Listener comments!

  3:06pm
Irwin:

First Comment. SUCKAH!!!!!!
  3:06pm
annie:

2nd comment!!!!
  3:07pm
oatman:

whoooo 2nd comment! wow, huh!
  3:07pm
Cecile:

I didn't know that you 'FMUers saw us commenters as adversaries, as "frenemies" of sorts.
  3:07pm
oatman:

annie - i'll be comment 2.5

irwin - dooooooon't delete the comments mannnn
  3:09pm
Bad Ronald:

I for one like that the comments have become integrated. We've been validated which is better than violated. Of course that is unless violation is your bag.
  3:09pm
annie:

word oatman, we were typing at the same time, i threw irwin the curve ball.. he missed it!! and the commenters are the glue!!! the glue!!!
  3:10pm
Bad Ronald:

1st rule DJs cannot have first comment rights. If just plain unfair!
  3:11pm
Cecile:

you have the right not to be killed...
  3:12pm
Proph:

play some Biffy.
  3:12pm
Bad Ronald:

2nd Rule - no outside food.
  3:14pm
oatman:

I think that the whole 'comment talk' on the tail end of kenny g's show is to mask the fact that kenny g and irwin are actually the same person! i think there was a whole coast to coast (art bell) show dedicated to the conspiracy. it's a conspiracy mannn.
  3:16pm
Bad Ronald:

You have the right to free speech, that is if you're dumb enough to actually to actually try it!
  3:17pm
Bad Ronald:

Did I just hear a thud then a swoosh?
  3:18pm
Cecile:

that Eurythmics song was probably the best thing I heard from them. really nice.
  3:19pm
annie:

what was that BR, i just fell and dropped my fan...
  3:19pm
fishmonkeystew:

awwww. I missed the Sun Ra... Darn it.
  3:23pm
Irwin:

18th comment. Whoooooowooooooo!!!!
  3:25pm
Bad Ronald:

It does feel good. Doesn't it Irwin?
  3:25pm
Oatman:

Smoking now.
  3:27pm
Bad Ronald:

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays O-Man? I bet you're all "hopped up on goofballs" now too!
  3:27pm
doc:

what genre is this considered? Some form of jazz, I assume
  3:28pm
Bad Ronald:

Joe Jackson Lite
  3:29pm
Oatman:

Yes Ronald, very hopped on oats and that wacky tabacooo
  3:30pm
Bad Ronald:

(me too)
  3:30pm
zoey:

hey kenny! Do you read all the posts? What was that spoken word piece that you played--"please tell stella"; with the different accents? I had a guy play it for me a long time ago. He told me it was an experiment he did in college, recording people with different accents reading the poem he said he wrote. Hmmmmm...
  3:31pm
HotRod:

RRRRRRRASPUTINAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
  3:35pm
Oatman:

Ronald, we need to be hopped up - i am always anticipating Irwin's detour into new pop country tunes. Irwin, I love ya, and i still listen with white knuckles gripping my cup of spirits.
  3:36pm
fishmonkeystew:

I always prefered "all hepped up on goofballs".
  3:39pm
Oatman:

Can we add "all hepped up on goofballs crazypants" - I really do like the addition of 'pants' adding on to words. I'd rather someone scream "hey otispants" down the street then "hey otis".
  3:39pm
fishmonkeystew:

Actually, I meant "all goofed up on hop balls". Is work over yet?
  3:42pm
Oatman:

No not yet, 75 minutes left to go.
  3:42pm
fishmonkeystewpants:

I have to say I agree with you, Oatman.
  3:50pm
Oatman:

Irwin - tell us a classic story about WFMU - something that once happened on your show maybe?
  3:52pm
paulthepostman:

salutations posters and yeah, agree with all the above.
  4:00pm
paulthepostman:

having not denied myself of several appetizers, chicken kiev awaits is next.
  4:05pm
Laura L:

Irwin, if a classic story doesn't come to mind, how's about the kitten mew or hairball impression from days of old? All this talk about hop balls, how 'bout a hairball?
  4:05pm
annie:

alright for all of you who will be travelling tomorrow, be safe and happy. off to fight some dragons. those of you who will be around tomorrow, see you tomorrow..
  4:06pm
Carmichael:

With God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
  4:10pm
Sean Daily:

They can, Carmichael, just... not very well.
  4:13pm
Swami:

Nice. Wait. The Dead?! Still nice.
  4:14pm
Peter K.:

The drummer on "Fly With the Wind" is Billy Cobham. And thanks for the shout-out to my old man.
  4:14pm
Sean Daily:

Two things about your kitten-coughing-up-a-hairball imitation, Irwin:

1. That was probably the creepiest thing I've ever heard over a pair of headphones.
2. Just how, exactly, did you find out that you coud DO that? On second thoughts, I'm not sure if I want to know...
  4:16pm
Irwin:

This was pre-Mahavishnu, Peter? Or just moonlighting? Cobham, that is, not your dad.
  4:21pm
Peter K.:

It was actually post-Mahavishnu, or at least after Cobham's tenure: 1976. I believe he was leading his own band by this time but still occasionally did sideman dates, undoubtedly for a very high price -- which in this case at least was clearly worth it!

