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.

My friend said "these are not the songs that real people do at karaoke", and I saidI am not really interested in that; most people make ridiculous or boring selections. I'm imagining my utopian karaoke. I believe it is my prerogative.
