	9:51pm Steve: Any Giorgio Moroder in the mix tonight, EFD ?!

	♥ 9:52pm efd: you're listening to a Giorgio tune right now Steve!
	♥ 9:52pm Kat in Chicago: Harmony, another great one that I can never remember the artist's name. Is it possible to print out one's clicky-star list?
	♥ 9:52pm Tome: me too EFD just he's one that always sticks out ,, playin' the 12" late 70's *BondY" records worked that a happy time [ despite the economy being in the dumps ] a lock up Park Row from J$R closer to the bridge ...

	9:55pm deluded souls: Queems: Ain't gonna happen

	9:56pm queems: @deluded souls it will
	9:56pm queems: thank you @kat!!!!
	♥ 9:57pm Kat in Chicago: this would be some rad wedding music. hard to dance in one of those monstrous white dresses though.
	9:57pm Weems: It was hearing Sylvester’s Dance Disco Heat on my iPhone last week, and Hot Shot by Karen Young soon after that reminded me of KTU’s 40th anniversary!
	9:58pm JakeGould: Hey EFD! Hey Melinda!
	9:58pm queems: @kat disco wedding jumpsuit is appropriate i think
	♥ 9:59pm Kat in Chicago: haha!
	♥ 9:59pm Tome: * swear to God "" " Last Dance"" "" """ I will survived ""[ every brooklyn Italian / Irish wedding too .. ].
	♥ 10:00pm Kat in Chicago: oh lord, disco Dr. John
	♥ 10:00pm Quasi Mojo: EFD, the disco dance party should be a Monty Hall event. Maybe sometime down the road.
	♥ 10:01pm Kat in Chicago: I WOULD FLY IN JUST FOR THAT
	10:02pm Figgsrock: WHAT IS THIS DR. JOHN SONG!?!??!? DID I PASS AWAY DURING EFD’S SHOW AND AM NOW IN HELL’S ELEVATOR? (Apparently in hell everyone types in caps lock.)
	10:02pm steveL: Quasi Mojo makes an interesting point.
	♥ 10:02pm Tome: .. gets the labs coat and rick sanchez hair color ready for that one....
	10:03pm JakeGould: Saw a homeless guy tonight yelling a disco lyric to a kid as he chased him around a tree. The kid was on a skateboard and the homeless guy is trying to kick his back wheels shouting, “You and your fucking skateboard! Your stupid hipster t-shirt! Where’s my money!” I think in the right hands—as this Dr. John song proves—it can be a sleeper hit! “Your Stupid Hipster T-Shirt (Where’s My Money)”
	10:03pm steveL: That underline on the Dr John has a Cabaret Voltaire sound to it.
	10:03pm john: Evan, it's been something like forty years and you've just accomplished something I thought could never be done--found a Dr. John track I like.
	♥ 10:04pm Kat in Chicago: Wow Jake, that's aggressive. Homeless dude needs to find that wifi thing you told me about on Friday and chill out to his bluetooth speaker. As for this track, I forgot that it was actually cool
	10:05pm JakeGould: Oh, and in 1984 a high school teacher would somehow volunteer this advice—unsolicited—to kids in the class who I think were all wearing “Journey” t-shirts from a show they went to: “I don’t like to go to shows. I like to just sit at home and listen to Dr. John and enjoy a drink or two.”
	♥ 10:06pm Alex of Chicago: Vote for EFD to do that voice all year.
	10:06pm JakeGould: @AlexofChicago: Yowza! Yowza! Yowza!
	♥ 10:07pm Kat in Chicago: I'm supposed to be putting together an ambient playlist for a gig on Saturday, but that is not getting done tonight.
	10:08pm Steve: EFD, do you think we should call you EDD for Evan Disco Davies just for tonight's 10th annual Disco Dance Par-tay ?! ;)
	♥ 10:08pm Ciggy: Tome, I bought many a 12" at Bondy's in the early 80s
	10:09pm Gus the Bus: I'm ready to spill the tea about Jim James
	10:10pm JakeGould: @Tome: I remember Bondy’s in the 1980s and even recently before they closed.
	♥ 10:11pm Tome: worked there from like mid 77 until just about start of 79 ,, was a nice time ,despite all the shenanigans,, MANY came and went in that store, by the time JR got like 4 stores I believe they closed hat to be by '84 if not before yes
	♥ 10:12pm efd: @Steve I'm fine sticking with EFD, thanks :)
	♥ 10:12pm Tome: ...boxes of them yep UP and DOWN the stairs ,, they were not light ,, .. those 12' ..
