The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 23, 2008

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.

	11:33pm Laurie: Yes, Evan, people on PCP as well. How careless of me to leave them out!
	11:36pm toni d.: evan,,i hope u'll bb in the 08-09 schedule,,,cause I LOVE YOU!!!!
	11:46pm porp: Boston is my home!
	11:47pm Laurie: I thought you were going to play a Monkees song in honor of Mickey Dolenz's escape from the hate pit.
	11:47pm Sybil: They clinched something, anyway.
	11:47pm miss buxley: GOD BLESS NORMAN WHITFIELD
	11:47pm randy in NC: Yay Sawx
	11:52pm efd: Hi Sybil! i'm going to leave it at wildcard... I don't think they've got a shot at the division at this point.
	11:52pm soupy: I heard Papi was rocking his goggles.
	11:54pm efd: he's gotta keep the champagne out of his eyes!
	11:55pm Sybil: This is going to be a very interesting postseason. "Interesting" isn't the word.
	11:56pm toni daytona: evan?? will you be back in the 08--09 sched?? & enuff sports talk,,,,=)=)=)
	11:59pm efd: Toni/Miss B, the sports talk is just getting started! And yes, I'm pleased to announce that I will be returning to this same time slot for the new schedule.
	12:00am Sybil: Well, that's a relief.
	12:01am efd: Yeah, now I can start planning my postseason coverage. Not to mention my election night blowout!
	12:03am Sybil: Dodgers lead 10-1, top of 5th. I wonder if John is at this game?
	12:04am Sybil: Bottom of 5th, rather.
	12:08am toni d.: efd----thank you for your time,,ginte hugz & kisses see ya next week
	12:09am Sybil: And we should be celebrating the 27th why, hmmmmm?
	12:18am efd: umm, well, because it's Meat Loaf's birthday? (among other people's)
	12:21am efd: Oh, and Commenteer John emailed me earlier today - he is flying back from CA at this hour, but he said he made it to the game on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Dodgers lost 1-0 in 11 innings.
	12:23am Sybil: Oh, I saw that game. I was cleaning the room while watching. The room got VERY clean.
	12:31am efd: haha. John was the one in the Manny-dreads Dodger cap.
	12:34am Sybil: Oh, yeah, that guy.
	12:51am the foxy blonde: evan one last thing,,,i really enjoy hangin with you every tues nite,,,its fun!!!! PEACE OUT
	12:54am Jessica: I set a timer, to remind me to turn on the show tonight. Then I accidentally ate some cayenne and got lip blisters, 'cause I'm dainty like that, so then took some real live antihistamines and — holy heck, has that alarm been going off for 2hrs already? whee.
	12:55am efd: Jessica, a happy how-do-you-do to you!!
	1:00am Ken From Hyde Park: The Monkees TV show was fun to watch when I was a kid. Each week's episode would have them chasing around in sped-up motion during one of their songs, a-la Benny Hill.
	1:03am Sybil: It just kind of came up on your MP3 player, did it? Just kind of grew there?
	1:03am Sybil: That is pretty creepy.
	1:07am efd: well, yeah... I had dumped about 500 random songs from my home mp3 library onto my player, and there it was on my way home tonight. I wasn't really paying attention til about halfway through since I was reading the paper, and suddenly I stopped and re-started it to make sure I really heard what I thought I heard!
	1:09am Sybil: And... the Dodgers win, 10-1. Joe Torre's magic number is 3. I'm psyched. Player of the game: NOMAH!
	1:12am Sybil: So Jessica, getting back to those hot pepper blisters - do antihistimines actually help, or just knock you out?
	1:14am efd: which would Yankee fans hate more in the World Series - Red Sox vs Mets, or Sox vs. Torre and the Dodgers? Ken - hi, and thanks for your comment! Monkees had better music than the Benny Hill show, I think (not that you were suggesting otherwise).
	1:55am Sybil: They're apparently Danish, so I think you got it right.. (nej pronounced like "nay")
	1:56am efd: ah, thanks! and goodnight ,everyone!
