Listener comments!

  9:02pm
G:

crankin' it
  9:02pm
Danne D:

It's Time for the FUNK!
  9:04pm
Danne D:

My user name looks particularly good in this font, I must say.
  9:05pm
john:

Played this album almost to dust one summer, several hundred years ago. Still makes me want to get up and run around the block.
  9:05pm
G:

Showoff :-P
  9:05pm
Danne D:

M!
Nice start, Mr. Davies.
  9:06pm
Parq:

Woo, something from the 70s followed by a goddam ICON from the 70s.
  9:07pm
G:

1978, a third of a CENTURY ago. almost yesterday, sigh!
  9:07pm
glenn:

why do i get the feeling they wanted to call it pop muzak but the sire lawyers said no?
  9:13pm
T-Zero:

@Evan: Wow! "M" Was surprised to hear that. I loved the Official Secrets Act
  9:15pm
efd:

Hi everyone! Thanks for listening tonight.

Glenn, I hear what you're saying but at this point it's hard to imagine "muzak" fitting in that song as well as "muzik" does.

G, it's alarming how time passes!

John, you're talking about the Rich Kids album? It's a good one. How's the doggie doing?

Danne, nice to have you here a little earlier than usual tonight.

T-Zero, I aim to please. And surprise.
  9:15pm
glenn:

i think al kooper produced this tubes album. a little surprising.
  9:16pm
efd:

Todd Rundgren, actually, but Al Kooper's not a bad thought either.
  9:18pm
glenn:

i just finished his autobiography. way better than keith richard's book, in my opinion. anyway, he produces a tubes album, maybe the first one.
  9:18pm
mark:

that chaz jankel sounded reminiscent of lindsay/scherer's ambitious lovers. very "cool" start to show.
  9:19pm
glenn:

his tales of lynyrd skynyrd are pretty funny, too.
  9:19pm
cheesy macaroni salad:

yeah!
  9:21pm
Dave B:

TUBES!

Made it just in time!!! This one's a gem.

Speaking of wierd production... Grand Funk Railroad/Zappa "Good Singin', Good Playin'"... That album kills.

What up, EFD?
  9:21pm
john:

Hey Evan! Yeah, the Rich Kids record--can't quite recall which summer it was I played it to death, but it was a few years after it came out, maybe '82. And thanks for asking, dog had a rough night last night, but we think it was the antibiotics rather than the chemo and he's had a good day today!
  9:24pm
Richard from Venezuela:

Good evening Evan and all the listeners.
  9:24pm
Vinnie Vincent:

digging the Tubes
  9:25pm
efd:

John, glad that today's been an improvement - here's hoping that will continue.

Dave, I need to go back and listen to that Grand Funk Zappa-produced LP, I'd forgotten about that one. I really love the way this LP side unfolds, and the mark of Todd is all over it.

Glenn, you're right - Al Kooper produced the first Tubes album.

What up, cheesy macaroni salad?!

Hi Richard, Mark, Vinnie v - glad you're enjoying the show so far!
  9:25pm
jim:

Shitty ass pseudo hall and oates yacht rock crap
  9:27pm
Vinnie Vincent:

re: grand Funk/Zappa....the pro gun song is crazy awful good ridiculous (all four)
  9:27pm
Vinnie Vincent:

i hate doing math
  9:27pm
Kat:

I'm kind of fascinated by this Tubes side. Completely missed it the first time around.
  9:28pm
glenn:

i don't necessarily agree, but at least i have a good new term for m.o.r. music . yacht rock. i like it.
  9:28pm
Danne D:

Hey John, I just finished a course of antibiotics (for my tooth) and I was out today as I think they've caught up with me. Glad your pupper is improving :)

yacht rock - there's a phrase I ain't heard in a long time.

EFD - you like my sneaky pitcher stashings over the last couple of weeks :) Hoping Santana and Strasbourg works some magic in September.
  9:28pm
mike east:

Honored to be listening this evening Evan. Hey everybody.
  9:29pm
Danne D:

We got Love Bomb...perhaps something for ELP's Love Beach isn't far behind? ;o)
  9:29pm
dale:

this is really the tubes? for real? the tubes?
  9:29pm
dale:

really?
  9:29pm
Dave B:

Love Bomb is THE Bomb.

