Irwin, you owe us rectification!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:07pm From: AnAnonymousParty

DId I hear right, Morrisey died?

Wed. 3/25/09 3:08pm From: Parq

On tenterhooks waiting for that Disney tidbit you promised.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:09pm From: Cecile

you and Kenny should get a room. The tension is palpable.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:10pm From: Pissed Pistofferson

Kenny said the comments are a stream...of.....urine.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:11pm From: Parq

'Non, a quck check of Google News reveals nothing about him dying. There is something about him having a gig on March 28 at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods, CT. That's sort of the same thing, I s'pose.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:11pm From: Glenn L

They have a room!
It's called Studio A!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:13pm From: Cecile

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Wed. 3/25/09 3:13pm From: AnAnonymousParty

The comments shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is darkness.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:14pm From: Doug from DC

Morrisey stammered “look, either those curtains go or I do” then fell facedown on his kitchen floor.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:15pm From: AnAnonymousParty

An the audience wasn't sure whether to applaud or call 911.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:17pm From: Cecile

Irwin, can you play something from that good AC Newman disc that I like?

Wed. 3/25/09 3:18pm From: Cecile

I like this. It rocks.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:19pm From: Fake Cecile

Also play some Afroman. You know what'I'mmaaTalkin'Bout,Willis!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:21pm From: Real Cecile

If you're down with that, that is.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:24pm From: still b/p

More saw!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:25pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

I like that CVB cover of the Tusk Album.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:28pm From: Marshall Stacks

No! Not Miley Cyrus!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:29pm From: Parq

Rapture!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:30pm From: Marshall Stacks

I called it. DAMN YOU IRWIN!

Hey, this isn't bad....

Wed. 3/25/09 3:30pm From: Hillary

I feel like I'm in aerobics class with this craziness.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:30pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Oh sweet lord... I was hoping that maybe it was going to be Annette Funicello... who was the Hannah Montana of her time.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:30pm From: still b/p

We're in another golden age for lyricists, ain't we?

Wed. 3/25/09 3:31pm From: Cecile

who wrote the lyrics? there has to be a random lyric generator 'bot out there.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:31pm From: Jξrξmy thξ listξnξr

ok. i'm going crazy

Wed. 3/25/09 3:31pm From: Hillary

or rare tracks by the frozen head, himself

Wed. 3/25/09 3:31pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

But there is nothing.... lyrics... beats... Irwin.... I just... I don't get it.....

Wed. 3/25/09 3:31pm From: evan

painless

Wed. 3/25/09 3:32pm From: megisi

rhymed "invitation" and "nation" ... whoa ... Britney Spears never pulled that one off

Wed. 3/25/09 3:32pm From: Cecile

ice cream!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:32pm From: texas scott

ICE CREAM!!!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:33pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

The Crazy song was not as good as the other music I've heard here today. Even though a lot of the songs today were pretty crazy.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:33pm From: Parq

Golden age of lyrics? You know it!

http://tinyurl.com/Roundwd

Wed. 3/25/09 3:33pm From: Cecile

they should rhyme invitation, nation and self-flagellation...

Wed. 3/25/09 3:33pm From: Hillary

Ice cream?!!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:33pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

I JUST FIGURED IT OUT WITH THIS SONG! Miley Cyrus = Andrew W.K. Just listen to this song and add "party" a few times.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:33pm From: Marshall Stacks

I could sure go for some Tiffany right now.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:34pm From: Lizardner Dave

I'm trying to pinpoint the exact moment when Irwin started hating his audience...I think it was sometime last November for some reason.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:34pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

"you can change your style, you can change your dreams, you can cry, but everyone knows you gotta party hard."

