	9:04pm Uncle Michael: ITALICS!
	9:05pm Sproutsonic: Are we in for an Evan "Snake" Davies takeover????

	9:13pm mariano: Hey, efd, Crew, fellow italicized ones!

	9:16pm Handy Haversack: Mariano! Kat! McGroovey! ultradamno! Everyone! This was the least FMU I have had on a weekday in so long. Unacceptable!
	9:18pm ultradamno: Hiya Handy!
	9:19pm McGroovey: I thought I was going to go 2-for-2 and guess that Chez Maxim's is side 1, track 2, but it's side 1, track 1. I hold my head in shame. But I did guess that Bang Bang is side 1, track 1, so I'm 2 for 3.
	9:20pm McGroovey: *teenage friends I did have more than one friend when I was a teenager. Really I did.
	9:21pm efd: this is a good skill, @McGroovey
	9:22pm Julie M: Good Wednesday evening Evan and all.
	9:22pm prof.fuzz: howdy efd! howdy handy! howdy all y'all!
	9:23pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, Scott, McGroove, Handy, Mariano, all headbangers!
	9:23pm listener 126464: Hi efd, everyone. Italics do it better.
	9:23pm listener 126464: Cheers Jack!
	9:23pm Hoboken Jack: italicized 126464!
	9:24pm ultradamno: You could make those italics bold though. Makes a statement
	9:24pm efd: ok, I finally got wise to the italic issue. Sorry everyone!
	9:24pm prof.fuzz: underlined too
	9:25pm mariano: Handy, what's up, ese?
	9:26pm Michael in Montclair: I remembered seeing clips Cheetah K-Tel commercials on back in the 70s and would get them mixed up with Heart. They Hammond sisters seemed like Australia’s version of the Wilson sisters.
	9:26pm wolfingham: Evening EFD! Evening all!
	9:26pm Alex of Chicago: lol. Is there an <em> tag before "authors of Nöthin’ But a Good Time". Silly.
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! prof.fuzz, on seeing your name, I immediately put on my New Model Army mask and went to check the mail -- and a Very Special Envelope has arrived! Thanks, pal! Mariano! All-day antiracism training -- exhausting! Followed by a two-hour organizing meeting. But the leftover enchiladas are warming up right now, the domestication of the dog proceeds apace, and the vodka is kicking in! Oh, and the tunes are rocking out!
	9:28pm McGroovey: Jeff Porcaro was on every major-label record in the seventies. It was the law.
	9:29pm McGroovey: I decided to open an orange instead of a beer.
	9:29pm prof.fuzz: @handy: glad it made it to you safely. enjoy!
	9:30pm mr_donutsu: Hardd Rokkin outta the gate!!!
	9:30pm efd: @Alex an <i> tag, actually. With a closing </a> tag. As one does.
	9:30pm mariano: Everything I type seems so emphatic.
	9:30pm Alex of Chicago: oh no. "died at Humana Hospital-West Hills on the evening of August 5, 1992, at the age of 38, after falling ill from spraying insecticide in the yard of his Hidden Hills home"
	9:30pm Kurty: Good evening Evan Funk and company! Really enjoying this set! Happy Wednesday
	9:31pm McGroovey: Seventies rock songs all have the same lyrics. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Well, OK, maybe a little. But they also mostly have this same guitar solo.
	9:31pm Various Julius: Kim Mitchell production!
	9:32pm devlawn: This set has me wondering if EFD has ever DJ'd at a strip club. jk.
	9:32pm McGroovey: Oh, Devil's Deck is 1982? Well, same same
	9:32pm Michael in Montclair: With this Coney Hatch tune, I believe that EFD has either met or is very close to meeting Canada’s minimum CanCon requirement.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: Best bed music in the biz! Emphasis added.
	9:34pm McGroovey: Kim Mitchell is still a big live draw in upstate NY. Well, pre-COVID.
	9:34pm listener 126464: Almost ready to rock. Looking for a shirt.
	9:35pm Scott67: G'day Evan & Other Funkers! Rocked & loaded here mate! 😎🤙🌏☀️
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: Doing the math and hoping it's beer o'clock in Scott Central Time!
	9:36pm winston legthigh: ur the best handy haversack! ten thumbs up emoji!!!!!!!!!!
	9:37pm Scott67: Cheetahs formed in Melbourne 1975 Evan.
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: You're going to make me cry, winston. Rock tears, but still. Hey, friend. Great, GREAT to see you.
	9:38pm ultradamno: Why could Rachel Sweet gender switch And Then (S)he Kissed Me, it could have brought it all the way around...
	9:40pm Scott67: Handy, you had me at beer cobber! 1:40pm & Toucans in. 🍺😎🤙
	9:40pm efd: ah, thank you @Scott67!
	9:40pm luka: THAT’S where i knew that name. i read a lot of Guitar World.
	9:41pm winston legthigh: any word from rachelbobachel?
	9:42pm ultradamno: If "frisco" is good enough for Hardee's
	9:44pm Handy Haversack: We call it "order of battle" in D&D, efd. Which is also my 80s hard rock band name. I have heard nothing, winston.
	9:45pm efd: @luka that's crazy about your Enuff Z'Nuff connection!
	9:45pm J Boogie: I love early Quiet Riot with Randy Rhoads. And yeah, “Frisco” is up there with “Hollyweird”. Only tourists call it that
	9:45pm winston legthigh: hey scott67! if ur into wine theres a nice yalumba white 2019 viogner for around 10 usd from down under.
	9:45pm efd: @Handy, I like it!
	9:47pm dug: this interview is so cool
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: "We nailed the one that looked like Twisted Sister" still one of the best West Coast vs. East Coast movie lines ever. You made my list, Lost Boys.
	9:48pm winston legthigh: thanks efd, g'night all!
	9:48pm Hoboken Jack: Yeah Tom! Doing Hoboken proud.
	9:48pm efd: thanks for checking in, winston!
	9:48pm luka: @evan south chicago suburbs coming of age was wild. via that same uncle, some Styx members showed at my grandfather’s wake.
	9:49pm luka: no Damn Yankees pun intended there.
	9:50pm brycepunk1: Evan, I love you and your show. And thank you for interviews like this!
	9:50pm efd: ha!
	9:50pm luka: that g’n’r fashion callout is very important!!
	9:51pm efd: we get back to that later!
	9:51pm luka: one local record shop had Warrant’s first LP on the wall for $70 last week. majors just weren’t pressing that in 1989.
	9:51pm efd: thank you brycepunk!!
	9:52pm luka: (i got mine for way cheaper)
	9:52pm J Boogie: I love the Crüe but Vince is like a slice of bologna
	9:53pm Scott67: G'day Winston, I'm mainly a beer bloke. But we do have some great wines at our disposal here. I have a case of South Australian Cab Shiraz cleanskins I picked up for 2 bucks a bottle. 🍺😎🤙🍷
	9:53pm J Boogie: That chorus riff is so good
	9:53pm luka: when the “HEY” hits...
	9:54pm Scott67: Night Winston! ✌😎
	9:54pm ultradamno: Frisco was also good enough for Lee Ving...
	9:55pm Scott67: G'day Madge mate! 😎🤙
	9:56pm J Boogie: Great show EFD. Thanks for doing this.
	9:56pm efd: we didn't touch on them that much during the interview but there is A LOT of Dokken discussion in the book
	9:56pm efd: Thanks J Boogie! Happy to have the opportunity to do it.
	9:58pm J Boogie: I’ve always loved this music. Grew up on it. Never had any shame about it, despite that grunge thing
	9:58pm Handy Haversack: K8: "Who's this, Dokken?" HH: "Yup." K8: "Ha! So good!"
	9:58pm sufferwords: i was in Hollywood through all this- it was hilarious- true some of the jams kicked ass- but the city was beset by hordes of poodle cuts- see Decline of Western Civilization- that said any movement that is centered on music is a worthy life pursuit- more power to these poseurs
	9:59pm J Boogie: Mother Love Bone were basically a “hair metal band”. Same for Green River. Alice In Chains weren’t far off either.
	10:00pm luka: that netflix Twisted Sister doc is very crucial for those who haven’t indulged.
	10:00pm HyperDose: Hey Funkmasters!
	10:00pm ultradamno: Well, when I saw Alice In Chains they were opening for Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, so I'll buy that.
	10:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...good a place as any to jump in ! :D ...
	10:02pm nickybones: Hey EFD/all! Comin' in late but comin' in hot.
	10:03pm luka: @ultradamno what was the set order when you saw that show
	10:03pm efd: happy to have you at any temperature, @nickybones!
	10:04pm efd: hiya RRN63
	10:04pm ultradamno: Slayer Megadeth Anthrax
	10:05pm sufferwords: i did a gig with GnR - halloween- we dressed up in spandex with Spinal Tap cucumbers- they were in the mirror with Hair Net- we scared them- we were not very scary
	10:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mötley Crüe's 1st album was different than their others. Challenging to rewind to the pre-Grunge world - but it was there !! :D
	10:06pm luka: as in Anthrax headliner? if so, that’s the ideal lineup of that tour.
	10:06pm ultradamno: I don't know how any of other ones could have followed Slayer, they were an assault. But I think they did juggle the top three around.
