	9:06pm efd: @phillip I will only disappoint you.
	9:07pm Kat in Chicago: Remembering Art Brut playing Formed A Band at Pitchfork festival in the Chicago summer sun. "this IS my singing voice!"

	9:09pm Michael in Montclair: Good evening EFD and everyone!
	9:10pm efd: I just realized I might be stepping on Scott Williams' new morning show feature with this one! Sorry Scott!
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Jeez, Kat, I misread your avatar as Sweet Corn Lizzie's! So sorry -- it's been a long couple of days! Also, Captain MAGO-roo! Amazing!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: Scott has a WFMU Hits feature? I don't wake up early enough for Wake these days.
	9:12pm Gaylord Fields: I've got on my boogie shoes and I'm ready to get down tonight, so keep it coming, efd!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: I did kinda wonder why you called me Lizzie, Handy, but it's a good name so I went with it
	9:13pm efd: @Gaylord I'm gonna keep it comin', love!
	9:13pm Chop Scott: Good Wednesday Evening EFD!
	9:14pm Handy Haversack: Really sorry, Kat. Like Dot Allison, I'm a wee strung out!
	9:14pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: That's the method by which I show a preference.
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: What's up, Handy, you okay? I haven't been on the boards much the last couple of days.
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: All good, Kat -- thanks! You know, just long days. Every night a Saturday, every morning a Monday. Yay, 2020!
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: I'm between engagements as of Friday, so I guess every day's gonna be Blursday till I can convince someone to let me work from home and give me health care
	9:19pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Kat, good luck. That's rough.
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Handy. I knew the end date and I have resources in the short term. I just don't want to settle for another temp gig, and I don't want to start riding the bus/train twice a day again if I can help it.
	9:21pm mndave: This x-ray spex track perfectly fits this time spent awaiting my plague test results.
	9:22pm Kat in Chicago: I hope you don't have the plague, mndave :(
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: We took the subway for the first time since March 16 last Friday. WEEEEEEIIIIIIRD. (Also: RIP, Tom Seaver. NYC salute.)
	9:24pm Scott Williams: @efd, it can't become a hit if you don't make it one! Starbreaker is totally yours.
	9:24pm CC: Some people kiss other people and make them sick... other people kiss some people and make them well..!.. think about it it's deep!!!!...;)
	9:25pm efd: darn tootin, Scott!
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: Evan, this is already your record breaking Sound of Summer year...and I think you can get one more in before the equinox.
	9:27pm Stevel: Good evening all. Facing a stiff challenge from the local public radio station WBOI, tonight featuring a post punk collection that started off pretty cool while I was in the car. Of course, everything's cooler in the car, or so they say. Starbreaker is an amazing thing. efd should probably get points.
	9:27pm Kat in Chicago: I got my swag, Scott! Thanks!!! Arrived on the very last day of August, which I consider "on time." (To be fair, it was super early last year.) The fun thing about waiting for it is that I forget half of what I asked for and then it's like "oh I forgot all about the Matt Warwick pizza tank top, cool!"
	9:28pm Aitch: Nice to hear You Am I.
	9:28pm efd: ooh, I might tune into that myself Stevel!
	9:28pm Kat in Chicago: Is there a rule about no Starbreaker after Labor Day?
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, not strict but I was definitely mindful of its approach.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: sabu had the Boston album.
	9:29pm Chop Scott: I thought it was Triumph for moment.
	9:29pm Stevel: Kat: Got mine about a month ago (I think. Its hazy.) It lifted my spirits for days. I left it in a pile on my desk.
	9:30pm efd: I just love how blatantly this rips o--- er, I mean, pays homage to Boston.
	9:30pm Handy Haversack: I think it's no Starbreaker after midnight, and never get Starbreaker wet.
	9:30pm Alex of Chicago: happy lovely summer evening during a pandemic wednesday
	9:31pm johnk77: enjoying this show @um we just said the same thing:>
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: Time doesn't wait for me. it keeps on going.
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: I was trying to think what the beginning reminded me of. Yes, this is definitely Boston-esque.
	9:31pm Julie M: Yes, thanks for the nice summer vibe music. But sad about Tom Seaver, too.
	9:32pm Alex of Chicago: yeah, like living on comm ave vibes
	9:32pm Stevel: Someone's gotta ride that second wave.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: Enjoying the somewhat cooler weather, Alex? I did run the AC for a couple of hours today but windows are open now.
	9:33pm Alex of Chicago: lol. i used to live a few doors down from aerosmith's apartment on comm ave. i can still hear the clang of the green line
	9:34pm Stevel: To be fair to BOston (not that anyone seems to be complaining) their sound popped right out of little radios. It had a punch. Dare I say, it was... ...more than...
	9:34pm Alex of Chicago: @kat it felt great on the dog walk this evening
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: I still love the first two Boston albums. I've played them too recently to spin them this week.
