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.

jeff M:
nice, the Mission UK used to cover this. Never knew the original :) | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:05pm
Sybil:
Good evening! An evening that starts with dancing barefoot is always a good evening! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:06pm
john:
unless someone spilled spaghetti sauce or something on the floor. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:07pm
Sybil:
Spaghetti sauce makes it more fun! Speaking of which, Julian Tavarez has found anew home... with Boston's other team. The Braves are still in Boston, right? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:08pm
Joe:
Percee's on Stones Throw now? Those boys got one hell of a roster | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:10pm
john:
Sybil, Yes, I believe they are. Got two against Brooklyn tomorrow. Go Bums! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:10pm
efd:

Tue. 7/8/08 11:16pm
Droll:
hAPPY bIRTHDAY TD!!!!!!! I hope "U" get "ur" request,,,,,,finally! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:17pm
Sybil:
C'est toujours a cause des garcons. Wait... is Toni Daytona male or female? Both? Neither? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:18pm
efd:
Sybil, *that* is the million-dollar question! good news about yo-yo! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:18pm
toni daytona:
thank you evan & droll=)=)=)=) lots of love | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:19pm
Jessica:
Nice mix, there, EFD. And Happy Bday ToniD!!!1!!eleven! Whatever gender|s!!! =D | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:21pm
Sybil:
Droll has nearly captured that elusive je ne sais quoi. But - ain't nothin like the real thing baby! Happy Birthday T/D! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:23pm
toni d.:
sybil,,jess i asure you i'm a WOMAN hear me roar!!!!!!!!! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:24pm
efd:

Tue. 7/8/08 11:24pm
E.L.:
Happy Birthday,,,,,,,,Toni! I always look forward to your EFD comments,,,, that's when the party really starts!!!! Cheers!!! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:27pm
Sybil:
mockinpott!!!!!!!! nene records*... what more does one need? * and the occasional (but not TOO occasional) Manny HR | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:28pm
efd:
i think Manny's coming out of his slump, yes? Two key RBIs in two days! And with the Yankees playing the Rays it almost doesn't matter who wins. Almost. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:29pm
Joe:
Hey... it matters to _some_ people. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:29pm
toni d.:
thank you everyone. evan if you could please play "GOLDDUST WOMAN" by fleetwood mac thank very much efd=)=)=) | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:32pm
HotRod:
I second the Gold Dust Woman request! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:34pm
Laurie:
It's pronounced Yeah-elle. Sort of. More like Yehl, I think. It's an acronym, not a "real" French name. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:35pm
Droll:
GD Woman for TD Woman! (Besides, Lindsey Buckingham rules and I want to set a precedent for B-day requests!) | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:35pm
Sybil:
Acronym for what, Laurie? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:35pm
HotRod:
It's pronounced "yell". All she did was combine the words "yeah" and "elle". | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:38pm
Laurie:
It's actually an acronym for "You Enjoy Life." | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:40pm
Sybil:
Wooden shjips?! Give unto me a break! (> 1/4 Skansk, so I'm entitled to complain.) Laurie, I like that explanation so much I don't care if it's right. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:41pm
efd:
jeez, talk about a pregnant pause! Toni, will this do as a birthday request? I don't think gold dust woman will fly. (sorry, HotRod!) | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:42pm
john:
why is it i've always really liked those guys but they weird me out at the same time? Is it the silent j? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:42pm
Sybil:
NO YOU DI'NT!!!! BBBBBBut you did! actually, this confirms my opinion that this show RULZ! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:42pm
HotRod:
That is correct, Laurie...according to wiki. I should've written that it's a "portmanteau" of "yeah" and "elle". Ah, oui oui. C'est bon! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:43pm
Joe:
I've always thought Wooden Shjips should have a song called "Crosby, Stills, and Njash" | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:43pm
efd:
the silent j is annoyjing, i agree. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:43pm
Jessica:
I heard it was "Kiss My F--king Di-ck, Man" No, wait, that's someone else. [Yay, Hot Chocolate!] | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:44pm
Sybil:
[Yay, Hot Chocolate!] Well, yes! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:45pm
E.L.:
I heard this a few weeks back on Joe McGasko's show and I wrote to him saying it always reminds me of the movie Detroit Rock City and the amazing performance by "Dickie" the bartender. It still does! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:45pm
toni daytona:
yes evan,,thank you for thinkin of me your verry sweet,,love ya=)=)=) | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:45pm
HotRod:
Oh man! EFD's not a fan of Gold Dust Woman? I think I'm offended. Let me check....ummm...yes, I am very offended. **wipes away tears** | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:46pm
C:
Happy birthday. You missed a great chance this morning with Hatch. He was asking for birthday requests. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:47pm
Amanda:
HotRod, did he make you cry? Make you break down? Shatter your illusions of love? I'm with you on that, by the way! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:48pm
efd:
it's Stevie Nicks that's the problem, frankly. I do like some non-SN Fleetwood Mac songs, for whatever that's worth. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:48pm
HotRod:
How young are you today, Toni D? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:49pm
john:
Tusk! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:49pm
Jessica:
Aw, c'mon. Sure, it's a school night, but just this once an exception could be made for bday Gold Dust Woman. ?!?!?!? Laurie: we can has lioncubs update? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:49pm
HotRod:
If Stevie's the problem, then how about Hole's cover version on The Crow: City of Angels soundtrack? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:49pm
efd:
(first time an FMU DJ has had to defend his *dislike* of Fleetwood Mac??) | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:50pm
Sybil:
I often wonder if the people who are listening, but not privvy to the comments, have any idea what's going on. OMFG Hatch. I was the one who made EFD's class creds. Evan, the film was a-frickin-mazing. This is not the place (or time) for a review, but can we work something out? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:50pm
HotRod:
It's all going to hell. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:50pm
Joe:
Fleetwood Mac the British blues band is excellent. Fleetwood Mac the California Pop band, not so much. But c'mon, it's the lady's birthday, Ev. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:51pm
toni d.:
hotrod--i'll be 27 on saturday,,i'm goin to wildwod WHOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:52pm
Droll:
TD, sorry I jinxed your B-day request,,,,,,, I owe you summin'. I say double down on requests! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:52pm
HotRod:
Are you going to also tell us that you hate puppies, cotton candy and rainbows too??? For the love of Stevie! | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:53pm
john:
Now, for me, it's California pop, si! British blues, no! One man's opinion. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:53pm
Jessica:
Sybil: seriously. I expected to hear half the country chortling at John's comment [Tusk!], but the streets, they are quiet. efd: I share your antipathy. I go so far as to shout at the screen whenever a "scarf over the lampshade" prop appears. Which happens in Buffy vs. Dracula, thus ruining the otherwise totally effing stellar episode. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:55pm
efd:
if there was a Trailmix version of Gold Dust Woman, a la You Make Lovin' Fun, I'd be all over it. | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:57pm
C:
Maybe you could play some clips from Family Guy instead? | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:59pm
toni daytona:
efd--hotrod & everyone this is my final comment of 2nite. thank you all for everything,,i love you evan & hotrod g'nite=)=)=) | |
Tue. 7/8/08 11:59pm
HotRod:
Is that you, Amanda??? WHFR??? I'll try to break up the pieces and go home. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:00am
paul madvig:
do you have any SPY SOUNDTRACKS | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:00am
Sybil:
efd; Stevie Nicks wrote one single song that made me rethink my hatred of her: that would be "Landslide". I think Dixie Chicks did a much better version. And I'm too tired to argue this further. Every 1's a winner baby. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:02am
over by here:
where's the swag already? i didn't give dough to get swag, but i have a few choice items coming (i won the "Sound Art" book/cd) and i'd sure like 'em woooo! | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:03am
Joe:
I move the discussion is over because it is literally impossible to argue with anyone whilst listening to Steinski | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:04am
over by dare:
dis don't sound like no pollack.... | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:05am
Sybil:
Eric Burdon... anyone who plays... has my undying love... | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:05am
Amanda:
Yes! It's me! I'm glad I got to hang out tonight, I'm going out of town next week for two weeks. Sybil -- It was the somg "Storms" that made me totally rethink my position on Stevie Nicks, and I did a total 180. Weird. Agreed about Steinski, for sure. Let's hug it out. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:08am
Sybil:
Joe, darn his Yankees-loving heart. had made me rethink everything. More later. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:09am
HotRod:
Haha, I meant pick up, NOT break up. Amanda, will you be hanging in the Heights on 7/23? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:11am
Joe:
Sybil, I have to ask... Are you down with Black Man's Burdon? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:12am
HotRod:
Oh wait, will you be back by 7/30? 8/6? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:12am
john:
I brake for Steinski. And I loved Storms too. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:12am
Sybil:
Well yeah, ... and OPP. ;-) | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:13am
Amanda:
Will be there tomorrow, but then won't be back in NY until the 27th. If you're there you can pour one out on the patio for me. 7/30 and 8/6 are go! | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:13am
Joe:
Yeah, I know you. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:13am
efd:
man, i cannot keep up with you all tonight! plus there are ants in the studio, yuck. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:14am
efd:
did i miss a Norwegian Lion update? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:14am
Sybil:
I brake for Steinski Who doesn't? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:14am
toni d.:
one more thing,,evan & hotrod thank you very much for your support & for thinkin 'bout me HAPPY B-DAY 2 ME | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:15am
HotRod:
I'll probably see you on 8/6 then, since Matt won't be there on 7/30. Have fun getting away! | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:15am
seriously:
what's up with the swag? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:16am
john:
Forgive my pedantry, but I'm unaccountably bothered by a band that has half its name in Greek and half in Latin. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:18am
Joe:
I believe in the left handed? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:18am
HotRod:
I heard that more swag has been going out recently. There were some hard-working volunteers at the station yesterday...maybe today as well. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:20am
Amanda:
Yay! I'll see you/Matt in August! I have it from a good source that a bunch of swag shipped this week, but I don't want to specify in case that's wrong or partially right. I'm just psyched to wear my hoodie on my vacation down South. Yay also for Spiritualized. A belated yay. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:21am
john:
Left-handed glory, perhaps. Could refer to David Ortiz. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:25am
