Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Hello EFD and all! Was the name Cookie & the Crumbs already taken? I'm no marketing guru but...
  10:20pm
steveL:

Boy, it would be cool if Control Top added Fort Wayne to the beginning or end of their tour.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
efd:

Hi Jack! I think it must have been, right? Probably some hotel lounge combo in the midwest, I'm guessing.

Hi Jack, great show efd. Have to tap out now zzzzzzzzz.

later Meds!
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:30pm
Kat in Chicago:

I did a search for "Cookie & the Crumbs". which certainly seems like it would have been used previously. However, the only other one I found was Cook E. Jarr and the Krums, who apparently played Las Vegas lounges for decades. So you weren't far off, EFD.
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Kat in Chicago:

"Looking like a cross between a young Buddy Hackett and Moe of the Three Stooges, Jarr’s trademarks were his helmet hairstyle (thanks to cans of Aquanet), a chestful of chains, customized jeans (most with his name embroidered down one leg), and a perpetual tan so deep that he looked like he’d just returned from a visit to the surface of the sun." www.lasvegasadvisor.com...

Fort Wayne wants them, and may be reaching out. More updates as they develop.
  10:37pm
steveL:

Constant Mongrels is one of my favorite band names, ESPECIALLY with the full understanding.

Eternal Boners just isn’t the same.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:42pm

ha, I was thinking of Cook E. Jarr! I remember seeing that name on a marquee in Vegas decades ago.

Lloyd Cole was here about two months ago. Didn’t go, for some reason. Don’t be like me. He’s an absolute treasure/treat/name your favorite superlative.

bad decision by you, steve!

They’ve earned them, Jack.

How’ve you been? Give me reasons to come to NJ:NYC. I need to swing a WFMU visit.

Better yet, I believe Lloyd Cole enjoys playing to intimate audiences (no touching!)

That’s too bad. Andrew gave a fascinating interview. Sharp filmmaker. Peace.
