The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from March 14, 2018

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.

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)

Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)

March 14, 2018: MARATHON week 2 with special guest co-host NATE K!

It's my second and final show of this year's fundraising Marathon! WFMU is a completely independent, non-commercial, listener-supported radio station, and everyone who's on the air here does their show for free. We don't get paid! The money you generously pledge is used almost entirely for services and inanimate objects! (outside of a small and dedicated paid staff)

Please make a pledge NOW of $75 or more, or even better $10/month or more (I said or more), and you'll AUTOMATICALLY get my premium CD QUINTESSENTIAL: Starting With The Seventies V (pictured above), featuring 20 '70s shoulda-been classics, selected from my personal collection and lovingly digitized and sequenced just for you.

PLUS! Pledge $50 or more NOW -- or, even better, $10 a month! -- and get get in the running for my Grand Prize: the Friends Of EFD 7" 4-pack, featuring records from Terry Malts, Ultimate Painting, Zerodent, and Stag!
ONE lucky pledger will win FOUR 7-inch records at the end of tonight's show! Will it be you? Not unless you pledge $50 or more RIGHT NOW to get in the running! Pledge NOW before you forget! Thank you!
