Listener comments!
	👻 2:59pm rrg: Well, THAT was easy.
	👻 3:00pm rrg: It's the Nutmeg State, you know.
	3:00pm Green Mountain Man Mark: hmmm
	👻 3:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: I like the old headstones that have the flying owl of death on them. That's what I want to have.
	3:01pm Michael: You should see the Lower Silvermine Cemetery - oofaa.
	👻 3:01pm AnAnonymousParty: "Connecticut, when you gotta go, why not come here?"
	👻 3:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ironically, there was no US flag in existence in 1765, much less one with 50 stars.
	3:03pm Lars: hello from northern part of sweden.... Im always stoned painting to your show.......
	3:06pm Droll: The tombstones are probably less anachronistic.
	👻 3:06pm G: They were just dying to get in.
	3:06pm Sean D. Daily: Hello to everyone on the eve of destruction! www.youtube.com...
	3:08pm Green Mountain Man Mark: I wonder if we could change the Flag.
	👻 3:11pm G: Irwin's show, and all that jazz... As far as the larger culture is concerned at this late date, a century of amazing jazz is about as mainstream any more as anything in Songs in the Key of Z. Their Loss.
	3:11pm Laura L: Good thing they put up that gate and piled up those rocks or some bad kids could get into that cemetery.
	3:12pm Wretch: "Upper Silvermine"? I hardly know 'er!
	👻 3:12pm G: I thought everyone in CT was dead anyhow.
	👻 3:22pm rrg: Three hours? THREE HOURS?
	3:23pm Taylor: Yep, the cover of Jazz in the Space Age is indeed Pew! Pew! In two versions, no less: http://www.jazz.com/assets/2008/1/9/albumcoverGeorgeRussell-JazzInTheSpaceAge.jpg?1199874435 http://www.parisjazzcorner.com/en/pochs_g/064685.jpg
	3:27pm r i s k y: Ken played this earlier today. YOU'RE SLIPPIN IRWIN! Lol
	👻 3:29pm rrg: Ken's not the boss of Irwin. At least I don't think he is.
	3:30pm Irwin: I remember Ken. He's the morning post-drive guy, right?
	3:30pm Listening Out There: Lydia Pence!
	👻 3:30pm rrg: Right after JM in the AM, right.
	3:32pm Green Mountain Man Mark: What is up with this Ken stuff on the comments. Let us feel Irwin on his show this evening.
	👻 3:32pm G: Irwin played Quadron near the top of last week's show. Who stole what? :p
	👻 3:34pm rrg: Evening? Oh, right, I forgot that Vermont is three hours ahead of us.
	3:40pm Droll: By "us" you must mean the folks who are three hours ahead of us, way over here.
	👻 3:41pm G: Some of us are totally timezoned out.
	👻 3:43pm rrg: By "us" I mean you and me, Droll.
	3:45pm Caryn: Man, my timezone suddenly feels so distant...
	3:46pm Droll: Let us consult us over here in Upper Silvermine.
	3:46pm Peteski: What did I miss?
	👻 3:47pm rrg: We talked about Ken. No big deal.
	3:48pm Droll: I had an email exchange with Ken last week, I thought he was an intern. Super nice guy, but doesn't seem to know much about the station.
	3:49pm Peteski: Oh, the german noise dj?
	3:51pm Taylor: A reminder to the universe - the Rubber House-produced video for "State of the Art" is magnificent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWIKQMBBTtk
	3:55pm Irwin: Biff Rose turned 76 yesterday.
	👻 3:56pm G: Does that make him old enough to know better yet?
	👻 4:02pm G: That's a new record, 90 seconds in and I'm already depressed :-)
	4:03pm Green Mountain Man Mark: Vermont is Eastern Time just like WFMU
	👻 4:05pm G: He's really pulling out all the stops on this one...
	4:06pm Peteski: I see where this is going (everywhere)
	👻 4:06pm G: it's goin' DOWN DOWN DOWN
	4:07pm Droll: It's like a compilation of National Enquirer headlines in narrative form.
	👻 4:08pm G: @droll: bingo. or a condensation of 50 years of tv soap operas :)
	4:08pm steve: you're in a Joe Frank monologue! run!
	👻 4:09pm rrg: It was a little joke, GMMM. ("Extremely little, ensign.")
