	9:23pm Handy Haversack: Hoots! Hoots!
	9:25pm Dr. Beam: The Revillos. I had no idea. This tune is great!
	9:27pm ultradamno: @Dr. Beam You might want to catch up on this special previous episode of this show then www.wfmu.org...
	9:28pm Dr. Beam: @ultradamno Thank you!
	9:29pm ultradamno: I thought this a cover of In My Area for a second
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: OK, faces stuffed. Doug, ultradamno, HyperDose, prof.fuzz, Mariano, Kat, everyone: Hel-freaking-lo!
	9:36pm D Rok (in brooklyn): Duane played some Soul Central this afternoon. Different track. Both are very good!
	9:37pm prof.fuzz: Hi Handy!
	9:38pm CC: I won't miss...kind of sounds like a cross between the Beatles and Dave Clark Five???...:)
	9:39pm ultradamno: Hiya Handy!
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: @prof.fuzz, /Owls/ is definitely high on my list of albums I got this year thanks to efd!
	9:41pm prof.fuzz: Thanks Handy! Glad you're digging it.
	9:42pm HyperDose: Handy! How was your feast?
	9:43pm Handy Haversack: InHALED, HyperDose. It had been a long afternoon of poker and alcohol. I was ready for solids.
	9:43pm Bianconeri: The Confidence-Man is absolutely amazing Herman Melville novel, btw. Feels at least 70 years ahead of its time (and frighteningly relevant to our present moment, too.)
	9:43pm CC: This song kind of reminds me of that old song from the sixties ding dong the witch is dead???...:)
	9:47pm ultradamno: And I didn't think of it the first few times I heard it, but I'm getting a little Man Whose Head Expanded off Alexa...up until he makes the bloody, blimey space invader to be turned off
	9:47pm Paulie B: Alexa, play Evan "Funk" Davies. Whoa, what a coincidence!
	9:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Alexa play “Get on board” by Paul Robeson
	9:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Ha!
	9:48pm prof.fuzz: @ultradamno Yup. Totally a MES/Fall vibe goin' on here.
	9:48pm Kat in Chicago: I hear a few more amusing details in that song every time I listen :)
	9:48pm CC: Only on WFMU!!!...:)
	9:48pm brian: Alexa, take me live to the year-end faves of the coolest DJ.
	9:49pm prof.fuzz: i'm gonna literally fall out of my chair if miss eaves doesn't pop up on this list.
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: Right, Kat? Though Kate and I dissolve in giggles every time with "love of kayaking." We put the over/under on miss eaves at 2, prof.fuzz!
	9:50pm prof.fuzz: or number 3 for "3 jobs"???
	9:50pm neil quarantino: That didn’t work very well, as I’m listening through Alexa and she stopped the stream to hear a command.
	9:52pm efd: ha, sorry (?) neil!
	9:53pm efd: @Handy you've gotta commit! You taking the over or the under? Or a push?
	9:55pm Handy Haversack: Under!
	9:56pm Handy Haversack: (To be clear: no. 1!)
	9:59pm Threemoons: Okay, long holiday weekend shopping DONE. Tomorrow: Cook collards; save cornbread and Hoppin John for NYD proper. Major chunk of unemployment check gone at pharmacist, greengrocers, supermarket, and liquor store.
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Ooo, smooth working in of the legal! And we win the bet against ourselves!
	10:00pm prof.fuzz: Ding! Ding! Ding!
	10:00pm efd: @Handy I was just adding in that extra element of suspense!
	10:00pm neil quarantino: It was great anyway, efd!
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: To be fair (to be faaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiah!), Kate predicted Lulu Lewis at no. 2 also!
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: Well done, Threemoons!
	10:02pm efd: good looking out, K8!
	10:03pm bbxtina: I KNEW IT!!!
	10:03pm Stevel: Yup! Strong stuff, Miss Eaves.
	10:03pm bbxtina: her EP is soo damn good
	10:04pm efd: it was hard to choose which song to play from it!
	10:04pm prof.fuzz: so damn real...
	10:05pm RobinSays: Very topical and timely tunes, Evan. We are living in "interesting" times...
