Listener comments!
	♥ 3:01pm SeanG: The Pidge is Back?!!
	🎸 ♥ 3:02pm rrg: No Kelly Jones. I call that bait and switch.
	3:04pm Dan B From Upstate: That's a small shame. I love Kelly Jones. Oh well. I love Pidge, too!
	♥ 3:06pm Caryn: Well, last week did show that an Irwin/Pidge show is pure gold. Looking forward to this!
	♥ 3:06pm Uncle Michael: May I come in?
	3:07pm Clay Pigeon: You are stuck with ME today! But this is about IRWIN, so see what you can do for him. Hello! 800 989 9368 wfmu.org
	3:07pm Sigurdur: good question
	♥ 3:11pm common: hey hey hey. what happened? had to step away for a long bit. hello irwin! Hey Clay!!!!!
	♥ 3:14pm Greg from Bloomfield: It's the Dream Team!
	3:14pm P-90: "Weblos?" Heehee
	3:14pm Michael: Irwin - I pledged earlier today and while I live in Massachusetts now I grew up in Middletown in NJ so could I hear Matt Farley's Middletown song? Pretty please? And why doesn't Matt have any Massachusetts songs - he lives here!
	3:15pm Dan B From Upstate: Those last two... Man, that's heartbreaking.
	♥ 3:15pm rsj: king pin
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm Alison Porchnik: I want take Irwin bowling. And the skinheads.
	3:16pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I think Clay and Irwin should be a permanent duo from now on. Look out Frangry and Michelle. Side note - I am curious about Matt Farley's song for San Jose as I am from there, even though Dionne Warwick does as righteous tribute to that city.
	♥ 3:16pm tim from champaign: Alright! Clay's back.
	3:16pm Kevlicki: Is he really wearing the ring?!!!
	♥ 3:17pm Caryn: Now I need to see the ring.
	3:17pm steve: Clay's back!
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm rrg: It's not really a phone, Clay. Even online pledges get the ringing sound effect.
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm rrg: Hi, Jeff.
	3:20pm emilyhatestheworld: Massachusetts is the Commonwealth.
	3:22pm Sigurdur: Innocent = Redux
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm rrg: Here it comes, Caryn!
	🎸 ♥ 3:24pm rrg: Not sure it was worth the wait, though.
	♥ 3:24pm Caryn: Woohoo!
	3:25pm josephebacon: Gosh, I can't wait till Matt Farley gets to Pennsylvania...
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm rrg: Matt Farley couldn't have existed without Wikipedia. A creature of the modern era.
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm rrg: I dropped some coin on his NJ album. I won't say that I'm having buyer's remorse. I just won't say anything at all.
	3:27pm Denise in DC: Can we only get songs about our home towns? I pledged . . .
	♥ 3:27pm common: man, that was a good hee haw thing you just did there clay! hee hee!
	♥ 3:29pm Caryn: Hah! I might add about Huddersfield: -birthplace of James Mason (Patrick Stewart was born down the road in Kirklees) -the site of The Sex Pistols' best gig
	♥ 3:31pm mariano: Caryn: that's cool about James Mason, he's always been a fave. What happened at the Pistols gig?
	3:32pm P-90: The Pistols didn't get into a shouting match with James Mason from the stage?
	3:33pm Ralphine: Probably my all-time favorite James Mason movie line: "Nurse the tooth."
	3:34pm josephebacon: I always thought James Mason was Bigger Than Life!
	♥ 3:34pm Caryn: @mariano: well, it was a gig for miners and their families (I think near X-mas, but I could be recalling this wrong). The Pistols have always spoken fondly of the gig, and talked about it as their best. As far as I know, nothing hugely unusual happened. There's plenty of footage of it in one of the Julian Temple docs about them. When in Huddersfield, I lived about a block away from James Mason Close, named such because that's where he was born. Nice Victorian houses.
	3:34pm P-90: Which James Mason movie was it where he played the guy going bonkers from Cortisone shots?
	3:35pm WaveyDavey: @P-90 Bigger Than Life
	♥ 3:36pm Caryn: @P-90: that's "Bigger Than Life"!
	3:36pm Kurt Gottschalk: chocolate!
	3:37pm Sigurdur: baby Japanese
	3:38pm Droll: . o O ( Babymetal's album Babymetal has a song called "Babymetal Death". So close, and so worthy of some list... )
	3:38pm P-90: Thanks, guys! If we could harness the brainpower on these Comments Boards we could beat those pesky Commies once and for all!
	♥ 3:39pm common: love bigger than life! just talking about lolita about 1 minute ago...ah, synchronicity.
	♥ 3:39pm mariano: Thanks for the info Caryn! James Mason's also great in Lolita. And even as the ship's captain in Yellowbeard, with his immortal line "And this is Mr Prostitute, in charge of discipline."
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm Alison Porchnik: James Mason in The Servant rivals James Mason in Bigger That Life.
	♥ 3:42pm Caryn: @mariano: My fave bit from Yellowbeard is the discussion between John Cleese and Eric Idle: Cleese: -I have acute hearing. Idle: -I'm not interested in your jewellery, cloth-eyes.
	3:42pm Kurt Gottschalk: no illinois?!?
	3:42pm josephebacon: James Mason was great as Captain Nemo, too!
	♥ 3:43pm Caryn: "The Servant" was Mason's finest hour. Of course, he had plenty of fine hours.
	3:43pm Ralphine: And as Ed Concannon in The Verdict.
	3:43pm WaveyDavey: Isn't Matt Farley already enough "ill noise"?
	3:43pm P-90: THE RETURN OF JOE FRANK!
	3:44pm josephebacon: If you don't give Babymetal their chocolate, this could happen to you! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 3:44pm Hoboken Jack: Who you callin' a Jack-S??
	♥ 3:45pm mariano: Haha, Caryn, yeah, love Cleese as Blind Pew. And that jowled old man playing Queen Anne.
	3:45pm Denise in DC: Kurt -- and no DC.
	3:48pm kim: hey i'm listening from san francisco! and you're talking about Berkeley!
