WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 5, 2012

Listener comments!
	9:06pm SteveL: OK, I have not listened to NEARLY enough Stars. That was cool. Very organy, with a touch of Beefheart.
	9:09pm steve: hi evan, missed your show last week but glad to be back.
	9:10pm SteveL: Question: WHO IS THE GUITARIST FOR DALE & GRACE?? Pretty slick!
	9:10pm Barkevious Shabazz: Really captures that Wilsonesque sound. MR. Wilson.
	9:15pm Barkevious Shabazz: Luv this Housemartins. Their cover of Caravan of Love from the same period is Outstandjng.
	9:15pm SteveL: Mr. Wilson was some kinda' prick. Knew what he was doing in the studio, it appears.
	9:16pm SteveL: Barkevious S. and others: Did you catch Dave The Spazz's birthday celebration for Wilson Sr.? http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/45982 or, a decent Elvis take a few weeks back. Elvis: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/46979
	9:20pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Steve Heard the Elvis show. A friggin' hoot n' holler. More marching bands!
	9:21pm efd: Hey everyone! Got your wish, Barkevious, kind of, though mainly due to neglect on my part.
	9:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: I bet thwy do a great Fool for the City.
	9:23pm SteveL: That was a master seque. [bowing low, backing slightly away]
	9:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: A marching band sure beats that skank Gwen Stefany ruining a football game, even one with Dallas.
	9:30pm SteveL: Band/Skank/Dallas=Win.
	9:45pm efd: B. Shabazz, I actually almost opened with Foghat tonight! Not any of their hits, though. Hi SteveL, steve (welcome back), the aforementioned Mr. Shabazz, and... um... I guess that's it!
	9:46pm 12539: ...and us quiet lurkers.
	9:47pm efd: exactly, 12539! Lurkers always welcome!
	9:47pm Droll: 12539, Shhhhh!
	9:50pm efd: who said that?
	9:53pm Michael from the Left Coast: Dramarama?! And a happy birthday to Dramarama's Chris Carter
	9:54pm Michael from the Left Coast: I believe it was actually Monday
	9:55pm Michael from the Left Coast: but close enough
	9:56pm steve: 1-800-band, truly great name
	10:05pm Destroit: hi there everybody. I'm aggressively lurking...and that's not easy.
	10:08pm Droll: . o O ( Why so many mistakes tonight? ) Gentlemen, Rule Number of Lurk Club: ...
	10:12pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bid!
	10:12pm jmd: Monochrome Set! Thanks.
	10:13pm john: Hey Evan! Whatever I'm doing that's causing me to lurk deeply, and I'm not even live-blogging the convention tonight (yet), the Monochrome Set will always bring me to the surface.
	10:13pm Michael from the Left Coast: Been forever since I heard the Monochrome Set. Hey EFD, did you know Secret Affair are doing gigs in England?
	10:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: In honor of the first NFL football game of the year, the colors tonight remind me of the Miami Dolphin's colors.
	10:14pm ...: good stuff
	10:14pm john: Wow, Secret Affair, really? Glad I showed up now to see that!
	10:14pm efd: whoa, Monochrome Set brings the comment board to life! Hi john and jmd! Michael, I did not know that! Is it the same line-up?
	10:15pm efd: ha, duly noted KenFHP! Others have likened them to Howard Johnson... I was just going for summery when I made the switch in June.
	10:22pm Michael from the Left Coast: I don't know if it's the same lineup for Secret Affair, I have to imagine there are at least some replacements. I just saw it advertised in Mojo
	10:22pm Destroit: Bill Knapp colors?
	10:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Joe South, age 72.
	10:28pm efd: yeah, that is sad news. I will let DJs more qualified than me do a proper tribute to Mr. South.
	10:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: No Douche Master?
	10:34pm efd: Just me!
	10:39pm eddy: Exploding White Mice! Classic tune. I used to play this song on my own show, in Melbourne, more than 25 years ago. Got any Eastern Dark, Evan?
