Listener comments!

  3:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

Emotional forecasts...finally some forecasting most of us can use!
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

A wonderful world of percussion it is! We NEED more xylophone leads!
  3:12pm
Alison Porchnik:

This is exactly what my sinus headache needs. Thank you.
  3:14pm
Irwin:

I need a tweezers to pluck this damn earlobe follicle
  3:15pm
Irwin:

And donors to help reach this show's support goal.
  3:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hi Irwin, Alison and other incomers!
Hope your sinus headache eases up, Alison.
  3:18pm
Michael:

Hey now Irwin. I can only assume Mr. C. Edison would have voted for the great Mills as Essex County Sheriff.
  3:20pm
Irwin:

No, Courtney preferred the renegade Dodge City Party sheriff, who had a more aggressive approach to law enforcement.
  3:21pm
Matt from Springfield:

I like this cover!
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

The Wild West-of-the-Hudson

common:

nice nilsson!
  3:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

Something tells me it's all happening in the garbage can..
  3:25pm
Michael:

Rupert sure had an short, interesting life.
  3:25pm
Alison Porchnik:

Stop fussing with your ears, Irwin. Hair grows in weird places when you begin to age. Deal with it.

Recommend the documentary on Nilsson: Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt075672
  3:25pm
Denise in DC:

This Nilsson has a touch of Zappa-esque lunacy.
  3:27pm
?:

@? - Yes the flick is spectacular.
  3:29pm
βrian:

I'm seeing blood orange.
  3:32pm
βrian:

Dr Arwulf says to put corn in your ears, not nair.
  3:38pm
Alison Porchnik:

Wow. Some kind of crazy mischief virus has taken over the Accu-Playlist!
  3:45pm
Matt from Springfield:

Oh dear, was that doppelcommenter of mine back again?
  3:46pm
Katya Oddio:

That's great for DJ Keilidh! I've never had a 100% music compatibility with anyone. Hang on to Ken, Keiligh.
  3:47pm
frenchee:

DJ Keili!
good to hear her on the airwaves...
  3:47pm
Matt from Springfield:

And βrian, I just saw that happen to you now!
  3:47pm
Listening Out There:

Of course...with a birthday, you gotta have Cream on top...
  3:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

That said...
Best Friends and Last FM 100% Music Compatibility Forever!!
  3:48pm
Katya Oddio:

Caught myself reciting the Pressed Rat and Warthog story recently. Still love Cream.
  3:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

@frenchee: I enjoyed her fill-in last week! And I was reminded that in addition to her "DJ Keilidh" name, she has also released under Estrogen Jihad and Lady Reignicorn.
  3:53pm
Katya Oddio:

Freebie Lady Reignicorn download

Really, the Food Fighters?
  3:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ah, thanks Katya!
  3:56pm
Katya Oddio:

This playlist sure looks like my rekkid library so far. Irwin, are you in my den?
  3:57pm
Irwin:

Invite me.
  3:57pm
Katya Oddio:

fashion, this show is where I first heard Miley Cyrus. Rules-free freeform forever.
  3:58pm
Denise in DC:

Irwin, does your percentage-raised figure count last week's contributions, or just this week's?
  4:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

"The title of the album is based on a malapropism. Eric Clapton had been thinking of buying a racing bicycle and was discussing it with Ginger Baker, when a roadie named Mick Turner commented, "it's got them Disraeli Gears", meaning to say "derailleur gears," but instead alluding to 19th-century British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli. The band thought this was hilarious, and decided that it should be the title of their next album."
  4:01pm
Katya Oddio:

WFMU and UCB, two of the best reasons to live in the NYC metro area
  4:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: And the Meetups! That's a huge plus to meet with your fave DJs and hosts, and see them at the Record Fair and Hoof & Mouth as well!

Speaking of which @Denise: I'm trying to lay the groundwork for a DC area fans Meetup. Would you be interested? Would a weeknight or weekend be better?
  4:09pm
Denise in DC:

Oh, absolutely! A weekend would be better for me, but a weeknight might be possible if it was early enough. I've got some medical issues that are causing my docs to shake their fingers at me about going to bed early.
  4:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Great Denise! There was a smaller group of N. VA fans who were interested, and I may help arrange a Meetup in Falls Church first to see how that goes. If successful, I'd go for a larger, DC-based Meetup (VA and MD also invited, but some were reluctant to head into the District for a Meetup). I'll let you all know how that goes in any case, and use the official website to announce it when the time comes.
  4:13pm
SteveL:

Heard Mr. Soul live in Chicago at the Crazy Horse concert. They still bring it. Great show, (and I hate arena shows.)
  4:13pm
northguineahills:

Sweet, Buffalo Springfield....
  4:13pm
Denise in DC:

Which official website, Matt?
  4:15pm
jan:

Something happening here, Irwin. We (I) would certainly
enjoy more Buffalo Springfield, if you don't mind.
  4:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

meetup.com -- WFMU has a group on there, I would announce it there (I need to register with meetup.com first) and hype it on the comments to raise awareness. It's difficult wrangling fans together since we're not local to the station, but the Inter-tubes makes it easier!

  4:19pm
Irwin:

No silent donors this show today? Waaaah!
  4:20pm
Alison Porchnik:

I gave at the orifice. So to speak.
  4:22pm
Denise in DC:

I gave last week.
  4:22pm
Denise in DC:

Thanks, Matt!
  4:27pm
rrg:

I gave pre-show. Silently. Except for this. I saw the percentage change!
  4:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hooray, Old Codger!
  4:28pm
Listening Out There:

I gave last week too. Give now...give often...
  4:35pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, this is worse than the Christian public access stuff posted on YT!!
In fact it's worse than most "incorrect" Christian records!
  4:37pm
Listening Out There:

Not fair. I'm listening to a meeting. I should be listening to this instead. I miss the good stuff...
  4:38pm
chris:

Oh how this hurts. Hard to breathe.
  4:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

From a room at the scenic Psychiatric Hospital for Christian Preachers...
  4:41pm
Alison Porchnik:

Suddenly I find myself in the Grauzone. It smells weird in here.
  4:42pm
Irwin:

Sells like wilderness. Polar bears. Fresh salmon.
  4:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wir möchten Eisbären sein!
  4:48pm
Denise in DC:

The Christian Astronauts bring me much joy.
  4:52pm
Listening Out There:

Praise Allah there is an archive. :) I can listen to the Astronauts later...
  4:57pm
Matt from Springfield:

The Calcutta cutie cuts her Calcutta curry...
  4:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

...in cubes! Try that as a vocal exercise! :)
  5:05pm
rrg:

Ken's only at 15%, and Irwin's at 53%.

That's gotta count for something, right?
  5:07pm
CP:

Horace Silver. Nice selection, Ir.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:08pm
Irwin:

We have different support goals. Mine is attainable. Ken's is insane. Like Ken.
  5:08pm
Alison Porchnik:

Beautiful. Who knew Irwin was a Dancetude kind of guy?
  5:09pm
Matt from Springfield:

Well, it's special that the Irwin-Ike agreement for this year just happened! Celebrate with a drink later.
  5:10pm
jan:

The best bit of arcana discovered on your comments page:
The origin of the name 'Disraeli Gears.' So what kind of bike
did Clapton buy, anyway?
  5:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Alison: Dance Étude, mind you :)
Lovely études here indeed.
  5:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

@jan: Here's a long blog post talking about Clapton's interest in bikes:
http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2008/01/from-bsnyc-culture-desk-clapton-by-eric.html

Although, Eric seems to have bought many bikes over the years, but isn't fond of riding them: "I was hoping that part of Clapton’s obsession with bicycles might involve riding them, but alas, this is not the case: '...I have begun buying vintage road bikes, not to ride but because I have always loved the equipment of cycling, especially bikes and accessories from the sixties.' "

other david:

Superb. Superb.
  5:20pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hi OD, superbity is always in excess here!
  5:22pm
Katya Oddio:

Seeing that 54% makes me regret already paying my pledge this time around.
  5:23pm
jan:

Bikes and accessories from the 60's are quite appealing, and there were a number of hand crafted British bikes as well as the Italian bikes one could fetishize. I will check the link. Thanks
  5:24pm
other david:

Hey Matt, indeed it is!

Irwin actually manages to make me look forward to a Wednesday.

Will be donating soon.
  5:31pm
elena:

Genius!
  5:34pm
Matt from Springfield:

Miss Judice, rising star! When she gets a one-woman show, be sure to tell us.
  5:39pm
rrg:

It's so great to hear this, especially on WFMU. Thank you.
  5:39pm
Alex:

just hearing those drums come on put a smile on my face. always brings to mind breakers in the subway station
  5:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thriller, blast from the past!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:41pm
Irwin:

RRG: This is an incredible song, with great arrangement, vocal, lyrics, rhythm, instrumentation, and je ne sais quoi.
  5:41pm
Katya Oddio:

Guinness World Records says that Michael Jackson’s Mexican fans have won the world record for most people to dance to the song “Thriller” simultaneously in one place. 13,597 people performed the dance routine on Aug. 29, 2009 which would have been Jackson’s 51st birthday. Has it been broken yet?
  5:46pm
Katya Oddio:

Thank you for all your contributions to the Found Footage Festival over the years, Irwin! I cheer every time the fellas credit you in the theatre out here.
  5:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Okay, there's that guy again!
I order you to ceast-and-desist, impersonator.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:49pm
Irwin:

I got him, Matt.
  5:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: Do they ever issue the featured found films on DVD? Or, at least take it on tour? I'd love to go to a Found Footage Festival!

(Everything Is Terrible! Has released DVDs, that's about the closest I've found. And even those are generally all from commercial videos).
  5:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks muchly.
  5:52pm
Katya Oddio:

Yes, Matt, and yes, Matt! Then you can cheer for our friend, too!
http://foundfootagefest.com/
  5:53pm
rrg:

...and "Notre Dame" is French for "Our Lady". Whatever that means.
  5:54pm
rrg:

I blanked. Who are we cheering for?
  5:54pm
rrg:

Whom.
  5:55pm
Katya Oddio:

Some charming Republican crackpot, and why are you referring to the "Virgin Mother"?
  5:56pm
rrg:

54% and counting. Two more October shows to go.
  5:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, thank you muchly, Katya! I might get hooked onto that website like when I first found out about YouTube! :)
  5:56pm
rrg:

It's on Rupert Mills' shirt.
  5:57pm
Matt from Springfield:

Tickets still available for Andy B's Vegas show.
It's really good, Andy's on a huge stage, but inside of a shower stall, nude, and showering.
  5:57pm
Katya Oddio:

Irwin set them up with a heap of NYC public access shows
  5:58pm
Katya Oddio:

Doh! Thanks, rrg. Thanks for the show every week, Irwin! Cheers, all!
  5:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Irwin, another great show! Pledge, and get Uncle Irwin up to 100%!

Have a great evening everyone!
