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.

December 7, 2011: Annual show dedicated to my high school friend Jim McIntyre, aka Jimmy Mack

Five years ago I did my first WFMU show as part of the regular weekly schedule. I dedicated that show to my high school friend Jim McIntyre, who was also known as Jimmy Mack. Jim's passion for music - and radio, for that matter - was overpowering. He started working at Boston's WBCN, one of the top rock stations in the country, while still in high school and eventually became a key part of their Music department. He was as generous with his opinions on new bands he loved (Cheap Trick! The Dictators! The Motors! Ultravox! The Stranglers!) as he was with extra promo records that BCN had received, and I was a grateful and fortunate recipient of both.
By the age of 20, Jimmy was the Music Director at WBCN. Six years later, he was gone - the first AIDS victim who'd gone to my high school (but sadly not the last). But his influence during those formative high school years has stayed with me to this day, and the bands he introduced me to remain among my all-time favorites.
As I wrote five years ago, and have reiterated at the start of the fall/winter schedule ever since, there have been countless times that I've wished Jim was still here so I could tell him about a great new record I'd heard, or he could tell me about his new favorites. I'm thankful that I can go on the radio every week and share my favorites with you - and if you like what you hear, take a moment to say "thanks" to Jimmy Mack for shaping my musical taste for a lifetime.

"Smith wrote a memoir, entitled John Lennon Called Me Normal. It debuted on 16 March 2007 as a limited edition at The Fest for Beatles Fans in Secaucus, New Jersey. There, Smith appeared and sang "Oh Babe". The book contains never before published pictures, newly revealed historical facts about the Beatles and Pink Floyd at Abbey Road Studios, as well as details of Smith's life as an RAF glider pilot."

Holly saw SFW, thought of SWF from dating ads (single white female), and got to single fat wanker from there.
It's SO CLEAR now!!!!!
