	12:15pm efd: HELLO Michele! And greetings to all commenteers and lurkeers! Gonna be tough to post today but I'm happy to see all of you.
	12:15pm tim from washington: EFD! EFD! EFD!
	12:16pm Listener Phillip (the bronx): Hey 😁 my favorite song by the neats. 666
	12:16pm Paulie B: I suspect I will be playing "got it/need it" for most of this show. (The Propeller Product 7" is one I've "got.")
	12:16pm tim from washington: I'm 15 minutes late and I already missed 6 songs!
	12:17pm efd: @Paulie B I almost drove off the road last week when you played an Everest The Hard Way song! And it wasn't even "Tightrope!"
	12:19pm karlward: Reporting for throwback duty, General "Funk" SIR!
	12:21pm B R M: one of the great regrets of my college experience, aside from not going to class enough and not caring about grades, was not volunteering for the college radio station WCBN in Ann Arbor. As a freshman with what I thought was good taste in music, I visited the station's table during the campus clubs/volunteer fair day for freshman, asked how I could get a show, and they suggested volunteering at the station for a year. As an entitled and naive 18 year old, a year of "helping" seemed insane and so I stupidly didn't just go and plant myself at the station and see it as a reasonable way to earn my place. So I just listened to the station and regretted not going in but couldn't bring myself to try again. Maybe I need to do penance and volunteer at WFMU! ha
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: I had a friend with a show on WCBN, B R M. A year of volunteering and then the 3-6 AM shift seemed typical!
	12:24pm Krys O.: Just pledged, efd, in honor of all the times I'd call your show and others on WNYU with requests. :)
	12:25pm tim from washington: The Damned gone Stranglers is pretty good!
	12:25pm Toothgrinder Tom: My college radio station only had enough signal strength to be heard in a few of the larger dorms, if you can believe it … Meanwhile we had the WBUR station on our very campus!
	12:25pm efd: Thank you Krys!!
	12:26pm TDK60: Hi EFD. \| Kirk has seen space.
	12:26pm Krys O.: @BRM: I was a student at Upsala College and never knew they had a radio station until about 2-3 weeks into my first semester as a freshman when I met a student in the cafeteria who matriculated just to do a show on WFMU. I started off doing work/study in the record library, ironically, getting paid by the college.
	12:27pm Will the Sound Guy: gotta drive to another site, I'll still be listening! Have fun all
	12:29pm efd: a reminder that WFMU is in the midst of our October HELLRAISER fundraiser! Please help us get through the bleak winter months with a pledge, and enjoy the glory of an airhorn icon next to your name when you comment on one of my playlists! Hit the "pledge now" button at the top right of the page, or use this link: pledge.wfmu.org...
	12:29pm Krys O.: I worked with Lenny Aaron from Polyrock back in the mid-80s. We weren't in the same department, but I recognized who he was. This was at one of Al Goldstein's, um, publications.
	12:29pm Jack McGuire: Carackin' Passions track.
	12:29pm efd: Many thanks to everyone who's already pledged, and expecially to our boombox-sporting swag for lifers, who are helping us all year long!
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Yay, the Passions! I hope Barbara in PA is listening!
	12:30pm TDK60: DJ EFD, I still listen to WNYU sometimes, mostly for "new music" stuff.
	12:30pm iiibeat: Goethe's toe . . Spinoza dead out in the snow. Rudolf's cough . . Edgar Cayce at the bat. Salt, fat, carbohydrates.
	12:31pm B R M: @Handy yes, was typical and rightfully so... I was clearly a little full of myself but also insecure about it... alas.
	12:31pm Phil: EFD- as a fellow NYU-er 1982-86 and NAS fan I think I remember you playing "Drive Drive" by Brian Brain. Do I have the artist and song right?
	12:31pm Hoboken Jack: Hi EFD, Krys, Handy, senior citizen in dog years Bagpipe, Michele, Paul, all! Controversial suggestion but maybe a lighter blue playlist background for the new daytime edition?
	12:31pm tim from washington: I didn't get involved in my college radio station, WIDR, until 4 years after I graduated - hahaha. That's a typical trajectory in my life - haha. I was friendly with the program director who told me I could easily get a show if I showed up, followed FCC guidelines and could pronounce Autechre like I knew what I was talking about.
	12:32pm Andrew Hollywood: hi everyone 🍒
	12:32pm B R M: @Krys O. Right place, right time, right person. Love it!
	12:32pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Was Killer Pussy a New Wave Power Pop group? They really did have a great guitar….
	12:33pm Laura in Peekskill: @Phil, I'm 100% sure you are right, even though I'm not EFD.
	12:33pm Kat in Chicago: This show is invigorating!
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	12:34pm Jack McGuire: This 4 be 2 shares a sound alike intro with Philly's own Bunnydrums track Little Room. Period correct too.
	12:34pm Hoboken Jack: This is the New New Afternoon Show.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: "Skin Deep" was 1981.
	12:35pm TDK60: I used to keep the college radio station in my former small city at a sort of arm's length. Some of it was okay. But it was too formatted, and almost farm league for commercial rock radio.
	12:35pm tim from washington: Oh no! Someone needs to liberate that Sammy Hagar from efd!
	12:36pm egould310: Thanks for the throwback show, efd. Sounding real good.
	12:37pm (Murakami Whywolf))): There's an Evan Davies who's a chef of good reputation in L.A.; is our host that person?
	12:37pm myron feld: efd, where/what is the link for the Tim Sommer article?
	12:37pm TDK60: Phil Lynott! Great album this is on.
	12:38pm Laura in Peekskill: efd, I fucking love your throwback shows. Thanks for bringing me back.
	12:38pm B R M: Tim Sommer is a mensch
	12:39pm efd: ok, let's not go overboard B R M! :D
	12:39pm myron feld: @efd, please disregard, I see it over there <----
	12:39pm karlward: All this artificial intelligence we have and still no Phil Lynott
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: myron feld: brooklynbugle.com...
	12:39pm Hoboken Jack: "Welcome to the EFD Restaurant! For appetizers, we'll be starting with the ceviche."
	12:39pm Midge Ure's Moustache: Lurking.
	12:40pm medson: Hola efd and everyone, sounding great
	12:41pm Carmichael: This sounds more like Queen than Phil.
	12:41pm morphe': Phil Lynott Dublin Sculpture: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/phil-lynott-statue
	12:42pm TDK60: morphe': Where are you? Dublin?
	12:42pm Phil: Thanks Laura! I just have trouble finding it!
	12:42pm Miss Georgia Peach: Yo Ho Ho!
	12:42pm efd: @Phil - correct about the artist, very close on the title - stay tuned!
	12:43pm Hoboken Jack: The Tourists sound like Tom Petty.
	12:44pm John in Phoenixville: @ Hoboken Jack: I was thinking the same thing!
	12:44pm efd: The Tourists are a pre-Eurythmics Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart!
	12:45pm tim from washington: I've got my fingers crossed for some Twilley. I hope it's not too chilly in JC for some Twilley!
	12:46pm joe mulligan: loving this era EFD, it's just a few years before my time so it's like listening to my cool brother's show
	12:46pm Krys O.: Yeehaw! Saw Brian Brain at The Jetty in Bloomfield. So much fun.
	12:47pm Kramrellim: Anybody remember seeing Brian Brain at Hitsville? Opening act: REM
	12:47pm Phil: WOW! Thanks EFD!!! No wonder I couldn't find it! My addled brain misremembered a Brian Brain song!
	12:48pm Susan C.: Brian Brain! I’m back in college and loving it! Will you play “Welcome to the Monkey House”?
	12:49pm morphe': TDK - I wrote yesterday - to Madrid tonight ... need a new us passport (could not get an appointment in NYC) so I'll get it in Madrid. I can't get back in without it so I'll be away longer than usual.. Plan to go hiking in the Pyrenees (Spain side) but was thinking of Ireland too. It depends on the restrictions. I have not been back for 1&1/2 years.... Tofu fest and a fire in GO in Nov !!!!
	12:49pm Krys O.: Timmy Sommer yelling during his Noise, the Show is so unlike who he became.
	12:49pm John in Phoenixville: @ EFD: I was aware of The Tourists but never heard that track! And it just occurred to me that Dave Stewart went on to produce … Tom Petty.
	12:49pm Laurie H: wow, I used to listen to the new afternoon show! totally changed my life, so much great music exposure.
	12:50pm Michael from the Left Coast: I keep forgetting you're on at this hour!

