WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from August 5, 2008

Listener comments!
	11:11pm Laurie: Please tell Tommy Tornado he can't give up.
	11:11pm efd: i can haz scores plz?
	11:11pm monica: x-lent opening choice, evan! the bryatollah rules....
	11:12pm john: sox up 8-2, bottom 9...that what you're looking for?
	11:14pm efd: yes, thanks John! how about the Yanks and Rays? thx Monica... Laurie, I'll see if I can talk him out of it!
	11:14pm john: 8-2 Sox final. Rays won 8-4, Texas beating Junkees 8-6 in the 8th, but the rangers really have no pitching at all.
	11:15pm Sybil: Sorry I'm late! Did I miss anything?
	11:16pm john: Well, we missed you! Does that count? Oh, and the baseball roundup.
	11:17pm Sybil: Bryan Ferry! Waaaaaaaah!
	11:18pm dave: belatedly: all due respect to mr. bryan ferry who i do truly adore, but i'm just not sure there's such thing as a cover of sympathy for the devil that comes within light years of the original.
	11:19pm Sybil: John, i was watching about four games and lost track of the time. Damn modern technology and the horse it rode in on!
	11:20pm john: I'm following everything on mlb.com myself. Shouldn't modern technology be riding in on a Segway or something?
	11:21pm efd: look at me asking for score updates as if i had time to read/respond during my opening set...
	11:21pm Jason: so this is what the wicked awesome sound like!
	11:23pm dave: oddly, it's pretty close to how i'd imagined it.
	11:25pm john: They sound wicked awesome. But baseball waits for no man, as we go to the 9th with the Rangers holding on to an 8-6 lead.
	11:25pm Jim: It wasn't that awesome. It was good though.
	11:25pm Sybil: "information entropy" is kind of... redundant... or something.
	11:34pm Jim: How's that
	11:35pm Jim: Are you all going to be playing regular music during the old-timers week?
	11:35pm Sybil: regular music? Say what?
	11:36pm john: Special guest John Sterling says, "Yankees lose! Theeeeeeeeeee Yankees lose!"
	11:37pm Droll: Thanks for the heads up about JF/DS tomorrow! I hope he goes for a Notes-Per-Show record.
	11:38pm Sybil: Thanks, john. I'm blacked out from that one. Now waiting out the Dodgers game. Can you guess why?
	11:39pm john: Is it Manny-related? In a pool for when he doesn't run out his first ground ball?
	11:40pm efd: John - banned!
	11:41pm Sybil: Oooh, MUMS!
	11:41pm efd: has anyone here heard of The Skunks before? Jim - the music will depend on the guests... it will be as "regular" as their shows were, I'd guess.
	11:42pm john: What'd I say? In case I'm being suspended without pay, trust me, Jason Bay is the perfect hitter for Fenway. Righty who hits righties and is most devastating when he pulls the ball. 4 for 5 tonight.
	11:43pm efd: Sybil, you'll have to handle this... if I get into it there'll be a lot of dead air on tonight's show!
	11:44pm Sybil: Manny draws a BB. He's 2-for-3 tonight. He's batting, what, .700 with LA?
	11:45pm john: Oh, and Bay's seven years younger, hustles, never got voted 23-1 off his team, and is signed for a year and a half. He's a hell of a ballplayer.
	11:45pm dave: holy cats, imaginary icons are wireiffic. and by "wireiffic", i mean "wicked awesome".
	11:46pm efd: funny you should mention wire...
	11:47pm dave: someone's got to lob the softballs for you to knock the free concert announcement out of the park.
	11:48pm efd: not to mention i already had them cued up!
	11:48pm dave: YAY
	11:49pm Jim: I enjoy the new Wire stuff. I liked the EPs from the past few years, too. Play some more obscure crap though.
	11:49pm Amanda: I am pretty sure I've heard of the Skunks, but not actually familiar with them. (How many times has someone said that about a band they don't actually know at all?) Regarding that track I'm mainly disappointed that E.L. is on vacation and couldn't hear that "happy how-do-you-do." Dave, way to ESP the segue!
	11:50pm efd: John, seriously, I appreciate your comments and Red Sox fandom, but to paraphrase Jerry Remy during last year's pizza-tossing incident: that type of behavior will not be tolerated in this ballpark! We will have to agree to disagree re Manny.
	11:51pm Sybil: My bad, Manny's batting .625 for the Dodgers. It took so long because I had to add, and I ran out of fingers.
	11:52pm G: Try base ten. Works well with fingers, I hear. :-)
	11:52pm john: Happy to agree to disagree. Manny's a hall of famer, Bay isn't. Yet. And Bay's only hitting .429 for Boston, with no game-ending double plays. I'll shut up about it now, but we can revisit in October when the Sox are playing and the Dodgers (who I will be seeing a few times in LA in a couple weeks!) aren't.
