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.

Good evening!
The bats, they have awakened, I do believe!
I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight to catch up for tomorrow, and I'm the f'ing teacher. :( Glad you're on to keep my spirits up.
Mon. 5/5/08 11:16pm
From:
efd
way to go, speccy!
Sybil, yes, thank goodness! 4 in a row now, right? or more?

I guess everyone's too exhausted from Mayday Mayhem to post.
Who on Earth are the Talking Heads? Are they a David Byrne side project?
THIRD!

4 in a row? Don't ask me, I can't count! (Guess what I teach...)
Mon. 5/5/08 11:26pm
From:
E.L.
Laurie: I have a demented thought that we should synchronize a tequila shot — virtual or otherwise. Any takers?
Mon. 5/5/08 11:28pm
From:
Laurie
I'll stick with Diet Coke with Lime.
Mon. 5/5/08 11:29pm
From:
Sybil
I'll drink a virtual shot with you all!

Always the class act, Laurie. Cheers.
For Sybil and everyone else let's say at the end of the first song in this set.

Ev, you're rocking too hard. Some of us are trying to study.

Count me among the studious--finishing my senior thesis tonight out here in Berkeley. Show is sounding good, EFD...
Mon. 5/5/08 11:48pm
From:
Amanda
I love those Ministry covers! (or, covers by Ministry.) Their "Radar Love" is above reproach. Have to get that album.
How was the shot? I have only Gato Negro here myself, but I did finish the glass kind of fast.
Mon. 5/5/08 11:51pm
From:
Laurie in Miami
It means "System of sexual completion," or... orgasm? I guess.
Mon. 5/5/08 11:51pm
From:
efd
i had no idea my show was so popular with the study set!
i've got vitamin-fortified diet coke here in the studio myself...
Mon. 5/5/08 11:52pm

oh! well, ahem, that's not so bad then. thanks, Laurie!

Is there a sexy robot on the cover of that Xyx album?
Mon. 5/5/08 11:56pm
From:
efd
there's not, just a black and white drawing with kind of a vine motif. But i think i see where you're going with that question...

It's a well-documented fact that listening to EFD raises your IQ by an average of 17.56 points.

Virtual tequila is a lot better than real tequila IMO.
But I'd still rather have had the virtual Gato Negro. Wish I thought of it!
Tue. 5/6/08 12:03am
From:
E.L.
My internet flopped at the appointed time, Sybil. My emporer's new tequila shot will have to wait for next year.
Tue. 5/6/08 12:04am
From:
efd
David, you're lucky I found the single -- otherwise I surely would have played the album version one of these days, which is about 2 minutes longer
Tue. 5/6/08 12:10am
From:
Amanda
E.L., you mean it can't be enjoyed on your BIRTHDAY next week?
Yes, Gato is a wonderful resource for us underpaid teachers. But I don't think I could teach MATH with a red wine hangover... just creative writing!
I have a friend, Derek, who calls himself "Derek of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
Tue. 5/6/08 12:22am
From:
efd
damn, Amanda, good for you to remember E.L.'s birthday!
Derek of the Edmund Fitzgerald = hilarious.
Tue. 5/6/08 12:23am
From:
E.L.
Amanda, YOU pay attention and you make me laugh/giggle. People have told me of this Gato Negro. I'll have to seek it out on a non-school night.
Tue. 5/6/08 12:34am
From:
Amanda
So they don't have GN up in Providence? Of course, I imagine life is pretty affordable up there in general -- moonshine made from Dunkin Donuts flavored coffee, etc.
I know... I have to hip Derek to Laura Cantrell's version of that song. He'll likely giggle, himself.

i wish an FMU DJ would do that Aphrodite's Child song for the marathon finale one year, I'd love to play drums on it!
Tue. 5/6/08 12:50am
From:
slugluv1313
omigosh who do you think should *do* that song?!?!?!?
should we be taking nominations?????????!!!!!?????
Tue. 5/6/08 12:54am
From:
efd
that question requires more attention than i can give it right now, but off the top of my head I'm thinking Chris Stubbs or Clay Pigeon.
Tue. 5/6/08 12:57am
From:
Sybil
Clay Pigeon... perfect!
Tue. 5/6/08 12:58am
From:
Laurie from Miami
Maybe the implication is that multiple Floridas are dying?
Tue. 5/6/08 12:59am
From:
slugluv1313
i was thinking of maybe FABIO?
and YES!!!!!!! Clay Pigeon would be awesome too!
but yeah, DEFINITELY requires deeper thought!!!!!!!
Tue. 5/6/08 12:59am

DYING, here!!!

Good show tonight. Since we're both Sloan fans, it would be nice next week if you could play a track or two from the new Sloan record "Parallel Play" due out on Yep Roc on June 3
Tue. 5/6/08 1:58am
From:
efd
thanks Pete! i'm curious to check that album out myself, but i haven't seen it here at the station yet. maybe next week.
Thanks everyone for listening and for your comments!

They have the whole record that you can stream over at Yep Rec if you're curious.
