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.

Tue. 7/8/08 11:32pm
From:
HotRod
I second the Gold Dust Woman request!
Tue. 7/8/08 11:34pm
From:
Laurie
It's pronounced Yeah-elle. Sort of. More like Yehl, I think. It's an acronym, not a "real" French name.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:35pm
From:
Droll
GD Woman for TD Woman! (Besides, Lindsey Buckingham rules and I want to set a precedent for B-day requests!)
Tue. 7/8/08 11:35pm
From:
Sybil
Acronym for what, Laurie?
Tue. 7/8/08 11:35pm
From:
HotRod
It's pronounced "yell". All she did was combine the words "yeah" and "elle".
Tue. 7/8/08 11:38pm
From:
Laurie
It's actually an acronym for "You Enjoy Life."
Tue. 7/8/08 11:40pm
From:
Sybil
Wooden shjips?! Give unto me a break! (> 1/4 Skansk, so I'm entitled to complain.)
Laurie, I like that explanation so much I don't care if it's right.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:41pm
From:
efd
jeez, talk about a pregnant pause!
Toni, will this do as a birthday request? I don't think gold dust woman will fly. (sorry, HotRod!)
Tue. 7/8/08 11:42pm
From:
john
why is it i've always really liked those guys but they weird me out at the same time? Is it the silent j?
Tue. 7/8/08 11:42pm
From:
Sybil
NO YOU DI'NT!!!!
BBBBBBut you did!
actually, this confirms my opinion that this show RULZ!
Tue. 7/8/08 11:42pm
From:
HotRod
That is correct, Laurie...according to wiki.
I should've written that it's a "portmanteau" of "yeah" and "elle".
Ah, oui oui. C'est bon!
Tue. 7/8/08 11:43pm
From:
Joe
I've always thought Wooden Shjips should have a song called "Crosby, Stills, and Njash"
Tue. 7/8/08 11:43pm
From:
efd
the silent j is annoyjing, i agree.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:43pm

I heard it was "Kiss My F--king Di-ck, Man"
No, wait, that's someone else.

I heard this a few weeks back on Joe McGasko's show and I wrote to him saying it always reminds me of the movie Detroit Rock City and the amazing performance by "Dickie" the bartender. It still does!

Oh man! EFD's not a fan of Gold Dust Woman? I think I'm offended. Let me check....ummm...yes, I am very offended.

From:

Happy birthday. You missed a great chance this morning with Hatch. He was asking for birthday requests.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:47pm
From:
Amanda
HotRod, did he make you cry? Make you break down? Shatter your illusions of love?
I'm with you on that, by the way!
Tue. 7/8/08 11:48pm
From:
efd
it's Stevie Nicks that's the problem, frankly. I do like some non-SN Fleetwood Mac songs, for whatever that's worth.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:48pm
From:
HotRod
How young are you today, Toni D?
Tue. 7/8/08 11:49pm

Aw, c'mon. Sure, it's a school night, but just this once an exception could be made for bday Gold Dust Woman. ?!?!?!?
Laurie: we can has lioncubs update?
Tue. 7/8/08 11:49pm
From:
HotRod
If Stevie's the problem, then how about Hole's cover version on The Crow: City of Angels soundtrack?
Tue. 7/8/08 11:49pm
From:
efd
(first time an FMU DJ has had to defend his *dislike* of Fleetwood Mac??)
Tue. 7/8/08 11:50pm
From:
Sybil
I often wonder if the people who are listening, but not privvy to the comments, have any idea what's going on.
OMFG Hatch. I was the one who made EFD's class creds. Evan, the film was a-frickin-mazing. This is not the place (or time) for a review, but can we work something out?
Tue. 7/8/08 11:50pm
From:

It's all going to hell.

Fleetwood Mac the British blues band is excellent. Fleetwood Mac the California Pop band, not so much.

Are you going to also tell us that you hate puppies, cotton candy and rainbows too??? For the love of Stevie!
Tue. 7/8/08 11:53pm
From:

Now, for me, it's California pop, si! British blues, no!
One man's opinion.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:53pm
From:
Jessica
Sybil: seriously. I expected to hear half the country chortling at John's comment [Tusk!], but the streets, they are quiet.
efd: I share your antipathy. I go so far as to shout at the screen whenever a "scarf over the lampshade" prop appears. Which happens in Buffy vs. Dracula, thus ruining the otherwise totally effing stellar episode.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:55pm
From:
efd
if there was a Trailmix version of Gold Dust Woman, a la You Make Lovin' Fun, I'd be all over it.
Tue. 7/8/08 11:57pm

Wed. 7/9/08 12:00am
From:
Sybil
efd;
Stevie Nicks wrote one single song that made me rethink my hatred of her: that would be "Landslide".
I think Dixie Chicks did a much better version.
And I'm too tired to argue this further. Every 1's a winner baby.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:02am
From:
over by here
where's the swag already? i didn't give dough to get swag, but i have a few choice items coming (i won the "Sound Art" book/cd) and i'd sure like 'em woooo!
Wed. 7/9/08 12:03am
From:
Joe
I move the discussion is over because it is literally impossible to argue with anyone whilst listening to Steinski
Wed. 7/9/08 12:04am

Wed. 7/9/08 12:05am
From:
Amanda
Yes! It's me! I'm glad I got to hang out tonight, I'm going out of town next week for two weeks.
Sybil -- It was the somg "Storms" that made me totally rethink my position on Stevie Nicks, and I did a total 180. Weird.
Agreed about Steinski, for sure. Let's hug it out.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:08am
From:
Sybil
Joe, darn his Yankees-loving heart. had made me rethink everything.
More later.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:09am

Haha, I meant pick up, NOT break up.
Amanda, will you be hanging in the Heights on 7/23?
Wed. 7/9/08 12:11am
From:
Joe
Sybil, I have to ask... Are you down with Black Man's Burdon?
Wed. 7/9/08 12:12am
From:
HotRod
Oh wait, will you be back by 7/30? 8/6?
Wed. 7/9/08 12:12am

I brake for Steinski.
And I loved Storms too.