	10:06pm luka: (for me)
	10:06pm nickybones: i find it interesting that the hair bands were already giving up the glam aspect by 1990. nirvana gets the credit, but they were all toning down the look a bit by '90, if my memory serves.
	10:07pm ultradamno: No other way around, Anthrax were the first after Alice. They were better than Megadeth, in my opinion though.
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Rev Rab! Current bands could do worse than taking fashion cues from Control Top.
	10:07pm Scott67: G'day HyperD! 😎🤙
	10:08pm efd: very good for WFMU's license that he did not go into this actual story
	10:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being 57 y.o. & having had a brother deeply into Rawk ~9 years older than me : I remember it was called Glitter Rawk in the earlier 70s - & Glam only later here...
	10:09pm nickybones: i really can't wait for this book to arrive.
	10:10pm efd: less than two weeks!
	10:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you think Rawk is about Funky Behavior - Crüe did that for sure...
	10:11pm nickybones: woo! gonna be watching that mailbox. haha.
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: efd: K8 has two questions: Do you know a good documentary/movie/book about groupies? And: will you play Ratt?
	10:14pm efd: question 2 will be answered shortly. I'm going to open up question 1 to the floor, I don't know of any offhand.
	10:15pm nickybones: isn't there that "I'm With The Band" book?
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sufferwords - Decline of Western Civ. Pt. II perfectly mirrors Spinal Tap - but is a real Documentary. Cannot be missed.
	10:16pm efd: oh yeah, Pamela Des Barres. Haven't read it but I bet it's worth checking out.
	10:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good read.
	10:17pm ?: Love it, 80s metal on WFMU
	10:17pm J Boogie: Haven’t listened to QR in ages. God they were f*cking great
	10:17pm Handy Haversack: Follow-up from K8: Major women in metal past Lita Ford and Vixen? Can you (and the hivemind) fill in any gaps? I should mention that Kate's pretty much fave karaoke song is the Lita/Ozzy duet "Close My Eyes Forever." When she can find a Lita. I should also mention how much you rock, efd! Holy CRAP, so happy to be here!
	10:17pm luka: BANG YOUR HEAD
	10:17pm J Boogie: Dubrows voice brings me right back
	10:18pm Tome: still liked, liking like,, Hades <> !
	10:18pm J Boogie: It’s a shame the Darkness didn’t really translate on this side of the Atlantic. That band was really doing it right. And no, it wasn’t at all “hair metal”. More Cheap Trick and Queen than anything
	10:19pm nickybones: @Handy Girlschool comes to mind.
	10:20pm luka: top Ratt choice
	10:21pm J Boogie: There were a lot of all female rock bands during this era. Also Doro Pesch
	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Yes, thanks, nickybones! Hey there, question 2. Glad to see you're BACK FOR MORE!
	10:21pm efd: I mean, "Round And Round" is untouchable, of course, but I wanted to go a little deeper (relatively speaking)
	10:21pm J Boogie: Ratt Out of the Cellar was huge for me.
	10:22pm luka: “body talk” is also an all time hair raiser
	10:23pm McGroovey: @Handy About groups? I remember a book called I'm With the Band -- possibly by Bebe Buell?
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Woosh! Getting out of High School about then. Had one friend - couple years younger than me - we shared enthusiasm for playing RawkGittar - but he was almost 100% Metal. I tried Special Beat Service on him - it just seemed like seeds on stone. He worshipped Sabbath. He was right about that...
	10:23pm J Boogie: Round and round has been ruined by that local AM talk station in LA... they use it every half hour as bumper music for their news updates. For years and years. I’m resentful
	10:24pm McGroovey: Oh, someone actually figured it out before I thought of it. I'm behind on my comment-reading.
	10:24pm Tome: !<>!
	10:24pm luka: yes. YES.
	10:24pm efd: oh wow, was not aware of that J Boogie!
	10:24pm Andrew S: i think the first concert i saw may have been ratt opening for ozzy. Im not sure because there were a blur of them that year
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: I have been loving the (relative) profusion of Sabbath lately on FMU. Maybe it's the big boxset reissues, but DAMN, it all still sounds go good.
	10:25pm nickybones: @Handy I'm stoked how good the Vol IV one sounds.
	10:25pm J Boogie: Yep. I wish I could recall the station ID. It’s been a while.
	10:26pm efd: careful what you wish for
	10:26pm Scott Williams: Handy & K8: Wendy O.Williams
	10:26pm J Boogie: I hope Aerosmith gets a mention. To my mind, they are The Godfather’s of the Sunset Strip sound. Faster Pussycat, for instance.
	10:27pm J Boogie: *its whatever AM station that airs Coast to Coast AM
	10:27pm McGroovey: Bebe Buell's book is called Rebel Heart.
	10:27pm prof.fuzz: This brings back a lot of memories. My roommate and bandmate went off the deep end for these kind of bands. I was more into Black Flag, so we compromised and listened to a lot of Motorhead and Sabbath when we were together.
	10:27pm Tome: Hades
	10:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he was an Italian kid with fairly well-to-do parents - had a great Gittar & toys yerkow... I tried to turn him on to pot & acid & open his intelligence & all that stuff... Good guy... What this stuff brings back for me...
	10:28pm Scott Williams: I liked Pamela Des Barres' 1st book (she's written a ton of 'em), and another one where she interviews other famous groupies. I liked Bebe Buell's as well. I wish there was something more investigative and 3rd person out there.
	10:28pm Andrew S: wow i just tuned in but ll of thee bands were my first concert expeirinces. Motley crue opening for anvil at a hockey arena in quebec, Wasp headlining when Mteallica were third string, Twisted Sister opeing for iron maiden
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SW - right ?!
	10:28pm Handy Haversack: Sceleton Scott: yeah! Thanks, pals.
	10:29pm DouglasInDallas: Of all the bands that would come into Bill's Records & Tapes when I worked as a teenager, the most attention-starved was Cinderella who would come in wearing full length leather coats over lace and zebra print and two foot high hair (in the summer) pretend to be reading magazines but were just trying to get people to ask who they were. Lol
	10:29pm Andrew S: not for anvil, for Accept
	10:29pm Andrew S: who doesnt get their Anvil and Accept mixed up
	10:29pm J Boogie: Totally... these bands worked their asses off
	10:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Andrew S - seeing those units then was probly heavy ! I was pretty into Maiden for a minute...
	10:30pm Andrew S: Me too it was fleeting but it was very formative
	10:31pm J Boogie: Please play Down Boys! Warrant were great. Sorely underrated.
	10:31pm J Boogie: The first record is where it’s at
	10:32pm efd: J Boogie, I don't want to give away the first song I already had planned for the next break, but it rhymes with "Frown noise"
	10:33pm J Boogie: I saw CC at Albertsons in Los Feliz once. I almost dropped my cat litter
	10:33pm J Boogie: YEEEEEEE! Thanks EFD!
	10:33pm J Boogie: Turning that WAY up
	10:34pm efd: I hope you said "CC, pick up that lit-ter and TALK TO ME"
	10:34pm J Boogie: Hahahahaha
	10:35pm J Boogie: Enuff Z Nuff are a favorite. They were totally different sounding
	10:35pm Andrew S: There's a guy named Andrew Vincent who wrote a song called "grade 4" that nailed the nostagia of that beautiful era for me. The rugby pants, the posters, you're never as emotionally attached to bands or probabky even music as you werer when you were a youbg teeneger
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yerknow - PostModern - it's embarrassing to be Rawkist more than half the time... but RawkGittar is - my matrix I come from I guess you'd say... Fortunately - not having to Choose is also PostModern...
	10:36pm Tome: L-amour was fun ,, for a while <>
	10:37pm J Boogie: A lot of that pay to play shit is still rampant in LA. Coming from Boston, it baffled me.
	10:38pm J Boogie: Ok now time to rock
	10:38pm Handy Haversack: K8 says pay-to-play is still quite a thing here in NYC.
	10:38pm luka: “down boys” rips forever
	10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PostReaganism...
	10:39pm J Boogie: Forever. Choruses like this don’t exist anymore
	10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a nation of Gene Simmons...
	10:39pm luka: RIP Jani
	10:40pm efd: lots of air drumming going on in Studio E(FD) tonight.
	10:40pm Scott Williams: I never went there, but anyone remember the Cricket Club in (I think) Irvington NJ, right on the GSP?
	10:41pm J Boogie: Puffy white high tops. Bike shorts.
	10:41pm nickybones: YES. I still love this record. haha.
	10:41pm J Boogie: Yeah RIP Jani. So sad. Wasn’t just “the cherry pie guy” to me
	10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Death of the Chorus : switchedonpop.com...
	10:41pm prof.fuzz: @handy: pay-to-play was a thing in a number of the deep ellum clubs before the plague. a number of those venues have since closed.
	10:42pm J Boogie: Skid Row were legit
	10:42pm luka: ok, let’s talk Skid Row. this album cooks. but Slave To The Grind is CRAZY
	10:42pm McGroovey: I've never been in a band that had to pay to play, but I think the most I've gotten paid is %-of-door($20)+beer+dinner.