Wed. 3/25/09 3:34pm From: jaypee

I'm feeling strangely empowered! Thank you!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:34pm From: Hillary

oooh rhyming "jeans" and "dreams". Classy.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:35pm From: Cecile

I WANT TO HEAR ANDREW WK LIKE RIGHT NOW

Wed. 3/25/09 3:35pm From: Mark

Time to modulate!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:35pm From: still b/p

Miley is antagonizing more mammals than Cruella in her prime ever could've dreamt of.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:36pm From: Cecile

andrew wk has biggger guitars and gives himself nosebleeds with the mic stand cause he is so INTENSE.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:36pm From: jon

this hurts.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:36pm From: BSI

I've been leaping around in a delirious spasm of glee with rainbows blooming outta my head, but I think I mashed a bunny back there...

Wed. 3/25/09 3:37pm From: Hillary

And Andrew W K is a motivational speaker now.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:37pm From: ksmak

OMG this is turning my organs into high-fructose corn syrup. No more Miley! Please!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:38pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Anyone notice how this art brut song, outside of the lyrics, sounds like the Miley song. I think Irwin is trying to prove a point to the hipsters.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:38pm From: AnAnonymousParty

If my daughter were here she'd be giving me funny looks.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:39pm From: Cecile

but the art brut tells a coherent story

Wed. 3/25/09 3:40pm From: Cecile

and the andrew wk gives good life advice:
If you must party, you must party hard.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:40pm From: Unclear on the Concept

Who's this Art Brut guy? Is he cute?

Wed. 3/25/09 3:40pm From: craigslist OC

love doll (anaheim)
from OC free stuff
free aria giovanni love doll. used but clean.

not needed any more. getting divorced.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:41pm From: Art Smass

Never met him.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:42pm From: The Man@disney.com

Thanks for seeing the light, after our little "talk" in my office earlier.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:43pm From: Cecile

now ,this is a real question -
what is that lovely record WFMU deejays play with children's songs about the stars and planets? I have some little relatives I'd like to find a copy of that for.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:44pm From: AnAnonymousParty

That's the "Save-A-.01 Dollar Superstore", right?

Wed. 3/25/09 3:47pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

No. .002 CENTS.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:48pm From: Jess

You mean $ .002

Wed. 3/25/09 3:48pm From: Cecile

I found it.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:49pm From: still b/p

Keeping time is for the timid and the tight-assed.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:50pm From: texas scott

i like this station

Wed. 3/25/09 3:50pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Whoa, slow down there Freda, you're about to lap the song.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:52pm From: texas scott

puff,puff, give Cecile.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:53pm From: Cecile

thanks, man.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:55pm From: Kat

Loving today's show. Thank you for all the smiles and even for the bursts of laughter!

Wed. 3/25/09 3:55pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Why is there a 'cough' button, but no sneeze, belch, fart or hiccup buttons?

Wed. 3/25/09 3:55pm From: texas scott

no Cecile,the children's album

Wed. 3/25/09 3:56pm From: Parq

Yeah, 'Cile, I'm curious about what song it turned out to be. I'll bet it was one of the songs on the Greasy Kid Stuff space-songs comp from a few years back.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:56pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Me and you alone, Irwin. I always wished I liked beer, but nope.

Wed. 3/25/09 3:59pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

She had a sophmore slump. But she went back to the magic that rocket shipped her to the top of the charts.... and our hearts.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:00pm From: Cecile

oh, it's space songs by Tom Glazer and Dottie Evans.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:00pm From: texas scott

thank you

Wed. 3/25/09 4:01pm From: Kat

Parq and Cecile -- Those Glazer/ Evans songs are available here: http://www.acme.com/jef/singing_science/

Wed. 3/25/09 4:01pm From: BSI

Most brilliant artists suffer creative slumps when they do rehab and/or go clean somehow. So clearly, Ms. Montana has gone back to snorting Mandrax tincture and mainlining corn syrup...

