	12:00pm Figgsrock: Sweet jebus, turning on 91.1 at 11:50ish like I normally do led to hearing some of the craziest things I've ever heard on FMU.

	12:11pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:02 81 is the 'best' route; however, the truckers are ALL over that idea.
	12:12pm pgalub: A slight Chryssie Hynde vibrato here. Hi efd and everyone!
	12:13pm Zephyr: Thanks for The Tubes song/tribute. A band that is summarily dismissed and shouldn’t be. IMO one of the greatest and most interesting American rock bands ever, the MTV years notwithstanding….
	12:13pm Thin Slice: ↳ Song: "wild rain" by "velveteen" 1953?
	12:13pm clarke: pedro!
	12:13pm efd: ↳ Thin Slice @12:13 ahead of their time! (whoops)
	12:14pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Thin Slice @12:13 Was wondering the same thing!
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Thin Slice @12:13 they were WAAAY ahead of their time!
	12:14pm clarke: jinx
	12:14pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:15pm clarke: wait? is this THE April Wine??
	12:16pm Cecile: Hey, Evan, are you gonna play any Associates/Alan Rankine?
	12:16pm efd: ↳ clarke @12:15 HELLZ YES!
	12:16pm clarke: i had no idea they were an entity.
	12:16pm Cecile: ↳ Figgsrock @12:00 I lasted ten seconds. Nope.
	12:16pm efd: ↳ Cecile @12:16 I do have an Associates track planned for later, not in this set though
	12:16pm Cecile: Thank you, that's fine!
	12:17pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:05 Good point, nycnm!!
	12:17pm RB: ↳ clarke @12:15 April Wine played at a junior high school dance when I lived in suburban Detroit. It was a BIG deal.
	12:17pm Nicepunk: “Sheila”—Beatles crossed with Matthew Sweet
	12:17pm clarke: JAAAAck
	12:17pm Hoboken Jack: Hi HyperDose and Clarke!
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: Hey all
	12:18pm clarke: frank!! howzit?
	12:18pm Joe R.: ↳ clarke @12:15 Had the same thought, Clarke! (And getting the requisite CanCon in early to boot.)
	12:18pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Nicepunk @12:17 agreed
	12:18pm efd: ↳ Nicepunk @12:17 personally I can't hear anything else but That Petrol Emotion :)
	12:18pm Cecile: I liked Roller. Don't know much about them, although i'm from The UP and a lot of Canadian bands are like regular bands here.
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: Hi clarke
	12:19pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:11 I grew up by the top end of 81. I've run the section from Scranton to Syracuse at least once a month for the past 20 years. But I've only been south of Scranton a handful of times, and south of Harrisburg only twice, driving to New Orleans both times. It's a pretty drive, but lots of trucks and stupid drivers.
	12:19pm clarke: scranton - got an EXCELLENT salad, there, the last time i went thru on 81
	12:19pm Karl Ward: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 Looking forward to your Rock N Soul show this year
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:19 i call that highway: Truckade
	12:20pm Bryant in TO: Hey efd and fellow Funksters!
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @12:19 i can second that thought!
	12:22pm HyperDose: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:17 Hey Jack! The marbling on that Chris' Pizza plain slice was a work of art
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Karl Ward @12:19 Why rhank you, Karl!
	12:22pm clarke: refresh me on WHEN that show is, pls??
	12:23pm Cecile: Are all the dB's ok?
	12:23pm clarke: dB's!!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:22 er, "thank you", but you knew that. That's what I get fr typing with one hand while trying to eat a salad with the other!
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: hey, Frank! What Karl said!
	12:23pm efd: ↳ Cecile @12:23 not every song in this set is an RIP tribute, don't worry!
	12:23pm prof.fuzz: Lots and lots of stupid truck drivers
	12:23pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "scum surfin'" by "that petrol emotion" I wanted to love That Petrol Emotion when they first appeared, because of the Undertones connection, but I've never warmed to them. This song is OK.
	12:23pm clarke: salad = goood
	12:23pm Cecile: Thank goodness.
	12:24pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "storm warning" by "the dB's" Love this whole darned album, but Storm Warning is outstanding.
	12:24pm Jim Macnie: making me cry with "storm warning" adore it. thx EFD
	12:24pm Bryant in TO: ↳ McGroovey @12:19 The Mrs and I drove to Philly last week and took 81 down starting from Syracuse. I feel like we got lucky with drivers so it was easy to enjoy the scenery (holiday traffic maybe?). Spiedies in Binghamton were a highlight.
	12:24pm Cecile: ↳ Krys O. @12:24 I've tried but I just cannot move past the first two albums. They are perfection.
	12:25pm Crosby in KC: Great opening set, EFD!
	12:25pm clarke: ALL dB's is great dB's!! i decree!
	12:25pm clarke: ANGEL!!!!
	12:25pm Figgsrock: OMG, Angel!
	12:26pm Cecile: Sorry, clarke. I've tried. I respect the hell out of them, though and love that they are still making music.
	12:26pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" Aw, I never heard Margolin sing. He was so good on Rockford Files. :(
	12:26pm clarke: "jimmy, jimmy... ya gotta help me!!! .. these guys are gonna cut off my thumbs!!"
	12:26pm Thin Slice: Sounds like John Hiatt
	12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ Bryant in TO @12:24 I'm thinking more of the congestion on 81 in Virginia and south. The section I drive is fine, except when they close a lane for construction. They love to do that in PA.
	12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:25 I'm with Clarke.
	12:28pm Bryant in TO: ↳ McGroovey @12:27 Ah, gotcha
	12:28pm clarke: oh damn RIP Stuart M!!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:23 It was! Anyway, Tuesday, Jan 10th. 6PM EST on Rock n Soul.
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:23 Thank ye, Handy!
	12:29pm Krys O.: ↳ clarke @12:26 LOL! I can hear that in his character's voice.
	12:29pm clarke: and so that is 6pm EVERY thursday, right, Frank??
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" also stuart has two cameos on Columbo.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☿Wednesday FMUvianz ~ ...no MaryWing on the DrummerStream today - so enjoying some Live efd instead of Archived ! Very nice. Blessings to All in 2023. Haz Fortune Rabbits : wfmu.org...
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:29 Tuesdays, but yes, every week at 6.
	12:31pm Krys O.: Almost two years ago I started watching The Rockford Files in chronological order. I got distracted by the fourth season. Will pick it up again, I am certain.
	12:31pm sufferwords: Love American Style
	12:31pm clarke: revvv!
	12:32pm clarke: ok - tuesday at 5 for me and ulp 3 in l.a. (where i will be for a few months).
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: He's ... the Bedazzler?!
	12:34pm clarke: handy, have you started either novella, yet?
	12:34pm clarke: or better yet, write yer own?
	12:35pm clarke: it pretty much has to be halifax, right?
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: It is high, it is far, it is ... Halifax! Started something from the last bookstore trip, clarke. I had to race to finish this massive John Le Carré book before returning to subway reading!
	12:36pm clarke: love le carre' (earlier the better)
	12:37pm Andres: Dartmouth, Yarmouth, and Truro say thems fighting words.
	12:37pm Andres: Humble early days of April Wine: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5528033
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♑︎Capricornian ⦿Solar Returns - John McLaughlin (Gittar), Eugene Chadbourne, Michael Stipe, Beth Gibbons, Robim Guthrie (Cocteaus)
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:37 can you name rock venues in those burgs?? ha ha.
	12:39pm Jason from Houston: Gosh. That quote... RIP
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: Started this, clarke: bookshop.org... RIP, Terry Hall. Great talent and, from I can tell, dude.
	12:39pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" Angel was the best TV slimeball of all time.
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:37 there IS a venue in Amherst, but too small for April Wine.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 "immortality is just a casting call away"
	12:40pm clarke: i forgot how crazy this piano part is.
	12:41pm efd: ↳ Andres @12:37 oh I know there are other cities/towns there, just doubtful they'd have a big enough venue for an April Wine show
	12:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: The venue is a place called TBA, it seems. www.aprilwine.ca...
	12:41pm clarke: exactly! although you never know how small they can go, ha ha
	12:41pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I read that Terry Hall quote and it really spoke to me. RIP.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "enjoy yourself" by "the specials" Seems everything TerryHall was involved with was Relevant & Delightful ...if perhaps not all equally well-known.
	12:42pm Andres: Wherever there is a hockey arena or a Legion there is a venue. :)
	12:42pm clarke: unless its hockey season
	12:42pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo all! Rushing to prep for a 1 PM meeting, just dropping in to say Hi....
	12:43pm Andres: Picked up a copy of Our Lips Are Sealed yesterday. Huge loss.
	12:43pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Andres @12:37 Huh, didn't realize April Wine was from Halifax (okay, technically Waverley).
	12:43pm herb.nyc: Terry Hall, take care and have fun wherever you are. Evan, maybe he’d like to hear Andy Williams sing “happy heart” (loved that song when my sis played his record)
	12:43pm Andres: Jimmy Fallon’s character in almost famous knows who to talk to to get the ice covered. No problem.
