WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 7, 2015

Listener comments!
	9:02pm Holly in NC: Hello efd! So excited for the show! But, one moment of silence for second worst news of the day: www.theguardian.com...
	9:04pm efd: Hi Holly! That is bad news, BUT I have it on good authority that the bill is being reintroduced this week when the new legislature convenes.
	9:05pm Marcel M: Is it just me or does this sound a lot like the Joker fan guy…
	9:06pm Marcel M: Is it?
	9:07pm Holly in NC: This 1 Jobriath song is an absolute classic, and s/b recognized as such.
	9:08pm Loretta: hi Evan..hi everybody... happy new year!!
	9:08pm efd: Marcel, no, someone else entirely.
	9:09pm Marcel M: Well he owes a lot to that man
	9:11pm Marcel M: ah.... Seen this song performed many times
	9:12pm efd: to be clear, if anyone owes anyone anything it's Matt Farley (P&O Jokerfan) who would owe Jobriath since Jobriath's recordings are from the '70s.
	9:12pm Joe B: Hey efd! i dug that Jobriath re-ish as well.
	9:12pm efd: Hi Loretta, happy new year to you!
	9:13pm efd: Hi Joe! Believe it or not I found everything I needed for this show without having to go to the basement!
	9:13pm Marcel M: That's what I'm saying Evan… Joker fan owes him. just being silly over here
	9:14pm efd: Just making sure, Marcel. :)
	9:14pm Marcel M: Hehe. Understandably so
	9:15pm Joe B: great news!
	9:19pm ian_: omg i'm actually listening in real time! hello everyone! stoked for the best of 2014 fo rill
	9:20pm efd: omg, it's a new year's miracle! Hi Ian!
	9:23pm Richard from Venezuela: Hello Evan and all The listeners.
	9:26pm Stevel: So, the #10 reissue? How often is a 70s something demoted in order to properly start the show? Inquiring minds...
	9:27pm jon: hi efd. hi everbody. just want to say again how great the new years eve show was evan.
	9:28pm john: All it took for me to love Sparks was for them to sound like Raspberries.
	9:29pm Mailman Tom: Sparks made over 20 albums of music!
	9:33pm herb.nyc: (oh no. fm reception is a lil off)
	9:33pm herb.nyc: but music is very ON!
	9:34pm fleep: Greetings, efd and funksters.
	9:35pm Alex of Chicago: Ooh, Nice. Hey folks.
	9:37pm jon: sad day. je suis charlie. good to be here tonight listening to wfmu
	9:37pm efd: @Stevel, fortunately there have always been enough '70s reissues that I haven't had to make any such compromises! Hi Richard, jon, john, Tom, Alex and fleep - thanks for listening (and commenting).
	9:38pm WO Town Wick: That New Years Eve show was great!
	9:44pm Stevel: I have no argument with the The Liminianas. Ever.
	9:44pm Holly in NC: Can't argue with an album that gives props to efd! ;-) Plus it's GREAT.
	9:44pm efd: I had a blast doing that NYE show! Thanks for the compliments, glad you guys enjoyed it.
	9:45pm WO Town Wick: Liminanas song "Black Sabbath" is my fave of theirs.
	9:48pm Stevel: Would I guess correctly if I thought you used to spin Student Teachers back in your college days?
	9:50pm Holly in NC: Irrelevant real life gripe: I feel will never be able to fold fitted sheets. Have watched endless videos, been tutored by clients who theoretically pay me to do the folding (now that's embarrassing!), augh. Any hints from efd fans, a particularly wonderful bunch of people? In my world, you have sheets, you wash them, you put them back on the bed...
	9:50pm efd: A reasonable guess! But I don't have a memory of them from back then! (Which doesn't mean I didn't play them, of course!)
	9:50pm Fuzzy: Nobody can fold fitted sheets!
	9:51pm Holly in NC: @Fuzzy, oh, were that true. Aliens among us can, and do.
