WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlists and Archives

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlists and Archives

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.

NEW! Take a look at the playlist from my BEST OF 2024 show! You can see (and hear!) my favorite albums, singles/EPs, various artist compilations, and single artist reissues/collections!

Upcoming events:

Wed. Mar 19th, Noon - 3pm: Kevin McDonald and Dave Hill; authors Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock (More info...)
So much for a quiet post-marathon show! First, Kevin McDonald and Dave Hill will call in to talk about Kevin McDonald Superstar, the rock opera written by and starring the titular Kid In The Hall that includes Dave as the opening act. The show opens tonight at the SoHo Playhouse in NYC.
Later, Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock return to the show to discuss their latest book Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock's Wildest Festival which comes out next week.
