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.

July 21, 2009: Pylon/Randy Bewley tribute
Randy Bewley, guitarist for the justifiably legendary Georgia band Pylon, died of a heart attack in late February of this year. Tonight, Pylon's bass player (and co-founder of the group with Randy) Michael Lachowski calls in to fill us in on the special "Randy's Birthday" celebration coming up this Saturday in Athens GA celebrating Randy's life.The show benefits Nuçi’s Space, a non-profit health and music resource center. Michael also tell us about some upcoming releases that will include contributions from Randy, as well as other Pylon-related news and notes. Check the links below for more info, and if you're near Athens this Saturday, head over to the 40 Watt Club for Randy's Birthday.

:) cool
Evan's one of those great DJs who can integrate the familiar in such a way that it all comes out great as part of a set :)

From:

Hey, Danne! Seems like you're a little early tonight, or maybe it's just the pacing of tonight's show that's throwing me off.
John, I'll give you (and everyone else) a full report next week!
Wed. 7/22/09 12:49am
From:
Danne D
less bs'ing by me after the coffee shop closed so I'm early :D happily a likely loss in scrabble was averted by the closing bell.
So Evan, there's just no market for Cole Hamels in our league, eh? Not that I really want to let him go mind you but I'm running seriously afoul of the league's restrictive innings limit!

got a surplus there John :)
Votto (1B only), Branyan (1B/3B), and Cantu (1B/3B). You have much the same problem I see :)

Wed. 7/22/09 1:04am
From:

yeah, with Lee, Konerko, Papi, and Reynolds, it's a bit of a logjam. Ought to be a high class problem! Oddly, it's not. I do have one other idea, though.

From:
anemone
thanks efd for running to the library to fetch the sir lord von raven cd. i looked for the lp at my local record shop to no avail. i ordered it online several weeks ago and i think they finally shipped it. i've only listened to a few songs here and there through wfmu and can't wait to hear the full album.

Mr. Dave Hill, my Sire, is also in the extremely rocking band Valley Lodge.

Von Hayes, yes; Dave Hill, no. At least not as far as I know.

Von Hayes, yes that's who I meant...
Wed. 7/22/09 1:19am
From:

EFD is, as ever, right. Dave Hill made two ineffective relief appearances for the 1957 Kansas City A's, giving up 7 earned runs in just two and a third innings. A career in music seemed much less uncertain. Baseballreference.com rawks.

Yeah, let me go wiki that.

Is this OUR legendary Amanda or another legendary Amanda? :)
Wed. 7/22/09 1:33am

that would be another legendary Amanda.

I just cleaned out all my closets, (why I didn't comment till now), and now I can't find anything.
Cleaning is overrated.
Great show (as always), EFD!

I love this song, love its title, love every single thing about it.

hi Sybil! well said (re the song *and* cleaning)
Wed. 7/22/09 1:42am

On the other hand, I found a bunch of really cool 1940s-50s style clothes I had forgotten I had. So there's that.
Now if I could only find the shoe polish.

Well, I know where I'm going on Thursday!
Wed. 7/22/09 1:48am
From:

that's the one downside to my advance ticket purchase for Thursday's Maxwell's show - I wasn't aware of the Ted Leo show at the time.
Wed. 7/22/09 1:50am
From:
Danne D
*sigh* Evan's show is turning into the weekly "Ted Leo Show Danne can't attend" report :( I mean he even played the town I live in - but sadly I didn't get hip to that fact in time