	9:54pm fleep: Alien folding fitted sheet www.youtube.com...
	9:58pm Stevel: Might as well try to fold shirts. This is crazy talk!
	9:59pm efd: I share your frustration, Holly, and I've just given up at this point.
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: Magnets...
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: This song is a number one hit...with a bullet.
	10:02pm will: Stunning Josef K approximation by Autobody whoever they may be.
	10:02pm Carmichael: Sorry I'm late. I am WAY ready to rock.
	10:03pm ReadIt: You've got to know when to fold 'em.
	10:03pm Lonely Planet Boy: this barreracudas track is a top-whatever on any list.
	10:03pm Pat Byrne: The Barreracudas recently admitted to ripping off the hook of this tune from the original "Redundancy Radio" theme. We settled out of court.
	10:04pm Holly in NC: @fleep - "With a little bit of practice" my ass. That video shows one of the 2 favored techniques, the harder one, and I completely lose it after the 1st 2 corners.
	10:06pm fleep: @Holly That proves you're not an alien. Gooble gobble, one of us.
	10:06pm Holly in NC: What could top 1-800-band? Will be on edge of my seat for next few minutes!
	10:07pm Lonely Planet Boy: as is Diver Blue!
	10:11pm efd: haha Pat, I hope you weren't too hard on them!
	10:11pm Alex of Chicago: Can't disagree.
	10:13pm Pat Byrne: The offered some vinyl, we called it even.
	10:15pm Holly in NC: Oh, efd, love this Bongos song. Nice that you figured out a way to include in this show!
	10:15pm WO Town Wick: Just ordered that 1-800 Band ep. Money talks, efd.
	10:16pm efd: Well done, Wick! Agreed, Holly!
	10:18pm Stevel: ...for MONEAAAAAAYYYYY!!
	10:19pm efd: this song slays me every time.
	10:19pm drewo: Love the show! The original "What People Do For Money" by Divine Sounds was on my best of the year for 1984!
	10:20pm Holly in NC: @efd - 1st time you played this I was all like "no, you are not touching Divine Sounds", but am warming up. But can't find anywhere!
	10:21pm herb.nyc: i just learned husband of ...
	10:21pm herb.nyc: ...local librarian is a Sans Culotte!
	10:22pm herb.nyc: btw, anyone sans culottes???
	10:23pm efd: Stay tuned for an exciting Les Sans Culotte bulletin!
	10:23pm efd: Holly & Drewo, I L O V E the original Divine Sounds version too.
	10:24pm Holly in NC: Someone should mash "Shopping" with "Devastator"
	10:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Hullo.
	10:26pm Callieflower: Yay for more live stuff! :)
	10:27pm KP: River to River! Best lost song ever. just missed it. Great show nonetheless
	10:28pm Joe B: River to River, performed by George Usher on FMU circa 2003/4
	10:28pm efd: whoa! I've gotta go back and listen to that!
	10:30pm efd: think I might have to call an audible on the last Bonus Track - it's 7 minutes long!
	10:31pm Holly in NC: @efd - somehow, some way, when Les Sans Culottes play for you you NEED to say "Le Poisson Rouge" in the same sentence - though may almost be too much for hardcore funk fans ;-) Hullo @rrn63!
	10:31pm efd: ah what the hell, let's live dangerously.
	10:31pm Stevel: Holly is right. This should happen.
	10:32pm efd: haha, I'll try to work that in Holly! Maybe they'll have an upcoming show there.
	10:32pm Callieflower: I got to meet Doug last week :)
	10:34pm Holly in NC: @Callieflower - good experience?
	10:38pm Callieflower: He was nice. He asked my friends and I if we were all FMU people
	10:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: The EFD best-of programs always brighten the January darkness. @Callieflower - Wow....good for you!
	10:42pm efd: thanks Ken, that's nice of you to say!
	10:44pm ian_: extremely late comment -- hot DAMN is Diver Blue a great song! i put it on a christmas mix CD for my mom.
