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.

justine from math the band seems only rarely find her way out of her new jersey/texas orbit. | |

Brendan:
That Savior Adore track was beautiful. Kind of bummed that it seemed every college station in the western hemisphere got a shout out from Justine and mine didn't, and she just played a show here too! | |
|
Tue. 12/8/09 11:33pm
dave:
also, i kinda think i might have a little crush on justine from math the band. | |
|
Tue. 12/8/09 11:34pm
Sybil:
justine does only one thing, but she does it well. | |

Props to KDVS and you EFD. Enjoying the beats. | |

i'm pretty sure justine is the one in the hat: http://bit.ly/6y9uNk | |

brendan:
D'oh! I meant Savoir Adore. EFD - If you're willing to let Justine go again, WHUS Storrs. | |

dave just completely busted the margins. | |

dave:
remind me to invest in a URL-shortening service before developing my next unhealthy obsession with an ironic 8-bit pop outfit. | |
|
Tue. 12/8/09 11:59pm
Sybil:
busting the margins is somehow endearing though... | |
|
Tue. 12/8/09 11:59pm
dave:
it was totally worth it. | |

Spent four years with WHUS as the only station worth tuning into, early-80s stylee. Cheetah Chrome live and drunk in the studio a particular highlight. Pity there's no way to pronounce it other than "wuss." | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:06am
efd:
after all my bragadoccio i don't even see a math the band id for WHUS! phooey. | |

Joe:
Bernard "motherfuckin" Purdie. I mean, seriously people. Holy shit. | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:13am

You'll be glad to know that "orange" has been rhymed. A long time ago, actually. http://tinyurl.com/yh5bgfy | |

Arni:
the cowbell seems to be the theme tonight. | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:25am
Brendan:
efd - no worries. John, is there any way to get in touch with you about some WHUS history? There's been some semi-serious talk of attempting to create a written history. | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:37am
Jessica:
That's very odd, seeing the stbx['s name] associated with a station I typically associate with the actual-ex. Sometimes this world is just way too tiny. Also: woo, new Fallen Leaves! I [heart] them a lot. | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:39am
Lu20:
Great show tonight! Love PHB!!! | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:47am
Sybil:
Wayback in the 80's, I used to share a wall with a band called The Chairs. They were pretty hoppin, too. My main memory of them, though: one time their lead singer told me that they were better than Tin Huey because "we're still together, and they're not". I think he was jealous of my love for Tin Huey. Thanks for the memories. [This comment took a long time to articulate...] | |

AZ:
Wow...William Truckaway! Way to dig deep! | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:49am
efd:
I figured if anyone would appreciate that song it would be you, AZ. Or possibly John. Sybil, glad you took the time to articulate that story! | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 12:51am
efd:
Lu20, glad you're enjoying the show! And Jessica, yes, Fallen Leaves are wonderful. | |
|

This tha funky homosapien kind of rules in its own special way, too. | |

Hi there Funk Fans! :D | |

AZ:
Off the top of my head, there were probably about 20 loss-leaders (there are a few records that kinda-sorta fit the category, but not quite, so it's hard to get an exact count). Many people have said over the years "hey, it'd be great to reissue some of those loss leaders," but as you correctly surmise, the clearance issues would be insurmountable. BTW, I used to know Elaine, the very nice person at WB who used to answer all of the loss leader letters and then mailed out the records. (They even used her in advertising at one point.) Checks and money orders were always accepted, but plenty of people just sent a couple of dollar bills. I love the '68 and '69 loss leaders, which are brilliantly compiled, but the late 70's "Troublemakers" may have been the greatest of them all. | |

Lino:
The Upper Crust are so proper...and Justine....SHUT UP | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 1:16am
Jan Coztás:
That Ganglians song is so, so, so good. Thanks for playing it! | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 1:17am
efd:
Jan, you're welcome - my pleasure! Lino, you can't blame Justine for my own manipulations. But I'm with you on the Upper Crust. AZ, thanks for the Loss Leader info - exactly what I was looking for! Greetings, DAnne D! | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 1:18am
AZ:
Inevitably, it turns out that there's an entire website devoted to the loss leaders: http://www.dustbury.com/music/wblist2.html By their count, the number is 35! | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 1:23am
efd:
of course there is! Thanks for the link, I'll check it out when I'm off-duty. | |

AZ:
My Teenage Stride: I like the way they've turned a random line from an Eno song into a hook! | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 1:46am
randy in NC:
AZ, not only that but it sounded a bit like On a Faraway Beach | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 1:49am
Brendan:
Oh, that's Classy Craig! I thought that voice was familiar. As the kids say, "good looks" efd. | |
|
Wed. 12/9/09 2:19am
Joe:
GOOD LOOKS EFD | |
