	9:08pm Joe B: who the hell releases a record on dec. 29!
	9:09pm efd: With the holidays it probably didn't actually hit stores until January. :D

	9:10pm ultradamno: @Joe Even weirder, that was apparently a Monday www.onthisday.com...
	9:10pm Joe B: Matt mine is Oct 1 so you can start shopping early
	9:11pm CC: This Record goes great with Savoy Brown outside looking in!!!
	9:11pm steveL: Think they’re done? Great finish!
	9:11pm Matt Fiveash: Joe- that one I remember because it's also my Mom's birthday!
	9:11pm McGroovey: Or Outside/Inside the Tubes (or was that Inside/Outside?) OK, maybe not as well.
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: the "live album" version goes on longer yet, and every minute is bliss.
	9:12pm Joe B: @Matt - and walter matthau, though will now be known as the anniversary of the Piggies/Barrence/Elvis at Monty Hall
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: (never heard this one)
	9:13pm Matt Fiveash: Joe- headed out to Costco right now to start the gift shopping process
	9:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, funk folk. Happy birthday, UM. Also birthdays of station personalities George from Wake 'n' Bake and Psychopathic Jim Fields.
	9:14pm Joe B: I heard toilet paper is a hot item this year!
	9:14pm Rob W: The Mops had a great theme song during their early days, during Japan's "Group Sounds" era - it was called "I'm Just a Mops"!
	9:15pm Matt Fiveash: Kinda surprised in retrospect that there wasn't a Walter Matthau angle to that show at Monty Hall!
	9:15pm Joe B: re Dec 29 Grand Funk - was that the year they had the huge Times Square billboard? maybe they wanted it out before new year's eve for that reason.
	9:15pm Matt Fiveash: That was a fun night, as I sort of remember
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: @Joe B: Also my dad's bday. He'd turn 104 this year!
	9:16pm Joe B: @Matt - my choices were commandeering a PATH train car a la Pelham 1-2-3 or pitching some drunken batting practice
	9:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I'm A Mop!
	9:17pm Joe B: yeah! mad daddys!
	9:17pm ultradamno: The billboard was for Closer To Home, from the looks of it www.thegearpage.net...
	9:17pm Handy Haversack: Summon Mary Wing! It's 3OAK! (Also: currently down just over a dollar to Kate in heads-up poker.)
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Matt...and everyone. I turned 60...ain't that a bitch?!
	9:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Happy Birthday Uncle Michael....next year I'll get you another Stanley Cup for a gift.
	9:19pm Joe B: so no good reason for a Dec 29, 1969 release.
	9:19pm efd: I'm about 4 months behind you, UM.
	9:19pm CC: As R.D. Laing would say..."To be outside of the inside...and inside the outside!!!"...
	9:19pm Uncle Michael: It's a deal, Todd!
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: ground hog day gift idea?
	9:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: It was a brilliant plan that all led up to this moment in history.
	9:21pm Joe B: ha! entrapment from Terry Knight against efd!
	9:22pm CC: I'm about six years ahead of you but I can still climb trees!!!...:)
	9:23pm efd: whoops
	9:23pm steveL: UM/efd: I’m the kid. July 2021. Either way, it beats the alternative.
	9:23pm Uncle Michael: I hope there are three hours worth of this.
	9:23pm efd: i'm sure some of you are at your wits' end as it is, repeating one of these would have been the last straw
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: Obsessed?! I'm not obsessed!
	9:24pm Joe B: I was fine with hearing the South Amboy dukes again!
	9:24pm efd: @UM sadly only about another 10 minutes
	9:24pm Bootsie: Oh hey I think there might be a theme here
	9:25pm McGroovey: Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw.
	9:25pm efd: unless I really decide to torture you with the Pat Travers version . . . . . . from 2003
	9:25pm Uncle Michael: I missed the theme, but then, I'm locked down on six acres. I'm outside a lot.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: probably at least 2 other grand funk versions and several animals versions...+ the original blues hollar that the Lomax's stole credit for ...if you can find it.
	9:25pm Uncle Michael: Out go the lights, Evan!
	9:26pm efd: oh yeah, I could play the 17-minute Grand Funk live version!
	9:26pm Matt Fiveash: efd - Yikes!
