WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from July 8, 2015

Listener comments!
	9:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh right! - that's why I liked Supergrass...
	9:07pm john: Boy, did I show up at the right time! If southern rock didn't suck, it'd be Drivin 'n Cryin!
	9:09pm JakeGould: Hey America!
	9:09pm Loretta: hi everyone!!!
	9:10pm P-90: This child of the 70's will always have a soft spot for Southern Rock. Greetings efd and funksters all.
	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course, in a sense, 'Southern Rock' is redundant - because it was born there (like most American music). I love Son Volt & a lot of Alt-Country - & R.E.M. is from Georgia...'cetera...
	9:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: WHTG Part I was May 15, 2015 - www.wfmu.org...
	9:17pm Figgsrock: Jeebus EFD, this is a kick ass start.
	9:19pm steveplusone: great stuff so far! love ash!
	9:19pm efd: Thanks for that link Ken FHP, and thanks and hi everybody! Tonight we're going to try to squeeze in a bunch of the music we didn't get to last time - hope you enjoy!
	9:19pm Ike: Cool!
	9:29pm Figgsrock: Holy crap--I remember Frozen Ghost! I always thought it was The Fixx when I first heard it.
	9:30pm jmd: @Figgs. me too.
	9:30pm chris_in_space: Been looking forward to tonight's show all week. Good to be here. Good to be anywhere, really. I have EFD up on the volume and Jays vs White Sox on the visuals with the audio down. Currently 4-4, ^5.
	9:40pm jon: hi efd. hi everybody
	9:42pm Holly in NC: Hi efd & all! Sorry I'm late, moving in to new dog sitting gig so I'll be quietly listening via phone downstairs while unpacking and making dinner (or brinner, as it were from my perspective). Lilly the GSD and I are excited about the show.
	9:44pm efd: Hi Holly, good to see you! Thanks for popping in!
	9:45pm chris_in_space: Holly, what is meant by "brinner"?
	9:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (brinner = dinner as 1st meal of the day or breakfast; not 'brunch' but 'brinner'...)
	9:50pm Holly in NC: breakfast + dinner. e.g., I've not anything but 2 liters of water & tea & some wee snacks today, which is not advised, but was 1 of those days.
	9:50pm john: jon astley was also pete townshend's brother-in-law, which may have opened a door or two in the '70s when his production career got going
	9:52pm JakeGould: @Holly: If it’s any consolation/commiseration I had some fairly horrible stomach/back issues for the past few days and I think I ate one meal a day for 2 days in a row with tons of water and that’s it… Some honey and molasses mixed in a few times. So hey… It’s not the best plan but every now and then we all have reasons to be on some extreme diet.
	9:56pm Paul D: I LOVE this might lemon drops song.
	9:56pm chris_in_space: I am friggin lovin this show tonight.
	9:57pm Paul D: same
	9:58pm Holly in NC: Yay Mighty Lemon Drops!
	9:58pm Kat in Chicago: Ack! Wish I'd tuned in at the start of this. The Mighty Lemon Drops sound fresher than I would've expected. Hi errybody :)
	9:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - real strong tracks, yeah.
	9:59pm chris_in_space: Hi Kat, hi Holly, Paul, everyone.
	10:00pm Paul D: Hi Chris
	10:00pm cheri: hey, holly, I hope that you're feeling much better tonight, also that was a great show you had the other night!
	10:01pm cheri: greetings efd!
	10:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Holly. When you mentioned dog sitting, it reminded of this video I saw recently - youtu.be... (Be warned: vertical phone cam recording.)
	10:08pm cheri: btw efd, happy post-holiday weekend!
	10:09pm Figgsrock: Something Happens!!!! Played the hell outta this at WICB in Ithaca. I could kiss you guys for playing this.
	10:19pm Judy: HEY! "Waspish Massachusetts accent?...you got a problem with THAT?
	10:22pm Paul D: I thought this was the cult at first.
	10:22pm efd: If it wasn't 20 past 10 I'd be wondering if that comment was from my Mom...?!
	10:26pm cheri: efd, i'm enjoying the show tonight
	10:27pm chris_in_space: Tonight's show is a real keeper.
	10:27pm Holly in NC: I guess I have a N'Haven CT area slash Western Mass Pioneer Valley slash Durhm NC acccent, which sounds at home exactly nowhere. But Western Mass accent suppost the "perfect " U.S. accent.
	10:29pm Paul D: mmmm this whole ocean blue album is good
	10:32pm cheri: holly like I said earlier, what a wonderful show you put together sunday night!
	10:43pm Holly in NC: Thank you Cheri, but Gaylord deserves ALL the love and praise. A very special man. Meanwhile let's listen to efd, our hero ;-)
	10:49pm efd: I'm torturing Jerry right now by not telling him the name of this song.
