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.

I've been busy at work for several hours. Is the 90.1 WMFU transmitter up yet? Will be relying on that for the trip home.

No I am not.

Hi Ken, it came back on the air this afternoon - still up and running afaik

Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:21pm

Stevel, as far as my show is concerned, yes.

  9:26pm
SteveL:

True. Doc Watson. He had a great run. How old was he?

Pete Cosey?
  9:26pm
SteveL:

"Communicated to Death " is my favorite song title of the year.
  9:26pm
seang:

these dudes are playing in Somerville, MA tonight, Union Square
  9:29pm
Holly in NC:

@SteveL - 89.
Pete Cosey - amazing guitar player, best known for playing on Miles Davis' early 70s freakiest (and wonderful) lps
  9:29pm
Destroit:

I Can't think of a better title ever SteveL, right on.
  9:30pm
Holly in NC:

Pete Cosey was also a session player @ Chess in the 60s.
  9:34pm
Destroit:

Yes yes, park bar is a nice spot!
  9:47pm
Holly in NC:

Love ruckus roboticus!

I do not object to a good ruckus.
  9:48pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Frank and Cookie keep asking me to spin the disco ball again. and bisquits.
  9:50pm
Destroit:

I've got the yellow flag in my hand..
  9:54pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Bull Terriers don't present quite the hazard one might suspect. Brawny tho.
  9:55pm
Destroit:

Flag back in pocket. Like the cruise family song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:55pm
efd:

Barkevious, are Frank and Cookie your Bullies?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:55pm
efd:

uh-oh, I was just writing that I wasn't sure if the yellow flag was a good thing or a bad thing.
  9:56pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

@EFD Dern tootin'. Just back from Boot Camp today. Little angels.
  9:57pm

Barkevious Shabazz:

Is the Cruise Family a project by Pablo and Julee?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:34pm
efd:

at least you didn't say Tom. :)
  10:36pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

@EFD Knew I missed one but this godawful cold is destroying mine brain. Arrrghh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:37pm
efd:

I'm heartened by the fact that you thought of Julee Cruise and Pablo Cruise first.
  10:38pm
Rick Schindler:

Yo, what was that song a few minutes ago with the lyric "I can see everything, and I can hear everything..." Anybody know? I liked it.
  10:39pm
marc:

Ah the Great Captain Fantastic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
efd:

Much maligned in the past by me, I have to admit, but hearing that song over the weekend really opened my ears.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
efd:

Rick, I'm guessing it was the English Singles song...? The Literature LP has a lyric sheet, and the song I played doesn't have those words in it.
  10:41pm
marc:

Julee Cruise from the "Twin Peaks" Roadhouse?? "Falling"
  10:47pm
Holly in NC:

Y'know, I've always confused "Pujol" with Dave PAJO, & while I like Slint well enough I never connected with Tortoise in the slightest so...anyway, I do like Pujol. thanks efd!

** I REALLY like this Sandstone!!!
  10:50pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Besides, Tom Cruise will be rolling in it from the $5 in box office that "Rock of Aged" will rake in opening weekend.
  10:51pm
SteveL:

"Kind of" sneered at Capt. Fantastic?

Yes, I did not love the cover art. Hard to follow Good Bye Yellowbrick Road
  10:52pm
miss cheri:

g'night holly,,,see ya soon
  10:52pm
marc:

I grew up in the 70s with WABC...
  10:53pm
SteveL:

"Someone say-uv, someone say-uv!"
  10:53pm
john:

I saw you were listening to that and I tuned in for most of the day Monday. Flashbacks to my childhood were cool, but getting the 1968 election updates even cooler. Good to hear that nice Mr Koch would be returned to Congress. I hear he may have quite a career ahead of him.
  10:54pm
marc:

"Good Bye Yellow Brick Road" Is my favorite song of All-Time.
  10:55pm
Rick Schindler:

No, I figured it out -- it was the dB's, the adventures of albatross and doggerel. Thanks, efd!
  10:56pm
Richard from Venezuela:

Greetings Evan and all the listeners. Late, but sure.
  10:58pm
miss cheri:

marc--my fave elton john tune is "tiny dancer"!
  11:01pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

My fave label is Douche Master!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02pm
efd:

Hey Rick, cool - that whole dB's album is so great!

john, I loved that they kept some of the news reports and commercials. Marc - check out rewoundradio.com, I think there are airchecks there that you can listen to on-demand. It'll definitely bring back memories!

