good evening all!!!! hi Evan ~ great start tonight. I had no idea that it has been 25 since we lost such an outrageous artist. His shows were a natural high.....I remember them well .....from the Academy of Music in NY.

EFD_Did you ever find the old CDR of the original bed music? I miss it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:41pm
Stevel:

Bark: I too recognize the difference. Not positive I have a preference, but the earlier bed masked American Woman a bit more, somehow, I think.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42pm
efd:

@Barkevious, I haven't found it, but then again I haven't been looking. I think I still have the original .wav file though, maybe I'll re-burn it and alternate between the two.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

I would support that1

We could run book on which bed efd would play on a given night. Just saying.

Saw Lloyd Cole last year. Cool show. I directly pimped efd, and Lloyd recalled enjoying being on the show. Funny guy, dry, dry humor.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:49pm

stay cool out there in Tacoma!

Barkevious, that should be a great show! Tell him Evan "Funk" Davies sent you! :D

That's some crazy drum/bass interplay in T.V. Me.

I just want someone to go up to a band/artist who was on my show and say "hey, Evan 'Funk' Davies sent me!"

That’s a 1" button, “EFD Sent Me!”
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:54pm

I believe I told him I heard him perform and spin on your show and was convinced I needed to see him.

I also mentioned that you were the King of something or other. Can't quite recall.

A+ Stevel, well done.

Apostrophication.

As a ex-copyeditor, I approve no-apostrophes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm

Is that anti-apostrophication?
Avatar 10:31pm

Much misused, and 99% doesn't do any good use.

(I still habitually use them, though. Even when I have to stretch to use them with this ipad "keyboard".)

Yo Evan and rockers. Why does the app offer a video stream of the stalling tape?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:55pm

no idea, Carmichael! Maybe it's a remnant from the video of Dalek performing on Pseu Braun's show earlier tonight.

@Carmichael, you're right about that Eurythmics connection! I didn't realize -- Vic Martin was in both Eurythmics and Rexy.
  11:27pm
Carmichael:

And I recognize this voice. Alex Chilton or Chris Bell?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:33pm
Ike:

@KP, whatever it was, I missed it too. Maybe someone discussed eliminating all apostrophes from English because they're so misused?
  11:37pm
KP:

Ike, we should first eliminate the misusers.
  11:37pm
KP:

And thanks.
  11:42pm

First they came for the apostrophes and I said nothing...
