Listener comments!

  3:01pm
Brian:

I do -too- have a belt on...
  3:02pm
Alison Porchnik:

Well, your pants are still falling down.
  3:03pm
Alison Porchnik:

Good luck with that belt, Brian.
  3:04pm
G:

But are you holding your pee in solidarity with Andy and Ken?
  3:04pm
Caryn:

Of course, Lisa's paper seems to say that your "paims" are falling down, so don't know if that belt would help, Brian.
  3:05pm
Alison Porchnik:

Without pants, we can only hope against hope.
  3:05pm
northguineahills:

I downloaded the sndrk (Milos Vacek) and watched many of these cartoons a few weeks ago. Awesome fun.
  3:05pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I have no luck either way. I am neutral. hello.
  3:05pm
Matt from Springfield:

There is a mole on the playlist...we think he's Czech...
  3:06pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Mole? check. MFS? check.
  3:06pm
Alison Porchnik:

@DCA: but are your pants falling down?
  3:06pm
G:

Krtek a zelena hvezda = Mole and green star (Czech). So saith google translate.
  3:06pm
Caryn:

Aw, the mole and the green star... that was a good one.
  3:07pm
Alison Porchnik:

I mean, DCE.
  3:07pm
Haut Buoy:

Gotta love an oboe.
  3:07pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

my palms are falling down, AP.
  3:07pm
slaxiom:

Ask not what your pants can do for you...
  3:08pm
Oboe-philiac:

YOU GOT AN OBOE I CAN LOVE??
  3:08pm
Caryn:

The colours in this particular animation are lovely: all deep blues and bits of green.
  3:10pm
kat330:

Awwww, gonna cry...
  3:11pm
Alison Porchnik:

Do not bother trying to decipher the childlike scrawl. That drawing is clearly of someone's pants falling down.
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: What is the "green star" then?
(I know zelena means green in most Slavic languages, didn't know offhand what the rest meant)
  3:11pm
kat330:

@Caryn, thanks for the Germano dingus. :)
  3:12pm
Caryn:

This is from 1969, btw. So in the US: Woodstock. In Europe: the Mole and the Green Star.
  3:12pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

someone with no HEAD whose pants are falling down.
  3:13pm
Alison Porchnik:

The head is of no consequence when you're dealing with the ass. Everyone knows that.
  3:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: It's to protect Brian's somewhat anonymity, like the news B-roll of fat people from the waist down when showing obesity reports.
  3:14pm
G:

The Eastern bloc would never have allowed a Woodstock like event in 1969. Creative people had to do whatever they could to say some of what they wanted, without getting in trouble and/or ending up with no career in the state-controlled arts.
  3:15pm
Randal Graves:

@Alison: You DON'T GO ass-to-head!
  3:16pm
kat330:

Cat facts: "Each lion has a unique pattern of top whisker spots." Dec. Nat'l Geo
  3:16pm
Alison Porchnik:

I love the dueling threads here: Soviet-era cultural politics and headless asses.
  3:16pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

is that where this is going?
  3:16pm
Caryn:

@Matt: oh man, I saw the cartoon as a kid, but essentially the Mole sees a bright green star in the sky and gets all obsessed with it. You can find the episode pretty easily online (at least youtube & vimeo have it), and it's only about 7 minutes long, so go check it out. Incidentally, the first ever Mole cartoon (the Green Star is no. 5) was "How the Mole Got His Pants". I don't think the answer was "he stole them off Brian, who wasn't wearing a belt".
  3:16pm
G:

@AP: Same difference :-)
  3:18pm
Alison Porchnik:

I knew it would all come together in the end. Thanks. Caryn.
  3:18pm
Caryn:

Ooh, nice version...
  3:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: Yes, good one! Thanks for the description.
  3:19pm
kat330:

Why does lovely never last long....
  3:19pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

intentional pun, AP, or just happy coincidence?
  3:20pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Amanda's lurking
  3:20pm
Grubbus:

yes, ooh is correct!
  3:20pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Now, for my Soviet-era cultural politics contribution...

"Time To Live", interesting propaganda piece on a Soviet state-sanctioned youth festival in '68:
http://www.ihffilm.com/33042.html
  3:21pm
glenn:

he's digging up jewels underground and finds an emerald. that would be your green star.
  3:22pm
glenn:

  3:23pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Hey, it's 1950's 'film strip music'! "Plastics, and you!"
  3:24pm
G:

@kat: Because "lovely" is at or near the far end of the aesthetic continuum, and middling is nearly always the largest range along any continuum. Plus there's negative in addition to middling, so the positive extreme is nearly always dwarfed, just by the random accumulation of the not-especially-lovely and the non-lovely.
  3:24pm
Alison Porchnik:

Irwin and his beloved sconces.
  3:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

Sinister Beelzebub-summoning, and fun bed music!
  3:24pm
AndrewK:

that animation is incredible
  3:25pm
kat330:

When G arrives, man, s/he arrives ready! :)
  3:25pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

G, they should teach that in freshman algebra! that's a good equation.
  3:26pm
Reference point:

G, your hair smells terrific!
  3:27pm
Caryn:

Dammit, glenn's description sounds familiar. I shouldn't rely on the memories of 4-year-old me to outline cartoon plots... Maybe I should watch it again.
@and for Soviet-ear cultural politics & children, I give you a Finnish kids' choir singing a Vietnamese song about "uncle Lenin": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjVnbVStaDA
Too bad youtube can't give you the full jarring experience by showing the actual choir in their sailor suits singing it...
  3:27pm
G:

Time to Live = totally orchestrated

Woodstock = the chaos of what happened (great and not so great), despite everyone's intentions that things be some other way (including the organizers)
  3:28pm
Caryn:

Soviet-era, not *ear*... man, my brain ain't working.
  3:29pm
kat330:

We had a Reed day a while back, shall we have a Finn day today, Irwin?
  3:29pm
G:

I'm never ready. I've just thought about things a lot! Memory + improvisation = utterance
  3:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks glenn for the description.
  3:29pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Soviet-era ear hears all
  3:30pm
kat330:

Ah, but improvisation requires readiness.
  3:30pm
Alison Porchnik:

It's Burns Night. We should have a Burns Day.
  3:30pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: I spin a rolodex of my memory, and pull one out at random!
  3:30pm
v k:

find Craig Finn's voice interesting, yet one i'd be ok with never hearing again
  3:31pm
kat330:

@AP: not following -- something with 7SD?
  3:31pm
velma:

This show RULES!
  3:31pm
G:

Stephin M -- never amiss, even if his synth patches in the past could have used more work.
  3:32pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

now Stephin Merritt, that's an interesting voice
  3:32pm
daphne:

velma, where are the boys?
  3:33pm
jan:

Mi-t-fine show, Irwin. Thnx
  3:33pm
velma:

They're out solving mysteries!!
  3:34pm
Alison Porchnik:

@ Kat - no something with 18th C Scottish Lit: Robert Burns's birthday. Traditionally observed with haggis and whiskey.
  3:35pm
Thin Lizzy:

The boys are back in town
  3:36pm
Bus boys:

True story.
  3:36pm
velma:

I'm listening from California on RadioFlag.com. There's also kind of a chatroom-style feed there, but you can listen to all the other college stations too
  3:37pm
Alison Porchnik:

"Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!"
(It's about a hat.)
  3:38pm
velma:

holy shit...the bus boys are here. where's scoobs?
  3:38pm
Matt from Springfield:

Max Rubin, been awhile since we heard him!
  3:38pm
scooby:

ruff ruff rooby racks!
  3:39pm
kat330:

AP, got it. But are there as many musical Burns' as Finn's?
  3:40pm
kat330:

I can hear Billy Connelly (sp?) reciting that with relish.
  3:40pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

nice mix me likes the big rock action
  3:40pm
Caryn:

Oh, let's recite Burns' Address to a Haggis... And then start our pudding discussion again. Can haggis be considered a pudding? Nah, let's just have Irwin dig up someone reading Burns. I quite enjoy Billy Connolly's Burns recitations.
  3:40pm
Alison Porchnik:

Probably not. Maybe it would work if more people covered Robert Burns songs.
  3:42pm
kat330:

That Queens dude is giant tall IIRC.
  3:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

Great mash-up, makes Blue Cheer's version even harder than before!

@Caryn: I don't know if food baked in intensines can ever be considered a "pudding", to recall the last conversation about this.
  3:42pm
Haggis:

Well stuff me in turkey and call me dressing!
  3:43pm
Alison Porchnik:

Is kishka pudding?
  3:43pm
Haggis in a Tardis:

Call me anything you like, but call me for dinner on time.
  3:44pm
G:

Many probably know this, but the release date on that new Mag Fields CD is March 6th. I got an email from them about it late last year, but had forgotten the date, and just looked it back up...
  3:45pm
Many:

Old news.
  3:49pm
G:

THE Many Ramirez?
  3:49pm
Matt from Springfield:

NEW Jersey?? I thought Jersey City was in OLD Jersey, otherwise wouldn't it be New Jersey City?!! And to think I was supporting the Channel Islands by supporting FMU...
  3:50pm
backporch:

haha
  3:50pm
Crotch Cams:

Will no one rescue us out of this position???
  3:50pm
Alison Porchnik:

New Jersey was a gift to Bonnie Prince Charlie. Obviously he didn't take very good care of his toys.
  3:51pm
EAS:

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
  3:51pm
kat330:

Hora Staccato: I was musing that Weird Al might be able to do a Hava Nagila parody on The Artist director, Hazanavicius
  3:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

1973 technology, judging by that modem sound, the original "modulator-demodulator" probably was developed around that time.
  3:52pm
Alison Porchnik:

no we heard it, Irwin.
  3:52pm
kat330:

Nope, YOU HEAR IT LOUD AND CLEAR!
  3:52pm
Dan B From Upstate:

We do hear the test on the web!
  3:52pm
Torbjørn:

Test tone for the emergency system is quite audible on the internet stream, thank you very much. I, for one, think it's quite nice.
  3:52pm
Dan B From Upstate:

We hear it in archives, too!
  3:53pm
Caryn:

Well, according to the original meaning of "pudding", any meat or offal encased in a sausage casing, intestine or other such item is a pudding. And according to the second meaning, any dish that consists of a mixture of grains or starches and other items is a pudding. Haggis falls into both categories.
@AP: true. There's a few versions of Burns' songs available, but not necessarily right for Irwin's show. Eddi Reader's covered quite a few Burns songs.
  3:53pm
Caryn:

And yep, emergency test very audible, thanks.
  3:53pm
G:

Wouldn't miss it for the world. A useful reminder of how efficient and with-it our overlords are.
  3:54pm
Alison Porchnik:

I forgot - blood sausage is also called blood pudding. So that confirms it.
  3:54pm
G:

@Caryn: That's really offal.
  3:54pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Alison: James II actually--"Bonnie Prince Charlie" led a Jacobite rebellion and probably wouldn't get a colony named for him.

Actually it has to do with the island of Jersey remaining loyal to Charles II during Cromwell's Commonwealth.
  3:55pm
aloha:

I heard it (the emrgency broadcast)

HAIL SATAN this evening.

He toght me to surf.
mahalo, aloha

  3:55pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Maybe before we let the gubment get involved in modernizing our power distribution system, we should let them take a crack at the EAS first. Oh, wait ....
  3:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: Good point, though besides blood pudding, the term isn't really used now; perhaps, "pudding classic"?

@G: HA! :)
  3:56pm
Stanley:

@Caryn: I don't remeber hearing Eddi Reader on WFMU before. She has a wonderful voice and has made Ae Fond Kiss her own.
  3:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Offaly is in Ireland, is everything they eat there offal?
  4:00pm
G:

Awfully.
  4:00pm
Alison Porchnik:

I stand corrected. I was thinking of Charles II. Bonnie Prince Charlie was Charles III. We're not going to get into another argument about Scottish History again, are we? Charles gave NJ to someone else, actually.
  4:01pm
backporch:

Can we argue about THE FALL instead?
  4:01pm
Caryn:

@G: heh!
@Stanley: too true
  4:02pm
Alison Porchnik:

Did you know Mark E. Smith was born on the Isle of Jersey?
  4:02pm
G:

Opening of Ireland's _Ulssyes_: "Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. [more variety meat content omitted] Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine."
  4:04pm
backporch:

That's not how it opens. It opens with "Stately, plump, Buck Mulligan"
  4:04pm
G:

Opening of the hero's part. The first three episodes are prologue.
  4:06pm
Alison Porchnik:

Ah, comments board has become a British and Irish lit. debate. All is going according to plan...
  4:06pm
kat330:

Don't feel like touching the keyboard when Monk's on one.
  4:07pm
Alison Porchnik:

All that grad school weren't for nothing after all.
  4:07pm
Matt from Springfield:

Groan!! Burns Night, now Bloom's Day...just give some whisk(e)y already! I'll even pretend to be interested in it like you literary types!
  4:07pm
Stanley:

@Alison: Jersey's also famous for creamy milk, new potatoes and tax avoidance.
  4:09pm
kat330:

That's why Irwin should just slip us a Mickey Finn, and all the fighting will cease.
  4:10pm
Alison Porchnik:

I've been there! It's also got an amazing Nazi occupation industry. My favorite island is Alderney, where normal people live.
  4:12pm
kat330:

Irwin, are Ken & Andy liquid loading yet?
  4:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yes! I'll send some coffee over to Ken and Andy. They must start NOW!!
  4:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

And YES!! The "censored" Annie's Song, I love this one!
Did Scott Williams put this together then?
  4:14pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

funny!
  4:14pm
Caryn:

Oh lord, now we're going to fight about "Ulysses"? Finally, those Irish lit. courses I took in college pay off! Actually, please don't.
@Stanley: And "Bergerac".
But inspired by Burns & Connolly, and Ken's show's comments board, I think someone should do a McGonagall show. Maybe Mary Wing? The definition of poetry that's so bad, it's good. McGonagall was the Ed Wood of poetry. We could start with Connolly doing the infamous "The Tay Bridge Disaster": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRKxzL1plKk
  4:15pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

that Scott...
  4:15pm
channeling Milton Okun:

not quite remembering these lyrics this way
Avatar 4:16pm
Joe McG:

@Matt: Yes, this is one of Scott's all-time greats.
  4:16pm
Alison Porchnik:

Excellent idea, Caryn.
  4:16pm
Caryn:

Oh lord, "Annie's Song" is the ring tone on my mobile phone... It's a hand-down from my mother-in-law, and "Annie's Song" was her and my dad's wedding dance.
  4:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Joe! Always "Mr. Listener Services"! :D
  4:17pm
G:

For excellently horrible poetry, try Amanda Ros.
  4:18pm
Caryn:

For really horrible poetry, try the Vogons.
  4:18pm
kat330:

@Caryn: Let me guess -- Ani or Anneli?
  4:19pm
Caryn:

@kat: actually neither, Kirsi. It was just their song for some reason.
  4:20pm
kat330:

The former name is J.T.'s aunt and the latter his mother.
  4:20pm
Matt from Springfield:

ECC!
  4:20pm
G:

Does Amanda want a cookie?
  4:22pm
Caryn:

But seriously, there were only two songs programmed into the phone, so it was either "Annie's Song" or "Tears in Heaven", and I'm not having a maudlin song about a dead kid as my ring tone. I'd be depressed all the time.
  4:23pm
kat330:

Well, I understand our Prez' recent idol moment is now a ringtone.
  4:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

Followed by COOKIE TRAIN!!
You'll go INSANE! INSANE! INSANE!!!
  4:24pm
Caryn:

Next, a song by the Cookie Monster! I'm guessing.
  4:25pm
Cookie Monster:

Me want cookie! What is sex?
  4:25pm
Laura L:

Got milk?
  4:26pm
Matt from Springfield:

INSANE, child!
  4:27pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

great, now I'm picturing Cookie Monster sex, thanks comment board!
  4:29pm
Caryn:

@DCE: well, it could be worse, that imagery could include Amanda in some disturbing way...
  4:30pm
George of Troy:

C is for 666! http://youtu.be/fXEyxpLHtM4
  4:31pm
Devo:

Too bad the ECC didn't step in before Amanda's parents started breeding.
  4:39pm
G:

I know an Amanda Hater comment when I read it. At least you included ObComedy, though. Redeeming social value!
  4:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

The Caravelles are great, amazing voices and arrangements!
  4:41pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

@Devo - Poo on you.
  4:41pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: "Obstetric Comedy"?
  4:42pm
kat330:

Buzzcocks, yes!
  4:45pm
kme in chi:

Yes! I heard this for the first time the other day. I knew it'd find its way into your show, Irwin. :)
  4:45pm
Pedo Bear:

I like that youtube video.
  4:46pm
Matt from Springfield:

Juliet's already better than 95% of DC 101!
And a Max Rubin twin-spin! The sounds of Young America!
  4:46pm

LET'S OPEN UP THIS PIT!
  4:46pm
Detroit Mac:

Saw that Juliet song on-line yesterday. Cutest Heavy Metal Banger of all time!
  4:47pm
kat330:

Here's another precocious youngun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkc_5ZevHy4
  4:47pm
G:

Ob = Obligatory. It's from the old newsgroup lingo of the 90s. If you wanted to post off-topic on say alt.music.Groupname, at the end you'd add ""ObGroupname: " and then some sincere or BS line of info or thinking about the actual group topic.

I guess the idea is, feel free to hate Amanda in the comments, but if there's some wit behind it, you're still adding something worthwhile to the overall discussion.
  4:47pm

Oh man, remember when TLC actually meant "The Learning Channel"? For years now, it's been multi-kid families, freakshow pageant moms and most recently, people eating their cremated husband's ashes or drinking nail polish... "Totally Lurid Channel"?
  4:53pm
Ron White:

Even TLC can't fix stupid.

I think Sophia Grace is Russell Brand's love child -- maybe that's what broke up the marriage.

Patch Addams:

Does anyone know someone who's so into state of the union speeches, they applaud and sometimes stand up in their own living room?
  4:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn,G: Yes, Stuck On Stupid! A lurid channel, indeed. Sad to see what's become of it. As well as "fine arts" channel Bravo, also all-reality show, all the time. To think they actually once showed Tim Roth in a taped stage adaptation of Kafka's "Metamorphoses".

Rocket Scientist? In my honor? Why, thank you. Call me after golf.

There should be a term by now for channels/networks that shift/morph down in familiar fashion after a while and go sliming/slumming.

I'm just glad we don't have cable.

"Humping the Shark"?

Matt from Springfield:

@AAP: Good idea!
Maybe, "sludge channel", referring to a physical channel of sludge.

Tying back to the beginning, the Offal Channel as in PLEASE turn it OFF!

And when did watching people buy other people's crap become entertainment? I need a producer for my new show where I go garage sailing with my wife.

Christina disturbingly sounds like KiTH's Scott Thompson...

Yes kat!

"Rocky Mountain Holiday" is -- well, it -- I mean, it's -- well gosh, I'm not sure but it sure as heck is.
  5:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: And this has the same consciously excessive Canadian-ness as the show.
  5:10pm
Anon:

If you sing like that in Rocky Mountain parks, coyotes will eat you.

Are there oats in the horse? Yes, there're oats in the horse!

Vance has gotten me back into early Crimson. This is so perfect.

Thought this sounded familiar!--I like Stephen's guitaring and choice of song.
  5:19pm
kat330:

Irwin, I'm leery of throwing roses at your feet in case that's a cue to go all hippie noise on us, but I have to thank you for all the lovelies today

That song fried my brain o.o

I should have said irredeemable noise -- I quite like these last two so, ha, foiled you and your diabolical plan, Irwin!

I loved the Moody Blues back in my high school days in the early 70s. One of the better "prog rock" bands.
  5:44pm
kat330:

Yeah, I guess they got a bit high concept. I was at a prime age for the British invasion: Kinks, Animals, Stones (bocoors), Beatles (bocoors), Gerry & the Pacemakers, etc.

L.A. L.A.:

Stiv Bators did a great cover of "The Story In Your Eyes"

@Irwin: WOW, great genes and nurturing! Thanks Irwin.
I'm hearting all the Steinbergs.
  5:49pm
PB:

@kat, let's not forget the Dave Clark Five, Manfred Mann, Billy J. Kramer etc. @L.A., that sounds very interesting, I'll have to check it out.

Phil Ochs' daughter is running for school board where I live... just sayin'... kinda whacky song may explain some stuff
  5:54pm
kat330:

I believe I revealed this to Irwin, but my first "rock" concert as a teen was Herman's Hermits -- hey, ya takes whatcha gets around these parts -- opened by Sonny & Cher (in her cavewoman boots).
  5:54pm
PB:

Saw that documentary about Phil Ochs, he had some serious mental issues.
  5:55pm

I'm thinking maybe Peter & Gordon were also on the bill, but that was, well, many moons ago.

I don't want to live in a "world without love".
