WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from August 6, 2014

Listener comments!
	3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: THOQAAMA ! - Yes We Blam.
	3:07pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Irwin. Hello, Rev.
	3:09pm fred: If it's not questionable, it's not aesthetics, it's PR. If it's not ambiguous, why bring morality into it?
	3:10pm Ike: From Twitter feed @BkPirateWatch late Mon. night, about Haitian pirate that interferes with FMU: "...some music in English on 90.9 pirate now, incl. profanity-laced hip-hop then Shania Twain (!), but DJ speaks Haitian Creole." "...Then back to hip-hop in French/Creole on 90.9 pirate... & now playing Greg Bates, a mainstream country artist (!!) (?)". Tweets failed to add #almostIrwinStyleFreeForm
	👻 3:12pm rrg: If this is the English 18-year-old singer, I think she spells her (stage) name "Birdy".
	3:12pm fred: @Ike: if Irwin does his mic break in Creole, the pirates might get confused into changing their frequency
	3:13pm Irwin: Birdie the band has been around for over a decade.
	👻 3:14pm rrg: Okay. You know, you hear one female voice, you've heard them all.
	3:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when they're gone Ike - ironically you'll be their major historian (course, they ain't blocking my internet)... - Wanna say Thanx ! Mr.Irwin again for the DrumSummit !; wouldn't mind even if got more technical - but that's my interest in this musicy thing...
	3:16pm Sem Chumbo: Commence to trade insults w/ the pirates in their own patois: imtranslator.net...
	3:18pm Sem Chumbo: i.e., "Desann WFMU la fréquence, pirates ou!'
	3:18pm i k e: These jerks have been around for years and years, RRN63. FCC needs sharper teeth. Much, much sharper.
	3:18pm autumn: meow, meow. (sneeze) ok, going back to sleep.
	3:19pm autumn: play some Claire. then I'll sleep.
	3:21pm fred: @Ike: be careful what you wish for, Ike. The FCC would be much more interested into giving WFMU's license to a religious/corporate donor than into going after broke pirates. Their teeth are sharp enough, they're just not using them in this case
	3:21pm Listening Out There: Will there be scratch and sniff cards to accompany the colonoscopy broadcast?
	3:23pm Michael: Hi Irwin and fellow travelers. Nice review of the new disc in the Times this week: tinyurl.com...
	3:23pm Robert: I haven't checked since, but when I junked my car in Nov. 2008, for about the preceding 2 yrs. there'd been an English-Caribbean (Jamaican or whatever) commercial pirate station on 91.3 whose QTH was somewhere around Burke Ave. in the Bronx. ISTR one person I recognized from WFMU who was featured on one program of this station's once. Hard to blame people for taking all the exposure they can get.
	3:25pm P-90: Hi DJ Irwin & commenteers. @ IKE sorry to hear there's just no relief from the interference form the unlicensed Haitian insurgents. I'm imagining what Joe Frank would make of the pirate radio problem. He'd do a show about tracking them down and confronting them face-to-face. Obsessively, but ultimately with hesitation and trepidation...
	3:26pm Irwin: Quark: Hawkwind cover.
	3:26pm Ted: Long Live Bob Calvert!
	3:28pm Irwin: Oxford comma added.
	3:29pm Ike: Fred, I know of no precedent of any such FCC behavior nor anything even remotely like it. Non-commercial stations are in much more danger from their owners (usually colleges selling to outside NPR chains or holy rollers) than from govt. And no, the FCC has few teeth for pirates. Rarely if ever even seizes equipment as far as I know -- or needs overly complicated arrangements w/local police to do so.
	3:30pm Ike: Robert, yep, heard that one from the G.W. Bridge in the past. Haven't gotten up there lately. OK, back to work, see y'all later.
	3:33pm Sem Chumbo: Long live the Oxford comma.
	3:33pm Ike: P.S. Fred, re: "broke pirates," no, they have $$$. Listen online to Radyo Independans (easily Googled) -- you'll hear ads. Tweet the above w/details if you can comprende the ads or any phone #s given out.
	3:35pm fred: @Ike: I'll trust you on this. I guess I just didn't think it through enough, thanks for correcting my mistake
	3:35pm P-90: The Haitian pirate station has an INTERNET STREAM?
