	9:03pm geezerette: Whooooo! :D
	9:04pm Elivs: ooooo boy
	9:05pm geezerette: Look! There's Bianca!
	9:05pm JakeGould: If I knew this was going to be a disco party, I would have eaten those two slices of pizza I just ate on top of one another.
	9:06pm melinda: Ready to boogie.
	9:07pm Elivs: wowhatajam
	9:10pm geezerette: (funky music!) (funky body!)
	9:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: I knew it was no coincidence that the gym played "Fly Robin Fly" this morning.
	9:13pm Weems: What the Funk? Too early for 80s!
	9:14pm efd: oh boy, here we go! :) hi Weems, always a pleasure to have you here for these shows!
	9:14pm geezerette: Ken, why is everyone wearing tiny little spoons around their necks?!
	9:15pm efd: ... and that goes for all the rest of you too, of course!
	9:25pm Not enough data!: Murder and music!
	9:29pm Weems: That was LATE 1980 LOL! Lovin it!!!! Keep those BPM's up!
	9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: @geezerette - Hmm...dessert cart?
	9:34pm Loretta: Evan, you know how to play disco!!! most of us probably were not fans back in the day but you make it all good....... my #1 dee jay 4 sure!!!!
	9:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: The TV commercial with the Village People just played again. Confound it, though, I still have no idea what they were selling.
	9:36pm melinda: They've brought back the Village People? Do they look aged?
	9:37pm efd: @Loretta, I wasn't a fan back in the day either!
	9:37pm geezerette: Hey I can't figure out who I'm dancing with! Oh, it's the whole room!!! @Ken, don't see dessert but everyone is sniffing coffee creamer. Oh well! :)
	9:38pm Kat: You are the #1 DJ.
	9:42pm Loretta: OK ~ now we're back to Studio 54!!!!
	9:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd say the sailor seems a little old, but the other guys look pretty good. youtu.be...
	9:45pm efd: Just picked this Solar Flare 12" up in Seattle a few weeks ago, and I'm thinking it might become a staple of the Disco/Dance Party shows!
	9:46pm JakeGould: “Boogie Fund” sounds more fun than the “Boogie 401K.”
	9:46pm melinda: Has anyone seen the documentary The Secret Disco Revolution? There is a part where the Village People are interviewed and they all steadfastly deny that there was anything gay about the group and their music.
	9:47pm melinda: I like this boogie fund.
	9:48pm efd: the feeling is mutual!!
	9:48pm efd: get it?
	9:49pm JakeGould: We get it… Don’t pump and dump the boogie fund too hard.
	9:49pm Weems: Boogie Fund arranged by the legendary Ron Have Mercy Kersey!
	9:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I, for one, am bullish on Boogie Fund.
	9:57pm Ziggy: Evan, once upon a time I worked as a cashier at a certain QuickChek, meeting you that day changed my life, now I'm spinning around the room to the funk with a bunch of friends! Bless your funky soul!!!
	9:57pm chris_in_space: Hey all. Good to be here, as usual, especially tonight. Blue Jays are down 8-0 in the 8th anyway, so no distraction there.
	9:58pm Jack Splat: Yes, I'd rate Boogie Fund a "Definite Buy."
	9:58pm efd: Hey Ziggy, no way! I remember that night - no one at the Quick Chek has commented on any of my WFMU shirts ever since!
	9:58pm Dave in SoDak: Have "Last Days of Disco" on the teevee w/ vol down. Soundtrack is EFD, muthas...
	10:02pm chris_in_space: Ahh, the WFMU shirt as social barometer. Experienced a few encounters with strangers and FMU shirts over the years as well.
	10:05pm Stevel: Wow! to the bass solo!
	10:06pm Stevel: Double wow, to the Ziggy/efd reunion.
	10:07pm Weems: Southroad Connection. KTU Sweet spot. Real disco. So good! Oh to be 16 again!
	10:09pm efd: i played this one for you, Weems! I know it's a fave.
	10:11pm Dave in SoDak: Memory from age 15. My cousin asked me why I loved Chic - said it was disco junk. I replied, "You love Grand Funk Railroad. Shut up and get the funk out."
	10:14pm famous original italianicewolf: @melinda: was that on Netflix? Because that I saw, and yes, LOLZ at the Village People
	10:15pm Stevel: Remember when people said roller disco wouldn't last?
	10:22pm melinda: @icewolf: I saw it at a local screening but I'm sure it's the same thing. I was shocked and wondered if it was a joke, especially since there is an element of satire throughout the film. But maybe they really were just ignorant pawns in the larger scheme of things.
	10:28pm efd: @melinda, is that a new/recent movie?
	10:28pm melinda: I love disco flute.
	10:29pm famous original italianicewolf: @melinda: I've seen claims elsewhere that only one member (no pun intended) was gay and no one had any idea, and dudes!!! I've seen Can't Stop the Music, COME ON
	10:30pm melinda: @efd: it came out in 2012 or 2013.
	10:30pm sam p.: @efd "secret disco revolution" is really good. there's an interview with KC that kind of turns at the end. you should def watch it. i think i saw it on VUDU.
	10:31pm Dave in SoDak: "This is Rollergirl. You like her?" - Burt Reynolds "Yeah, she's a fox." - Mark Wahlberg "Fox." How did that term ever come about? First movie that made me respect Wahlberg as an actor btw.
	10:32pm efd: thanks melinda and sam, will look out for both
	10:32pm melinda: I wonder if straight people were less savvy about these things back then. I was a kid then so I had no clue.
	10:33pm melinda: @Dave: me too. Such a great movie.
	10:34pm efd: personally I was absolutely aware at the time that the Village People were gay, or in light of those doc comments at least being marketed that way
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: I'm not going to stop dancing, but out of respect to my neighbors, I will close my blinds.
	10:36pm melinda: Come on UM, fly the disco freak flag!
	10:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Rollergirl totally kicked the crap out that one guy at the end of the movie.
	10:38pm Dave in SoDak: Yeah, Heather Graham put in a helluva performance in that flick too.
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: I'm pretty sure she killed that guy.
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: This is the best disco track ever. I hope this is the long version!
	10:40pm melinda: It was a disturbing scene. Roller boogie took a dark turn there.
	10:41pm efd: single version, sorry Uncle Michael!
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Any Boney M in store?
	10:43pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi Funk Fans :) Evan "Boogie" Davies in the house :)
	10:43pm efd: probably no Boney M, thought it's funny you ask since I also think of them when I think of CJ & Co
	10:43pm Michael from the Left Coast: Just joining, and I'm glad I haven't missed the Crown Heights Affair yet
	10:44pm Dave in SoDak: Songs related to this genre that I will never get sick of, ever: Chic - Le Freak and/or Good Times, and Santa Esmerelda - Disco Inferno (12" xtd version). Got my first kiss during that song.
	10:44pm Dave in SoDak: Sorry, pretty pedestrian, but hey...
	10:45pm Mido: THIS TRACK IS FIRE
	10:45pm Mido: THX EFD
	10:46pm melinda: Any Sylvester lined up?
	10:50pm efd: probably no Sylvester tonight since I played him pretty recently. And sorry, Michael ftLC but no CHA either. :(
	10:52pm Dave in SoDak: Wasn't Boney M German? Or am I imagining things...?
	10:52pm Mr. Pumpy: You're lighting my world on fire.
	10:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Are these all on vinyl? Either way...they are fucking killing me. I just ate the last of the shrooms...and me likey.
	10:56pm Weems: Jimmy Bo Horn. That means you're playing that Dorothy Moore track next!
	10:56pm efd: yep, all vinyl Mr. Pumpy!
	10:56pm efd: HAHA! Good guess, Weems - but wrong! :D
	10:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Hell yes! Sounds killer.
	10:57pm efd: she's coming though
	10:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: You're right, Dave. It was known as West Germany back then. I was going to spout out that they were Dutch, but luckily, I checked the internet for references and it says they're from Bonn.
	10:58pm Mr. Pumpy: No joke...having a little shroomcation...and it's all good. I'm a big time vinyl guy as well...so even better. Thanks man.
	11:00pm Dave in SoDak: @Ken I thought so. My sis spent a year at the Goethe Institute and brought an album back. Thought, "so exotic! deutsches disco!"
	11:07pm Weems: D Train. Uh oh here comes the WNYU Tiffany mix! Then get some Teena Marie on.
	11:10pm Tome: ...toot toot ! .. beep beep yea .... !!!
	11:11pm Dave in SoDak: woop woop!
	11:20pm efd: Next one is new to the efd disco/dance party, and I dare say it's an effing BURNER. New to WFMU as well as far as I can tell.
	11:22pm Weems: Always a blast Funk, but I'm hopping on the Z train. Will catch the last sweep on demand! Bravo!!!
	11:22pm Danne D: Great show Evan :) I haven't been commenting much but this has made it easier getting through the random computer crap I've been up to. Thanks!
	11:23pm efd: my pleasure Danne, thanks for listening!
	11:24pm efd: thanks for sticking with it this long Weems, I appreciate it!

