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.

toni daytona:
hiya evan,,,how was your halloween?? did you go to any parties??? i sure missed you was away for a while =)
Tue. 11/3/09 11:20pm
AZ:
That Top Secret 45 was the most absurd pastiche of Propaganda-era Sparks I've ever heard. Also, the only pastiche of Propaganda-era Sparks I've ever heard. Does this Huge Hart single predate or postdate "Oh Luncinda" by the Only Ones? Because it feels kinda Only Ones-esque, don't you think?
Tue. 11/3/09 11:22pm
osvi:
Yo EFD, you guys hit my b-day sooner than I do, isnt that crazy? Im blessing my day with a bottle of cheap wine and your beats. Feliz cumpleanos to me...
Tue. 11/3/09 11:25pm
toni daytona:
i'm afraid this is my last comment for tonite evan,,,but i'll still be listening so could you please play something romantic for me & brad??? thnx efd,,=)
Tue. 11/3/09 11:26pm
efd:
osvi, happy (earlyish) birthday!
AZ, I think the "Lucinda" you just heard is post-Only Ones. And yea, that Top Secret 45 is... interesting.
Toni, I had a quiet Halloween at home. No parties.
Tue. 11/3/09 11:40pm
AZ:
I think Alzo was a person, not a band. He was part of the duo Alzo & Udine who made a decent LP that shows up every once in a while.
Tue. 11/3/09 11:46pm
efd:
you're right AZ, the writing credit on that single is "A. Fronte" - presumably the "A" is for "Alzo."
Tue. 11/3/09 11:51pm
toni d.:
evan---i know what i said before but PLEASE find something romantic to play for brad & i ty again,,,g'nite=)

O yeah, I guess I got to buy it
My memories have just been sold!

Wed. 11/4/09 1:51am
blunt guy:
and why the f--- not?
Wed. 11/4/09 1:51am
efd:
nope... it just happened that the single was still in my singles box, and I couldn't resist busting it out again.
Wed. 11/4/09 1:52am
nec13:
I don't have a problem with it, blunt guy. Who doesn't like Donnie Iris/Jaggerz?
Wed. 11/4/09 2:48pm
rory:
