WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from August 23, 2017

Listener comments!
	3:03pm Parq: Drove past Hoffman's many times when my kid was going to school up there. Glad to know that it is as fine a purveyor of quality items as it always looked.
	3:03pm Listening Out There: Wait, don't tell me...it's a bra made from a slice of pizza...
	3:05pm Laura L: A good example of just one reason I never wear a pizza bra--it's inadequate to the task.
	♥ 3:06pm Passaic River Blues: A portrait of Ken Freedman and a female companion?
	♥ 3:07pm Michael 98145: oh, my --
	♥ 3:12pm tadpoles: Went to see "The Glass Castle" at the Lyceum in Red Hook last night (next to Hoffman's). Looks like one of the Mom's paintings from the movie!
	3:13pm Parq: Ah, Steely Dan. Speaking of schools in that area.
	3:15pm Parq: Barrytown is the name of a teeny town south of Annandale. There was once a famous monastery there. The Moonies own it now.
	3:20pm Listening Out There: Had a tough time sending the puppy as an email attachment...
	♥ 3:20pm Michael 98145: ( as someone who has done that, this -does- beat loading trucks. )
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm Alison Porchnik: I want a puppy!
	3:22pm Parq: LOT for the win.
	♥ 3:25pm Michael 98145: - ooh -
	3:31pm cee dubbles: from the bass riff and rim tapataps I thought this was gonna be Karen Kuhls, mash up of Very Good Year with White Rabbit
	3:37pm Mark R: I was listening to a Maynard Ferguson concert earlier that Jaki played piano on
	3:37pm Listening Out There: Enjoying today's program thus far. I will not ask for my money back...
	♥ 3:38pm Irwin: Jaki, like Sun Ra and Don Pullen, offers an encyclopedia of jazz history in every solo performance.
	♥ 3:46pm coelacanth∅: cool. i'll welcome a blues show for sure.
	3:49pm Mark R: Matt Fiveash was playing some Buddy Guy about an hour ago that was tasty
	♥ 3:50pm Michael 98145: Matt did a fine job
	3:50pm Mark R: Yeah I agree--funky enough for the Duane Train audience but with his own spin on it.
	3:51pm Carmichael: I've seen Buddy Guy twice in the last three years. Took him about 30 seconds each time to start dropping the F bomb. If I did my math right, he should be 83 years old.
	3:51pm Parq: Fiveash's show always is a blues show, in a manner of speaking, but i know what you man. Cee Dub @ 3:31, titled "White Year" or "A Very Good Rabbit"?
	3:52pm Mark R: Yep he can still play though
	♥ 3:52pm coelacanth∅: i practically never hear Matt's show, because of work.
	3:52pm Mark R: He was filling in for Duane today
	♥ 3:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Music Factory #24 upcoming. Two more to go after this? I kind of lost count.
	♥ 3:55pm Irwin: Freddie Hubbard: trumpet
	♥ 3:56pm Irwin: James Spaulding: alto saxophone
	♥ 3:56pm Irwin: Joe Henderson: tenor saxophone
	♥ 3:57pm coelacanth∅: - i rarely hear Duane - or Tony, for the same reason...although i could've heard it in the car for probably most of an hour today. i never did turn the radio on; i just sang.
	♥ 3:57pm Irwin: Duke: piano
	♥ 3:59pm Michael 98145: another great set
	4:14pm Carmichael: The internet says there were 26 episodes, so ya Ken you're on track.
	♥ 4:18pm Irwin: As I clarified, Wilson's tenure as host spanned 26 eps, but he did not host ep. 22.
	4:20pm Carmichael: It also says Bob and Ray subsequently hosted an "untold" # of shows. Interesting idea ...
	♥ 4:20pm Irwin: Tim Hardin can tear your heart out. Does that make him an icon of vampire-folk?
	♥ 4:24pm ChrisB.: Boy, the kids must have gone wild for Bret Morrison. Probably put Ultimate Spinach over the top.
	4:25pm listener monica: lovely
	♥ 4:26pm Irwin: Really, it's a little embarrassing. Asking Grampa what he thinks of this new "rock" music all the youngsters love.
