Listener comments!
	7/10 8:30pm Ferrell Katz: I am highist biddur agin.
	2:30pm Listener Robert: Sure, I'll remember next time my socks have a cough.
	2:58pm Laura L: "The Three-Headed Dragon is the threat of psychological disengagement caused by apathy, frustration, and cynicism ... it stalks the unsuspecting, leading to isolation in life and disengagement at work..." (So I read online, anyway.)
	👻 3:00pm G: and away, we go...
	3:01pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Irwin David chusid!!! How the heck are you sir
	3:01pm spodiodi: greetings, Irwin greetings, all
	3:01pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: It’s a hot steamy day here in the Bronx
	3:04pm Carmichael: ↳ Laura L @2:58 Must be true then. Heya Irwin.
	3:06pm SeaCreature: Irwin! Jazz Police! Members of the far-flung Bodenheim clan! Here for the music.
	3:08pm Bruce S.: I was gonna go but you're keeping me hear
	👻 3:08pm DjLorraine: ↳ Laura L @2:58 Utoh, i'm heat intolerant and i can't even get rid of a small cane toad.
	3:08pm Carmichael: ↳ SeaCreature @3:06 Finally, someone who isn't here for the cat avatars.
	3:10pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Radiation Vibe" by "Hem" what song does this sound like.... it's going to drive me nuts
	3:10pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Full Moon Power" by "Pearl Earl" i guess i meant this song
	3:10pm Irwin: ↳ spodiodi @3:10 It reminds you of "Radiation Vibe" by Fountains of Wayne.
	3:11pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "1974 Blues" by "Eddie Harris" Late to say it, but damn I love Eddie Harris. His live performance with Les McCann at one of those festivals was stellar. (And yeah, I'm late to mentioning this because of stupid work.)
	3:12pm Doug in MP: ↳ Irwin @3:10 The resemblance is uncanny
	3:12pm Irwin: ↳ Mortricia @3:11 Ever hear the album of Eddie Harris's between-tune chatter? It's hilarious and unairable.
	3:12pm spodiodi: ↳ Irwin @3:10 thanks, Irwin. it was actually the song before that one that caught mt attention
	3:13pm Bruce S.: ↳ Mortricia @3:11 Compared to What
	3:14pm Matt from Springfield: Jim Flora woodcut? Love those. HI Irwin and Chusidians!
	3:16pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:14 Not Flora.
	3:17pm Listening Out There: Floop…
	3:18pm chris_in_space: I friggin' love @Irwin's shows. Hello fellow denizens of freeform radio art.
	3:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:16 Fauna? (dodges tomatoes)
	3:23pm Holly Grail: Medieval Megafauna, for sure.
	3:23pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:21 No idea the artist. Found it online. Thanks to whoever sent the link. Memory fails.
	3:23pm tuskandhusk: tuned in from the end Oregon trail
	3:24pm BH: good afternoon, the youngest cat appears to be stalking something that he spotted on the floor down here
	3:25pm Sarah: Wow wish I could transport to the Oregon trail. This is a great set.
	3:28pm common: irwin, all
	👻 3:28pm chris in the redwoods: i am a warm chris. 78F in my office. hello, Irwin and everyone!
	3:29pm chris_in_space: ↳ chris in the redwoods @3:28 Also a warm Chris over here.
	3:29pm Andrea C: Hello Irwin and 'nites. Today I had a reality check when Ken played Jazz Police tracks and revealed its ancient roots. Silly me.
	3:29pm Mortricia: ↳ Irwin @3:12 I definitely need to find that!
	3:29pm Matt from Springfield: Gus will let us down, though he lets us down eloquently.
	3:29pm jimphis: “The reason why I’m talking s@#t!” It’s on Atlantic
	3:30pm Mortricia: ↳ Bruce S. @3:13 Yes that tune in particular is just so good I could listen to it on repeat for hours! =)
	3:31pm jimphis: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9p74hFDlLR-neqolC014ge6DdKgE6Cg9
	3:32pm Eugene R.: Any truth to the rumor that your contract with WFMU is based on the contract negotiated by Bendix A. Bodenheim for Rupert Mills of the Newark Peppers?
	👻 3:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Monetizing Your Misery" by "Gus Bodenheim" Mostly supposit.
	3:34pm Matt from Springfield: My uncle has an old Delbarton Miasma in his garage, next to the AMC Pacer.
	3:34pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Monetizing Your Misery" by "Gus Bodenheim" I'm taking one now called Farxiga. Who picked a name that sounds like a cross between farts and farcical?
	3:34pm RevWaldo: Unified! Not the same without the broken window SF
	👻 3:34pm egould: Trisumavit. Attadog.
	👻 3:36pm egould: Vagifem, which is arguably redundant… That was hilarious. Thenk you Gus.
	3:37pm Matt from Springfield: Ask Ken how many crates of designer drugs we need to get the unit discount.
	3:37pm BH: ↳ BH @3:24 upon further investigation, I think the cat was stalking some dust
	👻 3:37pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Monetizing Your Misery" by "Gus Bodenheim" Just Hwhat the doctor ordered!
	3:37pm Listener Robert: ↳ egould @3:36 Who can say in these days of sex, I mean gender, uncertainty and fluidity?
	3:39pm tuskandhusk: i luv this station so much!
	3:39pm Listener Robert: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:37 Enough to make Bill Kelly cringe.
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dogs" by "The Who" 'Nother hot deep cut from The Who!
	3:44pm tonyb: Quite different from Dogs Pt 2.
	👻 3:45pm egould: ↳ tuskandhusk @3:23 Along the banks of the Willamette…
	3:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:43 And Irwin earned his commission from The Who - after playing "Glow Girl", I bought that from iTunes, and a bunch of other stuff from The Who Sell Out Super edition - "Faith in Something Bigger", interesting covers of "The Last Time"/"Under My Thumb" to support Mick and Keith after their arrest, various demos! And for the first time bought the entire album of Tommy!
	3:49pm The Oscar: My fringiest music opinion is that the Who should have retired after Tommy.
	3:51pm Irwin: ↳ The Oscar @3:49 How about following Who's Next? Thereafter I lost interest. "Who Are You?" is a dreadful song.
