The lazy calm at the week's start. A few live performances included, but mainly music with an ear tilted toward string-driven things.

You always start out your show with something amazing, Irene. Courting Autumn was splendid, sounds like what David Gilmour has been putting out lately, simple, beautiful melodies. | |

Irene:
Thanks Wes! Sometimes I'm never quite sure what to start with, and I found the perfect thing in WFMU's new bin. I must say, I've not been keeping track of what David Gilmour's been up to but I'm open to suggestion. ---Irene | |

Motorhead are about a hundred times cooler since I saw the documentary about "Ace of Spades" on "Classic Albums." Those guys are hilarious. | |

Y'know... Can't a person do a gentle show without someone saying "Pick up the tempo"? Inquisitively, I. | |

Wes:
Your show is perfect. They are carrying over the Motorhead madness from another playlist discussion, and are only trying to rib you. | |

Yes, it was Rebecca Hall and her husband Ken Anderson. New album called Hungrytown. Very nice! ---I. | |

I thought so, I haven't seen her in ages. I know her from years and years and years ago! We lived in this crazy house in Cambridge one summer. She was a crazy thing. 1988. | |

Perhaps a compromise is possible. Is there perchance a "Motorhead Unplugged"? | |
|

suzi:
Sounds good | |

Maybe something from the Symphonic Motorhead tribute album....? | |

'tis a Motorhead-free-zone at the moment! | |

Hi from London.. Just joined the show. Im sad I missed Robert Wyatt and the Malcolm Le Maistre tracks. Was this the old ISB chap ? I also wished i'd heard the Redwing Blackbird track, I saw some Redwings and some Blackbirds today . Always a joy to see the first Redwings of winter. | |

Nice Robin Hitchcock track. He was standing behind me to buy a newspaper a couple of weeks ago. I was too shy to say hello.Still an impressive looking man... | |

Irene:
I've now had the opportunity to talk to Robyn a few times and find he's totally charming. Even got to drive him out to WFMU, and spent a while stuck in traffic talking about politics, and cats among many things. Helped ease my butterflies about interviewing him. He's also more than a head taller than I am so I could easily have been intimidated as well. Made me even more of a fan, if that's even possible. ---Irene | |

I was quite excited just to have seen him in the newsagents. I got back to the office and said ' hey guess what ? Ive just seen Robyn Hitchcock' and , of course , no-one knew who the hell I was talking about. The kids of today eh ? | |
|

suzi:
Does he like cats? | |
|
Mon. 12/3/07 6:10pm
Irene:
Well at least you can say you saw him up close, Graeme! Pity they don't know what they're missing. Have a good night (and hope you get to spot him again.)! ---Irene | |

The day that Irene brought Robyn Hitchcock to WFMU, he gave a fascinating (and somewhat stern) lecture on the physics of proper tea making as it pertains to agitated molecules being heated in a kettle versus a microwave. It was the most terrifyingly great celebrity encounter I've ever had at WFMU and Scott and I responded by looking at our shoes and grunting: "Yes, Robyn". | |

Irene:
Mike, I think that was actually the day the Soft Boys came out to WFMU, which was itself a truly amazing day. I remember babbling "It's a pleasure," each time one of the band introduced themselves. I think I've graduated to having an actual conversation with the band members without totally embarrassing myself. Oh, and Suzi, Robyn does like cats. He had one at the time, and was extolling the benefits of pet insurance. ---I. | |

Mike Lupica:
Ahh, yes. You are correct, it was the Soft Boys! I have a pretty strong fear of famous people in general, but I think the only time I COMPLETELY dorked out was when Joe Strummer visited Hova's show. I was so beside myself with awe that when Strummer offered to shake my hand during introductions, I nearly handed him the bag of trash I was taking to WFMU's dumpster. | |

Love the show. The blue background under the playlist is killing my eyes. | |

Thanks for saying so, Christo. Sometimes it displays weirdly on other computers. I may try to lighten it a bit. ---I. | |
