Hey, Lamin got your name right!

efd:

Lamin knows what's up.
  9:06pm
Jorge:

Oh man, haven't heard Ladytron in ages. Forgot how much I dug 'em. Thanks efd!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:07pm
efd:

Jorge, I had the exact same thought last night!
  9:07pm
G:

Not this show's genre, but the death of Earl Scruggs just hit the newswires...
  9:09pm
Ajax:

Starting w/the '70s?
  9:09pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

Hey hey EFD! I'll chime in with my love for Ladytron, too. Good band, and then I inevitably think of the Roxy Music song, so bonus points.
  9:10pm
Thierry:

Hi Evan! Trying to solve insomnia, but lost tonight. But, some good aspects come along with it..
  9:11pm
Destroit:

hello efd and all the good people. glad to be listening!
  9:12pm
Jorge:

Efd's got the party pumpin' tonight.
  9:15pm
Ajax:

Oh I missed Calhoon, sorry!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:16pm
efd:

Greetings Ajax, Jorge, Thierry, Wendy, Destroit, G and everyone else! Thanks for tuning in tonight!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:16pm
efd:

G, I would look to Mr. The Spazz, perhaps, to play some Earl Scruggs tomorrow evening. Sad news.
  9:17pm
Destroit:

Big Who fan. Every Who fan I know hates this song. I like it, no idea why, nor does it matter.
  9:18pm
SteveL:

Long time since I've listened to The Who. This is such a cool song, and this helps make that point. I'm guessing Townsend did the keys?
  9:18pm
Danne D:

People Forget!
They Forget they're hiding!
  9:18pm
G:

Yep, the Beverly Hillbillies theme doesn't always segue too well into or out of Eminence Front
  9:19pm
Danne D:

(this song mostly applies to aged mafia bosses)
  9:19pm
steve:

what is goin on here? is this really the who?
  9:20pm
Danne D:

Just took the Jeopardy! online test - think I came up short :( mad that I missed some gimmees. Though I didn't study at all for it and actually felt good on some of em
  9:20pm
Danne D:

In other news - greetings everyone!

Anyone interested in buying a spare catcher?
  9:21pm
G:

@steve: someone isolated just the keys part of the song, for your listening pleasure
  9:21pm
Danne D:

And Congrats to EFD - after that draft he's going to smash all of us in the league :(
  9:22pm
SteveL:

@steve: "The backing track for live performance." Check the link. Pretty darned cool.
  9:22pm
Danne D:

@G they should do that for "I Ran" by a Flock of Seagulls
  9:22pm
steve:

thanks G.! thats totally awesome
  9:23pm
motorhead/girlschool. ep:

I am the best record ever.
  9:23pm
Destroit:

Outstanding suggestion Danne.
  9:23pm
PB:

Townshend was a genius, but that was many, many years ago.
  9:25pm
G:

it looks like a tech/boardop would trigger that keyboard part at the right moment in a Who setlist, and the live (?) Who would play the rest of the song over it
  9:27pm
SteveL:

@Danne D.: You're just jealous that Mr. Seagull, (I forget his name.) only needed ONE FINGER to make that remarkable music!
  9:27pm
Danne D:

Since the 2nd half of Lamin's show was technically a fill in for Rupture did he give the customary "Evan Davies Funk Show" intro?
  9:28pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Mike Score. Ick.
  9:28pm
Danne D:

with horns to get ya going and bass to bump your trunk!
  9:28pm
Danne D:

@SteveL not true - sometimes that finger got tired and he had to switch to a different finger
  9:30pm
G:

Their tech was the Keith Emerson of the sequencer.
  9:31pm
12539:

@Danne, no, Lamin got it right. He knows better than that JD Rupture guy.
  9:32pm
Lawyer:

Tupture, J.D.?
  9:34pm
Cubicle Carl:

That's still cool because if you actually see the Who in concert, it's pretty much performed by guys who are not really in the Who.
  9:35pm
Danne D:

@12539 I think it's part of Rupture's charm :) I suspect it was a mistake the first time or two and now it's more of an inside joke :)
  9:36pm
Marmalade Kitty:

I always opened archives with the 128k mp3 under i tunes. recently it is starting with quicktime. does anyone know why this might be?
  9:38pm
Jorge:

Marmalade - have you updated quicktime recently? A recent update might have associated that file type with quicktime by default.
  9:39pm
G:

@Carl: They outsourced all that detailed playing to cheap-working rockers from Mumbai.
  9:40pm
Marmalade Kitty:

thanks jorge, no I haven't..
  9:41pm
Dave B:

Sorry I'm tardy to the party. Was getting all OCD on my library...

MKitty - if rocking OS X try:

All you have to do, is select a file in the Finder and ‘Get Information’ (cmd + i or right-click > Get Info or cmd + click > Get Info) for it. Then toggle the ‘Open with…’ option and choose the proper application.

To make sure that every file of that type (every php file for example) uses the new application, make sure you choose that option below the application drop down box (it may be grayed out until you’ve chosen an alternate application from the current default
  9:41pm
Mike East:

Good evening, everyone
  9:41pm
Marmalade Kitty:

I know what it is someone was messing with my pc settings.. don't you just hate that!
  9:44pm
Marmalade Kitty:

Danne what is OS X?I hate quick time..
  9:44pm
Dave B:

fer windows, check this.

Barkevious Shabazz:

Cronin kicks ass.
  9:50pm
Cubicle Carl:

Wrong Words have that late 70's/early 80's indie single thing going on.
  9:50pm

  9:57pm
Danne D:

Yay Adam Warrock :)
  9:57pm
Marmalade Kitty:

how can i change from quicktime to itunes?
  9:59pm
Thierry:

Adam Warrock always awesome! Automatic adrenaline. (lots of A's here..) Is he mainstream, famous, in the US?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02pm
efd:

Thierry, not yet! :D
  10:02pm
Marmalade Kitty:

I hate my pc right now!
  10:07pm
Danne D:

*sigh* my guesstimate is that I got about 30/50 right on my Jeopardy test :( no way that's good enough :(
  10:07pm
Marmalade Kitty:

I'm sorry.. my hissy fit..
  10:09pm
Winston:

@Danne Man's time is done. Hahahahaha!
  10:11pm
Danne D:

I don't get the reference Winston. Probably why I didn't pass the Jeopardy! test this time. Considering I did zero prep though I did reasonably well I think.
  10:12pm
Watson:

My name is Watson, you impostor. What's your real name, nutjob? HAL? :-P

Wilson:

@Winston - "Tastes good, like a good cigarette should"
  10:17pm
Danne D:

yay Keili :)
  10:18pm
Watson:

Winston tastes bad
Like the one I just had
No filter, no flavor
They use toilet paper

Yes, sing Daisy for me, "Winston," while I pull these memory sticks out.
  10:19pm
Danne D:

@Wilson - "He Kept Us Out Of War"

(in the first term anyway)
  10:22pm
Earl of Wilton:

you rang?
  10:23pm
Stilton:

Lotta cheesy humor here.
  10:25pm
Piltdown:

Embarrassing, isn't it, Winston?
  10:25pm
Rush Limburger:

@Stilton - that stinks....
  10:27pm
Amanda:

Yay Explorers Club!

Hi EFD and everybody!
  10:28pm
Cubicle Carl:

explorers club vocalist sounds like Carl Wilson
  10:28pm
Danne D:

Seems I can derail the comments board barely trying now!

And here's Amanda to save the day :) Yay :)
  10:29pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

Hi Amanda!
I love this Explorers Club song. It's what I consider to be a perfect pop song. And with that I'm going to sleep. Goodnight everyone! :-)
  10:29pm
Potent Potables:

Mmmmmmm. Cheese.
  10:30pm
Amanda:

I am always on message. Caught the Explorers Club at Maxwell's a few weeks ago (Evan was at Hoof & Mouth practice) and they killed it!
Wendy -- miss you, and hi!
  10:32pm
john:

Hey Evan! This is way better than the fake Bobby Kennedy "Wild Thing!" Play ball!
  10:33pm
Danne D:

G'night Wendy :)
  10:33pm
john:

Oh come on, is it possible to have enough of fake interview records?
  10:33pm
Danne D:

Wow - hearing this now I want to hear "Energy Crisis"
  10:34pm
Rob in Maryland:

I agree with John at 10:32.
  10:35pm
Danne D:

Dickie Goodman in 1974 - probably the most famous one :) Energy Crisis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaPqzgTc9OE
  10:36pm
john:

Good stuff, but better known than Mr Jaws?
  10:37pm
Holly in NC:

Hi Evan & all! Looks like a great show!
@Danne - I still have my very, very scratchy Energy Crisis 45" :-)
  10:38pm
Danne D:

@John Energy Crisis is the one I remember and given that I was 4 when it came out I think that says a lot :)
  10:38pm
Sybil:

Good Wednesday evenimg!


I hate my current schedule. There. i said it.
  10:39pm
Marmalade Kitty:

great set there, efd!!!
  10:39pm
Danne D:

bye Sybil :)
sorry your schedule is bad :(
  10:40pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Where will the Dickinson Goodman of tomorrow could? De
  10:41pm
john:

Danne, it sure does! And hi Sybil!
  10:44pm
Danne D:

Guess you're right John, based on sales, but I'll always think of Energy Crisis first in that regard (probably enhanced by the fact that he did another version in '79)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickie_Goodman
  10:44pm
john:

I think the voice of Bobby Kennedy on Wild Thing was actually Teddy. And what condiments do you use in a ticket salad sandwich, anyway? Sounds awfully soggy.
  10:45pm
Danne D:

I'm a big fan of John Wesley Harding the 1st
  10:47pm
Ticket Salad:

I am very high in non-nutritive fiber, specifically the cellulose in cardboard. There are also some useful trace minerals in certain shades of ink.
  10:47pm
Danne D:

Um, goner site says this is by John Wesley Coleman ?

efd:

ehh, coleman, harding, whatever! :}

(thanks for the catch!)
  10:53pm
Danne D:

So I've corrected a Petty about a NASCAR question and EFD about a record now in the same month. Somehow I feel good about neither. Next stop - correcting Santa Claus.
  10:54pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Wilder, the forgotten, far superior of the 2 Teardrops albs. Cheers EFD!

John Wesley Coleman just shot a man just fer snorin'
  10:56pm
Carolyn:

I love The Normals. Thanks Evan.
  10:58pm
Marmalade Kitty:

the show just gets better , efd! I didn't resolve the quicktime issue, will look into that at a more sensible hour! As for now, just chilling out with a glass of wine some late food and tunes :D
  10:59pm
Thierry:

Came back to my memory the line 'To bunt or not to bunt, that is the question'. Yesterday, I was searching on the Internet for the whole Baseball/Hamlet monologue, and could not find anything. Any clue anybody?

Hey Carolyn, my pleasure! And hi to Barkevious, Holly, Sybil, john, M. Kitty, Rob, Wendy, Amanda, Carl, Joe B., Dave B., Mike East, and all!
  11:01pm
Danne D:

Of course Evan can make up for the error by playing some John Wesley Harding :) (who actually has a new album that was recently released)

Tellin' ya EFD - Brain Salad Surgery (the song)
  11:12pm
Marmalade Kitty:

I always get a windows message prompt; file download: open or save? (name wfmu.pls... type:PLS Audio Playlist, 124 bytes... from:www.wfmu.org) and so on..

I'm sure theres a simple solution :)
  11:15pm
Danne D:

Thought about going for those English Beat tickets - but I think I will leave them to a more deserving winner
  11:15pm
Danne D:

@MK - I always use itunes if I have to go pls (like for Amanda's show)
  11:17pm
Parq:

Sorry to just drop in like this, but this Stevie cover is grabbing me by the collar and shaking me.
  11:19pm
12539:

@MK: Sounds like you are using Explorer. Firefox lets you choose iTunes at that prompt window. Explorer makes you go several layers into the settings menus and set defaults.
  11:20pm
Thierry:

@glenn - yes, thanks glenn, sth like this humor, but I did not here the line, nor the monologue. Maybe it never existed but for the first few lines. It's already funny though, and I can imagine even more for you guys raised on Shakespeare.
  11:22pm
Marmalade Kitty:

@Danne, I'm safest with itunes! @12539: yes, you're right
  11:28pm
Holly in NC:

I LOVE THE FIRST PSYCH FURS LP!!!! XOXOXOXO
  11:29pm
Parq:

The blasting first Furs album. Has anyone ever counted the number of times the word "stupid" pops up on this album?
  11:30pm
Danne D:

Did The Fall ever do a song called "The Psychadelic Furs"?
  11:30pm
SteveL:

Great f-ing album. Great. Can't remember how many times I listened to this tape while traveling, driving in town, anywhere.
  11:31pm
Holly in NC:

2FER? I love EFD! XOXOXO
