	10:17pm Jim Allen: You're tearing it up tonight EFD, I love these little return trips to my youth, and was proud to make my pledge during this show (hint to others to do the same!)
	10:21pm Marmalade Kitty: It was actually a youth club disco :D
	10:21pm efd: Thanks Jim! And thanks everyone for tuning in and commenting - great to see everyone enjoying the show! As Jim points out we're in the middle of our off-air Studio Of Tomorrow fundraising campaign, and now would be a great time to show your support and help us build out a public space on the ground floor to host band sessions, live performances and other special events (maybe a Mayhem in the PM Dance Party???). Please use the white box on the left to make a pledge now, or just click here: www.wfmu.org... Thanks everyone!
	10:25pm john: OK, the show's really kicking it when the Secret Affair comes out. It's time for action!™
	10:25pm Barkevious Shabazz: Let's hear it for bp hurding.
	10:27pm Weems: Biggest music regret of the NYU era, not seeing Secret Affair at Privates!!
	10:27pm Jim Allen: "Shake & Shout" is one of my four-year-old daughter's favorite songs, admittedly due in part to my influence, just as it became one of mine via the influence of you and your cohorts 30-plus years ago :)
	10:28pm Marmalade Kitty: I'm up for this one! ;)
	10:28pm Holly in NC: @Marmalade Kitty - I went to a youth disco, once. Contracted chicken pox & the association remained too grim to ever return. Also, my minister wouldn't come vist me because he didn't want to get pox himself, which turned me off organized religion forever.
	10:30pm Holly in NC: Hi Danne! Richard Hell lured me back! ;-)
	10:30pm john: One of the greatest songs in the history of whatever you said it was one of the greatest songs in the history of? Yes. Yes it is!
	10:30pm calzone!: You've got my number, why don't you use it?!
	10:31pm pacific standard simon: Richard Hell made me stir restlessly in my sleep -- The Saints woke me up.
	10:33pm Joel: Is Vic there ? I officially request this month be renamed to: FUNKtober...
	10:34pm Holly in NC: The Fast! !! !!!
	10:35pm Marmalade Kitty: @Holly: Ahh, Great grim memories! :)
	10:36pm Loretta: Yeah.... we need a dance party at the Studio of Tomorrow!
	10:37pm Marmalade Kitty: what is the capacity for the space?
	10:38pm Roger S: Mr. Funk Davies, you are an example of dj excellence. Would you possibly be able to point me in the direction of a good birthday themes show in the archives? I'm trying to make a special playlist for a friend.
	10:42pm calzone!: Listeners would love a special NYU show with EFD! Bring back Tim Sommers, Pablo, Weems, etc to chat about the halcyon days of yore... Before you all get too old to remember them!
	10:42pm Midge Ure: Please play some of my material from my moustache years.
	10:42pm Holly in NC: Heretically, I prefer John Foxx's recent work to his classic period. That NEVER happens!
	10:43pm Jim Allen: What calzone! said
	10:45pm Stevel: LOVE this Fleshtones album!!!! (Yes, I know, this is a single.) Lucky to see them twice in Madison in 83-84
	10:47pm Cubicle Carl: I believe I saw the Fleshtones in the basement of Loeb Student Center at NYU in 1979 with Nervus Rex.
	10:47pm efd: @MKitty, the total capacity will be 200, with 100 seats. Part of the money we're trying to raise will go toward two ADA-compliant rest rooms, which will bring us up to code for a 200-person space.
	10:48pm calzone!: Vic is here!
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: I love this song.
	10:49pm Joel: YES !!!!!!
	10:49pm Holly in NC: Yes. this is great. Goes really well with New Math, efd ...
	10:51pm Marmalade Kitty: tickets might be tight then? But I'd be happy to get 200 folks in an alternative-type music space anyday! Good crowd!
	10:52pm Weems: Good idea Calzone! Next Funktober?
	10:52pm Nardo: Is vic there, and for that matter, where's captain kirk?
	10:52pm Marmalade Kitty: cosy
	10:53pm Danne D: John Cale was the original Tea Party Politician ;)
	10:53pm pacific standard simon: My rifle is my friend, but yo mama is my girlfriend.
	10:53pm Stevel: Where, indeed, is Captain Kirk?
	10:53pm efd: Well that space isn't going to build itself! <--------- hint hint www.wfmu.org... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ hint hint!
	10:53pm calzone!: Ding Dong! Where's Pablo?
	10:54pm efd: get ready for one of the great all-time screams!
	10:56pm efd: Weems you are now dismissed.
	10:56pm gw: KONK perhaps.
	10:56pm Barkevious Shabazz: Celebrate peter murphy's bloated probation by playing bauhaus 'cover of that cale single's bside.
	10:58pm Holly in NC: Oooh!!!!!!!! Barkevious, that's a BRILLIANT suggestion.
	10:58pm steve: oh my god move on up cover
	10:59pm Sean B.: This is one hell of a set Evan!. Enjoying this immensely...
