WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 13, 2015

Listener comments!
	9:06pm john: Living in CT, I'd never heard (of) WHTG, but I think I'm gonna dig this. And this Saints elpee is a lost mid-80s classic. As good as anything from the early years.
	9:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: What luck for me! I get home, flip on the TV and "Office Space" is on. Flip on the radio and EFD is on. Next on the agenda is to see what's the hockey score and root up something to eat. Looking forward to the WHTG stories.
	9:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember this "Gettysburg" song. Never knew it was The Brandos that played it, though.
	9:13pm BigSigSputnik: You're always the best, EFD!
	9:14pm Christine: WHTG was a mainstay for me during high school and college. Also enjoyed hanging out at the Green Parrot!
	9:14pm Mailman Tom: I haven't heard that Suede song in a long time !
	9:15pm Roberto: That's the third time EFD has played Metal Mickey. I've starred all three instances.
	9:16pm cheri: hey there evan, what's up everybody!
	9:17pm Alex of Chicago: Hey, folks.
	9:21pm JakeGould: Hey! This show sounds good already.
	9:25pm cheri: great opening to the show, evan!
	9:27pm Barkevious Shabazz: This does not sound like the arch dude.
	9:29pm Barkevious Shabazz: Zodiac Mindwarp!
	9:52pm JakeGould: Damned?
	10:00pm Christine: This set is making me so happy!
	10:04pm common: thank you so much for playing i will dare evan!
	10:17pm Cap'n: EFD!
	10:19pm ikє: Cool that she mentioned WBJB because it has an HD2/streaming service called Altrok. It's very much what HTG would sound like today (as a non-comm) if it had a reasonably wide-ranging playlist and lots of new stuff.
	10:21pm Jerry Rubino: as I slip in......
	10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - I'll catch something tonight...
	10:21pm efd: That Altrok stream is programmed by WHTG Alum Sean Carolan, and several ex-HTGers are on the main station.
	10:22pm Ĩkє: Right, Sean Carolan! Plus I forgot to say, lately Altrok has lots of HUMAN DJs, not just Sean but several others -- very rare for an HD2/streaming operation.
	10:24pm BOBBY THE W: Grapes of Wrath!
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh goodie - a stream new to me... : www.wbjb.org...
	10:26pm Christine: God bless the Green Parrot.
	10:27pm Jeff from Rahway: Evan, your show is bringing back lots of memories for me. Teenage me was able to pick up WFMU and WHTG clearly on the radio.
	10:28pm Pseu Braun: HTG was my jam back in the day. Just tuning in a bit late here, thanks for the memories and HEY NEAL!
	10:29pm efd: Neal says hi back!
	10:30pm Jerry Rubino: One of the best afternoon's at the station was when The Wonder Stuff stopped by and hung with us.
	10:31pm Mike Marrone: Loving the show... FYI... the "slogan" we used during my time ('84-'89) was "FM106.3... Your Rock Alternative."
	10:34pm Jerry Rubino: Thanx Mike!
	10:35pm BOBBY THE W: House of Coffee!
	10:36pm Mike Marrone: The Wonder Stuff movie was called "Welcome To The Cheap Seats"
	10:37pm Jerry Rubino: Blue Swan Diner.....Monmouth Stereo.....Almost Live.....
	10:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Mike Marrone - WRRV 96.9 in Middletown, NY, claims they're our rock alternative these days.
	10:41pm Mike Marrone: Rich would always use the unbanded Howard Jones EP with 3 songs on each side... hence the birth of the FM 106 3Play!
	10:44pm JakeGould: WBRK – “The Brick: Your Rock Alternative”
	10:48pm BOBBY THE W: Hey Venus!
	10:48pm Jerry Rubino: TPE!
	10:49pm JakeGould: That Petrol Emotion?
	10:50pm BOBBY THE W: but, of course! a staple!
	10:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Well, the Rangers & Capitals figured out a winner of their series. I'm not going to spoil the result for anyone, though.
	10:54pm Jeff from Rahway: Fuck the Rangers. But The Blasés kick ass.
	10:54pm BOBBY THE W: uh oh... can Rotator Cuff be far behind?!
	11:07pm Christine: Plimsouls- A Million Miles Away?
	11:08pm Jeff from Rahway: The Mental Floss compilation was LEGENDARY. I'll die with my copy.
	11:11pm Fuzzy: You're in Jersey, but I'm not...
	11:12pm Michael Shelley: me w/ Jeff Raspe, 1997: www.facebook.com...
	11:13pm murcuryvapor: How about There is No Love Between Us Anymore by PWEI, Kundalini Express Love and Rockets?
	11:13pm murcuryvapor: Totally forgot about Doctor D and Rock over London.
	11:14pm marc: Wow. That's one hell of a shift
	11:15pm Jeff from Rahway: Okay, time to play Spiral Jetty and Dramarama.
	11:17pm spodiodi: Anything, anything, anyyyythiiing
	11:18pm murcuryvapor: Shoot it up.
	11:18pm Jeff from Rahway: "Last Cigarette" is actually my fave Dramarama song.
	11:18pm murcuryvapor: The miracle of FM ducting.
	11:21pm Jerry Rubino: "Scenario" or "Transformation" are probably my fave Dramarama tunes.
	11:21pm Fuzzy: "Haven't Got A Clue" is most excellent.
	11:21pm marc: I still have a WDRE bumper sticker
	11:28pm Jeff from Rahway: Wow...I first heard All on WHTG. To date they remain the loudest band I ever heard @ Maxwell's. They played their with Government Issue, who I believe just reunited.
	11:31pm murcuryvapor: WDRE bumpa sticka
	11:33pm spodiodi: I sawr one the other day.
	11:36pm JakeGould: @marc: Some guy who lived in Manhattan Beach (near Brighton Beach in Brooklyn) had a WDRE/WLIR van parked in front of his place all the time in the 1980s. Wonder who that was.
	11:39pm rw: What's the "M" word?
	11:41pm Jerry Rubino: "masturbation"
	11:41pm Dave Shire: One time our local college station was playing that awful "Get a Job" song by The Offspring, which starts out with "My friends got a boyfriend and she hates that dick" but the station didn't like them saying dick, so the DJ would come on and yell PENIS instead.
	11:42pm spodiodi: Fool is my fave All jam.
	11:43pm Pseu Braun: good times!
	11:43pm rw: Hahaha! I don't like that word either. I mean... well... you know...
	11:44pm steve: i am loving all this music
	11:44pm Stevel: Thank you Jerry R. for the clarification. While I have no experience with WHTG, this show has been terrific. So enjoyable. I AM A RADIO NERD for a reason. Its great stuff. Thanks.
	11:55pm Jerry Rubino: Here's a good link to a good list of WHTG jocks: http://www.altrok.com/fm106.3/airstaff.htm
	11:57pm Pseu Braun: I like the Mentor's "version" better, sorry!
	11:58pm Alex of Chicago: Thanks, EFD.
	11:58pm Pseu Braun: www.youtube.com... (apologies to Material Issue memories!)
	12:00am Pseu Braun: GREAT SHOW EFD and guests!
	12:00am Jeff from Rahway: Solid Dramarama song, EFD. Well done.

