Options The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 8, 2010 Options

efd's avatar View efd's profile Options

Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s: Rediscovering the forgotten rockers, revisiting the once-hated disco beats, replaying the power-pop favorites. Next: copious amounts of new releases and occasional live bands. Also: I’m the biggest Nick Gilder fan on WFMU.

Options December 8, 2010: THE SIGHTS live set!

Listen to this show: | Add or read comments

Detroit's Sights return for their fifth appearance on WFMU, following the release of their great new album Most of What Follows Is True (Alive). Frontman Eddie Baranek says he's trying to marry the two worlds of the Oblivians and the Beatles, and the result is powerful songs with hooks and harmonies aplenty. Listen now, or forever hold your peace!

hi Evan Funk Davies - this is Billy Funk Jam tuned in and loving the music.....especially the guitar riffs and those infectious power pop selections of yours. ...>>>Hey Evan I heard there's some extra helium and balloons lying around. Any chance of you taking an impromptu WFMU midnight Jersey City Balloon Ride from out the back?
  Wed. 12/8/10 11:44pm efd:

ha! I don't think so, Billy! I'm happy to stay firmly on the ground (not to mention indoors!)

Great to have you listening, thanks for checking in!
  Wed. 12/8/10 11:44pm Joe:

c'mon Evan, all Billy wants is to get you a little high
  Wed. 12/8/10 11:46pm efd:
