WFMU: Irene Trudel: Playlist from September 29, 2015

Listener comments!
	♥ 9:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: This is, if not my favorite song of all time, definitely top 5. The first time I heard it I had to stop what I was doing and just sit there and listen.
	♥ 9:04pm Tome: ahhhh ,, Irene in the Evening ! [ headphones back in the chair ]
	♥ 9:06pm Bronwyn Bishop: Yay, Bill Fay!
	9:07pm herb.nyc: Hi all. Excuse me as I post this NICK GARRIE thing now (bec later, I'll need to use the iPhone app and that will certainly fail). My pal Jack Rabid does the Big Takeover mag & he alerted us- "watch Nick G's show at Tonic". This be June 2006. But he played Other Music night before tonic & I went. I loved it. After, I told Nick "look at the Big T on the rack, yr record is reviewed". He does so, makes biiig smile, then calls to his friend "hey, looky here, I'm in this magazine!". Next night, I introduce him to jack. this be TEN years ago!
	9:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm told there's Lee Hazelwood that's not so good. I haven't heard it.
	♥ 9:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: This is so brilliant
	♥ 9:09pm Bronwyn Bishop: And now Scott! Irene, I don't know if you intentionally put together all of my favorite things in this set, but I appreciate it all the same.
	♥ 9:10pm Irene Trudel: Good tunes comin' you way, Bronwyn, Tome, herb.nyc, and Rev. Rabbit (and everybody tuning in)! Yeah, Bronwyn, every so often "Some Velvet Morning" just gets under my skin and I gotta play it. Herb, So glad you told us your Nick Garrie story. He was brilliant a few weeks ago at the tiny club I saw him at, even though the sound was terrible and some patrons didn't give a damn who was up there. Glad to send this set your way tonight!
	♥ 9:15pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love this too!
	♥ 9:17pm Bronwyn Bishop: Yay, Brel! Have I told y'all about the Jacques Brel-songs-in-purgatory show I'm directing at school? I probably have...
	9:21pm Linda Lee: amazing set so far, Irene. amazing. incredibly comfortable.
	9:22pm Linda Lee: i've heard nothing about the Brel show, Bronwyn.
	♥ 9:25pm melinda: This set is flowing really well!
	9:25pm Van in DC: Hi Irene, hi everyone. Got stuck in DC traffic
	♥ 9:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Linda: I wrote a play/musical thing about a bar that turns out to be purgatory and all the characters tell the stories of their lives so that the bartender can judge whether they deserve to go to heaven or hell. The show features Brel's songs, which are used as the way the characters tell their stories. It's happening in December at my school (Ithaca College).
	♥ 9:26pm Bronwyn Bishop: Aw, I love Harry Nilsson!
	9:27pm Linda Lee: @Bronwyn, that sounds brilliant. not just sayin so. how's it going?
	9:27pm Van in DC: Irene - thanks for the pics after the fact from live performances
	♥ 9:28pm Irene Trudel: No, Bronwyn, I hadn't heard about your Brel show. Thanks for the info. And Hi Linda and Van!
	♥ 9:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thanks :) it's going really well! Imagine a bunch of earnest college freshmen learning Brel songs and you have an idea of what my semester has been like. Introducing his songs to a 2015 student body is important to me.
	9:29pm Linda Lee: thanks so much for this set, Irene. perfect for this very rainy night.
	9:30pm Linda Lee: so they're receptive? comprehending?
	9:30pm Van in DC: I saw the Super Blood Moon over the DC music fest . Daughter was there. Awesome.
	9:31pm Linda Lee: @Van .. sounds lovely!
	9:32pm Van in DC: @Linda, thanks, it was spectacular
	♥ 9:33pm Mike East: I had a harvest moon party and made a "pin the earth's shadow on the moon" game for my daughters and nieces...but I missed the actual eclipse.
	♥ 9:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Linda: You mean the cast? Yeah, they like the songs, although they're finding them difficult to sing. They like that they're not your typical songs you sing in a musical. They're smarter, funnier, and more dramatic, and it's a great opportunity for them to step out of their comfort zone.
	9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Listening to an episode of the Beatles-themed podcast 'Fab 4 Free 4 All' about Lennon's best vocals - & they were musing on the influence his pal Nilsson might have had on his singing. Makes sense!...