	10:12pm JakeGould: @Tome: Huh? As I recall, Bondy’s on Park Row was even around in the 2000s. I definitely bought some Stax CDs from them.
	10:13pm Weems: Predictions for tracks you will play before the clock strikes Midnight based on previous years: Dorothy Moore, Jimmy Bo Horne, CJ & Co, and 80s faves, D Train, BB&Q, Fonda Rae, Strikers, Yarborough & Peoples
	10:13pm JakeGould: Anyway, I miss the jazz experts flipping through albums in J&R and Tower as well.
	10:13pm Figgsrock: This Santa Esmeralda cover is such a forgotten gem of that era.
	♥ 10:13pm efd: I'm gonna say at least four of those are locks, Weems!
	♥ 10:14pm Tome: wow had no idea they were still around that long .. JR yes !
	♥ 10:14pm Ciggy: The last 12" I bought outta Bondy's was Mirror in the Bathroom.
	♥ 10:14pm Uncle Michael: Has anyone seem my whistle and my bottle of butyl nitrate?
	10:14pm queems: alright, gotta catch the rest on the archives. it’s been fun. bye guys!
	10:15pm Steve: Whatever happened to J&R Music World ?
	♥ 10:15pm Kat in Chicago: @Figgsrock agreed, I prefer it to the original!
	♥ 10:15pm Kat in Chicago: bye queems!
	♥ 10:15pm Tome: .. the "back of the store was the back of the corner restaruant next door just remember NO back store room ,, and to who lugged those 12" s for about a year and 1/2 up and down those stairs ,,
	♥ 10:15pm Ciggy: Bye queems!
	10:17pm JakeGould: @Steve: The Internet. They closed down in 2014 or so I believe. They said they were ‘closed for renovations” but never reopened.
	♥ 10:17pm Ciggy: The whole J&R block is condos (i think).
	10:17pm JakeGould: @Tome: Bless your back!
	♥ 10:18pm Tome: 6'2" 175 , cycled 20 _ miles a day 28 " waist, yep wishful thinking now ... oh I'm still 6'1" might have shrunk an inch in height yep and basement was NOT air con either !
	10:19pm JakeGould: The history of J&R is basically on Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org... Not too sure if the back became condos, but everything in NYC seems to be a condo.
	♥ 10:19pm Tome: but then again $25 a cay could buy you luck for the whole week and weekend too ....
	♥ 10:21pm medson: @efd Boogie Nights by Heatwave? Since were sweltering here in NJ
	10:21pm JakeGould: Anyway, the beat goes on.
	♥ 10:21pm Tome: .. Headquarters: New York City, NY Founder: Rachelle Friedman Founded: 1971 Number of locations: 2 (April 2014; at time of main store closing) Defunct: April 9, 2014 yep Joe and Rachelle Friedman ....
	♥ 10:23pm efd: @medson maybe! I have the single with me, so that's half the battle!
	♥ 10:23pm Ciggy: This era of music was Very conflicting for me. I am a R&R apostle then, now and forever. But when I could see J Geils at Great Gildersleeves Then book over to The Beacon theater to see Return to Forever then head back home and crash the evening up at our local Discos such as Peachtree's or Hoops. Conflating all the music into my mind.
	♥ 10:23pm Tome: ,, seem by like mid 79 ,, from what I remember the 12' thing was dying out a bit .. but album sales were up ie ,,, Bily Joel 52nd st ,, was like 31 seller 2 the time I left "Bondy" ,,
	10:24pm cheri: evan, I'm really having so much fun tonight!! thanks again so much efd!
	♥ 10:25pm Kat in Chicago: @Ciggy that's a great night out!
	10:27pm phat: anybody Wanna Party?
	10:28pm sam pocker: I used to listen to WBLS late at night as well. Was so great.
	♥ 10:30pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't know there was a Disco Desiderata
	♥ 10:30pm Ciggy: @Kat, that was more than one night out. But sometimes i feel like it was.
	10:31pm fleep: The National Lampoon version: You are a fluke of the universe, you have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not, the Universe is laughing behind your back.
	♥ 10:32pm Ciggy: No one better than Rosko!
	♥ 10:32pm Kat in Chicago: Now "Deteriorata" I remember. With Melissa Manchester on vocals!
	10:32pm Steve: Pretty sad J&R closed down. Just read the Wiki info.
	♥ 10:33pm Kat in Chicago: fleep, your dolphin's fins are in time with this track and it's hilarious
	♥ 10:34pm efd: I am dead from the strings in this First Choice song, sorry everyone
	♥ 10:34pm melinda: Disco Dolphin
	10:34pm Weems: Excellent. Thank God you found Rosko material and not Paco! The initial presentation on KTU was monotone back announce. Visiting from Rochester, could not believe a station played disco around the clock! Fantasy was reality!
	♥ 10:34pm melinda: Love the First Choice.
	♥ 10:35pm Tome: LOT doing on this first choice 12' indeed !
	♥ 10:35pm melinda: Disco strings rule.
	10:36pm Michael from the Left Coast: EFD, were you there when they played in 2014?
	♥ 10:37pm efd: First Choice?? No, totally missed it!
	10:37pm Michael from the Left Coast: Yes, First Choice played some outdoor gig and I don't know anyone who was there unfortunately
	10:39pm steveL: Born Free = terrible enough
	♥ 10:39pm slugluv1313: Good Evening, EFD and everyone! loving the Disco Dance Party YEAH! (thought of you when Jack Mello played "Walking on Sunshine" by Rockers Revenge earlier today!) is it just me, or does "Great Expectations" sound a bit like Mary Jane Girls' "In My House"?!
	♥ 10:41pm slugluv1313: aww man just seeing i missed Santa Esmerelda!
	♥ 10:41pm efd: @steveL they could have been singing anything, really
	10:44pm steveL: efd: There in lies the genius! Low production costs. Turn out a song every hour.
	♥ 10:46pm slugluv1313: re: Chuck Leonard -- i heard him some years ago -- i think on WBLS? filling in for someone? but called him up (yup quite awhile ago!) and told him how happy i was to hear him on the airwaves -- & how i remembered him from WABC-AM days too :)
	10:49pm Michael from the Left Coast: Slugluv, Chuck Leonard was a nice guy--he used to hang out at a bar in my neighborhood and he was really a wonderful bloke
	♥ 10:50pm melinda: I liked Born Free.
	10:50pm fleep: The Boogie Fund is now available as a no-fee Boogie ETF. Get yo share!
	♥ 10:51pm Kat in Chicago: Does the Boogie Fund accept bitcoin? (not that I have any)
	♥ 10:51pm melinda: fund, fund, fund
	♥ 10:54pm melinda: I like disco metaphors
	♥ 10:55pm Kat in Chicago: me too, melinda!
	11:00pm steveL: This song was huge.
	♥ 11:00pm Kat in Chicago: Trying to wrap my brain around the idea of a 60-year-old Michael Jackson. It's sad and scary.
	11:02pm Andrew S: Glad I didn't miss the disco show, I was about to say I havent heard a laser gun sound yet but I didnt have to wait long.
	11:03pm Andrew S: Quick look at what I missed and first I notice is I still have a lot of these 12"s. But not Dr. John, Ill have to have a listen back at that. He was always kinda flamboyant in his way but never heard disco Dr. John
	11:03pm Weems: Ok Funk, great job as always! Much better than Sirius XM Studio 54! I’ll catch the last hour on demand. Past my bedtime, and 15 year old boys don’t wake themselves, I’ll be up at 6. Cheers!
	♥ 11:04pm slugluv1313: @ fleep -- your dolphin is totally gettin' DOWN!
	11:04pm Gus the Bus: This MJ song isn't very good or representative of his talent.
	♥ 11:05pm Ciggy: @EFD, I gotta go, but you are one of the reasons i support WFMU. I've been a listener of you since The Afternoon Show. So, Let the Music Play. See ya.
	♥ 11:06pm efd: haha, thanks Weems!
	♥ 11:06pm Ike: I've heard this song before, but I didn't know the title and before I looked at the playlist, it sounded a bit to me like he was singing "shake your body like a toothbrush."
	♥ 11:06pm Kat in Chicago: oh, GREAT choice.
	♥ 11:06pm efd: hey, thanks so much Ciggy!
	11:07pm fleep: disco nite always makes me feel like flippin'
	♥ 11:07pm Kat in Chicago: I still hear this one (grace of god) in the clubs
	11:08pm Andrew S: no 30 cut beatles medleys, glad you were merciful
	♥ 11:08pm melinda: @Kat yeah, 60-year-old MJ is weird to imagine.
	♥ 11:09pm Kat in Chicago: his face was already falling apart before he passed
	♥ 11:09pm efd: @Andrew HAH!! I cringe at how awfulsome that was.
	♥ 11:10pm melinda: The extended Beatles medley of a few years ago was a highlight for me!
	11:10pm Andrew S: I would have liked to see him as a centenarian. He would have been otherworldly. Oh wait he already ticked that box.
	♥ 11:10pm efd: I believe somebody said Let The Music Play a few moments ago...
	♥ 11:10pm Kat in Chicago: I wouldn't want to live anywhere with no blacks, no Jews and no gays!
	♥ 11:11pm Kat in Chicago: so they did, efd!
	11:11pm Michael from the Left Coast: been waiting for Dorothy Moore!
	♥ 11:11pm melinda: I'll never forget the masterful segue from 'Get Back' to 'Back in the USSR'
	♥ 11:12pm Kat in Chicago: LOL I'd forgotten about that till now, melinda
	♥ 11:13pm efd: @Michael so have I! :D
	11:15pm poptone: EFD thank you playing the classic “there but for the grace of god go I” from Machine featuring August Darnell aka Kid Creole.
	♥ 11:17pm efd: you got it poptone!
	♥ 11:20pm Kat in Chicago: that 303 bassline
	11:21pm poptone: And BTW in case you already didn’t know, this show is slammin’!
	11:22pm Andrew S: I love that this extravaganza is always focused on classics instead of obscure italo. Not that there is anything wrong with the latter at all, just that every dj I see when I go out seem to be trying to outdo themselves with that stuff. Not the spirit of this show at all.
	♥ 11:24pm Kat in Chicago: Jack Mello's fill-ins are my favorites
	♥ 11:27pm efd: hey Andrew, I really appreciate that comment! It's always tough to find a balance between the favorites/hits and the new and lesser known records I've picked up recently, so I'm glad it seems to be working. :)
	♥ 11:29pm efd: speaking of hits!
	11:30pm Andrew S: see thats what im talking about. thats pure joy
	♥ 11:32pm efd: I trashed this song and this band so hard in high school, but now it sounds glorious
	11:33pm Andrew S: i typed that before even reading your comment, i had another page open but i heard this and I always feel comp[elled to come back and blurt something out when i hear something like this. volume went up a few notches. Yeah i trashed it too, now it sounds like bliss. You get older there are no guilty pleasures, only pleasures
	♥ 11:33pm melinda: it is glorious
	♥ 11:34pm medson: Good night. Amazing as always efd. Thanks for sparking lots of memories with these songs.
	11:34pm Joe B: great show EFD!
	♥ 11:34pm Kat in Chicago: I have a DJ friend who has obscure italo as one of his specialties, and I've had him guest on my show :) but Evan chooses the best of the best of the major and major-ish label releases
	♥ 11:35pm Kat in Chicago: plus some super fun goofy stuff!
	♥ 11:37pm melinda: I remember secretively listening to disco in the mid-80s, attitudes had not yet loosened and I was a self-conscious teen.
	11:38pm Davefromknoxville: Thanks for tunes, Mr Funk
	11:39pm Andrew S: Melinda you were cool you just werent old enough to realise it :) The teenage dilemma
	11:40pm bianca bob: Aw man! My quad skates are right back on my feet ! Amazing set EFD! Thanks!!
	♥ 11:40pm Kat in Chicago: Toto's "Africa" came out the same year as this one, haha
	♥ 11:44pm melinda: @Andrew thanks, I don't miss those years.
	♥ 11:48pm Kat in Chicago: oh, now I'm gonna get all emotional right at the end here.
	11:49pm Andrew S: I find myself thinkijng nostalgiacally even about times when i was miserable. It's a mental trick we all do (by we all I mean me) it's liike oh those were the days, even when they were nearly intolerable ;)
	11:50pm cheri: evan, thanks again for a another fun filled show, I really enjoyed it!!! goodnight!
	11:50pm Chris Warner: thanks, EFD! great show! :)
	♥ 11:54pm efd: NOBODY GO ANYWHERE! I have one more song and it's one of my favorites! :) also, you're welcome
	♥ 11:55pm Kat in Chicago: I thought this was Mr. Giant Man Goes To The Disco but now there's some sort of hell and firearms thing going on?
	11:55pm Andrew S: Another classic show for the archives.
	11:55pm chris: wooooo! one more song!!!!!
	♥ 11:55pm Kat in Chicago: Anyway, it's helping me dry my tears from the SOS Band
	11:55pm Andrew S: thats one of my favoutrite record covers
	♥ 11:55pm melinda: @Andrew I do that too, looking back at my college years.
	11:56pm Andrew S: and ive always had copies of it but never listened to it much, that was some smoking guitar on that
	♥ 11:56pm slugluv1313: oh cool, DEVIL'S GUN! i believe Monica mentioned on one of her shows that this was the first record to be played at Studio 54 -- which i never went to (i was more of a CBGB and Max's gurl) -- BUT i had to run out and find a copy of "Devil's Gun" immediately :)
	♥ 11:57pm Kat in Chicago: @Andrew this cover? www.discogs.com...
	11:57pm Andrew S: yep
	♥ 11:58pm Kat in Chicago: another Tom Moulton Mix
	♥ 11:59pm Kat in Chicago: Great, great show.
	12:00am Andrew S: thanks efd i swear it was like radar i hear this show every year and its by accident i diodnt even know what day today was
	12:00am Andrew S: but that was great night folks

August 29, 2018: The 10th Annual Evan "Funk" Davies Show Summertime Disco/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. Although, I was reminded by old friend and regular EFD D/DP listener Weems that this summer marks the 40th anniversary of Disco 92 WKTU hitting the New York City airwaves. So while I was always more of a 'BLS guy I'll see if I can summon the spirits of Paco, Rosko, and Carlos DeJesus as well.

In any case, 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'm excited to bring you the 10th (!!) annual Evan "Funk" Davies Show Disco and/or Dance Party! It's three hours of classic dance and disco jams from the '70s and early '80s, plus some lost shoulda-been-hits that just might become your new faves. Hook up the disco ball, pull the rug back, and tell the downstairs neighbors to go out to the movies (or just invite them up!) and get ready to get up and boogie. That's right!

=======================================

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. Don't @ me!

	9:56pm queems: @deluded souls it will
	9:56pm queems: thank you @kat!!!!
	♥ 9:57pm Kat in Chicago: this would be some rad wedding music. hard to dance in one of those monstrous white dresses though.
	9:57pm Weems: It was hearing Sylvester’s Dance Disco Heat on my iPhone last week, and Hot Shot by Karen Young soon after that reminded me of KTU’s 40th anniversary!
	9:58pm JakeGould: Hey EFD! Hey Melinda!
	9:58pm queems: @kat disco wedding jumpsuit is appropriate i think
	♥ 9:59pm Kat in Chicago: haha!
	♥ 9:59pm Tome: * swear to God "" " Last Dance"" "" """ I will survived ""[ every brooklyn Italian / Irish wedding too .. ].
	♥ 10:00pm Kat in Chicago: oh lord, disco Dr. John
	♥ 10:00pm Quasi Mojo: EFD, the disco dance party should be a Monty Hall event. Maybe sometime down the road.
	♥ 10:01pm Kat in Chicago: I WOULD FLY IN JUST FOR THAT
	10:02pm Figgsrock: WHAT IS THIS DR. JOHN SONG!?!??!? DID I PASS AWAY DURING EFD’S SHOW AND AM NOW IN HELL’S ELEVATOR? (Apparently in hell everyone types in caps lock.)
	10:02pm steveL: Quasi Mojo makes an interesting point.
	♥ 10:02pm Tome: .. gets the labs coat and rick sanchez hair color ready for that one....
	10:03pm JakeGould: Saw a homeless guy tonight yelling a disco lyric to a kid as he chased him around a tree. The kid was on a skateboard and the homeless guy is trying to kick his back wheels shouting, “You and your fucking skateboard! Your stupid hipster t-shirt! Where’s my money!” I think in the right hands—as this Dr. John song proves—it can be a sleeper hit! “Your Stupid Hipster T-Shirt (Where’s My Money)”
	10:03pm steveL: That underline on the Dr John has a Cabaret Voltaire sound to it.
	10:03pm john: Evan, it's been something like forty years and you've just accomplished something I thought could never be done--found a Dr. John track I like.
	♥ 10:04pm Kat in Chicago: Wow Jake, that's aggressive. Homeless dude needs to find that wifi thing you told me about on Friday and chill out to his bluetooth speaker. As for this track, I forgot that it was actually cool
	10:05pm JakeGould: Oh, and in 1984 a high school teacher would somehow volunteer this advice—unsolicited—to kids in the class who I think were all wearing “Journey” t-shirts from a show they went to: “I don’t like to go to shows. I like to just sit at home and listen to Dr. John and enjoy a drink or two.”
	♥ 10:06pm Alex of Chicago: Vote for EFD to do that voice all year.
	10:06pm JakeGould: @AlexofChicago: Yowza! Yowza! Yowza!
	♥ 10:07pm Kat in Chicago: I'm supposed to be putting together an ambient playlist for a gig on Saturday, but that is not getting done tonight.
	10:08pm Steve: EFD, do you think we should call you EDD for Evan Disco Davies just for tonight's 10th annual Disco Dance Par-tay ?! ;)
	♥ 10:08pm Ciggy: Tome, I bought many a 12" at Bondy's in the early 80s
	10:09pm Gus the Bus: I'm ready to spill the tea about Jim James
	10:10pm JakeGould: @Tome: I remember Bondy’s in the 1980s and even recently before they closed.
	♥ 10:11pm Tome: worked there from like mid 77 until just about start of 79 ,, was a nice time ,despite all the shenanigans,, MANY came and went in that store, by the time JR got like 4 stores I believe they closed hat to be by '84 if not before yes
	♥ 10:12pm efd: @Steve I'm fine sticking with EFD, thanks :)
	♥ 10:12pm Tome: ...boxes of them yep UP and DOWN the stairs ,, they were not light ,, .. those 12' ..
	10:12pm JakeGould: @Tome: Huh? As I recall, Bondy’s on Park Row was even around in the 2000s. I definitely bought some Stax CDs from them.
	10:13pm Weems: Predictions for tracks you will play before the clock strikes Midnight based on previous years: Dorothy Moore, Jimmy Bo Horne, CJ & Co, and 80s faves, D Train, BB&Q, Fonda Rae, Strikers, Yarborough & Peoples
	10:13pm JakeGould: Anyway, I miss the jazz experts flipping through albums in J&R and Tower as well.
	10:13pm Figgsrock: This Santa Esmeralda cover is such a forgotten gem of that era.
	♥ 10:13pm efd: I'm gonna say at least four of those are locks, Weems!
	♥ 10:14pm Tome: wow had no idea they were still around that long .. JR yes !
	♥ 10:14pm Ciggy: The last 12" I bought outta Bondy's was Mirror in the Bathroom.
	♥ 10:14pm Uncle Michael: Has anyone seem my whistle and my bottle of butyl nitrate?
	10:14pm queems: alright, gotta catch the rest on the archives. it’s been fun. bye guys!
	10:15pm Steve: Whatever happened to J&R Music World ?
	♥ 10:15pm Kat in Chicago: @Figgsrock agreed, I prefer it to the original!
	♥ 10:15pm Kat in Chicago: bye queems!
	♥ 10:15pm Tome: .. the "back of the store was the back of the corner restaruant next door just remember NO back store room ,, and to who lugged those 12" s for about a year and 1/2 up and down those stairs ,,
	♥ 10:15pm Ciggy: Bye queems!
	10:17pm JakeGould: @Steve: The Internet. They closed down in 2014 or so I believe. They said they were ‘closed for renovations” but never reopened.
	♥ 10:17pm Ciggy: The whole J&R block is condos (i think).
	10:17pm JakeGould: @Tome: Bless your back!
	♥ 10:18pm Tome: 6'2" 175 , cycled 20 _ miles a day 28 " waist, yep wishful thinking now ... oh I'm still 6'1" might have shrunk an inch in height yep and basement was NOT air con either !
	10:19pm JakeGould: The history of J&R is basically on Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org... Not too sure if the back became condos, but everything in NYC seems to be a condo.
	♥ 10:19pm Tome: but then again $25 a cay could buy you luck for the whole week and weekend too ....
	♥ 10:21pm medson: @efd Boogie Nights by Heatwave? Since were sweltering here in NJ
	10:21pm JakeGould: Anyway, the beat goes on.
	♥ 10:21pm Tome: .. Headquarters: New York City, NY Founder: Rachelle Friedman Founded: 1971 Number of locations: 2 (April 2014; at time of main store closing) Defunct: April 9, 2014 yep Joe and Rachelle Friedman ....
	♥ 10:23pm efd: @medson maybe! I have the single with me, so that's half the battle!
	♥ 10:23pm Ciggy: This era of music was Very conflicting for me. I am a R&R apostle then, now and forever. But when I could see J Geils at Great Gildersleeves Then book over to The Beacon theater to see Return to Forever then head back home and crash the evening up at our local Discos such as Peachtree's or Hoops. Conflating all the music into my mind.
	♥ 10:23pm Tome: ,, seem by like mid 79 ,, from what I remember the 12' thing was dying out a bit .. but album sales were up ie ,,, Bily Joel 52nd st ,, was like 31 seller 2 the time I left "Bondy" ,,
	10:24pm cheri: evan, I'm really having so much fun tonight!! thanks again so much efd!
	♥ 10:25pm Kat in Chicago: @Ciggy that's a great night out!
	10:27pm phat: anybody Wanna Party?
	10:28pm sam pocker: I used to listen to WBLS late at night as well. Was so great.
	♥ 10:30pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't know there was a Disco Desiderata
	♥ 10:30pm Ciggy: @Kat, that was more than one night out. But sometimes i feel like it was.
	10:31pm fleep: The National Lampoon version: You are a fluke of the universe, you have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not, the Universe is laughing behind your back.
	♥ 10:32pm Ciggy: No one better than Rosko!
	♥ 10:32pm Kat in Chicago: Now "Deteriorata" I remember. With Melissa Manchester on vocals!
	10:32pm Steve: Pretty sad J&R closed down. Just read the Wiki info.
	♥ 10:33pm Kat in Chicago: fleep, your dolphin's fins are in time with this track and it's hilarious
	♥ 10:34pm efd: I am dead from the strings in this First Choice song, sorry everyone
	♥ 10:34pm melinda: Disco Dolphin
	10:34pm Weems: Excellent. Thank God you found Rosko material and not Paco! The initial presentation on KTU was monotone back announce. Visiting from Rochester, could not believe a station played disco around the clock! Fantasy was reality!
	♥ 10:34pm melinda: Love the First Choice.
	♥ 10:35pm Tome: LOT doing on this first choice 12' indeed !
	♥ 10:35pm melinda: Disco strings rule.
	10:36pm Michael from the Left Coast: EFD, were you there when they played in 2014?
	♥ 10:37pm efd: First Choice?? No, totally missed it!
	10:37pm Michael from the Left Coast: Yes, First Choice played some outdoor gig and I don't know anyone who was there unfortunately
	10:39pm steveL: Born Free = terrible enough
	♥ 10:39pm slugluv1313: Good Evening, EFD and everyone! loving the Disco Dance Party YEAH! (thought of you when Jack Mello played "Walking on Sunshine" by Rockers Revenge earlier today!) is it just me, or does "Great Expectations" sound a bit like Mary Jane Girls' "In My House"?!
	♥ 10:41pm slugluv1313: aww man just seeing i missed Santa Esmerelda!
	♥ 10:41pm efd: @steveL they could have been singing anything, really
	10:44pm steveL: efd: There in lies the genius! Low production costs. Turn out a song every hour.
	♥ 10:46pm slugluv1313: re: Chuck Leonard -- i heard him some years ago -- i think on WBLS? filling in for someone? but called him up (yup quite awhile ago!) and told him how happy i was to hear him on the airwaves -- & how i remembered him from WABC-AM days too :)
	10:49pm Michael from the Left Coast: Slugluv, Chuck Leonard was a nice guy--he used to hang out at a bar in my neighborhood and he was really a wonderful bloke
	♥ 10:50pm melinda: I liked Born Free.
	10:50pm fleep: The Boogie Fund is now available as a no-fee Boogie ETF. Get yo share!
	♥ 10:51pm Kat in Chicago: Does the Boogie Fund accept bitcoin? (not that I have any)
	♥ 10:51pm melinda: fund, fund, fund
	♥ 10:54pm melinda: I like disco metaphors
	♥ 10:55pm Kat in Chicago: me too, melinda!
	11:00pm steveL: This song was huge.
	♥ 11:00pm Kat in Chicago: Trying to wrap my brain around the idea of a 60-year-old Michael Jackson. It's sad and scary.
	11:02pm Andrew S: Glad I didn't miss the disco show, I was about to say I havent heard a laser gun sound yet but I didnt have to wait long.
	11:03pm Andrew S: Quick look at what I missed and first I notice is I still have a lot of these 12"s. But not Dr. John, Ill have to have a listen back at that. He was always kinda flamboyant in his way but never heard disco Dr. John
	11:03pm Weems: Ok Funk, great job as always! Much better than Sirius XM Studio 54! I’ll catch the last hour on demand. Past my bedtime, and 15 year old boys don’t wake themselves, I’ll be up at 6. Cheers!
	♥ 11:04pm slugluv1313: @ fleep -- your dolphin is totally gettin' DOWN!
	11:04pm Gus the Bus: This MJ song isn't very good or representative of his talent.
	♥ 11:05pm Ciggy: @EFD, I gotta go, but you are one of the reasons i support WFMU. I've been a listener of you since The Afternoon Show. So, Let the Music Play. See ya.
	♥ 11:06pm efd: haha, thanks Weems!
	♥ 11:06pm Ike: I've heard this song before, but I didn't know the title and before I looked at the playlist, it sounded a bit to me like he was singing "shake your body like a toothbrush."
	♥ 11:06pm Kat in Chicago: oh, GREAT choice.
	♥ 11:06pm efd: hey, thanks so much Ciggy!
	11:07pm fleep: disco nite always makes me feel like flippin'
	♥ 11:07pm Kat in Chicago: I still hear this one (grace of god) in the clubs
	11:08pm Andrew S: no 30 cut beatles medleys, glad you were merciful
	♥ 11:08pm melinda: @Kat yeah, 60-year-old MJ is weird to imagine.
	♥ 11:09pm Kat in Chicago: his face was already falling apart before he passed
	♥ 11:09pm efd: @Andrew HAH!! I cringe at how awfulsome that was.
	♥ 11:10pm melinda: The extended Beatles medley of a few years ago was a highlight for me!
	11:10pm Andrew S: I would have liked to see him as a centenarian. He would have been otherworldly. Oh wait he already ticked that box.
	♥ 11:10pm efd: I believe somebody said Let The Music Play a few moments ago...
	♥ 11:10pm Kat in Chicago: I wouldn't want to live anywhere with no blacks, no Jews and no gays!
	♥ 11:11pm Kat in Chicago: so they did, efd!
	11:11pm Michael from the Left Coast: been waiting for Dorothy Moore!
	♥ 11:11pm melinda: I'll never forget the masterful segue from 'Get Back' to 'Back in the USSR'
	♥ 11:12pm Kat in Chicago: LOL I'd forgotten about that till now, melinda
	♥ 11:13pm efd: @Michael so have I! :D
	11:15pm poptone: EFD thank you playing the classic “there but for the grace of god go I” from Machine featuring August Darnell aka Kid Creole.
	♥ 11:17pm efd: you got it poptone!
	♥ 11:20pm Kat in Chicago: that 303 bassline
	11:21pm poptone: And BTW in case you already didn’t know, this show is slammin’!
	11:22pm Andrew S: I love that this extravaganza is always focused on classics instead of obscure italo. Not that there is anything wrong with the latter at all, just that every dj I see when I go out seem to be trying to outdo themselves with that stuff. Not the spirit of this show at all.
	♥ 11:24pm Kat in Chicago: Jack Mello's fill-ins are my favorites
	♥ 11:27pm efd: hey Andrew, I really appreciate that comment! It's always tough to find a balance between the favorites/hits and the new and lesser known records I've picked up recently, so I'm glad it seems to be working. :)
	♥ 11:29pm efd: speaking of hits!
	11:30pm Andrew S: see thats what im talking about. thats pure joy
	♥ 11:32pm efd: I trashed this song and this band so hard in high school, but now it sounds glorious
	11:33pm Andrew S: i typed that before even reading your comment, i had another page open but i heard this and I always feel comp[elled to come back and blurt something out when i hear something like this. volume went up a few notches. Yeah i trashed it too, now it sounds like bliss. You get older there are no guilty pleasures, only pleasures
	♥ 11:33pm melinda: it is glorious
	♥ 11:34pm medson: Good night. Amazing as always efd. Thanks for sparking lots of memories with these songs.
	11:34pm Joe B: great show EFD!
	♥ 11:34pm Kat in Chicago: I have a DJ friend who has obscure italo as one of his specialties, and I've had him guest on my show :) but Evan chooses the best of the best of the major and major-ish label releases
	♥ 11:35pm Kat in Chicago: plus some super fun goofy stuff!
	♥ 11:37pm melinda: I remember secretively listening to disco in the mid-80s, attitudes had not yet loosened and I was a self-conscious teen.
	11:38pm Davefromknoxville: Thanks for tunes, Mr Funk
	11:39pm Andrew S: Melinda you were cool you just werent old enough to realise it :) The teenage dilemma
	11:40pm bianca bob: Aw man! My quad skates are right back on my feet ! Amazing set EFD! Thanks!!