	♥ 3:49pm Caryn: @mariano: that's Peter Bull. I think it was his last film role. He was also in "Dr. Strangelove" and "Tom Jones". And "The African Queen".
	3:51pm Sigurdur: Where you at P ?
	♥ 3:52pm Irwin: Nica: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 3:52pm mariano: @Caryn: that's right, he was the Russian diplomat in Strangelove. Have to watch Tom Jones again. Thanks for the info!
	3:52pm Sigurdur: Not U pigeon...... Commentator.. P
	3:53pm Jeff: Kurt - I guess Mr. Farley chooses not to tussle with Sufjan Stevens.
	♥ 3:57pm Greg from Bloomfield: So do you think "Please Mr. Kennedy" is loosely based on "The Chicken Astronaut" by The Five Du-Tones?
	3:57pm WaveyDavey: Buh, Buh, Buh, Buh, Buh Berkeley California. Mr. Farley didn't mention that Berkeley does not recognize "Columbus Day" but instead celebrates "Indigenous People's Day"
	4:00pm Kevlicki: Jeez guys, I have te station is memorized
	♥ 4:01pm Hoboken Jack: According to the interweb, the dome "was demolished in 1999 to make room for the Kalia Tower."
	4:06pm Lewis: actually Brian gave away a painting yesterday - no it has to go to france…
	♥ 4:08pm Skirkie: I just hope that Matt writes some songs where the town sucks. The "____ is a very good town" gets pretty boring.
	4:09pm WaveyDavey: FYI the Reverend Solomon Hicks is played by David Cross.
	♥ 4:10pm Caryn: @Skirkie: maybe he's lulling everyone into a false sense of security. Years of "good town" songs and then suddenly he'll come out with a bunch of songs that are just torrents of abuse directed at various towns.
	4:10pm Sigurdur: Satisfactory white people listening
	4:12pm northguineahills: Wait, I've heard this Frank before.
	4:12pm Clay Pigeon: No more Aluminum Dome. That is sad news. The good news is your pledging! We have 18 minutes to get to 50%. Please make it happen. The Mothership needs YOU!
	4:12pm bobdoesthings: @north he's just playing excerpts.
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Alison Porchnik: The reverend sounds so much like my boss it's absolutely unnerving. I have to keep the speakers turned down low so as not to attract attention.
	4:13pm bobdoesthings: last weeks was a repeat too.
	4:13pm Lewis: @WaveyDavey - thanks, that knowledge makes things much more comfortable.
	4:13pm WaveyDavey: I'm not at home when they play scrabble.
	♥ 4:16pm mariano: Wait, which one's Cross? Missed the first part. Joe Frank's the interviewer, but that's really David Cross?
	4:16pm northguineahills: Oh, yeah, I got 18 stitches!
	4:16pm _crazyandy_______________________________: If it isn't, it's uncanny compared to his black man voice
	4:16pm Droll: I remember that MJ tune about the triangles in Egypt, but not the one in Poland. Must have been the B-side on that single.
	4:17pm WaveyDavey: @mariano, yes the very same from "Arrested Development" and "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret"
	4:18pm josephebacon: Doesn't Matt Farley want a White Castle?
	4:18pm Dan B From Upstate: I know I said it last week, but Matt Farley really reminds me of Frannie the singing psychic. New castle! Oh oh yeah!
	4:18pm Terre T: Haha Clay! I told the phone volunteer FOUR Words, not 2! (but the way u said it was funnier !)
	♥ 4:19pm mariano: @WaveyDavey: wow, he can certainly alter his voice!
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm rrg: Skirkie, Matt Farley's song about Camden NJ is titled "Camden Isn't So Bad! It's Getting Better." He's not going to insult towns outright because he wants to sell the songs to residents.
	♥ 4:20pm Skirkie: But it's just so much more entertaining. What would happen if he wrote a sone for Oldcastle in Cheshire after saying he doesn't WANT and old castle? Can't have it both ways, buddy.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm rrg: There are those who call it spam. They might be right.
	♥ 4:21pm mariano: @WaveyDavey: while we're at it, would you (or anyone) happen to know who does the telephone preacher on Joe Frank, the one who calls people up and gets them to join in ridiculous prayers? Been looking for that info for a while.
	4:23pm Sigurdur: A true Castle is the White Castle
	4:23pm Droll: rrg, That's a terrible business model, there are far more people outside this towns than in them. Skirkie should record and sell songs bashing those cities. Selling songs is very, very lucrative these days.
	♥ 4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Does he have songs for Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook?
	4:23pm Clay Pigeon: Haha Terre! I love the two-word version. Happy Marathonning!
	♥ 4:26pm Andrew Waterloo: I have to admit that he sang about Waterloo, Ontario it sounded like he was hanging out here at some point.
	4:27pm Ralphine: mariano: Maybe the guy described in Act 3 of this segment of This American Life is who you're looking for. www.thisamericanlife.org...
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm rrg: Come on, Andrew. There's almost no chance of that.
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm rrg: Now, if I had written it...
	♥ 4:28pm common: look at all the fog...hee hee!
	4:29pm WaveyDavey: And with that song no one else needs to write another song about San Francisco....EVER.
	♥ 4:29pm Skirkie: I like Terre T's drop in for SF
	♥ 4:31pm tim from champaign: In Russia, Putin wears you.
	4:31pm WaveyDavey: Obama-Putin...build a house of cards...if it was good enough for "The Brady Bunch"....
	4:32pm Kathy: One of my cats is named Putin!! no not Pootin. He is a terror.
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm rrg: I think it means "disseminate".
	4:33pm Droll: prom·ul·gate (ˈpräməlˌgāt,prōˈməl-) verb 1. promote or make widely known (an idea or cause).
	♥ 4:33pm mariano: @Ralphine: thank you!!!
	♥ 4:34pm MD: MY OLD PAL IRWIN!!!! REMEMBER THAT GUY???
	4:34pm Ralphine: There's a link to the audio at the top of the page, but it's Act 2 there.
	4:35pm Sigurdur: Finally the "truth" I guess
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Alison Porchnik: Poor Roddy.
	♥ 4:36pm common: yo philly! poor roddy.