Wed. 3/25/09 4:02pm From: Parq

"Watch me jump! Oh, that's easy on the moon!" I swear I had that record when I was a pre-schooler. I think a dinosaur ate it.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:03pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Was this the theme to that 1980's movie "Just One of the Guys"?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:04pm From: still b/p

re: golden age of lyricists --
the evidence....piles higher.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:05pm From: Cecile

thanks, Kat!
I also found them elsewhere, but I'm always glad to have a second link cause they don't always work.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:08pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:09pm From: Irwin

Sean: 82nd, to be precise.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:09pm From: Doug from DC

Since you're reading the comments, Irwin, B.J. Snowden is playing DC on Saturday and Greenbelt, MD on Sunday, and this appears to be part of a tour.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:10pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Sean.. I mean, come on. This is Wednesday. You are really slacking off. You should do what I do on Wednesdays... and not get a lick of work finished so that you can follow intensely with every aspect of every show. Thursdays are for catch up.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:13pm From: Hillary

Pearly, oh how I wish I could manage that.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:14pm From: rv

<-- drums reminded me of the Seven Samurai opening credits score

Wed. 3/25/09 4:15pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

I can manage it until they find out?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:16pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

This song has the same drum beat as Vitamin C. At least that was the first thing that my ears picked up.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:17pm From: Sean Daily

I know, Pearlÿ Sweets. I... I... I hang my head in SHAAAAAME. SHAAAAAME, DO YOU HEAR!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:17pm From: Parq

Love the spare, heartfelt sound of this Mirah. Great album name too.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:19pm From: Father Pearlÿ Sweets

Sean, just do five hail mary's and go for the touchdown score.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:20pm From: Fritz Paper

The Detroit Free Press says that Uriel Jones, a drummer with the Motown studio band the Funk Brothers, died yesterday of complications from a heart attack.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:20pm From: Hillary

I prefer the NBC news, theme.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:22pm From: Kat

Benjamin is so adorable! What leads a kid his age to the harp? Thanks again, Irwin!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:22pm From: Ike

"Hail Marys" does not have an apostrophe. In other news, OH GOD I've started with the calling out of apostrophe abuse again. I can't help it.

Nice Cantina band rendition!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:22pm From: Parq

Gone but not forgotten, Harpo.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:23pm From: G.

Apostrophe Police, arrest this girl

Wed. 3/25/09 4:25pm From: Cecile

how sweet is this song?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:26pm From: Cecile

this sounds like a great weekend to me.
He should write lyrics for Miley

Wed. 3/25/09 4:27pm From: owen

""Hail Marys" does not have an apostrophe. "

- i can think of a way in which it would.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:28pm From: Cecile

Wow, a song I know! I downloaded that Scala this weekend, it's pretty great.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:28pm From: G

Sorry.

For a minute there, I lost myself.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:31pm From: Ike

Owen: No.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:32pm From: Sean Daily

Do you need any more evidence that Disney is EE-VILL?! First the "It's a Small World Ride", and now THIS?!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:35pm From: Jess

Only 105 comments? We must do better.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:36pm From: Kat

Any at UCB Theatre tonight:
http://newyork.ucbtheatre.com/shows/2010

UCB Theatre is one of the things I most cherish about Manhattan. Best bang for your $5.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:37pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Actu'ally got a bit of w'ork to do for the last twe'nty or so minut'e's. Meow. Don't they kno'w it is my Wedn'esday!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:37pm From: BSI

I, for one, became a satanist immediately after my first spin on the Teacup ride. Never connected those before now...

Wed. 3/25/09 4:38pm From: G

The punctuation of Hail Mary's not exactly the biggest topic to wrangle about in freeform music show chat.

So Owen: Yes.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:38pm From: Kat

Err, uh, ANDY at UCB tonight...

Wed. 3/25/09 4:38pm From: Cecile

aw, Badfinger. One of the saddest band stories ever.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:39pm From: owen

ike. i apologise. but i figure if youre going to make crass jokes they should at least be filtered by obtrusive grammatical interpretation and euphemism.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:39pm From: AnAnonymosParty

You mean it's not "Hails Mary"?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:39pm From: owen

(which, to clarify is what i was doing)

Wed. 3/25/09 4:40pm From: G

Hells yeah

Wed. 3/25/09 4:41pm From: Parq

'Non, he means it's not "Hail Mar'ys".

