	9:10pm Holly in NC: Drat, thwarted. Hello efd and all friends, glad you're here even if you don't have a cat avatar.
	9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it seemed like a long time before I heard any Dolls on FUM - ! (?); somebody gave me an electric guitar (!) - & I find I revert to playing Dolls riffs a certain %age of the time - they are basic & instinctual like that...
	9:10pm Loretta: good info EFD ~ I remember him 4 sure.
	9:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...FMU fergawdsake...
	9:12pm Whooda: REVrabbit was just thinking how comfortable that NYD track was to hear just now.
	9:15pm Cal Zone!: I met Marty Thau once when he visited the label I worked at. He was very nice and showed me some outtake b&w glossies from the Blondie Plastic Letters photo session. Very cool guy...his career spanned 60's bubblegum through punk...many people forget the historical connection between those two genres!
	9:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - just saying Dolls were important & great, mahhn.
	9:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Ramones never forgot it Cal Z !
	9:17pm Loretta: @RRN62 ~ I totally agree, mahhn!
	9:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: There's a big soft spot in my heart for the Ramones. Tell my doctor not to worry and not to try to treat it.
	9:19pm jon: love this show! efd is what the station is about. love 2 listen wed and thus nites
	9:19pm LovecraftDude888: watched Charlie Wilson's War, thus distracted 95 min. it was ok. PSH great as always...a total obnoxious CIA guy..what a concept. I just missed some great music. damn.
	9:20pm Holly in NC: Looking forward to Real Kids :-)
	9:21pm Cal Zone!: The one remaining living breathing dinosaur connection to this early punk era...The Fleshtones! They still make it happen...110%
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: although i'm still sad about Gordon Spaeth myself .....but still love the 'Tones
	9:23pm Holly in NC: Whoops, I see I missed Real Kids. OK, that's what archives are for!
	9:23pm Lonely Planet Boy: great Marty Thau tribute.
	9:23pm WO Town Wick: efd...thanks for bringing it to our ears! Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on your premium
	9:25pm Whooda: Thanks for the link in history DJ EFD, I never made the connection between bubble gum and punk until now.
	9:26pm LovecraftDude888: mysteryyy...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
	9:28pm Loretta: great set Evan.......... really takes me back! thanks
	9:28pm Mailman Tom: Glorious rock 'n' roll every Wednesday nite, thanks to EFD and WFMU !
	9:28pm Danne D: :)
	9:29pm Danne D: Btw, hey P-90 :) Callie :) Richard :) Holly :) Everyone :) and of course EFD :D
	9:30pm John: I'm sensing a theme here (hear).
	9:32pm Holly in NC: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	9:36pm Danne D: Now it's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime for the Funk! :)
	9:37pm mike east: Wish I could see efd's comments on the app. Guess I'll have to pay extra close attention on the back announce
	9:38pm daniel: Hey Evan, Listening Live for a change! daniel
	9:49pm Danne D: A cheerful enough song about death :) It would make XTC proud even :)
	9:54pm efd: Thanks for listening everyone, and thanks for commenting commenteers! Glad you're enjoying the show so far- been a little frantic so far but hopefully I can be a little more active here as the show goes on.
	9:56pm Danne D: @efd you realize that' like Michaelangelo apologizing to folks watching him paint for not stopping for a glass of wine with them, right? :)
	9:58pm efd: that dude always did seem a little full of himself.
	10:03pm Callieflower: Frantic is alright. As long as all of you are here :)
	10:03pm Uncle Michael: Greetings, Commenteers....and efd!
	10:04pm P-90: Is it supposed to be obvious that the music in this song is copped from Mason Williams' "Classical Gas"?
	10:06pm P-90: Yo, @Pufnstuf Dude! Greetings back! Hey gang, Pufnstuf Dude is here!
	10:08pm glenn: that never fails to crack me up.
	10:09pm glenn: mason williams wasn't really a musician. he was a writer for the smothers brothers.
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: he didn't really have gas, either
	10:11pm Danne D: Signed up for my shifts a couple weeks ago. When the DJ tag-teams appeared earlier this week I found out that Evan will be there for 5 of my shifts. Please commiserate with Evan about this fact by pledging heavily to both of his shows this marathon.
