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.

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in!

Starz:

you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
  9:18pm
efd:

@glenn, yep, I generally only switch colors when the schedule changes. Except for next week's show.
  9:21pm
Dave B:

I had a tame impala once.

It was a 62 bel air.
  9:21pm
Danne D:

Awesome :)
  9:23pm
G:

This arrangement almost gives Take on Me a Mexican tinge
  9:23pm
EL:

The show is always great but sometimes it gets triple great.
  9:24pm
Danne D:

ooh Polecats
  9:24pm
pipsqueak:

Yeah!
  9:25pm
glenn:

polecats are great. or were. are they still around?
  9:27pm
G:

wikipedia, Polecats: "The band continue to tour and as of summer 2009 are playing gigs in Europe, Japan and USA."
  9:28pm
Danne D:

That's a long tour
  9:31pm
G:

Do more research if you want info past 2009. :-) They made it 30 years as of that point, but I suppose could have broken up in the last 24 months. My guess is that the wording was written in 2009 and not updated since then, which probably means their status as a group hasn't changed, or the entry had have been edited by someone.
  9:31pm
Danne D:

And that's how it goes. Yeah. And that's how it goes!
  9:32pm
Van in Dallas:

Coming in loud & clear in Dallas. Hi efd.
  9:32pm
Stevel:

Tones on Tail: trying to remember if I actually heard this or just like it.

Did it get any alt.-station play? Used to listen to an "X" station out of Pittsburgh in '86, 87.
  9:32pm
Danne D:

heh, G, couldn't help the throwaway line :)
  9:34pm
nina:

@Stevel I was thinking the same thing. Eerily familiar, or just fantastic?
  9:34pm
Mildred:

The playlist looks cool in blue.
  9:36pm
Stevel:

Take on Me was a great video of the day, I loved it. There! I said it.
  9:36pm
Danne D:

If EFD plays some Billy Joel covers later, you'll know he also listens to Mike Francesca on the weekends....

hah. i have an etch a sketch pen. it's got a 1 1/4 " x 1 3/4 " screen on top. it works, too.
  9:37pm

that was me.
  9:38pm
barkevious mcguire:

Are Starz only exceeded in greatness by Angel?
  9:39pm
Van in Dallas:

Soon the raptors will strike. They will stalk us all. And then the playlist will be blood red. And then what? The raptors will have won! And it's all the fault of xkcd. It is starting so innocuously with the "woolly mammoth". Ha! Right. We are doomed. Doomed I say.
  9:40pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

Stop busting on Ronnie Montrose (a killer player--especially with Edgar Winter)
  9:40pm
G:

Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s
vs.
"starting with the 70s, as we pretty much always do"

(the battle of the old and new show descriptions!)
  9:41pm
efd:

I wasn't busting on Ronnie Montrose! Just taking advantage of an unwitting word choice to make a bad pun.
  9:43pm
cheri:

seasons greetings evan & danne,, but alas evan this is my final post this year,,,i hope you two have a happy new year,, see ya all in 2012!!
  9:43pm

?: Does your etch a sketch pen have ROTOSCOPE?!?!? (I think not.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping
  9:43pm

i didn't think so, either.
titular : from whom or which a title or name is taken

rotoscope pens? i am agog.

Danne D:

hi/bye Happy Christmas/Merry New Year Cheri
  9:48pm
Danne D:

(still not exactly sure why I get singled out with all the superior commenters on here)
  9:50pm
glenn:

because crazy people tend to fixate on one person or thing.
  9:53pm
Danne D:

um, but Evan and Julie and I aren't one person....
  9:54pm
Van in Dallas:

I'm three people all by myself.
  9:55pm
Stevel:

Danne D: Perhaps you form a triumvirate? Those are cool! (And powerful!)
  9:55pm
glenn:

oh yeah. there is that minor detail.
  9:55pm
Danne D:

That's different though - you're like god or something, Van
  9:56pm
Van in Dallas:

Oh no not at all! It's just levels of alcohol.
  9:57pm
Stevel:

Van is the Seer. The Seer of DOOM!!
  9:57pm
Van in Dallas:

Well, alcohol, and the emergency status of Raptor invasion.
  9:58pm
Danne D:

Seer is just one of those words that's looks weird compared to how you say it.
  9:58pm
Stevel:

IS this how you spell Seer"? It doesn't look right.
  10:00pm
glenn:

in this context, yes. there's also sear and sere.
  10:01pm
Relational Dynamics:

Danne is nice to people. Cheri knows some people will not be receptive to her, but Danne is safe. It's pretty simple.
  10:01pm
glenn:

i don't think the mavericks will have to worry about a raptor invasion, cause they're probably the worst team in the n.b.a..
  10:01pm
Relational Dynamics:

I meant "her"
  10:02pm
Van in Dallas:

Yes but just in case, I still crush every egg I see in the supermarket. Just in case. Raptors are reeeeeeeallllly sneaky.
  10:03pm
Relational Dynamics:

How much have you had so far, Van?
  10:04pm
Jason from Huntsville, AL:

I am leaning up, briefly, to say hello. Enjoying the show, EFD. Now, back to leaning back.
  10:04pm
12539:

But it's true, Mr Funk, many of us are out here quietly enjoying the experience of the Evan Funk Davies show, with a straight face even.
  10:05pm
Van in Dallas:

Well, if this playlist suddenly turns blood red, then not enough!
  10:05pm
Danne D:

JfH! Greetings. Got some celebrity power in the chat tonight!
  10:06pm
Holly in NC:

Hi Evan & all! -
I'm pretty sure Tones on Tail's 'Go' (which I most certainly played on WOZQ in Northampton, MA in the mid 80s) was featured on a Beverly Hills 90210 episode (which I did not see). I played ToT's 'Slender Fungus' with more frequency - do guess which song holds up better. Ah, fake-gothy youth.
  10:08pm
herb:

oooh, i *first* heard TROLLEY on yr nov. 30 show, evan. and by coincidence, on that very day, i picked up the new BIG TAKEOVER mag & happened to catch trolley's "thats that..." review (p.128. come on, buy this loooong-time music mag already). i'll have to chk em out further.
  10:09pm
Robin Eisgrau:

That Wax Idols song was amazing. I have to see them ASAP. Great music as usual, Evan. Trying to go to sleep but can't bear to turn off the radio:)
  10:09pm
12539:

Speaking of fake-gothy youth, I have "Go!" on red vinyl (and "Christian Says" on blue).
  10:11pm
Holly in NC:

@12539 - I think I love you. But do you have ALL the Sisters of Mercy 12", and refer to them by color?
  10:11pm
Jason from Huntsville, AL:

Hi, Danne D. Please, let's put some quotes around that word "celebrity."
  10:13pm
12539:

Sorry, Holly, I never liked Sisters of Mercy. I saw ToT perform once in NY, and all I remember of that show is Daniel Ash wore pants with very, very large polka dots.
  10:14pm
Holly in NC:

Yay Hot Chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10:15pm
efd:

@Robin, yeah, that album is great as was their single that was out earlier in the year.

@Herb, if you go way far back in my archives you'll find even *more* Trolley!

Hi Jason, nice to see you here! As well as Van, Holly, Stevel, Danne, 12539, glenn, barkevious (thanks for your nice comment very early on!), Michael FTLC and anyone I missed!
  10:15pm
Danne D:

C'mon now, JfH - you have a following :) Anyhow good to see you :)

Hiya Holly :) Evan's doing a show in your honor next week I think.

Wow, I just realized I'm driving down South next week for the holidays - need to get the whole rent-a-car thing going...
  10:16pm
Danne D:

I'm having some Hot Chocolate at the coffee shop right now.
  10:16pm
Van in Dallas:

Oh my. Polka dots! Very large ones! Talk about a target! Raptors LOVE polka dots!
  10:17pm
Danne D:

I would take my own car, but it has like 239,000 miles on it so I figure I'll play it safe even though it still is running like a champ *knock wood*
  10:17pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

wow--I didn't know Cicero Park was reissued--a great album!
  10:18pm
Stevel:

"...could have been sweet as wine..."

I can smell the Boone's Farm from here. Memories. Fuzzy, fuzzy memories, like many in the 70s.
  10:19pm
Holly in NC:

@Danne -
Hollydays? C'mon, bring it, I've heard 'em all ;-)

North Carolina welcomes you!
  10:19pm
barkevious mcguire:

@holly i would refef to Alice as Tan and Temple of Love as green but i think having Teenage Jesus on vomit pink vinyl is where it's at.
  10:20pm
Holly in NC:

Strawberry Hill. Oh yeah.
  10:21pm
Holly in NC:

@barkevious -
You are much, much, cooler than me - much. Game set match! However... 'Long Train' *flexi*?
  10:24pm
Bookworm:

Is there a Strand in NC?
  10:24pm
Stevel:

Holly: I was lucky. The easiest stuff to buy in Colorado was 3.2 beer, Awful stuff, and slow to the buzz, but it served the purpose.
  10:26pm
Danne D:

I meant more Deck the Halls With Boughs of...
  10:26pm
Danne D:

Wonders if Bookworm is related to cheri...
  10:27pm
Danne D:

but if it keeps a troll happy and feel good about themselves, what's for me to say? Except nothing else about that.
  10:27pm
barkevious mcguire:

@Holly Haili no. Not that connected. And thet kinda fell apart when they got a real drummer and became the the skinny meatloaf.
  10:28pm
Bookworm:

thats ok danne,,, no one got it but us,,,
  10:28pm
Van in Dallas:

I don't know about STRANDS in NC, but I'll bet there are raptors there. Or soon will be.
  10:31pm
Holly in NC with a real question:

Very good friend of mine is *finally* getting her BA on Sunday. I'm filling her mp3 player as a present. We do art walks & food trucks & thrift stores & animal volunteer work together, but she's not music obsessed & she's only ever told me she likes 2 artists - Richard Buckner & Lucinda Williams. And at our crappy 9-5 job she sings along to the local crappy big hair rawk station . Quick - stream of consciousness - what music do you load for a Lucinda Williams/Richard Buckner/Warrant fan? Who is also possibly the nicest person in the world?
  10:32pm
Van in Dallas:

Anything from Windham Hill...?
  10:33pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

Nice call on the Tommy Roe.
  10:34pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

Holly--how about Shelby Lynne--not too far from the Lucinda Williams axis and good in the same sort of way
  10:35pm
barkevious mcguire:

@Holly The Birthday Party "Junkyard" lp. The late bass player wore a cowboy hat.
  10:36pm
Van in Dallas:

Even raptors so love Lindsay!!
  10:36pm
PB:

Did Tommy Roe do that song (I'm So) Dizzy?
  10:36pm
john:

Hey Evan! No day, however crappy, can't be dramatically improved by Lindsay Buckingham.
  10:37pm
Julie:

Lindsay Buckingham??!
  10:37pm
will:

I'm not ready to hear Lindsay Buckingham do his best impersonation of Dr. Robert from the Blow Monkeys although I've no idea who came first.
  10:37pm
G:

Yes, PB. One of the first 45s my sister ever bought
  10:38pm
efd:

Hi John, hi Julie!

@PB - yes, he did that song and many more that are even better! :)

enjoying the evan davies funk show!
  10:43pm
Julie:

hi danne hi monica
  10:44pm
Danne D:

I know Evan's show is more baseball oriented, but I'm fascinated by the bar set by the Colts: "Report: Jim Caldwell out if Colts finish 0-16"
  10:44pm
Van in Dallas:

Whoa people. Too many celebrities congregating in one place is just an open invitation to a raptor attack! Hopefully everyone is not wearing their bling tonight? That will help.
  10:45pm
efd:

ha, hi Monica! Nice to see you as always.
  10:46pm
Holly in NC with a real question:

Hi Julie!
@Van - not sure I have anything on Windham Hill, any suggestions?
@Michael FTLC - new to me, will definitely explore after efd 's show! good starting point?
@barkevious - heh. *I* love that ep. Jessie, I think, would not

@efd - Soft Moon = most EXCELLENT music for ex fake-goth girls!!!!!!!! Thank you!
  10:46pm
Stevel:

We have no Raptors in Indiana. Yet.
  10:47pm
Van in Dallas:

Oh, wait. Never mind. They still have to do the Wooley Mammoth first...THEN we get to face the wrath of the raptors afterwords. So, never mind.
  10:47pm
Jason from Huntsville, AL:

Julie = Julie from Cinci?
  10:48pm
G:

Julie the overnight FMU DJ
  10:48pm
Jason from Huntsville, AL:

My wife, Brandi from Huntsville, is digging this Soft Moon track.
  10:48pm

Jason from Huntsville, AL:

Oh, OK. Hi, Julie.
  10:49pm
cheri:

again julie--have a happy new year,,sorry i troubled you the other morning i hope theres no hard feelings
  10:50pm
Julie:

hello Cheri, hard feelings from what? @Jason Julie will be happy you're the first person she thought of
  10:50pm
Holly in NC with a real question:

efd is totally channeling his inner fake goth girl, to mighty fine effect!
  10:50pm
Van in Dallas:

@Hollie - from WH records I really like Mark Isham, Philip Aaberg, Liz Story, Scoyt Cossu & Michael Hedges
  10:51pm

cheri:

from tallking about that girl group all the time julie,,
  10:53pm
kate:

the lures are so amazing, who are these guys???
  10:54pm
efd:

kate, I do not know! The record just showed up in my mailbox last week.
  10:54pm
Danne D:

Heh - "Goth Girl" by John Wesley Harding would be a funny capper to this set.

@holly - here's my dumb less informed suggestion - how about digging up a youtube video of one of the bands she likes and then take a random walk through the "related videos" on the right and see what you find. Just a thought. Anyhow, what a good friend you are:)
  10:54pm
Julie:

@EFD lucky you
  10:56pm
efd:

@Julie even luckier that it was actually good! :)

you're welcome, happy holidays cheri.

@Holly - that is EXACTLY what I'm talking about! It's nothing but "WE'RE GETTING THE RAPTORS NEXT!" ha ha ha! You are all going to be DEAD! Sigh.
  10:59pm
G:

That Lures is pretty obscure alright. The only reference that shows up easily on ye olde interwebs is Brian Turner's Dec 6 playlist
  10:59pm
12539:

@Holly: Laura Cantrell for your friend?
  10:59pm
Holly in NC the geek:

@Van - thank you for ideas!
@Danne -aw, shucks ;-)
Everyone else - know that Laura Cantrell WILL be loaded.

nobody will see ANYBODY in 2012 if the raptors get to them first! Oh crap. I hear noises at the back door...uh oh...

Randy in NC:

@Holly, Caitlyn Cary? SCOTS?
  11:09pm
G:

Hull is a pretty scruffy city. It got the hell bombed out of it in the blitz, and was very run down and downscale for decades after. I would expect rough (in the right way) music like the Lures out of Hull. (I lived in the UK for a few years.)

Van in Dallas:

Thankfully it was a Raptorette, not a Raptor. So, I have THAT going for me....
  11:20pm
G:

Morly Grey sounding a bit like "I'm Your Captain" in places here...
  11:20pm
G:

crossed with Cream
  11:21pm
Randy in NC:

@G, I thought it was for a moment...
  11:22pm
Holly in NC:

@Randy, oh yes, early SCOTS & Whiskeytown, of course. And Pine State. Do you know that someone, somewhere, has video of a VERY drunk me joining Pine State on stage at the Duke Coffeehouse to provide the backing vocals for their cover of Pussy Galore's "C*nt Tease"? In my defense - the Pine State guys passed a gallon jug of Wild Irish Rose to the the front row, & no one else would drink it. I hate waste. And I'd never had WIR before. And I never have again!!!!! :-)
  11:23pm
Van in Dallas:

See, this whole Raptor thing...I blame squarely on Ken. Am I the only one still traumatized by his show today? Of course, I end up feeling that way pretty much every week anyway. It's because of HIM that I still long for The Only Song after all. I need counseling. Can I sue? :)
  11:23pm
Holly in NC:

Rembrandt Maracas. Yes.
  11:24pm
G:

@Van: No, but you can pseu.
  11:25pm
G:

Van, here's your freaking pterodactyl finally. Sonically anyhow.
  11:25pm
Randy in NC:

@Holly, speaking of going back a bit in time, 80's jangle pop fans should know that the Connells are playing a rare gig Friday.
  11:25pm
Van in Dallas:

@G - lol how right you are
  11:29pm
efd:

and speaking of North Carolina jangle pop...
  11:30pm
efd:

@Randy, are you going to that Connells show?
  11:31pm
Randy in NC:

Undecided. I saw them this summer, they played all the hits and were great. I am going to SCOTS the next night.
  11:34pm
Rickwaukee:

Well, it's happened again... efd has made me go an snag the last two by Thee Oh Sees... DAVIIIIEEES!
  11:34pm
Holly in NC:

Oh my gosh, I used to love the Connells! I played the 'Welcome to Comboland" lp on my Massachusetts radio show way before I ever thought of moving to NC (when I wasn't playing the Sisters of Mercy) ;-) So yeah, also dbs, Mitch E - hey, efd, you are in my head! {shakes vigourously}
  11:34pm
Randy in NC:

@Holly they are at the Pour House Friday.
  11:35pm
Julie:

ooooh I just remembered Mary is next! No sleep for me!
  11:35pm
Julie:

My struggling all this time with my printer has somewhat impaired my enjoyment :(
  11:36pm
efd:

ugh, printer battles suck. My sympathies.
  11:37pm
Rickwaukee:

Me, I want a Hula-Hoop
  11:37pm
Printers:

We always win. All we have to do is nothing. Easy peasy.
  11:38pm
efd:

The synths totally work at 45 rpm, I think. The vocals, not so much.
  11:38pm
Julie:

with all the advances in technology we can't make a home printer that doesn't suck. Too many moving parts I suppose
  11:39pm
Rickwaukee:

If only the Chipwrecked soundtrack was like this
  11:39pm
Julie:

yeah the synths are great
  11:40pm
Julie:

I am glad that even a veteran DJ like yourself occasionally makes a booboo
  11:41pm
G:

At 45, it was "Elevated Blood Sugar"
  11:41pm
Rickwaukee:

I wonder what Stehpin Merritt would sound like slowed down
  11:41pm
Randy in NC:

@Julie, even when they don't move they stink. Like mine which says "paper jam" even though there is no paper jammed. Don't get me started on how printer designs stink.
  11:42pm
Julie:

@Randy we should start a protest
  11:44pm
Julie:

I once played Kate Bush at the wrong speed, I forget if it was too fast or too slow but it took a while to figure out
  11:46pm
Holly in NC - now totally freaked out:

@Printers -
Last night I was proofreading Jessie's (yes, the very same Jessie who I've been chatting about all night) application essay to the UNC MSW program - said essay had a few tense/voice/grammar issues - which (cue eerie organ music) I told her would be "easy peasy" to fix. Nobody says "easy peasy". Nobody. Ever. Except for me. And you.
  11:46pm
Rickwaukee:

@Julie too fast and only a dog would have been able to hear KB
  11:47pm
Randy in NC:

@Julie, Mine's already occupied.
  11:47pm
12539:

Can we hear the 45 rpm synths with the 33 rpm voice?
  11:47pm
G:

I'm not sure this is a slam, but fwiw stacian's overall feel at 45 and 33 is not that different really.
  11:49pm
Printers:

I'm psycho. Uh, psychic. Sorry. I really meant psychic. Would you like to talk to a friendly palmetto bug instead?

Easy peasy was on a Geico radio spot in NYC for several years. My gf from Virginia also says it.
  11:52pm
efd:

G, I think that's a marvel of technology and production.
  11:54pm
Holly in NC:

Honkin'! I've missed you!
Better the flying cockroach you know than the naked mole rat you don't ...
  11:54pm
G:

Yep, that's why I wasn't sure it was a slam. It's got a lot of long sustained tones, and they just don't feel that different at the two speeds.
  11:55pm
john:

Getting droney tonight! Awesome.
  11:55pm
Holly in NC:

EFD! A fake-goth band covering a fake-goth band? Genius.
  11:55pm
Printers:

You're putting way too much together here, Mizz H. My therapist says to keep my multiple personalities separate, lest the spacetime fabric be rent asunder.
  11:56pm
Rickwaukee:

turntables... is there anything they can't do?
  11:56pm
Randy in NC:

efd, enjoyed the show!
  11:57pm
Stevel:

Another lovely evening. Many, many thanks.
  11:58pm
efd:

Thanks very much everyone, and have a great night! Back next week with the Holiday Music Funktacular!
  11:59pm
Joe D.:

great shewwww
  11:59pm
Rickwaukee:

"Burn her or dump her?"
  12:00am
G:

Holiday Funktacular: B there or B ❑
  11:55pm
Holly in NC:

EFD - re-listening Friday night - must note the killer Reigning Sound-Tommy Roe segue! :-)
  1:47pm
efd:

Thanks Holly! I was pretty pleased with that one myself. :)