	12:45pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "friday night saturday morning" by "the specials" A frequent ear worm in high school.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 a tale of pre-code hollywood - right up my alley. let me know if it's good.
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @12:45 I so wish my sisters (classes of '79 and '81) had been listening to this in high school! Would have saved me a lot of time.
	12:47pm iLikedWaterworld: lmao
	12:47pm Will thee Sound Guy: Good afternoon efd and all!!! Rest in Power Terry Hall! Happy first show of 2023 Evan!
	12:48pm clarke: willlburrrr!!
	12:49pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I remember being so excited by the Ghost Town 12" at the time. Played it constantly.
	12:49pm Cecile: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:47 I was listening to them then and my younger sisters appreciated it I think.
	12:50pm Will thee Sound Guy: Listening since 12:20... on my lunch break... Gotta get back to it soon 🤦‍♂️
	12:50pm JetBoy of Astoria: Hello efd and all
	12:50pm Andres: Rocked the disco night on Father Ted. So great. Fave of my collection.
	12:50pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "ghost town" by "the specials" I play in a Ska band that covers this and Gangsters. Great tunes.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @12:50 what's for lunch, Will??
	12:51pm Mike Sin: Always great to hear more and more Specials!
	12:51pm nycmusicnerd: I missed out on so much music growing up in a rural shithole with no good radio stations. I'm glad there are stations like WFMU to help me get caught up.
	12:52pm johnk77: this whole new wave ska remix was important 1970s->1983 but not so much mainland north america also thank u selecter for the tubes bassist obit
	12:52pm Cecile: Music magazines turned me on to the specials or I would haven't heard them for another 5 years.
	12:53pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:51 I'm so lucky that my local college station back in the day (early 80s) was KFJC in the Bay Area.
	12:53pm Phillippe: Thanks for this set
	12:53pm Cecile: ↳ johnk77 @12:52 It was quietly important, especially in the US Midwest. So many horn players started after hearing two-tone records. They hit the right people.
	12:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ clarke @12:50 Had a ham and cheese sandwich... Not anything fancy... Not special, the tunes are the Specials tho
	12:54pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Song: "it ain't what you do..." by "the fun boy three" Does this make Bananarama "Fun Girl Three"?
	12:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Cecile @12:52 same here! but, discovering the wfmu stream in '98 also helped...
	12:54pm asheville jon: Wow, havent heard this fbt in forever
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @12:54 ...or the lads BananaMana...
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @12:53 isn't that.. Special!!??
	12:54pm johnk77: bay area weak fm had spotty coverage ktim kfat all college stations?
	12:55pm Cecile: ↳ northguineahills @12:54 Yeah, exactly. My gateway radio was WCBN in Ann Arbor.
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: We had two good college stations and, at least when I was younger, a couple of not-totally-terrible commercial stations. But it took extra years for me to figure it all out.
	12:55pm prof.fuzz: Mr B filling in for the sleepy redhead who’s taking a nap while the Prof drives.
	12:55pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "it ain't what you do..." by "the fun boy three" @efd After you introduced me to the fun boy three on a previous show, I went and checked out all the recordings. Thanks and good stuff!
	12:55pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "the lunatics..." by "the fun boy three" And the hits just keep on coming.
	12:55pm SeaCreature: That Specials/GoGos show on Pier 84 was pretty great. 1981.
	12:55pm Jack McGuire: The Colour Field's eponymous track kicks ass.
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:54 ...aim bad for Threading ...but you get it...
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Cecile @12:55 Well, the gold standard for college radio there!
	12:56pm Joe R.: ↳ Song: "the lunatics..." by "the fun boy three" Have listened to this song a lot since 2016…
	12:56pm efd: ↳ Joe R. @12:56 seriously
	12:57pm johnk77: the death of peter tosh 1987 set back genres & iconographies world-wide
	12:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Cecile @12:55 my college radio station at uf (gainesville) was sold to clear channel my junior year of hs, so, i missed out (although in hs i could catch the signal on some nights, being only 60 miles away)
	12:57pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:54 It's definitely more fun to say
	12:57pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:55 Mr. B, you wanna hit us up with your show dates in the area over the next few days?
	12:57pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks efd for this tribute!!
	12:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "the lunatics..." by "the fun boy three" used to start my KBOO program with this song after a serial complainer to the station's board of directors who claimed that 'the lunatics have taken over the asylum' on late night radio.
	12:58pm morphe': Great Tribute" ...is really important as was last week last year last Century ..80s but you give it back to us !!!! So Thanks efd !!!
	12:58pm Joe R.: ↳ efd @12:56 Often paired with “More I See (the Less I Believe)”
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:57 Nice.
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Quoting the prof. from Paul B's show on Sunday in case the Fuzzmobile is rattling around too much for Mr. B to type: "the prof.fuzz 63 in the northeast! 1/5 petshop jersey city 1/6 kung fu necktie philly 1/7 the sultan room brooklyn come say Hi! "
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:57 they would also call early morning talk radio on the station and claim that we were followers of Aleister Crowley and liked to psychologically torture late nights listeners.
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: Alex the Seal!
	12:59pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 thank you Handy!
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 (See, efd, my hype man skills are available to multiple acts!)
	12:59pm prof.fuzz: Thursday: Petshop, Jersey city, NJ 8PM first band
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 ...keep thinking that's a Recipe & can't get the %ages striaght :D ...
	1:00pm efd: ↳ Song: "our lips are sealed" by "the fun boy three" this kind of reminds me of that guy who does major key versions of songs that were originally in a minor key (but in reverse)
	1:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "our lips are sealed" by "the fun boy three" honestly didn't know Hall wrote this song until his passing. I actually thought it was a cover of a 60s song, it's so timelessly perfect.
	1:00pm johnk77: hypemen come forward
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:59 Just make sure you use organic kung fu necktie, or the headaches just won't be worth it.
	1:00pm efd: ↳ efd @1:00 (not to say it's in a different key, just a very different feel from the big hit version)
	1:00pm morphe': Only in his death did I know that he and she were lovers and it = the song was their lovely song !!!!
	1:00pm prof.fuzz: Friday: kung fu necktie, Philadelphia, PA music at 8PM
	1:01pm johnk77: hypewomen!
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:00 That right there speaks to how on point a lot of this Era's writing was.
	1:01pm Phillippe: the last bastion of half-way palatable radio in Annapolis (WRNR) just got bought by a company that will turn it into a Christian themed station.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: ↳ morphe' @1:00 Me too.
	1:01pm prof.fuzz: Saturday: sultan room, Brooklyn, NY, music at 7PM
	1:02pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @1:00 This first time I heard this version I seriously didn't even realize it was the same song at the Go-Go's. Amazingly different interpretation.
	1:02pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:01 thank you!
	1:02pm McGroovey: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:01 I second that. First, actually.
	1:03pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:55 Or maybe it was a Trouble show?
	1:03pm clarke: @Mr. B - i'm a fan of your drumming, sir!
	1:03pm efd: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:00 along the same lines, I never realized he was in The Colourfield!
	1:03pm prof.fuzz: Thanks handy!
	1:03pm morphe': ↳ Rich in Washington @1:01 It is nice to know nice and lovely things ... sweet and kind and lovely... things ..
	1:04pm prof.fuzz: Thanks clarke
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: And for those who don't know or are too classy to toot their own horns, McGroovey's band Slam Bang will be opening at the Brooklyn show at the Sultan Room -- a venue so classy that I once ran into Sheila B there!
	1:05pm clarke: SO wish i could be there!!
	1:05pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 Aw-shucks, Handy...
	1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "the colourfield" by "the colourfield" Terry Hall is sort of characterized as this standing straight dispassionate commentator ...maybe he wanted something else to a degree @ this point ?
	1:05pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 YOU FORGOT THE EXCLAMATION POINT!
	1:05pm Figgsrock: The favorite reissue label of this program (Cherry Red) did an amazing reissue of this first Colourfield album like a decade ago. Wish it was still in print.
	1:06pm johnk77: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_in_Business_Suit_Levitating_emoji
	1:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:05 Gaylord's the only DJ what gets to comment on my punctuation, Mr. Lowercase!
	1:07pm morphe': ps: TH = a life in pictures https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2022/dec/20/the-specials-terry-hall-a-life-in-pictures
	1:07pm clarke: innit!!
	1:09pm McGroovey: I've never actually heard the Colourfield. Coming out the little speaker on my side table, it sounds kinda like another possible direction Roxy Music could have gone if they hadn't gone in the lush Avalon direction. And if Bryan Ferry's voice hadn't gotten deeper.
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: Prof says hi clarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "cruel circus" by "the colourfield" Sounds like a Vegetarian Anthem. A little less of a commonplace attitude in 1985.
	1:12pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks morphe
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: I assume "J" is not Jane since already said gudbuy to her.
