Playlist for The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - July 14, 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. 7/14/09 11:04pm From: Neil Armstrong

My fave track! Rockin!

Tue. 7/14/09 11:05pm From: Parq

Dang, good thing Joe Belock didn't play this.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:06pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

Is that one note for a man; one giant song for mankind?

Tue. 7/14/09 11:07pm From: Quoting

efd said in belock comments he was not about to leak the title and risk getting gazumped

Tue. 7/14/09 11:08pm From: john

I remember when this story broke. I was (I think) ten. It didn't seem that odd. I miss the 1970s.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:09pm From: efd

john, I have a story myself about when the story broke... stay tuned! :) (and hi everyone! gotta pick out the next song!)

Tue. 7/14/09 11:16pm From: Jaime

toronto!

Tue. 7/14/09 11:16pm From: john

Looking forward to it! Great to hear your show at 8pm, by the way. A little cognitive dissonance tuning in while it's still light out!

Tue. 7/14/09 11:19pm From: G

Speaking of time for funk -- I guess whoever fills in for Tom is contractually obligated to run over several minutes, likewise!

Tue. 7/14/09 11:22pm From: randy in NC

Final AL 4 - NL 3

Tue. 7/14/09 11:23pm From: efd

no appearance for Wake, i take it?

Tue. 7/14/09 11:23pm From: Joe

when EFD plays Hot Chocolate, every1's a winner.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:25pm From: Joe

You know what, that was unacceptable. I'm gonna go play Fallout.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:27pm From: Laurie

It is time for FUNK.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:32pm From: ?

and their wives were catchers

Tue. 7/14/09 11:32pm From: john

Both lefties, it should go without saying.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:33pm From: ?

but didn't :-P

Tue. 7/14/09 11:33pm From: Laurie

I requested the Fastbacks song. Because I am awesome.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:35pm From: ?

you go, girl!

Tue. 7/14/09 11:36pm From: Amanda

I'd like to go on the record as saying I approve of using The Final Countdown at any time, for any purpose. So, yes, that intro is great.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:39pm From: randy in NC

No Wakefield, WP Papelbon, SV Rivera

Tue. 7/14/09 11:46pm From: Jessica

Late to the party. Wow, look what I missed: Hot Chocolate! and stuff I've never heard of! like this cool chickrock right here. Darn, have to have a rewind later. [sarcasm] [because Laurie is awesome]

Tue. 7/14/09 11:47pm From: Jessica

My math problem's solution was 777. I'm gonna make a wish, I think.

Tue. 7/14/09 11:56pm From: Parq

Wait, wait, I liked it better the first way!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:00am From: G-ina

I explained the French title in comments, last time you played it a month or so back!

"G" nick altered in honor of girls' night!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:03am From: efd

got it, G!

Hi Jessica! Maybe buy a lotto ticket as well.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:05am From: español

everyone knows what "chupa aqui!" means, i guess

Wed. 7/15/09 12:09am From: Laurie

Now I really want some root beer chupa chups. I will chupa the shit out of those chupa chups.

Wow, that sounded really gross.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:10am From: Laurie

I thought everyone's favorite feature was Evans in the News.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:11am From: yo no soy marinero

chuperifico!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:19am From: randy in NC

Wed. 7/15/09 12:48am From: G

I've heard this "song" before. In real life!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:59am From: Michael from the Left Coast

Wait a minute, no Cars or Til Tuesday or any of the other BCN stalwarts?

Wed. 7/15/09 1:00am From: Spoony

Thank god! Boston's been STARVING for some more sports. Let's get some sports-talk up in Boston until we can come up with a long-term fix.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:00am From: ncp

WZBC always

Wed. 7/15/09 1:01am From: john

Going to see Holsapple and Stamey later this week. Record sounds great.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:01am From: Ric Ocasek

Yeah, WTF!

Wed. 7/15/09 1:04am From: efd

i told myself i wasn't going to play Tinted Windows tonight, but that Anadrew WK song ended so fast and this was the first thing I could grab!

Wed. 7/15/09 1:04am From: comments observation

texas scott, rachel jansen, and toni daytona all went on vacation the same week. amazing coincidence.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:10am From: Pete

EFD:

Regarding Bare Wires their new record is called "Artificial Cloud" but it looks like its only going to be out on vinyl (this is starting to bother me). They are going to tour in late summer and will be coming to Chicago (near where I live) but not New York.

Also sent you an email "XYX" (Mau) new single. If you read your emails, you can check out the email they sent.

Cheers

Wed. 7/15/09 1:13am From: Danne D

Greetings Funktastic Followers

Wed. 7/15/09 1:16am From: efd

thanks for the info, Pete - and here's that new XYX single now!

Hi, Danne D!

Wed. 7/15/09 1:19am From: Danne D

now that we're past the all star break this is where the Bill Leefds will start to pwn everyone. Thanks for letting get my brief moment in the sun in 2nd place before commencing your inevitable domination, Evan :)

Wed. 7/15/09 1:20am From: efd

ha! Danne, your confidence is appreciated but misplaced, I fear.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:23am From: Joshua K

I haven't been following baseball but heres a picture http://i26.tinypic.com/x0y3ag.gif

Wed. 7/15/09 1:25am From: Danne D

LOL Joshua.

Btw, Evan is there going to be cake in celebration of Aharon's 100th transaction when it occurs?

Wed. 7/15/09 1:33am From: Laurie

Davila 666 are touring Florida with Jacuzzi Boys. They will be playing Miami, of course, but also Ybor City. And a handful of other cities.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:39am From: Joshua K

Ybor city rules, as long as you don't go when the drunk people are there.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:39am From: anhelo

xYx is tuning you tonight :)

Wed. 7/15/09 1:39am From: mike

Evan, I guess I am one of the three people listening that cared about what you said about WBCN. Really, I was shocked. I was just in Boston for the July 4th fireworks, on a boat in the Charles river listening to 'BCN at a boat party, and, with a couple of beers, it almost felt like the old days. While it is true the station is not what it once was, and, like you, I no longer live in Boston, I still associate that station with the city, and it certainly does seem like the end of an era.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:43am From: efd

¡hola, Anhelo! Please come to New York sometime soon - and to Chicago, for Pete who commented earlier!

Wed. 7/15/09 1:45am From: Michael from the Left Coast

Esther Phillips!!!
EFD--did you listen to her version of Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You (Yes the Dylan song)? It 's one of the best Dylan covers ever

Wed. 7/15/09 1:46am From: efd

Michael, I have to admit that I'm not familiar with much more than that single!

Wed. 7/15/09 1:49am From: Anhelo

We want to!!! We will!!!

Wed. 7/15/09 1:50am From: efd

Mike, thanks for your WBCN comment... it's weird, even though I'm sure I wouldn't have been listening if I lived up there it still feels like a loss of some kind. Sort of like when CBGB closed, even though I hadn't been there in ages.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:54am From: Danne D

night all you fine folks!
night Evan - you're a true WFMU all star!

Wed. 7/15/09 1:56am From: efd

ha, thanks Danne and goodnight all!
