	9:04pm efd: Thanks for keeping the show alive, Scott!
	9:04pm JakeGould: @efd: Hello! And I look fondly back on that second marathon show you did with Daniel Blumin. Me sitting barely 6 feet away from you… People hugging and drinking and doing all kinds of non-social distancing. That was 2 years ago, right?
	9:05pm Aitch: What EFD said^
	9:05pm Tome: NO place I'd rather be right now just here !<> ! and glad that you all are too !<>!

	9:08pm Corey: Evening EFD and fellow listeners! 3/3 apocalypse mix!
	9:08pm BJ Skaught: No need to play long songs for a bathroom break now, eh?
	9:09pm efd: Not even last night! The bathroom is right next door to my office/studio!
	9:10pm JakeGould: You know what would be cool? All DJs doing remotes taking pictures of themselves recording their shows in their home setup. Optional of course; but hey…
	9:11pm efd: I had no recollection of "Solitary Confinement" being such a long song!
	9:13pm loveless: @Jake Gould EFD posted a picture on Twitter. twitter.com...
	9:15pm JakeGould: @loveless: Cool! Yeah, but more DJs.
	9:16pm brycepunk1: Evan, it is so great to hear your show tonight! Always topical, always awesome. Thank you!
	9:16pm BJ Skaught: Speaking of Billy Idol, I've been really loving Rowland Howard's cover of "White Wedding" on the Teenage Snuff Film reissue
	9:17pm Bill W: yay efd
	9:17pm efd: @Brycepunk It was great to be able to DO my show this week! Thank you for listening!
	9:18pm efd: @BJ, haven't caught that - will have to check it out! Hi Bill W!
	9:18pm dave wuz here: greetings from woburn massachusetts
	9:19pm efd: Woooooburn! Hiya dave!
	9:19pm efd: Side note: I'd forgotten how much I loved The Laureates until I pulled this album out.
	9:21pm efd: sometimes you just gotta go for the obvious tunes...
	9:21pm JakeGould: How many times in a century does one have the opportunity to be on the nose about infectious diseases keeping us all indoors?
	9:22pm efd: @Jake hopefully not more than once!
	9:23pm Figgsrock: @efd Remember how I spoke about another metal show a while ago for April Fools? That seems like a thousand years ago.
	9:23pm BH: wonder if "Alone Again (Naturally)" has seen a random spike in plays
	9:24pm efd: @Figgsrock I know! I was thinking about that this week! Would not have fit the mood at all right now, sadly.
	9:25pm Sid: Adam Schlesinger RIP.
	9:25pm JakeGould: So happy April Fool’s Day is cancelled this year.
	9:25pm Figgsrock: @efd OH MY GOD. I never thought I’d say this, but man this Helen Reddy is cheering me up.
	9:25pm BJ Skaught: Is is this same Ruby who shouldn't take her love to town?
	9:26pm Kat in Chicago in the app: LOL never thought I’d hear Helen Reddy on your show, Evan!
	9:26pm Fuzzy: I sing this chorus every now and then these days!
	9:26pm efd: @Kat desperate times call for desperate measures
	9:27pm efd: @BJ only on Tuesdays
	9:27pm Stevel: Ooh. Fleshtones. THat's an incredible song. Gotta rewind later.
	9:27pm Tome: ShooooooooooooooT no heard this one is like 4 ever but then again that's the wonderful surprises of the EFD show !<>!
	9:27pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Nobody told Matt Fiveash that April Fools was canceled, but it was pretty funny.
	9:28pm Steve from Dunwoody: Pete Thomas on drums!
	9:29pm JakeGould: Matt’s show was a great prank! And in the true spirit. I just don’t want another year of co-wokrers I barely know sending me pics of 128 port USB hubs saying, “Haha!”
	9:30pm Stevel: All hail Scott Williams and the entire Skeleton Crew and the DJs who bring us together! Hang the fuck on, fellas and ladies. We'll ride it out one way or the other! Peach and health.
	9:31pm efd: @Steve from D One of the greats!
	9:31pm efd: ok, here we go! ::clears throat:: (keep an eye on those levels please, Scott!)
	9:32pm BH: waiting for one of these DJs to pretape a show from the future this month
	9:33pm Scott Williams: Levels are actually great, EFD! Excellent job. And thank you again for having me be your fill-in last week!
	9:34pm johnk77: levels good
	9:36pm Figgsrock: @efd, had you said nothing I would say it was live as the mic processing sounds the same over my radio.
	9:37pm johnk77: peace, love... a nick lowe composition a lot of u already know that;>
	9:38pm Steve from Dunwoody: @efd That rat-a-tat sound pierces me. And while I have your attention, may I advance the motto: People people we have to get over before we go under.
	9:39pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and dudes of all genders.
	9:39pm efd: phew! I guess that was ok!
	9:40pm efd: thanks Scott, johnk and Figgs for the good word on the levels/sound!
	9:41pm Steve from Dunwoody: *gotta get over (really...) And almost no one likes listening to themselves.
	9:41pm Crudbringer: Funk, you and the Frow are the two four-letter FMU shows beginning with F that I like the most. These chimes are beyond anything. Namaste, mah nasties.
	9:42pm javakid: tuning in a little late this week. know the show was pre-recorded. so sad to read of the passing of Adam Schlesinger today. Just terrible.
	9:43pm Sid: Indeed. Still in shock.
	9:43pm Crudbringer: and it's dang ol Scotty Dubya* workin the magic levers behind the curtain... I like your show too! and all the not-your-show shows that are yours now because you are the wizard! *Why should you change your name, HE'S the one that SUCKS.
	9:44pm efd: absolutely dreadful news about Adam Schlesinger, and I wish I was live tonight so I could have acknowledged it during the show. Will play a few tunes in his memory next week.
