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.

From:
Sybil
Missed you last week. Although Todd did a great job.
I needed this song!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:11pm
From:
efd
thanks Sybil, thanks Annabelle! I'm glad to be back (and grateful to Todd for the last-minute fill-in last week).
Tue. 12/9/08 11:14pm
From:
annabelle clark
like sybil said you were missed..i guess you didn't feel well last week,,,btw efd what was the worst gift that you ever got,,hmm???
Tue. 12/9/08 11:19pm
From:
annabelle c.
evan have you got any special holiday plans?
Tue. 12/9/08 11:20pm
From:
efd
Annabelle, in the words of Rosanne Rosannadanna: you ask a lot of questions!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:25pm
From:
Sybil
I am in love with tonight's show. That is all.
Tue. 12/9/08 11:25pm
From:
annabelle clark
evan forgive me for being soo nosey,,,i'm sorry efd,, ohhhhhhh yaaaaaahhhhhh tee set
Tue. 12/9/08 11:32pm
From:
Sybil
Bullet wound???
Tue. 12/9/08 11:39pm
From:
efd
You'll have to listen to the very beginning of Todd's fill-in from last week.
p.s. I'm fine.
Tue. 12/9/08 11:41pm
From:
C
he really scared me for a second there. glad all's well!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:44pm

Tue. 12/9/08 11:47pm
From:
efd
thanks Hazeljane, thanks Annabelle.
C, I can see how that would have caused some alarm... especially for people who either aren't in NY or don't follow football (or both)
Tue. 12/9/08 11:50pm
From:
Sybil
The bullet-football connection is known even to this complete football non-follower. (I try very hard not to know anything about football, but it's more difficult than you might think.)
Tue. 12/9/08 11:50pm
From:
C
Haha. No, it was actually the part where he said something like "don't blame Tom for joking about Evan's absence, he didn't know what happened." the guy really sold it.
Tue. 12/9/08 11:52pm
From:
Sybil
OK, now I've got to go listen to it. Well, not *now*, but later.
Will it only make sense if I also listen to the last few minutes of Tom's show? (I must have missed this - dang!)
Tue. 12/9/08 11:57pm
From:
Pete
Even:
Listener Pete here. Hope all is well with you. If possible, requesting that you play the song "Brown Eyes" by Gary Charlson off the Numero Titan records comp.
Thanks!!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:59pm
From:
annabelle/catlin
well evan i'm outa here,,thank you for putting up with me,,,rest easy,,see u next week--g'nite =)=)=) peace & love
Wed. 12/10/08 12:04am
From:
efd
goodnight Annabelle!
Hello Pete! I am going to have to go in to the comments system and correct your misspelling of my name... but I do have that Titan comp here in the studio, so the odds of your request getting played are good. :)
Wed. 12/10/08 12:07am
From:
efd
Sybil, yes, ideally the whole thing works best if you hear the tail end of Tom's show first... C, yes, I see your point - Todd did a good job of sounding pretty grave (for a change!).

wendy
what is the no. again? love the show
Wed. 12/10/08 12:22am
From:

i'm sorry evan,but i was just wonderin would you consider me as one of your fave comenters?? i want to know,,,thank you
Wed. 12/10/08 12:22am
From:
randy in NC
efd, while you're at it with Brown Eyes, could I add Big Brown Eyes to the list? Or Amplifier?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:24am
From:
C
i don't know if this means anything to you, but you're one of my favorite commenters, annabelle.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:27am
From:
efd
and I agree with C.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:30am
From:
Laurie
What did we do wrong? Did we do something to anger you, Evan, and that's why you're playing Ace Frehley?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:30am
From:
Laurie
Was it because that one person spelled your name wrong or something?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:33am
From:
efd
Laurie, if I were mad at you(se), I would have played Peter Criss.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:44am
From:
MARK
Do you like Nitecaps' GO TO THE LINE?
Wounded Bird Records just reissued it. They also did Polyrock and Bonnie Hayes. Bonnie Hayes is cool, too.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:45am
From:
randy in NC
efd, when you get a chance sometime, check out Tramp by the band Royal Purple. Joe B. played it today, man what a thing with a hook.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:48am
From:
efd
Randy, I actually played that a few weeks ago! (Along with the original version by BTO!)
HI MARK! That's cool about the Nitecaps reissue, I'll have to keep an eye out.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:50am
From:
randy in NC
Oh yes I remember that now. It's late...
Wed. 12/10/08 12:51am
From:
efd
no worries, Randy... I don't expect everyone to mentally catalog all my shows. :)
Wed. 12/10/08 12:54am
From:
john
Damn, that Eagles of Death Metal song was good...even if it was a piss-take...I may need to reappraise.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:54am
From:
Sybil
Hearing this makes me feel unreasonably nostalgic.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:56am
From:
C
did they really name this album "theme from growing pains"? is that the most sought after theme that's going to sell the album?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:57am
From:
efd
well it certainly isn't the theme from "My Sister Sam."
although there is something Murphy Brown-related on there, you'd think that would be the hook.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:59am
From:
john
Evan, play some Sexual Objects if WFMU has it...Merrie England is a great single...
Wed. 12/10/08 1:00am
From:
Joe
Hi, Evan, just stopping in because that last track destroyed what's left of my sanity. Greatest American Hero indeed.
Good show, carry on.
Wed. 12/10/08 1:02am
From:
?
awesome
Wed. 12/10/08 1:06am

RIP Wursthaus

that great restaurant is gone, unfortunately
Wed. 12/10/08 1:12am
From:
efd
i figured as much... if Out Of Town news can't make it I don't have much hope for anything else in Harvard Square.
Wed. 12/10/08 1:15am
From:
C
that newstand in the middle of the square? how is that possible?
Wed. 12/10/08 1:16am
From:
john
that's closing...they sold in '94 to Hudson...and now Hudson's leaving...
Wed. 12/10/08 1:18am
From:
efd
John is correct, unfortunately. I think Nini's Corner is still there, at least?
Wed. 12/10/08 1:18am
From:
john
yessir it is
Wed. 12/10/08 1:19am
From:
C
yikes. next you're going to tell me that the weirdos have been moved out of the pit by the t stop
Wed. 12/10/08 1:20am
From:

they will never leave...like cockroaches, they'll be there after the bomb hits
Wed. 12/10/08 1:23am

Oh, this is fantastic. I'm lying in bed in a big rig at a truck stop in Salina, Kansas... and I'm listening to WFMU.

From:
Chris
Thanks for playing Dogmatics - Gimme the Shakes! I love that song. I've always liked the 7" version better than the lp version.
