WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from April 20, 2016

Listener comments!
	👻 3:04pm rrg: All right. If no one else will speak up, i will.
	3:05pm Laura L: Springtime for dinos! Hello, Irwin.
	3:06pm Michael 98145: Mesozoic Era Greetings
	3:08pm Michael: Try to confine those critters to Washington Street.
	3:12pm Mike East: Holy hell, I love this Krokofant! Party!
	3:13pm Parq: Looks like some boomer has fond memories of a childhood in New York. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...
	3:15pm Whooda: Parq, I thought those were NY bedbugs!
	3:18pm Polyus: I always wanna start singing Pictures of City by King Crimson to that last riff of that Krokofant song.
	3:19pm Whooda: Joe has GIRL TROUBLE? Who would of guessed !!!
	3:21pm Irwin: Today's show synopsis: After Joe breaks up with his trophy girlfriend, an actress named Kate, he explains how he got involved with Kate in the first place. He then discloses unsavory incidents with other women that foreshadowed why his relationship with Kate was doomed, and invites listeners to pass judgment on his creepy behavior.
	👻 3:28pm rrg: Come on, this ain't no "cartoon music".
	3:29pm Lewis: my first experience with Joe Frank followed falling asleep with radio on and then becoming conscious of this very weird story (along the lines of today's plot) being told (in my dreams?...) I highly recommend near dream state listening, but that first time will be hard to replicate...
	3:29pm Webhamster Henry: I dunno - I'd kind of prefer a Muzak treatment of Zappa.
	3:30pm Laura L: sounds like music experiencing an identity crisis.
	3:34pm Lyle: Stefan Scheib. A curious little man. Stood around 4' 11" as I recall. Prince tried to get him in the New Power Generation back in the day. I know, because I was IN the NPG for a short time, though they kept me backstage and out of sight due to my advancing age. Scheib refused to play with Prince because TAFKAP was too tall. Instead, Scheib joined up with Ready For The World, which further enraged the purple one. Scheib bottomed out in the early oughts, running monitors for Puddle of Mudd before he bailed out of the business completely. At least, this is what I've been told. I may be wrong. Stories are fluid in the music business. Truth is relative.
	3:36pm Webhamster Henry: Fresh Shaggs!
	3:36pm TonyR: Record Store Day Shaggs! No standing in line!
	3:37pm TonyR: I'mma favorite that sweet Shaggs stuff.
	3:38pm JoeChrisMorris: oh no! new Shaggs! the world is truly ending!
	3:39pm Parq: Didn't one of the original Shaggs die? Isn't that who "Banana Butt" is about?
	👻 3:40pm Alison Porchnik: Lyle, wasn't Stefan Scheib the estranged son of auto paint and body Earl Scheib?
	3:42pm Irwin: Lyle: Your recollection is accurate. Did you write the wiki entry on Scheib? He started with a horn band called Creature Comforts in the early '70s.
	3:44pm Lyle: That's an urban myth, Alison. Wholly untrue. Earl Scheib is, however, the inspiration of Gene Chandler's Duke of Earl song. Evidently Earl Scheib's first auto paint job (then $9.99) was Chandler's 1962 Pontiac Tempest.
	3:49pm Lyle: Ha! Creature Comforts. That's another story entirely. Originally fronted by Carly Simon, who promptly bailed and joined Elephant's Memory. Creature Comforts soldiered on for another few years until they teamed up with Barry DeVorzon to write "Theme From Swit," an homage to the MASH actress who was popular at that time. Rhythm Heritage stepped in and changed the song to Theme from SWAT, and Creature Comforts didn't make a dime for their efforts. They disbanded days later after a physical altercation in a Denny's parking lot in Encino.
	3:53pm Irwin: Nunnally Parker of Terrible Trouble was in Creature Comforts for about three minutes. There were body odor issues, acc. to a 1989 retrospective interview in Rolling Stone.
	3:54pm Mike: Nice Caravan. Max charles n Duke
	3:58pm K Wilde: Trio - greatest song ever!
	3:58pm Whooda: Lyle, that is fabulous trivia about Earl Sheib and his famous (infamous) car painting services. Incredible coincidental this morning I was running questions to myself about "Duke of Earl" song, specifically as free association between Duke of Earl, Earl of Sandwich and Sandwich of the month. Too weird to be real.
	3:59pm Lyle: The funny thing, Irwin, is that the odor issues were not "body" related, but rather stemmed from Parker's profuse use of Hai Karate - from what I've been told.
	4:00pm Whooda: I didn't even mention my dad was a car painter and my first car was a Pontiac Tempest
	👻 4:02pm βrian: Ooh, I remember that perfume. It was heinous.
	4:04pm Carmichael: You're on a Caravan kick lately, Irwin. I love it!
	👻 4:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Anyone joining the pool for what Frank will be describing between 4:20 & 4:21? I'm guessing a hot, dusty road that leads down the hill to an ocean beach.
	4:11pm Whooda: Your on KFHP! I say he mentions Ice Cream.
	4:14pm Irwin: Can't recall. Maybe he'll be throwing up in a bathroom stall at LAX.
	4:20pm Anonymous Coward: I was really hoping that crazy laugh would have carried through to 4:20
	4:22pm Whooda: Didn't mention ice cream but the fog around the Golden Gate does looks a lot like soft serve....
	4:29pm Listener Robert: Lyle, that must be why they advertised, "Be careful how you use it."
	4:30pm Whooda: I received the discount pass to the WFMU record fair, too bad I am in WV. But used to life in CA where there were Tower Records...as this Boing Boing article explains boingboing.net...
	👻 4:41pm βrian: Another 40 minutes until 4:20 CST.
	4:43pm Mike East: This is my favorite Joe Frank bed music...so relaxing.
	4:46pm Carmichael: Whooda, you're a long way from CA! How did you end up there?
	4:49pm Whooda: Carnichael, Being born in Oklahoma renders one's thoughts focused on getting away and CA always promised the most...of EVERYTHING Oklahoma lacks. I was a born artist and CA was the Holy Grail for me. And CA was gracious to allow me to follow my dreams and succeed in them. I left in 1997
	4:50pm Zach: Does anyone know of a Joe Frank bit that has a some guy beginning, "I feel crazy as hell all the time..." and then he goes on to enumerate the ways in which everyone is constantly being bombarded by all kinds of thoughts, completely beyond their control
	4:51pm Zach: I feel like it was one of these Karma for Dollars bits
	4:53pm Marc15: "Kate" sounds as evil as my ex-boyfriend
	5:00pm Lyle: There were lots of colognes we favored back then. I liked Canoe. I remember the night Tommy Dorsey made the switch from Old Spice to British Sterling. He was sure something good was bound to happen, yet, there he was at 2am back at the Hotel Chesterfield, watching Sea Hunt and knocking back a bottle of Kentucky Gentleman. The music life is often not as glamorous as one might think.
	👻 5:02pm rrg: Time for a station ID.
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh geez man - your porch...you got dinosaurs...that's rough man...
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	5:18pm ScottC: Fred The Oyster! I wonder if this is a reference to The Goon Show?
	5:18pm Unlikely Guest: Went to wikipedia to search the meaning of AOR Rock, then clicked to Freeform radio format, and then to WFMU, and I am here!
	5:20pm Irwin: Welcome, Unlikely. Today's programming is improbable, slightly inexplicable, ultimately acceptable.
	5:20pm Amplitude Modulation: AOR - Adult Oriented Rock
	👻 5:20pm rrg: As always.
	5:23pm TonyR: Joe Frank, THEN more Irwin? Okay! I need to randomly walk around WFMU more...
	5:24pm Unlikely Guest: AM: wiki says it is album-oriented rock.
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whereas Middle of the Road is good for music demographics or age differentials...
	5:25pm Irwin: Mr. Album is playing right now.
	5:27pm TonyR: Non-swag-for-life pledgers used to get little hearts. No mo'?
	👻 5:27pm rrg: Bastards!
	5:28pm Amplitude Modulation: Unlikely, you are right. My mistake.
	5:29pm L.S. Dunleavy: Swallow the Sun an acid reference?
	5:30pm 67tele: wasnt there a song after the Cup of Tea and before Swallow the Sun? just curious what the name of it was
	5:30pm TonyR: Pharma jingle.
	5:30pm Listening Out There: "Swallow the Son" is a reference to infanticide.
	5:32pm Cliff: No, that's just silly. It's a reference to the Finnish heavy metal band that formed 33 years later.
	5:32pm TonyR: Oh, I get it. 2016 'thon data not entered yet.
	5:34pm TonyR: I'm looking for Mr. Album Right Now.
	5:35pm Kat in Chicago: @67tele I wondered that too, thought maybe it was Deerhunter
	👻 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Fat White Family is not being broadcast over the air, right?
	5:41pm Irwin: Dunno, KFHP. Do they drop a lot of F-bombs?
	5:45pm Fredericks: Hey, now this is something!
	5:47pm Lyle: Boy, this Jaleel Shaw reminds me a lot of Boots Randolph. Boots was all "Yakkety" when the public was listening, but behind closed doors he was wildly experimental and steeped in the best aspects Pharoah Sanders and Rollie Kirk. He liked to smoke bananas, I'm told.
	5:49pm Fredericks: Lyle, are there tapes to prove it? I'm not buying. Boots? No way.
	5:50pm Cliff: Sounds plausible to me.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Johnathan Blake on drums on the Jaleel Shaw whom I've never heard of & he is a total badass.
	5:53pm Unlikely Guest: From jazz to ABBA? On the other hand why not. I am new here.
	👻 5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Irwin - I forget which of the groups are broadcast. I guess we'll see.
	5:55pm Egdip: Great show, Irwin. Best Joe Frank ever - and your musical selections were exemplary!
	👻 5:56pm rrg: The only radio station in the world that will play Abba followed by The Shaggs. Maybe the only program on this radio station that will do that.
	5:56pm Listening Out There: The Shaggs are in tune in most of this. Unheard of.
	👻 5:57pm rrg: Yes, a fine program. Thanks. Now I can go eat dinner and watch game shows.
