WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from January 30, 2013

Listener comments!
	👻 3:02pm rrg: Authenticated and ready.
	👻 3:03pm rrg: First typo of the day: the date on the playlist is wrong.
	👻 3:07pm rrg: Also, there's no link to this playlist on the WFMU home page. That's probably why I'm still alone here.
	👻 3:07pm G: Dates are often wrong. Ask anyone who's been on a few.
	3:08pm Irwin: It has been exonerated and fixified.
	👻 3:08pm G: The link just appeared a minute ago, rrg
	3:08pm Irwin: Oh, and that playlist pic is by Lisa Hirschfield.
	3:08pm duke: It's not even 3:30 and I look like hell.
	3:09pm Matt from Springfield: Morgan to Monk! Ideal opening credits music for today's show.
	👻 3:09pm rrg: Ah, but are you the real Irwin? You're not logged in like G and duke and I, so there's no way to be sure.
	3:10pm Alison Porchnik: Yeah, and you didn't credit the photographer! S/he must have risked her/his life getting so close to that tangle of wild monkeys. Maybe she lost her life. It's the least you can do to honor her memory.
	3:11pm Listening Out There: ...I'll differ with RRG. I got here with a perfectly good home page link, and see "January 30, 2013," which is the same date here in my cell. :) (Though note that I am NOT registered on the WFMU site...therein might lie the problem...)
	3:11pm Hell: @duke: Puhleese! You make us look bad!
	👻 3:11pm rrg: We don't know that you're the real AP, either. But I think I've belabored my point enough.
	3:12pm Matt from Springfield: "It’s 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and I look terrible." Well, a swinging playlist will do that to ya.
	3:12pm Alison Porchnik: I think I'm real. Isn't that good enough?
	3:13pm Matt from Springfield: @LOT: Need to get registered and get an avatar! It's the newest "thing"!
	👻 3:14pm rrg: @Listening: the errors were there before you arrived. But I may have been the only to see them. You'll have to take my word for it. It would be foolish of me to lie about it because I'm AUTHENTICATED.
	3:14pm Irwin: Here's my face. GET OUT OF IT!
	3:14pm Matt from Springfield: @AP: I'm taking the Turing Test and I'm still not convinced. Run a script and execute a program that will activate your FS account and avatar, so you can fool us into thinking a real person is behind the posts.
	3:16pm Listening Out There: MFS, I understand that's the way of the world. However, I have too many friggin' accounts as it is. In how many ways must we be tracked, I say? For now, I shall remain LOT anon....
	3:16pm Listening Out There: Besides, I already have plenty to deal with in doing those math problems when posting. Oi :)
	3:17pm Parq: I think Irwin may be the very first FMU-FS member, at least that I've seen, to use an actual photo of himself as a 'tar.
	3:19pm Matt from Springfield: Steinberg cover!
	👻 3:19pm rrg: Ike did it too. And there are others.
	3:19pm Alison Porchnik: What's an FS? Apparently I'm not as authentic as I assumed.
	3:19pm Caryn: @Parq: what about Duane? Own photo there.
	3:19pm Matt from Springfield: @LOT: Anonymous listener out there for now, then!
	3:20pm Droll: LOT, I assure you that you are tracked in several ways by different parties wether or not you make accounts or disable cookies or wear a mask and gloves. . o O ( Killer Queen cover! )
	👻 3:20pm G: is this the reference3d hamster? i musta missed that meme: www.youtube.com... Gangsta Hamster - Olympic Pole Vault Booty June 25, 2008
	👻 3:22pm G: I emailed you back, Droll... no emergency, just a heads up
	👻 3:22pm rrg: Long distance information, give me Nashville, Tennessee.
	3:22pm Matt from Springfield: But that's only 12,000 calories for breakfast over 3 days! Not enough to feed a bird!
	3:23pm Caryn: I enjoyed that Queen cover.
	👻 3:23pm rrg: Yes, and NO ARITHMETIC.
	👻 3:23pm G: @Alison: [WFMU] Friendship Society. cf. FB for Facebook.
	3:24pm Lulu: @Listening Out There I kind of agree with you. I like maintaining some degree, albeit small, of anonymity, even if it is only anonymous as perceived by me. I don't need another online profile to maintain & be identified by.
	3:24pm Ricardo en Washington: I had to look Dias de Septeimbre up on the interwebs after a coworker came in asking who it was. I looked them up on Grooveshark and they translated their name (or maybe Google Chrome did it automatically) and in english, the band's name sounds less exotic.
	3:24pm Matt from Springfield: "Hot wind in the alleyways" @WFMU, it's more like Hawkwind in the hallways!
	3:25pm Listening Out There: What Lulu said.
	3:25pm braveness23: I want WFMU to keep track of me. It's too hard to do it all by myself. It's kind of like having a personal assistant
	👻 3:25pm G: Lulu still lookin' pretty nice, for someone born in 48.
	3:25pm Matt from Springfield: "Amor de Días" - LOVE that name!
	3:28pm Ike: Yeah, WFMU can track me all it wants.
	3:29pm Matt from Springfield: Wow - Tokyo Police Club cover of Miley. Conflict! OTOH, this song is the Platonic form of an Irwin selection!
	3:30pm Michael: ugh - flashback to driving my daughter around years ago!
	👻 3:31pm rrg: I was at that party.
	3:31pm Matt from Springfield: New Brunswick - HOPE that's the NJ one and not the Canada!! This is Party in the U.S.A., dammit!
	3:32pm Phin The Hyooman: I wonder how many indie snobs would be like, "I love that ironic cover of a Miley Cyrus song, but I can't stand the original version. Nyyahhh..."
	3:32pm pol: i suppose so ,,, if your entire life revolves around the comments section
	3:32pm Mike East: @Michael - wow, you allow you're daughter to touch the stereo? You must be a good father. Mine is forced to listen to WFMU...pretty much all the time.
	3:33pm glenn: jeez matt. that's mean.
	👻 3:34pm G: Angry Canadians. GNFAB!
	👻 3:35pm rrg: Why are we talking about New Brunswick? Where did that come from? I hate feeling left out.
	👻 3:36pm G: from a song lyric. turn on the stream! :P
	3:36pm Michael: Mike - we shared: she'd get her tunes one way, I'd get mine back. We still do it that way. No 'FMU in Boston radio alas. Always tune it in when back in NJ though =)
	3:36pm PhinTheHyooman: GNFAB! =? Go North Fast Across the Border!
	👻 3:37pm G: Great Name for a Band, for those not up on Acronymese :)
	3:38pm Droll: MfS started an international incident! WWIII starts here and now! The post read 'round the world! Them's fightin' words 'fer sure! 'Merica: assume form of a CRUISE MISSLE and ATTACK while the Canucks still have their ice skates on!
	👻 3:38pm Alison Porchnik: Am I a real boy now?
