Listener comments!
	9:04pm JakeGould: Woo!
	9:04pm Cal Zone!: EFD GETTING IT RIGHT!
	9:04pm steveL: So right.
	9:04pm Joel: Guilty Pleasure time...
	9:04pm KidProJoe: This is one of my favorite shows every year!
	9:06pm efd: No guilty pleasures, Joel!
	9:06pm Julie M: Ha. I knew this was 1976 because that was a year that I got first-degree sunburn on the back of my legs and couldn't walk for two weeks or so. I was very in tune with the tops of that year. Love it, love it.
	9:08pm Joel: Mr Peabody, put the way back machine on full ahead
	9:09pm Matt Fiveash: Watching the game with the sound off and listening to your show. Working out well so far! 2-0 Sox, bottom of the very eventful 1st inning.
	9:10pm Cal Zone!: Living in a world of make believe!
	9:10pm steveL: Angie Baby with the right amount of crackle. Ummmm.
	9:14pm Andal: Nice bed music.
	9:14pm Alex of Chicago: Always love radio-party-voice Evan.
	9:16pm Glennz_Cat: Variable Speeds?
	9:16pm Jinx: i love Couldn't Get It Right, but can't name a single other CBB track.
	9:18pm efd: @Matt, keep me updated! @Glennz_Cat variable countries!
	9:20pm Glennz_Cat: Stranglers!
	9:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: Stranglers, so great.
	9:23pm Mike Sin: Well, I've got two radios in the house playing this show! Each floor is wired up for EvanFunk45s.
	9:24pm Matt Fiveash: There was a crazy play where Mookie Betts's glove got interfered with by a fan in the process of robbing Altuve of a home run. They reviewed the play and ruled it an out. You'll see it in the highlights but what you probably won't see was the amazing post-ruling reaction shot of an angry Houston fan in a "Reagan/Bush '84" cap...
	9:24pm Matt Fiveash: Anyway, yes will keep you updated! You keep this good mojo going!
	9:25pm JakeGould: @Matt: Wow! Now that is dedication to crappy hat care!!!
	9:26pm Drunken Creep: Definitely glad to be tuning into some classic EFD this evening, where ears take Wings
	9:27pm @radiofreebronx: This brings back memories of 70s AM radio from the backseat of a Dodge Charger to a 7 year old’s ears
	9:27pm Glennz_Cat: Getting game updates on the comment board while listening to efd keeps the anxiety level down. My cardiologist thanks you Matt.
	9:28pm Jinx: Rob Sheffield referred to this song as yacht rock. disagree. great companion to Boz Scagg's "Low Down".
	9:29pm dmart New Mexico: Yay! Such a great thread here. Nicely done!
	9:30pm Tome: yes yes & yes !! < does the Snoopy Dance to the coffee pot /\//\/\/\/\//\
	9:31pm KidProJoe: Always thought this was a Heavy D original
	9:32pm JakeGould: @Jinx: I kinda lost my respect for Rob Sheffield when I saw him parked on a subway bench not waiting for a train, but surrounded by papers, a sandwich and a drink apparently writing? 100% positive it was him. Anyway, I LIKE THIS MIX!!!
	9:32pm Alex of Chicago: Feels like an epic show already.
	9:32pm Matt Fiveash: Houston got 1. End of the 2nd, 2-1 Sox.
	9:34pm JakeGould: “For the muhystereee touhrrr!”
	9:34pm Glennz_Cat: Nice
	9:34pm Barkevious Shabazz: A Beatles cover. By Ambrosia. Impressed.
	9:35pm Barkevious Shabazz: Spaghetti shovel.
	9:36pm Glennz_Cat: Never did see the movie
	9:36pm efd: if you liked that Ambrosia cover you're probably going to want to be here for my Halloween show in two weeks.
	9:37pm Jinx: Jake, to me, yacht rock is a dig. Buffet is Captain of that ship. i hear What the Man Said as a catchy pop-jazz-rock song. with a great bridge!
	9:38pm JakeGould: @efd: Full moon next Wednesday and then Halloween the wednesday following that. Lots of schtickportunity!
	9:38pm JakeGould: @Jinx: I agree.
	9:42pm medson: @efd sounding great
	9:46pm Whosondephone: What a great Reverb he has on that voice.
