Hey Evan! And yeah, I wouldn't want to sit either if I were Dutronc.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:13pm From: toni daytona

Tue. 6/16/09 11:15pm From: efd

hi John, good to see you here again. and the same to you, Toni - what you heard is true.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:15pm From: Peter Frampton

Hey, you, I stole that first!!!

Tue. 6/16/09 11:19pm From: Sybil

Good evening all!

And I am so looking forward to having the opportunity to smuggle the word "nederglam" into a conversation.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:19pm From: toni daytona

just a reminder evan rachel's birtday is july 12th,,,i'm havin a surprise party for her & you're invited.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:20pm From: Michael from the Left Coast

did you know they played this song at John Belushi's funeral (by his request)

Tue. 6/16/09 11:22pm From: john

How'd he call in the request?

Tue. 6/16/09 11:23pm From: Sybil

Well, gee, I hope rachel's not reading.

John: long distance?

Tue. 6/16/09 11:23pm From: efd

MIchael, no, I didn't know that - but it makes sense!
Hi Sybil!
John --> har har

Tue. 6/16/09 11:25pm From: dustin

i love this song.. wish the fallen leaves would play the states again.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:26pm From: dustin

and RIP Bob Bogle

Tue. 6/16/09 11:27pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Tue. 6/16/09 11:27pm From: toni daytona

evan--can you come?? won't be any fun w/o you

Tue. 6/16/09 11:29pm From: efd

Dustin, I agree re Fallen Leaves! They're working on a new LP, at least - should be out soon.
Toni, if you have a live playlist for the party then I'll comment on it - how's that?

Tue. 6/16/09 11:30pm From: dustin

oh, that's great to hear, they were really good when they played Don Pedros.. can't wait to hear it

Tue. 6/16/09 11:31pm From: Firm Grasp of the Obvious

Toni, it's just not that difficult for us men to come.

Evan, sounds like poetic justice to me! Hint: Try poking the DJ repeatedly and demanding responses! O:-)

Tue. 6/16/09 11:33pm From: Jessica

YAAAAAAAY!!! Summer just wouldn't be summery w/o EFD.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:36pm From: Michael from the Left Coast

EFD--yes the name of the band was Stillwater in Almost Famous. And in fact, if I recall correctly in the middle of the movie Stillwater does a song with a talk box solo like Do You Feel Like We Do.
Also did you know that the songwriter and singer from the band Jigsaw died? I would swear you've played Jigsaw in the past

Tue. 6/16/09 11:41pm From: Amanda

I think Stillwater in Almost Famous were supposed to be Yes? I believe I remember hearing that once. Though Yes wish they had Jason Lee as their guitarist.

No way, sad! Will we hear "Sky High" tonight then? I live in hope. That song has definitely been played on this programme before.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:42pm From: Sybil

Amanda, I do seem to recall that event.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:43pm From: dustin

i thought they were supposed to be the Allman Brothers? I had it all wrong.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:45pm From: Michael from the Left Coast

I think the movie version of Stillwater has elements of a lot of bands from the 70's--the talk box, the acrylic drums, certain songs sounded like Led Zep and Bad Company, they're an amalgam or a pastiche, I'm not sure which is grammatically correct

Tue. 6/16/09 11:47pm From: efd

wow, I'm sad to hear about the Jigsaw guy. Yes, I've definitely played them before, plus I played on Dorian's version of "Sky High" at this year's marathon finale. Can anyone send me a link to a story?

Tue. 6/16/09 11:48pm From: dave

this set seems to have a "totally awesome lyrics" theme.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:48pm From: Pastiche, Amalgam, Something Like That

I bet you're right, Mike -- It's like asking which real life band is Spinal Tap. The idea was that it was supposed to have details from lots of bands.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:49pm From: toni daytona

evan,,,don't you worry i'll be playin great music ,,i got some motown,,rock,,pop,,,funk & i mite even play some disco,,evan hope you can make it,,,

Tue. 6/16/09 11:49pm From: Sybil

Dave, I was thinking along those lines!

Tue. 6/16/09 11:51pm From: Michael from the Left Coast

You asked for it EFD.
Written by my friend Pierre Perrone and it's the only place I have heard about this

Tue. 6/16/09 11:52pm From: Amanda

I thought there was one band that Cameron Crowe actually did write about when he was a kid, but probably they made the fictional band pretty far removed from it or, like, "amalgamized."

