♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:08pm efd:

jeez, you go away for a week and all the commenteers abandon the show.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:10pm 12539:

Welcome back, EFD.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:10pm steve:

hi evan!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:10pm efd:

thanks 12539!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:12pm efd:

hi steve!

Wed. 6/20/12 9:14pm PB:

It's too hot to comment (or do anything else for that matter).

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:15pm efd:

fair enough, PB.

hi Cheri, I never doubted you.

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:16pm Julie:

the Funk is back

Wed. 6/20/12 9:17pm Holly in NC:

Evan, we'd never desert. you! Working - here for real in about an hour ;-)

@PB - I feel you. I really don't WANT to go home, my silly fan is not going to cut it tonight.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:17pm Holly in NC:

Hi Julie!
First Wednesthursday!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:17pm Julie:

Holly: Naked, bathtub, ice (and radio). Repeat.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:18pm 12539:

Don't let that radio fall in the tub!

Wed. 6/20/12 9:19pm john:

We're in LA (where, incidentally, it's quite temperate), and in a curious reversal, can comment but not at liberty to listen...welcome back and knock 'em dead, figuratively speaking!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:19pm efd:

Ah, that's more like it! hey Julie, john, and Holly!

Stand by, everybody, for the dramatic reveal of the new playlist colors!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:20pm Julie:

Ohh new colors? Groovy

Wed. 6/20/12 9:20pm Julie's Radio:

Hubba hubba tubba.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:20pm Holly in NC:

@Julie - no tub, but naked, shower, naked, ice, radio, repeat for sure!

Wed. 6/20/12 9:20pm steve:

bathtub full of ice, that's tempting

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:22pm Julie:

There's nothing better than a nice cold shower after a yucky hot day

Wed. 6/20/12 9:22pm Beer:

Wanna bet?

Wed. 6/20/12 9:23pm Holly in NC:

Evan, did you have fun with Ruckus? He kindly gifted me tix to his & Bootsy's show, not realizing our geographic non-propinquity. Hopefully some other lucky person got to enjoy.

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:26pm efd:

Holly, he was super-nice! As was everyone I met on the trip, what a great time.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:28pm 12539:

Yes!

Wed. 6/20/12 9:28pm Andrew Waterloo:

This Dean Carter track is simply too appropriate.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:28pm Joe B:

really digging the current live lineup for Reigning Sound

Wed. 6/20/12 9:29pm Holly in NC:

Nice Dean Carter! And beyond fitting. Ok, here I go...

Hi Cheri, all is as well as can be given mushrooms are going to start sprouting under my bra straps as soon as I step outside

Wed. 6/20/12 9:29pm Joe B:

love Dean carter! almost played this one yesterday!

Wed. 6/20/12 9:29pm boxaroni@yahoo.com:

sizzler n other hot offerings. very nice.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:30pm You:

probably should play here comes Tim Sommer ,love to you e v.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:31pm Holly in NC:

Whoa

Wed. 6/20/12 9:31pm glenn:

huh. mushroom breasts? http://www.flickr.com/photos/drsisyphus/4411872277/

Wed. 6/20/12 9:37pm steve:

king of kong

Wed. 6/20/12 9:41pm Joe D.:

Evan "I'm not really what you'd call a "record collector"" Davies

Wed. 6/20/12 9:41pm glenn:

thanks for properly calling it vacation, not "vacay".

Wed. 6/20/12 9:42pm flashback:

50 pounds of records is a lot

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 9:43pm efd:

glenn, I am not a fan of the word "vacay." Not at all.

Joe D., I'm a record buyer, not a record collector.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:44pm glenn:

i'm not sure which is stupider, vacay or convo.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:47pm Joe D.:

Fair enough! Fair enough. That's an important distinction to make, says the guy who spent all last week's discretionary funds on the first 3 DK records and The Frogs "It's Only Right and Natural"

Wed. 6/20/12 9:49pm PB:

I still spend a large percentage of my discretionary income on music (and have been doing so for about 45 years). Absolutely nothing I'd rather spend my money on.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:50pm Beer:

Uh, discretionary income? Obviously you're not planning properly.

Wed. 6/20/12 9:51pm steve:

is it bad that i don't know what discretionary funds are?

Wed. 6/20/12 9:52pm steve:

im gonna say yes

Wed. 6/20/12 9:53pm PB:

Fancy way of saying "spending money". Studied too much economics in college.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:03pm nixxon:

eek, this is amazing!

Wed. 6/20/12 10:03pm nixxon:

er, was. talk about bad timing...

Wed. 6/20/12 10:05pm steve:

cat rescuers are the best!

Wed. 6/20/12 10:06pm SteveL:

Just got dark here in the great Midwest. Kinda throws off the internal efd clock.

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 10:09pm efd:

Well at least it's not going to stay light any later than it did tonight!

Wed. 6/20/12 10:09pm Joe D.:

fyi the Solstice will be at -exactly- 11:09. Feels important to say, for some reason.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:09pm Holly in NC:

@Glenn: I'll see your mushroom breasts, and raise you mushroom ...orifices! http://youtu.be/789he-8T_-E NOT a joke, station has apologized for reporter's naivety.

Cat rescuers rule.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:11pm SteveL:

Not sure I want to see anyone's mushroom breasts, although, as a man, I probably do.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:11pm steve:

lol, thanks Holly

Wed. 6/20/12 10:16pm SteveL:

My first hearing of OFF was on the Primavera-cast. Pretty impressive, ESPECIALLY for an old guy. The edge has not dulled.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:18pm Joe D.:

Dannnniel Pewjol everybody!

Cheri I haven't not NOT loved Evan's show since before AFTER it was cool

Wed. 6/20/12 10:18pm nixxon:

I don't not love the show less than you, if that helps...

Wed. 6/20/12 10:20pm steve:

unfortunately... my thoughts exactly

Wed. 6/20/12 10:20pm SteveL:

Holly: That was a delightfully disturbing link. Wonder how many times the reporter washed her hands after learning the truth?

Wed. 6/20/12 10:21pm some other guy:

you can totally just call it "four".

Wed. 6/20/12 10:22pm Barkevious Shabazz:

You can just call yrself "me."

Wed. 6/20/12 10:23pm Holly in NC:

@SteveL - That poor young woman, I really do feel for her. A gazillion?

Wed. 6/20/12 10:27pm Droll:

Isn't the real mystery in that video how the "meaty object" ended up 80m (262 ft) underground? I still think there's a story there.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:28pm hellosmith:

yo I hate it too a little bit

Wed. 6/20/12 10:29pm steve:

i used to despise summer, now that i have a/c and work from home its pretty nice

Wed. 6/20/12 10:31pm steve:

you know what i do hate though? pants. these things are driving me nuts.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:31pm Jered Weaver:

I don't know about this new PIL record, dude.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:32pm Holly in NC:

@Droll - true. Horny miner?

New Nice Face was lovely.

I miss John L's younger voice, but nothing to be done about that. Oddly murky production though!

Wed. 6/20/12 10:33pm SteveL:

Pants? Never wear 'em. Could explain a lot.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:33pm PB:

Always loved the Sex Pistols but never "got" PIL.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:34pm Joe D.:

that PiL song was actually surprisingly good

RIYL: supporting the lifestyle John Lydon has become accustomed to

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 10:37pm efd:

I'm not going to waste my time hating something I have no control over.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:37pm Droll:

Holly, I've heard about half that album and also though his voice showed his senior stature in the industry. I'll stick to the PiL albums I already have.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:37pm steve:

Droll, that is a great question about the 'object'.

so that vid just made it to youtube yesterday? lets all hope there's a follow up.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:38pm Holly in NC:

@PB - you might be pleasantly surprised if you ever choose to revisit metalbox/second edition.
@Cheri, you KNOW I HATE summer more than anything. So now I'm going to try & think of something more pleasant, like the Fat Boys.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:40pm SteveL:

Time to vote for best band name:
Horny Miner
Meaty Object.

Begin now.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:40pm PB:

Holly, I actually own Second Edition. Based on your recommendation. I'll give it another shot. Haven't listened to it in years. This old school rap is real summer music.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:42pm Joe D.:

it sure is, Mitt

Wed. 6/20/12 10:43pm Kendall!:

I thought Philly Boy Roy was joking when he said Romney was calling it Wawa's. I'm so very disappointed.

