(Greeeeeat 1st song. Don't know it. Which is usual for me.). Hi EFD et al. Ya know, I danced during last wk's Disco show, but then tripped during the Beatles medley (damn Beatles!). And guess what? I tore a ligament in my foot & fractured some metatarsals (btw, what happened to Chris T? Same thing? Wasn't he in that famous nj disco band in '80s, the Night-A-Lipsticks? ). But I'm ok, and I think my ears will be able to listen to music more sharply, to compensate for my foot's immobility. (Actually, car hit me, but not hard. I'm ok, though had to miss Royal Headache and Nick Garrie; sorry to bring on crap. Now, plz rock out with your feet out!)

Greetings efd & all! Looking forward to a great show. Will be quietly listening via phone.

If you would, please take a moment to give a silent toast to my cat Bitty (my avatar), who passed away very suddenly yesterday morning. She was a very special girl and much, much loved.

Hope your metatarsals will be soothed by Doc Davies. Been there - 10 week recovery. Sorry, man.

@herb.nyc: So the injury came from a car hitting you? Hope you are doing better but I would hate to equate a disco Beatles medley with physical tragedy.

One Direction disbanded! Ah, They'll be back. Hey, Evan - My 80-year-old pop & I had a light-hearted debate about who had the smoothest swing. He said Ted Williams. I said Pete Rose. Is this just a generational gap type thing?
Avatar 9:54pm

I had no idea Pete Rose and Ted Williams were swingers.

Monday Morning:

I didn't see them at the parties.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:58pm
efd:

I'm not sure how you'd quantify "smooth" exactly, but I'd be inclined to pick Williams over Rose myself. Though that might be partly due to my Red Sox fandom.
  9:58pm
clinton hensley:

And I didn't realized you had a twisted sister. And I really don't know what having a twisted sister would actually mean. That sounds like a good band name though.

We were talking about Altrok Radio a few weeks ago. Now that WFUV's little indie rock operation, The Alternate Side, has suddenly been snuffed out, I'm hoping its audience will migrate to Altrok Radio, which has a broader playlist anyway.

i'm a born-again Blue Jays fan Evan. I hated them growing up an Expos fan but I grabbed a seat on the bandwagon a few years ago. I didnt watch any baseball for years after the Expos moved but then I realized nobody cared about my little protest.

FFS got some airplay on the now-defunct Alternate Side. Interesting move by WFUV to just simulcast its main programming on WNYE-91.5 in the mornings now. I wonder if that's temporary. We can only hope something new and weird will show up on WNYE sooner or later.
Avatar 10:29pm

The green goblin was battling the Expos, the comic is in french. There are some great captions of like Delino clinging to The GG and Moises Alou firing baseballs at him. Pretty neat