	9:34pm Van in DC: What got me deeply when seeing Daughter live... in their videos, Elena, the lead singer, never ever smiles or makes eye contact with the camera. Live? holy cow. She is so so so sweet. Massive smiles and eye contact. So shy!
	♥ 9:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: Actually performing it might be a different story, I hope people like it when they actually come see it.
	9:36pm Linda Lee: can't be a bad thing to step outside the zone .. especially as a young person. @ Mike .. sounds like you were doing the right thing.
	9:37pm Linda Lee: @Van .. i'm such a philistine i thought you meant you were at the festival with your progeny! i'll have to see what you mean about this band ..
	9:39pm Van in DC: @Linda - Please look them up on the Youtubes. ESPECIALLY the Air Studio in London five set gig they did in April 2014 with I think a 10 piece orchestra. Amazing. 4AD label artists by the way.
	♥ 9:39pm Mike East: this is live?! that can't be right...can it?
	♥ 9:41pm Mike East: no...it is not.
	9:41pm Van in DC: Daughter is from London. I bet Nick knows of them.
	9:42pm Linda Lee: i will definitely look them up!
	♥ 9:43pm melinda: That first song fit really nicely with the previous set. This one is lovely too.
	♥ 9:43pm Irene Trudel: Mike, it was live in August. He was in town for a few shows. Thanks to Gary Olsen of Ladybug Transistor for getting him to the studio for me!
	9:43pm Linda Lee: truly lovely. can't help thinking of Nick Drake.
	9:43pm Van in DC: Truly, and I reserve this, but Elena is a musical goddess.
	9:44pm herb.nyc: Me goose bumpy
	9:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminds me of John Cale - voice mostly. What a rich playlist this has been...
	9:44pm Linda Lee: we need our goddesses. i've got to see her!
	9:45pm Linda Lee: Cale, yes, of course.
	♥ 9:45pm melinda: @Rev Rabbit: John Cale, yes!
	9:46pm Van in DC: Daughter. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:47pm Linda Lee: no saying how he'd feel about these impressions .. that his sound recalls others so well ..
	♥ 9:48pm Mike East: @Irene - I was referring to the first Nick Garrie track you played which was clearly an album cut...I was confused cuz it was under the "live performance" heading, yet I heard strings among other instruments that I wouldn't have expected in an in studio performance. Then it faded out, and I figured it out. I'm easily confused. What a great track that is, though! Thanks for leading with it.
	9:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock: "What does 'Psychedelic' mean? If someone comes down the stairs in the morning & says the coffee grounds in his cup are 'Psychedelic' - that's what it means'...
	9:51pm Linda Lee: well.. the utube is something i'll have to access when i'm at a better spot .. only dialup here on the mountain .. only able to do one thing at a time. if that.
	9:53pm Linda Lee: i'll be happy if this storm doesn't knock the power out.
	9:53pm Van in DC: Hey Nick! Play Landmark Fest DC next year! The very first one just ended (went all weekend with over 40 acts over like 6 stages). Daughter and Ben Howard were there! The Lone Bellow were there! and a lot others...
	♥ 9:55pm Irene Trudel: Ah, I see Mike. Definitely an album track, but it "sets the scene" for Nick's interview. Rev. Rabbit, Mr. Hitchcock always seems to have the perfect description for the unexplainable.
	9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - well Robyn emphasizes being a Surrealist - which I think Nick just did too ?...
	9:59pm Van in DC: Oooh pics, nice.
	10:01pm Van in DC: So the silent fund raiser is poised to start? You know I already have you with a head start Irene, because, you are simply the BESTEST.
	10:02pm Van in DC: How tall is Nick? 6' 4" maybe?
	♥ 10:05pm Irene Trudel: I think he is over 6ft. tall, maybe not 6'4" though. All I know is he towered over my 5'5" frame!
	10:07pm P-90: Joining in late, glad I didn't miss all the good stuff.
	10:08pm Linda Lee: great to see you both!
	10:08pm Van in DC: If you could have one wish for a single day, what would it be? Mine might well be to be tall. It is absolutely true that us short nice guys are doomed. DOOMED.