BY THE WAY

Finally got a Wawa's up in North Jersey. At the end of 280 in Parsippany.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:44pm Joe D.:

you mean the BEGINNING of 280

Wed. 6/20/12 10:44pm Barkevious Shabazz:

Roy Zeigler knows how to say WaWa ya dope.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:44pm SteveL:

Life is amazing when you're Mitt.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:45pm Holly in NC:

Horny Miner's Meaty Object?
Perhaps too reminiscent of Atiel Pink's whatever

Evan, I love you

Wed. 6/20/12 10:45pm hellosmith:

mittens romney

Wed. 6/20/12 10:45pm Kendall!:

From my perspective it's the END of 280 and that's what it will always be in my head.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:46pm Skirkie:

The Parsippany Wawa is a 40 mile round trip from me.

...so I've only gone there a few times.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:46pm Droll:

I hated summer so much I moved to Seattle where summer looks like this (I just took this photo from my patio)
http://rotang.com/seattle_efd.jpg

Wed. 6/20/12 10:47pm Barkevious Shabazz:

I prefer "Les Wa."

Wed. 6/20/12 10:48pm steve:

wow, seattle looks just like nyc, if you replace all the green with murky gray and brown

Wed. 6/20/12 10:48pm Kendall!:

The Fat Boys - named for one of the rap group names tried in Chris Rock's movie CB4? Or vice versa?

Wed. 6/20/12 10:50pm sudo:

It's been ages since I read that, but I can envision it perfectly and am cracking up thinking about it. Hilarious.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:51pm Barkevious Shabazz:

Recommended if you like rubber vaganus.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:51pm Holly in NC:

@Droll, that is stunning.
You are VERY fortunate!

Here's what *I* look like right now: bit.ly/NatMZB (scroll to Ms. Ross)

Wed. 6/20/12 10:51pm PB:

Speaking of the HoZac label, the Radar Eyes CD is great.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:54pm Holly in NC:

???!!!! Holy grail!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 10:55pm efd:

There is a Wawa opening in Woodbridge this fall!

sudo, it pleases me no end that you got that Tintin reference!

Wed. 6/20/12 10:56pm SteveL:

"Happy how do you do to you. and AWAAAAAYYYYYY!"

True radio superhero material.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:56pm Droll:

Steve, You don't want to see this place the other 9 months of the year. Replace all the green with gray and wet.
Holly, Great Dokken look, but the glass full of octane is blocking your pearls.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:57pm hellosmith:

i also love tintin. and i love what is coming through my speakers right now.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:57pm Holly in NC:

Not sure that's same intro...I think Harry sounds more perky introing "We Can Make It". Doesn't matter, totally cool.

Wed. 6/20/12 10:58pm Joe B:

Sights return to WFMU July 3!

Wed. 6/20/12 10:59pm Holly in NC:

"You" can make it. I'm very inclusive ;-)

Wed. 6/20/12 11:00pm Holly in NC:

Do you know how much I LOVE this song??!!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:00pm efd:

Holly, we may have to do an A/B test!

Joe, thanks for the date! Knew they were coming up, wasn't sure when exactly.

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:01pm efd:

btw you'd better have food for them! I spoiled them last time.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:02pm Joe D.:

says here that You Can Make it was also featured on the 83 Pebbles box set... wonder if it has the same intro?

also Evan do you have any insight into how these In-Sound interviews were recorded? They're pretty obviously not phone interviews, but they're not obviously not in-studio taped live either.

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:03pm efd:

Holly, that definitely sounded like the same "thank you for being with us!"

Wed. 6/20/12 11:03pm Holly in NC:

@efd - yes, for sure

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:08pm efd:

thanks for listening, cheri.

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:09pm efd:

Joe D., I haven't read anything but I'd guess that the bands being interviewed went into some nearby radio station or studio and were given questions to answer, then HH read back those questions and the answers were edited in.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:09pm Holly in NC:

Go Penelope!

Wed. 6/20/12 11:10pm Barkevious Shabazz:

The American in me says "WaWas."

