WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from October 28, 2008

Listener comments!
	11:00pm john john: Cells - Chemical Reaction (Rude 7", 1982)
	11:05pm efd: OK john john, thanks!
	11:05pm madi: Dante's Inferno - s/t (Infinity LP, 1979)
	11:08pm john: Hey Evan!...that Captain Sensible record is great, but the B-side is for fans! Ditto Comsat Angels and Flock of Beagles. And Larry Graham. And Girls AT Our Best And The Teardrops--maybe Passionate Friend or The Great Dominions off of that?
	11:11pm efd: thanks john, thanks madi! John, do you mean "for fans" in a good way?
	11:11pm sf spike: The Sports - Who Listens to the Radio
	11:13pm Laurie: The Teardrop Explodes, The Plimsouls, the dB's, Girls at Our Best! I wish I had more time to spend at the Record Fair. I wanted to look for more pop stuff but could only devote a little time looking through French stuff. And buying French stuff and records with naked ladies on the cover.
	11:14pm john: Depends if you're a fan! It's a Damned version of Stars on 45, more or less. A medley anyway. I think it's fun, but I'm a fan.
	11:15pm timotato: This Wondermints song sounds so much like Jellyfish.
	11:15pm Laurie: My favorite record fair find to date: The Golden Dawn - George Hamilton's Dead 7" on Sarah Records. I played the B-Side on my listener hour.
	11:17pm john: i Heard you play that! I'm still two singles away from a complete run on Sarah. Grrr.
	11:24pm efd: John, that's pretty much what I figured it was (and why I bought it)! That will be coming up during the listening party for sure. Laurie, is there a playlist posted anywhere for your listener hr?
	11:27pm timotato: Is the Association LP the one with "Windy"? .I haven't heard Andrea True's "What's your name..." in awhile.
	11:27pm Laurie: Yes, there is: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/29066
	11:31pm Kramer: Shriekback lined up
	11:34pm Laurie: Who else is singing along to this one?
	11:35pm Joe: Whoaaa what is this here. Hmm... My pick is gonna be that NME 7". Whichever side has the Stenski on it.
	11:36pm efd: timotato, no on "Windy" - it's their first LP, before any of their hits I'm pretty sure. Sports, Andrea True, Shriekback, Steinski - check
	11:38pm ~L: Hi EFD, I'm requesting the DB's off your impressive list. Does the station have any record cleaner handy?
	11:40pm efd: yes, we are equipped with the latest in 1980s Discwasher record cleaners. Without the liquid solution, however.
	11:43pm Joe: Speaking of cleaning records: http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20081026.html I read it on the last day of the record fair and thought it was extremely appropriate.
	11:44pm kramer: I believe the empty discwasher bottle I have only ever contained distilled water, which is easily replacable.
	11:46pm Thunderclap Jimmy: I vote for the Q-Tips. I also know where I can get some home brewed record cleaning solution if you need any. Getting it across state lines could be a problem though with that pesky sheriff always breathing down my neck.
	11:47pm efd: so you would not recommend using the windex that's in here, then.
	11:48pm Kramer: A good alternative to discwasher is 1200 grit sand paper. It's especially effective on michael bolton and celine dion disks (vinyl or CD).
	11:51pm 0rich: The Vapors !!
	11:52pm Joe: Oh, yeah second on that. Missed that one.
	11:53pm Blues fan: is it possible to get obama on your show to spin some records
	11:56pm Joe: Also, Poopshovel. Just because the only bit of information on them is that they at one point worked with a producer named "Biff Blumfumgagnge." Cannot make that shit up. And don't try to tell me you picked that record up for any other reason besides the title.
	11:56pm efd: Blues fan: no, definitely not possible. Hi 0Rich! Still waiting for that east coast tour! Vapors will be coming up. QTips also, tclap jimmy
	11:58pm derg: do any of these 7" covers look like crusty, badly recorded punk? if so, I'd like to hear those album covers sing.
	11:59pm Kramer: poopshovel if that disk contains 'Dragon attack' Also, apparently discwasher isn't distilled water, or dirty water nor dish water. It's de-ionized water. So just put a little Jersey City tap into you Ronco home de-ionizer, then start washing those disks.
	12:01am derg: this will work.
	12:01am efd: that poopshovel record makes me nervous, language-wise.
	12:01am Marcelo: Glad It's All Over by Capt. Sensible!!!! a Classiccccc nice collection Evan,
	12:03am efd: uh-oh, dueling Captain Sensible/Damned requests!
	12:03am Joe: pfft, its after midnight. You'll be cool.
	12:04am Lupica: Oh jeebus, you bought the Poopshovel LP? Play "Ouija Board" or "Young People in Love are Hardly Ever Hungry" -- both solid tunes, though the latter is an instrumental.
	12:09am 0rich: efd, planning a trip in that direction next year, but to make it that far we'll have to get creative(r)
	12:11am 0rich: dymaxion!
	12:14am zephir: My spine is the bass line by shriekback plz
	12:14am efd: Mike, "bought" is probably too strong a word. It was practically forced on me by, coincidentally, our logo contest winner. It was all I could do to get him to accept even a dollar for it.
	12:16am efd: (but thanks for the pointer to radio-friendly tunes!)
	12:19am efd: Joe, we do not speak of such things in public!
	12:20am Sybil: Good evening, all! (Can I still say that after midnight?) Great show to come back to. I'm loving these new finds. And Mike, if you're still around - two shows in three days, wow! Be still my heart!
	12:21am Joe: You know, I realized it was probably a bad idea as soon as I said it. All apologies. Thanks for the edit.
	12:21am efd: hi Sybil! long time no... uh... read!
	12:36am john: Well, it definitely has a BTO feel to it, unless it's Grand Funk; have to see if i can work it in to tomorrow's note somehow! Looking forward to closing out the longest campaign since the Peloponnesian War with the show next week.
	12:39am timotato: Yeah, the singer has a BTO sound alright. The guitarist, though, has southern rock riffs ... maybe The Outlaws... mixed with the Chicago rock groove... REO Speedwagon possibly.
	12:40am efd: yeah, i'm pretty happy with that Raw Deal purchase! Dante's Inferno, on the other hand...
	12:43am john: Never heard this before but this one's all about the lyric...kind of a more explicit YMCA
	12:43am Joe: Hey don't be too hard on it. It's pretty... funky. I guess. What made you pick up that Raw Deal 7"?
	12:45am efd: the thing is, this is far and away the best song on the album. Other songs on the album: a 7:30 cover of "Could This Be Magic" and a poorly discofied version of "Brand New Key."
	12:46am efd: Raw Deal was purchased solely because of the BTO comparison. The dealer said if I didn't like it I could bring it back next year for a full refund, but it's a keeper!
	12:48am Joe: And its apparently the only thing they ever released. I gotta start buying 7".
	12:51am Kramer: The Cap'n is scaring me with this smash it up mash up.
	12:52am efd: just got around to checking out that Pearls Before Swine link, Joe - awesome.
	12:53am john: Evan, I bought a few singles from Chuck too, but no unknown quantities, a couple old Monochrome Set 45s and a Magazine. Oh, and this is what I meant when I said this B-side was for fans only...
	12:54am efd: well if we weren't all fans before, we certainly are now after hearing that!
	12:56am Paul Elliott: Enjoying the show here in sunny Melbourne Australia. Wondered if you had the new Grace Jones album to play a track off?
	1:01am HR: a POX on you for playing the disco version of The Damned.
	1:04am john: Dont' quote me on it, but I think that Sports single was quite good, though I can't imagine I've heard it in 25 years.
	1:05am zephir: thanks! Ugh! I walked away for a few minutes and missed the song I requested! D'oh. I'll have to hit up that archive.
	1:06am efd: just finished cuing up the Sports! HR, maybe that'll help offset the disco Damned.
	1:09am Joe: This is _great_. I suggest opening next week's show with it. Maybe every week's show.
	1:09am Joe: Fuck, they should put it on the next FMU bumpersticker.
	1:10am efd: hi Paul, didn't see the Grace Jones in the new bin tonight but thanks for checking in from Australia!
	1:11am john: I think the Sports were Australian, and always got a raw deal for sounding like Joe Jackson, only better. That's everything I ever remember about them.
	1:13am Joe: I was just thinking the guy sounded like Joe Jackson! Man, that sucks for them.
	1:15am efd: funny you mention Joe Jackson, that reminded me there was another record I picked up from Chuck Warner that he described as "Joe Jackson pub-pob" ... ah, here it is, stand by
	1:17am Sybil: Remarkably Joe Jacksonish.
	1:18am efd: Joe, I'm afraid I'm going to deny your Steinski request... the song on that EP is "The Motorcade Sped On" and I think that would just give me the creeps right now.
	1:19am Kramer: Not an uncommon song construction and singing style for that era.
	1:19am Paul Elliott: Sports were a pretty big band here many years ago, saw the old lead singer Steve Cummings do an acustic set at the back of a record store a few weeks back
	1:20am Joe: Its cool, I got that on MP3. And yeaaaaaah that is creepy.
	1:23am Kramer: NuMusik straight lines and On Islands in glorious 10" vinyl. Why am I still holding onto this disk.
	1:31am Joe: Hey good pick on the Shakey Hands! I'm seeing them in like 2 weeks at Mercury.
	1:34am Sybil: Well, this is certainly... different.
	1:35am Joe: Wow. This wasn't on your record show purchase list. Which means you have to tell us where you got it.
	1:40am efd: Joe, that's from a comp that was in the FMU new bin, so either we bought it or the label sent it to us.
	1:41am efd: Kramer, you're still holding onto that disk because that's how we do.
	1:57am efd: goodnight everyone, see you for the big Election Night show next week! Thanks for your listening party suggestions!
	12:43am Jessica: The icing on the spending-time-in-a-city-that-still-has-no-reliable-Intarwebs-or-even-traffic-signals-or-you-know-habitable-housing-but-which-somehow-oozes-music-from-its-so-resilient-pores cake is all this archive awesomeness. That said, I can't wait to tune in live next Tuesday.
	11:33am wilson: Gracias por la página, me gustaría escuchar la canción . Voggue - Sun Struck Lovers (Matra 12", 1983

	11:59pm Kramer: poopshovel if that disk contains 'Dragon attack' Also, apparently discwasher isn't distilled water, or dirty water nor dish water. It's de-ionized water. So just put a little Jersey City tap into you Ronco home de-ionizer, then start washing those disks.
	12:01am derg: this will work.
	12:01am efd: that poopshovel record makes me nervous, language-wise.
	12:01am Marcelo: Glad It's All Over by Capt. Sensible!!!! a Classiccccc nice collection Evan,
	12:03am efd: uh-oh, dueling Captain Sensible/Damned requests!
	12:03am Joe: pfft, its after midnight. You'll be cool.
	12:04am Lupica: Oh jeebus, you bought the Poopshovel LP? Play "Ouija Board" or "Young People in Love are Hardly Ever Hungry" -- both solid tunes, though the latter is an instrumental.
	12:09am 0rich: efd, planning a trip in that direction next year, but to make it that far we'll have to get creative(r)
	12:11am 0rich: dymaxion!
	12:14am zephir: My spine is the bass line by shriekback plz
	12:14am efd: Mike, "bought" is probably too strong a word. It was practically forced on me by, coincidentally, our logo contest winner. It was all I could do to get him to accept even a dollar for it.
	12:16am efd: (but thanks for the pointer to radio-friendly tunes!)
	12:19am efd: Joe, we do not speak of such things in public!
	12:20am Sybil: Good evening, all! (Can I still say that after midnight?) Great show to come back to. I'm loving these new finds. And Mike, if you're still around - two shows in three days, wow! Be still my heart!
	12:21am Joe: You know, I realized it was probably a bad idea as soon as I said it. All apologies. Thanks for the edit.
	12:21am efd: hi Sybil! long time no... uh... read!
	12:36am john: Well, it definitely has a BTO feel to it, unless it's Grand Funk; have to see if i can work it in to tomorrow's note somehow! Looking forward to closing out the longest campaign since the Peloponnesian War with the show next week.
	12:39am timotato: Yeah, the singer has a BTO sound alright. The guitarist, though, has southern rock riffs ... maybe The Outlaws... mixed with the Chicago rock groove... REO Speedwagon possibly.
	12:40am efd: yeah, i'm pretty happy with that Raw Deal purchase! Dante's Inferno, on the other hand...
	12:43am john: Never heard this before but this one's all about the lyric...kind of a more explicit YMCA
	12:43am Joe: Hey don't be too hard on it. It's pretty... funky. I guess. What made you pick up that Raw Deal 7"?
	12:45am efd: the thing is, this is far and away the best song on the album. Other songs on the album: a 7:30 cover of "Could This Be Magic" and a poorly discofied version of "Brand New Key."
	12:46am efd: Raw Deal was purchased solely because of the BTO comparison. The dealer said if I didn't like it I could bring it back next year for a full refund, but it's a keeper!
	12:48am Joe: And its apparently the only thing they ever released. I gotta start buying 7".
	12:51am Kramer: The Cap'n is scaring me with this smash it up mash up.
	12:52am efd: just got around to checking out that Pearls Before Swine link, Joe - awesome.
	12:53am john: Evan, I bought a few singles from Chuck too, but no unknown quantities, a couple old Monochrome Set 45s and a Magazine. Oh, and this is what I meant when I said this B-side was for fans only...
	12:54am efd: well if we weren't all fans before, we certainly are now after hearing that!
	12:56am Paul Elliott: Enjoying the show here in sunny Melbourne Australia. Wondered if you had the new Grace Jones album to play a track off?
	1:01am HR: a POX on you for playing the disco version of The Damned.
	1:04am john: Dont' quote me on it, but I think that Sports single was quite good, though I can't imagine I've heard it in 25 years.
	1:05am zephir: thanks! Ugh! I walked away for a few minutes and missed the song I requested! D'oh. I'll have to hit up that archive.
	1:06am efd: just finished cuing up the Sports! HR, maybe that'll help offset the disco Damned.
	1:09am Joe: This is _great_. I suggest opening next week's show with it. Maybe every week's show.
	1:09am Joe: Fuck, they should put it on the next FMU bumpersticker.
	1:10am efd: hi Paul, didn't see the Grace Jones in the new bin tonight but thanks for checking in from Australia!
	1:11am john: I think the Sports were Australian, and always got a raw deal for sounding like Joe Jackson, only better. That's everything I ever remember about them.
	1:13am Joe: I was just thinking the guy sounded like Joe Jackson! Man, that sucks for them.
	1:15am efd: funny you mention Joe Jackson, that reminded me there was another record I picked up from Chuck Warner that he described as "Joe Jackson pub-pob" ... ah, here it is, stand by
	1:17am Sybil: Remarkably Joe Jacksonish.
	1:18am efd: Joe, I'm afraid I'm going to deny your Steinski request... the song on that EP is "The Motorcade Sped On" and I think that would just give me the creeps right now.
	1:19am Kramer: Not an uncommon song construction and singing style for that era.
	1:19am Paul Elliott: Sports were a pretty big band here many years ago, saw the old lead singer Steve Cummings do an acustic set at the back of a record store a few weeks back
	1:20am Joe: Its cool, I got that on MP3. And yeaaaaaah that is creepy.
	1:23am Kramer: NuMusik straight lines and On Islands in glorious 10" vinyl. Why am I still holding onto this disk.
	1:31am Joe: Hey good pick on the Shakey Hands! I'm seeing them in like 2 weeks at Mercury.
	1:34am Sybil: Well, this is certainly... different.
	1:35am Joe: Wow. This wasn't on your record show purchase list. Which means you have to tell us where you got it.
	1:40am efd: Joe, that's from a comp that was in the FMU new bin, so either we bought it or the label sent it to us.
	1:41am efd: Kramer, you're still holding onto that disk because that's how we do.
	1:57am efd: goodnight everyone, see you for the big Election Night show next week! Thanks for your listening party suggestions!
	12:43am Jessica: The icing on the spending-time-in-a-city-that-still-has-no-reliable-Intarwebs-or-even-traffic-signals-or-you-know-habitable-housing-but-which-somehow-oozes-music-from-its-so-resilient-pores cake is all this archive awesomeness. That said, I can't wait to tune in live next Tuesday.
	11:33am wilson: Gracias por la página, me gustaría escuchar la canción . Voggue - Sun Struck Lovers (Matra 12", 1983
