	9:12pm efd: Philip, clearly you missed the five previous Disco Dance Parties! :)
	9:13pm Matt from Springfield: @Phillip: Evan "Funk" Davies, disco's friend on FMU! (And Nick Gilder's biggest friend on radio in general!)
	9:13pm Holly in NC: @efd - off topic, but I missed this due to work and am so sad. Did you hear any reports? www.slicingupeyeballs.com...

	9:17pm efd: Holly, heard it was happening but haven't seen any follow-up reports. Philip, you're here now and that's what counts. Pretty sure one of those three songs will get played tonight.
	9:18pm Lonely Planet Boy: the bridge in More X3 is one of my favorite musical passages
	9:18pm Matt from Springfield: "Just got back from Africa"...well then, just like in '76--you'd better get tested for ebola!!
	9:19pm Matt from Springfield: @Lonely Planet Boy: How do you like it? How do you like it? ;)
	9:19pm Phillip.(Brooklyn): @efd Excellent:-) I'll be listening. I have nothing against disco. I even like some if it.
	9:20pm JakeGould: EFD, this completely reminds me of Coney Island/Brighton Beach boardwalk weekends back in the 1970s. I was kid, but 1 block away from the beach.
	9:21pm Holly in NC: @efd - now that my eyes have adjusted, I strongly vote in favor of this being your background for the rest of the season. Love it! :-) A lot!
	9:22pm ?: efd- I look forward to your dance parties every year, it's a lot of fun!
	9:22pm steve: hey disco people! nice backdrop! god, why don't i own a proper disco ball.

	9:25pm Matt from Springfield: @steve: I have a lava lamp, but I need something spinny, myself...
	9:27pm Holly in NC: @Phillip - I'm thinking more my Calvin Kleins... but roller skates yes yes yes! ffun = fflute yay
	9:28pm JakeGould: Roller disco in Central Park.
	9:28pm Phillip.(Brooklyn): I remember when the 13 year old me went to a disco roller rink.
	9:28pm Todd76Pct: Evan, as a fellow old WBLS aficionado, you're channelling the vibe very well, and demonstrating how blurred the funk/disco lines were back then. 'Go on with your bad self'...
	9:29pm steve: nice Matt. i do have an amazing revolving liquid light projector, but i think the lamp is cooked.
	9:29pm Phillip.(Brooklyn): I lost count how many times I fell on my behind trying to roller skate
	9:30pm Weems: Whew! Almost missed it Funk! You opened with my ring tone!
	9:31pm efd: WEEMS! Glad you made it, I was getting worried!
	9:32pm Holly in NC: fwiw, Family Groove records have been doing an amazing job of releasing both new & previously unreleased Aurra tracks. Highly recommended. www.familygrooverecords.com...

