Matt from Springfield:

Of course that cat ain't comin' back -- he's already got his prey. How ya doin' Irwin?
  3:11pm
Irony We're Not Sorry About:

El Ten Eleven, voted best the band for 2010 and '11 by Irony Magazine!
  3:13pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

where's the anticipation? instant gratification--the downfall of America.
  3:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ahh, there it is. Pots are always hot with Amanda, especially as percussion.
  3:15pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: Just as Hitchcock became increasingly frustrated with viewers searching for his "cameos", Irwin seems to be following in his footsteps and putting Amanda's appearance upfront at the beginning.
  3:16pm
don:

preach on pink lemonade!
  3:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

Oh man, Pink Lemonade should have been Amanda's opening act! How old is this kid?
  3:19pm
seang:

The Black Cracker! this dude kicks major butt
  3:20pm
Cannon:

I really thought that piano bit was going to be "Year of the Cat."
  3:21pm
Parq:

"Imagine a creature that has the agility and appetite of the cat and the mass of an industrial refrigerator," Vaillant tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer.

To think, I was led to that sentence by Irwin's playlist.
  3:21pm
PMD:

It was awful early to pull out Amanda... not that I minded.
  3:22pm
Cannon:

Amanda might do an encore. Or a dozen.
  3:25pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

time to write the great American road novel, Kerouac
  3:30pm
slugluv1313:

CUTE TIGER!!!!!!! (ahhhhhhhhh, MUNCHIN' on some human snacks, i see! yum yum!)
  3:31pm
still b/p:

Comments funny with that NPR book report...so many talkin' about "Yay, tiger...Go, tiger!"

Hunter in these parts was attacked the other day by a bear he'd just shot.
  3:33pm
Smokey:

What do you expect when you shoot a bear?
  3:36pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

you probably expect it to die like a good bear, but bears are unpredictable that way
  3:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

No BS--just that B&S.
  3:39pm
still b/p:

Irksa Major.
  3:47pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

what was I doing while the new B&S was playing? totally missed that one.
  3:49pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

here's some BS for ya, Matt!
  3:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

Bettie Sartvarte!
@DCE: Running from a shot bear (Irksa Major) is a valid excuse for missing B&S, but only if you promise to return to the Archives when the chase has ended.
  3:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

2 for 2! Another afternoon, another great Hawkwind song!
  3:56pm
Cheri Pi:

Hawkwind is sounding like the Only Ones here-I DIG!
  3:56pm
Denise in DC:

"Quarks, Strangeness and Charm!" I don't think I've heard this song since the mid-80s. Thanks, Irwin!
  3:56pm
Mike East:

Does anyone know of any Sly and the Family Stone DVD's of live concert footage? I swear I've seen some amazing footage of them, but nothing compiled in a single collection.
  3:57pm
Richard Feynman:

I love this Hawkwind song.
  3:59pm

You sarky bastard!

Tommy and I just love Gen Orange, he gets so excited when it comes on! YES!! I could eat him up!
  4:04pm

Stu Spasm would have been an even better follow up to the song-poem!
  4:05pm

This is trippy!
  4:05pm
Geraldine:

Amen, brother!
  4:06pm

Damn, he sounds like Jim Morrison.

At least on my tinny work-computer speakers.
  4:12pm
Matt from Springfield:

Irwin on WFMU -- New Power Pop's Best Refuge!
  4:18pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this is actually the first time I'm hearing anything off this record. It's supposed to be popular or something.
  4:18pm
Matt from Springfield:

Why suffer "the hardness" -- there's Real Life, and then there's WFMU!
Now without Aspertine!
  4:19pm
Karl Marx:

"WFMU is the opiate of the selective weirdos who should know better, but instead listen to wailing about...Concrete Nipples?"
  4:20pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

yes! we are all Marxists now!

Irwin, re Gen Orange - "Gen Orange were part of the Focolare Movement, an Italy-based inter-faith sect that splintered off from the Roman Catholic church...youth wing is called the "Gen Movement." ... The gens are also coded by color (Gen White, Gen Purple, etc.)"

