Playlist for The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - August 26, 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!

Turn on the convention, mute the tv, turn up the radio.

Trippy.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:08pm From: efd

Hi Joe! Is Hillary's speech on?

Tue. 8/26/08 11:11pm From: john

Greetings from the west coast! No Dodger tix yet, but I'll get to a game before I head home--who wants a Manny hat (complete with dreads)?

Tue. 8/26/08 11:13pm From: Joe

Just finished. She hit her roll during "I am, I am.' With the background song, reaction shots from Chelsea, Bill, and Mrs. Obama, it was quite delightful.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:13pm From: efd

Hi John! You've still got the whole evening ahead of you!

That hat sounds amazing, but I don't really have a hat face. (tm Kevin McDonald)

Tue. 8/26/08 11:15pm From: Joe

Kids in the Hall reference? +10 points for FunkeDavies.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:19pm From: Droll

Wow, Billie Davis sounds all crack'd up,,, or on 45... or 78!

Tue. 8/26/08 11:20pm From: efd

that was a CD! so she was at her original speed, whatever that might have been.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:22pm From: C

Gotta say that Hillary nailed it

Tue. 8/26/08 11:26pm From: C

Definitely send it out to her! Would have been better than the music she had playing behind her retrospective video -- "You Really Got Me" (VH version), "Are you Gonna Go My Way" and other crap

Tue. 8/26/08 11:26pm From: john

Really long day tomorrow (breakfast date at 9am, recording studio at 9pm), so I'm going to take advantage of the show ending at 11 out here and just pretend it's 2am. Doggers aren't home for 10 more days, so I won't have a chance to get the hat for a while anyway.

And Hillary did nail it, but it's a shame most of the networks missed Brian Schweitzer before her talking about the "petrodictators." Massive home run.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:31pm From: Droll

. o O ( Gotta be the crack... Was it even 3min long?)
BTW, the opening volley of Leif Garret then April Wine was brilliant. The graphic description of the Leif cover was really unnecessary, though.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:36pm From: Joe

I know Leif Garret solely through that truly fucked-up "Behind the Music"

Also I think he was just on that new comedy central reality show that makes fun of reality shows.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:39pm From: C

Were the lyrics to this Urban Verbs song serious or a joke?

Tue. 8/26/08 11:40pm From: Matt

I liked them. They were like a combination of early David Byrne and "Monster Mash".

Tue. 8/26/08 11:42pm From: efd

C, I'm pretty sure they were serious.

Matt, good call on the D. Byrne since Chris Frantz's brother was in the band.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:44pm From: john

Picture worth a thousand words department...

Tue. 8/26/08 11:48pm From: C

I think Urban Verbs are back together. They at least played a show in DC earlier this year.

Tue. 8/26/08 11:55pm From: john

Was that the Urban Verbs album that had the song Subways on it? I thought that was pretty cool in high school, but I cringe to think what seemed cool to me at 17....

Tue. 8/26/08 11:55pm From: efd

John, for a moment I thought that was going to be a link to the Leif Garret LP cover until I read the whole link.
Are you at liberty to disclose what you will be doing in a Los Angeles recording studio at 9pm tomorrow?

Tue. 8/26/08 11:57pm From: efd

yep, Subway is on that same Urban Verbs album. It's not bad!

Tue. 8/26/08 11:58pm From: Joe

Blow, would be my guess. Isn't it required? Like a jacket at a fancy restauraunt?

Tue. 8/26/08 11:59pm From: john

Yes I am totally at liberty, but for my own benefit I shall think of it as a vanity project unless or until we actually finish it.

And Joe, this is LA. Never got used to it as a stuffy New Englander, but you don't actually need a jacket at a fancy restaurant. Brought two anyway.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:00am From: Matt

Oh, Numero Group. You did it again.

Hopefully there's a "Home Schooled 2" comp on the horizon.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:07am From: Joe

You throw that "ticket" in there live, every week?

