October 9, 2013: Like a heathen religion, WFMU is all fired up with tom-toms, hot jive and ritualistic orgies of erotic dancing, weed-smoking and mass mania, set to an African jungle background.

Listener comments!
	3:04pm Listening Out There: The image = Pledge drive swag?
	3:07pm Caryn: Yeah, the retro rotor works without "massage by an attendant", but you can still get that on the side just for fun. I almost suspect this is the male version of women's "shoulder massagers".
	👻 3:08pm rrg: You can read that? Oh, right. You're in your 30s. I forgot.
	3:09pm Sean D. Daily: So... 5/8" chuck? 1/2"? Variable speed reversible?
	3:10pm Caryn: @rrg: well, I'm close to legally blind, but I got really strong glasses...
	👻 3:11pm rrg: Stereo! Put on your headphones. It's like a throwback.
	3:11pm Caryn: Has any WFMU DJ already done a tribute to Phil Chevron of The Pogues?
	👻 3:12pm rrg: "Musical Interpretations of the Paintings of Paul Klee". I'm sorry, but that sounds like bullshit.
	3:13pm Caryn: Of course, Deed Runlea will probably do something...
	3:16pm Sean D. Daily: @rrg: Yeah, total bullshit. THIS is a musical interpretation of the paintings of Paul Klee - www.youtube.com...
	3:16pm Droll: rrg, Thx for the tip. Anything even remotely resembling the Belew-Fripp or Partridge-Gregory or Gentle Giant hocketing with hard-panned counterpoint is ear candy to me. To quote the picture, "This picture tells it's own story." 'nuff said.
	3:19pm Caryn: @rrg: well, Klee's work is known for referencing his musician side. As Rainer Maria Rilke said, "I would have guessed that on many occasions his drawings were transcriptions of music." So, I suppose TNG is just turning the transcriptions back into music? ...Or maybe I'm just spouting bullshit too. Who knows?
	3:20pm ee: welcome back Irwin! hope all is well!
	3:21pm Caryn: Okay, has a WFMU DJ done a tribute to Keyboard Cat already? Sheesh, the deaths are just piling on...
	3:22pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey , Irwin ...Don't cut in on my gig!
	3:23pm fleep: Try the Bureau of Engraving, put a picture of yourself on the $50
	3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they don't like stoner semen - seems quite reasonable...
	3:25pm Irwin: Hey, where's Ike taking the side of the federal leviathan?
	3:25pm dc waters: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They don't, but Daisy may.
	3:26pm common: ah, perfect tune.
	3:27pm rsj: it's all those bushies, burn them all!
	👻 3:27pm rrg: That was a big hit, that Li'l Abner. A strip remembered by hardly anyone. Like Pogo.
	3:28pm Parq: rrg, that's about all Al Capp and Walt Kelly had in common.
	3:28pm Caryn: Hey, knew that was Stubby Kaye! And yikes, Paul Klee's wikipedia page lists a bucketload of musical interpretations of his works. Apparently, it's a popular pastime.
	3:28pm Carmichael: Whoa, I remember the old TV show Shenanigans.
	3:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to come up w/ something clever to say about an FMU buttplug... ... ...
	3:29pm Irwin: If any listeners would care to take pity on my woeful fundraising support level, please click the widget atop the playlist. THANKS in advance. Money all goes to WFMU's new public performance space.
	3:31pm Carmichael: People may be hesitant to give because they think it will become Andy Richter's new Komedy Klubhouse.
	3:31pm Caryn: It has to be said, the "Li'l Abner" musical is very good. Of course, I suspect that it would've been even better if they'd hired Dick Shawn as originally planned.
	3:32pm Sean D. Daily: Wish I could, Irwin, but I just moved and money's tight. I haven't been able to contribute to ANY DJ this month.
	👻 3:34pm rrg: I think Edie Adams was in that show (as Daisy Mae).
	3:34pm Parq: That's it. I'm making a pledge right now, Ol' Pal Irwin. I was going to anyway, but now that I've seen Stubby Kaye and Paul Klee discussed in the same comment on your playlist, nothing can stand in my way.
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...buttplug...performance space...no, nevermind... ...Got the FMU mailer & will probably do it that way. Love too many Programs to even bother spreading my pittance around - altho' I'm thinking I might survive the $15/month level - & I forgot to get a career too, Folx !...
	3:34pm Caryn: @Carm: hey, if it became Andy Richter's Komedy Klubhouse, it would be great. It's the other Andy people are worried about. @rrg: she was indeed. As was Julie Newmar.
	3:34pm Ike: Re: 3:25: Busy working. Used all my break time talking cats on Ken's playlist. Maybe will defend Head Start etc. later.
	3:35pm Irwin: I'll ask again. Later. On second thought, now. No, later.
	3:36pm Caryn: Currently paying off 3 WFMU pledges, but will have to check if I can afford even a little pledge this month, Irwin. If I can, I will.
	3:37pm raboof: honestly FMU has gone to the well once too often ,,, make do with the space you have.
	👻 3:37pm G: 15 was the average age at puberty when that ad was made. Nuff said.
	3:37pm Sean D. Daily: You're definitely ambivalent, Irwin. Truly, your indecisiveness is decisive.
	👻 3:38pm G: Unguent chamber??? My dinner is ruined.
	👻 3:38pm G: Definitively indecisive.
	👻 3:39pm rrg: The name of the place is, I Like It Like That.
	3:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If nothing else, I looked @ a Julie Newmar picture today...
	3:40pm Irwin: @Sean: It's true. Well, maybe not true, but close to the truth. Or perhaps unlikely. In point of fact, it's a load of rubbish, really. I think.
	👻 3:42pm G: I have to think about that.
	3:43pm Caryn: Should I be disturbed that I recognised this track from the opening chords alone?
	3:43pm paula pc: diggin it, absolutely
	👻 3:43pm rrg: Hole-Hearted? That old thing? What a nice idea.
	3:43pm as: wow! haven't heard this song in ages!!
	3:44pm Wretch: The song was greatly improved when they changed the lyric from "congenital defect".
	3:44pm phat: Whatever anybody says. I really like this song (and other Extreme songs).
	3:44pm Droll: Nuno is currently an A-List sideman, plays for Rihanna and gazillions of session dates. He's a total pro.
	3:44pm Carmichael: Whoops Caryn, that was a Freudian slip, I guess. I'm all whacked out on cold medicine. I meant Andy what's-his-face from FMU.
	👻 3:44pm G: The hole in my heart was filled with silk sutures when I was 3. You is too late.
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's a device comes to mind for plugging a hole...not a comment on the band that...
	3:46pm Caryn: "There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you..." said Gary Cherone to his cardiothoracic surgeon.
	👻 3:46pm G: This sounds like an early Magnetic Fields arrangement, totally salute to casio...
	3:47pm Caryn: @Carm: heh, I know.
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Nuno - explains that capable git-tar...
	3:49pm Caryn: @Droll: well, he was already an A-List sideman back then. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" comes to mind.
	3:49pm phat: Really, hole-hearted is a nearly perfect pop record. Thanks for playing that Irwin.
	3:51pm Caryn: @phat: well, the whole Pornograffiti album is pretty darn awesome. And to my mind, mostly at odds with its title (in terms of style).
	3:52pm Nisus: hole-hearted, longlong time ago, thanks!
	👻 3:53pm rrg: C'mon, it was 1991. Not so long ago. I even remember that year.
	3:59pm Dan B From Upstate: 1991 is equidistant to today as it is to the moon landing.
	4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Kurt Cobain's kid is all adult-like...
	4:02pm Caryn: Dammit, was recording "Searching for Sugarman" from the tv, and my DVR ran out of space after 30 minutes...
	👻 4:03pm G: Uplift time :)
	4:04pm Sean D. Daily: Boss is yelling right outside my window. Can't understand a dang thing...
	4:04pm Droll: What medical procedure? A WFMU Rectorotor? Honestly, that device must be 100% effective because anyone shown that in real life would shit themselves instantly.
	4:05pm Marmalade Kitty: is 9/11 a new dating system?
	4:06pm Marmalade Kitty: like BC AD..
	👻 4:08pm G: Call Recto Rooter, that's the name. There's only one!
	👻 4:10pm G: This Joe Frank installement may be short. I think I read somewhere that Smile was never finished.
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but many bits left behind !
	4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just heard Brian Wison's touring w/ Jeff Beck - why not throw Joe Frank in there...
	4:12pm Caryn: To pre-emptively try to stave off the depression that Joe Frank often brings up (and to coincide with the medical device at the top of the page), here's an uplifting medical story: www.news.com.au...
	4:12pm Sean D. Daily: Old-timey ads were awesome. So many spit-take opportunities.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Brian WiLson - w/ an 'L', will have nothing to do w/ it...
	👻 4:18pm G: Recto Rooter may be goin' in and out of style But it's guaranteed to raise a smile
	👻 4:19pm G: Gene Kelly's lawyer is on the phone.
	4:21pm Droll: Hole Hearted is equidistant between now and when RectoRooter was last raising smiles.
	4:22pm Sean D. Daily: ... although if you could laugh that loud, it would be TOTALLY AWESOME and you could be a supervillain with a name like Laffor. "He'll amuse you... TO DEATH."
	👻 4:23pm G: He forgot to have Michigan J. Frog do a song and dance in this montage of happiness.
	👻 4:24pm G: Recordings from the Joe Frank complaint line, LMFAO
	4:26pm steve: haha, G
	👻 4:26pm rrg: Nina Simone covering Bob. I like this program.
	4:27pm Carmichael: Nina Zimmerman ...
	4:31pm steve: yes! TP&OJ is truly the antidote to Joe Frank
	👻 4:32pm G: Jokerfan's articulateness and insight are especially endearing.
	4:32pm Whosondephone: Thank You!
	4:32pm northguineahills: Liz has told funny stories before.
	4:32pm common: Hee!
	4:33pm Droll: Is Jokerfan going through all the staff in order of seniority? Kinda like "This Is Your Life" set to music (and sourced on Wikipedia).
	4:34pm Irwin: I'll bet TP&OJF could write a song about ANYone. Who wants to bet? I've got ten dollars here that says he can do it.
	👻 4:35pm rrg: Only a few of us are old enough to actually remember "This Is Your Life".
	4:35pm Station Mgr Ken: Wow, the Jokerfan just made my YEAR!
	4:36pm Carmichael: How about me? Can he write a song about me, based solely on the info contained in my posts? I'll see your ten bucks, and raise you ten. It'll all go to the Komedy Klubhouse anyway.
	👻 4:37pm rrg: I'd love it if he wrote a song about, say, me. No, scratch that. It might miss the mark and upset me. And he'd have to do too much research (I have no Wikipedia page) so it wouldn't be worth his while. Though I'll bet Wild Man Fischer would have done it. For a quarter.
	4:37pm Droll: I wouldn't take that bet, but I would like to hear Jokerfan's tribute to Wesley Willis.
	4:38pm steve: he only writes about people he likes, no?
	👻 4:38pm G: @rrg: He always says "nice" and "great" etc. You wouldn't be terribly annoyed...
	4:42pm Droll: [Eyes popped out]
	4:42pm Caryn: Now that's a Marathon swag prize: all pledgers get a song written and recorded about them by TP&OJ.
	👻 4:43pm G: Holy cow, pop prog alert. Ken just dove to turn the sound off.
	4:44pm Andy: I would let my kids listen to this station.
	👻 4:44pm G: Irwin's dancing on a volcano today.
	4:44pm common: i love old genesis...even without peter gabriel. sorry.
	4:46pm Marmalade Kitty: This sounds a lot like The Cardiacs :)
	4:46pm Ted: First Extreme, now Phil-led Genesis!! And the scary thing is I've enjoyed both!! aahhhhhhHH!
	4:48pm Droll: As much as I dearly love Phil, I wish I had as nice things to say about his later career as I did Nuno's. Phil's son has a prog album out now that sounds VERY much like this era Genesis.
	👻 4:48pm rrg: I have a confession to make. I've discovered a foolproof way to avoid the Joe-Frank-induced blues. What I do is...I don't listen to these segments. I go away and work or make a cup of tea or something, and then I come back in a half-hour just in time for the return to Irwin jollity. And it's excellent tea (but it always is).
	👻 4:49pm rrg: This is from this century, right?
	👻 4:51pm G: @rrg: release date May 14, 2013
	👻 4:52pm rrg: I'll take that as a yes.
	4:53pm Caryn: And now I realise what's bugged me about this singer's voice but that I couldn't quite nail down: he sounds like Peter Gabriel when he goes for the loud bits.
	4:53pm Carmichael: Got a phone call when Genesis came on. All is well in my universe. That, and my patented John Denver Muting Circuit©.
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Michigan J. Frog' is in that category of things/people~nouns that I do think about - but forget the name of - then learn the name - then forget it again - then think about again - & so on.
	👻 4:54pm G: @rrg: Don't mention Yes, Ken will freak :)
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - straight to the heart of the sunrise.
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we could have M.J.Frog sing Yessongs...
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course, he'd only sing them when no else but Ken is looking...
	5:00pm Caryn: Oh look, Candi Staton is on tv. Sorry, Irwin, turning down the volume on you for a moment.
	👻 5:00pm rrg: Hey, was that an abbreviated station ID? Did anyone else hear it start with "Rockland County" and leave out what usually precedes that?
	5:00pm Carmichael: No one plays the sax anymore. This has to be from the late 80s.
	5:01pm Droll: What's TV? Some new kind of Facebook?
	5:02pm Caryn: And then Irwin ups the ante by putting this song on. Now I'm playing Pong with my volume buttons.
	5:04pm Caryn: The drunken stylings of Oscar Levant certainly deserve to have a song written about them.
