Listener comments!
	👻 3:02pm rrg: Hi de hi de hi de ho.
	👻 3:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Welcome, Don Bolles!
	👻 3:02pm rrg: Did I spell that right?
	3:03pm Droll: Irwin, if The Good Doctor is still within shouting range, please shout out my love and appreciation! Fucking brilliant show.
	3:03pm Mike East: Yeah, I gotta say, The Good Dr. is the Shit!
	👻 3:04pm rrg: That's a compliment these days, apparently.
	3:06pm Mike East: these days, and for the last 20 years or so.
	3:06pm common: wow! that photo is something. pretty much what I do after work everyday.
	3:06pm Dominick: Heavens to Murgatroyd!
	👻 3:07pm rrg: Please don't ever tell me I'm the shit. Even if I am.
	3:08pm Mike East: you got it, rrg. :)
	3:09pm Caryn: Gotta say, the prospect of all the weirdness Bolles surely has lined up is enticing. Now if only I could hear a damn thing.
	3:10pm fleep: Skip was best part.
	3:13pm Caryn: I'm suddenly wondering what, exactly, was Nutri-Bio?
	3:14pm fleep: www.nutrabio.com
	3:20pm Ike: Wrong spelling, Fleep, if the playlist is correct. Googling the correct spelling gets an industrial-looking French infant formula site. Probably not the same thing as in that song, not if everybody is eating it. I think I'd rather be with the fancy space people than with the Nutri-Bio eaters.
	3:21pm Brian in UK: Where can I get that wallpaper?
	👻 3:22pm rrg: Just download it from here, Brian.
	3:23pm Mike East: hey Ike - you seen that new Korean restaurant on 10th Ave...Hell's Chicken? Seems to me like a better name for a fried chicken joint.
	3:23pm Caryn: @Brian: I wonder if the photo blog can guide you along?
	3:24pm fleep: Well, if you're going with the hyphen, then ‘nutri-bio' is also the final treated product of wastewater treatment otherwise known as biosolids. www.nutri-bio.co.uk...
	3:26pm Caryn: Is that ET or Gollum?
	3:26pm Ike: Mike, awesome restaurant name! I haven't been over to the west side much lately. I've heard there's a great new Thai place at 9th & 37th, Larb Ubol.
	3:26pm Droll: The Trifecta list has been updated to reflect FSP. rotang.com/trifecta.html
	3:26pm Philthywoman: So these days apparently you can buy Deer Placenta in pill form from Nutra Bio. I feel like they must have been responsible for those old ads about how "Skinny girls don't have Oomph!" and skinny guys are wimps... in the back of Archie comic books. I wish I could send you a picture.
	3:27pm Caryn: Next "special edition" release of ET: not only guns turned into walkietalkies, but ET comes back in the end, and then decides to go all Carmen Sandiego on Eliot.
	👻 3:28pm rrg: @Droll: It was right in front of me and I missed it.
	3:28pm Caryn: Yeah, sure, ET is gonna score a touchdown with those stubby legs...
	3:29pm Mike East: @Ike - Nice. Looks good. I'll have to give them a call one of these days and see if they come this far north.
	3:29pm creddie: this ET song is EPIC
	3:29pm common: fuckin' great, weird stuffs here!
	3:31pm common: yars revenge! used to play that all the time! my friend just got this 7" and the one about centipede.
	3:31pm Green Mountain Man Mark: I want to hear the E.T. voice yell "Hello, Sweden!!!"
	3:32pm zool: That ET thing...wow.
	👻 3:34pm rrg: I want some chocolate too. This isn't right.
	3:35pm Green Mountain Man Mark: Now I want to see an episode of Where are they Now to find out what the fuck E.T. has been up to since the 8os. Remember when he got wasted in the movie?
	3:36pm Caryn: That Braden track reminded me of the old Italian scifi flick I watched yesterday. Absolute dreck, but hey, music by Ennio Morricone! Not that you could tell a lot of the time.
	3:36pm Caryn: @GMMMark: well, he and his family were in the Star Wars prequels. So... not doing so great.
	3:37pm Philthywoman: Hi Common. Lovin this musical whimsy too!
	3:37pm Ike: Caryn, just found the "real" Nutri-Bio called out in a Senate report on "Frauds and Deceptions Affecting the Elderly" from 1965 (PDF online). The FDA called it "food faddism gone wild. It would take several pages to list all the false claims...." Not much other info there. I wonder what crap exactly was in it? Besides yummy deer placenta, ha ha.
	3:38pm creddie: Bet many here visit 366weirdmovies[dot]com too!
	3:38pm Sean D. Daily: From Wikipedia's article on "Yar's Revenge": "A reimagining was released as a downloadable title on April 12th, 2011... In this version, the titular Yar has been reimagined as a humanoid female in mechanized power armor." Because why not.
	3:38pm common: Hey Philthywoman! Watchoo up to?
	3:39pm Caryn: @Ike: I wonder if one of the many false claims was that "everybody's eating Nutri-Bio"?
	3:40pm Caryn: Hey, at least it's not a musical based on "A Doll's House". Although a punk version of that or "Hedda Gabler" sounds like a workable idea.
	3:42pm Green Mountain Man Mark: E.T. getting wasted www.youtube.com...
	3:43pm Faye: this rules
	3:44pm Caryn: Gotta say, this is way better than I was expecting.
	3:46pm Caryn: Newman!
	3:57pm Droll: What happened to Incest Cattle? I liked that track and can't find anything on the internetz.
	3:58pm Caryn: I'm sure Bolles has some info, Droll.
	👻 4:00pm rrg: Yeah, right.
	4:00pm Sean D. Daily: It's "synesthete."
	4:03pm northguineahills: Damn, I live near Salome, but I'll be out of town on the 17th....
	4:05pm Irwin: Sean, do you want me to edit your comment to put the period inside the close quotes?
	👻 4:06pm rrg: If it were me...
	4:07pm Sean D. Daily: Sure, Irwin. Thanks.
	👻 4:08pm rrg: Actually my math/computing background leaves me torn concerning such choices.
	4:09pm Droll: Editor, could you also fix my fund/find typo? Thanks!
	4:12pm darue: it's so nice to hear Joe Frank on WFMU again.
	4:13pm Sean D. Daily: Hear, hear darue.
	4:16pm Mike East: I got a Joe Frank episode from the prize warehouse with my FMU Swag...looking forward to it.
	4:18pm tc: Caught the Cliff & Ivy stuff. Nice.
	4:24pm ?: this rules
	👻 4:29pm G: And that's the news from San Wobegon, where all the stories are dark, all the insights are chilling, and all the characters are a hot mess. :-)
	4:30pm Sean D. Daily: And if Raymond didn't go "REE REE REE REE" while he was stabbing Joe to death, I'd be very disappointed.
	👻 4:32pm G: The NPR credits were threatening to dwarf the story...
	4:36pm Sean D. Daily: I don't need you to tell me how extraordinary my song lyrics are. I need you to tell me how they much they suck and how I can fix them.
	👻 4:37pm rrg: That costs more than 200 bucks.
	4:39pm fleep: Thanks to Ike for the deep research in my absence (haircut) (yes, dolphin haircut).
	👻 4:39pm rrg: I have Octopus Woman Please Let Me Go. Son of a gun.
	👻 4:39pm rrg: But that was on an actual CD release.
	4:45pm fleep: Keep your ramrod in motion??
	👻 4:46pm rrg: There is a school of thought that says that the "artist" name on song-poem recordings should be the composer rather than the singer, since the singer is in some sense irrelevant. But I'm not sure I agree with that.
	4:46pm Droll: Song-poem session musician is such a dream job: all those styles, and such inspired verses! The musicians must not be able to hear the vocals or they'd never finish a take.
	4:46pm glenn: dear god: your son jeebus was a socialist. i'm just sayin'
	4:46pm Sean D. Daily: But what about AFTER I die?!
	4:46pm Droll: fleep, It's a commie thing.
	4:47pm crateslinger: Song poems touch the soul of WFMU. Bought a comp at a record fair like 20 years ago. Lent it to everybody. Don't have it no more.
	4:48pm northguineahills: I've heard Letter to a Christian, probably on Irwin's show, before.
	4:48pm crateslinger: I remember the lyrics, "Disco Disco Disco, I am going to Mount Kisco."
	4:48pm Listening Out There: The car wreck song is a well-established theme..."She's dead, she's dead"....
	4:48pm Laura L: Of course all this makes a listener yearn for Burmese Land composed by L. Hazelwood, but purportedly not Lee.
	4:49pm crateslinger: "I mostly eat morisco, so I can disco disco disco."
	4:49pm bloopy: this is great :)
	4:49pm Sean D. Daily: Dear Christian: Being not-a-Christian is AWESOME. We have sex and alcohol and chocolate. Love, Sean
	👻 4:50pm rrg: And bacon!
	4:51pm glenn: christians have bacon. mostly they don't have a sense of humour.
	👻 4:51pm Seanbelly: Whoa!
	👻 4:51pm rrg: I head that needle drop.
	👻 4:52pm G: Eric Clapton, eat your heart out
	👻 4:52pm rrg: Well, they have alcohol and chocolate and sex too, they just don't enjoy them as much as real people do.
	👻 4:53pm rrg: I don't like kids being hurt. Even in fiction.
	4:54pm crateslinger: I know some really awesome christians who drink and smoke and have sex. We shoot guns all day and then get drunk and I break their balls. I don't understand their faith, but we hang out.
	4:55pm fleep: Because "methamphetamine" is hard to rhyme.
	👻 4:55pm rrg: I may have missed the exposition: if this is a "new" song-poem compilation, where are they coming from?
	4:55pm timurf: I think I sent in the lyrics to this one circa 1977. Responded to an ad in a Spiderman comic. Where are my royalties.
	4:57pm Sean D. Daily: Speed will make you skinny and pale, kind of like Iggy Pop. So it has that going for it.
	4:58pm Irwin: @rrg: Not new recordings, a new compilation of mostly previously uncompiled s-p's.
	4:58pm Droll: rrg, Sounds like you got the moral of that song! These songs work! The 1st verse of this one (Strong Love) was rockin' in 5/4! Someone (Mr. LSD?) got their money's worth.
	👻 5:00pm G: one monkey toke over the line
	5:00pm MD: PUNKERS LIKE SPEED!!!
	👻 5:01pm rrg: Hey. I have "Believe In God Until You Die". Was that composed by "George D. Baucum"?
	👻 5:02pm G: apparently these lyricists figured namechecking drugs meant top 40 gold.
	5:02pm Sean D. Daily: Excuse me, point of order, junkies aren't usually identified with LSD. Junkies use heroin AKA junk. That's hippies you're thinking of.
	5:02pm MD: LEGALIZE IT ALL!!!
	👻 5:02pm rrg: I meant "Believe in God Until You Die."
	5:02pm hamburger: :)
	5:02pm efd: best legal ID ever.
	5:03pm Listening Out There: Guest abuse!
	5:03pm MD: GOD = DOPE!!!
	5:03pm Sean D. Daily: Nice vibrato, John.
	5:03pm Mike East: I saw a van advertising "Christian Electric: Electricians you can BELIEVE in" on the way into work yesterday
	👻 5:05pm rrg: Jeez. I have that one too ("My Daddy He Died in 1969").
	5:07pm Listening Out There: Drugs, sin, guest abuse....I'm going to have to take a shower after this show, I tells ya...
	5:09pm blee: Her sunlight goes downnnnn!
	5:09pm blee: Her sunlight goes downnnnn!
	5:09pm blee: Her sunlight goes downnnnn!
	5:09pm Sean D. Daily: The Saddest Story Ever Told? That's quite a claim. I better be slashing my wrists by the first chorus, guys.
	👻 5:11pm chris: wow
	👻 5:11pm G: Like the soul backing on this.
	5:12pm creddie: WOW!
	5:12pm glenn: ha! some of the most incompetent tradespeople i've been on jobs with are the most devout.
	5:14pm Mott: that was eerily similar to James Brown 'Im Black and Im Proud'....
	5:15pm Sean D. Daily: "Um, yeah, honey, now that we're married, could you stop calling me and kids your 'chocolate babies'?"
	5:16pm Droll: I'll have chocolate babies the rest of my life? Pure Brill Building.
	5:16pm MD: i'M rainbow !!!!
	👻 5:17pm G: this one's painful. oh wait, i guess they all were somehow :)
	👻 5:17pm rrg: "I can't stand pain." This song speaks to all of us.
	5:18pm blee: Love how the Ode to My Kidney Stones music is super chipper!
	5:18pm Laura L: Well, a kidney stone just turns a man's mind to song writin'.
	5:18pm Listening Out There: Is there another song about kidney stones? Can't say any come to mind...
	5:18pm MD: THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!!
	5:19pm Irwin: Dedicated to Michelle Boule.
	👻 5:19pm chris: here's a song subject I can get into
	5:20pm Ike: WOW.
	5:20pm Sean D. Daily: And the show makes a sudden left turn from weird and creepy into AWESOMELAND.
	5:21pm anonymous coward: who listens to this?!?!? really? who does that?
	👻 5:21pm rrg: But doctor, we need the eggs.
	5:22pm MD: Panties sprinkled with speed owned by a white person married to a black person.....WOW!!!!
	👻 5:22pm G: "The Duck Egg Walk" is actually a goose egg.
	5:24pm MD: Thank you!!! These songs have changed my life!!!! I'm going back to Booze and Drugs!!!
	5:25pm Sean D. Daily: I just starred the last four songs.
	5:25pm fleep: Vogon poetry. I'd know it anywhere.
	5:25pm Listening Out There: Just imagine being a recording engineer on these sessions...
	👻 5:26pm rrg: Too many key changes in this song. Otherwise it's perfect!
	5:26pm anonymous coward: imagine a recording engineer wiggling his toes to these songs, I know they're out there
	👻 5:27pm G: How much extra did they charge for the chipmunk effect?
	5:31pm creddie: is this show going to be on MP3 to download? I HAVE to have this.... the whole thing from E.T to Alvin
	5:31pm Droll: The guy specified "Real Helium Voice", not "Chipmunk Voice", so ultimately he wasn't charged for the effect.
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...had to work today - but even home for a minute of Irwin...
	👻 5:32pm rrg: You can grab it from the archive. If you grab it quickly enough (within a few weeks) it will be mp3.
	5:33pm glenn: you say values, i say insane bigoted ramblings.
	👻 5:33pm rrg: Ah, that song wasn't REALLY about duck eggs. There was an important subtext. I think.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - Archives only last a few weeks izzit -?!
	👻 5:34pm rrg: Tomayto, tomahto.
	5:34pm Droll: rrg, Pshaw! Next you'll tell me that song wasn't really about a panty collection!
	👻 5:34pm rrg: Archives are forever but getting them as mp3 is time limited. Or perhaps I just haven't found the secret yet.
	5:35pm Listening Out There: A New Level of Irritainment(tm)
	👻 5:35pm rrg: I haven't tried to reverse-engineer it for a while.
	5:36pm Alison Porchnik: My mom seZ: I almost want to listen to this stuff!
	5:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I have no desire to serenade the rock I peed out - Thx the same...
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh yes - gotta check this whole Episode awlright!
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: : D
	5:47pm Sean D. Daily: THE BRAIN! Who knew thinking could be SO EXCITING!
	5:48pm anonymous coward: the brain's got a computer for a brain?!?!
	5:48pm Listening Out There: If The Brain is soundtrack for a film, we simply must see it....
	5:49pm Sean D. Daily: @Listening Out There: YES. WE MUST DO THIS THING.
	👻 5:49pm Alison Porchnik: In the words of Brian Dewan, "Feel the Brain."
	5:50pm Droll: The Brain is practically cartoon music! Brain and brain! Now we know "What Is Brain?!" Thanks Mr. Bolles for all the amazing song-poems, Incest Cattle, pre-Medicine Lainer, etc. Please come back soon!
	5:50pm anonymous coward: oh wow, almost as good as the beatles. this revere dude. if only he had copied more from them.
	5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...playing what most people think is 'the 60s' is just a plot by Conservatives to make us forget this kewl shite...
	5:50pm Listening Out There: Mark Lindsey was just far out. What can you say...
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - ML just did a record LittleSteven plays. It's okay!
	5:52pm northguineahills: This was a lot of fun Don & Irwin!
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - Brain had me thinking of Underdog & 'After the Fox' theme by TheHollies w/ Peter Sellers bits...
	👻 5:54pm rrg: Thank you for a most entertaining afternoon, chaps. Much more fun than working. Let's do it again some time. What's for supper?
	5:54pm Sean D. Daily: I will listen to ANYTHING from a band with a name like "Rancid Yak Butter."
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...very BuddhistPunk...
	5:56pm fleep: Laugh-In damage.
	👻 5:56pm Alison Porchnik: Mom: "This reminds me of the way Eraserhead made me feel when the radiator woman sang." and "We could have used this at Abu Graihb"
	5:57pm blee: Great show Irwin and Don. Lots of chuckles from those Song Poems!
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - the Radiator Song was written by Peter Ivers of NewWaveTheater fame...I was surprised to read...
	5:58pm fleep: Set to: A Secretary Is Not A Toy.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& not surprised...
