Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!
Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)
It’s the 18th year of the Evan “Funk” Davies Show Holiday Music Funktacular, and this year — for the first time ever — it will air on actual Christmas Day! Tune in for three hours of Christmas music that you won’t already be sick of hearing: old and new seasonal rock, punk, dance, glam, and power pop favorites. Even your family might enjoy it!

June 6, 2012: OBN IIIs LIVE, plus interview with DAN EPSTEIN, author of Big Hair And Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride! Through Baseball and America in the Swinging '70s

	9:05pm miss cheri: hey evan,,as always i'm really looking forward to a terriific show!!!
	9:06pm G: When Danne D arrives, we'll know right off if the Devils have bought another game this season or not...
	9:07pm miss cheri: also i'm glad you're on the summer schedule!!
	9:07pm Richard from Venezuela: Hello Evan and all the listeners.
	9:08pm SteveL: Rocking hard at the outset. Working up to OBN IIIs it appears.
	9:09pm efd: Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in! Cheri, I'm glad I'm on the summer schedule too! Greetings Richard, SteveL and G! I'm thinking if Danne DOESN'T show up that will be a bad sign.
	9:09pm efd: (for Devils fans)
	9:11pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans! End of 1! GO DEVILS!
	9:11pm G: Score?
	9:12pm PB: I picked up an import copy of the reissue of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless yesterday. It sounds amazing, infinitely better than the original CD release. Can't wait to check out the double CD EPs release tomorrow.
	9:12pm glenn: they're toast. the kings are a better team, playing an all around better game.
	9:13pm Michael from the Left Coast: Score=tied at 0 after one period (although Kings open with about a minute and a half of power play in the second period)
	9:14pm glenn: this holms song could easily be a tragically hip tune.
	9:15pm RMH: Looking forward to the OBN III's set! Awesome band.
	9:16pm efd: coming up in about 15 minutes, RMH! You won't be disappointed.

	9:18pm Mike East: Yes! They sounded cool on Joe Belock's show! Three Chord Monte always a good way to preview upcoming live guests on the EFD Show.
	9:19pm Mike East: er..not preview, but prehear, I guess.
	9:19pm miss cheri: hiya danne & holly,,what's happening??
	9:20pm efd: Holly, you might catch the last song but that'll be about it I'm afraid! Archive for you.

	9:28pm SteveL: Tuff Darts: [ahem] EEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Perhaps I mentioned once that I heard their song "She's Dead" en-route to my prom, (on Denver radio no less.) My date, when told about it later in the evening, was unamused.
	9:29pm SteveL: Let it roll!!!
	9:29pm JMD: no, no, no! Let it go round once again!
	9:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Didn't the guy in the Tuff Darts have like superbad choppers?
	9:31pm SteveL: Nice. Best endgroove ever.

	9:44pm miss cheri: keep on rocking evan!! great set so far..
	9:46pm G: It didn't sound like a good noise :-(
	9:47pm SteveL: The horror. The horror.

	9:48pm SteveL: Yo, RMH. The Fort represents!

	9:53pm efd: jesus motherf-ing christmas.
	9:53pm Danne D: 0-0 after 2
	9:54pm Cubicle Carl: No sweat. We're back and we're bad.
	9:55pm Barkevious Shabazz: Jesus tapdancing christ. On a bike.
	9:56pm G: worth the short wait...
	9:58pm SteveL: Worth it all to hear Mr. Neeley say "You can't hear me, but I'm beatin' on my chest."
	9:58pm efd: if nothing else this means that Holly will be able to catch a few more songs live when she starts listening at 10.

	10:01pm SteveL: Holly/ efd did it all for you.
	10:04pm Don Orsillo: Chin up, we make .wav file errors all the time here at NESN. How about some Dave Matthews Band?

	10:30pm Marmalade kitty: it only takes a second to score a goal.. Brian clough said that
	10:31pm G: @MK: Don't make Danne even more nervous :-)
	10:33pm Danne D: literally fucked by the refs with a penalty and the Kings immediately score to tie it up.
	10:40pm Ike: Damn, how could I tune in late and miss a song with a title like "(your love is like) nuclear waste?" That'll teach me. So glad there are archives. Really liked that Adelines.

	10:55pm Marmalade kitty: what does that mean, Danne? *not familiar w/ ice hockey terminology..
	10:55pm tinaun: Steve Albini too!
	10:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Three cheers for more hockey! At what point will the games be shown on channels that normal citizens can actually tune into? ESPN is available everywhere, but they don't have the contract.
	10:58pm Marmalade kitty: watch for free on first row sports.. Shhh!
	10:58pm Mike Sin: Dan's book had great detail on the most underrated star of '70s baseball = Dick Allen

	11:11pm Marmalade kitty: I would love to catch Marys show but I gotsta sleep!

	11:34pm Danne D: night cheri
	11:35pm Danne D: By the way, I believe this makes 43 seven-game series that the Devils have ever been in. They have never been swept :)
	11:36pm Danne D: longest streak in NHL with a never. The Habs did have a streak of 75 series between sweeps. Only other teams to never have been swept: Nashville (12) and Tampa Bay (8) (It might be the other way around but those are the two teams)
	11:37pm Holly in NC: Good night Marmalade Kitty & Cheri! Happy for you Danne, as much as a Rangers (& Hurricanes) fan can be ;-)
	11:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Glad to hear they're airing the next games on a popular channel. I'm in a hotel room and the NBC Sports Channel isn't in their line-up. We do get that channel on cable at home.
	11:49pm miss cheri: evan let me just say it was a joy hanging out with you tonight,, enjoy your vacay!
	11:54pm Danne D: (It's actually 12 for Tampa Bay and 9 for Nashville btw)
