In honor of my first-ever live concert: the Dictators and the Dirty Angels at the Bottom Line.
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.

I haven't thought about Diana Dors in years. She was a pinup/sweater girl and actress in the 60s in the UK -- did she ever havce any success over here?
Little known fact -- her birthname was Diana Fluck. Be careful pronouncing it.

Everytime you've played this Bare Wires, I've not been paying attention. So now I'm dealing with the interesting phenomenon of being fully capable to sing along to a song I've never actually -heard- before.
The only other place where that's happened to me is with the Moody Blues songs my mother started exposing me to in utero.

Actually, you know what, hating on Yo La Tengo on a WFMU message board is an intensely ballsy move. I support it.
Wed. 9/9/09 12:21am
From:

i love yo la tengo. im just not sure its my kind of record.
Wed. 9/9/09 12:24am
From:

Wed. 9/9/09 12:24am
From:
Joe

New Raekwon is super dope. Picked it up before class, been bumping it all day. Not sure if it's instant classic status yet though. I am currently located in the beautiful Skylands of North Jersey, sir.

Joe, credit goes to A-Bones honker Lars Espensen for the old-timey sax sound.
Sabrina, I learned a while ago not to make a promise I might not keep.
Wed. 9/9/09 1:01am
From:
Danne D

Sabrina was one of Charlie's Angels. I'm sure she hasn't hear that one either :o)

From:
Joe
How can you go wrong with a comp called "Steppin' into the 80s?"
Is the cover art suitably 80sish?
Wed. 9/9/09 1:24am
From:
stingy d
yo funkaho! i can't listen right now but yr in my heart! (no homo)
Wed. 9/9/09 1:25am
From:
Joe
That was literally the greatest comment ever.
Wed. 9/9/09 1:33am
From:
efd
Joe, that's a hard point to argue.
Wed. 9/9/09 1:34am
From:
Amanda
I will not be arguing it either.
Certainly an 80stastic album cover, enhanced by the console in the background of the photo, which I thought at first was part of the cover art.
Wed. 9/9/09 1:34am
From:
Joe
I know, I'm a little upset about it. stingy d might have won at commenting, forever.
PS - That cover exceeded my expectations in ways I can only barely comprehend. The fonts! The lineup! THE SHOES!
Wed. 9/9/09 1:35am
From:
Joe
And of course, the crushed beer can, just to make it edgy.
Wed. 9/9/09 1:41am
From:
efd
yeah, there was too much glare when i tried to do a straight overhead shot, so i had to lean it against something and the console was the handiest thing.
Wed. 9/9/09 1:47am
From:
Amanda
But the console is even in the same color scheme!
It's like it took everything you thought you knew about the 80s and made you re-understand it. (I am referring to stingy's comment.)
Wed. 9/9/09 1:51am

Danne D
Hi Amanda! :) (wow, you're up late!)

I know... didn't think I'd get in from JC in time to catch any of you, but glad I did. Goodnight!
This version of this song has been in my head all day...

Great show, thanks for that Steppin into the 80s pic, (and liked the "Do you think Kim Clijsters is a fan of Wooden Shjips?" tweet) and the smart aleck FOT/BS asides.

What is the bed music? And if it changes, what was the bed music specifically on the evening of September 8, 2009? It burned my eyebrows off. Thank you in advance. -Jon