	5:06pm ?: I want to buy a Rectorooter for Andy Breckman
	👻 5:06pm rrg: Sorry your DVR let you down, Caryn.
	👻 5:07pm rrg: Nashville? Did you drove or did you flew?
	5:08pm Caryn: @rrg: I console myself with the fact that there's bound to be a rerun some day.
	👻 5:11pm rrg: There's this Bobby Bare collection, and there's also another collection (contributions by many) called "Twistable, Turnable Man: A Musical Tribute to the Songs of Shel Silverstein". It says here.
	5:12pm Irwin: Hey, guys, gals and those of uncommitted gender: please hit the tipjar above the playlist so we can reach our goal. Support WFMU in all its multi-media manifestations. Thanks much.
	5:19pm Andy: Can you play some more Phil Collins?
	5:20pm TP&OJ: Hi! This is The Passionate & Objective Jokerfan. Thanks for playing my good songs on this nice show. If anyone has suggestions for songs on the next album, let me know: 603-644-0048 / moternmusic@hotmail.com
	5:20pm Andy: There's a fin in it for ya'.
	5:21pm Carmichael: Synthetic hand claps!! Yay!!
	5:21pm Carmichael: Abacab is about Andy's speed.
	5:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - so - a Manchester, NewHampshuh #...
	👻 5:22pm rrg: "I really should ignore ya, but damn it I adore ya." It grabs me.
	5:23pm TP&OJ: Yes! The Jokerfan started in NH. Also, there's a song about Wesley Willis on my debut album, SONGS ABOUT SINGERS.
	👻 5:24pm G: haven't heard this rip off tune since it was on the charts (72ish??)
	5:25pm Droll: TP&OJ, Keep up the excellent work -- I really appreciate all the effort that goes into recording music which will probably never be recognized. Thank you for remembering it's called "playing" for a reason.
	5:26pm Liz B.: Yay for the Suburban Lawns!
	👻 5:27pm rrg: Ah, but are you really Liz B.?
	5:27pm TP&OJ: Thank you, Droll. I've recorded more than 13,000 songs under various pseudonyms. Search "Motern Media" for more info.
	5:28pm Liz Berg: I was testing the beta version of our new Android app, sorry for appearing sketchy!
	5:31pm Carmichael: The iphone app works poifectly, Liz!
	5:31pm Irwin: That song always reminds me of Liz because she covered SubLawns with the H&M.
	5:31pm Whosondephone: I always get excited when that Tito Puente song comes on.
	5:32pm Green Mountain Man Mark: Good one Ken Stepping up on your impressions as you get better at comedy.
	👻 5:32pm rrg: Yes, works better than before, even.
	👻 5:33pm rrg: Now I have to get THIS. It's exhausting.
	5:37pm jan: I'm here working, enjoying your program and then Shakespeare enters my consciousness. Irwin, I guess it's your catholic tastes at work again...
	5:39pm laughingacademy: Yay, Neill Furio!
	5:41pm Ike: www.newyorker.com...
	5:41pm Laura L: Well, I'm gonna hafta turn the dial back on that rectorotor and catch the first 2 1/2 hrs. of the show on archive! Ditto Yay Neill Furio!
	👻 5:48pm rrg: I always love hearing bare piano.
	5:48pm dc waters: Sublime Joplin.
	5:48pm northguineahills: yo tambien, rrg....
	5:50pm Parq: Much like David Bowie loves bands when they play it hard, I love ragtime when they play it slowly.
	👻 5:51pm rrg: Another collection that I have to get, or at least seek out. Cut it out, Irwin.
	5:52pm Irwin: The Neilsen collection is 4 cds, everything Joplin composed. It's available digitally.
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - don't know much but this seems different then you often hear Joplin played...
	5:55pm dc waters: Depends on the song. Solace is always played at that speed AFAIK. Others are more of a romp.
	5:56pm Droll: Yeah Irwin, cut it out. I want you out of here by 6pm! And be polite to the Prog Police Officers (essential federal employees who are not furloughed) waiting outside the studio who want to talk to you about Trick of the Tail. Of course, all you need to do is show them that gorgeous Hipgnosis gatefold and they'll let you go.
	👻 5:57pm rrg: That's it? All right, then. Thanks, Mr. Irwin. The rest of you, write if you get work. See yez.
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - cheers dc waters.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Thx As Ever Irwin.
	5:58pm dc waters: ...if you get work. See yez.
	5:59pm Green Mountain Man Mark: there you go, Ken. better impression.
	5:59pm Sean D. Daily: Great show, Irwin. See you next week.
	5:59pm Green Mountain Man Mark: Now do one of Kenny G.