Todd is God.

@Jim - Todd and Daryl are both Philly boys. I recently had this debate with a friend as to who was trying to emulate whom. The "Live At Daryl's" house where the two of them are actually playing at Todd's place in Hawaii is surprisingly good.

Look at me, talking like I know em personally..
  9:30pm
glenn:

or ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch CHERRY BOMB!!
  9:30pm
Dave B:

and, please NO to Love Beach.

Maybe side one of Tarkus?
  9:31pm
mark:

btw - todd also produced the remote control lp - always liked that one.
  9:31pm
Vinnie Vincent:

bwa ha ha. love beach
  9:32pm
Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

Oh Shoot White The White Punks on Dope Tubes... haha
  9:32pm
Kat:

Didn't Rundgren produce Hall & Oates at some point?
  9:32pm
Danne D:

LOL Dave B, was joking about Love Beach. I named my first car the Tarkus btw :) Always can go for a little Eruption
  9:33pm
glenn:

he produced a pretty great pursuit of happiness record.
  9:34pm
Danne D:

Classic (Unfortunate) Album Cover for Love Beach:
http://mitkadem.homestead.com/files/ELP/ELP_Love_Beach.jpg
  9:35pm
dale:

'urge overkill' is the first words I heard my one year old nephew say when asked what his big brother was listening to.
  9:36pm
Danne D:

WOO! It's time for the FUNK! And the best theme song around.
  9:37pm
glenn:

ummmmmm, how old was his big brother?
  9:37pm
Dave B:

Daryl Hall's first solo album "Sacred Song" part 3 of the Robert Fripp "Exposure" Peter Gabriel #2 "Scratch" triptych.
  9:38pm
Danne D:

Perhaps Evan should start his show with something from Love Beach (starting with the 70s as it were) the next time his show falls on 4/1. (Don't worry that's not until 2015).
  9:39pm
Danne D:

Wow Love Beach actually was a Gold Record.
  9:39pm
G:

@Kat: Scroll down below Rundgren's own records on the following page for a chrono list of his production credits --

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Rundgren_discography
  9:41pm
Dave B:

and quite possibly the best cover of W.P.O.D. - EVER!

  9:41pm
Dave B:

@Danne D - more like a "Gold Turd"
  9:44pm
G:

Robin Scott is still alive and kickin'
  9:45pm
john:

And let's not forget Midge ditching Visage, pre-Ultravox for a few months touring with Thin Lizzy!
  9:45pm
Noah:

Sadly Schoolly D canceled only a few hours ago.....
  9:45pm
Jalopy K:

not sure who was hating on the tubes but that was the soundtrack to the biggest dance party i've had in my car for quite some time now
  9:46pm
G:

AW MAN, NO SCHOOLLY
  9:47pm
Danne D:

This is great :)

went on a little side trip - looking up crap about Love Beach and that got me thinking of some of those obscure one-off Prog Rock albums (like "3") and I've come to realize that there's a fan for pretty much any album out there - even stuff that I realize was pretty bad in hindsight.
  9:47pm
Danne D:

Sorry to hear that Schoolly's out :( Hope it's just a postponement and that he'll be on your show soon, Noah.
  9:50pm
Dave B:

Schooly was "lookin at his Gucci"
  9:50pm
Alice Cooper:

Schoolly's out completely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9:51pm
Danne D:

I'm gonna recede into listening mode now. Was out sick today and really need to rest up. But I'll stay tuned in. Thanks for putting on a great show like you always do, Evan! Enjoy Funk Fans :)
  9:51pm
Dave B:

@Danne D - I recently went on a Van Der Graff Generator bender.

It was shocking.
  9:52pm
G:

Shockingly bad, or shockingly good?
  9:53pm
Kat:

@G: Ah, War Babies. No wonder I didn't remember. I see he did the Tubes record right before Skylarking - interesting mental juxtaposition there.
  9:53pm
john:

Hey Schoolly School, what time IS it?
  9:53pm
Dave B:

kinda both, if that's even possible.
  9:54pm
G:

yep, some on that whole rundgren production list i knew, others i didn't
  9:56pm
Dave B:

AYE
PEE
BEA!
  9:56pm
david in denver:

is kid congo really senor coconut?
  9:57pm
Vinnie Vincent:

Todd has had such a weird and interesting production career.
  10:01pm
Kat:

Oh dear, I suddenly remember having a conversation of sorts with a member of APB after their show in Chicago back in the day... I think he was hitting on me but he was so polite and his accent was so incomprehensible that I couldn't be sure!
  10:01pm
T-Zero:

@Danne D: Was off in another room for a sec, searching for something. I must say, I liked Gruppo Sportivo, which may or may not fall in that category of "not so good".

And in my hunt... realized I haven't played either The Leather Nun or The Flying Lizards for a long time.
  10:02pm
Chris Sims:

How dare yous insult Philly's finest, Hall & Oates!
  10:03pm
Dave B:

The Flying Leather Lizard Nun!
  10:05pm
John Sterling:

That is Swishalicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10:07pm
T-Zero:

... and The Photos and The Flyboys
  10:07pm
Brooklynite:

Dem two's da finest Philly's got?
  10:10pm
Vinnie Vincent:

woo hoo! new bob!
  10:12pm
Dave B:

J-STACHE!

  10:14pm
12539:

This is as good a time as any to say that this show is going great, Mr Funk.
  10:17pm
efd:

Thanks, Mr. or Ms. 12539!
  10:18pm
Julie:

Hey, music!
  10:18pm
Brooklynite:

12359 is his listener #
  10:19pm
Vinnie Vincent:

this reens tune is quite nice
  10:20pm
Lil Funk:

Is it really possible that the Smithereens have not changed since 1989?
  10:20pm
efd:

Brooklynite, I knew that but I wasn't sure if it was a him or a her.

Vinne, this Smithereens album is really great all the way through.

Hi Julie!
  10:21pm
Vinnie Vincent:

dennis has got to be one of the rock finest drummers alive
  10:22pm
efd:

They're the same, but better!
  10:22pm
Lil Funk:

PS outstanding walk-off homer by Ellsbury with 2 down in the bottom of the 9th!
  10:23pm
efd:

VV, the drumming at the end of that song I just played is particularly choice. In fact, we'll hear it again presently.

LF - woo-hoo! Second walk-off in a row for him, right?
  10:23pm
Julie:

Is this appropriate dish-washing music? I suppose it is.
  10:23pm
Brooklynite:

I'm no vet, but he's said he was a he in the past, quite possibly on some other show! Maybe he'll do a Wiener and remove all doubt! :-)
  10:24pm
Lil Funk:

Yup, sorta-- he singled in the winning run last night. So I suppose he got to walk off the field afterward...
  10:26pm
12539:

(Sorry, but no Wiener. I am a he, though.)
  10:27pm
Amanda:

Hey efd and everyone! Just getting in now. Seeing that I missed the Rich Kids opening made me do a facepalm.
  10:27pm
Brooklynite:

sorry about the teasing!
  10:28pm
12539:

No problem at all.
  10:37pm
T-Zero:

the butterfly and i -- nice!
  10:38pm
calzone!:

Swell Shocking Blue track! Dig the big beat and tramb Bonies!
  10:38pm
Bananarama:

Maybe we should remake this.
  10:38pm
Holly in NC:

Hi Evan! Looking forward to tonight's show.
@Danne, antibiotics can do crazy unwanted things to your body even as they do their good jobs, so rest up and take care. I'm gonna join you in listener-only mode as I'm feeling a wee bit heat sick. But I will be thinking EXCELLENT thoughts at y'all as I lounge in a feet-up reclining position ;-)
@Noah - :-( He is rescheduling, yes?
  10:40pm
Bigass Carolina Bugs:

The heat is too damn HOT!
  10:41pm
efd:

Hi Holly, hi Amanda! The Evan "Funk" Davies show on WFMU, inducing facepalms since 2004!