	10:46pm efd: it IS a great song! I can't believe it was only #2!
	10:47pm steve: i tuned in at just the right time!
	10:49pm Carmichael: Ha! The keyboard sounds like Royksopp. This is really cool.
	10:50pm efd: ha, you did indeed steve!
	10:50pm Holly in NC: I "found" efd's show via his best of year lists posted to Beware of the Blog. I wish people still posted BOY lists to Beware of the Blog.
	10:51pm jon: got to hear more key tronics ensemble. always turned on to good stuff here
	10:53pm KP: Yay, Big Quiet!!!
	10:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Holly - I asked Ken about the blog this morning and he mentioned the plan is to shut down the blog in 2015.
	10:56pm Carmichael: Really, Ken? Beware of THE MAN!
	10:57pm Danne D: Happy New Year Everyone :) Hi EFD :) HI HOLLY :)
	10:58pm Danne D: I wish there was a way the blog was more integrated with the site (or at least the format) - I can see where it's just kind of petered out which is unfortunate.
	11:02pm efd: hi Danne, thanks for checking in! and greetings KP, Carmichael, and anyone I've missed.
	11:03pm Carmichael: Hey Evan, just hanging around messed up on cold medicine. Diggin' it.
	11:03pm Holly in NC: HI DANNE :-) Dang re blog. I just can't keep up with Twitter, or Tumblr (though Tumblr's been abandoned for a while, yes?) and neither platform lends itself to long reads, "read later" or anything non-ephemeral. Will be very hard to find efd's best of 2014 list in the future :-(
	11:09pm Holly in NC: To clarify re Tumbler I mean WFMU's, specifically.
	11:09pm drewo: The Michael Shelley comp is currently #1 on my car CD player! One of my favorites premium CD's ever from WFMU! (I love yours too EFD...)
	11:10pm Danne D: I agree with the sentiment Holly :( I just hope there's a good solution. Such as these accuplaylist comments were a good replacement for the bad old days of the FMU message board from long ago.
	11:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I have no doubt Kenzo is in the programming lab cooking up a cutting-edge successor to the blog, and we're all going to love it when it gets here.
	11:18pm steve: yessss
	11:19pm efd: the compilation countdown is really made for you, steve! :)
	11:20pm steve: woo hoo. i have to admit i've been slacking this year... i guessed correctly the efd #1 new album 2012 and 13... this year i got nothin.
	11:22pm Mugsy: FM signal is strong and clear here in S. Jersey. Just got home HNY efd, cheers to one of my all time faves.
	11:24pm Uncle Michael: BOTB was also my first point of contact with WFMU.
	11:24pm efd: I feel like the #1 album will be a fairly obvious choice, but I always think that! :)
	11:25pm efd: @Mugsy, glad to hear the watts are booming out! Appreciate your comment, thank you.
	11:25pm Holly in NC: This is so good! Back to blog- I have never been able to listen to Liz Berg's show in real time. Her show is always, always on my archive list.. but my archive list is long, time is tight, & can't always get to. That said, Liz's year end lists on the blog have been VERY important to me. I like to think I'll find & listen to her year end show, but I also know that life may get in the way. Ick.
	11:27pm Ignore Function: Great list/set/song.
	11:29pm Danne D: @Holly you should express your support for the Blog - at least let folks know how you feel even if it might change the outcome
	11:31pm Danne D: EFD's show is the best of every year :)
	11:31pm bob_ham: Tuned in!
	11:32pm efd: welcome bob_ham and Ignore Function! And Uncle Michael too!
	11:35pm Holly in NC: @Danne - Yes. Also, I should share video of this poor French Bulldog pup being totally owned by his mistress, the Cat. :-) www.youtube.com...
	11:35pm bob_ham: Lotta self-titled action so far.
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ?whuh? - I'd hate to see Beware of the Blog go - even if I visit infrequently; stuff like Gaylord's 'Fake Beatles' is world-class! - but maybe it's like everything else & everyone's attention is on major social media sites...& stuff...
	11:37pm efd: and here's another!
	11:37pm bob_ham: Nice. Tuttle was one of my favorites of 2014 as well.
	11:37pm efd: though I mispoke going into the set, the Jonly Bonly album is not s/t
	11:38pm Danne D: Poor Puppy Dog :(
	11:39pm Holly in NC: Hmm. Doug Tuttle at #6 has really messed up my speculations.
	11:40pm steve: this is awesome
	11:42pm Danne D: :)
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - this annual review seems to lean toward the PowerPop-ish - which I like very much...
	11:43pm Uncle Michael: sleepy...must. hang. on.
	11:44pm efd: only 15 minutes left UM!
	11:44pm efd: ... and 4 songs ::gulp::
	11:48pm Holly in NC: OK, now really perplexed! Suspense is killing me.
	11:51pm efd: you'll kick yourself when you hear it, Holly!
	11:51pm Danne D: I take it that Holly lost her EFD Best of 2014 Prediction Pool? ;)
	11:53pm bob_ham: I had this pegged as #1!
	11:53pm TroubleInMind: BOO YAH!
	11:53pm efd: In a lot of other years it would have been, Bob!
	11:54pm efd: Nice showing by TiM on the EFD Best Of, as per usual! :)
	11:54pm Danne D: I like the idea that all the labels on the list are lurking the comments on this show :)
	11:54pm TroubleInMind: you are too kind, Evan - thanks for all the love!
	11:55pm TroubleInMind: I'm always lurking.... ;)
	11:55pm Danne D: It's like Oscar Night for Record Labels :)
	11:56pm bob_ham: Who doesn't love Trouble In Mind? No one I want to be associated with.
	11:57pm Danne D: Of course it's the Paul and John :)
	11:57pm bob_ham: THE PAUL AND JOHN!!
	11:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the countdown, Evan.
	12:00am Holly in NC: I was so off! I was guessing a #1-#2 whammy from @Trouble in Mind- Ultimate Painting & Doug Tuttle. Then Sloan. Also, I'd forgotten the greatness of Cozy, bad me.
	12:00am Danne D: And EFD finishes right on time :D GREAT Show as always :) Have a good night everyone :) Bye Holly :)
	12:01am Ken From Hyde Park: OK, EFD, thanks for the highlights and back to work for you...gathering the bests to play for us in 2016!
	12:01am Danne D: (Holly to be fair it's hard to keep track of all of Evan's great choices)
	12:01am Holly in NC: Thank uou efd! xo Danne
	12:02am Holly in NC: ^you

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 7, 2015

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 7, 2015: BEST OF 2014!* (updated - now includes cover art and Bubbling Under singles and albums)
*and late 2013

	9:15pm Joe B: great news!
	9:19pm ian_: omg i'm actually listening in real time! hello everyone! stoked for the best of 2014 fo rill
	9:20pm efd: omg, it's a new year's miracle! Hi Ian!
	9:23pm Richard from Venezuela: Hello Evan and all The listeners.
	9:26pm Stevel: So, the #10 reissue? How often is a 70s something demoted in order to properly start the show? Inquiring minds...
	9:27pm jon: hi efd. hi everbody. just want to say again how great the new years eve show was evan.
	9:28pm john: All it took for me to love Sparks was for them to sound like Raspberries.
	9:29pm Mailman Tom: Sparks made over 20 albums of music!
	9:33pm herb.nyc: (oh no. fm reception is a lil off)
	9:33pm herb.nyc: but music is very ON!
	9:34pm fleep: Greetings, efd and funksters.
	9:35pm Alex of Chicago: Ooh, Nice. Hey folks.
	9:37pm jon: sad day. je suis charlie. good to be here tonight listening to wfmu
	9:37pm efd: @Stevel, fortunately there have always been enough '70s reissues that I haven't had to make any such compromises! Hi Richard, jon, john, Tom, Alex and fleep - thanks for listening (and commenting).
	9:38pm WO Town Wick: That New Years Eve show was great!
	9:44pm Stevel: I have no argument with the The Liminianas. Ever.
	9:44pm Holly in NC: Can't argue with an album that gives props to efd! ;-) Plus it's GREAT.
	9:44pm efd: I had a blast doing that NYE show! Thanks for the compliments, glad you guys enjoyed it.
	9:45pm WO Town Wick: Liminanas song "Black Sabbath" is my fave of theirs.
	9:48pm Stevel: Would I guess correctly if I thought you used to spin Student Teachers back in your college days?
	9:50pm Holly in NC: Irrelevant real life gripe: I feel will never be able to fold fitted sheets. Have watched endless videos, been tutored by clients who theoretically pay me to do the folding (now that's embarrassing!), augh. Any hints from efd fans, a particularly wonderful bunch of people? In my world, you have sheets, you wash them, you put them back on the bed...
	9:50pm efd: A reasonable guess! But I don't have a memory of them from back then! (Which doesn't mean I didn't play them, of course!)
	9:50pm Fuzzy: Nobody can fold fitted sheets!
	9:51pm Holly in NC: @Fuzzy, oh, were that true. Aliens among us can, and do.
	9:54pm fleep: Alien folding fitted sheet www.youtube.com...
	9:58pm Stevel: Might as well try to fold shirts. This is crazy talk!
	9:59pm efd: I share your frustration, Holly, and I've just given up at this point.
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: Magnets...
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: This song is a number one hit...with a bullet.
	10:02pm will: Stunning Josef K approximation by Autobody whoever they may be.
	10:02pm Carmichael: Sorry I'm late. I am WAY ready to rock.
	10:03pm ReadIt: You've got to know when to fold 'em.
	10:03pm Lonely Planet Boy: this barreracudas track is a top-whatever on any list.
	10:03pm Pat Byrne: The Barreracudas recently admitted to ripping off the hook of this tune from the original "Redundancy Radio" theme. We settled out of court.
	10:04pm Holly in NC: @fleep - "With a little bit of practice" my ass. That video shows one of the 2 favored techniques, the harder one, and I completely lose it after the 1st 2 corners.
	10:06pm fleep: @Holly That proves you're not an alien. Gooble gobble, one of us.
	10:06pm Holly in NC: What could top 1-800-band? Will be on edge of my seat for next few minutes!
	10:07pm Lonely Planet Boy: as is Diver Blue!
	10:11pm efd: haha Pat, I hope you weren't too hard on them!
	10:11pm Alex of Chicago: Can't disagree.
	10:13pm Pat Byrne: The offered some vinyl, we called it even.
	10:15pm Holly in NC: Oh, efd, love this Bongos song. Nice that you figured out a way to include in this show!
	10:15pm WO Town Wick: Just ordered that 1-800 Band ep. Money talks, efd.
	10:16pm efd: Well done, Wick! Agreed, Holly!
	10:18pm Stevel: ...for MONEAAAAAAYYYYY!!
	10:19pm efd: this song slays me every time.
	10:19pm drewo: Love the show! The original "What People Do For Money" by Divine Sounds was on my best of the year for 1984!
	10:20pm Holly in NC: @efd - 1st time you played this I was all like "no, you are not touching Divine Sounds", but am warming up. But can't find anywhere!
	10:21pm herb.nyc: i just learned husband of ...
	10:21pm herb.nyc: ...local librarian is a Sans Culotte!
	10:22pm herb.nyc: btw, anyone sans culottes???
	10:23pm efd: Stay tuned for an exciting Les Sans Culotte bulletin!
	10:23pm efd: Holly & Drewo, I L O V E the original Divine Sounds version too.
	10:24pm Holly in NC: Someone should mash "Shopping" with "Devastator"
	10:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Hullo.
	10:26pm Callieflower: Yay for more live stuff! :)
	10:27pm KP: River to River! Best lost song ever. just missed it. Great show nonetheless
	10:28pm Joe B: River to River, performed by George Usher on FMU circa 2003/4
	10:28pm efd: whoa! I've gotta go back and listen to that!
	10:30pm efd: think I might have to call an audible on the last Bonus Track - it's 7 minutes long!
	10:31pm Holly in NC: @efd - somehow, some way, when Les Sans Culottes play for you you NEED to say "Le Poisson Rouge" in the same sentence - though may almost be too much for hardcore funk fans ;-) Hullo @rrn63!
	10:31pm efd: ah what the hell, let's live dangerously.
	10:31pm Stevel: Holly is right. This should happen.
	10:32pm efd: haha, I'll try to work that in Holly! Maybe they'll have an upcoming show there.
	10:32pm Callieflower: I got to meet Doug last week :)
	10:34pm Holly in NC: @Callieflower - good experience?
	10:38pm Callieflower: He was nice. He asked my friends and I if we were all FMU people
	10:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: The EFD best-of programs always brighten the January darkness. @Callieflower - Wow....good for you!
	10:42pm efd: thanks Ken, that's nice of you to say!
	10:44pm ian_: extremely late comment -- hot DAMN is Diver Blue a great song! i put it on a christmas mix CD for my mom.
	10:46pm efd: it IS a great song! I can't believe it was only #2!
	10:47pm steve: i tuned in at just the right time!
	10:49pm Carmichael: Ha! The keyboard sounds like Royksopp. This is really cool.
	10:50pm efd: ha, you did indeed steve!
	10:50pm Holly in NC: I "found" efd's show via his best of year lists posted to Beware of the Blog. I wish people still posted BOY lists to Beware of the Blog.
	10:51pm jon: got to hear more key tronics ensemble. always turned on to good stuff here
	10:53pm KP: Yay, Big Quiet!!!
	10:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Holly - I asked Ken about the blog this morning and he mentioned the plan is to shut down the blog in 2015.
	10:56pm Carmichael: Really, Ken? Beware of THE MAN!
	10:57pm Danne D: Happy New Year Everyone :) Hi EFD :) HI HOLLY :)
	10:58pm Danne D: I wish there was a way the blog was more integrated with the site (or at least the format) - I can see where it's just kind of petered out which is unfortunate.
	11:02pm efd: hi Danne, thanks for checking in! and greetings KP, Carmichael, and anyone I've missed.
	11:03pm Carmichael: Hey Evan, just hanging around messed up on cold medicine. Diggin' it.
	11:03pm Holly in NC: HI DANNE :-) Dang re blog. I just can't keep up with Twitter, or Tumblr (though Tumblr's been abandoned for a while, yes?) and neither platform lends itself to long reads, "read later" or anything non-ephemeral. Will be very hard to find efd's best of 2014 list in the future :-(
	11:09pm Holly in NC: To clarify re Tumbler I mean WFMU's, specifically.
	11:09pm drewo: The Michael Shelley comp is currently #1 on my car CD player! One of my favorites premium CD's ever from WFMU! (I love yours too EFD...)
	11:10pm Danne D: I agree with the sentiment Holly :( I just hope there's a good solution. Such as these accuplaylist comments were a good replacement for the bad old days of the FMU message board from long ago.
	11:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I have no doubt Kenzo is in the programming lab cooking up a cutting-edge successor to the blog, and we're all going to love it when it gets here.
	11:18pm steve: yessss
	11:19pm efd: the compilation countdown is really made for you, steve! :)
	11:20pm steve: woo hoo. i have to admit i've been slacking this year... i guessed correctly the efd #1 new album 2012 and 13... this year i got nothin.
	11:22pm Mugsy: FM signal is strong and clear here in S. Jersey. Just got home HNY efd, cheers to one of my all time faves.
	11:24pm Uncle Michael: BOTB was also my first point of contact with WFMU.
