WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from October 19, 2011

Listener comments!
	3:02pm Matt from Springfield: Hey Irwin! Diggin' the Jim Flora--I know you've dug him for a while!
	3:03pm Mussel: I'm feeling so isolated, sitting here on a cermaic plate...
	3:05pm Customer: Then let me down you with an elegant hand gesture.
	3:07pm Mussel: Covered in hot brine...wait, that Customer, what's he doing? He's not rescuing me, OH NO HELP! (echoes, fades)
	3:08pm Matt from Springfield: "Gentlemen, I Neglected to Inform You You Will Not Be Getting Paid"..Sounds like one of Irwin's previous show titles.
	3:12pm Dead Corporate Eyes: I am discovering plot holes
	3:14pm Garrison Keillor: This is a better story than I ever told!!
	3:15pm still b/p: Had to get my Kindle realigned when I was going too fast and hit a major plot hole.
	3:16pm das: Sounds like a Scott Thompson's Buddy Cole character
	3:17pm Brass Knuckles: That is the worst Irwin impersonation I've ever heard.
	3:18pm Garrison Keillor: Can anyone recommend a great 'shroom pizza!
	3:18pm Matt from Springfield: b/p: If you shake that Kindle too hard, the words move around and you get a story like that one.
	3:20pm Dan and Joel: Have you heard our new ad with a hard-rock music bed? No shit! We are now TOTALLY "WITH IT" and have our eyes on Flo's demo!
	3:21pm Garrison Keillor: Is that Eddie and Flo?
	3:21pm Flo: Yeah, well just remember, neither one of you can be within 300 yds of me. Judge's orders.
	3:22pm Dan and Joel: We heard that certain assholes were going around saying we were stale and out of date and way past worn out. FUCK THAT SHIT.
	3:22pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, this is all from the same Brian Protheroe track? This is most remarkable...
	3:23pm Dan and Joel: @Flo: Can you give us an example, BITCH.
	3:23pm Garrison Keillor: Damn the cops are here again. They must have smelled the weed. I will tell them I was cooking with arugula. Be right back. Brought to you by the Ketchup Council.
	3:24pm Matt from Springfield: And Dan and Joel, it sounds like they're in an action movie! Dan: This is Dan Tullis! And I just blasted... Joe: YOUR - HEAD! (fire machine guns)
	3:27pm Dan and Joel: @Matt: You got it, dude. Massive blockbuster Hollywood movie upcoming, with us as the standard black-white cop partners.
	3:28pm Dan and Joel: Go ahead, give the DJ a widgie.
	3:29pm Samuel L. Jackson & John Malkovich: The competition's fierce for those most prized roles, so we're working hard for the audition.
	3:29pm Garrison Keillor: Front or back widgie?
	3:30pm Pseudonyms: Seems everyone prefers to chat using us today instead of their usual monikers.
	3:31pm Sue D. Nimm: Huh?
	3:31pm Garrison Keillor: Hey I am a Lutheran and Norwegian-American, so I am honest and love fish.
	3:31pm Characters: @Pseudonyms: Ever occur to you they may be using US, to express themselves creatively?? Gawd, you're such a jerk!
	3:32pm G: Creativity? Who dat?
	3:32pm Dictionary: @Garrison: You've already contributed "Lake Wobegon syndrome" to us, just retire already!
	3:33pm Pseudoku: Yeah, puzzling.
	3:33pm Garrison Keillor: is this Gordon Gecko from the the Belligerent Ladies? I can't retire The New Yorker wont take any of my stories either.
	3:36pm G: There are rules! Don't use a name of someone who remotely might really post on FMU.
	3:37pm Dan B From Upstate: There are rules?
	3:38pm Walter Sobchak: This is not nam, there are rules.
	3:38pm G: Customs. Common sense (if you got it, smoke it)
	3:38pm John Allen Paulos, WSJ: Technically, of course, almost everybody can be above average; in fact, almost everybody has two arms, which is slightly more than the average number of arms.
	3:38pm Dan B From Upstate: I mean aside from the unstated but widely accepted "don't be a dick."
	3:39pm Dead Corporate Eyes: well, you can be a dick, but you have to have a certain panache to do it right.
	3:39pm Matt from Springfield: This is an interesting Harry Nilsson, never heard this one before.
	3:39pm Peter O'Toole: Despite what my name would indicate, I am no dick.
	3:40pm abby: this is from the movie, 'the point.'
	3:40pm Your DJ Types: What about logical incongruences? Like me appearing on the page of a DJ who never uses me?
	3:40pm G: @Matt: Sacrcasm will get you everywhere.
	3:41pm Ratso Rizzo: Not one of Harry's finest
	3:41pm Dead Corporate Eyes: this was also used for promoting a poorly designed mid-70s Dodge
	3:41pm still b/p: Is that the same version Harry had in Top 40 rotation in the early 70s? Seems different.
	3:42pm Ratso: KEY, I'M POSTIN' HEAH!!!!
	3:42pm Carmichael: Nilsson's song was very contextual. If you saw The Point, you'd understand it more, and probably appreciate it just as more.
	3:42pm Ted Nugent: Now, let me tell you about MY arrow.
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks abby! I've heard the unusual narrations from The Point before, but not any of the regular songs. @G: No sarcasm, I actually like certain Harry Nilsson songs.
	3:43pm Harry Nilsson: I admit that Arrow song sucked
	3:43pm Brass Knuckles: Regarding this song/band, is there a term called "safe rock?"
	3:44pm John Lennon: Yeah, Harry, who knew.
	3:44pm Dustin Hoffman: Matt from S'field, that song is from a Nilsson piece that became a movie I voiced called "The Point". Wikipedia says that contractual problems arose with my voice-tracks, and all later versions of the movie use a different actor.
	3:44pm Harry Nilsson: John you had a few clunkers too. But your fans won't admit that.
	3:45pm Carmichael: There was a pretty good tribute album a few years back, For the Love of Harry. Randy Newman, The Roches, Adrian Belew, Joe Ely, etc ... Fred Schneider does a kick-ass rock version of Lime in the Coconut.
	3:46pm Harry Nilsson: So did Flip Wilson
	3:46pm G: @Matt: Sorry, I assumed sarcasm because it's a native language on comments boards, and in addition that Me and My Arrow song was heavily, heavily played when it was on the charts!
	3:46pm Matt from Springfield: @Dustin: Didn't know you did the narrations, then again I might have heard the different actor's voice--have to check that out.
	3:46pm Ringo: The Nilsson doc is pretty good and well worth your time and it's streaming on Netflix.
	3:46pm You know my name: Look up the number.
	3:47pm John Lennon's toilet (Net worth $35,000,000)): Yer full of it
	3:47pm Frank Zappa: So who wants to hear Rat Tomago?
	3:48pm Dead Corporate Eyes: y'ins is outta control
	3:48pm G: My, aren't we energetic this afternoon. All-day rain in NYC is keeping people inside off the streets and at computers, perhaps.
	3:48pm Noddy Holder: Hellooooo everybody!!!!
	3:50pm Frank Zappa: You need the secret decoder ring to figure out the track numbers.
	3:50pm John Lennon: Frank Zappa stole Rat Tomago from my album Live in NY.
	3:50pm Matt from Springfield: @G: You're right about the 'native language' part; however I'm 26 and never heard the original when it was overplayed.
	3:51pm Sysiphus: There is no safe rock.
	3:51pm Decoder Ring: Drink more Ovaltine
	3:51pm Frank Zappa: No you and Yoko with Phil Spector, stole King Kong from me. I made that mistake to invite you on stage.
	3:52pm Marshall McLuhan: Using pseudonyms taken from names of deceased celebrities is acceptable to the rules, as it immediately indicates a conceptual joke.
	3:52pm Carmichael: Another hour or so of this banter, and everyone will suddenly peter out and vanish.
	3:52pm Woody Allen: You nothing about Marshall McLuhan
	3:53pm Woody Allen: Hey Hoagy chill out
	3:53pm Yoko Ono: Frank, you are scumbag
	3:53pm still b/p: The moniker is the message.
	3:54pm Mark Zuckerberg: This is why I think it's best people are only allowed one identity on the web.
