The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 12, 2018

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.

December 12, 2018: live set from SAVAK! Plus a tribute to Pete Shelley.

	♥ 9:27pm efd: many of the earlier tracks were produced by "The other Martin," Martin Hannett!
	♥ 9:29pm TDK60: Buzzcocks. saw 'em once, at least!
	9:30pm DJ E: I consider "What Do I Get?" a near perfect song.
	♥ 9:31pm Quasi Mojo: @DJE agreed.
	9:32pm DJ E: Got to see The Buzzcocks twice about 4 years ago. Webster Hall with Titus Andronicus opening and Irving Plaza. Both shows were blast and I was surprised how youthful Shelley's voice was.

	10:18pm Hassan.the.eighth: Damn, missed the live set
	♥ 10:19pm Cooh John: GREAT show as always...
	10:28pm gw: Evan , last week I said to my lovely Emily - Evan has to wait a whole week to pay tribute to the fantastic Pete Shelley . You played all of his music , most for the first time in the New York area . The New Afternoon Show sst at the center of our new wave punk world . Thank you .
	♥ 10:32pm Hoboken Jack: I owned a Timex Sinclair but at age 14 was not yet familiar with Pete Shelley. In fact, Magazine would cross my radar first!
	♥ 10:39pm efd: gw, thanks so much for that comment. Pete Shelley's music was such an integral part of my college years... it was a tough loss for sure
	10:42pm Sir Richard Slouch: I had to take off three weeks from my radio show at WMUH in Allentown and Pete passes just as the stretch begins.
	♥ 10:43pm efd: oof, I feel your pain Sir Richard. Jack, I had a friend who had a KayPro, I think, but I don't remember knowing anyone with a Sinclair.
	♥ 10:45pm Hoboken Jack: That Cloud Nothings track was smoking!!
	♥ 10:46pm Aitch: Sinclair was an English thing, USA and here in OZ more likely to have a TRS 80 or Commodore 64 (Apple II if you were rich)
	11:40pm sufferwords: Buzzcocks were our band- almost like a private reserve - i got to hang etc. - open for them - a song for every phase of a love story - they were never anything but thrilling live - guess there’s something to be said for outlasting your hero’s - still it hurts to do so
	11:46pm DJ E: I'll never forget how that the Buzzcocks show at Webster Hall in 2014 had just as many "older" fans as there were late teen/early 20-somethings. Their appeal crossed generations.
	♥ 11:47pm Alex of Chicago: Brilliant show. I'm working, but I'll catch the rest tomorrow.
	11:48pm David Colangelo: Can hear Buzzcocks in 999, Robert Smith, many others....great musician....RIP Pete....
