Listener comments!
	9:04pm JakeGould: That is some serious drumming like Led Zeppelin for a release by another band on Led Zeppelin’s label. And… HELLO!
	9:04pm P-90: Who got da Funk? WE got da Funk!
	9:04pm jmd: Of course they're on Swan Song. Great start to the show!
	9:06pm Loretta: good eve Evan!
	9:07pm DonJuanTijuana: Checking in for the Funk! Very bummed about not being able to attend the Fair this weekend. Always the best times at the benefit.
	9:08pm P-90: ...not to be confused with the short-lived "Schlong Song" label
	9:09pm efd: Hey everyone! Nice to see you all tonight! ...except maybe for you, P-90. ;)
	9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the end of Keith Moon...
	9:20pm efd: the end of the comments too, apparently.
	9:20pm V Priceless: Hey efd!
	9:21pm Faye: evan you are KILLING IT. perfect uplifting soundtrack to the miserable chore of packing
	9:22pm efd: hiya V!
	9:22pm efd: ohhh, that IS a miserable chore! Glad I can keep you company, Faye!
	9:24pm Jibolo Lucio: In Prince-adjacent news, Wendy and Lisa say The Revolution will be reuniting and playing some shows soon. I hope that actually happens. It would help ease some of the pain 2016 has inflicted upon us.
	9:29pm bob_ham: That was the same Incredible Lance Diamond that sang on the cover of "Bitch" that GGD gave to the No Alternative comp. #themoreyouknow
	9:29pm Stevel: In the office, alone, doing the work that prevented by work earlier today, I think. Either way, I've got the right soundtrack.
	9:34pm geezerette: Fonk honkin'! c(s:c)&
	9:35pm JakeGould: Fonz honking! (Correctomundo!)
	9:36pm Johnny: yeah thats it!
	9:36pm geezerette: HaHa!
	9:37pm tomasz.: god i love this theme tune
	9:38pm tomasz.: also hi EFD, hi comment pals, this is a great soundtrack to me making a website by typing HTML into notepad.exe at nearly 3am as if it were 1998 or something
	9:39pm tomasz.: @Faye packing is bullshit, solidarity. i was supposed to be moving across town on Friday but there was some kind of inconvenient fire incident so that's on hold for now
	9:40pm geezerette: so tonight you're gonna party like it's 1998...or something.
	9:41pm tomasz.: ha! getting my pre-millennium tension on
	9:41pm Stevel: Still a big fan of Controversy. It really stood out, back in the day.
	9:43pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Yes! I have had “Controversy” as an ear worm for the past few days. I even impulsively played it on my iPhone without headphones (!!!) on the subway when I needed a boost this morning. Nobody complained.
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was driving across town this afternoon and a local station played Prince's "When You Were Mine" and it was glorious.
	9:48pm JakeGould: For a second I thought this track was “Lucretia, My Reflection” by Sisters of Mercy.
	9:48pm rob steffens: pylon/gang of 4 was a good double bill
	9:51pm Stevel: Dark Blue is one of the few artists efd shares with William Berger. The more you know.
	9:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...weird to think of when Prince 1st came out & he was considered like this sensationalistic Madonna-era perve or something...
	9:53pm rob steffens: agreed that is sure is weird
	9:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...rather than the hyper-capable genius...)
	9:54pm rob steffens: i was reading he pleaded to billboard on how/where to be classified
	9:55pm rob steffens: this jersey city band just kicks ass
	9:57pm efd: I agree, rob!
	9:59pm JakeGould: Good thing we have Obamacare with all of the “its” being killed and all of the “ass” being kicked.
	9:59pm rob steffens: I and A
	10:08pm rob steffens: Eurostile
	10:08pm tomasz.: i like a band called "A Giant Dog" before even hearing a note
	10:11pm Clifford: Me too!
	10:13pm rob steffens: EurosBolExtTwo
	10:13pm JakeGould: The Cure! YES!
	10:13pm rob steffens: of course Clifford likes it
	10:13pm Dave in Vermont: oh yeah, I tuned in just in time!
	10:14pm rob steffens: three imaginary dogs
	10:15pm Robone Smith: Woof! Woof! Woof!
	10:20pm Chris M.: it's the efd show don't ya know on wfmu that's how it go tomorrow only 1976 songs on until noon fyi
	10:21pm Faye: DAMN ITS HIT AFTER HIT OVER HERE
	10:21pm efd: wait, seriously Chris M?
	10:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: 1976...the Bicentennial. What a party that was!
	10:22pm JakeGould: @ChrisM: You drunk?
	10:22pm Stevel: Seriously drunk?
	10:22pm Chris M.: seriously and yes i am drunk
	10:23pm JakeGould: @ChrisM: I knew that because you forgot punctuation. Just like a drunk would!
	10:23pm geezerette: Hilarious,I've been posting here but listening to Ichiban Stream! No wonder it went surreal on me!
	10:25pm Chris M.: i am seriously so drunk and seriously love efd
	10:25pm geezerette: & I am not even drunk!
	10:25pm JakeGould: 1976 was big deal to me as a kid when I was 8. I had all kinds of Bicentennial shit. So exciting!
	10:30pm Chris M.: <3 this dude efd
	10:31pm P-90: Bi-Cen in the A.M.? Count me in!
	10:32pm JakeGould: @ChrisM: Avant Garde magazine was a cool 1970s art magazine and their 1976 cover for the bicentennial is great. www.codex99.com...
	10:38pm P-90: Party like it's 1976! On "Imaginary Hangover" with Chris M.
	10:40pm Chris M.: i don't want to take anything away fro the efd show but get ready for dancing around more than a feeling for three hours
	10:48pm Stevel: All Boston, All the time.
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago: Peech Boys yesssss. Recently realized how incredibly good a year 1983 was for music.
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago: 1976 was cool too tho
	10:57pm JakeGould: Look at the Billboard chart for 1976. Nothing not good. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:57pm DJ_Guy: Tfw EFD plays disco <3 <3
	10:59pm tomasz.: did a three-hour 1983 mix a couple of years ago to mark being 30 (my birth year, y'see) and it was indeed a primo year
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: @Jake are you prepared to defend "Junk Food Junkie"? ;)
	11:02pm Kat in Chicago: That Parquet Courts just now was very very good
	11:03pm JakeGould: @Kat: Oh, I can’t defend that turd. I actually had a horrible hippie family member who would personally call me a “Junk Food Junkie” when I dared to spend my own pennies and nickels at corner vending machines. Screw that song!
	11:08pm efd: yeah there's some good stuff on that new Parquet Courts album, not surprisingly!
	11:09pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi everyone :)
	11:11pm JakeGould: EFD: Nice that you let us know it “Avenue Z” is not named after that street in Brooklyn… I mean maybe the singing barber of Sheepshead Bay played a role in it?
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Danne!
	11:16pm Danne D: Kat :D
	11:24pm tomasz.: i'm a junk food junkie
	11:27pm tomasz.: Q: how do you make a duck into a soul singer? A: put it in the oven till its bill withers
	11:27pm tomasz.: BLAMMO
	11:29pm efd: did you just make that up, tomasz?
	11:29pm efd: (to be clear, I approve and I'm mad I didn't think of it myself)
	11:30pm tomasz.: i'm afraid not. i'm surprised you haven't heard it before to be honest! i thought it was one of those corny old ones, ha ha
	11:32pm efd: I'm surprised too! I appreciate you keeping the tradition alive.
	11:33pm Kat in Chicago: I never heard that joke before and I think it's hilarious
	11:34pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: As someone who has discussed bad/good jokes here on the comments on WFMU for the past month or so, I have to say this “Bill Withers” joke is top notch! Kudos!
	11:35pm tomasz.: wow, thanks guys! i will have to dig up some more daft old music jokes
	11:36pm efd: yes please do!
	11:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: I see that Sheila B., Frangry & Michele, Billy Jam and Mr. Fine Wine are all doing live broadcasts from the record fair on Friday. Six hours of fun!
	11:51pm JakeGould: My God, EFD… X-Ray Specs? Yes!
	11:57pm Danne D: Thanks for all you do as usual EFD :) Hope to see you at the Record Fair :) Have a good night everyone!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 27, 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!
