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.

Cheri, I hope I am too! But none of us will know until sometime around the middle of June, so you'll need to find a new question.
Hi John, em2, sveden and Mark!

They keep their super secret summer schedule hidden from all eyes and announce it at 5 in the morning, like the Oscars.

Is there a paranoia or disease theme to this set, per the show title? I can't identify it! Ohhhh no!

When I hear the Thermals I get the "feelin' just fine" flu.

Ah, you mean the "so happy I'm lying supine" flu!
Hand sanitizer is supposed to be bad for you, isn't it?
Tue. 4/28/09 11:36pm
From:
dustin
that's great to hear aceyalone's new stuff. The Book of Human Language is a great album but completely different than this new release.

Hand sanitizer is fine if you drink it in moderation.

Hey Evan, where can I get that "Heavy Metal" Label compilation? Is it available for purchase anywhere online, or do I have to pester my local record stores? If you can't post a link here, you're more than welcome to e-mail it to me

From:
Amanda
Hey, late to add this, but I saw Muck and the Mires just recently! They were what's commonly known as "a ton of fun" live. Of course, I was trying to drink as much hand sanitizer as listener Joe and his friend at the time, so my memory could be skewed.
Tue. 4/28/09 11:49pm
From:
efd
Paolo, there's no contact info or (legit) address on that record - I think you might just have to search around online to see if it's listed anywhere.
E.L.. nice to see you listening in realtime! Dustin, glad you dug the Aceyalone cut. Amanda, yes, I think I've heard that before as well. Hi Pearly, and goodnight Cheri/Toni!

Eeek! Someone else's cover of Lonelyhearts? It was the only good song by the Atlantics but then someone thought they could do it better (apparently). Evan, yer my favorite show for always!

Gary Private sounds like Paul Staney. He's creeping me out a little aktuly. I think it's the way he says "Hawts".

rework, this is what i'm looking for. nice!
Wed. 4/29/09 12:09am
From:
efd
cool, Stingy! How's your knee? (it was your knee that was banged up, right?)
Hi Jessica - I know what you mean about Gary Private, which is partly why I was thinking it was weird that he was on Select - but maybe that's selective memory on my part.
Hi Will, glad you appreciated(?) that cover!

Evan Some Questions did you work at bcn in Boston somewhere around 1980? I have some cassettes i made of bcn around that time and the set list s are just like yours..
I even have that song of a local Boston band that had the lyrics That went "talk talk talk talk about it?
Do you Know that song?
about 15/20 minutes ago, what was the song that sounded like a Bad Company 70's type song? Thanks
......

you not liking that song so much, makes me happier actually.
Wed. 4/29/09 12:16am
From:
stingy d
learning that you got it in northampton makes me happier too. i like that place, somehow i'm not surprised they had a freez record for a dollar.
Wed. 4/29/09 12:16am
From:
john
Got your dollar's worth now! Or maybe you can make it the new bed music?
Wed. 4/29/09 12:31am
From:
efd
John, even I couldn't take that being my bed music!
Greg - was never at 'BCN, although a good friend of mine from high school was MD there for a few years in the late 70s - I think he was in NYC by 1980 (as was I), but he was a big influence on my musical taste, so not surprising that there are similarities there.
Pretty sure that 70s-sounding song you're asking about was Gary Private...? Maybe? You can go back and check the archive tomorrow.

so far i'm all about this howlies track, the rework track, cybotron, and the fact that you made the funny joke of playing an aceyalone track.

my roommate slapped a sole cd out of sole's hand one time. which is hilarious because that guy is a certified douche (not my roommate).

Aw man Stingy don't ruin Sole for me like that.
I just hope OC sees a little bit of green from that release.

Thanks, efd. Everyone was doing it. I just stated the obvious.

sorry joe. but at least time's up is one of the most sampled and cut up records in hip hop history... so.... i hope everyone gives o.c. a piece of the pie.
and listen davies.... i'm just much too much when it comes to rap, nobody ever makes me happy. so just gloss over any worthless diatribe's i got when it comes to that. i'm impossible. my apologies! great show as always, i'm a big fan!
Wed. 4/29/09 1:24am

hi Danne! almost missed you in all the excitement.
Stingy, no worries - I wasn't taking it personally.

Oh late night WFMU comments, given the chance, how many of you would I destroy?
A: MOST
Wed. 4/29/09 1:26am
From:
Amanda
Stingy, you're such a class act. E.L., you are blowing my mind AGAIN. Let me take a minute to acknowledge how much love is in this room. May I? I hope it's all right to do so. (acknowledging)
Wed. 4/29/09 1:31am

Danne D
No problem EFD, still a little zombiefied myself trying to recover from the Devils debacle tonight! :(

ewwwww love is yicky.
Wed. 4/29/09 1:36am
From:

I used to think so too. Even Danne D was a curmudgeon before the EFD show turned him around.
Wed. 4/29/09 1:37am
From:
Aharon (aka Babybunting)
EFD, et al.: need you ask where I would be at 1:34 on a Wednesday morning? Now, the smart thing to do would be to lay low on the query, but I didn't end up going to the Jeremy Jay show last week. Was convinced--and, to be sure-, excited--to go see Quintron instead. But after that rousing song a bit back, I am dead set on the Thermals in about 2 weeks. Promises, promises...
Wed. 4/29/09 1:37am
From:
Joe
Love is all you need. Love and the Easybeats.
Also food.
Wed. 4/29/09 1:40am
From:
efd
thanks for the update, Aharon. I've seen the Thermals before, and can assure you that that will definitely be a rock show.
Wed. 4/29/09 1:40am
From:
E.L.
Aharon, I would punch a duck to see the Thermals at this point.
Wed. 4/29/09 1:41am

Is that how you do it?
And here I am, buying tickets like some kind of sucker!
Wed. 4/29/09 1:41am

how ya doing and hello to all you other fine folks (didn't mean to slight you guys)

Joe, buying tickets *is* the preferred method.

EFD--thank you for the reco/confo. BTW, I wish someone had told me about Bright Eyes before I saw him (in maybe 2000, but still).
EL: I will be contacting the DADL about this.
There are actually still tickets for the 5/9 and 5/11 Thermals shows available (W'burg show is prob better venue). I will leave nothing to chance. Or larceny. Or duck abuse.

That's a good cartoon. I still like the one with the two snails where one says, " I don't care if she is a tape dispenser— I love her."

From:

See, now I'm thinking of the guy who gets mad at his pet snail and kicks him out the door. One year later, there's a knock at the door and when the man opens, the snail is standing there: "Hey man, what the fuck was that about?"
Wed. 4/29/09 1:59am
From:
Joe
This song might inspire some odd dreams later.
Good show, though, thanks.

Wed. 4/29/09 2:06am

See?! Amanda, I am LOLing at that even though of course I am already quite familiar with that joke.
Maybe next week will be Snail Joke week on the comments.
Wed. 4/29/09 10:30am
From:
herb
it's 10:27am & JEREMY JAY is singing, via the archvies. yep, that's the best song on rec, and i told j.j. that WNYU played it & i thought "GO-BETWEENS?". he smiled, and said "yeah, i love their first 2 singles" and he helped me out with a "lee remick" lyric. v.g. show, at union hall. nice basic pop.
Wed. 4/29/09 11:45am
From:
Amanda
And *I* am still LOLing over much of this show, its snail jokes and other aspects (please note that it's now noon). Keeping me awake is going to be a challenge now, tho' last night it sure wasn't!
