Playlist for The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - December 31, 2007

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.

Tonight is all about prepping tomorrow's mojo menu, watching The Jerk, pondering the 2008 To Do list, and rocking out to Lakeside while reminiscing about 5th grade skate parties. Good times. Thanks, Evan, for the zen disco levity. I might get this list made after all!

Mon. 12/31/07 11:09pm From: E.L.

Holy smokes! We're late for the party! We missed the note about the early start. but we have our "Champagne" popped and we're ready to rock.

Thanks for the great tunes EFD!

Happy New Year!

In other news:: "Have a Cigar," dare I say: the way it was intended to be heard.

Tue. 1/1/08 12:55am From: dave

happy new year, and thanks for bringin' the boogie!

Tue. 1/1/08 12:56am From: dave

MORE.
MORODER.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO thnxxx WFMU

Tue. 1/1/08 1:02am From: E.L.

The more "Champagne" I have the harder these playlist comment's math problems are to solve.

Tue. 1/1/08 1:03am From: E.L.

Punctuation also gets tricky.

Tue. 1/1/08 1:03am From: phat

Yes, the math keeps people from typing something they might regret.

phat

Tue. 1/1/08 1:05am From: E.L.

Too late.

Tue. 1/1/08 1:08am From: phat

By the way, I've recently rediscovered silver convention.

Weird, weird, weird.

phat

Tue. 1/1/08 1:13am From: dave

this year i resolve to be more funky. this show is the equivalent of a crunch membership in support of that resolution.

Tue. 1/1/08 1:14am From: phat

Yes, more funky.

I think I might have to join you with that resolution.

I might have to rock more, too, though.

phat

Tue. 1/1/08 1:14am From: dave

HOORAY

Tue. 1/1/08 1:14am From: db

hahaha

Tue. 1/1/08 1:27am From: peteski

Tue. 1/1/08 1:34am From: Murph the Surf

Great show. Happy New year from San Diego.. It feels like only yesterday I was biting my lower lip, arrthymically dancing and spilling beer on the dance floor at RU..Lisa Lisa I heart you

Tue. 1/1/08 1:35am From: dave

you sir, are a DEITY. i am in your debt forever.

Tue. 1/1/08 1:41am From: dave

i am so totally on the funk train.

fun fact, in repayment: giorgio moroder's 1970s look was created when he saw robin williams balance a ferret on his upper lip.

Tue. 1/1/08 1:50am From: eegake

Wonderful show! Nice way to roll in the New Year, I luv da funk!

Tue. 1/1/08 7:28am From: slugluv1313

hey Evan,

was way under the weather last night (battling a cold or flu or whatever) BUT i kept drifting in and out of consciousness while your show was on -- sure helped me feel soooooooo much better!

thanks so much and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tue. 1/1/08 2:05pm From: Rix

This was demonic possession. You saved my New Year's Eve.

Tue. 1/1/08 2:47pm From: Ken Lawrence

Hi evan was in the wrong place or didn't arrow down to comments Sorry you couldn't get to Love and Kisses, Accidental lover too many records too little time Huh?

Tue. 1/1/08 4:41pm From: john

is this show going to be archived?

Tue. 1/1/08 4:52pm From: efd

John - the archive will hopefully be up by the end of the day, it seems that the change in start time threw a bit of a monkey wrench into part of the usually well-oiled WFMU archiving machine.
Ken - thanks for your comment and email -- you're right, way more records than I had time for. I think I still wouldn't have run out if I'd stayed on the air this whole time.
Rix - I'm not sure about the demons, but glad I saved your New Year's Eve regardless
slugluv - hope you're feeling better, glad I could raise your spirits at least intermittently.
eegake, Murph, dave, peteski and all -- thanks for listening and for your comments! I had a blast, that was one of the most fun New Year's Eves I've had in a while!

Wed. 1/2/08 12:31pm From: Andy

The only thing that would have been better than getting my morning started with this set in an empty office today would have been listening live on NYE. Great set EFD, keep it up in '08.

Tue. 3/11/08 10:24pm From: dave

how can i get a copy of Slingshot's "You shook me all night long"?
