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 17, 2015: I'm back! Back in the New Jersey Groove! With a live set from COLD BEAT!
Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
San Francisco's Cold Beat was started by Hannah Lew as an outlet for songs she'd been working on while playing in Grass Widow, but "didn't feel like Grass Widow songs." With that band on unannounced and indefinite hiatus, Lew completed those songs and continued writing on her own, releasing an EP in 2013 and the full-length album Over Me (Crime On The Moon) last year. Reviewers struggled to put the album's sound in a familiar box, describing it variously as "surf-rock," "post-punk," "punkish," "poppy" and (gasp) "new wave." Listen to their live set and decide for yourself!

...yes P-90. i never realized! the lead is chopped up and the beat is different; and i never heard the rhythm git in there until within the last couple months.
-maybe if i heard it first in the context of a rap song i'd have known it! but as bed music,it's a piece of a song made of pieces of a song....'never even crossed my mind!
...i thoroughly failed.

Maybe being ancient enough to have The Guess Who imprinted in your circuits by early adolescence is a factor here...
