	3:30pm Dean from Texas: Oh, I loved this from the 80's
	3:31pm melinda: Hello Irwin and listeners
	3:32pm Dean from Texas: A bit like syd straw from the golden palaminos
	3:34pm Wild Neil: PEACE All. Warm Leatherette reminds me of a song I used to hear on Morning Becomes Eclectic all the time, it went "Hands Around My Throat"....it was kinda like WL. Death in Vegas. @Dean-Syd Straw, Celluloid Records, saw them open for The Fabulous Thunderbirds in NY at the Felt Forum. 1986?
	♥ 3:34pm JtotheK: (still hasn't seen the 'Theory of Obscurity' film about The Residents. would like to.)
	3:36pm melinda: I haven't seen the Residents film either.
	♥ 3:37pm The Oscar: I love that both sides of this single have been played today.
	♥ 3:38pm BnowB: Great show as always! Thanks Irwin.
	♥ 3:38pm The Oscar: Also Theory of Obscurity is pretty great-- depending on which theories you subscribe to regarding their identities, it may be the closest we'll ever get to an autobiographical tell-all.
	3:38pm Laura L: Dean from Texas, me too--loved that from the 80s, and am also from Texas (left the Lone Star State for NYC 1982). The Residents film is fun, but of course!
	3:39pm flashbazbo: Rodd is gods
	♥ 3:39pm Asheville Jon: this is swingin'!
	3:40pm zopa: All is forgiven, Eddie.
	3:40pm MONEYBAG$: I hope those lyrics were all improvised
	3:40pm flashbazbo: Godd. 3 attempts wouldn't do
	3:41pm flashbazbo: Sorry that sounded exactly like rodd Keith
	3:42pm Sean B.: Saw the Residents Movie a while back....it's exactly what you would expect from them = awkward , somewhat twisted insane humor where nothing is off limits...then just add music. Cant believe I just heard Constantinople. Man haven't heard that in a long time. awesome.
	3:44pm melinda: I like the bed music.
	♥ 3:45pm Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: was just thinking the same thing.
	3:52pm Wild Neil: Modern Lovers song?
	3:52pm berbo: yup
	3:53pm melinda: Neil I was just trying to remember where I heard it before. That's it.
	3:53pm Blob Dobbs: Wow, that was totally Debsey Wykes doing some vocals on that Captain Sensible song!
	♥ 3:55pm Irwin: Is she from Dolly Mixture?
	3:56pm Wild Neil: @Melinda-sometimes I surprise my wife by being able to id a song on the radio. I just say, it's nothing, I just listen to WFMU for years. She thinks I'm some kind of musical expert, but I just was exposed to a lot of music, that's all...WFMU DJs are the REAL experts in my book.
	3:56pm Blob Dobbs: Yep, and Birdie, St. Etienne, etc. Looks like they had a professional relationship according to the internet
	3:57pm Wild Neil: Irwin this show is REALLY all over the place today in a good way. Wow. Glad you are playing some sublime Jazz by Mr. Sun Ra.
	♥ 3:57pm steveo: really enjoying sun ra, yep
	♥ 3:59pm Passaic River Blues: The Sun Ra cut was lovely.
	4:01pm melinda: @Neil yeah, if you listen to FMU enough you can impress people.
	♥ 4:02pm Mark Hurst: Sounded good here!
	♥ 4:03pm Asheville Jon: that was the best EAS test i've heard in a long time!
	♥ 4:06pm Irwin: I declare this Freddie Scott recording one of the greatest singles in history.
	♥ 4:06pm steveo: yeah so good
	♥ 4:07pm Kat in Chicago: Yay, the Shams!
	♥ 4:07pm steveo: In 1962, [Freddie Scott] worked with fellow songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King on their song "Hey, Girl", recording a demo for singer Chuck Jackson. When Jackson failed to turn up to a recording session, Scott recorded the song himself, and, when eventually released by the Colpix label some months later, it rose to no. 10 on both the pop and R&B charts. [wikipedia]
	♥ 4:08pm Kat in Chicago: also belated yay for Madder Rose
	4:08pm andrewb: Not to name drop but, one of my sisterinlaw's bride's maids is the brother of one of the guys in thinking fellers union.
	♥ 4:10pm Irwin: Laura L is conflicted by this Chevy song.
	4:10pm Laura L: AAAIIIEEEE! Jam Handy Calypso Collision!
	♥ 4:12pm steveo: this is the longest advertisement I've ever heard on WFMU!
	4:14pm V Priceless: hey Irwin and all! The Move always moves me out of the woodwork! Yay!
	♥ 4:15pm Kat in Chicago: andrewb: guys can be bridesmaids now? I must be behind the times.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Alison Porchnik: Ok, I can send you the pillow but you already know that I drool.
	♥ 4:30pm steveo: epic intro
	4:30pm Listening Out There: Everyone who listens to WFMU drools...
	♥ 4:31pm steveo: might as well face it you're addicted to drool
	4:33pm cosmic matrix: oooh big drums I wonder if they were recorded in that hallway with the giant TUBE like the power station hit "some like it hot"
	4:34pm cosmic matrix: those ghost notes!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: hmm, very interesting...
	4:37pm andrewb: Robert Palmer did a not terrible 5 episode"history of Rock" on PBS. I liked how he pretty much circled the development of funk around Bootsie .
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: well, one of my favorite Tom Petty songs is a b-side that most would call a throwaway. ("gator on the lawn")
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth∅: ...but i do like some other Robert Palmer
	♥ 4:41pm steveo: would it be wrong to tell my family i'm working late then just sit here and stare out the window and listen to the rest of irwin's show?
	♥ 4:43pm coelacanth∅: only if it would hurt them. - just tell them to turn on wfmu to keep busy until you get home. they'll forget all about you.
	4:46pm Laura L: Steveo, why not just tell them: I'm going to sit here and stare out the window and listen to the rest of Irwin's show and see you later.
	♥ 4:49pm steveo: THE TRUTH? Now, why didn't I think of that? In reality though, and I'll be leaving at 5 so Irwin, feel free to do an hour of dead air after that.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: i've always told what i thought was the truth; look where it's gotten me? ..yeah you better lie.
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm chris: Shoooooobeeeee
	♥ 4:58pm steveo: thanks for the great music irwin; I'm gonna check out a bit of shooby then scram (don't tell coela)
	4:59pm zopa: I was hoping against hope that there would be more Shooby today. Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 5:02pm Irwin: I'll bet Hoboken Jack has tuned out to watch The All Rise Seasonal Showcase.
	5:03pm Dean: I met Rich (LaBonte) & Famous on Hollywood Blvd. a l-o-n-g time ago.
	♥ 5:05pm Irwin: Old friends, love 'em both, still in touch. She married Richard Foos, one of the founders of Rhino (the store and label).
	5:06pm Dean: Foos! A member of The Low Numbers!
	5:06pm zopa: Thanks for the reminder, Irwin. I'm on the West Coast and will listen to Sterling, Waldman, AND Irwin simultaneously.
	5:07pm Dean: Rhino was a marvelous store, as was Aaron's. So many good ones from those days are gone.
	♥ 5:13pm coelacanth∅: still 2 rhino stores near me. (one close; one not far) they're good, but there's another local record store that's preferable.
	♥ 5:14pm Irwin: zopa: Sterling and Waldman are who got me out of the habit of listening to the Bombers on radio. Can't stand either of them. Bring back Tommy Hutton and Hank Greenwald!
	5:14pm Dean: The large Westwood store is long gone, is it not? The one in Claremont? Still there, maybe?
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Alison Porchnik: Wastepaper Basket Fire!
	♥ 5:15pm coelacanth∅: the closer one has moved twice since i've lived in the area; each time smaller. the current store is smaller than some people's shoe closets. when they were in the first of the 3 i saw some good free shows there. (including yo la tengo, around 2001?)
	♥ 5:15pm Passaic River Blues: John Sterling is a crime.
	5:15pm zopa: Irwin: They are polarizing figures for sure. My wife misses Rizutto.
	♥ 5:16pm Irwin: THE SCOOTER!!!
	5:16pm Dean: There's a good record featuring Nels Cline and Thurston Moore improvising at the Westwood store.
	♥ 5:17pm Barney Grubbs: one in claremont's still there.( I've still got way too many 7"s and used cds I got there early 90s that are now far from their original homes)
	5:18pm Dean: This one reminds me to dig out and play my Barry Goldwater prexy campaign LP.
	5:18pm Listening Out There: The Claremont Rhino is the only one I've been to. I'm on the left coast...
	5:20pm Cal Zone!: Super Duper Show Irwin!
	♥ 5:21pm coelacanth∅: anyway it's a franchise, no? so they must vary greatly from store to store.
	♥ 5:22pm coelacanth∅: (or - we could just listen to the muriel's treasure archives)
	5:22pm Dean: Never considered that, @coelacanth. Explains a lot.
	5:25pm Dean: Rich gave me their Neutron Star record when I met them c.'78. Still have it.
	♥ 5:26pm Michael 98145: there has been so much, little-played music to enjoy this week
	♥ 5:29pm Irwin: But very few pledges. I got one from a cat during this program (thanks, Amos!), but NO HUMANS.
	♥ 5:32pm common: hello cats
	5:32pm Amos: you're meowcome
	♥ 5:34pm Irwin: Amos has good taste, which is rare in a cat. Have you ever tasted cat food? (Go ahead, make jokes.)
	♥ 5:36pm Michael 98145: [ i don't think i've ever been -that- stoned ]
	5:36pm zopa: What is smarter than a talking cat? A spelling bee!
	5:42pm TehBadDr: Doubling down on Shop Assistants! Nice!
	5:44pm TehBadDr: Hey, do those tiny little cd singles count?
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: Jamaican singles were typically off-center
	5:45pm Dean: Or, as I posted earlier today on Mary Wing's show, you drill four eccentric holes into the record and let the wonderful noise emerge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CCB59CTZmM&feature=youtu.be
	♥ 5:45pm Michael 98145: speaking of stoned
	♥ 5:47pm Michael 98145: @Dean, wow
	5:47pm Dean: It's a doozy, isn't it? Buddy of mine did it many years ago, well before I met him.
	♥ 5:50pm coelacanth∅: Dean that's amazing! i'm mad at myself for not thinking of it.
	5:52pm Dean: Boyd Rice (aka NON) did it on his first record, i.e., he included an eccentric hole. My buddy's "Baker Street," however, is a labor of love and careful analog tending. Heh, Slonimsky. Still another buddy of mine, one of Ernst Toch's grandsons, knew him. Call me Kevin Bacon.
	♥ 5:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin. I enjoyed your Shooby Taylor special on Vocal Fry the other night. www.wfmu.org... I never would've known about him otherwise.
	5:54pm cat: I knew about shobby cuz I lived in a warehouse in Newark
	5:54pm Dean: (I once interviewed Kevin Bacon's personal assistant. True.)
	5:55pm cat: *shooby I mean it was auto incorrect screwing me up
	♥ 5:55pm Michael 98145: (thanks to WFMU we all now have a somewhat connection to Mr Bacon :)
	5:57pm Dean: I studied Bacon in college as an undergraduate, continued with four Masters, and finally a Ph.D. Six degrees.
	♥ 5:57pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Irwin
	5:58pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin!
	♥ 5:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): I once yelled at and waved at Kevin Bacon in the diamond district about 15 years ago. He was crossing the street and I yelled out of my van window, "HEY KEVIN!" He waved without looking and ducked into a limo. Great guy.
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth∅: i only study bacon from afar.
	♥ 5:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): Thanks for the mind melt, @Dean! Thanks for the good tunes, Irwin!
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm chris: thanks, Irwin!
	♥ 5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin
	6:02pm Listener Robert: I'd no idea about Ms. Boule! Thought you'd lost touch w her entirely. Was it someone else who brought her death to your att'n? What'd she die of?