	5:58pm Laura L: A fabulous conclusion to a splendid show--no joke! Thanks, fellas.
	👻 5:58pm Alison Porchnik: OK, Mom could deal with Rancid Yak Butter but this song just drove her out of the room.
	5:58pm Sean D. Daily: Fantastic show, Irwin, and great choice of songs, Don! Thank you so much!
	5:59pm fleep: Like a dark ride for the BRAIN. Thanks Irwin and Don.
	5:59pm anonymous coward: a mind changing experience
	5:59pm Listening Out There: Thanks, Don! "...and my soul's been psychedelicized..." :)

	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...can't wait to hear the other 2&1/2 hours!...
	6:01pm green mountain man mark: Go to hell west coast
	6:01pm green mountain man mark: Go to hell west coast
	6:02pm blee: Mics are still on!
	6:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Callahan Cartoon: 'Dif Between NY & LA' : LA panel: Man in shorts w/ palm trees saying 'Have a nice day' - but thinking - 'Got to hell!' NY panel: Man in suit saying 'Go to hell!' - but thinking 'Have a Nice Day'...

	3:24pm fleep: Well, if you're going with the hyphen, then ‘nutri-bio' is also the final treated product of wastewater treatment otherwise known as biosolids. www.nutri-bio.co.uk...
	3:26pm Caryn: Is that ET or Gollum?
	3:26pm Ike: Mike, awesome restaurant name! I haven't been over to the west side much lately. I've heard there's a great new Thai place at 9th & 37th, Larb Ubol.
	3:26pm Droll: The Trifecta list has been updated to reflect FSP. rotang.com/trifecta.html
	3:26pm Philthywoman: So these days apparently you can buy Deer Placenta in pill form from Nutra Bio. I feel like they must have been responsible for those old ads about how "Skinny girls don't have Oomph!" and skinny guys are wimps... in the back of Archie comic books. I wish I could send you a picture.
	3:27pm Caryn: Next "special edition" release of ET: not only guns turned into walkietalkies, but ET comes back in the end, and then decides to go all Carmen Sandiego on Eliot.
	👻 3:28pm rrg: @Droll: It was right in front of me and I missed it.
	3:28pm Caryn: Yeah, sure, ET is gonna score a touchdown with those stubby legs...
	3:29pm Mike East: @Ike - Nice. Looks good. I'll have to give them a call one of these days and see if they come this far north.
	3:29pm creddie: this ET song is EPIC
	3:29pm common: fuckin' great, weird stuffs here!
	3:31pm common: yars revenge! used to play that all the time! my friend just got this 7" and the one about centipede.
	3:31pm Green Mountain Man Mark: I want to hear the E.T. voice yell "Hello, Sweden!!!"
	3:32pm zool: That ET thing...wow.
	👻 3:34pm rrg: I want some chocolate too. This isn't right.
	3:35pm Green Mountain Man Mark: Now I want to see an episode of Where are they Now to find out what the fuck E.T. has been up to since the 8os. Remember when he got wasted in the movie?
	3:36pm Caryn: That Braden track reminded me of the old Italian scifi flick I watched yesterday. Absolute dreck, but hey, music by Ennio Morricone! Not that you could tell a lot of the time.
	3:36pm Caryn: @GMMMark: well, he and his family were in the Star Wars prequels. So... not doing so great.
	3:37pm Philthywoman: Hi Common. Lovin this musical whimsy too!
	3:37pm Ike: Caryn, just found the "real" Nutri-Bio called out in a Senate report on "Frauds and Deceptions Affecting the Elderly" from 1965 (PDF online). The FDA called it "food faddism gone wild. It would take several pages to list all the false claims...." Not much other info there. I wonder what crap exactly was in it? Besides yummy deer placenta, ha ha.
	3:38pm creddie: Bet many here visit 366weirdmovies[dot]com too!
	3:38pm Sean D. Daily: From Wikipedia's article on "Yar's Revenge": "A reimagining was released as a downloadable title on April 12th, 2011... In this version, the titular Yar has been reimagined as a humanoid female in mechanized power armor." Because why not.
	3:38pm common: Hey Philthywoman! Watchoo up to?
	3:39pm Caryn: @Ike: I wonder if one of the many false claims was that "everybody's eating Nutri-Bio"?
	3:40pm Caryn: Hey, at least it's not a musical based on "A Doll's House". Although a punk version of that or "Hedda Gabler" sounds like a workable idea.
