  11:18pm
Joe:

I know where ROCK lives! I sent him a letter, but he didn't answer... so I went to ROCK's house, but he wasn't home, so I called ROCK's cell phone number, and left him a voicemail... and then I ran into ROCK later at the store, and I was like Yo, ROCK, whats the deal, man? And he was like, dude, you gotta chill. And I was all like, whatever.
  11:18pm
New York 104.3:

I'm where ROCK was embalmed and kept on a slab.
  11:20pm
efd:

hi everyone! keep the comments coming, i am in my usual start-of-show tizzy...
  11:20pm

Cool-the second best Don Dixon song ever (first would be February Ingenue).!
  11:21pm
randy in NC:

The girls will be dancing this weekend...
  11:21pm
WPIX:

I'm where ROCK was tied up, taken away, and held for ransom, only when they finally showed up with the ransom, I'd fallen asleep....
  11:22pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

thirty years later--I still miss you WPIX
  11:24pm
randy in NC:

Me too. WPIX was good for about a year or so back then (The PIX Penthouse Party!)
  11:25pm
efd:

me three! there's a guy who's been in touch with me off and on over the past few years who's working on a book about WPIX - in fact, he sent me a message a couple of weeks ago that I need to reply to. Will, if you're out there, my apologies!
  11:25pm
Sybil:

And oh, what a year it was!

And a moment of silence, please, for Rock's In Your Head...

OK, a moment of ROCK. Whatever.
  11:26pm
bob:

  11:28pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

efd:

  11:32pm
the final countdown:

best/worst cover version ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjeMDvCdrtc
  11:33pm
Laurie:

Is that a HOAGIEFEST ringtone?
  11:33pm
?:

hoagiefest ringtones!
  11:35pm
G:

Sounds like a reply of that 11-10 Baltimore come from behind game against Boston I was at around July 1st, another Papelbon choke... Not good, their gag reflex is getting a little too comfortable...
  11:35pm
G:

replay, blech
  11:37pm
Lang:

That TOM comp. was truly, truly mind blowing. I almost cried. I actually did cry.
  11:39pm
Lang:

YES!!! REIGNING SOUND!!! EFD ! YOU ARE KILLING IT TONIGHT!
  11:43pm
The Troggs:

Blimey, That Ain't Us!
  11:44pm
efd:

another one for the "songs that have the same title as another song but aren't that song" theme show,
  11:45pm
anemone:

Crushed Butler sounds like Jesse Hector.
  11:45pm
efd:

thanks Lang and all for your comments! and yes, that *was* a hoagiefest ringtone. what of it?!
  11:45pm
Sybil:

You're keeping a list, efd, I hope?
  11:45pm
efd:

anemone, sharp ears - he was the singer!
  11:46pm
efd:

Sybil, I thought *you* were keeping the list!
  11:47pm
anemone:

wow! i'd never heard of them . will start by googling them i suppose.
  11:48pm
Laurie:

I was listening to Love Is All the other day, and I realized who the lead signer of Love Is All sounds like. Kristen Wiig doing Björk.
  11:50pm
Amanda:

OK, very cute with Love is All/Love Is All Around Me. I will wait to hear "Love Is All Around," the Mary Tyler Moore theme.
  11:51pm
Love:

how the heck did I ever get to be "around"?
  11:54pm
Laurie:

Oh, I can put this song on a mixtape next to "Patrick Swayze Christmas"
  11:54pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

Why it's Art Brut/The Fall meets the Stranglers!
  11:56pm
DBinNYC:

The origin of Reveen and Patrick Swayze...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Niq9jWIsHY8
  11:56pm
efd:

[puts away the art brut cd he was about to cue up]
  11:59pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

No no play more Art Brut--that's not a bad thing!
  11:59pm
anemone:

no efd! i want to hear that art brut song about chocolate milk!
  12:01am
Laurie:

I've seen the drummer for the Hex Dispensers naked.
  12:02am
Sybil:

Laurie, I've been waiting all my life for someone to say that.
  12:02am
Joe:

Seconded on the chocolate milk song.

Aw now I'm thirsty.
  12:04am
Amanda:

So, wait, are we going to hear The Fall or not?