	12:52pm Jessie: Totally digging the show today (as always)!
	12:53pm Bryant in TO: Is it just me or does it sound like Vincent Price is on backing vocals?
	12:53pm egould310: Necto klacto veratu!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Hey, prof.fuzz. Pretty sure there are several chapters on power pop in the Zhuangzi. So you could say it's educational!
	12:57pm myron feld: Oh man -- Hepnobeat!!! I heard this first on the NAS and ran right over to Bleecker Bob's to buy it -- SO great!
	12:57pm Alvy Singer: Oingo Boingo comes to mind with this track.
	12:58pm prof.fuzz: Hey Handy! Yeah, we covered Power Pop Zhuangzi a couple of weeks ago. Today is the post-punk post-Qin early Han dynasty.
	12:58pm Stevel: Bravo to the station name check!
	12:58pm Hoboken Jack: And the Hepnotics sound like Oingo Boingo.
	12:59pm Hoboken Jack: Ooh Alvy ya beat me!
	1:00pm Alvy Singer: @Hoboken Jack..We will split it 50/50.
	1:00pm Joel: EFD.. Don't worry about being a senior citizen. The vibe is chill and the music rocks.. It won't be your grandparents senior citizenship - trust me....
	1:00pm efd: weirdly enough I never liked Oingo Boingo even though I love that Dynamic Hepnotics song
	1:00pm efd: @Stevel that's how we did it back in the day!
	1:01pm Mister Dobalina: Time to hit up the club , segment part of the show.

	1:04pm βrian: WCBN. Ayeh.
	1:05pm egould310: Funky new wave.
	1:05pm efd: @morphe' not sure what sample you're referring to?
	1:08pm B R M: @efd re: Tim S. I sing in an early R.E.M. covers project and we did a virtual gig and donated all proceeds to Save Our Stages and the Equal Justice Initiative and Tim reached out to Bertis Downs at R.E.M. HQ and they promoted our gig on R.E.M.'s social media (airhorn) and we raised a ton of money and that was all down to Tim, so he'll always be a mensch to me. ;)
	1:10pm karlward: efd: hope you play some ZE, I'm curious what from that label got your attention back then
	1:10pm Michael from the Left Coast: Hey are there phone people for pledges this year? I only see online and the online was a bit confusing for me when I tried it the other day

	1:13pm Asheville Jon: more mic breaks!
	1:13pm Laurie H: you sound exactly the same!!
	1:13pm Too Obtuse: New Afternon Show was a life changer for me - thanks EFD!!
	1:13pm tadpoles: Believe it or not Mr Evan.....I still have tapes of the early '80's NYU radio "New Afternoon Show" ...with your announcing on it.....they still play great and are time capsules! Nice to keep hearing you.
	1:14pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Holy cow EFD fantastic!!!! Thanks
	1:14pm karlward: SMITHEREENS

	1:16pm Krys O.: @Laurie H: I think I won a dance contest with my friend Ward.
	1:16pm Alvy Singer: Wow, Shrapnel was mentioned. That was Dave Wyndorf's old power pop band.
	1:16pm ChrisB.: My go-to answer to pretty much anything: “Is Vic There?”
	1:17pm Stevel: When I get older and lose track of my memories, I'm going to believe that I listened to MNYU's New Afternoon Show.
	1:17pm tadpoles: PS...Correction on the playlist "4 X 2"'s is "One of the Lads"
	1:17pm rich the greeb: Well I’m be dammed dammed dammed, this isn’t the dammed?
	1:18pm Tinley Park Randy: Vics not here man.
	1:18pm Roberto: Vic may be there, but Dave's not here. But Davies is.
	1:18pm egould310: Damn. Some pretty good shows back then. I was only 11 though, so I wouldn’t have been able to go. Plus I was 600 miles away in rural Indiana.
	1:18pm ChrisB.: Comes in handy when visiting Vic’s in Bradley Beach.
	1:18pm John in Jersey: Used to love the New Afternoon Show
	1:19pm rich the greeb: @tadpoles I just picked up that 12” this past weekend
	1:19pm efd: @tadpoles Nope, it's "All Of The Lads" on the record. "One Of The Lads" is a different song.
	1:20pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: EFD and Hugh Fink the best
	1:20pm Bloviating Ignoramus: Does NYU still share the 89.1 frequency with FDU?
	1:21pm Joey Joe Joe: Your age is no excuse egould. Your folks or a responsible adult should have driven you to see the Smithereens and score some coke at Max’s.
	1:21pm tadpoles: Apologies Evan...I have the 12" somewhere..Johnny's brother. All great stuff on your show!
	1:21pm rich the greeb: li love the zydeco vibe in this blasters song
	1:21pm Joe non Papa: Joe B recently did an all Hey Joe special on Shaking Street. I have an old cassette I made in the 80s when somebody did the same on WNYU. (I got 21 songs from it.) Maybe the Marshmallow Dimension show?
	1:24pm Jack McGuire: This is not the Marty Thau vers.
	1:25pm Stevel: Roman Gods is one of my all-time favorite albums.
	1:25pm B R M: So many comments, so few pumpkins!! Get in there with a pledge!
	1:25pm myron feld: Fleshtones "ShadowLine" is also on the 2x5 VA album on Red Star -- pull that one out of the stacks, efd! Lots of New Wave faves on it.
	1:26pm Handy Haversack: And if you flex that pledge muscle on the efd dance floor, you even get an AIR HORN of your very own. Look at mine! I blow! ^^^^^^^^^^
	1:27pm Krys O.: w00t!
	1:27pm efd: B R M makes an excellent point! Let's see that pledge-ometer move a little more to the right! pledge.wfmu.org...
	1:28pm Carmichael: Wow, away for a quick meeting and you play Department S! I'm head to another meeting at 11 (2 your time), so don't play the Sniveling Shits during my absence. 😎
	1:28pm kwhitehead: My friend's step-dad broke this Robyn Hitchcock record in half after catching us smoking weed in the basement, circa 1982.
	1:29pm Stevel: kwhitehead: A traumatic yet awesome story!
	1:30pm Handy Haversack: Dee Pop a Greenpointer, too. RIP.
	1:30pm xtrakrispy: Rock In Peace Dee Pop
	1:31pm Laurie H: RIP Dee Pop
	1:31pm tadpoles: So sad to hear. Used to mix them in with Delta 5 at the time. Oi...time!
	1:33pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: That is so sad RIP Dee Pop
	1:34pm Jeremy: One less nice guy, and still too many creeps...
	1:35pm Figgsrock: I've been busy writing stuff for work during the show, but I couldn't let it go by without commenting that this is one of my favorite traditions of the WFMU year.
	1:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: is th'128 mp3 stream DOA or just me? .......................am i .... is this the end?
	1:36pm karlward: And you can't be soulful if you don't have the "Funk," oh look, it's right there in the middle of your name
	1:38pm Carmichael: EFD, were you Evan "Funk" Davies back in the NYU days, or did you have a DJ name? Or were you just a guy named Evan?
	1:39pm Roberto: If the archival clip he played earlier is any indication, he's always had Funk in his name.
	1:39pm Frank Zaatar: Evan, you were the voice of my grad-school years at NYU (along with the lamented Phil Schaap and Vin Scelsa). Did you record that promo where the guy said "I wanna hear the new Men without Hats?"
	1:41pm prof.fuzz: Gotta go teach again. Stay funky! Stay well!
	1:41pm Gary: NAS was my go to for many years. Won lots of tickets and found great music.
	1:42pm tim from washington: Raybeats had a no-wave connection, correct?
	1:44pm Jack McGuire: Manicured Noise. El fantastico.
	1:45pm Mike Sin: EFD - Can’t comment too much as I’m out and about, but I’m listening in 91.9 today. Didn’t the New Afternoon Show also feature spots that stated “some of the records you’re hearing have been provided by <insert nyc record store>” ? Those spots were great services to those stores at the time! They got me there!
	1:45pm Rich Z.: Hurrah for Manicured Noise!
	1:47pm Juli: All of these songs are timelessssssssss.
	1:50pm tim from washington: There's a book about 415 records coming out on Hozac soon.
	1:51pm Roberto: The fist Mayhem program I heard circa '07 blew me away. All these years later, they continue to kick arse!
	1:52pm Michael from the Left Coast: Mike Sin, it was 99 Records and then a store in Queens I think before that
	1:52pm DonJuanTijuana: I believe Kevin Patrick was the front man of New Math...later became an A&R guy for some label
	1:53pm bobobobob frm Plasticland: Plasticland ...the band i was in at the time...opened for the Bush Tetras ..in Chicago Misfits ...by loyola univ
	1:54pm tim from washington: Nice! One of my favorite Sly songs.
	1:54pm efd: @Michael and Mike Sin - Metro Records in Little Neck, Queens
	1:55pm rich the greeb: @ Tim guitarist from the contortions in the raybeats i believe
	1:57pm tim from washington: Thanks, Rich! @bob/plasticland - did you cross paths with Die Kreuzen? They're my favorite Milwaukee band.
	2:00pm Mistr Rey: Great show, listening in Miami 🌴
	2:00pm Jack McGuire: Magazine's The Correct Use of Soap is is one of the more evocative slabs of this marvy time period. Chills.
	2:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and post-funks posting comments.
	2:01pm Jack McGuire: Rocky Rhythm!
	2:01pm bobobob dublon: tim of course. i know brammer and Dan kubinski ..seen him last time i was. in Milwaukee..nice guys...i guess Eric ..lives in Amsterdam now..
	2:02pm Krys O.: Now I'm trying to recall the theme played during WNYU's concert listing. Was it a Monochrome Set song?
	2:02pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, EFD & all!
	2:02pm Jack McGuire: I'm assuming EFD is using the patented Snatzotex record cleaning cloth today.
	2:05pm Asheville Jon: anxiously awaiting today's SMAH!!!
	2:05pm efd: @Asheville Jon you're gonna have a long wait
	2:08pm Asheville Jon: i'm here till 3
	2:09pm Asheville Jon: maybe 3:01
	2:09pm efd: like i said...

