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.

Is it just me, or does this show start off with a bigger bang on Tuesdays?
... aaah, it's probably me.
"The baseball project"? Oh yeah.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:07pm
From:
Joe
These boys were good, on the TV. Though I'm personally not crazy for Mr. Wynn solo.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:08pm
From:

Baseball project song enough to make one forget the disaster that is NY baseball this evening/season....play ball! Barring that, play 45s!
Tue. 6/24/08 11:10pm
From:
Sybil
Heh. I caught the last inning of the Red Sox - Dbacks tonight: pure pleasure.
Oh, I forgot to tell you about going to Baltimore to see (as it turned out) Manny's 501st! The high point of my year so far. (Take that as you will.)
Tue. 6/24/08 11:12pm
From:
efd
Sybil, that's awesome! A couple of my co-workers (who are Sox fans) happened to be there for the 500th!
Joe, on which TV did you see the Baseball Project?
Tue. 6/24/08 11:13pm
From:
john
For what it's worth, speaking as a Mets fan, all Sawx victories are worthy of celebration round these parts.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:14pm
From:
Sybil
... and the hits just keep on coming.
Oh, John, sincere condolences and all that. I really do like the Mets (that one little thing aside, I think you know what I mean.)
Tue. 6/24/08 11:14pm
From:
Joe
It was my TV.

Am I really the only one who caught them on Letterman on Friday? Joe Belock tipped me off. Good man, that Joe
Tue. 6/24/08 11:17pm
From:
john
Sybil,
Thanks so much for the Comforting Words. I'm far too well brought up to mention that One Little Thing in friendly company, so I shall not. Ever.
My local town radio station here in the Yankee country part of CT broadcasts Red Sox games. No idea why, but great to have available!
Tue. 6/24/08 11:20pm
From:
efd
Joe, thank you for not making me ask you which TV *program*. I, for one, missed that Letterman appearance (as well as Joe's tip).
Tue. 6/24/08 11:21pm
From:
mila kunis fan
hiya evan--in honor of his passin could you pay tribute to GEORGE CARLIN 2nite,,,may he rest in peace!!! thank you efd=)=)=)
Tue. 6/24/08 11:23pm
From:
Sybil
So, speaking of old Sox, not that we were...
Julian Tavarez was DFA'd by the Brewers and elected to go for free agency AGAIN... I hear he wants to play for the Mets. (True story, he's got a kid who lives in NYC.)
Tue. 6/24/08 11:24pm
From:
efd
mkf, I was actually thinking of that but as it turns out I will not be playing any G. Carlin for reasons I will discuss on air.

I hope its in protest of the fact that 40 years after the "Seven Dirty Words" we still haven't made any FUCKING progress in the world of censorship.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:27pm
From:
Sybil
No George Carlin?
I was devastated when I realized Tom was wrong about the Rahsaan RToland Kirk, but now this?!
Tue. 6/24/08 11:27pm
From:
efd
it's ridiculous the Brewers can save a roster space for Gagne but not Tavarez. I would love to see him on the Mets!
Tue. 6/24/08 11:28pm
From:
efd
actually nothing to do with that, Joe.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:28pm
From:
john
Tavarez would be perfect for the Mutts. He may be the only 35 year old pitcher with an ERA of 7 they haven't signed.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:29pm
From:
Sybil
Mets - if Tavarez gets to pitch often he's the Dominican GIDP king. He'll pitch every day if you want him to. You want him, you bet.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:30pm
From:
john
I've always liked Tavarez, but I'm afraid he's in "stick a fork in him" territory. Sigh.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:34pm
From:
Laurie
Celebrity Feud was on tonight! Ice-T vs, Joan Rivers! I Ti-Faux'd it. Can't wait to watch!
Tue. 6/24/08 11:34pm
From:
Sybil
Heh, I can't believe I'm having a discussion of Julian Tavarez here.
JT is far from done. He just needs to get more innings more often. Even Yost said so (as did Francona). He's one of those pitchers who gets better when he pitches more often.
He took an inning "cold" the day he joined the Brewers and was in top form, because he had been pitching in rec ball with a neighbor.
He's not what he once was (who is?) but he could be an asset to some team that could make more regular use of him.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:35pm
From:
Laurie
No spoilers! I want to find out for myself what Coco thinks of as appropriate primetime-friendly clothing.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:37pm
From:
Sybil
Laurie!
Hail, hail, the gang's (almost) all here.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:39pm
From:
john
Sybil,
I hope you're right, because between injuries and meltdowns, any semi-warm body with a semi-live arm may end up at Shea in the next few weeks.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:40pm
From:
Joe
Yeah Ev, that Go/Black Hollies show was awesome, but I've been absolutely kicking myself in the middle of every show this week because I'm no longer eligible to win those Sonic Youth tickets. Don't drink and FMU, kids. And I apologize for being obnoxious.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:45pm
From:
Sybil
Joe - no apologies needed. It's Tuesday!
John - FWIW, I hear both the Red Sox and the Brewers wanted him to accept assignment (and with the Sox it almost happened), they just wanted him to get more innings. But Yoyo marches to his own drummer.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:48pm
From:
efd
Joe, that is a downside of recently winning tickets. But, at least you got to see the Black Hollies -- it's going to be tough to get through for these SY tix, I'm sure.
Tue. 6/24/08 11:48pm
From:
john
Sybil, I bet he was signed to a split contract, so if he accepted assignment he'd get paid very little; worth the risk of declining and getting the big league bucks elsewhere. Just a guess, though. No evidence, and I'm far too lazy to look it up tonight!
Tue. 6/24/08 11:48pm
From:
efd
one of these weeks I'm just going to do a sports call-in show, I swear.

Evan,
John from Greenwich on the line with a potential trade idea...
Tue. 6/24/08 11:51pm
From:

I'd talk about baseball, but the music is distracting me...
Tue. 6/24/08 11:53pm

I'm sure Laurie will alert us when the lights come back on in the lions' den.

Wed. 6/25/08 12:06am
From:

The other day, the lion cubs appeared to be alone. Then one of them started meowing and meowing and meowing and crying, and Mommy appeared from somewhere behind the camera.
Wed. 6/25/08 12:10am

The cubs are intruiguing.
Don't discount Mamma, I'm saying.

Carlin explanation is coming up... it isn't really that interesting, though.
Wed. 6/25/08 12:20am
From:
joe
That makes sense. I was playing some recent Carlin for my dad, tonight, and he, who was a huuuge fan in the 70's and owns all his records from that time, was extremely turned off.
He said he sounded like a bitter old man.
Wed. 6/25/08 12:21am
From:
efd
I was talking about Russert.
Wed. 6/25/08 12:22am
From:
Joe
You're a complicated man, Davies.
Wed. 6/25/08 12:22am
From:
Sybil
If efd never explained, I'd go to my grave a happy woman.
GC was often sexist.
I feel sad saying that. But he was.
Wed. 6/25/08 12:23am
From:
Joe
I dispute that. He was sometimes patronizing, but he has to be forgiven for his age on some level. Not excused, but you've gotta keep some perspective. I'm not sure I ever heard a bit of his that I would stamp *SEXIST*
I mean, we're all a little sexist, toots.

Here, this is my hands down favorite Carlin bit, which I actually discovered when some DJ had it in the mix when Billy Jam was at the Knitting Factory a few weeks ago (which was fun as hell)

Damn, foiled again.
However, I stand by my original hypothesis, couched in deception though it may have been.
I'm a small, petty person.
