	9:33pm Gaylord Fields: efd: Just when I was jonesing for some Sylvester — you deliver! This show is a sonnet in 4/4 to the mighty real gaylords and gayladies out there just trying to live and love!
	9:40pm Caroline: Nice tribute, Evan.
	9:40pm Shannon: Thank you.
	9:40pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Thank you again, Evan.
	9:40pm JakeGould: Bravo, EFD!
	9:41pm Stevel: Bless you all. Keep each other safe as best you can.
	9:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hopefully, _this_ time is the last time we have to go through with this nonsense (mass killings).
	9:45pm Gaylord Fields: These words are affecting and gorgeous. I appreciate that your message is both universal and LGBT specific.
	9:48pm Chop Scott: Very well said Evan. Remember the 1270 Club across from WBCN?
	9:54pm Stevel: It's not possible or necessary to restate those words, but i very warmly remember the places that were home. Where you knew you were ok. So much love In the world will not be eclipsed by hatred and confusion.
	9:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You're a class act efd.
	9:57pm Stevel: Shaking it out with Rough Kids!
	9:57pm efd: thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate your kind words -- it helps me get over my feelings of self-consciousness!
	9:59pm efd: Chop Scott, I think I remember that place...? But bear in mind I was down here by the fall of '78 and spent pretty limited time in the Boston area after that.
	10:01pm Stevel: I like A Giant Dog more and more. Their live set was sharp, and a little weird. Those kids sounded a little messed up.
	10:03pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Messed up in a good way!
	10:15pm Stevel: I really, really want to see Kid Congo. Really.
	10:18pm steve: who did this song originally?
	10:19pm Danne D: Hey EFD :) Hey Funk Fans :)
	10:19pm Stevel: Psychedelic Furs
	10:19pm Stevel: Yo, Danne D!
	10:20pm efd: Daniel's article: www.buzzfeed.com...
	10:21pm steve: thanks Stevel !
	10:22pm Danne D: Stevel :)
	10:22pm coelacanth: hello efd and all
	10:23pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: Hey! What’s up!
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It seems the Zombies never set a foot wrong artistically. Except breaking up right after their masterpiece ('Odessey & Oracle').
	10:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: A friend of mine in college called the local rock station several times a week to request "Time of the Season."
	10:24pm Stevel: Such incredible songs.
	10:25pm Danne D: coelacanth :)
	10:25pm coelacanth: Hey Jake! ...Rabbit, i think they didn't know it was a masterpiece!
	10:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, Garth! They're playing your song!
	10:26pm Danne D: really can here where ZZ Top got their signature sound listening to this ;)
	10:26pm coelacanth: (sadly) ...hey Danne!
	10:28pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Reading that link now, and I'm so confused......2 of the guys in ZZ Top were in a fake Zombies cover band?! I had no idea
	10:28pm Stevel: HEEEEEEE RICH TOOO SHOWWW Best ever.
	10:30pm BadGuyZero: Good evening, everyone!
	10:32pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): They made 2 fake Zombies cover bands. TWO. My sides
	10:32pm greyhoos: The Zombies vs Os Mutantes. Go.
	10:33pm Danne D: BGZ!! :)
	10:35pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Do the Zs in ZZ Top stand for Zombies?
	10:38pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Man, how much drugs were people taking back in in 1969?!
	10:39pm JakeGould: All the drugs.
	10:42pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): So......they also faked another band at the same time. A female-led one. I'm just trying to process what I'm hearing right now.
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I want movie.
	10:44pm Stevel: Promoters of that era (and likely our own) are fascinating if somewhat repellent characters.
	10:44pm andrew: i can kind of imagine sleeping to long on a weekend and waking up and saying honey, Ijust dreamed that the zztop guys toured as fake the zombies. possibly best r&r factoid ever
	10:45pm greyhoos: @ Cliff: I always thought -- given the blues-rock/boogie debt -- that the name was a twist on the name of TX bluesman Z.Z. Hill. (ZZ Hilltop?) But apparently -- according to one dubious source -- they derived it from the name B.B. King. Shrug.
	10:46pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Yep, shut 'er down before the Feds get involved.
	10:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Then there was that time that Dusty Hill came to visit his cousin Hank Hill on TV.
	10:47pm JakeGould: @Stevel: The music business might have changed, but I assure you sketchy behavior is the norm still.
	10:51pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Wow, thanks Daniel & Evan for that interview!
	10:55pm efd: glad you enjoyed it!
	10:55pm greyhoos: BTW: Back in the '60s, I gather that there were a number of Andy Warhol impersonators hitting the lecture circuit, all with the artists's carte blanche approval. Similarly, I gather that decades later the surf-rock band Man or Astroman? granted a similar license-- allowing fan/tribute/cover bands to tour using their name.
	10:56pm JakeGould: @EFD: Amazing the sheer extent of what folks got away with in the pre-Interweb days. I mean, chutzpah is too light a word.
	10:56pm Figgsrock: $10 if you play "Sleeping Bag" in this set EFD.
	10:56pm greyhoos: BTW: What record store(s) in Atlanta were you hitting, EFD?
	10:57pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Well if Andy Warhol pulled something like this, that's just hilarious.
	10:58pm herb.nyc: Great interview! Now I wanna read the story. (Semi related- the Shangri-Las did shows when no original member was in band. I heard this from Bobby Schayer, drummer supreme, and so he called the band the Shangri-Nots! Then I saw the band, a different version, do a free city hall park show. I saw RChristgau in crowd so I told him this.)
	10:59pm geezerette: @greyhoos:The Warhol story was widely circulated and enthusiastically accepted on campuses. Who really knows?
	10:59pm efd: @Figgs that $10 is going to go unclaimed by me.
	10:59pm JakeGould: Really? I always thought the biggest thing Andy Warhol had to deal with is unauthorized prints his studio assistants would make and then sell on their own. Gerard Malanga has silk screen ink on his hands.
	11:01pm herb.nyc: I heard that Salvador Dali, late in his life, sat at the beach and signed blank canvases for money. True?
	11:01pm efd: @greyhoos I went to Decatur CD, the Decatur Wuxtry location, Wax n Facts and Criminal.
	11:01pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): This is all so absurd, I can't stop laughing right now :D
	11:02pm efd: (got a bunch of great stuff to play from all that shopping that you'll hear next week)
	11:03pm greyhoos: @ Jake: Hahahaha! Yeah, that. And I'm old enough to remember those late-night TV ads for fake-but-real Salvador Dali" prints back in the '80s.
	11:04pm Figgsrock: @EFD I'll save it for something important. Btw, the ARC summer sale is going on now--tons of 45s this year.
	11:05pm geezerette: It's astonishing how naive and unnerved "straight"people were by Warhol & pop culture in general back then. Seriously!
	11:06pm greyhoos: @ EFD: Sounds like you knew the entire circuit in advance.
	11:06pm geezerette: Adults were always saying,"You're putting me on!",followed by nervous laughter.
	11:06pm herb.nyc: These REAL tix for the REAL bands?
	11:08pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF LIES WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!
	11:11pm herb.nyc: Related to Delta Promotions bkdg that is still there, wnyc had a story of an early computer virus. If I recall, it was really a good virus devised by people in India. And that bldg is still there, with virus name on bldg. -Im relying on memory here
	11:11pm JakeGould: Are the bands humans? Or are they all Chuck E. Cheese robots? Or maybe those Showbiz Pizza robots?
	11:12pm Bklyn kid: dunyun a real band opened tonite for tame impala in orospect park
	11:12pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Naw, they're a bunch of trained chimps.
	11:14pm herb.nyc: (OCD me found it. - en.m.wikipedia.org...
	11:16pm geezerette: I love Tame Impala. What if they're really Wild Bores?
	11:18pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): herb.nyc, there was also the Cornell grad student who accidentally took out half the Internet with a computer worm in 1988. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:20pm Michele: Whoa that was rockin! Hi Evan!!!
	11:20pm herb.nyc: Cliff.Prague - so how did Czechoslovakia stream WFMU in 1988, after that accident?
	11:21pm geezerette: ultimatepainting.tumblr.com Ultimate Painting
	11:22pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Haha, how did WFMU stream at all in 1988?
	11:22pm geezerette: ha! Good point!
	11:25pm herb.nyc: Didn't Delta Promotions sell the internet to half of Europe circa 1987? I just looked at DRalston article- great pix! Brain-challenged me loves pix!
	11:25pm efd: @greyhoos I might have done just a teeny bit of research before going down there. :) @Figgs Sadly I think my midtown work location (and general work business) is going to rule out a trip to the ARC sale.
