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.

Watching KJ on the Whats This For tour on crutches in a NUTTY mob is a good memory. |

john:
New Lloyd elpee is getting great reviews (and I'm a proud kickstarter backer), return to the sound of early '90s solo material, but I actually like Broken Record from a couple years ago better. Well worth checking out, as was the one before that, Antidepressant. | |

@efd - looking forward! Sorry to whine, I am truly constantly in a state of shock & awe re wfmu's awesome technology. |