	3:53pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Back in the U.S.S.R. (instrumental backing track)... Love the piano on this. Paul? Geo Martin?
	3:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:51 Sometime after Who's Next - some would say Quadrophenia, though I haven't taken a dive into that one.
	3:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:53 George Martin was out for some of the White Album sessions - plus this is slamming rock piano, seems to be Paul's style. George Martin was used for "fancier" keyboarding.
	3:55pm Mortricia: ↳ jimphis @3:31 Thanks. I also found it on that Devil app, spotify. The Reason Why I'm Talking Shit. Listened to a chunk of the first track and that was enough for me to download the album and add it to my "jazzy jazz" playlist for yucks. =)
	3:56pm Hubig Pie: Like the Reign Or' Me song from Quadro.... but that 5.15 song gives me a headache.
	3:56pm The Oscar: ↳ Irwin @3:51 No disrespect to Who's Next (besides the fact that it's been overplayed, which isn't its fault), but I like the idea of reframing Tommy as the pinnacle of all their weird little operettas rather than as their departure into arena rock.
	3:57pm Erica from Cranford: ↳ Song: "Satellite" by "Guster" Love Guster. Thanks, Irwin.
	3:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @3:56 Tommy: double album/quadruple operetta
	👻 3:58pm xtrakrispy: Had to login to clicky-star this Guster song as well.
	3:58pm The Oscar: I will also entertain a scenario in which they came back to make Quadrophenia, but made the movie first and then the album.
	👻 3:59pm egould: ↳ The Oscar @3:56 Yeah but stuff from Who’s Next was remnant/leftovers from Tommy, I think. Maybe even sketches for Quadrophenia. There is a continuum.
	4:00pm tonyb: Wiki says Harrison played snare.
	4:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Back in the U.S.S.R. (instrumental backing track)... A The Beatles track from a The Beatles album session!
	4:04pm spodiodi: i'm available
	👻 4:05pm egould: ↳ spodiodi @4:04 Are you a celebrity? An influencer?
	4:05pm spodiodi: yes
	4:05pm Hubig Pie: ↳ egould @4:05 He's the third head on the right of Ghidorah,
	4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @3:59 'Who'sNext' was the ruins of Townshend's high concept 'Lifehouse' project - an attempt to put 'Tommy' behind them (for one thing). It collapsed totally around his ears. Outstanding, Monumental & completely Classic Rawk album, by any standard, of course.
	👻 4:06pm egould: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:05 Touché!
	4:07pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon! (Okay, 'nuff of the White Album. For now...)
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Back in the U.S.S.R. (instrumental backing track)... No Ringo, btw.
	4:07pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" This vegetarian is digging these Piggies.
	👻 4:08pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:06 I guess I need to research Lifehouse.
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @4:08 I blahblah on Who'sNext : www.facebook.com...
	4:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:07 Nor on "Dear Prudence". He had left the group temporarily to go to Sardinia. The opening hits on "Glass Onion" marks his first appearance (sequentially) on the White Album. He had just said on a birthday interview (7/7! Happy 83rd Ringo!!!) that "Yer Blues" was the first session he played on after returning; it was a great fun jam for everyone.
	4:09pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" reminds me of Ozark Mountain Daredevils -- If You Wanna Get to Heaven
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:07 Hope that 2 minute break from the White Album was long enough.... ;)
	👻 4:11pm DjLorraine: ↳ egould @4:05 I can vouch for Spodiodi. He has influenced me in a positive way and he is a celebrity in my world.
	4:11pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" Harmonica: Huey Lewis.
	4:12pm Carmichael: Phil
	4:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" Phil Lynott: the ORIGINAL "Afro Celt Sound System"!! 🤘
	4:14pm spodiodi: go Huey!
	👻 4:15pm egould: ↳ DjLorraine @4:11 Get a room, you two!
	4:15pm BH: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" okay, the Dirtbombs cover of this song really did try it's best to emulate this sound
	4:16pm spodiodi: ↳ DjLorraine @4:11 thanks, DjLorraine! see everyone? (and if that's still to much, maybe at least an influenza)
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @3:59 ...'Quadrophenia' (1973) similarly proved too unwieldily to Tour Live - until decades later. @ the time - people thot it sprawling & morose. I think it has aged very well (we have, perhaps, gotten all too used to those things... Put another way, Townshend was right & the Critics wrong.)
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:16 ...& TheWho Play Like Hell on it...
	4:17pm mr_donutsu: OMG, not this on WFMU. But to her credit, she’s made so much bank on this breakup.
	👻 4:17pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Vampire" by "Olivia Rodrigo" This is new. New music on the big WFMU.
	👻 4:18pm rrg: ↳ rrg @4:17 The problems of teenagers are SO interesting.
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:05 Each of Ghidorah's heads has a distinct personality in the Legendary brand Monsterverse...
	4:19pm mr_donutsu: This is like hit number six thanks to that dude. Hope he got cut in a little.
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rrg @4:18 ...it's my favorite Quadrophenia track...
	4:20pm spodiodi: too*
	4:20pm Juli: Hi Radio Bbs::::}
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @4:18 Endless fascinating, amirite?
	👻 4:22pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" I was thinking this cool like Mott the Hoople
	4:22pm tonyb: The Who worked Quadrophenia twice in NY. June 1974!! Trouble syncing tape backings, quad speakers back of Madison Square Garden, LOUD. Band hated shows. Best shows I’d seen up until then.
	4:22pm Carmichael: Bowie style vocals
	4:22pm Jeff Moore: ↳ rrg @4:17 Irwin can claim the New star on the playlist! Irwin's probably too blasé to do that any more after so many years of breaking songs unheard-before on 'FMU. I, on the other hand, go scrounging through the playlist after each of the few shows I do and look things up in the database to see which I can claim.
	4:23pm spodiodi: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:19 < this'n's a mix between INTP and ENTP
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @4:22 Peter Hammill is a "Bowie-style vocalist"? VdGG made their first album (1969) before Bowie had impact as anything but a novelty artist. That vocal style is Hammill's.
	4:25pm gnarly.gnarwhal: cool tunes. raise your hand if you hate socks.
	4:26pm Sad Left-Wing Incel Bastard: ↳ mr_donutsu @4:19 I mean, he got with O.R. so I’m not crying for him!
	👻 4:27pm egould: ↳ gnarly.gnarwhal @4:25 Raise your feet if you hate mittens.
	👻 4:27pm G: ↳ Irwin @4:25 AnachronismsRUs
	4:27pm Carmichael: ↳ Irwin @4:25 "The vocals on that song reminded me of Bowie." Does that re-phrasing work for ya?
	👻 4:28pm G: ↳ gnarly.gnarwhal @4:25 Socks hurt my feet, make my feet hot, and over time wear the hair off my lower legs. I only wear socks if I really really need to.
	4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like to say that Van der Graaf Generator are the Pretty Things to King Crimson's Rolling Stones ...it may be wildly off-base. But I like to say it.
	👻 4:30pm G: Mary Ellen's on too many (to her) annoying work calls today about various intellectual property lawsuits in progress. She and I work online from home about 3 feet apart on adjoining couches. So I had to leave the music off till 3 my time, 4 ET :-(
	4:30pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @4:27 Yes, correction noted for the record.
	4:30pm Laura L: ↳ Song: "Vanishing Twin Syndrome" by "Vanishing Twin" Vanishing twin syndrome occurs when an embryo detected during an ultrasound can’t be found on a future ultrasound. The embryo stops developing, and its tissue gets absorbed by the mother, or gestational parent, and the surviving embryo(s). This absorption process is completely harmless. (Cleveland Clinic)
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:30 Haz not headphones ??
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Laura L @4:30 ...Right to Life violated ...convict the surviving twin & the mother...
	4:33pm Rich in Washington: Love VdGG and solo Peter Hammill.
	👻 4:34pm egould: ↳ Laura L @4:30 So… you’re like a regular person, but with the extra strength of a baby inside of you?
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: Love Nadir’s Big Chance, which was slated to be a Van der Graaf comeback album but ended up being a solo Hammill record. Really good.
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @4:34 Joey Ramone was born with a twin coming out of his back.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:33 Voivod are VdGG fans btw.
	👻 4:35pm G: ↳ egould @4:08 Pete had been reading in the work of a kind of mystical Pakistani musicologist, and this had led him to the idea that some magical mystical thing would happen to audience, band, and music under certain conditions during a live performance. Tried it some, didn't work out as he hoped/expected, and he gave up. There was a plotline to Lifehouse -- "Behind Blue Eyes" (for ex.) was the villain's song... Yes, look into the Lifehouse project.
	4:36pm Sean: I dunno I've hit a stroller mom with my bike and i did not feel like I won.
	👻 4:36pm Alison Porchnik: OMG I tuned in just in time
	👻 4:37pm rrg: ↳ Alison Porchnik @4:36 Welcome!
	4:37pm Irwin: ↳ Alison Porchnik @4:36 It's Spooky Kismet!
	4:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:32 If a Chimera gets wasted... THE CHIMERA gets quite irate. Rated R. Coming Soon. Everything's Dark, In The Womb...
	4:37pm Borg9: ↳ Song: "Feelin' Bad" by "Spooky Tooth" Spooky Tube
	4:38pm Carmichael: Th' TOOTH
	👻 4:38pm G: ↳ Laura L @4:30 That's not as bad as "foetus in foetu"
	👻 4:38pm Alison Porchnik: This song is explaining how it makes me feel
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:37 I would say that Irwin's program is proof positive of Intelligent Design. Or tokenism. Or hustle. Something...
	4:40pm MrDeb: Fellow cyclist here who feels your pain and appreciates your Darwinian solution. Alternately, we could ban deliveries, demanding people leave their houses to procure food and whatever the hell else they require. Exceptions will be made for the disabled and the certifiably incredibly lazy.
	👻 4:40pm Alison Porchnik: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:39 ideological tokenism with a hustle
	👻 4:40pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:31 I get to listen to music so much every day that I haven't bothered with headphones. They also would hold me in place when actually I move around a fair amount to evitate boredom.
	4:40pm MrDeb: @Sean but how did you feel the second time?
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:40 It's called Bluetooths man. Go all Marconi with that shiz.
	4:42pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:41 Spooky Bluetooth?
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @4:42 If not Strange Attractors. Quantumphenia for your earz ...on the Market this Xmas...
	👻 4:44pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:41 I'm also concerned about harming my hearing with earbuds etc. When Walkmans first came out maybe 30 years ago, I used one during commutes and noticed my hearing had gotten worse after a couple of years. I want to be able to hear things for the duration of this mortal state, music or whatever. Mary Ellen's hearing is not great, for unknown reasons, and I see what a pain hearing aids are, even expensive ones.
	4:45pm spodiodi: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:37 olo
	4:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:39 Genres, I think.
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:44 Whereas in my old age I accept feeling somewhat punched up oneside uh muh head is worth having a Marshall speaker about ear height if the temptation to punish the neighbors with Gittar simply becomes irresistible ...to each their own...
	4:47pm ASpawnOfSatan: Don't think I've caught your show before Irwin, as I am an early AM listener. Ode to a Black Man was the bomb
	4:48pm Irwin: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:22 Actually I'm a lagging third in the Rodrigo sweepstakes.
	4:49pm Juli: I cannot make music alone currently !
	4:49pm Juli: Ask the Universe toguide ppl to me to start a band lol
	4:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Irwin @4:48 Third for Rodrigo, but first for that track!
	4:50pm Matt formerly jetboy: Greetings Irwin and all!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Juli @4:49 ...the Universe never did take my calls on that one...
	4:50pm Cletus: What? Cain't hear a a word yer typin. Jus' as well. Time to go brush my tooth.
	👻 4:52pm DjLorraine: ↳ Juli @4:49 Any details i should include in my request?
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DjLorraine @4:52 ...think it should def be @ least Three Wishes as bandmates go...
	4:53pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Balcony for Two" by "Molly Lewis" I love everything I've heard by Molly Lewis. I even loved her first EP when I accidentally played it in its entirety at 33-- it sounded like a Morricone soundtrack!
	4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Balcony for Two" by "Molly Lewis" The theme song to an imaginary indie film!
	4:53pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:49 It counts! I awarded myself 13 stars last show, for first to play a certain track. If the criterion were breaking a whole artist, I'd hardly ever win! And that would not be acceptable.
