Favoriting July 27, 2011: URGE OVERKILL live set!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!


It would be impossible, or at least ill-advised, to write a musical history of the '90s without including a chapter on Urge Overkill. Now, nearly 16 years after their last album was released, original members Nash Kato and Eddie "King" Roeser along with Mike "Hadji" Hodgkiss (Gaza Strippers) and Brian Quast (Cherry Valence, Polvo) have released a brand new Urge album, Rock & Roll Submarine. The band recently wrapped up a two-week tour that included a visit to the WFMU studios for a special acousti-lectric set of some songs from the new album as well as a few selections from their Geffen and Touch & Go releases.

  9:45pm
G:

You wouldn't think there's a 15 year or so gap since they were well-known -- this goes very well with what I know of their prior output...
  9:49pm
efd:

G, I agree!
  9:50pm

  10:07pm
Joe B:

I think the Allen Oldies band version has been banished to the basement.
  10:08pm
warrant:

you don't mean a certain flavor of pie, by chance?
  10:09pm
efd:

Julie, I have songs about neither pie nor cake. Settle down, Warrant.

Joe, I forgot about the Allen Oldies Band version! I think I still would have played the original though, honestly. At least tonight.
  10:13pm
john:

I was going to be really disappointed if the Poisson Rouge connection hadn't been made. Ex-French major and all...

  10:17pm
Dave B:

Chalk Pie..
  10:21pm
Joe B:

Also Saturday at Lincoln Center - there will be a free interview/panel from noon to 3 with many of the performers at the david Rubenstein Atrium, right around the corner from the FMU meet-up.

  10:32pm
Amanda:

  10:33pm
Sybil:

Joe B:

Dexter better than ever!
  10:38pm
kingpenguin:

That joke about drummer being someone who hangs around with musicians is overstated. Who hangs around with drummers?
  10:38pm
cheri:

,,,,,wondering if julie is still here.
  10:38pm
warrant:

@kingpenguin: Eventually, coroners.
  10:41pm
wikipediac:

The Elvis Costello & The Attractions version was first issued as the B-side of Lowe's "American Squirm" and was credited to Nick Lowe and His Sound. At the time Lowe was Elvis Costello's producer, and he produced this track as well. When the song became a hit, it was quickly appended as the last track to the U.S. edition of Costello's album Armed Forces.
  10:42pm
Julie:

@Cheri yes I read my email. I talked about my trip on the air, and I really don't want to talk about The Cake anymore, okay?
  10:42pm
also from wikipedia ("labour of lust" article):

The American version of this record had a slightly different track listing, with "Endless Grey Ribbon" being deleted and replaced by the UK single A-side, "American Squirm." The latter song includes members of Elvis Costello & The Attractions, namely Elvis on backing vocals, Bruce Thomas on bass and Pete Thomas on drums. Credited to "Nick Lowe and His Sound," the B-side of this single was Elvis & The Attractions' version of the Lowe-penned "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding?" "Endless Grey Ribbon" did get an American release as the B-side of the "Cruel to Be Kind" single.
  10:43pm
Julie:

Go to EFD's facebook page! He gives good radio.
  10:45pm
Amanda:

Those Wikipediac/s beat me to the punch while I was busy scooping out cat litter. :-) I have that American Squirm single; Lowe is on the sleeve posing with Costello's guitar that has the latter's name on it.
  10:46pm
Joe B:

another dictators connection! good one!
  10:46pm
cat litter:

oh, so what are we, chopped liver or something?
  10:47pm
Amanda:

I'm with Joe -- love this! Oh, no offense meant to the cat litter or the cats that preside over it.
  10:48pm
Holly in NC:

Hello Evan & fellow listeners - happy Wednesday!
Cat Litter, I so, so which you were chopped liver... mmm.. now I want to render schmaltz...
  10:49pm
cheri:

  10:49pm
Hell's Kitten:

Cat litter! I don't leave my trash around!
  10:49pm
cat litter:

@Holly: That was my point. I am such a joker. :-)
  10:50pm
efd:

Julie:

  10:58pm
Holly in NC:

Best party cake I ever made involved 'cat litter' crumbs & strategically placed semi-melted tootsie rolls served in a litter pan with a pooper scoop utensil...
I LOVED that cake.
@Julie, I also like the Coathangers!
@Evan - the latest Blitzen Trappers may be right up your alley - really evolved from earlier stuff - a couple of songs made me think instantly of you.

ooh! The Hudsons! Boston!
  10:58pm
Dave B:

Anyone have a Spotify invite?

OMD = Oh My Deity
  10:58pm
Julie:

Hmm the number I had to enter was 666..somehow that seems appropriate
  10:58pm
Julie:

Holly that is disgusting
  10:59pm
Kitties:

Num num, Holly! There's noplace happier than a litterbox.
  11:00pm
Holly in NC:

Julie, the cat litter crumbs were actually very buttery, delicious homemade cakes - with lots of blue & green food dye ;-)
  11:00pm
John L.:

I saw OMD in, I think, 1982, at the Savoy. Great show, from what I remember.
  11:00pm
cheri:

  11:01pm
Julie:

  11:02pm
Dave B:

Holly - that cake needs to be Hasselhoff'd like Carl's Jr.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkGUI4bnQbQ
  11:03pm
Sybil:

Oh, man, Hurrah's...
  11:04pm
Hell's Kitten:

Even I would not eat that cake
  11:06pm
The Hounds of Hell:

We would happily eat that cake!
  11:06pm
Hell's Kitten:

Dogs will eat anything
  11:06pm
Kitties:

You guys are bunch of pussies.
  11:07pm
Warrant:

We still prefer cherry pie.
  11:07pm
Skirkie:

Next time your cat is sitting on you, try and suspend belief in the fact that it stands in it's own toilet.
  11:08pm
E.L.:

Valley Lodge was a year ago? Good golly. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago.
  11:08pm
Dave B:

It's no big deal....

The Hounds of Hell:

Woof!
  11:17pm
Dogs:

We believe in recycling.
  11:24pm
efd:

re the two Facebook pages, I think Osvi means my regular personal page that I've had all along, and the new show page I set up. There are probably about a hundred people I'm "friends" with who I have no idea who they are (I know that's improper english) so I want to have another gathering place for listeners besides my personal page.
  11:25pm
Julie:

Agreed..It's a great idea. We need to get Kurt to do one too
  11:27pm
Julie:

even Bosco has a page!
  11:32pm
cheri:

  11:33pm
Julie:

thank you cheri
  11:37pm
Holly in NC:

Not on facebook except for work related necessary fake persona - grumble. Twitter's good for finding food trucks. Miss alt. groups & subscription lists. Bah humbug!
I think, perhaps I'm mostly missing Honking :-( The new bug in my life has big fangs and no personality.
  11:39pm
Sybil:

I have no Facebook account at all. I'm into antisocial notworking.
  11:40pm
Noah:

SCHOOLLY D on MY show NEXT WEEK!!!
  11:40pm

  11:41pm
Danne D:

Hey Funk Fans! Have been enjoying the show, Evan - great Urge Overkill set (though it's a shame there was no time for an interview). Haven't had the computer fired up - was listening via phone.

Dang and then Noah bombs in with a Schoolly D advert ;)
  11:42pm
Danne D:

Yes Julie, amongst other things ;)
  11:43pm
Danne D:

I'm starting to think the sinus pressure bugging my teeth is not sinus pressure :( time to call the dentist *sigh*
  11:43pm
Julie:

Does he sing any songs about pie?
  11:44pm
Sybil:

Danne, you have sinuses near your teeth? That's... odd...
  11:44pm
Julie:

I know what he means when I have sinus/allergies my teeth can hurt
  11:44pm
Holly in NC:

Noah - really???? This actually deserves an OMG! OMG!!

@Julie - just for fun, google Schooly & Bad Lieutenant ...hiphop heads, do NOT turn on me now , this a gateway case;-)
  11:45pm
JEN UMAN:

YEAAAAAOOOOOOOO!!!!
  11:45pm
12539:

@Julie:If 7 Second Delay can get Dennis Hopper (through a medium), you should be able to get Ian Curtis.
  11:45pm
Sybil:

I have to leave the keyboard now so:

Thanks for another great show, efd! And thanks to Urge Overkill and of course Diane Kamikaze!
  11:45pm
Dogs:

Honking's still here, just never keeps the same name. Too limiting.
  11:46pm
Julie:

Oh no! Ian Curtis died! why did no one tell me (SULK)
  11:49pm
Danne D:

Sybil - sometimes I get sinus pressure that affects my top teeth.

But this time I think one is going down :(
  11:49pm
Marathon Man:

Aw cmon, dentists are fun, Danne.
  11:50pm

  11:52pm
Dogs:

  11:56pm
Holly in NC:

Apropos of nothing here, this real life request made me smile - you KNOW I'm bringing melon to my fave museum tomorrow! :
The Museum needs watermelons to help Ursula, our 21 year-old black bear, take her daily medicine. Can you help? Ursula is having some lameness and ataxia (wobbliness) in her rear legs, and we're treating her for that. Her medication dissolves on the juicy melon, and she takes it well this way.
And the other four bears love watermelons, too!
The Museum needs 2 to 3 watermelons per day from now through the end of August. You're invited to think about us when you're shopping, pick up a watermelon and drop it off at the Museum front desk! Thanks in advance for your help, and feel free to cross-post.
  11:56pm
Danne D:

G'night cheri.

Thanks Holly, I'm hanging in there. This really is feeling like a call the dentist tomorrow thing. Something feels not in the right place as it were.

@marathon man - believe me I'm well acquainted with trips to the dentist unfortunately. I have more crowns than Henry V :(
  11:57pm
Marathon Man:

So many crowns? I dub thee King Danne I
  11:58pm
12539:

Another fine show, Mr Funk.
  11:58pm
Sybil:

@Holly - thanks for the anti-friend! I anti-friend you back!

@Danne - I hope you feel better soon!

G'night all!
  11:59pm

  12:04am
Marathon Man:

@Danne: Maybe just use the personality you use on the board...
  12:06am
Danne D:
