	9:14pm PatrickMC: wow! tasty choice from a great, underrated sophomore effort by the Beat
	9:14pm mariano: Go Kate! Love this Beat song.

	9:15pm PatrickMC: Saxa!
	9:15pm Krull Sagan: Hey E “F” D & magickal ones! Needing this show right now Mariano, saw your horrifying visage for a grand total of 0.5 seconds during last night’s annual watching
	9:15pm Barkevious Shabazz: Wha'ppen was always my fave Beat reckit.
	9:16pm van chinski: This is all very, very necessary.
	9:16pm Nick: Thanks for this! I am an original WNYU New Afternoon Show listener. The show was One of the best things that happened in high school!
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: Sounds fantastic, efd, and your mic break was sharp! Hey, Krull! Happy Wednesday!
	9:17pm PatrickMC: Haven't heard this song since probably the New Afternoon Show. headboys?
	9:17pm Julie M: Hi Evan, enjoying the show. Don't be stressed out, I know, I just KNOW your listeners forgive you for any glitches, perceived or not
	9:17pm Krull Sagan: Handy, sounds like you have a party on your hands!
	9:18pm Gaylord Fields: I wonder if The (English) Beat were managed by Mike LaFontaine.
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: I remember nothing of The Headboys but this is a kick-ass track.
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Krull, I'm sort of the "every day is Saturday to a dog" of people. But Wednesday nights are precious to us, listening-wise.
	9:18pm Barkevious Shabazz: This is a Ruts-Babylon's Burnin kinda show.
	9:19pm mariano: Always happy to oblige, Krull ;)
	9:19pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Kat! Kate and I just said the same thing! Also: hi, Kat!
	9:19pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Handy! Hi Kate! Hi errybody!
	9:20pm Krull Sagan: Handy, that sounds about as close to enlightenment as I can imagine
	9:20pm PatrickMC: I'm holding out hope for a Department S appearance
	9:21pm ultradamno: Splodge!
	9:22pm ultradamno: Any Newtown Neurotics on tap?
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: I have a good role model, Krull.
	9:23pm CC: Is this where we come to listen to songs that are socially profound???...:)
	9:23pm Nick: Waiting for” Hypno-Beat “ with the Station ID during the music break
	9:23pm wfmu listener phillip: that song by the head boys is to be a dis intro song. anyone remember Bob westphal on WFDU?
	9:24pm efd: wow Nick, you ARE an original New Afternoon Show listener! You're gonna make me go across the hall and get that record, aren't you.
	9:24pm ultradamno: @CC Well, we did kick off with GoF...
	9:24pm Gaylord Fields: Good heavens, this never fails to take me back to my college days and the New Afternoon Show! I half-expect efd to break in with an underwriting announcement for 99 Records.
	9:24pm kwhitehead: Nostalgia machine in full motion.
	9:25pm Handy Haversack: efd, listener morphe' is likely in bed now since he's in Spain at this point, but he mentioned today that he found WFMU while scanning for your NYU show in I think he said '80.
	9:26pm CC: Nostalgia is relative... it all depends on how old you are!!!...:)
	9:27pm listener 126464: dance party!
	9:27pm PatrickMC: Who'll be delivering the "weather fortune"? (Ding-dong!)
	9:27pm Gaylord Fields: Ah, the good ol' days when bands like Wah! and Spizz would change their name to some variant after every release.
	9:28pm ?: Headboys, YES!
	9:30pm wfmu listener phillip: EXCUSE ME! mister "funk" I was a listener to WNYU's "new afternoon show" since 1985.
	9:30pm Chris: First time I heard the Professionals was when my local public station, WAIF, was having a fund drive back in '82. I taped most of the show and wore that cassette out.
	9:33pm patrick321: Listening to the chorus of "Remember" we renamed it "Green Amber" because it sounded like that, tho we have no idea if that's a thing or what it might mean.
	9:33pm CC: Sometimes it helps to get reved up over nothing!!!...:)
	9:33pm John: Hey Evan! It is the New Afternoon Show all over again, in all the best ways. For a couple years there I could only hear it on vacations from college, so a random Wednesday in October would have been a special event indeed. Not unlike this!
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: "You think we should go with Flock of Budgies?" "I think it should go up his arse!"
	9:34pm DThomas: Fun show tonight. Thanks Evan.
	9:34pm cvh: 90.1fm seems to have gone silent :(
	9:34pm Nick: Listener Philip, not to flex on you but I have cassette recordings I made of the show in 1981.
	9:35pm Tommy in Neversink: 90.1 just went down
	9:35pm ultradamno: Fun fact: a group of seagulls is a colony, not a flock. www.reference.com...
	9:36pm patrick321: I did not get to the laptop soon enough to say kudos/thx for starting with the great 7" of damaged goods.
	9:36pm Tommy in Neversink: 90.1 is back
	9:36pm efd: thx for the 90.1 reports, passing them along to the authorities
	9:36pm Steve from Dunwoody: Frequently modulating, indeed.
	9:37pm mariano: Really like this Seagulls, never heard it before.
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 and 91.9 both strong in north Brooklyn.
	9:38pm CC: Ultradamno... I think they are only a flock when they are flying together??....:)
	9:38pm Tommy in Neversink: Killer show !