	10:42pm Zabadak: Both Skid Row records are SO good!
	10:42pm J Boogie: How many licks does it take to get to the center of this tune
	10:42pm efd: I am in favor of just about any song where the band shouts out their name
	10:42pm nickybones: true true @luka. my mom made me return the tape because of the "Get the Fuck Out" title. haha.
	10:43pm luka: also one of the best SNL performances EVER
	10:43pm J Boogie: Yeah man, Skid Row were rad.
	10:43pm Handy Haversack: Deep. Ellum. Blues!
	10:43pm J Boogie: Sebastian seems like a fun dude too
	10:43pm Zabadak: Exceptional show this week EFD! Gonna have to download this one for future enjoyment.
	10:43pm Andrew S: @efd i think blues explosion probably took the cake for that
	10:43pm luka: “monkey business” with keefer sutherland hosting lol
	10:44pm J Boogie: I used to have to hide my metal tapes
	10:44pm nickybones: i remember muting the curses all over Appetite for Destruction. got quite good at it.
	10:45pm prof.fuzz: @efd and @andrew s: The Fall were pretty good at that, and The Cool Greenhouse are giving them a run for the money on self-references in song.
	10:45pm McGroovey: I'm overdosing on gated reverb snare.
	10:45pm Zabadak: KIX! Such a forgotten gem
	10:45pm loveless: I worked with a woman who was the #1 fan of S. Bach (and would gossip about his wife). She would follow them everywhere. I grew to like them too.
	10:46pm Handy Haversack: Alexa, tell prof.fuzz he's correct.
	10:46pm luka: @nickybones oh for the days of clean/dirty albums.
	10:47pm J Boogie: In some ways, Alice In Chains were just Skid Row but with heroin
	10:47pm efd: @prof.fuzz, very true!
	10:47pm prof.fuzz: i deeply regret not making a "radio friendly" version of "owls"...
	10:48pm J Boogie: What was the KIX single? Don’t Close Your Eyes?
	10:48pm J Boogie: Cinderella don’t get talked about enough. Same with the Bulletboys. Sorry I’m having a rush of flashbacks
	10:48pm efd: there is a lot of Skid Row content in the book.
	10:48pm Zabadak: Memories of listening to “The Metal Zone” on Friday nights on WHEB
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The relation of Band & Audience in Metal is a great & powerful thing. You can feel that - & a singalong Chorus goes with it. Anthem by numbers... The cynical part of me thinks they worked so hard because they were materialists. Everybody keeps score in different ways... Of course - the Music Biz was radically different then. (Yes?? No??) For all this talk of competition & trying to distinguish themselves - it has th patina of sameness to me... Their strenuous desperation seems a compensation for not having ideas or much to say to me... like HipHop when it to being nothing but talking about how bad they are... But still - they're Rawking hard, right ?...
	10:49pm efd: Cinderalla too
	10:51pm Zabadak: J Boogie, all astute observations
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The shorthand is always that GnR were transitional...
	10:53pm Scott Williams: Remember when Sebastian Bach joined the Frogs? youtu.be... Oh, Keenan Thompson was there too.
	10:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I won a copy of a Highway Chile album (Storybook Heroes) from a local radio station back then. 80s metal, but not sure if it's hair metal or not.
	10:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More shorthand : Grunge = Punk + Metal - & how you're going to play them against / into each other... Stoner Metal (Doom &tc.) never became a National Movement in the Charts - tho' it survives...
	10:54pm Zabadak: Just preordered this book on Audible— can’t wait to read it
	10:55pm luka: yeah, this book is gonna be mandatory reading.
	10:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Glam celebrates - Grunge bemoans...
	10:56pm J Boogie: Nirvana killed hair metal. Courtney Love killed Nirvana
	10:56pm efd: there is a really funny Sebastian Bach story in the book that I just spent about 5 minutes trying to type out, but you really need the context that leads up to it. But trust me, it's funny.
	10:56pm J Boogie: Sebastian with the Frogs???
	10:57pm Handy Haversack: Did Lollapalooza county-fair an entie genre? (With the given: Nirvana rocks! Now I want to listen to three hours of Nirvana!)
	10:57pm ultradamno: And she had pretty metal hair, coincidence?
	10:57pm J Boogie: Nirvana are pretty undeniable
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy that's articulate.
	10:58pm loveless: Okay, the book has moved to the top of my to-be-ordered list.
	10:58pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab, so was what you said. I'm shorthanding back atcha.
	10:59pm Andrew S: omg i would never have known about that S. BAch/Frogs meeting thats crazy thanks for that
	10:59pm J Boogie: Def Leppard is sweet sweet candy to my earholes
	10:59pm J Boogie: Hysteria is so wild sounding. It sounded futuristic then and still does (to me) now
	10:59pm Handy Haversack: OH MAN, K8 has been waiting for someone to say Def Leppard!
	11:00pm Zabadak: Pyromania
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: About DefLeppard - always thot - if you think mixing Metal & Pop that Charts is easy - be my guest.
	11:01pm Zabadak: That Mutt Lang shimmer
	11:01pm J Boogie: That is definitely THE record but the Hysteria tour with Queensryche was really when they arrived mass scale in my world
	11:01pm J Boogie: And i still standby Operation: Mindcrime. Great record
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but do I need DL ? No.
	11:02pm J Boogie: I agree Rabbit
	11:02pm ultradamno: I think a lot of the grunge intolerance of hair metal is that grunge was largely populated by guys at loose ends after the hardcore/thrash speed burnout happened and still had that anti-rock dogma but were simultaneously relapsing to their old Sabbath albums.
	11:02pm luka: Hysteria had like eight singles. and not one of them was “gods of war”. completely unhinged.
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: Wait: efd was e"s"d the whole time??!!
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ultrad true.
	11:03pm efd: oh shit, COVER BLOWN!
	11:03pm prof.fuzz: @ultraD: totally agree
	11:03pm J Boogie: Yes: again I think Aerosmith and Cheap Trick (the two greatest American rock bands of the mid to late 70s IMO) kind of birthed a lot of the 80s hard rock sound. Aerosmith even takes some credit for some of Metallica’s sound... IMO. See Nobody’s Fault
	11:03pm nickybones: another great interview, efd!
	11:03pm Scott Williams: Buying this book. Thanks Evan!
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like the Punks were all steeped in Glitter(Glam) & so on...
	11:04pm prof.fuzz: @efd: very enjoyable interview. thanks. again.
	11:04pm Chop Scott: Another great feature program EFD--Thanks!
	11:04pm Zabadak: Extend that lineage back a bit farther and you have Big Star and The Beatles influencing Cheap Trick...
	11:04pm luka: my walls were covered with Poison pinups from Metal Edge.
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Here's a link to buy/preorder the book at everyone's favorite Jersey City and Brooklyn independent bookstore: shop.wordbookstores.com...
	11:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe the next April 1 show, three hours of metal duet ballads? Think Ozzy & Lita.
	11:05pm efd: thanks so much everyone, glad you enjoyed it!
	11:05pm efd: That's a no from me, KenFHP
	11:05pm J Boogie: Luka. I agree. But that’s 8 more singles that charred more solidly than Pyromania. They were huge with Hysteria and growing up with that left a big impression. To my 4th grade mind they were gods
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes great interview !
	11:05pm J Boogie: Charted
	11:05pm Scott Williams: I wanna hear Piper
	11:06pm efd: I have a very low tolerance for the power ballad
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: KenFHP, K8 just gave your idea serious devil horns!
	11:06pm J Boogie: Poison is a guilty pleasure to me now. Used to love em. Now when I want a blonde I go with Hanoi Rocks
	11:07pm J Boogie: I dig CC though. Always.
	11:07pm Tome: Hades Hades lol <>
	11:07pm ultradamno: Even Dream On? Come on, dream until your dreams come true...
	11:08pm J Boogie: Poison were my favorite for 3rd grade
	11:08pm luka: god yea
	11:08pm luka: i need to go to bed but the heat keeps coming
	11:08pm J Boogie: Fuck yeah there’s Tom. Cinderella!
	11:08pm ultradamno: Grunge may have hurt hair metal in a lot of way, but they always had the strip clubs.
	11:09pm Zabadak: Crossing my fingers for some Girl or L.A. Guns in this set.
	11:09pm J Boogie: Aerosmith gets a pass from me for the power ballads. Angel is epic
	11:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: The next April Fools' Wednesday is 2026, so there is some time to negotiate. Haha!
	11:10pm J Boogie: Cinderella rrrrrrrrripped
	11:10pm J Boogie: EFD you could do this more often and people would be stoked haha
	11:10pm J Boogie: Where’s Clay Pigeon??
	11:11pm Scott Williams: what was the original power ballad? Beth? Only Women Bleed"?
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that'll do for another 30 years maybe... Yeah - Pidge ! :D
	11:11pm J Boogie: I don’t miss the fades lol
	11:11pm J Boogie: Dream On
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - Stairway was the O.G. MetalBallad...
	11:12pm J Boogie: Again, Aerosmith.
	11:12pm J Boogie: 73
	11:12pm efd: yeah, definitely not waiting until 2026 to do the next all glam-metal show
	11:12pm Handy Haversack: J Boogie, if I ever make any money, I'm gonna buy you and CP a yacht called The Cinderella Poison!