	9:47pm Matt Fiveash: Benintendi doubles to lead off the 3rd, JD Martinez strikes out, yet another passed ball sends Benintendi to 3rd, Bogaerts singles him home. 3-1 Sox and Houston starter Charlie Morton is out of the game. The simple life ain't so simple!
	9:47pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: First time I’ve ever heard Van Halen on FMU. I’ve actually thought about the fact that I never did and had various theories about it.
	9:48pm JakeGould: I LOVE VAN HALEN!!!!
	9:49pm JakeGould: And for anyone who hasn’t heard it, here’s David Lee Roth’s isolated vocals. It’s that good! www.youtube.com...
	9:49pm Glennz_Cat: Never bought one VH album myself but I loved hearing it on my friend's stereo in his room back in '78
	9:50pm JakeGould: @GlennzCat: And you never inhaled or had sexual relations with that woman, huh?
	9:51pm steveL: Bought Van Halen after hearing Eruption into Running With the Devil in Purple Grape Records in Lakewood Colorado. It was a no-brainer
	9:51pm Glennz_Cat: This reminds me of the Redbone vid I watched last week on youTube. Talk about getting "hooked". I can't get that "Come and get your love" riff outta my head!
	9:51pm Glennz_Cat: @Jake..that is correct, sir.
	9:52pm JakeGould: The thing about “Hooked on a Feeling” is I think I heard it equally on the Coney Island boardwalk back in the day as well as on endless TV commercials as well.
	9:54pm Glennz_Cat: WABC AM DJs loved talking over that "oohga-chucka" too
	9:56pm efd: I'll tell you one thing, they sure knew how to record records back then! This one and VH in particular always sound so good to me.
	9:56pm JakeGould: Production values in the pre digital era always seem better.
	9:57pm Glennz_Cat: @efd, just like the first time I ever heard Boston. You immediately heard the production difference.
	9:58pm Barkevious Shabazz: New England. A Bill Aucoin discovery.
	9:59pm efd: Hey folks, many thanks to all of you who have already pledged to our October Fundraiser, which is currently in progress! I haven't really seen the progress bar over there on the left move since the show started, so if you haven't pledged yet now would be a great time! hit that Pledge Now starburst in the banner at the top left, or go to pledge.wfmu.org... thank you!
	9:59pm @radiofreebronx: Think the beginning of this Don Ray was the opening theme for AWA Wrestling in the late 70s and early 80s
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: YOU CAN'T TALK OVER THIS!
	10:04pm Kat in Chicago: DAMMIT I missed Blue Swede OOGA CHACKA OOGA CHACKA
	10:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: Greasy reverb.
	10:05pm medson: Another toe tapper
	10:05pm JakeGould: @KatinChicago: You also missed Van Halen.
	10:05pm @radiofreebronx: Rocky made it to Number 8 with this one
	10:06pm Julie M: Tie score in the ballgame, and a brain FULL of seventies. What am I going to dream tonight?
	10:06pm P-90: This Rocky is such a love letter to Orbison
	10:07pm Glennz_Cat: @Julie, Buckie Dent?
	10:07pm Matt Fiveash: Now tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 3rd.
	10:08pm Glennz_Cat: *Bucky
	10:08pm Weems: It’s like the Coastline Countdown!
	10:08pm Kat in Chicago: Jake... I'm ok with the Van Halen.
	10:08pm Matt Fiveash: Julie beat me to it.
	10:08pm john: Saints! Now my evening's complete.
	10:09pm Joel: Oh yeah.. We need the professor now
	10:09pm efd: Weems! We missed you last week.
	10:09pm JakeGould: @KatinChicago: Kermit leans back and drinks some brisk iced tea.
	10:10pm Weems: Oh shit, was it NAS era music? I’ll have to pod it
	10:12pm DC: Dig The Saints and Starz track combo
	10:12pm Barkevious Shabazz: Gotta be an Angel 7" in that box.
	10:13pm efd: you would think, Barkevious! but no
	10:14pm Joel: I was just going to ask about Angel.. The world needs more Punky Meadows
	10:16pm efd: I mean, I have Angel singles. I just didn't pull them.
	10:18pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dag.
	10:20pm steve from gberg: is dog a doughnut?
	10:23pm Julie M: Uh oh. Houston takes a 4-1 lead....
	10:23pm efd: BOOOOOO!!!!!
