	9:14pm jon: hi efd. great start. ive got to find this reissue.
	9:14pm Stevel: Great and glorious frozen evening to you all
	9:15pm ScottC: For some reason I feel like putting on a pair of leather pants, lambs kin vest and a Wehrmacht helmet and jumping on a hog chopper and hitting the road... Weird
	9:19pm coelacanth: Lurch was reanimated for the original series.
	9:20pm Loretta: good evening Evan & all fellow listeners........staying warm?
	9:21pm Alejandroool: pretty frigid here in Torronna.... great sounds so far EFD!
	9:25pm Mailman Tom: The new, improved Elvis !
	9:26pm clinton hensley: My favorite Elvis.
	9:30pm JakeGould: Kirstie Alley was Savikk “Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan.”
	9:37pm Alejandroool: Savak is sounding great, as I expected.. great introduction
	9:39pm Folsom: @JskeGould KHAAANNNN!
	9:44pm efd: Very glad you're all here to get in on the ground floor for Savak!
	9:49pm efd: @Loretta -- reasonably warm for now, curious to see what Saturday brings, snow-wise.
	9:49pm coelacanth: sounds Great and they're tight!
	9:50pm efd: TEASER: They end the set with a cover of one of my all-time favorite Stranglers songs.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm - tight but not uptight - great songs, smart - but ketchy. Thx everybody!
	9:51pm coelacanth: all of my favorite stranglers songs are on "the raven"...but i'm sure i'm in the minority on that.
	9:53pm coelacanth: Rabbit i know what you mean. they're naturally tight because they're passionate about what they're doing.
	9:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull, they got these smart songs down & arranged - but they haven't smoothed out the Rawkin' edges. A pinch of Television maybe - but that's not quite it...Impressive.
	9:56pm efd: This is also not their first rodeo, which I think helps with the tightness. with all due respect
	10:02pm coelacanth: right. like Rabbit said- not "uptight"...i guess "tight" to some means "slick" or "clean", but i'm generally not a fan of sanitized music. this just sounds like they know what they're doing and they're comfortable with each-other. - yeah this is a good stranglers song!
	10:02pm Stevel: Cool cover. Don't hear many people taking on the Stranglers. Enjoying it.
	10:04pm coelacanth: from the stranglers' first album? (i have it on a comp)
	10:09pm John Arthur: That was awesome
	10:10pm ScottC: Savak were the Iranian secret police for the Shah so I don't think that a member would have any trouble with the TSA
	10:11pm Stevel: I miss the Obits. Shameless plug: If you're coming to Chicago, Detroit or thereabouts, plug Fort Wayne into your schedule. Please! Perhaps contact the Brass Rail. I have no connection, but I'll come out! End of shameless plug.
	10:13pm Alejandroool: yeh - and we've got plenty that will accommodate you here in Toronto if you start crossing borders...
	10:14pm coelacanth: ditto for new paltz! (snugs)
	10:15pm Stevel: Fish: Snugs, like pub snugs?
	10:18pm coelacanth: "snug harbor" technically - yes a pub. 'been there?
	10:23pm steve: hahaha
	10:23pm steve: this is awesome
	10:24pm efd: I wish it was a 12"!
	10:25pm efd: @Coel, yes, "Grip" was on the first Stranglers album (and was also a single)
	10:31pm steve: alright John Travolta is the song of 2016 so far as far as im concerned
	10:36pm Marc15: Let's hope Michael's guests have Montgomery Street on their GPS or they won't be able to show up, like Lloyd Price didn't
	10:39pm efd: I believe Michael's guests this weekend will be appearing via telephone.
	10:39pm Jeff: Hello, Funksters. Hey, please don't be disturbed if there's a blip in your stream listening - possibly even the stream stopping for you. If that happens, hit play again and you should reconnect (to a different server). I have to apply a security update to one of the stream servers and reboot it, so if it's the one you're now listening to you'll notice. Sorry!
	10:43pm efd: thanks for the warning, Jeff!
	10:43pm Alejandroool: thx Jeff
	10:48pm Stevel: Pretty sure David Byrne is looking at Uncle Michael and me.
	10:50pm herb.nyc: Re MANTLES, I wrote "mantles (slr)" on piece of paper couple of wks ago. Now that you played them, Evan, I realized what I wrote. For I kept thinking "single lens reflex??", thanks.
	10:52pm efd: ha, glad I could clear that up Herb!
	10:55pm Alex of Chicago: sweet tune
	10:56pm JakeGould: @Jeff: What if someone chooses to be disturbed but not in a way that interferes with others? I think that should be allowed.
	10:57pm Jeff: Okay, as you were - both stream servers are freshly updated and back up; DNS for your first-choice stream server now points back to our Noo York City presence. Take that, CVE-2016-0728.
	10:58pm Jeff: @Jake: that's a matter for you and your security blanket. It's nobody else's business.
	11:03pm JakeGould: I wonder if I could market a security blanket for servers?
	11:10pm glenn: chris spedding.
	11:11pm glenn: oh, and bryan, of course.
	11:20pm Jeff: @JakeGould: if it had a high enough tinfoil content, I betcha.
	11:25pm Aharon: You know you've been listening to FMU too long (or just the right amount) when you're editing with the radio on in the background and you think to yourself after 2 seconds of a song, "Oh, this sounds like a new Shit and Shine."
	11:34pm glenn: split and spline?
	11:35pm Clay: British Lions. Nice choice, Evan. RIP Buffin.
	11:36pm Todd-o-phonic: Not to "Schinderize" you, but Wilbert Harrison first cut it as "Let's Stick Together", then later as "Let's Work Together".
	11:38pm efd: ah, thanks Todd! The Canned Heat version was one of the first singles I ever bought, so I've always thought of it as "Let's Work Together." I appreciate the clarification!
	11:38pm herb.nyc: Ooh, a Hugo Largo cover!
	11:39pm glenn: i LOVE that canned heat record.
	11:42pm Clay: Agree on the Canned Heat, Glenn. Also love "On The Road Again" by them, Stellar track. Blind Owl! Bob the Bear Hite! Sic 'em Pigs!
	11:44pm efd: Now I might have to bring in the Canned Heat version next week! Hi Clay, thanks for checking in!
	11:48pm Clay: Bring the Heat, Ev!
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Zats, got sleepy and missed much of the program. This is good stuff now.
	11:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: As long as Jerry Hall doesn't re-make/re-model "Let's Stick Together" with Rupert Murdoch we should be alright.
	11:53pm V Priceless: swell show, efd! Thanks for the Bowie, too !
	11:55pm efd: I really thought that Jerry Hall/Rupert Murdoch thing was a joke the first couple of times I saw posts about it.
	11:55pm coelacanth: this song is such a beautiful closer. ...and maybe closure.
	11:56pm efd: thanks V! And thanks Ken and Aharon and JakeGould and everyone else I didn't say hi to directly earlier.
	11:57pm Nigel: This could be no more garage.
	11:58pm coelacanth: but the singer sounds like sonny bono!
	12:00am coelacanth: Thanks Evan Thanks savak ciao y'all.
	12:00am coelacanth: pronounced "shah-na"!
	12:00am Clay: Solid show, man.
	11:07am Astrojanitor: The Wolfmanhattan Project and Howlo tracks were awesome. Another solid show!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 20, 2016

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.

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!
