WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from August 3, 2011

Listener comments!
	9:02pm G: crankin' it
	9:02pm Danne D: It's Time for the FUNK!
	9:04pm Danne D: My user name looks particularly good in this font, I must say.
	9:05pm john: Played this album almost to dust one summer, several hundred years ago. Still makes me want to get up and run around the block.
	9:05pm G: Showoff :-P
	9:05pm Danne D: M! Nice start, Mr. Davies.
	9:06pm Parq: Woo, something from the 70s followed by a goddam ICON from the 70s.
	9:07pm G: 1978, a third of a CENTURY ago. almost yesterday, sigh!
	9:07pm glenn: why do i get the feeling they wanted to call it pop muzak but the sire lawyers said no?
	9:13pm T-Zero: @Evan: Wow! "M" Was surprised to hear that. I loved the Official Secrets Act
	9:15pm efd: Hi everyone! Thanks for listening tonight. Glenn, I hear what you're saying but at this point it's hard to imagine "muzak" fitting in that song as well as "muzik" does. G, it's alarming how time passes! John, you're talking about the Rich Kids album? It's a good one. How's the doggie doing? Danne, nice to have you here a little earlier than usual tonight. T-Zero, I aim to please. And surprise.
	9:15pm glenn: i think al kooper produced this tubes album. a little surprising.
	9:16pm efd: Todd Rundgren, actually, but Al Kooper's not a bad thought either.
	9:18pm glenn: i just finished his autobiography. way better than keith richard's book, in my opinion. anyway, he produces a tubes album, maybe the first one.
	9:18pm mark: that chaz jankel sounded reminiscent of lindsay/scherer's ambitious lovers. very "cool" start to show.
	9:19pm glenn: his tales of lynyrd skynyrd are pretty funny, too.
	9:19pm cheesy macaroni salad: yeah!
	9:21pm Dave B: TUBES! Made it just in time!!! This one's a gem. Speaking of wierd production... Grand Funk Railroad/Zappa "Good Singin', Good Playin'"... That album kills. What up, EFD?
	9:21pm john: Hey Evan! Yeah, the Rich Kids record--can't quite recall which summer it was I played it to death, but it was a few years after it came out, maybe '82. And thanks for asking, dog had a rough night last night, but we think it was the antibiotics rather than the chemo and he's had a good day today!
	9:24pm Richard from Venezuela: Good evening Evan and all the listeners.
	9:24pm Vinnie Vincent: digging the Tubes
	9:25pm efd: John, glad that today's been an improvement - here's hoping that will continue. Dave, I need to go back and listen to that Grand Funk Zappa-produced LP, I'd forgotten about that one. I really love the way this LP side unfolds, and the mark of Todd is all over it. Glenn, you're right - Al Kooper produced the first Tubes album. What up, cheesy macaroni salad?! Hi Richard, Mark, Vinnie v - glad you're enjoying the show so far!
	9:25pm jim: Shitty ass pseudo hall and oates yacht rock crap
	9:27pm Vinnie Vincent: re: grand Funk/Zappa....the pro gun song is crazy awful good ridiculous (all four)
	9:27pm Vinnie Vincent: i hate doing math
	9:27pm Kat: I'm kind of fascinated by this Tubes side. Completely missed it the first time around.
	9:28pm glenn: i don't necessarily agree, but at least i have a good new term for m.o.r. music . yacht rock. i like it.
	9:28pm Danne D: Hey John, I just finished a course of antibiotics (for my tooth) and I was out today as I think they've caught up with me. Glad your pupper is improving :) yacht rock - there's a phrase I ain't heard in a long time. EFD - you like my sneaky pitcher stashings over the last couple of weeks :) Hoping Santana and Strasbourg works some magic in September.
	9:28pm mike east: Honored to be listening this evening Evan. Hey everybody.
	9:29pm Danne D: We got Love Bomb...perhaps something for ELP's Love Beach isn't far behind? ;o)
	9:29pm dale: this is really the tubes? for real? the tubes?
	9:29pm dale: really?
