Listener comments!

  3:01pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

so you've repented?
  3:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

If I disregard everything you ever said, that means you WILL be participating in Single Going Steady! Hope you got a 45 cued and ready to go!!!
  3:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

But wait, that also means you were never on the radio to begin with, and I wouldn't know you Irwin, and I'm typing away to nobody and...oh dear Lord...
  3:04pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

ultimately it's an existential void, Matt...don't GO THERE
  3:05pm
earwax:

Does that mean we should disregard this statement too?
  3:05pm
Denise in DC:

Damn. I had to fight my work computer to get the stream.

Do we have to disregard that awesome Jim Woodring piece?
  3:06pm
Capt. Renault:

Round up the usual commenters.
  3:06pm
Caryn:

Matt, who is this Irwin you speak of? There's no DJ with that name on WFMU? Actually, are you even reading this? Is this all in your head?
  3:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

Or perhaps we should only disregard last week's episode, about the gyrations?
  3:07pm
Laura L:

No comment.
  3:07pm
Existential Void:

Oh yeah, we're going there this week!!
  3:09pm
Turlet:

Don't you existentially void in here, bub.
  3:10pm
Van in Dallas:

I love when this show comes on. It means my Wednesday work day is winding down.
  3:11pm
G:

Irwin's Slot: The End of the Hump.
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ruthann Friedman's song! With washed-out steel drums, this is trippy!
  3:11pm
Ricardo Montalban:

Wow! This is one of the weirdest things I've heard in ages!
  3:12pm
Paul Lynde:

Perfect...we'll be in touch. NEXT!
  3:13pm
Alvin Chipmunk:

Expect a call from my attorneys.
  3:16pm
Ricardo Montalban:

I've found a couple of weird children's steel drum records lately. One is even a gospel record
  3:16pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I'm glad this song is longer than I would have guessed.
  3:16pm
David Seville:

..or from my witchdoctor.
  3:17pm
don:

this is incredible
  3:18pm
Wynona:

I'd steal drums.
  3:19pm
Ricardo Montalban:

I hear Richard Branson flew down to Jamaica to offer Alvin the lead singer position in DEVO when the Chipmunks broke up.
  3:19pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

you'd club seals
  3:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

That last one could be a single! An extra minute to "Hey Jude"--play it, go to the bathroom, and refill your coffee too!
  3:19pm
Denise in DC:

I'm glad I have given up trying to post amusing comments. The pressure was killing me.
  3:20pm
G:

"Singles" = only play one track at a time. Problem solved.
  3:20pm
Sick Joke 1:

@DCE: A baby seal walks into a club...
  3:21pm
Sick Joke 2:

A baby seal walks into a tavern..."What'll you have?" asked the bartender. The seal replied "ANYTHING but a Canadian Club on the rocks."
  3:23pm
No Longer Relevant Joke #1:

Bartender: Sorry. We don't serve neutrinos in here.

A neutrino walks into a bar
  3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Denise: You probably won gold and silver medals in your time, right? Back in '08 perhaps? This is a young person's game, don't keep pushing yourself for too long or you could get hurt. (resumes comment training)
  3:24pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

oh hell Jerry Rice, Jerry Rice for god's sake!
  3:25pm
Disembodied punchline #1:

...he only took tips...
  3:25pm
Ike:

Your strained, self-important contrarianism is exhausting, Irwin.
  3:26pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Ike-attack!
  3:27pm
Matt from Springfield:

You need to play 30 or so at once, to get a whole SGS show over with in 3 minutes.
  3:27pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

now this, this is brilliant!
  3:27pm
Irwin:

Ike, that's one for the resume. If I ever compile one.
  3:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

CCC! He's good!
  3:28pm
Who Knows:

Your politically-obsessed intolerance isn't exactly alluring (or free-form), Ike :-)
  3:29pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

what's the Radiohead reference to? I don't know any Radiohead song with that beat.
  3:29pm
still b/p:

God bless Roosevelt for establishing the Civilian Conservation Corps so they could work on projects like this and develop character.
  3:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Ike: Irwin leaves bait all the time, but he won't just take it. You need a full fledged psychological operation to counter-contrarian Irwin. He may have already planned for that, so you'd probably have to counter his own counter-contrarianism.
  3:30pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

good use of government stimulation
  3:31pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

..."one of these band just doesn't belong"...
  3:31pm
still b/p:

...so that's contrarianism to Irwinfinity.
  3:31pm
Droll:

I think working Radiohead into a mashup has become the genre's Wihelm Scream.
  3:31pm
Pensioner:

Lousy government! They say all their Stimulus funds are used up! They never even got to me, and I haven't had any Stimulus since Evelyn died!
  3:32pm
Ike:

Nothing political about that one. I was just pining for the old days of Irwin doing funny voices. But if you want something political THAT badly, I'll throw it in for free: Why would Irwin ever need a resume? He can pull himself up by his own bootstraps, surely! @Matt, good point.

