Options The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from June 1, 2010 Options

efd's avatar View efd's profile Options

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.

On WFMU | Wednesdays 9pm - Midnight (EDT) | 91.1, 90.1, 91.9 FM & wfmu.org

  Tue. 6/1/10 11:10pm Michael from the Left Coast:

Ah Holly and the Italians--one of the great artists that few people know
  Tue. 6/1/10 11:14pm toni daytona:

  Tue. 6/1/10 11:29pm toni daytona:

thank you efd so could you please play some k.c for me???
  Tue. 6/1/10 11:38pm Amanda:

I believe that Brothers Johnson song was covered by Quincy Jones in like 1990, which is the reason why I know it. (Hangs head in shame)
  Tue. 6/1/10 11:41pm Jenine Bressner:

I turned the radio on as Q-Feel was playing, and I was so psyched! I searched for that record for years, after hearing it in "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" as a kid.
  Tue. 6/1/10 11:44pm toni daytona:

it's too bad you didn't meet our cartoonist greg evans,,you know the one who does LUANN.,,efd
  Tue. 6/1/10 11:48pm efd:

cool Jenine, glad you enjoyed hearing it!

Amanda, Quincy Jones produced those Brothers Johnson albums in the 70s so it's not much of a stretch that he'd've covered them also. Not terribly imaginative, though.

Toni, I didn't actually meet any cartoonists. Also, no KC tonight I'm afraid. Ironically, I had that LP with me last week, but don't have it tonight.
  Tue. 6/1/10 11:54pm toni daytona:

well i'm off to bed efd thank you for the birthday wishes and the great company,,,i have a big ahead of me 2morrow,,,g'nite,,,,evan see you soon=)

  Wed. 6/2/10 12:18am efd:

ok Toni, have a good night!
  Wed. 6/2/10 12:40am jk:

anyone interested in endtables on vinyl? grew up in louisville around this time, endtables, dickbrains, strict 9, babylon dance band. pretty sure i still have the ep somewhere and maybe a track on a compilation ep.
  Wed. 6/2/10 12:46am efd:

how many vinyl releases did they have, jk? I totally missed them back in the day...
  Wed. 6/2/10 12:53am jk:

i think it was only two. if i'm not mistaken, the one i have (which has the same cover as the cd) has 4 tracks and then maybe another single. i have one or two e.p.'s from louisville around then and they may have had a track on one of them too.
  Wed. 6/2/10 12:56am jOEEES:

degobah system is in reference to star wars... Think it's where Yoda lives.
  Wed. 6/2/10 1:00am efd:

oh jeez, really?! I guess I just outed myself as a non-Star Wars nerd.

jk, thanks for the Endtables info... cool that you've got that stuff, what a great band!
  Wed. 6/2/10 1:07am jk:

yeah, it was a fun time. also, didn't mean to make it look like i was selling it, i've held on too long to let it go now.
  Wed. 6/2/10 1:47am Michael from the Left Coast:

Steve Marriott--a man who could do no wrong (except maybe smoking in bed) but certainly as great as any musically
  Wed. 6/2/10 1:50am efd:

Agreed, Michael.
  Wed. 6/2/10 1:53am TRST:

oh. wow. i can type to the dj in real time. awesome.

HEY. in 2006 someone on WFMU played a song called "Mellow Boy" by a band called Hot Love, or vice versa. i have searched for it on the internet ever since, even willing to pay money to hear it again, but no luck. any chance you know what i'm talking about?
  Wed. 6/2/10 1:55am TRST:

also i usually love your show.
thanks for doing it.
  Wed. 6/2/10 1:57am efd:

hey thanks, TRST! Not sure what song that is offhand - have you tried the playlist search engine? http://wfmu.org/searchadv.php
  Wed. 6/2/10 2:00am TRST:

THANK YOU!!!!
  Fri. 6/4/10 3:00pm rory:

I really like RVIVR. Thanks for introducing them to me. Disagree with the emo comment earlier. But even if it was, who cares? As long as the music is good, genre is irrelevant. Hoping to see them in Seattle.
  Wed. 1/5/11 2:56pm Stephen Rader:

Endtables? If anyone wants to chat about the endtables, I grew up with them, and still talk to them occassionally alex, and would love to chat about them....
