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.

Best of FTW~!
  9:02pm
Danne D:

Hi EFD :)
Hi Funk Fans :)
Happy New Year :)
  9:02pm
steve:

woo hoo
  9:02pm
Danne D:

Starting with the '10s as we pretty much always do here on the Evan Funk Davies show
  9:07pm
Holly in NC:

Late already :-( Hi EFD, G, Danne, & Steve! Back asap, have to pack up & drive.
I'm imagining Wicked Lady. Does the reissue add anything to the original lp?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:12pm
efd:

Hi steve, Danne, G and Holly! Thanks for tuning in! Holly, I'm not sure offhand if any of the tracks on that album are bonus tracks.
  9:13pm
PB:

The Moe Tucker collection on Sundazed was great. The Flying Nun compilation (Tally Ho!) was good. The Roxy Music and Joni Mitchell boxes were great (unless you owned all of them already).
  9:14pm
Mike East:

trying to convince my baby that wfmu is better than radio static. White noise is kind of her thing right now. Let's see how she digs on the efd show
  9:15pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Numerical trivia - 2013 is not a prime number. 2011 was the last prime number year and 2017 will be the next one.
  9:15pm
PB:

Wait, this isn't actually the Feelies?
  9:15pm
G:

Primo!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:16pm
efd:

Hi PB - it's ALMOST the Feelies!
  9:16pm
Holly in NC:

Trypes trypes trypes brilliant song (still packing, so much slower than molasses not even funny)
  9:18pm
G:

slower than molasses in january!
  9:18pm
Danne D:

Now it's time for the Best Theme Song of this or any year :)
  9:18pm
Danne D:

and that's how it goes...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:18pm
efd:

Mike, you might have better luck with Bryce's show.




(No offense, Bryce.)
  9:19pm
PB:

efd, great start. Keep it going.
  9:20pm
Mike East:

actually, she did enjoy a Gateway to Joy fillin a month or so ago, so you're probably right.
  9:21pm
steve:

i love countdowns! and lists! the end / beginning of the year is a good time for me.
  9:26pm
john:

2013 is easy to figure as composite. Digits add to a multiple of 3. More numerical trivia. 2013 is the first year with four different digits since 1987. Actually a little more obvious than it may look at first, but it's still 26 years.
  9:27pm
G:

Radio static is good as part of the mix... Each genre cloys after awhile, and a countergenre cleanses the palate for its sometimes diametrical opposite. And I don't eat the exact same meal every day either!
  9:30pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

A big hip hooray for Omnivore Recordings who released the Knack record (as well as a Jellyfish sing along record on record store day) among the many great releases this past year
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:35pm
efd:

Hi Michael, I'll second that hip hooray! Hi john, thanks for the numerology! And a happy new year to all!
  9:37pm
Holly in NC:

@Michael FTLC - Omnivore rocks - sweet, unheralded Ernie Kovacs reissue also!

ooh, Bizarros. OK, I'm going, I'm going (was just emailing w Doug Schulkind, I DO have a semi-excuse..)
  9:37pm
john:

It's Math Rock!
  9:46pm
steve:

i predict Number 1 will be that UK House collection and efd will denounce rock and power pop and switch permanently to an all house / boogie / 80s freestyle show
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:47pm
efd:

steve, that's a various artist comp - different list! :D
  9:48pm
Danne D:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:48pm
efd:

lots of long songs on these reissues - I hope this doesn't mess me up at the end of the show!
  9:49pm
Danne D:

I'm glad I finally got around to buying a real pair of headphones so I can better appreciate listening to this show at the Starbucks :)
  9:50pm
Paulie B:

I'm shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you!) that "Buttons" is not #1. Though perhaps it's on a separate compilations list.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:51pm
efd:

Yes, this is the single-artist reissue/compilation section!
  9:52pm
sweet cheri:

hiya evan,,danne & holly happy 2013!! i hope you're having fun!!!
  9:52pm
Paulie B:

Oh, seeing efd's comment @9:47, it almost certainly is. I should read before posting!
  9:53pm

Not to forget Numero's Shoes reissues!

jtkantor:

Another great show! If you start to run out of time, you can spin everything at 78 RPM to fit it all in :)
  10:04pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Cuffs is tops.
  10:07pm
Danne D:

Evan was looking for it next to the Hot Rats album...
  10:07pm
jtkantor:

Cuffs, indeed, from the People's Republic of Cambridge!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:10pm
efd:

thanks jtkantor! Also, my contingency plan in case I start running out of time is to simply padlock the doors of the studio so Mary Wing can't get in.
  10:13pm
SteveL:

Oh yeah! Getting my second chance at Apache Dropout in Fort Wayne in another month or so. Won't blow it this time.
  10:13pm
PB:

This riff sounds a lot like The Modern Lovers track Girl Friend. Great track nonetheless.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:14pm
efd:

Awesome, SteveL! Yeah don't miss them!
  10:19pm
Holly in NC:

Finally here! Hello again EFD & all friends. Finishing up cat rituals, s/b comfortably ensconced under comforter by time EFD announces #1 single.
  10:19pm
Danne D:

the NFL has been gracious enough to put any potential 2nd round Bengals playoff game on Saturday of that weekend :)
  10:20pm
Danne D:

Hi Holly :)
  10:20pm
Holly in NC:

And BTW there's a significant delay between PC & mobile listening, it's freaky!
  10:21pm
SteveL:

Cat rituals: I like the sound of that, although its probably not nearly as sexy as it sounds.
  10:22pm
Joe B:

Hot Lunch full-length just went in the new bin!
  10:22pm
Catbox:

You got it, Steve
  10:24pm
Holly in NC:

@SteveL - Nothing sexy. Nada. Unless you are a seriously troubled man (#1 cat currently head butting my butt to get me to stop typing & recommence playtime, that's as sexy as it gets).
  10:25pm
Joe B:

Danne D clinches comment of the year on Jan. 2 for Happy Recap!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:27pm
efd:

Yes! That was a good one, didn't get a chance to acknowledge it earlier.
  10:32pm
SteveL:

So, the animal is head-butt butting? This is getting complicated.

Obits at #3! Great cover. Great stuff.
  10:32pm
Bill Roe:

MARBLE VANITY! YES! Thx dude!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:33pm
efd:

Hey Bill! I think you're going to be happy with my #1 single too...
  10:34pm
Bill Roe:

I think I know what it is!!! :)
  10:34pm
Seriously Troubled Quagmire:

@SteveL: Giggity!
  10:36pm
Holly in NC:

Yes!
  10:38pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

The countdowns tonight are better than the countdown to the fiscal cliff and even to the Mayan apocalypse last month.
  10:39pm
Droll:

Placing a Mellotron in the #1 spot makes up for Ruckus Roboticus being on any list above BrokeNCYDE.
  10:40pm
Bill Roe:

Feb 12th - JACCO GARDNER LP on Trouble In Mind - tour in March & SXSW too!
  10:41pm
steve:

love that airhorn
  10:46pm
Holly in NC:

Perfect musical background to overstimulate still playful #3 cat with the ever so frustrating laser pointer. The beasts are wearing me OUT tonight, they may get an unscheduled catnip party so they'll go crash...
  10:49pm
Danne D:

@Joe B Thank You :)
  10:52pm
steve:

loved that Gloria Edwards track... wow
  10:54pm
Danne D:

That premium was ridiculously good :)
  10:54pm
SteveL:

Holly: Drugs ARE the answer.
  10:54pm
Danne D:

This is wonderful :)
  10:55pm
G:

My favorite off that Michael S. premium...
  10:56pm
Catnip:

These are your cats.

These are your cats on drugs.

Any questions?
  10:56pm
tomk:

Just wanted to check in from the West coast. Looking forward to listening to this on repeat tomorrow all day long. Happy New Year everyone!
  10:56pm
SteveL:

This comp could be a regular seller in support of WFMU. I regret not getting it last year (although I adore my CanCon comp.)
  11:01pm
Holly in NC:

Laser pointer = bath salts, catnip = medicinal marijuana
  11:04pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Wow, those Sergio Valente's ARE fresh!
  11:05pm
Holly in NC:

Ooh, I'd forgotten about this Profile comp, nice.
  11:05pm
Paulie B:

So much for freshness being self-evident.
  11:06pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

Ah Profile Records!
  11:07pm
Holly in NC:

Noah makes efd's list twice, excellent!
  11:09pm
Matt Damon:

Dude!

Barkevious Shabazz:

Wanna buy a bridge?

@Barkevious best comp ever?

michael shelley:

This #9 is a #1
  11:30pm
keving:

A loop of the intro to this Explorers Club song would have made nice bed music for this show, combined with a Casey Kasem impersonation.
  11:32pm

oops my #2 guess at #6, drat

Danne D: Yeah, pretty sure he's gonna boxcar real bad around midnight.
