Listener comments!
	12:00pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and folks.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters!
	12:01pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: I was on my way out the door this morning but actually paused to linger so I could hear Pop Roxx. Another excellent entry, efd!
	12:02pm luka: no meetings all show lfgggggg
	12:02pm efd: @luka THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!!
	12:02pm Carmichael: The hottest day in the history of Sacramento yesterday, 116 degrees.
	12:03pm efd: dammit, @Carmichael, I heard about that on the news. How's the power holding out?
	12:03pm Lixiviated Life: well... this is cheery. let's hang around for a while and see what happens
	12:04pm McGroovey: Predictive text poets Wizzard's Brew
	12:05pm Carmichael: Amazingly, the grid held up (for me, at least). The heat will end on Sunday, with possible thunderstorms on Monday. I have no idea what's happening with the climate ...
	12:09pm nycmusicnerd: This is how Courtney Barnett would sound if she spoke German.
	12:09pm McGroovey: Maybe she does speak German?
	12:10pm nycmusicnerd: @McGroovey: It's very possible
	12:11pm courtneynoir: It's how courtneynoir sounds when she speaks German - sehr wütend!
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: I'd like to hear how the Courtney Noir Social Media Air Horn sounds when it speaks German.
	12:15pm courtneynoir: @Handy SEHR WÜTEND!!! WOOOOP!
	12:15pm Carmichael: It sounds like an air raid siren.
	12:18pm Jack McGuire: Gotta be some kinda Andy Bopp affiliation with The Conquerors?
	12:18pm Andres: Good aft, efd and all!
	12:20pm Andres: Carmichael: 116f/46.667c! Holy heck! Does the ‘but it’s a dry heat’ theory stand up?
	12:21pm efd: @Jack M nope, the Conquerors (sometimes known as William & the Conquerors) were from Minneapolis)
	12:21pm brycepunk1: I love Wednesdays. Get to listen to EFD playing all these great songs while going for a 25 mile bike ride. I'm grateful.
	12:22pm b0b0b0b dublon: @@@EFD ...Evan .Did you ever go back and listen to that Pop Op Drops lilt by Plasticland..?that particular song would fit.
	12:23pm frenchee: HBD Chrissie H!
	12:24pm frenchee: EFD, I second those exclamation points
	12:25pm Carmichael: @Andres, it's dry like a convection oven. You can see it shimmering.
	12:25pm Jack McGuire: @EFD Huh. So there's another singer with that You've Got to Hide Your Love Away timber. Ya live, ya learn. Especially here.
	12:25pm drr: I've heard Mystery Achievement about four times this week...combine Spotify algorithm with trying to take more walks.
	12:25pm van chinski: Listening live for the first time in a while, good afternoon EFD
	12:25pm Androu B.: Hello, efd & Funksters! It was an honor to meet you in person at the Bongos show last week, efd! Thanks for making that night extra special for me! Even got signed copies of "Drums Along The Mohawk" & "Phantom Train"! Richie Barone was an awesomely cool guy in person as well!
	12:26pm Carmichael: For some strange reason, I don't remember this song on the 1st album, even though I played the hell out of it.
	12:26pm efd: @Carmichael buried at the end of side 2, weirdly!
	12:26pm efd: @Androu nice meeting you too!
	12:28pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD & Listeners! Hey Handy Haversack, courtneynoir, McGroovey!
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Mike!
	12:29pm Brendan: Chrissy was still getting it done with Sir Paul last week at the Taylor Hawkins celebration of life.
	12:30pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Anybody know if they're gonna replay that Taylor Hawkins thing? I completely missed it.
	12:32pm herb.nyc: Happy birthday, chrissie! (Eek, have never seen the Pretenders). Was so into “mystery achievement” that I almost forgot I had water boiling.
	12:32pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy EFD, McGroove, Handy, slightly less damp Bagpipe, Liz, Brooklyn Mike, everybody!
	12:32pm courtneynoir: it means just twenty-four hours
	12:32pm Frank Zaatar: We should all look (and sing) so good at 71.
	12:33pm love2laf: "This Very Instant"
	12:33pm courtneynoir: die weisheit wachst auf baumen = something like "knowledge grows on trees"
	12:33pm Brendan: @woods. It was up on YouTube for most of the afternoon Saturday. Then the suits yanked it. It’s probably available somewhere on a streaming service with a price tag now. They’re doing another one in LA soon
	12:33pm Hoboken Jack: Not to be confused with Rutt's Hut
	12:36pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Brendan: I honestly wouldn't mind paying for it. The only thing I saw was Wolfgang rippin' it up on "Hot For Teacher."
	12:36pm Wind: Funky Davies:)
	12:37pm prof.fuzz: just getting into the office. that vancougars tune was great.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: Definitely efdcore.
	12:38pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hey herb.nyc, Hoboken Jack!
	12:39pm Jack McGuire: The remarkable breadth of artists and producers that Gary Barnacle has worked with is something to see.
	12:39pm courtneynoir: efdcore is one of my favourite genres of music
	12:40pm Joe B: hey efd, show sounding great as usual
	12:41pm Stipe: Hello
	12:42pm efd: thanks Joe!
	12:42pm herb.nyc: (Hi mike von bklyn. I just did my Techtonic audio) I saw the Windbreakers at Maxwell’s. Nice pop rock. RIP, Bobby.
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: @efd..I think Mitch Easter produced, engineered and played on a couple of Windbreakers albums.
	12:43pm efd: @Alvy yep, he was a regular collaborator of theirs for a while. And Tim Lee was in the Let's Active touring band for a year or two to boot!
	12:44pm efd: all the more baffling to me that I didn't come across them sooner
	12:44pm Brendan: @woods, I caught bits of it which were quite good. Grohl looked like he was going to die. The show was like four hours plus he sat in on drums, guitar and vocals with so many of the artists. Plus organizing and emceeing the thing. Throw in the emotion of it all too. Not a huge fan but certainly aware of them by the amount of air play/exposure. A lot of respect for that guy.
