	3:27pm sphere: hello
	♥ 3:27pm Carmichael: Is this the first of its kind?

	3:28pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow Irwin listeners
	♥ 3:28pm zopa: Is this a protest song?
	3:29pm Listening Out There: Wearin' my Tyvek tux today, I yam...
	♥ 3:29pm Mike & Dusty: this is delightful but i’m ready for it to be over
	3:29pm hip: I can't agree more with you, Irwin. Thank you for enlightening us. I swear it is even worse if you can 'understand' the lyrics. OMG
	♥ 3:29pm Matt Warwick: Just wait until you hear my coronavirus ALBUM, Irwin! It's gonna blow you AWAY!
	3:30pm hip: BTW, I pledged (over a week ago). Anyone knows why no heart up here?
	3:31pm John from Florham park: @Handy howdy @Kat howdy @Philippe howdy
	♥ 3:31pm Handy Haversack: Hiya, John!
	♥ 3:31pm Ike: Oh hey, it's Matt the dirty liar!
	3:31pm John from Florham park: @Matt groaner:)
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm Alison Porchnik: Per that horoscope I will try to block out the leaks. Not sure about the ability to control my temper.
	♥ 3:33pm Carmichael: @hip, contact Joe McGasko.
	♥ 3:34pm Carmichael: Irwin, do you have a SARS song?
	3:34pm hip: TY @Carmichael Mail?
	♥ 3:34pm Kat in Chicago: @hip if there's a different email address associated with your pledge than the one on your profile, that might be the disconnect. The excellent Joe McG should be able to get you sorted.
	3:35pm John from Florham park: @Allison I think we are all on edge right now. So I understand
	3:35pm hip: TY @Kat. I bet that's the problem (2 different email addresses)
	3:35pm flashbazbo: Could be worse. After the plague there was nothing but novelty songs for 120 years. Take care every body.
	♥ 3:35pm p20: Listening to this show with my cat Albert sitting on my lap.
	♥ 3:36pm Kat in Chicago: @hip jmcgasko@wfmu.org
	3:36pm annette: brilliant commentary, Irwin. BRILLIANT. some things just need to be said.
	♥ 3:36pm mrdonutsu: I realize I'm wearing 3 layers of WFMU-wear. Totally impervious to anything!
	3:36pm hip: Great @Kat. Thanks a lot
	♥ 3:37pm Irwin: Carm: I have an H1N1 song.
	♥ 3:37pm Kat in Chicago: @hip you're welcome, and thanks for pledging!
	3:37pm John from Florham park: @Kat your a good egg
	3:38pm BH: shouldn't flu songs be the same song with slight changes to get around vaccinations?
	♥ 3:38pm Carmichael: That'll do, Irwin!
	♥ 3:38pm p20: (He's named after Einstein but also Ayler. And the uncle in the Paul McCartney song.)
	♥ 3:40pm Irene Trudel: Chiming in late. In times of Crisis, people are compelled to react in song. I look forward to hearing some of them. I also look forward to your McCoy Tyner tribute, whenever it may happen.
	♥ 3:40pm p20: @BH: the idea of mutating ear-worms is truly terrifying
	♥ 3:41pm WoodsOfNH: @Andy M - Hey Andy!
	3:45pm hip: German does not help either
	♥ 3:45pm Marley P. Dogg: Sehr güt
	3:45pm Laura L: And vielen Dank for Peter Schilling too.
	3:46pm hip: WunderKorona
	3:50pm cooter: might you play some Doc Watson?
	♥ 3:50pm Andrew_in_WI: I saw Great Lake Swimmers 15 years. Small bar, rainy Monday. Three people in the audience.
	♥ 3:52pm p20: @Andrew_in_WI : Hi from Chi!
	♥ 3:52pm Handy Haversack: Sounded real good, @Andrew. I feel qualified to review because I, too, have swum in Great Lakes.
	♥ 3:53pm Andrew_in_WI: @P20 Hey! No Horse Lords...
	♥ 3:54pm Asheville Jon: thank you Irwin
	♥ 3:55pm p20: @Andrew: Yeah. I'm really hoping they reschedule. I know there are bigger problems right now, but a few shows I was really looking forward to have recently been canceled. Damo Suzuki, Mayo Thompson, and Horse Lords ...
	3:55pm Jennica: I swam in all 5 Great Lakes in one day in 1978. True.
	♥ 3:56pm p20: @Jennica: Wow! I've been in Lake Michigan many times, and Superior a couple times. Not sure about the rest.
	♥ 3:56pm zopa: Step one is admitting you have a virus.
	♥ 3:56pm Andrew_in_WI: @Jennica I hope you went E to W... Erie was nasty in 78
	♥ 3:56pm Carmichael: Boiled in Lead sings a nice little ditty about The Plague called "The Microorganism".
	♥ 3:57pm Marley P. Dogg: Glad liquor stores here in hoboken are deemed essential and allowed to stay open
	3:57pm berbo: The WI governor closed all the bars on St. Patrick's day.
	♥ 3:57pm Andrew_in_WI: @P20 yeah, I was looking forward to Damo too
	♥ 3:57pm Handy Haversack: Were they closer together in 1978? I've been in Michigan, Huron, Erie.
	3:58pm Earth Walker: That’s like the bar tabac here in France
	3:58pm Jennica: @Andrew_in_WI: Circuitous. Grew up swimming in Erie (and Chautauqua)... and yes, part of that growing up was in the '70s.
	♥ 3:58pm Carmichael: Ireland also closed the bars for St. Paddy's.
	3:59pm Jennica: @Handy: Nope. Further away.
	3:59pm Earth Walker: The junkie smokers and drinkers gotta get there fix !
	♥ 3:59pm Peter from Dover NJ: "Get me down / to the TB ward."
	♥ 4:00pm Handy Haversack: @Jennica: Even more impressive!
	♥ 4:01pm p20: From the online guide "How to visit the Great Lakes in 24 Hours" (q.v.): Arrive at 2 p.m. in the “Sunrise Coast” town of Port Austin. The area is known for the famed Turnip Rock, which looks exactly like the vegetable.
	♥ 4:02pm Irene Trudel: Brian Dewan at his most heavenly!
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Alison Porchnik: Is he talking about his hair?
	4:03pm Hawkeye: ART. I feel you bro.
	4:04pm Hawkeye: I would have walked right out of control room
	4:04pm Jennica: @p20: It sounds like such a guide could have saved us some time.
	♥ 4:05pm Irwin: "a fundamental change of spine."
	♥ 4:05pm jmd: I love this bit. Thanks Irwin.
	4:05pm rebeldiva: Ugh, Garfunkle is such an arrogant tool!
	♥ 4:05pm p20: @Jennica: but so much more impressive to freestyle it!
	♥ 4:05pm Irwin: Bless the engineer who salvaged this studio chatter.
	♥ 4:06pm Carmichael: This is even better than Ray Manzarek talking about Morrison.
	4:06pm Hawkeye: Simon and BUZZ KILLINGTON
	4:06pm rebeldiva: it's not a wrong note, it's an indecision.....LOLOL!
	4:06pm berbo: an indecision going. I feel you.
	♥ 4:06pm Mungerphut: Who is the producer talking to Artie?
	4:07pm brainiac: I can't imagine why anyone would say Artie was hard to work with
	4:07pm Hawkeye: Can you imagine having to pretend to listen to this direction
	♥ 4:07pm JohnEBGood: Really dug that Swine Flu Blues tune. I'm working "remote" as a 7th grade math teacher. All WFMU. No television!
	🎸 ♥ 4:07pm Alison Porchnik: He sounds so rock and roll!
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm Alison Porchnik: ...and punchable.
	4:08pm PJ: Art cares about Art. I love this.
	4:08pm Keith in Vermont: Natural rock sensibilities? Haunting minor chords? Windier? Speedier? What fun!
	♥ 4:08pm jmd: "...a little windier..." I don't know if that's possible.
	4:08pm andrewb: quoting a fellow listener, the studio guys called him Garkle cause there was" no art and no fun"
	♥ 4:08pm Asheville Jon: is he tripping? this is soooo bizarre
	♥ 4:08pm p20: I had to search for a picture of "Turnip Rock". It really does not look that much like a turnip to me. If I traveled all the way to Port Ausin MI to see it, I think I'd be a bit disappointed.
	4:08pm Keith in Vermont: Just kle.
	♥ 4:09pm p20: The echo on Garfunkel's voice makes it, for me.
	4:09pm Dean: "Calculating the precise number of ways by which one can leave one's lover encounters hurdles when we take account of quantum phenomena."--The other guy.
	4:09pm brainiac: YES "EL TOUCHY"! Ear to ear
	4:10pm Hawkeye: Andrew B that is the best laugh I have had all day
	♥ 4:10pm p20: That el-touchy horn-blast just woke up my sleeping cat Albert. "What the hell was that?"
	♥ 4:10pm Andrew_in_WI: @p20 You need to squint just right, and also be slightly buzzed. Then you'll see it
	♥ 4:10pm Carmichael: Brainiac, in what place are you sheltering in place?? :)
	♥ 4:11pm p20: @Andrew_in_WI: I'm halfway there. I'll work on the squint.
	4:12pm Dave Miss: Has anyone done a cover of My (sh)corona?
	4:12pm Laura L: Luie Luie and his bio-hazardous ways!
	4:13pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: p20, my cat, Jules, has been slumbering all day on my desk working from home with me. He had the presence of mind to move to the arm of the couch in the lounge only moments ahead of that horn-blast. Timing!
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm listener 126464: there's probably a good reason he played all the instruments by himself
	4:14pm flashbazbo: People are having fun with Artie. But they always clip the ending where he resolves the issues and appears to be sane.
	♥ 4:14pm Asheville Jon: "appears" can be very subjective
	4:15pm brainiac: @ Carmichael: I'm in a darkened room, trying to be aware of my breath. Also self-soothing by careful rationing of the Guinness I hoarded yesterday
	4:15pm Dave Miss: Here ya go Irwin: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kKLNUNNF8HEBG5NacqoDsEmh1kwhmWKgs
	4:17pm brainiac: And you? How are you today Carmichael?
	♥ 4:18pm Carmichael: OK, despite last night. The Jameson flowed freely, directly into my gullet.
	4:20pm brainiac: atta boy ;) I enjoyed one by the fireside. It was a cozy St. Pats
	♥ 4:20pm Turnip Rock: @Andrew_in_WI: Oh my god, I see it now!
	4:21pm sphere: I'm generally a teetotaller, but I brought beer back into my life for the first time in years. SeaQuench Ale from Dogfish Head. I'm trying to parcel it out over the next two weeks.
	4:23pm brainiac: life during wartime
	♥ 4:25pm Turnip Rock: @sphere: Prost!
	4:26pm Dean: Had to cancel the monthly naked Twister party.
	♥ 4:28pm Handy Haversack: I believe you ex- and implicitly, Irwin!
	♥ 4:28pm Turnip Rock: Hah, check out the other song titles on this Luie Luie record: lightintheattic.net...
	♥ 4:29pm Carmichael: I got some groceries, Some peanut butter.
	4:30pm Dave Miss: Oh no. Children singing. Does this belong on music of mine control?
	♥ 4:30pm Turnip Rock: (I don't know what's up with tracks 7 and 10 there, seems like a quality control failure)
	4:30pm laughingacademy: To last a couple of days?
	4:33pm Sensitive Listener: May I request Wichitai-To by the legendary Jim Pepper? That song has SOUL and the man has MIND!
	4:37pm Jennica: @Sensitive Listener: A long time fave.
	♥ 4:40pm Irwin: You won't believe what Irwin said about that song on Ken's comments board this morning. Shameful!
	4:40pm DANIEL BAKER: Enjoying the broadcast greatly! Just the right level of obscurity and of melodic folk-psych-pop idiosyncrasy.
	♥ 4:40pm Turnip Rock: Almost tuned out due to a deep-seated, visceral loathing of The Association (or at least their music) - but this Miles is a nice reward for hanging in.
	♥ 4:42pm Irwin: TR: We call it genre-surfing tokenism.
	4:43pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Turnip, you 'n me both. It has the same effect on me as (I'm assuming, based on his harsh but correct criticism today) Toachi-maroni or whatever that damned song was on Ken's show has on our esteemed host.
	♥ 4:46pm Handy Haversack: @Daniel Baker: Is that you, Elgin Dann?
	4:47pm mb: Irwin
	♥ 4:51pm Roberto: YES! I was hoping this would make a return.
	♥ 4:52pm Roberto: (Wonderland)
	♥ 4:54pm Turnip Rock: It's the vocal harmonies. Just too much. Something off-putting/sinister there. When I was a kid, the song "Windy" just terrified me.
	♥ 4:54pm Roberto: I thought you were going to say AMANDA
	4:55pm Ira Fan: diggin' this Corona-Classic!
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Alison Porchnik: This song is gonna go Macarena!
	4:56pm BH: how grimy does a remix need to be in order to be called a mutation instead of a remix?
	4:56pm Jelena: Hahaha, press conferences gonna save us!
	4:57pm Dean: Why is the virus named after a model of car? Is there a Priusvirus? Town&countryvirus? Hummervirus?
	♥ 4:57pm Turnip Rock: Stuff that's supposed to be disturbing, like Nurse with Wound or Wolf Eyes, isn't one-tenth as disturbing as stuff that's inadvertently disturbing.
	4:57pm prudy: yeah this is pretty bad...
	4:58pm Ira Fan: this one only has 18 views on Youtube. The Cumbia one had 5 million
	♥ 4:58pm Roberto: I was thinking "Sick Day" was a propos lately.
	4:59pm Earth Walker: Always look on the bright side of life
	4:59pm brainiac: "lead us not into Penn Station" was a pretty good line
	♥ 4:59pm Irwin: Would you believe that Martoglio's was the 2nd best CV song I could find? I mean, it's a musical plague.
	♥ 5:00pm Kat in Chicago: I was just typing that @brainiac!
	5:00pm brainiac: heh
	♥ 5:00pm Turnip Rock: @Dean: It's named after the beer, not the car.
	♥ 5:00pm Carmichael: 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy.
	5:01pm Dean: Okay, beer makes sense.
	5:01pm robyn and 6-yr old mini glistener ajax: thanks irwin for keeping us all sane with good tunes (i grew up going to fountains of wayne, what a weird nj treasure trove)
	5:02pm jan: @Irwin- About Sick day, I'm feeling about the the way you did when you commented on Ken's message board!
	♥ 5:02pm Carmichael: The Tsing Tao virus?
	5:03pm Earth Walker: Only on WFMU ! Stay tuned
	5:04pm William Main: I just listened to Satan Has Been Paralyzed by David Ingles. Irwin, you have a bizarre personality for even knowing about such a song. I guess I'm part of the bizarro world too now.
	♥ 5:08pm dave wuz here: i hope sting is ok. i'm worried this virus thing could hamper his creativity.
	5:13pm Jennica: @dave wuz: Ha!
	5:13pm Ira Fan: that wuz lovely irwin
	♥ 5:16pm Little Danny: Cover artwork by the Drummer Stream's Evan Crankshaw (Explorers Room), this Frank LoCrasto album!
	♥ 5:19pm Spankyflop: My brother had a Crumar Orchestrator and an Arp Axe
	5:20pm ignatatus666: The Cumbria was excellent
	5:20pm brainiac: I always wanted a Farfisa. I did have a Rhodes 88. T'was nice.
