Tue. 10/20/09 11:16pm From: AZ

Lake--I'd forgotten they even existed! They were LA cut-out bin staples. (Always loved that CBB 45.)

Tue. 10/20/09 11:16pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

The Climax Blues Band sure got played a lot in the late 70s. Them and The Steve Miller Band.

Tue. 10/20/09 11:18pm From: Bob Ham

Excited to hear the gems you pull out for this show, EFD. And excited to be on the West Coast so I don't have to stay up until 2am to hear the whole thing!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:19pm From: john

In point of fact, my folks had a Granada, not the otherwise mandatory-in-Connecticut Country Squire. Metallic brown. AM radio only for a prog-free driving experience.

Tue. 10/20/09 11:20pm From: efd

hi everyone, appreciate all the comments - not sure how much i'll be able to contribute but i'll definitely be reading 'em!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:21pm From: wonder woman

ALL HAIL EVAN!!!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:24pm From: toni daytona

Tue. 10/20/09 11:26pm From: Joe

It's a madhouse!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:29pm From: camel

this camel's been sent to bed early!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:30pm From: AZ

The LATE Bill Nelson? Did I miss something? I think he's alive & well! (I love, love, love this song, BTW)

Tue. 10/20/09 11:30pm From: G

efd's busy hosing down the other studio

Tue. 10/20/09 11:31pm From: efd

either that or the camel's pulling an all-nighter.

Tue. 10/20/09 11:33pm From: efd

ack! i'm sorry, Bill Nelson is alive and well. Who was I thinking of?! sorry about that Bill & his fans!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:33pm From: john

[Insert expected laudatory Be-Bop Deluxe comment here]

Tue. 10/20/09 11:34pm From: W

Rick Nelson, maybe. Or Ozzie.

Tue. 10/20/09 11:36pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

Unfortunately, Ian Dury is no longer with us.

Tue. 10/20/09 11:39pm From: efd

i was thinking of his *brother* - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Nelson_(musician)

Tue. 10/20/09 11:40pm From: AZ

I think Charlie Tumahai, the bass player from BBD, is also deceased.

Tue. 10/20/09 11:41pm From: toni daytona

efd got any sweet tonite,,,it;s always exciting hearin your show every tues nite!!!!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:43pm From: Danne D

Hiya Funk Friends :)
Great show Evan.
This is always such a sad weekend for me as it is almost 100% guaranteed that I cannot make the record fair as it is always way too close to election day and I'm busy with work :( :(

Anyhow as expected on singles night all the Sweet girls flock toward EFD :)

Tue. 10/20/09 11:45pm From: AZ

New Musik! Why was this never a hit?

Tue. 10/20/09 11:48pm From: toni daytona

evan are you goin to any halloween parties? and will you be dressin up?

Tue. 10/20/09 11:49pm From: efd

no halloween parties Toni, and I didn't bring any Sweet singles either I'm afraid. But i think there are enough other 70s hits here to keep you happy!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:49pm From: AZ

Wait-----what?! There was a Roxy-era Eddie Jobson single? How is it possible that I never knew this? Awesome!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:50pm From: efd

AZ, that's pretty much what one of the guys behind the counter at Princeton Record Exchange said when I bought this a few weeks ago!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:50pm From: Danne D

Evan's gonna dress up as a member of the Red Sox :D

Btw, your show is the perfect complement to meteor watching - which I hope to do shortly even though there's a ton of bright light around here!

Tue. 10/20/09 11:55pm From: toni d.

evan-- this disco diva is always diggin what you play,,,get down & keep on groooooooovin evan=)=)

Tue. 10/20/09 11:56pm From: AZ

I will now have to spend the rest of my life tracking the Jobson 45 down. It's good to have a goal.

