Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Greetings Funk! Saw Joe Bataan about 7 years ago. Great show, great guy. The Futures is a beach music Monster. Whispers track is stellar. Prefer short version of T Connection classic | |
![]() |
![]() The sonic link of Y records from Pigbag to the Pop Group (I think). Nice. |
![]() |

![]() |
![]() Hello my hero efd! Hello everyone! Y'all should know that my twitter account was hacked 4 days ago and ONLY efd thought to let me know. Apparently none of the other people who follow me found it odd that I suddenly started to shill Dr. Oz approved diet aids, a fact that terrifies me. |

Michael K.:
do Canadian Content rules apply? It's gotta be Coney Hatch "You ain't got me "! (or you could play the last track on that lp and take a stroll around the block and a nap , and have some dinner...) |
![]() |
![]() Good evening one and all. Quite the haul efd |
![]() |
![]() thank you for playing this I love it |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, this is killer! Once I saw it was Weems-approved I knew it would be a good one. |
![]() |
![]() Michael, I had my eye on a couple of other tracks on that Coney Hatch LP but if you're vouching for "You Ain't Got Me" then I'll give that serious consideration. |
![]() |
![]() Joe Bataan, Instant Funk, Konk, Medium Medium, Loose Shoes, The Mechanics, Jimmy Spicer, T-Connection. Thank yuou for Pigbag. |

Wed. 6/4/14 9:23pm
Weems:
Futures got plenty of AirPlay in Rochester, but not the 12". Nice. Like I said, it's such a legendary Beach record, there's a group called the Part Time Party Band. | |
![]() |
![]() ha! Michael, I was thinking of either that or "Devil's Deck!" Sorry to hear about Don Zimmer. |
![]() |
![]() OK, nanu nanu gets a clicky star. @UM - This is a good tribute with a great lede: mlb.mlb.com... |

![]() |
![]() I will play Helix, but as previously stated on Twitter there's a cover on that Helix record that I've gotta hear so I think that's gonna be the choice. |

Wed. 6/4/14 9:54pm
Mikey Spaceman:
I remember a late night WBAI-FM listening of Bill "Spaceman" Lee expressing the under appreciated effort of Bernie Carbo's game tying home run vs. the reds. Then hearing Bill Lee calling Don Zimmer a gerbil. That was what I called radio circa 1980? | |
![]() |
![]() I love this "Love Bug" Starski record so much. Only had the 7" before this weekend. |
![]() |
![]() Good to hear Medium Medium. I remember that from years ago. |
![]() |
![]() Exactly right, Mikey Spaceman. There was no love lost between Bill Lee and Don Zimmer. |
![]() |
![]() Stevel, I think Michael K was talking about the Coney Hatch song ...? |

![]() |
![]() Just ordered $90.00 of flea medicine. Which is a really, really good deal (12 doses Advantage II = 4 months of coverage for our 3 cats) but initial outlay always painful. Less painful than fleas, however! |
![]() |
![]() Damn what a bounty! I wasn't going to request anything- having total faith;But i wouldn't mind hearing that Whispers record. |

Did someone say Starbreaker? | |
![]() |
![]() @efd - you are clearly not in North Carolina (duh). Plenty hot & disgustingly humid. Trying to imagine sea breezes and seagulls cawing. @12539 - someone sure did! |
![]() |
![]() It's pretty gratifying to see how much I've expanded the audience for Starbreaker, I have to admit. |
![]() |
![]() ohhhhh, NOW I get the "seagulls" comment! |
