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.

Android just ate my entire last (short) comment, not a fan of how update works w my phone. Assuming my phone is problem, is there way I can switch back to old app?

sorry Holly, I have no idea. I'd suggest contacting Station Mgr Ken to let him know about the problems you're having.

Uncle Michael:

Good idea.

Anyone else with the Android app seeing that phenomenon?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:20pm
Alex of Chicago:

I hadn't noticed, but haven't hit the archives in a bit. Overall, the appearance is much improved. And playback has seemed more stable, but that's just my impression. Hope they add the ability to login in the future.

Alex of Chicago:

Navigating to a particular spot in an archived show is also better, especially those 3 hour shows. ;)

Droll:

Last week at lunch someone told me they were getting rid of their Android because they were so frustrated with (bad) updates being crammed down their throat.

By way of comparison, I listened to UM swear at the FCC flawlessly from the archives just this afternoon on my iPhone (which has a pitifully small screen and it's own software treadmill)
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
Uncle Michael:

I'd love it if someone could check. For example, on two different devices, any archives from earlier today are all listed as being from May 13.
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
Uncle Michael:

Dorry about that, Droll. I should be nicer to the FCC.
Avatar 10:25pm
Whooda:

You better be nice to the FCC Uncle Michael, no doubt they have an order for millions of rounds of ammunition, just like the FDA and Dept. of Education.
Avatar 10:26pm
Holly in NC:

@UM, yes - and many other issues. NOT a fan of update, and @Alex I've had exact opposite experience re play back (so bad that I mostly listen on tunein radio ) - but again I start w assumption that problem is my phone, as seems we all are having wildly variant experiences. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, fwiw. Which generally rocks, esp. for a free phone! :-)

Indeed, Holly. I didn't really discover the full album until a few years after its release. My brother had it on cassette and once I started listening I couldn't stop.

Great show as usual, Evan. Thanks for turning me onto the Bok Bok single. Now that I've seen the original cover on Discogs, I'm sure I flipped past it more than a few times at record shops/fairs. Grrrrr!

P-90, yeah, that album's pretty great! Never heard it before the reissue.
