![]() irwin, bethany |
![]() |
![]() Trumpet solo. |
![]() |
![]() That's a trumpet, right? |
![]() |
![]() If you're in New Jersey, it's a trumpet... |
![]() |
![]() Let's go Irwin! |
![]() |
![]() So the playlist is wrong. It's not the "(edit)" version of this tune. |
![]() |
![]() IS SEX SIN? No, but not pledging to FMU is!!! |
![]() |
![]() Thanks rrg. Fixed. |
![]() |
![]() Grandpa was a rocker in the 70s but is currently old enough to be in an old folks home? I'm confused. Shouldn't Grandpa be in his late 60s or thereabouts? |
![]() |
![]() That's old enough. In many cases. |
![]() |
![]() Hmm, I guess that's true. |
![]() |
![]() Afternoon, gang |

![]() You have otherwise-unavailable Nichols and May? Well! |
![]() |
![]() ray zinbran (?) also did an interesting version of "institutionalize". (which i have on one my own fmu cassettes) |
![]() |
![]() That privileged bear is a threat to society! |
![]() |
![]() And… The number to pledge is: 800-989-9368. And the online link to pledge is: pledge.wfmu.org... |
![]() |
![]() Oh yes, Irwin and Bethany: Happy International Women's Day. Speaking on behalf of all women, I can verify that we are all a threat (and a promise) to society. |
![]() |
![]() Enough of this kid stuff. When are we going to hear the Old Pornographers? Apologies if this joke has been made before. |

I recall his having been on TV too, where he'd do a fast-talking walkout same as his audio bits. Like quick on & off the stage, pacing around a little on his way. | |

![]() Irwin, I've told all my friends that you helped inspire the creation of the film School of Rock with your resurrection of the Langley School project, and they're very impressed because that film was a touchstone in all of our lives, for some reason. |
![]() |
![]() I'm getting Irwin's premium (via pre-marathon pledge) because cassette weirdness is always irresistible, despite the fact that he's a thuggish mega-capitalist reactionary brute. Fortunately our evil liberal death panels will take care of him soon! SOON! |
![]() |
![]() Thanks Brian - the wind is probably a big factor. Hope nobody lost their fish house... |

THE BOSS SOUND!!! | |
![]() |
![]() Bass on this Gibbs track: Theremin virtuoso Pamelia Kurstin |
![]() |
![]() I watched a stream from Lincoln Center of Terry Gibbs's band. Great drummer but a bit of a jerk... |
![]() |
![]() He's an amazing drummer, can't vouch for his charisma. Art Blakey was an incredible drummer -- and he taught many of his sidemen how to use heroin. |
![]() |
![]() Terry or Gerry? (does Terry play drums?) |
![]() |
![]() maybe she's a "virtuosette"? (now ducking) |

![]() Leonardo, you obviously weren't listening a few years back when somebody's bright idea was to match-up djs & co-hosts seemingly randomly. (Stan's show was the most painful, i think) |
![]() |
![]() Thank you, Leonardo, it's very kind of you to say. We appreciate your abundant positivity. |

Who, Leonardo? Nichols & May, or Irwin & Bethany? Lack of "chemistry" (reaction) can be a great gimmick if they work it right. | |

We could put together worse if we work at it. Nachum + Kenny G? | |
![]() |
![]() Nachum and Kenny G are together at last. |
![]() |
![]() Egad. I never heard a cover of this before. |
![]() |
![]() actually i think the Irwin-Bethany is pretty good. their fundamental differences provide tension but they roll with it quite nicely. - and i like it. |
![]() |
![]() Actually Nachum and Kenny G were on together briefly once or twice IIRC and they were fairly funny together. |

Is a free tonsillectomy from Dr. Peckton Irwin's Marathon Grand Prize Premium? | |
![]() |
![]() maybe Chris T would tone it down in Jeff's presence. Todd and Irene though! that would be like watching a child repeatedly trying to stick a paper clip into an electrical socket while the other repeatedly almost let's him/her do it. |
![]() |
![]() I could tell you several of the worst pairings I've heard, but I'd rather be positive and say that Irwin and Bryce together several years ago was one of the best pairings ever. Really freaking funny. |
![]() |
![]() Happy International Women's Day folks. Love the cassettes, of course. |
![]() |
![]() Now I'm nervous for my upcoming first-ever marathon shows. I hope y'all like it when I co-host with Irwin and Billy Jam and we don't show up in the annals of "worst pairing ever" lists. |

![]() Thanks Chrispy, I like you! |
![]() |
![]() Bethany, I love your show! I love classical too and I'm glad it's on FMU more thanks to you. |
![]() |
![]() @BB, I'm confident that you & Billy Jam will be great together. That should be a live wire of energy. Pure audio caffeine. As for Irwin, uh... I'm sure you'll be great. For best results, I advise you to give him hell. ;) |
![]() |
![]() there was a pairing in the early 90s that i remember to this day, because me and my friend were literally falling on the floor laughing - but i don't remember who it was. i thought to record it at the time but i had no blank tape there. i feel like it was Scott Williams but i think he wasn't on yet at that time. |
![]() |
![]() @c∅, I believe Scott W. started in... '96 maybe? On overnights. So early 90s wouldn't track. Could it have involved Tom Crowe? He was hilarious. |

Listener Robert:
Nardwuar + Kevin Nutt! | |
![]() |
![]() Ike, that name sounds only very slightly familiar, so probably not. i do know it was evening, maybe 8-9 pm, and it was a male and female, and they were playing with a voice modulator - being very suggestive in their interpretations of carvel ice-cream commercials! |
![]() |
![]() Kenny G. & Irwin paired once was truly hilarious. I know: I have it on cassette. |

Dave Emory + Dave The Spazz! | |
![]() |
![]() nah - Kevin has a sense of humour; but Nardwuar and Dave the spazz would be a trainwreck, that's for sure. |

![]() @BronwynBishop! Yes, we must connect!!! I had heard from Stork :) So glad you are a part of the FMU Family!! |
![]() |
![]() - fun for sale - |
![]() |
![]() I love that on marathon shows we revisit favorites. |

![]() Irwin - I'm glad that our RED-HOT chemistry is on the DL. That's for after-hours and has no place during the Marathon. |
