	9:10pm Scott Williams: EFD, I'll give it a shot!
	9:10pm Mr. Pumpy: @efd...killer tunes. I hung in a little longer than I thought, ducking out. Am I communicating to death? I think so...
	9:11pm Doug in JC: @Handy I had a cat that would rip open a bakery bag to eat scones. Didn't care if anyone was watching.
	9:12pm Handy Haversack: Later, Mr. P! Will store all my pain and blood for the Keilidh hours!
	9:12pm Doug in JC: @Handy Quarantine and DWI rules prohibit me from delivering scones right this second so a pic will have to do live.staticflickr.com...
	9:12pm Scott Williams: Hola Handy! Oh, the shirts are all right here in the studio with me. Between Michele & me, we'll figure out a way to get all 4000 of 'em out to y'all!
	9:13pm listener 126464: Hi efd, cheers everybody!
	9:13pm vertual: love the colors..reminds me of my middle school colors...go spartans... go team fmu.
	9:14pm Doug in JC: Why does Handy get 4000 shirts and I get like two
	9:14pm listener 126464: no huddles
	9:15pm Julie M: Hi Evan, and all. Chiming in late on the color scheme, but am I wrong, or is this the most diverse color scheme yet? I don't think I've seen this many colors used for the various elements.
	9:15pm Stevel: I only need 17 shirts. I'm not greedy.
	9:15pm Handy Haversack: Oh wow, Doug. I am going to put on all my 4000 shirts and get DOWN with a blueberry scone one of these days! Also: matches the playlist colors. Doug's a prophet!
	9:16pm JakeGould: My Metrocard lets me enter a dystopian landscape of maybe 3 - 5 people per car and most of them hobos.
	9:16pm CC: I like wearing the same shirt every day!!!
	9:17pm vertual: wait...these colors remind me of vintage ny state license plates
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: I'm gonna be making it rain Metrocards When All This Is Over. I missed the cutoff for telling them to stop taking money out of my paycheck for the Metrocards. So those will be given out as gifts on the subway to those what needs 'em.
	9:19pm Doug in JC: I will definitely owe you a scone Handy. This is a really nice palette. Snazzy, even
	9:19pm CC: it's all in the mind you know!?!
	9:19pm JakeGould: These colors are NY State colors, FWIW. Maybe not intentional but hey…
	9:20pm Handy Haversack: We'll trade scones and paddling adventures, Doug! Kate and I can car-top a canoe out to NJ, too!
	9:20pm Sue: Its the Rainbow Dome King!!!
	9:21pm Figgsrock: This cover is excellent.
	9:22pm Doug in JC: Yeah, Handy. Too bad this year sucks so bad. We’ll figure something out
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: Where there's a tide, there's a way, Doug. And the tides will keep coming.
	9:25pm BJ Skaught: What a great record Dynamico is!
	9:25pm dave wuz here: the male nurse is a house favorite here
	9:26pm kym: oh, Swayze, you've grown!
	9:27pm Yvang: A The Fall vibe here
	9:27pm vertual: The Male Nurse sounds like he's channeling The Fall
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: Can confirm, @Yvang. Scottish, though?
	9:27pm CC: As tides of reason change...their waves of wonder claim our souls... the innocent earn Heaven... while the wicked writhe in coals!!!...
	9:28pm Yvang: exactlty :-) @vertual!
	9:28pm dave wuz here: male nurse- pre country teasers
	9:29pm Fuzzy: The Fall meets LCD Soundsystem
	9:35pm adamp: There was before My Own Private P. Swayze and there is after My Own Private P. Swayze.
	9:42pm DouglasInDallas: OMG So out of it that I just went to listen to your archived show from last night and was disappointed you didn't have a show so opted instead to listen to live steam...and...boom...Here you are! (I better come out younger after this time warp bidness levels out...)
	9:42pm CC: so strive to fly but don't deny the truth that safely stored... allowing us to find the beauty of our own accord..
	9:43pm Handy Haversack: Just had to say "why can't you be pretty like Voltron" to SOME of the pets!
	9:45pm vertual: Long Neck and The Bedrooms...sound so good. The kind of bands i'd be listening to pressed up by the "stage" at a small club against the PA years ago,
	9:46pm Handy Haversack: Exbats! So good!
	9:47pm Chop Scott: Sounding great EFD!!
	9:49pm CC: Let love arise..!. to harmonize with all that we afford!!!!
	9:51pm efd: thank you Chop Scott, and thanks for being here everyone!
	9:52pm vertual: and now the "kick-ass" rock n roll portion of the program!
	9:53pm CC: affording none, till first we shun creation of discord..!..
	9:53pm Scott Williams: ohhh, it's the "Smoko" boys!
	9:54pm listener 126464: they got chicken vindaloo over there?
	9:59pm CC: discarding inhibitions...freely roaming with our Lords.. we free our minds and in them find, the keys to Sacred Doors...
	9:59pm Stevel: Absolutely, re. the three hours of escape for you, not to mention us! Thanks!
	10:00pm KP: Thank you Evan. We appreciate your show!
	10:00pm Handy Haversack: All hail the Skeletons! Praise them with great praise!
	10:03pm CC: he was from my generation... maybe a little more decadent???
	10:09pm Stevel: Wow, Europa. Takes me back to the earliest video days. Loved Thomas Dolby.
	10:10pm Yvang: I never forgot Thomas Dolby since he blinded me with science
	10:11pm BH: Listening to an HD2 station that plays 80s new wave (KROQ's HD2 station) gives me the superpower of hearing songs and realizing "hey, I've heard this relatively recently".. like the Dolby song.
	10:11pm vertual: He really PLAYED the bass. Takes me back to my formative years, growing up in Fla..Suddenly feeling humid. Hot sand burning my feet at the beach.
	10:12pm RobinSays: I had this Thomas Dolby single! A WLIR favorite. I thought he had that nerdy cool thing going on. Fun fact: Dolby was Lene Lovich's keyboard player.
	10:12pm BJ Skaught: His playing on the Soft Boys reunion record Nextdoorland is amazing -- I'm so glad I caught those two tours.
	10:15pm Aitch: Eek, high school stuff.
	10:17pm Steve: EFD, How about another Soft Boys tune like 'Black Snake Diamond Rock' ? An Underwater Moonlight bonus track.
	10:19pm SeanG: nice! diggin the peter murphy Cuts you up
	10:20pm CC: Arise, to realize 'it's pure...our love will never die... the dove is lame, yet he/she will reign... we die to touch the sky!!!...
	10:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice, the highly distinctive voice of Peter Murphy.
	10:23pm efd: @Steve you'll have to settle for a song from Black Snake Diamond Role instead.
	10:25pm Figgsrock: Great set EFD. I had no idea that he'd worked with so many people until I had to do up his obit.
	10:25pm BJ Skaught: Another of my favorites is his playing on Morrissey's "Yes I Am Blind"
	10:26pm PJ: In addition to the stuff you've been highlighting, EFD, Matthew's playing on Thomas Dolby's The Flat Earth is really great. Hope you can also work Absolute Beginners in.
	10:30pm RobinSays: Is that Kate bush on backing vocals?
	10:30pm Stevel: Gee, he could sing a song.
	10:31pm efd: @PJ Unfortunately I don't have that Dolby record, and his catalog is weirdly incomplete on the streaming service I subscribe to
	10:32pm efd: @Robin it is not! I refer you to past guest Chris O'Leary's essay on "Absolute Beginners:" bowiesongs.wordpress.com...
	10:33pm RobinSays: I remember being so excited to see Absolute Beginners and thinking it was...disappointing. i did like the music tho.
	10:35pm Stevel: That's also a fascinating group of performers. Definitely related in a variety of ways.
	10:36pm Brian: Great set, great tribute!
	10:36pm JakeGould: @RobinSays: Same. But also “Blue Jean.” The 1980s was really not that great an era for Bowie.
	10:37pm PJ: @RobinSays: On paper, Absolute Beginners should have been a great movie - Bowie, Ray Davies, London in the late '50's - but it was not good (though the soundtrack was).
	10:38pm kym: @JakeGould No love for the 'Tonight' album?!
	10:39pm Nat the Parker: Whoaoaoa Somethin ain't riiight
	10:39pm Nat the Parker: Gonna get my self Gonna get myself Gonna get myself connected
	10:39pm Yvang: The 80s were a great decade for Bowie's bank account
	10:40pm kym: @PJ Agreed! I haven't revisited it in a million years but remember being really disappointed with it. Showed such promise.
	10:45pm CC: eating and listening by the bedside now... night y'all...!..
	10:45pm JakeGould: @kym: The album is one thing. Bowie’s sojourns into video and film that were truly bad and that Glass Sopider tour was a train wreck. So yes, “Tonight” is irrelevant to me.
	10:48pm RobinSays: @PJ--true indeedy. Are The Bye Bye Blackbirds a current band?
	10:49pm Stevel: I've yet to hear Bowie that I didn't enjoy, but its a pretty broad swath that always required some adjustment on my part. For me, later eras were marked more by albums such as Lodger, Scary Monsters, Let's Dance (yes) Earthling. As his career matured, he pretty much got to do exactly what he thought he should do, often to great success. I've yet to closely listen to any of the last 3-4 albums, but what I've heard amazes me.
	10:49pm efd: @Robin they are! In fact, one of them was here on this very comment board earlier tonight!
	10:50pm RobinSays: Oh Wow! They're GREAT. A band I'd love to see once shows start up again.
	10:50pm Andrew S: scary monsters and lets dance were pretty fine albums. Latter two during the 80s not so great but had their moments
	10:51pm JakeGould: @AndrewS: Yes! That is more what I was saying. “Scary Monsters” and “Let’s Dance” are great… Not so much with the other stuff.
	10:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Furs sounding appropriately good, I think.
	10:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: They also have a blue color scheme for the new album cover: www.thepsychedelicfurs.com
	11:00pm John from NP: The new Furs and the new Cornershop are good stuffs.
	11:04pm JakeGould: FWIW, the page background color looks like Pantone’s color of the year: PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue
	11:04pm efd: @Jake that is EXACTLY what it is!
	11:05pm PJ: Don't know if it's the home broadcasting or just the recording technique on this Dream Syndicate track, but it has a very four-track Portastudio feel.
	11:05pm JakeGould: OMFG! I win a no prize! WOWOWOWO!
	11:05pm efd: @PJ it's the album, take my word for it :)
	11:06pm RobinSays: No fair Evan! I'm really tired and you keep playing amazing music. I don't want to go to sleep and miss out! Yeah,yeah I know the archives...
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: Night, everyone.
	11:07pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy EFD, Scott, Handy, HP Ken, SteveL,126464, everybody!
	11:07pm efd: goodnight Handy, hello Jack, sorry/not sorry Robin!
	11:07pm Scott Williams: Wow, nice Bogus Man vibe on this new Dream Syndicate! Hello Hoboken Jack!
	11:08pm PJ: @EFD - just program a few simple drum machine patterns, forget about compression or balancing anything, and just start laying tracks down. The actual singing vocals ("ah ah") are sounding a little too professional. Must have had a decent mic handy.
	11:09pm efd: they talk some about making the new record here: americansongwriter.com...
	11:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Welcome to the PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue EFD playlist, Jack.
	11:13pm listener 126464: 80% Reflex Blueberry
	11:14pm mariano: Hey efd, crew, everyone!
	11:15pm mariano: This Dream Syndicate is great.
	11:17pm listener 126464: new wynn interview about it- link on fmu twitter
	11:18pm Scott Williams: thanks for the link, EFD - great interview
	11:20pm listener 126464: oh yeah that one
	11:21pm PJ: @efd: that's interesting. It definitely sounds like just playing whatever and not worrying about structure or dramatics. I like this. A somewhat similar record, in philosophy at least, is The Third Mind (Dave Alvin, Victor Krummenacher, David Immergluck, Michael Jerome) record that came out earlier this year, which has more of a polished late '60's feel.
	11:22pm efd: and you all had plenty of time to read the interview while the song was playing!
	11:23pm JakeGould: @efd: Remote learning sucks!
	11:24pm efd: haha
	11:28pm Hoboken Jack: I purchased My Back Pages just as I began listening to the show tonight.
	11:28pm vertual: This update of the dBs is amazing.
	11:29pm Hoboken Jack: Our Back Pages. Whoever's Back Pages.
	11:29pm efd: ha, good call Jack!
	11:30pm Roberto: Holsapple and Stamey comin' through!
	11:34pm vertual: So reaffirming to hear all these guys during these weird times.
	11:35pm Phillippe Bastille: Love this Barone
	11:37pm Mr. Pumpy: efd: As warned...I'm back. I feel like the schmuck that comes back to a party and demands fun. Luckily...I am guaranteed fun. Thanks, efd!
	11:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Mr. P - Did you bring us the nachos?
	11:46pm efd: welcome back M. Pumpy
	11:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Ken...shit's about to get cheesy. I got's the goods. Chips and all...
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: efd...thanks. I hate shopping, but I'm digging this kind of shopping.
	11:49pm JakeGould: Las Kellies!
	11:50pm Mr. Pumpy: THIS tangerine?
	11:51pm efd: I don't make the rules
	11:51pm JakeGould: We live in a new masked society. Get used to it, citizen.
	11:52pm Stevel: Its not as good as the old masked society, I can tell you that.
	11:53pm Stevel: efd: Since you're home, are you grabbing more or sticking to the plan, having the time to make it.
	11:54pm Scott Williams: Great show EFD, thanks! Gotta head over to Mr Change's room now, see some of y'all there...
	11:54pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Nobody is wearing hoods… Yet?
	11:54pm efd: @Stevel still not fully at ease with mixing in physical media here, so largely I keep to selecting from a list of ~100 songs I put together a couple days before the show
	11:55pm efd: thanks for all your help, Scott!
	11:55pm mariano: Thanks efd, thanks scott - take care everyone!
	11:56pm JakeGould: Thanks EFD!
	11:57pm radioronan: Awesome show Evan, Thanks & Thanks Scott & Skeleton Crew
	11:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks EFD, thanks Scott. Good night friends
	11:58pm Stevel: However you're getting it done, its working! Thank you and all of the others at WFMU. Greatly, greatly appreciated. Good night all.
	11:58pm Stevel: Jake. Not yet
	11:59pm gfunk: Thanks for the hard work and support all!!! Down here in fl on the grind.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 22, 2020

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!

April 22, 2020: live from Studio E(FD), with an incomplete tribute to Matthew Seligman

	9:27pm Yvang: A The Fall vibe here
	9:27pm vertual: The Male Nurse sounds like he's channeling The Fall
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: Can confirm, @Yvang. Scottish, though?
	9:27pm CC: As tides of reason change...their waves of wonder claim our souls... the innocent earn Heaven... while the wicked writhe in coals!!!...
	9:28pm Yvang: exactlty :-) @vertual!
	9:28pm dave wuz here: male nurse- pre country teasers
	9:29pm Fuzzy: The Fall meets LCD Soundsystem
	9:35pm adamp: There was before My Own Private P. Swayze and there is after My Own Private P. Swayze.
	9:42pm DouglasInDallas: OMG So out of it that I just went to listen to your archived show from last night and was disappointed you didn't have a show so opted instead to listen to live steam...and...boom...Here you are! (I better come out younger after this time warp bidness levels out...)
	9:42pm CC: so strive to fly but don't deny the truth that safely stored... allowing us to find the beauty of our own accord..
	9:43pm Handy Haversack: Just had to say "why can't you be pretty like Voltron" to SOME of the pets!
	9:45pm vertual: Long Neck and The Bedrooms...sound so good. The kind of bands i'd be listening to pressed up by the "stage" at a small club against the PA years ago,
	9:46pm Handy Haversack: Exbats! So good!
	9:47pm Chop Scott: Sounding great EFD!!
	9:49pm CC: Let love arise..!. to harmonize with all that we afford!!!!
	9:51pm efd: thank you Chop Scott, and thanks for being here everyone!
	9:52pm vertual: and now the "kick-ass" rock n roll portion of the program!
	9:53pm CC: affording none, till first we shun creation of discord..!..
	9:53pm Scott Williams: ohhh, it's the "Smoko" boys!
	9:54pm listener 126464: they got chicken vindaloo over there?
	9:59pm CC: discarding inhibitions...freely roaming with our Lords.. we free our minds and in them find, the keys to Sacred Doors...
	9:59pm Stevel: Absolutely, re. the three hours of escape for you, not to mention us! Thanks!
	10:00pm KP: Thank you Evan. We appreciate your show!
	10:00pm Handy Haversack: All hail the Skeletons! Praise them with great praise!
	10:03pm CC: he was from my generation... maybe a little more decadent???
	10:09pm Stevel: Wow, Europa. Takes me back to the earliest video days. Loved Thomas Dolby.
	10:10pm Yvang: I never forgot Thomas Dolby since he blinded me with science
	10:11pm BH: Listening to an HD2 station that plays 80s new wave (KROQ's HD2 station) gives me the superpower of hearing songs and realizing "hey, I've heard this relatively recently".. like the Dolby song.
	10:11pm vertual: He really PLAYED the bass. Takes me back to my formative years, growing up in Fla..Suddenly feeling humid. Hot sand burning my feet at the beach.
	10:12pm RobinSays: I had this Thomas Dolby single! A WLIR favorite. I thought he had that nerdy cool thing going on. Fun fact: Dolby was Lene Lovich's keyboard player.
	10:12pm BJ Skaught: His playing on the Soft Boys reunion record Nextdoorland is amazing -- I'm so glad I caught those two tours.
	10:15pm Aitch: Eek, high school stuff.
	10:17pm Steve: EFD, How about another Soft Boys tune like 'Black Snake Diamond Rock' ? An Underwater Moonlight bonus track.
	10:19pm SeanG: nice! diggin the peter murphy Cuts you up
	10:20pm CC: Arise, to realize 'it's pure...our love will never die... the dove is lame, yet he/she will reign... we die to touch the sky!!!...
	10:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice, the highly distinctive voice of Peter Murphy.
	10:23pm efd: @Steve you'll have to settle for a song from Black Snake Diamond Role instead.
	10:25pm Figgsrock: Great set EFD. I had no idea that he'd worked with so many people until I had to do up his obit.
	10:25pm BJ Skaught: Another of my favorites is his playing on Morrissey's "Yes I Am Blind"
	10:26pm PJ: In addition to the stuff you've been highlighting, EFD, Matthew's playing on Thomas Dolby's The Flat Earth is really great. Hope you can also work Absolute Beginners in.
	10:30pm RobinSays: Is that Kate bush on backing vocals?
	10:30pm Stevel: Gee, he could sing a song.
	10:31pm efd: @PJ Unfortunately I don't have that Dolby record, and his catalog is weirdly incomplete on the streaming service I subscribe to
	10:32pm efd: @Robin it is not! I refer you to past guest Chris O'Leary's essay on "Absolute Beginners:" bowiesongs.wordpress.com...
	10:33pm RobinSays: I remember being so excited to see Absolute Beginners and thinking it was...disappointing. i did like the music tho.
	10:35pm Stevel: That's also a fascinating group of performers. Definitely related in a variety of ways.
	10:36pm Brian: Great set, great tribute!
	10:36pm JakeGould: @RobinSays: Same. But also “Blue Jean.” The 1980s was really not that great an era for Bowie.
	10:37pm PJ: @RobinSays: On paper, Absolute Beginners should have been a great movie - Bowie, Ray Davies, London in the late '50's - but it was not good (though the soundtrack was).
	10:38pm kym: @JakeGould No love for the 'Tonight' album?!
	10:39pm Nat the Parker: Whoaoaoa Somethin ain't riiight
	10:39pm Nat the Parker: Gonna get my self Gonna get myself Gonna get myself connected
	10:39pm Yvang: The 80s were a great decade for Bowie's bank account
	10:40pm kym: @PJ Agreed! I haven't revisited it in a million years but remember being really disappointed with it. Showed such promise.
	10:45pm CC: eating and listening by the bedside now... night y'all...!..
	10:45pm JakeGould: @kym: The album is one thing. Bowie’s sojourns into video and film that were truly bad and that Glass Sopider tour was a train wreck. So yes, “Tonight” is irrelevant to me.
	10:48pm RobinSays: @PJ--true indeedy. Are The Bye Bye Blackbirds a current band?
	10:49pm Stevel: I've yet to hear Bowie that I didn't enjoy, but its a pretty broad swath that always required some adjustment on my part. For me, later eras were marked more by albums such as Lodger, Scary Monsters, Let's Dance (yes) Earthling. As his career matured, he pretty much got to do exactly what he thought he should do, often to great success. I've yet to closely listen to any of the last 3-4 albums, but what I've heard amazes me.
	10:49pm efd: @Robin they are! In fact, one of them was here on this very comment board earlier tonight!
	10:50pm RobinSays: Oh Wow! They're GREAT. A band I'd love to see once shows start up again.
	10:50pm Andrew S: scary monsters and lets dance were pretty fine albums. Latter two during the 80s not so great but had their moments
	10:51pm JakeGould: @AndrewS: Yes! That is more what I was saying. “Scary Monsters” and “Let’s Dance” are great… Not so much with the other stuff.
	10:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Furs sounding appropriately good, I think.
	10:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: They also have a blue color scheme for the new album cover: www.thepsychedelicfurs.com
	11:00pm John from NP: The new Furs and the new Cornershop are good stuffs.
	11:04pm JakeGould: FWIW, the page background color looks like Pantone’s color of the year: PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue
	11:04pm efd: @Jake that is EXACTLY what it is!
	11:05pm PJ: Don't know if it's the home broadcasting or just the recording technique on this Dream Syndicate track, but it has a very four-track Portastudio feel.
	11:05pm JakeGould: OMFG! I win a no prize! WOWOWOWO!
	11:05pm efd: @PJ it's the album, take my word for it :)
	11:06pm RobinSays: No fair Evan! I'm really tired and you keep playing amazing music. I don't want to go to sleep and miss out! Yeah,yeah I know the archives...
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: Night, everyone.
	11:07pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy EFD, Scott, Handy, HP Ken, SteveL,126464, everybody!
	11:07pm efd: goodnight Handy, hello Jack, sorry/not sorry Robin!
	11:07pm Scott Williams: Wow, nice Bogus Man vibe on this new Dream Syndicate! Hello Hoboken Jack!
	11:08pm PJ: @EFD - just program a few simple drum machine patterns, forget about compression or balancing anything, and just start laying tracks down. The actual singing vocals ("ah ah") are sounding a little too professional. Must have had a decent mic handy.
	11:09pm efd: they talk some about making the new record here: americansongwriter.com...
	11:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Welcome to the PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue EFD playlist, Jack.
	11:13pm listener 126464: 80% Reflex Blueberry
	11:14pm mariano: Hey efd, crew, everyone!
	11:15pm mariano: This Dream Syndicate is great.
	11:17pm listener 126464: new wynn interview about it- link on fmu twitter
	11:18pm Scott Williams: thanks for the link, EFD - great interview
	11:20pm listener 126464: oh yeah that one
	11:21pm PJ: @efd: that's interesting. It definitely sounds like just playing whatever and not worrying about structure or dramatics. I like this. A somewhat similar record, in philosophy at least, is The Third Mind (Dave Alvin, Victor Krummenacher, David Immergluck, Michael Jerome) record that came out earlier this year, which has more of a polished late '60's feel.
	11:22pm efd: and you all had plenty of time to read the interview while the song was playing!
	11:23pm JakeGould: @efd: Remote learning sucks!
	11:24pm efd: haha
	11:28pm Hoboken Jack: I purchased My Back Pages just as I began listening to the show tonight.
	11:28pm vertual: This update of the dBs is amazing.
	11:29pm Hoboken Jack: Our Back Pages. Whoever's Back Pages.
	11:29pm efd: ha, good call Jack!
	11:30pm Roberto: Holsapple and Stamey comin' through!
	11:34pm vertual: So reaffirming to hear all these guys during these weird times.
	11:35pm Phillippe Bastille: Love this Barone
	11:37pm Mr. Pumpy: efd: As warned...I'm back. I feel like the schmuck that comes back to a party and demands fun. Luckily...I am guaranteed fun. Thanks, efd!
	11:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Mr. P - Did you bring us the nachos?
	11:46pm efd: welcome back M. Pumpy
	11:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Ken...shit's about to get cheesy. I got's the goods. Chips and all...
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: efd...thanks. I hate shopping, but I'm digging this kind of shopping.
	11:49pm JakeGould: Las Kellies!
	11:50pm Mr. Pumpy: THIS tangerine?
	11:51pm efd: I don't make the rules
	11:51pm JakeGould: We live in a new masked society. Get used to it, citizen.
	11:52pm Stevel: Its not as good as the old masked society, I can tell you that.
	11:53pm Stevel: efd: Since you're home, are you grabbing more or sticking to the plan, having the time to make it.
	11:54pm Scott Williams: Great show EFD, thanks! Gotta head over to Mr Change's room now, see some of y'all there...
	11:54pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Nobody is wearing hoods… Yet?
	11:54pm efd: @Stevel still not fully at ease with mixing in physical media here, so largely I keep to selecting from a list of ~100 songs I put together a couple days before the show
	11:55pm efd: thanks for all your help, Scott!
	11:55pm mariano: Thanks efd, thanks scott - take care everyone!
	11:56pm JakeGould: Thanks EFD!
	11:57pm radioronan: Awesome show Evan, Thanks & Thanks Scott & Skeleton Crew
	11:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks EFD, thanks Scott. Good night friends
	11:58pm Stevel: However you're getting it done, its working! Thank you and all of the others at WFMU. Greatly, greatly appreciated. Good night all.
	11:58pm Stevel: Jake. Not yet
