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.

May 18, 2010: EVERYBODY WAS IN THE FRENCH RESISTANCE... NOW! live set! Plus, RIP Ronnie James Dio
Everybody Was In The French Resistance... Now! was formed by Eddie Argos of Art Brut and Dyan Valdes of The Blood Arm to "correct the mistakes of pop songs past." As such, their new album is called Fixing The Charts (Cooking Vinyl), and includes such responses to past chart-toppers as "G.I.R.L.F.R.E.N. (You Know I've Got A)," "Hey! It's Jimmy Mack," and the song that ostensibly tells the story of the band's origin, "Creeque Allies" (pronounced like the WWII alliance, not like the plural of "Alley"). The songs are just clever enough without being cloying, and will be enjoyed by fans of Art Brut, Soft Cell and pop music aficionados at large. Catch Everybody Was In The French Resistance... Now! live as they complete their US tour! Dates are on their myspace page.

Joe - that Eric Burdon song was a response song! Now it makes sense, right?

Michael ftLC, whenever I play that I always feel like I'm being unfaithful to the first 3 Sparks albums... but that song is soooo good!

But it wasn't awkward! Eddie jumped offstage and did most of the show from the floor.
He was very nice, and he now follows me on Twitter.
I guess Chapel Hill is very much a college town. Lots of kids went home? I don't know.

Off the phone now so maybe I'll have it together :)
S'up Aharon :) S'up Terre T :) S'up everyone :)
I assure my team's rise back up the chart is but a minor blip in the scheme of things. Lots of smoke and mirrors going on.
Btw, I have another testament to the medical properties of FMU. I had an MRI today on my shoulder (which actually in a mishap on the 2nd Marathon Saturday) - the doc thinks I've torn my rotator cuff :(
So this was the first time I've had an MRI done and I didn't know what to expect - I found it fine but the audio system was on the fritz (my choice of CD was to be a Cornelius CD I got from no less an authority than Terre T btw) so no music. Funny thing was after a while I was sensing some of the odd rhythms of the MRI machine and it just sounded like something Kenny G would play or something you might here on FMU at 4 AM :)

Danne, good luck with your rotator cuff. That'll really get you in the mood for the fantasy baseball league.
Ken, that does sound very Kenny G-ish.
