Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

Wed. 9/24/08 12:01am

Not to mention my election night blowout!

Dodgers lead 10-1, top of 5th.
I wonder if John is at this game?
Wed. 9/24/08 12:04am
From:

Bottom of 5th, rather.

Wed. 9/24/08 12:18am
From:
efd

(among other people's)
Wed. 9/24/08 12:21am
From:
efd
Oh, and Commenteer John emailed me earlier today - he is flying back from CA at this hour, but he said he made it to the game on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Dodgers lost 1-0 in 11 innings.
Wed. 9/24/08 12:23am
From:
Sybil
Oh, I saw that game. I was cleaning the room while watching. The room got VERY clean.
Wed. 9/24/08 12:31am
From:
efd
haha.
John was the one in the Manny-dreads Dodger cap.
Wed. 9/24/08 12:34am
From:
Sybil
Oh, yeah, that guy.

Jessica
I set a timer, to remind me to turn on the show tonight. Then I accidentally ate some cayenne and got lip blisters, 'cause I'm dainty like that, so then took some real live antihistamines and — holy heck, has that alarm been going off for 2hrs already?
whee.
Wed. 9/24/08 12:55am
From:
efd
Jessica, a happy how-do-you-do to you!!

Ken From Hyde Park
The Monkees TV show was fun to watch when I was a kid. Each week's episode would have them chasing around in sped-up motion during one of their songs, a-la Benny Hill.
Wed. 9/24/08 1:03am
From:
Sybil
It just kind of came up on your MP3 player, did it? Just kind of grew there?
Wed. 9/24/08 1:03am
From:
Sybil
That is pretty creepy.
Wed. 9/24/08 1:07am
From:
efd
well, yeah... I had dumped about 500 random songs from my home mp3 library onto my player, and there it was on my way home tonight. I wasn't really paying attention til about halfway through since I was reading the paper, and suddenly I stopped and re-started it to make sure I really heard what I thought I heard!
Wed. 9/24/08 1:09am
From:
Sybil
And... the Dodgers win, 10-1. Joe Torre's magic number is 3. I'm psyched.
Player of the game: NOMAH!
Wed. 9/24/08 1:12am
From:
Sybil
So Jessica, getting back to those hot pepper blisters - do antihistimines actually help, or just knock you out?
Wed. 9/24/08 1:14am
From:
efd
which would Yankee fans hate more in the World Series - Red Sox vs Mets, or Sox vs. Torre and the Dodgers?
Ken - hi, and thanks for your comment! Monkees had better music than the Benny Hill show, I think (not that you were suggesting otherwise).
Wed. 9/24/08 1:55am
From:
Sybil
They're apparently Danish, so I think you got it right.. (nej pronounced like "nay")
Wed. 9/24/08 1:56am
From:
efd
ah, thanks!
and goodnight ,everyone!
