The Evan "Funk" Davies Show:
Playlist
from June 23, 2009
View efd's profile
|
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.

|
Tue. 6/23/09 11:22pm
Joe:
Ah! Sorry. Whatever, screw -that- guy. Everybody knows drummers aren't funny. And Laurie, those songs were, without exception, much older than myself. | |

Tue. 6/23/09 11:50pm

No Nonsense Cop:
We got a call, threats made. Is everything ok here? | |
|
Tue. 6/23/09 11:52pm
Joe:
the "Fuck the World" is actually olllddd biker slang. You still sometimes see it on jackets and stuff. I'm sure they're pumped about being co-opted by internet nerds. | |

Joe:
from the wiki - Mark Lewis "Roman" Polansky (born June 2, 1956 in Paterson, New Jersey) is an American aerospace engineer and research pilot and a NASA astronaut. Polansky received the nickname "Roman" as a joke, because he shares a last name with director Roman Polansky. Yeesh. | |

|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:19am

At least 9? I'm still stuck on "How did it come to exist?" | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:20am
Sybil:
Ah, another souvenir! | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:21am

Sybil, that video is nuts! I'll have to check it out with sound later. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:22am

For a second I thought this might be a Hoagiefest song. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:23am

if Wawa actually did deliver, I might actually stop arguing with people as to whether or not it's better than QuikCheck. Because it's not. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:26am
dustin:
this singers voice sounds so much like Tom Verlaine... i like | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:27am

|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:27am
efd:
Rachel, you have to admit it looks pretty bad when combined with all the shattered Abba LPs I found when I got back from my vacation. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:28am
efd:
Dustin: or Brett Anderson...? :) | |

G:
Anyone confused by the 080 title -- It's not fractured Spanish, it's Catalan, a language spoken in a region of Spain. The capital of the region is -- wait for it -- Barcelona. Very closely related to Spanish. Le llei del plaer = The Law of Pleasure | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:34am

I didn't realize Frank Black produced that Art Brut album. Thanks for the info. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:36am
Sybil:
Thanks for the translation, G. I was quite stumped. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:43am
Joe:
"Secretly Canadian" - spectacular. Also, very much sounds like Blondie. It sounds 20 years old, in a good way. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:44am
Laurie:
The flash stream and also the mp3 128k stream keep rebuffering. It's not as bad now... In fact, it appears fine now. Knock on wood. | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:47am
efd:
thanks Laurie - anyone else having streaming problems? Or is it that Florida weather? | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 12:48am

|
Wed. 6/24/09 1:13am
G:
Yeah, at first I thought it was phonetic Spanish by the group, but then I saw Catala and remembered where Barcelona is. I guessed right that there'd be a Catalan-English dictionary online by now. In Spanish it would be "La ley del placer" | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 1:21am
Joe:
I asked Bobby Dylan I asked The Beatles I asked Timothy Leary but he couldn't help me either. | |

Wed. 6/24/09 1:54am
Laurie:
No biggie, Evan! Anyway, it's past my bedtime! Goodnight! | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 1:56am
efd:
Joe, I was wondering the same thing, albeit for different reasons. And speaking of Schadenfreude, how many runs have the Yankees scored in the last week? Three, maybe? | |
|
Wed. 6/24/09 1:58am
Joe:
You just earned yourself a fist-shake. *shakes fist* | |
