WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from April 30, 2014

Listener comments!
	3:03pm Listening Out There: There had to be a punk band at some point named Extreme Unction...
	3:03pm Sem Chumbo: Tuxedo Unction, what's your function? Oh, boy, I remember being Catholic...
	3:04pm Irwin: Thx to Laura L for the Sacramental link.
	3:08pm Parq: For further reading: www.catholicauthors.com...
	3:08pm Alison Porchnik: Yes it is quite funky now. Indeed.
	3:09pm common: hello irwin and good peoples.
	3:12pm Guido from Cologne: Love the artwork and the AIFN-version. Guten TZAG everybody.
	3:14pm Guido from Cologne: I want that AS a T-Shirt.
	3:16pm Rectitude: Asaalam malekum Irwin,,, aNd EveRYbOdY
	3:17pm paula pc: how sublime is Family Fodder; that's rhetorical
	3:17pm common: this family fodder is grand! oh, you beat me paula.
	3:18pm Droll: Firstly, I don't see any cows so I don't know why she's running, and secondly she's running in the rain looks like she's about to be struck in the head by lightning. I'm left to infer that's what Kevin was also doing... Thirdly, I love Family Fodder, what an amazing sound, still totally fresh.
	3:18pm Fuzzy: Hola all! Digging the Family Fodder these days!
	3:20pm Listening Out There: Extreme unction for playing Tsukematsukeru...
	3:21pm GG Allin Thicke: Maybe the girl was frightened of the Cows of AmRep.
	3:24pm common: lots o stars being clicked!
	3:25pm GG Allin Thicke: This song makes the workday much much better....
	3:26pm Sem Chumbo: I am no theologian but it appears to me that the young woman has committed a venal sin in her irrational fear of cows and, as the Divine Smiting Presence is about to run a few million mega-watts through her forehead and teach her a lesson, she will be a candidate shortly for Extreme Unction, one of the three sacraments which constitute the Last Rites.
	3:30pm TDK60: Irwin, the Partch show at Monctlair St. Univ. was great. Got to try some of the instruments afterward. Only catch, it wasn't free as I thought you'd said. It was $15. Still, special.
	3:31pm Mike East: Almost bought Lonerism a couple weeks ago...maybe next week
	👻 3:33pm rrg: @Sam: "venial" sin (not "venal"). I speak pedantically and technically That's the RC jargon, I believe.
	3:33pm GG Allin Thicke: From: www.fisheaters.com... "...At all times, the priest will be quiet and somber; don't expect him to socialize before or afterward, as he carries with him the Body of Christ."
	3:43pm Sem Chumbo: rrg: right you are, but close enough for the long-lapsed and unrepentant. Not expecting a lightning bolt anytime soon, either.
	3:50pm Droll: Nice editing by The Books!
	3:52pm common: love the books
	3:59pm ratbone: do i hear uncle woody?
	4:03pm Fredericks: Wonderful choice, Irwin.
	4:05pm Rectitude Hlaughning out loud: www.flickr.com...
	👻 4:10pm SeanG: cool tune right here
	4:12pm Mike East: is Mother's Park&Ride flooded?
	4:12pm Mike East: does the NWS get that detailed?
	4:16pm earrie: Detailed would be a storm graph. Maps with runoff rates in relation to substrate (eg. concrete vs earth)
	4:18pm earrie: er, 'and and and..'
	4:33pm Droll: Laura sings this great countrypolitan tune with a fantastic melody and hook, and then comes the jazz and you're reminded how itty-bitty country/pop is. Then you listen to orchestral and you realize how itty-bity jazz is...
	4:34pm Irwin: "Ask Me Now" written by Monk.
	4:34pm TR In MI: Monk! Pianist did a nice job of imitating his solo stride style.
	4:36pm common: @TR and that aint easy!
	4:41pm TR In MI: @Common It sure ain't. My hat's off to anyone who can sound anything like Monk, much less put their own spin on his compositions.
	4:43pm jan: I'm especially enjoying this portion of the program.
	4:44pm Irwin: Thanks, Jan. Give me five minutes more and I'll play something that cause you to dive for the mute button.
	4:45pm Droll: [rubbing hands in excitement] I accept your challenge.
	4:47pm Guido from Cologne: This This Heat track was one of my favourites on Recommemnded Records Sampler 1982.
	4:49pm Guido from Cologne: ... aaah I see, seems still to be more or less exclusively on that album. Same 24 track tape looop as on song with "24 track loop" on first album. The "nice version" so to say ...
	4:55pm efd: Thanks Irwin!
	4:56pm Droll: Crevice Tool... wasn't that from a Joel Frank episode?
	4:57pm Listening Out There: The crevice tool?!?!? Not the crevice tool...nooooooo
	👻 4:59pm rrg: Crevice Tool: www.youtube.com...
