@Bootsie back in the day I was in a local NYC glitter rock band named ~ Teenage Lust & the Lustettes. I was a Lustette. Evan plays a few of our songs every once in a while.. we're probably due to hear some Lust soon !!! where did you see them? |
![]() |
![]() @blob (and anyone else interested in that Crazy Sunday ep I played earlier): You can email the label at drchompski at chompskimusic.com, and tell them you heard it on my show. They'll hook you up. It'll also be on iTunes soon. |

![]() Hey everyone! Love the Wipers, I don't know why they're not more popular like Black Flag or the Misfits?! Maybe they didn't have a cool enough logo?! |

Stevel:
I'll be the judge of that! | |
![]() |
![]() haha what is going on |
![]() |
![]() Hey, the efd show, something green (ahem), coffee, and some late-night graphic design work, sometimes I love my job! @Loretta: that is soooo cool, I'll have to look up LT! |
![]() |
![]() Hey @Loretta I'm back. Had to wash my dye out. ;-) just checked out a TL clip on YouTube. Good stuff! I can't remember the year, but early '90s or possibly even late '80s. Ric Ocasek was on guitar! |

![]() these voice actors are so bad on this off-brand Kojak record |
![]() |
![]() I love it! I had a Star Trek record when I was a kid, not even sure if it was the real cast. Something about a wizard appearing on the Enterprise, whose name was Klee, of all things. I think my grandparents got it for me. |

![]() Ever see that thing on YouTube, a promo video Telly Savalas did in the mid-70s for Birmingham (UK)? I guess it's something the city government would show to try to attract business. It's hilarious! |
![]() |
![]() I remember some Kojak episode where someone mentioned a phone number with the 683 prefix instead of the generic 555. My hometown is 683. Also, 683 stood for MUrdoch-3, according to one of my grade school teachers. |

Chris M.:
fuck this song is great |
![]() |
![]() @Ken: What hometown is that? I was born in '69, and when I was in like second and third grade, Kojak was big on TV. There were all these fairly real toy pistols back then branded for Kojak, Columbo, and some other TV cops, and my friends and I all had one, used to play cops and robbers at recess. Can you imagine that today? Whole school would be on lockdown and attempts to press adult charges. Anyway, here's that Telly Savalas link for some post-efd viewing, it's really funny: www.youtube.com... |

![]() @mariano - A one-stoplight town in SE North Dakota. www.lisbonnd.com... |
![]() |
![]() @Ken -- oh cool, I lived in Omaha for five years way back when. Never made it to ND though, just SD. Are you a fan of Fargo (the series)? |
![]() |
![]() @mariano: Ah, the 1970s! When I had a black toy machine gun that looked just like a real gun. And one of my fondest childhood memories was climbing the wobbly monkey bars in a local playground with that guy and we would all play this game which was basically, “Let’s rock these rickety monkey bars until someone falls off and lands face first on the hard rubber in the playground.” Ah, youth! Such innocence! |
![]() |
![]() Afterword: I would pretend to shoot at other kids while rocking it to see if I could scare them into falling down. Those were the wonder years! |
![]() |
![]() On that note, great show Evan! Goodnight to all! |
![]() |
![]() I deeply thank you--as ever! |
![]() |
![]() @mariano - Haven't paid attention to it. When the TV's on here, it's tuned to some sporting event or else Comedy Central, for the most part. |
![]() |
![]() my pleasure Chop Scott, Jake, and all! |

Thinking I know how this could end tonight. | |
![]() |
![]() you know me too well, Stevel |
![]() |
![]() @JakeGould: have a good night, if I haven't missed you! @Ken -- I hear you, we all have our likes. If you ever do feel like a good series, though, it's a good one, much of it shot in ND. Thanks for the great show as always efd! |
Wed. 8/31/16 11:57pm
Stevel:
Perhaps. Always a pleasure! Thank you for wonderful radio. | |
