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.

![]() |
![]() I saw Heaven 17 at the Music tastes Good fest in Long Beach last month, and they were fantastic. |

![]() IT SHOULD BE THE A SIDE |
![]() |
![]() I cannot believe these songs are 35+ years old! Or that EFD and I were college students 35+ years ago! So pledge for that? Yeah, do it! |

Stand up. Don't lower your eyes. Don't look the other Way. Be the troublemaker. Shatter the glass ceiling. Even if it is uncomfortable. As Stanton once said, The best protection any woman can have is courage. Why don't you get a job, supposed "yippie," instead of tormenting women. | |

Wow a blast from the past; Brenda’s Iron Sledge... War dance... Played all these tunes very loud in my 79 Dodge Power Wagon many moons ago. | |

![]() Hey efd and Gaylord. I was just driving home and love what you guys just said about pledging and volunteering time. I have been a 30yr listener and supporter. I have been volunteering weekly on the Wake N Bake show since the summer. Very rewarding to help with more than just donating money. And both myself and girlfriend find swag for life a much easier way to donate. |
![]() |
![]() there is so much heat being laid on tonight's show |

![]() @medson: Thank you for letting us and the listeners know about your continued support of what we do here! And, just as important, thank you for your contributions to WFMU, with both time and money! |

Every time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for every other woman. To me in turn this means, every time she chooses to look the other way or remain silent, it has an impact on every other woman coming after her. | |

Expanding on the Roxy sax theory, don't forget that some of the artists who mere the most influential on the post-punk/new wave era bands used sax - not just Roxy but also The Stooges and Bowie | |