	10:44pm Barkevious Shabazz: I was thinking Chrysalis before you said it. Is this what Sting had in mind?
	10:47pm efd: ha! Maybe I wasn't so far off in making that connection, then. Hey eddy, glad you enjoyed the Exploding White Mice cut! If I have a chance I'll see if there's some Eastern Dark in the FMU library, but no promises!
	10:59pm Holly in NC: Hi Evan & friends! My beloved computer appears to be dying, scurrying to make sure all essential data on 2 b/u drives. This show is easing the pain in my heart just a wee bit. Thank you. xo @eddy - julie is a junkie! johnny & dee dee! And: died pretty! celibate rifles! screaming tribesmen! lime spiders! moffs! etc... :-)
	11:00pm Barkevious Shabazz: Thought this liminanas was Ricky's Hand fr a minute.
	11:01pm Holly in NC: @Barkevious - Fad Gadget's Ricky's Hand? That is one bizarre (& awesome) thought!
	11:03pm steve: toto! thank you, i was about to ask
	11:04pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly Sounds just like it at the start.Which is Gut!
	11:08pm Holly in NC: @Barkevious - I like you. Also like efd saying "la poisson rouge" ;-)
	11:08pm Holly in NC: And more Aussie goodness, yes!
	11:14pm efd: Hi Holly! And belated hi to the aggressively lurking Destroit as well!
	11:22pm Holly in NC: @efd - I think you're psychic - somehow I completely, totally, utterly missed The Sound 1st time around - heard Therese play them a week or 2 ago & have been exploring. Jacco Gardner is wonderful
	11:27pm efd: @Holly, agreed re Jacco Gardner! I hope there's a full-length on the way, although apparently he already has a fairly significant body of work. Similar with me re The Sound - I was barely aware of them at the time, but this reissue is pretty good!
	11:37pm john: OK, what'd I miss?
	11:39pm efd: I think the question is what'd I miss?
	11:42pm Bernie Brewer: Oh yeah!
	11:42pm john: The best American political speech in at least a quarter century. A six-run homer.
	11:43pm Holly in NC: Re Nervebreakers - anyone on Twitter absolutely needs to follow T Tex Edwards - he is a 1 man aggregator of interesting music-related info. Also his Pinterest is most excellent.
	11:45pm efd: @Holly, what's his Tiwtter handle? @john, WOW! I know you well enough to know you don't say such things lightly... I might have to actually watch it tomorrow.
	11:48pm SteveL: John is right. Great speech, by a political master. Glad I watched. Once again I praise the technology that brought us the archives.
	11:50pm john: I'm not keen on superlatives, but I mean, gosh. This speech will resonate. You'll enjoy it.
	11:50pm Holly in NC: @efd - He has several, @ttexmusic is main. Well worth following.
	11:57pm steve: i was just about to point out the missing single unit synth pop song of the efd show! at the buzzer!
	11:58pm efd: haha, got it in just under the wire steve! I think last week I missed it altogether, though. Thanks for listening everyone!
	11:59pm Holly in NC: Why the US is doomed - just tabbed over to check my Yahoo mail acct - Yahoo headlines mention DNC speeches, but guess what's actually trending? Honey Boo Boo, Snooki baby pics, & someoone's baby bump. Oh, & Minica Lewinsky. Getting razor for my wrists NOW.
	9:59pm Sybil: Just letting you know I'm lurking even when I never comment. Dang this early morning work schedule!
	12:22am Droll: I confess I typically miss the first part of the EFD show in recent months and mostly lurk when I do listen, but I did get back to this archive, and if you're gonna start opening with PROGRESSIVE ROCK MUSIC (from the 70's), you are soooooo my favorite DJ and I swear I'll tune in religiously. Archives are weird, I first fell in love with The New Surfsiders on Therese's show live, but she was last to play them of 4 FMU DJs!
