Tue. 7/28/09 11:06pm bob:

Tue. 7/28/09 11:06pm someone who heard the end of the last show:

Tue. 7/28/09 11:07pm catywampus:

Tue. 7/28/09 11:07pm DBinNYC:

Tue. 7/28/09 11:07pm G:

i guess this is ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:09pm randy in NC:

efd, Speaking of ROCK, Spinal Tap was on Jimmy Fallon last night, did you see them?

Tue. 7/28/09 11:13pm bob:

spinal taps song was gnarly

Tue. 7/28/09 11:15pm randy in NC:

The bass player tried to quit of course...

Tue. 7/28/09 11:16pm Sybil:

Is this where ROCK lives?

Tue. 7/28/09 11:16pm Joe:

This song is so good I'm now angry for not pledging enough to receive this premium.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:17pm WNEW-FM:

Yeah, and I'm where ROCK died...

Tue. 7/28/09 11:17pm Colin Wilson:

Playing some 'Tom: A best show tribute to ram" epic!! I approve

Tue. 7/28/09 11:18pm Joe:

I know where ROCK lives! I sent him a letter, but he didn't answer... so I went to ROCK's house, but he wasn't home, so I called ROCK's cell phone number, and left him a voicemail... and then I ran into ROCK later at the store, and I was like Yo, ROCK, whats the deal, man? And he was like, dude, you gotta chill. And I was all like, whatever.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:18pm New York 104.3:

I'm where ROCK was embalmed and kept on a slab.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:20pm efd:

hi everyone! keep the comments coming, i am in my usual start-of-show tizzy...

Tue. 7/28/09 11:20pm Michael from the Left Coast:

Cool-the second best Don Dixon song ever (first would be February Ingenue).!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:21pm randy in NC:

The girls will be dancing this weekend...

Tue. 7/28/09 11:21pm WPIX:

I'm where ROCK was tied up, taken away, and held for ransom, only when they finally showed up with the ransom, I'd fallen asleep....

Tue. 7/28/09 11:22pm Michael from the Left Coast:

thirty years later--I still miss you WPIX

Tue. 7/28/09 11:24pm randy in NC:

Me too. WPIX was good for about a year or so back then (The PIX Penthouse Party!)

Tue. 7/28/09 11:25pm efd:

me three! there's a guy who's been in touch with me off and on over the past few years who's working on a book about WPIX - in fact, he sent me a message a couple of weeks ago that I need to reply to. Will, if you're out there, my apologies!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:25pm Sybil:

And oh, what a year it was!

And a moment of silence, please, for Rock's In Your Head...

OK, a moment of ROCK. Whatever.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:26pm bob:

got any cannibal corpse?

Tue. 7/28/09 11:28pm Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--did you work at PIX?

Tue. 7/28/09 11:28pm randy in NC:

re. PIX, I'd still like to hear Jacques Costeau sometime

Tue. 7/28/09 11:29pm efd:

nope, just a regular listener.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:32pm the final countdown:

best/worst cover version ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjeMDvCdrtc

Tue. 7/28/09 11:33pm Laurie:

Is that a HOAGIEFEST ringtone?

Tue. 7/28/09 11:33pm ?:

hoagiefest ringtones!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:35pm G:

Sounds like a reply of that 11-10 Baltimore come from behind game against Boston I was at around July 1st, another Papelbon choke... Not good, their gag reflex is getting a little too comfortable...

Tue. 7/28/09 11:35pm G:

replay, blech

Tue. 7/28/09 11:37pm Lang:

That TOM comp. was truly, truly mind blowing. I almost cried. I actually did cry.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:39pm Lang:

YES!!! REIGNING SOUND!!! EFD ! YOU ARE KILLING IT TONIGHT!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:43pm The Troggs:

Blimey, That Ain't Us!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:44pm efd:

another one for the "songs that have the same title as another song but aren't that song" theme show,

Tue. 7/28/09 11:45pm anemone:

Crushed Butler sounds like Jesse Hector.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:45pm efd:

thanks Lang and all for your comments! and yes, that *was* a hoagiefest ringtone. what of it?!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:45pm Sybil:

You're keeping a list, efd, I hope?

Tue. 7/28/09 11:45pm efd:

anemone, sharp ears - he was the singer!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:46pm efd:

Sybil, I thought *you* were keeping the list!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:47pm anemone:

wow! i'd never heard of them . will start by googling them i suppose.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:48pm Laurie:

I was listening to Love Is All the other day, and I realized who the lead signer of Love Is All sounds like. Kristen Wiig doing Björk.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:50pm Amanda:

OK, very cute with Love is All/Love Is All Around Me. I will wait to hear "Love Is All Around," the Mary Tyler Moore theme.

Tue. 7/28/09 11:51pm Love:

how the heck did I ever get to be "around"?

Tue. 7/28/09 11:54pm Laurie:

Oh, I can put this song on a mixtape next to "Patrick Swayze Christmas"

Tue. 7/28/09 11:54pm Michael from the Left Coast:

Why it's Art Brut/The Fall meets the Stranglers!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:56pm DBinNYC:

The origin of Reveen and Patrick Swayze...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Niq9jWIsHY8

Tue. 7/28/09 11:56pm efd:

[puts away the art brut cd he was about to cue up]

Tue. 7/28/09 11:59pm Michael from the Left Coast:

No no play more Art Brut--that's not a bad thing!

Tue. 7/28/09 11:59pm anemone:

no efd! i want to hear that art brut song about chocolate milk!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:01am Laurie:

I've seen the drummer for the Hex Dispensers naked.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:02am Sybil:

Laurie, I've been waiting all my life for someone to say that.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:02am Joe:

Seconded on the chocolate milk song.

Aw now I'm thirsty.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:04am Amanda:

So, wait, are we going to hear The Fall or not?

Be it known that that Cosmos song was pretty.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:05am Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD & all-- did you see that clip from the old British TV show the Tube on Youtube--"A night out in New York" from 1983? They go to Danceteria, the Roxy and the Paradise Garage

Wed. 7/29/09 12:06am efd:

i'll play Art Brut in a bit - I was already thinking it was too obvious a mix, so that's why I changed my mind so readily. Maybe the Fall, too, but people seem to want the chocolate.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:08am DBinNYC:

Quick question when you have a sec - whats the bed track you use when speaking?

Wed. 7/29/09 12:10am coalhard:

ޑޔ ރއޑ

Wed. 7/29/09 12:10am G:

Lordz of Brooklyn sampling Guess Who "American Woman" guitar solo bits...

Wed. 7/29/09 12:13am coalhard:

i said" eat me" earlier--kidding!!-playing with character map

Wed. 7/29/09 12:18am Joe:

G forgot to mention the song title is "Saturday Night Fever"

here is a youtube video of the song, as featured on Beavis and Butthead. (with commentary)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFwUrx44_gs

Wed. 7/29/09 12:23am Jericho:

What's the title of this song?

Wed. 7/29/09 12:24am coalhard:

i listen to every college station in the world--including iraq--the only competition tonite is a station in calif--kdvs--but you are beating them

Wed. 7/29/09 12:26am Amanda:

Too few college stations play any of My Aim is True.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:27am john:

Belated "hey evan!"...time difference getting in the way tonight, as is the hotel's wifi...cool-looking playlist, though!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:28am efd:

Jericho, I think the song you were asking about was " a call to arms" by black ice.
coalhard, KDVS is the alma mater of our own Liz Berg, so that's high praise!
Joe and G, thanks for the bed music assist!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:28am coalhard:

there is a neat radio station in north korea ksdt--which by the way a station in san diego called ksdt

Wed. 7/29/09 12:29am randy in NC:

FMU isn't a college station (hasn't been for a while).

Wed. 7/29/09 12:29am efd:

hey John!
Michael, if you're still out there this is kind of a belated fullfillment of a request of yours from a few weeks ago.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:30am john:

Perfect timing, though, it all kicks in just in time for the Brothers Johnson...stomp!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:31am Sybil:

You will never guess who is pitching for the Dodgers right now... OMG

Wed. 7/29/09 12:32am efd:

yo-yo??

I bet John could guess... or just turn on his tv.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:33am Michael from the Left Coast:

Damn, I stepped out for a few minutes (had to deliver mail to my rock star neighbor who's just back from tour)

Wed. 7/29/09 12:34am ?:

>> FMU isn't a college station (hasn't been for a while).

