	♥ 12:51pm efd: Happy to be of service, @Mike East! Hope you all tested negative.
	♥ 12:53pm herb.nyc: Boy is this show good. You’ve got great taste, Evan. (Duh). Aside, I just read this in 12/27 New Yorker, Calvin Trillin writes- - You might say that I'm a collector of ledes. I assume that's why my friend James Edmunds, who lives in New Iberia, Louisiana, sent me an article that appeared in the Advocate of Baton Rouge on September 23, 2019. If the function of a lede is to engage the reader, this article's lede seemed to me remarkably effective. Here it is: A veterinarian prescribed antibiotics Monday for a camel that lives behind an Iberville Parish truck stop after a Florida woman told law officers she bit the 600 pound animal's genitalia after it sat on her when she and her husband entered its enclosure to retrieve their deaf dog. Notice how the reader is drawn in with a single unpunctuated sentence…

	♥ 2:08pm winston legthigh: ha guin! was referring to fabios x-turntable/cartridge family.
	2:09pm DJ Guin: @winston - getting baked does not a Fabio show make better
	2:10pm Doug in JC: Second result when you search Jefferson Sleeves on google: "That dude was in a band called 'Jefferson Sleeves', so maybe he had a thing for terrible names."

	2:22pm phat in Lincoln: This is a great show. I need to catch up on some of these records.
	♥ 2:23pm joseloalter: These sounds are improving the quality of my day, the quality of time in general, in ways that are hard to describe with words. Thank you!
	2:24pm bobobobob: @DJ guin jefffferson Sleeves ill look it up thanks
	♥ 2:24pm B R M: So, at this point in the program the Venn Diagram between @efd's list and my own personal 2021 favorites are two separate circles with no overlap at all, but that's what I love about this show- I am really enjoying the music and am now digging into the bands I like from this list. ❤️
	♥ 2:25pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oh Eyelids were supremely awesome live earlier this month.

	♥ 2:29pm happymaan: Thanks for the music, I brought my headphones to the theater to distract from trailers
	♥ 2:29pm B R M: @efd If I wanted to listen to my own favorites, I have plenty of opportunity to do so, I'm very much enjoying yours. But lists are fun for comparison purposes... Lots of clicky stars today!
	♥ 2:29pm HyperDose: Echoing the sentiments of GG
	♥ 2:31pm efd: This C Powers might have gotten a boost in the ranking from the title alone
	♥ 2:31pm Carmichael: @Will, those are my new and improved FMU tiki torches, nice strong metal. And no fog today, but steady rain, something I haven't seen about 9 months.
	♥ 2:33pm Will the Sound Guy: I've just been layzing around listening to the tunes... intentional misspelled/ combined word in there...

	♥ 2:41pm JeremyB: Missed the middle of the show getting by Booster Jab... will have to catch up on the archives... Great pick on Pop Roxx. Wasn't familiar with the Telefones myself.
	♥ 2:42pm Carmichael: Way to go on the jab, Jeremy! We gotta protect ourselves from the "others" ...
	2:43pm Doug in JC: Good deal, Jeremy. It seems like absolutely everyone down here is testing positive this week
	♥ 2:43pm HyperDose: Those GIF-fing fingers must be exhausted, Jeremy. Doesn't sound like anything exceptional hydration and a power nap can't fix!
	♥ 2:43pm efd: thanks Jeremy!
	♥ 2:44pm Hugh: Hey Evan and everyone! WFMU is the Top Top!
	♥ 2:44pm Will the Sound Guy: I wish we had the chance to boost, still have to wait because of the date. You did a good thing man!
	2:45pm Andrew Hollywood: cheers to all who are boosted and getting boosted.
	♥ 2:46pm B R M: Well well well... the Venn Diagram overlap has begun! DUMMY! 🥰 And The Orange Peels album is my #1 I Hate The Vinyl Supply Chain album of 2021!
	2:46pm phat in Lincoln: Someone's been listening to Stereolab.
	♥ 2:47pm JeremyB: Hey Hyper! Hah! I am good... A little woozy but mostly from lack of sleep more than anything.
	♥ 2:47pm Baja Joe: Awesome music selections EFD. Thanks.
	2:47pm phat in Lincoln: Not that there's anything wrong with that.
	♥ 2:47pm Carmichael: I hear that too, phat.
	♥ 2:47pm efd: @B R M ha! Yeah, I'm waiting for my vinyl copy of that Orange Peels too!
	♥ 2:48pm Figgsrock: I had a feeling this Connells album would be high up the list. It was my #1 of the year.
	♥ 2:49pm efd: If this had been my #1 it would have been an inadvertent North Carolina sweep!
	♥ 2:52pm Hoboken Pete: C'mon #1, I can't take it!!!
	♥ 2:54pm Baja Joe: The Connells- Wow. Possibly incapable of writing a bad tune.
	♥ 2:54pm B R M: (Background singers: Evan's Coast To Coooooast) Evan Lists 'em Evan Counts 'em down And we're to the #1 album of the year (Background singers: "Number oooneee!")
	♥ 2:54pm Will the Sound Guy: Que up the Drum roll please!!!
	♥ 2:55pm HyperDose: Hear ye hear ye!
	2:56pm DJ Guin: suck it Casey Kasem!!
	♥ 2:56pm Hoboken Pete: Hahaha
	2:57pm DJ Guin: even thought EVERYONE but efd knows that Tobacco City and/or The Beths are # 1 this year
	♥ 2:57pm Will the Sound Guy: I liked this track back in March... I still dig this
	2:57pm Ed: Airport77s! Love this band! They got all the best hooks of Cheap Trick, April Wine and others from the late 70s.

