	9:19pm Danne D: Hi EL :)
	9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - is Dave Hill singing - ??
	9:20pm Eddy in Australia: Hi EFD and everyone. @RRN63: The single "Independence Day" was a classic, first album was pretty good. I lost track after that.
	9:21pm Loretta: Hi all!!!! yes, it's also very nippy down here in south FL.... even my kitty is a bit chilly..
	9:21pm Holly in NC: @RRN63 - Like their 'hit' Independence Day
	9:21pm efd: Greetings commenters, listeners and lurkers! Thanks so much for tuning in tonight!
	9:21pm efd: @RRN63 yes, that was indeed Dave Hill singing, and also playing guitar
	9:22pm Holly in NC: @Eddy in Australia - once again, great minds ;-)
	9:22pm Danne D: Hi Holly :)
	9:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & pray tell - what is nippy for a Floridian? : ) ...
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: Loretta...ha ha cute kat We had a cute tabby Mercedes but she passed on in 2006 or so...she was always up for a human cat wrestling match! and usually won.
	9:24pm CuddleUp: Mercedes: good cat name
	9:25pm LovecraftDude888: never heard of Straight Lines I don't think....wow these guys are obscure. Just play some Pablo Cruise haha ..not /yep Mercedes she was as cute as it gets,,very quiet she would only meow once a year
	9:25pm LovecraftDude888: yet bite me at every opportunity!
	9:26pm CuddleUp: Love this version
	9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - DaveHill plays guitar on his show - lotsa three-finger trills & hammer-ons - comically over-the-top - but also kinda - shred.
	9:27pm P-90: @Rabbit: Do you play?!!
	9:27pm Loretta: @RRN63 ~ going to hit the freezing mark tonight! pets & plants need to come in. I paid my dues living in Westchester Co. for about '?' years.. froze my butt off!
	9:27pm Eddy in Australia: @Holly: Yikes! And would you believe I'd been listening to "Back to Nature" recently, too? (It's on the Death in Vegas edition of the Back to Mine series.)
	9:28pm cee dubbles: oh man I so thought Hush would intro your theme song!
	9:28pm Stevel: So, Billy Joe Royal's "Hush" would explain why Deep Purple never had another song that sounded like that, eh?
	9:29pm LovecraftDude888: you could play Nu Musik Straight Lines...as a bookend bit
	9:30pm Holly in NC: Nippy for a North Carolinian sans central heating = 20F outside, currently low 40sF in house. Layers. 2 comforters. 3 cats keep me warm, + vice versa. Space heaters used solely & intermittently for pipes in kitchen & bathroom. Actually not horrible except pissed off about olive oil solidified in pantry, I need to bring said oil to bed with cats & me. Strange bedfellows, indeed ;-)
	9:31pm Stevel: Holly: No judgement offered on bedding down with olive oil. Really.
	9:31pm LovecraftDude888: It's saying 12 F. NYC right now....wow that's a bit kinky, HollyNC. it was like The Shining yet again last night....that's storm Shining #2 already here I even screened The Shining the week I moved and got new big TV.....but before Storm #1
	9:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - w/ windchill expected 15belowF here tonight. Keep our oranges safe there! P90: Anyone don't play guitar - ?!? Why no heating Holly ??
	9:32pm P-90: There's that scratchin" sound!
	9:33pm LovecraftDude888: oops getting dropouts in the streaming
	9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if they're adult cats & consent to olive oil - yerknow... - yeah one dropout.
	9:34pm P-90: @LoveC: thanks, I thought that was my brain
	9:35pm darue: was just listing to the Bongos today. Great band, thanks for the clue about the "new" album.
	9:35pm P-90: Yo, Kenzo or Whoever: It's "oscilllating" on/off agin, FYI
	9:35pm Loretta: is anyone else's sound going on & off?
	9:36pm LovecraftDude888: nah I'm getting dropout action...but board is ok. Word..I just read Captain and Tenille are splitting up...yep, the End Times have finally come
	9:36pm Danne D: I grew up near Cherry Hill Park :)
	9:36pm Holly in NC: Olive oil staying IN the bottle, guys! @RRN63 - furnace kicked bucket several years ago (right after my housemate & I purchased house from my landlord at height of sub prime mortgage nonsense, don't ask) and well, due to vagaries of life we still are nowhere near able to replace.
	9:36pm Uncle Michael: Cherry Hill Park is FILTH! That trollop!
	9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - huh - I had one dropout w/ iTunes.
	9:36pm LovecraftDude888: see, the Russian Olympic terrorists are having at us already here!
