The core of Big Planet Noise was formed when Bob Irwin was just 5 years old. The day he picked up his first 45, the whole thing set to spinning – and records and music have been pretty much all he’s thought about ever since. Avocation eventually became vocation, leading to Sundazed Music and Modern Harmonic, all drawing inspiration from Bob’s legendary collection. But, what good is having so many records if no-one else can hear them with you?


Big Planet Noise is Bob’s way of inviting everyone over to hang out in the music room while he and co-host Gina Bacon flip through the stacks and play great records. And – the BPN chat room is where the action is… they yak about what’s on the turntable, tell stories, backstories, and share what was had for dinner, friends ’n family style. Gina keeps the celestial orbit steady-as-it-goes; making sure the stylus stays in the groove, the stacks don’t teeter and the drinks don’t spill all over the console. NB: Gina can also be heard on Saturday afternoons as the host of Someday Matinee (also on WFMU's Give The Drummer Radio stream), a show filled with live musical performances and artist interviews, direct from Music City.


There’s a reason it’s called Big Planet Noise… the show covers a lot of musical ground; familiar, forgotten, unheralded, unheard… The sonic menu is ever-changing; you’ll hear oddball teens, psychedelic wizards, mod lads, sitar savants, space-cadets, groovy soundtracks, and maybe even some bossa nova, when it feels right.

Hey Bob and Gina, how many Dave Berry singles did London release? I have a few but I know I don't have this gem!
Avatar 8:37pm
bigplanetnoise:

Hmmm... I have three or four. Not sure if there's more. This was the flip of The Crying Game, if I remember correctly, Ronnie.
Avatar 8:39pm
Ronnie Dark:

I'm gonna have to check after the show.
Avatar 8:40pm
bigplanetnoise:

Yeah - all those Dave Berry 45s on London were mostly pressed on styrene. Play them five times, throw em out and go find another copy....
  8:44pm
Snayle:

Gosh 66 was such a fab year for music.... all these tunes are amazing... the Big Planet wayback machine has been working overtime diggin' up all these gems ! Thank You !
Avatar 8:45pm
bigplanetnoise:

Thanks, Snayle! Yeah - I got called out last week for talking about 1966.... Someone thought that I was claiming that every single song I played in a certain set was from '66. Um, no. But it WAS the best year EVER for music.
Avatar 8:46pm
bigplanetnoise:

I'm happy to cover all the great stuff from '64-'69 - and still say that '66 was the best!
  8:47pm
Snayle:

Thanks Bob -- you got it right... Had No Milk on a single and can't find it... the pic sleeve was so cool. Herman's backing band will be The Smithereens this summer... should be cool pairing.

But there's just so much stuff that we take for granted that everyone knows.... And then hear someone in a record store say they've never heard anything by the Lovin' Spoonful, and it gives me rewind....

Kinks rule, I was fortunate to have seen them in a small theatre in NYC around 75
