Is this program...waterproof? Does it require a new headphone jack?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm
Ike:

During the Tom Wilson "fill-in" on Monday, I got curious and googled him. That led me to the Texas Monthly article where you, Irwin, are quoted saying, "He didn’t want a handout, and didn’t claim victimhood because his skin was black."

Sometimes you really ARE a tedious ideologue with a hustle.

You should read more about Wilson, Ike. I was paraphrasing his own words. You can really be a tedious reactionary.

I love you, Ike, in all your tedious reactionariness.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:20pm
Ike:

You seem defensive about your words. Do you feel the need to point out that you were paraphrasing him because you can see that what you said looks pretty bad, or are you willing to own what you said? Hiding behind "I was paraphrasing a black guy so it's okay" is weak tea.

Irwin:

I gave Ken Music Factory ep2 because he needed to plug a one-hour gap. It was not a good show. Wilson and Odetta spent too much of the hour laughing uproariously about not a lot of funny. I think Odetta was nervous and Wilson was trying to make her comfortable.

Lyle:

The Duke of Iron. A Wilkes-Barre native, if I am not mistaken. A neighbor of Rupert Holmes and often cited as the influence for the song, "Him." Fun Fact: He was Michael Pollard's stepfather, and he even had a cameo in the movie "Skeeters." It's a brief scene where he is impaled by a giant mosquito's proboscis in the men's room of a Stuckey's just outside of Lima, Ohio. He would later briefly serve as a spokesperson for Certs until Retsyn abuse sidelined him in 1977. Lost touch with him after that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:16pm
Irwin:

Was that a typo, Linda? I can fix it. Or is that a term of qualitative supremacy I've missed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:17pm
Irwin:

Lyle -- Yes, that was the Duke. It's amazing how much you know about these obscure cultural figures.

Thanks for keeping these comments open to potshots at yourself. But let's be honest: you love it. You're just a little like Trump in that respect.

Bowling teammates? Ha. Okay. I like that. I'll give that an ROTFL.

i adore your show the most Irwin! i would never refer to your show as anything like a shit show. apologies!!

Good Rats. Always heard about them when I was younger. Aren't they a Long Island band? I realize I could Google it, but I prefer to operate in the fog of memory. More fun. Great show, Irwin. You are one of the most colorful pieces of candy in the FMU dish!

Peppi is missed - up until his passing in '13, he used to do lots of local gigs around Long Island here, with his two sons...what a set of pipes!

I was there, Bill, at least a dozen times. They were like a house band at the Place. Always entertaining. The records never quite conveyed what they could present live.

I thought you said On Returning's suck rate was 4 out of 31? That's about 12%, which isn't bad.

Perhaps the suck rate algorithm includes factors for weighting suck value of some tunes versus others?

@Dean That could be. I have the album, though, and I can't think of a track that would deserve a large Suck weighting. Further research may be required.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:31pm
Parq:

Well, there's jazz and then there's that yuppie easy listening music that passes for jazz in most outlets (including, I gotta say, most of WBGO's programming). I'm not much for brunch at restaurants (when it comes to Sunday, I like sitting around in my pajamas until 2 pm), but if I did go to a brunch and it turned out to be a jazz brunch, I would neither run screaming nor expect to hear any worthwhile music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:31pm

I'd be willing to try a jazz brunch once. If the musicians are doing the cooking and the chefs playing jazz, then maybe not, though.
