Favoriting May 16, 2012: I read about him on Facebook. He scares me. He's obsessed with Brian Wilson. You know the type.

Listener comments!

  3:02pm
rrg:

Arf noon!
  3:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

Not half as bad as the guy who was obsessed with *Dennis* Wilson.
Which reminds me, so glad they didn't have Facebook in Charles Manson's day--can you imagine what he'd post??
  3:03pm
rrg:

Hey, same to you, fella.
  3:04pm
kat330:

Afternoon, Irwin.
  3:05pm
Aloha:

Ahoy! and 'morning from Pearl Harbor Shipyard
Avatar 3:05pm
Irwin:

They're known as "Brian homos."
  3:05pm
kat330:

Is there a graphic I'm missing? And who is "he"?
  3:05pm
Caryn:

Hello all!

@Matt: oh boy indeed...
Avatar 3:06pm
Irwin:

The graphic is so powerful it blinds the viewer to itself.
  3:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

Aloha, Aloha!
  3:06pm
rrg:

Well, THAT's a Dutch name.
  3:07pm
kat330:

Ah, I see. Moi to Hawaii and to Finland! How's the weather there, Caryn?
  3:08pm
FB private message:

"Okay, you REFUSED to listen to my brilliant MP3s before, but now your just IGNORING ALL my friend requests! That's cool, this will be my LAST message to you. Last."
  3:08pm
Caryn:

So it's a stealth graphic? heh...

@kat: It was sunny today, supposed to be hot tomorrow.
  3:08pm
kat330:

For anyone who doesn't know, "moi" is not French when I use it. It's "aloha" in Finnish -- both hi and bye.
  3:09pm
Matt from Springfield:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography

Copy a screenshot, and save as a 4-color bmp; the message is hidden therein.
  3:12pm
kat330:

Say what, Matt? And what's a Dutch name? Are we on the same page (literally and figuratively)?
  3:14pm
Caryn:

@Matt: of course announcing the fact that there is a message right in the show title would kinda spoil the whole "no-one even knows there is a hidden message to look for" aspect of steganography.
  3:14pm
kat330:

@Caryn: Yeah, Philo (JT) says it is as nice as it was when I was with him there about this same time in 2002. That's great! Guess they're planning a makara (sp?) grilling in a few days.
  3:14pm
fred von helsing:

moro
  3:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

@kat: No steganography on this page (I don't think...), just explaining the science of hiding things in plain sight. Hiding messages between computer pixels/seeing the message by processing an image a certain way, shrinking down to a microdot, all kinds of ways to do it.
  3:15pm
Caryn:

@kat: I think rrg might be referring to Serveert being a Dutch name?
  3:15pm
kat330:

@fred: So formal! :)
  3:16pm
rrg:

Yes, that's what I meant.
  3:16pm
Notification:

Charles Manson (also friends with Squeaky Fromme) also commented on your link; "The pigs will drown in their own blood to---"
  3:16pm
kat330:

OK, I think I'm caught up in comprehension now.
  3:18pm
rrg:

I would like to know what this talkover music is.

If you already told me once before, please humor me and tell me again anyway.
  3:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

True Caryn, a steganography purist would hide the fact of a message. Announcing to "find the hidden message" makes it more of a data scavenger hunt.
Avatar 3:21pm
Irwin:

RRG: "Hat and Feet," by FoW. New t/o bed.
  3:21pm
kat330:

Do you know the etymology, Matt? Presuming there's no connection to stegosaurus?
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

"What DO you stand for?"
"Well, going to the bathroom is a frequent one..."
  3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

Greek word steganos (στεγανός) meaning "covered or protected", so the stegosaurus might refer to something "covered" in it's body structure.
  3:23pm
kat330:

God only knows what he'd be without Brian Wilson.
  3:24pm
kat330:

Gotta love the Lee, latin or not.
  3:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ah, so it is! Didn't know this about Stegosauria: "The back-armor plates in the fossilized remains look like roof tiles." So, covered with a roof!
  3:27pm
kat330:

@Matt: speaking of old jokes -- I never can remember any unless I heard it really recently, and this is such a one: Life is a lot like bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you better have a strong hand.
  3:27pm
Matt from Springfield:

I like SCotS, a groovy little instrumental by them.
  3:28pm
Parq:

Loved that Ha-woy-an SCOTS, thanks.
  3:31pm
kat330:

[geez, I effed that up -- like I said, I can't remember them, sigh. SEX is a lot like bridge, should be...]
  3:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

Woooooo! Rock 'n Soul music!
Love this Insect Trust!
  3:41pm
Rarus Avis:

Luv d'Duck. Thank you, Irwin.
  3:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

@kat: Ahhhhhh, gotcha.
At least I assume that relates to bridge--does anyone here know how to play it? Anyone's mother? Grandma?...
  3:47pm
kat330:

You're determined to make me an old crone, eh, Matt? :) I know how to play bridge BUT the irony is I didn't learn it until I was almost 40, and I learned it by teaching myself from a software program. I actually quite like the game.
  3:50pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks volunteers!
Endowed with super-human powers! Like...getting your swag from Jersey City, all the way to YOUR home!!