	9:38pm cvh: like Tommy in Neversink said, it seems 90.1 fm is back again.... it was a very short outage!
	9:38pm mariano: Web stream is like that of a young thoroughbred's urinary tract.
	9:39pm cvh: @mariano -- hahahahahah!
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: Digging the Bill Nelson
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: It notes in the form that the stream is on Lasix!
	9:41pm ultradamno: I believe a collection of albums by the band Budgie is a flock though.
	9:43pm luka: yoof coo
	9:43pm Chop Scott: Good Wednesday Evening EFD! Finally have the editing headphones off my head.
	9:44pm PatrickMC: Kleenex!
	9:45pm van chinski: This is so good.
	9:45pm diciassette: "and then there are those who are BORN Italian"
	9:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dern right I wanna buy a bridge.
	9:46pm JOYofit: fuckin love this band
	9:46pm Krull Sagan: Mariano, new meaning to “taking the piss”
	9:48pm kwhitehead: Do the Method! Blazing.
	9:48pm PatrickMC: Athens calling
	9:48pm wfmu listener phillip: are we going to hear any "sugarcubes" or "bark psychosis" how about "palvo" or "dub narcotic sound system" or "Tricky" or "steinsky vs mass media"
	9:48pm ultradamno: I guess changing their name to Puffs was out of the question.
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: Method Actors pre-clicky-starred
	9:49pm ultradamno: I'm for Sugarcubes...
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: This is so good. Athens made growing up in Georgia tolerable.
	9:50pm efd: @phillip you're about 5-6 years outside of the zone for this show :)
	9:50pm wfmu listener phillip: birthday by the sugar cubes. or the "coldsweat" remix please. mister FUNK
	9:51pm Kat in Chicago: I came thisclose to going to UGA in '77
	9:51pm mariano: Such a great song, "Do the Method."
	9:51pm PatrickMC: need Pylon
	9:51pm phat: I love new wave.
	9:53pm ultradamno: How about KUKL?
	9:55pm diciassette: I second the Pylon motion!
	9:56pm Kat in Chicago: I don't remember that Naughty Sweeties either, but it was pretty great
	9:57pm PatrickMC: Nick cash lives
	9:58pm Bootsie: I don't remember hearing that in the '80s, either, but I guess I heard you play it before because I already clicky-starred it!
	9:59pm ultradamno: It's funny you're playing a track from this album, I just dug out my cassette copy of it recently. Great stuff twitter.com...
	10:00pm Michael from the Left Coast: anyone ever see Secret Affair live? Were they good? I never saw them
	10:01pm Eddy in Australia: Pylon and Mo-dettes just around the corner ...
	10:02pm John: Thought I was the only one who loved this Secret Affair record! That whole third album was fantastic.
	10:03pm PatrickMC: Jimmy Lydon & the lads yea!
	10:03pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, skeleton, Gaylord, Medson Man, Handy, 126464, is that Marisha?!, one and all!!
	10:04pm spodiodi: aloha, EFD and everyone! i heard the eFD'S are rocking tonight :)
	10:04pm listener 126464: Think it's gonna be Jo Boxers followed by Dislocation Dance.
	10:04pm medson: Good evening Hoboken Jack.
	10:05pm listener 126464: Cheers Jack!
	10:05pm PatrickMC: Monochrome Set sooooon
	10:08pm van chinski: omg
	10:08pm Handy Haversack: Hey there, Jack! Do you have plans 4-7:30 PM any day soon? I know what I'm doing!
	10:09pm Kat in Chicago: Way to go, Evan!
	10:09pm D: Are you Weemes? How’s Pablo Dugan?
	10:09pm Handy Haversack: Splicin'!
	10:10pm listener 126464: Power Stance!
	10:11pm Weems: Damn funk, needed more advance notice !
	10:11pm Handy Haversack: @efd: Kate insists I tell you how adorable you are since no one else is stepping up to say it.
	10:11pm VespaJack: I loved NAS on WNYU. When I first came to NYC in 1980 I couldn't get FMU but could listen to you. I loved it. Mary Wing was spinning some '80's this afternoon. Very great.
	10:11pm PatrickMC: Where is Naomi. Loved Pablo's show
	10:11pm Ike: At some point they rolled the end of it back from 7:30 to 7:00 but I hardly ever listen anyway because neither their FM signal (in southern Brooklyn) nor their stream works very well.
	10:12pm patrick321: Really enjoying this.
	10:12pm Ike: ("It" being the New Afternoon Show, of course.)
	10:12pm Nick: Is that another original NAS DJ posting!?
	10:12pm PatrickMC: now we're gettin into it. fingerprintz
	10:13pm efd: sorry Weems, give me your cell number and I'll text you next year!
	10:14pm patrick321: @listener 126etc thumbs up for Dislocation Dance
	10:14pm listener 126464: The Fleshtones latest record is out on the Yep Roc label 10/24.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: @Ike I'm surprised their stream is as bad as it is. I try to catch Beats in Space live on Tuesdays once in a while but it isn't always working when I do.
	10:17pm Kat in Chicago: It is pretty amazing that the "New" Afternoon Show still exists.
	10:17pm AS from MP: just prior to corona shutdown, late Feb or early March driving home one evening here in north Jersey tuned into 89.1 I was listening to a great set, and then this exuberant and youthful DJ came on to back announce, the one and only Evan Funk Davies - circa '81 or '82? I wish I could recall some selections, they were pretty damn good
	10:18pm Michael from the Left Coast: I forgot about this Afraid of Mice record--it's really good
