WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 16, 2020

Listener comments!
	9:02pm ultradamno: Evan! Funkies!
	9:02pm Sam Pocker: oh wow, starting off strong already.
	9:02pm Figgsrock: I guess someone watched the HBO doc.
	9:02pm Sam Pocker: Steve I was thinking same thing haha
	9:02pm P-90: Praying to those weather gods to spare the transmitters for at least three hours...
	9:03pm Handy Haversack: efd! BG! All the other letters! Yeah! We thought a meeting might keep us away, but here we are! Snowed in with the best Funksters around!
	9:03pm loveless: I unapologetically love The Bee Gees. Hello all.
	9:03pm Scott Williams: I can never decide what my fave disco Bee Gees is, but this one's always a contender! Seems like I'm gonna have to pony up for temp HBO, huh?
	9:03pm luka: big tune
	9:03pm steveo: I believe
	9:04pm efd: Scott, most definitely.
	9:04pm Sam Pocker: Scott, it's worth it just for the restored 35mm footage from the NBC special. it's like the Jurassic Park of music docs.
	9:04pm DouglasInDallas: Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake ruined my Bee Gees forever....
	9:04pm Handy Haversack: Kate contends that siblings have a special secret power to achieve magnificent vocal blends.
	9:05pm Aitch: Trying to mimic the vocals on Tragedy been a kid fave for many years
	9:05pm Andres: Winter's evening end and all! Loveless: No apologies necessary!
	9:05pm spodiodi: greetings, EFD and Funkfans
	9:05pm P-90: @Scott: that doc manages to be consistently better than you’d guess it’s gonna be. Recommended.
	9:05pm Hoboken Jack: Happy Snovid EFD, Scott, human jukebox Sam, Handy, Spodi, all!!
	9:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: If there is any song that is more 70s than this, I'd like to see that!
	9:06pm Marie: Now I wanna hear a ton of Bee Gees
	9:06pm Andres: *efd (Cursed autocorrect)
	9:06pm Hoboken Jack: Fade up those pots
	9:06pm Handy Haversack: Jack! How goes? You buying efd's revisionist history here?
	9:07pm ultradamno: This happens when one gets faded on pot
	9:07pm Sam Pocker: Hi Jack, I had pizza yesterday because of you.
	9:07pm Scott Williams: EFD & Sam & P90, sold! Handy, I absolutely agree with Kate! Hello Jack!
	9:08pm Hoboken Jack: Hey HP Ken! My cupboards are less bare than usual, thanks for earlier concern.
	9:08pm Michael in Montclair: Hello EFD and all of my fellow funksters! I hope everyone in the WFMU vicinity (i.e. NJ/NYC) are all hunkered down and staying warm and dry.
	9:08pm Aitch: It's the Knights on Broadway you have to really worry about. A lot of crossed swords.
	9:08pm P-90: Wouldn’t do to go into this Crimson Sweet with improperly faded pots. Nope.
	9:08pm Handy Haversack: Scott, she's an only child, and I think this is a special source of resentment. She wants a sibling just for harmonies!
	9:08pm Figgsrock: Pre-Main Course my favorite Bee Gees tracks are “Massachusetts” and “Melody Fair.” I’d say “Nights on Broadway” and “Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)” are my favorites from their Miami years.
	9:09pm Sam Pocker: Michael, they said on the news that the snow was a statewide event but that they would "keep all eyes on the north".
	9:09pm spodiodi: hi Jack!
	9:09pm pgalub: Good evening efd, Scott (again!), Jack, and fellow funksters!
	9:10pm Scott Williams: Figgsrock, "Melody Fair" is HEAVY. Disco years, I'd add "Our Love (Don't Throw it All Away)" - I get high on that chorus
	9:10pm Sam Pocker: Was anyone else disappointed that they completely skipped over the 90s and the final album?
	9:11pm Hoboken Jack: Sam, was it from California Pizza Kitchen? Or Shakey's. Or Round Table.
	9:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Indeed, Jack. Keep a full pantry in the winter months.
	9:11pm Scott Williams: Hey again, pgalub!
	9:12pm Hoboken Jack: Pete! Stepladder.
	9:12pm Sam Pocker: Jack, it was a $5 take and bake from Walmart (hangs head in shame). In my defense I got it for free with a coupon, because me.
	9:12pm Handy Haversack: Hard realization tonight that tortillas ended up being the chink in my snow-supplies armor.
	9:13pm efd: hey everyone! Thanks for joining me on this snowy (around here at least) evening!
	9:13pm McGroovey: The Tubes' "Love Bomb": people hate it, but I like it. But I'm a Todd Rundgren fan.
	9:14pm efd: @McGroovey very underrated album IMHO!
	9:16pm pgalub: I was just listening to "Love Bomb" only a few days ago. Definitely some cool stuff on there.
	9:16pm Uncle Michael: The internet is a series of tubes.
	9:17pm Hoboken Jack: Sam, the Go-Go's doc also ignored later decades. I feel like younger documentarians strive for a neater bow? Surprised they didn't mention the Bee Gees final top 10 hit from 1989, "One." But that and sporadic Go-Go reunions don't fit the dramatic arc.
	9:18pm ledzeppelinsucks: I saw the cook use smashed potato tots to stuff my burrito. I ordered hash browns, not god damned smashed browns. I am shaking my horchata in anger.
	9:19pm Hoboken Jack: I bought the Best of The Tubes at Tunes for 4 bucks this week.
	9:19pm Hoboken Jack: Hi McGroove
	9:20pm Joe B: The Go-Go's doc - I can see skipping it because it didn't get much attention but yeah, as Jack points out, One was a pretty big comeback for them. can't get it all in in a 1:45 doc.
	9:20pm Andres: zep: Don't spill any of that precious horchata in anger!
	9:20pm McGroovey: This Tubes has less Fee Waybill than their big hits, more Vince Welnick, I guess. It fits with the Utopia album of the same year, and in fact they toured together. And this is the sound of the late '80s/early '90s Todd solo albums. The best songs on the Utopia record are probably better than the best songs the Tubes album, but the worst songs on the Tubes album are probably better than the worst songs on the Utopia album. I'm thinking too hard.
	9:21pm ledzeppelinsucks: The Tubes were the first band to play live at the brand new Tacoma Dome August 1983. I saw them. Then came David Bowie.
	9:21pm Sam Pocker: Jack, the Go-Go's doc I felt was more about the label paying for a commercial to generate catalog sales (which worked). They skipped over a lot of pivotal moments in that one. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it didn't seem as if it was trying to tell the story as much as it was just trying to get a new audience interested in the band.
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: Honestly, I don't know if I have ever heard the Tubes before -- enjoying it, though!
	9:22pm efd: @Handy that seems unpossible!
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: PLU's bed music?
	9:22pm Joe B: have no recollection of Love Bomb, and I was a fan of both the Tubes and Todd R. weird
	9:23pm Joe B: what pivotal moments were skipped in the Go go's doc?
	9:23pm McGroovey: @Handy you've heard the Tubes' hits, undoubtedly: She's a Beauty was the big one ... what else?
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: @efd, I was raised wrong!
	9:23pm Andres: Handy: Me too. If I've heard them then I didn't know it.
	9:23pm ultradamno: @Handy The was definitely some of that neater bow syndrome in that doc in how they presented the band's significance as an all-girl act. You'd have thought it was them, the people who agreed to talk on camera, and that was it.
	9:25pm Hoboken Jack: Love Bomb is paired with Bora Bora 2000 on the Best Of (which, Handy, also includes She's a Beauty, Talk To Ya Later, but not White Punks on Dope).
	9:25pm pgalub: I'm a sucker for the single off this one- "Piece By Piece" Great tubular/Rundgrenny pop!
	9:25pm Andres: McGroovey: Okay then, yes, I have.
	9:26pm McGroovey: Both "Love Bomb" and "POV" (the Utopia album) totally bombed. Both bands basically broke up as a results, though of course the Tubes later got back together. A cover of one song "Mated" from POV was a big hit somewhere international a year or two later.
	9:26pm Hackensack Slim: Handy, Does White Punks on Dope ring a bell?
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: What do ya want from life?
	9:26pm ledzeppelinsucks: She’s A Beauty by The Tubes is about the peep booths that were at the corner of Broadway and Columbus in San Francisco early 80s. The Tubes lived in a house on Noriega ST in the 70s.
	9:27pm efd: "Don't Touch Me There," "Prime Time," "Tal kTo You Later" were also hittish
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: @McGroovey, as in, "She's a beauty -- she's a one-in-a-million girl!"? OK. And of course, I have heard "White Punks on Dope"! Whew, OK, turns out I'm not ignorant, just dumb! Much happier that way!
	9:28pm Joe B: The Tubes could never top appearing on SCTV
	9:28pm Andres: Ignorance is something or other...
	9:28pm R2: Bee Gees doc is indeed great. but it loses a point for not having a sing;e mention of Sgt. Pepper.
	9:29pm luka: “talk to you later” is an all time Tubes heater.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: It loses 100 points for ignoring Odessa.
	9:29pm Scott Williams: I'm with Joe B, how'd I never know this?? And where's Fee? Not hearing him at all
	9:30pm pgalub: Todd does his own version of this ("Feel It") on "Nearly Human".
	9:30pm Joe B: they should have at least discussed the Odessa album cover
	9:30pm Hoboken Jack: Joe, nothing major was skipped in the Go-Go's doc, but it falsely gives you the impression that the new single I is the first time they've worked together in 30 years. I still enjoyed it and the Bee Gees doc a whole lot.
	9:30pm McGroovey: Piece By Piece and Feel It totally feel like '80s Todd songs. He had a big hand in most of the songs. The band was bickering, and arrived at the sessions with only a few half-written songs, and he had to fix it.
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: My friends are complaining right now on Facebook about the Sgt. Pepper omission, R2 (which maybe says something about my friends)
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: I'm still just trying to get in a stable enough place to not cry all the way through the MacGowan documentary. The Zappa one tore me up. Maybe the Bee Gees one would be a good, neutral-space reentry.