	11:26pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Ken mentioned last week that they had a phone phreaker who volunteered at the station in the early '80s who set up some kind of streaming service with Bell Labs over the phone lines, and you could edit audio too by dialing numbers on your phone or something?
	11:26pm V Priceless: Hey Evan! Fun show! Happy 70th to Noddy Holder! Yay! Cheers!
	11:28pm herb.nyc: I bought 6 CDs for $10 at ARC. Got my first Muffs, Blonder and Blonder (is there a reissue? This isn't it.). I plan on seeing them at Monty.
	11:28pm V Priceless: Great JJ tune!
	11:30pm herb.nyc: Who read Elvis C memoir? And his Joe J karaoke.
	11:33pm herb.nyc: Back to ARC sale, look for Jack Rabidu's Big Takeover mag, near entry. I brought a bunch for sale there. Has a Kid Congos story, since Evan played him. On cover is Savages. Thx.
	11:36pm ice in bklyn: that one makes sense @herb
	11:37pm geezerette: good to hear a kills track.
	11:37pm ice in bklyn: The ec/jj thing. I'd not heard the band wore blue shirts before, thx EFD
	11:38pm Ignore Function: Great show, EFD.
	11:39pm geezerette: Thanks EFD, another great show!
	11:41pm herb.nyc: @ice- I'll not spoil the EC/JJ story. Read book, very worth it. -----GAP DREAM- a band I learned via Evan, thx much.
	11:44pm rsj: i wanted to hear this again today
	11:45pm efd: .....??
	11:46pm efd: oh jfc I can't believe Jack Mello played this this morning?!
	11:46pm Ignore Function: Haven't heard this since the 80s.
	11:47pm efd: that is too weird... I've had this in my singles box for the past few weeks, seemed like a good fit after that pascal comelade/limiñanas track
	11:47pm Bootsie: One of my '80s FAVES!
	11:49pm JakeGould: I like the fact that WFMU DJs seem to be in endless competition to not play what other DJs have recently played. I love the churn of new sounds!
	11:52pm Danne D: Packing it up but thanks for an excellent show as always Evan :) Until next time funk friends :)
	11:53pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): G'night folks!
	11:57pm efd: thanks for listening everyone!
	11:58pm herb.nyc: Bunezuela! (Venezuela not so good now)
	12:01am coelacanth: Thanks Evan! ciao peeps.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from June 15, 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!

June 15, 2016: We all have a Pulse. Plus, Daniel Ralston calls in to talk about fake Zombies and ZZ Top.

	10:56pm JakeGould: @EFD: Amazing the sheer extent of what folks got away with in the pre-Interweb days. I mean, chutzpah is too light a word.
	10:56pm Figgsrock: $10 if you play "Sleeping Bag" in this set EFD.
	10:56pm greyhoos: BTW: What record store(s) in Atlanta were you hitting, EFD?
	10:57pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Well if Andy Warhol pulled something like this, that's just hilarious.
	10:58pm herb.nyc: Great interview! Now I wanna read the story. (Semi related- the Shangri-Las did shows when no original member was in band. I heard this from Bobby Schayer, drummer supreme, and so he called the band the Shangri-Nots! Then I saw the band, a different version, do a free city hall park show. I saw RChristgau in crowd so I told him this.)
	10:59pm geezerette: @greyhoos:The Warhol story was widely circulated and enthusiastically accepted on campuses. Who really knows?
	10:59pm efd: @Figgs that $10 is going to go unclaimed by me.
	10:59pm JakeGould: Really? I always thought the biggest thing Andy Warhol had to deal with is unauthorized prints his studio assistants would make and then sell on their own. Gerard Malanga has silk screen ink on his hands.
	11:01pm herb.nyc: I heard that Salvador Dali, late in his life, sat at the beach and signed blank canvases for money. True?
	11:01pm efd: @greyhoos I went to Decatur CD, the Decatur Wuxtry location, Wax n Facts and Criminal.
	11:01pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): This is all so absurd, I can't stop laughing right now :D
	11:02pm efd: (got a bunch of great stuff to play from all that shopping that you'll hear next week)
	11:03pm greyhoos: @ Jake: Hahahaha! Yeah, that. And I'm old enough to remember those late-night TV ads for fake-but-real Salvador Dali" prints back in the '80s.
	11:04pm Figgsrock: @EFD I'll save it for something important. Btw, the ARC summer sale is going on now--tons of 45s this year.
