	9:28pm jon: hi efd. amazing show always
	9:30pm excuse me: Hi evan I remember . You and your cohorts Broke all of these songs Each week As they came out. Twas a special time for music. Thanks.
	9:31pm efd: thanks for remembering! I'd encourage everyone to look at the story I linked to over there on the left for some background on WNYU's New Afternoon Show and what made it so special.
	9:40pm bobdoesthings: good evening
	9:40pm P-90: [Out of breath] Hi efd and everyone, got here as fast as I could. What'd I miss?
	9:43pm efd: <------- read it and weep, P-90!
	9:43pm glenn: i kinda like how midge ure went from thin lizzy to ultravox, and i think he might be playing with jethro tull these days.
	9:44pm P-90: Cool link about Sal Locurto.
	9:45pm P-90: Midge Ure: a real R&R "utility player"
	9:46pm glenn: good glove, no stick.

	9:53pm Chris M.: missing so many music from my collection thanks a lot, efd :(
	9:54pm efd: happy thoughts, Chris! Happy thoughts!
	9:56pm arrow apple: I have this on a cassette with DJ comments about prods
	9:56pm Barkevious Shabazz: Betty Brite's Prince cover "When You were Mine" fits the tone and the time perfectly.
	10:01pm Cheyenne: I've heard a faster version of white mice, but I am digging this song!
	10:01pm Chris M.: if my personal friend EFD doesn't get his goal thingy to 50% TONIGHT i will inhale a dead boys lp until i am legally dead. it's on you, dear listeners! get this guy's goal to the halfway point or i start snorting and i don't stop! #threats
	10:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: Wanna buy a bridge?
	10:03pm Roberto: Ken played the video to this on one of his all-video-format shows last year.
	10:03pm bobdoesthings: @chrisM - hmmm depends.. who'd take your timeslot?

