Many thanks to freealonzo for a great journey through 1978. As I learned during the week, I'll play one of my favorite songs from that year.
(Sorry for playing Christmas music so early.)

It's been a while since we've heard from these boyos, and It's been a while since I posted a video. A big congratulations (and thanks for a good guest dj week) goes out to the pirate.

"The casserole was good and the drives were so nice. Welcome to the worst part of your life."
I'd also entertain notions that "Check Fraud" (vocal version) and "What-A-Day Day" by the same artist could be nominated, but by gum does that turntable solo kick ass and flip genres. Basically, it's a Neil Young-type ballad with record scratches for drums and guitar solo. I saw Broder play this once at First Ave, after I had become familiar with the album. I was mesmerized.
i admitted this elsewhere recently, but i just got into my first replacements album last week. you don't need to say it...
