WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 20, 2015

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 20, 2015

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.

May 20, 2015: skipping over the mic breaks is recommended