	10:24pm Kat in Chicago: Bamalam!
	10:24pm Glennz_Cat: Whoa!
	10:24pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bloodrock would fit in.
	10:25pm KidProJoe: this is they type of song that rips chunks out of 45s
	10:25pm medson: I would have never guessed that you hadn't played this before
	10:25pm Matt Fiveash: In other news, Joe Kelly, warming in the bullpen, appears to have cut off the mullet.
	10:26pm Uncle Michael: Moon Martin song?
	10:27pm efd: Indeed
	10:28pm efd: @medson I was shocked to discover that myself!
	10:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: This KC has verified swing.
	10:33pm Matt Fiveash: Porcello had a crummy 4th inning which is now mercifully over. 4-3 Houston.
	10:34pm Joel: Oh Yes... Time To Howl
	10:34pm Alex of Chicago: "What about Ram Jam? Pretty cool name, no?"
	10:34pm efd: figured you'd appreciate this one Joel, given your avi image
	10:35pm slowbear: WHAT IS THIS VERSION OF WOLFMAN JACK OMG
	10:35pm slowbear: is that dr john???
	10:36pm Joel: Yes, thanks vm... I was howling along
	10:38pm Spurty: @efd: Your ability to dj and stay active on the board is very impressive (or do you have helpers?).
	10:38pm efd: no helpers! it's all me.
	10:39pm Kat in Chicago: wow Kris's vocal on this is kind of awful!
	10:40pm efd: maybe he's in character??
	10:40pm Kat in Chicago: maybe? I don't recall ever subjecting myself to the actual movie.
	10:41pm Glennz_Cat: Leo Sayer always reminded me of Richard Simmons (or vice versa)
	10:42pm Matt Fiveash: Tied up again 4-4.
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Leo is so underrated.
	10:42pm Kat in Chicago: @Glennz_Cat answers.yahoo.com...
	10:42pm Barkevious Shabazz: Mr. Sayer proved that having a verb ending in 'n was really expecting a lot of people. Especially in mime garb.
	10:44pm Glennz_Cat: Thanks Kat, I thought it was just me.
	10:48pm john: End of the Universe! The hidden gem off Main Course. (Wasn't it '75?)
	10:48pm Julie M: There. What would the seventies be without the Bee Gees?
	10:50pm Uncle Michael: This Tim Moore is so good.
	10:51pm john: So hidden I mistyped it and got spell-corrected into the wrong word. Edge Of The Universe, of Course. Ahh, and it's the live version from Here At Last. (Canadian?) I sit corrected.
	10:52pm Matt_E: Been a really fun show so far
	10:55pm Uncle Michael: Wait...I'm making a note to myself...follow...WFMU...on...Tinder. Got it.
	10:57pm Scraps: Man, I wish I’d got here sooner. I was a child running around buying singles in the seventies. I have at least three fourths of efd singles here. Salute!
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: Lick the decks?
	11:00pm jillydg: Man I loved this (Shakedown) as a youngin'. It still ROCKS!
	11:00pm Matt Fiveash: 5-4 Astros. Joe Kelly not any better without the mullet
	11:00pm Scraps: And I’m friends with Rob Sheffield. Whatever you think about his criticism, he’s a first-class friend, and he’s a really, really, really, really nice guy.
	11:00pm efd: Shakedown Cruise is THE BEST
	11:01pm Kat in Chicago: It was certainly better than I remembered.
	11:01pm efd: dammit, thanks for the update Matt
	11:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: The mighty Sloan also have a Jay Ferguson. Don't know if it's the dude who sounds like .38 Special tho.
	11:02pm jillydg: SO GOOD EFD. I think I have the 45 somewhere.
	11:03pm jillydg: Which Doobie you be?
	11:03pm efd: different Jay Ferguson! Though I found that confusing when I first heard about it. The Jay Ferguson we just heard used to be in Spirit IIRC
	11:04pm Barkevious Shabazz: Stillwater!
	11:05pm Kat in Chicago: I remember Jay Ferguson from Jo Jo Gunne, but the internet says he was in Spirit first, which I didn't realize.
	11:05pm Uncle Michael: YRC
	11:06pm P-90: "The Ferguson Disambiguation"
	11:06pm efd: oh right I forgot about Jo Jo Gunne
	11:07pm efd: Stillwater is one of a handful of Singles Going Seventies must-plays
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: great sequencing in this last set, EFD!
