WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from August 29, 2018

Listener comments!
	3:02pm Michael 98145: i'll have the Grand Royale, please.
	3:04pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: "Free handshakes for Seniors and Veterans"! Wow, sign me up!
	3:04pm Passaic River Blues: This feels like detail-rich anti-Hibernian concept art. As a shambling Irish-American and noted starch glutton, I'll take three potato shakes and a commemorative limited edition poster.
	3:05pm zed lippman: "Ka-pow!"
	3:05pm geezerette: ...and then you dance the Mashed Potao...
	3:06pm geezerette: ...potato...waiter, more coffee please.
	3:08pm Kat in Chicago: Potatoes Like Us
	3:08pm Robert Tables: Call POtato 9-2571 to make a reservation
	3:08pm Dean: I met Mickey Rooney at Santa Anita Racetrack.
	3:08pm geezerette: How can that not be from Mad Magazine. Huh?
	3:08pm Last White Rhino: Do fries come with that "potato" shake ????
	3:09pm Parq: People Like Us -- no substitutions.
	👻 3:09pm AnAnonymousParty: While I'm disappointed that the Grand Royale does not come on a bed of hash-browns, but I still want to know the recommended wine-pairing.
	3:10pm geezerette: that would be vodka...
	3:11pm Laura L: Noticing the lack of hash browns scattered, smothered, chunked, and covered, Waffle House must have opened up down the street from Mickey's.
	👻 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Tell 'em Mickey sent ya!
	3:11pm zed lippman: "The potato is the egalitarian: honest, without ostentation or pretension, plain in form, reliable in function, it'll make the most of hard land and it carries with it an intrinsic decency." - A.A. Gill From a listener and member in Maine.
	3:12pm Passaic River Blues: The incongruities multiply like demons. "Live Drumming Sunday Nights"? What does that mean? Eat six pounds of potatoes and watch a Mickey Rooney-led drum circle? Eat twelve pounds and Mickey'll pat juba until his hands bleed? Also, "Happy ½ Hour"? Mickey, you cheap bastard.
	3:12pm LunchboxTA: hello all
	👻 3:13pm AnAnonymousParty: It puts "would you like fries with that" in a whole new light.
	3:15pm Last White Rhino: Dan Quayle was a frequent customer of Potato Fantasy.
	👻 3:15pm AnAnonymousParty: It was one of Richard Feynman's faves, he always spent enough to scarf some free bread, and all the carbs gave him the stamina to beat on the conga drums for hours and hours.
	3:15pm Passaic River Blues: Anyway, I want to shake the hand of this Clarington Shpoo character.
	3:16pm Dean: Looks like the site of Potato Fantasy is now an elementary school.
	3:16pm Undead83: Now I checked for a list of songs with 'potato' on the the title, and to my surprise there are plenty of good ones
	3:18pm geezerette: s69.photobucket.com... link to shpoo :D
	3:18pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: For a minute i actually thought that ad was real. Wow.
	3:19pm Irwin: Thanks to Jeff Grimshaw and Alison Porchnik for the playlist pic alert.
	3:19pm listenerSeaninLongValley: Oh the first blondie record was my favorite!!!
	3:19pm zed lippman: There's a Maine novelty hit by The Wicked Good Band titled The Potato Pickin Song. A "re-hash" of Harry Belafonte's Day O.
	3:23pm crateslinger: So hungry.
	3:24pm jake6573: hello room
	3:24pm Dean: I remember hearing the first Blondie record for the first time at the Virgin Records store near Hyde Park corner. When I returned home to California, I promptly acquired it.
	👻 3:24pm AnAnonymousParty: Walter Cronkite refused to eat at Mickeys because he considered himself a 'journalist' and didn't want to be seen in a place that served what were primarily just common taters.
	3:24pm jake6573: love this song
	3:26pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @AAP-To the penitentiary with him!
	3:26pm jake6573: Blondie will be appearing at the sea, hear. surf festival in Asbury park, think its the 29th, you can google it
	3:27pm berbo: "I can't find my mind"
	3:32pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @AAP-I meant Punintentary. Sorry!
	3:34pm Spankyflop: Thanks for introducing me to Princess Chelsea. I took a deep dive over the last week. Wonderful stuff!!
	3:35pm Irwin: Belated discovery on my part. She's great. Very DIY.
	3:38pm Smokestack: Hell yes
	3:40pm geezerette: Favorite Waits!
	3:41pm zenundone: at what point does potato fantasy become potato obsession?
	3:41pm Irwin: When the Waits song started, there were ten (10) clickystars from previous airings. When the song finished, there were nine. Someone unclickystarred the track. Ingrate!
	👻 3:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: @jake - Blondie on 9/29 confirmed. www.seahearnowfestival.com Many more bands, too.
	3:42pm geezerette: wasn't me! :D
	3:42pm Stanley: "Free handshakes for Seniors and Veterans"! What, everyone else has to pay?
	👻 3:42pm AnAnonymousParty: WTH, I'll give it a click.
	3:43pm SSS: Well, that unclicker probably DOESN'T know karate OR voodoo!!!
	3:43pm geezerette: ahhhhh...Jass. :)
	3:43pm jake6573: @Ken, Thank you !
	👻 3:43pm AnAnonymousParty: @Stanley, Nope, you just get the cold shoulder from Mickey as he stares up his nose at you.
	👻 3:45pm Listening Out There: Good stuffs so far...including Mickey's...not so sure about the potatoes, however...
	3:46pm andrewb: darn, missed my favorite Blondie track. On the bright side I also missed The Fall
	3:54pm melinda: hi all
	3:54pm geezerette: potatos & drum rolls
	3:59pm Dean: https://www.reddit.com/r/devo/comments/3qkc3q/new_to_devo_whats_the_deal_with_devo_and_potatoes/
	4:02pm Planet Tyler: O no not again........
	4:05pm Jeff Moore: It seems like there's been a Liz Phair resurgence recently! (Or has it just been Irwin doing it?)
	4:06pm Irwin: New album of her early demos getting rotation.
	4:07pm Jeff Moore: Ah.
	4:08pm Dean: Now I have a hankering for Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher."
	4:10pm andrewb: Just when I figured the Twigs were over the hill
	4:15pm Fredericks: No Tipping Ever!
	4:20pm Dean: Now I have a hankering for Aerosmith's "Kings and Queens." And anything by Camarosmith.
	4:21pm The Oscar: Slammed with work, but thought I should show my avatar for this one.
	4:23pm Kat in Chicago: Nice, Oscar!
	4:23pm Michael 98145: did not expect that
	4:23pm andrewb: Pretty sure a fellow named Bob Moss has been writing the Sesame Street music for ever. Oscars original is one of the best but this is a nice one too
	4:25pm Stevel: One of the great moments of my experiential musical life was being at the Indy 500 (as a photographer) the year Steven Tyler sang the national anthem. Never a strong fan, it was an impressive and perfect interpretation, given Mr. Tyler's services had been requested. www.youtube.com...
	4:28pm Carmichael: Who has fear of beer??? Really?
	4:35pm Dean: You can't get any more goddamn heteronormative than Frank Sinatra and The Mentors.
	4:37pm Dean: The truth is he ran out of GIFs.
	4:38pm spodiodi: lol, Dean
	4:39pm Michael 98145: it ain't easy, constructing those frame by frame
	4:42pm Parq: Rubén González is colossal.
	4:49pm geezerette: The whole concept of microagressions gives me macroagression mixed with ennui. Perhaps it's the humidity.
	4:54pm miketp: good jason.good evening Irwin and the rest of all of us
	4:57pm Asheville Jon: ohhhhh my, i am having a potato fantasy right now!
	4:57pm Laura L: Thanks for playing Clientele, Irwin.
	4:58pm Irwin: 4U, LL.
	5:00pm Mike tp: I seen the clientele perform live in Portland some months ago....they were fabulous the opening band was eztv s young pop band from brooklyn.they were very fine also.tight set....
	5:10pm LunchboxTA: i have it on good information that lettuce is a funghi
	5:12pm Irwin: May Blitz drummer: Tony Newman. Look him up.
	5:13pm Dean: Lettuce is an auxiliary verb. Exs.: Lettuce pray. Lettuce entertain you.
	5:14pm Asheville Jon: Lettuce, Turnip, and Pea
	5:18pm jess: fabulous mashup!
	5:20pm Mark in Toronto: You mean fabulous potato mashup!
	5:22pm Fredericks: Seems like a long time since I heard any Harumi on this show.
	5:22pm Fredericks: I thought I posted that last comment an hour ago.
	5:23pm Fredericks: The only Babe Ruth song I care for.
	5:25pm Dean: Puts me in mind of Isotope with Gary Boyle, a species of fusion that leans toward rock.
	5:25pm Monica: hello, irwin and irwinistas. the "feels like" temp in nyc is currently 102°.
	5:26pm Fredericks: My kind of fusion.
	5:28pm Irwin: Freezing in this damned studio, Mo. Curses.
	5:30pm andrewb: @Dean. You made me all nostalgic for the Mentors whos "heteronomativety" seemed much more of an act compared to Old Blue Eyes. Though it's hard to think of a more macho death than being hit by a freight train.
	5:31pm dale: hello dere. been painting outdoors all day and i come home to my house at 83 inside. music and a cold cocktail makes it betterer.
	5:31pm dale: ..and is the potato fantasy lounge for real?
	5:32pm Michael 98145: no beer fear here
	5:33pm Dean: @andrewb: The Mentors' "Woman from Sodom" genuinely embarrasses me when I (rarely) play it. OTOH, I giggle every time I reflect upon the stupid pun that is the title of their "You Axed for It" album. [Giggle.] Alas, I never saw them, but I did see Fear at Al's Bar when El Duce made a guest appearance.
	5:35pm Dean: A listener on Jeff G.'s show this past weekend nominated Carla Bley as a candidate for a set devoted to living greats in lieu of waiting for a post-mortem tribute.
	5:36pm dale: wow - mickey had a lot of boondoggles suck his money away. thelifeandtimesofhollywood.com...
	5:42pm Irwin: Dean: Seconded!
	5:43pm geezerette: what a pure sound.
	5:46pm Irwin: It's like taters in a deep fryer!
	5:47pm maestroso: That Carla Bley piece was wonderful. I have a lot of her music but I don't think I have that.
	5:47pm Irwin: "Was"? Still has six minutes to go.
	5:49pm maestroso: Ok, wow. Is.
	5:49pm maestroso: What year is this from?
	5:50pm geezerette: Wayne Shorter turned 85 last week, I think. Still here!
	5:50pm Irwin: 1993.
	5:51pm Dean: Jeff's playing of Shorter tunes in honor of his birthday prompted the discussion about greats who are still with us.
	5:51pm maestroso: Thanks, Irwin. I think I must acquire it.
	5:51pm Irwin: Marshall Allen, McCoy Tyner ...
	5:52pm Dean: Seems to me a mash-up on Mary Wing's show featured Balanescu, the violinist on this track.
	5:53pm Michael 98145: well, thank you again, Irwin
	5:55pm Dean: Others mentioned Threadgill, Braxton, Dave Holland...
	5:57pm geezerette: Thanks Irwin. :) Thanks, gang.
	5:58pm maestroso: Great show, thank you Irwin.
	5:58pm Asheville Jon: thanks for another super fine show Irwin!
	6:24am DL in LA: That Carla Bley track was stellar!
