12:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

12:16pm Joe B:

Mr P, I heard it on fool's paradise!

12:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

This Pandoras CD won't be available forever!

👻

12:26pm tim from champaign:

Does that station played the Ramones after a twofer of Supertramp?

12:28pm Dave C. from JCHeights:

Todd-O-Phonis calling out jim kerr and maria malito!

12:28pm Cmurtha:

I can attest when I go from NYC to Columbus not only do you hear the SAME stuff on classic rock radio, but you hear the same songs as you go along, we count as we go along. I always assumed it was because most of these stations are owned by one larger group or another. There are a few decent not WFMU stations about, buuuut they are far and in-between, and tend to play Jazz/classical or live spin hip-hop in my experience.

12:28pm Tommy in Neversink:

Just sent some $$$$..Love the show Joe

12:32pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Let's celebrate our friends from Canada! As heard live on The Todd-O-Phonic Todd show!

12:32pm Joe B:

current prize drawing - Sloan - Sloan 12! Nova Scotia Pop Maniacs! Maybe their best ever out of their long and amazing career! Pledge of $20 or more gets you in the drawing!

12:34pm Rich in Washington:

I was thinking the same thing when I heard 'two-fer Tuesday'. I always assumed that was a made up thing by my local classic rock station here in Portland - KGON. Now owned by Intercomm radio, they play the same 15 - 16 songs over and over, usually at about the same time every day.

12:36pm esther crow:

love sloan!!! hi Joe!!!! can't wait to wear my swanky new T SHIRT!!!

12:37pm DaveytheSquid:

12:38pm esther crow:

and hi Todd! grab those pledges! come on people! WFMU rules!

12:40pm DaveytheSquid:

You Do Rock!!!!!

12:40pm P-90:

Who knew how much of Joe’s enduring success at WFMU has been because of Todd?!

12:41pm Tommy in Neversink:

TT is busting balls today....and by balls I mean tennis balls , base balls , basketballs of course

12:41pm Tommy in Neversink:

baseballs

12:42pm battleaxe:

12:44pm Slaboch:

OMG! Cracking up over the "bad attitude" note!

👻

12:45pm tim from champaign:

This Les Lullies is a lulu!

12:45pm Joe B:

current prize drawing - les lullies s/t LP record! amazing garage punk from France, playing here live on the show April 8! Pledge of $20 or more gets you in the drawing!

12:47pm Tommy in Neversink:

Oh , I get it . TT is figuring we will pledge more out of sympathy if he beats Joe up for three hours

12:52pm Uncle Michael:

Joe, thanks for introducing us to Les Lullies!

12:52pm DaveytheSquid:

When is Diane Farris Fun House this week?

12:54pm Nate K.:

@Tommy, it worked on me!

12:54pm Mister Dobalina:

Signed in just to say that I'm really liking this brotherhood banter!

12:55pm Sylvia's Mother:

Is that Todd-o-phonic or Rowdy Roddy Piper?

12:55pm melinda:

This is funny.

12:56pm Mister Dobalina:

Bring the heat!

12:56pm Uncle Michael:

Someone get Todd some chamomile tea.

12:56pm SSS:

Geeze!...Sleep deprivation?

12:57pm Folsom:

are we getting Andy Kaufman'd right now?

12:57pm P-90:

Ouch, Todd got the “No problem Man, let’s talk about this outside” rap from the Station Manager

👻

12:57pm Hoboken Jack:

When I was laid up in the hospital, the kindhearted TOPT suggested a new band I might like: Lost Balloons. That being said, it might be fun to hear Tim co-host.

12:57pm John from Florham Park:

Wow has someone ever had a meltdown on the air before or is this all a put on

12:58pm Uncle Michael:

Tim!

12:58pm dave wuz here:

glen jones enters stage right, goes captain lou albano on everybody

👻

12:59pm Hoboken Jack:

Give Tim that Dave Hill slot

12:59pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Tim!

1:00pm Mister Dobalina:

Bring back Todd o Phonic Tiger-Todd!

1:00pm Alex of Chicago:

Cindy S. has been spreading the love.

1:02pm Kevlicki:

Did Tim just imply that Cindy Sherman made a pledge to three chord monty?

👻

1:02pm tim from champaign:

Did someone mention Captain Lou?

1:02pm Marley Dogg:

So I’m tuning in late - what happened?

1:02pm Tommy in Neversink:

TT got a time out

1:02pm John from Florham Park:

Guys what just happened to Todd or is this all a joke

1:03pm Tommy in Neversink:

I have a feeling he will re-appear to continue the shtick

1:04pm John from Florham Park:

@tommy in other words this whole thing is a joke

👻

1:05pm Hoboken Jack:

Glen Jones Radio Programme featuring Tim? Too soon?

1:06pm Tommy in Neversink:

John...yea

1:07pm John from Florham Park:

Ok gotcha tommy

1:07pm -Ken:

Todd's doing fine and he's feeling better.. hopefully he'll be bacl Saturday if not before. Great job Tim!

1:08pm frenchee:

I think Hoboken Jack might have a good idea there! Although Il Bruce was a great cohost w/Jonesy.

1:08pm John from Florham Park:

Ok ken

1:09pm Switchblade Batman:

Todd vs The People's Champ? Take my money please

1:11pm Sir Richard Slouch:

So when does Todd throw Joe T
thru the booth window? That would be WWF-level believable.

1:12pm Joe B:

current prize drawing - Alex Chilton - A Man Called Destruction deluxe edition CD on Omnivore! Pledge $20 or more to get in the running!

1:13pm Switchblade Batman:

The announcer HAS to be Glen Jones

1:13pm John from Florham Park:

Cmurtha there is the rat from the jersey shore and there is WXRT from Chicago both have an excellent playlist

1:14pm Uncle Michael:

I'm picturing Danny Ray throwing a cape over TOPT...then that cape being thrown off as Todd rushes back to the mic.

1:16pm John from Florham Park:

I am just seeing Todd getting double teamed with wicked chair shots

1:16pm Marley Dogg:

So what was this argument about?

1:17pm Cmurtha:

Good to know. I may be able to catch rat, though I won't be in Chicago anytime soon.

1:18pm John from Florham Park:

Cmurtha if you have a smartphone you can get WXRT via the radio. Com app same this with the rat

1:25pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Not since the heyday of Wheeler and Woolsey have we heard such crackling comedic banter.

1:25pm Greg from ZONE 5:

1:26pm Joe B:

1:26pm Joe B:

1:26pm melinda:

“How was that, Ken?” haha

1:28pm Mister Dobalina:

Maybe ToPT was hangry and his blood sugar was low. Ken got him a juice box and some cookies, back in business.

👻

1:28pm Hoboken Jack:

Bring back Tim

1:28pm Tim in the phone room:

My moment in the sun is over. I’ve been demoted from co-host back to guy taking web pledges off the printer. Pledge for Joe and keep me busy!

1:32pm rocksunderwater:

Unhinged

1:33pm Sylvia's Mother:

1:53pm Tommy in Neversink:

👻

1:56pm Hoboken Jack:

I lived in Derwood, MD at ages 10-11. I know, I know, nobody cares.

1:56pm Morphe':

Same sad story to each and all: SoaKED ANDY FOR A DOUBLE WHAMMY but I Am in the house: "I'd say, 'I'm Behind you Joe>> But X-Ray would turn that XXXXX>"

👻

1:57pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks for that info, Derwood Jack!

2:00pm Steve:

Hey Joe B., any word on when the new La Luz album will be coming out ? This year ?

2:01pm Joe B:

Shana from la luz has a solo record out in april

👻

2:03pm Artie:

Sara was a champ. Thanks, Joe.

2:03pm foreign_listener_k:

As noted before, still prefer the less languid original version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8x7d6zdf6g

2:04pm Steve:

I didn't know that ? Thanks, Joe !

2:05pm dano59:

Loved Sara... fantastic person and drummer. ... who's on bass here?

