	12:02pm No Big Thing in Chicago: Good afternoon efd and folks! Excited for the opportunity to listen live for the first time in a while. Wednesdays are tough.

	12:04pm MarginWalker in Baltimore: 🫡 good afternoon to yall
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @12:03 I think so ...
	12:04pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "oh no, it's you" by "the passions" The music is kinda Wire-iah. I guess it's the drums and maybe the guitar sound.
	12:04pm common: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" the best!
	12:05pm Figgsrock: Afternoon EFD and everyone.
	12:06pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @12:04 Wire-ish
	12:06pm attis: Good afternoon funkers.
	12:06pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" so this is where the "where's your head at" sample came form
	12:06pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" a lot of them came to my showdown, old song sounding very explicit to scares, even goes chainsaw massacre on a RAY RI in Los Angeles
	12:06pm MarginWalker in Baltimore: Wire-iah Carey?
	12:07pm McGroovey: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @12:06 Kinda, yeah
	12:09pm Stevel: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" Saw GN a couple of years ago, opening for Ministry. I'd do it again.
	12:09pm modern blaze: HARDCORE III: on undisclosed location!
	12:10pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, McGroove, Figgsrock, Handy, Cait, Krys, Prof, everybody!
	12:10pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "no prisoners" by "zed" i know this song, been lately
	12:11pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" "Cars" was his big hit song
	12:11pm Cait Brennan: Hi Jack!
	12:11pm Will thee SG OCNY: Good afternoon efd and all!!!
	12:11pm bob_ham: This is the perfect soundtrack for the 3x3 bssketball on the TV.
	12:11pm Barbara in PA: @Handy, that would be me on guitar, lol. Claire Bidwell on bass.
	12:12pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "no prisoners" by "zed" If the guitars and drums played 2x faster, this could be a rejected Buzzcocks song.
	12:13pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Hoboken Jack, Handy Haversack, prof.fuzz, Krys O, common, McGroovey, james, bradford!
	12:14pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @12:12 Or, actually, with synths instead of guitars, it could be a rejected Homo Sapiens song.
	12:14pm efd: ↳ Barbara in PA @12:11 Hi Barbara! Who was the lead singer on that one?
	12:14pm modern blaze: ah, cold
	12:15pm Scott from Boston: I admit I like Eddie Money… there, I said it
	12:15pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "can't keep a good man down" by "eddie money" I don't think I've heard this song since high school. My friends' band covered a couple Eddy Money songs, I think.
	12:16pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Song: "can't keep a good man down" by "eddie money" Sort of... RIP Eddie
	12:16pm efd: ↳ Song: "can't keep a good man down" by "eddie money" this song is the greatest
	12:17pm Minnechristo: I saw Eddie Money open for Alice Cooper in '79. I still have a visual memory of a spotlight reflecting off his very shiny sax
	12:18pm Scott from Boston: Minniechristo….nice show!!!
	12:18pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @12:11 Hey there Will!
	12:20pm Minnechristo: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:18 It was my second concert as a young teen. The first was KISS with Uriah Heep
	12:21pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:16 It is one of the best LP deep cuts in his catalog. I heard "Think I'm in Love" on AT40 countdown on Monday and man did I crank that up.
	12:21pm C Michael play: jusr strolling thru and having a great time so far!
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "missing on the subway" by "the dogs" Holy crap, a singing dog!
	12:22pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "missing on the subway" by "the dogs" i still think this song is good not to sometimes i still think this song is good!
	12:23pm modern blaze: used to write acomp songs
	12:25pm modern blaze: gunna getch yau in yau ferrytawn sau yau gunna pai
	12:25pm efd: ↳ modern blaze @12:25 buddy, you've got to dial it back a little.
	12:26pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "you're not for me" by "underachievers" That unmistakable warm sound of vinyl
	12:26pm modern blaze: ↳ efd @12:25 listening
	12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @12:25 I haven't actually understood anything he's said, so far.
	12:28pm Matt en Queens: Greetings efd and all
	12:30pm Scott from Boston: Minnechristo! My first show was kiss as well 1976! Rock family we are
	12:31pm Bruce S.: efd you're comeing back with a vengence, hey funksters
	12:34pm johnk77: eddie mahoney was a good guy off-stage the couple of times in the 70s i got to hang with him
	12:34pm Cait Brennan: "Maybe I'm a Fool" maybe?
	12:34pm Scott from Boston: Johnk77, cool to hear. How did that happen? Are you a musician as well?
	12:36pm chris g: I believe Maybe I'm a Fool was the first single released
	12:37pm robfoto: I was at that Central Park Dr Pepper show, Eddie Money was the headliner I’m pretty sure.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: Argh, I have been missing Pop Roxx for too long.
	12:38pm johnk77: retired sound guy/tour manager it might have been very early 1980s he was on columbia or cbs managed by bill graham probably introduced at parties by a mutual friend?
	12:39pm Scott from Boston: Nice memories you have there Johnk77! Material possessions can never match up to those kind of experiences
	12:39pm Bruce S.: I associate eddie Money with Tom Petty,george thorougood, the cars ,John "coogar"Mellencamp,they all had big hits at around the same time. I guess they were considered New Wave at the time
	12:40pm Barbara in PA: @EFD Moi :)
	12:40pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Bruce S. @12:39 They were definitely marketed as such at points.
	12:41pm johnk77: at the time it was said of bill graham he was a better promoter than a manager? bill was certainly 1 of the very best rock promoters i ever met in the summer of 1980 i was touring w/ tommy tutone as we provided support for tom petty & heartbreakers
	12:41pm efd: ↳ Barbara in PA @12:40 I thought so!
	12:42pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "tally ho" by "the clean" DJs might appreciate that this also got a recent re-release on 7" by Merge.
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "tally ho" by "the clean" Martin later mentions the Clean in "Soft Bomb": If you'd asked me at a concert standing by The Clean I'd have said I'm okay, and this is what I mean
	12:43pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "tally ho" by "the clean" Very sad but worthwhile doc. on Martin Phillipps available on Amazon for $4. www.amazon.com... Thanks for this memory Evan. Cheers
	12:44pm Kat in the chat: Well this is sad about Martin Phillipps, I've enjoyed much of his work over the years, and I know what you mean EFD about people our age passing
	12:44pm McGroovey: ↳ Bruce S. @12:39 I never thought of any of this people as "new wave". My friends' bands covered songs by those people, and my friends hated "new wave" as much as they hated disco. They did cover a couple Cars songs, though. Shhhh. I didn't tell them.
	12:44pm tadpoles: ↳ tadpoles @12:43 Hamish Kilgour briefly in it too.
	12:45pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "pink frost" by "the chills" Thank you for that link!
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: My one Martin story - I had the setlist from the Chills show at Woody's in 1990 and eventually found contact info for Martin. I wrote to say I had the setlist, and his representative wrote back to say Martin wanted it. So I sent it back to Martin, and then eventually he had to give up all the things he'd kept (to a dangerous degree) including, I'm sure, that set list.
	12:46pm Mick: Just learning the news about Martin Phillipps - tremendously sad. Thanks for sharing this tribute, EFD
	12:46pm Bruce S.: ↳ McGroovey @12:44 well they were marketed as new wave, guess they were the corporate end of new wave on the radio
	12:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "pink frost" by "the chills" this song is scary sad - a true classic
	12:48pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "RIP Martin Phillipps" Friends and I saw the clientele last night (le poisson rouge, nyc) but Martin was in our minds. RIP. his funeral will be viewable online. Aug 9(?)
	12:49pm johnk77: skinny tie was a sub-culture of musical style? in the before times
	12:49pm Bruce S.: I think alot of people thought of Billy Joel as New Wave
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ herb.nyc @12:48 Heard you win tix to the New Pornographers this morning, herb! Nicely done!
	12:50pm herb.nyc: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 I was at that show! And Martin was selling his stuff (via Facebook), w money to help put his affairs in order.
	12:51pm pgalub: Hey efd and everyone. RIP Martin. One of my all-time favorites.
	12:51pm slocker: Rest in Power. Beautiful set in tribute, Evan
	12:51pm Cait Brennan: Very sad about Martin Phillipps and enjoying this set. Always loved the Chills. When they were on WB/Slash I was working at Tower and the label would send the cheesiest promo swag--"Submarine Bells" came with reusable ice cubes so you'd "catch the Chills" and "Soft Bomb" came with an actual nerf-foam old-timey looking bomb. Ah, marketing. RIP Martin.
	12:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "heavenly pop hit" by "the chills" Heavenly indeed
	12:52pm herb.nyc: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:49 Yes, thx. (Uh, I phoned in to Evan when he had a 10-1am show. Midnight was ticket giveaway. And I won. For The new pornographers! At Webster hall. I took my neice who had never seen them. We had great time. I glove you, Evan)
	12:52pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "i love my leather jacket" by "the chills" thanks for the backstory on this one EFD. I only knew of the Lou Reed cover. these songs are so nostalgic!
	12:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Bruce S. @12:49 Billy Joel had one album that was marketed as New Wave, as did Linda Ronstadt.
	12:53pm dave miss: ↳ herb.nyc @12:52 Midnight at the Oasis!
	12:54pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "heavenly pop hit" by "the chills" Due to success of this song, city of Dunedin threw Martin and band a parade. (I read that in liner notes to a chills cd)
	12:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ dave miss @12:53 Midnight TICKET Oasis. I miss that.
	12:55pm Bruce S.: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:53 all those Billy Joel records from the 80s are sort of New Wavish, He really cashed in on that trend
	12:55pm herb.nyc: ↳ dave miss @12:53 Haha. But it’s Midnight at the Ticket Oasis
	12:55pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 That Woody's show was a great one.
	12:55pm herb.nyc: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:54 Ya beat me to it. Yay
	12:56pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ joe mulligan @12:47 Pink Frost is a masterpiece. Still my favorite Chills song.
	12:57pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ pgalub @12:51 Hey pgalub. The Chills are one of my all time favorite bands too.
	12:58pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "ocean ocean" by "the chills" Heavy Holsapple presence on this album good stuff!
	12:58pm pgalub: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @12:57 Great minds think alike! And then there's us. ;)
	12:58pm herb.nyc: I jokingly made little paper contracts for Martin’s 4 bandmates, and gave to them in 2019. Asking them to come to my (imaginary) label. Martin was there and he looked puzzled. That’s making me smile, and a little teary
	12:58pm McGroovey: ↳ herb.nyc @12:54 So it must be true!
	1:00pm McGroovey: ↳ herb.nyc @12:58 I'm guessing they were ALL puzzled, actually.
	1:00pm herb.nyc: ↳ McGroovey @1:00 Haha. I have a contract for you too. But I just ripped it up. Sorry
	1:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "new millennium" by "martin phillipps & the chills" I'm pretty sure I first heard this on Bill Kelly's show. It had been awhile since we'd heard from the Chills, as I recall. Produced by Craig Leon.
	1:02pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "new millennium" by "martin phillipps & the chills" Dave Matocks from Fairport on drums for this album.
	1:02pm McGroovey: ↳ herb.nyc @1:00 I'm willing to renegotiate, if the terms are sensible.
	1:02pm joe mulligan: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @12:56 i wonder what the storyline is about. was it a drug overdose?
