	9:04pm steveo: Hello, Evan. I heard your name on the radio today.
	9:05pm Handy Haversack: Dinnae fash, Mariano. Scots wha hae!
	9:05pm Scott Williams: I don't believe I've ever heard a more prominent kick drum!
	9:06pm van chinski: Already a great show!
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: I kinda forgot about that Scars track. I wore my Mutant Pop record out!
	9:07pm Steve from Dunwoody: Digging this semi-incoherency.
	9:07pm Gaylord Fields: Hoots mon! I see we're visiting Scotland in honor of Eugene Reynolds!
	9:08pm BJ Skaught: Edwyn Collins is one of the very few singers I can muster a reasonable imitation of. Also: Orange Juice ruled

	9:09pm efd: right ye are, Gaylaird MacFields!
	9:09pm BLCKDGRD: Thanks much for upcoming Revillos/Rezillos song and ER interview!
	9:09pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: Och aye!
	9:10pm Handy Haversack: I could kilt up, but it's hot in here. That's a LOT of wool. Maybe I'll get the dirk down. Doon. Hoots!
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Guessing that we are NOT getting any Marillion? Battlefield Band?
	9:11pm Marley P. Dogg: Handy - how about you just bust out the bagpipes instead
	9:11pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan. Great start tonight. Really looking forward to the Eugene interview. @Mariano This guy has uploaded some great Scottish post-punk material: m.youtube.com...
	9:12pm JakeGould: I’m looking forward to the EFD moment of sublime remote DJing technical amazement.
	9:13pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Marley, I was specifically forbidden from getting "starter" pipes. Our dog's name is Bagpipe, though. Sometimes I squeeze him to make him sing! Ceci n'est pas une bagpipe.
	9:14pm ultradamno: Sounding not unlike Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias
	9:14pm ultradamno: ...at least on the Snuff Rock ep
	9:14pm spodiodi: EFD!
	9:15pm Chop Scott: EFD! The show is sounding killer!
	9:15pm Eddy in Australia: That kick drum created a lot of angst amongst the members of Orange Juice. Check out the Postcard Records book for more.
	9:16pm medson: Hola efd and everyone. Show sounds great.
	9:19pm Handy Haversack: Damn, this set. If Nate hadn't Burned It Down last night, I'd be seriously worried about the fire codes! DAMN!
	9:19pm ultradamno: This Valves single holds a special place in my heart, the a-side is great too.
	9:20pm Power Papi: This is an AMAZING opening set!!!!
	9:20pm ultradamno: Well, Nate being a re-run gave time for additional fireproofing
	9:23pm efd: hey everyone! Great to have you all hear, very much appreciate the early enthusiasm for the show! Eugene Reynolds interview coming up shortly!
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: OH YEAH!
	9:26pm van chinski: So, so good.
	9:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: Faye Fife!
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: Faye's voice on Glad All Over just melts me.
	9:29pm ultradamno: I've always posited that East Bay Ray picked up a lot from Jo Callis off these records.
	9:31pm On the Yazoo: I'm Here!!! Hey Everyone.
	9:32pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Scott!
	9:32pm Rich in Washington: It's night mode somewhere!
	9:33pm mariano: Skeleton Krewe! Skeleton Krewe!
	9:34pm BH: There's a setting that turns the screen black&white and it was not pleasant to accidentally find that setting. Not a huge fan of the Win10 dark mode because I don't like it on the file explorer
	9:35pm CC: Hi Evan...and all... I'm taking a poll.. I wonder why there can't be a message board on every stream 24/7 regardless of whether they have a live DJ or not???
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: Glad there's no limit on clicky-stars per show.
	9:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: Midge Ure's mustache!
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: "You might even get a few hours sleep at the Celtic Hotel. / If you don't laugh it will make you weep, at the Celtic Hotel!"
	9:38pm Steve from Dunwoody: Speaking of which, where were you?
	9:40pm steveL: Machine-gun snare
	9:40pm Motobro: Yeah Yeah Yeh itz the Revillos!!!!!
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Moto! Always glad for Motobro -- Nights Edition!
	9:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Ewan "Funk" Davidson: "Eugene Reynolds" may be my favorite rock 'n' roll pseudonym, because it's more like an alias than a stage name.
	9:43pm Aitch: Was he careful with his axe?
	9:44pm efd: Exactly!! Such a funny name change to make. I thought about bringing that up, but (spoiler) ultimately did not.
	9:44pm mariano: Gaylord: what do you think of "Phil Ramone"? Does it stand out a bit too much?
	9:46pm ultradamno: www.cherryred.co.uk... www.cherryred.co.uk...
	9:47pm efd: Fun fact: Eugene also came up with the label name DinDisc!
	9:50pm Motobro: HANDY !!! How are you this evening?
	9:50pm CC: Eugene seems like a very thoughtful bloke!!!
	9:53pm van chinski: Had to go nerd and look up the Shadow comic thing. It's the 70's DC Comics series, had no idea. You learn something new every day. And forget ten other things.
	9:54pm efd: @van that was all news to me when I read it in the booklet that comes with the box set! There's an image of the cover of the comic in there too, that was a little mind-blowing!
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: Phil Ramone is no Paul Ramon, I'll say that much.
	9:56pm van chinski: @efd Man I want this boxed set. Ugh!
	9:56pm Eddy in Australia: Never realised Eugene is English (and a bit posh), not Scottish.
	9:56pm 100 Foot Ethernet Cable: Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good.
	9:56pm ultradamno: I love that drum break crack crack crack crack!
	9:57pm Mark in Toronto: My favourite Revillos song, esp at the end when the bike goes off the end of the dock into the water.
	9:57pm mariano: Oh man, Gaylord, I guess I'm having a brain malfunction, could've sworn Phil Ramone was Paul McCartney's pseudonym but obviously this skull full of mush mixed it all up!
	9:57pm Uncle Michael: How long is MC 900 Foot Jesus' ethernet cable?
	9:58pm Rich in Washington: 899.5 ft! Dontcha HATE when that happens?
	9:59pm ultradamno: My neighbor was just revving up his bike too. Less desired.
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Doing fine, Moto! Enjoying the show over a beer in the yard. So good, efd!
	10:00pm CC: I have often wondered if anybody has ever truly defined what Punk is???
	10:01pm ultradamno: Prisoners have.
	10:02pm CC: Hahaha...ultra dude!!!
	10:03pm JakeGould: Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha!
	10:03pm ultradamno: 1960s’ Teen Tragedy Songs — Twinkle’s Terry v Leader Of The Pack by The Shangri-Las maryrizza.com...
	10:04pm P-90: As Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously said: “I can’t define it, but I know it when I see (or hear) it”
	10:04pm JakeGould: @P-90: That worked out well.
	10:05pm van chinski: Rez/Revillos always made a great soundtrack for reading 2000 AD/Judge Dredd comics back in the 80s. Assumed the song was a ref to the magazine but...when you assume...
	10:05pm P-90: Yes, especially for Malcom McLaren
	10:06pm Barkevious Shabazz: Fifi and Trixie are so hot.
	10:06pm CC: Jake...please try to control your self!!!...heeheehee!!!
	10:06pm P-90: and Vivienne Westwood of course
	10:07pm Motobro: Rev Up... The best !
	10:09pm efd: I was so excited when he told that story!
	10:10pm Michael in Montclair: No wonder ‘Rev Up’ sounds so familiar. Sixteen Candles!
	10:11pm mariano: "Marrying a punk, my lord, is pressing to death, whipping, and hanging."
	10:11pm CC: some people are given all the studio time they need?!?!
	10:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings efd and all
	10:16pm CC: kind of like a Shanghai Noodle Factory?!?
	10:22pm CC: I always liked the Beatles song... You Can't Do That!!!
	10:24pm Handy Haversack: Hey, coela! Were you running through sticky-toffee treacle? Because that sounds like a sticky situation.
	10:25pm mariano: Sticky situation? Sounds like Slaughter and the Dogs doing a toffee commercial.
	10:25pm ToTetsu: I don't think my parents had any revillos LPs.. I would remember this
	10:26pm Motobro: Snatzmobile, or snowmobile?
	10:26pm JakeGould: @ToTetsu: Your parents are lame.
	10:26pm ultradamno: Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha!
	10:27pm van chinski: I so wish I had seen them live. Gah.
	10:27pm efd: ohhh they were AMAZING live!!
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: haha! hey ultra d are you trying to look like an asshole?!
	10:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: Faye Fife has the pipes.
	10:28pm van chinski: Can only imagine.
	10:28pm CC: I suppose it's kind of like a niche thing?!?
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy, mariano, ultra...
	10:28pm ultradamno: @Coel Fair point.
	10:29pm mariano: What's up coela!
	10:30pm Steve from Dunwoody: From Atlanta: Ice cold!
	10:30pm JakeGould: Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk!
	10:31pm van chinski: It's like a happy assault.
	10:31pm ultradamno: It's a bad guy reaction. Speaking of which, Eugene's vocal break in that song is up there with David Thomas in Life Stinks for best non-verbal interjection.
	10:31pm CC: before the virus, cover bands were doing really well!!!
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: ...Handy as far as i know. no on the treacle; though my nephew was making meringue and macaroons. said there was 1.5# of sugar involved.
	10:32pm Steve from Dunwoody: @vanc Then i am surrendering to it!
	10:32pm JakeGould: Lots of the best punk/new wave bands are proud to show off their classic pop rock roots.
	10:33pm ToTetsu: @JakeGould I was lucky enough to be raised on brain eno and kraftwerk
	10:33pm P-90: WNYU!
	10:33pm Handy Haversack: Ha, that's great, efd!
	10:34pm Barkevious Shabazz: Great station id.
	10:35pm Bri The Beatnik: Love these covers!
	10:35pm Motobro: 1981 Hitsville, so glad I went to see them. Visually unreal. Drummer had glow in the dark drum sticks and wasn’t bashful about flipping and twirling them. Choreography was spot on, and the music, well you can hear that for yourself.
	10:35pm van chinski: I went to NYU. And never listened to WNYU. Because I was a sucky chump.
	10:36pm Motobro: I’ll listen to the whole album.
	10:36pm Bri The Beatnik: @ToTetsu God bless your parents for raising you on them!
	10:36pm JakeGould: What building was WNYU in? Was it near the Triangle Shirtwaist factory site?
	10:37pm Steve from Dunwoody: Warriors, come out and play!
	10:38pm Steve from Dunwoody: Worry? As you like.
	10:39pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: @ToTetsu “brain eno” is a great typo
	10:39pm Handy Haversack: Worriers! Stay in to plaaaa-aaaay!
	10:39pm efd: @jake it bounced all around the campus. The building it was in when I was there isn't even there anymore; the Loeb Student Center at 566 LaGuardia Place on the corner of Washington Square South.
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: Lizzie, it makes sense!
	10:40pm Bri The Beatnik: Glad to hear the 80s college rock sound is still alive!
	10:40pm CC: Those who ain't afraid...come out and test Death!!!
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: (and hi!)
	10:41pm ultradamno: @handy If the gang in that movie were The Worriers they would have seen it coming. "I just know this big gathering is going to go badly for us..."
	10:41pm ultradamno: Oh, and hiya coel.
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: Certainly Tom G. Waites would have bailed before the end came, @ultradamno.
	10:45pm CC: I'm staying in for a while???
	10:46pm Jim H: What a great song! Melenas.
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: weird -never heard this with vocals in it
	10:47pm Handy Haversack: EFD, this show is absolutely bringing it. I don't think there's a song yet I haven't clicky-starred. Gary!
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: they should've put this version on the record in my opinion
	10:48pm van chinski: This show has been, as the kids don't say, a corker.
	10:48pm JakeGould: @EFD: Ahhh! Thanks for that. I remember that building from my teen years going to “The Village” (mainly West 8th Street) and going to Harry’s lunch counter on Greene and Washington.
	10:49pm ultradamno: The kids should bring that back though.
	10:49pm lis-boner pasc: Corktastic indeed — morning / evening fam! Lisbon glowing orange again, must be phosphorous or something. Thanks Evan and Skels!
	10:50pm van chinski: I had no idea the Loeb Student Center was no more. Oh, man, fond memories. I first heard Planet Rock on the jukebox in the rec room.
	10:50pm efd: Olá @pasc! I visited Lisbon around this time five years ago... lovely city!
	10:51pm van chinski: Loving this.
	10:52pm efd: @van even before they knocked down Loeb the radio station had moved to one of the SOA buildings on Broadway... currently it's in the basement of the Weinstein dorm, as far as I know. (My home for most of my time at NYU)
	10:54pm CC: Evan...the older you get...the more you should worry about catching even a common cold!!!...
	10:55pm JakeGould: The new place is called the Kimmel Center or something like that.
	10:55pm van chinski: @efd I commuted in from my borough, really wanted to live in the dorms and be "in" Manhattan while attending (82-86).
	10:57pm efd: @van you were certainly in the majority, not that that's any consolation. You were there right after me.
	10:57pm CC: When all the old people are gone...we should be very afraid!!!...:)
	11:00pm Gaylord Fields: @van chinski: I was also an envious NYU commuting student (I was there the same time as efd). And while I didn't know him, except as a radio voice, he was friends with many of my friends. Also, Loeb (R.I.P) was my favorite place to sleep between (or, occasionally, instead of) classes.
	11:04pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and funksters. 100 degrees here. Total party.
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: 100! Dag, Carmichael. It was like 75 here today and I was getting all in a twist about how to handle it when things actually get hot. You hit the pool? I have been jonesing for a swim!
	11:06pm efd: yeowch, 100 is brutal!
	11:08pm ultradamno: I think it got into the 80s here but, not spin off into cliche, it was the over the top humidity....
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: See, once papa assured Henry he wouldn't leave him, the kid turned out OK!
	11:10pm steveL: Gee, I like Juniper.
	11:12pm CC: I should have known I wouldn't make it up past 10:30!!!
	11:15pm JakeGould: @Gaylord: “…was my favorite place to sleep between (or, occasionally, instead of) classes.” Wooo! Naps!
	11:17pm Carmichael: To use the cliche, it actually is a dry heat. But hot is hot. I finished lugging junk to the curb for the annual pickup. Into the pool.
	11:18pm Michael Shelley: THANKS EFD! Video made on our kitchen table!
	11:18pm Motobro: Good night all. Another Wednesday day in the books. Great interview. Thank you Evan and Skelly crew. Glow in the dark drum sticks!
	11:18pm spodiodi: yuji toriyama <-
	11:19pm efd: Thanks for listening Moto!
	11:19pm efd: Michael, if the basement is Studio B- does that make the kitchen Studio B?
	11:19pm Handy Haversack: Good night, Moto! Hope to see you abouts in the a.m.!
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: This song just fits every situation I hear it in. So smooth -- and heavy.
	11:20pm Michael Shelley: Studio K?
	11:21pm efd: I'll allow it.
	11:22pm JakeGould: Some “Steely Dan” vibes with this “A Girl Called Eddy.”
	11:27pm Carmichael: Yuji’s guitar line sounds so familiar. Every time you play this, I think of a particular artist. I need to research.
	11:27pm mariano: Jake: was so tempted to write "They call Alabama the Crimson Tide..."
	11:28pm Carmichael: My new band will be called Dripping and Happy.
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: i like the sparseness of this particular Juniper track
	11:30pm mariano: Damn, look at the folks who played on Juniper's album! "instrumentally, the Shelley family got an assist from the illustrious likes of Marshall Crenshaw, Dennis Diken (Smithereens), Chris Geddes (Belle & Sebastian), Jay Gonzalez (Drive By Truckers), Steve Goulding (Mekons, Nick Lowe), Ira Kaplan (Yo La Tengo), Chris Collingwood (Fountains of Wayne), Mark Spencer (Son Volt), Greg Townson (Los Straitjackets), and more."
	11:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and funk fans.
	11:32pm van chinski: @Gaylord - Yes! I would crash at Loeb all the time. And in Philosophy class.
	11:32pm Stevel: I don't think I've ever heard of The Checkmates. How is that possible? I have failed the Fort, or it has failed me.
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: that statement makes me wanna stout
	11:36pm Carmichael: Let’s pour a nice Guinness Shout.
	11:36pm Michael Shelley: If you're interested in a weird 1974 no budget "movie" starring The Checkmates try this youtu.be... I believe it may be in a genre all to itself: Blaxploitation-ploitation.
	11:38pm Joe B: greetings efd and everyone!
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: Carm -got murphy's on hand; but i'm waiting 'till friday
	11:38pm Stevel: Michael: I'll tune in for sure. Lived in Fort Wayne since 1988 or so, working 19 years as a photojournalist. Never heard of them, although there was a collection of jazz (Black?) clubs that have avoided any recorded history that I have found.
	11:38pm BH: Mungo Jerry checking in to declare it's summertime
	11:39pm Carmichael: I swear Jerry says “put a bottle in your butt, it will soon be summertime.”
	11:39pm Chop Scott: Happy to see you in the room idea Joe B.!
	11:39pm ?: I heard this in the end of the last song
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: Life's for living yeah that's our philosophy
	11:39pm mariano: I just discovered a few days ago that Mugo Jerry's still at it, has a YouTube channel and he looks almost the same as he did in the 70s.
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Joe B, Ken from HP!
	11:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Joe, Michael, SteveL, HP Ken, Handy, Gaylord, Medson Man, Scott, all!
	11:42pm steveL: Hey Jack! Just in time for the French horns!
	11:43pm Gaylord Fields: @van chinski: Film class was always good for 40 winks when I already saw the movie. @Hoboken Jack: Hi!
	11:44pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Man, I don't want this show to end. It's really been the wasp's nipples, efd! Time, apparently, keeps proving to be linear, despite subjective experience, so I guess this clock thing is going to make a difference. I guess what I'm saying is: I have had a very nice time.
	11:45pm efd: Thanks Handy! Hi Jack and Joe, and everyone else I haven't said hi to directly! (Which, admittedly, is most of you.)
	11:46pm Chop Scott: Sparks!!
	11:47pm van chinski: @Gaylord - ha ha, I was in Tisch, slept through a few silents. I still mean to finish watching Pandora's Box.
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well...distractions and commitments have kept me away. Luckily, there were a lot of laughs involved, I hope that can be said for everyone! Hey, efd!
	11:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, Jack. I hope all is well.
	11:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Sparks!
	11:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Damn, I'm late. Who did Jake yell at?
	11:49pm Scott Williams: YOU AND TROUBLE, ALWAYS MAKING TYPOGRAPHIC TROUBLE
	11:50pm Joe B: @ scptt - ha! yes!
	11:50pm Handy Haversack: "Sainthood is not in what? In WHAT?!" Hey, Mr. P! I have definitely been laughed at tonight, so all is well. These cats. They think they're so cool.
	11:50pm Scott Williams: Mr. Pumpy ^^ hahahaaaa
	11:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Wasp's nipples! ha! Wait...WASP's nipples? That's a whole other sphere of paraffin...
	11:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! Got my Troika! on last night. Good times.
	11:53pm Joe B: best EP title of the year
	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Zats ... Hi, Handy. Just noticed your greeting.
	11:54pm Mr. Pumpy: mixeD cAse can geT bENt
	11:54pm JakeGould: Thanks EFD!
	11:54pm Handy Haversack: Oh, cool! The game Jarrett was talking about? That's so great! It's a fun system. I spent my "day off" on Monday reading Electric Bastionland in the yard. That would be a super fun one to find time to run. Not for nothing, efd, but I would be a very sad Sack if I ever did anything that made Scott Williams even slightly upset! Also: Thanks! And thanks, Skeleton Skott!
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: (oh i hope i don't have nightmares about wasp's nipples) hey Pumpy!
	11:55pm JakeGould: @ToTetsu: Very cool.
	11:56pm Gaylord Fields: "If you have a drink, don't have a drive. If you have a drive, don't have a drink. WFMU Cares."
	11:56pm JakeGould: @MrPumpy: Nobody.
	11:56pm mariano: Thanks efd and Scott, take care everyone! Oh hey there Mr. Pumpy, better late than never!
	11:57pm Handy Haversack: Exbats! Inez for pres! Always a fun time with this band. So great. I've become a huge fan.
	11:57pm JakeGould: And thanks 100 foot ethernet cable.
	11:58pm van chinski: Great show, Evan. Thanks, and thanks skeleton crue. Stay safe and sound, everyone.
	11:58pm Scott Williams: Great show Evan! And totally glitch-free!
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Yeah, Handy. Good stuff, cool differences, for a little diversion. Intiative is arrived at with cards...so it mixes it up. Anyhow, even though you only "read" Electric Bastionland...perhaps it will seep into AS&SH. Stranger things have happened. A case for...cases, otherwise I may have thought you were reading a book titled 'Electric Bastionland in the Yard'. That and the infinitesimal other possibilities. Wait...is this the same guy telling case sensitivity to go fuck itself?!
	11:59pm spodiodi: thanks, EFD! thanks, Scott!
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: efd...awesome! Thanks!
	11:59pm P-90: Many thanks, efd!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! Thanks Scott and crew! take care y'all

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 27, 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 27, 2020: live from Studio E(FD), with special guest EUGENE REYNOLDS from The Revillos and The Rezillos!

	9:03pm Marley P. Dogg: Whoops
	9:04pm mariano: Hey efd, crew and folks. Is it just me or has there been a bit of Scottish punk/post-punk on FMU lately? Really loving it, heard a couple of groups I had no idea existed.
	9:04pm steveo: Hello, Evan. I heard your name on the radio today.
	9:05pm Handy Haversack: Dinnae fash, Mariano. Scots wha hae!
	9:05pm Scott Williams: I don't believe I've ever heard a more prominent kick drum!
	9:06pm van chinski: Already a great show!
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: I kinda forgot about that Scars track. I wore my Mutant Pop record out!
	9:07pm Steve from Dunwoody: Digging this semi-incoherency.
	9:07pm Gaylord Fields: Hoots mon! I see we're visiting Scotland in honor of Eugene Reynolds!
	9:08pm BJ Skaught: Edwyn Collins is one of the very few singers I can muster a reasonable imitation of. Also: Orange Juice ruled
	9:08pm mariano: Lol Handy!
	9:09pm efd: right ye are, Gaylaird MacFields!
	9:09pm BLCKDGRD: Thanks much for upcoming Revillos/Rezillos song and ER interview!
	9:09pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: Och aye!
	9:10pm Handy Haversack: I could kilt up, but it's hot in here. That's a LOT of wool. Maybe I'll get the dirk down. Doon. Hoots!
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Guessing that we are NOT getting any Marillion? Battlefield Band?
	9:11pm Marley P. Dogg: Handy - how about you just bust out the bagpipes instead
	9:11pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan. Great start tonight. Really looking forward to the Eugene interview. @Mariano This guy has uploaded some great Scottish post-punk material: m.youtube.com...
	9:12pm JakeGould: I’m looking forward to the EFD moment of sublime remote DJing technical amazement.
	9:13pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Marley, I was specifically forbidden from getting "starter" pipes. Our dog's name is Bagpipe, though. Sometimes I squeeze him to make him sing! Ceci n'est pas une bagpipe.
	9:14pm ultradamno: Sounding not unlike Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias
	9:14pm ultradamno: ...at least on the Snuff Rock ep
	9:14pm spodiodi: EFD!
	9:15pm Chop Scott: EFD! The show is sounding killer!
	9:15pm Eddy in Australia: That kick drum created a lot of angst amongst the members of Orange Juice. Check out the Postcard Records book for more.
	9:16pm medson: Hola efd and everyone. Show sounds great.
	9:19pm Handy Haversack: Damn, this set. If Nate hadn't Burned It Down last night, I'd be seriously worried about the fire codes! DAMN!
	9:19pm ultradamno: This Valves single holds a special place in my heart, the a-side is great too.
	9:20pm Power Papi: This is an AMAZING opening set!!!!
	9:20pm ultradamno: Well, Nate being a re-run gave time for additional fireproofing
	9:23pm efd: hey everyone! Great to have you all hear, very much appreciate the early enthusiasm for the show! Eugene Reynolds interview coming up shortly!
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: OH YEAH!
	9:26pm van chinski: So, so good.
	9:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: Faye Fife!
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: Faye's voice on Glad All Over just melts me.
	9:29pm ultradamno: I've always posited that East Bay Ray picked up a lot from Jo Callis off these records.
	9:31pm On the Yazoo: I'm Here!!! Hey Everyone.
	9:32pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Scott!
	9:32pm Rich in Washington: It's night mode somewhere!
	9:33pm mariano: Skeleton Krewe! Skeleton Krewe!
	9:34pm BH: There's a setting that turns the screen black&white and it was not pleasant to accidentally find that setting. Not a huge fan of the Win10 dark mode because I don't like it on the file explorer
	9:35pm CC: Hi Evan...and all... I'm taking a poll.. I wonder why there can't be a message board on every stream 24/7 regardless of whether they have a live DJ or not???
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: Glad there's no limit on clicky-stars per show.
	9:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: Midge Ure's mustache!
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: "You might even get a few hours sleep at the Celtic Hotel. / If you don't laugh it will make you weep, at the Celtic Hotel!"
	9:38pm Steve from Dunwoody: Speaking of which, where were you?
	9:40pm steveL: Machine-gun snare
	9:40pm Motobro: Yeah Yeah Yeh itz the Revillos!!!!!
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Moto! Always glad for Motobro -- Nights Edition!
	9:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Ewan "Funk" Davidson: "Eugene Reynolds" may be my favorite rock 'n' roll pseudonym, because it's more like an alias than a stage name.
	9:43pm Aitch: Was he careful with his axe?
	9:44pm efd: Exactly!! Such a funny name change to make. I thought about bringing that up, but (spoiler) ultimately did not.
	9:44pm mariano: Gaylord: what do you think of "Phil Ramone"? Does it stand out a bit too much?
	9:46pm ultradamno: www.cherryred.co.uk... www.cherryred.co.uk...
	9:47pm efd: Fun fact: Eugene also came up with the label name DinDisc!
	9:50pm Motobro: HANDY !!! How are you this evening?
	9:50pm CC: Eugene seems like a very thoughtful bloke!!!
	9:53pm van chinski: Had to go nerd and look up the Shadow comic thing. It's the 70's DC Comics series, had no idea. You learn something new every day. And forget ten other things.
	9:54pm efd: @van that was all news to me when I read it in the booklet that comes with the box set! There's an image of the cover of the comic in there too, that was a little mind-blowing!
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: Phil Ramone is no Paul Ramon, I'll say that much.
	9:56pm van chinski: @efd Man I want this boxed set. Ugh!
	9:56pm Eddy in Australia: Never realised Eugene is English (and a bit posh), not Scottish.
	9:56pm 100 Foot Ethernet Cable: Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good. Give data. Take data. Correct error. Work good.
	9:56pm ultradamno: I love that drum break crack crack crack crack!
	9:57pm Mark in Toronto: My favourite Revillos song, esp at the end when the bike goes off the end of the dock into the water.
	9:57pm mariano: Oh man, Gaylord, I guess I'm having a brain malfunction, could've sworn Phil Ramone was Paul McCartney's pseudonym but obviously this skull full of mush mixed it all up!
	9:57pm Uncle Michael: How long is MC 900 Foot Jesus' ethernet cable?
	9:58pm Rich in Washington: 899.5 ft! Dontcha HATE when that happens?
	9:59pm ultradamno: My neighbor was just revving up his bike too. Less desired.
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Doing fine, Moto! Enjoying the show over a beer in the yard. So good, efd!
	10:00pm CC: I have often wondered if anybody has ever truly defined what Punk is???
	10:01pm ultradamno: Prisoners have.
	10:02pm CC: Hahaha...ultra dude!!!
	10:03pm JakeGould: Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha!
	10:03pm ultradamno: 1960s’ Teen Tragedy Songs — Twinkle’s Terry v Leader Of The Pack by The Shangri-Las maryrizza.com...
	10:04pm P-90: As Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously said: “I can’t define it, but I know it when I see (or hear) it”
	10:04pm JakeGould: @P-90: That worked out well.
	10:05pm van chinski: Rez/Revillos always made a great soundtrack for reading 2000 AD/Judge Dredd comics back in the 80s. Assumed the song was a ref to the magazine but...when you assume...
	10:05pm P-90: Yes, especially for Malcom McLaren
	10:06pm Barkevious Shabazz: Fifi and Trixie are so hot.
	10:06pm CC: Jake...please try to control your self!!!...heeheehee!!!
	10:06pm P-90: and Vivienne Westwood of course
	10:07pm Motobro: Rev Up... The best !
	10:09pm efd: I was so excited when he told that story!
	10:10pm Michael in Montclair: No wonder ‘Rev Up’ sounds so familiar. Sixteen Candles!
	10:11pm mariano: "Marrying a punk, my lord, is pressing to death, whipping, and hanging."
	10:11pm CC: some people are given all the studio time they need?!?!
	10:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings efd and all
	10:16pm CC: kind of like a Shanghai Noodle Factory?!?
	10:22pm CC: I always liked the Beatles song... You Can't Do That!!!
	10:24pm Handy Haversack: Hey, coela! Were you running through sticky-toffee treacle? Because that sounds like a sticky situation.
	10:25pm mariano: Sticky situation? Sounds like Slaughter and the Dogs doing a toffee commercial.
	10:25pm ToTetsu: I don't think my parents had any revillos LPs.. I would remember this
	10:26pm Motobro: Snatzmobile, or snowmobile?
	10:26pm JakeGould: @ToTetsu: Your parents are lame.
	10:26pm ultradamno: Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha!
	10:27pm van chinski: I so wish I had seen them live. Gah.
	10:27pm efd: ohhh they were AMAZING live!!
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: haha! hey ultra d are you trying to look like an asshole?!
	10:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: Faye Fife has the pipes.
	10:28pm van chinski: Can only imagine.
	10:28pm CC: I suppose it's kind of like a niche thing?!?
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy, mariano, ultra...
	10:28pm ultradamno: @Coel Fair point.
	10:29pm mariano: What's up coela!
	10:30pm Steve from Dunwoody: From Atlanta: Ice cold!
	10:30pm JakeGould: Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk! Cool jerk!
	10:31pm van chinski: It's like a happy assault.
	10:31pm ultradamno: It's a bad guy reaction. Speaking of which, Eugene's vocal break in that song is up there with David Thomas in Life Stinks for best non-verbal interjection.
	10:31pm CC: before the virus, cover bands were doing really well!!!
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: ...Handy as far as i know. no on the treacle; though my nephew was making meringue and macaroons. said there was 1.5# of sugar involved.
	10:32pm Steve from Dunwoody: @vanc Then i am surrendering to it!
	10:32pm JakeGould: Lots of the best punk/new wave bands are proud to show off their classic pop rock roots.
	10:33pm ToTetsu: @JakeGould I was lucky enough to be raised on brain eno and kraftwerk
	10:33pm P-90: WNYU!
	10:33pm Handy Haversack: Ha, that's great, efd!
	10:34pm Barkevious Shabazz: Great station id.
	10:35pm Bri The Beatnik: Love these covers!
	10:35pm Motobro: 1981 Hitsville, so glad I went to see them. Visually unreal. Drummer had glow in the dark drum sticks and wasn’t bashful about flipping and twirling them. Choreography was spot on, and the music, well you can hear that for yourself.
	10:35pm van chinski: I went to NYU. And never listened to WNYU. Because I was a sucky chump.
	10:36pm Motobro: I’ll listen to the whole album.
	10:36pm Bri The Beatnik: @ToTetsu God bless your parents for raising you on them!
	10:36pm JakeGould: What building was WNYU in? Was it near the Triangle Shirtwaist factory site?
	10:37pm Steve from Dunwoody: Warriors, come out and play!
	10:38pm Steve from Dunwoody: Worry? As you like.
	10:39pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: @ToTetsu “brain eno” is a great typo
	10:39pm Handy Haversack: Worriers! Stay in to plaaaa-aaaay!
	10:39pm efd: @jake it bounced all around the campus. The building it was in when I was there isn't even there anymore; the Loeb Student Center at 566 LaGuardia Place on the corner of Washington Square South.
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: Lizzie, it makes sense!
	10:40pm Bri The Beatnik: Glad to hear the 80s college rock sound is still alive!
	10:40pm CC: Those who ain't afraid...come out and test Death!!!
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: (and hi!)
	10:41pm ultradamno: @handy If the gang in that movie were The Worriers they would have seen it coming. "I just know this big gathering is going to go badly for us..."
	10:41pm ultradamno: Oh, and hiya coel.
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: Certainly Tom G. Waites would have bailed before the end came, @ultradamno.
	10:45pm CC: I'm staying in for a while???
	10:46pm Jim H: What a great song! Melenas.
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: weird -never heard this with vocals in it
	10:47pm Handy Haversack: EFD, this show is absolutely bringing it. I don't think there's a song yet I haven't clicky-starred. Gary!
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: they should've put this version on the record in my opinion
	10:48pm van chinski: This show has been, as the kids don't say, a corker.
	10:48pm JakeGould: @EFD: Ahhh! Thanks for that. I remember that building from my teen years going to “The Village” (mainly West 8th Street) and going to Harry’s lunch counter on Greene and Washington.
	10:49pm ultradamno: The kids should bring that back though.
	10:49pm lis-boner pasc: Corktastic indeed — morning / evening fam! Lisbon glowing orange again, must be phosphorous or something. Thanks Evan and Skels!
	10:50pm van chinski: I had no idea the Loeb Student Center was no more. Oh, man, fond memories. I first heard Planet Rock on the jukebox in the rec room.
	10:50pm efd: Olá @pasc! I visited Lisbon around this time five years ago... lovely city!
	10:51pm van chinski: Loving this.
	10:52pm efd: @van even before they knocked down Loeb the radio station had moved to one of the SOA buildings on Broadway... currently it's in the basement of the Weinstein dorm, as far as I know. (My home for most of my time at NYU)
	10:54pm CC: Evan...the older you get...the more you should worry about catching even a common cold!!!...
	10:55pm JakeGould: The new place is called the Kimmel Center or something like that.
	10:55pm van chinski: @efd I commuted in from my borough, really wanted to live in the dorms and be "in" Manhattan while attending (82-86).
	10:57pm efd: @van you were certainly in the majority, not that that's any consolation. You were there right after me.
	10:57pm CC: When all the old people are gone...we should be very afraid!!!...:)
	11:00pm Gaylord Fields: @van chinski: I was also an envious NYU commuting student (I was there the same time as efd). And while I didn't know him, except as a radio voice, he was friends with many of my friends. Also, Loeb (R.I.P) was my favorite place to sleep between (or, occasionally, instead of) classes.
	11:04pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and funksters. 100 degrees here. Total party.
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: 100! Dag, Carmichael. It was like 75 here today and I was getting all in a twist about how to handle it when things actually get hot. You hit the pool? I have been jonesing for a swim!
	11:06pm efd: yeowch, 100 is brutal!
	11:08pm ultradamno: I think it got into the 80s here but, not spin off into cliche, it was the over the top humidity....
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: See, once papa assured Henry he wouldn't leave him, the kid turned out OK!
	11:10pm steveL: Gee, I like Juniper.
	11:12pm CC: I should have known I wouldn't make it up past 10:30!!!
	11:15pm JakeGould: @Gaylord: “…was my favorite place to sleep between (or, occasionally, instead of) classes.” Wooo! Naps!
	11:17pm Carmichael: To use the cliche, it actually is a dry heat. But hot is hot. I finished lugging junk to the curb for the annual pickup. Into the pool.
	11:18pm Michael Shelley: THANKS EFD! Video made on our kitchen table!
	11:18pm Motobro: Good night all. Another Wednesday day in the books. Great interview. Thank you Evan and Skelly crew. Glow in the dark drum sticks!
	11:18pm spodiodi: yuji toriyama <-
	11:19pm efd: Thanks for listening Moto!
	11:19pm efd: Michael, if the basement is Studio B- does that make the kitchen Studio B?
	11:19pm Handy Haversack: Good night, Moto! Hope to see you abouts in the a.m.!
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: This song just fits every situation I hear it in. So smooth -- and heavy.
	11:20pm Michael Shelley: Studio K?
	11:21pm efd: I'll allow it.
	11:22pm JakeGould: Some “Steely Dan” vibes with this “A Girl Called Eddy.”
	11:27pm Carmichael: Yuji’s guitar line sounds so familiar. Every time you play this, I think of a particular artist. I need to research.
	11:27pm mariano: Jake: was so tempted to write "They call Alabama the Crimson Tide..."
	11:28pm Carmichael: My new band will be called Dripping and Happy.
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: i like the sparseness of this particular Juniper track
	11:30pm mariano: Damn, look at the folks who played on Juniper's album! "instrumentally, the Shelley family got an assist from the illustrious likes of Marshall Crenshaw, Dennis Diken (Smithereens), Chris Geddes (Belle & Sebastian), Jay Gonzalez (Drive By Truckers), Steve Goulding (Mekons, Nick Lowe), Ira Kaplan (Yo La Tengo), Chris Collingwood (Fountains of Wayne), Mark Spencer (Son Volt), Greg Townson (Los Straitjackets), and more."
	11:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and funk fans.
	11:32pm van chinski: @Gaylord - Yes! I would crash at Loeb all the time. And in Philosophy class.
	11:32pm Stevel: I don't think I've ever heard of The Checkmates. How is that possible? I have failed the Fort, or it has failed me.
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: that statement makes me wanna stout
	11:36pm Carmichael: Let’s pour a nice Guinness Shout.
	11:36pm Michael Shelley: If you're interested in a weird 1974 no budget "movie" starring The Checkmates try this youtu.be... I believe it may be in a genre all to itself: Blaxploitation-ploitation.
	11:38pm Joe B: greetings efd and everyone!
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: Carm -got murphy's on hand; but i'm waiting 'till friday
	11:38pm Stevel: Michael: I'll tune in for sure. Lived in Fort Wayne since 1988 or so, working 19 years as a photojournalist. Never heard of them, although there was a collection of jazz (Black?) clubs that have avoided any recorded history that I have found.
	11:38pm BH: Mungo Jerry checking in to declare it's summertime
	11:39pm Carmichael: I swear Jerry says “put a bottle in your butt, it will soon be summertime.”
	11:39pm Chop Scott: Happy to see you in the room idea Joe B.!
	11:39pm ?: I heard this in the end of the last song
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: Life's for living yeah that's our philosophy
	11:39pm mariano: I just discovered a few days ago that Mugo Jerry's still at it, has a YouTube channel and he looks almost the same as he did in the 70s.
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Joe B, Ken from HP!
	11:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Joe, Michael, SteveL, HP Ken, Handy, Gaylord, Medson Man, Scott, all!
	11:42pm steveL: Hey Jack! Just in time for the French horns!
	11:43pm Gaylord Fields: @van chinski: Film class was always good for 40 winks when I already saw the movie. @Hoboken Jack: Hi!
	11:44pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Man, I don't want this show to end. It's really been the wasp's nipples, efd! Time, apparently, keeps proving to be linear, despite subjective experience, so I guess this clock thing is going to make a difference. I guess what I'm saying is: I have had a very nice time.
	11:45pm efd: Thanks Handy! Hi Jack and Joe, and everyone else I haven't said hi to directly! (Which, admittedly, is most of you.)
	11:46pm Chop Scott: Sparks!!
	11:47pm van chinski: @Gaylord - ha ha, I was in Tisch, slept through a few silents. I still mean to finish watching Pandora's Box.
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well...distractions and commitments have kept me away. Luckily, there were a lot of laughs involved, I hope that can be said for everyone! Hey, efd!
	11:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, Jack. I hope all is well.
	11:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Sparks!
	11:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Damn, I'm late. Who did Jake yell at?
	11:49pm Scott Williams: YOU AND TROUBLE, ALWAYS MAKING TYPOGRAPHIC TROUBLE
	11:50pm Joe B: @ scptt - ha! yes!
	11:50pm Handy Haversack: "Sainthood is not in what? In WHAT?!" Hey, Mr. P! I have definitely been laughed at tonight, so all is well. These cats. They think they're so cool.
	11:50pm Scott Williams: Mr. Pumpy ^^ hahahaaaa
	11:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Wasp's nipples! ha! Wait...WASP's nipples? That's a whole other sphere of paraffin...
	11:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! Got my Troika! on last night. Good times.
	11:53pm Joe B: best EP title of the year
	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Zats ... Hi, Handy. Just noticed your greeting.
	11:54pm Mr. Pumpy: mixeD cAse can geT bENt
	11:54pm JakeGould: Thanks EFD!
	11:54pm Handy Haversack: Oh, cool! The game Jarrett was talking about? That's so great! It's a fun system. I spent my "day off" on Monday reading Electric Bastionland in the yard. That would be a super fun one to find time to run. Not for nothing, efd, but I would be a very sad Sack if I ever did anything that made Scott Williams even slightly upset! Also: Thanks! And thanks, Skeleton Skott!
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: (oh i hope i don't have nightmares about wasp's nipples) hey Pumpy!
	11:55pm JakeGould: @ToTetsu: Very cool.
	11:56pm Gaylord Fields: "If you have a drink, don't have a drive. If you have a drive, don't have a drink. WFMU Cares."
	11:56pm JakeGould: @MrPumpy: Nobody.
	11:56pm mariano: Thanks efd and Scott, take care everyone! Oh hey there Mr. Pumpy, better late than never!
	11:57pm Handy Haversack: Exbats! Inez for pres! Always a fun time with this band. So great. I've become a huge fan.
	11:57pm JakeGould: And thanks 100 foot ethernet cable.
	11:58pm van chinski: Great show, Evan. Thanks, and thanks skeleton crue. Stay safe and sound, everyone.
	11:58pm Scott Williams: Great show Evan! And totally glitch-free!
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Yeah, Handy. Good stuff, cool differences, for a little diversion. Intiative is arrived at with cards...so it mixes it up. Anyhow, even though you only "read" Electric Bastionland...perhaps it will seep into AS&SH. Stranger things have happened. A case for...cases, otherwise I may have thought you were reading a book titled 'Electric Bastionland in the Yard'. That and the infinitesimal other possibilities. Wait...is this the same guy telling case sensitivity to go fuck itself?!
	11:59pm spodiodi: thanks, EFD! thanks, Scott!
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: efd...awesome! Thanks!
	11:59pm P-90: Many thanks, efd!