	3:38pm Andrew Waterloo: I went to the Myspace secret Tokyo Police Club show
	3:38pm Mike East: @Michael - good man. I split up deciding which movies we watch with her, but I haven't recovered from the time I put on her One Direction CD for her and she kept insisting that it was Rock & Roll
	👻 3:39pm G: @Alison: Yeah, and how's your nose?
	3:40pm glenn: tokyo police club is canadian. just sayin', haters. :)
	3:40pm Matt from Springfield: Now calm down, I'm sure the Angry Canadiens can join Green Day on a "North American Idiot" tour and unite us once again.
	3:40pm Andrew Waterloo: @glenn.. why else would they mention Saskatchewan an the North West Territories
	3:41pm Matt from Springfield: Funky tribute to junk food! If there was an American Kinks in the 70s, I imagine this coming from them!
	3:41pm glenn: dear 'muricans. there is no need to put ice in front of hockey or skates. ice is implied. thank you.
	👻 3:42pm rrg: Juliana Hatfield is almost Canadian. She's from Maine. That's practically New Brunswick. (The Canadian New Brunswick, not the real New Brunswick.)
	3:42pm Gyp Etto: Porchnikkio! You is a real listener-user-friendshiper, ey!
	3:43pm glenn: xtina's mom is a newfie.
	3:43pm Angry Canadians: We're all about the ICE, loserz.
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: Now this arrangement itself sounds like something the Kinks would have done!
	👻 3:43pm rrg: Yes, AP, skeletal but real. Authentic.
	3:44pm Parq: Dear Canadiadian, four words: Field hockey. Roller skates.
	👻 3:45pm rrg: 91.9 in Rockland County, isn't it?
	3:45pm Matt from Springfield: @glenn: Who did you say to tell a Newfie that you're a fan of, and they'll be your friend forever?
	3:46pm glenn: meh. those words are dead to me. i am chuffed about the resurgence of roller derby, however.
	👻 3:46pm rrg: Perhaps Stompin' Tom.
	3:47pm glenn: stompin tom connors.
	3:47pm Mr. Lowry: Wow, did I read that wrong. I thought it said "Automatic Mechanic." That's deep.
	3:47pm Parq: Hands emphatically staying down.
	3:47pm Matt from Springfield: Woooooooo! Me me me! Yeeeeeehaw!
	3:48pm Andrew Waterloo: That New Brunswick thing started out confusing while watching Harold and Kumar.
	3:48pm glenn: hey irwin, did you hear about the blake shelton / ray price kerfuffle?
	3:48pm braveness23: Love it already!
	3:48pm Matt from Springfield: Woo Woo! H8Rz gonna h8!!
	👻 3:49pm G: Malcolm Lowry spent time in Canada. (I went to a Lowry conference in Toronto once.) Is this a CanCon Comm Board?
	3:49pm Matt from Springfield: Yes glenn/rrg, Stompin' Tom Connors sounds like it. Thanks.
	3:49pm Droll: RRG, W220DQ New City, it's a WMFU translator so the ID isn't even necessary. radio-locator.com... I proudly play country music! Country music is the best FM in Seattle, beats KEXP hipster sound-effect records hands down.
	👻 3:49pm G: My sister has lived in Vancouver since the 80s. Is that my "in"?
	3:49pm Jeff: I was fearing something much worse.
	3:49pm glenn: under the volcano was written in vancouver.
	3:50pm Caryn: @glenn: for instance Brits, if they mention "hockey", mean field hockey. Ice is not always implied.
	👻 3:50pm G: right, glenn! dingdingding
	3:50pm DS: this is "Country" in the same way "Olive Garden" is Italian
	👻 3:51pm Alison Porchnik: Right on, DS. I want Dolly.
	3:51pm Spankyflop: Good to see that country music has discovered jangley 80's college rock...
	👻 3:52pm rrg: "This image is intended solely for entertainment purposes." On radio-locator.com. It's less entertaining than they think it is.
	👻 3:52pm G: Come on everybuddy, bring the H8 on the new country genre
	👻 3:53pm G: YLT, in the current "sweetening added" phase :)
	3:54pm Irwin: I love that song. Country rock rocks harder than most stuff coming out of Brooklyn for the past 15 years.
	3:54pm glenn: pah. brits. what do they know? well, besides good television. and fish 'n chips.
	👻 3:54pm rrg: I like to think that I live in the country. There are too many deer here. So many that they're having a deer cull.
	3:56pm fleep: Like listening to marshmallows.
	3:56pm DS: @Alison Porchnik: Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash.......
	3:57pm Ike: Agreed @DS, but that's not even close to the worst modern faux-country that Irwin has played. That one was bordering on tolerable actually, though still slicker than a greasy used-car salesman.
	👻 3:58pm G: Good work, Ike :)
	3:58pm Carmichael: Hey, Irwin. Hey, everyone. Hey.
	👻 3:59pm G: As for me, I like everything to some extent or other. I guess I'm just not narrowminded enough or something. Gotta work on that. :)
	4:00pm Andrew Waterloo: Oh for the love of freeform, Irwin unironically played an uncool country song. :)
	4:02pm Ike: Hey, it takes hard work and discipline to stay this narrow-minded.
	4:02pm Mike East: Hey yourself, Carmichael.
	👻 4:02pm G: @AW: Freeform is only ok as long as you personally love the song/genre.
	4:02pm Stanley: 101 crustaceans? I can only thing of 3 - Kings Cross Station, Charing Cross Station and New Cross Station (London joke)
	4:03pm northguineahills: Hey, Hey yourself, Mike!
	4:03pm Bible Belt Baptist: Ike is so right about that last comment! It's exhausting!
	4:04pm Parq: G, speaking for myself, I take for granted that everyone I meet hates some sort of music that I like.
	👻 4:05pm G: www.101crustaceans.com
	👻 4:05pm rrg: What counties? I didn't catch that.
	👻 4:06pm G: Parq, that assumption works well in the vast preponderance of cases, in my experience. I try not to go out of my way to encourage it, though :)
	4:06pm fleep: NOAA weather bulletins need that music, so soothing
	4:06pm Irwin: Donald Byrd on trumpet, Jackie McLean on sax.
	4:07pm Mike East: Ho, northguineahills!
	👻 4:07pm G: Looks like in NYC it's gonna pour rain all night and end at dawn or so. Works for me!
	4:07pm glenn: stanley - s1.b3ta.com...
	4:08pm Carmichael: Hey Mike, are also engulfed by that British boy drill team One Direction? My kids are over the top into that crap. And I thought the Jonas Brothers were bad ...
	4:09pm Parq: Speaking of trumpets, I hope folks caught the Charlie Lewis tribute to said instrument on the GDR stream. I could only think about how much it would have been enhanced by the inclusion of an old Irwin favorite, Lui Lui's "El Touchee".
	4:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all from the land of 1000 Cracker Barrels & retired Jewish parents! Was listening on TuneIn Radio. Nice pic of Irwin there.Warm wind advisory here.
	4:10pm Stanley: Glenn - that's brilliant.
	4:10pm northguineahills: See everyone later, got some errands to run... cheers!
