	9:38pm Danne D: The First Annual Evan Funk Davies WFMU Record Library Treasure Hunt Extravaganza :)
	9:48pm Danne D: wow Scherzer with 20 k's tonight!
	9:48pm Danne D: Oops NASCAR Bullstuff
	9:48pm efd: I just got that alert too! :)
	9:51pm Damne D: Gotta label that somg for the curseword EFD
	9:52pm herb.nyc: hey all. greeeeeat evening for me so far ("great" said like Tony the Tiger), bec the music EFD is playing is just great (which reminds me, where is my DUST cd?). if if if possible, some new CHILLS? and earlier, i saw DAVE HILL do his in-store. and of course it was funny & shredding & erotic; ie, great. he nicely signed the book i had, which was a library copy. i mean, after all, we the taxpayers own it! (what's with Scherzer and $20,000? sorry, bad joke.)
	9:54pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: Where did you see him? McNally-Jackson? Or BookCourt? Was at BookCourt! And sweet move on the library copy getting signed!
	9:55pm herb.nyc: wow, this song is very Dad Forster-y sounding. and back to Dave Hill reading: he mentioned "import / export" and it instantly made me think of Go-B song with lyric "her father works in export but that's of no import at all, i don't mind"
	9:56pm herb.nyc: @JakeG - i was at McNally J. surprisingly, it wasn't overflowing with people. but we made enough noise.
	9:58pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: Yeah, there were so many groupies at BookCourt it was insane. Had to call in extra Hell’s Angels.
	9:59pm JakeGould: This M83 sounds like “Community Bulletin Board” background music.
	10:03pm Alejandroool: I always wonder how they got that part to feel so darn punchy "Feeeeeeeels so good"
	10:03pm herb.nyc: as EFD has his social media bullhorn, i'ma gonna shill for THE BIG TAKEOVER magazine. (may i? ok, i don't hear any objections.) i brought over the mags to Other Music for sale, so the store's closing hurts a little extra for us. and a new issue will come out in a day or 2, literally. SAVAGES are on the cover. there's a good chance editor / publisher JACK RABID will be at the CHILLS shows in bklyn and Monty Hall. and he'll have copies for sale. so won't you? he's at <bigtakeover.com>. excuse the product placement. thank you.
	10:09pm efd: thanks for the info, Herb. @Alejandroool, some ace production on those Zombies records for sure.
	10:09pm Scraps deSelby: h'lo E"F"D, h'lo people people so many people
	10:09pm JakeGould: This “Million Dollar Ecstasy” sounds great!
	10:10pm Jeff from Rahway: Damn this is funky!
	10:11pm Alejandroool: Been enjoying this comp, it's got some great tracks!
	10:13pm Jeff from Rahway: That tune should have gone out to the striking Verizon workers.
	10:14pm herb.nyc: since JakeG mentioned Hell's Angels, it made me think of Altamont, and now i'd like to hear "baseball altamont". may we, EFD? if not, i'll live (last 2 words said like a jewish grandmother).
	10:15pm coelacanth: hi efd and funksters -i'm here to see, and hear, the songs...as they're playing!
	10:16pm herb.nyc: here's a Goon Sax cover band: Good Sex. (well, i like it.)
	10:16pm Scraps deSelby: My rehab place wi-fi went down, right when Evan Funk Davies went up. Grrrrrrr, he added.
	10:18pm herb.nyc: i once mentioned "that dj, NO CHANGE" to Liz Berg; she promptly korrected me.
	10:20pm Alejandroool: Goon Sacs
	10:22pm geezerette: @Alejandroool: "Goon Sacs" :D!
	10:25pm Danne D: CARS! :)
	10:26pm Bootsie: Luv The Cars! :-)
	10:26pm Alejandroool: hehe geezerette that's what I thought it was before I looked at the playlist
	10:26pm Danne D: Damne D above was a total mistake but given the message a wonderfully appropriate one :)
	10:27pm geezerette: best Cars song !
	10:27pm JakeGould: CARS!
	10:29pm Stevel: I could listen to the first Cars album quite often.
	10:29pm JakeGould: The Cars first LP was/is amazing.
	10:30pm efd: It's very hard to not be hearing "Bye Bye Love" right now.
	10:30pm Joe stalvey: Sox cheer and the Cars. Yay!
	10:30pm herb.nyc: we played a lot of THE CARS in college. along with SUPERTRAMP's "breakfast in america" and MEATLOAF's "bat out of hell" and BOZ SCAGGS "silk degrees" and...
	10:31pm Danne D: @efd agreed one of the great rolls into the next song
	10:31pm coelacanth: agree with all the cars' first album adoration. (and only the first album!)
	10:34pm Bootsie: The first four for me.
	10:34pm JakeGould: Well, “Candy-O” is pretty great as well.
	10:36pm Scraps deSelby: I love the first/second transition, and "Bye Bye Love" is my favorite Cars song; so when "You're All I've Got Tonight" is played and not follow with "Bye Bye Love", I'm vaguely disappointed. (That's my disappointment, not anyone else's, of course.)
	10:37pm coelacanth: okay, i concede. i've looked at the track listing and, if i skip all the Orr songs, candy-o is definitely good.
	10:37pm Scraps deSelby: Ha! I just read efd's comment
	10:38pm coelacanth: (and that's only 3 songs)
	10:40pm herb.nyc: neat, THE INCREDIBLE KIDDA BAND is getting lotsa airplay on wfmu.
	10:40pm Scraps deSelby: And Danne D comment!
	10:41pm coelacanth: ...ha! i take that back too! i'll just say if i skip "let's go" and 2 others i like the album.
	10:42pm Scraps deSelby: The first album was reissued with a second cd with most of the demos. That was several years ago (I have it).
	10:43pm JakeGould: This box set seems to be Elektra just vomiting “The Cars” catalog in yet another box set. www.facebook.com...
	10:44pm coelacanth: no it's just one with a nosebleed.
	10:44pm Scraps deSelby: But "Let's Go" is great! (Well, to me....)
	10:47pm coelacanth: 'sorry! not my taste, that's all.
	10:48pm efd: oh good to know, coel! I'm glad my nosebleed fears were unfounded.
	10:48pm Scraps deSelby: Specifically, I love Bye Bye Love for the chorus with three drum fills that is so, so awesome.
	10:49pm coelacanth: "dangerous type" and "double life" are my 2 favorites from "candy-o", i think....and "it's all i can do" is a Benjamin Orr song, so nothing against him.
	10:50pm Scraps deSelby: "Dangerous Type" is my second favorite Cars song.
	10:53pm Scraps deSelby: Even Panorama has "Touch and Go"
	10:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: The model on the cover of Candy-O is Candy Moore.
	10:58pm geezerette: Was it done by Vargas?
	10:58pm coelacanth: if i have that album, Scraps, i promptly forgot about it; but more likely i've never heard it. i do have the 4th album and i never liked it...though nostalgia might find me enjoying the title track at some point. -very catchy!
	11:00pm JakeGould: @Ken: Oh, barf!
	11:01pm coelacanth: yes, vargas.
	11:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: @geezerette - Yes, Alberto Vargas, who painted pin-ups in the 40s. He came out of retirement for the Cars' cover. Furthermore, Candy Moore is from Maplewood, NJ. All this info courtesy of Wikipedia.
	11:04pm geezerette: Thanks guys,it's a great cover. Best things about vinyl are covers and liner notes!
	11:05pm coelacanth: oh. i got my info by looking at the album cover....for a long,long time!
	11:09pm JakeGould: I hear the lady who was on the cover of the first Cars LP was named Drivah D. Cars.
	11:10pm JakeGould: ducks
	11:12pm geezerette: Hey there was a singer in L.A. who called herself Dinah Cancer. Also a DJ named Tequila Mockingbird.
	11:13pm Scraps deSelby: (Actually, coelacanth, when I say "even Panorama has Touch and Go", I wouldn't say you should buy it. Probably it's only has Touch and Go.) (My language is bad tonight....)
	11:15pm Scraps deSelby: Bow! Bow! bow bow bow bow bow, Bow! Bow!
	11:16pm steve: oh yes this will do
	11:18pm Scraps deSelby: Hookworms?? That's.... kinda awful band name.
	11:23pm coelacanth: i might be more open to it now actually, Scraps. at the time the 1st album was fresh and new. when the 2nd one came i thought "oh more of this..." so i stopped paying attention. (i don't know how i ended up with the 4th album.) ...there was too much Amazing music in 1979 to focus on anything recycled for very long.
	11:24pm coelacanth: Thank you Evan.
	11:30pm efd: my pleasure, coel.
	11:30pm efd: Also I'll belatedly add that I always liked "Gimme Some Slack" from Panorama.
