Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!
Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)
It’s the 18th year of the Evan “Funk” Davies Show Holiday Music Funktacular, and this year — for the first time ever — it will air on actual Christmas Day! Tune in for three hours of Christmas music that you won’t already be sick of hearing: old and new seasonal rock, punk, dance, glam, and power pop favorites. Even your family might enjoy it!

	9:04pm steveL: Anger and lust!
	9:05pm Tome: when this record came out said to myself * there is a God * !
	9:10pm efd: That Pretenders album has been criminally underplayed by me.
	9:10pm Tome: to put it lightly Amen EFD ! still sounds as fresh as it did 38 years latter now !!
	9:13pm Roberto: The Pretenders with James and Pete was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle moments in rock music.
	9:14pm Loretta: did someone say lust?
	9:16pm Tome: ....Anger and lust my senses running amok Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? ....
	9:16pm efd: Loretta! Welcome back! It's been a while
	9:24pm Loretta: hi Evan..... it's been a while 4 sure. miss you guys!
	9:24pm steveL: "It was all very... run-of-the-mill. "
	9:41pm Aitch: Super catchy this Pretty Feelings track
	9:42pm Roberto: I knew EFD would be hip to this one sooner or later.
	9:43pm efd: sooner or later?! I've been playing it since September!
	9:43pm Roberto: Mein bad. It must be all the other FMU DJs what just got hip.
	9:44pm herb.nyc: Greeeat songs now, "pretty feelings" is amazing. But starting with the 80s, I learned the Chills have a USandA tour in February. Shows at bell house and white eagle. Yay.
	9:45pm efd: EXACTLY, Roberto! :D
	9:45pm Roberto: I see what the problem is. This might be the first EFD show I've been awake for since September. I keep passing out on the couch when I get home from work.
	9:48pm Aitch: Irwin played another one earlier, Sunshine & the Rain, It's All in Your Mind that's again great pop.
	9:52pm efd: I gotcha, Roberto. Happy to have you here tonight!
	9:54pm Roberto: Thanks, EFD!
	10:00pm Folsom: So that is why Rex was on last night!
	10:00pm steveL: Sunshine and the Rain are pretty sharp. They sound like they might be able to break out. But, what do I know?
	10:25pm Aitch: Imagine ACR named from The True Wheel, Eno "We are the 801 We are the central shaft Looking for a certain ratio Someone must have left it underneath the carpet Looking up and down the radio Oh, oh, nothing there this time Looking for a certain ratio"
	10:29pm efd: exactly right, Aitch!
	10:32pm Aitch: Eno had his fingers in everything, even if just by sheer influence. Makes we want to Do the Strand.
	10:35pm steveL: Electric Citizen: Quatro-sequel vocals. Me likey.
	10:35pm steveL: Quatro-esque, damn it!
	10:36pm efd: I kind of liked "Quatro-sequel"... like a follow-up to Suzi
	10:40pm steveL: Autocorrect makes me an f-ing genius
	10:52pm Mister Dobalina: May I have some more horn.
	10:57pm Phillippe Bastille: hey efd and everyone
	10:58pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, SteveL, and all nice people! About to drive home from New Brunswick so thanks for being my soundtrack.
	11:00pm efd: hey Jack! Drive safely, I'll try to keep you awake. :) Surprised you're not back for more YLT!
	11:00pm efd: bonsoir Phillippe!
	11:04pm Daybreak, the Human: Enjoy the seasonal Fairytale of NY w/ Pouges, but nice to hear KM in other ways. So many greats are hidden in 1 known song.
	11:04pm Daybreak, the Human: Liked Coit Tower this morning on Wake too.
	11:05pm efd: @Daybreak, I think I'm the one person who doesn't like that Pogues Xmas song, which is one reason I wanted to play a different Kirsty track tonight. Glad you're enjoying it.
	11:06pm efd: oh thanks!
	11:10pm steveL: Snapped Ankles: A:Ow! B: Cool!
	11:13pm Daybreak, the Human: Thanks efd! I’m sure there are MANY fmu listeners who actually know her catalogue and the Pogues catalogue and the many for whom x-mas music is a limited catalogue that can drive any song into the ground, who feel the same. Thanks for the broadening experience!
	11:18pm Hoboken Jack: Long neck also on the bill Friday.
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: That Pogues Christmas song reminds me of my awful ex-husband and I hate it very much. Love Kirsty though.
	11:19pm Marc15: No bagels?
	11:21pm Kat in Chicago: No ants in my lox plz.
	11:24pm efd: only b.a.g.e.l.s.
	11:26pm Andrew S: those Sadies tickets will be sweet fop somebody.. the last time i saw them was in a desolate location and the place looked like a barn anbd it must have been minus 35 degrees it was brutal cold but it was sure warm inside and packed they are so good. Wish I could remember what the place was called it was on a country road carleton place ontario its not there anymore
	11:30pm Andrew S: speaking of bagels Montreal passed a ban on wood ovens but the citizens rose up and it looks like the existing bagel shops will be exempt. power to the people
	11:35pm steveL: This show is all over the place in the best ways! Thanks again, efd!
	11:38pm Kat in Chicago: Why did Montreal ban wood ovens?
	11:38pm Kat in Chicago: Nice to hear this Feelies track again.
	11:39pm efd: I'm guessing it was some environmental thing, because of the smoke?
	11:41pm Kat in Chicago: I figured, but it seems like that wouldn’t be that big of a contributor.
	11:43pm Kat in Chicago: I want a bagel now. With l.o.x. Hold the ants.
	11:46pm Hoboken Jack: Mercer and Barone are playing on SATURDAY at VU.
	11:52pm Kat in Chicago: Anyone here been to the Velvet Underground Experience? I found out about it late into my last visit, and it was kind of spenski so I passed. Barone and Mercer would have made it more enticing.
	11:57pm Andrew S: yeah cuz of the smoke
	11:58pm Andrew S: they werent targeting bagel shops they were collateral damage but reason won out
