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.

"A brief period of silence ended with him, somewhat surprisingly, signing with Geffen and releasing Hope and Glory. It was a politically tinged but mostly mainstream rock record that featured a cover of that decidedly non-punk song, Steely Dan's "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," with Robinson deftly exploring the song's homoerotic subtext. Still, it wasn't enough to resuscitate his career and for the remainder of the decade Robinson released England-only albums that tried the patience of even longtime fans.
As to his current whereabouts, Robinson is (amazingly) rumored to be married to a woman and raising a family in England. He's still writing songs and occasionally performing, also working as a DJ for BBC6."
Aharon:
Not that I am.
Though the pun maybe deserves some yom kippur style atoning.

He was interviewed as part of a recent BBC documentary on Todd Rundgren and he said Rundgren made the second TRB album in less than two weeks of part time sessions.
Danne D:
Calling Roll may be the most deft reference to the conversation about hoagies and taylor ham that anyone has or will make. Well done, Aharon.

nec13, there are at least 3 spots open - and if there's enough interest I could even expand it to 14 teams. Email me at evan at wfmu dot org and I'll send you the info later tonight or tomorrow.

I'm amazed to hear Cecil Cooper and Juan Beniquez come up - didn't realize they were part of the 75 team. (I was of course 5 at the time).
This is the Inna Gadda Da Vida of baseball albums.