	5:00pm Droll: ___Sacramental Series III___ What Irwin Was Doing - CREVICE TOOL. The Listener Who Was Frighted of Listening - ULTRA UNCTION
	5:02pm Irwin: Yr welk, EfD
	5:05pm Moonbeam: did you "vacuum the main studio" already, irwin??
	5:05pm Mike East: I heard the Dan Tullis/Joel Clark commercial on the radio the other day for the first time. I had no idea that was in current rotation. Its ridiculous!
	5:06pm blee: Pinback!
	5:06pm jan: Irwin- Thanks for the regular playing of JAZZ, a musical genre I had resisted listening to for many years. By the time I had a stereo set JAZZ had devolved into saxophonic bleating that were too hard on my ears. Aurally it was analogous to expressionist art which I enjoyed looking at but preferred not to hear.
	5:09pm Irwin: I hear ya, Jan. When someone says they "love jazz," it usually means they haven't been put to the test.
	5:10pm northguineahills: I believe I have this Boyd Rice LP.
	👻 5:11pm Alison Porchnik: As Monica sez (I think?) "Love and jazz should never be free."
	5:11pm Listening Out There: Boyd Rice is deep
	5:11pm Irwin: BRING BACK THE CIRCUS MAXIMUS!
	5:12pm Mike East: perhaps, but as Cecile says, "The best jazz in life is free"
	5:12pm Dominick: Oh I do, I do !
	5:12pm Fredericks: Irwin, Jan, are you guys bad mouthing Pharaoh?
	5:13pm Irwin: As Monica Lynch once remarked, "Jazz should never be free. It should be kept under lock and key. It should never even be eligible for parole."
	5:13pm Listening Out There: Boyd Rice might be deeper than Jim Morrison
	5:13pm Droll: Dan Tullis and Joel Clark are still at it? Bring back Circus Maximus indeed!
	👻 5:13pm Alison Porchnik: OK, so I added the love part. Which I also believe.
	5:14pm Fredericks: Oh, a conservative are ya?
	👻 5:14pm Alison Porchnik: Free love is for hippies
	5:15pm Listening Out There: Jim Morrison might be deeper than Elmer Fudd. Might...
	5:15pm Irwin: As charged, Fred.
	5:15pm Fredericks: It's free because that's all it's worth.
	5:16pm earrie: Like freedom fries?
	5:17pm Fredericks: I feel the same way about the "free market". Life is funny.
	5:19pm Andrew Waterloo: Jazz is the sort of thing you hate until you figured out that you love it.
	5:20pm berbo: record skipping much?
	5:21pm Guido from Cologne: what remix is this? typical WFMU symptome ... ... is my online-player going nuts or is this intentional by the DeeJay ? hehehe .... Actually VLC-Play produces such loops after two hours of running or so. ... if some avantgarde is going on ... i might no notice for half an hor.
	5:22pm Fuzzy: Have mercy!
	5:22pm Listening Out There: We have reached the Daffy in Wackyland portion of today's program...
	👻 5:22pm rrg: Do you have any music-box music? I think I'd like to hear some of that now.
	5:26pm earrie: Amanda!
	👻 5:27pm rrg: That's not quite what I had in mind.
	5:27pm That Bipolar Guy: OMG!!! It's Amanda!!! She's back
	5:27pm Droll: I want to be Amanda when I grow up.
	5:27pm Wally: Someone wake up Hazel. She needs to kick the music box.
	👻 5:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for not playing Amanda until after we came in from outside!
	5:29pm dvbinnj: Ahhh yes, our favorite growling little girl
	5:29pm Guido from Cologne: i urgently need some nerve-tearing industrial noise avanguarde now !!!
	5:32pm That Bipolar Guy: Just when I thought it was safe to listen to Irwin again! Surprise!!! It's Amanda
	5:34pm That Bipolar Guy: The nightmare of my dreams
	5:37pm danjoseph: Hi Irwin, remind me where that lo-fi version of Four Organs comes from? You play it often I think...right?
	5:38pm Irwin: Four Optigans by Pea Hicks. Not sure if he ever released it.
	5:38pm danjoseph: Thanks, it's great!
	5:41pm Guido from Cologne: That's geat!!! (Seems like my request worked.)
	👻 5:43pm rrg: "Alerth" Bedasse. Right, it's not as funny that way.
	5:48pm paula pc: The Fall amaze
	5:48pm Laura L: Thank goodness for archives when the day's work was like being chased by cows.
	5:49pm Irwin: Hi, LL. Distracted this afternoon?
	5:51pm paula pc: WOOOOOOOOO
	5:51pm Laura L: No can play radio during long meeting with client. Oh, well... archive!
	👻 5:52pm rrg: Hi, LL. I like it better when cows aren't chasing you.
	5:53pm Laura L: Cows are scary even though they cannot run so fast.
	5:59pm Droll: LL, Archives are wonderful, even if they make me think I'm late when they give the ID and it's not the top of the hour. Thanks, Irwin! Have a fun week yinz!
	9:48am Michael: Wonderful show Irwin!
