Thanks so very much for the Medieval set (on 7/20/03). I haven't heard any of those songs in years and at one time they were played at my house constantly. I love your show and have even gotten an evening job so I don't have to get up early on Monday.
Rock forever, Kate Dupre

I love your show, man.. I'm Keith. I live in a suburb of Dallas. Every Sunday night, at about 8 PM, I get in my car, and hump my way to the l ovely little town of Longview, Texas to begin my work week. I tune my radio to 93.3 "The Bone" and settle in for as long as my car will pick up the signal of the unbelievable sounds coming out of the Underground Garage. It takes me back to the days of growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, in the early to mid-70's, where the "Mighty 1090" of KAAY used to broadcast the tunes that would help form my musical taste for the rest of my life, thanks to a man named Clyde Clifford. I got to hear a bunch of music that I never would have heard on commercial radio, and it changed my life. Little Steven reminds me so much of those days... good music, punctuated with some history behind the creation of the songs. It makes me wish I stoned while I was listening, so I could pretend I was 15 again! I guess that ultimately, all I want to say is that I enjoy the hell out of your show, and I wish I could buy a CD (or multiple CD's) that would encompass all of the shows that you've broadcast, including all the commentary. See, I don't want just the songs.. I wanna hear Little Steven telling me about them, too.

I was listening to 93.3 The Bone in Dallas last night (Sunday) and heard Little Steven talking about this wonderful place in Copenhagen, Denmark called Christiana. I actually lived in Copenhagen for about 5 months while studying abroad in college. The dorm I lived in was about a 5 minute bus ride from Christiana. Needless to say, my friends and I spent the majority of our time sitting in Cafe Nemo Land on Pusher Street smoking hash and playing pool. I'm so glad to hear that other people have discovered this wonderful place and the amazing people that live there. I hope to return someday to find that nothing has changed. It made my day and brought back so many good memories when I heard about Christiana on the radio. Thanks!!!
Your fellow Christiana lover, Katie Baker

Thank you so much for playing such great music on the radio. I look forward to turning on my radio every Sunday at 8:00 and being able to hear the music I like to listen to and make for two hours. I go out of my way to remind all my friends about it and how they need to listen to the Underground Garage. It is great to hear the mix of old and new, just being able to hear the Stones followed by the Woggles followed by Eddie Cochran followed by the 45's, etc., etc., is enough to make my whole nite go great. Not only that but I love all the stories and background information that Little Steven provides. I have been a fan of the Boss for years and deep down I also knew that the pirate was the cool guy in the band. This radio show just reaffirms it.
Well thanks for saving Rock "n" Roll Radio, Eric Deuce
P. S. I listen to 93.3 The Bone in Dallas, TX

We listened to your show last Sunday on WZGC, 92.9 in HotLanta (Atlanta for the uninitiated). I played the jukebox from your website just to see how it worked. I stepped away while it loaded and your show started. And, then after a few minutes of listening, I slowly realized I was hearing a sound I had not heard in ages. I then nearly fell down when I thought I heard the New York Dolls “Personality Crisis". I started dancing. The wife started dancing. She danced so hard that one of her hands swung up and clocked me right on the temple with her ring finger. Man, it's been ages since we pogoed and got bloodied at the same time. Thanks for bringing back music a middle-aged man & woman can dance to.

Simply put: you guys rock. I wouldn't change a thing. I mean, if one were to look up "cool" in the dictionary, well, you probably wouldn't be there because all things awesome are often regrettably under-appreciated. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you people for putting something on the radio worth listening to, and for all the exposure to those great bands worthy of the title "garage rock."
Rock on!, Rachel, Houston, TX

I was flipping through the stations while working at home, kids in bed, wife asleep, when I heard the Velvet Underground's LOADED Sweet Jane. I wondered what the hell was happening?! What's this? Not this version. HOLY SHIT! But when I heard Lady Jane, I suddenly remembered that feeling I had, at 14 years old, a brief flash that felt like my 50 year old stomach was nervous, that feeling I got when I first fell in love with a guitar and how my fingers could make those SOUNDS! But, life slapped me really hard right then, very hard, and I had to put the guitar down and I never played again. And I got good, fast. It was my big regret, but I put it out of my mind. Life was rough, I could not afford the time. 35 years passed and now my 5 year old son (I started late), he touches the radio with his hands and sits and listens to the rock and roll. When he likes the song he puts his hands on the speaker grill and sits and rocks back and forth. he actually FEELS it. Tonight, when I heard the songs you played, my mind and soul filled with a flash flood of feelings I had thought were buried and long gone. I have those records dammit, 1000's I keep in a warehouse, all of the ones you played, and I thought about selling the load because I thought: why should I keep them? Your radio program has changed my mind, probably my life, and now I want to play those records for my three kids. When I die those records are going to my kids. Thank you. I felt that feeling, for the briefest of seconds, in my guts. I had to write to say I guess I AM still alive. This Machine Lives.
David James, Alexandria, Virginia

