when I met Trevor in London one of the first things I did was show him and his business partner the email he sent me that I forwarded to my girlfriend with a note that said "I think this must be a scam of some sort."

He actually was pretty enterprising, as he was already a fan of the show, but was seeing if there was a possibility of a business connection. Why not?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:45pm

Yep, he was working with radio presenters and other media folks in the UK so it seemed like a natural extension.

Going by the album cover, there were eight people in The Dooleys. That's a heck of a lot. Were some of them backup dancers?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:57pm
efd:

I actually don't know much at all about them, Robin!
  9:59pm
Robin Eisgrau:

I used to voraciously read British pop magazines in the mid-eighties: Smash Hits, No.1, NME and Melody Maker and I think No.1 said snarky things about The Dooleys and Shakatak.

Usually I can’t comment on E”F”D’s show because somehow it doesn’t work except about the first half hour or so on my iPad (comments work in nearly all other all shows). Anyway, I moved to the WFMU app (which I don’t really like).

Evan, I’m sorry about Trevor.

hi Scraps! Thanks for making the extra effort to comment, I appreciate it.
  10:38pm

One thing that’s weird about the app on iPad is, there’s no avatar. It’s all-text comment area, like 1988 or something.

Hi Evan! Quick chime-in: You were right the first time - it's Can-bra. Also, check out the back cover of that Members album - one of the guys is wearing a 3RRR FM (Melbourne) tee (they toured here between the first two albums). I wore a more recent RRR tee when I was on your show!

oh that's funny about the t-shirt! And thanks for confirming my pronunciation!

Any residents fans out there?

Eddy in Australia:

By the way, amazing work by Hozac to get that Baby Grande album. They've also just released a Cheap Nasties LP for all you Kim Salmon/Scientists fans.
  11:33pm
Shane:

Is that on Numero Group?
  11:34pm
Scraps:

Today was my monthly pill refill: it’s monthly and only monthly because I have a morphine prescription (pain constantly since stroke), and the government doesn’t trust me, or any morphine gobbler, to have more than a month at a time. So I get to know the pharmacy people pretty well, and I get to know their store, and foodstuffs they put on sale regularly.

So one of the foodstuffs I left with was four meaty sticks of Zoe’s Ghost Pepper Uncured Salami, and 12-pack-cans of Squirt to wash it down with. Hot, yum: makes pain somewhat less, no kidding. But mostly: yum, hot. Yum.
  11:36pm
Eddy in Australia:

Shane: No, but there was some Cheap Nasties material as part of that Scientists compilation (last year, I think) on Numero.

@Scraps Personally I can't do soda + spicy food; the soda seems to amplify the spice to beyond my tolerance. But I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I know what you mean, that first second or two is really hot. But it doesn’t last (for me)

Love the music you dedicated to Trevor Jenkins. I wrote music for him over the years. Much loved, never to be forgotten friend x

Thanks for the music, Evan, and thanks for being a friend to Trevor.