	10:50pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Parts of Western Mass, along with Connecticut and even Rhode Island, exhibit the Northern Cities Vowel Shift, making folks there sound vaguely Midwestern.
	10:52pm cheri: good job evan, keep it up!
	10:58pm Holly in NC: Oh, I had forgotten about this "other" Dead Milkmen song.... what fun!
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago: Literally laughing out loud at The Dead Milkmen. Forgot all about this one.
	11:00pm cheri: well I have to check out for tonight guys, see you all real soon, also i'll see you next week evan! night.
	11:00pm Tommy: This show is as good as Trump's hair do is bad
	11:04pm timurf: pickitup pickitup pickitup pickitup!
	11:05pm timurf: mock turtle soup next
	11:15pm Sybil: Greetings all! I've been enjoying the show while preparing my late supper. Finally not on my crazy schedule so I can actually listen while awake! (and: coffee!)
	11:17pm efd: hey Sybil! Nice to see you, thanks for saying hi!
	11:20pm PJ: I saw the Dancing Hoods open for somebody and went out and bought this album - hard to believe it was the same guy in Sparklehorse.
	11:24pm Figgsrock: Bourgeois Tagg!!! Damn, been a long time since I heard this.
	11:27pm Sybil: I have just installed Shazam on my laptop tonight, and it's so far only caught two songs. This one (I don't mind at all) being the second. For real, Shazam? Of course, I'm probably confusing it by also having the baseball game from Chavez Ravine on at the same time... Oh, yoyo :( OK< now it's caught the next song. That's more like it.
	11:29pm cheri: i hope you have a great week evan!
	11:30pm Sybil: ... and now it's identified a new song which isn't playing at all, while the former song is still on. ???
	11:30pm Holly in NC: I LOVE Dancing Hoods' 12 Jealous Roses lp - "Surfing All Over the World" is an especially great track. Yeah, Sparklehorse, who could see that coming?!
	11:32pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't know you could put Shazam on your laptop!
	11:38pm cheri: see you soon holly, goodnight!
	11:42pm Ike & the Head of a Dead Ram & the Faceless Ocean: WHTG, WHFS, WOXY... oh yeah.
	11:44pm cheri: I got to tell you holly, it was fun hanging out tonight.
	11:50pm Ike: Welcome to Troll Acres, a planned community (TM Cecile, 2012).
	11:51pm BriJet: Awesome tunes! ;)
	11:53pm johnk77: great selecting tonight efd screaming blue messiahs rocked hard and sounded great live back in the mid eighties
	11:56pm JakeGould: Hey folks. Let’s think about the positive. Like this show. Hooray!
	11:57pm efd: thanks everyone! This was a lot of fun. Hookworms recorded live at Primavera on next week's show!
	11:58pm Sybil: Thanks for another great show, efd! Goodnight all!
	11:59pm chris_in_space: That last set was as good as any I've heard on FMU all year.
	12:00am Sybil: 1987...
	12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Good show tonight and looking forward to those Hookworms.
	12:02am chris_in_space: Thans Evan and everyone on the show and out here. A great night of radio
	11:24am Mark in Toronto: Frozen Ghost fulfills your Can Con requirement, as they were Canadian, not German. They sound so very 80's Canadian
	1:55pm efd: Ahhh, I should have known! Thanks Mark. I guess this means I played Rock And Hyde and the Northern Pikes for nothing. :)
	5:11pm murcuryvapor: Noted absences: Wire Fishbone Love and Rockets The Wonderstuff Julian Cope De La Soul PWEI PiL Echo and the Bunnymen Jesus and Mary Chain even Scruffy the Cat (my baby she's alright) I'm sure there are others...is there another show planned? Some of these acts were like glue that cemented the rest of these lesser-knowns together in the rotation, and allowed them to float. IMHO, this is a very pallid set. You need to pepper the 'bigger' alt acts in to have this playlist make any sense.
	10:01pm efd: I don't expect that Mr. Vapor will be returning to this page, but here's a brief response nonetheless. 1. Murcuryvapor is certainly entitled to his opinion, and clearly if he were going to do a couple of shows saluting WHTG he would choose different artists/songs from the ones that I and the two former WHTG DJs chose. That's fine, but I stand by our selections. 2. One of the points of this show and the first one that I did in May was to highlight the many great "lesser-knowns" that I used to hear on WHTG. I'm pretty sure murcuryvapor didn't actually listen to the show, because if he had that would have been clear and he wouldn't have said something as silly as "You need to pepper the 'bigger' alt acts in to have this playlist make any sense." 3. I played a Wonder Stuff song on the first WHTG tribute show we did in May. 4. There isn't a part 3 planned at the moment, but if and when there is a part 3 I guarantee that it will be equally free of "glue."
