Listener comments!
	12:02pm Krys O.: Good afternoon! Got my boogie shoes on!
	12:02pm prof.fuzz: Disco grading party in progress!
	12:02pm Threemoons: AWESOME.
	12:02pm luka: funkin in broad daylight!!
	12:03pm HotTopicValuedCustomer: this booty is shakin. just trying to cover up this broken heart
	12:03pm luka: as a fellow recovering “disco sucks” person, i deeply appreciate this.
	12:03pm medson: You know it’s a good time when you leave the disco and it’s daylight
	12:03pm Kat in Chicago: Disco, take me away!
	12:03pm Will the Sound Guy: Good Afternoon efd and all!
	12:07pm dreamyandseedy: greetings! someone mentioned this special on a comment board yesterday and i am glad to be here
	12:07pm Threemoons: I need this upbeat music today. Super sleepy today; AC barely cut it last night and I ate dinner too late. Also, I was out of cheese and onions in the house which never happens, and I made the mistake of popping over to my Trade Fair while hungry. Well, deli-counter "buffalo chicken chunks" happened. When I got home I nuked them and had the whole little tray...each one was some odd, almost marshmellowy-fluffy concoction of who knows what part of the chicken and meat glue. It was oddly satisfying. Then I had a nip of Delta 8 syrup and an hour later I attacked some cold cuts. Result: Too much food before bed and my tongue STILL feels fuzzy from the syrup. Took a super minimal amount also; gotta remember to cut it with seltzer or something. Trying to switch from Tylenol PM and similar to that; less bad for your liver for sure but must time it with meals better. And yeah the Trade Fair chicken chunk thingies are oddly delicious in a horrifying way. I mean, I have had proper chicken meatballs. This was not that. This was the equivalent of the cheapest deli chicken loaf, REGROUND with MORE fillers and air and plopped out of an extractor and baked and then rolled in batter and fried. It's without a doubt the least healthy thing I've had to eat in the last 20 years.
	12:08pm olivia: Groovin!
	12:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: The official WFMU tiki torch disco balls are lit! 🪩
	12:09pm Anton: Omg that timpani made me chortle!!
	12:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: <mirror ball emoji above>
	12:13pm efd: hey everyone! Happy to have you here for the Disco/Dance Party this afternoon!
	12:14pm queems: SO PSYCHED
	12:15pm Martin: Party time.
	12:15pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks EFD. Daytime party
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Nice-looking party you got going here!
	12:16pm Mister Dobalina: Not a bad way to kick off a Thursday afternoon.
	12:19pm listener Rey: Hey EFD! What a treat, I was not expecting this for my Thursday afternoon.
	12:19pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Man, it is hot as Hades in Ottawa today--has been all week--and this music is only making it hotter!
	12:19pm Anton: I quit my job to dance to this show
	12:20pm melinda: Daytime disco party, what a treat!
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: Worth it, Anton!
	12:22pm LastWhiteRhino: This show is taking me back to the Soap factory "daze" in Palisades Park.
	12:23pm mrdonutsu: Might need to duck off to the club bathroom to put a little extra "sugar" in my coffee this morning.
	12:23pm happymaan: We're loving this show, thanks EFD.
	12:24pm LastWhiteRhino: Hey Evan... do DISCO fries come with this show????
	12:25pm Monica: Miquel Brown = Dance Party USA National Anthem
	12:25pm melinda: @mrdonutsu go for it, man!
	12:25pm happymaan: I've never heard of Disco Fries, I just looked the up. They sound amazing.
	12:26pm queems: i want to write a disco song called "one is plenty, thanks"
	12:26pm happymaan: mine would be called "I'm too tried to dance"
	12:26pm Anton: I agree, Handy! I would also listen to a “one is fine” song
	12:27pm Krys O.: Disco fries are decidedly Jersey and they remind me of college. Might have to replicate them at home.
	12:28pm LastWhiteRhino: Yup, Disco fries + Taylor ham/egg/cheese on a hard roll= Jersey Bliss !
	12:29pm Faith: In high school, I would take a double order of disco fries home from my job for dinner at least 3x a week. Usually went with mozz as my cheese, but sometimes a melted slice of plastic American cheese hits the spot.
	12:33pm Mister Dobalina: Don't ya'll mean.. poutine?
	12:34pm karlward: I for one welcome our new Disco Davies
	12:36pm Threemoons: @EFD Would I totally be out of sorts if I respectfully requested ANYTHING by Stevie Wonder, extra points for anything off of Songs in the Key of Life, and adoration if it's "Another Star??" Mucho gracias...
	12:36pm eastvanhalen: Having my first coffee, vaguely regretting that it's the wrong stimulant for the morning
	12:37pm Joe R.: wow, someone here will have to explain to me why a disco funk band chose the name “Platypus”
	12:38pm efd: @Threemoons this will be small consolation, but that specific song was actually rattling around in my head last night after I'd spent the day pulling records for this show. However - ironically - I did not pull that particular record.
	12:38pm efd: @Joe R I was wondering the same thing!
	12:38pm Krys O.: Ah, the UK Quick. Nice!
	12:39pm c2b3: hey people!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUH?!?!?!?!
	12:40pm Threemoons: @efd understood, don't want to upset the apple cart RE plans, but happy to know that it was in both of our thoughtstreams. "Another Star" is my absolute favorite "move yo ass" song in the AM....
	12:41pm Mister Dobalina: I was in my prime when a lot of this music came out, mainly 'cause I had just been born...but, whatever.
	12:42pm Threemoons: @efd Please tell me there will be Donna Sumer involved at some point....
	12:42pm Kat in Chicago: Found a recipe for Disco Fries. Got a project for the weekend now.