	9:29pm Dave B: Love Bomb is THE Bomb. Todd is God. @Jim - Todd and Daryl are both Philly boys. I recently had this debate with a friend as to who was trying to emulate whom. The "Live At Daryl's" house where the two of them are actually playing at Todd's place in Hawaii is surprisingly good. Look at me, talking like I know em personally..
	9:30pm glenn: or ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch CHERRY BOMB!!
	9:30pm Dave B: and, please NO to Love Beach. Maybe side one of Tarkus?
	9:31pm mark: btw - todd also produced the remote control lp - always liked that one.
	9:31pm Vinnie Vincent: bwa ha ha. love beach
	9:32pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): Oh Shoot White The White Punks on Dope Tubes... haha
	9:32pm Kat: Didn't Rundgren produce Hall & Oates at some point?
	9:32pm Danne D: LOL Dave B, was joking about Love Beach. I named my first car the Tarkus btw :) Always can go for a little Eruption
	9:33pm glenn: he produced a pretty great pursuit of happiness record.
	9:34pm Danne D: Classic (Unfortunate) Album Cover for Love Beach: http://mitkadem.homestead.com/files/ELP/ELP_Love_Beach.jpg
	9:35pm dale: 'urge overkill' is the first words I heard my one year old nephew say when asked what his big brother was listening to.
	9:36pm Danne D: WOO! It's time for the FUNK! And the best theme song around.
	9:37pm glenn: ummmmmm, how old was his big brother?
	9:37pm Dave B: Daryl Hall's first solo album "Sacred Song" part 3 of the Robert Fripp "Exposure" Peter Gabriel #2 "Scratch" triptych.
	9:38pm Danne D: Perhaps Evan should start his show with something from Love Beach (starting with the 70s as it were) the next time his show falls on 4/1. (Don't worry that's not until 2015).
	9:39pm Danne D: Wow Love Beach actually was a Gold Record.
	9:39pm G: @Kat: Scroll down below Rundgren's own records on the following page for a chrono list of his production credits -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Rundgren_discography
	9:41pm Dave B: and quite possibly the best cover of W.P.O.D. - EVER! Leland Stanford University Marching Band: http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/BL/0512/Leland_Stanford_-_White_Punks.mp3 More here: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/12/mp3_download_di.html
	9:41pm Dave B: @Danne D - more like a "Gold Turd"
	9:44pm G: Robin Scott is still alive and kickin'
	9:45pm john: And let's not forget Midge ditching Visage, pre-Ultravox for a few months touring with Thin Lizzy!
	9:45pm Noah: Sadly Schoolly D canceled only a few hours ago.....
	9:45pm Jalopy K: not sure who was hating on the tubes but that was the soundtrack to the biggest dance party i've had in my car for quite some time now
	9:46pm G: AW MAN, NO SCHOOLLY
	9:47pm Danne D: This is great :) went on a little side trip - looking up crap about Love Beach and that got me thinking of some of those obscure one-off Prog Rock albums (like "3") and I've come to realize that there's a fan for pretty much any album out there - even stuff that I realize was pretty bad in hindsight.
	9:47pm Danne D: Sorry to hear that Schoolly's out :( Hope it's just a postponement and that he'll be on your show soon, Noah.
	9:50pm Dave B: Schooly was "lookin at his Gucci"
	9:50pm Alice Cooper: Schoolly's out completely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	9:51pm Danne D: I'm gonna recede into listening mode now. Was out sick today and really need to rest up. But I'll stay tuned in. Thanks for putting on a great show like you always do, Evan! Enjoy Funk Fans :)
	9:51pm Dave B: @Danne D - I recently went on a Van Der Graff Generator bender. It was shocking.
	9:52pm G: Shockingly bad, or shockingly good?
	9:53pm Kat: @G: Ah, War Babies. No wonder I didn't remember. I see he did the Tubes record right before Skylarking - interesting mental juxtaposition there.
	9:53pm john: Hey Schoolly School, what time IS it?
	9:53pm Dave B: kinda both, if that's even possible.
	9:54pm G: yep, some on that whole rundgren production list i knew, others i didn't
	9:56pm Dave B: AYE PEE BEA!
	9:56pm david in denver: is kid congo really senor coconut?
	9:57pm Vinnie Vincent: Todd has had such a weird and interesting production career.
	10:01pm Kat: Oh dear, I suddenly remember having a conversation of sorts with a member of APB after their show in Chicago back in the day... I think he was hitting on me but he was so polite and his accent was so incomprehensible that I couldn't be sure!
	10:01pm T-Zero: @Danne D: Was off in another room for a sec, searching for something. I must say, I liked Gruppo Sportivo, which may or may not fall in that category of "not so good". And in my hunt... realized I haven't played either The Leather Nun or The Flying Lizards for a long time.
	10:02pm Chris Sims: How dare yous insult Philly's finest, Hall & Oates!
	10:03pm Dave B: The Flying Leather Lizard Nun!
	10:05pm John Sterling: That is Swishalicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:07pm T-Zero: ... and The Photos and The Flyboys
	10:07pm Brooklynite: Dem two's da finest Philly's got?
	10:10pm Vinnie Vincent: woo hoo! new bob!
	10:12pm Dave B: J-STACHE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJZoPIJM6gI
	10:14pm 12539: This is as good a time as any to say that this show is going great, Mr Funk.
	10:17pm efd: Thanks, Mr. or Ms. 12539!
	10:18pm Julie: Hey, music!
	10:18pm Brooklynite: 12359 is his listener #
	10:19pm Vinnie Vincent: this reens tune is quite nice
	10:20pm Lil Funk: Is it really possible that the Smithereens have not changed since 1989?
	10:20pm efd: Brooklynite, I knew that but I wasn't sure if it was a him or a her. Vinne, this Smithereens album is really great all the way through. Hi Julie!
	10:21pm Vinnie Vincent: dennis has got to be one of the rock finest drummers alive
	10:22pm efd: They're the same, but better!
	10:22pm Lil Funk: PS outstanding walk-off homer by Ellsbury with 2 down in the bottom of the 9th!
	10:23pm efd: VV, the drumming at the end of that song I just played is particularly choice. In fact, we'll hear it again presently. LF - woo-hoo! Second walk-off in a row for him, right?
	10:23pm Julie: Is this appropriate dish-washing music? I suppose it is.
	10:23pm Brooklynite: I'm no vet, but he's said he was a he in the past, quite possibly on some other show! Maybe he'll do a Wiener and remove all doubt! :-)
	10:24pm Lil Funk: Yup, sorta-- he singled in the winning run last night. So I suppose he got to walk off the field afterward...
	10:26pm 12539: (Sorry, but no Wiener. I am a he, though.)
	10:27pm Amanda: Hey efd and everyone! Just getting in now. Seeing that I missed the Rich Kids opening made me do a facepalm.
	10:27pm Brooklynite: sorry about the teasing!
	10:28pm 12539: No problem at all.
	10:37pm T-Zero: the butterfly and i -- nice!
	10:38pm calzone!: Swell Shocking Blue track! Dig the big beat and tramb Bonies!
	10:38pm Bananarama: Maybe we should remake this.
	10:38pm Holly in NC: Hi Evan! Looking forward to tonight's show. @Danne, antibiotics can do crazy unwanted things to your body even as they do their good jobs, so rest up and take care. I'm gonna join you in listener-only mode as I'm feeling a wee bit heat sick. But I will be thinking EXCELLENT thoughts at y'all as I lounge in a feet-up reclining position ;-) @Noah - :-( He is rescheduling, yes?
	10:40pm Bigass Carolina Bugs: The heat is too damn HOT!
	10:41pm efd: Hi Holly, hi Amanda! The Evan "Funk" Davies show on WFMU, inducing facepalms since 2004! T-Zero & calzone! - yeah, I love the horn section on that Shocking Blue song. Psyched to see the reissue tonight!
	10:46pm T-Zero: @eft: Yeppers. Wouldn't mind hearing that again :)
	10:52pm Noah: I doubt Schoolly will reschedule, he was coming up to promote his show this Friday at Maxwell's.....
	10:55pm Looking at It: It turned out that he got a lot of publicity from FMU without having to travel extra. His website says he's due 200 miles south of here in Baltimore tomorrow (the 4th).
	10:55pm Danne D: okay popped back for a few comments :) WTG Ellsbury. Way to help out the New Jersey Knuckles of the EFDHHDYDTY Fantasy Baseball League Hiya Julie :) Hiya Amanda :) hiya other late-board-jumper-onners @T-Zero I guess my point was more that every album has its fans as it were :) Dunno from Groupo Sportivo I must say @Vinnie Vincent - DD is the only drummer I'll ever perform with (Well, okay I'd probably make an exception to that rule for EFD) @Holly Feel better! Drink your fluids and I appreciate your kind thoughts :) @Noah Sorry to hear that :( But your show is always quality so no worries :) @efd - strange night. I got here early and Amanda got here late. It's like bizarro world :)
	10:57pm G: @Danne: This is you sick???? Get well soon!
	11:03pm T-Zero: @Danne D: Re every album has its fans.... Yes, that's what I thought you meant and agreed. Gruppo Sportivo were a Dutch (mid 70's pop/post-punk) group. Wikipedia says they're still active, but after the 80s I didn't follow.
	11:04pm Dave B: K - i need to tap out. Til next time, fair listen/comment-ers... EFD - cya!
	11:07pm alberto: midnight movies!!!!
	11:09pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): E.L.P. -- "Rock'n'Roll your Eyes"" at the Midnight Movies !!!!
	11:15pm blah: lousey tix ev
	11:16pm Danne D: LOL - G. Just tired/Wiped out. Felt awful last night.
	11:18pm gift horse: @blah: check my teeth
	11:21pm Siriusly: blue sausage infant - soothing the psyche
	11:22pm Holly in NC: @gift horse - :-)
	11:22pm dave: oh boy am i loving this BSI track.
	11:22pm efd: blah, the folks who called in for those tickets say thanks for liking different stuff from what they like.
	11:23pm Siriusly: Is BSI a form of yoga?
	11:26pm efd: I could be wrong, but I think there are a bunch of people downstairs in the entryway who are hoping to meet Schoolly D.
	11:27pm G: holy crap, good luck ev
	11:27pm Sister Hairy Hymen: Grear show been listening all night Yiu put the T in trip
	11:27pm Danne D: You sure they aren't just your usual post-show groupies, Evan?
	11:27pm dave: yeah, i actually sprained my perrosky going from downward-facing dog to a blue sausage infant pose.
	11:30pm dave: i TOTALLY dare you to rustle up a pair of ray-bans and go down there and start signing autographs as schoolly "funk" d.
	11:31pm KP: This is excellent evan
	11:31pm KP: i mean BSI!
	11:31pm P.E.: i'd say yo, call for help, but 911 is a JOKE
	11:33pm efd: Everything's under control, turns out it's a band that was here for a taping earlier and they're waiting for the rain to let up or something.
	11:36pm Danne D: Anyhow, I'm checking out for real this time. Thanks for a great show, Evan - it's like an affirmation that there are, in fact, that there are things that are purely good in this world. Have a great night all!
	11:37pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): well under control good! but Gravesend brooklyn here and always at your service ..
	11:38pm T-Zero: Night Danne D.
	11:41pm cheesy macaroni salad: awesome
	11:41pm E.L.: When a local retail outfit is playing The Beatles, I sometimes ask, "Who is this?" Inevitably they say, "The Beatles." Then I ask, "Are they local?" Result: everyone hates me— which is fair.
	11:43pm efd: E.L., coincidentally Noah was in here when that song was on saying "Who is this? The Beatles?"
	11:44pm Reggie Dwight: Twas I
	11:45pm efd: Yeah, he got it on the second try.
	11:49pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): I sure was EFD !
	11:53pm E.L.: Will this disco turn into an inferno?
	11:53pm 21 Club: BURN THAT MUTHA DOWN!
	11:55pm JOhn Guggle: Love this Coathangers track. Good looks, efd.
