	9:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: What the hey? _or_ What the hay?
	9:41pm efd: heeeeeey everyone (who posted since the last time I said hey)!
	9:46pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Hay is for horses.
	9:47pm Cubicle Carl: Oooh..another nice track from the Ork compilation.
	9:53pm Cubicle Carl: Nice chord changes by salad boys.
	9:57pm JakeGould: FWIW, this Guardian article is a nice overview on the gestation and creation of the Ork Records box set. Have to thank “Angry Mom Records” for lots of the ephemera that was recovered as well. www.theguardian.com...
	9:58pm Stevel: Good evening. Working from home after a virus kept us off computers all day at work (not as relaxing as you might think.) Great to be here.
	9:59pm efd: I was just reading that article earlier today, courtesy of a fellow listener! It's what pushed me to finally crack open that box!
	10:00pm efd: hi Stevel, better a computer virus than a personal one at least.
	10:08pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Ahhh, so your office has fallen prey to th 4th day of Hankkah virus. Also known as the pre-December 13 advent virus.
	10:11pm coelacanth: hello efd and funkies
	10:13pm JakeGould: Wow! “Novella” sounds a lot like “Lush”. novellasinderlyn.bandcamp.com
	10:15pm Cubicle Carl: Great set, EFD.
	10:18pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi Funk Fans :)
	10:18pm Stevel: Our virus was primarily non-denominational (although apparently, it was the Ransom virus, which hardly seems festive to me.) Danne D!
	10:19pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD: Ha! I deliberately didn't mention the Kline/Cates connection to you. A good tune is a good tune, right?
	10:19pm Stevel: Evening (or morning) Eddy!
	10:19pm Danne D: Hey Stevel :)
	10:20pm P-90: DJ Stashu always leaves the reverb on odd settings.
	10:20pm Danne D: Not sure if Evan mentioned it already, but just in case you haven't heard, former WFMU host and Canadian treasure Nardwuar suffered a stroke this past weekend and is currently recovering :( exclaim.ca...
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: Evan, are you supposed to be poking around the fur-lined fallout shelter miles beneath the Earth's crust?
	10:21pm steve: more vocoder
	10:21pm Danne D: Well wishes can be sent to nardwuar@nardwuar.com
	10:22pm Cubicle Carl: @JakeGould, thanks for the ORK article. Amazing they were able to get it out.
	10:22pm Eddy in Australia: Hey Stevel! It's 2pm on a sunny Thursday afternoon here. Got EFD and the cricket on. @Danne: Sheesh, best wishes to Nardwuar
	10:25pm Jeff from Rahway: Hey some of us WELCOME the "baseball-less months" around here ;-)
	10:25pm Uncle Michael: The Winter Meetings are baseball, man.
	10:27pm Cubicle Carl: Thanks, Danne D for the info. Sorry to hear that bit of news. Many belly laughs occur while listening to Nardwuar. I wish him a speedy recovery.
	10:28pm efd: hey Eddy! Ha, that's pretty funny -- boy was I surprised!
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope and trust that Nardwuar will be back again good as new very soon.
	10:38pm Pete L: awesome pile of rock this set
	10:38pm coelacanth: oh shit. healing and positive vibes to Nardwuar. Thanks Danne D.
	10:41pm Eddy in Australia: Whoa, how have I never heard that Screams track before? Love it. Better look 'em up ...
	10:45pm Jeff from Rahway: Nardwuar is a fantastic interviewer. Speedy recovery!
	10:45pm Danne D: From my brief internet research - Screams hailed from Champaign, Illinois. Same town as REO Speedwagon and Poster Children. Cheap Trick hailed from Rockford, Illinois.
	10:47pm BriJet: Hello all.
	10:47pm Danne D: BriJet :)
	10:49pm BriJet: Hi Danne D!
	10:55pm efd: thanks for that info Danne - at least I was on the right track! Hi BriJet! and Jeff, Coelacanth, Ken, Pete, Carl, Uncle Michael, steve and anyone I didn't already say hi to!
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: oh hi
	10:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...lovin' this set...
	11:07pm Danne D: It's midnight in the maritime provinces, Evan :)
	11:10pm Danne D: Shellshag are pretty great :)
	11:19pm roswell, nm: nothing to see here
	11:20pm Danne D: Taping Kurt Vile on Colbert :) Actually performances usually are at the end so you guys can probably tune in live after Evan's show :)
	11:26pm JakeGould: @DanneD: Taping? Like actual tape? Remember to “Bee Kind • Rewind.”
	11:26pm Danne D: @JakeGould :) sure
	11:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake Gould - I think he's going to put his cassette recorder next to the TV speaker and record the sound.
	11:31pm coelacanth: ahem- i've never done that...never.
	11:32pm JakeGould: Jesus I love this AC/DC track. And the official video is great; very DIY. www.youtube.com...
	11:33pm JakeGould: Guys… I’m joking. I’m actually recording this show on a Hi-Fi VHS recorder in LP mode with a 8 hour tape. Imagine: 8 hours of WFMU on one cassette!
	11:36pm coelacanth: do you have it directly connected to your clock-radio or are you using microphones?
	11:36pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: I built a cabinet out of plywood and lined with with egg cartons. Put some 5 pound weights on top of it and it’s solid!
	11:37pm coelacanth: sswweeet!
	11:45pm coelacanth: really though Jake when i was little that kind of thing was a revelation! i tried many ways to hook up my panasonic mono cassette recorder directly to the record player. it got to the point that i'd un-plug everything, make the connections, plug it all into an extension cord and stand outside my bedroom to plug it into the outlet- just in case something exploded!
	11:48pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: In 1980 I was so excited about “The Empire Strikes Back” coming out I would just record any mention or review or preview of the movie on audio cassettes from the TV. Yup. Did that all.
	11:49pm coelacanth: haha!
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: This English Beat song makes me feel good. I guess I had good times when it was played in the 80s.
	11:53pm Eddy in Australia: ^^^ What he said! Good times indeed.
	11:53pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: But I recorded them on ultra el-cheap bootleg audio cassettes my dad would get from whatever store he bought discount stuff from. Like the place that sold 4 packs of Everready batteries with the cat on them before they started leaking and junk. Worked for my needs but never lasted. And yeah, “Save it for Later” is an ace song.
	11:56pm Eddy in Australia: Forget it, Jake, it's AnalogTown.
	11:57pm JakeGould: If I recall correctly I believe Mary Wing played a fairly awesome set of “Save it for Later” covers a while back.
	11:57pm Bronwyn Bishop: Loved the Public Image Ltd and the AC/DC!
	11:57pm coelacanth: "realistic c-120" (radio shack brand) 3-pack for about 5 bucks. that's what i used- until i realised that even at that price it wasn't worth it.
	11:57pm efd: Thanks for listening everyone! Remember - next week it's the Holiday Music Funktacular, and then in three weeks it's my best of 2015!
	11:58pm efd: cool, thanks Bronwyn!
	11:59pm coelacanth: Thanks Evan! 'till then,people.
	11:59pm Danne D: Thanks for another great show always Evan :) Have a great night everyone :D
	12:00am Danne D: Next Week - Hanson!
	12:00am JakeGould: Goodnight EFD!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 9, 2015

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!

December 9, 2015: it's the last regular show of the year! yes, already!
