Thanks for Tiger Lillies! Kermit and Miss Piggy... sounds like the listeners are thinking of the great Farmyard Filth album.... can we have some Farmyard Filth next week, Irwin?
  3:16pm
Lizardner Dave:

Is it too early to request some Amanda?
  3:16pm
hez344:

  3:18pm
BSI:

  3:19pm
AnAnonymousParty:

I'm guessin' this was part of a Valentine's Day gift to some lucky gal?
  3:20pm
Cecile:

  3:20pm
Cecile:

AMANDA

  3:20pm

The video for this is hilarious.
  3:25pm
Yakov Smirnov:

Who let me in here?
  3:25pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

that's really sumptin
  3:30pm
Cecile:

melt-banana, I love them.
  3:31pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I don't think you can melt a banana, but it sounds like a gooey treat. Topped with chocolate and whipped cream...
  3:32pm
Harry B.:

Come mister melty man, melty me banana...
  3:32pm
Hugo:

I was going to say exactly the same, but Cecile got there first. Seen them live and got the autograph of the singer!
  3:33pm
Foster Bananas:

Eat me, I'm as good as melted.
  3:34pm
BSI:

christ, i haven't heard that Kids of Widney High record for ages... this is a hilarious version...
  3:34pm
Cecile:

Irrwin, are you doing your Tony Coulter impression?
  3:35pm
Donovan:

Wee melt-able banana
is bound to be the very next phase...
  3:36pm
Parq:

I'm thinking this is his Scott Muni impression.
  3:37pm
GDF:

Amanda vs. Susan Boyle, now that's a contest!
  3:37pm
BSI:

He's that typewriter insect with the talking butt, inne?
  3:38pm
still b/p:

In a world...where Irwin almost sounds like a movie trailer guy --
  3:38pm
Marshall Stacks:

That's not good for your vocal cords, Irwin. Scott Muni coulda told you.
  3:39pm
ginger tim:

What're the odds of hearing some Saloom,Sinclair And The Mother Bear today??
  3:40pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Andrew Bird's records are so milquetoast, but he's riveting live.
  3:44pm
Cecile:

I wouldn't know. You can't get tickets to any of his shows around here - they sell right out.
  3:45pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

one more reason to live in flyover country...I saw him (free tix) in a half-empty theater two months ago.
  3:48pm
Cecile:

yeah, you never know what flies out on the coasts.
  3:55pm
just a guy:

@Dead Corporate Eyes
The problem though with that is that he won't necessarily be booked in your town again if turnout was that low.
  3:56pm
Cecile:

or a smaller, crummier venue
  4:11pm
bbell:

Irwin, you have a gift for playing music for a rainy day that leaves one feeling upbeat! My daughter is reviewing the Grizzly Bears CD for the school newspaper, and it was the polar opposite of your show:very bad mood rainy day.
  4:12pm
Aharon:

I didn't know I really, really wanted to hear all this music until I heard it.
  4:25pm
Unclear on the concept:

Can someone help me think of a new pseudonym?
  4:27pm
jeff-a-chusetts:

oh no, amanda.
  4:28pm
Georges:

UotC: How about "Lighting Set My Butt on Fire?
  4:29pm
Jess:

I can see how that could be a problem... It's interesting that the lightning fire was limited to Amanda's butt.
  4:29pm
still b/p:

new pseu. -- Uncle Aron.
We'll know.
  4:29pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Unclear on the concept: only you can come up with a handle for yourself. We don't know you...be creative. OR, what Georges said!
  4:32pm
Brucie:

Goodie. More AMANDA. Irwin, you are a giant.
  4:41pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Hot bolts of lightning setting my butt on fire,
While angry weasels ripped my flesh.
And staggering zombies are crunching my bones.

These are a few of my favorite things
  4:43pm
Amanda Fan Club:

How do you tell co-workers to shut up while "Lightning Set My Butt on Fire is playing?" Thank god for archives. Wish you could find her for an interview. Goddess!
  4:45pm
AnAnonymousParty:

What kind of idiot doesn't have the good sense to remain silent for a performance by Amanda?
  4:50pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

usually Amanda tunes generate some discussion around these here parts!
  4:50pm
Dave B:

who is "Amanda" and were can I find more of that stuff?

I snotted myself listening to it, and co-workers look at me like I'm the crazy one... They just don't get it.
  4:51pm
Amanda Fan Club:

I wonder if she knows how much we crave her.
  4:53pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Around here (as often is the case for WFMU), my co-workers stop what they are doing to ask "WTF is that?" before walking away silently shaking their heads.
  4:54pm
Bad Ronald:

AFC - I recommend politely asking in your best Amanda voice "would you please shut up?".

