	9:32pm E.L.: The Kaisers make me scream like I'm seeing the Beatles.
	9:33pm calzone!: Theeeee Kaisers! Nice segue to Mambo!
	9:34pm Michael from the Left Coast: a rare and fleeting appearance here to wish everyone a merry and a happy and to also note that EFD played the APPLE Records release of the Phil Spector Xmas ALbum (very impressive). I'm off to see the Clippers and the Rockets in minutes. My best to all
	9:36pm Aharon: Hey, Danne! With luck, we will get to all four dimensions in 2011!
	9:37pm Amanda: Merry xmas, Michael! Your appearances are too rare
	9:38pm Joe B: I just found out Darlene Love is one of the backup singers on Poor Side of Town. Now I love that song even more!
	9:39pm AZ: You forgot about Spoiler Alert!
	9:40pm efd: AZ, damn, you're right!
	9:41pm rory: If you've got any room, perhaps Pinto Bennett's "Honky Tonk Christmas" or the Silvertones "Bling Bling Christmas". Two of my favorite non-standard Christmas standards.
	9:42pm efd: Hi Michael, great to have you here in real-time! And Hi Amanda!!
	9:44pm AZ: Just arrived. I see I missed the Paul Revere track, but I'm so glad you played it!

	9:49pm Amanda: Hi Evan! Hi Kristina! Hi Rory! Slade is not the past participle of "slay" but it should be
	9:50pm Amanda: Or "sleigh"
	9:50pm calzone!: Time for some Gary Glitter-Xmas!?
	9:51pm AZ: Ahhh....the ever-popular Slade/Wizzard double-header!
	9:52pm Joe B: wow, great tune!
	9:53pm E.L.: Joe McG! Great stuff.
	9:53pm rory: the invertor of Christian rock 'n roll...larry norman!

	10:05pm efd: DON'T FORGET THE DONUTS!!1!
	10:06pm Sybil: Good evening all! Just dropping in to the comments section to wish everyone a happy happy happy funktastic holiday. OMG, just in time for Hanson. EFD, will you be playing the song by the local guy whose name starts with D again?
	10:06pm Skinny Jay: Hanson? Dude, seriously. How about The Darkness' Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) for some far north Canadian dudes? If you already played it, too bad and play it again.
	10:08pm efd: Sybil, absolutely! It's a tradition. Thanks for checking in! S. Jay, I like that Darkness song - let me see if I can find it.
	10:11pm calzone!: EFD has gone Power Pop for Xmas!
	10:13pm Madi H: I'm still with Kitty.
	10:15pm Joe B: a Jersey classic!
	10:16pm efd: Jersey classics back to back!
	10:17pm John Sterling: And-a belly to belly!
	10:18pm andyg: any adam warrock holiday tunes?
	10:29pm efd: I don't think so, Andy! Unless I missed it.
	10:31pm E.L.: Yea! C.L.
	10:34pm Joe B: we want the funk!
	10:37pm efd: Joe, I think it's almost time for that other thing you want. (And John, you too.)
	10:38pm Sybil: Baseball? It's time for baseball?
	10:39pm efd: The OTHER other thing...
	10:41pm Joe B: This sounds like Hot Butter of Popcorn fame!
	10:42pm dave: oh. mah. GAWD. "i feel santa" just made my xmas.
	10:43pm AZ: "I Feel Santa." OMG. So good.
	10:46pm john: Oh, it MUST be that time...
	10:46pm Amanda: Oh, THAT other thing!!!
	10:47pm john: To be fair, Dawnie plays at bars around the stadium after roughly 81 games annually...
	10:47pm Ed: Similar to your Wegman's experience- I was in the AT&T store today and heard Magnetic Fields' "I Don't Really Love You Anymore"
	10:48pm Joe B: can't be as disappointing as the Billy Idol Christmas album, although that one is great in its own way.
	10:49pm Joe B: I was hoping for a song "Christmas Is Like a Rock"
	10:49pm Angels: It's beeyooooteeefullll!!!!!!!!!
	10:49pm efd: Joe, right, exactly!
	10:50pm Skinny Jay: 81 games annually he plays around the stadium and also 81 over-dubs on this track? Coincidence? It's a Yuletide Miracle!!
	10:50pm Joe B: or Do Your Holidays Compute?
	10:51pm Angels: all hail autotune!
	10:56pm john: I've got to say the non-ex-resident of the burgh finds this a lot radder than his wife. Dawnie rawks!
	10:59pm rory: gonna hit the sack - I'll catch the resot of the show in the archives tomorrow. Thanks for an incredible show, EFD, and Merry Christmas everyone!
	11:01pm calzone!: I'm stepping into Xmas slumberland as well! Gnite all! Thanks EFD!
	11:02pm efd: goodnight folks! Thanks for listening, and may visions of sugarplums dance in your heads!
	11:06pm Joe B: That Elton track came out in 73? wow, I don't recall hearing it until the 80s. and I've heard it more in the last 5 or so years than back then even!
	11:08pm efd: I know, hard to believe right?!
	11:13pm Joe B: wally ballou! bob and ray!
	11:21pm dave: for reasons i cannot begin to fathom, this is the first time i've heard "mamacita, donde esta santa claus" this year. that might explain why that it hasn't quite seemed like christmas. thank you evan, finally, i can break out the fruitcake and nog.
	11:24pm Ed: ¿Dónde Está Santa Claus?- 1958
	11:24pm AZ: Margo Guryan wrote the song...
	11:25pm efd: ah, thanks AZ! And thanks, Eddie.
	11:26pm dave: as far as the internet is concerned, augie rios does not seem to exist except as a winsome youth out of his window a-peeping. oh, and as "Boy In Kid Gang" in a 1962 episode of Naked City.
	11:26pm Harry: Thanks ,Evan, super Christmas show. I downloaded Wont get Yuled Again to send to my friend in Vermont who is a big Who fan, 55 years old and recently fired from McDonalds!! I trust this whimsy will cease further self-destruction on his part. Thanks again, Evan and Merry Merry!!
	11:30pm efd: Ha, thanks Harry - glad you enjoyed it! Dave, I'm surprised there's no further Augie Rios info! Thanks for checking.
	11:31pm Sybil: This blog post has some people chiming in with information, possibly even correct information, about Augie Rios, and seemingly a comment from Augie himself (although who knows): http://greatbutforgotten.blogspot.com/2008/11/augie-rios-music.html
	11:34pm Amanda: Awriiiiiiiightttttt Helen.
	11:36pm William Swan, Jr.: That was Atari Teenage Riot in the opening of that Helen Love song.
	11:44pm randy in NC: Oh Big Star's Jesus Christ was amazing at that live show a couple of weeks ago. Sung by Mike Mills.
	11:45pm Sybil: Following up a lead from that blog post, I found a bunch of doo-wop type youtube videos featuring Augie Rios and group. No dates so far. It does seem to be our boy, by the voice.
	11:46pm Sybil: Ah, Mr. Dimucci!
	11:48pm Sybil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exnPfL456aU
	11:48pm john: Now THIS is how to rock up a Christmas song...the greatest voice EVER in rock strikes again!
	11:50pm efd: Thanks Sybil, I'll check that out post-show. It's true John, Mr. Ierace could learn a thing or two from Dion.
	11:51pm randy in NC: Thanks!
	11:52pm efd: Randy, it must have been great to see this live!
	11:53pm randy in NC: Yes, with some of our favorite guitar players too!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 22, 2010

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. 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!

	10:47pm Ed: Similar to your Wegman's experience- I was in the AT&T store today and heard Magnetic Fields' "I Don't Really Love You Anymore"
	10:48pm Joe B: can't be as disappointing as the Billy Idol Christmas album, although that one is great in its own way.
	10:49pm Joe B: I was hoping for a song "Christmas Is Like a Rock"
	10:49pm Angels: It's beeyooooteeefullll!!!!!!!!!
	10:49pm efd: Joe, right, exactly!
	10:50pm Skinny Jay: 81 games annually he plays around the stadium and also 81 over-dubs on this track? Coincidence? It's a Yuletide Miracle!!
	10:50pm Joe B: or Do Your Holidays Compute?
	10:51pm Angels: all hail autotune!
	10:56pm john: I've got to say the non-ex-resident of the burgh finds this a lot radder than his wife. Dawnie rawks!

	11:13pm Joe B: wally ballou! bob and ray!
	11:21pm dave: for reasons i cannot begin to fathom, this is the first time i've heard "mamacita, donde esta santa claus" this year. that might explain why that it hasn't quite seemed like christmas. thank you evan, finally, i can break out the fruitcake and nog.
	11:24pm Ed: ¿Dónde Está Santa Claus?- 1958
	11:24pm AZ: Margo Guryan wrote the song...
	11:25pm efd: ah, thanks AZ! And thanks, Eddie.
	11:26pm dave: as far as the internet is concerned, augie rios does not seem to exist except as a winsome youth out of his window a-peeping. oh, and as "Boy In Kid Gang" in a 1962 episode of Naked City.
	11:26pm Harry: Thanks ,Evan, super Christmas show. I downloaded Wont get Yuled Again to send to my friend in Vermont who is a big Who fan, 55 years old and recently fired from McDonalds!! I trust this whimsy will cease further self-destruction on his part. Thanks again, Evan and Merry Merry!!
	11:30pm efd: Ha, thanks Harry - glad you enjoyed it! Dave, I'm surprised there's no further Augie Rios info! Thanks for checking.
	11:31pm Sybil: This blog post has some people chiming in with information, possibly even correct information, about Augie Rios, and seemingly a comment from Augie himself (although who knows): http://greatbutforgotten.blogspot.com/2008/11/augie-rios-music.html
	11:34pm Amanda: Awriiiiiiiightttttt Helen.
	11:36pm William Swan, Jr.: That was Atari Teenage Riot in the opening of that Helen Love song.
	11:44pm randy in NC: Oh Big Star's Jesus Christ was amazing at that live show a couple of weeks ago. Sung by Mike Mills.
	11:45pm Sybil: Following up a lead from that blog post, I found a bunch of doo-wop type youtube videos featuring Augie Rios and group. No dates so far. It does seem to be our boy, by the voice.
	11:46pm Sybil: Ah, Mr. Dimucci!
	11:48pm Sybil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exnPfL456aU
	11:48pm john: Now THIS is how to rock up a Christmas song...the greatest voice EVER in rock strikes again!
