Good evening, all. Loved the Lulu interview with Todophonic Todd last Saturday. Her singing over the phone was very cool.

JakeGould:

@GraceGoldWay: My favorite deli? That’s kinda personal. But nowadays since tons of old school delis are gone, I would say “Little Poland” in the East Village or that mini-chain known as “Essen” that is like a Korean deli done right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42pm
efd:

Indeed.
  9:46pm
Steve:

EFD, can I ask you a music question ?
  9:47pm

I'm having deja vu, Steve, but go ahead. I think you asked me one a couple of weeks ago and I didn't respond but also didn't know the answer...?

I don't know the pronunciation of ötzi, either, but I recognize that as the name given to the mummified body discovered in the Alps a few years back.

Is this the original album release? It sounds very clear.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02pm
efd:

yup, direct from vinyl Carmichael!
hiya Jack!
  11:03pm
el Garree~:

needed more reverb but now more lennon
  11:13pm
el Garree~:

Just to set the record straight... Dion is a really nice person. Hey dj, set that record straight.
  11:18pm
el Garree~:

Ya know, I think I like Geoff's version of "Brazil" more than Maria's stuff. A lot of history in that. And lot's of love for WFMU.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:20pm
efd:

I don't think I said anything to suggest Dion wasn't a nice person, did I?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:23pm
coelacanth∅:

you didn't, Evan...Dion's music did that on it's own!
  11:27pm
el Garree~:

No, not a bit. He was the rock star of his brief time. I should have phrased it differently. Just a nice guy who I met. Point taken toward my personal deportment. Sorry, been watching to much "news" and rough around the edges.
Avatar 11:28pm
BEAVO:

This sounds a lot like The Verve.
  11:29pm
Carmichael:

Needless to say, this stuff ROCKS!
  11:30pm
JakeGould:

@EFD: Maybe that Dion comment was a reference to me saying Otzi was a nice guy? I mean he was! And now he’s a great mummy!
  11:32pm
el Garree~:

Huh? So did Dion die too? Say it ain't so...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:32pm
coelacanth∅:

yes it did have some verve to it.

ötzi was a person of his time. so was/is dion.

Dion is not dead! Just making a connection between those two songs is all.

Hi everyone. Been lurking tonight. Great show, Evan. Thumbs up especially for playing Splodge and the Teardrops.

Eddy! There's a new compilation here at the station that has an Anne Cessna track on it!
  11:38pm
Carmichael:

Dion is 77 years young.
  11:41pm
Eddy in Australia:

@Evan: Whoa, that was quick! Sounds like "Closed Circuits," which I mentioned on your show.
  11:42pm
Eddy in Australia:

Anyone else hear a little Yazoo in this Garrasco's track?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42pm
efd:

this is something different - it's called 'Subnormal Girls' (Vol 2) - international lineup of bands with female singers. There's another Australian band called Microfilm on it.
  11:43pm
el Garree~:

Dion LIVES! But still a nice guy. So do you have a tight playlist or "ride on the vibe" as we used to say in the 80's? OK I just made that up. Do tell...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:43pm
coelacanth∅:

yazoo or yaz?!
