Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)

Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)

July 25, 2012: JOBRIATH A.D. special, with writer/director KIERAN TURNER!

The new documentary Jobriath A.D. delves into the life and legacy of '70s glam-rocker Jobriath in a way that's never been done before. Known variously as "The American Bowie,' 'The True Fairy of Rock & Roll, 'Hype of the Year" -- as well as the first openly gay rock star -- Jobriath recorded two albums before the overwrought hype bubble burst. He subsequently moved to the Chelsea Hotel and tried remaking himself as "Cole Berlin," a Weimar-era cabaret singer, before passing away in July 1983 of AIDS-related illnesses. In the years since his death he has been cited as an influence by The Pet Shop Boys, Gary Numan, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, and Morrissey.

Jobriath A.D. weaves together interviews, archival material and animation, and it has already received critical acclaim on the festival circuit. It will have its NYC premiere on Saturday, July 28, at 10:30pm as part of Lincoln Center's NewFest 2012. Writer/director Kieran Turner joins Evan "Funk" Davies tonight to discuss the film (and share some rare bootleg recordings!).

	9:17pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans :) Hi EFD :)
	9:18pm Danne D: Gotta love the logic-defying nature of fantasy baseball. My team is 3/31 tonight and my pitchers gave up a combined 15 runs in 13 innings. And I'm +1 in point in the standings tonight. Crazy
	9:19pm SteveL: Wow. Take time to walk the dogs, miss a set. Hope those canines appreciate it!
	9:19pm Holly in NC: http://theinsound.tumblr.com/post/27957994331/the-band-hector-whose-song-wired-up-was-a
	9:19pm Danne D: Wonder if Evan will play the Ichiro song by the Baseball Project in honor of his .600 OPS joining the Yankees ;)
	9:25pm SteveL: Great Tumblr pic. Wondering why men button their shirts today.
	9:25pm Danne D: It's Time for the FUNK!
	9:45pm will: Speaking of 70s arcania: RIP Larry Hoppen, member of Orleans and the lead voice behind "Still the One" and "Dance with Me".
	9:46pm efd: Yes, I heard that earlier today - sad news.
	9:55pm Ignore Function: I saw the Baseball Project last night!
	9:55pm Ignore Function: Fine show, by the way.
	9:56pm efd: That's excellent, Ignore Function (and thanks)! Where'd you see them?
	9:58pm Ignore Function: Madison, WI. The did one Dream Syndicate, R.E.M., and Young Fresh Fellows song. Awesome.
	10:02pm efd: cool! Sounds like a great show.
	10:08pm EL: Listening live is so much more fun. Though I'm super grateful for the archive.
	10:09pm Danne D: @Ignore Function #jealous (Even though I've seen 'em a couple times already)
	10:29pm EL: Kevin Barnes must have heard that at some point.
	10:37pm Danne D: Off to get a hot chocolate :) Will enjoy this from the car :)
	10:50pm Holly in NC: This acoustic version is...soo good
	10:50pm efd: yes! It's pretty mind-blowing!
	10:53pm SteveL: Wow. Cannot wait to see this film, (although I may need to be a bit patient.) I've already lobbied for it with the local cool-film non-profit.
	10:54pm PB: I pride myself on being pretty (OK, very) knowledgeable about rock/pop music but I've got to admit I've never even heard of Jobriath.
	10:56pm SteveL: PB: I think I first heard about him within the past five years, unless I actually saw hm on Midnight Special, (could have, but memory does not serve.)
	11:04pm ?: @PB me either..but now I know :)
	11:09pm Julie: oops..that was me..not knowing
	11:14pm northguineahills: My roommate in FL, back in '98 (who was also a dj), got a copy of a Jobriath LP which set us on a resource poor internet odyssey (and word of mouth, indie zine) to find out more about Jobriath.
	11:17pm Mark in DC: A lot is made of his inability to enjoy success due to his sexuality. Personally, I don't think he's very good. Sometimes performers fail to connect for this reason too.
	11:20pm Holly in NC: Marc Almond's great Guardian article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/mar/28/jobriath-marc-almond And if you go to Dangerous Minds & do a site search, you'll access pretty much all other good info
	11:21pm Holly in NC: I want that acoustic I Maman :-)
	11:44pm Danne D: Fantastic interview EFD :) will have to catch the tail end of the show on the archive. Thanks for your excellence as always :) hi/bye holly and have a great night Funk Friends :)
	11:44pm Holly in NC: You know I love the Schunk crew, all of 'em - but imho 'Cruel Summer' should NOT be f*cked with.
	11:45pm Danne D: Yay new phone plays nicer with the comments board :) anyhow gnight for real all
	11:46pm SteveL: I dunno Holly, its a pretty cool cover of a cool song. (Full disclosure: I AM a long-time cover whore.)
	11:47pm Holly in NC: @SteveL - Oh, I'm a cover superwhore!
	11:50pm Holly in NC: Now here's a great song that sounds like a cover, but isn't (I don't think)
	11:56pm Holly in NC: Timmy Vulgar rocks!
	11:57pm Roberto: I think he's singing "I love my lease"
	11:59pm efd: thanks for listening, everybody! Hope to see some of you locals at the screening on Saturday, and I'll "see" the rest of you next week!
	11:59pm Holly in NC: Why I'm not a rock star, I'd be singing "I hate my mortgage"
