	♥ 12:01pm Erin in TO: Hey efd, how was the Mouth Congress show?
	♥ 12:01pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Nice Pop Roxx this morning, efd! I really needed the reassurance that I'm not the only one still quoting the Alice Cooper scene in Wayne's World!
	♥ 12:02pm Erin in TO: @Handy Wayne's World was a key movie in my youth, you're not alone in quoting it
	♥ 12:03pm Handy Haversack: I feel seen, Erin. Thank you!
	♥ 12:04pm Erin in TO: @Handy Party on
	♥ 12:04pm Artie: Best appropriate band name award goes to ...
	12:05pm rx scabin: Hello, efd and others.
	12:07pm Stevel: Good Wednesday to all!
	♥ 12:08pm efd: Good afternoon, everyone! Thanks for tuning in... live Bush Tetras set coming up at 1pm (EDT) (Evan Davies Time)!
	♥ 12:09pm efd: @Handy glad you appreciated that!
	♥ 12:10pm efd: @Erin it was great! (Despite the absence of "The People Have Spoken" Check my Instagram for pics & videos, I think you can see them even if you're not an Insta user.
	♥ 12:10pm efd: @Figgsrock now that is a reach!
	♥ 12:12pm Erin in TO: @efd wow I'm surprised they left that one out :( Glad you had fun at it though, I really loved the show they did here
	12:12pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Anybody see the new Kids in the Hall on Amazon Prime? Its pretty out there and lots of male full frontal nudity. And other stuff. Just got done with the post apocalyptic DJ spinning the one record he has as his generator runs out of fuel. They are ahead of their time, true comic punks not afraid to laugh at themselves. Wow. Hope they get renewed. The male strippers sketch of 60 somethings was pretty funny and out there. It went embarrassingly long. They are NOT afraid to stick to a joke until the very end.
	♥ 12:13pm efd: @Erin they had 4 or 5 new songs they'd written especially for that show so I guess something had to give.
	♥ 12:14pm efd: @Wild Neil I LOVE the new KITH episodes. The documentary Comedy Punks, also on Amazon Prime, is also wonderful.
	♥ 12:14pm dale: 90.1 was silent for about five minutes - just came back.
	♥ 12:15pm Andrew Waterloo: There is also a nice shot of Dallas Goode playing bass for Shadowy Men in the intro
	♥ 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Actually, I have to run! Meeting listener yerfriendpaul for lunch! Back before the end, I hope. Party on, Erin. Party on, efd. Party on, all!
	♥ 12:17pm Erin in TO: @efd checked out the pics/vids you posted, looks like you got a very different show. We didn't have the screen in the back, and no costume changes for us!
	12:18pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: I had to leave work early with some stomach troubles so I’m listening to EFD while I eat a banana in bed before I pass out. Glad to see everybody here and to be able to listen and distract myself from my body and the world. Long live the banana! But not the cruelty that often brings it to our grocery stores, farmers markets, fresh fruit dealers. 🍌
	♥ 12:19pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD and everybody! Looking forward to the Bush Tetras set, and looking forward to seeing them in person next week at Elsewhere!
	♥ 12:20pm tim from washington: Man, this Igloos is cool! Hi efd! Hi everyone! I am really really very really looking forward to the Bush Tetras set.
	♥ 12:20pm Hughie Considine: The second Teardrop Explodes record didn't get a lot of love, but to me this one is top tier.
	♥ 12:20pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Unfortunately may have to miss the Bush Tetras -- have a two hour Zoom thingy coming up--but wanted to stop in and say Hi.
	12:22pm Andres: Good aft, efd and all! Live set? Alright!
	12:22pm BillfromRockTavern: Had to purchase Curtis Godino presents The Midnight Wishers after hearing it last week's EFD show. Always broke out all my B Movie 12' in singles yesterday.
	♥ 12:22pm YETI BOB: Julian!
	♥ 12:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: YES to The Four Horsemen Been getting a lot of play across shows and I am here for it!
	♥ 12:23pm Krys O.: Yes!
	12:23pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Hi all! Also excited about the bush tetras. You know I used to sniff carbon tetra chloride so I’m like an original fan
	♥ 12:24pm Artie: Keeping an aquarium is certainly a delight.
	♥ 12:24pm JG: Vangelis , right?
	♥ 12:25pm efd: there is no small amount of air drumming going on in Studio A right now
	♥ 12:25pm efd: in fact I typed that with my nose
	12:26pm UFOspecialist: Do you have any albums by that Evan "Funk" Davies???
	♥ 12:27pm tim from washington: Now that's multi-tasking, efd!
	♥ 12:29pm slugluv1313: greetings, EFD! Funksters! getting ready to head out, so been lurking -- this Aphrodite's Child is so "grounding" -- THANK YOU!!! 😺😺
	12:31pm clarke: howdy Funksters!! late in and early out, today. have yet another luncheon thang.
	♥ 12:32pm tim from washington: Well, efd, it sounds like you might have to Karen Carpenter it.
	♥ 12:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Michele can sing it!
	12:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Had to learn fluid mechanics this year. From the internet. My textbook was LACKING and it was a GOOD ONE. I tell ya, a university education is merely a licence to learn like they said at China Lake. My book didn't even have the well-known and tested empirical Darcy-Weisbach equation, a must if you are going to design a piping system! My equations satisfied a very picky professional engineer client we have. So I guess I am an ok engineer after all that!
	12:33pm BillfromRockTavern: I remember Pat Place worked in The Bleeker St. Cinema and signed me up for membership!
	♥ 12:33pm HyperDose: Right behind ya, Slug. Post op appt numero 3. Killin' it, efd!
	12:34pm clarke: 1980 period.
