WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 22, 2020

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 22, 2020

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.

January 22, 2020: Berkeley Record Store Finds! (SF record store finds are in transit, coming next week!)
