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.

Good evening. Nice night to pack up a vinyl mailing. I've really grown to love this Cute Lepers album. You're reminding me to put it back into the car. (They will officially follow the Sex Pistols.) |

General Johnson::Meet Sergent Schwantz. Actually, they are better than a lot of that musical corner. |

Hey Evan! Funny, for some reason I always thought that General Johnson was a CHairmen of the Board record. Just goes to show. | |

Wed. 4/24/13 9:19pm
efd:
Hi Loretta! Barkevious, thanks for posting that link - nice to see the donations rolling in over the past few days. |

'ello folks @Stevel are you familier with The Briefs some of the guys from Cute Lepers |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:24pm
Stevel:
joe: I am now. Thanks. But, do they have backup singers? |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:26pm
joe:
No and they do tend to lean towards a more humorus side. Good stuff though |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:26pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
@EFD Pretty inspiring. Not a Lotta folks I know were loudfans. |

Hello friends. A bit late but I made it. Kids sleeping...hopefully they stay that way |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:30pm
Ralphine:
I played that Stereolab song for a friend of mine when it first came out and asked him to identify the group, and he guessed Inspiral Carpets, which I thought was weird given that he had never heard the song or heard of Stereolab before. | |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:31pm
Stevel:
joe: Humorous is good. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:40pm

very much looking forward to seeing this band when they come to New York. was absolutely crazy about their first album. |

wow love the wax idols track |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:42pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
While Peter Murphy does time for dui and meth possession, this Wax Idols will do fine. Nice mugshot. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:48pm
Stevel:
This Wax idols video is flawed but pretty f-ing amazing. Same song. Fierce. Spacy. Melodic. www.youtube.com... |

Hot Dog I wish I had a ticket for tomorrow night....ratz. | |

Sparky:
Oh man this is painful...Evan have mercy...ha ha. | |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 9:57pm
Stevel:
How big of a venue are they playing? |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:00pm
Chop Scott:
Sparks are at the Highline Ballroom! See you there... | |
|
|
♥
Wed. 4/24/13 10:00pm

Stevel i think its around 6-800 capacity |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:03pm
Mike Napoli:
Dude, Highline. Get with the program! | |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:06pm

Wed. 4/24/13 10:06pm

Yeah I didn't know they were playing Philly tonight too and there were still tickets left |
|

♥
Wed. 4/24/13 10:07pm
steve:
are you gonna play the airhorn in lieu of clapping?? |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:07pm
efd:
I'd probably get thrown out. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:08pm
G:
Probably :p |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:08pm
efd:
And thank you Chop Scott and Mr. Napoli for setting me straight on the venue! I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with that. |

Wed. 4/24/13 10:11pm
Holly in NC:
Hi EFD! fwiw, native folks from Connecticut really, really do not like being called tri-staters. We're New Englanders, damnit. Great Chris Stamey song. #Barkevious, thanks for Miller family fund link. Interesting interview w Hether of Wax Idols here: www.emusic.com... |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:13pm
efd:
whoops! Sorry, New Englanders. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:14pm
joe:
@ Holly fine be like that we'll let PA be part of our group then ;) |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:15pm
joe:
For those that have not seen B.A.L.L will be doing a reunion show at Electric Ballroom or maybe this only excites me. :) |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:16pm
Holly in NC:
Also huge props to Jozef Becker for setting up Miller fund - Have I ever mentioned how much I love Thin White Rope? And how they (including Jozef) played 1 of best shows I've ever seen to just 5 people? |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:17pm
Holly in NC:
@joe no, that IS exciting! |

Holly in NC:
EFD, were you able to get a copy of the Trouble in Mind 4way RSD 7"? |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:24pm
efd:
Not personally, but it is en route thanks to a well-placed listener. A couple of well-placed listeners, actually! |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:24pm
efd:
(Joe Belock is getting the other one.) |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:27pm
Holly in NC:
Looking forward to hearing it :-) |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:27pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
@EFD and the elusive Academy Fight Song 7" remains ever elusive, wonderful cheesy keyboard sound and all? |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:30pm
Aharon:
Hello, fellow comment-board creepies! Pete Galub's playing this Saturday night at Littlefield in Brooklyn. He puts on a good show. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:35pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
I can make your hair grow where? |

