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.

From:

Is it just me, or does Thomas Function sound like a guy stuck in 1985 with a 1987 haircut? Maybe it's both. Unless you hung out in Reno or SF circa 1985.
We're hopping a plane to NOLA, nowish. I wonder if there are any Bywater Funk-a-teers out there who can point us toward breakfast, when we land at eight stinkin' twenty in the morning. <sideshow bob grumble>

You can't say "October" because you know, deep in your heart, that should be saying "Rocktober." Obvs.
Wed. 10/15/08 12:20am
From:

When I imagine saying "Rocktober" it comes out either unforgivably ironic or full-on "Rawk-tober". And now I'm gonna have to adopt that October0avoidance stutter. Thanks, Laurie.

Numberman, I'm confused- where are you right now?? Is this (yet) another case of a commenteer remarking on something i said that i have no recollection of 5 minutes later?

Batman theme rules! The recent Batman movies don't really cut it. I'm pretty sure I saw the Batmobile driving through Highland, NY, a few years ago. I could scarcely believe my eyes.
Wed. 10/15/08 12:44am
From:
Joe
Or yeah, it could be something sad. Bummer.
Biggest Batman theme song memory:
There was a small road in the town I grew in on Long Island that junctioned onto a larger main road on a small isthmus of land between two ponds. It looked exactly like the secret exit of the Batcave, the one with the "detour" sign. Everyone in our town and the next one over called it "the Batcave", ever since my father was a kid in the 60's.
My father also happened to have the Batman theme song on a casette compilation of television theme songs.
So for a while when I was 5 or 6, we would drive through that road on the way home from my grandpas house, blasting the Batman theme song.
I thought it was the funnest thing ever.

Did Hefti also do the Batgirl theme? "Where do you come from, where do you go?/What is your scene, baby, we just gotta know!"

haha, Laurie, sorry to disappoint you!
Joe, great Batman theme story!
Toni/Miss B/Batgirl, with all due respect, the Shoes have been a favorite band of mine for 30 years. On the other hand, I don't think I've ever heard a song by The Cake. So, Shoes win!
Wed. 10/15/08 12:52am
From:

not sure if Hefti wrote the Batgirl theme, it's not in the station's MP3 library which is all i have time to check at this point.
Wed. 10/15/08 1:00am
From:
D in DC
If anyone wants to hear the Batgirl theme, it's on Yvonne Craig's web site (http://yvonnecraig.com)
I think the math questions we have to answer to post should be harder.

Sorry, out of my league. While I did, in fact, take two years of first year German in high school, I never got around to the "italiano", as the stereotypical pizza chef says.

If it weren't for all the coffee I consumed today, I would've gone to bed before Tom Scharpling's show finished up. Thanks for a nice show, EFD, since I have no chance of falling asleep any time soon. Send my regards to Marty. I must put the laptop away and try to crash awhile before I need to get up for work again in a few hours.
