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.

@UM - I was thinking of playing something from 10cc's Sheet Music LP, went with the Hotlegs b-side instead.

I've really been enjoying the new Jesus and Mary chain album. It really seems to be hitting the right place when I least expect much to.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:47pm
Switchblade Batman:

I should check it out @Chad, I loved Psycho Candy and Darklands but their later ones didn't do it for me. How does it compare?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:58pm
chad from oregon:

It's like revisiting an old friend... twenty years later... without sounding like a "mature, 20 years later grown-up version" of the glory days.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:59pm
Switchblade Batman:

Good review @Chad, will have to give it a listen for sure now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:00pm
chad from oregon:

Or maybe it is... but that formula finally hit with where I am and worked without seeming too obvious. :D

Drunken Creep:

loved that weightless track! what a beautiful song!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02pm
chad from oregon:

Though it does have female vocalists all over it... clearly hoping to possibly revisit what worked with the Sometimes Always hit in the early 90s.

Relaxing to the funk after working hard all day. Letting the music wash over me.
