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.

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

It's WEEK 2 of WFMU's October Silent Fundraiser and I've got a great show for you tonight! Entrepreneur, humorist, and television personality David Rees joins me in the WFMU studios to share some of his favorite records with you, the WFMU listener! David co-hosts the hilarious and insightful Election Profit Makers podcast about election-related prediction markets; he's also the author of How To Sharpen Pencils and hosted Going Deep With David Rees on the NatGeo and Esquire networks; in the 2000s he created the comics Get Your War On and My New Fighting [or Filing] Technique Is Unstoppable. If you like what you hear -- on this show, or anywhere on WFMU -- I hope you'll take a moment to make a pledge now.

I think that was the year I lived in Chapel Hill. I remember all those bands, or at least all those band names. Yay Metal Flake Mother!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:24pm
Kat in Chicago:

Weird year that was. Fled Chicago when everything in my life went to crap at once. Lived in a house in Carrboro infested with camelback crickets, washed dishes at a diner and went to the Cradle three or four nights a week. Met someone there and moved to New York with that person a year later.

Tempted to call in... but how to just casually chat with two of the most supremely cool dudes of cooldom... Better to just let them do their own talk and spin the tunes.

Definitely reminds me of Archers of Loaf, like Web in Front?

@Shelagh Web In Front is still one of my favorite 7"s. That was a big "hit" the year I was there.

@brian That is an awful lot of cool dudeness in one studio there. But call in anyway, I'd say.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:27pm
chris_in_space:

What a great show tonight. Good tunes, cool on-mic vibes. Didn't realize that David was the same guy I heard on the CBC a couple years ago, as the artisanal pencil sharpener, and back then I didn't realize he was the same guy who penned Get Your War On/Filing technique. It's all coming together now, as one of my favourite singles by Polvo plays on.
  10:29pm
Shelagh:

@Kat I wasn't there; I was in CT in the early 90s, but had a friends who introduced me to them much later. But he had great taste in music!

I didn't put all that together at first either! I remember the artisanal pencil sharpener interview.

hey everyone! Great to see all the comments, and glad you're enjoying the show! Please allow me to remind you it's Silent Fundraiser time here at WFMU - we're hoping to raise some $$$ to help offset the impending departure of JM in the AM, so please pledge what you can:

Haha, I should mention that two of my co-dishwashers were Jimbo Mathus (then of Metal Flake Mother, Squirrel Nut Zippers were just getting started when I left) and Eric Bachmann. Super nice guys, both of them.

What?!? That's amazing. I love everything he does. I saw him with Neko Case this spring.

vg music, nice talking too. I've seen david rees do pencil thing at BandN (I gave a ny transit pencil to someone to give to him; there's a pencil store just blocks from me!) and a talk at Housingworks where his "bayonet " umbrella was mentioned. Love his Get Yr War On. Oh, DHall turned 70 this week.

Bert Sommer was one of the opening acts at Woodstock, and did not make the movie or albums. He had a mid-chart hit in 1970, "We're All Playing in the Same Band" which I always remembered.
