	9:10pm medson: Hey efd and everyone. Been waiting for this show all day : )
	9:13pm CC: I'm recalling a song about a graduation dress and pouring salt on your tongue and you hung just out of reach???
	9:13pm Dave in SoDak: 1982 pep rally at Lincoln HS in Sioux Falls - our band "Urban Blight" performed "Homicide" and it was loud as fuck. Not only were we never asked to perform again - no band was ever allowed to perform during a pep rally there ever again. (We killed it, pardon the pun).
	9:14pm Kat in Chicago: Nice work, Dave in SoDak!
	9:14pm Bootsie: Goddammit, I missed 999 AND The Polecats??

	9:15pm JakeGould: Mama mia is this yo-yo song suggestive.
	9:17pm Ciggy: 14th Street ~ long time - no hear
	9:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: I love this Sylvain Sylvain! And not just because of the subway intro. BING BONG. It's only because I no longer live in NYC that I miss the subway.
	9:18pm Chuck: Like duh, CC...I Came For You...by Bruuuuccce!!!
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: What's this I hear about cars being banned on 14th Street?
	9:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hey, it made it in the bag.
	9:23pm javakid: Kat - read that - I live on 14th street until a few years ago. Mixed feelings....
	9:23pm Clyde: Enjoying the tunes Evan!
	9:24pm listener 126464: Always a few gems that you thought you had forgotten, thanks EFD
	9:25pm efd: @Clyde thanks! Are you by chance the Clyde who is related to me?
	9:26pm Kat in Chicago: @javakid I worked at 14th and 9th for a while in the mid-90s. As a pedestrian/transit rider I'm curious to check out a less congested 14th next time I visit.
	9:26pm Clyde: i don't think so, but who knows!
	9:28pm javakid: waiting to hear at least one of these - The Producers, The Sinceros, Cowboys International, The Skids or my beloved Comsat Angels.
	9:30pm Ciggy: I 2nd Cowboys International
	9:30pm javakid: @Kat - I lived on east 14th near 1st for 15 years. Now in Texas (don't judge ). I would love it as a pedestrian but the pain-in-the-assness of living on the street without car traffic gotta be real.
	9:31pm efd: @javakid I've got two of those with me (I think), won't make you wait too long
	9:32pm javakid: Evan - that is wonderful to hear.
	9:33pm choggie: two fat person's click click click
	9:35pm Kat in Chicago: @javakid no judgments here, I've met some wonderful Texans!
	9:35pm Aitch: Doing well, enjoying this EFD.
	9:36pm Mister Dobalina: I like this show.
	9:38pm JakeGould: @EFD: How deep into the early 1980s were you at NYU?
	9:39pm efd: only til '82, but I did a couple of comeback shows on WNYU in '83
	9:39pm Dave in SoDak: Pointy Shoes.
	9:41pm Kramrellim: The Wavebreaker theme!
	9:42pm Dave in SoDak: and either What's He Got or I Love Lucy @javakid
	9:42pm JakeGould: @EFD: That was back when I was in JHS. Remember friends talking about NYU’s radio station in the same way as we talk about WLIR. But those kids and friends and relatives in… drumroll “The City.” So we had to heard the second hand — but well respected —stories. Anyway… Always cool!
	9:42pm javakid: What's He Got all the way
	9:42pm Clyde: Silicon Teens is actually just Daniel Miller from Mute, I believe?
	9:42pm efd: well spotted, Kramrellim!
	9:42pm Michael from the Left Coast: I'm pleased that I can still recognize the Sinceros in about five notes
	9:43pm Dave in SoDak: @javakid HELL YES.
	9:43pm Brandon From Rock Island: Thank you Even!
	9:47pm Barkevious Shabazz: 2 PRE artists. Dag.
	9:47pm JakeGould: @Clyce: You are making me wistful of those days before all of those great upper tier indie labels were real stand-alone labels and on a subsidiary of… Well… You know.
	9:49pm medson: Show sounds so good
	9:49pm Bob from poughkeepsie: the Sinceros sound like the Cars
	9:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Clyde. Correct on Miller.
	9:53pm Ciggy: I remember Wavebreaker thru Ed Menje and his work at WBAI & the program, 'Nuff Said (I liked their opening song by The Tearjerkers, Comic book Hero
	9:57pm vertual: I dare you to not sing to the undertones. It's impossible!
	9:57pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Undertones are a goddam hoot.
	9:58pm javakid: John Peel would be proud of this show
	9:58pm JakeGould: @Ciggy: Thanks for reminding me of that show. They still have an active web page and — no disrespect — their design is very early 2000s to say the least. Scroll to the bottom to see what I mean… www.comicbookradioshow.com
	9:58pm efd: well gosh, that's the highest praise there is
	9:58pm efd: folks, a quick reminder that October is our HELLRAISER fundraiser, which is more low key on the air than our big marathon in the spring, but still very much needed! Please take a moment to pledge using the black box at the top left of the page, or via this link: pledge.wfmu.org... thank you!
