	9:16pm G: I don't recommend Dewey, Cheatham and Howe.
	9:17pm efd: hey everyone, thanks for tuning in! I arrived at the station at 8:50 thanks to some massive NJ Transit bullpucky, so it's going to be an... interesting show. But still good listening, I hope!
	9:21pm miss cheri: i know what you mean,, evan traffic jams are a bitch!
	9:23pm jmd: buy yourself some breathing space: Devastator!
	9:24pm efd: well, it was a train delay cheri, but close enough.
	9:24pm efd: @jmd I'll keep that in mind!
	9:24pm G: And this time someone get an accurate "Devastator repetition" tally, for the love of God.
	9:30pm efd: @Joe D. that was 6 minutes of ass, to be exact. McG, feel free to post a little blurb about tomorrow night. It's certainly not anything that I would even remotely be making money from so there's no conflict of interest that I can see.
	9:31pm Mike East: Yes! Yes! This Rocks!...No! No! Don't Stop a Rockin! Good Evening all.
	9:33pm Holly in NC: Hi everyone! Glad you made it, Evan - your tweets had me worried! Have to go buy some essentials (cat litter, cat food, toilet paper, toothpaste, cabbage & wine, not as pathetic as sounds) - back around 10:15. ish.
	9:36pm earl: in a hotel with no bottle opener, but happy to catch your show
	9:37pm miss cheri: hiya holly,,
	9:38pm McG: For those of you who are fans of Evan "Funk" Davies, @efd will be checking into McG's Backroom Thurs 9pm EST. http://bit.ly/MP3WNl You can listen live or catch on-demand replay/free download after show airs. We'll be doing what all normal people do: Hanging out, listening to weird music, talking records, baseball and what it's like being a WFMU DJ.
	9:39pm PB: efd, never heard the words detroit and vacation used together before.
	9:40pm Mike East: very cool McG. I'll checkitout. thanks for the link!
	9:41pm miss cheri: ohh evan,in a few short weeks it'll be my birthday..
	9:47pm Danne D: Hey Funk Fans :) Hey EFD :) This is the Funk-Con :)
	9:47pm Kat: PB: I've been to Detroit the last two Memorial Day weekends for the Electronic Music Festival (aka Movement), if that counts as vacationing in Detroit :)
	9:47pm Danne D: Evan pullin out the perfect song for the 40th anniversary of Atari
	9:48pm Thierry: Hi Evan! So great, Adam!
	9:51pm PB: Kat, I was just kidding. I kinda like Detroit. I went to school in Windsor, Ontario for 3 years (not exactly Paris or London if you know what I mean) went to Detroit a lot and really go to like it (once I found my way around).
	9:51pm McG: Sounds good Mike. Double shot of @efd !
	9:54pm miss cheri: hiya danne,,a couple more weeks it'll be my birthday!!
	9:56pm Gino Vannelli: Yeah!
	9:56pm Kat: PB: I like it too. Hoping to visit a friend there later this year. Greetings to EFD and the Funk Fans!
	9:56pm miss cheri: evan as always i love your shows especially tonight..
	9:57pm pete: magazine!! love it!
	9:59pm Marshall Stacks: Magazine ... well done, efd!
	10:01pm Danne D: Yay Baseball Project :)
	10:07pm miss cheri: evan & danne i thought you'd be interested that i turn 31 early next month..
	10:10pm Ike: I'm still mystified as to how NJ Transit is the most direct route to Jersey City from any Penn Station with low ceilings. But, other than that, I dig!
	10:11pm Destroit: hello efd and everyone, glad to be listening.
	10:13pm McG: THE KNACK!!!
	10:13pm efd: @Ike, it isn't - I go home first to get my records and my car. @Hi Destroit, nice to see you! I had a great time in your city a couple of weeks ago!
	10:13pm Danne D: Have a happy birthday next month, cheri. Hey Destroit! Btw, my Fantasy Baseball Team has completely collapsed :(
	10:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: Here's a vote for "The Correct Use of Soap" as the supreme Magazine lp. Hygienic too.