	12:43pm karlward: Because they can't be fit into any of your evolutionary trees
	12:47pm Threemoons: Real disco fries are the move. Shit, now I'm hungry again.
	12:51pm steveo: Good stuff, efd...I am boogieing down
	12:52pm Mike Sin: FYI -- Because it's 93 degrees, and I'm boogie-ing outside, I've already popped my top off. Once I glue on my chest hair, I'll be back on the dancefloor!
	12:54pm Anton: Love this Timmy Thomas sample soooooo much
	12:56pm Mister Dobalina: The Waverly diner near W4th has the best disco fries....
	12:58pm Krys O.: @Mister Dobalina: Thanks for bringing up the Waverly. Many fond memories of going there.
	1:00pm Mister Dobalina: I knew someone would say something...Cool beans, Krys.
	1:00pm Will the Sound Guy: Sweating from the heat outside and the heat of the beat on the stream....
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Same here, Krys. I had found the food had gone downhill steeply last time I was there. Hoping it was an aberration, but others have said the same.
	1:03pm Kat in Chicago: I miss the 24 hour diners of my Manhattan days!
	1:06pm Ciggy: "Looking Good" & sweating on the floor! Or, if you're outside right now...
	1:07pm Mister Dobalina: eFd...spinnin' those hits !
	1:08pm JPFluffhead: YESSSS LOVE GORDO!! Heard this disco cover for the first time recently. so good!
	1:09pm Krys O.: My one and only foray to a discotheque was to New York New York disco on 52nd between 5th/6th. My BIL at the time was a member. I think I was 1978 and I was 15 going on 16. Cool info about the clubs: www.disco-disco.com...
	1:10pm D Rok: Tough choice today between sticking with efd or switching over to Ursula1000 on the Sheena stream like I usually do on Thursdays. I feel like I've made the right call. AWESOME show so far efd!
	1:10pm tim from washington: Hi EFD. Break it down!
	1:11pm ChukAmok: Davies does Disco!
	1:11pm efd: @D Rok I appreciate it! Stiff competion for sure!
	1:11pm Ciggy: All I remember of The Kiev on 2nd &7th was coffee a blintz & being numb.
	1:13pm Mu Major: I really hope that the B-side of this was The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Or maybe Sundown
	1:13pm ChukAmok: Many a late night ended at Kiev.
	1:15pm johnk77: quoting from Allen Ginsberg: After midnite, Second Avenue horseradish Beef at Kiev’s wood tables
	1:16pm Ginny: As a teacher returning to school next week, I soooooo appreciate your "filling in" show today. Glad Pseu picked you and you are here!!!! Thanks, love it!!
	1:17pm efd: @Ginny thanks so much! And thank you for being a teacher... I hope your return is as healthy and stress-free as possible.
	1:18pm Monica: Remember making collect calls back home to Chicago in '78 from the pizza parlor that would soon become Kiev. You know you old when...
	1:19pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, much time at the Kiev. And the Odessa.
	1:20pm chris_in_space: Never thought I'd hear a disco version of Have a Cigar, but here we are.
	1:21pm Travisano66: The only good thing about this version of the Pink Floyd song is that it makes you hear the original in your head, and you realize how great it was.
	1:21pm Ciggy: @Krys O ~ did you ever drop in at Hoops in Mt Vernon?
	1:22pm efd: @Monica PRE-Kiev memories?? Dang that... was a long time ago!
	1:26pm ChukAmok: For a DJ that isn't on the weekly schedule this season this has certainly become the summer of E"F"D. Here for all of it!
	1:28pm ChukAmok: The Body Shop chain of skincare shops had a house band?!
	1:28pm Krys O.: Wow! I was just watching the TV commercial on YouTube for On the 20th Century: Madeline Kahn, Kevin Kline, John Cullum.
	1:29pm chris_in_space: @ChukAmok Ha, we're seeing how @efd can swiss army knife around the schedule during his summer vacaction, and I love it!
	1:30pm BH: Nobody expects the Disco Inquisition. (Unless they checked the schedule beforehand)
	1:31pm Krys O.: Yup, John Cullum. This is the commercial I saw yesterday: www.youtube.com...
	1:34pm ChukAmok: @chris_in_space So true! How's it going? Any tips on finding the source of a slow leak in a 700c tube? I've tried the water bubbles already, but no luck there.
	1:38pm dave wuz here: soapy water, check valve core is tight.
	1:39pm Mike W.: I’m not even into disco but I’m happy here, this is happymaking
	1:40pm ChukAmok: Thanks @dave wuz here! Valve is tight, and tried the water, but not with soap. Will give that a shot this eve.
	1:41pm efd: @Krys O that's such a weird coincidence!
	1:41pm chris_in_space: whoa @ChukAmok, did we discuss that? I can't remember. Yeah, water works. As @dave wuz here says, check valve. If it's leaking air, there will be bubbles. I'm in the process of converting all of my "serious" bikes to tubeless.
	1:42pm Krys O.: @efd: I was looking up Madeline Kahn videos and the commercial came up. The really funny thing is that Kahn appears in the commercial, but they say Judy Kaye's name instead. Kaye replaced Kahn in the show.
	1:43pm aaronfromMI: Chuck, does it have a presta valva?
	1:44pm aaronfromMI: vale* It might be the presta valve core that's leaking. Do the water trick but hold the valve under the water too.
	1:45pm mrdonutsu: Meeting over. What did I miss?
	1:45pm aaronfromMI: apparently I can't type today....
	1:45pm chris_in_space: @ChukAmok what @aaronfromMI said
	1:48pm efd: @mrdonutsu Some covers, some boogie...