	10:00pm Dave in SoDak: Movie to rent if you haven't already: Good Vibrations. Story of the release of Teenage Kicks. Also, the US "radio" version of their debut was killer and if you can find it it's worth it.
	10:02pm Chop Scott: EFD!! Bravo--great show and listening as always!
	10:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay, Stag! Excited to see if the playlist will have bedazzled wallpaper.
	10:09pm Clyde: You should play the dub side of that members track during your singles going steady show
	10:10pm Barkevious Shabazz: Loads of sax in this period.
	10:10pm javakid: have all 3 Fingerprinz albums. all top drawer. The Silencers thereafter were fine and all but on the slick side.
	10:10pm Ciggy: Fingerprintz ~ I only know, "Wet Job"
	10:10pm Dave in SoDak: there ya go, efd. i just threw in another one time on top of my monthly thing. you and everyone at fmu are totally worth it. i suggest anyone else in this thread get off their butts and do the same.
	10:11pm Ciggy: ~JakeGould I listened to 'Nuff Said even though I had no interest in comic books or graphic novels. But Ken Gale brought such a passion, professionalism & history to the industry. Great radio!
	10:13pm ron-ji: And to think I avoided Fingerprintz for all these decades because of that stupid spelling. I had no idea what I was missing. This is fantastic
	10:14pm TimC: I was also in college (Stony Brook) in late 70s / early 80s and listened to New Afternoon show whenever I could. The show had a strong influence on my musical tastes. I still have some cassettes of the show taped off the radio. Thanks for doing this each year and bringing back great memories
	10:16pm ron-ji: Also fantastic: this entire set, which absolutely sounds like one I would have heard on a great night on KTRU in Houston or WBNY in Buffalo, circa 1980-86.
	10:18pm Michael from the Left Coast: ministry?
	10:18pm Michael from the Left Coast: what do I win?
	10:18pm Dave in SoDak: blue orchids
	10:18pm javakid: that's work for love Michael
	10:18pm Jim Allen: The answer to the ticket question would have either been Blue Orchids or Electric Guitars, right?
	10:19pm Clyde: @Michael, that's Work For Love
	10:19pm Fuzzy: IDK -- no Bow Wow Wow for me -- drat!
	10:20pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, HP Ken, and all! Mr Belock and I are tuned in on the car radio on the outskirts of Rahway!
	10:22pm Gaylord Fields: efd: Now that you put out the call, I'm raising my hand as a New Afternoon Show stalwart listener (and a fellow matriculator) during your brief yet illustrious run at WNYU.
	10:22pm TimC: I didn’t see that Bow Wow WOW show at the North Stage Theater in Glen Cove, but I did see OMD there around that same time
	10:23pm Fuzzy: Well, alright!
	10:23pm Kat in Chicago: @Michael, you win this hat pbs.twimg.com...
	10:23pm Michael from the Left Coast: well played Clyde, Dave and Javakid!
	10:24pm Dave in SoDak: @TimC that would be an amazing show - Bow Wow Wow and OMD in the early 80s... :-)
	10:25pm listener 126464: listened to New Afternoon Show regularly from Hackensack working at town newspaper
	10:25pm javakid: @Kat - love that hat on multiple levels
	10:26pm Philthy woman: HahaHA! I wish this bow wow wow song was prophetic but seems it’s the opposite
	10:26pm listener 126464: Individuals!
	10:26pm Bootsie: YESSSS!!!
	10:26pm Gaylord Fields: Damn, I guessed The Spizzles! So close...
	10:27pm efd: you win half a ticket, Gaylord!
	10:27pm listener 126464: called in and won first U2 record and Funky Zoo 12"
	10:28pm Bootsie: I was going to cry if you didn't play it.
	10:28pm steveL: Got lucky and saw the Blasters at the same place I saw BWW, Replacements and Husker Du. So much good and different stuff!
	10:30pm Barkevious Shabazz: Same rhythm track-God OD by Meat Beat Manifesto.
	10:33pm phillippe bastille: howdy efd and everyone!
	10:34pm Ciggy: There it is! Thanks Evan.
	10:35pm Dave in SoDak: YES.
	10:35pm javakid: John Leckie produced. love this record.
	10:36pm RobinSays: Genius show tonight Evan! I'm really loving it.
	10:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: polyrock.
	10:37pm Clyde: So good. I wish this show were longer!
	10:37pm Ciggy: I'm looking at The Original Sin album.
	10:39pm javakid: Ciggy - that's the one and I was wrong - lookin' at it too now :)
	10:39pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow EFD listeners
	10:42pm Barkevious Shabazz: Cameo from Midge Ure's friggin' mustache.
	10:43pm sufferwords: spizzenergi just snapped open a memory vortex
	10:44pm efd: @Clyde Longer?! I'm going to be a basket case as it is after three hours of this!
	10:46pm Steve: EFD, here's a New Wave/Punk classic: The Clash - 'The Call Up' !
	10:47pm Barkevious Shabazz: I believe Bullock Brothers.
	10:47pm Dave in SoDak: i know it's there but couldn't find it - the cowboys intl - but i did find another gem from the era - yachts - sos... "look back in love, not in anger..."
	10:48pm efd: @Barkevious not what this record says, but I think their name was... fungible
	10:49pm TimC: @efd You have any Fad Gadget in your magic bag?
	10:49pm efd: for example the cover says "Bollock Brothers" but the record says "Bollocks Brothers"
	10:50pm Barkevious Shabazz: Same Bullock Bothers as Harley David?
	10:50pm efd: no Fad Gadget this time TimC, sorry
	10:50pm Philthy woman: Really digging this show- thanks EFD
	10:50pm efd: I do have some Yachts however...
	10:51pm Dave in SoDak: eeeeeeey!!!
	10:51pm efd: thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Taking advantage of this long song to chime in here briefly, but I'm reading even if I'm not replying!
	10:51pm efd: (and keep those pledges coming!)
	10:54pm bonko: it's like wnyu 1980 in here!
	10:55pm efd: THAT'S THE IDEA!!
	10:55pm Clyde: EFD, How about Libertine by Utopia?
	10:55pm Dave in SoDak: f'ing brilliant...
	10:55pm Steve: EFD, any Clash from 1980 ?
	10:57pm Steve: Yachting Type
	10:57pm phillippe bastille: yay!!!! Yachts! thanks EFD!
	10:58pm Steve: Suburban Lawns, anyone ?!
	10:59pm steveL: Yachts: Best obscure Bowie-inspired title.
	10:59pm Ciggy: End of 6. 3 - 1 Dodgers. Strasburg 105 pitches.
	10:59pm efd: except it pre-dates Bowie!
	11:00pm steveL: ...unless I don’t know the story. (Heading to the archives. )
	11:00pm efd: thanks Ciggy, was wondering about that
	11:00pm steveL: See!?
	11:01pm javakid: man - the Records ripped Eddie & The Hot Rods off.
	11:01pm Ciggy: I remember seeing Eddie and the Hot Rods on Uncle Floyd.
	11:01pm phillippe bastille: I dont think Eddie and the Hot Rods really got their due. kind of overlooked imho
	11:01pm steveL: Pretty sharp drumming too
	11:02pm javakid: this "is" Starry Eyes before Starry Eyes
	11:02pm Steve: XTC !
	11:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: More familiar with the version of Do Anything on the That Summer soundtrack.
	11:02pm Bob: Another cool show! While you were at NYU Evan, I was up the street at SVA.....wasn't too many places on the dial that you could hear this music.
	11:05pm sister kitty: Evan were having a big party...we need more viibrators...thanks lov...
	11:05pm Kat in Chicago: As a person who does her radio show in Traktor and plays a lot of 7-8 minute tracks, doing a show with a bunch of 3-minute 7"s sounds utterly exhausting. @Barkevious, I think I still have that LP somewhere.
	11:07pm Dave in SoDak: folks, this rick 12-string power pop thing has haunted me since childhood - i finally broke down and bought a 360/12 and it was boom like she was saying to me, "why did it take you so long?" now i have to re-record half of all of the songs i wrote since 1986. worth it.
	11:07pm Steve: Love The Flying Lizards !
	11:08pm Dave in SoDak: referring to the records and eddie, et al.
	11:09pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Kat When I read of "Eddie's" passing in the Times I discovered that there was an actual That Summer movie and that the subject was really unlikely.
	11:10pm medson: The pic of Joe Strummer in the WFMU kitchen is one of my favorite things
	11:13pm efd: Mine too. And, to clarify, the picture of Joe Strummer in the WFMU kitchen is of Joe Strummer in the WFMU kitchen. :)
	11:14pm medson: Yes efd Thanks for clarifying : )
	11:15pm Steve: EFD, what was the occasion that Joe Strummer visited WFMU's Kitchen ?
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: @Barkevious it's confusing when you look it up, because there's also a movie by that title (minus the exclamation point) about the same sisters that Grey Gardens was about. I finally found info on the right one, which does seem like an odd story en.wikipedia.org...
	11:16pm Barkevious Shabazz: Snatzotex!
	11:18pm Barkevious Shabazz: REV UP is a GREAT record.
	11:18pm Ciggy: Did you find Joe Strummer in the WFMU Kitchen at parties?
	11:21pm steveL: Ooh! Lisa Jane Persky! Loved her Ramones interview and most things about her.
	11:21pm Kat in Chicago: Fleshtones played here in town three days ago, but I didn't find out till after the fact. Glad I caught them a couple of times when I lived in NYC
	11:22pm efd: @Steve he was on Hova's show in the late '90s (? I think)
	11:22pm Clyde: Yeah John Foxx!
	11:23pm steveL: Few better albums than Roman Gods.
	11:23pm medson: Here is a photo of said Strummer photo www.flickr.com...
	11:23pm Steve: Is that show archived to listen to ?
	11:24pm Clyde: the coffee machine joe is using in the photo was immediately retired and put in a glass case, correct?
	11:25pm Steve: Always cool to hear John Foxx!
	11:25pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, medson. It's funny seeing that photo in context (next to a giant cartoon instructional poster for the Heimlich Maneuver)
	11:27pm Clyde: Now you just need someone famous to save a choking person and you can get a photo for the other wall.
	11:27pm medson: This show has earned a favorited star efd
	11:30pm mr d derbridge: tasty
	11:31pm Kat in Chicago: This show has definitely cheered me up after a crummy day!
	11:32pm Ciggy: I remember the afternoon show would feature Theme for Great Cities by Simple Minds. One of My favorites.
	11:32pm mr d derbridge: 7"love
	11:33pm Kat in Chicago: Fried Egg is a pretty good label name
	11:33pm efd: yeah, this is like a prelude to Singles Going Steady week for me! Glad to have brought some cheer, Kat!
	11:34pm ron-ji: Easily the best two and a half hours (& counting) of radio I have heard in a long, long time. Fascinating mix of stuff I haven’t heard since 1985 and things I have never heard but instantly enjoy. Thank you so much!
	11:34pm Kat in Chicago: Yay the Heaven Seventeen
	11:35pm johnk77: excellent show selecter simple minds= pimply behinds
	11:38pm Ciggy: Dub version
	11:40pm Motobro: Lawn chairs are everywhere, in my mind....
	11:41pm medson: Catch you next week Evan see ya everyone
	11:41pm Kat in Chicago: Swag for Life is the way to go, starts at $10/mo and is super painless. Highly recommended.
	11:43pm Motobro: EFD, New Afternoon show and Noise the Show along with FMU were my HS into college sound track. Thank you.
	11:46pm Motobro: There was one other influential show during the early to mid 80s, The Decline and Fall on WPRB, it was a late night show. Anyone ever hear it?
	11:47pm mr d derbridge: Loving this show all the way from Toronto
	11:48pm Ciggy: L. A. Put in Kershaw. You can guess the rest.
	11:48pm anne: excellent show!!
	11:48pm anne: any listeners in Idaho?
	11:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: I listened to Decline and Fall. And Thanks fer Sharin'!
	11:49pm Kat in Chicago: "Lawn Chairs" is such a prototypical "new wave" track both musically and lyrically
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Aww, the db's
	11:52pm Ciggy: French version?
	11:52pm Kat in Chicago: Evan, did you say Ursula 1000 is up next?
	11:53pm efd: yep, he's here right now!
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Oh nice!
	11:54pm Clyde: Awesome show! Really enjoyed it. Of course now I'm so amped I won't be able to go to sleep.
	11:55pm Bob: I had such a crush on Clare Grogan. :)
	11:55pm javakid: Clyde - read thee Trouser Press Record Guide until you are out.
	11:56pm Clyde: HA!
	11:56pm Kat in Chicago: Another big punk label, Epic - haha
	11:56pm efd: haha!
	11:58pm efd: this is gonna wrap it up, thanks so much everyone! It's been a blast as usual!
	11:58pm Barkevious Shabazz: Another record that sounds like the aforementioned, and great, God OD.
	11:59pm javakid: great show Evan - ending with APB is the link to my first WLIR listening in '83. Just a few years behind your first shows.
	11:59pm Motobro: “Is Vic There” “I Could Be Happy”... what classics! The New Afternoon show turned me onto all of these great tunes, which in turn I corrupted (turned on, converted) a many Bruce freaks, Dead heads, and even some music-less folks into/ onto new wave and punk rock. Damn APB, another NYU NAS EFD first heard. Thank you EFD !!
	11:59pm Barkevious Shabazz: Killer show EFD.
	11:59pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Evan! Hear ya next week!
	12:00am bbob: Amazing show....thank you for the Altered Images track!
	12:00am Ciggy: APB & EFD ~ FUNK
	8:10am Cal Zone!: Greatly enjoyed the archive of the show a few days later! Evan, I've been listening to you since the beginning! Nearly a 40 year Love Cascade! ;)

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 9, 2019: Annual Punk/Post-punk/Power Pop/New Wave college radio daze Throwback Show! part of our HELLRAISER FUNDRAISER!

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

It's my second show of WFMU's HELLRAISER fundraiser, and once again it's time for me to attempt to recapture my misspent youth and present a reasonable facsimile of my college radio days across the river on WNYU’s New Afternoon Show almost 40 (!!!) years ago. All vinyl, all mine, all from the late ‘70s-early ‘80s, 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!

And while you're listening please take a moment to show your appreciation for WFMU and my show by making a pledge! If you've already pledged, THANK YOU! Your support is greatly appreciated.

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.!