	1:03pm efd: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:02 definitely a Teenage Wasteland favorite, also the first place I heard it
	1:04pm herb.nyc: I have a slew of NZ articles on the chills, and others. From 1990(?) on. Had a pen pal (snail mail) I oughta go thru them
	1:05pm Mike From Brooklyn: I didn't hear it directly from Martin, but from what I've read, it was about a dream. Waking up, thinking you did something terrible in your sleep.
	1:06pm No Big Thing in Chicago: Really enjoying and appreciating all these remembrances and recollections.
	1:09pm Spikey BXL: A band that had completely evaded me - again WFMU sets me straight in the best possible way.
	1:10pm efd: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @1:06 same, thanks for sharing everyone!
	1:11pm Mike From Brooklyn: Thanks for the Chills set EFD. Martin's passing hit me hard. I've since been avoiding listening to The Chills, making me too sad. I think I can start listening again now.
	1:12pm tadpoles: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @1:11 Ditto....thanks EFD.
	1:13pm listener 126464: Nice set, thank you, efd.
	1:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "in a coma again" by "love, burns" Or two items in a series.
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "caravaggio" by "bloodwork" Well now. This is great.
	1:32pm efd: I guess everyone else went to listen to Martin Phillipps on Joe's show!
	1:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:32 Well I'm digging it!
	1:34pm Handy Haversack: Bandcamp wishlist swelling ...
	1:34pm mariano: ↳ Song: "jimmy (is an agent)" by "love fiend" Anyone feeling a Depeche Mode vibe?
	1:35pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:33 so am I!
	1:35pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ mariano @1:34 I was thinking Ramones
	1:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:34 SUBDIVISIONS
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:34 It had been long enough since your last manifestation that I was going to send a subethereal communication today to make sure you hadn't gotten lost in the phlogiston or anything. Glad you showed up!
	1:37pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "jimmy (is an agent)" by "love fiend" Really into this! New to me.
	1:44pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:35 SUBDIVISIONS
	1:46pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:36 Yeah, I'm way behind on catching up with folks, sorry. Hope you and K8 are well! Really gonna try to make it up that way for the anniversary bash.
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:46 That would be amazing!
	1:50pm egould: ↳ Song: "kiki you complete me" by "los bitchos" This is a fun one. :-)
	1:52pm Steve Harsh: Great sets Evan, rocking tunes definitely what I'm needing today!
	1:52pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "angelica" by "wet leg" Volume always goes up on Wet Leg
	1:52pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and friends. Sounds like we're heading toward New Wave just a little ...
	1:54pm Michele with One "L": ↳ Song: "angelica" by "wet leg" Did they break up? Hi EFD!
	1:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "angelica" by "wet leg" The "I don't want to follow you on the 'Gram" line inches this toward Techtonic territory.
	1:56pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 I might even wear my seersucker jacket, add a touch of Southern class to the proceedings. I'll sit in the corner sipping a julep and dispensing the occasional bon mot while fanning myself with my Panama hat.
	1:58pm efd: ↳ Michele with One "L" @1:54 did they? I haven't heard anything about them in a while. I had this song in my head for a while and then Olivia played something else by them on Monday so I figured the time is right for a comeback!
	1:59pm Bruce S.: EFD =Excellent Music from Bands I no nothing about and they question weather WFMU is educational
	1:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:56 I am glad we have not already assigned that role!
	2:00pm Bruce S.: gee my spelling is really horrible
	2:00pm steveo: Bam!
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Behind the Woodpile with efd ...
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Faye filling in again, I think?
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: Gaylord! Right! Faye another Friday night, I think. August is the fill-in month.
	2:05pm Bklyn_Dutch: Wow! Bolinas CA is a secret - shhhh!
	2:05pm C Michael play: ↳ Feldy @1:52 same
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: Ah, thanks, efd! Been waiting for someone to play this new single!
	2:06pm efd: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @2:05 Salinas, not Bolinas!
	2:08pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "electricity" by "lael neale" I love lael neale
	2:08pm Michele with One "L": ↳ Song: "electricity" by "lael neale" 🖤
	2:09pm tim: Hey efd and everyone! Digging this song! I've never heard a bad electricity song.
	2:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @2:09 You would have if Tesla had had his way!
	2:12pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "pasadena" by "system exclusive" Ahoy! This one's kinda Motels-y 💘
	2:13pm tim: Damn you, Nikola!
	2:14pm Carmichael: ↳ diciassette @2:12 I was gonna say Human League-y ...
	2:14pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @2:14 something for everyone!
	2:15pm diciassette: ↳ Carmichael @2:14 Did they have a kid or something?
	2:15pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:10 Here we go again with the electricity!
	2:16pm efd: ↳ tim @2:15 ha!
	2:16pm Carmichael: One of the "trifecta", along with El Dorado and New World Record.
	2:17pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @2:15 Watt's wrong with that?
	2:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:17 He's just amped up.
	2:18pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:18 these comments are getting revolting
	2:19pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:17 Nothing at all! I'm just trying to counter Handy's counter-revolutionary propaganda about electricity. I refer you to my comment at 2:09. ;) How are you feeling?
	2:19pm love2laf: ↳ efd @2:18 It's true, we should take a zen break and chant "ohm".
	2:19pm diciassette: ↳ efd @2:18 ohm I!
	2:20pm efd: ↳ tim @2:19 I think you need to read Cheryl's comment more closely.
	2:20pm Spikey BXL: you'll all be shocked
	2:20pm egould: 2/3rds of pun is PU.
	2:21pm tim: ↳ love2laf @2:19 Or read some Alan "Watts". Howdy love2laf!
	2:21pm efd: ↳ egould @2:20 Counterpoint: pun is only one letter away from fun!
	2:21pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "one summer dream" by "the electric light orchestra" Just picked up a gorgeous reissue of the first ELO record at the fairly new Paradise of Replica on Grand Street. @EFD, have you been there?
	2:21pm Cheryl The Nerd: That really hertz
	2:21pm tim: ↳ Song: "memory man" by "the lovely eggs" This album title is eggstremely approriate for the discussion happening now.
	2:21pm Carmichael: ↳ tim @2:21 While we're listening to something current
	2:22pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:21 Ha!
	2:22pm love2laf: Howdy tim! Hello everyone, loving the music efd, just a wee on the quiet side today, but puns are like catnip to me!
	2:22pm egould: ↳ efd @2:21 Hahaha!
	2:22pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @2:21 Eggsactly!
	2:23pm Cheryl The Nerd: I'm cracking up 🤣
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @2:21 And I've got angstrom my pants.
	2:23pm love2laf: Resistor give in to the word play.
	2:24pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:23 But does your dad have Asteroids?
	2:24pm Figgsrock: I look away from the board for 15 minutes and this place goes punny!
	2:24pm holly: EFD this set is just what I needed today! great stuff
	2:25pm mndave: Was going to join in but omelet it go.
	2:26pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:24 Don't mind us, we're just yolking it up
	2:26pm Minnechristo: ↳ mndave @2:25 mndave for the win!
	2:26pm Bruce S.: the show has kind of a dreamy quality today which is nice
	2:28pm Spikey BXL: ↳ love2laf @2:22 pundamentalist!
	2:28pm tim: Whoever said that "puns are the lowest form of humor" is obviously not an efd show fan.
	2:28pm Bruce S.: the Herb Dark Experience
	2:29pm katharsis: Hellos. Journals vocal reminds of husker du
	2:29pm love2laf: ↳ Spikey BXL @2:28 And eggsistentialist!
	2:29pm Handy Haversack: An egglectic and egglectric set.
	2:29pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @2:28 That's ok, we've got friends in low places.
	2:30pm common: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:29 perfect
	2:31pm Spikey BXL: ↳ love2laf @2:29 puns make you come out of your shell
	2:31pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:29 That's right!
	2:32pm Handy Haversack: CDs. Man, I am tempted. But we have record storage (briefly, contingently, and swellingly) solved, but CD storage is past capacity, and I don't know how to increase it. CD shelves are tricksome.
	2:32pm tim: CD nerds? Was that a subliminal attempt to get Cheryl to the sale?
	2:32pm Hughie Considine: Who's got another band named for a sentence fragment? I'm wrackin' my brains over here.
	2:33pm Ike: I had a dented egg and meant to try frying it on the sidewalk a couple of weeks ago when it was theoretically hot enough.
	2:34pm tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:32 Joe Baiza's punk jazzbo band The Universal Congress Of.
	2:34pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Tom Kenny was absolutely brilliant on Mr. Show.
	2:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ tim @2:34 Ah, yes. Of Montreal seems to fit the bill as well.
	2:35pm tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:34 Good one!
	2:35pm holly: yoooo this rules
	2:35pm efd: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:32 I think I was thinking of the TV show His Dark Materials, haha! But the point stands!
	2:35pm egould: Ironsides siren!
	2:36pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "guzzle blood" by "les savy fav" I just saw these guys on Seth Meyers a few weeks ago, and found out that the guitarist and bassist for the *G Band are members. The lead singer is ... uhhh ... DIFFERENT.
	2:37pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @2:36 8G Band, Seth Meyers Show band
	2:39pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @2:37 So part of the house band became part of the guest band?
	2:39pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @2:36 I actually worked at the same place as the singer for a while in the mid-2000s, was not aware of his extracurricular activities!
	2:39pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:32 I'm now using plastic storage drawers from the Container Store. They're not perfect but they'll do.
	2:39pm common: ↳ Carmichael @2:36 a band i was in opened for them a few times. long...long ago
	2:40pm clarke: dynOmite!!!
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:39 We're also just totally out of wall and floor space. We live in a (semi-)glorified hallway. Records can go on bookshelves, but CDs really can't, or not in any kind of organized way.

	2:41pm tim: ↳ Song: "predictable pan (theme from a book of perfectly d... This is cool. I must confess that I lost interest in Liars because of the cover art on their records - hahaha. Superficial but true.
	2:41pm Carmichael: ↳ tim @2:39 I think part of the house band were already members of les savy fav. But they played as part of the guest band, which confused my walnut-sized brain ...

	2:47pm egould: ↳ Bruce S. @2:45 Sneaky motorik.
	2:47pm clarke: the two brain cells connect at times.

	2:48pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:48 doh!
	2:49pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @2:45 Third world class, maybe.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from July 31, 2024

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.

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!

	12:02pm No Big Thing in Chicago: Good afternoon efd and folks! Excited for the opportunity to listen live for the first time in a while. Wednesdays are tough.

	12:04pm MarginWalker in Baltimore: 🫡 good afternoon to yall
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @12:03 I think so ...
	12:04pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "oh no, it's you" by "the passions" The music is kinda Wire-iah. I guess it's the drums and maybe the guitar sound.
	12:04pm common: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" the best!
	12:05pm Figgsrock: Afternoon EFD and everyone.
	12:06pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @12:04 Wire-ish
	12:06pm attis: Good afternoon funkers.
	12:06pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" so this is where the "where's your head at" sample came form
	12:06pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" a lot of them came to my showdown, old song sounding very explicit to scares, even goes chainsaw massacre on a RAY RI in Los Angeles
	12:06pm MarginWalker in Baltimore: Wire-iah Carey?
	12:07pm McGroovey: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @12:06 Kinda, yeah
	12:09pm Stevel: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" Saw GN a couple of years ago, opening for Ministry. I'd do it again.
	12:09pm modern blaze: HARDCORE III: on undisclosed location!
	12:10pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, McGroove, Figgsrock, Handy, Cait, Krys, Prof, everybody!
	12:10pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "no prisoners" by "zed" i know this song, been lately
	12:11pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Song: "m.e." by "gary numan" "Cars" was his big hit song
	12:11pm Cait Brennan: Hi Jack!
	12:11pm Will thee SG OCNY: Good afternoon efd and all!!!
	12:11pm bob_ham: This is the perfect soundtrack for the 3x3 bssketball on the TV.
	12:11pm Barbara in PA: @Handy, that would be me on guitar, lol. Claire Bidwell on bass.
	12:12pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "no prisoners" by "zed" If the guitars and drums played 2x faster, this could be a rejected Buzzcocks song.
	12:13pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Hoboken Jack, Handy Haversack, prof.fuzz, Krys O, common, McGroovey, james, bradford!
	12:14pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @12:12 Or, actually, with synths instead of guitars, it could be a rejected Homo Sapiens song.
	12:14pm efd: ↳ Barbara in PA @12:11 Hi Barbara! Who was the lead singer on that one?
	12:14pm modern blaze: ah, cold
	12:15pm Scott from Boston: I admit I like Eddie Money… there, I said it
	12:15pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "can't keep a good man down" by "eddie money" I don't think I've heard this song since high school. My friends' band covered a couple Eddy Money songs, I think.
	12:16pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Song: "can't keep a good man down" by "eddie money" Sort of... RIP Eddie
	12:16pm efd: ↳ Song: "can't keep a good man down" by "eddie money" this song is the greatest
	12:17pm Minnechristo: I saw Eddie Money open for Alice Cooper in '79. I still have a visual memory of a spotlight reflecting off his very shiny sax
	12:18pm Scott from Boston: Minniechristo….nice show!!!
	12:18pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @12:11 Hey there Will!
	12:20pm Minnechristo: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:18 It was my second concert as a young teen. The first was KISS with Uriah Heep
	12:21pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:16 It is one of the best LP deep cuts in his catalog. I heard "Think I'm in Love" on AT40 countdown on Monday and man did I crank that up.
	12:21pm C Michael play: jusr strolling thru and having a great time so far!
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "missing on the subway" by "the dogs" Holy crap, a singing dog!
	12:22pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "missing on the subway" by "the dogs" i still think this song is good not to sometimes i still think this song is good!
	12:23pm modern blaze: used to write acomp songs
	12:25pm modern blaze: gunna getch yau in yau ferrytawn sau yau gunna pai
	12:25pm efd: ↳ modern blaze @12:25 buddy, you've got to dial it back a little.
	12:26pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "you're not for me" by "underachievers" That unmistakable warm sound of vinyl
	12:26pm modern blaze: ↳ efd @12:25 listening
	12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @12:25 I haven't actually understood anything he's said, so far.
	12:28pm Matt en Queens: Greetings efd and all
	12:30pm Scott from Boston: Minnechristo! My first show was kiss as well 1976! Rock family we are
	12:31pm Bruce S.: efd you're comeing back with a vengence, hey funksters
	12:34pm johnk77: eddie mahoney was a good guy off-stage the couple of times in the 70s i got to hang with him
	12:34pm Cait Brennan: "Maybe I'm a Fool" maybe?
	12:34pm Scott from Boston: Johnk77, cool to hear. How did that happen? Are you a musician as well?
	12:36pm chris g: I believe Maybe I'm a Fool was the first single released
	12:37pm robfoto: I was at that Central Park Dr Pepper show, Eddie Money was the headliner I’m pretty sure.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: Argh, I have been missing Pop Roxx for too long.
	12:38pm johnk77: retired sound guy/tour manager it might have been very early 1980s he was on columbia or cbs managed by bill graham probably introduced at parties by a mutual friend?
	12:39pm Scott from Boston: Nice memories you have there Johnk77! Material possessions can never match up to those kind of experiences
	12:39pm Bruce S.: I associate eddie Money with Tom Petty,george thorougood, the cars ,John "coogar"Mellencamp,they all had big hits at around the same time. I guess they were considered New Wave at the time
	12:40pm Barbara in PA: @EFD Moi :)
	12:40pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Bruce S. @12:39 They were definitely marketed as such at points.
	12:41pm johnk77: at the time it was said of bill graham he was a better promoter than a manager? bill was certainly 1 of the very best rock promoters i ever met in the summer of 1980 i was touring w/ tommy tutone as we provided support for tom petty & heartbreakers
	12:41pm efd: ↳ Barbara in PA @12:40 I thought so!
	12:42pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "tally ho" by "the clean" DJs might appreciate that this also got a recent re-release on 7" by Merge.
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "tally ho" by "the clean" Martin later mentions the Clean in "Soft Bomb": If you'd asked me at a concert standing by The Clean I'd have said I'm okay, and this is what I mean
	12:43pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "tally ho" by "the clean" Very sad but worthwhile doc. on Martin Phillipps available on Amazon for $4. www.amazon.com... Thanks for this memory Evan. Cheers
	12:44pm Kat in the chat: Well this is sad about Martin Phillipps, I've enjoyed much of his work over the years, and I know what you mean EFD about people our age passing
	12:44pm McGroovey: ↳ Bruce S. @12:39 I never thought of any of this people as "new wave". My friends' bands covered songs by those people, and my friends hated "new wave" as much as they hated disco. They did cover a couple Cars songs, though. Shhhh. I didn't tell them.
