Dave Allen’s Neighborhood

Posted by Mercury at 9:00 AM

…and here comes the whipper-snappers. As we bring this series to its end, Dave looks back over the previous episodes and wonders if he’s stated his thesis or only just amused himself (and hopefully you as well, dear listener) listening to old records.

No matter. From the UK in the 70s to New York in the oughts: now enjoy neo post-punk posters children Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, and The Rapture. Newly contextualized.

The Jump Off Takes You Back

Posted by Mercury at 12:53 PM

In this week’s episode of It’s the Jump Off, Chas takes you back to the early ’80s, when rap, electric funk, and proto-techno collided in insanely breakdanceable songs like Grandmaster Flash’s “Scorpio,” World Class Wrecking Cru’s “Juice,” Egyptian Lover’s “Dance,” and our favorite of all, Newcleus’s “Wikki Wikki Song!” Wikki Wikki Wikki!

This week on THE ROCK REPORT, Christine S. Blystone introduces you to the wonderful world of cover songs performed by gothic doom metal band Type O Negative. ‘Sure, big deal, right?’ I hear you scoff. Well, you would think a metal band wouldn’t be caught dead covering things like Neil Young’s Cinnamon Girl, Seals & Crofts’ Summer Breeze, or The Beatles’ Day Tripper, right? Well, Type O Negative did cover these songs—and they freaking rock! Check it out in today’s episode.
