	9:20pm Stevel: @Aharon: Beats looking up The Men.
	9:21pm Aharon: ahem: nameS, I meant to say. Now, Moto-Gators is more like it. @Stevel: True. In all senses!
	9:22pm JMD: Really digging this Moto-gators. What does that little guitar riff remind me of? Sounds familiar.
	9:26pm efd: Bonsoir Thierry, and hi Destroit, Joe, Aharon and JMD! Joe, yeah, that Gardens album is good!
	9:27pm Holly in NC: Shattered Glass hitting the spot! Really liking it all, efd, thank you
	9:28pm joey p: just got some coors. now theyre 1.50 for the 24 oz. was 1.25 last week. times are tough it seems
	9:28pm joey p: gotta funk out now tho
	9:29pm Julie: yo yo yo
	9:30pm Holly in NC: yo Julie!
	9:31pm Julie: hiya Holly!
	9:31pm G: alithia = truth in ancient Greek
	9:33pm john: Darn it, I was going to continue last week's Greek lesson! Got to move fast around here!
	9:33pm Destroit: an extremely well timed "yo yo yo" by Julie. May the birds and goth be with you!
	9:35pm Julie: that's why the yo I was hearing the theme
	9:35pm G: gazumped ya, eh? can't let the grass grow under your feet here, dude!
	9:36pm Destroit: Ha, efd, your voice actually sounds like real 'boom goes the dynamite' guy.
	9:36pm Julie: record shopping at home is the best!
	9:38pm Aharon: Evan "120 Foot" Davies, if only for one day.
	9:38pm G: Wikipedia: "The New York Times listed "Pig Valentine" among its 1996 singles of the year. "
	9:40pm Holly in NC: The Shattered Glass 7" can be purchased for $8. @G - NYT > Village Voice - this years Pazz & Jop is the worst I've ever seen, I think
	9:42pm Joe B: i thought wikipedia went out of business or something
	9:43pm john: Well, G, as you can doubly see, I'm not moving fast tonight!
	9:43pm Stevel: Pretty much always here on Wednesdays myself. efd, you should check your malpractice insurance, because this is probably my best therapy option.
	9:44pm Holly in NC: Speaking of Wiki's blackout, anyone on Twiiter needs to check @herpderpedia Banging my head on the table...
	9:45pm Andrea-in-DC: Great to hear your voice, EFD!
	9:46pm efd: Hi Andrea! Great to see your letters!!
	9:47pm joey p: this is pret good
	9:47pm john: I've known more than one biologist who was a music nerd, but this album title makes me wonder if we don't have at least one musician in Palomar who's a molecular biology nerd...and they're great!
	9:48pm Destroit: Good show, I like what I'm hearing, but am I totally clueless? very limited knowledge on most of the artists tonight.
	9:49pm Julie: @Des i feel the same way when I listen!
	9:51pm G: sorry, was loading the dishwasher... yes, holly! john, i'm moving fast enough, but multitasking so i'm on- and off-page...
	9:51pm efd: @Destroit & Julie, honestly I feel the same way when I listen to most other WFMU shows!
	9:52pm Stevel: Destroit/Julie: Me too, and I was a pretty heavy listener, especially in the early 80s. But it often fills in gaps. I love it most when I hear a song that I haven't heard in, well, a long long time.
	9:52pm Destroit: It's a good feeling Julie. Downright spectacular show the other night. So many memories.
	9:52pm Julie: @EFD yep pretty much. We of the offbeat music collections
	9:52pm Andrea-in-DC: I want to roller skate to this...
	9:53pm Julie: @Des thank you! yes roller skating music!
	9:53pm Stevel: efd: That's an advantage of WFMU's "None of the hits all of the time" approach. It opens up the vaults like no other source I know.
	9:54pm Destroit: Awesome. Confirmed I'm not clueless; and lol Andrea.
	9:54pm Randy in NC: There is more music out there than can be listened to in many lifetimes...
	9:54pm efd: @Andrea, not sure if the Wal-Lex rink is still open...
	9:55pm Randy in NC: The Wal-Lex???
	9:57pm efd: uh-oh, didn't see you come in, Randy in NC but formerly of greater Boston!
	9:57pm Holly in NC: Hi Randy! Ready for a chilly evening? I just retrieved extra fleece, fingerless gloves & my lucky Duke hat. Opened all the cabinets. All systems go! @efd - SO good!
	9:58pm PB: To follow up on Randy's point, I remember once reading somewhere (can't recall where) that there are roughly 20,000 new releases per year in the US alone.
	9:58pm joey p: didnt know the smithereens still existed
	10:00pm efd: @joey, they never stopped existing! 30 years and counting! Randy and PB, you both make excellent points. No one's gonna know it all, not even at WFMU. Except Brian.
	10:00pm G: smithereens _2011_ has been getting a decent amount of airplay on FMU since it came out last spring
	10:01pm Randy in NC: Hi efd, all, I used to go to the Wal-Lex, when I was a kid I lived right near there. As I remember, there was the rink, a candle pin bowling alley and a miniature golf place, right? Birthday party city...
	10:02pm James in ATL: Yes, 45's are from ATL
	10:03pm Destroit: Same here Joey, just another nugget. NC, both holly & Randy, hello. Going to buzzing around Raleigh every once in a while for job reasons, looking forward to exploring a new state.
	10:03pm G: for those not in the know: "The Wal-Lex Recreation Center, or simply Wal-Lex, was an entertainment complex located in Waltham, Massachusetts which operated from 1947 until 2002. Considered a landmark in Waltham and the surrounding area, Wal-Lex consisted of a 60-lane candlepin bowling facility, a rollerskating rink, billiard tables, and video games. It also featured mini-golf until 1985."
	10:04pm G: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wal-Lex-Recreation-Center/116806605033817
	10:04pm joey p: yo candle pin is my shit G you are so knowledgeable about the world you are a G-nyess
	10:05pm Julie: the Bebe album I have is awful
	10:06pm Julie: no she is the mother of Liv Tyler
	10:06pm G: i just have a lot of research experience, so i find crap fast if it aint brain-stored (which often it ain't)
	10:07pm Destroit: I thought he said Bebe neuwerth (sp?) and freaked out for 3 seconds.
	10:07pm Barkevious Shabazz: Mommy of Rock 'n Roll?
	10:10pm Holly in NC: My housemate thinks Bebe Neuwirth is the sexiest woman ever. I don't know if he's familiar with Bebe Buell.
	10:10pm Randy in NC: @G: Thanks, I used to ride my bike there. And of course the closest Stop and Shop was next door. It's too bad there is no picture of the rink. It had this really cool 50's flying saucer look as I recall.
	10:10pm Stevel: How many steps?
	10:12pm Julie: 13 steps to 13 women?
	10:12pm Barkevious Shabazz: I think she meant grandmother of rocknroll.
	10:12pm G: DEVASTATOR DEVASTATOR ........
	10:14pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans :) Hi Evan, I'm enjoying One for Wednesday :)
	10:14pm Destroit: Well, put it this way, I kinda agree with your housemate (not 'ever' but a certain appeal). Once I heard Bebe on the radio, the magic was gone. Radiation is good.
	10:16pm Holly in NC: Big grin ! I have so gotten over my being too cool for Echo & the Bunnymen! Smiling madly now :-) Hi Danne!
	10:17pm T-Zero: Evening, Funk. Good for you Holly!
	10:17pm efd: Too cool for Echo & the Bunnymen? No such thing!
	10:18pm paco: Oy yah!
	10:19pm Destroit: Hello Danne, T-zero, and I agree with you holly. I used to dismiss echo, and similar bands, different disposition these days.
	10:19pm G: http://www.waltham-community.org/phWal-Lex.html some images are here, Randy. (for more, search "wal-lex rink" in google images.) future site of a CVS maybe, the site speculates
	10:22pm miss cheri: pump up the da funk evan!!! julie & danne whatcha been up too??
	10:23pm T-Zero: Hi, Destroit
	10:24pm miss cheri: julie great goth show the other morning!
	10:25pm Julie: thanks cheri
	10:26pm Stevel: A friend just passed along that Apache Dropout will be in Fort Wayne, IN Feb 25! Brass Rail. Life is better.
	10:26pm Holly in NC: Let me clarify. I LOVED Crocodiles in high school - which was a very avant liking in suburban Connecticut. Then in college and colllege radio, I got into that 'if more than 3 people know about a band it sucks' thing... don't tell me some of y'all haven't been there! I'm working on it;-)
	10:27pm Julie: you grew up in the CT suburbs? Fairfield county?
