WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 1, 2019

Listener comments!
	♥ 4/30 8:37pm efd: It's time for another InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party! I've listed the records I bought at the WFMU Record Fair this past weekend to the left. Now YOU THE LISTENER can make a request for a record or two that you want to hear on the show! I haven't listened to any of these yet myself, and as usual I don't know what most of the records I bought actually sound like, so we'll check them out together! Post your request right here in the playlist comments, and tune in this Wednesday night (May 1) at 9pm!
	♥ 4/30 9:18pm Barkevious Shabazz: Disco Bros.
	4/30 9:47pm sam pocker: Nairobi and the Awesome Foursome - "Funky Soul Makossa (Rap)"
	4/30 9:57pm Laura in Peekskill: Waitaminnit--you expect us to believe you didn't already own a copy of APB's "Shoot You Down"? Or several? OK, fine. Play it as your second to last song on the show. YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHY.
	♥ 10:09pm efd: @Laura You got me! But I only had it on a mid’80s “hits” compilation so when I saw the actual single I had to pick it up.
	♥ 10:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: Is the b-side of that APB 7" "Talk to Me"?
	♥ 9:53am Figgsrock: The New Marketts, since you turned me on to their "Mary Hartman" theme. Starbuck. And obviously Chubby Checker. Tonight I'll be working on downloading a ton of music for a wedding I'm DJ-ing next weekend, so this will be the perfect entertainment for that task.
	♥ 10:01am Paulie B: Coincidentally, I bought a Distractions 12" at the fair with an earlier version of "It Doesn't Bother Me" on it. The slightly more polished take on the 7" might be the superior version. A great tune either way! I guess that's my request. Though I wouldn't mind hearing the Record Players record played (heh) either.
	2:04pm EL: Telex - Moskow Disko
	♥ 8:37pm Kat in Chicago: Ditto on Disco and Disko. "Lord of the Manor" is incredible - I just heard it for the first time on someone else's show, Joe McGasko's I think. And you kind of whetted my appetite for Black Oak Arkansas a couple of weeks ago...
	♥ 8:41pm Kat in Chicago: Hot Posse sounds intriguing too!
	9:01pm John from Florham Park: Hello fellow listeners
	♥ 9:03pm Kat in Chicago: Wow, that was the most un-disco song about disco I've ever heard
	♥ 9:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hiya, efd and funkigators. Putting in a vote for The Chefs.
	9:06pm john: Hey Evan! Can't miss this. Got to have Modern Romance! (and if you'll crack the cello on the Nick Gilder...)
	♥ 9:07pm Amanda: The New Marketts!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:07pm listener 126464: i think Gasolin' opened for Hot Tuna
	♥ 9:07pm efd: hey everyone! Welcome to the InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party! Check out the list of records I bought at the Record Fair over the weekend and post a request if there's something you want to hear!
	♥ 9:08pm efd: As I recall our own Uncle Michael is a big Gasolin' fan
	♥ 9:09pm listener 126464: that dude is cool
	♥ 9:09pm Kat in Chicago: Moscow Disko was an obvious inspiration for a track called Sharevari by A Number of Names a few years later, which is one of the earliest Detroit techno records. They both rule.
	9:09pm queems: this is GREAT
	9:10pm sam pocker: What is on that Music of the 1970s? I cant find it online.
	♥ 9:10pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I've never heard this funky soul makossa, this is excellent
	♥ 9:10pm efd: oh yeah, I remember the Dirtbombs covered "Sharevari!"
	♥ 9:11pm efd: @sam It's easy listening versions of mostly soft-rock top 40 hits
	9:11pm Kelly Jones: Is it wrong to listen to EFD aloud feom the app while waiting for my Chinese take out?
	9:11pm sam pocker: nevermind found it on discogs
	♥ 9:11pm Kat in Chicago: ADULT. does a great cover of Sharevari too
	♥ 9:11pm listener 126464: fmu is where i first heard soul makossa in '70 something
	♥ 9:12pm queems: i'm putting in a vote for cyclades ah ah encore
	♥ 9:12pm Kat in Chicago: @Kelly it's really the only correct way to wait for your food
	9:13pm On the Yazoo: I remember some of those records.. Nothing I'd like to request.
	♥ 9:15pm listener 126464: this one was well worth it
	9:15pm jeff k: distractions, it doesnt bother me
	♥ 9:16pm efd: @jeff k how's that for an instant request?!
	9:17pm jeff k: nice
	9:22pm Cal Zone!: This man votes for Gasolin' ***** What a Lemon!!!!
	9:26pm John from Florham Park: @Queems I second that vote
	♥ 9:28pm listener 126464: Cheers to this one!
	♥ 9:28pm Kat in Chicago: I've never heard "salads" and "ballads" rhymed in a song before. Nice.
	9:29pm Z-pulpa: Just tuning in now, I love this show idea!! Greetings friends!
	♥ 9:29pm Kat in Chicago: And on that note, I'm gonna grab a beer.
	♥ 9:30pm queems: bye kat!

