WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from August 29, 2012

Listener comments!
	9:09pm McG: Playing the show really loud to the neighbors can hear.
	♥ 9:09pm efd: Alright, McG! That's the way to do it!
	9:12pm SteveL: Neighbors? You don't need no stinkin' neighbors!
	9:13pm EL: This is a rowdy opener. I like it! I like it!
	♥ 9:16pm efd: whoops, slowing it down a little bit now, EL! Thanks for listening! Hi SteveL, thanks to you as well!
	9:17pm McG: I can dig the slow jam.
	9:20pm McG: That Gap Dream song was excellent.
	♥ 9:21pm efd: They are amazing! That album would be a lock for #1 in any year without a new dB's album.
	9:27pm Holly in NC: Hi Evan & funky friends! Not yet listening, sadly. 10:30ish! Gap Dream lp is great. Note to all: Making one's Google Calendar public to clients before blocking out private time is a rather bad idea.
	9:29pm Some Funked up Guy: Sweet set, thanks!
	9:31pm McG: Delaware boys, The Spinto Band are opening for The DB's at Maxwells 9/1. I'm a big fan of them myself. They are very tight, fun to watch.
	9:35pm McG: I like when you talk about baseball. It's something I know little about, so I feel like I am learning something.
	9:36pm john: Actually, some of us do tune in for your opinions on baseball. And for what it's worth, I think it had to be done. From the Sawx perspective, I approve of getting rid of some of those guys (and Shoppach, who was one of the instigators of the clubhouse toxicity), but James Loney is no, umm, James Loney.
	9:36pm Kat in Chicago: Was the guy in DM3 devastated by DEV UH STAY TUH?
	♥ 9:44pm efd: haha Kat, maybe I should do a "devastater/d" theme set sometime. john, I appreciate that! I agree all around with your comments. I'd be surprised if Loney is back with the Sox next year. McG, I'll make a point of catching the Spinto Band on Saturday!
	9:47pm EL: Went for a jog with the wife and missed the Marked Men! Thank goodness for the archive.
	9:49pm SteveL: Where were The Features from? Great song.
	9:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: Song title of the decade-Floozie of the Neighborhood.
	♥ 9:49pm efd: That'll teach you to exercise!
	9:49pm EL: Never again!
	9:57pm john: OK, so there's got to be a Dawnie Iris connection there somewhere...
	9:57pm Barkevious Shabazz: You can take the kid outta Allegheny county..
	♥ 9:59pm efd: Those are dots you'll have to connect, john. Hey Barkevious!
	10:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: How do!
	10:23pm Cynthia: I have been completely obsessed with steve harley and cockney rebel all summer!!!!
	10:25pm Richard from Venezuela: Hi Evan and all the listeners.
	10:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: Tatty?
	♥ 10:31pm efd: kind of talked myself into a corner there.
	♥ 10:33pm efd: Hey Cynthia! I've always loved "Come Up And See Me," of course, but haven't explored much beyond that. I like the LP I played tonight though! Hi Richard, good to see you! Barkevious, the copy said "tatty." I verbally autocorrected it.
	10:35pm michele: I've heard this dBs song (that time is gone) a bunch lately - seems like an old friend already. Oh, wow - old school dBs.
	10:35pm Barkevious Shabazz: My autoincorrect is always in full effect.
	10:36pm michele: how about triple play "Big Brown Eyes" or "Amplifier"?
	10:36pm McG: Awesome show tonight EFD. Really enjoyed it.
	10:37pm will: I have this single (Soul Kiss)!
	10:40pm michele: Great show so far Evan!
	10:40pm Holly in NC: Waaayyy late on comment board: Love love that Paul Messis 7"! And everyone please send good thoughts toward Dan & Letha (Rodman) Melchior, if you have good thoughts to spare. Now db's bliss xo
	♥ 10:43pm efd: oh yes, Holly, all best wishes to Dan and Letha. Glad you're here - better late than never! michele, thanks! I'm going to try to squeeze one of those songs in. Hey will, yeah, the single version has the nice little coda; that's about 6 tracks away on the 'wild tom tom' CD. McG, thanks!
	10:50pm michele: thanks Evan! you made my night!
	10:54pm Rickwaukee: righteous set o'db's!
	♥ 10:55pm efd: Once I start I can't stop! (although I am going to stop after this song)
	11:02pm Ignore Function: Good thoughts to Letha and Dan for sure.
	11:05pm Ignore Function: Good show also.
	11:05pm Holly in NC: Aside from everything involving Mittens, his scarily idiotic VP candidate, and the usual GOP excuses for warmongering, Condee's speechwriter actually kicked some ass. I wonder if anyone will notice? And will he/she be fired?
	11:06pm michele: how 'bout some Posies PowerPop? Solar Sister
	11:08pm Jose Bautista: Yo, just chillin out listening to your show man. Fantasy 2013, let me in to your line up bro.
	11:09pm seang: The Vaselines in Brooklyn tomorrow night!
	11:11pm Rickwaukee: @seang: lucky
	♥ 11:11pm efd: wow, Jose Bautista! Sorry you're out for the year, but nice job your teammates did against the Yankees this week. seang, wow, I can't keep up! Are you going? (And thanks for listening/commenting) michele, don't press your luck! :) I'm going in a slightly different direction, I think, at least for now. oh, and hi/thanks Ignore Function and Rickwaukee!
	11:14pm seang: I sure am. I'm coming down from Boston.
	11:14pm michele: okay i'm just gonna sit back and enjoy your surprises - thanks Evan
	11:16pm Barkevious Shabazz: Why'd they have to let a dude cover this Dynasty standout?
	11:18pm Rickwaukee: having a 70's blashfack
	11:18pm Holly in NC: Oh yay, an excellentKiss cover...wait,, AND then dirty deeds ?!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:19pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bon Scott. Replaced by a janitor.
	11:25pm Holly in NC: Pre- ACDC Bon was a shit -shoveller, literally! & he & Brian were friends, I think.
	11:28pm Ignore Function: Apache Dropout are great. Nice guys, too.
	11:31pm Holly in NC: @Ignore Function - Sounds like you know the band, if so, pls tell then I'm a huge fan!
	11:32pm Barkevious Shabazz: You'd have to hope that Bon Scott whisteled Rip Rigs Knee Deeo in Shit whilst plying his trade.
	11:35pm Holly in NC: @Barkevious - :-) And efd, thank you for this RRP
	11:37pm ?: thought that was rip, rig and panic. You can't even find them anymore. They ruled!!!!
	11:39pm Ignore Function: Don't know them but I talked to em' for at probably 45 minutes after their show.
	11:46pm Holly in NC: I wish someone would tell Foreign Mothers that people temporarily sans turntable would happily pay $ for a digital dl...
	11:49pm Rickwaukee: I guess not the same METZ playing tomorrow at Pianos and Fri. at Death by Audio
	♥ 11:50pm efd: No, it is not! That is an unrelated Sub Pop (I think) recording artist.
	11:55pm Andrew Waterloo: the Sub Pop Metz is really too. More the loud and noisy variety.