	9:36pm Scott Williams: Kat, happy to hear of your swag's safe arrival!
	9:36pm Julie M: Years and years ago (and years more), My sister was in a theological seminary in Maine, and her roommate had a bird that LOVED Boston. That bird was mesmerized by the music. He (or she) would drift off at the quiet part of "More than a Feeling" and then would go crazy in his (or her) cage when it got more raucous.
	9:38pm Alex of Chicago: i went to college in maine. and all of that comment holds up
	9:38pm Kat in Chicago: Safe and sound, Scott. I'm saving the meditation tape for tomorrow after I submit my unemployment claim.
	9:38pm Julie M: I hesitate to mention in this comment board, but the bird also seemed to like.... Dan Fogelberg.
	9:38pm CC: I never cared that much for Boston when they first came out... I thought they were too formulaic... capitalizing on riffs that had already been done... in retrospect I enjoy some of their songs now...???...:)
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: We're going to Maine next month. I'm going to play "More Than a Feeling" at every bird I see.
	9:39pm Aitch: That Hourly Daily record pretty good, but the one before, Hi-Fi Way is brilliant. Main man a Kinks head.
	9:40pm Julie M: Well, Handy, you have to be patient through the whole song to see if it has the right effect. But do it!
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: We're going to have a canoe, Julie M, so we'll paddle out to the middle of peaceful ponds and just let it rip and see which birds are the cool ones.
	9:41pm mariano: Hey efd, Scott, everyone!
	9:42pm Julie M: That sounds nice, Handy. What bird can resist?
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: That's a great idea for a Wake feature. I'll have to check the archive.
	9:43pm Scott Williams: The Hit List it is, very closely following Pop Roxx with EFD!
	9:44pm B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ: Why yes, here am! B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ. I would love to get my record collection back.
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Scott's "Hit List" is great -- and so is Evan's "Pop Roxx"! Jeez, I gotta get more sleep. I'm already close to sixteen hours of WFMU today.
	9:46pm mariano: That means you've got eight more hours of FMU left, yaaaay!
	9:47pm Kat in Chicago: I used to hear Pop Roxx when I actually got up early and went downtown for work, it's very good indeed.
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: You gotta carry the 1, Mariano.
	9:48pm CC: I remember when Loverboy first came out I thought they were just trying to sound like Foreigner???...:)
	9:48pm Handy Haversack: BTW, efd, I checked with my buddy Manny, and he agreed, "Yeah, Wetlands. Jesus." I think the "of all places" is implied!
	9:50pm efd: haha! ok, glad we're on the same page.
	9:50pm mariano: Hmph. Carry the 1. Well I never!
	9:55pm P-90: ahhhh... Wetlands...
	9:55pm efd: of all places!
	9:59pm Julie M: Wow, I must say, Evan that seemed like a seamless mix from dramarama to Psych Furs
	9:59pm Scott Williams: Handy, when are you guys gonna be in Maine? And where, roughly? I'll be there later this month. Is listener Melinda here?
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Ha! It always works! That was a heck of segue!
	9:59pm efd: thanks Julie!
	10:00pm efd: and thank you, Handy!
	10:00pm Handy Haversack: Scott! We're there like 9/17-21? In Penobscot, near Blue Hill. About 45 mins. down coast from Acadia. Where will you be?
	10:01pm Scott Williams: Sorry I'm delayed on the comments, I'm over there getting the rest of all y'all's swag out
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: No, no, Scott. We got our swag last week. You can stop!
	10:02pm mariano: Jeez, what kinda sweatshop is Ken running over there?
	10:03pm JM: I think the person recently spotted by LAX with a jet pack was EFD. Propelled by his selections.
	10:03pm Scott Williams: Handy: roughly 9/19-27, Portland-ish and the Sebago Lakes. Plant a flag in Cadillac Mountain for me!
	10:04pm Scott Williams: C'mon Mariano, you know we don't call em that name anymore! S-k-e-l-e-t-o-n-c-r-e-w
	10:05pm Handy Haversack: I'll e-mail, Scott. Maybe we can stop off in Portland-ish on the way home if you're there and wave giddily at one another!
	10:05pm efd: 'cause y'all are gonna look like skeletons by the time all that swag gets shipped out!
	10:07pm mariano: Whoops, right y'are, Scott. Nothing to see here folks, keep moving!
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: Big Joanie wishlisted for Bandcamp Friday!
	10:09pm Handy Haversack: "Cranes in the Sky" a Solange cover, Kate tells me.
	10:10pm SeanWStapleton: yup, Solange cover! great song.
	10:10pm ?: @Handy yes it is. @efd 91.1 just went bonkers static in JC
	10:12pm efd: anyone else listening (or trying) at 91.1?
	10:12pm efd: thanks for the Solange cover info, folks - clearly I'm a Solange-noramus.
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 and 91.9 both coming in strong in North Brooklyn (thanks, clouds!).
	10:14pm ultradamno: I don't mean to court controversy, but the bitches in coach are more fun.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: Haha ultradamno
	10:16pm Scott Williams: ? - haven't noticed any issues in JC, in-house or on-air. Anyone else report?
	10:17pm P-90: Haven’t heard this sublimely ridiculous track in ages...
	10:18pm ultradamno: So this was a year before Al Stewart had a hit with Year Of The Cat, coincidence?
	10:19pm efd: [hmm emoji]
	10:22pm Kat in Chicago: "sublimely ridiculous" is an apt description.
	10:22pm patrick321: @Scott & efd – that ? Was me earlier I’ve switched to .org but static condition continues in JC
	10:23pm patrick321: It was fine from 7:45 until 10 mins ago. Might be weird interference I live in a tower
	10:24pm ultradamno: Ian Mitchell of The Bay City Rollers has died www.wtsp.com...
	10:25pm Scott Williams: Thanks Patrick - it would seem to be specific to your location (for the moment!) This part of waterfront JC is solid
	10:26pm Handy Haversack: Just checked the bathroom boombox again -- both stations strong here still.
	10:27pm efd: that little hiccup was me hitting the wrong button
	10:27pm Chop Scott: 91.1 air signal is solid in Brooklyn--no interruption here.
	10:29pm ledzeppelinsucks: this is a good song
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: efd, the playlist says "soft shoulder" -- someone's driving too much!
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: (That's just science!)
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: SCIENCE!
	10:31pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and people.
	10:31pm efd: haha, I thought I'd fixed that! Thanks Handy
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Carm
	10:32pm Handy Haversack: Did the Sacramento band summon you, Carmichael? Hope you're staying cool.
	10:36pm ultradamno: ...to be all silicon valley about it, I guess.
	10:37pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't know either band, Thomas Dolby just compelled me to yell SCIENCE!
	10:38pm Carmichael: Heya Kat. @Handy, what Sacramento band?
	10:39pm Handy Haversack: Soft Science, Carm. Second-to-last song.
	10:39pm Julie M: You get a haha for that one, Kat. That's exactly what I thought when I saw your post.
	10:39pm ultradamno: ...or Mr. Science by Mr. Science (of Dow Jones & The Industrials fame) www.youtube.com...
	10:40pm ultradamno: ...err "fame".
	10:42pm P-90: Did I miss “Put the Needle on the Cannoli”?
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: I got Kate an xkcd T-shirt that has the graph of the COBE projections on the back and on the front "SCIENCE! It works, bitches!" It's a good one. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:45pm Carmichael: Never heard of them, or their previous iteration.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: thanks Julie :)
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, efd and all.
	10:50pm Bootsie: Wow, I don't recall this Bollock Brothers track!
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Handy!
	10:50pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, Gaylord, SteveL, Handy, and all funkers inside the bunker
	10:51pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P! You gotta see this card Kate's making for Em. A work of art. Hey, Jack!
	10:52pm Stevel: Gee. I was debating a post punk dilemma earlier. Seems someone has risen to the challenge.
	10:52pm Stevel: Hey Jack. Staying well, I hope?
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: BTW, Jack, not taking any responsibility for the bunker funk. That was, uh, Scott. Yeah, Scott!
	10:52pm ian/london: Happy Birthday to a couple of my favorite mates...Michael Rother...and John Zorn...thanks Evan...
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Looking forward to it! I have to get you some sort of signature. I'll get on that tomorrow during virtual meetings. Starting the work thing again tomorrow.
	10:54pm Stevel: Funky Bunker. Feels good to say it. Funky Bunker. Yeah
	10:56pm DouglasInDallas: Loving the set EFD. (Thought Dionne's cat was end of Confidence Man lol.) Been a minute since I heard that Bollock Bros track...suhweeeeet
	10:57pm efd: Thank you Douglas!
	10:59pm Stevel: DouglasInDallas: I will do you (or your avitar's) bidding. #Hypnotoad
	11:01pm mariano: Mr. Pumpy!
	11:04pm Jason From Baker Street: Steinski!
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: We want to be free! To say the F word -- without being hassled by the man!
	11:08pm ultradamno: Creamo Coyl has a suggestion for your Bandcamp funds twitter.com...
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Georgetown Records
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Greetings from the West Coast!
	11:09pm iiibeat: Uhh . . Time is space.
	11:10pm iiibeat: Cheese.
	11:10pm mariano: Handy: And we wanna get loaded, and have a good time!
	11:11pm mariano: Did somebody say "loaded"? Where's my weed vape...
	11:11pm iiibeat: If you walk across the room . . It took time (space) to do it.
	11:13pm ultradamno: Get one of those aah-ooo-gah horns to mix it up, maybe one of those submarine alarms...
	11:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hark, the Social Media Airhorn™!
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: @ultradamno, already on that Max Ernst tip. At least one cat here is NOT a fan of the social media air horn.
	11:15pm Jason From Baker Street: Also needs the sad foghorn, aka The Eeyore
	11:16pm ultradamno: We'll turn this show into a morning zoo yet.
	11:16pm efd: I will look into refreshing my airhorn(s).
	11:16pm Jason From Baker Street: (horn honk) (slide whsitle) (boing)
	11:22pm mariano: A-ooga! A-ooga!
	11:24pm Kat in Chicago: I snuck this one (So and So) into my show a couple weeks back, efd :)
	11:24pm Hoboken Jack: I may belatedly become a Fiery Furnaces fan. She won me over as a solo artist.
	11:25pm Kat in Chicago: I never quite connected with them, but this gives me some feelings
	11:25pm mariano: Max Ernst! A buddy of mine years ago, an antiques dealer, was in an antiques shop in San Francisco. Found a small, curious sculpture, bought it for peanuts. He saw what the seller didn't see for some reason: Max Ernst's signature carved into one corner. Someone offered him ten grand on the spot the same day.
	11:26pm Kat in Chicago: OMG mariano that is quite a find. did he sell?
	11:26pm efd: haa, nice one Kat! I think it works! @Hoboken Jack it's never too late! They're pretty good.
	11:26pm Bootsie: I came back to this page to click the star on Fiery Furnaces and see I already did at some point!
	11:27pm Kat in Chicago: that happens to me all the time, Bootsie!
	11:27pm efd: still, you came back just in time Bootsie!
	11:28pm Handy Haversack: SPOX (h/t, Rev. Turnip Druid.)
	11:29pm mariano: Not right away, Kat. He eventually got rid of it for around 30K iirc. They're an interesting group, antiques dealers. I knew a few of them at one point. They all have a story or two like that. I saw the sculpture (he came right over to my house after he bought it to brag), didn't look like much but if you've got a good eye...
	11:29pm Stevel: Sparks may be proof of an intelligent universe. Or not. They are definitely a force for good.
	11:29pm Bootsie: @EFD yes I hear!!
	11:30pm Chop Scott: Hearing Sparks always makes me happy!
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, is that how you say Sparks with a mouth full of carrot cake?
	11:33pm sufferwords: geeze for the love of home town favorites Sparks - always top notch
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: That's my best guess, Kat!
	11:39pm Mr. Pumpy: ganser = dope!
	11:40pm iiibeat: You also need . . The . . Leg horn . . For the . . Fog horn . . It is sad . . What I said. But space . . What is Space . . Space is funking unfathomable!!!! Hahaha
	11:52pm Bootsie: Yes, another fave!!
	11:52pm Stevel: Name a sharper band than the Godfathers.
	11:52pm javakid: been listening all evening - great show efd - and the godfathers are a fav. thank you.
	11:53pm javakid: @Stevel I'll put them next to the Screaming Blue Messiahs....
	11:53pm Bootsie: @Stevel they were sharp both times I saw them live as well!
	11:54pm Stevel: So damned good! So rough.
	11:54pm ultradamno: I saw The Screaming Blue Messiahs, I'll give them the nod off what they were live.
	11:55pm efd: and the secret weapon that The Godfathers and Screaming Blue Messiahs have in common: the legendary and brilliant producer Vic Maile
	11:55pm mariano: Thank you efd, great show! Thank you Sweatsh- er I mean Skeleton Scott, take care everyone!
	11:55pm efd: nuts, I forgot I was playing an actual record!
	11:55pm Stevel: [rising up with lighter in hand]
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Dang, it's late! Thanks, efd -- this was a real pick-Handy-up of a show. Fantastic stuff. Much appreciated. Thanks, Scott! Be well, all. Mariano, you remember to carry that got! dang! one!
	11:56pm Stevel: efd: Also Motorhead?
	11:56pm efd: @Stevel yep!
	11:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Evan. G'night all. Work tomorrow for the first time in a bit...The Godfathers tune was apropos!
	11:57pm mariano: Gott im Himmel!
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Evan! Thanks, Scott!
	11:58pm mariano: Oh wow, Mr. P. - back on the chain gang. Have a good first day back!
	11:58pm Stevel: Great show as usual. Thank you efd, thank you Skeletons! OK, thank you Ken, I mean, why not? So very much appreciated to have real radio alive and moving during fucked up times.
	12:01am Handy Haversack: Good luck, Mr. P! Hot mic alert!
	11:03am sufferwords: did a

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 2, 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!

September 2, 2020: live from Studio E(FD): themeless

	9:05pm wfmu listener phillip: mister "funk" I hope to NEVER hear KC & the sunshine band on WFMU's airwaves ever again!!
	9:06pm efd: @phillip I will only disappoint you.
	9:07pm Kat in Chicago: Remembering Art Brut playing Formed A Band at Pitchfork festival in the Chicago summer sun. "this IS my singing voice!"
	9:07pm efd: such a great first single!
	9:08pm dave wuz here: band in woburn
	9:08pm Kat in Chicago: @Handy 9:03 HAHAHA I missed this at first, hilarious
	9:08pm Kat in Chicago: Captain MAGA-Roo
	9:09pm Kat in Chicago: I see a certified WFMU hit coming up
	9:09pm Michael in Montclair: Good evening EFD and everyone!
	9:10pm efd: I just realized I might be stepping on Scott Williams' new morning show feature with this one! Sorry Scott!
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Jeez, Kat, I misread your avatar as Sweet Corn Lizzie's! So sorry -- it's been a long couple of days! Also, Captain MAGO-roo! Amazing!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: Scott has a WFMU Hits feature? I don't wake up early enough for Wake these days.
	9:12pm Gaylord Fields: I've got on my boogie shoes and I'm ready to get down tonight, so keep it coming, efd!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: I did kinda wonder why you called me Lizzie, Handy, but it's a good name so I went with it
	9:13pm efd: @Gaylord I'm gonna keep it comin', love!
	9:13pm Chop Scott: Good Wednesday Evening EFD!
	9:14pm Handy Haversack: Really sorry, Kat. Like Dot Allison, I'm a wee strung out!
	9:14pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: That's the method by which I show a preference.
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: What's up, Handy, you okay? I haven't been on the boards much the last couple of days.
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: All good, Kat -- thanks! You know, just long days. Every night a Saturday, every morning a Monday. Yay, 2020!
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: I'm between engagements as of Friday, so I guess every day's gonna be Blursday till I can convince someone to let me work from home and give me health care
	9:19pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Kat, good luck. That's rough.
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Handy. I knew the end date and I have resources in the short term. I just don't want to settle for another temp gig, and I don't want to start riding the bus/train twice a day again if I can help it.
	9:21pm mndave: This x-ray spex track perfectly fits this time spent awaiting my plague test results.
	9:22pm Kat in Chicago: I hope you don't have the plague, mndave :(
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: We took the subway for the first time since March 16 last Friday. WEEEEEEIIIIIIRD. (Also: RIP, Tom Seaver. NYC salute.)
	9:24pm Scott Williams: @efd, it can't become a hit if you don't make it one! Starbreaker is totally yours.
	9:24pm CC: Some people kiss other people and make them sick... other people kiss some people and make them well..!.. think about it it's deep!!!!...;)
	9:25pm efd: darn tootin, Scott!
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: Evan, this is already your record breaking Sound of Summer year...and I think you can get one more in before the equinox.
	9:27pm Stevel: Good evening all. Facing a stiff challenge from the local public radio station WBOI, tonight featuring a post punk collection that started off pretty cool while I was in the car. Of course, everything's cooler in the car, or so they say. Starbreaker is an amazing thing. efd should probably get points.
	9:27pm Kat in Chicago: I got my swag, Scott! Thanks!!! Arrived on the very last day of August, which I consider "on time." (To be fair, it was super early last year.) The fun thing about waiting for it is that I forget half of what I asked for and then it's like "oh I forgot all about the Matt Warwick pizza tank top, cool!"
	9:28pm Aitch: Nice to hear You Am I.
	9:28pm efd: ooh, I might tune into that myself Stevel!
	9:28pm Kat in Chicago: Is there a rule about no Starbreaker after Labor Day?
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, not strict but I was definitely mindful of its approach.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: sabu had the Boston album.
	9:29pm Chop Scott: I thought it was Triumph for moment.
	9:29pm Stevel: Kat: Got mine about a month ago (I think. Its hazy.) It lifted my spirits for days. I left it in a pile on my desk.
	9:30pm efd: I just love how blatantly this rips o--- er, I mean, pays homage to Boston.
	9:30pm Handy Haversack: I think it's no Starbreaker after midnight, and never get Starbreaker wet.
	9:30pm Alex of Chicago: happy lovely summer evening during a pandemic wednesday
	9:31pm johnk77: enjoying this show @um we just said the same thing:>
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: Time doesn't wait for me. it keeps on going.
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: I was trying to think what the beginning reminded me of. Yes, this is definitely Boston-esque.
	9:31pm Julie M: Yes, thanks for the nice summer vibe music. But sad about Tom Seaver, too.
	9:32pm Alex of Chicago: yeah, like living on comm ave vibes
	9:32pm Stevel: Someone's gotta ride that second wave.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: Enjoying the somewhat cooler weather, Alex? I did run the AC for a couple of hours today but windows are open now.
	9:33pm Alex of Chicago: lol. i used to live a few doors down from aerosmith's apartment on comm ave. i can still hear the clang of the green line
	9:34pm Stevel: To be fair to BOston (not that anyone seems to be complaining) their sound popped right out of little radios. It had a punch. Dare I say, it was... ...more than...
	9:34pm Alex of Chicago: @kat it felt great on the dog walk this evening
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: I still love the first two Boston albums. I've played them too recently to spin them this week.
	9:36pm Scott Williams: Kat, happy to hear of your swag's safe arrival!
	9:36pm Julie M: Years and years ago (and years more), My sister was in a theological seminary in Maine, and her roommate had a bird that LOVED Boston. That bird was mesmerized by the music. He (or she) would drift off at the quiet part of "More than a Feeling" and then would go crazy in his (or her) cage when it got more raucous.
	9:38pm Alex of Chicago: i went to college in maine. and all of that comment holds up
	9:38pm Kat in Chicago: Safe and sound, Scott. I'm saving the meditation tape for tomorrow after I submit my unemployment claim.
	9:38pm Julie M: I hesitate to mention in this comment board, but the bird also seemed to like.... Dan Fogelberg.
	9:38pm CC: I never cared that much for Boston when they first came out... I thought they were too formulaic... capitalizing on riffs that had already been done... in retrospect I enjoy some of their songs now...???...:)
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: We're going to Maine next month. I'm going to play "More Than a Feeling" at every bird I see.
	9:39pm Aitch: That Hourly Daily record pretty good, but the one before, Hi-Fi Way is brilliant. Main man a Kinks head.
	9:40pm Julie M: Well, Handy, you have to be patient through the whole song to see if it has the right effect. But do it!
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: We're going to have a canoe, Julie M, so we'll paddle out to the middle of peaceful ponds and just let it rip and see which birds are the cool ones.
	9:41pm mariano: Hey efd, Scott, everyone!
	9:42pm Julie M: That sounds nice, Handy. What bird can resist?
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: That's a great idea for a Wake feature. I'll have to check the archive.
	9:43pm Scott Williams: The Hit List it is, very closely following Pop Roxx with EFD!
	9:44pm B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ: Why yes, here am! B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ. I would love to get my record collection back.
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Scott's "Hit List" is great -- and so is Evan's "Pop Roxx"! Jeez, I gotta get more sleep. I'm already close to sixteen hours of WFMU today.
	9:46pm mariano: That means you've got eight more hours of FMU left, yaaaay!
	9:47pm Kat in Chicago: I used to hear Pop Roxx when I actually got up early and went downtown for work, it's very good indeed.
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: You gotta carry the 1, Mariano.
	9:48pm CC: I remember when Loverboy first came out I thought they were just trying to sound like Foreigner???...:)
	9:48pm Handy Haversack: BTW, efd, I checked with my buddy Manny, and he agreed, "Yeah, Wetlands. Jesus." I think the "of all places" is implied!
	9:50pm efd: haha! ok, glad we're on the same page.
	9:50pm mariano: Hmph. Carry the 1. Well I never!
	9:55pm P-90: ahhhh... Wetlands...
	9:55pm efd: of all places!
	9:59pm Julie M: Wow, I must say, Evan that seemed like a seamless mix from dramarama to Psych Furs
	9:59pm Scott Williams: Handy, when are you guys gonna be in Maine? And where, roughly? I'll be there later this month. Is listener Melinda here?
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Ha! It always works! That was a heck of segue!
	9:59pm efd: thanks Julie!
	10:00pm efd: and thank you, Handy!
	10:00pm Handy Haversack: Scott! We're there like 9/17-21? In Penobscot, near Blue Hill. About 45 mins. down coast from Acadia. Where will you be?
	10:01pm Scott Williams: Sorry I'm delayed on the comments, I'm over there getting the rest of all y'all's swag out
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: No, no, Scott. We got our swag last week. You can stop!
	10:02pm mariano: Jeez, what kinda sweatshop is Ken running over there?
	10:03pm JM: I think the person recently spotted by LAX with a jet pack was EFD. Propelled by his selections.
	10:03pm Scott Williams: Handy: roughly 9/19-27, Portland-ish and the Sebago Lakes. Plant a flag in Cadillac Mountain for me!
	10:04pm Scott Williams: C'mon Mariano, you know we don't call em that name anymore! S-k-e-l-e-t-o-n-c-r-e-w
	10:05pm Handy Haversack: I'll e-mail, Scott. Maybe we can stop off in Portland-ish on the way home if you're there and wave giddily at one another!
	10:05pm efd: 'cause y'all are gonna look like skeletons by the time all that swag gets shipped out!
	10:07pm mariano: Whoops, right y'are, Scott. Nothing to see here folks, keep moving!
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: Big Joanie wishlisted for Bandcamp Friday!
	10:09pm Handy Haversack: "Cranes in the Sky" a Solange cover, Kate tells me.
	10:10pm SeanWStapleton: yup, Solange cover! great song.
	10:10pm ?: @Handy yes it is. @efd 91.1 just went bonkers static in JC
	10:12pm efd: anyone else listening (or trying) at 91.1?
	10:12pm efd: thanks for the Solange cover info, folks - clearly I'm a Solange-noramus.
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 and 91.9 both coming in strong in North Brooklyn (thanks, clouds!).
	10:14pm ultradamno: I don't mean to court controversy, but the bitches in coach are more fun.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: Haha ultradamno
	10:16pm Scott Williams: ? - haven't noticed any issues in JC, in-house or on-air. Anyone else report?
	10:17pm P-90: Haven’t heard this sublimely ridiculous track in ages...
	10:18pm ultradamno: So this was a year before Al Stewart had a hit with Year Of The Cat, coincidence?
	10:19pm efd: [hmm emoji]
	10:22pm Kat in Chicago: "sublimely ridiculous" is an apt description.
	10:22pm patrick321: @Scott & efd – that ? Was me earlier I’ve switched to .org but static condition continues in JC
	10:23pm patrick321: It was fine from 7:45 until 10 mins ago. Might be weird interference I live in a tower
	10:24pm ultradamno: Ian Mitchell of The Bay City Rollers has died www.wtsp.com...
	10:25pm Scott Williams: Thanks Patrick - it would seem to be specific to your location (for the moment!) This part of waterfront JC is solid
	10:26pm Handy Haversack: Just checked the bathroom boombox again -- both stations strong here still.
	10:27pm efd: that little hiccup was me hitting the wrong button
	10:27pm Chop Scott: 91.1 air signal is solid in Brooklyn--no interruption here.
	10:29pm ledzeppelinsucks: this is a good song
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: efd, the playlist says "soft shoulder" -- someone's driving too much!
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: (That's just science!)
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: SCIENCE!
	10:31pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and people.
	10:31pm efd: haha, I thought I'd fixed that! Thanks Handy
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Carm
	10:32pm Handy Haversack: Did the Sacramento band summon you, Carmichael? Hope you're staying cool.
	10:36pm ultradamno: ...to be all silicon valley about it, I guess.
	10:37pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't know either band, Thomas Dolby just compelled me to yell SCIENCE!
	10:38pm Carmichael: Heya Kat. @Handy, what Sacramento band?
	10:39pm Handy Haversack: Soft Science, Carm. Second-to-last song.
	10:39pm Julie M: You get a haha for that one, Kat. That's exactly what I thought when I saw your post.
	10:39pm ultradamno: ...or Mr. Science by Mr. Science (of Dow Jones & The Industrials fame) www.youtube.com...
	10:40pm ultradamno: ...err "fame".
	10:42pm P-90: Did I miss “Put the Needle on the Cannoli”?
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: I got Kate an xkcd T-shirt that has the graph of the COBE projections on the back and on the front "SCIENCE! It works, bitches!" It's a good one. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:45pm Carmichael: Never heard of them, or their previous iteration.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: thanks Julie :)
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, efd and all.
	10:50pm Bootsie: Wow, I don't recall this Bollock Brothers track!
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Handy!
	10:50pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, Gaylord, SteveL, Handy, and all funkers inside the bunker
	10:51pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P! You gotta see this card Kate's making for Em. A work of art. Hey, Jack!
	10:52pm Stevel: Gee. I was debating a post punk dilemma earlier. Seems someone has risen to the challenge.
	10:52pm Stevel: Hey Jack. Staying well, I hope?
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: BTW, Jack, not taking any responsibility for the bunker funk. That was, uh, Scott. Yeah, Scott!
	10:52pm ian/london: Happy Birthday to a couple of my favorite mates...Michael Rother...and John Zorn...thanks Evan...
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Looking forward to it! I have to get you some sort of signature. I'll get on that tomorrow during virtual meetings. Starting the work thing again tomorrow.
	10:54pm Stevel: Funky Bunker. Feels good to say it. Funky Bunker. Yeah
	10:56pm DouglasInDallas: Loving the set EFD. (Thought Dionne's cat was end of Confidence Man lol.) Been a minute since I heard that Bollock Bros track...suhweeeeet
	10:57pm efd: Thank you Douglas!
	10:59pm Stevel: DouglasInDallas: I will do you (or your avitar's) bidding. #Hypnotoad
	11:01pm mariano: Mr. Pumpy!
	11:04pm Jason From Baker Street: Steinski!
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: We want to be free! To say the F word -- without being hassled by the man!
	11:08pm ultradamno: Creamo Coyl has a suggestion for your Bandcamp funds twitter.com...
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Georgetown Records
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Greetings from the West Coast!
	11:09pm iiibeat: Uhh . . Time is space.
	11:10pm iiibeat: Cheese.
	11:10pm mariano: Handy: And we wanna get loaded, and have a good time!
	11:11pm mariano: Did somebody say "loaded"? Where's my weed vape...
	11:11pm iiibeat: If you walk across the room . . It took time (space) to do it.
	11:13pm ultradamno: Get one of those aah-ooo-gah horns to mix it up, maybe one of those submarine alarms...
	11:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hark, the Social Media Airhorn™!
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: @ultradamno, already on that Max Ernst tip. At least one cat here is NOT a fan of the social media air horn.
	11:15pm Jason From Baker Street: Also needs the sad foghorn, aka The Eeyore
	11:16pm ultradamno: We'll turn this show into a morning zoo yet.
	11:16pm efd: I will look into refreshing my airhorn(s).
	11:16pm Jason From Baker Street: (horn honk) (slide whsitle) (boing)
	11:22pm mariano: A-ooga! A-ooga!
	11:24pm Kat in Chicago: I snuck this one (So and So) into my show a couple weeks back, efd :)
	11:24pm Hoboken Jack: I may belatedly become a Fiery Furnaces fan. She won me over as a solo artist.
	11:25pm Kat in Chicago: I never quite connected with them, but this gives me some feelings
	11:25pm mariano: Max Ernst! A buddy of mine years ago, an antiques dealer, was in an antiques shop in San Francisco. Found a small, curious sculpture, bought it for peanuts. He saw what the seller didn't see for some reason: Max Ernst's signature carved into one corner. Someone offered him ten grand on the spot the same day.
	11:26pm Kat in Chicago: OMG mariano that is quite a find. did he sell?
	11:26pm efd: haa, nice one Kat! I think it works! @Hoboken Jack it's never too late! They're pretty good.
	11:26pm Bootsie: I came back to this page to click the star on Fiery Furnaces and see I already did at some point!
	11:27pm Kat in Chicago: that happens to me all the time, Bootsie!
	11:27pm efd: still, you came back just in time Bootsie!
	11:28pm Handy Haversack: SPOX (h/t, Rev. Turnip Druid.)
	11:29pm mariano: Not right away, Kat. He eventually got rid of it for around 30K iirc. They're an interesting group, antiques dealers. I knew a few of them at one point. They all have a story or two like that. I saw the sculpture (he came right over to my house after he bought it to brag), didn't look like much but if you've got a good eye...
	11:29pm Stevel: Sparks may be proof of an intelligent universe. Or not. They are definitely a force for good.
	11:29pm Bootsie: @EFD yes I hear!!
	11:30pm Chop Scott: Hearing Sparks always makes me happy!
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, is that how you say Sparks with a mouth full of carrot cake?
	11:33pm sufferwords: geeze for the love of home town favorites Sparks - always top notch
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: That's my best guess, Kat!
	11:39pm Mr. Pumpy: ganser = dope!
	11:40pm iiibeat: You also need . . The . . Leg horn . . For the . . Fog horn . . It is sad . . What I said. But space . . What is Space . . Space is funking unfathomable!!!! Hahaha
	11:52pm Bootsie: Yes, another fave!!
	11:52pm Stevel: Name a sharper band than the Godfathers.
	11:52pm javakid: been listening all evening - great show efd - and the godfathers are a fav. thank you.
	11:53pm javakid: @Stevel I'll put them next to the Screaming Blue Messiahs....
	11:53pm Bootsie: @Stevel they were sharp both times I saw them live as well!
	11:54pm Stevel: So damned good! So rough.
	11:54pm ultradamno: I saw The Screaming Blue Messiahs, I'll give them the nod off what they were live.
	11:55pm efd: and the secret weapon that The Godfathers and Screaming Blue Messiahs have in common: the legendary and brilliant producer Vic Maile
	11:55pm mariano: Thank you efd, great show! Thank you Sweatsh- er I mean Skeleton Scott, take care everyone!
	11:55pm efd: nuts, I forgot I was playing an actual record!
	11:55pm Stevel: [rising up with lighter in hand]
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Dang, it's late! Thanks, efd -- this was a real pick-Handy-up of a show. Fantastic stuff. Much appreciated. Thanks, Scott! Be well, all. Mariano, you remember to carry that got! dang! one!
	11:56pm Stevel: efd: Also Motorhead?
	11:56pm efd: @Stevel yep!
	11:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Evan. G'night all. Work tomorrow for the first time in a bit...The Godfathers tune was apropos!
	11:57pm mariano: Gott im Himmel!
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Evan! Thanks, Scott!
	11:58pm mariano: Oh wow, Mr. P. - back on the chain gang. Have a good first day back!
	11:58pm Stevel: Great show as usual. Thank you efd, thank you Skeletons! OK, thank you Ken, I mean, why not? So very much appreciated to have real radio alive and moving during fucked up times.
	12:01am Handy Haversack: Good luck, Mr. P! Hot mic alert!
	11:03am sufferwords: did a
