The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 15, 2009

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 15, 2009: last so-called 'normal' show of 2009! (Xmas music next week, Best Of 2009 the week after that)

Listener comments!
	11:11pm dave: if aliens were ever to come to land on my front lawn, come up to my apartment, and say "oh one called dave, what is this thing you earthlings call 'rock'?" i think i could probably achieve a significant step forward in intergalactic cultural exchange by playing witch's "seer" for them.
	11:13pm One of the Tuesday night dogs: OK, this hydrant has been christened for the evening.
	11:16pm Cory: Is this song by the slew a remix?

	11:25pm nec13: The Red Sox sign John Lackey. Meanwhile, the Mets have cornered the market on backup catchers. Not to worry, though, I think Glendon Rusch is still available.

	11:51pm efd: dave, as a frequent pedant myself I will rarely criticize anyone else for being the same - thanks for the info. Dan, on further examination it looks like that Mantles 7" is a Slumberland release, so should be fairly easy to track down.

	12:42am Michael from the Left Coast: Nice lyric change to suit the different gender
	12:42am efd: you know, I was supposed to go see Jacques Detergent on Sunday, but I couldn't make it. No, really, I couldn't make it. What makes you think I was scared?
	12:43am john: I mean, seriously, it's even better than if Cher had covered Hooked On A Feeling

	1:21am Michael from the Left Coast: Nice! How about some Big Jim Sullivan sitar music
	1:31am efd: Michael, I think that one song will be the only sitar rock we hear this evening.
	1:31am Wikipedia: And we've also tagged his bio for excessive giggling and occasional failure to cue in advance. Spankies!
	1:34am efd: great.
	1:35am Wikipedia: Don't get too excited now.

	1:39am Michael from the Left Coast: The late great Patty Donahue! Is that Mars Williams playing sax?
	1:41am efd: don't see that name on the CD, so can't say for sure.
	1:48am Michael from the Left Coast: I would wager it was him
	1:54am Michael from the Left Coast: Now that I think of it it was probably Ralph Carney, not Mars Williams. I'm digging this tune--who are these guys?
	1:57am efd: Yep, Ralph Carney is on there. Valley Lodge are great! I'm currently in negotiations to have them come down and do a set sometime, hopefully in the next couple of months. One of them is based in LA I think - John Kimbrough? Comedian Dave Hill is also in the band.
	11:19am Henry: Hey EFD! Did you ever get the chance to listen to the Adults' single I sent you? Hope you liked it. On another note: you should open your show with The Tubes "Slipped My Disco" sometime. From the 70s as you so often do on the EFD show!

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!
