	9:09pm steveL: Brian Ferry. Good lord, what a talent.
	9:10pm efd: He knows a thing or two about a thing or two
	9:13pm steveL: From the wiki: 3] Peter York described Ferry as "an art object" who "should hang in the Tate".[4] Is that a compliment? I mean, British dry sense of humor, and all.
	9:14pm steveL: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP ...
	9:14pm Bootsie: My 2nd fave B-52s!

	9:19pm Bootsie: And yaaay Tinted Windows!!!
	9:21pm efd: @Bootsie I think your FB post helped put Tinted Windows in my head!
	9:27pm Bootsie: @efd cool!
	9:29pm steveL: Three cheers for positive social media influence!!
	9:35pm efd: where's that airhorn when you need it??
	9:36pm efd: and hello to each and every one of you, happy to have you listening tonight!
	9:38pm Tome: Wed night is great always right @ home here too : ahhh the breeze coming in t he window now too so refreshing ,,,
	9:40pm Alex d'Chicago: enjoying the show while walking the dog
	9:46pm Bootsie: Waaaaaah... I just found out The Scientists gig was cancelled
	9:46pm efd: oh shoot, I hadn't heard that yet myself!
	9:47pm steveL: Did you play Lysol, last week? Someone did, and I followed them on Bandcamp. Social media EXTRA!!
	9:47pm medson: Hey efd. Spinning those 45's
	9:53pm efd: @steveL I played them a few weeks ago, but there are a lot of initials on the front so you may well have heard it on someone else's show last week.
	9:54pm efd: Hey medson! The rare irl/comments page combo appearance!
	9:54pm Mike tp: the merchants are tight efd
	9:56pm efd: yeah I was kind of annoyed when I saw Nate was having them on over the summer because I was going to go after them! :D
	10:03pm jmd: Why did the Scientists show get cancelled?
	10:04pm chris_in_space: Loving the no agenda, no pressure vibe of tonight's show.
	10:06pm Aitch: Scientists would be really old. Many of their contemporaries dying lately. Nice to hear Bon Scott AC/DC speaking of which.
	10:08pm Scraps: h’lo hm
	10:09pm efd: hiya Scraps! Long time no see.
	10:09pm efd: @jmd no idea, I just found out myself
	10:10pm medson: @aitch ya think people in their 60's is really old?
	10:11pm chris_in_space: @medson, a resounding no over here to 60-something as old.
	10:12pm jmd: This jam is right up there with Devastator!
	10:13pm Scraps: @efd, I know. I’m on an earlier self-imposed schedule and I’m trying to stick with it, so you might see me more regularly. Though sometimes my pain makes me lie down and not comment (still listen, though)
	10:13pm efd: it's about 4 minutes too short!
	10:13pm Aitch: I first saw them in 1983 and they were all pretty wasted even then. The were supporting The Birthday Party, I reckon long term survival of most of the crowd there that night was marginal.
	10:13pm Chop Scott: Evan! Thanks for the proper Bon Scott infusion!
	10:19pm Scraps: Total Rejection is still not on RateYourMusic, which means very obscure (on Discogs, though, but they are not as good as RYM for where the band is from)
	10:21pm Scraps: Yay Yachts!
	10:22pm Phillippe Bastille: This was a helluva good album
	10:23pm efd: I was so psyched when I heard this collection was coming out!
	10:23pm Phillippe Bastille: This, Jonah Lewie, the first Corgis album, and something from Shoes were on regular rotation in Casa Bastille
	10:24pm Scraps: I don’t have =Without Radar=, so I will get that 3cd set.... eventually
	10:25pm Phillippe Bastille: @EFD want a good deal on the original vinyl lol?
	10:25pm Rocky Horror: The Yachts go Yatzzee!!!
	10:27pm efd: No need, @Phillippe! :)
	10:27pm Scraps: I like this!
	10:28pm Phillippe Bastille: good to hear.
	10:31pm Blues Mandinga: Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia!
	10:34pm efd: Greetings back to you, Blues
	10:35pm steveL: Faster, master!