By the way, how nice to hear someone on WFMU actually play the Dead (and presumably without irony); I had thought it was against the rules. Lovely song, too. But for the record the Dead is Grateful, not Greatful.
  4:23pm
Carmichael:

Martin Newell! Irwin, you opened my ears to them via "Clara Bow"
  4:24pm
Irwin:

Spelling corrected. We have an auto-spell feature on the accu and it picked up someone else's miscue. I'm graettfill for the proofraeding.
  4:33pm
Sean Daily:

I ar not seing nuttin rong wit yur spelin, Erwin.
  4:34pm
paulthepostman:

this is becoming a nice frilly trippy set irwin.
  4:44pm
Bad Ronald:

Back in time for Alice. Sweet!
  4:58pm
Carmichael:

Back in time for Elvis. Just as sweet!
  5:04pm
Carmichael:

Jeeesus, I can barely tolerate this guy's voice. Higher than Dream Theater.
  5:13pm
Jason:

Great show, great Steely Dan!
  5:16pm
Graeme:

Does anyone still drink Black Cows ?
  5:16pm
Ismael:

love big "Black Cow"!
  5:18pm
Bad Ronald:

What constitutes a Black Cow?
  5:18pm
Ismael:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream_soda#Root_beer_float
  5:19pm
Graeme:

Milk , Guinness and vodka. I'm guessing.
  5:20pm
Bad Ronald:

TX
  5:20pm
Cecile:

It's a Coke float. Coke and ice cream.
A brown cow is a root beer float.
  5:22pm
Graeme:

That's slightly disappointing. I always assumed the bloke in the song was drowning his sorrows in the traditional way ; not having a chuffing ice cream.
  5:25pm
Bad Ronald:

Seems like he was a pedophile...
  5:26pm
Bad Ronald:

Great BBs track btw...
  5:28pm
Cecile:

I always imagined the suject of the song being stoned out of their mind and stuffing their face with sweets. Just a mess. Like in the Basketball Diaries when they are eating at the dairy delicatessen.

Oh, man, Irwin, I think this is the Lower Michigan national anthem.
  5:29pm
Cecile:

also, positioning ice cream treats with serious drug use I always thought was a great image.
  5:29pm
chloe:

this is a serious staple of canadian radio + cancon; memories of hearing this so so many times as a kid.
  5:30pm
randy in NC:

the kings, an efd fave....
  5:30pm
Graeme:

Oh no I'm all Black Cow confused now .. a bloomin' Paedo !
  5:30pm
Cecile:

yeah, I was in the Detroit area when this song came out, lots of cancon overflow
  5:30pm
Bad Ronald:

The organ in this Kings track is steller!
  5:31pm
Andres:

Irwin, I thought you had friends here in Canada? You have at least legions of fans and admirers. Anyway, this Kings son is an epic classic of our glorious nation. Glad you finally heard it and thanks for playing it!
  5:31pm
chloe:

i've never heard it in such.. high quality though. i kind of like it now.
  5:32pm
Parq:

This is okay, but what you really want to hear is Evan "Funk" Davies performing this classic medly in front of the Hoof and Mouth Synfonia during last winter's marathon finale.
  5:32pm
Joe:

Isn't this Evan Funk Davies?
  5:32pm
Bad Ronald:

Heroin is known to lead to a sweet tooth. Take "Savoy Truffle" for example.
  5:33pm
Cecile:

Graeme, my joke about Steely Dan is that all their songs are about dope and/or jailbait, and this covers both.

That too, BR.
  5:36pm
Graeme:

Thanks Cecile ...what about FM though ? No static at all , or little girls ..or dope
  5:37pm
Cecile:

yeah, but you know that "party time" probably involved some of both off camera....
  5:37pm
Carmichael:

Irish Rock! Now we're talkin', cuz ...

And none o'that bolloxy U2 shite.
  5:40pm
Parq:

Ah, see that? I'd forgotten that OPI was pounding the skins on that one. Even more reason to regard the original as mere prologue.
  5:40pm
Graeme:

...yes Carmichael , quite right. Lets have some Microdisney !
  5:42pm
Carmichael:

Deadly, Graeme! Or some Stiff Little Fingers ....
  5:43pm
Graeme:

Do you remember The Stars Of Heaven ? I loved those. I only ever heard them on Peel.
  5:44pm
Bad Ronald:

Wottabout the Dropkicks? Or is that too yank?

And amen to the U2 bit!
  5:45pm
Graeme:

I don't remember them BR . What period ?
  5:46pm
Cecile:

criminy, the Hold Steady really think they are the E Street Band now.
  5:46pm
Graeme:

mad child alert !
  5:46pm
Bad Ronald:

Dropkick Murphys now - http://www.dropkickmurphys.com/
  5:47pm
Sean Daily:

AGH! It's Kenny G! He's snuck back into the studio while Irwin was taking a leak!
  5:48pm
Carmichael:

Irwin, you are truly twisted. Just the way I like it.
  5:48pm
Graeme:

cheers BR - i'm heading there after the show
  5:49pm
Graeme:

bet he was at Neverland once or twice
  5:49pm
Carmichael:

BR must be talking about the Dropkick Murphys. Boston Irish?? They're a whole different breed of Celt, if you ask me.
  5:50pm
Bad Ronald:

We did a PATV show once debuting "We do Herion" but we were upstaged by a group of 5 yr. olds doing "Buck Barney" dressed as PE (w/plastic uzis).
  5:51pm
Bad Ronald:

Yeah Charmichael. That's why I asked if it was "too yank". Kinda like the Pogues really aren't Irish.
  5:54pm
Carmichael:

Graeme, Stars of Heaven sounds vaguely familiar. I'll have to research them. I'm an old geezer, by the way, so I thought I knew it all from that era.

I was around when they was mad about Gilbert O'Sullivan. And of course, Lizzy live at the Rainbow.
  5:55pm
Graeme:

Oh i'm ancient too. Theres a little bit of them on Youtube and a few tracks on Itunes. Worth a look.
