efd's avatar View efd's profile Options

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.

I know where you're coming from, though, I kind of dropped out for a few years myself.

Watching KJ on the Whats This For tour on crutches in a NUTTY mob is a good memory.

You on crutches, not them, I presume.
Avatar Wed. 9/18/13 9:25pm Holly in NC:

Hello efd, UM, Loretta, Ken & Barkevious!
The 2 dogs I'm with were just dancing & barking in the moonlight (& howling alone w emergency vehicles) ;-)

@efd, finally received your premium, but haven't yet had a chance to listen. Excited!

@Kathy - if you can finagle a smart phone w unlimited data plan, you're all set! Credo works for me. But I'm peeved that wfmu app upgrade is for iphone only BECAUSE AS AN ANDROID USER I STILL CAN'T ACCESS STREAM ARCHIVES, SUCH AS, OH, SAY, UNCLE MICHAEL'S...

Lloyd Cole is pretty tremendous. Lyrics worth hearing.

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions?
  Wed. 9/18/13 9:50pm john:

New Lloyd elpee is getting great reviews (and I'm a proud kickstarter backer), return to the sound of early '90s solo material, but I actually like Broken Record from a couple years ago better. Well worth checking out, as was the one before that, Antidepressant.
Avatar Wed. 9/18/13 9:51pm Holly in NC:

@efd - looking forward! Sorry to whine, I am truly constantly in a state of shock & awe re wfmu's awesome technology.

Thank you, Evan, for the heads-up about your Richie Teeter memorial show -- I listened and enjoyed, particularly Andy Shernoff's comments.

hi EFD ,, hi folks great tunes as always and a great crisp cool clear evening and a Full Moon !
  Wed. 9/18/13 9:57pm Kathy:

I have these romantic visions of living out of my car but the winter makes it SO less so. I just know that if I can listen to this station while down & stinky I will be just fine.... so ludite- ish, technology escapes me!! I will have no choice but to catch up!

Since I glommed onto a Give the Drummer Radio time slot, I've barely had time to tweak php for my blog. WFMU has ruined me as a coder. Then again...I was already pretty lame at it.

White Hills always makes me think of Hawkwind.