	4:26pm Carmichael: I remember when the flute was "in" in pop music. Good times ...
	♥ 4:27pm Irwin: "Burn and rob, burn and rob, rock and roll music made me burn and rob."
	♥ 4:27pm coelacanth∅: i think it odd that Tom had this particular guest....and then it turns out Bret's close-minded to the music Tom plays. he's not going to give it a chance.
	4:27pm Jeff: And this is "wild and wooly".
	♥ 4:28pm Irwin: Carm: Before Tull, you mean?
	♥ 4:28pm Irwin: And Tom, that was NOT a blues.
	4:29pm Carmichael: He he ... yeah, WAY before. And the flautist stood on his own two feet.
	4:29pm Parq: Not to get so cranky as to take this too seriously, but there is just about no critical comment more meaningless than saying a certain kind of music you don't like "all sounds the same." Here's a news flash - every genre of music there is, and the music of every artist in existence, all sounds the same to people who don't like it. Name your favorite genre or performer; now find someone who doesn't like it/him/her/them and you can bet the rent money that person thinks it all sounds the same.
	♥ 4:30pm Irwin: Parq: I wonder if Wilson, tho outwardly polite, was cringing during this interview?
	♥ 4:31pm Passaic River Blues: @coelacanth: right. I mean, it's not like people were banging down Bret's door in 1968, and Tom is playing him the sweetest, most anodyne pop and Bret's still like, "I wanna hear the Andrews Sisters!"
	4:32pm Jeff: Who knows what banality lurks in the hearts of men?
	4:36pm Lewis: the needle of truth poised over his forehead
	4:37pm Carmichael: The internet also says that Morrison was "a popular cabaret singer".
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: why didn't Tom play "sister ray" for Bret Morrison's critique?
	♥ 4:39pm Michael 98145: - as free rock and free jazz grow closer together -
	4:40pm Carmichael: Bret would hate the Cowsills, I'm sure.
	♥ 4:41pm Irwin: Next week on "Live at the Philharmonic" -- SOUPY SALES!
	4:42pm berbo: I saw Iggy Pop on the Mike Douglas show, and I think they had better chemistry.
	♥ 4:45pm Irwin: Ever see Gene Simmons with Totie Fields on the Douglas show? Historic encounter.
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth∅: someone i knew years ago told me she saw Iggy interviewed on a tv show, and when the host asked him what he's been up to, Iggy said something like " oh just sucking and licking mostly." i'd like to find footage of that one.
	4:50pm Parq: I remember reading a while back that there's a series of print ads out there in which Iggy endorses -- not making this up -- a line of shirts.
	4:51pm ChrisB.: Is this a preview of Irwin's interview with Sabu?
	4:52pm frenchee: crankeee crankee crankee
	♥ 4:53pm Irwin: Speaking of which, Sabu hasn't returned my last two calls. Hope he's OK. Will keep trying.
	4:54pm Carmichael: Tony Bourdain visited Iggy once on his newest series. He laughed that Iggy was selling cadillacs, is a vegetarian and rarely drinks.
	4:54pm frenchee: "every God is covered?"
	♥ 4:54pm ChrisB.: @Irwin: ooh. that's disconcerting.
	4:55pm Carmichael: Maybe he's mad at you, Irwin. Did you try and make a move on Connie Francis?
	♥ 5:05pm Michael 98145: film noir blowing
	5:06pm Jeff: Yeah, now I see a nighttime city street.
	♥ 5:07pm Michael 98145: she wants her cigarette lit
	5:08pm bill: i got all the Lee Morgan stuff on mono vinyl. sounds great
	♥ 5:09pm Irwin: This might be the last of the paintings from Hoffman's. Or could be one more. Can't recall if I shot five or six. [Insert Dirty Harry ref here.]
	5:09pm Laura L: Aw, maybe try that lady who's Sabu's agent and ask her if he's feeling better? One year Connie was performing at the San Gennaro Feast in my neighborhood--that's coming right up in Sept...