	10:05pm Handy Haversack: I know, efd, holy crap! I love this song so much but don't think I could ever pick against the best song ever about SANDWICHES!!
	10:05pm bbxtina: i love stacks but this is the one that i heard first on your show and i have been obsessed since.
	10:05pm bbxtina: maybe its because i love sangwiches im so happy someone wrote a song about them
	10:06pm Ali: This is SO GOOD
	10:06pm bbxtina: @Handy hahah yes i agree
	10:08pm Ali: Shout out to WFMU in general for helping me feel connected to humanity during this sh**show of a year.
	10:09pm CC: This is kind of nice so these songs are not all made in 2020??
	10:09pm efd: @Ali right backatcha! WFMU listeners have been a lifeline throughout the year, we appreciate all of you SO MUCH.
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: OK, we're gonna need a bigger Ethernet cable.
	10:13pm Kat in Chicago: oh noes!
	10:13pm CC: I was really enjoying that song?!?...:)
	10:13pm Aitch: Thanks Scott!

	10:14pm Uncle Michael: I love this new America record. Nice to know Bill Quateman is still with us!
	10:14pm ChuckAmok: freaking me out now
	10:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: Get some strain relief on that ethernet cable!
	10:14pm Paulie B: @CC I believe that was a tune from "De La Soul is Dead" if you want to track it down and hear it in full. (After Evan's show, of course).
	10:15pm Bleakley: Tuning in from Bovina, NY! Great lyrics!
	10:16pm ultradamno: I remember this from one of those Rodney comps. (also where I first heard Minutemen, I think) Fun song.
	10:16pm CC: Thank you Beetle Paulie!!!...:)
	10:16pm BH: the top 5 Ethernet cables countdown is in an hour
	10:17pm ultradamno: Got to stay current on developments in cord tech
	10:17pm efd: @BH lol!
	10:18pm efd: 5-way tie for last at this rate
	10:19pm D Rok (in brooklyn): I'm very upset they only released 4 tracks of this compilation digitally (this was not one of them). I think the physical records are all sold out now.
	10:20pm Handy Haversack: One cord to rule them all.
	10:20pm Bianconeri: the mystery kindaichi band album has the most amazing cover. I bought it totally unheard just because of the cover. Luckily it's great.
	10:21pm ChuckAmok: countsdown
	10:22pm Handy Haversack: Didn't see a non-Amazon U.S. distributor for the Girls Go Power Pop CD. Grrr.

	10:33pm Jason from Houston: ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	10:35pm CC: Nice stereo separation!!!...:)
	10:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. I'll bet DJ $mall ¢hange likes this Ty Segall because of the built-in laser blasts.
	10:37pm brian: Segall Smeagol!
	10:38pm Hoboken Jack: A bit of a Jack White feel to the Segall guitar right there.
	10:38pm Aitch: This Ty / Nilsson a track of the year contender for me
	10:39pm Aitch: But that was before the inside of my home was filled with microphones, so what would I know
	10:39pm bbxtina: this song reaches into my soul
	10:40pm efd: @Aitch it is a beast, that's for sure!
	10:41pm mariano: Oh hey there, Handy and HoboJack!
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano! How are all the secret projects going?

	10:44pm CC: Mariano... tell us the next best thing that's going to happen!?!...:)
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: You might be able to buy him off with pecan pie, Handy. I like the Rose City Band's material this year.
	10:45pm Jason from Houston: Weird year... Forgot this was a 2020 release.
	10:45pm efd: @javakid No there is not!
	10:45pm efd: which is a shame because I love those too songs together!

	10:47pm CC: This sounds kind of Grateful Dead ish???...:)
	10:47pm Scott Williams: Rose City was on my Pile I Didn't Get To for today. Too bad you can't do the EFD megamix on awards night!
	10:49pm Scott Williams: Oooh yeah, been waiting for this one too!
	10:49pm efd: I had to at least include the transitional moment from 'Wee Hours" to "Wildflowers"
	10:49pm javakid: cheers
	10:49pm Kat in Chicago: Oh yeah this one!
	10:50pm Handy Haversack: spodi is a friend of mine!
	10:50pm Vanessa bikes: I had a friend called Jody...
	10:50pm CC: Kinda Steely Dan ish???...:)
	10:50pm efd: "He liked to call me kid/I liked it when he did" is such a wonderful lyric, imho
	10:50pm Luisa24: @CC Definitely a Deadish jammy space vibe, probably why I like RCB
	10:51pm ChuckAmok: swing out sister-ish vibe here
	10:51pm Tommy in Neversink: CC...ya think
	10:51pm thesecoronalives: efd: second that opinion!
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, efd, top notch. Raw and understated.
	10:52pm CC: Yeah bsby...what you said!!!...:)
	10:52pm Jinx: love the Steely Dan vibe of jody
	10:53pm CC: Hahaha...:)
	10:53pm mariano: Handy: I am unaware of any such operation or activity...
	10:53pm spodiodi: Handy \m/
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Jody was a friend! That's some saxamaphone, right there. Thanks, efd...good show, mate.
	10:55pm CC: Well Mariano... just don't forget if you try to plant a bomb anywhere handy was right on top of it!!!...:)
	10:55pm Scott Williams: @efd, Jump into the Fire: Heather Trost, and who else?
	10:58pm efd: @Scott Chris Cornell! Played it near the end of my show a couple of weeks ago.
	10:59pm Handy Haversack: Chris Cornell! Oh. Er. As efd just said.
	10:59pm Scott Williams: Ohhhhhh right! He squeaked in under the "released in" caveat
	10:59pm javakid: EFD I have my short list of what I think is your short list. It's fun to play at home. Now when will The Worriers and Cold Beat come in....
	11:01pm ultradamno: Nice shades, ganser
	11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! This is a band I mentioned to you months ago, but couldn't remember the name. I mentioned them because they are great, but also because the vocals remind me of Kate's in some ways.
	11:02pm efd: @javakid Let's see how you do!
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: I remember it like it was mere hours ago, Mr. P!
	11:03pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, efd, Scott, and fellow Funktionaries! Just dropping in to say I’m enjoying this year-end overview as much as I’m enjoying this year ending.
	11:03pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...Ganser, that is. ganser.bandcamp.com...
	11:03pm efd: @Gaylord wow, high praise indeed!
	11:03pm ChuckAmok: ganser sounded like they coulda been opening up for polvo
	11:04pm Bianconeri: Interesting Times Gang stuff so good! And yes I love this Modern Nature record, too
	11:04pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...no, that was Robert Mitchum films. Mere. Hours. Ago.
	11:04pm richardbarone: @efd Omg Thank You for including "I Had A Dream" in your Best of 2020! :)
	11:05pm Mr. Pumpy: Gaylord...hey! Nice to see you drop in.
	11:05pm efd: My pleasure, Richard!
	11:05pm Mr. Pumpy: @Chuck, I hear you.
	11:07pm Gaylord Fields: Hiya, Mr. Pumpy!
	11:07pm ChuckAmok: i live for end-of-year retrospectives like this - it'll give me stuff to listen to for months
	11:07pm mariano: Hey, Mr. P! Rober Mitchum films, eff yeah.
	11:08pm Mr. Pumpy: This Dream Syndicate is so good, I hadn't heard it until now. At least not actively. Excellent!
	11:09pm efd: And this is the shortest song on the album!
	11:09pm efd: ... not that I'm hyper-focused on the time or anything ...
	11:09pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...yo! Yeah, we were talking about Night of the Hunter earlier. That's the good stuff. Noir with a twisted flavor of religion and lost children. What more can you ask for?
	11:10pm Mr. Pumpy: efd...ha! Can you squeeze them in? To think this band can deliver the goods like this at this point in their career. Amazing.
	11:10pm javakid: 11 more songs in 50 minutes, with your pop instincts EFD, nothing to worry about.
	11:10pm Scott Williams: a Steve Wynn triple tonight! (Evan, I played a bit of Staten Island during one of the dropouts). Hi Gaylord!
	11:11pm Gaylord Fields: efd, it’s a hoary old cliché that terrible times inspire great art, but I do think that might actually hold true for 2020. And heaven knows we needed it this year!
	11:11pm Handy Haversack: (I just hope there's time for the air horns!)
	11:12pm javakid: @handy, yep, that might, eh, blow it.
	11:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: The air horn won’t be the shortest track of this show.
	11:13pm Joe B: forgot to include Dream Syndicate in my list. I think it came out in March the week the lockdown started
	11:13pm Mr. Pumpy: White Hills! This may take some time...
	11:13pm CC: Great show Evan!!! we got to go eat something...:)
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: Angels' trumpets and devils' trombones. We are invited!
	11:16pm ChuckAmok: this is an entertaining show mr fudge davis :)
	11:18pm spodiodi: really slow hellos back, Mr. Pumpy and Hoboken Jack!
	11:22pm Handy Haversack: SPOXX!!
	11:23pm bbxtina: hahha this song makes me think of every suburban dad
	11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Trumps and tromps...and Sparks.
	11:23pm Aitch: Yay Sparks
	11:24pm Chop Scott: Ah, Sparks!
	11:25pm Joe R.: Loved The Explorers Club double release as well—their pointing me to Danny Hutton’s Roses and Rainbows was one of my favorites of the year
	11:25pm ultradamno: Is he really not going to work in the phrase "shower not a grower" Missed opportunity.
	11:26pm Handy Haversack: Yeah! This album is so good! And Duncan Reid seemed super nice.
	11:32pm bbxtina: loved that cover of the dB's wow so nostalgic
	11:33pm bbxtina: sounded alot like them though, am i missing something?
	11:34pm vertual: Holsapple Stamey - my go to sing along album of the year!
	11:34pm ChuckAmok: pancakes are good brunch!
	11:35pm Mr. Pumpy: "We will eat those pancakes, damnit!" Yes, we will.
	11:35pm Handy Haversack: Eyelids def. one of K8's top ten albums of the year. But missing that Pancake Brunch .. that was brutal. I had this weird couple of hours? days? when I was all like, "Oh, it's OK that the Tartan Day Parade was canceled! That means I can go see Eyelids at WFMU!" Because I am usually pretty stupid, you see.
	11:35pm Hoboken Jack: Not to be a stickler, but that was to be a waffles show, not pancakes.
	11:35pm neil quarantino: bbxtina, they’re 1/2 of the dB’s
	11:36pm spodiodi: \\//
	11:36pm Handy Haversack: OK, thank you, Jack! I thought it was waffles -- I was extra excited for that!
	11:37pm Chop Scott: Right you are Hoboken Jack--waffles!
	11:37pm Mr. Pumpy: It was crêpes!
	11:37pm efd: oh it WAS waffles!! whoops!
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: You get the hell out of here, Pumpy!
	11:38pm Hoboken Jack: I didn't want some Mandela Effect thing happening.
	11:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Upper Crust...one of the best live acts. It's been many years, but they killed.
	11:38pm Scott Williams: Thank you Jack, I too remembered waffles! Hiya Jack!
	11:38pm ChuckAmok: lol, can't believe I'm hearing Upper Crust-adjacent jams in 2020
	11:39pm Mr. Pumpy: Fine, I'll go eat my blintzes elsewhere.
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Can I have a blintz?
	11:41pm efd: @ChukAmok and @Mr Pumpy I highly recommend the record Nat put out last year under the band name Freeloader - it's more of a hard rock/Crust vibe, and very good. (With Jackie Kickassis on drums to boot)
	11:41pm Mr. Pumpy: Oh...now you want something! Sure.
	11:41pm Hoboken Jack: Lithics, yessssssss!!!
	11:42pm Scott Williams: Evan, I bet my listeners today that we'd be hearing Lithics tonight. Man, I'm glad I stuck around!
	11:42pm Mr. Pumpy: This album rules.
	11:42pm Jason from Houston: ꒰◍ᐡᐤᐡ◍꒱ᐝ.∗✩⁺˚⑅

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 30, 2020

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.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show playlists | Next playlist -->

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 30, 2020: live from Studio E(FD), it's my Best of 2020! (relatively speaking)

	9:43pm Handy Haversack: InHALED, HyperDose. It had been a long afternoon of poker and alcohol. I was ready for solids.

	9:47pm ultradamno: And I didn't think of it the first few times I heard it, but I'm getting a little Man Whose Head Expanded off Alexa...up until he makes the bloody, blimey space invader to be turned off

	9:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Alexa play “Get on board” by Paul Robeson
	9:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Ha!
	9:48pm prof.fuzz: @ultradamno Yup. Totally a MES/Fall vibe goin' on here.
	9:48pm Kat in Chicago: I hear a few more amusing details in that song every time I listen :)
	9:48pm CC: Only on WFMU!!!...:)
	9:48pm brian: Alexa, take me live to the year-end faves of the coolest DJ.
	9:49pm prof.fuzz: i'm gonna literally fall out of my chair if miss eaves doesn't pop up on this list.
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: Right, Kat? Though Kate and I dissolve in giggles every time with "love of kayaking." We put the over/under on miss eaves at 2, prof.fuzz!
	9:50pm prof.fuzz: or number 3 for "3 jobs"???
	9:50pm neil quarantino: That didn’t work very well, as I’m listening through Alexa and she stopped the stream to hear a command.
	9:52pm efd: ha, sorry (?) neil!
	9:53pm efd: @Handy you've gotta commit! You taking the over or the under? Or a push?
	9:55pm Handy Haversack: Under!
	9:56pm Handy Haversack: (To be clear: no. 1!)
	9:59pm Threemoons: Okay, long holiday weekend shopping DONE. Tomorrow: Cook collards; save cornbread and Hoppin John for NYD proper. Major chunk of unemployment check gone at pharmacist, greengrocers, supermarket, and liquor store.
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Ooo, smooth working in of the legal! And we win the bet against ourselves!
	10:00pm prof.fuzz: Ding! Ding! Ding!
	10:00pm efd: @Handy I was just adding in that extra element of suspense!
	10:00pm neil quarantino: It was great anyway, efd!
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: To be fair (to be faaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiah!), Kate predicted Lulu Lewis at no. 2 also!
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: Well done, Threemoons!
	10:02pm efd: good looking out, K8!
	10:03pm bbxtina: I KNEW IT!!!
	10:03pm Stevel: Yup! Strong stuff, Miss Eaves.
	10:03pm bbxtina: her EP is soo damn good
	10:04pm efd: it was hard to choose which song to play from it!
	10:04pm prof.fuzz: so damn real...
	10:05pm RobinSays: Very topical and timely tunes, Evan. We are living in "interesting" times...
	10:05pm Handy Haversack: I know, efd, holy crap! I love this song so much but don't think I could ever pick against the best song ever about SANDWICHES!!
	10:05pm bbxtina: i love stacks but this is the one that i heard first on your show and i have been obsessed since.
	10:05pm bbxtina: maybe its because i love sangwiches im so happy someone wrote a song about them
	10:06pm Ali: This is SO GOOD
	10:06pm bbxtina: @Handy hahah yes i agree

	10:15pm Bleakley: Tuning in from Bovina, NY! Great lyrics!
	10:16pm ultradamno: I remember this from one of those Rodney comps. (also where I first heard Minutemen, I think) Fun song.

	10:35pm CC: Nice stereo separation!!!...:)
	10:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. I'll bet DJ $mall ¢hange likes this Ty Segall because of the built-in laser blasts.
	10:37pm brian: Segall Smeagol!
	10:38pm Hoboken Jack: A bit of a Jack White feel to the Segall guitar right there.
	10:38pm Aitch: This Ty / Nilsson a track of the year contender for me
	10:39pm Aitch: But that was before the inside of my home was filled with microphones, so what would I know
	10:39pm bbxtina: this song reaches into my soul
	10:40pm efd: @Aitch it is a beast, that's for sure!
	10:41pm mariano: Oh hey there, Handy and HoboJack!

	10:44pm CC: Mariano... tell us the next best thing that's going to happen!?!...:)
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: You might be able to buy him off with pecan pie, Handy. I like the Rose City Band's material this year.
