efd's avatar View efd's profile Favoriting

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

dave:

if aliens were ever to come to land on my front lawn, come up to my apartment, and say "oh one called dave, what is this thing you earthlings call 'rock'?" i think i could probably achieve a significant step forward in intergalactic cultural exchange by playing witch's "seer" for them.

One of the Tuesday night dogs:

OK, this hydrant has been christened for the evening.
  11:16pm

HI everyone! I'm Wacky for Lackey!
  11:25pm
nec13:

The Red Sox sign John Lackey. Meanwhile, the Mets have cornered the market on backup catchers. Not to worry, though, I think Glendon Rusch is still available.

  11:51pm
efd:

dave, as a frequent pedant myself I will rarely criticize anyone else for being the same - thanks for the info.

Dan, on further examination it looks like that Mantles 7" is a Slumberland release, so should be fairly easy to track down.

Since it's insane request time on the comments, how about some Jacques Detergent?
  12:41am
john:

Now THIS is genius.
  12:42am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Nice lyric change to suit the different gender
  12:42am
efd:

you know, I was supposed to go see Jacques Detergent on Sunday, but I couldn't make it.

No, really, I couldn't make it. What makes you think I was scared?
  12:43am
john:

I mean, seriously, it's even better than if Cher had covered Hooked On A Feeling
  12:50am
osvi:

Its EFD with the toxic, crusty, snotty beats. Peace, WFMU rules!
  12:52am

  1:16am
efd:

great, the neutrality of my Wikipedia page has been in dispute for a year and a half. I'm not sure if I can go on.
  1:20am
claynferno:

hey evan! good on ya. I heard your show last week and was psyched to see that the song that I wanted to grab (but i didn't catch the name) was on the playlist. cobrastyle. i thank you and itunes thanks you! - clay
  1:21am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Nice! How about some Big Jim Sullivan sitar music
  1:31am
efd:

Michael, I think that one song will be the only sitar rock we hear this evening.
  1:31am
Wikipedia:

And we've also tagged his bio for excessive giggling and occasional failure to cue in advance. Spankies!
  1:34am
efd:

great.
  1:35am
Wikipedia:

Don't get too excited now.
  1:39am
agnes:

buenaaa loco!
  1:39am
Michael from the Left Coast:

The late great Patty Donahue! Is that Mars Williams playing sax?
  1:41am
efd:

don't see that name on the CD, so can't say for sure.
  1:48am
Michael from the Left Coast:

I would wager it was him
  1:54am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Now that I think of it it was probably Ralph Carney, not Mars Williams.
I'm digging this tune--who are these guys?
  1:57am
efd:

Yep, Ralph Carney is on there.

Valley Lodge are great! I'm currently in negotiations to have them come down and do a set sometime, hopefully in the next couple of months. One of them is based in LA I think - John Kimbrough? Comedian Dave Hill is also in the band.
  11:19am
Henry:

Hey EFD!
Did you ever get the chance to listen to the Adults' single I sent you? Hope you liked it.
On another note: you should open your show with The Tubes "Slipped My Disco" sometime. From the 70s as you so often do on the EFD show!
