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.

Hi everyone! Thanks for listening in, and for commenting!

Julie, did you go to Aux 33 Tours when you were up there? I got a bunch of stuff there, including all the singles.
  9:12pm
Adam in Portland:

Julie: that comes close. Get your mitts dirty; swing some iron around. :-)
  9:13pm
Julie London:

Hmm probably. If it was in Mont-Royal almost definitely. I have a great card from Le Fox Troc with Jane & Serge on it :)
  9:13pm
Julie London:

@adam swing some iron? Is that a gentle way of saying you'd like me to come by and iron your clothes
  9:15pm
Adam in Portland:

Julie: could ya? Hahaha. Just teasing. Of course not. I was just imagining you in a Godley and Creme video. Ha!

efd:

efd:

  9:58pm
cheri:

  9:59pm
Quebecois:

je me souviens!!!!!!!!!!!
  10:08pm
Doctor B.:

One of my biggest disappointments of the last 10 years was going to Sam The Record Man, the legendary 5-story palace of vinyl and polycarbonate on Yonge St. in Toronto, and finding it empty and shuttered for good. :~(
  10:17pm
Holly in NC:

I thought you said *Laibach*.
Anyway, The Paperhead is certainly an EFD worth band.. OMG - you DO know when I get home. Scary !!! Yay!!!!!!!
  10:17pm
Stevel:

We are not worthy! Thanks!
  10:17pm
Joe D:

you know there are people in CALIFORNIA who associate you with this song now, EFD
  10:19pm
E.L.:

YEEEEAH!
  10:20pm
efd:

If you all aren't worthy then I don't know who is!
  10:22pm
efd:

Doctor B, I've never been to Sam The Record Man, but it sounds like it would have been a place I'd spend all day in.

Hi Holly, E.L., Cheri, Quebecois, and everyone else!
  10:23pm
E.L.:

Thanks Canada.
  10:24pm
Holly in NC:

There are people in alternate universes who associate Evan with this song!

Y'know, for years I felt it was 'mine'., but EFC is a far, far better proselytizer than I . So, thank you again for sharing the awesomeness.
  10:24pm
efd:

I have to eat my salad now so the smell gets out of the studio before Noah gets here. Talk amongst yourselves.
  10:24pm
Amanda:

I go away for a couple of weeks and return to these all-new EFD playlist colors?!?!?!? I am not sure what to do with myself.

Nazz Nazz seems pretty good right now I have to say.

HI, E.L.!!!!!
  10:25pm
nathan lee shafer:

Got any Chilliwack?
  10:25pm
Holly in NC:

sardines?
  10:26pm
tony:

Now that's top shelf Canadian wax!
  10:32pm
E.L.:

Hey Amnazz!
  10:38pm
Holly in NC:

The Bellrays are criminally underappreciated
  10:41pm
Countach Jones:

more hook-laden Canadian jams than Paglaro's "Lovin' You Ain't Easy"—and you didn't play April Wine's Hot Chocolate cover!
  10:48pm
Joe D:

maple leaf unicode: U+1F341
  10:49pm
Holly in NC:

@ nathan lee shafer -

The Collectors!
  10:55pm
dave:

i await with bated breath the show which is just 3 hours alternating between "thirteen women" and "noisy song". that will be a great show.
  10:55pm
Stevel:

Excuse me sir. Do you have a license to rock this hard?
  10:56pm
nathan lee shafer:

@ Holly in NC

Love the Collectors! Good stuff, plus the first few Chilliwack records have parts that are quite a long way from the later AOR stuff (which I dig quite a bit anyway)
  10:56pm
efd:

dave, I like the way you think!
  10:57pm
Chuck B.:

Man, he is rockin like a hurricane!
  11:02pm
Adam in Portland:

Messthetics #108 really IS the gift that keeps on giving, init?!?!?!
  11:04pm
Holly in NC:

I agree with Adam - everything I've heard off #108 is great!
Evan, also really liked High Tension Wires & Paul Messis.
  11:13pm
Patrick:

killer tickets this week!!
  11:19pm
JMD:

lemme guess. Devastator?
  11:20pm
efd:

dingdingdingding!
  11:20pm
Doctor B.:

The guy who puts out the Messthetics series is performing a public service!
  11:21pm
Sean Daily:

I think what the artist is trying to convey - and it's very subtle, many people won't pick up on it - is devastator.
  11:21pm
efd:

Nathan, "Fly At Night" by Chilliwack has been a fave of mine since it came out. Still have the single on the Mushroom label.

Holly, agreed re Bellrays. And no, no sardines; just a regular Panera Bread salad. I think Noah's got super vinegar sensitivity.
  11:22pm
efd:

Also, I'm naming my new band Super Vinegar Sensitivity.
  11:22pm
Countach Jones:

I'm going to be seriously upset if this song is called Devastator
  11:23pm
Kat:

Seriously upset? I'll be DEVASTATED!
  11:23pm
JMD:

at first I liked it a lot. Then a little less. Then I got bored. Then it bothered me. Then I kinda came around to it. Then I really loved it again. Now it's gone. Goddammit!
  11:24pm
Holly in NC:

May I be Super Vinegar Sensitivity's first fan?

And I do empathize with Noan - if I get within 3 feet of cheap "balsamic" my gut contracts in a most unpleasant manner
  11:24pm
JMD:

thank you, Kat. Devastated.
  11:26pm
Holly in NC:

Empty Trash Bag, yes.
  11:27pm
peppiepepito:

ayah!
  11:28pm
Holly in NC:

new White Hills is seriously GREAT
  11:30pm
Kat:

Finally saw WH live - so good.
  11:30pm
efd:

Oh yes, Holly.
  11:31pm
Danne D:

Hey Everyone!

Hi Funkwuar!
  11:31pm
Danne D:

I like the font. Please keep the font, efd.
  11:31pm
efd:

Countach Jones, which Hot Chocolate song does April Wine cover again? Emma? That might hit a little too close to home for me, Hot Chocolate fan that I am.

I did pick up a couple of Pagliaro singles too, just btw.
  11:32pm
Adam in Portland:

@Holly;@EFD: sure loving what I'm hearing.
  11:32pm
Adam in Portland:

Heya, Danne D!
  11:34pm
Adam in Portland:

Saw Kid Congo in this incarnation last weekend. My hands are still charred from hand-clapping so hard! :-)
  11:34pm
Holly in NC:

And a segue into Kid Congo (melt....) ??!!!
  11:35pm
Countach Jones:

They did "Could have been a Lady"
  11:36pm
efd:

huh... OK, my curiosity is piqued, I'll have to track that down.
  11:36pm
Danne D:

Heya Adam! Hey big list of folks :)
  11:37pm
Danne D:

This show goes good with maple syrup
  11:37pm
Countach Jones:

don't go further than YouTube
  11:37pm
efd:

Danne (and everyone) - what font are you seeing? That is, does it look unusual? I specified a font but I don't know how common it is on people's computers. It's not showing up on the FMU computer, for example.
  11:38pm
G:

It's a serif font here, FWIW
  11:40pm
Holly in NC:

Pharaoh Overlord, on an EP entitled "The Battle of the Axehammer" does a song called "Mystery Shopper". Fingers hovering..should I dl? Odds on goodness?
Serif font here also (but not in chat box)
  11:40pm
Danne D:

Whatever font it is, keep specifying it, please.
  11:41pm
G:

Right, Holly -- sans serif in the message box, but then serif in the playlist and posted comments....
  11:42pm
Danne D:

Btw, I'm proud to say I snaked Aharon out of a EFDHHDYDTYFBBL pickup by getting Brandon Beachy today. It's the small victories, since there's no way I'm ever catching Trader Aharon
  11:43pm
Countach Jones:

Holly in NC: Mystery Shopper is pretty sedate compared to Devastator and is closer to Can than Judas Priest
  11:43pm
Kat:

It's all sans-serif on my crappy work computer. It's nice though.
  11:44pm
Aharon:

Oh man. I look at the message board one time and this is what I get?
  11:45pm
Sean Daily:

Holly in NC:

@Countach - thank you very much ! Impressed by your knowledge. What the heck, it's only 13 minutes of my life...
  11:47pm
Aharon:

Sean: YES!!!!

Danne D: I look forward to your extortionate demands.

EFD: See Sean, above.
  11:47pm
efd:

The primary font I specified is Rockwell, which you may recognize from AMC's on-air graphics or the NYT Magazine. Any sans-serif font is definitely a fallback. Interesting that the comments frame isn't picking that up, though.

ASCAP:

Hey Pharaoh Overlord, we pay royalties by the song, not by the word count.
  11:50pm
Aesop Rock:

@ASCAP: WHUT?!?!?! Now you tell us!
  11:50pm
ASCAP:

Sorry, doodz.
  11:51pm
Aesop Rock:

I'm spittin' as fast as I can.
  11:52pm
Danne D:

Rockwell shows up 8 times in the FMU archives. All but one being the song that you'd figure woulda been the Rockwell song that would've been played. http://wfmu.org/artistbrowser.php?action=artist&artist=Rockwell&artist_id=47073
  11:52pm
Danne D:

Not sure if we fit, tradewise, Sir Aharon. We always seem to be chasing the same players.
  11:53pm
Adam in Portland:

I'm pro-trade union.
  11:54pm
ASCAP:

Is this genre called Onnanism?
  11:55pm
Danne D:

I'm pro Adam in Portland.

Anyhow, I have to pack up :( But thanks for a great show, Evan. I've listened to a lot more of it that I've made comments for. Glad to hear that song about a certain number of females of course.

Take care everyone :)
  11:56pm
Aharon:

I know, Danne! That's why it'll be extra-poignant when Applewhite smashes into us both and destroys life as we know it.
  11:57pm
Adam in Portland:

Awww, thank you kindly, Danne D. Best to youse! Brilliant show tonight, EFD!! The three hours melted away. Love you all.
  11:57pm
Aharon:

Good night, Danne, and all bitsreamers, fontish and otherwise.
  11:58pm
Holly in NC:

@ASCAP - you are making me snort wine out of my nose, not pretty!
  11:58pm
Adam in Portland:

I've yet to bitsream, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought of it before.
  12:01am
Adam in Portland:

Rated GG.
  12:01am
ASCAP:

I bet it actually is pretty, particularly if those present to witness are suitably wine-lubricated. My gf is currently through an entire bottle of white, and threatening ravishment after a particular tv show ends presently.
  12:03am
Booch:

Thee Parkside is in San Francisco. Go EFD!!