	3:54pm AnAnonymousParty: Don't fall for that "if you ain't part of the solution, you're part of the problem" crap. Objective observers fulfill a vital role. Don't bow to peer pressure.
	3:54pm Facebook: Many people have multiple accounts.
	3:55pm Frank Zappa: Well I do give you credit for accelerating the Beatles demise. Kudos
	3:56pm Jimmy Carl Black: I'm the indian of the group
	3:56pm Matt from Springfield: @Mark: Cited as one reason you prevailed over MySpace--an .edu email was required (including when I joined), so there were less joke and alias pages. But what about now? It's slowly going to become less controlled over time.
	3:56pm AnAnonymousParty: Sounds like Fountains of Wayne don't fear the reaper.
	3:57pm Chaos: Come to the dark side!
	3:57pm Netflix: We are fixing our recent mistakes! You can now stream from our combined music and movie service. Special this week: Three Coins in the Fountains of Wayne
	3:58pm Pools of Ho Ho Kus: I wish our band was as successful as the Fountains
	3:59pm Napster: Spare any change for a cup of starbuck?
	4:01pm Septic Tanks of JC: @Pools: YOU have problems?
	4:01pm Justin Bond as Kiki LuRaine: I've done a nifty version of "Coconuts" too. Irwin's played it. Just saying.
	4:01pm Owen WIlson: Hey is Woody still here? I need my paycheck.
	4:02pm Shep: D.Ring, appreciate the shout-out.
	4:04pm Alcohol: So anyone up for a party?
	4:05pm bananas: wow, this comment board is me today.
	4:07pm Tom Carvel: Yeah bananas, you better split. Dont forget Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: It's always Empire Le Funkytown when Amanda's playing!
	4:11pm Luke Wilson: I don't even understand what's going on here. Is there anyone here that can help me?
	4:11pm Old HIckory: hey Bananas, Hey Alcohol. What time is that thing? i'm dressing up like all the Pointer Sisters
	4:11pm Lipps Inc: What Matt said!
	4:12pm das: Can somebody explain to me the significance of Mimi in the lyrics of Amanda?
	4:12pm Billy Ocean: Wow, Old Hickory I think the party starts now!
	4:13pm Matt from Springfield: @das: When Amanda sings as "Amanda", she calls the character "Mimi Cookie".
	4:14pm Tom Scholz: Yes and I wrote a song about her
	4:15pm Owen Wilson: What kind of orange background is that? I want to say it's Tangelo, but it could be a Mardigras Gold.
	4:16pm Martha Stewart: Pumpkin!
	4:16pm New Jersey State Color Authority: It's either West Orange or East Orange.
	4:16pm Harry Belafonte: I think it's mango.
	4:17pm Amandaddict: I'll tell YOU when I've had enough! Judge of quality--I'll be the judge of QUANTITY! I need MORE!!! I'm jonesin' man!!
	4:18pm The Web: Leave me alone
	4:19pm jaycjay: Not just you, Irwin. There actually are some high-level network issues today: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm
	4:19pm AnAnonymousParty: 590 nanometers
	4:20pm UCB: I am across the streeet from an S&M club. Only $20 before midnight there.
	4:21pm The Heart: This is exciting--in the sense that this jazzy rhythm is causing me to beat a little faster.
	4:22pm Free Clinic: Just down the street too! Come get tested TODAY!
	4:22pm das: Thanks fer explaining my Amanda query, Matt.
	4:23pm Irwin: @jaycjay: can you explain those #'s to me? curious.
	4:23pm Hip Hep C: Hey are you trying to get rid of me?
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: @JCJ: Interesting, never knew about the website. No problems with me, but Virginia (Ashburn) is running at 93, so I seem to be one of the luckier ones.
	4:25pm Matt from Springfield: Anytime, das.
	4:26pm Internet: I'm not slow. I'm bandwidth challenged.
	4:27pm G: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_backbone
	4:27pm the Organ: Jimmy, you make me feel so ALIVE!
	4:28pm Al Gore: Shut up, I own you Internet!
	4:28pm jaycjay: It might be more clear if you look at the index page that North America's performance right now is notably sub-par: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/
	4:28pm the Drums: take it easy, Art! that hurts!
	4:29pm Kirk Lazarus: This comment board has gone full retard.