	9:36pm Mike East: restart the stream and it should be fine. sorry I'm late everybody! Evening all!
	9:36pm darue: no net problems here in oregon, probably local network congestion.
	9:36pm Danne D: just re-connect Loretta :)
	9:37pm Loretta: thanks all!
	9:37pm Uncle Michael: stream is fine here
	9:37pm 12539: (Stream is fine for me)
	9:37pm LovecraftDude888: i did now it's keen
	9:37pm steve: restarting the stream worked for me
	9:38pm P-90: @LoveC: Please tell me you were being flip and facetious when you posted about Darryl & Toni! Bite your tongue!
	9:38pm ScottC: streaming loud and clear here in Alameda CA
	9:39pm Holly in NC: Stream a-ok here
	9:40pm P-90: Pop Up poppin' fresh now after restart
	9:40pm LovecraftDude888: nope I swear to God I just read this on Yahoo header story on home page. Oof. I was just catching up with them on Toni's site maybe a year ago or less. I have a soft spot for them from childhood....and the fact that she supp. sings on The Wall but might've been erased later
	9:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Harsh Holly! It's no time to go heatless...
	9:41pm P-90: Is no bond sacred?
	9:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love Will Tear Us Apart
	9:42pm EL: All right. East Link.
	9:42pm Mike East: I love the line "starting with the 70's as we pretty much always do on the Evan Funk Davies show..." just like I love Rex's shpeal (saturday afternoon tradition, 2 hour excursion...to nowhere, etc) Always puts a smile on my face.
	9:42pm P-90: Why oh why
	9:43pm LovecraftDude888: Man that is harsh. Plus Darryl's got parkinson's or whatever it is. Awful. "Sedaka is there" etc. not no mo'
	9:44pm earrie: It'd be fun if there were an 'everybody switch' switch to the stream. A little splash o'random to the addressing, say. And by fun, I mean, y'know, not fun-fun.
	9:44pm P-90: Sedaka is there?
	9:45pm jmd: Ha! Before looking I thought the lyric was "I'm on angel dust, you're on angel dust.' Yipes!
	9:45pm LovecraftDude888: isn't that the ad lib at end of Love Will K Us Together? She throws that in...."Sedaka is there" he wrote it or whatever
	9:45pm Uncle Michael: "Sedaka is back" not an adlib.
	9:46pm Mike East: I always heard it as Sedaka is back
	9:46pm P-90: Oh, I thought Neil was negotiating a truce or something.
	9:46pm LovecraftDude888: Neil cowrote it with some other guy...right UM that's correct "Sedaka iS BacK" I heard it as a kid as "Sedaka Is There" which makes no sense
	9:47pm LovecraftDude888: which was a plug for his "comeback" LP and all that
	9:48pm 12539: This is okay, but it's no Starbreaker.
	9:49pm Holly in NC: @@RRN63, seriously, it's OK - look at my avatar - I took that pic last year, and it's what I'm wearing right now except I don't yet need the hoodie. PLUS I have an extra WFMU hoodie this year for when it gets super frigid next week! I LOVE eastlink. Captain & Tennile have a special place in my heart, even though I was forbidden to listen to their big hit. Their version of Muskrat Love sucks, but led me to Willis Alan Ramsey, so all good.
	9:49pm Uncle Michael: I think there's one Sedaka song I like.
	9:49pm P-90: @LoveC: I remember that comeback, went pretty well. Saw him on the Dinah Shore Show etc, lookin' and soundin' real good, w/some solid new beats
	9:49pm efd: haha! Fair enough, 12539.
	9:50pm Mike East: I can't find my fmu hoodie. did one of yous guys steal it?
	9:50pm LovecraftDude888: as a kid I didn't know Sedaka from Sanka
	9:51pm LovecraftDude888: ha...my fave is Iggy and Bowie on Dinah..that was a real goof
	9:51pm jmd: @Mike East: I've got this one and this one. Is it this one?
	9:51pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD: I forgot to compliment you on your excellent pronunciation of 'Melbourne' the last time you played Eastlink! BTW: I think you might also like another local band, Ausmuteants: dodgy name, great EP, haven't heard their album yet.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Iggy: 'I think I helped end the 60s!'...
	9:52pm efd: @Mike East I'm wearing mine right now!
	9:52pm Loretta: @LCD888 ~ that sounds like a must see ;)
	9:52pm LovecraftDude888: oh no the Circle Jerks covered LWKUsTog.!! so scary
	9:52pm Mike East: It might me, jmd. is it a large? I love that hoodie.