	11:58pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): Like George Clinton once said, "Disco is like Making Love with one stroke !" but I dig the earlier stuff like from '74 '75 say before it was like Molded into that one beat ....
	11:59pm efd: cool, thanks John and thanks to everyone for listening and commenting! E.L., if it does become an inferno I'm not sure if the happy people will want to go there.
	11:59pm Noah: Evan Funk Davies is IN the house! NYC is IN the house, New Jersey is IN the house! Jocko Henderson is IN the house! Scott La Rock is IN the house, Jam Master Jay is IN the house, Mr. Magic is IN the house, Frankie Crocker is IN the house, the Human Beat Box is IN the house, Rob Weisberg is OUT of the house.....
	12:02am Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): Yeah NOAH !! in the HOUSEEE !!!
	12:02am E.L.: Always great to listen in, EFD. See you next week!
	12:02am Noah: DJ Bactrian!
	12:04am Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): yea Gravesend brooklyn ,, !1 the BSN is just an virtual online freak out tent ...
	12:05am (mta) Tony: It was definitely The Office, and it was Ed Helms, you're right, and yes, the show is pure genius.
	12:07am knots: that bit is from the honeymooners. ralph couldn't remember "way down upon the swaney river"
	12:08am On Principal: Schoolly D done expelled his own ass.

	9:25pm efd: John, glad that today's been an improvement - here's hoping that will continue. Dave, I need to go back and listen to that Grand Funk Zappa-produced LP, I'd forgotten about that one. I really love the way this LP side unfolds, and the mark of Todd is all over it. Glenn, you're right - Al Kooper produced the first Tubes album. What up, cheesy macaroni salad?!

	9:27pm Vinnie Vincent: re: grand Funk/Zappa....the pro gun song is crazy awful good ridiculous (all four)
	9:27pm Vinnie Vincent: i hate doing math
	9:27pm Kat: I'm kind of fascinated by this Tubes side. Completely missed it the first time around.
	9:28pm glenn: i don't necessarily agree, but at least i have a good new term for m.o.r. music . yacht rock. i like it.
	9:28pm Danne D: Hey John, I just finished a course of antibiotics (for my tooth) and I was out today as I think they've caught up with me. Glad your pupper is improving :) yacht rock - there's a phrase I ain't heard in a long time. EFD - you like my sneaky pitcher stashings over the last couple of weeks :) Hoping Santana and Strasbourg works some magic in September.
	9:28pm mike east: Honored to be listening this evening Evan. Hey everybody.
	9:29pm Danne D: We got Love Bomb...perhaps something for ELP's Love Beach isn't far behind? ;o)
	9:29pm dale: this is really the tubes? for real? the tubes?
	9:29pm dale: really?
	9:29pm Dave B: Love Bomb is THE Bomb. Todd is God. @Jim - Todd and Daryl are both Philly boys. I recently had this debate with a friend as to who was trying to emulate whom. The "Live At Daryl's" house where the two of them are actually playing at Todd's place in Hawaii is surprisingly good. Look at me, talking like I know em personally..
	9:30pm glenn: or ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch CHERRY BOMB!!
	9:30pm Dave B: and, please NO to Love Beach. Maybe side one of Tarkus?
	9:31pm mark: btw - todd also produced the remote control lp - always liked that one.
	9:31pm Vinnie Vincent: bwa ha ha. love beach
	9:32pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): Oh Shoot White The White Punks on Dope Tubes... haha
	9:32pm Kat: Didn't Rundgren produce Hall & Oates at some point?
	9:32pm Danne D: LOL Dave B, was joking about Love Beach. I named my first car the Tarkus btw :) Always can go for a little Eruption
	9:33pm glenn: he produced a pretty great pursuit of happiness record.
	9:34pm Danne D: Classic (Unfortunate) Album Cover for Love Beach: http://mitkadem.homestead.com/files/ELP/ELP_Love_Beach.jpg
	9:35pm dale: 'urge overkill' is the first words I heard my one year old nephew say when asked what his big brother was listening to.
