@efd, many thanks for the Sparks set you played a couple weeks ago. Downloaded the show and listened to it probably once a day since, sometimes more.

Some righteous and sublime tunes. Was not especially familiar with Sparks, grateful for the introduction.

Looking at the cover on Discogs, I would totally dismiss that Why on Earth record unless I knew someone in the band. But I like the song.

Peaches used to be in the French Quarter, and it was the local unit of the Peaches chain. I don't know how the current store ended up with the name when the chain folded.

The old Peaches was in the tourist corridor on N.Peters or Decatur St. It was a normal chain record store. Then, one time I went by the old store, and it looked more ragged, and I went in and they weren't selling just overpriced new CDs. They were also selling overpriced used records. Then, the next time I was in New Orleans, they'd moved to the current location on Magazine St, which was conveniently just around the corner from the apartment my wife and her sister owned (inherited from their aunt). Except that there really wasn't much I wanted to buy at the new Peaches.

Fortunate to have an older sibling very dedicated to Rawk who spoonfed me masses of stuff. Presented the 1st Saints album as - here's guys from Australia, where the conservatives are especially offended by longhair - & they're totally naturally Punk totally in isolation from any other Scene...

@WoodsOfNH it's so weird they played the Saints so much in the 80s (at least in the Philly college radio stations) then they dropped off the charts somehow. anyway, go Phils today!

I thought the U of DE station was WVUD, call letters that are... somewhat unfortunate. Was it previously WXDR?

When I had a car, I used to hear WKDU occasionally when driving through Philly and liked it in the 90s and 00s. WXPN was usually kind of boring though.

I presume lockdown mode is the reason for some reruns of late-night shows recently instead of fill-ins (??).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:23pm
joe mulligan:

@_Ike_ you are correct sir! I think they made the call sign change in the 90s. I got tons of free concert tickets from WKDU back then.. WXPN was actually more exiting in the 80s if you caught the right shows

@joe mulligan: I can't remember if college radio in Maine (orono) played them. I graduated in 84, though at the time I was more interested in things like The Clash. Still, I would have liked them.

It makes sense that the Saints covered the Easybeats. I know little of that other early Aussie rock group, the Missing Links, whose "Wild About You" the Saints covered.

When I was growing up, we were pretty agnostic about ball teams. If the home team wasn't playing, we could root for most anybody else.

It wasn't until I lived in Illinois that I learned that Cubs/White Sox fandom boiled down to class warfare. The White Sox are the Peoples team and the Cubs are the team for rich a-holes. Is that the same for the Mets and Yankees?

Lifelong Cubs fan...refuse to watch/root for team as new owners single-handedly tore down a neighborhood to gentrify it. little regard for the team nor the fans.