	9:44pm JakeGould: I never associated Scott W with Dubya Doofus. So hey. Respect to Scott and the W.
	9:44pm efd: @Crud thank you! No crud broughten!
	9:46pm javakid: knew you would have EFD. I worked at Atlantic when they were signed - sat in their first A&R's office and listened to the demo buggin out to Radiation Vibe not knowing a member of Ivy (already established) was in FoW.
	9:47pm Crudbringer: this curséd virus is the fuckin pits.
	9:47pm Sid: FOW's "Sick Day" would fit. Probably will next week too.
	9:48pm javakid: @Sid Troubled Times too
	9:50pm patrick321: Hello Evan and listeners on the board. Just want to say thanks Evan for soldiering through despite "it all." What a labor of love. Really fucking admirable.
	9:51pm JakeGould: Ramones’ “Leave Home” wouldn’t work nowadays.
	9:51pm efd: @patrick thanks... a labor of love and survival, really.
	9:52pm Roberto: I'm bumming hard about Adam S. as well. His loss, like Kim Shattuck's last fall, feels very personal.
	9:52pm Crudbringer: Not to mention tomorrow's very special Dave the Spazz. All Woof, and hail the Moo.
	9:52pm Stevel: Oooh. Johnny Jetson.
	9:53pm Aitch: Troubled Times by FoW very nice. That Coat-tailer reminded me of Wings' Jet?
	9:54pm efd: I was unfamiliar with Mr. Jetson, but he recently got in touch and sent some promo downloads. I like it!
	9:55pm Scott Williams: Just you, EFD! Your mic breaks sound just like the in-studio ones. You've got a real nice mic there
	9:56pm Rory: Disinfected clapclapclaps!
	9:56pm Sid: The WFMU processing is handling all these remote broadcasts very well. Sounds great.
	9:57pm Sid: What mic are you using EFD?
	9:57pm Carmichael: You had me at Elliott Easton.
	10:00pm Figgsrock: The social media air horn is somehow comforting.
	10:01pm JakeGould: Wow! The social media airhorn works at home too… How convenient.
	10:01pm spodiodi: aloha and good health on you and your air horns, EFD
	10:02pm efd: My next-door neighbor really does not care for the social media airhorn(s)
	10:02pm spodiodi: probably jealous
	10:02pm JakeGould: Tell them to go back to Russia!
	10:03pm efd: @Sid I've got a Shure SM7b. @Scott ::bats eyelashes:: why thank you, suh!
	10:03pm JakeGould: Get a room… With ample 6 feet of space between the two of you and a basin with soap and water…
	10:03pm Sid: That's what headphones are for, right? To maintain neighbor social distancing. And prevent fisticuffs.
	10:04pm efd: I think I stopped being so obsessive over the mic breaks after that one, sorry to be going on and on about it!
	10:04pm efd: Maybe I've got a cranky headphone cable or something.
	10:06pm Carmichael: Those cracklies are often the plug itself. Or the jack.
	10:07pm efd: Thanks Carm, I'll fiddle with it over the weekend.
	10:11pm Sid: Very nice mic EFD. My workhorse SM-58s have served me well for decades now, but they're not on par with the 7B.
	10:13pm Carmichael: Don’t know why I never ran across early Dream Syndicate. I was in Davis in ‘81 in school, and played casually with Game Theory and The Spydels. Strange.
	10:16pm Carmichael: And this sounds like Marc Bolan.
	10:17pm efd: @Sid I bought it probably 6 or 7 years ago when I had an overly ambitious idea to try to do more interviews from home and it sat idle for quite some time. Then I started using it for my Pop Roxx segments on the morning show each week, and now this, so it's finally paying off!
	10:17pm JakeGould: This sounds quite like T. Rex.
	10:18pm efd: you know that our friends in Stag would only take that as a compliment! (as well they should!!
	10:19pm efd: @Carmichael that does seem odd that you wouldn't have bumped into them!
	10:20pm Sid: I can see Michael Shelley inquiring about this Fox Sisters track for next year's compilation.
	10:28pm jb: being in prison for many years..I struck gold recently and have been listening to the station...since I started cleaning the kitchens after hours...can you play some Merle Haggard for all of us locked up..thanks
	10:29pm Chop Scott: EFD--It's great that you play Nat Freedberg so often--a link to Boston that I totally appreciate!
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: I'm here to get all EF'D-up!
	10:31pm efd: @Chop Scott his post-Upper Crust releases have only made me appreciate his talents even more!
	10:31pm efd: welcome UM!
	10:32pm Scott Williams: thanks for the plug, EFD!
	10:34pm efd: but of course!
	10:36pm Mark Hurst: Sounding great, EFD!
	10:37pm brian: EFD is the best!
	10:38pm efd: thanks Mark, thanks brian!
	10:39pm efd: goddamn crossfader!!
	10:40pm Sid: Disable that crossfader. Unless you're clubbing.
	10:42pm Pedro in Arlington: Beyond awful about Adam S. Hoping the news dorks go beyond Stacy's Mom. Thanks for getting this show together EFD. Don't know what we'd do without WFMU.
	10:42pm efd: I need it for cueing purposes, which I don't usually do when I'm at the station but had to do sometimes here at home. Just not used to it yet.
	10:42pm Stevel: All hail UM and other such heroes of the heartland! efd: Are you getting the hang of working at home? Slowly but surely here. Work is a mental health education nonprofit. We're busy, and previously funded. Blessed. Life is complicated but stable for my family. Happy to be working to connect people with information that can help them cope with what are the weirdest times I've ever experienced.
	10:43pm Sid: Ah, yes. Cueing important.
	10:44pm Uncle Michael: Hiya, Steve.
	10:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, efd! Hey, everyone! Just got off a two-hour vid. conf. with Wake and Bake Glisteners . Pretty fun! How are you doing? I see I missed some good music. That's on me.
	10:46pm efd: @Stevel, first and foremost I feel incredibly fortunate to have a job where I (and most other employees) can pretty seamlessly transition to a work-from-home setup. I know that's not the case for a great number of folks right now. It's been a bit of a challenge so far, but getting there. Biggest issue is just being able to draw the line between work time and home time when you're always at your workplace.
	10:46pm Sam Pocker: home broadcast sounds good Evan!
	10:46pm efd: thanks Sam! Your email caught me at a bad time, sorry for not getting back but I appreciated the check-in!
	10:49pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Yay Eris! I’ve known her for a really long time. She was on my show two years ago, but she wouldn’t let me post the archive because technically it was kind of a mess (ah, college radio).
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Kat!
	10:50pm efd: @Kat I was trying to remember if that was one of your recs when I saw she's from Chicago...?
	10:50pm JakeGould: Disco here. Disco there.
	10:51pm efd: @Handy that Glistener video conference had better be scheduled on a different night than Wednesday the next time!
	10:52pm Stevel: efd: Understood. I'm in my third week working from the dining room table (not optimal, but my wife and son (30-ish) have the two office areas available. (If only I'd refinished the basement...) I often divide my days, leaving some time in the late evening (now, perhaps) to work and think about work (which, oddly enough, can help sometimes.) I've pretty much left work aside for the weekends, not that there's much to do, given still cool and damp weather. Still, we eat together at least once a day, maybe watch something. We can walk around the neighborhood very safely (and the dogs insist!) Glad to see you were able to help out your dad, and to get back home.
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, I will talk to them about it, @efd. But there are no good nights to miss!
	10:53pm efd: @Handy that is true. @Stevel 'twas my Mom, and thanks for the thought.
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Evan - Wasn’t but I’m glad you picked up on that. You played my favorite track. She’s out in New Hampshire right now with her partner, Maya aka Octo Octa.
	10:53pm Stevel: UM: How's Kansas holding up? Indiana is hot around Indianapolis and southeast, but so far [knock, knock] we're running slower in the northeast. Regardless, I'm home, out in public 1-2 times per week maximum.
	10:54pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Hey, Handy!
	10:55pm Handy Haversack: That was groovvin'! Glad to finally find a wizard who knows Hair Magic!
	10:56pm Uncle Michael: I'd say the virus is slow moving here. 18 confirmed cases in my county.
	10:56pm efd: Lots of folks are going to need some hair magic when this is all over!
	10:57pm Kat in Chicago in the app: LOL we were talking about Emergency! yesterday morning on Otis Fodder’s chat board (he played Julie London). That Randy Mantooth song was HILARIOUS.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: I've said it before. There will never be a better time to shave your eyebrows.
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Yes how the hell do those girls know about Randy Mantooth?
	10:58pm PigeonsAndRust: You could have done a seamless transition from that to 'Indiana Wants Me' though R.Deane Taylor doesn't quite fit yer show. Trying to think of other songs that begin and end with sirens now
	11:03pm Stevel: Eyelids, Control Top, so many acts to catch up on.
	11:03pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	11:03pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I had a hair appointment scheduled right before everything shut down. My roots were overdue for attention then, now they’ve grown out so far that I think they look cool.
	11:03pm efd: Very true, Stevel. Hi Phillippe!
	11:04pm Stevel: I watched Emergency EVERY FRIDAY if I recall correctly. Perhaps its why I became a news photographer. Whaddya think, Uncle Michael?
	11:04pm efd: Emergency! (don't forget the exclamation point) was the best! Love that you were talking about it yesterday too, Kat!
	11:05pm Stevel: Kat: My wife says, most days, I look like Larry, Darryl or Darryl, and she's not far off. (Its the layered look) You're rocking it!
	11:05pm spodiodi: i think i had the Emergency! board game... but might be confusing with the lunchbox
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I know, I haven’t thought about that show in decades so that is a weird coincidence.
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: We had all these conflicting emotions between Eyelids waffle concert and the fact that the same day is the NYC Tartan Day Scottish parade, which we march in every year ... and then it all got canceled! So I have been enjoying all the things that have been canceled that I couldn't afford, had a conflict with, or had missed the fact that tix were on sale. Not a good person, but the convenience charge for U.S. Girls was $30!
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: I only watched the Adam-12 crossover episodes.
	11:08pm Uncle Michael: I try not to think, Steve. Who wants to tuck me in? I'll take my answer on the air.
	11:08pm efd: (a leftover "worry" song that I didn't fit in the opening set)
	11:10pm Kat in Chicago in the app: My temp job hours get trimmed to 32 in two weeks and the job itself ends June 30, so I hope I can afford a hair appointment before I look for work again. May just go gray at this point, we’ll see.
	11:10pm P-90: Damn, got pulled away for some trivial nonsense and missed Randy Mantooth.
	11:10pm efd: oh boy, good luck Kat.
	11:11pm Uncle Michael: Night, all. Thanks, Evan.
	11:12pm efd: later UM! Hope to catch you Friday!
	11:12pm Stevel: Night, UM What a jam!
	11:12pm G: Ugh, is this how it's gonna be for the next 2-3 weeks? "NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ellis Marsalis, jazz pianist, teacher and patriarch of a New Orleans musical family that includes famed musician sons Wynton and Branford, has died. He was 85." He seemed to have COVID-like symptoms, but his test hasn't come back yet. Went pretty quickly.
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Thanks, Evan. I paid April rent so I’m doing better than a lot of folks as of this moment.
	11:12pm Uncle Michael: Cool! I'll be having that ex-BCN talent on.
	11:14pm efd: goddamn crossfader part 2!!