	♥ 2:57pm βrian: Late 70s, no?

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 29, 2021

View efd's profile

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show playlists | Next playlist -->

Upcoming events:

Wed. May 1st, Noon - 3pm: UV-TV (More info...)
UV-TV formed in Gainesville, Florida, in the mid-2010s, but by the turn of the decade they’d relocated to New York City. Their first release after moving to NYC, 2021’s Always Something, was one of EFD’s favorites of that year; they’ll play some songs from that album as well as some new songs from an upcoming release. Tune in for some post-punk jangle-drone!
Wed. May 22nd, Noon - 3pm: The Prof. Fuzz 63 (More info...)
The Prof. Fuzz 63 are a three-piece family band from just north of Dallas. They’re also literally a garage band. Their garage/practice space is adorned with photos of The Cramps, among others, and singer uses an old telephone handset for a mic. What else do you need to know? OK, they’re also playing May 22 at Berlin in NYC and May 23 at Finnegan’s in Hoboken.

	♥ 12:51pm efd: Happy to be of service, @Mike East! Hope you all tested negative.
	♥ 12:53pm herb.nyc: Boy is this show good. You’ve got great taste, Evan. (Duh). Aside, I just read this in 12/27 New Yorker, Calvin Trillin writes- - You might say that I'm a collector of ledes. I assume that's why my friend James Edmunds, who lives in New Iberia, Louisiana, sent me an article that appeared in the Advocate of Baton Rouge on September 23, 2019. If the function of a lede is to engage the reader, this article's lede seemed to me remarkably effective. Here it is: A veterinarian prescribed antibiotics Monday for a camel that lives behind an Iberville Parish truck stop after a Florida woman told law officers she bit the 600 pound animal's genitalia after it sat on her when she and her husband entered its enclosure to retrieve their deaf dog. Notice how the reader is drawn in with a single unpunctuated sentence…

	2:09pm DJ Guin: @winston - getting baked does not a Fabio show make better
	2:10pm Doug in JC: Second result when you search Jefferson Sleeves on google: "That dude was in a band called 'Jefferson Sleeves', so maybe he had a thing for terrible names."

	2:24pm bobobobob: @DJ guin jefffferson Sleeves ill look it up thanks
	♥ 2:24pm B R M: So, at this point in the program the Venn Diagram between @efd's list and my own personal 2021 favorites are two separate circles with no overlap at all, but that's what I love about this show- I am really enjoying the music and am now digging into the bands I like from this list. ❤️

	♥ 2:29pm B R M: @efd If I wanted to listen to my own favorites, I have plenty of opportunity to do so, I'm very much enjoying yours. But lists are fun for comparison purposes... Lots of clicky stars today!
	♥ 2:29pm HyperDose: Echoing the sentiments of GG
	♥ 2:31pm efd: This C Powers might have gotten a boost in the ranking from the title alone
	♥ 2:31pm Carmichael: @Will, those are my new and improved FMU tiki torches, nice strong metal. And no fog today, but steady rain, something I haven't seen about 9 months.
	♥ 2:33pm Will the Sound Guy: I've just been layzing around listening to the tunes... intentional misspelled/ combined word in there...

	2:43pm Doug in JC: Good deal, Jeremy. It seems like absolutely everyone down here is testing positive this week
	♥ 2:43pm HyperDose: Those GIF-fing fingers must be exhausted, Jeremy. Doesn't sound like anything exceptional hydration and a power nap can't fix!

	2:46pm phat in Lincoln: Someone's been listening to Stereolab.
	♥ 2:47pm JeremyB: Hey Hyper! Hah! I am good... A little woozy but mostly from lack of sleep more than anything.
	♥ 2:47pm Baja Joe: Awesome music selections EFD. Thanks.
	2:47pm phat in Lincoln: Not that there's anything wrong with that.
	♥ 2:47pm Carmichael: I hear that too, phat.
	♥ 2:47pm efd: @B R M ha! Yeah, I'm waiting for my vinyl copy of that Orange Peels too!
	♥ 2:48pm Figgsrock: I had a feeling this Connells album would be high up the list. It was my #1 of the year.
	♥ 2:49pm efd: If this had been my #1 it would have been an inadvertent North Carolina sweep!
	♥ 2:52pm Hoboken Pete: C'mon #1, I can't take it!!!
	♥ 2:54pm Baja Joe: The Connells- Wow. Possibly incapable of writing a bad tune.
	♥ 2:54pm B R M: (Background singers: Evan's Coast To Coooooast) Evan Lists 'em Evan Counts 'em down And we're to the #1 album of the year (Background singers: "Number oooneee!")
