Ike:
Irwin!!!! Where were you last week?!? Were you off cheating on us with another group of listeners somewhere, you BASTARD?! WERE YOU? <sobs> | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:02pm
Hint:
Re paranoia: The Amanda Hatas are out for blood. | |

Orange:
The background color is not a tribute to that Boehner guy, is it? | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:04pm
Dan and Joel:
Flo is a slut. We saw it right on a bathroom wall, when we were using the stall. Yes, at the same time. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:05pm
Matt from Springfield:
Irwin, welcome back--I have a question for you I wanted to ask since last week: Who was the Calypsonian who likes living in Brooklyn, "where de tree grows"? | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:06pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:
I hear Alisdair MacLean's breathy voice | |
|

Laura L:
Kenny Goldsmith is about to be on at the White House. NOW. http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/white-house-poetry-workshop | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:10pm
Reno:
WFMU's own Kenny G is about to take the dais in the State Room of the White House with Mrs. O in the front row. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:12pm
Reno:
And he looks smashing, actually! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:14pm
Skeptic:
Does this prove that Irwin and Kenny are 2 different people? | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:15pm
Grammar Fascists:
The whitehouse.gov page says "Renown poets and artists", instead of "Renowned". Is that to be creative, or to be inclusive of the differently orthographied? | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:15pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:
this proves nothing | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:15pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Laura, Reno: I heard that on the Blog--the website said the student's workshop with Michelle and Kenny G started at 2:25 EDT, but the stream wasn't working for me. It seems they have other saved videos of past events, so I think we will be able to watch both poetry events later. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:16pm
Orange:
If they use "to reference" in place of "to refer," we'll have to move in. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:17pm
Smoking Gun:
Right on, DCE! The truth is STILL out there! I'm assuming Irwin does have a Bob Zmuda-like figure to make public appearances like this, just to throw us off--but you can't outfox a PARANOID individual! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:18pm
Conspiracy Theorist:
THAT'S NOT KENNY G! THAT'S OSAMA BIN LADEN! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:19pm
Reno:
He's most amusing. His message to young poets: "You're trying too hard." | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:19pm
Roberto:
Kenny's done. Now back to your regularly scheduled Irwin. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:20pm
still b/p:
Which of the three daists is going to make that axe waiting back there scream? | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:20pm
Skeptic:
Donald Trump told me that this radio show was taped last week so Irwin/Kenny could appear at the WH today. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:21pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:
I love the delayed phrasing and resolution to the tonic of this piece | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:22pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:
brilliant!! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:22pm
Smoking Gun:
@Skeptic: Dear Lord, you're right!!! It all makes sense now!! Grab all the bottled water and tinfoil you can find before everyone else does!!! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:
@DCE: I thought this was a bed music loop at first, I suppose the "delayed phrasing" normally has vocals over it, but not in this version. I like this unusual effect as well. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:23pm
J J:
please hold... | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:23pm
Skeptic:
Calm down. We only need enough bottled water to last until the Rapture on May 21. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:26pm
Smoking Gun:
So...IRWIN has the power to end the universe, and on the 21st...he'll PULL THE PLUG on existence! I knew it! Oooh, maybe we'll hear Shodder Grayson's "Rapture of the Leaf" on the way out. That would be kickass! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:26pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Irwin: Well obviously none of us have lives on Wed afternoons, the least you could do is return the favor... | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:27pm
jan:
back at your show. I took the liberty of turning down the volume to watch Kenny G. Oh, he's back. Did you see his suit? The rest of WFMU staff should visit his tailor. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:27pm
freznel:
gulp... | |

my Bible code:
At the RAPture, people without a single cell of hip-hop appreciation or identity will become dope MCs. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:28pm
Sympathetic:
Irwin needed a week off from the howling back of Amanda-hating hyenas. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:28pm
Sean Daily:
Irwin's possessed by the hellborne spirit of Kenny G! Get him a priest (or at least Max von Sydow) STAT! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:30pm
Orange:
That must have been his Rapture Suit. A kind of pastel harlequin theme. | |
|

Rasmus:
This is great -- thanks - what label is that R. Stevie Moore record on? | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 3:44pm
Matt from Springfield:
Pretty good Chad & Jeremy, never heard this one before. The main character's name has nothing to do with my judgment, though I do like the fact he is called "Matthew". | |
|

Lizardner Dave:
Just tuned in after watching Mr. Goldsmith's star turn at the White House. What'd I miss? | |

Konnichi-wa, minna! Damn! I missed the Kenny G White House thing! Did anyone cap' it for later youtube upload? | |

Helpful:
To keep it clear, call one of them Door Mat and one of them Bath Mat. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 4:02pm
Lizardner Dave:
I think the White House has an archive. I hope so, anyway. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 4:03pm
Happy Listener:
I just noticed that, guess they just haven't archived it yet. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 4:04pm

Farmer's Insurance University:
Dan and Joel got expelled after they were caught TP'ing the trees of customers who filed claims. No, we didn't give them a recommendation letter. And now, as you can see, they are Radio Losers. | |

This song makes me feel like I'm on a postmodern Merry-Go-Round with Paul Hardcastle. | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 4:39pm
Das:
Thanks eh! | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 4:41pm

I read that as "postmortem Merry-Go-Round." | |

Paul Hardcastle is dead? | |
|
Wed. 5/11/11 4:45pm
jaycjay:
@pierre, if I were a from New Jersey I'd be proud of them. But I'd also be willing to bet that the large majority of the state's population has never heard of them. | |

Can you give me an example? | |

I used to know Lisa Germano, when we both lived in Bloomington, Indiana, long before that 1994 studio appearance, she came to a couple of parties at my place. She was great as a musician and as a person; I wish I'd been able to keep in touch with her. | |
