	9:55pm sugarwolf: Love the Miquel Brown!
	9:57pm Alex of Chicago: Dang. To be driving around the desert near Joshua Tree listening to WFMU live. We've arrived. (I lived near there before I had a cell phone.)
	10:03pm Uncle Michael: I took a disco nap. Now I'm almost ready for bed.
	10:03pm Jeff H: Yup, this sure is the future! How much longer before I can fly around the desert in my hovercraft or personal jet pack while listening to WFMU live :-) ? Will send you info on where we ate, Evan. Knock on wood!
	10:05pm Roberto: For children of the '70s like me, this was the definitive version of Knock on Wood.
	10:08pm adrian in mpls: this is so excellent! it's getting me dancing before i go out dancing!
	10:10pm efd: Alright, adrian! Glad you're enjoying it! Roberto, I'm with you.
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: I can't find my Qiana shirt.
	10:13pm Holly in NC: @UM - Would kill for a disco nap. And even more so, disco fries! @efd- my good wee friends liked Amii Stewart very much & requested "more like that, also 'Wrecking Ball' but don't tell mom or dad". So fuck it, I youtubed wrecking ball for them, but now they need something classy. Ring My Bell?
	10:15pm Mike Sin: Evan! Deliver the boogie down! We're in for the long haul! We're groovin'. Happy new year to you and S.L.!
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: Tell the little ones all about Andrea True.

	10:21pm john: Hey folks! Holly, sounds like the kids are ready for Arthur Russell.
	10:23pm efd: ooh, you might be on to something there john!
	10:25pm Lonely Planet Boy: thanks for playing this. i love this song!
	10:27pm Danne D: This song has a great video :)
	10:27pm efd: actually never mind john, I thought I had something Arthur Russell-related, but I was mistaken.
	10:27pm bkd69: Ridin' the Double Dutch Bus to 2015!
	10:28pm efd: LPB, my pleasure! I love that Jimmy "Bo" Horne tune - bought that LP from Monica at a record fair a couple of years ago!
	10:30pm Holly in NC: @john @efd = yes yes yes. Many Arthur Russell productions perfect for kids & me, what a great suggestion! NO THIS ( DOUBLE DUTCH BUS) IS BEST - KIDS & I DANCING ON SOFAS ETC I CAN DO THIS, BECAUSE I'LL CLEAN UP BEFORE 6 AM. SO MUCH FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) PS - Atomic Dog? Push It?
	10:31pm Lonely Planet Boy: my knowledge of "bo" is only due to your playing it before, efd. had never heard before. always a rush to get turned on to a "new" classic.
	10:32pm SeanG: love the double dutch bus!
	10:33pm steve: i bet you could get Amadeo to simultaneously sing and beatbox "Lets Go Swimming"
	10:34pm slugluv1313: DOUBLE DUTCH BUS!!!!! Yay!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR, EFD & WFMU-ers!!! Still @ work, but this jubilant excellent DISCO DANCE PARTY sure is making it a lot easier! THANK YOU, EFD, and here is to a fabulous 2015 to all!!!
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hour and a half to the new year. I'm breaking out the store-bought guacamole!
	10:35pm slugluv1313: ATOMIC DOG!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:35pm efd: whoa, pace yourself there Ken! :)
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: OH MAN>>>I HOPE THIS THE 12" or the ALBUM CUT!
	10:39pm Uncle Michael: Aww...sorry...I broke the no griping rule!
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: I hope the store bought guac is only being used for body painting.
	10:42pm slugluv1313: DEVIL'S GUN!!!! freakin awesome!!!! never had this way back when, nor had I ever been to Studio 54, but I did track down this 12" b/c Monica played it and mentioned that it was the first record to be played at Studio 54 :)
	10:45pm cosmic matrix: yay!
	10:47pm efd: I think griping for more "Devil's Gun" is acceptable in this case, UM
	10:51pm justinline: Great work Evan! Happy New Year to you and the entire WFMU family! I'm listening out here in Culver City, CA. Cheers.
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: I have no recollection of how I came to own a copy of the CJ & Co. LP...but it happened.
	10:55pm efd: I have the LP also, just felt like going with the single at that point.
	10:55pm t: Thanx Evan for the provided us the pre"Funk" disco soundtrack out here on the Salish Sea. Happy New Year!
	11:00pm efd: Hey t, my pleasure! Thanks for listening in!
	11:00pm JackScheff: Where are you at, t? I remember the Salish Sea fondly!
	11:01pm FernandoBelmondo: Already 2015 in Sao Paulo, but the party won't go away with the Disco Dance Party! Happy New Year Evan!
	11:02pm Danne D: Happy New Year Fernando :)
	11:03pm efd: Happy New Year Fernando! I played "Brazil" earlier, not sure if you were listening then though!
	11:03pm t: We're out on beautiful lopez island.
	11:04pm JackScheff: excellent!
	11:07pm Danne D: good game for me to play online poker by
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: I'm keeping the speakers going but not the keyboard. Happy New Year to everyone that appreciates, supports and makes WFMU what it is. Thanks for the wicked hot jams, Evan. See you all later.
	11:08pm efd: I admit I had to Google "Salish Sea." Now I want to go there.
	11:08pm efd: Thanks Uncle Michael, and the same to you!
	11:09pm Danne D: This is making my New Year's Eve better EFD :) Being a non-drinker I don't head out for New Year's unless it's to a definitive gathering. No such occurrence this year.
	11:09pm Fuzzy: @Danne: don't play Droid Hen -- the river rats are out tonight!
	11:12pm efd: Danne, I'd say this is the definitive gathering of choice for the evening!
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: This is making me want to hear "I Feel Love" while I'm still awake.
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: Peace...out!
	11:14pm t: You wouldn't regret it. Come on out here and check it out.
	11:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yoiks! Getting late. Soon will be time for microwave popcorn!
	11:14pm efd: ooh, could happen UM!
	11:15pm slugluv1313: Ooooooooo this "Great Expectations" -- pre-dates "In My House" but sure does remind me of that Mary Jane Girls song! Finishing up here in Jersey City, headed home to Hoboken -- HAPPY 2015, EVERYONE!!!!
	11:16pm Holly in NC: @Oh dear, kids & I missed Devil's Gun because well, one does not fuck around when making peanut brittle or marshmallows. Firm believer that kids need to do 'scary' stuff alone , with appropriate knowledge & tools - but yeah, since not my kids I'm hovering. Right now everything's cooling & kids like Sweet G . @sluglove1313 - Yo! Atomic Dog indeed! ;-) @efd rarely does requests because as a great, great dj he plans his sets, which I love to listen to & enjoy his vision... but every once in a while... we can hope! Push it also w/b nice. But that's less than unlikely. Hey! @UM got his Donna!
	11:16pm bkd69: I blame Giorgio Moroder for much of the 80's. Not that that's a bad thing.
	11:18pm fleep: I'd like to think cocaine shares some of the blame, but you're on to something.
	11:20pm steve: what a great remix
	11:21pm efd: Cowley + Moroder = magic.
	11:21pm Holly in NC: Fireworks/gunfire already started here, sigh. Have sparklers for the kids but not sure I have a lighter! Oh, why did I stop smoking ;-0
	11:23pm Danne D: @Holly keep your head down and your helmet and flackjacket on! And for god's sake don't go outside to have a cigarette when it's raining bullets out there! ;)
	11:24pm JackScheff: yeah EFD, hope you make it out to the Northwest sometime! glad to be in New York though
	11:25pm Modmarge: In luv with disco - fire island cherry grove 1978
	11:28pm Holly in NC: Have I mentioned that I adore any song that features a vocoder? Seriously, beyond, all reason. Back soon, hopefully.
	11:33pm efd: Be careful down there, Holly! Thanks for checking in Modmarge, fleep, bkd69, slugluv, JackSheff, Danne, and all listeners, commenters and lurkers everywhere!
	11:38pm fredr: I should have planned a 70's revival party around this whole soundscape Evan, but we're dancing our assess off here anyway. Thanks!
	11:38pm Holly in NC: @Danne - Very proudly have not had a cigarette in over 4 years, not even a puff. But I will never, ever ever fault or shame anyone who does still smoke - and I will always distrust people who've never smoked - they owe me a much greater burden of proof that they're interesting. I suspect both you & @efd never smoked, but you pass my interesting test nonetheless ;-) yay Neil Cloud! @efd, not dangerous where I'm at, this is "safe" gunfire. sigh ??!! I know. Not the time to discuss.
	11:39pm Richard from Venezuela: 12:10 am in Venezuela. Happy new year!!
	11:40pm Eddy in Australia: Greetings from 2015 (it's 3:30pm on January 1 here), and Happy New Year to everyone. At the risk of sounding trite, listening to EFD live on (my) Thursdays was one of the rare and consistent bright spots of a lousy 2014. Thanks for everything, Evan.
	11:40pm Holly in NC: @Richard - Happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:40pm Eddy in Australia: Side note: I finally saw Supermensch this week and it contains an interesting section on Teddy Pendergrass.
	11:40pm efd: Happy New Year to you Richard and Eddy! How's it going so far?
	11:41pm Holly in NC: @Eddy - super Happy new year!!!!!!!!!
	11:45pm efd: thanks for the kind words Eddy, much appreciated. Here's to a better 2015!
	11:47pm Holly in NC: Found kitchen matches for sparklers, all is well with the world.
	11:49pm Eddy in Australia: Holly: Same to you. Gunfire???! EFD: So far so good. Pretty jaunty show to wake up to!
	11:51pm Danne D: won 21.88 at poker to end the year tonight :)
	11:53pm efd: Congrats Danne! Better that than losing $21.88. :)
	11:54pm Marcel M: yoooo new years bros
	11:55pm Danne D: Indeed :) turned $9.50 into $31.38 - always a good thing :)
	11:55pm Danne D: S'up Marcel :)
	11:55pm Holly in NC: @Eddy - Unfortunately it's true that more American than not own guns (not me, fwiw) - including the very, very upper middle class neighborhood I'm in tonight, as well as my own home lower middle class 'hood, as well as.. well you get the idea. But upper middle class gun owners usually just like to make noise [these are liberal upper middle class gun owners] ;-) Yeah, if not for spiders and current gov't I'd have already moved to your country!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 31, 2014

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.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show playlists | Next playlist -->

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!

December 31, 2014: SIX HOUR New Year's Eve Disco/Dance Party!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

For the first time in seven years it's a NEW YEAR'S EVE Disco/Dance Party! And this time it's an extra-special SIX HOUR show as I stick around after midnight and fill in for Nickel and Dime Radio with $mall ¢hange!
As usual I'll be spinning some classic jams from the mid-'70s and early '80s, along with some of the lesser-known nuggets. It's the kind of show that makes you say "I haven't heard this in 35 years" and "why haven't I heard this before?!" Plus we'll have the always-popular Classic Rock Disco Block! And of course we'll count down to the new year in the Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones!

Disco/dance disclaimer! I'm keeping the lines blurry and using "disco" and "dance" as catch-all terms for my own take on fun dance music from the mid-70s to the early '80s, expanding the boundaries (and sound) of the traditional disco era. No griping, please!

	10:03pm Uncle Michael: I took a disco nap. Now I'm almost ready for bed.
	10:03pm Jeff H: Yup, this sure is the future! How much longer before I can fly around the desert in my hovercraft or personal jet pack while listening to WFMU live :-) ? Will send you info on where we ate, Evan. Knock on wood!
	10:05pm Roberto: For children of the '70s like me, this was the definitive version of Knock on Wood.

	10:11pm Uncle Michael: I can't find my Qiana shirt.
	10:13pm Holly in NC: @UM - Would kill for a disco nap. And even more so, disco fries! @efd- my good wee friends liked Amii Stewart very much & requested "more like that, also 'Wrecking Ball' but don't tell mom or dad". So fuck it, I youtubed wrecking ball for them, but now they need something classy. Ring My Bell?