	11:08pm Barkevious Shabazz: Every year. Required.
	11:08pm efd: thank you for noticing and appreciating, Kat!
	11:10pm efd: I think you'll appreciate the capper to this set
	11:11pm Kat in Chicago: OMG literally laughing out loud
	11:11pm Matt Fiveash: JBJ 2-run homer, 6-5 Red Sox!
	11:12pm efd: JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ!
	11:12pm efd: @Kat correct response
	11:14pm Barkevious Shabazz: I'm in You. Unsettlingly titled, and a career momentum killer.
	11:14pm Uncle Michael: Restraint is not sequencing a Frampton track with Mind Bender.
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: yep!
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: that cover was not nearly as lame as it could have been, I'll give it that.
	11:17pm Uncle Michael: OMG! More Richard Burton, please!
	11:17pm Barkevious Shabazz: Michael Quatro?
	11:18pm Kat in Chicago: ermagerd. I'm actually in NYC next week but I'll be back on my couch at home for WOTW.
	11:19pm katie: I've been waiting for the Babys! Thank you Evan.
	11:19pm jillydg: Now I'm going to cry...
	11:20pm efd: hi katie! you're welcome!
	11:20pm efd: Uncle Michael, I'm going to have ALL the Richard Burton
	11:25pm ALiteralWizard: One banger after another
	11:27pm Mert: Took the day off from work (GMT +7) = can listen to EFD Show. Worth it!
	11:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: Pinball.
	11:28pm Kat in Chicago: As in Brian Protheroe?
	11:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: Yep!
	11:29pm efd: you know, I was holding that single in my hand the other day and decided to leave it at home this time
	11:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ach!
	11:29pm Kat in Chicago: there's always next year
	11:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: True.
	11:30pm efd: or sooner!
	11:30pm Barkevious Shabazz: !
	11:38pm Barkevious Shabazz: R. Springfield, Bull Terrier owner.
	11:42pm efd: is there a list that gets passed around? :)
	11:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: It is the key to instant notoriety.
	11:44pm Kat in Chicago: Now this is a must play.
	11:45pm Matt Fiveash: Still 6-5, pitching change for Houston with the bases loaded, 2 outs, and Brock Holt coming up. No time for cocktails, or working on a tan!
	11:46pm efd: haha, thanks Matt. What inning? And what's the Red Sox pitching situation?
	11:46pm Matt Fiveash: top 7th.
	11:47pm Matt Fiveash: Brasier pitched a great 6th, only threw like 9 pitches, so maybe back for 7th.
	11:48pm Alex of Chicago: Someone else played this recently. I liked it then too.
	11:49pm pp: manifesto!
	11:49pm diciassette: Go Red Sox & Dodgers! The last thing we need is a NL team playing for the AL and an AL team playing for the NL in the World Series.
	11:50pm Matt Fiveash: They walked him! 7-5. Moreland pinch hitting, bases loaded, 2 out.
	11:52pm Matt Fiveash: Moreland grounds to 1st. End of the 7th, 7-5 Sox.
	11:52pm efd: looks like i might catch the end while I'm driving home
	11:53pm Matt Fiveash: Looks that way. PS- Great show! And tell Small Change if he wants game updates he can forget it!
	11:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: Peerless program, Mr. EFD.
	11:54pm efd: ha!
	11:54pm efd: (and thanks!)
	11:55pm pp: .-.-.-
	11:57pm efd: @Barkevious thank you!
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: yay!
	11:57pm efd: and thanks to everyone who listened and commented, and thanks especially to those of you who pledged. It's very much appreciated!
	11:57pm Alex of Chicago: One of the best. Into the archives. Thanks again.
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: the harmonies always get me on this one, as well as the lyrical theme
	12:00am Kat in Chicago: thanks efd!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from October 17, 2018

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!

October 17, 2018: SINGLES GOING SEVENTIES vol. VI! Part of our October Fundraiser!

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

It's Singles Going Steady week on WFMU, so tonight I'm starting with the '70s, continuing with the '70s, and ending with the '70s! That's right, it's Singles Going Seventies vol. VI! This is getting to be a regular thing, isn't it. I've pored over my singles collection at home and brought in a mix of forgotten, remembered, and never-were hit singles released from 1970 through 1979 (inclusive)! Get ready for three hours of Top 40 radio from an alternate universe: rock, disco, punk, glam, and more all jumbled together as they should be.

