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.

Listener comments!

  9:03pm
john:

Hey Evan!

OK, so players pick their own songs to blast over the PA when they come to bat. But what SHOULD those songs be? Once again, I'm nominating Angel Pagan's as "Been Caught Stealing."
  9:10pm
cheri:

hello evan--please tell me if you think that you'll be on the new schedule??
  9:14pm
Stevel:

Wednesday night. My only media addiction, (beyond the general internets of course.)
  9:16pm
efd:

Hi John! I can't think of anything more suitable at the moment.

Hi Steve, at least this is a healthy addiction (I think!)

Cheri, I have no idea if I'll be on the new schedule. We're all waiting anxiously.
  9:20pm
reality check:

great start, monsieur efd.

cheri, less than three hours ago julie told you the schedule hasn't been decided yet. and you've been asking every DJ on every show you comment on for weeks that same exact question, every single show, and always getting that same truthful answer. I'M BEGGING YOU, come up with new material.
  9:23pm
12539:

The 90's are upon us!
  9:24pm
dale:

hello mr deejay man. sos band cover made me think about cherrelle, and rebbe jackson, and adele bertei and.......which made want to ask you - do you have build me a bridge? yay or nay, thnx!!
  9:25pm
Danne D:

Woohoo! It's time for the FUNK!
  9:25pm
mildred:

You are keeping tune nicely with the rumbling thunder & fading tornados here in western Massachusetts.
  9:26pm
Danne D:

Happy Hoagiefest, Evan
  9:26pm
efd:

Oh man, dale, that's part of the setlist for the next on-air Disco Dance Party, which hopefully will happen sometime over the summer!

I'll have to check the WFMU library for "Build Me A Bridge" when I have a chance.
  9:27pm
efd:

greetings, 12539! Mildred, stay safe up there!

Hi Danne, happy hoagiefest to you too!
  9:27pm
Danne D:

This starbreaker song sounds very Moody Bluesish. Julie would approve.
  9:28pm
john:

How long can you keep up the "every other song a 7"" streak?
  9:28pm
Dylan:

I just bought a copy of the sound of summer on ebay after reading your mention of it on twitter. I love this song!
  9:29pm
john:

About that long, eh.
  9:29pm
dale:

i went through a disco 12 inch 45 phase. wish i had the answer song to somebody else's guy. it's gold, I tell ya!
  9:30pm
Stevel:

Wish I had a theme song. efd gets TWO! [moping]
  9:30pm
dale:

oh, i finally get the theme. duh!! i'm looking forward to onj from grease or husky rescue
  9:33pm
Danne D:

I think Adam Warrock pretty much made it mandatory that Wednesday 9pm is time for the FUNK
  9:35pm
Joe B:

Cute Lepers Sept 1 at Knitting Factory, make your plans now!
  9:39pm
Danne D:

Mac did an awesome cover of that horrible Wildfire song back in the '07 Hoof N Mouth :)
  9:39pm
cheri:

heeey danne,,,evan i hope you don't mind me saying this but you always have a kick-ass show every week!!!! so rock on efd!!
  9:40pm
John L.:

The movie you were thinking of is "Wild In The Streets."
  9:41pm
EricBlenders:

14 or fight is from Wild In The Streets
  9:44pm
efd:

Ah ! Of course, Wild In The Streets! Thanks Eric and John, I can't believe I blanked on that.

Joe, I think they're doing another date in town also around then...? Was thinking of trying to have them on again but their tour schedule looked pretty tight.
  9:47pm
Joe B:

Looks like Boston, Brooklyn then Philly. Though if you can do daytime that Friday, not too far to Philly for them!
  9:48pm
cheri:

evan i'm always ready for your shows!!!!!
  9:48pm
Stevel:

Crispy Ambulance. First saw that name when I first saw a Throbbing Gristle single at Wax Trax in Denver, circa 78-80. Oddly enough, that name stuck in my head.
  9:53pm
Danne D:

hey cheri. I agree that Evan always does a great job picking the songs for his show.
  9:56pm
Frisco Kid:

I used to have the original issue of that Crispy Ambulance LP - perhaps I still do?
  10:00pm
Dave B:

Just checking in!
  10:01pm
Danne D:

woohoo! I have headphones on as I'm in the Starbucks :)
  10:01pm
Danne D:

READY!
  10:02pm
PhilK:

Coincidentally, I got a new pair of headphones yesterday.
  10:02pm
efd:

Hi Dave!

Frisco Kid, check your collection - maybe it's still there!

Joe, thanks - maybe I can take advantage of the summer Fridays at work and get them in!