	10:27pm Danne D: This song has a great video :)
	10:27pm efd: actually never mind john, I thought I had something Arthur Russell-related, but I was mistaken.
	10:27pm bkd69: Ridin' the Double Dutch Bus to 2015!
	10:28pm efd: LPB, my pleasure! I love that Jimmy "Bo" Horne tune - bought that LP from Monica at a record fair a couple of years ago!
	10:30pm Holly in NC: @john @efd = yes yes yes. Many Arthur Russell productions perfect for kids & me, what a great suggestion! NO THIS ( DOUBLE DUTCH BUS) IS BEST - KIDS & I DANCING ON SOFAS ETC I CAN DO THIS, BECAUSE I'LL CLEAN UP BEFORE 6 AM. SO MUCH FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) PS - Atomic Dog? Push It?
	10:31pm Lonely Planet Boy: my knowledge of "bo" is only due to your playing it before, efd. had never heard before. always a rush to get turned on to a "new" classic.
	10:32pm SeanG: love the double dutch bus!
	10:33pm steve: i bet you could get Amadeo to simultaneously sing and beatbox "Lets Go Swimming"
	10:34pm slugluv1313: DOUBLE DUTCH BUS!!!!! Yay!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR, EFD & WFMU-ers!!! Still @ work, but this jubilant excellent DISCO DANCE PARTY sure is making it a lot easier! THANK YOU, EFD, and here is to a fabulous 2015 to all!!!

	10:38pm Uncle Michael: OH MAN>>>I HOPE THIS THE 12" or the ALBUM CUT!
	10:39pm Uncle Michael: Aww...sorry...I broke the no griping rule!
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: I hope the store bought guac is only being used for body painting.
	10:42pm slugluv1313: DEVIL'S GUN!!!! freakin awesome!!!! never had this way back when, nor had I ever been to Studio 54, but I did track down this 12" b/c Monica played it and mentioned that it was the first record to be played at Studio 54 :)
	10:45pm cosmic matrix: yay!
	10:47pm efd: I think griping for more "Devil's Gun" is acceptable in this case, UM
	10:51pm justinline: Great work Evan! Happy New Year to you and the entire WFMU family! I'm listening out here in Culver City, CA. Cheers.
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: I have no recollection of how I came to own a copy of the CJ & Co. LP...but it happened.
	10:55pm efd: I have the LP also, just felt like going with the single at that point.
	10:55pm t: Thanx Evan for the provided us the pre"Funk" disco soundtrack out here on the Salish Sea. Happy New Year!

	11:00pm JackScheff: Where are you at, t? I remember the Salish Sea fondly!
	11:01pm FernandoBelmondo: Already 2015 in Sao Paulo, but the party won't go away with the Disco Dance Party! Happy New Year Evan!

