	9:35pm john: ok, this is a totally inspired collaboration!
	9:36pm efd: Pretty great, right john? And G, yes, down is up and up is down! (But I'm not complaining) (so far)
	9:36pm PB: Bruins are also crushing the Maple Leafs in game 1 of their series.
	9:37pm common: never...never watch the remake of the wicker man. the original is amazing.
	9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: She'zAboudaMoovah? High Numbers? - No, RealNumbers... ...I wanna see the U.S. Garage~London Maximum R&B connection well writ about...

	9:43pm Holly in NC: Maypole Scene from The Wicker Man bit.ly...
	9:44pm Holly in NC: And May Day @ James Bickley Elementary School. Clovis, New Mexico 1962 pinterest.com... …
	9:44pm PB: What track do Thee Oh Sees do?
	9:45pm Barkevious Shabazz: I would say there's never been a more no win situation than covering Venus in Furs. I believe in aim high, do better, but choose yer battles.
	9:46pm efd: PB, Thee Oh Sees do "European Son."
	9:47pm steve: ive never seen the Wicker Man, though i guess i should, huh
	9:47pm PB: I'm going to have to check that album out. Thanks efd.
	9:48pm steve: techno!
	9:49pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): mise, I like your profile pic. Looks like a good start.
	9:53pm fearson: wow you are schooling me on my own town!
	9:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - VU's 1st album has such a wide impact - could say it's been well-absorbed - but it's like covering The Beatles...well, this's just stating the obvious... - Could say something about Britt Ekland's attributes - but gratuitousness aside - yeah - kinda puts Paganism in a negative light - but great flick....
	9:56pm john: Evan, I think you forgot to tell us the name of this band.
	9:56pm G: was that Bedwettin Badboys??? was that Bedwettin Badboys??? was that Bedwettin Badboys??? was that Bedwettin Badboys??? :p
	9:56pm efd: :D
	9:58pm John L.: Loads of Wicker Man postings today, including a Muppet Wicker Man video. The original is totally worth seeing. It is practically a musical. Wicker Man nerd trivia: Britt was only shown from the front; she refused to show her backside and had a double instead.
	9:59pm G: @John: What an ass! lol
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Muppet WickerMan - ?!?! - Link - !!!
	10:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...There was another backside like that?...)
	10:03pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Though it is chilly tonight, it is May 1, which makes my current fireplace use seem gratuitous.
	10:03pm Alexander Slade: mummies love
	10:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'soviet valves': to those not guitarheads: guitar amp tubes are environmentally nasty to produce - so a lot are made in Russia & China - if that's what they mean...
	10:06pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I had a friend 20 years ago who had a Sovtek amp -- since I'm a non-guitarhead, is this related?
	10:08pm John L.: Here is the Wicker Muppet link:http://dangerousminds.net/comments/in_honor_of_may_day_a_muppet_wicker_man1
	10:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: yeah, prob. - geez: it's upper 70°'s up here in New Hampshire w/ the windows open tonight: I hope we get some Spring before the Humidity & flies awready...
	10:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Bad puns, paganism and the smell of burning felt'... - HaHaHaHa! Thx!
	10:14pm Michael from the Left Coast: Eleni Mandell would be live on tape (I just talked to her a few hours ago and she's in LA)
	10:15pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ya lost me at the bluesy, jazzy noir inflected dual pregnancy.
	10:16pm fearson: ahaha
	10:16pm fearson: WHAT
	10:18pm BadGuyZero: Do you need a copy of the TIM 4-way split for your personal collection, Evan?
	10:19pm fearson: (the ahaha was for D&D, the WHAT was for deerhunter)
	10:22pm efd: No thanks, BGZ, I'm all set!
	10:23pm steve: gotta check out that live D&D
	10:24pm Droll: [mid-dinner making break] What's this about tubes not being environmentally safe? They're just glass and metal -- way less toxic and easier to recycle than any transistor. Tubes = Goodness.
	10:24pm Barkevious Shabazz: What is Jack Dangers doin these days?
	10:25pm BadGuyZero: @efd: Ten-four. I just returned from my local record store and they still have copies of it.
	10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All received info., Droll. I cannot afford. Are there not certain gasses in them?
	10:31pm Droll: RRN, In fact there are vacuums inside of those tubes.
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - One Google result: VACUUM TUBES - Green Bullet Mic's greenbulletmics.com/VACUUM_TUBES.html - Cached The only countries producing vacuum tubes today are Russia, China, and Japan.
	10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Makes sense Droll! - This is what I've always heard. Urban myth? A tube is more 'mechanical' to produce? Otherwise, labor cost is the reason? - Tubes distort in the right way: they are a little fire. Only Guitarists want them - & a few Audiophiles (add 'warmth' to digital signals). - Another thing commonly accepted: tubes accent even harmonics, & solid state the odd ones...All maybe a bit Spinal Tap for the Board here?...
	10:41pm Droll: RRN, It's all about power, portability, and convenience: tubes cannot run on battery power or fit in a cell phone.
	10:42pm BadGuyZero: I saw Wax Idols and TV Ghost when I was in Chicago last week. It was fantastic!
	10:45pm fearson: this is a jam!
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - they need a lot of maintenance - like a noisy Harley that only works when it's straining; some guitarists use digital amps for reliability - w/ a box w/ one tube for the warmth...One recording artist told me that if he records w/ analog tape, he doesn't need to worry about 'adding warmth' later!...
	10:46pm efd: BGZ, cool! I'm really looking forward to their sessions here.
	10:47pm pacific standard simon: Well. heck, just hold the mixer between your thighs, for added warmth!
	10:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: I loved that Wax Idols track. Really great sound.
	10:48pm fleep: We used to change out TV tubes at the drugstore: www.tdpri.com...
	10:48pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Analog tape is a little too life-like, as made apparent in this video: youtu.be...
	10:49pm efd: Hi Wendy! The whole album is great, as was the last one!
	10:50pm pacific standard simon: I remember those from the Thrifty Drug Store, fleep!
	10:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Evan! Cool, I will have to see if one of my local record stores has or can get for me. Yay!
	10:51pm Holly in NC: Super show so far efd (like it's gonna slack off ;-)), and can't wait for next week's live sets!
	10:55pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I want to know what year did tubes at the drugstore stop being common. This is central to the kind of stuff I keep track of and try to report on. At my age I remember shopping at Woolworth's, but not for tubes.
	10:59pm JTKMDNY: Evan: good music!!!
	11:00pm pacific standard simon: I could sing "I Wanna Be Your Dog" to this.
	11:00pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans :)
	11:00pm Danne D: Hiya EFD :)
	11:01pm PB: Pacific, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
	11:04pm G: It's Howday Harrison Time
	11:04pm G: Howdy. I gotta get more fucking sleep. I'm losing a step on the rapid typing...
	11:04pm Danne D: LOL - Evan's entire show is going to consist of the Ticket Giveaway Segment Title :)
	11:05pm PB: Speaking of "dogs", I hear that the new Stooges album is a real dog.
	11:05pm pacific standard simon: I remember tube testers as late as the early '70s. I have a feeling that, as coin operated photocopiers became more in-demand, store managers found the motivation to phase out the tube-testers.
	11:06pm Danne D: I saw Corn Mo open up for TMBG once. I will not be calling to win that particular prize.
	11:06pm Danne D: "3" - the one with Keith Emerson in it??! :) en.wikipedia.org...
	11:07pm Danne D: (and yes, as a matter of fact I do have a copy of that album - and yeah it has one of the more painful covers of "Eight Miles High" on it)
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Well - as I see it - digital has all the advantages (clarity, compressible, programmable) - except this: Instead of representing the Soundwave analogously (analog) - it Samples it - taking Sections of it & converting it into numbers (digits-digital): - You don't get a curvy soundwave, but a jagged thing w/ edges. The detail of the edges will depend on your Sampling Rate. - Another problem w/ digital is the changing Formats, of course. Every medium has its' own qualities, in the end... - Boris!
	11:08pm Stevel: It is the Red Fish that I love.
	11:08pm G: @Danne: He's still got a little way to go before beating the world's longest song title, Christine Lavin's "Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me 11:00 On a Friday Morning to Tell Me that at 1:00 Friday Afternoon You're Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go Out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks, Not that I Wanted to Go With You, I Wasn't Able to Leave Town, I'm Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn't Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out With You for Three Years I DON'T Like Surprises!! Subtitled: A Musical Apology"
	11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Yay pHoaming Edison!
	11:10pm Danne D: That's two Christine Lavin references in the same day, now. AmNazz played her on her show today.
	11:11pm fleep: Even chopped up into digital bits, this show sound great, EFD.
