WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 9, 2020

Listener comments!
	9:02pm Uncle Michael: hello!
	9:03pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Ahhhhh, so glad to be here, friends!
	9:03pm efd: Hi! I was starting to think I was alone, now
	9:03pm Pedro in Arlington: Yankees are up 5-2 top of 8th. I envy the Jays broadcasters being in Canada though the game is in Buffalo.
	9:04pm Handy Haversack: Never, efd! Yankee broadcasters in NYC, I think, Pedro, at least the radio team (Ma 'n' Pa Yankee).
	9:04pm Michael in Montclair: Hello efd!
	9:05pm Michael Shelley: way to open strong!
	9:05pm Gaylord Fields: What Michael Shelley said.
	9:07pm Pedro in Arlington: Right @Handy. Away teams broadcasters don't travel. But the Jays couldn't play in Canada. I guess their crews had the choice. I'd choose Canada.
	9:07pm efd: thank you, friends, and greetings!
	9:07pm Stevel: I had one BJH album. Their vocals are pleasantly mournful. How is that possible?
	9:07pm P-90: Evan always opens strong.
	9:08pm Handy Haversack: I keep trying, Pedro -- I learned to canoe! They still won't let me in.
	9:08pm patrick321: Hey and a good evening efd and funk fans
	9:08pm javakid: good evening all
	9:09pm Handy Haversack: It was a good Pop Roxx this morning, Evan!
	9:10pm Stevel: So, what was with the One of These Nights guitar solo in rnr Star?
	9:10pm BH: (off-topic post about the concept of team broadcasters continuing to broadcast off of a monitor even post-pandemic)
	9:10pm efd: @Stevel you'll have to take that up with Barclay. Or James.
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Or Bartles and James.
	9:12pm efd: glad you enjoyed the Pop Roxx Handy, thanks!
	9:12pm patrick321: @stevel, the wife points out The Smiths are often pleasantly mournful, as is a lot of Radiohead. Choice of key, I think.
	9:14pm P-90: @Stevel: now you know where Felder cribbed it from.
	9:14pm efd: @BH I just saw that the Orlando, I think, NBA team fired their radio announcers for next season and will simulcast the TV audio on the radio. Kind of along the same lines.
	9:15pm Stevel: P-90: I'm so curious. Release dates within a year of each other. Who knows when stuff was written/conceived?
	9:16pm mariano: Hey efd, Crew, everyone.
	9:16pm Mailman Tom: This song is just what I needed to hear!
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, grim news, efd.
	9:19pm BH: There's some baseball broadcasters who broadcast various other sports (Jason Benetti, the White Sox broadcaster being one) and remote broadcasting meant that he was able to do a college football game and baseball game on the same day. having teams broadcast teams not travel is what teams used to do before it became more realistic to have them travel with the teams. But they're not re-creating the road games off of the wire this year. So there's that.
	9:20pm Scott Williams: Just this afternoon, I gaped slack-jawed at just how many Shoes records the FMU library has! Their sheer numbers cover up the embarrassment that is their neighbor Silver Blue
	9:21pm Handy Haversack: It does create more opportunities for MAS*H-style Armed Forces Radio baseball signal hijacking, BH. So there's that.
	9:22pm Sam Pocker: listening while coloring again, sounds great so far Evan
	9:22pm javakid: this takes me back to my youth
	9:22pm efd: cool, thanks Sam!
	9:22pm efd: Scott, I can't believe that Silver Blue record is even in the library.
	9:24pm Bootsie: Wow, I'm liking this arrangement of "For You." Is this the LP version?
	9:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Howdy from the dark lands of California
	9:24pm efd: Manfred Mann trying to catch that Springsteen lighting in a bottle for the third (at least) time...
	9:24pm Scott Williams: Evan, I can't believe it's in YOUR library! And wow, 1980 Manfred Mann is a major flashback! Was this on rotation at WAPP
	9:25pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Tbh I like the Manfred Mann versions much more
	9:25pm ultradamno: That sounds dirty.
	9:25pm Handy Haversack: Seems like thematically and alphabetically, this might be the closest we get to Marillion.
	9:25pm Matt_E: Hello (cough cough) from beautiful Seattle (cough)
	9:26pm javakid: When I was 12 I would get Manfred Mann mixed up with Meatloaf. Their "earnest meter" was always near tilt.
	9:26pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey dere
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: Followup to Blinded By The Light...not quite as big a hit for MMEB.
	9:26pm Scott Williams: MMEB updating their Bruce with doses of Loverboy and .38 Special
	9:27pm efd: Wasn't "Spirit In The Night" the direct follow-up to "Blinded..."? Or was that earlier?
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: .38 Special! Has anyone done Flirtin' With Disaster at Hoof n Mouth, Scott?
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: Phillippe!
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: You're probably right, Evan.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: Blinded/Spirit were a and b sides to each other!
	9:29pm Phillippe Bastille: Whassup Handyman? And hey UM, mariano.
	9:30pm efd: oh! That's an interesting choice.
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: DJs must have flipped it. Spirit was re-released as a single after Blinded.
	9:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: UM, Flirtin with Disaster was Molly Hatchet!
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: DAMMIT, Lizzie!
	9:31pm Scott Williams: UM, yes: Scharpling. And also, Flirting With Disaster is ^^
	9:31pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Sorry!
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: Also, hey, Lizzie and Mariano!
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: I'm such a putz!
	9:32pm efd: UM, I think "Hold On Loosely" is all yours though!
	9:32pm Uncle Michael: hah!
	9:32pm mariano: Hey Phillippe, Handy!
	9:33pm ultradamno: I think Ted and Carol got pushed out of that title.
	9:33pm Uncle Michael: the affectives have exceeded my expectations. this is great!
	9:33pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hey Handy! UM efd has your number
	9:33pm spodiodi: hi hi efd and funky ppl
	9:34pm Phillippe Bastille: spodiodi!
	9:35pm slowbear: listening from burning california
	9:36pm Handy Haversack: How's the air, spod? Any better? The Affectives a huge hit around these parts. Please don't blow the horn yet! We're not prepared!
	9:38pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD! Joining late and intermittently.
	9:39pm spodiodi: how are things on the bay, Phillippe? Handy, the sky is still pretty ugly, aqi says 95... it's lighter now at 630 than it was much of the rest of the day (and there's fog now too) -- i guess it's fading a biit, as expected. but who knows? it's been better than most days, air quality-wise.
	9:39pm slowbear: the air is not great in socal, fire in azusa is supposed to burn until oct 15
	9:39pm spodiodi: slowbear, aloha from smoky sf
	9:40pm spodiodi: and it's still pretty orange
	9:40pm slowbear: dry santa ana winds haven't even hit yet, they dry up all the mountain growth and make everything more flammable
	9:40pm slowbear: thanks for the love efd!
	9:40pm CC: West Coast needs the same kind of rain we've had for about the last 24 hours!!!...:/
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: Orange is a color comforting only on oranges.
	9:41pm Elle Tor's Husband: From the Bay Area...the sun never came out today. At noon is was almost as dark as night.this is what got the dinosaurs...
	9:42pm slowbear: bay area looked surreal from the images
	9:42pm spodiodi: and maybe orange creamsicles
	9:43pm spodiodi: hear ya, Elle Tor's Husband
	9:43pm Figgsrock: EFD, don’t forget to rank the two versions of “Spirit in the Night” MMEB did. (The 1976 album version and the 1977 single version have different singers!)
	9:43pm spodiodi: the background image of my avatar was taken from my window 1t 845am today
	9:44pm ultradamno: I recall when Indianapolis' premiere new wave/punk club Crazy Al's closed there was a interview with the owners in the local paper and they were asked who was most difficult to deal with and Shoes was the only answer "no 'THE' but they'll never play here so I'll call them whatever I want..."
	9:44pm Scott Williams: Ha! EFD, if you bought that at PREx, that's the very copy I almost bought a few weeks ago. LP is indeed in the FMU library
	9:45pm slowbear: sunset looks like the lion king in socal rn
	9:46pm Figgsrock: Oops — I meant to say 1975 album version and 1977 single version.
	9:46pm Chop Scott: Good Wednesday Evening EFD & Brother Scott!
	9:47pm Jay S.: Chris Darway was previously in the Critters, then Johnny's Dance Band.
	9:47pm Scott Williams: Cheers, Brother Chop!
	9:47pm efd: @Scott W, that's it! Pretty funny. It was still sealed!
	9:47pm ultradamno: I picked up a few things at Bandcamp too and especially recommend the Messer Chups' Lost Tracks early odds and ends collection...
	9:48pm JR HTX: So glad you're staying on Wednesdays.
	9:48pm efd: Jay S, thanks for that info!
	9:48pm Bootsie: OMG stop the American Woman and the airhorn and the TALKING!!
	9:50pm efd: HAHAAA!
	9:50pm efd: I was thinking about that guy, too
	9:50pm Bootsie: hehehe :-D
	9:50pm Uncle Michael: No no no...the next time you run out of American Woman, just start shouting over the airhorn.
	9:51pm ultradamno: I got a fever and the only prescription is more airhorn!
	9:54pm Handy Haversack: In this context, ultradamno, that's a social disease.
	9:56pm ultradamno: Is that why I hear it from down there. Ouch.