Way to go, Danne!
  10:04pm
Danne D:

awesome :) I love when songs do this :)
  10:06pm
PhilK:

Hey Evan, how about a headphone listening themed show in the future?
  10:07pm
Danne D:

Themes are more Meghan's department I thought ;)
  10:08pm
efd:

Interesting idea, Phil! Or maybe a premium...
  10:24pm
Danne D:

This is a nifty db's song.
  10:24pm
mildred:

my faves!
  10:25pm
Joe D.:

I'm not sure how I feel about the vocals. Is that Stamey or Holsapple?
  10:26pm
efd:

Neither! It's Mr. Will Rigby.
  10:28pm
Dave B:

Gotta tap out EFD. Til next time, be well!
  10:29pm
efd:

Niters DB!
  10:34pm
Stevel:

Kvelertak might be my new, favorite Scandanavian import. Now, if I could only spell their name without looking at it three times.
  10:37pm
Danne D:

I don't smoke, but gotta admit there was something cool about the way Bun E Carlos would have the cigarette just dangle there while playing
  10:38pm
Danne D:

Blood and Satan in the same show for Evan? That's gotta be some sorta first doesn't it?
  10:38pm
Danne D:

when's doomsday? (aka schedule announcement day?)
  10:40pm
Beelzebub:

Workin' on it. That Rev. Camping was a piker.
  10:43pm
fleep:

Kvelertak (translating to English as "stranglehold" or "chokehold")
  10:45pm
Holly in NC:

Hi Evan & everyone!
Looks like a wonderful archive

@Mildred - Where exactly are you? Hope all is well.

@Beelzebub - cue Dilla, or 10cc?
  10:46pm
Beelzebub:

Your call, babe!

As for me, I'm in need of some restraint.
  10:48pm
Danne D:

Hiya Holly! Things better in your world this evening? :)
  10:49pm
cheri:

  10:50pm
Beelzebub:

  10:51pm

  10:55pm
Danne D:

Me too cheri.

Anyhow, I'll be in the car for the rest of the show - heading home to watch the probable hockey overtime. Go Canucks!
  10:55pm
Danne D:

Thanks for a great show as always Evan! Take care everyone!
  10:56pm

cheri:

evan g'night!!!
  11:01pm
Stevel:

So, any mad, genetic scientists want to reanimate the Renegades? I'd pitch in a few bucks and a Bunsen burner or two for the project.
  11:02pm
efd:

goodnight Cheri! See you back here in five minutes I bet!
  11:03pm
Holly in NC:

My inner world is at peace, Danne, thanks for asking, but my exterior being is melting in this ridiculous heat wave. Beelzebub must be practising here - B, I *am* sorry about Scotty, yeesh!

Oh, yay Renegades! ;-)
  11:04pm
Beelzebub:

might as well face it, she's addicted to funk.
  11:09pm
Joe B:

can't believe I bought both Renegades singles at the record fair last year and never played them! In my "to listen" pile from about the last 8 fairs!
  11:10pm
VY:

efd nails the Toy Boat - what CAN'T efd do?
  11:21pm
efd:

Joe, I didn't even realize they had been released before the fair!

VY- I'm just hoping no one records a song called "red leather yellow leather."
  11:24pm
Beelzebub:

I should have let the Beach Boys record "Sue Sells Sea Shells By The Sea Shore"
  11:25pm
Adam in Portland:

Motorik: what's your price for flight? Hey, EFD, great show!
  11:26pm
Stevel:

"When a fox is in the bottle where the tweetle beetles battle with their paddles in a puddle on a noodle-eating poodle, THIS is what they call...
...a tweetle beetle noodle poodle bottled paddled muddled duddled fuddled wuddled fox in socks, sir!"
  11:31pm
Holly in NC:

New Beasties an awesome surprise
  11:34pm
Julie:

Donna Summer!
  11:38pm
Stevel:

I cannot and will not go to sleep until this show is over.

(and then I will pull archives of Heros and Villans, because that show sounds AWEESOME! Then on to the Rev. HH interview in the AM.)

I'm exhausted!
  11:39pm
efd:

Steve, I'm exhausted just from reading your comment! But I appreciate you staying up til the end of my show.

Hi Julie!
  11:39pm
Adam in Portland:

R.I.P. Trav Criscola.
  11:41pm
Julie:

  11:46pm

  11:47pm
DJ TM5 / Pete:

  11:47pm
Stevel:

Nice, nice, nice.
  11:47pm
efd:

Ambulance Man was by the Cute Lepers, although I have to admit I didn't notice a baby sample.
  11:49pm
DJ TM5 / Pete:

I just realized something. My tuner was not picking up 91.1 It was actually picking up WNYC. :(
  11:51pm
efd:

aha! I didn't think I heard a baby sample in anything I played. :)

Adam, yeah, so sad about Trav. He wasn't playing with them when they came through here the last time but it was still a shock to hear that news.

  11:59pm
