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.

john:
Hey Evan! Great to be back...in LA last week, otherwise engaged at the early hour the show's on Pacific time. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:10pm
efd:
Hi John, good to have you back! | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:14pm
john:
My week is all thrown off when I'm not listening on Tuesday night, but at least I was at my favorite restaurant. Day-um that dinner was good. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:25pm
C:
This is a great one! | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:27pm
efd:
let the record show that C was referring to the Cheek song.... not "Funky Gold Menorah." | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:29pm
Joe:
Just when I had lost hope in the comics page... there was F Minus. And as Jew, I am deeply offended. Just kidding, I'm not a Jew. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:29pm
C:
This is a great one! (this time I'm referring to the "Funky Gold Menorah") | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:29pm
Jessica:
Holla day. Yeeeeah. [Hi, EFD!] | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:30pm
Laurie:
This is not "Christmas Wrapping." | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:31pm
Joe:
Oh, man, "Christmas Wrapping" is so awesome. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:36pm
Laurie:
I thought Jim Jarmusch was really sexy when I was in high school. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:37pm
Otter:
OMG! when you were taling about doing facials on the air, I first thought you were talking about a different kind of "facial" | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:38pm
Sybil:
Ochos Kandelikas by the Hip Hop Hoodios? | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:40pm
Joe:
FUCKING SICK!!!! Seriously, this song makes me wanna "WOOOO!" | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:41pm
Laurie:
There's a really good Hanukkah song on Gaylord Records' "Cwistmas Twee comp. It makes me happy. Also, I have approximately 500 indie Christmas mp3s on my hard drive. Feel free to email me if you need something in particular. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:42pm
Laurie:
And by indie, I mean indie pop. Of course. Gaylord, Siesta, Kindercore, Parasol, etc etc. Yes. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:44pm
Laurie:
Special Request: PLEASE DO NOTE PLAY "A Cat Carol" or whatever that song is, I WILL CRY AND NOT STOP FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. I'm a;ready welling up just thinking about the damn song. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:47pm
efd:
hmm, filling these requests is going to be harder than I thought! I don't think you have to worry about "Cat Carol," I don't even know what that is. Joe, glad you liked both Cyclone 60 *and* F-Minus! Hi Jessica! Hi Sybil! | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:48pm
Laurie:
Will you play Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas"? | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:50pm
C:
No offense, Laurie, but I really want to hear "Cat Carol" now. I don't know what it is either. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:53pm
Laurie:
A couple months ago, a homeless dude in New York asked me and my friend for some money. He said, "I'm like Obama, I like change too." WIN. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:54pm
Laurie:
Also, Cat Carol is easily the saddest song ever. Ever. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:54pm
C:
Ah. Now I see. Need Kleenex. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:54pm
john:
I actually heard two girls behind the counter in an inner city pharmacy use Obama as slang for change--"you got Obama for this fifty?" | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:56pm
Joe:
I'm gonna go Barack into something more comfortable. | |
|
Tue. 12/16/08 11:59pm
C:
Have you ever been to Kowloon (restaurant) on Rt. 1 in Saugus? Definitely one of the more unique dining experiences in Mass. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:00am
Jessica:
AC/DC has proved a pretty good soundtrack for waiting-[and-waiting]--for-the-offending-other's-criminal-arraignment; I bet the soundalike will be just as fine for the tort phase. And I hope I get to find out. These continuances are cramping my effing style. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:18am
john:
Man, I miss these guys, Wildly underrated. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:18am
efd:
*pant pant pant* man, craziest Midnight Ticket Oasis ever! Let me go fill in my playlist now... | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:19am
john:
A pair and a half of pants. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:23am
Joe:
That was ninja sonik? I might have to stop not-liking them. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:28am
john:
It was the first single, and then they re-recorded it for the second album a couple years later. Done by Bill Nelson both times, actually. It's a shade distressing that I didn't actually look that up, even if I'm wrong. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:33am
Laurie:
If it's not too much trouble, would you mind playing the Shivvers for me tonight? THANK YOU. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:35am
john:
Oh, and that Nerves comp is boss. An absolute must. Jack Lee went on to not very much. According to the notes, that was Paul Collins and Peter Case after they split from Lee. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:40am
efd:
thanks for the AFOS info, John - I knew I could count on you. Laurie, if I can give myself enough time to run itno the library I'll play some Shivvers, but no promises. C, I think I *have* been to Kowloon a long time ago... isn't there a (somewhat) similar restaurant nearby? (And no, I'm not talking about the Hilltop Steak House.) | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:51am
?:
I think you're thinking of Weylu's! It was like three times the size of Kowloon a little bit up Rt. 1. It closed about 10 years ago, but they just left it up there. Now I think it's an old folks home for Asians, at least that's what people tell me. I always thought they should have turned it into a casino. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:52am
Laurie:
I think you mean "over the tubes." (Is that still funny? A series of tubes?) | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 12:53am
Joe:
First it was funny, then it was scary, then it was tragi-comic, and now it's just classic. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:02am
efd:
grrr... i seem to have misplaced an entire CDR! I swear I had it here earlier tonight, but maybe I'll find it sitting on my dining room table when I get home. "over the tubes" - I like it! | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:08am
Laurie:
I actually just said to myself, "This fellow sounds a wee bit like Brian Ferry." I'm ti-ti and should go to bed. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:10am
HotRod:
hey hey | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:15am
efd:
hi HotRod! | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:46am
john:
Another great ex-WLIR track... | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:48am
efd:
I've got a million of 'em... | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:49am
Joe:
My parents still talk about WLIR. They said it was awesome. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:50am
john:
Joe, your parents? That's honestly not the kind of talk that wins friends and influences people. And yeah, only commercial station worth a damn. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:52am
Sybil:
Time to break out the rocking chairs for us old folks. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:54am
Sybil:
I can think of two other commercial stations worth a damn, but they're even further back in the mists of history. And also, at this time of night I'm sure I won't be able to come up with their call letters. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:57am
Joe:
It's funny, because my father was describing the early days of WNEW to me, and how "the DJ's played whatever they wanted". It sounded strangely familiar. WPLJ was also supposedly amazing. I have a handed down PLJ Peter Frampton Pin that I've been known to pin on a backpack or two. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:57am
efd:
WPIX for one, right? | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 1:58am
john:
I was thinking 1980s. I should have elaborated. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 2:00am
Sybil:
Ah, yes, WPIX. Those were the days. The other one was in the DC area. Doug Schulkind mentioned it once. | |
|
Wed. 12/17/08 2:06am
efd:
the DC one was WHFS, I bet. Those call letters are still in use, but I think it's a sports talk station now. | |