	👻 4:10pm G: patiently awaiting the next negative peripeteia. can't be more than two minutes :)
	👻 4:11pm AnAnonymousParty: And then the children became teenagers and turned on them like drunk, cornered honey badgers.
	4:12pm Caryn: To be fair, a drunk honey badger might be more mellow, and less likely to go for the testicles. Or maybe not.
	4:13pm Chris from Stroud England: Don't usually catch this show live. Always listen to the pop up next day though. Brilliant and inspiring dude. Joe Frank is a somebody that's for sure. Best from Stroud.
	👻 4:13pm G: the world according to frank: life--what a raw deal...
	👻 4:21pm AnAnonymousParty: I called it.
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey Kids! ...joining in late ...this JoeFrank - too much like real life, man...what kinda writin' is that...
	👻 4:22pm G: Joe Frank: Since 1982, making _As I Lay Dying_ look like a light farce.
	4:22pm Caryn: Cue "And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon..."
	4:22pm Ike: Great, hypnotic backing music. The story isn't one of Joe's better ones, though, IMHO, and I don't think you can make a kid dyslexic that way.
	👻 4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think Joe Frank's moral for this story is "Count your blessings."
	👻 4:24pm G: or: There is No Gravity, The Earth Sucks.
	4:26pm Caryn: @G: I think Joe Frank is fully on board with gravity. After all, it doesn't pull us towards the ground, it actually pushes us down. (Heck, if our internal pressure didn't balance it out, it would squish us.)
	4:26pm Robert: Aw, come on, Joe...at least let someone from the family find a 4 leaf clover, or get an extra candy from a vending machine.
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The house smells like babies.' ...sorta comment I found always endears ya to moms...
	👻 4:27pm G: Nah, someone would kick a machine that didn't give the paid for candy bar and end up a paraplegic when the machine fell on him
	4:27pm steve: im not even paying attention to the story and im depressed
	4:27pm Ike: Ha, Robert! Heh. Mmmm, candy.
	4:28pm Caryn: @RRN63: depends on whether they take that to mean "it has that new baby smell" or "it smells like crap and vomit".
	4:28pm Caryn: @G: that reminds me of the statistic that more people are killed each year by vending machines than are killed by wolves.
	4:30pm Jay/London: hi been here from the start very cool show
	👻 4:30pm G: there are way more vending machines than wolves, where people are...
	4:31pm SheWolf: Just watched Carnival of Souls last night. :D
	4:31pm Caryn: Heh, when this started, I instantly thought I was watching an old B horror film at the drive-in or something...
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ken fHP: Re them tombstone owls: Read a great book called 'The Puritan Way of Death' by David. E. Stannard about the evolving sybolism on tombstones & related social meanings - not a large timesink of a book... : www.amazon.com...
	4:32pm Peteski: Wait, is that the vending machine they're pulling out of the river?
	4:33pm Robert: You know, he would be a meanie by letting one of them find a 4 leaf clover only to go on to say it was attached to an IED left by the terrorists, and now "Stumpy" has only a 1 leaf clover.
	4:34pm Caryn: @Peteski: hah! It's a good movie, though. Very predictable end nowadays, of course, considering the myriad of similar plots done since.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: awlright! Spinach! - that crazy Bosstown sound - sure to be the next big trend after Psychedelic San Francisco...I'm just not used to hearing it in this Fidelity...
	4:36pm Robert: Yeah, Caryn? Well, how many wolves will give change? Answer that, huh? So we'll see who's better.
	👻 4:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Rev. Rabbit!
	4:37pm Caryn: @Robert: and how many wolves steal your money and refuse to give you the candy bar or soda you bought?
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...prob. read about 'Carnival' in 'The Monster Show' - but I ain't seen it & don't remember...everybody talks about it tho' - & sounds like a bitchin' soundtrack...
	👻 4:37pm G: wolves have enough sense to stay away from people, if they have a choice. not a few don't have enough sense to avoid fighting with a vending machine that outweighs them 5 to 1.
	4:38pm Wolfie: Hmph. Well, I would give change if you let me have a tip jar. We wolves do take tips for exceptional service.
	4:38pm steve: if i dont hear some Jokerfan i might cry
	4:39pm Peteski: @Caryn it use to play regularly on the TV while I was a kid. I love it. It's burned into my psyche.
	4:39pm Robert: Wolfie, you posting from my acc't again?
