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.

JakeGould:
@RevRabbit: It’s a Julian Cope collab from the early, early days, “Echo & the Bunnymen's debut single "The Pictures on My Wall" was released on Bill Drummond & David Balfe's Zoo Records in May 1979, the B-side being the McCulloch/Cope collaboration "Read It in Books" (also recorded by The Teardrop Explodes approximately six months later as the B-side of their final Zoo Records single "Treason"). McCulloch has subsequently denied that Cope had any involvement with the writing of this song on more than one occasion.” |

Holly in NC:
'Crocodiles' was 1 of the 1st "cool" lps I ever acquired, based solely on a good review in Rolling Stone (!) My much older sister had to go to New Haven to procure for me, quite a big deal. |
Wed. 3/25/15 9:11pm

I love that band Thundermug! Evan, how do you do that? | |
![]() |
![]() - yeah but I mean his voice ; maybe Ian McCulloch didn't sound like himself yet (even when spelled right)... |
![]() |
![]() Ah Ah Ah, y'all. |

Wed. 3/25/15 9:28pm
Holly in NC:
Tommy James' autobiography "Me, the Mob & the Music" is quite a fun read. |
![]() |
![]() agreed, Holly! I really enjoyed it. Great interview with Dave The Spazz too. |
![]() |
![]() Thanks for that reminder, Holly and efd. Just reserved Me, the Mob & the Music at my library. Yay, WFMU book club! (I've yet to start the Stiff Records book, but it is near at hand.) |
Wed. 3/25/15 9:34pm
P-90:
"Evan'sTheme"! I actually remember that one. Yeah, Dave the Spazz's interview with Tommy James was primo, I was just recently thinking I should go back and revisit it in the archives. Highly recommended if anyone missed it the first time! | |

Wed. 3/25/15 10:09pm
Holly in NC:
REALLY like this Young Guv album. |
![]() |
![]() This track has a "Sentimental Lady" acoustic guitar thing going on at the beginning. It fooled me. |
![]() |
![]() same, Holly! |
![]() |
![]() and something else too, UM, that I can't put my finger on right now -- but when I figure it out you will hear the segue! |
![]() |
![]() Well, I am completely enjoying this Nic Hessler... when it first started I was reminded of the Shoes. |
![]() |
![]() I swear, I thought we were about to hear the dulcet tones of Bob Welch. |
![]() |
![]() that Nic Hessler was a great new bin discovery for me tonight. |

![]() back announcing is The Way. |
![]() |
![]() But ... last cut and backwards, or first cut and forwards? |
![]() |
Wed. 3/25/15 10:38pm
Holly in NC:
LAST CUT BACKWARDS I HAVE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT THIS |
![]() |
Wed. 3/25/15 10:39pm
JakeGould:
FEELINGS! |
![]() |
![]() Last cut backwards is helpful when dealing with listeners distracted by the intake of various stimulants. (Nothing more than feelings.) |
![]() |
![]() YES, @Holly! I'm a backwards-back-announcing partisan. Always back-announce starting with the LAST track and GO BACK FROM THERE. That way if somebody tunes in part of the way through and is operating heavy machinery, having sex, or doing something else precluding checking the playlist, they can count back and figure out which track was which. |
![]() |
![]() last cut; back. anything else is a severe ass pain for folks who want to note a song and are listening the old-fashioned way. |
![]() |
![]() I hardly ever check the playlist during sex. |

My exception regarding the last cut back rule is Steinski - he did it forward but it was so beautifully done it worked :) |

@Uncle Michael: Sore. I do have staples in my stomach and it makes me look like a complete badass. But not as badass as Dave Hill. |

For those who don't know...my gallbladder burst Monday morning. It felt like I was simultaneously being stabbed and set on fire. |

Wed. 3/25/15 10:48pm
Holly in NC:
I wouldn't make love with someone who'd mind if we counted back to figure out a cool song. But I mean really, ideally love = vinyl. Or waves. |

Wed. 3/25/15 11:01pm
BadGuyZero:
They had to old-school slice me open to get mine out, hence the staples. The surgeon said it was turning gangrenous before it burst. He said he's never seen a gallbladder in as bad of shape as mine. |

![]() That was pretty bold for 1985, no? I wonder if it had distribution problems, etc. |

![]() They were on the same label as Sylvester, so I don't think they would have had a lot of trouble reaching an audience. |
