That Pretenders album has been criminally underplayed by me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:10pm

to put it lightly Amen EFD ! still sounds as fresh as it did 38 years latter now !!

The Pretenders with James and Pete was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle moments in rock music.

did someone say lust?

Super catchy this Pretty Feelings track

Roberto:

I knew EFD would be hip to this one sooner or later.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:43pm
efd:

sooner or later?! I've been playing it since September!
Avatar 9:43pm
Roberto:

Mein bad. It must be all the other FMU DJs what just got hip.
  9:44pm
herb.nyc:

Greeeat songs now, "pretty feelings" is amazing. But starting with the 80s, I learned the Chills have a USandA tour in February. Shows at bell house and white eagle. Yay.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:45pm
efd:

EXACTLY, Roberto! :D
Avatar 9:45pm
Roberto:

I see what the problem is. This might be the first EFD show I've been awake for since September. I keep passing out on the couch when I get home from work.

Irwin played another one earlier, Sunshine & the Rain, It's All in Your Mind that's again great pop.

So that is why Rex was on last night!

Sunshine and the Rain are pretty sharp. They sound like they might be able to break out. But, what do I know?

Imagine ACR named from The True Wheel, Eno "We are the 801
We are the central shaft
Looking for a certain ratio
Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
Looking up and down the radio
Oh, oh, nothing there this time
Looking for a certain ratio"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
efd:

exactly right, Aitch!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm
Aitch:

Eno had his fingers in everything, even if just by sheer influence. Makes we want to Do the Strand.

Electric Citizen: Quatro-sequel vocals. Me likey.
  10:35pm
steveL:

Quatro-esque, damn it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm

Daybreak, the Human:

Enjoy the seasonal Fairytale of NY w/ Pouges, but nice to hear KM in other ways. So many greats are hidden in 1 known song.
  11:04pm
Daybreak, the Human:

Liked Coit Tower this morning on Wake too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm
efd:

@Daybreak, I think I'm the one person who doesn't like that Pogues Xmas song, which is one reason I wanted to play a different Kirsty track tonight. Glad you're enjoying it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:06pm
efd:

oh thanks!
  11:10pm
steveL:

Snapped Ankles:

A:Ow!

B: Cool!
  11:13pm
Daybreak, the Human:

Thanks efd! I’m sure there are MANY fmu listeners who actually know her catalogue and the Pogues catalogue and the many for whom x-mas music is a limited catalogue that can drive any song into the ground, who feel the same. Thanks for the broadening experience!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18pm
Hoboken Jack:

Long neck also on the bill Friday.
  11:19pm
Kat in Chicago:

That Pogues Christmas song reminds me of my awful ex-husband and I hate it very much. Love Kirsty though.

those Sadies tickets will be sweet fop somebody.. the last time i saw them was in a desolate location and the place looked like a barn anbd it must have been minus 35 degrees it was brutal cold but it was sure warm inside and packed they are so good. Wish I could remember what the place was called it was on a country road carleton place ontario its not there anymore

Andrew S:

speaking of bagels Montreal passed a ban on wood ovens but the citizens rose up and it looks like the existing bagel shops will be exempt. power to the people
  11:35pm
steveL:

This show is all over the place in the best ways! Thanks again, efd!
  11:38pm
Kat in Chicago:

Why did Montreal ban wood ovens?
  11:38pm
Kat in Chicago:

Nice to hear this Feelies track again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
efd:

I'm guessing it was some environmental thing, because of the smoke?
  11:41pm
Kat in Chicago:

I figured, but it seems like that wouldn’t be that big of a contributor.
  11:43pm
Kat in Chicago:

I want a bagel now. With l.o.x. Hold the ants.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:46pm
Hoboken Jack:

Mercer and Barone are playing on SATURDAY at VU.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Kat in Chicago:

Anyone here been to the Velvet Underground Experience? I found out about it late into my last visit, and it was kind of spenski so I passed. Barone and Mercer would have made it more enticing.
Avatar 11:57pm
Andrew S:

yeah cuz of the smoke

they werent targeting bagel shops they were collateral damage but reason won out