	5:21pm ignatatus666: I thought it was Ira who played the Cumbia. Anyway I dug it
	5:21pm ignatatus666: Damn spellcheck to hell
	5:22pm Ira Fan: i didnt play it, i only commented on it
	5:22pm Nacho: Thanks helping me kill the afternoon Irwin!
	5:30pm brainiac: I wish I could delete a few of my comments. But it's a godlike power reserved for the select few.
	♥ 5:31pm Irwin: Indeed. But I can delete them for you!
	♥ 5:32pm Irwin: Limit three deletions per show.
	5:32pm brainiac: Thanks man. Kill 'em all, I say.
	♥ 5:32pm Carmichael: Be careful what you ask for, brainiac.
	5:33pm brainiac: The zeitgeist is getting to me, I'm not afraid to admit it.
	♥ 5:33pm Carmichael: Let God sort 'em out.
	5:34pm sphere: What should God do after They sort us out?
	♥ 5:34pm Turnip Rock: The zeitgeist is a pretty scary geist.
	♥ 5:35pm Irwin: People want their normal back.
	♥ 5:35pm Carmichael: Depends if your God is a hairy thunderer or a cosmic muffin.
	5:35pm Listener Robert: @Jan, have you seen the puppet show that went along with "Satan Has Been Paralyzed"? Irwin dug that video out for us one night at Fez, downstairs from Time.
	5:35pm sphere: Personally, I would sort us out alphabetically.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Andy M.: This Car Seat Headrest song just won me over.
	5:36pm wat the fuvk: is this comment section, is this reeal
	5:36pm Listener Robert: Darn, should've addressed the one above to William Main.
	5:36pm Jennica: @Andy: I have been listening to it daily for weeks. Love it so.
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Andy M.: @Jennica Which album is it from?
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Andy M.: @Jennica Oh, disregard my last question. LOL
	5:39pm Listener Robert: Has anyone ever done a live action version of "Satan Has Been Paralyzed" for Hoof and Mouth? I seem to recall the stage at Monty Hall's being wheelchair accessible.
	♥ 5:41pm Turnip Rock: The thing is -- what or when was ever "normal"? In my lifetime, just to name a few: Watergate, the 1970s energy crisis, the Cold War with its Mutually Assured Destruction, the Reagan years, multiple wars in Iraq, Weapons of Mass Destruction, 9/11, Chernobyl, Fukushima, oil spills, hurricanes, climate change, an ocean full of plastic, now this.... seriously, was "normal" just a a couple of weeks in the mid-1990s?
	5:42pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: I DID like that song (Princess Chelsea).
	5:44pm Dean: "Little Timmy! The man on the radio is advising you to eat dirt! That's right, and it's for your own good. Do it and you won't die."
	♥ 5:44pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Irwin, you gotta read the first volume of Shigeru Mizuki's "Showa" series. Tons of dirt eating.
	♥ 5:45pm Andrew_in_WI: Would you recommend mixing my powdery dirt with bourbon to make it more palatable?
	♥ 5:45pm steveo: My 10-year old did announce this week that he has an excellent immune system because he eats dirt. I haven't seen him do it though.
	🎸 ♥ 5:49pm chris: hi, Irwin and folks. the only time i remember eating dirt was as my ass was getting kicked. twofer, i suppose.
	♥ 5:50pm Carmichael: Are we not men?
	5:51pm brainiac: Is Beanpole not a cult?
	5:52pm ledzeppelinsucks: HahaAHAHAhaha there were zero DUI arrests in Eastern WA for St Patrick's Day and close to nil in other shelter edict areas hopefully the DUI industry goes bankrupt and gets shafted when they beg for bailout pun intended
	5:52pm John from Florham park: @Charmichael no we ate devo
	5:52pm John from Florham park: I meant are devo
	5:52pm ledzeppelinsucks: Trump will tout the drop in crime during shelter law
	5:53pm Lyle: Tuning in a bit late. Saw you played some Miles Davis. Not sure if I've relayed the tale of the time I encountered MIles at a gig in Florida. What a strange set of circumstances that was. This was back circa '74 or so. I was backing up Dick Douglas (Mike's cousin) at a gig in Kissimee, just down the road from Seaworld. As it happens, Miles and his band were staying at the hotel we were performing in. Unexpectedly, Miles and his entourage wandered into the lounge just toward the end of our final set one evening. At first, he and his band ignored us, but as the liquor began to flow (and who knows what else we were doing back then?) Miles first began to do interpretive movements on the lighted dance floor, yelling out request after request (The Horse,Color My World, Lucretia McEvil, Lemon Tree, etc.) before he motioned for me to hand him my trombone. Of course, I was happy to oblige, even though Miles is not known for his trombone work. I thought he would call up the rest of his band. Instead, he asked us all to sit as he performed. Naturally. we were all thrilled to be in the presence of the great artist, Miles Davis. Starting low, with a series of stacatto blatts that frightened the freshwater garr in the bar's large aquarium, to the point where it was bouncing off the glass, Miles then launched into a somewhat recognizable version of Green Dolphin Street. "THis is for my friends at Seaworld," he mumbled, "and I don't mean no damned people." We all laughed nervously as he continued, working the slide as he reached for higher and higher notes, yet falling short as he was, after all, playing a trombone instead of his customary trumpet. Then to my dismay, he raised my trombone over his head and proceeded to smash it onto the stage. Everyone but me cheered, loving the sheer audacity of it. The showbiz. As for me, I was done for the night and my best 'bone was destroyed, Good thing I had my old Conn in my trunk or I'd have been out a gig, but it's spit valve leaked and it was misery for a few weeks until I could scrape together the dough for a new one. As for Miles. he winked at me on his way out, but he didn't offer to pay for it. "I dig you, man," he said. And truthfully, that was payment enough for me.
	♥ 5:55pm Turnip Rock: @Lyle: That's amazing
	♥ 5:55pm Andrew_in_WI: @lyle Thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm chris: much love, Lyle! good to see you here. :)
	5:56pm brainiac: Have you tried the Sweet & Tender Touchy sandwich? Melts in your mouth.
	5:56pm Lyle: * gig! a gig not a gog. Getting on in years. Typing hard with stiffness in joints. Might be other typos, too. Great show Irwin!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Don't go sharing the jazz cigarettes, Lyle. Remember social distancing!
	♥ 5:57pm Irwin: I fixed the typo, Lyle.
	5:58pm Laura L: Thanks for a fine show, Irwin--now, get out there and eat more dirt!
	5:58pm brainiac: godlike, I sez
	♥ 5:58pm Andrew_in_WI: "The Night Miles Broke My Bone," by Lyle
	5:59pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Thank you Irwin, for another fine program. Time well spent! Stay well or if you ain't, get well.
	♥ 5:59pm Handy Haversack: Shoot! Thanks, Irwin! Much appreciated!
	6:01pm Lyle: Thanks, Ir. No gigs for a while. Corona and all. Just practicing here. Supposed to hook up with a Margaret Whiting tribute in May. We'll see.

	♥ 3:29pm Mike & Dusty: this is delightful but i’m ready for it to be over
	3:29pm hip: I can't agree more with you, Irwin. Thank you for enlightening us. I swear it is even worse if you can 'understand' the lyrics. OMG

	♥ 3:33pm Carmichael: @hip, contact Joe McGasko.
	♥ 3:34pm Carmichael: Irwin, do you have a SARS song?
	3:34pm hip: TY @Carmichael Mail?
	♥ 3:34pm Kat in Chicago: @hip if there's a different email address associated with your pledge than the one on your profile, that might be the disconnect. The excellent Joe McG should be able to get you sorted.
	3:35pm John from Florham park: @Allison I think we are all on edge right now. So I understand
	3:35pm hip: TY @Kat. I bet that's the problem (2 different email addresses)
	3:35pm flashbazbo: Could be worse. After the plague there was nothing but novelty songs for 120 years. Take care every body.

	♥ 3:36pm Kat in Chicago: @hip jmcgasko@wfmu.org

	3:36pm hip: Great @Kat. Thanks a lot
	♥ 3:37pm Irwin: Carm: I have an H1N1 song.
	♥ 3:37pm Kat in Chicago: @hip you're welcome, and thanks for pledging!
	3:37pm John from Florham park: @Kat your a good egg
	3:38pm BH: shouldn't flu songs be the same song with slight changes to get around vaccinations?
	♥ 3:38pm Carmichael: That'll do, Irwin!
	♥ 3:38pm p20: (He's named after Einstein but also Ayler. And the uncle in the Paul McCartney song.)
	♥ 3:40pm Irene Trudel: Chiming in late. In times of Crisis, people are compelled to react in song. I look forward to hearing some of them. I also look forward to your McCoy Tyner tribute, whenever it may happen.
	♥ 3:40pm p20: @BH: the idea of mutating ear-worms is truly terrifying
	♥ 3:41pm WoodsOfNH: @Andy M - Hey Andy!
	3:45pm hip: German does not help either
	♥ 3:45pm Marley P. Dogg: Sehr güt
	3:45pm Laura L: And vielen Dank for Peter Schilling too.
	3:46pm hip: WunderKorona
	3:50pm cooter: might you play some Doc Watson?
	♥ 3:50pm Andrew_in_WI: I saw Great Lake Swimmers 15 years. Small bar, rainy Monday. Three people in the audience.
	♥ 3:52pm p20: @Andrew_in_WI : Hi from Chi!
	♥ 3:52pm Handy Haversack: Sounded real good, @Andrew. I feel qualified to review because I, too, have swum in Great Lakes.
	♥ 3:53pm Andrew_in_WI: @P20 Hey! No Horse Lords...
	♥ 3:54pm Asheville Jon: thank you Irwin
	♥ 3:55pm p20: @Andrew: Yeah. I'm really hoping they reschedule. I know there are bigger problems right now, but a few shows I was really looking forward to have recently been canceled. Damo Suzuki, Mayo Thompson, and Horse Lords ...
	3:55pm Jennica: I swam in all 5 Great Lakes in one day in 1978. True.
	♥ 3:56pm p20: @Jennica: Wow! I've been in Lake Michigan many times, and Superior a couple times. Not sure about the rest.
	♥ 3:56pm zopa: Step one is admitting you have a virus.
	♥ 3:56pm Andrew_in_WI: @Jennica I hope you went E to W... Erie was nasty in 78
	♥ 3:56pm Carmichael: Boiled in Lead sings a nice little ditty about The Plague called "The Microorganism".
	♥ 3:57pm Marley P. Dogg: Glad liquor stores here in hoboken are deemed essential and allowed to stay open
	3:57pm berbo: The WI governor closed all the bars on St. Patrick's day.
	♥ 3:57pm Andrew_in_WI: @P20 yeah, I was looking forward to Damo too
	♥ 3:57pm Handy Haversack: Were they closer together in 1978? I've been in Michigan, Huron, Erie.
	3:58pm Earth Walker: That’s like the bar tabac here in France
	3:58pm Jennica: @Andrew_in_WI: Circuitous. Grew up swimming in Erie (and Chautauqua)... and yes, part of that growing up was in the '70s.
	♥ 3:58pm Carmichael: Ireland also closed the bars for St. Paddy's.
	3:59pm Jennica: @Handy: Nope. Further away.
	3:59pm Earth Walker: The junkie smokers and drinkers gotta get there fix !
	♥ 3:59pm Peter from Dover NJ: "Get me down / to the TB ward."
	♥ 4:00pm Handy Haversack: @Jennica: Even more impressive!
	♥ 4:01pm p20: From the online guide "How to visit the Great Lakes in 24 Hours" (q.v.): Arrive at 2 p.m. in the “Sunrise Coast” town of Port Austin. The area is known for the famed Turnip Rock, which looks exactly like the vegetable.
	♥ 4:02pm Irene Trudel: Brian Dewan at his most heavenly!
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Alison Porchnik: Is he talking about his hair?
	4:03pm Hawkeye: ART. I feel you bro.
	4:04pm Hawkeye: I would have walked right out of control room
	4:04pm Jennica: @p20: It sounds like such a guide could have saved us some time.
	♥ 4:05pm Irwin: "a fundamental change of spine."
	♥ 4:05pm jmd: I love this bit. Thanks Irwin.
	4:05pm rebeldiva: Ugh, Garfunkle is such an arrogant tool!
	♥ 4:05pm p20: @Jennica: but so much more impressive to freestyle it!
	♥ 4:05pm Irwin: Bless the engineer who salvaged this studio chatter.
	♥ 4:06pm Carmichael: This is even better than Ray Manzarek talking about Morrison.
	4:06pm Hawkeye: Simon and BUZZ KILLINGTON
	4:06pm rebeldiva: it's not a wrong note, it's an indecision.....LOLOL!
	4:06pm berbo: an indecision going. I feel you.
	♥ 4:06pm Mungerphut: Who is the producer talking to Artie?
	4:07pm brainiac: I can't imagine why anyone would say Artie was hard to work with
	4:07pm Hawkeye: Can you imagine having to pretend to listen to this direction
	♥ 4:07pm JohnEBGood: Really dug that Swine Flu Blues tune. I'm working "remote" as a 7th grade math teacher. All WFMU. No television!
	🎸 ♥ 4:07pm Alison Porchnik: He sounds so rock and roll!
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm Alison Porchnik: ...and punchable.
	4:08pm PJ: Art cares about Art. I love this.
	4:08pm Keith in Vermont: Natural rock sensibilities? Haunting minor chords? Windier? Speedier? What fun!
	♥ 4:08pm jmd: "...a little windier..." I don't know if that's possible.
	4:08pm andrewb: quoting a fellow listener, the studio guys called him Garkle cause there was" no art and no fun"
	♥ 4:08pm Asheville Jon: is he tripping? this is soooo bizarre
	♥ 4:08pm p20: I had to search for a picture of "Turnip Rock". It really does not look that much like a turnip to me. If I traveled all the way to Port Ausin MI to see it, I think I'd be a bit disappointed.
	4:08pm Keith in Vermont: Just kle.
	♥ 4:09pm p20: The echo on Garfunkel's voice makes it, for me.
	4:09pm Dean: "Calculating the precise number of ways by which one can leave one's lover encounters hurdles when we take account of quantum phenomena."--The other guy.
	4:09pm brainiac: YES "EL TOUCHY"! Ear to ear
	4:10pm Hawkeye: Andrew B that is the best laugh I have had all day
	♥ 4:10pm p20: That el-touchy horn-blast just woke up my sleeping cat Albert. "What the hell was that?"
	♥ 4:10pm Andrew_in_WI: @p20 You need to squint just right, and also be slightly buzzed. Then you'll see it
	♥ 4:10pm Carmichael: Brainiac, in what place are you sheltering in place?? :)
	♥ 4:11pm p20: @Andrew_in_WI: I'm halfway there. I'll work on the squint.
	4:12pm Dave Miss: Has anyone done a cover of My (sh)corona?
	4:12pm Laura L: Luie Luie and his bio-hazardous ways!
	4:13pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: p20, my cat, Jules, has been slumbering all day on my desk working from home with me. He had the presence of mind to move to the arm of the couch in the lounge only moments ahead of that horn-blast. Timing!
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm listener 126464: there's probably a good reason he played all the instruments by himself
	4:14pm flashbazbo: People are having fun with Artie. But they always clip the ending where he resolves the issues and appears to be sane.
	♥ 4:14pm Asheville Jon: "appears" can be very subjective
	4:15pm brainiac: @ Carmichael: I'm in a darkened room, trying to be aware of my breath. Also self-soothing by careful rationing of the Guinness I hoarded yesterday
	4:15pm Dave Miss: Here ya go Irwin: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kKLNUNNF8HEBG5NacqoDsEmh1kwhmWKgs
	4:17pm brainiac: And you? How are you today Carmichael?
	♥ 4:18pm Carmichael: OK, despite last night. The Jameson flowed freely, directly into my gullet.
	4:20pm brainiac: atta boy ;) I enjoyed one by the fireside. It was a cozy St. Pats
	♥ 4:20pm Turnip Rock: @Andrew_in_WI: Oh my god, I see it now!
	4:21pm sphere: I'm generally a teetotaller, but I brought beer back into my life for the first time in years. SeaQuench Ale from Dogfish Head. I'm trying to parcel it out over the next two weeks.
	4:23pm brainiac: life during wartime
	♥ 4:25pm Turnip Rock: @sphere: Prost!
	4:26pm Dean: Had to cancel the monthly naked Twister party.
	♥ 4:28pm Handy Haversack: I believe you ex- and implicitly, Irwin!
	♥ 4:28pm Turnip Rock: Hah, check out the other song titles on this Luie Luie record: lightintheattic.net...
	♥ 4:29pm Carmichael: I got some groceries, Some peanut butter.
	4:30pm Dave Miss: Oh no. Children singing. Does this belong on music of mine control?
	♥ 4:30pm Turnip Rock: (I don't know what's up with tracks 7 and 10 there, seems like a quality control failure)
	4:30pm laughingacademy: To last a couple of days?
	4:33pm Sensitive Listener: May I request Wichitai-To by the legendary Jim Pepper? That song has SOUL and the man has MIND!
	4:37pm Jennica: @Sensitive Listener: A long time fave.
	♥ 4:40pm Irwin: You won't believe what Irwin said about that song on Ken's comments board this morning. Shameful!
	4:40pm DANIEL BAKER: Enjoying the broadcast greatly! Just the right level of obscurity and of melodic folk-psych-pop idiosyncrasy.
	♥ 4:40pm Turnip Rock: Almost tuned out due to a deep-seated, visceral loathing of The Association (or at least their music) - but this Miles is a nice reward for hanging in.
	♥ 4:42pm Irwin: TR: We call it genre-surfing tokenism.
	4:43pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Turnip, you 'n me both. It has the same effect on me as (I'm assuming, based on his harsh but correct criticism today) Toachi-maroni or whatever that damned song was on Ken's show has on our esteemed host.
	♥ 4:46pm Handy Haversack: @Daniel Baker: Is that you, Elgin Dann?
	4:47pm mb: Irwin
	♥ 4:51pm Roberto: YES! I was hoping this would make a return.
	♥ 4:52pm Roberto: (Wonderland)
	♥ 4:54pm Turnip Rock: It's the vocal harmonies. Just too much. Something off-putting/sinister there. When I was a kid, the song "Windy" just terrified me.
	♥ 4:54pm Roberto: I thought you were going to say AMANDA
	4:55pm Ira Fan: diggin' this Corona-Classic!
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Alison Porchnik: This song is gonna go Macarena!
	4:56pm BH: how grimy does a remix need to be in order to be called a mutation instead of a remix?
	4:56pm Jelena: Hahaha, press conferences gonna save us!
	4:57pm Dean: Why is the virus named after a model of car? Is there a Priusvirus? Town&countryvirus? Hummervirus?
	♥ 4:57pm Turnip Rock: Stuff that's supposed to be disturbing, like Nurse with Wound or Wolf Eyes, isn't one-tenth as disturbing as stuff that's inadvertently disturbing.
	4:57pm prudy: yeah this is pretty bad...
	4:58pm Ira Fan: this one only has 18 views on Youtube. The Cumbia one had 5 million
	♥ 4:58pm Roberto: I was thinking "Sick Day" was a propos lately.
	4:59pm Earth Walker: Always look on the bright side of life
	4:59pm brainiac: "lead us not into Penn Station" was a pretty good line
	♥ 4:59pm Irwin: Would you believe that Martoglio's was the 2nd best CV song I could find? I mean, it's a musical plague.
	♥ 5:00pm Kat in Chicago: I was just typing that @brainiac!
	5:00pm brainiac: heh
	♥ 5:00pm Turnip Rock: @Dean: It's named after the beer, not the car.
	♥ 5:00pm Carmichael: 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy.
	5:01pm Dean: Okay, beer makes sense.
	5:01pm robyn and 6-yr old mini glistener ajax: thanks irwin for keeping us all sane with good tunes (i grew up going to fountains of wayne, what a weird nj treasure trove)
	5:02pm jan: @Irwin- About Sick day, I'm feeling about the the way you did when you commented on Ken's message board!
	♥ 5:02pm Carmichael: The Tsing Tao virus?
	5:03pm Earth Walker: Only on WFMU ! Stay tuned
	5:04pm William Main: I just listened to Satan Has Been Paralyzed by David Ingles. Irwin, you have a bizarre personality for even knowing about such a song. I guess I'm part of the bizarro world too now.
