The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from March 17, 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.

March 17, 2008: i won't wear green, but i'll play some plausibly related music

Listener comments!
	11:16pm jackie burkhardt: heey efd,,,HAPPY ST. PATTYS DAY,,i hope you had GROOOOOOOOOVY day,,,i did,,but i had a better weekend,,,i was ROCKIN!!!!! WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!! SEE YOU SOON,,>; )
	11:18pm john: Get Down! Brilliant! Gosh, I miss the '70s. Nobody does songs about dogs any more, or at least ones that make the top 10.
	11:18pm Joe: Gilbert O'Sullivan... that, Mr. Funkdavies, is a tenuous link, at best.
	11:20pm efd: cone on, he's Irish! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_O'Sullivan
	11:22pm efd: *that should be come on, not cone on. now ,A-Bones or House of Pain-- that's* tenuous!
	11:24pm Joe: DJ Lethal is LITHUANIAN?!
	11:26pm that 70 chick: evan,,,,ROCK ON!!!!! play more 70s
	11:30pm john: If you play Shannon, you get my whole 51st anniversary pledge next year. DEFINITELY nobody does songs about Carl Wilson's dog drowning any more.
	11:32pm John McCabe: please mention that green clovers or other stupid pieces of paper pined to your shirt does not count you must wear a green article of clothing
	11:41pm Laurie: Oof. This Neil Young song is not so good. I think that can be said about nearly every Neil Young song, but this one in particular is bad. It's giving me the lulz.
	11:42pm efd: damn, Laurie, you're on to me!
	11:46pm Laurie: It's okay, Evan. This James White song is my jam.
	11:46pm John McCabe: ok that Neil Young song sounded like he was "phoning it in" but Neil is the king of rock n' roll from 2000-2002 that all I would play
	11:47pm mary jane: Yes! Contort Yourself still sounds great!!
	11:47pm Laurie: Wait, isn't this James Chance?? Am I confused?
	11:50pm mary jane: Yep but he changed his name to suit his purposes. Including using James White. And of course the band The Contortions.
	11:52pm Joe: Nope, Texas
	11:54pm Laurie: I am almost positive that "Contort Yourself" was released under James Chance & the Contortions.
	11:55pm Tim Serpas: "What Made..." is from Austin, TX
	11:57pm Randy in NC: efd, you are correct. The original version of Contort... was James Chance and the Contortions. This version was certainly smoother. My memory tells me that the Blacks became the Raybeats.
	11:59pm Laurie: I'm relatively young. I should just get points for knowing of James Chance.
	12:05am Laurie: Oh, also, the linguist in me wants to inform you that it's pronounced DED-uh-lus.
	12:07am efd: thanks for the info, Joe & TIm! Laurie, I wholeheartedly agree regarding knowing who James Chance is in the first place. I also thought it was DED-uhlus, but I've heard a couple of others say DAYdulus so I wonder if the artist has a "special" pronunciation. Randy, is that the case? I can't recall... I thought of them as contemporaries, but I think there was some overlap between members now that you mention it.
	12:18am a chick: efd-i sent you mail.
	12:27am Randy in NC: efd, it could be that the Blacks were the Raybeats when they played w/o James White/Chance. I know I saw them both around the same time period.
	12:31am efd: Randy, looks like you are indeed on the right track - see http://www.raybeats.net/?page_id=3 (And Laurie, that page has some helpful James Chance/White/Black info as well.)
	12:46am Joe: This is the bounce I didn't even know I was craving. Thank you.
	12:48am Randy in NC: http://www.allsparks.com May 16 through June 7 Sounds exhausting. But fun!
	12:53am Randy in NC: All 21 shows are 350 Pounds.
	12:55am efd: damn, that's a lot of pounds! Joe, glad you dug that Junc Ops.
	1:01am mary jane: One day will you play The Bush Tetras "Too Many Creeps" . The uber cool Pat Place was in the Contortions and the Bush Tetras.
	1:03am mary jane: That is, Pat Place IS in The Bush Tetras.
	1:07am Laurie: Thanks for playing Junc Ops, by the way. Miami's music scene is lackluster for the most part. It's been mostly downhill since L'Trimm split up.
	1:08am Joe: Hopefully he won't bail like Masta Ace did! He lots alot of points with me for that... my man Noah is too cool for that shit...
	1:18am mary jane: Had not heard of Liliput...and since I like the BTetras...I wondered who Liliput is/was...looked it up...you are way cool,efd. Thank you for taking a request to a very fine place!
	1:35am efd: Mary Jane, it's my pleasure to have introduced you to Kleenex / Liliput. I highly recommend that 2CD set if you want to hear more.
	7:17pm Joe B: I am officially going on record as saying Jellyroll Man is a GREAT song/performance!
	11:27am efd: this from the DJ whose name comes up more than any other when doing a playlist search for "Neil Young!" :-)
	1:13pm Baron Samedi: Hey! For those of you saying they want more seventies stuff, why not go to: http://superseventiesounds.blogspot.com/