	♥ 9:31pm queems: oh wow quick trip
	♥ 9:32pm Figgsrock: @sampocker That's a great tune. I'm hitting up Bandcamp tomorrow.
	♥ 9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: EFD! I wanna hear that Apache Band 12".
	♥ 9:33pm Kat in Chicago: That's a perfect song for Stamey and Holsapple to cover
	♥ 9:33pm Aaron in Minneapolis: My vote is for Lord of the Manor by the eleverlys!
	♥ 9:35pm Kat in Chicago: No wonder I liked the funky soul makossa, I'm partial to John Robie productions.
	♥ 9:35pm Aaron in Minneapolis: Never mind, I missed it!!!!
	♥ 9:35pm Figgsrock: Hey, I requested two albums earlier today!
	9:36pm Shane: Strawbs DEEP Cuts?! I only know "Part of the Union"
	♥ 9:36pm drowsy: The APB song is very on-brand sonically.
	♥ 9:37pm efd: @Figgsrock gonna get to at least one of 'em coming up!
	9:37pm Eugene R.: Hard for me to pass by a Kenny Laguna produced piece, "Lipstick" by Advertising, from his pre-Joan Jett days.
	9:40pm Cal Zone!: THX EFD!
	♥ 9:47pm Figgsrock: Chubby! Wow, this song just screams 1982. Like he's backed by Tommy TuTone.
	9:47pm sam pocker: Kat & Steve here's an article about how I wrote Drankin' song.. https://tinyurl.com/y59hj6eb TY Evan!! Super exciting to hear my song on the radio!! Especially on my favorite show!
	♥ 9:50pm KidProJoe: WOW

	9:51pm Roberto: Suicide may be painless, but what about Disco?
	♥ 9:52pm efd: also painless!
	♥ 9:52pm Figgsrock: Wow. That's quite the tale Sam!
	♥ 9:52pm efd: Farr had a string of releases so I think the name is just a coincidence
	9:52pm Roberto: Word up, EFD.
	♥ 9:53pm loveless: I just want to proclaim that I love disco music!
	♥ 9:54pm Figgsrock: I'm going to have to buy this New Marketts too, aren't I? You get me every time with them EFD.
	♥ 9:54pm efd: I was only gonna do two sets but I think I need to keep the InterActiv™ Listening Party going for one more set after this to try to get to as many requests as I can!
	♥ 9:55pm efd: (and because I'm having fun doing it)
	9:55pm Cal Zone!: Weird, I just played this record at work today. Rescued from a thrift a couple weeks ago.
	♥ 9:55pm Kat in Chicago: That's a great story, Sam P.
	9:58pm sam pocker: Thanks Kat and Steve, I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you both enjoyed it. Means a lot, thank you!!
	♥ 9:59pm queems: a+++ airhorn

