blackgreen. It is recessed, hollowed-out, concave, nice and chunky and round - not cut classically 'V' shaped. I figure it will hold at least six cigarettes, simultaneously.
  3:28pm
Mike East:

@v k - I catch that sometimes. I'm not even really into calypso, but that guy is fun to listen to.
  3:31pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

new guy next to me in cube's FIRST EVER exposure to Amanda
  3:31pm
Matt from Springfield:

Why Don't We Do It In The Circus World!
  3:31pm
Jennique:

I was wondering when Amanda was gonna show up.
  3:31pm
Inference:

@DCE: Matt was busy searching google images for Mira Cook while typing with one hand.
  3:31pm
Matt from Springfield:

@New Guy: Welcome to an Empire of Screech and Cookies.
  3:32pm
Adamms:

That loop is cra-zay! Cave Beatles do battle, new thinks.
  3:33pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

(he hasn't made a sound yet but I know he can hear it!)
  3:33pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ha ha, Inference ;)
  3:33pm
jason:

nice you've tapped into the Mira Cook! She has a great cassette in the fmu library
  3:34pm
What's up Boo-Boo?:

what did I miss?
  3:34pm
jan:

Irwin- I was under the impression that long ago the Amanda vein had petered out, yet to my ears, I think I am hearing all new releases. Can you explain?
  3:34pm
postmanpaul:

Ah, (as opposed to aaargh) an Amanda moment.
  3:34pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

IT
  3:34pm
Inference:

anything that happened, W U B B
  3:36pm
righto:

hah second "song" i ever heard on wfmu, just tuned in from Germany :D
  3:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

Guten Abend, righto!

Was the Amanda the 2nd song you've ever heard on here?
  3:42pm
savory c:

What are signs and symptoms of vocal cord polyps?
• hoarseness
• a "rough" voice
• a "scratchy" voice
• thy name is Amanda
  3:43pm
righto:

Guten Abend! Yes Amanda was the 2nd song i ever heard on here! never really heard anything like it on any station. I got here from a youtuvbe post under a Fingerprintz video
  3:45pm
Whitney 3:

I am late on the scene here...
  3:47pm
jonny:

im a rasslin' man
  3:49pm
Matt from Springfield:

@righto: :)
That's why we're all here: "never really heard anything like it"! May you make several more new discoveries on here!
  3:50pm
postmanpaul:

I got here under a favourable endorsement from a drunk in a pub.
  3:51pm
Pub Drunks:

We know plenty. Just not about how to handle our own lives.
  3:51pm
righto:

Thank you, Matt! :)
  3:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

@postman: Wonder if that bloke is still listening, and which shows he enjoys.
@righto: Bitte schön!
  3:57pm
postmanpaul:

Yeah. I suppose you know where you're coming from Pub Drunk, just gotta figure out where you're heading.
@ Matt, has he got the stamina? I'm not convinced.
  3:59pm
Dave B:

yeeeha!
  4:00pm
savory c:

well-oiled soakers.. the whole lot of ya!
  4:01pm
Whitney 3:

Sorry I had to get another beer...
  4:03pm
postmanpaul:

Hey Irwin, please forgive me and my dyslexia. Have just noticed I have spelt you bad, and not for the first time... had better check the spelling of my son's name.
  4:10pm
G:

@pmp: I thought your "Urwin" was in reference to his archaic status at FMU.
  4:12pm
Randy in NC:

The PIX Penthouse Party!
  4:13pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

K Rock was fun while it lasted
  4:13pm
jaycjay:

@postmanpaul, I just assumed you were spelling that way because you're just coming from Pub Drunk.
  4:13pm
What's up Boo-Boo?:

PIX was great 1978-80? I remember the day it ended
  4:13pm
Lizardner Dave:

92.7 was WLIR before it was WDRE.
  4:16pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

WWE was WWF before it was WWE
  4:19pm
Minnesota Jeff:

Wow, this is fantastic!
  4:19pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

my tongue was also pink before it turned brown
  4:19pm
Lizardner Dave:

And it was the WWWF before that.
  4:19pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

DCE: Yeah. The WWF said to the WWF, "We were the WWF first! You have to be something else!" Thus, WWE.
  4:20pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

I really like this Karen Carpenter thing. Wow.
  4:20pm
What's up Boo-Boo?:

PIX Two for Tuesdays!
  4:20pm
andaloudog in DC:

So good. Great day to be a Carpenters fan.
  4:21pm
A Great Many:

Damn, just got schooled by Smells Like Karen Carpenter... that's pro.
  4:21pm
Lizardner Dave:

That was great.
  4:22pm
G:

Never thought I'd hear terrible tim here!!!! Normally he's on Staten Island public access. I have his CD.
  4:22pm
G:

Tim's a former SI Cable TV worker
  4:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Wendy,DCE: I thought they changed it to "Entertainment" because they legally couldn't keep claiming it was a "sports" federation.
  4:26pm
chris:

I think Scott Williams just pulled a muscle.
  4:26pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: I MISSED that! Is Terrible Tim a good listen?
  4:26pm
WWE:

Entertaining suckers is a sport. A profitable one.
  4:27pm
chris:

sorry, I'm listening a bit delayed... listening now to smells like karen carpenter
  4:28pm
Carmichael:

Hurry up, Chris!
  4:29pm
chris:

:-) listening as fast as I can...
  4:29pm
G:

Depends on your taste, Matt. Tim's definitely an outsider musician who often stays outside because he tends to bicker withother local people or write satiric songs about them. Most of his songs are FCC unfriendly (bodily functions, sexual activity, etc.). Check terribletim.com
  4:30pm
Lizardner Dave:

@Matt - no, it was because the Worl Wildlife Fund won their lawsuit and Vince McMahon decided he wanted to branch out into the movie business so the term "entertainment" was a better branding fit.