	5:10pm bill: irwin, is your lee morgan stuff in stereo or mono
	♥ 5:10pm Irwin: Classic Morgan set with Blakey, Tyner, McLean, Fuller, Cranshaw. All-star lineup.
	♥ 5:12pm Irwin: Bill - dunno. From various sources. Prob. mostly stereo, tho.
	♥ 5:12pm Michael 98145: great music
	5:17pm bill: you'd be surprised. a lot of the old blue note/impulse stuff that i own from cd does draw from mono masters
	♥ 5:19pm Irwin: I honestly haven't paid close enough attention. I don't even know if my opening theme is M or S. I just hear the performances and the compositions. And the DRUMS.
	5:21pm bill: i love yes i can no you can't. its so happy
	♥ 5:22pm Hoboken Jack: Sing it, Bent Knee!
	♥ 5:22pm Irwin: Just about every Lee Morgan track sounds like a party.
	5:24pm bill: i like the avant guard jazz more than the hard bop-but next to hubbard, i think morgan is technically the best player
	♥ 5:26pm Irwin: Donald Byrd is up there.
	♥ 5:26pm Michael 98145: loving this bent knee
	5:26pm Jeff: Bent knee have a bit too much of an Evanescence vibe for my liking
	5:28pm bill: Byrd is right up there and so is dizzy, but it depends. You have really fast guys like lee and don and dizzy, and then you have guyd like Bill Dixon and Miles, where it is more about carving out space
	5:28pm TehBadDr: This Trummors tune is rather awesome.
	♥ 5:29pm jkeigh: Saw Bent Knee Live a few years back. They're more like King Crimson than Evanescence
	5:29pm Listening Out There: Freddie Hubbard played out of tune a good deal. Trumpet is a difficult instrument. Dizzy Gillespie was probably the best bop trumpeter, IMO. (All the Charlie Parker sides...)
	5:30pm bill: don ellis too
	♥ 5:31pm Passaic River Blues: Really great set.
	♥ 5:35pm Ike: The difference is that scaring the shit out of children with a guy with a bayonet through his back is a worthwhile pursuit, while scaring the shit out of African-Americans with terrifying celebrations of Confederate bullshit is not. (Also, the guy with the bayonet through his back is Polish, so insert Polish joke here.)
	5:35pm Dean: Fair to say that Peter Evans manages to balance the poles of trumpet playing?
	♥ 5:36pm Irwin: Ike, I can always count on you to signal your virtue.
	♥ 5:38pm common: Well hello
	♥ 5:39pm Irwin: Note explaining your tardiness?
	♥ 5:41pm Irwin: BTW, apropos of nothing, fans of Kenny G (the "musician") should see ep 2 of the TJ Miller vehicle The Gorburger show. I'll withhold spoilers.
	♥ 5:43pm Ike: I'll signal your mom, you butt.
	♥ 5:44pm Irwin: They're talking about my dead mom on WFMU's comments board!
	♥ 5:45pm coelacanth∅: there are still fans of kenny g (the "musician")? i thought they all expired on the elevator to nowhere.
	5:46pm Dean: I'm a fan of Kenny G (the musician)'s "Forever in Love in Forever" remix.
	5:46pm TehBadDr: BTW did everybody see Andy's man tit's on FMU's front page? I mean, I figured he had man tits, but that's a rack most women would be proud to have!
	♥ 5:46pm coelacanth∅: here's another - along with the sublime Roberta Flack's, version that's not on the jukebox "that has everything" at the pub.
	5:47pm Laura L: Irwin, your mom is dead! So's mine! So there!
	5:47pm Parq: Nifty version of "What".
	♥ 5:47pm Michael 98145: wiki sez : "Kenny G's career started with a job as a sideman for Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1973."
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm chris: hi, Irwin and all. thanks for another great show, Irwin.
	♥ 5:48pm Michael 98145: yes, thank you again, Irwin
	♥ 5:50pm coelacanth∅: (...the same "internet jukebox, so it has everything" that doesn't have that Lee Morgan track OR yes i can, no you can't; but at least has sidewinder.)
	♥ 5:59pm Michael 98145: tickling is probably better than pinching yourself
	♥ 5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin
	♥ 6:00pm ⓘⓚⓔ: ROTFL, Irwin. Hey, let's combine Andy's rape jokes with Robert E. Lee statues somehow. But only if Robert E. Lee is the one getting it.
	♥ 6:00pm coelacanth∅: (Gene McDaniels)
	♥ 6:02pm Irwin: Thanks, coel. Flummoxed there on the surname.

	5:24pm bill: i like the avant guard jazz more than the hard bop-but next to hubbard, i think morgan is technically the best player
	♥ 5:26pm Irwin: Donald Byrd is up there.
	♥ 5:26pm Michael 98145: loving this bent knee
	5:26pm Jeff: Bent knee have a bit too much of an Evanescence vibe for my liking
	5:28pm bill: Byrd is right up there and so is dizzy, but it depends. You have really fast guys like lee and don and dizzy, and then you have guyd like Bill Dixon and Miles, where it is more about carving out space
	5:28pm TehBadDr: This Trummors tune is rather awesome.
	♥ 5:29pm jkeigh: Saw Bent Knee Live a few years back. They're more like King Crimson than Evanescence
	5:29pm Listening Out There: Freddie Hubbard played out of tune a good deal. Trumpet is a difficult instrument. Dizzy Gillespie was probably the best bop trumpeter, IMO. (All the Charlie Parker sides...)
	5:30pm bill: don ellis too
	♥ 5:31pm Passaic River Blues: Really great set.
	♥ 5:35pm Ike: The difference is that scaring the shit out of children with a guy with a bayonet through his back is a worthwhile pursuit, while scaring the shit out of African-Americans with terrifying celebrations of Confederate bullshit is not. (Also, the guy with the bayonet through his back is Polish, so insert Polish joke here.)
	5:35pm Dean: Fair to say that Peter Evans manages to balance the poles of trumpet playing?
	♥ 5:36pm Irwin: Ike, I can always count on you to signal your virtue.
	♥ 5:38pm common: Well hello
	♥ 5:39pm Irwin: Note explaining your tardiness?
	♥ 5:41pm Irwin: BTW, apropos of nothing, fans of Kenny G (the "musician") should see ep 2 of the TJ Miller vehicle The Gorburger show. I'll withhold spoilers.
	♥ 5:43pm Ike: I'll signal your mom, you butt.
	♥ 5:44pm Irwin: They're talking about my dead mom on WFMU's comments board!
	♥ 5:45pm coelacanth∅: there are still fans of kenny g (the "musician")? i thought they all expired on the elevator to nowhere.
	5:46pm Dean: I'm a fan of Kenny G (the musician)'s "Forever in Love in Forever" remix.
	5:46pm TehBadDr: BTW did everybody see Andy's man tit's on FMU's front page? I mean, I figured he had man tits, but that's a rack most women would be proud to have!
	♥ 5:46pm coelacanth∅: here's another - along with the sublime Roberta Flack's, version that's not on the jukebox "that has everything" at the pub.
	5:47pm Laura L: Irwin, your mom is dead! So's mine! So there!
	5:47pm Parq: Nifty version of "What".
	♥ 5:47pm Michael 98145: wiki sez : "Kenny G's career started with a job as a sideman for Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1973."
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm chris: hi, Irwin and all. thanks for another great show, Irwin.
	♥ 5:48pm Michael 98145: yes, thank you again, Irwin
	♥ 5:50pm coelacanth∅: (...the same "internet jukebox, so it has everything" that doesn't have that Lee Morgan track OR yes i can, no you can't; but at least has sidewinder.)
	♥ 5:59pm Michael 98145: tickling is probably better than pinching yourself
	♥ 5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin
	♥ 6:00pm ⓘⓚⓔ: ROTFL, Irwin. Hey, let's combine Andy's rape jokes with Robert E. Lee statues somehow. But only if Robert E. Lee is the one getting it.
	♥ 6:00pm coelacanth∅: (Gene McDaniels)
	♥ 6:02pm Irwin: Thanks, coel. Flummoxed there on the surname.
