hey everyone, thanks for tuning in! I arrived at the station at 8:50 thanks to some massive NJ Transit bullpucky, so it's going to be an... interesting show. But still good listening, I hope!

@Joe D. that was 6 minutes of ass, to be exact.

McG, feel free to post a little blurb about tomorrow night. It's certainly not anything that I would even remotely be making money from so there's no conflict of interest that I can see.

Mike East:

Yes! Yes! This Rocks!...No! No! Don't Stop a Rockin! Good Evening all.
  9:33pm
Holly in NC:

Hi everyone! Glad you made it, Evan - your tweets had me worried! Have to go buy some essentials (cat litter, cat food, toilet paper, toothpaste, cabbage & wine, not as pathetic as sounds) - back around 10:15. ish.

For those of you who are fans of Evan "Funk" Davies, @efd will be checking into McG's Backroom Thurs 9pm EST. http://bit.ly/MP3WNl
You can listen live or catch on-demand replay/free download after show airs. We'll be doing what all normal people do: Hanging out, listening to weird music, talking records, baseball and what it's like being a WFMU DJ.
  9:39pm

efd, never heard the words detroit and vacation used together before.

  9:48pm
Thierry:

Hi Evan! So great, Adam!
  9:51pm

Kat, I was just kidding. I kinda like Detroit. I went to school in Windsor, Ontario for 3 years (not exactly Paris or London if you know what I mean) went to Detroit a lot and really go to like it (once I found my way around).
  9:51pm
McG:

Sounds good Mike. Double shot of @efd !

evan & danne i thought you'd be interested that i turn 31 early next month..
  10:10pm
Ike:

I'm still mystified as to how NJ Transit is the most direct route to Jersey City from any Penn Station with low ceilings. But, other than that, I dig!

hello efd and everyone, glad to be listening.

@Hi Destroit, nice to see you! I had a great time in your city a couple of weeks ago!
  10:13pm
Danne D:

Have a happy birthday next month, cheri.

Hey Destroit!

Btw, my Fantasy Baseball Team has completely collapsed :(

@Danne, as long as your team is in front of mine you're not allowed to complain. The Commissioner has spoken.

Hi Julie! Nice to see you here, even if you're just passing through before getting here here.
  10:19pm
Ike:

Ah @efd, then you have multiple potential excuses. You can always claim there was train traffic *and* car traffic.

Not a bad live version, but I still prefer Weird Al's "My Bologna."
  10:20pm
common:

fuckin thank you evan just bought get the knack foe a buck 3 weeks ago and listened to this 10 times thanks for the live
  10:20pm
Droll:

I never heard The Knack live before. This is so good, it's almost Cheap Trick good. Come to think of it, the only thing better than this might be Cheap Trick covering it live circa '79.
  10:20pm
miss cheri:

evan could you please do me a small favor and play the abba tune "dancing queen" cause i feel like a dancing queen these days,, ty evan!!

Hello Danne. Glad you had a good time efd. Were you here for the electronic music festival, or something else?

Chop Scott:

Thanks again---that meant a lot personally to me---Cheers!
  10:36pm
Lemme Guess:

plenty tunes for dancing queens on the july 4th disco show
  10:39pm
Droll:

EFD, Exactly! Cheap Trick always struggled with being over-produced. The Man always wanted them to be more accessible (even brought in George Martin to help make a mediocre record). I had no idea, but am not surprised to hear, The Knack also struggled in the same way.
  10:39pm
steve:

im excited for the disco show
  10:40pm
Holly in NC:

Back!
@Barkevious - My personal Magazine pick =.Permafrost, but it's a wee bit too dark for many people. Very dark, actually. And nsfw or airplay.

Hello Cheri!
@Droll, I am always surprised at how darn GREAT 1st Cheap Trick lp is, and sad I came to it way late in life

Writing Team:

We need to come up with some fresh material for cheri, pronto.
  10:54pm
Destroit:

Hello Kat. Did you happen to go to 1515 broadway?
  10:55pm
PB:

We need to rescind Cheri's posting privileges.
  10:57pm
G:

If only Plastic Bertrand could reform, book the Poisson Rouge, and you could announce the show during a mic break :-) :-)
  10:57pm
Droll:

WT & PB, Amen. It's been over four years of ,,,,, and requests. It played itself out after 4 posts.
  10:58pm
Kat:

Destroit: nope. Had No Way Back on the to-do list but friends were playing the Droid party at the Works and I never got over to 1515 Broadway.
  11:00pm
Danne D:

It is kinda closing in on that "clicker" guy calling Chris T's show every week when he was on Fridays. I think even the Bob's Mediacology calls didn't last as long.
  11:01pm
Danne D:

I still think you need to do an ELP Brain Salad Surgery mashup of some sort for this segment :)
  11:01pm
G:

Am I allowed to make the chicken salad sandwich while reclining luxuriously in a bubble bath?
  11:02pm
Destroit:

Kat, too many afterparty options that night.
  11:02pm
Danne D:

@G only if you first put your camel to bed.
  11:03pm
Droll:

G, WFMU can sell the Midnight Ticket Oasis and build a hotel on it, but WFMU can never sell Le Poisson Rouge.
  11:03pm
Danne D:

On the one hand, the Feelies would probably be a cool show to see on my birthday. On the other hand, I really was not big into them back in the day (or even, to guiltily be honest, into them so much now) so I think it's more fair to allow someone else the honor.

There will be a NASCAR race in Kentucky for me to watch that night for my birthday :)
  11:04pm
Danne D:

Surprised nobody picked a french name for the ticket give-away segment to get evan to say more french stuff :)
  11:05pm
Danne D:

My team is only 2.5 points away from me being able to whine about it with impunity, btw.
  11:07pm
PB:

I thought the recent Feelies "comeback" album was kind of disappointing in the sense that they sounded pretty much exactly the same as on their last record made some 20 years earlier. Having said that, I really liked them when they first hit the scene back in the early 80s.
  11:07pm
Droll:

DD, We should pool our money next year and pick a French tongue twister for Evan to say every week.
  11:07pm
miss cheri:

evan & danne i got to go now. danne have a happy birthday! g'night efd & danne
  11:09pm
Heather:

ack, i'm gonna have to stream the archive - you played the baseball project 7". gotta hear that. evan, do you have any don agrati on you? "homegrown" is a pretty great album, and i just read that he passed away :(
  11:09pm
Ike:

I don't remember the clicker guy or Bob's Mediacology, but that's my terrible memory for you.
  11:09pm
Kat:

Oooh, EFD disco party next week. Hope I can hear it over the noise of the ad hoc fireworks displays in my neighborhood.
  11:09pm
Danne D:

Thanks for the birthday wishes cheri, good night!
  11:10pm
Danne D:

@Ike - it was during the time that the Church of The Subgenius stuff was on FMU. I mean this is like gotta be late-90s.
  11:10pm
SteveL:

Difficult to believe that I would say that, yes, I am looking forward to another summer disco dance party. Please do not tell my teenaged self.
  11:11pm
Danne D:

The clicker did it for a long time. Though that schtick wasn't as thorough as some other ones.

This is like Kenny G level of proficiency at this juncture.
  11:11pm
Danne D:

No schtick from me - I just post a ridiculous number of comments.

@SteveL - I know, right? I've been catching up on *so* much great left field that my parochial (pre)teenage self didn't have easy access to, and have become annoyingly nostalgic for the top 40 stuff.

I grew up in Chicago and was not old enough to attend, but clearly remember the fallout from Disco Demolition Day at the Wrigley Field double-header.
  11:20pm

  11:20pm
Holly in NC:

efd's song of the year so far, I think.. go Pujol! ;-)
  11:21pm

I think this pujol song should've been played after "El Hombre" #backseatdjing

ha, deal efd. my suburban new jersey vfw hall hardcore matinee attending self never could have seen the disco obsession coming years later...
  11:21pm

I have a DJ/producer friend here in Chicago who includes the phrase "Avenger of the Events at Comiskey Park" in her Twitter bio

I wonder if Julie will playing something birthday-related for me tonight. If only there were a band with a name that was appropriate for such occasions :) Then I'd request them :)
  11:27pm
Holly in NC:

Did y'all hear that only marijuana was found in the FL "face eater's" system ? If media & GOP spins as I suspect they will, may set decriminalization laws back about, oh, a century

Dumb question (that medical science probably already answers) they'd be able to detect if that marijuana was laced with something else I suppose, right?

Laced with eyelid.

Wasn't tobacco detected on egyptian mummies?

The French corner is now awaiting the Stereo Total back announce
  11:37pm
Holly in NC:

2 labs said only THC detected, but cya "can't keep up with the gazillion synthetics being manufactured every day"(paraphrasing). No chemicals typically found in known 'bath salt' preparations detected. Already some govt idiot has posited that sativa (vs indica) could totally make people ..crazy....
  11:39pm
Thierry:

synthetique=fake, oddly in french
  11:40pm
G:

like "artificial"

@Holly, thanks! I actually went on iTunes and bought that song WHILE THE dB'S SONG WAS PLAYING so that I could make that segue. Glad it was appreciated despite the couple of seconds of dead air.
