This week we’re dedicating our radio show to songs that refer to other bands<\/b>. We’ve recorded a short promo<\/a> to explain our position on this complex and far-reaching topic. For example, Robyn Hitchcock has songs that are about or refer to Arthur Lee, Arthur Cane, David Byrne, Nick Lowe, and the Higsons. They Might Be Giants has \u201cWe\u2019re the Replacements,\u201d \u201cRhythm Section Want Ad,\u201d and \u201cTwisting\u201d (my fave for the dB\u2019s reference).<\/p>\n

We hope this topic will be rich enough to create a dazzling playlist of utter gems.<\/p>\n

Your help naming songs is totally useful and appreciated. And I hope Scott likes it. How is the rock radio in Norway, anyway?<\/p>\n

Rock Geek F.M. is broadcast on 90.1 FM and webcast on http:\/\/weft.org<\/a> Saturday mornings at the hung-over hour of 8-9 a.m. Chicago time.<\/em><\/p>\n

And here’s the whole show on MP3.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for listening. I hope Neil Young will remember…<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>

I forgot!<\/p><\/div>\n

Saturday the 31st on Rock Geek F.M.<\/b> Cristy and I are looking for songs that name their own band<\/i>\u2014songs whose lyrics include the name of the band that plays them<\/b>. Unfortunately, we must steer away from rap for this theme, as it is part of the genre for rappers to discuss themselves. When it happens in a rock song, though, it can be a bit jarring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