Hi Richard, I never doubted you! :) Thanks for checking in.
  11:04pm
Holly in NC:

Latest Cheap Time is wonderful.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:04pm
efd:

I love the new Cheap Time album. It's like Howard Devoto backed by early Roxy Music.
  11:07pm
Rick Schindler:

Thanks again, Evan, I'm going to check that dB's album out. I didn't realize it was NEW dB's -- first studio album in 25 years, and with the original lineup no less.
  11:10pm
Holly in NC:

I'm squishing your head! xoxoxoxoxo
  11:14pm
Randy in NC:

Hi all. Out of town and not able to listen, but checking the playlist. A rare Connells show at the Cats Cradle June 16.
  11:14pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

MMA tix on next week's Ticket Salad?
  11:15pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

I can report that 90.1 is up and running. It's safe to go outside again.
  11:15pm
Holly in NC:

Everyone should see SCOTS at least once. Fun.
  11:17pm
Holly in NC:

Hi Randy in NC! Between dbs in Durham 6/9 & the Connells in Ch-hill 6/16, we are so lucky!
  11:18pm
Randy (actually not) in NC:

@Holly, re SCOTS, so true!
  11:21pm
esha:

hey evan, which pharaoh overlord album is this song off of?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:22pm
efd:

Hi esha, I just filled in the rest of the info (was on the phone with ticket callers) - it's called Lunar Jetman.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:24pm
efd:

Hey Randy, thanks for checking in even though you can't listen! Very cool news about the Connells show down there.

And yes, SCOTS are definitely a must-see, especially for fans of banana pudding and fried chicken!
  11:24pm
Holly in NC:

I like doomy-Earthy Pharaoah Overlord, such as this, better than "Devastator" style PO. Many fellow listeners probably disagree. Not that there's anything wrong with Devastator..
  11:25pm
miss cheri:

evan thnx for a real killer show tonight!! catch ya next week! night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:26pm
efd:

Chacune a sa goute, Holly! :)

goodnight, cheri.
  11:28pm
john:

This Monochrome Set elpee may be my album of the year so far. Or not. It's like they never left.
  11:29pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Bid?
  11:33pm
Holly in NC:

@efd - At first I figured that was an obscure Kids in the Hall reference - I have next to no French. But now I have that phrase, at least!
  11:38pm
Holly in NC:

So far Dark Entries (the label) has done no wrong. Really impressed.
  11:39pm
esha:

wow that song was great
  11:41pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Against all odds, if you insist on digging the late 70s synth stuff, the Human League's "Travelogue" really stands up, not sounding the least dated.
  11:42pm
Holly in NC:

efd, you're killing it, this is my favorite song on this lp (King Tuff)
  11:44pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

King Tuff. Pretty much tops.
  11:48pm
Danne D:

Hi Funk Fans :(
  11:51pm
Richard from Venezuela:

Hi Danne. What happen?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:52pm
efd:

Hi Danne! I assume from your emoticon that the Devils lost.
  11:56pm
Holly in NC:

Hi Danne!
  11:59pm
G:

Devils pucked up, lost 2-1 in OT. No celebratory chocolate run tonight...
  12:00am
Holly in NC:

As always, thank you Evan.
Danne, hugs
  12:01am
Danne D:

Yes. :(

Looking forward to your archive cheering me up :)

Still a long series to go :) Devils lost game 1 in their last 2 series also.

GO DEVILS!!!