Tue. 10/20/09 11:56pm From: toni daaytona

I'M the sunshine of evan's love

Tue. 10/20/09 11:58pm From: efd

AZ, if you like that you'll probably also enjoy Andy Mackay's take on "Ride of the Valkyries," coming up later on.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:00am From: Paolo

Hey Evan, you going to be at the Record Convention this week-end? I'm coming down to New York from Montreal to check it out. I hope it lives up to the hype (though I'm sure it does). If you can't make it, do you recommend any sellers in particular?

Wed. 10/21/09 12:00am From: W

Where's the loop that you normally talk over? Did you retire it?

Wed. 10/21/09 12:01am From: efd

just for tonight - all talkover music tonight is also singles from the seventies!

Wed. 10/21/09 12:01am From: G

it went to bed early with the camel.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:02am From: Danne D

Now time for the Midnight Ticket...Mirage.

They can't all be Oases folks :)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:04am From: AZ

I know the Mackay record. It's swell! (20 minutes ago, I would have told you I had ALL the Roxy spin-off records...)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:04am From: Danne D

Paolo - frankly you should try to get a look at every stand possible. There is just a freakish amount of goodness at the record fair! Think of just about any record you'd want to find - there's a huge chance someone will have it :)

Woohoo Slapshot!

Wed. 10/21/09 12:05am From: Danne D

Therese and Mike put on a great show tonight :)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:05am From: W

Handclaps! Excellent.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:05am From: Hatch

This Maxine Nightingale tune is really hitting the spot right now.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:05am From: A

Am I going nuts, or was that Mick Jagger singing with Frampton? I mean, it's cool either way: nuts or Mick.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:07am From: Lang

My Mom and I would dance to this Maxine Nightingale when I was but a wee Lang

Wed. 10/21/09 12:08am From: efd

paolo, can't type out recs right now but email me and i'll suggest some highlights (evan at wfmu dot org)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:08am From: Lang

You're killing it EFD

Wed. 10/21/09 12:09am From: Derek in DC

Maxine Nightingale! Suddenly I'm in the 5th grade at Jenny G's birthday party playing spin-the-bottle.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:10am From: Michael from the Left Coast

hey gang--nice playlist Evan (I just walked in)
When I saw the Buzzcocks about two years ago this was the only one of the songs that you'd want them to do that they didn't do (they did literally all the rest).

Wed. 10/21/09 12:10am From: W

This mix sounds different/better than Singles Going Steady

Wed. 10/21/09 12:10am From: toni daytona

evan i'd love to stay and comment all nite but un fortunatley this is my last post and gotta skip out,,,ohh evan you feel like ditchin the record this saturday nite early to go to a halloween party with me??? g'nite=)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:12am From: toni d.

*fair

Wed. 10/21/09 12:14am From: camel

jeez, just come to bed, toni!

Wed. 10/21/09 12:20am From: Michael from the Left Coast

EFD--No Au Pairs?

Wed. 10/21/09 12:22am From: dustin

i love the fingerprintz

Wed. 10/21/09 12:23am From: Michael from the Left Coast

How about Sham 69--If the Kids are United

Wed. 10/21/09 12:23am From: AZ

Fingerprintz! I can't think of another band from this era with three good albums that has NEVER had anything on CD.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:25am From: dustin

AZ: true.. there one of those bands that whenever i put it on people love it and i tell them who it is and no one knows them.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:25am From: efd

Michael, I have Hurry Up Harry - will that do? I think none of my Au Pairs singles were from the 70s

Wed. 10/21/09 12:25am From: Danne D

:)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:25am From: dustin

including me, before hearing them on this show

Wed. 10/21/09 12:28am From: Michael from the Left Coast

Hurry Up Harry is always welcome on any playlist

Wed. 10/21/09 12:28am From: kamper

I have a distinct memory of Captain and Tenille doing Rubber Band Man on their variety show from this era. The captain was plucking on this oversized rubber band.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:28am From: Michael from the Left Coast

Yeah--American Squirm!
Sounds great!

Wed. 10/21/09 12:28am From: Danne D

basically I'm speechless I'm so happy listening to this show and here Nick Lowe appears and it's just getting better and better :)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:28am From: efd

funny you should mention Captain and Tenille...!

