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.

Tue. 12/9/08 11:09pm
Sybil:
Missed you last week. Although Todd did a great job.
I needed this song!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:11pm
efd:
thanks Sybil, thanks Annabelle! I'm glad to be back (and grateful to Todd for the last-minute fill-in last week).
Tue. 12/9/08 11:14pm
annabelle clark:
like sybil said you were missed..i guess you didn't feel well last week,,,btw efd what was the worst gift that you ever got,,hmm???
Tue. 12/9/08 11:19pm
annabelle c.:
evan have you got any special holiday plans?
Tue. 12/9/08 11:20pm
efd:
Annabelle, in the words of Rosanne Rosannadanna: you ask a lot of questions!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:25pm
Sybil:
I am in love with tonight's show. That is all.
Tue. 12/9/08 11:25pm
annabelle clark:
evan forgive me for being soo nosey,,,i'm sorry efd,, ohhhhhhh yaaaaaahhhhhh tee set
Tue. 12/9/08 11:32pm
Sybil:
Bullet wound???
Tue. 12/9/08 11:39pm
efd:
You'll have to listen to the very beginning of Todd's fill-in from last week.
p.s. I'm fine.
Tue. 12/9/08 11:41pm
C:
he really scared me for a second there. glad all's well!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:44pm
hazeljane:
the music is GREAT
Tue. 12/9/08 11:45pm
annabelle c.:
evan i'm really glad that your ok this week,,,& i'm still sorry for being nosey,,,
Tue. 12/9/08 11:47pm
efd:
thanks Hazeljane, thanks Annabelle.
C, I can see how that would have caused some alarm... especially for people who either aren't in NY or don't follow football (or both)
Tue. 12/9/08 11:50pm
Sybil:
The bullet-football connection is known even to this complete football non-follower. (I try very hard not to know anything about football, but it's more difficult than you might think.)
Tue. 12/9/08 11:50pm
C:
Haha. No, it was actually the part where he said something like "don't blame Tom for joking about Evan's absence, he didn't know what happened." the guy really sold it.
Tue. 12/9/08 11:52pm
Sybil:
OK, now I've got to go listen to it. Well, not *now*, but later.
Will it only make sense if I also listen to the last few minutes of Tom's show? (I must have missed this - dang!)
Tue. 12/9/08 11:57pm
Pete:
Even:
Listener Pete here. Hope all is well with you. If possible, requesting that you play the song "Brown Eyes" by Gary Charlson off the Numero Titan records comp.
Thanks!!
Tue. 12/9/08 11:59pm
annabelle/catlin:
well evan i'm outa here,,thank you for putting up with me,,,rest easy,,see u next week--g'nite =)=)=) peace & love
Wed. 12/10/08 12:04am
efd:
goodnight Annabelle!
Hello Pete! I am going to have to go in to the comments system and correct your misspelling of my name... but I do have that Titan comp here in the studio, so the odds of your request getting played are good. :)
Wed. 12/10/08 12:07am
efd:
Sybil, yes, ideally the whole thing works best if you hear the tail end of Tom's show first... C, yes, I see your point - Todd did a good job of sounding pretty grave (for a change!).
Wed. 12/10/08 12:13am
wendy:
what is the no. again? love the show
Wed. 12/10/08 12:22am
annabelle c.:
i'm sorry evan,but i was just wonderin would you consider me as one of your fave comenters?? i want to know,,,thank you
Wed. 12/10/08 12:22am
randy in NC:
efd, while you're at it with Brown Eyes, could I add Big Brown Eyes to the list? Or Amplifier?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:24am
C:
i don't know if this means anything to you, but you're one of my favorite commenters, annabelle.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:27am
efd:
and I agree with C.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:30am
Laurie:
What did we do wrong? Did we do something to anger you, Evan, and that's why you're playing Ace Frehley?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:30am
Laurie:
Was it because that one person spelled your name wrong or something?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:33am
efd:
Laurie, if I were mad at you(se), I would have played Peter Criss.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:44am
MARK:
Do you like Nitecaps' GO TO THE LINE?
Wounded Bird Records just reissued it. They also did Polyrock and Bonnie Hayes. Bonnie Hayes is cool, too.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:45am
randy in NC:
efd, when you get a chance sometime, check out Tramp by the band Royal Purple. Joe B. played it today, man what a thing with a hook.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:48am
efd:
Randy, I actually played that a few weeks ago! (Along with the original version by BTO!)
HI MARK! That's cool about the Nitecaps reissue, I'll have to keep an eye out.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:50am
randy in NC:
Oh yes I remember that now. It's late...
Wed. 12/10/08 12:51am
efd:
no worries, Randy... I don't expect everyone to mentally catalog all my shows. :)
Wed. 12/10/08 12:54am
john:
Damn, that Eagles of Death Metal song was good...even if it was a piss-take...I may need to reappraise.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:54am
Sybil:
Hearing this makes me feel unreasonably nostalgic.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:56am
C:
did they really name this album "theme from growing pains"? is that the most sought after theme that's going to sell the album?
Wed. 12/10/08 12:57am
efd:
well it certainly isn't the theme from "My Sister Sam."
although there is something Murphy Brown-related on there, you'd think that would be the hook.
Wed. 12/10/08 12:59am
john:
Evan, play some Sexual Objects if WFMU has it...Merrie England is a great single...
Wed. 12/10/08 1:00am
Joe:
Hi, Evan, just stopping in because that last track destroyed what's left of my sanity. Greatest American Hero indeed.
Good show, carry on.
Wed. 12/10/08 1:02am
?:
awesome
Wed. 12/10/08 1:06am
john:
RIP Wursthaus
Wed. 12/10/08 1:06am
C:
that great restaurant is gone, unfortunately
Wed. 12/10/08 1:12am
efd:
i figured as much... if Out Of Town news can't make it I don't have much hope for anything else in Harvard Square.
Wed. 12/10/08 1:15am
C:
that newstand in the middle of the square? how is that possible?
Wed. 12/10/08 1:16am
john:
that's closing...they sold in '94 to Hudson...and now Hudson's leaving...
Wed. 12/10/08 1:18am
efd:
John is correct, unfortunately. I think Nini's Corner is still there, at least?
Wed. 12/10/08 1:18am
john:
yessir it is
Wed. 12/10/08 1:19am
C:
yikes. next you're going to tell me that the weirdos have been moved out of the pit by the t stop
Wed. 12/10/08 1:20am
john:
they will never leave...like cockroaches, they'll be there after the bomb hits
Wed. 12/10/08 1:23am
randy in NC:
More hook
Wed. 12/10/08 1:30am
Laurie:
PRIDE OF MIAMI.
Wed. 12/10/08 1:55am
M Otis Beard:
Oh, this is fantastic. I'm lying in bed in a big rig at a truck stop in Salina, Kansas... and I'm listening to WFMU.
Tue. 12/16/08 3:59pm
Chris:
Thanks for playing Dogmatics - Gimme the Shakes! I love that song. I've always liked the 7" version better than the lp version.