Tue. 6/16/09 11:55pm From: Michael from the Left Coast

This used to be on my Personics cassette if you remember them

Tue. 6/16/09 11:56pm From: dave

i'm not sure whether this supports or counters my claim about this set's emergent theme.

Tue. 6/16/09 11:57pm From: Brian

For a second with this Sly Fox song, thought I was hearing Roxette. A group that has gotten a surprising amount of WFMU airplay: http://bit.ly/x0zvB

Tue. 6/16/09 11:57pm From: efd

Dave, it's in the eye of the beholder, as it were.

Michael, thanks for the link - and yes, I do remember Personics!

Tue. 6/16/09 11:58pm From: efd

I'm actually proud of myself for resisting playing Roxette over the past five years - I *love* "The Look."

Tue. 6/16/09 11:58pm From: efd

(at least, I *think* I've resisted!)

Wed. 6/17/09 12:02am From: Amanda

tasted like a raindrop

Wed. 6/17/09 12:03am From: FMU Site Search

Diane has Roxette "The Look" on her playlists from 98 and 99. Yes, you seem to have resisted...

Wed. 6/17/09 12:03am From: toni daytona

evan--what do you think of those types of music??

Wed. 6/17/09 12:11am From: toni daytona

well i'm outta here thanks for keepin me company evan,,i mite be back next week,,,nite nite=)

Wed. 6/17/09 12:13am From: Nite Toni

Weren't you in "Scarface"? :-) ( <--- smiled when I said that)

Wed. 6/17/09 12:14am From: efd

goodnight Toni. I think you've been listening long enough that you can answer your own question about those musical genres.

Wed. 6/17/09 12:16am From: ?

went to one of those backyard shows on broadway---very cool. Its like, a lot, on the street, and the jmz train actually runs right through it. Idk, very bladerunner, I thought.

Wed. 6/17/09 12:26am From: toni d.

efd i hope you feel the same way when i say love ya lots!!!!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:31am From: Brian

It's very mean of you to taunt us with talk of this Ronnie James Dio B & B with nothing to back it up...

Wed. 6/17/09 12:32am From: jmd

Oh, God. You've got to find that email. Please!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:37am From: efd

bingo!

http://web.archive.org/web/20021017051912/http://home.attbi.com/~burkeb/dio.html

there's also an unrelated story that i'll share in the next mic break

Wed. 6/17/09 12:42am From: efd

I know there's not much there, but at least now you know I wasn't making it up.

Wed. 6/17/09 12:43am From: Laurie

Just wanted to say hiiiiiiiii, Evan. I've been listening.

Wed. 6/17/09 12:44am From: efd

hi Laurie! good to hear from you. From what I partially heard of Tom's show in the background while I was listening to new releases I understand congratulations are in order!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:46am From: toni.d

evan you know i love ya lots,,,rite??

Wed. 6/17/09 12:48am From: Laurie

THanks! I haven't applied yet, but I'm getting my ducks in a row and will hopefully be enrolled in one of the schools of my choice by January 2010!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:49am From: Brian

I don't wanna be Last In Line on chicken wing night!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:51am From: Danne D

What's up Funksters?
I must be hallucinating cuz I could swear I saw some Yes commentary in the comments and that they came from...Amanda? A little harsh to dog Steve Howe like that, even if he does look like the cryptkeeper.

Oh and happy impending summer, EFD!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:52am From: Danne D

btw, I notice the EFD steady climb to the top of the league continues as it's now 2 down and 9 to go...

Wed. 6/17/09 12:55am From: G

You were mentioning translation help during the first mic break... Was away from keyboard for awhile --

images d'Epinal = a French saying, meaning pictures or prints that make the thing (landscape) look totally ideal. Epinal was a French town that sold cheesy prints like that. So that phrase means any kind of fake BS.

Band name is Butchers of Verdun (another French town)

Wed. 6/17/09 12:57am From: G

Danne -- On the South American Yes discussion list, they call Howe "Caveira" -- "The Skull". We Brits don't always age gracefully....

Wed. 6/17/09 12:57am From: Danne D

Frankly surprised at the volume of Yes that's been played on FMU

Wed. 6/17/09 12:57am From: jmd

Fantastic story. Thanks!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:59am From: Sybil

Pet Shop Boys!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 12:59am From: Amanda

Danne, I'm sorry if I ever misled you vis-a-vis my feelings about Steve Howe. Look out! (Though if you want the truth it was more a bump for Jason Scott Lee.)

Wed. 6/17/09 12:59am From: efd

you're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

G - I think in the opening break I was wondering about hte title of the Davila 666 song. Thanks for the images d'Epinal info!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:00am From: Amanda

Sybil, I share your appreciation of the Pet Shop Boys all the way!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:02am From: G

Yeah, I didn't say anything about that at the time because it doesn't translate much. Pingarocha would be a proper name, not something you can translate --

pingorocha y la diva rockera

Pingorocha and the Diva Rocker

Wed. 6/17/09 1:02am From: Danne D

I know it was, Amanda :) Was just funnin' ya.

Here's a link to a Steve Howe pick - do not view immediately before going to sleep:

Wed. 6/17/09 1:02am From: jmd

maybe as a income generator they could add the 'Rainbow In the Dark-Side Of The Moon' Laser-quarium. The kid will love it!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:03am From: efd

ah, gotcha G - thanks!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:04am From: jmd

EFD, hate to live in the past, but any chance you got some Elf around?

Wed. 6/17/09 1:05am From: G

Yeah, it's supposed to be an over the top band name, like Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:09am From: Laurie

HOAGIEFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:10am From: Sybil

Hoagiefest!

This song always does strangely remind me of Magical Trevor...

Wed. 6/17/09 1:11am From: Danne D

"Hoagie" is so South Jersey.

They're Subs :)

Wed. 6/17/09 1:11am From: Neil N.

I knew one millisecond into this song that it was a Hoagiefest number, and I've never even heard this one.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:11am From: Sybil

I thought "hoagyie" was, like, Philly?

Wed. 6/17/09 1:12am From: Joe

The highlight of my weekend, last weekend, was turning my friend's speakers around so they pointed out the window, opening the Wawa website, and playing the entire playlist at high volume.

It took 3 songs before anybody at the BBQ noticed that every song I played was about sandwiches.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:12am From: efd

they're known as grinders where I grew up!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:12am From: Sybil

OK, it's past my bedtime...

Wed. 6/17/09 1:12am From: efd

Joe, that would have been the highlight of my weekend too!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:13am From: Joe

Hoagie is Philly and areas of Philly influence. Wawa is based primarily in South Jersey. Past the Mason Dixon, as we say.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:15am From: efd

goodnight Sybil, thanks for staying up late!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:17am From: Danne D

Then there's the whole Taylor Ham/Pork Roll line. Taylor is all made in Trenton, yet if you ask for it there they'll look at you like you have 9 heads (gotta say pork roll). Conversely you'll get the same blank look up north if you ask for Pork Roll :) Anyhow, I'll now have dreams of food all night I guess :D

I'm gonna kick back and listen and sign out. Hope you guys have a good night and a happy kick off to the summer. Take care EFD! Farewell Amanda :)

Wed. 6/17/09 1:18am From: Amanda

Be nice if I could get a Tastykake up in my neighb once in a while.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:22am From: Danne D

you can order them online Amanda:

www.tastykake.com :)

Okay I'm really gone now.

Night all!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:23am From: randy in NC

Hey EFD. Kids are done w/ school and I can stay up late and listen live instead of on the archive. Yay!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:24am From: The Interwebs

Come to the Dark Side -- We Have Cookies!!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:25am From: efd

welcome Randy, and goodnight Danne!

Wed. 6/17/09 1:27am From: randy in NC

Did I see that you are going to be down my way later this summer???

Wed. 6/17/09 1:27am From: check the clock

speaking of randy...

Wed. 6/17/09 1:31am From: Amanda

Here I was thinking I had to go to the dentist because it was tooth-hurty.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:32am From: efd

Randy, that's correct - although I can't really go into detail here. Email me (evan at wfmu.org) and I'll give you the scoop.

Amanda, some jokes never get old, and that's one of them.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:38am From: randy in NC

Done

Wed. 6/17/09 1:50am From: Joe

*air guitar*

Wed. 6/17/09 1:57am From: Joe

*air synthesizer*

Wed. 6/17/09 1:57am From: efd

nice.

Wed. 6/17/09 1:58am From: randy in NC

Joe, a theremin?

Wed. 6/17/09 2:01am From: Joe

I can't top that. That's too damn witty.

Great show, Davies
