	9:13pm Aitch: all funked up

	9:22pm Tome: buddy in Stamford Ct. just got blasted storms none here yet in Sh Bay ,,BB area in bklyn just yet !<>!
	9:22pm Mike & Dusty: @efd keep it loud so Dusty (dog) doesn’t hear the thundarr
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: Glad you played this after all, efd! Hey, everyone made it back home. Rains opened up as we hit our block. We went to a vigil and march. REALLY weird to be around so many people. Good too, though. More walking than I'm now used to, too!

	9:23pm Mike & Dusty: nice one HH
	9:23pm Tome: sounds great handy glad you're home safe not too 1<>!
	9:24pm Kat in Chicago: Pitch perfect opening set.
	9:25pm Handy Haversack: Changed from my outdoor WFMU T-shirt to my indoor WFMU T-shirt! And poured large, cold drink.
	9:26pm Kat in Chicago: Glad you marched safely, Handy.
	9:27pm xtrakrispy: Hey EFD, was there a theme, that I missed, as to both you and Ken playing Time has Come Today, today?
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: if there was apprehension about playing a song that was just played on the station, for what it's worth i heard "alabama" (Trane) 3 times in a day or 2.
	9:27pm Mike & Dusty: i think i know the answer to the above question
	9:27pm Pedro in Arlington: Had to Google - Queen Esther sang on those Dylan-Petty tours but apparently not the earlier Bob gospel tours.
	9:27pm xtrakrispy: Or just the TIME HAS COME? #blm
	9:28pm efd: @xtrakrispy just that the time has come, today
	9:28pm xtrakrispy: ! Gotcha !
	9:28pm Mike & Dusty: that’s the answer
	9:29pm johnk77: lkj in nyc 1990 https://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/26/arts/reviews-music-reggae-parables-of-life-in-the-jamaican-ghettos-of-london.html i did the live sound
	9:30pm Mike & Dusty: amazing @johnk!
	9:30pm dave wuz here: yummy fur - policeman
	9:30pm slugluv1313: @ Handy -- that is great! yeah trying to figure out where to put my physical self, where it would do the most good in the meantime, trying to do stuff online (research, volunteer, etc.) but it is not enough
	9:31pm Matt Fiveash: You are god damn killing it tonight EFD. Giving me all the speed I lack!
	9:31pm Matt Fiveash: metaphorically. Not condoning amphetamine use on this public forum
	9:32pm J-Dubz-Tha Main Man: its genius how evan can turn a tragedy into a partymusicnight
	9:32pm efd: thanks muchly, Matt.
	9:32pm Mike & Dusty: @Matt nor am i asking if you know where i can get some
	9:32pm JakeGould: @Handy: That’s the one that started in Crown Heights, right? These protests in Brooklyn have been truly peaceful on the side of the protestors… Unless the NYPD suddenly twitches and instigates.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: What is UP with that bass tone?! Hotsie motsie!
	9:33pm Mike & Dusty: language, @Handy
	9:34pm BH: the "Tales from the Tour Bus" Rick James episode seemed to mention this song in regards to the relationship between Rick James and the Buffalo PD (not to be confused with Rick James relations with most other PDs out there)
	9:35pm slugluv1313: @ john77 -- that is so cool! how did i miss that??? saw him in 1983 -- Irving Plaza, i think (and his first show in the States?) then with Lucky Dube -- 2002 i think? he did a reading at Hue-Man Books for "Mi Revalueshanary Fren" -- incredible, so powerful, moving, motivating
	9:36pm slugluv1313: * @ johnk77
	9:36pm ToTetsu: The harder they come is an interesting movie
	9:37pm slugluv1313: EFD you are totally killing it, THANK-YOU!!
	9:38pm Mike & Dusty: i was thinking of a different Bellrays song but awesome we were both thinking Bellrays
	9:38pm Uncle Michael: Seriously. I bow to you, Evan.
	9:39pm BH: 5.1 earthquake in the California desert, felt in LA and Vegas. In case you weren't convinced that the world is a game of Sim City 2000 where somebody keeps going to the disasters menu
	9:39pm Handy Haversack: (Sorry, Dusty!) @Jake, no from McCarren Park. We walked down Union as far as Broadway. I think that some people were maybe going farther, but as soon as we passed the precinct right before Bway, maybe 15, 20 cop cars came out to follow the group. Not sure if people were pressing on. We still aren't feeling up to riding the subway (maybe that's stupid after all the people we were around today, though MOST were masked), so we peeled off at Bway and started walking back north. Pretty clearly the cops are treating North Brooklyn A LOT different from other parts of the city, no way around that one. The Greenpoint precinct was not even particularly militarized. The crowd, while in many ways very "new Brooklyn" was also passionate and angry and restrained and focused. MAN, this is good stuff, efd!
	9:39pm steveL: Kicking ass!!
	9:39pm slugluv1313: yeah, i heard that there were earthquakes in Yellowstone Park too?
	9:40pm efd: @Mike I wonder if you were thinking of "Revolution Get Down." Because that was in the running...
	9:41pm Tome: !<>!!<>!!<>!!<>!
	9:41pm slugluv1313: hell yeah because whitey still on the Moon . . .
	9:42pm slugluv1313: the Revolution will not be televised
	9:42pm Mike & Dusty: @efd I may have been thinking of that Now Time Delegation record though — she’s so distinctive I file them all together (in my mind’s mind)
	9:42pm ultradamno: This song and New York, New York were omnipresent when I was in high school
	9:42pm Bootsie: The Bellrays followed up by Grandmaster Flash... hells, yeah!
	9:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ye olde earthquake mappe: earthquake.usgs.gov...
	9:43pm efd: oh shoot, Mike - I'd forgotten about them!
	9:43pm Bootsie: So much good stuff tonight. Even if it IS for shitty reasons...
	9:43pm Mike & Dusty: just the one record i think? on In the Red
	9:44pm Pedro in Arlington: The Smithsonian had Grandmaster Flash on the National Mall for free just about a year ago. There are probably tanks now where the stage was.
	9:45pm slugluv1313: @ ultradamno -- right? this was EVERYWHERE, my first job outta college was by Columbus Cirlce, boom boxes blasting -- damn i miss that
	9:45pm ToTetsu: What other tracks is that pewpewpepopewpewp sample used in..
	9:47pm Tome: when I hear ie .. Pat Duncan ,, back then on this station , I was like !<>!WoW!<>!
	9:47pm PJ: 1982 to 2020. Dare one hope that the right wing wave which engulfed this country under Reagan is finally pushed back and we begin to live with equal treatment under the law, for everyone?
	9:48pm JakeGould: You mean 1776 (and prior) to 2020, right?
	9:49pm Tome: !<>!ScoobyDoobyDoo!<>!
	9:49pm Joe B: well, 1982 was the year of that song
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: My favorite song when I was nine, “Everyday People.”
	9:51pm JakeGould: @JoeB: True, but none of this just popped out of nowhere fully formed. FWIW, limiting my political blathering posts to focused stuff as of late to avoid rabbit hole discussions and unwanted “@” replies.
	9:51pm slugluv1313: yeah, i was thinking Nixon, Eisenhower . . . hell going all the way back to 1492 :(
	9:55pm Joe B: "none of this just popped out of nowhere fully formed." no shit.
	9:56pm JakeGould: @JoeB: We’ve just gotta agree to agree and that’s about it.
	9:58pm PJ: @jakegould: for sure, the rhetoric of 1776, as opposed to the practices of the time, informed my comment; much of what is good in this country is based on living up to those words, no matter how much we fail to acknowledge that all men are created equal. But I was in high school in 1982, when The Message was everywhere, and I could feel things changing in the wrong direction after Reagan was elected. I‘m a white male, so I haven’t borne the brunt of the reactionary wave, but I do feel like maybe this is a real inflection point, and maybe things will really change now.
	10:02pm steveL: Do anything you can to keep your foot on the gas. I’m not able to be on the street, but I’m backstopping a young friend who is playing a dedicated role in the protests. As a former photojournalist, I’m very curious, by so far have steered clear. However, we’re seeing what we can do to give a journalistic voice to the people in the street, via my friend, who is committed to their decentralized structure. Wish us luck!
	10:05pm Gaylord Fields: efd: I was going to say I "enjoyed" the opening set, but I think I mean "appreciated" — but I do also mean "enjoyed," because those songs slapped, as the kids say.
	10:06pm efd: Thanks Gaylord, I appreciated and enjoyed reading your comment.
	10:09pm Joe B: The Duncan Reid show was one of the best all-time at Monty Hall!
	10:10pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: Niiiiiice!
	10:10pm P-90: DJ Gaylord said it all
	10:10pm efd: I can't believe I missed it! I think there must have been a site release for work that night, they're usually on alternate Thursdays.
	10:10pm sweet corn Lizzie: Hi everyone. Gaylord, thanks for that show with Becky.
	10:12pm Joe B: well efd you did see them the night before in studio B
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: Gaylord was on with Becky?! I am never leaving the apartment again. It's not worth missing these things.
	10:13pm efd: True! But not the same as on stage!
	10:14pm JakeGould: @Handy: An encore performance of this show from October 2019 which was like… 3 years ago… wfmu.org...
	10:15pm Chop Scott: Good Evening EFD!!
	10:16pm Handy Haversack: Ha! That just raises the question: why the hell did I leave the apt. in October? Maybe I saw the future coming and was getting my licks in.
	10:16pm efd: howdy Scott!
	10:18pm JakeGould: “That just raises the question: why the hell did I leave the apt. in October?” Beer.
	10:19pm Handy Haversack: Well, that has the ring of plausibility, Jake, it's true.
	10:22pm efd: The second track on the album is called "Motherfucker."
	10:22pm sweet corn Lizzie: Oktoberfest, Handy? Sorry I missed some of this show but had to listen to my buddy’s sports show on KFJC.
	10:23pm Handy Haversack: It's always Oktoberfest someplace, SCLizzie!
	10:24pm efd: The lesson here for anyone in a band: DON'T REHEARSE, apparently
	10:24pm efd: Happy to have you at any time, Lizzie!
	10:24pm JakeGould: @efd: They could have referred to it as “Market Farmer” or “Max Factor.”
	10:30pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Just below 100 out here in the man cave.
	10:31pm medson: I hear a little Vapors in this track.
	10:31pm Carmichael: Whoa you played the grandmaster. Awesome!
	10:32pm Carmichael: @medson, I really think so.
	10:33pm efd: jeez Carmichael - any break since last week? I think it was 100 then as well.
	10:35pm Carmichael: Strange, its up and down. Supposed to be 80 this weekend.
	10:35pm JakeGould: For the benefit of EFD and others, Ken From Hyde Park had a great bad joke on another poor DJs playlist in response to that heat report: • How hot is it? • It’s so hot, I saw a robin using a potholder to pull a worm out of the ground. • Heyo!
	10:37pm efd: Thank you Jake, I missed that joke's previous appearance and I'm not ashamed to say it elicited a laugh.
	10:38pm efd: get the long johns out, Carmichael!
	10:38pm JakeGould: No problem!
	10:42pm ultradamno: For some reason I had it in my head The Hollywood Brats came after The Boys, but it's the other way around.
	10:44pm efd: right, Hollywood Brats were like late glam/proto-punk times
	10:45pm ultradamno: Around the same time, for maximum confusion, were The Boyzz www.discogs.com...
	10:46pm efd: and, in New York City, the Brats!
	10:46pm ultradamno: Yeah, very NY Dolls damaged.
	10:48pm Handy Haversack: Either pronounced as in the sausage?
	10:49pm Joe B: they have a new album out also!
	10:49pm ultradamno: I would hope that's how The Berlin Brats pronounced it.
	10:49pm efd: @Handy you're thinking of the Milwaukee Brats.
	10:50pm Handy Haversack: They're the wurst!
	10:50pm Gaylord Fields: So we're now discussing Bratz Dolls? Cool!
	10:51pm medson: Great interview Evan
	10:51pm efd: Thanks Medson!
	10:52pm ultradamno: No, they're The Wurst www.reverbnation.com...
	10:52pm Joe B: @handy - ha! good one!
	10:52pm Joe B: great job efd
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, efd, thanks for that one! Wish I'd seen that MH show!
	10:52pm ultradamno: And in Australia, Würst Nürse wurstnurse.bandcamp.com
	10:54pm efd: Thanks Joe and Handy! I wish I'd seen that show too!
	10:54pm ultradamno: And this, by this, this the actual worst nurse...I'll stop now. allthatsinteresting.com...
	10:56pm ultradamno: That's more this's than I thought I typed.
	11:01pm Joe B: half their Monty Hall set: vimeo.com...
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Joe! Thanks!
	11:02pm efd: thanks Joe! They were very complimentary of the video they got from the MH performance before we started the interview!
	11:03pm Joe B: IIRC Duncan didn't want the whole set up since they were planning to tour the rest of the year. understandable!
	11:04pm efd: right, that does make sense
	11:16pm Handy Haversack: COVID song. Kate's band is going to release a quaransingle, too. I guess tomorrow?
	11:17pm McGroovey: Is this year really going to last forever? I sure hope not.
	11:17pm JakeGould: What McGroovey said.
	11:19pm Alex of Chicago: Alcohol Funnycar is a name I haven't heard in a long long time, from when I was growing up in Seattle.
	11:22pm Scott Williams: efd, thanks for the welcome to such esteemed company!
	11:23pm JakeGould: Be your own. Personal. Skeleton.
	11:23pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Skeleton Skott! So glad to get to hear you more!
	11:23pm Joe B: great news Scott!
	11:25pm JakeGould: Huzzah to Scott! Our new humpday companion!
	11:27pm Chop Scott: Super glad to have Brother Scott back on the air!!
	11:37pm Scott Williams: Thanks much, pals! Very happy to be back on the reg, and with a whole extra minute!
	11:39pm Joe B: oh yeah, an extra minute to work with! forgot about that angle, gonna be weird!
	11:39pm Carmichael: Are you saying they cut Jim Price?? Now what am I gonna do for that minute?!?
	11:39pm efd: don't spend it all in one place!
	11:39pm Joe B: no Carm, scott is on a different day
	11:39pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: Jim Price is still on right next to Olivia.
	11:41pm Carmichael: Whew, sorry I panicked!
	11:42pm Joe B: efd, the 12 hour rulke to be invoked Monday re this doug tuttle song!
	11:44pm Mr. Pumpy: I went out today...socially!!! Oh my god, oh my GOD OH MY GOD!!! Yes...an hour drive and hanging in my buddy's driveway all distant and such. It was truly sublime! Hello all!
	11:45pm Mr. Pumpy: Hola, efd and friends. I got a bit emphatic there, and rightly so! Hope all are well.
	11:45pm Handy Haversack: Let's get you a cold compress, Mr. P!
	11:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Seriously, Handy...seriously! It was really something; what with the talking and seeing and all. How are you, man?
	11:49pm efd: @Joe Turnabout is fair play!
	11:49pm efd: welcome back to the anti-social world, Mr. Pumpy! :)
	11:50pm Roberto: I must say I am digging the Gold.
	11:51pm efd: yeah, this song is great!
	11:51pm JakeGould: With all of the social distancing rules out there Jack Nance’s “Wrapped in plastic…” takes on new meaning.
	11:51pm efd: reminds me of something I'd want to find on a $3 LP I plucked out of a used bin
	11:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, I was in an actual crowd, Mr. P. VERY WEIRD. We also ran into several people we actually know, which involved a lot of weird I'm-not-hugging-you bobbing and weaving.
	11:53pm Bri The Beatnik: This song gives off Matthew Sweet vibes
	11:53pm Mr. Pumpy: efd, thank you. I am more comfortable here long-term, albeit slightly less visibly elated. Thanks for having me!
	11:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, sounds weird and wonderful. Sounds like you were out supporting the cause. Good on you.
	11:57pm Michael Shelley: Thanks for the excellent show!
	11:57pm Handy Haversack: Oh, holy crap! 11:55! Thanks, efd! Wish it could last forever. Thanks, Skeleton (Skott?)! Take it easy, everyone!
	11:59pm JakeGould: Thanks EFD!
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, efd. I barely even knew ya.
	11:59pm Joe B: thanks efd and Scott
	12:00am Alex of Chicago: Great show. Thank you, as always.
	12:00am sweet corn Lizzie: Being in a crowd sounds so wild. Good for you, Handy. Great show. Thanks.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from June 3, 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!

June 3, 2020: live from Studio E(FD), with special guests DUNCAN REID & THE BIG HEADS! But first,

	9:22pm Handy Haversack: Glad you played this after all, efd! Hey, everyone made it back home. Rains opened up as we hit our block. We went to a vigil and march. REALLY weird to be around so many people. Good too, though. More walking than I'm now used to, too!

	9:26pm Kat in Chicago: Glad you marched safely, Handy.
	9:27pm xtrakrispy: Hey EFD, was there a theme, that I missed, as to both you and Ken playing Time has Come Today, today?
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: if there was apprehension about playing a song that was just played on the station, for what it's worth i heard "alabama" (Trane) 3 times in a day or 2.
	9:27pm Mike & Dusty: i think i know the answer to the above question
	9:27pm Pedro in Arlington: Had to Google - Queen Esther sang on those Dylan-Petty tours but apparently not the earlier Bob gospel tours.
	9:27pm xtrakrispy: Or just the TIME HAS COME? #blm
	9:28pm efd: @xtrakrispy just that the time has come, today
	9:28pm xtrakrispy: ! Gotcha !
	9:28pm Mike & Dusty: that’s the answer
	9:29pm johnk77: lkj in nyc 1990 https://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/26/arts/reviews-music-reggae-parables-of-life-in-the-jamaican-ghettos-of-london.html i did the live sound
	9:30pm Mike & Dusty: amazing @johnk!
	9:30pm dave wuz here: yummy fur - policeman
	9:30pm slugluv1313: @ Handy -- that is great! yeah trying to figure out where to put my physical self, where it would do the most good in the meantime, trying to do stuff online (research, volunteer, etc.) but it is not enough
	9:31pm Matt Fiveash: You are god damn killing it tonight EFD. Giving me all the speed I lack!
	9:31pm Matt Fiveash: metaphorically. Not condoning amphetamine use on this public forum
	9:32pm J-Dubz-Tha Main Man: its genius how evan can turn a tragedy into a partymusicnight
	9:32pm efd: thanks muchly, Matt.
	9:32pm Mike & Dusty: @Matt nor am i asking if you know where i can get some
	9:32pm JakeGould: @Handy: That’s the one that started in Crown Heights, right? These protests in Brooklyn have been truly peaceful on the side of the protestors… Unless the NYPD suddenly twitches and instigates.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: What is UP with that bass tone?! Hotsie motsie!
	9:33pm Mike & Dusty: language, @Handy
	9:34pm BH: the "Tales from the Tour Bus" Rick James episode seemed to mention this song in regards to the relationship between Rick James and the Buffalo PD (not to be confused with Rick James relations with most other PDs out there)
	9:35pm slugluv1313: @ john77 -- that is so cool! how did i miss that??? saw him in 1983 -- Irving Plaza, i think (and his first show in the States?) then with Lucky Dube -- 2002 i think? he did a reading at Hue-Man Books for "Mi Revalueshanary Fren" -- incredible, so powerful, moving, motivating
	9:36pm slugluv1313: * @ johnk77
	9:36pm ToTetsu: The harder they come is an interesting movie
	9:37pm slugluv1313: EFD you are totally killing it, THANK-YOU!!
	9:38pm Mike & Dusty: i was thinking of a different Bellrays song but awesome we were both thinking Bellrays
	9:38pm Uncle Michael: Seriously. I bow to you, Evan.