	10:59pm Danne D: :)
	11:00pm Marmalade Kitty: what was maxwells capacity? Similar?
	11:01pm Barkevious Shabazz: Meth is a hell of a drug. Cheetos too, apparently.
	11:01pm steve: mind blown
	11:04pm Marmalade Kitty: always space for a bar!
	11:05pm gw: wait . hoboken still exists ? huh.
	11:05pm Weems: Roger that Funk. Loved it.
	11:06pm Danne D: Social Bulletin Board Bulletin instead? :)
	11:07pm Marmalade Kitty: During the day and early evening a WFMU food menu? Will there be room for a kitchen? All sounds good!
	11:08pm efd: @MKitty, I think Maxwell's was around 200, but I just want to make clear this is solely going to be for WFMU broadcast events, not a 7-night a week club/bar.
	11:08pm Barkevious Shabazz: I luv Hard Times. But it sounds dated compared to Travelogue. Which kicks ass.
	11:10pm Marmalade Kitty: Aha, ok! I'm carried away with ideas! exciting none the less!
	11:11pm efd: Yeah, we're not getting into the hospitality business! Just expanding the kinds of programs/events we can host here now that we no longer have a ground floor tenant.
	11:11pm Holly in NC: Oh, this is my MUST dance song...
	11:12pm gw: cure?
	11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, goody. The government restarts tomorrow. Now that that is out of the way for a while, why not pledge to WFMU?
	11:12pm Danne D: Well I'm gonna get out of where I am :) Will be moving to car where I'll keep the EFD vibe going on the actual radio :) Thanks for a great show EFD :) Good night all :)
	11:13pm Marmalade Kitty: G'night Danne D!
	11:13pm arad evans: Oh, now you're getting back to it. The Gang.
	11:16pm Laura: Tenpole Tudor? dB's? Spizzenergi? Individuals?
	11:17pm efd: @Laura, some of the above!
	11:17pm efd: you were obviously a listener. :)
	11:18pm Holly in NC: Pylon? South represent!
	11:19pm Barkevious Shabazz: Is it going to far to request the entire Wanna Buy a Bridge comp? Prolly.
	11:19pm Marmalade Kitty: Bunnymen!
	11:19pm ADL: almost AKA "Transmission."
	11:20pm efd: ha ha! Yes, I think so Barkevious! Holly, I do have some Pylon with me! Starting to run out of time!
	11:20pm Holly in NC: New Order is like a little black dress...
	11:22pm Laura: @efd: Oh, yeah! Used to hang out at the studio, even though I wasn't an NYU student. Just walked right in. Those were the days! Loscalzo would put me to work answering the request line.
	11:22pm Marmalade Kitty: hard to get into? :D
	11:22pm gw: lawn chairs are everywhere
	11:23pm Holly in NC: @MK - zing! You win :-)
	11:25pm Aharon: Great show, Evan. Makes me wish I'd paid more attention to what the cool kids were listening to in high school.
	11:26pm Barkevious Shabazz: Spizzl hafta do.
	11:28pm efd: I have "Lawn Chairs" with me too. We'll see if I can squeeze it in!
	11:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: I listened to this crap in high school and look where it got me..Commenting in nerdville.
	11:28pm Holly in NC: Another must dance song! (by now it should be clear that I hop, and bounce, in favor of more interpretive forms)
	11:29pm gw: you sure comment alot .
	11:30pm Holly in NC: True.
	11:33pm Joaquin Benoit: These new wave tunes got me PUMPED.
	11:34pm Jim Allen: What, no Afraid Of Mice? :)
	11:35pm efd: it's sitting next to the turntables, Jim! Working on it! :)
	11:35pm gw: good girls don't.
	11:35pm efd: Joaquin, this song describes what you're going to be sitting on after Sunday!
	11:36pm Glenn L: LAWNCHAIRS!!!
	11:36pm Jim Allen: Ha! I just naturally associate that AFM single with the Music For Pleasure song, probably on account of you!
	11:37pm efd: both fire-related too.
	11:39pm eyenoise: EFD: Can you make this show a template for a WFMU alternate web stream?
	11:41pm Gary: Request: "Spend" by Shoes for Industry (Fried Egg Records)
	11:42pm osvi: Lookit all those songs. Great jams.
	11:43pm Holly in NC: Thank you efd!
	11:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: There's gotta be a scratchy old 7" of The Original Mirrors "Dancing with the Rebels" down there somewhere.
	11:46pm efd: I have an Original Mirrors LP that I didn't bring with me. @Gary, no dice on Shoes For Industry I'm afraid.
	11:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: Thanks EFD! Really great show.
	11:50pm sweet cheri: this was a killler show tonight,evan
	11:51pm gw: Hey Evan , thanks for being around to play it all again . It's great to hear your voice behind these songs 30 odd years later . You still sound great.
	11:51pm efd: Thanks everybody, and thanks to those of you who've pledged! I'd love to see that progress bar tick past 40% before my show's over! :)
	11:51pm efd: My pleasure, gw, thank you!
	11:52pm arad evans: Completely awesome show. Thanks Mr. Funk.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from October 16, 2013

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!

October 16, 2013: the return of MAYHEM IN THE PM! 3 hours of power-pop, post-punk, new wave and punk from 1977-1982! (Studio of Tomorrow Campaign, week 3)

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

October is here, and as we've done the past couple of Octobers we here at WFMU are conducting a SILENT (shh!) fundraiser. I won't be talking about it during my show (well maybe one time, but only for a minute!), which means I'm depending on the written word to convince you to PLEASE PLEDGE!

You can find complete info about the Studio Of Tomorrow Campaign elsewhere on our website, but in brief we're asking for your help to build out a new 100-seat radio theater on the ground floor of WFMU's building in Jersey City. We need to get the space up to code and purchase basic equipment for the space so YOU THE LISTENER can join us for live sets by bands -- like the ones you'll hear tonight -- plus special live broadcasts, and other cool radio events.

This is the third of FIVE special shows this month to help get you excited about the Studio Of Tomorrow Campaign, to remind you of how awesome WFMU is (not to mention my show in particular? maybe?), and hopefully to motivate you to pledge. Tonight it's the return of Mayhem In The PM! Yes, it's another three hours of nothing but power-pop, post-punk, new wave and punk records (yes, RECORDS) from 1977ish through 1982, presented in a Top 40 style just like I used to do on WNYU's New Afternoon Show a long long time ago. You'll know some, you won't know others, but you'll love 'em all. And, for a change, this year's edition features NO media format restrictions! Singles and LPs will be mixing together, just like the old days.

If you've already pledged, THANK YOU! Your support is greatly appreciated. If not,
P L E A S E P L E D G E N O W !
Don't make me turn on the <blink> tag.
Stay tuned for more exciting special shows all month, and please take a moment to Like The Evan "Funk" Davies Show on Facebook and follow me on Twitter! Thank you.!