@WWE that sounds like a great front page slogan for wfmu.org.
  4:31pm
Andrea on the M62:

completely agree bout the strokes. happy heard you say it, sir!
  4:31pm
G:

Rich is "kicking them in the Shins"
  4:33pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Thanks.
@L.Dave: Ah, and I'm sure "branching out" is a convenient excuse to comply with a lawsuit.
  4:34pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this is weird/great
  4:34pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

so this guy was on acid at the time, I'm guessing
  4:35pm
Matt from Springfield:

Mumford & Sons--a lot of people keep bashing them on here, but what was their "big" song? I've never heard anything by them, none of their titles are familiar. I may have seen them in a RS mag but I've avoided commercial radio pretty successfully.
  4:35pm
Woo:

Yes, this is a good song.
  4:35pm
Andrea on the M62:

yikes it sounds like something wrong is going on when he is saying it
  4:36pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: This is Remix gold--mash up London Lee with The Zombies "I Love You", delightfully messed up! Maybe mix it "Hello, I Love You" as well!
  4:36pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

don't know, Matt, but some joker at work was hyping them to me, and since he was, I think they must suck. He said something about them using "Shakespearean quatrains" in their songs.
  4:37pm
The Strokes:

Come on. This Rodeo Queens song is better than maybe 1 or 2 of our songs.
  4:38pm
Detroit Mac:

i love you, too.
  4:38pm
Whitney 3:

What's burning?
  4:39pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I love Mac-n-Cheese
  4:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: The anti-dorsement of a particular person is sometimes a great warning sign. "I've been told to like this by a smart-ass corporate journalist who knows big words!"
  4:40pm
Bad Ronald:

I'll take a vodka and quatrains please...
  4:40pm
Ike:

@MfS, you couldn't have heard Mumford on any D.C. stations anyway, even if there was anything tolerable on the dial there. They're big on indie rock stations like KEXP and "AAA" stations like WTMD in Towson and WXPN in Philly and WFUV, and the now-defunct WRXP.
  4:41pm
Whitney 3:

NO its pate chinois burning
  4:41pm
Detroit Mac:

Give me cheesy music all the time. Will start following you - Mr. Russo
  4:41pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I would've liked to hear Danny Bonadouche!
  4:42pm
don:

what/!?!? horrendous?! play that danny bonaduce shit...
  4:42pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this guy reminds me of Evan Dando
  4:47pm
K:

TIL Discovering Amanda brought tears to Irwin's eyes.
  4:51pm
Detroit Mac:

Listening to Irwin is always an exercise in denial.
  4:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

All listeners trust that Irwin's complete and utter lack of commitment to that trust will form a trusting bond of affection for this unaffectable DJ.
  4:52pm
CreepGuyYou Like:

self-denial indeed :)
  4:54pm
J J:

@Matt
Nice one.
  4:55pm
Old WFMU Manager:

This Springsteen's going to be HUGE! Replace the sixth Yes track of this afternoon with something from this "The Wild, The Innocent" album!
  4:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hey J J!
  4:56pm
THE LORD:

WHY IS WFUV BEING METIONED???? THEY ONCE TRIED TO DESTROY FMU...????!!!???? THEY ARE THE HAND OF SATAN...
  4:57pm
K:

What teen movie/television soundtracks are this band on?
  4:59pm
THE LORD:

sp..MENTIONED...
  5:01pm
Ike:

LOL @ The Almighty
  5:03pm
J J:

Ohhh, WFMU has seriously been lacking in yodeling of late.
  5:04pm
Detroit Mac:

Gay Mountaineer Yodeling. Made my day!
  5:05pm
G:

Brokeback Yodel.
  5:12pm
Carmichael:

Now we're talkin' ....
  5:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Syd! I don't think I've ever heard Irwin play Syd before.

And if you don't like Syd...BARRETT!
  5:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

Der Christer Schytts is pretty good, I recognized that name!
  5:19pm
G:

Who is Dan Galt?
  5:23pm
FRED:

  5:40pm
NAMBLA:

@Pedo: Ixnay on the oyzbay.

Fred A.:

Shine on my Shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5:43pm
kat330:

That last group, All Good Dreamers Pass This Way is a Joni Mitchell lyric from "Last Time I Saw Richard" on "Blue."
  5:45pm

G:

For the young: This is the movie that the number "That's Entertainment" is from

  5:49pm
Carmichael:

Dang, a meeting took me away from Pete Stampfel. I've always been fond of Beer Cans on the Moon.
  5:50pm
G:

they were so sophisticated then. dig the damon runyon lingo, baby
  5:53pm
blackgreen13:

stuff was so modern back then
  5:54pm
kat330:

@blackgreen 13: Just the facts, ma'am/sir!
  5:56pm
Sam Spade:

Dames!
  5:58pm
Aloha Steve and Danno:

Book 'em!
  5:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Pleasant kimono dance to close the show out, Irwin! And great interview with Rich Russo as well--glad I know about him now!

Have a good night everyone!
