Hi Evan & friends! Great opening set.
I believe are *all* of us are special guests ;-)
FYI, my friend Gary recently interviewed Adam WarRock http://bit.ly/Qulzqu
Off to drive a dog to our neighborhood park, to walk & poop (dog only pooping, I hasten to add), back asap. Dog won't poop in her own huge, fenced-in, dog-friendly yard, & likes car rides. Is what it is.

DELORIS TELESCOPE!!
I was going to mention Kacy "DJ Clay Pigeon" Ross is the frontman, but Evan has already pointed that out! Thank you!

True, if cats and dogs remember something a certain way, they always insist on it being that way!

Woah. Surprising revelation.
Pretty fabulous though. Clay is great.

i look away for a few minutes and miss a band featuring clay pigeon!? gah

Damn I heard it but didn't read about it being Clay :)

"Gah" is right! Fortunately "Archives" are also right! :)
  9:52pm
Danne D:

EFD has to play another Deloris Telescope track for us laggards and clueless ;o) (not really - it's his show after all) :)

oh, that was my first comment all night! Hi everyone! Thanks for listening and commenting, it's always appreciated!
(Listening and not commenting is also appreciate you, I just don't know you're there to appreciate.)

Kenzo (lastever.org):

Evan, I've a radio show at 1am (elsewhere), and I'm fortunate that yours ends at midnight that I might repurpose a song or two from yours.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:56pm
efd:

excellent, Kenzo, please do! And feel free to share the location of your 1am show. Don't worry, Mary Wing will never see it. :)
  9:57pm
EL:

I can't keep up with Mr. Pollard anymore. My wallet is broken. He's still an inspiring fellow.
  9:59pm
Danne D:

Hope that Kenzo directs us to this radio show at some point such as he sees fit :) (and hopefully to archives of same)

Ken's Last Ever... ('zo):

Hi! I take happy popular music the likes of which beings like yourself might feature, and transform them in a live sound collage the likes of which a being like myself can make more sense of the oddly linear-seeming world.
Currently bi-weekly on WTJU, info here:

Whoa. Someone cleaned up at the Scritti Politti garage sale.
  10:08pm
Danne D:

Great thanks Kenzo :) will have to check it out and hope others do the same
  10:09pm
EL:

This is my new struttin' song. It sounds like a Bukaroo Bonzai song.
  10:10pm
steve:

is the melody from this song taken from something else?
  10:11pm
steve:

i know it is. this is gonna drive me nuts!
  10:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ruckus Roboticus! So over the top, so great!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:12pm
efd:

Steve, yes, I was just writing a comment about that. That Boney M song is hilarious to me because it totally swipes the melody of "I Can't Stand The Rain" without giving any credit, and it's called "Sample City."
  10:14pm
steve:

yes! thank you evan. that would have driven me crazy for probably at least all of tomorrow...
  10:15pm
Joe D.:

wonder what Missy Elliot thinks of all that

HAPPY ONE DAY AFTER YOUR BIRTHDAY JOE D.!

(Thanks, EL, for reminding me to use Buckaroo Bonzai theme!)
  10:18pm
Holly in NC:

My lord I love this Ruckus Roboticus song! So glad Scooter was more than happy to rush home for chicken/yam treat & the Olympics! ;-)
@MKitty & Matt - Scooter is a wee bit ocd, but also sweet as heck & missing her full-time humans immensely. Good dog.
Ooh, like Dark Day, too!
  10:21pm
Destroit:

hello everyone, happy to be here.
  10:21pm
Danne D:

s'up Destroit.

So this is a little off topic - you ever go to that pawn shop?
  10:21pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hello Destroit, hello again Holly!
  10:21pm
john:

Chicken and yams cast a nearly hypnotic influence over a little dog round these parts as well. Sometimes he'll lie in front of his bowl between meals just in case some materializes.
  10:22pm
EL:

Good on ya, Kenzo. Rock it.
  10:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

Extended Version--because we can HANDLE the truth!!
  10:24pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Let's hear it for Lust/Unlust swingin' oldsters!

Destroit:

Haha, no Danne, never been.

Holly in NC:

Hey Barkevious. so cool you have original lp too!
Hey Destroit! Danne ! John & hypnotized little dog! Matt x2!
  10:27pm
Danne D:

Was curious :) figured maybe we could look for you on an episode ;o)
  10:28pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Let's hear it for American Jewelry and Pawn.
  10:28pm
Michele Diamond:

yay LA!
  10:28pm
Danne D:

EFD - Mark Firdrych's birthday is coming up (8/14) - hope you play "1976" then :) (Destroit's presence reminded me of this). Just a thought :)

  10:34pm
Destroit:

the Bird - Freedom of '76 would be a good fit
  10:40pm
Holly in NC:

Evan, this is a particularly sweet show. You're in your zone.
  10:43pm
Holly in NC:

Would your zone possibly include Jim Carroll? His birthday today.
  10:43pm
Danne D:

Now if EFD played a song about Ripken, he'd be in the Cal Zone! ;o)
  10:45pm
SteveL:

That's not OCD, you've got rhythm!
  10:45pm
Holly in NC:

Oh, Danne. Wow. Just wow.
  10:45pm
Danne D:

At some point EFD should discuss how John and Aharon are just schooling everyone in the Happy How Do You Do To You Fantasy Baseball League :)
  10:47pm

Hova had an awesome show :)

Hey Ajax! Those guys are your buds, right?

Danne, I think that discussion would appeal to a very, very limited audience.
  10:50pm
Holly in NC:

@Ajax -
Agreed, I love when a song makes me laugh out loud!
  10:54pm
Danne D:

@EFD yep - but they should get props mid-season :)
  10:57pm
Michele:

how about Richard Lloyd Misty Eyes! Taking requests Evan?

Speaking of records in heavy rotation, this (Mighty) Wah album (A Word To The Wise Guy) in 1984. Played it to dust, I vaguely recall...

@Holly: I know, they are not a like. still I mix the names up, which is the weird part, because I can tell them apart.
  11:42pm
the glowing one:

it's like one of those things that you have once learned wrong, and can't get rid off. sometimes I wish there was just one band... Jesus & the Bunnymen.
  11:42pm

I keep expecting him to come back to earth, but then again I have Bryce Harper in my other league, so I would.

YOU try opening for Hussy and Ian Asshat.