	10:11pm JakeGould: Hello. Humid and rainy in NYC, but I’m not complaining.
	10:14pm bobdoesthings: weirdly cool and yet the humidity keeps cutting in.. hey irene! just chiming in..
	10:16pm Van in DC: Maybe I would wish that I could eat endless banana splits for an entire day and not gain a single calorie.
	10:16pm JakeGould: @bobdoesthings: It’s the kind of weather that makes you feel like you have a cold coming on.
	10:17pm Van in DC: I speak some Thai...
	10:19pm Van in DC: Okay, so written in Bangkok, but I thought might have some Thai in it. Nope.
	10:21pm Van in DC: Carding people for drinking is now way out of common sense in the US. Sorry Nick.
	♥ 10:25pm Mike East: this was great. Beautiful music, charming fellow. kept me from banging my head against the wall since I thought I would be home by now instead of still waiting for some guy to stop diddling on a piano in the studio at work.
	10:30pm Van in DC: I like this one
	10:35pm Van in DC: A PSA? I'll give you a PSA. muted .......
	♥ 10:36pm Mike East: Jacco Gardner, Os Mutantes, and Nick Garrie...and more...that's some bill.
	10:38pm Van in DC: One of the first artists I ever remember hearing and knowing who they were.
	10:38pm listening out there: Cat Stevens. Switching to another stream...
	10:41pm JakeGould: Whatever, “listening out there.”
	10:43pm Van in DC: I hate when music gets political.
	10:44pm Van in DC: OMG. Roy Harper!!
	♥ 10:45pm Mike East: wow, just looked up the rest of that Utrecht listing...so many amazing bands playing!
	10:47pm Van in DC: For the record, early Cat Stevens? Fine. Later? Yikes.
	♥ 10:49pm Mike East: ok, this guy finally wrapped in the studio, so I'm headin' to Penn station...hoping the rains don't pour down so I don't have to waste money on a cab. Thanks for a great show, Irene. This really was a particularly good one and clicky star worthy for sure. peace.
	♥ 10:50pm Irene Trudel: "Catch Bull at Four" was the Last Cat Stevens album I liked. But here and there some of his recent songs have been nice.
	10:50pm Van in DC: Clicky start. I've never ever done that even once. NOT EVEN FOR KATE BUSH. Seems like a scam or something.
	10:51pm Van in DC: Clicky star I meant.
	10:53pm Van in DC: Recent from Cat Stevens? Was that like... 1978?
	10:54pm JakeGould: That track is from 1971, yo… Prime Cat Stevens.
	10:54pm Van in DC: I mean... Cat Stevens doesn't exist after, what, 1975 or so? 78? 80?
	♥ 10:54pm melinda: I first heard Which Will covered by Lucinda Williams, didn't know it was a Nick Drake song.
	10:55pm Van in DC: Windham Hill artist Lucinda Williams. I love that label.
	10:57pm Van in DC: At least I think she is. I wonder if Irene has ever played anyone from Windham Hill?
	10:58pm Van in DC: DAUGHTER! DAUGHTER! DAUGHTER! THANKS IRENE!!!!
	11:00pm Van in DC: Elena is just so magical.
	♥ 11:00pm Irene Trudel: She does have a lovely voice. Glad you like it!
	11:01pm Van in DC: I don't like. I LOVE!!
	11:02pm Van in DC: Incredible
	11:04pm Van in DC: If I were to clicky anything, you KNOW i would have that one by Daughter.
	11:05pm Van in DC: yes, @Ohdaughter on twitter too.
	11:06pm Clay: Francis Lai ... he did the music for Love Story! Enjoying, Irene ... :>)
	11:07pm Van in DC: Irene - your tip just went way up again :)
	11:08pm P-90: EVERYone loved "Teaser". Then: played to death, as you say. A shame.
	♥ 11:11pm redkayak: Hi all - Tuning in late, I'm afraid!
	♥ 11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Remember Black Sea Hotel? Dan Bodah played one of their songs on his Vocal Fry program yesterday.
	11:13pm Van in DC: Enjoying this
	11:14pm The Deflater: Bill ... BelaChick?
	♥ 11:14pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Clay! As you probably heard, Nick wrote some music with Francis Lai. Hi P-90, redkayak, and Ken. I haven't had a chance to hear Dan's new program. Glad he played Black Sea Hotel. Not enough people know about them!
