Record Fair Finds Listening Party, chosen (mostly) by comments from You The Listeners from the list of purchases above.
Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

D is for Dumptruck but Q is for Quatro!!...B is for Fat Boys too.

I'd second Suzie Quatro aaaaaand...Speed-o-Metors.

Something from the Grand Masters of Rap comp please! But only if you can be fairly sure it ain't got no cussing in it, 'cause I wouldn't want to getcha in trouble! Heh.

From:

E.L. - good call on the Speed-o-Metors, that's one that I actually got to listen to last night and it's pretty good.
Tranzmitors, Suzi Quatro, Fat Boys all noted - thanks, keep 'em coming!
Mon. 11/5/07 11:44pm
From:

Ike, good point! I'm not sure if those are clean versions on there!
Mon. 11/5/07 11:59pm
From:
Ike
Yikes Mr. Funk... in that case maybe you should wait until after you've had a chance to screen 'em.
As for "Next Great American Band," the whole show itself might get voted off of Fox -- even with the writers' strike. Fox would get higher ratings with reruns of "Bones" or even "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" or, hell, with a test pattern probably. Too bad... sounds like an OK show.

From the Tranzmitors stack, I'd love to hear anything but Teenage Tragedy (It's the only one of the group I've already heard). I'm all about groups that end in "tors" tonight.

hi evus-
i imagine that "slingbacks" are different than, "the slingbacks" that I have a single of...nonetheless, i am curious and it is in the mighty pile...
if you want to push the buttons and play it!
Tue. 11/6/07 12:23am
From:
E.L.
Oop!
I just looked back on the comments. I wasn't trying to slam Mook's pick, I just missed it. Teenage Tragedy is cool!
Tue. 11/6/07 12:29am
From:
efd
E.L., you're such a troublemaker! I'm going to play "Teenage Tragedy" tonight, and will spin those other Tranzmitors records in the weeks ahead I'm sure.
@deetee - that may indeed be the same Slingbacks, I was typing in a hurry. Both those records are produced by Mitch Easter, if that helps.
Tue. 11/6/07 12:33am
From:
deetee
then, no it is different... but that makes me all the more curious! thanks, evus!

oooooooo, Honey Bane (do you have her "Guilty" 45? still an all time fave), Suzi Quatro, Sylvester, and *even* "BORN TO BE ALIVE"!!!!!!! woo hoo!

From:

Thanks! I feel like I'm at my first Cheap Trick concert.

i'm TOTALLY emailing the speed-o-metors RIGHT NOW to tell them you're mispronouncing their name.
i expect you'll be hearing from their attorneys shortly.

@slugluv - as much as I love "Born To Be Alive" I'm a little afraid of that 12" since it boldly states "20 Minute Mix" on it!
Tue. 11/6/07 1:04am
From:
efd
good grief, the Speedometors actually have a myspace page!

sadly, the sound samples do not include a brief tutorial on the proper pronunciation of the band name.
Tue. 11/6/07 1:23am
From:
slugluv1313
ooooooooooooo TWENTY MINUTES of "Born to be Alive"!!!!!!!!!
scary AND fun all at the same time!
is there a corresponding YouTube video which i can send to unsuspecting pals???
which leads me to wonder -- can a twenty minute video/re-mix of "Born to be Alive" be any scarier than Liza Minnelli's "Don't Drop Bombs" video???

all kidding aside, very cool stuff . . . WATCH THE CLOSING DOORS!
