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.

Jeez, I'd completely forgotten that Teacup tune since it was on top 40 AM radio originally... I'd moved to England in Dec 1971 and must have heard it there...

Spain? What's this?
I've had a schedule which required me to get up at 5 AM this past semester... so I've been mostly half-asleep during the show. But I remember reading something about Spain in comments last time. Details?

Hmm, now to figure out when Joe's birthday is...

Hi everyone, glad you're enjoying the Ramones! DD, that's why I never listen to your show - so I can't be accused of stealing from it! ;)

When a band that has a better sound than The Ramones comes along, WFMU will surely be there to play them. Happy birthday, Joey, wherever you are!

Yo La Tengo!
It's the break from "Saturday Night Live" by The Lordz of Brooklyn. Which, in turn, is a sample from the opening guitar line from The Guess Who's "American Woman"
I'm just gonna copy that somewhere and hang onto it.

Huh whuh? Someone mention the Demands in here? I was working the door for that show, mostly bored that no one I knew deigned to show up. But it was a lot of fun. Wore on super late. Lot of sick girls there who'd caught strep throat off Joe.
Wed. 5/20/09 12:31am
From:
Joe
You know, the internet is a funny thing, because now that I'm finally coherent again, I keep talking to people who are like, "Oh yeah, I heard you're sick." And I'm momentarily baffled. How could they know? I haven't spoken to another human in days! Then I remember - I'm a compulsive Facebook user.
But I finally kicked it today, thanks for asking! Just in time!

Joe, i guess your eyes have not recovered to the point where they can shift their gaze slightly to the left? or is it a scrolling problem?

From:
E.L.
Joe, in all seriousness, get better.
There's a fancy and pompous restaurant in Providence that doesn't put salt and pepper on the table because the food is "perfectly seasoned." A friend of mine once snuck salt and pepper shakers into the restaurant and when his entree arrived, he stood up, removed the salt and pepper from his coat pocket and shook it all over his meal.
The waitress actually screamed.
So to answer your question: yes, Providence is a ridiculous place.
Wed. 5/20/09 12:50am
From:
Sybil
coalhard, I can hardly wait!
Wed. 5/20/09 12:51am
From:
Amanda
Wow, E.L., I have been to that pompous restaurant! So *that's* why I couldn't wear my Tabasco T-shirt there.
Wed. 5/20/09 12:52am
From:
Joe
That's the greatest story ever.
Wed. 5/20/09 12:53am
From:

I agree with E.L. And not just on the point about Providence being ridiculous.
Wed. 5/20/09 12:55am
From:

My recollection is that Newport is even worse.
Wed. 5/20/09 12:56am
From:

Yes, Joe, I join in the wish that you recover speedily and completely.
Wed. 5/20/09 12:56am
From:
Peter Griffin
Quahog's not so bad, though. Try the Drunken Clam.
Wed. 5/20/09 1:01am
From:
E.L.
Oh if you guys like that story you should come visit. That's nothing. Our politicians and townies are even more preposterous. There are a few good bars though.
Yes, Newport is like Providence if it won the Power Ball and blew all it's money on fifty yachts.

yeah :) it's been a fun season so far. Though I still can't figure out how when I think my team's had a lousy night I move up and when I think they've had a good night they move down. I see you've begun your march up the standings btw.