	10:11pm LovecraftDude888: I wonder if I should morph to Kool Aid Dude
	10:13pm glenn: i'm polar bear cub dude.
	10:13pm efd: Oh how did I get so lucky, Danne D?!
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - didn't Mason Williams really play that though - ? (fwiw)
	10:15pm glenn: yes, he did, with much help from the wrecking crew.
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: nobody volunteered for my shows
	10:16pm P-90: How does being a writer for the Smothers Brothers render one incapable of being a instrumentalist/composer? Why, the Smos Bros themselves were writers for the Smothers Brothers, and pretty excellent musicians themselves. Also, I can attest from personal experience that Tommy Smothers was all too capable of having (and sharing) some seriously real gas (long story, don't ask) Mason's Class. Gas was an instant classic, and it's still a gas
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: The deli tray is just going to sit there....
	10:17pm P-90: Wait-- deli tray?
	10:18pm John: Holy shit...unmasked baby! Thanks Evan.
	10:18pm efd: wow, you guys really live it up on the Drummer Stream.
	10:18pm glenn: in the sense that he didn't make a living from music, other than what i imagine were some pretty hefty royalties for classical gas.
	10:19pm LovecraftDude888: She's So Guignolian
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: I have a tray I bought the day after the Super Bowl in the freezer. It was half price!
	10:21pm LovecraftDude888: UM...ewwwwwww cold cuts growing some tentacles
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: That's just frost.
	10:21pm Cal Zone!: This Giuda LP's got legs!
	10:22pm Stevel: New Giuda track for me. Great, yet again!
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: I love fake '70s top 40 rock!
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: They need to get Mr. Moroder to collaborate with them.
	10:24pm Cal Zone!: I dont think there is anything fake about it. It's just cool and glammy.
	10:26pm MikeY: nICE kISS tUNE,
	10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Smothers Bros. spoke truth to power. No - really !
	10:29pm MikeY: WILL THEY BE IN THE DOWNSTAIRS STUDIO
	10:30pm Danne D: excited about helping during Yo La Tengo - I think this'll be the first time since the Upsala Finale
	10:32pm Danne D: No Small Change Tonight Evan: This week only: Options The Push Bin with Lou Special: Lou Z. fills in for Small Change
	10:32pm P-90: @"fake '70s top 40'? It's released 1980, It's labelled Casablancas, and it's Kiss! And: It's KISS! So: Not-fake '70s top 40; do you mean it was/is fake rock despite being essentially '70s top 40 in its essence? Because Kiss wasn't/isn't quite legit rock? Essentially?
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HomePage says Push Bin w/ Lou fills in for SmallChange tonight.
	10:33pm Danne D: Handy cohost schedule: www.wfmu.org...
	10:34pm Cal Zone!: P-90...I thought you were calling Giuda 'fake 70's top-40'. Mea culpa as they say in Italy.
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: I was. I meant "fake" in the nicest possible way.
	10:37pm P-90: @referencing P-stuf 10:22 & subsequent follow-on comments cascade
	10:39pm Tome: hey EFD he folks ,, Shoes ! yea ,, !
	10:40pm P-90: @efd: geshundheit
	10:41pm Michael K.: I always forget how good bands like like The Shoes were, then you remind me , damn you EFD !
	10:43pm LovecraftDude888: hang on, is this The Shoes She Satisfies Shoes? what album is that?
	10:44pm Michael from the Left Coast: Wow--the Beatles on WFMU?!
	10:45pm Michael from the Left Coast: And actually the track from Live at BBC 2 is Anna--wow that one sounds great
	10:46pm efd: there's actually 12 pages of results when you do a playlist search on The Beatles, Michael! :)
	10:46pm LovecraftDude888: nevermind I figured it out some reissued rare Shoes early LP or whatever the hell it is. putting it on list of the 20 other Shoes albums I'm missing. I have the new album that's worth listening to. And the Best Of thing is great.
	10:46pm efd: (but none from my show until now)
	10:46pm Michael K.: Childish? yeah !
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - 50 years later - Beatles still pulling out stuff I ain't heard & exciting.