Wed. 6/20/12 11:10pm SteveL:

Is there a CD reissue for The Avengers? Such a sharp band.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:10pm Danne D:

Hi Funk Fans :)
Hi EFD :)

Um, let's go Dolphins?!?

Wed. 6/20/12 11:17pm Danne D:

Hmm 6/30 would be a fun day to win a show for for me :)

Wed. 6/20/12 11:18pm Danne D:

Happy Birthday Brother Davies :)

Wed. 6/20/12 11:19pm Holly in NC:

@SteveL -I have a CDPresents CD reissue of the Avengers, but, wow, it's really old. s/b easy to find online though!

Wed. 6/20/12 11:27pm Danne D:

How's it going Holly?

Anyone else get a craving for Howard Johnson's tonight?

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:28pm efd:

oh! Now I get the Dolphins reference.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:29pm Holly in NC:

1989 to be exact $17.74 at discogs, which seems pricey.

Oh heck! Water just reissued , $11.42 used @ Amazon & reissue is 2 discs - I need to upgrade!!!!

Wed. 6/20/12 11:32pm Holly in NC:

@Danne, you're making me choke again!
And yes, I would kill for some fried clams & ice cream.
When Adam Ant played the Milford CT jai alai fronton, he ate at the Milford HoJOs. That is all. I was there.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:33pm Barkevious Shabazz:

Big fan of Kim Shattuck. These muffs, erm...

Wed. 6/20/12 11:33pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I see that sports artist LeRoy Neiman has passed away.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:35pm Danne D:

@Ken :(

Wed. 6/20/12 11:38pm Danne D:

I remember volunteering on the MS Bike Tour about a decade ago and the half-way point was at "Seasons" or "Legends" or whatever the hell they had renamed the old Playboy Club up in Sussex county. I remember that literally everything was vintage probably from the opening of the place. Carpenting on the walls. Paneling and Lattice everywhere. Burnt orange and other earth tones dominated. Stucco. And of course there still were the Leroy Neiman prints in the rooms as well :)

Wed. 6/20/12 11:38pm Danne D:

I bet that even in 2012 it probably STILL looks the same in that place. Probably a great place for an EFD starting with the 70s meet-up if ever there was one :)

Wed. 6/20/12 11:43pm steve:

you've done it again efd! as someone who listens to 80s disco pop and loves all vocoder related music i am baffled to have never heard of this disco pop band named vocoder

Wed. 6/20/12 11:45pm Danne D:

with #ThingsToNeverAskADJ trending I couldn't help myself.

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:46pm efd:

steve, credit must go to the Dark Entries label for digging that up and reissuing it, and to Brian Turner for putting it in the new bin where I found it!

Wed. 6/20/12 11:46pm steve:

bad ass, thanks evan! gonna have to order a copy.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:48pm Danne D:

It's bad form to clothesline an over-caffeinated child at a Starbucks, right?

(Don't worry I'm not really going to clothesline the kid - but seriously - these people wonder why the kids acting hyper at 11:48?...)

Wed. 6/20/12 11:49pm Danne D:

Whoa EFD! You gave away the big secret that is usually only told each marathon?

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:54pm efd:

the name of the song isn't a secret; I only play the full song at marathon time, though.

Wed. 6/20/12 11:57pm Danne D:

@efd I like maximum mystery in EFD world :) You're like an oracle sir.

Anyway, thanks for a great show as always EFD :) And have a good night Funk Fans :D

Wed. 6/20/12 11:59pm Holly in NC:

Thank you, Evan!

♥ Wed. 6/20/12 11:59pm efd:

thanks for listening, everyone! It's great to be back!

Thu. 6/21/12 12:00am hellosmith:

@efd I don't usually listen at this hour but fantastic set, thanks!

Thu. 6/21/12 12:00am steve:

see you next week evan!

Fri. 6/22/12 10:00am calzone!:

Great show EFD! I myself was/is also a big fan of the 'Open Up Your Door' compilation, the Richard and The Young Lion tracks, and played them frequently on my radio show @ WBNY in Buffalo. Glad to hear the original Harry Harrison mix and the missing puzzle pieces!
