	9:04pm JakeGould: Woo!
	♥ 9:10pm efd: woo you, Jake!
	♥ 9:15pm chris_in_space: Hey Funkstituents! Always good to be here on a Wednesday night.
	♥ 9:17pm Chop Scott: Killing it as ever--Cheers EFD!
	♥ 9:17pm efd: funkstituents! I like it!
	♥ 9:19pm efd: thank you Scott!
	9:21pm Stevel: funkstituents Have to practice my spelling, but I could roll with that.
	♥ 9:22pm chris_in_space: Ha @efd, I try my best to bring a different salutation every week. It ain't easy.
	♥ 9:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For Roger Daltrey's B-Day - lotsa Wh♂-influenced goodies like Sweet & TheClash !...
	♥ 9:23pm Uncle Michael: I swear to protect and defend the Funkstitution.
	♥ 9:26pm chris_in_space: @Uncle Michael: nice one. @Revolution Rabbit: love that you tak the time to use the ascii character in "wh♂"
	9:26pm Stevel: Complete Control is such an insider song, and comes across so clearly. So much anger. So much rock.
	♥ 9:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clash's 1st album - in my Top20 Albums ever. Kind of surprisingly...
	9:33pm Stevel: My first Clash album was Give ''em Enough Rope, like many midlanders, I'd suppose. First US release (?)
	9:36pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Ha! Thanks for the term, “Insider Song.” Was actually thinking of such songs today; things that reference some kind inside baseball or band issue that almost nobody knows or cares about. Like Ramones’ “KKK Took My Baby Away” or even Elvis Costello’s “Radio Radio”
	9:36pm Stevel: First name was spelled "Hughie" on Edmund's Repeat When Necessary.
	9:38pm Stevel: Jake. Yeah, they're not always the best songs, but they're usually interesting. "EMI, by Sex Pistols, for example.
	♥ 9:38pm efd: It took him a while to find himself.
	9:40pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Yeah, the songs seem to me to be excuses for fans to lecture other fans on true song meanings. For example, I cannot ever listen to “Radio Radio” with just joy anymore thanks to the song’s subtext being hammered into my head over the years. Also, Hughie sounds like a deli man. Huey sounds like a duck.
	9:40pm eye in the sky: Interesting Clover spin-off band named SVT. Jack Cassidy on bass with Brian Marnell on lead and vocals. Good power pop trio. Had a Bay Area hit with "Heart Of Stone". Marnell went on to Jim Carroll band right before he ODed.Sad affair. Check SVT out. Good band.
	9:41pm Stevel: I've never heard the back stories on KKK or RR. Please don't feel obligated to tell them! Tornadoes last night (nothing much broken around here) snowing sideways tonight. Fucking lovely weather. Dogs didn't care.
	♥ 9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Punk was such a small & particular scene in those earliest days; by the time the Pistols' album was out late '77, that scene was already over for the insiders! Took a while for TheClash to get out too - & even longer yeah to get out in thuh U.S.A. ... 'RadioRadio' is eternally true, tho' - Corporate Formats now more than ever...
	♥ 9:42pm Uncle Michael: I have the Heart of Stone single. Another SVT single too.
	9:42pm Mailman Tom: I love Italian rock and roll
	♥ 9:42pm efd: oh yeah, SVT are great! I've played "Heart Of Stone" several times on my show.
	♥ 9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - in SVT - that's the JeffersonAirplane's/HotTuna's Jack Cassidy - who played on 'ElectricLadyland' w/ Hendrix.
	9:46pm eye in the sky: Marnell worked with Game Theory as well right before he died. The Sacto crowd were very connected.
	♥ 9:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting. Learned about GameTheory right here.
	♥ 9:53pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm blown away by this Peter Holsapple song
	♥ 9:55pm Tommy in Neversink: It has kind of a Drive By Truckers feel to it
	9:58pm Julie M Brooklyn: Stop saying "apostrophe"! Just rock n roll!
	♥ 9:59pm efd: I strive for accuracy here on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show!
	♥ 10:00pm Uncle Michael: I hate to run counter to the culture, but the Clash were bigger posers than the Pistols. I'm a Clash fan but they were careerists. Strummer veered from the 101'ers course to the Clash becaue he saw the importance of following fashion. All the political sloganeering in the world doesn't change the fact that they were guys trying to make a good living making music. Why this should be a crime, I have no idea.
	10:02pm Scraps: oh yeah
	10:04pm Scraps: Uncle Michael is right, every word, including the last important sentence
	♥ 10:10pm Bootsie: Always love hearing this.
	10:11pm Scraps: Poseur is a dumb accusation. (To me.) Maybe I think The Damned, or even worse, 999, were poseurs, but that accusation is in my head. Music is the key. (And, of course, my involvement in music is also in my head. But I can try to involve you in my head...)
	♥ 10:11pm chris_in_space: @Bootsie it really never gets old
	10:12pm eye in the sky: I first saw the Clash in ? '80 ? Fliers on telephone poles said " The Only Band That Matters" at Temple Beautiful. Great show! Bill Graham told the band he had exclusive rights to all Bay Area shows so they said fuck you and did this one off. Negative Trend opened. Google Clash + Temple Beautiful to see pictures!
	♥ 10:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull...like PeteTownshend said his original idea of TheWh♂ was an ArtSchool idea he had - that they would be a Pop band but 'strap dynamite on themselves' & self-destruct very quickly...but then, kids responded strongly to his songwriting...& the royalty checks came in - & he got diverted! The Pistols were like a band sticking to his original conception (...whether every member really wanted to live that destiny exactly or not...) - & TheClash were more like a band that understood what Pete learned later from the beginning...but they didn't last very long either, really. (& only that 1st album is - completely like that 1st album.) Identity crisis is right there in the names of both TheWh♂ & Clash - & I think TheClash were pretty up front about being Poets of that condition - not the people w/ Thuh Answer...
	♥ 10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - in a rockumentary - they ask Bowie if he was threatened by Punk - & he says - no - they all wanted so badly to be RawkStars...
	♥ 10:15pm Uncle Michael: he'd know about that
	♥ 10:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would credit Lydon w/ understanding the limitations of being a RawkStar - a lot more than an awful lot of people who could've benefited from that...
	♥ 10:20pm Uncle Michael: which dumb moody blues record was supposed to be in the sleeve?
	10:20pm Scraps: You have to turn off your sense of humor to play the Moody Blues (to me, to me, to me!)
	10:21pm Dean: Moody Slide Slim and the Blues Horizon?
	♥ 10:21pm Tommy in Neversink: Ah, the old replacing the Moody Blues with James Taylor record store move
	♥ 10:22pm Tommy in Neversink: Can't believe you fell for it EFD
	♥ 10:22pm Tommy in Neversink: Can I order food for you guys
	♥ 10:25pm efd: email Scott about it, Tommy - maybe but I'm not sure how that works.
	♥ 10:26pm efd: was expecting to find On The Threshold Of A Dream inside the Moody Blues sleeve. The booklet was in there.
	♥ 10:28pm Tommy in Neversink: I love DAYS OF THE FUTURE PAST but know nothing about any of thier other albums.....I'll contact Scott
	♥ 10:30pm efd: thanks Tommy! Hope you can work something out, appreciate the thought.
	10:31pm whattawino: This Fleshtones tune is killin' it! Reminds me of The The....in a good way!
	♥ 10:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Two thots re Moodys (whom I like): 1.) Who says Psych must always be the screaminghorrors? Not me. (Much as I like that.) 2.) They represent the morphing of Psych into Prog prefectly.
	10:32pm Scraps: Even weirder is when the record LABEL is wrong. I have a CD where the label is Albert Ayler (I think) and the CD is Don Cherry
	10:34pm Scraps: I like the CD either way so I didn't trade it in
	10:35pm Scraps: Having to track down what album it was was weird, though
	10:36pm Julie M Brooklyn: It does happen, Scraps, and now you have a "collector's item."
	♥ 10:36pm Switchblade Batman: Great show tonight EFD!
	♥ 10:36pm efd: I think I've come across a record or two that had the wrong label... always fun/exciting!
	♥ 10:37pm efd: hey, thanks SwBatman! Happy to see you here.
	♥ 10:38pm chris_in_space: Loving the Clifton Chenier. Speaking of Bayou Country, anyone catch Scharpling last night talking about how Fogerty occasionally sings with a drawl, but was born and raised in Berkeley, CA?
	10:41pm Scraps: Fogerty deliberately did that, so that he could pretend to be from the south
	♥ 10:41pm Switchblade Batman: Anytime. Looking forward to the fundraiser.
	10:41pm Scraps: Well, I mean, I assume he did it deliberately
	♥ 10:43pm Ike: ✔✔✔
	♥ 10:43pm chris_in_space: @Scraps, I should have mentioned that he contrasted his note about Fogerty with Elvis, who didn't use the accent, and was from Memphis. I think the word in question was "born"; or "boyne", as in "boyne on the Bayou"
	10:49pm Scraps: By the time Fogerty was trying for success, being from the south was cool, whereas in Elvis's time, you sung with an midAmerican accent if you wanted to be taken seriously. If you sung with a southern accent, you ended up forced into blues or country
	♥ 10:50pm Bootsie: Split Squad is SO great live. Especially in a tiny room like that. Eddie Muñoz!!
	10:54pm Scraps: ManateeEEEeeeEEEees!
	10:54pm Scraps: Good name!
	♥ 10:56pm chris_in_space: @Scraps I'll buy that, but what made the South cool between the mid 50s and the late 60s?
	10:57pm Scraps: George Wallace. ;-)
	10:59pm Scraps: I think ten years later, rock was completely accepted, and rock fans grew up.
	11:00pm Scraps: (I think)
	11:01pm Scraps: But that's not the whole story. I dunno....
	♥ 11:03pm chris_in_space: @scraps at least after 10+ years, rock was more of a thing, and it was in garages across the nation. Perhaps any sort of identity–be it regional, racial, spiritual, etc–was just part of the progression of making pop music.
	11:04pm Julie M Brooklyn: Well, if I couldn't hear The Bedazzler before I get ready to go off to bed, at least I got to hear Bowie. Thanks and good night.
	♥ 11:05pm efd: SOMEONE TOOK "THE BEDAZZLER" OUT OF THE NEW BIN AND I DIDN'T BRING MY COPY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IN THE NEW BIN!!!1!
	♥ 11:05pm efd: (goodnight Julie)
	11:06pm Scraps: The 50s and 60s were severely changed. I guess that's obvious..... funny, I was just reading about the changing tenor in the writing about America from the 50s through the 60s.....
	♥ 11:08pm eyenoise: OH HECK YEAH EFD! SLEAFORD MODS!!
	11:08pm Scraps: Here it is: thepointmag.com...
	11:10pm Scraps: My god, no Bedazzler??
	11:12pm Scraps: Station to Station is my favorite Bowie album. It is, it is.
	♥ 11:13pm chris_in_space: @scraps The Point looks good. Will be checking it out.
	11:14pm Scraps: Flaming Lips! Boy, I wish I could go.
	11:23pm Roberto: The Bedazzler hour grows late.
	11:24pm Roberto: I'm not pointing any fingers, but I noticed that Tod-o-phonic played the Bedazzler last Saturday.
	11:25pm Julie M Brooklyn: You know what, The Bedazzler is great, and so are potato chips and ice cream. But if you have potato chips and ice cream all the time, it's not a treat anymore, is it? Wait, what am I saying? Songs like that exist to play over and over and over! I await its return on this show. Until then, goodnight Evan. And Funkstituents. And Manateees everywhere.
	♥ 11:25pm efd: I noticed that too, Roberto.
	♥ 11:26pm chris_in_space: Nicely said @Julie. Night
	♥ 11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like how @ the end efd trips out sometimes - ha...
	11:39pm Roberto: YASSSS
	11:39pm Scraps: YES
	♥ 11:40pm Chop Scott: EFD--delivering the goods, as ever!
	11:40pm Julie M Brooklyn: Well hello, The Bedazzler. Come here often? Boy, am I glad I stayed up for ya.
	♥ 11:41pm efd: of course I also wanted to play this tonight because I brought the perfect record from home to segue into from it.
	♥ 11:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Is this gonna be like how MattW always & forever plays Felder?...Is it awlready?...
	♥ 11:41pm efd: I WILL NOT BE DENIED THE BEDAZZLER
	♥ 11:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay, Bedazzler!
	♥ 11:42pm Chop Scott: EFD is the Bedazzler.
	11:44pm listener Bill from Dallas: I love the Bedazzler, I love Stag and I love all that old Petrol Emotion stuff!
	♥ 11:51pm efd: thank you all for your Bedazzling enthusiasm!
	♥ 12:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx efd !

	♥ 10:30pm efd: thanks Tommy! Hope you can work something out, appreciate the thought.
	10:31pm whattawino: This Fleshtones tune is killin' it! Reminds me of The The....in a good way!
	♥ 10:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Two thots re Moodys (whom I like): 1.) Who says Psych must always be the screaminghorrors? Not me. (Much as I like that.) 2.) They represent the morphing of Psych into Prog prefectly.
	10:32pm Scraps: Even weirder is when the record LABEL is wrong. I have a CD where the label is Albert Ayler (I think) and the CD is Don Cherry
	10:34pm Scraps: I like the CD either way so I didn't trade it in
	10:35pm Scraps: Having to track down what album it was was weird, though
	10:36pm Julie M Brooklyn: It does happen, Scraps, and now you have a "collector's item."
	♥ 10:36pm Switchblade Batman: Great show tonight EFD!
	♥ 10:36pm efd: I think I've come across a record or two that had the wrong label... always fun/exciting!
	♥ 10:37pm efd: hey, thanks SwBatman! Happy to see you here.
	♥ 10:38pm chris_in_space: Loving the Clifton Chenier. Speaking of Bayou Country, anyone catch Scharpling last night talking about how Fogerty occasionally sings with a drawl, but was born and raised in Berkeley, CA?
	10:41pm Scraps: Fogerty deliberately did that, so that he could pretend to be from the south
	♥ 10:41pm Switchblade Batman: Anytime. Looking forward to the fundraiser.
	10:41pm Scraps: Well, I mean, I assume he did it deliberately
	♥ 10:43pm Ike: ✔✔✔
	♥ 10:43pm chris_in_space: @Scraps, I should have mentioned that he contrasted his note about Fogerty with Elvis, who didn't use the accent, and was from Memphis. I think the word in question was "born"; or "boyne", as in "boyne on the Bayou"
	10:49pm Scraps: By the time Fogerty was trying for success, being from the south was cool, whereas in Elvis's time, you sung with an midAmerican accent if you wanted to be taken seriously. If you sung with a southern accent, you ended up forced into blues or country
	♥ 10:50pm Bootsie: Split Squad is SO great live. Especially in a tiny room like that. Eddie Muñoz!!
	10:54pm Scraps: ManateeEEEeeeEEEees!
	10:54pm Scraps: Good name!
	♥ 10:56pm chris_in_space: @Scraps I'll buy that, but what made the South cool between the mid 50s and the late 60s?
	10:57pm Scraps: George Wallace. ;-)
	10:59pm Scraps: I think ten years later, rock was completely accepted, and rock fans grew up.
	11:00pm Scraps: (I think)
	11:01pm Scraps: But that's not the whole story. I dunno....
	♥ 11:03pm chris_in_space: @scraps at least after 10+ years, rock was more of a thing, and it was in garages across the nation. Perhaps any sort of identity–be it regional, racial, spiritual, etc–was just part of the progression of making pop music.
	11:04pm Julie M Brooklyn: Well, if I couldn't hear The Bedazzler before I get ready to go off to bed, at least I got to hear Bowie. Thanks and good night.
	♥ 11:05pm efd: SOMEONE TOOK "THE BEDAZZLER" OUT OF THE NEW BIN AND I DIDN'T BRING MY COPY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IN THE NEW BIN!!!1!
	♥ 11:05pm efd: (goodnight Julie)
	11:06pm Scraps: The 50s and 60s were severely changed. I guess that's obvious..... funny, I was just reading about the changing tenor in the writing about America from the 50s through the 60s.....
	♥ 11:08pm eyenoise: OH HECK YEAH EFD! SLEAFORD MODS!!
	11:08pm Scraps: Here it is: thepointmag.com...
	11:10pm Scraps: My god, no Bedazzler??
	11:12pm Scraps: Station to Station is my favorite Bowie album. It is, it is.
	♥ 11:13pm chris_in_space: @scraps The Point looks good. Will be checking it out.
	11:14pm Scraps: Flaming Lips! Boy, I wish I could go.
	11:23pm Roberto: The Bedazzler hour grows late.
	11:24pm Roberto: I'm not pointing any fingers, but I noticed that Tod-o-phonic played the Bedazzler last Saturday.
	11:25pm Julie M Brooklyn: You know what, The Bedazzler is great, and so are potato chips and ice cream. But if you have potato chips and ice cream all the time, it's not a treat anymore, is it? Wait, what am I saying? Songs like that exist to play over and over and over! I await its return on this show. Until then, goodnight Evan. And Funkstituents. And Manateees everywhere.
	♥ 11:25pm efd: I noticed that too, Roberto.
	♥ 11:26pm chris_in_space: Nicely said @Julie. Night
	♥ 11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like how @ the end efd trips out sometimes - ha...
	11:39pm Roberto: YASSSS
	11:39pm Scraps: YES
	♥ 11:40pm Chop Scott: EFD--delivering the goods, as ever!
	11:40pm Julie M Brooklyn: Well hello, The Bedazzler. Come here often? Boy, am I glad I stayed up for ya.
	♥ 11:41pm efd: of course I also wanted to play this tonight because I brought the perfect record from home to segue into from it.
	♥ 11:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Is this gonna be like how MattW always & forever plays Felder?...Is it awlready?...
	♥ 11:41pm efd: I WILL NOT BE DENIED THE BEDAZZLER
	♥ 11:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay, Bedazzler!
	♥ 11:42pm Chop Scott: EFD is the Bedazzler.
	11:44pm listener Bill from Dallas: I love the Bedazzler, I love Stag and I love all that old Petrol Emotion stuff!
	♥ 11:51pm efd: thank you all for your Bedazzling enthusiasm!
	♥ 12:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx efd !
