Listener comments!

  3:02pm
Garrison:

The show actually isn't over now, it hasn't started yet (see last show's playlist)
  3:02pm
Looms:

Lee Morgan is going wild!!!
  3:03pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

yes, this does sound somewhat different
  3:03pm
Laura L:

My ears is going krazy!
  3:04pm
still b/p:

One line of listening at a time is for low-voltage shmoes.
  3:04pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I keep thinking I have two streams going
  3:05pm
Mike East:

freaked me out too...I love WFMU
  3:06pm
Younger Generation:

What's, "snow"?
  3:06pm
Staggered Stereo:

our new programming platform: LSD without the flashbacks, unless you click on the archive later too...
  3:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE, Staggered Stereo: So I'm guessing you had the "lock skip" of Lee Morgan's saxophone and overlaid tracks too?
  3:11pm
oh albedo:

Reflection-flection what's your interjection!

Albedo's got nothing to do with libido.
But ohhhhh.
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

Irwin having a little fun with the intro I suppose? I actually did have buffering problems at first, so I wasn't sure.
  3:13pm
Open Minded:

Global warming is really kinda warmed over at this late date.

Snow what!
  3:14pm
Staggered Stereo:

@DCE -- Seems everyone heard it, so just a little IrFun, ah reckinz...
  3:15pm
Ike:

Ha! Every winter, ignorant cons make me chortle w/the hilarious "there's snow!!!! so global climate change must be fake!!" stuff. Oh and then they act like Al Gore is some kind of ultra-wealthy mega-kingpin, and suddenly being rich is BAD (but just for him, oh and for G. Soros too, but just them).
  3:17pm
Tech:

Cue up Lee in CD Player One, cue up Lee in CD Player Two, then press forward and reverse buttons repeatedly on one of the tracks...
  3:21pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

and slight headache
  3:22pm
Looms:

Good Lord, we're all gonna die!
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

Julian Lynch is awesome--unfortunately I'll be at a convention tomorrow. But I'll definitely listen to that archive, it will give me a chance to give Jason Sigal's show a try (the NON Apatow movies one).
  3:23pm
the wild man:

great sets man, thanks!
  3:24pm
Eisenhower:

Do I like Ike? :-)
  3:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: That intro triggered a flashback of the time in July '09 when Winamp started to play over itself--I cowered under my desk, muttering "The lemons will save you, save some for the lemons" ad infinitum. But I'm fine now.
  3:24pm
Parq:

Searched unsuccessfully for a famous quote beginning with "If by yes you mean ..." Cf. "If by whiskey ..."
  3:25pm
still b/p:

If we'd had the interwebs a few decades back, we could've been asking each other, "Are you on Flashback? Yah, check my Flashback page. I'll freak ya. How many freaks do you have?"
  3:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Parq:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If-by-whiskey
One of the funnest stories about a logical fallacy!
  3:25pm
bernie:

more Petra Hadyn
  3:27pm
Well-Aged Brain:

No flashbacks here. Swiss Cheese Syndrome has erased my memories, except those prior to age 12, which I now converse about a hundred times a day to anyone who will or won't listen.
  3:27pm
bernie:

sorry Petra...Haden....
  3:27pm
Matt from Springfield:

@still b/p: Remember the anime that caused seizures in children? If the interwebs were around 40 yrs ago, that moment woulda happened MUCH earlier, as freak artists could create and spread freaked-out media at unprecedented speed.
  3:27pm
nestor:

thanks for the broadcast :) xo
  3:29pm
roscoe sugarfield:

perfect call irwin, as usual
  3:30pm
bernie:

where would we be without Irwin on Wednesday afternoons?
  3:30pm
jnobs:

r.i.p. influential lady.

so nice I had to said it twice
  3:35pm
Mike Fun:

Reminds of Mary Hansen a little. Sad about them both>
  3:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

Trish was such a wonderful vocalist--I will miss her.
Thanks to all the 'FMU DJs who have been giving tributes the past couple days.
  3:40pm
Gertrude Stein:

Nice title, kids!
  3:43pm
mg:

"Living Room" is my favorite track from Work and Non-Work. I remember being a wee college kid, listening to this in a room with a red bulb and smoking a cigarette. Thanks for the great memories, Trish.
  3:45pm
Aharon:

Oh man. I do not like it when I hear a long non-live set from a musician/band I like, because that usually means one thing.
  3:46pm

dang kid, bringing me back to my radio days!

I admit she was a little better wordsmith then me. But come on, man, what about props for calculated commercialization???? THE FREAKIN MONKEES, EH???
  3:55pm

thanks bud!
  3:56pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Rest, Don, Rest
  3:59pm
glenn:

i have a question --i have a great song in my itunes that for some reason i can't find the title or artist for. is there some kind of song recognition software i can get from the interwebs?
  4:00pm
jill:

Glenn- maybe you can sing it and we'll try to figure it out.. does it go "da-da-da, dee-dee-dah?"
  4:05pm
glenn:

jeez. i lay my song knowing inadequecies out in front of everyone and i get whacked for it. i bet npr wouldn't treat me this bad.
  4:08pm
jill:

aw shucks, I'm just f**king with you. Now i feel bad. If it makes you feel better, i have to admit, i didn't do the math right to post this reply...
  4:08pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Diane Rehm would ream you
  4:10pm
Ike:

Diane Rehm's voice would ream anybody('s ears). Sounds like a 137-year-old gargling glass shards.
  4:11pm
Chris:

Loving this Roy Budd track! The entire Get Carter soundtrack is pretty great.
  4:11pm
still b/p:

You browsed some o' what them NPR commenters are puttin' down, pretty much any day? They can rail, spit, spin, sneer and scorch to a remarkable extremity and endurance.
  4:12pm
glenn:

i mess up on the math all the time. it's not like it's string theory or anything, either.
  4:14pm
roscoe sugarfield:

ooooooooo irwinnn
  4:14pm
glenn:

the best version of get carter, in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsqCo7WQ-aY
  4:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

I oughta check out this Halcyon Digest album; such a great sound for the winter.
  4:16pm
tomasz.:

tuned in one song into the Broadcast set. thanks for that, lovely stuff
  4:18pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

yeah, Matt, it's way better than their other stuff
  4:20pm
Finding Lyrics:

For songs you hear on the radio or TV soundtracks or ads, just make a mental note to remember a line or two that have words that are not in a ,million different sentences people have typed on the WWW. Search for an exact phrase by putting quotation marks around it in a google search.

It's really easy when you have it on your ipod and can relisten if your first try doesn't work. Just pick a phrase till you get one that pulls up a link to the whole lyrics.

The most obscuro songs may not have lyrics up, but most somewhat known songs do have lyrics, often in multple places all copypasted from another site, often complete with the same exact mistranscriptions and mondegreens. :-)
  4:21pm
john:

^^ thanks
  4:22pm
glenn:

oooh. good idea.
  4:22pm
Laura L:

My fave from Violet Hour--thanks, Irwin!
  4:22pm
Finding Lyrics:

NP, learned it though online experience, piled atop grad-school research skills O:-)
  4:27pm
glenn:

no success though.
  4:28pm
jojo:

soon it will all be jersey, there will be nothing else
  4:30pm
Ovenall:

New here... listening in Chicago
  4:32pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Finding Lyrics: One of my proudest song-finding moments was Primitive Radio Gods: I kept hearing Chris O'Connor's one hit (on commercial radio, so of course they never announced it), and one time I grasped and kept repeating the lyrics "Sunday comes / and all the papers say". Sure enough the only 'Net references to that were to "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hands".
  4:34pm
Finding Lyrics:

@glenn -- If it's something really DIY without even a modest-sized cult following, it may not be up on the WWW with lyrics. I searched last week for lyrics to a song used on a cable TV show, and just found queries upon queries asking what it was, speculations about who it kinda sounded like, and no actual lyrics or group name :-(
  4:37pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, Tom Waits! He sounds like the brother of George Thorogood who didn't "sell out".
  4:38pm
frenchee:

Diane Rehms sounds like my former mother-in-law.
  4:39pm
glenn:

i think i got the song from a kexp song of the day podcast, and somehow or another erased the info. anyway, i'll figure it out.
  4:39pm
trss:

Hey, you know that water vibration you see in a glass of water when heavy construction vehicles or heavy bass thump it into motion? How do you suppose that affects the 90% water make up of human bodies. Thump thump.
  4:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

@glenn: Another suggestion would be to search YouTube for media that might have the song in it. It might appear as an iTunes link, or you could at least ask the commenters like we do here (e.g. Altered Images' 1981 pop single "Happy Birthday", it's very difficult to search for ANOTHER "Happy Birthday" song!)
  4:41pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

this is all very technical and I don't follow
  4:42pm
doug:

shit yes irwin
  4:42pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

rearrange those words
  4:44pm
Ovenall:

Wonder if this is a put-on like "cruising with Rueben and the Jets"
  4:44pm
Matt from Springfield:

"Walking AT Midnight": A little keg, and some Chuck Gregg.
  4:44pm
Finding Lyrics:

@glenn -- If you know how to view the date-created for the .mp3 file in question, then take that date, go back to the site, and check if you can find it by looking around in their archive on that date and the immediately prior days... (yes, this works only if you downloaded it when it was a current-date or recent-date "song of the day"...)
  4:45pm
Tomz:

This is for my buddy Sigurjón from Iceland: Þetta er mega gott stöff!
  4:45pm
reelloopy:

OMG! SFA OK! i did the accompanying film to this on the rings around the world DVD...amazzzzzing to hear it on the radio!!! best band ever!!!
  4:49pm
jill:

finding lyrics has so much more useful information than my bullshit.
  4:50pm
reelloopy:

i can't believe i just OMG'd. sorry all.
  4:51pm
Finding Lyrics:

bs can be fun too !!! the comments are a collaborative mashup, duh!!!
  4:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Finding Lyrics: There is a lot of obscure stuff without any web presence. A cassette of the OLD WHFS in Washington (taped Feb '84) has a bunch of songs/bands with NO web presence. WFMU also plays DIY stuff with no leads as well, so COMMENT--it will create a Web lead! (I'm 1 of only 2 links for the phrase "marijuana and carrots"!)
  4:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

Oops, 2 of 3 now!
  4:52pm
glenn:

mmmmm. marijuana and carrots.
  4:53pm
Matt from Springfield:

@jill: Bullshit provides a soft, cushy, great-if-you-hold-your-nose experience for listening to Irwin.
  4:54pm
Finding Lyrics:

True dat, MfS. But the web's only been here since 1993, and once on the web, forever on the web, so over time everything will end up findable there. I wish all the books I need to read every week were all 100% on the web and searchable. When I'm dead, maybe :-(
  4:54pm
Dog-Faced Boy:

This is wonderful. Last.fm has nothing about Chuck Gregg either. I might have to remedy that.
  4:55pm
Mimi Cookie:

INSANE! INSANE! INSANE!
Me LOVES Cosmo Gregg!!!
  4:55pm
Ovenall:

I contend this Chuck Gregg song is a joke done by some hippie types, a la "Cruisin' with Reuben and the Jets." The music accompaniment is too competent for the vocals. I bet it was done as a spoof of old doo-wop music
  4:57pm
Don Kirshner:

@Ovenall. Three words:

ShaNaNa at Woodstock.
  4:58pm
Dog-Faced Boy:

"Walking at Midnight " definitely has more integrity, if nothing else.
  4:58pm
marq:

yes. awesome. wonderful. alright.
  4:59pm
fluffia:

Jonathan Richman on Romilar
  4:59pm
Patsy Kline:

I'll be out later.
  4:59pm
marq:

did Tom Waits do a version of this?
  4:59pm
Ovenall:

Walkin at Midnight is better. ShaNaNa was certainly tongue in cheek, IMO... Though if "Insane" was really recorded in 1963 as Irwin just said, then my theory could be complete garbage... Who knows
  4:59pm
doug:

perfect!
  4:59pm
glenn:

i guarantee chuck has never received this much airplay. ever.
  5:00pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Ovenall: That's a plausible theory, esp. considering counterculture style, but Irwin's played about 6 decades worth of "incorrect music" and found-sounds, and for the 60s, this could DEFINITELY be the real thing. If only there were more links to Chuck.
  5:01pm
Secretary:

He sounds like a sick cat, but his shorthand system was the cat's meow.
  5:01pm
Unclepoop:

The perfect soundtrack to my psychotic breakdown
  5:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

@glenn: Irwin = 100% of many artists', and "artists", airplay.
  5:02pm
Syd Barrett:

This talkin' guy's really interesting!
  5:03pm
glenn:

i think amanda would agree with you, matt.
  5:03pm
Spankyflop:

It seems as though Rex has also played the Unbelievable Chuck Gregg: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/31139
  5:04pm
Irwin:

Rex probably owns the vinyl!
  5:04pm
frenchee:

ha ha ha, "oh btw, yours comes out to $32.50"
  5:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

House of Fun! What a "fun" ska song!
They played this in a pub on "The Young Ones" in 1982.
  5:06pm

what do you know about the beans?!!?!?
  5:07pm
matheus:

WHAT THE FUCK, someone else knows Roy Wood's Boulders and MADE A COVER VERSION OF A SONG FROM IT?

Unbelievable.
  5:09pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Neil: I know you'd better grab a bloody pot to catch these lentils, before they all spill out!
  5:09pm

Can't find that record anywhere

@Brandy: Something should be shaken now, do you have any suggestions?
  5:12pm
leah:

seconded! - Where can i get this?
  5:13pm
Alison:

It's not on the Free Music Archive.
  5:13pm
glenn:

my cats are staring at the speakers and going "WTF"??
  5:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ah, yes. That's it. Good one, Brandy.
  5:13pm
Video Parrot:

Amanda adds more fun to this song than *I* ever did.
  5:15pm
KC in MKE:

YES! another Amanda CD, however you want to do it.
  5:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: Put whatever you like on your premium, but AMANDA MUST COME OUT! ALL OF IT! WE'D PAY FOR IT, YOU KNOW, JUST GET IT TO US!!! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!!

Thanks Jan, Ike.

someone give that dog a treat. and irwin too..

Is Tucker the Schnoodle an "incorrect" artist, or is he being ironic? Or is he a star vocalist? Any dog music experts out there?

I hate this. Play something else.
