The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from June 29, 2016

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.

Upcoming events:

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)

Listener comments!
	9:04pm P-90: Back to the '70s.. Hey efd!
	9:07pm JakeGould: Evan… What is this? www.instagram.com...
	9:07pm Figgsrock: Man, this Moxy vocalist sounds like the brother of Mike Reno from Loverboy.
	9:07pm geezerette: Hello EFD,P-90 and funky stragglers!
	9:08pm efd: @figgsrock Same country, too!
	9:08pm efd: @jakegould you'll find out soon enough...
	9:09pm Figgsrock: Wait, it IS Mike Reno. Holy crap!
	9:09pm JakeGould: @efd: Okay.
	9:10pm Alex of Chicago: Still not used to the show being on during daylight.
	9:11pm efd: @Figgsrock in his Rynoski days! :D
	9:11pm Figgsrock: EFD, I honestly had no idea it was the real Mike Reno when I posted that initial comment. Praise Wikipedia for hipping me to that fact.
	9:13pm efd: that won't last too long, Alex!
	9:13pm JakeGould: And the backside of that LP: www.instagram.com...
	9:16pm efd: now playing!
	9:17pm JakeGould: YES!!!!!
	9:17pm Bob Ham: This is even better than I imagined. Wow.
	9:18pm JakeGould: This is exactly like finding out your science teacher and social studies teacher have a band at the last student assembly.
	9:19pm Figgsrock: No. Way. This reminds me of Marty and Elaine from The Dresden in L.A.
	9:19pm cee: i wish my last name was finefrock
	9:20pm efd: UPDATE: That We Have Two album is currently listed on eBay for $25.95.
	9:20pm efd: (that's a Buy It Now price)
	9:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...spirited...take it over the original...
	9:21pm Figgsrock: Please tell me you got it for like $2.
	9:23pm JakeGould: @efd: With your permission, may I post a transcription of the back cover “blurb” from “We Have Two?”
	9:23pm efd: Let me read it on the air first.
	9:24pm efd: @figgs, it might even have been $1.
	9:26pm JakeGould: @efd: Mama mia! I hope you have a glass of water near you when you do that!
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it makes me miss Jason Elbogen's program - tho' 'We Have Two' maybe isn't exactly that - he was into this aspect of collecting....
	9:34pm JakeGould: Best details “We Have Two” comes from a Japanese (of course) LP store website. www.groovenutrecords.net...
	9:38pm Bob Ham: My hope is that a member of We Have Two calls into WFMU after hearing himself on the radio.
	9:40pm JakeGould: I transcribed that so Google can give “We Have Two” some extra whatever points: * From someone that has spent many years in the entertainment field, it is a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity to make a few comments on “We Have Two” and their exciting new album, since all the songs contained in it are part of their regular live performances. The first time that I heard of their show, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of good overall sound generated by just two people, and, also, by their degree of professionalism. An add bonus is a good clean show — These guys are gentlemen, both on and off the stage. I personally enjoy the mix of songs they have selected for this album and find it great for sitting back listening, or for dancing with your favorite partner. You can dance cheek-to-cheek to the soft music of “Don’t You Love Me Anymore” or get your circulation going with “Good Hearted Woman”, then sit back and reminisce with the good solid “50’s Medley.” I certainly hope you enjoy this album as I have.

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!
