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.

I waited for this song for three weeks, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. (If it is, indeed, the AC/DC soundalike you referred to three weeks ago.)
Tue. 1/6/09 11:07pm
From:
mike in SF
I'd completely forgotten about this band and this song. What a weird flashback. They used to play it on the radio in Phoenix.

little-known fact: the singer from Coney Hatch went to the Joe Lynn Turner Vocal School.

As Peter Gabriel had "Passion Sources", the first set of this show could be deemed "Spinal Tap Sources"

I've been hooked on this "Lip Gloss" since Psue broke it. Go Lil Mama. I just discovered Marnie the other day too. Its all coming together.

In all seriousness, I was talking about "Lip Gloss" in an extended conversation at work today. No joke. GET OUT OF MY HEAD, DAVIS.

Got Benji Hughes "Neighbor Down the Hall"? I may never need another disc beyond his "A Love Extreme". Seriously.
Tue. 1/6/09 11:41pm

Wrong track, pal. I don't care if he's on bass here or not, 1st & 2nd lp only! Have some respect!
Tue. 1/6/09 11:46pm
From:

Taylor, not familiar with Benji Hughes.
The Intl, sorry my selection did not conform with your narrow definition of Ron Asheton's career. You're probably not enjoying New Race either.
Tue. 1/6/09 11:57pm

Awesome version, too.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure she must have read Donald Hall's book Dock Ellis In The Country Of Baseball. The bit about hitting all those Reds in a row was straight out of the book. Highly recommended.

I haven't heard any awful puns, yet. Though the song is kinda diva-esque. I dunno if that's Vilanche or Kitt, though.

I think the most popular feature of the show is Evan inserting "ticket" into the mix.
Wed. 1/7/09 12:14am
From:
Sybil
E.L., we wait with baited breath each time.
Wed. 1/7/09 12:14am
From:

I think I meant to say "bated breath".
Wed. 1/7/09 12:16am
From:

So you're not suggesting anyone had been eating worms?
Wed. 1/7/09 12:18am
From:

I may have been thinking of the cat who ate cheese and sat by the mousehole with... wait for it...
Wed. 1/7/09 12:18am
From:
Joe
heh... bated.
Wed. 1/7/09 12:20am
From:
efd
"bated" is indeed the correct spelling for that usage.
Wed. 1/7/09 12:22am
From:
efd
ohhhh, that reminds me of the horrible Dunkin' Donuts campaign.
I am just going to recycle all my Facebook and Twitter material. Apologies in advance to those of you who've seen it already.
Wed. 1/7/09 12:22am
From:
Amanda
Your breath is bated, because you are BEING baited.
Wed. 1/7/09 12:25am

That's okay, Sybil. I definitely wrote "Santa Clause" a few weeks back.

I hope that Dunking Donuts thing doesn't start a trend (I'm spelling it with the "g" now out of spite). I'm already kind of disturbed by JetBlue's attempts to get me to replace the verb "fly" with "jet", but only when I refer to flying on JetBlue (or should I say Jet Blue...there).
Wed. 1/7/09 1:29am
From:
Jessica
[scanning the comments] OK, now I can only just barely wait to listen to this from the top.

I am pleased to say that until I just consulted Google, I had no idea what you all were on about, talking about Dunkin Donuts.
I've finally succeeded in isolating myself completely from all advertisements!
Wed. 1/7/09 1:31am
From:
Joe
I use "jet" as a verb, but only as a synonym for "bounce"
Wed. 1/7/09 1:34am
From:
efd
Sybil, nice work!
Hi Jessica, hi C!
Joe, I may be outing myself as a non-rube, but... what's the line?
Wed. 1/7/09 1:34am
From:
Sybil
Joe, how?
Wed. 1/7/09 1:40am
From:
john
Darn it, i think I dozed off and missed the Nerves. Not like I don't have the CD or anything, but it's somehow different this way.
Wed. 1/7/09 1:41am
From:
efd
dozing off during my show? The nerve!
Wed. 1/7/09 1:42am
From:
Joe
I take that back, "jet" is "bounce" but with implied urgency. Though one can "bounce" urgently. Example: (Sybil has just left a party)
Partygoer to other partygoer:
"Oh, Sybil? I think she bounced."
Partygoer to other partygoer:
"Sybil? Her ex showed up and she -jetted-"
The line is from the Waterboy, when Rob Schnieder, dressed as a crazy cajun swampman, screaming "YOU CAN DO EET" at Adam Sandler, who plays a mildly retarded football player. It's like my generation's Caddyshack.
Just kidding. That would be terrible.
Terrible like a Nerve/Nerves pun.

was that bruce vilanch earlier?
second
paul collin's beat was at some point managed by
the late bill graham
part of the reason
the english beat became
and then paul collin's band became
american beat

hi John, thanks for the info. Bruce Vilanch co-wrote the Eartha Kitt song I played, he wasn't actually singing.

this is a pretty good song, but i'm not sure its a pretty good Damned song.