	11:24pm efd: I feel like the #1 album will be a fairly obvious choice, but I always think that! :)
	11:25pm efd: @Mugsy, glad to hear the watts are booming out! Appreciate your comment, thank you.
	11:25pm Holly in NC: This is so good! Back to blog- I have never been able to listen to Liz Berg's show in real time. Her show is always, always on my archive list.. but my archive list is long, time is tight, & can't always get to. That said, Liz's year end lists on the blog have been VERY important to me. I like to think I'll find & listen to her year end show, but I also know that life may get in the way. Ick.
	11:27pm Ignore Function: Great list/set/song.
	11:29pm Danne D: @Holly you should express your support for the Blog - at least let folks know how you feel even if it might change the outcome
	11:31pm Danne D: EFD's show is the best of every year :)
	11:31pm bob_ham: Tuned in!
	11:32pm efd: welcome bob_ham and Ignore Function! And Uncle Michael too!
	11:35pm Holly in NC: @Danne - Yes. Also, I should share video of this poor French Bulldog pup being totally owned by his mistress, the Cat. :-) www.youtube.com...
	11:35pm bob_ham: Lotta self-titled action so far.
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ?whuh? - I'd hate to see Beware of the Blog go - even if I visit infrequently; stuff like Gaylord's 'Fake Beatles' is world-class! - but maybe it's like everything else & everyone's attention is on major social media sites...& stuff...
	11:37pm efd: and here's another!
	11:37pm bob_ham: Nice. Tuttle was one of my favorites of 2014 as well.
	11:37pm efd: though I mispoke going into the set, the Jonly Bonly album is not s/t
	11:38pm Danne D: Poor Puppy Dog :(
	11:39pm Holly in NC: Hmm. Doug Tuttle at #6 has really messed up my speculations.
	11:40pm steve: this is awesome
	11:42pm Danne D: :)
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - this annual review seems to lean toward the PowerPop-ish - which I like very much...
	11:43pm Uncle Michael: sleepy...must. hang. on.
	11:44pm efd: only 15 minutes left UM!
	11:44pm efd: ... and 4 songs ::gulp::
	11:48pm Holly in NC: OK, now really perplexed! Suspense is killing me.
	11:51pm efd: you'll kick yourself when you hear it, Holly!
	11:51pm Danne D: I take it that Holly lost her EFD Best of 2014 Prediction Pool? ;)
	11:53pm bob_ham: I had this pegged as #1!
	11:53pm TroubleInMind: BOO YAH!
	11:53pm efd: In a lot of other years it would have been, Bob!
	11:54pm efd: Nice showing by TiM on the EFD Best Of, as per usual! :)
	11:54pm Danne D: I like the idea that all the labels on the list are lurking the comments on this show :)
	11:54pm TroubleInMind: you are too kind, Evan - thanks for all the love!
	11:55pm TroubleInMind: I'm always lurking.... ;)
	11:55pm Danne D: It's like Oscar Night for Record Labels :)
	11:56pm bob_ham: Who doesn't love Trouble In Mind? No one I want to be associated with.
	11:57pm Danne D: Of course it's the Paul and John :)
	11:57pm bob_ham: THE PAUL AND JOHN!!
	11:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the countdown, Evan.
	12:00am Holly in NC: I was so off! I was guessing a #1-#2 whammy from @Trouble in Mind- Ultimate Painting & Doug Tuttle. Then Sloan. Also, I'd forgotten the greatness of Cozy, bad me.
	12:00am Danne D: And EFD finishes right on time :D GREAT Show as always :) Have a good night everyone :) Bye Holly :)
	12:01am Ken From Hyde Park: OK, EFD, thanks for the highlights and back to work for you...gathering the bests to play for us in 2016!
	12:01am Danne D: (Holly to be fair it's hard to keep track of all of Evan's great choices)
	12:01am Holly in NC: Thank uou efd! xo Danne
	12:02am Holly in NC: ^you
