The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 9, 2008

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. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)

December 9, 2008: if I were mad at you, I would have played Peter Criss.

Listener comments!
	11:07pm annabelle clark: welcome back evan---it's great to have you back,,happy holidays,,,,=)=)
	11:09pm Sybil: Missed you last week. Although Todd did a great job. I needed this song!
	11:11pm efd: thanks Sybil, thanks Annabelle! I'm glad to be back (and grateful to Todd for the last-minute fill-in last week).
	11:14pm annabelle clark: like sybil said you were missed..i guess you didn't feel well last week,,,btw efd what was the worst gift that you ever got,,hmm???
	11:19pm annabelle c.: evan have you got any special holiday plans?
	11:20pm efd: Annabelle, in the words of Rosanne Rosannadanna: you ask a lot of questions!
	11:25pm Sybil: I am in love with tonight's show. That is all.
	11:25pm annabelle clark: evan forgive me for being soo nosey,,,i'm sorry efd,, ohhhhhhh yaaaaaahhhhhh tee set
	11:32pm Sybil: Bullet wound???
	11:39pm efd: You'll have to listen to the very beginning of Todd's fill-in from last week. p.s. I'm fine.
	11:41pm C: he really scared me for a second there. glad all's well!
	11:44pm hazeljane: the music is GREAT
	11:45pm annabelle c.: evan i'm really glad that your ok this week,,,& i'm still sorry for being nosey,,,
	11:47pm efd: thanks Hazeljane, thanks Annabelle. C, I can see how that would have caused some alarm... especially for people who either aren't in NY or don't follow football (or both)
	11:50pm Sybil: The bullet-football connection is known even to this complete football non-follower. (I try very hard not to know anything about football, but it's more difficult than you might think.)
	11:50pm C: Haha. No, it was actually the part where he said something like "don't blame Tom for joking about Evan's absence, he didn't know what happened." the guy really sold it.
	11:52pm Sybil: OK, now I've got to go listen to it. Well, not now, but later. Will it only make sense if I also listen to the last few minutes of Tom's show? (I must have missed this - dang!)
	11:57pm Pete: Even: Listener Pete here. Hope all is well with you. If possible, requesting that you play the song "Brown Eyes" by Gary Charlson off the Numero Titan records comp. Thanks!!
	11:59pm annabelle/catlin: well evan i'm outa here,,thank you for putting up with me,,,rest easy,,see u next week--g'nite =)=)=) peace & love
	12:04am efd: goodnight Annabelle! Hello Pete! I am going to have to go in to the comments system and correct your misspelling of my name... but I do have that Titan comp here in the studio, so the odds of your request getting played are good. :)
	12:07am efd: Sybil, yes, ideally the whole thing works best if you hear the tail end of Tom's show first... C, yes, I see your point - Todd did a good job of sounding pretty grave (for a change!).
	12:13am wendy: what is the no. again? love the show
	12:22am annabelle c.: i'm sorry evan,but i was just wonderin would you consider me as one of your fave comenters?? i want to know,,,thank you
	12:22am randy in NC: efd, while you're at it with Brown Eyes, could I add Big Brown Eyes to the list? Or Amplifier?
	12:24am C: i don't know if this means anything to you, but you're one of my favorite commenters, annabelle.
	12:27am efd: and I agree with C.
	12:30am Laurie: What did we do wrong? Did we do something to anger you, Evan, and that's why you're playing Ace Frehley?
	12:30am Laurie: Was it because that one person spelled your name wrong or something?
	12:33am efd: Laurie, if I were mad at you(se), I would have played Peter Criss.
	12:44am MARK: Do you like Nitecaps' GO TO THE LINE? Wounded Bird Records just reissued it. They also did Polyrock and Bonnie Hayes. Bonnie Hayes is cool, too.
	12:45am randy in NC: efd, when you get a chance sometime, check out Tramp by the band Royal Purple. Joe B. played it today, man what a thing with a hook.
	12:48am efd: Randy, I actually played that a few weeks ago! (Along with the original version by BTO!) HI MARK! That's cool about the Nitecaps reissue, I'll have to keep an eye out.
	12:50am randy in NC: Oh yes I remember that now. It's late...
	12:51am efd: no worries, Randy... I don't expect everyone to mentally catalog all my shows. :)
	12:54am john: Damn, that Eagles of Death Metal song was good...even if it was a piss-take...I may need to reappraise.
	12:54am Sybil: Hearing this makes me feel unreasonably nostalgic.
	12:56am C: did they really name this album "theme from growing pains"? is that the most sought after theme that's going to sell the album?
	12:57am efd: well it certainly isn't the theme from "My Sister Sam." although there is something Murphy Brown-related on there, you'd think that would be the hook.
	12:59am john: Evan, play some Sexual Objects if WFMU has it...Merrie England is a great single...
	1:00am Joe: Hi, Evan, just stopping in because that last track destroyed what's left of my sanity. Greatest American Hero indeed. Good show, carry on.
	1:02am ?: awesome
	1:06am john: RIP Wursthaus
	1:06am C: that great restaurant is gone, unfortunately
	1:12am efd: i figured as much... if Out Of Town news can't make it I don't have much hope for anything else in Harvard Square.
	1:15am C: that newstand in the middle of the square? how is that possible?
	1:16am john: that's closing...they sold in '94 to Hudson...and now Hudson's leaving...
	1:18am efd: John is correct, unfortunately. I think Nini's Corner is still there, at least?
	1:18am john: yessir it is
	1:19am C: yikes. next you're going to tell me that the weirdos have been moved out of the pit by the t stop
	1:20am john: they will never leave...like cockroaches, they'll be there after the bomb hits
	1:23am randy in NC: More hook
	1:30am Laurie: PRIDE OF MIAMI.
	1:55am M Otis Beard: Oh, this is fantastic. I'm lying in bed in a big rig at a truck stop in Salina, Kansas... and I'm listening to WFMU.
	3:59pm Chris: Thanks for playing Dogmatics - Gimme the Shakes! I love that song. I've always liked the 7" version better than the lp version.

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!