Wed. 3/25/09 4:43pm From: Ike

Owen, me no understander.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:45pm From: texas scott

what's all this talk about grammar.
Damn it ,this a music show!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:46pm From: Cecile

YAY! BellRays!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:47pm From: Bäd R☺nald

Yes this is nice!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:49pm From: owen

you're right texas scott. we should campaign for a grammar show on 'FMU. (and ike, dont worry, just a bad joke.)

Wed. 3/25/09 4:50pm From: Jess

Irwin, are you mad at us?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:51pm From: C

do all the songs from her album start with "let's"?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:51pm From: Cecile

It's better than Lets'

Wed. 3/25/09 4:51pm From: texas scott

it's Disney day,jess

Wed. 3/25/09 4:51pm From: BSI

HANNAH!
WHEEEEEEeeeeeee!
I'm vomiting rainbows and smashin' bunnies like a fiend possessed! Flat rabbits as far as the eye can see! Wheeeeeee!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:52pm From: germanizer

whats with this Hanna Montana fad??

Wed. 3/25/09 4:52pm From: Sean Daily

Rawk, BSI.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:52pm From: Cecile

Miley, sing about rainy weekends and chocolate pie and playing Jack and Jill

Wed. 3/25/09 4:53pm From: Cecile

"little rabbit foo-foo hopping through the forest, picking up the field mice and BASHING them on the head"

Wed. 3/25/09 4:53pm From: jan

Maybe if I blast Hannah Montana really loud...would that make the difference...

Wed. 3/25/09 4:53pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Thing is, before she started doing "dumb pop" songs, Hannah had spent a few years working on noise albums, including an apperance on a "To Live and Shave in LA" and "No Neck Blues Band" recordings.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:53pm From: BSI

I hope this "Hannah Montana" person cashes in on this success quickly. Her career may be over as soon as her testes drop...

Wed. 3/25/09 4:53pm From: G

True, Owen. After all, nearly invisible punctuation marks are no. 4 on the top ten list of "generic offtopic internet argument topics 1993-2008," with a cume of 45.7 trillion posts as compiled by an altavista/google consortium.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:55pm From: Parq

Not to miss the point of PS's post, but I just gotta say that "To Live and Shave in LA" is the best band name *ever*.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:55pm From: greg G from DC

My 3 year old daughter got up and started to dance as soon as Miley Cyrus came on, must be some type of insidious subliminal mind control branding message in the damn songs that gets small kids to get and up and pay attention to this stuff!!!!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:55pm From: Sean Daily

Pearlÿ Sweets: NOOOOOOO! My Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana/whatever she is would NEVER do noise!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:55pm From: Cecile

BSI, I had to choke back a huge laugh at that one.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:56pm From: AnAnonymousParty

The folks have a slick sound, eh?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:56pm From: germanizer

Arthur Lee, bless him!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:56pm From: G.

Miley songs are focused grouped to death prerelease, right? Can't go damaging the franchise.

Wed. 3/25/09 4:56pm From: Bäd R☺nald

I must admit I liked the hook...

Wed. 3/25/09 4:56pm From: Cecile

PS, I heard that she was also doing sessions with eYe from the Boredoms...

Wed. 3/25/09 4:58pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

This is true! She's on the next super roots e.p. They do four 20 minute versions of "Let's Get Crazy (and Party Hard)"

Wed. 3/25/09 4:58pm From: Sean Daily

You crazy guys! Next thing you're going to tell me is that Hannah Montana was a bassist for Dimmu Borgir and is a member of OTO!

Please please PLEASE tell me that. It would just... be so karmic, you know?

Wed. 3/25/09 4:59pm From: megisi

Listening today is like a slalom course with live bullets, flaming pylons and mines.