	2:13pm judy from croton: Loving the show, Evan fed
	2:14pm artbrau: This music is from "my time." I thought I knew a thing or two about the era. efd is showing me I don't know shit. Love it!
	2:16pm Gland Dialer: That Delmontes song--I thought was a cover of "Liar Liar" by the Castaways for a moment
	2:16pm BillD: Great show! Your shows from back then made me buy so many records which I still have today and hearing today!
	2:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: More Peter Holsapple and The dB's on a recent Michael Shelley show - www.wfmu.org...
	2:16pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: EFD, your show is a real treat. If weather conditions were right and I held my radio just so I could catch the New Afternoon Show in NJ in the late 80s.
	2:17pm Asheville Jon: but Handy, an efd show without the SMAH is like...well, it's like carrot cake without cream cheese frosting, like steamed lobster without a vat of melted butter, etc.
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: You hear that?! efd don't need no stinkin' rules! We're playing the Stranglers! Listen within, Asheville John. You will hear the SMAH. It has never stopped sounding for you -- it's always 9:42 for the SMAH.
	2:19pm Asheville Jon: heh
	2:19pm Kay: Is this a different Duchess than on the album The Raven?
	2:20pm efd: @Kay not sure offhand!
	2:21pm Handy Haversack: Well, good to hear another Spizzenergi song, knowing as we do where Captain Kirk is. And has been. And with whom.
	2:22pm Stevel: The vocal athletics in the bridge on WKK? are seared into my mind.

	2:29pm chris_in_space: Love the old mic check! I'm certain I didn't sound as confident in 1981. That's why you're the pro, @efd!
	2:29pm 👨: what happened to dwayne? schedule- wise
	2:29pm Jack McGuire: "Atmosphere and Presentation."

	2:52pm Iron Wombat: This set is like being in High School again
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: I know! What Hopey said! I guess it was too much to hope that reaching so hard into the past would create a time loop of sonic awesomeness and the show could go on forever. But still: a disappointment. Thanks, efd! Stay funky, funksters! And let those air horns sound!
	2:55pm brycepunk1: Today's set absolutely killed! Thank you!
	2:55pm tempusfugitive: This one sounds exactly like the arcade game "Twin Cobra"
	2:56pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great memories EFD. Fantastic show
	2:56pm efd: thanks everyone! Keep pledging! pledge.wfmu.org...
	2:56pm rptblk: Rushed home after high school for New Afternoon Show every weekday in the early 80's. Probably one of the main things that got me through my teen years. Today's playlist is a perfect throwback to a (new) afternoon (show) back then - still the best era for music for me - glad to see The Gas make an appearance (they should get more love). Thanks for all the amazing DJ'ing over the years, EFD.
	2:56pm Lixiviated Life: This was fun. Thanks Evan

October 13, 2021: Annual Punk/Post-punk/Power Pop/New Wave (W)NYU Throwback Show! part of our HELLRAISER FUNDRAISER!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

It's my second show of this year's WFMU's HELLRAISER fundraiser, and as I teeter on the brink of senior citizenship I once again try to re-live my college radio glory days by playing some of the great records that came out in the late '70s and early '80s when I was on the air at that New York university across the river.

Today you'll hear a mix of songs I didn’t know would become classics alongside flashes in the pan that faded away. and might never have been heard again until now, all presented in a Top 40 style just like I used to do on WNYU's New Afternoon Show^* a long long time ago. You'll hear some of your old favorites and some others that'll become new faves instantly!

And while you're listening please take a moment to show your appreciation for WFMU (and my show) by making a pledge! If you've already pledged, THANK YOU! Your support is greatly appreciated, especially if you're a SWAG FOR LIFE pledger.

Stay tuned for more special shows this month, and of course please take a moment to [airhorn sound] follow me on Twitter and/or Instagram, and/or you can Like The Evan "Funk" Davies Show on Facebook Thank you!

	12:15pm efd: HELLO Michele! And greetings to all commenteers and lurkeers! Gonna be tough to post today but I'm happy to see all of you.
	12:15pm tim from washington: EFD! EFD! EFD!
	12:16pm Listener Phillip (the bronx): Hey 😁 my favorite song by the neats. 666
	12:16pm Paulie B: I suspect I will be playing "got it/need it" for most of this show. (The Propeller Product 7" is one I've "got.")
	12:16pm tim from washington: I'm 15 minutes late and I already missed 6 songs!
	12:17pm efd: @Paulie B I almost drove off the road last week when you played an Everest The Hard Way song! And it wasn't even "Tightrope!"
	12:19pm karlward: Reporting for throwback duty, General "Funk" SIR!
	12:21pm B R M: one of the great regrets of my college experience, aside from not going to class enough and not caring about grades, was not volunteering for the college radio station WCBN in Ann Arbor. As a freshman with what I thought was good taste in music, I visited the station's table during the campus clubs/volunteer fair day for freshman, asked how I could get a show, and they suggested volunteering at the station for a year. As an entitled and naive 18 year old, a year of "helping" seemed insane and so I stupidly didn't just go and plant myself at the station and see it as a reasonable way to earn my place. So I just listened to the station and regretted not going in but couldn't bring myself to try again. Maybe I need to do penance and volunteer at WFMU! ha
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: I had a friend with a show on WCBN, B R M. A year of volunteering and then the 3-6 AM shift seemed typical!
	12:24pm Krys O.: Just pledged, efd, in honor of all the times I'd call your show and others on WNYU with requests. :)
	12:25pm tim from washington: The Damned gone Stranglers is pretty good!
	12:25pm Toothgrinder Tom: My college radio station only had enough signal strength to be heard in a few of the larger dorms, if you can believe it … Meanwhile we had the WBUR station on our very campus!
	12:25pm efd: Thank you Krys!!
	12:26pm TDK60: Hi EFD. \| Kirk has seen space.
	12:26pm Krys O.: @BRM: I was a student at Upsala College and never knew they had a radio station until about 2-3 weeks into my first semester as a freshman when I met a student in the cafeteria who matriculated just to do a show on WFMU. I started off doing work/study in the record library, ironically, getting paid by the college.
	12:27pm Will the Sound Guy: gotta drive to another site, I'll still be listening! Have fun all
	12:29pm efd: a reminder that WFMU is in the midst of our October HELLRAISER fundraiser! Please help us get through the bleak winter months with a pledge, and enjoy the glory of an airhorn icon next to your name when you comment on one of my playlists! Hit the "pledge now" button at the top right of the page, or use this link: pledge.wfmu.org...
	12:29pm Krys O.: I worked with Lenny Aaron from Polyrock back in the mid-80s. We weren't in the same department, but I recognized who he was. This was at one of Al Goldstein's, um, publications.
	12:29pm Jack McGuire: Carackin' Passions track.
	12:29pm efd: Many thanks to everyone who's already pledged, and expecially to our boombox-sporting swag for lifers, who are helping us all year long!
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Yay, the Passions! I hope Barbara in PA is listening!
	12:30pm TDK60: DJ EFD, I still listen to WNYU sometimes, mostly for "new music" stuff.
	12:30pm iiibeat: Goethe's toe . . Spinoza dead out in the snow. Rudolf's cough . . Edgar Cayce at the bat. Salt, fat, carbohydrates.
	12:31pm B R M: @Handy yes, was typical and rightfully so... I was clearly a little full of myself but also insecure about it... alas.
	12:31pm Phil: EFD- as a fellow NYU-er 1982-86 and NAS fan I think I remember you playing "Drive Drive" by Brian Brain. Do I have the artist and song right?
	12:31pm Hoboken Jack: Hi EFD, Krys, Handy, senior citizen in dog years Bagpipe, Michele, Paul, all! Controversial suggestion but maybe a lighter blue playlist background for the new daytime edition?
	12:31pm tim from washington: I didn't get involved in my college radio station, WIDR, until 4 years after I graduated - hahaha. That's a typical trajectory in my life - haha. I was friendly with the program director who told me I could easily get a show if I showed up, followed FCC guidelines and could pronounce Autechre like I knew what I was talking about.
	12:32pm Andrew Hollywood: hi everyone 🍒
	12:32pm B R M: @Krys O. Right place, right time, right person. Love it!
	12:32pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Was Killer Pussy a New Wave Power Pop group? They really did have a great guitar….
	12:33pm Laura in Peekskill: @Phil, I'm 100% sure you are right, even though I'm not EFD.
	12:33pm Kat in Chicago: This show is invigorating!
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	12:34pm Jack McGuire: This 4 be 2 shares a sound alike intro with Philly's own Bunnydrums track Little Room. Period correct too.
	12:34pm Hoboken Jack: This is the New New Afternoon Show.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: "Skin Deep" was 1981.
	12:35pm TDK60: I used to keep the college radio station in my former small city at a sort of arm's length. Some of it was okay. But it was too formatted, and almost farm league for commercial rock radio.
	12:35pm tim from washington: Oh no! Someone needs to liberate that Sammy Hagar from efd!
	12:36pm egould310: Thanks for the throwback show, efd. Sounding real good.
	12:37pm (Murakami Whywolf))): There's an Evan Davies who's a chef of good reputation in L.A.; is our host that person?
	12:37pm myron feld: efd, where/what is the link for the Tim Sommer article?
	12:37pm TDK60: Phil Lynott! Great album this is on.
	12:38pm Laura in Peekskill: efd, I fucking love your throwback shows. Thanks for bringing me back.
	12:38pm B R M: Tim Sommer is a mensch
	12:39pm efd: ok, let's not go overboard B R M! :D
	12:39pm myron feld: @efd, please disregard, I see it over there <----
	12:39pm karlward: All this artificial intelligence we have and still no Phil Lynott
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: myron feld: brooklynbugle.com...
	12:39pm Hoboken Jack: "Welcome to the EFD Restaurant! For appetizers, we'll be starting with the ceviche."
	12:39pm Midge Ure's Moustache: Lurking.
	12:40pm medson: Hola efd and everyone, sounding great
	12:41pm Carmichael: This sounds more like Queen than Phil.
	12:41pm morphe': Phil Lynott Dublin Sculpture: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/phil-lynott-statue
	12:42pm TDK60: morphe': Where are you? Dublin?
	12:42pm Phil: Thanks Laura! I just have trouble finding it!
	12:42pm Miss Georgia Peach: Yo Ho Ho!
	12:42pm efd: @Phil - correct about the artist, very close on the title - stay tuned!
	12:43pm Hoboken Jack: The Tourists sound like Tom Petty.
	12:44pm John in Phoenixville: @ Hoboken Jack: I was thinking the same thing!
	12:44pm efd: The Tourists are a pre-Eurythmics Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart!
	12:45pm tim from washington: I've got my fingers crossed for some Twilley. I hope it's not too chilly in JC for some Twilley!
	12:46pm joe mulligan: loving this era EFD, it's just a few years before my time so it's like listening to my cool brother's show
	12:46pm Krys O.: Yeehaw! Saw Brian Brain at The Jetty in Bloomfield. So much fun.
	12:47pm Kramrellim: Anybody remember seeing Brian Brain at Hitsville? Opening act: REM
	12:47pm Phil: WOW! Thanks EFD!!! No wonder I couldn't find it! My addled brain misremembered a Brian Brain song!
	12:48pm Susan C.: Brian Brain! I’m back in college and loving it! Will you play “Welcome to the Monkey House”?
	12:49pm morphe': TDK - I wrote yesterday - to Madrid tonight ... need a new us passport (could not get an appointment in NYC) so I'll get it in Madrid. I can't get back in without it so I'll be away longer than usual.. Plan to go hiking in the Pyrenees (Spain side) but was thinking of Ireland too. It depends on the restrictions. I have not been back for 1&1/2 years.... Tofu fest and a fire in GO in Nov !!!!
	12:49pm Krys O.: Timmy Sommer yelling during his Noise, the Show is so unlike who he became.
	12:49pm John in Phoenixville: @ EFD: I was aware of The Tourists but never heard that track! And it just occurred to me that Dave Stewart went on to produce … Tom Petty.
	12:49pm Laurie H: wow, I used to listen to the new afternoon show! totally changed my life, so much great music exposure.