	4:42pm Robert: I should explain that Wolfie is a Stuffo-American red wolf who picked me out from Macy's Parkchester toy dept. long ago.
	4:43pm Caryn: Not to get all political, but speaking of statistics, I kinda loved the awfulness of this: consequenceofsound.net...
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gufffaw Caryn! That's bad Ratings...
	4:47pm bloopy: i just watched this crazy guy clip on youtube LOL
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's an Arisit who had some impact ...& this is the biggest Impact that Complainer will likely ever have...
	4:48pm Droll: It was embarrassing enough when this guy accosted me while busking, but now you're airing it!
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a male - ?...
	👻 4:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: That crazy man could benefit from some Obamacare.
	4:51pm Sean D. Daily: So digging the lo-fi guitar (or whatever this is) on "Chill Yourself".
	👻 4:52pm rrg: One of the Codger's old sponsors. I'd like to hear about the Sing-a-tina again.
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not impossible Ken fHP...
	4:52pm Ed the Barber: Remember to vote people (hint hint)
	4:52pm Caryn: I'm shocked that a "beersies!" post didn't pop up on the comments board within 1.5 seconds of the ad starting.
	4:52pm bobdoesthings: Oh god... this kid again..
	4:54pm common: beersies!
	👻 4:54pm rrg: Connie! I love Connie. The Mini-Pops covered this also.
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - she was huge ! Huge Artists now forgotten...
	4:55pm Caryn: Whenever I hear this, I think of a Norwegian comedy special I watched over and over again as a kid. Like "Carnival of Souls" for Peteski, it's burned into my soul.
	4:57pm Sean D. Daily: @Ed the Barber: You mean "remember to vote all the incumbent bums out of office," right?
	4:59pm Droll: I don't think I've ever heard backmasking in jazz before. It works!
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - This 'Carnival of Souls' here ?: www.youtube.com... ...maybe I'll watch it if I ever recover the attention span to watch a whole movie again when there's all these music streams an' everything...it's on a computer screen, after all...
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - this George Russell up top that I missed - presumably the Theorist behind the whole Modal Jazz situation ??...
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I've read about him...
	5:04pm Taylor: The Andre Hodeir cut just now was very Andre Popp-y. Any full-lengths by Hodeir you'd recommend?
	5:04pm Irwin: @RRN63: Russell developed the Lydian Concept of Tonal Organization. Someone explained it to me once. Immediately forgot what it was about.
	5:05pm Sean D. Daily: @Irwin: Silly, it's a concept for organizing tonals. And it's very Lydian.
	5:06pm Droll: I'm sure there were nights when Mr. Morgan was told he'd never amount to anything. Bending notes like that -- SLOPPY!
	5:06pm Listening Out There: The Lydian Concept of Tonal Organization is derived from a pattern of tattoos on a woman named Lydia. Groucho Marx had a song about this...
	5:06pm ChrisB.: Irwin. thanks for turning me on to Lee Morgan. He is tops!
	5:06pm Caryn: @Irwin & Sean: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:07pm Irwin: @Chris: Every Lee Morgan track sounds like a party.
	👻 5:07pm G: It's based on the body art of Lydia the Tattooed Lady
	👻 5:08pm G: even more confusing is the Mixo-lydian.
	5:08pm Mike: Is there a place where can Buy or download the Joe Frank Stuff?
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Caryn - here's George's WigKey : en.wikipedia.org... ...& always up (...or is it 'down' these days) for Marx Bros. references...
	5:09pm Sean D. Daily: @Mike: Try this - www.joefrank.com
	5:10pm glenn: it's a scale mode. in the lydian mode you begin the scale at the 4th whole tone above the root, so in the c major scale you would begin on an f.
	5:10pm Taylor: Mike - you can buy Joe Frank shows one at a time on MP3 or CD from Joe's website. Or if you want to really support an ancient surrealist in his autumn years you can pay him 2K for The Whole Collection Of Every Show.
	5:11pm Irwin: Wow--not a single pledge during the show so far. Zero $ contributed to the station's campaign. Any soft hearts out there?
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...loving Coltrane the most, care about the Modal... - The special Show on LeeMorgan was badass, even tho' Irwin's guest couldn't make it 1st week !...
	5:13pm Sean D. Daily: "Russell focuses on the Lydian mode because it can be built with fifths." Well, I build my Friday night with fifths (and pints and fingers and kegs) and you don't see ME getting a Wikipedia page.