Droll:
Last year I didn't get my 7sec Delay swag until December, just in time for tax purposes. Well worth the wait, though. It was a murder mystery TV spoof w/lots of FMU "Air Personalities". Recognizably FMU, even though TV instead of FM. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:28am
Joe:
Speaking of 7sd, have you checked your voicemail recently, Evan? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:29am
efd:
omg i forgot all about that!! thanks for the reminder, Joe! | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:30am
Joe:
For the record, I knew that Fake Evan was fake within like... 20 seconds. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:31am
efd:
oh, i didn't even hear the actual show! I just got that message.... clearly i need to check out the archive. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:34am
HotRod:
This Frustration track is great! | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:34am
Joe:
Yes, apparently there's an Evan "Impostor" Davies running around, somewhere. You should probably let your significant other know. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:35am
dustin:
love me some xray spexs | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:36am
efd:
now if only i could figure out how to play that message on the air! HotRod, the whole Frustration CD is pretty good! | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:40am
Joe:
A friend of mine turned a bunch of hilarious voicemails into mp3... he's a crazy audio guy though, not sure what program he used. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:43am
Amanda:
I guess you could use speakerphone, but it would sound terrible... I'm very intrigued by this whole 7SD conspiracy about which I know nothing. Guess I should head to the archives myself. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:45am
a winner:
evan i sent you mail,,oxox | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:46am
Joe:
Okay, here's the scoop "The easiest way to do this is get a cable that is male stereo jack on both ends, Plug one into your phone (it should have a headphone jack) and the other into your PC. Then use a program such as audacity to record it" | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:50am
efd:
thanks, Joe. I am hoping that since I am at an actual radio station I can take advantage of the technology at hand to play it over the air. We'll see. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:51am
Jessica:
Hey! The Bears' singer sounds like he's E "Impostering" Davies. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:53am
Droll:
The Bears is The Psychodots with Adrian Belew -- who are these Bears? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 12:53am
efd:
yeah, these are different Bears - i'll check the cd booklet in a minute | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:17am
Joe:
I... have definitely fallen off on my Deutsch hip-hop. Wow. Spectacular. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:19am
Jessica:
The delivery = pouty-tacular. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:20am
efd:
well, that wasn't ideal but you got the idea... | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:21am
Droll:
The EFD Show: Starting with a 7SD phone message, then the 70's, every week from now on. I swear I wasn't listening. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:22am
Amanda:
You mean that wasn't a remix? | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:22am
Joe:
Aahahaha.... classic. FYI: the point of the show was Andy trying to call DJs who had, in his estimation, bad timeslots, so they could complain about them to Ken, on-air. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:24am
Joe:
Of course, we all know that this is the best timeslot ever. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:26am
efd:
this song has another 5 minutes to go. All in favor of cutting it short, say "aye" | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:28am
Droll:
Joe, am I to assume he and Ken get the "Best" time slot? (I wonder how that happened) We know this is not "The Best Show" on FMU, so Andy may have some point. [GONG] I think I get the gist of The Fall already. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:29am
Jessica:
And yet here no one was, needing that there contextual hint. Oh, the jocularity! I actually did listen pretty regularly to the 7SD, until I called in with a streetfight story one day, having just read about my streetfight story in someone else's not-actually-fiction short story collection, but which story's delivery was judged "too polished" so probably made up. I guess I'm still scarred. [aye] | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:29am
Joe:
Aye, aye. I don't think it's the "best" time slot... I think Andy is just a jerk. Bob Brainien was the only DJ who picked up, and he actually hung up, midsentence. It's funny if you like "cringe" radio. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:30am
efd:
well now it's kind of getting interesting again... | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:30am
efd:
the song, I mean. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:32am
Joe:
great song, great title, great band name | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:48am
Jessica:
Anthem to a misspent 1985. Aw, yeah. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:49am
Joe:
I was just gonna say... The Red Rocker, himself. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:50am
Droll:
Oh crap -- I thought you were about to play Motley Crue, not Montrose. I think my heart stopped for 4 measures until the band came in. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:50am
efd:
he can't drive 55 on a motorcycle either, apparently. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:51am
efd:
i'm pretty sure there's also a Saxon song that has that guitar-o-cycle sound. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:54am
Joe:
Avowed fan of Larry Norman: Black Francis. True story. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:55am
john:
Larry Norman rawked. Srsly. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:57am
efd:
Joe is correct - there is a sticker with a Frank Black quote on the front of the CD. | |
Wed. 7/9/08 1:59am
Joe:
What does it say?! | |
Wed. 7/9/08 2:06am
efd:
it says: "He was a lone wolf. He looked different, sounded different and he presented his beliefs in a way that rang true. Larry Norman knows what he's doing, and if you haven't noticed, you should." | |
