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.

quien le pone el cascabel al gato = who put the bell on the cat, or something like that.
Clueless on "vainica" though
Wed. 6/10/09 12:16am
From:
m@bcn
vainica doble refers to a stitching style, as in some of her record covers.

From:
Sybil
correction: "puts", not "put". Or maybe "Who will bell the cat"?
"Vainica doble" apparently means "double hemstitch". Live and learn.

well evan i gotta skip outta here,, again it's soo great to have you back, don't worry we'll pay you back for the vase,,,see ya next week g'nite!! =)=) ty

I hope you don't expect us to translate "chown thur ten rum". Although, now I'm curious...

You mean "Funky Town" in Thai or whatever that one was? Chown Tur Ten Rum = Ask You For Dance, I'm told
Wed. 6/10/09 12:33am
From:
Jessica
Golly.
You had me all hopped up for Evans In... the News!
Digging your new finds. You must have had such a blast! Did you feel like you were carrying the weight of so many vicariously vacationing listener's on your shoulders? That was me standing on 'em during the Jesus Lizard's set.
We're all very impressed with your "chown thur ten rum" find, I tell you what/
Now: Keane Bros? I came running from doing things I shouldn't with power tools while injured and not quite reconciled with viscera generally to yap about Leif Garrett. Thank gawd I checked first, for contextual clues. (¡Happy Birthday, Sherry referent!) And whoa: That wasn't Leif Garrett? was it his producer?

thanks G, I was thinking that "mejors" didn't look quite right.
Hi Jessica! and, uh.. hi! Not sure if there's a Keane Bros/Leif G. connection, other than the pages of TIger Beat and 16 of course.

I have the 45 of this Records' song! (and the albm)
Wed. 6/10/09 12:49am
From:
efd
Hi DD! I could have used the 45 just now with the way the songs flow right into each other on the LP.
MIchael, when I saw your post about Bob Log III after I cued up the Records song I had a hunch you'd enjoy that.
Wed. 6/10/09 12:49am

John and Paul playing together this weekend? Is that in NY? I know both of those guys.

Paul has had Deaconlight as his No. 1 friend on MySpace: http://myspace.com/paulcollins for years.
Wed. 6/10/09 12:53am
From:

Well you should follow this song with some Little Diesel - that would be a good segue.
Wed. 6/10/09 12:54am
From:

Evan - will you be hosting those guest artists?
Wed. 6/10/09 12:58am
From:
Deaconlight
Wow - I just checked my e-mail and got a message from Paul Collins. Lattice of co-incidence!!!
Wed. 6/10/09 1:00am
From:
deaconlight
Wow this is awesome. I would have never known about Paul and John if not for Evan. Dude, you so rock!!!
I love summer so I don't have to get up and take the kids to school in the morning!!

has anyone been to the record collector store?? this is my first time hearing about it!
Wed. 6/10/09 1:03am
From:
Deaconlight
Paul just sent me this link about him and John. Serious lattice of co-incidence. http://www.magnetmagazine.com/2009/06/09/live-review-john-wicks-and-paul-collins-campbell-ca-june-6-2009/
Wed. 6/10/09 1:08am
From:
efd
very cool, DD! Thanks for the link.
Clavender, I haven't been there myself, but they seem to have live bands there fairly often. I'd check it out if I weren't going to see the Red Sox and Phillies in Philadelphia that night.
Wed. 6/10/09 1:10am
From:
Deaconlight
Evan - I was just reading that article - John is talking about The Records' former manager and he says: “He thought we were off the boil, so he was busy with his new signing, the Yachts,”
Maybe you should share this with our pal Tim Sommer!
Wed. 6/10/09 1:25am
From:
Deaconlight
You know Paul used to live in Spain.
Wed. 6/10/09 1:27am
From:
efd
I did not know that!
Funny story about Records/Yachts - that would only make Tim mad.
Wed. 6/10/09 1:31am
From:
Deaconlight
Yeah, Paul has lived in Madrid for years, He only recently moved back to NYC.
By the way, your show ROCKS!
Wed. 6/10/09 1:36am
From:
Deaconlight
I played this song awhile back on Deaconlight. It was requested by Marko, a guy who works with Get Hip - a US distributor of Paul Collins' records. In fact, Marko rang me up from Cleveland and put Paul on the line.I'm serious! I think it ws Tommy James' birthday when Marko made that request.

Tim Sommer, as in before he became weird, he was in the great band, Hugo Largo? Like, let's hear some tonight maybe?
Wed. 6/10/09 1:39am
From:
Deaconlight
dang is every song he writes for JKS?
Wed. 6/10/09 1:45am
From:

and to think Peter and Chris did some of their first radio interviews on Deaconlight.- http://dcnlyt.com/dbs
Wed. 6/10/09 1:53am
From:
efd
June, that is the Tim Sommer in question - but I have to admit that for me, Hugo Largo was kind of when he "became weird" (musically speaking, that is).