Wed. 10/21/09 12:29am From: W

Yes! Nick Lowe and his Sound

Wed. 10/21/09 12:30am From: Danne D

no way efd!!!!
C&T are one of those things that seems so obscure now but who were really big at the time. Kinda like the Flip Wilson Show. I was but a child but I have some great 70s memories :)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:31am From: toni d.

evan you don't wanna go to a groovy halloween party with me??=(

Wed. 10/21/09 12:32am From: kamper

I'm psykick!
I think at the time I thought it was their song.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:33am From: efd

toni d, don't be so needy. It's unbecoming.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:34am From: Danne D

If he goes to yours Toni, then he has to go to like everybody else's too and there's only so much EFD to spread around.

For my part, I don't think I've worn a halloween costume in like 25 years!

I was the Fonz for Halloween in the 1st grade.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:35am From: Hatch

You're making me regret not buying this Meco 7" when I saw it in a thrift show a few weeks ago.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:36am From: Danne D

My mom always called this song a rip off of "Born Free"

Wed. 10/21/09 12:39am From: Paolo

If we want to stay true to the Star Wars theme, I think that what we need now is the song Jabda by Koto

Wed. 10/21/09 12:40am From: toni d.

efd--i'm truely sorry if i sounded needy,,,well have a rockin week and keep on groooovin,,

Wed. 10/21/09 12:40am From: AZ

Ah, the Radar label...home of the Yachts...(fingers crossed)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:43am From: Hatch

The best Yachts single was on Stiff.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:44am From: Michael from the Left Coast

EFD--I would have bet my life that you would play this

Wed. 10/21/09 12:45am From: Danne D

so Toni, ya didn't even say what you're gonna be for halloween :)

and yet another great tune EFD!

Wed. 10/21/09 12:46am From: Wilson from the Delta

Yes, awesome choice.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:46am From: efd

sadly, AZ and Hatch, I have no Yachts singles on either label with me tonight.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:46am From: AZ

Hatch--you think? Both "Yachting Types" and "Box 202" were on Radar. ("Suffice to Say" is pretty great, though.)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:48am From: Hatch

I had "Suffice To Say" with me last night, didn't play it cause I'd just played it off the Stiff Box the previous week.

Yeah AZ that is definitely my favorite Yachts track by far... I don't really care for the live version on S.O.S. but the single version ruuuuules.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:49am From: AZ

Not to worry, Evan. You're already killing me with greatness.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:49am From: efd

i got burned by that live version once... forgot it was live and put it on the air. bitterly disappointing myself and listeners, no doubt.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:51am From: Danne D

it's interesting how it seems that a pretty low percentage of bands are better live. But usually when they are it's pretty clear.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:51am From: efd

AZ you are too kind, sir.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:54am From: Michael from the Left Coast

Scorpio! And one of the great drum breaks of all time

Wed. 10/21/09 12:55am From: G

Wow, I'd totally forgotten this Dennis Coffey 45. From Detroit.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:55am From: nec13

Great show, Evan.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:55am From: efd

yeah, i was waiting for this part before coming on mic.

Wed. 10/21/09 12:56am From: toni daytona

just one last thing evan,,,,i love your show,,,and you're a god!!! thank you evan=)

Wed. 10/21/09 12:57am From: Michael from the Left Coast

EFD--you know of course that this is the break in Young MC's Bust a Move

Wed. 10/21/09 1:01am From: AZ

Wow...this has that great Abba/Boney M phonetic English things happening. Nice synth bass, too.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:07am From: Gary Glitter

and I also didn't know I loved you till I saw you rock n roll!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:08am From: Danne D

Apocalypse Wow :)

Wed. 10/21/09 1:08am From: nec13

Who is Andy Macklay?

Wed. 10/21/09 1:09am From: nec13

This is Andy Mackay, right?

