	9:45pm efd: sadly Green Thoughts is missing from both the WFMU and EFD record libraries
	9:46pm Stevel: Behind the Wall of Sleep. Strong song. Best to all.

In conclusion, Godspeed EFD and all the world's coincidences.

	10:32pm efd: hey there DJ E! Whereabouts in FLA? @Ajax, yes, 100% agree!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 13, 2017

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!

December 13, 2017: RIP Pat DiNizio and Graham Daddy