Ooh, a mashup with Kites are Fun!
  4:28pm
Mike East:

Speaking of Arcades...I went to Chuck E. Cheese's last weekend with my 5 year old...it was traumatic...for me. The arcades that I went to when I was a kid were much better.
  4:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

The Busy Signals are amazing! I'm checking them out--not to mention ToT's "Go!", one of my favs from them.

The Happy Flowers...this is what I call the "inevitable Buzzkill", but this is a creative one at that.
  4:29pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Chuck E Cheese's is a special kind of hell for a parent.
  4:29pm
Charlie in London UK:

I wished I lived in WFMU. The cat scares me though!
  4:30pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Prissy's like a highway between Dallas and Ft Worth--no curves, I say, no curves!
  4:30pm
Chuck E. Cheese:

I am just another suburban wigger, and I suck it big time.
  4:30pm
Matt from Springfield:

Now Amanda! That's a nice follow up to the Happy Flowers!
@Charlie: I want to know if passports or residency permits are issued by WFMU-Land myself.
  4:33pm
Matt from Springfield:

This set is what I would call a WFMU DIY Acid-Rock Meltdown!
  4:34pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

now that's something I can get behind!
  4:37pm
Blakey-wake:

Tiger, tiger, plush and light,
In the playlist, munch and bite,
What immortal hand or eye
Could stuff thy fearful symmetry?
  4:38pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

hey, that's pretty good!
  4:39pm
Lolita:

Great idea, Irwin baby!
  4:39pm
PMD:

do today's yewts even know what a busy signal sounds like?
  4:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: A concept that should have been done this hot summer would be a "Meltdown", or "Sun-Baked" hour, nothing but the loudest DIY pieces.
@Blakey: Nomination for Playlist Laureate!
  4:40pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

@MFS
see BT every Tuesday
  4:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

@PMD: I still get busy signals on occasion. A notable example would be this own station's call-in line; you can't even get to the Screener until there's an opening between calls.
@DCE: BT's great for that, though I was thinking of an uninterrupted Noise Tunnel of Doom, or something like it.
  4:44pm
still b/p:

Hey, what if Rickie Lee Jones and Macy Gray sang a duet? Can you hear it?
  4:44pm
Matt from Springfield:

Btw, I in fact borrowed the "Sun-Baked" terminology from Brian, who referred to a set during the 2009 Summer as a "sun-baked set". (It was loaded with Purling Hiss, Hekaloth and other odd, loud tracks).
  4:47pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

man I wish I was out getting sun baked right now dammit
  4:49pm
Sun:

I'm right outside, DCE winkwink
  4:49pm
Carmichael:

I finally made it. Hi Irwin, hi everyone.
  4:50pm
Peteski:

what did I miss?
  4:50pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Hi. I'm just getting ready to go home now.
  4:51pm
Charlie in London UK:

Modern Man Go! its Stormy Stormy Stormy.
I wanna BB Gun with Prissy the Hen and Incense
while Monitoring Your Development plays on.

Even the playlist titles sing like poetry.
  4:52pm
PMD:

@Matt, but does anyone younger than 18 listen to this station? Irwin, what's the demographic? Just wondering..
Hi Carmichael!
  4:53pm
Arbitron:

They are too penurious to use us.
  4:54pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

is there a demographic? is it quantifiable?
  4:55pm
bennett4senate:

hola Irwin, como estas
  4:55pm
Carmichael:

Nick Drake! This is an astounding (outstanding?) LP.

Hi PMD!

I love this station-it RAWKS! and I'm only 10
  5:04pm

@Irwin - what?
Carmichael - how's the weather out there? :-)
  5:04pm

no me jodas Irwin, sabes bien que estoy escuchando
  5:04pm
I am old:

yes
  5:04pm
John McCabe in LA:

It's like porn 18 and over
  5:05pm
PMD:

I wonder how many 10 year olds give their lunch money to WFMU.
  5:05pm
merican:

stop speaking in code, bennett!
  5:05pm
Matt from Springfield:

@PMD: Call-in shows like Best Show and 7SD occasionally have 10 year olds calling (particularly recurring caller 10 year old Milo). Some parents who listen have kids that listen as well.
@ScottC: RAWK ON! Some find this station earlier than others!
  5:05pm

if only wfmu could create a time machine and get one 10 yr olds lunch money from 100 years from now... that would be like 1.2 million dollars or something.
  5:09pm
Carmichael:

@PMD: about 90, breezy and beautiful.
@Irwin: You're also breezy and beautiful.

