Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Howdy! Did you know that efd has played "The Bedazzler" by Stag 14 times in the last 5 years. His most played Artist is Bowie with 89 spins? Also that TCM is the most similar show to EFD on WFMU, statistically speaking? Do you care? If you are a data nerd please check out the beta version of the WFMU PLAYLIST EXPLORER at wfmu.serverbeer.com. | |

Dear God, I like Street Eaters! Don't spare the furniture! | |

Wed. 11/8/17 9:44pm
Stevel:
That's a lot of freaking noise for two people! | |
![]() |
![]() Quite an intense experience when I logged on. Keep it up! Lotsa energy coming from 2 people. Would like to see a triple bill of duos some day. |

![]() |
![]() these two are fantastic |
![]() |
![]() also thanks for spreading the word about tonight's show! |

Wed. 11/8/17 9:54pm
Ahmad:
Yeah, it is. :) They did have to be done before the noise ordinance kicked in at 10, though. | |
![]() |
![]() ha, I bet! |
![]() |
![]() I would just like to point out that the two instruments in this band are drums and bass. That's right: bass. Not guitar. Bass. |

Stevel:
Holy shit. That is all. | |
![]() Well played, Street Eaters, well played. | |

Super programming | |
![]() |
![]() @Cooh John I don't know from stringed instruments myself, but I'm sure part of it has to do with the fact that he's playing through two different amps simultaneously. |
![]() |
![]() The Magic Factory strikes again : ) |
![]() |
![]() Wait, What? Bass?? |
Wed. 11/8/17 10:05pm
Stevel:
They sure know how to end a song, much less playing them. Woof! | |
Wed. 11/8/17 10:08pm
Stevel:
Did the bassist use many pedals? Mostly, it seems he's just playing the shit out of it. | |
![]() |
![]() Mostly the latter, but some of the former. |
Wed. 11/8/17 10:12pm
Stevel:
Again: Woof! | |

![]() |
![]() pretty sure it was Tractor Tavern - that sounds familiar now that you mention it. |
![]() |