	10:00pm Todd76Pct: The only thing missing from this experience is a sweltering hot August night...Walked away from my speakers for a few and Peech Boys started playing in my old dome.
	10:01pm JustSheaNo: Nice to hear you, EFD! I'm chillin with this song, pretending I'm rollerskating on the waterfront in Canarsie. Good job!
	10:01pm bobdoesthings: anyone got recommendations on what headphones I should get? I want open cans.. $200-350 range.. so many good option out there.. I just find myself baffled after a week of reading audiophile reviews and head-fi posts..
	10:01pm efd: yeah Todd, I love that Peech Boys LP! Didn't bring it tonight though. I agree, it's not quite hot enough but what are you going to do...
	10:02pm Callieflower: Thanks for a great show, Evan. It's a nice distraction from John Popper not being happy with me on twitter
	10:03pm Danne D: Callie you are fighting John Popper?!? :) Runs to twitter
	10:04pm Callieflower: Not really a fight. He's a weirdo who has alerts on his name and was mad that I called his band bad
	10:05pm efd: oh good grief.
	10:05pm efd: JustSheaNo I've got a song for you in the pipeline, so let me know if/when you're fixing to exit.
	10:06pm ?: evan you always put on a great show. i'm enjoying it very much!!
	10:06pm chad from oregon: Wait, did EFD just say that he was coming out to Portland, OR?
	10:07pm efd: yes he did! Details coming up!
	10:07pm Kat in Chicago: @Callieflower you're not the first person I've heard of who's had weird interactions with John Popper on Twitter.
	10:08pm steve: thats hilarious Callie
	10:10pm chad from oregon: Damn this being a night of extended 12" versions rather than radio edits!
	10:11pm ?: I just love disco, evan!
	10:12pm chad from oregon: (I'm not a Millennial with a short attention span, but waiting is still not my strongest suit!)
	10:12pm bobdoesthings: @EFD - loving everything I've heard, I gotta listen to your shows more! I'm too much of a bum at these hours
	10:12pm steve: nothing like a good disco lazer
	10:13pm Danne D: Trying to join in on the fun now Callie - let's see if they bite. The crazy part is that you did not @ them in the tweet in question lol
	10:13pm Callieflower: But ignoring my little aside, I'm loving this show :)
	10:14pm aws from MP: too much fun, Evan, distracting me from finalizing college loan app for my daughter!. Greetings from NW Bergen County, as always
	10:14pm chad from oregon: My strongest suit, however, would look great on a disco floor.
	10:15pm bobdoesthings: @aws - .. hmmm NW bergen .... Midland Park?
	10:15pm Weems: Did you play You Like it, We Love it by Southroad Connection lady year. A monster.
	10:17pm pawsbecause: wow, thanks for the plug, evan :)
	10:18pm bobdoesthings: Or also.. try any of these horns --- www.instantrapairhorn.com
	10:19pm bobdoesthings: (try clicking a "different effect" on top!!)
	10:20pm Holly in NC: Had to google John Popper. So turns out I only know him from end scene of Kingpin. I love Kingpin. Yes, I do.
	10:20pm efd: I did, Weems - flipped it over tonight!
	10:20pm kristin belz: hey how did you know i am listening in Portland, OR? cool that you are bringing FMU out here for a little west coastie toastie at Beech St.
	10:21pm efd: (and pitched it up a little bit based on your comment last year!)
	10:23pm chad from oregon: Thanks EFD! And I'll catch you here in a month!
	10:23pm Joe B: Fred Sanford's favorite act!
	10:24pm efd: They make his temperature feel like a hundred degrees!
	10:24pm Yoenis: Yeah!
	10:25pm ?: let's keep this party goin' all night! what do you say evan?
	10:26pm Danne D: someone is a bit spoiled I'd say
	10:28pm slugluv1313: Good evening EFD & listeners & cat sitters too! Cat sitting here in JC myself - kitties and I are totally digging the disco dance party!
	10:28pm Danne D: okay so the live stream of #Ferguson with this in the backroom is kinda a little too bizarre
	10:28pm Stevel: Cow bell! Cow bell! Cow bell!!!
	10:28pm Danne D: live I've stumbled upon my own ECC mash-up or something
	10:29pm efd: see you then Chad, and you too Kristin!
	10:30pm KP: Hey, Hey Evan!
	10:30pm KP: And Danne D!
	10:31pm Danne D: s'up KP
	10:31pm hola-soymilk: Ok I'm here to listen to disco
	10:32pm courtneynoir: @Danne D I think that's how the news should ALWAYS be presented!
	10:32pm aws from MP: Midland Park it is, Bob -
	10:33pm bobdoesthings: @aws - couldn't think of any other "MP" - I'm from Norwood originally - NE bergen
	10:34pm courtneynoir: I think I might be moving around too much to the music to keep drawing. Good thing I'm not at the carving stage of this woodcut!
	10:34pm Danne D: Hola, Hola :) Agreed, Courtney :)
	10:36pm ?: it looks like Julie's missing out on a great party, huh evan?
	10:36pm Holly in NC: Best catsitter in NC in the house! :-) Also, only thing better than more cowbell = more vocoder
	10:36pm Danne D: I got a gentleman's C in woodshop, Courtney, I'm chagrined to say
	10:36pm Kathy: Why am I craving a Sloe Gin Fizz ????
	10:36pm Danne D: Hi Holly :)
	10:37pm bobdoesthings: anyone have any suggestions for some sweet home-listening cans?
	10:38pm aws from MP: @bob - outside of NJ now? been here 15 yrs as of last Sat ---
	10:39pm bobdoesthings: @AWS - Yeah.. moved to Flatbush Brooklyn a year ago so my commute to manhattan didn't involve rockland coach or port authority.. even sold my car :( but all good.. I still get WFMU on my FM tuner here!
	10:41pm Holly in NC: Hi Danne! How are things in Ferguson? (aside from profoundly f*cked up) Everyone, great article @ deadspin. And most telling, scariest picture.
	10:42pm rw: We're having trouble sitting still over here!
	10:42pm Weems: Rosko. Got any Paco?
	10:43pm Holly in NC: @Kathy - my 16 y/o self will join you! Let's have several!
	10:45pm Danne D: @bobdoesthings I like the KRK's I bought for like $60, though the cord is very long
	10:48pm Kathy: exactly! @Holly Sloe Gin Fizz? Do they still exist? Haven't had one in 35 years!!! Dial Tone in Danbury Ct.... Late 70's early 80's, disco all night.... and Mondays from 8-9pm was 6 for 1 night. 6 drinks for the price of one. We'd order like 100 drinks in an hour and the rest is a blur!! Then the place burnt to the ground! Disco inferno for real!!
	10:49pm steve: bob - im very happy with my AKG K 240s.
	10:51pm bobdoesthings: @danne. gnarly.. they have a clean look. I dig that. But I am looking to drop some serious coin for something that will last me years to come.. going to make some bad financial calls on this next set.. @steve - AKG has some sweet looking pairs. The reviews from those nerdy than I are also pretty well respected
	10:52pm efd: Weems, no Paco. No Jay Thomas either.
	10:53pm ?: i'm so into this efd, disco is great music! thnx evan for playing k.c. my favorite disco band,
	10:53pm Weems: Cue T Connection and Jimmy Bo Horne
	10:54pm bobdoesthings: Anyone know a place you can try on a lot of cans before buying? I think B&H might do that.. I'd really like to experience them before buying..
	10:54pm Fuzzy: bob: I like my Bluetooth Arctic P311s...I can disco dance all over the house, even out to the street, almost!
	10:57pm Holly in NC: Love this song! @Kathy- the Norge, New Haven CT early-mid 80s, no music, just a dive bar that didn't card very young people who drank sloe gin fizzes :-)
	10:57pm bobdoesthings: @fuzzy. nice. those would be sweet for moving about.. but I want a pair for home listening, preferably open cans (not closed/covered behind driver) and super comfy..
	10:58pm Todd76Pct: @Kathy - The Dialtone?!?! You're freakin' me out! Db CT represent! I live about a mile from where that was...We used to also hit The Sunset Cafe in New Milford to dance 'cause a friend would DJ there and spin all of our requests...
	10:58pm Fuzzy: Boo! Boo! Boo! Ta read my mind, EFD!
	10:58pm efd: Weems, solid guesses but perhaps not the tracks you're thinking of...
	10:58pm steve: i will buy ANYTHING on TK Disco on sight. Joe McGasko even let me take home a TK O'Jays 12 that was floating around the basement a few weeks ago, when he saw how excited i was.
	10:59pm efd: Right there with you, steve!
	10:59pm KP: Ding
	11:00pm Chop Scott: EFD! Remember that X-Mas did a great cover of this?
	11:00pm Fuzzy: "Sunny Jo White, KISS 108!" Boston represent!
	11:01pm Holly in NC: Generally I only clicky star songs I don't own, but I must clicky clicky click Ms Ward because yay!
	11:02pm steve: i cant think of any other label with a better ratio of quality to used bin price!
	11:03pm steve: bob - AC Gears on E 8th St by Broadway, had a wall of headphones to try on last time i was in there (which was admittedly over a year ago)
	11:04pm bobdoesthings: For anyone interested .. I'm looking at Sennheiser HD 598, Sennheiser HD600, Audio Technica ATH-M50X, Audio Technica ATH AD-900X, Beyerdynamic DT-880, Focal Spirit Professionals, AKG K702 (or K701), also the Phillips Fidelio X1 (more for looks than reviews on sound quality)... God.. If I were not me and I were to hear me talk... I would make fun of me for being such a shmuck.. as if it actually mattered.. like I would ever even notice.. as if this werent just me wanting to feel cool for getting the perfect pair .. ugh..
	11:04pm efd: next record is a perfect example of a 12" I bought just because it was on TK and turned out to be a monster of a song.
	11:05pm Weems: Next v/o inst: Shotgun Shuffle?
	11:05pm bobdoesthings: @steve - thanks. I'll check them out
	11:06pm bobdoesthings: www.innerfidelity.com...
	11:08pm steve: no way! i had no idea this was on TK. god jesus dammit, this and i wanna go home with you are disco face melters of the highest caliber!
	11:09pm ?: well evan, I got to go now. all good things must come to an end. once more thnx for all the great funky tunes you played night all!
	11:11pm Weems: 3 years in a row for the D Moore cut? In the name if Tom Moulton...Light on Philly tonight! Salsoul Orch was in NYC last week. Blue Notes. Trammps, Peiples Choice, Love Committee.
	11:12pm ?: it really was fun.
	11:12pm Clay Pigeon: Reminding me of my old 96 FEVER days at WOKF, Evan. Great show! Midnight Blue - Lou Gramm.
	11:14pm Danne D: I gotta sign off folks :) Have a good night and thanks EFD :) Good night everyone :) Bye Holly :)
	11:15pm Clay Pigeon: I think GLADE was a TK subsidiary. Home to Timmy Thomas. This SOS cut is so good.
	11:15pm bobdoesthings: I'm sure no-one gives a shit.. but I really want killer headphones because of my folks. My dad invested (I'm guessing 2 grand in the 80s) on STAX headphones with the special electromagnetic headphone boxes..and He would always flip shit when I tried to use them without asking permission as a little kid.. My mom would put on records and hand me the headphones and I have real good memories of being totally blown away by those headphones.... but alas... I cannot afford the now $3-5 grand worth headphones.. I just want to get something that'll make me feel the 'WOW' I remember putting those stax on as a kid..
	11:17pm Clay Pigeon: Love that snare, like their whacking an x-ray with a wooden spoon.
	11:17pm Holly in NC: SOS band gets another clicky star for sheer wonderfulness
	11:18pm herb.nyc: Fun show, on a coupla levels. Thx evan. (My cat yawns, however. She's not into any music)
	11:18pm efd: night, Danne! Nice to see you, Clay! Glad you're enjoying the show. It was exactly Lou Gramm who popped into my head as I was trying to remember whether Dorothy Moore's hit was "Midnight Blue" or "Misty Blue."
	11:19pm efd: Weems, next year will be four years in a row for that record!
	11:19pm Todd76Pct: @Clay: Hi, kynd sir! This SOS cut is an all-time fave of mine! Thanks again, efd, for all of this!!!
	11:20pm Weems: Believe he was thinking Midnight Blue by Melissa Manchester.
	11:20pm efd: this Jacksons record might be my favorite 12" remix ever. The siren kills me every time.
	11:21pm efd: yes, Melissa Manchester too!
	11:23pm ?: i had tons of fun,efd night
	11:23pm efd: thanks cheri, goodnight.
	11:25pm Holly: Dorothy Moore = Misty Blue
	11:25pm Clay Pigeon: I'm remembering all these old disco cuts now ... Gibson Bros. - Cuba --- GQ - Disco Nights ----- Wardell Piper - Super Sweet ----- Bryan Adams - Let Me Take You Dancin' ---- Born to be Alive - Patrick Hernandez ... and on and on.
	11:32pm efd: I've played that Wardell Piper before, Clay! Didn't bring it tonight, though (I know you weren't making a request). "Born To Be Alive" is here, could be coming up but it's a race against the clock!
	11:32pm Weems: Hmm. Soccio could lead anywhere: Chic, Bohannon, Voyage, Beautiful Bend, Don Ray, Bionic Boogie...
	11:37pm efd: look out Weems, you just got hit by a D Train!
	11:39pm bobdoesthings: @EFD - keep on keepin' on. Great show!
	11:40pm efd: thanks bobdt!
	11:40pm efd: and good luck in your headphone quest!
	11:41pm Todd76Pct: Wowza! D Train! Love that you dipped into some Italodisco tonight too, Evan! Great late night drafting music, even though my wizened old azz is squirming in my chair...
	11:41pm bobdoesthings: @efd - thanks!
	11:42pm steve: did anyone else catch Joel St Germain's debut fill in last Friday evening? i thought i was a big fan of Italo Disco, and yet he played 3 solid hours of primo 80s Italian dance and related musics and i only recognized two cuts in 3 hours! pretty amazing stuff, highly recommended.
	11:44pm efd: oh man, I totally missed that! Thanks for the pointer, steve!
	11:45pm Weems: My toes are tapping, but my eyelids are flapping. Good show bro! Until next year!
	11:46pm efd: Thanks buddy! See you on the Facebooks.
	11:46pm Todd76Pct: Yeah, thanks, Steve! Will have to it the archives for that too!
	11:47pm bobdoesthings: wow.. many famous samples on tonight's show. so cool to catch them from the originals... crazy.
	11:47pm efd: If Weems were still here he'd tell us that Warren Tesoro from Downstairs Records was in Gary Toms Empire.
	11:47pm Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @efd: why are you doing this to us? :-(
	11:47pm Todd76Pct: *hit
	11:48pm Eric the Half a Bee: Awesome old school; as Kelvyn Bell put it, EFD: Refunkanation!
	11:50pm Stevel: Blow your whistle!!
	11:54pm bobdoesthings: only recently got my swag, gonna listen to the EFD starting with the 70s vol 3 premium tomorrow at work for sure!
	11:54pm efd: hoo boy, one more record left! This has been all kinds of fun, thank you all for listening and commenting!
	11:56pm Danne D: @bobdoesthings one thing I'll say for sure, though it seems obvious, make sure you try out the headphones you want to buy in person. Your ears will know best. Good night again folks :)
	11:56pm Tome: ..the love I lost > ooh bummer , I was thinking Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes my fave maybe ...
	11:57pm bobdoesthings: for sure danne D. have a good one
	11:57pm efd: that is a great one, Tome! Maybe next year! :)
	11:58pm Stevel: Killer radio, yet again. Thanks!
	11:58pm Todd76Pct: Thanks so much for this stellar set tonight, Evan...Not that you don't always kill!
	11:58pm Matt from Springfield: Coming back to say thank you EFD, nother great disco success! I was up and movin' around! Hope everyone had so much fun--have a good night, and keep dancin'! :D
	11:59pm bobdoesthings: thanks EFD!

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!
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!

August 13, 2014: The 6th annual Evan "Funk" Davies Disco and/or Dance Party!

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

Summertime always reminds me of listening to Ken "Spider" Webb and Ricky Ricardo and, of course the Chief Rocker Frankie Crocker on WBLS. So when summer rolls around 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 present the 6th nearly annual Evan "Funk" Davies Disco and/or Dance Party! I'll be spinning some classic jams from the mid-'70s and early '80s, along with some of the lesser-known nuggets. It's the kind of show that makes you say "I haven't heard this in 35 years" and "why haven't I heard this before?!" I can assure you that the beat will be turned around, your whistle will be blown, and your body will be shaken down to the ground so push the furniture against the wall and enjoy!

=======================================
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. No griping, please!

Just be good to me! Like The Evan "Funk" Davies Show on Facebook, and follow me on Twitter!

	9:11pm cameron_michael: Hey Matt!
	9:11pm Phillip.(Brooklyn): I've been a wfmu listener going on 30 years. I can't remember when I've every heard disco music on it?
	9:12pm efd: Philip, clearly you missed the five previous Disco Dance Parties! :)
	9:13pm Matt from Springfield: @Phillip: Evan "Funk" Davies, disco's friend on FMU! (And Nick Gilder's biggest friend on radio in general!)
	9:13pm Holly in NC: @efd - off topic, but I missed this due to work and am so sad. Did you hear any reports? www.slicingupeyeballs.com...

	9:17pm efd: Holly, heard it was happening but haven't seen any follow-up reports. Philip, you're here now and that's what counts. Pretty sure one of those three songs will get played tonight.
	9:18pm Lonely Planet Boy: the bridge in More X3 is one of my favorite musical passages
	9:18pm Matt from Springfield: "Just got back from Africa"...well then, just like in '76--you'd better get tested for ebola!!
	9:19pm Matt from Springfield: @Lonely Planet Boy: How do you like it? How do you like it? ;)
	9:19pm Phillip.(Brooklyn): @efd Excellent:-) I'll be listening. I have nothing against disco. I even like some if it.
	9:20pm JakeGould: EFD, this completely reminds me of Coney Island/Brighton Beach boardwalk weekends back in the 1970s. I was kid, but 1 block away from the beach.
	9:21pm Holly in NC: @efd - now that my eyes have adjusted, I strongly vote in favor of this being your background for the rest of the season. Love it! :-) A lot!
	9:22pm ?: efd- I look forward to your dance parties every year, it's a lot of fun!
	9:22pm steve: hey disco people! nice backdrop! god, why don't i own a proper disco ball.

	9:27pm Holly in NC: @Phillip - I'm thinking more my Calvin Kleins... but roller skates yes yes yes! ffun = fflute yay
	9:28pm JakeGould: Roller disco in Central Park.
	9:28pm Phillip.(Brooklyn): I remember when the 13 year old me went to a disco roller rink.
	9:28pm Todd76Pct: Evan, as a fellow old WBLS aficionado, you're channelling the vibe very well, and demonstrating how blurred the funk/disco lines were back then. 'Go on with your bad self'...
	9:29pm steve: nice Matt. i do have an amazing revolving liquid light projector, but i think the lamp is cooked.
	9:29pm Phillip.(Brooklyn): I lost count how many times I fell on my behind trying to roller skate
	9:30pm Weems: Whew! Almost missed it Funk! You opened with my ring tone!
	9:31pm efd: WEEMS! Glad you made it, I was getting worried!
	9:32pm Holly in NC: fwiw, Family Groove records have been doing an amazing job of releasing both new & previously unreleased Aurra tracks. Highly recommended. www.familygrooverecords.com...
	9:34pm ?: disco lives at the evan funk davies show! thank you efd.

	10:00pm efd: my pleasure pawsb!
	10:00pm Todd76Pct: The only thing missing from this experience is a sweltering hot August night...Walked away from my speakers for a few and Peech Boys started playing in my old dome.
	10:01pm JustSheaNo: Nice to hear you, EFD! I'm chillin with this song, pretending I'm rollerskating on the waterfront in Canarsie. Good job!
	10:01pm bobdoesthings: anyone got recommendations on what headphones I should get? I want open cans.. $200-350 range.. so many good option out there.. I just find myself baffled after a week of reading audiophile reviews and head-fi posts..
	10:01pm efd: yeah Todd, I love that Peech Boys LP! Didn't bring it tonight though. I agree, it's not quite hot enough but what are you going to do...
	10:02pm Callieflower: Thanks for a great show, Evan. It's a nice distraction from John Popper not being happy with me on twitter
	10:03pm Danne D: Callie you are fighting John Popper?!? :) Runs to twitter
	10:04pm Callieflower: Not really a fight. He's a weirdo who has alerts on his name and was mad that I called his band bad
	10:05pm efd: oh good grief.
	10:05pm efd: JustSheaNo I've got a song for you in the pipeline, so let me know if/when you're fixing to exit.
	10:06pm ?: evan you always put on a great show. i'm enjoying it very much!!
	10:06pm chad from oregon: Wait, did EFD just say that he was coming out to Portland, OR?
	10:07pm efd: yes he did! Details coming up!
	10:07pm Kat in Chicago: @Callieflower you're not the first person I've heard of who's had weird interactions with John Popper on Twitter.
	10:08pm steve: thats hilarious Callie
	10:10pm chad from oregon: Damn this being a night of extended 12" versions rather than radio edits!
	10:11pm ?: I just love disco, evan!
	10:12pm chad from oregon: (I'm not a Millennial with a short attention span, but waiting is still not my strongest suit!)
	10:12pm bobdoesthings: @EFD - loving everything I've heard, I gotta listen to your shows more! I'm too much of a bum at these hours
	10:12pm steve: nothing like a good disco lazer
	10:13pm Danne D: Trying to join in on the fun now Callie - let's see if they bite. The crazy part is that you did not @ them in the tweet in question lol
	10:13pm Callieflower: But ignoring my little aside, I'm loving this show :)
	10:14pm aws from MP: too much fun, Evan, distracting me from finalizing college loan app for my daughter!. Greetings from NW Bergen County, as always
	10:14pm chad from oregon: My strongest suit, however, would look great on a disco floor.
	10:15pm bobdoesthings: @aws - .. hmmm NW bergen .... Midland Park?
	10:15pm Weems: Did you play You Like it, We Love it by Southroad Connection lady year. A monster.

	10:18pm bobdoesthings: Or also.. try any of these horns --- www.instantrapairhorn.com
	10:19pm bobdoesthings: (try clicking a "different effect" on top!!)
	10:20pm Holly in NC: Had to google John Popper. So turns out I only know him from end scene of Kingpin. I love Kingpin. Yes, I do.
	10:20pm efd: I did, Weems - flipped it over tonight!
	10:20pm kristin belz: hey how did you know i am listening in Portland, OR? cool that you are bringing FMU out here for a little west coastie toastie at Beech St.
	10:21pm efd: (and pitched it up a little bit based on your comment last year!)
	10:23pm chad from oregon: Thanks EFD! And I'll catch you here in a month!
	10:23pm Joe B: Fred Sanford's favorite act!
	10:24pm efd: They make his temperature feel like a hundred degrees!
	10:24pm Yoenis: Yeah!
	10:25pm ?: let's keep this party goin' all night! what do you say evan?
	10:26pm Danne D: someone is a bit spoiled I'd say
	10:28pm slugluv1313: Good evening EFD & listeners & cat sitters too! Cat sitting here in JC myself - kitties and I are totally digging the disco dance party!
	10:28pm Danne D: okay so the live stream of #Ferguson with this in the backroom is kinda a little too bizarre
	10:28pm Stevel: Cow bell! Cow bell! Cow bell!!!
	10:28pm Danne D: live I've stumbled upon my own ECC mash-up or something
	10:29pm efd: see you then Chad, and you too Kristin!
	10:30pm KP: Hey, Hey Evan!
	10:30pm KP: And Danne D!
	10:31pm Danne D: s'up KP
	10:31pm hola-soymilk: Ok I'm here to listen to disco
	10:32pm courtneynoir: @Danne D I think that's how the news should ALWAYS be presented!
	10:32pm aws from MP: Midland Park it is, Bob -
	10:33pm bobdoesthings: @aws - couldn't think of any other "MP" - I'm from Norwood originally - NE bergen
	10:34pm courtneynoir: I think I might be moving around too much to the music to keep drawing. Good thing I'm not at the carving stage of this woodcut!
	10:34pm Danne D: Hola, Hola :) Agreed, Courtney :)
	10:36pm ?: it looks like Julie's missing out on a great party, huh evan?
	10:36pm Holly in NC: Best catsitter in NC in the house! :-) Also, only thing better than more cowbell = more vocoder
	10:36pm Danne D: I got a gentleman's C in woodshop, Courtney, I'm chagrined to say
	10:36pm Kathy: Why am I craving a Sloe Gin Fizz ????
	10:36pm Danne D: Hi Holly :)
	10:37pm bobdoesthings: anyone have any suggestions for some sweet home-listening cans?
	10:38pm aws from MP: @bob - outside of NJ now? been here 15 yrs as of last Sat ---
	10:39pm bobdoesthings: @AWS - Yeah.. moved to Flatbush Brooklyn a year ago so my commute to manhattan didn't involve rockland coach or port authority.. even sold my car :( but all good.. I still get WFMU on my FM tuner here!
	10:41pm Holly in NC: Hi Danne! How are things in Ferguson? (aside from profoundly f*cked up) Everyone, great article @ deadspin. And most telling, scariest picture.
	10:42pm rw: We're having trouble sitting still over here!
	10:42pm Weems: Rosko. Got any Paco?
	10:43pm Holly in NC: @Kathy - my 16 y/o self will join you! Let's have several!
	10:45pm Danne D: @bobdoesthings I like the KRK's I bought for like $60, though the cord is very long
	10:48pm Kathy: exactly! @Holly Sloe Gin Fizz? Do they still exist? Haven't had one in 35 years!!! Dial Tone in Danbury Ct.... Late 70's early 80's, disco all night.... and Mondays from 8-9pm was 6 for 1 night. 6 drinks for the price of one. We'd order like 100 drinks in an hour and the rest is a blur!! Then the place burnt to the ground! Disco inferno for real!!
	10:49pm steve: bob - im very happy with my AKG K 240s.
	10:51pm bobdoesthings: @danne. gnarly.. they have a clean look. I dig that. But I am looking to drop some serious coin for something that will last me years to come.. going to make some bad financial calls on this next set.. @steve - AKG has some sweet looking pairs. The reviews from those nerdy than I are also pretty well respected
	10:52pm efd: Weems, no Paco. No Jay Thomas either.
	10:53pm ?: i'm so into this efd, disco is great music! thnx evan for playing k.c. my favorite disco band,
	10:53pm Weems: Cue T Connection and Jimmy Bo Horne
	10:54pm bobdoesthings: Anyone know a place you can try on a lot of cans before buying? I think B&H might do that.. I'd really like to experience them before buying..
	10:54pm Fuzzy: bob: I like my Bluetooth Arctic P311s...I can disco dance all over the house, even out to the street, almost!
	10:57pm Holly in NC: Love this song! @Kathy- the Norge, New Haven CT early-mid 80s, no music, just a dive bar that didn't card very young people who drank sloe gin fizzes :-)
	10:57pm bobdoesthings: @fuzzy. nice. those would be sweet for moving about.. but I want a pair for home listening, preferably open cans (not closed/covered behind driver) and super comfy..
	10:58pm Todd76Pct: @Kathy - The Dialtone?!?! You're freakin' me out! Db CT represent! I live about a mile from where that was...We used to also hit The Sunset Cafe in New Milford to dance 'cause a friend would DJ there and spin all of our requests...
	10:58pm Fuzzy: Boo! Boo! Boo! Ta read my mind, EFD!
	10:58pm efd: Weems, solid guesses but perhaps not the tracks you're thinking of...
	10:58pm steve: i will buy ANYTHING on TK Disco on sight. Joe McGasko even let me take home a TK O'Jays 12 that was floating around the basement a few weeks ago, when he saw how excited i was.
	10:59pm efd: Right there with you, steve!
	10:59pm KP: Ding
	11:00pm Chop Scott: EFD! Remember that X-Mas did a great cover of this?
	11:00pm Fuzzy: "Sunny Jo White, KISS 108!" Boston represent!
	11:01pm Holly in NC: Generally I only clicky star songs I don't own, but I must clicky clicky click Ms Ward because yay!
	11:02pm steve: i cant think of any other label with a better ratio of quality to used bin price!
	11:03pm steve: bob - AC Gears on E 8th St by Broadway, had a wall of headphones to try on last time i was in there (which was admittedly over a year ago)
	11:04pm bobdoesthings: For anyone interested .. I'm looking at Sennheiser HD 598, Sennheiser HD600, Audio Technica ATH-M50X, Audio Technica ATH AD-900X, Beyerdynamic DT-880, Focal Spirit Professionals, AKG K702 (or K701), also the Phillips Fidelio X1 (more for looks than reviews on sound quality)... God.. If I were not me and I were to hear me talk... I would make fun of me for being such a shmuck.. as if it actually mattered.. like I would ever even notice.. as if this werent just me wanting to feel cool for getting the perfect pair .. ugh..
	11:04pm efd: next record is a perfect example of a 12" I bought just because it was on TK and turned out to be a monster of a song.
	11:05pm Weems: Next v/o inst: Shotgun Shuffle?
	11:05pm bobdoesthings: @steve - thanks. I'll check them out
	11:06pm bobdoesthings: www.innerfidelity.com...
	11:08pm steve: no way! i had no idea this was on TK. god jesus dammit, this and i wanna go home with you are disco face melters of the highest caliber!
	11:09pm ?: well evan, I got to go now. all good things must come to an end. once more thnx for all the great funky tunes you played night all!
	11:11pm Weems: 3 years in a row for the D Moore cut? In the name if Tom Moulton...Light on Philly tonight! Salsoul Orch was in NYC last week. Blue Notes. Trammps, Peiples Choice, Love Committee.
	11:12pm ?: it really was fun.
	11:12pm Clay Pigeon: Reminding me of my old 96 FEVER days at WOKF, Evan. Great show! Midnight Blue - Lou Gramm.
	11:14pm Danne D: I gotta sign off folks :) Have a good night and thanks EFD :) Good night everyone :) Bye Holly :)
	11:15pm Clay Pigeon: I think GLADE was a TK subsidiary. Home to Timmy Thomas. This SOS cut is so good.
	11:15pm bobdoesthings: I'm sure no-one gives a shit.. but I really want killer headphones because of my folks. My dad invested (I'm guessing 2 grand in the 80s) on STAX headphones with the special electromagnetic headphone boxes..and He would always flip shit when I tried to use them without asking permission as a little kid.. My mom would put on records and hand me the headphones and I have real good memories of being totally blown away by those headphones.... but alas... I cannot afford the now $3-5 grand worth headphones.. I just want to get something that'll make me feel the 'WOW' I remember putting those stax on as a kid..
	11:17pm Clay Pigeon: Love that snare, like their whacking an x-ray with a wooden spoon.
	11:17pm Holly in NC: SOS band gets another clicky star for sheer wonderfulness
	11:18pm herb.nyc: Fun show, on a coupla levels. Thx evan. (My cat yawns, however. She's not into any music)
	11:18pm efd: night, Danne! Nice to see you, Clay! Glad you're enjoying the show. It was exactly Lou Gramm who popped into my head as I was trying to remember whether Dorothy Moore's hit was "Midnight Blue" or "Misty Blue."
	11:19pm efd: Weems, next year will be four years in a row for that record!
	11:19pm Todd76Pct: @Clay: Hi, kynd sir! This SOS cut is an all-time fave of mine! Thanks again, efd, for all of this!!!
	11:20pm Weems: Believe he was thinking Midnight Blue by Melissa Manchester.
	11:20pm efd: this Jacksons record might be my favorite 12" remix ever. The siren kills me every time.
	11:21pm efd: yes, Melissa Manchester too!
	11:23pm ?: i had tons of fun,efd night
	11:23pm efd: thanks cheri, goodnight.

	11:25pm Clay Pigeon: I'm remembering all these old disco cuts now ... Gibson Bros. - Cuba --- GQ - Disco Nights ----- Wardell Piper - Super Sweet ----- Bryan Adams - Let Me Take You Dancin' ---- Born to be Alive - Patrick Hernandez ... and on and on.
	11:32pm efd: I've played that Wardell Piper before, Clay! Didn't bring it tonight, though (I know you weren't making a request). "Born To Be Alive" is here, could be coming up but it's a race against the clock!
	11:32pm Weems: Hmm. Soccio could lead anywhere: Chic, Bohannon, Voyage, Beautiful Bend, Don Ray, Bionic Boogie...

	11:41pm bobdoesthings: @efd - thanks!
	11:42pm steve: did anyone else catch Joel St Germain's debut fill in last Friday evening? i thought i was a big fan of Italo Disco, and yet he played 3 solid hours of primo 80s Italian dance and related musics and i only recognized two cuts in 3 hours! pretty amazing stuff, highly recommended.
	11:44pm efd: oh man, I totally missed that! Thanks for the pointer, steve!
	11:45pm Weems: My toes are tapping, but my eyelids are flapping. Good show bro! Until next year!
	11:46pm efd: Thanks buddy! See you on the Facebooks.
	11:46pm Todd76Pct: Yeah, thanks, Steve! Will have to it the archives for that too!
	11:47pm bobdoesthings: wow.. many famous samples on tonight's show. so cool to catch them from the originals... crazy.
	11:47pm efd: If Weems were still here he'd tell us that Warren Tesoro from Downstairs Records was in Gary Toms Empire.