Wed. 4/24/13 10:37pm
amEdeo:
Evan, do you know where the whole "Two for tuesday" thing originated? |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:38pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
Radio hell. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:38pm
efd:
I always associate it with WNEW-FM from way back when, but I don't know if they were the first to do it. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:40pm
amEdeo:
@Shabazz: Haw. @efd: Hmm. Thanks! I feel strangely compelled to get to the bottom of this... |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:41pm
Loretta:
yeah, WNEW! |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:49pm
Pete from Boston (and NJ):
WNEW and 92.3 K-Rock did it. I think Three-for-Thursday came later. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:49pm
Pete from Boston (and NJ):
Say what you will about WNEW, but Scott Muni's voice taught me that rock 'n' roll was actually important. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:50pm
Holly in NC:
WPLR (New Haven) MAY have done it ... I listened to a lot of NYC stations also |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:51pm
Holly in NC:
By mid 80s in Western Mass, ubiquitous |
|

Wed. 4/24/13 10:52pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
...Deniz Tek song reminds me of Sonic Youth a bit... |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:53pm
Pete from Boston (and NJ):
Re: "native folks from Connecticut really, really do not like being called tri-staters. We're New Englanders, damnit." I always figured this to depend on the part of CT. Hartford is the Yankees/Red Sox dividing line. As a decades-long CT-crosser, I can't imagine anyone southwest of New Haven having too much of a case for not being a tri-stater. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:53pm
Pete from Boston (and NJ):
Holly, you a WMass-er? |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:53pm
Mike Sin:
I think "two for tuesdays," at least in NYC, might actually go back to WPLJ-FMin the late '70s, IIRC. | |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:55pm
Pete from Boston (and NJ):
I only really knew rock WPLJ from (mesmerizing, as a kid) TV commercials. By the time I tuned regularly in it was Power 95. |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:55pm
Rickwaukee:
If it's got to be clean it's got to be tied ? | |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:58pm
efd:
Pete, I'm just going to quietly edit your comment so it says _Scott_ Muni, as you intended, instead of Paul Muni. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:58pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
This Goodman is great. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 10:59pm
Holly in NC:
@Pete - Born & bred JUST SW of New Haven CT (Milford, well before it became a suburb of fucking Greenwich - my whole lower-middle class neighborhood's been razed to make way for executive condos) and yeah, we were New Englanders. Then went to college & lived in WMass, which is where my heart is, really. Northampton. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:02pm
Stevel:
Good thing the Hot Nun track ended. My dog is looking desperate. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:04pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
If this is the wimps of let's go home and be boring, we may have a new Shabazz household favorite. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:07pm
efd:
@Barkevious, that song isn't on the Repeat album, but I'm 96% certain it's the same Wimps. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:07pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
Top notch. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:08pm
Stevel:
The dog is starting to become irate with me. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:10pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
I take it this is related to the Fast Product comp rotting in me basement? |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:11pm
Holly in NC:
@Pete - BYE, Milford was pretty much split 50 Yankees, 40 Red Sox, 10 Mets. I am personally a Yankee fan (Thanks, Dad!) as well as a New Englander. Also thanks to Dad I root for Giants not Pats or Jets. No one I knew cared about basketball (severe culture shock coming to NC). Whalers of course! |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:11pm
Holly in NC:
@Stevel, take the dog out. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:12pm
Pete from Boston (and NJ):
Ah, yes, Scott Muni. Sorry, been a few years. |
|

Wed. 4/24/13 11:12pm

|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:15pm
Pete from Boston (and NJ):
Holly -- I am a UMass 2nd gen, only left there by circumstance and not exactly choice. The biggest Giants fans I've known (growing up in NJ) were pre-Pats New Englanders from when the Giants were the New England team. I still love that there were people who hung onto their identity after the AFL/NFL tried to replace it. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:15pm
Holly in NC:
I do love Durham. Durham is a great, great place. And my subprime mortgage payment for 2BR house in 2013 is still less than rent I was paying for 1BR apt in Northampton in 1990. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:17pm
Droll:
AZ, [gasping -- breathless] Where do I get a Tarkus Cake?!?! I so love the new ticket bumper, EFD. |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:20pm
Holly in NC:
But regardless of my deep & sincere love of Durham I hope end my days in either the Pioneer Valley or SE Rhode Island because I am, indeed a damn Yankee. |
|

Wed. 4/24/13 11:23pm
Stevel:
Gnod is getting play on a bunch of WFMU shows. I would approve that message. |
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:26pm
Rickwaukee:
I've played Gnip Gnop against Gnod. Their music is very gnood. | |
|
|
Wed. 4/24/13 11:26pm
Holly in NC:
Enjoying Gnod. |

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
Marty McSorley said he'd get into Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones if they'd use Metal music. - Likewise - I feel the Godzilla/Daikaiju people should use something like this Gnod... |