	♥ 10:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, EFD!
	♥ 10:18pm Tome: when cats me about this station ,, [ as opposed to one time "what the hell is that you're listening to !] I say start with EFD and well the 70's too can't go wrong ? and many are hooked from that point on !
	♥ 10:20pm efd: nice, thanks Tome!
	10:24pm Roberto: No, it's ABCDEFD!
	10:24pm john: Thanks! Started my day with a notification that today was the 38th anniversary of the release of Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag, perfect to end it with another brassy 1981 gem!
	♥ 10:25pm efd: @john Indeed! And I did crack open that Nick Gilder LP, but regret to report that... it's not that good. :( Might still play something from it in the future though.
	♥ 10:27pm drowsy: aw yeah
	10:27pm john: Sorry about the Nick Gilder (though I never thought I'd hear you say that!) As someone we just heard might say, Nothing Ever Goes The Way You Plan...
	10:29pm Roberto: Dat bass doe.
	10:30pm Roberto: Ha as soon as I submit that, the bass drops back.
	10:30pm Jason: This APB album is one of my all time faves!
	10:32pm Jason: Oh yeah I guess it is a sort of greatest hits album.
	♥ 10:36pm Kat in Chicago: That was a fun set of record fair finds!
	10:56pm Marc15: Tina Sparkle or Sparkle Farkle?
	♥ 10:59pm Aitch: Someone likes his T-Rex.
	11:26pm katharsis: Hello all
	11:26pm steveL: Great show. It propelled me through some very dedicated tile scraping. Feel free to use this statement in station-marketing efforts.
	♥ 11:30pm Fuzzy: I hope Gene Simmons doesn't sue these guys.
	♥ 11:31pm efd: you'd think, right??
	♥ 11:31pm efd: @SteveL glad to assist with your tile scraping
	♥ 11:35pm Stevel: efd: You are so kind. You give and keep on giving. Does that make you a mensch? I'd say yes, but I'm in Indiana. Who knows?
	♥ 11:38pm Aitch: Music nut friend put me onto Resonars a couple of hours ago. He reckons it's the album of the year so far.
	♥ 11:39pm efd: it's very good!
	11:40pm JIMD2019: hey guys
	♥ 11:40pm Kat in Chicago: Weird, I was just thinking about Vanessa and Pylon about half an hour ago for no apparent reason.
	11:44pm JIMD2019: cosmic vibes

	♥ 11:53pm efd: yep yep yep!!
	11:54pm steveL: It’s. Too. Groovy. Must. Groove.
	♥ 11:55pm efd: the funny thing is as I was going through this set I my first thought was not to play all these female/female fronted artists in a row because it kind of seemed like a lazy series of segues, but then I was like wait a minute, how many times have I played a set with all male frontpeople/bands and so I got over that initial thought.
	♥ 11:55pm Kat in Chicago: Exactly!
	♥ 11:55pm efd: just a little peek behind the scenes of the Evan "Funk" Davies Show :D
	♥ 11:56pm Stevel: YOU, are THERE!
	♥ 11:59pm Aitch: Andy Human record is good.
	♥ 12:00am Kat in Chicago: Thanks Evan!
	6:58pm Sybil: I love Alex C more than anything, which means whe he makes a mistake I HATE IT MORE THAN ANYTHING

	10:24pm Roberto: No, it's ABCDEFD!
	10:24pm john: Thanks! Started my day with a notification that today was the 38th anniversary of the release of Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag, perfect to end it with another brassy 1981 gem!

	11:26pm steveL: Great show. It propelled me through some very dedicated tile scraping. Feel free to use this statement in station-marketing efforts.
	♥ 11:30pm Fuzzy: I hope Gene Simmons doesn't sue these guys.

	♥ 11:31pm efd: @SteveL glad to assist with your tile scraping
	♥ 11:35pm Stevel: efd: You are so kind. You give and keep on giving. Does that make you a mensch? I'd say yes, but I'm in Indiana. Who knows?

	♥ 11:53pm efd: yep yep yep!!
	11:54pm steveL: It’s. Too. Groovy. Must. Groove.
	♥ 11:55pm efd: the funny thing is as I was going through this set I my first thought was not to play all these female/female fronted artists in a row because it kind of seemed like a lazy series of segues, but then I was like wait a minute, how many times have I played a set with all male frontpeople/bands and so I got over that initial thought.
	♥ 11:55pm Kat in Chicago: Exactly!
	♥ 11:55pm efd: just a little peek behind the scenes of the Evan "Funk" Davies Show :D
