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.

August 11, 2009: Mink DeVille tribute, with guests Ben Edmonds AND Ted Leo! Plus, the best Midnight Ticket Oasis ever.
Willy DeVille, leader of the band Mink DeVille and a critically acclaimed solo artist, died late last week of pancreatic cancer. While they wouldn't be considered a "punk" band today, Mink DeVille were regulars at CBGB in the early/mid-'70s, alongside the Ramones, Television and Talking Heads. Ben Edmonds, a former editor for Creem, signed the band to Capitol Records in 1976 and subsequently paired them with legendary producer/arranger Jack Nitzsche. Ben shares his memories of Willy and provides his unique perspective on how a soul-blues-roots-Latin band fit in -- and didn't -- with the dawn of the NYC punk rock scene.
PLUS, as if that weren't enough, the wonderful Ted Leo pops in to perform a heartfelt version of Mink DeVille's "Let Me Dream If I Want To."