	11:31pm geezerette: Evan, forget your records whenever you want. Still good. :D
	11:31pm JakeGould: Pretty much 90% done and for a show where you winged it, you did a fine job dear sir!
	11:32pm efd: thanks geezerette! and Jake! I wung it alright!
	11:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: No records, no problem. I would've been all like "Oh, barf!" if it had happened to me.
	11:33pm JakeGould: Oh, barf! He wung it!
	11:33pm coelacanth: i concur with those there comments!
	11:34pm coelacanth: uh, okay, maybe not the last 2, which i don't understand!
	11:35pm efd: yeah I'm not in on those barf jokes either!
	11:36pm JakeGould: @efd: It’s something that Ken said on Faye’s list that I latched onto and will use as an exclamation until I get sick of it. I believe Ken concurs.
	11:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yep
	11:39pm Scraps deSelby: frab is barf backwards that's my only contribution
	11:40pm coelacanth: ...Evan, i'll consider "gimme some slack" and scraps' opinion and give a listen. it's even possible there are gems on "shake it up" that i couldn't appreciate at the time. -i was into punkrock deeply then, but my roots are in pop and rock and i'm still in touch with that.
	11:42pm Scraps deSelby: that's like "PJ Harvey" was the band, not the person. except it was the person. i never understood that.
	11:52pm Scraps deSelby: Ooooh, the chorus is nice
	11:53pm Danne D: Time to pack up :) Thanks for a great show as always - perhaps a new annual tradition? :) Until next time everyone!
	11:53pm bruschotti: yo whats the info for the show tomorrow night dawg
	11:53pm Bootsie: Screaming Tribesmen!!
	11:54pm Bootsie: I saw them at a tiny club in Bedford NY mid '80s sometime...
	11:54pm Scraps deSelby: Very hollow production
	11:55pm Scraps deSelby: Good name.
	11:56pm efd: @Bootsie I saw them at the Cat Club in NYC soon after that album came out... early 89 I think. @bruschotti I don't know what show you're referring to.
	11:56pm JakeGould: @DanneD: For one show every year a WFMU volunteer should just steal a DJs playlist media so they can feel the rush of adrenaline and remember where they came from, right?
	11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: TIL the WFMU record library and new bin has some mighty fine records. Thanks, efd, and have a great week.
	11:58pm Bootsie: @EFD I think it was right after the Date With A Vampire EP came out when I saw them.
	11:58pm bruschotti: the show tomorrow night. venue has a french fry name.
	11:58pm coelacanth: i had a pink floyd bootleg from when "animals" was evolving that sounded like this. i guess it sounded good enough to steal. (someone stole it from the band; then someone stole it from me.)
	11:58pm JakeGould: “The Funs?” Correctamundo!
	12:00am coelacanth: i thought that...only better!
	12:00am coelacanth: Thanks Evan! ciao.

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.

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!

	10:43pm JakeGould: This box set seems to be Elektra just vomiting “The Cars” catalog in yet another box set. www.facebook.com...
	10:44pm coelacanth: no it's just one with a nosebleed.
	10:44pm Scraps deSelby: But "Let's Go" is great! (Well, to me....)
	10:47pm coelacanth: 'sorry! not my taste, that's all.
	10:48pm efd: oh good to know, coel! I'm glad my nosebleed fears were unfounded.
	10:48pm Scraps deSelby: Specifically, I love Bye Bye Love for the chorus with three drum fills that is so, so awesome.
	10:49pm coelacanth: "dangerous type" and "double life" are my 2 favorites from "candy-o", i think....and "it's all i can do" is a Benjamin Orr song, so nothing against him.
	10:50pm Scraps deSelby: "Dangerous Type" is my second favorite Cars song.
	10:53pm Scraps deSelby: Even Panorama has "Touch and Go"
	10:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: The model on the cover of Candy-O is Candy Moore.
	10:58pm geezerette: Was it done by Vargas?
	10:58pm coelacanth: if i have that album, Scraps, i promptly forgot about it; but more likely i've never heard it. i do have the 4th album and i never liked it...though nostalgia might find me enjoying the title track at some point. -very catchy!
	11:00pm JakeGould: @Ken: Oh, barf!
	11:01pm coelacanth: yes, vargas.
	11:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: @geezerette - Yes, Alberto Vargas, who painted pin-ups in the 40s. He came out of retirement for the Cars' cover. Furthermore, Candy Moore is from Maplewood, NJ. All this info courtesy of Wikipedia.