Yes DCE it appears we are rapt with Amandamania thanks to Irwin!
  4:54pm
Lizardner Dave:

MORE AMANDA! MORE AMANDA!
  4:58pm
Amanda's #1 Fan:

Aye, keep it coming, Irwin!
  4:59pm
Dave B:

Just curious, for my own amusement, is there somewhere I can download some of the amanda stuff?

was scraping the archives, and man- that stuff is the best. It'd make for nice interludes on my ipod...
  5:02pm
Amanda Fan Club:

Unfortunately the only DJ on FMU who has received the Amanda transmission is Irwin. Someone should start an "All Amanda all the time" time slot. I know she's on My Space and Facebook but I bet she doesn't know about us. Her last name is Whitt or Wheet.
  5:02pm
Brucie:

Desperate to buy, download, beg for Amanda tracks ... as always.

Sincerely,

Amanda-less in Tibet
  5:02pm
Cecile:

I love Amanda, but I like this Reginald Forsythe.
My husband eats up early swing and Raymond Scott with a spoon.
  5:04pm
Brucie:

I'd stop listening to WFMU to move to the All Amanda All The Time station WFAMANDA.org ... just joshing y' Irinw. We have you to thank for this mess!

Amanda-less in Saskatchewan
  5:09pm
Western Civilization:

Amanda is the last straw. I give up. You go figure out culture for the next two thousand years.
  5:12pm
Lizardner Dave:

http://www.myspace.com/memedacookie

Amanda's MySpace. Can't fine the FB.
  5:16pm
Dave B:

And just found this YouTube page as well.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Jerserf


God, I love the intarwebs.
  5:20pm
Dennis Miller:

Hey, get off my lawn, baby.
  5:22pm
Ike:

Still more coherent than GWB.
  5:23pm
Parq:

Exactly, Ike - than on his best day.
  5:25pm
Amanda Fan Club:

Jerserf is her brother. The first time Irwin played Amanda (4/29) he was in the comments section. So he would know how to let her know that we adore her so. Great hearing her in the background of this rant.
  5:25pm
Lizardner Dave:

LEAVE BRISTOL PALIN ALONE!
  5:27pm
Lizardner Dave:

And on the music end of things, I have a dream. A dream that Amanda will one day do a Corn Weenie remix. Yeah, I know she's probably 30 right now but how hard could it be to channel that voice? Especially if she smokes now?
  5:30pm
Greg from Detroit:

YAY! The Smoots!
  5:41pm
Parq:

This Lanois track is real pretty. Just saying.
  5:43pm
Laura L:

Was just thinking the same thing. Real pretty. Thanks, Irwin, that was nice.
  5:43pm
C:

is this the original circles? i've only heard the who version
  5:46pm
Irwin:

Pretty sure it's a Townshend tune. Sounds like a Shel Talmy production too.
  5:47pm
Jerserf:

Hey ya'll! My first live chat... Irwin thank yo SO MUCH for your support and kind e-mails... I see Amanda next week!
  5:48pm
C:

thanks. yeah, shel really nailed that sound.
  5:53pm
Parq:

Yee -haah!
  5:54pm
Lizardner Dave:

Jerserf, let us know what she thinks of her new found fame among Irwin's fans. Maybe Irwin can put it on the blog if he feels so inclined.
  5:55pm
Jerserf:

I blogged about Amanda a few years back... maybe this will answer a few questions above? She didn't believe me when I told her that she has fans... hehehe

Maybe I could ask her to sign on during one of Irwin's broadcasts and chat to you beautiful peoples...

  5:57pm
Cecile:

I bought that Nick Haefner CD on your recommendation, Irwin. Found it quite inexpensively.

Maybe Irwin could do a phone interview with Irwin?
  5:57pm
Jerserf:

p.s. The next time I go to my parents' house, I'm going to look for 6 cassettes that I still haven't digitized. The best record we ever did was called "Monumental Whopper Turmoil Jam." Although, "Worship Me" is up there.
  5:58pm
Cecile:

I mean, Amanda.
  5:59pm
Jerserf:

Irwin, let me know if you want her phone number. :)
  5:59pm
Amanda Fan Club:

Jersef -THAT WOULD BE SO COOOOL. Something to live for... I also like Concrete Nipples!
  5:59pm
Lizardner Dave:

That would be fantastic Jerserf.
  6:13pm
easy free people search:

There are two national Amanda Wheet listings in TN, and one in KY. May or may not be the same person.

I heard Thomas Rewrites the Beatles when you first aired it, and I'm listening to it again & seriously, love it. I wish I had an mp3 of it I could listen to over and over again.
