Listener comments!

  3:01pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

dude....behind you...
  3:03pm
The Philosopher:

Now, what is the ethical thing to do when faced with such a scene. Shoot, or shout?
  3:04pm
The Philosopher:

By shooting I mean the camera, of course.
  3:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

He's giving Army a bad name with this display of stupidity...wait, does the mama bear have a Navy sweater on?...
  3:05pm
Matt from Springfield:

Philosopher: Always err on the side of humor.
  3:08pm
Matt from Springfield:

Marc Riley is pretty good. But the British accent is making me crave Professor Elemental.
  3:09pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

said Professor is taking his tea nowabouts
  3:12pm
annie:

wow, had to come on and just say.. wow.. transistor six!
  3:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Craving satisfied!
He's back from tea!
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

Nice music to prepare for winter.
  3:26pm
PMD:

If you guys wouldn't lick the microphones, you all wouldn't share so many germs.
  3:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

Had no idea Geoffrey was a MONKEY butler--he sure can wail on them skins for a monkey!

@Irwin: Have you convinced the good Prof. to come on the show when he's in NJ?
  3:33pm
Irwin:

Yes. He didn't need much convincing. Schedule permitting.
  3:36pm
Matt from Springfield:

YESSSSS! SPLENDID!!!! (I think he was trying to get you to ask him from the get-go, why else would he plan a trip to Jersey?)

After this he can be named Lord Gentleman Rhymer of the House of Lords.
  3:42pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

now you speaka ma lanaguage
  3:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Metro Mama! I think the phrase "Primitive Swagger" comes from this song. I'm a such an Amanda geek!
  3:48pm
Denise in DC:

DCE, but did he give you a Vegemite sandwich?
  3:50pm
seang:

sheila e. oh yeah
  3:50pm
Amandental:

I just know that one of these days one of Irwin's listeners is going to do a Prof Elemental/Amanda mashup.
  3:50pm
Denise in DC:

Sorry, that should have been "did he smile and give you a Vegemite sandwich?"
  3:52pm
Denise in DC:

Hey, speaking of incorrect music: I'm going to see John Waters do his live Xmas show tomorrow night.
  3:53pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Denise: Wow, does he do one every year? Is in DC, or his native Baltimore?
  3:53pm
postmanpaul:

Evening all. Great news about Prof Elemental popping in Urwin, what a scoop!
Caught him here in Brighton a few weeks back at a very intimate venue and he was superlative. Mentioned that you were exposing him, he smiled.
Nice to hear Neil Hannon featured too, Urwin.
  3:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: I don't know about no Jews on paper money--Ulysses Grant looks like he could be part Jewish.

And WFMU has the CAJONES for so much more than seguing into Amanda! In fact that is no longer courageous, but expected.
  3:57pm
Denise in DC:

Matt, this show is at the Birchmere (outside of DC, for you non-locals). I understand that he does a very few shows every year -- this year he's doing five, none of which are in Charm City. http://www.dreamlandnews.com/news/index.shtml
  3:57pm
PMD:

Ack, this song is making me dizzy! (wearing headphones)
  3:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

There is always something good at the Birchmere, Denise! I've been there many times.
  3:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

@PMD: "Beehive State"? That's Utah...this Money Bee is one crazy artist! Part rapper, part parody, part delusional...
  4:01pm
Aharon:

I sort of feel like I could listen to Money Bee for 24 hours at a time (or maybe already am?).
  4:02pm
PMD:

@Matt, yes, honey bee. Whew.
  4:05pm
glenn:

where's the picture from?
  4:07pm
glenn:

i'm assuming it's not from "how not to piss off mama bear for dummies".
  4:07pm
PMD:

@glenn... searched online and just found a site that voted on whether it was photoshopped or not.

