The Evan "Funk" Davies Show:
Playlist

|
Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s: Rediscovering the forgotten rockers, revisiting the once-hated disco beats, replaying the power-pop favorites. Next: copious amounts of new releases and occasional live bands. Also: I’m the biggest Nick Gilder fan on WFMU.

Joe:
Hey Cecile! Welcome to hell. EFD I am very much liking the way this show is going. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:20pm
Cecile:
Oh, you are kidding me with this song. I haven't heard this since the 8-track that we played at Big Boy in 1979. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:21pm
Cecile:
And it was awesome until I cleaned one too many chicken fryers to it. I also can't listen to Blue Jay Way or Can't Get you OUt of my Head without twitching either. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:23pm
Your Old 8 Track:
I am now 79 feet under the surface of a landfill. But I was utterly, gloriously cool at the time. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:24pm
Cecile:
You brought me many happy hours, 8 track. Love the Sloan | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:25pm

Tue. 5/12/09 11:27pm
efd:

|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:27pm
Cecile:
I am not wagering against you, dave. | |
|

Ah! It's that time of year, is it? Guess I'll be making myself a sandich. God this song makes me hungry. | |

Tue. 5/12/09 11:33pm
Amanda:
Aw man, speaking of "that time of year," I missed E.L.'s birthday, right? It was yesterday? | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:36pm
E.L.:
Nope. It's happening now! | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:40pm
rachel jensen:
evan-- my birthday will be two months from 2nite,,,in other news toni daytona won't be back for a while she's taking care of brad,,,, | |

E.L.:
rachel— I marked my iCal. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:44pm
Amanda:
Yaaaay HB, E.L.! Tinted Windows could be for you considering your Hanson affiliations. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:45pm
Cecile:
you know, there were 2-3 tracks on James Iha's solo rec that were good | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:47pm
efd:
is that Tom G.? I think you may have confused Caissie's re-tweet of my tweet! She is not actually here. Hi Rachel, thanks for the Toni D update. Happy Birthday E.L.! | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:47pm
Joe:
I refuse to believe that. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:51pm
Cecile:
I hearded them. They were pretty good. Considering I didn't like Smashing Piumpkins that much. But is there anything that Adam Schlesinger doesn't do well? I gotta check out that record. | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:51pm
E.L.:
My (our) grudge with Hanson is over. It's funny hearing Bun E. Carlos and Robert Pollard back to back. They shared a ticket to one of the best shows I've ever seen. The Big Dipper/Boston Spaceships show would be in contention as well. This Thermals song K's the A. Thanks Amanda and EFD! | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:53pm
Tom:
Different Tom. Thanks. Tried to listen. Your website wouldn't let me! | |
|
Tue. 5/12/09 11:54pm
Cecile:
I remember that tour! It was pretty damn great. | |
|

|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:19am
E.L.:
You know the Midnight Ticket Oasis is a smash when Evan has trouble keeping up with the playlist. | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:22am
efd:
you got that right, E.L. I'd have thought a 9-minute song would have been enough! I could have used a few more minutes myself, brass monkey. | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:23am
Joe:
It takes alot to throw the man off his game. Davies, if you keep playing this Sole album, I'm gonna have to go out and buy it. Or make like Stingy D and smack it into my possession. | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:24am
brass monkey_01:
i want to use that for my power point demo. I think it would really tie the slide presentation format together and really nail it for me | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:27am
E.L.:
Is this Bob Log III related? | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:27am
rachel jensen:

|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:29am
efd:

Amanda:
That was so cute, the Radio City jam. Kind of Joe Jackson-y...? Nick Lowe-y? Name other things I enjoy, it reminds me of them. | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:47am
Joe:
Puppies! | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:49am
Amanda:
Aw! Red haired boys? | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:49am
E.L.:
Ha ha! And eating nice meals? Or was that rejected? | |
|
Wed. 5/13/09 12:57am
Amanda:
Nope, that was in there. And one of the remaining things I like (in the very small list), of course, is this very radio show. | |
|

Michael from the Left Coast:

Wed. 5/13/09 1:14am
efd:

|
Wed. 5/13/09 1:48am