	1:13pm kevlicki: Hi efd and all! If you’re into tribute shows DJ obnoxio, a dear friend in Austin, did a 12 hr memorial show for over 50 artists that passed in 2022. International in scope, and from his own record collection! You can find it here: https://djobnoxio.mixlr.com/recordings/1980094 He’s a bit crunchy on the production side of things but his passion for music makes up for it.
	1:13pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Absolutely wonderful tribute. Thank you, efd.
	1:13pm βrian: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:06 We should start a fundraising drive for the early intervention and treatment of Majuscular Dystrophy.
	1:14pm Andres: Great tribute, efd. Thanks for that last track. Did not know of any solo material.
	1:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ βrian @1:13 Capital idea!

	1:22pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 Keep your eyes on the road! See ya tomorrow!
	1:22pm prof.fuzz: clarkEEEEEE
	1:22pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 I'm gonna make you guys play all your songs back to back without stopping as penance for how you sequenced this record
	1:23pm clarke: to be fair!
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:22 Tough but fair!
	1:23pm prof.fuzz: EFD: Ha ha! My bad.
	1:23pm clarke: i love records that are cross=faded and tight!
	1:24pm clarke: i am not a dj.
	1:24pm clarke: anymore.
	1:24pm prof.fuzz: Quick pit stop right now. Rolling again in a few. The Redhead and Mr B will retake control of the chat. See y’all soon!
	1:25pm clarke: what town??
	1:25pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:23 at least it's on black vinyl
	1:25pm clarke: i loves the shenandoah V!!
	1:26pm prof.fuzz: Mount Sydney safety rest area
	1:26pm clarke: there's a decent BBQ place near new market, VA!!
	1:27pm Andres: ↳ Song: "rest arrest" by "sweet home" This is a beaut! Also, Surplus Dads? Ouch.
	1:28pm K8: Hi EFD and everybody! So excited to see Prof. Fuzz 63 this week! And Slam Bang (listener McGroovy's band!).
	1:28pm clarke: Sleepyhead!! yass!!
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: The tight sequencing on Peaches and Herbicide is the exact opposite of a live show. The professor won’t shut up between songs.
	1:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:28 Ha, we have a new typist!
	1:29pm prof.fuzz: Sleepyred just woke up
	1:30pm McGroovey: ↳ K8 @1:28 Thanks, K8. We kinda sucked in rehearsal last night, so I'm looking forward to not sucking!
	1:31pm K8: ↳ McGroovey @1:30 You'll be great! And The Sultan Room is so swanky...it's gonna be a great night!
	1:31pm clarke: bad rehearsal = great show (in my experience)
	1:31pm clarke: ↳ K8 @1:31 wish i could be thar!!
	1:31pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @1:31 Well then I hope we suck even more Friday night.
	1:32pm prof.fuzz: Looking forward to it
	1:32pm clarke: and sweat!!
	1:32pm K8: ↳ clarke @1:31 we'll do a little dance for you, clarke!
	1:33pm clarke: thank you k8!!
	1:33pm clarke: i prefer the tango
	1:34pm chris in the redwoods: came here to clicky star this certain ration track only to find i already had. and the album is already in my bc wishlist. if anyone sees my memory, will you please let it know i miss it.
	1:34pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ McGroovey @1:31 Does Slam Bang! have tracks up on the interwebs?
	1:35pm clarke: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:34 you ain't the only one!
	1:37pm love2laf: Working, lurking, and loving all the funk, and the very excellent tribute to Terry Hall. Hopefully power will maintain and I'll get to finish hearing today's music, but now a freezing rain advisory. Cheers efd and happy new year fellow funksters.
	1:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "long goodbye" by "sleepyhead" ah. i wuzzz wondering. hey that song is good tho.
	1:38pm prof.fuzz: Professor Fuzz was in a band named Sleepyhead in 1985-86. It’s on bandcamp, look under pre-fuzz
	1:38pm clarke: then there was also The Sleepyheads from new orleans, too.
	1:39pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "rest arrest" by "sweet home" Checking now for kitty.
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Ten Sleepyheads (Sleepieshead?) in Bandcamp.
	1:39pm Andres: Friends with Bedhead?
	1:39pm clarke: i like Sheepie Head!!
	1:39pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @1:39 Wait, where's the link?
	1:40pm McGroovey: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:34 Nothing my bandmates want me to advertise. I did an 8-track recording in the fall, but they didn't like the result. It's hard to record and play at the same time, with impatient bandmates in the room who just wanna play! I hope we can get into a studio in the spring, or else get a friend to man the mics and the 8-track.
	1:41pm neil d: I was at that Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show with Gina Birch!
	1:41pm K8: All right! I'm off to do more errands...Bagpipe and I are getting stuff done today! Thanks so much for the quick joyful listen, EFD! Happy 2023 to all!
	1:41pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @1:40 again, mcgroovey being modest - there's little problem with those recordings
	1:41pm McGroovey: The Boston Sleepyhead played a lot in NYC in the '90s. Maybe they were even based here? I liked them, and took home some of their records.
	1:42pm Jason from Houston: Cheers, K8! A good new year to you.
	1:42pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:39 There may be 10, but there is only one.
	1:42pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and folks. Boy I missed a lot, pardon my tardiness. Working in the Emergency Operations Center, dealing with flooding and waiting for the next atmospheric river to hit tonight. Sorry to hear of Rick Anderson, and sorry to miss the Terry Hall tribute. Will definitely hit the archives later.
	1:42pm neil d: During the encore Gina sang the Banana Splits theme along with Corin Tucker from Sleater-Kinner and Vicki Peterson from the Bangles, which is about par for the Hanukkah shows.
	1:43pm Dead Seminal: Digging that Manchester vibe Evan, thanks! Saw ACR with Happy Mondays and New Order in G-Mex in Manchester, oooh, 1989? Managed to see The Fall in London and Morrissey's debut gig in the Midlands (entrance only with a Smiths T-shirt as apparel) all in that same week.
	1:44pm clarke: good stuff!!
	1:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "travel plans" by "russell tillitt" sun streaming thru the windows here in nola...nice!!
	1:46pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 Agreed re: the Sultan Room!
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:42 Oh, I've seen Highlander! I know how this works!
	1:46pm Jack McGuire: This Daily Worker kills.
	1:47pm clarke: i have not seen Highlander, but i know how it works.
	1:47pm McGroovey: Love kills. Everyone knows that.
	1:49pm clarke: this set is like jennifer conelly - well put together!!
	1:49pm Roberto: Kitty pic link plz?
	1:50pm McGroovey: I've never been to The Sultan Room. I sure hope it's got people in it!
	1:50pm efd: ↳ Roberto @1:49 it's in the playlist (if you're on the web site) - sweethome2.bandcamp.com...
	1:50pm efd: ↳ Song: "shuffle boogie" by "alien nosejob" I'm pretty sure this would have been in my best of 2022 if I'd made time to listen to it more
	1:51pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @1:50 they are in there now... waiting!!
	1:51pm Roberto: ↳ efd @1:50 KIYTy
	1:51pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ McGroovey @1:50 One of the coolest looking rooms in the area
	1:52pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @1:41 I kinda wanna put up at least a couple SLAM BANG! songs in Bandcamp, but I need my comrades' blessing first.
	1:52pm @trimming: My two year old was feeling that last song
	1:53pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:51 jack - dig your new year resolutions!! let me know about medalling in the olympics (last year)
	1:54pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @1:52 i dunno - i wouldn't post anything without mastering it first, but that's me.
	1:56pm clarke: cramps first or 2nd?
	1:57pm Cecile: gotta go to a meeting, catch the rest on archives.
	2:00pm Stevel: I deem that a worth cover! "Wighat"
	2:00pm Mudman: I thought that was Ashley Von Hurter and the Haters
	2:00pm McGroovey: I have ragged home demos of my own songs on Bandcamp, under the name Harp Seals, but those are all my own fault.
	2:02pm miniteeny: Crushed to show up late to the Terry Hall playlist - will have to listen again later!
	2:04pm clarke: funny, i have Harp Seals on my wishlist!
	2:04pm McGroovey: Oh, there's actually a song on Bandcamp that the Prof and I co-wrote, "Handy is Easy". It's just me and my ukulele.
	2:05pm clarke: that song is TRUTH!!
	2:05pm clarke: stern but fair.
	2:07pm Bluesman: Happy New Year EFD and friends!
	2:07pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Cotton Mather! Thanks for the info, efd. I loved 40 Watt Solution.
	2:08pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @2:05 We started writing in the comments board... Possibly during an EFD show.
	2:09pm clarke: as i (hazily) recall: correct!
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:05 It's a whole genre!
	2:09pm McGroovey: *it on I corrected it three times, and still it decided to autoincorrect it.
	2:09pm clarke: to be fair!!
	2:10pm Carmichael: Hey Handy, which LeCarre are you reading?