	10:19pm HesperusWrecked: "Funk—Where rhythm is life and life is rhythm, man!"
	10:19pm Weems: Tuned in for Secret Affair and the WNYU promo! Too tired though. Will catch the on demand version in hopes of hearing Dexys, Bureau, The Gas, Chords,
	10:20pm PatrickMC: Time for Searchin' For The Young Soul Rebels
	10:20pm Weems: And there it is! Thanks!
	10:21pm Gaylord Fields: @listener 126464: The next time I see the Fleshtones perform (fingers crossed), I will have seen them play in six different decades!
	10:21pm patrick321: Dexy's Dance Stance/Burn It Down — single or LP version?
	10:22pm efd: Weems, I've got a couple of promos of yours here, will play one of 'em in a little bit
	10:24pm Jeezy: Wow. Each track is a revelation. Yet another EFD show of pure genius!
	10:24pm herb.nyc: Just tuned in. I passed by Weinstein Hall earlier today. I shoulda stopped by wnyu; I was at its loeb ctr site once. Ahhh the good old days (they were terrible!).
	10:24pm Eddy in Australia: Clapham South Escalators should be followed by Up the Junction by Squeeze!
	10:25pm dave miss: Great show EFD!
	10:25pm listener 126464: Let's hope that happens Gaylord.
	10:25pm listener 126464: Thanks again for that burner efd.
	10:26pm PatrickMC: Hypno!
	10:26pm PatrickMC: Positive Noise must follow. Must
	10:27pm Aitch: dynamic hepnotics used to play at a bar i worked in 1983, Riptides too EFD. You'd have got a mongrel
	10:28pm Nick: Yes!
	10:28pm D: Sound of the crowd. Fuel to the fire. Poppas got a bran new pig bag
	10:28pm mariano: Hepnobeat's got almost a New Orleans second-line beat.
	10:29pm Elvin: So funny that PatrickMC suggested Positive Noise, I was also thinking of them. And how about Manicured Noise.
	10:29pm Bootsie: OH wow, I thought that was Oingo Boingo
	10:29pm PatrickMC: Nice! now i'm back in '81!
	10:30pm Kat in Chicago: Accurate, mariano. I was thinking that would be right at home on the Sheena's stream.
	10:30pm listener 126464: wavelengths
	10:31pm PatrickMC: what a trip this show is
	10:32pm D: Has Timmy Summer’s throat healed up
	10:32pm PatrickMC: I feel the same as when i listen to Cousin Brucie on Sat night on WABC
	10:32pm Julie M: Aw, thanks, efd.
	10:33pm efd: hey folks! A reminder that our HELLRAISER fundraiser is in progress, and I'd love to see some pledges roll in during the show tonight! I'm at 50% of my goal, can you get me to 65% by the end of the show? Use the banner at the top left, or just click this link: pledge.wfmu.org...
	10:33pm efd: and many thanks to everyone who's already pledged!
	10:34pm Elvin: I was in school in Philly in the late 70s/early 80s listening to WKDU from Drexel University. Does anyone else remember them?
	10:34pm sufferwords: “elect black communist surgeons in case you need one” John Cale
	10:35pm patrick321: Dougie Bowne, later of Lounge Lizards, on drums in this John Cale.
	10:35pm efd: here comes the SCREEEEEEAAAAMMMMM!!
	10:35pm Barkevious Shabazz: Elvis-Cathy Cummings, Lloyd Forcellini,
	10:35pm PatrickMC: fantastic record, haven't heard in 40 years.
	10:36pm efd: @patrick per the sleeve it's Robert Medici on drums here
	10:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: Elvin.
	10:36pm Julie M: I'm ready for WAR! Target visibility ZerOOOOOOO!
	10:37pm patrick321: You're right Evan I see different personnel on the 7"
	10:37pm D: I always am Forst a NYY fan and always disliked Bean town. But I have matured. Thanks to you. Mission of Burma. Louis Miami and the cosmetics. J.Goles best love band ever thanks E
	10:41pm PatrickMC: Y Records
	10:41pm van chinski: Was hoping to hear Pigbag tonight.
	10:41pm Rtintera: Where can I get the positive noise stuff?
	10:42pm Bootsie: This is so great but I'm not gonna last...
	10:42pm listener 126464: Last I heard it's still played at MSG during commercial breaks at NY Ranger games.
	10:43pm Handy Haversack: @Rtintera: www.discogs.com...
	10:43pm Ike: @Elvin, I almost always listen(ed) to WKDU whenever driving through Philly. Best station there as far as I could tell from my dial scans.
	10:45pm Rtintera: @handy thanks
	10:45pm HesperusWrecked: My family thought I lost it when I stood up during a World Cup broadcast and yelled "Pigbag!!!"
	10:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dag, you cut off Fascist Groove Thang.
	10:47pm Handy Haversack: I would be complete if anyone ever told me I was their funky favorite of the week!
	10:47pm Bootsie: I so, so, SO wish there was an NYU (and FDU!) archive somewhere...
	10:48pm patrick321: Donna Esposito!
	10:48pm efd: sharp ears, barkevious! We may hear it later (though I was leaning toward "At The Height Of The Fighting")
	10:48pm D: I have all those shoes from 89.1 on cassettes. Just Sayin
	10:48pm PatrickMC: forgot about this one
	10:49pm PatrickMC: Feelin like some Individuals
	10:49pm Stevel: efd: Betting you approve the drumming on You're So Cool. Sounds like fun to play, and I really can't play drums.
	10:51pm listener 126464: with you on that PatrickMC
	10:51pm Frank Verplanck: I remember listening to a young EFD on WNYU over my Kenwood receiver on my Cerwin Vega speakers that I bought at Crazy Eddie. My salad days, too!
	10:54pm Julie M: Ah, yes. Stranglers. And Crazy Eddie.
	10:54pm PatrickMC: RIP Dave Greenfield
	10:54pm Frank Verplanck: What ever became of your stablemate over there, Hugh, with the deep voice?
