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.

thanks for properly calling it vacation, not "vacay".

50 pounds of records is a lot
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:43pm
efd:

glenn, I am not a fan of the word "vacay." Not at all.

Joe D., I'm a record buyer, not a record collector.
  9:44pm
glenn:

i'm not sure which is stupider, vacay or convo.
  9:45pm
miss cheri:

evan sorry for using that "vacay" word..
  9:47pm
Joe D.:

Fair enough! Fair enough. That's an important distinction to make, says the guy who spent all last week's discretionary funds on the first 3 DK records and The Frogs "It's Only Right and Natural"
  9:49pm
miss cheri:

well i'll be back later tonight,,evan see ya
  9:49pm
PB:

I still spend a large percentage of my discretionary income on music (and have been doing so for about 45 years). Absolutely nothing I'd rather spend my money on.
  9:50pm
Beer:

Uh, discretionary income? Obviously you're not planning properly.
  9:51pm
steve:

is it bad that i don't know what discretionary funds are?
  9:52pm
steve:

im gonna say yes
  9:53pm
PB:

Fancy way of saying "spending money". Studied too much economics in college.
  10:01pm
miss cheri:

evan i'm digging your funky show tonight!!!

Joe D.:

fyi the Solstice will be at -exactly- 11:09. Feels important to say, for some reason.
  10:09pm
Holly in NC:

@Glenn: I'll see your mushroom breasts, and raise you mushroom ...orifices! http://youtu.be/789he-8T_-E NOT a joke, station has apologized for reporter's naivety.

Cat rescuers rule.
  10:11pm
SteveL:

Not sure I want to see anyone's mushroom breasts, although, as a man, I probably do.
  10:11pm
steve:

lol, thanks Holly
  10:16pm
SteveL:

My first hearing of OFF was on the Primavera-cast. Pretty impressive, ESPECIALLY for an old guy. The edge has not dulled.
  10:16pm
miss cheri:

who here doesn't love evan's show more than i!!!!
  10:18pm
Joe D.:

Dannnniel Pewjol everybody!

Cheri I haven't not NOT loved Evan's show since before AFTER it was cool
  10:18pm
nixxon:

I don't not love the show less than you, if that helps...
  10:20pm
steve:

unfortunately... my thoughts exactly
  10:20pm
SteveL:

Holly: That was a delightfully disturbing link. Wonder how many times the reporter washed her hands after learning the truth?
  10:21pm
some other guy:

you can totally just call it "four".
  10:22pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

You can just call yrself "me."
  10:23pm
Holly in NC:

@SteveL - That poor young woman, I really do feel for her. A gazillion?
  10:27pm
Droll:

Isn't the real mystery in that video how the "meaty object" ended up 80m (262 ft) underground? I still think there's a story there.
  10:28pm
miss cheri:

ugggggghhhh summers here,,who hates summer besides me?? evan? holly?? do you hate summer??
  10:28pm
hellosmith:

yo I hate it too a little bit
  10:29pm
steve:

i used to despise summer, now that i have a/c and work from home its pretty nice
  10:31pm
steve:

you know what i do hate though? pants. these things are driving me nuts.
  10:31pm
Jered Weaver:

I don't know about this new PIL record, dude.
  10:32pm
Holly in NC:

@Droll - true. Horny miner?

New Nice Face was lovely.

I miss John L's younger voice, but nothing to be done about that. Oddly murky production though!
  10:33pm
SteveL:

Pants? Never wear 'em. Could explain a lot.
  10:33pm
PB:

Always loved the Sex Pistols but never "got" PIL.
  10:34pm
Joe D.:

that PiL song was actually surprisingly good

RIYL: supporting the lifestyle John Lydon has become accustomed to
  10:35pm
miss cheri:

evan & holly?? are you with me?? do you hate summer also??
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:37pm
efd:

I'm not going to waste my time hating something I have no control over.
  10:37pm
Droll:

Holly, I've heard about half that album and also though his voice showed his senior stature in the industry. I'll stick to the PiL albums I already have.
  10:37pm
steve:

Droll, that is a great question about the 'object'.

so that vid just made it to youtube yesterday? lets all hope there's a follow up.
  10:38pm
Holly in NC:

@PB - you might be pleasantly surprised if you ever choose to revisit metalbox/second edition.
@Cheri, you KNOW I HATE summer more than anything. So now I'm going to try & think of something more pleasant, like the Fat Boys.
  10:40pm
SteveL:

Time to vote for best band name:
Horny Miner
Meaty Object.

Begin now.
  10:40pm
PB:

Holly, I actually own Second Edition. Based on your recommendation. I'll give it another shot. Haven't listened to it in years. This old school rap is real summer music.
  10:42pm
Joe D.:

it sure is, Mitt
  10:43pm
Kendall!:

I thought Philly Boy Roy was joking when he said Romney was calling it Wawa's. I'm so very disappointed.

BY THE WAY

Finally got a Wawa's up in North Jersey. At the end of 280 in Parsippany.
  10:44pm
Joe D.:

you mean the BEGINNING of 280
  10:44pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Roy Zeigler knows how to say WaWa ya dope.
  10:44pm
SteveL:

Life is amazing when you're Mitt.
  10:45pm
Holly in NC:

Horny Miner's Meaty Object?
Perhaps too reminiscent of Atiel Pink's whatever

Evan, I love you
  10:45pm
hellosmith:

mittens romney
  10:45pm
Kendall!:

From my perspective it's the END of 280 and that's what it will always be in my head.
  10:46pm
Skirkie:

The Parsippany Wawa is a 40 mile round trip from me.

...so I've only gone there a few times.
  10:46pm
Droll:

I hated summer so much I moved to Seattle where summer looks like this (I just took this photo from my patio)
http://rotang.com/seattle_efd.jpg
  10:47pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

I prefer "Les Wa."
  10:48pm
steve:

wow, seattle looks just like nyc, if you replace all the green with murky gray and brown
  10:48pm
Kendall!:

The Fat Boys - named for one of the rap group names tried in Chris Rock's movie CB4? Or vice versa?
  10:49pm

Steve, You don't want to see this place the other 9 months of the year. Replace all the green with gray and wet.
Holly, Great Dokken look, but the glass full of octane is blocking your pearls.

hellosmith:

i also love tintin. and i love what is coming through my speakers right now.
  10:57pm
Holly in NC:

Not sure that's same intro...I think Harry sounds more perky introing "We Can Make It". Doesn't matter, totally cool.

evan & holly thnx so much for your company night all!!

btw you'd better have food for them! I spoiled them last time.
  11:02pm
Joe D.:

says here that You Can Make it was also featured on the 83 Pebbles box set... wonder if it has the same intro?

also Evan do you have any insight into how these In-Sound interviews were recorded? They're pretty obviously not phone interviews, but they're not obviously not in-studio taped live either.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:03pm

Holly, that definitely sounded like the same "thank you for being with us!"

Joe D., I haven't read anything but I'd guess that the bands being interviewed went into some nearby radio station or studio and were given questions to answer, then HH read back those questions and the answers were edited in.

Go Penelope!

Hi EFD :)

Um, let's go Dolphins?!?

How's it going Holly?

Anyone else get a craving for Howard Johnson's tonight?

1989 to be exact $17.74 at discogs, which seems pricey.

Oh heck! Water just reissued , $11.42 used @ Amazon & reissue is 2 discs - I need to upgrade!!!!
  11:32pm
Holly in NC:

@Danne, you're making me choke again!
And yes, I would kill for some fried clams & ice cream.

I see that sports artist LeRoy Neiman has passed away.
  11:35pm
Danne D:

@Ken :(
  11:38pm
Danne D:

I remember volunteering on the MS Bike Tour about a decade ago and the half-way point was at "Seasons" or "Legends" or whatever the hell they had renamed the old Playboy Club up in Sussex county. I remember that literally everything was vintage probably from the opening of the place. Carpenting on the walls. Paneling and Lattice everywhere. Burnt orange and other earth tones dominated. Stucco. And of course there still were the Leroy Neiman prints in the rooms as well :)
  11:38pm
Danne D:

I bet that even in 2012 it probably STILL looks the same in that place. Probably a great place for an EFD starting with the 70s meet-up if ever there was one :)
  11:43pm
steve:

you've done it again efd! as someone who listens to 80s disco pop and loves all vocoder related music i am baffled to have never heard of this disco pop band named vocoder

bad ass, thanks evan! gonna have to order a copy.
  11:48pm
Danne D:

It's bad form to clothesline an over-caffeinated child at a Starbucks, right?

(Don't worry I'm not really going to clothesline the kid - but seriously - these people wonder why the kids acting hyper at 11:48?...)

Great show EFD! I myself was/is also a big fan of the 'Open Up Your Door' compilation, the Richard and The Young Lion tracks, and played them frequently on my radio show @ WBNY in Buffalo. Glad to hear the original Harry Harrison mix and the missing puzzle pieces!
