	9:14pm jon: hi efd. great start. ive got to find this reissue.
	9:14pm Stevel: Great and glorious frozen evening to you all
	9:15pm ScottC: For some reason I feel like putting on a pair of leather pants, lambs kin vest and a Wehrmacht helmet and jumping on a hog chopper and hitting the road... Weird
	9:19pm coelacanth: Lurch was reanimated for the original series.
	9:20pm Loretta: good evening Evan & all fellow listeners........staying warm?
	9:21pm Alejandroool: pretty frigid here in Torronna.... great sounds so far EFD!
	9:25pm Mailman Tom: The new, improved Elvis !
	9:26pm clinton hensley: My favorite Elvis.
	9:30pm JakeGould: Kirstie Alley was Savikk “Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan.”
	9:37pm Alejandroool: Savak is sounding great, as I expected.. great introduction
	9:39pm Folsom: @JskeGould KHAAANNNN!
	9:44pm efd: Very glad you're all here to get in on the ground floor for Savak!
	9:49pm efd: @Loretta -- reasonably warm for now, curious to see what Saturday brings, snow-wise.
	9:49pm coelacanth: sounds Great and they're tight!
	9:50pm efd: TEASER: They end the set with a cover of one of my all-time favorite Stranglers songs.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm - tight but not uptight - great songs, smart - but ketchy. Thx everybody!
	9:51pm coelacanth: all of my favorite stranglers songs are on "the raven"...but i'm sure i'm in the minority on that.
	9:53pm coelacanth: Rabbit i know what you mean. they're naturally tight because they're passionate about what they're doing.
	9:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull, they got these smart songs down & arranged - but they haven't smoothed out the Rawkin' edges. A pinch of Television maybe - but that's not quite it...Impressive.
	9:56pm efd: This is also not their first rodeo, which I think helps with the tightness. with all due respect
	10:02pm coelacanth: right. like Rabbit said- not "uptight"...i guess "tight" to some means "slick" or "clean", but i'm generally not a fan of sanitized music. this just sounds like they know what they're doing and they're comfortable with each-other. - yeah this is a good stranglers song!
	10:02pm Stevel: Cool cover. Don't hear many people taking on the Stranglers. Enjoying it.
	10:04pm coelacanth: from the stranglers' first album? (i have it on a comp)
	10:09pm John Arthur: That was awesome
	10:10pm ScottC: Savak were the Iranian secret police for the Shah so I don't think that a member would have any trouble with the TSA
	10:11pm Stevel: I miss the Obits. Shameless plug: If you're coming to Chicago, Detroit or thereabouts, plug Fort Wayne into your schedule. Please! Perhaps contact the Brass Rail. I have no connection, but I'll come out! End of shameless plug.
	10:13pm Alejandroool: yeh - and we've got plenty that will accommodate you here in Toronto if you start crossing borders...
	10:14pm coelacanth: ditto for new paltz! (snugs)
	10:15pm Stevel: Fish: Snugs, like pub snugs?
	10:18pm coelacanth: "snug harbor" technically - yes a pub. 'been there?
	10:23pm steve: hahaha
	10:23pm steve: this is awesome
	10:24pm efd: I wish it was a 12"!
	10:25pm efd: @Coel, yes, "Grip" was on the first Stranglers album (and was also a single)
	10:31pm steve: alright John Travolta is the song of 2016 so far as far as im concerned
	10:36pm Marc15: Let's hope Michael's guests have Montgomery Street on their GPS or they won't be able to show up, like Lloyd Price didn't
	10:39pm efd: I believe Michael's guests this weekend will be appearing via telephone.
	10:39pm Jeff: Hello, Funksters. Hey, please don't be disturbed if there's a blip in your stream listening - possibly even the stream stopping for you. If that happens, hit play again and you should reconnect (to a different server). I have to apply a security update to one of the stream servers and reboot it, so if it's the one you're now listening to you'll notice. Sorry!
	10:43pm efd: thanks for the warning, Jeff!
	10:43pm Alejandroool: thx Jeff
	10:48pm Stevel: Pretty sure David Byrne is looking at Uncle Michael and me.
	10:50pm herb.nyc: Re MANTLES, I wrote "mantles (slr)" on piece of paper couple of wks ago. Now that you played them, Evan, I realized what I wrote. For I kept thinking "single lens reflex??", thanks.
	10:52pm efd: ha, glad I could clear that up Herb!
	10:55pm Alex of Chicago: sweet tune
	10:56pm JakeGould: @Jeff: What if someone chooses to be disturbed but not in a way that interferes with others? I think that should be allowed.
	10:57pm Jeff: Okay, as you were - both stream servers are freshly updated and back up; DNS for your first-choice stream server now points back to our Noo York City presence. Take that, CVE-2016-0728.
	10:58pm Jeff: @Jake: that's a matter for you and your security blanket. It's nobody else's business.
	11:03pm JakeGould: I wonder if I could market a security blanket for servers?
	11:10pm glenn: chris spedding.
	11:11pm glenn: oh, and bryan, of course.
	11:20pm Jeff: @JakeGould: if it had a high enough tinfoil content, I betcha.
	11:25pm Aharon: You know you've been listening to FMU too long (or just the right amount) when you're editing with the radio on in the background and you think to yourself after 2 seconds of a song, "Oh, this sounds like a new Shit and Shine."
	11:34pm glenn: split and spline?
	11:35pm Clay: British Lions. Nice choice, Evan. RIP Buffin.
	11:36pm Todd-o-phonic: Not to "Schinderize" you, but Wilbert Harrison first cut it as "Let's Stick Together", then later as "Let's Work Together".
	11:38pm efd: ah, thanks Todd! The Canned Heat version was one of the first singles I ever bought, so I've always thought of it as "Let's Work Together." I appreciate the clarification!
	11:38pm herb.nyc: Ooh, a Hugo Largo cover!
	11:39pm glenn: i LOVE that canned heat record.
	11:42pm Clay: Agree on the Canned Heat, Glenn. Also love "On The Road Again" by them, Stellar track. Blind Owl! Bob the Bear Hite! Sic 'em Pigs!
	11:44pm efd: Now I might have to bring in the Canned Heat version next week! Hi Clay, thanks for checking in!
	11:48pm Clay: Bring the Heat, Ev!
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Zats, got sleepy and missed much of the program. This is good stuff now.
	11:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: As long as Jerry Hall doesn't re-make/re-model "Let's Stick Together" with Rupert Murdoch we should be alright.
	11:53pm V Priceless: swell show, efd! Thanks for the Bowie, too !
	11:55pm efd: I really thought that Jerry Hall/Rupert Murdoch thing was a joke the first couple of times I saw posts about it.
	11:55pm coelacanth: this song is such a beautiful closer. ...and maybe closure.
	11:56pm efd: thanks V! And thanks Ken and Aharon and JakeGould and everyone else I didn't say hi to directly earlier.
	11:57pm Nigel: This could be no more garage.
	11:58pm coelacanth: but the singer sounds like sonny bono!
	12:00am coelacanth: Thanks Evan Thanks savak ciao y'all.
	12:00am coelacanth: pronounced "shah-na"!
	12:00am Clay: Solid show, man.
	11:07am Astrojanitor: The Wolfmanhattan Project and Howlo tracks were awesome. Another solid show!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 20, 2016

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.

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!