Oh, and also: We're just past the halfway point of our October Fundraiser! I'm super-grateful to everyone who's pledged so far, but I know there are a lot of folks out there who haven't made a pledge yet. You can get t-shirts, DJ premiums, and other swag with your pledge so please take a moment to pledge now!

Thank you!

Listener comments!
	9:04pm JakeGould: Woo!
	9:04pm Cal Zone!: EFD GETTING IT RIGHT!
	9:04pm steveL: So right.
	9:04pm Joel: Guilty Pleasure time...
	9:04pm KidProJoe: This is one of my favorite shows every year!
	9:06pm efd: No guilty pleasures, Joel!
	9:06pm Julie M: Ha. I knew this was 1976 because that was a year that I got first-degree sunburn on the back of my legs and couldn't walk for two weeks or so. I was very in tune with the tops of that year. Love it, love it.
	9:08pm Joel: Mr Peabody, put the way back machine on full ahead
	9:09pm Matt Fiveash: Watching the game with the sound off and listening to your show. Working out well so far! 2-0 Sox, bottom of the very eventful 1st inning.
	9:10pm Cal Zone!: Living in a world of make believe!
	9:10pm steveL: Angie Baby with the right amount of crackle. Ummmm.
	9:14pm Andal: Nice bed music.
	9:14pm Alex of Chicago: Always love radio-party-voice Evan.
	9:16pm Glennz_Cat: Variable Speeds?
	9:16pm Jinx: i love Couldn't Get It Right, but can't name a single other CBB track.
	9:18pm efd: @Matt, keep me updated! @Glennz_Cat variable countries!
	9:20pm Glennz_Cat: Stranglers!
	9:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: Stranglers, so great.
	9:23pm Mike Sin: Well, I've got two radios in the house playing this show! Each floor is wired up for EvanFunk45s.
	9:24pm Matt Fiveash: There was a crazy play where Mookie Betts's glove got interfered with by a fan in the process of robbing Altuve of a home run. They reviewed the play and ruled it an out. You'll see it in the highlights but what you probably won't see was the amazing post-ruling reaction shot of an angry Houston fan in a "Reagan/Bush '84" cap...
	9:24pm Matt Fiveash: Anyway, yes will keep you updated! You keep this good mojo going!
	9:25pm JakeGould: @Matt: Wow! Now that is dedication to crappy hat care!!!
	9:26pm Drunken Creep: Definitely glad to be tuning into some classic EFD this evening, where ears take Wings
	9:27pm @radiofreebronx: This brings back memories of 70s AM radio from the backseat of a Dodge Charger to a 7 year old’s ears
	9:27pm Glennz_Cat: Getting game updates on the comment board while listening to efd keeps the anxiety level down. My cardiologist thanks you Matt.
	9:28pm Jinx: Rob Sheffield referred to this song as yacht rock. disagree. great companion to Boz Scagg's "Low Down".
	9:29pm dmart New Mexico: Yay! Such a great thread here. Nicely done!
	9:30pm Tome: yes yes & yes !! < does the Snoopy Dance to the coffee pot /\//\/\/\/\//\
	9:31pm KidProJoe: Always thought this was a Heavy D original
	9:32pm JakeGould: @Jinx: I kinda lost my respect for Rob Sheffield when I saw him parked on a subway bench not waiting for a train, but surrounded by papers, a sandwich and a drink apparently writing? 100% positive it was him. Anyway, I LIKE THIS MIX!!!
	9:32pm Alex of Chicago: Feels like an epic show already.
	9:32pm Matt Fiveash: Houston got 1. End of the 2nd, 2-1 Sox.
	9:34pm JakeGould: “For the muhystereee touhrrr!”
	9:34pm Glennz_Cat: Nice
	9:34pm Barkevious Shabazz: A Beatles cover. By Ambrosia. Impressed.
	9:35pm Barkevious Shabazz: Spaghetti shovel.
	9:36pm Glennz_Cat: Never did see the movie
	9:36pm efd: if you liked that Ambrosia cover you're probably going to want to be here for my Halloween show in two weeks.
