	🎸 ♥ 3:04pm Phillippe Bastille: Great start Irwin. I never would've found this tune on my own.
	♥ 3:07pm Irwin: Wickham has a long storied career as a session player and finally issued his first albums as a leader in the past few years. It''s all great.
	3:08pm mauri: I thought he must be from beta band!
	♥ 3:10pm Hubig Pie: That Capparelli painting looks a bit like the art that comes out of the waddler room here at the daycare center
	3:10pm Listening Out There: Greetings Hi Hello...
	3:12pm Fredericks: Very impressive. Thanks for bring him to my attention.
	♥ 3:12pm Irwin: Steve Mason was in Beta Band. Same guy.
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm Phillippe Bastille: Ah, Alvvays! Thank you Irwin!
	♥ 3:15pm Hubig Pie: I Alvvays like dreamy pop songs. Hope her thing with Archie worked out
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm Phillippe Bastille: @HP alas, it did not once she realized he was just a Plimsoul punk...
	3:21pm editor_b: I really like Blueprint Blue!
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm Hoboken Jack: Irwin, Fredericks, all, hello!!
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm Hoboken Jack: Chief Wiggum?
	♥ 3:24pm Irwin: Howdy, neighbor. How come Hoboken lets bicycles ride in the double park lane?
	3:36pm WoodsOfNH: Every time I put this show on at home the wife says "He's not gonna play any Jandek, is he?"
	♥ 3:40pm Irwin: Not likely, Woods. Please assure the wife.
	3:41pm Sean d: Cute little slugs
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah that's a Seeds song (influenced in turn by Buddy Holly I'm told) ...& Mind Control Micah can give us details on Sky Saxon I reckon...
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm Phillippe Bastille: @Woodsof NH You're lucky your wife knows who Jandek is. Based on my bride's reactions, WFMU only plays 2 songs: "I like this" and "What are you listening to NOW?"
	♥ 3:45pm Spankyflop: @Phillippe: same here.
	3:46pm Dave Miss: Irwin, here’s a new one: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=RCpwN1d7as0
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey! NewHampshuh repreesent! Aside from Jandek there's NH's own Motern Media known only thru Irwin here... Goes well with doing laundry I find...GG Allin - Shaggs... we're clearly a cultural epicentre up here...
	3:48pm WoodsOfNH: Phillipe, I read Irwin's book and then bought several Jandek records. She has never forgiven him.
	3:50pm flashbazbo: That surprised me. I have to listen to Freddie freeloader and killer joe back to back. I think that there was a plan to swap Peter Lewis for Neil young at one point when stills had hits and Neil didn’t. Between the grape and the Springfield , an even swap. Neil was Ahmets Achilles heel.
	♥ 3:50pm Spankyflop: Actually it's almost always "What is this?". Her inflection changes depending on weather she loves it or hates it.
	♥ 3:57pm Irwin: How often have you wondered, "Whose car in the street is making those awful noises?"—then realized you had WFMU on at low volume?
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I find Food diet & Musical diet to be useful analogies to each other... Book 'This Is Your Brain On Music' posits that the appeal of Music to our brains lies much in the balance of Familiarity & Novelty... So - what happened to Us ??...
	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm Phillippe Bastille: @WoodsofNH Understood. I am a Level 4 Grudgeholder, so I know where she's coming from.
	4:07pm Fredericks: Miles Davis" Willie Nelson. You fooled me for a second. I tried to see if I heard a Willie Nelson song. I mean, a song Willie Nelson had written.
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'If you wish to follow the path of the saints - learn to forgive.' ...So - don't be born Scorpio...
	♥ 4:08pm Irwin: I don't know Willie's music much, only the title of this album. Is this ain't Willie?
	4:09pm Fredericks: Hello, Jack!
	4:11pm Fredericks: It is ain't, Irwin.
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ?? : www.academia.edu...
	4:16pm McGroovey: Who is Walter? Are we all Walter?
	♥ 4:16pm Irwin: Walter Nelson, Willie's imaginary bro.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Earth Air Fire & Walter
	4:20pm berbo: Emerson, Lake, and Walter
	4:21pm McGroovey: I only have one Laika record--an early 7" that I really liked. Somehow I never sought out anything else by them. most of my 7"s are in a trunk with stuff piled on top. I should get the stuff off and open that trunk.
	4:24pm Fredericks: This is Crazy?
	4:26pm Fredericks: I guess I don't really know Willie Nelson's music either.
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm G: It's Will's illusions I recall I really don't know Will, at all
	4:30pm Fredericks: I only know a little Willie. I don't know Willie well.
	4:32pm flashbazbo: Oooh. I remember Walter.
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Phillippe Bastille: Ahhh, when I used to like Genesis...
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm G: Can he fail, armed with his chocolate surprise?
	4:35pm zopa: expect the unexpected.
	4:36pm prudy: wow, haven't heard this in ages. And never heard Genesis on WFMU. Freeform forever!
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I find the reduction of everything to Walter to be a little Disney...
	4:37pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: It will one day be cool (again) to enjoy outmoded music- avoid the rush, go ahead and like Genesis, again or for the first time, today.
	♥ 4:38pm Irwin: This track is a drum showcase for Phil Collins.
	4:39pm Aaron from Baltimore: This is absolute rubbish! I love it!
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm G: Early/mid 70s Genesis -- one of Jonathan King's better discoveries. The Peterhouse connection...
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Kevin-san: And I used to own this on vinyl, when I was young and had no taste, ugh
	4:40pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: If reports are true, Mr. Collins is one of the world's wealthiest "rock" musicians, in a league with the likes of Sir Paul, Elton John and other super rich poppermost toppers.
	4:41pm McGroovey: Genesis lyrics would be profound if they meant anything. Kinda like "Surfin' Bird". Except you know up-front not to waste time figuring out if Surfin' Bird means anything.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like King Crimson before puberty...
	4:41pm prudy: yeah, I was just going to say, Phil is laughing all the way to the bank...
	♥ 4:41pm queems: i've heard way worse things on this station than genesis
	4:42pm McGroovey: But, to be clear, I'm glad you're playing it.
	4:43pm laughingacademy: Wow, I just realized Genesis was Panic! At the Disco's prog rock progenitor.
	♥ 4:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Damn! I'm all for it! Long live early Genesis!
	♥ 4:43pm Irwin: I just find his patterns mesmerizing. Wish he'd never stepped out in front of the kit.
	♥ 4:44pm Roberto: "By the Pound" might be my most-played album during my college years.
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Agree re Phil & drumkits.
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm G: Even after he began doing vocals, he still popularized gated drums, which was pretty big in the 80s and ended up kind of overused.
	4:44pm prudy: not ashamed to say I still appreciate some pieces from Trick of the Tail...
	♥ 4:44pm Roberto: sry haytrz
	4:44pm zopa: @irwin: agreed. he helped genesis swing.
	4:44pm Brendan: Beautiful drumming on this album
	♥ 4:44pm Carmichael: He's left handed too, which may change his phrasing.
	♥ 4:45pm Carmichael: Left-handed playing a right-handed set, I believe.
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - like Ringo...
	♥ 4:47pm Irwin: Phil Collins was a drummer. Ringo was a Beatle.
	4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ok...but we know what Phil would say about that...
	♥ 4:50pm queems: i love peter gabriel's singing
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm G: On Yes discussion boards back in the day, arguing drummers was big (Bruford v White), and often working/touring drummers would chime in. Quite a few of them seem to firmly believe that Ringo was considerably underrated because of his goofball persona in the group mix.
	4:52pm Ochre Ochre: Hey Irwin, just listened to "Selling England" the other day, one of the best prog albums. Agreed, always thought Collins should have stayed behind the kit.
	♥ 4:53pm queems: i'm working on my art piece right now :)
	4:54pm prudy: I have to say representations of rock icons is not the most exciting idea...but whatever, if it raises money for the station, great.
	♥ 4:55pm queems: @prudy same, i've been wondering if people are going to want to buy straight up portraits of famous people
	4:56pm prudy: I humor plays a significant part of whatever is produced...
	4:57pm prudy: I mean I hope...
	♥ 4:57pm queems: i made sure to play that up in mine
	♥ 4:58pm common: Irwin, all
	4:59pm Ochre Ochre: Bowie with Eno and Elvis... Bonovis?
	♥ 5:01pm blee: oh man, Gillian Welch. Love this album.
	♥ 5:04pm Irwin: Welch has a compelling voice.
	♥ 5:06pm mariano: If it was just Elvis and Bowie it could be Elbow, but can't quite get Eno to fit in there.
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Phillippe Bastille: I really bought into Gillian's persona when she first hit the scene. Was a bit dismayed to learn that she was from LA and her father wrote music for variety tv shows.
	♥ 5:09pm blee: There's still plenty of wide open country outside of downtown L.A. I'm just going to pretend she's up in the mountains of Idylwild now.
	5:09pm zopa: that's showbiz
	5:09pm Ochre Ochre: @mariano- Haw! And it would be a portrait of each one's elbow.
	♥ 5:13pm mariano: Well, I guess it's better than Bowel ;)
	♥ 5:16pm Carmichael: I saw a Richard Thompson/Loudon Wainwright tour called Rich and Loud.
	5:17pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Are the actual Fountains of Wayne still in existence? The place, not the band.
	♥ 5:18pm queems: nope, fountains of wayne is closed
	♥ 5:19pm Irwin: Years ago.
	5:20pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Thanks queems. I guess it's been longer than I thought since I traveled to dear old Passaic County.
	5:21pm Ochre Ochre: @G Weren't a lot of rock drummers goofballs? Thus helping keep tensions down with humor and antics within the band. Ringo, I know Collins did, extreme example Keith Moon.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull - yerknow...Therr Beatles woulda had some kinda decent Catalog of consequence ...if that goofball Bongo hadn't of ruined them all w/ the Bad Drumming...
	5:22pm spodiodi: lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Phillippe Bastille: Didn't Tony Soprano shop at Fountains of Wayne?
	♥ 5:23pm mariano: This Say Sue Me is reminding me a lot of someone else... Beach Fossils? Aaaargh, can't figure it out!
	5:24pm Ochre Ochre: @mariano- Juliana Hatfield?
	♥ 5:27pm mariano: @Ochre Ochre: that's probably it, thanks!
	5:30pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Phillippe Bastille, don't know about that but I do know he caused a mountain of garbage to be dumped in my in-laws neighborhood that time the sanitation workers went on strike!
	♥ 5:31pm Irwin: SSM has a touch of Japanese Breakfast. They're Korean, and the singer of JB is half-Korean.
	5:31pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: (also in Passaic)
	♥ 5:33pm queems: greetings from passaic county
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Phillippe Bastille: @Itzall Fertilizer for the Garden State I guess
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Cecil.
	5:40pm Mister Dobalina: Nicely played, Irwin....nice played.
	5:41pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Haha. Yeah, it all ends up as somebody's tomatoes.
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Phillippe Bastille: Ah ha! Found it! (and now I will have to work until 6:30 tonight...) www.sopranos-locations.com...
	♥ 5:46pm common: Very nice!
	5:50pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Thank you Irwin, for another fine program.
	♥ 5:52pm Irwin: Thank you all for your patience, tolerance, good humor, and forbearance. Nice shoes, too.
	♥ 5:52pm Carmichael: OK, this is the kind of guitar weirdness I like. Must look up.
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Irwin
	♥ 5:53pm Irwin: Todd Reynolds is a violinist. Very eclectic catalog.
	♥ 5:54pm mariano: Wow, that Stereolab was live, huh? Interesting. The times I've seen them live they were always much louder and rockier than on the albums.
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx always IC.
	♥ 5:59pm mariano: Thanks Irwin, bye all!

	♥ 4:53pm queems: i'm working on my art piece right now :)
	4:54pm prudy: I have to say representations of rock icons is not the most exciting idea...but whatever, if it raises money for the station, great.
	♥ 4:55pm queems: @prudy same, i've been wondering if people are going to want to buy straight up portraits of famous people
	4:56pm prudy: I humor plays a significant part of whatever is produced...
	4:57pm prudy: I mean I hope...
	♥ 4:57pm queems: i made sure to play that up in mine
	♥ 4:58pm common: Irwin, all
	4:59pm Ochre Ochre: Bowie with Eno and Elvis... Bonovis?
	♥ 5:01pm blee: oh man, Gillian Welch. Love this album.
	♥ 5:04pm Irwin: Welch has a compelling voice.
	♥ 5:06pm mariano: If it was just Elvis and Bowie it could be Elbow, but can't quite get Eno to fit in there.
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Phillippe Bastille: I really bought into Gillian's persona when she first hit the scene. Was a bit dismayed to learn that she was from LA and her father wrote music for variety tv shows.
	♥ 5:09pm blee: There's still plenty of wide open country outside of downtown L.A. I'm just going to pretend she's up in the mountains of Idylwild now.
	5:09pm zopa: that's showbiz
	5:09pm Ochre Ochre: @mariano- Haw! And it would be a portrait of each one's elbow.
	♥ 5:13pm mariano: Well, I guess it's better than Bowel ;)
	♥ 5:16pm Carmichael: I saw a Richard Thompson/Loudon Wainwright tour called Rich and Loud.
	5:17pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Are the actual Fountains of Wayne still in existence? The place, not the band.
	♥ 5:18pm queems: nope, fountains of wayne is closed
	♥ 5:19pm Irwin: Years ago.
	5:20pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Thanks queems. I guess it's been longer than I thought since I traveled to dear old Passaic County.
	5:21pm Ochre Ochre: @G Weren't a lot of rock drummers goofballs? Thus helping keep tensions down with humor and antics within the band. Ringo, I know Collins did, extreme example Keith Moon.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull - yerknow...Therr Beatles woulda had some kinda decent Catalog of consequence ...if that goofball Bongo hadn't of ruined them all w/ the Bad Drumming...
	5:22pm spodiodi: lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Phillippe Bastille: Didn't Tony Soprano shop at Fountains of Wayne?
	♥ 5:23pm mariano: This Say Sue Me is reminding me a lot of someone else... Beach Fossils? Aaaargh, can't figure it out!
	5:24pm Ochre Ochre: @mariano- Juliana Hatfield?
	♥ 5:27pm mariano: @Ochre Ochre: that's probably it, thanks!
	5:30pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Phillippe Bastille, don't know about that but I do know he caused a mountain of garbage to be dumped in my in-laws neighborhood that time the sanitation workers went on strike!
	♥ 5:31pm Irwin: SSM has a touch of Japanese Breakfast. They're Korean, and the singer of JB is half-Korean.
	5:31pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: (also in Passaic)
	♥ 5:33pm queems: greetings from passaic county
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Phillippe Bastille: @Itzall Fertilizer for the Garden State I guess
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Cecil.
	5:40pm Mister Dobalina: Nicely played, Irwin....nice played.
	5:41pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Haha. Yeah, it all ends up as somebody's tomatoes.
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Phillippe Bastille: Ah ha! Found it! (and now I will have to work until 6:30 tonight...) www.sopranos-locations.com...
	♥ 5:46pm common: Very nice!
	5:50pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Thank you Irwin, for another fine program.
	♥ 5:52pm Irwin: Thank you all for your patience, tolerance, good humor, and forbearance. Nice shoes, too.
	♥ 5:52pm Carmichael: OK, this is the kind of guitar weirdness I like. Must look up.
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Irwin
	♥ 5:53pm Irwin: Todd Reynolds is a violinist. Very eclectic catalog.
	♥ 5:54pm mariano: Wow, that Stereolab was live, huh? Interesting. The times I've seen them live they were always much louder and rockier than on the albums.
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx always IC.
	♥ 5:59pm mariano: Thanks Irwin, bye all!
