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.

@Jakegould could be, there are some songs that go viral and get played on a lot of shows
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:13pm

probably because of this box set that came out in 2019

Much as I enjoy the holiday fill-in shows, it was nice to have the usual WFMU Wednesday crew on duty today. Especially since I haven't been able to listen that much on weekdays lately.

Wow, Ladymonix made it to #3! I got a couple of other dance tracks to recommend to you, Evan, if I ever remember to do it.

Eddy in Australia:

Happy New Year Evan and everyone. Haven't been able to listen live and comment for ages but couldn't miss your best-of show. I'll give my vote for No. 1 single to The Anemic Boyfriends, even though I love that Exbats song (and it's on an Australian label, for some weird reason).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:16pm
efd:

Eddy and Aitch, how are you guys doing with the wildfires? It sounds like a horrible situation.
  10:25pm
Eddy in Australia:

Safe and unaffected in my part of Melbourne. Spent some of the holidays in the countryside but it's also an area which has (so far) escaped the bushfires. What's going on elsewhere is terrifying. And don't get me started on our idiot PM.
  10:27pm
Carmichael:

Seems to be a universal theme, Eddy. Be safe.

Kat in Chicago:

Such a great version of "Darling Be Home Soon"
Avatar 10:27pm
RobinSays:

WFMU played "Darling Be Home Soon" over and over on September 11. I was freaking out in my little room at St. Mary's Residence across the street from the station until I went to the station where I spent the afternoon with Scott Williams and Bob Gruen who happened to be stuck in JC. Their company was very comforting. Here's to a more peaceful decade...

Aitch:

Just smoke in Sydney, lots of it. Some dear friends may or may or not have a house when they get home about 3 hrs south. Surrounded by warehouses here, more chance of being burnt by a meth-head than a rogue tree.
  10:31pm
Carmichael:

Apropos of nothing, just saw the Searching for Sugarman doc last night. Thanks to FMU for teaching me.
  10:31pm
Eddy in Australia:

Carmichael: Thanks. Yep, there's a few of them in charge of things at the moment.

Well, stay safe down over there in Australia.

Mdou. Astounding. Hope some of you saw him. My angles didn’t pan out, although, I think he did swing through Chicago.