	3:36pm Listening Out There: If I donate to a Haitian pirate station, do I get a tote bag?
	3:38pm P-90: Ha! I was about to ask what kind of premiums they have !
	3:40pm Dean: One meaning of the word "swag" is "A thief's plunder or booty."
	3:40pm Mike East: Lijadu Sisters track was great
	3:40pm P-90: Aaargh!
	3:42pm Listening Out There: DJs say the darndest things
	3:43pm P-90: The patient's family has long since been compensated and signed non-disclosure agreements
	3:45pm LP FM: @fred: What you've heard about happens more to noncommercial Low Power FM frequencies, on what used to be the Class D radio license. These small radio broadcasters are threatened with having their frequency revoked, if a corporate or churchy regular broadcaster challenges them to the FCC. WFMU is a full power station, so aren't at risk of that. And like Ike said, regular noncommercial stations are most threatened by their owners selling them--Ken F. and Auricle Communications keep us safe from that outcome.
	3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Haiti of course the one nation where the slaves won a revolt - hence no one else would do business w/ 'em - hence the poorest nation in the WesternHemisphere - hence bound to have some dif. attitudes...not saying the pirates ain't a pain...
	👻 3:47pm rrg: Irwin's careful attention to diacriticals warrants mention and praise.
	3:47pm Irwin: www.grandmalofi.is
	3:48pm P-90: Viva Auricle! @LP FM So are you saying that if FMU were to pursue a complaint about infringement on its licensed frequency, the FCC might follow-up?
	👻 3:48pm rrg: Another resource to mine. It's a large world.
	3:49pm Irwin: Sigrídur has recorded over 650 songs. Started when she was 70.
	3:51pm Phillip In Brookkyn: Afternoon Irwin:) I am awaiting the joe frank episode
	3:51pm fred: @LP FM: Thanks for the clarification, I must admit the important distinctions in those regulations are confusing to me as a foreigner. But I'm learning, thanks to you and Ike
	3:52pm LP FM: @P-90: I doubt WFMU has the multimillion dollar clout and political connections Clear Channel/Infinity/religious networks have to bully smaller outfits with the FCC's back. In fact, IIRC being on the bullied end of a WFUV frequency fight was a major cause of our long-running feud with them (Boo! Hisss!)
	3:52pm Laura L: Like the grandma songs--I see a mention on that site that there's a film too.
	👻 3:53pm rrg: I will always hate WFUV because of that. Fuck them.
	3:54pm LP FM: No problem fred!
	3:58pm P-90: What Ike said about the Feds having to coordinate seizures, prosecutions, etc. with local law enforcement makes sense too; that might support the idea that you've gotta have a lot of commercial clout for it to be worth going after a local bootlegger on your behalf..?
	4:01pm Robert: It takes some doing just to gather evidence to make your case you're being interfered with. Before the turn of the century, there was another, less bothersome pirate on, I don't remember, maybe exactly 91.1 operating only at intervals. As close as I could determine from driving around, it was somewhere around the NE corner of Parkchester -- Castle Hill & Tremont Aves. -- probably several stories up with vert. polariz'n. Ken appreciated the info but explained they didn't have the resources to pursue it, because of what it takes.
	4:03pm Phillip In Brookkyn: YAY!!! Joe Frank! Joe Frank! Joe Frank:-)
	4:04pm dc waters: The ukulele's had more than its fair share of the limelight lately, especially in the incapable hands of "cute quirky girls." I say it's time to bid aloha to the uke on the world stage.
	4:04pm Phillip In Brookkyn: Shame seven second delay is a repeat:-( my afternoon would be complete:-(
	4:04pm P-90: Oh, sure, like Joe ever drove an 18-wheeler with a Confederate flag on the antenna...
	4:07pm Robert: Please, dc waters, don't give up on the ukulele until you've listened to some Poopy Lungstuffing.
	👻 4:10pm AnAnonymousParty: This story sounds fishy to me.
	4:20pm spoot: Yahoozis?
	👻 4:20pm AnAnonymousParty: Hey, it's hard to walk in a mermaid costume, let me tell ya.
	4:22pm Sem Chumbo: Hermetically sealed bed chamber: I could get behind that.
