Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s: Rediscovering the forgotten rockers, revisiting the once-hated disco beats, replaying the power-pop favorites. Next: copious amounts of new releases and occasional live bands. Also: I’m the biggest Nick Gilder fan on WFMU.

Only Sparks could release a 12" called Beat The Clock. Maybe Prince could do it, but Sparks beat him to it, so to speak.
  Wed. 2/27/13 9:15pm TJ:

Thanks for the sparks, mr. funk davies. This 12" is a longer version no?
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 9:17pm efd:

TJ, yes, 6:44! Droll, you make a good point.

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in! Stay tuned for an exclusive update on the campaign to make "Roadrunner" the State Rock Song of Massachusetts, coning up at 9:30!

Always makes me laugh when Johnny Rotten sings about Stop n Shop in the Sex Pistols cover of Roadrunner.

The only way this could get any better is if it were, well, something crazy like, oh, the state song of Massachusetts or something.

Anybody don't know: Elizabeth Warren is an absolute Hero: If they'd listened to her instead of all the Big BullyBoys - the entire Crash may not have happened.
- Aerosmith actually started up here in New Hampshire - not Mass. - for what it's matters...

Less than three versions would have been unlike you!

Any more out there, other than live performances?
  Wed. 2/27/13 9:44pm PB:

Dirty Water by the Standells would also be a good choice.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 9:45pm efd:

Honestly it should be the state rock song just for working in the word "consequently."
  Wed. 2/27/13 9:45pm Meghan.:

Also one of the 2 songs that mention Rt 128
  Wed. 2/27/13 9:46pm john:

Standells were from LA, so disqualified.

Really liking this Hot Nun song. And (I'm not requesting) you could sure follow Pete Galub with The Godfathers. I'd go see either of these acts on short notice.

  Wed. 2/27/13 10:14pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...Not to be tedious - but just to make sure no wires crossed (probably mine)
- you PB said "Aerosmith destitute man's Stones"
- & I added '(Aerosmith) the Mainstream man's (Rockfan's) New York Dolls' - because that's what I've always thot & seemed like you gave me an opening there to say it. I'm agreeing w/ you basically.
- Not sure where Pistols came in - so it's probably me missing something...
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 10:18pm Droll:

I loved that "Hjet Det Ground". Any heavy metal with cowbell and a pre-announced guitar solo rocks, but heavy Scandinavian accents made that one dessert on dessert.

I admittedly missed everything up until now, but I have to say this recent governmental embrace of Roadrunner doesn't really move me. Sort of seems antithetical somehow, you know?

Damn! You could pogo to the Goodbye Johnnys! Harkens to the Vibrators. This is a good thing.

I will pledge extra if Lord Bendover answers the phone.
  Wed. 2/27/13 10:24pm PB:

Revolution - no problem. I misunderstood, I thought you were saying the Pistols were mainstream. I think we're on the same page. Even if we're not, nothing like a good natured debate about music.

Back in college I dropped French because I can't verbalize non white bread American English.

Nothing weird about not listening to music you play -- when I make DJ::bestBits remixes I never listen to the song all the way through. I chop a 3:30 song down to about 15 seconds, there are entire parts of the original I'll never hear.

If it's '73, that sounds late for Boettcher. Though that was the year of his awesome solo album.

"The Visitors" is, unequivocally, the greatest of all Abba songs.

I don't know when he stopped producing the Association without googling.
  Wed. 2/27/13 11:05pm john:

I don't either, just a feeling that it would have been before '73. I could be totally wrong on that.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:05pm Uncle Michael:

I do see now that it's an Albert Hammond song...so that's promising.

Surprised Association around in 70's. Hmm.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:08pm efd:

i just had to quickly jump in before i answer the ticket calls to say that "Names, Tags, Numbers & Labels" is my very favorite Association song. It is great.

They played a live set recently (Irwin's show?) Went for an hour or more as I recall. Pretty damned good.

stand by for coincidental related Association programming (not "Names, Numbers..." though, I don't want to ruin the surprise).

@Droll like I said, a few. The kickass-est awesome-st efd-listenin' few ;-)

Even though efd heartily disapproves.

Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:18pm efd:

There was a 3-hour Endless Boogie special on Brian's show, but there were some other elements besides the live set they recorded here. Very cool show, worth checking out the archive.
  Wed. 2/27/13 11:18pm john:

Hmm, the composer's version of Names, Tags is on the first Albert Hammond album which happens to be just across the room. As soon as this show's over...

I'm convinced Harry never conducted these interviews...that a staffer did and Harry revoiced the questions.

Danne, the "show up for the draft or you're hosed for the year" philosophy tends to get everyone right where you need them at draft time...

Everyone knows what a shameless name-dropper I am. Here's one for the rotisserie crowd. I used to play softball with Rob Neyer. For realz.

Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:43pm Uncle Michael:

He was a good egg. I have no contact with him since the late '80s. He had just gone to work for Stats Inc. Last time we ran in the same circle.

Re-issue or recent Debora Iyall?
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:47pm Holly in NC:

Probably 1/2 of what keeps me where I am is living within spitting distance of the REAL Durham Bulls Athletic Park. After several years of stubborn & useless protest I grudgingly decided I still needed to support my team, so I do regularly attend the fancy schmancy huge park downtown (x years later I still call it the new park). But it's not the same.

Happy old park exists, and used by lucky local kids!
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:48pm efd:

@Stevel, recent! within the past few years, anyway.

You bet, Uncle Michael! I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on "Names, Numbers..."
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:51pm Uncle Michael:

I think Rob had already done his stint with Bill James before the Stats Inc. gig.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:51pm Stevel:

Holly: Yes. Great segue.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/27/13 11:52pm Danne D:

That would be the path not taken by me. I probably wouldn't be conversing with you guys right now had something ended up happening (or they had an opening at the time)
