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.

Yay! You're getting me all in the mood for the Individuals.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:11pm
From:
ted
i used to think you only played funk music
Tue. 8/12/08 11:11pm
From:
E.L.
There's only one thing I want to say to you:
Who stole my The Bongos 7"
Tue. 8/12/08 11:12pm
From:
Sybil
Good evening!
Red Sox just won the most nerve racking 4+ hour game I have ever fought off an ulcer during, 19-16.
And you have no freaking idea how appropriate that first song was, efd. I'm going to throw cold water on my head now.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:12pm
From:
Sybil
Oops, no, Manny's at bat!

Games with football scores always cause uneasiness.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:14pm
From:
Sybil
Football games always cause me uneasiness. Futbol, though...
Tue. 8/12/08 11:15pm
From:
john
no arguments from me this time!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:16pm
From:
efd
hi everyone!
Tamar, glad this set is having the desired effect! Sybil, thanks for the score update - that game sounds like it was insane.
Welcome back E.L., hi john, and Ted - you can't judge a book by its cover, or a DJ by his/her nickname!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:20pm
From:
~L
Nice to hear vintage yo la tengo!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:30pm
From:
Matt
That opening set was terrific.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:33pm
From:
Sybil
Braves postponed their game (till tomorrow) due to rain. Dang. After last week, I would have said that was impossible. Couldn't they find their water wings?
Tue. 8/12/08 11:35pm
From:
Sybil
Yes, that was some opening set. The bangs just keep getting bigger.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:35pm
From:
Emily
Welcome back!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:35pm
From:

thanks, Matt Sybil and ~L!

Individuals YEAHHHHHHHHH!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:41pm
From:
Joe
Wondeful things like this make me fervently wish that I had lived through the 80's, rather than been born in the goddamned middle.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:42pm
From:
Sybil
Joe, thanks for making me feel OLD. :)
Tue. 8/12/08 11:45pm
From:
efd
Joe, that is just part of the community service that WFMU provides!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:46pm
From:
E.L.
Sybil, I'm reminded of this everyday. I work in a wine shop and I'm carding people who were born in 1987 who can legally drink. It's messed up.
This set sounds great!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:47pm
From:
Sybil
Listening to a love Individuals set and watching Manny at bat... what could be finer?
Tue. 8/12/08 11:48pm
From:
efd
E.L., I agree! All I did was stand there... all props go to Gil Shuster for working his audio magic, and to the band of course for their magical playing.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:48pm
From:
Sybil
People who were born in 1987 can legally drink? No. You're making that up!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:50pm
From:
Joe
Oh, can we drink.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:50pm
From:
Sybil
Manny base hit! Ha! Don't throw at the helmet, NL pitchers!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:50pm
From:
E.L.
Well, I serve them, but I still don't believe it's legal.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:51pm
From:
Sybil
Joe, but legally?
Oh, who am I to talk. I remember when the drinking age was 18 most places.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:52pm
From:
efd
Manny is loving the NL! They're playing Philly again, right?
Tue. 8/12/08 11:53pm
From:
Sybil
Philly, yeppers.
And LA loves Manny. Wow.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:54pm
From:
Joe
My uncle was of the certain age in NY, where, just shy of his 18th birthday, he was forced to wait 3 more years to drink. But only in the city. Long Island bars mostly follow the "you must be this tall" policy. At least, on the North Shore.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:54pm
From:
E.L.
I think they should flip it so that you can drink at 16 and drive at 21. It would take the mystique out of it.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:54pm
From:
efd
as well they should!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:55pm
From:
Sybil
NOMAH!!!!
If only it were yesterday, when Derek Lowe was pitching. I'd be in cognitive dissonance.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:55pm
From:
john
Will provide an in-person report as to how much LA loves Manny in a couple weeks. Stay tuned!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:56pm
From:
Sybil
John, I am consumed with jealousy. Eagerly awaiting your report!
Tue. 8/12/08 11:57pm
From:
efd
Awesome John, you're going to a game out there?
If I weren't going to be out of town the weekend of the 23rd/24th i would be planning a Philly road trip to see the Dodgers.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:57pm
From:
john
I'll let you know if there are extra tickets! I'm looking forward to my annual jaunt to Dodger Stadium. Hope to catch a couple games at least.
Tue. 8/12/08 11:59pm
From:
Sybil
Hmm. What am I doing the 24th?
Tue. 8/12/08 11:59pm
From:
Joe
So... how 'bout that Pudge... yep... pretty psyched about that...
*crickets*
Wed. 8/13/08 12:01am
From:
john
Don't know when the tix are for, but I'll probably be there most of September. Or until I get bored and want to go home.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:02am
From:
Sybil
BTW (and it's SO hard following a relief pitcher, but Mosaic helps!) There is some evidence I was right about Yoyo only needing to pitch more regularly. In his last ten games he's got an ERA of 1.86, and he's been pitching on average every other day or so for the Braves.
Small samples and all, but I feel vindicated.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:03am
From:
efd
Joe, the Yankees won tonight right? I know they were ahead just before 11.
Nady's working out OK for them, at least....
Wed. 8/13/08 12:04am
From:
john
Yanks-Twinks 6-6 in the 11th. Damon on 2nd with 2 out.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:04am
From:
Sybil
NYY-Twins still tied 6-6 in the 11th, I believe.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:04am
From:
efd
wow, no shit!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:05am
From:
efd
Sybil, good to hear that update on Yo-Yo.
When is Byrd's first start for Boston? Friday?
Wed. 8/13/08 12:06am
From:
Joe
Oh yeah. I'm waiting for the choke.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:06am
From:
john
Sexson grounds out and we go to the bottom of the 11th
Wed. 8/13/08 12:06am
From:
Sybil
Freaky simultaneity strikes again!
Which reminds me.... efd, I had some brainstorms about baseball-realted songs. I'll email you, if I remember.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:07am
From:
Sybil
Uh, that would be "baseball-related".
Wed. 8/13/08 12:08am
From:
Sybil
I love the guitar in this one.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:09am
From:
Joe
This band is so good I feel like they're fixing all my problems.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:10am
From:
E.L.
I love that high hat action.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:12am
From:
efd
it's too bad one of them lives in LA, that kind of puts a damper on future reunion shows locally. But yeah, i have to agree, this set is amazing.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:13am
From:
efd
oh, and Sybil, yes, brainstorm away!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:15am
From:
john
And we go to the 12th. And yeah, the set is super cool!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:17am
From:
Sybil
WTF long, torturous games today? and Braves rainout? Is the sky falling? Is it because of the Perseids?
Wed. 8/13/08 12:19am
From:
Joe
I blame all my teams' misfortune on astrological events.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:21am
From:
john
Well, Yanks are rallying in the 12th, so the stars may have re-aligned for you
Wed. 8/13/08 12:21am
From:
Joe
Wooo! Dover! Morris County, represent!
Was probably the Baker Theater!
Between that and my town on a tattoo on the front page of the Star Ledger, I'm having a big day.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:27am
From:
Sybil
Manny encore une fois.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:28am
From:
Mr. Wut
Whuuuuuut!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:29am
From:
Sybil
Wah!!! Don't hit the Manny!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:31am
From:
Sybil
Checking the Star-Ledger website now...
Manny amazingly sanguine for someone who has a target painted on him, or so it seems...
Wed. 8/13/08 12:33am
From:

Joe, I saw that photo! Rockaway Twp, right?
(yes, I am a Star-Ledger home delivery subscriber)
Wed. 8/13/08 12:37am
From:

FIELDS is one of my all-time top ten favorites!!! All hail THE INDIVIDUALS! Will they ever play out again> I wonder...
p.s. World Championships:YANKS 26 Boston 6
(just to put things back into the BIG picture)
Wed. 8/13/08 12:38am
From:
Sybil
It's going to be interesting if the NL pitchers decide that pitching AT Manny is a good strategy. I'm not all that committed to nonviolence, is what I'm saying.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:39am
From:
Joe
Yup. Giancarlo Brazzeze, was in my middle school homeroom. Decent kid, big italian bully type, never bothered me though. Smoked pot with him once in high school, I knew he enlisted straight after graduation but I guess he's reserve now, since that was what the article was about. I've always thought those Jersey tats were kinda stupid, but with the little hometown star, his kinda plucked at my heartstrings. I wish him luck in Anbar, hope he comes back okay. We've already had two guys from my high school get maimed over there. General Odiernio is from Rockaway too.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:39am
From:
Sybil
Oh, Joe. You'll get used to the Yankees being just another team. It only hurts at first.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:41am
From:
Joe
the Yankee's being just another team = one aspect of 80'sness that I'm glad I missed out on.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:42am
From:
Sybil
Can I just say? This is my favorite baseball thread. I live all week for this. Because it has music too!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:44am
From:
Joe
I'm waiting for Evan to cave and just do a baseball call-in night. Maybe during playoffs.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:44am
From:
Sybil
Ah, Joe, yeah, forgot that historical aspect.
Right now I'll mention that I've always liked Joe Torre. Take that as you will.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:50am
From:
Sybil
We'll get an all-baseball show, during the postseason, and YoYo will grant an interview (the Braves, sadly, having failed to make the playoffs) and his BFF Manny Ramirez will call in and...
Be still my heart!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:53am
From:
Sybil
No no no you didn't play moscosos pateticos!
Too much.
Wed. 8/13/08 12:55am
From:
efd
ok, this song was kind of a mistake
Wed. 8/13/08 12:57am
From:
Sybil
But not this one!
Wed. 8/13/08 12:58am
From:
efd
Larry, let's make a bet on what will happen first: another Individuals show, or another Yankee world championship. :)
Yeah, I def want to do a baseball call-in show one of these days... I think I'd need to enlist some of WFMU's other baseball fans to help out, though.
Wed. 8/13/08 1:03am
From:
Sybil
Seriously, the J-guys (Joe and John) are among the best anywhere in terms of baseball fans! And me. of course. No one exceeds my fandom or statistical prowess. (Yeah, right.)
But... did folks catch Todd-O-Phonic Todd's trade talk? Spectactular.
Wed. 8/13/08 1:09am
From:
Joe
I am but a step above the casual fan. I only have one sabermetrics book, and I don't even understand it.
Wow, Ev, that sounded odd coming out of your mouth. Not to assault your metal cred.

I. um,
Motorhead?

Are there going to be images to go w/the Individuals set?
Wed. 8/13/08 1:15am
From:

Wow, that SoB was almost too much fun.
Wed. 8/13/08 1:16am
From:
efd
no images, unfortunately. Glenn brought one of those little quasi-disposable video cameras (FLip? Flex? It's his kid's), but the battery was dead.
Sybil, when was Todd's trade talk? I missed it!

QuickChek, my friend.
Also, this might be the first record I've heard you play that I actually own. Came in a crate of free vinyl I got off craigslist. Gotta start somewhere.
Wed. 8/13/08 1:41am

dude, I stop at QuikCheck every week on my way here. Seriously.
There's no Wawas in my part of Jerz anyway.

edit: QuickChek
Wed. 8/13/08 1:54am
From:
Joe
My own proper spelling was a shot in the dark. Quickchek vs. Wawa is most definitely the true demarcation of North vs. South Jersey.
It boggles my mind that I share geographic space with a large population of Eagles, Flyers, and worst of all, Phillies fans.