	10:45pm Jason from Houston: Weird year... Forgot this was a 2020 release.
	10:45pm efd: @javakid No there is not!
	10:45pm efd: which is a shame because I love those too songs together!
	10:46pm Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍•ᴗ•◍꒱:+
	10:46pm xtrakrispy: Happy FMU year y’all. It’s music like this right here, that got me thru 2020. Thanks for the tunes EFD!
	10:47pm CC: This sounds kind of Grateful Dead ish???...:)
	10:47pm Scott Williams: Rose City was on my Pile I Didn't Get To for today. Too bad you can't do the EFD megamix on awards night!
	10:49pm Scott Williams: Oooh yeah, been waiting for this one too!
	10:49pm efd: I had to at least include the transitional moment from 'Wee Hours" to "Wildflowers"
	10:49pm javakid: cheers
	10:49pm Kat in Chicago: Oh yeah this one!
	10:50pm Handy Haversack: spodi is a friend of mine!
	10:50pm Vanessa bikes: I had a friend called Jody...
	10:50pm CC: Kinda Steely Dan ish???...:)
	10:50pm efd: "He liked to call me kid/I liked it when he did" is such a wonderful lyric, imho
	10:50pm Luisa24: @CC Definitely a Deadish jammy space vibe, probably why I like RCB
	10:51pm ChuckAmok: swing out sister-ish vibe here
	10:51pm Tommy in Neversink: CC...ya think
	10:51pm thesecoronalives: efd: second that opinion!
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, efd, top notch. Raw and understated.
	10:52pm CC: Yeah bsby...what you said!!!...:)
	10:52pm Jinx: love the Steely Dan vibe of jody
	10:53pm CC: Hahaha...:)
	10:53pm mariano: Handy: I am unaware of any such operation or activity...
	10:53pm spodiodi: Handy \m/
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Jody was a friend! That's some saxamaphone, right there. Thanks, efd...good show, mate.
	10:55pm CC: Well Mariano... just don't forget if you try to plant a bomb anywhere handy was right on top of it!!!...:)
	10:55pm Scott Williams: @efd, Jump into the Fire: Heather Trost, and who else?
	10:58pm efd: @Scott Chris Cornell! Played it near the end of my show a couple of weeks ago.
	10:59pm Handy Haversack: Chris Cornell! Oh. Er. As efd just said.
	10:59pm Scott Williams: Ohhhhhh right! He squeaked in under the "released in" caveat
	10:59pm javakid: EFD I have my short list of what I think is your short list. It's fun to play at home. Now when will The Worriers and Cold Beat come in....
	11:01pm ultradamno: Nice shades, ganser
	11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! This is a band I mentioned to you months ago, but couldn't remember the name. I mentioned them because they are great, but also because the vocals remind me of Kate's in some ways.
	11:02pm efd: @javakid Let's see how you do!
	11:02pm Handy Haversack: I remember it like it was mere hours ago, Mr. P!
	11:03pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, efd, Scott, and fellow Funktionaries! Just dropping in to say I’m enjoying this year-end overview as much as I’m enjoying this year ending.
	11:03pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...Ganser, that is. ganser.bandcamp.com...
	11:03pm efd: @Gaylord wow, high praise indeed!
	11:03pm ChuckAmok: ganser sounded like they coulda been opening up for polvo
	11:04pm Bianconeri: Interesting Times Gang stuff so good! And yes I love this Modern Nature record, too
	11:04pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...no, that was Robert Mitchum films. Mere. Hours. Ago.
	11:04pm richardbarone: @efd Omg Thank You for including "I Had A Dream" in your Best of 2020! :)
	11:05pm Mr. Pumpy: Gaylord...hey! Nice to see you drop in.
	11:05pm efd: My pleasure, Richard!
	11:05pm Mr. Pumpy: @Chuck, I hear you.
	11:07pm Gaylord Fields: Hiya, Mr. Pumpy!
	11:07pm ChuckAmok: i live for end-of-year retrospectives like this - it'll give me stuff to listen to for months
	11:07pm mariano: Hey, Mr. P! Rober Mitchum films, eff yeah.
