And Joe, don't overthink it. :)

Tue. 4/7/09 11:19pm From: Joe

In a young man's mind it's a simple world/
there's a little room for music and the rest is girls.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:20pm From: Sybil

I've got a little room for music.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:23pm From: john

Hey!

And am I totally hallucinating, speaking of The Godfathers, thinking I heard the Sid Presley Experience on WNYU?

Tue. 4/7/09 11:24pm From: dave

man, jonathan kane just keeps getting awesomer.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:25pm From: Sybil

This song reminds me of the time I listened to a Stranglers album that had a well-placed scratch on it.

And didn't realize it for about 20 minutes.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:25pm From: Joe

I know, Dave. I'm really starting to think I should go back and listen to some music from those "The Swans."

Tue. 4/7/09 11:25pm From: efd

John, I wouldn't be surprised, though I think they were after my time there.
Dave, agreed.
Hi Sybil! 1-0 so far!

Tue. 4/7/09 11:25pm From: Sybil

That's not a criticism.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:26pm From: john

That wasn't a scratch, Sybil. Just the whole Meninblack album.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:26pm From: Sybil

How did you guess, john?

Tue. 4/7/09 11:28pm From: John

Because I own the <yawn> record. And saw them on that tour, way the heck back in early 1981...and that's what it sounded like, though it was fun live, anyway.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:29pm From: dave

yeah, joe. i've never heard any of the swans stuff. i'm almost afraid to.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:31pm From: joabj

The producers are the secret history of rock n' roll.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:33pm From: john

Madame Wong's was on Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, I think. Did my time there in the late 80s.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:34pm From: Courtney

As far as The Kinks, I'm partial to "Something Else By The Kinks".

Tue. 4/7/09 11:34pm From: joabj

F2F,SE, VGPS, A, LvP&MG, MH, EiSB & don't forget KK and the Great Lost Kinks Album...

Tue. 4/7/09 11:35pm From: johnk77

there were 2 madame wong's in southern california in the early 1980's.
i remember the first one was in LA's chinatown, perhaps downtown LA?
the second madame wong's was on the west side of LA.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:36pm From: Joe

Wow the vocals sound -great-.

efd--you always rock my my tues nites!!!!!!=)=) thank you as always,,

Tue. 4/7/09 11:37pm From: john

You're right, i think the original was in Chinatown but that closed early, while the Santa Monica one was open into the early 90s--I couldn't have got there before '86.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:37pm From: eattothebeat

Re: 'Lab -- It's officially a "hiatus" but they do have a new 31 song record coming out, so fear not.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:37pm From: Glenn L

Thanks Joe!

Hey, JohnK77.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:40pm From: efd

Tue. 4/7/09 11:46pm From: Glenn L

efd, truth be told, It was JohnK77 who showed me almost all of what I know about live sound engineering.

It's all his fault...., I mean I owe all my fame & fortune to him.

Tue. 4/7/09 11:47pm From: efd

cheri, you know Toni Daytona? I had no idea!

In other Luann news, do you think Luann and Gunther are finally going to hook up??

Tue. 4/7/09 11:47pm From: efd

Wed. 4/8/09 12:01am From: Laurie

I heard Night Fever and was hoping for a disco tune! Alas!

I really love that Blood Bank song.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:01am From: Joe

stingy sometimes i think you and me are kindred spirits.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:02am From: efd

Wed. 4/8/09 12:06am From: stingy d

Wed. 4/8/09 12:06am From: cheri

Wed. 4/8/09 12:06am From: Joe

EFD- he should've borrowed the helmet too. Were these sets recorded at the same time?

Wed. 4/8/09 12:08am From: cheri

Wed. 4/8/09 12:10am From: stingy d

Wed. 4/8/09 12:11am From: Laurie

For a second I thought you said Action Painting! and got really excited. But alas.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:14am From: stingy lsd

Wed. 4/8/09 12:19am From: stingy schooly

no more rock and roll

Wed. 4/8/09 12:20am From: efd

Joe, you're right, he should have borrowed the helmet also. The sessions were recorded a week apart, but I acquired information during the Cyclone 60 session that led to Mr. Fiberglass's heroics the following week,

Is that cryptic enough? I will not be commenting further on the matter.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:21am From: john

I thought Action Painting too for a moment. Just another 1990 flashback, I'm afraid.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:26am From: cheri

evan--whens your birthday?? mine is july 12th,,,

Wed. 4/8/09 12:28am From: stingy d

Wed. 4/8/09 12:38am From: efd

a bastille day birthday! nice, Stingy. Mine is Sept 27.

