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.

Mon. 10/26/09 10:22pm
efd:
If you're thinking of requesting the Shattered Glass single I'll tell you right now, the b-side is way better. | |
|
Mon. 10/26/09 10:25pm
john:
Awesome haul! I'd be all about Nick Gilder and The Passions. APB for old times sake, too. Haven't heard Cindy Bullens in about 30 years, and which was the one with the White Sox reference? | |
|
Mon. 10/26/09 10:26pm
Joe:
Hello people of the future! Here are my requests - FROM THE PAST APB - because its APB and APB is awesome. The Jaggerz - The Rapper because it's extremely incongruous Purple Reign because how can you not play a band named that. The Friendly Hopefuls - "Punks of 76 medley" because it sounds extremely promising. "So Right" from "Free The Preacher" because its such a great song. I was gonna see if I could find anything on the album that hasn't already been played but according to the playlist search, it's already been pretty thoroughly worked over. Oh, and the B side of the Shattered Glass single. | |
|
Mon. 10/26/09 10:36pm
efd:
oh yeah, the White Sox song ("White Sox Fan") is the b-side of the Huge Hart single. Although it seems to have little if any baseball content, so I'm not sure what's up there. Joe, bear in mind that since you haven't heard the A-side of the Shattered Glass single you don't really have know what I'm judging the b-side against. | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 7:03am
calzone!:
EFD.....I wanna hear Racey, cuz I dig the boss sound of a Chinn/Chapman record...plus Julie Jumper, Gilder, Diesel, Spizzoil, and a double shot of Donnie Iris medley; The Rapper>Ah,Leah would be plastic fantastic! | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 4:48pm
Lex Dexter:
I am a 30 year-old, only just now beginning serious power pop studies. It would bolster my morale if you could maybe, possibly play the B side to that Dwight Twilley single, and send it out to Power pop Pop-pop. | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 4:51pm
Will:
I would like to request Kimberley Rew - "Stomping All Over The World". Thanks EFD. | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 4:57pm
AZ:
For wildly different reasons, it would be hard to go wrong with either the Radio Stars ("From A Rabbit" = probably their best song) or Dickie Goodman. And I've never actually heard "Humbug," the B-side of Greg Lake's "...Father Christmas." (Although there's probably a good reason for that.) | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 5:07pm
efd:
AZ, I'm so glad you requested the Dickie Goodman record - pretty sure that will be the show opener. That Greg Lake might be a promo, though, so no b-side. And Lex Dexter, I'm pretty sure the Twilley is a promo as well so you might just have to suffer through the a-side. :) Will and Calzone, thanks for your requests! | |
|

I vote for the Diesel song. I drove by Sausalito on Sunday, and whenever I'm there I think of that song. Haven't heard it in years. | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 11:07pm
AZ:
This States song sounds like Sparks meets the Raspberries. Fab! | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 11:07pm
dustin:
i keep thinking this is Squeeze!! I like | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 11:08pm

Woah! I loved that song. I definitely agree on the Sparks comment. I thought it was them at first. | |

God bless you for playing Ah! Leah! I was about to buy it off of iTunes this past weekend, but didn't. | |

Pete:
EFD Thanks for the Kimberly Rew song! It came from The Bible Of Bop EP he put out in 81 along with the 7" | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 11:55pm
efd:
yep, same band. i'm going to play the song i meant to play when i do the midnight ticket oasis, since the LP version is 6 minutes long | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 11:55pm
AZ:
Dave, Chilliwack went all the way back to the 60's, when they were known as the Collectors. Most of their (large) discography sounds nothing like the "Gone Gone Gone" song. | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 11:57pm
dave:
serves me right. i thought they were just a bunch of romantics wannabes who had a habit of hanging around manholes. | |
|
Tue. 10/27/09 11:57pm

dave -- check ""chilliwack" in wikipedia -- they actually reformed in 2005, fwiw | |

Hatch:
If you want to hear some great soft pop with a hint of banjo, you should definitely play that Alzo single. | |
|
Wed. 10/28/09 1:02am
efd:
yeah, i checked that one out at home last night - nice! Thanks for recommending it! | |
|
Wed. 10/28/09 1:02am

btw Hatch (and everyone else), if you didn't hear that States track at the start of the show make sure you check the archive - right up your alley, I think. | |

Great to hear Cindy Bullens again after, oh, 30 years. Long-since defunct record store here had a big poster for that album up in the stairway you had to climb to get there. They also had one for the Eagles, which may have led to their early demise. | |

This is awesome, and furthermore is another proof of my theory that all bands with "Super" in their name are awesome. And my theory that all bands named after astrological formations are awesome. | |