	10:04pm Simon Stainrod: hi Mike
	10:04pm Stevel: Yo, UM!
	10:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: Follow the Leader 10"?
	10:05pm bobdoesthings: Im kidding of course... I couldn't loose you chrisM.
	10:05pm efd: as Chris M points out, WFMU is in the middle of Crunch Time, our off-air fundraiser that helps to close the gap between our yearly on-air marathons in the spring. I'd love to get closer to the lofty goal Station Dictator Ken has set for me, so if you're able please make a pledge! Use that white box with the dog and cow over there on the left, or just follow this link: www.wfmu.org... Thank you!!
	10:05pm V Priceless: Hey efd!
	10:06pm efd: Darn tootin', Barkevious!
	10:07pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dag!
	10:07pm efd: hey V! And hey everyone! Uncle Michael, happy first full Cubs NLDS Winners Day!
	10:09pm V Priceless: Cale !
	10:10pm P-90: Yo UM! Have you heard the news about the Pufnstuf reboot going into production? [Weirdly fun just typing the phrase "Pufnstuf reboot."]
	10:11pm cheri: this is really a fun show, evan! I love it!
	10:12pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Evan. It's good to be alive.
	10:15pm Clay: Wish they would reboot "Lidsville." Do you remember it? Where everyone was a hat? EFD, outstanding as always!
	10:15pm Danne D: soooooooo good EFD :) Hi Everyone :) GO BLUE JAYS :)
	10:16pm Jim Allen: I've got this CSE single, I believe it's the only thing they ever released, which seems crazy considering how good this is.
	10:16pm JakeGould: @Clay: Lidsville? Really? of all of these shows? Okay, I accept that… I loved Sigmund the Seamonster.
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Best fake Jam ever.
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Lidsville...Charles Nelson Reilly...nuff said.
	10:18pm efd: ooh that reminds me, I've got a good fake Echo & the Bunnymen record I should play
	10:19pm arrow apple: Well that didn't work. Filled out pledge page and nothing happened. Maybe as a listener of NAS from the 80's I'm sinileishy. oh yeah. I was old already in the 80's.
	10:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not subversive drug culture - it's just called Lidsville Now this is a tasty stack o' singles.
	10:20pm JakeGould: This sounds like the “Gimme Some Loving” riff right here.
	10:20pm Clay: @Jake. Actually I just tuned in so I missed the discussion about "all these shows." I just saw the Sid & Marty reference. In truth, I wish there was a Johnny Quest reboot! I still idolize Race Bannon.
	10:21pm efd: @arrow apple, what are your initials? I can see if it entered our system or not -- and thanks for at least wanting to pledge! :)
	10:21pm JakeGould: @Clay: Ahhh! Johnny Quest would be great. If they could only do it non-ironically.
	10:21pm efd: definitely a riff I'm partial to, @JakeGould
	10:23pm JakeGould: I hate Illinois Nazis.
	10:24pm Ice in Brooklyn: Oh goodness
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Belfast Calling.
	10:24pm Jim Allen: I'm raising my kids "in the tradition" so to speak, and when my daughter was about 3, she would always request repeat plays of "Shake and Shout," shaking and shouting along, of course.
	10:24pm John: I thought I was the only one who liked this SLF record!
	10:25pm Clay: @Jake. I know. I was disappointed when the remake of Dark Shadows was comedic.
	10:25pm Simon Stainrod: All these English classics you're playing which never get played on UK radio
	10:25pm kwi: Thanks EFD for all.
	10:27pm P-90: Can't say much about it , but I'm currently in development with a script for a movie that is not "Jonny Quest", but will specifically deliver what every hyper-nostalgic Quest fan wants in a "Quest" movie, but will never get. Big project.
	10:28pm JakeGould: @P-90: I wish you well!
	10:28pm common: do tell, p-90
	10:28pm Jim Allen: @EFD, the fake Echo tune is "Tribes" by Soul, isn't it... :)
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: Venture Brothers is the ironic Johnny Quest reboot we needed...others need not apply.
	10:29pm P-90: Yeah, what's the "fake Echo" tune?
	10:29pm efd: dammit Jim! :D
	10:30pm cheri: i'm still listening to the show, so night all!
	10:30pm Jim Allen: Hey, it's one of the few I don't have, play it!
	10:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wow, much nicer song than the one from Billy Idol with a similar name!
	10:35pm Clay: A non-sequiter perhaps, but ... I could never figure out why, with all the other stuff that's managed to make it to Broadway, Bat Out Of Hell has never been staged. It seems like a natural. Steinman must not want it. Shame.
	10:37pm Linda Lee: well! back down corners of memory lane i thought were demolished. thank you efd!
	10:37pm P-90: @Clay: BooH always did have a Broadway musical sensibility, didn't it? Some resemblance to "Rocky Horror" in that way...?
	10:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: If I weren't reading the comments and the accuplaylist, I'd be totally faked into believing that was Echo and the Bunnymen.
	10:40pm Clay: @P90. Yes! Maybe Jack Black could reprise the Meat Loaf role.
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: Astros about to go play a lot of golf.
	10:41pm efd: they even drop a "pictures on my wall" lyric in there!
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Wow...Morales 3 run shot to put the Royals up 7-2 in the bottom of the 8th.
	10:42pm Clay: '81 ... what a year. New England. Remember them?
	10:42pm JakeGould: @Clay: Yes! Take that Meatloaf to the bank and cash it!
	10:42pm efd: i was kind of hoping the Astros could pull it off this year, but I won't be mad if/when KC wins.
	10:43pm efd: @Clay "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya!"
	10:43pm efd: on the short-lived Infinity label
	10:44pm Clay: @Evan ... Yeah! I think Todd produced them at some point. Oh and ... METS! METS! METS!
	10:44pm glenn: well, at least i won't have to look at colby rasmus' greasy lid for the next week.
	10:44pm Ignore Function: Pseudo Echo and the Bunnymen?
	10:45pm Uncle Michael: Evan, Cubs/Royals is my best/worst case scenario.
	10:45pm efd: ooh, nice one Ignore Function!
	10:47pm Clay: The goat will smite the Cubs.
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: I eat goat. pfft
	10:48pm Ignore Function: Thanks. And nice show, Evan!
	10:50pm Clay: Didn't pete have the LP where his striped shirt matched the background? Purple and black? Always thought that was cool. @Uncle Michael ... actually wouldn't mind seeing the Cubbies finally do it. Anyone but the Cardinals.
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: Astros are done.
	10:51pm daveB from Oakland: re: Homo Sapien by Pete Shelley. i love this song. I discovered it via MTV, and I was into it before I knew anything about the Buzzcocks
	10:51pm Clay: Love this MFP concept, Ev. Like Colgate. Mono Flouro Phosphates ... Music for Pleasure! OK. My posting frenzy ends now. Great show!
	10:52pm Danne D: party like it's 1985. Blue Jays vs Royals for a spot in the World Series! should be a good one as these teams really really hate each other.
	10:53pm Clay: Bring back Oral Hersheiser and George (Preparation H) Brett!
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: I saw one of the '85 Royals/Jays games at Royals Stadium.
	10:54pm V Priceless: Yay Stranglers!
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: It's just like 1975 except the Cards have been eliminated and Don Denkinger is retired.
	10:58pm Uncle Michael: 1985
	10:58pm Clay: Whoa. Jack Casady? SVT, named after his bass cabinets. So he dipped a toe in the new wave? Last post ever.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: typing is too hard. I'm going to listen in the dark. I have the SVT singles around somewhere.
	10:59pm dave from knoxville: Are you playing "New Math" because you knew I would show up, Evan?
	11:00pm Uncle Michael: GREAT show Evan. Night all.
	11:00pm johnk77: svt's brian marnell rip:< out of novato, ca they rehearsed at 2400 fulton, sf great show @efd
	11:00pm Danne D: night Uncle Michael :)
	11:01pm Jim Allen: Fun fact: "Invocation" was inspired by a creepy Kenneth Anger short film.
	11:02pm tinkle bear: god, efd. pete shelley, the stranglers. the hot tuna track. and on and on. dude, you are more on fire than that welsh small-town dude in the kids in the hall sketch. awesome to behold. thank you for being on fire! hope it doesn't hurt too much.
	11:04pm efd: aw, i'm sorry to learn that Brian Marnell is no longer with us. That song is so good. Thanks johnk.
	11:04pm Linda Lee: amazing, amazing show efd. loved this stuff back in the day. loved it. loved wnyu.
	11:05pm dave from knoxville: Hot dog, this one is great
	11:06pm V Priceless: Fab show Evan! Woo!
	11:09pm excuse me: And the hits just keep on coming.
	11:14pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yep. I knew it. I got home late, too late to catch the John Cale song. Maybe there'll be another......
	11:14pm dave from knoxville: Love this one too. efd is on FIRE
	11:17pm Jim Allen: Tenpole Tudor would sound great coming out of this...just sayin'! :)
	11:22pm cheri: evan, thanks ever so much for a bang up show!!! have a great week!
	11:23pm dave from knoxville: I know this will be hard for you to believe, but going to college in Knoxville Tennessee didn't afford many chances to hear these songs. But I have an advanced degree in Molly Hatchet please God make it stop
	11:24pm JakeGould: This “Klacto” song’s title sounds like rectal to me. Sorry.
	11:24pm efd: haha, I'll try to push that Molly Hatchet right out of your head, Dave! (Except for "Lady Luck," that song's cool.) Glad you're enjoying the show cheri and everyone else!
	11:25pm efd: Julie, damn! I had hoped you might be listening when I played that Cale record. Thanks for pledging nonetheless!
	11:26pm Julie M Brooklyn: My pleasure. Anything to keep Station Dictator Ken at bay.
	11:34pm Rev: Cheri is one of the saddest dudes on here.
	11:37pm tinkle bear: omg, and you even played human league, before i tuned in. efd, you are my hero! forever.
	11:38pm Jeffy Jazz: I feel like I just started listening to music! Great show, EFD!!
	11:38pm efd: @tinkle bear, perhaps you'll enjoy the next song from the poor man's human league.
	11:41pm Jim Allen: RICH man's Human League! Anyway, wow the original 7 inch version sounds so much better than the one they re-recorded for their EP with real drums (by Simon Phillips no less!).
	11:42pm Julie M Brooklyn: Pardon my ignorance, but why does this sound so much like Gary Numan?
	11:42pm tinkle bear: efd, as they say, it's like you know me. (although i don't understand why they don't call it poor-man's Sparks. but whatever.)
	11:43pm JakeGould: @JulieMBrooklyn: Because Gary Numan was a thing.
	11:43pm efd: or poor man's Gary Numan? Julie, I think that was just the sound at the time.
	11:43pm Linda Lee: amazing .. in retrospect .. how much of this stuff sounds alike. but not a problem!
	11:46pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yeah, well, I'm a lightweight, unless it's John Cale or Jonathan Richman. That's not a hint, efd....
	11:49pm tinkle bear: yeah, i dunno. sparks and human league (+ gang of four) were somehow what struck me as politically pertinent at the time. but yeah, i guess it's the eye of the beholder. yay, music.
	11:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Why does a lot of the material sound the same? It's kind of like the Kinks' album title: Give the People What They Want.
	11:51pm MrMikeyRiggsNYC: Ah, APB at the Roxy. It's a blur.
	11:52pm V Priceless: Ahh...Scotland's funky finest!
	11:56pm Linda Lee: really just lovely music here. i can almost face the snow coming this weekend now.
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the neat time-travel show, EFD. Between the throw-downs, disco celebrations, tributes to old friends, etc. throughout the year, I need to make up an EFD calendar to keep track of it all. Pledge for all that hard work, folks!
	11:58pm efd: snow?! Yikes, I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
	11:59pm efd: Thank you all for the enthusiastic comments! I really appreciate it - it's great to see you're having as much fun listening to these records as I am playing them!
	12:00am Linda Lee: not to worry, efd. none for you yet. i'm upstate about 100 miles.
	12:00am Simon Stainrod: jaa keep on rockin'
	12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: I didn't notice snow in the forecast, but it showed a couple nights that will go below freezing. Even moreso up in the hills where Linda resides.
	12:00am JakeGould: Thanks EFD!!!
	12:01am Linda Lee: can't wait for singles goin steady!
	12:01am P-90: THANKS efd!
	12:01am Simon Stainrod: me too Linda!!
	12:02am V Priceless: Thanx efd!
	10:42am Brian in UK: Love the Mood Six, different mix to the original and LP versions? Extra verse and castanets. Did you know the Department S's Is Vic There title is taken from a Monty Python phone-in show sketch on Matching Tie album. Ofcourse you knew that efd. Great show.

October 14, 2015: Son Of The Return Of MAYHEM IN THE PM!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

It's my second show of Crunch Time, WFMU's Silent Fundraiser and Mascot Contest, and I've put together a special show to remind you of how awesome WFMU is (not to mention my show in particular! right?!), and hopefully to motivate you to pledge.

Tonight it's the eagerly awaited return of Mayhem In The PM! Yes, it's another three hours of nothing but power-pop, post-punk, new wave and punk records (yes, RECORDS) from 1977ish through 1982, presented in a Top 40 style just like I used to do on WNYU's New Afternoon Show^* a long long time ago. You'll hear some of your old favorites and some others that'll become new faves instantly!

Now, because this is a SILENT fundraiser I won't be talking about it much at all during my show which means I'm depending on the written word to convince you to PLEASE PLEDGE! This is the time of year when the money we raised during our 2015 fundraising marathon starts to dry up, and the 2016 marathon is still several long months away, so any help you can offer would be amazing.

If you've already pledged, THANK YOU! Your support is greatly appreciated. If not,
P L E A S E P L E D G E N O W !

Stay tuned for more special shows this month, and of course please take a moment to Like The Evan "Funk" Davies Show on Facebook and follow me on Twitter! Thank you.!

^*I really recommend reading this article to get a better understanding of the inspiration for tonight's show.

	9:30pm excuse me: Hi evan I remember . You and your cohorts Broke all of these songs Each week As they came out. Twas a special time for music. Thanks.
	9:31pm efd: thanks for remembering! I'd encourage everyone to look at the story I linked to over there on the left for some background on WNYU's New Afternoon Show and what made it so special.
	9:40pm bobdoesthings: good evening
	9:40pm P-90: [Out of breath] Hi efd and everyone, got here as fast as I could. What'd I miss?
	9:43pm efd: <------- read it and weep, P-90!
	9:43pm glenn: i kinda like how midge ure went from thin lizzy to ultravox, and i think he might be playing with jethro tull these days.

	9:45pm P-90: Midge Ure: a real R&R "utility player"
	9:46pm glenn: good glove, no stick.

	10:01pm Cheyenne: I've heard a faster version of white mice, but I am digging this song!
	10:01pm Chris M.: if my personal friend EFD doesn't get his goal thingy to 50% TONIGHT i will inhale a dead boys lp until i am legally dead. it's on you, dear listeners! get this guy's goal to the halfway point or i start snorting and i don't stop! #threats
	10:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: Wanna buy a bridge?
	10:03pm Roberto: Ken played the video to this on one of his all-video-format shows last year.

	10:04pm Simon Stainrod: hi Mike
	10:04pm Stevel: Yo, UM!
	10:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: Follow the Leader 10"?
	10:05pm bobdoesthings: Im kidding of course... I couldn't loose you chrisM.
	10:05pm efd: as Chris M points out, WFMU is in the middle of Crunch Time, our off-air fundraiser that helps to close the gap between our yearly on-air marathons in the spring. I'd love to get closer to the lofty goal Station Dictator Ken has set for me, so if you're able please make a pledge! Use that white box with the dog and cow over there on the left, or just follow this link: www.wfmu.org... Thank you!!
	10:05pm V Priceless: Hey efd!
	10:06pm efd: Darn tootin', Barkevious!
	10:07pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dag!
	10:07pm efd: hey V! And hey everyone! Uncle Michael, happy first full Cubs NLDS Winners Day!
	10:09pm V Priceless: Cale !
	10:10pm P-90: Yo UM! Have you heard the news about the Pufnstuf reboot going into production? [Weirdly fun just typing the phrase "Pufnstuf reboot."]
	10:11pm cheri: this is really a fun show, evan! I love it!
	10:12pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Evan. It's good to be alive.
	10:15pm Clay: Wish they would reboot "Lidsville." Do you remember it? Where everyone was a hat? EFD, outstanding as always!
	10:15pm Danne D: soooooooo good EFD :) Hi Everyone :) GO BLUE JAYS :)
	10:16pm Jim Allen: I've got this CSE single, I believe it's the only thing they ever released, which seems crazy considering how good this is.
	10:16pm JakeGould: @Clay: Lidsville? Really? of all of these shows? Okay, I accept that… I loved Sigmund the Seamonster.
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Best fake Jam ever.
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Lidsville...Charles Nelson Reilly...nuff said.
	10:18pm efd: ooh that reminds me, I've got a good fake Echo & the Bunnymen record I should play
	10:19pm arrow apple: Well that didn't work. Filled out pledge page and nothing happened. Maybe as a listener of NAS from the 80's I'm sinileishy. oh yeah. I was old already in the 80's.
	10:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not subversive drug culture - it's just called Lidsville Now this is a tasty stack o' singles.
	10:20pm JakeGould: This sounds like the “Gimme Some Loving” riff right here.
	10:20pm Clay: @Jake. Actually I just tuned in so I missed the discussion about "all these shows." I just saw the Sid & Marty reference. In truth, I wish there was a Johnny Quest reboot! I still idolize Race Bannon.
	10:21pm efd: @arrow apple, what are your initials? I can see if it entered our system or not -- and thanks for at least wanting to pledge! :)
	10:21pm JakeGould: @Clay: Ahhh! Johnny Quest would be great. If they could only do it non-ironically.
	10:21pm efd: definitely a riff I'm partial to, @JakeGould
	10:23pm JakeGould: I hate Illinois Nazis.
	10:24pm Ice in Brooklyn: Oh goodness
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Belfast Calling.
	10:24pm Jim Allen: I'm raising my kids "in the tradition" so to speak, and when my daughter was about 3, she would always request repeat plays of "Shake and Shout," shaking and shouting along, of course.
	10:24pm John: I thought I was the only one who liked this SLF record!
	10:25pm Clay: @Jake. I know. I was disappointed when the remake of Dark Shadows was comedic.
	10:25pm Simon Stainrod: All these English classics you're playing which never get played on UK radio
	10:25pm kwi: Thanks EFD for all.
	10:27pm P-90: Can't say much about it , but I'm currently in development with a script for a movie that is not "Jonny Quest", but will specifically deliver what every hyper-nostalgic Quest fan wants in a "Quest" movie, but will never get. Big project.
	10:28pm JakeGould: @P-90: I wish you well!
	10:28pm common: do tell, p-90
	10:28pm Jim Allen: @EFD, the fake Echo tune is "Tribes" by Soul, isn't it... :)
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: Venture Brothers is the ironic Johnny Quest reboot we needed...others need not apply.
	10:29pm P-90: Yeah, what's the "fake Echo" tune?
	10:29pm efd: dammit Jim! :D
	10:30pm cheri: i'm still listening to the show, so night all!
	10:30pm Jim Allen: Hey, it's one of the few I don't have, play it!
	10:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wow, much nicer song than the one from Billy Idol with a similar name!
	10:35pm Clay: A non-sequiter perhaps, but ... I could never figure out why, with all the other stuff that's managed to make it to Broadway, Bat Out Of Hell has never been staged. It seems like a natural. Steinman must not want it. Shame.
	10:37pm Linda Lee: well! back down corners of memory lane i thought were demolished. thank you efd!
	10:37pm P-90: @Clay: BooH always did have a Broadway musical sensibility, didn't it? Some resemblance to "Rocky Horror" in that way...?
	10:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: If I weren't reading the comments and the accuplaylist, I'd be totally faked into believing that was Echo and the Bunnymen.
	10:40pm Clay: @P90. Yes! Maybe Jack Black could reprise the Meat Loaf role.
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: Astros about to go play a lot of golf.
	10:41pm efd: they even drop a "pictures on my wall" lyric in there!
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Wow...Morales 3 run shot to put the Royals up 7-2 in the bottom of the 8th.
	10:42pm Clay: '81 ... what a year. New England. Remember them?
	10:42pm JakeGould: @Clay: Yes! Take that Meatloaf to the bank and cash it!
	10:42pm efd: i was kind of hoping the Astros could pull it off this year, but I won't be mad if/when KC wins.
	10:43pm efd: @Clay "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya!"
	10:43pm efd: on the short-lived Infinity label
	10:44pm Clay: @Evan ... Yeah! I think Todd produced them at some point. Oh and ... METS! METS! METS!
	10:44pm glenn: well, at least i won't have to look at colby rasmus' greasy lid for the next week.
	10:44pm Ignore Function: Pseudo Echo and the Bunnymen?
	10:45pm Uncle Michael: Evan, Cubs/Royals is my best/worst case scenario.
	10:45pm efd: ooh, nice one Ignore Function!
	10:47pm Clay: The goat will smite the Cubs.
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: I eat goat. pfft
	10:48pm Ignore Function: Thanks. And nice show, Evan!
	10:50pm Clay: Didn't pete have the LP where his striped shirt matched the background? Purple and black? Always thought that was cool. @Uncle Michael ... actually wouldn't mind seeing the Cubbies finally do it. Anyone but the Cardinals.
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: Astros are done.
	10:51pm daveB from Oakland: re: Homo Sapien by Pete Shelley. i love this song. I discovered it via MTV, and I was into it before I knew anything about the Buzzcocks
	10:51pm Clay: Love this MFP concept, Ev. Like Colgate. Mono Flouro Phosphates ... Music for Pleasure! OK. My posting frenzy ends now. Great show!
	10:52pm Danne D: party like it's 1985. Blue Jays vs Royals for a spot in the World Series! should be a good one as these teams really really hate each other.
	10:53pm Clay: Bring back Oral Hersheiser and George (Preparation H) Brett!
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: I saw one of the '85 Royals/Jays games at Royals Stadium.
	10:54pm V Priceless: Yay Stranglers!
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: It's just like 1975 except the Cards have been eliminated and Don Denkinger is retired.
	10:58pm Uncle Michael: 1985
	10:58pm Clay: Whoa. Jack Casady? SVT, named after his bass cabinets. So he dipped a toe in the new wave? Last post ever.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: typing is too hard. I'm going to listen in the dark. I have the SVT singles around somewhere.
	10:59pm dave from knoxville: Are you playing "New Math" because you knew I would show up, Evan?
	11:00pm Uncle Michael: GREAT show Evan. Night all.
	11:00pm johnk77: svt's brian marnell rip:< out of novato, ca they rehearsed at 2400 fulton, sf great show @efd
	11:00pm Danne D: night Uncle Michael :)
	11:01pm Jim Allen: Fun fact: "Invocation" was inspired by a creepy Kenneth Anger short film.
	11:02pm tinkle bear: god, efd. pete shelley, the stranglers. the hot tuna track. and on and on. dude, you are more on fire than that welsh small-town dude in the kids in the hall sketch. awesome to behold. thank you for being on fire! hope it doesn't hurt too much.
	11:04pm efd: aw, i'm sorry to learn that Brian Marnell is no longer with us. That song is so good. Thanks johnk.
	11:04pm Linda Lee: amazing, amazing show efd. loved this stuff back in the day. loved it. loved wnyu.
	11:05pm dave from knoxville: Hot dog, this one is great
	11:06pm V Priceless: Fab show Evan! Woo!
	11:09pm excuse me: And the hits just keep on coming.
	11:14pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yep. I knew it. I got home late, too late to catch the John Cale song. Maybe there'll be another......
	11:14pm dave from knoxville: Love this one too. efd is on FIRE
	11:17pm Jim Allen: Tenpole Tudor would sound great coming out of this...just sayin'! :)
	11:22pm cheri: evan, thanks ever so much for a bang up show!!! have a great week!
	11:23pm dave from knoxville: I know this will be hard for you to believe, but going to college in Knoxville Tennessee didn't afford many chances to hear these songs. But I have an advanced degree in Molly Hatchet please God make it stop
	11:24pm JakeGould: This “Klacto” song’s title sounds like rectal to me. Sorry.
	11:24pm efd: haha, I'll try to push that Molly Hatchet right out of your head, Dave! (Except for "Lady Luck," that song's cool.) Glad you're enjoying the show cheri and everyone else!
	11:25pm efd: Julie, damn! I had hoped you might be listening when I played that Cale record. Thanks for pledging nonetheless!
	11:26pm Julie M Brooklyn: My pleasure. Anything to keep Station Dictator Ken at bay.
	11:34pm Rev: Cheri is one of the saddest dudes on here.
	11:37pm tinkle bear: omg, and you even played human league, before i tuned in. efd, you are my hero! forever.
	11:38pm Jeffy Jazz: I feel like I just started listening to music! Great show, EFD!!
	11:38pm efd: @tinkle bear, perhaps you'll enjoy the next song from the poor man's human league.
	11:41pm Jim Allen: RICH man's Human League! Anyway, wow the original 7 inch version sounds so much better than the one they re-recorded for their EP with real drums (by Simon Phillips no less!).
	11:42pm Julie M Brooklyn: Pardon my ignorance, but why does this sound so much like Gary Numan?
	11:42pm tinkle bear: efd, as they say, it's like you know me. (although i don't understand why they don't call it poor-man's Sparks. but whatever.)
	11:43pm JakeGould: @JulieMBrooklyn: Because Gary Numan was a thing.
	11:43pm efd: or poor man's Gary Numan? Julie, I think that was just the sound at the time.
	11:43pm Linda Lee: amazing .. in retrospect .. how much of this stuff sounds alike. but not a problem!
	11:46pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yeah, well, I'm a lightweight, unless it's John Cale or Jonathan Richman. That's not a hint, efd....
	11:49pm tinkle bear: yeah, i dunno. sparks and human league (+ gang of four) were somehow what struck me as politically pertinent at the time. but yeah, i guess it's the eye of the beholder. yay, music.
	11:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Why does a lot of the material sound the same? It's kind of like the Kinks' album title: Give the People What They Want.
	11:51pm MrMikeyRiggsNYC: Ah, APB at the Roxy. It's a blur.
	11:52pm V Priceless: Ahh...Scotland's funky finest!
	11:56pm Linda Lee: really just lovely music here. i can almost face the snow coming this weekend now.
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the neat time-travel show, EFD. Between the throw-downs, disco celebrations, tributes to old friends, etc. throughout the year, I need to make up an EFD calendar to keep track of it all. Pledge for all that hard work, folks!
	11:58pm efd: snow?! Yikes, I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
	11:59pm efd: Thank you all for the enthusiastic comments! I really appreciate it - it's great to see you're having as much fun listening to these records as I am playing them!
	12:00am Linda Lee: not to worry, efd. none for you yet. i'm upstate about 100 miles.
	12:00am Simon Stainrod: jaa keep on rockin'
	12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: I didn't notice snow in the forecast, but it showed a couple nights that will go below freezing. Even moreso up in the hills where Linda resides.
	12:00am JakeGould: Thanks EFD!!!
	12:01am Linda Lee: can't wait for singles goin steady!
	12:01am P-90: THANKS efd!
	12:01am Simon Stainrod: me too Linda!!
	12:02am V Priceless: Thanx efd!
	10:42am Brian in UK: Love the Mood Six, different mix to the original and LP versions? Extra verse and castanets. Did you know the Department S's Is Vic There title is taken from a Monty Python phone-in show sketch on Matching Tie album. Ofcourse you knew that efd. Great show.