2:06pm Chris from DC:

Somehow I never heard the Outskirts version, thanks for that. Saw Let's Active open for REM in the student center at Rutgers long ago. They were great.

2:08pm Devin B.:

RIP Sara. She was incredible when I saw her in the duo with Dex.

2:08pm Joe B:

current prize drawing - Barrence Whitfield and the Savages - Dig Everything! The Early Rounder Albums CD on Ace! Pledge of $20 or more gets you in the drawing! The second and third albums, reissued for the first time, and together!

2:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

DO IT FOR BARRENCE! DO IT FOR JOE!

2:09pm Joe B:

you left out you wouldn't know the original version if not for this one

👻

2:12pm OnTheTrain:

DO IT FOR THE ALLEN PARSONS PROJECT ?!?!

2:14pm foreign_listener_k:

Actually, probably not - WHFS was a free form station in DC, and it is very likely that some DJ (not really Jum DunbarÄs style, but maybe Kim or any number of others) played in back in 81 or 82. There is no question that the OuUtskirts version sounds more like what I remember than the Let's Active version.

2:15pm eki:

LOLOLOLOLOL that was a well-deserved crack at a certain fossil, T.

2:19pm foreign_listener_k:

Though I love WFMU, I discovered it after the last WHFS DJ went off the air of the Annapolis successor. And led to discovering Monica playing some trippy whale music a few minutes later.

2:20pm Marc15:

Is this Todd’s Roast of WFMU DJs?

2:25pm Joe B:

current prize drawing - The Feelies - Time For a Witness LP reissue. Overlooked 1991 gem sounding better than ever thanks to Bar/None! Pledge of $20 or more gets you in the drawing!

2:29pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Hitting the home stretch now folks!

2:29pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Marc15: No, that's every week.

2:29pm Marc15:

But when AP Mike left the store with the “Deep Throat” soundtrack, he was shocked, shocked to learn that he had mistakenly bought “Deep Throat (The Gay Version)” Soundtrack

2:30pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@foreign_listener-k: Long live Weasel!

2:31pm WO Town Wick:

Jonathan Demme rightfully loved the Feelies

2:32pm steveo:

let phil sing! oh wait wrong song.

2:32pm foreign_listener_k:

Bob Here is likely hanging out with X.Ray Burns, probably mulching the azaleas - or at least talking about it,

2:32pm PJ:

@Todd-o-phonic Todd, @foreign_listener_k: Wimpy Weasel Wednesdays. He was sort of the Clay Pigeon of HFS.

2:32pm Tim in the phone room:

This album is so good I may try to win it even though I already own it!

2:33pm Devin B.:

Not to distract from people pledging to FMU, but Weasel's currently got a show Sunday mornings on WOWD-LP Takoma Park

👻

2:37pm OnTheTrain:

Chunkylover54 at aol.com all one word.

2:38pm foreign_listener_k:

Yes, no desire to stop people from talking about WFMU - the people's freeform station. But there have been other freeform stations, and they too had their glory days.

And you don't hear Christmas at Kmart on WFMU.as regularly as you used to at WHFS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X96Un6POoo8

👻

2:38pm OnTheTrain:

2:48pm Joe B:

$75 at any time between now and 3 pm will get you in the drawing for our grand prize on the show today - the cd box set More Blood, More Tracks : The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 from Bob Dylan. 6 CDs -- the entire Blood on the Tracks sessions - amazing prize!

2:53pm Ike:

I loved WHFS but (at least by the time I heard it ca. 1990) it was not free-form the way FMU is. It was commercial free-form, mostly alt rock. No noise, no Edison cylinders, no freaky new age weirdness, no music of cults, no weird soundtracks. There’s no other FMU and never has been, so pledge now!!!

2:54pm xezzy:

@ike just described any non-fmu radio

2:54pm Pseu Braun:

NICE TRY TODD

2:56pm Joe B:

2:57pm Pseu Braun:

2:57pm James Honeycutt:

Thanks Joe!