I thought this was a high school radio station?

Wed. 7/29/09 12:34am Sybil:

Nope, the Nats DFA'd yoy-yo. I'm disconsolate.

It was Mark Loretta!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:34am john:

I was going to have to guess because I can't figure out the $%#@$ing TV here. Did get to the game Sunday, though--beautiful day for the Doggers to get blown out!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:36am Sybil:

The Dodgers are down 10-0 (though they've outhit the Cards) in the bottom of the 8th, brought out Loretta for the last out. He did good.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:38am Michael from the Left Coast:

Hey EFD--how're your drums?

Wed. 7/29/09 12:39am Sybil:

And that's it for the Dodgers.

Time for chocolate milk!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:39am Naomi:

Are you coming to Chicago? If not, I need a special song.
your choice. i'm missing my old friends really bad.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:39am G:

totally brut-al!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:40am Laurie:

EFD, get outta there! That rumbling isn't from a garbage chuck, it's Murder Ape fucking shit up in the record library.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:40am Laurie:

And if I listen very closely, I can hear chocolate milkshake, but it still mostly sounds like John Belushi to me.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:41am Art Brut:

DC Comix and a Murder Ape

Wed. 7/29/09 12:41am randy in NC:

efd- Make sure you avoid DC at rush hour!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:42am AP Mike:

I thought it was Evan.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:43am Michael from the Left Coast:

Virginia at Rush Hour is no picnic either

Wed. 7/29/09 12:43am milt:

i guess this is a popular song to cover

Wed. 7/29/09 12:44am coalhard:

rapid chat is hurting my brain--which is soaking in a vat of beer---im seeing a lot of bubbles!!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:46am dogboy:

any chance of some ramones .....

Wed. 7/29/09 12:47am efd:

NAOMI!!! No Chicago, Chapel Hill only, Wish you could be there!
Randy, I think I'll graze the beginning of DC rush hour, unfortunately, but there's no avoiding it I'm afraid.
Michael, drums are sounding good! Here are some pics so everyone can admire them! ;) http://tinyurl.com/efddrums

Wed. 7/29/09 12:48am Michael from the Left Coast:

Were the drums a Craigslist purchase?

Wed. 7/29/09 12:49am dogboy:

fuck the drums ,,,,play some ramones

Wed. 7/29/09 12:50am efd:

not the most effective requesting technique, dogboy.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:52am dogboy:

alright im sorry....pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

Wed. 7/29/09 12:52am Craigslist:

FYI, despite rumors to the contrary drums cannot be listed under Erotic Services

Wed. 7/29/09 12:52am naomi:

Is it a Cosmopolitains reunion? we need to catch up. maybe a different method. yes, kids, i knew the dj when he used to play the drums. in the cosmopolitains.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:54am efd:

ack! We shall speak no more about this in this venue! Different method plz!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:55am Danne D:

Never good to say "fuck the drums" to a drummer (especially one as skilled at the craft as efd).

Evening friends. Evan, thanks for affording me the chance to sing Costello in my car without digging through my CD collection :) (Elvis is about one of 4 acts that fall in my limited vocal range)

Busy message board with the usual collection of quality posters - greetings all!

And EFD, alas I almost had the prize of first for but 1 night but I seemed to never (even temporarily) catch the Goober man.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:55am tee hee:

ut oh!

Wed. 7/29/09 12:55am Laurie:

I think Nick Andopolis might have tried fucking his drums once or twice.

Wed. 7/29/09 12:56am Danne D:

(was typing my drum reference coincidental to the other post EFD - sorry about continuing that line of thought)

Wed. 7/29/09 12:57am john:

Is that the real reason Nick's dad took them away?

Wed. 7/29/09 12:57am random comments quotient:

increasing, increasing! danger, will robinson!

Wed. 7/29/09 1:00am john:

Anyone remember The Leyton Buzzards? That's who Art Brut reminds me of. I Don't Want To Go To Art School! No Dry Ice Or Flying Pigs! Have I already said that?