	12:53pm egould310: Necto klacto veratu!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Hey, prof.fuzz. Pretty sure there are several chapters on power pop in the Zhuangzi. So you could say it's educational!
	12:57pm myron feld: Oh man -- Hepnobeat!!! I heard this first on the NAS and ran right over to Bleecker Bob's to buy it -- SO great!
	12:57pm Alvy Singer: Oingo Boingo comes to mind with this track.
	12:58pm prof.fuzz: Hey Handy! Yeah, we covered Power Pop Zhuangzi a couple of weeks ago. Today is the post-punk post-Qin early Han dynasty.
	12:58pm Stevel: Bravo to the station name check!
	12:58pm Hoboken Jack: And the Hepnotics sound like Oingo Boingo.
	12:59pm Hoboken Jack: Ooh Alvy ya beat me!

	1:05pm efd: @morphe' not sure what sample you're referring to?
	1:08pm B R M: @efd re: Tim S. I sing in an early R.E.M. covers project and we did a virtual gig and donated all proceeds to Save Our Stages and the Equal Justice Initiative and Tim reached out to Bertis Downs at R.E.M. HQ and they promoted our gig on R.E.M.'s social media (airhorn) and we raised a ton of money and that was all down to Tim, so he'll always be a mensch to me. ;)
	1:10pm karlward: efd: hope you play some ZE, I'm curious what from that label got your attention back then
	1:10pm Michael from the Left Coast: Hey are there phone people for pledges this year? I only see online and the online was a bit confusing for me when I tried it the other day

	1:16pm ChrisB.: My go-to answer to pretty much anything: “Is Vic There?”
	1:17pm Stevel: When I get older and lose track of my memories, I'm going to believe that I listened to MNYU's New Afternoon Show.
	1:17pm tadpoles: PS...Correction on the playlist "4 X 2"'s is "One of the Lads"
	1:17pm rich the greeb: Well I’m be dammed dammed dammed, this isn’t the dammed?

	1:18pm Roberto: Vic may be there, but Dave's not here. But Davies is.
	1:18pm egould310: Damn. Some pretty good shows back then. I was only 11 though, so I wouldn’t have been able to go. Plus I was 600 miles away in rural Indiana.
	1:18pm ChrisB.: Comes in handy when visiting Vic’s in Bradley Beach.
	1:18pm John in Jersey: Used to love the New Afternoon Show
	1:19pm rich the greeb: @tadpoles I just picked up that 12” this past weekend
	1:19pm efd: @tadpoles Nope, it's "All Of The Lads" on the record. "One Of The Lads" is a different song.
	1:20pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: EFD and Hugh Fink the best
	1:20pm Bloviating Ignoramus: Does NYU still share the 89.1 frequency with FDU?
	1:21pm Joey Joe Joe: Your age is no excuse egould. Your folks or a responsible adult should have driven you to see the Smithereens and score some coke at Max’s.
	1:21pm tadpoles: Apologies Evan...I have the 12" somewhere..Johnny's brother. All great stuff on your show!
	1:21pm rich the greeb: li love the zydeco vibe in this blasters song
	1:21pm Joe non Papa: Joe B recently did an all Hey Joe special on Shaking Street. I have an old cassette I made in the 80s when somebody did the same on WNYU. (I got 21 songs from it.) Maybe the Marshmallow Dimension show?
	1:24pm Jack McGuire: This is not the Marty Thau vers.
	1:25pm Stevel: Roman Gods is one of my all-time favorite albums.
	1:25pm B R M: So many comments, so few pumpkins!! Get in there with a pledge!
	1:25pm myron feld: Fleshtones "ShadowLine" is also on the 2x5 VA album on Red Star -- pull that one out of the stacks, efd! Lots of New Wave faves on it.
	1:26pm Handy Haversack: And if you flex that pledge muscle on the efd dance floor, you even get an AIR HORN of your very own. Look at mine! I blow! ^^^^^^^^^^
	1:27pm Krys O.: w00t!
	1:27pm efd: B R M makes an excellent point! Let's see that pledge-ometer move a little more to the right! pledge.wfmu.org...

	1:36pm karlward: And you can't be soulful if you don't have the "Funk," oh look, it's right there in the middle of your name
	1:38pm Carmichael: EFD, were you Evan "Funk" Davies back in the NYU days, or did you have a DJ name? Or were you just a guy named Evan?
	1:39pm Roberto: If the archival clip he played earlier is any indication, he's always had Funk in his name.
	1:39pm Frank Zaatar: Evan, you were the voice of my grad-school years at NYU (along with the lamented Phil Schaap and Vin Scelsa). Did you record that promo where the guy said "I wanna hear the new Men without Hats?"
	1:41pm prof.fuzz: Gotta go teach again. Stay funky! Stay well!
	1:41pm Gary: NAS was my go to for many years. Won lots of tickets and found great music.

	1:44pm Jack McGuire: Manicured Noise. El fantastico.
	1:45pm Mike Sin: EFD - Can’t comment too much as I’m out and about, but I’m listening in 91.9 today. Didn’t the New Afternoon Show also feature spots that stated “some of the records you’re hearing have been provided by <insert nyc record store>” ? Those spots were great services to those stores at the time! They got me there!
	1:45pm Rich Z.: Hurrah for Manicured Noise!
	1:47pm Juli: All of these songs are timelessssssssss.
	1:50pm tim from washington: There's a book about 415 records coming out on Hozac soon.
	1:51pm Roberto: The fist Mayhem program I heard circa '07 blew me away. All these years later, they continue to kick arse!
	1:52pm Michael from the Left Coast: Mike Sin, it was 99 Records and then a store in Queens I think before that
	1:52pm DonJuanTijuana: I believe Kevin Patrick was the front man of New Math...later became an A&R guy for some label

	1:55pm rich the greeb: @ Tim guitarist from the contortions in the raybeats i believe
	1:57pm tim from washington: Thanks, Rich! @bob/plasticland - did you cross paths with Die Kreuzen? They're my favorite Milwaukee band.
	2:00pm Mistr Rey: Great show, listening in Miami 🌴
	2:00pm Jack McGuire: Magazine's The Correct Use of Soap is is one of the more evocative slabs of this marvy time period. Chills.

	2:01pm bobobob dublon: tim of course. i know brammer and Dan kubinski ..seen him last time i was. in Milwaukee..nice guys...i guess Eric ..lives in Amsterdam now..
	2:02pm Krys O.: Now I'm trying to recall the theme played during WNYU's concert listing. Was it a Monochrome Set song?
	2:02pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, EFD & all!
	2:02pm Jack McGuire: I'm assuming EFD is using the patented Snatzotex record cleaning cloth today.
	2:05pm Asheville Jon: anxiously awaiting today's SMAH!!!

	2:16pm BillD: Great show! Your shows from back then made me buy so many records which I still have today and hearing today!
	2:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: More Peter Holsapple and The dB's on a recent Michael Shelley show - www.wfmu.org...
	2:16pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: EFD, your show is a real treat. If weather conditions were right and I held my radio just so I could catch the New Afternoon Show in NJ in the late 80s.
	2:17pm Asheville Jon: but Handy, an efd show without the SMAH is like...well, it's like carrot cake without cream cheese frosting, like steamed lobster without a vat of melted butter, etc.
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: You hear that?! efd don't need no stinkin' rules! We're playing the Stranglers! Listen within, Asheville John. You will hear the SMAH. It has never stopped sounding for you -- it's always 9:42 for the SMAH.
	2:19pm Asheville Jon: heh
	2:19pm Kay: Is this a different Duchess than on the album The Raven?
	2:20pm efd: @Kay not sure offhand!
	2:21pm Handy Haversack: Well, good to hear another Spizzenergi song, knowing as we do where Captain Kirk is. And has been. And with whom.
	2:22pm Stevel: The vocal athletics in the bridge on WKK? are seared into my mind.

	2:28pm Lixiviated Life: Hey, EFD. I was a regular listener to The New Afternoon Show WNYU in the late 70's and early 80's. Thanks for playing all that music that we couldn't hear anywhere else.
	2:29pm chris_in_space: Love the old mic check! I'm certain I didn't sound as confident in 1981. That's why you're the pro, @efd!
	2:29pm 👨: what happened to dwayne? schedule- wise
	2:29pm Jack McGuire: "Atmosphere and Presentation."
	2:31pm myron feld: efd, didn't Naomi Regelson also do the NAS? I definitely remember her on NYU, just not which shift.
	2:31pm Wil: Love the show and music. Thanks for the new old find of Celia and the Mutations, backed by the Stranglers! Anyone who plays multiple Stranglers tunes in one show gets my support!

	2:32pm Stevel: My headphones are 16 counts ahead of my computer, perfectly synched, on the Killing Joke. My day is complete!
	2:32pm efd: @👨 Duane took this schedule off (it started last month) due to increased work and family responsibilities. He'll be back doing fill ins from time to time though.

	2:33pm DocBlueDog: In about 1982 listening to this song on College radio in New York City with headphones late at night and chewing ice save me from a nervous breakdown. I’ll never forget with gratitude. Killing Joke forever. The 40th anniversary tour was amazing.
	2:33pm Beast of Boonton: The Duane Train does not stop in Jersey City for now

	2:52pm Iron Wombat: This set is like being in High School again
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: I know! What Hopey said! I guess it was too much to hope that reaching so hard into the past would create a time loop of sonic awesomeness and the show could go on forever. But still: a disappointment. Thanks, efd! Stay funky, funksters! And let those air horns sound!
	2:55pm brycepunk1: Today's set absolutely killed! Thank you!
	2:55pm tempusfugitive: This one sounds exactly like the arcade game "Twin Cobra"
	2:56pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great memories EFD. Fantastic show
	2:56pm efd: thanks everyone! Keep pledging! pledge.wfmu.org...
	2:56pm rptblk: Rushed home after high school for New Afternoon Show every weekday in the early 80's. Probably one of the main things that got me through my teen years. Today's playlist is a perfect throwback to a (new) afternoon (show) back then - still the best era for music for me - glad to see The Gas make an appearance (they should get more love). Thanks for all the amazing DJ'ing over the years, EFD.
	2:56pm Lixiviated Life: This was fun. Thanks Evan
	2:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks for a great show, EFD!!