	4:24pm Sem Chumbo: That's a lot of tumblers. We like odd numbers.
	4:25pm Phillip In Brookkyn: It's near impossible to walk at all when you have a minor tear in your Achilles' tendon
	4:27pm Phillip In Brookkyn: This year is never gonna heal:-(
	4:28pm Phillip In Brookkyn: But in the good side:) they made a tv show from the movie "Constantine" I can't wait to see it
	4:28pm spoot: hah!
	4:30pm common: wow
	4:37pm P-90: Ha! Joe goes Steven king one better on "hidden in plain sight" escape holes
	4:44pm Mike East: Irwin, thanks again for bringing the Joe Frank
	4:53pm Jack: Constantine TV show? but no Keanu?
	4:54pm Irwin: Lots more episodes in the vault, Mike.
	4:56pm Mike East: I could listen to the same ones over and over, but its great to know there's still a lot that I haven't heard. wnyc played the Garden of Eden episode on Sunday which is a favorite of mine.
	4:59pm P-90: Thanks Irwin!
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...one might keep an eye on KCRW's 'Unfictional' for new ones : feeds.kcrw.com... ...& even other interesting things there...
	5:13pm Phillip in Brooklyn: @Jack yeah I know the actor they picked out doesn't fit the part, but what can you do:-(
	5:22pm Irwin: This Al Eide song may never end. You're caught in a circle!
	5:24pm Alison Porchnik: I'd so much rather be caught in a rhomboid.
	5:24pm Laura L: Seems kind of boxed in too.
	5:29pm P-90: OK I confess I like this. Maybe a lot.
	👻 5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Talk about weather alerts. I drove though downtown Poughkeepsie about two hours ago and there was a heavy downpour that included pea-sized hail. Happily, the sun is out again now.
	5:32pm dale: was outside cutting wood and listening to joe frank. it had some great moments in it. ken from HP - i heard some serious thunderboomers over here in middletown - sullivan county always gets slammed.
	5:32pm glenn: i've come to realize i have a lot in common with madonna. she can't sing, dance or act, and neither can i.
	5:36pm mg: oh, glenn. what a fresh trope. =P
	5:36pm dale: she probably looks better failing at those things than you glenn.
	5:38pm Crap Judges: We'll be the judges of that.
	5:38pm steve: its not the SSD where Andy has a joke translated to spanish and tries to read it to spanish speakers himself is it?
	5:39pm Irwin: If anyone knows the groups and/or titles for these tracks, please advise. I could not figure it out from the grainy j-card posted online. This is a legendary Union Pole cassette.
	5:40pm Glenn =Madonna talent judges: Again, this is OUR job.
	5:41pm Phillip in Brooklyn: Oh crap! These are good songs:( and you don't know the names
	5:41pm Irwin: Phil: You can DL these for free on the Union Pole site. But ltd info provided.
	5:42pm dale: yeah, but that vocal was painful.
	5:42pm Brendan: I almost fell over just now hearing my very obscure band, Jupiteria, on wfmu. Awesome! Thanks Irwin
	5:42pm Irwin: unionpole.com... Actually not free - name yr price.
	5:43pm Phillip in Brooklyn: Union pole site? Never heard of if:-(
	5:43pm glenn: she DOES have a much better diastema than i do, i'll give her that.
	5:43pm Irwin: JUPTERIA!!!! I thought it said "Supeteria." Thx Brendan. What was the title?
	👻 5:43pm rrg: Track 2 might be "Jupiteria" (but whether artist or title I can't tell).
	5:43pm Dean: A little help here: http://unionpoletapes.blogspot.com/2010/08/up01-various-artists-legend-of-ross_7763.html
	👻 5:44pm rrg: Dean helps again!
	5:44pm Listening Out There: The trumpet is a difficult instrument to play, many agree...
	5:45pm Phillip in Brooklyn: I can't click on that link I'm on the iPod touch app:-(
	5:45pm dale: hey brendan - i loved that vocal!
	👻 5:45pm rrg: So track 2 is "Shut Them Off" by Jupiteria, and track 4 is "House of Thrills" by Conniption.
	5:46pm Irwin: Thanks, Dino.