Be it known that that Cosmos song was pretty.
  12:05am
Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD & all-- did you see that clip from the old British TV show the Tube on Youtube--"A night out in New York" from 1983? They go to Danceteria, the Roxy and the Paradise Garage
  12:06am
efd:

i'll play Art Brut in a bit - I was already thinking it was too obvious a mix, so that's why I changed my mind so readily. Maybe the Fall, too, but people seem to want the chocolate.
  12:08am
DBinNYC:

Quick question when you have a sec - whats the bed track you use when speaking?
  12:10am
coalhard:

ޑޔ ރއޑ
  12:10am
G:

Lordz of Brooklyn sampling Guess Who "American Woman" guitar solo bits...
  12:13am
coalhard:

i said" eat me" earlier--kidding!!-playing with character map
  12:18am
Joe:

G forgot to mention the song title is "Saturday Night Fever"

here is a youtube video of the song, as featured on Beavis and Butthead. (with commentary)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFwUrx44_gs
  12:23am
Jericho:

What's the title of this song?
  12:24am
coalhard:

i listen to every college station in the world--including iraq--the only competition tonite is a station in calif--kdvs--but you are beating them
  12:26am
Amanda:

Too few college stations play any of My Aim is True.
  12:27am
john:

Belated "hey evan!"...time difference getting in the way tonight, as is the hotel's wifi...cool-looking playlist, though!
  12:28am
efd:

Jericho, I think the song you were asking about was " a call to arms" by black ice.
coalhard, KDVS is the alma mater of our own Liz Berg, so that's high praise!
Joe and G, thanks for the bed music assist!
  12:28am
coalhard:

there is a neat radio station in north korea ksdt--which by the way a station in san diego called ksdt
  12:29am
randy in NC:

FMU isn't a college station (hasn't been for a while).
  12:29am
efd:

hey John!
Michael, if you're still out there this is kind of a belated fullfillment of a request of yours from a few weeks ago.
  12:30am
john:

Perfect timing, though, it all kicks in just in time for the Brothers Johnson...stomp!
  12:31am
Sybil:

You will never guess who is pitching for the Dodgers right now... OMG
  12:32am
efd:

yo-yo??

I bet John could guess... or just turn on his tv.
  12:33am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Damn, I stepped out for a few minutes (had to deliver mail to my rock star neighbor who's just back from tour)
  12:34am
?:

>> FMU isn't a college station (hasn't been for a while).

I thought this was a high school radio station?
  12:34am
Sybil:

Nope, the Nats DFA'd yoy-yo. I'm disconsolate.

It was Mark Loretta!
  12:34am
john:

I was going to have to guess because I can't figure out the $%#@$ing TV here. Did get to the game Sunday, though--beautiful day for the Doggers to get blown out!
  12:36am
Sybil:

The Dodgers are down 10-0 (though they've outhit the Cards) in the bottom of the 8th, brought out Loretta for the last out. He did good.
  12:38am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Hey EFD--how're your drums?
  12:39am
Sybil:

And that's it for the Dodgers.

Time for chocolate milk!
  12:39am
Naomi:

Are you coming to Chicago? If not, I need a special song.
your choice. i'm missing my old friends really bad.
  12:39am
G:

totally brut-al!
  12:40am
Laurie:

EFD, get outta there! That rumbling isn't from a garbage chuck, it's Murder Ape fucking shit up in the record library.
  12:40am
Laurie:

And if I listen very closely, I can hear chocolate milkshake, but it still mostly sounds like John Belushi to me.
  12:41am
Art Brut:

DC Comix and a Murder Ape
  12:41am
randy in NC:

efd- Make sure you avoid DC at rush hour!
  12:42am
AP Mike:

I thought it was Evan.
  12:43am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Virginia at Rush Hour is no picnic either
  12:43am
milt:

i guess this is a popular song to cover
  12:44am
coalhard:

rapid chat is hurting my brain--which is soaking in a vat of beer---im seeing a lot of bubbles!!
  12:46am
dogboy:

any chance of some ramones .....
  12:47am
efd:

NAOMI!!! No Chicago, Chapel Hill only, Wish you could be there!
Randy, I think I'll graze the beginning of DC rush hour, unfortunately, but there's no avoiding it I'm afraid.
Michael, drums are sounding good! Here are some pics so everyone can admire them! ;) http://tinyurl.com/efddrums
  12:48am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Were the drums a Craigslist purchase?
  12:49am
dogboy:

fuck the drums ,,,,play some ramones
  12:50am
efd:

not the most effective requesting technique, dogboy.
  12:52am
dogboy:

alright im sorry....pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee
  12:52am
Craigslist:

FYI, despite rumors to the contrary drums cannot be listed under Erotic Services
  12:52am
naomi:

Is it a Cosmopolitains reunion? we need to catch up. maybe a different method. yes, kids, i knew the dj when he used to play the drums. in the cosmopolitains.
  12:54am
efd:

ack! We shall speak no more about this in this venue! Different method plz!
  12:55am
Danne D:

Never good to say "fuck the drums" to a drummer (especially one as skilled at the craft as efd).

