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.

efd, that was a great soul train set! Loved Questlove's piece - will read Charnas later tonight. Just recently finished Charnas' 'The Big Payback'(yeah, I'm so on top of my reading) which I highly, highly recommend to all.

So like a month before or a couple weeks I was jumping on the couch and I went POP! onto the glass coffee table
So three weeks later by the time Haloween came my nose wasn't black and blue it was pretty well green with some purple so I got my costume
Didn't break it at the time somehow, haven't yet, little bit of luck I suppose