	9:53pm Mike East: be not me
	9:53pm LovecraftDude888: I'm wearing my Ramones hoodie that cost too much i got about 3 yrs. ago at Utopia....a scary shop that should be closed but still going somehow. yeah the Dinah iggy and bowie bit is a must see
	9:53pm efd: @Eddy, wait, how did I pronounce it? Now I'm going to be worried I'll pronounce it differently/incorrectly!
	9:53pm P-90: I honestly don't remember the "Neal is ..." at the end of the song, in those days, DJ's were probably talking over the end themselves every time I heard it, barbaric as that sounds
	9:54pm Holly in NC: @Eddy - burning question - East Link or Eastlink ? Even my most trusted Aussie fiends seem to waffle. And Ausmuteants lp is very, very good.
	9:54pm P-90: Melbin'
	9:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MikeSin on drums ! I was thinkin' what a great Wh♂-ish track it was !...
	9:55pm LovecraftDude888: that's possible too. Towards the fade-out or whatever. Sedaka is Back..heehee Toni swears she was at a Wall show 1980 and some teenage kid goes to her "oh no, IT'S YOU what are YOU doing here!??" haha!
	9:55pm jmd: Yup. Pseu Braun confirms Captain and Tennille divorce. I believe all of you, but I trust in Pseu.
	9:55pm Alex of Chicago: Certain DJs on this station still talk over the songs, but to great effect.
	9:56pm LovecraftDude888: I just spotted it on Yahoo...I was like, another illusion shattered.
	9:56pm Eddy in Australia: Slight emphasis on the first syllable, don't over-enunciate the second. It's almost closer to 'bn' than 'bourrrne' if you know what I mean. @Holly: Pretty sure the band name and the freeway are one word but the band splits it on their single cover.
	9:57pm P-90: heart sinking, hope dying Well, if Pseu confirms...damn.
	9:57pm Loretta: @RRN63 ~ a great 'whoish' track for sure.
	9:58pm Danne D: Not to be confused with Randy from Why Oh Why
	9:59pm P-90: @ Love C: at first I thought the article on Yahoo was reporting that Neil Sedaka was with them, trying to work out a reconcilliation. I love that image though
	10:00pm Mike East: I was relieved that Randy did not make an appearance on why oh why tonight.
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Wh♂~Creation~Action~Eyes-ish ...which is to say - Wh♂-ish...
	10:01pm LovecraftDude888: ha..Sedaka is NOT there. Ah well. It often happens, I know from experience....someone gets really sick and it often breaks up marriages or it puts massive strain on them.
	10:01pm P-90: ..."Sedaka is there." Heh. I'm so bummed now, like not joking, fer real
	10:02pm P-90: I can see him consoling Toni at the Bel Air house...
	10:02pm Mike East: I'm not of FB, but I still like the evan funk davies show.
	10:04pm efd: That's fine too.
	10:05pm Holly in NC: Belated Hi Danne! @efd - What Mike East said ;-)
	10:12pm Danne D: :)
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - kinda one & a half dropouts there...
	10:15pm P-90: @lLovecraft: and you are on the money about a serious illness often wrecking an otherwise solid relationship
	10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course - in 60sPunk stylee bands - they're presumably all dropouts har har...
	10:20pm P-90: @ Mike East: I missed why oh why but peeked at the playlist, saw no Randy, and felt relieved even though I wasn't listening to the damn show!
	10:21pm P-90: Hurrah! near Columbus Circle
	10:22pm Stevel: All hail, the affirmative!!
	10:28pm P-90: Chips? Crackers? Rice cakes?
	10:29pm Holly in NC: Feeling need to hear Rain Parade right about now, efd...
	10:30pm P-90: Pretzels? Pork rinds?
	10:31pm Mike East: @P90 - are you near Columbus Circle?
	10:31pm Santos L Halper: Right on Holly!
	10:32pm P-90: not at the moment... am I the only one that hears chewing on an open mike?
	10:33pm Mike East: hummus and garlic bagel chips.
	10:34pm P-90: Mike E: that's it!
	10:34pm Stevel: Ohhhh, Rain Parade. Holly makes a compelling point.
	10:34pm efd: @P-90 I certainly hope so!
	10:34pm Mike East: and gum...those chips were really garlicky.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is something chewing Mike open - ?? What's going on in that storm down there urbanites ?!?...
	10:37pm Mike East: you don't wanna know, man.
	10:38pm P-90: @Mike Haha sounds are gone now
	10:39pm Callieflower: Good evening, everyone!
	10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jowe Head is activating some of my Julian Cope brain circuits...
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: And Cale and Cave...
	10:42pm P-90: @Rab: must be cool having JC circiuts
	10:43pm John Juan de San Antonio: "The demi-monde" I read that as Demi More
	10:43pm efd: funny, I brought a Teardrop Explodes LP with me tonight too but didn't think of it just then.
	10:43pm Mike East: went looking for ranaldo's last album at the record store last week, but didn't find it.
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's - complicated - P-90...
	10:43pm Uncle Michael: Blackhawks and Redwings going to overtime.
	10:43pm P-90: Stipish
	10:44pm LovecraftDude888: sorry was tied up on der phone...whatever that is. gotta go beddy bys soon...tired sorry folks...back on tomorrow for sure at some point. prob a.m. earlier...
	10:44pm Danne D: go Blackhawks! (out of conference)
	10:45pm LovecraftDude888: will play some Capt. and Tenille tomorrow in mourning.... night all
	10:45pm P-90: May Yog-Sathoth himself comfort you in your dreams. niteski!
	10:46pm efd: thanks for dropping by LD888!
	10:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - flipside LD888.
	10:51pm P-90: "Twisted Sour" - good name for a new soda
	10:54pm AL: So tell me...is there a Mrs. Payday?
	10:57pm Holly in NC: Hi Calllieflower! And Loretta! I was feeding cats in other room while efd played the Weather Prophets, bummer. 'Almost Prayed' and "Worm in my Brain' are all time favorite songs, so sad I missed AP. I think during the ticket giveaway I will play my own copy of AP very loudly, & dance . That Black Hollies - I ended up clicky starring six different songs - now I own the album ;-)
	10:59pm nanantatee: Hi Holly, yes Almost Prayed is a transcendent piece of pop magic!
	11:04pm EL: I love this!
	11:05pm Danne D: :) I think that's what I said last time I hear this too :)
	11:13pm steve: techno!!
	11:16pm efd: @steve pretty sure you'll like the song coming up after this too.
	11:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm hypmotized.
	11:22pm Uncle Michael: At the count of three...I'm going to turn into a chicken...a sleeping chicken. Thanks for the show, efd. I'm going to take the rest of my answer on the air.
	11:24pm efd: sweet dreams and bawk bawk, Uncle Michael!
	11:31pm Holly in NC: new Dengue Fever?
	11:31pm efd: indeed!
	11:31pm nanantatee: if you haven't yet checked it out, julian cope's head heritage site is quite engrossing
	11:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.headheritage.co.uk
	11:35pm efd: oh yeah, you could spend a good couple of months nosing around that site easily!
	11:41pm P-90: Oh wow. Thanks for the link, RR
	11:41pm EL: Nice ending.
	11:43pm Holly in NC: I don't understand why Gap Dream still seems to be under most folks' radar. Is it just because many people still dismiss Burger? Warning - Head Heritage is a time sink, esp. the Book of Seth ;-)
	11:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cope's site has meant a lot to me @ certain times - distinct pleasure were I to help direct anyone there.
	11:46pm Droll: [presently penning Roller Skates tune]
	11:50pm Holly in NC: Re Head Heritage - I mean that in a GOOD way!
	11:51pm nanantatee: @RR, yes, it's a font of information and insight. Julian Cope is some sort of all-encompassing being who has managed to not only do and experience everything but also found the time to tell everyone else what he knows and thinks.
	11:51pm efd: @Holly, fwiw Shine Your Light is at around #14 on CMJ's charts. People are starting to catch on!
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - no doubt Holly.
	11:54pm Danne D: gb the Fleshtones :)
	11:54pm Holly in NC: @efd - Got the excellent Stray anthology after you played last week. This song you're playing is esp. wonderful for those of us who, like C. Walken, are always after MORE COWBELL
	11:56pm earrie: yeah! rocketh. or rockethetta .
	11:56pm 12539: Thanks, Mr Funk.
	11:56pm efd: Good move Holly! Thanks for listening everyone!
	11:57pm Danne D: Thanks for a great show Evan :) Have a good night Holly :) Take care everyone :)
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx for bringing it efd.
	11:58pm Mike East: Good night, evan. Great show!
	11:59pm EL: Fun tonight as always!
	11:59pm Mike East: just found out the studio clients are making me stay an extra hour :(
	12:00am P-90: Cope site is amazeballs! Thanks again RR! efd: this was a "win". Thanks!
	9:51pm marmalade kitty: dig that winter bear track!

	9:18pm CuddleUp: @Puf: Aint it the truth!
	9:18pm LovecraftDude888: I haven't heard Comsat in ages and ages.I think I dug them once upon a time
	9:19pm LovecraftDude888: Also..could use hearing some Cactus World News!
	9:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...AngelS plural...ha! - Toad was from SantaBarbara where I lived long (if not large)...
	9:19pm Danne D: Hi EL :)
	9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - is Dave Hill singing - ??
	9:20pm Eddy in Australia: Hi EFD and everyone. @RRN63: The single "Independence Day" was a classic, first album was pretty good. I lost track after that.
	9:21pm Loretta: Hi all!!!! yes, it's also very nippy down here in south FL.... even my kitty is a bit chilly..
	9:21pm Holly in NC: @RRN63 - Like their 'hit' Independence Day
	9:21pm efd: Greetings commenters, listeners and lurkers! Thanks so much for tuning in tonight!
	9:21pm efd: @RRN63 yes, that was indeed Dave Hill singing, and also playing guitar
	9:22pm Holly in NC: @Eddy in Australia - once again, great minds ;-)
	9:22pm Danne D: Hi Holly :)
	9:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & pray tell - what is nippy for a Floridian? : ) ...
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: Loretta...ha ha cute kat We had a cute tabby Mercedes but she passed on in 2006 or so...she was always up for a human cat wrestling match! and usually won.
	9:24pm CuddleUp: Mercedes: good cat name
	9:25pm LovecraftDude888: never heard of Straight Lines I don't think....wow these guys are obscure. Just play some Pablo Cruise haha ..not /yep Mercedes she was as cute as it gets,,very quiet she would only meow once a year
	9:25pm LovecraftDude888: yet bite me at every opportunity!
	9:26pm CuddleUp: Love this version
	9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - DaveHill plays guitar on his show - lotsa three-finger trills & hammer-ons - comically over-the-top - but also kinda - shred.
	9:27pm P-90: @Rabbit: Do you play?!!
	9:27pm Loretta: @RRN63 ~ going to hit the freezing mark tonight! pets & plants need to come in. I paid my dues living in Westchester Co. for about '?' years.. froze my butt off!
	9:27pm Eddy in Australia: @Holly: Yikes! And would you believe I'd been listening to "Back to Nature" recently, too? (It's on the Death in Vegas edition of the Back to Mine series.)
	9:28pm cee dubbles: oh man I so thought Hush would intro your theme song!
	9:28pm Stevel: So, Billy Joe Royal's "Hush" would explain why Deep Purple never had another song that sounded like that, eh?
	9:29pm LovecraftDude888: you could play Nu Musik Straight Lines...as a bookend bit
	9:30pm Holly in NC: Nippy for a North Carolinian sans central heating = 20F outside, currently low 40sF in house. Layers. 2 comforters. 3 cats keep me warm, + vice versa. Space heaters used solely & intermittently for pipes in kitchen & bathroom. Actually not horrible except pissed off about olive oil solidified in pantry, I need to bring said oil to bed with cats & me. Strange bedfellows, indeed ;-)
	9:31pm Stevel: Holly: No judgement offered on bedding down with olive oil. Really.
	9:31pm LovecraftDude888: It's saying 12 F. NYC right now....wow that's a bit kinky, HollyNC. it was like The Shining yet again last night....that's storm Shining #2 already here I even screened The Shining the week I moved and got new big TV.....but before Storm #1
	9:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - w/ windchill expected 15belowF here tonight. Keep our oranges safe there! P90: Anyone don't play guitar - ?!? Why no heating Holly ??
	9:32pm P-90: There's that scratchin" sound!
	9:33pm LovecraftDude888: oops getting dropouts in the streaming
	9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if they're adult cats & consent to olive oil - yerknow... - yeah one dropout.
	9:34pm P-90: @LoveC: thanks, I thought that was my brain
	9:35pm darue: was just listing to the Bongos today. Great band, thanks for the clue about the "new" album.
	9:35pm P-90: Yo, Kenzo or Whoever: It's "oscilllating" on/off agin, FYI
	9:35pm Loretta: is anyone else's sound going on & off?
	9:36pm LovecraftDude888: nah I'm getting dropout action...but board is ok. Word..I just read Captain and Tenille are splitting up...yep, the End Times have finally come
	9:36pm Danne D: I grew up near Cherry Hill Park :)
	9:36pm Holly in NC: Olive oil staying IN the bottle, guys! @RRN63 - furnace kicked bucket several years ago (right after my housemate & I purchased house from my landlord at height of sub prime mortgage nonsense, don't ask) and well, due to vagaries of life we still are nowhere near able to replace.
	9:36pm Uncle Michael: Cherry Hill Park is FILTH! That trollop!