	12:35pm Androu B.: Good Afternoon, efd & Funk Fans! Listening now on VLC awaiting The Bush Tetras to take the air, which I'll be taking the opportunity to record.
	12:36pm Listener John from NJ: In the early/mid 1970s i used to see the advertisement for Aphrodite's Child's album "666" on the insert in LPs from their company. It was where I learned that 666 has some scary significance to some. I was REALLY suprised to hear them on yhe radio, on wfmu.
	♥ 12:37pm tim from washington: Most Blurt I've seen in the wild seems to be still affordable.
	♥ 12:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I just told a friend who's a huge Pulp fan that I prefer the Joe Jackson/Shatner version of "Common People. He is not happy.
	♥ 12:41pm Erin in TO: @WoodsOfNH I also prefer the Shatner version, so you're not alone in that
	12:41pm clarke: i think i realize what always held me back about Microdisney -- but, it seems less so on this listening: vocals (as is my usual peeve).
	♥ 12:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Erin in TO: I kind of think it was the first version I heard. Not really a big Pulp fan anyway (which he is also not happy with...ha!)
	♥ 12:43pm efd: @clarke I was discussing that very thing with a fellow WFMU DJ who gave me some Microdisney starting points.
	♥ 12:44pm efd: He kind of has a Tony Hadley thing going on, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
	♥ 12:44pm Erin in TO: @WoodsOfNH I'd heard the other, I just think the Shatner version better catches the anger of poverty...the Pulp one just feels a bit too apathetic about it to me
	12:44pm clarke: sometimes, i have a real problem with the "way" someone is singing. if it is too "guided" or affected.
	♥ 12:45pm Mona: loving the tunes evan!!
	12:45pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks efd for Fatima Mansions!!!
	12:45pm Stevel: And lo, this song is joyfully playing, as predicted by efd. Amen
	12:45pm clarke: ...or, if the singer (or drummer) is trying to show you EVERYthing they can do.
	12:46pm Tinley Park Randy: I remember this one on 120 minutes in 1991.
	12:47pm clarke: (and of course, there are exceptions to every one of my "rules", for i am a fickled mf'r).
	♥ 12:47pm efd: Mona! Thank you!
	♥ 12:47pm Thin Slice: Cathal Murray had a nice Cathal Coughlan tribute on his RTE 1 show Late Date on Monday. A mix of Cathal's music and some songs from a playlist that Coughlan had sent to Murray a few years ago.
	12:48pm rich the greeb: Am I crazy or does this song sound like a better U2? Maybe it’s the production.
	♥ 12:48pm tim from washington: In a bit of good news, Dave The Spazz's name was not mentioned in an article I just read about the first suspected Monkeypox case in Washington.
	12:48pm clarke: ciao!! goodbye!!
	♥ 12:49pm slugluv1313: hiya HyperDose! oh cool -- hope all goes well!!! 😺😺
	12:49pm rich the greeb: Ok U2 meets Jesus lizard?
	12:50pm clarke: actually, this is a good 'note' to exit on as i must head to the Frostop Diner posthaste. sounding great, as ALWAYS!! DJ Jive!!
	♥ 12:50pm efd: happy lunching, @clarke!
	♥ 12:50pm slugluv1313: i remember Pat Place at Bleecker Street Cinema too! such a cool place to see movies
	12:51pm clarke: thanks and Thanks!!
	♥ 12:51pm efd: @Mona this would go great with the Curve song you played on Monday!
	12:52pm DouglasInDallas: Late to the party but agree with @EFD to repeat on @Mona's followup....
	♥ 12:53pm tim from washington: @rich the greeb - according to the internets Fatima Mansions did open for U2's 1992 tour so you might have something there.
	♥ 12:55pm G: Here! Just busy workwriting. :-)
	12:55pm Will: Thanks for these songs EFD. The Microdisney LPs Everybody is Fantastic and The Clock Came Down the Stairs were right up there with early Smiths for me. Also saw Cathal play solo in Cambridge MA early '00s, very earnest and charming gent.
	12:59pm Androu B.: I once had a few of Fatima Mansion records sitting among my collection of CD's: the "Viva Dead Ponies" and "Lost In The Former West" albums, and the "The Only Solution: Another Revolution" and "Only Losers Take The Bus" EP's. Sold them all off, eventually. I also had heard of Microdisney years before I'd bought those records, but never knew Coughlan was involved with that group as well.
	1:00pm Andres: “Sweatshop Stans”? I hear that correct?
	1:00pm annie: would every damn website in the world just stop!! stop updating your stupid browsers!!
	1:02pm Miss Georgia Peach: Helloooooooo!!!
	♥ 1:06pm tim from washington: Already sounding kick ass!
	♥ 1:06pm efd: hiya Miss GP!
	1:06pm Androu B.: @annie I'm having problems with that, too. Every time I jump back on pages in the browser, I have to go through multiple versions of the same page until I get to the page I'm trying to reach.
	♥ 1:08pm Mike Sin: Quite a nice tribute to Cathal Coughlan there... Thanks for coordinating and broadcasting this "freelance" Bush Tetras live performance.
	♥ 1:08pm tim from washington: I was completely dumbfounded the first time I saw Steve Shelley play in 1998. I hadn't really thought much of his drumming. Then when I saw him live I was blown away with how dynamic his playing was and how he blended perfectly with the song.
	♥ 1:09pm efd: Thank you @Mike!
	1:14pm Ahab: A very fine set from bush tetras indeed. thanks for that!
	♥ 1:15pm slugluv1313: Bush Tetras sounding AMAZING! wish i could go to their show at Elsewhere (werk conflict ugh) and omg, Hugo is DJing at their gig too?!? (he was married to a friend of mine -- another lifetime ago)
	♥ 1:15pm efd: @Ahab Thank you for listening, captain!