	4:30pm Second Life: Love your show Irwin. Are you ever going to broadcast on Second Life? I know the web is slow, but that is no excuse.
	4:30pm jaycjay: @Irwin, the FAQ on the site explains it all as well or better than I could: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/faq.htm
	4:34pm 1994: Is it still funny to yell "Skynryd" at concerts?
	4:35pm Dead Corporate Eyes: People are still doing that, even at noise shows. it's so un-funny it's ridic.
	4:35pm Walter Cronkite: Don't ask me.
	4:36pm jaycjay: Never heard anyone yell "Skynyrd" at a concert. It was actually "Free Bird!" But in any case, no. Not funny.
	4:37pm 1974: What about the fake arrow through the head, that's still funny right?
	4:37pm Robert Plant: How abot Stairway? Do you remember laughter?
	4:39pm Old HIckory: oh hi Billy how you burning baby girl?
	4:39pm Groupie: No, but I remember a mudshark.
	4:39pm Wayne: No "Stairway"? De-nied!
	4:40pm 1974: I remember the pet rock
	4:40pm Robert Plant: Well Wayne, you can take those fountains and . . .
	4:41pm Frank Zappa: Yes that mudshark of your mythology
	4:43pm Tech Guy: Throw the printer out the window or down a stairwell. That ALWAYS solves the problem.
	4:44pm Robert Plant: Stairway to Printing
	4:45pm Skynyrd: Some of us are dead. Is that enough to qualify for automatic irony?
	4:45pm AnAnonymousParty: @Irwin, my car's not running right, could you come over and beat the crap out of it? Or at least send it a threatening email?
	4:45pm Matt from Springfield: Feel like a man for a change? I thought you only "Feel Like A Woman" when you're with Kenny G.
	4:45pm Brass Knuckles: Like my old NES when the game wasn't working. Take out the cartridge, blow violently into it, stick it back in, then slam the top of the console a few times.
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: With technology it often depends on the person. I've found that being nice to machines doesn't work, and for me hitting machines with physical violence also doesn't. Instead what I found works is to use mental cruelty on them--say how worthless and expendable they are, openly fantasize about their replacement--and usually they lose the will to resist.
	4:50pm Matt from Springfield: @Brass K: Ah, fond memories! I can still mime that action--(hit the center eject panel, pull cartridge out, point towards my face, purse my lips and blow real hard at the metal shape on the bottom). Ah...
	4:51pm My Cat: Pay attention to me stat! Or else I will lie down on the ihgfurghphnerjard
	4:52pm Kenny G: Hey did you see me on SNL with Foster the People. Screw Pat Metheny!
	4:53pm Pat Metheny: What did I do?
	4:54pm Kenny G: You are a hater! Google your rant about me.
	4:56pm Kenny G: Ooops I am sorry. I think you were right Pat.
	4:58pm Pat Metheny: Admitting you have a problem IS the first step.
	5:00pm Zamfir: Pretending to be Kenny G. is just lame.
	5:01pm The Other Kenny G: So, which one AM I?
	5:03pm Slim Whitman: I agree with Zamfir
	5:06pm AnAnonymousParty: Ooh, that's weird. I live in Worden. I'll bet I know that guy.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: (psst . . a very QUIET thank you !)
	5:07pm Matt from Springfield: (oh, and by the way . . . ) DONATE!!!!
	5:10pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: Have you ever played the trash-talking songs by Wilmouth towards Roaring Lion (and vice versa) back to back?
	5:11pm Irwin: @Matt: those are called picongs (war songs). Great stuff.
	5:16pm Hey . . .: How about some Mohammed Rafi?Jaan Pehechaan Ho for instance
	5:16pm Zorn Rules: I have this album on cassette OMG
	5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Occasionally I'll listen to a Muriel's Treasure archive--I can see if I can pick out the picongs from there.
	5:18pm glenn: irwin, this should be right up your alley. /www.earthstation1.com/BullDada.html
	5:27pm Carmichael: 1st I thought this was Todd Rundgren, then Carole King. interesting ....
	5:28pm kat330: Usually I dislike the "little girl" and "nasally" sounds, but I quite enjoy this.
	5:29pm Aaron Neville: Well, it sure ain't me.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Kate Bush? Jane Siberry? Never heard of this of this person, but it sounds great.
	5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Tomorrow is our 15th wedding anniversary. Should we celebrate by going to the WFMU meet-up at Maxwell's tomorrow? Do you think my wife would enjoy that?
	5:30pm Aaron Neville's Mole: I'll take credit.
	5:30pm kat330: Yeah, an alto Kate Bush.
	5:31pm AnAnonymousParty: You should make a donation instead of getting a gift. Classy. The gift that keeps on giving.
	5:33pm glenn: awesome. sam phillips is great. it helps that jay bellerose is easily the best drummer going.
	5:34pm Listener John: That Sam Phillips song was really good . . .
	5:35pm dc pat: Try Joanna's first album--WAY better
	5:35pm Herpes: Did someone say "gift?"
	5:42pm kat330: Yawn...
	5:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Donation is sent. Keep on rockin'!
	5:44pm Travelling Knuckleheads: Got my min set on my money.
	5:46pm George: I think Snoop said it best - got my mind on my money . . .
	5:46pm American Pear Board: We have a informational brochure on how to start a pear orchard.
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: I'd be interested in a pear orchard. But do you also have advice on marketing and selling the pears?
	5:51pm American Pear Marketing Board: We'd love to hear from you. Are you planning on growing a pear?
	5:55pm Legs McNeil: Please kill me.
	5:56pm Matt from Springfield: I've got a pear, but just one...what about a pair of pears?
	5:56pm George: Thanks Irwin for da show
	5:58pm Matt from Springfield: Yes, great show today Irwin! Have a good night! Use a pear to beat that Epsom printer! You'll feel like you got a pear!
	5:58pm Carmichael: As a fan of jangly music, I look forward every week to this show. Thanks again, Irwin.

	3:37pm Dan B From Upstate: There are rules?
	3:38pm Walter Sobchak: This is not nam, there are rules.
	3:38pm G: Customs. Common sense (if you got it, smoke it)
	3:38pm John Allen Paulos, WSJ: Technically, of course, almost everybody can be above average; in fact, almost everybody has two arms, which is slightly more than the average number of arms.
	3:38pm Dan B From Upstate: I mean aside from the unstated but widely accepted "don't be a dick."
	3:39pm Dead Corporate Eyes: well, you can be a dick, but you have to have a certain panache to do it right.
	3:39pm Matt from Springfield: This is an interesting Harry Nilsson, never heard this one before.
	3:39pm Peter O'Toole: Despite what my name would indicate, I am no dick.
	3:40pm abby: this is from the movie, 'the point.'
	3:40pm Your DJ Types: What about logical incongruences? Like me appearing on the page of a DJ who never uses me?
	3:40pm G: @Matt: Sacrcasm will get you everywhere.
	3:41pm Ratso Rizzo: Not one of Harry's finest
	3:41pm Dead Corporate Eyes: this was also used for promoting a poorly designed mid-70s Dodge
	3:41pm still b/p: Is that the same version Harry had in Top 40 rotation in the early 70s? Seems different.
	3:42pm Ratso: KEY, I'M POSTIN' HEAH!!!!
	3:42pm Carmichael: Nilsson's song was very contextual. If you saw The Point, you'd understand it more, and probably appreciate it just as more.
	3:42pm Ted Nugent: Now, let me tell you about MY arrow.
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks abby! I've heard the unusual narrations from The Point before, but not any of the regular songs. @G: No sarcasm, I actually like certain Harry Nilsson songs.
	3:43pm Harry Nilsson: I admit that Arrow song sucked
	3:43pm Brass Knuckles: Regarding this song/band, is there a term called "safe rock?"
	3:44pm John Lennon: Yeah, Harry, who knew.
	3:44pm Dustin Hoffman: Matt from S'field, that song is from a Nilsson piece that became a movie I voiced called "The Point". Wikipedia says that contractual problems arose with my voice-tracks, and all later versions of the movie use a different actor.
	3:44pm Harry Nilsson: John you had a few clunkers too. But your fans won't admit that.
	3:45pm Carmichael: There was a pretty good tribute album a few years back, For the Love of Harry. Randy Newman, The Roches, Adrian Belew, Joe Ely, etc ... Fred Schneider does a kick-ass rock version of Lime in the Coconut.
	3:46pm Harry Nilsson: So did Flip Wilson
	3:46pm G: @Matt: Sorry, I assumed sarcasm because it's a native language on comments boards, and in addition that Me and My Arrow song was heavily, heavily played when it was on the charts!
	3:46pm Matt from Springfield: @Dustin: Didn't know you did the narrations, then again I might have heard the different actor's voice--have to check that out.
	3:46pm Ringo: The Nilsson doc is pretty good and well worth your time and it's streaming on Netflix.
	3:46pm You know my name: Look up the number.
	3:47pm John Lennon's toilet (Net worth $35,000,000)): Yer full of it
	3:47pm Frank Zappa: So who wants to hear Rat Tomago?
	3:48pm Dead Corporate Eyes: y'ins is outta control
	3:48pm G: My, aren't we energetic this afternoon. All-day rain in NYC is keeping people inside off the streets and at computers, perhaps.
	3:48pm Noddy Holder: Hellooooo everybody!!!!
	3:50pm Frank Zappa: You need the secret decoder ring to figure out the track numbers.
	3:50pm John Lennon: Frank Zappa stole Rat Tomago from my album Live in NY.
	3:50pm Matt from Springfield: @G: You're right about the 'native language' part; however I'm 26 and never heard the original when it was overplayed.
	3:51pm Sysiphus: There is no safe rock.
	3:51pm Decoder Ring: Drink more Ovaltine
	3:51pm Frank Zappa: No you and Yoko with Phil Spector, stole King Kong from me. I made that mistake to invite you on stage.
	3:52pm Marshall McLuhan: Using pseudonyms taken from names of deceased celebrities is acceptable to the rules, as it immediately indicates a conceptual joke.
	3:52pm Carmichael: Another hour or so of this banter, and everyone will suddenly peter out and vanish.
	3:52pm Woody Allen: You nothing about Marshall McLuhan
	3:53pm Woody Allen: Hey Hoagy chill out
	3:53pm Yoko Ono: Frank, you are scumbag
	3:53pm still b/p: The moniker is the message.
	3:54pm Mark Zuckerberg: This is why I think it's best people are only allowed one identity on the web.
	3:54pm AnAnonymousParty: Don't fall for that "if you ain't part of the solution, you're part of the problem" crap. Objective observers fulfill a vital role. Don't bow to peer pressure.
	3:54pm Facebook: Many people have multiple accounts.
	3:55pm Frank Zappa: Well I do give you credit for accelerating the Beatles demise. Kudos
	3:56pm Jimmy Carl Black: I'm the indian of the group
	3:56pm Matt from Springfield: @Mark: Cited as one reason you prevailed over MySpace--an .edu email was required (including when I joined), so there were less joke and alias pages. But what about now? It's slowly going to become less controlled over time.
	3:56pm AnAnonymousParty: Sounds like Fountains of Wayne don't fear the reaper.
	3:57pm Chaos: Come to the dark side!
	3:57pm Netflix: We are fixing our recent mistakes! You can now stream from our combined music and movie service. Special this week: Three Coins in the Fountains of Wayne
	3:58pm Pools of Ho Ho Kus: I wish our band was as successful as the Fountains
	3:59pm Napster: Spare any change for a cup of starbuck?
	4:01pm Septic Tanks of JC: @Pools: YOU have problems?
	4:01pm Justin Bond as Kiki LuRaine: I've done a nifty version of "Coconuts" too. Irwin's played it. Just saying.
	4:01pm Owen WIlson: Hey is Woody still here? I need my paycheck.
	4:02pm Shep: D.Ring, appreciate the shout-out.
	4:04pm Alcohol: So anyone up for a party?
	4:05pm bananas: wow, this comment board is me today.
	4:07pm Tom Carvel: Yeah bananas, you better split. Dont forget Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel
	4:10pm Matt from Springfield: It's always Empire Le Funkytown when Amanda's playing!
	4:11pm Luke Wilson: I don't even understand what's going on here. Is there anyone here that can help me?