	👻 5:46pm rrg: None of us can click on that link because Dean (if that is indeed his real name) is NOT LOGGED IN.
	5:47pm Dean: And let me commend Jupiteria for its splendid name. I'd also like its reciprocal, Cafiter. Yeah, it's my real name. No, I'm not logged in. That's the key to activating HTML?
	👻 5:48pm rrg: No, just things that look like links become actual clickable links.
	5:49pm Brendan: Irwin, that's a good question... It's been a long time.. Maybe "Autopilot"? We recorded 5 songs ever, and that is the only one I don't have the name of
	5:50pm Dean: Have I been mistaken about WFMU's comments login? I have assumed it's linked to Facebook, but I've never heard of Facebook and I'm pretty sure I never will.
	5:50pm Brendan: Ha Dale! It has a certain charm, but not a lot of intonation. :)
	5:50pm dale: my favorite lou christie tune is 'diary,' not to be confused with bread's 'diary.' this is pretty late
	👻 5:50pm rrg: It's not linked to Facebook unless you link it yourself.
	5:51pm Irwin: This tune is actually the Millennium's "There Is Nothing More to Say" with new lyrics by Bobb Goldsteinn.
	5:51pm dale: brendan - it's everything i love about fmu, so it was perfect!
	5:51pm Dean: Facebook? What's that?
	👻 5:52pm rrg: Ask your kids.
	5:53pm dale: around 2000 i saw lou christie on a pbs oldies concert. he was thin and toned and tanned and wearing a skin tight silver lame jumpsuit with all his own hair and teeth. he made a point of asking if everyone thought he'd be bald and fat
	5:54pm The Web: Facebook is actually for middleaged and elderly people sharing kid pics.. The younguns want some breathing space and privacy, and have moved on to instagram etc
	5:58pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin, that was a fine show--as usual.
	👻 5:58pm rrg: What she said.
	5:58pm Dean: My kids are both sub-10. (I'm old enough to be their grandfather with years to spare.) The eldest is just beginning to get 'net concepts like wi-fi, cloud storage, etc. But they're too young for social media and all that.
	5:59pm P-90: Have a great week, DJ Irwin
	11:04pm david: Hey there, if anybody is interested, the Grandma Lo-Fi cassette is available from Hornbuckle Records: http://hornbucklerecords.com/#HORN009 Thanks for playing it, Irwin!

	4:28pm spoot: hah!
	4:30pm common: wow
	4:37pm P-90: Ha! Joe goes Steven king one better on "hidden in plain sight" escape holes
	4:44pm Mike East: Irwin, thanks again for bringing the Joe Frank
	4:53pm Jack: Constantine TV show? but no Keanu?
	4:54pm Irwin: Lots more episodes in the vault, Mike.
	4:56pm Mike East: I could listen to the same ones over and over, but its great to know there's still a lot that I haven't heard. wnyc played the Garden of Eden episode on Sunday which is a favorite of mine.
	4:59pm P-90: Thanks Irwin!
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...one might keep an eye on KCRW's 'Unfictional' for new ones : feeds.kcrw.com... ...& even other interesting things there...
	5:13pm Phillip in Brooklyn: @Jack yeah I know the actor they picked out doesn't fit the part, but what can you do:-(
	5:22pm Irwin: This Al Eide song may never end. You're caught in a circle!
	5:24pm Alison Porchnik: I'd so much rather be caught in a rhomboid.
	5:24pm Laura L: Seems kind of boxed in too.
	5:29pm P-90: OK I confess I like this. Maybe a lot.
	👻 5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Talk about weather alerts. I drove though downtown Poughkeepsie about two hours ago and there was a heavy downpour that included pea-sized hail. Happily, the sun is out again now.
	5:32pm dale: was outside cutting wood and listening to joe frank. it had some great moments in it. ken from HP - i heard some serious thunderboomers over here in middletown - sullivan county always gets slammed.
	5:32pm glenn: i've come to realize i have a lot in common with madonna. she can't sing, dance or act, and neither can i.
	5:36pm mg: oh, glenn. what a fresh trope. =P
	5:36pm dale: she probably looks better failing at those things than you glenn.
	5:38pm Crap Judges: We'll be the judges of that.
	5:38pm steve: its not the SSD where Andy has a joke translated to spanish and tries to read it to spanish speakers himself is it?
	5:39pm Irwin: If anyone knows the groups and/or titles for these tracks, please advise. I could not figure it out from the grainy j-card posted online. This is a legendary Union Pole cassette.
	5:40pm Glenn =Madonna talent judges: Again, this is OUR job.
	5:41pm Phillip in Brooklyn: Oh crap! These are good songs:( and you don't know the names
	5:41pm Irwin: Phil: You can DL these for free on the Union Pole site. But ltd info provided.
	5:42pm dale: yeah, but that vocal was painful.
	5:42pm Brendan: I almost fell over just now hearing my very obscure band, Jupiteria, on wfmu. Awesome! Thanks Irwin
	5:42pm Irwin: unionpole.com... Actually not free - name yr price.
	5:43pm Phillip in Brooklyn: Union pole site? Never heard of if:-(
	5:43pm glenn: she DOES have a much better diastema than i do, i'll give her that.
	5:43pm Irwin: JUPTERIA!!!! I thought it said "Supeteria." Thx Brendan. What was the title?
	👻 5:43pm rrg: Track 2 might be "Jupiteria" (but whether artist or title I can't tell).
	5:43pm Dean: A little help here: http://unionpoletapes.blogspot.com/2010/08/up01-various-artists-legend-of-ross_7763.html
	👻 5:44pm rrg: Dean helps again!
	5:44pm Listening Out There: The trumpet is a difficult instrument to play, many agree...
	5:45pm Phillip in Brooklyn: I can't click on that link I'm on the iPod touch app:-(
	5:45pm dale: hey brendan - i loved that vocal!
	👻 5:45pm rrg: So track 2 is "Shut Them Off" by Jupiteria, and track 4 is "House of Thrills" by Conniption.
	5:46pm Irwin: Thanks, Dino.
	👻 5:46pm rrg: None of us can click on that link because Dean (if that is indeed his real name) is NOT LOGGED IN.
	5:47pm Dean: And let me commend Jupiteria for its splendid name. I'd also like its reciprocal, Cafiter. Yeah, it's my real name. No, I'm not logged in. That's the key to activating HTML?
	👻 5:48pm rrg: No, just things that look like links become actual clickable links.
	5:49pm Brendan: Irwin, that's a good question... It's been a long time.. Maybe "Autopilot"? We recorded 5 songs ever, and that is the only one I don't have the name of
	5:50pm Dean: Have I been mistaken about WFMU's comments login? I have assumed it's linked to Facebook, but I've never heard of Facebook and I'm pretty sure I never will.
	5:50pm Brendan: Ha Dale! It has a certain charm, but not a lot of intonation. :)
	5:50pm dale: my favorite lou christie tune is 'diary,' not to be confused with bread's 'diary.' this is pretty late
	👻 5:50pm rrg: It's not linked to Facebook unless you link it yourself.
	5:51pm Irwin: This tune is actually the Millennium's "There Is Nothing More to Say" with new lyrics by Bobb Goldsteinn.
	5:51pm dale: brendan - it's everything i love about fmu, so it was perfect!
	5:51pm Dean: Facebook? What's that?
	👻 5:52pm rrg: Ask your kids.
	5:53pm dale: around 2000 i saw lou christie on a pbs oldies concert. he was thin and toned and tanned and wearing a skin tight silver lame jumpsuit with all his own hair and teeth. he made a point of asking if everyone thought he'd be bald and fat
	5:54pm The Web: Facebook is actually for middleaged and elderly people sharing kid pics.. The younguns want some breathing space and privacy, and have moved on to instagram etc
	5:58pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin, that was a fine show--as usual.
	👻 5:58pm rrg: What she said.
	5:58pm Dean: My kids are both sub-10. (I'm old enough to be their grandfather with years to spare.) The eldest is just beginning to get 'net concepts like wi-fi, cloud storage, etc. But they're too young for social media and all that.
	5:59pm P-90: Have a great week, DJ Irwin
	11:04pm david: Hey there, if anybody is interested, the Grandma Lo-Fi cassette is available from Hornbuckle Records: http://hornbucklerecords.com/#HORN009 Thanks for playing it, Irwin!
