This Neil Cowley reminds me of The Bad Plus, down to the Dave King-style drumming. I like it, though...

jesus was a gay, socialist, jewish, muckraking, anti-establishment troublemaker. he embodied everything the religious right hates, so for the life of me, i can't figure out why they love him so much.

@Glenn-if you truly wonder about this I suggest you find an open minded right-wing Christian in your area and engage them with that question. You are likely to be surprised.

no, i don't care. i don't believe in god, and nothing will change that. and besides, there is no such thing as an open minded right wing christian, especially in my area.

@Glenn-or not. Whatever, dude.

Listener Robert:

Same with Amanda as with Jandek: OK as irritainment once per piece. Maybe a reminder once every other year. But not as regular punishment.

Interesting, there appears to be another Amanda Whitt (there are several of course, but I mean one in particular) who fancies herself an expert on coffee and has a crowdfunding campaign afoot to get her a TEDD Talk gig.
Avatar 4:08pm
Wild Neil:

Jandek uses special tunings of his own devising and is very secretive about who he is...among other things...
  4:09pm
Listener Robert:

He's a recording performer-composer whom Irwin built up an air of mystery about. I noticed recently a performance of his had been caught on video by Poopy Lungstuffing in Houston, figured Irwin might be interested, but fortunately he no longer is.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:10pm
Parq:

Oh Irwin, if you'd only known in 1988 (ca.) when you introduced Jandek ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:12pm
Irwin:

1988? 1978!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:13pm
Parq:

Really? I don't remember him prior to the "Atrocious Music" segments, but I yield to your (obviously) superior knowledge of the point.
Avatar 4:13pm
MenfussMike:

I would be a secretive too if I was Jandek. Secretive and quiet.
  4:17pm
Listener Robert:

I don't even recall him from the Atrocious Music segments, just Irwin playing him "straight", until one day in the last decade Irwin pronounced Jandek no longer cool, to the relief of the audience.
Avatar 4:18pm
Wild Neil:

@Irwin-cool show, very eclectic yet listenable.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 4:29pm
chris:

Irwin, please resurrect your incorrect music segment... your show it too listenable these days. ;-)
Avatar 4:30pm
Wild Neil:

@Chris-honestly I hated some of it, but I try to put positive comments on her so as not to bum out musicians who come here to read comments about their work.

Carmichael:

I actually enjoy Jandek and Amanda. They bring a strangeness and inventiveness to my otherwise formulaic and dreary musical world.

Jesus, I just sounded like Ben Fong effing Torres there. Sorry ...
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 4:37pm
chris:

incorrect music (Irwin's show in general, for that matter) is curatorial excellence. at once historical and introspective. brilliant stuff.

Thomas is a great example. thanks, Irwin!

Thank you, Irwin, that was swell.

I think Mrs. Miller got conflated with Martha Mitchell, who was indeed both incorrect & atrocious.

Seriously, I mixed them up at the time.

but really, i thought linda lee could put solar panels on the roof of her barn and use them as a display so as not to miss irwin's playlis.

I think we got the idea from its context, glenn.

Germans are better? (ask Ken?) but the content translation tool allows you to steal their work at the click of a button, worth looking into if you are creating Wikipedia pages.