	11:12pm Scott Williams: Oh duh, J Boogie, right.
	11:12pm J Boogie: Oh true. Zep are the other architects. Whitesnake for example
	11:13pm J Boogie: Maybe I’ve spent too much time thinking about this privately for the last 30 years
	11:13pm Stevel: J Boogie: No kidding! 81-85 I was in school. Much more into the punk/new-wave side. Still, I was grateful for edge these bands brought to the darkroom radio as I worked late Saturday nights.
	11:13pm Scott Williams: Seems I imagined a power ballad needs a piano
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aerosmith was all into Zep as a model to coordinate themselves - says Tyler. Truth is even Sabbath idolized Zep.
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: So someone tell me how Jane's Addiction comes out of this scene?
	11:14pm efd: you're welcome to think out loud here, J Boogie!
	11:14pm ultradamno: Dream On was 73, I'll go with that.
	11:14pm nickybones: Tuff may have misjudged 1991.
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jane's - stuck in the middle there yeah! Also Transitional...
	11:15pm ultradamno: @RR I would have thought Stones, just from the flamboyant singer/sullen guitarist, impassive bassist format
	11:15pm Andrew Hollywood: forget yankee rose, that was the new national anthem
	11:15pm J Boogie: There’s some good crossover opportunities in the early 80s. Again I think Hanoi Rocks are weirdly in both worlds sometimes. Lords of the New Church too but a bit more goth
	11:16pm Scott Williams: yeah Stones & Dolls style guides fer sher. Dolls' music too, obv
	11:16pm J Boogie: Oh Jane’s Addiction factor weirdly for sure. Maybe more outliers like G n R
	11:16pm Scott Williams: no conking, Evan!
	11:16pm ultradamno: Speaking of Stones...Angie, also 73
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ultrad - Zep copped TheWho & TheWho copped TheStones ad infinitum... Tyler had to deny being Jagger for decades it was so close to the knuckle. But Tyler also made the point he admired - Janis Joplin !
	11:18pm J Boogie: I’d say bands like Janes and Guns n Roses embodied Los Angles in their time in a similar way that the Doors and the Seeds did in the 60s. Or Love. Very LA in the best way
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: But there's a LA factor, right? Somehow, Jane's Addiction was an LA response who then popularized a wider response through Lollapalooza? Is that too easy a connection?
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but Tyler said Zep was a model for locking the Rhythm Section together & the whole thing...
	11:18pm J Boogie: The Dolls were a pretty big influence on Aerosmith. Tyler has talked about it a bit
	11:18pm Scott Williams: "Evan, your Hoof & Mouth song is ready" is a weird thing to say
	11:19pm Handy Haversack: All hail Scott W.!
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dolls & Aerosmith were contemporary seems to me. An interesting compare / contrast...
	11:19pm J Boogie: Perry Farrell, despite having morphed into Liberace, is a very interesting guy. Pretty forward thinking
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock 3rd March, 1953
	11:20pm Scott Williams: J Boogie, you seen "The Gift" lately? Perry was a good clown on top of everything else
	11:21pm ultradamno: Aerosmith were a big influence on Glenn Branca, of all people
	11:21pm Andrew Hollywood: Somewhere, Robyn Hitchcock is wearing polka dots
	11:21pm J Boogie: The Dolls and Aerosmith played together but Steven has said that seeing them kind made him up his game in similar ways. Kindred spirits but I think Tyler was taking notes. There were interviews in the 80s on MTV where he talked about them and that’s how I first heard of the Dolls
	11:21pm J Boogie: Glenn Branca? Whoa
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: < Cope & Hichcock Tar. See ? Hitchcock - 68 y.o. Geeeez.
	11:22pm J Boogie: Oh yeah Perry was always a clown. Again, LA. But I think the Lollapalooza idea in the beginning was way ahead of its time. Coachella in 91
	11:23pm ultradamno: Yeah, there's a Forced Exposure interview where he goes on and on about Aerosmith
	11:23pm J Boogie: On paper Janes Addiction are the worst idea ever. A shredder, an overly technical drummer, and two surfers. Somehow it worked
	11:24pm J Boogie: I need to find that Branca interview
	11:25pm Handy Haversack: We attended a virtual concert on 2/14 by Tristen that was a tenth-anniversary party for their (her) album that we love the most and a benefit for the 5 Spot in Nashville, and Robyn Hitchcock and Emma Swift showed up in it to give a video tribute to the club. They and their cat were very charming.
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hendrix liked Chigao a lot. Yerknow? : you never know what one Artist sees in another. Maybe just one piece of something they feel they need... Difference between HairMetal & Janes is Janes had Ideas. Right? I'm big on Ideas...
	11:25pm J Boogie: Early Chicago is pretty great but that’s amazing to hear
	11:26pm J Boogie: Yeah Janes was like the hair metal scene on acid.
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Well I think Hendrix liked they had a larger band arranged - & he wished he did... but what do I know about his mind...)
	11:27pm J Boogie: I didn’t see them in LA at that time but I’ve heard firsthand that their shows at Raji’s were pretty legendary. Really kind of maybe similar impact Nirvana had. Things shifted
	11:28pm J Boogie: What year was the first Chicago record? 69?
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah.
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Re Janes - there was another little Movement in there - another Psychedelic revival. Remember a brief period people were wearing Cat in the Hat hats & things? Like Jellyfish ?? I think the times & the drugs changed : there was Rave & Extasy... Interwebz came up... More information? Glam's simple Party thing had to change...
	11:37pm Scott Williams: @RevRab, definite psych thing in Jane's - their Zep mode was Physical Graffiti, at least on Ritual
	11:37pm Daybreak & The Meh Dreams: Self permotion Air Horn!
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: My new hobby: when someone is smartphoning in my way, I just sound an airhorn and yell, "Social media! efd approved! Catch the hornwave!"
	11:38pm Daybreak & The Meh Dreams: Discovered The Fat Boys through the movie “The Disorderlys” on TV over and over as a kid.
	11:40pm Daybreak & The Meh Dreams: Sorry Misspelled: 1987’s “Disorderlies” Three bumbling orderlies (The Fat Boy’s) are hired to take care of an old rich man. Humorous mayhem follows.
	11:41pm nickybones: hair metal and the Fat Boys, truly the sound of my youth.
	11:42pm StuartR: Nice interviews + Tribute to Fat Boys to end a day that began with 'Pop Rocks'
	11:43pm J Boogie: Same Nicky
	11:44pm J Boogie: I used to jam my Crushin’ tape in my pink “girls boom box”
	11:45pm J Boogie: Rabbit: Jellyfish! Totally. They still have a pretty devoted following, at least in LA. I fee like Redd Kris’s kinda played that card around that time too
	11:45pm nickybones: yeah, Crushin' was the one for me, too. had a boring ol' silver boombox!
	11:45pm J Boogie: Redd Kross
	11:46pm J Boogie: Crushin has Wipe Out didn’t it?
	11:46pm J Boogie: Fat Boys big influence on Ariel Pink
	11:46pm nickybones: @J Boogie had to look it up, but yes!
	11:48pm J Boogie: That’s why I bought it. I flipped for that single
	11:48pm Andrew Hollywood: never have beans sounded more musical
	11:49pm ultradamno: Banana...appeal...classic
	11:52pm wild: thank you for playing the fat boys
	11:53pm J Boogie: Damn this is good.
	11:54pm Scott67: Thanks Evan! ✌😎🌏
	11:54pm no power Joe: Reminds me of junior high—love it!
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: Crap damn it! Why didn't the Constitution put in three more hours of efd Wednesday?! I'm going to blame imperialism. But I'm also going to be grateful for what we just got. Brilliant show and interview, efd! What a joy to have been here. Thanks, Scott! Be well, friends.
	11:57pm J Boogie: Was Mike Love involved with this? Too early for Stamos?
	11:57pm efd: this might be the best cover of all time
	11:57pm Ciggy: Handy you missed the Crestwood stop!
	11:57pm nickybones: kinda can't believe this happened.
	11:58pm Andrew Hollywood: this was a prime roller skating jam
	11:58pm Zabadak: This past three hours have been one heck of a ride
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Indeed wonderful to have this program smack in the middle of the week thing,
	11:58pm Handy Haversack: Fleetwood? White Plains? NORTH White Plains?!
	11:59pm Ciggy: Fleetwood
	11:59pm J Boogie: I agree EFD
	11:59pm J Boogie: That beatboxing is Hendrix level “huh?”
	12:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BeachBoys doing Wipeout would be notable awlready...
	12:00am ultradamno: It's a little rough, like you forgot, and it's like being reminded of that blocked memory
	12:00am nickybones: great show, EFD!
	12:02am ultradamno: Just the beatboxing, actually just the gasping noises.

	9:04pm Uncle Michael: ITALICS!
	9:05pm Sproutsonic: Are we in for an Evan "Snake" Davies takeover????
	9:06pm Uncle Michael: Sprout, that would take css to add umlauts to all the vowels.
	9:08pm Alex of Chicago: Nice to be here.
