WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 17, 2018

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from January 17, 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.

January 17, 2018: allow me to be the last person to wish you a happy new year
