I like the momus stuff he did with kahimi karie. He reminds me a little of cornelius from the fantasma period.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:10pm sorry:

When Juliette Binoche was in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, I so wanted her to be my Czech mate.

  Wed. 9/2/09 3:26pm AnAnonymousParty:

Bite me! There, how's that for an impertinent comment?
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:28pm Peter Devore:

@Anonymous: it's rubbish
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:31pm Mac:

Just a little higher and to the left... ah, that's the spot.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:33pm andrew618:

  Wed. 9/2/09 3:33pm Laurie:

"in clothes... or in nude."

This guy is the Kenny Powers of dirty talk.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:33pm Marshall Stacks:

Irwin, my hero.

Did he say "in clothes or in nude?"
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:33pm JA:

THERE HE IS!!
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:34pm Marshall Stacks:

"Eyes that can be anything that they want to be."

Say what?
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:34pm still b/p:

Mark's act and delivery is Big Bloodless.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:35pm another old man:

He is great isn't he.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:35pm Johnny:

Wow, that Steve Miller Band song sounded like Blonde Redhead! At least at the beginning.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:36pm Laurie:

Do you think Mark Turns is a virgin?
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:36pm Dr. Evil:

I want my eyes to be "lasers".

  Wed. 9/2/09 3:37pm AnAnonymousParty:

Pardon me, y'all, I need go take a shower and wash my ears out with lye.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:38pm PMD:

Laurie, I read that first as 'the Kenny Rogers of dirty talk'
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:38pm Virtue Defender:

Amanda, Miley and Scala Choir have been dumped for Mark Turns. Ah the fickleness!
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:40pm Turns:

Irwin, your ability to broadcast Mark Turns to the world is a power that is as deep as the bluest ocean. That's how deep and blue it is. There is nothing deeper or bluer than that power you possess.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:42pm Irwin:

yeah, what hoppind to amander?
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:44pm sherri:

  Wed. 9/2/09 3:48pm scott walker:

  Wed. 9/2/09 3:48pm PMD:

Does this mean we'll hear Miley next?
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:51pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

"Trampoline" sounds like the theme song to a teen-flavored sitcom on a station that gets poor ratings.
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:53pm Your Name:

This is better than the rembrandts
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:53pm Turns:

Yo Irwin, thanks for rocking that Scott Walker tune. I've got it on one of those mystery/no track-listing mixtapes from way back, and never knew what it was. Cheers!
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:53pm BSI:

Jeez! I turn my back for just 42 minutes and I miss Kenny Rogers talking dirty to Amanda? Heck!
  Wed. 9/2/09 3:58pm Turns:

Mark Turns puts the "ice" in spicey.
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:00pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

  Wed. 9/2/09 4:09pm PMD:

I wish I head earphones for this one.
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:10pm Laura L:

It sounds like music for making fried butter. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/yahoolatestnews/stories/090209dnmetfairfood.40824cb.html
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:11pm BSI:

  Wed. 9/2/09 4:14pm giant squid:

or basketball
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:15pm Irwin:

Are you people listening to another station?
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:16pm dragon:

that would never happen....just livin in the past.
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:19pm AnAnonymousParty:

Man, that tap dancing horse sure is talented.
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:20pm PMD:

Fried butter. Amazing.
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:20pm AnAnonymousParty:

Hey Irwin, it's a Kenny G trick we all learned: listen to another station during your show and comment about it here. It's fun!
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:25pm dragn:

i'm listenning, Irwin...'on the edge of my seat --in fact i usually listen sans internet
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:43pm PMD:

Well, I'm enjoying the show...
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:47pm drgn:

  Wed. 9/2/09 4:48pm flagpole:

  Wed. 9/2/09 4:48pm drn:

  Wed. 9/2/09 4:49pm Virtue Defender:

Oh baby baby - she should start a girl group
  Wed. 9/2/09 4:49pm Turns:

  Wed. 9/2/09 4:50pm DNA:

  Wed. 9/2/09 4:52pm Maria:

YES!!!! I'm thrilled to hear the Moore Brothers.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:12pm Laura L:

Clientele--God save 'em! And thank you for playing them.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:23pm Marshall Stacks:

Pell Mell, so cool. Suits my mood perfectly. Thanks, Irwin.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:24pm Jeffersonic:

Irwin, I always enjoy your show, whenever I'm able to listen. Today you're blowing-a my fookin mind...thanks for that.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:35pm hankone:

wow that's bad country
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:35pm doug in DC:

My signature only has two recognizable letters left in it. I'm not actually sure if I remember the whole cursive alphabet.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:37pm hanktwo:

oh no, this is painfully bad
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:39pm Irwin:

Hanktwo: Eight pseudonyms today. Congrats!
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:39pm Parq:

My standing disagreement with listeners who hate contemp-country remains in place.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:40pm hankthree:

I live in Nashville. It's really hard to like bad contemporary country.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:41pm Spencer:

Oh man, forgot about this song! Its a goodie.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:41pm Irwin:

I stand with Parq against the sneering hipsters.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:43pm hankfour:

I'm not a hipster. I like all different kinds of music, but there is a limit there. You can't like everything.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:44pm Ike:

I just think a lot of it sounds overcooked and overproduced, including those two songs. But that Pell Mell song was fantastic.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:45pm hankfive:

Not only is it overproduced, but most of the contemporary country these days is more based of pop and rock than country roots
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:47pm hanksmom:

everything other than the turner and tomlinson songs that I heard to day were very enjoyable!
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:50pm Irwin:

Amanda remains my favorite country artist.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:50pm Katya:

"Cookie Train, I love you, baby." Rock, rock, rock.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:51pm Parq:

Amanda trascends genre.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:52pm teqnowl:

danni! we gettin on the cookie train tonight! picken up a box of oreos on the way home. rockin roll lady!
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:52pm Katya:

"... because I'm a rock-and-roll lady." Amanda is fantastic!!
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:53pm arnold lane:

I agree she does. I love the lost and found, dated antiquated quality of her recordings
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:55pm 7pointedstar:

awsome teqnowl !
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:55pm Marshall Stacks:

Irwin, did Mr. Turns happen to record the poem immortalized on http://www.lilgoat.com/TShirt7.htm on any of your MT CDs? The poem itself is illegible, but the title.... Words fail me.
  Wed. 9/2/09 5:58pm Vicki:

ha! this track is great - just finding it online
  Wed. 9/2/09 11:21pm Michele B.:

By the time we catch your offerings, you're probably tucked in your bunk! Oh, but we do appreciate! Koichi Sugii is marvelous. Weekly thanks..from deepest, darkest state with no name.
