The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from November 29, 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.

	♥ 9:22pm efd: me too, Ricky!

	9:24pm dbs: hello from Minnesota
	♥ 9:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and crew. I haven't experienced "Riff Raff" before. It's got some kick to it, dunnit?
	9:25pm Ricky: Boy, that was fun!
	♥ 9:26pm Alex of Chicago: This song makes me think of the way they danced in those 80's movies.
	♥ 9:27pm Alex of Chicago: Now I'm curious if there was a name for it.
	♥ 9:27pm medson: Losing so many way too young
	♥ 9:28pm Julie M: 59? WAY too young. Wikipedia says "of natural causes"? Eek.
	9:34pm Ricky: Spot on.
	♥ 9:46pm medson: I'm diggin this Sweet Apple
	♥ 9:47pm efd: this whole album is good, though this particular song is atypical.
	♥ 9:48pm medson: Im going to give it a listen
	♥ 9:53pm Quasi Mojo: I ask for pizza, you give me push back?
	♥ 9:54pm efd: "feature" I think
	♥ 9:55pm Quasi Mojo: I can relate more to the pizza version
	♥ 9:56pm efd: We each bring our own life experiences to the table when it comes to interpreting songs.
	♥ 9:58pm Julie M: All I know is, nobody better give me no pushback when I ask for pizza. But I like the song. You've played it before? Seems familiar.
	9:58pm Number Six: Good Evening, efd & all! Nice synth work on that Belbury Circle track.
	9:58pm Ajax: It took all of my strength to hold my fist down during Riff Raff - typically I will punch the air as hard as I can during that song but I was on the bus so I had to sit still and it was very challenging. My God, Powerage!
	♥ 9:58pm chris_in_space: Hey Funkospapiens. Just tuned in. Love the vibe of this 'new releases' show. Bummer about Keene and Young. Favourite AC/DC album is prb Powerage. Favourite Keene is "Ten Years After".
	♥ 10:02pm Kat in Chicago: Yay Bandcamp. I get a ton of stuff for my show on it too. Just followed you, EFD :)
	10:03pm Number Six: @efd: Thanks, that explains the synth work!
	♥ 10:06pm efd: @number six Exactly!
	♥ 10:07pm efd: The AC/DC cover band I was in once did a show where we just covered Powerage front to back. So much fun.
	♥ 10:11pm chris_in_space: What about the version of Rock and Roll Damnation on the If You Want Blood album? Good lord, that is rock and roll.
	10:11pm LeClam: Mick Trouble!!!
	♥ 10:12pm medson: @efd did the band have a clever name?
	♥ 10:13pm efd: @medson The Dirt Cheap. I'll leave it to you whether it was clever or not.
	10:14pm Number Six: @Julie M: re: medson's profile pic. Looks like he likes his retro sci-fi. It's a slightly altered still from a '50s flick called "The Deadly Mantis". I wonder how they ever got that carcass out of the tunnel.
	♥ 10:15pm medson: @efd I like it
	♥ 10:17pm Quasi Mojo: Driver 67 is a very reasonable download, if that motivates anyone to go for it
	♥ 10:19pm Julie M: I like your profile gif, too, Number Six. Medson's made me think of The Wicker Man, only with a praying mantis. And he always inserts himself into the scene. I like The Dirt Cheap for an AC/DC cover band, too.
	10:27pm Number Six: @Julie M: Thanks. :) The Wicker Man was a pretty good flick.
	♥ 10:31pm Cooh John: Didn't Persephones Bees have a release on Spoonful Records?
	♥ 10:33pm efd: certainly possible, I don't recall offhand though
	10:34pm Marc15: What?
	♥ 10:40pm Julie M: Wait. Wicker Mantis. A band name? Anybody? Anybody? Alright, I give up. Might be time for bed soon. But I sure have been enjoying the show, efd.
	10:42pm Number Six: It has possibilities. What type of music would they play?
	10:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I'm here to inform.
	♥ 10:51pm efd: uh-oh
	♥ 10:52pm efd: luckily I preemptively narc'ed on myself
	♥ 11:01pm Julie M: @Number Six, hell, I was thinking ahead of myself. I dunno what kind of music Wicker Mantis would play. And yet I do, but I can't tag it in words. Kind of like The Peep Tempel but not much like Beth Ditto.
	♥ 11:08pm Hoboken Jack: Teased us with a mic break! Hello all!
	♥ 11:09pm efd: hi there Jack, I guess your ears were burning!
	11:18pm medson: I met Walter Lure a few years ago. He was a nice dude.
	11:20pm Number Six: @Julie M: Not bad, I was definitely thinking something punk/post with either a female lead or just an all female group.
	11:34pm Ricky: Ace?
	♥ 11:35pm efd: well, that's what they want you to think...
	11:36pm Ricky: This is great.
	11:39pm emily:
	♥ 11:39pm efd: I just found out about that band... both their albums are worth checking out if you're into that sort of thing. (I am)
	♥ 11:40pm efd: speak up emily, I can't hear you. :)
	♥ 11:51pm Julie M: Someday perhaps there will be an occasion to mention bandcamp, Le Poisson Rouge, and The Bedazzler in the same sentence. I await that occasion. But for now, good night.
	♥ 11:55pm efd: haha, goodnight Julie!
	♥ 11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, efd. Good night.
	♥ 11:56pm efd: always my pleasure, Ken!
	12:00am Sean d: Evan Funke? on "the untitled action bronson show" on monday? viceland channel?