	1:49pm Handy Haversack: K8 took the dog over to a friend's since we're going upstate for her gig tomorrow and he can't stay with us. It feels so lonely in the apartment without him! The boogie, it helps fill the void!
	1:50pm aaronfromMI: we're getting our first dog on Saturday!!!
	1:51pm adampsyche: i totally forgot that this was today in the middle of the day
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: Nice, aaronfromMI! Where in MI are you?
	1:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - I just checked the venue's FAQ page and it says well-behaved dogs are allowed and must be leashed.
	1:53pm aaronfromMI: I grew up in Jackson Michigan. I currently live in Philadelphia.
	1:53pm Krys O.: OH, YES! My college friends and I used to dance our arses off to Junior!
	1:54pm chris_in_space: Oh man, I've loved this Junior track for many years, but never knew who did it! So slammin'!
	1:54pm ratso: I asked for a disco sucks iron-on shirt from the stall in the Englishtown auction and my mom was horrified I wanted a shirt with dirty language. I ended up with a black sabbath one.
	1:54pm Matt from OK: Oh dang. I love doing this one at karaoke nights.
	1:54pm Mike Sin: Do any "mature" folks have any favorite discos from back in the day? I was a bit young for the prime years, but around where I lived there was a hotel called the "Fantasy Island Hotel" and the club on site was called... "Tattoo's Disco Lounge"! When I was 13 years old, I wanted to go there so badly!
	1:55pm efd: @Ratso very similar to my experience!
	1:55pm Handy Haversack: Oh, he's been there before, Ken, but he can't come where we're staying. We had to prioritize proximity to the venue and couldn't really shop around. Plus, K8 is giving his spot in the car to her bass amp. The very idea! Cool, aaronfromMI. I know Jackson a little.
	1:55pm Joe R.: +1 on the Junior track, takes me back too
	1:55pm chris_in_space: @ratso ha, sounds like my mom, who had the t-shirt transfer people CUT OFF the words "Highway to Hell" from the bottom of my AC/DC shirt design. She was still on the fence about Angus's horns.
	1:55pm ChukAmok: Thanks @AaronfromMI and @chris-in-space! It is a presta valve and I will submerge the whole thing this evening. Got a double-flat last week, and...well, when it rains it pours.
	1:56pm ratso: @chris_in_space, ha, nicely played, Mom.
	1:56pm ChukAmok: Congrats on the dog!
	1:57pm Krys O.: @Mike Sin: I posted earlier about going to New York New York back in '78. There's a link to a site with deep info on that and other clubs of the day.
	2:02pm tim from washington: @Ratso - Better choice in the long run. One time my mom took me to the record store when I was 8th grade. She was the Mentors record in my hand as I headed for the counter. She said "NO! YOU ARE NOT KIDDING THAT RECORD!" Looking back my mom made the right call but for the wrong reasons. -hahaha
	2:03pm Mister Dobalina: Oh boy!
	2:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Clay Pigeon or S.A.M. needs to add a "That's right!" sound bite to the Wake 'n' Bake repertoire.
	2:07pm ratso: @tim from washington, indeed a better choice, and that's a pretty funny anecdote! @Ken FHP, that would totally work!
	2:07pm Ciggy: @Mike Sin ~ There was a Beefsteak Charlie's in Scarsdale on Central Avenue back in '78 that turned into a "Disco" on a particular weeknight called, Vamps. But it also transitioned into a "Rock Club" called, Syncopation, once featuring, Television!
	2:09pm Dean from Old Bridge: The boogie is sure to drag you down to Davies’ Jones Locker...yarrr!
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: Only two weeks and two days till the summer programming sched. changes. Seems impossible to believe. Isn't it still 2018?
	2:10pm Peter: She's terrible but I've always loved Penny McLean
	2:11pm Mike Sin: Hey, did this "mandolay" track chart? If not, how did I hear it? My cousins at the time were disco maniacs so maybe they were blasting it in their car or such... It just sounds so familiar.
	2:11pm bobsmart567: This show is FIRE
	2:13pm Mike Sin: @Krys O - Thank ye! @Ciggy - Beefsteak Charlies cleaning up in dual markets!
	2:14pm Krys O.: Beefsteak Charlie's! LOL!
	2:15pm ChukAmok: @Handy this summer has flown by too fast in so many different ways. It's been a pretty good one though!
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: We've had some rough spots, ChukAmok. Things are a little brighter here as it winds down, though. Feeling a little better equipped to handle things. Even occasionally pretend to be grown-ups!
	2:17pm Ciggy: @Mike Sin ~ 2 corrections: Hartsdale not Scarsdale (same thing when it's on Central Ave). It was 1977 not 1978.
	2:19pm Krys O.: I went to a disco called Detroit a couple of times in the early 80s in my hometown of Port Chester, NY. It was a club that Twisted Sister played A LOT.
	2:20pm ChukAmok: I know, Handy. Sorry, I had forgotten about some things and that was less than empathetic of me. I was mostly thinking about meeting you and K8 at Mama Tried. Beer! Music! Friends!
	2:20pm Krys O.: I'm fond of Donnie Iris too.
	2:20pm Si: I'm pretty sure the "pride of Pittsburgh" is actually Philly Boy Roy
	2:21pm Mister Dobalina: Hit us with ther horn!
	2:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Airhorn time!
	2:21pm Mister Dobalina: *the
	2:21pm Handy Haversack: Beer! Music! Friends! have been the best parts! Don't worry, ChukAmok -- you were not lacking empathy. Just noticing how weird a summer it's been. Social media ref whistle?
	2:21pm Joe R.: the social media whistle
	2:22pm Handy Haversack: Are disco whistles a thing?
