Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

Tonight is all about prepping tomorrow's mojo menu, watching The Jerk, pondering the 2008 To Do list, and rocking out to Lakeside while reminiscing about 5th grade skate parties. Good times. Thanks, Evan, for the zen disco levity. I might get this list made after all!

From:
john
is this show going to be archived?
Tue. 1/1/08 4:52pm
From:
efd
John - the archive will hopefully be up by the end of the day, it seems that the change in start time threw a bit of a monkey wrench into part of the usually well-oiled WFMU archiving machine.
Ken - thanks for your comment and email -- you're right, way more records than I had time for. I think I still wouldn't have run out if I'd stayed on the air this whole time.
Rix - I'm not sure about the demons, but glad I saved your New Year's Eve regardless
slugluv - hope you're feeling better, glad I could raise your spirits at least intermittently.
eegake, Murph, dave, peteski and all -- thanks for listening and for your comments! I had a blast, that was one of the most fun New Year's Eves I've had in a while!

The only thing that would have been better than getting my morning started with this set in an empty office today would have been listening live on NYE. Great set EFD, keep it up in '08.
