WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from January 13, 2016

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 3:08pm Alison Porchnik: Whisky drinkers do not love America.
	3:08pm Whooda: Way swingin' jazz Irwinman... recently bought a box of CD's which has some nice jazz discs. Back into the cool hep.
	3:10pm Listening Out There: Charlie Hunter is also in a good trio these days, with Curtis Fuller (trombone) and Bobby Previte (drums). Neat player...
	3:19pm Grok-o-matic: And so it goes. Dang missed a Lane Steinberg song. Still have yet to find a copy of The Wind stuff.
	3:20pm P-90: Greetings Irwin. Starting right off with some nice flavors.
	3:23pm Grok-o-matic: You're cracking me up right now.
	3:24pm Grok-o-matic: Blackstar is really good. Been listening to it a bit.
	3:24pm berbo: I'll never forget where I was when I heard Irwin announce that Ken had announced that Bowie was dead.
	3:25pm Grok-o-matic: haha
	♥ 3:26pm Lizardner Dave: I'll never forget where I was when I tuned in late and read on the comments board that Irwin had announced that Ken had announced that David Bowie was dead.
	3:27pm P-90: Unsettling news about Joe Frank. Listen to the guy's projects for 30+ years and you come to feel a certain attachment. Or affection even.
	♥ 3:27pm Irwin: I'll never forget this chair I'm sitting in while I made that announcement about Ken's announcement.
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm Alison Porchnik: The video tha Chris Hadfield made is worth watching: www.youtube.com... (but wait until Irwin is playing something that sucks).
	3:28pm Grok-o-matic: "Where the f*ck did Monday go?"
	3:29pm (Eyepatch) Fox: Grok - I agree. Blackstar is amazing. I can't stop listening to it! But then, Outside was my favorite Bowie album.
	3:29pm P-90: I saw Therese's Comments post: "Holy Crap", even before Irwin made it official by announcing Ken's announcement. I'll never forget that particular chill either.
	3:32pm Freddy's Friend: What'd I miss? What news of Joe FranK?
	♥ 3:32pm fred: @(Eyepatch) Fox: Outside is my favorite Bowie album too
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm Alison Porchnik: Hadfield's recording is even more impressive considering that microgravity does weird things to your voice - spit doesn't drain, your tongue doesn't naturally rest at the bottom of your mouth, vocal chords behave differently, etc.
	3:33pm Freddy's Friend: derp - followed the link
	3:33pm Freddy's Friend: derp - followed the link
	♥ 3:33pm Irwin: I love that Hadfield recording. What a soulful performance.
	3:34pm Parq: I'll never forget where I was when I realized I had no freaking idea what all this "Ken's announcement" stuff was about.
	3:34pm Laura L: I'll never forget that I too was sitting in a chair when I read Irwin's brave statement that he was seated in a chair he now will never forget while he made the announcement about Ken's announcement. Sends shivers up the spine.
	♥ 3:34pm Irwin: Parq: Forget everything you've experienced today and start over again.
	3:35pm glenn: i went to high school with chris hadfield. he's always been a thoroughly decent guy.
	3:35pm andaloudog: Thought I was going to have to turn off the radio to avoid wall-to-wall Carrot Top. Thank you for not doing that, Irwin.
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm Alison Porchnik: What? What happened to Carrot Top? OMG
	♥ 3:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Carrot Top looks like the affluenza teen's mom.
	3:38pm Parq: I'll never forget where I was when I saw Alison Porchnik ask what happened to Carrot Top.
	3:40pm andaloudog: @KenHydePark: That got coffee spit right onto my keyboard. Worth it.
	3:40pm glenn: hands up anybody who actually cares what happens to carrot top.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Alison Porchnik: I'm sure Chris Hadfield would care, in that "Carrot Top is a human being too" sort of way.
	🎸 ♥ 3:42pm Alison Porchnik: Although I suppose at least 87% of him is no longer human.
