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 get it.
Wow, it literally took me until the 4th song to get the theme.
Also - did not know you were a Prince fan. I'm more of a "Morris Day and the Motherfuckin' TIME" guy, myself.

Amanda, I was thinking of that too - I feel like I just used that for something, but now I can't remember what!
Oh! cinco de mayo, never mind.

The talkover bed is a loop from the Lordz of Brooklyn song "Saturday Nite Fever", which itself is a sample from The Guess Who's "American Woman".
efd:
Hey, it's DJ Terre T! Thanks for checking in!
Anemone, you're talking about me like I'm not even here! :)
Sybil:
Dang, I missed the 7/7 set! Oh, well, that's what archives are for. Though, the set won't mean the same on 7/8 or 8/7, whatever.
I'm baaaaack... from Citi Field!

Hi Dean, good to hear from you! And Joe, thank you for ably performing your assigned task once again.

Manny 2 for 4, 3 RBI, struck out twice. The Mets fans got a lot of joy out of those stirkeouts. Heh. (Really, I like the Mets. Mostly.)
Citi Field is very beautiful and well-designed. I was impressed. The view from my left-field corner nosebleed seats was excellent. In fact, no bad lines of sight and you can even see the field from most of the food carts. It's quite a nice ballpark.
And we really lucked out on the weather. It was mostly clear while I was there. Got hit by the rain on the wasy home though. Only thing, too much wind coming in from the outfield. (I can see this is a pitcher's stadium) If no wind, maybe the Bums would have won eleventy-nine to 0. (Heh.)
Poor Mets. What is it, like 30 innings without an extra-base hit?
Michael from the Left Coast:
Get there early and go to Shake Shack!

And yes - Manny got tossed for throwing his helmet after a called strike 3.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Oscar G. Mayer, retired chairman of the Wisconsin-based meat processing company that bears his name, has died at the age of 95.

Listener Pete here . . . Googling on Teenage Lust. Found a MySpace page, it appears that they were really called "Teenage Lust & The Lustettes. It appears that they have a compilation called "The Lost Lust Tapes" but don't know what label or if its on vinyl/CD. They may have recorded for Elektra. Anyway, if you could fill in the rest, it would be great because its a CD I'd love to get!

His grandfather, Oscar F. Mayer, died in 1955 and his father, Oscar G. Mayer Sr., died in 1965.
efd:
Joe, thanks for the update(s). Now I'm trying to figure out if the grandson's death warrants me playing that commercial from youtube.

It is shocking that boys in a comic book store would even dare to talk to a girl. We didn't cotton to that in my day. It was all Skrulls talk 24/7 .
Dean Rispler:
Joe:
And I'm almost in my mid-twenties... so... that... also makes it less offensive. Somehow.

If you could be any Skrull, which life form would you most want to imitate? I'd be an otter!
It's also good to have Bob Log III back.

Can I change my answer from an otter to Bob Log III?
