	9:59pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: I’m making french fries. Language, please.
	10:07pm JakeGould: This Heminger song is just so wonderfully dorky.
	♥ 10:08pm Ike & the Head of a Dead Ram: I'm pretty sure the french fries can't hear Herb taking a shower.
	10:10pm JakeGould: If I burn these fries there will be heck to pay.
	♥ 10:11pm Ike & Ram: But what does that have to do with Herb's shower? I'm so confused.
	10:12pm JakeGould: Herb said he was in the shower just as I put them in the oven.
	10:12pm Andrew S: My Iphone once corrected Kylie Monogue to Kylie Minotaur. It was the only time I wasnt annoyed by the correction
	10:19pm Danne D: yay :)
	10:20pm Danne D: I've heard these guys have some pretty famous friends :D (EHD)
	10:23pm Danne D: That Michael Shelley premium is essential
	10:24pm Danne D: YAY!!!! BLUE JAYS!!!!!!
	10:24pm steve: haha
	10:25pm Cooh John: I got my Michael Shelley premium.
	♥ 10:25pm Aharon: Long Bawls isn't sure how he feels about this.
	10:27pm Danne D: @Aharon - you'll just resume winning the league for the 90th year in a row.
	♥ 10:27pm Stevel: Hemmingers! They've been through Fort Wayne a time or two. Michigan, I think? Fun.
	10:27pm Danne D: Though as a Jays fan I'm happy that all of my fantasy players seem to have gotten traded to them and they're winning :)
	♥ 10:28pm Aharon: @Danne: I have a feeling tonight I slip to a gentleman's second.
	10:28pm Danne D: only temporary Aharon. We all know this.
	♥ 10:29pm Ike & Ram: Did Kylie Minotaur have lots of #1 hits in Atlantis despite being a one- or two-hit wonder up on the surface world?
	10:29pm Danne D: She had an amazing career Ike
	♥ 10:31pm Aharon: @Danne: true! 2nd is on the way to 3rd! Or 5th!
	10:33pm Danne D: Aharaon you're gonna pull like 9 more trades and squash me like a grape. Or a squash.
	10:33pm Cooh John: I am confused. Ken Carter/Ken Lewis/John Carter? Scratching my head.
	♥ 10:34pm efd: Ken Lewis/John Carter. Did I mix them up? It wouldn't surprise me the way this week has gone.
	♥ 10:34pm efd: oh nm I see what I did
	♥ 10:36pm coelacanth: olá efd and funkies
	♥ 10:40pm efd: greetings coel!
	10:41pm Cooh John: Wow. Good stuff.
	♥ 10:43pm coelacanth: hmm,i 've never heard this original version. 'perfect for herman's hermits. did they write other HH songs?
	♥ 10:45pm efd: I think that was the only one, but not 100% sure.
	10:45pm Danne D: Hi coelacanth :)
	10:50pm Cooh John: Do I hear Brian Wilson being channeled?
	♥ 10:53pm coelacanth: Yes i think that was the only one, and now i think it's quite different than most of the carter-lewis songs.(which are much more Jan & Dean/beach boys-esque) Hi Danne!
	♥ 10:54pm efd: Certainly an influence... John Carter talked about that a little when I interviewed him.
	♥ 11:00pm coelacanth: (i can't hear the interview segments so much. i have to keep the volume very low here tonight- which would be frustrating for bass or rhythm-oriented music; but for this melodic stuff it's fortunately still enjoyable.)
	11:00pm cheri: efd, i came back just to say goodnight, and i wouldn't miss next weeks dance party for the world!
	11:07pm b: that second show sounds terrifying
	♥ 11:09pm coelacanth: Evan i get the impression from wikipedia that that song was recorded in '81...but it's pretty vague.
	♥ 11:10pm Uncle Michael: Greetings!
	11:11pm JakeGould: Hey Uncle Michael, how’s it hanging?
	♥ 11:13pm Tome: Great stuff once again EFD !
	♥ 11:13pm Uncle Michael: With the Cubs 16 games over .500, it does not hang.
	♥ 11:13pm efd: hi Uncle Michael! Maybe you remember, since it was your show where I first heard it - what IS the story with that "Silicon City" song??
	♥ 11:16pm Uncle Michael: There's a story? Hmm...seems like there should be simply because it sounds like a more recent recording than other so-called Flowerpot Men or whatever releases. It's a Tony Burrows thing but I see you and I have it credited to different "artists." It's been a long time since I researched it.
	11:17pm cheri: well efd goodnight for real, but next week i'm going to feel like a dancing queen!
	♥ 11:17pm coelacanth: ...judging by a few different websites, i think it was recorded in 1981 to put on the b side of a reissue of "...san francisco". (but again- vague!)
	♥ 11:18pm Uncle Michael: Is the let's go to SF on the a-side a different version than the flowerpot men version?
	♥ 11:18pm efd: the single I have credits it to Carter/Lewis - no mention of Burrows, though he could be on the record.
	♥ 11:19pm efd: the a-side is "Let's go BACK to San Francisco," so yeah not the same as the original
	11:19pm Danne D: Sounds like a funky Yes :)
	♥ 11:20pm Uncle Michael: My guess is that I saw it was a b-side to LGTSF and assume that I was seeing a miscredit for the artist and thought since it was a Flowerpot release, the b-side was too. I assumed too much. I see my mistake.
	♥ 11:20pm Uncle Michael: Odds are Burrows is on neither side.
	♥ 11:21pm Santos L Halper: Loving this fringe benefit. Bring it for your next battle with Clay
	♥ 11:22pm Uncle Michael: I'm generally trying to research the original release for something that may be on a comp. It's a risky proposal.
	11:22pm Ballou: A Jersey boy at heart, it's kinda F-Ing awesome that I can listen to WFMU on my way home from work in Los Angeles
	♥ 11:23pm Cubicle Carl: Oh man, EFD, this shopping track is the bomb.
	♥ 11:25pm efd: hey Ballou, very cool that you're listening out there! We live in amazing times. Agree on Shopping, Cubicle Carl!
	11:25pm steve: much good Shopping, very
	♥ 11:26pm Uncle Michael: I blast FMU all over Topeka.
	♥ 11:26pm efd: Santos, that was another Florida find! Just picked it up yesterday.
	11:26pm steve: disco next week?
	11:26pm JakeGould: That Chinese proverb about living in interesting times is all about the Internet and streaming and comments.
	♥ 11:27pm efd: Uncle Michael, I will try to get the straight story on that Beautiful People record at some point and will report back.
	11:29pm steve: wait yes i found the comment saying as much, nm. very sleepy
	♥ 11:29pm efd: yes, next week is the annual Disco Dance Party show!
	♥ 11:29pm coelacanth: ...the 1981 release of ...san francisco is def a newer recording than the (much better) 1967 album version. that's my story and i'm sticking to it!
	♥ 11:29pm Stevel: Great show tonight. Helping me through a seemingly-fruitless online search for a short-term apartment in Chicago for my son. (Head. Hurts.)
	♥ 11:30pm Santos L Halper: Ah, just seeing the FL theme; another Clay Connection. And on Capricorn to boot!
	♥ 11:30pm efd: the thing is, coelacanth, that the Flowerpot Men CD that I have includes "Let's Go Back To..." and says that it was recorded in 1969 but not released. My head hurts too.
	11:30pm cheri: evan, I've just been looking at the program schedule and I don't see the "disco dance party" event anywhere.
	♥ 11:31pm efd: yes, well, that's because I haven't sent anyone a listing for it.
	♥ 11:32pm efd: Now my head hurts more.
	♥ 11:32pm coelacanth: www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com...
	11:33pm steve: disco cures all
	11:34pm cheri: well i'll be back next week efd! again i'm looking forward to it.thanks
	♥ 11:37pm coelacanth: yeah it could've been recorded in '69,then mastered all shiny in '81.
	♥ 11:38pm efd: I'm more inclined to believe the CD liner notes that it was recorded and 1969 and unreleased, though I do think maybe some additional tracks/instruments were added before the single came out in '81.
	♥ 11:40pm Tome: OIY OIY OIY !!!
	♥ 11:42pm coelacanth: well i agree! i didn't know they said that and nothing i came across mentioned it... not that liner notes can't be a big joke, that's still a more believable source than all the ones i've just explored.
	11:46pm JakeGould: @Tome: Oy! I believe it’s “Oi! Oi! Oi!”
	11:46pm JakeGould: Disco teaser? Yes!
	♥ 11:47pm Stevel: Disco Teaser was not my stripper name.
	11:48pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Yeah, yours was Disco Nailgun.
	♥ 11:50pm coelacanth: Thank you efd! ciao people
	11:50pm JakeGould: Mine was Disco Sander.
	♥ 11:50pm Stevel: Due primarily to my special 'dance'. Had to see it.
	♥ 11:50pm Stevel: Smoove.
	11:51pm JakeGould: I liked to use #60 grit to make sure the ladies are stripped all the way down.
	♥ 11:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, EFD. Night all.
	♥ 11:56pm efd: thanks for tuning in everyone! Get your dancing shoes ready for next week!
	♥ 11:58pm Cubicle Carl: Disco party next week? Great! I'll pick out my good pants.
	11:59pm Danne D: Thanks for another awesome show EFD :) Have a good night Funk Fans :D Until next time!
	♥ 11:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: See ya!

	♥ 10:34pm efd: Ken Lewis/John Carter. Did I mix them up? It wouldn't surprise me the way this week has gone.
	♥ 10:34pm efd: oh nm I see what I did
	♥ 10:36pm coelacanth: olá efd and funkies
	♥ 10:40pm efd: greetings coel!
	10:41pm Cooh John: Wow. Good stuff.
	♥ 10:43pm coelacanth: hmm,i 've never heard this original version. 'perfect for herman's hermits. did they write other HH songs?
	♥ 10:45pm efd: I think that was the only one, but not 100% sure.
	10:45pm Danne D: Hi coelacanth :)
	10:50pm Cooh John: Do I hear Brian Wilson being channeled?
	♥ 10:53pm coelacanth: Yes i think that was the only one, and now i think it's quite different than most of the carter-lewis songs.(which are much more Jan & Dean/beach boys-esque) Hi Danne!
	♥ 10:54pm efd: Certainly an influence... John Carter talked about that a little when I interviewed him.
	♥ 11:00pm coelacanth: (i can't hear the interview segments so much. i have to keep the volume very low here tonight- which would be frustrating for bass or rhythm-oriented music; but for this melodic stuff it's fortunately still enjoyable.)
	11:00pm cheri: efd, i came back just to say goodnight, and i wouldn't miss next weeks dance party for the world!
	11:07pm b: that second show sounds terrifying
	♥ 11:09pm coelacanth: Evan i get the impression from wikipedia that that song was recorded in '81...but it's pretty vague.
	♥ 11:10pm Uncle Michael: Greetings!
	11:11pm JakeGould: Hey Uncle Michael, how’s it hanging?
	♥ 11:13pm Tome: Great stuff once again EFD !
	♥ 11:13pm Uncle Michael: With the Cubs 16 games over .500, it does not hang.
	♥ 11:13pm efd: hi Uncle Michael! Maybe you remember, since it was your show where I first heard it - what IS the story with that "Silicon City" song??
	♥ 11:16pm Uncle Michael: There's a story? Hmm...seems like there should be simply because it sounds like a more recent recording than other so-called Flowerpot Men or whatever releases. It's a Tony Burrows thing but I see you and I have it credited to different "artists." It's been a long time since I researched it.
	11:17pm cheri: well efd goodnight for real, but next week i'm going to feel like a dancing queen!
	♥ 11:17pm coelacanth: ...judging by a few different websites, i think it was recorded in 1981 to put on the b side of a reissue of "...san francisco". (but again- vague!)
	♥ 11:18pm Uncle Michael: Is the let's go to SF on the a-side a different version than the flowerpot men version?
	♥ 11:18pm efd: the single I have credits it to Carter/Lewis - no mention of Burrows, though he could be on the record.
	♥ 11:19pm efd: the a-side is "Let's go BACK to San Francisco," so yeah not the same as the original
	11:19pm Danne D: Sounds like a funky Yes :)
	♥ 11:20pm Uncle Michael: My guess is that I saw it was a b-side to LGTSF and assume that I was seeing a miscredit for the artist and thought since it was a Flowerpot release, the b-side was too. I assumed too much. I see my mistake.
	♥ 11:20pm Uncle Michael: Odds are Burrows is on neither side.
	♥ 11:21pm Santos L Halper: Loving this fringe benefit. Bring it for your next battle with Clay
	♥ 11:22pm Uncle Michael: I'm generally trying to research the original release for something that may be on a comp. It's a risky proposal.
	11:22pm Ballou: A Jersey boy at heart, it's kinda F-Ing awesome that I can listen to WFMU on my way home from work in Los Angeles
	♥ 11:23pm Cubicle Carl: Oh man, EFD, this shopping track is the bomb.
	♥ 11:25pm efd: hey Ballou, very cool that you're listening out there! We live in amazing times. Agree on Shopping, Cubicle Carl!
	11:25pm steve: much good Shopping, very
	♥ 11:26pm Uncle Michael: I blast FMU all over Topeka.
	♥ 11:26pm efd: Santos, that was another Florida find! Just picked it up yesterday.
	11:26pm steve: disco next week?
	11:26pm JakeGould: That Chinese proverb about living in interesting times is all about the Internet and streaming and comments.
	♥ 11:27pm efd: Uncle Michael, I will try to get the straight story on that Beautiful People record at some point and will report back.
	11:29pm steve: wait yes i found the comment saying as much, nm. very sleepy
	♥ 11:29pm efd: yes, next week is the annual Disco Dance Party show!
	♥ 11:29pm coelacanth: ...the 1981 release of ...san francisco is def a newer recording than the (much better) 1967 album version. that's my story and i'm sticking to it!
	♥ 11:29pm Stevel: Great show tonight. Helping me through a seemingly-fruitless online search for a short-term apartment in Chicago for my son. (Head. Hurts.)
	♥ 11:30pm Santos L Halper: Ah, just seeing the FL theme; another Clay Connection. And on Capricorn to boot!
	♥ 11:30pm efd: the thing is, coelacanth, that the Flowerpot Men CD that I have includes "Let's Go Back To..." and says that it was recorded in 1969 but not released. My head hurts too.
	11:30pm cheri: evan, I've just been looking at the program schedule and I don't see the "disco dance party" event anywhere.
	♥ 11:31pm efd: yes, well, that's because I haven't sent anyone a listing for it.
	♥ 11:32pm efd: Now my head hurts more.
	♥ 11:32pm coelacanth: www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com...
	11:33pm steve: disco cures all
	11:34pm cheri: well i'll be back next week efd! again i'm looking forward to it.thanks
	♥ 11:37pm coelacanth: yeah it could've been recorded in '69,then mastered all shiny in '81.
	♥ 11:38pm efd: I'm more inclined to believe the CD liner notes that it was recorded and 1969 and unreleased, though I do think maybe some additional tracks/instruments were added before the single came out in '81.
	♥ 11:40pm Tome: OIY OIY OIY !!!
	♥ 11:42pm coelacanth: well i agree! i didn't know they said that and nothing i came across mentioned it... not that liner notes can't be a big joke, that's still a more believable source than all the ones i've just explored.
	11:46pm JakeGould: @Tome: Oy! I believe it’s “Oi! Oi! Oi!”
	11:46pm JakeGould: Disco teaser? Yes!
	♥ 11:47pm Stevel: Disco Teaser was not my stripper name.
	11:48pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Yeah, yours was Disco Nailgun.
	♥ 11:50pm coelacanth: Thank you efd! ciao people
	11:50pm JakeGould: Mine was Disco Sander.
	♥ 11:50pm Stevel: Due primarily to my special 'dance'. Had to see it.
	♥ 11:50pm Stevel: Smoove.
	11:51pm JakeGould: I liked to use #60 grit to make sure the ladies are stripped all the way down.
	♥ 11:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, EFD. Night all.
	♥ 11:56pm efd: thanks for tuning in everyone! Get your dancing shoes ready for next week!
	♥ 11:58pm Cubicle Carl: Disco party next week? Great! I'll pick out my good pants.
	11:59pm Danne D: Thanks for another awesome show EFD :) Have a good night Funk Fans :D Until next time!
	♥ 11:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: See ya!
