WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 20, 2017

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from September 20, 2017

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.

September 20, 2017: dipping into my personal New Bin, plus a set in memory of Josh Schwartz