	11:14pm Stevel: G: Hang on to your ass. No humor implied. I'm home, thinking good and healing thoughts and hoping for the best.
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I’m worried about a bunch of older musicians that I love, don’t even wanna name their names in case the Reaper is listening in.
	11:14pm efd: oh right, UM, I'll try to be there. Sorry to miss Dan last week but I had too many meetings.
	11:15pm Stevel: Meetings seem more important now, for some reason.
	11:15pm efd: Totally hear you, Kat. It's getting scary.
	11:15pm efd: shouldn't say "getting," really, it's BEEN scary.
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: Heard in this home: "I think one good thing to come out of this virus: we're watching less TV, we're listening to the radio more, we're chatting with Evan Funk Davies!"
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Handy, whoever said that is not wrong. I gave up TV a while ago myself.
	11:20pm efd: ha, excellent quote Handy!
	11:21pm Mike Sin: So, I think this is the first time I’ve listened to WFMU on eight different devices in one week. It’s great that all these dedicated (and unpaid) WFMU DJs such as a EFD are doing all they can to deliver original content.
	11:21pm Clay: EFD I loved that track by The Fast you featured on Pop Roxx! Stay healthy. You sound great!
	11:22pm efd: thanks Clay! Isn't it past your bedtime??
	11:23pm Handy Haversack: We ... watch highly curated, ad-free, not broadcast TV. Our actual TV is used pretty much as a cat bed and for football season. Hey, CLAY!! We had a Glistener video conference! queems, LCBD, Buddha, Daybreak, Drop of Golden Sun, yerfriendpaul, Colleen, Rachel Bo Bachel: much love sent your way!!
	11:24pm efd: Thanks Mike, this is one of those times when everyone involved with the station is going the extra mile to keep it on the air and as live (or plausibly live) as possible.
	11:24pm Clay: No. I sleep by day! Currently editing Michele with One L's "State Showcase" tomorrow featuring your beloved ... Massachusetts! Take care my friend! And your loyal listeners!
	11:24pm Stevel: CLAY!! You are such a comfort, in all times, especially now.
	11:24pm efd: Thanks so much, you night owl!
	11:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: TIL pigeons are nocturnal.
	11:25pm spodiodi: loved the savak (and the album title)
	11:25pm Handy Haversack: KINGZ
	11:27pm Clay: Cool Handy! Tell about it tomorrow on the Accu. Thank you Stevel! Gotta run! Rock on EFD! What would Foghat do?
	11:27pm Steve from Dunwoody: Please slip in a Taxachusetts ref, Clay. It's what they do and they seem to be proud of it. But I am happy with everything you do. All the best!
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: We are both totally stumped on what Foghat would do. Can I phone a friend? That said: FOGHAT!!!
	11:31pm Handy Haversack: Last show we saw (before Everything Stopped Happening) was Control Top and Weeping Icon at Union Pool! What a great band!
	11:32pm Mike Sin: My highlight amid all the recent craziness: Finding the “All the Young Droogs” CD box set online for $9. Deriving happiness from simple diversions in the midst of all the bad news.
	11:33pm efd: wow Mike, that's a steal! Handy, Control Top are the greatest - glad you got to see them!
	11:34pm Handy Haversack: Had nice chats with them, too, @efd. Hell yeah! Wow, this sounds good!
	11:35pm Chop Scott: I wish we could have sent Shure SM7-Bs to everyone! Sounding great Evan.
	11:36pm efd: haha, thank you Scott. Very glad that aspirational purchase is paying dividends now.
	11:36pm Ciggy: Sorry I signed in late. Playlist looks great. I'll listen to the archive. You're the best EFD!
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Shit, Dares! Another great one. Found them through Three Chord Monte.
	11:41pm efd: featuring our own Mario Santana!
	11:43pm Steve: EFD, I've been thinking of The House of Freaks - 'The World of Tomorrow' from their 2nd album 'Tantilla' (1988) on Rhino Records. Remember them and their song?
	11:44pm Stevel: Your post-punk, squonky super-sense is always on track, efd
	11:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah! Chatting with Dares after a set at the Brewery(?) might be the longest talk I have had about FMU in public.
	11:47pm efd: @Steve I have to admit I don't recall that one!
	11:48pm Steve: Apprapro for now, EFD !
	11:48pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I read that as “libertarians with hickeys” at first. Would much rather think about librarians, behickeyed or not.
	11:49pm efd: Haha! Now that would be a band name!
	11:51pm Stevel: Librarians are more likely to have hickeys than libertarians. Just saying.
	11:51pm JakeGould: Man, hickeys! How olde fashioned.
	11:52pm Handy Haversack: I am a bad person. I have done ... questionable things. But I would never give a libertarian a hickey.
	11:55pm Scott Williams: Thanks Evan, really fun show! Very "live"!
	11:56pm spodiodi: thanks, EFD!
	11:57pm Steve: EFD, another relevant song House of Freaks - 'A Whole Lot of Nothing Going On' from their last album 'Invisible Jewel'
	11:57pm efd: Thanks Scott! I think next week I'll be ready for actually live!
	11:57pm Scott Williams: @efd, I'll be here for ya
	11:57pm Handy Haversack: Scott! Shoot! Thanks for BOARD OPS!! Thanks, efd! So nice to be here for it!
	11:58pm efd: Looking forward to it!
	11:58pm efd: Thanks so much everyone for listening, and thanks to those who commented. I'm so grateful and proud to be a part of WFMU.
	11:58pm JakeGould: Thanks EFD!
	11:58pm Handy Haversack: Kingz!
	11:59pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Thank you, Evan! Thank you, Scott!
	1:08am John from CDA: Back when Steve Mack (Stag, TPE) attended the University of Washington, his roommate was MTV's Kevin Seal (120 Minutes).

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!

	9:04pm efd: Thanks for keeping the show alive, Scott!
	9:04pm JakeGould: @efd: Hello! And I look fondly back on that second marathon show you did with Daniel Blumin. Me sitting barely 6 feet away from you… People hugging and drinking and doing all kinds of non-social distancing. That was 2 years ago, right?
	9:05pm Aitch: What EFD said^
	9:05pm Tome: NO place I'd rather be right now just here !<> ! and glad that you all are too !<>!
	9:05pm listener 126464: Super Rock!

	9:08pm Corey: Evening EFD and fellow listeners! 3/3 apocalypse mix!
	9:08pm BJ Skaught: No need to play long songs for a bathroom break now, eh?
	9:09pm efd: Not even last night! The bathroom is right next door to my office/studio!
	9:10pm JakeGould: You know what would be cool? All DJs doing remotes taking pictures of themselves recording their shows in their home setup. Optional of course; but hey…
	9:11pm efd: I had no recollection of "Solitary Confinement" being such a long song!
	9:13pm loveless: @Jake Gould EFD posted a picture on Twitter. twitter.com...
	9:15pm JakeGould: @loveless: Cool! Yeah, but more DJs.
	9:16pm brycepunk1: Evan, it is so great to hear your show tonight! Always topical, always awesome. Thank you!
	9:16pm BJ Skaught: Speaking of Billy Idol, I've been really loving Rowland Howard's cover of "White Wedding" on the Teenage Snuff Film reissue
	9:17pm Bill W: yay efd
	9:17pm efd: @Brycepunk It was great to be able to DO my show this week! Thank you for listening!
	9:18pm efd: @BJ, haven't caught that - will have to check it out! Hi Bill W!
	9:18pm dave wuz here: greetings from woburn massachusetts
	9:19pm efd: Woooooburn! Hiya dave!
	9:19pm efd: Side note: I'd forgotten how much I loved The Laureates until I pulled this album out.
	9:21pm efd: sometimes you just gotta go for the obvious tunes...
	9:21pm JakeGould: How many times in a century does one have the opportunity to be on the nose about infectious diseases keeping us all indoors?
	9:22pm efd: @Jake hopefully not more than once!
	9:23pm Figgsrock: @efd Remember how I spoke about another metal show a while ago for April Fools? That seems like a thousand years ago.
	9:23pm BH: wonder if "Alone Again (Naturally)" has seen a random spike in plays
	9:24pm efd: @Figgsrock I know! I was thinking about that this week! Would not have fit the mood at all right now, sadly.
	9:25pm Sid: Adam Schlesinger RIP.
	9:25pm JakeGould: So happy April Fool’s Day is cancelled this year.
	9:25pm Figgsrock: @efd OH MY GOD. I never thought I’d say this, but man this Helen Reddy is cheering me up.
	9:25pm BJ Skaught: Is is this same Ruby who shouldn't take her love to town?
	9:26pm Kat in Chicago in the app: LOL never thought I’d hear Helen Reddy on your show, Evan!
	9:26pm Fuzzy: I sing this chorus every now and then these days!
	9:26pm efd: @Kat desperate times call for desperate measures
	9:27pm efd: @BJ only on Tuesdays
	9:27pm Stevel: Ooh. Fleshtones. THat's an incredible song. Gotta rewind later.
	9:27pm Tome: ShooooooooooooooT no heard this one is like 4 ever but then again that's the wonderful surprises of the EFD show !<>!
	9:27pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Nobody told Matt Fiveash that April Fools was canceled, but it was pretty funny.
	9:28pm Steve from Dunwoody: Pete Thomas on drums!
	9:29pm JakeGould: Matt’s show was a great prank! And in the true spirit. I just don’t want another year of co-wokrers I barely know sending me pics of 128 port USB hubs saying, “Haha!”
	9:30pm Stevel: All hail Scott Williams and the entire Skeleton Crew and the DJs who bring us together! Hang the fuck on, fellas and ladies. We'll ride it out one way or the other! Peach and health.
	9:31pm efd: @Steve from D One of the greats!
	9:31pm efd: ok, here we go! ::clears throat:: (keep an eye on those levels please, Scott!)
	9:32pm BH: waiting for one of these DJs to pretape a show from the future this month
	9:33pm Scott Williams: Levels are actually great, EFD! Excellent job. And thank you again for having me be your fill-in last week!
	9:34pm johnk77: levels good
	9:36pm Figgsrock: @efd, had you said nothing I would say it was live as the mic processing sounds the same over my radio.
	9:37pm johnk77: peace, love... a nick lowe composition a lot of u already know that;>
	9:38pm Steve from Dunwoody: @efd That rat-a-tat sound pierces me. And while I have your attention, may I advance the motto: People people we have to get over before we go under.
	9:39pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and dudes of all genders.
	9:39pm efd: phew! I guess that was ok!
	9:40pm efd: thanks Scott, johnk and Figgs for the good word on the levels/sound!
	9:41pm Steve from Dunwoody: *gotta get over (really...) And almost no one likes listening to themselves.
	9:41pm Crudbringer: Funk, you and the Frow are the two four-letter FMU shows beginning with F that I like the most. These chimes are beyond anything. Namaste, mah nasties.
	9:42pm javakid: tuning in a little late this week. know the show was pre-recorded. so sad to read of the passing of Adam Schlesinger today. Just terrible.
	9:43pm Sid: Indeed. Still in shock.
	9:43pm Crudbringer: and it's dang ol Scotty Dubya* workin the magic levers behind the curtain... I like your show too! and all the not-your-show shows that are yours now because you are the wizard! *Why should you change your name, HE'S the one that SUCKS.
	9:44pm efd: absolutely dreadful news about Adam Schlesinger, and I wish I was live tonight so I could have acknowledged it during the show. Will play a few tunes in his memory next week.
	9:44pm JakeGould: I never associated Scott W with Dubya Doofus. So hey. Respect to Scott and the W.
	9:44pm efd: @Crud thank you! No crud broughten!
	9:46pm javakid: knew you would have EFD. I worked at Atlantic when they were signed - sat in their first A&R's office and listened to the demo buggin out to Radiation Vibe not knowing a member of Ivy (already established) was in FoW.
	9:47pm Crudbringer: this curséd virus is the fuckin pits.
	9:47pm Sid: FOW's "Sick Day" would fit. Probably will next week too.
	9:48pm javakid: @Sid Troubled Times too
	9:50pm patrick321: Hello Evan and listeners on the board. Just want to say thanks Evan for soldiering through despite "it all." What a labor of love. Really fucking admirable.
	9:51pm JakeGould: Ramones’ “Leave Home” wouldn’t work nowadays.
	9:51pm efd: @patrick thanks... a labor of love and survival, really.
	9:52pm Roberto: I'm bumming hard about Adam S. as well. His loss, like Kim Shattuck's last fall, feels very personal.
	9:52pm Crudbringer: Not to mention tomorrow's very special Dave the Spazz. All Woof, and hail the Moo.
	9:52pm Stevel: Oooh. Johnny Jetson.
	9:53pm Aitch: Troubled Times by FoW very nice. That Coat-tailer reminded me of Wings' Jet?
	9:54pm efd: I was unfamiliar with Mr. Jetson, but he recently got in touch and sent some promo downloads. I like it!
	9:55pm Scott Williams: Just you, EFD! Your mic breaks sound just like the in-studio ones. You've got a real nice mic there
	9:56pm Rory: Disinfected clapclapclaps!
	9:56pm Sid: The WFMU processing is handling all these remote broadcasts very well. Sounds great.
	9:57pm Sid: What mic are you using EFD?
	9:57pm Carmichael: You had me at Elliott Easton.
	10:00pm Figgsrock: The social media air horn is somehow comforting.
	10:01pm JakeGould: Wow! The social media airhorn works at home too… How convenient.
	10:01pm spodiodi: aloha and good health on you and your air horns, EFD
	10:02pm efd: My next-door neighbor really does not care for the social media airhorn(s)
	10:02pm spodiodi: probably jealous
	10:02pm JakeGould: Tell them to go back to Russia!
	10:03pm efd: @Sid I've got a Shure SM7b. @Scott ::bats eyelashes:: why thank you, suh!
	10:03pm JakeGould: Get a room… With ample 6 feet of space between the two of you and a basin with soap and water…
	10:03pm Sid: That's what headphones are for, right? To maintain neighbor social distancing. And prevent fisticuffs.
	10:04pm efd: I think I stopped being so obsessive over the mic breaks after that one, sorry to be going on and on about it!
	10:04pm efd: Maybe I've got a cranky headphone cable or something.
	10:06pm Carmichael: Those cracklies are often the plug itself. Or the jack.
	10:07pm efd: Thanks Carm, I'll fiddle with it over the weekend.
	10:11pm Sid: Very nice mic EFD. My workhorse SM-58s have served me well for decades now, but they're not on par with the 7B.
	10:13pm Carmichael: Don’t know why I never ran across early Dream Syndicate. I was in Davis in ‘81 in school, and played casually with Game Theory and The Spydels. Strange.
	10:16pm Carmichael: And this sounds like Marc Bolan.
	10:17pm efd: @Sid I bought it probably 6 or 7 years ago when I had an overly ambitious idea to try to do more interviews from home and it sat idle for quite some time. Then I started using it for my Pop Roxx segments on the morning show each week, and now this, so it's finally paying off!
	10:17pm JakeGould: This sounds quite like T. Rex.
	10:18pm efd: you know that our friends in Stag would only take that as a compliment! (as well they should!!
	10:19pm efd: @Carmichael that does seem odd that you wouldn't have bumped into them!
	10:20pm Sid: I can see Michael Shelley inquiring about this Fox Sisters track for next year's compilation.
	10:28pm jb: being in prison for many years..I struck gold recently and have been listening to the station...since I started cleaning the kitchens after hours...can you play some Merle Haggard for all of us locked up..thanks
	10:29pm Chop Scott: EFD--It's great that you play Nat Freedberg so often--a link to Boston that I totally appreciate!
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: I'm here to get all EF'D-up!
	10:31pm efd: @Chop Scott his post-Upper Crust releases have only made me appreciate his talents even more!
	10:31pm efd: welcome UM!
	10:32pm Scott Williams: thanks for the plug, EFD!
	10:34pm efd: but of course!
	10:36pm Mark Hurst: Sounding great, EFD!
	10:37pm brian: EFD is the best!
	10:38pm efd: thanks Mark, thanks brian!
	10:39pm efd: goddamn crossfader!!
	10:40pm Sid: Disable that crossfader. Unless you're clubbing.
	10:42pm Pedro in Arlington: Beyond awful about Adam S. Hoping the news dorks go beyond Stacy's Mom. Thanks for getting this show together EFD. Don't know what we'd do without WFMU.
	10:42pm efd: I need it for cueing purposes, which I don't usually do when I'm at the station but had to do sometimes here at home. Just not used to it yet.
	10:42pm Stevel: All hail UM and other such heroes of the heartland! efd: Are you getting the hang of working at home? Slowly but surely here. Work is a mental health education nonprofit. We're busy, and previously funded. Blessed. Life is complicated but stable for my family. Happy to be working to connect people with information that can help them cope with what are the weirdest times I've ever experienced.
	10:43pm Sid: Ah, yes. Cueing important.
	10:44pm Uncle Michael: Hiya, Steve.
	10:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, efd! Hey, everyone! Just got off a two-hour vid. conf. with Wake and Bake Glisteners . Pretty fun! How are you doing? I see I missed some good music. That's on me.
	10:46pm efd: @Stevel, first and foremost I feel incredibly fortunate to have a job where I (and most other employees) can pretty seamlessly transition to a work-from-home setup. I know that's not the case for a great number of folks right now. It's been a bit of a challenge so far, but getting there. Biggest issue is just being able to draw the line between work time and home time when you're always at your workplace.
	10:46pm Sam Pocker: home broadcast sounds good Evan!
	10:46pm efd: thanks Sam! Your email caught me at a bad time, sorry for not getting back but I appreciated the check-in!
	10:49pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Yay Eris! I’ve known her for a really long time. She was on my show two years ago, but she wouldn’t let me post the archive because technically it was kind of a mess (ah, college radio).
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Kat!
	10:50pm efd: @Kat I was trying to remember if that was one of your recs when I saw she's from Chicago...?
	10:50pm JakeGould: Disco here. Disco there.
	10:51pm efd: @Handy that Glistener video conference had better be scheduled on a different night than Wednesday the next time!
	10:52pm Stevel: efd: Understood. I'm in my third week working from the dining room table (not optimal, but my wife and son (30-ish) have the two office areas available. (If only I'd refinished the basement...) I often divide my days, leaving some time in the late evening (now, perhaps) to work and think about work (which, oddly enough, can help sometimes.) I've pretty much left work aside for the weekends, not that there's much to do, given still cool and damp weather. Still, we eat together at least once a day, maybe watch something. We can walk around the neighborhood very safely (and the dogs insist!) Glad to see you were able to help out your dad, and to get back home.
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, I will talk to them about it, @efd. But there are no good nights to miss!
	10:53pm efd: @Handy that is true. @Stevel 'twas my Mom, and thanks for the thought.
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Evan - Wasn’t but I’m glad you picked up on that. You played my favorite track. She’s out in New Hampshire right now with her partner, Maya aka Octo Octa.
	10:53pm Stevel: UM: How's Kansas holding up? Indiana is hot around Indianapolis and southeast, but so far [knock, knock] we're running slower in the northeast. Regardless, I'm home, out in public 1-2 times per week maximum.
	10:54pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Hey, Handy!
	10:55pm Handy Haversack: That was groovvin'! Glad to finally find a wizard who knows Hair Magic!
	10:56pm Uncle Michael: I'd say the virus is slow moving here. 18 confirmed cases in my county.
	10:56pm efd: Lots of folks are going to need some hair magic when this is all over!
	10:57pm Kat in Chicago in the app: LOL we were talking about Emergency! yesterday morning on Otis Fodder’s chat board (he played Julie London). That Randy Mantooth song was HILARIOUS.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: I've said it before. There will never be a better time to shave your eyebrows.
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Yes how the hell do those girls know about Randy Mantooth?
	10:58pm PigeonsAndRust: You could have done a seamless transition from that to 'Indiana Wants Me' though R.Deane Taylor doesn't quite fit yer show. Trying to think of other songs that begin and end with sirens now
	11:03pm Stevel: Eyelids, Control Top, so many acts to catch up on.
	11:03pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	11:03pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I had a hair appointment scheduled right before everything shut down. My roots were overdue for attention then, now they’ve grown out so far that I think they look cool.
	11:03pm efd: Very true, Stevel. Hi Phillippe!
	11:04pm Stevel: I watched Emergency EVERY FRIDAY if I recall correctly. Perhaps its why I became a news photographer. Whaddya think, Uncle Michael?
	11:04pm efd: Emergency! (don't forget the exclamation point) was the best! Love that you were talking about it yesterday too, Kat!
	11:05pm Stevel: Kat: My wife says, most days, I look like Larry, Darryl or Darryl, and she's not far off. (Its the layered look) You're rocking it!
	11:05pm spodiodi: i think i had the Emergency! board game... but might be confusing with the lunchbox
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I know, I haven’t thought about that show in decades so that is a weird coincidence.
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: We had all these conflicting emotions between Eyelids waffle concert and the fact that the same day is the NYC Tartan Day Scottish parade, which we march in every year ... and then it all got canceled! So I have been enjoying all the things that have been canceled that I couldn't afford, had a conflict with, or had missed the fact that tix were on sale. Not a good person, but the convenience charge for U.S. Girls was $30!
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: I only watched the Adam-12 crossover episodes.
	11:08pm Uncle Michael: I try not to think, Steve. Who wants to tuck me in? I'll take my answer on the air.
	11:08pm efd: (a leftover "worry" song that I didn't fit in the opening set)
	11:10pm Kat in Chicago in the app: My temp job hours get trimmed to 32 in two weeks and the job itself ends June 30, so I hope I can afford a hair appointment before I look for work again. May just go gray at this point, we’ll see.
	11:10pm P-90: Damn, got pulled away for some trivial nonsense and missed Randy Mantooth.
	11:10pm efd: oh boy, good luck Kat.
	11:11pm Uncle Michael: Night, all. Thanks, Evan.
	11:12pm efd: later UM! Hope to catch you Friday!
	11:12pm Stevel: Night, UM What a jam!
	11:12pm G: Ugh, is this how it's gonna be for the next 2-3 weeks? "NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ellis Marsalis, jazz pianist, teacher and patriarch of a New Orleans musical family that includes famed musician sons Wynton and Branford, has died. He was 85." He seemed to have COVID-like symptoms, but his test hasn't come back yet. Went pretty quickly.
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Thanks, Evan. I paid April rent so I’m doing better than a lot of folks as of this moment.
	11:12pm Uncle Michael: Cool! I'll be having that ex-BCN talent on.
	11:14pm efd: goddamn crossfader part 2!!