	10:54pm kwhitehead: RIP Dave Greenfield. I loved his baroque stylings.
	10:55pm Weems: Geez I haven’t heard the Sizzling Hot Summer Oldies promo in...39 years. Precursor to Mod Monday!
	10:56pm PatrickMC: nona. very cool. Had to be this or Bustin Out
	10:56pm Bootsie: @D very cool! I have some bits 'n' pieces. Also from LIR
	10:57pm Dana from Hoboken: Tnaks for Richard Strange. Been on my actual jukebox for years. No one plays it except me. But I remember well when I grabbed the 2nd copy from WUSB 'cause it was so damn cool!
	10:58pm Stevel: Such a fascinating time in rock and roll. The gates were wide open for artistic and commercial experimentation. Weirdos threatened to become rock stars.
	11:01pm sufferwords: Someone told me that stimulants were popular amongst the wild set during this era- I was there but curiously can’t remember anything
	11:02pm listener 126464: Funky Zoo!
	11:02pm Weems: Didn’t Nona do a concert at Loeb? You could play the original track on the disco show
	11:05pm efd: man, I don't remember Nona Hendryx playing Loeb but it's certainly possible!
	11:05pm PatrickMC: Heaven17 should have been bigger than Human League, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Spandau ...
	11:06pm Bootsie: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
	11:07pm PatrickMC: Best show i saw at Loeb was a double dose of Boston garage -- Neats/Lyres
	11:07pm Bill K: Stiv!!!!
	11:10pm efd: honestly surprised that in 7 months of doing shows from home that's the first time I lifted the tonearm off a record that was playing on the air.
	11:11pm mariano: Remember Stiv's performance in John Waters' "Polyester"? He and his punk friends go trick-or-treating at Divine's mother's house and when she tells them to buzz off he says "No treats means DEATH!"
	11:11pm PatrickMC: sweet. Individuals are another band that should have broke big on the college radio/club circuit.
	11:12pm mariano: Here, very much in the spirit of the show, watch with the volume down: www.youtube.com...
	11:13pm Julie M: Hee. I thought the tone arm thing was an internet glitch. You could have got away with it.
	11:13pm Aitch: He's crazy in the coconut.
	11:13pm PatrickMC: Oh wow, what was this, the Rochester scene?
	11:14pm Bootsie: YES I LOVE this New Math track!
	11:14pm Alex: New math!!!!!
	11:14pm Eddy in Australia: Evan, do you have a second turntable at home now?
	11:14pm Keith: I never figured out how to spell "Djolution" and still don't know how.
	11:14pm Alex: This show is the best! Thanks Evan for a walk through my youth!
	11:14pm efd: @Eddy NO I DO NOT!
	11:14pm ultradamno: Stiv was tough but fair on the treats issue.
	11:16pm Weems: My homies! Do you have their Powe pop 45’s? Die Trying/Cant Get Off the Ground Older Women
	11:17pm efd: I don't! Will have to add to the wish list!
	11:17pm Eddy in Australia: That's what I thought (ref. annual Disco/Dance show), in which case how is the magic being done?!
	11:18pm D: Pablo. Killed it with Goo Goo Muck. By the Cramps and Gary Nueman Down in the Park. Classic
	11:19pm efd: @Eddy it's being done magically. ;)
	11:19pm John: Splash of Colour! Unsurprisingly, I was the only one in my immediate circles who bought into the 1981 psych revival.
	11:22pm Aitch: Has a very big clock
	11:22pm PatrickMC: This song always cracked me up
	11:23pm efd: little known fact: this song was inspired by Flavor Flav.
	11:24pm efd: *little known because it's patently false.
	11:24pm winofigments: Love that Polyrock album. Philip Glass is on it.
	11:24pm mariano: The video for "Romantic Me" blew my mind when I was 10 or so. I read that the main guy from Polyrock, Billy Robertson, lived in Red Hook and was a regular at Sunny's till he passed away in 2018. I wonder if I ever crossed paths with him completely unaware of who he was.
	11:25pm efd: @winofigments he co-produced it too
	11:25pm winofigments: yes and less involved by the second album
	11:26pm Scrappy: Love the Jamminess of The Chords
	11:27pm Mike Sin: Those late-‘70s mods loved dramatic anthems.
	11:27pm Stevel: mariano: THe vid in question. I've marked it for later. www.youtube.com...
	11:27pm ultradamno: I have that Polyrock record, didn't realize that about Glass. I know Eno worked with Urban Verbs though www.youtube.com...
	11:27pm Ciggy: Wow. I missed my WNYU-FM Afternoon Favorites. Love The Fleshtones, Theme from the Vidicators. Only one missing is the Simple Minds, "Theme for Great Cities"
	11:28pm winofigments: Oh man this was Rutgers 1981/2 for me. English Settlement. One of XTC's best.
	11:28pm PatrickMC: Or Simple Minds' 'I Travel"
	11:29pm Julie M: I make my exit from the comment board with appreciation for the Flavor Flav joke. But will listen for a little while, because it's been a great show and I'm really keen to know what's next. Thanks, Evan!
	11:29pm efd: Thanks for listening, Julie!
	11:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Mike Sin: So I gather that you don't think it's necessarily Time for Action, etc.
	11:29pm mariano: Thanks Stevel!
	11:33pm Eddy in Australia: @Mariano I lived nearby and used to see Billy from Polyrock, dapper in a suit, at Bait & Tackle on Van Brunt.
	11:34pm Eddy in Australia: @Mariano And I think he played a show at the record shop in the old 360 space?