	9:26pm CC: you got it going on Evan!!!
	9:26pm efd: @Matt I was gonna dedicate it to you when I back announced!
	9:27pm efd: mainly because it's on the Blues Bureau International label.
	9:27pm Matt Fiveash: Hahaha
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: And the great heads-up poker tournament of May 20 ends with me up 20 cents. Dedicating this win to you, Uncle Michael!
	9:27pm P-90: Mind blowing. Maybe even in a good way.
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: well i'm gettin' a beer then
	9:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think The Obsessed version is at the wrong speed.
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: 20 cent beer on me!
	9:29pm efd: @Todd that's because you're used to this version!
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: I'll sing this at Hoof N Mouth if we cover THIS version and RFD plays drums...and Scott allows it.
	9:30pm CC: Coel...you might as well... after all... history repeats itself!!!...:)
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: I was referring to the Obsessed version.
	9:30pm ultradamno: Looking at the discogs page, Grand Funk were really saturating the market at that time 2 albums in '69, two in '70 (one live, and not counting a split thing with Love with red album tracks), two more in '71
	9:30pm sufferwords: who knew? nice crating yo
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: EFD, not Rural Fire District
	9:31pm PJ: @UncleMichael: Evan Free Delivery
	9:32pm Matt Fiveash: President EFD and his Attorney General RFD
	9:32pm Uncle Michael: Mayberry EFD
	9:32pm Joe B: ha! yes!
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: haha
	9:34pm radioronan: Just needed to walk over and check playlist to confirm what is happening.. is really happening.
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: I can't wait to hear what we've been hearing! I feel like I'm on the outside looking in with this one!
	9:35pm CC: That's very responsible of you, Evan!!!
	9:35pm Aitch: Wondering whilst working, damn this track going for ages.........
	9:35pm efd: lol handy
	9:35pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding so great tonight!!!
	9:37pm PJ: The funny thing is I've never heard this song before, and it's pretty great (at least the last two versions - missed the first part of the set, sorry)
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: damned if they all weren't good -at least!
	9:39pm Handy Haversack: Maybe meant to be an em dash? It's a very rock and roll punctuation mark!
	9:40pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad I could be of help(?) Evan!
	9:40pm Joe B: love the greenhornes version - brian olive on lead vocal
	9:40pm P-90: Thank God the Amboy Dukes didn’t cover this
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: inside...
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: -looking out
	9:42pm Matt Fiveash: You don't have a version with misplaced parentheses somewhere in the title?
	9:42pm CC: Todd... I've been catching all of your shows one way or another since the beginning!!!
	9:43pm Handy Haversack: (in)side look(ing out)
	9:43pm Joe B: I suck. banning myself from the comments
	9:44pm ultradamno: I like the double dash In--side--Look--ing--Out
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: inside (looking) out
	9:44pm Matt Fiveash: Everyone knows the 70's really started in '68
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Say it ain't so, Joe!
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: in-side, looking o-u-t, out.
	9:45pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @CC: You are a brave man!
	9:45pm Andrew S: War Or Hands Of Time is my favourite Masters Apprentices song, has kind of a forlorn sound
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: (looking [inside] out)
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: Joe you need to get authorization before you can ban yourself, and i'm not authorizing it.
	9:47pm ultradamno: All drum colossi have to age out eventually
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: i thought the 70s started on dec.6, 1969
	9:47pm CC: music has everything to do with whatever mood your in, Joe... stop worrying so much!!!
	9:48pm Uncle Michael: Ths new Simple Minds single is great!
	9:48pm Chop Scott: Yikes! Pat Travers. Endured his opening sets throughout the Midwest for headliners as a teen. Likely waiting for Foghat.
	9:48pm McGroovey: I didn't even notice it was all the same song. No, really, I didn't. I just thought it was a bunch of songs with the same title. I guess I wasn't listening closely. Next theme: an hour of songs with the same title that aren't the same song?
	9:48pm Matt Fiveash: Thanks Evan. Thinking my wwb marathon premium next year is just gonna be a bootleg cd, with bad color xerox cover art and everything, of that 2003 pat travers album
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: hahaha Handy (@9.45)
	9:49pm McGroovey: For example, there are probably lots of songs named "You and I",
	9:49pm Handy Haversack: I'm glad it landed someplace, coela!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: there are several other songs named inside looking out
	9:50pm CC: thanks for turning this one up, Evan!!!
	9:50pm efd: @coel oh there are indeed plenty, believe me!
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: (inside-out looking?)
	9:51pm efd: @Matt I'll pledge for that!
	9:53pm ultradamno: There's more than a few Outside - Looking In songs too
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: _Inside Outlook!_ is going to be the name of my cable-news show.
	9:54pm medson: Hola efd and everyone
	9:57pm ultradamno: But how many versions of Mr. Limosine Driver? GFR performing it on Playboy After Dark with startling background dancing (I love how you can see them stop cold when they think they're off camera) www.youtube.com...
	9:57pm CC: Jeremy wanted me to tell you all that this music is going great with his Coors Light... my Miller Lite as well!!!..!..
	9:58pm Handy Haversack: New Beths album -- cool!
	10:04pm Bootsie: Wow I thought this was Belinda Carlisle
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: hey medson
	10:09pm Bootsie: Yaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: checking that out later ultra d Thanks -i've noticed that before on other dance shows ...the smiles with the on/off switches too!
	10:10pm efd: ha, knew you'd appreciate this, Bootsie!
	10:10pm CC: I'd like to get one of those zero turn lawn mowers and figure out how to work it...those look really great!!!
	10:11pm Bootsie: @efd of course!
	10:11pm medson: @Coelacanth how goes it?
	10:12pm Matt Fiveash: His girlfriend is from Andovah!
	10:13pm efd: Andovah!
	10:13pm CC: I mean you can go forwards and backwards...you don't ever have to stop the blade from turning... like heaven!!!
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: I hope EFD tells the Vigrass and Osborne story!
	10:14pm efd: I don't remember the details, besides it being used in War Of The Worlds!
	10:14pm dave wuz here: Andovah? Woobun!
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: This was originally a commercial jingle. When it was being repurposed for WOTW, they began with the premise of "we need to get someone that sounds like Justin Heyward to sing it..."
	10:16pm efd: ah right! I knew I could count on you.
	10:17pm patrick321: Really enjoying this!
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: Lego commercial: www.youtube.com...
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: good, medson -eating a giant salad for dinner -and a murphys stout! how's it with you?
	10:20pm javakid: i'd say habibi and jackie lynn are my 2 favorite releases this past shelter-in-place
	10:21pm javakid: and cold beat
	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Habibi was right before, right? February? (This is like Grand Funk redux!) Saw them 2/15 in Brooklyn. Sigh.
	10:23pm javakid: @Handy I'm sure you are right. They are new to me since when the days really started blurring together
	10:23pm medson: I’m good. Riding out the whole Covid thing. Waiting to hear when we go back to work etc.
	10:25pm coelacanth∅: (looking for new work myself)
	10:27pm Handy Haversack: @javakid: It was one of the last shows I saw before then, so it sticks out. Then Weeping Icon and Control Top ... then the FMU Polka Party. Then the car has been parked in front of the building for ten weeks. Every night a Friday. Every morning a Monday. Sorry, too, didn't mean to correct! Just clinging to a few points of certainty. It's an awesome album!
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: Sing me to my rest, EFD. I'm pushing the keyboard back. Night, all.
	10:29pm Handy Haversack: Night, UM! Happy birthday again!
	10:31pm Chop Scott: It sounds killer EFD--thanks Scott W. & The Skeletons!!
	10:31pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Handy.
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: 'night UM... Happy all days besides and including your birthday!
	10:32pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: What Scott said!
	10:41pm Handy Haversack: Ugh. So hard. Feel better, Dave the Spazz. Sending best wishes.
	10:54pm Motobro: EGD; Love me some 999... Fast Lane 1984ish, great live band.
	10:55pm Motobro: EFD...
	11:00pm Motobro: Hah, another great live act, Revillos, 1981 at Hitsville... They were unreal, visually and auditorily...
	11:00pm Motobro: Hah, another great live act, Revillos, 1981 at Hitsville... They were unreal, visually and auditorily...
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: It's Motobro after dark! How goes, Moto?
	11:02pm CC: The world is still out there...so far!!!
	11:04pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	11:05pm Motobro: Handy !! I’m actually a night owl, especially once I get a second wind. These tunes will do that to me. All good though.
