Playlist for The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - June 9, 2008

Tuesdays 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.

Listener comments!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:02pm From: Droll

WFMU = Beatles + Stones + Wine!!! EFD You hereby replace "Donna Summer as Soooooooo My Favorite DJ"

Mon. 6/9/08 11:03pm From: efd

glad you're out there, Droll... i would have hated to waste this fine April Wine selection

Mon. 6/9/08 11:07pm From: HotRod

Now that's a compliment, Droll!!!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:10pm From: jessica

Yay!
Evan's back, and he's got me dancing like a muppet.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:11pm From: big swifty

thanks for playing M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:14pm From: E.L.

Oooh, I just ordered this Nothing People album. Very exciting. Monday is going out with a bang.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:16pm From: Randy in NC

More cowbell!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:17pm From: Laurie

Great, now I have fly to North Carolina and kill Randy. THANKS, EFD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:17pm From: Droll

Guffaw! Everyone loves April Wine, right?

HotRod -- EFD earned it. DS/JF had to play Tarkus to get the title back around 2002. There's still a "Notes Per Show" title JF holds I don't think anyone will ever come close to breaking, so he'll always be in the Pantheon of Greats.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:20pm From: Randy in NC

laurie, go to www.berkshireradio.org and look at what their fundraising premium is...

Mon. 6/9/08 11:20pm From: Amanda

Ha ha! E.L., you are hip so you ordered the Nothing People album. I, behind the times, ordered a Piper CD this week.

It is very nice to see you all again.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:21pm From: efd

aww, it's so nice to see everyone here!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:22pm From: Laurie

I ordered a shitload of Jewish music from Tzadik for Doddy. Also, a Preston Sturges DVD from Criterion Collection.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:23pm From: Laurie

PS: LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the Baskervilles.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:23pm From: dave

is it me, or is the CD mix of 'where did my summer go' different than the download version? as if i needed another reason to buy the baskervilles album...

Mon. 6/9/08 11:24pm From: toni daytona/one tanned blonde

hiya evan,,i missed you last week could please dedicate a tune just for me,,i would really appreciate it,ty ever soo much evan PEACE--LOVE--JOY & HAPPINESS=)=)=)

Mon. 6/9/08 11:24pm From: dave

PS: tooooooooooootally agree with laurie about the baskervilles.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:26pm From: E.L.

Amanda - I'm actually constantly on a quest to be hip and finding myself one step behind another Evan we know.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:26pm From: E.L.

Thank You!!!!!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:27pm From: Amanda

Tell me about it. Except I find myself a step behind Harry Harrison, weirdly.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:29pm From: dave

EFD COMMANDS AND I OBEY (SQUEEEALFEEDBACK)

Mon. 6/9/08 11:30pm From: E.L.

That must have been hypno-feedback because it worked.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:35pm From: efd

Evan, you're one step ahead of me - I haven't ordered that Nothing People album yet!

p.s. to Dave and Laurie - yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou are so right!!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:44pm From: big swifty

RANDOM ACCESS FACTOR

Mon. 6/9/08 11:48pm From: jim

hey i heard a song earlier, a guy was drinking and it was a stream-of-consciousness type of song, he kept rambling. was about 45 mins. ago, what was the name of that?

Mon. 6/9/08 11:51pm From: Miss Buxley's Batty Neice Doris

hi EFD....it is always such a BFD to hear you......Did you see any movies over the weekend? I did. I went to see Adam Sandler's Zohan film. It was too intellectual for me. Too much foreigh polittics stuff for my liking.So I left early. I took my popcorn hime and watched my Family Guy DVD set I got for my birthday, that and my CDR set of every Seven Second Delay ever archived. Well have a great one EFD and if you find any Ambrosia or Rupert Holmes or Air Supply or Mac Dre in your collection please play some.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:51pm From: Laurie

Does It Offend You, Yeah?

Mon. 6/9/08 11:51pm From: Laurie

I WIN!!!!!

Mon. 6/9/08 11:53pm From: shankara

Thanks for waking me up bro,
peace from oregon

Mon. 6/9/08 11:54pm From: E.L.

I think I know Doris. Laurie, congrats.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:55pm From: chippey

It is a bad name.
They should be call themselves, "You like the Faint, yeah?"

I like them though.

Mon. 6/9/08 11:58pm From: Miss Buxley's Batty Neice Doris

yes Evan, why? why? why so silent? we need your attention....please play some Huey Lewis for Toni d and me.....that's some real new wave alternative

Tue. 6/10/08 12:01am From: efd

alright, let's settle down with the Toni D business.
Laurie, good call!
Jim, that song was on Scott's show (right before mine) - you can check his playlist at http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/27526
Chippey - the hell of it is I like them too, I just can't deal with the name
Shankara - glad I could wake you up!

Tue. 6/10/08 12:08am From: Droll

April Wine: Check. (Reformed) Comma Abuse(r): Check. Miscued Reverb: Check. Looks like we still need a 33 played at 45 and . o O (Wait for it.... Wait for it....) TICKET!

Tue. 6/10/08 12:16am From: j

Hurrah!

Went to a show there I think in '79 0r '80.

Saw "Human Sexual Response".

I think I ate some kind of Window as well.

Amazing experience. That was such a 'strange' location for a happening club.

Tue. 6/10/08 12:21am From: efd

hey, I saw Human Sexual Response at Hurrah too! No window eating, though.
I loved that place, it was far and away my favorite club back in my college days of yore.

Tue. 6/10/08 12:28am From: efd

(this is the part where Laurie points out that we're talking about things that happened before she was born)

Tue. 6/10/08 12:29am From: Amanda

BURN!

Tue. 6/10/08 12:31am From: Laurie

Oh snaps!

That was just one show!

PS: I was playing an UNO simulacrum on Facebook, and some wisenheimer told me I was too old to play that game and that I should have kids or something to look after.

I'm 25!!

Tue. 6/10/08 12:33am From: Laurie

Next time someone a/s/l's me on a facebook application, I am going to tell them 47/m/outside your window. F'reals.

Tue. 6/10/08 12:34am From: j

It was February. Snow turning to sleet.

Bohemians (hipsters) still lived in the Earle Hotel and the Chelsea.

We knew the Pyramid and Holiday.

A club on 60th & Broadway?!?!

We grow old ...

Tue. 6/10/08 12:42am From: Randy in NC

I really liked Hurrahs too. It was so clean and spacious compared to the downtown places. Among the shows I saw there, the Specials, Pere Ubu, James White,...

Tue. 6/10/08 12:43am From: Randy in NC

Others lost in the haze of time among other things.

Tue. 6/10/08 12:46am From: Droll

Laurie, I'm sure that game is recommended for ages 8 and OVER. Tell Mr Wisenheimer if you had kids you'd end up playing Uno with them anyways.
I prefer the non-threatening WFMU web site which doesn't do "Emoticons" or require my parent's permission.

Tue. 6/10/08 12:48am From: efd

Randy, do you know this band (The Dawgs)? They're from the north shore...

Tue. 6/10/08 12:50am From: Laurie

To be fair, this application was on Facebook before they opened up the floodgates for toddlers and plebes. It used to be just us scholars procrastinating!

Tue. 6/10/08 12:52am From: E.L.

I still play Uno, just not online. I didn't know online Uno existed— but I have techno-phobia. I always liked it because it was a good humored revenge game. I also will admit that I just bought a new edition Hungry Hungry Hippos and it's still fun.

Tue. 6/10/08 12:55am From: Randy in NC

No I don't. I moved away from the Hub to LI when I was in Jr High.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:01am From: Laurie

A band has a mySpace page?!?!interrobang. Color me shocked, efd.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:02am From: C

Wow. There was a label in Malden? I'm from the next town over.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:08am From: E.L.

Thumbs up on the Herriman comics reference, Mr. Davies. Best ever!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:08am From: efd

C, would that be Medford?

Laurie, I guess I should be used to it by now but it still throws me when I google these seemingly obscure bands and see that they have a myspace page even though they've been dormant for 20-whatever years.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:11am From: Randy in NC

efd Cosmop's do don't they?

Tue. 6/10/08 1:11am From: Laurie

EFD, The Golden Dawn have a mySpace page. Remember "George Hamilton's Dead"?

Tue. 6/10/08 1:11am From: Droll

Hello Soundpool! I didn't know someone still makes new shoegazer!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:12am From: C

Nah, Wakefield. I guess it's technically 2 towns over.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:14am From: Laurie

Oh balls, now I can't find the real Golden Dawn mySpace, only some lame neo-psych band from Texas.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:15am From: Amanda

Neko Case, you can do no wrong!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:15am From: Laurie

Aaaaaaand I found it: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=50245689

Tue. 6/10/08 1:19am From: efd

E.L., I can't take credit for that reference - Brian had it in his blurb.
Randy, you're right about the Cosmops but that was occasioned by a CD release
Droll, that Soundpool album is good - more coming from that in future weeks
Laurie, thanks - I'll check the Golden Dawn page out!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:23am From: E.L.

Well... your Myspace profile photo is still Tintin. That more than makes up for it.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:24am From: Randy in NC

Von Hayes, Phillies, I knew that name sounded familiar.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:26am From: Amanda

E.L.'s switching his MySpace avatar to the Punisher, I think. Whooah!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:27am From: ADM

Diesen Deutscher rap ist hilaaaarious. VHY? It's zupa.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:27am From: ADM

Apparently there is a lot of Polish rap out there. I saw some music videos when I was in Warsaw.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:27am From: Laurie

This guy sounds like Zoolander. F'real.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:29am From: mike

Hello Evan from the UK - the xberg dhirty6 cru track is 'super, super, super'

Tue. 6/10/08 1:30am From: ADM

Veal Cutlet!!!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:31am From: Droll

Dude, my Interweb radio set is broken. It's all German sounding. Can you check the transmitter?

Tue. 6/10/08 1:35am From: efd

das transmitter ist werkfining.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:36am From: efd

ADM, Mike - thanks for checking in, glad I could help make your nite Zuper!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:46am From: ADM

The pleasure is all mine EFD! May you ever shine like Neil Diamond!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:55am From: E.L.

Great show, efd. See you next...uh...week.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:56am From: efd

thanks Evan and everyone! See you next Tuesday!

Tue. 6/10/08 1:56am From: Randy in NC

Tuesday

Tue. 6/10/08 1:57am From: Droll

EFD, I can't wait to see how you try to defend your title next week. See [sic] you Tuesday.

Tue. 6/10/08 1:58am From: efd

well it won't be with April Wine, that's for sure!

Tue. 6/10/08 2:00am From: Droll

Guffaw! Everyone loves April Wine!
There's plenty of arena rock beneath April Wine for you to plumb.

Wed. 6/11/08 5:33pm From: Paul PDX

other FM Knives fun fact: guitarist from FM Knives is now in the Mayyors and the drummer is in the English Singles

Wed. 8/20/08 3:56pm From: Rick Ele

And the singer from the FM Knives is in a band called Photobooth.
