Mark Leutwyler will bring in his own records and dazzle you with whatever is up his sleeve.

7/30/2008 Dance that Funky Dance
Waxploitation is putting on another funky get-down on 8/1 (finally!), which always puts me in a good mood. And when I'm in a good mood, I aim to put you in a good mood. Love how that works...

7/16/2008 1978 A (Mostly) Pop Retrospective
If hindsight is 20/20, then 1978 was a banner year in music. Punk was already imploding, new wave was on the rise, and disco became mainstream. I don't know what it was that invoked the madman in me (maybe the opportunity to play butt rock and shout over some intros), but Daddy is a little unhinged during this one.

7/9/2008 Bootzilla Attacks!
Everyone loves Bootsy Collins. We plow through his buried treasure with the JB's, the Houseguests, Fatboy Slim, Parliament, and his absurd solo records.

7/2/2008 Chef's Suprise
Stirring things up with The Voices of East Harlem, Nomo, Steinski, Grupo Fantasma, Prince, Wes Henderson, and a very special mix of "Superstition."
