efd's avatar View efd's profile Favoriting

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.

longish:

Hey -- thanks Mr. Davies. I thought they might've been earlier, perhaps mid-70s, sorta proto-New Wave.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:40pm
efd:

Understandable thought, longish! I guess they were straight-up new wave, without the proto! :)

hi Julie! I saw you too, way up in the front from my spot way in the back! And then I had to drop off my premium master and hightail it upstairs to get ready for the show.

very chill show this evening, and VERY chilly out by me right now on the other side of the hudson

Avatar 10:14pm
Alejandroool:

that's how I see it also. Actually a few people like to say the last half like Handreaux (Hon-dro/Han-dro). Spanish speakers prob say "Ale". Used to go by Alex a lot.

- maybe i should just ask you? -i always thought it was "al-e-han-dro".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:19pm
coelacanth:

i thought maybe cait brennan had a surprising (to me) gaelic pronunciation - like cian nugent.
Avatar 10:23pm

that's correct, cc - tho don't mind much what ppl wanna call me.

Maria Muldaur has that covered.

the ticket giveaway naming rights are available as far as I know (but it ain't cheap!) - should be in here somewhere:
