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.

  9:08pm
Laurie:

  9:10pm

hi everyone! It's the most stressful show of the year! Thanks for joining me.
  9:10pm
Nick:

I bought a copy of this album a few years ago at the thrift store. Original pressing. I was excitied and showed my friend Sol, a black man who loves hip-hop and makes beats. He hated MC Shan. He said he had no flow. I was deflated.
  9:17pm
Nick:

I lked it, but I always wondered if it was because I didn't really know anything about hip-hop.
  9:18pm
Nick:

Marco Peroni.
  9:33pm
mark:

This show could be stressful on my wallet.
  9:36pm
efd:

ha, I can understand that.
  9:49pm
Joe:

1. Surfer Blood - Astro Coast
2. Screaming Females - Castle Talk
3. (tie) Purling Hiss - Public Service Announcement / Hissteria
4. Tone Tank and Scott Through - Scott & Tone
5. Junk Science - Miraculous Machines
6. I dunno, Celph Titled or ghostface or somebody
7. other things

  9:53pm
efd:

See???
  9:54pm
Madi H:

I see what you mean.
  9:56pm
efd:

John, the next record is as close as we're going to get to Dawnie territory.

And that's only because they're from Pittsburgh.
  9:58pm
efd:

Hi Madi, thanks for stopping by!
  10:00pm
Madi H:

It's a standing date.
  10:00pm
john:

Doesn't that straightshooter lyric sort of sound like "if i leave this world tomorrow with a mullet?"

Ooooh, gonna play Rusted Root? Ahhh, Modey Lemon.
  10:00pm
mark:

Lovin' the show! Thanks for reminding me to pick up the endtables (among other things).
  10:01pm
listener mark:

Happy New Year, Evan!
  10:02pm
efd:

Thanks, Marks!
  10:10pm
efd:

I finally realized I don't have to keep putting "2010" for the year...
  10:12pm
Laurie:

you realized that at 10:10?
  10:13pm
efd:

I realized it sooner, but I decided to comment on it at 10:10.
  10:23pm
Joe:

i knew that would end up on yr list - I am surprised you picked the Super Human side!
  10:23pm
Madi H:

It'll be good when people search the archives, or something.
  10:24pm
efd:

Joe, it was definitely a toss-up.
  10:29pm
andyg:

this liminanas track is fantastic!!
  10:30pm
efd:

That's why it's #1! :)
  10:44pm
Kat:

putting the F in EFD with these funky compilation picks!
  10:44pm
Sybil:

Finally online... Good last Wednesday evening of 2010, everyone!

Drat, I missed the #1 single. But that's the only correct prediction I have made so far...
  10:47pm
Herminio:

Hii @efd, great show!... Greetings from Natal / Brazil!
  10:49pm
bennett4senate:

dang EFD, Brit Funk and Family album are at the bottom of your list, can't wait to see what bested those, they were big for me this year :)
  10:54pm
Sybil:

You know what, there was a single I was surprised not to see on your list this year, and then I Googled it and found out it probably came out in 2008. So there's a lot of that going around.
  10:55pm
Sybil:

These are some fine compilations! And how did a great title like "Le Beat Bespoke" slip past me?
  10:56pm
efd:

Sybil, it's tough keeping track of the actual release dates!

B4S, those are solid comps! It was tough putting this list in order.

Hola Herminio, thanks for listening all the way in Brasil!
  11:00pm
Sybil:

I would have said they spell their name like the great saxiphonist.
  11:01pm
Sybil:

saxophonist? It looks wrong no matter how I spell it.
  11:04pm
efd:

Saxamophonist, I think.
  11:06pm
Joe:

sax-a-ma-PHONE

sax-a-ma-PHONE
  11:08pm
Sybil:

Yes, that's definitely it.
  11:08pm
El Clash:

Saxofonista!
  11:18pm
Danne D:

Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone :) loved the bit of the show I was able to atch EFD. Looking forward to going through it all on the archive :) See you in 2011 :)
  11:19pm
Sybil:

I KNEW this one would make it!!!
OK, that's two correct predictions. I have no more.
  11:20pm
Joe:

Eddie Argos.... stand up guy!
  11:20pm
Joe:

And his girlfriend's a babe
  11:22pm
efd:

Joe is correct. On both counts.
  11:25pm
Sybil:

Oh, I forgot (how could I???) Mathematical Monsters.
  11:26pm
efd:

I knew you'd kick yourself as soon as I played it. :)
  11:27pm
OM:

I think it is roughly "AYE-res"
  11:27pm
Marcelo:

Evan, happy 2011 from Argentina
My family loves WFMU, thanx for the music
  11:29pm
efd:

Speaking of Argentina! Hi Marcelo, thanks for listening and best wishes to your family.

OM, thanks - that's kind of what I was going for, though the execution may have been a little weak.
  11:30pm
OM:

Of course I speak terrible Midwestern Spanish, so my pronunciation is often wayyy out there.

Awesome show, btw!
  11:38pm
osvi:

Taking notes...
  11:42pm
Joe:

ted leo is #1 of best people who will play basements.

in my heart.

I'm calling #1 right now...
  11:47pm
Sybil:

Good segue thematically and musically from #4 to #3.
  11:47pm
Sybil:

And then, goodness, to #2. How does he do it?!
  11:49pm
john:

Ted Leo also my fave show of the year. Rawk!
  11:50pm
Joe:

well, fail.


WHO WILL BE NUMBER ONE?!?!?!?!
  11:52pm
efd:

Sybil, you'll have to believe me that those segues were completely coincidental. There's actually a song on the #1 album that would be the perfect capper to the sequence, but I'm playing a different one.

Joe, you're not thinking hard enough.
  11:58pm
Madi H:

Those Owls just get better and better.
  11:58pm
Joe:

ZOMG indeed! I was not thinking hard enough.


Excellent choice. EXCELLENT. Happy new year!
  12:01am
mark:

Thought this was Wings not Owls
  12:10am
Amanda:

I got home just in time to totally miss this whole show. Be it known that I called #1 album to myself on the train, though (really!). I have it and it is so great. HNY Evan!
