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.

  10:42pm
A.T.F.:

If you lift your head up and look outside the moon is beautiful...
  10:44pm

Not surprised to hear Bozzio described as 'brainy'. Not many dumb people played with Zappa.
  10:45pm
Julie M:

Thank you, A.T.F. Very nice moon.

I'd like to see John Doe
  11:24pm

Ok, efd, Restricted Code? Did you grab it for the drummer?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm

I didn't! And to be honest I didn't even notice the drumming just now, will have to re-listen later when I'm less distracted.
  11:36pm

Hey Evan, How about a disco dance party meetup?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:43pm

I'm not opposed to that idea, but I'll be here so I can't really facilitate it I don't think.