When Jackson failed to turn up to a recording session, Scott recorded the song himself, and, when eventually released by the Colpix label some months later, it rose to no. 10 on both the pop and R&B charts. [wikipedia]
	♥ 4:08pm Kat in Chicago: also belated yay for Madder Rose
	4:08pm andrewb: Not to name drop but, one of my sisterinlaw's bride's maids is the brother of one of the guys in thinking fellers union.
	♥ 4:10pm Irwin: Laura L is conflicted by this Chevy song.
	4:10pm Laura L: AAAIIIEEEE! Jam Handy Calypso Collision!
	♥ 4:12pm steveo: this is the longest advertisement I've ever heard on WFMU!
	4:14pm V Priceless: hey Irwin and all! The Move always moves me out of the woodwork! Yay!
	♥ 4:15pm Kat in Chicago: andrewb: guys can be bridesmaids now? I must be behind the times.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Alison Porchnik: Ok, I can send you the pillow but you already know that I drool.
	♥ 4:30pm steveo: epic intro
	4:30pm Listening Out There: Everyone who listens to WFMU drools...
	♥ 4:31pm steveo: might as well face it you're addicted to drool
	4:33pm cosmic matrix: oooh big drums I wonder if they were recorded in that hallway with the giant TUBE like the power station hit "some like it hot"
	4:34pm cosmic matrix: those ghost notes!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: hmm, very interesting...
	4:37pm andrewb: Robert Palmer did a not terrible 5 episode"history of Rock" on PBS. I liked how he pretty much circled the development of funk around Bootsie .
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: well, one of my favorite Tom Petty songs is a b-side that most would call a throwaway. ("gator on the lawn")
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth∅: ...but i do like some other Robert Palmer
	♥ 4:41pm steveo: would it be wrong to tell my family i'm working late then just sit here and stare out the window and listen to the rest of irwin's show?
	♥ 4:43pm coelacanth∅: only if it would hurt them. - just tell them to turn on wfmu to keep busy until you get home. they'll forget all about you.
	4:46pm Laura L: Steveo, why not just tell them: I'm going to sit here and stare out the window and listen to the rest of Irwin's show and see you later.
	♥ 4:49pm steveo: THE TRUTH? Now, why didn't I think of that? In reality though, and I'll be leaving at 5 so Irwin, feel free to do an hour of dead air after that.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: i've always told what i thought was the truth; look where it's gotten me? ..yeah you better lie.
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm chris: Shoooooobeeeee
	♥ 4:58pm steveo: thanks for the great music irwin; I'm gonna check out a bit of shooby then scram (don't tell coela)
	4:59pm zopa: I was hoping against hope that there would be more Shooby today. Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 5:02pm Irwin: I'll bet Hoboken Jack has tuned out to watch The All Rise Seasonal Showcase.
	5:03pm Dean: I met Rich (LaBonte) & Famous on Hollywood Blvd. a l-o-n-g time ago.
	♥ 5:05pm Irwin: Old friends, love 'em both, still in touch. She married Richard Foos, one of the founders of Rhino (the store and label).
	5:06pm Dean: Foos! A member of The Low Numbers!
	5:06pm zopa: Thanks for the reminder, Irwin. I'm on the West Coast and will listen to Sterling, Waldman, AND Irwin simultaneously.
	5:07pm Dean: Rhino was a marvelous store, as was Aaron's. So many good ones from those days are gone.
	♥ 5:13pm coelacanth∅: still 2 rhino stores near me. (one close; one not far) they're good, but there's another local record store that's preferable.
	♥ 5:14pm Irwin: zopa: Sterling and Waldman are who got me out of the habit of listening to the Bombers on radio. Can't stand either of them. Bring back Tommy Hutton and Hank Greenwald!
	5:14pm Dean: The large Westwood store is long gone, is it not? The one in Claremont? Still there, maybe?
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Alison Porchnik: Wastepaper Basket Fire!
	♥ 5:15pm coelacanth∅: the closer one has moved twice since i've lived in the area; each time smaller. the current store is smaller than some people's shoe closets. when they were in the first of the 3 i saw some good free shows there. (including yo la tengo, around 2001?)
	♥ 5:15pm Passaic River Blues: John Sterling is a crime.
