WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from February 3, 2009

Listener comments!
	11:06pm Joe: Where was this song when I was 13?!
	11:07pm john: It's been nearly a year, but, yes, folks, it's the Triumphant Return of Rockin' Henry Gross!
	11:10pm Laurie: I love this ABBA song!
	11:11pm Charles: Me too Laurie!
	11:11pm Sybil: from Graham Parker to... Abba?
	11:12pm cheri: hiya evan--did you like the superbowl?? i only watched the half time show,, i think abba is the devil's music,=)
	11:14pm Jan Coztás.: The new Marked Men album is great. Maybe even better than Fix My Brain.
	11:17pm john: I'm sure it's just me, and I LIKE this Pains Of Etc record, but I can't help thinking "Finally, a decent C86 tribute band."
	11:18pm cheri: so efd did you do anything special besides the superbow this week??
	11:20pm efd: john - not that there's anything wrong with that! jan - haven't seen/heard the new Marked Men, but I'll keep an eye out for sure - I loved Fix My Brain. cheri - sure, I liked the super bowl fine. We'll have to agree to disagree about Abba. Sybil, Laurie, Charles, Joe - hi! OK, 7 minute song is about 2/3rds over, time to figure out what to play next.
	11:20pm Joe: As someone who -just- finally listened to C86, john, I am in complete agreement with you.
	11:23pm john: EFD--Exactly! I'd urge all new bands to be mandatorily issued a copy of The Subway Organisation comp CD. I'd bet someone in that group owns it.
	11:23pm Sybil: I loved Trent's comments yesterday about the superbowl, which I'm sure I can't recreate here. Basically, "I enjoyed watching those two sporting teams. There was a lot of stuff happening. Sometimes there isn't so much happening." I actually have the Pink Parker in pink vinyl. I am that way.
	11:24pm HotRod: Thanks for the tunes...
	11:24pm efd: ironically, my Pink Parker is a promo -- so it's not pink. Boo-ya! There was a guy at the party I was at who was saying, "Go, game!" Kind of how I felt.
	11:26pm cheri: evan if you have THE CAKE cd on hand could you play a tune,,,thanx efd
	11:26pm john: At about the three hour mark I was yelling at myself "Go, home!" What I'll never get about football is why they invariably wait until the fourth quarter to start playing.
	11:31pm Jessica: I'm not going out in that, either. FYI.
	11:31pm Jessica: [hyuck]
	11:35pm Pete: EFD Marked Men have a new record called "GHOSTS" on Dirtnap released a week ago
	11:45pm E.L.: I "lucked out" last week and wound up with a show day for my first class. It may happen again this week. Are teachers supposed to root for snow days?
	11:45pm Billy Jam: Farms in Berkeley? Abba on WMFU? Hells yeah......Hey EFD - good show as always - greetings from Cali where I am doing WFMU remote this Friday....with lots O guests....see UPCOMING on wfmu,org for details
	11:49pm Amanda: I just came home, turned the radio on before my coat was even off, and heard: "THE PARTY STARTS NOW!" This gladdened me a bit.
	11:50pm cheri: you can't play THE CAKE 2nite evan?
	11:50pm HotRod: Hey Amanda!
	11:52pm Fredrik: THIS SHOW IS SO AWESOME TONIGHT IT'S ROCKIN' M' FUGGIN TEETH OUT!!!
	11:52pm cheri: hiya wuzzzzzup hotrod!!!!!!
	11:53pm efd: sorry Cheri, no Cake tonight. Hi HotRod, hi Amanda! That was a good song to come home to. Now, get your mp3 recording machine ready for later...
	11:55pm efd: hey Billy, thanks for checking in from Cali! (that goes for you too, Jessica) and hi, E.L.!
	11:59pm cheri: evan i need your opinion--do think i have bad taste in music??
	12:00am C: EVERYONE has good taste in music!
	12:01am Amanda: Hi hi everybunny! HotRod, you have to come up and visit again soon! I am relieved to know the youth of America are in good hands with E.L. as their teacher. mp3 recording machine? Are we living in the future?
	12:11am E.L.: I was writing an email while I was listening and I thought you said "Me And My Arrow," EFD. My cat would love 16. Don't worry Amanda, I'll be fired in no time.