Look out! Here comes a Hannah!

Wed. 3/25/09 4:59pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Sean, she played on the last Smersh album and was the key reason Darkthrone changed over to crust punk. She is the alpha and the omega.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:00pm From: Cecile

Actually, she's also working with Opeth and Porcupine Tree on a concept album about a bitter angry unappreciated geek who becomes a vampire ghost werewolf. You should hear her death vocals.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:00pm From: BSI

Sean:
I guess she could be the reincarnation of Robert Anton Wilson, which would explain a lot, no?

If everyone that sees this movie becomes a Pope, then you'll know...

Wed. 3/25/09 5:01pm From: mb

I'm going to make Optiganally Yours, mine. Thanks Irwin!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:01pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Hannah Montana: I want to see Jim Morrison dead!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:01pm From: Cecile

or as Great Plains put it, the Alfalfa Omega

Wed. 3/25/09 5:01pm From: germanizer

Liedjes van Ordelijke Ellende <--damn, now you have me going out to buy more booze!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:01pm From: Cecile

Hannah Montana: Where can I get some leather pants? Remember when I had the dream about that dead Indian who wanted to go to the prom?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:02pm From: dan in falls church VA

dammit! i just tuned in and sorry to find i missed the hannah montana track!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:02pm From: Cecile

the? the? oh there were many thes today!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:03pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Do you think when Hannah is putting on her corpse paint before she performs she stops and thinks, "What is life, but nothing more than the yolk escaping from the egg to fry in the pan of eternal bewilderment?"

Wed. 3/25/09 5:03pm From: dan in falls church VA

ah poop! missed a Love tack too.

oh well, this Ger-Jan Blom track is workin' for me.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:04pm From: Cecile

no, she thinks "this is BRUTAL. I am so BRUTAL"

Wed. 3/25/09 5:05pm From: owen

miley used to be in meatloaf.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:05pm From: ?

(and i dont mean she was part of his backing band)

Wed. 3/25/09 5:06pm From: snack-fu

I have to say that Hanna Montana is creepily addictive to listen to.

I want to hear some Jonas Bros!!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:06pm From: Sean Daily

No, I'd probably hate her more if she sang in French. I've heard French pop music.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:06pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Meatloaf would do alot of things, owen, but he wouldn't do that.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:06pm From: Parq

It's neat that people are complaining about Miley so that Irwin has something other than star country to defend indignantly.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:06pm From: owen

he didnt have any say in the matter

Wed. 3/25/09 5:07pm From: snack-fu

I heard that Miley Cyrus is working on a duet with Glen Branca.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:07pm From: Cecile

Is the Miley track, "Party at the Viking Prom (Yggdrasil Extended Mix)?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:07pm From: jan

Maybe Miley Cyrus Blasted really loud- would that make it?
If you were being ironic, maybe I'd get it, but irony is dead, I hear.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:07pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Mom mom used to put some weird shit in meatloaf, but never miley, at least I don't think so. Mom?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:09pm From: G

When is she going to cover Aerosmith, as in "Miley's Got a Gun"? I'm sure Billy Ray would love that. And The National Enquirer.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:09pm From: miley cyrus

OMG you guys are like so BRUTAL! Yer BRUTAL! OMG! LOL!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:10pm From: Ray Manzarek

I want to see Hannah Montana dead. Is that wrong? Yeah, my breath smells like Morrison's butt, so what?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:11pm From: texas scott

maybe miley could cover some of her Dad's 'greatest hits'

Wed. 3/25/09 5:11pm From: hannah montana

OMG! BRUTAL! OMG!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:11pm From: Dead Indian in Jim Morrison's dream

when should I pick you up for the prom?
I got a limo, and you can order the surf 'n' turf.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:11pm From: mike

yay lake!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:11pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

I hope Miley sings a hook on Lil' Wayne's rock album. I also hope that Lil' Wayne makes a star country album.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:11pm From: Sean Daily

I'm just waiting for the Hannah Montana-Motorhead mashup. That'll be even more of a mindfuck than the Motorhead-Songsmith mashup that Irwin played last week.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:12pm From: Parq

Oh what the hell, I'm going to SSD. See y'all later.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:12pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Hits? You mean there's an Achey Breaky pt 2?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:12pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

That motorsmith - ace of songs is my favorite of the songsmith songs.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:13pm From: Cecile

SSD?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:14pm From: texas scott

shit shower drink

Wed. 3/25/09 5:15pm From: Cecile

ah

Wed. 3/25/09 5:15pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Parq meant to say he's going to go to the hard core show and see FOD. It just came out SSD

Wed. 3/25/09 5:15pm From: Bäd R☺nald

7 second delay...

Wed. 3/25/09 5:15pm From: Marshall Stacks

And here I thought it meant "Seven Second Delay."
Another illusion smashed.

Sure, Ann On. They originally recorded an hour-long Achy Breaky take and just split it up like on an old James Brown 45. The parts got released every three months for years. The hicks never realized it was really just the same song. They just figured he'd found a nice groove and stuck with it.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:18pm From: snack-fu

I've heard rumours that Rhino is releasing the Achy-Breaky sessions as a ltd ed. box set. 12+ hours of outakes. I have mine pre-ordered.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:21pm From: Sean Daily

Ok, this is officially the anti-masturbation song I've ever heard. (Not that I've heard that many PRO-masturbation songs, but still... odd)

Wed. 3/25/09 5:21pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Please, oh please, don't tell Kenny G about that Rhino box set.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:22pm From: Pearlÿ Sweets

Extreme Christ-Punk is one of the best forms of music. Lyrically. And I'm not being a smart ass. It is so fucking intense and just bizzare.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:22pm From: texas scott

aren't they all about 'batin,sean?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:23pm From: G

*Many* songs reference mb positively or neutrally. I Touch Myself etc etc etc. Betcha dollars to donuts there's a wikipedia list of lyrics referencing masturbation...

Wed. 3/25/09 5:23pm From: Sean Daily

No, I thought they were all about fucking, texas scott.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:24pm From: Cecile

no, ARTIFICAL f*cking, sean.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:24pm From: texas scott

~S N A P ~

Wed. 3/25/09 5:24pm From: Doug from DC

Nope, G, just did a quick check.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:25pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Joe Walsh's "I like Big Tits" is about THAT?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:25pm From: G

I would say I dare someone to name a song referencing a sybian. But it's GOTTA be out there...

Wed. 3/25/09 5:26pm From: AnAnonymousParty

"There's Only One Way to Rock"?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:27pm From: Sean Daily

But we LIKE non sequitirs, Irwin.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:28pm From: AnAnonymouParty

Non Sequitur, my ass.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:28pm From: Will

Can you resist silicones? They CAN resist you

Wed. 3/25/09 5:28pm From: texas scott

there's your answer,ANON
Silicones!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:28pm From: Doug from DC

What about a band name referencing a sybian? I don't want to check for that while I'm at work.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:30pm From: Doug from DC

When do they start singing about breast implants?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:30pm From: owen

no, will, i cant. theyre unquestionably my favourite polymers.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:30pm From: Will

Sybian Rock is a track by Venetian Snares (I didn't have to look that up and that's quite sad)

Wed. 3/25/09 5:30pm From: Mr. Slippery

I know where silicone fluids go...