	9:10pm efd: Hi everyone! This will not be an official Evan "Snake" Davies event, but I have received word that he approves of tonight's proceedings.

	9:13pm Kat in Chicago: Rockin' in italics
	9:13pm McGroovey: Hillary Blaze: sounds like an album side closer. Discogs tells me that's true. I want to hear the rest of the album. Teenage me and my teenage friend woulda loved it.
	9:13pm mariano: Hey, efd, Crew, fellow italicized ones!
	9:14pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! So sorry to be late. Italics mine.
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: Mariano! Kat! McGroovey! ultradamno! Everyone! This was the least FMU I have had on a weekday in so long. Unacceptable!
	9:18pm ultradamno: Hiya Handy!
	9:19pm McGroovey: I thought I was going to go 2-for-2 and guess that Chez Maxim's is side 1, track 2, but it's side 1, track 1. I hold my head in shame. But I did guess that Bang Bang is side 1, track 1, so I'm 2 for 3.
	9:20pm McGroovey: *teenage friends I did have more than one friend when I was a teenager. Really I did.
	9:21pm efd: this is a good skill, @McGroovey
	9:22pm Julie M: Good Wednesday evening Evan and all.
	9:22pm prof.fuzz: howdy efd! howdy handy! howdy all y'all!
	9:23pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, Scott, McGroove, Handy, Mariano, all headbangers!
	9:23pm listener 126464: Hi efd, everyone. Italics do it better.
	9:23pm listener 126464: Cheers Jack!
	9:23pm Hoboken Jack: italicized 126464!
	9:24pm ultradamno: You could make those italics bold though. Makes a statement
	9:24pm efd: ok, I finally got wise to the italic issue. Sorry everyone!
	9:24pm prof.fuzz: underlined too
	9:25pm mariano: Handy, what's up, ese?
	9:26pm Michael in Montclair: I remembered seeing clips Cheetah K-Tel commercials on back in the 70s and would get them mixed up with Heart. They Hammond sisters seemed like Australia’s version of the Wilson sisters.
	9:26pm wolfingham: Evening EFD! Evening all!
	9:26pm Alex of Chicago: lol. Is there an <em> tag before "authors of Nöthin’ But a Good Time". Silly.
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! prof.fuzz, on seeing your name, I immediately put on my New Model Army mask and went to check the mail -- and a Very Special Envelope has arrived! Thanks, pal! Mariano! All-day antiracism training -- exhausting! Followed by a two-hour organizing meeting. But the leftover enchiladas are warming up right now, the domestication of the dog proceeds apace, and the vodka is kicking in! Oh, and the tunes are rocking out!
	9:28pm McGroovey: Jeff Porcaro was on every major-label record in the seventies. It was the law.
	9:29pm McGroovey: I decided to open an orange instead of a beer.
	9:29pm prof.fuzz: @handy: glad it made it to you safely. enjoy!
	9:30pm mr_donutsu: Hardd Rokkin outta the gate!!!
	9:30pm efd: @Alex an <i> tag, actually. With a closing </a> tag. As one does.
	9:30pm mariano: Everything I type seems so emphatic.
	9:30pm Alex of Chicago: oh no. "died at Humana Hospital-West Hills on the evening of August 5, 1992, at the age of 38, after falling ill from spraying insecticide in the yard of his Hidden Hills home"
	9:30pm Kurty: Good evening Evan Funk and company! Really enjoying this set! Happy Wednesday
	9:31pm McGroovey: Seventies rock songs all have the same lyrics. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Well, OK, maybe a little. But they also mostly have this same guitar solo.
	9:31pm Various Julius: Kim Mitchell production!
	9:32pm devlawn: This set has me wondering if EFD has ever DJ'd at a strip club. jk.
	9:32pm McGroovey: Oh, Devil's Deck is 1982? Well, same same
	9:32pm Michael in Montclair: With this Coney Hatch tune, I believe that EFD has either met or is very close to meeting Canada’s minimum CanCon requirement.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: Best bed music in the biz! Emphasis added.
	9:34pm McGroovey: Kim Mitchell is still a big live draw in upstate NY. Well, pre-COVID.
	9:34pm listener 126464: Almost ready to rock. Looking for a shirt.
	9:35pm Scott67: G'day Evan & Other Funkers! Rocked & loaded here mate! 😎🤙🌏☀️
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: Doing the math and hoping it's beer o'clock in Scott Central Time!
	9:36pm winston legthigh: ur the best handy haversack! ten thumbs up emoji!!!!!!!!!!
	9:37pm Scott67: Cheetahs formed in Melbourne 1975 Evan.
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: You're going to make me cry, winston. Rock tears, but still. Hey, friend. Great, GREAT to see you.
	9:38pm ultradamno: Why could Rachel Sweet gender switch And Then (S)he Kissed Me, it could have brought it all the way around...
	9:40pm Scott67: Handy, you had me at beer cobber! 1:40pm & Toucans in. 🍺😎🤙
	9:40pm efd: ah, thank you @Scott67!
	9:40pm luka: THAT’S where i knew that name. i read a lot of Guitar World.
	9:41pm winston legthigh: any word from rachelbobachel?
	9:42pm ultradamno: If "frisco" is good enough for Hardee's
	9:44pm Handy Haversack: We call it "order of battle" in D&D, efd. Which is also my 80s hard rock band name. I have heard nothing, winston.
	9:45pm efd: @luka that's crazy about your Enuff Z'Nuff connection!
	9:45pm J Boogie: I love early Quiet Riot with Randy Rhoads. And yeah, “Frisco” is up there with “Hollyweird”. Only tourists call it that
	9:45pm winston legthigh: hey scott67! if ur into wine theres a nice yalumba white 2019 viogner for around 10 usd from down under.
	9:45pm efd: @Handy, I like it!
	9:47pm dug: this interview is so cool
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: "We nailed the one that looked like Twisted Sister" still one of the best West Coast vs. East Coast movie lines ever. You made my list, Lost Boys.
	9:48pm winston legthigh: thanks efd, g'night all!
	9:48pm Hoboken Jack: Yeah Tom! Doing Hoboken proud.
	9:48pm efd: thanks for checking in, winston!
	9:48pm luka: @evan south chicago suburbs coming of age was wild. via that same uncle, some Styx members showed at my grandfather’s wake.
	9:49pm luka: no Damn Yankees pun intended there.
	9:50pm brycepunk1: Evan, I love you and your show. And thank you for interviews like this!
	9:50pm efd: ha!
	9:50pm luka: that g’n’r fashion callout is very important!!
	9:51pm efd: we get back to that later!
	9:51pm luka: one local record shop had Warrant’s first LP on the wall for $70 last week. majors just weren’t pressing that in 1989.
	9:51pm efd: thank you brycepunk!!
	9:52pm luka: (i got mine for way cheaper)
	9:52pm J Boogie: I love the Crüe but Vince is like a slice of bologna
	9:53pm Scott67: G'day Winston, I'm mainly a beer bloke. But we do have some great wines at our disposal here. I have a case of South Australian Cab Shiraz cleanskins I picked up for 2 bucks a bottle. 🍺😎🤙🍷
	9:53pm J Boogie: That chorus riff is so good
	9:53pm luka: when the “HEY” hits...
	9:54pm Scott67: Night Winston! ✌😎
	9:54pm ultradamno: Frisco was also good enough for Lee Ving...
	9:55pm Scott67: G'day Madge mate! 😎🤙
	9:56pm J Boogie: Great show EFD. Thanks for doing this.
	9:56pm efd: we didn't touch on them that much during the interview but there is A LOT of Dokken discussion in the book
	9:56pm efd: Thanks J Boogie! Happy to have the opportunity to do it.
	9:58pm J Boogie: I’ve always loved this music. Grew up on it. Never had any shame about it, despite that grunge thing
	9:58pm Handy Haversack: K8: "Who's this, Dokken?" HH: "Yup." K8: "Ha! So good!"
	9:58pm sufferwords: i was in Hollywood through all this- it was hilarious- true some of the jams kicked ass- but the city was beset by hordes of poodle cuts- see Decline of Western Civilization- that said any movement that is centered on music is a worthy life pursuit- more power to these poseurs
	9:59pm J Boogie: Mother Love Bone were basically a “hair metal band”. Same for Green River. Alice In Chains weren’t far off either.
	10:00pm luka: that netflix Twisted Sister doc is very crucial for those who haven’t indulged.
	10:00pm HyperDose: Hey Funkmasters!
	10:00pm ultradamno: Well, when I saw Alice In Chains they were opening for Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, so I'll buy that.
	10:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...good a place as any to jump in ! :D ...
	10:02pm nickybones: Hey EFD/all! Comin' in late but comin' in hot.
	10:03pm luka: @ultradamno what was the set order when you saw that show
	10:03pm efd: happy to have you at any temperature, @nickybones!
	10:04pm efd: hiya RRN63
	10:04pm ultradamno: Slayer Megadeth Anthrax
	10:05pm sufferwords: i did a gig with GnR - halloween- we dressed up in spandex with Spinal Tap cucumbers- they were in the mirror with Hair Net- we scared them- we were not very scary
	10:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mötley Crüe's 1st album was different than their others. Challenging to rewind to the pre-Grunge world - but it was there !! :D
	10:06pm luka: as in Anthrax headliner? if so, that’s the ideal lineup of that tour.