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Alison Porchnik: Irwin, careful with the drinking - you don't want your stool to go all black and tarry.
	4:39pm WaveyDavey: @mariano: The show I believe you are referring to is titled "Prayer". It just happens to the the free download of the day at www.joefrank.com... The cast included Grace Zabriskie, Ryan Cutrona, Harvey Perr, Phil Proctor, Douglas Johnson, Davis Black, & Joe Frank.
	♥ 4:40pm mariano: Alabama and Texas don't border!
	4:40pm northguineahills: Alabama, I think he meant Arkansas.
	♥ 4:41pm mariano: @WaveyDavey: No way! Oh wow, thanks so much. I have it on cassette somewhere from back in the 90s when I'd record them from KPFA, so this is great news, haven't had a tape deck in years. Thanks!
	4:42pm Laura L: Aw, he's never been there--you gotta go to Arkansas! That's why it's called TEX-ARK-ana. But it wasn't wonderful either...
	♥ 4:42pm mariano: Oh, this food description is painful: just had way more Nutella than I should have...
	4:43pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I think we need to have each person from the place he sings about give a quick review of the song. Just sayin.
	4:45pm berbo: "Canadian" sharp cheddar cheese? Speaking on behalf of all Wisconsin, I am outraged.
	4:45pm northguineahills: (currently a geographer for hire)
	4:47pm glenn: sorry, wisconsin. canadian cheddar is the bomb.
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm Alison Porchnik: I hope Roddy sends us an update before 6:00 pm. I'm on tenterhooks!
	4:48pm Ralphine: I'm trying to think of a vibraphone song that I don't like, but I can't.
	4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Weapons-grade cheddar?
	4:50pm Clay Pigeon: Starbuck? no wait ... that's xylophone.
	♥ 4:50pm common: i want a vibraphone.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm rrg: Matt's song about Scotch Plains NJ is, uh, a bit superficial, since you ask. But, really, how could it be otherwise? He can't really visit all these places and still make money at it.
	♥ 4:53pm Alex of Chicago: Woodbridge must be near Newbridge.
	♥ 4:54pm Skirkie: There's a Wawa in Woodbridge.
	4:54pm Mott: appreciate the Joe Frank. He is at his best when he is in the monologue...rather than acted out scenes.
	♥ 4:54pm tim from champaign: Ha! Stool Pigeon!
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm rrg: He didn't mention Route 35. I'm surprised.
	♥ 4:55pm efd: I'm surprised he didn't mention the mall!
	♥ 4:55pm Skirkie: And Route 1 Lingerie
	♥ 4:55pm efd: Skirkie, soon to be TWO Wawas!
	4:56pm steve: whats the minimum pledge for a Matt Farley song from your town? id like to hear the Ridgewood song - i don't live there but used to work at the Whole Foods.
	4:56pm steve: (Ridgewood, NJ)
	♥ 4:57pm Skirkie: I call the first one "The Newbridge Wawa" I saw a Goon Squad guy in there one night.
	♥ 4:58pm Skirkie: Jock Squad. I'm off today. In the brain.
	5:00pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Aw Thomas. He needs to meet Amanda and sing s duet.
	♥ 5:01pm mariano: Molly in Brooklyn: sounds a lot like my younger days...
	♥ 5:03pm Mike East: I was driving past a Wawa on the bus this morning as I was listening to the last episode of the Best Show, JUST as they were talking about Wawas.
	5:05pm glenn: wawa goose. www.roadsideattractions.ca...
	5:06pm Listener David in Budd Lake: Hidden Valley is no more
	♥ 5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to link to the fantastic - like Revolver-worthy - Wawa Hoagiefest songs on the Beware of the Blog Fake Beatles page - but for some reason the BotB page just will not load for me right now...
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm rrg: I used to pass a Wawa on Lake Ave. on the way to Rahway, but it was replaced with something less awesome.
	5:07pm Listener David in Budd Lake: He sang about my town Mt Olive.
	5:08pm bobdoesthings: cruising on 17? he hasnt driven rt 17 before
	5:08pm steve: haha, there's apparently very few defining characteristics to Ridgewood.
	5:08pm Kevlicki: I just watched a hilarious short doc about Action Park, which was in Vernon, NJ. "The most dangerous water park in te USA"
	5:09pm Droll: I was afraid Mr. Farley was about to sing a list of zip codes, which would mark a new low, but then he told me look it up myself, which is a new high.
	🎸 ♥ 5:10pm Alison Porchnik: Yuba City is within 2 hours' driving distance of where I grew up, does that count?
	5:10pm Warwick: Hey, does he have a warwick song?!?
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm rrg: I'm trying to like these, I really am. But I think Matt may already have gotten all the money he's likely to get out of me.
	5:11pm Kevlicki: This place was friggin dangerous, a rite of passage for all teenagers that lived nearby http://touch.dailymotion.com/video/x13qzyv_the-most-insane-amusement-park-ever-part-1-of-2_tech
	♥ 5:12pm tim from champaign: Pledge to help keep Irwin's vultures at bay!
	5:13pm WaveyDavey: I second that Tim from C
	5:14pm LovecraftDude888: too tired to be on a lot today but....I went to Action Park once in my life, around 1993, and it was cool! Dangerous perhaps...but fun! mainly stuck to the water rides
	5:14pm Chris: More songs about English towns!
	5:15pm _crazyandy_______________________________: how much do I need to pledge to be eligible for the amanda?
	5:16pm Kevlicki: I was terrified of the tidal pool. Used to snowboard there in the winter too.
	♥ 5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...here they are ! I love these Wawa songs ! : blog.wfmu.org...
	♥ 5:16pm Mike East: I was singing "bad" to myself this morning....though it might have been "fat"
	5:17pm LovecraftDude888: I went to wave pool a few times at some other water park in Florida Ocala FlA....in the 80s...figured I would drown didn't like that part of it
	♥ 5:18pm tim from champaign: OH MAN! I having difficulty not falling on the floor dying of laughter from the Amanda song.
	5:18pm WaveyDavey: "Won't you eat my pee!" Best lyric ever.
	♥ 5:19pm Uncle Michael: This is the best thing I've ever heard.
	5:19pm Droll: . o O ( Your dental plates land on me? ) Amanda is one of the great librettist of our time.
	5:20pm LovecraftDude888: I also went on Alpine Slide in early 80s in PA somewhere and it was terrifying! But I didn't go flying off it thank goodness
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Alison Porchnik: Thank you for Yuba City. He really put some thought into that one.
	5:22pm WaveyDavey: Gum wrapper chains....a lost art.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm rrg: I thought this was produced by Frank Zappa. I guess not.
	5:22pm MikeY: FUCKING GREAT I just found the opening for my comedy show. eviltwistedtunes.blogspot.com...
	5:22pm Kathy: I can't wait to get this more I hear stuff on it How do I not have this already. sounds like a deranged CraigsList ad.
	5:22pm WaveyDavey: I hope you know that this is a girl writing.......Buahhahhaahahaa
	5:23pm fleep: Sure. It's a girl writing. Keep on believing.
	5:25pm _crazyandy_______________________________: are there girls on the internet?
	♥ 5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sure it's Salinger writing. Keep on believing.
	♥ 5:28pm Mike East: I think I remember going to a train shop in Cedar Grove with my dad when I was a kid
	♥ 5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You have to sing it Mike.
	5:29pm LovecraftDude888: pegged it Tony's Train Shop? it's Cedar Grove. never been but I was a huge train modeler as a kid and my Uncle even more so
	5:29pm Kevlicki: He's Wesley Willis
	♥ 5:30pm Mike East: I was, Rabbit, you just couldn't hear it. Actually, I pretty much sing all my comments
	5:30pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Tony's Train Town! My friend bought a katana from there.
	♥ 5:30pm ChrisB.: To me Matt Farley is more like East Berlin. and I sure miss the wall right now.
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm rrg: Show-off. No, really, it's great.
	5:31pm glenn: i don't think i've witnessed a 5k donation before.
	5:31pm WaveyDavey: $5000? Now I believe in angels. Thank you for all of us.
	5:32pm fleep: Yikes. Wag that dog.
	♥ 5:32pm Mike East: cool. Yeah, there was a period of a few months that my dad and I were trying to get into model trains. Got his Lionel engine and coal car refurbished, then I guess we just kinda gave up. Good memories though. Ohhhh Yeaaaaaahhh!!
	♥ 5:32pm Uncle Michael: Congratulations, Irwin!
	♥ 5:32pm Guido (Cologne): Congratulations!
	5:33pm LovecraftDude888: a real katana? far out! sharpened? Willis Hobbies in Mineola LI is almost as good
	🎸 ♥ 5:33pm chris: That is kick ass!
	5:33pm Droll: Congrats Irwin! I hope this doesn't mean you're going upscale. Please don't gentrify the part of FMU that plays Amanda.
	5:34pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Alright, alright, alright!!!!
	♥ 5:34pm dale: dang, didn't know you were on clay...missed the whole show.
	♥ 5:34pm dale: jenni o does randy newman?!
	5:34pm _crazyandy_______________________________: We used it to destroy some watermelons ya
	5:35pm Adam in Portland and Lynnwood: 5K in a single pledge!!!!! Wooooo hoooooooooo, WFMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:35pm _crazyandy_______________________________: correction- Pumpkins*.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm rrg: This song is autobiographical. I should have known that but didn't until recently.
	♥ 5:35pm dale: D'OH! got confused - i was listening to nilsson sings newman earlier this week.
	♥ 5:35pm Uncle Michael: Great Nilsson cover. harry knew about feeling all clammy inside too, Irwin.
	♥ 5:35pm tim from champaign: Way to go!!!
	5:35pm Laura L: Wow! That is a wonderful generosity from Mark and Nina--would that we all could do that! Great joy and happiness!
	5:35pm LovecraftDude888: i think I had an AFX slot car set as a kid also but that got decimated fast
	5:36pm berbo: I could listen to Nilsseon all day long
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm chris: Just 45 or so more of those $5k pledges to make the station's goal. Doable.
	♥ 5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 5K ! Thanks from all FMU lovers.
	5:37pm jeff g: been listening since late 70s-------when when water towered----thanks mark & { already forgot} very cool
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm chris: Or maybe my math is lame... there's a reason I'm not a CPA. 45... 95... whatever! :-)
	5:44pm WaveyDavey: Clay P asked earlier how Irwin ranks this marathon against those in the past. Has Irwin's answer changed since then?
	5:46pm ?: Irwin is worth more than his goal!
	5:48pm WaveyDavey: Worth so very much more... everyone who pledges is an angel.
	♥ 5:49pm dale: i stopped buying music (except for the occasional yard sale record) and give my cd budget to fmu. they curate better than i do.
	5:49pm Adam in Portland and Lynnwood: I'm lovin' on all WFMU pledgers......in my mind! Provided it is welcomed, of course! ;-)))))
	♥ 5:52pm dale: i don't really swing adam, but the sentiment is flattering nonetheless.
	5:52pm steve: love all pledgers, great and small
	5:54pm WaveyDavey: @dale: I'm the opposite. I buy more music now because the WFMU DJs present me with so much more stuff worth having in my collection than any other radio station has ever done.
	5:54pm steve: dale - i normally spend most of my meager disposable income on records, this year i decided to hold off for a few weeks and give the proceeds to FMU instead. seemed like the thing to do.
	5:54pm Droll: Pre-Hendrix Noel Redding? More importantly, he played on a Tom Wilson produced Trifecta?!?! Nice batterie by Leslie Sampson.
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm rrg: That was a trifecta?
	5:55pm Droll: Thanks Irwin & Clay, break a leg Sunday night!
	♥ 5:57pm Guido (Cologne): Post Hendrix Noel Redding (1972)
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm rrg: Yep. I'll be watchin'. Bye, all. Thanks, Irwin and Clay.
	5:57pm WaveyDavey: Great show Irwin and Clay. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
	5:57pm Adam in Portland and Lynnwood: Dale, I will keep my love at an agreed upon distance.
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm chris: Woot! Thanks, guys!

Listener comments!
	♥ 3:01pm SeanG: The Pidge is Back?!!
	🎸 ♥ 3:02pm rrg: No Kelly Jones. I call that bait and switch.
	3:04pm Dan B From Upstate: That's a small shame. I love Kelly Jones. Oh well. I love Pidge, too!
	♥ 3:06pm Caryn: Well, last week did show that an Irwin/Pidge show is pure gold. Looking forward to this!
	♥ 3:06pm Uncle Michael: May I come in?
	3:07pm Clay Pigeon: You are stuck with ME today! But this is about IRWIN, so see what you can do for him. Hello! 800 989 9368 wfmu.org
	3:07pm Sigurdur: good question
	♥ 3:11pm common: hey hey hey. what happened? had to step away for a long bit. hello irwin! Hey Clay!!!!!
	♥ 3:14pm Greg from Bloomfield: It's the Dream Team!
	3:14pm P-90: "Weblos?" Heehee
	3:14pm Michael: Irwin - I pledged earlier today and while I live in Massachusetts now I grew up in Middletown in NJ so could I hear Matt Farley's Middletown song? Pretty please? And why doesn't Matt have any Massachusetts songs - he lives here!
	3:15pm Dan B From Upstate: Those last two... Man, that's heartbreaking.
	♥ 3:15pm rsj: king pin
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm Alison Porchnik: I want take Irwin bowling. And the skinheads.
	3:16pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I think Clay and Irwin should be a permanent duo from now on. Look out Frangry and Michelle. Side note - I am curious about Matt Farley's song for San Jose as I am from there, even though Dionne Warwick does as righteous tribute to that city.
	♥ 3:16pm tim from champaign: Alright! Clay's back.
	3:16pm Kevlicki: Is he really wearing the ring?!!!
	♥ 3:17pm Caryn: Now I need to see the ring.
	3:17pm steve: Clay's back!
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm rrg: It's not really a phone, Clay. Even online pledges get the ringing sound effect.
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm rrg: Hi, Jeff.
	3:20pm emilyhatestheworld: Massachusetts is the Commonwealth.
	3:22pm Sigurdur: Innocent = Redux
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm rrg: Here it comes, Caryn!
	🎸 ♥ 3:24pm rrg: Not sure it was worth the wait, though.
	♥ 3:24pm Caryn: Woohoo!
	3:25pm josephebacon: Gosh, I can't wait till Matt Farley gets to Pennsylvania...
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm rrg: Matt Farley couldn't have existed without Wikipedia. A creature of the modern era.
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm rrg: I dropped some coin on his NJ album. I won't say that I'm having buyer's remorse. I just won't say anything at all.
	3:27pm Denise in DC: Can we only get songs about our home towns? I pledged . . .
	♥ 3:27pm common: man, that was a good hee haw thing you just did there clay! hee hee!
	♥ 3:29pm Caryn: Hah! I might add about Huddersfield: -birthplace of James Mason (Patrick Stewart was born down the road in Kirklees) -the site of The Sex Pistols' best gig
	♥ 3:31pm mariano: Caryn: that's cool about James Mason, he's always been a fave. What happened at the Pistols gig?
	3:32pm P-90: The Pistols didn't get into a shouting match with James Mason from the stage?
	3:33pm Ralphine: Probably my all-time favorite James Mason movie line: "Nurse the tooth."
	3:34pm josephebacon: I always thought James Mason was Bigger Than Life!
	♥ 3:34pm Caryn: @mariano: well, it was a gig for miners and their families (I think near X-mas, but I could be recalling this wrong). The Pistols have always spoken fondly of the gig, and talked about it as their best. As far as I know, nothing hugely unusual happened. There's plenty of footage of it in one of the Julian Temple docs about them. When in Huddersfield, I lived about a block away from James Mason Close, named such because that's where he was born. Nice Victorian houses.
	3:34pm P-90: Which James Mason movie was it where he played the guy going bonkers from Cortisone shots?
	3:35pm WaveyDavey: @P-90 Bigger Than Life
	♥ 3:36pm Caryn: @P-90: that's "Bigger Than Life"!
	3:36pm Kurt Gottschalk: chocolate!
	3:37pm Sigurdur: baby Japanese
	3:38pm Droll: . o O ( Babymetal's album Babymetal has a song called "Babymetal Death". So close, and so worthy of some list... )
	3:38pm P-90: Thanks, guys! If we could harness the brainpower on these Comments Boards we could beat those pesky Commies once and for all!
	♥ 3:39pm common: love bigger than life! just talking about lolita about 1 minute ago...ah, synchronicity.
	♥ 3:39pm mariano: Thanks for the info Caryn! James Mason's also great in Lolita. And even as the ship's captain in Yellowbeard, with his immortal line "And this is Mr Prostitute, in charge of discipline."
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm Alison Porchnik: James Mason in The Servant rivals James Mason in Bigger That Life.
	♥ 3:42pm Caryn: @mariano: My fave bit from Yellowbeard is the discussion between John Cleese and Eric Idle: Cleese: -I have acute hearing. Idle: -I'm not interested in your jewellery, cloth-eyes.
	3:42pm Kurt Gottschalk: no illinois?!?
	3:42pm josephebacon: James Mason was great as Captain Nemo, too!
	♥ 3:43pm Caryn: "The Servant" was Mason's finest hour. Of course, he had plenty of fine hours.
	3:43pm Ralphine: And as Ed Concannon in The Verdict.
	3:43pm WaveyDavey: Isn't Matt Farley already enough "ill noise"?
	3:43pm P-90: THE RETURN OF JOE FRANK!
	3:44pm josephebacon: If you don't give Babymetal their chocolate, this could happen to you! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 3:44pm Hoboken Jack: Who you callin' a Jack-S??
	♥ 3:45pm mariano: Haha, Caryn, yeah, love Cleese as Blind Pew. And that jowled old man playing Queen Anne.
	3:45pm Denise in DC: Kurt -- and no DC.
	3:48pm kim: hey i'm listening from san francisco! and you're talking about Berkeley!
	♥ 3:49pm Caryn: @mariano: that's Peter Bull. I think it was his last film role. He was also in "Dr. Strangelove" and "Tom Jones". And "The African Queen".
	3:51pm Sigurdur: Where you at P ?
	♥ 3:52pm Irwin: Nica: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 3:52pm mariano: @Caryn: that's right, he was the Russian diplomat in Strangelove. Have to watch Tom Jones again. Thanks for the info!
	3:52pm Sigurdur: Not U pigeon...... Commentator.. P
	3:53pm Jeff: Kurt - I guess Mr. Farley chooses not to tussle with Sufjan Stevens.
	♥ 3:57pm Greg from Bloomfield: So do you think "Please Mr. Kennedy" is loosely based on "The Chicken Astronaut" by The Five Du-Tones?
	3:57pm WaveyDavey: Buh, Buh, Buh, Buh, Buh Berkeley California. Mr. Farley didn't mention that Berkeley does not recognize "Columbus Day" but instead celebrates "Indigenous People's Day"
	4:00pm Kevlicki: Jeez guys, I have te station is memorized
	♥ 4:01pm Hoboken Jack: According to the interweb, the dome "was demolished in 1999 to make room for the Kalia Tower."
	4:06pm Lewis: actually Brian gave away a painting yesterday - no it has to go to france…
	♥ 4:08pm Skirkie: I just hope that Matt writes some songs where the town sucks. The "____ is a very good town" gets pretty boring.
	4:09pm WaveyDavey: FYI the Reverend Solomon Hicks is played by David Cross.
	♥ 4:10pm Caryn: @Skirkie: maybe he's lulling everyone into a false sense of security. Years of "good town" songs and then suddenly he'll come out with a bunch of songs that are just torrents of abuse directed at various towns.
	4:10pm Sigurdur: Satisfactory white people listening
	4:12pm northguineahills: Wait, I've heard this Frank before.
	4:12pm Clay Pigeon: No more Aluminum Dome. That is sad news. The good news is your pledging! We have 18 minutes to get to 50%. Please make it happen. The Mothership needs YOU!
	4:12pm bobdoesthings: @north he's just playing excerpts.
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Alison Porchnik: The reverend sounds so much like my boss it's absolutely unnerving. I have to keep the speakers turned down low so as not to attract attention.
	4:13pm bobdoesthings: last weeks was a repeat too.
	4:13pm Lewis: @WaveyDavey - thanks, that knowledge makes things much more comfortable.
	4:13pm WaveyDavey: I'm not at home when they play scrabble.
	♥ 4:16pm mariano: Wait, which one's Cross? Missed the first part. Joe Frank's the interviewer, but that's really David Cross?
	4:16pm northguineahills: Oh, yeah, I got 18 stitches!
	4:16pm _crazyandy_______________________________: If it isn't, it's uncanny compared to his black man voice
	4:16pm Droll: I remember that MJ tune about the triangles in Egypt, but not the one in Poland. Must have been the B-side on that single.
	4:17pm WaveyDavey: @mariano, yes the very same from "Arrested Development" and "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret"
	4:18pm josephebacon: Doesn't Matt Farley want a White Castle?
	4:18pm Dan B From Upstate: I know I said it last week, but Matt Farley really reminds me of Frannie the singing psychic. New castle! Oh oh yeah!
	4:18pm Terre T: Haha Clay! I told the phone volunteer FOUR Words, not 2! (but the way u said it was funnier !)
	♥ 4:19pm mariano: @WaveyDavey: wow, he can certainly alter his voice!
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm rrg: Skirkie, Matt Farley's song about Camden NJ is titled "Camden Isn't So Bad! It's Getting Better." He's not going to insult towns outright because he wants to sell the songs to residents.
	♥ 4:20pm Skirkie: But it's just so much more entertaining. What would happen if he wrote a sone for Oldcastle in Cheshire after saying he doesn't WANT and old castle? Can't have it both ways, buddy.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm rrg: There are those who call it spam. They might be right.
	♥ 4:21pm mariano: @WaveyDavey: while we're at it, would you (or anyone) happen to know who does the telephone preacher on Joe Frank, the one who calls people up and gets them to join in ridiculous prayers? Been looking for that info for a while.
	4:23pm Sigurdur: A true Castle is the White Castle
	4:23pm Droll: rrg, That's a terrible business model, there are far more people outside this towns than in them. Skirkie should record and sell songs bashing those cities. Selling songs is very, very lucrative these days.
	♥ 4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Does he have songs for Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook?
	4:23pm Clay Pigeon: Haha Terre! I love the two-word version. Happy Marathonning!
	♥ 4:26pm Andrew Waterloo: I have to admit that he sang about Waterloo, Ontario it sounded like he was hanging out here at some point.
	4:27pm Ralphine: mariano: Maybe the guy described in Act 3 of this segment of This American Life is who you're looking for. www.thisamericanlife.org...
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm rrg: Come on, Andrew. There's almost no chance of that.
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm rrg: Now, if I had written it...
	♥ 4:28pm common: look at all the fog...hee hee!
	4:29pm WaveyDavey: And with that song no one else needs to write another song about San Francisco....EVER.
	♥ 4:29pm Skirkie: I like Terre T's drop in for SF
	♥ 4:31pm tim from champaign: In Russia, Putin wears you.
	4:31pm WaveyDavey: Obama-Putin...build a house of cards...if it was good enough for "The Brady Bunch"....
	4:32pm Kathy: One of my cats is named Putin!! no not Pootin. He is a terror.
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm rrg: I think it means "disseminate".
	4:33pm Droll: prom·ul·gate (ˈpräməlˌgāt,prōˈməl-) verb 1. promote or make widely known (an idea or cause).
	♥ 4:33pm mariano: @Ralphine: thank you!!!
	♥ 4:34pm MD: MY OLD PAL IRWIN!!!! REMEMBER THAT GUY???
	4:34pm Ralphine: There's a link to the audio at the top of the page, but it's Act 2 there.
	4:35pm Sigurdur: Finally the "truth" I guess
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Alison Porchnik: Poor Roddy.
	♥ 4:36pm common: yo philly! poor roddy.