	12:04am Stevel: Yes, sorry. Small Change. Indeed.
	2:54pm brandon: Sorry I missed this! Went to HS with WHTG which is exactly when you should listen to them. Y'all forgot the Whirling Dervishes.

May 13, 2015: Celebrating FM 106.3, WHTG ("Modern Rock At The Jersey Shore) and station owner Faye Gade

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

From 1984 until 2000 New Jersey was the home of one of the most respected and beloved commercial rock radio stations in the country, WHTG-FM (aka FM 106.3). The station broadcast from a house in Asbury Park NJ where the station's owner, the late Faye Gade, also lived. There weren't many radio stations playing "modern rock" or "alternative" music at the time, nor were there many stations owned by women. Gade played a key role in nurturing the station's independence and giving DJs an unusual amount of freedom for a commercial radio station, which led to a loyal and devoted listenership.

Faye Gade passed away earlier this year, so to celebrate her memory and the legacy of WHTG Evan will be joined in the studio tonight by former WHTG staffers Jerry Rubino and Neal Adams (Neal is also a former WFMU DJ). Throughout the night they'll be talking with other past FM 106.3 DJs and, more importantly, playing some of the music that made the station stand out among its peers.

Coincidentally there is also a WHTG Reunion Concert happening this Friday, May 15, at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park. Richard Barone and Jeffrey Gaines will be appearing along with several other bands - check the Facebook invite for more details or visit the Wonder Bar website for more info. The show is a benefit for Jewish Family & Children's Services of Greater Monmouth County, Faye Gade's favorite charity.
