WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from October 27, 2010

Listener comments!
	2:31pm efd: I'll break the ice by saying that I'll definitely be playing the first two on the list, as they came highly recommended by Chuck Warner. Haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, though.
	3:30pm Joe B: stories andy paley ian lloyd 5000 Volts
	3:31pm Joe B: The Wild Carnation track is great too, though I know what that sounds like!
	3:32pm Amanda: It's so magical when InterActiv RF Listening Party time comes around! Make mine White Lies, Blue Eyes by Bullet, 1-hit wonder extraordinaire. I think I'd also like to hear what Tin Tin sounds like.
	3:46pm efd: I'm curious about that Tin Tin single too. It's not the Stephen Duffy Tintin, obvs. Joe, thanks for your requests! The b-side of the 5000 Volts single is "Still On Fire," or something like that, which just makes it that much more intriguing.
	3:55pm Missouri Mike: Sorry fellow listeners, but I need to hear the All Sports Band.
	4:16pm Pat in Philadelphia: Ladies Who Lunch -"Everybody's Happy Nowadays" Radio Stars - "Dirty Pictures" Steve Dahl & Teenage Radiation - "Do You Think I'm Disco" Richard Strange - "International Language" John Cale - "Dead Or Alve" Don't know if I'll be able to listen live, Evan, but I'll be checking out the archive later.
	5:20pm efd: Thanks Pat! I may not be able to fit all of those in, but I'll spin at least a couple of them for sure. M. Mike, no need to apologize - even without your request I would have been inflicting that on the listeners.
	5:20pm mackro: Stanky Brown Group and, most importantly, the All Sports Band!
	5:45pm Jason G: That Mets album, the John Cale, The Tights (great find!)
	6:06pm Marc: I can always dig on some Brian Ferry - "This Is Tomorrow", and John Cale - "Dead or Alive"...hmmmm how many do i get to suggest?
	7:50pm Joe: Praxis! 1984! It's the only really good track on that EP unfortunately. Also, George Baker and APB. Though I have no doubt you were going to play APB anyway. PS EFD- The Praxis EP is not self-titled, it's titled "1984", however its pretty hard to tell from the packaging.
	8:53pm minnesota jeff: I second the John Cale request. PLUS: "Lets go mets" Cochise - Loves made a fool of you Humans - "I Live In The City"
	9:02pm E.L.: How are we going to top Howard Hughes?
	9:04pm john: I can't turn down Be Bop Deluxe, esp as I nearly bought it myself! and Rich Kids, played that album to dust 30 years ago. Great haul!
	9:05pm Scott: The Humans EP is great, I have that. Def. play "I Live in the City". Id like to hear the Rich Kids, John Cale, and BeBop DeLuxe singles.
	9:05pm john: I'll double Scott's picks and add the John Cale. Got my dorm heartily sick of that record decades ago...
	9:06pm Holly in NC: 5000 volts, stories, steve dahl, uncle vic
	9:09pm efd: Hi everyone! 5000 Volts coming up... you(se) asked for it!
	9:11pm efd: man, this is like proto-Lime Hi-NRG!
	9:11pm cheri: happy early halloween evan---i want to hear tin tin tonite,,,or maybe some halloween tunes if you have any,,
	9:17pm cheri: ohhhh btw evan goin to any halloween parties this weekend??? i will be ,,,i'll be dresseed as princess fiona from shrek,,
	9:17pm efd: I actually have NO Halloween music in the studio tonight, but Dave the Spazz is doing a great Spooktacular/Spazztacular halloween show tomorrow night!
	9:18pm Joe: this is spectacular. Just really really great. Wow.
	9:18pm arfortiyef: wow, fantastic buzzcocks cover!
	9:18pm cheri: i'll be listening evan
	9:20pm efd: Loving all the requests! I do believe I'll need to extend the InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party into a second set to accommodate them (as well as my own!)
	9:20pm efd: also, stay tuned for the awesome new efd theme song!!
	9:21pm cheri: efd--will you play tin tin for me??
	9:21pm Holly in NC: This IS good - I'd only ever heard the 'Kims we love' 7" before - thanks!
	9:21pm efd: yep, tin tin coming up in the next set. (It's the early 70s Tin Tin, btw)
	9:22pm minnesota jeff: CALE!
	9:24pm Joe: this is the worst bon jovi cover I've ever heard.
	9:26pm cheri: evan please deticate it to me,,thnx evan,,,
	9:26pm peterntrinh: BIG UPS TO EUGE!
	9:27pm minnesota jeff: Whooooooaaaaaa, and EFD themed Jam!
	9:27pm Kat: New theme is made of awesome!
	9:30pm Kat: Also I'm curious to hear the Brian Protheroe... have a vague recollection of that from the 70s
	9:31pm RexxHavoc: yoh! pop the cap on the mo-at n spray that Champagne - "Rock & Roll Star"
	9:33pm minnesota jeff: All Sports Band cover: http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/allsportsband.jpg
	9:37pm john: Freddy Sanchez has just hit his third straight double off Lee.
	9:38pm cheri: evan could you please deticate the tin tin tune to me,,,i know i can always count on you evan,,
	9:39pm minnesota jeff: Question: Can anyone think of why "Honi Soit" of all of John Cales album would be the only one to make it on the US billboard charts? This is the album that had the Cale track EFD played. I've never heard the album - but it just seems odd to me.
	9:42pm Amanda: Heh! Better than toast & marmalade, probably.
	9:43pm john: I'd guess because it had a minor hit in Dead or Alive and it was just the right time, 1981. Bunch of other great songs on it, too, but I'd put most of it on timing.
	9:43pm Joe: "Dead or Alive" is the worst Bon Jovi cover I've ever heard.
	9:44pm minnesota jeff: I guess I had no idea "Dead or Alive" was a hit.
	9:45pm john: First record on a new label too--maybe A&M put some money into marketing it?
	9:47pm john: Actually, I don't really remember if it was a hit or not, but I was at school in the depths of Central Connecticut, where there was nothing but dinosaur rock stations, and it got a lot of airplay between the Molly Hatchet two-fers.
	9:48pm minnesota jeff: Well I would bet the theory of it being his first A&M record and getting a promotional push and going more mainstream is the case. But he still got dumped by A&M after the record due to low sales numbers. #154 on the US charts at its release (highest US debut).
	9:51pm minnesota jeff: Do you think Praxis listened to "Rockit" a few times?
	9:53pm Kat: also sounds Trevor Horn-ish to me
	9:54pm minnesota jeff: I think you just burned Praxis, not me.
	9:58pm efd: Fair enough. Also, LOL at Joe's "Dead Or Alive" joke.
	10:00pm efd: (maybe that will keep him from posting it a third time.)
	10:00pm huppy: go SF!
	10:00pm huppy: go SF!
	10:02pm Holly in NC: ooh, a winner here (pinball)!
	10:03pm calzone!: In honor of the WS, I respectfully request that you play a deep cut from that Metsie LP you got! Thanks!
	10:04pm Joe: there's an impostor on this board...
	10:05pm efd: oh, so there is! My apologies, I didn't catch that at first - just thought you were being funny.
	10:06pm minnesota jeff: Ima diggin this Cochise!
	10:06pm Holly in NC: Re Brian Protheroe, per Wiki - "In 2007 he was cast as Saruman in the original stage musical version of The Lord of the Rings." !
	10:06pm Joe: Never! And I retract my reflexive Stanky Brown Group hate. Quite an excellent song. But man, what a name.
	10:06pm Danne D: Hi there Funk Fans :) Stuck at work but at least I can hear EFD :)
	10:08pm Danne D: 8( I have to listen to the archive as I missed somethintg described as Trevor-Hornish 8( Mets music, Evan? I thought this was the land of Super Funk 75!
	10:09pm RexxHavoc: Mr. Met.....
	10:09pm Brian: I know I should know this, Evan, but are you Mets, Yankees, or other?
	10:10pm Kat: @Holly in NC - ! indeed !
	10:11pm Danne D: Bernie Carbo would disapprove of your question, Brian. As would Ted Fucking Williams :)
	10:11pm efd: Mets when it comes to NY teams, but the Red Sox are my primary team.
	10:12pm Danne D: (sadly even cannot play the song Ted Fucking Williams on his show) - it's by the Baseball Project
	10:12pm Danne D: EFD is the prince of Boston :)
	10:12pm cheri: hiya danne,,,happy early halloween,, and thank you evan for playing "MANHTTAN WOMAN"
	10:13pm Danne D: Hi cheri :D Happy Halloween to you too :) Btw, don't forget to vote on Tuesday everyone!
	10:13pm Danne D: Link to said song about Ted Williams: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/30214
	10:14pm Joe: the "in brief" box for Mr. Met on wikipedia is hilarious. Team: New York Mets Description: Man with a baseball for a head
	10:14pm cheri: evan & danne YOU ROCK!!!!
	10:16pm Danne D: You're too kind, cheri. I can't even say I belong in the same paragraph as EFD much less the same sentence :)
	10:16pm minnesota jeff: Oof, this song.
	10:16pm Danne D: Evan, can I put in a request for "Okay, Blue Jays"? :)
	10:18pm Brian: I thought Red Sox, but didn't want to presume while the Mets song was playing... see Bernie Carbo, raise RIchie Hebner...
	10:18pm Danne D: Think the blind man in the bleachers is sitting in an empy stadium right now?
	10:22pm Brian: oops I meant Butch Hobson [fail...]
	10:24pm Danne D: That song wasn't abut David Patterson was it? Oh wait, I just read the whole side comments. EFD Really is taking requests tonight!! 8( I missed out on the record fair - the one year I probably could make it, my friend has to get married that day. I was gonna be grumpy that the 2011 fair was gonna be right before election day again (and thus unattendable by me) but it'll be 10 days out so I'll at least possibly be able to sneak out and go.
	10:26pm Danne D: Did you go to the record fair, cheri? Also - Hi Amanda if you are still lurking on the comments board - I'm sure you hauled in a ton of good music at the fair :)
	10:29pm Ike: Greetings from Bangkok. Just tuned in.
	10:30pm Danne D: Is this the Ike that's usually in Jersey City or a whole new Ike? Either way, welcome :)
	10:30pm cheri: no danne i missed it ,,i was out of town,,i'm sorry,,,but were you there??
	10:31pm efd: Bangkok! The hell you say!
	10:31pm Ike: Same old Ike! It's 9:32 a.m. here.
	10:32pm Danne D: sadly no 8( - I would've gone Saturday but my friend got married that day. Sunday I tried to do both the record fair and watch my Bengals and failed. Next time, right? :) Congrats Evan - you are morning drive in Thailand!
	10:36pm cheri: evan could you please do me another small favor and play "I AINT GOT TIME ANYMORE" by the glass bottle ,,if you do i'll forever be in your debt,,
	10:38pm minnesota jeff: Devil Dinosaur!
	10:38pm Danne D: imagines what a cheri radio show would sound like I imagine it would include about 50 dedications to a certain Mr. Davies :D
	10:52pm radio free cheri format: all requests and dedications, no time left over for actual music
	11:00pm cheri: danne--will you be dressing up this sunday?? i will be,,,i'll be princess fiona
	11:03pm inquiring minds: is princess fiona pre or post op?
	11:04pm Danne D: I'm not really a big dress up on halloween guy, cheri :( I'm usually working as it's right before election day. I will have halloween colors on though as my Bengals will be playing that day :) Curious what the most frequent/favorite halloween costumes are amongst the posters here :) I have 2 memories myself: 1) In 1st grade I dressed as the Fonz which led my dad to doing the ayyyyyyyyy thing me to me like a billion times to my consternation and calling me Fotz (sic) way too much 2) The most frequent costume was one that is rather politically incorrect these days and be characterized with the 3-letter phrase "bum"
	11:06pm Danne D: Wide range of possible looks for Princess Fiona: http://margerydaw.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/princess-fiona1.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3490/3904711450_fc42369798_z.jpg http://ginascostumerentals.com/oscommerce/images/Princess%20Fiona%20-%20TM.jpg
	11:11pm inquiring minds: i cant tell if "she's" pre or post op, though :-P we need one of those fullbody airport scanners
	11:12pm Danne D: Um, I think "she's" a character from a cartoon movie, im.
	11:13pm cheri: thank you danne=),,,will you play that glass bottle tune as a small favor to me evan???
	11:13pm inquiring minds: not necessarily on halloween
	11:13pm Joe: so many awesome tickets... sigh
	11:14pm Danne D: It's like pokemon, Joe. Gotta catch 'em all :)
	11:15pm Joe: cannot believe I'm too broke for FREE tickets... I gotta get outta the stix. Damn you, NJtransit rate hikes! DAMN YOU TO HELL
	11:16pm Danne D: make sure you vote Joe. Don't wanna be politicking in here but there's one side that's a bit more amenable to mass transit :)
	11:17pm Joe: okay maybe I'm broke because I spent all my money on records at the record fair but still. BUT STILL
	11:17pm cheri: if anybody's interested "princess fiona" is from the "SHREK" movies,,
	11:18pm Danne D: Anyhow, I gotta get outta work and into my car so no more comments for me tonight :( Have a great night everyone! Thanks for a great show EFD - will be back tuned in as soon as the car is in range. Good night cheri :) Good night Joe :) Good night IM :) and Amanda :) and everyone :) Make sure you vote on Tuesday!!!
	11:23pm efd: goodnight Danne, thanks for stopping by!
	11:29pm Joe: PU-JOEL
	11:30pm Joe: New Brunswick veterans, I might add, and wonderful guys to boot.

	11:34pm efd: you take it correctly, Cheri. Have a good Halloween! Joe, thanks for the Pujol pronunciation help.
	11:40pm Joe: funny Pujol story: I bought their "Live at Third Man Records" 12" EP from them when they were in town last week for 10 dollars. I saw it at the record fair for 150 dollars. Along with seeing the new Tame Impala LP for over 200 dollars online, I've decided I've picked a really terrible time to start buying vinyl.
	11:41pm cheri: but before i go evan,, are you goin to any halloween parties this weekend??
	11:42pm inquiring minds: i give up.
	11:57pm cheri: you're still the best evan!!!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from October 27, 2010

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!

	3:31pm Joe B: The Wild Carnation track is great too, though I know what that sounds like!
	3:32pm Amanda: It's so magical when InterActiv RF Listening Party time comes around! Make mine White Lies, Blue Eyes by Bullet, 1-hit wonder extraordinaire. I think I'd also like to hear what Tin Tin sounds like.
	3:46pm efd: I'm curious about that Tin Tin single too. It's not the Stephen Duffy Tintin, obvs. Joe, thanks for your requests! The b-side of the 5000 Volts single is "Still On Fire," or something like that, which just makes it that much more intriguing.
	3:55pm Missouri Mike: Sorry fellow listeners, but I need to hear the All Sports Band.
	4:16pm Pat in Philadelphia: Ladies Who Lunch -"Everybody's Happy Nowadays" Radio Stars - "Dirty Pictures" Steve Dahl & Teenage Radiation - "Do You Think I'm Disco" Richard Strange - "International Language" John Cale - "Dead Or Alve" Don't know if I'll be able to listen live, Evan, but I'll be checking out the archive later.
	5:20pm efd: Thanks Pat! I may not be able to fit all of those in, but I'll spin at least a couple of them for sure. M. Mike, no need to apologize - even without your request I would have been inflicting that on the listeners.
	5:20pm mackro: Stanky Brown Group and, most importantly, the All Sports Band!
	5:45pm Jason G: That Mets album, the John Cale, The Tights (great find!)
	6:06pm Marc: I can always dig on some Brian Ferry - "This Is Tomorrow", and John Cale - "Dead or Alive"...hmmmm how many do i get to suggest?
	7:50pm Joe: Praxis! 1984! It's the only really good track on that EP unfortunately. Also, George Baker and APB. Though I have no doubt you were going to play APB anyway. PS EFD- The Praxis EP is not self-titled, it's titled "1984", however its pretty hard to tell from the packaging.
	8:53pm minnesota jeff: I second the John Cale request. PLUS: "Lets go mets" Cochise - Loves made a fool of you Humans - "I Live In The City"
	9:02pm E.L.: How are we going to top Howard Hughes?
	9:04pm john: I can't turn down Be Bop Deluxe, esp as I nearly bought it myself! and Rich Kids, played that album to dust 30 years ago. Great haul!
	9:05pm Scott: The Humans EP is great, I have that. Def. play "I Live in the City". Id like to hear the Rich Kids, John Cale, and BeBop DeLuxe singles.
	9:05pm john: I'll double Scott's picks and add the John Cale. Got my dorm heartily sick of that record decades ago...
	9:06pm Holly in NC: 5000 volts, stories, steve dahl, uncle vic
	9:09pm efd: Hi everyone! 5000 Volts coming up... you(se) asked for it!
	9:11pm efd: man, this is like proto-Lime Hi-NRG!
	9:11pm cheri: happy early halloween evan---i want to hear tin tin tonite,,,or maybe some halloween tunes if you have any,,
	9:17pm cheri: ohhhh btw evan goin to any halloween parties this weekend??? i will be ,,,i'll be dresseed as princess fiona from shrek,,
	9:17pm efd: I actually have NO Halloween music in the studio tonight, but Dave the Spazz is doing a great Spooktacular/Spazztacular halloween show tomorrow night!
	9:18pm Joe: this is spectacular. Just really really great. Wow.
	9:18pm arfortiyef: wow, fantastic buzzcocks cover!
	9:18pm cheri: i'll be listening evan
	9:20pm efd: Loving all the requests! I do believe I'll need to extend the InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party into a second set to accommodate them (as well as my own!)
	9:20pm efd: also, stay tuned for the awesome new efd theme song!!
	9:21pm cheri: efd--will you play tin tin for me??
	9:21pm Holly in NC: This IS good - I'd only ever heard the 'Kims we love' 7" before - thanks!
	9:21pm efd: yep, tin tin coming up in the next set. (It's the early 70s Tin Tin, btw)
	9:22pm minnesota jeff: CALE!
	9:24pm Joe: this is the worst bon jovi cover I've ever heard.
	9:26pm cheri: evan please deticate it to me,,thnx evan,,,
	9:26pm peterntrinh: BIG UPS TO EUGE!
	9:27pm minnesota jeff: Whooooooaaaaaa, and EFD themed Jam!
	9:27pm Kat: New theme is made of awesome!
	9:30pm Kat: Also I'm curious to hear the Brian Protheroe... have a vague recollection of that from the 70s
	9:31pm RexxHavoc: yoh! pop the cap on the mo-at n spray that Champagne - "Rock & Roll Star"
	9:33pm minnesota jeff: All Sports Band cover: http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/allsportsband.jpg
	9:37pm john: Freddy Sanchez has just hit his third straight double off Lee.
	9:38pm cheri: evan could you please deticate the tin tin tune to me,,,i know i can always count on you evan,,
	9:39pm minnesota jeff: Question: Can anyone think of why "Honi Soit" of all of John Cales album would be the only one to make it on the US billboard charts? This is the album that had the Cale track EFD played. I've never heard the album - but it just seems odd to me.
	9:42pm Amanda: Heh! Better than toast & marmalade, probably.
	9:43pm john: I'd guess because it had a minor hit in Dead or Alive and it was just the right time, 1981. Bunch of other great songs on it, too, but I'd put most of it on timing.
	9:43pm Joe: "Dead or Alive" is the worst Bon Jovi cover I've ever heard.
	9:44pm minnesota jeff: I guess I had no idea "Dead or Alive" was a hit.
	9:45pm john: First record on a new label too--maybe A&M put some money into marketing it?
	9:47pm john: Actually, I don't really remember if it was a hit or not, but I was at school in the depths of Central Connecticut, where there was nothing but dinosaur rock stations, and it got a lot of airplay between the Molly Hatchet two-fers.
	9:48pm minnesota jeff: Well I would bet the theory of it being his first A&M record and getting a promotional push and going more mainstream is the case. But he still got dumped by A&M after the record due to low sales numbers. #154 on the US charts at its release (highest US debut).
	9:51pm minnesota jeff: Do you think Praxis listened to "Rockit" a few times?
	9:53pm Kat: also sounds Trevor Horn-ish to me
	9:54pm minnesota jeff: I think you just burned Praxis, not me.
	9:58pm efd: Fair enough. Also, LOL at Joe's "Dead Or Alive" joke.
	10:00pm efd: (maybe that will keep him from posting it a third time.)
	10:00pm huppy: go SF!
	10:00pm huppy: go SF!
	10:02pm Holly in NC: ooh, a winner here (pinball)!
	10:03pm calzone!: In honor of the WS, I respectfully request that you play a deep cut from that Metsie LP you got! Thanks!
	10:04pm Joe: there's an impostor on this board...
	10:05pm efd: oh, so there is! My apologies, I didn't catch that at first - just thought you were being funny.
	10:06pm minnesota jeff: Ima diggin this Cochise!
	10:06pm Holly in NC: Re Brian Protheroe, per Wiki - "In 2007 he was cast as Saruman in the original stage musical version of The Lord of the Rings." !
	10:06pm Joe: Never! And I retract my reflexive Stanky Brown Group hate. Quite an excellent song. But man, what a name.
	10:06pm Danne D: Hi there Funk Fans :) Stuck at work but at least I can hear EFD :)
	10:08pm Danne D: 8( I have to listen to the archive as I missed somethintg described as Trevor-Hornish 8( Mets music, Evan? I thought this was the land of Super Funk 75!
	10:09pm RexxHavoc: Mr. Met.....
	10:09pm Brian: I know I should know this, Evan, but are you Mets, Yankees, or other?
	10:10pm Kat: @Holly in NC - ! indeed !
	10:11pm Danne D: Bernie Carbo would disapprove of your question, Brian. As would Ted Fucking Williams :)
	10:11pm efd: Mets when it comes to NY teams, but the Red Sox are my primary team.
	10:12pm Danne D: (sadly even cannot play the song Ted Fucking Williams on his show) - it's by the Baseball Project
	10:12pm Danne D: EFD is the prince of Boston :)
	10:12pm cheri: hiya danne,,,happy early halloween,, and thank you evan for playing "MANHTTAN WOMAN"
	10:13pm Danne D: Hi cheri :D Happy Halloween to you too :) Btw, don't forget to vote on Tuesday everyone!
	10:13pm Danne D: Link to said song about Ted Williams: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/30214
	10:14pm Joe: the "in brief" box for Mr. Met on wikipedia is hilarious. Team: New York Mets Description: Man with a baseball for a head
	10:14pm cheri: evan & danne YOU ROCK!!!!
	10:16pm Danne D: You're too kind, cheri. I can't even say I belong in the same paragraph as EFD much less the same sentence :)
	10:16pm minnesota jeff: Oof, this song.
	10:16pm Danne D: Evan, can I put in a request for "Okay, Blue Jays"? :)
	10:18pm Brian: I thought Red Sox, but didn't want to presume while the Mets song was playing... see Bernie Carbo, raise RIchie Hebner...
	10:18pm Danne D: Think the blind man in the bleachers is sitting in an empy stadium right now?
	10:22pm Brian: oops I meant Butch Hobson [fail...]
	10:24pm Danne D: That song wasn't abut David Patterson was it? Oh wait, I just read the whole side comments. EFD Really is taking requests tonight!! 8( I missed out on the record fair - the one year I probably could make it, my friend has to get married that day. I was gonna be grumpy that the 2011 fair was gonna be right before election day again (and thus unattendable by me) but it'll be 10 days out so I'll at least possibly be able to sneak out and go.
	10:26pm Danne D: Did you go to the record fair, cheri? Also - Hi Amanda if you are still lurking on the comments board - I'm sure you hauled in a ton of good music at the fair :)
	10:29pm Ike: Greetings from Bangkok. Just tuned in.
	10:30pm Danne D: Is this the Ike that's usually in Jersey City or a whole new Ike? Either way, welcome :)
	10:30pm cheri: no danne i missed it ,,i was out of town,,i'm sorry,,,but were you there??
	10:31pm efd: Bangkok! The hell you say!
	10:31pm Ike: Same old Ike! It's 9:32 a.m. here.
	10:32pm Danne D: sadly no 8( - I would've gone Saturday but my friend got married that day. Sunday I tried to do both the record fair and watch my Bengals and failed. Next time, right? :) Congrats Evan - you are morning drive in Thailand!
	10:36pm cheri: evan could you please do me another small favor and play "I AINT GOT TIME ANYMORE" by the glass bottle ,,if you do i'll forever be in your debt,,
	10:38pm minnesota jeff: Devil Dinosaur!
	10:38pm Danne D: imagines what a cheri radio show would sound like I imagine it would include about 50 dedications to a certain Mr. Davies :D
	10:52pm radio free cheri format: all requests and dedications, no time left over for actual music
	11:00pm cheri: danne--will you be dressing up this sunday?? i will be,,,i'll be princess fiona
	11:03pm inquiring minds: is princess fiona pre or post op?
	11:04pm Danne D: I'm not really a big dress up on halloween guy, cheri :( I'm usually working as it's right before election day. I will have halloween colors on though as my Bengals will be playing that day :) Curious what the most frequent/favorite halloween costumes are amongst the posters here :) I have 2 memories myself: 1) In 1st grade I dressed as the Fonz which led my dad to doing the ayyyyyyyyy thing me to me like a billion times to my consternation and calling me Fotz (sic) way too much 2) The most frequent costume was one that is rather politically incorrect these days and be characterized with the 3-letter phrase "bum"
	11:06pm Danne D: Wide range of possible looks for Princess Fiona: http://margerydaw.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/princess-fiona1.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3490/3904711450_fc42369798_z.jpg http://ginascostumerentals.com/oscommerce/images/Princess%20Fiona%20-%20TM.jpg
	11:11pm inquiring minds: i cant tell if "she's" pre or post op, though :-P we need one of those fullbody airport scanners
	11:12pm Danne D: Um, I think "she's" a character from a cartoon movie, im.
	11:13pm cheri: thank you danne=),,,will you play that glass bottle tune as a small favor to me evan???
	11:13pm inquiring minds: not necessarily on halloween
	11:13pm Joe: so many awesome tickets... sigh
	11:14pm Danne D: It's like pokemon, Joe. Gotta catch 'em all :)
	11:15pm Joe: cannot believe I'm too broke for FREE tickets... I gotta get outta the stix. Damn you, NJtransit rate hikes! DAMN YOU TO HELL
	11:16pm Danne D: make sure you vote Joe. Don't wanna be politicking in here but there's one side that's a bit more amenable to mass transit :)
	11:17pm Joe: okay maybe I'm broke because I spent all my money on records at the record fair but still. BUT STILL
	11:17pm cheri: if anybody's interested "princess fiona" is from the "SHREK" movies,,
	11:18pm Danne D: Anyhow, I gotta get outta work and into my car so no more comments for me tonight :( Have a great night everyone!

	11:34pm efd: you take it correctly, Cheri. Have a good Halloween! Joe, thanks for the Pujol pronunciation help.
	11:40pm Joe: funny Pujol story: I bought their "Live at Third Man Records" 12" EP from them when they were in town last week for 10 dollars. I saw it at the record fair for 150 dollars. Along with seeing the new Tame Impala LP for over 200 dollars online, I've decided I've picked a really terrible time to start buying vinyl.
	11:41pm cheri: but before i go evan,, are you goin to any halloween parties this weekend??
	11:42pm inquiring minds: i give up.
	11:57pm cheri: you're still the best evan!!!