I heard an awful song from the Phantom of the Paradise soundtrack last night. Which doesn't narrow it down much, I suppose. In fact "Upholstery" is the only decent cut on the whole disc.
If you have time, can you play one of the awful songs? It would sound better coming out of WFMU.
  5:09pm
online community:

LOL @ stingy
  5:10pm
PMD:

So is this the station then that they play in the land of misfit toys?
  5:10pm
stingy d:

i kno rite! son of gun! so obvs! srsly!
  5:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

@PMD: This station IS the Misfit Toys!
  5:11pm

Online, we all LOL @ Stingy, but in an affectionate, fraternal way.

In the nonland of misfit untoys
  5:12pm

@Carmichael, I'm glad. It's 70 and beautiful here. Getting too used to this cool weather.
@jeremy, wouldn't you want to go BACK in time?
  5:12pm
PMD:

Irwin, is it the ride?
  5:15pm
Charlie in London UK:

I think of WFMU as a new Planet that I have contact with.
What is 615 + 3. ;-)
  5:18pm
Charlie in London UK:

Look at the Playlist titles now

Slipping through the sensors. Darkness, Darkness. The melting Sun. Isolation.

Irwin poetry! ;-)
  5:20pm
jeremy:

I was thinking about going forward in time when a 10 yr olds lunch money would be subject to an inflation rate and thus, when brought back in time to the present would take care of the annual marathon. i could go back in time too i guess. and buy enron and sell at just the right time and have the station be called WFMJeremy... hmmm
  5:22pm
jeremy:

either way, we simply need a time machine. does anybody have one?
  5:23pm
IRS:

We hired 10,000 new agents in 2009 to enforce the new 99.3% time travel capital gain tax. Gotcha, suckers.
  5:23pm
Parq:

How 'bout we go back in time and grab some lunch money and open a savings account with it. Then we come back to the present, and the interest will retire the mortgage on ol' Monty.
  5:24pm
Parq:

And I prefer the solo-guitar live version of "Crucifixion".
  5:26pm
Matt from Springfield:

I've heard of, but only heard "The Crucifixion" just now. I see what you mean, Parq. Phil Ochs is usually best enjoyed minimalist.
  5:26pm
ScottC:

Phil Ouch!
  5:28pm
ScottC:

if I was the CIA I'd follow him too
  5:29pm
Irwin:

We've reached the limits of aural tolerance for a number of listeners?
  5:29pm
jeremy:

I've already moved forward in time to skip this song
  5:30pm
?:

this is rediculously amazing! thank you!!
  5:30pm
Nonlistener:

Still auraling.
  5:30pm
Carmichael:

Thank you in advance, Irwin, for pressing the delete key.
  5:30pm
Todd 76%:

Thanks for this version of Crucifixion, Irwin. Still crazed and audacious - but then again I'm from the hometown of Charles Ives...
  5:30pm
jeremy:

i love you next track, irwin! great choice!!
  5:31pm
Matt from Springfield:

Irwin, let's just say this producer is trying to compete with The Byrds' "Space Odyssey" for the honor of "Spaced-Out Song No One Wants To Cover".
  5:31pm
Biggles:

Wait a minute - this chat room has a soundtrack somewhere?
  5:32pm

@Biggles: no. Don't distract us.
  5:32pm

So, his son founded the Presidents of the United States of America?
  5:33pm
WFMU motto:

Messing around with sound.
  5:34pm
Carmichael:

"Pleasure" .....
  5:34pm
Parq:

Thanks for that treatise, Irwin. Never knew about that. Always figured it had to be the producer's idea.
  5:35pm
Rob W:

Very interesting background on the US of A / Joseph Byrd connection with Phil Ochs, thanks Irwin. That brings to mind another Ochs oddity, his African single Bwatue...
  5:35pm

From tiny producers great Ochs grow.

peanut duck is a good song tho...
