Listener comments!
	9:04pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Evan and everyone.
	9:05pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy EFD and friends
	9:06pm Kat in Chicago: Starting with the seventies! Hi errybody. How was the disco show? I was out of town last week.
	9:08pm efd: well I thought it was pretty good!
	9:09pm medson: hey there efd and everyone
	9:10pm redkayak: Evening all :)
	9:13pm redkayak: I was alive when disco happened. Never liked it, but I liked the show last week. I guess time heals all?
	9:13pm Folsom: Control Top should be a great set.
	9:14pm efd: I had a "Disco Sucks" shirt in high school (late '70s). I got over it.
	9:14pm Kat in Chicago: Whoops, wrong Magazine track on the accu :)
	9:15pm efd: haha whoops, thanks Kat!
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: quick fix there!
	9:21pm JakeGould: Hey!
	9:22pm medson: Love this opening set
	9:22pm Barkevious Shabazz: Lurv Hard Times.
	9:23pm jmd: Oooh yeah, the crazy synth solo! Thanks for playing Hard Times
	9:25pm jmd: This is a competitor for Devastator.
	9:26pm efd: oh Devastator's got like 3 or 4 minutes on Hard Times easily!
	9:29pm listener 126464: vaguely remember this song
	9:29pm Kat in Chicago: Ha, I almost forgot about Devastator!
	9:33pm JakeGould: Holy foxing sheep! We’re the best comments!
	9:33pm P-90: Snappy opening set!
	9:34pm John from Florham park: Hey guys what’s up
	9:36pm John from Florham park: @Kat did not listen to the show either,not my cup of tea
	9:38pm Kat in Chicago: @John It is very much my cup of tea! Just wasn't at home for it this year. It's always a fun one to listen live to.
	9:41pm John from Florham park: @Kat just have never liked disco, but hey if you like it no problem
	9:42pm listener 126464: Control Top drops off Titus A. tour right before Monty Hall and Asbury Park Brewery (going) dates
	9:43pm efd: yeah, bummer! I was hoping they'd be doing those shows.
	9:53pm wanderlust: so glad I toned in..Control Top!
	9:53pm efd: they're so good.
	9:58pm Kat in Chicago: As a woman with a convex belly I also enjoy their choice of band name
	9:59pm efd: haha! It's a pretty great name.
	10:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Uncontrolled Bottom may or may not also be a great name. I'm still trying to decide on that.
	10:05pm Kat in Chicago: @KFHP signs point to no :)
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: "Office Rage"!
	10:07pm efd: she had to sing "Eat dust!" in place of the original lyric. It wasn't dust that was being eaten, I can assure you.
	10:08pm steveL: Woof! Wow!
	10:08pm Kat in Chicago: Heehee! Good substitution.
	10:09pm efd: that's what I said!
	10:09pm efd: (applies to both recent comments but primarily directed at Steve)
	10:10pm efd: they are also three of the nicest people I've ever had on the show
	10:13pm Phillippe Bastille: That was more intense than my typical Wednesday night... Thanks EFD!
	10:17pm efd: mine too! You're welcome, Phillippe!
	10:18pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD and all! Was the name Cookie & the Crumbs already taken? I'm no marketing guru but...
	10:20pm steveL: Boy, it would be cool if Control Top added Fort Wayne to the beginning or end of their tour.
	10:22pm efd: Hi Jack! I think it must have been, right? Probably some hotel lounge combo in the midwest, I'm guessing.
	10:24pm medson: Hi Jack, great show efd. Have to tap out now zzzzzzzzz. Catch ya on the archives
	10:26pm efd: later Meds!
	10:30pm Kat in Chicago: I did a search for "Cookie & the Crumbs". which certainly seems like it would have been used previously. However, the only other one I found was Cook E. Jarr and the Krums, who apparently played Las Vegas lounges for decades. So you weren't far off, EFD.
	10:32pm Kat in Chicago: "Looking like a cross between a young Buddy Hackett and Moe of the Three Stooges, Jarr’s trademarks were his helmet hairstyle (thanks to cans of Aquanet), a chestful of chains, customized jeans (most with his name embroidered down one leg), and a perpetual tan so deep that he looked like he’d just returned from a visit to the surface of the sun." www.lasvegasadvisor.com...
	10:33pm Aitch: A stiffy, boner etc
	10:34pm steveL: Fort Wayne wants them, and may be reaching out. More updates as they develop.
	10:37pm steveL: Constant Mongrels is one of my favorite band names, ESPECIALLY with the full understanding. Eternal Boners just isn’t the same.
	10:42pm efd: ha, I was thinking of Cook E. Jarr! I remember seeing that name on a marquee in Vegas decades ago.
	10:42pm steveL: ...Strident Stiffy...
	10:47pm two tigers: Yeay! Sounds of Summer!!!
	10:47pm steveL: Play that French horn, baby!
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: Aw, summer's almost over. Beautiful day in Chicago today, but noticeably a bit cooler.
	10:51pm steveL: Lloyd Cole was here about two months ago. Didn’t go, for some reason. Don’t be like me. He’s an absolute treasure/treat/name your favorite superlative.
	10:55pm efd: bad decision by you, steve!
	10:58pm steveL: Indeed. Saw him about seven months after he spun records on your show. He was wonderful. Funny. Great songwriter.
	10:59pm Hoboken Jack: Already established that I'm no marketing guru, but an apostrophe and two accents in that name?
	11:00pm Kat in Chicago: That's French for ya.
	11:02pm steveL: They’ve earned them, Jack. How’ve you been? Give me reasons to come to NJ:NYC. I need to swing a WFMU visit.
	11:03pm steveL: Better yet, I believe Lloyd Cole enjoys playing to intimate audiences (no touching!)
	11:08pm steveL: That’s too bad. Andrew gave a fascinating interview. Sharp filmmaker. Peace.
	11:10pm Hoboken Jack: Kat, it's like Steve Martin once said: Those French have a different word for EVERYTHING! Hey SteveL, been pretty good, thanks! Maybe venture to Monty Hall for the Long Ryders on Sept 18?
	11:10pm efd: yeah, I didn't know he'd been sick until I heard the news.
	11:15pm steveL: TS were good at what they did. The documentary shows some of the reasons why. Klaus-wise, If you’ve never seen this... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HmLk2vSXXtk Best unusual/unexpected dance interludes
	11:22pm Chop Scott: Ah--Old school Boston. Nat Friedberg's voice is unmistakable!
	11:22pm efd: it really is!
	11:22pm efd: and good evening to you, Scott!
	11:24pm Aitch: This new Oh Sees even crazier than usual
	11:29pm choggie: Awww damn! Missed the Total Eclipse!! Yayyy Klaus Nomi!
	11:36pm Elle Tor’s Husband: Kids in the hall comes from Jack Benny who had young comedians waiting to get a meeting. He called them “the kids in the hall”. I fucking miss Jack Benny!
	11:39pm Phillippe Bastille: thanks for the tunes and talk EFD. Good night all
	11:43pm efd: thanks for listening Phillippe!
	11:53pm Kat in Chicago: Amazing that the match/lighter thing started with Tiny Tim, of all people.
	11:53pm efd: right??
	11:58pm P-90: Another one in the bag for posterity. Thanks efd!
	12:01am Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Evan! Nice live set. Time for you to catch your breath after this run of guests!
	6:42pm Ajax: You're the best, thanks for the spin and the shout out!
	12:36pm Miss Georgia Peach: Had to listen to that Control Top live again! Nice!

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from August 28, 2019

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!