And btw, ran across this on Wikipedia:
Bears are almost always gay or bisexual men, although increasingly transgender men (transmen) and those who shun labels for gender and sexuality are also included within bear communities.
  4:09pm
PMD:

Oh, Irwin, for Christmas you could give me a segue from Alice in Chains to Miley Cyrus.
  4:09pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Alice in...really...
  4:14pm
glenn:

i guess a better question would have been where can i find this picture?
  4:16pm
PMD:

@glenn - google man holding bear cub
  4:17pm
glenn:

otay.
  4:19pm
aaron in chicago:

wish i could still stay up and listen to ken nordine on morning mornings
  4:24pm
Wikipedia:

Ken Nordine turned 90 April 13th of this year.
  4:24pm
If you're gonna be dumb...:

postmanpaul:

Enjoying the show very much while designing our Christmas card, Irwin. Seriouse apols for cocking-up spelling your name incorrectly.....dyslexia in action.
  4:26pm
Robert:

Funny, but ISTR his having billed himself briefly as Val Nordine. Probably my bad hearing and a worse radio.
  4:27pm
Bill:

The comments are also prerecorded.
  4:27pm
PMD:

You are Irwin until 6:00. But then what do you become?
  4:31pm
Eminence Front:

Join the club Irwin, I'm also a put on.
  4:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

I just noticed how much of today's show features music from the British Isles.
  4:43pm
glenn:

ya know, looking back on it, cream was pretty great, even if white room and sunshine blah blah are WAY overplayed.
  5:02pm
Mama Grizzly:

Put Bristol down, you Lower-48 pussyboy.
  5:04pm
PMD:

Iris!
  5:05pm
Optician:

Pupil!
  5:07pm
Betty:

White!
  5:07pm
Optician:

I don't see.
  5:12pm
Troublemaker:

Does the Old Codger cotton to Irwin stealing his tuneage?
  5:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Go Okeh! The original Mississippi John Hurt recordings were on the Okeh label. I'm impressed as well with Vaughn De Leath.
  5:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

GO LAD-EH! You're no bummer, CHILD!
  5:14pm
Matt:

DONT MESS WITH THE POWER CHILD!
  5:15pm
glenn:

amanda sorta sounds like an angry grizzly.
  5:16pm
PMD:

nasty garbage, smells like crap. what a bummer!
  5:16pm
Matt:

Mom says take it out, WHAT A BUMMER
  5:16pm
dlacey:

please stop that!!!!
  5:17pm
PMD:

@THanks Betty. I didn't get Optician's joke. caffeine needed.
  5:17pm
glenn:

i still prefer jenny lewis.
  5:18pm
France:

We prefer Jerry Lewis
  5:21pm
irwin's penis:

sex change operation? no one told me.
  5:22pm
Surgeon:

Of course not, you little dick.
  5:23pm
Robert:

I was afraid he was going to say, "Kenny G." And he said, "Kenny G."
  5:24pm
Irwin:

I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry.
  5:27pm
Fill-In Monitor:

The show should have a slightly different feel, given that Kenny G is unfamiliar with such concepts as tune, melody, or even music, period.
  5:29pm
zombie:

dear stoners. please stop with the drugs already. eating your brains is affecting my liver. and giving me the munchies, ironically enough.
  5:33pm
Matt from Springfield:

The Bats--I remembered they were Flying Nun!
Kiwi Rock lives on at this station!
  5:34pm
Stephen Colbert's Xmas Special:

@zombie:
Willie Nelson! What are you doing here?
>>Stephen, I'm SO high--YOU'RE hallucinating!
  5:36pm
AnAnonymousParty:

This is a cool treatment of Powerhouse.
  5:36pm
Termite Terrace Boys:

Where's Bugs Bunny?
  5:37pm
Robert:

Interesting. It conjures up the image of a pneumatic or possibly steam powerhouse, rather than one of gears, etc. as the usual instrumentation does.
  5:41pm
zombie:

also ironically, when i was not undead i was a straight edge vegan. now i can't stand the sight of tofurkey. or kale.
  5:42pm
Matt from Springfield:

Digging this NP!
  5:43pm
Sparks:

Play us! We have some great music, and we need the royalties, what with christmas and all that.
  5:51pm
vegan zombie:

you just go after the vegans and eat whatever is in their entrails full of veggies. and you can eat their brains too because they are not meaty.
  5:53pm
vegan zombie:

vegetable brains are ok to eat if you are a vegan zombie
  5:55pm

  5:59pm
