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.

Sybil:
Yow! More verification of Big Bang Theory.
Tue. 7/1/08 11:13pm
jackie burkhardt:

Tue. 7/1/08 11:14pm
Randy in NC:
Maybe the Muggs will be the only band from that show that goes anywhere... Thanks to you...
Tue. 7/1/08 11:16pm
efd:
lord knows i'm trying, Randy! happy early birthday, JB/TD!
Sybil, i'm certainly not going to deliberately try to prove you're wrong, of course... :)
Tue. 7/1/08 11:20pm
toni d.:
evan--PLEASE play some cheap trick for us ty ever soooo much,,hugs & kisses OXOXOXO
Tue. 7/1/08 11:21pm
Michael Ackerman:
Hey EFD--nice call that Sham 69
Tue. 7/1/08 11:21pm
efd:
of course now you've got me thinking I can get away with anything...
Tue. 7/1/08 11:21pm
Sybil:
los pueblos unidos jamás serán vencidos!
Or something like that.
Tue. 7/1/08 11:24pm
Sybil:
Oh, hang diacriticals, anyway.
Ooooh, want to see what I got on the subway? Can I post a link? Let's see if this works:

Tue. 7/1/08 11:27pm
jackie/toni:
efd--please play DREAM POLICE=)=)=)
Tue. 7/1/08 11:28pm
Droll:
. o O ( 25 year old vinyl, through MP3 conversion and the drums on that Starship tune still sound like $1EUR -- USD are sad things... )
Tue. 7/1/08 11:37pm
Laurie:
Lion update: They've been moving the cam position around. The nursery is quite big! Big enough to accommodate a small stand of large trees for use as a scratching pole.
Tue. 7/1/08 11:39pm
efd:
Sybil, that's a great poster!
Laurie, there are 4 baby raccoons (and their Mom) living under my garage - I'm gonna set up a webcam of my own!
Tue. 7/1/08 11:43pm
Sybil:
Speaking of Yo-yo... he's still a free agent AFAIK.
Oh - Raccoon babycam! Yeah!
Tue. 7/1/08 11:46pm
batgirl:
best birthday wishes to jackie & toni
Tue. 7/1/08 11:48pm
efd:
i only wish i were clever enough to have played "yo-yo" for Julian
Tue. 7/1/08 11:48pm
ross:
this song kicks ass
Tue. 7/1/08 11:51pm
Sybil:
Are jackie and toni one and the same person? Or two separate people? I'm so confused... Happy birthday to you*!
* Is "you" singular or plural?
Tue. 7/1/08 11:53pm
Joe:
The plural of "you" is "youse"
Wed. 7/2/08 12:00am
Droll:
In Pittsburgh they say "Yinz", which is a bastardized contraction of "You Ones". I think TD is a reforming comma abusing automata triggered by station staff playing with the computer in the library.
[The Cars rock -- Thx!]
Wed. 7/2/08 12:00am
Sybil:
Joe, right you are.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:08am
Joe:
So what you're saying Droll, is that TD is like Skynet.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:10am
fan:
This is the vivian girls? I love them. And they must love the Feelies.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:16am
Laurie:
Serious cuteness: http://atvs.vg.no/player/?id=16995
One of the cubs is grooming the other one -- licking the other one's chinny! And another one is using the one getting groomed as a pillow.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:19am
toni d.:
sorry folks--only evan knows who i really am rite efd??=)=)=)
Wed. 7/2/08 12:21am
Laurie:
I know who you are, George.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:21am
reid:
yaay for screaming females!!
Wed. 7/2/08 12:28am
marina:
laurie why are you being mean to toni? goodnight evan
Wed. 7/2/08 12:29am
Laurie:
What? Being mean would involve revealing your last name, too, but I'm not going to do that.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:30am
Droll:
. o O ( Now if I could only find out who programmed Laurie, I could find the programmer of TD, and then it's a small matter of catching Mr. Mustard in the Library with the Automata )
Wed. 7/2/08 12:30am
Laurie:
Do you think it's like Rumpelstiltskin? I reveal Toni Daytona's real name, and now his power's gone and he has to go back to wherever it is he dwells.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:32am
john:
Laurie, only one way to find out....
Wed. 7/2/08 12:33am
Droll:
[Drum roll... Building anticipation... Pregnant Pause....]
Wed. 7/2/08 12:35am
Sybil:
If that pause gives birth, we'll have to set up a webcam for the little pauselings.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:38am
Sybil:
nene records is just an endless source of wonderfulness, isn't it?!
Wed. 7/2/08 12:42am
Renato (from Brazil):
I'm bored here in my room, please dj, what about any Replacements song from "Pleased To Meet Me" album era?
ps: "Hey Mr. On The Radio, please play my favorite song" (Cheap Trick - On The Radio)
Wed. 7/2/08 12:44am
john:
black jack was in a powerpop band in the 90s. cool guy.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:47am
Laurie:
Was Dennis Diken seriously namechecked in that song?? WOW!
Wed. 7/2/08 12:48am
Joe:
One of my earliest baseball memories is my father screaming obscenities at the television when Mcdowell gave up the walk off home run that knocked the Yanks out of the playoffs in '95. Completely ruined dinner.
Wed. 7/2/08 12:49am
efd:
he was indeed!
Wed. 7/2/08 12:56am
efd:
(i'm still chuckling at the pauselings webcam joke, btw)
Wed. 7/2/08 1:00am
john:
i stand corrected, he appears still to have that band, stickfigure. not bad, either. I can't find the Yankee Flipper NY Post back page anywhere, though, dammit.
Wed. 7/2/08 1:10am
Laurie:
Oh damn, I was hoping we could hear the Feelies too :(
Wed. 7/2/08 1:18am
efd:
yeah, unfortunately only Sonic Youth will be broadcast live.
Wed. 7/2/08 1:22am
Droll:
I can't see anyone trying to bootleg that show... And WFMU never plays bootlegs, so I guess we're S.O.L... Unless, just maybe, a little rule gets bent and...
Wed. 7/2/08 1:35am
moonlight lady:
evan i want to take this opportunity just to say you rock my summer every tuesday night! ty
Wed. 7/2/08 1:52am
Droll:
Lovin' this Steinski tune, but I keep expecting it to break in to I Left My Wallet in El Segundo!
Wed. 7/2/08 1:55am
efd:
i am ashamed of myself for totally sleeping on that Steinski retrospective, it is amazing.
Tue. 7/8/08 2:34pm
Cyn:
Thanks for the spin Evan!
