Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

of course, if we were broadcasting from the 2nd floor I would be running into the record library to pull whatever Nederbiet collections i could find.
And that Waterpipes & Dykes comp.
And then I'd be pretty much out of ideas.

Postcard from Holland, by Adrian Belew (who I've got tix to see tomorrow night, gonna bootleg it, too), and Pass that Dutch, by Missy Elliot... There's a Hum tune with Dutch spoken at the end, forget the name...
That'd be a cool show to do!

I was wondering how long you could keep it going :)
There's also Eduardo Bennato's sort-of-rap "Ellogio all follia" based on the work of Erasmus of Rotterdam. Kind of a stretch.
(Don't ask me how I know about that one)

Is it me, or does When Things Go Wrong's opening riff sound like Born in Xixax slooowed waay down (minus what would then be truly spooky vocals)? I bet Nina Hagen was a Robin Lane fan.

efd- continuing a conversation from a bunch of weeks ago, the other AM top 40 station in Boston in the '60's through the mid '70's was 1510 WMEX. Home of Arnie Woo Woo Ginsburg.

Hearing "Use Me" reminded me of Honeycut, a group that made an overlooked album a couple of years ago. Maybe Withers influenced them.

Ooops, I meant to say "GREAT overlooked album."
Also: Hey, it's Bryce! He can even make button-pushing exciting.

"This is a test. For the next 60 seconds, we will be testing our largest thermonuclear device on your home town. This is only a test!"
Seriously, those EAS tests are a royal pain, are they not?
