Welcome to my new Mastodon home.

I'm a volunteer DJ at WFMU radio, broadcasting from Jersey City NJ on-air and online. I'm on Wednesdays from noon-3pm Eastern time; I play lesser-known catchy records, new (mostly) and old, rock (mostly) and not.

I like and may post about new and old post-punk, proto-punk, regular punk, power pop, classic disco, cats, baseball, the Kids In The Hall, the NYT Crossword, and other stuff.

I'm the boss of this here server.

Soundcheck in progress! The Prof.Fuzz 63 are in the house and @mariosantana is making sure they’ll sound great on the radio! Tune in to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show on @WFMU at the top of the hour for (surprise!) some records I picked up at Used Kids in Columbus on Monday, followed by the live set from The Prof.Fuzz 63, followed by the rest of the show! Only on !

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN! Tune in to my @WFMU radio show for my annual salute to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, featuring songs you didn’t know were songs about dogs… but I assure you they are! And of course I’ll be continuing my as-yet fruitless audition to be the future announcer of the WKC Dog Show. It all starts at noon ET / 9am Pacific / 5pm UK. Don’t miss it!

Just walked by a swarm of bees hanging out on a tree, which is not a sentence I have ever said before in New York City.

Will be back on the radio this evening thanks to the tireless friends pulling off a marathon drive from Aurora, Ohio. @WFMU

@efd@masto.efdnet.com avatar

@dmandl Those Pennsylvania tolls are no joke! I'm driving out to Ohio Thursday/Friday, and I can save about $50 if I'm willing to drive maybe a half hour longer.

efd,
@efd@masto.efdnet.com avatar

@dmandl I'm definitely considering it! It's gonna be a long drive as it is (not that I have to tell you!) so it's a matter of a) what's another half hour-ish, or b) I'll have done enough driving and just want to be there already.

@efd@masto.efdnet.com avatar

@dmandl Looking now it looks like I could do a 7 hr drive (not counting gas/rest stops) with $52 in tolls, or a 7 hr 35 minute drive for $6.30.

efd,
@efd@masto.efdnet.com avatar

@dmandl yeah, the difference is pretty much a tank of gas.

TODAY on my @WFMU radio show I’ve got a great live set from UV-TV! They released one of my favorite albums of 2021, and their next one promises to be just as good if not better, based on the songs they played during this session. Someone called it “post-punk jangle drone”?? idk
BUT FIRST! I just got back from a few days in Phoenix, and of course I went record shopping. I’ll share some of my finds to start the show.
Tune in to at 12 noon EDT, 9am Pacific, 5pm UK , etc.

Looking forward to really stepping up my game when I return to @WFMU today, thanks to this informational LP I found in Houston last week.

It all starts at the top of the hour! 12 noon - 3pm EDT! See you there!

I’m back on @WFMU, just in time for Opening Day tomorrow (with all due respect, Padres and Dodgers fans). I’ll be welcoming in the season EFD-style, with an opening set of baseball-related selections and of course the annual airing of Tug McGraw’s overwrought but still awesome performance of “Casey At The Bat.” Don’t miss a pitch! Tune in promptly at the top of the hour — noon Eastern, 9am Pacific, etc.

Tug McGraw always sneaks up on me

Sorry I can’t be with you on @WFMU today, but family duty calls and I’m heading down to Florida to help my Mom for a few days while she deals with some medical stuff. The good news is that the always-delightful Monica will be filling in for me, so you should still be tuning in at the top of the hour!
