The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 3, 2007

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.

Listener comments!
	12:05am NYC'r stuk in LA: Whats the track playing while you are talking? Cool playlist, thanks!
	12:10am efd: Hi NYC'r, it's a loop of "Saturday Night Fever" by Lordz of Brooklyn, from around 1993 or so. thanks for listening/commenting!
	12:34am putty: that was a great place for that track to skip...
	12:38am efd: heh... i think i would have liked it better if it had skipped when Harry was talking
	12:52am Jessica: Checking in for a 5min RAWWWK break betw the regular Mon. eve. screening and dinner. The rest of my world needs to catch up w/the day-early EFD dose, dangit.
	1:05am efd: hey Jessica, thanks for stopping by! i'm still trying to catch up to the Monday thing myself. enjoy the dinner + movie!
	1:08am caroline: i liked that last song
	1:11am putty: it's like saying "potato knish"
	1:24am efd: let the record show that commenter Caroline was referring to the Baskervilles song (I think!)
	6:37pm alan: just listening to the archive, hope you enjoy the comment!
	9:24pm efd: oh, i just got a little excited by an email that i had a new comment. Thanks, Alan! (this time i'll be ready for the email that this comment will generate.)
	10:33pm alan: Let the email alerts of the message board messages to be alerted to by email commence!
	12:49pm aharon: Thanks very much for the Besnard Lakes tix. EFD and FMU. Report on show (not to be all gift-horsey): so-so+. Each song seemed like it was building to greatness, but was in fact just building to another, similar song. They kinda substitute fracture for dynamics. But with that caveat, pretty good.
	9:11am efd: Hey Aharon, thanks for the follow-up report! Glad you had the chance to check them out even if it turned out to be not exactly your cup of tea.
