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.

Cecile:
This is a great tune. Good to finally tune in live.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:13pm
efd:
whoa, it's famous daytime commenter Cecile! Hi Cecile!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:13pm
Cecile:
Yeah, it's me. Taking a trip over to the dark side. ;D
Tue. 5/12/09 11:14pm
Cecile:
diggin it!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:16pm
Joe:
Hey Cecile! Welcome to hell.
EFD I am very much liking the way this show is going.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:20pm
Cecile:
Oh, you are kidding me with this song.
I haven't heard this since the 8-track that we played at Big Boy in 1979.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:21pm
Cecile:
And it was awesome until I cleaned one too many chicken fryers to it. I also can't listen to Blue Jay Way or Can't Get you OUt of my Head without twitching either.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:23pm
Your Old 8 Track:
I am now 79 feet under the surface of a landfill.
But I was utterly, gloriously cool at the time.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:24pm
Cecile:
You brought me many happy hours, 8 track.
Love the Sloan
Tue. 5/12/09 11:25pm
E.L.:
I showed up just in time for SLOAN! YAY!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:25pm
dave:
i challenge any thinking human being to not sing along at the top of their lungs with 'who taught you to live like that'.
g'wan.
just TRY.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:26pm
rachel jensen:

Tue. 5/12/09 11:27pm
efd:
dave, I'm not up to that challenge.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:27pm
Cecile:
I am not wagering against you, dave.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:28pm
Joe:
Ah! It's that time of year, is it?
Guess I'll be making myself a sandich.
God this song makes me hungry.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:28pm
Matt:
HOAGIEFEST IS BACK!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:28pm
Laurie:

Turkey So Fine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Five Five Dollar Five Dollar Footlong
Tue. 5/12/09 11:33pm
Amanda:
Aw man, speaking of "that time of year," I missed E.L.'s birthday, right? It was yesterday?
Tue. 5/12/09 11:36pm
E.L.:
Nope. It's happening now!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:40pm
rachel jensen:
evan-- my birthday will be two months from 2nite,,,in other news toni daytona won't be back for a while she's taking care of brad,,,,
Tue. 5/12/09 11:42pm
Tom:
Trying to log in. Big fan of Cassie St. Onge is she on tonight?
Tue. 5/12/09 11:44pm
E.L.:
rachel— I marked my iCal.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:44pm
Amanda:
Yaaaay HB, E.L.! Tinted Windows could be for you considering your Hanson affiliations.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:45pm
Cecile:
you know, there were 2-3 tracks on James Iha's solo rec that were good
Tue. 5/12/09 11:47pm
efd:
is that Tom G.? I think you may have confused Caissie's re-tweet of my tweet! She is not actually here.
Hi Rachel, thanks for the Toni D update.
Happy Birthday E.L.!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:47pm
Joe:
I refuse to believe that.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:51pm
Cecile:
I hearded them. They were pretty good. Considering I didn't like Smashing Piumpkins that much. But is there anything that Adam Schlesinger doesn't do well? I gotta check out that record.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:51pm
E.L.:
My (our) grudge with Hanson is over. It's funny hearing Bun E. Carlos and Robert Pollard back to back. They shared a ticket to one of the best shows I've ever seen. The Big Dipper/Boston Spaceships show would be in contention as well. This Thermals song K's the A. Thanks Amanda and EFD!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:53pm
Tom:
Different Tom. Thanks. Tried to listen. Your website wouldn't let me!
Tue. 5/12/09 11:54pm
Cecile:
I remember that tour! It was pretty damn great.
Tue. 5/12/09 11:57pm
rachel jensen:

brass monkey:

Wed. 5/13/09 12:16am
brass monkey:
i like this track i hope it never ends.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:19am
E.L.:
You know the Midnight Ticket Oasis is a smash when Evan has trouble keeping up with the playlist.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:22am
efd:
you got that right, E.L. I'd have thought a 9-minute song would have been enough! I could have used a few more minutes myself, brass monkey.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:23am
Joe:
It takes alot to throw the man off his game.
Davies, if you keep playing this Sole album, I'm gonna have to go out and buy it. Or make like Stingy D and smack it into my possession.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:24am
brass monkey_01:
i want to use that for my power point demo. I think it would really tie the slide presentation format together and really nail it for me
Wed. 5/13/09 12:27am
E.L.:
Is this Bob Log III related?
Wed. 5/13/09 12:27am
rachel jensen:
i'm back just to wish evan a DELIGHTFUL upcomming vacation!!!!!!
Wed. 5/13/09 12:29am
efd:
thanks Rachel! It's still a couple of weeks off.
E.L., good question - I don't know offhand.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:33am
brass monkey:
no one can eat fifty egg
Wed. 5/13/09 12:34am
E.L.:
Ah! Found their myspace page— and no. they're from Australia apparently.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:36am
rachel j.:
efd i'll give toni d. your regards,,,nite nite.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:42am
Amanda:
That was so cute, the Radio City jam. Kind of Joe Jackson-y...? Nick Lowe-y? Name other things I enjoy, it reminds me of them.
Wed. 5/13/09 12:47am
Joe:
Puppies!
Wed. 5/13/09 12:49am
Amanda:
Aw! Red haired boys?
Wed. 5/13/09 12:49am
E.L.:
Ha ha! And eating nice meals? Or was that rejected?
Wed. 5/13/09 12:57am
Amanda:
Nope, that was in there. And one of the remaining things I like (in the very small list), of course, is this very radio show.
Wed. 5/13/09 1:03am
Michael from the Left Coast:
Hey EFD--Big ups for playing my old friend Kid Congo! I'm behind on the stream (I'm still in the talk break before it, but I can see it in the player).

Michael from the Left Coast:
Even better then
Wed. 5/13/09 1:33am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Wed. 5/13/09 1:35am
efd:
Michael, agreed!
Wed. 5/13/09 1:48am
