The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from November 3, 2009

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.

November 3, 2009: the spaceship is called love: more record fair finds!

	11:17pm toni daytona: hiya evan,,,how was your halloween?? did you go to any parties??? i sure missed you was away for a while =)
	11:20pm AZ: That Top Secret 45 was the most absurd pastiche of Propaganda-era Sparks I've ever heard. Also, the only pastiche of Propaganda-era Sparks I've ever heard. Does this Huge Hart single predate or postdate "Oh Luncinda" by the Only Ones? Because it feels kinda Only Ones-esque, don't you think?
	11:22pm osvi: Yo EFD, you guys hit my b-day sooner than I do, isnt that crazy? Im blessing my day with a bottle of cheap wine and your beats. Feliz cumpleanos to me...

	11:40pm AZ: I think Alzo was a person, not a band. He was part of the duo Alzo & Udine who made a decent LP that shows up every once in a while.
	11:46pm efd: you're right AZ, the writing credit on that single is "A. Fronte" - presumably the "A" is for "Alzo."
	11:51pm toni d.: evan---i know what i said before but PLEASE find something romantic to play for brad & i ty again,,,g'nite=)
	11:53pm Peanut G: Found on the 99-cent store kids' bookshelf: "Presumably A Is for Alzo": #1 In the Mini-Murder Noir For Nippers(tm) alphabooks series.
	12:04am Election Night: or maybe Alzo Rans.
	12:06am Amanda: Jet! Jet! Thank you for not being tired of this song yet.
	12:10am Brian Wilson: Hammer time!
	12:16am Peanut G: What, no Alzo Sprachs?
	12:22am Aharon: Ah, bummer, no Jeremy Jays. Well, he deserves my money.
	12:31am Jessica: No way! EFD: that's my v first, er, boyfriend, circa 1982, fronting this band. Phenomenal front man. Awesome band. Good effing times.
	12:33am efd: wow, no kidding! The Evan "Funk" Davies show, playing the Music Of Your Life.
	12:39am J Geils: The pages from my mind are stripped O no, I can't deny it O yeah, I guess I got to buy it My memories have just been sold!
	12:48am lyrics: what kind of girl are you?
	12:48am ?: apb sounding like low rent ACR. Shack up for real.
	1:10am 888888888888: 888888888888888
	1:15am Joshua K: Nice song about being a whore.
	1:16am jaded: hard boiled? pass the salt
	1:44am Joshua K: I don't know how to do any of these dances
	1:45am nec13: I just checked in. J. Geils was here?
	1:47am Joshua K: I watched "The Mack" last weekend.
	1:47am hairsplitter: his lyrics were. momentarily.
	1:50am nec13: Evan, will you be playing Donnie Iris every week?
	1:51am blunt guy: and why the f--- not?
	1:51am efd: nope... it just happened that the single was still in my singles box, and I couldn't resist busting it out again.
	1:52am nec13: I don't have a problem with it, blunt guy. Who doesn't like Donnie Iris/Jaggerz?
	2:48pm rory: it's my favorite big star song as well
	12:14pm Happytobeme: Supercluster-cool!
