	9:12pm Uncle Michael: Is this the Ted Templeman Tikis?
	9:12pm Handy Haversack: Jack! Happy Funkmas! efd, are you in Studio MH tonight? Or will you be over Marathon? As much as I hate hate hate to do so, I will have to dip out in a few. Kate's feeling poorly and wants some stare-at-mindless TV time (HH: "The Sorrow and the Pity?" K8: "Please stop.") But we'll check back in as we can. Sounding great so far, efd!
	9:13pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, efd! I was waiting...silent.
	9:13pm Figgsrock: Kat—I believe you are correct? EFD, what is that Mantooth song?
	9:13pm Kat in Chicago: feel better, K8!
	9:14pm efd: @Handy, best wishes to K8! I am and will remain in Studio E(FD) for the duration.
	9:14pm efd: @Figgs something like I'm in love with Randy Mantooth? It's by Hair Magic if someone wants to look it up.
	9:14pm efd: Hoboken Jack will know
	9:15pm Handy Haversack: Our thanks, Kat and efd! Good for you, efd. The 100' Ethernet cable is not lightly dismissed once invoked!
	9:15pm bill hanke: this is an "LSD" song!
	9:16pm Figgsrock: @EFD—that’s correct! Found it on Bandcamp.
	9:16pm Sybil: Would you rather ride on Jefferson Airplane or Pelosi's Subway?
	9:16pm Kat in Chicago: @Figgs it's on this playlist www.wfmu.org...
	9:16pm Chop Scott: Studio E(FD) sounding great!
	9:17pm TDK60: I smelled the Airplane.
	9:17pm johnk77: the tubes 1 of the best live shows in the bay area in the 70s also funniest and most theatrical leila and the snakes descended from the tubes and pearl harbor & explosions descended from leila pearl harbor briefly on 415 records
	9:18pm Michael in Montclair: I am sensing another typically EFD-curated opening theme here on tonight's opening set. A San Francisco area connected one.
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: Hard to turn it off if you're going to keep playing my cousin Jorma Kaukonen!
	9:18pm Scott67: G'day Hoboken.J & Medson! ✌😎
	9:19pm Figgsrock: @Kat—wow, last April. That seems like 3 years ago.
	9:19pm prof.fuzz: @Handy: Yeah, you've gotta stay seated with your seatbelt fastened until the Airplane has come to a complete stop...
	9:20pm efd: today's a momentous occasion in the history of The Evan "Funk" Davies: the first time Jack Casady is heard on three different songs during the show!
	9:20pm ultradamno: Drugs huh? I assumed it was an oral sex thing.
	9:20pm TDK60: Hi EFD.
	9:20pm BenZ WPB: I’ll ride with the Airplane. No one feels safe on Pelosi’s or DeBlasio’s subways. What a shame
	9:21pm Uncle Michael: I have an SVT single or two in the basement. And the answer to my Tikis question is 'yes'.
	9:21pm Sybil: In 1970 I was on Al Gore's internet, sending a poem about butterflies to multiple computers on college campuses. Moral: never let a high school teenager near a computer connected to the outside world. It took way too long for that to sink in.
	9:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, Jack!
	9:24pm McGroovey: I saw the Tubes on the Love Bomb tour with Utopia. They were great, but maybe too clean. Both the Tubes and Utopia were in sharp suits with sharp haircuts, and minimalist stage setup. It was the eighties, and they were both post-hits, and both on the verge of breaking up because of falling record sales. They both played great, but of course both band were known for their over-the-top stage shows in the seventies, and this show wasn't that.
	9:24pm ultradamno: I liked some stuff by the band Red Rockers but I wouldn't say they 'ruled'
	9:25pm McGroovey: Huh. I've only ever heard the Sonic Youth cover of Hot Wire My Heart. Cool.
	9:26pm Barkevious Shabazz: Gangster Funk is my fave by Crime. It is the greatest.
	9:27pm ultradamno: I forgot that first Red Rockers was a 415 with Guns of Revolution was a 415 release, it all comes together... Crime does rule, and pays, for that matter
	9:27pm bill hanke: hard fuckin core
	9:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: Possibly the best song ever.
	9:27pm bill hanke: no debating that
	9:28pm ultradamno: The flip of this, Baby You're So Repulsive is my fav Crime
	9:28pm McGroovey: Crime: "San Francisco's first and only rock 'n' roll band" according to Superior Viaduct.
	9:30pm mariano: Hey efd, everyone!
	9:31pm Sybil: Tonight's show sounds better by the moment!
	9:33pm ultradamno: I still own a copy of this comp, with some great Mutants, which demonstrates the little known fear police have of flying musical notes www.discogs.com...
	9:34pm ultradamno: Well, A great Mutants song and a great Offs track too.
	9:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: Been to The Stone and The Omni.
	9:37pm ledzeppelinsucks: Been to Aquarius records.
	9:37pm Power Papi: Cosmo Topper!
	9:38pm radioronan: Howie Klein. KUSF's most famous alumni next to Billy Jam!
	9:42pm sally: Hi Howie!
	9:43pm Sybil: Evan. The Internet, a/k/a DARPAnet, existed in the 1970s
	9:43pm Power Papi: I remember going to Winterland to see the Ramones (along with the Dictators, the Nuns and....Widowmaker) and seeing Howie hanging out with Joey Ramone out front, so I just walked up to them, and Joey autographed my BASS ticket envelope. I still have it!
	9:44pm ledzeppelinsucks: One night inthe 80s on KSAN they announced that a boat had grounded at Ocean Beach. My friend Wes was listening and lived on La PLay a about a block away from the beach. It was a smuggling boat full of Chinese illegals. They all ran up past 35th AVE.
	9:44pm Sybil: You're thinking of the World-Wide Web, which did indeed take awhile.
	9:46pm sally: The Nuns were so great. I loved watching them play.
	9:46pm efd: fair enough, Sybil.
	9:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Mutants New Dark Ages is so good. Insect Lounge too.
	9:46pm Sybil: Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the WWW, is one of my heroes.
	9:46pm ledzeppelinsucks: Used to be many punk shows every night in San Francisco. The Stone had a low ceiling at the stage. Steel pipes as supports in the pit. There are thousands of video tapes somewhere of all of those shows. They used to be in a chain link cage at the back of the floor. They taped every show.
	9:47pm prof.fuzz: Ha! I played "Fascists Eat Donuts" for my family over dinner a few nights ago!
	9:47pm sally: Thanks for saying that..Sally Mutant lol
	9:48pm johnk77: mabuhay gardens was a crucial live venue in sf for this scene nuns w/mike varney 1 of the first punk bands to play there
	9:49pm wenzo llc.: fuck da pigz... creepy bully douchebagzzz saw that clip of that poor kid trying to walk home from Wallmart last night. soooooo disturbing!!!
	9:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: One night I went to a Megadeth show at The Stone and Circle Jerks were playing across the street at Mabuhay.