	11:15pm Van in DC: Sounds like Daughter ;)
	11:17pm Wiki-Fact: This Chick Bela record was the #6 jazz release of 2007.
	♥ 11:18pm Irene Trudel: Not this one, Wiki-Fact. "Two" is brand new.
	♥ 11:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Mike East - A neat composite picture of the eclipse you missed: apod.nasa.gov...
	11:21pm Van in DC: It's lovely. Needs more Sitar.
	11:22pm WikiFact: OK then ... The capital of Nebraska is Lincoln.
	11:22pm Van in DC: Oooh... Sitar?
	11:23pm Van in DC: No, for a moment there... Anoushka Shankar?!!! Ravi?!!
	11:23pm Mac Daniel: Hi Irene.
	♥ 11:24pm melinda: Part of this sounds sort of like Green Rocky Road. Nice.
	11:24pm Mac Daniel: While this pretty music plays, how was Brian's show with Mr. Rotten today?
	11:26pm KP: Beautiful stuff tonight, Irene
	11:26pm Van in DC: Hi KP
	♥ 11:28pm Irene Trudel: No, Van, this is just a demo, so the guitars aren't tightly mic'd. Does sound a little sitar-like. Mac, I don't know how the interview with Mr. Lydon/Rotten went. I was at work. Have to catch it on the archives.
	11:30pm KP: Hiya Van
	11:31pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Good morning Irene, hello one and all
	11:31pm Van in DC: I realized it wasn't Sitar...but if anyone is interested, oh my goodness, go to the youtubes and look up Anoushka Shankar and Joshua Bell together. Wowzers. EPIC.
	11:32pm Van in DC: Sean! WFMU programmer extraordinaire! Hi!
	11:34pm Van in DC: Coltrane DID rule.
	11:34pm KP: I heard about 20 minutes of Mr. Rotten and Mr. Turner and had to run. Funny, interesting. Will also get back to it.
	11:34pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Hey Van, I am still in seventh heaven after last weekend's epic result, October baseball, whoo-hoo!
	11:35pm Van in DC: @Sean ... and @Irene ... congrats. and... GO METS!!! .... from a Braves fan.
	♥ 11:36pm Irene Trudel: Thanks, KP, and Hi Sean! Everybody, send Sean some birthday wishes (it's on Wednesday, which it already is in the U.K.)
	11:37pm Van in DC: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!!!!!
	♥ 11:37pm redkayak: Happy Birthday Sean - and many happy returns of the day :)
	11:38pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Thank you Irene, thanks folks
	11:38pm Mac Daniel: Jon Stewart must be so weirdly happy now. @mets
	11:40pm Van in DC: Sean, you MISSED DAUGHTER!! Oh, okay, please replay on archive and listen to Elena :) Actually since they are from London, Sean might know of them.
	11:42pm Sean in Bristol, UK: @Van, will be downloading the show to catch up shortly, looking forward to hearing Daughter

	11:42pm Mac Daniel: Wow. Soundtrack in my head. This is pretty music.
	11:46pm JakeGould: Lovely show on a weirdly humid yet cold yet rainy night in NYC, Irene.

	11:48pm Van in DC: Nicely done
	11:48pm Sean in Bristol, UK: TODD, thanks Irene,

	11:51pm CLIME in Oakland: Hi Irene, are you going to make it to Hardly Strictly this year ?
	11:53pm Van in DC: Such a fantastic show Irene. Many many thanks. As always.
	♥ 11:54pm Irene Trudel: I'm afraid not this year, CLIME. I have a family thing in November out your way, so we needed to save money by not taking the trip then. hope it's a great one! I think They usually stream a couple of stages, so I may be able to see some of it.
	♥ 11:55pm Irene Trudel: Thanks everyone! Glad you joined me tonight. Catch you next week!
	11:57pm KP: Thank you Irene!