	2:10pm Carmichael: Here we go! huge First Class fan here.
	2:10pm clarke: i'm guessing Tinker Tailor..??
	2:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ McGroovey @2:04 Is there still time to make a Diarrheamix of the track?
	2:11pm Handy Haversack: To be feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Carmichael, I just finished The Constant Gardener. Was pretty much my Staycation book. Hope things aren't too rough for you at the Necessities Office this week.
	2:11pm McGroovey: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:10 Gosh.... ... Not sure I'd want to dis Handy that way...
	2:11pm clarke: to be faaaayyyyyyaaaaah!!!
	2:12pm Crosby in KC: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" I think Beach Baby was the first 45 I ever bought. I was maybe 6 or 7.
	2:12pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @2:10 This collection is mandatory!!
	2:13pm Figgsrock: Did I just use a Christmas gift card to pre-order this First Class after hearing those two jingles? Yes, yes I did.
	2:13pm chris in the redwoods: ahem, to be faaaiiiiiyerh...
	2:13pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:11 i think Constant Gardener came from a true story in nigeria??
	2:14pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:13 smart move!
	2:14pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:13 jealousy has hit the south!
	2:15pm clarke: to be faaaaiiiiiyaaah!!
	2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:13 From the author's afterword, it didn't seem like it was based on a specific incident but on his research through the whole industry and its use of Africa. He actually says that the truth that he encountered in his research is much worse than what is in the book.
	2:16pm Crosby in KC: ↳ Crosby in KC @2:12 I guess i still don't have the new fangled-y comments buttons down yet.
	2:17pm Carmichael: ↳ efd @2:12 I'm on it, thanks!
	2:19pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @2:13 Kenya, actually. But yes, it's a murder mystery by an amateur sleuth, the husband of the victim.
	2:19pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:16 i'm pretty sure i have only seen the film and not (yet) read the book?? uhhh...
	2:20pm clarke: maybe i have read the book?
	2:20pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @2:19 Nope, Nigeria. You're right, Clarke. The MOVIE was Kenya ...
	2:21pm efd: ↳ Crosby in KC @2:16 it's OK, I knew what you were referring to!
	2:21pm clarke: right! i believe i am thinking of a different le carre' book, in my mind tho, ha ha.
	2:23pm clarke: i got involved with watching Smiley's People with sir alec, a few years back, as i didn't have the patience for it when i was younger - it's GREAT!
	2:24pm Carmichael: All of the George Smiley books and PBS shows are really great stuff.
	2:25pm clarke: agree, sir! to be faiiiyah.
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, there was a good review of his letters in the current issue of The Baffler.
	2:25pm clarke: cool!
	2:26pm Michael 98145: ↳ Carmichael @2:24 -- are you still on storm duty?
	2:27pm clarke: speaking of letters, i was entertained to read the "letters" of William Faulkner, as half of the book is him asking for money or a loan.
	2:27pm foreign_listener_k: Sad to hear that - as an old WFHS fan, WRNR was the last stand for better music in DC.
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: Ah, Make More Noise, that's why it was familiar.
	2:28pm clarke: i was a huuuge WHFS fan - when i could get it!
	2:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if there are any Motörhead collaborations in the box set?
	2:32pm clarke: you can't have those crackers and play Generals & Majors!
	2:35pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:32 ha, very true!
	2:35pm Karl Ward: ↳ McGroovey @1:40 Hit me up.
	2:35pm efd: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:29 there are!
	2:35pm Kat in Chicago: ASSOCIATES!
	2:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "club country" by "the associates" This Associates single was big in the UK. Great choice, loved it at the time.
	2:35pm Alvy Singer: @efd--Lets please not forget that Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters passed away on December 31st.
	2:38pm efd: ↳ Alvy Singer @2:35 Yep, but this is not a comprehensive clearinghouse of all recent musician deaths. I'm sure other DJs will pay tribute to her (or maybe already have).
	2:40pm clarke: since we're in the Korner, a comp that came out a few years ago recently came into my limited-scope radar: The Perfumed Garden: 80 Rare Flowerings From The Psychedelic Era (1965-1971)
	2:40pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @efd If I offer to DJ your shift next week, will you Zoom in and run my weekly team meeting? I am ready to bang my head against my keyboard....
	2:40pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" This is odd. But cool.
	2:41pm Maria T: ↳ Song: "exterior signs" by "maria t" Awwwwwwwww EVAN. You are too nice. Thank you for playing the record AGAIN!
	2:41pm Andres: ↳ Song: "club country" by "the associates" They're great. Still don't get why they didn't make a bigger impact on Canadian radio that fancied New Romantic fare.
	2:41pm Carmichael: Leave it to Wall of Voodoo to weird up a song ... 😜
	2:41pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" -never- knew this existed
	2:42pm Karl Ward: efd: Unrelated to your current set, I recently caught that Roger C. Miller solo set from Cherry Blossom Clinic--you know, the one where you were singing backup vocals. That is incredible. wfmu.org...
	2:42pm Borg9: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" Doesn't sound like Stan Ridgeway
	2:42pm Uleeshuh TN: this cover is cracking me up that its Wall of Voodoo
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" just the other day was reading about WoV's weird cover of this song and it's equally weird Margaret Keene inspired video, which was apparently directed by surrealist porn director Steven Sadayan, aks Rinse Dream.
	2:43pm nathan: ↳ Borg9 @2:42 he totally sounds like Weird Al on this track
	2:43pm clarke: ↳ Borg9 @2:42 might be andy singing?
	2:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ efd @2:35 Outstanding! A chance for more Lemmy.
	2:43pm clarke: andy prieboy
	2:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Uleeshuh TN @2:42 It's his replacement Andy Prieboy.
	2:44pm clarke: si si
	2:44pm clarke: btw, andy was in the band at the same time ridgeway was - he just stepped to the fore after stan went solo
	2:46pm prof.fuzz: We just entered West Virginia.
	2:46pm clarke: ouch!!
	2:47pm McGroovey: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:46 Sorry (?)
	2:48pm efd: ↳ Maria T @2:41 You're welcome!!
	2:48pm Karl Ward: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:46 OK, look, you're gonna make it, it's only 17 miles. Roll down all your windows and turn up "Feeling to Rock" as loud as possible, do not stop FOR ANY REASON. If I were you I would just never touch the brake in WV.
	2:48pm efd: ↳ Karl Ward @2:42 oof, I believe you mean where I was butchering backup vocals!
	2:49pm Karl Ward: ↳ efd @2:48 Look, if I were in the same room with Miller and he asked me to sing along, I would faint. Just drop right there, stone cold out. You were great.
	2:49pm clarke: they gon' git u boy!!
	2:50pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "feeling to rock" by "romeo" EFD, this track needs to be on the next Metal District.
	2:50pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @2:48 he's already not wearing pants!!
	2:51pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:50 I will pass this suggestion on to Snake
	2:52pm Ike: Is the wang-y dong rock over? Is it safe to come back now? ;)
	2:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "voyager ii" by "starbow" This is groovy!
	2:52pm clarke: and now Prof is spreading the sounds of Starbow to the residents of southern west VA
	2:52pm HyperDose: ↳ Ike @2:52 What ever could you mean? 🌭🌭🌭
	2:53pm prof.fuzz: Driving to rock, driving to roll, keep the gas price low so we can roll. Please buy our merch, oh yeah.
	2:53pm Andres: ↳ Song: "voyager ii" by "starbow" Groovy instro!! Great show! Thanks, efd!
	2:54pm Michael 98145: fun show
	2:54pm prof.fuzz: Thanks efd and everyone. See you soon.
	2:54pm _Ike_: ↳ HyperDose @2:52 🍠🍆🥕🌶🦴
	2:54pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:53 you are now nearing Gettysburg!!
	2:55pm JetBoy of Astoria: Thanks efd! It’s a great day of radio.
	2:55pm clarke: there's a great college station in Gettysburg, btw.
	2:55pm Alvy Singer: Starbow sounds a bit like Alan Parsons Project.
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:54 I'd stop for a paddle, but that's just me. Drive safe -- and remember the pants laws! Many thanks for a great show, efd!
	2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ efd ~
	2:56pm Ike: All ribbing aside, thanks EFD!
	2:56pm Crosby in KC: Such an awesome show today, EFD! Thanks!
	2:56pm clarke: weating SHORTS in nola and praise be to EFD!!
	2:56pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "call of the wighat" by "bang bang band girl" Thank you EFD!!
	2:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Alvy Singer @2:55 Now that you mention it, it does. Thanks, efd. Hi, Jack!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 4, 2023

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!

	12:10pm efd: ↳ Listener John from NJ @12:09 Awesome, you'll be prepared!
	12:11pm gauche knee: Ha, glad FMU still weirds ppl out. loved Ken’s show but soo here for EFD rippage ⚡️
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:02 81 is the 'best' route; however, the truckers are ALL over that idea.
	12:12pm pgalub: A slight Chryssie Hynde vibrato here. Hi efd and everyone!
	12:13pm Zephyr: Thanks for The Tubes song/tribute. A band that is summarily dismissed and shouldn’t be. IMO one of the greatest and most interesting American rock bands ever, the MTV years notwithstanding….
	12:13pm Thin Slice: ↳ Song: "wild rain" by "velveteen" 1953?
	12:13pm clarke: pedro!
	12:13pm efd: ↳ Thin Slice @12:13 ahead of their time! (whoops)
	12:14pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Thin Slice @12:13 Was wondering the same thing!
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Thin Slice @12:13 they were WAAAY ahead of their time!
	12:14pm clarke: jinx
	12:14pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:15pm clarke: wait? is this THE April Wine??
	12:16pm Cecile: Hey, Evan, are you gonna play any Associates/Alan Rankine?
	12:16pm efd: ↳ clarke @12:15 HELLZ YES!
	12:16pm clarke: i had no idea they were an entity.
	12:16pm Cecile: ↳ Figgsrock @12:00 I lasted ten seconds. Nope.
	12:16pm efd: ↳ Cecile @12:16 I do have an Associates track planned for later, not in this set though
	12:16pm Cecile: Thank you, that's fine!
	12:17pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:05 Good point, nycnm!!
	12:17pm RB: ↳ clarke @12:15 April Wine played at a junior high school dance when I lived in suburban Detroit. It was a BIG deal.
	12:17pm Nicepunk: “Sheila”—Beatles crossed with Matthew Sweet
	12:17pm clarke: JAAAAck
	12:17pm Hoboken Jack: Hi HyperDose and Clarke!
	12:17pm Frank In Queens: Hey all
	12:18pm clarke: frank!! howzit?
	12:18pm Joe R.: ↳ clarke @12:15 Had the same thought, Clarke! (And getting the requisite CanCon in early to boot.)
	12:18pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Nicepunk @12:17 agreed
	12:18pm efd: ↳ Nicepunk @12:17 personally I can't hear anything else but That Petrol Emotion :)
	12:18pm Cecile: I liked Roller. Don't know much about them, although i'm from The UP and a lot of Canadian bands are like regular bands here.
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: Hi clarke
	12:19pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:11 I grew up by the top end of 81. I've run the section from Scranton to Syracuse at least once a month for the past 20 years. But I've only been south of Scranton a handful of times, and south of Harrisburg only twice, driving to New Orleans both times. It's a pretty drive, but lots of trucks and stupid drivers.
	12:19pm clarke: scranton - got an EXCELLENT salad, there, the last time i went thru on 81
	12:19pm Karl Ward: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:17 Looking forward to your Rock N Soul show this year
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:19 i call that highway: Truckade
	12:20pm Bryant in TO: Hey efd and fellow Funksters!
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @12:19 i can second that thought!
	12:22pm HyperDose: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:17 Hey Jack! The marbling on that Chris' Pizza plain slice was a work of art
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Karl Ward @12:19 Why rhank you, Karl!
	12:22pm clarke: refresh me on WHEN that show is, pls??
	12:23pm Cecile: Are all the dB's ok?
	12:23pm clarke: dB's!!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:22 er, "thank you", but you knew that. That's what I get fr typing with one hand while trying to eat a salad with the other!
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: hey, Frank! What Karl said!
	12:23pm efd: ↳ Cecile @12:23 not every song in this set is an RIP tribute, don't worry!
	12:23pm prof.fuzz: Lots and lots of stupid truck drivers
	12:23pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "scum surfin'" by "that petrol emotion" I wanted to love That Petrol Emotion when they first appeared, because of the Undertones connection, but I've never warmed to them. This song is OK.
	12:23pm clarke: salad = goood
	12:23pm Cecile: Thank goodness.
	12:24pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "storm warning" by "the dB's" Love this whole darned album, but Storm Warning is outstanding.
	12:24pm Jim Macnie: making me cry with "storm warning" adore it. thx EFD
	12:24pm Bryant in TO: ↳ McGroovey @12:19 The Mrs and I drove to Philly last week and took 81 down starting from Syracuse. I feel like we got lucky with drivers so it was easy to enjoy the scenery (holiday traffic maybe?). Spiedies in Binghamton were a highlight.
	12:24pm Cecile: ↳ Krys O. @12:24 I've tried but I just cannot move past the first two albums. They are perfection.
	12:25pm Crosby in KC: Great opening set, EFD!
	12:25pm clarke: ALL dB's is great dB's!! i decree!
	12:25pm clarke: ANGEL!!!!
	12:25pm Figgsrock: OMG, Angel!
	12:26pm Cecile: Sorry, clarke. I've tried. I respect the hell out of them, though and love that they are still making music.
	12:26pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" Aw, I never heard Margolin sing. He was so good on Rockford Files. :(
	12:26pm clarke: "jimmy, jimmy... ya gotta help me!!! .. these guys are gonna cut off my thumbs!!"
	12:26pm Thin Slice: Sounds like John Hiatt
	12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ Bryant in TO @12:24 I'm thinking more of the congestion on 81 in Virginia and south. The section I drive is fine, except when they close a lane for construction. They love to do that in PA.
	12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:25 I'm with Clarke.
	12:28pm Bryant in TO: ↳ McGroovey @12:27 Ah, gotcha
	12:28pm clarke: oh damn RIP Stuart M!!
	12:28pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:23 It was! Anyway, Tuesday, Jan 10th. 6PM EST on Rock n Soul.
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:23 Thank ye, Handy!
	12:29pm Krys O.: ↳ clarke @12:26 LOL! I can hear that in his character's voice.
	12:29pm clarke: and so that is 6pm EVERY thursday, right, Frank??
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" also stuart has two cameos on Columbo.
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☿Wednesday FMUvianz ~ ...no MaryWing on the DrummerStream today - so enjoying some Live efd instead of Archived ! Very nice. Blessings to All in 2023. Haz Fortune Rabbits : wfmu.org...
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:29 Tuesdays, but yes, every week at 6.
	12:31pm Krys O.: Almost two years ago I started watching The Rockford Files in chronological order. I got distracted by the fourth season. Will pick it up again, I am certain.
	12:31pm sufferwords: Love American Style
	12:31pm clarke: revvv!
	12:32pm clarke: ok - tuesday at 5 for me and ulp 3 in l.a. (where i will be for a few months).
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: He's ... the Bedazzler?!
	12:34pm clarke: handy, have you started either novella, yet?
	12:34pm clarke: or better yet, write yer own?
	12:35pm clarke: it pretty much has to be halifax, right?
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: It is high, it is far, it is ... Halifax! Started something from the last bookstore trip, clarke. I had to race to finish this massive John Le Carré book before returning to subway reading!
	12:36pm clarke: love le carre' (earlier the better)
	12:37pm Andres: Dartmouth, Yarmouth, and Truro say thems fighting words.
	12:37pm Andres: Humble early days of April Wine: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5528033
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♑︎Capricornian ⦿Solar Returns - John McLaughlin (Gittar), Eugene Chadbourne, Michael Stipe, Beth Gibbons, Robim Guthrie (Cocteaus)
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:37 can you name rock venues in those burgs?? ha ha.
	12:39pm Jason from Houston: Gosh. That quote... RIP
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: Started this, clarke: bookshop.org... RIP, Terry Hall. Great talent and, from I can tell, dude.
	12:39pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" Angel was the best TV slimeball of all time.
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Andres @12:37 there IS a venue in Amherst, but too small for April Wine.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 "immortality is just a casting call away"
	12:40pm clarke: i forgot how crazy this piano part is.
	12:41pm efd: ↳ Andres @12:37 oh I know there are other cities/towns there, just doubtful they'd have a big enough venue for an April Wine show
	12:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: The venue is a place called TBA, it seems. www.aprilwine.ca...
	12:41pm clarke: exactly! although you never know how small they can go, ha ha
	12:41pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I read that Terry Hall quote and it really spoke to me. RIP.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "enjoy yourself" by "the specials" Seems everything TerryHall was involved with was Relevant & Delightful ...if perhaps not all equally well-known.
	12:42pm Andres: Wherever there is a hockey arena or a Legion there is a venue. :)
	12:42pm clarke: unless its hockey season
	12:42pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo all! Rushing to prep for a 1 PM meeting, just dropping in to say Hi....
	12:43pm Andres: Picked up a copy of Our Lips Are Sealed yesterday. Huge loss.
	12:43pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Andres @12:37 Huh, didn't realize April Wine was from Halifax (okay, technically Waverley).
	12:43pm herb.nyc: Terry Hall, take care and have fun wherever you are. Evan, maybe he’d like to hear Andy Williams sing “happy heart” (loved that song when my sis played his record)
	12:43pm Andres: Jimmy Fallon’s character in almost famous knows who to talk to to get the ice covered. No problem.
	12:45pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "friday night saturday morning" by "the specials" A frequent ear worm in high school.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 a tale of pre-code hollywood - right up my alley. let me know if it's good.