	♥ 1:15pm efd: @slugluv Boo! Sorry you'll miss it!
	♥ 1:17pm tim from washington: Pat Place is melting my brain.
	♥ 1:17pm efd: she is such an amazing guitar player!
	♥ 1:17pm slugluv1313: right, EFD? thoroughly bummed
	♥ 1:18pm Roberto: Are Michael Jaworkski and Michael Jaworski related?
	♥ 1:20pm efd: uhhh....... well, um, "Jaworkski" is a stage name he uses when he's recording vs. mixing.
	♥ 1:20pm slugluv1313: iirc -- wasn't Pat Place the guitarist for Maggie Estep too? (vague memory of a gig at Maxwell's)
	♥ 1:20pm efd: (I'll fix it when the next song starts)
	♥ 1:23pm efd: @slugluv I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised!
	♥ 1:31pm efd: I see you're all stunned into silence by the awesomeness of this set!
	♥ 1:32pm Polyus: sounds really good man.
	♥ 1:32pm McGroovey: I remember Steve Shelley playing with the re-formed Raincoats. He played played live with them, and then at least of the subsequent EP... can't recall if he was the album.
	♥ 1:33pm tim from washington: These new songs are fantastic!!!!!
	1:37pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Can’t wait until they come to Kingston
	♥ 1:38pm tim from washington: I hereby declare efd as the 5th Bush Tetra.
	♥ 1:41pm efd: Ken designated me the 7th Kid In The Hall last week so I'm getting busy!
	♥ 1:42pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Who's the 6th Kid? Bellini??
	♥ 1:45pm prguitar: Thanks EFD for having Bush Tetras as your guests this afternoon! Much like my connection to WFMU, we go back a few lifetimes! Are they ever sounding super, and so strong!!! Makes this heart smile! 💙 🙏🏻
	♥ 1:48pm Handy Haversack: Back! Dang, missed the Cathal Coughlan tribute. Thanks for doing that, efd.
	♥ 1:49pm prof.fuzz: Hey EFD! Late to the chat board, but been listening in the van. Great BT's set.
	♥ 1:51pm Handy Haversack: The van lives!
	♥ 1:51pm McGroovey: @prof.fuzz I guess you'll be competing with the Bush Tetras for Brooklyn bodies on the 1st. Well, i know where I'll be.
	♥ 1:52pm tim from washington: Yep, I hear the Bush Tetras in Ganser.
	♥ 1:52pm efd: yeah, sorry about the conflicting date prof (and K8)! There's always something!
	♥ 1:53pm McGroovey: Great Bush Tetras thing. Maybe I need to see them in Kingston.
	♥ 1:53pm Handy Haversack: It's a big city, efd. Room for all the things!
	♥ 1:54pm prof.fuzz: @EFD: I read "There's always something" in the voice of Rosanne Rosanadana...
	♥ 1:55pm efd: as it was intended!
	♥ 1:55pm Handy Haversack: Mark Hurst special, this song!
	♥ 1:55pm DJ PB: This Peace de Résistance record scratches an itch I didn't even know I had.
	♥ 1:55pm efd: @Carmichael Ken actually was unsure of the number of Kids when he said that, but I absolutely count Bellini as the 6th Kid.
	♥ 1:56pm efd: It's really great! I just finally checked it out today!
	♥ 1:56pm melinda: hi efd and folks
	♥ 1:56pm efd: I had a really hard time deciding whether to play this song or "Don't 1099 Me."
	1:57pm 299: More peace de Resistance!!
	1:57pm satisfiedcustomer: Been listening to Bush Testras since 1978. :D <3
	♥ 2:03pm Jack McGuire: @Hughie Wilder is so good, and much better than the first Teardrop Explodes reckitt.
	♥ 2:07pm drr: This Metronomy reminds me a lot of a band I heard a lot after Hurricane Katrina....and I can't remember their name. They had a "hit" called "Kid Gloves".
	♥ 2:08pm ChukAmok: @drr Was it Rush?
	♥ 2:12pm drr: No, Rush's hit is called "By-Tor and The Snow Dog". Good guess though.
	♥ 2:12pm tim from washington: Yes!!!!! Social media air horn!
	♥ 2:12pm prof.fuzz: yay! social media air horn!
	♥ 2:13pm Handy Haversack: For Courtney!
	♥ 2:14pm tim from washington: In your face, Mark Hurst! EFD social media air horns single handedly redeem social media! ;)
	2:14pm Andres: Maybe the evil FB should be a sad wah-wah instead of the exuberant airhorn.
	2:15pm phat in lincoln: For Courtney!
	♥ 2:16pm prof.fuzz: speaking of philly, if you go see bush tetras on weds but still want to get fuzzed up with us, we're playing in philly next thurs and friday... ask a prof for the addresses.
	♥ 2:16pm drr: Voxtrot. Dumb name, good group.
	2:16pm BH: a robotic voice for "We Care A Lot" is probably very fitting
	♥ 2:17pm Figgsrock: Whoa--this is some kind of cover. Kind of wished their album was named Ocean tho.
	♥ 2:17pm efd: lol at "ask a prof!" Good to know!
	♥ 2:17pm efd: I love the "so many men, so little time" drum track haunting the background
	2:17pm Androu B.: Air horns are imperative in dancehalls across most of Latin America.
	2:18pm BH: "We care a lot about your feedback. Please stay on the line" - robotic voice when you call a business
	♥ 2:18pm efd: ... or maybe it's the "it's raining men" drum track, I always get those mixed up
	♥ 2:19pm prof.fuzz: "it's raining so many little men"
	2:19pm Androu B.: Still can't beat the original by Faith No More.
	♥ 2:19pm HyperDose: It's good to be back with you fine people
	♥ 2:20pm prof.fuzz: hyperD!
	2:20pm BH: Spray's version was a little more peppy compared to the more cynical FNM version
	♥ 2:20pm Figgsrock: I'm going to have to put that Spray on my Wishlist to see what else they cover over the next 7 plus months.
	♥ 2:21pm Handy Haversack: How's the system looking, HyperD?
	♥ 2:21pm efd: They do a serviceable version of "Rubberband Man" that I was almost going to play. I think Electric 6 still has that one sewn up, though.
	♥ 2:22pm efd: it's better than serviceable, I regret using that word.
	2:23pm Androu B.: Speaking of which, I still have fond memories of watching the one among many FNM shows at City Gardens I went to go see back in the day. Afaik, Mike Patton hadn't yet become a member of the band when they played that night i saw them.
	♥ 2:25pm Figgsrock: Well yeah, Electric Six are untouchable when it comes to covers. You should break one out next week EFD.
	♥ 2:26pm slugluv1313: heya HyperDose! how did everything go?
	♥ 2:26pm nathan: TIL that Spray is an offshoot of the Cuban Boys, responsible for "Cognoscenti vs Intelligentsia", aka the Hamster Dance song
	♥ 2:28pm tim from washington: Operator Music Band is a great band name.
	♥ 2:28pm K8: Hello EFD and Friends!!! I am late to the party, but so happy to be here!
	♥ 2:29pm Figgsrock: Oh, the Blondie comeback single! Haven't heard this forever.
	♥ 2:29pm tim from washington: Blondie is definitely on the top of my list of bands that I need to see before I or they die.
	♥ 2:30pm slugluv1313: omg yes -- love this Blondie 💜💜💜
	♥ 2:31pm prof.fuzz: hi K8!
	2:31pm Androu B.: Right now, I'm imagining the acapella of this Blondie track mashed together with the "Take On Me" instrumental.
	♥ 2:32pm K8: Prof.Fuzz! One week, baby!
	♥ 2:32pm prof.fuzz: and counting! we hit the road friday...
	♥ 2:32pm HyperDose: Hey Slug, Handy, K8!!!!, prof.fuzz! Everything looks great and is healing well, thanks. Still have a ways to go in terms of scabbing and whatnot, but I got the green light to work out again. Just filled up a backpack with San Marzanos and had a lovely stroll home. It's sauce day!
	♥ 2:33pm Tome: Great show EFD hi and everyone ,, I'm still stuck on Blondie's 1st and Plastic Letters , but that was nice !<>!
	♥ 2:33pm Handy Haversack: Sigh. Wish we'd been able to see System Exclusive when they came to town. Quality stuff.
	♥ 2:36pm K8: Yeah, System Exclusive sounds fantastic. Oh, hi, Handy...and hello HyperDose!
	♥ 2:38pm Figgsrock: "Uh oh, this isn't going to go well." --EFD on that guitar player in Union, NJ, or perhaps an observation about the rest of 2022.
	♥ 2:39pm dave wuz here: putting punctuation in the middle of a band name is bu;llshit
	2:39pm Androu B.: efd, you were just talking about my old stomping ground as a kid, Union City!
	♥ 2:40pm Figgsrock: At the day job we do not include the period in Portugal. The Man when writing about them.
	2:41pm Androu B.: Used to live on 41st St. near JFK Blvd.
	♥ 2:41pm Handy Haversack: Are there any Nickleback fans in Portugal.?!
	2:42pm Juli: I need to move back to the city type area: so bored in the burbs
	♥ 2:42pm tim from washington: I always new Todd-O-Phonic wanted to be a cowboy's sweetheart.
	2:43pm Juli: Or maybe I need more hobbies
	♥ 2:43pm efd: @Androu, it was Union, not Union City! (and not Union Township either!)
	2:43pm Androu B.: Also remember UC's main theater in town on Bergenline Ave., The Regal (if I remember the name correctly).
	♥ 2:43pm tim from washington: @Handy - Hey! Don't insult the Portuguese like that!
	♥ 2:44pm efd: oh that period in Portugal The Man drives me bananas
	♥ 2:45pm drr: I'll accept the punctuation in Suddenly, Tammy! but that's about it.
	2:46pm Androu B.: OK, I'm familiar with that Union, the borough, as well. My old man used to work at the old Western Electric HQ there many decades ago.
	♥ 2:46pm drr: Portugal. The Dot
	2:48pm Juli: May Move to North NJ again So spensive
	♥ 2:49pm Figgsrock: Oh cool EFD--my friend Ed Valauskas is in the Andrea Gillis Band. (Among like 100 other projects in Boston.)
	♥ 2:50pm Tome: still get all bent out of shape with NJ locations, my uncle explained it to me one time way back: ie... boroughs , counties, townships etc.. !<>!
	2:50pm Andres: I like a song that declares its meaning. Helpful for those of us who have trouble with lyrics.
	2:53pm Andres: Sports Team. Great tune here and lots of potential for tee shirts at the merch table.
	♥ 2:54pm tim from washington: Thanks for the great live set and music today, efd!
	♥ 2:54pm slugluv1313: @HyperDose -- great to hear! & omg YES, absolutely gorgeous outside
	♥ 2:55pm Handy Haversack: It's Dweet Knives! Many thanks, efd! Great to see you all!
	♥ 2:56pm HyperDose: Thanks, efd. Appreciate ya!
	♥ 2:56pm slugluv1313: fantastic show, EFD -- and live set from Bush Tetras! thanks so much!
	♥ 2:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you EFD, great show!!