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from October 14, 2020

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!

October 14, 2020: live from Studio E(FD), the Annual Punk/Post-punk/Power Pop/New Wave (W)NYU Throwback Show! part of our HELLRAISER FUNDRAISER!

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

It's my second show of this year's WFMU's HELLRAISER fundraiser, and once again it's time for me to attempt to recapture my misspent youth and present a reasonable facsimile of my college radio days across the river on WNYU’s New Afternoon Show 40 (!!!) years ago. Future classics and songs that might never have been heard again until now, all presented in a Top 40 style just like I used to do on WNYU's New Afternoon Show^* a long long time ago. You'll hear some of your old favorites and some others that'll become new faves instantly!

And while you're listening please take a moment to show your appreciation for WFMU and my show by making a pledge! If you've already pledged, THANK YOU! Your support is greatly appreciated.

Stay tuned for more special shows this month, and of course please take a moment to Like The Evan "Funk" Davies Show on Facebook and follow me on Twitter! Thank you.!

	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: I remember nothing of The Headboys but this is a kick-ass track.
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Krull, I'm sort of the "every day is Saturday to a dog" of people. But Wednesday nights are precious to us, listening-wise.

	9:24pm kwhitehead: Nostalgia machine in full motion.
	9:25pm Handy Haversack: efd, listener morphe' is likely in bed now since he's in Spain at this point, but he mentioned today that he found WFMU while scanning for your NYU show in I think he said '80.

	9:33pm patrick321: Listening to the chorus of "Remember" we renamed it "Green Amber" because it sounded like that, tho we have no idea if that's a thing or what it might mean.
	9:33pm CC: Sometimes it helps to get reved up over nothing!!!...:)
	9:33pm John: Hey Evan! It is the New Afternoon Show all over again, in all the best ways. For a couple years there I could only hear it on vacations from college, so a random Wednesday in October would have been a special event indeed. Not unlike this!
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: "You think we should go with Flock of Budgies?" "I think it should go up his arse!"
	9:34pm DThomas: Fun show tonight. Thanks Evan.

	9:35pm ultradamno: Fun fact: a group of seagulls is a colony, not a flock. www.reference.com...
	9:36pm patrick321: I did not get to the laptop soon enough to say kudos/thx for starting with the great 7" of damaged goods.
	9:36pm Tommy in Neversink: 90.1 is back
	9:36pm efd: thx for the 90.1 reports, passing them along to the authorities
	9:36pm Steve from Dunwoody: Frequently modulating, indeed.
	9:37pm mariano: Really like this Seagulls, never heard it before.
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 and 91.9 both strong in north Brooklyn.
	9:38pm CC: Ultradamno... I think they are only a flock when they are flying together??....:)
	9:38pm Tommy in Neversink: Killer show !
	9:38pm cvh: like Tommy in Neversink said, it seems 90.1 fm is back again.... it was a very short outage!
	9:38pm mariano: Web stream is like that of a young thoroughbred's urinary tract.
	9:39pm cvh: @mariano -- hahahahahah!
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: Digging the Bill Nelson
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: It notes in the form that the stream is on Lasix!

	9:48pm ultradamno: I guess changing their name to Puffs was out of the question.
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: Method Actors pre-clicky-starred
	9:49pm ultradamno: I'm for Sugarcubes...
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: This is so good. Athens made growing up in Georgia tolerable.
	9:50pm efd: @phillip you're about 5-6 years outside of the zone for this show :)
	9:50pm wfmu listener phillip: birthday by the sugar cubes. or the "coldsweat" remix please. mister FUNK