Wed. 7/29/09 1:02am schoolmarm:

you people behave, or i am calling the principal down here

Wed. 7/29/09 1:02am Sybil:

I don't know if you've said it before, John, but it was a welcome note of sanity right at that particular moment.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:02am Laurie:

I love the Lucksmiths so much.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:03am dogboy:

pleasee play some ramones from the 80s

Wed. 7/29/09 1:03am efd:

alright everyone, let's take a deep breath and try to stay somewhat focused on the music.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:04am Danne D:

yes sir!

Wed. 7/29/09 1:04am coalhard:

i'm good

Wed. 7/29/09 1:05am G:

sanity, it has its advantages on occasion ...

Wed. 7/29/09 1:05am Sybil:

And, What Laurie said.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:06am dogboy:

its been 30 years since highway to hell came out ...damn it make me fell old ...i remember havin it on 8track!!!

Wed. 7/29/09 1:06am 8 track:

i used to be somebody. i coulda been a contender.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:07am efd:

dogboy, honestly the main reason i'm hesitating on the ramones is that i feel like i just played them pretty recently. and 80s ramones, at that.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:07am dogboy:

aghhhhhhhh screw it i put on a ramones cd here ....

Wed. 7/29/09 1:07am Danne D:

I remember the Quad Preacher at the U of Illinois beltin' out Highway to Hell as he tried to "save" us.

Enjoying this set Evan :)

Wed. 7/29/09 1:12am coalhard:

thanks for inde --fiery furnaces song --my fav genre

Wed. 7/29/09 1:12am efd:

Wed. 7/29/09 1:17am smokey robinson:

Wed. 7/29/09 1:18am Sybil:

The visual indeed... I literally fell out of my seat laughing.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:18am Danne D:

Damn, Evan!
Fantastic~!

Wed. 7/29/09 1:19am coalhard:

Wed. 7/29/09 1:22am coalhard:

not me--DR PHIL

Wed. 7/29/09 1:24am Laurie:

Get it right, he's a comic book character. Eddie Argos would look down on your, DJ Funktual.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:25am Laurie:

Are you sure you're not DJ Funktual? You both love your kitties and funky Scottish music.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:26am Michael from the Left Coast:

Re Lucksmiths--you are correct sir

Wed. 7/29/09 1:26am dogboy:

this music sucks shit......play something good christ

Wed. 7/29/09 1:26am Spellcheck McSpellchecky:

There's an "o" in Silver Surfer?

Wed. 7/29/09 1:26am Danne D:

The concept of Evan having a superhero alter-ego is very appealing and makes intuitive sense.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:27am efd:

dogboy, I thought you were listening to the Ramones.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:27am Laurie:

Wed. 7/29/09 1:29am Danne D:

:( I agree Laurie :(

Wed. 7/29/09 1:32am Michael from the Left Coast:

doesn't hold a candle to the original
although nicely reinvented as a two part male female conversation

Wed. 7/29/09 1:32am Danne D:

Susanna Hoffs *sigh*

Wed. 7/29/09 1:35am Laurie:

I somehow knew some Tinted Windows was coming.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:35am efd:

Michael, agreed.
And Danne, also agreed!

Wed. 7/29/09 1:37am Danne D:

um, holy crap Susanna Hoffs is 50(!)

Wed. 7/29/09 1:39am Sybil:

She's just entering her prime, Danne.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:40am Michael from the Left Coast:

Yes Danne and she looks as good as ever (saw her recently)

Wed. 7/29/09 1:40am ?:

miss kitty kat singing!!

Wed. 7/29/09 1:40am ?:

sorry--thinking of quintron

Wed. 7/29/09 1:41am Danne D:

semi stalkerish sites with like way too many paintings of susanna hoffs: http://www.susannahoffs.co.uk/

(freudian slip - almost put pantings instead of paintings)

Wed. 7/29/09 1:42am coalhard:

liked pantings better

Wed. 7/29/09 1:43am Laurie:

I saw Quintron recently. I didn't know Mr. Quintron was a crossdresser. You go, girl.

Wed. 7/29/09 1:44am Sybil:

Wed. 7/29/09 1:48am remote diagnosis:

Wed. 7/29/09 1:50am coalhard:

Wed. 7/29/09 1:50am Danne D:
