Evan, I can relate a bit to your situation on Wednesday a bit. I had a previously booked guest this past Monday who I adore but whose music wasn't the best fit with the mood of things outside the studio. I'm on FB and Twitter during my show and had to force myself to stay off my news feeds as much as possible. Kudos on your opening set tonight, impeccable selection.

Hello UM!

Spider Bags s/b a great show. Might have to listen to Nate live rather than archive. Although need Nate's archives for dog walking purposes!

@Kat, thanks for sharing that... it can be tough to negotiate the real and radio worlds.

Glad (some of) you enjoyed my new Southern character.

I'd like to ask Ace how "New York Groove" came to his attention.

I was wondering that too, UM. I have to assume that will be covered.

I'd also like to know how satisfying it was for his to be the only of the four solo albums to spawn a hit.

Seems like it would be somewhat of a hollow victory (if it was a victory at all) since it wasn't even his own song. Still felt good though, I bet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:26pm
Uncle Michael:

I guess it depends how early on it was understood that it would be the single. You release a single...it's a hit...a win.

  10:37pm

let's hope that efd plays more disco tonight.
  10:44pm
P-90:

I'm just guessing, but it might have been a great deal more than a "hollow victory" that they all did solo records at that point and Ace had the big hit. I remember when those albums came out, the radio very quickly decided that was the only song that was gonna get much play. I bet Ace's personal management def felt "one up" over the others'. I wonder if it really made much difference within the band that he didn't write it?
Sure thing that it's one of the things he's asked about most often, so he'll have a story about that at the ready.
  10:52pm

as you could see efd, i'm all wound up with disco, or is it the three diet cokes I drank earlier?
