The DJ Irene "Live" experience! Still getting used to it. Good Evening all. Blustey day in NY/NJ.

Usually offline well before now. Must sign off and catch archives when I can, but wanted to say "hi!" in real time for once and send special shout-outs to Van and to Sean in UK. Sean, kiitos for your kind Christmas card and be on the lookout for a packet arriving soon on your side of the Pond! ♥

(P.S.: I heard that BD is covering FS. Will surely be an interesting Valentine! :)

Your music is so special tonight. Really beautiful show. Did you used to be on in the afternoon? Love the W.C. Fields clip, too!
It's such a nasty night, my flight back to NJ was cancelled so I'm listening to you from Chicago, where it's snowing!

Jeff:

I'm still getting used to the idea of the Evening Irene, but y'know, I think it's an idea which really works. It's a good hour for Irene sort of energy (at least for me as a listener); I hope you're feeling comfortable in this slot.

You did used to be on in the afternoon--you dug up that Carl Sagan remix when I mentioned it, remember? You sound good no matter what time you're on, anyway!

You always provide a wonderful soundtrack for whatever time and day it is and it always feels like home when I hear your voice, but I'm really digging catching the whole show uninterrupted and from home.
Avatar 9:52pm
Van in DC:

To be completely fair and transparent, I will always err on the side of Irene's show though.

Against anybody's.

So there's that.

It is lonely here. This time of year, ladyfleep has to play elf to her boss, a show business potentate, who lavishes gifts on his famous clients. She spends long late hours wrapping and shipping expensive stuff none of them really need. So you are my company. And this music is warm and comforting.

Yikes. Sorry but I quite do not agree with Station Manager Ken doing a great show....not unless he's playing The Only Song for three hours.

I just started listening to Gravenhurst because one of you guys played it recently.

I have NEVER understood at all Station Manager Ken's musical tastes. At all. Sorry but true. I just can't listen to his show.
Avatar 10:17pm
Van in DC:

......and I'm about the most eclectic musical listening person you are ever likely to encounter.

Well, considering this place, maybe not. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Van: Some hosts here are super eclectic, whereas others are not. SM Ken is...completely and thoroughly SM Ken. No matter how eclectic you might measure his programming to be, he's still completely Ken all the time.

Hope that paradox was half-coherent... :)

And, of course there are exceptions to every exception to every rule, as a rule. Some episodes and items on Ken's show I have quite enjoyed over the years. My $0.02. YMMV.

I've tried. But during Ken's show? Great time for catching up on Archive! :) (for me)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

Some live shows just gotta yield to Archives - otherwise how would you catch up and re-listen to the great moments here!
(Since Dave Hill's on Monday now, BT's show might make a great new Wed morning Archive...)
Avatar 10:24pm
Van in DC:

Honesty for me, Ken's show is this: Play bizzaro music you have never heard of while posting the same animated gif's already posted a million times before.

I don't think Ken has ever played a single musical artist I like. Not one.

Totally in Agreement, Blinky! What a great show. Good to see Dave Schramm with them too. (For those who didn't get to see them, it was at Town Hall in NYC Dec. 4th.)

wendy del formaggio:

Hi Van, hi Matt!
Irene, I'm jealous! I've been seeing much on social media from that show. What a line-up! Last October I saw The Feelies for the first time, at The Sinclair in Boston. Excellent venue. Belock was there -- always a pleasure to see that fella!
