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.

June 30, 2010: SOFT TAGS live set!
Soft Tags' latest release, the double CD Mathematical Monsters, garnered near-universal comparisons to early Clean and Go-Betweens, and we see no reason to buck that trend. We're also confident that it's the best album ever to be inspired by Benoit Mandelbrot. The Portland-based group is on tour across the USA - check out their myspace page for complete tour info, and make sure you catch them in person and/or on the radio.

Good point about the start time, although I was always enjoying whatever was happening on Tom's show so much that I didn't really care if he ran over!

The interview hasn't happened yet? ::checking::
Thanks for answering my question, EFD and john. I actually should have known that. I blame the fact that I haven't had dinner yet.
Great music to cook by!
