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.

![]() |
![]() How many songs have the hook with just whistling? |
![]() |
![]() How can a few chords delivered w/ conviction & panache be so definitive? Punk succeeded too well - in distancing itself from what came before - & in being intense & transitory...even now, the real History of it hasn't been written or acknowledged...efd will bring it...just Great. |

![]() just as "you"is the magic word (or one of them, anyway) for an umpire to toss a ballplayer, posting as someone else is a great way to get temporarily banned from posting comments. |

Jake, i's just kidding because you came with so much info for everybody. i'm eating gluten right now! (Thanks for those links, by the way) (...though it is tough to find a gluten-free pie crust that doesn't fall apart.) |

JakeGould:
@coelacanth: Ha! At the last job I had—and the first full-time professional gig I quit within weeks in my life—someone was in the office pantry saying “Wow! Someone brought in gluten free cake. Jake, would you like some?” And my response—because her tone was so annoying and I didn’t want it was—“Well, that cake looks great but you know… I like gluten… So if you or anyone in the office has spare gluten, give it to this guy!” The look on er face was past stunned. She had no idea that was a joke. A week or so later I quit. |

@coelacanth: She was not the main reason I quit… She was cute in her cluelessness… But my direct boss was/is some I just could not work with… Quit cold after one incident too many with him… |

okay... i thought maybe you were working closely with people with whom there simply was no understanding. |

Wed. 5/18/16 11:25pm
coelacanth:
some people are quite charming and easily tolerated in cluelessness. (says the clueless man) then sometimes it feels like being in a bubble because no one hears your jokes. |

JakeGould:
@coelacanth: The way too see her is she was cool, but like a school marmish directory of thoughtful people so she was excessively sensitive. Not a bad person but when you are a heterosexual white male she was the kind of person who you could just say, “Nice and brisk outside!” and she would react as if you said something that hurt someone. |
