If you're thinking of requesting the Shattered Glass single I'll tell you right now, the b-side is way better.

Mon. 10/26/09 10:25pm From: john

Awesome haul! I'd be all about Nick Gilder and The Passions. APB for old times sake, too. Haven't heard Cindy Bullens in about 30 years, and which was the one with the White Sox reference?

Mon. 10/26/09 10:26pm From: Joe

Hello people of the future! Here are my requests - FROM THE PAST

APB - because its APB and APB is awesome.

The Jaggerz - The Rapper because it's extremely incongruous

Purple Reign because how can you not play a band named that.

The Friendly Hopefuls - "Punks of 76 medley" because it sounds extremely promising.

"So Right" from "Free The Preacher" because its such a great song. I was gonna see if I could find anything on the album that hasn't already been played but according to the playlist search, it's already been pretty thoroughly worked over.

Oh, and the B side of the Shattered Glass single.

Mon. 10/26/09 10:36pm From: efd

oh yeah, the White Sox song ("White Sox Fan") is the b-side of the Huge Hart single. Although it seems to have little if any baseball content, so I'm not sure what's up there.

Joe, bear in mind that since you haven't heard the A-side of the Shattered Glass single you don't really have know what I'm judging the b-side against.

Tue. 10/27/09 7:03am From: calzone!

EFD.....I wanna hear Racey, cuz I dig the boss sound of a Chinn/Chapman record...plus Julie Jumper, Gilder, Diesel, Spizzoil, and a double shot of Donnie Iris medley; The Rapper>Ah,Leah would be plastic fantastic!

Tue. 10/27/09 4:48pm From: Lex Dexter

I am a 30 year-old, only just now beginning serious power pop studies. It would bolster my morale if you could maybe, possibly play the B side to that Dwight Twilley single, and send it out to Power pop Pop-pop.

Tue. 10/27/09 4:51pm From: Will

I would like to request Kimberley Rew - "Stomping All Over The World". Thanks EFD.

Tue. 10/27/09 4:57pm From: AZ

For wildly different reasons, it would be hard to go wrong with either the Radio Stars ("From A Rabbit" = probably their best song) or Dickie Goodman. And I've never actually heard "Humbug," the B-side of Greg Lake's "...Father Christmas." (Although there's probably a good reason for that.)

Tue. 10/27/09 5:07pm From: efd

AZ, I'm so glad you requested the Dickie Goodman record - pretty sure that will be the show opener. That Greg Lake might be a promo, though, so no b-side.

And Lex Dexter, I'm pretty sure the Twilley is a promo as well so you might just have to suffer through the a-side. :)

Will and Calzone, thanks for your requests!

Tue. 10/27/09 5:16pm From: Amanda

I want to hear something off the Throbbing Lobster comp. It doesn't matter what.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:02pm From: G

You sdound like Tom tonight

Tue. 10/27/09 11:05pm From: Spike in SF

I vote for the Diesel song. I drove by Sausalito on Sunday, and whenever I'm there I think of that song. Haven't heard it in years.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:07pm From: AZ

This States song sounds like Sparks meets the Raspberries. Fab!

Tue. 10/27/09 11:07pm From: dustin

i keep thinking this is Squeeze!! I like

Tue. 10/27/09 11:08pm From: Sir Spence

Woah! I loved that song. I definitely agree on the Sparks comment. I thought it was them at first.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:09pm From: DJ Terre T

Ah Leah by Donnie Iris... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!!!

Tue. 10/27/09 11:10pm From: nec13

Dahnie Iris-The Bob Dylan of Pittsburgh

Tue. 10/27/09 11:10pm From: Spoony

One vote for Suzi Quatro, please.

Sorry I missed you this weekend, Evan. I could only make Sunday for an hour. You can't even make it to the Norton table in that time.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:10pm From: Jim

God bless you for playing Ah! Leah! I was about to buy it off of iTunes this past weekend, but didn't.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:12pm From: Jim

And I was hoping you'd follow it with The Rapper.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:13pm From: rachel jansen

Suzi Quatro and Spizzoil, please!

Tue. 10/27/09 11:17pm From: G

Punks of 76 sounds intriguing. Fear not, we are prepared if serendipity doesn't play out 100%...

Tue. 10/27/09 11:18pm From: nec13

Evan: Is that Nick Gilder song a cover of Them or The Beach Boys? Or is it not a cover at all?

Tue. 10/27/09 11:19pm From: TG

"hot summer night in sausalito" – perfect for a rainy fall NYC evening

Tue. 10/27/09 11:19pm From: G

Tue. 10/27/09 11:21pm From: Amanda

Good job getting the term "InterActiv" trademarked, by the way.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:22pm From: rachel jansen

evan--will you also spin halloween tunes for me??

Tue. 10/27/09 11:22pm From: G

Now Amanda owes him licensing.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:24pm From: Sybil

This song sounds as if I really should remember it.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:24pm From: G

What tells me Hot Soup's lead singer listened to Hendrix records...

Tue. 10/27/09 11:25pm From: efd

nec13- that is a Nicky G original.

No Halloween tunes, Rachel - lots of other shows doing that, though

Tue. 10/27/09 11:26pm From: efd

more requests coming up! don't panic!

Tue. 10/27/09 11:28pm From: Camel

efd i want to hear BLOCKBUSTER by sweet,,i know you won't let me down,,=)

Tue. 10/27/09 11:35pm From: dave

i don't care what track you play off that chiliwack record, but i want proof that chiliwack did anything besides that "gone gone gone" song, 'cause i'm pretty sure chiliwack didn't.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:38pm From: efd

dave, you're in for a pleasant surprise!