	👻 4:53pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:50 Sometimes you have to bend people persuasively to your will, to some extent. The universe seems to expect us to work through it, not just get given except by occasional good luck.
	4:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @4:53 That def has some resemblance! Not just the breezy Western motif but a dramatic one at that speed.
	4:54pm Brendan: Good music to mosey on down the trail to
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:53 Bands are Gangs with Artistic pretensions.
	4:56pm Irwin: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:53 I have Courtney Barnett bragging rights.
	👻 4:56pm egould: I’m gonna take a stroll through a park and get a cocktail. Thanks Irwin. Bye everybody!
	4:56pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Bi-Sectional" by "Bobby Hutcherson" Vibes are cool.
	4:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:56 Have fun egould!
	4:56pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Irwin @4:56 That's big!
	👻 4:56pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:55 And if you know enough band histories in some detail, it reinforces that old idea that there is in fact not too much loyalty/honor among gangs/thieves.
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:56 They are - euphemistically - Self-Policing...
	4:58pm Brendan: And the winner of Best Jazz Track About a Sofa is ....(opens enveope) ... this!
	5:04pm Jeff Moore: On Melanie: I knew about the rollerskates, but I didn't know / recall that it was she who wondered what they'd done to her song.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: Hmm, "Fred Lowery (2 November 1909 – 11 December 1984) was a blind professional whistler who recorded a No. 9 Billboard chart hit version of "The High and the Mighty" with conductor and arranger LeRoy Holmes."
	5:06pm Jeff Moore: For years, the only Prepared Piano I knew of was the Tack Piano.
	👻 5:06pm Listener Jonny in MA ... d-_-b: Enjoying the set, Irwin!
	5:07pm berbo: I think Nam Jun Paik prepared a few pianos in his time.
	5:07pm Aurwood: wfmu.orgie?
	5:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Moore @5:06 beach boys used some tack piano esp. on wild honey
	5:08pm Matt from Springfield: If you don't know what prepared piano is and who John Cage is...you're probably a new listener. Take a look online and you'll be none the wiser the next time these are played on WFMU. (Forecast for...today, on Irwin's show, at 5:32 p.m.)
	👻 5:08pm Listener Jonny in MA ............ d-_-b: For some reason, this Robbing Millions reminds me a lot of Broadcast. But not so shoegazer-ish.
	👻 5:09pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:57 That means the "bloody minded" ones (as Peter Gabriel put in referring without using his name to Tony Banks, decades after the fact) tend to win out mostly.
	👻 5:11pm DjLorraine: I have a fond memory of a swag package that was perfectly stuffed. I am not kidding! Memorable and i may never know how this wfmu miracle came to be. Blessings to the volunteers.
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: used to work at same theater w/ james urbaniak
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: he was good at beckett
	5:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:12 Does that mean you did "Waiting For Godot" together when things were going slow?
	5:15pm Bootsie: Just caught that bit about someone getting their eye torn out. What's that from?
	5:16pm eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for Phil Lynott
	5:16pm Irwin: ↳ Bootsie @5:15 Movie: Henry Fool.
	5:17pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Pick Me Up on Your Way Down" by "Charlie Walker" Great bit of Tonky Honk!!
	5:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:14 i was an itinerant set designer at said theater that did repertory, so we never really worked together we were sorta ven diagram-y
	5:21pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Peaceful" by "Georgie Fame" Kenny Rankin tune.
	5:21pm Carmichael: Wow, just realized this was Kenny Rankin.
	5:22pm Carmichael: I iwe you a Pepsi, Irwin. Also, didn't Helen Reddy have a hit with this?
	5:23pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @5:22 Please look it up so I can come on mic and sound like I know what I'm talking about.
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Want to Say Good-bye" by "Cut Worms" I'm certain this a Classic track I've heard since the early 1960s. Except it absolutely is not.
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:23 This guy has a real Gram Parsons vibe.
	5:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:23 It's imitation of such is the sincerest form of flattery..
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @5:24 That too.
	5:26pm alanSixº: Watsup irwin and all a yous
	5:27pm tom tom the pipers son: anyone having problems w/ pop up player?
	5:27pm joechrismorris: watsup youself
	5:27pm alanSixº: ↳ joechrismorris @5:27 Exactly
	5:28pm spodiodi: ↳ alanSixº @5:26 aloha, alanSixº
	5:28pm alanSixº: ↳ spodiodi @5:28 Hey spodes
	5:28pm Carmichael: ↳ Irwin @5:23 Yes, Reddy hit in 1973.
	5:30pm Bootsie: ↳ Irwin @5:16 Thanks Irwin!
	5:31pm Matt formerly jetboy: SOS suspended? I’m ok with thatt.
	👻 5:31pm DjLorraine: (Kem)
	5:33pm Matt from Springfield: This is what happens when one attempts a Summer of Seger without putting the proper infrastructure in place first.
	5:35pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" hahaha, leftover takeout. bon apetit!
	5:35pm Matt from Springfield: WhoCares™ - a condiment topping by Delbarton™ Industries, a good idea to douse DLT™ with and disguise the taste.
	5:36pm rf: ↳ Song: "Delbarton Leftover Takeout™" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gus said "nom nom"

	5:45pm Matt formerly jetboy: Let’s go for a real challenge - they should get Pete Seeger on the phone. That would be impressive.
	5:46pm Laura L: ↳ rrg @5:40 Agree--very good company to my relentless work (which I aggressively enjoy). Thanks, Irwin!
	5:46pm spodiodi: ↳ Matt formerly jetboy @5:45 i'd settle for a silver bullet
	5:47pm Carmichael: Ken and Andy are beautiful losers.
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Cryin' Before Ten" by "Claire Small" Big songs come in Small packages!
	5:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Far More Blue" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" I'm not especially a "jazzcat" myself, so Dave Brubeck is the one I always think of when "West Coast jazz" is mentioned.
	👻 5:52pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:52pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Far More Blue" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" Joe Morello is such a sublime drummer.

Listener comments!
	7/10 8:30pm Ferrell Katz: I am highist biddur agin.
	2:30pm Listener Robert: Sure, I'll remember next time my socks have a cough.
	2:58pm Laura L: "The Three-Headed Dragon is the threat of psychological disengagement caused by apathy, frustration, and cynicism ... it stalks the unsuspecting, leading to isolation in life and disengagement at work..." (So I read online, anyway.)
	👻 3:00pm G: and away, we go...
	3:01pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Irwin David chusid!!! How the heck are you sir
	3:01pm spodiodi: greetings, Irwin greetings, all
	3:01pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: It’s a hot steamy day here in the Bronx
	3:04pm Carmichael: ↳ Laura L @2:58 Must be true then. Heya Irwin.
	3:06pm SeaCreature: Irwin! Jazz Police! Members of the far-flung Bodenheim clan! Here for the music.
	3:08pm Bruce S.: I was gonna go but you're keeping me hear
	👻 3:08pm DjLorraine: ↳ Laura L @2:58 Utoh, i'm heat intolerant and i can't even get rid of a small cane toad.
	3:08pm Carmichael: ↳ SeaCreature @3:06 Finally, someone who isn't here for the cat avatars.
	3:10pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Radiation Vibe" by "Hem" what song does this sound like.... it's going to drive me nuts
	3:10pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Full Moon Power" by "Pearl Earl" i guess i meant this song
	3:10pm Irwin: ↳ spodiodi @3:10 It reminds you of "Radiation Vibe" by Fountains of Wayne.
	3:11pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "1974 Blues" by "Eddie Harris" Late to say it, but damn I love Eddie Harris. His live performance with Les McCann at one of those festivals was stellar. (And yeah, I'm late to mentioning this because of stupid work.)
	3:12pm Doug in MP: ↳ Irwin @3:10 The resemblance is uncanny
	3:12pm Irwin: ↳ Mortricia @3:11 Ever hear the album of Eddie Harris's between-tune chatter? It's hilarious and unairable.
	3:12pm spodiodi: ↳ Irwin @3:10 thanks, Irwin. it was actually the song before that one that caught mt attention
	3:13pm Bruce S.: ↳ Mortricia @3:11 Compared to What
	3:14pm Matt from Springfield: Jim Flora woodcut? Love those. HI Irwin and Chusidians!
	3:16pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:14 Not Flora.
	3:17pm Listening Out There: Floop…
	3:18pm chris_in_space: I friggin' love @Irwin's shows. Hello fellow denizens of freeform radio art.
	3:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:16 Fauna? (dodges tomatoes)
	3:23pm Holly Grail: Medieval Megafauna, for sure.
	3:23pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:21 No idea the artist. Found it online. Thanks to whoever sent the link. Memory fails.
	3:23pm tuskandhusk: tuned in from the end Oregon trail
	3:24pm BH: good afternoon, the youngest cat appears to be stalking something that he spotted on the floor down here
	3:25pm Sarah: Wow wish I could transport to the Oregon trail. This is a great set.
	3:28pm common: irwin, all
	👻 3:28pm chris in the redwoods: i am a warm chris. 78F in my office. hello, Irwin and everyone!
	3:29pm chris_in_space: ↳ chris in the redwoods @3:28 Also a warm Chris over here.
	3:29pm Andrea C: Hello Irwin and 'nites. Today I had a reality check when Ken played Jazz Police tracks and revealed its ancient roots. Silly me.
	3:29pm Mortricia: ↳ Irwin @3:12 I definitely need to find that!
	3:29pm Matt from Springfield: Gus will let us down, though he lets us down eloquently.
	3:29pm jimphis: “The reason why I’m talking s@#t!” It’s on Atlantic
	3:30pm Mortricia: ↳ Bruce S. @3:13 Yes that tune in particular is just so good I could listen to it on repeat for hours! =)
	3:31pm jimphis: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9p74hFDlLR-neqolC014ge6DdKgE6Cg9
	3:32pm Eugene R.: Any truth to the rumor that your contract with WFMU is based on the contract negotiated by Bendix A. Bodenheim for Rupert Mills of the Newark Peppers?
	👻 3:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Monetizing Your Misery" by "Gus Bodenheim" Mostly supposit.
	3:34pm Matt from Springfield: My uncle has an old Delbarton Miasma in his garage, next to the AMC Pacer.
	3:34pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Monetizing Your Misery" by "Gus Bodenheim" I'm taking one now called Farxiga. Who picked a name that sounds like a cross between farts and farcical?
	3:34pm RevWaldo: Unified! Not the same without the broken window SF
	👻 3:34pm egould: Trisumavit. Attadog.
	👻 3:36pm egould: Vagifem, which is arguably redundant… That was hilarious. Thenk you Gus.
	3:37pm Matt from Springfield: Ask Ken how many crates of designer drugs we need to get the unit discount.
	3:37pm BH: ↳ BH @3:24 upon further investigation, I think the cat was stalking some dust
	👻 3:37pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Monetizing Your Misery" by "Gus Bodenheim" Just Hwhat the doctor ordered!
	3:37pm Listener Robert: ↳ egould @3:36 Who can say in these days of sex, I mean gender, uncertainty and fluidity?
	3:39pm tuskandhusk: i luv this station so much!
	3:39pm Listener Robert: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:37 Enough to make Bill Kelly cringe.
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dogs" by "The Who" 'Nother hot deep cut from The Who!
	3:44pm tonyb: Quite different from Dogs Pt 2.
	👻 3:45pm egould: ↳ tuskandhusk @3:23 Along the banks of the Willamette…
	3:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:43 And Irwin earned his commission from The Who - after playing "Glow Girl", I bought that from iTunes, and a bunch of other stuff from The Who Sell Out Super edition - "Faith in Something Bigger", interesting covers of "The Last Time"/"Under My Thumb" to support Mick and Keith after their arrest, various demos! And for the first time bought the entire album of Tommy!
	3:49pm The Oscar: My fringiest music opinion is that the Who should have retired after Tommy.
	3:51pm Irwin: ↳ The Oscar @3:49 How about following Who's Next? Thereafter I lost interest. "Who Are You?" is a dreadful song.
	3:53pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Back in the U.S.S.R. (instrumental backing track)... Love the piano on this. Paul? Geo Martin?
	3:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:51 Sometime after Who's Next - some would say Quadrophenia, though I haven't taken a dive into that one.
	3:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @3:53 George Martin was out for some of the White Album sessions - plus this is slamming rock piano, seems to be Paul's style. George Martin was used for "fancier" keyboarding.
