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.

Hey -- thanks Mr. Davies. I thought they might've been earlier, perhaps mid-70s, sorta proto-New Wave. | |
![]() |
![]() Understandable thought, longish! I guess they were straight-up new wave, without the proto! :) |
![]() |
![]() Nice to hear Echo & the Bunnymen. |

What Julie said.. (about shana falana). |
![]() |
![]() Shana! |
![]() |
![]() ...and hi Evan and Funklettes |
![]() |
![]() hey CC! And everyone who came before |
![]() |
![]() hi Julie! I saw you too, way up in the front from my spot way in the back! And then I had to drop off my premium master and hightail it upstairs to get ready for the show. |
![]() |
![]() and catch-up greets to RRN63, Alejandrool, Bklyn kid, coel, JakeG, Loretta, dd, Chris M (you devil you), and everyone else out there! Thanks for tuning in tonight. |
![]() |
![]() Greetings Aleha! |
![]() |
![]() Hola! Of course, helping me get work done, EFD |
![]() |
![]() very chill show this evening, and VERY chilly out by me right now on the other side of the hudson |
![]() |
![]() Ha! i mean Aleja!! (in my mind i think "aleha"!) |
![]() |
![]() that's how I see it also. Actually a few people like to say the last half like Handreaux (Hon-dro/Han-dro). Spanish speakers prob say "Ale". Used to go by Alex a lot. |
![]() |
![]() Hudson! We got a big snow dump here in Toronto, mild temps though |

Since someone said "chill", the Chills will be here for NY Pop Fest. Yeah. (Oops, I don't have their new record) |
![]() |
![]() efd - missed the first set but good on the Dany Laj - him and his band are very nice people! |
![]() |
![]() (...and Claw! calls you "drooolio"!) - maybe i should just ask you? -i always thought it was "al-e-han-dro". |
![]() |
![]() i thought maybe cait brennan had a surprising (to me) gaelic pronunciation - like cian nugent. |
![]() |
![]() that's correct, cc - tho don't mind much what ppl wanna call me. |

Can we get naming rights to the ticket giveaway, Evan, during Marathon? |
![]() |
![]() Maria Muldaur has that covered. |
![]() |
![]() the ticket giveaway naming rights are available as far as I know (but it ain't cheap!) - should be in here somewhere: www.flickr.com... |
![]() |
![]() Cait is a friend of a friend, I'm glad she's getting lots of attention here! |
![]() |
![]() that's funny, she's a friend of a friend of mine too! |
![]() |
![]() Yay for cool friends! |

I don't have a story for the godfathers, but that's a good song | |
![]() |
![]() This is the kind of distortion that reminds me of first playing guitar in my parent's (and other parent's) basements |
![]() |
![]() Sloan's got one US date fwiw: 04/08 St. Paul, MN - Turf Club |
![]() |
![]() oh yeah! That blended right in with the Canadian dates in the list I was looking at. |
![]() |
![]() regarding twitter and facadebook ...i would if i did but i don't so i wont. |
![]() |
![]() fair enough! |
![]() |
![]() ...i am a big fan of the social-media air-horn though! |
![]() |
![]() I should offer that up for adoption during the marathon! Might be too late for this year, though. |
![]() |
![]() thx for the show efd - take it easy, all |
![]() |
![]() Ha! you should! -i wonder if Mary Wing has offered her bell for naming rights. |
