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.

In Prince-adjacent news, Wendy and Lisa say The Revolution will be reuniting and playing some shows soon. I hope that actually happens. It would help ease some of the pain 2016 has inflicted upon us.

@Faye packing is bullshit, solidarity. i was supposed to be moving across town on Friday but there was some kind of inconvenient fire incident so that's on hold for now

Still a big fan of Controversy. It really stood out, back in the day.
  9:43pm
JakeGould:

@Stevel: Yes! I have had “Controversy” as an ear worm for the past few days. I even impulsively played it on my iPhone without headphones (!!!) on the subway when I needed a boost this morning. Nobody complained.

Ken From Hyde Park:

I was driving across town this afternoon and a local station played Prince's "When You Were Mine" and it was glorious.

For a second I thought this track was “Lucretia, My Reflection” by Sisters of Mercy.
