	9:14pm melinda: Oh, they did Fly Robin Fly...no wonder.

	9:26pm FernandoBelmondo: Hello @efd @Todd-o-phonic and everybody else! All I need is some good rocknroll for this ash wednesday and the first set hit the spot.
	9:29pm coelacanth: melinda it's a sample of some rapper (i couldn't tell you) sampling "american woman" by the guess who. so, a sample of a sample.
	9:29pm JakeGould: @melinda: It’s an instrumental remix (I believe) of “Saturday Night Fever” by Lordz of Brooklyn.
	9:34pm efd: Thanks for stepping in, Jake and coel! Melinda, there's the answer to your question.
	9:34pm melinda: coelecanth I do hear some American Woman there, now that you mention it.
	9:34pm coelacanth: okay, so put all that info together and there's your answer!
	9:35pm melinda: Thanks!
	9:36pm coelacanth: ha! ....severe lag-time here!
	9:36pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: Maybe you are suffering from opioid induced constipation?
	9:37pm chris_in_space: This Sunshine and the Rain track is a home run if I ever heard one
	9:38pm coelacanth: Jake, lemme think. no. ...my computer though...
	9:40pm coelacanth: actually i'm moving many boxes of records and walking past the laptop on each trip back and forth. (hence my comment @9:26 when Evan said "either sitting in front of a computer or listening to the radio.)
	9:44pm nardo: good stuff
	9:46pm Todd-o-phonic: Baron Four..early contender for single of the year!
	9:47pm chris_in_space: What a ridiculous set. Heavy hitters, all of em.
	9:48pm Marc Francis: I agree Todd. I am loving all that State Records stuff!
	9:51pm melinda: yes, great set!
	9:52pm coelacanth: wait, what label was that? musty dental?
	9:56pm Folsom: @Todd-o-phonic Do we need a new web page for Todd recomendations?
	9:56pm james: righteous jam!!!
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: awright-awright-awright
	10:01pm jon: Hi efd. great playlist as usual. silver convention in the first set was especially nice to hear.
	10:02pm jon: and bowie too.
	10:02pm coelacanth: right on!
	10:03pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Folsom: I have to recuse myself from answering your question!
	10:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who's thinking Karen O w/ the Massenger? Great. Bowie Forever.
	10:04pm Mike Sin: Dunno what's happening up in the ionosphere tonight, but... I was receiving the broadcast signal on the car radio all the way down to East Windsor, NJ tonight... Anyway, re: "Diamond Dogs" -- I always felt Bowie could have stated that the Rolling Stones were backing him on this track, and it would have been totally believable.
	10:06pm coelacanth: yes. let it bleed era.
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He always got such amazing sound.
	10:08pm coelacanth: (i should've put a "?" after that.)
	10:11pm efd: shout-out to Mike Sin for giving a shout-out to the ionosphere!
	10:12pm efd: btw Sunshine & The Rain fans, they'll be playing downstairs at WFMU's Monty Hall on Saturday Feb 20 along with Rye Coalition and Life Eaters.
	10:13pm Ike: Re: Todd's comment@10:03, I don't know all the FMU rules but aren't youse DJs allowed to promote your stuff in the comments if it's not your own show? No?
	10:13pm chris_in_space: just bought Sunshine and the Rain's 7".
	10:14pm TR In MI: Keep on Spacin' !
	10:15pm Aharon: Great song! If you're playing this now can't imagine what you've got for the ticket giveaway.
	10:16pm JakeGould: @Ike: Maybe if we all give andy Breckman’s kid a bottle of soda and some chips he can make a “Todd Recommends” website.
	10:21pm Folsom: @ike A Ponderosa Stonp DJ web page would be cool.
	10:33pm Uncle Michael: yow
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: Man that's some fine audience noise right there.
	10:35pm drewo: Another great show Evan. Duane did a nice EWF tribute on his program today.

	10:39pm efd: @drewo, as I noted in the playlist! :)
	10:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Duane's show is here: www.wfmu.org... Check it out at a convenient later time.
	10:52pm KP: Like
	10:52pm efd: thanks KenfHP!
	10:56pm eric: Game Theory sounding great!
	11:01pm JakeGould: The way that Facebook buries pages and how blogs have disappeared it almost seems like printing up zines and mailing them might be a more effective way to market things.
	11:23pm JakeGould: Twisted Sister!
	11:26pm Stevel: I wish they'd just tell us what they want to do.
	11:27pm JakeGould: That would be a cool compilation: What rock bands want to do versus what they don’t want to do versus what they don’t care about.
	11:30pm KP: Wow wow wow
	11:33pm Stevel: Jake=genius
	11:33pm Sybil: I'm just so sad about Maurice White. I can't... s you yearnn, so you learn. As I said in a long-ago pice dedicated to the one I love. I mean, dedicated to Julian Tavarez.
	11:36pm chris_in_space: True dat Jake. BTW you have a new friend here @wfmu and on Twitter.
	11:36pm Sybil: Thank you for remembering EW&F, and David Bowie, and all we've lost, which, please, stop now!
	11:37pm efd: ha... hi Sybil, yeah, such a shame about Maurice White. He was one of the greats.
	11:38pm Sybil: (Not telling you to stop noe, just, please, 2016, enuff is enuff!)
	11:43pm Jibolo: I'm usually not one to swoon but when it comes to Ms. Friedberger I know I'm not alone.
	11:44pm JakeGould: @chris_in_space: Cool!
	11:47pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD: Checking in a bit late today, will have to catch up on the first half of the show on the archives. Ratcat! @T.O.P. Todd: Ratcat play the '90s revival circuit these days, if you want to book them for NY/NJ shows. @Steve: Had to leave early last week so I missed your shout out. Hey!

	11:52pm Sybil: Appreciate what you have while you have it. All I've got tonight. Great show, as usual, EFD.You're a shing star. No mtter who you atr. Plant a flower, and you grow a pearl.
	11:52pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD: Yep, from Sydney. Search out their version of "I Think We're Alone Now" - I think you'll like it.
	11:56pm chris_in_space: @jakegould I could say we met through efd's show, but every time I log in to my favourite FMU shows, there you are, every time.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from February 10, 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!
