Shabby Tiger! Favorite band name of the week!

dammit, this record didn't skip at all when I played it earlier

@EFD: It was saving the skip for it’s very special moment on air.

And @Stevel, that's pretty much what I thought when I came across the Shabby Tiger record in the bins.

Alex von Chicago:

Song must be about David Cameron.
  9:10pm
JakeGould:

@EFD: One of the first LPs I ever bought as a kid was the soundtrack to “The Empire Strikes Back” and—despite the fact I no longer own it—I still know exactly what cue and theme has that skip.

I don’t know about the backing vocals in “Mainstreet U.S.A.”

Barkevious, I don't think Lori & The Chameleons was one of the records I pulled out to bring tonight, sorry to say. But I'll get to it!

And I am happy to be here too. Sorry for my production snits at the beginning. Great show!

I think you bought more records in one trip to London than I did living there for a year! Wow!

@Chris M.: “my life's goal is to one day borrow $15 from EFD” If you say that in a hospital gown with an IV drip and sitting in a wheelchair, maybe that would work.

@Scott, it's a loop from "Saturday Night" by The Lordz Of Brooklyn, which itself samples "American Woman" by the Guess Who.

oh I think you're right! I didn't notice that the track list starts on the left side of the CD cover as opposed to the top of the CD cover. Thanks for the correction!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment to let you know that it's "crunch time" here at WFMU - the time when we need a little extra help in the money department, but we don't interrupt our shows on the air like we do during the yearly fundraising marathon. If you can, please take a moment to make a pledge to my show via that white box at the top left of your browser, or by just clicking on this link:
www.wfmu.org...
We'll make it worth your while with cool new t-shirts and other swag. Plus great radio, of course. Thanks!

@Danne D ah yes, another shitty product of Billy McMillan and Max McNab.

@Jeff the club was essentially expansion-level bu that predated them. Early groundwork being laid with the drafting of guys like Daneyko, MacLean, and Driver
Avatar 11:45pm
Danne D:

The Devils have a wealth of good young defensemen now. They'll be good again before you know it. But this year - I think we probably get around 70 points. Hopefully I'm wrong and they get 25 more than that.

Jeff from Rahway:

@Danne D, watching the team last year was like watching a bunch of old men skate through molasses. They got younger, I hope they can skate faster and oh...trade Travis Zajac please.
Avatar 11:52pm
Danne D:

Zajac can only get traded to a team trying to make the salary floor. And I don't believe the rumors about Toronto from that hack Chere.

Let's see how he does with a new system though.
He'll lets see how they all do (though I'd be surprised if they have a single + player this year).

Cory will be busy.
