Playlist for The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - March 24, 2009

Tuesdays 11pm - 2am on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

Listener comments!

Tue. 3/24/09 11:07pm From: Joe

Cactus?! More Bogert and Appice, plz.

I think this is setting the tone quite nicely.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:09pm From: efd

I think any band that Carmine Appice was in would work in this opening set.

Except maybe late-70s Rod Stewart.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:12pm From: Joe

You're a drummer... ever read his book?

Tue. 3/24/09 11:13pm From: Matt

This set is a MONSTER!

Tue. 3/24/09 11:16pm From: john

I think you'd just need to find the right version of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, on which I believe the aforementioned Mr. Appice gets co-writing credit. Vanilla Fudge, perhaps.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:17pm From: Challah

Wicked D'Awesome.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:19pm From: efd

Matt, if you like this set just wait til you hear Cyclone 60!

Joe, haven't read the book - have you?

Tue. 3/24/09 11:25pm From: Joe

Guy I used to work with was a multi-instrumentalist... said it was the best book on drumming he'd ever read.

Personally, I have trouble walking and talking at the same time without falling flat on my face... not exactly drummer material.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:26pm From: Matt

Bernard Purdie needs to do an audiobook or something.

He CARRIES that Steely Dan DVD.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:31pm From: john

Hey, that was at least two thundertrain fun facts!

Tue. 3/24/09 11:32pm From: Joe

Isn't Bernard Purdie the guy who said he played all of Ringo's drum parts?

Tue. 3/24/09 11:33pm From: Joe

AP-uh-CEE

Tue. 3/24/09 11:40pm From: doc

I can't wait to see them play Psychoaster Eureka on saturday (and the space helmet)

Tue. 3/24/09 11:41pm From: efd

You're right, John! I wasn't thinking that was a two-in-one!

Tue. 3/24/09 11:42pm From: Joe

don't forget the smoke machine.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:42pm From: efd

if only we'd done the session today! apparently the film crew had a smoke machine here earlier.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:44pm From: Joe

compliments to the photographer, EFD. Pics are totally dope.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:45pm From: efd

ooh, thanks for reminding me to add a credit - photos were taken by Angeline Espino.

Tue. 3/24/09 11:47pm From: Joe

YES

Wed. 3/25/09 12:12am From: efd

i would just like to call everyone's attention to the gorgeous blue Vistalites in the photos at the top of the playlist. Now those are DRUMS.

Wed. 3/25/09 12:14am From: Joe

Wooooo!

*scattered applause and hoots*

Wed. 3/25/09 12:34am From: Amanda

So quiet in here. Is everyone's internet down, too?

Set killed. I'm glad I resisted the urge to put on my Vanilla Fudge album.

Wed. 3/25/09 12:37am From: efd

Hi Amanda, and thanks! My theory is that Cyclone 60 left everyone too stunned to type.

Wed. 3/25/09 12:39am From: Joe

Well, I was going to make a serial killer joke about the studio phones being dead, but I didn't want to appear to be monopolizing the comments board.

You know, until that opening set, I didn't realize it, but now I'm very much of the opinion that Mr. Fiberglass is simply the reincarnation of Jim Bogert, wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Wait, he's still alive. Who was the guy who got machine gunned?

Wed. 3/25/09 12:53am From: C

Was Ultimate Realistic Rock the book you guys were talking about earlier? Sorry I missed it. Would it be good for a beginner or is it more geared towards seasoned drummers?

Wed. 3/25/09 12:58am From: Danne D

EFD out causing insomnia again :)
Good job as always, sir.
-DD

Wed. 3/25/09 12:59am From: Joe

Yo C-

Yeah that's the book, like I said, I'm not a drummer, and I haven't read it, however the person who I know -did- read it apparently used it to supplement his beginner lessons. He was also a pretty particular guy in general, and the book is still in print, so I'd imagine it's as solid as they come.

Bonus: Amazon review says "It was innovative---cutting edge, and also appealed to a wide range of students ranging from relative beginners to experienced set players."

God bless you drummers and your crazy flailing.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:01am From: C

Cool! Thanks, Joe. I might check it out. Sounds like a winner.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:03am From: Joe

No problem.

Must... resist... Eno... Tiger Mountain... pun...

Wed. 3/25/09 1:04am From: efd

Tyler - check your email.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:10am From: Danne D

I have visuals of animatronic mops and buckets marching all around FMU now :D

Wed. 3/25/09 1:10am From: Amanda

Yay yay yay I am going to see A.C. Newman in Brooklyn this Sunday. Joe, I keep trying to think of good joke answers to your machine-gun question but they are not forthcoming.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:18am From: Joe

I got scared for a minute that I made that up in my head - but Wikipedia confirms that Rusty Day, the lead singer of Cactus, was actually machine gunned to death by the guitarist in his band after a coke deal gone bad. Not fun, but definitely a rockstar way to go out. Might make my top 5.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:21am From: Joe

Not to.. um... make myself suspect...


but it's actually "Taylor" Hanson.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:22am From: efd

Duly noted, Joe.

In more ways than one.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:24am From: Joe

Ohhhh man, you got me good.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:25am From: Amanda

That burn is going in my Top 5 rockstar ways for Joe to go out.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:28am From: stingy d

let's all go to the clemente soto velez cultural center on april 4th!!!

Wed. 3/25/09 1:50am From: efd

I don't get it... what's happening there then?

Wed. 3/25/09 1:53am From: Joe

Something sweet, if it's got Stingy D involved.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:55am From: Amanda

I was considering just going there and seeing if you all showed up.

Wed. 3/25/09 1:57am From: efd

ha!

Wed. 3/25/09 1:58am From: Joe

No, the official EFD fan-club meet up is this saturday at the Delancey at 10pm! Be there or be square!

good show, Davies, good show

Wed. 3/25/09 2:01am From: efd

thanks Joe and all! Good night!

Mon. 3/30/09 8:11am From: AZ Jim

Hey Evan, Thanks for the Moon Martin! I think it sounded alot more new wave in '79, but it's still good. Cheers! Jim