	♥ 2:57pm drr: All the band names are taken, so people started using punctuation and silly spellings so you can google the band (e.g. CHVRCHES). I feel like it started around the time of MGMT. That's when I noticed. I was like "Are the called Management? Or Mug Mutt?"
	♥ 2:57pm efd: thanks for listening everyone!
	♥ 2:57pm radioronan: Thanks Evan!
	♥ 2:57pm K8: Loved what I got home in time for, EFD! Thank you!
	♥ 2:57pm prof.fuzz: great show, EFD! hope to see some of y'all at Wonderville next Weds night!
	♥ 2:57pm drr: Thanks Funk!
	2:58pm Miss Georgia Peach: Great show today
	♥ 2:58pm Handy Haversack: Blistering!
	♥ 2:58pm pollypinocle: Hey folks, keep an eye out for "Funny Pages" movie.. coming soon to a theater near you! A string of Dave the Spazz references and I hear it's brilliant, in the vein of Crumb. Can't wait to see it fer myself! Thanks for the great show, Evan!
	♥ 2:59pm DjLorraine: Coool

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 25, 2022

View efd's profile

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.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show playlists | Next playlist -->

Upcoming events:

Wed. May 1st, Noon - 3pm: UV-TV (More info...)
UV-TV formed in Gainesville, Florida, in the mid-2010s, but by the turn of the decade they’d relocated to New York City. Their first release after moving to NYC, 2021’s Always Something, was one of EFD’s favorites of that year; they’ll play some songs from that album as well as some new songs from an upcoming release. Tune in for some post-punk jangle-drone!
Wed. May 22nd, Noon - 3pm: The Prof. Fuzz 63 (More info...)
The Prof. Fuzz 63 are a three-piece family band from just north of Dallas. They’re also literally a garage band. Their garage/practice space is adorned with photos of The Cramps, among others, and singer uses an old telephone handset for a mic. What else do you need to know? OK, they’re also playing May 22 at Berlin in NYC and May 23 at Finnegan’s in Hoboken.

	♥ 12:00pm Figgsrock: Wait, is today the Gavin Rossdale set on EFD?
	12:00pm TerrDE: thanks,Ken
	♥ 12:01pm Erin in TO: Hey efd, how was the Mouth Congress show?
	♥ 12:01pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Nice Pop Roxx this morning, efd! I really needed the reassurance that I'm not the only one still quoting the Alice Cooper scene in Wayne's World!
	♥ 12:02pm Erin in TO: @Handy Wayne's World was a key movie in my youth, you're not alone in quoting it
	♥ 12:03pm Handy Haversack: I feel seen, Erin. Thank you!
	♥ 12:04pm Erin in TO: @Handy Party on
	♥ 12:04pm Artie: Best appropriate band name award goes to ...
	12:05pm rx scabin: Hello, efd and others.
	12:07pm Stevel: Good Wednesday to all!
	♥ 12:08pm efd: Good afternoon, everyone! Thanks for tuning in... live Bush Tetras set coming up at 1pm (EDT) (Evan Davies Time)!
	♥ 12:09pm efd: @Handy glad you appreciated that!
	♥ 12:10pm efd: @Erin it was great! (Despite the absence of "The People Have Spoken" Check my Instagram for pics & videos, I think you can see them even if you're not an Insta user.
	♥ 12:10pm efd: @Figgsrock now that is a reach!
	♥ 12:12pm Erin in TO: @efd wow I'm surprised they left that one out :( Glad you had fun at it though, I really loved the show they did here
	12:12pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Anybody see the new Kids in the Hall on Amazon Prime? Its pretty out there and lots of male full frontal nudity. And other stuff. Just got done with the post apocalyptic DJ spinning the one record he has as his generator runs out of fuel. They are ahead of their time, true comic punks not afraid to laugh at themselves. Wow. Hope they get renewed. The male strippers sketch of 60 somethings was pretty funny and out there. It went embarrassingly long. They are NOT afraid to stick to a joke until the very end.
	♥ 12:13pm efd: @Erin they had 4 or 5 new songs they'd written especially for that show so I guess something had to give.
	♥ 12:14pm efd: @Wild Neil I LOVE the new KITH episodes. The documentary Comedy Punks, also on Amazon Prime, is also wonderful.
	♥ 12:14pm dale: 90.1 was silent for about five minutes - just came back.
	♥ 12:15pm Andrew Waterloo: There is also a nice shot of Dallas Goode playing bass for Shadowy Men in the intro
	♥ 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Actually, I have to run! Meeting listener yerfriendpaul for lunch! Back before the end, I hope. Party on, Erin. Party on, efd. Party on, all!
	♥ 12:17pm Erin in TO: @efd checked out the pics/vids you posted, looks like you got a very different show. We didn't have the screen in the back, and no costume changes for us!
	12:18pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: I had to leave work early with some stomach troubles so I’m listening to EFD while I eat a banana in bed before I pass out. Glad to see everybody here and to be able to listen and distract myself from my body and the world. Long live the banana! But not the cruelty that often brings it to our grocery stores, farmers markets, fresh fruit dealers. 🍌
	♥ 12:19pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD and everybody! Looking forward to the Bush Tetras set, and looking forward to seeing them in person next week at Elsewhere!
	♥ 12:20pm tim from washington: Man, this Igloos is cool! Hi efd! Hi everyone! I am really really very really looking forward to the Bush Tetras set.
	♥ 12:20pm Hughie Considine: The second Teardrop Explodes record didn't get a lot of love, but to me this one is top tier.
	♥ 12:20pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Unfortunately may have to miss the Bush Tetras -- have a two hour Zoom thingy coming up--but wanted to stop in and say Hi.
	12:22pm Andres: Good aft, efd and all! Live set? Alright!
	12:22pm BillfromRockTavern: Had to purchase Curtis Godino presents The Midnight Wishers after hearing it last week's EFD show. Always broke out all my B Movie 12' in singles yesterday.
	♥ 12:22pm YETI BOB: Julian!
	♥ 12:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: YES to The Four Horsemen Been getting a lot of play across shows and I am here for it!
	♥ 12:23pm Krys O.: Yes!
	12:23pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Hi all! Also excited about the bush tetras. You know I used to sniff carbon tetra chloride so I’m like an original fan
	♥ 12:24pm Artie: Keeping an aquarium is certainly a delight.
	♥ 12:24pm JG: Vangelis , right?
	♥ 12:25pm efd: there is no small amount of air drumming going on in Studio A right now
	♥ 12:25pm efd: in fact I typed that with my nose
	12:26pm UFOspecialist: Do you have any albums by that Evan "Funk" Davies???
	♥ 12:27pm tim from washington: Now that's multi-tasking, efd!
	♥ 12:29pm slugluv1313: greetings, EFD! Funksters! getting ready to head out, so been lurking -- this Aphrodite's Child is so "grounding" -- THANK YOU!!! 😺😺
	12:31pm clarke: howdy Funksters!! late in and early out, today. have yet another luncheon thang.
	♥ 12:32pm tim from washington: Well, efd, it sounds like you might have to Karen Carpenter it.
	♥ 12:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Michele can sing it!
	12:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Had to learn fluid mechanics this year. From the internet. My textbook was LACKING and it was a GOOD ONE. I tell ya, a university education is merely a licence to learn like they said at China Lake. My book didn't even have the well-known and tested empirical Darcy-Weisbach equation, a must if you are going to design a piping system! My equations satisfied a very picky professional engineer client we have. So I guess I am an ok engineer after all that!
	12:33pm BillfromRockTavern: I remember Pat Place worked in The Bleeker St. Cinema and signed me up for membership!
	♥ 12:33pm HyperDose: Right behind ya, Slug. Post op appt numero 3. Killin' it, efd!
	12:34pm clarke: 1980 period.
	12:35pm Androu B.: Good Afternoon, efd & Funk Fans! Listening now on VLC awaiting The Bush Tetras to take the air, which I'll be taking the opportunity to record.
	12:36pm Listener John from NJ: In the early/mid 1970s i used to see the advertisement for Aphrodite's Child's album "666" on the insert in LPs from their company. It was where I learned that 666 has some scary significance to some. I was REALLY suprised to hear them on yhe radio, on wfmu.
	♥ 12:37pm tim from washington: Most Blurt I've seen in the wild seems to be still affordable.
	♥ 12:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I just told a friend who's a huge Pulp fan that I prefer the Joe Jackson/Shatner version of "Common People. He is not happy.
	♥ 12:41pm Erin in TO: @WoodsOfNH I also prefer the Shatner version, so you're not alone in that
	12:41pm clarke: i think i realize what always held me back about Microdisney -- but, it seems less so on this listening: vocals (as is my usual peeve).
	♥ 12:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Erin in TO: I kind of think it was the first version I heard. Not really a big Pulp fan anyway (which he is also not happy with...ha!)
	♥ 12:43pm efd: @clarke I was discussing that very thing with a fellow WFMU DJ who gave me some Microdisney starting points.
	♥ 12:44pm efd: He kind of has a Tony Hadley thing going on, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
	♥ 12:44pm Erin in TO: @WoodsOfNH I'd heard the other, I just think the Shatner version better catches the anger of poverty...the Pulp one just feels a bit too apathetic about it to me
	12:44pm clarke: sometimes, i have a real problem with the "way" someone is singing. if it is too "guided" or affected.
	♥ 12:45pm Mona: loving the tunes evan!!
	12:45pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks efd for Fatima Mansions!!!
	12:45pm Stevel: And lo, this song is joyfully playing, as predicted by efd. Amen
	12:45pm clarke: ...or, if the singer (or drummer) is trying to show you EVERYthing they can do.
	12:46pm Tinley Park Randy: I remember this one on 120 minutes in 1991.
	12:47pm clarke: (and of course, there are exceptions to every one of my "rules", for i am a fickled mf'r).
	♥ 12:47pm efd: Mona! Thank you!
	♥ 12:47pm Thin Slice: Cathal Murray had a nice Cathal Coughlan tribute on his RTE 1 show Late Date on Monday. A mix of Cathal's music and some songs from a playlist that Coughlan had sent to Murray a few years ago.
	12:48pm rich the greeb: Am I crazy or does this song sound like a better U2? Maybe it’s the production.
	♥ 12:48pm tim from washington: In a bit of good news, Dave The Spazz's name was not mentioned in an article I just read about the first suspected Monkeypox case in Washington.
	12:48pm clarke: ciao!! goodbye!!
	♥ 12:49pm slugluv1313: hiya HyperDose! oh cool -- hope all goes well!!! 😺😺
	12:49pm rich the greeb: Ok U2 meets Jesus lizard?
	12:50pm clarke: actually, this is a good 'note' to exit on as i must head to the Frostop Diner posthaste. sounding great, as ALWAYS!! DJ Jive!!
	♥ 12:50pm efd: happy lunching, @clarke!
	♥ 12:50pm slugluv1313: i remember Pat Place at Bleecker Street Cinema too! such a cool place to see movies
	12:51pm clarke: thanks and Thanks!!
	♥ 12:51pm efd: @Mona this would go great with the Curve song you played on Monday!
	12:52pm DouglasInDallas: Late to the party but agree with @EFD to repeat on @Mona's followup....
	♥ 12:53pm tim from washington: @rich the greeb - according to the internets Fatima Mansions did open for U2's 1992 tour so you might have something there.
	♥ 12:55pm G: Here! Just busy workwriting. :-)
	12:55pm Will: Thanks for these songs EFD. The Microdisney LPs Everybody is Fantastic and The Clock Came Down the Stairs were right up there with early Smiths for me. Also saw Cathal play solo in Cambridge MA early '00s, very earnest and charming gent.
	12:59pm Androu B.: I once had a few of Fatima Mansion records sitting among my collection of CD's: the "Viva Dead Ponies" and "Lost In The Former West" albums, and the "The Only Solution: Another Revolution" and "Only Losers Take The Bus" EP's. Sold them all off, eventually. I also had heard of Microdisney years before I'd bought those records, but never knew Coughlan was involved with that group as well.
	1:00pm Andres: “Sweatshop Stans”? I hear that correct?
	1:00pm annie: would every damn website in the world just stop!! stop updating your stupid browsers!!
	1:02pm Miss Georgia Peach: Helloooooooo!!!
	♥ 1:06pm tim from washington: Already sounding kick ass!
	♥ 1:06pm efd: hiya Miss GP!
	1:06pm Androu B.: @annie I'm having problems with that, too. Every time I jump back on pages in the browser, I have to go through multiple versions of the same page until I get to the page I'm trying to reach.
	♥ 1:08pm Mike Sin: Quite a nice tribute to Cathal Coughlan there... Thanks for coordinating and broadcasting this "freelance" Bush Tetras live performance.
	♥ 1:08pm tim from washington: I was completely dumbfounded the first time I saw Steve Shelley play in 1998. I hadn't really thought much of his drumming. Then when I saw him live I was blown away with how dynamic his playing was and how he blended perfectly with the song.
	♥ 1:09pm efd: Thank you @Mike!
	1:14pm Ahab: A very fine set from bush tetras indeed. thanks for that!
	♥ 1:15pm slugluv1313: Bush Tetras sounding AMAZING! wish i could go to their show at Elsewhere (werk conflict ugh) and omg, Hugo is DJing at their gig too?!? (he was married to a friend of mine -- another lifetime ago)
	♥ 1:15pm efd: @Ahab Thank you for listening, captain!
	♥ 1:15pm efd: @slugluv Boo! Sorry you'll miss it!
	♥ 1:17pm tim from washington: Pat Place is melting my brain.
	♥ 1:17pm efd: she is such an amazing guitar player!
	♥ 1:17pm slugluv1313: right, EFD? thoroughly bummed
	♥ 1:18pm Roberto: Are Michael Jaworkski and Michael Jaworski related?
	♥ 1:20pm efd: uhhh....... well, um, "Jaworkski" is a stage name he uses when he's recording vs. mixing.
	♥ 1:20pm slugluv1313: iirc -- wasn't Pat Place the guitarist for Maggie Estep too? (vague memory of a gig at Maxwell's)
	♥ 1:20pm efd: (I'll fix it when the next song starts)
	♥ 1:23pm efd: @slugluv I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised!
	♥ 1:31pm efd: I see you're all stunned into silence by the awesomeness of this set!
	♥ 1:32pm Polyus: sounds really good man.
	♥ 1:32pm McGroovey: I remember Steve Shelley playing with the re-formed Raincoats. He played played live with them, and then at least of the subsequent EP... can't recall if he was the album.
	♥ 1:33pm tim from washington: These new songs are fantastic!!!!!
	1:37pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Can’t wait until they come to Kingston
	♥ 1:38pm tim from washington: I hereby declare efd as the 5th Bush Tetra.
	♥ 1:41pm efd: Ken designated me the 7th Kid In The Hall last week so I'm getting busy!
	♥ 1:42pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Who's the 6th Kid? Bellini??
	♥ 1:45pm prguitar: Thanks EFD for having Bush Tetras as your guests this afternoon! Much like my connection to WFMU, we go back a few lifetimes! Are they ever sounding super, and so strong!!! Makes this heart smile! 💙 🙏🏻
	♥ 1:48pm Handy Haversack: Back! Dang, missed the Cathal Coughlan tribute. Thanks for doing that, efd.
	♥ 1:49pm prof.fuzz: Hey EFD! Late to the chat board, but been listening in the van. Great BT's set.
	♥ 1:51pm Handy Haversack: The van lives!
	♥ 1:51pm McGroovey: @prof.fuzz I guess you'll be competing with the Bush Tetras for Brooklyn bodies on the 1st. Well, i know where I'll be.
	♥ 1:52pm tim from washington: Yep, I hear the Bush Tetras in Ganser.
	♥ 1:52pm efd: yeah, sorry about the conflicting date prof (and K8)! There's always something!
	♥ 1:53pm McGroovey: Great Bush Tetras thing. Maybe I need to see them in Kingston.
	♥ 1:53pm Handy Haversack: It's a big city, efd. Room for all the things!
	♥ 1:54pm prof.fuzz: @EFD: I read "There's always something" in the voice of Rosanne Rosanadana...
	♥ 1:55pm efd: as it was intended!
	♥ 1:55pm Handy Haversack: Mark Hurst special, this song!
	♥ 1:55pm DJ PB: This Peace de Résistance record scratches an itch I didn't even know I had.
	♥ 1:55pm efd: @Carmichael Ken actually was unsure of the number of Kids when he said that, but I absolutely count Bellini as the 6th Kid.
	♥ 1:56pm efd: It's really great! I just finally checked it out today!
	♥ 1:56pm melinda: hi efd and folks
	♥ 1:56pm efd: I had a really hard time deciding whether to play this song or "Don't 1099 Me."
	1:57pm 299: More peace de Resistance!!
	1:57pm satisfiedcustomer: Been listening to Bush Testras since 1978. :D <3
	♥ 2:03pm Jack McGuire: @Hughie Wilder is so good, and much better than the first Teardrop Explodes reckitt.
	♥ 2:07pm drr: This Metronomy reminds me a lot of a band I heard a lot after Hurricane Katrina....and I can't remember their name. They had a "hit" called "Kid Gloves".
	♥ 2:08pm ChukAmok: @drr Was it Rush?
	♥ 2:12pm drr: No, Rush's hit is called "By-Tor and The Snow Dog". Good guess though.
	♥ 2:12pm tim from washington: Yes!!!!! Social media air horn!
	♥ 2:12pm prof.fuzz: yay! social media air horn!
	♥ 2:13pm Handy Haversack: For Courtney!
	♥ 2:14pm tim from washington: In your face, Mark Hurst! EFD social media air horns single handedly redeem social media! ;)
	2:14pm Andres: Maybe the evil FB should be a sad wah-wah instead of the exuberant airhorn.
	2:15pm phat in lincoln: For Courtney!
	♥ 2:16pm prof.fuzz: speaking of philly, if you go see bush tetras on weds but still want to get fuzzed up with us, we're playing in philly next thurs and friday... ask a prof for the addresses.
	♥ 2:16pm drr: Voxtrot. Dumb name, good group.
	2:16pm BH: a robotic voice for "We Care A Lot" is probably very fitting
	♥ 2:17pm Figgsrock: Whoa--this is some kind of cover. Kind of wished their album was named Ocean tho.
	♥ 2:17pm efd: lol at "ask a prof!" Good to know!
	♥ 2:17pm efd: I love the "so many men, so little time" drum track haunting the background
	2:17pm Androu B.: Air horns are imperative in dancehalls across most of Latin America.
	2:18pm BH: "We care a lot about your feedback. Please stay on the line" - robotic voice when you call a business
	♥ 2:18pm efd: ... or maybe it's the "it's raining men" drum track, I always get those mixed up
	♥ 2:19pm prof.fuzz: "it's raining so many little men"
	2:19pm Androu B.: Still can't beat the original by Faith No More.
	♥ 2:19pm HyperDose: It's good to be back with you fine people
	♥ 2:20pm prof.fuzz: hyperD!
	2:20pm BH: Spray's version was a little more peppy compared to the more cynical FNM version
	♥ 2:20pm Figgsrock: I'm going to have to put that Spray on my Wishlist to see what else they cover over the next 7 plus months.
	♥ 2:21pm Handy Haversack: How's the system looking, HyperD?
	♥ 2:21pm efd: They do a serviceable version of "Rubberband Man" that I was almost going to play. I think Electric 6 still has that one sewn up, though.
	♥ 2:22pm efd: it's better than serviceable, I regret using that word.
	2:23pm Androu B.: Speaking of which, I still have fond memories of watching the one among many FNM shows at City Gardens I went to go see back in the day. Afaik, Mike Patton hadn't yet become a member of the band when they played that night i saw them.
	♥ 2:25pm Figgsrock: Well yeah, Electric Six are untouchable when it comes to covers. You should break one out next week EFD.
	♥ 2:26pm slugluv1313: heya HyperDose! how did everything go?
	♥ 2:26pm nathan: TIL that Spray is an offshoot of the Cuban Boys, responsible for "Cognoscenti vs Intelligentsia", aka the Hamster Dance song
	♥ 2:28pm tim from washington: Operator Music Band is a great band name.
	♥ 2:28pm K8: Hello EFD and Friends!!! I am late to the party, but so happy to be here!
	♥ 2:29pm Figgsrock: Oh, the Blondie comeback single! Haven't heard this forever.
	♥ 2:29pm tim from washington: Blondie is definitely on the top of my list of bands that I need to see before I or they die.
	♥ 2:30pm slugluv1313: omg yes -- love this Blondie 💜💜💜
	♥ 2:31pm prof.fuzz: hi K8!
	2:31pm Androu B.: Right now, I'm imagining the acapella of this Blondie track mashed together with the "Take On Me" instrumental.
	♥ 2:32pm K8: Prof.Fuzz! One week, baby!
	♥ 2:32pm prof.fuzz: and counting! we hit the road friday...
	♥ 2:32pm HyperDose: Hey Slug, Handy, K8!!!!, prof.fuzz! Everything looks great and is healing well, thanks. Still have a ways to go in terms of scabbing and whatnot, but I got the green light to work out again. Just filled up a backpack with San Marzanos and had a lovely stroll home. It's sauce day!
	♥ 2:33pm Tome: Great show EFD hi and everyone ,, I'm still stuck on Blondie's 1st and Plastic Letters , but that was nice !<>!
	♥ 2:33pm Handy Haversack: Sigh. Wish we'd been able to see System Exclusive when they came to town. Quality stuff.
	♥ 2:36pm K8: Yeah, System Exclusive sounds fantastic. Oh, hi, Handy...and hello HyperDose!
	♥ 2:38pm Figgsrock: "Uh oh, this isn't going to go well." --EFD on that guitar player in Union, NJ, or perhaps an observation about the rest of 2022.
	♥ 2:39pm dave wuz here: putting punctuation in the middle of a band name is bu;llshit
	2:39pm Androu B.: efd, you were just talking about my old stomping ground as a kid, Union City!
	♥ 2:40pm Figgsrock: At the day job we do not include the period in Portugal. The Man when writing about them.
	2:41pm Androu B.: Used to live on 41st St. near JFK Blvd.
	♥ 2:41pm Handy Haversack: Are there any Nickleback fans in Portugal.?!
	2:42pm Juli: I need to move back to the city type area: so bored in the burbs
	♥ 2:42pm tim from washington: I always new Todd-O-Phonic wanted to be a cowboy's sweetheart.