AZ, congrats! you're in for a treat.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:41pm From: toni d.

efd,,am i in for a treat also?? i hope =)

Tue. 10/27/09 11:43pm From: Tough Cop

DJ harrassment is illegal in this jurisdiction, bub.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:44pm From: Laurie

I think I need to hear "Skating in the Streets," too. Is it about roller boogie?

Tue. 10/27/09 11:44pm From: dave

oh, and obligatory record fair bragging: brown vinyl 10" version of wreckless eric's first album: ch34p. marbled vinyl stranglers promo ep: ch34per. so THERE.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:45pm From: Amanda

SPIZZ!!!!!

Tue. 10/27/09 11:46pm From: Laurie

Thank you, Mr. DJ!

Tue. 10/27/09 11:47pm From: efd

Spoony, I'm going to renege on Suzi - that's not one of her better works.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:48pm From: chris

I'd like to vote for Top Secret - Let Me Take Your Photograph. Great show so far Evan

Tue. 10/27/09 11:48pm From: Suzi

Tue. 10/27/09 11:49pm From: toni daytona

no sweet tonite??=(

Tue. 10/27/09 11:50pm From: Amanda

This is so fun, seriously. I've loved these past two sets.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:50pm From: john

It could also be the riff from the Sesame Street theme.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:50pm From: Movie Idea

"Clueless in TX"

Tue. 10/27/09 11:50pm From: DJ Terre T

Thx 4 the Kimberley Rew---u can't fail with the Soft Boys/Katrina & the Waves provenance!

Tue. 10/27/09 11:51pm From: G

Great hour...

Tue. 10/27/09 11:53pm From: dave

holy crap.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:54pm From: nec13

Sounds vaguely like Barry Gibb.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:54pm From: dave

yeah, ok, not the song you meant to play, but is this really the same band that did that 'gone gone gone' song?

Tue. 10/27/09 11:54pm From: Pete

EFD

Thanks for the Kimberly Rew song! It came from The Bible Of Bop EP he put out in 81 along with the 7"

Tue. 10/27/09 11:55pm From: efd

yep, same band. i'm going to play the song i meant to play when i do the midnight ticket oasis, since the LP version is 6 minutes long

Tue. 10/27/09 11:55pm From: AZ

Dave, Chilliwack went all the way back to the 60's, when they were known as the Collectors. Most of their (large) discography sounds nothing like the "Gone Gone Gone" song.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:57pm From: dave

serves me right. i thought they were just a bunch of romantics wannabes who had a habit of hanging around manholes.

Tue. 10/27/09 11:57pm From: G

dave -- check ""chilliwack" in wikipedia -- they actually reformed in 2005, fwiw

Tue. 10/27/09 11:57pm From: claude

I'd like to request Mesmoreyes by Drezniak

Tue. 10/27/09 11:58pm From: dave

color me schooled.

Wed. 10/28/09 12:00am From: toni d.

evan--g'nite and have a very happy & safe halloween,,,i gotta skip out now,,see you next week,,,luv ya=)

Wed. 10/28/09 12:09am From: claude

sorry evan, tuned in late and didn't see it.
how about Mickey Jupp - Don't Talk To Me?

Wed. 10/28/09 12:16am From: efd

I'll see if I can get that Mickey Jupp in, a few others asked for that as well.

goodnite Toni, see you next week (or, more likely, in about 20 minutes)

Wed. 10/28/09 12:17am From: ?

Set the egg timer...

Wed. 10/28/09 12:18am From: randy in NC

This Clean seems kinda Neil Young-ish no?

Wed. 10/28/09 12:18am From: Chris

Never listened to your show before but this is great. On call at a hospital in Central MN but now things aren't so bad. Keep it up.

Wed. 10/28/09 12:19am From: efd

hi Chris, and welcome! Hope all stays quiet at the hospital.

Wed. 10/28/09 12:58am From: Hatch

If you want to hear some great soft pop with a hint of banjo, you should definitely play that Alzo single.

Wed. 10/28/09 1:02am From: efd

yeah, i checked that one out at home last night - nice! Thanks for recommending it!

Wed. 10/28/09 1:02am From: efd

btw Hatch (and everyone else), if you didn't hear that States track at the start of the show make sure you check the archive - right up your alley, I think.

Wed. 10/28/09 1:07am From: Danne D

Hi Funk Fans - EFD I wanna request that you keep on doing the EFD thing! That is all.

Wed. 10/28/09 1:07am From: john

Great to hear Cindy Bullens again after, oh, 30 years. Long-since defunct record store here had a big poster for that album up in the stairway you had to climb to get there. They also had one for the Eagles, which may have led to their early demise.

Wed. 10/28/09 1:12am From: Terre T

Thanx! Who's better than u Evan?

Wed. 10/28/09 1:18am From: Danne D

Hiya Terre!

Wed. 10/28/09 1:32am From: Terre T

I guess a close second to my query above would have to be you Danne D!

Wed. 10/28/09 1:43am From: Joe

This is awesome, and furthermore is another proof of my theory that all bands with "Super" in their name are awesome. And my theory that all bands named after astrological formations are awesome.

Wed. 10/28/09 1:45am From: Danne D

aw thx TT :)
Anyhow I'm gonna hit the sack and log off - night all you find funkophiles :) night EFD!

Wed. 10/28/09 1:52am From: efd

thanks as always for checking in, Danne!

Wed. 10/28/09 1:58am From: AZ

Stellar show, Evan! Many epiphanies...

Fri. 10/30/09 1:12am From: CT

Love that Sausalito Summernight.
