The Evan "Funk" Davies Show:
Playlist
from February 3, 2009

|
Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s: Rediscovering the forgotten rockers, revisiting the once-hated disco beats, replaying the power-pop favorites. Next: copious amounts of new releases and occasional live bands. Also: I’m the biggest Nick Gilder fan on WFMU.

Listener comments! | |

Tue. 2/3/09 11:06pm
Joe:
Where was this song when I was 13?! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:07pm
john:
It's been nearly a year, but, yes, folks, it's the Triumphant Return of Rockin' Henry Gross! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:10pm
Laurie:
I love this ABBA song! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:11pm
Charles:
Me too Laurie! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:11pm
Sybil:
from Graham Parker to... Abba? | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:12pm
cheri:
hiya evan--did you like the superbowl?? i only watched the half time show,, i think abba is the devil's music,=) | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:14pm
Jan Coztás.:
The new Marked Men album is great. Maybe even better than Fix My Brain. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:17pm
john:
I'm sure it's just me, and I LIKE this Pains Of Etc record, but I can't help thinking "Finally, a decent C86 tribute band." | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:18pm
cheri:
so efd did you do anything special besides the superbow this week?? | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:20pm
efd:
john - not that there's anything wrong with that! jan - haven't seen/heard the new Marked Men, but I'll keep an eye out for sure - I loved Fix My Brain. cheri - sure, I liked the super bowl fine. We'll have to agree to disagree about Abba. Sybil, Laurie, Charles, Joe - hi! OK, 7 minute song is about 2/3rds over, time to figure out what to play next. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:20pm
Joe:
As someone who -just- finally listened to C86, john, I am in complete agreement with you. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:23pm
john:
EFD--Exactly! I'd urge all new bands to be mandatorily issued a copy of The Subway Organisation comp CD. I'd bet someone in that group owns it. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:23pm
Sybil:
I loved Trent's comments yesterday about the superbowl, which I'm sure I can't recreate here. Basically, "I enjoyed watching those two sporting teams. There was a lot of stuff happening. Sometimes there isn't so much happening." I actually have the Pink Parker in pink vinyl. I am that way. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:24pm
HotRod:
Thanks for the tunes... | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:24pm
efd:
ironically, my Pink Parker is a promo -- so it's not pink. Boo-ya! There was a guy at the party I was at who was saying, "Go, game!" Kind of how I felt. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:26pm
cheri:
evan if you have THE CAKE cd on hand could you play a tune,,,thanx efd | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:26pm
john:
At about the three hour mark I was yelling at myself "Go, home!" What I'll never get about football is why they invariably wait until the fourth quarter to start playing. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:31pm
Jessica:
I'm not going out in that, either. FYI. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:31pm
Jessica:
[hyuck] | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:35pm
Pete:
EFD Marked Men have a new record called "GHOSTS" on Dirtnap released a week ago | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:45pm
E.L.:
I "lucked out" last week and wound up with a show day for my first class. It may happen again this week. Are teachers supposed to root for snow days? | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:45pm
Billy Jam:
Farms in Berkeley? Abba on WMFU? Hells yeah......Hey EFD - good show as always - greetings from Cali where I am doing WFMU remote this Friday....with lots O guests....see UPCOMING on wfmu,org for details | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:49pm
Amanda:
I just came home, turned the radio on before my coat was even off, and heard: "THE PARTY STARTS NOW!" This gladdened me a bit. | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:50pm
cheri:
you can't play THE CAKE 2nite evan? | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:50pm
HotRod:
Hey Amanda! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:52pm
Fredrik:
THIS SHOW IS SO AWESOME TONIGHT IT'S ROCKIN' M' FUGGIN TEETH OUT!!! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:52pm
cheri:
hiya wuzzzzzup hotrod!!!!!! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:53pm
efd:
sorry Cheri, no Cake tonight. Hi HotRod, hi Amanda! That was a good song to come home to. Now, get your mp3 recording machine ready for later... | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:55pm
efd:
hey Billy, thanks for checking in from Cali! (that goes for you too, Jessica) and hi, E.L.! | |
|
Tue. 2/3/09 11:59pm
cheri:
evan i need your opinion--do think i have bad taste in music?? | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:00am
C:
EVERYONE has good taste in music! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:01am
Amanda:
Hi hi everybunny! HotRod, you have to come up and visit again soon! I am relieved to know the youth of America are in good hands with E.L. as their teacher. mp3 recording machine? Are we living in the future? | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:11am
E.L.:
I was writing an email while I was listening and I thought you said "Me And My Arrow," EFD. My cat would love 16. Don't worry Amanda, I'll be fired in no time. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:14am
cheri:
yall have a wonderfull week,,,,g'nite,ohh efd please be kind when answering my question,,,thnx again=)=)=) | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:16am
Joe:
This guy sounds like the guy from Cold War Kids, except I want to punch him less. Of course, I don't know what he looks like. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:18am
Jessica:
the what What WHAT, Billy Jam? I have a pile of creepy things to attend to, Friday, which should be wrapped up right about then-ish. Mmm, I smell antidote-to-creepy-things. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:18am
Amanda:
oh man.... | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:19am
efd:
E.L., I'd like to hear 16 covering "Me and My Arrow." Amanda, now it makes sense, right? | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:21am
Billy Jam:
hey jessica - have been sending you invites to Friday's Oak-Town remote since last week......IF you think you can make it email me at billyjam at wfmu dot org for location info....And if U cant make it - no worries - will be back in Da Yay again real soon....HEY EFD thanks for allowing me to use your COMMENTS as an avenue of communicaition....more Graham Parker!! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:23am
efd:
Billy, I am all about communication avenues! Cheri - my opinion on your (or anyone's) musical taste is completely irrelevant. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:26am
Amanda:
Yes, it does! Thought you might be heading there but did not have the "audacity" to hope. I think any regular listener to this show must have quite good musical taste, but that is my own taste talking. So it's a circular argument. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:26am
E.L.:
Oh! I heard Monkey Power Trio on Liz's show. I knew that name sounded familiar. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:28am
Joe:
I know my taste in music is mediocre at best - my constantly listening to WFMU is me trying to make it better. It's like when you're trying to lose weight and you enter a triathalon that never ends. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:29am
cheri:
efd see you next week,,, | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:30am
Sybil:
My taste in music is reputedly deplorable... | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:32am
E.L.:
Joe, maybe start with a uniathlon or biathlon and work your way up? | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:32am
Joe:
HELL-to-the-YEAH. ELEPHANT POWER - Ganesh is FRESH | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:34am
Joe:
E.L. - I kinda did. I used to listen to FUV. -Burn- | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:36am
Joe:
GANESH! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:37am
Joe:
Hmm I guess call-and-response doesn't work so good on the internet. Man I gotta stop being such a wierdo. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:39am
efd:
good effort, though, Joe! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:39am
efd:
on the call & response, i mean | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:40am
Joe:
well... the weird takes effort, too. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:40am
E.L.:
Any chance of some Paul Stanley banter to go along with this? I think it's far, far better than their music. I wish he did spoken word performances. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:40am
HotRod:
Circular Power! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:42am
Neil:
Liked that MC Yogi so much I just bought it! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:44am
Tom:
That was 1976 Destroyer hmm I had to think about that one 2X cause the one I never got back then was Destroyer I skipped to "Rock'n'Roll" over ( hated !!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob Ezrin's production with a passion !!!) | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:54am
Jessica:
Like the song says: aw, yeah! I was on the phone with a sales rep, ordering new phone svc., and had to walk back into the Do You Love Me [turned up to 11] room to get my purse, and almost got the poor girl fired for laughing too loud. c'mon, like her supervisor wouldn't have just belted it out along with the clearly-always-right customer. | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 12:56am
E.L.:
Well it looks like school is on. I'll check in next week. Best to all! Thanks Evan! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 1:00am
C:
this has been one of my favorite EFD shows of all time! (but i've only been listening for like 2 years) you're really giving the may day mayhem a run for its money! | |
|
Wed. 2/4/09 1:01am
efd:
wow, thanks C! I appreciate that. goodnight E.L., good luck tomorrow! (or maybe I should be wishing that to the students) | |
