That Pretenders album has been criminally underplayed by me.

to put it lightly Amen EFD ! still sounds as fresh as it did 38 years latter now !!

The Pretenders with James and Pete was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle moments in rock music.

Super catchy this Pretty Feelings track

I knew EFD would be hip to this one sooner or later.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:43pm
efd:

sooner or later?! I've been playing it since September!
Avatar 9:43pm
Roberto:

Mein bad. It must be all the other FMU DJs what just got hip.

herb.nyc:

Greeeat songs now, "pretty feelings" is amazing. But starting with the 80s, I learned the Chills have a USandA tour in February. Shows at bell house and white eagle. Yay.

EXACTLY, Roberto! :D

I see what the problem is. This might be the first EFD show I've been awake for since September. I keep passing out on the couch when I get home from work.

Irwin played another one earlier, Sunshine & the Rain, It's All in Your Mind that's again great pop.

So that is why Rex was on last night!

Sunshine and the Rain are pretty sharp. They sound like they might be able to break out. But, what do I know?

Imagine ACR named from The True Wheel, Eno "We are the 801
We are the central shaft
Looking for a certain ratio
Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
Looking up and down the radio
Oh, oh, nothing there this time
Looking for a certain ratio"

exactly right, Aitch!

Eno had his fingers in everything, even if just by sheer influence. Makes we want to Do the Strand.

Daybreak, the Human:

Enjoy the seasonal Fairytale of NY w/ Pouges, but nice to hear KM in other ways. So many greats are hidden in 1 known song.

Daybreak, the Human:

Liked Coit Tower this morning on Wake too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:05pm
efd:

@Daybreak, I think I'm the one person who doesn't like that Pogues Xmas song, which is one reason I wanted to play a different Kirsty track tonight. Glad you're enjoying it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:06pm
efd:

oh thanks!
  11:10pm

Snapped Ankles:

A:Ow!

B: Cool!
  11:13pm
Daybreak, the Human:

Thanks efd! I’m sure there are MANY fmu listeners who actually know her catalogue and the Pogues catalogue and the many for whom x-mas music is a limited catalogue that can drive any song into the ground, who feel the same. Thanks for the broadening experience!

Long neck also on the bill Friday.

That Pogues Christmas song reminds me of my awful ex-husband and I hate it very much. Love Kirsty though.

those Sadies tickets will be sweet fop somebody.. the last time i saw them was in a desolate location and the place looked like a barn anbd it must have been minus 35 degrees it was brutal cold but it was sure warm inside and packed they are so good. Wish I could remember what the place was called it was on a country road carleton place ontario its not there anymore

speaking of bagels Montreal passed a ban on wood ovens but the citizens rose up and it looks like the existing bagel shops will be exempt. power to the people
  11:35pm
steveL:

This show is all over the place in the best ways! Thanks again, efd!
  11:38pm
Kat in Chicago:

Why did Montreal ban wood ovens?
  11:38pm
Kat in Chicago:

Nice to hear this Feelies track again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:39pm
efd:

I'm guessing it was some environmental thing, because of the smoke?
  11:41pm
Kat in Chicago:

I figured, but it seems like that wouldn’t be that big of a contributor.
  11:43pm
Kat in Chicago:

I want a bagel now. With l.o.x. Hold the ants.

Mercer and Barone are playing on SATURDAY at VU.

Kat in Chicago:

Anyone here been to the Velvet Underground Experience? I found out about it late into my last visit, and it was kind of spenski so I passed. Barone and Mercer would have made it more enticing.
Avatar 11:57pm

yeah cuz of the smoke

they werent targeting bagel shops they were collateral damage but reason won out