	9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - huh - I had one dropout w/ iTunes.
	9:36pm LovecraftDude888: see, the Russian Olympic terrorists are having at us already here!
	9:36pm Mike East: restart the stream and it should be fine. sorry I'm late everybody! Evening all!
	9:36pm darue: no net problems here in oregon, probably local network congestion.
	9:36pm Danne D: just re-connect Loretta :)
	9:37pm Loretta: thanks all!
	9:37pm Uncle Michael: stream is fine here
	9:37pm 12539: (Stream is fine for me)
	9:37pm LovecraftDude888: i did now it's keen
	9:37pm steve: restarting the stream worked for me
	9:38pm P-90: @LoveC: Please tell me you were being flip and facetious when you posted about Darryl & Toni! Bite your tongue!
	9:38pm ScottC: streaming loud and clear here in Alameda CA
	9:39pm Holly in NC: Stream a-ok here
	9:40pm P-90: Pop Up poppin' fresh now after restart
	9:40pm LovecraftDude888: nope I swear to God I just read this on Yahoo header story on home page. Oof. I was just catching up with them on Toni's site maybe a year ago or less. I have a soft spot for them from childhood....and the fact that she supp. sings on The Wall but might've been erased later
	9:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Harsh Holly! It's no time to go heatless...
	9:41pm P-90: Is no bond sacred?
	9:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love Will Tear Us Apart
	9:42pm EL: All right. East Link.
	9:42pm Mike East: I love the line "starting with the 70's as we pretty much always do on the Evan Funk Davies show..." just like I love Rex's shpeal (saturday afternoon tradition, 2 hour excursion...to nowhere, etc) Always puts a smile on my face.
	9:42pm P-90: Why oh why
	9:43pm LovecraftDude888: Man that is harsh. Plus Darryl's got parkinson's or whatever it is. Awful. "Sedaka is there" etc. not no mo'
	9:44pm earrie: It'd be fun if there were an 'everybody switch' switch to the stream. A little splash o'random to the addressing, say. And by fun, I mean, y'know, not fun-fun.
	9:44pm P-90: Sedaka is there?
	9:45pm jmd: Ha! Before looking I thought the lyric was "I'm on angel dust, you're on angel dust.' Yipes!
	9:45pm LovecraftDude888: isn't that the ad lib at end of Love Will K Us Together? She throws that in...."Sedaka is there" he wrote it or whatever
	9:45pm Uncle Michael: "Sedaka is back" not an adlib.
	9:46pm Mike East: I always heard it as Sedaka is back
	9:46pm P-90: Oh, I thought Neil was negotiating a truce or something.
	9:46pm LovecraftDude888: Neil cowrote it with some other guy...right UM that's correct "Sedaka iS BacK" I heard it as a kid as "Sedaka Is There" which makes no sense
	9:47pm LovecraftDude888: which was a plug for his "comeback" LP and all that
	9:48pm 12539: This is okay, but it's no Starbreaker.
	9:49pm Holly in NC: @@RRN63, seriously, it's OK - look at my avatar - I took that pic last year, and it's what I'm wearing right now except I don't yet need the hoodie. PLUS I have an extra WFMU hoodie this year for when it gets super frigid next week! I LOVE eastlink. Captain & Tennile have a special place in my heart, even though I was forbidden to listen to their big hit. Their version of Muskrat Love sucks, but led me to Willis Alan Ramsey, so all good.
	9:49pm Uncle Michael: I think there's one Sedaka song I like.
	9:49pm P-90: @LoveC: I remember that comeback, went pretty well. Saw him on the Dinah Shore Show etc, lookin' and soundin' real good, w/some solid new beats
	9:49pm efd: haha! Fair enough, 12539.
	9:50pm Mike East: I can't find my fmu hoodie. did one of yous guys steal it?
	9:50pm LovecraftDude888: as a kid I didn't know Sedaka from Sanka
	9:51pm LovecraftDude888: ha...my fave is Iggy and Bowie on Dinah..that was a real goof
	9:51pm jmd: @Mike East: I've got this one and this one. Is it this one?
	9:51pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD: I forgot to compliment you on your excellent pronunciation of 'Melbourne' the last time you played Eastlink! BTW: I think you might also like another local band, Ausmuteants: dodgy name, great EP, haven't heard their album yet.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Iggy: 'I think I helped end the 60s!'...
	9:52pm efd: @Mike East I'm wearing mine right now!
	9:52pm Loretta: @LCD888 ~ that sounds like a must see ;)
	9:52pm LovecraftDude888: oh no the Circle Jerks covered LWKUsTog.!! so scary
	9:52pm Mike East: It might me, jmd. is it a large? I love that hoodie.