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @12:45 I so wish my sisters (classes of '79 and '81) had been listening to this in high school! Would have saved me a lot of time.
	12:47pm iLikedWaterworld: lmao
	12:47pm Will thee Sound Guy: Good afternoon efd and all!!! Rest in Power Terry Hall! Happy first show of 2023 Evan!
	12:48pm clarke: willlburrrr!!
	12:49pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I remember being so excited by the Ghost Town 12" at the time. Played it constantly.
	12:49pm Cecile: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:47 I was listening to them then and my younger sisters appreciated it I think.
	12:50pm Will thee Sound Guy: Listening since 12:20... on my lunch break... Gotta get back to it soon 🤦‍♂️
	12:50pm JetBoy of Astoria: Hello efd and all
	12:50pm Andres: Rocked the disco night on Father Ted. So great. Fave of my collection.
	12:50pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "ghost town" by "the specials" I play in a Ska band that covers this and Gangsters. Great tunes.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @12:50 what's for lunch, Will??
	12:51pm Mike Sin: Always great to hear more and more Specials!
	12:51pm nycmusicnerd: I missed out on so much music growing up in a rural shithole with no good radio stations. I'm glad there are stations like WFMU to help me get caught up.
	12:52pm johnk77: this whole new wave ska remix was important 1970s->1983 but not so much mainland north america also thank u selecter for the tubes bassist obit
	12:52pm Cecile: Music magazines turned me on to the specials or I would haven't heard them for another 5 years.
	12:53pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:51 I'm so lucky that my local college station back in the day (early 80s) was KFJC in the Bay Area.
	12:53pm Phillippe: Thanks for this set
	12:53pm Cecile: ↳ johnk77 @12:52 It was quietly important, especially in the US Midwest. So many horn players started after hearing two-tone records. They hit the right people.
	12:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ clarke @12:50 Had a ham and cheese sandwich... Not anything fancy... Not special, the tunes are the Specials tho
	12:54pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Song: "it ain't what you do..." by "the fun boy three" Does this make Bananarama "Fun Girl Three"?
	12:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Cecile @12:52 same here! but, discovering the wfmu stream in '98 also helped...
	12:54pm asheville jon: Wow, havent heard this fbt in forever
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @12:54 ...or the lads BananaMana...
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @12:53 isn't that.. Special!!??
	12:54pm johnk77: bay area weak fm had spotty coverage ktim kfat all college stations?
	12:55pm Cecile: ↳ northguineahills @12:54 Yeah, exactly. My gateway radio was WCBN in Ann Arbor.
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: We had two good college stations and, at least when I was younger, a couple of not-totally-terrible commercial stations. But it took extra years for me to figure it all out.
	12:55pm prof.fuzz: Mr B filling in for the sleepy redhead who’s taking a nap while the Prof drives.
	12:55pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "it ain't what you do..." by "the fun boy three" @efd After you introduced me to the fun boy three on a previous show, I went and checked out all the recordings. Thanks and good stuff!
	12:55pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "the lunatics..." by "the fun boy three" And the hits just keep on coming.
	12:55pm SeaCreature: That Specials/GoGos show on Pier 84 was pretty great. 1981.
	12:55pm Jack McGuire: The Colour Field's eponymous track kicks ass.
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:54 ...aim bad for Threading ...but you get it...
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Cecile @12:55 Well, the gold standard for college radio there!
	12:56pm Joe R.: ↳ Song: "the lunatics..." by "the fun boy three" Have listened to this song a lot since 2016…
	12:56pm efd: ↳ Joe R. @12:56 seriously
	12:57pm johnk77: the death of peter tosh 1987 set back genres & iconographies world-wide
	12:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Cecile @12:55 my college radio station at uf (gainesville) was sold to clear channel my junior year of hs, so, i missed out (although in hs i could catch the signal on some nights, being only 60 miles away)
	12:57pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:54 It's definitely more fun to say
	12:57pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:55 Mr. B, you wanna hit us up with your show dates in the area over the next few days?
	12:57pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks efd for this tribute!!
	12:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "the lunatics..." by "the fun boy three" used to start my KBOO program with this song after a serial complainer to the station's board of directors who claimed that 'the lunatics have taken over the asylum' on late night radio.
	12:58pm morphe': Great Tribute" ...is really important as was last week last year last Century ..80s but you give it back to us !!!! So Thanks efd !!!
	12:58pm Joe R.: ↳ efd @12:56 Often paired with “More I See (the Less I Believe)”
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:57 Nice.
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Quoting the prof. from Paul B's show on Sunday in case the Fuzzmobile is rattling around too much for Mr. B to type: "the prof.fuzz 63 in the northeast! 1/5 petshop jersey city 1/6 kung fu necktie philly 1/7 the sultan room brooklyn come say Hi! "
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:57 they would also call early morning talk radio on the station and claim that we were followers of Aleister Crowley and liked to psychologically torture late nights listeners.
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: Alex the Seal!
	12:59pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 thank you Handy!
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 (See, efd, my hype man skills are available to multiple acts!)
	12:59pm prof.fuzz: Thursday: Petshop, Jersey city, NJ 8PM first band
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 ...keep thinking that's a Recipe & can't get the %ages striaght :D ...
	1:00pm efd: ↳ Song: "our lips are sealed" by "the fun boy three" this kind of reminds me of that guy who does major key versions of songs that were originally in a minor key (but in reverse)
	1:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "our lips are sealed" by "the fun boy three" honestly didn't know Hall wrote this song until his passing. I actually thought it was a cover of a 60s song, it's so timelessly perfect.
	1:00pm johnk77: hypemen come forward
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:59 Just make sure you use organic kung fu necktie, or the headaches just won't be worth it.
	1:00pm efd: ↳ efd @1:00 (not to say it's in a different key, just a very different feel from the big hit version)
	1:00pm morphe': Only in his death did I know that he and she were lovers and it = the song was their lovely song !!!!
	1:00pm prof.fuzz: Friday: kung fu necktie, Philadelphia, PA music at 8PM
	1:01pm johnk77: hypewomen!
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:00 That right there speaks to how on point a lot of this Era's writing was.
	1:01pm Phillippe: the last bastion of half-way palatable radio in Annapolis (WRNR) just got bought by a company that will turn it into a Christian themed station.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: ↳ morphe' @1:00 Me too.
	1:01pm prof.fuzz: Saturday: sultan room, Brooklyn, NY, music at 7PM
	1:02pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @1:00 This first time I heard this version I seriously didn't even realize it was the same song at the Go-Go's. Amazingly different interpretation.
	1:02pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:01 thank you!
	1:02pm McGroovey: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:01 I second that. First, actually.
	1:03pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:55 Or maybe it was a Trouble show?
	1:03pm clarke: @Mr. B - i'm a fan of your drumming, sir!
	1:03pm efd: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:00 along the same lines, I never realized he was in The Colourfield!
	1:03pm prof.fuzz: Thanks handy!
	1:03pm morphe': ↳ Rich in Washington @1:01 It is nice to know nice and lovely things ... sweet and kind and lovely... things ..
	1:04pm prof.fuzz: Thanks clarke
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: And for those who don't know or are too classy to toot their own horns, McGroovey's band Slam Bang will be opening at the Brooklyn show at the Sultan Room -- a venue so classy that I once ran into Sheila B there!
	1:05pm clarke: SO wish i could be there!!
	1:05pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 Aw-shucks, Handy...
	1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "the colourfield" by "the colourfield" Terry Hall is sort of characterized as this standing straight dispassionate commentator ...maybe he wanted something else to a degree @ this point ?
	1:05pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 YOU FORGOT THE EXCLAMATION POINT!
	1:05pm Figgsrock: The favorite reissue label of this program (Cherry Red) did an amazing reissue of this first Colourfield album like a decade ago. Wish it was still in print.

	1:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:05 Gaylord's the only DJ what gets to comment on my punctuation, Mr. Lowercase!
	1:07pm morphe': ps: TH = a life in pictures https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2022/dec/20/the-specials-terry-hall-a-life-in-pictures
	1:07pm clarke: innit!!
	1:09pm McGroovey: I've never actually heard the Colourfield. Coming out the little speaker on my side table, it sounds kinda like another possible direction Roxy Music could have gone if they hadn't gone in the lush Avalon direction. And if Bryan Ferry's voice hadn't gotten deeper.
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: Prof says hi clarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "cruel circus" by "the colourfield" Sounds like a Vegetarian Anthem. A little less of a commonplace attitude in 1985.
	1:12pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks morphe
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: I assume "J" is not Jane since already said gudbuy to her.
	1:13pm kevlicki: Hi efd and all! If you’re into tribute shows DJ obnoxio, a dear friend in Austin, did a 12 hr memorial show for over 50 artists that passed in 2022. International in scope, and from his own record collection! You can find it here: https://djobnoxio.mixlr.com/recordings/1980094 He’s a bit crunchy on the production side of things but his passion for music makes up for it.
	1:13pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Absolutely wonderful tribute. Thank you, efd.
	1:13pm βrian: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:06 We should start a fundraising drive for the early intervention and treatment of Majuscular Dystrophy.
	1:14pm Andres: Great tribute, efd. Thanks for that last track. Did not know of any solo material.
	1:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ βrian @1:13 Capital idea!
	1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Departed portrayed : www.facebook.com...
	1:17pm McGroovey: !
	1:18pm Hopey Sockmonkey: "Time marches on. . . and we cannot stop it." sigh. More the reason to Enjoy (Y)ourself now.
	1:18pm popchop: Thank you for the Terry Hall Tribute.
	1:19pm Andres: Turn it up in the van!
	1:20pm efd: ↳ popchop @1:18 You're very welcome
	1:21pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:09 fuZZZZZZZZ
	1:21pm prof.fuzz: This is the prof, and this sounds familiar…
	1:22pm clarke: it sounds... FUZZZZZZY!!
	1:22pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 Keep your eyes on the road! See ya tomorrow!
	1:22pm prof.fuzz: clarkEEEEEE
	1:22pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 I'm gonna make you guys play all your songs back to back without stopping as penance for how you sequenced this record
	1:23pm clarke: to be fair!
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:22 Tough but fair!
	1:23pm prof.fuzz: EFD: Ha ha! My bad.
	1:23pm clarke: i love records that are cross=faded and tight!
	1:24pm clarke: i am not a dj.
	1:24pm clarke: anymore.
	1:24pm prof.fuzz: Quick pit stop right now. Rolling again in a few. The Redhead and Mr B will retake control of the chat. See y’all soon!
	1:25pm clarke: what town??
	1:25pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:23 at least it's on black vinyl
	1:25pm clarke: i loves the shenandoah V!!
	1:26pm prof.fuzz: Mount Sydney safety rest area
	1:26pm clarke: there's a decent BBQ place near new market, VA!!
	1:27pm Andres: ↳ Song: "rest arrest" by "sweet home" This is a beaut! Also, Surplus Dads? Ouch.
	1:28pm K8: Hi EFD and everybody! So excited to see Prof. Fuzz 63 this week! And Slam Bang (listener McGroovy's band!).
	1:28pm clarke: Sleepyhead!! yass!!
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: The tight sequencing on Peaches and Herbicide is the exact opposite of a live show. The professor won’t shut up between songs.
	1:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:28 Ha, we have a new typist!
	1:29pm prof.fuzz: Sleepyred just woke up
	1:30pm McGroovey: ↳ K8 @1:28 Thanks, K8. We kinda sucked in rehearsal last night, so I'm looking forward to not sucking!
	1:31pm K8: ↳ McGroovey @1:30 You'll be great! And The Sultan Room is so swanky...it's gonna be a great night!
	1:31pm clarke: bad rehearsal = great show (in my experience)
	1:31pm clarke: ↳ K8 @1:31 wish i could be thar!!
	1:31pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @1:31 Well then I hope we suck even more Friday night.
	1:32pm prof.fuzz: Looking forward to it
	1:32pm clarke: and sweat!!
	1:32pm K8: ↳ clarke @1:31 we'll do a little dance for you, clarke!
	1:33pm clarke: thank you k8!!
	1:33pm clarke: i prefer the tango
	1:34pm chris in the redwoods: came here to clicky star this certain ration track only to find i already had. and the album is already in my bc wishlist. if anyone sees my memory, will you please let it know i miss it.
	1:34pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ McGroovey @1:31 Does Slam Bang! have tracks up on the interwebs?
	1:35pm clarke: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:34 you ain't the only one!
	1:37pm love2laf: Working, lurking, and loving all the funk, and the very excellent tribute to Terry Hall. Hopefully power will maintain and I'll get to finish hearing today's music, but now a freezing rain advisory. Cheers efd and happy new year fellow funksters.
	1:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "long goodbye" by "sleepyhead" ah. i wuzzz wondering. hey that song is good tho.
	1:38pm prof.fuzz: Professor Fuzz was in a band named Sleepyhead in 1985-86. It’s on bandcamp, look under pre-fuzz
	1:38pm clarke: then there was also The Sleepyheads from new orleans, too.
	1:39pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "rest arrest" by "sweet home" Checking now for kitty.
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Ten Sleepyheads (Sleepieshead?) in Bandcamp.
	1:39pm Andres: Friends with Bedhead?
	1:39pm clarke: i like Sheepie Head!!
	1:39pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @1:39 Wait, where's the link?
	1:40pm McGroovey: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:34 Nothing my bandmates want me to advertise. I did an 8-track recording in the fall, but they didn't like the result. It's hard to record and play at the same time, with impatient bandmates in the room who just wanna play! I hope we can get into a studio in the spring, or else get a friend to man the mics and the 8-track.
	1:41pm neil d: I was at that Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show with Gina Birch!
	1:41pm K8: All right! I'm off to do more errands...Bagpipe and I are getting stuff done today! Thanks so much for the quick joyful listen, EFD! Happy 2023 to all!
	1:41pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @1:40 again, mcgroovey being modest - there's little problem with those recordings
	1:41pm McGroovey: The Boston Sleepyhead played a lot in NYC in the '90s. Maybe they were even based here? I liked them, and took home some of their records.
	1:42pm Jason from Houston: Cheers, K8! A good new year to you.
	1:42pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:39 There may be 10, but there is only one.
	1:42pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and folks. Boy I missed a lot, pardon my tardiness. Working in the Emergency Operations Center, dealing with flooding and waiting for the next atmospheric river to hit tonight. Sorry to hear of Rick Anderson, and sorry to miss the Terry Hall tribute. Will definitely hit the archives later.
	1:42pm neil d: During the encore Gina sang the Banana Splits theme along with Corin Tucker from Sleater-Kinner and Vicki Peterson from the Bangles, which is about par for the Hanukkah shows.
	1:43pm Dead Seminal: Digging that Manchester vibe Evan, thanks! Saw ACR with Happy Mondays and New Order in G-Mex in Manchester, oooh, 1989? Managed to see The Fall in London and Morrissey's debut gig in the Midlands (entrance only with a Smiths T-shirt as apparel) all in that same week.
	1:44pm clarke: good stuff!!
	1:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "travel plans" by "russell tillitt" sun streaming thru the windows here in nola...nice!!
	1:46pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 Agreed re: the Sultan Room!
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:42 Oh, I've seen Highlander! I know how this works!
	1:46pm Jack McGuire: This Daily Worker kills.
	1:47pm clarke: i have not seen Highlander, but i know how it works.
	1:47pm McGroovey: Love kills. Everyone knows that.
	1:49pm clarke: this set is like jennifer conelly - well put together!!
	1:49pm Roberto: Kitty pic link plz?
	1:50pm McGroovey: I've never been to The Sultan Room. I sure hope it's got people in it!
	1:50pm efd: ↳ Roberto @1:49 it's in the playlist (if you're on the web site) - sweethome2.bandcamp.com...
	1:50pm efd: ↳ Song: "shuffle boogie" by "alien nosejob" I'm pretty sure this would have been in my best of 2022 if I'd made time to listen to it more
	1:51pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @1:50 they are in there now... waiting!!
	1:51pm Roberto: ↳ efd @1:50 KIYTy
	1:51pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ McGroovey @1:50 One of the coolest looking rooms in the area
	1:52pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @1:41 I kinda wanna put up at least a couple SLAM BANG! songs in Bandcamp, but I need my comrades' blessing first.
	1:52pm @trimming: My two year old was feeling that last song
	1:53pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:51 jack - dig your new year resolutions!! let me know about medalling in the olympics (last year)
	1:54pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @1:52 i dunno - i wouldn't post anything without mastering it first, but that's me.
	1:56pm clarke: cramps first or 2nd?
	1:57pm Cecile: gotta go to a meeting, catch the rest on archives.
	2:00pm Stevel: I deem that a worth cover! "Wighat"
	2:00pm Mudman: I thought that was Ashley Von Hurter and the Haters
	2:00pm McGroovey: I have ragged home demos of my own songs on Bandcamp, under the name Harp Seals, but those are all my own fault.
	2:02pm miniteeny: Crushed to show up late to the Terry Hall playlist - will have to listen again later!
	2:04pm clarke: funny, i have Harp Seals on my wishlist!
	2:04pm McGroovey: Oh, there's actually a song on Bandcamp that the Prof and I co-wrote, "Handy is Easy". It's just me and my ukulele.
	2:05pm clarke: that song is TRUTH!!
	2:05pm clarke: stern but fair.
	2:07pm Bluesman: Happy New Year EFD and friends!
	2:07pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Cotton Mather! Thanks for the info, efd. I loved 40 Watt Solution.
	2:08pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @2:05 We started writing in the comments board... Possibly during an EFD show.
	2:09pm clarke: as i (hazily) recall: correct!
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:05 It's a whole genre!
	2:09pm McGroovey: *it on I corrected it three times, and still it decided to autoincorrect it.
	2:09pm clarke: to be fair!!
	2:10pm Carmichael: Hey Handy, which LeCarre are you reading?
	2:10pm Carmichael: Here we go! huge First Class fan here.
	2:10pm clarke: i'm guessing Tinker Tailor..??
	2:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ McGroovey @2:04 Is there still time to make a Diarrheamix of the track?
	2:11pm Handy Haversack: To be feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Carmichael, I just finished The Constant Gardener. Was pretty much my Staycation book. Hope things aren't too rough for you at the Necessities Office this week.
	2:11pm McGroovey: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:10 Gosh.... ... Not sure I'd want to dis Handy that way...
	2:11pm clarke: to be faaaayyyyyyaaaaah!!!
	2:12pm Crosby in KC: ↳ Song: "you ought to say me a prayer" by "stuart margolin" I think Beach Baby was the first 45 I ever bought. I was maybe 6 or 7.
	2:12pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @2:10 This collection is mandatory!!
	2:13pm Figgsrock: Did I just use a Christmas gift card to pre-order this First Class after hearing those two jingles? Yes, yes I did.
	2:13pm chris in the redwoods: ahem, to be faaaiiiiiyerh...
	2:13pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:11 i think Constant Gardener came from a true story in nigeria??
	2:14pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:13 smart move!
	2:14pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:13 jealousy has hit the south!
	2:15pm clarke: to be faaaaiiiiiyaaah!!
	2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:13 From the author's afterword, it didn't seem like it was based on a specific incident but on his research through the whole industry and its use of Africa. He actually says that the truth that he encountered in his research is much worse than what is in the book.
	2:16pm Crosby in KC: ↳ Crosby in KC @2:12 I guess i still don't have the new fangled-y comments buttons down yet.
	2:17pm Carmichael: ↳ efd @2:12 I'm on it, thanks!
	2:19pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @2:13 Kenya, actually. But yes, it's a murder mystery by an amateur sleuth, the husband of the victim.
	2:19pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:16 i'm pretty sure i have only seen the film and not (yet) read the book?? uhhh...
	2:20pm clarke: maybe i have read the book?
	2:20pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @2:19 Nope, Nigeria. You're right, Clarke. The MOVIE was Kenya ...
	2:21pm efd: ↳ Crosby in KC @2:16 it's OK, I knew what you were referring to!
	2:21pm clarke: right! i believe i am thinking of a different le carre' book, in my mind tho, ha ha.
	2:23pm clarke: i got involved with watching Smiley's People with sir alec, a few years back, as i didn't have the patience for it when i was younger - it's GREAT!
	2:24pm Carmichael: All of the George Smiley books and PBS shows are really great stuff.
	2:25pm clarke: agree, sir! to be faiiiyah.
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, there was a good review of his letters in the current issue of The Baffler.
	2:25pm clarke: cool!
	2:26pm Michael 98145: ↳ Carmichael @2:24 -- are you still on storm duty?
	2:27pm clarke: speaking of letters, i was entertained to read the "letters" of William Faulkner, as half of the book is him asking for money or a loan.
	2:27pm foreign_listener_k: Sad to hear that - as an old WFHS fan, WRNR was the last stand for better music in DC.
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: Ah, Make More Noise, that's why it was familiar.
	2:28pm clarke: i was a huuuge WHFS fan - when i could get it!
	2:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if there are any Motörhead collaborations in the box set?
	2:32pm clarke: you can't have those crackers and play Generals & Majors!
	2:35pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:32 ha, very true!
	2:35pm Karl Ward: ↳ McGroovey @1:40 Hit me up.
	2:35pm efd: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:29 there are!
	2:35pm Kat in Chicago: ASSOCIATES!
	2:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "club country" by "the associates" This Associates single was big in the UK. Great choice, loved it at the time.
	2:35pm Alvy Singer: @efd--Lets please not forget that Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters passed away on December 31st.
	2:38pm efd: ↳ Alvy Singer @2:35 Yep, but this is not a comprehensive clearinghouse of all recent musician deaths. I'm sure other DJs will pay tribute to her (or maybe already have).
	2:40pm clarke: since we're in the Korner, a comp that came out a few years ago recently came into my limited-scope radar: The Perfumed Garden: 80 Rare Flowerings From The Psychedelic Era (1965-1971)
	2:40pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @efd If I offer to DJ your shift next week, will you Zoom in and run my weekly team meeting? I am ready to bang my head against my keyboard....
	2:40pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" This is odd. But cool.
	2:41pm Maria T: ↳ Song: "exterior signs" by "maria t" Awwwwwwwww EVAN. You are too nice. Thank you for playing the record AGAIN!
	2:41pm Andres: ↳ Song: "club country" by "the associates" They're great. Still don't get why they didn't make a bigger impact on Canadian radio that fancied New Romantic fare.
	2:41pm Carmichael: Leave it to Wall of Voodoo to weird up a song ... 😜
	2:41pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" -never- knew this existed
	2:42pm Karl Ward: efd: Unrelated to your current set, I recently caught that Roger C. Miller solo set from Cherry Blossom Clinic--you know, the one where you were singing backup vocals. That is incredible. wfmu.org...
	2:42pm Borg9: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" Doesn't sound like Stan Ridgeway
	2:42pm Uleeshuh TN: this cover is cracking me up that its Wall of Voodoo
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "do it again" by "wall of voodoo" just the other day was reading about WoV's weird cover of this song and it's equally weird Margaret Keene inspired video, which was apparently directed by surrealist porn director Steven Sadayan, aks Rinse Dream.
	2:43pm nathan: ↳ Borg9 @2:42 he totally sounds like Weird Al on this track
	2:43pm clarke: ↳ Borg9 @2:42 might be andy singing?
	2:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ efd @2:35 Outstanding! A chance for more Lemmy.
	2:43pm clarke: andy prieboy
	2:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Uleeshuh TN @2:42 It's his replacement Andy Prieboy.
	2:44pm clarke: si si
	2:44pm clarke: btw, andy was in the band at the same time ridgeway was - he just stepped to the fore after stan went solo
	2:46pm prof.fuzz: We just entered West Virginia.
	2:46pm clarke: ouch!!
	2:47pm McGroovey: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:46 Sorry (?)
	2:48pm efd: ↳ Maria T @2:41 You're welcome!!
	2:48pm Karl Ward: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:46 OK, look, you're gonna make it, it's only 17 miles. Roll down all your windows and turn up "Feeling to Rock" as loud as possible, do not stop FOR ANY REASON. If I were you I would just never touch the brake in WV.
	2:48pm efd: ↳ Karl Ward @2:42 oof, I believe you mean where I was butchering backup vocals!
	2:49pm Karl Ward: ↳ efd @2:48 Look, if I were in the same room with Miller and he asked me to sing along, I would faint. Just drop right there, stone cold out. You were great.
	2:49pm clarke: they gon' git u boy!!
	2:50pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "feeling to rock" by "romeo" EFD, this track needs to be on the next Metal District.
	2:50pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @2:48 he's already not wearing pants!!
	2:51pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:50 I will pass this suggestion on to Snake
	2:52pm Ike: Is the wang-y dong rock over? Is it safe to come back now? ;)
	2:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "voyager ii" by "starbow" This is groovy!
	2:52pm clarke: and now Prof is spreading the sounds of Starbow to the residents of southern west VA
	2:52pm HyperDose: ↳ Ike @2:52 What ever could you mean? 🌭🌭🌭
	2:53pm prof.fuzz: Driving to rock, driving to roll, keep the gas price low so we can roll. Please buy our merch, oh yeah.
	2:53pm Andres: ↳ Song: "voyager ii" by "starbow" Groovy instro!! Great show! Thanks, efd!
	2:54pm Michael 98145: fun show
	2:54pm prof.fuzz: Thanks efd and everyone. See you soon.
	2:54pm _Ike_: ↳ HyperDose @2:52 🍠🍆🥕🌶🦴
	2:54pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:53 you are now nearing Gettysburg!!
	2:55pm JetBoy of Astoria: Thanks efd! It’s a great day of radio.
	2:55pm clarke: there's a great college station in Gettysburg, btw.
	2:55pm Alvy Singer: Starbow sounds a bit like Alan Parsons Project.
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:54 I'd stop for a paddle, but that's just me. Drive safe -- and remember the pants laws! Many thanks for a great show, efd!
	2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ efd ~
	2:56pm Ike: All ribbing aside, thanks EFD!
	2:56pm Crosby in KC: Such an awesome show today, EFD! Thanks!
	2:56pm clarke: weating SHORTS in nola and praise be to EFD!!
	2:56pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "call of the wighat" by "bang bang band girl" Thank you EFD!!
	2:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Alvy Singer @2:55 Now that you mention it, it does. Thanks, efd. Hi, Jack!
