Wed. Feb 20th, 9pm - Midnight: Chris O'Leary, author of "Ashes To Ashes: The Songs of David Bowie, 1976-2016" (More info...)

Ashes To Ashes completes Chris O'Leary's survey of David Bowie's entire career, song by song. This new book follows Bowie's undulating career arc from Low all the way through to Blackstar. O'Leary returns to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show to talk about the book and play some of the songs it covers. A must for Bowie fans! He'll also be appearing at McNally Jackson Books in Manhattan on February 21 and Rough Trade in Williamsburg on February 25.

Wed. Feb 27th, 9pm - Midnight: Gladshot (More info...)

NYC garage-pop-psych outfit Gladshot returns to WFMU for a live set on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show! The band has a couple of albums under their belt, both produced by quality-band-knower John Agnello, and they cite AC/DC, Neil Diamond, and Cherry Glazerr as influences. Tune in on Wednesday February 27 to hear them live on WFMU, and go out and see them in person at Union Pool on Thursday the 28th!

	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How can a few chords delivered w/ conviction & panache be so definitive? Punk succeeded too well - in distancing itself from what came before - & in being intense & transitory...even now, the real History of it hasn't been written or acknowledged...efd will bring it...just Great.

	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 9:54pm Scraps deSelby: We Love You is a good song, Kid Congo sang it pretty much straight, which is a good choice
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 9:57pm Scraps deSelby: Didn't read your comment before posting mine, stevel.
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 9:58pm efd: If I were Kid Congo's drummer I would have been so excited when he said he wanted to cover "We Love You."
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 10:01pm Scraps deSelby: pylon pylon pylon pylon pylon PYLON
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:01pm Stevel: Scraps: Kid Congo is someone I need to see live. Such a professional. So unusual. So committed to the craft.

	Wed. 5/18/16 10:06pm rob steffens: bad brains may have been on that bill too. nye 1981

	Wed. 5/18/16 10:07pm Kat in Chicago: Dangit! Missed Pylon, Kid Congo, Kleenex/Liliput...
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:07pm coelacanth: howdy Evan and Funksters
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:07pm Kat in Chicago: I haven't thought of that Furs song in decades.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:08pm rob steffens: but pylon did open for Go4
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:08pm coelacanth: yes. not happy to have missed that memorial tribute.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:09pm Stevel: I know little about Lilliput or Kleenex. How'd I miss that? Really cool stuff.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:10pm Todd-o-phonic: Nice work Evan...I thought the most exotic name I would ever hear come out of your mouth would have been Rico Petrocelli!
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 10:11pm efd: how about you take it down a notch or two, "rob stevens"
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:11pm Stevel: Kay: I found that Furs tape while cleaning my car earlier tonight. Impossible to say how many times I've listened to it over the years. Great driving music, apparently.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:12pm rob steffens: i have a Rico Petrocelli Topps 1967
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:14pm Kat in Chicago: Hey Todd, Evan parlays French tres bien. You've never heard him say "Le Poisson Rouge"?

	Wed. 5/18/16 10:14pm rob steffens: it seems like someone is trying to make funt of me.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:24pm Roberto: I don't know if this song actually busted any charts, but if it didn't, it should have.

	Wed. 5/18/16 10:41pm rob steffens: i didn't type that. apparently some douchebag is now using my name
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:42pm coelacanth: Jake, do have any information on gluten-free pie crusts?
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:45pm Will: Never before! An Upper Crust best-of retrospective.
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 10:46pm efd: just as "you"is the magic word (or one of them, anyway) for an umpire to toss a ballplayer, posting as someone else is a great way to get temporarily banned from posting comments.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:47pm Stevel: I completely understand efd expecting a frisky show coming up. Sounds sweaty!
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:49pm rob steffens: maybe thats what you get for being a fool and using your real name
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:50pm coelacanth: Evan, this baby-wants-constant-attention-troll is most likely the same one that used my user name ( a lot) a few weeks ago.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:52pm hank: Yes
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:52pm coelacanth: ...the ip address is the same one for supposedly different posters here. i'd put money on it.
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 10:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I kind of hear Bon Scott in "Cream of the Crust." Just a little bit.
	Wed. 5/18/16 10:57pm JakeGould: What Ken just said. coelacanth: Nope. i like my gluten. Got extra gluten? Send it to me. GLUTEN!!!! GLUTEN!!!! GLUTEN!!!! GLUTEN!!!!
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:00pm rob steffens: Thanks EFD!!!
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:01pm Kat in Chicago: See I told you he parlays the francais
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:02pm coelacanth: Jake, i's just kidding because you came with so much info for everybody. i'm eating gluten right now! (Thanks for those links, by the way) (...though it is tough to find a gluten-free pie crust that doesn't fall apart.)
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:03pm Marc15: Great segue into the legal ID Evan
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 11:05pm efd: I am a para-professional, Marc15.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:07pm coelacanth: with smooth like that no one will ask for documentation.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:09pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: Ha! At the last job I had—and the first full-time professional gig I quit within weeks in my life—someone was in the office pantry saying “Wow! Someone brought in gluten free cake. Jake, would you like some?” And my response—because her tone was so annoying and I didn’t want it was—“Well, that cake looks great but you know… I like gluten… So if you or anyone in the office has spare gluten, give it to this guy!” The look on er face was past stunned. She had no idea that was a joke. A week or so later I quit.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:12pm coelacanth: haha! - though it's kind of sad...either no sense of humor or needs some fresh light bulbs. that'd be hard for me to work with too.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:16pm coelacanth: sweet. Thanks for Bowie.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:16pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: She was not the main reason I quit… She was cute in her cluelessness… But my direct boss was/is some I just could not work with… Quit cold after one incident too many with him…
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:21pm coelacanth: okay... i thought maybe you were working closely with people with whom there simply was no understanding.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:25pm coelacanth: some people are quite charming and easily tolerated in cluelessness. (says the clueless man) then sometimes it feels like being in a bubble because no one hears your jokes.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:30pm coelacanth: "terry" reminds me of "nice purse".
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:51pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: The way too see her is she was cool, but like a school marmish directory of thoughtful people so she was excessively sensitive. Not a bad person but when you are a heterosexual white male she was the kind of person who you could just say, “Nice and brisk outside!” and she would react as if you said something that hurt someone.
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 11:52pm Scraps deSelby: Nervus Rex recorded one of the best pop songs -- I mean, top 10 ever -- "The God Sheila"
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:54pm Chris M.: EFD i am watching every episode of Beavis & Butthead. when the Lordz of Brooklyn music video came up i instantly thought of you.
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 11:55pm efd: maybe I need to listen to that one again - it's been a while - but I think that goes below "Don't Look" and "There She Goes" on my own list.
	♥ Wed. 5/18/16 11:56pm efd: that is hilarious, Chris!
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:57pm JakeGould: Great show, EFD! Have a good one!
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:58pm coelacanth: Jake i know what you mean.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:58pm P-90: Thanks, efd, you're truly one of those FMU All-Stars that bring 100% every single time. Always all-killer, no-filler. Mad props.
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:59pm V Priceless: Thanx efd!
	Wed. 5/18/16 11:59pm coelacanth: Thanks Evan! Excelente! ciao peeps.
