Joe:

And now I am going to post a short video of a man being shot in the nuts to death by a soda machine. Because that is a scene from a real movie, directed by Stephen King, that this song was written SPECIFICALLY FOR:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K44PqV2Idk
  11:18pm
G:

Haven't heard that ac/dc track since it was on the radio in about 86...
  11:19pm

Syb--pardon my ignorance, but what is FTW?
  11:48pm
Phil Spector:

You don''t know from dark, dude. I'll show you dark.
  11:49pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--things always turn dark when the lemonheads play
  11:50pm
urbandictionary.com:

  11:52pm
No Nonsense Cop:

We got a call, threats made. Is everything ok here?
  11:52pm
Joe:

  11:58pm
Joe:

from the wiki -

Mark Lewis "Roman" Polansky (born June 2, 1956 in Paterson, New Jersey) is an American aerospace engineer and research pilot and a NASA astronaut. Polansky received the nickname "Roman" as a joke, because he shares a last name with director Roman Polansky.

Yeesh.
  11:59pm
Internet Nerds:

Yeah momz, stop @ the Wawa, we needz a p stop.
  12:00am

There are at least 9 things I don't understand about that video.
  12:14am
coalhard:

  12:17am
coalhard:

as a young boy i played with charles in west virginia
  12:19am
Sybil:

At least 9? I'm still stuck on "How did it come to exist?"
  12:20am
Sybil:

Ah, another souvenir!
  12:21am
efd:

Sybil, that video is nuts! I'll have to check it out with sound later.
  12:22am
Joe:

For a second I thought this might be a Hoagiefest song.
  12:23am
Sybil:

I was just typing that myself, Joe.
  12:24am
coalhard:

manson lawyer wrote a book --i was interviewed--told him the time me and charley and girl named rhonda explored a cave found a skull
  12:25am
rachel jansen:

efd---i was only jokin about what i said about abba,,i'm i forgivin???
  12:26am
Joe:

if Wawa actually did deliver, I might actually stop arguing with people as to whether or not it's better than QuikCheck.

Because it's not.
  12:26am
dustin:

this singers voice sounds so much like Tom Verlaine... i like
  12:27am
yeah:

make her sweat :-P
  12:27am
efd:

Rachel, you have to admit it looks pretty bad when combined with all the shattered Abba LPs I found when I got back from my vacation.
  12:28am
efd:

Dustin: or Brett Anderson...? :)
  12:30am
coalhard:

rachel is getting more attention than i am --i am jealous
  12:31am
efd:

i'm sorry, coalhard. I figured you were already being taken care of by other commenteers.
  12:31am
dustin:

efd: i was actually referring to the king tuff singer
  12:34am
G:

Anyone confused by the 080 title -- It's not fractured Spanish, it's Catalan, a language spoken in a region of Spain. The capital of the region is -- wait for it -- Barcelona. Very closely related to Spanish. Le llei del plaer = The Law of Pleasure
  12:34am
coalhard:

this place like the mental hospital i just broke out of--kidding--
  12:35am
Sybil:

coalhard, you must be much older than you look.
  12:35am
deaconlight:

I didn't realize Frank Black produced that Art Brut album. Thanks for the info.
  12:36am
Sybil:

Thanks for the translation, G. I was quite stumped.
  12:43am
Joe:

"Secretly Canadian" - spectacular.

Also, very much sounds like Blondie. It sounds 20 years old, in a good way.
  12:44am
Laurie:

The flash stream and also the mp3 128k stream keep rebuffering. It's not as bad now... In fact, it appears fine now. Knock on wood.
  12:47am
efd:

thanks Laurie - anyone else having streaming problems? Or is it that Florida weather?
  12:48am
dustin:

fredericks had problems.. i thinks its a florida thing
  12:49am
deaconlight:

Sounds good. We're sitting here outside by the fish pond. Clear as a bell.
  12:50am
oregon sean:

no problems here, but I have 1gig coprocessor too
  12:59am
Michael from the Left Coast:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GYK2j4Tc0Q&feature=related
for all the db's fans this American Bandstand clip contains a surprise midway through it
  1:13am
G:

Yeah, at first I thought it was phonetic Spanish by the group, but then I saw Catala and remembered where Barcelona is. I guessed right that there'd be a Catalan-English dictionary online by now. In Spanish it would be "La ley del placer"
  1:21am
Joe:

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
but he couldn't help me either.
  1:21am
Michael from the Left Coast:

Rush?
Now I'm certain of it
  1:22am
efd:

Michael ftw again! :)
  1:23am
Joe:

NO FUCKING WAY.

AWESOME.
  1:23am
Michael from the Left Coast:

That warble is unmistakable (and horrible)
  1:23am
Sybil:

Tonight is definitely strange covers night.
  1:29am
Danne D:

Evening fellow Funksters :)
  1:31am
efd:

dHello Danne D!
  1:52am
Laurie:

I thought they were called Girls at Our Best! Emphatically!
  1:53am
Danne D:

thx for the comment Laurie - I was starting to think my mere hello had scared everyone off :D
  1:53am
efd:

whoops! you're right! sorry!
  1:54am
Joe:

My schadenfreude is wondering how the fantasy league is doing.
  1:54am
Laurie:

No biggie, Evan! Anyway, it's past my bedtime! Goodnight!
  1:56am
efd:

Joe, I was wondering the same thing, albeit for different reasons.

And speaking of Schadenfreude, how many runs have the Yankees scored in the last week? Three, maybe?
  1:58am
Joe:

You just earned yourself a fist-shake.


*shakes fist*
  1:58am
Danne D:

I'm sliding ever closer to Evan Funk.
1) Ubergoober, 2) Urban Spacemen, 3) paul chain, 4) MrToughs, 5) VanCortlandtRangers, 6) Shaolin Monks, 7)Barre Ks (aka me), 8) Sad Trombones, 9) Lo-fis, 10) EFD's Bill Leefds, 11) Babybunting, 12) Frozen Dopes
  1:59am
Danne D:

Night Evan and his Funkateers!
  1:59am
Joe:

Although you get a "nice moves" on getting the Stamey/Holsapple track to work. Was definitely the highlight of the performance. Technical wizardry!

Great shewwwwww.
  2:00am
Sybil:

G'night Danne!
  2:01am
Sybil:

And goodnight all... thanks EFD!
  2:01am