	11:28pm Tome: Smokin' this one I faintly remember it in my Park Row days working @ *&R ..
	11:34pm efd: thanks Melinda, sleep well!
	11:35pm @sugarwolf@: I think I only know this from the cover/mashup Dub Be Good to Me!!
	11:35pm efd: I see you IFisher. Tome, yeah, glad I picked up that Midnight Rhythm for sure!
	11:36pm JakeGould: Just be good to me. Why not?
	11:37pm Tome: I've gotten to like a lot of these songs even back then ,, ( although I would not admit it to most at that time ) but that midnight rhythm was smokin' indeed ! ..
	11:41pm efd: Glad you liked it too, Tome!
	11:43pm efd: right sugarwolf, I remember that! Wasn't that some Norman Cook project that did that?

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!

August 24, 2016: The 8th Annual Evan "Funk" Davies Disco and/or Dance Party Show!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Summertime always reminds me of listening to Ken "Spider" Webb and Ricky Ricardo and, of course the Chief Rocker Frankie Crocker on WBLS. So when summer rolls around I start itching to play my favorite records from that era (give or take a few years) -- favorites I loved back then, and new favorites that I never heard back in the day.
In that spirit, I'm excited to bring you the 8th annual Evan "Funk" Davies Disco and/or Dance Party! It's three hours of classic dance and disco jams from the '70s and early '80s, plus some lost shoulda-been-hits that just might become your new faves. Hook up the disco ball, pull the rug back, and tell the downstairs neighbors to go out to the movies (or just invite them up!) and get ready to get up and boogie. That's right!

=======================================

Disco/dance disclaimer! I'm keeping the lines blurry and using "disco" and "dance" as catch-all terms for my own take on fun dance music from the mid-70s to the early '80s, expanding the boundaries (and sound) of the traditional disco era. No griping, please!

	10:43pm efd: probably no Boney M, thought it's funny you ask since I also think of them when I think of CJ & Co
	10:43pm Michael from the Left Coast: Just joining, and I'm glad I haven't missed the Crown Heights Affair yet
	10:44pm Dave in SoDak: Songs related to this genre that I will never get sick of, ever: Chic - Le Freak and/or Good Times, and Santa Esmerelda - Disco Inferno (12" xtd version). Got my first kiss during that song.
	10:44pm Dave in SoDak: Sorry, pretty pedestrian, but hey...
	10:45pm Mido: THIS TRACK IS FIRE
	10:45pm Mido: THX EFD

	10:50pm efd: probably no Sylvester tonight since I played him pretty recently. And sorry, Michael ftLC but no CHA either. :(
	10:52pm Dave in SoDak: Wasn't Boney M German? Or am I imagining things...?
	10:52pm Mr. Pumpy: You're lighting my world on fire.
	10:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Are these all on vinyl? Either way...they are fucking killing me. I just ate the last of the shrooms...and me likey.
	10:56pm Weems: Jimmy Bo Horn. That means you're playing that Dorothy Moore track next!
	10:56pm efd: yep, all vinyl Mr. Pumpy!
	10:56pm efd: HAHA! Good guess, Weems - but wrong! :D
	10:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Hell yes! Sounds killer.
	10:57pm efd: she's coming though
	10:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: You're right, Dave. It was known as West Germany back then. I was going to spout out that they were Dutch, but luckily, I checked the internet for references and it says they're from Bonn.
	10:58pm Mr. Pumpy: No joke...having a little shroomcation...and it's all good. I'm a big time vinyl guy as well...so even better. Thanks man.
	11:00pm Dave in SoDak: @Ken I thought so. My sis spent a year at the Goethe Institute and brought an album back. Thought, "so exotic! deutsches disco!"
	11:07pm Weems: D Train. Uh oh here comes the WNYU Tiffany mix! Then get some Teena Marie on.