	9:31pm McGroovey: Just looked at the writing credits, and Fee is nowhere. I think he was only minimally present for the sessions.
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: Well, they did show the cover for a second. But when a band's masterpiece directly contributes to a breakup, I'd say it's worth a couple of minutes.
	9:31pm Joe B: agreed jack it does give that impression. 'God Bless 'is a good album
	9:33pm Figgsrock: Wow, I’ve never heard this Tubes epic before. Pretty amazing. I guessed that Todd Rundgren produced it before even looking at the comments. Also I really loved other Tubes Top 40 hit, “Don’t Want to Wait Anymore.”
	9:33pm Joe B: @UM - yes, and that probably contributed to them jumbling the chronology of that era.
	9:33pm ultradamno: The Roky one is rough, he went through a lot.
	9:34pm Sam Pocker: Jack, one major omission was the controversy surrounding the backstage video. They skipped a lot of negative stuff. Don't even think they mention Belinda's Forex trading by payphone.
	9:34pm Joe B: I just realized they also left out Cucumber Castle! fuck that doc!
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: And the fact that Robin split and made a great fucking solo album.
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: People's Champ has spoken! Fuck it!
	9:35pm Chop Scott: I'm with you Joe B.!
	9:35pm pgalub: "If you know what you want, I'll get it for you. If you don't know what you want, I'll do it for you."-- Todd Rundgren
	9:35pm Joe B: The Roky one borders on exploitation - hey, look how crazy this guy is! i hated it.
	9:36pm Scott Williams: Thanks Evan! Fingers crossed I get outta here tonight
	9:36pm Joe B: stay safe Scott!
	9:36pm ultradamno: Pictures of Rusk State Hospital theemptyplaces.com...
	9:37pm Dave Miss: Skeleton Scott! Protect ya bones!
	9:37pm Kat in Chicago: Yikes, good luck, Scott. We only got a dusting in the Chi today.
	9:37pm ultradamno: That one didn't bother too much on those grounds, not nearly as much as the Daniel Johnston one.
	9:37pm McGroovey: There's so much great BeeGees '60s stuff. Most of their '60s stuff is good-to-great.
	9:38pm Scott Williams: Thanks, friends! I've got my bike
	9:38pm Uncle Michael: Careful, Scott!
	9:38pm ultradamno: His brother's side of it kind of brought it to earth for me, I guess.
	9:38pm Joe B: I also never knew Fee Waybill did a solo album, or that they later took Martha Davis' vocals off of Monkey Time.
	9:39pm Scott Williams: my annoying opinion on Odessa: everything pales compared to Melody Fair. And Robin's Reign is great!
	9:39pm Uncle Michael: The Bee Gees doc didn't deal that much with the music before Main Course.
	9:39pm Androu B.: Hi everyone! So glad you played that Tubes album, Evan. I've recently been rediscovering "The Runt"'s solo work, the Utopia discog, and his production work with other acts like The Tubes. As a matter of fact, I saw Utopia and The Tubes perform at The Capitol Theater in Passaic back in 1986. (Still have the original ticket stub to prove it! 😎)
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: I only ever started hearing the sixties Bee Gees stuff on WFMU, and it made me reconsider my entire Bee Gees position and once again have to be all like, "You know what, [Handy]? You're kind of a moron." Great stuff!
	9:40pm Sam Pocker: are we talking about the Shane MacGowen film?
	9:40pm Joe B: @UM - yeah I don't think Idea was mentioned at all
	9:40pm Hoboken Jack: Love Bomb only reached #87 and the Tubes didn't make another album until 1996 (which the Tubes doc will skip).
	9:41pm Joe B: I guess peter bogdanovich can't do a 9-hour movie on every band
	9:41pm Hoboken Jack: Therese interviewed Kate Pierson.
	9:41pm ultradamno: I've got it on the DVR, but haven't watched it yet.
	9:43pm Sam Pocker: Evan the bridge is called Julia Tuttle Causeway
	9:43pm Handy Haversack: I discovered my falsetto, too, but as attendees of Stashu's Zoom Karaoke Party can attest, it was probably best left undiscovered.
	9:43pm Andres: If you mention Casey Kasem then you need to follow it up with a long distance dedication.
	9:43pm Joe B: it is a great doc though. If you are the editor, and you have an hour and 45 minutes, you can't cover everything
	9:43pm ultradamno: I kind of think Documentary Now's Blue Jean Committee episode can make these docs an uphill climb (the falsetto talk reminded of that...)
	9:43pm McGroovey: HobJack on the ball! Woohoo! Oh, and hey Jack.
	9:44pm Joe B: @Handy - ha!
	9:44pm Hoboken Jack: Sam, I thought the Shane doc was better made than the others discussed here, even if the drooling modern Shane is difficult viewing (and hearing).
	9:44pm Androu B.: Oh, I should also mention that, for a time, I owned a vinyl copy of The Tubes' "Remote Control". Enjoyed playing the heck out of that album until the grooves wore out! (Of course, I'm exaggerating, lol!)
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: I'm no Jarvis Cocker, Joe B. It's been legally determined as well as morally mandated!
	9:46pm Figgsrock: For those that want a Bee Gees doc with a bit of a different spin (but still leaves out Sgt Pepper, unfortunately) there’s the authorized one, This Is Where I Come In, they did in 2001 posted on YouTube. Much of the archival interview footage in the new doc is from here: https://youtu.be/RYH3EYaRSqU
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: I second Figgsrocks rec. Also "This Is Where I Came In" is a really good record!
	9:47pm Sam Pocker: Jack, I agree it was better made than the Go-Go's film but not as strong as the Bee Gees, and that maybe purely by issue of the budget and the material. I've never been a particularly big Pouges fan and by the end of it I was left to feel like he was just kind of a drug addict who got lucky.
	9:47pm ultradamno: I remember liking The Monks one a lot.
	9:47pm Joe B: @sam - agreed!
	9:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, EFD...and all in Funky Town. SNOW DAY!!!
	9:48pm Sam Pocker: Steve I loved that album. I wish any of these films chronicled the Bee Gees in 1997.
	9:48pm Uncle Michael: I'll tell you what though...I'll take a crap documentary over any biopic.
	9:48pm Joe B: There is a brief shot of Stork and I with the Monks at the FMU record fair in one of the DVD extras
	9:48pm ultradamno: No real attempts at working up a melodrama, just a real good look at the band
	9:49pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P! The rock has summoned thee!
	9:49pm Mr. Pumpy: And so I have arrived!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: greetings efd and all
	9:49pm Sam Pocker: Joe B have you ever seen a doc on UB40? Not dissimilar.
	9:50pm Mr. Pumpy: coel! what up?
	9:50pm Joe B: never saw it, my interest in UB40 starts and ends with their I Got You babe cover
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P i was just about to call you (about 30 min ago) and alas my phone was near-dead
	9:52pm Sam Pocker: I never usually have the time or patience on Wednesday night to hang out in a chat room like this. It's fun and I'm enjoying the conversation!
	9:52pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahhh...I'm off-ish for a few days. Any time. My move is over and now I'm somewhat settled and dealing with more normal life stuff. No worries.
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: Pumpy has life calmed down there a little now?
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: oh you just answered that question!
	9:53pm Sam Pocker: Mr P, where did you move to/from?
	9:53pm Mr. Pumpy: coel...yes. I'm still taking care of pops and all, but I closed on the sale of my house and am just here at dad's now with my records and necessities. The rest is in storage. I have to get settled, but I'm at least only living in one place.
	9:53pm Androu B.: Something very Fall-ish about this Soft Shoulder track.
	9:54pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and peoples, popping up like whack a mole.
	9:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Sam...I moved from Clifton, NJ to Clifton, NJ. This is a point that has led to much confusion amongst my peers, Handy included. Cross town...over to the better side of the tracks!
	9:55pm efd: so that 19-year-old High CD is not ejecting from my CD player. If anyone feels like googling for info on how to manually dislodge a CD from a Numark NDX500 please feel free to share!
	9:55pm McGroovey: I suppose it wouldn't be a brilliant observation to mention that the Soft Shoulder track sounds like the Fall.
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: cool Thanks i'll call tomorrow. my phone sometimes takes >12 hours and some encouragement to charge up ... must feel good to have simplified
	9:55pm Carmichael: You played the friggin tubes, Todd produced. Already loving the playlist.
	9:55pm Handy Haversack: I can attest to Mr. Pumpy having a very classy lava lamp already set up in his new digs. But his address is still a mystery ... NOW.
	9:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Carmichael, how do? I typed 'Cars'michael by mistake...I'm trying to make more out of you!
	9:56pm Sam Pocker: Mr P, so east clifton to west clifton?
	9:57pm efd: oh it just decided to eject! As you were!
	9:57pm BH: Congrats, your CD player is now being controlled by ghosts
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: whew!
	9:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, that thing shit the bed yesterday. Well, I am not throwing it out, but the switch on the cord started to smoke. That's time to unplug or burn! I have a replacement on the way...maybe even for Sunday! AND...you know where I am NOW! And...NOW!!
	9:57pm Handy Haversack: efd, this happened to us with the car CD player in October. Unfortunately, that means my best advice is "Listen to Melenas a couple more times, keep driving, and then enjoy the miracle." Ah! See? It worked!
	9:58pm Joe B: @efd - sounds like my car repair technique - open hood, look under hood at nothing specific, close hood, try starting car again.
	9:58pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, cool. I'm available all day tomorrow, but if your around noonish EST, that may be the best.
	9:58pm Androu B.: Mr. P, By any chance, are your old digs anywhere in the area of the Loop Lounge?
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Joe B, sounds like you and me could start a business!
	10:00pm Joe B: ha handy! just had a similar cd issue, eventually the entire radio died and i had to replace it
	10:00pm Uncle Michael: Joe, you sound like my urologist.
	10:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Androu, not really. A five minute drive maybe, but I'm up in the northeast extreme of Clifton by Paterson, not Passaic. I lived down E 7th from the Harp. I put MANY hours in at the Loop years back, though. No doubt.
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: The car-iest thing I ever did was take the tape deck out of the last car -- and then realize I had no idea how to put it in the next car.
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: loop lounge was (is?) in passiac no?
	10:02pm Mr. Pumpy: This song is pumping certain glands.
	10:02pm Hackensack Slim: Joe, Back when I knew more Gear Heads, my MO was, "Open Hood, Look Confused and wait for someone to fix it for me."
	10:02pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, yes. It's a couple hundred feet into Passaic on the Clifton border.
	10:03pm Sam Pocker: Mr. P I used to have storage in Patterson. It was an adventure.
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: went to the loop a few times. the dirt club was my main though. every weekend for a few years.
	10:04pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, you senselessly stole your own tape deck.
	10:04pm Mr. Pumpy: Sam, Paterson is an adventure!
	10:04pm Handy Haversack: And I'm keeping it safe until the heat dies down, Mr. P!
	10:04pm SeanG: good stuff efd
	10:05pm juan rapido: Bandcamp is the best!
	10:05pm Joe B: @UM - I charge less!
	10:06pm Sam Pocker: Such a great album title.
	10:08pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, I never went to the Dirt. Aside from the usual coke obsessed goth scene at the Loop...I saw some killer shows there over the years. The Fiendz Dramarama, Candiria, The Wipers...maybe? Anyhow, for a little joint, they sometimes deliver.
	10:08pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, sleep with one eye open. Don't let yourself in on it.
	10:08pm Mr. Pumpy: White Hills! Sweet!
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: I'll call your receptionist, Joe.
	10:11pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good EFD! The Pidge sent me
	10:11pm Handy Haversack: And sorry to hear about the lava lamp betrayal, Mr. P. There's never a Saturnalia without casualties.
	10:11pm brycepunk1: Evan! Yes!! You turned me on to White Hills when you dared play "Don't Be Afraid" how many years ago. That was my first month of WFMU in my life. Hooked...
	10:12pm Joe B: I have a deceptionist
	10:13pm efd: @brycepunk1 That's awesome! Always happy to win some new fans for White Hills, they're the best. @PaulRobeson1920 Thanks for stopping by! I'll be sure to send Clay his $1 finder's fee
	10:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, you have detected the impetus behind my hastened departure. Alas, I could not escape unscathed. As the math predicted, the goggles...they do nothing.
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I may be popping in on the right set...
	10:16pm Androu B.: Oh, wow! Glad to know you once worked there! I used to go there around the early 00's; remember seeing live performances from many of my fave acts, especially the time Killing Joke played there. Btw, you do realize that you're now living in Ron English territory, don't you? I suggest you keep a sharp eye out the next time you come across a billboard in that area. You never know when you'll end up seeing one of his "masterpieces" up on display. He's still been pretty much on active duty since the last time I logged onto his website.
	10:18pm Handy Haversack: Report from the back stoop: It's not really snowing so much as it's "misting ice crystals in sort of a magical kind of way." Updates to follow! Also, I love this album.
	10:18pm Joe B: yeah efd!
	10:19pm efd: thanks for the inspiration, Joe!
	10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neat-o cover !
	10:19pm Joe B: could be time for a dirty knees reunion - Big Planet Noise played the original of drinking muddy water on monday night
	10:20pm Bootsie: That kicked off very Godfathers-ish
	10:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Clifton weather update: It's coming down like a mofo with around 3-4 inches on the ground. Wait, is this trip really necessary? It seems half this accu is from Clifton.
	10:20pm efd: 20th anniversary of this EP in 2023!
	10:21pm Joe B: the deluxe edition will have one less song
	10:22pm Handy Haversack: Well, I like to know what's up with Clifton. You should move there, Mr. P!
	10:22pm efd: @Joe that almost made me spit out the water I just drank. Which would not have been good.
	10:22pm ultradamno: That seems opposite of deluxe as I understand it.
	10:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I know White Hills from a show @ a University in Amherst that Thurston Moore put on - w/ Awesome Color & Tall Pines... great.
	10:24pm Sam Pocker: Joe B - I lol'ed
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then Julian Cope was enthused about White Hills...
	10:26pm ultradamno: That spin of Brandy inspired me to post this twitter.com...
	10:26pm Carmichael: The unenviable task of making a strand of xmas lights work. This is focus music. Send me your various incantations.
	10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: I've been looking at a couple of places, Handy. I've been looking.
	10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: Also, it's still snowing. Hard. NOW!
	10:29pm Stevel: Professor and the Madman is pretty sharp! New? Old? In-between?
	10:30pm Carmichael: Yay winter. It’s finally raining in NorCal. Been a loooong time ..
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: gearing up for the first round of shoveling now
	10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: The bass on this Professor rips! It's like Algy Ward meets Geezer Butler.
	10:31pm Carmichael: No better name in rock than Rat Scabies.
	10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, I hate to inform you (not really) that for the first time in my entire life I have my cart in a garage and I am not responsible for any shoveling during snowstorms. I'll take it! Pops (now I) lives in a complex where it is all taken care of.
	10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Well...it is a cart, of sorts.
	10:33pm Handy Haversack: Two goats and an eagle, Mr. P?
	10:33pm Sam Pocker: is there going to be more Bee Gees?
	10:34pm Joe B: hopefully there will be shows by 2023
	10:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Or two nuns and a pack mule, whatever it takes.
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: EFD...don't threaten me with a giddy time. Yes, giddy. White Hills!
	10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: And as mankind pressed on, against all odds, for thousands of years, two eternal questions remained unanswered. The first was the obvious, "What rhymes with orange?" with the second being, "What's the opposite of dent?"
	10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Matmos?! woofmoo gets the stuff. The stuff!
	10:44pm Carmichael: Eminem can tell you exactly what rhymes with orange. And a suck is the opposite of a dent. I know this to be at least partially true.
	10:45pm efd: @Sam no more Bee Gees on my show tonight, at least. That's as far as I'll go.
	10:46pm Androu B.: The definitive answer to the second question is...a bulge.
	10:47pm spodiodi: that last song gave me goosedents
	10:47pm Handy Haversack: efd!!!
	10:48pm efd: I see you Handy
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: Kate's so psyched -- and thanks you effusively!
	10:50pm PaulRobeson1920: It’s not too late for WFMU! Good stuff efd!
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like how the voice & instruments kinda spoon each other. :)
	10:51pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, I was on another tab and heard this and was like "this voice sounds familiar, who is this?" Love it.
	10:52pm spodiodi: nice one, K8!
	10:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like a Hit to me.
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Kat, you might know it from such karaoke classics as "Eyes Without a Face (Masks!)."
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago: LOL I might! Also I enjoyed your foray into falsetto, I don't care what you say.
	10:54pm Jon: Love this GP album
	10:54pm Handy Haversack: Aw, jeez, Kat. Thanks. Terrified. Kate might throw a Zoomeoke party of her own -- I'll make sure you know about it if it happens.
	10:55pm hendrix wolfbat: Hi everyone I need some help with the wfmu app who do yall think I should ask? It's a bit complicated, but basically I have a new iPhone 12 and because T-Mobile screwed up my order. They made me get another iPhone 12. I have to set up the 2nd and send the first new iPhone 12 back. It hasn't been working at all. Nothing wants to set up the second new iPhone 12 and as a result of fooling around with it. It erased. All. My saved shows in the W FM U app. I had shows saved on this phone from 2014 to the present. I had shows on this phone that don't exist anymore. I mean, they're in the archives, but I can't get them on the phone. It's really depressing and upsetting me. I don't know why it's happening and so I tried to save a couple of new shows. Like some shows from Shrunken Planet. And. When I went back to the app later, they weren't there, even though I downloaded them for later playing. Anyone know who I should contact about this? It's bumming me out.
	10:55pm Kat in Chicago: That would be cool. I might be ready to sing now.
	10:57pm Kat in Chicago: oh jeez hendrix wolfbat, that sucks. I'm not sure who the contact is for the app but hopefully someone will chime in.
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: (10:55 was for Handy)
	11:00pm efd: @hendrix I think the best person to start with is Station Manager Ken (ken at wfmu dot org) and hopefully he can help troubleshoot. Off the top of my head, though, I think shows are saved to the device, so I'm not sure if there's a way to move them to a new device. But check with Ken.
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Peoples get some harmonic overtone in there somehow makes me think of Entwistle's french horn on the Quadrophenia album...
	11:03pm Bootsie: Not a bad cover!
	11:04pm spodiodi: the day the world turned dayglo \m/
	11:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Deffo evokes Polystyrene.
	11:05pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: efd, I can’t search the comments on my ipad so I hope you’ve promised not to play that song about the diminutive percussionist on your holiday show.
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, furiousball is prolific.
	11:06pm Bootsie: That was a great show!
	11:08pm ultradamno: They named their whole band Furiousball just to one up the Brandy song. Damn.
	11:09pm hendrix wolfbat: Efd I had transferred them from a 6 to an 8 without fail. I had so many shows I loved. Omg. for example like 3 or four of your holiday shows.
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: BLUSHING. "Frequent Commenteer" is my next tramp stamp, for sure! And Kate is also very touched.
	11:09pm spodiodi: lol nice, Handy
	11:09pm hendrix wolfbat: @efd thanks for your suggestion.
	11:10pm spodiodi: thanks, Skeleton Scott Williams!
	11:10pm spodiodi: Alexa! me too
	11:10pm spodiodi: heck yeah, efd!!!
	11:11pm efd: good luck hendrix, I hope you can sort it out!
	11:11pm pgalub: Was hoping you would play this again. ;)
	11:11pm Kat in Chicago: I had to look that book up, Evan - I only vaguely remembered it and that was gonna bug me all night. "Caps for Sale" clipart-library.com...
	11:11pm spodiodi: i can't stop thinking about this song since hearing it here last week, efd. thank you!!!
	11:12pm efd: CAPS FOR SALE!! That's it, thank you Kat!
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago: That line sums up 2020 for me, the one that quotes Horse_ebooks: "Alexa, why does everything happen so much?"
