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.

November 21, 2007, after I posted a comment about The Godfathers to Ken's Accuplaylist:
Mike Lupica: OK smart guy, let's hear your complicated opinions about the Chiefs of Relief! EFD: I never heard of them! But their very brief wikipedia entry sounds intriguing. ML: WHUUUHH?? Evan, get a hold of yourself and stop blowing your credentials out of the water. For you to not have heard of the Chiefs of Relief is like me never having heard of breathing. They are like the Godfathers meets the Art of Noise meets Malcolm McLaren's "Duck Rock" LP + Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols (who plays drums for them.) I will give you one of their records. And so he did. |

Regarding Bram Tchaikovsky, Hip-O-Select put on the remastered version of the CD back in December with the original 11 tracks. However, another UK site
http://www.heavymetalkids.co.uk/bram.htm
lists a remastered version with bonus tracks
You can check it out if you like