	9:53pm Mike East: be not me
	9:53pm LovecraftDude888: I'm wearing my Ramones hoodie that cost too much i got about 3 yrs. ago at Utopia....a scary shop that should be closed but still going somehow. yeah the Dinah iggy and bowie bit is a must see
	9:53pm efd: @Eddy, wait, how did I pronounce it? Now I'm going to be worried I'll pronounce it differently/incorrectly!
	9:53pm P-90: I honestly don't remember the "Neal is ..." at the end of the song, in those days, DJ's were probably talking over the end themselves every time I heard it, barbaric as that sounds
	9:54pm Holly in NC: @Eddy - burning question - East Link or Eastlink ? Even my most trusted Aussie fiends seem to waffle. And Ausmuteants lp is very, very good.
	9:54pm P-90: Melbin'
	9:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MikeSin on drums ! I was thinkin' what a great Wh♂-ish track it was !...
	9:55pm LovecraftDude888: that's possible too. Towards the fade-out or whatever. Sedaka is Back..heehee Toni swears she was at a Wall show 1980 and some teenage kid goes to her "oh no, IT'S YOU what are YOU doing here!??" haha!
	9:55pm jmd: Yup. Pseu Braun confirms Captain and Tennille divorce. I believe all of you, but I trust in Pseu.
	9:55pm Alex of Chicago: Certain DJs on this station still talk over the songs, but to great effect.
	9:56pm LovecraftDude888: I just spotted it on Yahoo...I was like, another illusion shattered.
	9:56pm Eddy in Australia: Slight emphasis on the first syllable, don't over-enunciate the second. It's almost closer to 'bn' than 'bourrrne' if you know what I mean. @Holly: Pretty sure the band name and the freeway are one word but the band splits it on their single cover.
	9:57pm P-90: heart sinking, hope dying Well, if Pseu confirms...damn.
	9:57pm Loretta: @RRN63 ~ a great 'whoish' track for sure.
	9:58pm Danne D: Not to be confused with Randy from Why Oh Why
	9:59pm P-90: @ Love C: at first I thought the article on Yahoo was reporting that Neil Sedaka was with them, trying to work out a reconcilliation. I love that image though
	10:00pm Mike East: I was relieved that Randy did not make an appearance on why oh why tonight.
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Wh♂~Creation~Action~Eyes-ish ...which is to say - Wh♂-ish...
	10:01pm LovecraftDude888: ha..Sedaka is NOT there. Ah well. It often happens, I know from experience....someone gets really sick and it often breaks up marriages or it puts massive strain on them.
	10:01pm P-90: ..."Sedaka is there." Heh. I'm so bummed now, like not joking, fer real
	10:02pm P-90: I can see him consoling Toni at the Bel Air house...
	10:02pm Mike East: I'm not of FB, but I still like the evan funk davies show.
	10:04pm efd: That's fine too.
	10:05pm Holly in NC: Belated Hi Danne! @efd - What Mike East said ;-)
	10:12pm Danne D: :)
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - kinda one & a half dropouts there...
	10:15pm P-90: @lLovecraft: and you are on the money about a serious illness often wrecking an otherwise solid relationship
	10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course - in 60sPunk stylee bands - they're presumably all dropouts har har...
	10:20pm P-90: @ Mike East: I missed why oh why but peeked at the playlist, saw no Randy, and felt relieved even though I wasn't listening to the damn show!
	10:21pm P-90: Hurrah! near Columbus Circle
	10:22pm Stevel: All hail, the affirmative!!
	10:28pm P-90: Chips? Crackers? Rice cakes?
	10:29pm Holly in NC: Feeling need to hear Rain Parade right about now, efd...
	10:30pm P-90: Pretzels? Pork rinds?
	10:31pm Mike East: @P90 - are you near Columbus Circle?
	10:31pm Santos L Halper: Right on Holly!
	10:32pm P-90: not at the moment... am I the only one that hears chewing on an open mike?
	10:33pm Mike East: hummus and garlic bagel chips.
	10:34pm P-90: Mike E: that's it!
	10:34pm Stevel: Ohhhh, Rain Parade. Holly makes a compelling point.
	10:34pm efd: @P-90 I certainly hope so!
	10:34pm Mike East: and gum...those chips were really garlicky.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is something chewing Mike open - ?? What's going on in that storm down there urbanites ?!?...
	10:37pm Mike East: you don't wanna know, man.