Well yeah, ... and OPP. ;-)
Wed. 7/9/08 12:13am
From:

Will be there tomorrow, but then won't be back in NY until the 27th. If you're there you can pour one out on the patio for me.
7/30 and 8/6 are go!
Wed. 7/9/08 12:13am

Yeah, I know you.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:13am

Wed. 7/9/08 12:15am

I'll probably see you on 8/6 then, since Matt won't be there on 7/30.
Have fun getting away!
Wed. 7/9/08 12:15am
From:
seriously
what's up with the swag?
Wed. 7/9/08 12:16am
From:

Forgive my pedantry, but I'm unaccountably bothered by a band that has half its name in Greek and half in Latin.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:18am
From:
Joe
I believe in the left handed?
Wed. 7/9/08 12:18am
From:
HotRod
I heard that more swag has been going out recently. There were some hard-working volunteers at the station yesterday...maybe today as well.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:20am
From:
Amanda
Yay! I'll see you/Matt in August!
I have it from a good source that a bunch of swag shipped this week, but I don't want to specify in case that's wrong or partially right. I'm just psyched to wear my hoodie on my vacation down South.
Yay also for Spiritualized. A belated yay.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:21am

Left-handed glory, perhaps. Could refer to David Ortiz.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:25am
From:
Droll
Last year I didn't get my 7sec Delay swag until December, just in time for tax purposes. Well worth the wait, though. It was a murder mystery TV spoof w/lots of FMU "Air Personalities". Recognizably FMU, even though TV instead of FM.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:28am
From:
Joe
Speaking of 7sd, have you checked your voicemail recently, Evan?
Wed. 7/9/08 12:29am

omg i forgot all about that!! thanks for the reminder, Joe!
Wed. 7/9/08 12:30am

For the record, I knew that Fake Evan was fake within like... 20 seconds.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:31am

oh, i didn't even hear the actual show! I just got that message.... clearly i need to check out the archive.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:34am
From:
HotRod
This Frustration track is great!
Wed. 7/9/08 12:34am
From:

Yes, apparently there's an Evan "Impostor" Davies running around, somewhere. You should probably let your significant other know.

A friend of mine turned a bunch of hilarious voicemails into mp3... he's a crazy audio guy though, not sure what program he used.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:43am
From:

I guess you could use speakerphone, but it would sound terrible... I'm very intrigued by this whole 7SD conspiracy about which I know nothing. Guess I should head to the archives myself.

evan i sent you mail,,oxox
Wed. 7/9/08 12:46am
From:
Joe
Okay, here's the scoop
"The easiest way to do this is get a cable that is male stereo jack on both ends, Plug one into your phone (it should have a headphone jack) and the other into your PC. Then use a program such as audacity to record it"
Wed. 7/9/08 12:50am
From:
efd
thanks, Joe. I am hoping that since I am at an actual radio station I can take advantage of the technology at hand to play it over the air. We'll see.

Hey! The Bears' singer sounds like he's E "Impostering" Davies.
Wed. 7/9/08 12:53am

The Bears is The Psychodots with Adrian Belew -- who are these Bears?
Wed. 7/9/08 12:53am

The EFD Show: Starting with a 7SD phone message, then the 70's, every week from now on.
I swear I wasn't listening.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:22am
From:
Amanda
You mean that wasn't a remix?
Wed. 7/9/08 1:22am
From:
Joe
Aahahaha.... classic.
FYI: the point of the show was Andy trying to call DJs who had, in his estimation, bad timeslots, so they could complain about them to Ken, on-air.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:24am
From:
Joe
Of course, we all know that this is the best timeslot ever.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:26am
From:
efd
this song has another 5 minutes to go. All in favor of cutting it short, say "aye"
Wed. 7/9/08 1:28am
From:
Droll
Joe, am I to assume he and Ken get the "Best" time slot? (I wonder how that happened) We know this is not "The Best Show" on FMU, so Andy may have some point.
[GONG] I think I get the gist of The Fall already.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:29am
From:
Jessica
And yet here no one was, needing that there contextual hint. Oh, the jocularity!
I actually did listen pretty regularly to the 7SD, until I called in with a streetfight story one day, having just read about my streetfight story in someone else's not-actually-fiction short story collection, but which story's delivery was judged "too polished" so probably made up.
I guess I'm still scarred.
[aye]
Wed. 7/9/08 1:29am
From:
Joe
Aye, aye.
I don't think it's the "best" time slot... I think Andy is just a jerk. Bob Brainien was the only DJ who picked up, and he actually hung up, midsentence. It's funny if you like "cringe" radio.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:30am
From:
efd
well now it's kind of getting interesting again...
Wed. 7/9/08 1:30am

great song, great title, great band name

I was just gonna say... The Red Rocker, himself.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:50am
From:

Oh crap -- I thought you were about to play Motley Crue, not Montrose. I think my heart stopped for 4 measures until the band came in.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:50am
From:

he can't drive 55 on a motorcycle either, apparently.
Wed. 7/9/08 1:51am