	10:15pm miss cheri: ty danne,,
	10:16pm Julie: oooh this is good
	10:16pm G: @Danne: Does that make it de facto a Nightmare Baseball Team for the moment? :-)
	10:17pm efd: @Danne, as long as your team is in front of mine you're not allowed to complain. The Commissioner has spoken.
	10:18pm efd: @Barkevious, I won't put up an argument against your vote.
	10:19pm efd: Hi Julie! Nice to see you here, even if you're just passing through before getting here here.
	10:19pm Ike: Ah @efd, then you have multiple potential excuses. You can always claim there was train traffic and car traffic. Not a bad live version, but I still prefer Weird Al's "My Bologna."
	10:20pm common: fuckin thank you evan just bought get the knack foe a buck 3 weeks ago and listened to this 10 times thanks for the live
	10:20pm Droll: I never heard The Knack live before. This is so good, it's almost Cheap Trick good. Come to think of it, the only thing better than this might be Cheap Trick covering it live circa '79.
	10:20pm miss cheri: evan could you please do me a small favor and play the abba tune "dancing queen" cause i feel like a dancing queen these days,, ty evan!!
	10:21pm miss cheri: hey what's happening julie?
	10:24pm Julie: Hi there Cheri, any plans for the 4th?
	10:26pm Lemme Guess: she's going on vacay,,,
	10:26pm miss cheri: not yet julie,,,
	10:26pm Chop Scott: Thanks EFD! That record came out horrible, but great band.
	10:28pm efd: sure thing, Scott! That was all I could find during my dash into the library... there may be some Prime Movers 7"s in there, but they're not in alphabetical order. RIP Jeff.
	10:29pm miss cheri: julie i hope to be up for your show later on...
	10:29pm Chop Scott: Very much appreciated, thank you...
	10:30pm McG: Talk to you tomorrow efd
	10:30pm miss cheri: evan..no abba tonight?
	10:31pm ledzeppelinsucks: nice set so far
	10:31pm efd: see ya, McG! Will follow up on your FB messages after the show or first thing tomorrow but all looks cool. cheri, no Abba tonight.
	10:32pm steve: Throbbing Lobster Records, that's a hilarious name
	10:33pm Danne D: @efd to quote Sparks "I'm gonna be able to complain, and it's gonna be soon: I PREDICT"
	10:34pm Destroit: Hello Danne. Glad you had a good time efd. Were you here for the electronic music festival, or something else?
	10:36pm Chop Scott: Thanks again---that meant a lot personally to me---Cheers!
	10:36pm Lemme Guess: plenty tunes for dancing queens on the july 4th disco show
	10:39pm Droll: EFD, Exactly! Cheap Trick always struggled with being over-produced. The Man always wanted them to be more accessible (even brought in George Martin to help make a mediocre record). I had no idea, but am not surprised to hear, The Knack also struggled in the same way.
	10:39pm steve: im excited for the disco show
	10:40pm Holly in NC: Back! @Barkevious - My personal Magazine pick =.Permafrost, but it's a wee bit too dark for many people. Very dark, actually. And nsfw or airplay.
	10:41pm Danne D: Electric Mess for my Birthday :)
	10:41pm miss cheri: w/b holly!!!
	10:45pm miss cheri: wedneday nights is always hot with evan around!!!
	10:45pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly great song, terriff use of synth. And doity too!
	10:46pm Holly in NC: Happy almost birthday Danne! I see Ike shares our appreciation for Weird Al ;-) Hello Cheri! @Droll, I am always surprised at how darn GREAT 1st Cheap Trick lp is, and sad I came to it way late in life
	10:47pm Danne D: Thx Holly :)
	10:47pm Pig Eon: I had that Larry Raspberry LP in college. Saw them live in Fort Dodge, Iowa in '77. "Tonight" is a great track as I recall. Thanks for playing it EFD. Brings back memreez.
	10:49pm efd: My pleasure, Mr. Eon, and it's an honor to have you here!
	10:50pm miss cheri: holly my birthday is also comming up too..
	10:51pm Kat: Destroit: I was there for the festival! Second year.
	10:51pm miss cheri: evan you're the master of funk!
	10:53pm Writing Team: We need to come up with some fresh material for cheri, pronto.
	10:54pm Destroit: Hello Kat. Did you happen to go to 1515 broadway?
	10:55pm PB: We need to rescind Cheri's posting privileges.
	10:57pm G: If only Plastic Bertrand could reform, book the Poisson Rouge, and you could announce the show during a mic break :-) :-)
	10:57pm Droll: WT & PB, Amen. It's been over four years of ,,,,, and requests. It played itself out after 4 posts.
	10:58pm Kat: Destroit: nope. Had No Way Back on the to-do list but friends were playing the Droid party at the Works and I never got over to 1515 Broadway.
	11:00pm Danne D: It is kinda closing in on that "clicker" guy calling Chris T's show every week when he was on Fridays. I think even the Bob's Mediacology calls didn't last as long.
	11:01pm Danne D: I still think you need to do an ELP Brain Salad Surgery mashup of some sort for this segment :)
	11:01pm G: Am I allowed to make the chicken salad sandwich while reclining luxuriously in a bubble bath?
	11:02pm Destroit: Kat, too many afterparty options that night.
	11:02pm Danne D: @G only if you first put your camel to bed.
	11:03pm Droll: G, WFMU can sell the Midnight Ticket Oasis and build a hotel on it, but WFMU can never sell Le Poisson Rouge.
	11:03pm Danne D: On the one hand, the Feelies would probably be a cool show to see on my birthday. On the other hand, I really was not big into them back in the day (or even, to guiltily be honest, into them so much now) so I think it's more fair to allow someone else the honor. There will be a NASCAR race in Kentucky for me to watch that night for my birthday :)
	11:04pm Danne D: Surprised nobody picked a french name for the ticket give-away segment to get evan to say more french stuff :)
	11:05pm Danne D: My team is only 2.5 points away from me being able to whine about it with impunity, btw.
	11:07pm PB: I thought the recent Feelies "comeback" album was kind of disappointing in the sense that they sounded pretty much exactly the same as on their last record made some 20 years earlier. Having said that, I really liked them when they first hit the scene back in the early 80s.
	11:07pm Droll: DD, We should pool our money next year and pick a French tongue twister for Evan to say every week.
	11:07pm miss cheri: evan & danne i got to go now. danne have a happy birthday! g'night efd & danne
	11:09pm Heather: ack, i'm gonna have to stream the archive - you played the baseball project 7". gotta hear that. evan, do you have any don agrati on you? "homegrown" is a pretty great album, and i just read that he passed away :(
	11:09pm Ike: I don't remember the clicker guy or Bob's Mediacology, but that's my terrible memory for you.
	11:09pm Kat: Oooh, EFD disco party next week. Hope I can hear it over the noise of the ad hoc fireworks displays in my neighborhood.
	11:09pm Danne D: Thanks for the birthday wishes cheri, good night!
	11:10pm Danne D: @Ike - it was during the time that the Church of The Subgenius stuff was on FMU. I mean this is like gotta be late-90s.
	11:10pm SteveL: Difficult to believe that I would say that, yes, I am looking forward to another summer disco dance party. Please do not tell my teenaged self.
	11:11pm Danne D: The clicker did it for a long time. Though that schtick wasn't as thorough as some other ones. This is like Kenny G level of proficiency at this juncture.
	11:11pm Danne D: No schtick from me - I just post a ridiculous number of comments.
	11:11pm miss cheri: evan i'll see you in two weeks.
	11:13pm efd: @steve, I won't tell your teenaged self if you don't tell my "Disco Sucks" t-shirt wearing teenaged self.
	11:14pm Holly in NC: @SteveL - I know, right? I've been catching up on so much great left field that my parochial (pre)teenage self didn't have easy access to, and have become annoyingly nostalgic for the top 40 stuff.
	11:14pm efd: @Heather, I have to admit I'm not familiar with Don Agrati. Will try to check the FMU library if I have a chance before the show's over.
	11:15pm Quagmire's Dad: Fancy dancin' now.
	11:16pm Danne D: LOL @EFD I think my brother had the same exact shirt :)
	11:16pm Heather: @efd no worries! you don't have to dig it out.
	11:16pm Holly in NC: I think Nancy, Wanda, & Dolly should get together & do something while they're all still feisty & alive
	11:18pm Droll: I grew up in Chicago and was not old enough to attend, but clearly remember the fallout from Disco Demolition Day at the Wrigley Field double-header.
	11:20pm Droll: . o O (Clearly enough that it was Comiskey park. Either way, Nile Rodgers cites that as the end of Chic.)
	11:20pm Holly in NC: efd's song of the year so far, I think.. go Pujol! ;-)
	11:21pm Danne D: I think this pujol song should've been played after "El Hombre" #backseatdjing
	11:21pm steve: ha, deal efd. my suburban new jersey vfw hall hardcore matinee attending self never could have seen the disco obsession coming years later...
	11:21pm Kat: I have a DJ/producer friend here in Chicago who includes the phrase "Avenger of the Events at Comiskey Park" in her Twitter bio
	11:22pm Danne D: and should be followed by Gary and the the Heartthrobs #backseatdjing
	11:22pm Thierry: Stereototal said she liked wigs, fake moustaches & sideburns, but The Cage's funk definitely was the real thing!
	11:24pm Kat: Brian Protheroe!
	11:25pm Danne D: I wonder if Julie will playing something birthday-related for me tonight. If only there were a band with a name that was appropriate for such occasions :) Then I'd request them :)
	11:27pm Holly in NC: Did y'all hear that only marijuana was found in the FL "face eater's" system ? If media & GOP spins as I suspect they will, may set decriminalization laws back about, oh, a century
	11:28pm Danne D: @Holly - Hmm, haven't heard Ken's take on that article ;)
	11:29pm Danne D: That is the most awful case of the munchies ever though :(
	11:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ya gotta eat...
	11:30pm Droll: Holly, Refeer Madness 2012-2112? [Make your own Rush joke]
	11:30pm Danne D: Dumb question (that medical science probably already answers) they'd be able to detect if that marijuana was laced with something else I suppose, right?
	11:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Laced with eyelid.
	11:33pm Thierry: Wasn't tobacco detected on egyptian mummies?
	11:35pm G: The French corner is now awaiting the Stereo Total back announce
	11:37pm Holly in NC: 2 labs said only THC detected, but cya "can't keep up with the gazillion synthetics being manufactured every day"(paraphrasing). No chemicals typically found in known 'bath salt' preparations detected. Already some govt idiot has posited that sativa (vs indica) could totally make people ..crazy....
	11:39pm Thierry: synthetique=fake, oddly in french
	11:40pm G: like "artificial"
	11:41pm miss cheri: evan please forgive me if i've become stale & boring with my comments. do you think i should take a little break from commenting for a few weeks? well see you soon evan,holly & danne
	11:42pm Writing Team: That's not an original comment for her, either :)
	11:43pm jersey boy in nicaragua: hey what up, weed in the jungle in nicaragua is totally dirt weed. but, no piss test here, because, insurance companies do not exist, why bet against yourself?
	11:44pm G: Is the Casey Kasem meltdown tape after this :-)
	11:45pm G: Wow, they use a COMPUTER to determine the countdown? HOLY FUCK!!!!
	11:46pm Thierry: .. hard to weed out a jungle
	11:46pm Danne D: @G - only if we hear a dedicated to a deceased canine
	11:46pm efd: The degree to which this is an AT40 rip-off really cracks me up.
	11:46pm SteveL: Vital information on the nation's leading music publications. Neato.
	11:47pm efd: Not to mention the special computer that calculates the rankings!
	11:48pm G: Yeah, it's like totally futuristic!!!
	11:48pm steve: this is... i dont...
	11:48pm SteveL: I very much want to see a photograph of that 'computer.'
	11:48pm G: They used a big hand crank to get the computer booted, like a Model T
	11:49pm Droll: It's a special computer that doesn't obey the law "Garbage In, Garbage Out" -- it's "Garbage In, Solid Gold Out"!
	11:50pm jersey boy in nicaragua: @thierry,sounds like you know what a jungle is like. one of my friends told me "you´re from newark! from one jungle to another"
	11:54pm Danne D: @efd - that computer later found work with the BCS ;)
	11:55pm Holly in NC: most excellent segue, efd!
	11:55pm Danne D: I gotta pack up but thanks for your usual excellence EFD :) I'm actually away for the 4th myself so I'll be back around here probably in a couple weeks :) Gnight!