	♥ 5:08pm dave wuz here: i hope sting is ok. i'm worried this virus thing could hamper his creativity.
	5:13pm Jennica: @dave wuz: Ha!
	5:13pm Ira Fan: that wuz lovely irwin
	♥ 5:16pm Little Danny: Cover artwork by the Drummer Stream's Evan Crankshaw (Explorers Room), this Frank LoCrasto album!
	♥ 5:19pm Spankyflop: My brother had a Crumar Orchestrator and an Arp Axe
	5:20pm ignatatus666: The Cumbria was excellent
	5:20pm brainiac: I always wanted a Farfisa. I did have a Rhodes 88. T'was nice.
	5:21pm ignatatus666: I thought it was Ira who played the Cumbia. Anyway I dug it
	5:21pm ignatatus666: Damn spellcheck to hell
	5:22pm Ira Fan: i didnt play it, i only commented on it
	5:22pm Nacho: Thanks helping me kill the afternoon Irwin!
	5:30pm brainiac: I wish I could delete a few of my comments. But it's a godlike power reserved for the select few.
	♥ 5:31pm Irwin: Indeed. But I can delete them for you!
	♥ 5:32pm Irwin: Limit three deletions per show.
	5:32pm brainiac: Thanks man. Kill 'em all, I say.
	♥ 5:32pm Carmichael: Be careful what you ask for, brainiac.
	5:33pm brainiac: The zeitgeist is getting to me, I'm not afraid to admit it.
	♥ 5:33pm Carmichael: Let God sort 'em out.
	5:34pm sphere: What should God do after They sort us out?
	♥ 5:34pm Turnip Rock: The zeitgeist is a pretty scary geist.
	♥ 5:35pm Irwin: People want their normal back.
	♥ 5:35pm Carmichael: Depends if your God is a hairy thunderer or a cosmic muffin.
	5:35pm Listener Robert: @Jan, have you seen the puppet show that went along with "Satan Has Been Paralyzed"? Irwin dug that video out for us one night at Fez, downstairs from Time.
	5:35pm sphere: Personally, I would sort us out alphabetically.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Andy M.: This Car Seat Headrest song just won me over.
	5:36pm wat the fuvk: is this comment section, is this reeal
	5:36pm Listener Robert: Darn, should've addressed the one above to William Main.
	5:36pm Jennica: @Andy: I have been listening to it daily for weeks. Love it so.
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Andy M.: @Jennica Which album is it from?
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Andy M.: @Jennica Oh, disregard my last question. LOL
	5:39pm Listener Robert: Has anyone ever done a live action version of "Satan Has Been Paralyzed" for Hoof and Mouth? I seem to recall the stage at Monty Hall's being wheelchair accessible.
	♥ 5:41pm Turnip Rock: The thing is -- what or when was ever "normal"? In my lifetime, just to name a few: Watergate, the 1970s energy crisis, the Cold War with its Mutually Assured Destruction, the Reagan years, multiple wars in Iraq, Weapons of Mass Destruction, 9/11, Chernobyl, Fukushima, oil spills, hurricanes, climate change, an ocean full of plastic, now this.... seriously, was "normal" just a a couple of weeks in the mid-1990s?

	5:53pm Lyle: Tuning in a bit late. Saw you played some Miles Davis. Not sure if I've relayed the tale of the time I encountered MIles at a gig in Florida. What a strange set of circumstances that was. This was back circa '74 or so. I was backing up Dick Douglas (Mike's cousin) at a gig in Kissimee, just down the road from Seaworld. As it happens, Miles and his band were staying at the hotel we were performing in. Unexpectedly, Miles and his entourage wandered into the lounge just toward the end of our final set one evening. At first, he and his band ignored us, but as the liquor began to flow (and who knows what else we were doing back then?) Miles first began to do interpretive movements on the lighted dance floor, yelling out request after request (The Horse,Color My World, Lucretia McEvil, Lemon Tree, etc.) before he motioned for me to hand him my trombone. Of course, I was happy to oblige, even though Miles is not known for his trombone work. I thought he would call up the rest of his band. Instead, he asked us all to sit as he performed. Naturally. we were all thrilled to be in the presence of the great artist, Miles Davis. Starting low, with a series of stacatto blatts that frightened the freshwater garr in the bar's large aquarium, to the point where it was bouncing off the glass, Miles then launched into a somewhat recognizable version of Green Dolphin Street. "THis is for my friends at Seaworld," he mumbled, "and I don't mean no damned people." We all laughed nervously as he continued, working the slide as he reached for higher and higher notes, yet falling short as he was, after all, playing a trombone instead of his customary trumpet. Then to my dismay, he raised my trombone over his head and proceeded to smash it onto the stage. Everyone but me cheered, loving the sheer audacity of it. The showbiz. As for me, I was done for the night and my best 'bone was destroyed, Good thing I had my old Conn in my trunk or I'd have been out a gig, but it's spit valve leaked and it was misery for a few weeks until I could scrape together the dough for a new one. As for Miles. he winked at me on his way out, but he didn't offer to pay for it. "I dig you, man," he said. And truthfully, that was payment enough for me.