Wed. 10/21/09 1:09am From: efd

whoops - that should have been Mackay.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:10am From: nec13

No problem, Evan.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:11am From: Paolo

Ohhh, I was really in the mood to hear Lovely Day recently

Wed. 10/21/09 1:15am From: efd

i call this set "from the sublime to the ridiculous."

Wed. 10/21/09 1:15am From: AZ

Is this the first-ever song about an answering machine? Take that, Paul Westerberg!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:16am From: nec13

Do you have any Eugene McDaniels that you could play?

Wed. 10/21/09 1:16am From: Danne D

Convoy would go good about now :)

Or hell maybe a little Disco Duck

Wed. 10/21/09 1:16am From: efd

"...to the even more ridiculous"

Wed. 10/21/09 1:17am From: kamper

Is Joanie going to be okay?

Wed. 10/21/09 1:17am From: AZ

Didn't see the plot twist coming....

Wed. 10/21/09 1:17am From: Adam

I thought they only had telegrams way back when in the brown days of the 1970s. STOP.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:26am From: G

About Jigsaw -- Ye olde interwebs sayeth: "Founding member Clive Scott died on 10 May 2009. He had an accident at home two weeks earlier and never recovered, despite having brain surgery. "

Wed. 10/21/09 1:26am From: Michael from the Left Coast

You sure did!!!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:28am From: Danne D

wow - i totally thought this was coming :)

Wed. 10/21/09 1:32am From: Danne D

OMG you are bringing back so many memories of my youth!

You got "Energy Crisis" to go with this?

Wed. 10/21/09 1:33am From: nec13

This one is really great.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:34am From: AZ

"Black Superman"! One of my fondest memories of 5th grade was when 50 of us sang this over and over again on a schoolbus while on an otherwise boring field trip.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:35am From: AZR

I sure hope that's a 7" warning

Wed. 10/21/09 1:35am From: EAS

Hey, I'm from the 70s too!!!!!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:38am From: Danne D

ELP!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:38am From: osvi

"Singles going steady"...brilliant! Thanks, WFMU! Peace, EFD...

Wed. 10/21/09 1:40am From: Keira

I'm just waiting to see if Nick Gilder will accept my FB friend request...

Wed. 10/21/09 1:41am From: efd

wait, whaaaaaaaat??? I've got to get on that!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:42am From: efd

also, that was an exceedingly short version of "fanfare for the common man," wasn't it?!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:42am From: Michael from the Left Coast

Nick Gilder's been my facebook friend since I joined

Wed. 10/21/09 1:43am From: Joe

I thought it was the theme to "Star Trek: Voyager", but I'm actually really stoned.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:43am From: Danne D

LOL - I noticed that you were flummoxed by that EFD :) That'd be the single version of ELP I assume.

I feel like I've heard this song but if so I was probably like 7

Wed. 10/21/09 1:46am From: Derek in DC

When I heard "Rick Springfield" I thought I was going to hear the theme from "Mission Magic"

Wed. 10/21/09 1:46am From: Adam

This "Babys" song is actually pretty beautiful.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:46am From: nec13

John Waite?

Wed. 10/21/09 1:48am From: efd

nec13, correct.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:51am From: AZ

Your scrupulous attention to keeping the show free of non-'70s impurities is duly appreciated.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:51am From: Michael from the Left Coast

Worth the wait!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:52am From: air

i wasn't dead, just taking a little power nap

Wed. 10/21/09 1:52am From: Danne D

Thanks again for such a great show EFD.

Have fun at the record fair everyone who gets to go!
Jealous :(

Wed. 10/21/09 1:54am From: nec13

Great job as always, Evan.

Wed. 10/21/09 1:58am From: efd

thanks everyone, I had a blast doing this show! Really appreciate all the comments!

Wed. 10/21/09 1:58am From: Danne D

Night everyone :)

Wed. 10/21/09 1:59am From: AZR

dittoes

Wed. 10/21/09 1:59am From: nec13