	10:29pm Randy in NC: @G: Thanks, that's exactly as I remember it.
	10:30pm Holly in NC: N'Haven county. Milford,to be exact.
	10:30pm PB: There is a relatively new band (formed in 08) called the Crocodiles, one of the members of whom is, I believe, married to Dee Dee of the Dum Dum Girls.
	10:31pm miss cheri: julie,,i'm sorry i did'nt post any comments during your show,,, that's how much i enjoyed it..
	10:33pm Holly in NC: Twin Guns excellent choice for us Echo fans;-)
	10:35pm efd: @PB, yes, they put a great album out last year or the year before! Hi T-Zero, hi Cheri, hi lurkers! Thanks all for listening!
	10:35pm Thierry: The Siberians likely to melt the permafrost next week.
	10:36pm Danne D: Hey Holly, Destroit, cheri :)
	10:36pm neil: Thought I was listening to a new Peter Gabriel song, but found it was GBV! Thanks for playing it.
	10:36pm Holly in NC: @efd - Psychedelic Furs w/b lovely now - Dumb Waiter or We Love You,especially.
	10:37pm efd: I knew I was forgetting someone! Hi Danne D, and greetings Neil!
	10:38pm efd: @Holly True, but unlikely. :)
	10:38pm Andrea-in-DC: Had an internet black-out back there - and am about to sign off, but first say goodbye! Merci et bonne nuit!
	10:39pm efd: Goodnight Andrea! You'll have to come back tomorrow to catch up on the Wal-Lex discussion and links! :)
	10:40pm Holly in NC: :-)Honesty appreciated !
	10:40pm PB: efd, Summer of Hate which I believe was released in 09 or 10 has one great track, I Wanna Kill, and some other good ones. 2nd album was released, I think, in 2011.
	10:40pm 12539: Nice going so far, EFD. (I'm lurking close to the radio but not so close to the computer.)
	10:40pm Barkevious Shabazz: True story, Wayne Hussey now works in an Aaron Rentals in Newark.
	10:43pm Holly in NC: @Baekevious - Seriously? I wonder if he'd be happy or embarrassed to be recognized....
	10:45pm T-Zero: @EFD: It's been a classical music evening... Was time for a change ;)
	10:45pm miss cheri: well evan,,julie,,danne sorry for the short stay but i have to go,, see you all next week,,
	10:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly Nah, just funnin. I always found him sort of ridiculous. Like Aaron Rentals.
	10:49pm Holly in NC: @Barkevious Drat! Oh well. Great premise for a short story!
	10:53pm miss cheri: ohh evan,,julie & danne where are my manners i forgot to say good night!!
	10:54pm 70s TV Fan: Cheri is Columbo's grandaughter.
	10:55pm PB: 70s TV, that's very funny.
	10:56pm 70s TV Fan: I try.
	10:57pm Barkevious Shabazz: Cheri is Bebe Buell's grandaughter of rocknroll!
	10:58pm PB: Wasn't Bebe Buell a groupie who became Todd Rundgren's girlfriend.
	10:58pm Destroit: Ha, "just one more thing"
	11:00pm Barkevious Shabazz: @pb le skanque originale
	11:00pm Destroit: , PB, I would not be surprised
	11:01pm duh: she also liv tylers mom
	11:02pm Julie: no the original skanque was Miss Pamela
	11:04pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Julie Who she?
	11:04pm 70s TV Fan: was she almost famous?
	11:05pm Holly in NC: Bebe Buell is all-encompassing. Liv was raised believing Todd R was her dad -I wonder how often she heard "gee,you look just like that dude from Aerosmith, except you're pretty"
	11:05pm Julie: @Bark she did EVERY rock guy in the 60s and 70s. Wrote a book called I'm with the Band, Pamela Des barres. She was in zappa's GTO's
	11:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: Desbarres?
	11:06pm Holly in NC: Des Barres! She's With The Band! (book is guilty pleasure)
	11:06pm john: OK, now THAT was an inspired cover version. I'll be so disappointed if I find out it's just a bunch o'guys who never learned that irony was so 20th century.
	11:07pm Holly in NC: Charles B kicks serious ass.
	11:07pm Barkevious Shabazz: Sorry for the sp. Schooled.
	11:08pm Julie: Her husband Michael of course remembered best as a member of Scum of the Earth on WKRP
	11:08pm G: Charles B got a darn good James Brown groove goin here...
	11:08pm efd: @john, no, they're deadly serious!
	11:09pm Holly in NC: That was a Nirvana cover version. Speechless.
	11:12pm Holly in NC: Which one can get as a free download from Spin Magazine. Jaw on floor.
	11:12pm PB: Speaking of Nirvana covers, Patti Smith does a seriously slowed down cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit to banjo accompaniment. It's tremendous.
	11:12pm john: Evan, well, awwright! And the Charles Bradley album came out a year ago, and is awesome.
	11:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: My resolution for 2012 is to see the Scum of the Earth episode of WKRP. The aging punk 's Citizen Kane?
	11:13pm Julie: @PB I like Tori's version, also really slow
	11:15pm Holly in NC: @John - yes, No Time For Dreaming is wonderful! Re SLTS,I still love Weird Al
	11:17pm Danne D: catching up with a friend unexpectedly so I have to listen to the archives - have a good night everyone and thanks for a great show as always EFD :)
	11:19pm Holly in NC: :-)
	11:27pm Holly in NC: Now that it's over, I can take a moment to comment on the sheer awesomeness of that Section 25 12in. Mr.Chop here is great too, so less typing more grooving!
	11:35pm Holly in NC: I don't think I've ever heard anything but 'Brother Louie' from these guys before - now I'm intrigued.
	11:42pm efd: @Holly, they're worth investigating further! Glad you dug the Section 25!
	11:42pm john: Oh, there's a lot to be intrigued about with Stories, starting with the fact that the original driving force was Michael Brown of The Left Banke, but he was gone by the time they covered (and had the big US hit with) Hot Chocolate's Brother Louie.
	11:47pm G: ex-Oasis, sounding like Tears for Fears, kinda sorta
	11:49pm yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Israel,Earth,Milky Way): Hey Efd, I got the new Gap Dream album and it's really good- thanks for your recommendation last week
	11:51pm efd: Hi Yair, that's great! Glad you like it, thanks for letting me know (and for listening).
	11:52pm Holly in NC: This is the definitely reissue of the year to date!
	11:56pm john: This was my #1 reissue of 2011, for what that's worth! Must have played it a dozen times in a row as soon as I tore the package open.
	11:57pm Thierry: bar/none .. get them all!
	11:57pm efd: That Hot Knives came out in 2011 - might have to be grandfathered in for 2012!
	11:59pm Holly in NC: Thanks for another stellar show, efd!!!!!!!!!
	12:00am G: over already????????????
	12:00am john: I was voting for Human Switchboard, not that I went to the trouble of making it clear or anything, Bob Pfeifer's recent rather icky legal woes notwithstanding.
	12:01am Randy in NC: efd, Thanks for the Wal-Lex memories, and the gread show!
	12:03am Randy in NC: Ugh, great...
	10:59am Brian in UK: Evan, useless fact, I used to work with No Dice's singer Roger Ferris' dad Eddie in the Seventies. They were London based. Lose no sleep chasing their back catalogue!!! Forgotten all 'bout them until now.
	11:01am efd: His NAME is PEACHES!!
	11:02am efd: seriously, though, I think that's actually a pretty useful fact! That album really isn't bad.
	11:12am Brian in UK: My Name in MICHAEL CAINE!!!Coincidentially, I've just remembered that there was another guy in the bookshop called Tony Conway who had a band called Security Risk followed by Mood Six. He wrote the B side of 'Mickey' by Toni Basil called 'Hangin' Around'. They were more psych revival. I remember hearing his demo of Hangin' Around then Toni Basil's version. What could be done with proper arranging!!
	11:20am efd: Ohh, I love Mood Six and especially "Hanging Around" and "Just Like A Dream!" I can't believe in all this time I never knew Toni Basil covered it!
	11:35am Brian in UK: There is a British group called Animal Kingdom had an album out last year. I thought they sounded like Mood Six at times. Not sure if anyone else did though. You know when you catch little nuances and it triggers memories, as The Temptations sang Just my imagination running away with me.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 18, 2012

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!

January 18, 2012: if you see a song named "hot cakes," play it

	9:20pm Stevel: @Aharon: Beats looking up The Men.
	9:21pm Aharon: ahem: nameS, I meant to say. Now, Moto-Gators is more like it. @Stevel: True. In all senses!
	9:22pm JMD: Really digging this Moto-gators. What does that little guitar riff remind me of? Sounds familiar.
	9:26pm efd: Bonsoir Thierry, and hi Destroit, Joe, Aharon and JMD! Joe, yeah, that Gardens album is good!
	9:27pm Holly in NC: Shattered Glass hitting the spot! Really liking it all, efd, thank you
	9:28pm joey p: just got some coors. now theyre 1.50 for the 24 oz. was 1.25 last week. times are tough it seems
	9:28pm joey p: gotta funk out now tho
	9:29pm Julie: yo yo yo
	9:30pm Holly in NC: yo Julie!
	9:31pm Julie: hiya Holly!
	9:31pm G: alithia = truth in ancient Greek
	9:33pm john: Darn it, I was going to continue last week's Greek lesson! Got to move fast around here!
	9:33pm Destroit: an extremely well timed "yo yo yo" by Julie. May the birds and goth be with you!
	9:35pm Julie: that's why the yo I was hearing the theme
	9:35pm G: gazumped ya, eh? can't let the grass grow under your feet here, dude!
	9:36pm Destroit: Ha, efd, your voice actually sounds like real 'boom goes the dynamite' guy.
	9:36pm Julie: record shopping at home is the best!
	9:38pm Aharon: Evan "120 Foot" Davies, if only for one day.
	9:38pm G: Wikipedia: "The New York Times listed "Pig Valentine" among its 1996 singles of the year. "
	9:40pm Holly in NC: The Shattered Glass 7" can be purchased for $8. @G - NYT > Village Voice - this years Pazz & Jop is the worst I've ever seen, I think
	9:42pm Joe B: i thought wikipedia went out of business or something
	9:43pm john: Well, G, as you can doubly see, I'm not moving fast tonight!
	9:43pm Stevel: Pretty much always here on Wednesdays myself. efd, you should check your malpractice insurance, because this is probably my best therapy option.
	9:44pm Holly in NC: Speaking of Wiki's blackout, anyone on Twiiter needs to check @herpderpedia Banging my head on the table...
	9:45pm Andrea-in-DC: Great to hear your voice, EFD!
	9:46pm efd: Hi Andrea! Great to see your letters!!
	9:47pm joey p: this is pret good
	9:47pm john: I've known more than one biologist who was a music nerd, but this album title makes me wonder if we don't have at least one musician in Palomar who's a molecular biology nerd...and they're great!
	9:48pm Destroit: Good show, I like what I'm hearing, but am I totally clueless? very limited knowledge on most of the artists tonight.
	9:49pm Julie: @Des i feel the same way when I listen!
	9:51pm G: sorry, was loading the dishwasher... yes, holly! john, i'm moving fast enough, but multitasking so i'm on- and off-page...
	9:51pm efd: @Destroit & Julie, honestly I feel the same way when I listen to most other WFMU shows!
	9:52pm Stevel: Destroit/Julie: Me too, and I was a pretty heavy listener, especially in the early 80s. But it often fills in gaps. I love it most when I hear a song that I haven't heard in, well, a long long time.
	9:52pm Destroit: It's a good feeling Julie. Downright spectacular show the other night. So many memories.
	9:52pm Julie: @EFD yep pretty much. We of the offbeat music collections
	9:52pm Andrea-in-DC: I want to roller skate to this...
	9:53pm Julie: @Des thank you! yes roller skating music!
	9:53pm Stevel: efd: That's an advantage of WFMU's "None of the hits all of the time" approach. It opens up the vaults like no other source I know.
	9:54pm Destroit: Awesome. Confirmed I'm not clueless; and lol Andrea.
	9:54pm Randy in NC: There is more music out there than can be listened to in many lifetimes...
	9:54pm efd: @Andrea, not sure if the Wal-Lex rink is still open...
	9:55pm Randy in NC: The Wal-Lex???
	9:57pm efd: uh-oh, didn't see you come in, Randy in NC but formerly of greater Boston!
	9:57pm Holly in NC: Hi Randy! Ready for a chilly evening? I just retrieved extra fleece, fingerless gloves & my lucky Duke hat. Opened all the cabinets. All systems go! @efd - SO good!
	9:58pm PB: To follow up on Randy's point, I remember once reading somewhere (can't recall where) that there are roughly 20,000 new releases per year in the US alone.
	9:58pm joey p: didnt know the smithereens still existed
	10:00pm efd: @joey, they never stopped existing! 30 years and counting! Randy and PB, you both make excellent points. No one's gonna know it all, not even at WFMU. Except Brian.
	10:00pm G: smithereens _2011_ has been getting a decent amount of airplay on FMU since it came out last spring
	10:01pm Randy in NC: Hi efd, all, I used to go to the Wal-Lex, when I was a kid I lived right near there. As I remember, there was the rink, a candle pin bowling alley and a miniature golf place, right? Birthday party city...
	10:02pm James in ATL: Yes, 45's are from ATL
	10:03pm Destroit: Same here Joey, just another nugget. NC, both holly & Randy, hello. Going to buzzing around Raleigh every once in a while for job reasons, looking forward to exploring a new state.
	10:03pm G: for those not in the know: "The Wal-Lex Recreation Center, or simply Wal-Lex, was an entertainment complex located in Waltham, Massachusetts which operated from 1947 until 2002. Considered a landmark in Waltham and the surrounding area, Wal-Lex consisted of a 60-lane candlepin bowling facility, a rollerskating rink, billiard tables, and video games. It also featured mini-golf until 1985."
	10:04pm G: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wal-Lex-Recreation-Center/116806605033817
	10:04pm joey p: yo candle pin is my shit G you are so knowledgeable about the world you are a G-nyess
	10:05pm Julie: the Bebe album I have is awful
	10:06pm Julie: no she is the mother of Liv Tyler
	10:06pm G: i just have a lot of research experience, so i find crap fast if it aint brain-stored (which often it ain't)
	10:07pm Destroit: I thought he said Bebe neuwerth (sp?) and freaked out for 3 seconds.
	10:07pm Barkevious Shabazz: Mommy of Rock 'n Roll?
	10:10pm Holly in NC: My housemate thinks Bebe Neuwirth is the sexiest woman ever. I don't know if he's familiar with Bebe Buell.
	10:10pm Randy in NC: @G: Thanks, I used to ride my bike there. And of course the closest Stop and Shop was next door. It's too bad there is no picture of the rink. It had this really cool 50's flying saucer look as I recall.
	10:10pm Stevel: How many steps?
	10:12pm Julie: 13 steps to 13 women?
	10:12pm Barkevious Shabazz: I think she meant grandmother of rocknroll.
	10:12pm G: DEVASTATOR DEVASTATOR ........
	10:14pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans :) Hi Evan, I'm enjoying One for Wednesday :)
	10:14pm Destroit: Well, put it this way, I kinda agree with your housemate (not 'ever' but a certain appeal). Once I heard Bebe on the radio, the magic was gone. Radiation is good.
	10:16pm Holly in NC: Big grin ! I have so gotten over my being too cool for Echo & the Bunnymen! Smiling madly now :-) Hi Danne!
	10:17pm T-Zero: Evening, Funk. Good for you Holly!
	10:17pm efd: Too cool for Echo & the Bunnymen? No such thing!
	10:18pm paco: Oy yah!
	10:19pm Destroit: Hello Danne, T-zero, and I agree with you holly. I used to dismiss echo, and similar bands, different disposition these days.
	10:19pm G: http://www.waltham-community.org/phWal-Lex.html some images are here, Randy. (for more, search "wal-lex rink" in google images.) future site of a CVS maybe, the site speculates
	10:22pm miss cheri: pump up the da funk evan!!! julie & danne whatcha been up too??
	10:23pm T-Zero: Hi, Destroit
	10:24pm miss cheri: julie great goth show the other morning!
	10:25pm Julie: thanks cheri
	10:26pm Stevel: A friend just passed along that Apache Dropout will be in Fort Wayne, IN Feb 25! Brass Rail. Life is better.
	10:26pm Holly in NC: Let me clarify. I LOVED Crocodiles in high school - which was a very avant liking in suburban Connecticut. Then in college and colllege radio, I got into that 'if more than 3 people know about a band it sucks' thing... don't tell me some of y'all haven't been there! I'm working on it;-)
	10:27pm Julie: you grew up in the CT suburbs? Fairfield county?