	10:06pm ultradamno: I don't know how any of other ones could have followed Slayer, they were an assault. But I think they did juggle the top three around.
	10:06pm luka: (for me)
	10:06pm nickybones: i find it interesting that the hair bands were already giving up the glam aspect by 1990. nirvana gets the credit, but they were all toning down the look a bit by '90, if my memory serves.
	10:07pm ultradamno: No other way around, Anthrax were the first after Alice. They were better than Megadeth, in my opinion though.
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Rev Rab! Current bands could do worse than taking fashion cues from Control Top.
	10:07pm Scott67: G'day HyperD! 😎🤙
	10:08pm efd: very good for WFMU's license that he did not go into this actual story
	10:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being 57 y.o. & having had a brother deeply into Rawk ~9 years older than me : I remember it was called Glitter Rawk in the earlier 70s - & Glam only later here...
	10:09pm nickybones: i really can't wait for this book to arrive.
	10:10pm efd: less than two weeks!
	10:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you think Rawk is about Funky Behavior - Crüe did that for sure...
	10:11pm nickybones: woo! gonna be watching that mailbox. haha.
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: efd: K8 has two questions: Do you know a good documentary/movie/book about groupies? And: will you play Ratt?
	10:14pm efd: question 2 will be answered shortly. I'm going to open up question 1 to the floor, I don't know of any offhand.
	10:15pm nickybones: isn't there that "I'm With The Band" book?
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sufferwords - Decline of Western Civ. Pt. II perfectly mirrors Spinal Tap - but is a real Documentary. Cannot be missed.
	10:16pm efd: oh yeah, Pamela Des Barres. Haven't read it but I bet it's worth checking out.
	10:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good read.
	10:17pm ?: Love it, 80s metal on WFMU
	10:17pm J Boogie: Haven’t listened to QR in ages. God they were f*cking great
	10:17pm Handy Haversack: Follow-up from K8: Major women in metal past Lita Ford and Vixen? Can you (and the hivemind) fill in any gaps? I should mention that Kate's pretty much fave karaoke song is the Lita/Ozzy duet "Close My Eyes Forever." When she can find a Lita. I should also mention how much you rock, efd! Holy CRAP, so happy to be here!
	10:17pm luka: BANG YOUR HEAD
	10:17pm J Boogie: Dubrows voice brings me right back
	10:18pm Tome: still liked, liking like,, Hades <> !
	10:18pm J Boogie: It’s a shame the Darkness didn’t really translate on this side of the Atlantic. That band was really doing it right. And no, it wasn’t at all “hair metal”. More Cheap Trick and Queen than anything
	10:19pm nickybones: @Handy Girlschool comes to mind.
	10:20pm luka: top Ratt choice
	10:21pm J Boogie: There were a lot of all female rock bands during this era. Also Doro Pesch
	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Yes, thanks, nickybones! Hey there, question 2. Glad to see you're BACK FOR MORE!
	10:21pm efd: I mean, "Round And Round" is untouchable, of course, but I wanted to go a little deeper (relatively speaking)
	10:21pm J Boogie: Ratt Out of the Cellar was huge for me.
	10:22pm luka: “body talk” is also an all time hair raiser
	10:23pm McGroovey: @Handy About groups? I remember a book called I'm With the Band -- possibly by Bebe Buell?
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Woosh! Getting out of High School about then. Had one friend - couple years younger than me - we shared enthusiasm for playing RawkGittar - but he was almost 100% Metal. I tried Special Beat Service on him - it just seemed like seeds on stone. He worshipped Sabbath. He was right about that...
	10:23pm J Boogie: Round and round has been ruined by that local AM talk station in LA... they use it every half hour as bumper music for their news updates. For years and years. I’m resentful
	10:24pm McGroovey: Oh, someone actually figured it out before I thought of it. I'm behind on my comment-reading.
	10:24pm Tome: !<>!
	10:24pm luka: yes. YES.
	10:24pm efd: oh wow, was not aware of that J Boogie!
	10:24pm Andrew S: i think the first concert i saw may have been ratt opening for ozzy. Im not sure because there were a blur of them that year
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: I have been loving the (relative) profusion of Sabbath lately on FMU. Maybe it's the big boxset reissues, but DAMN, it all still sounds go good.
	10:25pm nickybones: @Handy I'm stoked how good the Vol IV one sounds.
	10:25pm J Boogie: Yep. I wish I could recall the station ID. It’s been a while.
	10:26pm efd: careful what you wish for
	10:26pm Scott Williams: Handy & K8: Wendy O.Williams
	10:26pm J Boogie: I hope Aerosmith gets a mention. To my mind, they are The Godfather’s of the Sunset Strip sound. Faster Pussycat, for instance.
	10:27pm J Boogie: *its whatever AM station that airs Coast to Coast AM
	10:27pm McGroovey: Bebe Buell's book is called Rebel Heart.
	10:27pm prof.fuzz: This brings back a lot of memories. My roommate and bandmate went off the deep end for these kind of bands. I was more into Black Flag, so we compromised and listened to a lot of Motorhead and Sabbath when we were together.
	10:27pm Tome: Hades
	10:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he was an Italian kid with fairly well-to-do parents - had a great Gittar & toys yerkow... I tried to turn him on to pot & acid & open his intelligence & all that stuff... Good guy... What this stuff brings back for me...
	10:28pm Scott Williams: I liked Pamela Des Barres' 1st book (she's written a ton of 'em), and another one where she interviews other famous groupies. I liked Bebe Buell's as well. I wish there was something more investigative and 3rd person out there.
	10:28pm Andrew S: wow i just tuned in but ll of thee bands were my first concert expeirinces. Motley crue opening for anvil at a hockey arena in quebec, Wasp headlining when Mteallica were third string, Twisted Sister opeing for iron maiden
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SW - right ?!
	10:28pm Handy Haversack: Sceleton Scott: yeah! Thanks, pals.
	10:29pm DouglasInDallas: Of all the bands that would come into Bill's Records & Tapes when I worked as a teenager, the most attention-starved was Cinderella who would come in wearing full length leather coats over lace and zebra print and two foot high hair (in the summer) pretend to be reading magazines but were just trying to get people to ask who they were. Lol
	10:29pm Andrew S: not for anvil, for Accept
	10:29pm Andrew S: who doesnt get their Anvil and Accept mixed up
	10:29pm J Boogie: Totally... these bands worked their asses off
	10:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Andrew S - seeing those units then was probly heavy ! I was pretty into Maiden for a minute...
	10:30pm Andrew S: Me too it was fleeting but it was very formative
	10:31pm J Boogie: Please play Down Boys! Warrant were great. Sorely underrated.
	10:31pm J Boogie: The first record is where it’s at
	10:32pm efd: J Boogie, I don't want to give away the first song I already had planned for the next break, but it rhymes with "Frown noise"
	10:33pm J Boogie: I saw CC at Albertsons in Los Feliz once. I almost dropped my cat litter
	10:33pm J Boogie: YEEEEEEE! Thanks EFD!
	10:33pm J Boogie: Turning that WAY up
	10:34pm efd: I hope you said "CC, pick up that lit-ter and TALK TO ME"
	10:34pm J Boogie: Hahahahaha
	10:35pm J Boogie: Enuff Z Nuff are a favorite. They were totally different sounding
	10:35pm Andrew S: There's a guy named Andrew Vincent who wrote a song called "grade 4" that nailed the nostagia of that beautiful era for me. The rugby pants, the posters, you're never as emotionally attached to bands or probabky even music as you werer when you were a youbg teeneger
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yerknow - PostModern - it's embarrassing to be Rawkist more than half the time... but RawkGittar is - my matrix I come from I guess you'd say... Fortunately - not having to Choose is also PostModern...
	10:36pm Tome: L-amour was fun ,, for a while <>
	10:37pm J Boogie: A lot of that pay to play shit is still rampant in LA. Coming from Boston, it baffled me.
	10:38pm J Boogie: Ok now time to rock
	10:38pm Handy Haversack: K8 says pay-to-play is still quite a thing here in NYC.
	10:38pm luka: “down boys” rips forever
	10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PostReaganism...
	10:39pm J Boogie: Forever. Choruses like this don’t exist anymore
	10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a nation of Gene Simmons...
	10:39pm luka: RIP Jani
	10:40pm efd: lots of air drumming going on in Studio E(FD) tonight.
	10:40pm Scott Williams: I never went there, but anyone remember the Cricket Club in (I think) Irvington NJ, right on the GSP?
	10:41pm J Boogie: Puffy white high tops. Bike shorts.
	10:41pm nickybones: YES. I still love this record. haha.
	10:41pm J Boogie: Yeah RIP Jani. So sad. Wasn’t just “the cherry pie guy” to me
	10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Death of the Chorus : switchedonpop.com...
	10:41pm prof.fuzz: @handy: pay-to-play was a thing in a number of the deep ellum clubs before the plague. a number of those venues have since closed.