	12:45pm herb.nyc: German- my college suite mate and I took German conversation class. He made up this sentence-“wohin ist deine jungen frauen?” I apologize for howie’s tasteless remark.
	12:45pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Joe!
	12:46pm nycmusicnerd: @Brendan I agree. Not a huge fan of Foo, but I really respect Dave Grohl.
	12:47pm courtneynoir: @herb verwerflich
	12:48pm Alvy Singer: @efd--Matt Piucci and Steven Roback from Rain Parade also played on a couple of Windbreakers songs as well.
	12:48pm courtneynoir: @nycmusicnerd @Brendan I know - I wanna like Foo fighters soooo badly but .... it just doesn't turn my crank
	12:48pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Evan and all. I'm not at all familiar with The Windbreakers but I'm digging it.
	12:49pm Wind: Carmichael: This is what's happening with the climate ...truthout.org...
	12:50pm Figgsrock: Afternoon everyone. For those asking, the Hawkins tribute (which features birthday subject Chrissie Hynde) is steaming on Paramount Plus, which you need a subscription, or through Pluto, which is ad supported.
	12:50pm Mike From Brooklyn: This is the first I'm hearing The Windbreakers too. I'm really digging them. Wish I had come across them sooner too.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Really digging getting wrapped up in the Windbreakers.
	12:51pm Jack McGuire: Timbre.
	12:51pm katie: Thanks for this Evan. I can't count how many times I played this song.
	12:51pm Carmichael: Just reading about these guys on some blog. Interesting evolution, cool music.
	12:51pm drr: The guitar player from my college band in the 1980s played in the Tim Lee Band in the 2000s.
	12:52pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hey efd and chat, also really surprised I'm not familiar with The Windbreakers. They sound completely like what I was listening to at the time!
	12:52pm prof.fuzz: Tim Lee's book _I Saw a Dozen Faces_ is a fabulous memoir.
	12:53pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Delightfully jangly show EFD…bringing back lots of memories.
	12:53pm Crosby in KC: Electric Landlady is a priceless album title!
	12:53pm drr: fuzz: added to cart.
	12:53pm herb.nyc: Windbreakers is a nod to anorak rock? Or to farts?
	12:53pm nycmusicnerd: @courtneynoir: I like the stuff where Dave Grohl collaborates with others. Like the drum battle with Nandie Bushell. Or the time he brought Rick Astley onto the stage at that festival in Japan. He even jammed with Rick Springfield on "Jessie's Girl" on some tour a few years ago.
	12:53pm efd: released the same year as Kirsty MacColl's album of the same name!
	12:54pm pgalub: Hey efd and everyone! RIP Bobby Sutliff!!! Loved his writing!
	12:55pm Brendan: @nyc and courtney , Plus, Grohl has the endearing quality of being able to drop five or six F bombs in a single sentence no matter what the event. Reminds me of Ricky on the trailer Park boys or my very good drinking buddy. Sometimes I have to listen to the sentence and then slowly decipher what he just said.
	12:56pm herb.nyc: @courtneynoir- I had to look up that word. Es tut mir leid.
	12:56pm johnk77: thank u nice work selecter proud to have grown up in northern ohio during the 1960s the same time as chrissie hynde got to meet her a few times in the 1980s she was a gas to hang out with, cursed like a sailor, and loved talking smack about music and musicians;> hope she keeps rocking
	12:56pm SamTheRam: Here's to Bobby
	12:57pm courtneynoir: @herb [laughs out loud in German]
	12:58pm Hoboken Jack: Peeeeete!! Jeff!! Got hip to the Windbreakers back in college and I have a great compilation I need to dig out.
	12:59pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @nycmusicnerd I loved it when they brought Nandie out on stage at a show. That girl's fantastic.
	1:00pm luka: both of those solo album tracks were scorchers
	1:00pm nycmusicnerd: @brendan: At one of the shows where he played with Rick Springfield, at one point he yelled "RICK F--KING SPRINGFIELD!!!!!" The next day a query came from RS's Facebook page: "If we were to make a T-shirt with "RICK F--KING SPRINGFIELD" on it, would anyone be interested in buying it?" Let's just say I'm the proud owner of an obscene shirt. :)
	1:01pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Looking forward to hearing efd pronounce that film name.
	1:01pm prof.fuzz: you won't regret it, dave. over the weekend there were some special items on the windbreakers bandcamp page raising funds for bobby's family. thewindbreakers82.bandcamp.com
	1:02pm nycmusicnerd: @Woods: If you like Nandie, you should also check out Yoyoka (also a drummer, I think she's 13 now) and Ellen Ayerverdan (might have spelled that name wrong). She's a 10yo bass player.
	1:02pm Androu B.: @efd - Brainiac from Neuron 3 (over on Ken's playlist chatboard) also mentioned these significant birthdays: Gloria Gaynor turns 79 Alfa Anderson of Chic turns 76 MC5 drummer Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson turns 74 (Todd Rundgren's) Utopia member Mark "Moogy" Klingman turns 72 Romeo Void sax player Ben Bossi turns 69 Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench would have been 68 Margot Chapman of Starland Vocal Band turns 65 Lush drummer Christopher Acland would have been 56 Actor Tom Everett Scott ("That Thing You Do") turns 52 ...and Buddy Holly would have been 86

	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Great set, efd, thanks! Always a shame to make these obituary discoveries, but it's better than not discovering at all -- thanks for the guidance!
	1:07pm Androu B.: @Joe B. - just caught that, sorry. I meant to correct it for Mark "Moogy" Klingman and failed to double-check.
	1:07pm tim from washington: Did Kirsten and Bobby rent from the same person?
	1:07pm Brendan: @nyc So many T-shirts back in the day I wish I would’ve taken care of and still have today. That one sounds like a keeper. Don’t wash it too often!
	1:07pm tim from washington: Hi efd! Hi everyone!
	1:09pm G: No, I can't go back there...
	1:09pm Handy Haversack: Tim!
	1:10pm Paul D: Greetings, friends, and countrypersons.