You all realize that now of course I'll expect you all to remember it and wish me a happy birthday in about 5 1/2 months with no additional reminders.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:40am From: Joe

Yes, I'm sure there will be no additional reminders on your publicly accessable twitter, facebook, and myspace pages.

Leos rule, btw.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:41am From: Joe

And awesome job getting the Obits! I am SO INTO that record.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:41am From: Sybil

That is why we have iCal.

Great live set, btw. (I have had my hands full, but I enjoyed listening to it while I worked!)

Wed. 4/8/09 12:45am From: cheri

efd,,i'll certainly remember,,,& again thnx for your company,,,g'nite=)=)

Wed. 4/8/09 12:46am From: efd

goodnight Cheri!

Sybil, glad you enjoyed the set! And Joe, glad you're looking forward to the Obits - I am too! Took a while to get it all finalized, but I got the official word yesterday. Woo!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:53am From: Danne D

Evan Funk Dominator, lord of the diamond, good evening sir!

3*3 = 9
3*3*3 =27
= Evan's birthday.

I'm yet another Cancerian in the audience. 6/30 :)

Go Barre Ks!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:54am From: Laurie

Yay!

Wed. 4/8/09 12:56am From: stingy d

ok, i'm gonna finish my glass of whiskey, and listen to jack nitzsche while i fall asleep, its a pleasure as always. one of these days me and joe will beat the shit out of someone for you evan. and then we'l clink our beers so hard to crumble in our hands, and we'll laugh and laugh.

Wed. 4/8/09 12:58am From: Joe

You know, I always figured Ken would be the first WFMU Dj to inspire violence in his name.

But on the other hand, I do enjoy the occasional beer...

Wed. 4/8/09 1:00am From: stingy d

ken is a barrel of pillows. goodnight

Wed. 4/8/09 1:03am From: john

Evan, were The Oysters from somewhere around your original neck of the woods? I could be totally making it up, but I vaguely recall them from college.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:07am From: efd

John, your memory serves you well, to quote Julie Driscoll. They are indeed from Boston, and included a pre-Titanics/Satanics/Upper Crust Dave Fredette

Wed. 4/8/09 1:25am From: Laurie

Bed time for me!! Goodnight, friendo.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:26am From: efd

ha! goodnight, Laurie!

Wed. 4/8/09 1:28am From: john

And for about 28 years here I was thinking I was the only person in America who liked Secret Affair.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:29am From: Joe

You know, I'm beginning to suspect that Evan has a soft spot for power-pop.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:32am From: efd

Joe, you are a man of very acute perceptions.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:34am From: Joe

GG king - what a name.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:39am From: john

More to the point, I have an opportunity to pick up Matt Wieters in my other league, and can't decide which everyday player to drop for a Triple-A catcher.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:41am From: Danne D

my team is finally getting coordinated a little. My pitcher gave up an RBI single to my other guy and then continued on to get a save :)

We'll need to do a who's who and how on the league site efd!

(As a side note, I've been humbled to realize that I haven't been a very active baseball fan for like, oh a decade so hopefully I don't embarrass myself.)

Anyhow, enjoy the show as always EFD!

Wed. 4/8/09 1:43am From: Danne D

er, enjoying the show that is

Wed. 4/8/09 1:46am From: efd

thanks, Dan.

John, I'm not sure if Wieters would be worth dropping a player who's actually on a major league team....?

Wed. 4/8/09 1:48am From: john

Good point, but he's still probably the AL ROY after they call him up in a month or two, and I have five guys who can play right field, so it's adios Elijah Dukes (bad attitude, great upside) or J. D. Drew (Great attitude, bad upside).

Wed. 4/8/09 1:50am From: efd

do you have as many RF in your other league as you have 2B in my league?

Wed. 4/8/09 1:53am From: john

Technically, more, because of all the outfielders who play multiple positions in the OF. But hey, anyone needs a 2B who isn't Brandon Phillips, I'm your man.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:54am From: Danne D

LOL
sorry I only use 2Bs named Lopez apparently

Wed. 4/8/09 1:56am From: john

Whoa, I haven't heard this Maisonettes single since the '80s, and I actually own it.

Wed. 4/8/09 1:58am From: Danne D

g'night kids!
