Listener comments!
	9:04pm Uncle Michael: FTW
	9:05pm Holly in NC: EFD, have you been talking w Joe McG? I LOVE this song!
	9:07pm Holly in NC: The WOMAD version slays.
	9:07pm Uncle Michael: Greetings people....Holly, Evan...
	9:07pm Barkevious Shabazz: No "Knee Deep in Shit"?
	9:08pm fleep: Good evening, EFD, and the always upbeat, cheerful algebra suicide.
	9:08pm Andrew Waterloo: good evening!
	9:09pm Holly in NC: Hi Uncle Michael, Barkevious, fleep, all other incoming.. I have to be going out for a bit...
	9:10pm Holly in NC: btw also love Algebra Suicide & TV Ghost, this is going to be a spectacular show! :-)
	9:11pm Mike East: waiting for these people to get outta the studio...they were supposed to be done at 9, now I'll probably miss my bus, and the wife won't be happy about that. On the bright side, I get to catch the first set of efd before hoofing it to the port authority!
	9:12pm PB: This Echo & the Bunnymen (I mean TV Ghost) is pretty good.
	9:13pm Uncle Michael: I know almost nothing about Algebra Suicide other than the fact that Lydia Tomkiw apparently grew up just a few miles from me and was a year older.
	9:14pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): This TV Ghost is great. Haven't heard Algebra Suicide since picking up the Widely Distributed "Rehearsal for Retirement" sampler in a used bin in the mid-90s. I will now go re-unearth it.
	9:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Everning !
	9:15pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I bought that CD for The Lilacs' "Very Last Time," which got me through one or three breakups at the time.
	9:15pm Loretta: hello all.. great to be here tonight!
	9:16pm Uncle Michael: The keyboard sound on this...I recognize it from some other record...and it's driving me nuts.
	9:16pm kevin g: Quite a start out set for tonight! Absolutely killer.
	9:17pm steve: ghost box! that is a good label
	9:17pm Uncle Michael: On the john fox, I meant to say...
	9:17pm Jeezy: SH'na tova! Yeah sterling set thus far...
	9:17pm john: Loving the new Gap Dream trax. Hello, synths!
	9:18pm efd: Thanks Kevin! I'm feeling the pressure with Paul Humphreys looking over my shoulder! (figuratively speaking, at least)
	9:20pm fearson: very nice
	9:20pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): It's shows like this that derail whatever else I'd planned to do tonight.
	9:21pm Stevel: efd: No pressure. Really. Just relax. Don't worry about bad things happening. relax.
	9:22pm Jeezy: Wow... I think the Wrong Words win best band name of the night... thus far, anyway...
	9:22pm Mike East: doin' stuff is overrated, Pete. Just chill out and listen to the tunes.
	9:23pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I did the dishes. The laundry's doing itself. Good enough.
	9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - glad you approve of my life Mike E !
	9:31pm BadGuyZero: A copy of that Rosebud "Have a Cigar" 12-inch arrived in today's mail!
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Eric's - speaking of Bunnymen (& Teardrop Explodes) - no - ??
	9:32pm Stevel: Supported Joy Division. [rivited]
	9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Eric's wiki : en.wikipedia.org...
	9:36pm steve: haha, thats great BGZ
	9:43pm Stevel: "Electricity" is a top notch song. Period.
	9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - seems such a charming fellow !
	9:46pm Stevel: Honestly, OMD did some of the best work in the Romantic/New/wave/dance Manchester thing. "Electricity" moves me, and I'm barely sure why. Usually makes me tear up a bit. Just love it every time I hear it. Yes, charming!
	9:46pm Loretta: RRN63 ~ I got the same vibe....
	9:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: Saw OMD on the Organisation tour in Philly in '80. Could swear it was just the 2 of em. Can the host confirm?
	9:53pm efd: Barkevious, I'll ask but that was around the time I saw them at the old Ritz in NYC and Martin and Malcolm were definitely in the band.
	9:53pm john: Lovely song, Night Cafe, and the whole album is aces, but the video for this one seems to have created a certain amount of vigorous discussion among fans, self included.
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - okay - in my ignorance of their oeuvre - it seems to relate to other (British) synthpop of the era - but to have a gravitas of mood that makes it seem more substantial - like someone who might've been on the bill w/ Joy Division - & oh they just talked about that...
	10:02pm Danne D: Great interview EFD :) Hi everyone!
	10:03pm john: I'll say that a few other songs have that effect on me, particularly Souvenir and International, but Architecture and Morality and (particularly) Dazzle Ships have always been the OMD records that meant the most to me.
	10:04pm nec13: Good evening, all
	10:06pm steve: god this guy is charming
	10:10pm Barkevious Shabazz: Final confirmation that my brain is falling apart.
	10:14pm duke: Great interview
	10:16pm efd: thanks for the comments and questions, everyone! Please feel free to continue and I'll pass them on to Paul.
	10:19pm KP: Hey.
	10:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...playing catch-up w/ his wiki : en.wikipedia.org... ...though I suppose you have a better authority available !
	10:22pm Holly in NC: oh, love this :-)
	10:23pm KP: This is great
	10:25pm Poke: Great song
	10:26pm Uncle Michael: I have a Trouser Press OMD flexi downstairs.
	10:28pm KP: There was a Sweeney on Enola Gay. Dubious distinction
	10:34pm KP: It's 10:34, that's the time that it's always been.
	10:45pm George of Troy: Such a great interview and show. Thrilled to have caught them in Philly back in July, just before Malcolm fell ill. Pleased to hear he's doing better.
	10:48pm Eddy in Australia: I went on a record company boat cruise with OMD in Melbourne in 1986. Seem to recall that Andy was the big drinker, Paul the quiet thinker.
	10:49pm KP: Is mama proud of little boy today
	11:01pm George of Troy: Nerdy question for Paul: Did they ever play live with the Pianotron that was used for the lead line in Electricity, or was it just used in the studio recording?
	11:05pm Danne D: LOL sounds like with Caddyshack - over the years it has accumulated more stars
	11:05pm Uncle Michael: I've now seen two references to Pianotron today...and zero, ever, before today. Life is like that.
	11:07pm Holly in NC: This is a superb interview.
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: what Holly said. Hi Funkateers!
	11:11pm efd: thanks Kat and Holly! Glad you're enjoying it, I am too.
	11:12pm Scott Williams: Amazing show Evan, how did I not know this was happening?! Paul's a great guest. Sure missing my old Korg micro-preset right now.
	11:13pm efd: Thanks Scott! It literally only came together at about 3 or 4 this afternoon! I didn't have any time to promote it. Kind of out of the blue!
	11:13pm john: For what it's worth, Dazzle Ships still confuses people who've never heard it. And it's really fun to do.
	11:15pm Eddy in Australia: What ^^they^^ said - great interview.
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: "The next Genesis"... HA!
	11:19pm Uncle Michael: Exodus
	11:20pm john: Also discovered the Speak and Spell for that elpee!
	11:26pm steve: this is at least one person's (mine) fav OMD song!
	11:27pm Kat in Chicago: Wow, I definitely need to revisit Dazzle Ships.
	11:28pm Stevel: Brilliant! English and American meanings. Pretty sure I have to buy this album.
	11:29pm Stevel: ...and the new one. etc.
	11:29pm Holly in NC: @Steve1 - ditto re Dazzle !
	11:30pm KP: This in particular sounds v new afternoon show.
	11:32pm Danne D: EFD you're such a great interviewer :) I can't say that I was big on OMD back in the day (what with all the prog rock and all) but this has been great and interesting. I really have a much better appreciation for OMD. Paul is an engaging interview :) Sorry I haven't been too chatty folks. And I'm actually packing up now. Will try and be a little more pro-social next week :) Thanks again for a great show EFD and Paul :)
	11:32pm Holly in NC: wow, this new cut totally sounds "classic", and I mean that in a good way
	11:34pm bloopy: omd in synch with my mood rn
	11:43pm bkd69: Cool...I heard If You Leave in the store earlier today, then turned on the radio to hear Paul on EFD!
	11:46pm Tome: Messages ... love OMD !!! great interview too EFD!!!
	11:46pm MoneyPenny: I heard that, Mr. H. ;) xoxo
	11:50pm KP: Great job Evan. Hung on every word.
	11:52pm Tome: OMD always stood out to me with "warm"numbers ,, unlike a lot of the "sterile"electronic early 80s groups ,,,
	11:53pm Holly in NC: Really, really great! Thank you, Mr. Humphreys
	11:54pm bkd69: @Tome: You mean like Kraftwerk? :-)
	11:54pm steve: super interview efd
	11:55pm Tome: just to me OMD always stood out,,, but I like(liked) Krafwerk also,, it's the "warmness" of OMD
	11:56pm KP: I never had use for synth bands and to me OMD was not one. They had songs, a sound, intelligence, wit and we heard all that tonight.
	11:56pm Tome: .. although back then I wouldn't admit it being mostly a Pat Duncan listener hehe !
	11:56pm efd: Thanks so much everyone, as an Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark fan for 30+ years this has been a total (and unexpected) delight! Very happy that you're all enjoying it too!
	11:58pm john: Super song to end the show, too. Well done, all around!
	12:00am bkd69: If you want to hear more Paul, check out the documentary 'Synth Brittania,' covering a whole bunch of 80's british synthpop.
	12:00am Tome: ..this video seems like not even 10 years ago still "fresh" > bit.ly...
	12:02am Kat in Chicago: Synth Brittania YES
	6:11pm Cecile: I caught about 1/2 of this, and hope to get to the rest tomorrow. What a lovely guy Paul is!
	2:16pm Droll: OMD could have been the next Genesis? Well, they had the Mellotron... Great interview, everyone seemed comfortable, he spent three hours with you! It's always nice when the guest is so articulate and interesting and has a good sense of humor.
	5:34am Crawford: Just catching up on this show a week later, absolutely fascinating interview, enjoying very much :)
	12:24pm 12539: I'm three weeks late, but that was some great conversation and music!
	1:39pm mick: enjoyed this although quality was dubious at times-saw them this summer and the boys were as good as usual in concert and getting to meet them finally was a 30 year old dream come true-forgot to ask them why they didn't release helen of troy though!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 4, 2013

View efd's profile

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show playlists | Next playlist -->

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 4th, Noon - 3pm: Freaky Wilderness (More info...)
Brooklyn’s Freaky Wilderness includes members of Space Merchants, whose 2018 album landed in EFD’s top 10 of that year. They bring their heavy, fuzzy sound to the WFMU airwaves just days before the release of their debut album Immeasurable Heaven. They’ll preview the album in this live set ahead of the album release show on Thursday Dec. 12 at Main Drag in Brooklyn.
Wed. Dec 11th, 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!

September 4, 2013: PAUL HUMPHREYS from OMD live in the studio!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

I've been a fan of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark for about 35 years, so it was truly a delight to host Paul Humphreys at the WFMU studios for tonight's show! We played a bunch of OMD music and talked about the past, present and a teeny bit of the future of the band. Also discussed: Mellotrons, laptops, Genesis (briefly), and other topics. Use the links below (or the one above) to listen to the show, and share it with your friends!

	12:00am Tome: ..this video seems like not even 10 years ago still "fresh" > bit.ly...
	12:02am Kat in Chicago: Synth Brittania YES
	6:11pm Cecile: I caught about 1/2 of this, and hope to get to the rest tomorrow. What a lovely guy Paul is!
	2:16pm Droll: OMD could have been the next Genesis? Well, they had the Mellotron... Great interview, everyone seemed comfortable, he spent three hours with you! It's always nice when the guest is so articulate and interesting and has a good sense of humor.
	5:34am Crawford: Just catching up on this show a week later, absolutely fascinating interview, enjoying very much :)
	12:24pm 12539: I'm three weeks late, but that was some great conversation and music!
	1:39pm mick: enjoyed this although quality was dubious at times-saw them this summer and the boys were as good as usual in concert and getting to meet them finally was a 30 year old dream come true-forgot to ask them why they didn't release helen of troy though!