	1:11pm prof.fuzz: Since we're highlighting calendar items... Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of Buzz Aldrin punching a moon landing denier in the face. He's Buzz!
	1:11pm tim from washington: Handyman! Did K8 tell you about my Pure Michigan moment?
	1:11pm Joe B: and the original artist r dean taylor also died this year
	1:11pm luka: as someone who was born in indiana... yes.

	1:13pm Joe B: ha ha exactly efd. bobby also does an amazing version of don't let it bring you down on a relatively recent neil young tribute album
	1:13pm Handy Haversack: Tim: Ha, totally! We have them outside of MI, too, though not as frequently, clearly. Once you know, though, you KNOW.
	1:14pm Crosby in KC: I was half-expecting a Zappa cover here.
	1:14pm tim from washington: prof - I eschew violence but I applaud Aldrin’s efforts!
	1:17pm prof.fuzz: @tim: legit
	1:18pm Pax: @luke: are you referring that Indiana isn't a preferable place to go to
	1:21pm Brainiac from Neuron 3: Gloria Gaynor this Saturday in England ... boogietown.co.uk... .
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: JDE! Nice!
	1:24pm G: Still liking this B&S -- definitely an FMU hit haha
	1:25pm Handy Haversack: I was about to post that they're playing this Sat. at the Hart Bar in BK, but there's no need to worry when efd is on the case!
	1:28pm Carmichael: Moogy Klingman passed on in 2011 ...
	1:31pm katharsis: Hellos EFD and all
	1:31pm Handy Haversack: Tonight! on efd Mysteries ...
	1:32pm tim from washington: I listened lo the mystery song last week. I’m pretty sure it’s Kansas.
	1:32pm jura: let's hear it!
	1:33pm Joe R.: Evan-did the listener make the tape and if so, where are they based?
	1:34pm Pax: prof.fuzz@1:12 - do you remember if there were any three digit numbers or higher with a dollar sign proceeding them on that poster in the post office by chance. If so how do you feel about inviting me to your place long enough so I can get an addr.... I mean have drink or two
	1:34pm jura: sounds like the specials :)
	1:34pm drr: Maybe it's these guys? www.youtube.com...
	1:34pm Joe R.: I posted this on the ska subreddit, got some good guesses but didn't get any hits. www.reddit.com...
	1:34pm efd: @Joe R yes, and he's in NJ. He thinks he might have bought the record at the old Vintage Vinyl location in Irvington.
	1:35pm Bøff: Hello comment section :-)
	1:35pm Androu B.: Always fun to figure out who's behind the mystery record of the week. OK, so it's obviously a ska band. Has a Madness-like sound to it.
	1:35pm drr: What instrument is that, a melodica?
	1:35pm Jack McGuire: 4 be 2
	1:35pm Carmichael: I wish I could understand the vocals ...
	1:35pm Handy Haversack: I heard Madness, too, Androu B. And same question, drr!
	1:35pm milknpie: very madness-y
	1:35pm Carmichael: Accordion
	1:35pm listener monica: it makes a great earworm!
	1:36pm efd: y'all aren't telling me anything new! :D
	1:36pm Androu B.: My guess: Fun Boy Three
	1:36pm drr: googles british ska melodica and this came up: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:36pm Crosby in KC: Kinda sounds like The Jam
	1:36pm evan (different one): i love this song.....
	1:36pm efd: @Jack I thought of 4 be 2 too, but couldn't find a corresponding song
	1:37pm evan (different one): is there anyplace online i can find it to send to people to try to solve?
	1:37pm tim from washington: Serious guess : earLy UB40?
	1:37pm drr: oh, never mind, way too late.
	1:38pm Joe R.: @efd - ah, that helps! One guess on Reddit was the Hoovers which was a band of UK ex-pats in SF (bit of a swerve but it would make sense!) I tracked through their LP and EP quickly but didn't find a match. www.youtube.com... marcoonthebass.blogspot.com...
	1:38pm Pax: My guess it's some kind of zydeco band. If so that might give you some kind of path to explore
	1:38pm efd: @different evan - email me at evan at wfmu dot org and I'll send you a link later
	1:39pm Hoboken Jack: Is "Ask Fred" from MOJO still around?
	1:39pm Joe R.: @Evan (different one) - I tried Reddit which I thought had some potential....
	1:39pm evan (different one): grazie
	1:42pm drr: is orvy Orville Neeley?
	1:43pm efd: @drr it is!
	1:44pm Androu B.: @drr - Did you catch the part about The Skints DIY tour? There was another band on that tour by the name of...ClayPigeon!
	1:44pm Hoboken Jack: Dang, Fred Dellar passed away last year. Sad.
	1:44pm Bri: Ha funny you should say Indiana wants me, I just heard that song before I tuned in!
	1:45pm Carmichael: Moon Martin!
	1:45pm Beast of Boonton: I got this when it came out on vinyl - Still have it
	1:45pm Carmichael: I have his 1st two LPs. Great sound.
	1:45pm Brendan: @woods (12:30) https://archive.org/details/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concert-2022-09-03-wembley-stadium-london-1080p
	1:46pm drr: Androu: better let Clay know so he can get his legal team on that!
	1:46pm katharsis: I have a recording of mysterious piano music off public radio 2006. No luck finding the composer.
	1:47pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Brendan: Thanks!!
	1:47pm Androu B.: Wow, haven't heard Moon Martin for the longest time. Believe it or not, the first time (and only place) I ever heard this artist was on WNEW-FM, in the days when it was a classic rock station.
	1:48pm drr: I've heard this song ("Rolene") once before, on a repeat of American Top 40.
	1:49pm efd: @drr Probably fairly early in the show!
	1:49pm drr: efd: I believe it was the first song played.
	1:53pm Carmichael: Didn't realize Martin died in 2020 of "natural causes."
	1:53pm prof.fuzz: @Pax: contact my program director and we'll set something up! Lots of dollar signs and zeroes. Too many to even count.
	1:53pm Androu B.: RIP Vintage Vinyl
	1:54pm Van: Howdy EFD and everyone!
	1:54pm asheville jon: YES!!! SMAH!!!
	1:54pm Handy Haversack: And lo. I am mediated once again. CNSMAH! Now do it in German!
	1:54pm Androu B.: AIRHORN TIME!!!
	1:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Note: EFD has no annoying horns on Instagram
	1:56pm Hoboken Jack: Oh sweet airhorn, totally making up for your pedestrian mention of the word GAZEBOS.
	1:57pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): True story: we bought a gazebo just a few weeks ago.
	1:57pm Androu B.: Not to be confused with Mzlkypop.
	1:58pm Alvy Singer: @efd--Have you had a chance to listen to the new Uni Boys album-Do It All Next Week? These guys fit nicely next to The Quick, Milk n’ Cookies, and The Shoes.
	1:59pm karlward: I missed the airhorn?
	2:03pm efd: @karlward you did!
	2:04pm efd: this "Heart Of Glass" mix is so mesmerizing, I love it!
	2:04pm efd: @Alvy Not familiar, will check it out
	2:04pm slocker: This is fantastic!
	2:04pm Harktheumpire: Bass VI + tape delay + drum machine = pretty sweet
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Listen within, karlward. It will be there.
	2:05pm BH: "Heart of Glass (Movie Score mix)"
	2:05pm karlward: I listen within and all I hear is the Social Media Roland CompuRhythm 78
	2:06pm drr: this was good but now it is oppressive.
	2:07pm slocker: Yeah may be going on a tad long it's only a 3-hour show.
	2:07pm BH: it kinda does sound like Chris Stein fell asleep with a 70s detective movie on TV the night before composing this
	2:09pm efd: I am happy to devote 3% of the show to that version of "Heart Of Glass!"
	2:10pm efd: (assuming I did the math correctly)
	2:10pm Hoboken Jack: Maybe the Mo-Dettes would know who did the mystery song.
	2:11pm efd: @Jack they might!
	2:12pm Van: I dig this vocalist, and the groove is decent once it got going
	2:15pm Figgsrock: Wow, I write something for work in the morning and EFD plays it in the afternoon.
	2:16pm efd: @Figgsrock spooky!
	2:16pm drr: This Shout tune seems familiar, can't quite place it though.
	2:16pm Rich from Wading River: Upon first hearing this I thought this was Neil Tenant singing
	2:18pm Rich from Wading River: @drr it was in The Animule House movie, I think
	2:18pm Figgsrock: Placebo love their 1985 covers
	2:19pm Androu B.: I guess Placebo is attempting to cash in on their cover of "Running Up That Hill", with that song being a surprise hit all over again.
	2:19pm Andres: Great song. Version is growing on me.
	2:20pm drr: Gazebo, Placebo....let's call the whole thing off.
	2:21pm listener monica: I thought Placebo's version sounds better than the original. (I happened to get to see them live in London. just by chance)
	2:24pm Joe R.: Speaking of Tears for Fears, in the mystery ska song search, I learned that the Tears for Fears guys were in a mod/ska/new wave band called Graduate. I'm guessing some of you knew this but it was a fun discovery for me. www.youtube.com... en.wikipedia.org...
	2:25pm BH: On checking my long abandoned iPod Touch, I have 4 Placebo songs. For What It's Worth (not a cover), Infra-Red, Meds, and Pure Morning.
	2:25pm Andres: Joe R.: Did not know. Nice find!
	2:26pm Joe R.: @andres - thanks!
	2:28pm JetBoy now of Astoria: I enjoy alliteration.
	2:30pm BH: for some reason, I get "Running Down a Dream" vibes from the instrumental sounds of this song?
	2:32pm Andres: I’m eight hours and a border crossing away, not gonna do it, but even I am excited by the mention of fresh stock from a huge collection at the record sale!
	2:32pm G: @JetBoy: you almost always appreciate alliteration?
	2:33pm herb.nyc: Evan said “power pop”. While at library Yest, I saw they had book “go all the way”. About power pop. I read the Ira Elliott chapter. It was inciteful. He made a nice Brit vs ‘merican comment.
	2:33pm JetBoy now of Astoria: @G: Nearly never do I not enjoy alliteration
	2:34pm drr: JetBoy: 'njoy.
	2:34pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great show efd. Hopefully we will see you on the 17th!!!
	2:35pm JetBoy now of Astoria: @drr: nice!
	2:37pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I wonder if Vicki might know who did the mystery song...
	2:37pm Handy Haversack: While canoeing on Lake Cayuga from Ithaca, I got a great picture of the dog posed in front of the Invasive Species Disposal Station, but he doesn't seem to get the joke.
	2:38pm prudy: woods of NH: my thoughts exactly...
	2:43pm johnk77: excellent selections ramones album rocket to russia produced by tony bongiovi & tommy erdelyi
	2:44pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Fantastic tune efd. Thanks!!!
	2:47pm brycepunk1: Absolutely loved your show today. Great music! Thank you :)
	2:47pm Various Julius: hey!
	2:48pm ?: Is Dan Melchior the next Damien Jurado? "Perhaps, " is the only answer
	2:48pm efd: oh hey!!
	2:48pm Carmichael: Thanks Evan!
	2:49pm efd: that "sloppy blues" line makes me laugh
	2:50pm Figgsrock: Oh wow, this Airport 77s might be the song of my summer 2022 just for the lyrical content alone.
	2:50pm Stevel: Haven't heard a TA77 song that I didn't like. Or is it TAP77?
	2:50pm Crosby in KC: @efd: it's funny because it's true
	2:51pm efd: @Various Julius can we get a ruling on the proper initialism of the band name?
	2:51pm Various Julius: I'll pass that along to Andy - he wrote all the words on this. Thanks!
	2:52pm Various Julius: I usually go with A77s myself - may need to run that by the band
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Gotta run. Thanks, efd!
	2:55pm efd: Thanks for listening, everyone!
	2:55pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks EFD for yet another tremendous show! How does he do it, ladies and gentlemen, week after week?!?
	2:56pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for a great show today, Evan!
	2:58pm listener 126464: Thanks efd!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 7, 2022

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 18th, 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!
Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)
It’s the 18th year of the Evan “Funk” Davies Show Holiday Music Funktacular, and this year — for the first time ever — it will air on actual Christmas Day! Tune in for three hours of Christmas music that you won’t already be sick of hearing: old and new seasonal rock, punk, dance, glam, and power pop favorites. Even your family might enjoy it!

	12:01pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: I was on my way out the door this morning but actually paused to linger so I could hear Pop Roxx. Another excellent entry, efd!
	12:02pm luka: no meetings all show lfgggggg
	12:02pm efd: @luka THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!!
	12:02pm Carmichael: The hottest day in the history of Sacramento yesterday, 116 degrees.
	12:03pm efd: dammit, @Carmichael, I heard about that on the news. How's the power holding out?
	12:03pm Lixiviated Life: well... this is cheery. let's hang around for a while and see what happens
	12:04pm McGroovey: Predictive text poets Wizzard's Brew
	12:05pm Carmichael: Amazingly, the grid held up (for me, at least). The heat will end on Sunday, with possible thunderstorms on Monday. I have no idea what's happening with the climate ...
	12:09pm nycmusicnerd: This is how Courtney Barnett would sound if she spoke German.
	12:09pm McGroovey: Maybe she does speak German?
	12:10pm nycmusicnerd: @McGroovey: It's very possible
	12:11pm courtneynoir: It's how courtneynoir sounds when she speaks German - sehr wütend!
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: I'd like to hear how the Courtney Noir Social Media Air Horn sounds when it speaks German.
	12:15pm courtneynoir: @Handy SEHR WÜTEND!!! WOOOOP!
	12:15pm Carmichael: It sounds like an air raid siren.
	12:18pm Jack McGuire: Gotta be some kinda Andy Bopp affiliation with The Conquerors?
	12:18pm Andres: Good aft, efd and all!
	12:20pm Andres: Carmichael: 116f/46.667c! Holy heck! Does the ‘but it’s a dry heat’ theory stand up?
	12:21pm efd: @Jack M nope, the Conquerors (sometimes known as William & the Conquerors) were from Minneapolis)
	12:21pm brycepunk1: I love Wednesdays. Get to listen to EFD playing all these great songs while going for a 25 mile bike ride. I'm grateful.
	12:22pm b0b0b0b dublon: @@@EFD ...Evan .Did you ever go back and listen to that Pop Op Drops lilt by Plasticland..?that particular song would fit.
	12:23pm frenchee: HBD Chrissie H!
	12:24pm frenchee: EFD, I second those exclamation points
	12:25pm Carmichael: @Andres, it's dry like a convection oven. You can see it shimmering.
	12:25pm Jack McGuire: @EFD Huh. So there's another singer with that You've Got to Hide Your Love Away timber. Ya live, ya learn. Especially here.
	12:25pm drr: I've heard Mystery Achievement about four times this week...combine Spotify algorithm with trying to take more walks.
	12:25pm van chinski: Listening live for the first time in a while, good afternoon EFD
	12:25pm Androu B.: Hello, efd & Funksters! It was an honor to meet you in person at the Bongos show last week, efd! Thanks for making that night extra special for me! Even got signed copies of "Drums Along The Mohawk" & "Phantom Train"! Richie Barone was an awesomely cool guy in person as well!
	12:26pm Carmichael: For some strange reason, I don't remember this song on the 1st album, even though I played the hell out of it.
	12:26pm efd: @Carmichael buried at the end of side 2, weirdly!
	12:26pm efd: @Androu nice meeting you too!
	12:28pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD & Listeners! Hey Handy Haversack, courtneynoir, McGroovey!
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Mike!
	12:29pm Brendan: Chrissy was still getting it done with Sir Paul last week at the Taylor Hawkins celebration of life.
	12:30pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Anybody know if they're gonna replay that Taylor Hawkins thing? I completely missed it.
	12:32pm herb.nyc: Happy birthday, chrissie! (Eek, have never seen the Pretenders). Was so into “mystery achievement” that I almost forgot I had water boiling.
	12:32pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy EFD, McGroove, Handy, slightly less damp Bagpipe, Liz, Brooklyn Mike, everybody!
	12:32pm courtneynoir: it means just twenty-four hours
	12:32pm Frank Zaatar: We should all look (and sing) so good at 71.
	12:33pm love2laf: "This Very Instant"
	12:33pm courtneynoir: die weisheit wachst auf baumen = something like "knowledge grows on trees"
	12:33pm Brendan: @woods. It was up on YouTube for most of the afternoon Saturday. Then the suits yanked it. It’s probably available somewhere on a streaming service with a price tag now. They’re doing another one in LA soon
	12:33pm Hoboken Jack: Not to be confused with Rutt's Hut
	12:36pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Brendan: I honestly wouldn't mind paying for it. The only thing I saw was Wolfgang rippin' it up on "Hot For Teacher."
	12:36pm Wind: Funky Davies:)
	12:37pm prof.fuzz: just getting into the office. that vancougars tune was great.
	12:37pm Handy Haversack: Definitely efdcore.
	12:38pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hey herb.nyc, Hoboken Jack!
	12:39pm Jack McGuire: The remarkable breadth of artists and producers that Gary Barnacle has worked with is something to see.
	12:39pm courtneynoir: efdcore is one of my favourite genres of music
	12:40pm Joe B: hey efd, show sounding great as usual
	12:41pm Stipe: Hello
	12:42pm efd: thanks Joe!
	12:42pm herb.nyc: (Hi mike von bklyn. I just did my Techtonic audio) I saw the Windbreakers at Maxwell’s. Nice pop rock. RIP, Bobby.
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: @efd..I think Mitch Easter produced, engineered and played on a couple of Windbreakers albums.
	12:43pm efd: @Alvy yep, he was a regular collaborator of theirs for a while. And Tim Lee was in the Let's Active touring band for a year or two to boot!
	12:44pm efd: all the more baffling to me that I didn't come across them sooner
	12:44pm Brendan: @woods, I caught bits of it which were quite good. Grohl looked like he was going to die. The show was like four hours plus he sat in on drums, guitar and vocals with so many of the artists. Plus organizing and emceeing the thing. Throw in the emotion of it all too. Not a huge fan but certainly aware of them by the amount of air play/exposure. A lot of respect for that guy.
	12:45pm herb.nyc: German- my college suite mate and I took German conversation class. He made up this sentence-“wohin ist deine jungen frauen?” I apologize for howie’s tasteless remark.
	12:45pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Joe!
	12:46pm nycmusicnerd: @Brendan I agree. Not a huge fan of Foo, but I really respect Dave Grohl.
	12:47pm courtneynoir: @herb verwerflich
	12:48pm Alvy Singer: @efd--Matt Piucci and Steven Roback from Rain Parade also played on a couple of Windbreakers songs as well.
	12:48pm courtneynoir: @nycmusicnerd @Brendan I know - I wanna like Foo fighters soooo badly but .... it just doesn't turn my crank
	12:48pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Evan and all. I'm not at all familiar with The Windbreakers but I'm digging it.
	12:49pm Wind: Carmichael: This is what's happening with the climate ...truthout.org...
	12:50pm Figgsrock: Afternoon everyone. For those asking, the Hawkins tribute (which features birthday subject Chrissie Hynde) is steaming on Paramount Plus, which you need a subscription, or through Pluto, which is ad supported.
	12:50pm Mike From Brooklyn: This is the first I'm hearing The Windbreakers too. I'm really digging them. Wish I had come across them sooner too.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Really digging getting wrapped up in the Windbreakers.
	12:51pm Jack McGuire: Timbre.
	12:51pm katie: Thanks for this Evan. I can't count how many times I played this song.
	12:51pm Carmichael: Just reading about these guys on some blog. Interesting evolution, cool music.
	12:51pm drr: The guitar player from my college band in the 1980s played in the Tim Lee Band in the 2000s.
	12:52pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hey efd and chat, also really surprised I'm not familiar with The Windbreakers. They sound completely like what I was listening to at the time!
	12:52pm prof.fuzz: Tim Lee's book _I Saw a Dozen Faces_ is a fabulous memoir.
	12:53pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Delightfully jangly show EFD…bringing back lots of memories.
	12:53pm Crosby in KC: Electric Landlady is a priceless album title!
	12:53pm drr: fuzz: added to cart.
	12:53pm herb.nyc: Windbreakers is a nod to anorak rock? Or to farts?
	12:53pm nycmusicnerd: @courtneynoir: I like the stuff where Dave Grohl collaborates with others. Like the drum battle with Nandie Bushell. Or the time he brought Rick Astley onto the stage at that festival in Japan. He even jammed with Rick Springfield on "Jessie's Girl" on some tour a few years ago.
	12:53pm efd: released the same year as Kirsty MacColl's album of the same name!
	12:54pm pgalub: Hey efd and everyone! RIP Bobby Sutliff!!! Loved his writing!
	12:55pm Brendan: @nyc and courtney , Plus, Grohl has the endearing quality of being able to drop five or six F bombs in a single sentence no matter what the event. Reminds me of Ricky on the trailer Park boys or my very good drinking buddy. Sometimes I have to listen to the sentence and then slowly decipher what he just said.
	12:56pm herb.nyc: @courtneynoir- I had to look up that word. Es tut mir leid.
	12:56pm johnk77: thank u nice work selecter proud to have grown up in northern ohio during the 1960s the same time as chrissie hynde got to meet her a few times in the 1980s she was a gas to hang out with, cursed like a sailor, and loved talking smack about music and musicians;> hope she keeps rocking
	12:56pm SamTheRam: Here's to Bobby
	12:57pm courtneynoir: @herb [laughs out loud in German]
	12:58pm Hoboken Jack: Peeeeete!! Jeff!! Got hip to the Windbreakers back in college and I have a great compilation I need to dig out.
	12:59pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @nycmusicnerd I loved it when they brought Nandie out on stage at a show. That girl's fantastic.
	1:00pm luka: both of those solo album tracks were scorchers
	1:00pm nycmusicnerd: @brendan: At one of the shows where he played with Rick Springfield, at one point he yelled "RICK F--KING SPRINGFIELD!!!!!" The next day a query came from RS's Facebook page: "If we were to make a T-shirt with "RICK F--KING SPRINGFIELD" on it, would anyone be interested in buying it?" Let's just say I'm the proud owner of an obscene shirt. :)
	1:01pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Looking forward to hearing efd pronounce that film name.
	1:01pm prof.fuzz: you won't regret it, dave. over the weekend there were some special items on the windbreakers bandcamp page raising funds for bobby's family. thewindbreakers82.bandcamp.com
	1:02pm nycmusicnerd: @Woods: If you like Nandie, you should also check out Yoyoka (also a drummer, I think she's 13 now) and Ellen Ayerverdan (might have spelled that name wrong). She's a 10yo bass player.
	1:02pm Androu B.: @efd - Brainiac from Neuron 3 (over on Ken's playlist chatboard) also mentioned these significant birthdays: Gloria Gaynor turns 79 Alfa Anderson of Chic turns 76 MC5 drummer Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson turns 74 (Todd Rundgren's) Utopia member Mark "Moogy" Klingman turns 72 Romeo Void sax player Ben Bossi turns 69 Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench would have been 68 Margot Chapman of Starland Vocal Band turns 65 Lush drummer Christopher Acland would have been 56 Actor Tom Everett Scott ("That Thing You Do") turns 52 ...and Buddy Holly would have been 86

	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Great set, efd, thanks! Always a shame to make these obituary discoveries, but it's better than not discovering at all -- thanks for the guidance!
	1:07pm Androu B.: @Joe B. - just caught that, sorry. I meant to correct it for Mark "Moogy" Klingman and failed to double-check.
	1:07pm tim from washington: Did Kirsten and Bobby rent from the same person?
	1:07pm Brendan: @nyc So many T-shirts back in the day I wish I would’ve taken care of and still have today. That one sounds like a keeper. Don’t wash it too often!
	1:07pm tim from washington: Hi efd! Hi everyone!

	1:09pm Handy Haversack: Tim!
	1:10pm Paul D: Greetings, friends, and countrypersons.
	1:11pm prof.fuzz: Since we're highlighting calendar items... Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of Buzz Aldrin punching a moon landing denier in the face. He's Buzz!

	1:14pm Crosby in KC: I was half-expecting a Zappa cover here.
	1:14pm tim from washington: prof - I eschew violence but I applaud Aldrin’s efforts!
	1:17pm prof.fuzz: @tim: legit
	1:18pm Pax: @luke: are you referring that Indiana isn't a preferable place to go to
	1:21pm Brainiac from Neuron 3: Gloria Gaynor this Saturday in England ... boogietown.co.uk... .
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: JDE! Nice!
	1:24pm G: Still liking this B&S -- definitely an FMU hit haha
	1:25pm Handy Haversack: I was about to post that they're playing this Sat. at the Hart Bar in BK, but there's no need to worry when efd is on the case!
	1:28pm Carmichael: Moogy Klingman passed on in 2011 ...
	1:31pm katharsis: Hellos EFD and all
	1:31pm Handy Haversack: Tonight! on efd Mysteries ...
	1:32pm tim from washington: I listened lo the mystery song last week. I’m pretty sure it’s Kansas.
	1:32pm jura: let's hear it!
	1:33pm Joe R.: Evan-did the listener make the tape and if so, where are they based?
	1:34pm Pax: prof.fuzz@1:12 - do you remember if there were any three digit numbers or higher with a dollar sign proceeding them on that poster in the post office by chance. If so how do you feel about inviting me to your place long enough so I can get an addr.... I mean have drink or two
	1:34pm jura: sounds like the specials :)
	1:34pm drr: Maybe it's these guys? www.youtube.com...
	1:34pm Joe R.: I posted this on the ska subreddit, got some good guesses but didn't get any hits. www.reddit.com...
	1:34pm efd: @Joe R yes, and he's in NJ. He thinks he might have bought the record at the old Vintage Vinyl location in Irvington.
	1:35pm Bøff: Hello comment section :-)
	1:35pm Androu B.: Always fun to figure out who's behind the mystery record of the week. OK, so it's obviously a ska band. Has a Madness-like sound to it.
	1:35pm drr: What instrument is that, a melodica?
	1:35pm Jack McGuire: 4 be 2
	1:35pm Carmichael: I wish I could understand the vocals ...
	1:35pm Handy Haversack: I heard Madness, too, Androu B. And same question, drr!
	1:35pm milknpie: very madness-y
	1:35pm Carmichael: Accordion
	1:35pm listener monica: it makes a great earworm!
	1:36pm efd: y'all aren't telling me anything new! :D
	1:36pm Androu B.: My guess: Fun Boy Three
	1:36pm drr: googles british ska melodica and this came up: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:36pm Crosby in KC: Kinda sounds like The Jam
	1:36pm evan (different one): i love this song.....
	1:36pm efd: @Jack I thought of 4 be 2 too, but couldn't find a corresponding song
	1:37pm evan (different one): is there anyplace online i can find it to send to people to try to solve?
	1:37pm tim from washington: Serious guess : earLy UB40?
	1:37pm drr: oh, never mind, way too late.
	1:38pm Joe R.: @efd - ah, that helps! One guess on Reddit was the Hoovers which was a band of UK ex-pats in SF (bit of a swerve but it would make sense!) I tracked through their LP and EP quickly but didn't find a match. www.youtube.com... marcoonthebass.blogspot.com...
	1:38pm Pax: My guess it's some kind of zydeco band. If so that might give you some kind of path to explore
	1:38pm efd: @different evan - email me at evan at wfmu dot org and I'll send you a link later
	1:39pm Hoboken Jack: Is "Ask Fred" from MOJO still around?
	1:39pm Joe R.: @Evan (different one) - I tried Reddit which I thought had some potential....
	1:39pm evan (different one): grazie
	1:42pm drr: is orvy Orville Neeley?
	1:43pm efd: @drr it is!
	1:44pm Androu B.: @drr - Did you catch the part about The Skints DIY tour? There was another band on that tour by the name of...ClayPigeon!
	1:44pm Hoboken Jack: Dang, Fred Dellar passed away last year. Sad.
	1:44pm Bri: Ha funny you should say Indiana wants me, I just heard that song before I tuned in!
	1:45pm Carmichael: Moon Martin!
	1:45pm Beast of Boonton: I got this when it came out on vinyl - Still have it
	1:45pm Carmichael: I have his 1st two LPs. Great sound.
	1:45pm Brendan: @woods (12:30) https://archive.org/details/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concert-2022-09-03-wembley-stadium-london-1080p
	1:46pm drr: Androu: better let Clay know so he can get his legal team on that!
	1:46pm katharsis: I have a recording of mysterious piano music off public radio 2006. No luck finding the composer.
	1:47pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Brendan: Thanks!!
	1:47pm Androu B.: Wow, haven't heard Moon Martin for the longest time. Believe it or not, the first time (and only place) I ever heard this artist was on WNEW-FM, in the days when it was a classic rock station.
	1:48pm drr: I've heard this song ("Rolene") once before, on a repeat of American Top 40.
	1:49pm efd: @drr Probably fairly early in the show!
	1:49pm drr: efd: I believe it was the first song played.
	1:53pm Carmichael: Didn't realize Martin died in 2020 of "natural causes."
	1:53pm prof.fuzz: @Pax: contact my program director and we'll set something up! Lots of dollar signs and zeroes. Too many to even count.
	1:53pm Androu B.: RIP Vintage Vinyl
	1:54pm Van: Howdy EFD and everyone!
	1:54pm asheville jon: YES!!! SMAH!!!
	1:54pm Handy Haversack: And lo. I am mediated once again. CNSMAH! Now do it in German!
	1:54pm Androu B.: AIRHORN TIME!!!
	1:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Note: EFD has no annoying horns on Instagram
	1:56pm Hoboken Jack: Oh sweet airhorn, totally making up for your pedestrian mention of the word GAZEBOS.
	1:57pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): True story: we bought a gazebo just a few weeks ago.
	1:57pm Androu B.: Not to be confused with Mzlkypop.
	1:58pm Alvy Singer: @efd--Have you had a chance to listen to the new Uni Boys album-Do It All Next Week? These guys fit nicely next to The Quick, Milk n’ Cookies, and The Shoes.
	1:59pm karlward: I missed the airhorn?
	2:03pm efd: @karlward you did!
	2:04pm efd: this "Heart Of Glass" mix is so mesmerizing, I love it!
	2:04pm efd: @Alvy Not familiar, will check it out
	2:04pm slocker: This is fantastic!
	2:04pm Harktheumpire: Bass VI + tape delay + drum machine = pretty sweet
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Listen within, karlward. It will be there.
	2:05pm BH: "Heart of Glass (Movie Score mix)"
	2:05pm karlward: I listen within and all I hear is the Social Media Roland CompuRhythm 78
	2:06pm drr: this was good but now it is oppressive.
	2:07pm slocker: Yeah may be going on a tad long it's only a 3-hour show.
	2:07pm BH: it kinda does sound like Chris Stein fell asleep with a 70s detective movie on TV the night before composing this
	2:09pm efd: I am happy to devote 3% of the show to that version of "Heart Of Glass!"
	2:10pm efd: (assuming I did the math correctly)
	2:10pm Hoboken Jack: Maybe the Mo-Dettes would know who did the mystery song.
	2:11pm efd: @Jack they might!
	2:12pm Van: I dig this vocalist, and the groove is decent once it got going
	2:15pm Figgsrock: Wow, I write something for work in the morning and EFD plays it in the afternoon.
	2:16pm efd: @Figgsrock spooky!
	2:16pm drr: This Shout tune seems familiar, can't quite place it though.
	2:16pm Rich from Wading River: Upon first hearing this I thought this was Neil Tenant singing
	2:18pm Rich from Wading River: @drr it was in The Animule House movie, I think
	2:18pm Figgsrock: Placebo love their 1985 covers
	2:19pm Androu B.: I guess Placebo is attempting to cash in on their cover of "Running Up That Hill", with that song being a surprise hit all over again.
	2:19pm Andres: Great song. Version is growing on me.
	2:20pm drr: Gazebo, Placebo....let's call the whole thing off.
	2:21pm listener monica: I thought Placebo's version sounds better than the original. (I happened to get to see them live in London. just by chance)
	2:24pm Joe R.: Speaking of Tears for Fears, in the mystery ska song search, I learned that the Tears for Fears guys were in a mod/ska/new wave band called Graduate. I'm guessing some of you knew this but it was a fun discovery for me. www.youtube.com... en.wikipedia.org...
	2:25pm BH: On checking my long abandoned iPod Touch, I have 4 Placebo songs. For What It's Worth (not a cover), Infra-Red, Meds, and Pure Morning.
	2:25pm Andres: Joe R.: Did not know. Nice find!
	2:26pm Joe R.: @andres - thanks!
	2:28pm JetBoy now of Astoria: I enjoy alliteration.
	2:30pm BH: for some reason, I get "Running Down a Dream" vibes from the instrumental sounds of this song?
	2:32pm Andres: I’m eight hours and a border crossing away, not gonna do it, but even I am excited by the mention of fresh stock from a huge collection at the record sale!
	2:32pm G: @JetBoy: you almost always appreciate alliteration?
	2:33pm herb.nyc: Evan said “power pop”. While at library Yest, I saw they had book “go all the way”. About power pop. I read the Ira Elliott chapter. It was inciteful. He made a nice Brit vs ‘merican comment.
	2:33pm JetBoy now of Astoria: @G: Nearly never do I not enjoy alliteration
	2:34pm drr: JetBoy: 'njoy.
	2:34pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great show efd. Hopefully we will see you on the 17th!!!
	2:35pm JetBoy now of Astoria: @drr: nice!
	2:37pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I wonder if Vicki might know who did the mystery song...
	2:37pm Handy Haversack: While canoeing on Lake Cayuga from Ithaca, I got a great picture of the dog posed in front of the Invasive Species Disposal Station, but he doesn't seem to get the joke.
	2:38pm prudy: woods of NH: my thoughts exactly...
	2:43pm johnk77: excellent selections ramones album rocket to russia produced by tony bongiovi & tommy erdelyi
	2:44pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Fantastic tune efd. Thanks!!!
	2:47pm brycepunk1: Absolutely loved your show today. Great music! Thank you :)
	2:47pm Various Julius: hey!
	2:48pm ?: Is Dan Melchior the next Damien Jurado? "Perhaps, " is the only answer
	2:48pm efd: oh hey!!
	2:48pm Carmichael: Thanks Evan!
	2:49pm efd: that "sloppy blues" line makes me laugh
	2:50pm Figgsrock: Oh wow, this Airport 77s might be the song of my summer 2022 just for the lyrical content alone.
	2:50pm Stevel: Haven't heard a TA77 song that I didn't like. Or is it TAP77?
	2:50pm Crosby in KC: @efd: it's funny because it's true
	2:51pm efd: @Various Julius can we get a ruling on the proper initialism of the band name?
	2:51pm Various Julius: I'll pass that along to Andy - he wrote all the words on this. Thanks!
	2:52pm Various Julius: I usually go with A77s myself - may need to run that by the band
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Gotta run. Thanks, efd!
	2:55pm efd: Thanks for listening, everyone!
	2:55pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks EFD for yet another tremendous show! How does he do it, ladies and gentlemen, week after week?!?
	2:56pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for a great show today, Evan!
