	9:09pm BLCKDGRD: Hey! Do you take requests? I'd like to hear some Zerodent, please.
	9:10pm JakeGould: Whatever you do tonight EFD, please don’t play anything that comes close to a patter song.
	9:10pm james: my entry to bowie when i was like 8
	9:11pm V Priceless: Heya Evan! I finally scored a copy of Chris O'Leary's 'Rebel Rebel' book - whoa! Thanks for hipping me to same!
	9:11pm JakeGould: I remember scooping out the beta video movie for “Blue Jean” at Titus Oaks Records on Avenue U back in the 1980s.
	9:17pm tonyb: ...i heard patti smith was at this show...
	9:18pm V Priceless: one of Gene Simmons fave live rekkids
	9:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...from the parallel universe where Humble Pie, The Wh♂ & Slade play Live shows together every weekend & all live in happiness...
	9:21pm james: the great Marriott
	9:29pm Loretta: good evening all!!!! hi Evan ~ great start tonight. I had no idea that it has been 25 since we lost such an outrageous artist. His shows were a natural high.....I remember them well .....from the Academy of Music in NY.
	9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jerry Shirley also on Syd Barrett solo stuff (btw).
	9:34pm Stevel: Amazing that those interviews were five years ago.
	9:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: EFD_Did you ever find the old CDR of the original bed music? I miss it.
	9:41pm Stevel: Bark: I too recognize the difference. Not positive I have a preference, but the earlier bed masked American Woman a bit more, somehow, I think.
	9:42pm efd: @Barkevious, I haven't found it, but then again I haven't been looking. I think I still have the original .wav file though, maybe I'll re-burn it and alternate between the two.
	9:42pm Barkevious Shabazz: I would support that1
	9:43pm ledzeppelinsucks: hello from 91 degree Tacoma the air is disgusting here
	9:46pm Stevel: Shark Toys. Hmmmmmm. Like.
	9:47pm Barkevious Shabazz: Excited to be seeing Lloyd Cole begrudgingly play "the hits" Friday night in Philly.
	9:48pm JakeGould: “I want to talk abut TV screens… In my 1980s band…”
	9:49pm Stevel: We could run book on which bed efd would play on a given night. Just saying. Saw Lloyd Cole last year. Cool show. I directly pimped efd, and Lloyd recalled enjoying being on the show. Funny guy, dry, dry humor.
	9:49pm efd: stay cool out there in Tacoma! Barkevious, that should be a great show! Tell him Evan "Funk" Davies sent you! :D
	9:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: Will do.
	9:50pm Stevel: That's some crazy drum/bass interplay in T.V. Me.
	9:50pm efd: I just want someone to go up to a band/artist who was on my show and say "hey, Evan 'Funk' Davies sent me!"
	9:51pm JakeGould: @efd: Now that would be something!
	9:51pm Barkevious Shabazz: I'll see what I can do. Pretty small venue. Will prob go to jail.
	9:51pm Rev.: Very cool Distributors track EFD.
	9:51pm jmd: Never heard The Distributors before. Great track, thanks for playing.
	9:51pm Stevel: Actually, efd, that's pretty close to what I said. Bark: Put bail money aside now. Trust me.
	9:53pm JakeGould: That’s a 1" button, “EFD Sent Me!”
	9:54pm Stevel: I believe I told him I heard him perform and spin on your show and was convinced I needed to see him. I also mentioned that you were the King of something or other. Can't quite recall.
	9:54pm efd: A+ Stevel, well done.
	9:55pm Stevel: Jake: Voting Yes for button.
	9:56pm efd: I kind of love the button idea. Will investigate.
	9:56pm Barkevious Shabazz: Fondelier?
	9:57pm Stevel: I'd support the button, like, with money. Just saying.
	9:58pm Stevel: Also, Slowcoach is "Nightflight"-weird quality stuff!
	10:06pm efd: @BLCKDGRD, here's your request. ;)
	10:11pm Stevel: Lots of interesting stuff, new to me tonight. Neato.
	10:12pm efd: new to me too, largely!
	10:15pm eyenoise: Hooray Gwenno!
	10:18pm Scraps: Hey ledzeppelins***s: here in Snohomish County, I didn't go out in the sun. Good thing, I start to shrivel in the eighties.
	10:20pm efd: Nice to see Washington state representing on the playlist tonight!
	10:25pm Scraps: Saloot!
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: Apostrophication.
	10:28pm Scraps: As a ex-copyeditor, I approve no-apostrophes.
	10:29pm Stevel: Is that anti-apostrophication?
	10:31pm Scraps: Much misused, and 99% doesn't do any good use.
	10:36pm Scraps: (I still habitually use them, though. Even when I have to stretch to use them with this ipad "keyboard".)
	10:40pm Scraps: Apostrophe delanda est!
	10:41pm Scraps: er, delenda, I mean. sigh
	10:42pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi Funk Fans :) Tuned in just havent on the comments. Hope you all are doing well :) Enjoying the show!
	10:44pm efd: Hi Danne! Thanks for checking in.
	10:50pm Chop Scott: Evan--Primavera effort will not be the same without you and Sherri. You will both be deeply missed on the team.
	10:51pm Kat in Chicago: Just tuned in! Hi EFD and Funkateers.
	10:51pm efd: Aw, thanks Scott. We're both gonna miss hanging out with you all too - it's always been a blast!
	10:52pm efd: hey Kat!
	10:54pm Carmichael: Yo Evan and rockers. Why does the app offer a video stream of the stalling tape?
	10:55pm efd: no idea, Carmichael! Maybe it's a remnant from the video of Dalek performing on Pseu Braun's show earlier tonight.
	10:56pm Carmichael: Could be, could be.
	11:04pm Scraps: Just take a sniff of a cat's breath: I don't want that biting me
	11:05pm Bklyn kid: evan Great broadcast
	11:05pm Bootsie: That Cait Brennan track made me think of Sparks.
	11:06pm Carmichael: New Motown!
	11:07pm Carmichael: I love Todd R's song You Cried Wolf. Would go nicely around here. Note to self ....
	11:07pm efd: I agree, Bootsie. That whole album is chock full of '70s touchstones.
	11:09pm efd: @Bklyn kid, thank you!
	11:20pm Carmichael: Wtf is this? I believe there is a Eurythmics connection somewhere.
	11:23pm brendanswfmuaccount: Man, bummed I missed the live set. This song rules. I'll have to check out the archives. Great stuff tonight, efd.
	11:24pm Michael 98145: Awright!!
	11:25pm KP: Abused apostrophes? Ex-copy editors? What did I miss?
	11:26pm efd: @Carmichael, you're right about that Eurythmics connection! I didn't realize -- Vic Martin was in both Eurythmics and Rexy.
	11:27pm Carmichael: And I recognize this voice. Alex Chilton or Chris Bell?
	11:33pm Ike: @KP, whatever it was, I missed it too. Maybe someone discussed eliminating all apostrophes from English because they're so misused?
	11:37pm KP: Ike, we should first eliminate the misusers.
	11:37pm KP: And thanks.
	11:42pm JakeGould: First they came for the apostrophes and I said nothing...
	11:44pm KP: Nothin'
	11:45pm Carmichael: Then, it was the semi-colons ...
	11:46pm Scraps: The dB's!
	11:49pm geezerette: Damn the ampersands,full speed ahead.
	11:49pm Scraps: That one without Stamey was still good.
	11:50pm efd: It was! But I'm also happy they all got back together eventually.
	11:51pm JakeGould: Ampersands, apostrophes and semi-colons bring so much joy to the world.
	11:54pm mark r: OMG I haven't heard this Lonnie Liston Smith cut since the 70s!!!
	11:54pm Scraps: I really liked the Holsapple / Stamey one before they resurrected the the dB's name. Very mellow.
	11:56pm Scraps: Mavericks, that was it.
	11:56pm efd: yes, agree
	11:59pm markreichard: Klaus is playing at the Cake Shop on 5/11 and Shea Stadium on 5/12!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 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.

<-- 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!