	10:48pm LovecraftDude888: time for the Shoe You Latuh
	10:49pm r i s k y: PERCOLATE!!!! OWWWWWW!!!
	10:49pm Danne D: Hanson comes before the Beatles in the EFD Show Chronology :)
	10:49pm JakeGould: I logged in to just say, “Percolater” is great!
	10:50pm Alex of Chicago: It's time...
	10:50pm laura spike: It's time for the nukular perculator.
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ed Sullivan promised a rilly big Shoe...yeah sorry - gonna listen in bed now & leave you alone. You rule EFD !
	10:50pm Danne D: Oddly it sounds more like it's time for the dot matrix printer in some of this :)
	10:51pm LovecraftDude888: bed...bed what's bed?
	10:51pm LovecraftDude888: got me runnin in a percolator (remember that terrible song? runnin in a cyclonee_
	10:52pm Rickwaukee: Time? Anybody?
	10:52pm LovecraftDude888: Dub Pistols. urgh.
	10:55pm LovecraftDude888: The Remainderer....that's whoever's been liquidating Borders Books....what's left of it
	11:00pm Danne D: not to be confused with 3's song "Talkin' Bout"
	11:00pm Danne D: (and now you know where the prog vein runs deepest with me) Martin Briley's "Salt in my Tears" :) A fave :)
	11:03pm LovecraftDude888: The Shoes got dicked bad with record deals and companies and Elektra and never had an easy time of it, that is abundantly clear. First few things were private releases including One In... whewwww the record biz. it blows!
	11:03pm Danne D: Last time we heard that sounder btw! Unless they repledge and keep the name :)
	11:06pm jillydg: So I missed out on the Percolator back in the day and when I asked the coffee guy at Fairway to grind some beans for a percolator just a last week, he busted into song and dance. I thought it was just a coffee beaner's thing. So he schooled me and now EFD proves it's for real!
	11:06pm Droll: DD, Only you could confuse anything with a song by the 3. Well, I might, but I'd never admit it.
	11:10pm Danne D: @Droll btw if you were wondering about an act that has NOT been played on WFMU according to the accuplaylist there you go (there's a 3 - it's not the same one). Might be one of about 3 albums I own that WFMU certainly not has a copy of. One is University of Illinois 25th anniversary of experimental music LP set that I got in college (and that is almost 25 years old itself and that I probably should get the turntable working just to hear now lo these many years later when I'd have much more interest in it). The other is Wetton/Manzanera
	11:12pm Danne D: Holy Crap here it is: www.discogs.com... It's also now officially almost certainly the most valuable recording I own
	11:15pm Danne D: ems.music.illinois.edu...
	11:15pm Rickwaukee: GOD, I LOVE NINA
	11:15pm LovecraftDude888: Danne..and I thought Xenakis or Morton Subotnick were obscure...jeez. dats an obscure LP
	11:21pm Danne D: Yeah - I am almost embarrassed to be the owner of it (that is embarrassed for the album to have me as the owner)
	11:26pm Droll: DD, Don't conflate scarcity with greatness -- WFMU is systematically prejudiced against prog, as we've discussed before. Many "vanity press" LPs are unlistenably boring, only one of mine rises to "Why isn't this a legend?" (Arena of Shame by Carey's Problem, which I shared with Irwin, who did one of their songs for H&M, but most the album would not pass FCC muster)
	11:28pm Michael from the Left Coast: So glad I saw Devo so many times--does Bob Casale's death mean the end of Devo as a live act?
	11:28pm V Priceless: Long Live Bob 2!!
	11:30pm Rickwaukee: We Gonna... Clooock Ouut!
	11:32pm Danne D: @Droll 3 of the 9 artists on the album have been played on FMU (none from this CD). Not really a vanity pressing in the strictest sense - really a celebration of something the U of I pioneer in its music study. (Not a prog album btw - just something incredibly rare) Hell I was given it after I participated in a Krannert Seminar or something. Fun how Evan can play a song and it leads me on this totally different path :)
	11:32pm bennett4senate: SOCIAL MEDIA AIRHORN - LOVE THIS!! !!!
	11:33pm Alex of Chicago: Last song in that Pampers set was heavy.
	11:34pm LovecraftDude888: Danne...isn't that more experimental/mod classical electronic type stuff? musique concrete etc.? methinks
	11:35pm Danne D: @LovecraftDude888 correct
	11:35pm Danne D: :( I did not win Powerball :(
	11:36pm LovecraftDude888: Danne..i figured as much. Well, the Pauline Oliveros box set is now going for $500 on AMazon. that's nice.
	11:37pm LovecraftDude888: powerball might've helped
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: Great show tonight, efd...gotta go...night all!
	11:37pm Andrew Waterloo: ..but that's Amazon.
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: Pufnstuf Dude...out.
	11:38pm Holly in NC: I so dearly love Dead Moon.
	11:39pm Andrew Waterloo: Man.. I need to make a gif of pufnstuff on CHiPs
	11:39pm LovecraftDude888: Andrew...yeah. would love to own it..given i had no idea it was out previously! too much stuff to collect and hear.
	11:39pm LovecraftDude888: night UM!
	11:42pm LovecraftDude888: I think I'm turning in as well.....great show as always EFD! need my hideous sleep......
	11:46pm efd: I hear you LovecraftDude! Thanks for listening, and thanks to you too Uncle Michael!
	11:47pm Danne D: I have to jet :) Thanks for a great show EFD :) Have a good night everyone! See you at the station soon, Evan :)
	11:51pm efd: see you next week, Danne! and the week after that too.
	11:51pm Eddy in Australia: Great show as usual, Evan. I missed the Marty Thau tribute but will definitely listen to the archive later.
	11:51pm nanantatee: Great show, EFD, thanks man.
	11:53pm efd: Thanks for listening, everybody! Looking forward to hearing from you during the marathon. :D
	11:55pm Whooda: Good criss-crossing eyed radio DJ DFD. Thanks Marathon?...uh, I think I have to clean the ashtrays that day....
	11:58pm nanantatee: SPARKS RULE!
	11:59pm P-90: Thanks @efd, you're one of the real champs See you next week in the Marathon Zone
	12:00am P-90: Sparks sure as shit do Rule!

Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)
It’s the 18th year of the Evan “Funk” Davies Show Holiday Music Funktacular, and this year — for the first time ever — it will air on actual Christmas Day! Tune in for three hours of Christmas music that you won’t already be sick of hearing: old and new seasonal rock, punk, dance, glam, and power pop favorites. Even your family might enjoy it!

February 19, 2014: RIP Marty Thau

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

Marty Thau had a long and influential career in the music business, most notably as the manager of the New York Dolls and the founder of the Red Star record label. He passed away on February 13 at the age of 75. Joe Bonomo, author of Sweat: The Story Of The Fleshtones, America's Garage Band has an excellent remembrance posted on his site; Andy Schwartz, longtime New York Rocker editor, also shared his thoughts. You can also read Roy Trakin's obit for Billboard. From bubblegum to punk and beyond, Marty Thau made a huge impact. I hope the opening set of this show helps to convey that in some way.

	9:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Ramones never forgot it Cal Z !
	9:17pm Loretta: @RRN62 ~ I totally agree, mahhn!
	9:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: There's a big soft spot in my heart for the Ramones. Tell my doctor not to worry and not to try to treat it.
	9:19pm jon: love this show! efd is what the station is about. love 2 listen wed and thus nites
	9:19pm LovecraftDude888: watched Charlie Wilson's War, thus distracted 95 min. it was ok. PSH great as always...a total obnoxious CIA guy..what a concept. I just missed some great music. damn.
	9:20pm Holly in NC: Looking forward to Real Kids :-)
	9:21pm Cal Zone!: The one remaining living breathing dinosaur connection to this early punk era...The Fleshtones! They still make it happen...110%
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: although i'm still sad about Gordon Spaeth myself .....but still love the 'Tones
	9:23pm Holly in NC: Whoops, I see I missed Real Kids. OK, that's what archives are for!
	9:23pm Lonely Planet Boy: great Marty Thau tribute.
	9:23pm WO Town Wick: efd...thanks for bringing it to our ears! Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on your premium
	9:25pm Whooda: Thanks for the link in history DJ EFD, I never made the connection between bubble gum and punk until now.
