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.

Hi Evan, listening remote from VT this week. I caught last week's show too late, but I saw what you did there with one song in particular (if you remember). I'm really liking the comfort of your show tonight.

Hey Evan, love your show.. But, the "German" Monks were Americans .. And, for my money, they were the "Punky" Monks ..

EFD: Gimme cab fare and i'm on it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:54pm
efd:

@terrapin true, but they were based in Germany at the time so that's what I was thinking of. And if you haven't heard the '70s Monks with the Strawbs connection check them out!

Comment vas-tu, Kat?

Ça va bien! (and that's about the extent of my French, haha)

Most of mine is Google translate lol. Had my last French class 45 years ago.

Kat in Chicago:

I've been doing a few morning minutes of Duolingo daily since my last visit to Montreal, in hopes I'll be slightly less lost next time
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:09pm
Phillippe Bastille:

Haven't been to Montreal, but what worked well for me when my wife and I went to France, if there was a dual option on languages, we always did both. Got the English menu and French menu and ordered off the French one, for example. You make a little effort and it goes a long way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:12pm
Kat in Chicago:

People in Montreal generally switch to English with no problem, but the more French I can at least recognize, the better.

Cute- Evan said the Pristeens were a "late 90s, early 80s band." Wha? That they "played brownies and elsewhere". Uh, elsewhere wasn't around then.