	2:22pm Kat in Chicago: Airhorn > whistle, sorry
	2:22pm Mister Dobalina: I mainly tune to eFd fill-in's for the airhorn.
	2:23pm No: It was a good show until you started blowing that damn whistle.
	2:23pm Terre T: EFD!-U buried the lede on dat Mandolay story by mentioning da Donnie Iris connex last 😘😹
	2:24pm Ciggy: @Krys O ~ The Pretenders played their USA debut (as advertised on the radio) at Detroit in May 1980. I took my sister. She still talks about the show every holiday.
	2:25pm Terre T: BTW I have been listening but not logged into chat as I generally do, but u have FORCED me to comment: THIS SHOW ABSOLUTELY FREAGIN RULES
	2:26pm efd: THANK YOU TT!
	2:26pm suzyhotrod: Just getting in the work car. What an audio party while I’m physically and visually about to be stuck in traffic hell. Bring it EFD! I’m ready to boogie!
	2:26pm The Butterman: Whistle is much better than that godomoddy air horn! P-Funk shows had a ridiculous amount of audience whistleblowers. Deafening!!!!!! Great show EFD, even with my migraine.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: I like subtle differences between song and album titles from gary toms empire.
	2:28pm Mike Sin: @Krys O, @Ciggy -- When that club "Detroit" took out ad space on WNEW-FM they used the Good Rats' track "Taking it to Detroit" as a theme song!
	2:28pm Krys O.: @Ciggy: I missed that show, but my high school friends talked about it.
	2:29pm tim from washington: That's it! I'm calling the cops. This set should be against the law it's so good!
	2:29pm The Butterman: I meant to write goshamoddy. I lernt dat from Rex.
	2:29pm aaronfromMI: It's comedy night at work this evening. Glad I get to listen to this before I go in at 3 and have to listen to a few hours of terrible jokes.
	2:30pm Ciggy: Tasty!
	2:31pm Greg from ZONE 5: Awwwww yeah! Perfect time to jump in the car.
	2:32pm efd: @Handy and Gonzalez!
	2:33pm queems: HELL YES
	2:33pm Monica: This amazing Gonzalez track was written by singer/songwriter Gloria Jones who also wrote "Tainted Love" and who is mother of Marc Bolan's son.
	2:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Greg - The discomobile, you mean!
	2:34pm efd: @Monica Wow!! Thanks for that info!
	2:35pm tim from washington: MJ?
	2:35pm steveo: from now on i only want tracks subtly different names I MEAN IT
	2:35pm efd: @Monica and thank you for the fill-in opportunity back in 2006 that spawned the first-ever Disco/Dance Party show!
	2:35pm steveo: monica -- wow didn't know that!
	2:35pm efd: @tim all Js
	2:38pm Krys O.: Including Randy.
	2:38pm steveo: just scrolling the playlist up and down now because the way the background shines through the table borders is amazing (scroll your tables down to the ground)
	2:39pm Handy Haversack: steveo, that's off of /Scroll Your Tables Down/, right?
	2:40pm steveo: hah yes of course
	2:40pm Krys O.: Gosh, should have typed, Marlon? instead.
	2:46pm aaronfromMI: alright, off to serve people beer for the evening. Hopefully it cools down outside!
	2:47pm steveo: coffee is for closers
	2:47pm Krys O.: Thanks, efd! Such a great special!
	2:47pm tim from washington: Thanks a million, efd!
	2:48pm Stevel: Great show that my teen-aged self is still embarrassed about enjoying (get over it kid!)
	2:48pm oshiwoshi: gloria jones
	2:48pm efd: goddammit, who the hell is Gloria Wilson??
	2:49pm efd: (and thanks, oshiwoshi)
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: "Gloria J Wilson APRN-CNP is a highly skilled nurse practitioner practicing at Kettering Health Medical Group Primary Care -Walden Ponds."
	2:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Huzzah for disco nurses!
	2:50pm Handy Haversack: AND "gloria j. wilson is Co-Director/Founder of the Racial Justice Studio and Assistant Professor of Art and Visual Culture Education at the University of Arizona." Busy person!
	2:51pm Ciggy: Duh, another correction. Pretenders played Detroit (Port Chester) in March AND May 1980.
	2:51pm Monica: @efd - didn't remember that - super cool! and a legacy was born:) awesome show today- have been able to procrastinate a full day's work in a mere three hours!
	2:53pm Bootsie: There it is! :-)
	2:53pm efd: @monica It's been a pleasure having you here! @handy I don't know either of those Gloria Wilsons, hmm.
	2:53pm Krys O.: Luther!!!!
	2:53pm The Butterman: Handy, my brother threw me into Walden Pond as a kid. Can’t look at a pond or HD Thoreau now without reliving it.
	2:54pm Terre T: Man you guys are forcing me to comment: @Handy Haversack:"Are disco whistles a thing?" oh hell yeah- I actually have collected a few vintage faux-gem encrusted golden functional Disco whistles that also served as necklaces in da discos @steveo:"scrolling the playlist up and down now because the way the background shines through the table borders is amazing" I'm usually not on chat//looking at playlist BUT I just tried dat out -UR RIGHT- so sparkly + Discoleeeeshus @MikeSIN:", I've already popped my top off. Once I glue on my chest hair, I'll be back on the dancefloor!" 😂😂😂Because you just HAD to be completely shaved for the summer right? @Monica- Hello QUEEN! + also per informational note RE: "This amazing Gonzalez track was written by singer/songwriter Gloria Jones who also wrote "Tainted Love" and who is mother of Marc Bolan's son." WHAT and double WHATWHAT!!?!? That's fascinating- thanks! @EFD- What a great show today ( as always) my DJ brutha!!!