	10:09pm Handy Haversack: Splicin'!
	10:10pm listener 126464: Power Stance!
	10:11pm Weems: Damn funk, needed more advance notice !
	10:11pm Handy Haversack: @efd: Kate insists I tell you how adorable you are since no one else is stepping up to say it.
	10:11pm VespaJack: I loved NAS on WNYU. When I first came to NYC in 1980 I couldn't get FMU but could listen to you. I loved it. Mary Wing was spinning some '80's this afternoon. Very great.
	10:11pm PatrickMC: Where is Naomi. Loved Pablo's show
	10:11pm Ike: At some point they rolled the end of it back from 7:30 to 7:00 but I hardly ever listen anyway because neither their FM signal (in southern Brooklyn) nor their stream works very well.
	10:12pm patrick321: Really enjoying this.
	10:12pm Ike: ("It" being the New Afternoon Show, of course.)
	10:12pm Nick: Is that another original NAS DJ posting!?
	10:12pm PatrickMC: now we're gettin into it. fingerprintz
	10:13pm efd: sorry Weems, give me your cell number and I'll text you next year!
	10:14pm patrick321: @listener 126etc thumbs up for Dislocation Dance
	10:14pm listener 126464: The Fleshtones latest record is out on the Yep Roc label 10/24.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: @Ike I'm surprised their stream is as bad as it is. I try to catch Beats in Space live on Tuesdays once in a while but it isn't always working when I do.
	10:17pm Kat in Chicago: It is pretty amazing that the "New" Afternoon Show still exists.
	10:17pm AS from MP: just prior to corona shutdown, late Feb or early March driving home one evening here in north Jersey tuned into 89.1 I was listening to a great set, and then this exuberant and youthful DJ came on to back announce, the one and only Evan Funk Davies - circa '81 or '82? I wish I could recall some selections, they were pretty damn good
	10:18pm Michael from the Left Coast: I forgot about this Afraid of Mice record--it's really good
	10:19pm HesperusWrecked: "Funk—Where rhythm is life and life is rhythm, man!"
	10:19pm Weems: Tuned in for Secret Affair and the WNYU promo! Too tired though. Will catch the on demand version in hopes of hearing Dexys, Bureau, The Gas, Chords,
	10:20pm PatrickMC: Time for Searchin' For The Young Soul Rebels
	10:20pm Weems: And there it is! Thanks!
	10:21pm Gaylord Fields: @listener 126464: The next time I see the Fleshtones perform (fingers crossed), I will have seen them play in six different decades!
	10:21pm patrick321: Dexy's Dance Stance/Burn It Down — single or LP version?
	10:22pm efd: Weems, I've got a couple of promos of yours here, will play one of 'em in a little bit
	10:24pm Jeezy: Wow. Each track is a revelation. Yet another EFD show of pure genius!
	10:24pm herb.nyc: Just tuned in. I passed by Weinstein Hall earlier today. I shoulda stopped by wnyu; I was at its loeb ctr site once. Ahhh the good old days (they were terrible!).
	10:24pm Eddy in Australia: Clapham South Escalators should be followed by Up the Junction by Squeeze!
	10:25pm dave miss: Great show EFD!
	10:25pm listener 126464: Let's hope that happens Gaylord.
	10:25pm listener 126464: Thanks again for that burner efd.
	10:26pm PatrickMC: Hypno!
	10:26pm PatrickMC: Positive Noise must follow. Must
	10:27pm Aitch: dynamic hepnotics used to play at a bar i worked in 1983, Riptides too EFD. You'd have got a mongrel
	10:28pm Nick: Yes!
	10:28pm D: Sound of the crowd. Fuel to the fire. Poppas got a bran new pig bag
	10:28pm mariano: Hepnobeat's got almost a New Orleans second-line beat.
	10:29pm Elvin: So funny that PatrickMC suggested Positive Noise, I was also thinking of them. And how about Manicured Noise.
	10:29pm Bootsie: OH wow, I thought that was Oingo Boingo
	10:29pm PatrickMC: Nice! now i'm back in '81!
	10:30pm Kat in Chicago: Accurate, mariano. I was thinking that would be right at home on the Sheena's stream.
	10:30pm listener 126464: wavelengths
	10:31pm PatrickMC: what a trip this show is
	10:32pm D: Has Timmy Summer’s throat healed up
	10:32pm PatrickMC: I feel the same as when i listen to Cousin Brucie on Sat night on WABC
	10:32pm Julie M: Aw, thanks, efd.
	10:33pm efd: hey folks! A reminder that our HELLRAISER fundraiser is in progress, and I'd love to see some pledges roll in during the show tonight! I'm at 50% of my goal, can you get me to 65% by the end of the show? Use the banner at the top left, or just click this link: pledge.wfmu.org...
	10:33pm efd: and many thanks to everyone who's already pledged!
	10:34pm Elvin: I was in school in Philly in the late 70s/early 80s listening to WKDU from Drexel University. Does anyone else remember them?
	10:34pm sufferwords: “elect black communist surgeons in case you need one” John Cale
	10:35pm patrick321: Dougie Bowne, later of Lounge Lizards, on drums in this John Cale.
	10:35pm efd: here comes the SCREEEEEEAAAAMMMMM!!
	10:35pm Barkevious Shabazz: Elvis-Cathy Cummings, Lloyd Forcellini,
	10:35pm PatrickMC: fantastic record, haven't heard in 40 years.
	10:36pm efd: @patrick per the sleeve it's Robert Medici on drums here
	10:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: Elvin.
	10:36pm Julie M: I'm ready for WAR! Target visibility ZerOOOOOOO!
	10:37pm patrick321: You're right Evan I see different personnel on the 7"
	10:37pm D: I always am Forst a NYY fan and always disliked Bean town. But I have matured. Thanks to you. Mission of Burma. Louis Miami and the cosmetics. J.Goles best love band ever thanks E
	10:41pm PatrickMC: Y Records
	10:41pm van chinski: Was hoping to hear Pigbag tonight.
	10:41pm Rtintera: Where can I get the positive noise stuff?
	10:42pm Bootsie: This is so great but I'm not gonna last...
	10:42pm listener 126464: Last I heard it's still played at MSG during commercial breaks at NY Ranger games.
	10:43pm Handy Haversack: @Rtintera: www.discogs.com...
	10:43pm Ike: @Elvin, I almost always listen(ed) to WKDU whenever driving through Philly. Best station there as far as I could tell from my dial scans.
	10:45pm Rtintera: @handy thanks
	10:45pm HesperusWrecked: My family thought I lost it when I stood up during a World Cup broadcast and yelled "Pigbag!!!"
	10:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dag, you cut off Fascist Groove Thang.
	10:47pm Handy Haversack: I would be complete if anyone ever told me I was their funky favorite of the week!
	10:47pm Bootsie: I so, so, SO wish there was an NYU (and FDU!) archive somewhere...
	10:48pm patrick321: Donna Esposito!
	10:48pm efd: sharp ears, barkevious! We may hear it later (though I was leaning toward "At The Height Of The Fighting")
	10:48pm D: I have all those shoes from 89.1 on cassettes. Just Sayin
	10:48pm PatrickMC: forgot about this one
	10:49pm PatrickMC: Feelin like some Individuals
	10:49pm Stevel: efd: Betting you approve the drumming on You're So Cool. Sounds like fun to play, and I really can't play drums.
	10:51pm listener 126464: with you on that PatrickMC
	10:51pm Frank Verplanck: I remember listening to a young EFD on WNYU over my Kenwood receiver on my Cerwin Vega speakers that I bought at Crazy Eddie. My salad days, too!
	10:54pm Julie M: Ah, yes. Stranglers. And Crazy Eddie.
	10:54pm PatrickMC: RIP Dave Greenfield
	10:54pm Frank Verplanck: What ever became of your stablemate over there, Hugh, with the deep voice?
	10:54pm kwhitehead: RIP Dave Greenfield. I loved his baroque stylings.
	10:55pm Weems: Geez I haven’t heard the Sizzling Hot Summer Oldies promo in...39 years. Precursor to Mod Monday!
	10:56pm PatrickMC: nona. very cool. Had to be this or Bustin Out
	10:56pm Bootsie: @D very cool! I have some bits 'n' pieces. Also from LIR
	10:57pm Dana from Hoboken: Tnaks for Richard Strange. Been on my actual jukebox for years. No one plays it except me. But I remember well when I grabbed the 2nd copy from WUSB 'cause it was so damn cool!
	10:58pm Stevel: Such a fascinating time in rock and roll. The gates were wide open for artistic and commercial experimentation. Weirdos threatened to become rock stars.
	11:01pm sufferwords: Someone told me that stimulants were popular amongst the wild set during this era- I was there but curiously can’t remember anything
	11:02pm listener 126464: Funky Zoo!
	11:02pm Weems: Didn’t Nona do a concert at Loeb? You could play the original track on the disco show
	11:05pm efd: man, I don't remember Nona Hendryx playing Loeb but it's certainly possible!
	11:05pm PatrickMC: Heaven17 should have been bigger than Human League, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Spandau ...
	11:06pm Bootsie: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
	11:07pm PatrickMC: Best show i saw at Loeb was a double dose of Boston garage -- Neats/Lyres
	11:07pm Bill K: Stiv!!!!
	11:10pm efd: honestly surprised that in 7 months of doing shows from home that's the first time I lifted the tonearm off a record that was playing on the air.
	11:11pm mariano: Remember Stiv's performance in John Waters' "Polyester"? He and his punk friends go trick-or-treating at Divine's mother's house and when she tells them to buzz off he says "No treats means DEATH!"
	11:11pm PatrickMC: sweet. Individuals are another band that should have broke big on the college radio/club circuit.
	11:12pm mariano: Here, very much in the spirit of the show, watch with the volume down: www.youtube.com...
	11:13pm Julie M: Hee. I thought the tone arm thing was an internet glitch. You could have got away with it.
	11:13pm Aitch: He's crazy in the coconut.
	11:13pm PatrickMC: Oh wow, what was this, the Rochester scene?
	11:14pm Bootsie: YES I LOVE this New Math track!
	11:14pm Alex: New math!!!!!
	11:14pm Eddy in Australia: Evan, do you have a second turntable at home now?
	11:14pm Keith: I never figured out how to spell "Djolution" and still don't know how.
	11:14pm Alex: This show is the best! Thanks Evan for a walk through my youth!
	11:14pm efd: @Eddy NO I DO NOT!
	11:14pm ultradamno: Stiv was tough but fair on the treats issue.
	11:16pm Weems: My homies! Do you have their Powe pop 45’s? Die Trying/Cant Get Off the Ground Older Women
	11:17pm efd: I don't! Will have to add to the wish list!
	11:17pm Eddy in Australia: That's what I thought (ref. annual Disco/Dance show), in which case how is the magic being done?!
	11:18pm D: Pablo. Killed it with Goo Goo Muck. By the Cramps and Gary Nueman Down in the Park. Classic
	11:19pm efd: @Eddy it's being done magically. ;)
	11:19pm John: Splash of Colour! Unsurprisingly, I was the only one in my immediate circles who bought into the 1981 psych revival.
	11:22pm Aitch: Has a very big clock
	11:22pm PatrickMC: This song always cracked me up
	11:23pm efd: little known fact: this song was inspired by Flavor Flav.
	11:24pm efd: *little known because it's patently false.
	11:24pm winofigments: Love that Polyrock album. Philip Glass is on it.
