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.

Whoa. New Doug Tuttle elpee? Where the heck have I been?

JakeGould:

@DanneD: If this means anything to you, I work near Barclays Center and there’s an Islanders game tonight so I hate to trudge through the crowds to get home. One guy said, “Who the fuck are they playing tonight? The Devils?” Response, “No…” to which the guy retorted, “Good, I hate the fucking Devils.”

I remember laughing with my teenage friends (all already confirmed prog fans) at how overboard the slamming of "Love Beach" was when it first appeared
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:17pm

I dunno, John! But I'm glad you're here now - you and Danne posting back to back reminded me that I need to recruit a new player for the efd fantasy baseball league!

I noticed that! And my gosh, that could be record of the year territory.

Danne D:

LOL @Jake - nope

Have you noticed how much "King of the Hill"s Hank Hill resembles Dave Berg's "Lighter Side" surrogate self, and the whole comedic tone and visual style of that show is influenced by Berg?
