	9:13pm fleep: [surfacing] TV on mute greetings, everyone.
	9:14pm medson: same here TV muted watching game 7
	9:19pm Julie M: Ah, I usually have tv muted but tonight with earplugs for the radio and tv full. Game 7 World Series, and two live sets on Evan's show. Wow.
	9:21pm Stevel: "Tears that you cry. "
	9:21pm Stevel: Julie M: Your commitment is inspiring.
	9:23pm Julie M: Actually, Stevel, I like having the radio right in my ear but I can still hear and see the baseball game, so yeah...
	9:24pm efd: Live set from DC/Durham/Brooklyn's own Paranoid Style coming up shortly, then Proper Ornaments live set in about an hour! Whee!!
	9:25pm medson: Cant wait for the live sets
	9:29pm Stevel: What is the name of this set's vibe? Proto-hair-metal-disco-new wavers? Hopefully not. It all hung together very well.
	9:30pm BronwynB: whatever it is i love it. i love anything that sounds like that. does that sound in fact have a name? hmmm
	9:30pm listener 126464: i was brewery hopping in durham last week
	9:33pm medson: Aerial were Canadian as far as the internet is concerned
	9:34pm Mike Sin: Out in California listening to you live (while watching the World Series on mute) -- looking forward to the live sets!
	9:36pm efd: hi Mike, good to see you here! medson, thanks for that info! I met my CanCon requirement without even knowing it!
	9:37pm Stevel: Thinking I'm loving Paranoid Style, right out of the gate! Fort Wayne. On your way to anywhere, pretty much. Just saying.
	9:37pm medson: @efd yes you did
	9:42pm Joe R.: It was before my time in Milwaukee but Bad Boy featured the original Cheap Trick vocalist, Xeno http://bit.ly/2gTTfyy
	9:42pm A.T.F.: Who writes the lyrics in TPS..?
	9:44pm Julie M: A little Velvets combined with Bongwater?
	9:44pm Fuzzy: I'm searching for my Bongwater...
	9:45pm efd: interesting, thanks Joe R.! A.T.F. I always assume (sometimes incorrectly) that the singer writes the lyrics. I am pretty sure that's the case with Paranoid Style, but not positive. and I didn't ask that during the interview.
	9:48pm medson: This is a rockin set
	9:48pm efd: They're really good! I wish they played out more.
	9:49pm medson: Must have been great to watch this live
	9:49pm efd: Their full-length from last year was in my 2016 Best Of, just btw.
	9:50pm Mark from Bushwick: shit, I lived in Milwaukee from 77 to 83, and I remember Bad Boy being pushed on the local Rock station wqfm, but that's all I recall. I think I didn't like them, too mainstream, probably, (I was in art school there at the time.) I'm liking Paranoid Style
	9:51pm Stevel: Definitely great! I see they're doing a short (humane) west southern tour (Arizona on the 3rd, back to NOLA on the 9th. http://www.bar-none.com/tour-dates/
	9:52pm efd: They seem to be very Straight Ahead '70s Rock, which I was not into so much at the time myself but it sounds good to me now! I picked up another LP of theirs too, both at the same used shop. Not sure if the Cheap Trick guy is on either of them.
	9:58pm Mark from Bushwick: I did hear the cut at the top of the show, sorta,( I was doing stuff in my woodshop) and, I was about to switch to listening to an archive, but the first set of your show kept me listening. I'll have to re-listen to Bad Boy!
	9:59pm medson: Im disappointed I didn't know this band Just ordered their album though
	10:04pm efd: @Stevel I don't think those are Paranoid Style tour dates you saw
	10:06pm Stevel: efd: correct. Actually for Overlake. Good catch.
	10:06pm efd: of course this question is now out of date.
	10:11pm efd: drum nerd talk!
	10:13pm Kat in Chicago: just searched "Vistalite"
	10:17pm efd: my dream drums!
	10:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: Thought you were saying Mctrouble. Good song.
	10:27pm tuskandhusk: I feel like those drums look better then they sound
	10:28pm efd: they are not beloved by engineers, from what I understand.
	10:28pm efd: but they look A M A Z I N G
	10:29pm Mark from Bushwick: Now I remember- I just thought the name Bad Boy was incredibly incredibly dumb, so they couldn't be any good!
	10:31pm BriJet: Good evenin' y'all!!!
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: McTrouble sounds like a bad idea for a burger
	10:36pm Kat in Chicago: Just now leaving work :( will log back in at home. Fun show so far
	10:36pm efd: oof, thanks Kat!
	10:37pm efd: @Mark totally understandable reaction! It is a pretty dumb name... but that's kind of what caught my attention! :)
	10:45pm BriJet: I like this!!! So mellow and groovy!
	10:45pm P-90: Yes, groovy and mellow
	10:46pm BriJet: :)
	10:46pm Julie M: i like Proper Ornaments much. Wanted to go to bed early but the game was on and a cat jumped up on my lap and this band is great. All good tonight.
	10:50pm efd: @Julie this is the last song so you might be able to get to bed soon :)
	10:52pm Julie M: Ha. Now I'm trapped by the convergence of cat on lap, and Game 7 (which might already be decided but who knows), and the anticipation of what efd will play next. I liked The Paranoid Style too, for the record!
	10:57pm sim: I like this groove
	11:12pm Stevel: How is Ted Leo not larger? Everything is good!
	11:13pm efd: well, he watches his diet pretty closely I think...
	11:26pm medson: Take the Courtney and Kurt
	11:29pm efd: Those were the first to go.
	11:29pm Clay: Off Broadway is another under-appreciated band in that Bad Boy/Cheap Trick/Pezband/Shoes zone. Same part of the country. They did two LPs on Atlantic. Sounding great, EFD!
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: Not surprised. No le poisson rouge this week?
	11:31pm efd: Hi Clay! Isn't it past your bedtime? :) I'm going to toss Fotomaker onto that same pile. Lovingly toss, I should add.
	11:31pm efd: No Le Poisson Rouge, Kat! Maybe next time.
	11:32pm Kat in Chicago: Yes, Clay should be asleep!
	11:33pm Kat in Chicago: I like this jam
	11:35pm Clay: Fotomaker, yes. Wally Bryson. That drifts into the Cleveland orbit ala Raspberries. Fringe mentions: Michael Stanley Band. Frank Yancovic, Glass Harp. Without Phil Keaggy, would life itself have been possible? Keep rocking'!
	11:37pm medson: Its been a long day good night all
	11:37pm Julie M: Aw, Evan, just say "Le Poisson Rouge" on air, apropos of nothing, and I can be released. And yes, how Clay can be up now is ponderous. Or Medson for that matter.
	11:37pm efd: 'night, Medson! Thanks for listening and checking in.
	11:38pm Clay: Night Meds!
	11:39pm Clay: Rust never sleeps!
	11:40pm medson: Same to you Pidge and Julie
	11:47pm herb.nyc: I did theater earlier so I missed The Paranoid Style. But I saw them at union hall fri night. Goooood show. RChristgau was there too.
	11:50pm Mister Dobalina: These guys played a week or two ago in BK I believe, missed the show. Whomp whomp.
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Yes, the Sparks set on Brian's show was amazing!
	11:54pm efd: I still can't believe they were here!!
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: lol thank you. now Julie can go to sleep
	11:59pm Julie M: Ahhh, I am released. Fun show, thanks, efd. And the game is final. I don't mind that it was Houston. Good night, good night.
	2:01am grtyvr: loved the show. thanks for the tunes....

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from November 1, 2017

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!