	11:07pm Danne D: good game for me to play online poker by
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: I'm keeping the speakers going but not the keyboard. Happy New Year to everyone that appreciates, supports and makes WFMU what it is. Thanks for the wicked hot jams, Evan. See you all later.
	11:08pm efd: I admit I had to Google "Salish Sea." Now I want to go there.
	11:08pm efd: Thanks Uncle Michael, and the same to you!
	11:09pm Danne D: This is making my New Year's Eve better EFD :) Being a non-drinker I don't head out for New Year's unless it's to a definitive gathering. No such occurrence this year.
	11:09pm Fuzzy: @Danne: don't play Droid Hen -- the river rats are out tonight!
	11:12pm efd: Danne, I'd say this is the definitive gathering of choice for the evening!
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: This is making me want to hear "I Feel Love" while I'm still awake.
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: Peace...out!
	11:14pm t: You wouldn't regret it. Come on out here and check it out.
	11:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yoiks! Getting late. Soon will be time for microwave popcorn!
	11:14pm efd: ooh, could happen UM!
	11:15pm slugluv1313: Ooooooooo this "Great Expectations" -- pre-dates "In My House" but sure does remind me of that Mary Jane Girls song! Finishing up here in Jersey City, headed home to Hoboken -- HAPPY 2015, EVERYONE!!!!
	11:16pm Holly in NC: @Oh dear, kids & I missed Devil's Gun because well, one does not fuck around when making peanut brittle or marshmallows. Firm believer that kids need to do 'scary' stuff alone , with appropriate knowledge & tools - but yeah, since not my kids I'm hovering. Right now everything's cooling & kids like Sweet G . @sluglove1313 - Yo! Atomic Dog indeed! ;-) @efd rarely does requests because as a great, great dj he plans his sets, which I love to listen to & enjoy his vision... but every once in a while... we can hope! Push it also w/b nice. But that's less than unlikely. Hey! @UM got his Donna!
	11:16pm bkd69: I blame Giorgio Moroder for much of the 80's. Not that that's a bad thing.
	11:18pm fleep: I'd like to think cocaine shares some of the blame, but you're on to something.
	11:20pm steve: what a great remix
	11:21pm efd: Cowley + Moroder = magic.
	11:21pm Holly in NC: Fireworks/gunfire already started here, sigh. Have sparklers for the kids but not sure I have a lighter! Oh, why did I stop smoking ;-0
	11:23pm Danne D: @Holly keep your head down and your helmet and flackjacket on! And for god's sake don't go outside to have a cigarette when it's raining bullets out there! ;)
	11:24pm JackScheff: yeah EFD, hope you make it out to the Northwest sometime! glad to be in New York though
	11:25pm Modmarge: In luv with disco - fire island cherry grove 1978
	11:28pm Holly in NC: Have I mentioned that I adore any song that features a vocoder? Seriously, beyond, all reason. Back soon, hopefully.
	11:33pm efd: Be careful down there, Holly! Thanks for checking in Modmarge, fleep, bkd69, slugluv, JackSheff, Danne, and all listeners, commenters and lurkers everywhere!
	11:38pm fredr: I should have planned a 70's revival party around this whole soundscape Evan, but we're dancing our assess off here anyway. Thanks!
	11:38pm Holly in NC: @Danne - Very proudly have not had a cigarette in over 4 years, not even a puff. But I will never, ever ever fault or shame anyone who does still smoke - and I will always distrust people who've never smoked - they owe me a much greater burden of proof that they're interesting. I suspect both you & @efd never smoked, but you pass my interesting test nonetheless ;-) yay Neil Cloud! @efd, not dangerous where I'm at, this is "safe" gunfire. sigh ??!! I know. Not the time to discuss.
	11:39pm Richard from Venezuela: 12:10 am in Venezuela. Happy new year!!
	11:40pm Eddy in Australia: Greetings from 2015 (it's 3:30pm on January 1 here), and Happy New Year to everyone. At the risk of sounding trite, listening to EFD live on (my) Thursdays was one of the rare and consistent bright spots of a lousy 2014. Thanks for everything, Evan.
	11:40pm Holly in NC: @Richard - Happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:40pm Eddy in Australia: Side note: I finally saw Supermensch this week and it contains an interesting section on Teddy Pendergrass.
	11:40pm efd: Happy New Year to you Richard and Eddy! How's it going so far?
	11:41pm Holly in NC: @Eddy - super Happy new year!!!!!!!!!
	11:45pm efd: thanks for the kind words Eddy, much appreciated. Here's to a better 2015!
	11:47pm Holly in NC: Found kitchen matches for sparklers, all is well with the world.
	11:49pm Eddy in Australia: Holly: Same to you. Gunfire???! EFD: So far so good. Pretty jaunty show to wake up to!
	11:51pm Danne D: won 21.88 at poker to end the year tonight :)
	11:53pm efd: Congrats Danne! Better that than losing $21.88. :)
	11:54pm Marcel M: yoooo new years bros

	11:55pm Danne D: S'up Marcel :)
	11:55pm Holly in NC: @Eddy - Unfortunately it's true that more American than not own guns (not me, fwiw) - including the very, very upper middle class neighborhood I'm in tonight, as well as my own home lower middle class 'hood, as well as.. well you get the idea. But upper middle class gun owners usually just like to make noise [these are liberal upper middle class gun owners] ;-) Yeah, if not for spiders and current gov't I'd have already moved to your country!

	12:06am doca: Hey! May I join the dance party? I've already celebrated New Year three hours before, now I'm celebrating again
	12:06am efd: Come on in doca, we've got another three hours to go!