	3:42pm Green Mountain Man Mark: E.T. getting wasted www.youtube.com...
	3:43pm Faye: this rules
	3:44pm Caryn: Gotta say, this is way better than I was expecting.
	3:46pm Caryn: Newman!
	3:57pm Droll: What happened to Incest Cattle? I liked that track and can't find anything on the internetz.
	3:58pm Caryn: I'm sure Bolles has some info, Droll.
	👻 4:00pm rrg: Yeah, right.
	4:00pm Sean D. Daily: It's "synesthete."
	4:03pm northguineahills: Damn, I live near Salome, but I'll be out of town on the 17th....
	4:05pm Irwin: Sean, do you want me to edit your comment to put the period inside the close quotes?
	👻 4:06pm rrg: If it were me...
	4:07pm Sean D. Daily: Sure, Irwin. Thanks.
	👻 4:08pm rrg: Actually my math/computing background leaves me torn concerning such choices.
	4:09pm Droll: Editor, could you also fix my fund/find typo? Thanks!
	4:12pm darue: it's so nice to hear Joe Frank on WFMU again.
	4:13pm Sean D. Daily: Hear, hear darue.
	4:16pm Mike East: I got a Joe Frank episode from the prize warehouse with my FMU Swag...looking forward to it.
	4:18pm tc: Caught the Cliff & Ivy stuff. Nice.
	4:24pm ?: this rules
	👻 4:29pm G: And that's the news from San Wobegon, where all the stories are dark, all the insights are chilling, and all the characters are a hot mess. :-)
	4:30pm Sean D. Daily: And if Raymond didn't go "REE REE REE REE" while he was stabbing Joe to death, I'd be very disappointed.
	👻 4:32pm G: The NPR credits were threatening to dwarf the story...
	4:36pm Sean D. Daily: I don't need you to tell me how extraordinary my song lyrics are. I need you to tell me how they much they suck and how I can fix them.
	👻 4:37pm rrg: That costs more than 200 bucks.
	4:39pm fleep: Thanks to Ike for the deep research in my absence (haircut) (yes, dolphin haircut).
	👻 4:39pm rrg: I have Octopus Woman Please Let Me Go. Son of a gun.
	👻 4:39pm rrg: But that was on an actual CD release.
	4:45pm fleep: Keep your ramrod in motion??
	👻 4:46pm rrg: There is a school of thought that says that the "artist" name on song-poem recordings should be the composer rather than the singer, since the singer is in some sense irrelevant. But I'm not sure I agree with that.
	4:46pm Droll: Song-poem session musician is such a dream job: all those styles, and such inspired verses! The musicians must not be able to hear the vocals or they'd never finish a take.
	4:46pm glenn: dear god: your son jeebus was a socialist. i'm just sayin'
	4:46pm Sean D. Daily: But what about AFTER I die?!
	4:46pm Droll: fleep, It's a commie thing.
	4:47pm crateslinger: Song poems touch the soul of WFMU. Bought a comp at a record fair like 20 years ago. Lent it to everybody. Don't have it no more.
	4:48pm northguineahills: I've heard Letter to a Christian, probably on Irwin's show, before.
	4:48pm crateslinger: I remember the lyrics, "Disco Disco Disco, I am going to Mount Kisco."
	4:48pm Listening Out There: The car wreck song is a well-established theme..."She's dead, she's dead"....
	4:48pm Laura L: Of course all this makes a listener yearn for Burmese Land composed by L. Hazelwood, but purportedly not Lee.
	4:49pm crateslinger: "I mostly eat morisco, so I can disco disco disco."
	4:49pm bloopy: this is great :)
	4:49pm Sean D. Daily: Dear Christian: Being not-a-Christian is AWESOME. We have sex and alcohol and chocolate. Love, Sean
	👻 4:50pm rrg: And bacon!
	4:51pm glenn: christians have bacon. mostly they don't have a sense of humour.
	👻 4:51pm Seanbelly: Whoa!
	👻 4:51pm rrg: I head that needle drop.
	👻 4:52pm G: Eric Clapton, eat your heart out
	👻 4:52pm rrg: Well, they have alcohol and chocolate and sex too, they just don't enjoy them as much as real people do.
	👻 4:53pm rrg: I don't like kids being hurt. Even in fiction.
	4:54pm crateslinger: I know some really awesome christians who drink and smoke and have sex. We shoot guns all day and then get drunk and I break their balls. I don't understand their faith, but we hang out.
	4:55pm fleep: Because "methamphetamine" is hard to rhyme.
	👻 4:55pm rrg: I may have missed the exposition: if this is a "new" song-poem compilation, where are they coming from?
	4:55pm timurf: I think I sent in the lyrics to this one circa 1977. Responded to an ad in a Spiderman comic. Where are my royalties.
	4:57pm Sean D. Daily: Speed will make you skinny and pale, kind of like Iggy Pop. So it has that going for it.
	4:58pm Irwin: @rrg: Not new recordings, a new compilation of mostly previously uncompiled s-p's.
	4:58pm Droll: rrg, Sounds like you got the moral of that song! These songs work! The 1st verse of this one (Strong Love) was rockin' in 5/4! Someone (Mr. LSD?) got their money's worth.
	👻 5:00pm G: one monkey toke over the line
	5:00pm MD: PUNKERS LIKE SPEED!!!
	👻 5:01pm rrg: Hey. I have "Believe In God Until You Die". Was that composed by "George D. Baucum"?
	👻 5:02pm G: apparently these lyricists figured namechecking drugs meant top 40 gold.
	5:02pm Sean D. Daily: Excuse me, point of order, junkies aren't usually identified with LSD. Junkies use heroin AKA junk. That's hippies you're thinking of.
	5:02pm MD: LEGALIZE IT ALL!!!
	👻 5:02pm rrg: I meant "Believe in God Until You Die."
	5:02pm hamburger: :)
	5:02pm efd: best legal ID ever.
	5:03pm Listening Out There: Guest abuse!
	5:03pm MD: GOD = DOPE!!!
	5:03pm Sean D. Daily: Nice vibrato, John.
	5:03pm Mike East: I saw a van advertising "Christian Electric: Electricians you can BELIEVE in" on the way into work yesterday
	👻 5:05pm rrg: Jeez. I have that one too ("My Daddy He Died in 1969").
	5:07pm Listening Out There: Drugs, sin, guest abuse....I'm going to have to take a shower after this show, I tells ya...
	5:09pm blee: Her sunlight goes downnnnn!
	5:09pm blee: Her sunlight goes downnnnn!
	5:09pm blee: Her sunlight goes downnnnn!
	5:09pm Sean D. Daily: The Saddest Story Ever Told? That's quite a claim. I better be slashing my wrists by the first chorus, guys.
	👻 5:11pm chris: wow
	👻 5:11pm G: Like the soul backing on this.
	5:12pm creddie: WOW!
	5:12pm glenn: ha! some of the most incompetent tradespeople i've been on jobs with are the most devout.
	5:14pm Mott: that was eerily similar to James Brown 'Im Black and Im Proud'....
	5:15pm Sean D. Daily: "Um, yeah, honey, now that we're married, could you stop calling me and kids your 'chocolate babies'?"
	5:16pm Droll: I'll have chocolate babies the rest of my life? Pure Brill Building.
	5:16pm MD: i'M rainbow !!!!
	👻 5:17pm G: this one's painful. oh wait, i guess they all were somehow :)
	👻 5:17pm rrg: "I can't stand pain." This song speaks to all of us.
	5:18pm blee: Love how the Ode to My Kidney Stones music is super chipper!
	5:18pm Laura L: Well, a kidney stone just turns a man's mind to song writin'.
	5:18pm Listening Out There: Is there another song about kidney stones? Can't say any come to mind...
	5:18pm MD: THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!!
	5:19pm Irwin: Dedicated to Michelle Boule.
	👻 5:19pm chris: here's a song subject I can get into
	5:20pm Ike: WOW.
	5:20pm Sean D. Daily: And the show makes a sudden left turn from weird and creepy into AWESOMELAND.
	5:21pm anonymous coward: who listens to this?!?!? really? who does that?
	👻 5:21pm rrg: But doctor, we need the eggs.
	5:22pm MD: Panties sprinkled with speed owned by a white person married to a black person.....WOW!!!!
	👻 5:22pm G: "The Duck Egg Walk" is actually a goose egg.
	5:24pm MD: Thank you!!! These songs have changed my life!!!! I'm going back to Booze and Drugs!!!
	5:25pm Sean D. Daily: I just starred the last four songs.
	5:25pm fleep: Vogon poetry. I'd know it anywhere.