	11:24pm mariano: The video for "Romantic Me" blew my mind when I was 10 or so. I read that the main guy from Polyrock, Billy Robertson, lived in Red Hook and was a regular at Sunny's till he passed away in 2018. I wonder if I ever crossed paths with him completely unaware of who he was.
	11:25pm efd: @winofigments he co-produced it too
	11:25pm winofigments: yes and less involved by the second album
	11:26pm Scrappy: Love the Jamminess of The Chords
	11:27pm Mike Sin: Those late-‘70s mods loved dramatic anthems.
	11:27pm Stevel: mariano: THe vid in question. I've marked it for later. www.youtube.com...
	11:27pm ultradamno: I have that Polyrock record, didn't realize that about Glass. I know Eno worked with Urban Verbs though www.youtube.com...
	11:27pm Ciggy: Wow. I missed my WNYU-FM Afternoon Favorites. Love The Fleshtones, Theme from the Vidicators. Only one missing is the Simple Minds, "Theme for Great Cities"
	11:28pm winofigments: Oh man this was Rutgers 1981/2 for me. English Settlement. One of XTC's best.
	11:28pm PatrickMC: Or Simple Minds' 'I Travel"
	11:29pm Julie M: I make my exit from the comment board with appreciation for the Flavor Flav joke. But will listen for a little while, because it's been a great show and I'm really keen to know what's next. Thanks, Evan!
	11:29pm efd: Thanks for listening, Julie!
	11:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Mike Sin: So I gather that you don't think it's necessarily Time for Action, etc.
	11:29pm mariano: Thanks Stevel!
	11:33pm Eddy in Australia: @Mariano I lived nearby and used to see Billy from Polyrock, dapper in a suit, at Bait & Tackle on Van Brunt.
	11:34pm Eddy in Australia: @Mariano And I think he played a show at the record shop in the old 360 space?
	11:35pm PatrickMC: Jack Casady! I saw SVT on a triple bill at the Palladium: The Jam/SVT/Dwight Twilley
	11:35pm listener 126464: SVT played at the dirt club.
	11:36pm PatrickMC: @listener 126464 Where was the dirt club?
	11:36pm Handy Haversack: Great show tonight, efd! What a fun ride! Thanks for all!
	11:36pm Elle Tor's Husband: Was wondering if SVT would make the cut! Great band. Brian Marnell was killer live. He colluded take a lead out around the moon and bring it back again. Ended up with Jim Carroll before ODing
	11:37pm Elle Tor's Husband: Colluded?
	11:37pm Ciggy: @listener Philip ~ I remember Bob Westphall for FDU. And the late Jim Reiken & Big Al.
	11:37pm listener 126464: P123- Bloomfield NJ
	11:38pm PatrickMC: Go4/Pylon were a deadly 1-2 punch live
	11:39pm D: PYLON. This is your sound
	11:40pm mariano: Oh wow, Eddy, that's cool. Wish I'd known!
	11:41pm Bootsie: @Ciggy Defective Jukebox and Big Al were my faves. I SO miss "old pal Jim!!"
	11:41pm Eddy in Australia: @Mariano As you said, you probably rubbed shoulders with him without realising it!
	11:42pm Somm Ben: Giving thanks to the Tubeway
	11:42pm Mike Sin: Maybe Tomorrow, Gaylord, Maybe Tomorrow.
	11:43pm Handy Haversack: Gotta crash out -- thanks, efd! Be well, all.
	11:43pm Bootsie: I think I'll need to listen to this entire show again tomorrow!
	11:45pm Ignore Function: Fun show. How close is this to what you would have actually played on college radio?
	11:45pm PatrickMC: thanks for the great trip tonight, efd, and for taking some requests!
	11:46pm patrick321: Mike Sin and Gaylord I was just typing Maybe Tomorrow after reading the anthem comment.
	11:49pm Kat in Chicago: Oh hell yes The American, forgot about this one.
	11:49pm efd: @Ignore Function it's a pretty accurate reproduction! Some of the same actual records, too!
	11:50pm PatrickMC: Another forgotten track. Every time i go to switch off, i stop
	11:50pm Ignore Function: Awesome.
	11:50pm mariano: 'Night Handy!
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: I danced to this one A LOT
	11:51pm PJ: What happened to Simple Minds? they were good up through Sparkle in the Rain.
	11:52pm patrick321: @efd Thanks I really enjoyed this. I was at Wash Sq 78-81 and am sure I heard your show many times without recalling it as such. 40 years. Keep 'em coming.
	11:52pm efd: thanks so much for listening, patrick!
	11:53pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD I think this is my favourite annual show, along with the kindasorta related Jimmy Mack tribute. Great listening. Thanks. Pledge coming ...
	11:54pm Gaylord Fields: Tjanks efd, for bringing me back to those halcyon days of sleeping between classes at Loeb and seeing Mykel Board at the NYU Bursar's Office.
	11:54pm listener 126464: Thanks efd and skeletors!
	11:54pm ultradamno: These guys were big time.
	11:54pm tracy in LA: wow....just caught the tail end...but will catch the other end soon. what fun
	11:55pm radioronan: First time I've been able to listen to this annual show in real time not on archive. Still just as great ! Thanks end. Thanks skeleton crew!
	11:55pm spodiodi: thanks, EFD! thanks, Skelllies! goodnight all

	11:59pm Bootsie: Yay, glad you got APB in there! I saw them in a little club in Banksville, NY back in the day...
	11:59pm Stashu really: I love this song thanks to you efd!!!!
	11:59pm Aitch: A+ EFD
	11:59pm Bootsie: Awesome show, thanks EFD!! G'night, all!
	11:59pm Ciggy: Saw APB at The Ritz circa '81. Had this song on the Library Bar jukebox. The kids hated it. Well, ignored it.
	11:59pm Bootsie: @Ciggy damn kids!
