	9:22pm SteveL: What's a frog-rock pan?
	9:23pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you for not playing FTONY. I associate it strongly with my horrible ex-husband. Where the hell is this dolphin?
	9:23pm john: Hey Evan! That's awesome; not playing Fairytale of New York just leaves more room for Dawnie Iris!
	9:23pm Jon Anderson: I see frog rock pans when I get a shipment of really good stuff in.
	9:23pm SteveL: Kat: Keep staring. It'll come.
	9:24pm jmd: so nice you bought it twice!
	9:24pm SteveL: Jon Anderson: Do you also see crocodile teeth? Lizard's blood?
	9:25pm David (chudleycannons): What are the odds we'll hear Gunther? :P
	9:25pm efd: Wait, did I really say "frog-rock pan?!"
	9:25pm SteveL: Breath, not blood. Lizard's breath.
	9:25pm jmd: The dolphin will come...like a Wakefield pitch, sooner or later.
	9:25pm SteveL: Alas, no, you said it correctly.
	9:25pm Mike East: I'm sorry, but there is no better version of twelve days of xmas than the Muppets w/ John Denver.

	9:28pm Kat in Chicago: "And a beer... in a tree"
	9:28pm efd: john - good point re Dawnie! That is coming up for sure! SteveL - phew! Bad enough that I let Ken trick me into thinking it was Tuesday for a second this morning.

	11:51pm sweet cheri: happy new year evan, danne & everyone else
	11:52pm Holly in NC: Danne :-) NOSES!
	11:54pm emily: department S i want!
	11:55pm Kat in Chicago: How did I miss this Critics tune? This is sweet.
	11:55pm 12539: Happy Holidays, efd.
	11:55pm Holly in NC: @Kat - Hi & I agree!
	11:55pm efd: Don't get greedy, emily! :) Although I like the idea of playing that as a Christmas song... not unlike how Hova always used to play Blondie's "I'm Always Touched By Your Presence, Dear"
	11:56pm Callie: Happy holidays, Evan! Thanks for a great show! :)
	11:56pm efd: Warmest holiday wishes and the happiest of new years to all of you, commenteers and lurkers alike. Thanks for helping to make this so fun every week.

	11:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the great tunes, Evan.
	12:00am G: FWIW, that Slade was released in the UK as "Merry Xmas Everybody". They always misspelled something in their titles to sound more working class.
	12:02am Kat in Chicago: Hi Holly, Happy Hollydays!
	12:02am Marmalade Kitty: '73 was a good year for christmas tunes.. Merry Funkmas everybody !!!
	12:02am I X Key!: Thanks for a wonderful show, Evan!
	8:48am G: @MK: 73 was the year of the Slade, Wizzard, Elton "Christmas single" competition, which Slade won saleswise. Evan played two of the three on this show. That year's "competition" really raised the cultural profile in the UK of the "Christmas single." Here's wiki on that, with a yearly list back to the early 50s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_Singles_Chart_Christmas_number_ones

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.

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!

	9:23pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you for not playing FTONY. I associate it strongly with my horrible ex-husband. Where the hell is this dolphin?

	9:28pm efd: john - good point re Dawnie! That is coming up for sure! SteveL - phew! Bad enough that I let Ken trick me into thinking it was Tuesday for a second this morning.
	9:29pm SteveL: efd: Missed Ken this morning. Does this mean I need to review the comments?
	9:32pm Shhhh: Someone isn't here :)

	11:55pm Holly in NC: @Kat - Hi & I agree!
	11:55pm efd: Don't get greedy, emily! :) Although I like the idea of playing that as a Christmas song... not unlike how Hova always used to play Blondie's "I'm Always Touched By Your Presence, Dear"
	11:56pm Callie: Happy holidays, Evan! Thanks for a great show! :)

	12:00am G: FWIW, that Slade was released in the UK as "Merry Xmas Everybody". They always misspelled something in their titles to sound more working class.

	12:02am Marmalade Kitty: '73 was a good year for christmas tunes.. Merry Funkmas everybody !!!
	12:02am I X Key!: Thanks for a wonderful show, Evan!
	8:48am G: @MK: 73 was the year of the Slade, Wizzard, Elton "Christmas single" competition, which Slade won saleswise. Evan played two of the three on this show. That year's "competition" really raised the cultural profile in the UK of the "Christmas single." Here's wiki on that, with a yearly list back to the early 50s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_Singles_Chart_Christmas_number_ones