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Holiday Music Punktacular ! ...You might just sell me on holiday music with that !
	11:13pm Handy Haversack: It's like Miracle on RRN63rd St.!
	11:13pm ken from baltimore: the rhythm/synths sound exactly like Blindness by the Fall. Anyone?
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: Oh come on, no one actually uses Cortana.
	11:14pm spodiodi: my nursery school did a play of Caps for Sale (i would have never remembered the name, but figured that's what you were talking about, efd)
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Damned shoulda done a totally Damned Xmas album...
	11:14pm ultradamno: Has this song made anyone's phone start playing The Cool Greenhouse or call Mona?
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: It set off Siri on my phone last week! Didn't this time.
	11:15pm ultradamno: ...or Amazon soundtube or whatever.
	11:16pm spodiodi: Alexa Order a copy of The Cool Greenhouse's new record
	11:16pm Kat in Chicago: spodi, so some tiny tot had to walk around with a giant pile of caps on his head?
	11:17pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, wait, The Cool Greenhouse didn't set off Siri, the Weatherman (Negativland) did.
	11:17pm Matt Fiveash: Crazy, I was just thinking about Caps For Sale this afternoon- was doing a crossword puzzle and one of the answers was "peddler", and somehow I remember that I learned what the word "peddler" meant from that book.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Caps For Sale - the monkeys steal 'em. I think Captain Kangaroo used to read it...
	11:19pm spodiodi: it might have been kindergarten, Kat, and i don't remember exactly how it was put together... i don't remember it being a challenge though (and the more i think about it, it may have been one of my little brothers who were in it... idk :^B )
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: That is some remarkable synchronicity, Matt! I know I haven't thought of that book in literally half a century at least.
	11:19pm spodiodi: yeah, RR, i mostly remember the monkeys and the big tree
	11:19pm ultradamno: Oh, Negativland and their pranks...
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They don't write 'em like that anymore.
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, miss eaves! So good!
	11:21pm efd: I might be in love with Miss Eaves
	11:22pm Handy Haversack: Same over in this apt., efd! I got this in the last Bandcamp Friday, which I thought might be the last so I went a little hard at the ol' wishlist ... and have listened to this more than anything else from that day!
	11:22pm Kat in Chicago: haha efd! my guess is most Bed-Stuy apartments don't get enough light to maintain succulents. I barely can, I have nice big windows but they face the wrong way.
	11:23pm ultradamno: You really have to work to kill a cactus. They're kind of idiot proof.
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sexy urban vocalfry herbicide. Does Clay spin this one?
	11:24pm Handy Haversack: I think he did one track off it, Rev Rab.
	11:25pm Matt Fiveash: Somewhat related- there's a great clip somewhere on youtube of the Jesus Lizard playing at CBGB where David Yow starts grabbing ballcaps (which everyone is wearing since it's the early '90s) off everyone in the pit's heads and stacking them high on his own head whilst singing...
	11:25pm Handy Haversack: No, I'm wrong -- Olivia played one.
	11:25pm spodiodi: i'm trying to save a little piece that broke off a succulent
	11:26pm spodiodi: lol Matt Fiveash that's great!
	11:26pm ultradamno: You can never have too many caps.
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Funky & bangin' in equal measure. Good groove.
	11:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Matt 5 - just watched a Steve Earle video & his gittar player looked like what I think (?) you might look like. Or are you strictly Bass ? :)
	11:29pm McGroovey: I didn't wear a cap in the early '90s, and especially not at CBGB. Serves them right.
	11:30pm Matt Fiveash: the best part is that when he's done he tosses the hats back into the audience like frisbees with no regard for where they came from.
	11:30pm spodiodi: hahaha nice
	11:30pm Matt Fiveash: RR- that wasn't me, I'm pretty sure
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: that sounds like a David Yow move, haha.
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm so old I remember only little boys wore bballcaps...
	11:31pm ultradamno: And that's why you can never have too many caps, David Yow will Robin Hood them away from you.
	11:32pm McGroovey: And don't get me started on backwards caps.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Matt5 : OK - I learn different you'll be 1st to know...
	11:32pm Handy Haversack: Hat-to-head ratio has always been a tricky one for me.
	11:34pm ultradamno: Wearing a ballcap forward is like not pulling a chair around and sitting on it backward, it just isn't done in polite society.
	11:34pm spodiodi: stacks got me too
	11:34pm Kat in Chicago: I look godawful in baseball caps.
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then again I wear a HarleyDavidson hat like I'm RobHallford so nevermind...
	11:35pm Handy Haversack: I cannot believe there are not more killer songs about how great sandwiches are. I mean, it's right there!
	11:35pm spodiodi: steak your claim
	11:36pm ultradamno: I used to wear a Browns cap in Cincinnati because I was suicidal.
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy I think that's in deference to WarrenZevon.
	11:37pm ultradamno: Surely The Descendants or somebody has a sandwich suite of songs.
	11:37pm ledzeppelinsucks: I went to the cat orphanage and did treat tossing into the feral cage. Fur was flying.
	11:37pm Kat in Chicago: The only sandwich song I can think of right now is Detroit Grand Pubahs' "Sandwiches" which is not actually about sandwiches
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wish I could wear wide brims like Hendrix pimp or Lennon rabbi ...nope.
	11:38pm Handy Haversack: I can respect that, RR.
	11:39pm ultradamno: Does The Angry Samoans Tuna Taco....not to incite a 'is a taco a sandwich' debate
	11:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: If you are suicidal in Cincinnati eat the sloppy food. People stand in line for that swill.
	11:39pm McGroovey: @Handy I'm trying to write words for a song. Maybe I need to start over with sandwiches, and ditch the pissed-off-at-love angle.
	11:39pm Handy Haversack: Am I crazy, or have there been no air horns? Social, medial, or otherwise?
	11:39pm ultradamno: Yes...I've been to Oktoberfest there.
	11:40pm Scott Williams: Handy, if you want more sandwich songs, head into Liz Berg's archives - she had a knack for uncovering songs about lunch
	11:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Liz Berg = Sandwich Time!
	11:41pm Handy Haversack: McGroovey, I can't tell you what to do, but they have soothed many a broken heart for me! Scott, you are the absolute best!
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well I was just admiring the Fakin' Bacon @ my fave local. Could be a lyrical in...
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: sandwiched between a love hate and a sandwich write a song about being pissed-off at a mean sandwich
	11:42pm McGroovey: The Partner download is CA$10, which is like US$nothing. Bargain.
	11:42pm ultradamno: I'd think Dagwood sandwich songs alone would be their own genre
	11:44pm Handy Haversack: "Stand by Your Manwich," coela?
	11:44pm McGroovey: Hey, now if I could find a Elvis Costello-ish rhyme for Dagwood, I'd be home free. The rest of the song can be poop, but an EC rhyme can give me a brag.
	11:44pm efd: total bargain, McGroovey!
	11:44pm efd: Handy you are correct, I've been remiss in my airhorning. Probably won't be any next week either, they're not very festive.
	11:45pm ledzeppelinsucks: Garbage Eve and Taco Tuesday are the same day in this neighborhood. Next week is loaded with holidays here.
	11:45pm ultradamno: There was a band in Cincinnati called Manwich, but I don't think they had any songs about it, but the organ player carried around a can of the stuff.
	11:46pm ns4windows: what's goodie, yall
	11:46pm McGroovey: A can of deviled ham would be easier to carry around than Manwich (or spam). Deviled ham is pocket-size.
	11:46pm Stevel: Pretty crazy production.
	11:46pm ultradamno: Yeah, or sardines.
	11:47pm Threemoons: Hey all. Just dropping in and I see we are talking about canned meat. Oddly enough, I just finished a very late dinner of a Spamwich. I had been eating almost vegan all week and had no appetite today,and suddenly I thought I was gonna faint. So, half a can of Spam on whole-grain bread with mayo and relish. Pretty good!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: Handy, one the positive side i love that Jimi song,"castles made of sandwiches"
	11:48pm ledzeppelinsucks: If you live in Cincinnati and want to use the Cincinnati Airport you have to go to KY .
	11:48pm Threemoons: I think I tried the Deviled Ham spread once a zillion years ago. The Manwich meat IIRC was pretty much just pre-made Sloppy Joe meat.
	11:49pm ns4windows: stay hydrated, warm, and well rested. oh yeah! and don't forget to delete your Instagram as well.
	11:49pm ultradamno: I had a roast beef and egg sandwich during this show. Maybe I'll write a song about it.
	11:49pm ledzeppelinsucks: Prison menu sandwiches.
	11:50pm Threemoons: Are there any good songs about salmon jerky? A family member gifted me some. It's pretty damn good.
	11:50pm ultradamno: Hmm. I like salmon. Get those omegas
	11:50pm McGroovey: @Threemoons whole wheat bread? Ah. You're a health freak.
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh salmon jerky sounds like something I would like
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: you could pirate John Lennon's "beef jerky"
	11:51pm Handy Haversack: Like sandwiches through the hourglass, coela. I once sketched out a Tom Waits tribute song called (and lyricked) "A Dented Can of Gypsy Brand Pork Loaf Patty Meat Product."
	11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You'd think Blondie would've broached the Dagwood lyric.. Spam sketch Half Century yesterday ! I know this.
	11:52pm McGroovey: I just ate some salmon jerky And I gotta say, I'm feelin' perky. (Practically writes itself!)
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: i love salmon and i love it smoked but the salmon jerky doesn't get me stoked
	11:54pm Aitch: About to put pork on my fork
	11:54pm ultradamno: Slut Magic sounds like it would be the name of a porn parody movie of The Craft
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: picnic day with slut magic? i'm in
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Crapdangit, I hate the post-11:50 minutes on Wednesdays. efd, thanks so much! What a fantastic show! And to Sceleton Scott, too! This has been an absolute blast. And also, thanks for being a Kate supporter. I've done it for 21 years, and it never steered me wrong. Be well, all of you! This was fandamntasitc!
