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.

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm joking or trolling. It's that bad.
This song was in an awesome commercial for a product I can't recall.

There's an old sport adage about a coach who can take his players and whoop your team and then turn around and take your players and whip his team. That's what Evan Funk is to DJing. Seriously if you drop Evan in a well and threw 50 random records down there, he'd come up with an awesome set list by the time you pulled him up in the bucket.
Loving the old Electric Company riff (or Sesame Street was it?)

From:
Danne D
When you're in the groove, EFD, it all works man. If there's a repeat in there it just means that that's a particularly damn good recordr :)
Tue. 5/5/09 11:54pm
From:
Deaconlight
Yes - if a song is really good - especially if it is a newer song. play it as much as you feel it should be played. It's your duty as a Tastemaker. Repeat plays can help band exposure.
Tue. 5/5/09 11:54pm
From:
Jessica
you could play whatever your ears desire week after week after week and we would doubltess be delighted.

Tue. 5/5/09 11:55pm

The bed music is a sample from the song "Saturday Night Live" by Lordz of Brooklyn.
Which in turn in is a sample from the guitar line from American Woman by The Guess Who.

No way, ?. I mean, it's two TOTALLY different bands!
The synth hook is driving me nuts. Does anyone know what it's from or was sampled by? Because it will seriously bother me.

Goodnight Rachel, and happy godmothering.

Nevermind, it was Kanye West. "Touch the Sky". Sampling Curtis Mayfield. Who I profess to be a huge fan of. I'm such a fucking poser.

sorry, oe.
Hi Russell, glad you're enjoying the show and thanks for commenting! I'm not quite sure what you mean by an OnDemand option per show...?
Wed. 5/6/09 12:52am
From:
C
Hey, Russell. Have you checked out the archives of the programs? I think they might be the on-demand function that you're referring to. If you click on "back to the evan 'funk' davies show playlists" link on the top of this page, you'll all of his archived shows. they do that for all the programs. good luck getting any work done for the next 6 months.
Wed. 5/6/09 12:53am
From:
Joe
They do, Mr. Lack! Each show is archived, often within hours of it being over. It's not quite podcasting, though some shows are offered in that format, as well.

click a show, any show. You will be rewarded.

Wed. 5/6/09 12:55am
From:
Danne D
no problem, efd :) Barre Ks is kinda meant as a triple sorta play on my pseudonym, strikeouts, and the band so it's all good.
Btw, I'm to e-mail you what I think is the most stellar idea regarding someone we both know and admire :)
Wed. 5/6/09 12:56am

haha. what are you the only one allowed to procrastinate over here?
Wed. 5/6/09 12:56am
From:
Russell Lack
EFD, C and Joe, thanks for the tips, was thinking more of a podcast format for listening on the move, but yes of course the WFMU online archive is also great. Got myself lost in Irene Trudel´s archive a couple of years ago, so look fwd to doing the same with this show...

i'm not sure it counts as russian roulette with the pet shop boys. i mean, spin the chamber, pull the trigger, you'll get what you've been getting for goin' on 25 years: the pet shop boys.

Russell, because of legal restrictions related to streaming we can't offer most music-based shows as podcasts. But, there are some alternatives - email me (evan at wfmu.org) and I can give you more info.

If the song fits in a particular set or has a great hook or theme that works from week to week don't worry about playing it several times over the course of a month. The song being one by Outrageous Cherry certainly helps as they are fantastic.
