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.

Joe R.:

That’s the “I Don’t Wanna Cry” Keys, correct? I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one who’d want to hear more from them. And at the risk of sounding greedy, any of the Chiswick selections too :) I am in utter amazement at your haul by the way!

Yep, same Keys. I've had their LP on my list for a while now so I was happy to come across those singles, at least!

This looks interesting, I would request a cut from this:
Various - Wonderful Time Out There - Stiff Records (1981)
Ian Dury and the Blockheads are always good, but really, anything you pick from this LP would be awesome. 200 records, customs nightmare, how on earth did that go? Looking forward to the shows to come from this trip.

No nightmare at all! There was no inspection at all on the way back, I kept waiting for it and the next thing I knew I was through customs and in the arrivals area!

That Jeffrey Lee Pierce record is my eternal $5-record-which-I-always-see-but-already-own-and-so-I-buy-it-for-someone-else record store conquest. Surprised I haven't already bought a copy for you! In truth, it's a very uneven album (and I say this as a serious Gun Club/JLP fan), but the song "From Temptation to You" is damn near perfect. So that's my request!

EFD-I just realized I won't be able to listen live, but my serious requests are that Godfathers remix. Pilot and something from Fun Boy Three, so you can mention this box set: www.slicingupeyeballs.com...

I just realized that Jeffrey Lee Pierce record was listed incorrectly. I only found/bought the 7" that's included with the LP, but there's no separate listing on Discogs for the 7" so I just added the LP to my collection for now.

Wait, there's a 7" that comes with that?!? I must inspect my copy when I get home!

Bah, looks like a different version from the one I have. In which case I change my request to something from the single!

i, too, am interested in the JLP bonus ep - unless it is Lupita Screams, i don't know what's on that??
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:23pm
he can jog:

I'm very interested in the "Young Persons Guide to Compact" comp! I'd like to hear any tracks you'd prefer to play but The Popheads have a suitably curious pimple-adjacent name and a suitably obscure metadata trail that and I'd be curious to hear their contributions to this compilation. :-)

McGroovey:

You went all the way to England to buy Dead Man's Curve? Well, I always love Nash the Slash record, but I have that one.

I guess I'd like to hear the records I've never heard.
