	9:27pm coelacanth∅: oh i thought it read "the stout"...and yes, please.
	9:27pm fleep: dale, the fire that is charring Rupert Murdoch's place is about four miles from here, tiny burnt pieces of very expensive real estate are falling on the ground outside
	9:28pm Alex of Chicago: I had to check, but there is a The Sours on discogs.

	9:50pm efd: yeah, there's some good stuff on there
	9:51pm Aitch: Saw OMD in 1984 (Sydney), getting old. Nice set EFD, all over the shop.
	9:52pm efd: I hear you Aitch, I saw them longer ago than that in NYC! :)
	9:53pm Sean B.: Nice. Being the general X'er that I is = I swear the other day I was wondering amidst this fun political climate we are forced to live In when someone would spin the anthem: Burma - Revolver. Nice. Nice. Triple nice.
	9:56pm Aitch: Seems quite a few of WFMU listeners are relatively senior. Not dead yet though, still doing it, still listening to all and sundry.
	9:58pm Alex of Chicago: not dead yet happens to be my motive
	9:59pm Aitch: Just give it a whirl mate
	10:02pm JakeGould: Late kudos to the DJ for the “Siouxsie and the Banshees!” That one track always sounds so perfectly 1980s to me. Thanks!

	10:06pm JakeGould: Screw vintage. I’m classic.
	10:07pm Aitch: Nicely retorted.
	10:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wow, the Dream Syndicate song is superb. I wonder if any mainstream station dare play it. Or it'll hang out on the fringes like WFMU.

	10:09pm efd: for serious
	10:09pm Ben London: Sounding good out in Seattle tonight!

	10:13pm Ben London: Alex- There's a little bit... I'd suggest eating at the 13 Coins while you're here. It closes on new year's day for good at the original location.
	10:14pm Alex of Chicago: thanks for the tip.
	10:15pm efd: hi Julie! Yeah, I thought that was a nice cover.
	10:19pm Aitch: This Destroyer guy, New Pornographers etc, just always nearly there, but not quite

	10:54pm Michael from the Left Coast: wow--Jesus and Mary Chain much?
	10:54pm Alex of Chicago: i'm not much of a record collector, but i do have one that has an etching of an image on one side. at least be creative if you're not going to use it all, i guess
	10:55pm medson: this sounds really good

	11:25pm Michael from the Left Coast: Macca currently on tour in Australia
	11:30pm Ben London: Sounds like the same organ player from the Boston albums.
	11:31pm Julie M: I like this set. I thought I was wrapping it up for the night, but it would be rude to walk away from the celebration...
	11:33pm Stevel: Great show. Worked late enough to hear the start. Now home and increasingly horizontal.
	11:34pm Michael from the Left Coast: Nervus Rex--and the 7 inch mix no less!
	11:35pm Stevel: You've captured a very odd pop vibe in this set. Not exactly sure what it is, but not troubled by my lack of understanding.
	11:36pm efd: @MftLC yeah, I just picked this up recently! Was happy to find the single to supplement the LP.
	11:36pm efd: welcome Stevel!
	11:37pm Michael from the Left Coast: the single is way better than the LP on this
	11:37pm Michael from the Left Coast: EFD--you do know Lauren is doing a Washington Squares at City Winery sometime soon
	11:43pm Michael from the Left Coast: Billy Ficca was the Washington Squares drummer (Bruce Paskow their guitarist, died some years ago)
	11:45pm Ben London: Tripwires!
	11:47pm efd: your homies!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 6, 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.

<-- 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!
