WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from February 27, 2019

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from February 27, 2019

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.

February 27, 2019: last pre-marathon show, with no live band :(

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

	9:01pm steveL: Good Lord Almighty!
	9:04pm On the Yazoo: That got my attention !! Hey all
	9:07pm steveL: I would have loved Sunset Bombers. A year earlier than I guessed. Might explain the bits of sonic edge that might have led me to call them “punk”. In fairness, that was a pretty broad category in late 70s Denver.
	9:10pm steveL: Cool drumming on Europeans.
	9:15pm steveL: Disco/Rock believers? Mostly present, I presume.
	9:17pm efd: if not here, where?
	9:17pm Quasi Mojo: EFD, if you ever create a t-shirt premium, that slogan goes on the shirt.
	9:21pm On the Yazoo: I remember that late 80's cheap vinyl "hissing" grrr

	9:53pm jmd: Terrific jackson politick.

	10:05pm efd: how much snow are you expecting, ashestoashes?
	10:07pm ashestoashes: Maybe 4-5 inches.
	10:09pm ashestoashes: 7" is an ep of snow, 12 inches is a long playing storm.
	10:14pm efd: seems like a CD's worth of snow is no big deal by Vermont standards
	10:17pm Julie M: It doesn't snow like it used to in Vermont. Why, in MY day...
	10:18pm efd: ha, hi Julie!
	10:20pm ashestoashes: Some day it will all be digital snow. Isnow.
	10:20pm Julie M: Hi, efd. I could imagine listening to this Modern Nature song with snow falling outside tonight. But I sure couldn't imagine shoveling it...
	10:22pm ashestoashes: One tends to shovel it listening to the frenetics of Clay Pigeon.
	10:23pm ashestoashes: At night you just listen to modern nature and watch it fall.
	10:23pm listener 126464: yeah this is nice
	10:23pm Julie M: True, true, ashestoashes. Enjoy the snow this eve, for tomorrow ye shall shovel.

	11:32pm efd: holy schamoley Sheila, that is some high praise indeed coming from you! Thanks!
	11:37pm twinoak170: Boom Boom!
	11:45pm herb.nyc: I tuned into last set, niiice. Friend sez Dark Blue is at st vitus on Friday. (I may do monochrome set at Monty; never seed them before)