	11:57pm efd: @Holly, thanks! I actually went on iTunes and bought that song WHILE THE dB'S SONG WAS PLAYING so that I could make that segue. Glad it was appreciated despite the couple of seconds of dead air.
	11:57pm efd: Thanks for listening everyone! See (some of) you next week for the Disco Indepen-Dance Party!
	11:58pm Holly in NC: efd - now THAT is djing !
	7:15pm SteveL: Man! That opener is great! Archives do not suck.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from June 27, 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!

	9:33pm Holly in NC: Hi everyone! Glad you made it, Evan - your tweets had me worried! Have to go buy some essentials (cat litter, cat food, toilet paper, toothpaste, cabbage & wine, not as pathetic as sounds) - back around 10:15. ish.

	9:38pm McG: For those of you who are fans of Evan "Funk" Davies, @efd will be checking into McG's Backroom Thurs 9pm EST. http://bit.ly/MP3WNl You can listen live or catch on-demand replay/free download after show airs. We'll be doing what all normal people do: Hanging out, listening to weird music, talking records, baseball and what it's like being a WFMU DJ.
	9:39pm PB: efd, never heard the words detroit and vacation used together before.
	9:40pm Mike East: very cool McG. I'll checkitout. thanks for the link!
	9:41pm miss cheri: ohh evan,in a few short weeks it'll be my birthday..
	9:47pm Danne D: Hey Funk Fans :) Hey EFD :) This is the Funk-Con :)
	9:47pm Kat: PB: I've been to Detroit the last two Memorial Day weekends for the Electronic Music Festival (aka Movement), if that counts as vacationing in Detroit :)
	9:47pm Danne D: Evan pullin out the perfect song for the 40th anniversary of Atari
	9:48pm Thierry: Hi Evan! So great, Adam!
	9:51pm PB: Kat, I was just kidding. I kinda like Detroit. I went to school in Windsor, Ontario for 3 years (not exactly Paris or London if you know what I mean) went to Detroit a lot and really go to like it (once I found my way around).
	9:51pm McG: Sounds good Mike. Double shot of @efd !
	9:54pm miss cheri: hiya danne,,a couple more weeks it'll be my birthday!!
	9:56pm Gino Vannelli: Yeah!
	9:56pm Kat: PB: I like it too. Hoping to visit a friend there later this year. Greetings to EFD and the Funk Fans!
	9:56pm miss cheri: evan as always i love your shows especially tonight..
	9:57pm pete: magazine!! love it!
	9:59pm Marshall Stacks: Magazine ... well done, efd!
	10:01pm Danne D: Yay Baseball Project :)
	10:07pm miss cheri: evan & danne i thought you'd be interested that i turn 31 early next month..
	10:10pm Ike: I'm still mystified as to how NJ Transit is the most direct route to Jersey City from any Penn Station with low ceilings. But, other than that, I dig!
	10:11pm Destroit: hello efd and everyone, glad to be listening.
	10:13pm McG: THE KNACK!!!
	10:13pm efd: @Ike, it isn't - I go home first to get my records and my car. @Hi Destroit, nice to see you! I had a great time in your city a couple of weeks ago!
	10:13pm Danne D: Have a happy birthday next month, cheri. Hey Destroit! Btw, my Fantasy Baseball Team has completely collapsed :(
	10:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: Here's a vote for "The Correct Use of Soap" as the supreme Magazine lp. Hygienic too.
	10:15pm miss cheri: ty danne,,
	10:16pm Julie: oooh this is good
	10:16pm G: @Danne: Does that make it de facto a Nightmare Baseball Team for the moment? :-)
	10:17pm efd: @Danne, as long as your team is in front of mine you're not allowed to complain. The Commissioner has spoken.
	10:18pm efd: @Barkevious, I won't put up an argument against your vote.
	10:19pm efd: Hi Julie! Nice to see you here, even if you're just passing through before getting here here.
	10:19pm Ike: Ah @efd, then you have multiple potential excuses. You can always claim there was train traffic and car traffic. Not a bad live version, but I still prefer Weird Al's "My Bologna."
