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.

I saw Traffic perform at the Fillmore East back in April 1968!

Hey Mailman Tom - that is VERY cool. Was that first or second album time?
Avatar 8:09pm
bigplanetnoise:

Here's that single version with the crazy Neil Young solo! So much wylder than the more common LP version!

It was during their 2nd album time.

So - check this Byrds track. This is the single version. It's the ONLY place where you hear the shakers. They're NOT on the mono LP!
Avatar 8:13pm
bigplanetnoise:

Something I missed when I did all the reissues.

I can't remember when I last heard "My Girlfriend is a Witch," but man is it so great!

Mailman Tom:

Didn't October Country have a hit with a song titled, "October Country"?
Avatar 8:18pm
bigplanetnoise:

It was a single by them. I'm not sure about the hit-status though!
Avatar 8:18pm
bigplanetnoise:

It was also recorded by Michael Lloyd with his band Smoke, on their amazing LP on Sidewalk.

bigplanetnoise:

Ron Asheton tone on that guitar.

Mailman Tom:

I think it bubbled under the Hot 100 for a week or two. It was played on NYC FM radio back in the day.
Avatar 8:30pm
bigplanetnoise:

That's very cool. Now I want to do a bubbling-under show.
  8:30pm
Andy R:

OK, clear something up for me if you can. I've always been curious. Did they just dub his version over The Count Five's backing track?
Avatar 8:31pm
bigplanetnoise:

I don't think so, at least not in its entirety. There are parts that absolutely sound that they appear in both versions, but there's more new than old overall.. There. I think I just cleared up absolutely nothing for you.
Avatar 8:32pm
bigplanetnoise:

Like that LOUD organ part.
Avatar 8:34pm
bigplanetnoise:

Love the vocal in this.
  8:34pm
Andy R:

I think I like the mystery of that track's existence even more now.
Avatar 8:35pm
bigplanetnoise:

You have the album? Mono is kind of tough.
  8:38pm
Andy R:

I do. I have a stereo copy of it. I bought it years ago...I think at an antique mall in the area. I love "Gimmie Little Sign" and was so happy to find it, but was thrown for a loop when I saw "Psychotic reaction" on the track list. I didn't know they shared a label till I got a 45 of Count Five's version maybe two years later.
Avatar 8:39pm
bigplanetnoise:

Fiercest version EVER.
  8:41pm
Andy R:

That was a find at Lost and Found, they label 45s to note if they're from Nuggets. They've had a few of those roll through there lately.

Good evening! Great show! really dug hearing that Clouds track. Been a long time!
  8:44pm
Andy R:

Various titles from Nuggets 1--the box set version. I grabbed "Nobody But Me," and "Sit Down I Think I Love You" last time I was there. Sit Down is little rough, but Nobody sounds SO PERFECT! I also nabbed a "She's About A Mover" 45 there.

I love them both. The Couple that runs Wild Honey are so sweet. I've found a few of my holy grail titles there. Last year on RSD I picked up some really clean Spanky and Our Gang LPs I was missing there.

I think finding the Raiders car model sealed it. I have no idea where the model is right now. In an unopened box for the last two years, obviously.

You need to display that!

It needs some repairs. Miss Kitty used to try and sit in it when she was a kitten. She knocked poor Paul right outta his seat!

I need more of the albums in Mono, only one I have in Mono is "Spirit Of '67" but I have most of the catalog in Stereo.
