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.

I agree with what Joe said.
And dave... what is it you're implying about moms, exactly?
Tue. 11/25/08 11:24pm
From:
efd
hi everyone! Dave, say hi to your Mom for me! Glad you and Annabelle are enjoying the Kid K.
Joe, agreed on The Headboys! And Johnny H. is long gone.

Hey Evan! Missed the show the last couple weeks--on a plane to London two weeks ago and brought a nasty little bout of food poisoning home with me in time for last Tuesday. Not as much fun as it all sounds, srsly. Great to be back!

Hey John! Hey Sybil! All my old friends are back home for Thanksgiving!

My mom loves Joe Belock. But only because she wandered into the living room during his White Album stunt this afternoon. Rarely have I seen another human being so transfixed by the radio.
Ev, did you at least get a picture or some book signage action?
Tue. 11/25/08 11:27pm
From:
Sybil
Joe Belock's White Album tribute was just un-frickin-believable. Any mom would love him for that.

evan,,i love kid koala also,,,please play more =)
Tue. 11/25/08 11:28pm
From:

that White Album tribute was stunning. Words fail.
No pic or sig... too much going on, and I didn't want to be overly fanboyish. I did tell him my Twitter ID, though.
Tue. 11/25/08 11:34pm
From:
Joe
You realize you'll have to make that public, once we start the EFD fanclub.
But don't tell us now. My twitter schedule is booked, now that I know that I can follow CNN's own Rick Sanchez!

to tell the truth, Joe, my Twitter ID is neither secret nor very hard to figure out.

you were in Toronto??? thats where I listen from! What brought you here and where did you buy the headboys from? gotta say, love the Best Show transitions. perfect chaser to Tom's mirth and mayhem.

From:

Hey Colin, yeah, I was there around the middle/end of Sept for a couple of Red Sox games (and my birthday!). Picked up the Headboys (and a bunch of other stuff) at Discovery on... Queen St East, I think?
Annabell, no more Kid Koala tonight.
Neon Tetra, thanks!

Queen East! Wow. Not the tourist destination, but kinda cooler that way. Keep up the great job on the show. I came down and volunteered at the 2003 record show. Gotta do that again in the future. It was fun and Pseu gave me intros to most of the DJs (except you!).

From:
efd
My travel companion and I actually walked all the way out there from the hotel we were staying at near Skydome (not the one actually in Skydome, but in that area). Long walk, but I enjoyed it, and was happy to not be in a very touristy area,
I wasn't yet a DJ here in 2003, so Pseu is excused for not introducing you. :)

FMU - EFD = some crazy algebra that I can't do.
This song is destroying my brain, also. In a good way.

take care Annabelle, have a great Thanksgiving!

love your out of towner gusto! worth the walk. Going west on Queen also is full of discoveries. If you ever come up again, drop me a line and I would be glad to show you around. I brought Irwin up here for a fest that showed his outsider vids. Love the WFMU! Was bummed the other day cause I lost my MFU winter toque on the subway. Bah!

Hey efd, did you like Skydome (Rogers Centre)? I've been twice, and to me it feels like a bus station or something. Concrete and astroturf...very unnatural.
Wed. 11/26/08 12:09am
From:
listener colin in toronto
ick. skydome. just use it as spot on the map and nothing else. same with the CN tower. was there as a school kid. now it just means "South"

One of the best shows you've ever done efd

I think I needed some Belle & Sebastian. It suits my current mood. :(

Oh, pardon, I didn't see your sad emoticon.
Wed. 11/26/08 12:25am
From:
efd
why so glum, Laurie?
Hi Jere... I know what you mean re Skyd-- er, Rogers Centre, there's definitely a sterile feeling to it. It reminded me of those old multi-purpose stadiums from the 60s/70s like the Vet in Philly, even though it's much newer than that.
Colin, I will probably be back in TO for a Sox series next year, so I might just take you up on that offer.
Mr h, thanks!

I have to say, the comments page of my show is the last place i'd expect a gearhead throwdown to break out.

So, is the Merry go-round gonna be your Beatles tribute?
I know some people knock them, but I love that album. What else is on the collection?
Wed. 11/26/08 12:50am
From:
john
But would Emitt Rhodes drive one?
Wed. 11/26/08 12:50am
From:
Stan not the DJ
Obviously, I'm kidding.
Wed. 11/26/08 12:51am
From:
Joe
based on my mental image of Emmit Rhodes, I think he DID drive one. All around the american southwest. In a tiedye shirt, with a bandanna on.
Wed. 11/26/08 12:53am
From:
john
Pictures of his garage studio are easy to find, the displaced car(s) less so.
Wed. 11/26/08 12:56am
From:
john
And you could do a whole lot worse than a Merry-Go-Round tribute. At least you wouldn't have to find covers for the dreck that makes up at least a side and a half of the White Album...
Wed. 11/26/08 12:58am
From:
Joe
Haaaaaaaaaaaaarsh man, harsh. I'm incapable of judging the White Album, or any Beatles records, really, because I've been listening to them since I was in utero. The Moody Blues too.
Wed. 11/26/08 1:07am
From:

Merry Go Round tribute? The Bangles did Live.
Wed. 11/26/08 1:16am
From:

I'm pretty sure I've heard a cover of "Time Will Show The Wiser" too, although I can't place it right now.

Fairport Convention. Really good, too.

Just caught the podcast in the car on the way to work today and I hear J-Rock's mom's speech about paying for his turntables. Hilarious because I just watched that episode last night. I just got turned onto Trailer Park Boys and that was the last episode I saw. what are the odds.
