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.

I don't know of a song called "we totally suck ass" so you're probably right.

Continuing to play as a studio musician, Crespo has also performed at some of Las Vegas' biggest casinos, whilst also engineering a rock amplifier simulator ("Rock Amp Legends by Jimmy Crespo") for Nomad Factory. Crespo plays with the band Phoenix on the Las Vegas entertainment circuit.

I like that Crespo is described as a stolid capstan. Wonder if he meant to call himself an unemotional revolving cylinder.

I am surprised the wikipedia does not contain any information on his pull-up skills.

This "Robot Kid" song -- do I hear a "Warm Leatherette" sample?

i'm not sure if it's an actual sample, but there's definitely some kind of reference in there.
John, totally agree re "stolid capstan!"

Hi Marcelo, thanks for checking in! Cool to know you're listening in Argentina!
I agree, a Sparks box set is definitely in order. That, and a Tommy Roe box set.

l'hygiene sonore makes a goodish pun in english-- aural hygiene. I went to the dentist today, the music wasn't that good. My cat is sleeping under the covers. I should remember that when I go to bed.

From:

Such a nice cat! The annoyed expression is because you got the litterbox in the photo, I'm sure.
TF are awesome. I am not sure yet what I'm doing Friday, but I might not be able to resist that show.

FYI: A big supercollider was supposed to be built in Waxahachie, Texas but the funding was cut in the early 90s.
Wed. 10/1/08 12:15am
From:
efd
Aha, D, thanks for that info -- that must be the one they're talking about in that song - I know I heard Texas mentioned somewhere in there.
Laurie, the cat is about 8 months old, so not quite full-grown yet.
Amanda, I think the annoyed expression was also because me and one of the workers at the shelter were making him look up while he was trying to eat!

anyone want to make some world series predictions?
Wed. 10/1/08 12:42am
From:
randy in NC
Well the Sox have to get through the Angels. And they haven't done well against them this year. But it seems like they always have to go through them, doesn't it?
Wed. 10/1/08 12:45am
From:
efd
that's true, Randy. And if Beckett's not at full strength then it's going to be even tougher for Boston to win that series.
Wed. 10/1/08 12:45am

Laurie
I thought I heard Roxy's voice! She's such a sweetheart.

I'd really like to see the Dodgers do it. Not because of the Manny thing, but because it would be great to rub Torre into the NY sportswriters faces. They have this attitude that of course a NY team is going to win the World Series (Super Bowl, etc.). And when they don't it's like the world has ended.
Wed. 10/1/08 12:58am
From:
billy
i would LOVE to see Dodgers vs Red Sox......Torre and Manny vs Red Sox?!! Bizarre and great

I can see the dodgers coming out of the National League but I can't choose between Tampa Bay or the Angels.
Wed. 10/1/08 1:08am
From:
efd
if the Red Sox get knocked out I'll be rooting for Tampa Bay... I'd love to see LA in the series as well, but I feel like the Cubs have a pretty good shot at the NL title.
disclaimer: I don't really follow the NL that closely!
Wed. 10/1/08 1:13am
From:
john
Dont' discount the Rays in the first Series; they're deadly at home. I think they take out the White Sox. Phils beat a superior Brew Crew, Cubs over Dodgers despite how much fun it'd be to see Yankee fans watch Joe Torre in the Series....more to follow...
Wed. 10/1/08 1:14am
From:
billy
yeah cubs are the favorite.......but they are cursed
Wed. 10/1/08 1:15am
From:
efd
I don't believe in curses! :)
And yeah, John, my money's on Tampa Bay to beat the ChiSox.
Well, it would be if I were actually placing money somewhere.
Wed. 10/1/08 1:18am
From:
billy
really.....i just hope to see some good, close games....no blowouts and no sweeps!!!
Wed. 10/1/08 1:18am
From:

Yeah, but a Cubs win is kind of a dogs and cats living together scneraio...

it would be somewhat fitting if the Cubs finally make it into the Series and lose to a team that finished in last place last year.