	9:26pm LovecraftDude888: mysteryyy...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
	9:28pm Loretta: great set Evan.......... really takes me back! thanks
	9:28pm Mailman Tom: Glorious rock 'n' roll every Wednesday nite, thanks to EFD and WFMU !
	9:28pm Danne D: :)
	9:29pm Danne D: Btw, hey P-90 :) Callie :) Richard :) Holly :) Everyone :) and of course EFD :D
	9:30pm John: I'm sensing a theme here (hear).
	9:32pm Holly in NC: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	9:36pm Danne D: Now it's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime for the Funk! :)
	9:37pm mike east: Wish I could see efd's comments on the app. Guess I'll have to pay extra close attention on the back announce
	9:38pm daniel: Hey Evan, Listening Live for a change! daniel
	9:49pm Danne D: A cheerful enough song about death :) It would make XTC proud even :)
	9:54pm efd: Thanks for listening everyone, and thanks for commenting commenteers! Glad you're enjoying the show so far- been a little frantic so far but hopefully I can be a little more active here as the show goes on.
	9:56pm Danne D: @efd you realize that' like Michaelangelo apologizing to folks watching him paint for not stopping for a glass of wine with them, right? :)
	9:58pm efd: that dude always did seem a little full of himself.
	10:03pm Callieflower: Frantic is alright. As long as all of you are here :)
	10:03pm Uncle Michael: Greetings, Commenteers....and efd!
	10:04pm P-90: Is it supposed to be obvious that the music in this song is copped from Mason Williams' "Classical Gas"?
	10:06pm P-90: Yo, @Pufnstuf Dude! Greetings back! Hey gang, Pufnstuf Dude is here!
	10:08pm glenn: that never fails to crack me up.
	10:09pm glenn: mason williams wasn't really a musician. he was a writer for the smothers brothers.
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: he didn't really have gas, either
	10:11pm Danne D: Signed up for my shifts a couple weeks ago. When the DJ tag-teams appeared earlier this week I found out that Evan will be there for 5 of my shifts. Please commiserate with Evan about this fact by pledging heavily to both of his shows this marathon.
	10:11pm LovecraftDude888: I wonder if I should morph to Kool Aid Dude
	10:13pm glenn: i'm polar bear cub dude.
	10:13pm efd: Oh how did I get so lucky, Danne D?!
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - didn't Mason Williams really play that though - ? (fwiw)
	10:15pm glenn: yes, he did, with much help from the wrecking crew.
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: nobody volunteered for my shows
	10:16pm P-90: How does being a writer for the Smothers Brothers render one incapable of being a instrumentalist/composer? Why, the Smos Bros themselves were writers for the Smothers Brothers, and pretty excellent musicians themselves. Also, I can attest from personal experience that Tommy Smothers was all too capable of having (and sharing) some seriously real gas (long story, don't ask) Mason's Class. Gas was an instant classic, and it's still a gas
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: The deli tray is just going to sit there....
	10:17pm P-90: Wait-- deli tray?
	10:18pm John: Holy shit...unmasked baby! Thanks Evan.
	10:18pm efd: wow, you guys really live it up on the Drummer Stream.
	10:18pm glenn: in the sense that he didn't make a living from music, other than what i imagine were some pretty hefty royalties for classical gas.
	10:19pm LovecraftDude888: She's So Guignolian
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: I have a tray I bought the day after the Super Bowl in the freezer. It was half price!
	10:21pm LovecraftDude888: UM...ewwwwwww cold cuts growing some tentacles
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: That's just frost.
	10:21pm Cal Zone!: This Giuda LP's got legs!
	10:22pm Stevel: New Giuda track for me. Great, yet again!
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: I love fake '70s top 40 rock!
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: They need to get Mr. Moroder to collaborate with them.
	10:24pm Cal Zone!: I dont think there is anything fake about it. It's just cool and glammy.
	10:26pm MikeY: nICE kISS tUNE,
	10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Smothers Bros. spoke truth to power. No - really !
	10:29pm MikeY: WILL THEY BE IN THE DOWNSTAIRS STUDIO
	10:30pm Danne D: excited about helping during Yo La Tengo - I think this'll be the first time since the Upsala Finale
	10:32pm Danne D: No Small Change Tonight Evan: This week only: Options The Push Bin with Lou Special: Lou Z. fills in for Small Change
	10:32pm P-90: @"fake '70s top 40'? It's released 1980, It's labelled Casablancas, and it's Kiss! And: It's KISS! So: Not-fake '70s top 40; do you mean it was/is fake rock despite being essentially '70s top 40 in its essence? Because Kiss wasn't/isn't quite legit rock? Essentially?
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HomePage says Push Bin w/ Lou fills in for SmallChange tonight.
	10:33pm Danne D: Handy cohost schedule: www.wfmu.org...
	10:34pm Cal Zone!: P-90...I thought you were calling Giuda 'fake 70's top-40'. Mea culpa as they say in Italy.
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: I was. I meant "fake" in the nicest possible way.
	10:37pm P-90: @referencing P-stuf 10:22 & subsequent follow-on comments cascade
	10:39pm Tome: hey EFD he folks ,, Shoes ! yea ,, !
	10:40pm P-90: @efd: geshundheit
	10:41pm Michael K.: I always forget how good bands like like The Shoes were, then you remind me , damn you EFD !
	10:43pm LovecraftDude888: hang on, is this The Shoes She Satisfies Shoes? what album is that?
	10:44pm Michael from the Left Coast: Wow--the Beatles on WFMU?!
	10:45pm Michael from the Left Coast: And actually the track from Live at BBC 2 is Anna--wow that one sounds great
	10:46pm efd: there's actually 12 pages of results when you do a playlist search on The Beatles, Michael! :)
	10:46pm LovecraftDude888: nevermind I figured it out some reissued rare Shoes early LP or whatever the hell it is. putting it on list of the 20 other Shoes albums I'm missing. I have the new album that's worth listening to. And the Best Of thing is great.
	10:46pm efd: (but none from my show until now)
	10:46pm Michael K.: Childish? yeah !
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - 50 years later - Beatles still pulling out stuff I ain't heard & exciting.
	10:48pm LovecraftDude888: time for the Shoe You Latuh
	10:49pm r i s k y: PERCOLATE!!!! OWWWWWW!!!
	10:49pm Danne D: Hanson comes before the Beatles in the EFD Show Chronology :)
	10:49pm JakeGould: I logged in to just say, “Percolater” is great!
	10:50pm Alex of Chicago: It's time...
	10:50pm laura spike: It's time for the nukular perculator.
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ed Sullivan promised a rilly big Shoe...yeah sorry - gonna listen in bed now & leave you alone. You rule EFD !
	10:50pm Danne D: Oddly it sounds more like it's time for the dot matrix printer in some of this :)
	10:51pm LovecraftDude888: bed...bed what's bed?
	10:51pm LovecraftDude888: got me runnin in a percolator (remember that terrible song? runnin in a cyclonee_
	10:52pm Rickwaukee: Time? Anybody?
	10:52pm LovecraftDude888: Dub Pistols. urgh.
	10:55pm LovecraftDude888: The Remainderer....that's whoever's been liquidating Borders Books....what's left of it
	11:00pm Danne D: not to be confused with 3's song "Talkin' Bout"
	11:00pm Danne D: (and now you know where the prog vein runs deepest with me) Martin Briley's "Salt in my Tears" :) A fave :)
	11:03pm LovecraftDude888: The Shoes got dicked bad with record deals and companies and Elektra and never had an easy time of it, that is abundantly clear. First few things were private releases including One In... whewwww the record biz. it blows!
	11:03pm Danne D: Last time we heard that sounder btw! Unless they repledge and keep the name :)
	11:06pm jillydg: So I missed out on the Percolator back in the day and when I asked the coffee guy at Fairway to grind some beans for a percolator just a last week, he busted into song and dance. I thought it was just a coffee beaner's thing. So he schooled me and now EFD proves it's for real!
	11:06pm Droll: DD, Only you could confuse anything with a song by the 3. Well, I might, but I'd never admit it.
