	12:03pm Dano59: OMG A Year at the Top! I remember Paul's Elton John dressup schtick fondly from that summer replacement show. Also: sounds very Spinal Tap!
	12:04pm ?: Good afternoon, Evan. This is my third two to four hour a day sleep schedule. Finishing freelance work at night, and waiting for a call, during the day.
	12:04pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and those about to Funk. I salute you!
	12:05pm Gregory Lopez: This question mark has a name: Gregory Lopez. Not Jim Carrey by the way.
	12:05pm Brainiac from Neuron 3: Born on this date in 1947, Happy 75th birthday today to Ian Anderson, Scottish rock singer, flautist, guitarist, and songwriter (Jethro Tull - "Bungle In The Jungle"; "Aqualung"; "Locomotive Breath"; "Thick As A Brick"), born in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
	12:05pm clarke: outta tha' starting gate with DYNO-mite!!
	12:06pm Gregory Lopez: Question mark killed the radio star, if you don't me saying. :)
	12:07pm Figgsrock: wow, haven't heard this Mats cut in a long time.
	12:07pm clarke: i know Figgs!
	12:08pm clarke: the radio star is not dead - he's only sleeeeping
	12:08pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...

	12:09pm efd: heeeyyyyy, everyone! Welcome to Wednesday afternoon (Jersey City time)! Thanks for being here today.
	12:09pm Meesalikeu: oh how i wish westerberg would stop living off the fat and unretire himself!
	12:09pm clarke: mr. S!!! howdy sir!
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: Greetings, fine people!
	12:10pm clarke: 'lo Hughie!!
	12:10pm vinylmonkee: I can see why I have no recollection of A Year at the Top: youtu.be...
	12:10pm morphe': Always thought the Replacements more hardcore? Is this out of the ordinary?
	12:10pm Carmichael: Also: 1943 Ronnie Spector [Veronica Bennett], American pop singer (The Ronettes -"Be My Baby"), born in NYC, New York (d. 2022)
	12:11pm HyperDose: Howdy Arabia hahaha Hey Jack, Carm, characters.
	12:11pm full metal monkey: Hello EFD. Hoboken Jack. And Prof
	12:12pm efd: that slow-speed startup of this song is built into the track, for the record!
	12:13pm Meesalikeu: @ morphe’ — o geez dont get me started on the arc of the replacements … i strongly suggest go read trouble boys by bob mehr for all the deets — highly recommended
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: Ahoy, Clarke!
	12:13pm Hoboken Jack: What's up, HyperD
	12:13pm clarke: what's happs in cackalacky??
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: @Morphe, in a word, yes, that was out of the ordinary for the Replacements.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: The soupy conditions persist hereabouts.
	12:14pm Dano59: I'm going outside to paint the porch, bringing this with me
	12:15pm clarke: well thereabouts has got to be less soupy than HEREabouts!!
	12:15pm clarke: it's a veranda Dano!!!
	12:16pm Dano59: it will be when I'm done with it, @clarke. In these parts a porch has dogs sleeping under it
	12:17pm clarke: that Eleanor F was reeeeel niiiice. don't kick a sleeping dog, Dano!
	12:17pm Dano59: 'Mats fans are divided on Don't Tell a Soul, but I fall on the pro- side
	12:17pm Annette: Hi
	12:18pm clarke: i'm pro DTAS (maybe not at the time it was released as much??)
	12:18pm efd: I've always liked Don't Tell A Soul, but I'm also very much a cherrypicking Replacements fan.
	12:19pm drr: I disliked the cover art on DTAS. Just made me think, "this is not a band I would like".
	12:19pm clarke: i'm pretty all-in, but not in 'mats mode in recent years, curiously.
	12:20pm Figgsrock: I always liked DTAS, mostly because that was the first Mats album to come out while I was in college.
	12:20pm courtneynoir: I'm pro-about-2/3rds of Don't Tell A Soul and I'm being generous - and I'm a HUGE 'Mats fan so it takes a lot for me to admit even that :)
	12:20pm prof.fuzz: it's true, hyperD! hey clarke! FMM! DRR! Figgs! and of course, EFD!
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: I concur, @Dano. I also liked Warehouse: Songs and Stories, which got a similar reaction from hardcore fans of Husker Du. Despite the overly clean production, both bands were writing some of their very best songs once they finally had been at it for awhile and signed toi major labels.
	12:20pm drr: TOPT opened his show Saturday with "Takin' A Ride" and that sounded great.
	12:21pm Andres: Good,aft, efd and all! Quiet Feel felt good played loud!
	12:22pm Figgsrock: My college station went 5 songs deep on it, which was a rarity for us.
	12:22pm probablyjohn: kinda "away from the numbers" this one eh?
	12:23pm drr: I really wanted to like Warehouse:SAS. Might have been a good single disc. But that was when I finally noticed how bad all the Husker Du records sounded.
	12:23pm Figgsrock: Thank you playing this before my meeting EFD.
	12:23pm nycmusicnerd: YES!!!! XANADU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:23pm Yes: hallo everyone
	12:23pm Roberto: In Zanadoo did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree
	12:24pm clarke: hy FuZZZZ
	12:25pm Meesalikeu: watch the charming opening of xanadu on the youtubes for olivia — it encompasses everything 1970s you could ever want — such a great opener to a horrible, unwatchable movie.
	12:25pm Mister Dobalina: What's the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi? People in Dubai don't like the Flintstones but people in Abu Dhabi doooooo.
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: i think i'm just gonna loop this tune for an hour when i teach the mongol empire next spring semester...
	12:25pm iamstiv: Blimey, sounds like the 13th Floor Elevators lifted that whole Kinks b-side for Tried To Hide
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: True that all the Du's LPs had production issues. I remember speaking with Grant Hart before a show in Durham and he said that Bob had total control and wouldn't allow reissues for some reason. Anyone know more about this?
	12:26pm Dano59: One of the local youth theatre groups put on 'Xanadu' with roller skates last year.
	12:26pm Roberto: Some dummkopf on YouTube referred to it as "Ello."
	12:27pm Hoboken Jack: Hughie, I'd be interested in confirmation. Been hoping for a reissue of Warehouse!
	12:28pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The Husker Du records (New Day Rising in particular) have a modern parallel with what Brendan O'Brian did with Springsteen's "Magic" LP. Bass completely torn out and mids/highs just compressed all to hell.
	12:29pm ghost: Efd good afternoon!
	12:29pm Dano59: I loved a lot of Olivia's country crossover stuff. Working with Jeff Lynne also kind of elevated her for me, all the laffs we had about 'Olivia Neutron Bomb' aside. (a Howard Hesseman joke?)
	12:29pm Carmichael: ELO and ONJ on EFD!
	12:30pm Meesalikeu: @woods as sn old ‘mats, ‘du & ‘brooce fan you are 100% correct
	12:30pm drr: @Woods: and the drums sound like someone drumming their fingers on a cardboard box.
	12:31pm clarke: the drag album title is a ref to Easy Rider. and yes, Tom Lord-Alge and Chris and their other brother are ALL engineer/producers!
	12:31pm Hughie Considine: The Lord-Alges are from Tenafly! (Pronounced like algae)
	12:31pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Meesalikeu: I began to wonder about Bruce's hearing after that. A shame because I love the songs on that one. @drr: Kind of like late-era Alex Van Halen...two pop tarts being whacked together.
	12:31pm Bean: Sorry if I'm late to the party but, @EFD, when is the Summer Disco Dance Show?!
	12:32pm drr: @Woods: I'm gonna try that thing with the pop tarts!
	12:32pm HyperDose: @Hughie No way! Thanks for that uber cool factoid
	12:33pm Hoboken Jack: Another NJ connection on that Drag record: photography by Asbury Park's Danny Clinch.
	12:35pm drr: I gotta head out and it is POURING. Maybe one of these days I'll get....a raincoat?