	11:06pm efd: ha, shoutout to Marcel who played this song on his show last night, as I just discovered when "ineffekt" auto-filled in the playlist system and I went to see who'd played them before!
	11:06pm efd: two nights ago, I should say.
	11:07pm JakeGould: What do days mean anyway?
	11:07pm Motobro: EFD, love the board colors tonight.
	11:07pm efd: @Motobro agree, Revillos were incredible live!
	11:09pm efd: @Motobro thanks, this is the spring/until further notice look!
	11:09pm JakeGould: And here is the Bandcamp for Ineffekt: intercept.bandcamp.com...
	11:10pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe, welcome back!
	11:11pm efd: thanks Jake! You'll see my little icon there in the list of supporters!
	11:11pm JakeGould: @efd: Ha! We’re all little icons nowadays.
	11:13pm Motobro: Drummer had that Charlie Brown zig zag pattern on and glow in the dark sticks. The girls were spot on with dancing... crazy how long ago that was. Just found my Hitsville member card the other night, dated 1981. At first I didn’t recognize who’s picture was on it!
	11:16pm Tookie: enacting quarantine rights.
	11:18pm steveL: What a fucking cover! Such commitment!
	11:18pm Phillippe Bastille: hey there Handy
	11:19pm efd: one of my favorite covers of anything ever
	11:19pm steveL: This is making my night!
	11:21pm Motobro: A drummers song for sure.
	11:24pm Motobro: Was looking forward to seeing the Sea Monkeys this weekend. Guess we’ll have to wait; it’ll be worth it.
	11:25pm Andrew S: mets colors tonight
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: electric 6 also did what i think may be my favorite cover of a kraftwerk song. (the model)
	11:28pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Moto. Kate's been marking off each gig her band had booked. Let's hope 2021 is just wall-to-wall concerts!
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: @efd, you should get back at Marcel by playing River Cult. That'll learn him!
	11:30pm efd: ha, don't think that didn't cross my mind!
	11:30pm efd: @coel even more amazing is their cover of Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" that actually makes that song enjoyable to listen to.
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: seems unlikely Evan! but on that statement i will check it out!
	11:34pm BJ Skaught: bless you, my friend
	11:34pm Phillippe Bastille: Loving this
	11:34pm efd: oh! My pleasure, BJ! This is a killer tune!
	11:35pm JakeGould: @AndrewS: As well as Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue.
	11:35pm Motobro: God Handy I hope so. I’m ready to get out and see/hear & feel some live music. Jumping off for the night.. Good night all. Thank you EFD & Skelly crew.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: (i lost track of electric 6 at some point)
	11:36pm Handy Haversack: Night, Moto. This track is so good! Kate called out from bed to let me know she likes this one!
	11:38pm efd: @Jake @AndrewS THE COLOR OF THE YEAR
	11:38pm Joe B: ha, was just slotting this eyelids tune in for my show next week! #spoileralert
	11:38pm efd: ha, great minds Joe!
	11:39pm Handy Haversack: In that case, Joe, I'm just going to go ahead and request that you play this Eyelids tune called "1, 2, 3" on your show next week.
	11:48pm Phillippe Bastille: Great show, EFD! Time for this old man to sign off. Have a great week and stay safe! Bye everyone!
	11:48pm Aitch: Hoodoo Gurus cover EFD? Wasn't expecting that
	11:49pm efd: @Aitch just trying to keep you on your toes! @Phillippe goodnight, thanks for stopping by!
	11:50pm Aitch: Always listen EFD
	11:53pm Handy Haversack: Night, Phillippe! Echoing what you said, too -- great show, efd! Really a blast. I have half the Ethernet cable you have -- and double the gratitude that you're doing this! Thanks to you -- and to Skeleton Scott!
	11:53pm Kat in Chicago: I never could understand all the lyrics on Melanie's original, this is an interesting listen!
	11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, EFD. Have a nice Memorial Day.

	11:59pm efd: ha, thank you Scott!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 20, 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.

<-- 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!

May 20, 2020: live from Studio E(FD): social commentary or cheap gimmick?

	9:07pm Uncle Michael: Evan, you're still my captain.
	9:07pm Hackensack Slim: Discogs says Dec 29 !969. So whoever's wrong didn't miss by much.
	9:08pm Joe B: who the hell releases a record on dec. 29!
	9:09pm efd: With the holidays it probably didn't actually hit stores until January. :D
	9:09pm JakeGould: Ow! A rare EFD technical error.
	9:09pm steveL: I’d support this technicality.
	9:09pm Joe B: sorry I brought it up! feel free to ban me from the comments board

	9:10pm ultradamno: @Joe Even weirder, that was apparently a Monday www.onthisday.com...
	9:10pm Joe B: Matt mine is Oct 1 so you can start shopping early
	9:11pm CC: This Record goes great with Savoy Brown outside looking in!!!
	9:11pm steveL: Think they’re done? Great finish!
	9:11pm Matt Fiveash: Joe- that one I remember because it's also my Mom's birthday!
	9:11pm McGroovey: Or Outside/Inside the Tubes (or was that Inside/Outside?) OK, maybe not as well.
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: the "live album" version goes on longer yet, and every minute is bliss.
	9:12pm Joe B: @Matt - and walter matthau, though will now be known as the anniversary of the Piggies/Barrence/Elvis at Monty Hall
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: (never heard this one)
	9:13pm Matt Fiveash: Joe- headed out to Costco right now to start the gift shopping process
	9:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, funk folk. Happy birthday, UM. Also birthdays of station personalities George from Wake 'n' Bake and Psychopathic Jim Fields.
	9:14pm Joe B: I heard toilet paper is a hot item this year!
	9:14pm Rob W: The Mops had a great theme song during their early days, during Japan's "Group Sounds" era - it was called "I'm Just a Mops"!
	9:15pm Matt Fiveash: Kinda surprised in retrospect that there wasn't a Walter Matthau angle to that show at Monty Hall!
	9:15pm Joe B: re Dec 29 Grand Funk - was that the year they had the huge Times Square billboard? maybe they wanted it out before new year's eve for that reason.
	9:15pm Matt Fiveash: That was a fun night, as I sort of remember
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: @Joe B: Also my dad's bday. He'd turn 104 this year!
	9:16pm Joe B: @Matt - my choices were commandeering a PATH train car a la Pelham 1-2-3 or pitching some drunken batting practice
	9:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I'm A Mop!
	9:17pm Joe B: yeah! mad daddys!
	9:17pm ultradamno: The billboard was for Closer To Home, from the looks of it www.thegearpage.net...
	9:17pm Handy Haversack: Summon Mary Wing! It's 3OAK! (Also: currently down just over a dollar to Kate in heads-up poker.)
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Matt...and everyone. I turned 60...ain't that a bitch?!
	9:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Happy Birthday Uncle Michael....next year I'll get you another Stanley Cup for a gift.
	9:19pm Joe B: so no good reason for a Dec 29, 1969 release.
	9:19pm efd: I'm about 4 months behind you, UM.
	9:19pm CC: As R.D. Laing would say..."To be outside of the inside...and inside the outside!!!"...
	9:19pm Uncle Michael: It's a deal, Todd!
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: ground hog day gift idea?
	9:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: It was a brilliant plan that all led up to this moment in history.
	9:21pm Joe B: ha! entrapment from Terry Knight against efd!
	9:22pm CC: I'm about six years ahead of you but I can still climb trees!!!...:)
	9:23pm efd: whoops
	9:23pm steveL: UM/efd: I’m the kid. July 2021. Either way, it beats the alternative.
	9:23pm Uncle Michael: I hope there are three hours worth of this.
	9:23pm efd: i'm sure some of you are at your wits' end as it is, repeating one of these would have been the last straw
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: Obsessed?! I'm not obsessed!
	9:24pm Joe B: I was fine with hearing the South Amboy dukes again!
	9:24pm efd: @UM sadly only about another 10 minutes
	9:24pm Bootsie: Oh hey I think there might be a theme here
	9:25pm McGroovey: Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw. Wits' end? Naw.
	9:25pm efd: unless I really decide to torture you with the Pat Travers version . . . . . . from 2003
	9:25pm Uncle Michael: I missed the theme, but then, I'm locked down on six acres. I'm outside a lot.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: probably at least 2 other grand funk versions and several animals versions...+ the original blues hollar that the Lomax's stole credit for ...if you can find it.
	9:25pm Uncle Michael: Out go the lights, Evan!
	9:26pm efd: oh yeah, I could play the 17-minute Grand Funk live version!
	9:26pm Matt Fiveash: efd - Yikes!
	9:26pm CC: you got it going on Evan!!!
	9:26pm efd: @Matt I was gonna dedicate it to you when I back announced!
	9:27pm efd: mainly because it's on the Blues Bureau International label.
	9:27pm Matt Fiveash: Hahaha
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: And the great heads-up poker tournament of May 20 ends with me up 20 cents. Dedicating this win to you, Uncle Michael!
	9:27pm P-90: Mind blowing. Maybe even in a good way.
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: well i'm gettin' a beer then
	9:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think The Obsessed version is at the wrong speed.
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: 20 cent beer on me!
	9:29pm efd: @Todd that's because you're used to this version!
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: I'll sing this at Hoof N Mouth if we cover THIS version and RFD plays drums...and Scott allows it.
	9:30pm CC: Coel...you might as well... after all... history repeats itself!!!...:)
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: I was referring to the Obsessed version.
	9:30pm ultradamno: Looking at the discogs page, Grand Funk were really saturating the market at that time 2 albums in '69, two in '70 (one live, and not counting a split thing with Love with red album tracks), two more in '71
	9:30pm sufferwords: who knew? nice crating yo
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: EFD, not Rural Fire District
	9:31pm PJ: @UncleMichael: Evan Free Delivery
	9:32pm Matt Fiveash: President EFD and his Attorney General RFD
	9:32pm Uncle Michael: Mayberry EFD
	9:32pm Joe B: ha! yes!
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: haha
	9:34pm radioronan: Just needed to walk over and check playlist to confirm what is happening.. is really happening.
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: I can't wait to hear what we've been hearing! I feel like I'm on the outside looking in with this one!
	9:35pm CC: That's very responsible of you, Evan!!!
	9:35pm Aitch: Wondering whilst working, damn this track going for ages.........
	9:35pm efd: lol handy
	9:35pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding so great tonight!!!
	9:37pm PJ: The funny thing is I've never heard this song before, and it's pretty great (at least the last two versions - missed the first part of the set, sorry)
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: damned if they all weren't good -at least!
	9:39pm Handy Haversack: Maybe meant to be an em dash? It's a very rock and roll punctuation mark!
	9:40pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad I could be of help(?) Evan!
	9:40pm Joe B: love the greenhornes version - brian olive on lead vocal
	9:40pm P-90: Thank God the Amboy Dukes didn’t cover this
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: inside...
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: -looking out
	9:42pm Matt Fiveash: You don't have a version with misplaced parentheses somewhere in the title?
	9:42pm CC: Todd... I've been catching all of your shows one way or another since the beginning!!!
	9:43pm Handy Haversack: (in)side look(ing out)
	9:43pm Joe B: I suck. banning myself from the comments
	9:44pm ultradamno: I like the double dash In--side--Look--ing--Out
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: inside (looking) out
	9:44pm Matt Fiveash: Everyone knows the 70's really started in '68
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Say it ain't so, Joe!
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: in-side, looking o-u-t, out.
	9:45pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @CC: You are a brave man!
	9:45pm Andrew S: War Or Hands Of Time is my favourite Masters Apprentices song, has kind of a forlorn sound
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: (looking [inside] out)
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: Joe you need to get authorization before you can ban yourself, and i'm not authorizing it.
	9:47pm ultradamno: All drum colossi have to age out eventually
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: i thought the 70s started on dec.6, 1969
	9:47pm CC: music has everything to do with whatever mood your in, Joe... stop worrying so much!!!
	9:48pm Uncle Michael: Ths new Simple Minds single is great!
	9:48pm Chop Scott: Yikes! Pat Travers. Endured his opening sets throughout the Midwest for headliners as a teen. Likely waiting for Foghat.
	9:48pm McGroovey: I didn't even notice it was all the same song. No, really, I didn't. I just thought it was a bunch of songs with the same title. I guess I wasn't listening closely. Next theme: an hour of songs with the same title that aren't the same song?
	9:48pm Matt Fiveash: Thanks Evan. Thinking my wwb marathon premium next year is just gonna be a bootleg cd, with bad color xerox cover art and everything, of that 2003 pat travers album
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: hahaha Handy (@9.45)
	9:49pm McGroovey: For example, there are probably lots of songs named "You and I",
	9:49pm Handy Haversack: I'm glad it landed someplace, coela!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: there are several other songs named inside looking out
	9:50pm CC: thanks for turning this one up, Evan!!!
	9:50pm efd: @coel oh there are indeed plenty, believe me!
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: (inside-out looking?)
	9:51pm efd: @Matt I'll pledge for that!
	9:53pm ultradamno: There's more than a few Outside - Looking In songs too
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: _Inside Outlook!_ is going to be the name of my cable-news show.
	9:54pm medson: Hola efd and everyone
	9:57pm ultradamno: But how many versions of Mr. Limosine Driver? GFR performing it on Playboy After Dark with startling background dancing (I love how you can see them stop cold when they think they're off camera) www.youtube.com...
	9:57pm CC: Jeremy wanted me to tell you all that this music is going great with his Coors Light... my Miller Lite as well!!!..!..
	9:58pm Handy Haversack: New Beths album -- cool!
	10:04pm Bootsie: Wow I thought this was Belinda Carlisle
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: hey medson
	10:09pm Bootsie: Yaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: checking that out later ultra d Thanks -i've noticed that before on other dance shows ...the smiles with the on/off switches too!
	10:10pm efd: ha, knew you'd appreciate this, Bootsie!
	10:10pm CC: I'd like to get one of those zero turn lawn mowers and figure out how to work it...those look really great!!!
	10:11pm Bootsie: @efd of course!
	10:11pm medson: @Coelacanth how goes it?
	10:12pm Matt Fiveash: His girlfriend is from Andovah!
	10:13pm efd: Andovah!
	10:13pm CC: I mean you can go forwards and backwards...you don't ever have to stop the blade from turning... like heaven!!!
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: I hope EFD tells the Vigrass and Osborne story!
	10:14pm efd: I don't remember the details, besides it being used in War Of The Worlds!
	10:14pm dave wuz here: Andovah? Woobun!
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: This was originally a commercial jingle. When it was being repurposed for WOTW, they began with the premise of "we need to get someone that sounds like Justin Heyward to sing it..."
	10:16pm efd: ah right! I knew I could count on you.
	10:17pm patrick321: Really enjoying this!
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: Lego commercial: www.youtube.com...
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: good, medson -eating a giant salad for dinner -and a murphys stout! how's it with you?
	10:20pm javakid: i'd say habibi and jackie lynn are my 2 favorite releases this past shelter-in-place
	10:21pm javakid: and cold beat
	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Habibi was right before, right? February? (This is like Grand Funk redux!) Saw them 2/15 in Brooklyn. Sigh.
	10:23pm javakid: @Handy I'm sure you are right. They are new to me since when the days really started blurring together
	10:23pm medson: I’m good. Riding out the whole Covid thing. Waiting to hear when we go back to work etc.
	10:25pm coelacanth∅: (looking for new work myself)
	10:27pm Handy Haversack: @javakid: It was one of the last shows I saw before then, so it sticks out. Then Weeping Icon and Control Top ... then the FMU Polka Party. Then the car has been parked in front of the building for ten weeks. Every night a Friday. Every morning a Monday. Sorry, too, didn't mean to correct! Just clinging to a few points of certainty. It's an awesome album!
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: Sing me to my rest, EFD. I'm pushing the keyboard back. Night, all.
	10:29pm Handy Haversack: Night, UM! Happy birthday again!
	10:31pm Chop Scott: It sounds killer EFD--thanks Scott W. & The Skeletons!!
	10:31pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Handy.
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: 'night UM... Happy all days besides and including your birthday!
	10:32pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: What Scott said!
	10:41pm Handy Haversack: Ugh. So hard. Feel better, Dave the Spazz. Sending best wishes.
	10:54pm Motobro: EGD; Love me some 999... Fast Lane 1984ish, great live band.
	10:55pm Motobro: EFD...
	11:00pm Motobro: Hah, another great live act, Revillos, 1981 at Hitsville... They were unreal, visually and auditorily...
	11:00pm Motobro: Hah, another great live act, Revillos, 1981 at Hitsville... They were unreal, visually and auditorily...
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: It's Motobro after dark! How goes, Moto?
	11:02pm CC: The world is still out there...so far!!!
	11:04pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	11:05pm Motobro: Handy !! I’m actually a night owl, especially once I get a second wind. These tunes will do that to me. All good though.
	11:06pm efd: ha, shoutout to Marcel who played this song on his show last night, as I just discovered when "ineffekt" auto-filled in the playlist system and I went to see who'd played them before!
	11:06pm efd: two nights ago, I should say.
	11:07pm JakeGould: What do days mean anyway?
	11:07pm Motobro: EFD, love the board colors tonight.
	11:07pm efd: @Motobro agree, Revillos were incredible live!
	11:09pm efd: @Motobro thanks, this is the spring/until further notice look!
	11:09pm JakeGould: And here is the Bandcamp for Ineffekt: intercept.bandcamp.com...
	11:10pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe, welcome back!
	11:11pm efd: thanks Jake! You'll see my little icon there in the list of supporters!
	11:11pm JakeGould: @efd: Ha! We’re all little icons nowadays.
	11:13pm Motobro: Drummer had that Charlie Brown zig zag pattern on and glow in the dark sticks. The girls were spot on with dancing... crazy how long ago that was. Just found my Hitsville member card the other night, dated 1981. At first I didn’t recognize who’s picture was on it!
	11:16pm Tookie: enacting quarantine rights.
	11:18pm steveL: What a fucking cover! Such commitment!
	11:18pm Phillippe Bastille: hey there Handy
	11:19pm efd: one of my favorite covers of anything ever
	11:19pm steveL: This is making my night!
	11:21pm Motobro: A drummers song for sure.
	11:24pm Motobro: Was looking forward to seeing the Sea Monkeys this weekend. Guess we’ll have to wait; it’ll be worth it.
	11:25pm Andrew S: mets colors tonight
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: electric 6 also did what i think may be my favorite cover of a kraftwerk song. (the model)
	11:28pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Moto. Kate's been marking off each gig her band had booked. Let's hope 2021 is just wall-to-wall concerts!
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: @efd, you should get back at Marcel by playing River Cult. That'll learn him!
	11:30pm efd: ha, don't think that didn't cross my mind!
	11:30pm efd: @coel even more amazing is their cover of Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" that actually makes that song enjoyable to listen to.
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: seems unlikely Evan! but on that statement i will check it out!
	11:34pm BJ Skaught: bless you, my friend
	11:34pm Phillippe Bastille: Loving this
	11:34pm efd: oh! My pleasure, BJ! This is a killer tune!
	11:35pm JakeGould: @AndrewS: As well as Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue.
	11:35pm Motobro: God Handy I hope so. I’m ready to get out and see/hear & feel some live music. Jumping off for the night.. Good night all. Thank you EFD & Skelly crew.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: (i lost track of electric 6 at some point)
	11:36pm Handy Haversack: Night, Moto. This track is so good! Kate called out from bed to let me know she likes this one!
	11:38pm efd: @Jake @AndrewS THE COLOR OF THE YEAR
	11:38pm Joe B: ha, was just slotting this eyelids tune in for my show next week! #spoileralert
	11:38pm efd: ha, great minds Joe!
	11:39pm Handy Haversack: In that case, Joe, I'm just going to go ahead and request that you play this Eyelids tune called "1, 2, 3" on your show next week.
	11:48pm Phillippe Bastille: Great show, EFD! Time for this old man to sign off. Have a great week and stay safe! Bye everyone!
	11:48pm Aitch: Hoodoo Gurus cover EFD? Wasn't expecting that
	11:49pm efd: @Aitch just trying to keep you on your toes! @Phillippe goodnight, thanks for stopping by!
	11:50pm Aitch: Always listen EFD
	11:53pm Handy Haversack: Night, Phillippe! Echoing what you said, too -- great show, efd! Really a blast. I have half the Ethernet cable you have -- and double the gratitude that you're doing this! Thanks to you -- and to Skeleton Scott!
	11:53pm Kat in Chicago: I never could understand all the lyrics on Melanie's original, this is an interesting listen!
	11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, EFD. Have a nice Memorial Day.