	5:13pm Caryn: They didn't cover the Lydian concept at school, only Schoenberg's twelve-tone serialism.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got the FMU mailer & decided it was very much time to put on my grown-up underpants & move up to the $15/month level for the Best Station on Earth that I utilize constantly - but I forgot to get a Career, unlike most of y'all - so it will have to begin w/ the next payperiod for me - end of story.
	👻 5:14pm G: Remedial (nowadays, the PC terms are developmental or emergent) writers write pretty much like Jokerfan. I speak as someone with experience. :)
	5:16pm Caryn: @Irwin: will have to see if I can afford to pledge, since I'm currently paying off 3 year-long WFMU pledges, and will be out of a job at the end of November with back taxes to pay in December. So we'll see...
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if gutbucket powerhouse Buddy Miles is drumming on this Flag waltz - I cannot help but imagine the smirk on his face...
	5:18pm Caryn: Ah, The Trip. Written by Jack Nicholson, don't ya know.
	5:19pm Irwin: $0.000000000000000. Still. Oh dear.
	5:20pm ChrisB.: @Irwin: WHAT!!! This shall not stand. Excuse me for a moment...
	👻 5:21pm G: But what does the fox on the run say?
	5:23pm Caryn: @G: it says what those Norwegian guys say it says. Man, that was tautological writing...
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I will either not bother @ all to specify a specific Program to Credit my Pledge to (especially if this is @ all challenging to navigate), or I will look to see which among my many faves has the lowest %-age...
	5:24pm slater: gyrate
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or which ones plural...
	5:27pm Parq: That was a really nifty cover of Fox. And Pylon is always welcome.
	5:31pm autumn: play some country music.
	5:33pm autumn: I can't give you money I have no job. and my mom says sorry, she is broke, too.
	5:35pm Deadbeat: Hay. Watch it fella.
	5:36pm Sean D. Daily: Yes. It is time for country music, I think. 'Tis an Irwin tradition.
	5:39pm Irwin: Thank you ChrisB and RRG for pledges. Much appreciated. Our heroes.
	5:39pm Droll: Damn, playing together they sound like Art Tatum.
	👻 5:42pm rrg: Holy cow, you dig up some interesting stuff.
	👻 5:43pm rrg: I would like to hear some Gilbert and Sullivan sometime.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Haha Droll - they'd probably have conceded that...Duke: 'We aspire to be dilettantes' - said in inimitable Duke style...
	👻 5:43pm rrg: And LL and I still want to hear that doggie song.
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - ChrisB & rrg - Thx on behalf us all. For it is.
	5:45pm Roberto: I used to hang out with Howard DaSilva's kids.
	👻 5:46pm rrg: Oh, my.
	5:46pm jan: That Tonk piano piece was incredible. Are there more like that?
	5:47pm Irwin: Jan: A whole album of the two, recorded. 1950.
	5:48pm Ike: "A Little Tin Box" is quite clever. Now for the sake of equality, let's have some catchy songs about Bhopal, and West, TX. I'm sure songs about those are out there somewhere, right? Right?
	5:49pm Marmalade Kitty: nice 60's one note bassd line til the chorus
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...seems all the pianer-players spoke of Art Tatum w/ Deference...
	5:50pm Fredericks: Irwin! Johnny! Thank you!
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but all Jazzers speak of Duke w/ deference...
	5:54pm northguineahills: hELLLLOs...
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...our nice boys the BeachBoys never tripped! ... / those squares the BeachBoys never took acid...
	👻 5:58pm rrg: That's it for me. Three hours is long enough. Thanks, Irwin. See youse all later.
	👻 5:58pm G: Andy loves Van Dyke Parks' work.
	5:58pm northguineahills: Play the Andy Breckman song!
	5:59pm northguineahills: Faved "she's going bald'
	👻 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice outro tonight!
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they were just the Favorite Band of both the Beatles & The Who - that's all... ...yerknow - SydBarrett & SkipSpence are Kewl - but that Smile stuff - no way....wahtever...

	👻 4:05pm G: He's really pulling out all the stops on this one...
	4:06pm Peteski: I see where this is going (everywhere)
	👻 4:06pm G: it's goin' DOWN DOWN DOWN
	4:07pm Droll: It's like a compilation of National Enquirer headlines in narrative form.
