Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

toni/cathy, I think you need to stick with one persona at a time. but thanks for the new year's wishes.

Y'know, when I posted that link on Twitter yesterday, I thought to myself "I'll bet Evan will appreciate this..."

Happy 2010 efd and all! (Haven't had a chance to say this in comments yet.)
And Evan, I love you, but I never will serve you as King. Sorry.

Chris, glad you liked the Das Black Milk track! Check out the site I mentioned for some downloads -also, I should have mentioned on the air that their live set on my show is in WFMU's Free Music Archive - freemusicarchive.org

that Jacuzzi Boys track was great! Kinda reminded me of "Villiers Terrace."

This Sandwitches song reminds me a lot of my friend Renee's band Elk City.

From:

nuts, I have the Echo live at Royal Albert Hall CD here, and they do "Villiers Terrace" on it - I should have made that segue! (and you were right about that Map Ref link)
Hey Danne, Happy New Year to you!
Sybil, the cephalopod recommendation was actually made on Facebook, not here, so you didn't really miss it.

Thx EFD :) How many days until pitchers and catchers report? I still have my Devils to get me through the winter but am still mourning the defeat of my Bengals (though the trip out to Cincy was fun)
Wed. 1/13/10 12:38am
From:

How many days until the 18th of February?
Wed. 1/13/10 12:41am

19 days left in Jan. then 18 in Feb. 37ish.

That's spooky that you mentioned the marathon EFD as I just sent my way too early shift request to Scott just now :) Depending on where my life is at, I may be willing to add an EFD shift as well :)
Wed. 1/13/10 12:43am
From:

Thx, G. I can't subtract.
37ish it is, then.

There's some MST3K vids on hulu btw :)
Oh and the entire series run of "My Mother The Car" as well.

Wow. This "Nineteen" is rather good, in a Wedding Present kind of way!
Wed. 1/13/10 12:50am
From:
Toronto Jim
Did I say "Wedding Present"? This one too!
(Here the guitars I guess, reminiscent of "George Best")
Wed. 1/13/10 1:20am
From:
Toronto Jim
I adore the Bunnymen. Rescue -- a usual opener for them. Got 'em live in Toronto September 1984 (a CFNY sumilcast recording, of exceptional true-stereo quality)
Wed. 1/13/10 1:22am
From:
efd
oh, this isn't the first track - it's about 2/3rds through, assuming the CD is sequenced in the order of the performance (and why wouldn't it be). "Going Up" is the first song.
Wed. 1/13/10 1:24am
From:
Toronto Jim
Ah. I guess I recall the Toronto '84 show, in which Rescue was first, and their recent Ocean Rain revival show -- Rescue was first then too. (First on that album is why, I guess.)

well king evan,, as abba would say.. thank you for the music,,,i'm headed out. g'nte have a wonderfull week & keep on rockin!!
Wed. 1/13/10 1:25am

Although, on afterthought, "Going Up" might be the first track on Crcodiles.

goodnight, cathy!

g'night even and funk faithful!

"Rescue" didn't assume permanent Bunnymen opener status until after the Albert Hall show.
That Noble Rot version of the Albert Hall show is basically just the 2nd disc of the deluxe Ocean Rain that Rhino UK put out about 18 months ago. (Brian Kehew did a brilliant job of mixing the live stuff--did Noble Rot even bother to credit him?)
Wed. 1/13/10 1:41am
From:

thanks for the info, AZ. Brian Kehew is credited, btw, along with Bill Inglot.

Do the Shrubs know that there is a beloved UK band from late 80s / early 90s with this exact name? Confusing, WJ