	4:11pm Old HIckory: hey Bananas, Hey Alcohol. What time is that thing? i'm dressing up like all the Pointer Sisters
	4:11pm Lipps Inc: What Matt said!
	4:12pm das: Can somebody explain to me the significance of Mimi in the lyrics of Amanda?
	4:12pm Billy Ocean: Wow, Old Hickory I think the party starts now!
	4:13pm Matt from Springfield: @das: When Amanda sings as "Amanda", she calls the character "Mimi Cookie".
	4:14pm Tom Scholz: Yes and I wrote a song about her
	4:15pm Owen Wilson: What kind of orange background is that? I want to say it's Tangelo, but it could be a Mardigras Gold.
	4:16pm Martha Stewart: Pumpkin!
	4:16pm New Jersey State Color Authority: It's either West Orange or East Orange.
	4:16pm Harry Belafonte: I think it's mango.
	4:17pm Amandaddict: I'll tell YOU when I've had enough! Judge of quality--I'll be the judge of QUANTITY! I need MORE!!! I'm jonesin' man!!
	4:18pm The Web: Leave me alone
	4:19pm jaycjay: Not just you, Irwin. There actually are some high-level network issues today: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm
	4:19pm AnAnonymousParty: 590 nanometers
	4:20pm UCB: I am across the streeet from an S&M club. Only $20 before midnight there.
	4:21pm The Heart: This is exciting--in the sense that this jazzy rhythm is causing me to beat a little faster.
	4:22pm Free Clinic: Just down the street too! Come get tested TODAY!
	4:22pm das: Thanks fer explaining my Amanda query, Matt.
	4:23pm Irwin: @jaycjay: can you explain those #'s to me? curious.
	4:23pm Hip Hep C: Hey are you trying to get rid of me?
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: @JCJ: Interesting, never knew about the website. No problems with me, but Virginia (Ashburn) is running at 93, so I seem to be one of the luckier ones.
	4:25pm Matt from Springfield: Anytime, das.
	4:26pm Internet: I'm not slow. I'm bandwidth challenged.
	4:27pm G: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_backbone
	4:27pm the Organ: Jimmy, you make me feel so ALIVE!
	4:28pm Al Gore: Shut up, I own you Internet!
	4:28pm jaycjay: It might be more clear if you look at the index page that North America's performance right now is notably sub-par: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/
	4:28pm the Drums: take it easy, Art! that hurts!
	4:29pm Kirk Lazarus: This comment board has gone full retard.
	4:30pm Second Life: Love your show Irwin. Are you ever going to broadcast on Second Life? I know the web is slow, but that is no excuse.
	4:30pm jaycjay: @Irwin, the FAQ on the site explains it all as well or better than I could: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/faq.htm
	4:34pm 1994: Is it still funny to yell "Skynryd" at concerts?
	4:35pm Dead Corporate Eyes: People are still doing that, even at noise shows. it's so un-funny it's ridic.
	4:35pm Walter Cronkite: Don't ask me.
	4:36pm jaycjay: Never heard anyone yell "Skynyrd" at a concert. It was actually "Free Bird!" But in any case, no. Not funny.
	4:37pm 1974: What about the fake arrow through the head, that's still funny right?
	4:37pm Robert Plant: How abot Stairway? Do you remember laughter?
	4:39pm Old HIckory: oh hi Billy how you burning baby girl?
	4:39pm Groupie: No, but I remember a mudshark.
	4:39pm Wayne: No "Stairway"? De-nied!
	4:40pm 1974: I remember the pet rock
	4:40pm Robert Plant: Well Wayne, you can take those fountains and . . .
	4:41pm Frank Zappa: Yes that mudshark of your mythology
	4:43pm Tech Guy: Throw the printer out the window or down a stairwell. That ALWAYS solves the problem.
	4:44pm Robert Plant: Stairway to Printing
	4:45pm Skynyrd: Some of us are dead. Is that enough to qualify for automatic irony?
	4:45pm AnAnonymousParty: @Irwin, my car's not running right, could you come over and beat the crap out of it? Or at least send it a threatening email?
	4:45pm Matt from Springfield: Feel like a man for a change? I thought you only "Feel Like A Woman" when you're with Kenny G.
	4:45pm Brass Knuckles: Like my old NES when the game wasn't working. Take out the cartridge, blow violently into it, stick it back in, then slam the top of the console a few times.
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: With technology it often depends on the person. I've found that being nice to machines doesn't work, and for me hitting machines with physical violence also doesn't. Instead what I found works is to use mental cruelty on them--say how worthless and expendable they are, openly fantasize about their replacement--and usually they lose the will to resist.
	4:50pm Matt from Springfield: @Brass K: Ah, fond memories! I can still mime that action--(hit the center eject panel, pull cartridge out, point towards my face, purse my lips and blow real hard at the metal shape on the bottom). Ah...
	4:51pm My Cat: Pay attention to me stat! Or else I will lie down on the ihgfurghphnerjard
	4:52pm Kenny G: Hey did you see me on SNL with Foster the People. Screw Pat Metheny!
	4:53pm Pat Metheny: What did I do?
	4:54pm Kenny G: You are a hater! Google your rant about me.
	4:56pm Kenny G: Ooops I am sorry. I think you were right Pat.
	4:58pm Pat Metheny: Admitting you have a problem IS the first step.
	5:00pm Zamfir: Pretending to be Kenny G. is just lame.
	5:01pm The Other Kenny G: So, which one AM I?
	5:03pm Slim Whitman: I agree with Zamfir
	5:06pm AnAnonymousParty: Ooh, that's weird. I live in Worden. I'll bet I know that guy.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: (psst . . a very QUIET thank you !)
	5:07pm Matt from Springfield: (oh, and by the way . . . ) DONATE!!!!
	5:10pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: Have you ever played the trash-talking songs by Wilmouth towards Roaring Lion (and vice versa) back to back?
	5:11pm Irwin: @Matt: those are called picongs (war songs). Great stuff.
	5:16pm Hey . . .: How about some Mohammed Rafi?Jaan Pehechaan Ho for instance
	5:16pm Zorn Rules: I have this album on cassette OMG
	5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Occasionally I'll listen to a Muriel's Treasure archive--I can see if I can pick out the picongs from there.
	5:18pm glenn: irwin, this should be right up your alley. /www.earthstation1.com/BullDada.html
	5:27pm Carmichael: 1st I thought this was Todd Rundgren, then Carole King. interesting ....
	5:28pm kat330: Usually I dislike the "little girl" and "nasally" sounds, but I quite enjoy this.
	5:29pm Aaron Neville: Well, it sure ain't me.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Kate Bush? Jane Siberry? Never heard of this of this person, but it sounds great.
	5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Tomorrow is our 15th wedding anniversary. Should we celebrate by going to the WFMU meet-up at Maxwell's tomorrow? Do you think my wife would enjoy that?
	5:30pm Aaron Neville's Mole: I'll take credit.
	5:30pm kat330: Yeah, an alto Kate Bush.
	5:31pm AnAnonymousParty: You should make a donation instead of getting a gift. Classy. The gift that keeps on giving.
	5:33pm glenn: awesome. sam phillips is great. it helps that jay bellerose is easily the best drummer going.
	5:34pm Listener John: That Sam Phillips song was really good . . .
	5:35pm dc pat: Try Joanna's first album--WAY better
	5:35pm Herpes: Did someone say "gift?"
	5:42pm kat330: Yawn...
	5:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Donation is sent. Keep on rockin'!
	5:44pm Travelling Knuckleheads: Got my min set on my money.
	5:46pm George: I think Snoop said it best - got my mind on my money . . .
	5:46pm American Pear Board: We have a informational brochure on how to start a pear orchard.
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: I'd be interested in a pear orchard. But do you also have advice on marketing and selling the pears?
	5:51pm American Pear Marketing Board: We'd love to hear from you. Are you planning on growing a pear?
	5:55pm Legs McNeil: Please kill me.
	5:56pm Matt from Springfield: I've got a pear, but just one...what about a pair of pears?
	5:56pm George: Thanks Irwin for da show
	5:58pm Matt from Springfield: Yes, great show today Irwin! Have a good night! Use a pear to beat that Epsom printer! You'll feel like you got a pear!
