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.

This isn't Bad Company!
I'll never trust Tom Scharpling again.

A rare treat to listen live, rather than on the archives...
Tue. 2/24/09 11:09pm
From:
Michael K.
How Sweet!! Your playing "Our Song"!
Tue. 2/24/09 11:10pm
From:
E.L.
It's hard to find good 1970's black vinyl— especially at 33 & 1/3.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:10pm
From:
Joe
Aw man, I gotta call Marlene.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:10pm
From:
Ken From Hyde Park
I can't confirm if that was Bad Company or not, but the radio stations in the 70s played the Neil Sedaka song a gazillion times a day.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:10pm
From:
efd
hahaha! Michael, you nailed it!
Hi Joe and @brlamb! Nice to see you live.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:14pm
From:
Amanda
Now that I know all the words to this song, hearing it on the radio is (believe it) awesomer than before.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:15pm
From:
Lauren
I forgot about this song! !! I love this!
Tue. 2/24/09 11:17pm
From:
efd
Lauren, that song is never to be forgotten! That's why I play it every few months.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:18pm
From:
john
Dang, I do love me some Altered Images.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:21pm
From:
efd
Amanda, it's a scientific fact: the more you hear "1x 2x Devastated" the more awesomer it gets.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:24pm
From:
william k
efd, do you have the i could be happy 12 inch?
Tue. 2/24/09 11:25pm
From:
Michael from the left coast
Talk about a diverse playlist!
Tue. 2/24/09 11:27pm
From:
Michael from the Left Coast
It could be a night for some Nick Gilder? No?
Tue. 2/24/09 11:27pm
From:
Joe
that harmony reminds me of the harmony in "HoagieFest"
and thus, the EFD circle is complete.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:27pm
From:
efd
Michael, don't get @brlamb excited!
Tue. 2/24/09 11:28pm
From:
john
I think at that point it'd be necessary for me to say the magic words "Henry" and "Gross," but that'd be too obvious, so I won't.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:31pm
From:
Joe
I didn't have to buy it. THE BASS PLAYER IN THE SPACE SUIT GAVE IT TO ME FOR FREE.
So stop yelling at me.
But I still do want to buy their first one.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:31pm
From:
BillyJam
hi EFD - good show as always. Hey Micheal from the Left Coast - I admit that I own a copy (somewhere on album) of Nick Gilder "Hot CHild In The City" - damn now that song will be stuck in my head -:)
Tue. 2/24/09 11:33pm
From:
Brian
I do want the record to be clear. I was *not* the first to make a CanRock reference, much less a Nick Gilder one...
Tue. 2/24/09 11:37pm
From:
Wilson from the Delta
I love 1x2x Devastated. Sorry I missed that!
Tue. 2/24/09 11:38pm
From:
william k
if you play nick gilder, you may need to play donnie iris
Tue. 2/24/09 11:40pm
From:
Michael from the Left Coast
Billyjam, there is no shame in liking or even loving Nick Gilder--he made really solid records--check "Got to Get Out" (one of the greatest rock songs I know)
Tue. 2/24/09 11:40pm
From:
Here Comes Tim Sommer
For Gods' sake, play "Albatross" by PiL and "Bel Air" by Can back-to-back and then say "That sounds realy, really good if you've just taken two benadryl and washed it down with a glass of whiskey. Now call me a cab."
Tue. 2/24/09 11:41pm
From:
efd
oooh, Donnie Iris. damn. Now "Ah Leah!" will be stuck in *my* head!
Billy, good to see you here - likewise Wilson and William and Joe (whom I was not addressing when urging the purchase of the Cyclone 60 album).
Tue. 2/24/09 11:42pm
From:
Nick Gilder
Thank you Evan, Micheal, Billy, William K.....now sing along with me: So young to be loose and on her own
Young boys, they all want to take her home
She goes downtown, the boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown, she walks like she just don't care, care
(Hot child in the city)
(Hot child in the city)
(Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty)
Yeah
(Hot child in the city)......etc.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:42pm
From:
william k
hi timmy!
Tue. 2/24/09 11:42pm
From:
efd
Brian, it's really quite fortuitous that you're listening live with all this Nick Gilder talk. Maybe you can tell them about the time I opened my show by playing "Got To Get Out" something like 7 times in a row, backwards and forwards.
Oh! Hi Timmy! Wow, all the stars are out tonight.

Michael from the Left Coast
Wait a minute--isn't Heart of Stone by SVT a 1979 record?
Tue. 2/24/09 11:43pm
From:
william k
how bout some tvp's? jet set junta anyone?
Tue. 2/24/09 11:44pm
From:
Michael from the Left Coast
EFD--I saw that playlist with Got to get out on it several times, unfortunately I didn't hear it live
Tue. 2/24/09 11:44pm
From:
BillyJam
damn Evan! how many songs you got on this collection? Is it a box set?
Tue. 2/24/09 11:46pm
From:
jef
Isn't Jet Set Junta the blessed Monochrome Set, also always welcome to stop by and stay a while...
Tue. 2/24/09 11:47pm
From:
efd
only 20 songs, Billy. And Michael, it's a mix of late 70s and early 80s songs, so SVT passes the test.
Wasn't Jet Set Junta the Monochrome Set?
Tue. 2/24/09 11:47pm
From:
Brian
Had I know all this Nick Gilder talk went on, I'd try to arrange for babysitting and listen live more often. It was a rare act of will that I didn't make a "Got to Get Out" FTW! reference.
(The Marathon Box Set Premium sounds yummy. I'm looking into harvesting some of my internal organs so I can pledge to the needed standard.)
Tue. 2/24/09 11:49pm
From:
william k
oh jeez, yr right! that's hy you're a dj and I am not.
it WAS the monochrome set!
Tue. 2/24/09 11:50pm
From:
efd
here's your CanCon, Brian.
Tue. 2/24/09 11:52pm
From:
Brian
I like that Dishes track even more than "High Class in Borrowed Shoes"
Wed. 2/25/09 12:04am
From:
Joe
Buckaroo Bonzai?! John Lithgow?! For REAL?!
Wed. 2/25/09 12:12am
From:

thanks for getting that reference, Joe.

There's actually some WFMU homepage-worthy quotes in that movie.
"We are not in the Eighth dimension, we are over New Jersey. Hope is not lost"
Wed. 2/25/09 12:27am
From:
efd
I haven't seen that movie in a long time. I do know that after I saw it I always chuckled when I was watching a baseball game that John Wathan was playing in.
Wed. 2/25/09 12:29am
From:
Michael from the Left Coast
I can't remember--was this the hit version of this song?
Wed. 2/25/09 12:31am
From:
efd
i believe so.
Wed. 2/25/09 12:45am
From:
Brian
I'd claim "Submaries of Stockholm", but last I heard Carl had moved from Van Rock City to Brooklyn.
Wed. 2/25/09 12:46am
From:
Brian
Er, "claim 'Submaries of Stockholm' as CanCon..."
Wed. 2/25/09 12:48am
From:
efd
That just reminded me of the Kids In The Hall sketch where Mark McKinney "claims this chest in the name of Spain."
Or was Kevin McDonald the Spanish representative?
CanComCon!

(Well, someone had to do it, may as well have been me.)

From:
Michael from the Left Coast
Didn't some electropop band from the early eighties do this too? Neither that one nor this one hold a candle to the Vogues (single version in Mono of course).
Wed. 2/25/09 12:57am
From:
john
All I can think of is the Julian Cope version, but that was late 80s.
Wed. 2/25/09 1:14am

Is the sic your sic or is the sic their sic.
Wed. 2/25/09 1:15am

Ah, the Crust--playing a rare date in LA on March 7!
Wed. 2/25/09 1:41am
From:
efd
that's right! And they'll be taping Jimmy Kimmel also - airing March 16, I think.
Wed. 2/25/09 1:42am
From:
Joe
These guys are sweet as hell - I've been listening the hell out of them since you played them last... I need them to play some NY dates. Bad.
Wed. 2/25/09 1:43am
From:
Michael from the Left Coast
But I can't imagine that they're not doing dates for a week between the 7th and the TV appearance on the 16th?
Wed. 2/25/09 1:43am
From:
Joe
Jesus that was incoherent. Time to stop studying and go to bed. Great show Efd
Wed. 2/25/09 1:44am
From:
efd
no, for some reason they're not going to be live on Kimmel - they're taping it sometime around the 7th, and it's airing the following week.
Wed. 2/25/09 1:45am
From:
efd
I kind of like the expression "listening the hell out of"
Wed. 2/25/09 1:47am
From:
Joe
would've shone brighter if I hadn't already said "hell" in the preceding simile. Que sera sera.
Wed. 2/25/09 1:58am
From:
efd
correction on the Upper Crust TV appearance, for anyone reading this who didn't hear me say it on the air: They'll be on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on March 16, and it's being taped on March 11.

That picture is awesome. Marlene is sitting on a goldmine. Lucky gal.

Hey Even, How'd I go this long without knowing that DM3 track? Funkin' Brilliant! The new premium sounds great. I heard a few things I have on vinyl that I'll never have the chance to convert to the ipod, so that's handy. Hearing PAtrick D. Martin reminded me of another song I prolly haven't heard since it came out. Consider this a someday when you get around to it request: Moon Martin's Rolene or is it R-o-l-e-n-e? It sounds great in my head, but may have gotten a bit twisted after 25+ years...