	👻 4:08pm G: @droll: bingo. or a condensation of 50 years of tv soap operas :)
	4:08pm steve: you're in a Joe Frank monologue! run!
	👻 4:09pm rrg: It was a little joke, GMMM. ("Extremely little, ensign.")
	👻 4:10pm G: patiently awaiting the next negative peripeteia. can't be more than two minutes :)
	👻 4:11pm AnAnonymousParty: And then the children became teenagers and turned on them like drunk, cornered honey badgers.
	4:12pm Caryn: To be fair, a drunk honey badger might be more mellow, and less likely to go for the testicles. Or maybe not.
	4:13pm Chris from Stroud England: Don't usually catch this show live. Always listen to the pop up next day though. Brilliant and inspiring dude. Joe Frank is a somebody that's for sure. Best from Stroud.
	👻 4:13pm G: the world according to frank: life--what a raw deal...
	👻 4:21pm AnAnonymousParty: I called it.
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey Kids! ...joining in late ...this JoeFrank - too much like real life, man...what kinda writin' is that...
	👻 4:22pm G: Joe Frank: Since 1982, making _As I Lay Dying_ look like a light farce.
	4:22pm Caryn: Cue "And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon..."
	4:22pm Ike: Great, hypnotic backing music. The story isn't one of Joe's better ones, though, IMHO, and I don't think you can make a kid dyslexic that way.
	👻 4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think Joe Frank's moral for this story is "Count your blessings."
	👻 4:24pm G: or: There is No Gravity, The Earth Sucks.
	4:26pm Caryn: @G: I think Joe Frank is fully on board with gravity. After all, it doesn't pull us towards the ground, it actually pushes us down. (Heck, if our internal pressure didn't balance it out, it would squish us.)
	4:26pm Robert: Aw, come on, Joe...at least let someone from the family find a 4 leaf clover, or get an extra candy from a vending machine.
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The house smells like babies.' ...sorta comment I found always endears ya to moms...
	👻 4:27pm G: Nah, someone would kick a machine that didn't give the paid for candy bar and end up a paraplegic when the machine fell on him
	4:27pm steve: im not even paying attention to the story and im depressed
	4:27pm Ike: Ha, Robert! Heh. Mmmm, candy.
	4:28pm Caryn: @RRN63: depends on whether they take that to mean "it has that new baby smell" or "it smells like crap and vomit".
	4:28pm Caryn: @G: that reminds me of the statistic that more people are killed each year by vending machines than are killed by wolves.
	4:30pm Jay/London: hi been here from the start very cool show
	👻 4:30pm G: there are way more vending machines than wolves, where people are...
	4:31pm SheWolf: Just watched Carnival of Souls last night. :D
	4:31pm Caryn: Heh, when this started, I instantly thought I was watching an old B horror film at the drive-in or something...
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ken fHP: Re them tombstone owls: Read a great book called 'The Puritan Way of Death' by David. E. Stannard about the evolving sybolism on tombstones & related social meanings - not a large timesink of a book... : www.amazon.com...
	4:32pm Peteski: Wait, is that the vending machine they're pulling out of the river?
	4:33pm Robert: You know, he would be a meanie by letting one of them find a 4 leaf clover only to go on to say it was attached to an IED left by the terrorists, and now "Stumpy" has only a 1 leaf clover.
	4:34pm Caryn: @Peteski: hah! It's a good movie, though. Very predictable end nowadays, of course, considering the myriad of similar plots done since.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: awlright! Spinach! - that crazy Bosstown sound - sure to be the next big trend after Psychedelic San Francisco...I'm just not used to hearing it in this Fidelity...
	4:36pm Robert: Yeah, Caryn? Well, how many wolves will give change? Answer that, huh? So we'll see who's better.
	👻 4:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Rev. Rabbit!
	4:37pm Caryn: @Robert: and how many wolves steal your money and refuse to give you the candy bar or soda you bought?
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...prob. read about 'Carnival' in 'The Monster Show' - but I ain't seen it & don't remember...everybody talks about it tho' - & sounds like a bitchin' soundtrack...
	👻 4:37pm G: wolves have enough sense to stay away from people, if they have a choice. not a few don't have enough sense to avoid fighting with a vending machine that outweighs them 5 to 1.
	4:38pm Wolfie: Hmph. Well, I would give change if you let me have a tip jar. We wolves do take tips for exceptional service.