	10:29pm Randy in NC: @G: Thanks, that's exactly as I remember it.
	10:30pm Holly in NC: N'Haven county. Milford,to be exact.
	10:30pm PB: There is a relatively new band (formed in 08) called the Crocodiles, one of the members of whom is, I believe, married to Dee Dee of the Dum Dum Girls.
	10:31pm miss cheri: julie,,i'm sorry i did'nt post any comments during your show,,, that's how much i enjoyed it..
	10:33pm Holly in NC: Twin Guns excellent choice for us Echo fans;-)
	10:35pm efd: @PB, yes, they put a great album out last year or the year before! Hi T-Zero, hi Cheri, hi lurkers! Thanks all for listening!
	10:35pm Thierry: The Siberians likely to melt the permafrost next week.
	10:36pm Danne D: Hey Holly, Destroit, cheri :)
	10:36pm neil: Thought I was listening to a new Peter Gabriel song, but found it was GBV! Thanks for playing it.
	10:36pm Holly in NC: @efd - Psychedelic Furs w/b lovely now - Dumb Waiter or We Love You,especially.
	10:37pm efd: I knew I was forgetting someone! Hi Danne D, and greetings Neil!
	10:38pm efd: @Holly True, but unlikely. :)
	10:38pm Andrea-in-DC: Had an internet black-out back there - and am about to sign off, but first say goodbye! Merci et bonne nuit!
	10:39pm efd: Goodnight Andrea! You'll have to come back tomorrow to catch up on the Wal-Lex discussion and links! :)
	10:40pm Holly in NC: :-)Honesty appreciated !
	10:40pm PB: efd, Summer of Hate which I believe was released in 09 or 10 has one great track, I Wanna Kill, and some other good ones. 2nd album was released, I think, in 2011.
	10:40pm 12539: Nice going so far, EFD. (I'm lurking close to the radio but not so close to the computer.)
	10:40pm Barkevious Shabazz: True story, Wayne Hussey now works in an Aaron Rentals in Newark.
	10:43pm Holly in NC: @Baekevious - Seriously? I wonder if he'd be happy or embarrassed to be recognized....
	10:45pm T-Zero: @EFD: It's been a classical music evening... Was time for a change ;)
	10:45pm miss cheri: well evan,,julie,,danne sorry for the short stay but i have to go,, see you all next week,,
	10:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly Nah, just funnin. I always found him sort of ridiculous. Like Aaron Rentals.
	10:49pm Holly in NC: @Barkevious Drat! Oh well. Great premise for a short story!
	10:53pm miss cheri: ohh evan,,julie & danne where are my manners i forgot to say good night!!
	10:54pm 70s TV Fan: Cheri is Columbo's grandaughter.
	10:55pm PB: 70s TV, that's very funny.
	10:56pm 70s TV Fan: I try.
	10:57pm Barkevious Shabazz: Cheri is Bebe Buell's grandaughter of rocknroll!
	10:58pm PB: Wasn't Bebe Buell a groupie who became Todd Rundgren's girlfriend.
	10:58pm Destroit: Ha, "just one more thing"
	11:00pm Barkevious Shabazz: @pb le skanque originale
	11:00pm Destroit: , PB, I would not be surprised
	11:01pm duh: she also liv tylers mom
	11:02pm Julie: no the original skanque was Miss Pamela
	11:04pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Julie Who she?
	11:04pm 70s TV Fan: was she almost famous?
	11:05pm Holly in NC: Bebe Buell is all-encompassing. Liv was raised believing Todd R was her dad -I wonder how often she heard "gee,you look just like that dude from Aerosmith, except you're pretty"
	11:05pm Julie: @Bark she did EVERY rock guy in the 60s and 70s. Wrote a book called I'm with the Band, Pamela Des barres. She was in zappa's GTO's
	11:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: Desbarres?
	11:06pm Holly in NC: Des Barres! She's With The Band! (book is guilty pleasure)
	11:06pm john: OK, now THAT was an inspired cover version. I'll be so disappointed if I find out it's just a bunch o'guys who never learned that irony was so 20th century.