	4:11pm Matt from Springfield: "Along Comes Mary"!! YES!
	4:11pm Matt from Springfield: Run an errand marathon, NGH! (Not an errant marathon, I hope...)
	👻 4:12pm rrg: I love this separated-tracks stuff. I can't get enough of it.
	4:13pm Unclear on the concept: Oh God, I'm going deaf, I can't hear the singing!
	4:13pm Matt from Springfield: @rrg: I LOVE doing this with Audacity, creating instro/reduction tracks out of mp3s. Occasionally you'll get a near perfect example. The Buckinghams "Kind of a Drag" produced an excellent backing track!
	👻 4:13pm Alison Porchnik: I didn't remember the Association being so swingin.
	4:13pm Stanley: @ Carmichael - looks like One Direction are in a spot of trouble (but don't tell the kids) www.youtube.com...
	4:13pm Droll: RRG, Stems are an amazing resource, especially for musicians to study. Sadly they always fall into the hands of evil mashup-doers.
	4:15pm Caryn: @glenn: oh man, that gif makes me think of the Mayor of Scunthorpe's appearances on "Never Mind the Buzzcocks"...
	4:16pm glenn: link please!
	👻 4:16pm rrg: I think that Association album might be "And Then Along Comes...The Association". (Not what you wrote.) If you have the CD in front of you there, can you please double-check?
	4:16pm Matt from Springfield: Like a modern-ish Cristina Monet!
	4:17pm braveness23: This Everybody's Slimmin' is the best song ever.
	👻 4:17pm rrg: @Droll, where can I find me some stems?
	4:17pm Brett: Totally digging this
	4:17pm Caryn: @Stanley: maybe someone should tell One Direction that it is easy to ID sick koalas by the brown patches on their fur. On second thought, no-one tell them. It'll be funnier.
	4:18pm Matt from Springfield: Hooray classic Irwin bed!
	4:20pm glenn: mmmmmm. dagmar krause.
	4:21pm Matt from Springfield: It's their fourthcoming album?? I never heard of their first-, second- or thirdcoming albums...
	4:23pm Matt from Springfield: Junk shop glam comps! I have those! I like that stuff! I'll be sure to check that Archive, since that's the sort of band I'd probably buy their whole album. Is that "Irwintune™" or something like it? EFD sounded exactly like Irwin on mic.
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: I despise Autotune, but would TOTALLY listen to those same songs if they were recorded in Irwintune™!
	4:25pm Mike East: @Stanley - thanks for that! @Carm - yes, unfortunately, 1D seems to be her favorite at the moment. She does however enjoy the records I spin as well, so all is not lost.
	4:27pm Dijital Distorshun: I don't appreciate you playing rhythms blatantly ripped off from the Beach Boys "Sail On Sailor"! Take it out!
	4:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Nothin' you can do to stop young kids from liking those pop monsters--just have the assurance that good records are forever, the kidz pop will rapidly become uncool and purged from iPods and Radio Disney everywhere.
	4:32pm Matt from Springfield: "Where But For Caravan Would I?" .. a question Irwin asks himself every week for a while, it seems.
	👻 4:33pm G: Caravan reminds me of other semiforgotten southern UK prog bands of the early 70s. Camel, for example. Their 2002 album A Nod and a Wink was pretty nice. Complete with a 9-11 song, "For Today"
	4:34pm Mike East: Thanks for the reassurance. All Things Must Pass. (also a great record)
	4:34pm Irwin: Richard Sinclair was in both groups (Camel & Caravan).
	4:34pm common: epic
	4:36pm Matt from Springfield: Wait! I'm a work! I can't get my stuffed animal and bottle of Jack to deal with the end of the world!
	4:36pm Marmalade kitty: that was quick and i didnt feel a thing..!
	👻 4:36pm EAS: THE DISK JOCKEY IS ABOUT TO PLAY SOME NEW COUNTRY. PROCEED TO THE NEAREST FALLOUT SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING.
	👻 4:36pm rrg: Why does Irwin always get stuck with the weekly end-of-the-world-machine test?
	👻 4:37pm Alison Porchnik: Best Lennon cover ever
	4:37pm Caryn: Man, if you want to hear Camel, WFMU is the place to do it. At least it's the only place I've ever heard them played. (Thanks, Julie & Chris M!)
	4:37pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: I didn't comment on "evil mashup-doers", because that really depends on who does mash-ups and how well they do a particular one. Now THIS I'll agree! EVIL mash-up!
	4:37pm braveness23: @EAS No, it's just another weird mashup
	4:38pm Green Mountain Man Mark: I mentioned this before but here it goes again. Back in college we played a drinking game where we listened to Van Halen and had to take a sip every time Dave did his squelchy holler.
	4:38pm BSI: holy crap.
	4:39pm Matt from Springfield: On the other hand, this combo of songs is obscenely juxtaposed in a way that makes it kind of funny. The worst mash-up I've heard on FMU was probably RIAA's "Sweet California Girl O' Mine" - yes, GnR with the Beach Boys. Totally not necessary or pleasant.
	4:39pm Mike East: I imagine that Might Mike must have giggled himself into a coma when he was mixing that.
	4:40pm braveness23: dang, that sounds like Peter Murphy
	4:40pm chillicheeba: lols
	4:41pm Droll: MfS, Downloading some software to let you play two songs at once doesn't even pass the sniff test. I don't think extracting the stems out of a RockBand video game makes someone clever or creative and it sure as hell counts as stealing. I don't think you want to pick this fight with me.
	4:41pm Matt from Springfield: Agree, Caryn! I wouldn't have known about that slick late 70s/80s prog band without Julie intro-ing me to them. Robert Plant tells WFMU to "Camel On!" Hello Kitty as well! Glad it wasn't the end of the world, I must clutch a plush toy in one arm and a tall bottle of whiskey in another. Seems appropriate somehow :)
	4:44pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: People take Rockband stems and make mashups out of that? No, I don't mean to endorse that kind of laziness. I like mashups mixed from individual tracks. GHP, RIAA, Party Ben, Team9 and others are great at doing them.
	👻 4:44pm rrg: This is even odder if you're listening in headphones.
	4:46pm Irwin: Hope you folks are diggin' Nick Brooke's CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY MUSIC.
	4:47pm braveness23: <facepalm>
	4:47pm Matt from Springfield: Contemp country done properly, Irwin! :)
	4:47pm Marmalade Kitty: Good evening!
	4:47pm glenn: play some glen meadmore. that'll fit right in.
	4:48pm Carmichael: Man, I had a meeting and missed Caravan. I love both them and Camel (and Kayak, for that matter). But I've never heard of this comp. Is it new?
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: And now Dylan too!
	4:49pm Mr. Lowry: Which country?
	👻 4:50pm G: @Carm: The World Is Yours - The Anthology 1968-76 -- 2010, says amazon
	4:50pm Droll: MfS, Where do you think GHP, RIAA, Party Ben, and Team9 are getting their stems? Are they getting licenses from UMG? Sony? Warner?
