	9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Has JimmyPage.)
	9:27pm Stevel: Good evening, all. Loved the Lulu interview with Todophonic Todd last Saturday. Her singing over the phone was very cool.

	9:31pm grace gold way: jake, what's your favorite deli?

	9:34pm steve: did someone say cat avatars
	9:36pm Julie M Brooklyn: Oh, Steve. Tell me that's your real cat.
	9:37pm efd: hi Cait! Nice to see you here!
	9:37pm jt: Thanks efd, It sounded so different. Guess i never heard it over the air, on my kitchen speakers, eating a taco..
	9:38pm Bootsie: Not liking the autotune. :-(
	9:39pm steve: no, but it a real life 4 eared cat
	9:40pm efd: I hear you, Bootsie, but I am willing to give Debbie Harry a whole lot of slack at this point. :)
	9:40pm chris_in_space: I'm not huge on all the techniques... but yeah, it's Debbie Harry. Open door policy.
	9:41pm Bootsie: @Evan she IS a goddess.
	9:42pm chris_in_space: This Midnight Reruns, however, takes zero effort to love
	9:42pm JakeGould: @GraceGoldWay: My favorite deli? That’s kinda personal. But nowadays since tons of old school delis are gone, I would say “Little Poland” in the East Village or that mini-chain known as “Essen” that is like a Korean deli done right.
	9:42pm efd: Indeed.
	9:46pm Steve: EFD, can I ask you a music question ?
	9:47pm grace gold way: my polish friends in high school always had little shows at lil poland, ha
	9:47pm efd: I'm having deja vu, Steve, but go ahead. I think you asked me one a couple of weeks ago and I didn't respond but also didn't know the answer...?
	9:50pm JakeGould: The had shows in “Little Poland?” What kind?
	9:50pm Steve: Never mind I don't want to bother you
	9:51pm grace gold way: folky rocky polish american music
	9:51pm Andrew Benintendi: cool story, brah.
	9:52pm chris_in_space: omg dares
	9:56pm JakeGould: I would have gone for the pierogis. Who doesn’t like pierogis?
	9:57pm grace gold way: yummm
	9:59pm Matt J: Great set!
	10:02pm chris_in_space: Just bought that Dares 7". Instant love. This show is cookin' to-night.
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Funklings Good i got here in time for the "heavy" portion of the programme!
	10:04pm Stevel: A worthy Godfathers cover!
	10:06pm efd: i've got news for you, Stevel: That was the original!
	10:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: I don't know the pronunciation of ötzi, either, but I recognize that as the name given to the mummified body discovered in the Alps a few years back.
	10:12pm efd: damn Ken, you're good!
	10:15pm Stevel: Original? Schooled! Electric Citizen is a great band name, especially lately.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: that creation track was fucking brilliant!
	10:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Heh, I watched a PBS show about him.
	10:16pm Ignore Function: Wow, The Godfathers are back?
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: "Good Memory Ken" we call him.
	10:23pm medson: Frankie & the Witch Fingers are one of my fav bands : )
	10:33pm Julie M Brooklyn: This is a great Bee Gees song. And an interesting cover.
	10:37pm JakeGould: Otzi was one sweet fella. We all said, “That Otzi is going places!”
	10:38pm chris_in_space: Oh my damn–UFO. Killin' it tonight, @efd
	10:38pm Howard F: Good evening friends!
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: ötzi went to the point of know return.
	10:48pm Carmichael: Heya Evan!
	10:49pm el Garree~: Hello EFD listeners: ötzi: Sounds like a type of pasta... look but don't eat though... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/De-Oetzi-pronunciation.ogg
	10:49pm steve: needs more reverb
	10:58pm Hoboken Jack: Listen to what EFD says!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Is this the original album release? It sounds very clear.
	11:02pm efd: yup, direct from vinyl Carmichael! hiya Jack!
	11:03pm el Garree~: needed more reverb but now more lennon
	11:13pm el Garree~: Just to set the record straight... Dion is a really nice person. Hey dj, set that record straight.
	11:18pm el Garree~: Ya know, I think I like Geoff's version of "Brazil" more than Maria's stuff. A lot of history in that. And lot's of love for WFMU.
	11:20pm efd: I don't think I said anything to suggest Dion wasn't a nice person, did I?
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: you didn't, Evan...Dion's music did that on it's own!
	11:27pm el Garree~: No, not a bit. He was the rock star of his brief time. I should have phrased it differently. Just a nice guy who I met. Point taken toward my personal deportment. Sorry, been watching to much "news" and rough around the edges.
	11:28pm BEAVO: This sounds a lot like The Verve.
	11:29pm Carmichael: Needless to say, this stuff ROCKS!
	11:30pm JakeGould: @EFD: Maybe that Dion comment was a reference to me saying Otzi was a nice guy? I mean he was! And now he’s a great mummy!
	11:32pm el Garree~: Huh? So did Dion die too? Say it ain't so...
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: yes it did have some verve to it.
	11:34pm el Garree~: ötzi was a person of his time. so was/is dion.
	11:35pm efd: Dion is not dead! Just making a connection between those two songs is all.
	11:36pm Eddy in Australia: Hi everyone. Been lurking tonight. Great show, Evan. Thumbs up especially for playing Splodge and the Teardrops.
	11:37pm efd: Eddy! There's a new compilation here at the station that has an Anne Cessna track on it!
	11:38pm Carmichael: Dion is 77 years young.
	11:41pm Eddy in Australia: @Evan: Whoa, that was quick! Sounds like "Closed Circuits," which I mentioned on your show.
	11:42pm Eddy in Australia: Anyone else hear a little Yazoo in this Garrasco's track?
	11:42pm efd: this is something different - it's called 'Subnormal Girls' (Vol 2) - international lineup of bands with female singers. There's another Australian band called Microfilm on it.
	11:43pm el Garree~: Dion LIVES! But still a nice guy. So do you have a tight playlist or "ride on the vibe" as we used to say in the 80's? OK I just made that up. Do tell...
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: yazoo or yaz?!
	11:43pm efd: I live song-to-song. If that.
	11:45pm Dan from Toronto: Sounds great from up here, Evan
	11:47pm efd: thanks Dan!
	11:47pm el Garree~: EFD: DJ is the Silver Song Surfer...
	11:48pm Carmichael: Bay area rockrs!
	11:48pm Eddy in Australia: @Evan: Aah, that one. Microfilm was Lisa Gerrard's (Dead Can Dance) first band. @Coelacantha: Only Yaz in America, (original name) Yazoo everywhere else.
	11:51pm Dangerous Lee: Dug that blank square
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Eddy! - i just looked into that. 'weird i never knew, all these years.
	11:55pm medson: another great show tonight
	11:58pm P-90: Many thanks @efd!
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Funk quota fulfilled. Right at the deadline. Thanks, efd.
	11:58pm Mike Sin: Eye bin listenin'! Another great one.
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks efd for a Fine program indeed.
	11:59pm efd: thanks @medson and thanks everyone! Stay tuned for small change!
	11:59pm efd: hi Mike! Bye Mike!
	12:00am el Garree~: tight!

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!

May 24, 2017: we can make each other happy