	11:07pm Holly in NC: Charles B kicks serious ass.
	11:07pm Barkevious Shabazz: Sorry for the sp. Schooled.
	11:08pm Julie: Her husband Michael of course remembered best as a member of Scum of the Earth on WKRP
	11:08pm G: Charles B got a darn good James Brown groove goin here...
	11:08pm efd: @john, no, they're deadly serious!
	11:09pm Holly in NC: That was a Nirvana cover version. Speechless.
	11:12pm Holly in NC: Which one can get as a free download from Spin Magazine. Jaw on floor.
	11:12pm PB: Speaking of Nirvana covers, Patti Smith does a seriously slowed down cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit to banjo accompaniment. It's tremendous.
	11:12pm john: Evan, well, awwright! And the Charles Bradley album came out a year ago, and is awesome.
	11:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: My resolution for 2012 is to see the Scum of the Earth episode of WKRP. The aging punk 's Citizen Kane?
	11:13pm Julie: @PB I like Tori's version, also really slow
	11:15pm Holly in NC: @John - yes, No Time For Dreaming is wonderful! Re SLTS,I still love Weird Al
	11:17pm Danne D: catching up with a friend unexpectedly so I have to listen to the archives - have a good night everyone and thanks for a great show as always EFD :)
	11:19pm Holly in NC: :-)
	11:27pm Holly in NC: Now that it's over, I can take a moment to comment on the sheer awesomeness of that Section 25 12in. Mr.Chop here is great too, so less typing more grooving!
	11:35pm Holly in NC: I don't think I've ever heard anything but 'Brother Louie' from these guys before - now I'm intrigued.
	11:42pm efd: @Holly, they're worth investigating further! Glad you dug the Section 25!
	11:42pm john: Oh, there's a lot to be intrigued about with Stories, starting with the fact that the original driving force was Michael Brown of The Left Banke, but he was gone by the time they covered (and had the big US hit with) Hot Chocolate's Brother Louie.
	11:47pm G: ex-Oasis, sounding like Tears for Fears, kinda sorta
	11:49pm yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Israel,Earth,Milky Way): Hey Efd, I got the new Gap Dream album and it's really good- thanks for your recommendation last week
	11:51pm efd: Hi Yair, that's great! Glad you like it, thanks for letting me know (and for listening).
	11:52pm Holly in NC: This is the definitely reissue of the year to date!
	11:56pm john: This was my #1 reissue of 2011, for what that's worth! Must have played it a dozen times in a row as soon as I tore the package open.
	11:57pm Thierry: bar/none .. get them all!
	11:57pm efd: That Hot Knives came out in 2011 - might have to be grandfathered in for 2012!
	11:59pm Holly in NC: Thanks for another stellar show, efd!!!!!!!!!
	12:00am G: over already????????????
	12:00am john: I was voting for Human Switchboard, not that I went to the trouble of making it clear or anything, Bob Pfeifer's recent rather icky legal woes notwithstanding.
	12:01am Randy in NC: efd, Thanks for the Wal-Lex memories, and the gread show!
	12:03am Randy in NC: Ugh, great...
	10:59am Brian in UK: Evan, useless fact, I used to work with No Dice's singer Roger Ferris' dad Eddie in the Seventies. They were London based. Lose no sleep chasing their back catalogue!!! Forgotten all 'bout them until now.
	11:01am efd: His NAME is PEACHES!!
	11:02am efd: seriously, though, I think that's actually a pretty useful fact! That album really isn't bad.
	11:12am Brian in UK: My Name in MICHAEL CAINE!!!Coincidentially, I've just remembered that there was another guy in the bookshop called Tony Conway who had a band called Security Risk followed by Mood Six. He wrote the B side of 'Mickey' by Toni Basil called 'Hangin' Around'. They were more psych revival. I remember hearing his demo of Hangin' Around then Toni Basil's version. What could be done with proper arranging!!
	11:20am efd: Ohh, I love Mood Six and especially "Hanging Around" and "Just Like A Dream!" I can't believe in all this time I never knew Toni Basil covered it!
	11:35am Brian in UK: There is a British group called Animal Kingdom had an album out last year. I thought they sounded like Mood Six at times. Not sure if anyone else did though. You know when you catch little nuances and it triggers memories, as The Temptations sang Just my imagination running away with me.