	10:42pm J Boogie: Skid Row were legit
	10:42pm luka: ok, let’s talk Skid Row. this album cooks. but Slave To The Grind is CRAZY
	10:42pm McGroovey: I've never been in a band that had to pay to play, but I think the most I've gotten paid is %-of-door($20)+beer+dinner.
	10:42pm Zabadak: Both Skid Row records are SO good!
	10:42pm J Boogie: How many licks does it take to get to the center of this tune
	10:42pm efd: I am in favor of just about any song where the band shouts out their name
	10:42pm nickybones: true true @luka. my mom made me return the tape because of the "Get the Fuck Out" title. haha.
	10:43pm luka: also one of the best SNL performances EVER
	10:43pm J Boogie: Yeah man, Skid Row were rad.
	10:43pm Handy Haversack: Deep. Ellum. Blues!
	10:43pm J Boogie: Sebastian seems like a fun dude too
	10:43pm Zabadak: Exceptional show this week EFD! Gonna have to download this one for future enjoyment.
	10:43pm Andrew S: @efd i think blues explosion probably took the cake for that
	10:43pm luka: “monkey business” with keefer sutherland hosting lol
	10:44pm J Boogie: I used to have to hide my metal tapes
	10:44pm nickybones: i remember muting the curses all over Appetite for Destruction. got quite good at it.
	10:45pm prof.fuzz: @efd and @andrew s: The Fall were pretty good at that, and The Cool Greenhouse are giving them a run for the money on self-references in song.
	10:45pm McGroovey: I'm overdosing on gated reverb snare.
	10:45pm Zabadak: KIX! Such a forgotten gem
	10:45pm loveless: I worked with a woman who was the #1 fan of S. Bach (and would gossip about his wife). She would follow them everywhere. I grew to like them too.
	10:46pm Handy Haversack: Alexa, tell prof.fuzz he's correct.
	10:46pm luka: @nickybones oh for the days of clean/dirty albums.
	10:47pm J Boogie: In some ways, Alice In Chains were just Skid Row but with heroin
	10:47pm efd: @prof.fuzz, very true!
	10:47pm prof.fuzz: i deeply regret not making a "radio friendly" version of "owls"...
	10:48pm J Boogie: What was the KIX single? Don’t Close Your Eyes?
	10:48pm J Boogie: Cinderella don’t get talked about enough. Same with the Bulletboys. Sorry I’m having a rush of flashbacks
	10:48pm efd: there is a lot of Skid Row content in the book.
	10:48pm Zabadak: Memories of listening to “The Metal Zone” on Friday nights on WHEB
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The relation of Band & Audience in Metal is a great & powerful thing. You can feel that - & a singalong Chorus goes with it. Anthem by numbers... The cynical part of me thinks they worked so hard because they were materialists. Everybody keeps score in different ways... Of course - the Music Biz was radically different then. (Yes?? No??) For all this talk of competition & trying to distinguish themselves - it has th patina of sameness to me... Their strenuous desperation seems a compensation for not having ideas or much to say to me... like HipHop when it to being nothing but talking about how bad they are... But still - they're Rawking hard, right ?...
	10:49pm efd: Cinderalla too
	10:51pm Zabadak: J Boogie, all astute observations
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The shorthand is always that GnR were transitional...
	10:53pm Scott Williams: Remember when Sebastian Bach joined the Frogs? youtu.be... Oh, Keenan Thompson was there too.
	10:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I won a copy of a Highway Chile album (Storybook Heroes) from a local radio station back then. 80s metal, but not sure if it's hair metal or not.
	10:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More shorthand : Grunge = Punk + Metal - & how you're going to play them against / into each other... Stoner Metal (Doom &tc.) never became a National Movement in the Charts - tho' it survives...
	10:54pm Zabadak: Just preordered this book on Audible— can’t wait to read it
	10:55pm luka: yeah, this book is gonna be mandatory reading.
	10:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Glam celebrates - Grunge bemoans...
	10:56pm J Boogie: Nirvana killed hair metal. Courtney Love killed Nirvana
	10:56pm efd: there is a really funny Sebastian Bach story in the book that I just spent about 5 minutes trying to type out, but you really need the context that leads up to it. But trust me, it's funny.
	10:56pm J Boogie: Sebastian with the Frogs???
	10:57pm Handy Haversack: Did Lollapalooza county-fair an entie genre? (With the given: Nirvana rocks! Now I want to listen to three hours of Nirvana!)
	10:57pm ultradamno: And she had pretty metal hair, coincidence?
	10:57pm J Boogie: Nirvana are pretty undeniable
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy that's articulate.
	10:58pm loveless: Okay, the book has moved to the top of my to-be-ordered list.
	10:58pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab, so was what you said. I'm shorthanding back atcha.
	10:59pm Andrew S: omg i would never have known about that S. BAch/Frogs meeting thats crazy thanks for that
	10:59pm J Boogie: Def Leppard is sweet sweet candy to my earholes
	10:59pm J Boogie: Hysteria is so wild sounding. It sounded futuristic then and still does (to me) now
	10:59pm Handy Haversack: OH MAN, K8 has been waiting for someone to say Def Leppard!
	11:00pm Zabadak: Pyromania
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: About DefLeppard - always thot - if you think mixing Metal & Pop that Charts is easy - be my guest.
	11:01pm Zabadak: That Mutt Lang shimmer
	11:01pm J Boogie: That is definitely THE record but the Hysteria tour with Queensryche was really when they arrived mass scale in my world
	11:01pm J Boogie: And i still standby Operation: Mindcrime. Great record
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but do I need DL ? No.
	11:02pm J Boogie: I agree Rabbit
	11:02pm ultradamno: I think a lot of the grunge intolerance of hair metal is that grunge was largely populated by guys at loose ends after the hardcore/thrash speed burnout happened and still had that anti-rock dogma but were simultaneously relapsing to their old Sabbath albums.
	11:02pm luka: Hysteria had like eight singles. and not one of them was “gods of war”. completely unhinged.
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: Wait: efd was e"s"d the whole time??!!
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ultrad true.
	11:03pm efd: oh shit, COVER BLOWN!
	11:03pm prof.fuzz: @ultraD: totally agree
	11:03pm J Boogie: Yes: again I think Aerosmith and Cheap Trick (the two greatest American rock bands of the mid to late 70s IMO) kind of birthed a lot of the 80s hard rock sound. Aerosmith even takes some credit for some of Metallica’s sound... IMO. See Nobody’s Fault
	11:03pm nickybones: another great interview, efd!
	11:03pm Scott Williams: Buying this book. Thanks Evan!
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like the Punks were all steeped in Glitter(Glam) & so on...
	11:04pm prof.fuzz: @efd: very enjoyable interview. thanks. again.
	11:04pm Chop Scott: Another great feature program EFD--Thanks!
	11:04pm Zabadak: Extend that lineage back a bit farther and you have Big Star and The Beatles influencing Cheap Trick...
	11:04pm luka: my walls were covered with Poison pinups from Metal Edge.
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Here's a link to buy/preorder the book at everyone's favorite Jersey City and Brooklyn independent bookstore: shop.wordbookstores.com...
	11:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe the next April 1 show, three hours of metal duet ballads? Think Ozzy & Lita.
	11:05pm efd: thanks so much everyone, glad you enjoyed it!
	11:05pm efd: That's a no from me, KenFHP
	11:05pm J Boogie: Luka. I agree. But that’s 8 more singles that charred more solidly than Pyromania. They were huge with Hysteria and growing up with that left a big impression. To my 4th grade mind they were gods
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes great interview !
	11:05pm J Boogie: Charted
	11:05pm Scott Williams: I wanna hear Piper
	11:06pm efd: I have a very low tolerance for the power ballad
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: KenFHP, K8 just gave your idea serious devil horns!
	11:06pm J Boogie: Poison is a guilty pleasure to me now. Used to love em. Now when I want a blonde I go with Hanoi Rocks
	11:07pm J Boogie: I dig CC though. Always.
	11:07pm Tome: Hades Hades lol <>
	11:07pm ultradamno: Even Dream On? Come on, dream until your dreams come true...
	11:08pm J Boogie: Poison were my favorite for 3rd grade
	11:08pm luka: god yea
	11:08pm luka: i need to go to bed but the heat keeps coming
	11:08pm J Boogie: Fuck yeah there’s Tom. Cinderella!
	11:08pm ultradamno: Grunge may have hurt hair metal in a lot of way, but they always had the strip clubs.
	11:09pm Zabadak: Crossing my fingers for some Girl or L.A. Guns in this set.
	11:09pm J Boogie: Aerosmith gets a pass from me for the power ballads. Angel is epic
	11:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: The next April Fools' Wednesday is 2026, so there is some time to negotiate. Haha!
	11:10pm J Boogie: Cinderella rrrrrrrrripped
	11:10pm J Boogie: EFD you could do this more often and people would be stoked haha
	11:10pm J Boogie: Where’s Clay Pigeon??
	11:11pm Scott Williams: what was the original power ballad? Beth? Only Women Bleed"?
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that'll do for another 30 years maybe... Yeah - Pidge ! :D
	11:11pm J Boogie: I don’t miss the fades lol
	11:11pm J Boogie: Dream On
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - Stairway was the O.G. MetalBallad...
