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.

November 16, 2011: JERRY SHIRLEY interview! Plus a whole lot of Humble Pie and related music!
Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
Earlier this year, legendary Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley called in to the Evan "Funk" Davies show -- at 3am UK time! -- to share some memories of his friend and bandmate Steve Marriott on the 20th anniversary of Marriott's death. Jerry's fascinating autobiography, Best Seat In The House: Drumming In The '70s with Marriott, Frampton and Humble Pie (Rebeats/Hal Leonard), has just been released and we're happy to welcome him back to the WFMU airwaves for a more extensive interview! In addition to spending his late teens and early 20s with The Pie, one of rock & roll's first supergroups, Jerry played on Syd Barrett's solo records and did sessions with John Entwistle, B.B. King, Sammy Hagar and Badfinger's Joey Molland, among others. Jerry will be sharing stories from his remarkable career behind the kit, and EFD will be spinning plenty of Humble Pie and other related records. Don't miss this! And come out to meet Jerry (along with fellow drumming legend Carmine Appice!) at the book release party on Thursday Nov. 17 at the Cutting Room, 44 E. 32nd St in NYC. |

Hope I didn't miss all the slices of Pie. Luckily there's always seconds (and thirds) in the archives!

@Julie - are you familiar with the post-Syd 'lost' soundtrack to Zabriskie Point (aka 370 Yards)? I just discovered, and like....and I am not the hugest post-Syd Floyd fan

Holly, have not heard that but sounds like something I should check out!
Hi Danne!
Holly in NC:
@Julie - ask me how many morose adolescent moments I spent listening to 'Wish You Were Here".... almost as much as 'Behind Blue Eyes' & 'Reign o'er Me' or (Rush alert!) Caress of Steel or....
anyway, once I was less angsty I got into Meddle.
And of course I went to that silly light show, which, um, I don't really remember!

BTW - Numero's Eccentric Soul Revue is playing in Durham this Saturday! I'll miss the show, but Numero folks are going to be spinning 45s at my housemate's bar later in the evening - how cool is that? Anyone in the area should come out