	9:37pm Jinx: Jake, to me, yacht rock is a dig. Buffet is Captain of that ship. i hear What the Man Said as a catchy pop-jazz-rock song. with a great bridge!
	9:38pm JakeGould: @efd: Full moon next Wednesday and then Halloween the wednesday following that. Lots of schtickportunity!
	9:38pm JakeGould: @Jinx: I agree.
	9:42pm medson: @efd sounding great
	9:46pm Whosondephone: What a great Reverb he has on that voice.
	9:47pm Matt Fiveash: Benintendi doubles to lead off the 3rd, JD Martinez strikes out, yet another passed ball sends Benintendi to 3rd, Bogaerts singles him home. 3-1 Sox and Houston starter Charlie Morton is out of the game. The simple life ain't so simple!
	9:47pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: First time I’ve ever heard Van Halen on FMU. I’ve actually thought about the fact that I never did and had various theories about it.
	9:48pm JakeGould: I LOVE VAN HALEN!!!!
	9:49pm JakeGould: And for anyone who hasn’t heard it, here’s David Lee Roth’s isolated vocals. It’s that good! www.youtube.com...
	9:49pm Glennz_Cat: Never bought one VH album myself but I loved hearing it on my friend's stereo in his room back in '78
	9:50pm JakeGould: @GlennzCat: And you never inhaled or had sexual relations with that woman, huh?
	9:51pm steveL: Bought Van Halen after hearing Eruption into Running With the Devil in Purple Grape Records in Lakewood Colorado. It was a no-brainer
	9:51pm Glennz_Cat: This reminds me of the Redbone vid I watched last week on youTube. Talk about getting "hooked". I can't get that "Come and get your love" riff outta my head!
	9:51pm Glennz_Cat: @Jake..that is correct, sir.
	9:52pm JakeGould: The thing about “Hooked on a Feeling” is I think I heard it equally on the Coney Island boardwalk back in the day as well as on endless TV commercials as well.
	9:54pm Glennz_Cat: WABC AM DJs loved talking over that "oohga-chucka" too
	9:56pm efd: I'll tell you one thing, they sure knew how to record records back then! This one and VH in particular always sound so good to me.
	9:56pm JakeGould: Production values in the pre digital era always seem better.
	9:57pm Glennz_Cat: @efd, just like the first time I ever heard Boston. You immediately heard the production difference.
	9:58pm Barkevious Shabazz: New England. A Bill Aucoin discovery.
	9:59pm efd: Hey folks, many thanks to all of you who have already pledged to our October Fundraiser, which is currently in progress! I haven't really seen the progress bar over there on the left move since the show started, so if you haven't pledged yet now would be a great time! hit that Pledge Now starburst in the banner at the top left, or go to pledge.wfmu.org... thank you!
	9:59pm @radiofreebronx: Think the beginning of this Don Ray was the opening theme for AWA Wrestling in the late 70s and early 80s
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: YOU CAN'T TALK OVER THIS!
	10:04pm Kat in Chicago: DAMMIT I missed Blue Swede OOGA CHACKA OOGA CHACKA
	10:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: Greasy reverb.
	10:05pm medson: Another toe tapper
	10:05pm JakeGould: @KatinChicago: You also missed Van Halen.
	10:05pm @radiofreebronx: Rocky made it to Number 8 with this one
	10:06pm Julie M: Tie score in the ballgame, and a brain FULL of seventies. What am I going to dream tonight?
	10:06pm P-90: This Rocky is such a love letter to Orbison
	10:07pm Glennz_Cat: @Julie, Buckie Dent?
	10:07pm Matt Fiveash: Now tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 3rd.
	10:08pm Glennz_Cat: *Bucky
	10:08pm Weems: It’s like the Coastline Countdown!
	10:08pm Kat in Chicago: Jake... I'm ok with the Van Halen.
	10:08pm Matt Fiveash: Julie beat me to it.
	10:08pm john: Saints! Now my evening's complete.
	10:09pm Joel: Oh yeah.. We need the professor now
	10:09pm efd: Weems! We missed you last week.
	10:09pm JakeGould: @KatinChicago: Kermit leans back and drinks some brisk iced tea.
	10:10pm Weems: Oh shit, was it NAS era music? I’ll have to pod it
	10:12pm DC: Dig The Saints and Starz track combo
	10:12pm Barkevious Shabazz: Gotta be an Angel 7" in that box.