	9:04pm efd: oh that was Matt Fiveash on with Becky, Chas!
	9:04pm javakid: polecats - yes please.
	9:06pm CC: my bad... I thought he said he was on next... I should have known it couldn't be you... sorry Evan!!!
	9:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey EFD! I'm psyched for this show. It's a good night for power pop.
	9:07pm Chuck: Too groovy man!!!
	9:08pm Kat in Chicago: The hits just keep on coming. Hope my neighbors enjoy me singing along with "Homicide"
	9:08pm Julie: woohoo best show of the year
	9:10pm medson: Hey efd and everyone. Been waiting for this show all day : )
	9:13pm CC: I'm recalling a song about a graduation dress and pouring salt on your tongue and you hung just out of reach???
	9:13pm Dave in SoDak: 1982 pep rally at Lincoln HS in Sioux Falls - our band "Urban Blight" performed "Homicide" and it was loud as fuck. Not only were we never asked to perform again - no band was ever allowed to perform during a pep rally there ever again. (We killed it, pardon the pun).
	9:14pm Kat in Chicago: Nice work, Dave in SoDak!
	9:14pm Bootsie: Goddammit, I missed 999 AND The Polecats??
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: Wow I've never heard this winga ding dong one
	9:15pm Barkevious Shabazz: Is this the annual Manicured Noise show?
	9:15pm JakeGould: Mama mia is this yo-yo song suggestive.
	9:17pm Ciggy: 14th Street ~ long time - no hear
	9:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: I love this Sylvain Sylvain! And not just because of the subway intro. BING BONG. It's only because I no longer live in NYC that I miss the subway.
	9:18pm Chuck: Like duh, CC...I Came For You...by Bruuuuccce!!!
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: What's this I hear about cars being banned on 14th Street?
	9:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hey, it made it in the bag.
	9:23pm javakid: Kat - read that - I live on 14th street until a few years ago. Mixed feelings....
	9:23pm Clyde: Enjoying the tunes Evan!
	9:24pm listener 126464: Always a few gems that you thought you had forgotten, thanks EFD
	9:25pm efd: @Clyde thanks! Are you by chance the Clyde who is related to me?
	9:26pm Kat in Chicago: @javakid I worked at 14th and 9th for a while in the mid-90s. As a pedestrian/transit rider I'm curious to check out a less congested 14th next time I visit.
	9:26pm Clyde: i don't think so, but who knows!
	9:28pm javakid: waiting to hear at least one of these - The Producers, The Sinceros, Cowboys International, The Skids or my beloved Comsat Angels.
	9:30pm Ciggy: I 2nd Cowboys International
	9:30pm javakid: @Kat - I lived on east 14th near 1st for 15 years. Now in Texas (don't judge ). I would love it as a pedestrian but the pain-in-the-assness of living on the street without car traffic gotta be real.
	9:31pm efd: @javakid I've got two of those with me (I think), won't make you wait too long
	9:32pm javakid: Evan - that is wonderful to hear.
	9:33pm choggie: two fat person's click click click
	9:35pm Kat in Chicago: @javakid no judgments here, I've met some wonderful Texans!
	9:35pm Aitch: Doing well, enjoying this EFD.
	9:36pm Mister Dobalina: I like this show.
	9:38pm JakeGould: @EFD: How deep into the early 1980s were you at NYU?
	9:39pm efd: only til '82, but I did a couple of comeback shows on WNYU in '83
	9:39pm Dave in SoDak: Pointy Shoes.
	9:41pm Kramrellim: The Wavebreaker theme!
	9:42pm Dave in SoDak: and either What's He Got or I Love Lucy @javakid
	9:42pm JakeGould: @EFD: That was back when I was in JHS. Remember friends talking about NYU’s radio station in the same way as we talk about WLIR. But those kids and friends and relatives in… drumroll “The City.” So we had to heard the second hand — but well respected —stories. Anyway… Always cool!
	9:42pm javakid: What's He Got all the way
	9:42pm Clyde: Silicon Teens is actually just Daniel Miller from Mute, I believe?
	9:42pm efd: well spotted, Kramrellim!
	9:42pm Michael from the Left Coast: I'm pleased that I can still recognize the Sinceros in about five notes
	9:43pm Dave in SoDak: @javakid HELL YES.
	9:43pm Brandon From Rock Island: Thank you Even!
	9:47pm Barkevious Shabazz: 2 PRE artists. Dag.
	9:47pm JakeGould: @Clyce: You are making me wistful of those days before all of those great upper tier indie labels were real stand-alone labels and on a subsidiary of… Well… You know.
	9:49pm medson: Show sounds so good
	9:49pm Bob from poughkeepsie: the Sinceros sound like the Cars
	9:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Clyde. Correct on Miller.
	9:53pm Ciggy: I remember Wavebreaker thru Ed Menje and his work at WBAI & the program, 'Nuff Said (I liked their opening song by The Tearjerkers, Comic book Hero
	9:57pm vertual: I dare you to not sing to the undertones. It's impossible!
	9:57pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Undertones are a goddam hoot.
	9:58pm javakid: John Peel would be proud of this show
	9:58pm JakeGould: @Ciggy: Thanks for reminding me of that show. They still have an active web page and — no disrespect — their design is very early 2000s to say the least. Scroll to the bottom to see what I mean… www.comicbookradioshow.com
	9:58pm efd: well gosh, that's the highest praise there is
	9:58pm efd: folks, a quick reminder that October is our HELLRAISER fundraiser, which is more low key on the air than our big marathon in the spring, but still very much needed! Please take a moment to pledge using the black box at the top left of the page, or via this link: pledge.wfmu.org... thank you!
	10:00pm Dave in SoDak: Movie to rent if you haven't already: Good Vibrations. Story of the release of Teenage Kicks. Also, the US "radio" version of their debut was killer and if you can find it it's worth it.
	10:02pm Chop Scott: EFD!! Bravo--great show and listening as always!
	10:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay, Stag! Excited to see if the playlist will have bedazzled wallpaper.
	10:09pm Clyde: You should play the dub side of that members track during your singles going steady show
	10:10pm Barkevious Shabazz: Loads of sax in this period.
	10:10pm javakid: have all 3 Fingerprinz albums. all top drawer. The Silencers thereafter were fine and all but on the slick side.
	10:10pm Ciggy: Fingerprintz ~ I only know, "Wet Job"
	10:10pm Dave in SoDak: there ya go, efd. i just threw in another one time on top of my monthly thing. you and everyone at fmu are totally worth it. i suggest anyone else in this thread get off their butts and do the same.
	10:11pm Ciggy: ~JakeGould I listened to 'Nuff Said even though I had no interest in comic books or graphic novels. But Ken Gale brought such a passion, professionalism & history to the industry. Great radio!
	10:13pm ron-ji: And to think I avoided Fingerprintz for all these decades because of that stupid spelling. I had no idea what I was missing. This is fantastic
	10:14pm TimC: I was also in college (Stony Brook) in late 70s / early 80s and listened to New Afternoon show whenever I could. The show had a strong influence on my musical tastes. I still have some cassettes of the show taped off the radio. Thanks for doing this each year and bringing back great memories
	10:16pm ron-ji: Also fantastic: this entire set, which absolutely sounds like one I would have heard on a great night on KTRU in Houston or WBNY in Buffalo, circa 1980-86.
	10:18pm Michael from the Left Coast: ministry?
	10:18pm Michael from the Left Coast: what do I win?
	10:18pm Dave in SoDak: blue orchids
	10:18pm javakid: that's work for love Michael
	10:18pm Jim Allen: The answer to the ticket question would have either been Blue Orchids or Electric Guitars, right?
	10:19pm Clyde: @Michael, that's Work For Love
	10:19pm Fuzzy: IDK -- no Bow Wow Wow for me -- drat!
	10:20pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, HP Ken, and all! Mr Belock and I are tuned in on the car radio on the outskirts of Rahway!
	10:22pm Gaylord Fields: efd: Now that you put out the call, I'm raising my hand as a New Afternoon Show stalwart listener (and a fellow matriculator) during your brief yet illustrious run at WNYU.
	10:22pm TimC: I didn’t see that Bow Wow WOW show at the North Stage Theater in Glen Cove, but I did see OMD there around that same time
	10:23pm Fuzzy: Well, alright!
	10:23pm Kat in Chicago: @Michael, you win this hat pbs.twimg.com...
	10:23pm Michael from the Left Coast: well played Clyde, Dave and Javakid!
	10:24pm Dave in SoDak: @TimC that would be an amazing show - Bow Wow Wow and OMD in the early 80s... :-)
	10:25pm listener 126464: listened to New Afternoon Show regularly from Hackensack working at town newspaper
	10:25pm javakid: @Kat - love that hat on multiple levels
	10:26pm Philthy woman: HahaHA! I wish this bow wow wow song was prophetic but seems it’s the opposite
	10:26pm listener 126464: Individuals!
	10:26pm Bootsie: YESSSS!!!
	10:26pm Gaylord Fields: Damn, I guessed The Spizzles! So close...
	10:27pm efd: you win half a ticket, Gaylord!
	10:27pm listener 126464: called in and won first U2 record and Funky Zoo 12"
	10:28pm Bootsie: I was going to cry if you didn't play it.
	10:28pm steveL: Got lucky and saw the Blasters at the same place I saw BWW, Replacements and Husker Du. So much good and different stuff!
	10:30pm Barkevious Shabazz: Same rhythm track-God OD by Meat Beat Manifesto.
	10:33pm phillippe bastille: howdy efd and everyone!
	10:34pm Ciggy: There it is! Thanks Evan.
	10:35pm Dave in SoDak: YES.
	10:35pm javakid: John Leckie produced. love this record.
	10:36pm RobinSays: Genius show tonight Evan! I'm really loving it.
	10:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: polyrock.
	10:37pm Clyde: So good. I wish this show were longer!
	10:37pm Ciggy: I'm looking at The Original Sin album.
	10:39pm javakid: Ciggy - that's the one and I was wrong - lookin' at it too now :)
	10:39pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow EFD listeners
	10:42pm Barkevious Shabazz: Cameo from Midge Ure's friggin' mustache.
	10:43pm sufferwords: spizzenergi just snapped open a memory vortex
	10:44pm efd: @Clyde Longer?! I'm going to be a basket case as it is after three hours of this!
	10:46pm Steve: EFD, here's a New Wave/Punk classic: The Clash - 'The Call Up' !
	10:47pm Barkevious Shabazz: I believe Bullock Brothers.
	10:47pm Dave in SoDak: i know it's there but couldn't find it - the cowboys intl - but i did find another gem from the era - yachts - sos... "look back in love, not in anger..."
	10:48pm efd: @Barkevious not what this record says, but I think their name was... fungible
	10:49pm TimC: @efd You have any Fad Gadget in your magic bag?
	10:49pm efd: for example the cover says "Bollock Brothers" but the record says "Bollocks Brothers"
	10:50pm Barkevious Shabazz: Same Bullock Bothers as Harley David?
	10:50pm efd: no Fad Gadget this time TimC, sorry
	10:50pm Philthy woman: Really digging this show- thanks EFD
	10:50pm efd: I do have some Yachts however...
	10:51pm Dave in SoDak: eeeeeeey!!!
	10:51pm efd: thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Taking advantage of this long song to chime in here briefly, but I'm reading even if I'm not replying!
	10:51pm efd: (and keep those pledges coming!)
	10:54pm bonko: it's like wnyu 1980 in here!
	10:55pm efd: THAT'S THE IDEA!!
	10:55pm Clyde: EFD, How about Libertine by Utopia?
	10:55pm Dave in SoDak: f'ing brilliant...
	10:55pm Steve: EFD, any Clash from 1980 ?
	10:57pm Steve: Yachting Type
	10:57pm phillippe bastille: yay!!!! Yachts! thanks EFD!
	10:58pm Steve: Suburban Lawns, anyone ?!
	10:59pm steveL: Yachts: Best obscure Bowie-inspired title.
	10:59pm Ciggy: End of 6. 3 - 1 Dodgers. Strasburg 105 pitches.
	10:59pm efd: except it pre-dates Bowie!
	11:00pm steveL: ...unless I don’t know the story. (Heading to the archives. )
	11:00pm efd: thanks Ciggy, was wondering about that
	11:00pm steveL: See!?
	11:01pm javakid: man - the Records ripped Eddie & The Hot Rods off.
	11:01pm Ciggy: I remember seeing Eddie and the Hot Rods on Uncle Floyd.
	11:01pm phillippe bastille: I dont think Eddie and the Hot Rods really got their due. kind of overlooked imho
	11:01pm steveL: Pretty sharp drumming too
	11:02pm javakid: this "is" Starry Eyes before Starry Eyes
	11:02pm Steve: XTC !
	11:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: More familiar with the version of Do Anything on the That Summer soundtrack.
	11:02pm Bob: Another cool show! While you were at NYU Evan, I was up the street at SVA.....wasn't too many places on the dial that you could hear this music.
	11:05pm sister kitty: Evan were having a big party...we need more viibrators...thanks lov...
	11:05pm Kat in Chicago: As a person who does her radio show in Traktor and plays a lot of 7-8 minute tracks, doing a show with a bunch of 3-minute 7"s sounds utterly exhausting. @Barkevious, I think I still have that LP somewhere.
	11:07pm Dave in SoDak: folks, this rick 12-string power pop thing has haunted me since childhood - i finally broke down and bought a 360/12 and it was boom like she was saying to me, "why did it take you so long?" now i have to re-record half of all of the songs i wrote since 1986. worth it.
	11:07pm Steve: Love The Flying Lizards !
	11:08pm Dave in SoDak: referring to the records and eddie, et al.
	11:09pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Kat When I read of "Eddie's" passing in the Times I discovered that there was an actual That Summer movie and that the subject was really unlikely.
	11:10pm medson: The pic of Joe Strummer in the WFMU kitchen is one of my favorite things
	11:13pm efd: Mine too. And, to clarify, the picture of Joe Strummer in the WFMU kitchen is of Joe Strummer in the WFMU kitchen. :)
	11:14pm medson: Yes efd Thanks for clarifying : )
	11:15pm Steve: EFD, what was the occasion that Joe Strummer visited WFMU's Kitchen ?
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: @Barkevious it's confusing when you look it up, because there's also a movie by that title (minus the exclamation point) about the same sisters that Grey Gardens was about. I finally found info on the right one, which does seem like an odd story en.wikipedia.org...
	11:16pm Barkevious Shabazz: Snatzotex!
	11:18pm Barkevious Shabazz: REV UP is a GREAT record.
	11:18pm Ciggy: Did you find Joe Strummer in the WFMU Kitchen at parties?
	11:21pm steveL: Ooh! Lisa Jane Persky! Loved her Ramones interview and most things about her.
	11:21pm Kat in Chicago: Fleshtones played here in town three days ago, but I didn't find out till after the fact. Glad I caught them a couple of times when I lived in NYC
	11:22pm efd: @Steve he was on Hova's show in the late '90s (? I think)
	11:22pm Clyde: Yeah John Foxx!
	11:23pm steveL: Few better albums than Roman Gods.
	11:23pm medson: Here is a photo of said Strummer photo www.flickr.com...
	11:23pm Steve: Is that show archived to listen to ?
	11:24pm Clyde: the coffee machine joe is using in the photo was immediately retired and put in a glass case, correct?
	11:25pm Steve: Always cool to hear John Foxx!
	11:25pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, medson. It's funny seeing that photo in context (next to a giant cartoon instructional poster for the Heimlich Maneuver)
	11:27pm Clyde: Now you just need someone famous to save a choking person and you can get a photo for the other wall.
	11:27pm medson: This show has earned a favorited star efd
	11:30pm mr d derbridge: tasty
	11:31pm Kat in Chicago: This show has definitely cheered me up after a crummy day!
	11:32pm Ciggy: I remember the afternoon show would feature Theme for Great Cities by Simple Minds. One of My favorites.
	11:32pm mr d derbridge: 7"love
	11:33pm Kat in Chicago: Fried Egg is a pretty good label name
	11:33pm efd: yeah, this is like a prelude to Singles Going Steady week for me! Glad to have brought some cheer, Kat!
	11:34pm ron-ji: Easily the best two and a half hours (& counting) of radio I have heard in a long, long time. Fascinating mix of stuff I haven’t heard since 1985 and things I have never heard but instantly enjoy. Thank you so much!
	11:34pm Kat in Chicago: Yay the Heaven Seventeen
	11:35pm johnk77: excellent show selecter simple minds= pimply behinds
	11:38pm Ciggy: Dub version
	11:40pm Motobro: Lawn chairs are everywhere, in my mind....
	11:41pm medson: Catch you next week Evan see ya everyone
	11:41pm Kat in Chicago: Swag for Life is the way to go, starts at $10/mo and is super painless. Highly recommended.
	11:43pm Motobro: EFD, New Afternoon show and Noise the Show along with FMU were my HS into college sound track. Thank you.
	11:46pm Motobro: There was one other influential show during the early to mid 80s, The Decline and Fall on WPRB, it was a late night show. Anyone ever hear it?
	11:47pm mr d derbridge: Loving this show all the way from Toronto
	11:48pm Ciggy: L. A. Put in Kershaw. You can guess the rest.
	11:48pm anne: excellent show!!
	11:48pm anne: any listeners in Idaho?
	11:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: I listened to Decline and Fall. And Thanks fer Sharin'!
	11:49pm Kat in Chicago: "Lawn Chairs" is such a prototypical "new wave" track both musically and lyrically
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Aww, the db's
	11:52pm Ciggy: French version?
	11:52pm Kat in Chicago: Evan, did you say Ursula 1000 is up next?
	11:53pm efd: yep, he's here right now!
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Oh nice!
	11:54pm Clyde: Awesome show! Really enjoyed it. Of course now I'm so amped I won't be able to go to sleep.
	11:55pm Bob: I had such a crush on Clare Grogan. :)
	11:55pm javakid: Clyde - read thee Trouser Press Record Guide until you are out.
	11:56pm Clyde: HA!
	11:56pm Kat in Chicago: Another big punk label, Epic - haha
	11:56pm efd: haha!
	11:58pm efd: this is gonna wrap it up, thanks so much everyone! It's been a blast as usual!
	11:58pm Barkevious Shabazz: Another record that sounds like the aforementioned, and great, God OD.
	11:59pm javakid: great show Evan - ending with APB is the link to my first WLIR listening in '83. Just a few years behind your first shows.
	11:59pm Motobro: “Is Vic There” “I Could Be Happy”... what classics! The New Afternoon show turned me onto all of these great tunes, which in turn I corrupted (turned on, converted) a many Bruce freaks, Dead heads, and even some music-less folks into/ onto new wave and punk rock. Damn APB, another NYU NAS EFD first heard. Thank you EFD !!
	11:59pm Barkevious Shabazz: Killer show EFD.
	11:59pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Evan! Hear ya next week!
	12:00am bbob: Amazing show....thank you for the Altered Images track!
	12:00am Ciggy: APB & EFD ~ FUNK
	8:10am Cal Zone!: Greatly enjoyed the archive of the show a few days later! Evan, I've been listening to you since the beginning! Nearly a 40 year Love Cascade! ;)