	4:50pm braveness23: True confession: I am catious about who I recommend WFMU to ;-)
	4:51pm Caryn: I agree wholeheartedly with Rich Hall's views on contemporary country music. There are always a few exceptions that prove the rule, however.
	4:56pm Matt from Springfield: It's organic, you know, like junk food!
	4:57pm Marmalade Kitty: lolughhhlolr
	4:59pm Green Mountain Man Mark: my yahoo email was hacked and everyone is getting some advert spams sent from me. I think I fixed it but sorry.
	5:00pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: Most of them started mash-ups in the early 00s, before those games were ever out. They probably took individual tracks off the CDs using (probably Apple) software. As for licensing, I don't think the labels issue licenses at all, unless it's for a track for their own albums (e.g. "Rapture Riders"). I got all their tracks posted on their websites for free, they're not making any money from those.
	5:03pm ?: But I can use some Cialis GMMM!
	5:07pm Andrew Waterloo: Mash-Up started up as a DIY bedroom thing. It usually just combining two songs along without a lot of filtering.
	5:11pm Mike East: Oh damn, I want a muffaletta. One of the only New Orleans specialties i didn't get to try when I went down there.
	5:12pm Matt from Springfield: @Andrew: That "Tom's Diner" remix from the early 90s has been called the first mash-up. So Suzanne Vega is the Mother of the MP3, and the Mash-Up!
	5:13pm Droll: MfS, That's my point: The musicians who spend years learning to play, work hard writing songs, and have to buy expensive instruments are getting nothing for all their effort. And you're right, neither is the crook who used the tracks. If you can explain why this is a good thing, I'm sure the musicians not earning anything will benefit from your insights.
	5:14pm Andrew Waterloo: @Droll, the simplistic answer is exposure.
	5:15pm glenn: if marc bolan was from nola, carburetor could easily hve been muffaletta.
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: @Mike: What?!? You were in NOLA, and you DIDN'T try that?? That's one of my priorities. An Italian deli makes a version of that around here, pretty good olive-spread Italian sub but I want to try the original article (at Central Grocery: en.wikipedia.org...)
	5:17pm Droll: AW, Exposure of what to who? Zero times 100 million is zero. I can't take 1M YouTube views to the grocery store to buy dinner.
	5:18pm Mike East: @Matt - I didn't have a car, so I was at the whim of my hosts to get around. according to them, po' boys where the top priority.
	5:21pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: In any case, piracy of the original tracks is what's really cheating musicians out of earnings. If you think mixing stuff around for your own and listeners amusement should come with a publishing royalty, why not a royalty every time you play a song? But I like artistic recombining of existing fragments to make a new thing--it's what folk music has done for generations. Most on WFMU love the concept of mash-ups, but you can always make an argument against them.
	5:22pm Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Po' boys are a priority! I've never had one of those myself. Did you go to little shacks and corner shops where they make them fresh? A co-worker says that those places make them the best.
	5:24pm MasterofPuberty: Amor de Días? Sounds like WEEN!
	5:25pm Laura L: Too busy to write today, but thanks especially for the Amor de Días, Irwin.
	👻 5:27pm rrg: Hello, probable Laura.
	5:27pm Mike East: @Matt - got a few from a few different joints. The best was a place that was set up kinda like a small cafeteria.
	👻 5:30pm rrg: That's not really an album name, is it?
	5:31pm Matt from Springfield: standing O Go Keili! Go Shirelles! Go Carole! Go 52nd anniversaries!
	👻 5:32pm G: Sorry, Cali called for a "consult." Back now
	5:32pm Irwin: @rrg: No, she mentioned in email w/mp3 attached.
	👻 5:33pm rrg: That was a nice track, I must admit.
	👻 5:34pm G: I can comment while working online (asynchronous). I can't phonetalk (synchronous) and listen and comment. Gotta figure the latter out better :)
	5:35pm conrad: Play some Jim nabors! did he ever record "Hawaiian Wedding Song"?
	5:36pm Laura L: @rrg Hi ya, it's probably me, yes, it seems to have been me all day long even through Ken's horrible astral music this morning.
	5:36pm Matt from Springfield: @G: Listen to the show, speak your comments to the caller, and type your consulting advice into the comments board. They should receive your message one way or another :)
	👻 5:36pm rrg: How's Cali doing? Better, I hope. Not whining about the cold so much.
	5:36pm Droll: MfS, Licensed streaming services (Spotify, Pandora, etc) pay a royalty every time you listen to a song, so that's already the norm. Film and TV have always paid for music that way. It's not my idea and it's not new or weird. Traditional fusion by a musician playing a a mix of styles on a musical instrument (possibly from yet another style) is not comparable to taking credit for using the laptop your parents bought you to do homework on to play a loop sampled from someone else's song.
	5:36pm glenn: don't sweat it, g. most people who think they are good multitaskers actually suck at it.
	5:37pm Matt from Springfield: @conrad: He recorded "You Are The Sunshine of My Life". Can be found on a Golden Throats comp.
	👻 5:38pm G: The consult is oral on the phone. that kinda kills streaming, and i gotta listen to the person and think about what to say next, hard to think of what to type, too, on a totally unrelated topic! :(
	👻 5:39pm rrg: This song (well, the original Bee Gees version) ended "P&T Get Killed". Directed by Arthur Penn.
	5:40pm Parq: Lovely version of that BeeGees song, there.
	👻 5:42pm rrg: I love the early Beach Boys, too.
	5:43pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: I thought you said "Beachys" :) @Parq: Lovely!
	👻 5:43pm G: We're supposed to chat amongst ourselves?
	5:44pm Caryn: @rrg: that's what I think of whenever I hear the song nowadays
	5:47pm Matt from Springfield: @G: I'm chatting within myself.
	5:47pm Matt from Springfield: Also, liking this 2-Track Mind album! Thanks Irwin for playing from it!
	👻 5:48pm G: aren't we all, Matt. otherwise we'd never figure out what to say, or even what we think. interior monomanialogue
	5:51pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooo! Syd! "Matilda Mother"! (Was "dedicated to Linda Ann Hills" part of the orig. title?) @G: Monomanialogue! I know that sensation!
	5:52pm Carmichael: Now you're playin' some music, Irwin!
	👻 5:54pm G: great ending. save the very best till last...
	5:55pm SheWolf: YES!
	👻 5:57pm G: now i know what bryce is really going for :P j/k
	5:57pm Matt from Springfield: Amazing PGC!
	👻 5:58pm rrg: Eraserhead? I haven't thought about that in a very long time.
	👻 5:58pm rrg: I guess it's time to say g'night. G'night.
	👻 5:59pm G: that John Luther Adams CD has 25 mins of that Clusters on a Quad Grid...
	5:59pm Parq: Another sultry sail down the river of the sublime and the ridiculous. Thanks, Ol' Pal I.

Listener comments!
	👻 3:02pm rrg: Authenticated and ready.
	👻 3:03pm rrg: First typo of the day: the date on the playlist is wrong.
