Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

When I arrived home a little while ago, I checked my mail before taking the elevator up. Opening a package revealed a CD I bought last week, "England's Glory." I walked in the door, started the computer and popped the disc in the player. Something was wrong. MusicMatch Jukebox was playing "City of Fun" but I hadn't yet switched over to the CD player yet. By default, my player plays the fmu audio stream. So switching back and forth between the File and the CD, the same song was playing, so I was sure something went screwey, after all, how can fmu be playing the SAME SONG AT THE SAME TIME that I'm playing? Well, that's what was going on and it truly blew my mind. A million songs to choose from, and we're playing the same song at the same time. I thought I was still tripping from the '70's!

Re Rubinoos vs Avril vs Stones... I think the handclaps are why the Lavigne version sounds so much like the Rubinoos version. Probably not close enough to count in court. Maybe it's an homage?
Anyway, the best part is the comment war on YouTube.

Re: The article in Der Spiegel
Perhaps the witticisms are funnier in German. Most things are.
