Playlist for The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - November 11, 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.

half a milestone birthday, as it turns out... he's 55 today.

Tue. 11/11/08 11:55pm From: Michael Ackerman

I didn't know if he'd want his age given out

Tue. 11/11/08 11:56pm From: efd

well, it's on the bio page on marshallcrenshaw.com, so i figured it was already in the public domain. :)

Tue. 11/11/08 11:57pm From: Michael Ackerman

Good point--I didn't read the site page

Tue. 11/11/08 11:59pm From: Marshall Crenshaw

I don't mind Evan.

Thanks for playing my song!

Wed. 11/12/08 12:06am From: Joe

I highly recommend Tragedy, I saw them open for Electric Six on Rocks Off this summer...
at the time, I had never laughed so hard and danced so much, at the same time, in my life.

Wed. 11/12/08 12:12am From: Laurie

Evan! JACUZZI BOYS and Electric Bunnies are playing a show with Cheap Time this week. I will ask Jacuzzi Boys about doing a WFMU set. Apparently Cheap Time are doing a a WFMU set next month, so...

Wed. 11/12/08 12:12am From: ezra

Michael Ackerman the photographer formerly from SUNY Photo Service?

Wed. 11/12/08 12:15am From: efd

Hi Laurie! I thought the Jacuzzi Boys shows were happening closer to Thanksgiving...? Might be too short notice to set something up, but thanks for checking!

Wed. 11/12/08 12:15am From: Michael Ackerman

Sorry to disappoint you Ezra--that's my doppleganger

Wed. 11/12/08 12:16am From: Laurie

I meant they were playing this week in Miami and I can ask them to get in touch with you.

Wed. 11/12/08 12:16am From: efd

oh! ok, cool - thanks again!

Wed. 11/12/08 12:17am From: ezra

Its good to have a doppleganger... he's a great photographer too...

Wed. 11/12/08 12:19am From: Michael Ackerman

Ezra--the other MA is a great guy (I have met him several times) as well as a great photog

Wed. 11/12/08 12:24am From: jere

use an input jack. for the fruit.

Wed. 11/12/08 12:27am From: ?

"I urge, urge, urge you..."

Wow, some rare ACTUAL urge overkill

Wed. 11/12/08 12:28am From: jere

oh, I have to sign in every time? The UO joke was me. (If you didn't think it was funny, it was someone else.)

Wed. 11/12/08 12:29am From: efd

I *did* think it was funny! (And I had a hunch it was you.)

Wed. 11/12/08 12:46am From: jere

Saul Goode, ha.

Wed. 11/12/08 12:53am From: dave

i'm going to regret saying this i just know it, but i like the BTO version of 'Tramp' better.

Wed. 11/12/08 1:14am From: Joe

Jeeze, I hope I'm not getting predictable...

Yeah they were -great-, Mercury is always fun, the bartenders there keep getting better looking and friendlier, which confuses me as to wether the club itself is a dive, or just faux-dive. Either way, the openers kinda stole the show for me, never heard of them, but they totally rocked my face. Be on the lookout for Jaguar Club. Unless everyone else already knows who they are and I'm just lame. Which is totally likely.

Wed. 11/12/08 1:18am From: efd

not predictable at all, Joe - I just happened to remember that you said you were going to see them when I played them a few weeks ago.

I think we had a CD single from Jaguar Club here, as well as a full-length; didn't really grab me at the time, but maybe I need to try it again.

oh, actually I think that was Jaguar *Love*. Never mind.

Wed. 11/12/08 1:24am From: Joe

You've got quite a good memory for a guy who's show is "FHO"


Personally, I forgot I had mentioned it and got freaked out for a minute when the radio started talking to me.

It's one of those nights.

And Low Red Center is not helping. It's like paranoia in musical form.

Wed. 11/12/08 1:27am From: HotRod

I really enjoyed the last few tracks. :)

Wed. 11/12/08 1:31am From: efd

hi HotRod! Glad you enjoyed them!

Wed. 11/12/08 2:00am From: ?

Great show tonight, was all the right kinds of mellow.

Tune in to the playlist next week, because if the fates align, I'll have a special comment-section only EFD special report on the red carpet of the MTVU Woody awards!

Yeah I didn't know what they were either.

Wed. 11/12/08 9:11pm From: John John

Who is this Laurie from Miami? I live in Ft Lauderdale and she is always talking about the same show and venues I attend all the time. WHO ARE YOU!!!!! I would love to meet another WFMU fan that lives in the South Florida area.

Check me out on myspace.com/garagelife.

Thanks for keeping South Florida music cool

John John
