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.

hey all!
  9:13pm

id really like to hear the backstory of how Billy Gibbons came to put out a split with such artists, on such a label
  9:13pm

Ya just don't hear Moon Martin on the radio all that much.

God I love WFMU.

Did Pussy become Black Widdow or was that Pesky Gee!?
  9:33pm
Pine:

It was Pesky Gee!, always get them confused
  9:35pm
john:

Hey Evan! For the record, Mickey Gallagher also played on a couple Clash albums and toured with them. I'm also going to go out on a limb and say Talk Talk Talk is my fave P. Furs elpee.
  9:41pm
Joe D.:

love love love love love this new Twerps.

Good evening all from Portland.

ha, I can tell Danne D isn't listening right now or he'd be all over that. Hi Droll, and hi Amanda, chad, Barkevious and everyone else!

SteveL:

How is neighborhood life around Jersey City? Things still piecing together?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:13pm
efd:

I'm not the best person to ask since I'm really only in JC on Wednesday nights, but at this point I think the biggest issue is that the PATH train to NYC only runs until 10pm. Not sure when they'll get back to 24-hour service. And Hoboken (next town over) still has no PATH service at all.
  10:14pm
Droll:

DanneD and I are probably the worst offenders, but WFMU DJs seem to be awful sympathetic to prog. Some will even apologetically admit they like it.
Killer Neil cover (I supplied my own HUuuuhh's)
  10:15pm
Danne D:

Hi Funk Fans :)

So you mean I missed Eddie Jobson in that small window b/w getting out of my car at the Starbucks and getting my drink and my computer up and running!?!?

Thank goodness for the archives :)
  10:16pm
Danne D:

Hi everyone :)

Hola Ricardo, glad to see you here :)
  10:16pm
Danne D:

Hi Amanda too :)
  10:17pm
Joe D.:

almost definitely gonna buy this record. Despite my objection to Burger Records.
  10:17pm
Danne D:

WFMU is leading the Prog Revolution, Droll :D
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:18pm

what? How can you object to Burger records?
  10:18pm
steve:

play some Starcastle
  10:19pm
G:

or not :-P
  10:20pm
Danne D:

Droll, did you see this? I'd be inclined to go except that I really don't like cruises (can't swim and there's the whole the Captain is actually the law of the land deal) and then there's the fact that this cruise would be full of prog rock fans:

http://abcnewsradioonline.com/music-news/2012/10/16/lineup-announced-for-yes-headlined-prog-rock-cruise.html
  10:20pm
Droll:

DD, Keep acting like prog is perfectly normal. Just like "Disco Sucks", it will pass and eventually we will be rewarded for our preservation efforts.
  10:22pm
Danne D:

Yup, I'm telling you Droll, 2012 was a big year for Prog Appreciation.

Btw, I love that said cruise was actually foretold here in this thread a year earlier: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82097
  10:23pm
Danne D:

  10:25pm
Joe D.:

A. I object to the cassette fetishism. I love cassettes, but I feel like a 7 dollar cassette pressing of something thats already on vinyl or cd (on another label no less) is essentially pointless.
B. I had a group of friends (one of which is a notable FOT) drive from NJ to Austin on the promise that they could film the climax of their mockumentary at Burger's SXSW showcase... only to arrive 3 days later and get a text message saying "Well, you can really just film it anywhere and say it's SXSW...
  10:26pm
Joe D.:

they sign alot of really great bands though I'm hating on them as I continue to paypal them all sorts of $$$
  10:27pm
Droll:

DD, I saw that cruise, not really my thing either. I did see UK (Seattle) a few months ago, and Prog bands hold up well over time, so it might be good entertainment. I just can't handle 5,000 prog rockers at once. For a week. On a ship.
  10:29pm
G:

What's the over-under on number of suicides off of that cruise ship? :-P
  10:29pm
Danne D:

LOL Droll exactly. Can't imagine the best M/F ratio there.

Didn't realize that UK was touring as well - that would be fun to see actually, I think. Where did you see them in Seattle? Crocodile?
  10:30pm
john:

Over/under is "three too few."
  10:33pm
steve:

i cant help but wonder what a Tangerine Dream set sounds like in 2012
  10:34pm
Droll:

G, That's a self-selecting audience, your vulgarities and horrors are another man's pure pleasure.
D, Triple Door, best hall in town. The M/F ratio is inversely proportional to the on-stage wanking.
  10:34pm
SteveL:

@G: Good question. So many hopes to be dashed.
  10:35pm
G:

i probably know more about Yes than anybody here. but i wouldn't be caught dead on that cruise. 0:-)
  10:35pm
G:

@steve: on youtube, search "tangerine dream 2012" for a sample
  10:37pm
Droll:

. o O ( See what I mean -- they're all closet prog fans! )
Stop apologizing, prog is perfectly normal music!
  10:37pm
Danne D:

Prog Rock Is Good For Your Head
  10:38pm
Mrs. Horn:

I'll be on Lido Deck.
  10:38pm
Droll:

DD, Don't overdo it. It's normal. Everyone does it.
  10:39pm
G:

See what I started? Months ago, I mentioned what happened to Mrs. Horn on a Pseu Braun comments board, and someone really took it to heart LOL
  10:39pm
Danne D:

I remember a Best Show chat where everyone was out-progging each other (for example my first car was a '71 Blue Ford Maverick that I dubbed the Tarkus).

That competition basically stopped when someone noted that they had learned like the tabbing for 3/4 of Tales from Topic Oceans
  10:41pm
Danne D:

@G - heh these comments boards are amazing for that sort of thing. I was traveling a couple weeks back and made like 1 comment and it proceeded to divert the entire comment board for the next hour I think
  10:43pm
Danne D:

(Meanwhile as we yammer on, EFD is providing yet another kick-ass set)

Hi Evan. Please play some Titanics next.

Never fear, EFD, dfk (also known as #608) is here!

Echoes of the Boston heyday...Glad Nat F. is still out there delivering.
  10:46pm
Carolyn:

Damn.
  10:49pm
SteveL:

All three singers for these bands have a great higher/nasally quality. Could that be the reason for grouping them in concert? Or am I just high?
  10:49pm
G:

That's not an either/or, steve. :)
  10:50pm

Because they're touring together, they just all got colds at the same time.

happy holidays everybody!!

InBrkly:

Nah I meant Thomas Function. Changed the laundry after that and now dig'n The Associates.
  11:36pm
Barkevious Shabazz:

Even the fact that you see the associates album cover when you look up "Reverb" in the dictionary doesn't stop the album from sporting 3 or 4 ace singles.

Shane Victorino:

Yeah!
  11:41pm

hell yeah social media airhorn!!!!

Mary, you'll see when you come into the studio.

Hi cheri, 2 weeks til the Christmas show.

Not sure I"m any happier about Shane Victorino turning up on the comments board than I am about him joining the Red Sox. Which is to say, not that happy.

Joe D.:

Spanish Moss is on Burger too. Im probably just gonna cancel my jihad :(
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50pm
efd:

Well this release is on Spot-On Sound, if that's any consolation. I get what you're saying about the cassettes (as I hinted at on Facebook last night), but they put out such great records that I can't hate on them for that. Plus they were super-nice when I went to the store in September. And they're nice to animals!
  11:52pm
steve:

i found a copy of the Infinity PEople record (co-released on Burger) right after the show last week! so awesome

Thanks 12539!

Uncle Michael, no, I'm not really a fan -- especially if it's laying the groundwork for an Ellsbury trade as some suspect.
  11:58pm
steve:

i hope the airhorn accented social media becomes a recurring segment.
  11:58pm
Uncle Michael:

I think he's a bad signing mainly because of his age.

The only time I ever saw the JSBE, they were opening for Bostonian friends.