	10:17pm Jim Allen: You're tearing it up tonight EFD, I love these little return trips to my youth, and was proud to make my pledge during this show (hint to others to do the same!)
	10:21pm Marmalade Kitty: It was actually a youth club disco :D
	10:21pm efd: Thanks Jim! And thanks everyone for tuning in and commenting - great to see everyone enjoying the show! As Jim points out we're in the middle of our off-air Studio Of Tomorrow fundraising campaign, and now would be a great time to show your support and help us build out a public space on the ground floor to host band sessions, live performances and other special events (maybe a Mayhem in the PM Dance Party???). Please use the white box on the left to make a pledge now, or just click here: www.wfmu.org... Thanks everyone!
	10:25pm john: OK, the show's really kicking it when the Secret Affair comes out. It's time for action!™
	10:25pm Barkevious Shabazz: Let's hear it for bp hurding.
	10:27pm Weems: Biggest music regret of the NYU era, not seeing Secret Affair at Privates!!
	10:27pm Jim Allen: "Shake & Shout" is one of my four-year-old daughter's favorite songs, admittedly due in part to my influence, just as it became one of mine via the influence of you and your cohorts 30-plus years ago :)
	10:28pm Marmalade Kitty: I'm up for this one! ;)
	10:28pm Holly in NC: @Marmalade Kitty - I went to a youth disco, once. Contracted chicken pox & the association remained too grim to ever return. Also, my minister wouldn't come vist me because he didn't want to get pox himself, which turned me off organized religion forever.
	10:30pm Holly in NC: Hi Danne! Richard Hell lured me back! ;-)
	10:30pm john: One of the greatest songs in the history of whatever you said it was one of the greatest songs in the history of? Yes. Yes it is!