	9:51pm Barkevious Shabazz: Reached out to the Mutants a year ago trying to track down a great song of theirs called, I think, Parties? I had taped it off a station in Philly, and it was never released. They sent me a file, bless 'em. That song NEEDS to be released.
	9:53pm johnk77: composer of this svt song brian marnell who died 1983 lots of marin county connections here
	9:54pm efd: @johnk didn't their drummer go on to play with Huey Lewis? Or am I thinking of a different band/drummer?
	9:55pm ultradamno: I saw Foreigner and Journey on the same bill once.
	9:56pm johnk77: @efd correct bill gibson first drummer of svt bill and svt soundman mark deadman left svt for huey lewis and the news originally huey lewis & american express
	9:56pm prof.fuzz: @UltraD: Sounds like a state fair gig...
	9:57pm ultradamno: It does, but this was 81, so Double Vision high water mark...
	9:57pm efd: I LOVE how he says "Zepp-a-lin"
	9:58pm ultradamno: err...earlier than that but it was Double Vision tour, the programs had 3D graphics and glasses.
	10:00pm Tommy in Neversink: The bass player got stage fright ?? No one cares about the bass player anyway
	10:01pm ultradamno: twitter.com...
	10:01pm TDK60: I had stage fright now and then; bassist I was too.
	10:01pm Tommy in Neversink: We noted the Zepp-a -lin ......never heard anyone pronounce it like that
	10:01pm ultradamno: Love Pearl Harbour, esp. Don't Follow Me.
	10:03pm Sybil: @efd yow, yes
	10:03pm johnk77: also a bay area band called soundhole in mid 1970s had brian marnell, mario cipollina, johnny colla, bill gibson and others they also backed van morrison live
	10:06pm efd: I'd forgotten how good the B-side of this single is
	10:06pm poptone: this pearl harbor single is so awesome. love "you got it" thank you!
	10:07pm Scott67: G'day Madge! 👍😎
	10:08pm poptone: she should have been a star! love her version of "fujiyama mam"
	10:08pm Dean Mastrantoni: Will NYC ever regain its lore of being the planting fields of esoteric greatness...Warhol, the velvets, Lou Reed, ny dolls, kiss, Sonic Youth, Lydia lunch, Patti smith, talking heads, Blondie, Ramones, television, interpol, bravery, blues traveler, strokes, richard hell & voidoids, dead boys, Madonna, lady Gaga, Vincent Gallo, Mogwai, twisted sister, type o negative, biohazard...I can keep going but point is some are great, some not so great but they sprang from the streets of NY like an inferno magnet and the rest is history...can we get back there again or will Kardashian culture finally annihilate us all, lol...what a fucking travesty, huh...
	10:10pm Dean Mastrantoni: I’d be remiss not to mention the spectacular Billy Joel and Brain Setzer...and must make special mention of the industrial juggernaut CONTROLLED BLEEDING!!!
	10:10pm johnk77: great work @efd the pearl harbor tracks were regularly played on ksan, kusf, ktim and other bay area stations
	10:11pm drowsy: Wow, I've heard more romeo void this week than in the last three decades, and none of it their big "I'd Like You Better". I hadn't appreciated them enough. This is v cool.
	10:11pm TDK60: Mogwai are Scots, pal.
	10:13pm Dean Mastrantoni: Hope NYC can be the kind of place where real artists (not trust fund kids/hipsters) can come and plant there seeds again...the way it used to be since the 50s all the way up to the early 90s at least...and oh yeah: the greatest painter of all time came up in NY & went on to live the rest of his life on the north for, of Long Island ~ JACKSON POLLOCK
	10:14pm Chop Scott: @Dean Mastrantoni: Controlled Bleeding were from Long Island.
	10:14pm Dean Mastrantoni: Typo - North Fork of Long Island... oops, lol 😂
	10:15pm Dean Mastrantoni: Yes Scott...I’m aware...Paul Lemos was English high school teacher at holy trinity high school and I saw them when they supported MINISTRY on “mind is terrible thing to taste” Tour
	10:16pm Dean Mastrantoni: Yep MOGWAI is cool...wish they were from my hometown 🤦🏻‍♀️
	10:17pm ultradamno: Controlled Bleeding were great, loved that Core record they did with Subterranean.
	10:18pm headcleaner: growing up in the '80s, of course I thought Foreigner were Corporate Tools par excellence. But then Samantha's premium with that baptist church cover of "I wanna know what love is" came out, and it just never lets me go
	10:19pm ultradamno: Well, he sounds generous.
	10:24pm Michael in Montclair: Now that the Red Rockers tune that I've been anticipating!
	10:24pm prof.fuzz: did red rockers move from NOLA to SF? they used to play houston fairly regularly up to about 1981 or 82, and then the only time I ever saw them again was when they opened for The Clash at UH on the Combat Rock tour.
	10:25pm pgalub: Always loved this melody. 🎸
	10:25pm ?: Hell yea
	10:26pm efd: @prof, not sure if they actually relocated from New Orleans but they found their way to the label at least.
	10:27pm prof.fuzz: and cut way back on playing houston, it seems...
	10:28pm johnk77: columbia/cbs was not at all the most artist-centric major label of the late 70s early 80s that was warner/elektra/atlantic group of labels but cbs went steadily downhill in early 1980s with west coast office downgraded houston office closed power consolidated in nyc and label sold to sony 1986
	10:33pm ledzeppelinducks: I lived near Balboa BART in 96. There was renovation on the station going for months. I found where they staged the plumbing and began stealing the copper. I took it to Bay Area Scrap Metal on 3rd.
	10:33pm ?: Trueeeeee^
	10:34pm ledzeppelinsucks: The black guys at Bay Area Scrap Metal spoke jive while inspecting the pipes.
	10:35pm Stevel: That’s a sad Annie Liebowitz story.
	10:35pm Sybil: This is phantasmagorical Evan. Thanks
	10:36pm ledzeppelinsucks: There was a San Francisco accent. White working class men that lived in The Avenues had it. I heard it many times on Noriega and Taraval Streets.
	10:37pm prof.fuzz: damn. that goes a long way toward explaining why red rockers lost their punk edge.
	10:37pm Barkevious Shabazz: I'm You're Flag?
	10:38pm efd: I can hear it, Barkevious
	10:39pm johnk77: great interview the producer that howie did want to name is possibly rick chertoff?
	10:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: It sounded barely East Coast.
	10:39pm efd: yeah, we kind of got/get a little off-topic, but you know that the '70s/'80s record biz stuff is like catnip to me.
	10:39pm Sybil: THIS IS WHY I AM A SWAG FOR LIFE WFMU DONOR AND SO SHOULD YOU yes I left the caps lock on on purpose
	10:39pm johnk77: did NOT want to name
	10:40pm B R M: I could listen to this interview forever.
	10:41pm Barkevious Shabazz: Lurv
	10:41pm PortsmouthJay: Hola EFD!

	10:42pm sufferwords: music biz yapping of yore riips
	10:43pm efd: @johnk I think you're probably right
	10:43pm efd: greetings @PJay!
	10:44pm nickybones: awesome interview, efd!
	10:45pm ultradamno: Seems like New Math should have had more of a career, that record was everywhere for awhile.
	10:46pm efd: I loved them, and still do!
	10:46pm poptone: fun '80s band fact: new math became the jet black berries
	10:47pm JohnEBGood: Well there was this band from Boston called The Cars.
	10:47pm headcleaner: anything to do with live music + venues is like catnip to me now
	10:48pm McGroovey: New Math: another band from Rochester.
	10:48pm ultradamno: That probably unnecessarily confused things.
	10:49pm johnk77: rockchester and/or crotchfester
	10:51pm McGroovey: @johnk77 ??
	10:52pm Scott67: That was awesome Evan!
	10:53pm prof.fuzz: great interview
	10:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: Great interview.
	10:53pm ultradamno: I think Crotchfester was a character in the Addams Family porn parody
	10:53pm Chop Scott: Great interview EFD--thanks!
	10:55pm efd: glad you enjoyed it, everyone! More to come!
	10:56pm poptone: spectacular interview. so insightful. the'80s, a wonderful moment in time :) thank you EFD!
	11:01pm headcleaner: an alienating and terrifying time, the 80s... but a wonderful time, also
	11:02pm J Boogie: What just happened?
	11:02pm Stevel: Hi Scott!
	11:02pm ultradamno: A moment to meditate on the greatness of Carl Perkins
	11:03pm prof.fuzz: time to splice repair the 100 ft ethernet cable!
	11:03pm wenzo llc.: lovin' the chaos! wooo yea skeleton powaaaaa!!! the dead are risin' up n' takin ovaaaa

	11:04pm bill hanke: why we luv this. give Scott some! Asteroid Witch! nice save
	11:06pm sass2grass: Yo yo. good show amigo! Very inspiring to hear these people promoted artists and fought those other fucks. ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC

	11:07pm Chop Scott: Huge Cheers to Scott W.--your ever ongoing efforts are deeply appreciated!
	11:08pm Stevel: [narrator voice] Strange as it seems, Scott could find only one record in the entire building...
	11:09pm JohnEBGood: Thanks Scott and Crew for all you do : )
	11:10pm wenzo llc.: what was that last track again?
	11:10pm Bobby K: Aaaaaay Scott!
	11:11pm bill hanke: Paul McCartney?
	11:12pm bill hanke: holy shit
	11:12pm ledzeppelinsucks: I was at The Covered Wagon for a Raw Power and Undisputed Heavyweight Champions show. I went outside to take a break and there was a speed freak prowling cars. SFPD screeched in and hassled me.
	11:12pm bill hanke: is he on drums too?
	11:14pm Scott Williams: currently playing: Paul McCartney "Rode All Night", preceded by Asteroid Witch "Inchwork" and "Asteroid Witch". Macca gtr, I forget who's on drums - I think it was after lunch during Ram sessions
	11:14pm Sally: It sounds like McCartney. If so, I love when Paul sings like this! Such a rocker...
	11:14pm Sally: Thanks Scott!
	11:14pm drowsy: The bleachers go wild!

	11:17pm efd: Thank you Scott, and thanks for your patience everyone!
	11:17pm ledzeppelinsucks: That 38 Geary bus sucks. Between 10AM and 3PM it's loasded with geriatric and ambulatory challenged stopping at the hospitals around Geary and Masonic. Lots of wheel chair lifting. At night its sardined with financial district workers. Saturday and Sunday days lots of chinese people with chickens, cats and other livestock and groceries after shopping for their restaurants. MUNI drivers crank the heat during rain which turns the god damned bus into a sauna. At night 388 Geary is a homeless shelter and psychiatric ward.
	11:18pm ledzeppelinsucks: Too much sand under Geary to make a tunnel for trains.
	11:19pm the break”: Where can I find that song broken girl played during the signal loss anyone know ?
	11:23pm headcleaner: what can I tell you, LZS? It's the city - love it or leave it
	11:26pm efd: some wild stereo separation on this live track!
	11:28pm JohnEBGood: I'm sure John Jett loves that Avengers tune! I sure do!
	11:30pm novakscene: Punk? No way, I'm NEW WAVE.....totally different head
	11:30pm devlawn: I like the term "rye" to describe some of that kind of humor.
	11:33pm johnk77: wry?
	11:33pm ultradamno: Not gluten-free humor.
	11:35pm ultradamno: Dead Kennedys?
	11:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: The Colma BART station is haunted. It is surrounded by cemeteries. BART employees say they have videos from security of weird happenings.
	11:37pm efd: I think they'd count as a later tentpole band, maybe?
	11:38pm beavo: Tent polesWhat the fuck
	11:39pm beavo: Did this guy have a stroke or something
	11:39pm ultradamno: Well, 80 is that far off, same year as the Readymades 12"
	11:39pm johnk77: i believe the first place ramones played in northern california was savoy tivoli?
	11:40pm beavo: zzzzzzzzzzzz

	11:42pm ultradamno: Tuxedomoon have one of their Deaf Club shows on Bandcamp, the liner notes that come with it include a good account of what it was like.
	11:43pm efd: oh cool ultradamno, I'll have to check that out.
	11:43pm beavo: a lot of names being dropped but have no idea what the fuck he’s talking about
	11:43pm devlawn: found the link: https://tuxedomoonarchives.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-deaf-club-1979
	11:44pm Scott67: A unique insight Evan, thanks for making it so!
	11:44pm eric theise: @ultradamno, don't know if you know about Alison O'Daniel's restaging of the last night at the Deaf Club. https://www.mcevoyarts.org/exhibition/alison-odaniel-the-tuba-thieves/
	11:44pm beavo: Christ I never thought that would end
	11:44pm efd: @Scott67 thank you!
	11:45pm beavo: Yeah what a great pay off
	11:46pm drowsy: I liked his talk about scene ingredients, with @efd following up with live cuts.
	11:47pm JohnEBGood: Good old garage rock ; )
	11:47pm ultradamno: @eric Bookmarked! Thanks.
	11:47pm PJ: @Beavo: There are other places you can be. Why do you listen if you don’t like it, and why do you have to tell us repeatedly?
	11:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: That was cool hearing someone talking about San Francisco that knows San Francisco.
	11:51pm ledzeppelinsucks: He didn't say 'Cali' or 'San Fran' ever.
	11:53pm JohnEBGood: Please don't forget I'm New Wave 🎸
	11:53pm johnk77: the deaf club had amazing roster of bands for example the punts w/bonnie hayes
	11:54pm McGroovey: Good show, EFD. You made me go order the Crime "Murder by Guitar" record. Other sensible people will do the same, so Superior Viaduct should thank you! (I kinda like the sound of "Inferior Viaduct" also, but I don't know what it would be the name of.)
	11:56pm ultradamno: They could just put out 3" CDs and 5" vinyl.
	11:56pm McGroovey: beavo should go watch wrestling videos on YouTube or something.
	11:58pm radioronan: Thanks Evan..much thanks Scott and skeleton crew!
	11:59pm JohnEBGood: Now i know how I confused you with Billy Jam. 🕶
	12:00am Scott67: Thanks Evan brilliant stuff man! 👍😎
	1:07pm Cal Zone!: Enjoyed the show EFD! One of my favorite 415 releases was the Roky Erickson and The Aliens Evil One LP. I got my copy when it was released with Howie's promo pitch letter included. Such a brilliant record. Years ago I met Howie and mentioned to him how important that LP was to me. Unfortunately he didnt seem to remember it too well. ;)

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from February 24, 2021

View efd's profile

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show playlists | Next playlist -->

Upcoming events:

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!

February 24, 2021: live from Studio E(FD), with guests Howie Klein and Jonathan Postal talking 415 Records and the SF punk scene

	9:09pm Sybil: Good Wednesday eve Evan, Wow, what a song to go #2 with
	9:09pm Uncle Michael: hey hey hey!
	9:09pm Figgsrock: Having watched Emergency on Cozi-TV throughout the pandemic, that Randolph Mantooth name check in that Tubes song made me giggle.
	9:10pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, HP Ken, McGroove, Handy, and all Wednesday warriors and lovers-not-fighters!
	9:10pm medson: Hi efd, Scott and everyone.
	9:11pm Kat in Chicago: If memory serves, Figgsrock, there's a whole song about Randy Mantooth that Evan has played a couple of times.
	9:11pm Sybil: Uncle Michael, good to see you!
	9:11pm efd: evening's greetings Uncle Michael, Sybil, luka, Figgs, H-Jack, McGroovey, Handy, prof, ultra, KenfHP, bull, Scott67, Michael, sufferwords, and all lurkers and future commenters and anyone I missed!
	9:11pm efd: I think that covers it
	9:12pm Uncle Michael: Is this the Ted Templeman Tikis?
	9:12pm Handy Haversack: Jack! Happy Funkmas! efd, are you in Studio MH tonight? Or will you be over Marathon? As much as I hate hate hate to do so, I will have to dip out in a few. Kate's feeling poorly and wants some stare-at-mindless TV time (HH: "The Sorrow and the Pity?" K8: "Please stop.") But we'll check back in as we can. Sounding great so far, efd!
	9:13pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, efd! I was waiting...silent.
	9:13pm Figgsrock: Kat—I believe you are correct? EFD, what is that Mantooth song?
	9:13pm Kat in Chicago: feel better, K8!
	9:14pm efd: @Handy, best wishes to K8! I am and will remain in Studio E(FD) for the duration.
	9:14pm efd: @Figgs something like I'm in love with Randy Mantooth? It's by Hair Magic if someone wants to look it up.
	9:14pm efd: Hoboken Jack will know
	9:15pm Handy Haversack: Our thanks, Kat and efd! Good for you, efd. The 100' Ethernet cable is not lightly dismissed once invoked!
	9:15pm bill hanke: this is an "LSD" song!
	9:16pm Figgsrock: @EFD—that’s correct! Found it on Bandcamp.
	9:16pm Sybil: Would you rather ride on Jefferson Airplane or Pelosi's Subway?
	9:16pm Kat in Chicago: @Figgs it's on this playlist www.wfmu.org...
	9:16pm Chop Scott: Studio E(FD) sounding great!
	9:17pm TDK60: I smelled the Airplane.
	9:17pm johnk77: the tubes 1 of the best live shows in the bay area in the 70s also funniest and most theatrical leila and the snakes descended from the tubes and pearl harbor & explosions descended from leila pearl harbor briefly on 415 records
	9:18pm Michael in Montclair: I am sensing another typically EFD-curated opening theme here on tonight's opening set. A San Francisco area connected one.
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: Hard to turn it off if you're going to keep playing my cousin Jorma Kaukonen!
	9:18pm Scott67: G'day Hoboken.J & Medson! ✌😎
	9:19pm Figgsrock: @Kat—wow, last April. That seems like 3 years ago.
	9:19pm prof.fuzz: @Handy: Yeah, you've gotta stay seated with your seatbelt fastened until the Airplane has come to a complete stop...
	9:20pm efd: today's a momentous occasion in the history of The Evan "Funk" Davies: the first time Jack Casady is heard on three different songs during the show!
	9:20pm ultradamno: Drugs huh? I assumed it was an oral sex thing.
	9:20pm TDK60: Hi EFD.
	9:20pm BenZ WPB: I’ll ride with the Airplane. No one feels safe on Pelosi’s or DeBlasio’s subways. What a shame
	9:21pm Uncle Michael: I have an SVT single or two in the basement. And the answer to my Tikis question is 'yes'.
	9:21pm Sybil: In 1970 I was on Al Gore's internet, sending a poem about butterflies to multiple computers on college campuses. Moral: never let a high school teenager near a computer connected to the outside world. It took way too long for that to sink in.
	9:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, Jack!
	9:24pm McGroovey: I saw the Tubes on the Love Bomb tour with Utopia. They were great, but maybe too clean. Both the Tubes and Utopia were in sharp suits with sharp haircuts, and minimalist stage setup. It was the eighties, and they were both post-hits, and both on the verge of breaking up because of falling record sales. They both played great, but of course both band were known for their over-the-top stage shows in the seventies, and this show wasn't that.
	9:24pm ultradamno: I liked some stuff by the band Red Rockers but I wouldn't say they 'ruled'
	9:25pm McGroovey: Huh. I've only ever heard the Sonic Youth cover of Hot Wire My Heart. Cool.
	9:26pm Barkevious Shabazz: Gangster Funk is my fave by Crime. It is the greatest.
	9:27pm ultradamno: I forgot that first Red Rockers was a 415 with Guns of Revolution was a 415 release, it all comes together... Crime does rule, and pays, for that matter
	9:27pm bill hanke: hard fuckin core
	9:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: Possibly the best song ever.
	9:27pm bill hanke: no debating that
	9:28pm ultradamno: The flip of this, Baby You're So Repulsive is my fav Crime
	9:28pm McGroovey: Crime: "San Francisco's first and only rock 'n' roll band" according to Superior Viaduct.
	9:30pm mariano: Hey efd, everyone!
	9:31pm Sybil: Tonight's show sounds better by the moment!
	9:33pm ultradamno: I still own a copy of this comp, with some great Mutants, which demonstrates the little known fear police have of flying musical notes www.discogs.com...
	9:34pm ultradamno: Well, A great Mutants song and a great Offs track too.
	9:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: Been to The Stone and The Omni.
	9:37pm ledzeppelinsucks: Been to Aquarius records.
	9:37pm Power Papi: Cosmo Topper!
	9:38pm radioronan: Howie Klein. KUSF's most famous alumni next to Billy Jam!
	9:42pm sally: Hi Howie!
	9:43pm Sybil: Evan. The Internet, a/k/a DARPAnet, existed in the 1970s
	9:43pm Power Papi: I remember going to Winterland to see the Ramones (along with the Dictators, the Nuns and....Widowmaker) and seeing Howie hanging out with Joey Ramone out front, so I just walked up to them, and Joey autographed my BASS ticket envelope. I still have it!
	9:44pm ledzeppelinsucks: One night inthe 80s on KSAN they announced that a boat had grounded at Ocean Beach. My friend Wes was listening and lived on La PLay a about a block away from the beach. It was a smuggling boat full of Chinese illegals. They all ran up past 35th AVE.
	9:44pm Sybil: You're thinking of the World-Wide Web, which did indeed take awhile.
	9:46pm sally: The Nuns were so great. I loved watching them play.
	9:46pm efd: fair enough, Sybil.
	9:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Mutants New Dark Ages is so good. Insect Lounge too.
	9:46pm Sybil: Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the WWW, is one of my heroes.
	9:46pm ledzeppelinsucks: Used to be many punk shows every night in San Francisco. The Stone had a low ceiling at the stage. Steel pipes as supports in the pit. There are thousands of video tapes somewhere of all of those shows. They used to be in a chain link cage at the back of the floor. They taped every show.
	9:47pm prof.fuzz: Ha! I played "Fascists Eat Donuts" for my family over dinner a few nights ago!
	9:47pm sally: Thanks for saying that..Sally Mutant lol
	9:48pm johnk77: mabuhay gardens was a crucial live venue in sf for this scene nuns w/mike varney 1 of the first punk bands to play there
	9:49pm wenzo llc.: fuck da pigz... creepy bully douchebagzzz saw that clip of that poor kid trying to walk home from Wallmart last night. soooooo disturbing!!!
	9:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: One night I went to a Megadeth show at The Stone and Circle Jerks were playing across the street at Mabuhay.
	9:51pm Barkevious Shabazz: Reached out to the Mutants a year ago trying to track down a great song of theirs called, I think, Parties? I had taped it off a station in Philly, and it was never released. They sent me a file, bless 'em. That song NEEDS to be released.
	9:53pm johnk77: composer of this svt song brian marnell who died 1983 lots of marin county connections here
	9:54pm efd: @johnk didn't their drummer go on to play with Huey Lewis? Or am I thinking of a different band/drummer?
	9:55pm ultradamno: I saw Foreigner and Journey on the same bill once.
	9:56pm johnk77: @efd correct bill gibson first drummer of svt bill and svt soundman mark deadman left svt for huey lewis and the news originally huey lewis & american express
	9:56pm prof.fuzz: @UltraD: Sounds like a state fair gig...
	9:57pm ultradamno: It does, but this was 81, so Double Vision high water mark...
	9:57pm efd: I LOVE how he says "Zepp-a-lin"
	9:58pm ultradamno: err...earlier than that but it was Double Vision tour, the programs had 3D graphics and glasses.
	10:00pm Tommy in Neversink: The bass player got stage fright ?? No one cares about the bass player anyway
	10:01pm ultradamno: twitter.com...
	10:01pm TDK60: I had stage fright now and then; bassist I was too.
	10:01pm Tommy in Neversink: We noted the Zepp-a -lin ......never heard anyone pronounce it like that
	10:01pm ultradamno: Love Pearl Harbour, esp. Don't Follow Me.
	10:03pm Sybil: @efd yow, yes
	10:03pm johnk77: also a bay area band called soundhole in mid 1970s had brian marnell, mario cipollina, johnny colla, bill gibson and others they also backed van morrison live
	10:06pm efd: I'd forgotten how good the B-side of this single is
	10:06pm poptone: this pearl harbor single is so awesome. love "you got it" thank you!
	10:07pm Scott67: G'day Madge! 👍😎
	10:08pm poptone: she should have been a star! love her version of "fujiyama mam"
	10:08pm Dean Mastrantoni: Will NYC ever regain its lore of being the planting fields of esoteric greatness...Warhol, the velvets, Lou Reed, ny dolls, kiss, Sonic Youth, Lydia lunch, Patti smith, talking heads, Blondie, Ramones, television, interpol, bravery, blues traveler, strokes, richard hell & voidoids, dead boys, Madonna, lady Gaga, Vincent Gallo, Mogwai, twisted sister, type o negative, biohazard...I can keep going but point is some are great, some not so great but they sprang from the streets of NY like an inferno magnet and the rest is history...can we get back there again or will Kardashian culture finally annihilate us all, lol...what a fucking travesty, huh...
	10:10pm Dean Mastrantoni: I’d be remiss not to mention the spectacular Billy Joel and Brain Setzer...and must make special mention of the industrial juggernaut CONTROLLED BLEEDING!!!
	10:10pm johnk77: great work @efd the pearl harbor tracks were regularly played on ksan, kusf, ktim and other bay area stations
	10:11pm drowsy: Wow, I've heard more romeo void this week than in the last three decades, and none of it their big "I'd Like You Better". I hadn't appreciated them enough. This is v cool.
	10:11pm TDK60: Mogwai are Scots, pal.
	10:13pm Dean Mastrantoni: Hope NYC can be the kind of place where real artists (not trust fund kids/hipsters) can come and plant there seeds again...the way it used to be since the 50s all the way up to the early 90s at least...and oh yeah: the greatest painter of all time came up in NY & went on to live the rest of his life on the north for, of Long Island ~ JACKSON POLLOCK
	10:14pm Chop Scott: @Dean Mastrantoni: Controlled Bleeding were from Long Island.
	10:14pm Dean Mastrantoni: Typo - North Fork of Long Island... oops, lol 😂
	10:15pm Dean Mastrantoni: Yes Scott...I’m aware...Paul Lemos was English high school teacher at holy trinity high school and I saw them when they supported MINISTRY on “mind is terrible thing to taste” Tour
	10:16pm Dean Mastrantoni: Yep MOGWAI is cool...wish they were from my hometown 🤦🏻‍♀️
	10:17pm ultradamno: Controlled Bleeding were great, loved that Core record they did with Subterranean.
	10:18pm headcleaner: growing up in the '80s, of course I thought Foreigner were Corporate Tools par excellence. But then Samantha's premium with that baptist church cover of "I wanna know what love is" came out, and it just never lets me go
	10:19pm ultradamno: Well, he sounds generous.
	10:24pm Michael in Montclair: Now that the Red Rockers tune that I've been anticipating!
	10:24pm prof.fuzz: did red rockers move from NOLA to SF? they used to play houston fairly regularly up to about 1981 or 82, and then the only time I ever saw them again was when they opened for The Clash at UH on the Combat Rock tour.
	10:25pm pgalub: Always loved this melody. 🎸
	10:25pm ?: Hell yea
	10:26pm efd: @prof, not sure if they actually relocated from New Orleans but they found their way to the label at least.
	10:27pm prof.fuzz: and cut way back on playing houston, it seems...
	10:28pm johnk77: columbia/cbs was not at all the most artist-centric major label of the late 70s early 80s that was warner/elektra/atlantic group of labels but cbs went steadily downhill in early 1980s with west coast office downgraded houston office closed power consolidated in nyc and label sold to sony 1986
	10:33pm ledzeppelinducks: I lived near Balboa BART in 96. There was renovation on the station going for months. I found where they staged the plumbing and began stealing the copper. I took it to Bay Area Scrap Metal on 3rd.
	10:33pm ?: Trueeeeee^
	10:34pm ledzeppelinsucks: The black guys at Bay Area Scrap Metal spoke jive while inspecting the pipes.
	10:35pm Stevel: That’s a sad Annie Liebowitz story.
	10:35pm Sybil: This is phantasmagorical Evan. Thanks
	10:36pm ledzeppelinsucks: There was a San Francisco accent. White working class men that lived in The Avenues had it. I heard it many times on Noriega and Taraval Streets.
	10:37pm prof.fuzz: damn. that goes a long way toward explaining why red rockers lost their punk edge.
	10:37pm Barkevious Shabazz: I'm You're Flag?
	10:38pm efd: I can hear it, Barkevious
	10:39pm johnk77: great interview the producer that howie did want to name is possibly rick chertoff?
	10:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: It sounded barely East Coast.
	10:39pm efd: yeah, we kind of got/get a little off-topic, but you know that the '70s/'80s record biz stuff is like catnip to me.
	10:39pm Sybil: THIS IS WHY I AM A SWAG FOR LIFE WFMU DONOR AND SO SHOULD YOU yes I left the caps lock on on purpose
	10:39pm johnk77: did NOT want to name
	10:40pm B R M: I could listen to this interview forever.
	10:41pm Barkevious Shabazz: Lurv
	10:41pm PortsmouthJay: Hola EFD!

	10:43pm efd: greetings @PJay!
	10:44pm nickybones: awesome interview, efd!
	10:45pm ultradamno: Seems like New Math should have had more of a career, that record was everywhere for awhile.
	10:46pm efd: I loved them, and still do!
	10:46pm poptone: fun '80s band fact: new math became the jet black berries
	10:47pm JohnEBGood: Well there was this band from Boston called The Cars.
	10:47pm headcleaner: anything to do with live music + venues is like catnip to me now
	10:48pm McGroovey: New Math: another band from Rochester.
	10:48pm ultradamno: That probably unnecessarily confused things.
	10:49pm johnk77: rockchester and/or crotchfester
	10:51pm McGroovey: @johnk77 ??
	10:52pm Scott67: That was awesome Evan!
	10:53pm prof.fuzz: great interview
	10:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: Great interview.
	10:53pm ultradamno: I think Crotchfester was a character in the Addams Family porn parody

	10:55pm efd: glad you enjoyed it, everyone! More to come!
	10:56pm poptone: spectacular interview. so insightful. the'80s, a wonderful moment in time :) thank you EFD!
	11:01pm headcleaner: an alienating and terrifying time, the 80s... but a wonderful time, also
	11:02pm J Boogie: What just happened?
	11:02pm Stevel: Hi Scott!
	11:02pm ultradamno: A moment to meditate on the greatness of Carl Perkins
	11:03pm prof.fuzz: time to splice repair the 100 ft ethernet cable!
	11:03pm wenzo llc.: lovin' the chaos! wooo yea skeleton powaaaaa!!! the dead are risin' up n' takin ovaaaa

	11:09pm JohnEBGood: Thanks Scott and Crew for all you do : )
	11:10pm wenzo llc.: what was that last track again?
	11:10pm Bobby K: Aaaaaay Scott!
	11:11pm bill hanke: Paul McCartney?
	11:12pm bill hanke: holy shit
	11:12pm ledzeppelinsucks: I was at The Covered Wagon for a Raw Power and Undisputed Heavyweight Champions show. I went outside to take a break and there was a speed freak prowling cars. SFPD screeched in and hassled me.
	11:12pm bill hanke: is he on drums too?
	11:14pm Scott Williams: currently playing: Paul McCartney "Rode All Night", preceded by Asteroid Witch "Inchwork" and "Asteroid Witch". Macca gtr, I forget who's on drums - I think it was after lunch during Ram sessions
	11:14pm Sally: It sounds like McCartney. If so, I love when Paul sings like this! Such a rocker...
	11:14pm Sally: Thanks Scott!
	11:14pm drowsy: The bleachers go wild!

	11:17pm efd: Thank you Scott, and thanks for your patience everyone!
	11:17pm ledzeppelinsucks: That 38 Geary bus sucks. Between 10AM and 3PM it's loasded with geriatric and ambulatory challenged stopping at the hospitals around Geary and Masonic. Lots of wheel chair lifting. At night its sardined with financial district workers. Saturday and Sunday days lots of chinese people with chickens, cats and other livestock and groceries after shopping for their restaurants. MUNI drivers crank the heat during rain which turns the god damned bus into a sauna. At night 388 Geary is a homeless shelter and psychiatric ward.
	11:18pm ledzeppelinsucks: Too much sand under Geary to make a tunnel for trains.
	11:19pm the break”: Where can I find that song broken girl played during the signal loss anyone know ?
	11:23pm headcleaner: what can I tell you, LZS? It's the city - love it or leave it
	11:26pm efd: some wild stereo separation on this live track!
	11:28pm JohnEBGood: I'm sure John Jett loves that Avengers tune! I sure do!
	11:30pm novakscene: Punk? No way, I'm NEW WAVE.....totally different head
	11:30pm devlawn: I like the term "rye" to describe some of that kind of humor.
	11:33pm johnk77: wry?
	11:33pm ultradamno: Not gluten-free humor.
	11:35pm ultradamno: Dead Kennedys?
	11:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: The Colma BART station is haunted. It is surrounded by cemeteries. BART employees say they have videos from security of weird happenings.
	11:37pm efd: I think they'd count as a later tentpole band, maybe?

	1:07pm Cal Zone!: Enjoyed the show EFD! One of my favorite 415 releases was the Roky Erickson and The Aliens Evil One LP. I got my copy when it was released with Howie's promo pitch letter included. Such a brilliant record. Years ago I met Howie and mentioned to him how important that LP was to me. Unfortunately he didnt seem to remember it too well. ;)