	9:36pm Danne D: WOO! It's time for the FUNK! And the best theme song around.
	9:37pm glenn: ummmmmm, how old was his big brother?
	9:37pm Dave B: Daryl Hall's first solo album "Sacred Song" part 3 of the Robert Fripp "Exposure" Peter Gabriel #2 "Scratch" triptych.
	9:38pm Danne D: Perhaps Evan should start his show with something from Love Beach (starting with the 70s as it were) the next time his show falls on 4/1. (Don't worry that's not until 2015).
	9:39pm Danne D: Wow Love Beach actually was a Gold Record.
	9:39pm G: @Kat: Scroll down below Rundgren's own records on the following page for a chrono list of his production credits -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Rundgren_discography
	9:41pm Dave B: and quite possibly the best cover of W.P.O.D. - EVER! Leland Stanford University Marching Band: http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/BL/0512/Leland_Stanford_-_White_Punks.mp3 More here: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/12/mp3_download_di.html
	9:41pm Dave B: @Danne D - more like a "Gold Turd"
	9:44pm G: Robin Scott is still alive and kickin'
	9:45pm john: And let's not forget Midge ditching Visage, pre-Ultravox for a few months touring with Thin Lizzy!
	9:45pm Noah: Sadly Schoolly D canceled only a few hours ago.....
	9:45pm Jalopy K: not sure who was hating on the tubes but that was the soundtrack to the biggest dance party i've had in my car for quite some time now
	9:46pm G: AW MAN, NO SCHOOLLY
	9:47pm Danne D: This is great :) went on a little side trip - looking up crap about Love Beach and that got me thinking of some of those obscure one-off Prog Rock albums (like "3") and I've come to realize that there's a fan for pretty much any album out there - even stuff that I realize was pretty bad in hindsight.
	9:47pm Danne D: Sorry to hear that Schoolly's out :( Hope it's just a postponement and that he'll be on your show soon, Noah.
	9:50pm Dave B: Schooly was "lookin at his Gucci"
	9:50pm Alice Cooper: Schoolly's out completely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	9:51pm Danne D: I'm gonna recede into listening mode now. Was out sick today and really need to rest up. But I'll stay tuned in. Thanks for putting on a great show like you always do, Evan! Enjoy Funk Fans :)
	9:51pm Dave B: @Danne D - I recently went on a Van Der Graff Generator bender. It was shocking.
	9:52pm G: Shockingly bad, or shockingly good?
	9:53pm Kat: @G: Ah, War Babies. No wonder I didn't remember. I see he did the Tubes record right before Skylarking - interesting mental juxtaposition there.
	9:53pm john: Hey Schoolly School, what time IS it?
	9:53pm Dave B: kinda both, if that's even possible.
	9:54pm G: yep, some on that whole rundgren production list i knew, others i didn't
	9:56pm Dave B: AYE PEE BEA!
	9:56pm david in denver: is kid congo really senor coconut?
	9:57pm Vinnie Vincent: Todd has had such a weird and interesting production career.
	10:01pm Kat: Oh dear, I suddenly remember having a conversation of sorts with a member of APB after their show in Chicago back in the day... I think he was hitting on me but he was so polite and his accent was so incomprehensible that I couldn't be sure!
	10:01pm T-Zero: @Danne D: Was off in another room for a sec, searching for something. I must say, I liked Gruppo Sportivo, which may or may not fall in that category of "not so good". And in my hunt... realized I haven't played either The Leather Nun or The Flying Lizards for a long time.
	10:02pm Chris Sims: How dare yous insult Philly's finest, Hall & Oates!
	10:03pm Dave B: The Flying Leather Lizard Nun!
	10:05pm John Sterling: That is Swishalicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:07pm T-Zero: ... and The Photos and The Flyboys
	10:07pm Brooklynite: Dem two's da finest Philly's got?
	10:10pm Vinnie Vincent: woo hoo! new bob!
	10:12pm Dave B: J-STACHE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJZoPIJM6gI
	10:14pm 12539: This is as good a time as any to say that this show is going great, Mr Funk.
	10:17pm efd: Thanks, Mr. or Ms. 12539!
	10:18pm Julie: Hey, music!
	10:18pm Brooklynite: 12359 is his listener #
	10:19pm Vinnie Vincent: this reens tune is quite nice
	10:20pm Lil Funk: Is it really possible that the Smithereens have not changed since 1989?
	10:20pm efd: Brooklynite, I knew that but I wasn't sure if it was a him or a her. Vinne, this Smithereens album is really great all the way through. Hi Julie!
	10:21pm Vinnie Vincent: dennis has got to be one of the rock finest drummers alive
	10:22pm efd: They're the same, but better!
	10:22pm Lil Funk: PS outstanding walk-off homer by Ellsbury with 2 down in the bottom of the 9th!
	10:23pm efd: VV, the drumming at the end of that song I just played is particularly choice. In fact, we'll hear it again presently. LF - woo-hoo! Second walk-off in a row for him, right?
	10:23pm Julie: Is this appropriate dish-washing music? I suppose it is.
	10:23pm Brooklynite: I'm no vet, but he's said he was a he in the past, quite possibly on some other show! Maybe he'll do a Wiener and remove all doubt! :-)
	10:24pm Lil Funk: Yup, sorta-- he singled in the winning run last night. So I suppose he got to walk off the field afterward...
	10:26pm 12539: (Sorry, but no Wiener. I am a he, though.)
	10:27pm Amanda: Hey efd and everyone! Just getting in now. Seeing that I missed the Rich Kids opening made me do a facepalm.
	10:27pm Brooklynite: sorry about the teasing!
	10:28pm 12539: No problem at all.
	10:37pm T-Zero: the butterfly and i -- nice!
	10:38pm calzone!: Swell Shocking Blue track! Dig the big beat and tramb Bonies!
	10:38pm Bananarama: Maybe we should remake this.
	10:38pm Holly in NC: Hi Evan! Looking forward to tonight's show. @Danne, antibiotics can do crazy unwanted things to your body even as they do their good jobs, so rest up and take care. I'm gonna join you in listener-only mode as I'm feeling a wee bit heat sick. But I will be thinking EXCELLENT thoughts at y'all as I lounge in a feet-up reclining position ;-) @Noah - :-( He is rescheduling, yes?
	10:40pm Bigass Carolina Bugs: The heat is too damn HOT!
	10:41pm efd: Hi Holly, hi Amanda! The Evan "Funk" Davies show on WFMU, inducing facepalms since 2004! T-Zero & calzone! - yeah, I love the horn section on that Shocking Blue song. Psyched to see the reissue tonight!
	10:46pm T-Zero: @eft: Yeppers. Wouldn't mind hearing that again :)
	10:52pm Noah: I doubt Schoolly will reschedule, he was coming up to promote his show this Friday at Maxwell's.....
	10:55pm Looking at It: It turned out that he got a lot of publicity from FMU without having to travel extra. His website says he's due 200 miles south of here in Baltimore tomorrow (the 4th).
	10:55pm Danne D: okay popped back for a few comments :) WTG Ellsbury. Way to help out the New Jersey Knuckles of the EFDHHDYDTY Fantasy Baseball League Hiya Julie :) Hiya Amanda :) hiya other late-board-jumper-onners @T-Zero I guess my point was more that every album has its fans as it were :) Dunno from Groupo Sportivo I must say @Vinnie Vincent - DD is the only drummer I'll ever perform with (Well, okay I'd probably make an exception to that rule for EFD) @Holly Feel better! Drink your fluids and I appreciate your kind thoughts :) @Noah Sorry to hear that :( But your show is always quality so no worries :) @efd - strange night. I got here early and Amanda got here late. It's like bizarro world :)
	10:57pm G: @Danne: This is you sick???? Get well soon!
	11:03pm T-Zero: @Danne D: Re every album has its fans.... Yes, that's what I thought you meant and agreed. Gruppo Sportivo were a Dutch (mid 70's pop/post-punk) group. Wikipedia says they're still active, but after the 80s I didn't follow.
	11:04pm Dave B: K - i need to tap out. Til next time, fair listen/comment-ers... EFD - cya!
	11:07pm alberto: midnight movies!!!!
	11:09pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): E.L.P. -- "Rock'n'Roll your Eyes"" at the Midnight Movies !!!!
	11:15pm blah: lousey tix ev
	11:16pm Danne D: LOL - G. Just tired/Wiped out. Felt awful last night.
	11:18pm gift horse: @blah: check my teeth
	11:21pm Siriusly: blue sausage infant - soothing the psyche
	11:22pm Holly in NC: @gift horse - :-)
	11:22pm dave: oh boy am i loving this BSI track.
	11:22pm efd: blah, the folks who called in for those tickets say thanks for liking different stuff from what they like.
	11:23pm Siriusly: Is BSI a form of yoga?
	11:26pm efd: I could be wrong, but I think there are a bunch of people downstairs in the entryway who are hoping to meet Schoolly D.
	11:27pm G: holy crap, good luck ev
	11:27pm Sister Hairy Hymen: Grear show been listening all night Yiu put the T in trip
	11:27pm Danne D: You sure they aren't just your usual post-show groupies, Evan?
	11:27pm dave: yeah, i actually sprained my perrosky going from downward-facing dog to a blue sausage infant pose.
	11:30pm dave: i TOTALLY dare you to rustle up a pair of ray-bans and go down there and start signing autographs as schoolly "funk" d.
	11:31pm KP: This is excellent evan
	11:31pm KP: i mean BSI!
	11:31pm P.E.: i'd say yo, call for help, but 911 is a JOKE
	11:33pm efd: Everything's under control, turns out it's a band that was here for a taping earlier and they're waiting for the rain to let up or something.
	11:36pm Danne D: Anyhow, I'm checking out for real this time. Thanks for a great show, Evan - it's like an affirmation that there are, in fact, that there are things that are purely good in this world. Have a great night all!
	11:37pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): well under control good! but Gravesend brooklyn here and always at your service ..
	11:38pm T-Zero: Night Danne D.
	11:41pm cheesy macaroni salad: awesome
	11:41pm E.L.: When a local retail outfit is playing The Beatles, I sometimes ask, "Who is this?" Inevitably they say, "The Beatles." Then I ask, "Are they local?" Result: everyone hates me— which is fair.
	11:43pm efd: E.L., coincidentally Noah was in here when that song was on saying "Who is this? The Beatles?"
	11:44pm Reggie Dwight: Twas I
	11:45pm efd: Yeah, he got it on the second try.
	11:49pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): I sure was EFD !
	11:53pm E.L.: Will this disco turn into an inferno?
	11:53pm 21 Club: BURN THAT MUTHA DOWN!
	11:55pm JOhn Guggle: Love this Coathangers track. Good looks, efd.
	11:58pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): Like George Clinton once said, "Disco is like Making Love with one stroke !" but I dig the earlier stuff like from '74 '75 say before it was like Molded into that one beat ....
	11:59pm efd: cool, thanks John and thanks to everyone for listening and commenting! E.L., if it does become an inferno I'm not sure if the happy people will want to go there.
	11:59pm Noah: Evan Funk Davies is IN the house! NYC is IN the house, New Jersey is IN the house! Jocko Henderson is IN the house! Scott La Rock is IN the house, Jam Master Jay is IN the house, Mr. Magic is IN the house, Frankie Crocker is IN the house, the Human Beat Box is IN the house, Rob Weisberg is OUT of the house.....
	12:02am Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): Yeah NOAH !! in the HOUSEEE !!!
	12:02am E.L.: Always great to listen in, EFD. See you next week!
	12:02am Noah: DJ Bactrian!
	12:04am Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ): yea Gravesend brooklyn ,, !1 the BSN is just an virtual online freak out tent ...
	12:05am (mta) Tony: It was definitely The Office, and it was Ed Helms, you're right, and yes, the show is pure genius.
	12:07am knots: that bit is from the honeymooners. ralph couldn't remember "way down upon the swaney river"
	12:08am On Principal: Schoolly D done expelled his own ass.