	10:20pm common: fuckin thank you evan just bought get the knack foe a buck 3 weeks ago and listened to this 10 times thanks for the live
	10:20pm Droll: I never heard The Knack live before. This is so good, it's almost Cheap Trick good. Come to think of it, the only thing better than this might be Cheap Trick covering it live circa '79.
	10:20pm miss cheri: evan could you please do me a small favor and play the abba tune "dancing queen" cause i feel like a dancing queen these days,, ty evan!!
	10:21pm miss cheri: hey what's happening julie?
	10:24pm Julie: Hi there Cheri, any plans for the 4th?
	10:26pm Lemme Guess: she's going on vacay,,,
	10:26pm miss cheri: not yet julie,,,
	10:26pm Chop Scott: Thanks EFD! That record came out horrible, but great band.
	10:28pm efd: sure thing, Scott! That was all I could find during my dash into the library... there may be some Prime Movers 7"s in there, but they're not in alphabetical order. RIP Jeff.
	10:29pm miss cheri: julie i hope to be up for your show later on...
	10:29pm Chop Scott: Very much appreciated, thank you...
	10:30pm McG: Talk to you tomorrow efd
	10:30pm miss cheri: evan..no abba tonight?
	10:31pm ledzeppelinsucks: nice set so far
	10:31pm efd: see ya, McG! Will follow up on your FB messages after the show or first thing tomorrow but all looks cool. cheri, no Abba tonight.
	10:32pm steve: Throbbing Lobster Records, that's a hilarious name
	10:33pm Danne D: @efd to quote Sparks "I'm gonna be able to complain, and it's gonna be soon: I PREDICT"
	10:34pm Destroit: Hello Danne. Glad you had a good time efd. Were you here for the electronic music festival, or something else?
	10:36pm Chop Scott: Thanks again---that meant a lot personally to me---Cheers!
	10:36pm Lemme Guess: plenty tunes for dancing queens on the july 4th disco show
	10:39pm Droll: EFD, Exactly! Cheap Trick always struggled with being over-produced. The Man always wanted them to be more accessible (even brought in George Martin to help make a mediocre record). I had no idea, but am not surprised to hear, The Knack also struggled in the same way.
	10:39pm steve: im excited for the disco show
	10:40pm Holly in NC: Back! @Barkevious - My personal Magazine pick =.Permafrost, but it's a wee bit too dark for many people. Very dark, actually. And nsfw or airplay.
	10:41pm Danne D: Electric Mess for my Birthday :)
	10:41pm miss cheri: w/b holly!!!
	10:45pm miss cheri: wedneday nights is always hot with evan around!!!
	10:45pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly great song, terriff use of synth. And doity too!
	10:46pm Holly in NC: Happy almost birthday Danne! I see Ike shares our appreciation for Weird Al ;-) Hello Cheri! @Droll, I am always surprised at how darn GREAT 1st Cheap Trick lp is, and sad I came to it way late in life
	10:47pm Danne D: Thx Holly :)
	10:47pm Pig Eon: I had that Larry Raspberry LP in college. Saw them live in Fort Dodge, Iowa in '77. "Tonight" is a great track as I recall. Thanks for playing it EFD. Brings back memreez.
	10:49pm efd: My pleasure, Mr. Eon, and it's an honor to have you here!
	10:50pm miss cheri: holly my birthday is also comming up too..
	10:51pm Kat: Destroit: I was there for the festival! Second year.
	10:51pm miss cheri: evan you're the master of funk!
	10:53pm Writing Team: We need to come up with some fresh material for cheri, pronto.
	10:54pm Destroit: Hello Kat. Did you happen to go to 1515 broadway?
	10:55pm PB: We need to rescind Cheri's posting privileges.
	10:57pm G: If only Plastic Bertrand could reform, book the Poisson Rouge, and you could announce the show during a mic break :-) :-)
	10:57pm Droll: WT & PB, Amen. It's been over four years of ,,,,, and requests. It played itself out after 4 posts.
	10:58pm Kat: Destroit: nope. Had No Way Back on the to-do list but friends were playing the Droid party at the Works and I never got over to 1515 Broadway.
	11:00pm Danne D: It is kinda closing in on that "clicker" guy calling Chris T's show every week when he was on Fridays. I think even the Bob's Mediacology calls didn't last as long.
	11:01pm Danne D: I still think you need to do an ELP Brain Salad Surgery mashup of some sort for this segment :)
	11:01pm G: Am I allowed to make the chicken salad sandwich while reclining luxuriously in a bubble bath?
	11:02pm Destroit: Kat, too many afterparty options that night.
	11:02pm Danne D: @G only if you first put your camel to bed.
	11:03pm Droll: G, WFMU can sell the Midnight Ticket Oasis and build a hotel on it, but WFMU can never sell Le Poisson Rouge.
	11:03pm Danne D: On the one hand, the Feelies would probably be a cool show to see on my birthday. On the other hand, I really was not big into them back in the day (or even, to guiltily be honest, into them so much now) so I think it's more fair to allow someone else the honor. There will be a NASCAR race in Kentucky for me to watch that night for my birthday :)
	11:04pm Danne D: Surprised nobody picked a french name for the ticket give-away segment to get evan to say more french stuff :)
	11:05pm Danne D: My team is only 2.5 points away from me being able to whine about it with impunity, btw.
	11:07pm PB: I thought the recent Feelies "comeback" album was kind of disappointing in the sense that they sounded pretty much exactly the same as on their last record made some 20 years earlier. Having said that, I really liked them when they first hit the scene back in the early 80s.
	11:07pm Droll: DD, We should pool our money next year and pick a French tongue twister for Evan to say every week.
	11:07pm miss cheri: evan & danne i got to go now. danne have a happy birthday! g'night efd & danne
	11:09pm Heather: ack, i'm gonna have to stream the archive - you played the baseball project 7". gotta hear that. evan, do you have any don agrati on you? "homegrown" is a pretty great album, and i just read that he passed away :(
	11:09pm Ike: I don't remember the clicker guy or Bob's Mediacology, but that's my terrible memory for you.
	11:09pm Kat: Oooh, EFD disco party next week. Hope I can hear it over the noise of the ad hoc fireworks displays in my neighborhood.
	11:09pm Danne D: Thanks for the birthday wishes cheri, good night!
	11:10pm Danne D: @Ike - it was during the time that the Church of The Subgenius stuff was on FMU. I mean this is like gotta be late-90s.
	11:10pm SteveL: Difficult to believe that I would say that, yes, I am looking forward to another summer disco dance party. Please do not tell my teenaged self.
	11:11pm Danne D: The clicker did it for a long time. Though that schtick wasn't as thorough as some other ones. This is like Kenny G level of proficiency at this juncture.
	11:11pm Danne D: No schtick from me - I just post a ridiculous number of comments.
	11:11pm miss cheri: evan i'll see you in two weeks.
	11:13pm efd: @steve, I won't tell your teenaged self if you don't tell my "Disco Sucks" t-shirt wearing teenaged self.
	11:14pm Holly in NC: @SteveL - I know, right? I've been catching up on so much great left field that my parochial (pre)teenage self didn't have easy access to, and have become annoyingly nostalgic for the top 40 stuff.
	11:14pm efd: @Heather, I have to admit I'm not familiar with Don Agrati. Will try to check the FMU library if I have a chance before the show's over.
	11:15pm Quagmire's Dad: Fancy dancin' now.
	11:16pm Danne D: LOL @EFD I think my brother had the same exact shirt :)
	11:16pm Heather: @efd no worries! you don't have to dig it out.
	11:16pm Holly in NC: I think Nancy, Wanda, & Dolly should get together & do something while they're all still feisty & alive
	11:18pm Droll: I grew up in Chicago and was not old enough to attend, but clearly remember the fallout from Disco Demolition Day at the Wrigley Field double-header.
	11:20pm Droll: . o O (Clearly enough that it was Comiskey park. Either way, Nile Rodgers cites that as the end of Chic.)
	11:20pm Holly in NC: efd's song of the year so far, I think.. go Pujol! ;-)
	11:21pm Danne D: I think this pujol song should've been played after "El Hombre" #backseatdjing
	11:21pm steve: ha, deal efd. my suburban new jersey vfw hall hardcore matinee attending self never could have seen the disco obsession coming years later...
	11:21pm Kat: I have a DJ/producer friend here in Chicago who includes the phrase "Avenger of the Events at Comiskey Park" in her Twitter bio
	11:22pm Danne D: and should be followed by Gary and the the Heartthrobs #backseatdjing
	11:22pm Thierry: Stereototal said she liked wigs, fake moustaches & sideburns, but The Cage's funk definitely was the real thing!
	11:24pm Kat: Brian Protheroe!
	11:25pm Danne D: I wonder if Julie will playing something birthday-related for me tonight. If only there were a band with a name that was appropriate for such occasions :) Then I'd request them :)
	11:27pm Holly in NC: Did y'all hear that only marijuana was found in the FL "face eater's" system ? If media & GOP spins as I suspect they will, may set decriminalization laws back about, oh, a century
	11:28pm Danne D: @Holly - Hmm, haven't heard Ken's take on that article ;)
	11:29pm Danne D: That is the most awful case of the munchies ever though :(
	11:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ya gotta eat...
	11:30pm Droll: Holly, Refeer Madness 2012-2112? [Make your own Rush joke]
	11:30pm Danne D: Dumb question (that medical science probably already answers) they'd be able to detect if that marijuana was laced with something else I suppose, right?
	11:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Laced with eyelid.
	11:33pm Thierry: Wasn't tobacco detected on egyptian mummies?
	11:35pm G: The French corner is now awaiting the Stereo Total back announce
	11:37pm Holly in NC: 2 labs said only THC detected, but cya "can't keep up with the gazillion synthetics being manufactured every day"(paraphrasing). No chemicals typically found in known 'bath salt' preparations detected. Already some govt idiot has posited that sativa (vs indica) could totally make people ..crazy....
	11:39pm Thierry: synthetique=fake, oddly in french
	11:40pm G: like "artificial"
	11:41pm miss cheri: evan please forgive me if i've become stale & boring with my comments. do you think i should take a little break from commenting for a few weeks? well see you soon evan,holly & danne
	11:42pm Writing Team: That's not an original comment for her, either :)
	11:43pm jersey boy in nicaragua: hey what up, weed in the jungle in nicaragua is totally dirt weed. but, no piss test here, because, insurance companies do not exist, why bet against yourself?
	11:44pm G: Is the Casey Kasem meltdown tape after this :-)
	11:45pm G: Wow, they use a COMPUTER to determine the countdown? HOLY FUCK!!!!
	11:46pm Thierry: .. hard to weed out a jungle
	11:46pm Danne D: @G - only if we hear a dedicated to a deceased canine
	11:46pm efd: The degree to which this is an AT40 rip-off really cracks me up.
	11:46pm SteveL: Vital information on the nation's leading music publications. Neato.
	11:47pm efd: Not to mention the special computer that calculates the rankings!
	11:48pm G: Yeah, it's like totally futuristic!!!
	11:48pm steve: this is... i dont...
	11:48pm SteveL: I very much want to see a photograph of that 'computer.'
	11:48pm G: They used a big hand crank to get the computer booted, like a Model T
	11:49pm Droll: It's a special computer that doesn't obey the law "Garbage In, Garbage Out" -- it's "Garbage In, Solid Gold Out"!
	11:50pm jersey boy in nicaragua: @thierry,sounds like you know what a jungle is like. one of my friends told me "you´re from newark! from one jungle to another"
	11:54pm Danne D: @efd - that computer later found work with the BCS ;)
	11:55pm Holly in NC: most excellent segue, efd!
	11:55pm Danne D: I gotta pack up but thanks for your usual excellence EFD :) I'm actually away for the 4th myself so I'll be back around here probably in a couple weeks :) Gnight!
	11:57pm efd: @Holly, thanks! I actually went on iTunes and bought that song WHILE THE dB'S SONG WAS PLAYING so that I could make that segue. Glad it was appreciated despite the couple of seconds of dead air.
	11:57pm efd: Thanks for listening everyone! See (some of) you next week for the Disco Indepen-Dance Party!
	11:58pm Holly in NC: efd - now THAT is djing !
	7:15pm SteveL: Man! That opener is great! Archives do not suck.
