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.

![]() Off to a brilliant start! |
![]() |
![]() 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.) |
![]() |
![]() Ooooo, wicked stereo on Mmoss. Lucky I started with headphones tonight. |
![]() |
![]() aww yeah |

Hey Evan! Funny, for some reason I always thought that General Johnson was a CHairmen of the Board record. Just goes to show. | |
![]() |
![]() Hi Loretta! Barkevious, thanks for posting that link - nice to see the donations rolling in over the past few days. |
![]() |
![]() This show is already veering violently from horizon to horizon. Please continue. |
![]() |
![]() 'ello folks @Stevel are you familier with The Briefs some of the guys from Cute Lepers |
![]() |
![]() joe: I am now. Thanks. But, do they have backup singers? |
![]() |
![]() No and they do tend to lean towards a more humorus side. Good stuff though |
![]() |
![]() @EFD Pretty inspiring. Not a Lotta folks I know were loudfans. |
![]() |
![]() Great first set, EFD. |
![]() |
![]() Hello friends. A bit late but I made it. Kids sleeping...hopefully they stay that way |
![]() 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. | |
![]() |
![]() joe: Humorous is good. |
![]() |
![]() 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 |
![]() |
![]() While Peter Murphy does time for dui and meth possession, this Wax Idols will do fine. Nice mugshot. |
![]() |
![]() This Wax idols video is flawed but pretty f-ing amazing. Same song. Fierce. Spacy. Melodic. www.youtube.com... |

Chop Scott:
Sparks are at the Highline Ballroom! See you there... | |

![]() Stevel i think its around 6-800 capacity |

![]() Yeah I didn't know they were playing Philly tonight too and there were still tickets left |
![]() |
![]() are you gonna play the airhorn in lieu of clapping?? |
![]() |
![]() I'd probably get thrown out. |
![]() |
Wed. 4/24/13 10:08pm
G:
Probably :p |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() 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... |
![]() |
![]() whoops! Sorry, New Englanders. |
![]() |
![]() @ Holly fine be like that we'll let PA be part of our group then ;) |
![]() |
![]() 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. :) |
![]() |
![]() 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? |
![]() |
![]() @joe no, that IS exciting! |
![]() |
![]() MadMagazine Stating the Obvious Dept. : ...My Goodness, this Jacco Gardner is well-realized PsychPop... |
![]() |
![]() EFD, were you able to get a copy of the Trouble in Mind 4way RSD 7"? |
![]() |
![]() Not personally, but it is en route thanks to a well-placed listener. A couple of well-placed listeners, actually! |
![]() |
![]() (Joe Belock is getting the other one.) |
![]() |
![]() Looking forward to hearing it :-) |
![]() |
![]() @EFD and the elusive Academy Fight Song 7" remains ever elusive, wonderful cheesy keyboard sound and all? |

Aharon:
Hello, fellow comment-board creepies! Pete Galub's playing this Saturday night at Littlefield in Brooklyn. He puts on a good show. |
![]() |
![]() I can make your hair grow where? |
![]() |
![]() Evan, do you know where the whole "Two for tuesday" thing originated? |
![]() |
![]() Radio hell. |
![]() |
![]() I always associate it with WNEW-FM from way back when, but I don't know if they were the first to do it. |
![]() |
![]() @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! |
![]() |
![]() WNEW and 92.3 K-Rock did it. I think Three-for-Thursday came later. |
![]() |
![]() Say what you will about WNEW, but Scott Muni's voice taught me that rock 'n' roll was actually important. |
![]() |
![]() WPLR (New Haven) MAY have done it ... I listened to a lot of NYC stations also |
![]() |
![]() By mid 80s in Western Mass, ubiquitous |
![]() |
![]() ...Deniz Tek song reminds me of Sonic Youth a bit... |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() 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. | |
![]() |
![]() I only really knew rock WPLJ from (mesmerizing, as a kid) TV commercials. By the time I tuned regularly in it was Power 95. |

Rickwaukee:
If it's got to be clean it's got to be tied ? | |
![]() |
![]() Pete, I'm just going to quietly edit your comment so it says _Scott_ Muni, as you intended, instead of Paul Muni. |
![]() |
![]() This Goodman is great. |
![]() |
![]() @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. |
![]() |
![]() Good thing the Hot Nun track ended. My dog is looking desperate. |
![]() |
![]() If this is the wimps of let's go home and be boring, we may have a new Shabazz household favorite. |
![]() |
![]() @Barkevious, that song isn't on the Repeat album, but I'm 96% certain it's the same Wimps. |
![]() |
![]() Top notch. |
![]() |
![]() The dog is starting to become irate with me. |
![]() |
![]() I take it this is related to the Fast Product comp rotting in me basement? |
![]() |
![]() @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! |
![]() |
![]() @Stevel, take the dog out. |
![]() |
![]() Ah, yes, Scott Muni. Sorry, been a few years. |
![]() |

Wed. 4/24/13 11:14pm
AZ:
(LJP swears that song used to get played regularly in some club back in the day.) |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() 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. | |
![]() |
![]() Enjoying Gnod. |
Wed. 4/24/13 11:28pm
Listener Bill:
Hi, Evan! Great, as always. Rock on! | |
![]() |
![]() 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... |
![]() |
![]() A bit repetitive, but she's got a hearta gold. |
![]() |
![]() My computer/Winamp is having a "buffering" fit tonight. It's driving me nuts. |