	11:05pm geezerette: It's astonishing how naive and unnerved "straight"people were by Warhol & pop culture in general back then. Seriously!
	11:06pm greyhoos: @ EFD: Sounds like you knew the entire circuit in advance.
	11:06pm geezerette: Adults were always saying,"You're putting me on!",followed by nervous laughter.
	11:06pm herb.nyc: These REAL tix for the REAL bands?
	11:08pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF LIES WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!
	11:11pm herb.nyc: Related to Delta Promotions bkdg that is still there, wnyc had a story of an early computer virus. If I recall, it was really a good virus devised by people in India. And that bldg is still there, with virus name on bldg. -Im relying on memory here
	11:11pm JakeGould: Are the bands humans? Or are they all Chuck E. Cheese robots? Or maybe those Showbiz Pizza robots?
	11:12pm Bklyn kid: dunyun a real band opened tonite for tame impala in orospect park
	11:12pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Naw, they're a bunch of trained chimps.
	11:14pm herb.nyc: (OCD me found it. - en.m.wikipedia.org...
	11:16pm geezerette: I love Tame Impala. What if they're really Wild Bores?
	11:18pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): herb.nyc, there was also the Cornell grad student who accidentally took out half the Internet with a computer worm in 1988. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:20pm Michele: Whoa that was rockin! Hi Evan!!!
	11:20pm herb.nyc: Cliff.Prague - so how did Czechoslovakia stream WFMU in 1988, after that accident?
	11:21pm geezerette: ultimatepainting.tumblr.com Ultimate Painting
	11:22pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Haha, how did WFMU stream at all in 1988?
	11:22pm geezerette: ha! Good point!
	11:25pm herb.nyc: Didn't Delta Promotions sell the internet to half of Europe circa 1987? I just looked at DRalston article- great pix! Brain-challenged me loves pix!
	11:25pm efd: @greyhoos I might have done just a teeny bit of research before going down there. :) @Figgs Sadly I think my midtown work location (and general work business) is going to rule out a trip to the ARC sale.
	11:26pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): Ken mentioned last week that they had a phone phreaker who volunteered at the station in the early '80s who set up some kind of streaming service with Bell Labs over the phone lines, and you could edit audio too by dialing numbers on your phone or something?
	11:26pm V Priceless: Hey Evan! Fun show! Happy 70th to Noddy Holder! Yay! Cheers!
	11:28pm herb.nyc: I bought 6 CDs for $10 at ARC. Got my first Muffs, Blonder and Blonder (is there a reissue? This isn't it.). I plan on seeing them at Monty.
	11:28pm V Priceless: Great JJ tune!
	11:30pm herb.nyc: Who read Elvis C memoir? And his Joe J karaoke.
	11:33pm herb.nyc: Back to ARC sale, look for Jack Rabidu's Big Takeover mag, near entry. I brought a bunch for sale there. Has a Kid Congos story, since Evan played him. On cover is Savages. Thx.
	11:36pm ice in bklyn: that one makes sense @herb
	11:37pm geezerette: good to hear a kills track.
	11:37pm ice in bklyn: The ec/jj thing. I'd not heard the band wore blue shirts before, thx EFD
	11:38pm Ignore Function: Great show, EFD.
	11:39pm geezerette: Thanks EFD, another great show!
	11:41pm herb.nyc: @ice- I'll not spoil the EC/JJ story. Read book, very worth it. -----GAP DREAM- a band I learned via Evan, thx much.
	11:44pm rsj: i wanted to hear this again today
	11:45pm efd: .....??
	11:46pm efd: oh jfc I can't believe Jack Mello played this this morning?!
	11:46pm Ignore Function: Haven't heard this since the 80s.
	11:47pm efd: that is too weird... I've had this in my singles box for the past few weeks, seemed like a good fit after that pascal comelade/limiñanas track
	11:47pm Bootsie: One of my '80s FAVES!
	11:49pm JakeGould: I like the fact that WFMU DJs seem to be in endless competition to not play what other DJs have recently played. I love the churn of new sounds!
	11:52pm Danne D: Packing it up but thanks for an excellent show as always Evan :) Until next time funk friends :)
	11:53pm Cliff (moving to Prague!): G'night folks!
	11:57pm efd: thanks for listening everyone!
	11:58pm herb.nyc: Bunezuela! (Venezuela not so good now)
	12:01am coelacanth: Thanks Evan! ciao peeps.
