Options The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 12, 2012 Options

efd's avatar View efd's profile Options

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.

Listener comments!

  Wed. 9/12/12 9:07pm Barkevious Shabazz:

Hiw does Sparka appeal so much to me and the rest of his catalogue leaves me cold?
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:07pm Richard from Venezuela:

Hello Evan!
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:08pm SteveL:

DAMN, this is a great song.

I missed Graham Parker at the time. Found him again in the mid 90s. Always knew about him, just never dove in till then. Seems like a great live performer.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:08pm john:

How many times I should have taken Graham's advice....
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:08pm Barkevious Shabazz:

How does spelling elude me?
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:16pm SteveL:

Think Lux Interior ever listened to Neal Ford & The Frantics? I do. At least once.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 9/12/12 9:22pm efd:

hey everyone, thanks for tuning in! Barkevious, there are some other bright spots in Graham Parker's catalog but I agree that Squeezing Out Sparks is probably the most solid album overall.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:28pm PB:

Brian Wilson Shock Treatment gets the award for best band name. I always thought the Brian Jonestown Massacre was pretty good but this is even better.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:31pm john:

Not even the best band name incorporating another musician's name as long as Deathray Davies is remembered.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:33pm steve from SF:

A tribute to B-Weezy, Fear the Beard. Gets his own band name. Go Giants!
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:34pm PB:

Davies as in Evan or as in Ray and Dave?
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:41pm john:

Now that's not the Sweathog album beloved of junior-high age rockers because of the sleeve's quite large artist's rendition (not drawn to scale) of a butt, right?
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:43pm james:

love apache dropout, maybe catch them at cakeshop sat.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:44pm Barkevious Shabazz:

Ok, Heat Treatment.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:45pm Joe D.:

you know, I'm not exactly Dolemite with the ladies, but somehow I don't really think this would be a very effective pickup line.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:47pm eddy:

Re. Graham Parker: I'm going to guess SOS is indeed a Rumour album. One of the first lessons I learned working at a music magazine many years ago is that label copy is nearly always gospel, since art directors and cover designers often take, well, "artistic license" when it comes to band names, song titles, etc.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:49pm john:

I'm going to be all practical and stuff and suggest that if the guys from the Rumour are playing on the record, it's Graham Parker and the Rumour, but I'm simplistic like that.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:50pm john:

For the recoard, as it were, they are.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 9/12/12 9:52pm efd:

eddy, I like that rule of thumb; john, you beat me to the punch confirming that the Rumour are indeed playing on the LP.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 9/12/12 9:53pm efd:

Joe D., you make an excellent point.

james, if you go tell them Evan "Funk" Davies sent you! or something...

evening steve, PB, Barkevious, SteveL and all! Nice to have you here.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:53pm john:

It was quite the popular elpee in certain circles at GHS circa '79.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:54pm Richard from Venezuela:

great rock track by the darkness.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:54pm SteveL:

Most awesome vocal riff EVER on the chorus.
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:55pm Frank:

efd, could you play some Fotomaker?
  Wed. 9/12/12 9:59pm some other guy:

I question your knowledge of IL geography.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 9/12/12 10:00pm efd:

It is certainly open to question.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 9/12/12 10:01pm efd:

Frank, great request! I'll have to see if their albums are in the FMU record library, since I didn't bring them from home today.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:04pm steve:

hey all... just got in.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:08pm EL:

Shonen Knife and a Superchunk cover? Yippee!
Avatar ♥   Wed. 9/12/12 10:08pm efd:

hey steve, glad you made it.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:08pm SteveL:

Cruel Summer/Favorite cover since Black Betty by Jon Spencer.

Yo, other Steve!

Hiya Funk Fans :)
Hiya EFD :)
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:15pm Julie:

an album called Nocturne should be goth (See Siouxsie)
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:15pm Holly in NC:

Hi Evan & everyone! Looks like I've missed some wonderfulness, yay for archives
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:15pm john:

Or classical.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:16pm Julie:

Yes John

I was just gonna say, I'm not sure what Chopin would have to say about that! :)

Hi Julie, hi Holly in NC, hi Danne D back from the... well, back!
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:20pm Danne D:

(Champaign to Chicago covers the important part) :)
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:22pm EL:

Hello! I'm cooking dinner so I'm in and out on the comments tonight. Cheers efd and all!
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:24pm Droll:

EL - Ditto
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:30pm Holly in NC:

What's for for dinner? Leftover roast chicken. a funky salad, & later a wedge of good cheese over here. Nothing exciting, but good.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 9/12/12 10:31pm efd:

Hey Droll! Bon appetit!
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:32pm SteveL:

Is there possibly any Ultravox waiting in the wings? Time will tell.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:39pm Barkevious Shabazz:

PSBs are the greatest. And Olympians. So there.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:41pm Holly in NC:

My first (& only) published music review was of PSB's West End Girls. I liked it ;-)
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:44pm Barkevious Shabazz:

Disco Nap may be the best song ever.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:44pm Holly in NC:

Or at least the new Devastator
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:44pm SteveL:

  Wed. 9/12/12 10:45pm bloopy:

how do u disco nap
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:48pm Julie:

it's a nap you take before you go to the disco
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:50pm Holly in NC:

Or maybe it's a nap you take while wearing suspenders, satin shorts, & roller skates.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:51pm steve:

Vince Aletti, who was a disco oriented music writer in NYC is the late 70s, said a disco nap is a quick nap taken mid-party late at night so you may rest up enough to continue to disco the night away.
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:52pm steve:

...probably while wearing roller skates
  Wed. 9/12/12 10:53pm bloopy:

ah i never been to a disco ever.
  Wed. 9/12/12 11:03pm steve:

dam.... wish i could make that show at Death by Audio on Friday! that sounds amazing.
  Wed. 9/12/12 11:09pm Danne D:

:( A ticket salad sandwich diet?

(Actually I wasn't gonna call in - too busy a time of year for me)
  Wed. 9/12/12 11:10pm Rickwaukee:

I'd like you to hold Ticket Salad Sandwich Time. I'd like you to hold it between your knees. Double good next week.

Well I never!

The adapted 5 Easy Pieces re-enactment makes up for not getting to hear "[pregnant pause] Le Poisson Rouge" this week.
