efd's avatar View efd's profile Options

Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s: Rediscovering the forgotten rockers, revisiting the once-hated disco beats, replaying the power-pop favorites. Next: copious amounts of new releases and occasional live bands. Also: I’m the biggest Nick Gilder fan on WFMU.

Options November 7, 2012: Singles Going Seventies!

Listen to this show: | Add or read comments

This special show was originally going to be part of WFMU's 31 Days Of October silent fundraiser, and then Hurricane Sandy and its post-tropical friends hit Jersey City and much of the surrounding area, knocking us off the air and making it impossible to broadcast from our studios. After picking up the pieces we found ourselves in a $250k financial hole due to costs and lost revenue from the cancellation of our record fair, equipment damage, and the fact that the storm hit during the last week of that silent fundraiser.
So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Hell And High Water emergency fundraiser! We're breaking our silence and asking on the air (in addition to online) for your help as we try to recover from the storm.

Shit, if Rupture is saying EFD's name right, you know that WFMU must be in a crisis :)

Hi Amanda :)

Btw, interesting that NJ brought back gas rationing to really give EFD's show that 70s feel
  Wed. 11/7/12 9:41pm cubicle carl:

The Ohio Players shared the bill with the Ramones on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert when originally broadcast, if memory serves me correctly.

So I've been caring for 97 yo on fixed income can't pay me, why I've not upped pledge - anyway tonight sitting for surgeon, in bed so tall there's stairs to get in, sheet thread count gazillion, just climbed in, oh yeah - and a friggin' wolf spider just leaped out of the baseboard. This house is the cleanest house in the universe. I am, simply, cursed.
  Wed. 11/7/12 9:53pm Danne D:

I think Wham Bam was more clever ;)

Could it at least be a Howlin' Wolf Spider?

  Wed. 11/7/12 10:04pm Holly in NC:

Honkin, you are actually preferable to Wolfie, sigh. Absence & familiarity a potent combination. Plus - you're not spider. Jumping spider. Dark furry jumping spider omg.

I didn't ask about your will, but your experience, my son! I saw them inadvertently, must have been opening for some other act, or Toys for Tots or the like.

  Wed. 11/7/12 10:59pm john:

Serious Peter Criss ride cymbal action comin' up.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:00pm Skirkie:

Quick, someone ask a question that only the REAL john would know.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:00pm SteveL:

Heckuva night to work till eleven. I know what I'll be listening to tomorrow.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:00pm Tom - K'way Bklyn:

@john: What's Yoko's favorite after-dinner high-proof grain alcohol?
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:03pm Thierry:

Doobies make me think there was a famed 'No Nukes' concert during that era.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:03pm Holly in NC:

Now I feel I can request Chris Cross
Avatar ♥   Wed. 11/7/12 11:05pm efd:

Don't have any!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:05pm john:

Yeah, I'm feeling a little overloaded here! However, the obligatory Henry Gross comment will be the equivalent of a digital fingerprint!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:06pm G:

Whew! :-)
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:06pm steve:

so very 70s
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:06pm Danne D:

But still no Kris Kross on EFD's Show :(
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:07pm Weems:

Wow! Who knew Henry Gross made amends for Shannon! Nice!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:08pm G:

Haven't heard this Chicory since it was on the darn charts.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:09pm Rickwaukee:

OK - haven't heard Son of My Father in 35+ years - but member it
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:09pm john:

Weems, if you're now visited in the night by the ghost of Carl Wilson's dog, you brought it upon yourself.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:09pm G:

Is someone taking depositions on the board? If so, make sure to swear people in before cross-examining them :-)
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:10pm Holly in NC:

Stones Emotional Rescue? And hey is anyone else hearing rip/homage to Doobies' Black Water in last song before efd's mike break?
Avatar ♥   Wed. 11/7/12 11:10pm efd:

@rickwaukee, maybe I should call this show "'members only."
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:10pm steve:

cool synth solo!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:11pm G:

The Chicory tune was the first UK chart no. one song to use a synthesizer prominently, so quoth wiki.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:11pm Danne D:

Love this song from one of your premium CDs Evan :)

Of course those new around here should know that one can obtain EFD premium CDs by pledging to WFMU - now more than ever the station needs your help. It's easy and it keeps great music coming your way :)
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:11pm Rickwaukee:

Got? - Family of Man - 3 Dog Night
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:12pm Danne D:

not much up these days cheri, just the usual
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:14pm flashback:

all right, fess up.who`s dancin` now?
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:15pm G:

wiki: "Chicory Tip only released a few records in the US, and their name was shortened to just Chicory for the US market."
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:15pm Tom - K'way Bklyn:

break time yes
<<< not doing the Snoopy Dance to the Coffee Pot .. wee..
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:16pm Weems:

@john: Conjures the notion. What is the worst hot song of the 70's?
Gotta Go with Seasons in the Sun by a nose over Angie by the Stones.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:17pm Weems:

Hit song that is
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:19pm john:

@Weems, that would have to be the worst song of all time, "Lights" by (pardon my French) Journey.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:20pm Holly in NC:

Built this City by a mile ...
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:21pm Glenn L:

5705! Was hoping you'd play this one!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:24pm flashback:

so many songs i haven`t heard or can`t remember.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:25pm Julie:

Holly I agree, and yet I know people who LOVE that song
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:29pm Weems:

We Built This City is. 80s. What is worst of the 70's. funk?
Avatar ♥   Wed. 11/7/12 11:30pm efd:

Weems, I'd have to put "Blind Man In The Bleachers" way up there.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:31pm john:

I'm sticking with Lights, but that's tough competition!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:35pm Barkevious Munchie:

Stillwater. Sweet christ.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:35pm Rickwaukee:

Weems don't like Stones' Angie - would you prefer Helen Reddy's Angie Baby????
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:36pm Holly in NC:

Any number of Billy Joel options...
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:36pm mb:

hm, never realized it before, but I wonder if Zappa was ripping on Mink with Jones Crusher, the similarity could be coincidental or parodiotic
Avatar ♥   Wed. 11/7/12 11:37pm efd:

Just the reaction I was looking for, Barkevious.
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:43pm Weems:

Def prefer Angie Baby over Stones Angie. Helen Reddy was hot! I Am Woman is a kick ass song. No joke! Love it!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:43pm G:

B side of Wings ""Mull of Kintyre", which is really well known in UK, not so well known here
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:45pm Barkevious Munchie:

Can Anti Pasti's No Government be far behind?
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:46pm Rickwaukee:

Haven't heard Mull O'K in quite awhile - gonna hafto Tube it
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:48pm Julie:

isn't this with Elton?
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:48pm Julie:

Or am I thinking of some other Elton duet
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:48pm G:

I get the impression Mull/Girls School was really a double A side, and in the US the rocker Girls School got play that Mull (the big hit in the UK) would never have gotten here...
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:48pm steve:

finally, some flute!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:48pm 12539:

Where's Kiki Dee?
Avatar ♥   Wed. 11/7/12 11:49pm efd:

It is, but strangely he's not credited on the record!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:49pm Rickwaukee:

spot on, G
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:49pm Julie:

it's gotta be, it's on Rocket
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:49pm G:

wiki: ""Bad Blood" was a popular song written by Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody. The song, with uncredited backing vocals by Elton John, reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975, remaining in the top position for three weeks"

  Wed. 11/7/12 11:50pm mb:

Hell yeah! EJ and NS on BB. ROCK!
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:51pm Rickwaukee:

member them cheesy TV commercials Sedaka did pushing his best of? Laffter in da Rain
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:52pm Tom - K'way Bklyn:

Elton had Island Girl shortly after that took the #1 Spot just after Bad Blood ... least what it said on WiKI ....
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:53pm G:

Julie means the Rocket label that Bad Blood came out on, cheri
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:53pm Rickwaukee:

75 was very Elton - Pinball Wizard
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:54pm Weems:

  Wed. 11/7/12 11:54pm Danne D:

Thanks for a great show as always, EFD. And please keep giving folks :)
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:55pm Rickwaukee:

Member this was ABC's promo music, like 77
  Wed. 11/7/12 11:56pm jr:

Yes, jr

  Thu. 11/8/12 1:49pm Ajax:

I'd never heard Sunset Bombers!!! Great find! That's a Troggs cover though, not Zombies (I think?)
  Thu. 11/8/12 1:56pm Ajax:

Sweet Ellen Foley track! She really held her own out of Loaf's shadow!
  Thu. 11/8/12 2:09pm efd:

Oh duh, you're right about "I Can't Control Myself." ! I was thrown off by the label name being "Zombie."
  Fri. 11/9/12 6:25pm susan:

so nice to hear Ellen Foley, loved that album
