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.

EFD_Did you ever find the old CDR of the original bed music? I miss it.
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 9:41pm
Stevel:

Bark: I too recognize the difference. Not positive I have a preference, but the earlier bed masked American Woman a bit more, somehow, I think.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:42pm
efd:

@Barkevious, I haven't found it, but then again I haven't been looking. I think I still have the original .wav file though, maybe I'll re-burn it and alternate between the two.

I would support that1

We could run book on which bed efd would play on a given night. Just saying.

Saw Lloyd Cole last year. Cool show. I directly pimped efd, and Lloyd recalled enjoying being on the show. Funny guy, dry, dry humor.

Much misused, and 99% doesn't do any good use.

(I still habitually use them, though. Even when I have to stretch to use them with this ipad "keyboard".)

Yo Evan and rockers. Why does the app offer a video stream of the stalling tape?

And I recognize this voice. Alex Chilton or Chris Bell?

@KP, whatever it was, I missed it too. Maybe someone discussed eliminating all apostrophes from English because they're so misused?
  11:37pm

Ike, we should first eliminate the misusers.

And thanks.
