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.

Malcontent:
I too am a white man "of a certain age" and I find the lyrics to that song so cringeworthy racist and sexist.
And being such a white dude; over the years I have learned the hard lessons about looking beyond my privilege and building my capacity to see the subjectivity of other people.
While the harmonic arrangements are spectacular, and it is catchy as hell... this song reduces women to objects.

Going to Gulfport in November. There’s talk around the office of heading to New Orleans afterwards for a couple weeks, through Thanksgiving weekend. Thinking an AirBnB in the Garden District.
