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.

Believe it or not, Control Top is coming to Fort Wayne, in March, same night as Los Lobos. It will be a longer night than usual. May the gods be praised. Proper sacrifices are being arranged.

Los Lobos is one of the greatest Bands I’ve ever seen. They’ll move your ass, and they’re all delightfully talented, highly skilled musicians. First saw them five years ago. Won’t miss them now.

Hi Evan and those who follow him and those who don't, I saw steve earle at pubic (sic) theater lobby today. I said to him "I just finished Amy Rigby memoirs and that made me think of her ex, will. And I see you. How is he doing?". "He's great, being a dad to his young girl while his wife teaches at UNC and brings in the money". Yay!
