WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from July 10, 2007

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from July 10, 2007

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.

July 10, 2007: a show for [some of] the birds; plus, weigh in on the Rubinoos v. Avril copyright lawsuit

Listener comments!
	2:33am (mta) Tony: When I arrived home a little while ago, I checked my mail before taking the elevator up. Opening a package revealed a CD I bought last week, "England's Glory." I walked in the door, started the computer and popped the disc in the player. Something was wrong. MusicMatch Jukebox was playing "City of Fun" but I hadn't yet switched over to the CD player yet. By default, my player plays the fmu audio stream. So switching back and forth between the File and the CD, the same song was playing, so I was sure something went screwey, after all, how can fmu be playing the SAME SONG AT THE SAME TIME that I'm playing? Well, that's what was going on and it truly blew my mind. A million songs to choose from, and we're playing the same song at the same time. I thought I was still tripping from the '70's!
	11:24am oddjob: Re Rubinoos vs Avril vs Stones... I think the handclaps are why the Lavigne version sounds so much like the Rubinoos version. Probably not close enough to count in court. Maybe it's an homage? Anyway, the best part is the comment war on YouTube.
	4:59pm Frank: Re: The article in Der Spiegel Perhaps the witticisms are funnier in German. Most things are.
