  11:19pm
john:

In point of fact, my folks had a Granada, not the otherwise mandatory-in-Connecticut Country Squire. Metallic brown. AM radio only for a prog-free driving experience.
  11:20pm
efd:

  11:30pm
G:

  11:33pm
efd:

  11:33pm

[Insert expected laudatory Be-Bop Deluxe comment here]
  11:34pm
W:

Rick Nelson, maybe. Or Ozzie.
  11:36pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Unfortunately, Ian Dury is no longer with us.
  11:39pm
efd:

i was thinking of his *brother* - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Nelson_(musician)
  11:40pm
AZ:

I think Charlie Tumahai, the bass player from BBD, is also deceased.
  11:41pm
toni daytona:

efd got any sweet tonite,,,it;s always exciting hearin your show every tues nite!!!!
  11:43pm
Danne D:

Hiya Funk Friends :)
Great show Evan.
This is always such a sad weekend for me as it is almost 100% guaranteed that I cannot make the record fair as it is always way too close to election day and I'm busy with work :( :(

Anyhow as expected on singles night all the Sweet girls flock toward EFD :)
  11:45pm
AZ:

New Musik! Why was this never a hit?
  11:48pm
toni daytona:

evan are you goin to any halloween parties? and will you be dressin up?
  11:49pm
efd:

no halloween parties Toni, and I didn't bring any Sweet singles either I'm afraid. But i think there are enough other 70s hits here to keep you happy!
  11:49pm
AZ:

Wait-----what?! There was a Roxy-era Eddie Jobson single? How is it possible that I never knew this? Awesome!
  11:50pm
efd:

AZ, that's pretty much what one of the guys behind the counter at Princeton Record Exchange said when I bought this a few weeks ago!
  11:50pm
Danne D:

Evan's gonna dress up as a member of the Red Sox :D

Btw, your show is the perfect complement to meteor watching - which I hope to do shortly even though there's a ton of bright light around here!
  11:55pm
toni d.:

evan-- this disco diva is always diggin what you play,,,get down & keep on groooooooovin evan=)=)
  11:56pm
AZ:

I will now have to spend the rest of my life tracking the Jobson 45 down. It's good to have a goal.
  11:56pm
toni daaytona:

I'M the sunshine of evan's love
  11:58pm
efd:

AZ, if you like that you'll probably also enjoy Andy Mackay's take on "Ride of the Valkyries," coming up later on.
  12:00am
Paolo:

Hey Evan, you going to be at the Record Convention this week-end? I'm coming down to New York from Montreal to check it out. I hope it lives up to the hype (though I'm sure it does). If you can't make it, do you recommend any sellers in particular?
  12:00am
W:

Where's the loop that you normally talk over? Did you retire it?
  12:01am
efd:

just for tonight - all talkover music tonight is also singles from the seventies!
  12:01am
G:

it went to bed early with the camel.
  12:02am
Danne D:

Now time for the Midnight Ticket...Mirage.

They can't all be Oases folks :)
  12:04am
AZ:

I know the Mackay record. It's swell! (20 minutes ago, I would have told you I had ALL the Roxy spin-off records...)
  12:04am
Danne D:

Paolo - frankly you should try to get a look at every stand possible. There is just a freakish amount of goodness at the record fair! Think of just about any record you'd want to find - there's a huge chance someone will have it :)

Woohoo Slapshot!
  12:05am
Danne D:

Therese and Mike put on a great show tonight :)
  12:05am
W:

Handclaps! Excellent.
  12:05am
Hatch:

This Maxine Nightingale tune is really hitting the spot right now.
  12:05am
A:

Am I going nuts, or was that Mick Jagger singing with Frampton? I mean, it's cool either way: nuts or Mick.
  12:07am
Lang:

My Mom and I would dance to this Maxine Nightingale when I was but a wee Lang
  12:08am
efd:

paolo, can't type out recs right now but email me and i'll suggest some highlights (evan at wfmu dot org)
  12:08am
Lang:

You're killing it EFD
  12:09am
Derek in DC:

Maxine Nightingale! Suddenly I'm in the 5th grade at Jenny G's birthday party playing spin-the-bottle.
  12:10am
Michael from the Left Coast:

hey gang--nice playlist Evan (I just walked in)
When I saw the Buzzcocks about two years ago this was the only one of the songs that you'd want them to do that they didn't do (they did literally all the rest).
  12:10am
W:

This mix sounds different/better than Singles Going Steady
  12:10am
toni daytona:

evan i'd love to stay and comment all nite but un fortunatley this is my last post and gotta skip out,,,ohh evan you feel like ditchin the record this saturday nite early to go to a halloween party with me??? g'nite=)
  12:12am
toni d.:

*fair
  12:14am
camel:

jeez, just come to bed, toni!
  12:20am
Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--No Au Pairs?
  12:22am
dustin:

i love the fingerprintz
  12:23am
Michael from the Left Coast:

How about Sham 69--If the Kids are United
  12:23am
AZ:

Fingerprintz! I can't think of another band from this era with three good albums that has NEVER had anything on CD.
  12:25am
dustin:

AZ: true.. there one of those bands that whenever i put it on people love it and i tell them who it is and no one knows them.
  12:25am
efd:

Michael, I have Hurry Up Harry - will that do? I think none of my Au Pairs singles were from the 70s
  12:25am
Danne D:

:)
  12:25am
dustin:

including me, before hearing them on this show
  12:28am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Hurry Up Harry is always welcome on any playlist
  12:28am
kamper:

I have a distinct memory of Captain and Tenille doing Rubber Band Man on their variety show from this era. The captain was plucking on this oversized rubber band.
  12:28am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Yeah--American Squirm!
Sounds great!
  12:28am
Danne D:

basically I'm speechless I'm so happy listening to this show and here Nick Lowe appears and it's just getting better and better :)
  12:28am
efd:

funny you should mention Captain and Tenille...!
  12:29am
W:

Yes! Nick Lowe and his Sound
  12:30am
Danne D:

no way efd!!!!
C&T are one of those things that seems so obscure now but who were really big at the time. Kinda like the Flip Wilson Show. I was but a child but I have some great 70s memories :)
  12:31am
toni d.:

evan you don't wanna go to a groovy halloween party with me??=(
  12:32am
kamper:

I'm psykick!
I think at the time I thought it was their song.
  12:33am
efd:

toni d, don't be so needy. It's unbecoming.
  12:34am
Danne D:

If he goes to yours Toni, then he has to go to like everybody else's too and there's only so much EFD to spread around.

For my part, I don't think I've worn a halloween costume in like 25 years!

I was the Fonz for Halloween in the 1st grade.
  12:35am
Hatch:

You're making me regret not buying this Meco 7" when I saw it in a thrift show a few weeks ago.
  12:36am
Danne D:

My mom always called this song a rip off of "Born Free"
  12:39am
Paolo:

If we want to stay true to the Star Wars theme, I think that what we need now is the song Jabda by Koto
  12:40am
toni d.:

efd--i'm truely sorry if i sounded needy,,,well have a rockin week and keep on groooovin,,
  12:40am
AZ:

Ah, the Radar label...home of the Yachts...(fingers crossed)
  12:43am
Hatch:

The best Yachts single was on Stiff.
  12:44am
Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--I would have bet my life that you would play this
  12:45am
Danne D:

so Toni, ya didn't even say what you're gonna be for halloween :)

and yet another great tune EFD!
  12:46am
Wilson from the Delta:

Yes, awesome choice.
  12:46am
efd:

sadly, AZ and Hatch, I have no Yachts singles on either label with me tonight.
  12:46am
AZ:

Hatch--you think? Both "Yachting Types" and "Box 202" were on Radar. ("Suffice to Say" is pretty great, though.)
  12:48am
Hatch:

I had "Suffice To Say" with me last night, didn't play it cause I'd just played it off the Stiff Box the previous week.

