	9:23pm listnr 126 344: for me, 2017 is the year of the Bedazzler.
	9:25pm efd: @126 344 tune in for my Best Of 2017 show in a few weeks to see if that holds true!
	9:26pm neocent: for me, 2017 was the year of one of those pens that when you click it the girls clothes come off
	9:26pm V Priceless: hey efunkd. RIP Pat D. Great human.
	9:30pm Stevel: Missed the first set, but I'll catch up!
	9:32pm Switchblade Batman: 16 years? Shit, way to make a guy feel old @EFD
	9:33pm Switchblade Batman: Granted I also completely forgot that the Hives were a thing too, BUT still...
	9:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Congrats to The Cars for their upcoming entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
	9:36pm medson: 9X5=45
	9:38pm listnr 126 344: i think small change did a mashup of that hives song with salt npepa, ‘lisas got the hives’ on a premium awhile back, I gotta look for it...
	9:40pm medson: First CD I ever purchased was by the Smithereens
	9:41pm Mailman Tom: I bought the Smithereens first LP.
	9:41pm efd: I think you're right, 126 344. @medson, which one?
	9:41pm V Priceless: Brilliant songsmith : (
	9:43pm medson: Green Thoughts. I was on the fence if I wanted to start buying CD's
	9:44pm Alex d'Chicago: walking the dog to the smithereens
	9:45pm efd: sadly Green Thoughts is missing from both the WFMU and EFD record libraries
	9:46pm Stevel: Behind the Wall of Sleep. Strong song. Best to all.
	9:46pm medson: If I still had it I'd bring it down
	9:47pm efd: haha! Appreciate the thought!
	9:51pm efd: I have this single though!
	9:52pm Peter Dover NJ: thank you for the Smithereens tribute. I saw them at Wallace's in South Orange NJ b4 they had a record out. Great, compelling band. RIP Pat diNizio.
	9:52pm medson: Love this
	9:53pm Stevel: Such a great band!
	9:56pm Stevel: Killer!
	9:57pm Chop Scott: Damn--Pat DiNizio. OUCH. Thanks for playing and so sorry to hear this news
	9:57pm Firebottle: THE HIT!
	9:58pm Figgsrock: One of the best songs to ever peak at #38 on the Hot 100. Maybe the best.
	9:59pm efd: really criminal that wasn't a gargantuan hit.
	10:02pm joe: 'ello folks
	10:07pm medson: Great NJ Band for sure
	10:08pm Ajax: Last night I was looking through my records and found one that I don't remember buying : Roadmaster. "What is this?" I wondered, and played it to my '70s AOR delight. Today at work I tried to find out who this band was and found very little info. Then I tuned into EFD, who somehow played Roadmaster ! What the what? How? Who? Huh? Why? In conclusion, Godspeed EFD and all the world's coincidences.
	10:09pm chobro: rip,pat---great-set,EFD-[my-space-bar-is-broken,GRRR]
	10:10pm efd: @ajax GTFOH, that is insane! Was it the Fortress album??
	10:11pm joe: Pat DiNizio as guest on Diane Kamikaze's Peer Preasure 10/23/2014 wfmu.org...
	10:12pm efd: ah, good looking out joe - thanks
	10:13pm joe: One of my favorite parts is that he chooses Black Sabbath's Behind the Wall of Sleep as one of his songs to play :)
	10:14pm medson: This Flatworms album is great
	10:15pm Alex of Chicago: luv it
	10:15pm joe: I've been turned on to a lot of great stuff on Castle FAce records recently.
	10:17pm medson: They're a great label. Matt Jones/Male Gaze did a sick live set on. Burn it Down a month or two ago
	10:18pm johnk77: nytimes obit https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/13/obituaries/pat-dinizio-singer-and-songwriter-for-the-smithereens-dies-at-62.html w/dennis diken quotes
	10:18pm Joe R.: thanks for The Smithereens set, Evan. Was lucky to see them a couple of times at The Court Tavern — R.I.P. and thanks, Pat
	10:23pm Ajax: It wasn't Fortress, the Roadmaster LP I have is their aptly named 2nd LP "Sweet Music". I still think it's plenty weird that we both played Roadmaster within a day of each other though.
	10:29pm DJ E: Greetings Mr. Funk from sunny-ish Florida!
	10:32pm efd: hey there DJ E! Whereabouts in FLA? @Ajax, yes, 100% agree!
	10:36pm Number Six: Nice Belbury Circle track. I wonder if the title has anything to do with Cloudburst Flight from Tangerine Dream.
	10:37pm efd: did I skip over the Flatworms track in that last mic break? I feel like I did.
	10:37pm medson: yes : )
	10:38pm efd: >:\|
	10:38pm efd: I was just putting the CD away and was like "I don't think I said Flatworms out loud in that break" dammit
	10:39pm medson: it happens.
	10:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: New OMD? Cool!
	10:54pm DJ E: West Palm Beach! the birthplace of Dickie Betts!
	10:59pm listnr 126 344: whens the EFD Holiday Funktacular?! Ill be there
	10:59pm Barkevious Shabazz: 2 Steps from the Middle Ages is flat out marvy.
	11:01pm efd: Holiday Funktacular is next week!
	11:02pm Alex of Chicago: This song pairs well with big cats in the Amazon. youtu.be...
	11:02pm medson: For some reason this beat Reminds me of a Tonio K song. Am I way off on this?
	11:14pm medson: Psychic Ills is the way to go
	11:16pm efd: those were the first ones to go!
	11:17pm medson: Nice
	11:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: This Oh Sees track is a winner.
	11:23pm efd: agree!

	11:29pm GListener MW: I love Ted Leo but I can’t be alone in finding this the most-Meh song I’ve heard from him :/
	11:30pm Alex of Chicago: i'll admit that i was aware but mostly ignored early ted leo (don't @ me). but this album makes me want to correct that.
	11:31pm Alex of Chicago: lol
	11:34pm efd: that was a pretty good juxtaposition of comments
	11:38pm riderz49: Please something by The Sounds.
	11:39pm medson: This Blaha track is great
	11:51pm Alex of Chicago: stiff
	11:52pm efd: would be at home on that label... elvis c meets gerry rafferty?

	11:55pm Alex of Chicago: Yeah, thanks again. Had a good time
	11:55pm efd: thank you all! Xmaz jamz next week!

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.

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!