	3:55pm Mortricia: ↳ jimphis @3:31 Thanks. I also found it on that Devil app, spotify. The Reason Why I'm Talking Shit. Listened to a chunk of the first track and that was enough for me to download the album and add it to my "jazzy jazz" playlist for yucks. =)
	3:56pm Hubig Pie: Like the Reign Or' Me song from Quadro.... but that 5.15 song gives me a headache.
	3:56pm The Oscar: ↳ Irwin @3:51 No disrespect to Who's Next (besides the fact that it's been overplayed, which isn't its fault), but I like the idea of reframing Tommy as the pinnacle of all their weird little operettas rather than as their departure into arena rock.
	3:57pm Erica from Cranford: ↳ Song: "Satellite" by "Guster" Love Guster. Thanks, Irwin.
	3:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @3:56 Tommy: double album/quadruple operetta
	👻 3:58pm xtrakrispy: Had to login to clicky-star this Guster song as well.
	3:58pm The Oscar: I will also entertain a scenario in which they came back to make Quadrophenia, but made the movie first and then the album.
	👻 3:59pm egould: ↳ The Oscar @3:56 Yeah but stuff from Who’s Next was remnant/leftovers from Tommy, I think. Maybe even sketches for Quadrophenia. There is a continuum.
	4:00pm tonyb: Wiki says Harrison played snare.
	4:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Back in the U.S.S.R. (instrumental backing track)... A The Beatles track from a The Beatles album session!
	4:04pm spodiodi: i'm available
	👻 4:05pm egould: ↳ spodiodi @4:04 Are you a celebrity? An influencer?
	4:05pm spodiodi: yes
	4:05pm Hubig Pie: ↳ egould @4:05 He's the third head on the right of Ghidorah,
	4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @3:59 'Who'sNext' was the ruins of Townshend's high concept 'Lifehouse' project - an attempt to put 'Tommy' behind them (for one thing). It collapsed totally around his ears. Outstanding, Monumental & completely Classic Rawk album, by any standard, of course.
	👻 4:06pm egould: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:05 Touché!
	4:07pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon! (Okay, 'nuff of the White Album. For now...)
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Back in the U.S.S.R. (instrumental backing track)... No Ringo, btw.
	4:07pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" This vegetarian is digging these Piggies.
	👻 4:08pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:06 I guess I need to research Lifehouse.
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @4:08 I blahblah on Who'sNext : www.facebook.com...
	4:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:07 Nor on "Dear Prudence". He had left the group temporarily to go to Sardinia. The opening hits on "Glass Onion" marks his first appearance (sequentially) on the White Album. He had just said on a birthday interview (7/7! Happy 83rd Ringo!!!) that "Yer Blues" was the first session he played on after returning; it was a great fun jam for everyone.
	4:09pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" reminds me of Ozark Mountain Daredevils -- If You Wanna Get to Heaven
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:07 Hope that 2 minute break from the White Album was long enough.... ;)
	👻 4:11pm DjLorraine: ↳ egould @4:05 I can vouch for Spodiodi. He has influenced me in a positive way and he is a celebrity in my world.
	4:11pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" Harmonica: Huey Lewis.
	4:12pm Carmichael: Phil
	4:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" Phil Lynott: the ORIGINAL "Afro Celt Sound System"!! 🤘
	4:14pm spodiodi: go Huey!
	👻 4:15pm egould: ↳ DjLorraine @4:11 Get a room, you two!
	4:15pm BH: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" okay, the Dirtbombs cover of this song really did try it's best to emulate this sound
	4:16pm spodiodi: ↳ DjLorraine @4:11 thanks, DjLorraine! see everyone? (and if that's still to much, maybe at least an influenza)
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @3:59 ...'Quadrophenia' (1973) similarly proved too unwieldily to Tour Live - until decades later. @ the time - people thot it sprawling & morose. I think it has aged very well (we have, perhaps, gotten all too used to those things... Put another way, Townshend was right & the Critics wrong.)
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:16 ...& TheWho Play Like Hell on it...
	4:17pm mr_donutsu: OMG, not this on WFMU. But to her credit, she’s made so much bank on this breakup.
	👻 4:17pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Vampire" by "Olivia Rodrigo" This is new. New music on the big WFMU.
	👻 4:18pm rrg: ↳ rrg @4:17 The problems of teenagers are SO interesting.
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:05 Each of Ghidorah's heads has a distinct personality in the Legendary brand Monsterverse...
	4:19pm mr_donutsu: This is like hit number six thanks to that dude. Hope he got cut in a little.
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rrg @4:18 ...it's my favorite Quadrophenia track...
	4:20pm spodiodi: too*
	4:20pm Juli: Hi Radio Bbs::::}
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @4:18 Endless fascinating, amirite?
	👻 4:22pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Wanna Go to Heaven" by "The Piggies" I was thinking this cool like Mott the Hoople
	4:22pm tonyb: The Who worked Quadrophenia twice in NY. June 1974!! Trouble syncing tape backings, quad speakers back of Madison Square Garden, LOUD. Band hated shows. Best shows I’d seen up until then.
	4:22pm Carmichael: Bowie style vocals
	4:22pm Jeff Moore: ↳ rrg @4:17 Irwin can claim the New star on the playlist! Irwin's probably too blasé to do that any more after so many years of breaking songs unheard-before on 'FMU. I, on the other hand, go scrounging through the playlist after each of the few shows I do and look things up in the database to see which I can claim.
	4:23pm spodiodi: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:19 < this'n's a mix between INTP and ENTP
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @4:22 Peter Hammill is a "Bowie-style vocalist"? VdGG made their first album (1969) before Bowie had impact as anything but a novelty artist. That vocal style is Hammill's.
	4:25pm gnarly.gnarwhal: cool tunes. raise your hand if you hate socks.
	4:26pm Sad Left-Wing Incel Bastard: ↳ mr_donutsu @4:19 I mean, he got with O.R. so I’m not crying for him!
	👻 4:27pm egould: ↳ gnarly.gnarwhal @4:25 Raise your feet if you hate mittens.
	👻 4:27pm G: ↳ Irwin @4:25 AnachronismsRUs
	4:27pm Carmichael: ↳ Irwin @4:25 "The vocals on that song reminded me of Bowie." Does that re-phrasing work for ya?
