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.

longish:
Hey -- thanks Mr. Davies. I thought they might've been earlier, perhaps mid-70s, sorta proto-New Wave. | |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 9:40pm
efd:
Understandable thought, longish! I guess they were straight-up new wave, without the proto! :) |

hey CC! And everyone who came before |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:07pm
efd:
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. |

Wed. 3/2/16 10:08pm

Julie:
very chill show this evening, and VERY chilly out by me right now on the other side of the hudson |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:09pm
coelacanth:
Ha! i mean Aleja!! (in my mind i think "aleha"!) |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:14pm
Alejandroool:
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. |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:15pm
Alejandroool:
Hudson! We got a big snow dump here in Toronto, mild temps though |
|

Wed. 3/2/16 10:17pm
Alejandroool:
efd - missed the first set but good on the Dany Laj - him and his band are very nice people! |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:17pm
coelacanth:
(...and Claw! calls you "drooolio"!) - maybe i should just ask you? -i always thought it was "al-e-han-dro". |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:19pm
coelacanth:
i thought maybe cait brennan had a surprising (to me) gaelic pronunciation - like cian nugent. |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:23pm
Alejandroool:
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? |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:26pm
coelacanth:
Maria Muldaur has that covered. |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 10:29pm
efd:
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... |

ice in bklyn:
I don't have a story for the godfathers, but that's a good song | |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 11:37pm
Alejandroool:
This is the kind of distortion that reminds me of first playing guitar in my parent's (and other parent's) basements |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 11:44pm
Alejandroool:
Sloan's got one US date fwiw: 04/08 St. Paul, MN - Turf Club |
|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 11:46pm
efd:
oh yeah! That blended right in with the Canadian dates in the list I was looking at. |

|
|
Wed. 3/2/16 11:54pm