	11:12pm J Boogie: Again, Aerosmith.
	11:12pm J Boogie: 73
	11:12pm efd: yeah, definitely not waiting until 2026 to do the next all glam-metal show
	11:12pm Handy Haversack: J Boogie, if I ever make any money, I'm gonna buy you and CP a yacht called The Cinderella Poison!
	11:12pm Scott Williams: Oh duh, J Boogie, right.
	11:12pm J Boogie: Oh true. Zep are the other architects. Whitesnake for example
	11:13pm J Boogie: Maybe I’ve spent too much time thinking about this privately for the last 30 years
	11:13pm Stevel: J Boogie: No kidding! 81-85 I was in school. Much more into the punk/new-wave side. Still, I was grateful for edge these bands brought to the darkroom radio as I worked late Saturday nights.
	11:13pm Scott Williams: Seems I imagined a power ballad needs a piano
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aerosmith was all into Zep as a model to coordinate themselves - says Tyler. Truth is even Sabbath idolized Zep.
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: So someone tell me how Jane's Addiction comes out of this scene?
	11:14pm efd: you're welcome to think out loud here, J Boogie!
	11:14pm ultradamno: Dream On was 73, I'll go with that.
	11:14pm nickybones: Tuff may have misjudged 1991.
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jane's - stuck in the middle there yeah! Also Transitional...
	11:15pm ultradamno: @RR I would have thought Stones, just from the flamboyant singer/sullen guitarist, impassive bassist format
	11:15pm Andrew Hollywood: forget yankee rose, that was the new national anthem
	11:15pm J Boogie: There’s some good crossover opportunities in the early 80s. Again I think Hanoi Rocks are weirdly in both worlds sometimes. Lords of the New Church too but a bit more goth
	11:16pm Scott Williams: yeah Stones & Dolls style guides fer sher. Dolls' music too, obv
	11:16pm J Boogie: Oh Jane’s Addiction factor weirdly for sure. Maybe more outliers like G n R
	11:16pm Scott Williams: no conking, Evan!
	11:16pm ultradamno: Speaking of Stones...Angie, also 73
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ultrad - Zep copped TheWho & TheWho copped TheStones ad infinitum... Tyler had to deny being Jagger for decades it was so close to the knuckle. But Tyler also made the point he admired - Janis Joplin !
	11:18pm J Boogie: I’d say bands like Janes and Guns n Roses embodied Los Angles in their time in a similar way that the Doors and the Seeds did in the 60s. Or Love. Very LA in the best way
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: But there's a LA factor, right? Somehow, Jane's Addiction was an LA response who then popularized a wider response through Lollapalooza? Is that too easy a connection?
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but Tyler said Zep was a model for locking the Rhythm Section together & the whole thing...
	11:18pm J Boogie: The Dolls were a pretty big influence on Aerosmith. Tyler has talked about it a bit
	11:18pm Scott Williams: "Evan, your Hoof & Mouth song is ready" is a weird thing to say
	11:19pm Handy Haversack: All hail Scott W.!
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dolls & Aerosmith were contemporary seems to me. An interesting compare / contrast...
	11:19pm J Boogie: Perry Farrell, despite having morphed into Liberace, is a very interesting guy. Pretty forward thinking
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robyn Hitchcock 3rd March, 1953
	11:20pm Scott Williams: J Boogie, you seen "The Gift" lately? Perry was a good clown on top of everything else
	11:21pm ultradamno: Aerosmith were a big influence on Glenn Branca, of all people
	11:21pm Andrew Hollywood: Somewhere, Robyn Hitchcock is wearing polka dots
	11:21pm J Boogie: The Dolls and Aerosmith played together but Steven has said that seeing them kind made him up his game in similar ways. Kindred spirits but I think Tyler was taking notes. There were interviews in the 80s on MTV where he talked about them and that’s how I first heard of the Dolls
	11:21pm J Boogie: Glenn Branca? Whoa
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: < Cope & Hichcock Tar. See ? Hitchcock - 68 y.o. Geeeez.
	11:22pm J Boogie: Oh yeah Perry was always a clown. Again, LA. But I think the Lollapalooza idea in the beginning was way ahead of its time. Coachella in 91
	11:23pm ultradamno: Yeah, there's a Forced Exposure interview where he goes on and on about Aerosmith
	11:23pm J Boogie: On paper Janes Addiction are the worst idea ever. A shredder, an overly technical drummer, and two surfers. Somehow it worked
	11:24pm J Boogie: I need to find that Branca interview
	11:25pm Handy Haversack: We attended a virtual concert on 2/14 by Tristen that was a tenth-anniversary party for their (her) album that we love the most and a benefit for the 5 Spot in Nashville, and Robyn Hitchcock and Emma Swift showed up in it to give a video tribute to the club. They and their cat were very charming.
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hendrix liked Chigao a lot. Yerknow? : you never know what one Artist sees in another. Maybe just one piece of something they feel they need... Difference between HairMetal & Janes is Janes had Ideas. Right? I'm big on Ideas...
	11:25pm J Boogie: Early Chicago is pretty great but that’s amazing to hear
	11:26pm J Boogie: Yeah Janes was like the hair metal scene on acid.
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Well I think Hendrix liked they had a larger band arranged - & he wished he did... but what do I know about his mind...)
	11:27pm J Boogie: I didn’t see them in LA at that time but I’ve heard firsthand that their shows at Raji’s were pretty legendary. Really kind of maybe similar impact Nirvana had. Things shifted
	11:28pm J Boogie: What year was the first Chicago record? 69?
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah.
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Re Janes - there was another little Movement in there - another Psychedelic revival. Remember a brief period people were wearing Cat in the Hat hats & things? Like Jellyfish ?? I think the times & the drugs changed : there was Rave & Extasy... Interwebz came up... More information? Glam's simple Party thing had to change...
	11:37pm Scott Williams: @RevRab, definite psych thing in Jane's - their Zep mode was Physical Graffiti, at least on Ritual
	11:37pm Daybreak & The Meh Dreams: Self permotion Air Horn!
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: My new hobby: when someone is smartphoning in my way, I just sound an airhorn and yell, "Social media! efd approved! Catch the hornwave!"
	11:38pm Daybreak & The Meh Dreams: Discovered The Fat Boys through the movie “The Disorderlys” on TV over and over as a kid.
	11:40pm Daybreak & The Meh Dreams: Sorry Misspelled: 1987’s “Disorderlies” Three bumbling orderlies (The Fat Boy’s) are hired to take care of an old rich man. Humorous mayhem follows.
	11:41pm nickybones: hair metal and the Fat Boys, truly the sound of my youth.
	11:42pm StuartR: Nice interviews + Tribute to Fat Boys to end a day that began with 'Pop Rocks'
	11:43pm J Boogie: Same Nicky
	11:44pm J Boogie: I used to jam my Crushin’ tape in my pink “girls boom box”
	11:45pm J Boogie: Rabbit: Jellyfish! Totally. They still have a pretty devoted following, at least in LA. I fee like Redd Kris’s kinda played that card around that time too
	11:45pm nickybones: yeah, Crushin' was the one for me, too. had a boring ol' silver boombox!
	11:45pm J Boogie: Redd Kross
	11:46pm J Boogie: Crushin has Wipe Out didn’t it?
	11:46pm J Boogie: Fat Boys big influence on Ariel Pink
	11:46pm nickybones: @J Boogie had to look it up, but yes!
	11:48pm J Boogie: That’s why I bought it. I flipped for that single
	11:48pm Andrew Hollywood: never have beans sounded more musical
	11:49pm ultradamno: Banana...appeal...classic
	11:52pm wild: thank you for playing the fat boys
	11:53pm J Boogie: Damn this is good.
	11:54pm Scott67: Thanks Evan! ✌😎🌏
	11:54pm no power Joe: Reminds me of junior high—love it!
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: Crap damn it! Why didn't the Constitution put in three more hours of efd Wednesday?! I'm going to blame imperialism. But I'm also going to be grateful for what we just got. Brilliant show and interview, efd! What a joy to have been here. Thanks, Scott! Be well, friends.
	11:57pm J Boogie: Was Mike Love involved with this? Too early for Stamos?
	11:57pm efd: this might be the best cover of all time
	11:57pm Ciggy: Handy you missed the Crestwood stop!
	11:57pm nickybones: kinda can't believe this happened.
	11:58pm Andrew Hollywood: this was a prime roller skating jam
	11:58pm Zabadak: This past three hours have been one heck of a ride
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Indeed wonderful to have this program smack in the middle of the week thing,
	11:58pm Handy Haversack: Fleetwood? White Plains? NORTH White Plains?!
	11:59pm Ciggy: Fleetwood
	11:59pm J Boogie: I agree EFD
	11:59pm J Boogie: That beatboxing is Hendrix level “huh?”
	12:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BeachBoys doing Wipeout would be notable awlready...
	12:00am ultradamno: It's a little rough, like you forgot, and it's like being reminded of that blocked memory
	12:00am nickybones: great show, EFD!
	12:02am ultradamno: Just the beatboxing, actually just the gasping noises.