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: I just asked the internet for help, efd. It rarely provides. No wonder you were nervous on the Hudson, Butterman! Wow, Terre T, thanks for the info! I had no idea.
	2:57pm Kpx: This show demonstrates why the funk is in your name, I think everyone has been thoroughly boogieed. Stay cool, and try to stay cool on a day like today. Bye all.
	2:58pm Krys O.: Had Gloria Jones' Windstorm on LP. She is a goddess.
	2:58pm Faith: Great show!!
	2:58pm The Butterman: Handy, I was nervous BEFORE being on the Hudson. On the Hudson I was like a experienced seaman! Don’t say a word!
	2:58pm steveo: Haha great -- and nice to to "see" you Terre! Great show, lots of fun thanks Evan!
	2:58pm dale: thought that was luther and then i logged in and was confoosed.
	2:58pm Handy Haversack: Oh, dang! I did not realize it was so close to having boogied all the way down! Thanks, efd! Very glad to have been here!

August 26, 2021: Fill-in for Pseu's Thing With A Hook: The 13th Annual Evan "Funk" Davies Show Summertime Disco/Dance Party!

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

I'll admit it: in 1976 or '77, in thrall to punk rock, I sauntered into the Harvard Coop, a big department store in Harvard Square, made my way to the customized t-shirt department, and picked out a blank gold-colored shirt. I then selected the black block letters that I wanted to be heat-transferred onto that shirt:
D-I-S-C-O S-U-C-K-S.
Ultimately the shirt didn't get much use, though that was more because my Mom didn't care for the language.

Fast forward a few years and I'm in New York City in the summertime, between semesters at NYU. I still love punk and its offshoots, but listening to Ken "Spider" Webb and Ricky Ricardo and, of course the Chief Rocker Frankie Crocker on WBLS has made me realize the folly of that t-shirt. Fast forward some more and now every summer I start itching to play my favorite records from that era (give or take a few years) -- favorites I loved back then, and new favorites that I never heard back in the day.

In that spirit, I'm excited to bring you the 13th annual Evan "Funk" Davies Show Disco/Dance Party! It's three hours of classic dance and disco jams from the '70s and early '80s, plus some lost shoulda-been-hits that just might become your new faves. Hook up the disco ball, pull your rug back and turn up the volume. Everybody's dancin', everybody's on the beat, and there ain’t no stoppin' us now!

Disco/dance disclaimer! I'm keeping the lines blurry and using "disco" and "dance" as catch-all terms for my own take on fun dance music from the mid-70s to the early '80s, expanding the boundaries (and sound) of the traditional disco era. Don't @ me!

Listener comments!
	12:02pm Krys O.: Good afternoon! Got my boogie shoes on!
	12:02pm prof.fuzz: Disco grading party in progress!
	12:02pm Threemoons: AWESOME.
	12:02pm luka: funkin in broad daylight!!
	12:03pm HotTopicValuedCustomer: this booty is shakin. just trying to cover up this broken heart
	12:03pm luka: as a fellow recovering “disco sucks” person, i deeply appreciate this.
	12:03pm medson: You know it’s a good time when you leave the disco and it’s daylight
	12:03pm Kat in Chicago: Disco, take me away!
	12:03pm Will the Sound Guy: Good Afternoon efd and all!
	12:07pm dreamyandseedy: greetings! someone mentioned this special on a comment board yesterday and i am glad to be here
	12:07pm Threemoons: I need this upbeat music today. Super sleepy today; AC barely cut it last night and I ate dinner too late. Also, I was out of cheese and onions in the house which never happens, and I made the mistake of popping over to my Trade Fair while hungry. Well, deli-counter "buffalo chicken chunks" happened. When I got home I nuked them and had the whole little tray...each one was some odd, almost marshmellowy-fluffy concoction of who knows what part of the chicken and meat glue. It was oddly satisfying. Then I had a nip of Delta 8 syrup and an hour later I attacked some cold cuts. Result: Too much food before bed and my tongue STILL feels fuzzy from the syrup. Took a super minimal amount also; gotta remember to cut it with seltzer or something. Trying to switch from Tylenol PM and similar to that; less bad for your liver for sure but must time it with meals better. And yeah the Trade Fair chicken chunk thingies are oddly delicious in a horrifying way. I mean, I have had proper chicken meatballs. This was not that. This was the equivalent of the cheapest deli chicken loaf, REGROUND with MORE fillers and air and plopped out of an extractor and baked and then rolled in batter and fried. It's without a doubt the least healthy thing I've had to eat in the last 20 years.
	12:08pm olivia: Groovin!
	12:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: The official WFMU tiki torch disco balls are lit! 🪩
	12:09pm Anton: Omg that timpani made me chortle!!
	12:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: <mirror ball emoji above>
	12:13pm efd: hey everyone! Happy to have you here for the Disco/Dance Party this afternoon!
	12:14pm queems: SO PSYCHED
	12:15pm Martin: Party time.
	12:15pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks EFD. Daytime party
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Nice-looking party you got going here!
	12:16pm Mister Dobalina: Not a bad way to kick off a Thursday afternoon.
	12:19pm listener Rey: Hey EFD! What a treat, I was not expecting this for my Thursday afternoon.
	12:19pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Man, it is hot as Hades in Ottawa today--has been all week--and this music is only making it hotter!
	12:19pm Anton: I quit my job to dance to this show
	12:20pm melinda: Daytime disco party, what a treat!
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: Worth it, Anton!
	12:22pm LastWhiteRhino: This show is taking me back to the Soap factory "daze" in Palisades Park.
	12:23pm mrdonutsu: Might need to duck off to the club bathroom to put a little extra "sugar" in my coffee this morning.
	12:23pm happymaan: We're loving this show, thanks EFD.
	12:24pm LastWhiteRhino: Hey Evan... do DISCO fries come with this show????
	12:25pm Monica: Miquel Brown = Dance Party USA National Anthem
	12:25pm melinda: @mrdonutsu go for it, man!
	12:25pm happymaan: I've never heard of Disco Fries, I just looked the up. They sound amazing.
	12:26pm queems: i want to write a disco song called "one is plenty, thanks"
	12:26pm happymaan: mine would be called "I'm too tried to dance"
	12:26pm Anton: I agree, Handy! I would also listen to a “one is fine” song
	12:27pm Krys O.: Disco fries are decidedly Jersey and they remind me of college. Might have to replicate them at home.
	12:28pm LastWhiteRhino: Yup, Disco fries + Taylor ham/egg/cheese on a hard roll= Jersey Bliss !
	12:29pm Faith: In high school, I would take a double order of disco fries home from my job for dinner at least 3x a week. Usually went with mozz as my cheese, but sometimes a melted slice of plastic American cheese hits the spot.
	12:33pm Mister Dobalina: Don't ya'll mean.. poutine?
	12:34pm karlward: I for one welcome our new Disco Davies
	12:36pm Threemoons: @EFD Would I totally be out of sorts if I respectfully requested ANYTHING by Stevie Wonder, extra points for anything off of Songs in the Key of Life, and adoration if it's "Another Star??" Mucho gracias...
	12:36pm eastvanhalen: Having my first coffee, vaguely regretting that it's the wrong stimulant for the morning
	12:37pm Joe R.: wow, someone here will have to explain to me why a disco funk band chose the name “Platypus”
	12:38pm efd: @Threemoons this will be small consolation, but that specific song was actually rattling around in my head last night after I'd spent the day pulling records for this show. However - ironically - I did not pull that particular record.
	12:38pm efd: @Joe R I was wondering the same thing!
	12:38pm Krys O.: Ah, the UK Quick. Nice!
	12:39pm c2b3: hey people!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUH?!?!?!?!
	12:40pm Threemoons: @efd understood, don't want to upset the apple cart RE plans, but happy to know that it was in both of our thoughtstreams. "Another Star" is my absolute favorite "move yo ass" song in the AM....
	12:41pm Mister Dobalina: I was in my prime when a lot of this music came out, mainly 'cause I had just been born...but, whatever.
	12:42pm Threemoons: @efd Please tell me there will be Donna Sumer involved at some point....
	12:42pm Kat in Chicago: Found a recipe for Disco Fries. Got a project for the weekend now.
	12:43pm karlward: Because they can't be fit into any of your evolutionary trees
	12:47pm Threemoons: Real disco fries are the move. Shit, now I'm hungry again.
	12:51pm steveo: Good stuff, efd...I am boogieing down
	12:52pm Mike Sin: FYI -- Because it's 93 degrees, and I'm boogie-ing outside, I've already popped my top off. Once I glue on my chest hair, I'll be back on the dancefloor!
	12:54pm Anton: Love this Timmy Thomas sample soooooo much
	12:56pm Mister Dobalina: The Waverly diner near W4th has the best disco fries....
	12:58pm Krys O.: @Mister Dobalina: Thanks for bringing up the Waverly. Many fond memories of going there.
	1:00pm Mister Dobalina: I knew someone would say something...Cool beans, Krys.
	1:00pm Will the Sound Guy: Sweating from the heat outside and the heat of the beat on the stream....
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Same here, Krys. I had found the food had gone downhill steeply last time I was there. Hoping it was an aberration, but others have said the same.
	1:03pm Kat in Chicago: I miss the 24 hour diners of my Manhattan days!
	1:06pm Ciggy: "Looking Good" & sweating on the floor! Or, if you're outside right now...
	1:07pm Mister Dobalina: eFd...spinnin' those hits !
	1:08pm JPFluffhead: YESSSS LOVE GORDO!! Heard this disco cover for the first time recently. so good!
	1:09pm Krys O.: My one and only foray to a discotheque was to New York New York disco on 52nd between 5th/6th. My BIL at the time was a member. I think I was 1978 and I was 15 going on 16. Cool info about the clubs: www.disco-disco.com...
	1:10pm D Rok: Tough choice today between sticking with efd or switching over to Ursula1000 on the Sheena stream like I usually do on Thursdays. I feel like I've made the right call. AWESOME show so far efd!
	1:10pm tim from washington: Hi EFD. Break it down!
	1:11pm ChukAmok: Davies does Disco!
	1:11pm efd: @D Rok I appreciate it! Stiff competion for sure!
	1:11pm Ciggy: All I remember of The Kiev on 2nd &7th was coffee a blintz & being numb.
	1:13pm Mu Major: I really hope that the B-side of this was The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Or maybe Sundown
	1:13pm ChukAmok: Many a late night ended at Kiev.
	1:15pm johnk77: quoting from Allen Ginsberg: After midnite, Second Avenue horseradish Beef at Kiev’s wood tables
	1:16pm Ginny: As a teacher returning to school next week, I soooooo appreciate your "filling in" show today. Glad Pseu picked you and you are here!!!! Thanks, love it!!
	1:17pm efd: @Ginny thanks so much! And thank you for being a teacher... I hope your return is as healthy and stress-free as possible.
	1:18pm Monica: Remember making collect calls back home to Chicago in '78 from the pizza parlor that would soon become Kiev. You know you old when...
	1:19pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, much time at the Kiev. And the Odessa.
	1:20pm chris_in_space: Never thought I'd hear a disco version of Have a Cigar, but here we are.
	1:21pm Travisano66: The only good thing about this version of the Pink Floyd song is that it makes you hear the original in your head, and you realize how great it was.
	1:21pm Ciggy: @Krys O ~ did you ever drop in at Hoops in Mt Vernon?
	1:22pm efd: @Monica PRE-Kiev memories?? Dang that... was a long time ago!
	1:26pm ChukAmok: For a DJ that isn't on the weekly schedule this season this has certainly become the summer of E"F"D. Here for all of it!
	1:28pm ChukAmok: The Body Shop chain of skincare shops had a house band?!
	1:28pm Krys O.: Wow! I was just watching the TV commercial on YouTube for On the 20th Century: Madeline Kahn, Kevin Kline, John Cullum.
	1:29pm chris_in_space: @ChukAmok Ha, we're seeing how @efd can swiss army knife around the schedule during his summer vacaction, and I love it!
	1:30pm BH: Nobody expects the Disco Inquisition. (Unless they checked the schedule beforehand)
	1:31pm Krys O.: Yup, John Cullum. This is the commercial I saw yesterday: www.youtube.com...
	1:34pm ChukAmok: @chris_in_space So true! How's it going? Any tips on finding the source of a slow leak in a 700c tube? I've tried the water bubbles already, but no luck there.
	1:38pm dave wuz here: soapy water, check valve core is tight.
	1:39pm Mike W.: I’m not even into disco but I’m happy here, this is happymaking
	1:40pm ChukAmok: Thanks @dave wuz here! Valve is tight, and tried the water, but not with soap. Will give that a shot this eve.
	1:41pm efd: @Krys O that's such a weird coincidence!
	1:41pm chris_in_space: whoa @ChukAmok, did we discuss that? I can't remember. Yeah, water works. As @dave wuz here says, check valve. If it's leaking air, there will be bubbles. I'm in the process of converting all of my "serious" bikes to tubeless.
	1:42pm Krys O.: @efd: I was looking up Madeline Kahn videos and the commercial came up. The really funny thing is that Kahn appears in the commercial, but they say Judy Kaye's name instead. Kaye replaced Kahn in the show.
	1:43pm aaronfromMI: Chuck, does it have a presta valva?
	1:44pm aaronfromMI: vale* It might be the presta valve core that's leaking. Do the water trick but hold the valve under the water too.
	1:45pm mrdonutsu: Meeting over. What did I miss?
	1:45pm aaronfromMI: apparently I can't type today....
	1:45pm chris_in_space: @ChukAmok what @aaronfromMI said
	1:48pm efd: @mrdonutsu Some covers, some boogie...
	1:49pm Handy Haversack: K8 took the dog over to a friend's since we're going upstate for her gig tomorrow and he can't stay with us. It feels so lonely in the apartment without him! The boogie, it helps fill the void!
	1:50pm aaronfromMI: we're getting our first dog on Saturday!!!
	1:51pm adampsyche: i totally forgot that this was today in the middle of the day
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: Nice, aaronfromMI! Where in MI are you?
	1:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - I just checked the venue's FAQ page and it says well-behaved dogs are allowed and must be leashed.
	1:53pm aaronfromMI: I grew up in Jackson Michigan. I currently live in Philadelphia.
	1:53pm Krys O.: OH, YES! My college friends and I used to dance our arses off to Junior!
	1:54pm chris_in_space: Oh man, I've loved this Junior track for many years, but never knew who did it! So slammin'!
	1:54pm ratso: I asked for a disco sucks iron-on shirt from the stall in the Englishtown auction and my mom was horrified I wanted a shirt with dirty language. I ended up with a black sabbath one.
	1:54pm Matt from OK: Oh dang. I love doing this one at karaoke nights.
	1:54pm Mike Sin: Do any "mature" folks have any favorite discos from back in the day? I was a bit young for the prime years, but around where I lived there was a hotel called the "Fantasy Island Hotel" and the club on site was called... "Tattoo's Disco Lounge"! When I was 13 years old, I wanted to go there so badly!
	1:55pm efd: @Ratso very similar to my experience!
	1:55pm Handy Haversack: Oh, he's been there before, Ken, but he can't come where we're staying. We had to prioritize proximity to the venue and couldn't really shop around. Plus, K8 is giving his spot in the car to her bass amp. The very idea! Cool, aaronfromMI. I know Jackson a little.
	1:55pm Joe R.: +1 on the Junior track, takes me back too
	1:55pm chris_in_space: @ratso ha, sounds like my mom, who had the t-shirt transfer people CUT OFF the words "Highway to Hell" from the bottom of my AC/DC shirt design. She was still on the fence about Angus's horns.
	1:55pm ChukAmok: Thanks @AaronfromMI and @chris-in-space! It is a presta valve and I will submerge the whole thing this evening. Got a double-flat last week, and...well, when it rains it pours.
	1:56pm ratso: @chris_in_space, ha, nicely played, Mom.
	1:56pm ChukAmok: Congrats on the dog!
	1:57pm Krys O.: @Mike Sin: I posted earlier about going to New York New York back in '78. There's a link to a site with deep info on that and other clubs of the day.
	2:02pm tim from washington: @Ratso - Better choice in the long run. One time my mom took me to the record store when I was 8th grade. She was the Mentors record in my hand as I headed for the counter. She said "NO! YOU ARE NOT KIDDING THAT RECORD!" Looking back my mom made the right call but for the wrong reasons. -hahaha
	2:03pm Mister Dobalina: Oh boy!
	2:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Clay Pigeon or S.A.M. needs to add a "That's right!" sound bite to the Wake 'n' Bake repertoire.
	2:07pm ratso: @tim from washington, indeed a better choice, and that's a pretty funny anecdote! @Ken FHP, that would totally work!
	2:07pm Ciggy: @Mike Sin ~ There was a Beefsteak Charlie's in Scarsdale on Central Avenue back in '78 that turned into a "Disco" on a particular weeknight called, Vamps. But it also transitioned into a "Rock Club" called, Syncopation, once featuring, Television!
	2:09pm Dean from Old Bridge: The boogie is sure to drag you down to Davies’ Jones Locker...yarrr!
	2:09pm Handy Haversack: Only two weeks and two days till the summer programming sched. changes. Seems impossible to believe. Isn't it still 2018?
	2:10pm Peter: She's terrible but I've always loved Penny McLean
	2:11pm Mike Sin: Hey, did this "mandolay" track chart? If not, how did I hear it? My cousins at the time were disco maniacs so maybe they were blasting it in their car or such... It just sounds so familiar.
	2:11pm bobsmart567: This show is FIRE
	2:13pm Mike Sin: @Krys O - Thank ye! @Ciggy - Beefsteak Charlies cleaning up in dual markets!
	2:14pm Krys O.: Beefsteak Charlie's! LOL!
	2:15pm ChukAmok: @Handy this summer has flown by too fast in so many different ways. It's been a pretty good one though!
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: We've had some rough spots, ChukAmok. Things are a little brighter here as it winds down, though. Feeling a little better equipped to handle things. Even occasionally pretend to be grown-ups!
	2:17pm Ciggy: @Mike Sin ~ 2 corrections: Hartsdale not Scarsdale (same thing when it's on Central Ave). It was 1977 not 1978.
	2:19pm Krys O.: I went to a disco called Detroit a couple of times in the early 80s in my hometown of Port Chester, NY. It was a club that Twisted Sister played A LOT.
	2:20pm ChukAmok: I know, Handy. Sorry, I had forgotten about some things and that was less than empathetic of me. I was mostly thinking about meeting you and K8 at Mama Tried. Beer! Music! Friends!
	2:20pm Krys O.: I'm fond of Donnie Iris too.
	2:20pm Si: I'm pretty sure the "pride of Pittsburgh" is actually Philly Boy Roy
	2:21pm Mister Dobalina: Hit us with ther horn!
	2:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Airhorn time!
	2:21pm Mister Dobalina: *the
	2:21pm Handy Haversack: Beer! Music! Friends! have been the best parts! Don't worry, ChukAmok -- you were not lacking empathy. Just noticing how weird a summer it's been. Social media ref whistle?
	2:21pm Joe R.: the social media whistle
	2:22pm Handy Haversack: Are disco whistles a thing?
	2:22pm Kat in Chicago: Airhorn > whistle, sorry
	2:22pm Mister Dobalina: I mainly tune to eFd fill-in's for the airhorn.
	2:23pm No: It was a good show until you started blowing that damn whistle.
	2:23pm Terre T: EFD!-U buried the lede on dat Mandolay story by mentioning da Donnie Iris connex last 😘😹
	2:24pm Ciggy: @Krys O ~ The Pretenders played their USA debut (as advertised on the radio) at Detroit in May 1980. I took my sister. She still talks about the show every holiday.
	2:25pm Terre T: BTW I have been listening but not logged into chat as I generally do, but u have FORCED me to comment: THIS SHOW ABSOLUTELY FREAGIN RULES
	2:26pm efd: THANK YOU TT!
	2:26pm suzyhotrod: Just getting in the work car. What an audio party while I’m physically and visually about to be stuck in traffic hell. Bring it EFD! I’m ready to boogie!
	2:26pm The Butterman: Whistle is much better than that godomoddy air horn! P-Funk shows had a ridiculous amount of audience whistleblowers. Deafening!!!!!! Great show EFD, even with my migraine.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: I like subtle differences between song and album titles from gary toms empire.
	2:28pm Mike Sin: @Krys O, @Ciggy -- When that club "Detroit" took out ad space on WNEW-FM they used the Good Rats' track "Taking it to Detroit" as a theme song!
	2:28pm Krys O.: @Ciggy: I missed that show, but my high school friends talked about it.
	2:29pm tim from washington: That's it! I'm calling the cops. This set should be against the law it's so good!
	2:29pm The Butterman: I meant to write goshamoddy. I lernt dat from Rex.
	2:29pm aaronfromMI: It's comedy night at work this evening. Glad I get to listen to this before I go in at 3 and have to listen to a few hours of terrible jokes.
	2:30pm Ciggy: Tasty!
	2:31pm Greg from ZONE 5: Awwwww yeah! Perfect time to jump in the car.
	2:32pm efd: @Handy and Gonzalez!
	2:33pm queems: HELL YES
	2:33pm Monica: This amazing Gonzalez track was written by singer/songwriter Gloria Jones who also wrote "Tainted Love" and who is mother of Marc Bolan's son.
	2:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Greg - The discomobile, you mean!
	2:34pm efd: @Monica Wow!! Thanks for that info!
	2:35pm tim from washington: MJ?
	2:35pm steveo: from now on i only want tracks subtly different names I MEAN IT
	2:35pm efd: @Monica and thank you for the fill-in opportunity back in 2006 that spawned the first-ever Disco/Dance Party show!
	2:35pm steveo: monica -- wow didn't know that!
	2:35pm efd: @tim all Js
	2:38pm Krys O.: Including Randy.
	2:38pm steveo: just scrolling the playlist up and down now because the way the background shines through the table borders is amazing (scroll your tables down to the ground)
	2:39pm Handy Haversack: steveo, that's off of /Scroll Your Tables Down/, right?
	2:40pm steveo: hah yes of course
	2:40pm Krys O.: Gosh, should have typed, Marlon? instead.