	12:14am cheri: yall have a wonderfull week,,,,g'nite,ohh efd please be kind when answering my question,,,thnx again=)=)=)
	12:16am Joe: This guy sounds like the guy from Cold War Kids, except I want to punch him less. Of course, I don't know what he looks like.
	12:18am Jessica: the what What WHAT, Billy Jam? I have a pile of creepy things to attend to, Friday, which should be wrapped up right about then-ish. Mmm, I smell antidote-to-creepy-things.
	12:18am Amanda: oh man....
	12:19am efd: E.L., I'd like to hear 16 covering "Me and My Arrow." Amanda, now it makes sense, right?
	12:21am Billy Jam: hey jessica - have been sending you invites to Friday's Oak-Town remote since last week......IF you think you can make it email me at billyjam at wfmu dot org for location info....And if U cant make it - no worries - will be back in Da Yay again real soon....HEY EFD thanks for allowing me to use your COMMENTS as an avenue of communicaition....more Graham Parker!!
	12:23am efd: Billy, I am all about communication avenues! Cheri - my opinion on your (or anyone's) musical taste is completely irrelevant.
	12:26am Amanda: Yes, it does! Thought you might be heading there but did not have the "audacity" to hope. I think any regular listener to this show must have quite good musical taste, but that is my own taste talking. So it's a circular argument.
	12:26am E.L.: Oh! I heard Monkey Power Trio on Liz's show. I knew that name sounded familiar.
	12:28am Joe: I know my taste in music is mediocre at best - my constantly listening to WFMU is me trying to make it better. It's like when you're trying to lose weight and you enter a triathalon that never ends.
	12:29am cheri: efd see you next week,,,
	12:30am Sybil: My taste in music is reputedly deplorable...
	12:32am E.L.: Joe, maybe start with a uniathlon or biathlon and work your way up?
	12:32am Joe: HELL-to-the-YEAH. ELEPHANT POWER - Ganesh is FRESH
	12:34am Joe: E.L. - I kinda did. I used to listen to FUV. -Burn-
	12:36am Joe: GANESH!
	12:37am Joe: Hmm I guess call-and-response doesn't work so good on the internet. Man I gotta stop being such a wierdo.
	12:39am efd: good effort, though, Joe!
	12:39am efd: on the call & response, i mean
	12:40am Joe: well... the weird takes effort, too.
	12:40am E.L.: Any chance of some Paul Stanley banter to go along with this? I think it's far, far better than their music. I wish he did spoken word performances.
	12:40am HotRod: Circular Power!
	12:42am Neil: Liked that MC Yogi so much I just bought it!
	12:44am Tom: That was 1976 Destroyer hmm I had to think about that one 2X cause the one I never got back then was Destroyer I skipped to "Rock'n'Roll" over ( hated !!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob Ezrin's production with a passion !!!)
	12:54am Jessica: Like the song says: aw, yeah! I was on the phone with a sales rep, ordering new phone svc., and had to walk back into the Do You Love Me [turned up to 11] room to get my purse, and almost got the poor girl fired for laughing too loud. c'mon, like her supervisor wouldn't have just belted it out along with the clearly-always-right customer.
	12:56am E.L.: Well it looks like school is on. I'll check in next week. Best to all! Thanks Evan!
	1:00am C: this has been one of my favorite EFD shows of all time! (but i've only been listening for like 2 years) you're really giving the may day mayhem a run for its money!
	1:01am efd: wow, thanks C! I appreciate that. goodnight E.L., good luck tomorrow! (or maybe I should be wishing that to the students)
	1:17am Joe: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show - perpetually teaching you how to not be stupid.
	7:22pm marie: great, fun show!
	8:55pm JeffreyPaul: Henry Put Plug me into something out all my fans love it .JeffreyPaul Bass player Rock Candy
	9:41pm JeffreyPaul: Henry Put Plug me into something out all my fans love it .JeffreyPaul Bass player Rock Candy

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!
Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)
It’s the 18th year of the Evan “Funk” Davies Show Holiday Music Funktacular, and this year — for the first time ever — it will air on actual Christmas Day!