	👻 4:28pm G: ↳ gnarly.gnarwhal @4:25 Socks hurt my feet, make my feet hot, and over time wear the hair off my lower legs. I only wear socks if I really really need to.
	4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like to say that Van der Graaf Generator are the Pretty Things to King Crimson's Rolling Stones ...it may be wildly off-base. But I like to say it.
	👻 4:30pm G: Mary Ellen's on too many (to her) annoying work calls today about various intellectual property lawsuits in progress. She and I work online from home about 3 feet apart on adjoining couches. So I had to leave the music off till 3 my time, 4 ET :-(
	4:30pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @4:27 Yes, correction noted for the record.
	4:30pm Laura L: ↳ Song: "Vanishing Twin Syndrome" by "Vanishing Twin" Vanishing twin syndrome occurs when an embryo detected during an ultrasound can’t be found on a future ultrasound. The embryo stops developing, and its tissue gets absorbed by the mother, or gestational parent, and the surviving embryo(s). This absorption process is completely harmless. (Cleveland Clinic)
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:30 Haz not headphones ??
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Laura L @4:30 ...Right to Life violated ...convict the surviving twin & the mother...
	4:33pm Rich in Washington: Love VdGG and solo Peter Hammill.
	👻 4:34pm egould: ↳ Laura L @4:30 So… you’re like a regular person, but with the extra strength of a baby inside of you?
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: Love Nadir’s Big Chance, which was slated to be a Van der Graaf comeback album but ended up being a solo Hammill record. Really good.
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @4:34 Joey Ramone was born with a twin coming out of his back.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:33 Voivod are VdGG fans btw.
	👻 4:35pm G: ↳ egould @4:08 Pete had been reading in the work of a kind of mystical Pakistani musicologist, and this had led him to the idea that some magical mystical thing would happen to audience, band, and music under certain conditions during a live performance. Tried it some, didn't work out as he hoped/expected, and he gave up. There was a plotline to Lifehouse -- "Behind Blue Eyes" (for ex.) was the villain's song... Yes, look into the Lifehouse project.
	4:36pm Sean: I dunno I've hit a stroller mom with my bike and i did not feel like I won.
	👻 4:36pm Alison Porchnik: OMG I tuned in just in time
	👻 4:37pm rrg: ↳ Alison Porchnik @4:36 Welcome!
	4:37pm Irwin: ↳ Alison Porchnik @4:36 It's Spooky Kismet!
	4:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:32 If a Chimera gets wasted... THE CHIMERA gets quite irate. Rated R. Coming Soon. Everything's Dark, In The Womb...
	4:37pm Borg9: ↳ Song: "Feelin' Bad" by "Spooky Tooth" Spooky Tube
	4:38pm Carmichael: Th' TOOTH
	👻 4:38pm G: ↳ Laura L @4:30 That's not as bad as "foetus in foetu"
	👻 4:38pm Alison Porchnik: This song is explaining how it makes me feel
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:37 I would say that Irwin's program is proof positive of Intelligent Design. Or tokenism. Or hustle. Something...
	4:40pm MrDeb: Fellow cyclist here who feels your pain and appreciates your Darwinian solution. Alternately, we could ban deliveries, demanding people leave their houses to procure food and whatever the hell else they require. Exceptions will be made for the disabled and the certifiably incredibly lazy.
	👻 4:40pm Alison Porchnik: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:39 ideological tokenism with a hustle
	👻 4:40pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:31 I get to listen to music so much every day that I haven't bothered with headphones. They also would hold me in place when actually I move around a fair amount to evitate boredom.
	4:40pm MrDeb: @Sean but how did you feel the second time?
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:40 It's called Bluetooths man. Go all Marconi with that shiz.
	4:42pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:41 Spooky Bluetooth?
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @4:42 If not Strange Attractors. Quantumphenia for your earz ...on the Market this Xmas...
	👻 4:44pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:41 I'm also concerned about harming my hearing with earbuds etc. When Walkmans first came out maybe 30 years ago, I used one during commutes and noticed my hearing had gotten worse after a couple of years. I want to be able to hear things for the duration of this mortal state, music or whatever. Mary Ellen's hearing is not great, for unknown reasons, and I see what a pain hearing aids are, even expensive ones.
	4:45pm spodiodi: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:37 olo
	4:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:39 Genres, I think.
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:44 Whereas in my old age I accept feeling somewhat punched up oneside uh muh head is worth having a Marshall speaker about ear height if the temptation to punish the neighbors with Gittar simply becomes irresistible ...to each their own...
	4:47pm ASpawnOfSatan: Don't think I've caught your show before Irwin, as I am an early AM listener. Ode to a Black Man was the bomb
	4:48pm Irwin: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:22 Actually I'm a lagging third in the Rodrigo sweepstakes.
	4:49pm Juli: I cannot make music alone currently !
	4:49pm Juli: Ask the Universe toguide ppl to me to start a band lol
	4:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Irwin @4:48 Third for Rodrigo, but first for that track!
	4:50pm Matt formerly jetboy: Greetings Irwin and all!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Juli @4:49 ...the Universe never did take my calls on that one...
	4:50pm Cletus: What? Cain't hear a a word yer typin. Jus' as well. Time to go brush my tooth.
	👻 4:52pm DjLorraine: ↳ Juli @4:49 Any details i should include in my request?
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DjLorraine @4:52 ...think it should def be @ least Three Wishes as bandmates go...
	4:53pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Balcony for Two" by "Molly Lewis" I love everything I've heard by Molly Lewis. I even loved her first EP when I accidentally played it in its entirety at 33-- it sounded like a Morricone soundtrack!
	4:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Balcony for Two" by "Molly Lewis" The theme song to an imaginary indie film!
	4:53pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:49 It counts! I awarded myself 13 stars last show, for first to play a certain track. If the criterion were breaking a whole artist, I'd hardly ever win! And that would not be acceptable.
	👻 4:53pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:50 Sometimes you have to bend people persuasively to your will, to some extent. The universe seems to expect us to work through it, not just get given except by occasional good luck.
	4:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ The Oscar @4:53 That def has some resemblance! Not just the breezy Western motif but a dramatic one at that speed.
	4:54pm Brendan: Good music to mosey on down the trail to
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:53 Bands are Gangs with Artistic pretensions.
	4:56pm Irwin: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:53 I have Courtney Barnett bragging rights.
	👻 4:56pm egould: I’m gonna take a stroll through a park and get a cocktail. Thanks Irwin. Bye everybody!
	4:56pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Bi-Sectional" by "Bobby Hutcherson" Vibes are cool.
	4:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:56 Have fun egould!
	4:56pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Irwin @4:56 That's big!
	👻 4:56pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:55 And if you know enough band histories in some detail, it reinforces that old idea that there is in fact not too much loyalty/honor among gangs/thieves.
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ G @4:56 They are - euphemistically - Self-Policing...
	4:58pm Brendan: And the winner of Best Jazz Track About a Sofa is ....(opens enveope) ... this!
	5:04pm Jeff Moore: On Melanie: I knew about the rollerskates, but I didn't know / recall that it was she who wondered what they'd done to her song.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: Hmm, "Fred Lowery (2 November 1909 – 11 December 1984) was a blind professional whistler who recorded a No. 9 Billboard chart hit version of "The High and the Mighty" with conductor and arranger LeRoy Holmes."
	5:06pm Jeff Moore: For years, the only Prepared Piano I knew of was the Tack Piano.
	👻 5:06pm Listener Jonny in MA ... d-_-b: Enjoying the set, Irwin!
	5:07pm berbo: I think Nam Jun Paik prepared a few pianos in his time.
	5:07pm Aurwood: wfmu.orgie?
	5:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Moore @5:06 beach boys used some tack piano esp. on wild honey
	5:08pm Matt from Springfield: If you don't know what prepared piano is and who John Cage is...you're probably a new listener. Take a look online and you'll be none the wiser the next time these are played on WFMU. (Forecast for...today, on Irwin's show, at 5:32 p.m.)
	👻 5:08pm Listener Jonny in MA ............ d-_-b: For some reason, this Robbing Millions reminds me a lot of Broadcast. But not so shoegazer-ish.
	👻 5:09pm G: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:57 That means the "bloody minded" ones (as Peter Gabriel put in referring without using his name to Tony Banks, decades after the fact) tend to win out mostly.
	👻 5:11pm DjLorraine: I have a fond memory of a swag package that was perfectly stuffed. I am not kidding! Memorable and i may never know how this wfmu miracle came to be. Blessings to the volunteers.
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: used to work at same theater w/ james urbaniak
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: he was good at beckett
	5:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:12 Does that mean you did "Waiting For Godot" together when things were going slow?
	5:15pm Bootsie: Just caught that bit about someone getting their eye torn out. What's that from?
	5:16pm eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for Phil Lynott
	5:16pm Irwin: ↳ Bootsie @5:15 Movie: Henry Fool.
	5:17pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Pick Me Up on Your Way Down" by "Charlie Walker" Great bit of Tonky Honk!!
	5:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:14 i was an itinerant set designer at said theater that did repertory, so we never really worked together we were sorta ven diagram-y
	5:21pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Peaceful" by "Georgie Fame" Kenny Rankin tune.
	5:21pm Carmichael: Wow, just realized this was Kenny Rankin.
	5:22pm Carmichael: I iwe you a Pepsi, Irwin. Also, didn't Helen Reddy have a hit with this?
	5:23pm Irwin: ↳ Carmichael @5:22 Please look it up so I can come on mic and sound like I know what I'm talking about.
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Want to Say Good-bye" by "Cut Worms" I'm certain this a Classic track I've heard since the early 1960s. Except it absolutely is not.
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:23 This guy has a real Gram Parsons vibe.
	5:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:23 It's imitation of such is the sincerest form of flattery..
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @5:24 That too.
	5:26pm alanSixº: Watsup irwin and all a yous
	5:27pm tom tom the pipers son: anyone having problems w/ pop up player?
	5:27pm joechrismorris: watsup youself
	5:27pm alanSixº: ↳ joechrismorris @5:27 Exactly

	5:30pm Bootsie: ↳ Irwin @5:16 Thanks Irwin!
	5:31pm Matt formerly jetboy: SOS suspended? I’m ok with thatt.
	👻 5:31pm DjLorraine: (Kem)
	5:33pm Matt from Springfield: This is what happens when one attempts a Summer of Seger without putting the proper infrastructure in place first.
	5:35pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Ode to a Black Man" by "Phil Lynott" hahaha, leftover takeout. bon apetit!
	5:35pm Matt from Springfield: WhoCares™ - a condiment topping by Delbarton™ Industries, a good idea to douse DLT™ with and disguise the taste.
	5:36pm rf: ↳ Song: "Delbarton Leftover Takeout™" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gus said "nom nom"
	5:37pm The Butterman: Someone call child protective services.
	5:37pm mcginniwa: Gus Bodenheim always breaks my mind
	5:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:21 No Flora...but, FAUNAS!?!?! OMG Duck and Cover!!!! 😲
	👻 5:40pm rrg: This set, this whole show, is relentlessly good. We've certainly gotten our money's worth today.
	5:42pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:40 Not just good -- RELENTLESSLY good. Aggressively assertive high quality.
	👻 5:42pm DjLorraine: Watch Michele get Robert Clark on the horn
	5:43pm Irwin: Andy and Ken should try to get BOB SEGER on the phone tonight.
	5:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @5:42 You're the IrWINNER! Never relent in the pursuit of good radio!! 🙂
	5:45pm Matt formerly jetboy: Let’s go for a real challenge - they should get Pete Seeger on the phone. That would be impressive.
	5:46pm Laura L: ↳ rrg @5:40 Agree--very good company to my relentless work (which I aggressively enjoy). Thanks, Irwin!
	5:46pm spodiodi: ↳ Matt formerly jetboy @5:45 i'd settle for a silver bullet
	5:47pm Carmichael: Ken and Andy are beautiful losers.
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Cryin' Before Ten" by "Claire Small" Big songs come in Small packages!
	5:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Far More Blue" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" I'm not especially a "jazzcat" myself, so Dave Brubeck is the one I always think of when "West Coast jazz" is mentioned.
	👻 5:52pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:52pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Far More Blue" by "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" Joe Morello is such a sublime drummer.