	10:38pm P-90: @Mike Haha sounds are gone now
	10:39pm Callieflower: Good evening, everyone!
	10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jowe Head is activating some of my Julian Cope brain circuits...
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: And Cale and Cave...
	10:42pm P-90: @Rab: must be cool having JC circiuts
	10:43pm John Juan de San Antonio: "The demi-monde" I read that as Demi More
	10:43pm efd: funny, I brought a Teardrop Explodes LP with me tonight too but didn't think of it just then.
	10:43pm Mike East: went looking for ranaldo's last album at the record store last week, but didn't find it.
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's - complicated - P-90...
	10:43pm Uncle Michael: Blackhawks and Redwings going to overtime.
	10:43pm P-90: Stipish
	10:44pm LovecraftDude888: sorry was tied up on der phone...whatever that is. gotta go beddy bys soon...tired sorry folks...back on tomorrow for sure at some point. prob a.m. earlier...
	10:44pm Danne D: go Blackhawks! (out of conference)
	10:45pm LovecraftDude888: will play some Capt. and Tenille tomorrow in mourning.... night all
	10:45pm P-90: May Yog-Sathoth himself comfort you in your dreams. niteski!
	10:46pm efd: thanks for dropping by LD888!
	10:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - flipside LD888.
	10:51pm P-90: "Twisted Sour" - good name for a new soda
	10:54pm AL: So tell me...is there a Mrs. Payday?
	10:57pm Holly in NC: Hi Calllieflower! And Loretta! I was feeding cats in other room while efd played the Weather Prophets, bummer. 'Almost Prayed' and "Worm in my Brain' are all time favorite songs, so sad I missed AP. I think during the ticket giveaway I will play my own copy of AP very loudly, & dance . That Black Hollies - I ended up clicky starring six different songs - now I own the album ;-)
	10:59pm nanantatee: Hi Holly, yes Almost Prayed is a transcendent piece of pop magic!
	11:04pm EL: I love this!
	11:05pm Danne D: :) I think that's what I said last time I hear this too :)
	11:13pm steve: techno!!
	11:16pm efd: @steve pretty sure you'll like the song coming up after this too.
	11:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm hypmotized.
	11:22pm Uncle Michael: At the count of three...I'm going to turn into a chicken...a sleeping chicken. Thanks for the show, efd. I'm going to take the rest of my answer on the air.
	11:24pm efd: sweet dreams and bawk bawk, Uncle Michael!
	11:31pm Holly in NC: new Dengue Fever?
	11:31pm efd: indeed!
	11:31pm nanantatee: if you haven't yet checked it out, julian cope's head heritage site is quite engrossing
	11:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.headheritage.co.uk
	11:35pm efd: oh yeah, you could spend a good couple of months nosing around that site easily!
	11:41pm P-90: Oh wow. Thanks for the link, RR
	11:41pm EL: Nice ending.
	11:43pm Holly in NC: I don't understand why Gap Dream still seems to be under most folks' radar. Is it just because many people still dismiss Burger? Warning - Head Heritage is a time sink, esp. the Book of Seth ;-)
	11:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cope's site has meant a lot to me @ certain times - distinct pleasure were I to help direct anyone there.
	11:46pm Droll: [presently penning Roller Skates tune]
	11:50pm Holly in NC: Re Head Heritage - I mean that in a GOOD way!
	11:51pm nanantatee: @RR, yes, it's a font of information and insight. Julian Cope is some sort of all-encompassing being who has managed to not only do and experience everything but also found the time to tell everyone else what he knows and thinks.
	11:51pm efd: @Holly, fwiw Shine Your Light is at around #14 on CMJ's charts. People are starting to catch on!
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - no doubt Holly.
	11:54pm Danne D: gb the Fleshtones :)
	11:54pm Holly in NC: @efd - Got the excellent Stray anthology after you played last week. This song you're playing is esp. wonderful for those of us who, like C. Walken, are always after MORE COWBELL
	11:56pm earrie: yeah! rocketh. or rockethetta .
	11:56pm 12539: Thanks, Mr Funk.
	11:56pm efd: Good move Holly! Thanks for listening everyone!
	11:57pm Danne D: Thanks for a great show Evan :) Have a good night Holly :) Take care everyone :)
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx for bringing it efd.
	11:58pm Mike East: Good night, evan. Great show!
	11:59pm EL: Fun tonight as always!
	11:59pm Mike East: just found out the studio clients are making me stay an extra hour :(
	12:00am P-90: Cope site is amazeballs! Thanks again RR! efd: this was a "win". Thanks!
	9:51pm marmalade kitty: dig that winter bear track!
