Favoriting Discotech Underground with Kip Brown: Playlist from May 29, 2025 Favoriting

Discotech Underground's avatar View Discotech Underground's profile Favoriting

Discotech Underground is actually two...two...two shows in one!

The first half is a "Happy Hour" of sorts (because it's five o'clock somewhere, right?), spinning the kinds of sounds you might have heard at a real, authentic 1960's DISCOTECH as cool cats and swingin' chicks danced the night away in their mod threads and mini skirts to hard-driving sounds under the flashing lights! The only thing missing are the cage dancers...but we're working on it!

The second half is for when you head home after a wild night, and ease in with the heady, trippy, mind-expanding sounds of a groovy free-form UNDERGROUND rock radio station that digs deep into their library and blows your mind all over again!

Discotech Underground:

Hey Underground Discotechers! The show will be starting soon but I am going to do a little audience participation this time!

As you may know, my last set is usually a wild card where I do just about anything. Today, I'm going to leave it up to you to decide what happens with the last set.

You have two choices...

The live version of Traffic "Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" from the "On The Road" LP...

OR...

Some 70's/80's Indie power pop singles from my private stash that have never been played on DU and only one has ever been played on WFMU at all!

So, cast your vote here in the chat and I will tabulate them as we go!

And awaaaaay we go!

All the singles so far are from south Texas and I grew up in Houston and as a listener to local radio I heard none of them. Several reflect the 13th Floor Elevators which I heard on radio and saw in 66/67.

When I lived in Minnesota going to radio school, people said IOWA stood for "Idiots Out Wandering Around". Lots of friction between the three "I" states and their neighbors to the north. Michigananders pick on Hoosiers all the time! Minnesotans and Wisconsinites do the same.

Exactly --- and it was even stranger back then, if you can believe it. I used to have hypnosis tapes running just barely audibly in the mix the whole show.

Btw... I was born in Oklahoma even though I live in Texas now... of course there are a million Aggie jokes but one of my favorite jokes about the difference between Texan and an Okie is that a Texan walks up and puts it in but a Okie puts it in and then walks up...:)

And it worked! We actually had a 45 year old townie pizza delivery guy who would stop in on the show, play one record, and rant about the coming worker's revolution. He was literally called "The Pizza Marxist" and people tuned in just for his rants.

Hmmmmmm, either would be great, but it's been awhile since I've heard any traffic and I'm going to a power pop/glam rock DJ night tomorrow, so Traffic.

That's amazing! I hope you rolled tape on that. "The Pizza Marxist" would make a great log in name for a message board somewhere.

It's a pretty broad sounding genre, but think post-Beatles pop a la Bad Finger, Raspberries, and Big Star for the early stuff, and bands like Cheap Trick and The Knack for the somewhat later stuff.