	5:15pm zopa: Irwin: They are polarizing figures for sure. My wife misses Rizutto.
	♥ 5:16pm Irwin: THE SCOOTER!!!
	5:16pm Dean: There's a good record featuring Nels Cline and Thurston Moore improvising at the Westwood store.
	♥ 5:17pm Barney Grubbs: one in claremont's still there.( I've still got way too many 7"s and used cds I got there early 90s that are now far from their original homes)
	5:18pm Dean: This one reminds me to dig out and play my Barry Goldwater prexy campaign LP.
	5:18pm Listening Out There: The Claremont Rhino is the only one I've been to. I'm on the left coast...
	5:20pm Cal Zone!: Super Duper Show Irwin!
	♥ 5:21pm coelacanth∅: anyway it's a franchise, no? so they must vary greatly from store to store.
	♥ 5:22pm coelacanth∅: (or - we could just listen to the muriel's treasure archives)
	5:22pm Dean: Never considered that, @coelacanth. Explains a lot.
	5:25pm Dean: Rich gave me their Neutron Star record when I met them c.'78. Still have it.
	♥ 5:26pm Michael 98145: there has been so much, little-played music to enjoy this week
	♥ 5:29pm Irwin: But very few pledges. I got one from a cat during this program (thanks, Amos!), but NO HUMANS.
	♥ 5:32pm common: hello cats
	5:32pm Amos: you're meowcome
	♥ 5:34pm Irwin: Amos has good taste, which is rare in a cat. Have you ever tasted cat food? (Go ahead, make jokes.)
	♥ 5:36pm Michael 98145: [ i don't think i've ever been -that- stoned ]
	5:36pm zopa: What is smarter than a talking cat? A spelling bee!
	5:42pm TehBadDr: Doubling down on Shop Assistants! Nice!
	5:44pm TehBadDr: Hey, do those tiny little cd singles count?
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: Jamaican singles were typically off-center
	5:45pm Dean: Or, as I posted earlier today on Mary Wing's show, you drill four eccentric holes into the record and let the wonderful noise emerge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CCB59CTZmM&feature=youtu.be
	♥ 5:45pm Michael 98145: speaking of stoned
	♥ 5:47pm Michael 98145: @Dean, wow
	5:47pm Dean: It's a doozy, isn't it? Buddy of mine did it many years ago, well before I met him.
	♥ 5:50pm coelacanth∅: Dean that's amazing! i'm mad at myself for not thinking of it.
	5:52pm Dean: Boyd Rice (aka NON) did it on his first record, i.e., he included an eccentric hole. My buddy's "Baker Street," however, is a labor of love and careful analog tending. Heh, Slonimsky. Still another buddy of mine, one of Ernst Toch's grandsons, knew him. Call me Kevin Bacon.
	♥ 5:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin. I enjoyed your Shooby Taylor special on Vocal Fry the other night. www.wfmu.org... I never would've known about him otherwise.
	5:54pm cat: I knew about shobby cuz I lived in a warehouse in Newark
	5:54pm Dean: (I once interviewed Kevin Bacon's personal assistant. True.)
	5:55pm cat: *shooby I mean it was auto incorrect screwing me up
	♥ 5:55pm Michael 98145: (thanks to WFMU we all now have a somewhat connection to Mr Bacon :)
	5:57pm Dean: I studied Bacon in college as an undergraduate, continued with four Masters, and finally a Ph.D. Six degrees.
	♥ 5:57pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Irwin
	5:58pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin!
	♥ 5:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): I once yelled at and waved at Kevin Bacon in the diamond district about 15 years ago. He was crossing the street and I yelled out of my van window, "HEY KEVIN!" He waved without looking and ducked into a limo. Great guy.
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth∅: i only study bacon from afar.
	♥ 5:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): Thanks for the mind melt, @Dean! Thanks for the good tunes, Irwin!
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm chris: thanks, Irwin!
	♥ 5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin
	6:02pm Listener Robert: I'd no idea about Ms. Boule! Thought you'd lost touch w her entirely. Was it someone else who brought her death to your att'n? What'd she die of?
