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.

Get Down! Brilliant! Gosh, I miss the '70s. Nobody does songs about dogs any more, or at least ones that make the top 10.

Gilbert O'Sullivan... that, Mr. Funkdavies, is a tenuous link, at best.

If you play Shannon, you get my whole 51st anniversary pledge next year. DEFINITELY nobody does songs about Carl Wilson's dog drowning any more.

Oof. This Neil Young song is not so good. I think that can be said about nearly every Neil Young song, but this one in particular is bad.
It's giving me the lulz.

damn, Laurie, you're on to me!

It's okay, Evan. This James White song is my jam.
Mon. 3/17/08 11:46pm
From:
John McCabe
ok that Neil Young song sounded like he was "phoning it in" but Neil is the king of rock n' roll from 2000-2002 that all I would play

Yes! Contort Yourself still sounds great!!
Mon. 3/17/08 11:47pm
From:
Laurie
Wait, isn't this James Chance?? Am I confused?
Mon. 3/17/08 11:50pm
From:
mary jane
Yep but he changed his name to suit his purposes. Including using James White.
And of course the band The Contortions.

Nope, Texas
Mon. 3/17/08 11:54pm
From:

I am almost positive that "Contort Yourself" was released under James Chance & the Contortions.

"What Made..." is from Austin, TX

From:
Randy in NC
efd, you are correct. The original version of Contort... was James Chance and the Contortions. This version was certainly smoother. My memory tells me that the Blacks became the Raybeats.
Mon. 3/17/08 11:59pm
From:
Laurie
I'm relatively young. I should just get points for knowing of James Chance.
Tue. 3/18/08 12:05am
From:
Laurie
Oh, also, the linguist in me wants to inform you that it's pronounced DED-uh-lus.
Tue. 3/18/08 12:07am
From:
efd
thanks for the info, Joe & TIm!
Laurie, I wholeheartedly agree regarding knowing who James Chance is in the first place. I also thought it was DED-uhlus, but I've heard a couple of others say DAYdulus so I wonder if the artist has a "special" pronunciation.
Randy, is that the case? I can't recall... I thought of them as contemporaries, but I think there was some overlap between members now that you mention it.

efd, it could be that the Blacks were the Raybeats when they played w/o James White/Chance. I know I saw them both around the same time period.

From:
efd
Randy, looks like you are indeed on the right track - see

(And Laurie, that page has some helpful James Chance/White/Black info as well.)

One day will you play The Bush Tetras "Too Many Creeps" . The uber cool Pat Place was in the Contortions and the Bush Tetras.
Tue. 3/18/08 1:03am
From:

That is, Pat Place IS in The Bush Tetras.

Thanks for playing Junc Ops, by the way. Miami's music scene is lackluster for the most part.
It's been mostly downhill since L'Trimm split up.

Hopefully he won't bail like Masta Ace did! He lots alot of points with me for that... my man Noah is too cool for that shit...

Had not heard of Liliput...and since I like the BTetras...I wondered who Liliput is/was...looked it up...you are way cool,efd. Thank you for taking a request to a very fine place!

Mary Jane, it's my pleasure to have introduced you to Kleenex / Liliput. I highly recommend that 2CD set if you want to hear more.
