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.

You've been warned.

I didn't notice anything about a limited edition, and frankly I don't think I want to check that closely. But maybe?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44pm

That's a very complex piece of art. Contradictory, yet to the point. Or something.

okay THAT'S interesting!

OK, so check out a version of The Sound of Summer by Hungary's Neoton Familia. Kinda cable-access ABBA. Cover art for their song Oh Happy Day also worth a look. I'm taking an extra Xanax and going to bed.

I have that version too, joe! Played it a few years ago, but it's due for another spin.

Actually your pronunciation was the americanization--the actual pronunciation is the from the throat "cha" as in Chutzpah for Charigim

ah, noted. Thanks Michael!

Like CHanukah. Same thing--although the way it is spelled in English it is hard to tell

Please no more discussion of the guttural “ch”.

Killer production on Sleaford Mods. Putting them on my to-see list.

Hi Ja-ch!

but I was just about to mention CHallah!
  11:53pm
JakeGould:

@efd: You can mention Challah. I’m fine with that and who am I to say on your show? But pronunciation of the guttural “ch” is so pedantic.

@Stevel: When you pronounce “Gorilla Angreb,” make sure you roll the “gre” so it’s like “Gorilla AngKrCHeb.”

Duly noted (avoiding heavy consonants.)