	4:38pm steve: if i dont hear some Jokerfan i might cry
	4:39pm Peteski: @Caryn it use to play regularly on the TV while I was a kid. I love it. It's burned into my psyche.
	4:39pm Robert: Wolfie, you posting from my acc't again?
	4:42pm Robert: I should explain that Wolfie is a Stuffo-American red wolf who picked me out from Macy's Parkchester toy dept. long ago.
	4:43pm Caryn: Not to get all political, but speaking of statistics, I kinda loved the awfulness of this: consequenceofsound.net...
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gufffaw Caryn! That's bad Ratings...
	4:47pm bloopy: i just watched this crazy guy clip on youtube LOL
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's an Arisit who had some impact ...& this is the biggest Impact that Complainer will likely ever have...
	4:48pm Droll: It was embarrassing enough when this guy accosted me while busking, but now you're airing it!
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a male - ?...
	👻 4:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: That crazy man could benefit from some Obamacare.
	4:51pm Sean D. Daily: So digging the lo-fi guitar (or whatever this is) on "Chill Yourself".
	👻 4:52pm rrg: One of the Codger's old sponsors. I'd like to hear about the Sing-a-tina again.
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not impossible Ken fHP...
	4:52pm Ed the Barber: Remember to vote people (hint hint)
	4:52pm Caryn: I'm shocked that a "beersies!" post didn't pop up on the comments board within 1.5 seconds of the ad starting.
	4:52pm bobdoesthings: Oh god... this kid again..
	4:54pm common: beersies!
	👻 4:54pm rrg: Connie! I love Connie. The Mini-Pops covered this also.
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - she was huge ! Huge Artists now forgotten...
	4:55pm Caryn: Whenever I hear this, I think of a Norwegian comedy special I watched over and over again as a kid. Like "Carnival of Souls" for Peteski, it's burned into my soul.
	4:57pm Sean D. Daily: @Ed the Barber: You mean "remember to vote all the incumbent bums out of office," right?
	4:59pm Droll: I don't think I've ever heard backmasking in jazz before. It works!
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - This 'Carnival of Souls' here ?: www.youtube.com... ...maybe I'll watch it if I ever recover the attention span to watch a whole movie again when there's all these music streams an' everything...it's on a computer screen, after all...
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - this George Russell up top that I missed - presumably the Theorist behind the whole Modal Jazz situation ??...
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I've read about him...
	5:04pm Taylor: The Andre Hodeir cut just now was very Andre Popp-y. Any full-lengths by Hodeir you'd recommend?
	5:04pm Irwin: @RRN63: Russell developed the Lydian Concept of Tonal Organization. Someone explained it to me once. Immediately forgot what it was about.
	5:05pm Sean D. Daily: @Irwin: Silly, it's a concept for organizing tonals. And it's very Lydian.
	5:06pm Droll: I'm sure there were nights when Mr. Morgan was told he'd never amount to anything. Bending notes like that -- SLOPPY!
	5:06pm Listening Out There: The Lydian Concept of Tonal Organization is derived from a pattern of tattoos on a woman named Lydia. Groucho Marx had a song about this...
	5:06pm ChrisB.: Irwin. thanks for turning me on to Lee Morgan. He is tops!
	5:06pm Caryn: @Irwin & Sean: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:07pm Irwin: @Chris: Every Lee Morgan track sounds like a party.
	👻 5:07pm G: It's based on the body art of Lydia the Tattooed Lady
	👻 5:08pm G: even more confusing is the Mixo-lydian.
	5:08pm Mike: Is there a place where can Buy or download the Joe Frank Stuff?
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Caryn - here's George's WigKey : en.wikipedia.org... ...& always up (...or is it 'down' these days) for Marx Bros. references...
	5:09pm Sean D. Daily: @Mike: Try this - www.joefrank.com
	5:10pm glenn: it's a scale mode. in the lydian mode you begin the scale at the 4th whole tone above the root, so in the c major scale you would begin on an f.
	5:10pm Taylor: Mike - you can buy Joe Frank shows one at a time on MP3 or CD from Joe's website. Or if you want to really support an ancient surrealist in his autumn years you can pay him 2K for The Whole Collection Of Every Show.
	5:11pm Irwin: Wow--not a single pledge during the show so far. Zero $ contributed to the station's campaign. Any soft hearts out there?
