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.

...hm - tight but not uptight - great songs, smart - but ketchy. Thx everybody!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:51pm
coelacanth:

all of my favorite stranglers songs are on "the raven"...but i'm sure i'm in the minority on that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:53pm
coelacanth:

Rabbit i know what you mean. they're naturally tight because they're passionate about what they're doing.
Avatar 9:55pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Wull, they got these smart songs down & arranged - but they haven't smoothed out the Rawkin' edges. A pinch of Television maybe - but that's not quite it...Impressive.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:56pm
efd:

This is also not their first rodeo*, which I think helps with the tightness.

*with all due respect
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02pm
coelacanth:

right. like Rabbit said- not "uptight"...i guess "tight" to some means "slick" or "clean", but i'm generally not a fan of sanitized music. this just sounds like they know what they're doing and they're comfortable with each-other.

- yeah this is a good stranglers song!
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:02pm
Stevel:

Cool cover. Don't hear many people taking on the Stranglers. Enjoying it.

Jeff:

Hello, Funksters.

Hey, please don't be disturbed if there's a blip in your stream listening - possibly even the stream stopping for you. If that happens, hit play again and you should reconnect (to a different server).

I have to apply a security update to one of the stream servers and reboot it, so if it's the one you're now listening to you'll notice. Sorry!

thanks for the warning, Jeff!

@Jeff: What if someone chooses to be disturbed but not in a way that interferes with others? I think that should be allowed.

Okay, as you were - both stream servers are freshly updated and back up; DNS for your first-choice stream server now points back to our Noo York City presence.

Take that, CVE-2016-0728.

@Jake: that's a matter for you and your security blanket. It's nobody else's business.

Not to "Schinderize" you, but Wilbert Harrison first cut it as "Let's Stick Together", then later as "Let's Work Together".

ah, thanks Todd! The Canned Heat version was one of the first singles I ever bought, so I've always thought of it as "Let's Work Together." I appreciate the clarification!