	9:58pm Bootsie: @ Uncle Michael that's the perfect solution!
	10:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Ronald "Khalis" Bell of Kool & the Gang - www.rollingstone.com...
	10:03pm Handy Haversack: I clicky-starred this Cool Grenhouse before -- why did I not remember to get it on Friday? This feels like everybody's fault but mine.
	10:03pm Ciggy: Summer Madness
	10:04pm CC: Air conditioned sunrooms are pretty cool..!..:)
	10:06pm Michael Shelley: I know that dude!
	10:08pm ultradamno: RIP Bell
	10:08pm Handy Haversack: Michael Shelley knows Superchunk?!
	10:09pm ultradamno: The Supercool Chunkhouse, I think.
	10:13pm efd: sorry to hear about Ron Bell. Jersey City's own, I believe.
	10:26pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm loving the Spy Hunter feel right now. I wanna release an oil slick and pull into the trailer of a semi. That's not even speaking to what I want to do while driving!
	10:27pm Handy Haversack: You only live thrice, Mr. P!
	10:29pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...really? I'm done then...
	10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: The Postman Only Rings Thrice...that I know! If you're in a good zip code.
	10:31pm ultradamno: Cornershop were born seven times and cats get a whole nine, so don't despair.
	10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, this is the band I mentioned over the weekend. I'm digging. ganser.bandcamp.com
	10:33pm efd: Ganser are great! I played a cut from their new album on last week's show.
	10:34pm Handy Haversack: I was here when it happened. I am vouching for all of this!
	10:35pm Ciggy: Great set.
	10:36pm Kat in Chicago: Been tuned to WFMU since 8:30 Central, but this is my first comment of the day. I got ambitious and deep-cleaned my bathroom today, among other domestic tasks, instead of opening the laptop. Till now :)
	10:37pm Kat in Chicago: *8:30 am
	10:38pm spodiodi: hello, Kat, and congrats! that's inspirational
	10:39pm Kat in Chicago: I probably should have been online looking for work, but I'll feel so much more like doing that tomorrow knowing my bathroom is clean.
	10:40pm bo: no daniel Blumin!
	10:40pm Mr. Pumpy: efd, yes! That was what turned me onto them, and I was talking with Handy over the weekend and trying to remember the name. I was saying that the vocals remind me of his partner Kate's...of the almighty Creek and Kills! Of course he may see that as much as when someone tells me I look like this or that person. Anyhow, I heard it, but I know how that goes. Thanks, Evan!
	10:41pm ultradamno: I've forgotten why we were talking about Sorcerer but here's a link to their release of F/i's excellent Space Mantra album sorcererrecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:41pm Kat in Chicago: I have to admit the new show in Blumin's slot sounds highly relevant to my interests. But so is Daniel's show :(
	10:42pm Kat in Chicago: um... listeners??????
	10:42pm ultradamno: I will be missing Blumin and Adriene/Blind Tourist, which I was hoping would be back...
	10:43pm Kat in Chicago: Ken already knows I do great station IDs... Yeah, Blind Tourist was something special.
	10:43pm Mr. Pumpy: Kat...I haven't checked it out yet. I have been quite busy and not all that active as a listener, and the schedule seems to have undergone quite the shakeup recently!
	10:44pm ultradamno: Zenith disc jockey record player, which I'm guessing all the shows are using twitter.com...
	10:44pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, really going to miss Blumin. And Nate. And Keilidh, consarnit, what a loss! And I was also really hoping the Blind Tourist would come back. I dig Mon Amie's shows, but Keilidh's show was fantastically great and there's nothing else like it on the station. I feel that loss hard.
	10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: Yes, Blind Tourist was a great show, and for me...at a great time. Time and day! It sent me places.
	10:45pm Kat in Chicago: I'm sure the Zenith Disc Jockey sounded awful, but it's gorgeous.
	10:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Okay...goodnight all. Great Church cover. Thanks efd!
	10:47pm Stevel: Righteous cover.
	10:47pm Kat in Chicago: g'night Mr. Pumpy!
	10:48pm Bootsie: I'm happy my Wednesday night trifecta is still in place... plus Suzy is staying on and Billy Jam is back on Fridays!!
	10:48pm Bootsie: Nice cover!
	10:48pm spodiodi: night, Mr. Pumpy, thanks for getting Spy Hunter on my mind
	10:48pm patrick321: This is great.
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: Later, Mr. P!
	10:49pm spodiodi: Peter Gunn ftw <3
	10:50pm spodiodi: Handy, i hadn't heard about Keilidh until you mentioned. harsh.
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, spod. That stings. Hope all is well with her.
	10:52pm Chop Scott: Losing Daniel Blumin is a terrible blow.
	10:56pm ultradamno: Sure, you can't lose with Peter Gunn.
	10:57pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Chop Scott, no other show like his on the station. That one's rough, too!
	10:57pm van chinski: Oh, hell. I'm bummed Keilidh isn't on the new schedule.
	11:01pm Bootsie: @van chinski oh damn I missed that :'(
	11:02pm Chop Scott: Yes EFD--Dogmatics were a very active and solid Boston band into the mid-1980's. Great to hear Jerry is still at it!
	11:04pm ZeeBee: holy moly a litter of ~3 week old kittens cme into my yard today during the climate change snow we had and i was able to rescue one but the others ran away, but i just saw them again now!!!! poor babies! a bit over my head but i cant let these little ones freeze
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: I think nine, ten years now since New Model Army decided that U.S. visa fees were too expensive? They can afford Turkey, Argentina, Iceland, Brazil. But not New York, nope. Sigh.
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago: I remember when the Limiñanas played your show, Evan! didn't you have another band or interview or something that night as well? I seem to remember it was a busy show.
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago: thank you for looking out for the kittens ZeeBee!
	11:08pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy EFD, Scott, Michael, Gaylord, Sam, Uncle, SteveL, Handy, HP Ken, everybody. DJs and fave shows come and go (and sometimes return), the constant evolution is something that makes WFMU so wonderful.
	11:08pm Chop Scott: A Liminanas track from that very session on EFD appears on the Transmissions from the Love Room LP the station issued as premium in 2019!
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: You're right, Chop, I almost forgot!
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	11:09pm Hoboken Jack: I wonder if I'm the only one who ever confused Babiuk and Babjak.
	11:10pm efd: @Kat you're right, they were touring with (and sharing backup band members with) another band, Gaz Gaz I think they were called? They were good too!
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago: I don't think that's the band name but I can't remember what it was. I do remember they were playing together as you said!
	11:13pm efd: maybe that was the name of their single that I have... now I need to remember their name!
	11:14pm efd: I think it was Gaz Gaz!
	11:17pm Kat in Chicago: You're right! It was, I just found it on the interwebs. Also, you had an APB live set the same night, that's what I was thinking of.
	11:19pm efd: oh wow, that I didn't remember! I wonder if they were both live...??? I can't remember now.
	11:20pm Kat in Chicago: I think Limiñanas were live and APB was recorded. I'm gonna have to go back and listen to that show again.
	11:23pm Kat in Chicago: oh no, be careful! fingers are important
	11:26pm Jason from Houston: ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱ ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱ ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	11:27pm Scott Williams: "link in playlist", ha!
	11:28pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	11:28pm ultradamno: The preorder of this was one of my Bandcamp purchases.
	11:29pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:29pm efd: same!
	11:30pm Jason from Houston: ꒰˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩ ꒱ ♡
	11:31pm Mike: Does anyone know the identity of "MT Heart", the drummer listed on the Victims album?
	11:31pm Jason from Houston: No hearts allowed. Hahaha...
	11:35pm Mike Sin: Hello! How did RSD go down for everyone at the end of Aug. Nothing for me. First in a long time. Been hitting record stores but mainly for impulse/spontaneous buying. I must admit, it’s been online shopping for the very specific stuff.
	11:37pm Kat in Chicago: I haven't done a RSD for a while now.
	11:40pm efd: yeah, I don't usually take part in RSD either. I did go down to Princeton Record Exchange on Saturday- short wait to get in due to capacity restrictions, and there were maybe 8-10 people in line waiting to get in when I left.
	11:41pm Kat in Chicago: Patti Kane goes into the wishlist
	11:43pm Kat in Chicago: I'm not taking more buses or waiting in more lines than I have to, so RSD was not something I truly considered this year. I'm still glad it took place and I hope it helped the record stores.
	11:52pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for the tunes, efd! Thanks to your Skeleton. Be well, all!
	11:54pm Stevel: What Handy said! So grateful for what makes WFMU happen. Peace.
	11:56pm spodiodi: many thanks, EFD for another great show! thanks, Skeleton Scott and the rest of the bony bunch. cheerio, everyone
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, EFD! Thanks, Scott - I retold your Danny Taylor story to a friend an hour ago, btw
	11:58pm Scott Williams: Thanks Kat! Those were Danny's own words, read verbatim from the liner notes to The Garden.
	11:59pm ultradamno: The Go-Go's movie is on in the morning...
	11:59pm ultradamno: Just over 8 hours from now.
	12:00am Mike From Brooklyn: Thank you EFD & Scott for a great show.
	12:00am P-90: Thanks efd!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 9, 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 9, 2020: live from Studio E(FD): seeing you in September

Listener comments!
	9:02pm Uncle Michael: hello!
	9:03pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Ahhhhh, so glad to be here, friends!
	9:03pm efd: Hi! I was starting to think I was alone, now
	9:03pm Pedro in Arlington: Yankees are up 5-2 top of 8th. I envy the Jays broadcasters being in Canada though the game is in Buffalo.
	9:04pm Handy Haversack: Never, efd! Yankee broadcasters in NYC, I think, Pedro, at least the radio team (Ma 'n' Pa Yankee).
	9:04pm Michael in Montclair: Hello efd!
	9:05pm Michael Shelley: way to open strong!
	9:05pm Gaylord Fields: What Michael Shelley said.
	9:07pm Pedro in Arlington: Right @Handy. Away teams broadcasters don't travel. But the Jays couldn't play in Canada. I guess their crews had the choice. I'd choose Canada.
	9:07pm efd: thank you, friends, and greetings!
	9:07pm Stevel: I had one BJH album. Their vocals are pleasantly mournful. How is that possible?
	9:07pm P-90: Evan always opens strong.
	9:08pm Handy Haversack: I keep trying, Pedro -- I learned to canoe! They still won't let me in.
	9:08pm patrick321: Hey and a good evening efd and funk fans
	9:08pm javakid: good evening all
	9:09pm Handy Haversack: It was a good Pop Roxx this morning, Evan!
	9:10pm Stevel: So, what was with the One of These Nights guitar solo in rnr Star?
	9:10pm BH: (off-topic post about the concept of team broadcasters continuing to broadcast off of a monitor even post-pandemic)
	9:10pm efd: @Stevel you'll have to take that up with Barclay. Or James.
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Or Bartles and James.
	9:12pm efd: glad you enjoyed the Pop Roxx Handy, thanks!
	9:12pm patrick321: @stevel, the wife points out The Smiths are often pleasantly mournful, as is a lot of Radiohead. Choice of key, I think.
	9:14pm P-90: @Stevel: now you know where Felder cribbed it from.
	9:14pm efd: @BH I just saw that the Orlando, I think, NBA team fired their radio announcers for next season and will simulcast the TV audio on the radio. Kind of along the same lines.
	9:15pm Stevel: P-90: I'm so curious. Release dates within a year of each other. Who knows when stuff was written/conceived?
	9:16pm mariano: Hey efd, Crew, everyone.
	9:16pm Mailman Tom: This song is just what I needed to hear!
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, grim news, efd.
	9:19pm BH: There's some baseball broadcasters who broadcast various other sports (Jason Benetti, the White Sox broadcaster being one) and remote broadcasting meant that he was able to do a college football game and baseball game on the same day. having teams broadcast teams not travel is what teams used to do before it became more realistic to have them travel with the teams. But they're not re-creating the road games off of the wire this year. So there's that.
	9:20pm Scott Williams: Just this afternoon, I gaped slack-jawed at just how many Shoes records the FMU library has! Their sheer numbers cover up the embarrassment that is their neighbor Silver Blue
	9:21pm Handy Haversack: It does create more opportunities for MAS*H-style Armed Forces Radio baseball signal hijacking, BH. So there's that.
	9:22pm Sam Pocker: listening while coloring again, sounds great so far Evan
	9:22pm javakid: this takes me back to my youth
	9:22pm efd: cool, thanks Sam!
	9:22pm efd: Scott, I can't believe that Silver Blue record is even in the library.
	9:24pm Bootsie: Wow, I'm liking this arrangement of "For You." Is this the LP version?
	9:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Howdy from the dark lands of California
	9:24pm efd: Manfred Mann trying to catch that Springsteen lighting in a bottle for the third (at least) time...
	9:24pm Scott Williams: Evan, I can't believe it's in YOUR library! And wow, 1980 Manfred Mann is a major flashback! Was this on rotation at WAPP
	9:25pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Tbh I like the Manfred Mann versions much more
	9:25pm ultradamno: That sounds dirty.
	9:25pm Handy Haversack: Seems like thematically and alphabetically, this might be the closest we get to Marillion.
	9:25pm Matt_E: Hello (cough cough) from beautiful Seattle (cough)
	9:26pm javakid: When I was 12 I would get Manfred Mann mixed up with Meatloaf. Their "earnest meter" was always near tilt.
	9:26pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey dere
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: Followup to Blinded By The Light...not quite as big a hit for MMEB.
	9:26pm Scott Williams: MMEB updating their Bruce with doses of Loverboy and .38 Special
	9:27pm efd: Wasn't "Spirit In The Night" the direct follow-up to "Blinded..."? Or was that earlier?
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: .38 Special! Has anyone done Flirtin' With Disaster at Hoof n Mouth, Scott?
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: Phillippe!
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: You're probably right, Evan.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: Blinded/Spirit were a and b sides to each other!
	9:29pm Phillippe Bastille: Whassup Handyman? And hey UM, mariano.
	9:30pm efd: oh! That's an interesting choice.
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: DJs must have flipped it. Spirit was re-released as a single after Blinded.
	9:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: UM, Flirtin with Disaster was Molly Hatchet!
	9:30pm Uncle Michael: DAMMIT, Lizzie!
	9:31pm Scott Williams: UM, yes: Scharpling. And also, Flirting With Disaster is ^^
	9:31pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Sorry!
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: Also, hey, Lizzie and Mariano!
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: I'm such a putz!
	9:32pm efd: UM, I think "Hold On Loosely" is all yours though!
	9:32pm Uncle Michael: hah!
	9:32pm mariano: Hey Phillippe, Handy!
	9:33pm ultradamno: I think Ted and Carol got pushed out of that title.
	9:33pm Uncle Michael: the affectives have exceeded my expectations. this is great!
	9:33pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hey Handy! UM efd has your number
	9:33pm spodiodi: hi hi efd and funky ppl
	9:34pm Phillippe Bastille: spodiodi!
	9:35pm slowbear: listening from burning california
	9:36pm Handy Haversack: How's the air, spod? Any better? The Affectives a huge hit around these parts. Please don't blow the horn yet! We're not prepared!
	9:38pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD! Joining late and intermittently.
	9:39pm spodiodi: how are things on the bay, Phillippe? Handy, the sky is still pretty ugly, aqi says 95... it's lighter now at 630 than it was much of the rest of the day (and there's fog now too) -- i guess it's fading a biit, as expected. but who knows? it's been better than most days, air quality-wise.
	9:39pm slowbear: the air is not great in socal, fire in azusa is supposed to burn until oct 15
	9:39pm spodiodi: slowbear, aloha from smoky sf
	9:40pm spodiodi: and it's still pretty orange
	9:40pm slowbear: dry santa ana winds haven't even hit yet, they dry up all the mountain growth and make everything more flammable
	9:40pm slowbear: thanks for the love efd!
	9:40pm CC: West Coast needs the same kind of rain we've had for about the last 24 hours!!!...:/
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: Orange is a color comforting only on oranges.
	9:41pm Elle Tor's Husband: From the Bay Area...the sun never came out today. At noon is was almost as dark as night.this is what got the dinosaurs...
	9:42pm slowbear: bay area looked surreal from the images
	9:42pm spodiodi: and maybe orange creamsicles
	9:43pm spodiodi: hear ya, Elle Tor's Husband
	9:43pm Figgsrock: EFD, don’t forget to rank the two versions of “Spirit in the Night” MMEB did. (The 1976 album version and the 1977 single version have different singers!)
	9:43pm spodiodi: the background image of my avatar was taken from my window 1t 845am today
	9:44pm ultradamno: I recall when Indianapolis' premiere new wave/punk club Crazy Al's closed there was a interview with the owners in the local paper and they were asked who was most difficult to deal with and Shoes was the only answer "no 'THE' but they'll never play here so I'll call them whatever I want..."
	9:44pm Scott Williams: Ha! EFD, if you bought that at PREx, that's the very copy I almost bought a few weeks ago. LP is indeed in the FMU library
	9:45pm slowbear: sunset looks like the lion king in socal rn
	9:46pm Figgsrock: Oops — I meant to say 1975 album version and 1977 single version.
	9:46pm Chop Scott: Good Wednesday Evening EFD & Brother Scott!
	9:47pm Jay S.: Chris Darway was previously in the Critters, then Johnny's Dance Band.
	9:47pm Scott Williams: Cheers, Brother Chop!
	9:47pm efd: @Scott W, that's it! Pretty funny. It was still sealed!
	9:47pm ultradamno: I picked up a few things at Bandcamp too and especially recommend the Messer Chups' Lost Tracks early odds and ends collection...
	9:48pm JR HTX: So glad you're staying on Wednesdays.
	9:48pm efd: Jay S, thanks for that info!
	9:48pm Bootsie: OMG stop the American Woman and the airhorn and the TALKING!!
	9:50pm efd: HAHAAA!
	9:50pm efd: I was thinking about that guy, too
	9:50pm Bootsie: hehehe :-D
	9:50pm Uncle Michael: No no no...the next time you run out of American Woman, just start shouting over the airhorn.
	9:51pm ultradamno: I got a fever and the only prescription is more airhorn!
	9:54pm Handy Haversack: In this context, ultradamno, that's a social disease.
	9:56pm ultradamno: Is that why I hear it from down there. Ouch.
	9:58pm Bootsie: @ Uncle Michael that's the perfect solution!
	10:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Ronald "Khalis" Bell of Kool & the Gang - www.rollingstone.com...
	10:03pm Handy Haversack: I clicky-starred this Cool Grenhouse before -- why did I not remember to get it on Friday? This feels like everybody's fault but mine.
	10:03pm Ciggy: Summer Madness
	10:04pm CC: Air conditioned sunrooms are pretty cool..!..:)
	10:06pm Michael Shelley: I know that dude!
	10:08pm ultradamno: RIP Bell
	10:08pm Handy Haversack: Michael Shelley knows Superchunk?!
	10:09pm ultradamno: The Supercool Chunkhouse, I think.
	10:13pm efd: sorry to hear about Ron Bell. Jersey City's own, I believe.
	10:26pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm loving the Spy Hunter feel right now. I wanna release an oil slick and pull into the trailer of a semi. That's not even speaking to what I want to do while driving!
	10:27pm Handy Haversack: You only live thrice, Mr. P!
	10:29pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...really? I'm done then...
	10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: The Postman Only Rings Thrice...that I know! If you're in a good zip code.
	10:31pm ultradamno: Cornershop were born seven times and cats get a whole nine, so don't despair.
	10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, this is the band I mentioned over the weekend. I'm digging. ganser.bandcamp.com
	10:33pm efd: Ganser are great! I played a cut from their new album on last week's show.
	10:34pm Handy Haversack: I was here when it happened. I am vouching for all of this!
	10:35pm Ciggy: Great set.
	10:36pm Kat in Chicago: Been tuned to WFMU since 8:30 Central, but this is my first comment of the day. I got ambitious and deep-cleaned my bathroom today, among other domestic tasks, instead of opening the laptop. Till now :)
	10:37pm Kat in Chicago: *8:30 am
	10:38pm spodiodi: hello, Kat, and congrats! that's inspirational
	10:39pm Kat in Chicago: I probably should have been online looking for work, but I'll feel so much more like doing that tomorrow knowing my bathroom is clean.
	10:40pm bo: no daniel Blumin!
	10:40pm Mr. Pumpy: efd, yes! That was what turned me onto them, and I was talking with Handy over the weekend and trying to remember the name. I was saying that the vocals remind me of his partner Kate's...of the almighty Creek and Kills! Of course he may see that as much as when someone tells me I look like this or that person. Anyhow, I heard it, but I know how that goes. Thanks, Evan!
	10:41pm ultradamno: I've forgotten why we were talking about Sorcerer but here's a link to their release of F/i's excellent Space Mantra album sorcererrecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:41pm Kat in Chicago: I have to admit the new show in Blumin's slot sounds highly relevant to my interests. But so is Daniel's show :(
	10:42pm Kat in Chicago: um... listeners??????
	10:42pm ultradamno: I will be missing Blumin and Adriene/Blind Tourist, which I was hoping would be back...
	10:43pm Kat in Chicago: Ken already knows I do great station IDs... Yeah, Blind Tourist was something special.
	10:43pm Mr. Pumpy: Kat...I haven't checked it out yet. I have been quite busy and not all that active as a listener, and the schedule seems to have undergone quite the shakeup recently!
	10:44pm ultradamno: Zenith disc jockey record player, which I'm guessing all the shows are using twitter.com...
	10:44pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, really going to miss Blumin. And Nate. And Keilidh, consarnit, what a loss! And I was also really hoping the Blind Tourist would come back. I dig Mon Amie's shows, but Keilidh's show was fantastically great and there's nothing else like it on the station. I feel that loss hard.
	10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: Yes, Blind Tourist was a great show, and for me...at a great time. Time and day! It sent me places.
	10:45pm Kat in Chicago: I'm sure the Zenith Disc Jockey sounded awful, but it's gorgeous.
	10:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Okay...goodnight all. Great Church cover. Thanks efd!
	10:47pm Stevel: Righteous cover.
	10:47pm Kat in Chicago: g'night Mr. Pumpy!
	10:48pm Bootsie: I'm happy my Wednesday night trifecta is still in place... plus Suzy is staying on and Billy Jam is back on Fridays!!
	10:48pm Bootsie: Nice cover!
	10:48pm spodiodi: night, Mr. Pumpy, thanks for getting Spy Hunter on my mind
	10:48pm patrick321: This is great.
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: Later, Mr. P!
	10:49pm spodiodi: Peter Gunn ftw <3
	10:50pm spodiodi: Handy, i hadn't heard about Keilidh until you mentioned. harsh.
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, spod. That stings. Hope all is well with her.
	10:52pm Chop Scott: Losing Daniel Blumin is a terrible blow.
	10:56pm ultradamno: Sure, you can't lose with Peter Gunn.
	10:57pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Chop Scott, no other show like his on the station. That one's rough, too!
	10:57pm van chinski: Oh, hell. I'm bummed Keilidh isn't on the new schedule.
	11:01pm Bootsie: @van chinski oh damn I missed that :'(
	11:02pm Chop Scott: Yes EFD--Dogmatics were a very active and solid Boston band into the mid-1980's. Great to hear Jerry is still at it!
	11:04pm ZeeBee: holy moly a litter of ~3 week old kittens cme into my yard today during the climate change snow we had and i was able to rescue one but the others ran away, but i just saw them again now!!!! poor babies! a bit over my head but i cant let these little ones freeze
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: I think nine, ten years now since New Model Army decided that U.S. visa fees were too expensive? They can afford Turkey, Argentina, Iceland, Brazil. But not New York, nope. Sigh.
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago: I remember when the Limiñanas played your show, Evan! didn't you have another band or interview or something that night as well? I seem to remember it was a busy show.
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago: thank you for looking out for the kittens ZeeBee!
	11:08pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy EFD, Scott, Michael, Gaylord, Sam, Uncle, SteveL, Handy, HP Ken, everybody. DJs and fave shows come and go (and sometimes return), the constant evolution is something that makes WFMU so wonderful.
	11:08pm Chop Scott: A Liminanas track from that very session on EFD appears on the Transmissions from the Love Room LP the station issued as premium in 2019!
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: You're right, Chop, I almost forgot!
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	11:09pm Hoboken Jack: I wonder if I'm the only one who ever confused Babiuk and Babjak.
	11:10pm efd: @Kat you're right, they were touring with (and sharing backup band members with) another band, Gaz Gaz I think they were called? They were good too!
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago: I don't think that's the band name but I can't remember what it was. I do remember they were playing together as you said!
	11:13pm efd: maybe that was the name of their single that I have... now I need to remember their name!
	11:14pm efd: I think it was Gaz Gaz!
	11:17pm Kat in Chicago: You're right! It was, I just found it on the interwebs. Also, you had an APB live set the same night, that's what I was thinking of.
	11:19pm efd: oh wow, that I didn't remember! I wonder if they were both live...??? I can't remember now.
	11:20pm Kat in Chicago: I think Limiñanas were live and APB was recorded. I'm gonna have to go back and listen to that show again.
	11:23pm Kat in Chicago: oh no, be careful! fingers are important
	11:26pm Jason from Houston: ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱ ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱ ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	11:27pm Scott Williams: "link in playlist", ha!
	11:28pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	11:28pm ultradamno: The preorder of this was one of my Bandcamp purchases.
	11:29pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:29pm efd: same!
	11:30pm Jason from Houston: ꒰˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩ ꒱ ♡
	11:31pm Mike: Does anyone know the identity of "MT Heart", the drummer listed on the Victims album?
	11:31pm Jason from Houston: No hearts allowed. Hahaha...
	11:35pm Mike Sin: Hello! How did RSD go down for everyone at the end of Aug. Nothing for me. First in a long time. Been hitting record stores but mainly for impulse/spontaneous buying. I must admit, it’s been online shopping for the very specific stuff.
	11:37pm Kat in Chicago: I haven't done a RSD for a while now.
	11:40pm efd: yeah, I don't usually take part in RSD either. I did go down to Princeton Record Exchange on Saturday- short wait to get in due to capacity restrictions, and there were maybe 8-10 people in line waiting to get in when I left.
	11:41pm Kat in Chicago: Patti Kane goes into the wishlist
	11:43pm Kat in Chicago: I'm not taking more buses or waiting in more lines than I have to, so RSD was not something I truly considered this year. I'm still glad it took place and I hope it helped the record stores.
	11:52pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for the tunes, efd! Thanks to your Skeleton. Be well, all!
	11:54pm Stevel: What Handy said! So grateful for what makes WFMU happen. Peace.
	11:56pm spodiodi: many thanks, EFD for another great show! thanks, Skeleton Scott and the rest of the bony bunch. cheerio, everyone
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, EFD! Thanks, Scott - I retold your Danny Taylor story to a friend an hour ago, btw
	11:58pm Scott Williams: Thanks Kat! Those were Danny's own words, read verbatim from the liner notes to The Garden.
	11:59pm ultradamno: The Go-Go's movie is on in the morning...
	11:59pm ultradamno: Just over 8 hours from now.
	12:00am Mike From Brooklyn: Thank you EFD & Scott for a great show.
	12:00am P-90: Thanks efd!
