Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

Evan, I have the nastiest flu of my life, and I blame your fucking Bosox. Varitek was patient zero.

We're missing Repo Man on the big screen, and you make[ed.] missin' fun.

E.L., when's your birthday? Oh, and to answer the question you asked in your email: Armageddon.
(note to other listeners: he asked what the first word in that mediocre Def Leppard song was.)
whut up, Toni D?? you think LuAnn and Gunther are gonna hook up??

i've said it before, i'll say it again:
there's all of human history, and then there's trailmix's "you make lovin' fun". future generations will devote the better part of their intellectual effort to the comprehension of just how this remix came to be, and we will be a better species for it.

Armageddon it! That's the one.

Dave, the people of the future will consider the remix and decide the original song was better than a looped version sauced with a (fake) Moog drenched in reverb. Surely you want the future to remember the gorgeous vocal harmonies and faux bell tones at the end!

Sybil, I know, but every time I stop and go back to my drooling, there's GG Allen, or Lisa Lisa, or... I'm gonna get another beer bottle and see if there's more band names in it.

I really liked the Chin Chin piece, went to their myspace page and liked even more. Good stuff!
(Yes, I was listening to songs on their myspace page with one ear and the radio with the other, and it was ever bit as much fun as it sounds. :->)

Is it just me, or did that PWEI song have a whiff of Unskinny Bop to it?

Yeah, yeah it offends me.
I know this is coming in late, but: So relieved that we'll hear more "in" sound! That stuff is gold. I wonder if I should hone my Evan Funk Davies impression.

thanks for the Sacto shout-out, bureaucrat!
Amanda, I can assure you you are not alone in your love of The "In" Sound! I'm totally psyched I was able to track down another one of those LPs.

According to an interview Glen Jones did with Mike Peters, Mike sent John Peel his band's 1st demo called Alarm Alarm. Mr. Peel wrote back and said no good, you should call yourselves The Alarm. The rest of course is RocknRoll history!