Live Performance and chat with Nick Garrie
After recording a Baroque pop masterpiece in the late 60's, "The Nightmare of J.B. Stanislas," Nick Garrie and the album seemingly disappeared when the distribution deal collapsed. But that is far from the end of Nick's story. He continued to write charmingly catchy songs, occasionally collaborating with songwriter Francis Lai, and eventually topped the charts in Spain with a tune in the 1980's. "Stanislas" was finally reissued in 2005, and Garrie tours here and there. Nick Garrie was in NYC for one of those rare shows and Irene brought him into the studio for some live performance and chat.

	♥ 9:33pm Mike East: I had a harvest moon party and made a "pin the earth's shadow on the moon" game for my daughters and nieces...but I missed the actual eclipse.
	♥ 9:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Linda: You mean the cast? Yeah, they like the songs, although they're finding them difficult to sing. They like that they're not your typical songs you sing in a musical. They're smarter, funnier, and more dramatic, and it's a great opportunity for them to step out of their comfort zone.
	9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Listening to an episode of the Beatles-themed podcast 'Fab 4 Free 4 All' about Lennon's best vocals - & they were musing on the influence his pal Nilsson might have had on his singing. Makes sense!...
	9:34pm Van in DC: What got me deeply when seeing Daughter live... in their videos, Elena, the lead singer, never ever smiles or makes eye contact with the camera. Live? holy cow. She is so so so sweet. Massive smiles and eye contact. So shy!
	♥ 9:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: Actually performing it might be a different story, I hope people like it when they actually come see it.
	9:36pm Linda Lee: can't be a bad thing to step outside the zone .. especially as a young person. @ Mike .. sounds like you were doing the right thing.
	9:37pm Linda Lee: @Van .. i'm such a philistine i thought you meant you were at the festival with your progeny! i'll have to see what you mean about this band ..
	9:39pm Van in DC: @Linda - Please look them up on the Youtubes. ESPECIALLY the Air Studio in London five set gig they did in April 2014 with I think a 10 piece orchestra. Amazing. 4AD label artists by the way.
	♥ 9:39pm Mike East: this is live?! that can't be right...can it?
	♥ 9:41pm Mike East: no...it is not.
	9:41pm Van in DC: Daughter is from London. I bet Nick knows of them.
	9:42pm Linda Lee: i will definitely look them up!
	♥ 9:43pm melinda: That first song fit really nicely with the previous set. This one is lovely too.
	♥ 9:43pm Irene Trudel: Mike, it was live in August. He was in town for a few shows. Thanks to Gary Olsen of Ladybug Transistor for getting him to the studio for me!
	9:43pm Linda Lee: truly lovely. can't help thinking of Nick Drake.
	9:43pm Van in DC: Truly, and I reserve this, but Elena is a musical goddess.
	9:44pm herb.nyc: Me goose bumpy
	9:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminds me of John Cale - voice mostly. What a rich playlist this has been...
	9:44pm Linda Lee: we need our goddesses. i've got to see her!
	9:45pm Linda Lee: Cale, yes, of course.
	♥ 9:45pm melinda: @Rev Rabbit: John Cale, yes!
	9:46pm Van in DC: Daughter. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:47pm Linda Lee: no saying how he'd feel about these impressions .. that his sound recalls others so well ..
	♥ 9:48pm Mike East: @Irene - I was referring to the first Nick Garrie track you played which was clearly an album cut...I was confused cuz it was under the "live performance" heading, yet I heard strings among other instruments that I wouldn't have expected in an in studio performance. Then it faded out, and I figured it out. I'm easily confused. What a great track that is, though! Thanks for leading with it.
	9:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock: "What does 'Psychedelic' mean? If someone comes down the stairs in the morning & says the coffee grounds in his cup are 'Psychedelic' - that's what it means'...
	9:51pm Linda Lee: well.. the utube is something i'll have to access when i'm at a better spot .. only dialup here on the mountain .. only able to do one thing at a time. if that.
	9:53pm Linda Lee: i'll be happy if this storm doesn't knock the power out.
	9:53pm Van in DC: Hey Nick! Play Landmark Fest DC next year! The very first one just ended (went all weekend with over 40 acts over like 6 stages). Daughter and Ben Howard were there! The Lone Bellow were there! and a lot others...
	♥ 9:55pm Irene Trudel: Ah, I see Mike. Definitely an album track, but it "sets the scene" for Nick's interview. Rev. Rabbit, Mr. Hitchcock always seems to have the perfect description for the unexplainable.
	9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - well Robyn emphasizes being a Surrealist - which I think Nick just did too ?...
	9:59pm Van in DC: Oooh pics, nice.
	10:01pm Van in DC: So the silent fund raiser is poised to start? You know I already have you with a head start Irene, because, you are simply the BESTEST.
	10:02pm Van in DC: How tall is Nick? 6' 4" maybe?
	♥ 10:05pm Irene Trudel: I think he is over 6ft. tall, maybe not 6'4" though. All I know is he towered over my 5'5" frame!
	10:07pm P-90: Joining in late, glad I didn't miss all the good stuff.
	10:08pm Linda Lee: great to see you both!
	10:08pm Van in DC: If you could have one wish for a single day, what would it be? Mine might well be to be tall. It is absolutely true that us short nice guys are doomed. DOOMED.
	10:11pm JakeGould: Hello. Humid and rainy in NYC, but I’m not complaining.
	10:14pm bobdoesthings: weirdly cool and yet the humidity keeps cutting in.. hey irene! just chiming in..
	10:16pm Van in DC: Maybe I would wish that I could eat endless banana splits for an entire day and not gain a single calorie.
	10:16pm JakeGould: @bobdoesthings: It’s the kind of weather that makes you feel like you have a cold coming on.
	10:17pm Van in DC: I speak some Thai...
	10:19pm Van in DC: Okay, so written in Bangkok, but I thought might have some Thai in it. Nope.
	10:21pm Van in DC: Carding people for drinking is now way out of common sense in the US. Sorry Nick.
	♥ 10:25pm Mike East: this was great. Beautiful music, charming fellow. kept me from banging my head against the wall since I thought I would be home by now instead of still waiting for some guy to stop diddling on a piano in the studio at work.
	10:30pm Van in DC: I like this one
	10:35pm Van in DC: A PSA? I'll give you a PSA. muted .......
	♥ 10:36pm Mike East: Jacco Gardner, Os Mutantes, and Nick Garrie...and more...that's some bill.
	10:38pm Van in DC: One of the first artists I ever remember hearing and knowing who they were.
	10:38pm listening out there: Cat Stevens. Switching to another stream...
	10:41pm JakeGould: Whatever, “listening out there.”
	10:43pm Van in DC: I hate when music gets political.
	10:44pm Van in DC: OMG. Roy Harper!!
	♥ 10:45pm Mike East: wow, just looked up the rest of that Utrecht listing...so many amazing bands playing!
	10:47pm Van in DC: For the record, early Cat Stevens? Fine. Later? Yikes.
	♥ 10:49pm Mike East: ok, this guy finally wrapped in the studio, so I'm headin' to Penn station...hoping the rains don't pour down so I don't have to waste money on a cab. Thanks for a great show, Irene. This really was a particularly good one and clicky star worthy for sure. peace.
	♥ 10:50pm Irene Trudel: "Catch Bull at Four" was the Last Cat Stevens album I liked. But here and there some of his recent songs have been nice.
	10:50pm Van in DC: Clicky start. I've never ever done that even once. NOT EVEN FOR KATE BUSH. Seems like a scam or something.
	10:51pm Van in DC: Clicky star I meant.
	10:53pm Van in DC: Recent from Cat Stevens? Was that like... 1978?
	10:54pm JakeGould: That track is from 1971, yo… Prime Cat Stevens.
	10:54pm Van in DC: I mean... Cat Stevens doesn't exist after, what, 1975 or so? 78? 80?
	♥ 10:54pm melinda: I first heard Which Will covered by Lucinda Williams, didn't know it was a Nick Drake song.
	10:55pm Van in DC: Windham Hill artist Lucinda Williams. I love that label.
	10:57pm Van in DC: At least I think she is. I wonder if Irene has ever played anyone from Windham Hill?
	10:58pm Van in DC: DAUGHTER! DAUGHTER! DAUGHTER! THANKS IRENE!!!!
	11:00pm Van in DC: Elena is just so magical.
	♥ 11:00pm Irene Trudel: She does have a lovely voice. Glad you like it!
	11:01pm Van in DC: I don't like. I LOVE!!
	11:02pm Van in DC: Incredible
	11:04pm Van in DC: If I were to clicky anything, you KNOW i would have that one by Daughter.
	11:05pm Van in DC: yes, @Ohdaughter on twitter too.
	11:06pm Clay: Francis Lai ... he did the music for Love Story! Enjoying, Irene ... :>)
	11:07pm Van in DC: Irene - your tip just went way up again :)
	11:08pm P-90: EVERYone loved "Teaser". Then: played to death, as you say. A shame.
	♥ 11:11pm redkayak: Hi all - Tuning in late, I'm afraid!
	♥ 11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Remember Black Sea Hotel? Dan Bodah played one of their songs on his Vocal Fry program yesterday.
	11:13pm Van in DC: Enjoying this
	11:14pm The Deflater: Bill ... BelaChick?
	♥ 11:14pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Clay! As you probably heard, Nick wrote some music with Francis Lai. Hi P-90, redkayak, and Ken. I haven't had a chance to hear Dan's new program. Glad he played Black Sea Hotel. Not enough people know about them!
	11:15pm Van in DC: Sounds like Daughter ;)
	11:17pm Wiki-Fact: This Chick Bela record was the #6 jazz release of 2007.
	♥ 11:18pm Irene Trudel: Not this one, Wiki-Fact. "Two" is brand new.
	♥ 11:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Mike East - A neat composite picture of the eclipse you missed: apod.nasa.gov...
	11:21pm Van in DC: It's lovely. Needs more Sitar.
	11:22pm WikiFact: OK then ... The capital of Nebraska is Lincoln.
	11:22pm Van in DC: Oooh... Sitar?
	11:23pm Van in DC: No, for a moment there... Anoushka Shankar?!!! Ravi?!!
	11:23pm Mac Daniel: Hi Irene.
	♥ 11:24pm melinda: Part of this sounds sort of like Green Rocky Road. Nice.
	11:24pm Mac Daniel: While this pretty music plays, how was Brian's show with Mr. Rotten today?
	11:26pm KP: Beautiful stuff tonight, Irene
	11:26pm Van in DC: Hi KP
	♥ 11:28pm Irene Trudel: No, Van, this is just a demo, so the guitars aren't tightly mic'd. Does sound a little sitar-like. Mac, I don't know how the interview with Mr. Lydon/Rotten went. I was at work. Have to catch it on the archives.
	11:30pm KP: Hiya Van
	11:31pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Good morning Irene, hello one and all
	11:31pm Van in DC: I realized it wasn't Sitar...but if anyone is interested, oh my goodness, go to the youtubes and look up Anoushka Shankar and Joshua Bell together. Wowzers. EPIC.
	11:32pm Van in DC: Sean! WFMU programmer extraordinaire! Hi!
	11:34pm Van in DC: Coltrane DID rule.
	11:34pm KP: I heard about 20 minutes of Mr. Rotten and Mr. Turner and had to run. Funny, interesting. Will also get back to it.
	11:34pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Hey Van, I am still in seventh heaven after last weekend's epic result, October baseball, whoo-hoo!
	11:35pm Van in DC: @Sean ... and @Irene ... congrats. and... GO METS!!! .... from a Braves fan.
	♥ 11:36pm Irene Trudel: Thanks, KP, and Hi Sean! Everybody, send Sean some birthday wishes (it's on Wednesday, which it already is in the U.K.)

	11:38pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Thank you Irene, thanks folks
	11:38pm Mac Daniel: Jon Stewart must be so weirdly happy now. @mets

	11:42pm Mac Daniel: Wow. Soundtrack in my head. This is pretty music.
	11:46pm JakeGould: Lovely show on a weirdly humid yet cold yet rainy night in NYC, Irene.

	11:48pm Van in DC: Nicely done
	11:48pm Sean in Bristol, UK: TODD, thanks Irene,

	11:51pm CLIME in Oakland: Hi Irene, are you going to make it to Hardly Strictly this year ?
	11:53pm Van in DC: Such a fantastic show Irene. Many many thanks. As always.
	♥ 11:54pm Irene Trudel: I'm afraid not this year, CLIME. I have a family thing in November out your way, so we needed to save money by not taking the trip then. hope it's a great one! I think They usually stream a couple of stages, so I may be able to see some of it.