	👻 3:07pm rrg: Also, there's no link to this playlist on the WFMU home page. That's probably why I'm still alone here.
	👻 3:07pm G: Dates are often wrong. Ask anyone who's been on a few.
	3:08pm Irwin: It has been exonerated and fixified.
	👻 3:08pm G: The link just appeared a minute ago, rrg
	3:08pm Irwin: Oh, and that playlist pic is by Lisa Hirschfield.
	3:08pm duke: It's not even 3:30 and I look like hell.
	3:09pm Matt from Springfield: Morgan to Monk! Ideal opening credits music for today's show.
	👻 3:09pm rrg: Ah, but are you the real Irwin? You're not logged in like G and duke and I, so there's no way to be sure.
	3:10pm Alison Porchnik: Yeah, and you didn't credit the photographer! S/he must have risked her/his life getting so close to that tangle of wild monkeys. Maybe she lost her life. It's the least you can do to honor her memory.
	3:11pm Listening Out There: ...I'll differ with RRG. I got here with a perfectly good home page link, and see "January 30, 2013," which is the same date here in my cell. :) (Though note that I am NOT registered on the WFMU site...therein might lie the problem...)
	3:11pm Hell: @duke: Puhleese! You make us look bad!
	👻 3:11pm rrg: We don't know that you're the real AP, either. But I think I've belabored my point enough.
	3:12pm Matt from Springfield: "It’s 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and I look terrible." Well, a swinging playlist will do that to ya.
	3:12pm Alison Porchnik: I think I'm real. Isn't that good enough?
	3:13pm Matt from Springfield: @LOT: Need to get registered and get an avatar! It's the newest "thing"!
	👻 3:14pm rrg: @Listening: the errors were there before you arrived. But I may have been the only to see them. You'll have to take my word for it. It would be foolish of me to lie about it because I'm AUTHENTICATED.
	3:14pm Irwin: Here's my face. GET OUT OF IT!
	3:14pm Matt from Springfield: @AP: I'm taking the Turing Test and I'm still not convinced. Run a script and execute a program that will activate your FS account and avatar, so you can fool us into thinking a real person is behind the posts.
	3:16pm Listening Out There: MFS, I understand that's the way of the world. However, I have too many friggin' accounts as it is. In how many ways must we be tracked, I say? For now, I shall remain LOT anon....
	3:16pm Listening Out There: Besides, I already have plenty to deal with in doing those math problems when posting. Oi :)
	3:17pm Parq: I think Irwin may be the very first FMU-FS member, at least that I've seen, to use an actual photo of himself as a 'tar.
	3:19pm Matt from Springfield: Steinberg cover!
	👻 3:19pm rrg: Ike did it too. And there are others.
	3:19pm Alison Porchnik: What's an FS? Apparently I'm not as authentic as I assumed.
	3:19pm Caryn: @Parq: what about Duane? Own photo there.
	3:19pm Matt from Springfield: @LOT: Anonymous listener out there for now, then!
	3:20pm Droll: LOT, I assure you that you are tracked in several ways by different parties wether or not you make accounts or disable cookies or wear a mask and gloves. . o O ( Killer Queen cover! )
	👻 3:20pm G: is this the reference3d hamster? i musta missed that meme: www.youtube.com... Gangsta Hamster - Olympic Pole Vault Booty June 25, 2008
	👻 3:22pm G: I emailed you back, Droll... no emergency, just a heads up
	👻 3:22pm rrg: Long distance information, give me Nashville, Tennessee.
	3:22pm Matt from Springfield: But that's only 12,000 calories for breakfast over 3 days! Not enough to feed a bird!
	3:23pm Caryn: I enjoyed that Queen cover.
	👻 3:23pm rrg: Yes, and NO ARITHMETIC.
	👻 3:23pm G: @Alison: [WFMU] Friendship Society. cf. FB for Facebook.
	3:24pm Lulu: @Listening Out There I kind of agree with you. I like maintaining some degree, albeit small, of anonymity, even if it is only anonymous as perceived by me. I don't need another online profile to maintain & be identified by.
	3:24pm Ricardo en Washington: I had to look Dias de Septeimbre up on the interwebs after a coworker came in asking who it was. I looked them up on Grooveshark and they translated their name (or maybe Google Chrome did it automatically) and in english, the band's name sounds less exotic.
	3:24pm Matt from Springfield: "Hot wind in the alleyways" @WFMU, it's more like Hawkwind in the hallways!
	3:25pm Listening Out There: What Lulu said.
	3:25pm braveness23: I want WFMU to keep track of me. It's too hard to do it all by myself. It's kind of like having a personal assistant
	👻 3:25pm G: Lulu still lookin' pretty nice, for someone born in 48.
	3:25pm Matt from Springfield: "Amor de Días" - LOVE that name!
	3:28pm Ike: Yeah, WFMU can track me all it wants.
	3:29pm Matt from Springfield: Wow - Tokyo Police Club cover of Miley. Conflict! OTOH, this song is the Platonic form of an Irwin selection!
	3:30pm Michael: ugh - flashback to driving my daughter around years ago!
	👻 3:31pm rrg: I was at that party.
	3:31pm Matt from Springfield: New Brunswick - HOPE that's the NJ one and not the Canada!! This is Party in the U.S.A., dammit!
	3:32pm Phin The Hyooman: I wonder how many indie snobs would be like, "I love that ironic cover of a Miley Cyrus song, but I can't stand the original version. Nyyahhh..."
	3:32pm pol: i suppose so ,,, if your entire life revolves around the comments section
	3:32pm Mike East: @Michael - wow, you allow you're daughter to touch the stereo? You must be a good father. Mine is forced to listen to WFMU...pretty much all the time.
	3:33pm glenn: jeez matt. that's mean.
	👻 3:34pm G: Angry Canadians. GNFAB!
	👻 3:35pm rrg: Why are we talking about New Brunswick? Where did that come from? I hate feeling left out.
	👻 3:36pm G: from a song lyric. turn on the stream! :P
	3:36pm Michael: Mike - we shared: she'd get her tunes one way, I'd get mine back. We still do it that way. No 'FMU in Boston radio alas. Always tune it in when back in NJ though =)
	3:36pm PhinTheHyooman: GNFAB! =? Go North Fast Across the Border!
	👻 3:37pm G: Great Name for a Band, for those not up on Acronymese :)
	3:38pm Droll: MfS started an international incident! WWIII starts here and now! The post read 'round the world! Them's fightin' words 'fer sure! 'Merica: assume form of a CRUISE MISSLE and ATTACK while the Canucks still have their ice skates on!
	👻 3:38pm Alison Porchnik: Am I a real boy now?
	3:38pm Andrew Waterloo: I went to the Myspace secret Tokyo Police Club show
	3:38pm Mike East: @Michael - good man. I split up deciding which movies we watch with her, but I haven't recovered from the time I put on her One Direction CD for her and she kept insisting that it was Rock & Roll
	👻 3:39pm G: @Alison: Yeah, and how's your nose?