Yeah AZ that is definitely my favorite Yachts track by far... I don't really care for the live version on S.O.S. but the single version ruuuuules.
  12:49am
AZ:

Not to worry, Evan. You're already killing me with greatness.
  12:49am
efd:

i got burned by that live version once... forgot it was live and put it on the air. bitterly disappointing myself and listeners, no doubt.
  12:51am
Danne D:

it's interesting how it seems that a pretty low percentage of bands are better live. But usually when they are it's pretty clear.
  12:51am
efd:

AZ you are too kind, sir.
  12:54am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Scorpio! And one of the great drum breaks of all time
  12:55am
G:

Wow, I'd totally forgotten this Dennis Coffey 45. From Detroit.
  12:55am
nec13:

Great show, Evan.
  12:55am
efd:

yeah, i was waiting for this part before coming on mic.
  12:56am
toni daytona:

just one last thing evan,,,,i love your show,,,and you're a god!!! thank you evan=)
  12:57am
Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--you know of course that this is the break in Young MC's Bust a Move
  1:01am
AZ:

Wow...this has that great Abba/Boney M phonetic English things happening. Nice synth bass, too.
  1:07am
Gary Glitter:

and I also didn't know I loved you till I saw you rock n roll!
  1:08am
Danne D:

Apocalypse Wow :)
  1:08am
nec13:

Who is Andy Macklay?
  1:09am
nec13:

This is Andy Mackay, right?
  1:09am
efd:

whoops - that should have been Mackay.
  1:10am
nec13:

No problem, Evan.
  1:11am
Paolo:

Ohhh, I was really in the mood to hear Lovely Day recently
  1:15am
efd:

i call this set "from the sublime to the ridiculous."
  1:15am
AZ:

Is this the first-ever song about an answering machine? Take that, Paul Westerberg!
  1:16am
nec13:

Do you have any Eugene McDaniels that you could play?
  1:16am
Danne D:

Convoy would go good about now :)

Or hell maybe a little Disco Duck
  1:16am
efd:

"...to the even more ridiculous"
  1:17am
kamper:

Is Joanie going to be okay?
  1:17am
AZ:

Didn't see the plot twist coming....
  1:17am
Adam:

I thought they only had telegrams way back when in the brown days of the 1970s. STOP.
  1:26am
G:

About Jigsaw -- Ye olde interwebs sayeth: "Founding member Clive Scott died on 10 May 2009. He had an accident at home two weeks earlier and never recovered, despite having brain surgery. "
  1:26am
Michael from the Left Coast:

You sure did!!!
  1:28am
Danne D:

wow - i totally thought this was coming :)
  1:32am
Danne D:

OMG you are bringing back so many memories of my youth!

You got "Energy Crisis" to go with this?
  1:33am
nec13:

This one is really great.
  1:34am
AZ:

"Black Superman"! One of my fondest memories of 5th grade was when 50 of us sang this over and over again on a schoolbus while on an otherwise boring field trip.
  1:35am
AZR:

I sure hope that's a 7" warning
  1:35am
EAS:

Hey, I'm from the 70s too!!!!!
  1:38am
Danne D:

ELP!
  1:38am
osvi:

"Singles going steady"...brilliant! Thanks, WFMU! Peace, EFD...
  1:40am
Keira:

I'm just waiting to see if Nick Gilder will accept my FB friend request...
  1:41am
efd:

wait, whaaaaaaaat??? I've got to get on that!
  1:42am
efd:

also, that was an exceedingly short version of "fanfare for the common man," wasn't it?!
  1:42am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Nick Gilder's been my facebook friend since I joined
  1:43am
Joe:

I thought it was the theme to "Star Trek: Voyager", but I'm actually really stoned.
  1:43am
Danne D:

LOL - I noticed that you were flummoxed by that EFD :) That'd be the single version of ELP I assume.

I feel like I've heard this song but if so I was probably like 7
  1:46am
Derek in DC:

When I heard "Rick Springfield" I thought I was going to hear the theme from "Mission Magic"
  1:46am
Adam:

This "Babys" song is actually pretty beautiful.
  1:46am
nec13:

John Waite?
  1:48am
efd:

nec13, correct.
  1:51am
AZ:

Your scrupulous attention to keeping the show free of non-'70s impurities is duly appreciated.
  1:51am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Worth the wait!
  1:52am
air:

i wasn't dead, just taking a little power nap
  1:52am
Danne D:
