I know it's Chevrolet, but I can't stop hearing "Chatroulette".

kinda changes the context

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:07pm steve:

hallo

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:09pm efd:

greetings steve, Joe D and G! Thanks for tuning in!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:10pm G:

salute to the late 70s!

Wed. 1/30/13 9:11pm pete:

Hey EFD!
Is that a young Peter Blegvad on vocals w/ the snips?

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:12pm steve:

now thats a message i can get behind

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:13pm G:

all that *&* a bag of chips

Wed. 1/30/13 9:15pm john:

All that and a baq of Pop Rocks!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:15pm efd:

@pete, no it was not!

Wed. 1/30/13 9:17pm john:

PS Hey Evan! Great start!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:19pm G:

Games at tennish?

Wed. 1/30/13 9:19pm Michael from the Left Coast:

I'm off to see Ron Sexsmith in minutes but EFD, you do know that today is Steve Marriott's birthday right?

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:20pm efd:

Games at 9:30

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:22pm G:

Michael's right, Steve would have been 66 today. Didn't make it past 44

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:23pm efd:

hey john! hey Michael! Yes, I am aware of that but I'm planning a set of Ohio Players songs later in memory of their frontman, which -- according to my personal format -- probably means no Steve Marriott trib. At least not tonight.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:23pm efd:

maybe I can sneak one song in. :)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:23pm Loretta:

well allright!!!! Teenage Lust & the Lustettes. thanks Evan.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:24pm Holly in NC:

if we're having pop rocks I'm gonna break out the wacky packages. Hi Evan & friends!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:25pm Stevel:

In before the first set ends. Looking forward to the live set. Good evening all.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:26pm G:

Ohio Players. I had to special order the Pain Parts I and II 45 when I was in England in very early 72. They probably only pressed a few hundred of them over there, it wasn't exactly anywhere near the UK charts!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:26pm efd:

You're welcome Loretta! Couldn't get to it last week, glad you're here to catch it tonight!

Hi Holly, hi SteveL!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:31pm Barkevious Shabazz:

Teen Lust sounds like Under My Wheels. A high compliment.

Wed. 1/30/13 9:32pm og:

Hey Evan , we're off to see ESG 's "last show ever" tonight . Heard them alot back in 80 - 81 on NYU.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:32pm G:

that avatar is barkevious alright! :)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:33pm steve:

og - where is that?? i went to what was supposedly the last ever nyc show a couple months ago!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:34pm steve:

they were soo amazing live, if it even needs to be said

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:35pm Barkevious Shabazz:

@G one of my selfies. Not easy.

Wed. 1/30/13 9:35pm og:

that was posponed to tonight . it's at bowery electric . they go on around 10. soon . got a plus 1 if you need it. leaving my house in 5 min,

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:36pm G:

hahaha, B.S. (in every sense of B.S. :) )

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:37pm steve:

thats odd... i thought the show at Poisson Rouge last fall was supposed to be their last nyc show ever. they said it like 5 times on stage. oh well... thanks for offering! i cant make it but youre in for a great time !!!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:39pm Promoter:

"last show ever" -- gets 'em every time

Wed. 1/30/13 9:41pm og:

i don't care for promoters much .

Wed. 1/30/13 9:41pm Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--did you see the Alex Patsavas quote about the "prequel" to Sex and the City (she's the music supervisor)--she said she researched a lot of college radio station playlists from the early 1980's in New York---sounds like you should send her some airchecks (I doubt she'll be playing any noise the show however)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:41pm Loretta:

hey barkevious, thanks for the compliment! we all were really into 'the coop' back then & I for one still am...just bought Killer, again!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:42pm Promoter:

"last show ever" -- moves merch like NOTHING ELSE

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:42pm steve:

he exactly. seriously though i hope they realize how much money they could be making and just do a big tour every year. if they were on coachella or something the kids today will eat them up.

Wed. 1/30/13 9:43pm og:

Renee Scroggins drives an MTA bus . it's real for the girls from the south bx.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:46pm G:

@og: in case people don't know --

"On May 9, 2007, ESG drummer Valerie Scroggins was indicted by a Brooklyn grand jury on charges of falsely claiming more than $13,000 in workers' compensation payments. Scroggins, then working as a bus driver for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York), told them that she suffered a shoulder injury in September 2006. In November 2006, Scroggins went on tour with ESG, where an MTA investigator filmed her playing "drums for an hour or more and on every song the band played, doing things very similar to actions she told her employers she could not perform," according to the Brooklyn DA's press release. Scroggins asserts that her injury is legitimate and that she could not safely drive a bus."

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:47pm efd:

hey og! If I remember correctly there was some scandal involving Renee after ESG played the WFMU show at Southpaw 5-6 years ago. It was in the Post and everything.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:47pm Danne D:

Hey Funk Fans :)
Hey EFD :)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:47pm efd:

oh. Never mind. Thanks G!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:47pm G:

Games are sounding pretty damn live. Another Mike Sin performance capture.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:48pm efd:

@Michael, I didn't hear about that! Not sure if there are (m)any old WNYU playlists out there, but maybe she'd be interested in my more recent "Mayhem..." WFMU marathon premiums that have stuff I played back then.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:51pm Barkevious Shabazz:

@loretta Killer is one of my all time faves. Start to finish.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:52pm steve:

G - i was listening to them alot at the time but never heard about that! id heard one of them was a bus driver in the Bronx but thats about it.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:52pm amEdeo:

This is nuts, EFD!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:54pm efd:

@amEdeo, yes it is! These guys are so good.

Wed. 1/30/13 9:56pm Marmalade Kitty:

Happy birthday Steve marriott! Hola EFD!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:58pm efd:

Hi Marmalade Kitty! Thanks for checking in!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 9:58pm Stevel:

Games are great, production super clear. Mike Sin: The BEST sin.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:01pm G:

Sinful sound!!!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:02pm Danne D:

EFD needs a Terre T "YEAHH" sound bound for when his live bands finish their songs :)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:06pm Julie:

make friends and influence people!

Wed. 1/30/13 10:12pm Marmalade Kitty:

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:13pm G:

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:14pm Danne D:

Yay Julie :) Nice Avatar :)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:15pm Julie:

thanks Danne & MK :)

Wed. 1/30/13 10:19pm john:

Hmm, I may need one of these user account things. Awfully 21st century and myspacey and stuff....

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:22pm efd:

@john joiiiin ussssssssss!

@G, I didn't notice that lyric but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.

Wed. 1/30/13 10:23pm Myspace:

I am condemned to walk the net for seven years, witnessing all the good that I might have done but failed to do. I am dead, woe woe woe!!! Save yourself before it is too late!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:23pm Loretta:

@john, got my user acct but I can't get my pic to upload.....help!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:23pm G:

That gravy drop was pretty racy, I'm thinkin.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:25pm G:

You just need to know where the pic is on your desktop, the pic that you want to upload, so you can get to it and click it into the upload box...

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:27pm G:

I didn't know till his death was mentioned on the list and I looked it up a little while ago, but Steve died in his 16th century house, likely owing to careless use of smoking materials...

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:27pm Loretta:

@G, thanks, I'll try.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:27pm Julie:

You make me wanna hear Roxy Roller

Wed. 1/30/13 10:32pm Joey Votto:

Yo!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:34pm steve:

that Giuda song was really awesome. i will check them out.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:36pm efd:

what's up Joey Votto?

@Julie, I *always* want to hear Roxy Roller!

Wed. 1/30/13 10:37pm john:

Problem is someone already took my name. Funny, it's so uncommon...

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:38pm G:

@steve: i've been wondering for two weeks. is that a double-eared cat, or a photoshop?

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:39pm G:

"Is it live, or is it Photo-Ex?"

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:40pm steve:

G - he's real. youtu.be...

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:41pm G:

now i can sleep at night, tx lol

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:44pm steve:

i do sleep easier knowing there's a four eared cat out there

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:47pm Michael K.:

wow , it's not butter , it's parquet

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:48pm G:

I believe I heard Mr. K. on the best show, last night

Wed. 1/30/13 10:49pm TG:

On a Mac, type option+S ßßßßßßßßß

Wed. 1/30/13 10:53pm TG:

(an "Eszett")

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:55pm G:

Eszett (pronounced "est zett")

it's just two tall s's run together in writing, back in the old quill pen days

back about 20 years or so ago, the german language academy voted to change back to ss instead gradually, to modernize the spelling...

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:56pm efd:

thanks TG and G! I don't have a Mac but I can highlight and paste.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 10:59pm G:

I didn't know the O.P.'s till early 72, interesting to hear this *really* early track

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:01pm G:

skin tight brick house.

Wed. 1/30/13 11:01pm daveB from Oakland:

sugarfoot!!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:02pm Parq:

Wal, wal, wal. Whatever that means.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:05pm steve:

yay

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:06pm Barkevious Shabazz:

High. High.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:06pm Parq:

Isn't "Love Roller Coaster" the one that has a scream that, urban legend has it, was produced by actually murdering a girl in the studio?

Wed. 1/30/13 11:06pm daveB from Oakland:

#1 all-time hit single

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:07pm G:

puttin' the funky in this here EFD epicsode

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:07pm Parq:

Hah. Yes indeed.

www.snopes.com...

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:08pm G:

see also the song;s wiki entry:

"The song has a persistent urban legend. During an instrumental portion of the song, a high-pitched scream is heard (between 1:24 and 1:28 on the single version, or between 2:32 and 2:36 on the album version); this was Billy Beck, but according to the most common legend, it was the voice of an individual being murdered live while the tape was rolling. The "victim's" identity varies greatly depending on the version..."

Wed. 1/30/13 11:11pm daveB from Oakland:

i initially became aware of the Ohio Players via a white-boy garage funk band called Royal Crescent Mob. The singer from Royal C mob had mowed Sugarfoot's lawn when he was a kid. Or mAybe it was another member of the OPs. But that's how i remember the story.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:11pm Barkevious Shabazz:

The victim was Andrea True.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:13pm steve:

wow, great moments of the 90s

Wed. 1/30/13 11:14pm daveB from Oakland:

the Spacehog dude was marrie 2 Liv Tyler. Maybe he still is?

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:16pm G:

@daveB: "In 1998, Tyler began dating British musician Royston Langdon of the band Spacehog. She and Langdon... married in Barbados on March 25, 2003. On December 14, 2004, she gave birth to a son, Milo William Langdon. On May 8, 2008, the couple confirmed through representatives that they would be separating but remain friends."

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:17pm Faye:

WOO EVAN I don't have to wake up tomorrow so I got to listen to your show for the first time in like a year without panicking

Wed. 1/30/13 11:21pm Ignore Function:

I'm gonna see YLT next week!

Wed. 1/30/13 11:22pm Holly in NC:

New YLT video features Merge/Superchunk Mac as Ira Kaplan, plus good looking recipes for tortilla soup & Spanish tortilla (potato omelet). Yes.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:22pm Danne D:

Regard OhPlayers to be fair I'm sure they did multiple takes so it's probably tough to tell which exact murder made it into the final mix.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:23pm efd:

FAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYE!! Glad you can listen in non-panic mode!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:23pm Stevel:

Hey Faye. Who's sitting in for you tomorrow?

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:24pm G:

@Holly: Sounds like YLT are cooking with gas

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:25pm Faye:

EFDeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Hi Stevel, it's Martha!

Wed. 1/30/13 11:25pm Marmalade Kitty:

@The ghost of Myspace! Anyone given a warning must listen to it...thanks!

Wed. 1/30/13 11:26pm Myspace:

Even Scrooge listened. Eventually!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:30pm Parq:

Danne, exactly. "Next! Come on, girls, we don't have all day,"

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:31pm G:

That was the same time, mid 70s, when the snuff film legends were running around. I recall it well.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:31pm efd:

I would just like to say that I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE THAT UK MUSIC LEGEND JOHN CARTER IS GOING TO BE MY GUEST NEXT WEEK!!!1!! ZOMG!!!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:32pm efd:

We are going to talk about "Sound Of Summer" by Starbreaker for three goddamn hours.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:34pm steve:

whoa, please pencil in a minute for Is It True by Brenda Lee!

Wed. 1/30/13 11:35pm john:

Whoa? John Carter, really? And will he have Tony Burrows to read the answers to your quesitons?

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:36pm efd:

@steve, duly noted!

@john, YES REALLY! And I should totally ask him that when we start the interview.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:36pm efd:

I should mention that he won't be here in person; I'm doing a phoner over the weekend.

Wed. 1/30/13 11:38pm john:

Either way, show of the year!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:38pm 12539:

Did someone say "Sound of Summer?" That's enough to conjure me out of lurking.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:43pm Barkevious Shabazz:

I luv da broads.

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:45pm Stevel:

'Song titles announced on the Evan Funk Davies show do not necessarily represent the views of the host, who is a very nice person and would NEVER speak ill of groups of people... Women. Waddya gonna do? Am I right? ...is this thing on?'

Wed. 1/30/13 11:47pm john:

Pretty sure it was in fact Can't Explain.

Wed. 1/30/13 11:52pm Adam in Lynnwood and Portland:

A right cracking show tonight, Mr. Davies! I excitedly anticipate next week's!

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:54pm efd:

Thanks Adam!

@john, you're correct - I just checked the upcoming blurb that I wrote myself. :)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:55pm Danne D:

So john, maybe you do an amEdeo type spelling of your WFMU friends name - like jOhn or something? :)

♥ Wed. 1/30/13 11:59pm Danne D:

Have a good night Funk Friends :)

Take care Evan :) Thanks for your usual excellence!

Thu. 1/31/13 12:00am john:

An unimpeachable source! Rad show, but I'm certainly looking forward to the next one!
