Listener comments!

  3:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

Mmmm, poutine shanty. Delicious, and singable!
  3:03pm
rrg:

Is it All-Request Wednesday yet?

I keep hoping.
  3:03pm
Carmichael:

OK, hi Irwin and others forthcoming.
  3:04pm
Alison Porchnik:

I need a Zimbaphone like I need a hole in the head. And I need a hole in the head like nobody's business.
  3:05pm
Matt from Springfield:

There was a commenter on some playlists before I began to actively comment here, with a moniker I really like: "Lysergic Poutine".
  3:06pm
Alison Porchnik:

But you're so cute when you're pouting, Irwin.
  3:07pm
Matt from Springfield:

Angil & the Hiddentracks--nice, intriguing.
  3:07pm
duke:

More Zimbaphone!
  3:10pm
Vladimir Poutin:

Is not Pussy Riots in here, no? Everyone is not like me this days. Poor me. Big power and so lonely. Pull shades in dacha shanty and have moping.
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

Teufelsleiter = "Devil's Ladder"
  3:11pm
DCE:

you ol' tuefel, Irwin
  3:12pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: As a drummer and fan of drumming, what's your opinion on timpanis and "big drums" like this one? Do you like them as much as rock/jazz drum kits, or do you like a drum kit more?
  3:12pm
DCE:

if I could spell, it would read "you ol' teufel, Irwin".
  3:13pm
still b/p:

I have a collection of rare antique zimbaphone stirrups. The Mexican ones are ornate and striking.
  3:13pm
Tim Panny:

no one likes me as much as those little trappy drummies
  3:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Vlad P: Vodka's the problem--for a number of Russians, it neither cheers them up nor makes them forget. All the suffering of alcohol with none of the perks, it seems.
  3:14pm
DCE:

still b/p, that collection of yours...they're actually gynecological stirrups...I didn't disclose that when i sold it to you.
  3:17pm
Tim Pan Alley:

All the great pop songs featuring big drums came from here. If only there were some classic pop songs featuring big drums...

Alison Porchnik:

It's raining in my poutin' shanty. Somebody bring me a bucket.
  3:18pm
Sean Daily:

Neat! It's that awesome music I heard in the Chinese restaurant last week!
  3:20pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Sean: Sounded kind of Latin, or Balkan. Bert was probably aiming for Americans who liked the polkas and Eastern Euro forms of music.
  3:20pm
still b/p:

Either way, distinctive music created through proper practice, sensitive touch and good listening.
  3:20pm
rrg:

You're billboarding the talkover music now?

Oh, you're not. You hit the wrong button in your AccuPlaylist thingy. Caught you.

wow, not 10min ago i was playing the AC NEWMAN song, via matador records link. greeeeat tune.

I was wondering why you'd want ruin this nice song by talking over it. But ours is not to reason why.
  3:24pm

Oh, the errors and mistakes DJs have tried to hide over the years...

Paul Simon Bumper Music Wednesday!

Alison Porchnik:

Are you being sequestered on the Kennedy compound, Irwin?
  3:27pm
Matt from Springfield:

All those 'Ritas before 4...if you're on the Vineyard make sure Irwin isn't driving! Or boating!
  3:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Toy-fulls-lighter" the "s" is just a possessive and a split in the words--don't "sl" together the sounds.
  3:30pm
Matt from Springfield:

@rrg: Classic!
  3:34pm

How much for the Monkey Brain Sandwich Value Meal?

KINKS!!! '67 era!

ah yeah, Irwin turned me on to these guys a couple summers ago...good stuff!

WFMU - the Party of Free Stuff!
  4:00pm
Efrem Zimbaphone Jr.:

My programs always had a Zimbaphone!
  4:01pm
rrg:

I finally got some WFMU swag in the mail. How's about the rest of you cats and kittens?
  4:02pm
G:

@rrg: Got mine in May or June. I guess I just didn't happen to pick anything that had a production delay :-)
  4:03pm
Alison Porchnik:

All but the Ken and Andy Sex Tape DVD, and after waiting this long I'm actually quite relieved.
  4:07pm
rrg:

Mine just arrived. All but something from Ken, but I didn't ask for a sex tape so I don't know what this is/will be.

