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.

Hi John! Hope you're feeling better.

And the more I look at my Bernard Purdie semi-pledge, the more it looks like a sad lie.

And please tell me #1 was Sylvester and the Hot Band. Just to hear him screech covers of Southern Man and Whiter Shade of Pale. Srsly.
Joe:
I'm not telling. I'll write it down on a piece of paper, fold it over, and we'll see if I'm right in a few minutes.

a sample of "Saturday Night Live" by the Lordz of Brooklyn, which is in turn a sample of the main riff from "American Woman" by the Guess Who.
Joe:
And I'll gladly do it for a decade more!
Any more than that would be getting a little ridiculous.
The Guess Who:
Joe:
I'm also surprised that Wolverine is now the spokesman for -The- Guess Who.

I blame the rap lyric I've been reciting to anyone who'll listen for the past 2 weeks.
"We keepin' saturday night live, like Tracy Morgan"

John from Otisville:

John - not sure about that, but I'm going to guess it is.
Amanda:
Cryptovision Records was relaunched with that particular release, says the internet.
Joe:
Although i guess I shouldn't be surprised, I've probably put them on every mix I've made since you started playing them.
Oh, Taylor Hanson... *swoon*

Bonus ramble: great cover of Linda Linda Linda; the movie is even better.

We sung it in Engrish though.
Michael from the Left Coast:
Joe:
My buddy goes to law school with a guy who was a journalist before he switched careers. So he notices a factual inaccuracy in his legal textbook and emails the editor about it. He gets a response and starts a correspondence. Eventually, the editor recommends the guy have dinner with his son, who lives in NY and runs a nightclub.
His son was Andrew WK.
Michael from the Left Coast:
What club does Andrew WK run in NYC?
toni daytona:

and I -will- somehow party with him some day.

Toni/Cissy/Rachel, I'm not really sure why you're fixated on this Brittany Murphy thing, but with all due respect my program is really not the go-to venue for a tribute.

My list is not by any means objective and is heavily biased toward shows where I was doing something awesome whilst listening to them. I do believe, however, they stand strongly on their own.
Happy New Year.
Pete:
FYI. The Poison Arrows are reformed into a new band called The Biters. Play same type of music. You can go to their myspace page whenever you get a chance