T-Zero & calzone! - yeah, I love the horn section on that Shocking Blue song. Psyched to see the reissue tonight!
  10:46pm
T-Zero:

@eft: Yeppers. Wouldn't mind hearing that again :)
  10:52pm
Noah:

I doubt Schoolly will reschedule, he was coming up to promote his show this Friday at Maxwell's.....
  10:55pm
Looking at It:

It turned out that he got a lot of publicity from FMU without having to travel extra. His website says he's due 200 miles south of here in Baltimore tomorrow (the 4th).
  10:55pm
Danne D:

okay popped back for a few comments :)

WTG Ellsbury. Way to help out the New Jersey Knuckles of the EFDHHDYDTY Fantasy Baseball League

Hiya Julie :) Hiya Amanda :) hiya other late-board-jumper-onners

@T-Zero I guess my point was more that every album has its fans as it were :) Dunno from Groupo Sportivo I must say

@Vinnie Vincent - DD is the only drummer I'll ever perform with (Well, okay I'd probably make an exception to that rule for EFD)

@Holly Feel better! Drink your fluids and I appreciate your kind thoughts :)

@Noah Sorry to hear that :( But your show is always quality so no worries :)

@efd - strange night. I got here early and Amanda got here late. It's like bizarro world :)
  10:57pm
G:

@Danne: This is you *sick*???? Get well soon!
  11:03pm
T-Zero:

@Danne D: Re every album has its fans.... Yes, that's what I thought you meant and agreed. Gruppo Sportivo were a Dutch (mid 70's pop/post-punk) group. Wikipedia says they're still active, but after the 80s I didn't follow.
  11:04pm
Dave B:

K - i need to tap out.

Til next time, fair listen/comment-ers...

EFD - cya!
  11:07pm

@gift horse -
:-)
  11:22pm
dave:

oh boy am i loving this BSI track.
  11:22pm
efd:

blah, the folks who called in for those tickets say thanks for liking different stuff from what they like.
  11:23pm
Siriusly:

Is BSI a form of yoga?
  11:26pm
efd:

I could be wrong, but I think there are a bunch of people downstairs in the entryway who are hoping to meet Schoolly D.
  11:27pm
G:

holy crap, good luck ev
  11:27pm
Sister Hairy Hymen:

Grear show been listening all night Yiu put the T in trip
  11:27pm
Danne D:

You sure they aren't just your usual post-show groupies, Evan?
  11:27pm
dave:

yeah, i actually sprained my perrosky going from downward-facing dog to a blue sausage infant pose.
  11:30pm
dave:

i TOTALLY dare you to rustle up a pair of ray-bans and go down there and start signing autographs as schoolly "funk" d.
  11:31pm

This is excellent evan
  11:31pm
KP:

i mean BSI!
  11:31pm
P.E.:

i'd say yo, call for help, but 911 is a JOKE
  11:33pm
efd:

Everything's under control, turns out it's a band that was here for a taping earlier and they're waiting for the rain to let up or something.
  11:36pm
Danne D:

Anyhow, I'm checking out for real this time. Thanks for a great show, Evan - it's like an affirmation that there are, in fact, that there are things that are purely good in this world.

Have a great night all!
  11:37pm
Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

well under control good! but Gravesend brooklyn here and always at your service ..

awesome
  11:41pm
E.L.:

When a local retail outfit is playing The Beatles, I sometimes ask, "Who is this?" Inevitably they say, "The Beatles." Then I ask, "Are they local?" Result: everyone hates me— which is fair.
  11:43pm
efd:

E.L., coincidentally Noah was in here when that song was on saying "Who is this? The Beatles?"
  11:44pm
Reggie Dwight:

Yeah, he got it on the second try.

JOhn Guggle:

Love this Coathangers track. Good looks, efd.
  11:58pm
Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network ):

Like George Clinton once said, "Disco is like Making Love with one stroke !" but I dig the earlier stuff like from '74 '75 say before it was like Molded into that one beat ....
  11:59pm
efd:

cool, thanks John and thanks to everyone for listening and commenting!

E.L., if it does become an inferno I'm not sure if the happy people will want to go there.
  11:59pm