	11:04pm geezerette: Thanks guys,it's a great cover. Best things about vinyl are covers and liner notes!
	11:05pm coelacanth: oh. i got my info by looking at the album cover....for a long,long time!
	11:09pm JakeGould: I hear the lady who was on the cover of the first Cars LP was named Drivah D. Cars.
	11:10pm JakeGould: ducks
	11:12pm geezerette: Hey there was a singer in L.A. who called herself Dinah Cancer. Also a DJ named Tequila Mockingbird.
	11:13pm Scraps deSelby: (Actually, coelacanth, when I say "even Panorama has Touch and Go", I wouldn't say you should buy it. Probably it's only has Touch and Go.) (My language is bad tonight....)
	11:15pm Scraps deSelby: Bow! Bow! bow bow bow bow bow, Bow! Bow!
	11:16pm steve: oh yes this will do
	11:18pm Scraps deSelby: Hookworms?? That's.... kinda awful band name.
	11:23pm coelacanth: i might be more open to it now actually, Scraps. at the time the 1st album was fresh and new. when the 2nd one came i thought "oh more of this..." so i stopped paying attention. (i don't know how i ended up with the 4th album.) ...there was too much Amazing music in 1979 to focus on anything recycled for very long.
	11:24pm coelacanth: Thank you Evan.
	11:30pm efd: my pleasure, coel.
	11:30pm efd: Also I'll belatedly add that I always liked "Gimme Some Slack" from Panorama.
	11:31pm geezerette: Evan, forget your records whenever you want. Still good. :D
	11:31pm JakeGould: Pretty much 90% done and for a show where you winged it, you did a fine job dear sir!
	11:32pm efd: thanks geezerette! and Jake! I wung it alright!
	11:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: No records, no problem. I would've been all like "Oh, barf!" if it had happened to me.
	11:33pm JakeGould: Oh, barf! He wung it!
	11:33pm coelacanth: i concur with those there comments!
	11:34pm coelacanth: uh, okay, maybe not the last 2, which i don't understand!
	11:35pm efd: yeah I'm not in on those barf jokes either!
	11:36pm JakeGould: @efd: It’s something that Ken said on Faye’s list that I latched onto and will use as an exclamation until I get sick of it. I believe Ken concurs.
	11:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yep
	11:39pm Scraps deSelby: frab is barf backwards that's my only contribution
	11:40pm coelacanth: ...Evan, i'll consider "gimme some slack" and scraps' opinion and give a listen. it's even possible there are gems on "shake it up" that i couldn't appreciate at the time. -i was into punkrock deeply then, but my roots are in pop and rock and i'm still in touch with that.
	11:42pm Scraps deSelby: that's like "PJ Harvey" was the band, not the person. except it was the person. i never understood that.
	11:52pm Scraps deSelby: Ooooh, the chorus is nice
	11:53pm Danne D: Time to pack up :) Thanks for a great show as always - perhaps a new annual tradition? :) Until next time everyone!
	11:53pm bruschotti: yo whats the info for the show tomorrow night dawg
	11:53pm Bootsie: Screaming Tribesmen!!
	11:54pm Bootsie: I saw them at a tiny club in Bedford NY mid '80s sometime...
	11:54pm Scraps deSelby: Very hollow production
	11:55pm Scraps deSelby: Good name.
	11:56pm efd: @Bootsie I saw them at the Cat Club in NYC soon after that album came out... early 89 I think. @bruschotti I don't know what show you're referring to.
	11:56pm JakeGould: @DanneD: For one show every year a WFMU volunteer should just steal a DJs playlist media so they can feel the rush of adrenaline and remember where they came from, right?
	11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: TIL the WFMU record library and new bin has some mighty fine records. Thanks, efd, and have a great week.
	11:58pm Bootsie: @EFD I think it was right after the Date With A Vampire EP came out when I saw them.
	11:58pm bruschotti: the show tomorrow night. venue has a french fry name.
	11:58pm coelacanth: i had a pink floyd bootleg from when "animals" was evolving that sounded like this. i guess it sounded good enough to steal. (someone stole it from the band; then someone stole it from me.)
	11:58pm JakeGould: “The Funs?” Correctamundo!
	12:00am coelacanth: i thought that...only better!
	12:00am coelacanth: Thanks Evan! ciao.