	11:10pm Danne D: @Droll btw if you were wondering about an act that has NOT been played on WFMU according to the accuplaylist there you go (there's a 3 - it's not the same one). Might be one of about 3 albums I own that WFMU certainly not has a copy of. One is University of Illinois 25th anniversary of experimental music LP set that I got in college (and that is almost 25 years old itself and that I probably should get the turntable working just to hear now lo these many years later when I'd have much more interest in it). The other is Wetton/Manzanera
	11:12pm Danne D: Holy Crap here it is: www.discogs.com... It's also now officially almost certainly the most valuable recording I own
	11:15pm Danne D: ems.music.illinois.edu...
	11:15pm Rickwaukee: GOD, I LOVE NINA
	11:15pm LovecraftDude888: Danne..and I thought Xenakis or Morton Subotnick were obscure...jeez. dats an obscure LP
	11:21pm Danne D: Yeah - I am almost embarrassed to be the owner of it (that is embarrassed for the album to have me as the owner)
	11:26pm Droll: DD, Don't conflate scarcity with greatness -- WFMU is systematically prejudiced against prog, as we've discussed before. Many "vanity press" LPs are unlistenably boring, only one of mine rises to "Why isn't this a legend?" (Arena of Shame by Carey's Problem, which I shared with Irwin, who did one of their songs for H&M, but most the album would not pass FCC muster)
	11:28pm Michael from the Left Coast: So glad I saw Devo so many times--does Bob Casale's death mean the end of Devo as a live act?
	11:28pm V Priceless: Long Live Bob 2!!
	11:30pm Rickwaukee: We Gonna... Clooock Ouut!
	11:32pm Danne D: @Droll 3 of the 9 artists on the album have been played on FMU (none from this CD). Not really a vanity pressing in the strictest sense - really a celebration of something the U of I pioneer in its music study. (Not a prog album btw - just something incredibly rare) Hell I was given it after I participated in a Krannert Seminar or something. Fun how Evan can play a song and it leads me on this totally different path :)
	11:32pm bennett4senate: SOCIAL MEDIA AIRHORN - LOVE THIS!! !!!
	11:33pm Alex of Chicago: Last song in that Pampers set was heavy.
	11:34pm LovecraftDude888: Danne...isn't that more experimental/mod classical electronic type stuff? musique concrete etc.? methinks
	11:35pm Danne D: @LovecraftDude888 correct
	11:35pm Danne D: :( I did not win Powerball :(
	11:36pm LovecraftDude888: Danne..i figured as much. Well, the Pauline Oliveros box set is now going for $500 on AMazon. that's nice.
	11:37pm LovecraftDude888: powerball might've helped
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: Great show tonight, efd...gotta go...night all!
	11:37pm Andrew Waterloo: ..but that's Amazon.
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: Pufnstuf Dude...out.
	11:38pm Holly in NC: I so dearly love Dead Moon.
	11:39pm Andrew Waterloo: Man.. I need to make a gif of pufnstuff on CHiPs
	11:39pm LovecraftDude888: Andrew...yeah. would love to own it..given i had no idea it was out previously! too much stuff to collect and hear.
	11:39pm LovecraftDude888: night UM!
	11:42pm LovecraftDude888: I think I'm turning in as well.....great show as always EFD! need my hideous sleep......
	11:46pm efd: I hear you LovecraftDude! Thanks for listening, and thanks to you too Uncle Michael!
	11:47pm Danne D: I have to jet :) Thanks for a great show EFD :) Have a good night everyone! See you at the station soon, Evan :)
	11:51pm efd: see you next week, Danne! and the week after that too.
	11:51pm Eddy in Australia: Great show as usual, Evan. I missed the Marty Thau tribute but will definitely listen to the archive later.
	11:51pm nanantatee: Great show, EFD, thanks man.
	11:53pm efd: Thanks for listening, everybody! Looking forward to hearing from you during the marathon. :D
	11:55pm Whooda: Good criss-crossing eyed radio DJ DFD. Thanks Marathon?...uh, I think I have to clean the ashtrays that day....
	11:58pm nanantatee: SPARKS RULE!
	11:59pm P-90: Thanks @efd, you're one of the real champs See you next week in the Marathon Zone
	12:00am P-90: Sparks sure as shit do Rule!