	11:55pm Kat in Chicago: I bet Slut Magic knows the Party Girls
	11:56pm spodiodi: nice show, EFD! Thank you! thanks, Scott! see you all soon
	11:56pm ultradamno: Oh, yeah. They compare notes
	11:56pm McGroovey: Wait. You can't stop the show yet. We haven't even finished writing the first verse.
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: I almost missed the Party Girls today, Kat, but Scott saved me. Don't miss the Party Girls!
	11:56pm ledzeppelinsucks: There is a salmon jerky factory here in Anacortes. They are hiring to fill gift baskets.
	11:56pm Kat in Chicago: Yay cat dedications. Thanks Evan! Thanks Scott! Night y'all.
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...talk about enjoy every sandwich... TY efd !
	11:57pm McGroovey: OK. Quick! What's the chorus!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bang a dinner gong Get in on Enjoy every sammich Like Warren Zeevon
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *it
	11:59pm McGroovey: Perfect!!!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! Thanks Scott! tchau
	11:59pm Scott Williams: I always have a hard time fading out the Lords of Flatbush

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 16, 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!

December 16, 2020: live from Studio E(FD), then I said hey. Again.

	9:06pm Handy Haversack: Jack! How goes? You buying efd's revisionist history here?
	9:07pm ultradamno: This happens when one gets faded on pot
	9:07pm Sam Pocker: Hi Jack, I had pizza yesterday because of you.
	9:07pm Scott Williams: EFD & Sam & P90, sold! Handy, I absolutely agree with Kate! Hello Jack!
	9:08pm Hoboken Jack: Hey HP Ken! My cupboards are less bare than usual, thanks for earlier concern.
	9:08pm Michael in Montclair: Hello EFD and all of my fellow funksters! I hope everyone in the WFMU vicinity (i.e. NJ/NYC) are all hunkered down and staying warm and dry.
	9:08pm Aitch: It's the Knights on Broadway you have to really worry about. A lot of crossed swords.
	9:08pm P-90: Wouldn’t do to go into this Crimson Sweet with improperly faded pots. Nope.
	9:08pm Handy Haversack: Scott, she's an only child, and I think this is a special source of resentment. She wants a sibling just for harmonies!
	9:08pm Figgsrock: Pre-Main Course my favorite Bee Gees tracks are “Massachusetts” and “Melody Fair.” I’d say “Nights on Broadway” and “Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)” are my favorites from their Miami years.
	9:09pm Sam Pocker: Michael, they said on the news that the snow was a statewide event but that they would "keep all eyes on the north".
	9:09pm spodiodi: hi Jack!
	9:09pm pgalub: Good evening efd, Scott (again!), Jack, and fellow funksters!
	9:10pm Scott Williams: Figgsrock, "Melody Fair" is HEAVY. Disco years, I'd add "Our Love (Don't Throw it All Away)" - I get high on that chorus
	9:10pm Sam Pocker: Was anyone else disappointed that they completely skipped over the 90s and the final album?
	9:11pm Hoboken Jack: Sam, was it from California Pizza Kitchen? Or Shakey's. Or Round Table.
	9:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Indeed, Jack. Keep a full pantry in the winter months.
	9:11pm Scott Williams: Hey again, pgalub!
	9:12pm Hoboken Jack: Pete! Stepladder.
	9:12pm Sam Pocker: Jack, it was a $5 take and bake from Walmart (hangs head in shame). In my defense I got it for free with a coupon, because me.
	9:12pm Handy Haversack: Hard realization tonight that tortillas ended up being the chink in my snow-supplies armor.
	9:13pm efd: hey everyone! Thanks for joining me on this snowy (around here at least) evening!
	9:13pm McGroovey: The Tubes' "Love Bomb": people hate it, but I like it. But I'm a Todd Rundgren fan.
	9:14pm efd: @McGroovey very underrated album IMHO!
	9:16pm pgalub: I was just listening to "Love Bomb" only a few days ago. Definitely some cool stuff on there.
	9:16pm Uncle Michael: The internet is a series of tubes.
	9:17pm Hoboken Jack: Sam, the Go-Go's doc also ignored later decades. I feel like younger documentarians strive for a neater bow? Surprised they didn't mention the Bee Gees final top 10 hit from 1989, "One." But that and sporadic Go-Go reunions don't fit the dramatic arc.
	9:18pm ledzeppelinsucks: I saw the cook use smashed potato tots to stuff my burrito. I ordered hash browns, not god damned smashed browns. I am shaking my horchata in anger.
	9:19pm Hoboken Jack: I bought the Best of The Tubes at Tunes for 4 bucks this week.
	9:19pm Hoboken Jack: Hi McGroove
	9:20pm Joe B: The Go-Go's doc - I can see skipping it because it didn't get much attention but yeah, as Jack points out, One was a pretty big comeback for them. can't get it all in in a 1:45 doc.
	9:20pm Andres: zep: Don't spill any of that precious horchata in anger!
	9:20pm McGroovey: This Tubes has less Fee Waybill than their big hits, more Vince Welnick, I guess. It fits with the Utopia album of the same year, and in fact they toured together. And this is the sound of the late '80s/early '90s Todd solo albums. The best songs on the Utopia record are probably better than the best songs the Tubes album, but the worst songs on the Tubes album are probably better than the worst songs on the Utopia album. I'm thinking too hard.
	9:21pm ledzeppelinsucks: The Tubes were the first band to play live at the brand new Tacoma Dome August 1983. I saw them. Then came David Bowie.
	9:21pm Sam Pocker: Jack, the Go-Go's doc I felt was more about the label paying for a commercial to generate catalog sales (which worked). They skipped over a lot of pivotal moments in that one. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it didn't seem as if it was trying to tell the story as much as it was just trying to get a new audience interested in the band.
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: Honestly, I don't know if I have ever heard the Tubes before -- enjoying it, though!
	9:22pm efd: @Handy that seems unpossible!
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: PLU's bed music?
	9:22pm Joe B: have no recollection of Love Bomb, and I was a fan of both the Tubes and Todd R. weird
	9:23pm Joe B: what pivotal moments were skipped in the Go go's doc?
	9:23pm McGroovey: @Handy you've heard the Tubes' hits, undoubtedly: She's a Beauty was the big one ... what else?
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: @efd, I was raised wrong!
	9:23pm Andres: Handy: Me too. If I've heard them then I didn't know it.
	9:23pm ultradamno: @Handy The was definitely some of that neater bow syndrome in that doc in how they presented the band's significance as an all-girl act. You'd have thought it was them, the people who agreed to talk on camera, and that was it.
	9:25pm Hoboken Jack: Love Bomb is paired with Bora Bora 2000 on the Best Of (which, Handy, also includes She's a Beauty, Talk To Ya Later, but not White Punks on Dope).
	9:25pm pgalub: I'm a sucker for the single off this one- "Piece By Piece" Great tubular/Rundgrenny pop!
	9:25pm Andres: McGroovey: Okay then, yes, I have.
	9:26pm McGroovey: Both "Love Bomb" and "POV" (the Utopia album) totally bombed. Both bands basically broke up as a results, though of course the Tubes later got back together. A cover of one song "Mated" from POV was a big hit somewhere international a year or two later.
	9:26pm Hackensack Slim: Handy, Does White Punks on Dope ring a bell?
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: What do ya want from life?
	9:26pm ledzeppelinsucks: She’s A Beauty by The Tubes is about the peep booths that were at the corner of Broadway and Columbus in San Francisco early 80s. The Tubes lived in a house on Noriega ST in the 70s.
	9:27pm efd: "Don't Touch Me There," "Prime Time," "Tal kTo You Later" were also hittish
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: @McGroovey, as in, "She's a beauty -- she's a one-in-a-million girl!"? OK. And of course, I have heard "White Punks on Dope"! Whew, OK, turns out I'm not ignorant, just dumb! Much happier that way!
	9:28pm Joe B: The Tubes could never top appearing on SCTV
	9:28pm Andres: Ignorance is something or other...
	9:28pm R2: Bee Gees doc is indeed great. but it loses a point for not having a sing;e mention of Sgt. Pepper.
	9:29pm luka: “talk to you later” is an all time Tubes heater.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: It loses 100 points for ignoring Odessa.
	9:29pm Scott Williams: I'm with Joe B, how'd I never know this?? And where's Fee? Not hearing him at all
	9:30pm pgalub: Todd does his own version of this ("Feel It") on "Nearly Human".
	9:30pm Joe B: they should have at least discussed the Odessa album cover
	9:30pm Hoboken Jack: Joe, nothing major was skipped in the Go-Go's doc, but it falsely gives you the impression that the new single I is the first time they've worked together in 30 years. I still enjoyed it and the Bee Gees doc a whole lot.
	9:30pm McGroovey: Piece By Piece and Feel It totally feel like '80s Todd songs. He had a big hand in most of the songs. The band was bickering, and arrived at the sessions with only a few half-written songs, and he had to fix it.
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: My friends are complaining right now on Facebook about the Sgt. Pepper omission, R2 (which maybe says something about my friends)
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: I'm still just trying to get in a stable enough place to not cry all the way through the MacGowan documentary. The Zappa one tore me up. Maybe the Bee Gees one would be a good, neutral-space reentry.
	9:31pm McGroovey: Just looked at the writing credits, and Fee is nowhere. I think he was only minimally present for the sessions.
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: Well, they did show the cover for a second. But when a band's masterpiece directly contributes to a breakup, I'd say it's worth a couple of minutes.
	9:31pm Joe B: agreed jack it does give that impression. 'God Bless 'is a good album
	9:33pm Figgsrock: Wow, I’ve never heard this Tubes epic before. Pretty amazing. I guessed that Todd Rundgren produced it before even looking at the comments. Also I really loved other Tubes Top 40 hit, “Don’t Want to Wait Anymore.”
	9:33pm Joe B: @UM - yes, and that probably contributed to them jumbling the chronology of that era.
	9:33pm ultradamno: The Roky one is rough, he went through a lot.
	9:34pm Sam Pocker: Jack, one major omission was the controversy surrounding the backstage video. They skipped a lot of negative stuff. Don't even think they mention Belinda's Forex trading by payphone.