	11:52pm Sybil: Heh, john, that's no kind of bait. You think I have to choose, and I don't.
	11:56pm Sybil: efd, it's rare to see such a pure exemplar of MUMS in the wild. The thing to do is to allow it to pass in respectful silence, I think.
	11:56pm G: Skunks bootleg video 1979 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGU7cf6d6vo
	11:58pm john: Sybil, MUMS? And that Vermillion Sands record was, well, wicked awesome.
	11:58pm Sybil: nenesynchronicity!
	12:04am Sybil: LA/StL going extra innings. Oy.
	12:07am Sybil: Vermillion sands, in the 3.5 seconds I looked at their very cluttered, bandwith-chewing myspace page, seemed to be from Italy. So prolly no relation to nene records. Oh well.
	12:13am efd: ah, thx Sybil. John, i suggest you go to joyofsox.blogspot.com and scroll down a bit to the Manny posts... the views of the guy who runs that site are pretty much in-line with mine, and he's more eloquent than me. :) (at least, when i'm doing my show)
	12:16am Sybil: Intentional walk to El Maestro. Heh.
	12:20am john: I'll do that. I'm happy to say there are two sides to this rather emotional issue, just trying to see the bright side of what was a really quite hideously bad situation for all concerned before the deal. It's cool.
	12:23am frenchee: hey efd, who's the celeb winner? I probably didn't even recognize the famous one...
	12:27am Jim: Hm.
	12:29am john: Julian Cope heals all wounds.
	12:29am efd: Liz, I'll email you; I don't want to say it out loud. Jim, why hm?
	12:31am frenchee: hee, ok. Must be a good one! and wait, isn't Julian Cope the heel that wounds?
	12:32am Sybil: There is no wound. There is no heel. I am one with the playlist.
	12:32am john: Knew it was one or the other. Quite not impossibly both.
	12:46am Jim: Hm because of the Pollard tune. I am a sucker for him, and that kind of stuff in general, but that wasn't doing it for me at all. Do you have anything perkier?
	12:54am efd: I haven't listened to the CD that closely yet, but I'll give it another listen this week.
	12:56am Sybil: It's pouring rain in Atlanta, and they're still playing. Heh. Yoyo. Not pitching tonight, though.
	12:57am Sybil: efd, if you have a chance, check out the Tavarez clip I found which I posted today. And thanks for the song!
	1:01am Jim: Oh I meant in general, not off the Pollard disc.
	1:02am Laurie: The world is ending. Paris Hilton made me laugh: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/64ad536a6d
	1:02am john: Have to ask, Tavarez as in Yo-Yo or as in Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel?
	1:02am Sybil: Laurie, I'm afraid to look at that link.
	1:02am Jim: Yo!
	1:03am Jim: I bet you can't do a baseball set.
	1:04am efd: Jim, maybe you'll dig the Thomas Function single coming up....
	1:04am Sybil: If it were the latter, John, it would be Tavares. Don't worry, a lot of people make that mistake! Man, sliding in the mud in Atlanta.
	1:05am john: I knew that, and should have assumed you did. I seem to have a lot to apologize for tonight.
	1:05am Jim: Eh, they are ok.
	1:06am efd: or, maybe not! ;)
	1:07am Sybil: No apologies needed!
	1:08am efd: i can't do a baseball set right now, but i bet i could put one together with some advance planning...
	1:08am Sybil: What, Jim, not perky enough? Sorry, couldn't resist. meanwhile, in Altlanta, I think they're bulding an ark in the outfield
	1:10am john: I've been following the Twins and Mariners spending the last few innings each deciding the other team should really win.
	1:12am Sybil: I notice Detroit and the ChiSox are still at it! And Boston's other team wins its water polo match, 11-4.
	1:18am efd: wow, when did that Det/Chi game start? it's approaching all-star length!
	1:18am john: As for the Mariners, even their own broadcasters are a little inconsistent in their pronunciation of the closer's last name. If I were called Putz (and more than once I have been), I'd be sending out daily memos reminding people that it's u as in push.
	1:19am Jim: Detroit lost in horrifying fashion.
	1:19am Sybil: It just ended after 14 innings (or 13.5, I'm not sure). I think it started at 8.
	1:21am Sybil: Where is tony d/miss b? Hmm, I see what you mean about the Twins game, John.
	1:27am Jim: I think you would lose our bet technically if you did that.
	1:29am john: How about every team's edition of Terry Cashman's Tallkin' Baseball?
	1:32am efd: i would rather lose the bet than play any team's version of Talkin' Baseball, even the Red Sox version.
	1:32am efd: (not that there's an actual bet on the table)
	1:35am Jim: Yeah if you took the offer I mean.
	1:41am Sybil: So the songs have to be about baseball? Or is it enough if they have baseball connections?
	1:43am Jim: Nah I just meant vaguely connected to baseball.
	1:44am Jessica: Fugu = [deadly if prepped by jr sushi chef] pufferfish.
	1:44am Jim: Not necessarily any over the top MLB lyrics like that Baseball Project band.
	1:46am efd: oh, like on that Simpsons episode!
	1:47am efd: and Sybil, good question re Toni D - i have no idea!
	1:50am efd: Simpsons episode about puffer fish, that is
	1:53am Jessica: I had one in my cubicle @ Berkeley Systems. In an aquarium. A great big cubicle-perimeter-making aquarium, with a sassy flirtatious pufferfish making eyes with me. (He's not in the screen saver, but does appear on the boxer shorts.) Oh, how I miss that little fugu.
	1:55am Sybil: How about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ4mJhvHI8I
	1:56am john: how about the intruders' love is like a baseball game? No actual MLB content, but still...
	1:57am Sybil: Jessica, you worked at Berkley Systems? After Dark Berkley Systems?
	1:57am john: OK Sybil, that was a shade freaky. Excellent choice, though!
	1:58am Sybil: Dang, John, GMTA!
	1:58am john: And so do we!
	2:00am Sybil: I actually own that record. A 45.
	2:01am john: Ditto, in point of fact. Think I prefer Cowboys To Girls, though.

	1:02am Sybil: Laurie, I'm afraid to look at that link.
	1:02am Jim: Yo!
	1:03am Jim: I bet you can't do a baseball set.
	1:04am efd: Jim, maybe you'll dig the Thomas Function single coming up....
	1:04am Sybil: If it were the latter, John, it would be Tavares. Don't worry, a lot of people make that mistake! Man, sliding in the mud in Atlanta.
	1:05am john: I knew that, and should have assumed you did. I seem to have a lot to apologize for tonight.
	1:05am Jim: Eh, they are ok.
	1:06am efd: or, maybe not! ;)
	1:07am Sybil: No apologies needed!
	1:08am efd: i can't do a baseball set right now, but i bet i could put one together with some advance planning...
	1:08am Sybil: What, Jim, not perky enough? Sorry, couldn't resist. meanwhile, in Altlanta, I think they're bulding an ark in the outfield
	1:10am john: I've been following the Twins and Mariners spending the last few innings each deciding the other team should really win.
	1:12am Sybil: I notice Detroit and the ChiSox are still at it! And Boston's other team wins its water polo match, 11-4.
	1:18am efd: wow, when did that Det/Chi game start? it's approaching all-star length!
	1:18am john: As for the Mariners, even their own broadcasters are a little inconsistent in their pronunciation of the closer's last name. If I were called Putz (and more than once I have been), I'd be sending out daily memos reminding people that it's u as in push.
	1:19am Jim: Detroit lost in horrifying fashion.
	1:19am Sybil: It just ended after 14 innings (or 13.5, I'm not sure). I think it started at 8.
	1:21am Sybil: Where is tony d/miss b? Hmm, I see what you mean about the Twins game, John.
	1:27am Jim: I think you would lose our bet technically if you did that.
	1:29am john: How about every team's edition of Terry Cashman's Tallkin' Baseball?
	1:32am efd: i would rather lose the bet than play any team's version of Talkin' Baseball, even the Red Sox version.
	1:32am efd: (not that there's an actual bet on the table)
	1:35am Jim: Yeah if you took the offer I mean.
	1:41am Sybil: So the songs have to be about baseball? Or is it enough if they have baseball connections?
	1:43am Jim: Nah I just meant vaguely connected to baseball.
	1:44am Jessica: Fugu = [deadly if prepped by jr sushi chef] pufferfish.
	1:44am Jim: Not necessarily any over the top MLB lyrics like that Baseball Project band.
	1:46am efd: oh, like on that Simpsons episode!
	1:47am efd: and Sybil, good question re Toni D - i have no idea!
	1:50am efd: Simpsons episode about puffer fish, that is
	1:53am Jessica: I had one in my cubicle @ Berkeley Systems. In an aquarium. A great big cubicle-perimeter-making aquarium, with a sassy flirtatious pufferfish making eyes with me. (He's not in the screen saver, but does appear on the boxer shorts.) Oh, how I miss that little fugu.
	1:55am Sybil: How about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ4mJhvHI8I
	1:56am john: how about the intruders' love is like a baseball game? No actual MLB content, but still...
	1:57am Sybil: Jessica, you worked at Berkley Systems? After Dark Berkley Systems?
	1:57am john: OK Sybil, that was a shade freaky. Excellent choice, though!
	1:58am Sybil: Dang, John, GMTA!
	1:58am john: And so do we!
	2:00am Sybil: I actually own that record. A 45.
	2:01am john: Ditto, in point of fact. Think I prefer Cowboys To Girls, though.