	11:14pm Stevel: G: Hang on to your ass. No humor implied. I'm home, thinking good and healing thoughts and hoping for the best.
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I’m worried about a bunch of older musicians that I love, don’t even wanna name their names in case the Reaper is listening in.
	11:14pm efd: oh right, UM, I'll try to be there. Sorry to miss Dan last week but I had too many meetings.
	11:15pm Stevel: Meetings seem more important now, for some reason.
	11:15pm efd: Totally hear you, Kat. It's getting scary.
	11:15pm efd: shouldn't say "getting," really, it's BEEN scary.
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: Heard in this home: "I think one good thing to come out of this virus: we're watching less TV, we're listening to the radio more, we're chatting with Evan Funk Davies!"
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Handy, whoever said that is not wrong. I gave up TV a while ago myself.
	11:20pm efd: ha, excellent quote Handy!
	11:21pm Mike Sin: So, I think this is the first time I’ve listened to WFMU on eight different devices in one week. It’s great that all these dedicated (and unpaid) WFMU DJs such as a EFD are doing all they can to deliver original content.
	11:21pm Clay: EFD I loved that track by The Fast you featured on Pop Roxx! Stay healthy. You sound great!
	11:22pm efd: thanks Clay! Isn't it past your bedtime??
	11:23pm Handy Haversack: We ... watch highly curated, ad-free, not broadcast TV. Our actual TV is used pretty much as a cat bed and for football season. Hey, CLAY!! We had a Glistener video conference! queems, LCBD, Buddha, Daybreak, Drop of Golden Sun, yerfriendpaul, Colleen, Rachel Bo Bachel: much love sent your way!!
	11:24pm efd: Thanks Mike, this is one of those times when everyone involved with the station is going the extra mile to keep it on the air and as live (or plausibly live) as possible.
	11:24pm Clay: No. I sleep by day! Currently editing Michele with One L's "State Showcase" tomorrow featuring your beloved ... Massachusetts! Take care my friend! And your loyal listeners!
	11:24pm Stevel: CLAY!! You are such a comfort, in all times, especially now.
	11:24pm efd: Thanks so much, you night owl!
	11:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: TIL pigeons are nocturnal.
	11:25pm spodiodi: loved the savak (and the album title)
	11:25pm Handy Haversack: KINGZ
	11:27pm Clay: Cool Handy! Tell about it tomorrow on the Accu. Thank you Stevel! Gotta run! Rock on EFD! What would Foghat do?
	11:27pm Steve from Dunwoody: Please slip in a Taxachusetts ref, Clay. It's what they do and they seem to be proud of it. But I am happy with everything you do. All the best!
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: We are both totally stumped on what Foghat would do. Can I phone a friend? That said: FOGHAT!!!
	11:31pm Handy Haversack: Last show we saw (before Everything Stopped Happening) was Control Top and Weeping Icon at Union Pool! What a great band!
	11:32pm Mike Sin: My highlight amid all the recent craziness: Finding the “All the Young Droogs” CD box set online for $9. Deriving happiness from simple diversions in the midst of all the bad news.
	11:33pm efd: wow Mike, that's a steal! Handy, Control Top are the greatest - glad you got to see them!
	11:34pm Handy Haversack: Had nice chats with them, too, @efd. Hell yeah! Wow, this sounds good!
	11:35pm Chop Scott: I wish we could have sent Shure SM7-Bs to everyone! Sounding great Evan.
	11:36pm efd: haha, thank you Scott. Very glad that aspirational purchase is paying dividends now.
	11:36pm Ciggy: Sorry I signed in late. Playlist looks great. I'll listen to the archive. You're the best EFD!
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Shit, Dares! Another great one. Found them through Three Chord Monte.
	11:41pm efd: featuring our own Mario Santana!
	11:43pm Steve: EFD, I've been thinking of The House of Freaks - 'The World of Tomorrow' from their 2nd album 'Tantilla' (1988) on Rhino Records. Remember them and their song?
	11:44pm Stevel: Your post-punk, squonky super-sense is always on track, efd
	11:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah! Chatting with Dares after a set at the Brewery(?) might be the longest talk I have had about FMU in public.
	11:47pm efd: @Steve I have to admit I don't recall that one!
	11:48pm Steve: Apprapro for now, EFD !
	11:48pm Kat in Chicago in the app: I read that as “libertarians with hickeys” at first. Would much rather think about librarians, behickeyed or not.
	11:49pm efd: Haha! Now that would be a band name!
	11:51pm Stevel: Librarians are more likely to have hickeys than libertarians. Just saying.
	11:51pm JakeGould: Man, hickeys! How olde fashioned.
	11:52pm Handy Haversack: I am a bad person. I have done ... questionable things. But I would never give a libertarian a hickey.
	11:55pm Scott Williams: Thanks Evan, really fun show! Very "live"!
	11:56pm spodiodi: thanks, EFD!
	11:57pm Steve: EFD, another relevant song House of Freaks - 'A Whole Lot of Nothing Going On' from their last album 'Invisible Jewel'
	11:57pm efd: Thanks Scott! I think next week I'll be ready for actually live!
	11:57pm Scott Williams: @efd, I'll be here for ya
	11:57pm Handy Haversack: Scott! Shoot! Thanks for BOARD OPS!! Thanks, efd! So nice to be here for it!
	11:58pm efd: Looking forward to it!
	11:58pm efd: Thanks so much everyone for listening, and thanks to those who commented. I'm so grateful and proud to be a part of WFMU.
	11:58pm JakeGould: Thanks EFD!
	11:58pm Handy Haversack: Kingz!
	11:59pm Kat in Chicago in the app: Thank you, Evan! Thank you, Scott!
	1:08am John from CDA: Back when Steve Mack (Stag, TPE) attended the University of Washington, his roommate was MTV's Kevin Seal (120 Minutes).