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...loving Coltrane the most, care about the Modal... - The special Show on LeeMorgan was badass, even tho' Irwin's guest couldn't make it 1st week !...
	5:13pm Sean D. Daily: "Russell focuses on the Lydian mode because it can be built with fifths." Well, I build my Friday night with fifths (and pints and fingers and kegs) and you don't see ME getting a Wikipedia page.
	5:13pm Caryn: They didn't cover the Lydian concept at school, only Schoenberg's twelve-tone serialism.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got the FMU mailer & decided it was very much time to put on my grown-up underpants & move up to the $15/month level for the Best Station on Earth that I utilize constantly - but I forgot to get a Career, unlike most of y'all - so it will have to begin w/ the next payperiod for me - end of story.
	👻 5:14pm G: Remedial (nowadays, the PC terms are developmental or emergent) writers write pretty much like Jokerfan. I speak as someone with experience. :)
	5:16pm Caryn: @Irwin: will have to see if I can afford to pledge, since I'm currently paying off 3 year-long WFMU pledges, and will be out of a job at the end of November with back taxes to pay in December. So we'll see...
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if gutbucket powerhouse Buddy Miles is drumming on this Flag waltz - I cannot help but imagine the smirk on his face...
	5:18pm Caryn: Ah, The Trip. Written by Jack Nicholson, don't ya know.
	5:19pm Irwin: $0.000000000000000. Still. Oh dear.
	5:20pm ChrisB.: @Irwin: WHAT!!! This shall not stand. Excuse me for a moment...
	👻 5:21pm G: But what does the fox on the run say?
	5:23pm Caryn: @G: it says what those Norwegian guys say it says. Man, that was tautological writing...
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I will either not bother @ all to specify a specific Program to Credit my Pledge to (especially if this is @ all challenging to navigate), or I will look to see which among my many faves has the lowest %-age...
	5:24pm slater: gyrate
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or which ones plural...
	5:27pm Parq: That was a really nifty cover of Fox. And Pylon is always welcome.
	5:31pm autumn: play some country music.
	5:33pm autumn: I can't give you money I have no job. and my mom says sorry, she is broke, too.
	5:35pm Deadbeat: Hay. Watch it fella.
	5:36pm Sean D. Daily: Yes. It is time for country music, I think. 'Tis an Irwin tradition.
	5:39pm Irwin: Thank you ChrisB and RRG for pledges. Much appreciated. Our heroes.
	5:39pm Droll: Damn, playing together they sound like Art Tatum.
	👻 5:42pm rrg: Holy cow, you dig up some interesting stuff.
	👻 5:43pm rrg: I would like to hear some Gilbert and Sullivan sometime.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Haha Droll - they'd probably have conceded that...Duke: 'We aspire to be dilettantes' - said in inimitable Duke style...
	👻 5:43pm rrg: And LL and I still want to hear that doggie song.
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - ChrisB & rrg - Thx on behalf us all. For it is.
	5:45pm Roberto: I used to hang out with Howard DaSilva's kids.
	👻 5:46pm rrg: Oh, my.
	5:46pm jan: That Tonk piano piece was incredible. Are there more like that?
	5:47pm Irwin: Jan: A whole album of the two, recorded. 1950.
	5:48pm Ike: "A Little Tin Box" is quite clever. Now for the sake of equality, let's have some catchy songs about Bhopal, and West, TX. I'm sure songs about those are out there somewhere, right? Right?
	5:49pm Marmalade Kitty: nice 60's one note bassd line til the chorus
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...seems all the pianer-players spoke of Art Tatum w/ Deference...
	5:50pm Fredericks: Irwin! Johnny! Thank you!
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but all Jazzers speak of Duke w/ deference...
	5:54pm northguineahills: hELLLLOs...
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...our nice boys the BeachBoys never tripped! ... / those squares the BeachBoys never took acid...
	👻 5:58pm rrg: That's it for me. Three hours is long enough. Thanks, Irwin. See youse all later.
	👻 5:58pm G: Andy loves Van Dyke Parks' work.
	5:58pm northguineahills: Play the Andy Breckman song!
	5:59pm northguineahills: Faved "she's going bald'
	👻 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice outro tonight!
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they were just the Favorite Band of both the Beatles & The Who - that's all... ...yerknow - SydBarrett & SkipSpence are Kewl - but that Smile stuff - no way....wahtever...
