efd's avatar View efd's profile Favoriting

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.

  2:47pm
Ken Lawrence:

Hi evan was in the wrong place or didn't arrow down to comments Sorry you couldn't get to Love and Kisses, Accidental lover too many records too little time Huh?
  4:41pm
john:

is this show going to be archived?
  4:52pm
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!
  12:31pm
Andy:

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.
  10:24pm
dave:

how can i get a copy of Slingshot's "You shook me all night long"?
  4:50pm