	9:34pm Joe B: I just realized they also left out Cucumber Castle! fuck that doc!
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: And the fact that Robin split and made a great fucking solo album.
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: People's Champ has spoken! Fuck it!
	9:35pm Chop Scott: I'm with you Joe B.!
	9:35pm pgalub: "If you know what you want, I'll get it for you. If you don't know what you want, I'll do it for you."-- Todd Rundgren
	9:35pm Joe B: The Roky one borders on exploitation - hey, look how crazy this guy is! i hated it.
	9:36pm Scott Williams: Thanks Evan! Fingers crossed I get outta here tonight
	9:36pm Joe B: stay safe Scott!
	9:36pm ultradamno: Pictures of Rusk State Hospital theemptyplaces.com...
	9:37pm Dave Miss: Skeleton Scott! Protect ya bones!
	9:37pm Kat in Chicago: Yikes, good luck, Scott. We only got a dusting in the Chi today.
	9:37pm ultradamno: That one didn't bother too much on those grounds, not nearly as much as the Daniel Johnston one.
	9:37pm McGroovey: There's so much great BeeGees '60s stuff. Most of their '60s stuff is good-to-great.
	9:38pm Scott Williams: Thanks, friends! I've got my bike
	9:38pm Uncle Michael: Careful, Scott!
	9:38pm ultradamno: His brother's side of it kind of brought it to earth for me, I guess.
	9:38pm Joe B: I also never knew Fee Waybill did a solo album, or that they later took Martha Davis' vocals off of Monkey Time.
	9:39pm Scott Williams: my annoying opinion on Odessa: everything pales compared to Melody Fair. And Robin's Reign is great!
	9:39pm Uncle Michael: The Bee Gees doc didn't deal that much with the music before Main Course.
	9:39pm Androu B.: Hi everyone! So glad you played that Tubes album, Evan. I've recently been rediscovering "The Runt"'s solo work, the Utopia discog, and his production work with other acts like The Tubes. As a matter of fact, I saw Utopia and The Tubes perform at The Capitol Theater in Passaic back in 1986. (Still have the original ticket stub to prove it! 😎)
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: I only ever started hearing the sixties Bee Gees stuff on WFMU, and it made me reconsider my entire Bee Gees position and once again have to be all like, "You know what, [Handy]? You're kind of a moron." Great stuff!
	9:40pm Sam Pocker: are we talking about the Shane MacGowen film?
	9:40pm Joe B: @UM - yeah I don't think Idea was mentioned at all
	9:40pm Hoboken Jack: Love Bomb only reached #87 and the Tubes didn't make another album until 1996 (which the Tubes doc will skip).
	9:41pm Joe B: I guess peter bogdanovich can't do a 9-hour movie on every band
	9:41pm Hoboken Jack: Therese interviewed Kate Pierson.
	9:41pm ultradamno: I've got it on the DVR, but haven't watched it yet.
	9:43pm Sam Pocker: Evan the bridge is called Julia Tuttle Causeway
	9:43pm Handy Haversack: I discovered my falsetto, too, but as attendees of Stashu's Zoom Karaoke Party can attest, it was probably best left undiscovered.
	9:43pm Andres: If you mention Casey Kasem then you need to follow it up with a long distance dedication.
	9:43pm Joe B: it is a great doc though. If you are the editor, and you have an hour and 45 minutes, you can't cover everything
	9:43pm ultradamno: I kind of think Documentary Now's Blue Jean Committee episode can make these docs an uphill climb (the falsetto talk reminded of that...)
	9:43pm McGroovey: HobJack on the ball! Woohoo! Oh, and hey Jack.
	9:44pm Joe B: @Handy - ha!
	9:44pm Hoboken Jack: Sam, I thought the Shane doc was better made than the others discussed here, even if the drooling modern Shane is difficult viewing (and hearing).
	9:44pm Androu B.: Oh, I should also mention that, for a time, I owned a vinyl copy of The Tubes' "Remote Control". Enjoyed playing the heck out of that album until the grooves wore out! (Of course, I'm exaggerating, lol!)
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: I'm no Jarvis Cocker, Joe B. It's been legally determined as well as morally mandated!
	9:46pm Figgsrock: For those that want a Bee Gees doc with a bit of a different spin (but still leaves out Sgt Pepper, unfortunately) there’s the authorized one, This Is Where I Come In, they did in 2001 posted on YouTube. Much of the archival interview footage in the new doc is from here: https://youtu.be/RYH3EYaRSqU
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: I second Figgsrocks rec. Also "This Is Where I Came In" is a really good record!
	9:47pm Sam Pocker: Jack, I agree it was better made than the Go-Go's film but not as strong as the Bee Gees, and that maybe purely by issue of the budget and the material. I've never been a particularly big Pouges fan and by the end of it I was left to feel like he was just kind of a drug addict who got lucky.
	9:47pm ultradamno: I remember liking The Monks one a lot.
	9:47pm Joe B: @sam - agreed!
	9:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, EFD...and all in Funky Town. SNOW DAY!!!
	9:48pm Sam Pocker: Steve I loved that album. I wish any of these films chronicled the Bee Gees in 1997.
	9:48pm Uncle Michael: I'll tell you what though...I'll take a crap documentary over any biopic.
	9:48pm Joe B: There is a brief shot of Stork and I with the Monks at the FMU record fair in one of the DVD extras
	9:48pm ultradamno: No real attempts at working up a melodrama, just a real good look at the band
	9:49pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P! The rock has summoned thee!
	9:49pm Mr. Pumpy: And so I have arrived!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: greetings efd and all
	9:49pm Sam Pocker: Joe B have you ever seen a doc on UB40? Not dissimilar.
	9:50pm Mr. Pumpy: coel! what up?
	9:50pm Joe B: never saw it, my interest in UB40 starts and ends with their I Got You babe cover
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P i was just about to call you (about 30 min ago) and alas my phone was near-dead
	9:52pm Sam Pocker: I never usually have the time or patience on Wednesday night to hang out in a chat room like this. It's fun and I'm enjoying the conversation!
	9:52pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahhh...I'm off-ish for a few days. Any time. My move is over and now I'm somewhat settled and dealing with more normal life stuff. No worries.
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: Pumpy has life calmed down there a little now?
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: oh you just answered that question!
	9:53pm Sam Pocker: Mr P, where did you move to/from?
	9:53pm Mr. Pumpy: coel...yes. I'm still taking care of pops and all, but I closed on the sale of my house and am just here at dad's now with my records and necessities. The rest is in storage. I have to get settled, but I'm at least only living in one place.
	9:53pm Androu B.: Something very Fall-ish about this Soft Shoulder track.
	9:54pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and peoples, popping up like whack a mole.
	9:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Sam...I moved from Clifton, NJ to Clifton, NJ. This is a point that has led to much confusion amongst my peers, Handy included. Cross town...over to the better side of the tracks!
	9:55pm efd: so that 19-year-old High CD is not ejecting from my CD player. If anyone feels like googling for info on how to manually dislodge a CD from a Numark NDX500 please feel free to share!
	9:55pm McGroovey: I suppose it wouldn't be a brilliant observation to mention that the Soft Shoulder track sounds like the Fall.
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: cool Thanks i'll call tomorrow. my phone sometimes takes >12 hours and some encouragement to charge up ... must feel good to have simplified
	9:55pm Carmichael: You played the friggin tubes, Todd produced. Already loving the playlist.
	9:55pm Handy Haversack: I can attest to Mr. Pumpy having a very classy lava lamp already set up in his new digs. But his address is still a mystery ... NOW.
	9:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Carmichael, how do? I typed 'Cars'michael by mistake...I'm trying to make more out of you!
	9:56pm Sam Pocker: Mr P, so east clifton to west clifton?
	9:57pm efd: oh it just decided to eject! As you were!
	9:57pm BH: Congrats, your CD player is now being controlled by ghosts
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: whew!
	9:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, that thing shit the bed yesterday. Well, I am not throwing it out, but the switch on the cord started to smoke. That's time to unplug or burn! I have a replacement on the way...maybe even for Sunday! AND...you know where I am NOW! And...NOW!!
	9:57pm Handy Haversack: efd, this happened to us with the car CD player in October. Unfortunately, that means my best advice is "Listen to Melenas a couple more times, keep driving, and then enjoy the miracle." Ah! See? It worked!
	9:58pm Joe B: @efd - sounds like my car repair technique - open hood, look under hood at nothing specific, close hood, try starting car again.
	9:58pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, cool. I'm available all day tomorrow, but if your around noonish EST, that may be the best.
	9:58pm Androu B.: Mr. P, By any chance, are your old digs anywhere in the area of the Loop Lounge?
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Joe B, sounds like you and me could start a business!
	10:00pm Joe B: ha handy! just had a similar cd issue, eventually the entire radio died and i had to replace it
	10:00pm Uncle Michael: Joe, you sound like my urologist.
	10:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Androu, not really. A five minute drive maybe, but I'm up in the northeast extreme of Clifton by Paterson, not Passaic. I lived down E 7th from the Harp. I put MANY hours in at the Loop years back, though. No doubt.
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: The car-iest thing I ever did was take the tape deck out of the last car -- and then realize I had no idea how to put it in the next car.
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: loop lounge was (is?) in passiac no?
	10:02pm Mr. Pumpy: This song is pumping certain glands.
	10:02pm Hackensack Slim: Joe, Back when I knew more Gear Heads, my MO was, "Open Hood, Look Confused and wait for someone to fix it for me."
	10:02pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, yes. It's a couple hundred feet into Passaic on the Clifton border.
	10:03pm Sam Pocker: Mr. P I used to have storage in Patterson. It was an adventure.
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: went to the loop a few times. the dirt club was my main though. every weekend for a few years.
	10:04pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, you senselessly stole your own tape deck.
	10:04pm Mr. Pumpy: Sam, Paterson is an adventure!
	10:04pm Handy Haversack: And I'm keeping it safe until the heat dies down, Mr. P!
	10:04pm SeanG: good stuff efd
	10:05pm juan rapido: Bandcamp is the best!
	10:05pm Joe B: @UM - I charge less!
	10:06pm Sam Pocker: Such a great album title.
	10:08pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, I never went to the Dirt. Aside from the usual coke obsessed goth scene at the Loop...I saw some killer shows there over the years. The Fiendz Dramarama, Candiria, The Wipers...maybe? Anyhow, for a little joint, they sometimes deliver.
	10:08pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, sleep with one eye open. Don't let yourself in on it.
	10:08pm Mr. Pumpy: White Hills! Sweet!
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: I'll call your receptionist, Joe.
	10:11pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good EFD! The Pidge sent me
	10:11pm Handy Haversack: And sorry to hear about the lava lamp betrayal, Mr. P. There's never a Saturnalia without casualties.
	10:11pm brycepunk1: Evan! Yes!! You turned me on to White Hills when you dared play "Don't Be Afraid" how many years ago. That was my first month of WFMU in my life. Hooked...
	10:12pm Joe B: I have a deceptionist
	10:13pm efd: @brycepunk1 That's awesome! Always happy to win some new fans for White Hills, they're the best. @PaulRobeson1920 Thanks for stopping by! I'll be sure to send Clay his $1 finder's fee
	10:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, you have detected the impetus behind my hastened departure. Alas, I could not escape unscathed. As the math predicted, the goggles...they do nothing.
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I may be popping in on the right set...
	10:16pm Androu B.: Oh, wow! Glad to know you once worked there! I used to go there around the early 00's; remember seeing live performances from many of my fave acts, especially the time Killing Joke played there. Btw, you do realize that you're now living in Ron English territory, don't you? I suggest you keep a sharp eye out the next time you come across a billboard in that area. You never know when you'll end up seeing one of his "masterpieces" up on display. He's still been pretty much on active duty since the last time I logged onto his website.
	10:18pm Handy Haversack: Report from the back stoop: It's not really snowing so much as it's "misting ice crystals in sort of a magical kind of way." Updates to follow! Also, I love this album.
	10:18pm Joe B: yeah efd!
	10:19pm efd: thanks for the inspiration, Joe!
	10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neat-o cover !
	10:19pm Joe B: could be time for a dirty knees reunion - Big Planet Noise played the original of drinking muddy water on monday night
	10:20pm Bootsie: That kicked off very Godfathers-ish
	10:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Clifton weather update: It's coming down like a mofo with around 3-4 inches on the ground. Wait, is this trip really necessary? It seems half this accu is from Clifton.
	10:20pm efd: 20th anniversary of this EP in 2023!
	10:21pm Joe B: the deluxe edition will have one less song
	10:22pm Handy Haversack: Well, I like to know what's up with Clifton. You should move there, Mr. P!
	10:22pm efd: @Joe that almost made me spit out the water I just drank. Which would not have been good.
	10:22pm ultradamno: That seems opposite of deluxe as I understand it.
	10:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I know White Hills from a show @ a University in Amherst that Thurston Moore put on - w/ Awesome Color & Tall Pines... great.
	10:24pm Sam Pocker: Joe B - I lol'ed
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then Julian Cope was enthused about White Hills...
	10:26pm ultradamno: That spin of Brandy inspired me to post this twitter.com...
	10:26pm Carmichael: The unenviable task of making a strand of xmas lights work. This is focus music. Send me your various incantations.
	10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: I've been looking at a couple of places, Handy. I've been looking.
	10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: Also, it's still snowing. Hard. NOW!
	10:29pm Stevel: Professor and the Madman is pretty sharp! New? Old? In-between?
	10:30pm Carmichael: Yay winter. It’s finally raining in NorCal. Been a loooong time ..
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: gearing up for the first round of shoveling now
	10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: The bass on this Professor rips! It's like Algy Ward meets Geezer Butler.
	10:31pm Carmichael: No better name in rock than Rat Scabies.
	10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, I hate to inform you (not really) that for the first time in my entire life I have my cart in a garage and I am not responsible for any shoveling during snowstorms. I'll take it! Pops (now I) lives in a complex where it is all taken care of.
	10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Well...it is a cart, of sorts.
	10:33pm Handy Haversack: Two goats and an eagle, Mr. P?
	10:33pm Sam Pocker: is there going to be more Bee Gees?
	10:34pm Joe B: hopefully there will be shows by 2023
	10:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Or two nuns and a pack mule, whatever it takes.
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: EFD...don't threaten me with a giddy time. Yes, giddy. White Hills!
	10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: And as mankind pressed on, against all odds, for thousands of years, two eternal questions remained unanswered. The first was the obvious, "What rhymes with orange?" with the second being, "What's the opposite of dent?"
	10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Matmos?! woofmoo gets the stuff. The stuff!
	10:44pm Carmichael: Eminem can tell you exactly what rhymes with orange. And a suck is the opposite of a dent. I know this to be at least partially true.
	10:45pm efd: @Sam no more Bee Gees on my show tonight, at least. That's as far as I'll go.
	10:46pm Androu B.: The definitive answer to the second question is...a bulge.
	10:47pm spodiodi: that last song gave me goosedents
	10:47pm Handy Haversack: efd!!!
	10:48pm efd: I see you Handy
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: Kate's so psyched -- and thanks you effusively!
	10:50pm PaulRobeson1920: It’s not too late for WFMU! Good stuff efd!
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like how the voice & instruments kinda spoon each other. :)
	10:51pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, I was on another tab and heard this and was like "this voice sounds familiar, who is this?" Love it.
	10:52pm spodiodi: nice one, K8!
	10:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like a Hit to me.
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Kat, you might know it from such karaoke classics as "Eyes Without a Face (Masks!)."
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago: LOL I might! Also I enjoyed your foray into falsetto, I don't care what you say.
	10:54pm Jon: Love this GP album
	10:54pm Handy Haversack: Aw, jeez, Kat. Thanks. Terrified. Kate might throw a Zoomeoke party of her own -- I'll make sure you know about it if it happens.
	10:55pm hendrix wolfbat: Hi everyone I need some help with the wfmu app who do yall think I should ask? It's a bit complicated, but basically I have a new iPhone 12 and because T-Mobile screwed up my order. They made me get another iPhone 12. I have to set up the 2nd and send the first new iPhone 12 back. It hasn't been working at all. Nothing wants to set up the second new iPhone 12 and as a result of fooling around with it. It erased. All. My saved shows in the W FM U app. I had shows saved on this phone from 2014 to the present. I had shows on this phone that don't exist anymore. I mean, they're in the archives, but I can't get them on the phone. It's really depressing and upsetting me. I don't know why it's happening and so I tried to save a couple of new shows. Like some shows from Shrunken Planet. And. When I went back to the app later, they weren't there, even though I downloaded them for later playing. Anyone know who I should contact about this? It's bumming me out.
	10:55pm Kat in Chicago: That would be cool. I might be ready to sing now.
	10:57pm Kat in Chicago: oh jeez hendrix wolfbat, that sucks. I'm not sure who the contact is for the app but hopefully someone will chime in.
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: (10:55 was for Handy)
	11:00pm efd: @hendrix I think the best person to start with is Station Manager Ken (ken at wfmu dot org) and hopefully he can help troubleshoot. Off the top of my head, though, I think shows are saved to the device, so I'm not sure if there's a way to move them to a new device. But check with Ken.
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Peoples get some harmonic overtone in there somehow makes me think of Entwistle's french horn on the Quadrophenia album...
	11:03pm Bootsie: Not a bad cover!
	11:04pm spodiodi: the day the world turned dayglo \m/
	11:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Deffo evokes Polystyrene.
	11:05pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: efd, I can’t search the comments on my ipad so I hope you’ve promised not to play that song about the diminutive percussionist on your holiday show.
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, furiousball is prolific.
	11:06pm Bootsie: That was a great show!
	11:08pm ultradamno: They named their whole band Furiousball just to one up the Brandy song. Damn.
	11:09pm hendrix wolfbat: Efd I had transferred them from a 6 to an 8 without fail. I had so many shows I loved. Omg. for example like 3 or four of your holiday shows.
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: BLUSHING. "Frequent Commenteer" is my next tramp stamp, for sure! And Kate is also very touched.
	11:09pm spodiodi: lol nice, Handy
	11:09pm hendrix wolfbat: @efd thanks for your suggestion.
	11:10pm spodiodi: thanks, Skeleton Scott Williams!
	11:10pm spodiodi: Alexa! me too
	11:10pm spodiodi: heck yeah, efd!!!
	11:11pm efd: good luck hendrix, I hope you can sort it out!
	11:11pm pgalub: Was hoping you would play this again. ;)
	11:11pm Kat in Chicago: I had to look that book up, Evan - I only vaguely remembered it and that was gonna bug me all night. "Caps for Sale" clipart-library.com...
	11:11pm spodiodi: i can't stop thinking about this song since hearing it here last week, efd. thank you!!!
	11:12pm efd: CAPS FOR SALE!! That's it, thank you Kat!
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago: That line sums up 2020 for me, the one that quotes Horse_ebooks: "Alexa, why does everything happen so much?"
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Holiday Music Punktacular ! ...You might just sell me on holiday music with that !
	11:13pm Handy Haversack: It's like Miracle on RRN63rd St.!
	11:13pm ken from baltimore: the rhythm/synths sound exactly like Blindness by the Fall. Anyone?
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: Oh come on, no one actually uses Cortana.
	11:14pm spodiodi: my nursery school did a play of Caps for Sale (i would have never remembered the name, but figured that's what you were talking about, efd)
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Damned shoulda done a totally Damned Xmas album...
	11:14pm ultradamno: Has this song made anyone's phone start playing The Cool Greenhouse or call Mona?
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: It set off Siri on my phone last week! Didn't this time.
	11:15pm ultradamno: ...or Amazon soundtube or whatever.
	11:16pm spodiodi: Alexa Order a copy of The Cool Greenhouse's new record
	11:16pm Kat in Chicago: spodi, so some tiny tot had to walk around with a giant pile of caps on his head?
