Playlist for The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - March 17, 2008

Mondays 11pm - 2am on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:18pm From: john

Get Down! Brilliant! Gosh, I miss the '70s. Nobody does songs about dogs any more, or at least ones that make the top 10.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:18pm From: Joe

Gilbert O'Sullivan... that, Mr. Funkdavies, is a tenuous link, at best.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:20pm From: efd

cone on, he's Irish!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_O'Sullivan

Mon. 3/17/08 11:22pm From: efd

**that should be come on, not cone on.

now ,A-Bones or House of Pain-- *that's* tenuous!

Mon. 3/17/08 11:24pm From: Joe

DJ Lethal is LITHUANIAN?!

Mon. 3/17/08 11:26pm From: that 70 chick

evan,,,,ROCK ON!!!!! play more 70s

Mon. 3/17/08 11:30pm From: john

If you play Shannon, you get my whole 51st anniversary pledge next year. DEFINITELY nobody does songs about Carl Wilson's dog drowning any more.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:32pm From: John McCabe

please mention that green clovers or other stupid pieces of paper pined to your shirt does not count you must wear a green article of clothing

Mon. 3/17/08 11:41pm From: Laurie

Oof. This Neil Young song is not so good. I think that can be said about nearly every Neil Young song, but this one in particular is bad.

It's giving me the lulz.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:42pm From: efd

damn, Laurie, you're on to me!

Mon. 3/17/08 11:46pm From: Laurie

It's okay, Evan. This James White song is my jam.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:46pm From: John McCabe

ok that Neil Young song sounded like he was "phoning it in" but Neil is the king of rock n' roll from 2000-2002 that all I would play

Mon. 3/17/08 11:47pm From: mary jane

Yes! Contort Yourself still sounds great!!

Mon. 3/17/08 11:47pm From: Laurie

Wait, isn't this James Chance?? Am I confused?

Mon. 3/17/08 11:50pm From: mary jane

Yep but he changed his name to suit his purposes. Including using James White.
And of course the band The Contortions.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:52pm From: Joe

Nope, Texas

Mon. 3/17/08 11:54pm From: Laurie

I am almost positive that "Contort Yourself" was released under James Chance & the Contortions.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:55pm From: Tim Serpas

"What Made..." is from Austin, TX

Mon. 3/17/08 11:57pm From: Randy in NC

efd, you are correct. The original version of Contort... was James Chance and the Contortions. This version was certainly smoother. My memory tells me that the Blacks became the Raybeats.

Mon. 3/17/08 11:59pm From: Laurie

I'm relatively young. I should just get points for knowing of James Chance.

Tue. 3/18/08 12:05am From: Laurie

Oh, also, the linguist in me wants to inform you that it's pronounced DED-uh-lus.

Tue. 3/18/08 12:07am From: efd

thanks for the info, Joe & TIm!

Laurie, I wholeheartedly agree regarding knowing who James Chance is in the first place. I also thought it was DED-uhlus, but I've heard a couple of others say DAYdulus so I wonder if the artist has a "special" pronunciation.

Randy, is that the case? I can't recall... I thought of them as contemporaries, but I think there was some overlap between members now that you mention it.

Tue. 3/18/08 12:18am From: a chick

efd-i sent you mail.

Tue. 3/18/08 12:27am From: Randy in NC

efd, it could be that the Blacks were the Raybeats when they played w/o James White/Chance. I know I saw them both around the same time period.

Tue. 3/18/08 12:31am From: efd

Randy, looks like you are indeed on the right track - see
http://www.raybeats.net/?page_id=3

(And Laurie, that page has some helpful James Chance/White/Black info as well.)

Tue. 3/18/08 12:46am From: Joe

This is the bounce I didn't even know I was craving. Thank you.

Tue. 3/18/08 12:48am From: Randy in NC

May 16 through June 7
Sounds exhausting. But fun!

Tue. 3/18/08 12:53am From: Randy in NC

All 21 shows are 350 Pounds.

Tue. 3/18/08 12:55am From: efd

damn, that's a lot of pounds!
Joe, glad you dug that Junc Ops.

Tue. 3/18/08 1:01am From: mary jane

One day will you play The Bush Tetras "Too Many Creeps" . The uber cool Pat Place was in the Contortions and the Bush Tetras.

Tue. 3/18/08 1:03am From: mary jane

That is, Pat Place IS in The Bush Tetras.

Tue. 3/18/08 1:07am From: Laurie

Thanks for playing Junc Ops, by the way. Miami's music scene is lackluster for the most part.

It's been mostly downhill since L'Trimm split up.

Tue. 3/18/08 1:08am From: Joe

Hopefully he won't bail like Masta Ace did! He lots alot of points with me for that... my man Noah is too cool for that shit...

Tue. 3/18/08 1:18am From: mary jane

Had not heard of Liliput...and since I like the BTetras...I wondered who Liliput is/was...looked it up...you are way cool,efd. Thank you for taking a request to a very fine place!

Tue. 3/18/08 1:35am From: efd

Mary Jane, it's my pleasure to have introduced you to Kleenex / Liliput. I highly recommend that 2CD set if you want to hear more.

Tue. 3/18/08 7:17pm From: Joe B

I am officially going on record as saying Jellyroll Man is a GREAT song/performance!

Wed. 3/19/08 11:27am From: efd

this from the DJ whose name comes up more than any other when doing a playlist search for "Neil Young!" :-)