Evening friends. Evan, thanks for affording me the chance to sing Costello in my car without digging through my CD collection :) (Elvis is about one of 4 acts that fall in my limited vocal range)

Busy message board with the usual collection of quality posters - greetings all!

And EFD, alas I almost had the prize of first for but 1 night but I seemed to never (even temporarily) catch the Goober man.
  12:55am
tee hee:

ut oh!
  12:55am
Laurie:

I think Nick Andopolis might have tried fucking his drums once or twice.
  12:56am
Danne D:

(was typing my drum reference coincidental to the other post EFD - sorry about continuing that line of thought)
  12:57am
john:

Is that the real reason Nick's dad took them away?
  12:57am
random comments quotient:

increasing, increasing! danger, will robinson!
  1:00am
john:

Anyone remember The Leyton Buzzards? That's who Art Brut reminds me of. I Don't Want To Go To Art School! No Dry Ice Or Flying Pigs! Have I already said that?
  1:02am
schoolmarm:

you people behave, or i am calling the principal down here
  1:02am
Sybil:

I don't know if you've said it before, John, but it was a welcome note of sanity right at that particular moment.
  1:02am
Laurie:

I love the Lucksmiths so much.
  1:03am
dogboy:

pleasee play some ramones from the 80s
  1:03am
efd:

  1:04am
Danne D:

  1:04am
coalhard:

i'm good
  1:05am
G:

sanity, it has its advantages on occasion ...
  1:05am
Sybil:

And, What Laurie said.
  1:06am
dogboy:

its been 30 years since highway to hell came out ...damn it make me fell old ...i remember havin it on 8track!!!
  1:06am
8 track:

i used to be somebody. i coulda been a contender.
  1:07am
efd:

dogboy, honestly the main reason i'm hesitating on the ramones is that i feel like i just played them pretty recently. and 80s ramones, at that.
  1:07am
dogboy:

aghhhhhhhh screw it i put on a ramones cd here ....
  1:07am
Danne D:

I remember the Quad Preacher at the U of Illinois beltin' out Highway to Hell as he tried to "save" us.

Enjoying this set Evan :)
  1:12am
coalhard:

  1:22am
coalhard:

  1:24am
Laurie:

Get it right, he's a comic book character. Eddie Argos would look down on your, DJ Funktual.
  1:25am
Laurie:

Are you sure you're not DJ Funktual? You both love your kitties and funky Scottish music.
  1:26am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Re Lucksmiths--you are correct sir
  1:26am
dogboy:

this music sucks shit......play something good christ
  1:26am
Spellcheck McSpellchecky:

There's an "o" in Silver Surfer?
  1:26am
Danne D:

The concept of Evan having a superhero alter-ego is very appealing and makes intuitive sense.
  1:27am
efd:

dogboy, I thought you were listening to the Ramones.
  1:27am
Laurie:

Danne D:

  1:32am
Michael from the Left Coast:

doesn't hold a candle to the original
although nicely reinvented as a two part male female conversation
  1:32am
Danne D:

Susanna Hoffs *sigh*
  1:35am
Laurie:

I somehow knew some Tinted Windows was coming.
  1:35am
efd:

Michael, agreed.
And Danne, also agreed!
  1:37am
Danne D:

um, holy crap Susanna Hoffs is 50(!)
  1:39am
Sybil:

She's just entering her prime, Danne.
  1:40am
Michael from the Left Coast:

  1:41am
Danne D:

semi stalkerish sites with like way too many paintings of susanna hoffs: http://www.susannahoffs.co.uk/

(freudian slip - almost put pantings instead of paintings)
  1:42am
coalhard:

liked pantings better
  1:43am
Laurie:

I saw Quintron recently. I didn't know Mr. Quintron was a crossdresser. You go, girl.
  1:44am
Sybil:

Danne D:

  1:48am
remote diagnosis:

  1:50am
coalhard:

  1:50am
Danne D:
