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.

[curious if true factoid] "...died on the morning of 30 December 2010, in a hotel room in St. Petersburg, Russia, of heart failure.[9] His agent, John Seine said Farrell was complaining of breathing problems after performing with his band the evening before.[10][11] Farrell's body was discovered by hotel staff after he failed to respond to an alarm call.[12] Coincidentally, he died on the same date and in the same city as Grigori Rasputin.."

In 1974, Ira Robbins was nineteen years old and pursuing a degree in electrical engineering at Brooklyn Polytech-nic, because he wanted both to be a radio engineer and to avoid having to read or write in school. But, as an obsessed and information-starved fan of a bunch of then underappreciated British rock bands, he got the itch to launch a fanzine. His father, an old lefty, had a mimeograph machine at the family's Upper West Side apartment, and Robbins and some friends used it to produce about three hundred copies, twenty-four hand-stapled pages each, of a publication he christened Trans-Oceanic Trouser Press, after a 1968 song by the Bonzo Dog Band: "Do the trouser press, baby!"

The nighttime walk from JSQ to downtown used to be not-so-safe. Not sure about now. (I lived in Greenville in the early '90s, and sometimes I had to walk home from JSQ if I stayed out too late, and that was often uncomfortable)