	10:36pm Loretta: Yeah.... we need a dance party at the Studio of Tomorrow!
	10:37pm Marmalade Kitty: what is the capacity for the space?
	10:38pm Roger S: Mr. Funk Davies, you are an example of dj excellence. Would you possibly be able to point me in the direction of a good birthday themes show in the archives? I'm trying to make a special playlist for a friend.
	10:42pm calzone!: Listeners would love a special NYU show with EFD! Bring back Tim Sommers, Pablo, Weems, etc to chat about the halcyon days of yore... Before you all get too old to remember them!
	10:42pm Midge Ure: Please play some of my material from my moustache years.
	10:42pm Holly in NC: Heretically, I prefer John Foxx's recent work to his classic period. That NEVER happens!
	10:43pm Jim Allen: What calzone! said
	10:45pm Stevel: LOVE this Fleshtones album!!!! (Yes, I know, this is a single.) Lucky to see them twice in Madison in 83-84
	10:47pm Cubicle Carl: I believe I saw the Fleshtones in the basement of Loeb Student Center at NYU in 1979 with Nervus Rex.
	10:47pm efd: @MKitty, the total capacity will be 200, with 100 seats. Part of the money we're trying to raise will go toward two ADA-compliant rest rooms, which will bring us up to code for a 200-person space.
	10:48pm calzone!: Vic is here!
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: I love this song.
	10:49pm Joel: YES !!!!!!
	10:49pm Holly in NC: Yes. this is great. Goes really well with New Math, efd ...
	10:51pm Marmalade Kitty: tickets might be tight then? But I'd be happy to get 200 folks in an alternative-type music space anyday! Good crowd!
	10:52pm Weems: Good idea Calzone! Next Funktober?
	10:52pm Nardo: Is vic there, and for that matter, where's captain kirk?
	10:52pm Marmalade Kitty: cosy
	10:53pm Danne D: John Cale was the original Tea Party Politician ;)
	10:53pm pacific standard simon: My rifle is my friend, but yo mama is my girlfriend.
	10:53pm Stevel: Where, indeed, is Captain Kirk?
	10:53pm efd: Well that space isn't going to build itself! <--------- hint hint www.wfmu.org... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ hint hint!
	10:53pm calzone!: Ding Dong! Where's Pablo?
	10:54pm efd: get ready for one of the great all-time screams!
	10:56pm efd: Weems you are now dismissed.
	10:56pm gw: KONK perhaps.
	10:56pm Barkevious Shabazz: Celebrate peter murphy's bloated probation by playing bauhaus 'cover of that cale single's bside.
	10:58pm Holly in NC: Oooh!!!!!!!! Barkevious, that's a BRILLIANT suggestion.
	10:58pm steve: oh my god move on up cover
	10:59pm Sean B.: This is one hell of a set Evan!. Enjoying this immensely...
	10:59pm Danne D: :)
	11:00pm Marmalade Kitty: what was maxwells capacity? Similar?
	11:01pm Barkevious Shabazz: Meth is a hell of a drug. Cheetos too, apparently.
	11:01pm steve: mind blown
	11:04pm Marmalade Kitty: always space for a bar!
	11:05pm gw: wait . hoboken still exists ? huh.
	11:05pm Weems: Roger that Funk. Loved it.
	11:06pm Danne D: Social Bulletin Board Bulletin instead? :)
	11:07pm Marmalade Kitty: During the day and early evening a WFMU food menu? Will there be room for a kitchen? All sounds good!
	11:08pm efd: @MKitty, I think Maxwell's was around 200, but I just want to make clear this is solely going to be for WFMU broadcast events, not a 7-night a week club/bar.
	11:08pm Barkevious Shabazz: I luv Hard Times. But it sounds dated compared to Travelogue. Which kicks ass.
	11:10pm Marmalade Kitty: Aha, ok! I'm carried away with ideas! exciting none the less!
	11:11pm efd: Yeah, we're not getting into the hospitality business! Just expanding the kinds of programs/events we can host here now that we no longer have a ground floor tenant.
	11:11pm Holly in NC: Oh, this is my MUST dance song...
	11:12pm gw: cure?
	11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, goody. The government restarts tomorrow. Now that that is out of the way for a while, why not pledge to WFMU?
	11:12pm Danne D: Well I'm gonna get out of where I am :) Will be moving to car where I'll keep the EFD vibe going on the actual radio :) Thanks for a great show EFD :) Good night all :)
	11:13pm Marmalade Kitty: G'night Danne D!
	11:13pm arad evans: Oh, now you're getting back to it. The Gang.
	11:16pm Laura: Tenpole Tudor? dB's? Spizzenergi? Individuals?
	11:17pm efd: @Laura, some of the above!
	11:17pm efd: you were obviously a listener. :)
	11:18pm Holly in NC: Pylon? South represent!
	11:19pm Barkevious Shabazz: Is it going to far to request the entire Wanna Buy a Bridge comp? Prolly.
	11:19pm Marmalade Kitty: Bunnymen!
	11:19pm ADL: almost AKA "Transmission."
	11:20pm efd: ha ha! Yes, I think so Barkevious! Holly, I do have some Pylon with me! Starting to run out of time!
	11:20pm Holly in NC: New Order is like a little black dress...
	11:22pm Laura: @efd: Oh, yeah! Used to hang out at the studio, even though I wasn't an NYU student. Just walked right in. Those were the days! Loscalzo would put me to work answering the request line.
	11:22pm Marmalade Kitty: hard to get into? :D
	11:22pm gw: lawn chairs are everywhere
	11:23pm Holly in NC: @MK - zing! You win :-)
	11:25pm Aharon: Great show, Evan. Makes me wish I'd paid more attention to what the cool kids were listening to in high school.
	11:26pm Barkevious Shabazz: Spizzl hafta do.
	11:28pm efd: I have "Lawn Chairs" with me too. We'll see if I can squeeze it in!
	11:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: I listened to this crap in high school and look where it got me..Commenting in nerdville.
	11:28pm Holly in NC: Another must dance song! (by now it should be clear that I hop, and bounce, in favor of more interpretive forms)
	11:29pm gw: you sure comment alot .
	11:30pm Holly in NC: True.
	11:33pm Joaquin Benoit: These new wave tunes got me PUMPED.
	11:34pm Jim Allen: What, no Afraid Of Mice? :)
	11:35pm efd: it's sitting next to the turntables, Jim! Working on it! :)
	11:35pm gw: good girls don't.
	11:35pm efd: Joaquin, this song describes what you're going to be sitting on after Sunday!
	11:36pm Glenn L: LAWNCHAIRS!!!
	11:36pm Jim Allen: Ha! I just naturally associate that AFM single with the Music For Pleasure song, probably on account of you!
	11:37pm efd: both fire-related too.
	11:39pm eyenoise: EFD: Can you make this show a template for a WFMU alternate web stream?
	11:41pm Gary: Request: "Spend" by Shoes for Industry (Fried Egg Records)
	11:42pm osvi: Lookit all those songs. Great jams.
	11:43pm Holly in NC: Thank you efd!
	11:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: There's gotta be a scratchy old 7" of The Original Mirrors "Dancing with the Rebels" down there somewhere.
	11:46pm efd: I have an Original Mirrors LP that I didn't bring with me. @Gary, no dice on Shoes For Industry I'm afraid.

	11:51pm gw: Hey Evan , thanks for being around to play it all again . It's great to hear your voice behind these songs 30 odd years later . You still sound great.
