F-Minus by Tony Carrillo
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.

Hey Evan! Great to be back...in LA last week, otherwise engaged at the early hour the show's on Pacific time.

Hi John, good to have you back!

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.

This is a great one!
Tue. 12/16/08 11:27pm
From:

let the record show that C was referring to the Cheek song.... not "Funky Gold Menorah."

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.

This is a great one!
(this time I'm referring to the "Funky Gold Menorah")

Holla day.
Yeeeeah.
[Hi, EFD!]

This is not "Christmas Wrapping."
Tue. 12/16/08 11:31pm
From:

Oh, man, "Christmas Wrapping" is so awesome.

I thought Jim Jarmusch was really sexy when I was in high school.

OMG! when you were taling about doing facials on the air, I first thought you were talking about a different kind of "facial"

Ochos Kandelikas by the Hip Hop Hoodios?

FUCKING SICK!!!!
Seriously, this song makes me wanna "WOOOO!"
Tue. 12/16/08 11:41pm
From:
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
From:
Laurie
And by indie, I mean indie pop. Of course. Gaylord, Siesta, Kindercore, Parasol, etc etc. Yes.
Tue. 12/16/08 11:44pm

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
From:
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
From:
Laurie
Will you play Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas"?
Tue. 12/16/08 11:50pm
From:
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
From:

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
From:
Laurie
Also, Cat Carol is easily the saddest song ever. Ever.
Tue. 12/16/08 11:54pm
From:
C
Ah. Now I see. Need Kleenex.
Tue. 12/16/08 11:54pm
From:
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
From:
Joe
I'm gonna go Barack into something more comfortable.

Have you ever been to Kowloon (restaurant) on Rt. 1 in Saugus? Definitely one of the more unique dining experiences in Mass.

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.

A pair and a half of pants.

That was ninja sonik? I might have to stop not-liking them.
Wed. 12/17/08 12:28am
From:
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
From:
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
From:
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
From:
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
From:
?
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
From:
Laurie
I think you mean "over the tubes." (Is that still funny? A series of tubes?)
Wed. 12/17/08 12:53am
From:
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
From:
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!

I actually just said to myself, "This fellow sounds a wee bit like Brian Ferry." I'm ti-ti and should go to bed.

I've got a million of 'em...
Wed. 12/17/08 1:49am
From:
Joe
My parents still talk about WLIR. They said it was awesome.
Wed. 12/17/08 1:50am
From:
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
From:
Sybil
Time to break out the rocking chairs for us old folks.
Wed. 12/17/08 1:54am
From:
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
From:
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
From:
efd
WPIX for one, right?
Wed. 12/17/08 1:58am
From:
john
I was thinking 1980s. I should have elaborated.
Wed. 12/17/08 2:00am
From:
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
From:
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.
