	9:48pm Stevel: Did The Fast get much national play or exposure back in the day?

Better late than never!
	9:52pm efd: hey everyone! going crazier than usual as you can imagine - thanks for listening and commenting!
	9:53pm Holly in NC: Before y'all transition to Man 2 Man, would love to hear Coney Island Chaos, another fave :-) Also (fingers crossed) would love to hear your cover of Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart, which I've never heard, ever.

	10:56pm efd: thanks Holly, glad you're enjoying it!
	10:58pm efd: it's also a bizarre coincidence that the cover of Paul's book is almost the exact same color as my new playlist background color.

July 2, 2014: PAUL ZONE, author of Playground: Growing Up In The New York Underground, live in the studio!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Paul Zone's new book Playground: Growing Up in the New York Underground documents a transitional time in New York music history: the years when bands like The Mumps, Milk 'n' Cookies, The Miamis and The Fast were building the bridge from the glam-rock of the New York Dolls to the straight-up punk of The Ramones. A teenaged Paul Zone was the singer in The Fast; he also became the resident DJ at Max's Kansas City, and went to numerous shows at the Mercer Arts Center, CBGB, Club 82 and other soon-to-be-legendary venues. Paul Zone's photos include on-stage and off-stage shots of Blondie, Suicide, Lydia Lunch, the Dead Boys, and many others -- including, perhaps more importantly, other prominent acts of that era that remain lesser-known today. After numerous worldwide exhibits his photos are collected for the first time in this exciting new book. Tonight Paul shares the stories behind the images with WFMU listeners.
