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.

and just before i snagged tickets to see MUDHONEY: The Latter-Day Stooges in november...
in dog-related news, monk and cricket are barking along to this song, and some dallas friends just started a new band called "night terriers"... the main guy is also a boston terror dad.

I love Richard Buckner's lyrics, but half the time, who knows what they mean? Michael Stipe's lyrics usually don't mean anything particular, but they're often just right in their meaninglessness.
But one of my favorite songs is Surfin' Bird, which has perfect lyrics. You can understand every word, and you wouldn't want to change even one word.

Of course, I'm not arguing against lyrics by any means. I like what McGroovey wrote @ 1:48. That's a pretty cool to engage with lyrics.

With that being said, being an a cappella fan for the past few decades has fundamentally changed the way I listen to music. I pay more attention to rhythm & bass lines & countermelodies & such now, thinking about how a song might sound if done a cappella.