	9:39pm BH: 5.1 earthquake in the California desert, felt in LA and Vegas. In case you weren't convinced that the world is a game of Sim City 2000 where somebody keeps going to the disasters menu
	9:39pm Handy Haversack: (Sorry, Dusty!) @Jake, no from McCarren Park. We walked down Union as far as Broadway. I think that some people were maybe going farther, but as soon as we passed the precinct right before Bway, maybe 15, 20 cop cars came out to follow the group. Not sure if people were pressing on. We still aren't feeling up to riding the subway (maybe that's stupid after all the people we were around today, though MOST were masked), so we peeled off at Bway and started walking back north. Pretty clearly the cops are treating North Brooklyn A LOT different from other parts of the city, no way around that one. The Greenpoint precinct was not even particularly militarized. The crowd, while in many ways very "new Brooklyn" was also passionate and angry and restrained and focused. MAN, this is good stuff, efd!
	9:39pm steveL: Kicking ass!!
	9:39pm slugluv1313: yeah, i heard that there were earthquakes in Yellowstone Park too?
	9:40pm efd: @Mike I wonder if you were thinking of "Revolution Get Down." Because that was in the running...
	9:41pm Tome: !<>!!<>!!<>!!<>!
	9:41pm slugluv1313: hell yeah because whitey still on the Moon . . .
	9:42pm slugluv1313: the Revolution will not be televised
	9:42pm Mike & Dusty: @efd I may have been thinking of that Now Time Delegation record though — she’s so distinctive I file them all together (in my mind’s mind)
	9:42pm ultradamno: This song and New York, New York were omnipresent when I was in high school
	9:42pm Bootsie: The Bellrays followed up by Grandmaster Flash... hells, yeah!
	9:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ye olde earthquake mappe: earthquake.usgs.gov...
	9:43pm efd: oh shoot, Mike - I'd forgotten about them!
	9:43pm Bootsie: So much good stuff tonight. Even if it IS for shitty reasons...
	9:43pm Mike & Dusty: just the one record i think? on In the Red
	9:44pm Pedro in Arlington: The Smithsonian had Grandmaster Flash on the National Mall for free just about a year ago. There are probably tanks now where the stage was.
	9:45pm slugluv1313: @ ultradamno -- right? this was EVERYWHERE, my first job outta college was by Columbus Cirlce, boom boxes blasting -- damn i miss that
	9:45pm ToTetsu: What other tracks is that pewpewpepopewpewp sample used in..
	9:47pm Tome: when I hear ie .. Pat Duncan ,, back then on this station , I was like !<>!WoW!<>!
	9:47pm PJ: 1982 to 2020. Dare one hope that the right wing wave which engulfed this country under Reagan is finally pushed back and we begin to live with equal treatment under the law, for everyone?
	9:48pm JakeGould: You mean 1776 (and prior) to 2020, right?
	9:49pm Tome: !<>!ScoobyDoobyDoo!<>!
	9:49pm Joe B: well, 1982 was the year of that song
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: My favorite song when I was nine, “Everyday People.”
	9:51pm JakeGould: @JoeB: True, but none of this just popped out of nowhere fully formed. FWIW, limiting my political blathering posts to focused stuff as of late to avoid rabbit hole discussions and unwanted “@” replies.
	9:51pm slugluv1313: yeah, i was thinking Nixon, Eisenhower . . . hell going all the way back to 1492 :(
	9:55pm Joe B: "none of this just popped out of nowhere fully formed." no shit.
	9:56pm JakeGould: @JoeB: We’ve just gotta agree to agree and that’s about it.
	9:58pm PJ: @jakegould: for sure, the rhetoric of 1776, as opposed to the practices of the time, informed my comment; much of what is good in this country is based on living up to those words, no matter how much we fail to acknowledge that all men are created equal. But I was in high school in 1982, when The Message was everywhere, and I could feel things changing in the wrong direction after Reagan was elected. I‘m a white male, so I haven’t borne the brunt of the reactionary wave, but I do feel like maybe this is a real inflection point, and maybe things will really change now.
	10:02pm steveL: Do anything you can to keep your foot on the gas. I’m not able to be on the street, but I’m backstopping a young friend who is playing a dedicated role in the protests. As a former photojournalist, I’m very curious, by so far have steered clear. However, we’re seeing what we can do to give a journalistic voice to the people in the street, via my friend, who is committed to their decentralized structure. Wish us luck!
	10:05pm Gaylord Fields: efd: I was going to say I "enjoyed" the opening set, but I think I mean "appreciated" — but I do also mean "enjoyed," because those songs slapped, as the kids say.
	10:06pm efd: Thanks Gaylord, I appreciated and enjoyed reading your comment.
	10:09pm Joe B: The Duncan Reid show was one of the best all-time at Monty Hall!
	10:10pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: Niiiiiice!
	10:10pm P-90: DJ Gaylord said it all
	10:10pm efd: I can't believe I missed it! I think there must have been a site release for work that night, they're usually on alternate Thursdays.
	10:10pm sweet corn Lizzie: Hi everyone. Gaylord, thanks for that show with Becky.
	10:12pm Joe B: well efd you did see them the night before in studio B
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: Gaylord was on with Becky?! I am never leaving the apartment again. It's not worth missing these things.
	10:13pm efd: True! But not the same as on stage!
	10:14pm JakeGould: @Handy: An encore performance of this show from October 2019 which was like… 3 years ago… wfmu.org...
	10:15pm Chop Scott: Good Evening EFD!!
	10:16pm Handy Haversack: Ha! That just raises the question: why the hell did I leave the apt. in October? Maybe I saw the future coming and was getting my licks in.
	10:16pm efd: howdy Scott!
	10:18pm JakeGould: “That just raises the question: why the hell did I leave the apt. in October?” Beer.
	10:19pm Handy Haversack: Well, that has the ring of plausibility, Jake, it's true.
	10:22pm efd: The second track on the album is called "Motherfucker."
	10:22pm sweet corn Lizzie: Oktoberfest, Handy? Sorry I missed some of this show but had to listen to my buddy’s sports show on KFJC.
	10:23pm Handy Haversack: It's always Oktoberfest someplace, SCLizzie!
	10:24pm efd: The lesson here for anyone in a band: DON'T REHEARSE, apparently
	10:24pm efd: Happy to have you at any time, Lizzie!
	10:24pm JakeGould: @efd: They could have referred to it as “Market Farmer” or “Max Factor.”
	10:30pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Just below 100 out here in the man cave.
	10:31pm medson: I hear a little Vapors in this track.
	10:31pm Carmichael: Whoa you played the grandmaster. Awesome!
	10:32pm Carmichael: @medson, I really think so.
	10:33pm efd: jeez Carmichael - any break since last week? I think it was 100 then as well.
	10:35pm Carmichael: Strange, its up and down. Supposed to be 80 this weekend.
	10:35pm JakeGould: For the benefit of EFD and others, Ken From Hyde Park had a great bad joke on another poor DJs playlist in response to that heat report: • How hot is it? • It’s so hot, I saw a robin using a potholder to pull a worm out of the ground. • Heyo!
	10:37pm efd: Thank you Jake, I missed that joke's previous appearance and I'm not ashamed to say it elicited a laugh.
	10:38pm efd: get the long johns out, Carmichael!
	10:38pm JakeGould: No problem!
	10:42pm ultradamno: For some reason I had it in my head The Hollywood Brats came after The Boys, but it's the other way around.
	10:44pm efd: right, Hollywood Brats were like late glam/proto-punk times
	10:45pm ultradamno: Around the same time, for maximum confusion, were The Boyzz www.discogs.com...
	10:46pm efd: and, in New York City, the Brats!
	10:46pm ultradamno: Yeah, very NY Dolls damaged.
	10:48pm Handy Haversack: Either pronounced as in the sausage?
	10:49pm Joe B: they have a new album out also!
	10:49pm ultradamno: I would hope that's how The Berlin Brats pronounced it.
	10:49pm efd: @Handy you're thinking of the Milwaukee Brats.
	10:50pm Handy Haversack: They're the wurst!
	10:50pm Gaylord Fields: So we're now discussing Bratz Dolls? Cool!
	10:51pm medson: Great interview Evan
	10:51pm efd: Thanks Medson!
	10:52pm ultradamno: No, they're The Wurst www.reverbnation.com...
	10:52pm Joe B: @handy - ha! good one!
	10:52pm Joe B: great job efd
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, efd, thanks for that one! Wish I'd seen that MH show!
	10:52pm ultradamno: And in Australia, Würst Nürse wurstnurse.bandcamp.com
	10:54pm efd: Thanks Joe and Handy! I wish I'd seen that show too!
	10:54pm ultradamno: And this, by this, this the actual worst nurse...I'll stop now. allthatsinteresting.com...
	10:56pm ultradamno: That's more this's than I thought I typed.
	11:01pm Joe B: half their Monty Hall set: vimeo.com...
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Joe! Thanks!
	11:02pm efd: thanks Joe! They were very complimentary of the video they got from the MH performance before we started the interview!
	11:03pm Joe B: IIRC Duncan didn't want the whole set up since they were planning to tour the rest of the year. understandable!
	11:04pm efd: right, that does make sense
	11:16pm Handy Haversack: COVID song. Kate's band is going to release a quaransingle, too. I guess tomorrow?
	11:17pm McGroovey: Is this year really going to last forever? I sure hope not.
	11:17pm JakeGould: What McGroovey said.
	11:19pm Alex of Chicago: Alcohol Funnycar is a name I haven't heard in a long long time, from when I was growing up in Seattle.
	11:22pm Scott Williams: efd, thanks for the welcome to such esteemed company!
	11:23pm JakeGould: Be your own. Personal. Skeleton.

	11:39pm Joe B: oh yeah, an extra minute to work with! forgot about that angle, gonna be weird!
	11:39pm Carmichael: Are you saying they cut Jim Price?? Now what am I gonna do for that minute?!?
	11:39pm efd: don't spend it all in one place!
	11:39pm Joe B: no Carm, scott is on a different day
	11:39pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: Jim Price is still on right next to Olivia.
	11:41pm Carmichael: Whew, sorry I panicked!
	11:42pm Joe B: efd, the 12 hour rulke to be invoked Monday re this doug tuttle song!
	11:44pm Mr. Pumpy: I went out today...socially!!! Oh my god, oh my GOD OH MY GOD!!! Yes...an hour drive and hanging in my buddy's driveway all distant and such. It was truly sublime! Hello all!
	11:45pm Mr. Pumpy: Hola, efd and friends. I got a bit emphatic there, and rightly so! Hope all are well.
	11:45pm Handy Haversack: Let's get you a cold compress, Mr. P!
	11:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Seriously, Handy...seriously! It was really something; what with the talking and seeing and all. How are you, man?
	11:49pm efd: @Joe Turnabout is fair play!
	11:49pm efd: welcome back to the anti-social world, Mr. Pumpy! :)
	11:50pm Roberto: I must say I am digging the Gold.
	11:51pm efd: yeah, this song is great!
	11:51pm JakeGould: With all of the social distancing rules out there Jack Nance’s “Wrapped in plastic…” takes on new meaning.
	11:51pm efd: reminds me of something I'd want to find on a $3 LP I plucked out of a used bin
	11:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, I was in an actual crowd, Mr. P. VERY WEIRD. We also ran into several people we actually know, which involved a lot of weird I'm-not-hugging-you bobbing and weaving.
	11:53pm Bri The Beatnik: This song gives off Matthew Sweet vibes
	11:53pm Mr. Pumpy: efd, thank you. I am more comfortable here long-term, albeit slightly less visibly elated. Thanks for having me!
	11:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, sounds weird and wonderful. Sounds like you were out supporting the cause. Good on you.
	11:57pm Michael Shelley: Thanks for the excellent show!
	11:57pm Handy Haversack: Oh, holy crap! 11:55! Thanks, efd! Wish it could last forever. Thanks, Skeleton (Skott?)! Take it easy, everyone!