	11:14pm Julie: This sounds like you really got me
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...since you can't copyright song titles (a billion 'I Love Yous'...) - you could have another song w/ that title!; as long as it was completely different...
	11:15pm Danne D: LOL - this is quite the publicity picture for "3" - surprised Clay hasn't played them: upload.wikimedia.org...
	11:15pm pacific standard simon: Nice compressed guitar tracks on this Hensley thing.
	11:17pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hensley. Like Bolan backed up by Greg ginn.
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...efd programming flawless - 'technically' speaking : p ...
	11:18pm pacific standard simon: @B. Shabazz - that's good!
	11:20pm Droll: [back from kitchen] Squeee!! I perfectly recall that tube tester at the local drug store!!! The new ticket giveaway bumper is the best because it includes both the new and the old! I thought I misheard 3 -- I will shove DD out of the way to get into that show.
	11:20pm pacific standard simon: "Funk" is yo' middle name!
	11:21pm KP: So much lag in my feed i was worried that last song was "999."
	11:22pm Loretta: what a great night of music.... thanks evan! been dancin' all night....
	11:22pm Rickwaukee: I'm having trouble just doing the 33-1/3
	11:23pm Droll: The difference between analog and digital is that when analog is overdriven it bends, when digital is overdriven it breaks. If you're listening to a MP3 or CD, tubes don't matter, but if you're plugging your guitar straight into it or summing 48 tracks, tubes make all the difference in the world.
	11:23pm G: do the 16 then
	11:24pm Danne D: Btw, according to the accuplaylist search engine, there's only one WFMU DJ that has ever played anything off of Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Love Beach" - anyone want to venture a guess at who this DJ is? (they are on the current schedule, that's my one clue)
	11:25pm pacific standard simon: Station Manager Ken?
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - the difference between Production & Reproduction there...
	11:25pm KP: "They"?
	11:25pm Droll: G, When I was a youth I bought a transcription-speed turntable (16RPM) just to play back Rush records at half speed so I could learn the riffs exactly. Yes and ELP sounded the same at half speed.
	11:25pm Danne D: good guess Simon, but no. I'll give a couple more folks a shot but will reveal before the end :)
	11:26pm G: @Danne: No embarrassing the nice DJ :p
	11:26pm john: Danne, a hint? Was it played ironically?
	11:26pm KP: Does Glen Jones count as a DJ?
	11:26pm Danne D: I don't think it was played ironically :) But I cannot get in the mind of an FMU DJ :)
	11:27pm efd: nose/face you guys.
	11:27pm KP: Everything is played ironically.
	11:27pm Danne D: @KP Yes, but no KP as his playlists don't get put into the accuplaylist I don't think.
	11:27pm G: Do I remember this Love Beach issue being discussed on a board once? Anyway, I bet Danne's point is that it's present company, and I am sure Danne has him kvelling :)
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was there ever another intention to 16 RPM?
	11:28pm pacific standard simon: Trying to think of an FMU DJ MORE perverted than Ken...
	11:28pm Danne D: Anyway, rather than destroy the rest of the comments with this one I will say that it was a DJ filling in for Jonesy :) A DJ who happens to be on the air right now. EFD - the original Prog Rock King :D
	11:29pm Julie: Bufferin' -- for when your slow net connection gives you a headache
	11:29pm G: tolja 0:-)
	11:29pm steve: Droll - to be fair, putting a good tube preamp between your mp3 player and your speakers can still do some magic!
	11:29pm Danne D: Yeah, I got wondering when I tried to find "3" in the accuplaylist search. Alas, that "3" hasn't been played on FMU (at least on an accuplaylist show)
	11:30pm Barkevious Shabazz: I had a turntable with no needle. Even Hemispheres sounded good.
	11:30pm Rickwaukee: Kimberly-Clark will smite ye, Kleenex Girl Wonder
	11:30pm Droll: DD, I dunno about that, DJ Donna Summer (Jason Forrest) once played Tarkus in it's entirety in the middle of a breakcore set. That's what hooked me on FMU some 13 years ago.
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'That's not Buffering Issues - that's our Programming.' - Made me think of Dave Mandl & Comments, actually...
	11:31pm pacific standard simon: My junior high school library had a ton of 16 RPM "audiobook" LPs -- that was how you listened to Edgar Allan Poe stories, or whatever.
	11:31pm G: @Droll: I just adjusted the speed down on the turntable and retuned the guitar to match :p Another fun method was transfer the track top reel-to-reel, and cut the speed in half to make things one octave lower and half the velocity :)
	11:32pm Rickwaukee: Elementary, my dear Hodge
	11:32pm Danne D: @Droll I know I was just goofin' :) Terre has played a little prog once in a while - sometimes when I've turned up on her comments page ;)
	11:32pm Michael from the Left Coast: any hyphenates on the Clinton Hensley album?
	11:33pm Danne D: @Droll - my first car was called the Tarkus #TrueFact
	11:34pm pacific standard simon: Screaming Blue Messiahs! One of my favorite '80s bands. But not the Flinstones song.
	11:35pm Rickwaukee: I would have gone with The English Horseface
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I never heard of 16 RPM recording before! How great it's Poe...Digital great for pitch control - but Backwards, the obligatory Psych effect - tape for that...
	11:36pm Sarah Jessica Parker: I luv this band.
	11:36pm Mike Napoli: yeah!
	11:36pm Droll: DD, Do you know commenter, AZ? They have a Tarkus Cake photo! wfmu.org...
	11:37pm efd: @MichaelftLC, surprisingly no!
	11:37pm pacific standard simon: No Carter vocal, but otherwise sounds the same.
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Parchment Farm' riff...Tarkus cake is a phenom.!
	11:38pm Danne D: @Droll no. But I just friended them :)
	11:40pm Danne D: I certainly can't goof on EFD about fantasy baseball as my team is suckin' - it zoomed all the way up to 8th place tonight
	11:41pm pacific standard simon: So... there must be a Horseface US, right?
	11:41pm Danne D: At least Belock finally made a transaction. It was kinda embarrassing having him kick all our asses w/o even changing his roster once. He's still in 1st though. EFD is running in 4th currently.
	11:43pm pacific standard simon: Simultaneously following a very ugly Giants/Diamondbacks game. Brandon Crawford is this year's model.
	11:44pm KP: Anybody hear Irwin's comment this afternoon: "My cat came out of the closet today."
	11:47pm pacific standard simon: Irwin's a shit-stirrer, and I don't think he has a problem with that.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KP: Yeah.
	11:51pm Danne D: Btw, welcome back Hanley Ramirez :) 4/7 already
	11:51pm Stevel: KP: Need to catch up with that. Busy days are not good radio days, unless you're 'trapped' at the computer.
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard kewl YYY's/Karen O. stuff lately. Pleased by that.
	11:52pm Danne D: didn't hear it. Didn't realize his cat played basketball
	11:53pm G: My cat is always in the goddam closet.
	11:56pm pacific standard simon: @G - put yer damn dirty socks in the hamper, already!
	11:56pm Droll: Irwin? That quiet guy who keeps his opinions to himself? I can't imagine he'd instigate anything. Is he really still on air? I thought they just gave that old coot a hairbrush to talk into for three hours.
	11:56pm 12539: Great show, Evan!
	11:58pm G: He saw a camera and came out to pose on my shoulder. And then back in the closet again. Seriously, he can monitor all the comings and goings from a cushy spot right next to the toilet paper inventory. Hisses if you open the door on him.
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...The Polls all show that younger people - Aquarian Age Knowledge people - all acknowledge that people are born w/ their sexual preferences - & all the older people of the Piscean Age - the age of Belief & Religion don't acknowledge it. ...It's a Civil Rights issue & it's all over bit the shouting, as expression goes...
	11:58pm fleep: Thanks, EFD.
	11:58pm pacific standard simon: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show is a carnival funk-house!
	11:59pm steve: yyys and dr octagon, didnt see that coming
	12:00am Droll: Thanks, EFD. See you next week, and get ready for that drum throwdown, I know Irwin has been doing his homework!
	12:00am Stevel: The efd imprimatur. Yes, I had to use spell check on that.
	12:01am Danne D: Thanks for a great show EFD :) Thanks commenters for humoring my usual goofiness :) Take care all :D
	12:01am G: imprimatur, latin present subjunctive "it may be printed"
	12:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + !
	12:02am Danne D: Yup RR1163 - the times ain't changing back. Thank goodness for that :)
	5:26pm Ajax: Dave Meniketti is a bay area hero! Great to hear some Yesterday & Today. And that Cuts track still sounds so hot. Great show EFD. I am looking forward to your WAX IDOLS stories!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 1, 2013

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!

	9:22pm Loretta: for sure...
	9:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Commie MayDay talk. : ) ...No space between the bricks of that set! +
	9:27pm Green Mountain Man Mark: hoooo!!!

	9:35pm john: ok, this is a totally inspired collaboration!
	9:36pm efd: Pretty great, right john? And G, yes, down is up and up is down! (But I'm not complaining) (so far)
	9:36pm PB: Bruins are also crushing the Maple Leafs in game 1 of their series.
	9:37pm common: never...never watch the remake of the wicker man. the original is amazing.
	9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: She'zAboudaMoovah? High Numbers? - No, RealNumbers... ...I wanna see the U.S. Garage~London Maximum R&B connection well writ about...

	9:43pm Holly in NC: Maypole Scene from The Wicker Man bit.ly...
	9:44pm Holly in NC: And May Day @ James Bickley Elementary School. Clovis, New Mexico 1962 pinterest.com... …
	9:44pm PB: What track do Thee Oh Sees do?
	9:45pm Barkevious Shabazz: I would say there's never been a more no win situation than covering Venus in Furs. I believe in aim high, do better, but choose yer battles.
	9:46pm efd: PB, Thee Oh Sees do "European Son."
	9:47pm steve: ive never seen the Wicker Man, though i guess i should, huh
	9:47pm PB: I'm going to have to check that album out. Thanks efd.
	9:48pm steve: techno!
	9:49pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): mise, I like your profile pic. Looks like a good start.
	9:53pm fearson: wow you are schooling me on my own town!
	9:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - VU's 1st album has such a wide impact - could say it's been well-absorbed - but it's like covering The Beatles...well, this's just stating the obvious... - Could say something about Britt Ekland's attributes - but gratuitousness aside - yeah - kinda puts Paganism in a negative light - but great flick....
	9:56pm john: Evan, I think you forgot to tell us the name of this band.
	9:56pm G: was that Bedwettin Badboys??? was that Bedwettin Badboys??? was that Bedwettin Badboys??? was that Bedwettin Badboys??? :p
	9:56pm efd: :D
	9:58pm John L.: Loads of Wicker Man postings today, including a Muppet Wicker Man video. The original is totally worth seeing. It is practically a musical. Wicker Man nerd trivia: Britt was only shown from the front; she refused to show her backside and had a double instead.
	9:59pm G: @John: What an ass! lol
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Muppet WickerMan - ?!?! - Link - !!!
	10:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...There was another backside like that?...)
	10:03pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Though it is chilly tonight, it is May 1, which makes my current fireplace use seem gratuitous.
	10:03pm Alexander Slade: mummies love
	10:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'soviet valves': to those not guitarheads: guitar amp tubes are environmentally nasty to produce - so a lot are made in Russia & China - if that's what they mean...
	10:06pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I had a friend 20 years ago who had a Sovtek amp -- since I'm a non-guitarhead, is this related?
	10:08pm John L.: Here is the Wicker Muppet link:http://dangerousminds.net/comments/in_honor_of_may_day_a_muppet_wicker_man1
	10:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: yeah, prob. - geez: it's upper 70°'s up here in New Hampshire w/ the windows open tonight: I hope we get some Spring before the Humidity & flies awready...
	10:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Bad puns, paganism and the smell of burning felt'... - HaHaHaHa! Thx!
	10:14pm Michael from the Left Coast: Eleni Mandell would be live on tape (I just talked to her a few hours ago and she's in LA)
	10:15pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ya lost me at the bluesy, jazzy noir inflected dual pregnancy.
	10:16pm fearson: ahaha
	10:16pm fearson: WHAT
	10:18pm BadGuyZero: Do you need a copy of the TIM 4-way split for your personal collection, Evan?
	10:19pm fearson: (the ahaha was for D&D, the WHAT was for deerhunter)
	10:22pm efd: No thanks, BGZ, I'm all set!
	10:23pm steve: gotta check out that live D&D
	10:24pm Droll: [mid-dinner making break] What's this about tubes not being environmentally safe? They're just glass and metal -- way less toxic and easier to recycle than any transistor. Tubes = Goodness.
	10:24pm Barkevious Shabazz: What is Jack Dangers doin these days?
	10:25pm BadGuyZero: @efd: Ten-four. I just returned from my local record store and they still have copies of it.
	10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All received info., Droll. I cannot afford. Are there not certain gasses in them?
	10:31pm Droll: RRN, In fact there are vacuums inside of those tubes.
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - One Google result: VACUUM TUBES - Green Bullet Mic's greenbulletmics.com/VACUUM_TUBES.html - Cached The only countries producing vacuum tubes today are Russia, China, and Japan.
	10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Makes sense Droll! - This is what I've always heard. Urban myth? A tube is more 'mechanical' to produce? Otherwise, labor cost is the reason? - Tubes distort in the right way: they are a little fire. Only Guitarists want them - & a few Audiophiles (add 'warmth' to digital signals). - Another thing commonly accepted: tubes accent even harmonics, & solid state the odd ones...All maybe a bit Spinal Tap for the Board here?...
	10:41pm Droll: RRN, It's all about power, portability, and convenience: tubes cannot run on battery power or fit in a cell phone.
	10:42pm BadGuyZero: I saw Wax Idols and TV Ghost when I was in Chicago last week. It was fantastic!
	10:45pm fearson: this is a jam!
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - they need a lot of maintenance - like a noisy Harley that only works when it's straining; some guitarists use digital amps for reliability - w/ a box w/ one tube for the warmth...One recording artist told me that if he records w/ analog tape, he doesn't need to worry about 'adding warmth' later!...
	10:46pm efd: BGZ, cool! I'm really looking forward to their sessions here.
	10:47pm pacific standard simon: Well. heck, just hold the mixer between your thighs, for added warmth!
	10:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: I loved that Wax Idols track. Really great sound.
	10:48pm fleep: We used to change out TV tubes at the drugstore: www.tdpri.com...
	10:48pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Analog tape is a little too life-like, as made apparent in this video: youtu.be...
	10:49pm efd: Hi Wendy! The whole album is great, as was the last one!
	10:50pm pacific standard simon: I remember those from the Thrifty Drug Store, fleep!
	10:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Evan! Cool, I will have to see if one of my local record stores has or can get for me. Yay!
	10:51pm Holly in NC: Super show so far efd (like it's gonna slack off ;-)), and can't wait for next week's live sets!
	10:55pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I want to know what year did tubes at the drugstore stop being common. This is central to the kind of stuff I keep track of and try to report on. At my age I remember shopping at Woolworth's, but not for tubes.
	10:59pm JTKMDNY: Evan: good music!!!
	11:00pm pacific standard simon: I could sing "I Wanna Be Your Dog" to this.
	11:00pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans :)
	11:00pm Danne D: Hiya EFD :)
	11:01pm PB: Pacific, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
	11:04pm G: It's Howday Harrison Time
	11:04pm G: Howdy. I gotta get more fucking sleep. I'm losing a step on the rapid typing...
	11:04pm Danne D: LOL - Evan's entire show is going to consist of the Ticket Giveaway Segment Title :)
	11:05pm PB: Speaking of "dogs", I hear that the new Stooges album is a real dog.
	11:05pm pacific standard simon: I remember tube testers as late as the early '70s. I have a feeling that, as coin operated photocopiers became more in-demand, store managers found the motivation to phase out the tube-testers.
	11:06pm Danne D: I saw Corn Mo open up for TMBG once. I will not be calling to win that particular prize.
	11:06pm Danne D: "3" - the one with Keith Emerson in it??! :) en.wikipedia.org...
	11:07pm Danne D: (and yes, as a matter of fact I do have a copy of that album - and yeah it has one of the more painful covers of "Eight Miles High" on it)
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Well - as I see it - digital has all the advantages (clarity, compressible, programmable) - except this: Instead of representing the Soundwave analogously (analog) - it Samples it - taking Sections of it & converting it into numbers (digits-digital): - You don't get a curvy soundwave, but a jagged thing w/ edges. The detail of the edges will depend on your Sampling Rate. - Another problem w/ digital is the changing Formats, of course. Every medium has its' own qualities, in the end... - Boris!
	11:08pm Stevel: It is the Red Fish that I love.
	11:08pm G: @Danne: He's still got a little way to go before beating the world's longest song title, Christine Lavin's "Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me 11:00 On a Friday Morning to Tell Me that at 1:00 Friday Afternoon You're Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go Out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks, Not that I Wanted to Go With You, I Wasn't Able to Leave Town, I'm Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn't Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out With You for Three Years I DON'T Like Surprises!! Subtitled: A Musical Apology"
	11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Yay pHoaming Edison!
	11:10pm Danne D: That's two Christine Lavin references in the same day, now. AmNazz played her on her show today.
	11:11pm fleep: Even chopped up into digital bits, this show sound great, EFD.
	11:14pm Julie: This sounds like you really got me
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...since you can't copyright song titles (a billion 'I Love Yous'...) - you could have another song w/ that title!; as long as it was completely different...
	11:15pm Danne D: LOL - this is quite the publicity picture for "3" - surprised Clay hasn't played them: upload.wikimedia.org...
	11:15pm pacific standard simon: Nice compressed guitar tracks on this Hensley thing.
	11:17pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hensley. Like Bolan backed up by Greg ginn.
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...efd programming flawless - 'technically' speaking : p ...
	11:18pm pacific standard simon: @B. Shabazz - that's good!
	11:20pm Droll: [back from kitchen] Squeee!! I perfectly recall that tube tester at the local drug store!!! The new ticket giveaway bumper is the best because it includes both the new and the old! I thought I misheard 3 -- I will shove DD out of the way to get into that show.
	11:20pm pacific standard simon: "Funk" is yo' middle name!
	11:21pm KP: So much lag in my feed i was worried that last song was "999."
	11:22pm Loretta: what a great night of music.... thanks evan! been dancin' all night....
	11:22pm Rickwaukee: I'm having trouble just doing the 33-1/3
	11:23pm Droll: The difference between analog and digital is that when analog is overdriven it bends, when digital is overdriven it breaks. If you're listening to a MP3 or CD, tubes don't matter, but if you're plugging your guitar straight into it or summing 48 tracks, tubes make all the difference in the world.
	11:23pm G: do the 16 then
	11:24pm Danne D: Btw, according to the accuplaylist search engine, there's only one WFMU DJ that has ever played anything off of Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Love Beach" - anyone want to venture a guess at who this DJ is? (they are on the current schedule, that's my one clue)
	11:25pm pacific standard simon: Station Manager Ken?
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - the difference between Production & Reproduction there...
	11:25pm KP: "They"?
	11:25pm Droll: G, When I was a youth I bought a transcription-speed turntable (16RPM) just to play back Rush records at half speed so I could learn the riffs exactly. Yes and ELP sounded the same at half speed.
	11:25pm Danne D: good guess Simon, but no. I'll give a couple more folks a shot but will reveal before the end :)
	11:26pm G: @Danne: No embarrassing the nice DJ :p
	11:26pm john: Danne, a hint? Was it played ironically?
	11:26pm KP: Does Glen Jones count as a DJ?
	11:26pm Danne D: I don't think it was played ironically :) But I cannot get in the mind of an FMU DJ :)
	11:27pm efd: nose/face you guys.
	11:27pm KP: Everything is played ironically.
	11:27pm Danne D: @KP Yes, but no KP as his playlists don't get put into the accuplaylist I don't think.
	11:27pm G: Do I remember this Love Beach issue being discussed on a board once? Anyway, I bet Danne's point is that it's present company, and I am sure Danne has him kvelling :)
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was there ever another intention to 16 RPM?
	11:28pm pacific standard simon: Trying to think of an FMU DJ MORE perverted than Ken...
	11:28pm Danne D: Anyway, rather than destroy the rest of the comments with this one I will say that it was a DJ filling in for Jonesy :) A DJ who happens to be on the air right now. EFD - the original Prog Rock King :D
	11:29pm Julie: Bufferin' -- for when your slow net connection gives you a headache
	11:29pm G: tolja 0:-)
	11:29pm steve: Droll - to be fair, putting a good tube preamp between your mp3 player and your speakers can still do some magic!
	11:29pm Danne D: Yeah, I got wondering when I tried to find "3" in the accuplaylist search. Alas, that "3" hasn't been played on FMU (at least on an accuplaylist show)
	11:30pm Barkevious Shabazz: I had a turntable with no needle. Even Hemispheres sounded good.
	11:30pm Rickwaukee: Kimberly-Clark will smite ye, Kleenex Girl Wonder
	11:30pm Droll: DD, I dunno about that, DJ Donna Summer (Jason Forrest) once played Tarkus in it's entirety in the middle of a breakcore set. That's what hooked me on FMU some 13 years ago.
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'That's not Buffering Issues - that's our Programming.' - Made me think of Dave Mandl & Comments, actually...
	11:31pm pacific standard simon: My junior high school library had a ton of 16 RPM "audiobook" LPs -- that was how you listened to Edgar Allan Poe stories, or whatever.
	11:31pm G: @Droll: I just adjusted the speed down on the turntable and retuned the guitar to match :p Another fun method was transfer the track top reel-to-reel, and cut the speed in half to make things one octave lower and half the velocity :)
	11:32pm Rickwaukee: Elementary, my dear Hodge
	11:32pm Danne D: @Droll I know I was just goofin' :) Terre has played a little prog once in a while - sometimes when I've turned up on her comments page ;)
	11:32pm Michael from the Left Coast: any hyphenates on the Clinton Hensley album?
	11:33pm Danne D: @Droll - my first car was called the Tarkus #TrueFact
	11:34pm pacific standard simon: Screaming Blue Messiahs! One of my favorite '80s bands. But not the Flinstones song.
	11:35pm Rickwaukee: I would have gone with The English Horseface
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I never heard of 16 RPM recording before! How great it's Poe...Digital great for pitch control - but Backwards, the obligatory Psych effect - tape for that...
	11:36pm Sarah Jessica Parker: I luv this band.
	11:36pm Mike Napoli: yeah!
	11:36pm Droll: DD, Do you know commenter, AZ? They have a Tarkus Cake photo! wfmu.org...
	11:37pm efd: @MichaelftLC, surprisingly no!
	11:37pm pacific standard simon: No Carter vocal, but otherwise sounds the same.
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Parchment Farm' riff...Tarkus cake is a phenom.!
	11:38pm Danne D: @Droll no. But I just friended them :)
	11:40pm Danne D: I certainly can't goof on EFD about fantasy baseball as my team is suckin' - it zoomed all the way up to 8th place tonight
	11:41pm pacific standard simon: So... there must be a Horseface US, right?
	11:41pm Danne D: At least Belock finally made a transaction. It was kinda embarrassing having him kick all our asses w/o even changing his roster once. He's still in 1st though. EFD is running in 4th currently.
	11:43pm pacific standard simon: Simultaneously following a very ugly Giants/Diamondbacks game. Brandon Crawford is this year's model.
	11:44pm KP: Anybody hear Irwin's comment this afternoon: "My cat came out of the closet today."
	11:47pm pacific standard simon: Irwin's a shit-stirrer, and I don't think he has a problem with that.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KP: Yeah.
	11:51pm Danne D: Btw, welcome back Hanley Ramirez :) 4/7 already
	11:51pm Stevel: KP: Need to catch up with that. Busy days are not good radio days, unless you're 'trapped' at the computer.
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard kewl YYY's/Karen O. stuff lately. Pleased by that.
	11:52pm Danne D: didn't hear it. Didn't realize his cat played basketball
	11:53pm G: My cat is always in the goddam closet.
	11:56pm pacific standard simon: @G - put yer damn dirty socks in the hamper, already!
	11:56pm Droll: Irwin? That quiet guy who keeps his opinions to himself? I can't imagine he'd instigate anything. Is he really still on air? I thought they just gave that old coot a hairbrush to talk into for three hours.
	11:56pm 12539: Great show, Evan!
	11:58pm G: He saw a camera and came out to pose on my shoulder. And then back in the closet again. Seriously, he can monitor all the comings and goings from a cushy spot right next to the toilet paper inventory. Hisses if you open the door on him.
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...The Polls all show that younger people - Aquarian Age Knowledge people - all acknowledge that people are born w/ their sexual preferences - & all the older people of the Piscean Age - the age of Belief & Religion don't acknowledge it. ...It's a Civil Rights issue & it's all over bit the shouting, as expression goes...
	11:58pm fleep: Thanks, EFD.
	11:58pm pacific standard simon: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show is a carnival funk-house!
	11:59pm steve: yyys and dr octagon, didnt see that coming
	12:00am Droll: Thanks, EFD. See you next week, and get ready for that drum throwdown, I know Irwin has been doing his homework!
	12:00am Stevel: The efd imprimatur. Yes, I had to use spell check on that.
	12:01am Danne D: Thanks for a great show EFD :) Thanks commenters for humoring my usual goofiness :) Take care all :D
	12:01am G: imprimatur, latin present subjunctive "it may be printed"
	12:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + !
	12:02am Danne D: Yup RR1163 - the times ain't changing back. Thank goodness for that :)
	5:26pm Ajax: Dave Meniketti is a bay area hero! Great to hear some Yesterday & Today. And that Cuts track still sounds so hot. Great show EFD. I am looking forward to your WAX IDOLS stories!