	11:08pm Mr. Pumpy: This Dream Syndicate is so good, I hadn't heard it until now. At least not actively. Excellent!
	11:09pm efd: And this is the shortest song on the album!
	11:09pm efd: ... not that I'm hyper-focused on the time or anything ...
	11:09pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...yo! Yeah, we were talking about Night of the Hunter earlier. That's the good stuff. Noir with a twisted flavor of religion and lost children. What more can you ask for?
	11:10pm Mr. Pumpy: efd...ha! Can you squeeze them in? To think this band can deliver the goods like this at this point in their career. Amazing.
	11:10pm javakid: 11 more songs in 50 minutes, with your pop instincts EFD, nothing to worry about.
	11:10pm Scott Williams: a Steve Wynn triple tonight! (Evan, I played a bit of Staten Island during one of the dropouts). Hi Gaylord!
	11:11pm Gaylord Fields: efd, it’s a hoary old cliché that terrible times inspire great art, but I do think that might actually hold true for 2020. And heaven knows we needed it this year!
	11:11pm Handy Haversack: (I just hope there's time for the air horns!)
	11:12pm javakid: @handy, yep, that might, eh, blow it.
	11:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: The air horn won’t be the shortest track of this show.
	11:13pm Joe B: forgot to include Dream Syndicate in my list. I think it came out in March the week the lockdown started
	11:13pm Mr. Pumpy: White Hills! This may take some time...
	11:13pm CC: Great show Evan!!! we got to go eat something...:)
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: Angels' trumpets and devils' trombones. We are invited!
	11:16pm ChuckAmok: this is an entertaining show mr fudge davis :)
	11:18pm spodiodi: really slow hellos back, Mr. Pumpy and Hoboken Jack!
	11:22pm Handy Haversack: SPOXX!!
	11:23pm bbxtina: hahha this song makes me think of every suburban dad
	11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Trumps and tromps...and Sparks.
	11:23pm Aitch: Yay Sparks
	11:24pm Chop Scott: Ah, Sparks!
	11:25pm Joe R.: Loved The Explorers Club double release as well—their pointing me to Danny Hutton’s Roses and Rainbows was one of my favorites of the year
	11:25pm ultradamno: Is he really not going to work in the phrase "shower not a grower" Missed opportunity.
	11:26pm Handy Haversack: Yeah! This album is so good! And Duncan Reid seemed super nice.
	11:32pm bbxtina: loved that cover of the dB's wow so nostalgic
	11:33pm bbxtina: sounded alot like them though, am i missing something?
	11:34pm vertual: Holsapple Stamey - my go to sing along album of the year!
	11:34pm ChuckAmok: pancakes are good brunch!
	11:35pm Mr. Pumpy: "We will eat those pancakes, damnit!" Yes, we will.
	11:35pm Handy Haversack: Eyelids def. one of K8's top ten albums of the year. But missing that Pancake Brunch .. that was brutal. I had this weird couple of hours? days? when I was all like, "Oh, it's OK that the Tartan Day Parade was canceled! That means I can go see Eyelids at WFMU!" Because I am usually pretty stupid, you see.
	11:35pm Hoboken Jack: Not to be a stickler, but that was to be a waffles show, not pancakes.
	11:35pm neil quarantino: bbxtina, they’re 1/2 of the dB’s
	11:36pm spodiodi: \\//
	11:36pm Handy Haversack: OK, thank you, Jack! I thought it was waffles -- I was extra excited for that!
	11:37pm Chop Scott: Right you are Hoboken Jack--waffles!
	11:37pm Mr. Pumpy: It was crêpes!
	11:37pm efd: oh it WAS waffles!! whoops!
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: You get the hell out of here, Pumpy!
	11:38pm Hoboken Jack: I didn't want some Mandela Effect thing happening.
	11:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Upper Crust...one of the best live acts. It's been many years, but they killed.
	11:38pm Scott Williams: Thank you Jack, I too remembered waffles! Hiya Jack!
	11:38pm ChuckAmok: lol, can't believe I'm hearing Upper Crust-adjacent jams in 2020
	11:39pm Mr. Pumpy: Fine, I'll go eat my blintzes elsewhere.