They even sent me some stuff I don't remember asking for.

Still better than last year, when I waited almost a year for Ken's baked treats and got two measly pieces. I still feel burned by that.
  4:07pm
rrg:

NO!
  4:08pm
G:

FREEDOM OF SCREECH!!!!!!!!
  4:08pm
Droll:

When my Jersey City flexi-disc arrived it was too warped to play so I sandwiched it between some books in a pile to flatten it out and I haven't been able to find it since.
Nobody's posted it to YouTube yet, I would correct that if I could just find it...
  4:08pm
in the woof mood:

"Ken and Andy: Poodle Playtime"
  4:08pm
radio art party:

CONCRETE NIPPLES
  4:10pm
rrg:

If I had a turntable I would digitize that Flexi-Disc.

I feel burned by that too. I'm a digital guy now. I've moved on.
  4:10pm
G:

Title is French for "July Was Shining"
  4:10pm
kw:

Concrete Nipples? And I didn't think any song title could ever surpass Squaw Hootenany
  4:11pm
rrg:

I knew that.

And Mademoiselle Nineteen is French for "Miss Nineteen."
  4:12pm
rrg:

If this were a Canadian station, this would count as CanCon.
  4:12pm
G:

I knew that. :-)
  4:14pm
Michael:

received box o swag Saturday with stuff I completely forgot about including the flexi. Ken's is on backorder as are others. Is this the sex tape as well?
  4:14pm
Alison Porchnik:

But I can read your mind. And boy do I wish I were illiterate.
  4:15pm
G:

You just don't get it? :-)
  4:15pm
Laura L:

"Reflections" is English for "Reflections"
  4:15pm
Lamestream:

Reading minds is one thing. Bending spoons is a whole nother level.
  4:15pm
Ike:

"...like a movie star/ who gets burned in a three-way script...." Say what?
  4:16pm
Alison Porchnik:

@Michael: "on backorder" means (as far as the sex tape goes) that they just can't bring themselves to do it.
  4:17pm
G:

Alison found the fatal flaw. Even that show's premiums have fatal flaws, apparently.
  4:18pm
rrg:

My guess is that by "three-way script" Mr. Lightfoot meant "story with a love triangle in it".

But I've never met the gentleman and haven't asked him.
  4:18pm
G:

I knew that :-)
  4:18pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yeah Lane!
And speaking of The Kinks, that sounded like their unreleased instrumental "Little Women" in the background, with the nice mellotrons and rock arrangement.
  4:18pm
rrg:

All right, please, what's THIS talkover music? The banjo thing?

Please tell me again even if you already told me.
  4:19pm
Channeling the Mgr:

Don't break the mic
  4:19pm

Good analysis, rrg. Makes sense. Wait a minute. The main hatchway's giving in. Fellas! It's too rough to feed ya!
  4:21pm
Gordon's Foot:

Please, just don't come creepin' round my back stairs. I grow pot down there and sometimes keep girls locked up for days.

"Perpetual Dolesome Machine"? The title sounds sadder than the music does.

Vincent could get over himself a little and down off the pedestal a little...based on interviews I've seen and his glowing credit for his own influence and importance. Attitude is everything.

Precisely. I got ATTITUDE. Deal.

Nowhere but here. No one else at WFMU has ever played Angil and the Hiddentracks.

Well, you know, Matt, he's been doing this for longer than you've been alive.

My mom's mom did crosswords well till she died at 103. OK, so she had no idea who any of us were the last 25 years. But people remember what they are really good at and interested in.

So Irwin therefore remembers how to kick ass, is that it?

Gringo:

Progbrid.
  5:26pm
Matt from Springfield:

Good Lord--if that's Irwin's age, just how old is the Codger...

And at least Irwin still does a great job at vacuuming the studio--by the sound of this long track he must be concluding that task.
  5:26pm
G:

This is so clearly early prog.

I was afraid of that, Gringo.

Bob Fripp is hard to hang in there with :-)
  5:28pm

Fun fact: the word for "cliché" in French means the exact same thing as "stereotype" in English: "printing plate cast from movable type" in the old days of printing. In both cases a pre-fab, ready to go idea reproduced without much thought.