Also, that CCC mash-up killed. I dig this Foo Fighters too.
  3:33pm
Blllllah:

hooray, finally someone to champion that sleepy band the Food Fighters
  3:33pm
Matt from Springfield:

@b/p: Irwinity! Since Irwin is so hard to crack, we may even be witnessing an "Irwingularity"--no jokes and sarcasm can escape him.
  3:35pm
Matt from Springfield:

FRENCH TOAST MAN!!
  3:35pm
Roberto:

FRENCH TOAST MAN!!!
  3:35pm
Disembodied punchline #1:

wow! I had no idea the French TOast Man was a single!
  3:35pm
Roberto:

Jinx, Matt!
  3:37pm
Joe Bacon:

Mmmmmm! Got to have some French Toast!
  3:38pm
disastrogirl:

French Toast Man! It's a huge favorite of mine. I never thought I'd hear it on the radio.
  3:38pm
Who Knows:

Ike's graduated to show motto. Congrats!
  3:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

@disastrogirl: I'm surprised how many have heard of it! The first time I heard it here, someone commented "...And don't be late for school!" at the very beginning of the song. I was thinking WTF? But then I was astonishing they actually knew the ending to it! Must be an underground classic!
  3:40pm
Raoul:

The FALL - there is none better.
  3:40pm
Lana Turner:

The French Toastman Always Rings Twice?
  3:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Roberto: One time, I commented at the same time as someone else--I forget just what now, but it was the EXACT same thing! Same capitalization, same FOUR exclamation points (it's 2 vs 3 here). It was eerie.
  3:48pm
Ricardo Montalban:

Polio's coming back too! (thanks, Jenny McCarthy!)
  3:48pm
wILd nEIl:

Hunting for you own food is coming back. Too. And growing your own.
  3:49pm
Matt from Springfield:

Derriere-garde!
Hipsters in Williamsburg Brooklyn are now sporting 18", 20 pound rotary cell phones. Or will imminently. Get ahead on this trend!
  3:49pm
Roberto:

I normally eschew multiple exclamation points, but it's FRENCH TOAST MAN DAMMIT!!(!)
  3:50pm
wILd nEIl:

Autstralia recently minted a one ton gold coin.
  3:55pm
wILd nEIl:

Isn't this a cover? This IS a cover!! of Who???
  3:56pm
Raoul:

Me old band used to do a pretty killer cover of this Rezillos tune.
  3:57pm
Raoul:

wILd: this is the original.
  3:57pm
das:

Great tune, better title!
  3:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Conflicting Odors? Wow, not so familiar on this one! Lay it DOWN, child!
  3:58pm
Wiseass Query:

Was this a cassingle?
  4:00pm
Droll:

I remember calling Hot 101 to play this Amanda tune when it was topping the charts. Busy signal for hours. Didn't this bump Bananarama off?
  4:00pm
Whit Whitlesly:

Flexi-single I believe
  4:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

Amanda-san!!
@Wiseass: I think Amanda was cass-everything.

NOW GO SNIFF A GOAT!
  4:02pm
Matt from Springfield:

Great gargle at the ending!
I think Amanda-san can teach us a lot here: if you feel like a fool, then jump in the nearest pool. Then you'll be cool.
  4:02pm
Goat:

GET YOUR NOSE AWAY FROM THERE, CREEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4:03pm
PMD:

Justin Timberlake!
  4:03pm
What it's starting to sound like:

Jump in-to the lake / Jump in-to the lake / Jump in-to the la-a-a-ake...
  4:05pm
Dick in a Box:

I don't even understand.
  4:07pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Richard: It's about shopping at Mondegreen's.
  4:08pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this is chill
  4:09pm
wILd nEIl:

Is this a 45 played at 33?
  4:10pm
G:

@WildNeil: Only in the player's head.
  4:11pm
Lizardner Dave:

I thought you didn't have a TV anymore Irwin. How were you watching the game - online?
  4:11pm
Parq:

Just stopping by to say that "Justin Timberlake" is one of my favorite tracks ever. I would happlily listen at full volume to a 12 minute version. Thanks for airing it.
  4:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: If that puts you into a sad existential void, just wait till MLB ends, the NBA still won't start, and you'll have nothing to watch at the bar!
  4:13pm
G:

FWIW, Liz D., mlb.com offers online streaming tv these days, all over the world, except where a local blackout applies to avoid violating other agreements...
  4:15pm
PMD:

I don't remember if I supported you... how sad is that. You might thus get another pledge out of me...
  4:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

"WFMU -- forget if you donated to us? Then donate again! Don't blame us, we're so poor, we can't PAY attention!"
  4:19pm
Stu:

It's that car commercial song again.
  4:24pm
disastrogirl:

Fred Lane. I first heard him in my friends garage full of LPs back in the late 80's. Back then you really had to work to find the weird.

Now git off my lawn!
  4:26pm
Matt from Springfield:

Fred from Jupiter is a funky little electro-number!
  4:27pm
Denise in DC:

James Kochalka is a very nice guy. Saw him at the Small Press Expo and told him that the DC Psychotronic Film Society used to present regular sing-alongs to the video of his "Monkey vs. Robot." He seemed tickled.
  4:29pm
Denise in DC:

Aargh. Has the stream crashed for anybody else?
  4:29pm
Irwin:

JKS is very cool. Recommend his comix, too.
  4:31pm
lewis:

streaming fine here in Madison (wisconsin that is)
  4:32pm
Matt from Springfield:

Early Cocteau Twin-like guitaring here, at least before it got a bit twangy toward the middle.
  4:34pm
Sean Daily:

Well, I'll admit that the freezers full of body parts sounds pretty kick-ass...
  4:34pm
Carmichael:

Just back from a BBQ. Ribs 'n'Irwin!
  4:34pm
Ricardo Montalban:

God! I had forgotten about this song! So long ago!
  4:37pm
Matt from Springfield:

You Can't Finish PLEASING People, so you got to PLEASE yourself. My Calypso lyric for today.
  4:44pm
Ike:

Sadly, I probably can't make it to the Record Fair this year. Family stuff. Next year, I hope! If I somehow DO make it on Sunday afternoon, I'll prob. be in the A.V. Lounge.
  4:44pm
Denise in DC:

Frighteningly enough, I know all the words to this Gilbert O'Sullivan song.
  4:45pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Ike Speaking of which, I heard you mentioned on the Thunk Tank meetup broadcast last night! How was that? Were you a *problem listener* there? :)
  4:45pm
Stanley:

Gilbert O'Sullivan?!?! You're perverted, Irwin.
  4:46pm
PMD:

Boy, I wish I could participate in events...
  4:46pm
wILd nEIl:

This song blows.
  4:46pm
Carmichael:

Gilbert rules!
  4:46pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Denise: This sounds like a product of its AM time, a Power Country Crossover Pop single. I can see this being in the charts of the time.
  4:47pm
cglenn:

love that 'Get Down' tune just right now...
  4:48pm
wILd nEIl:

This song, on the other hand, kicks some serious ass!
  4:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Unique form of Japanese female Punk! Love this!
  4:52pm
Ike:

I'd like to think I was well-behaved last night, @Matt. I only got boisterous after Jay read his censored filthy story.
  4:56pm
Tom:

Blue Cheer! Went to the Fillmore East in early '68 and they sounded great!
  5:01pm
Carmichael:

Give 'em hell, brother Ike! Censorship sucks!
  5:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

Not that I mind, but hard rock warning about slipping on black ice sounds very Spinal Tap to me!
  5:08pm
Matt from Springfield:

NEW KATE BUSH! It's coming out soon!
  5:09pm
Katya:

What listener Katya thinks of the host: Your strained, self-important contrarianism is hot, Irwin.
  5:10pm
Who Knows:

If I could only have one of two people approve me, I'd really have to pick Katya over Ike.
  5:13pm
glenn:

strainy hotness. my favourite kind.
  5:14pm
Listening Out There:

self-important contrarianism = SIC
  5:15pm
Matt from Springfield:

It's difficult to be self-important--that's why it's so STRAINED! And contrarianism, obviously, is hot*.