	12:35pm clarke: yeah, it is POURING about as hard as i can remember, uptown.
	12:36pm clarke: bookend the test with CNSMAH!!!!
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: I love that my hometown of Tenafly was home to many big names like Lesley Gore, Paul Anka, Jimmy Dean among them. Glen Miller too. And of course the Lord-Alges. And Tenafly is a stone's throw from the Van Gelder Studio and Sugar Hill Records in Englewood. So much musical history on that side of the Hudson.
	12:38pm Meesalikeu: @woodsyes i worry about bruce’s hearing, mental health and maybe alzheimers too. but western stars is the best record in years and has the best sound of any of his records, except for seeger sessions and the ties that bind (proto river single album). those three are his only great studio records in term of sound (although seeger was recorded live).
	12:39pm Alvy Singer: Article from the Toronto Sun about Gord Lewis. torontosun.com...
	12:39pm dale: thanks to you and creamo for playing this great band. they don't get enough airplay
	12:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Meesalikeu: Agreed on all fronts. I love that record to pieces.
	12:44pm dale: love this one.
	12:45pm Meesalikeu: @woods — i actually think seeger sessions is thee best sound of all for our nj guy bruce, i love the record and idea of it, but bruce himself knocks it down it a bit in terms of listening pleasure by shouting the songs too much. as a fan since greetings when i was a little kid sorry i could go on and on on bruce … lol
	12:45pm Androu B.: Hello Evan & Funksters! Found out about Gord yesterday on the MSN news feed. Horrible story. According to the Sun, "Police said that they were unable to positively identify the body due to the level of decomposition." That would suggest he was likely killed sometime the week before.
	12:47pm efd: @Androu agreed, just awful.
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: @Meesalikeu I was a college student when Bruce and the E Street Band were rehearsing for The River tour in a studio in Litiitz, PA. A bunch of us went over and stood outside the studio and eventually he invited us all inside and they played the Mitch Ryder medley.
	12:52pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Great tribute to a great band, Evan. I used to see them all the time. Gordie was a great human being.
	12:53pm efd: thanks so much Glynis, that means a lot.
	12:55pm Andres: RIP Gord. Huge loss. Great songs. Incredible live energy. Just plain one of the greatest bands.
	12:55pm love2laf: Thank you EFD, teared up a lot, but also brought back so many great memories of seeing them way back in the day.
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: Did not know this band. What a tragedy.
	12:58pm prof.fuzz: Dominate!!!
	12:59pm Meesalikeu: @hughie — thats cool i met him as a kid on the river tour before the show outside the venue, which was suburban cleveland richfield coliseum. i also saw him walking out of his favorite nyc bars a couple times, so just missed him. i can say now since they are no more — tortilla flats in the west village/meatpacking and miladys in soho — lol.
	1:01pm Tinley Park Randy: Got a parquet courts sound
	1:03pm Destroit: Hi EFD, hi everyone. Frequently listening to the EFD show, but barely comment for some reason….you know how it goes….i’m supposed to be working haha
	1:04pm Meesalikeu: @tinley it defnitely does. that or a dry cleaning vibe.
	1:06pm Hughie Considine: I knew both of those places well, @Meesalikeu. Nice memories
	1:06pm efd: @Destroit if you're typing a comment it could look like you're working! :) Thanks for listening, whether commenting or not.
	1:06pm efd: and that goes for all lurkers! No commenting required!
	1:08pm Webhamster Henry: Gamelan Alert - I was playing in mine at yesterday's rehearsal.Fans of gamelan mixed with wester instruments can check out the really good "Cork Gamelan Ensemble" and the fairly recently released "Kuda Bisa Kudu: Balungan" , both on bandcamp.
	1:09pm clarke: "whether you hear me typing..."
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: EFD: thanks for turning me on to liz burrito. we're gonna try to do a show or two together this fall.
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: oop should have gone on the drummer stream chat!
	1:10pm efd: @Henry I think you're in the wrong room! :)
	1:10pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Well I’ve been lurking - hi all! Nice to hear Blood Cookie today
	1:10pm efd: @prof. fuzz that's awesome, glad I could spark that connection.
	1:10pm clarke: the hamster is LOOOSE!
	1:12pm Androu B.: Just heard the Vintage Crop track on Monday on another station. It really grew on me!
	1:13pm efd: @Androu another station ?! [gasps]
	1:15pm Stevel: What is "another station"?
	1:15pm LesleyK: Hi efd and all!
	1:17pm prof.fuzz: i should really try to get jean caffeine on a bill with liz burrito...
	1:17pm ?: Other stations exist, y'all. Happy to burst your bubble.
	1:18pm clarke: they just aren't as consistently good.
	1:19pm Androu B.: If you must know, it's WPRB, and I believe it was on a show that showcases new music who's host also goes by a 3-letter set of initials, KBC.
	1:20pm Figgsrock: Ooh, so cool to finally hear this on the radio.
	1:21pm efd: jfc. y'all have no sense of humor??
	1:21pm Meesalikeu: half rem is better than no rem
	1:21pm sufferwords: many years many tears- Vinny L.A. misses ya pal
	1:22pm Figgsrock: Humor? In this economy? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within our radios?
	1:22pm efd: I'll also note that that questionmark commenter with the snarky comment looks to be a regular, usually friendly commenter here who posted anonymously.
	1:22pm clarke: yes!
	1:23pm Robm: @? No shit other stations are around, we just choose to listen to this one
	1:23pm nycmusicnerd: When I try to explain to non-western PA people who Mike Lange is, the best analogy I can come up with is 'the Vin Scully of hockey'. RIP
	1:23pm G: @efd: Some people are snarky and sneaky haha
	1:23pm Carmichael: Other stations suck.
	1:23pm prof.fuzz: "baseball been berry berry good to me..." -- Chico Escuela
	1:24pm clarke: hey G!!! you in nashville??
	1:24pm Dano59: typing a comment is a blow for freedom.
	1:24pm clarke: good tune!!!
	1:24pm Androu B.: Correction: the hosts name/initials is KPC.
	1:24pm Roberto: There's no denying Vin's greatness. I just wish he hadn't spent all those years enabling Farmer John's animal cruelty.
	1:25pm Dano59: The KQRS archive on radiotapes has a funny late-80s interview with John Miller including his Vin Scully impression.
	1:25pm Figgsrock: Oh man EFD, this Left Banke hits a bit too close to home!
	1:26pm G: @clarke: Just got back from Nashville late yesterday afternoon. In New Orleans just in time for yet another huge deluge, such great luck haha... Catching up today on a zillion things I couldn't get to when out of town. How are things on your end?
	1:26pm clarke: @G: i noticed a police barrier around the entire Tracy's Bar??? also, they haven't been open in weeks?? any story??
	1:26pm Robm: @xarnichael I would not go that far about other stations, i listen to a couple when there is a show I don’t want to hear
	1:27pm Meesalikeu: @efd — insert micheal jackson thriller eating popcorn gif for ‘fmu online drama lol
	1:27pm Robm: I meant Carmichael sorry
	1:27pm nathan: this is pretty good... i had no idea about this reunion album
	1:28pm efd: for the record I would never expect anyone to listen to WFMU exclusively. I thought it was clear that I was feigning horror at the thought.
	1:28pm clarke: all songs are really good, nathan!
	1:28pm clarke: we know, EFD!!
	1:29pm Meesalikeu: sorry dodgers fans rip vin the legend, but the late joe tait > the late vin scully.
	1:29pm BH: Greetings from the room where the orange cat just shared a bed with his nemesis, the tabby kitten. Only for the whole thing to fall apart once licking devolved into the kitten trying to wrestle the orange cat again
	1:30pm G: @clarke: Haven't heard anything about Tracy's, but was away for most of a week. Maybe I'll hear something...
	1:30pm Carmichael: @Robm, that's because (unlike me) you're a nice guy. And I kinda like xarnichael ...
	1:31pm clarke: take a walk by there, when (today's) monsoon ends
	1:31pm Meesalikeu: @efd — yaaarrr it was clear!
	1:31pm G: K :-)
	1:31pm clarke: yessss!!! quad~~
	1:31pm Figgsrock: whoa--for a second I thought my radio dial changed!
	1:32pm Figgsrock: Ah, I thought it sounded a bit different--the soundtrack version!
	1:32pm Destroit: Ya know, sometimes a good Who song just hits the spot
	1:32pm clarke: ah, the version from the sountrack has the horns up more.
	1:32pm nycmusicnerd: I bounce around between 3-4 different radio stations (all public). I wish there were 1 station that could give me everything I'm looking for, but...having several public radio stations to choose from is better than none at all.
	1:32pm Robm: @EFD we know what you meant, there are a couple of programs that i really never listen too, and instead of lurking on the accu trying not to make snarky comments i just choose to listen to something else.
	1:33pm efd: I love the horns
	1:33pm Meesalikeu: this dino reminds me — i still really like slit skirts best.
	1:33pm clarke: air horns??
	1:34pm Pax: good afternoon Evan funk Davies. Also commonly known as sarcasm.@1:28
	1:34pm Robm: @Carmichael thanks a lt means a lot
	1:34pm Figgsrock: @EFD I had no idea that this remixed version was released as a single in 1979.
	1:35pm clarke: it got a little airplay figgs
	1:36pm Robm: And carmichael glad you liked my misspelling:)
	1:36pm Various Julius: oh no
	1:36pm katie: Nothing beats the version on the original lp. The oceanic drums get me every time.
	1:36pm clarke: there was about a ten-year period when i listened to Quadrophenia in entirety about once a week.
	1:36pm Figgsrock: @clarke Yeah, number-45 on the Hot 100 Wiki informs me. I love learning something new about music I've known forever.
	1:37pm nathan: oh shit, it's a tWHOfer (sorry)
	1:37pm drr: I'm back! @clarke: I have never heard Quadrophenia. Is it good?
	1:37pm efd: @Various this was a last-second switchup, for better or worse
	1:37pm Meesalikeu: @robm — thank you. i flip between here and our staten cousin, maker park radio, and the lot radio in w’burg, so its easy to move around and keep it all local. of course wfmu is best granddaddy!
	1:37pm Carmichael: I saw Richard Thompson sing this a looong time ago ...
	1:38pm drr: cool bass sound on Airport 77s.
	1:38pm clarke: Quad has been a faithful companion, since i got it the week it came out!!
	1:38pm Figgsrock: Oh wow, I just realized the Airport 77s are doing a mash-up.
	1:38pm drr: I just....missed it somehow.
	1:38pm Meesalikeu: kewl who-fer!
	1:38pm Various Julius: @drr Thanks! My fussy Rickenbacker was behaving that week.
	1:39pm efd: now the question is do I let it roll through the tag at the end...
	1:39pm Robm: @Messalikeu what is the website for maker park radio, and lot radio is good, got to listen to it more.
	1:39pm clarke: well, dave, somehow i missed a lot of stuff - one that comes to mind, this morning is FMac's Mirage album - which was considered a "failure" - it is really, really good.
	1:39pm Various Julius: Yeah we really lucked out getting the last track on that...
	1:40pm efd: answer: yes
	1:40pm Figgsrock: Oh that tag was great.
	1:40pm morphe': True story ??? of "Casey at the Bat" https://www.mlb.com/news/what-was-casey-at-the-bat-based-on
	1:41pm Various Julius: oof it's extended on the CD - I've only heard the LP
	1:41pm clarke: coincidentally, one of the original owners of JEM Records passed away recently.
	1:41pm Pax: @nathan: no guts, no glory. So never be sorry. I don't know how many times I went for it myself and just fell flat. But it never stopped me from repeating my mistakes. hehe
	1:42pm clarke: also DRR - i have an extra copy of Quad for you (when i get to my records)!! i just buy them when i see them.
	1:43pm drr: All right!
	1:43pm Hoboken Jack: I alerted Mr. Morrow of the Paranoid Style spin.
	1:43pm clarke: also dave: frostop has been closed all week due to being a film location. the shoot ends tomorrow, i think?
	1:44pm elliotdr: what was the name of the comp that was just mentioned? tuned out for a split second n missed it
	1:44pm PB: Coming back to Teenage Head for a minute, the Greater Toronto Area (including Hamilton) had a pretty happening punk scene back in the day.
	1:45pm Dano59: Jem also has a tribute to Brian Wilson. A search for Lisa Mychols & Super 8 brought me to them.
	1:45pm Androu B.: @elliotdr - 3rd column from the right
	1:46pm Meesalikeu: @robm — we live in st george and makerpark is right down the street. they have lots of live events — love them very worth dropping by for — https://makerparkradio.nyc
	1:46pm Figgsrock: Was that the Kompilation Korner this week, EFD?
	1:46pm clarke: with FREE bathrooms!!!
	1:47pm drr: @Various Julius: y'all have a bandcamp?
	1:47pm ChukAmok: @efd Busy running around at work and had not realized I was not signed in when I commented that. No snark intended, just sticking up for the community of community stations. Also: I very poor at sarcasm on purpose.
	1:48pm Hoboken Jack: I believe it's simply the Exchange Place light rail station.
	1:48pm Robm: @Meesalikeu thanks will check it out later
	1:49pm clarke: ha ha ha ha
	1:49pm clarke: NEW Bethlehem - ahem!!
	1:50pm Meesalikeu: yay for wfmu second saturdays — and monty hall
	1:51pm Various Julius: @drr we're at theairport77s.bandcamp.com
	1:52pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--do you guys have a ballpark for when the full album will be out?
	1:53pm efd: @Figgsrock no kk this week!
	1:53pm clarke: a VERY Records intro!!
	1:53pm elliotdr: @Androu B. thanks!
	1:54pm Gregory Lopez: Evan, I've been listening to your show since 2003. The Damned play with Blondie tomorrow in Asbury Park. I saw them play with The Misfits in 2004. It was a great show. Great melodies. Nice to still be able to listen to the "Funk" Davies Show after all these years.
	1:54pm Hoboken Jack: This sounds great! EFD, I would also suggest for you the Bad Bad Hats on Don Giovanni if you haven't heard them. Really strong pop!
	1:55pm efd: I wish Jem would put their releases on bandcamp. If they do I can't find them.
	1:55pm Various Julius: The new record is out Sept. 30. Everything's done as of a couple weeks ago.
	1:55pm efd: @Gregory thank you! Enjoy the show tomorrow!
	1:55pm clarke: noted, Jack!
	1:56pm efd: @Jack thanks for the rec, I'll have a listen
	1:56pm Gregory Lopez: Will do!
	1:56pm nycmusicnerd: Speaking of upcoming shows, is anyone going to see Nick Lowe at TV Eye tonight?
	1:59pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--excellent news! I look forward to buying it.
	2:00pm Various Julius: Hope you like it!
	2:01pm morphe': PB "NO SKIN OFF MY ASS" a great Toronto Gay Punk film (fict)
	2:02pm prof.fuzz: @various J: Woot! looking forward to the album.
	2:02pm clarke: streetlights just came on in my 'hood.
	2:04pm McGroovey: @clarke are there dark clouds overhead?
	2:04pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--I'm sure I will. Last year's single had me primed for a full LP.
	2:05pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: it actually rained for about three minutes up here yesterday. of course, we were in the studio at the time...
	2:05pm clarke: oh yeah McG!! and lightning.
	2:06pm clarke: good news on BOTH fronts, FuZZZ
	2:06pm drr: @clarke: the St Claude bridge approaches were pretty flooded when I went over it around noon.I understand how that is possible but it still seems weird.
	2:06pm McGroovey: @Gregory Lopez The Damned in Asbury Park is without Blondie, unless I have been misled. I have a ticket, and still welcome riders-along from Hudson County etc.
	2:07pm clarke: how did that session go???
	2:08pm clarke: i thought you lived on this side of the canal??
	2:08pm Roberto: I thought that was the drum intro to Institutionalized.
	2:08pm McGroovey: I just re-checked, since I am someone who gets things wrong sometimes. No Blondie. THU 11 AUG THE DAMNED AT THE STONE PONY THE DAMNED Baby Shakes Night Birds
	2:09pm clarke: sounds like a winner, McG!!
	2:11pm McGroovey: I've seen Baby Shakes (at Monty Hall?). Not sure about Night Birds, though the name sounds familiar, so maybe they've been at Monty Hall also. (in the Before Time, I was a frequent volunteer at Monty Hall.)
	2:11pm drr: @clarke, nope, I'm a block from Jackson Barracks, about 150 yards from the Mississippi. Steps from St. Bernard.
	2:12pm clarke: The Before Time.
	2:12pm Hoboken Jack: Just realized I was already following Ex-Void as they rose from the ashes of Joanna Gruesome who I really loved.
	2:13pm clarke: @jack - morrow's mom was a neighbor of mine on cape cod, when i lived there.
	2:14pm clarke: gotcha dave!
	2:15pm Figgsrock: Time...keeps flowing like a river, EFD.
	2:17pm Hoboken Jack: Cool, Clarke! He's posted photos from up there.
	2:17pm Hughie Considine: Grooviness!
	2:18pm clarke: yes - nice place to live, for a while.
	2:24pm efd: @clarke where on the Cape did you live? My Mom lived in in Dennis for a few years before moving to Fla, and I/my family spent a lot of time there vacationing years ago.
	2:25pm drr: I love living out here, but I wouldn't consider the roads to be "paved".
	2:25pm clarke: i lived in wellfleet near ocean view drive
	2:26pm efd: oh lovely!
	2:26pm clarke: i wouldn't consider most of new orleans to be 'paved'
	2:27pm clarke: unfortunately, the cape is changing so fast with corporate stuff coming in. i'm glad that i lived there, when it was a secret.
	2:27pm G: @clarke: The Oversize Pothole Capital of the US.
	2:28pm clarke: "you could drown in there!!!"
	2:29pm Gregory Lopez: I am good, McGroovey. Very nice of you.
	2:29pm clarke: riding a bike actually rattles your brain (or what is left of it).
	2:30pm drr: Still laughing about when I rode my bike into a pothole in a driving rainstorm in N.O. I was sure I would go over the handlebars, hard, but the pothole was so big the whole bike fit in it and I just rode out the other side.
	2:30pm clarke: it IS a danger, dave!
	2:31pm clarke: when the streets flood you cain't see no potholes!
	2:34pm clarke: ok, it's a bit brighter, now. streetlights back off.
	2:38pm clarke: and, in case anyone was wondering: there IS a section of new orleans that has nice new streets - The Black Pearl area just got paved (after 2 years under construction!).
	2:40pm clarke: (The Black Pearl is a section that hardly anyone goes to, btw, near the riverbend area).
	2:41pm Androu B.: @clarke - Since you're on that, have they heightened the levees any since Hurricane Katrina?
	2:41pm clarke: not really - some levees have been re-enforced, tho.
	2:43pm clarke: the main flooding during katrina came mostly because the floodgates near metarie failed
	2:43pm clarke: that area has been re-worked, thankfully!
	2:43pm Creature Boy: I know Orville, met him in a Los Angeles alleyway
	2:43pm Androu B.: How about the drainage system? Has it been improved?
	2:44pm Mike Sin: Crankin' up Orvy in the car -- Out and about on this "cooler" day.
	2:44pm clarke: not really, androu - this mayor sucks (of course) there is no maintenance of gutters, the sewage and water board is (again) completly corrupt - it is a mess.
	2:45pm clarke: luckily, the Corps Of Engineers is on top of things - it's about the only good thing going on, here.
	2:47pm Androu B.: That's awful! What about the Old District? Anything new there?
	2:47pm efd: hey Mike, enjoy driving with the windows rolled down!
	2:47pm clarke: another scary thing about here: there are STILL so many blue roofs (meaning blue tarps) -- and a sixty mile an hour wind will take those off - much less any tropical storm or worse.
	2:48pm clarke: hmm.. perhaps you mean the Garden District??
	2:48pm Androu B.: The more popular area of NO, where they celebrate Mardi Gras.
	2:49pm drr: He means the Vieux Carré.
	2:49pm clarke: the Garden District, Lower Garden District (where i live) and Irish Channel (where G lives) are old parts - and they are on a ridge which makes it better than mid-city which is basically a bowl.
	2:50pm clarke: yeah if you mean the French Quarter - it is on a slight ridge.
	2:51pm drr: The French Quarter is where tourists celebrate Mardi Gras.
	2:51pm clarke: ha ha ha - i was trying to figure out how to explain dat.
	2:52pm McGroovey: @clarke @drr This is life, when you build a city in a swamp, and people are reluctant to spend money on city services. Drainage improvements? Pffff. Only those that they can talk the Federal Government into paying for. High blue state taxes pay for things the red states get the Feds to pay for. That's how the red states keep the taxes low. My wife would like to move back to New Orleans, but I feel like it's not a place with a future.
	2:52pm drr: Not that that is so bad, we are happy have the French Quarter and the tourists.
	2:52pm clarke: the mayor doesn't want the feds tampering in her money!!
	2:53pm drr: I like this Orchids song.
	2:53pm prof.fuzz: dig the new orvy track. and i need to pick up the horsegirl record. as always, EFD costing me money.
	2:53pm clarke: it's a gooder!
	2:54pm Androu B.: I was just asking if there was anything new in the French Quarter in terms of the community in general.
	2:55pm drr: I'd like to get out of New Orleans. I've moved here THREE times. But now I have a girlfriend with a big piece of land she's ensconced in. It's directly by the levee. All we can do is hope.
	2:55pm clarke: not really 'new'
	2:56pm drr: Androu: I'd say nah, not really. They did some improvements on Bourbon Street (a street only an insane person would attempt to drive on).
	2:56pm clarke: the drainage system depends on these huge pumps. i don't know about this year, but last year, they had two pumps down for maintenance at the height of hurricane season. there is no oversight, here, and everyone is just trying to grab a piece of corrupt money.
	2:57pm drr: The point of it is to be not new.
	2:58pm Figgsrock: Whoa, this is NEW godfathers?
	2:58pm Hoboken Jack: Tremendous show, EFD, thank you so much!
	2:58pm prof.fuzz: that godfather's track has a serious iggy-bowie vibe going on.
	2:58pm clarke: thanks EFD - once again: fantastic!!
	2:58pm Hoboken Jack: PS I'm seeing Horsegirl tonight!
	2:59pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks efd!
	2:59pm drr: @clarke: you're the second person I know who says "It's a gooder!" about songs. Does that come from somewhere??
	2:59pm prof.fuzz: yeehaw, H-Jack!
	2:59pm clarke: have fun jack!!
	2:59pm clarke: dunno dave??
	3:00pm prof.fuzz: thanks efd! stay well, y'all!
	3:00pm Various Julius: Thanks efd!
	3:00pm Androu B.: Yes, I know they're pretty conservative-minded in that part of NO, so I would imagine little change goes on in terms of progress. My oldest niece spent two weeks there on vacation one summer. Thanks, efd!
	3:00pm drr: @Androu: there is an OKAY new park on the riverfront where it used to just be scrub land. It's just OK, there's not much shade, but theres a fun covered area where people go to roller skate. So that's new. And bye, y'all.
	3:00pm Gregory Lopez: Birth, School, Work, Death. Bye!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from August 10, 2022

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. Dec 4th, Noon - 3pm: Freaky Wilderness (More info...)
Brooklyn’s Freaky Wilderness includes members of Space Merchants, whose 2018 album landed in EFD’s top 10 of that year. They bring their heavy, fuzzy sound to the WFMU airwaves just days before the release of their debut album Immeasurable Heaven. They’ll preview the album in this live set ahead of the album release show on Thursday Dec. 12 at Main Drag in Brooklyn.
Wed. Dec 11th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!

August 10, 2022: it's always approaching the top of the hour. With a set in memory of Gord Lewis from Teenage Head.

	12:04pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and those about to Funk. I salute you!
	12:05pm Gregory Lopez: This question mark has a name: Gregory Lopez. Not Jim Carrey by the way.
	12:05pm Brainiac from Neuron 3: Born on this date in 1947, Happy 75th birthday today to Ian Anderson, Scottish rock singer, flautist, guitarist, and songwriter (Jethro Tull - "Bungle In The Jungle"; "Aqualung"; "Locomotive Breath"; "Thick As A Brick"), born in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
	12:05pm clarke: outta tha' starting gate with DYNO-mite!!
	12:06pm Gregory Lopez: Question mark killed the radio star, if you don't me saying. :)
	12:07pm Figgsrock: wow, haven't heard this Mats cut in a long time.
	12:07pm clarke: i know Figgs!
	12:08pm clarke: the radio star is not dead - he's only sleeeeping
	12:08pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	12:08pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Clarke, all!
	12:09pm efd: heeeyyyyy, everyone! Welcome to Wednesday afternoon (Jersey City time)! Thanks for being here today.
	12:09pm Meesalikeu: oh how i wish westerberg would stop living off the fat and unretire himself!
	12:09pm clarke: mr. S!!! howdy sir!
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: Greetings, fine people!
	12:10pm clarke: 'lo Hughie!!
	12:10pm vinylmonkee: I can see why I have no recollection of A Year at the Top: youtu.be...
	12:10pm morphe': Always thought the Replacements more hardcore? Is this out of the ordinary?
	12:10pm Carmichael: Also: 1943 Ronnie Spector [Veronica Bennett], American pop singer (The Ronettes -"Be My Baby"), born in NYC, New York (d. 2022)
	12:11pm HyperDose: Howdy Arabia hahaha Hey Jack, Carm, characters.
	12:11pm full metal monkey: Hello EFD. Hoboken Jack. And Prof
	12:12pm efd: that slow-speed startup of this song is built into the track, for the record!
	12:13pm Meesalikeu: @ morphe’ — o geez dont get me started on the arc of the replacements … i strongly suggest go read trouble boys by bob mehr for all the deets — highly recommended
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: Ahoy, Clarke!
	12:13pm Hoboken Jack: What's up, HyperD
	12:13pm clarke: what's happs in cackalacky??
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: @Morphe, in a word, yes, that was out of the ordinary for the Replacements.
	12:14pm Hughie Considine: The soupy conditions persist hereabouts.
	12:14pm Dano59: I'm going outside to paint the porch, bringing this with me
	12:15pm clarke: well thereabouts has got to be less soupy than HEREabouts!!
	12:15pm clarke: it's a veranda Dano!!!
	12:16pm Dano59: it will be when I'm done with it, @clarke. In these parts a porch has dogs sleeping under it
	12:17pm clarke: that Eleanor F was reeeeel niiiice. don't kick a sleeping dog, Dano!
	12:17pm Dano59: 'Mats fans are divided on Don't Tell a Soul, but I fall on the pro- side
	12:17pm Annette: Hi
	12:18pm clarke: i'm pro DTAS (maybe not at the time it was released as much??)
	12:18pm efd: I've always liked Don't Tell A Soul, but I'm also very much a cherrypicking Replacements fan.
	12:19pm drr: I disliked the cover art on DTAS. Just made me think, "this is not a band I would like".
	12:19pm clarke: i'm pretty all-in, but not in 'mats mode in recent years, curiously.
	12:20pm Figgsrock: I always liked DTAS, mostly because that was the first Mats album to come out while I was in college.
	12:20pm courtneynoir: I'm pro-about-2/3rds of Don't Tell A Soul and I'm being generous - and I'm a HUGE 'Mats fan so it takes a lot for me to admit even that :)
	12:20pm prof.fuzz: it's true, hyperD! hey clarke! FMM! DRR! Figgs! and of course, EFD!
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: I concur, @Dano. I also liked Warehouse: Songs and Stories, which got a similar reaction from hardcore fans of Husker Du. Despite the overly clean production, both bands were writing some of their very best songs once they finally had been at it for awhile and signed toi major labels.
	12:20pm drr: TOPT opened his show Saturday with "Takin' A Ride" and that sounded great.
	12:21pm Andres: Good,aft, efd and all! Quiet Feel felt good played loud!
	12:22pm Figgsrock: My college station went 5 songs deep on it, which was a rarity for us.
	12:22pm probablyjohn: kinda "away from the numbers" this one eh?
	12:23pm drr: I really wanted to like Warehouse:SAS. Might have been a good single disc. But that was when I finally noticed how bad all the Husker Du records sounded.
	12:23pm Figgsrock: Thank you playing this before my meeting EFD.
	12:23pm nycmusicnerd: YES!!!! XANADU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:23pm Yes: hallo everyone
	12:23pm Roberto: In Zanadoo did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree
	12:24pm clarke: hy FuZZZZ
	12:25pm Meesalikeu: watch the charming opening of xanadu on the youtubes for olivia — it encompasses everything 1970s you could ever want — such a great opener to a horrible, unwatchable movie.
	12:25pm Mister Dobalina: What's the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi? People in Dubai don't like the Flintstones but people in Abu Dhabi doooooo.
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: i think i'm just gonna loop this tune for an hour when i teach the mongol empire next spring semester...
	12:25pm iamstiv: Blimey, sounds like the 13th Floor Elevators lifted that whole Kinks b-side for Tried To Hide
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: True that all the Du's LPs had production issues. I remember speaking with Grant Hart before a show in Durham and he said that Bob had total control and wouldn't allow reissues for some reason. Anyone know more about this?
	12:26pm Dano59: One of the local youth theatre groups put on 'Xanadu' with roller skates last year.
	12:26pm Roberto: Some dummkopf on YouTube referred to it as "Ello."
	12:27pm Hoboken Jack: Hughie, I'd be interested in confirmation. Been hoping for a reissue of Warehouse!
	12:28pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The Husker Du records (New Day Rising in particular) have a modern parallel with what Brendan O'Brian did with Springsteen's "Magic" LP. Bass completely torn out and mids/highs just compressed all to hell.
	12:29pm ghost: Efd good afternoon!
	12:29pm Dano59: I loved a lot of Olivia's country crossover stuff. Working with Jeff Lynne also kind of elevated her for me, all the laffs we had about 'Olivia Neutron Bomb' aside. (a Howard Hesseman joke?)
	12:29pm Carmichael: ELO and ONJ on EFD!
	12:30pm Meesalikeu: @woods as sn old ‘mats, ‘du & ‘brooce fan you are 100% correct
	12:30pm drr: @Woods: and the drums sound like someone drumming their fingers on a cardboard box.
	12:31pm clarke: the drag album title is a ref to Easy Rider. and yes, Tom Lord-Alge and Chris and their other brother are ALL engineer/producers!
	12:31pm Hughie Considine: The Lord-Alges are from Tenafly! (Pronounced like algae)
	12:31pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Meesalikeu: I began to wonder about Bruce's hearing after that. A shame because I love the songs on that one. @drr: Kind of like late-era Alex Van Halen...two pop tarts being whacked together.
	12:31pm Bean: Sorry if I'm late to the party but, @EFD, when is the Summer Disco Dance Show?!
	12:32pm drr: @Woods: I'm gonna try that thing with the pop tarts!
	12:32pm HyperDose: @Hughie No way! Thanks for that uber cool factoid
	12:33pm Hoboken Jack: Another NJ connection on that Drag record: photography by Asbury Park's Danny Clinch.
	12:35pm drr: I gotta head out and it is POURING. Maybe one of these days I'll get....a raincoat?
	12:35pm clarke: yeah, it is POURING about as hard as i can remember, uptown.
	12:36pm clarke: bookend the test with CNSMAH!!!!
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: I love that my hometown of Tenafly was home to many big names like Lesley Gore, Paul Anka, Jimmy Dean among them. Glen Miller too. And of course the Lord-Alges. And Tenafly is a stone's throw from the Van Gelder Studio and Sugar Hill Records in Englewood. So much musical history on that side of the Hudson.
	12:38pm Meesalikeu: @woodsyes i worry about bruce’s hearing, mental health and maybe alzheimers too. but western stars is the best record in years and has the best sound of any of his records, except for seeger sessions and the ties that bind (proto river single album). those three are his only great studio records in term of sound (although seeger was recorded live).
	12:39pm Alvy Singer: Article from the Toronto Sun about Gord Lewis. torontosun.com...
	12:39pm dale: thanks to you and creamo for playing this great band. they don't get enough airplay
	12:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Meesalikeu: Agreed on all fronts. I love that record to pieces.
	12:44pm dale: love this one.
	12:45pm Meesalikeu: @woods — i actually think seeger sessions is thee best sound of all for our nj guy bruce, i love the record and idea of it, but bruce himself knocks it down it a bit in terms of listening pleasure by shouting the songs too much. as a fan since greetings when i was a little kid sorry i could go on and on on bruce … lol
	12:45pm Androu B.: Hello Evan & Funksters! Found out about Gord yesterday on the MSN news feed. Horrible story. According to the Sun, "Police said that they were unable to positively identify the body due to the level of decomposition." That would suggest he was likely killed sometime the week before.
	12:47pm efd: @Androu agreed, just awful.
	12:49pm Hughie Considine: @Meesalikeu I was a college student when Bruce and the E Street Band were rehearsing for The River tour in a studio in Litiitz, PA. A bunch of us went over and stood outside the studio and eventually he invited us all inside and they played the Mitch Ryder medley.
	12:52pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Great tribute to a great band, Evan. I used to see them all the time. Gordie was a great human being.
	12:53pm efd: thanks so much Glynis, that means a lot.
	12:55pm Andres: RIP Gord. Huge loss. Great songs. Incredible live energy. Just plain one of the greatest bands.
	12:55pm love2laf: Thank you EFD, teared up a lot, but also brought back so many great memories of seeing them way back in the day.
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: Did not know this band. What a tragedy.
	12:58pm prof.fuzz: Dominate!!!
	12:59pm Meesalikeu: @hughie — thats cool i met him as a kid on the river tour before the show outside the venue, which was suburban cleveland richfield coliseum. i also saw him walking out of his favorite nyc bars a couple times, so just missed him. i can say now since they are no more — tortilla flats in the west village/meatpacking and miladys in soho — lol.
	1:01pm Tinley Park Randy: Got a parquet courts sound
	1:03pm Destroit: Hi EFD, hi everyone. Frequently listening to the EFD show, but barely comment for some reason….you know how it goes….i’m supposed to be working haha
	1:04pm Meesalikeu: @tinley it defnitely does. that or a dry cleaning vibe.
	1:06pm Hughie Considine: I knew both of those places well, @Meesalikeu. Nice memories
	1:06pm efd: @Destroit if you're typing a comment it could look like you're working! :) Thanks for listening, whether commenting or not.
	1:06pm efd: and that goes for all lurkers! No commenting required!
	1:08pm Webhamster Henry: Gamelan Alert - I was playing in mine at yesterday's rehearsal.Fans of gamelan mixed with wester instruments can check out the really good "Cork Gamelan Ensemble" and the fairly recently released "Kuda Bisa Kudu: Balungan" , both on bandcamp.
	1:09pm clarke: "whether you hear me typing..."
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: EFD: thanks for turning me on to liz burrito. we're gonna try to do a show or two together this fall.
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: oop should have gone on the drummer stream chat!
	1:10pm efd: @Henry I think you're in the wrong room! :)
	1:10pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Well I’ve been lurking - hi all! Nice to hear Blood Cookie today
	1:10pm efd: @prof. fuzz that's awesome, glad I could spark that connection.
	1:10pm clarke: the hamster is LOOOSE!
	1:12pm Androu B.: Just heard the Vintage Crop track on Monday on another station. It really grew on me!
	1:13pm efd: @Androu another station ?! [gasps]
	1:15pm Stevel: What is "another station"?
	1:15pm LesleyK: Hi efd and all!
	1:17pm prof.fuzz: i should really try to get jean caffeine on a bill with liz burrito...
	1:17pm ?: Other stations exist, y'all. Happy to burst your bubble.
	1:18pm clarke: they just aren't as consistently good.
	1:19pm Androu B.: If you must know, it's WPRB, and I believe it was on a show that showcases new music who's host also goes by a 3-letter set of initials, KBC.
	1:20pm Figgsrock: Ooh, so cool to finally hear this on the radio.
	1:21pm efd: jfc. y'all have no sense of humor??
	1:21pm Meesalikeu: half rem is better than no rem
	1:21pm sufferwords: many years many tears- Vinny L.A. misses ya pal
	1:22pm Figgsrock: Humor? In this economy? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within our radios?
	1:22pm efd: I'll also note that that questionmark commenter with the snarky comment looks to be a regular, usually friendly commenter here who posted anonymously.
	1:22pm clarke: yes!
	1:23pm Robm: @? No shit other stations are around, we just choose to listen to this one
	1:23pm nycmusicnerd: When I try to explain to non-western PA people who Mike Lange is, the best analogy I can come up with is 'the Vin Scully of hockey'. RIP
	1:23pm G: @efd: Some people are snarky and sneaky haha
	1:23pm Carmichael: Other stations suck.
	1:23pm prof.fuzz: "baseball been berry berry good to me..." -- Chico Escuela
	1:24pm clarke: hey G!!! you in nashville??
	1:24pm Dano59: typing a comment is a blow for freedom.
	1:24pm clarke: good tune!!!
	1:24pm Androu B.: Correction: the hosts name/initials is KPC.
	1:24pm Roberto: There's no denying Vin's greatness. I just wish he hadn't spent all those years enabling Farmer John's animal cruelty.
	1:25pm Dano59: The KQRS archive on radiotapes has a funny late-80s interview with John Miller including his Vin Scully impression.
	1:25pm Figgsrock: Oh man EFD, this Left Banke hits a bit too close to home!
	1:26pm G: @clarke: Just got back from Nashville late yesterday afternoon. In New Orleans just in time for yet another huge deluge, such great luck haha... Catching up today on a zillion things I couldn't get to when out of town. How are things on your end?
	1:26pm clarke: @G: i noticed a police barrier around the entire Tracy's Bar??? also, they haven't been open in weeks?? any story??
	1:26pm Robm: @xarnichael I would not go that far about other stations, i listen to a couple when there is a show I don’t want to hear
	1:27pm Meesalikeu: @efd — insert micheal jackson thriller eating popcorn gif for ‘fmu online drama lol
	1:27pm Robm: I meant Carmichael sorry
	1:27pm nathan: this is pretty good... i had no idea about this reunion album
	1:28pm efd: for the record I would never expect anyone to listen to WFMU exclusively. I thought it was clear that I was feigning horror at the thought.
	1:28pm clarke: all songs are really good, nathan!
	1:28pm clarke: we know, EFD!!
	1:29pm Meesalikeu: sorry dodgers fans rip vin the legend, but the late joe tait > the late vin scully.
	1:29pm BH: Greetings from the room where the orange cat just shared a bed with his nemesis, the tabby kitten. Only for the whole thing to fall apart once licking devolved into the kitten trying to wrestle the orange cat again
	1:30pm G: @clarke: Haven't heard anything about Tracy's, but was away for most of a week. Maybe I'll hear something...
	1:30pm Carmichael: @Robm, that's because (unlike me) you're a nice guy. And I kinda like xarnichael ...
	1:31pm clarke: take a walk by there, when (today's) monsoon ends
	1:31pm Meesalikeu: @efd — yaaarrr it was clear!
	1:31pm G: K :-)
	1:31pm clarke: yessss!!! quad~~
	1:31pm Figgsrock: whoa--for a second I thought my radio dial changed!
	1:32pm Figgsrock: Ah, I thought it sounded a bit different--the soundtrack version!
	1:32pm Destroit: Ya know, sometimes a good Who song just hits the spot
	1:32pm clarke: ah, the version from the sountrack has the horns up more.
	1:32pm nycmusicnerd: I bounce around between 3-4 different radio stations (all public). I wish there were 1 station that could give me everything I'm looking for, but...having several public radio stations to choose from is better than none at all.
	1:32pm Robm: @EFD we know what you meant, there are a couple of programs that i really never listen too, and instead of lurking on the accu trying not to make snarky comments i just choose to listen to something else.
	1:33pm efd: I love the horns
	1:33pm Meesalikeu: this dino reminds me — i still really like slit skirts best.
	1:33pm clarke: air horns??
	1:34pm Pax: good afternoon Evan funk Davies. Also commonly known as sarcasm.@1:28
	1:34pm Robm: @Carmichael thanks a lt means a lot
	1:34pm Figgsrock: @EFD I had no idea that this remixed version was released as a single in 1979.
	1:35pm clarke: it got a little airplay figgs
	1:36pm Robm: And carmichael glad you liked my misspelling:)
	1:36pm Various Julius: oh no
	1:36pm katie: Nothing beats the version on the original lp. The oceanic drums get me every time.
	1:36pm clarke: there was about a ten-year period when i listened to Quadrophenia in entirety about once a week.
	1:36pm Figgsrock: @clarke Yeah, number-45 on the Hot 100 Wiki informs me. I love learning something new about music I've known forever.
	1:37pm nathan: oh shit, it's a tWHOfer (sorry)
	1:37pm drr: I'm back! @clarke: I have never heard Quadrophenia. Is it good?
	1:37pm efd: @Various this was a last-second switchup, for better or worse
	1:37pm Meesalikeu: @robm — thank you. i flip between here and our staten cousin, maker park radio, and the lot radio in w’burg, so its easy to move around and keep it all local. of course wfmu is best granddaddy!
	1:37pm Carmichael: I saw Richard Thompson sing this a looong time ago ...
	1:38pm drr: cool bass sound on Airport 77s.
	1:38pm clarke: Quad has been a faithful companion, since i got it the week it came out!!
	1:38pm Figgsrock: Oh wow, I just realized the Airport 77s are doing a mash-up.
	1:38pm drr: I just....missed it somehow.
	1:38pm Meesalikeu: kewl who-fer!
	1:38pm Various Julius: @drr Thanks! My fussy Rickenbacker was behaving that week.
	1:39pm efd: now the question is do I let it roll through the tag at the end...
	1:39pm Robm: @Messalikeu what is the website for maker park radio, and lot radio is good, got to listen to it more.
	1:39pm clarke: well, dave, somehow i missed a lot of stuff - one that comes to mind, this morning is FMac's Mirage album - which was considered a "failure" - it is really, really good.
	1:39pm Various Julius: Yeah we really lucked out getting the last track on that...
	1:40pm efd: answer: yes
	1:40pm Figgsrock: Oh that tag was great.
	1:40pm morphe': True story ??? of "Casey at the Bat" https://www.mlb.com/news/what-was-casey-at-the-bat-based-on
	1:41pm Various Julius: oof it's extended on the CD - I've only heard the LP
	1:41pm clarke: coincidentally, one of the original owners of JEM Records passed away recently.
	1:41pm Pax: @nathan: no guts, no glory. So never be sorry. I don't know how many times I went for it myself and just fell flat. But it never stopped me from repeating my mistakes. hehe
	1:42pm clarke: also DRR - i have an extra copy of Quad for you (when i get to my records)!! i just buy them when i see them.
	1:43pm drr: All right!
	1:43pm Hoboken Jack: I alerted Mr. Morrow of the Paranoid Style spin.
	1:43pm clarke: also dave: frostop has been closed all week due to being a film location. the shoot ends tomorrow, i think?
	1:44pm elliotdr: what was the name of the comp that was just mentioned? tuned out for a split second n missed it
	1:44pm PB: Coming back to Teenage Head for a minute, the Greater Toronto Area (including Hamilton) had a pretty happening punk scene back in the day.
	1:45pm Dano59: Jem also has a tribute to Brian Wilson. A search for Lisa Mychols & Super 8 brought me to them.
	1:45pm Androu B.: @elliotdr - 3rd column from the right
	1:46pm Meesalikeu: @robm — we live in st george and makerpark is right down the street. they have lots of live events — love them very worth dropping by for — https://makerparkradio.nyc
	1:46pm Figgsrock: Was that the Kompilation Korner this week, EFD?
	1:46pm clarke: with FREE bathrooms!!!
	1:47pm drr: @Various Julius: y'all have a bandcamp?
	1:47pm ChukAmok: @efd Busy running around at work and had not realized I was not signed in when I commented that. No snark intended, just sticking up for the community of community stations. Also: I very poor at sarcasm on purpose.
	1:48pm Hoboken Jack: I believe it's simply the Exchange Place light rail station.
	1:48pm Robm: @Meesalikeu thanks will check it out later
	1:49pm clarke: ha ha ha ha
	1:49pm clarke: NEW Bethlehem - ahem!!
	1:50pm Meesalikeu: yay for wfmu second saturdays — and monty hall
	1:51pm Various Julius: @drr we're at theairport77s.bandcamp.com
	1:52pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--do you guys have a ballpark for when the full album will be out?
	1:53pm efd: @Figgsrock no kk this week!
	1:53pm clarke: a VERY Records intro!!
	1:53pm elliotdr: @Androu B. thanks!
	1:54pm Gregory Lopez: Evan, I've been listening to your show since 2003. The Damned play with Blondie tomorrow in Asbury Park. I saw them play with The Misfits in 2004. It was a great show. Great melodies. Nice to still be able to listen to the "Funk" Davies Show after all these years.
	1:54pm Hoboken Jack: This sounds great! EFD, I would also suggest for you the Bad Bad Hats on Don Giovanni if you haven't heard them. Really strong pop!
	1:55pm efd: I wish Jem would put their releases on bandcamp. If they do I can't find them.
	1:55pm Various Julius: The new record is out Sept. 30. Everything's done as of a couple weeks ago.
	1:55pm efd: @Gregory thank you! Enjoy the show tomorrow!
	1:55pm clarke: noted, Jack!
	1:56pm efd: @Jack thanks for the rec, I'll have a listen
	1:56pm Gregory Lopez: Will do!
	1:56pm nycmusicnerd: Speaking of upcoming shows, is anyone going to see Nick Lowe at TV Eye tonight?
	1:59pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--excellent news! I look forward to buying it.
	2:00pm Various Julius: Hope you like it!
	2:01pm morphe': PB "NO SKIN OFF MY ASS" a great Toronto Gay Punk film (fict)
	2:02pm prof.fuzz: @various J: Woot! looking forward to the album.
	2:02pm clarke: streetlights just came on in my 'hood.
	2:04pm McGroovey: @clarke are there dark clouds overhead?
	2:04pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--I'm sure I will. Last year's single had me primed for a full LP.
	2:05pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: it actually rained for about three minutes up here yesterday. of course, we were in the studio at the time...
	2:05pm clarke: oh yeah McG!! and lightning.
	2:06pm clarke: good news on BOTH fronts, FuZZZ
	2:06pm drr: @clarke: the St Claude bridge approaches were pretty flooded when I went over it around noon.I understand how that is possible but it still seems weird.
	2:06pm McGroovey: @Gregory Lopez The Damned in Asbury Park is without Blondie, unless I have been misled. I have a ticket, and still welcome riders-along from Hudson County etc.
	2:07pm clarke: how did that session go???
	2:08pm clarke: i thought you lived on this side of the canal??
	2:08pm Roberto: I thought that was the drum intro to Institutionalized.
	2:08pm McGroovey: I just re-checked, since I am someone who gets things wrong sometimes. No Blondie. THU 11 AUG THE DAMNED AT THE STONE PONY THE DAMNED Baby Shakes Night Birds
	2:09pm clarke: sounds like a winner, McG!!
	2:11pm McGroovey: I've seen Baby Shakes (at Monty Hall?). Not sure about Night Birds, though the name sounds familiar, so maybe they've been at Monty Hall also. (in the Before Time, I was a frequent volunteer at Monty Hall.)
	2:11pm drr: @clarke, nope, I'm a block from Jackson Barracks, about 150 yards from the Mississippi. Steps from St. Bernard.
	2:12pm clarke: The Before Time.
	2:12pm Hoboken Jack: Just realized I was already following Ex-Void as they rose from the ashes of Joanna Gruesome who I really loved.
	2:13pm clarke: @jack - morrow's mom was a neighbor of mine on cape cod, when i lived there.
	2:14pm clarke: gotcha dave!
	2:15pm Figgsrock: Time...keeps flowing like a river, EFD.
	2:17pm Hoboken Jack: Cool, Clarke! He's posted photos from up there.
	2:17pm Hughie Considine: Grooviness!
	2:18pm clarke: yes - nice place to live, for a while.
	2:24pm efd: @clarke where on the Cape did you live? My Mom lived in in Dennis for a few years before moving to Fla, and I/my family spent a lot of time there vacationing years ago.
	2:25pm drr: I love living out here, but I wouldn't consider the roads to be "paved".
	2:25pm clarke: i lived in wellfleet near ocean view drive
	2:26pm efd: oh lovely!
	2:26pm clarke: i wouldn't consider most of new orleans to be 'paved'
	2:27pm clarke: unfortunately, the cape is changing so fast with corporate stuff coming in. i'm glad that i lived there, when it was a secret.
	2:27pm G: @clarke: The Oversize Pothole Capital of the US.
	2:28pm clarke: "you could drown in there!!!"
	2:29pm Gregory Lopez: I am good, McGroovey. Very nice of you.
	2:29pm clarke: riding a bike actually rattles your brain (or what is left of it).
	2:30pm drr: Still laughing about when I rode my bike into a pothole in a driving rainstorm in N.O. I was sure I would go over the handlebars, hard, but the pothole was so big the whole bike fit in it and I just rode out the other side.
	2:30pm clarke: it IS a danger, dave!
	2:31pm clarke: when the streets flood you cain't see no potholes!
	2:34pm clarke: ok, it's a bit brighter, now. streetlights back off.
	2:38pm clarke: and, in case anyone was wondering: there IS a section of new orleans that has nice new streets - The Black Pearl area just got paved (after 2 years under construction!).
	2:40pm clarke: (The Black Pearl is a section that hardly anyone goes to, btw, near the riverbend area).
	2:41pm Androu B.: @clarke - Since you're on that, have they heightened the levees any since Hurricane Katrina?
	2:41pm clarke: not really - some levees have been re-enforced, tho.
	2:43pm clarke: the main flooding during katrina came mostly because the floodgates near metarie failed
	2:43pm clarke: that area has been re-worked, thankfully!
	2:43pm Creature Boy: I know Orville, met him in a Los Angeles alleyway
	2:43pm Androu B.: How about the drainage system? Has it been improved?
	2:44pm Mike Sin: Crankin' up Orvy in the car -- Out and about on this "cooler" day.
	2:44pm clarke: not really, androu - this mayor sucks (of course) there is no maintenance of gutters, the sewage and water board is (again) completly corrupt - it is a mess.
	2:45pm clarke: luckily, the Corps Of Engineers is on top of things - it's about the only good thing going on, here.
	2:47pm Androu B.: That's awful! What about the Old District? Anything new there?
	2:47pm efd: hey Mike, enjoy driving with the windows rolled down!
	2:47pm clarke: another scary thing about here: there are STILL so many blue roofs (meaning blue tarps) -- and a sixty mile an hour wind will take those off - much less any tropical storm or worse.
	2:48pm clarke: hmm.. perhaps you mean the Garden District??
	2:48pm Androu B.: The more popular area of NO, where they celebrate Mardi Gras.
	2:49pm drr: He means the Vieux Carré.
	2:49pm clarke: the Garden District, Lower Garden District (where i live) and Irish Channel (where G lives) are old parts - and they are on a ridge which makes it better than mid-city which is basically a bowl.
	2:50pm clarke: yeah if you mean the French Quarter - it is on a slight ridge.
	2:51pm drr: The French Quarter is where tourists celebrate Mardi Gras.
	2:51pm clarke: ha ha ha - i was trying to figure out how to explain dat.
	2:52pm McGroovey: @clarke @drr This is life, when you build a city in a swamp, and people are reluctant to spend money on city services. Drainage improvements? Pffff. Only those that they can talk the Federal Government into paying for. High blue state taxes pay for things the red states get the Feds to pay for. That's how the red states keep the taxes low. My wife would like to move back to New Orleans, but I feel like it's not a place with a future.
	2:52pm drr: Not that that is so bad, we are happy have the French Quarter and the tourists.
	2:52pm clarke: the mayor doesn't want the feds tampering in her money!!
	2:53pm drr: I like this Orchids song.
	2:53pm prof.fuzz: dig the new orvy track. and i need to pick up the horsegirl record. as always, EFD costing me money.
	2:53pm clarke: it's a gooder!
	2:54pm Androu B.: I was just asking if there was anything new in the French Quarter in terms of the community in general.
	2:55pm drr: I'd like to get out of New Orleans. I've moved here THREE times. But now I have a girlfriend with a big piece of land she's ensconced in. It's directly by the levee. All we can do is hope.
	2:55pm clarke: not really 'new'
	2:56pm drr: Androu: I'd say nah, not really. They did some improvements on Bourbon Street (a street only an insane person would attempt to drive on).
	2:56pm clarke: the drainage system depends on these huge pumps. i don't know about this year, but last year, they had two pumps down for maintenance at the height of hurricane season. there is no oversight, here, and everyone is just trying to grab a piece of corrupt money.
	2:57pm drr: The point of it is to be not new.
	2:58pm Figgsrock: Whoa, this is NEW godfathers?
	2:58pm Hoboken Jack: Tremendous show, EFD, thank you so much!
	2:58pm prof.fuzz: that godfather's track has a serious iggy-bowie vibe going on.
	2:58pm clarke: thanks EFD - once again: fantastic!!
	2:58pm Hoboken Jack: PS I'm seeing Horsegirl tonight!
	2:59pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks efd!
	2:59pm drr: @clarke: you're the second person I know who says "It's a gooder!" about songs. Does that come from somewhere??
	2:59pm prof.fuzz: yeehaw, H-Jack!
	2:59pm clarke: have fun jack!!
	2:59pm clarke: dunno dave??
	3:00pm prof.fuzz: thanks efd! stay well, y'all!
	3:00pm Various Julius: Thanks efd!
	3:00pm Androu B.: Yes, I know they're pretty conservative-minded in that part of NO, so I would imagine little change goes on in terms of progress. My oldest niece spent two weeks there on vacation one summer. Thanks, efd!
	3:00pm drr: @Androu: there is an OKAY new park on the riverfront where it used to just be scrub land. It's just OK, there's not much shade, but theres a fun covered area where people go to roller skate. So that's new. And bye, y'all.
	3:00pm Gregory Lopez: Birth, School, Work, Death. Bye!