	3:42pm P-90: Wait, Carrot Top? What now? Not him too?
	🎸 ♥ 3:49pm Alison Porchnik: The peritoneal space station
	3:50pm Grok-o-matic: As much as I love Prince and he's amazing. He ain't no Bowie.
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm Alison Porchnik: Boy George recently claimed that he slept with Prince. Does that count?
	3:51pm MONEYBAG$: Prince's death has been tied up in legal wrangling
	🎸 ♥ 3:52pm Alison Porchnik: Oops, I meant "perineal" space station. Pardon the anatomical mistake.
	3:53pm berbo: I can never remember when I first heard the rumor that Paul McCartney was dead. Was that the 70s?
	♥ 3:53pm dale: i couldn't take a non-stop barrage of prince's music. most of it sounds like it was recorded on recoton cassette tape
	3:53pm glenn: boy george is full of shit.
	3:54pm Sharon G: I'll never forget where I was when my radio speakers cracked under the weight of the irony in Irwin's comments about the death of David Bowie and the ??? of Station Manager Ken.
	3:54pm Laura L: I just want to point out that Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
	🎸 ♥ 3:54pm Alison Porchnik: HA!
	3:54pm Hoboken Jack: Looking forward to the purple prose regarding his eventual demise.
	3:55pm Carlo Ponte: Mel Torme is still dead...
	♥ 3:56pm dale: alison - perenial, like pernium?
	🎸 ♥ 3:57pm Alison Porchnik: Yes, that space station.
	3:57pm P-90: Ha, this sounds so much like one of Fred "Mister" Rogers's puppet voices
	♥ 3:59pm dale: that station went into a black hole.
	♥ 4:00pm Irwin: Joe got an anonymous $5K donation for his med bills. Now above $25K.
	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm Alison Porchnik: Which doesn't mean there's no need to support him. They had already been eating into their savings before all of this happened. (And everyone knows how much radio producers and artists make.) Hopefully they'll go way above the goal.
	♥ 4:07pm Irwin: The goal is $40K. They're a long way.
	4:08pm Grok-o-matic: Actually just listened to this song for the first time earlier today. Dig it.
	4:10pm andaloudog: More Bowie, some Aladdin Top: i193.photobucket.com...
	4:16pm flashbazbo: What is joes situation. Or is it a hipa violation?
	♥ 4:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Is Ol' Bessie on the loose? Kurt's been playing David Bowie since noon and isn't about to stop until the cows come home. www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:18pm Irwin: flash: click on the link, it explains.
	♥ 4:33pm dale: every time we NEED the EAS the power is out and we don't hear it anyway. did it get activated during sandy or irene or lee? i think not.
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Alison Porchnik: No! Santa for President.
	4:36pm P-90: Joe's site currently says 25K raised of a 55K goal. I'd guess that many potential supporters haven't even heard of his current circumstances yet. I'd love to see him get 100%.
	4:36pm Linda Lee: love the sounds today Irwin! Satan for President indeed. as usual.
	4:37pm judy from croton: Great sound
	4:37pm Linda Lee: Slaphappy is marvelous.
	4:38pm Linda Lee: & Slapp Happy as well.
	4:38pm glenn: better satan than trump, that piece of shit.
	♥ 4:38pm Irwin: P-90: they keep raising the goal as money comes in. Good for them.
	4:39pm Linda Lee: @glenn ~ vote for one, you get the other.
	4:39pm berbo: This is not Slap Happy Humphrey.
	4:43pm berbo: In all seriousness, I remember quite clearly the first time I heard "Hunky Dory". It was New Year's eve, back in the 70s. My friend next door came over, and we stole some of my dad's liquor.
	4:43pm Parq: Of all the versions of "Mars" I've heard on FMU this week, I liked that one the best.
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm Alison Porchnik: haven't heard this guy in ages!
	♥ 4:44pm joe: I really don't know if I've ever heard a bad version of Mars. Does that say something to the song writing?
	4:46pm glenn: i don't have to worry about it. we canadians already voted our satan out in october.
	4:47pm Listener Robert: Dale, I remember the 1st time the EAS was used in this metro area was the early 1990s for a storm that wasn't so severe, just a lot of rain, & not even a real lot at that. They waited until the USSR dissolved to use it so people wouldn't freak out, then they used it apparently because they could. And they didn't use it 9/11/01.
	4:52pm Listener Robert: Then they instituted those color codes for alertness, & then they totally mindfucked me by instituting the totally unrelated Amber Alert, which I assumed to be part of the color coding because amber's a color. Then they added the Silver Alerts on the hwys., and now I might as well be color blind.
	4:55pm Listener Robert: NYC never made it out of Orange status -- not because of our Dutch hx, but for terror reasons, while the rest of the country slipped into Yellow, until eventually they just discontinued the whole thing except on the cartoons.
	5:01pm Brendan: EASy
	5:07pm spodiodi: Who cares? Indeed.
	5:07pm Listener Robert: Please, Ken, don't suspend Irwin! He'll make it up by IDing in some other stations' names.
	5:08pm Christine: Fuck you and your snarkyness
	5:09pm spodiodi: We love you, Christine <3
	♥ 5:16pm Irwin: Oops, did I say something awful?
	5:18pm glenn: who can say?
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm chris: Thanks, Irwin, for letting us know about Joe. <3 Big hugs to Christine, too!
	5:22pm thelma: Never heard the original of Lucy's Door , only Belafonte's . Thanks.
	5:23pm Ike: I presume yr "timely" report on DB's death was a microaggression against his corpse, Irwin.
	♥ 5:24pm Irwin: Don't blame the bearer of bad news, Ike. That would be Ken.
	♥ 5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sophie Tucker! ...major influence on TheBeatles don'chaknow... Does that Rum come in Blue ?...
	5:26pm thelma: Joe Frank's medical condition sounds eerily like one of his episodes.
	♥ 5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...these guys influenced TheBeatles too...
	♥ 5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @thelma: If you read about Joe @ that link - he's been to the Doctor more than once. Gawdammit...C'mon Powerball...
	5:35pm Cheyenne: Had this song in my head all week last week!
	♥ 5:40pm Irwin: There are far worse earworms.
	♥ 5:40pm dale: peter noone covered this in 71 as well
	♥ 5:41pm Irwin: No he didn't.
	♥ 5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wrote a few passable tunes...one or two, yerknow...jayzus...
	♥ 5:41pm Rich in Washington: Bab's version blew me away when I first heard it
	5:42pm Grok-o-matic: You are still cracking me up today
	♥ 5:44pm dale: fer reals? now i have egg on my face - duped by youtoob.
	♥ 5:44pm dale: if you can't believe what you learn on the internet then all hope is lost.
	♥ 5:46pm dale: can i believe that noone released 'oh, you pretty things' first?
	♥ 5:47pm Irwin: Peter Noone himself denied ever recording LoM.
	5:47pm Jibolo: I'll never forget where I was when I learned I couldn't believe everything I read on the internet. Wow, that was a lot of "I"s.
	5:49pm thelma: This is "Don't le me Mother Know" as I knew and loved it. Not authentic calypso but beautiful : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Eb73o17gc
	♥ 5:50pm dale: i think ken broke the news about that too, jibolo
	♥ 5:51pm Irwin: I repeat: Ken is America's Anchorman.
	5:52pm MenfussMike: good stuff Thelma
	5:56pm Wilbur twinhorse: Snarkoleptics Anonymous meeting @ 6 p.m. Sharp
	5:56pm Laura L: Thanks for having the courage today to break the news that Ken broke the news this morning, Irwin. We'll never forget it!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm chris: thanks, Irwin!
	♥ 5:57pm Lizardner Dave: I'll never forget where I was when this show ended.