Wed. 8/27/08 12:12am From: Droll

Joe, I can't believe I actually heard "at the" tonight -- the EFD falsetto "Ticket" is usually solid on the beat.... First missed "ticket" I've ever heard. It's like starting with the 70's... wait for it... wait for it.... Ticket! [YES!]

Wed. 8/27/08 12:13am From: Joe

We should mock him relentlessly for the rest of the night.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:13am From: Joe

--- By phone.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:14am From: Droll

Guffaw! I'm calling his boss! Ken runs a tight ship over there,

Wed. 8/27/08 12:16am From: efd

oh boy, tough crowd!

(I can't believe I missed it either!)

Wed. 8/27/08 12:22am From: Joe

The Shining Path? Geeze, I wonder what their politics are like.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:25am From: efd

coincidentally there is also an album in the new bin that's called "Shining Path" (by a totally different band)

Wed. 8/27/08 12:28am From: Joe

WFMU is like communism: No class. *Rimshot*

Wed. 8/27/08 12:36am From: Laurie

OOoooohhh! My schedule's thrown off without Tommy Tornado.

I see you played some hometown heroes earlier in the show. Jacuzzi Boys!! They are going to play Miami with Quintron in a couple of months. Yay.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:38am From: Randy in NC

Hey, maybe this is old news that everyone knows about, but I see that MLB is going to start using instant replays to check home run calls starting this Thursday! Odd they would start with a month to go in the season.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:43am From: efd

Hey Randy! I did hear that news earlier today... I am guessing they're starting now so they can get any kinks worked out before the post-season.
I have been restraining myself from commenting on tonight's Sox-Yankeee festivities, btw.

Laurie, tell the Jacuzzi Boys to come up here! That single's great!

Wed. 8/27/08 12:44am From: Laurie

Will do, friendo!

Wed. 8/27/08 12:45am From: Joe

Oh yes, comment on the FESTIVITIES.

Feelin' FESTIVE.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:50am From: efd

yes, well, let's just say that I am going to make sure I set my DVR to record the encore presentation of tonight's game at 9am tomorrow.
Since I wasn't able to see it tonight.

It sounded like a good game to me....

Wed. 8/27/08 12:51am From: Randy in NC

The article I'm reading says it's only to determine if a HR was fair of foul, if it actually went over the fence, or if there was fan interference. Not for strike zone calls or safe/out calls, or catches.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:51am From: Randy in NC

"of" should be "or"

Wed. 8/27/08 12:52am From: Joe

Seriously though, I feel like I'm trapped beneath a burning couch.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:52am From: Randy in NC

Hey, the America Breed version of this was the first record I ever got.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:53am From: efd

right, that's what I heard also - just using it for home runs, at least for now.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it expanded to safe/out calls at some point, with a limit on how many times per game a manager could ask for a play to be reviewed. I can't see them using it for ball/strike calls, though.

Wed. 8/27/08 12:59am From: Joe

"Evil Woman" was the absolute best inclusion on the GTA 4 soundtrack. You haven't lived until you've driven a car full of gangsters, chasing another car full of gangsters, with people shooting out the windows, to the beat of "Evil Woman"

Wed. 8/27/08 12:59am From: Joe

Kind of like "Horse with No Name" in GTA; San Andreas. It was good for driving the boat.

Wed. 8/27/08 11:31am From: Nick the Bard

Not THAT Evil Woman (ELO's), the Sabbath one that was only on the UK version of the album until like, 2002 or something.

As to good GTA songs, try to match up the mission Boomshine Saigon in Vice City (Re: driving Phil to the hospital) with Toto's Africa. That really brings a new freakishly disturbing feel to the song. (probably need to do it with the PS2 version though, Xbox turned down the drunkeness wobble effect).

Welcome To The Jungle works way too well on the final mission in San Andreas, to the point that it was probably MEANT for it, but they didn't think to perma-start it like they did with Holy Diver/whatever the mission was that opens the second island in Vice City Stories.
