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.

from the wiki -
Mark Lewis "Roman" Polansky (born June 2, 1956 in Paterson, New Jersey) is an American aerospace engineer and research pilot and a NASA astronaut. Polansky received the nickname "Roman" as a joke, because he shares a last name with director Roman Polansky.

Anyone confused by the 080 title -- It's not fractured Spanish, it's Catalan, a language spoken in a region of Spain. The capital of the region is -- wait for it -- Barcelona. Very closely related to Spanish. Le llei del plaer = The Law of Pleasure

Yeah, at first I thought it was phonetic Spanish by the group, but then I saw Catala and remembered where Barcelona is. I guessed right that there'd be a Catalan-English dictionary online by now. In Spanish it would be "La ley del placer"