	10:13pm efd: you would think, Barkevious! but no
	10:14pm Joel: I was just going to ask about Angel.. The world needs more Punky Meadows
	10:16pm efd: I mean, I have Angel singles. I just didn't pull them.
	10:18pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dag.
	10:20pm steve from gberg: is dog a doughnut?
	10:23pm Julie M: Uh oh. Houston takes a 4-1 lead....
	10:23pm efd: BOOOOOO!!!!!
	10:24pm Kat in Chicago: Bamalam!
	10:24pm Glennz_Cat: Whoa!
	10:24pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bloodrock would fit in.
	10:25pm KidProJoe: this is they type of song that rips chunks out of 45s
	10:25pm medson: I would have never guessed that you hadn't played this before
	10:25pm Matt Fiveash: In other news, Joe Kelly, warming in the bullpen, appears to have cut off the mullet.
	10:26pm Uncle Michael: Moon Martin song?
	10:27pm efd: Indeed
	10:28pm efd: @medson I was shocked to discover that myself!
	10:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: This KC has verified swing.
	10:33pm Matt Fiveash: Porcello had a crummy 4th inning which is now mercifully over. 4-3 Houston.
	10:34pm Joel: Oh Yes... Time To Howl
	10:34pm Alex of Chicago: "What about Ram Jam? Pretty cool name, no?"
	10:34pm efd: figured you'd appreciate this one Joel, given your avi image
	10:35pm slowbear: WHAT IS THIS VERSION OF WOLFMAN JACK OMG
	10:35pm slowbear: is that dr john???
	10:36pm Joel: Yes, thanks vm... I was howling along
	10:38pm Spurty: @efd: Your ability to dj and stay active on the board is very impressive (or do you have helpers?).
	10:38pm efd: no helpers! it's all me.
	10:39pm Kat in Chicago: wow Kris's vocal on this is kind of awful!
	10:40pm efd: maybe he's in character??
	10:40pm Kat in Chicago: maybe? I don't recall ever subjecting myself to the actual movie.
	10:41pm Glennz_Cat: Leo Sayer always reminded me of Richard Simmons (or vice versa)
	10:42pm Matt Fiveash: Tied up again 4-4.
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Leo is so underrated.
	10:42pm Kat in Chicago: @Glennz_Cat answers.yahoo.com...
	10:42pm Barkevious Shabazz: Mr. Sayer proved that having a verb ending in 'n was really expecting a lot of people. Especially in mime garb.
	10:44pm Glennz_Cat: Thanks Kat, I thought it was just me.
	10:48pm john: End of the Universe! The hidden gem off Main Course. (Wasn't it '75?)
	10:48pm Julie M: There. What would the seventies be without the Bee Gees?
	10:50pm Uncle Michael: This Tim Moore is so good.
	10:51pm john: So hidden I mistyped it and got spell-corrected into the wrong word. Edge Of The Universe, of Course. Ahh, and it's the live version from Here At Last. (Canadian?) I sit corrected.
	10:52pm Matt_E: Been a really fun show so far
	10:55pm Uncle Michael: Wait...I'm making a note to myself...follow...WFMU...on...Tinder. Got it.
	10:57pm Scraps: Man, I wish I’d got here sooner. I was a child running around buying singles in the seventies. I have at least three fourths of efd singles here. Salute!
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: Lick the decks?
	11:00pm jillydg: Man I loved this (Shakedown) as a youngin'. It still ROCKS!
	11:00pm Matt Fiveash: 5-4 Astros. Joe Kelly not any better without the mullet
	11:00pm Scraps: And I’m friends with Rob Sheffield. Whatever you think about his criticism, he’s a first-class friend, and he’s a really, really, really, really nice guy.
	11:00pm efd: Shakedown Cruise is THE BEST
	11:01pm Kat in Chicago: It was certainly better than I remembered.
	11:01pm efd: dammit, thanks for the update Matt
	11:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: The mighty Sloan also have a Jay Ferguson. Don't know if it's the dude who sounds like .38 Special tho.
	11:02pm jillydg: SO GOOD EFD. I think I have the 45 somewhere.
	11:03pm jillydg: Which Doobie you be?
	11:03pm efd: different Jay Ferguson! Though I found that confusing when I first heard about it. The Jay Ferguson we just heard used to be in Spirit IIRC
	11:04pm Barkevious Shabazz: Stillwater!
	11:05pm Kat in Chicago: I remember Jay Ferguson from Jo Jo Gunne, but the internet says he was in Spirit first, which I didn't realize.
	11:05pm Uncle Michael: YRC
	11:06pm P-90: "The Ferguson Disambiguation"
	11:06pm efd: oh right I forgot about Jo Jo Gunne
	11:07pm efd: Stillwater is one of a handful of Singles Going Seventies must-plays
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: great sequencing in this last set, EFD!
	11:08pm Barkevious Shabazz: Every year. Required.
	11:08pm efd: thank you for noticing and appreciating, Kat!
	11:10pm efd: I think you'll appreciate the capper to this set
	11:11pm Kat in Chicago: OMG literally laughing out loud
	11:11pm Matt Fiveash: JBJ 2-run homer, 6-5 Red Sox!
	11:12pm efd: JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ! JBJ!
	11:12pm efd: @Kat correct response
	11:14pm Barkevious Shabazz: I'm in You. Unsettlingly titled, and a career momentum killer.
	11:14pm Uncle Michael: Restraint is not sequencing a Frampton track with Mind Bender.
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: yep!
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: that cover was not nearly as lame as it could have been, I'll give it that.
	11:17pm Uncle Michael: OMG! More Richard Burton, please!
	11:17pm Barkevious Shabazz: Michael Quatro?
	11:18pm Kat in Chicago: ermagerd. I'm actually in NYC next week but I'll be back on my couch at home for WOTW.
	11:19pm katie: I've been waiting for the Babys! Thank you Evan.
	11:19pm jillydg: Now I'm going to cry...
	11:20pm efd: hi katie! you're welcome!
	11:20pm efd: Uncle Michael, I'm going to have ALL the Richard Burton
	11:25pm ALiteralWizard: One banger after another
	11:27pm Mert: Took the day off from work (GMT +7) = can listen to EFD Show. Worth it!
	11:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: Pinball.
	11:28pm Kat in Chicago: As in Brian Protheroe?
	11:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: Yep!
	11:29pm efd: you know, I was holding that single in my hand the other day and decided to leave it at home this time
	11:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ach!
	11:29pm Kat in Chicago: there's always next year
	11:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: True.
	11:30pm efd: or sooner!
	11:30pm Barkevious Shabazz: !
	11:38pm Barkevious Shabazz: R. Springfield, Bull Terrier owner.
	11:42pm efd: is there a list that gets passed around? :)
	11:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: It is the key to instant notoriety.
	11:44pm Kat in Chicago: Now this is a must play.
	11:45pm Matt Fiveash: Still 6-5, pitching change for Houston with the bases loaded, 2 outs, and Brock Holt coming up. No time for cocktails, or working on a tan!
	11:46pm efd: haha, thanks Matt. What inning? And what's the Red Sox pitching situation?
	11:46pm Matt Fiveash: top 7th.
	11:47pm Matt Fiveash: Brasier pitched a great 6th, only threw like 9 pitches, so maybe back for 7th.
	11:48pm Alex of Chicago: Someone else played this recently. I liked it then too.
	11:49pm pp: manifesto!
	11:49pm diciassette: Go Red Sox & Dodgers! The last thing we need is a NL team playing for the AL and an AL team playing for the NL in the World Series.
	11:50pm Matt Fiveash: They walked him! 7-5. Moreland pinch hitting, bases loaded, 2 out.
	11:52pm Matt Fiveash: Moreland grounds to 1st. End of the 7th, 7-5 Sox.
	11:52pm efd: looks like i might catch the end while I'm driving home
	11:53pm Matt Fiveash: Looks that way. PS- Great show! And tell Small Change if he wants game updates he can forget it!
	11:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: Peerless program, Mr. EFD.
	11:54pm efd: ha!
	11:54pm efd: (and thanks!)
	11:55pm pp: .-.-.-
	11:57pm efd: @Barkevious thank you!
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: yay!
	11:57pm efd: and thanks to everyone who listened and commented, and thanks especially to those of you who pledged. It's very much appreciated!
	11:57pm Alex of Chicago: One of the best. Into the archives. Thanks again.
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: the harmonies always get me on this one, as well as the lyrical theme
	12:00am Kat in Chicago: thanks efd!