	11:17pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, wait, The Cool Greenhouse didn't set off Siri, the Weatherman (Negativland) did.
	11:17pm Matt Fiveash: Crazy, I was just thinking about Caps For Sale this afternoon- was doing a crossword puzzle and one of the answers was "peddler", and somehow I remember that I learned what the word "peddler" meant from that book.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Caps For Sale - the monkeys steal 'em. I think Captain Kangaroo used to read it...
	11:19pm spodiodi: it might have been kindergarten, Kat, and i don't remember exactly how it was put together... i don't remember it being a challenge though (and the more i think about it, it may have been one of my little brothers who were in it... idk :^B )
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: That is some remarkable synchronicity, Matt! I know I haven't thought of that book in literally half a century at least.
	11:19pm spodiodi: yeah, RR, i mostly remember the monkeys and the big tree
	11:19pm ultradamno: Oh, Negativland and their pranks...
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They don't write 'em like that anymore.
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, miss eaves! So good!
	11:21pm efd: I might be in love with Miss Eaves
	11:22pm Handy Haversack: Same over in this apt., efd! I got this in the last Bandcamp Friday, which I thought might be the last so I went a little hard at the ol' wishlist ... and have listened to this more than anything else from that day!
	11:22pm Kat in Chicago: haha efd! my guess is most Bed-Stuy apartments don't get enough light to maintain succulents. I barely can, I have nice big windows but they face the wrong way.
	11:23pm ultradamno: You really have to work to kill a cactus. They're kind of idiot proof.
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sexy urban vocalfry herbicide. Does Clay spin this one?
	11:24pm Handy Haversack: I think he did one track off it, Rev Rab.
	11:25pm Matt Fiveash: Somewhat related- there's a great clip somewhere on youtube of the Jesus Lizard playing at CBGB where David Yow starts grabbing ballcaps (which everyone is wearing since it's the early '90s) off everyone in the pit's heads and stacking them high on his own head whilst singing...
	11:25pm Handy Haversack: No, I'm wrong -- Olivia played one.
	11:25pm spodiodi: i'm trying to save a little piece that broke off a succulent
	11:26pm spodiodi: lol Matt Fiveash that's great!
	11:26pm ultradamno: You can never have too many caps.
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Funky & bangin' in equal measure. Good groove.
	11:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Matt 5 - just watched a Steve Earle video & his gittar player looked like what I think (?) you might look like. Or are you strictly Bass ? :)
	11:29pm McGroovey: I didn't wear a cap in the early '90s, and especially not at CBGB. Serves them right.
	11:30pm Matt Fiveash: the best part is that when he's done he tosses the hats back into the audience like frisbees with no regard for where they came from.
	11:30pm spodiodi: hahaha nice
	11:30pm Matt Fiveash: RR- that wasn't me, I'm pretty sure
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: that sounds like a David Yow move, haha.
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm so old I remember only little boys wore bballcaps...
	11:31pm ultradamno: And that's why you can never have too many caps, David Yow will Robin Hood them away from you.
	11:32pm McGroovey: And don't get me started on backwards caps.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Matt5 : OK - I learn different you'll be 1st to know...
	11:32pm Handy Haversack: Hat-to-head ratio has always been a tricky one for me.
	11:34pm ultradamno: Wearing a ballcap forward is like not pulling a chair around and sitting on it backward, it just isn't done in polite society.
	11:34pm spodiodi: stacks got me too
	11:34pm Kat in Chicago: I look godawful in baseball caps.
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then again I wear a HarleyDavidson hat like I'm RobHallford so nevermind...
	11:35pm Handy Haversack: I cannot believe there are not more killer songs about how great sandwiches are. I mean, it's right there!
	11:35pm spodiodi: steak your claim
	11:36pm ultradamno: I used to wear a Browns cap in Cincinnati because I was suicidal.
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy I think that's in deference to WarrenZevon.
	11:37pm ultradamno: Surely The Descendants or somebody has a sandwich suite of songs.
	11:37pm ledzeppelinsucks: I went to the cat orphanage and did treat tossing into the feral cage. Fur was flying.
	11:37pm Kat in Chicago: The only sandwich song I can think of right now is Detroit Grand Pubahs' "Sandwiches" which is not actually about sandwiches
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wish I could wear wide brims like Hendrix pimp or Lennon rabbi ...nope.
	11:38pm Handy Haversack: I can respect that, RR.
	11:39pm ultradamno: Does The Angry Samoans Tuna Taco....not to incite a 'is a taco a sandwich' debate
	11:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: If you are suicidal in Cincinnati eat the sloppy food. People stand in line for that swill.
	11:39pm McGroovey: @Handy I'm trying to write words for a song. Maybe I need to start over with sandwiches, and ditch the pissed-off-at-love angle.
	11:39pm Handy Haversack: Am I crazy, or have there been no air horns? Social, medial, or otherwise?
	11:39pm ultradamno: Yes...I've been to Oktoberfest there.
	11:40pm Scott Williams: Handy, if you want more sandwich songs, head into Liz Berg's archives - she had a knack for uncovering songs about lunch
	11:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Liz Berg = Sandwich Time!
	11:41pm Handy Haversack: McGroovey, I can't tell you what to do, but they have soothed many a broken heart for me! Scott, you are the absolute best!
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well I was just admiring the Fakin' Bacon @ my fave local. Could be a lyrical in...
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: sandwiched between a love hate and a sandwich write a song about being pissed-off at a mean sandwich
	11:42pm McGroovey: The Partner download is CA$10, which is like US$nothing. Bargain.
	11:42pm ultradamno: I'd think Dagwood sandwich songs alone would be their own genre
	11:44pm Handy Haversack: "Stand by Your Manwich," coela?
	11:44pm McGroovey: Hey, now if I could find a Elvis Costello-ish rhyme for Dagwood, I'd be home free. The rest of the song can be poop, but an EC rhyme can give me a brag.
	11:44pm efd: total bargain, McGroovey!
	11:44pm efd: Handy you are correct, I've been remiss in my airhorning. Probably won't be any next week either, they're not very festive.
	11:45pm ledzeppelinsucks: Garbage Eve and Taco Tuesday are the same day in this neighborhood. Next week is loaded with holidays here.
	11:45pm ultradamno: There was a band in Cincinnati called Manwich, but I don't think they had any songs about it, but the organ player carried around a can of the stuff.
	11:46pm ns4windows: what's goodie, yall
	11:46pm McGroovey: A can of deviled ham would be easier to carry around than Manwich (or spam). Deviled ham is pocket-size.
	11:46pm Stevel: Pretty crazy production.
	11:46pm ultradamno: Yeah, or sardines.
	11:47pm Threemoons: Hey all. Just dropping in and I see we are talking about canned meat. Oddly enough, I just finished a very late dinner of a Spamwich. I had been eating almost vegan all week and had no appetite today,and suddenly I thought I was gonna faint. So, half a can of Spam on whole-grain bread with mayo and relish. Pretty good!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: Handy, one the positive side i love that Jimi song,"castles made of sandwiches"
	11:48pm ledzeppelinsucks: If you live in Cincinnati and want to use the Cincinnati Airport you have to go to KY .
	11:48pm Threemoons: I think I tried the Deviled Ham spread once a zillion years ago. The Manwich meat IIRC was pretty much just pre-made Sloppy Joe meat.
	11:49pm ns4windows: stay hydrated, warm, and well rested. oh yeah! and don't forget to delete your Instagram as well.
	11:49pm ultradamno: I had a roast beef and egg sandwich during this show. Maybe I'll write a song about it.
	11:49pm ledzeppelinsucks: Prison menu sandwiches.
	11:50pm Threemoons: Are there any good songs about salmon jerky? A family member gifted me some. It's pretty damn good.
	11:50pm ultradamno: Hmm. I like salmon. Get those omegas
	11:50pm McGroovey: @Threemoons whole wheat bread? Ah. You're a health freak.
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh salmon jerky sounds like something I would like
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: you could pirate John Lennon's "beef jerky"
	11:51pm Handy Haversack: Like sandwiches through the hourglass, coela. I once sketched out a Tom Waits tribute song called (and lyricked) "A Dented Can of Gypsy Brand Pork Loaf Patty Meat Product."
	11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You'd think Blondie would've broached the Dagwood lyric.. Spam sketch Half Century yesterday ! I know this.
	11:52pm McGroovey: I just ate some salmon jerky And I gotta say, I'm feelin' perky. (Practically writes itself!)
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: i love salmon and i love it smoked but the salmon jerky doesn't get me stoked
	11:54pm Aitch: About to put pork on my fork
	11:54pm ultradamno: Slut Magic sounds like it would be the name of a porn parody movie of The Craft
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: picnic day with slut magic? i'm in
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Crapdangit, I hate the post-11:50 minutes on Wednesdays. efd, thanks so much! What a fantastic show! And to Sceleton Scott, too! This has been an absolute blast. And also, thanks for being a Kate supporter. I've done it for 21 years, and it never steered me wrong. Be well, all of you! This was fandamntasitc!
	11:55pm Kat in Chicago: I bet Slut Magic knows the Party Girls
	11:56pm spodiodi: nice show, EFD! Thank you! thanks, Scott! see you all soon
	11:56pm ultradamno: Oh, yeah. They compare notes
	11:56pm McGroovey: Wait. You can't stop the show yet. We haven't even finished writing the first verse.
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: I almost missed the Party Girls today, Kat, but Scott saved me. Don't miss the Party Girls!
	11:56pm ledzeppelinsucks: There is a salmon jerky factory here in Anacortes. They are hiring to fill gift baskets.
	11:56pm Kat in Chicago: Yay cat dedications. Thanks Evan! Thanks Scott! Night y'all.
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...talk about enjoy every sandwich... TY efd !
	11:57pm McGroovey: OK. Quick! What's the chorus!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bang a dinner gong Get in on Enjoy every sammich Like Warren Zeevon
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *it
	11:59pm McGroovey: Perfect!!!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! Thanks Scott! tchau
	11:59pm Scott Williams: I always have a hard time fading out the Lords of Flatbush
