WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 26, 2017

Listener comments!
	9:04pm JakeGould: Yes! This Chuck Berry via ELO!
	9:04pm V Priceless: hey efd !
	♥ 9:04pm Drunken Creep: Heck yeah on the ELO
	9:05pm Stevel: I have the whole evening ahead of me. Thunder storms are rolling by and efd is on the digital airwaves! Hallelujah!
	9:05pm fleep: Move on up now! Greetings efd
	9:06pm A.T.F.: How many tours of amerika has jeff lynye canceled due to lack of sales.....book smaller...
	9:07pm Stevel: It's blowing now, baby!!!
	9:08pm P-90: These little trips to The Eighties always warm the cockles of my heart. Hi efd and Funksters
	♥ 9:10pm efd: SEVENTIES, P-90! Seventies.
	9:10pm Stevel: BOOM! Little dogs flying by! If I was still at the newspaper, I might have to drive out in this. But I don't!
	♥ 9:11pm Drunken Creep: @ATF, it's funny because Jeff Lynne is a major legend, and it seems like the music industry knows that, but the general public does not. For instance decades ago when I discovered traveling wilburys, he was the one guy I knew nothing about. Now after combing the ELO and solo catalog I see the guy has written and recorded dozens of incredible songs. It's interesting that Tom Petty sells out big tours (I think) and Jeff Lynne does not.
	9:13pm P-90: Ooooops, seventies is what I meant. Or The Seventies.
	9:13pm A.T.F.: Alot of uk talent never sits right to us yanks.
	9:17pm fleep: The radio edit of ELO ROB that charted was shorter, yes? Or is that another brain cell over the side.
	♥ 9:17pm efd: stay safe out there, Stevel! Hope you've got that hand-cranked internet radio at the ready.
	♥ 9:18pm efd: definitely was a shorter edit for Top 40 radio.
	9:19pm Stevel: Oh, I'm good unless we lose the cell tower. (Muy dramatic, eh?)
	9:20pm A.T.F.: The nyc weather is a little rough????64 degrees and dark as death here in delaware co. ny...
	♥ 9:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Legend has it that two generations ago, the Wednesday night radio DJ was GrandFunk "Railroad" Davies.
	9:23pm Stevel: I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sorry about Pence, but we don't miss him as governor. Lightning (lots of it) moving off to the northeast.
	9:23pm A.T.F.: Who is this singer.....please tell...
	9:24pm Stevel: Ken: Lots of people say that.
	♥ 9:25pm Drunken Creep: @fleep, there are a couple of versions of ELO ROB, including one where the band makes funny/rude noises into the microphones for about 30 seconds or so
	♥ 9:25pm chris_in_space: Hey all. A week without @efd's theme song just ain't right. It's good to be here!
	9:28pm A.T.F.: Ron Bausch thanks google
	9:30pm Stevel: That's some deep nerd diving, re Blue Planet. I heartily approve.
	9:36pm Alex of Chicago: Beach, ballgame, avoided rain, and now EFD. Pretty good day.
	♥ 9:38pm efd: Beach?!
	9:39pm Stevel: That guitar riff by The Pacifics. Top level!
	9:40pm Stevel: Alex. How cold is the lake?
	9:42pm A.T.F.: FUZZ.....
	9:43pm Alex of Chicago: @Stevel A little too chilly for me, but the dog didn't mind. It was 70 this morning.
	9:43pm pp: you really got me with that last song
	9:45pm A.T.F.: is 13 o'clock like the 31st of febuary
	9:48pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yeah, pp, I was hesitating on saying anything!
	9:53pm fleep: It just got a lot louder in here.
	9:53pm #126344: yooooooo!!! the bedazzler
	9:54pm Julie M Brooklyn: Volume just went up. What a great way to drown out this Met game.
	9:54pm slowbear: Oh hell yeah this song
	♥ 9:55pm Bootsie: YEESSSSSS!!
	9:55pm Mailman Tom: Nice
	♥ 9:56pm Bootsie: And a Karen song I've not heard of before. Bonus! (Karen is my alter-ego)
	9:58pm A.T.F.: 80s style
	9:59pm #126344: this song is good too. Need to hear the bedazzler again though. Come on people whose with me??
	♥ 10:00pm Bootsie: @126344 more like "who isn't?"
	10:00pm Manny Machado: Bro, my jam.
	10:01pm pp: Julie M phrase it in a way that if you're wrong, it's ambiguous :)
	10:01pm A.T.F.: I am so glad i dont have neighbors and can pump it up to the threshold of pain..
	10:07pm #126344: stellar set
	10:08pm Stevel: I would not file a complaint if efd played Bedazzler, again.
	10:11pm A.T.F.: Killed by keyboards...
	10:14pm Anon Freq Cmtr: love those Holograms

	♥ 10:17pm melinda: hi people

	10:24pm A.T.F.: This almost has as many hooks as bedazler...
	♥ 10:26pm Bootsie: Cait Brennan always sounds a bit Sparks-ish to me. That's not a bad thing.
	10:29pm #126344: im your #1 fan
	♥ 10:30pm efd: I'm only going to be there on Sunday - have some other commitments this weekend.
	♥ 10:31pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Thanks for keeping me company tonight efd. I just drove a bunch of kids around Jersey City for Lyft. Had WFMU on. Received a few compliments on the tunes :-)
	10:31pm A.T.F.: I love this old stereo stuff....sounds..
	10:35pm A.T.F.: Karen carpenter lives..
	♥ 10:40pm chris_in_space: @Jeff formerly from Rahway: passing an un-prompted kid test is always a good feeling for the selector.
	10:40pm A.T.F.: ultimate painting????
	♥ 10:43pm melinda: I just read that Jonathan Demme died. Sad.
	10:46pm Ignore Function: I saw the Zombies play Odessey(sic) a few weeks Ago. It was great.
	♥ 10:47pm Drunken Creep: Its crazy that b cumberbatch was named after that song, even though he was born before it was written