*No it isn't!
  5:16pm
glenn:

the quality of hotness is not strained.
  5:17pm
Katya:

Matt, you always make me laugh! Thanks for that!
  5:20pm
Irwin:

Is it warm in here?
  5:21pm
Who Knows:

No. It's hot in here.
  5:22pm
Ike:

Hey @Carm, I didn't give anybody hell except for the FCC. I get animated when talking about their arbitrary absurdities.
  5:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: Thanks! You must be a fun person then :)
  5:26pm
Smoking Gun:

Irwin, don't you understand?? It's a COUP!! The summer schedule used to be only 1/3 a year, then extended to almost half, now it's going to EXCEED HALF! The "temporary" summer is now the new normal! WAKE UP! Ken is holding you regulars down, and he doesn't care because he's on both!!!
  5:26pm
Katya:

Get a load of this strained, self-important contrarianism! Bravo! So hot!
  5:27pm
Listening Out There:

Drive...or Be Drivel. That's what I say...
  5:28pm
Irwin:

perspiring ... a little ...
  5:29pm
Katya:

Contrarianism for listeners, as well! Too hot!
  5:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

(resumes contrarian training)
No, no, not if that's how you see it!, I used to see it that way--you STILL do?, no, nuh-uh, ain't happenin'...
  5:30pm
Kindergarten Teacher:

You say contrarian, I say doesn't play well with others.
  5:31pm
Katya:

Every time I go to the playlist on Irwin's show, it detracts from the show, because you folks always make me laugh. Love it! (Matt, I wish we were neighbors.)
  5:31pm
Contrarianism:

Keepin' the free in freeform. Sheeple have their own flock already.
  5:33pm
Innuendo Parser:

By neighbors, what she means is hubba hubba.
  5:34pm
Contrarianism:

you mean Innudendo Perver
  5:34pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: We could be--where do you live? In the Washington DC area?
  5:34pm
cglenn:

this song makes me think the '70's
  5:35pm
Matt from Springfield:

Probably is--John McLaughlin, he was "the Mahavishnu" so this is probably his album.
  5:35pm
Katya:

We used to be neighbors. Not so much now.
  5:37pm
G:

Birds of Fire was the classic fusion album, just as Close to the Edge or Selling England was the classic prog album. So early/mid-70s (a/k/a pre-punk) it's not funny!
  5:38pm
Doug S.:

Give the Jesus Some.
  5:38pm
Mott:

true dat G. but i still look back on that era fondly..
  5:38pm
Matt from Springfield:

Did you once live in Springfield VA?! Quite a few FMU listeners have passed through the area--PMD used to live pretty closeby, and Van in Dallas just told me he used to live in Alexandria.
  5:39pm
Katya:

Nope, DC punk kid. Then up to NYC metro area where I discovered the joys of strained, self-important contrarianism in long jackets
  5:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: <injoke> The Cake?? Do you realize who you're going to summon with this??? </injoke>
  5:40pm
G:

Me too, but I was trying not to cheerlead for or against anything in that comment, just give context, since that had been raised (i.e., where was Birds of Fire located, culturally)
  5:41pm
G:

@Matt: Fortunately that problem has never existed on this board. Absit nomen!
  5:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: That's cool--all that was before my time, but I'm proud of what DC has given punk -- other than Black Flag (Rollins), I learned about that stuff mainly from this station.
  5:44pm
Matt from Springfield:

Cuervo's some fighter, no one ever makes it to 15 rounds with him.
  5:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yes! The full length cut of this recording!
  5:49pm
Don Julio 1942:

Why do people insist on drinking shit tequila after they've had every other alcohol concoction? Don't mix your drinks, Tracy Byrd
  5:50pm
Katya:

Mimi and Jody!
  5:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wednesday afternoons are just as fun, thanks to Amanda!
  5:53pm
Matt from Springfield:

They lock up "Song of the South" permanently, yet Disney allows THIS to circulate?!
  5:54pm
Katya:

Get your own copy at the WFMU Record Fair this weekend!
  5:55pm
earwax:

Miley Cyrus and Amanda are the same person
  5:56pm
Jesus H. Christ:

My name!
  5:57pm
Listening Out There:

Haven't heard this in a while It's good. Guess I'll stick around...maybe...
  5:57pm
G:

@earwax: Right after Miley disappeared from this show's playlist, Amanda began appearing here weekly. Coincidence? You be the judge.
  5:58pm
G:

Great show, as ever...
  5:58pm
Stanley:

That's Free Form Radio for ya!
  5:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

Fantastic show Irwin! Great comments everyone!