Wed. 3/25/09 5:30pm From: BSI

Good lord, man, this is freaking brilliant.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:30pm From: Sean Daily

You MUST play more 1950-60s commercial music, Irwin. These things ROCK.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:32pm From: silicones

I'm the answer.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:33pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Unfortunately, under the new administration, large companies won't be able to have their own house bands to extol the virtues of their products. Frivolous expense, that.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:33pm From: Lizardner Dave

Did Grove's Emulsified Nose Drops have a jingle like that?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:35pm From: Sean Daily

I'm just waiting for the Motorsmith cover of "The Answer". I will be able to die a happy man when I hear that.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:35pm From: G

FWIW or not, wikipedia used to have an article listing songs with masturbation as a theme, but debated and then dropped it --

www.smso.net/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_songs_about_masturbation_(5th_nomination)

Wed. 3/25/09 5:36pm From: Sean Daily

And that's what sucks about Wikipedia, G. No article listing songs that have masturbation as a theme. I think we can agree that EVERY encyclopedia needs an entry like that.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:37pm From: G

yep, the slugs...

Wed. 3/25/09 5:37pm From: texas scott

I'm just waiting for the Motorhead cover of
The Big M

Wed. 3/25/09 5:42pm From: texas scott

or the Mel Blanc cover of the Big M...

Wed. 3/25/09 5:42pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Otherwise it's not an encyclopedia written and edited by the general populace.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:42pm From: Sean Daily

Mel Blanc ROCKS. He just so BRUTAL.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:43pm From: Luzifer

I would pay to hear a Miley Cyrus Einsturzende Neubauten mash up--make no apologies for anything you play!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:43pm From: Laura L

All right, all right. No Neubauten "Headcleaner"; it would be the equivalent counterbalance to all that Hanna Montana, but this here Mel Blanc is making up for it now.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:44pm From: AnAnonymousParty

See, according to wikipedia, Mel only had 887 voices.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:45pm From: Cecile

zomg. This is nuts.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:45pm From: rv

nothing like a bunch of 50's backup singers to suck the life out of a tune - VIVA MEL!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:46pm From: G

Kids from Camp Leni-Len-A-Pie, featuring an uncredited 8-yo Miley Cyrus

Wed. 3/25/09 5:46pm From: Sean Daily

That's another reason Wikipedia sucks, AnAnonymousParty. NOBODY disses my boy Mel.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:48pm From: texas scott

...and then he gives us some Tito!
nice show,mista Irwin

Wed. 3/25/09 5:50pm From: Marshall Stacks

Uh oh, Irwin didn't check off the last item on his list, I hope....

Wed. 3/25/09 5:51pm From: C

will there ever be any way for me to get a copy of "worthwhile occupation"? it brightens my day every time i hear it.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:54pm From: Cecile

Is Pookie microchipped?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:56pm From: Sean Daily

Oh come on, Irwin. You love it when we rip on Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. Admit it.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:56pm From: Lizardner Dave

It's good that Irwin is playing this! It's very, very good!

Wed. 3/25/09 5:56pm From: G

And this last HM gem is listed in the wikipedia article "songs referencing bisexuality" j/k

Wed. 3/25/09 5:57pm From: KW

I feel like a dirty old man listening to this....Oh, yeah, I am a dirty old man.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:57pm From: listener jon

my ears are bleeding.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:58pm From: Sean Daily

You too, KW. Weird all the dirty old men listening to Hannah Montana, huh?

Wed. 3/25/09 5:58pm From: texas scott

I'm new to this show,Sean but I have come to surmise,
Irwin has a plan behind his madness.

Wed. 3/25/09 5:58pm From: Will

So long as you aren't performing artificial sex while you listen, KW

Wed. 3/25/09 5:59pm From: Luzifer

I think Miley is secretly as old as JT Leroy

Wed. 3/25/09 5:59pm From: owen

irwin, with this hannah montana you are really spoiling us.

Wed. 3/25/09 6:00pm From: Cecile

I accept that I suck.
Have a great week, Irwin.

Pookie, Pookie, go back home!

Wed. 3/25/09 6:00pm From: rv

OK, so, what's Hanna Montana about again?

Thu. 3/26/09 10:11pm From: jimmy

hey, so happy to report that the worthwhile occupation song was recorded right here in the 90.1 fm region...schunnemunk is now a part of the state park that i work in, thank you irwin, for the geographic patronage