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Alison Porchnik: Irwin, careful with the drinking - you don't want your stool to go all black and tarry.
	4:39pm WaveyDavey: @mariano: The show I believe you are referring to is titled "Prayer". It just happens to the the free download of the day at www.joefrank.com... The cast included Grace Zabriskie, Ryan Cutrona, Harvey Perr, Phil Proctor, Douglas Johnson, Davis Black, & Joe Frank.
	♥ 4:40pm mariano: Alabama and Texas don't border!
	4:40pm northguineahills: Alabama, I think he meant Arkansas.
	♥ 4:41pm mariano: @WaveyDavey: No way! Oh wow, thanks so much. I have it on cassette somewhere from back in the 90s when I'd record them from KPFA, so this is great news, haven't had a tape deck in years. Thanks!
	4:42pm Laura L: Aw, he's never been there--you gotta go to Arkansas! That's why it's called TEX-ARK-ana. But it wasn't wonderful either...
	♥ 4:42pm mariano: Oh, this food description is painful: just had way more Nutella than I should have...
	4:43pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I think we need to have each person from the place he sings about give a quick review of the song. Just sayin.
	4:45pm berbo: "Canadian" sharp cheddar cheese? Speaking on behalf of all Wisconsin, I am outraged.
	4:45pm northguineahills: (currently a geographer for hire)
	4:47pm glenn: sorry, wisconsin. canadian cheddar is the bomb.
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm Alison Porchnik: I hope Roddy sends us an update before 6:00 pm. I'm on tenterhooks!
	4:48pm Ralphine: I'm trying to think of a vibraphone song that I don't like, but I can't.
	4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Weapons-grade cheddar?
	4:50pm Clay Pigeon: Starbuck? no wait ... that's xylophone.
	♥ 4:50pm common: i want a vibraphone.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm rrg: Matt's song about Scotch Plains NJ is, uh, a bit superficial, since you ask. But, really, how could it be otherwise? He can't really visit all these places and still make money at it.
	♥ 4:53pm Alex of Chicago: Woodbridge must be near Newbridge.
	♥ 4:54pm Skirkie: There's a Wawa in Woodbridge.
	4:54pm Mott: appreciate the Joe Frank. He is at his best when he is in the monologue...rather than acted out scenes.
	♥ 4:54pm tim from champaign: Ha! Stool Pigeon!
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm rrg: He didn't mention Route 35. I'm surprised.
	♥ 4:55pm efd: I'm surprised he didn't mention the mall!
	♥ 4:55pm Skirkie: And Route 1 Lingerie
	♥ 4:55pm efd: Skirkie, soon to be TWO Wawas!
	4:56pm steve: whats the minimum pledge for a Matt Farley song from your town? id like to hear the Ridgewood song - i don't live there but used to work at the Whole Foods.
	4:56pm steve: (Ridgewood, NJ)
	♥ 4:57pm Skirkie: I call the first one "The Newbridge Wawa" I saw a Goon Squad guy in there one night.
	♥ 4:58pm Skirkie: Jock Squad. I'm off today. In the brain.
	5:00pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Aw Thomas. He needs to meet Amanda and sing s duet.
	♥ 5:01pm mariano: Molly in Brooklyn: sounds a lot like my younger days...
	♥ 5:03pm Mike East: I was driving past a Wawa on the bus this morning as I was listening to the last episode of the Best Show, JUST as they were talking about Wawas.
	5:05pm glenn: wawa goose. www.roadsideattractions.ca...
	5:06pm Listener David in Budd Lake: Hidden Valley is no more
	♥ 5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to link to the fantastic - like Revolver-worthy - Wawa Hoagiefest songs on the Beware of the Blog Fake Beatles page - but for some reason the BotB page just will not load for me right now...
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm rrg: I used to pass a Wawa on Lake Ave. on the way to Rahway, but it was replaced with something less awesome.
	5:07pm Listener David in Budd Lake: He sang about my town Mt Olive.
	5:08pm bobdoesthings: cruising on 17? he hasnt driven rt 17 before
	5:08pm steve: haha, there's apparently very few defining characteristics to Ridgewood.
	5:08pm Kevlicki: I just watched a hilarious short doc about Action Park, which was in Vernon, NJ. "The most dangerous water park in te USA"
	5:09pm Droll: I was afraid Mr. Farley was about to sing a list of zip codes, which would mark a new low, but then he told me look it up myself, which is a new high.
	🎸 ♥ 5:10pm Alison Porchnik: Yuba City is within 2 hours' driving distance of where I grew up, does that count?
	5:10pm Warwick: Hey, does he have a warwick song?!?
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm rrg: I'm trying to like these, I really am. But I think Matt may already have gotten all the money he's likely to get out of me.
	5:11pm Kevlicki: This place was friggin dangerous, a rite of passage for all teenagers that lived nearby http://touch.dailymotion.com/video/x13qzyv_the-most-insane-amusement-park-ever-part-1-of-2_tech
	♥ 5:12pm tim from champaign: Pledge to help keep Irwin's vultures at bay!
	5:13pm WaveyDavey: I second that Tim from C
	5:14pm LovecraftDude888: too tired to be on a lot today but....I went to Action Park once in my life, around 1993, and it was cool! Dangerous perhaps...but fun! mainly stuck to the water rides
	5:14pm Chris: More songs about English towns!
	5:15pm _crazyandy_______________________________: how much do I need to pledge to be eligible for the amanda?
	5:16pm Kevlicki: I was terrified of the tidal pool. Used to snowboard there in the winter too.
	♥ 5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...here they are ! I love these Wawa songs ! : blog.wfmu.org...
	♥ 5:16pm Mike East: I was singing "bad" to myself this morning....though it might have been "fat"
	5:17pm LovecraftDude888: I went to wave pool a few times at some other water park in Florida Ocala FlA....in the 80s...figured I would drown didn't like that part of it
	♥ 5:18pm tim from champaign: OH MAN! I having difficulty not falling on the floor dying of laughter from the Amanda song.
	5:18pm WaveyDavey: "Won't you eat my pee!" Best lyric ever.
	♥ 5:19pm Uncle Michael: This is the best thing I've ever heard.
	5:19pm Droll: . o O ( Your dental plates land on me? ) Amanda is one of the great librettist of our time.
	5:20pm LovecraftDude888: I also went on Alpine Slide in early 80s in PA somewhere and it was terrifying! But I didn't go flying off it thank goodness
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Alison Porchnik: Thank you for Yuba City. He really put some thought into that one.
	5:22pm WaveyDavey: Gum wrapper chains....a lost art.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm rrg: I thought this was produced by Frank Zappa. I guess not.
	5:22pm MikeY: FUCKING GREAT I just found the opening for my comedy show. eviltwistedtunes.blogspot.com...
	5:22pm Kathy: I can't wait to get this more I hear stuff on it How do I not have this already. sounds like a deranged CraigsList ad.
	5:22pm WaveyDavey: I hope you know that this is a girl writing.......Buahhahhaahahaa
	5:23pm fleep: Sure. It's a girl writing. Keep on believing.
	5:25pm _crazyandy_______________________________: are there girls on the internet?
	♥ 5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sure it's Salinger writing. Keep on believing.
	♥ 5:28pm Mike East: I think I remember going to a train shop in Cedar Grove with my dad when I was a kid
	♥ 5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You have to sing it Mike.
	5:29pm LovecraftDude888: pegged it Tony's Train Shop? it's Cedar Grove. never been but I was a huge train modeler as a kid and my Uncle even more so
	5:29pm Kevlicki: He's Wesley Willis
	♥ 5:30pm Mike East: I was, Rabbit, you just couldn't hear it. Actually, I pretty much sing all my comments
	5:30pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Tony's Train Town! My friend bought a katana from there.
	♥ 5:30pm ChrisB.: To me Matt Farley is more like East Berlin. and I sure miss the wall right now.
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm rrg: Show-off. No, really, it's great.
	5:31pm glenn: i don't think i've witnessed a 5k donation before.
	5:31pm WaveyDavey: $5000? Now I believe in angels. Thank you for all of us.
	5:32pm fleep: Yikes. Wag that dog.
	♥ 5:32pm Mike East: cool. Yeah, there was a period of a few months that my dad and I were trying to get into model trains. Got his Lionel engine and coal car refurbished, then I guess we just kinda gave up. Good memories though. Ohhhh Yeaaaaaahhh!!
	♥ 5:32pm Uncle Michael: Congratulations, Irwin!
	♥ 5:32pm Guido (Cologne): Congratulations!
	5:33pm LovecraftDude888: a real katana? far out! sharpened? Willis Hobbies in Mineola LI is almost as good
	🎸 ♥ 5:33pm chris: That is kick ass!
	5:33pm Droll: Congrats Irwin! I hope this doesn't mean you're going upscale. Please don't gentrify the part of FMU that plays Amanda.
	5:34pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Alright, alright, alright!!!!
	♥ 5:34pm dale: dang, didn't know you were on clay...missed the whole show.
	♥ 5:34pm dale: jenni o does randy newman?!
	5:34pm _crazyandy_______________________________: We used it to destroy some watermelons ya
	5:35pm Adam in Portland and Lynnwood: 5K in a single pledge!!!!! Wooooo hoooooooooo, WFMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:35pm _crazyandy_______________________________: correction- Pumpkins*.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm rrg: This song is autobiographical. I should have known that but didn't until recently.
	♥ 5:35pm dale: D'OH! got confused - i was listening to nilsson sings newman earlier this week.
	♥ 5:35pm Uncle Michael: Great Nilsson cover. harry knew about feeling all clammy inside too, Irwin.
	♥ 5:35pm tim from champaign: Way to go!!!
	5:35pm Laura L: Wow! That is a wonderful generosity from Mark and Nina--would that we all could do that! Great joy and happiness!
	5:35pm LovecraftDude888: i think I had an AFX slot car set as a kid also but that got decimated fast
	5:36pm berbo: I could listen to Nilsseon all day long
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm chris: Just 45 or so more of those $5k pledges to make the station's goal. Doable.
	♥ 5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 5K ! Thanks from all FMU lovers.
	5:37pm jeff g: been listening since late 70s-------when when water towered----thanks mark & { already forgot} very cool
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm chris: Or maybe my math is lame... there's a reason I'm not a CPA. 45... 95... whatever! :-)
	5:44pm WaveyDavey: Clay P asked earlier how Irwin ranks this marathon against those in the past. Has Irwin's answer changed since then?
	5:46pm ?: Irwin is worth more than his goal!
	5:48pm WaveyDavey: Worth so very much more... everyone who pledges is an angel.
	♥ 5:49pm dale: i stopped buying music (except for the occasional yard sale record) and give my cd budget to fmu. they curate better than i do.
	5:49pm Adam in Portland and Lynnwood: I'm lovin' on all WFMU pledgers......in my mind! Provided it is welcomed, of course! ;-)))))
	♥ 5:52pm dale: i don't really swing adam, but the sentiment is flattering nonetheless.
	5:52pm steve: love all pledgers, great and small
	5:54pm WaveyDavey: @dale: I'm the opposite. I buy more music now because the WFMU DJs present me with so much more stuff worth having in my collection than any other radio station has ever done.
	5:54pm steve: dale - i normally spend most of my meager disposable income on records, this year i decided to hold off for a few weeks and give the proceeds to FMU instead. seemed like the thing to do.
	5:54pm Droll: Pre-Hendrix Noel Redding? More importantly, he played on a Tom Wilson produced Trifecta?!?! Nice batterie by Leslie Sampson.
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm rrg: That was a trifecta?
	5:55pm Droll: Thanks Irwin & Clay, break a leg Sunday night!
	♥ 5:57pm Guido (Cologne): Post Hendrix Noel Redding (1972)
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm rrg: Yep. I'll be watchin'. Bye, all. Thanks, Irwin and Clay.
	5:57pm WaveyDavey: Great show Irwin and Clay. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
	5:57pm Adam in Portland and Lynnwood: Dale, I will keep my love at an agreed upon distance.
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm chris: Woot! Thanks, guys!