	3:40pm glenn: tokyo police club is canadian. just sayin', haters. :)
	3:40pm Matt from Springfield: Now calm down, I'm sure the Angry Canadiens can join Green Day on a "North American Idiot" tour and unite us once again.
	3:40pm Andrew Waterloo: @glenn.. why else would they mention Saskatchewan an the North West Territories
	3:41pm Matt from Springfield: Funky tribute to junk food! If there was an American Kinks in the 70s, I imagine this coming from them!
	3:41pm glenn: dear 'muricans. there is no need to put ice in front of hockey or skates. ice is implied. thank you.
	👻 3:42pm rrg: Juliana Hatfield is almost Canadian. She's from Maine. That's practically New Brunswick. (The Canadian New Brunswick, not the real New Brunswick.)
	3:42pm Gyp Etto: Porchnikkio! You is a real listener-user-friendshiper, ey!
	3:43pm glenn: xtina's mom is a newfie.
	3:43pm Angry Canadians: We're all about the ICE, loserz.
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: Now this arrangement itself sounds like something the Kinks would have done!
	👻 3:43pm rrg: Yes, AP, skeletal but real. Authentic.
	3:44pm Parq: Dear Canadiadian, four words: Field hockey. Roller skates.
	👻 3:45pm rrg: 91.9 in Rockland County, isn't it?
	3:45pm Matt from Springfield: @glenn: Who did you say to tell a Newfie that you're a fan of, and they'll be your friend forever?
	3:46pm glenn: meh. those words are dead to me. i am chuffed about the resurgence of roller derby, however.
	👻 3:46pm rrg: Perhaps Stompin' Tom.
	3:47pm glenn: stompin tom connors.
	3:47pm Mr. Lowry: Wow, did I read that wrong. I thought it said "Automatic Mechanic." That's deep.
	3:47pm Parq: Hands emphatically staying down.
	3:47pm Matt from Springfield: Woooooooo! Me me me! Yeeeeeehaw!
	3:48pm Andrew Waterloo: That New Brunswick thing started out confusing while watching Harold and Kumar.
	3:48pm glenn: hey irwin, did you hear about the blake shelton / ray price kerfuffle?
	3:48pm braveness23: Love it already!
	3:48pm Matt from Springfield: Woo Woo! H8Rz gonna h8!!
	👻 3:49pm G: Malcolm Lowry spent time in Canada. (I went to a Lowry conference in Toronto once.) Is this a CanCon Comm Board?
	3:49pm Matt from Springfield: Yes glenn/rrg, Stompin' Tom Connors sounds like it. Thanks.
	3:49pm Droll: RRG, W220DQ New City, it's a WMFU translator so the ID isn't even necessary. radio-locator.com... I proudly play country music! Country music is the best FM in Seattle, beats KEXP hipster sound-effect records hands down.
	👻 3:49pm G: My sister has lived in Vancouver since the 80s. Is that my "in"?
	3:49pm Jeff: I was fearing something much worse.
	3:49pm glenn: under the volcano was written in vancouver.
	3:50pm Caryn: @glenn: for instance Brits, if they mention "hockey", mean field hockey. Ice is not always implied.
	👻 3:50pm G: right, glenn! dingdingding
	3:50pm DS: this is "Country" in the same way "Olive Garden" is Italian
	👻 3:51pm Alison Porchnik: Right on, DS. I want Dolly.
	3:51pm Spankyflop: Good to see that country music has discovered jangley 80's college rock...
	👻 3:52pm rrg: "This image is intended solely for entertainment purposes." On radio-locator.com. It's less entertaining than they think it is.
	👻 3:52pm G: Come on everybuddy, bring the H8 on the new country genre
	👻 3:53pm G: YLT, in the current "sweetening added" phase :)
	3:54pm Irwin: I love that song. Country rock rocks harder than most stuff coming out of Brooklyn for the past 15 years.
	3:54pm glenn: pah. brits. what do they know? well, besides good television. and fish 'n chips.
	👻 3:54pm rrg: I like to think that I live in the country. There are too many deer here. So many that they're having a deer cull.
	3:56pm fleep: Like listening to marshmallows.
	3:56pm DS: @Alison Porchnik: Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash.......
	3:57pm Ike: Agreed @DS, but that's not even close to the worst modern faux-country that Irwin has played. That one was bordering on tolerable actually, though still slicker than a greasy used-car salesman.
	👻 3:58pm G: Good work, Ike :)
	3:58pm Carmichael: Hey, Irwin. Hey, everyone. Hey.
	👻 3:59pm G: As for me, I like everything to some extent or other. I guess I'm just not narrowminded enough or something. Gotta work on that. :)
	4:00pm Andrew Waterloo: Oh for the love of freeform, Irwin unironically played an uncool country song. :)
	4:02pm Ike: Hey, it takes hard work and discipline to stay this narrow-minded.
	4:02pm Mike East: Hey yourself, Carmichael.
	👻 4:02pm G: @AW: Freeform is only ok as long as you personally love the song/genre.
	4:02pm Stanley: 101 crustaceans? I can only thing of 3 - Kings Cross Station, Charing Cross Station and New Cross Station (London joke)
	4:03pm northguineahills: Hey, Hey yourself, Mike!
	4:03pm Bible Belt Baptist: Ike is so right about that last comment! It's exhausting!
	4:04pm Parq: G, speaking for myself, I take for granted that everyone I meet hates some sort of music that I like.
	👻 4:05pm G: www.101crustaceans.com
	👻 4:05pm rrg: What counties? I didn't catch that.
	👻 4:06pm G: Parq, that assumption works well in the vast preponderance of cases, in my experience. I try not to go out of my way to encourage it, though :)
	4:06pm fleep: NOAA weather bulletins need that music, so soothing
	4:06pm Irwin: Donald Byrd on trumpet, Jackie McLean on sax.
	4:07pm Mike East: Ho, northguineahills!
	👻 4:07pm G: Looks like in NYC it's gonna pour rain all night and end at dawn or so. Works for me!
	4:07pm glenn: stanley - s1.b3ta.com...
	4:08pm Carmichael: Hey Mike, are also engulfed by that British boy drill team One Direction? My kids are over the top into that crap. And I thought the Jonas Brothers were bad ...
	4:09pm Parq: Speaking of trumpets, I hope folks caught the Charlie Lewis tribute to said instrument on the GDR stream. I could only think about how much it would have been enhanced by the inclusion of an old Irwin favorite, Lui Lui's "El Touchee".
	4:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all from the land of 1000 Cracker Barrels & retired Jewish parents! Was listening on TuneIn Radio. Nice pic of Irwin there.Warm wind advisory here.
	4:10pm Stanley: Glenn - that's brilliant.
	4:10pm northguineahills: See everyone later, got some errands to run... cheers!
	4:11pm Matt from Springfield: "Along Comes Mary"!! YES!
	4:11pm Matt from Springfield: Run an errand marathon, NGH! (Not an errant marathon, I hope...)
	👻 4:12pm rrg: I love this separated-tracks stuff. I can't get enough of it.
	4:13pm Unclear on the concept: Oh God, I'm going deaf, I can't hear the singing!
	4:13pm Matt from Springfield: @rrg: I LOVE doing this with Audacity, creating instro/reduction tracks out of mp3s. Occasionally you'll get a near perfect example. The Buckinghams "Kind of a Drag" produced an excellent backing track!
	👻 4:13pm Alison Porchnik: I didn't remember the Association being so swingin.
	4:13pm Stanley: @ Carmichael - looks like One Direction are in a spot of trouble (but don't tell the kids) www.youtube.com...
	4:13pm Droll: RRG, Stems are an amazing resource, especially for musicians to study. Sadly they always fall into the hands of evil mashup-doers.
	4:15pm Caryn: @glenn: oh man, that gif makes me think of the Mayor of Scunthorpe's appearances on "Never Mind the Buzzcocks"...
	4:16pm glenn: link please!
	👻 4:16pm rrg: I think that Association album might be "And Then Along Comes...The Association". (Not what you wrote.) If you have the CD in front of you there, can you please double-check?
	4:16pm Matt from Springfield: Like a modern-ish Cristina Monet!
	4:17pm braveness23: This Everybody's Slimmin' is the best song ever.
	👻 4:17pm rrg: @Droll, where can I find me some stems?
	4:17pm Brett: Totally digging this
	4:17pm Caryn: @Stanley: maybe someone should tell One Direction that it is easy to ID sick koalas by the brown patches on their fur. On second thought, no-one tell them. It'll be funnier.
	4:18pm Matt from Springfield: Hooray classic Irwin bed!
	4:20pm glenn: mmmmmm. dagmar krause.
	4:21pm Matt from Springfield: It's their fourthcoming album?? I never heard of their first-, second- or thirdcoming albums...
	4:23pm Matt from Springfield: Junk shop glam comps! I have those! I like that stuff! I'll be sure to check that Archive, since that's the sort of band I'd probably buy their whole album. Is that "Irwintune™" or something like it? EFD sounded exactly like Irwin on mic.
	4:24pm Matt from Springfield: I despise Autotune, but would TOTALLY listen to those same songs if they were recorded in Irwintune™!
	4:25pm Mike East: @Stanley - thanks for that! @Carm - yes, unfortunately, 1D seems to be her favorite at the moment. She does however enjoy the records I spin as well, so all is not lost.
	4:27pm Dijital Distorshun: I don't appreciate you playing rhythms blatantly ripped off from the Beach Boys "Sail On Sailor"! Take it out!
	4:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Nothin' you can do to stop young kids from liking those pop monsters--just have the assurance that good records are forever, the kidz pop will rapidly become uncool and purged from iPods and Radio Disney everywhere.
	4:32pm Matt from Springfield: "Where But For Caravan Would I?" .. a question Irwin asks himself every week for a while, it seems.
	👻 4:33pm G: Caravan reminds me of other semiforgotten southern UK prog bands of the early 70s. Camel, for example. Their 2002 album A Nod and a Wink was pretty nice. Complete with a 9-11 song, "For Today"
	4:34pm Mike East: Thanks for the reassurance. All Things Must Pass. (also a great record)
	4:34pm Irwin: Richard Sinclair was in both groups (Camel & Caravan).
	4:34pm common: epic
	4:36pm Matt from Springfield: Wait! I'm a work! I can't get my stuffed animal and bottle of Jack to deal with the end of the world!
	4:36pm Marmalade kitty: that was quick and i didnt feel a thing..!
	👻 4:36pm EAS: THE DISK JOCKEY IS ABOUT TO PLAY SOME NEW COUNTRY. PROCEED TO THE NEAREST FALLOUT SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING.
	👻 4:36pm rrg: Why does Irwin always get stuck with the weekly end-of-the-world-machine test?
	👻 4:37pm Alison Porchnik: Best Lennon cover ever
	4:37pm Caryn: Man, if you want to hear Camel, WFMU is the place to do it. At least it's the only place I've ever heard them played. (Thanks, Julie & Chris M!)
	4:37pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: I didn't comment on "evil mashup-doers", because that really depends on who does mash-ups and how well they do a particular one. Now THIS I'll agree! EVIL mash-up!
	4:37pm braveness23: @EAS No, it's just another weird mashup
	4:38pm Green Mountain Man Mark: I mentioned this before but here it goes again. Back in college we played a drinking game where we listened to Van Halen and had to take a sip every time Dave did his squelchy holler.
	4:38pm BSI: holy crap.
	4:39pm Matt from Springfield: On the other hand, this combo of songs is obscenely juxtaposed in a way that makes it kind of funny. The worst mash-up I've heard on FMU was probably RIAA's "Sweet California Girl O' Mine" - yes, GnR with the Beach Boys. Totally not necessary or pleasant.
	4:39pm Mike East: I imagine that Might Mike must have giggled himself into a coma when he was mixing that.
	4:40pm braveness23: dang, that sounds like Peter Murphy
	4:40pm chillicheeba: lols
	4:41pm Droll: MfS, Downloading some software to let you play two songs at once doesn't even pass the sniff test. I don't think extracting the stems out of a RockBand video game makes someone clever or creative and it sure as hell counts as stealing. I don't think you want to pick this fight with me.
	4:41pm Matt from Springfield: Agree, Caryn! I wouldn't have known about that slick late 70s/80s prog band without Julie intro-ing me to them. Robert Plant tells WFMU to "Camel On!" Hello Kitty as well! Glad it wasn't the end of the world, I must clutch a plush toy in one arm and a tall bottle of whiskey in another. Seems appropriate somehow :)
	4:44pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: People take Rockband stems and make mashups out of that? No, I don't mean to endorse that kind of laziness. I like mashups mixed from individual tracks. GHP, RIAA, Party Ben, Team9 and others are great at doing them.
	👻 4:44pm rrg: This is even odder if you're listening in headphones.
	4:46pm Irwin: Hope you folks are diggin' Nick Brooke's CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY MUSIC.
	4:47pm braveness23: <facepalm>
	4:47pm Matt from Springfield: Contemp country done properly, Irwin! :)
	4:47pm Marmalade Kitty: Good evening!
	4:47pm glenn: play some glen meadmore. that'll fit right in.
	4:48pm Carmichael: Man, I had a meeting and missed Caravan. I love both them and Camel (and Kayak, for that matter). But I've never heard of this comp. Is it new?
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: And now Dylan too!
	4:49pm Mr. Lowry: Which country?
	👻 4:50pm G: @Carm: The World Is Yours - The Anthology 1968-76 -- 2010, says amazon
	4:50pm Droll: MfS, Where do you think GHP, RIAA, Party Ben, and Team9 are getting their stems? Are they getting licenses from UMG? Sony? Warner?
	4:50pm braveness23: True confession: I am catious about who I recommend WFMU to ;-)
	4:51pm Caryn: I agree wholeheartedly with Rich Hall's views on contemporary country music. There are always a few exceptions that prove the rule, however.
	4:56pm Matt from Springfield: It's organic, you know, like junk food!
	4:57pm Marmalade Kitty: lolughhhlolr
	4:59pm Green Mountain Man Mark: my yahoo email was hacked and everyone is getting some advert spams sent from me. I think I fixed it but sorry.
	5:00pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: Most of them started mash-ups in the early 00s, before those games were ever out. They probably took individual tracks off the CDs using (probably Apple) software. As for licensing, I don't think the labels issue licenses at all, unless it's for a track for their own albums (e.g. "Rapture Riders"). I got all their tracks posted on their websites for free, they're not making any money from those.
	5:03pm ?: But I can use some Cialis GMMM!
	5:07pm Andrew Waterloo: Mash-Up started up as a DIY bedroom thing. It usually just combining two songs along without a lot of filtering.
	5:11pm Mike East: Oh damn, I want a muffaletta. One of the only New Orleans specialties i didn't get to try when I went down there.
	5:12pm Matt from Springfield: @Andrew: That "Tom's Diner" remix from the early 90s has been called the first mash-up. So Suzanne Vega is the Mother of the MP3, and the Mash-Up!
	5:13pm Droll: MfS, That's my point: The musicians who spend years learning to play, work hard writing songs, and have to buy expensive instruments are getting nothing for all their effort. And you're right, neither is the crook who used the tracks. If you can explain why this is a good thing, I'm sure the musicians not earning anything will benefit from your insights.
	5:14pm Andrew Waterloo: @Droll, the simplistic answer is exposure.
	5:15pm glenn: if marc bolan was from nola, carburetor could easily hve been muffaletta.
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: @Mike: What?!? You were in NOLA, and you DIDN'T try that?? That's one of my priorities. An Italian deli makes a version of that around here, pretty good olive-spread Italian sub but I want to try the original article (at Central Grocery: en.wikipedia.org...)
	5:17pm Droll: AW, Exposure of what to who? Zero times 100 million is zero. I can't take 1M YouTube views to the grocery store to buy dinner.
	5:18pm Mike East: @Matt - I didn't have a car, so I was at the whim of my hosts to get around. according to them, po' boys where the top priority.
	5:21pm Matt from Springfield: @Droll: In any case, piracy of the original tracks is what's really cheating musicians out of earnings. If you think mixing stuff around for your own and listeners amusement should come with a publishing royalty, why not a royalty every time you play a song? But I like artistic recombining of existing fragments to make a new thing--it's what folk music has done for generations. Most on WFMU love the concept of mash-ups, but you can always make an argument against them.
	5:22pm Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Po' boys are a priority! I've never had one of those myself. Did you go to little shacks and corner shops where they make them fresh? A co-worker says that those places make them the best.
	5:24pm MasterofPuberty: Amor de Días? Sounds like WEEN!
	5:25pm Laura L: Too busy to write today, but thanks especially for the Amor de Días, Irwin.
	👻 5:27pm rrg: Hello, probable Laura.
	5:27pm Mike East: @Matt - got a few from a few different joints. The best was a place that was set up kinda like a small cafeteria.
	👻 5:30pm rrg: That's not really an album name, is it?
	5:31pm Matt from Springfield: standing O Go Keili! Go Shirelles! Go Carole! Go 52nd anniversaries!
	👻 5:32pm G: Sorry, Cali called for a "consult." Back now
	5:32pm Irwin: @rrg: No, she mentioned in email w/mp3 attached.
	👻 5:33pm rrg: That was a nice track, I must admit.
	👻 5:34pm G: I can comment while working online (asynchronous). I can't phonetalk (synchronous) and listen and comment. Gotta figure the latter out better :)
	5:35pm conrad: Play some Jim nabors! did he ever record "Hawaiian Wedding Song"?
	5:36pm Laura L: @rrg Hi ya, it's probably me, yes, it seems to have been me all day long even through Ken's horrible astral music this morning.
	5:36pm Matt from Springfield: @G: Listen to the show, speak your comments to the caller, and type your consulting advice into the comments board. They should receive your message one way or another :)
	👻 5:36pm rrg: How's Cali doing? Better, I hope. Not whining about the cold so much.
	5:36pm Droll: MfS, Licensed streaming services (Spotify, Pandora, etc) pay a royalty every time you listen to a song, so that's already the norm. Film and TV have always paid for music that way. It's not my idea and it's not new or weird. Traditional fusion by a musician playing a a mix of styles on a musical instrument (possibly from yet another style) is not comparable to taking credit for using the laptop your parents bought you to do homework on to play a loop sampled from someone else's song.
	5:36pm glenn: don't sweat it, g. most people who think they are good multitaskers actually suck at it.
	5:37pm Matt from Springfield: @conrad: He recorded "You Are The Sunshine of My Life". Can be found on a Golden Throats comp.
	👻 5:38pm G: The consult is oral on the phone. that kinda kills streaming, and i gotta listen to the person and think about what to say next, hard to think of what to type, too, on a totally unrelated topic! :(
	👻 5:39pm rrg: This song (well, the original Bee Gees version) ended "P&T Get Killed". Directed by Arthur Penn.
	5:40pm Parq: Lovely version of that BeeGees song, there.
	👻 5:42pm rrg: I love the early Beach Boys, too.
	5:43pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: I thought you said "Beachys" :) @Parq: Lovely!
	👻 5:43pm G: We're supposed to chat amongst ourselves?
	5:44pm Caryn: @rrg: that's what I think of whenever I hear the song nowadays
	5:47pm Matt from Springfield: @G: I'm chatting within myself.
	5:47pm Matt from Springfield: Also, liking this 2-Track Mind album! Thanks Irwin for playing from it!
	👻 5:48pm G: aren't we all, Matt. otherwise we'd never figure out what to say, or even what we think. interior monomanialogue
	5:51pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooo! Syd! "Matilda Mother"! (Was "dedicated to Linda Ann Hills" part of the orig. title?) @G: Monomanialogue! I know that sensation!
	5:52pm Carmichael: Now you're playin' some music, Irwin!
	👻 5:54pm G: great ending. save the very best till last...
	5:55pm SheWolf: YES!
	👻 5:57pm G: now i know what bryce is really going for :P j/k
	5:57pm Matt from Springfield: Amazing PGC!
	👻 5:58pm rrg: Eraserhead? I haven't thought about that in a very long time.
	👻 5:58pm rrg: I guess it's time to say g'night. G'night.
	👻 5:59pm G: that John Luther Adams CD has 25 mins of that Clusters on a Quad Grid...
	5:59pm Parq: Another sultry sail down the river of the sublime and the ridiculous. Thanks, Ol' Pal I.
	6:00pm Matt from Springfield: Awesome program, Irwin! So many "Likes" tonight! Have a good night, everyone!
	6:01pm Listening Out There: Bye Thanks Bye Thanks Bye Thanks Bye Thanks Bye Thanks Bye Thanks
