Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

![]() ...could I be the only one thinking ? - what a couple of totally absurd - but really great!! - tracks... |
![]() |
![]() Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in! I have to confess that I inadvertently cued up the wrong Trevor Rabin track! Maybe I'll play the one I meant to play later on, we'll see. |

Sorry guys, Scott B. has morphed into LovecraftDude....it had to happen | |
![]() |
![]() hiya cheri, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the elections that just finished up |
![]() |
![]() - yeah - good example of dancey & electronic not being boring...that's supposed to be a compliment ...Lovecraft was awesome ! ...They say in the Elections urban people went for practical & the Tea Party suffered. Didn't pay enuff attention to the News... |

I'm one of the biggest HPL nuts ever, got into that whole scene in the early 80s as a young schoolboy, hooked up with Bob price of Crypt of Cthulhu mag. and stuff...rest is horror history. Also a massive book collector of course. | |

Before the vocals kicked in on this Free Fall song, I thought it was some long lost Who song. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:26pm
LovecraftDude888:
I think The Dickies were playing on LI tonight but I couldn't be there various reasons, alas. Why LI, I dunno. I haven't seen them since mid 1990s. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:29pm
LovecraftDude888:
Evan, I saw YES on the 90125 tour at Nassau freakin Coliseum, what was that 1984? Damned good show. With Trevor Rabin and such. Does anybody recall the fuss over the price of that album when it came out? People balked at the premium price for it. I bough the tape. | |
![]() |
![]() Yes PJ - I have suspected they have heard of TheWh♂ @ some point ! - which always gets *my* attention; I wonder what they're like live... |
![]() |
![]() Yo peeps! |
![]() |
![]() Evan "Prog" Davies kicking off the show with a member of Yes. |
![]() |
![]() Elwyn :) |
![]() |
![]() Cass Elliot cover? Aw hell naw! John Hartford cover! |
![]() |
![]() He wasn't a member of Yes when he recorded that LPs so it doesn't count! :D LovecraftDude, I do remember that - wasn't it the first 8.98 list or something? |
![]() |
![]() That aside, good evening Funkman and Rabble. |
![]() |
![]() Hey Evan. Remember to play Doug Tuttle. |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:35pm
LovecraftDude888:
yeah yeah! A big fuss in the press for some reason. I just grinned and bore it and bought my stupid cassette copy out at Bergen or Paramus Park Mall or whatever it was that particular weekend. | |
![]() |
![]() @efd: adam warrock link not linking...extra r I think |
![]() |
![]() @Danne D! How are you? I've been trying to do too much by exercising lots and staying up late playing Grand Theft Auto! |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:42pm
joe:
'Ello folks | |
![]() |
![]() Adam Warrock's got James Urbaniak on his new record - cool! |
![]() |
![]() Yo joe! |
![]() |
![]() Hey, Evan, sorry if my Hartford boosterism came across as rude -- not intended as a put-down. |
![]() |
![]() haha, no worries pss - I may have slightly exaggerated your reaction for possible comedic effect. I appreciate you pointing that out. Mike East, fixed the link - thanks for the heads up. |
![]() |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:46pm
tomB:
Thought you meant HPL, the band. As for the original, just read The Mountains of Madness in Oates' collection. the intense and compelling mood makes me overlook the weak points--maybe that's what HPL the band was after. |
![]() |
![]() Gentlemen...Ladies... |
![]() |
![]() Damn...I missed the earthquake. |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:49pm
sweet cheri:
evan, let me tell you wednesdays and sunday nights are the best nights of the week,cause of you, monica & dave mandl!!! | |
![]() |
![]() My sleeping bag is rolled up and stashed behind Cass Elliot's couch. |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:50pm
LovecraftDude888:
I confess I still don't know HPL the band as well as I should, need to go rectify that and soon! Thanks for reminding me! I have the Oates' collection indeed. However, I recommend S.T. Joshi's Penguin annotated Lovecrafts much more for various reasons. I re-read ATMOM last year and it had been a while, still a thrilling novella. Some of HPL doesn't hold up for me any longer but that did. Too bad they killed the movie. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:51pm
LovecraftDude888:
Was gonna say I recall YES doing Tempus Fugit live...that was cool. | |
![]() |
![]() HPL was quite a fine Chicago psychedelic band. Trademark, dual lead vocals... |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:56pm
LovecraftDude888:
Right, have heard some of their stuff. Need to go get those CDs for sure. I always wondered if The Fixx Shuttered Room was sort of named after that horrible Derleth story one of his "Lovecraft" tales that was not HPL! Awful. But good Fixx album. | |
![]() |
![]() I recently picked up a Dave Edmunds record at a bookstore in Montclair for about 3 bucks....cuz I heard him on this program :) |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:58pm
LovecraftDude888:
Montclair Book Center? I have a Yelp review of it...er, was a better shop in Passaic and then 1990s Montclair...but it's cool. I was there two yrs. ago again. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 9:58pm
LovecraftDude888:
actually dammit, reminding me I need to go buy that old Rhino Dave Edmunds box set!! Rats.... | |
![]() |
![]() efd, I'm doing a fill-in on Tuesday for Jesse Kaminsky and it's a bit of a special and you're partly to blame for it. You went an posted that Jeff Wayne thing on FB. |

tomB:
Have you all ever heard Dave Edmunds brother? Seriously, he has at least one LP. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:00pm
Adam:
For years now, I turn my radio on once or twice at night during the week, and it seems I somehow manage to always do it and hear the Evan funk Davies theme music starting up. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:01pm
Adam:
It's mystical | |
![]() |
![]() I think so, Lovecraft dude. Its on Glenridge off Bloomfield. They ok the first few times you scour the place, but its not like they get anything new in. Picked up some Hoodoo Gurus there, cheap. I usually go there when I visit a friend that lives right down the street. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:05pm
LovecraftDude888:
I hadn't been there in ages until two years back. I used to go to Passaic Book Center the predecessor to Montclair, THAT was like, one of the greatest bookstores ever. Was right down the street from my dad's old apt. at that point. I mentioned that to The Smithereens a while ago and Dennis Diken recalled the Passaic one fondly!! | |

Greetings from the Frozen Tundra of northeastern Wisconsin. Nice to hear our local boy, Rev. Norb, while I just happened to be "tuned in" tonight. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:13pm
sweet cheri:
like i said earlier evan i always lok forward to wednesdays & sunday nights.. | |
![]() |
![]() I downloaded the new Android app onto my daughter's phone. The old app would go into buffering mode pretty often. We'll see if the new version works better. That was for live streaming. It would play archives without any problems. |
![]() |
![]() Hi Ken, hopefully the new one will solve that buffering problem - thanks for checking it out! Thanks for the kind words, Cheri. JT, I love coincidences like that! Thanks to one and all (including you lurkers!) for listening tonight! |
![]() |
![]() UM, sounds like a delayed Halloween party to me! |

Who are you calling a lurker? | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:22pm

![]() |
![]() I recognize this song. |
![]() |
![]() Back! Doug Tuttle track is great. Anxiously awaiting new Gap Dream lp. EFD, just downloaded the beyond stellar Gap Dream live set from the FMA, many thanks to you, the band, WFMU, FMA, anyone else responsible. |
![]() |
![]() Evan, I'm putting together a rock opera/concept album thing and Jeff Wayne will be represented. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:23pm
sweet cheri:
evan if you feel like it, want to talk about nick gilder? | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:24pm
LovecraftDude888:
man, I somehow got email from the guy from The Monroes the keyboard guy last month..so surreal. All the people tell me so...etc. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:24pm
LovecraftDude888:
Man, can we hear some Dwight Twilley? Somebody to Love....he's my personal neo-70s to 80s almost-hitmaker pop sensation. | |
![]() |
![]() He made a hit! |
![]() |
![]() I LOVE The Big Believe, sonically so very Game Theoryish. efd, when will the 7'' be available? |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:29pm
LovecraftDude888:
Barely. "Girls" that song kinda sucked. I'm on Fire was good though but that was 70s Dwight. Anyway....RIP Faye Hunter, that shit sucked. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:30pm
LovecraftDude888:
I see Sara Romweber and Dex are putting out albums and touring, I wanna see them! | |
![]() |
![]() I was thinking of "I'm On Fire" as his hit. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:33pm
patro:
I saw Fools Face play at my university in 1980. They played 'Time Warp' from Rocky Horror Picture Show. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:33pm
david from ks:
,,,Bollock Brother`s track "The Bunker",, lyrics of the past and hopefully not the future. Words to ponder when told by A.Hitlers secretary the late Gertaude Traudle Junge`s filmed interview. | |
![]() |
![]() Girls...you're right about that one. I'd forgotten it. |
![]() |
![]() @patro: Where was that? |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:34pm
Trouble In Mind:
FOOLS FACE! - "Won't Make it Hard For You" is the jam! It sounds like Shoes! | |

Wed. 11/6/13 10:34pm
patro:
Tulsa University. There was a large contingent of students from Springfield. | |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, when I played the flexi I mentioned that they seemed to open every third "new wave" show in the region for a while. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:35pm
LovecraftDude888:
yeah Girls was kinda wack. Was I'm On Fire that big of a hit? I was so young then I have no clue. I didn't hear Dwight Twilley till MTV days 1983 etc. Had no idea until then and then he faded out again just as fast. wasn't DTwilley a Tulsa dude? | |
![]() |
![]() Hi trouble In Mind - psyched for Doug Tuttle! |
![]() |
![]() Not big...big enough that I bought the LP. Big enough to be on Rhino's "Have A Nice Day" collection. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:38pm
patro:
Hey Uncle Michael. I think a friend of college back then was from Springfield and his older brother produced the Fools Face first record. His last name was Clary, don't remember his first name. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:38pm
LovecraftDude888:
Ah, ok. Poor Dwight never quite hit the bigtime. having to compete with Missing persons and friggin Def Leppard on MTV. Yikes. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:38pm
Trouble In Mind:
Hey Holly! SO ARE WE | |
![]() |
![]() Dwight and Phil Seymour were both pretty photogenic. They shoulda been able to hold their own. |
![]() |
![]() I probably owned the album, patro. I may have read the album credits once! |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:43pm
sweet cheri:
so i guess you don't want to talk about nick gilder, huh evan? | |
![]() |
![]() I'd like to know what all the former members of Sweeney Todd are up to these days. |
![]() |
![]() efd, thank you for reminding me to DL Cosmonauts set from FMA also. Done! |
![]() |
![]() cheri, I thought you were the one with the Nick Gilder theory. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:48pm
LovecraftDude888:
I can't believe Loop Lounge is still open. I never even got to go there years ago. Anyone been there recently? the Passaic bar. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:49pm
LovecraftDude888:
I can see it now: The Nick Gilder/Ian Gomm/Dwight Twilley Greenwood Press critical anthology....coming soon! List price hc $400! cheap! | |
![]() |
![]() I like the version of "What Me Worry" that they did in that session better than the one on the album! |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:51pm
LovecraftDude888:
btw hearing Miriam Linna last night was keen! I have to buy her books..I had no idea she was doing pulp reprints etc!? No idea. | |
![]() |
![]() @lovecraftdude - Don't forget Donnie Iris. |
![]() |
![]() That's giving Donnie Iris a lot of credit. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:52pm
Trouble In Mind:
DUDES wait until you hear Morgan's LP... HOLY SMOKES... so great. | |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:53pm
LovecraftDude888:
Barely know Donnie Iris but Wild Cherry of course I recall. What became of the great immortals Pablo Cruise? God help us... | |
![]() |
![]() Oooh, Trouble In Mind, I am digging Morgan Delt. |
![]() |
![]() Hey, don't be dissing Donnie Iris on my playlist! |
![]() |
![]() @UM - efd does give Donnie Iris a lot of credit ;-) |
![]() |
![]() OK! |
![]() |
![]() oops, efd mounted his own Donnie defense before I could finish typing, plus I think I'm listening on delay. Sorry. |
Wed. 11/6/13 10:59pm
LovecraftDude888:
I just barely know his stuff. Wild Cherry they had some huge hits I believe. I tell anybody I know to this day about the band Winter Hours, almost nobody knows who they are. | |
![]() |
![]() @Lovecraftdude - a lot of people here know Winter Hous, you are in the right place. Hyacinth Girl a classic, so good. |
![]() |
![]() I'm over my Red Sox good will since Lucchino got in the way of the Cubs interviewing Luvullo. |
Wed. 11/6/13 11:02pm
LovecraftDude888:
Holly... yeah FMU thank goodness seems a bastion of Winter Hours fans and folks who know/knew them. My friend Dina did a WH web site for awhile but I think she retired doing it a while back. | |

Wed. 11/6/13 11:21pm
LovecraftDude888:
my back is killing me, better sign off soon....thanks Evan for kool show....night all! I couldn't find any ref. to Beach Girls but i swear there was some stupid TV show like that around 71 to 72 maybe. I think it was shortlived. Ia Cthulhu! | |