	10:36pm Phillippe Bastille: @efd when I was in college about 4 decades ago, I had several very part time jobs. One paid for gas and an occasional date, another paid for alcohol, and the third paid for records. And yes, I actually parsed the money that way. The record money was almost always well spent, because I knew a guy who had a used record shop (think High Fidelity) who would set stuff aside for me because he knew I'd be there with cash every Saturday around noon. Usually an album or 2 or 3, depending on what he wanted for them. It was glorious.
	10:38pm efd: Perfect setup, Phillippe! I was in college around the same time and on the radio there, which gave me access to (though not always ownership of) lots of great stuff.
	10:41pm spacecowboy: @phillipe the perfect lifestyle
	10:45pm Phillippe Bastille: Yep. I tried to go the @EFD route and auditioned for WMUC at U of MD, but they told me that although I had the perfect face for radio, I had the perfect poise for the busboy at Tippy's Taco House (I'm paraphrasing)
	10:50pm efd: ha!
	10:52pm Scraps: In the early 80s my best friend and I had a shift at KCMU in Seattle, and I worked at a record store, which meant basically I was constantly broke on records
	10:56pm efd: oh boy, that's a tough combo!
	10:57pm Phillippe Bastille: flirts = clicky star
	10:57pm medson: I bought this album at a JC record riot a couple years ago.
	10:58pm Bootsie: Ahhhhhh! The Flirts! And I just bought the Valley Girl DVD
	10:59pm katharsis: valley girl soundtrack!
	10:59pm Phillippe Bastille: @scraps I'm simultaneously envious and, well, just envious I guess
	10:59pm Scraps: “Jukebox” has a weird chord progression
	10:59pm steveL: You're hitting a lot of great notes, tonight! Real live radio!!
	10:59pm Bootsie: I met one of the gals from the band, too. She's a member at the gym where I work.
	11:02pm Scraps: @Phillippe: I threw it away very soon. Didn’t know how good I had it. Anyway, I moved to New York.
	11:02pm Phillippe Bastille: @bootsie and is there a "and..." in there?
	11:04pm Phillippe Bastille: @scraps we all do. Juggling a mortgage, a kid in college and another who won't leave home, and the choice comes down to the $10 18 pack of Rolling Rock vs the $11 18 pack of Natural Light. Forget about buying new music...
	11:05pm medson: Great show efd. The day has finally caught up to me. Catch you next week
	11:05pm efd: goodnight medson, good to see you
	11:07pm Mike tp: blueboy damn good song
	11:09pm Scraps: ooohhhh, man.... haven’t played that Blueboy album in years, I think. Have to pull it out.
	11:17pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for a great show as always EFD. Will catch the rest on the archives. G' night all
	11:24pm efd: thanks Phillippe
	11:24pm steveL: [doing The Rock][whatever that is]
	11:25pm Fuzzy: Shred!
	11:25pm steveL: If that's a skip, it's one of the best ever!
	11:26pm Fuzzy: Should have left it a little longer!
	11:26pm efd: It wasn't a skip, believe it or not!!
	11:27pm efd: (I thought it was too at first!)
	11:27pm Fuzzy: Seriously? Ha -- fooled me good!
	11:28pm steveL: How much more ground can you cover, tonight?!
	11:29pm steveL: I'll get on that pony, sir!
	11:30pm slocker: This is incredible.
	11:34pm Bootsie: @Philippe not much of an and except she's quite nice :-)
	11:35pm Bootsie: Can't quite make it til the end... great show! I'll listen to it all tomorrow at work
	11:40pm steveL: This set=WTF!!!!
	11:43pm jmd: Italia 90 great track.
	11:50pm steveL: Armed Forces: The new Elvis Costello album. It measured up, as I recall.
	11:58pm steveL: Thanks for kicking ass tonight, efd! In other news, my auto fill supplies "asshole" but not "ass". Go figure.
	12:00am steveL: So close to perfection!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 19, 2018

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.

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!
