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.

I haven't thought about Diana Dors in years. She was a pinup/sweater girl and actress in the 60s in the UK -- did she ever havce any success over here?

Little known fact -- her birthname was Diana Fluck. Be careful pronouncing it.
  11:21pm
Joe:

pronunciation hint: the "l" is silent
  11:24pm
Joe:

Everytime you've played this Bare Wires, I've not been paying attention. So now I'm dealing with the interesting phenomenon of being fully capable to sing along to a song I've never actually -heard- before.

The only other place where that's happened to me is with the Moody Blues songs my mother started exposing me to in utero.
  11:24pm
FCC:

I double dog dare ya.
  11:27pm
hoagies:

  11:29pm

  11:43pm
masters and johnson:

  11:47pm
Joe:

  12:16am
Joe:

FU tim. FU right in the A.

Nah I'm just kidding - you alright, man.
  12:20am
Joe:

Actually, you know what, hating on Yo La Tengo on a WFMU message board is an intensely ballsy move. I support it.
  12:21am
tim:

i love yo la tengo. im just not sure its my kind of record.
  12:24am
tim:

but for the record "nowhere to hide" is up on my top 5 songs of the year. good day for releases by the way. polvo. yo la tengo. raekwon.
  12:24am
Joe:

ohhhhh. Yeah I'm actually not crazy about the new record, either. You're definitely right about that being one of the high points.
  12:25am
tim:

slumberland go
  12:27am
tim:

where are you from joe?
  12:30am
Joe:

New Raekwon is super dope. Picked it up before class, been bumping it all day. Not sure if it's instant classic status yet though. I am currently located in the beautiful Skylands of North Jersey, sir.
  12:35am
tim:

yeah i like alot of it. def the first side. he came through. alot of hype and i believe he lived up to it.
  12:37am
tim:

i have a request for the dj. is he listening?
  12:37am
efd:

yes, he is!
  12:40am
tim:

hey. how about some thinking fellers union local 282. "hornets heart"?
  12:40am
Danne D:

celeste:

Hi Evan - great set, we are dancing in our living room in Berkeley, California!

tim:

sabrina the teenage witch. im sure you havent heard that before. geeeeeee
  12:59am
efd:

hey Celeste! great to hear from you, glad you're enjoying the set!
Joe, credit goes to A-Bones honker Lars Espensen for the old-timey sax sound.
Sabrina, I learned a while ago not to make a promise I might not keep.
  1:01am
Danne D:

you must be crazy too cuz I love the YFFs as well :)

Sabrina was one of Charlie's Angels. I'm sure she hasn't hear that one either :o)
  1:04am
coalhard:

WOULD EVERYBODY STOP DEMONIZING OBAMA--THE MAN IS TRYING HIS DAMNEST TO HELP EVERYONE--GIVE US A BREAK!!!!!
  1:07am
sabrina lane:

  1:08am
celeste:

We like the McKinley's version better. Play it again!
  1:09am
Joe:

That Mckinley's version was straight heaven.
  1:22am
coalhard:

FANTASTIC SHOW!!!!!LOVE WFMU
  1:22am
Joe:

How can you go wrong with a comp called "Steppin' into the 80s?"

Is the cover art suitably 80sish?
  1:24am
stingy d:

yo funkaho! i can't listen right now but yr in my heart! (no homo)
  1:25am
Joe:

That was literally the greatest comment ever.
  1:33am
efd:

Joe, that's a hard point to argue.
  1:34am
Amanda:

I will not be arguing it either.

Certainly an 80stastic album cover, enhanced by the console in the background of the photo, which I thought at first was part of the cover art.
  1:34am
Joe:

I know, I'm a little upset about it. stingy d might have won at commenting, forever.

PS - That cover exceeded my expectations in ways I can only barely comprehend. The fonts! The lineup! THE SHOES!
  1:35am
Joe:

And of course, the crushed beer can, just to make it edgy.
  1:41am
efd:

yeah, there was too much glare when i tried to do a straight overhead shot, so i had to lean it against something and the console was the handiest thing.
  1:47am
Amanda:

But the console is even in the same color scheme!

It's like it took everything you thought you knew about the 80s and made you re-understand it. (I am referring to stingy's comment.)
  1:51am
Danne D:

Hi Amanda! :) (wow, you're up late!)
And good night funk friends!
:)
  1:53am
coalhard:

:)
  1:54am
Danne D:

Ted Leo :)
okay now I really am going to sleep!
  1:55am
Amanda:

I know... didn't think I'd get in from JC in time to catch any of you, but glad I did. Goodnight!

This version of this song has been in my head all day...
  2:06am
Peteski:

Great show, thanks for that Steppin into the 80s pic, (and liked the "Do you think Kim Clijsters is a fan of Wooden Shjips?" tweet) and the smart aleck FOT/BS asides.
  9:30am
JonFromMaplewood:

What is the bed music? And if it changes, what was the bed music specifically on the evening of September 8, 2009? It burned my eyebrows off. Thank you in advance. -Jon