	11:40pm Handy Haversack: Can I have a blintz?
	11:41pm efd: @ChukAmok and @Mr Pumpy I highly recommend the record Nat put out last year under the band name Freeloader - it's more of a hard rock/Crust vibe, and very good. (With Jackie Kickassis on drums to boot)
	11:41pm Mr. Pumpy: Oh...now you want something! Sure.
	11:41pm Hoboken Jack: Lithics, yessssssss!!!
	11:42pm Scott Williams: Evan, I bet my listeners today that we'd be hearing Lithics tonight. Man, I'm glad I stuck around!
	11:42pm Mr. Pumpy: This album rules.
	11:42pm Jason from Houston: ꒰◍ᐡᐤᐡ◍꒱ᐝ.∗✩⁺˚⑅
	11:43pm efd: @Scott you and me both!
	11:43pm Jason from Houston: There it is... Hahaha...
	11:44pm Hoboken Jack: Freedberg trying to screw up the Top 5 with that Record Number Three title.
	11:45pm prof.fuzz: Really dug that Lithics track. Bandcamp tab opened!
	11:45pm efd: oh yeah, maybe I should have put that at #3 🤔
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: efd...ya done right. Don't go doubting yourself now! Or evah! ;)
	11:48pm efd: @prof. fuzz It was just a matter of time!
	11:48pm Handy Haversack: Think of it as your Holy Grail moment, efd!
	11:52pm Handy Haversack: Ah, this was definitely on my list of efd's list! Worriers!
	11:52pm Stevel: So much great stuff this year!
	11:52pm Hoboken Jack: Right with ya on the Worriers album
	11:52pm Dan from Delco: good show
	11:52pm javakid: 1 out of 2 so far - this is a great album
	11:55pm R2: I already have 4 of the top 10.
	11:55pm Ignore Function: Yeah Lewsberg!
	11:56pm Joe B: not enough time for through the garden!
	11:56pm spodiodi: rogue air horn for #1
	11:56pm Roberto: Liz Berg?
	11:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks Evan. Great show, and great 2020 rundown. Have a great weekend!
	11:56pm Hoboken Jack: Roberto: ha!
	11:56pm mariano: Lewsberg! This has been their year. Well, maybe that's not the best way to put it since, you know, 2020. Thank you efd and Crew, happy New Year to you and everyone!
	11:57pm efd: @Joe B Correct!
	11:57pm prof.fuzz: Thanks EFD. Great choices all show long. Happy New Year everyone!
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Happy new year, Evan and Funk Fanatics!

	11:58pm efd: Thanks for hanging til the end, everyone! Have a safe and happy new year! And thanks as always to Scott, but especially tonight!
	11:59pm ChuckAmok: first time listening to the show live - was a blast - thanks efd and everyone on the chat :)
	11:59pm Handy Haversack: Gah! Keep it going, efd! Another top twenty? Bottom twenty? Anything! Great, great show. Thanks so much. You're the air in all of our horns. What a great part of a crappy year this show has been. We have had meetings, marches, all sorts of things try to claim Wednesday evenings over the course of this year, but every single damn week, we knew, let's get some efd in. It will make it all worthwhile. And it did! Happy New Year! And happy New Year to all the assembled Funksters!
	11:59pm Scott Williams: I love how blatantly they wear their Lou love. Thanks Evan, it's been edge-of-the-seat radio tonight! Happy new year everyone!
	11:59pm Joe B: this track is just as great. loved hearing it on scott's show today while I was barreling down rt 440, having just secured the final can of disinfectant spray off the barren shelves at my local CVS
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: So much about this is awesome. I can see why it is your numero uno. I now go spend monies.
	11:59pm P-90: A Thousand Thanks for another year of Wednesday nights @efd! You are an institution. Happy New Year!
	12:00am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Scott!
	12:00am KWilde: Happy New Year efd! Thanks for a great year of music in not a particularly great year
	12:00am Gaylord Fields: My pleasure, efd! Thanks, and here's to better days and just as great songs in 2021.
	12:00am mariano: Thank you Scott!