	5:25pm Listening Out There: Just imagine being a recording engineer on these sessions...
	👻 5:26pm rrg: Too many key changes in this song. Otherwise it's perfect!
	5:26pm anonymous coward: imagine a recording engineer wiggling his toes to these songs, I know they're out there
	👻 5:27pm G: How much extra did they charge for the chipmunk effect?
	5:31pm creddie: is this show going to be on MP3 to download? I HAVE to have this.... the whole thing from E.T to Alvin
	5:31pm Droll: The guy specified "Real Helium Voice", not "Chipmunk Voice", so ultimately he wasn't charged for the effect.
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...had to work today - but even home for a minute of Irwin...
	👻 5:32pm rrg: You can grab it from the archive. If you grab it quickly enough (within a few weeks) it will be mp3.
	5:33pm glenn: you say values, i say insane bigoted ramblings.
	👻 5:33pm rrg: Ah, that song wasn't REALLY about duck eggs. There was an important subtext. I think.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - Archives only last a few weeks izzit -?!
	👻 5:34pm rrg: Tomayto, tomahto.
	5:34pm Droll: rrg, Pshaw! Next you'll tell me that song wasn't really about a panty collection!
	👻 5:34pm rrg: Archives are forever but getting them as mp3 is time limited. Or perhaps I just haven't found the secret yet.
	5:35pm Listening Out There: A New Level of Irritainment(tm)
	👻 5:35pm rrg: I haven't tried to reverse-engineer it for a while.
	5:36pm Alison Porchnik: My mom seZ: I almost want to listen to this stuff!
	5:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I have no desire to serenade the rock I peed out - Thx the same...
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh yes - gotta check this whole Episode awlright!
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: : D
	5:47pm Sean D. Daily: THE BRAIN! Who knew thinking could be SO EXCITING!
	5:48pm anonymous coward: the brain's got a computer for a brain?!?!
	5:48pm Listening Out There: If The Brain is soundtrack for a film, we simply must see it....
	5:49pm Sean D. Daily: @Listening Out There: YES. WE MUST DO THIS THING.
	👻 5:49pm Alison Porchnik: In the words of Brian Dewan, "Feel the Brain."
	5:50pm Droll: The Brain is practically cartoon music! Brain and brain! Now we know "What Is Brain?!" Thanks Mr. Bolles for all the amazing song-poems, Incest Cattle, pre-Medicine Lainer, etc. Please come back soon!
	5:50pm anonymous coward: oh wow, almost as good as the beatles. this revere dude. if only he had copied more from them.
	5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...playing what most people think is 'the 60s' is just a plot by Conservatives to make us forget this kewl shite...
	5:50pm Listening Out There: Mark Lindsey was just far out. What can you say...
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - ML just did a record LittleSteven plays. It's okay!
	5:52pm northguineahills: This was a lot of fun Don & Irwin!
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - Brain had me thinking of Underdog & 'After the Fox' theme by TheHollies w/ Peter Sellers bits...
	👻 5:54pm rrg: Thank you for a most entertaining afternoon, chaps. Much more fun than working. Let's do it again some time. What's for supper?
	5:54pm Sean D. Daily: I will listen to ANYTHING from a band with a name like "Rancid Yak Butter."
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...very BuddhistPunk...
	5:56pm fleep: Laugh-In damage.
	👻 5:56pm Alison Porchnik: Mom: "This reminds me of the way Eraserhead made me feel when the radiator woman sang." and "We could have used this at Abu Graihb"
	5:57pm blee: Great show Irwin and Don. Lots of chuckles from those Song Poems!
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - the Radiator Song was written by Peter Ivers of NewWaveTheater fame...I was surprised to read...
	5:58pm fleep: Set to: A Secretary Is Not A Toy.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& not surprised...
	5:58pm Laura L: A fabulous conclusion to a splendid show--no joke! Thanks, fellas.
	👻 5:58pm Alison Porchnik: OK, Mom could deal with Rancid Yak Butter but this song just drove her out of the room.
	5:58pm Sean D. Daily: Fantastic show, Irwin, and great choice of songs, Don! Thank you so much!
	5:59pm fleep: Like a dark ride for the BRAIN. Thanks Irwin and Don.
	5:59pm anonymous coward: a mind changing experience
	5:59pm Listening Out There: Thanks, Don! "...and my soul's been psychedelicized..." :)
	👻 6:00pm rrg: Includes Indians too!
