The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 25, 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.

	♥ 9:26pm efd: and my fringe benefit too!
	♥ 9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Indeed grand to rely on this 'place' smack in the middle of the week. (Saw 'Addams Family' in Paris: Not sure 'Mercredi' has quite the Goth tone of 'Wednesday'...)
	9:27pm miketp: Wonder what the situation is up to
	♥ 9:28pm Uncle Michael: Kind of you to say that, Evan. It's good to be here.
	9:29pm V Priceless: 'Martian Dance' was a record fair score, no?

	9:40pm Bubba: Cool tune
	♥ 9:40pm efd: "Hello Hello Hello" is on the same LP! But it's on Infinity, not Private Stock.
	♥ 9:41pm efd: although I of all people can certainly understand mixing up those labels
	9:42pm Scraps deSelby: oops!
	♥ 9:45pm Uncle Michael: I just became aware of very bad weather west of me, headed this way.
	♥ 9:46pm efd: uh-oh! Stay safe, Michael!
	9:46pm Scraps deSelby: I very much remember, on Private Stock, Starbuck's "Moonlight Feels Right", which has an awful "ha ha" in it. The definition of "smug", that "ha ha".
	♥ 9:47pm Uncle Michael: I have a basement!
	9:53pm Scraps deSelby: Or the spelling should probably be "heh heh"....
	♥ 9:56pm efd: that "heh heh" is one of THEE WORST moments in recorded history. And yes, that is indeed on the Private Stock label.
	10:00pm Scraps deSelby: The whole vocal delivery of that song, really.
	10:01pm geezerette: Uncle Michael, here's a tune to keep your spirits up in that basement. www.youtube.com...
	10:02pm geezerette: Hey Howdy y'all ! :)

	10:10pm geezerette: U.M.'my pleasure! :)
	♥ 10:12pm Stevel: UM: As they say, ITS HEADED RIGHT AT YOU!! Keep your head down! I think my uncle, down in Pittsburg KS is safe for now.
	10:20pm MONEYBAG$: Hey, does anyone know if the station streams through any other radio apps besides the official one and TuneIn?
	10:20pm Scraps deSelby: At least Maby was still playing on Laughter & Lust. (A very good album.) (Really.)
	10:21pm fleep: MONEYBAG$ also on vTuner.
	♥ 10:23pm Stevel: Looking forward to A Giant Dog live. Where are they from?
	♥ 10:27pm efd: @Stevel they're from Austin
	10:28pm Scraps deSelby: Okay, Maby is still playing on Joa Jackson's albums right up to 2015's Fast Forward.
	10:29pm MONEYBAG$: thanks fleep
	♥ 10:31pm efd: oh cool, thanks for the research Scraps! Shows you how much I've been paying attention to Joe Jackson lately... :(
	♥ 10:31pm Layet Johnson: Hey Evan, do you have a link for the 1-800-Band show that I can share online?
	10:35pm geezerette: gro-o-o-o-o-o-o-vy...:D
	♥ 10:37pm Stevel: Thanks efd. Of course they're from Austin!
	♥ 10:45pm efd: @Layet there isn't really anything to link to at the moment! Probably the best link is to my playlist page: wfmu.org... That's where the blurb will be posted next week, and where the playlist link will be posted after the show airs.
	10:50pm geezerette: thunderboys remind me of ten things at once but sound like themselves anyway. like it!!!
	10:54pm JakeGould: @MONEYBAG$: Well, there might be other services that “stream” WFMU but all they do is act as a directory for audio streams. Meaning, you might find another app to use but they would still connect to—and use—the same stream URLs the app and the website do.
	11:19pm JakeGould: You measly egg suckers! Shut the front door! Forget about you!
	11:20pm Scraps deSelby: Love the O'Neill brothers
	♥ 11:26pm chris_in_space: Yay Pollard
	♥ 11:27pm chris_in_space: @efd, I'm loving the latest GbV record. Just sayin.
	♥ 11:44pm Uncle Michael: Looks like heavy rain and maybe a a little hail is about to make an appearance here. The tornadoes are staying to the south of me.
	♥ 11:47pm efd: that sounds relatively tolerable.
	♥ 11:49pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, not death from above or anything...
	11:50pm JakeGould: @UncleMichael: Stop sinning. Solved!
	♥ 11:52pm Uncle Michael: At this point, unless I'm being smited for sloth or gluttony, there's not much to worry about.
	11:55pm JakeGould: I think I have sloth issues but my gluttony has been solved by a bout of illness a month or so back. Smaller portions and healthier choices!™ (one of those guys I am now).
	♥ 11:56pm Uncle Michael: king gizzard & the lizard wizard didn't call their album "blizzard?"
	♥ 11:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks the pogrom, Evan.
