The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 14, 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.

January 14, 2008: ah, new bin. how i've missed you.

	11:20pm Ainsley: hello there, new friend
	11:30pm dave: awwww, maybe just a LITTLE disco dance party?
	11:45pm crunk: punx not dead.

	11:50pm punk: crunx not dead.
	11:56pm andrea: chido liro
	11:57pm patrick: oh pizza regret, im having some of that right now!
	12:01am Randy in NC: Hurrah's! What a great place that was. I didn't go, but recall the incident you mentioned. It was so clean and spacious compared to CB's and Max's. Plus there were girls there... It was right near Lincoln Center, I think they knocked down the bldg it was in and put some thing hi rise there, no?
	12:05am Tom (The Bactrian Support Network): Remember ""A&7""" haha
	12:05am crunk: gimmmeee some tickets!!!
	12:14am crunk: gimme some liner notes!!!
	12:21am efd: someone out there should look up Jimmy Page and the Factotums, I'm almost sure he played guitar on at least one of their songs at some point.
	12:23am efd: i would also like to know what "chido liro" means.
	12:26am punx: Jimmy Page was in the studio at the time and laid down a 12 string guitar fill in “Can’t Go Home Anymore My Love” si. http://www.manchesterbeat.com/bands/factotums/factotums.php
	12:29am Nikola: Yep. Jimmy Page did something with "Hip Young Guitar Singer." And Babelfish refuses to cooperate with all of this silly lingo going about.
	12:30am efd: a-HAAA! thank you, punx and Nikola!
	12:34am demonique: EFD-how ya been??? the show is REALLY HOT!!!! i'm enjoyin it,,btw,,you like FAMILY GUY?? i do,,see ya next week,,,
	12:36am Nikola: I actually might be wrong with my discovery. I really don't know. punx is definitely right though. Anyone in this joint listen to Idiot Flesh?
	12:41am Ainsley: IDIOT FLESH
	12:51am Randy in NC: Wikipedia - Hip Young Guitar Slinger - A compilation of pre Zeppelin studio sessions, recorded 1962 - 1966. The Factotums are disk 2, track 8.
	1:03am Matt: Don't trust anyone over thirty is a collab between japanther and artist Dan Graham. That's maybe why it seems like a concept album.
	1:07am Julie Bean: oceans of sound...great stuff. so big ups to the DJ and big ups to RON PAUL.
	1:10am churner: ha tru. Evan Funk Davies 2008 RON PAUL 2008

	1:17am churner: how's king tuts wa wa hut?
	1:25am slugluv1313: the wa wa hut is no more -- for many many years -- some other bar there now, don't know the name
	1:26am Randy in NC: I specifically recall seeing Per Ubu, james White and the Blacks, the Raybeats w/Debbie Harry there. It's kinda where Punk intersected with disco. Come to think of it, I think I saw the Specials there too.
	1:29am churner: oh well
	1:33am slugluv1313: if i remember correctly, Hurrah may have been a disco before it became Hurrah??? . . . but yeah, it sure was SPACIOUS compared to Max's, CBGB, TR3, even the Mudd Club -- nice place to dance! then a buncha other places sprang up, in NYC and NJ, converting from "disco" to "new wave" . . . i remember seeing X at a place called The 80s (somewhere uptown?)
	1:35am churner: the good ol days, huh RON PAUL 2008
	1:35am slugluv1313: EFD, you are totally rocking to-night (just thought i should give proper recognition!)

	1:39am Randy in NC: I went to the 80's too. A pain to get to when you lived in Brooklyn though. Great show!!
