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.

Hey Evan! Honest to gosh, there are few things in this world better than a couple Japanese women who can't really speak English singing "I thought the major was a lady suffragette."

I am making a quick appearance to state that I very much like the new Vivian Girls CD. And to call all the people complaining about it "hipster douchebags". That is all.

Thanks for the sixth place props, Danne, and good luck in the last couple weeks of the season! If only my first half had been anything like the second...

Wow! just tuned in and looked at the playlist. I am pulling records for tomorrow night on $mall ¢hanges show and I literally was holding the Oohio Express - "Roll It Up" in my hand. CRAZY! Love that song.

Danne D
The props are well earned john - it's been fun to watch your team make its climb. I think Aharon's going to make the magic 150 transaction mark by the end of the year :o)

Evan, thanks for the TV Ghost, wish I could fly out to see them and Pissed Jeans. What a show!
Wed. 9/23/09 12:43am
From:

It's all about Ubaldo Jimenez. I was actually hoping Aharon would manage to score every single major leaguer on his team for at least one game. Aharon, if you're there, you're more than welcome to Johan Santana (for whom I traded Mark Reynolds about a week before Johan went down for the season).
Wed. 9/23/09 12:45am
From:
Danne D
lol, john. I might have to look back through the transactions and see if he's had at least one guy from every major league team - that would be quite an accomplishment in and of itself :)

osvi, glad I could bring some of the WFMU Fest to you!
PSS, love when those coincidences happen - very WFMUish!

Didn't quite hear what the 2nd phrase was, but I think it might have been "The knowledge of ladies"

From:

couldn't help myself. Based on my ersatz counting, Aharon (babybunting) has had at least one player from 29 of the 30 major league teams (only Tampa Bay is missing). He's had a position player from every team but Tampa Bay and Houston and a pitcher from 23 different teams (missing Mets, Wash, SF, Col, TB, Balt, Sea). Here's everyone he's had this year in it's epic glory:

Danne, thanks for the baseball update - I have to admit that I haven't checked in for a couple of weeks, once it became obvious that I was consigned to 11th place. I need to go back and check my draft picks to see where I went wrong (although I think I had a disproportionate number of busts - Jimmy Rollins [in the first half] and Chipper Jones come to mind, for starters).

thanks A and John for the translation help!

Hey Danne (et al.) was just scrolling up through the comments, and let me assure you: the season ain't over yet! Pat Burrell here I come.

Wed. 9/23/09 1:09am

A--no harm no foul (I assumed it wasn't). Danne--awesome research! EFD--would you care to pick up Johan on waivers?
Wed. 9/23/09 1:15am
From:
A
Danne (if you're still on): you are the Bill James of late night. And someone on here is for certain the Rick James.
Wed. 9/23/09 1:16am
From:
Danne D
Yeah the Team Log section is neat that way.
And hey A - didn't realize you were the famous Aharon :)
Btw, to further highlight A's accomplishment I have used position players from a meager 19 teams and pitchers from only 14.
Aharon's made 137 moves. John and efd are tied for second with 36.

Why the Jones Boys made me think of Steel Breeze is beyond me but this is one of the more pitiful fan sites I've seen: http://www.geocities.com/sdgaynor/
There's a message board message from '04 about a reunion which has like 7 replies to it. The funniest being the last one which is from this year plaintively asking if a reunion was still possible.

Another stellar show EFD! FYI Ohio Express Mercy/Roll It Up was released on Buddah in 1969. A fabulous Kasenetz-Katz production!
