the first set, at least! Nice to see you here, Holly!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:05pm
efd:

maybe the second set too, we'll see.
Avatar 9:06pm
Holly in NC:

Do you happen to have the original and far superior version of Sloan's "Underwhelmed" (not the later lp version, which is lackluster).

Note I didn't start out by mentioning Rush, good me good me.... good listeners get treats? ;-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:07pm
Polyus:

The Guess Who, my first concert. Original members: zero. Members who had even met the original members: probably also zero.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:10pm
efd:

Holly, I'd only have whatever's in the WFMU library, which I think is just the LP version.

There IS a Rush song I'd play, though! :)
Avatar 9:10pm

Rush's cover album, while grand, does not count :-)

I love that you still have records you picked up on a high school field trip, EFD!
  9:35pm
JakeGould:

My first field trip in school was in 2nd grade. We went down to the boiler room and the maintenance guy showed us how the boiler worked.
Avatar 9:36pm
Holly in NC:

@Jake I hope to god that's not a euphemism...
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 9:37pm
Kat in Chicago:

That sounds more like show and tell (which doesn't make it sound like any less of a euphemism, of course). I think you have to board a bus for it to qualify as a field trip.
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 9:39pm
Kat in Chicago:

Is this the same Edward Bear that did "Last Song"? This is way way better.
  9:39pm
cheri:

grand show tonight, efd! i'm really loving it!
  9:40pm
JakeGould:

@Holly: No. No euphemism. He showed us the boiler room and even the incinerator. Our school even in the 1970s used an incinerator to burn garbage. I would pass by can upon can of carbonized, burned refuse ready for pick up every day as part of my school experience.

Bang a gong! Get a best friend! Get it on!

Kat, yes it is! In fact, it was the b-side to "Last Song" if you can believe that!
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 9:43pm

That's crazy. "Last Song" shoulda been the B-side.

Canadian disco artist - I think "Try It Out" (on the same LP) might have been his biggest hit?

I don't remember now which station in Boston used to play this (the single version, at least), but I've loved it since then.

I used to hear it in college, on a commercial station the call letters of which escape me. They played the full version!

Nearly all shows do get archived, but occasionally a band or label or management will ask that we not archive something. However, I'm pleased to say that as far as I know the show with the Hookworms set will be archived as per usual.
