The Evan "Funk" Davies Show:
Playlist
from February 15, 2012
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.

Here's where I flunk the Alzheimers test -- You're a math teacher or math grad student or something along those lines??? If so, the comment authentication is not as challenging for you as for some of us. | |

Hi everyone! Special hi to Sybil! Going a little crazy with the dog-wrangling just now, but thanks all for listening! |

Evan, I'm planning to do an early pledge to tie down my naming. Sorry about that. But I promise to bug people here! | |

Hey Evan, and all! I know, but I sort of cheated. And I loved Inspiral Carpets 20 years ago. | |

EFD - I think I know the connection too, but I sort of cheated, probably the same way as John. | |

Reverse image search--you're twisting my melon, man. Nothing too technological. Just a little memory-jogging re breed varieties. | |

|
Wed. 2/15/12 9:33pm

After which, I remembered I could have just grabbed the pic and got the name. But why do something the easy way when there's a difficult one? And Sybil, you've been missed! | |
|
Wed. 2/15/12 9:33pm
Joe D.:
that whippit pun. God. Dammit. | |

Anyone remember the Toronto punk band Nazi Dog & The Viletones. I don't even remember if they were any good, just remember the name. | |
|
Wed. 2/15/12 9:34pm
Sybil:
OK y'al... I am the owner of a certain part of the WFMU infrastructure... and I plan on owning it this time around! I'm making my pledge before the deadline so that I can have my stuff named after me again. But you all? I dare you to match me! And efd.... you played "whip it"? I so love you! | |

sorry, whippet. Not whippit. Heh. | |

Hey Sybil, pledges have to be paid in full in advance for naming rights, correct? I always do the $15/month but might see if the budget allows a paid-in-full this year... | |

G:
I believe they changed it to one-time paid-in-full pledges this year, for namings. I'm guessing at least a few people got naming rights last year, and then stopped their monthly payments somewhere along the line during the year. | |
|
Wed. 2/15/12 10:50pm
Holly in NC:
@Dame Edna - Thank you for asking! One possum & one neighbor's cat (oops). And, elsewhere, 1 dead squirrel & 2 dead birds. @Destroit - no rush! Is Danne here tonight? I need his no-fail Stratego strategy, a six year old thinks I'm, er, 'challenged'. | |

@G, Glad they finally got rid of that naming rights loophole. If I pay in full for a restoration of "Midnight Ticket Oasis" do I get a quality "Ticket" overdub every week? None of this 'Oh! [Cough, fumble] Yeah, Uh, Ticket!" stuff? | |
|
Wed. 2/15/12 10:55pm
Holly in NC:
@Possum - hush. I personally transported you 2 blocks away to our awesome neighborhood park where people grill out ALL the time & there's tons of nice sceaps for you. And an abandoned bathhouse for your shelter. | |

Hey Mike Sin :) (not to be confused with WFAN's "Mike's On") - though he should totally get royalties for that | |

@mb - I thought the very same thing @Destroit - most definitely, if I'm not caring for little ones! And I of course love Ringo, as do all Yankee fans who remember 1978 ;-) @Danne - hope you're feeling better & I would *love* if you'd share your Stratego hints. I've been cajoled into a rematch on Saturday - winner takes on his 2 older & equally precocious brothers. efd, thank you for Pony Time. | |

I'm psyched Mike L. will be with efd! Mike L. was one of my 'gateway' djs. | |

Danne D:
okay Holly - I always do two bunkers in the back (i.e. surround by 3 bombs). One will have the flag in it, the other will have a "7" to take out whatever miner might have gotten to that point. | |

Mike, thanks for listening and checking in from the dark! |

I tend to keep the 1, 2, and Spy close to middle for easier deployment, sweeping up. I'm trying to remember the rest as it's been some years. I know that none of the pieces was the same value as its neighbor. Pretty sure I did some sort of deal with a 5 and 9 in the front on one side and maybe a 6 and a 9 on the other. Generally kept the miners toward the back/middle - generally wanted to deploy those once I had a good idea of where the flag is. Generally found it easier to win by attrition. | |

efd - That totally sounded like the opening to Superchunk's "Precision Auto" - wait there it is again! | |

Danne D:
Very tough to knock out his 1 with a Spy - generally you have to keep the Spy close to a 2 or 3. About those 3's - I seem to recall I used them to the mid-back. I tended to play fairly non-aggressive, that is I'm willing to move pieces forward, figure out what's out there and then retreat - I'm content with laying back and letting the opponent expose pieces and picking 'em off. I like having a good piece like a 5 around to pick off the guys your opponent uses to pick off the scouts. A big part is making sure you remember what a piece is once it has been exposed. Shuffling your pieces back to your lines and moving them around helps to obscure their identity. Scouts I like to use if they have a piece that's exposed/uncovered and I want to find out what it is. | |

Hi Joe D. I cede Risk. Basically I cede anything except for backgammon, Monopoly & (bar) shuffleboard, I'm kind of a shitty gamer. Danne - I am going to memorize your tips. You rock. | |

Danne D:
Played a lot in college. Always went with a pretty standard set up, flipping what side the key pieces might be on, but largely it was a similar deal. Btw, if you're opponent decides to get cute and put bombs right in the front, blocking out the front line - don't bother to take those bombs out - let them bottle themselves up, it makes it much harder on them. | |
|
Wed. 2/15/12 11:46pm
Danne D:
Thanks :) Oh, if you get an advantage (say you have an extra 3) you should have no problem with trading pieces (like say your 1s). | |

Danne D:
My college roommate once set up bombs in 4 of the 6 front positions (leaving only the left side open for movement). He put 7's behind each of those bombs - and I figured that's what he had done. So I left the bombs alone and forced him to play everything to that left side. | |

I also got the crooked-head quizzical look when Ice-T put together to two words "Motorhead Fool". Glad it wasn't just me. | |

the cover of that Born To Raise Hell single is something else. Really fantastic. It has "Motorhead, foo'!" written all over it | |

@Danne: So it's free rein for gossiping about you on here, huh? :-P | |

I've got to be the most boring gossip topic ever, anyway. | |

Anyway have a good night everyone! :) Thanks for a great show Evan! Looking forward to taking everyone's pledges during next week's show. PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!!! | |