	12:44pm tadpoles: ↳ tadpoles @12:43 Hamish Kilgour briefly in it too.
	12:45pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "pink frost" by "the chills" Thank you for that link!
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: My one Martin story - I had the setlist from the Chills show at Woody's in 1990 and eventually found contact info for Martin. I wrote to say I had the setlist, and his representative wrote back to say Martin wanted it. So I sent it back to Martin, and then eventually he had to give up all the things he'd kept (to a dangerous degree) including, I'm sure, that set list.
	12:46pm Mick: Just learning the news about Martin Phillipps - tremendously sad. Thanks for sharing this tribute, EFD
	12:46pm Bruce S.: ↳ McGroovey @12:44 well they were marketed as new wave, guess they were the corporate end of new wave on the radio
	12:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "pink frost" by "the chills" this song is scary sad - a true classic
	12:48pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "RIP Martin Phillipps" Friends and I saw the clientele last night (le poisson rouge, nyc) but Martin was in our minds. RIP. his funeral will be viewable online. Aug 9(?)
	12:49pm johnk77: skinny tie was a sub-culture of musical style? in the before times
	12:49pm Bruce S.: I think alot of people thought of Billy Joel as New Wave
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ herb.nyc @12:48 Heard you win tix to the New Pornographers this morning, herb! Nicely done!
	12:50pm herb.nyc: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 I was at that show! And Martin was selling his stuff (via Facebook), w money to help put his affairs in order.
	12:51pm pgalub: Hey efd and everyone. RIP Martin. One of my all-time favorites.
	12:51pm slocker: Rest in Power. Beautiful set in tribute, Evan
	12:51pm Cait Brennan: Very sad about Martin Phillipps and enjoying this set. Always loved the Chills. When they were on WB/Slash I was working at Tower and the label would send the cheesiest promo swag--"Submarine Bells" came with reusable ice cubes so you'd "catch the Chills" and "Soft Bomb" came with an actual nerf-foam old-timey looking bomb. Ah, marketing. RIP Martin.
	12:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "heavenly pop hit" by "the chills" Heavenly indeed
	12:52pm herb.nyc: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:49 Yes, thx. (Uh, I phoned in to Evan when he had a 10-1am show. Midnight was ticket giveaway. And I won. For The new pornographers! At Webster hall. I took my neice who had never seen them. We had great time. I glove you, Evan)
	12:52pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "i love my leather jacket" by "the chills" thanks for the backstory on this one EFD. I only knew of the Lou Reed cover. these songs are so nostalgic!
	12:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Bruce S. @12:49 Billy Joel had one album that was marketed as New Wave, as did Linda Ronstadt.
	12:53pm dave miss: ↳ herb.nyc @12:52 Midnight at the Oasis!
	12:54pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "heavenly pop hit" by "the chills" Due to success of this song, city of Dunedin threw Martin and band a parade. (I read that in liner notes to a chills cd)
	12:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ dave miss @12:53 Midnight TICKET Oasis. I miss that.
	12:55pm Bruce S.: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:53 all those Billy Joel records from the 80s are sort of New Wavish, He really cashed in on that trend
	12:55pm herb.nyc: ↳ dave miss @12:53 Haha. But it’s Midnight at the Ticket Oasis
	12:55pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 That Woody's show was a great one.
	12:55pm herb.nyc: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:54 Ya beat me to it. Yay
	12:56pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ joe mulligan @12:47 Pink Frost is a masterpiece. Still my favorite Chills song.
	12:57pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ pgalub @12:51 Hey pgalub. The Chills are one of my all time favorite bands too.
	12:58pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "ocean ocean" by "the chills" Heavy Holsapple presence on this album good stuff!
	12:58pm pgalub: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @12:57 Great minds think alike! And then there's us. ;)
	12:58pm herb.nyc: I jokingly made little paper contracts for Martin’s 4 bandmates, and gave to them in 2019. Asking them to come to my (imaginary) label. Martin was there and he looked puzzled. That’s making me smile, and a little teary
	12:58pm McGroovey: ↳ herb.nyc @12:54 So it must be true!
	1:00pm McGroovey: ↳ herb.nyc @12:58 I'm guessing they were ALL puzzled, actually.
	1:00pm herb.nyc: ↳ McGroovey @1:00 Haha. I have a contract for you too. But I just ripped it up. Sorry
	1:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "new millennium" by "martin phillipps & the chills" I'm pretty sure I first heard this on Bill Kelly's show. It had been awhile since we'd heard from the Chills, as I recall. Produced by Craig Leon.
	1:02pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "new millennium" by "martin phillipps & the chills" Dave Matocks from Fairport on drums for this album.
	1:02pm McGroovey: ↳ herb.nyc @1:00 I'm willing to renegotiate, if the terms are sensible.
	1:02pm joe mulligan: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @12:56 i wonder what the storyline is about. was it a drug overdose?
	1:03pm efd: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:02 definitely a Teenage Wasteland favorite, also the first place I heard it
	1:04pm herb.nyc: I have a slew of NZ articles on the chills, and others. From 1990(?) on. Had a pen pal (snail mail) I oughta go thru them
	1:05pm Mike From Brooklyn: I didn't hear it directly from Martin, but from what I've read, it was about a dream. Waking up, thinking you did something terrible in your sleep.
	1:06pm No Big Thing in Chicago: Really enjoying and appreciating all these remembrances and recollections.
	1:09pm Spikey BXL: A band that had completely evaded me - again WFMU sets me straight in the best possible way.
	1:10pm efd: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @1:06 same, thanks for sharing everyone!
	1:11pm Mike From Brooklyn: Thanks for the Chills set EFD. Martin's passing hit me hard. I've since been avoiding listening to The Chills, making me too sad. I think I can start listening again now.
	1:12pm tadpoles: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @1:11 Ditto....thanks EFD.
	1:13pm listener 126464: Nice set, thank you, efd.
	1:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "in a coma again" by "love, burns" Or two items in a series.
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "caravaggio" by "bloodwork" Well now. This is great.
	1:32pm efd: I guess everyone else went to listen to Martin Phillipps on Joe's show!
	1:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:32 Well I'm digging it!
	1:34pm Handy Haversack: Bandcamp wishlist swelling ...
	1:34pm mariano: ↳ Song: "jimmy (is an agent)" by "love fiend" Anyone feeling a Depeche Mode vibe?
	1:35pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:33 so am I!
	1:35pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ mariano @1:34 I was thinking Ramones
	1:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:34 SUBDIVISIONS
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:34 It had been long enough since your last manifestation that I was going to send a subethereal communication today to make sure you hadn't gotten lost in the phlogiston or anything. Glad you showed up!
	1:37pm No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "jimmy (is an agent)" by "love fiend" Really into this! New to me.
	1:44pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:35 SUBDIVISIONS
	1:46pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:36 Yeah, I'm way behind on catching up with folks, sorry. Hope you and K8 are well! Really gonna try to make it up that way for the anniversary bash.
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:46 That would be amazing!
	1:50pm egould: ↳ Song: "kiki you complete me" by "los bitchos" This is a fun one. :-)
	1:52pm Steve Harsh: Great sets Evan, rocking tunes definitely what I'm needing today!
	1:52pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "angelica" by "wet leg" Volume always goes up on Wet Leg
	1:52pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and friends. Sounds like we're heading toward New Wave just a little ...
	1:54pm Michele with One "L": ↳ Song: "angelica" by "wet leg" Did they break up? Hi EFD!
	1:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "angelica" by "wet leg" The "I don't want to follow you on the 'Gram" line inches this toward Techtonic territory.
	1:56pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 I might even wear my seersucker jacket, add a touch of Southern class to the proceedings. I'll sit in the corner sipping a julep and dispensing the occasional bon mot while fanning myself with my Panama hat.
	1:58pm efd: ↳ Michele with One "L" @1:54 did they? I haven't heard anything about them in a while. I had this song in my head for a while and then Olivia played something else by them on Monday so I figured the time is right for a comeback!
	1:59pm Bruce S.: EFD =Excellent Music from Bands I no nothing about and they question weather WFMU is educational
	1:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:56 I am glad we have not already assigned that role!
	2:00pm Bruce S.: gee my spelling is really horrible
	2:00pm steveo: Bam!
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Behind the Woodpile with efd ...
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Faye filling in again, I think?
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: Gaylord! Right! Faye another Friday night, I think. August is the fill-in month.
	2:05pm Bklyn_Dutch: Wow! Bolinas CA is a secret - shhhh!
	2:05pm C Michael play: ↳ Feldy @1:52 same
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: Ah, thanks, efd! Been waiting for someone to play this new single!
	2:06pm efd: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @2:05 Salinas, not Bolinas!
	2:08pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "electricity" by "lael neale" I love lael neale
	2:08pm Michele with One "L": ↳ Song: "electricity" by "lael neale" 🖤
	2:09pm tim: Hey efd and everyone! Digging this song! I've never heard a bad electricity song.
	2:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @2:09 You would have if Tesla had had his way!
	2:12pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "pasadena" by "system exclusive" Ahoy! This one's kinda Motels-y 💘
	2:13pm tim: Damn you, Nikola!
	2:14pm Carmichael: ↳ diciassette @2:12 I was gonna say Human League-y ...
	2:14pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @2:14 something for everyone!
	2:15pm diciassette: ↳ Carmichael @2:14 Did they have a kid or something?
	2:15pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:10 Here we go again with the electricity!
	2:16pm efd: ↳ tim @2:15 ha!
	2:16pm Carmichael: One of the "trifecta", along with El Dorado and New World Record.
	2:17pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @2:15 Watt's wrong with that?
	2:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:17 He's just amped up.
	2:18pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:18 these comments are getting revolting
	2:19pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:17 Nothing at all! I'm just trying to counter Handy's counter-revolutionary propaganda about electricity. I refer you to my comment at 2:09. ;) How are you feeling?
	2:19pm love2laf: ↳ efd @2:18 It's true, we should take a zen break and chant "ohm".
	2:19pm diciassette: ↳ efd @2:18 ohm I!
	2:20pm efd: ↳ tim @2:19 I think you need to read Cheryl's comment more closely.
	2:20pm Spikey BXL: you'll all be shocked
	2:20pm egould: 2/3rds of pun is PU.
	2:21pm tim: ↳ love2laf @2:19 Or read some Alan "Watts". Howdy love2laf!
	2:21pm efd: ↳ egould @2:20 Counterpoint: pun is only one letter away from fun!
	2:21pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "one summer dream" by "the electric light orchestra" Just picked up a gorgeous reissue of the first ELO record at the fairly new Paradise of Replica on Grand Street. @EFD, have you been there?
	2:21pm Cheryl The Nerd: That really hertz
	2:21pm tim: ↳ Song: "memory man" by "the lovely eggs" This album title is eggstremely approriate for the discussion happening now.
	2:21pm Carmichael: ↳ tim @2:21 While we're listening to something current
	2:22pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:21 Ha!
	2:22pm love2laf: Howdy tim! Hello everyone, loving the music efd, just a wee on the quiet side today, but puns are like catnip to me!
	2:22pm egould: ↳ efd @2:21 Hahaha!
	2:22pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @2:21 Eggsactly!
	2:23pm Cheryl The Nerd: I'm cracking up 🤣
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @2:21 And I've got angstrom my pants.
	2:23pm love2laf: Resistor give in to the word play.
	2:24pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:23 But does your dad have Asteroids?
	2:24pm Figgsrock: I look away from the board for 15 minutes and this place goes punny!
	2:24pm holly: EFD this set is just what I needed today! great stuff
	2:25pm mndave: Was going to join in but omelet it go.
	2:26pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:24 Don't mind us, we're just yolking it up
	2:26pm Minnechristo: ↳ mndave @2:25 mndave for the win!
	2:26pm Bruce S.: the show has kind of a dreamy quality today which is nice
	2:28pm Spikey BXL: ↳ love2laf @2:22 pundamentalist!
	2:28pm tim: Whoever said that "puns are the lowest form of humor" is obviously not an efd show fan.
	2:28pm Bruce S.: the Herb Dark Experience
	2:29pm katharsis: Hellos. Journals vocal reminds of husker du
	2:29pm love2laf: ↳ Spikey BXL @2:28 And eggsistentialist!
	2:29pm Handy Haversack: An egglectic and egglectric set.
	2:29pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @2:28 That's ok, we've got friends in low places.
	2:30pm common: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:29 perfect
	2:31pm Spikey BXL: ↳ love2laf @2:29 puns make you come out of your shell
	2:31pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:29 That's right!
	2:32pm Handy Haversack: CDs. Man, I am tempted. But we have record storage (briefly, contingently, and swellingly) solved, but CD storage is past capacity, and I don't know how to increase it. CD shelves are tricksome.
	2:32pm tim: CD nerds? Was that a subliminal attempt to get Cheryl to the sale?
	2:32pm Hughie Considine: Who's got another band named for a sentence fragment? I'm wrackin' my brains over here.
	2:33pm Ike: I had a dented egg and meant to try frying it on the sidewalk a couple of weeks ago when it was theoretically hot enough.
	2:34pm tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:32 Joe Baiza's punk jazzbo band The Universal Congress Of.
	2:34pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Tom Kenny was absolutely brilliant on Mr. Show.
	2:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ tim @2:34 Ah, yes. Of Montreal seems to fit the bill as well.
	2:35pm tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:34 Good one!
	2:35pm holly: yoooo this rules
	2:35pm efd: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:32 I think I was thinking of the TV show His Dark Materials, haha! But the point stands!
	2:35pm egould: Ironsides siren!
	2:36pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "guzzle blood" by "les savy fav" I just saw these guys on Seth Meyers a few weeks ago, and found out that the guitarist and bassist for the *G Band are members. The lead singer is ... uhhh ... DIFFERENT.
	2:37pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @2:36 8G Band, Seth Meyers Show band
	2:39pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @2:37 So part of the house band became part of the guest band?
	2:39pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @2:36 I actually worked at the same place as the singer for a while in the mid-2000s, was not aware of his extracurricular activities!
	2:39pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:32 I'm now using plastic storage drawers from the Container Store. They're not perfect but they'll do.
	2:39pm common: ↳ Carmichael @2:36 a band i was in opened for them a few times. long...long ago
	2:40pm clarke: dynOmite!!!
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:39 We're also just totally out of wall and floor space. We live in a (semi-)glorified hallway. Records can go on bookshelves, but CDs really can't, or not in any kind of organized way.
	2:41pm clarke: tardiness due to a luncheon thang
	2:41pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @2:32 I was planning to go. Now it depends on whether I feel well enough to go out in the heat.
	2:41pm tim: ↳ Song: "predictable pan (theme from a book of perfectly d... This is cool. I must confess that I lost interest in Liars because of the cover art on their records - hahaha. Superficial but true.
	2:41pm Carmichael: ↳ tim @2:39 I think part of the house band were already members of les savy fav. But they played as part of the guest band, which confused my walnut-sized brain ...
	2:42pm clarke: walnut - that's BIG!
	2:43pm prof.fuzz: just getting back from a long lunch meeting... looks like i'll be in the archives later to catch what i missed... playlist looks great!
	2:43pm clarke: i'm pistascio level (see my spellling?)
	2:44pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	2:44pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @2:41 Right. That sounds a bit like a sagely riddle that I can never figure out. "How does one become a guest in their own house?"
	2:45pm clarke: RIP Martin, btw.
	2:45pm egould: This set is very French adjacent.
	2:45pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @2:44 ClærkEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	2:45pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:43 Hey prof! I might recommend also reading the archived comments to for some world class hilarity!

	2:46pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @2:45 will do!

	2:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "king of louisiana" by "chateau de lait" "Help me somebody!"
	2:46pm diciassette: ↳ clarke @2:43 that seems to be the phonetically correct Italian spelling for the way we pronounce it (other than that I have no idea what's going on)
	2:47pm egould: ↳ Bruce S. @2:45 Sneaky motorik.
	2:47pm clarke: the two brain cells connect at times.
	2:48pm efd: man, that would have been a nice segue if I'd pressed the autostart button for the turntable more forcefully
	2:48pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:48 doh!
	2:49pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ tim @2:45 Third world class, maybe.
	2:49pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "king of louisiana" by "chateau de lait" This track reminded me of some of the first Big Audio Dynamite album--which is meant as a high compliment.
	2:49pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ efd @2:06 Okay, thanks and forget I mentioned the other location.
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:46 Or just read this one!
	2:49pm egould: ↳ Figgsrock @2:49 Damn dude, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
	2:50pm tim: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:49 Ha!
	2:50pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @2:45 very punny stuff!
	2:52pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "bangs" by "amy rigby" Yay for Amy Rigby!
