	9:54pm JakeGould: @ef: You’re welcome! I don’t think he is related to Kylie Minogue, but he does have one well treaded 1970s credits to his name. And now he’s into religion.
	9:56pm herb.nyc: (in shower,
	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!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from August 12, 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.

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!

August 12, 2015: Florida record store finds, and a tribute to the late Ken Lewis

	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!