@kat: I'm used to seeing those newspaper columns for bridge "tips", seems like a foreign language to outsiders.
  3:52pm
sounds like:

heroes
  3:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

Irwin's show is the only radio show anywhere not placing theological demands on its listeners. Ken's audience is ripping apart as he adamantly threatens to posthumously baptize us all into the Sacred Temple of Shoe Sniffers...
  3:56pm
Caryn:

@Matt: oh, as if Irwin hasn't tried to make listeners join his Church of Amanda...
  3:56pm
kat330:

Speaking of cults, I just got an email telling me about something called the "National Organization for Rush Babes." So who's claiming to be a Limbaugh NORB? Such "babes" as Ann Coulter? Maybe that tanning bed babe? [shiver]
  3:57pm
Michael:

Hi Irwin - have you heard their new album yet?
Avatar 3:58pm
Irwin:

Who, Primitives?
  3:58pm
Michael:

yeah - saw it advertised in Uncut
  3:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: It's not a religion if it's FACT!!!
WWAWAWAWAWWAWWAAAAWAWAWAAWAWA Hey, anyone in the mood for a cookie all of a sudden? :)
Avatar 3:59pm
Irwin:

Same band? Same chick singer?
  4:00pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hopefully NORB is satirical, Poe's Law makes that hard to determine.
  4:02pm
Caryn:

The people running the NORB facebook site have certainly attacked a number of liberal women on FB and seem like total loons. I suppose it could be an utterly complicated bit of absurdist performance art, but alas, it doesn't look like it.
  4:02pm
Michael:

Yes - just looked on the "official" website: Echoes and Rhymes - out now: http://the-primitives.co.uk/
  4:03pm
Michael:

That site is verrrrry slowwww.
  4:05pm
rrg:

I don't like this much.

I think I'm allowed to say that.
  4:06pm
Matt from Springfield:

Mein Affen! Mein Shaolinaffen!!
  4:07pm
kat330:

While you could decide everything Rush does/says/is is satirical, apparently this is something legit.
  4:07pm
das:

I love it when an artist takes a song and makes it their own, it's like the original didn't even exist.
  4:09pm
sad:

@das: In some cases, the original doesn't exist. The national anthem, for instance.
  4:10pm
das:

I see you point. You making one right?
  4:12pm
sad:

I'm not up to it. But I bet Klaus Beyer could do it.
  4:14pm
das:

True, Klaus could take a can of ham and make it tap dance
  4:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

Are The Radio Dept. some new up-and-comers? I've heard them more and more lately.
  4:16pm
kat330:

Are das and sad having a conversation amongst themselves through the looking glass.
  4:17pm
sad:

Is that what this mirror's for?
  4:17pm
033tak:

Huh?
  4:18pm
rrg:

How about that salty chocolate that all the cool kids are eating now?

I have mixed feeling about it.
  4:18pm
Matt from Springfield:

Groan, Irwin's going to live forever...

The Radio Dept. aren't new, they've been around since the 90s--in Lund, Sweden! But they are becoming better known, rightfully, here in the States.
  4:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

@das: You aren't sad for chatting alone with your reflection, but that reflection *is* sad for chatting with you, apparently.
  4:20pm
Caryn:

omg, Lund!
  4:21pm
Dave in So Dak:

I've been to Lund in the spring. Fabulous.
  4:22pm
Caryn:

I can't read "Cerys of Catatonia" without hearing Kathy Burke say it, and then I just burst out laughing.
  4:23pm
d'ass:

Thanks Matt, I'm glad I'm not the sad case in this situation. It's my reflection?
  4:24pm
Radioman:

»Jedermann der hat was versteckt außer mir und mein Affen« means »Everyone hides something but me and my monkey«.
  4:29pm
kat330:

Love it whenever you play Kronos, Irwin.
  4:30pm
G:

@Rarus Avis: I've been wondering for a couple of weeks now. -- Avis is feminine in Latin, so technically to a Latin grammar nazi it's "rara avis." But maybe you are actually making a clever Latin joke implying that you are male, not female. :-)
  4:31pm
Matt from Springfield:

d'ass would mean "of ass", so I'm not sure what the reflection of *that* would be. A photocopy of your ass?
  4:32pm
kat330:

Who's up for bridge?
  4:32pm
G:

So what does "Ram Dass" mean then?
  4:32pm
kat330:

Singing harmony along here....
  4:32pm
Dan B From Upstate:

Richard Alpert?
  4:33pm
Matt from Springfield:

@rrg: But you'll live forever if you eat ONLY chocolate. Adding salt would throw that off. But, the milk and sugar and stuff added to it isn't chocolate either. Maybe you need to eat whole cacao beans--but that's "cacao", not "chocolate". Need to do more medical studies on this...
  4:33pm
kat330:

@G -- do you really need to ask? ;)
  4:34pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Dunno, but backwards, that would be one "sad mar".
  4:34pm
G:

@Dan B: Herb Alpert's brother without the arranging chops?
  4:34pm
G:

@kat: I'm slow sometimes...
  4:35pm
kat330:

Sometimes slow is good.
  4:37pm
Peteski:

hey, what did I miss?
  4:38pm
G:

That's what she said.
  4:38pm
kat330:

Finns of a sort.
  4:43pm
Keith from VT:

Irwin, you have shockingly good taste. Sorry, it's true.
Avatar 4:44pm
Irwin:

@Keith: In some ways, less so in others. But thanks anyway, sir. Appreciated.
  4:44pm
G:

True, but what's shocking at this late date? Dude has had documented good taste since the 70s at least.
  4:47pm
kat330:

Olympic Fever, getting a headstart...
  4:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yeahhh!!! File this, under Anglophile!
  4:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Irwin IS a "bon vivant", we should at least give him that.
  4:49pm
Caryn:

Oh, doing my chores I see I just missed the punk phenomenon known as Crowded House! Oh, the pogoing I would've done...
  4:50pm
kat330:

@Caryn: You missed the other Finns!
  4:52pm
Caryn:

@kat: oh shucks! Well, at least I'm surrounded by Finns...
  4:54pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: Are you aware of the Monty Python song "Finland"? :)
A fellow Python-fan friend loves it, as his family is Finnish.
  4:55pm
Keith from VT:

Finnished for the day... I'll catch the rest on archive. Thanks again for a tasty show.
  5:00pm
Caryn:

@Matt: of cours!e. I also loved it when Michael Palin sang it as he travelled through Finland in "Pole to Pole".
  5:00pm
Matt from Springfield:

New "favorite" bed music? Pah! This crap doesn't hold a candle to your "Tropical" music!!
  5:02pm

Oh Damn. RIP Chuck Brown.

Oh my lord, it was every bit as good as I thought it would be - thanks SteveL!
  5:08pm
SteveL:

Punks: You know, the ones with the big hair!!
  5:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

Man, another one passes from this mortal coil. That's a shame, Chuck Brown practically started Go-Go, he was the biggest funk musician to come out of DC, a local legend.
  5:11pm
kat330:

He's GOT to have his gateau!
  5:18pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hey, someone's taken Klaus Beyer tracks, remixed them and recorded English lyrics..
  5:21pm
kat330:

Seems to be focusing on the source of the blistered fingers.
  5:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

I like M83--and this one is great! Wondering who this was!
  5:29pm
kat330:

I was really impressed that he brought Jeff Buckley to light -- a brilliant flame snuffed far too soon.
  5:42pm
Michael:

I do like cows and songs about cows. There, I said it.
  5:43pm
Droll:

Cows wear leather and sometimes have pierced noses, so this Phillip Kent Bimstein tune must be very punk. Kinda conceptual and arty like Huey Lewis' "Hip to be Square" single.
  5:43pm
Matt from Springfield:

It's times like this that I'm REALLY GLAD this show is not just on the Internet, but being broadcast into the NYC market! Random commuters trapped in cars may be confused by this!
  5:45pm
kat330:

Local boys making it big time. Andrew Bird seemed very influenced by MMJ (or vice versa?).
  5:46pm
G:

From Washington Post just now: "Chuck Brown, the gravelly voiced bandleader who capitalized on funk's percussive pulse to create go-go, the genre of music that has soundtracked life in black Washington for more than three decades, died Wednesday at the Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore. He was 75."
  5:52pm
kat330:

75 is still a rather full life. Buckley, less than half that. That's when you want to punch the reaper where it hurts and hard....
  5:53pm
Roberto:

Thanks to that "punk" commercial, life just got good again. Thanks Irwin & Co!
  5:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

The great Linda Perhacs--I bought this album, and I highly rec others to do so!
That is, after you've paid for rush delivery for "Punk", obviously that's your first priority...but make Parallelograms your second!
  5:57pm
Droll Reaper:

Inside baseball: Jeff was actually on my "curse of 27" list, but I was slammed back in the 90s with this and that, and I didn't get to him till later. That's life, I mean death.
  5:58pm
kat330:

Ending on some very sweet notes indeed. Good stuff, I. 'Night all!
  6:00pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Irwin, another fine episode, as usual!
Have a good night everyone! See some of you over at 7SD!
