The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from February 24, 2016

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!
	9:04pm jon: hi efd and funksters. the 70s start always puts a smile on my face.
	♥ 9:07pm efd: thanks jon! Happy to have you here.
	9:09pm Will: Hey is that Julian Cope?
	♥ 9:11pm efd: not as far as I know! This was out around the same time Teardrop Explodes was starting, so I think it's just the sound of the time, in a way.
	♥ 9:13pm Figgsrock: Oh man, I had forgotten how great this Redd Kross track was!
	♥ 9:16pm Stevel: Killer Redd Kross. Nasty.
	♥ 9:16pm efd: it's a great one!
	9:23pm Loretta: hi Evan!! & fellow listeners..... looking forward to the show tonight.
	9:23pm JakeGould: Hey! Thank you Joe Reda!
	♥ 9:42pm Bootsie: I liked that Saucy Jacks track!
	9:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Above found the hook ! Wanna hear the rest of the EP now...
	9:43pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan, Steve and all. Re. Saucy Jacks: Tilbrook and Difford can't get no satisfaction?!
	♥ 9:46pm efd: Hi Eddy! Sorry but my brain is not processing your comment right now -- could be simply due to being in the throes of the show.
	9:52pm Eddy in Australia: Oh! I thought the vocals sound a bit like Squeeze, while the riff sounds like the Stones. By the way, Trevor White is kinda curious. There seems to be some conjecture online over whether he is the same guy who played Jesus in the '70s Australian production of JCS.
	♥ 9:58pm Stevel: Hey Eddy! Scraper was pretty sharp. Displaying a bit of edge tonight.
	10:00pm Todd-o-phonic: Oh Jesus, I broadcast out of there about every other week. Stop crying. It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools. Looking forward to co-hosting your marathon show!
	♥ 10:00pm Stevel: CD3 has no taste. Love pre-marathon adjustments.
	♥ 10:07pm efd: One day I'll be as good as you, Todd.
	10:12pm Todd-o-phonic: Wow, within moments of making my snide comment all the power went out in our building for a bit. I knew you were powerful but I had no idea how powerful! YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT ABOUT STUDIO B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please ignore my snide instagram comment, I beseech of you kind sir!
	♥ 10:13pm efd: That was just a warning, Todd. A WAAARRRRNNNIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!
	♥ 10:16pm Stevel: X-Men IVVX: The Great DJ Wars.
	♥ 10:22pm Uncle Michael: I'll never be as good as anybody but at least I get to use Studio A during the Marathon. Neener.
	♥ 10:23pm Bootsie: @Eddy in Australia re Saucy Jacks: vocally they reminded me a bit of the Rembrandts.
	10:32pm JakeGould: I’ve been saying this all day… WE NEED A BIGGER NAVY!!!
	10:35pm JakeGould: News Flash! “I had nothing to do with breaking up The Beatles. And I think Paul McCartney is a pretty cool dude.” www.rappler.com...
	10:39pm FernandoBelmondo: Hi Evan! Getting in late, but I know you still got plenty of goodys for the rest of the show.
	♥ 10:43pm Uncle Michael: (wakes up)
	♥ 10:43pm Uncle Michael: Yes...six hours. Jukebox party the second half.
	10:47pm Todd-o-phonic: Evan please don't scare people away from Pat's show Saturday night. Gaylord is not a "musical guest", he will be dj'ing.
	♥ 10:49pm efd: ha- that's what I get for reading too fast! Thanks for the clarification, UM.
	10:50pm axlotl: omg, that ELO was amazing.
	10:51pm JakeGould: Tones on Tail!
	♥ 10:52pm Bootsie: I'm sure my upstairs neighbors are now wondering why I just randomly yelled "GO!"
	♥ 10:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the plug, EFD!
	11:02pm JakeGould: Holy shit, EFD! Nailing it this set!
	♥ 11:04pm jmd: Just had to check in to say this Ty Segall cover rocks!
	11:14pm Trisha M. Van: This is so good!!
	11:14pm JakeGould: Creaky Chair! YES!!!
	11:15pm Listener Johnny: Ponytail by Justin Trouble is the best rock & roll song of all time, no shiat slick.
	♥ 11:22pm Bootsie: Sparks, YES!
	♥ 11:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: For the sake of experiment, I thought I'd wash the mid-week clothes before midnight for a change. Seems to be working well; I don't have to put them into the dryer in the middle of the night.
	♥ 11:41pm efd: I have to admit I'm intrigued by the concept of "mid-week clothes."
	11:41pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Mazel Tov!
	♥ 11:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: I usually run a load on the weekend and start off with all clean clothes on Monday. Then I run another load in the middle of the work week. "Mid-week clothes" was probably not the best phrasing. Time now to pour a Mazel Tov cocktail to celebrate.
	11:49pm kWitch: What is that track you're playing between sets? It's got the groove.
	♥ 11:52pm efd: Thanks for the explanation, KfHP! kWitch, the talkover music is a loop of "Saturday Night Fever" by the Lordz of Brooklyn, from the early '90s, which includes a sample of the Guess Who's "American Woman."
	♥ 12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, EFD. Dutchess County, NY, was spared. Yay, me!