I'm one of those people for whom music is a religion...It makes life worth living. Consequently I find a lot to despair about in the current state of radio...With that in mind, it would be wrong for me not to tell you that "Little Steven's Underground Garage" is, without question, the most mind-blowingly glorious thing to happen to rock & roll in twenty years. I haven't been this set on fire by music since IRS's "The Cutting Edge" back in the mid-80s. Keep up the outstanding work.
Greg Peace, Annapolis, Maryland

Simply awesome. several times now I've found myself driving around @ nite on a Saturday and have turned the sound up and said.......Who is this? This is what radio was meant to be all about. Don't go changin. Yeah baby Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hamish Watt, Vancouver, Washington

Just thought I'd drop you an email to thank you for a great program. I drive a cab in Philly and am therefore forced to listen to a lot of radio throughout the week just to drown out the idiot passengers. Sunday nights 10-midnight are the highlight of the week, I listen on Magic 102.9. Please tell them otherwise to stop playing so much Foreigner, Styx, Journey, Van Halen. It wouldn't kill them to play one Sex Pistols song every now and again. Also, I like Led Zeppelin, but hey I've had all 5 of their albums for over 20 years. If I feel the need to hear them again I'll play the cd. Change it up it a little. Please give me a list of your advertisers and I will patronage them to the best of my ability in loyalty to the show. Thanks again.....
Tim McCloskey

"wow." i just found out about this show. i live in the quad cities, il, and now listen sundays on q106 kcqq fm. and i just e-mailed THEM about how cool the show is. what a great show, man, i can't say it enough.
shane brown, rock island, il (quad cities)

The sounds the music facts Damn! I just go WILD! for this show. Hey Little Steven ya! really know how to switch it on you play on the tightest beats in Hollywood, CA, I love your show. Keep up the Great! work. Looking forward to the next one.
Cheers & Take Care, Eddie G

Caught your show while scanning on a bad Sunday night. Heard "Pretty Things" playing something I had only heard once in my life. Three shows brought me from Interested to Fan to Acolyte. The "Fan" show was the one about 1966. So, 1966 was a turning point. In retrospect, yes. I did not really notice. I turned 13 in '66 so to me everything was turning. Thank you for not only pointing that out, but backing it with academic grade references. And the songs. Then there is the new stuff you play. I absolutely would never hear that if not for you. Radio has been a huge part of my life. It was typically my only music. Even as an adult, when I travel it is radio for entertainment. 'Underground' FM was slow reaching Jacksonville, Florida where I grew up. But there was a famous AM pop station, WAPE – the 'big ape' there. In 1969 (arguably the end of the turn that began in '66) on Sunday nights from 11:00 to midnight there was "The Underground Circus". First heard “Tommy” on that. So now you are expanding the tradition of Underground on Sunday night. Great. Sell playlists to Classic Rock stations. They need it. Get a channel on Satellite radio. Little Steven's Underground Garage is where it is at. I will listen every chance I get, and do my best to patronize the sponsors. I surprise myself with how much of what he plays I recognize.

Cobb Sheridan

Thank you thank you thank you for being so damned cool. Good guitarist, super Sil, and now this. My affiliate is WTTS, Bloomington, Indiana, 92.3, Sundays, 7-10. This is the best radio I've ever heard. I love garage, punk, and just good old-fashioned rock n roll, and the show is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I've worked in many record stores over the years and I cannot tell you what pleasure it is to hear the Nuggets collections, wonderful pop, and the patter of the coolest man in the universe. Thank you so much for saving the world.

I never get a chance to listen to the radio on Sunday nights, but a few months ago I was driving home and flipped through the stations and caught a few songs from your show. I couldn't believe my ears. I knew this wasn't your average radio show. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to find out which, or who's show this was. About a month ago I was driving home again and tuned in to your show on 102.9 WMGK in Philly, this time I had an hour and a half drive and had a chance to really enjoy your show. I am hooked now. I actually tape your show so that I can listen to it during the day. These days the radio stations play the same songs all the time. Even when you love a band such as The Beatles you still only get to hear 5 or 6 songs that they alternate. That's what is great about your show, you play the great, and obscure songs from different bands that don't get a lot of air time. You also introduce so much new music from bands that I never even heard of before. I defy someone listening to your show in their car not to bob their head. Impossible, or else they better check for a pulse. Your show ROCKS!
Keep Rockin', Carl

Early Sunday evening belongs to The Sopranos. No ifs, ands or buts about that. Yes, I am a Sopranos fanatic, and damned proud of it. And you, a.k.a. Silvio Dante, are but one of the many good reasons for my devotion. (That, and the great acting from you and your castmates, the fantastic writing, the skillful directing, the courage and imagination of the individual episodes, and, last but certainly not least, Lorraine Bracco's legs. The rest of her is fabulous as well.)
Then, later in the evening, cometh the Underground Garage. What can I say, except that radio has needed a show like yours for, oh, only about fifteen years now. Simply put, you play what no one else will. (Including, but not limited to, the "oldies" stations who play Merilee Rush's "Angel of the Morning" 10,384 times a day, and "Mr. Tambourine Man" maybe once; the "classic rock" stations which play nothing but the Seventies all day long [the next time one of these stations plays "Sweet Home Alabama" for its usual 20,896 times a day, could someone please call the station playing it and ask: why do those guys think George Wallace was such a fucking hero?]; and, of course, today's "alternative" stations, which offer no alternative whatsoever.)
I have just finished listening to your tribute to 1967. As one who has worshipped in the Church of 1967 ever since that greatest year of my life ended, I say this with no reservation: you have made a sacred offering to The Holy Year. My mind, body and soul filled with joy this week, thanks to you.
Yes, Little Steven, you are my Lord of Sunday. Keep it up! May the Underground Garage stay open for rock and roll repairs, body work and tune-ups forever.
Please accept my deepest thanks and gratitude for your wonderful musical, theatrical and aural (i.e., radio) contributions to my life. Rest assured that I will keep Little Steven's Day holy.
Hartley Pleshaw

As a seventeen year old girl who found the 60's 4 years ago and Mod 1 year ago, I thought that my local oldies station would play The Kinks, Status Quo,Donovan,and the Yardbirds. I was wrong. But I heard of you while listening to Breakfast with The Beatles on KLSX in L.A., and now I never miss a show. I get to hear groovy, modish, psychedelic music that I like. Not the same songs every 30 minutes. Like you put film clips from films that relate to the show's theme or a main song from a cool film. Keep up the good work and thanks for putting on a groovy show.
Sincerely, Debbie Vasquez

Hey ! This radio show is the coolest ever. I listen to it on 99Rock ,WPLR New Haven CT. I'm 46 years old and play in a local band. We don't gig much (families and full time jobs ya know) but we get together and play...without fail...every Wednesday night. We get to play fake rock star a nd take it very seriously. Been doin' it for about 12 years now. Thursday mornings really bite but I can share my red eyed misery with my boys the next day. I've been listening now to your show ‘bout 6 weeks or so and been tellin' EVERYBODY about it. It is truly inspirational! Keep up the great show and I'm there every Sunday. Your show is very educational, reduces stress, and is low in trans-fatty rotating playlists.
Steve O. from RAW MATERIAL

First I wanna say that your show is the only reason to listen to the radio anymore. I love it! Thanks for bringing REAL rock'n'roll back to the radio. Keep up the great work!!
Mark Reznicek (93.3 The Bone - Dallas, TX listener)

Just wanted to say that I really love the show. I only discovered it recently from the Dictators website. I've been listening to the archives everyday for a month and will continue because it is my favorite show available on the web. Little Steven RAWKS!
Keep up the good work. Great format.
Blackie Crabtree

Hope the show runs forever.
Jon Redmond

Again, you amaze me with the spectrum of your interests. Hildegard von Bingen?!?!!!!! Let's take a moment to imagine how many in your audience have ever been exposed to this radical woman. You provide a wonderful, beautiful service by providing your young audience with individuals of this magnitude. My hat is off to you. Again, you da man....
Keep up the good work.....you provide a wonderful enlightening service for those who really find themselves in dark corners....
Many Blessings, Professor Wonderwheels

Just want to say the underground garage is like the best show on the air waves. I look foreword to listening every Sunday night on Big 106 in South Florida.
Zwiby

I was just turned on to your show. It's so fantastic. A friend gave a tape to my ex, who played it for me. One of the tapes was the Paris show - right on! You should play more in the red records artists. I love that label. That label gets all my money. I'm in Oakland CA. so I haven't heard the show, until I heard the tape. Keep rocking, I'm so glad I got turned onto your show!
Thanks, Rebecca Hell

I don't know how you do it, but your ability to balance a great radio show with another awesome tour with the greatest 10 man rock and roll band in history is amazing. I've been listening to your radio show for a long time now, and I especially appreciate the background information you give on all the current and classic garage artists you play. I learn something new every week.
Charlie D. in Boston

I just wanted to say your show allowed me to find the volume dial on my radio and knock some dust off the woofers as well. With your combination of few commercials and the most excellent music; most of which I've never heard before. I simply love the show and have told all my friends to tune in. The Animals are one of my favorite bands of all time. I've recently found a new admiration for the Kinks. Can't thank you enough for actually tailoring a radio station for me, even in the sorry state society is in.
Vance Rodger

Underground Garage is the coolest radio ever. And the website is a really cool place to escape during the workday, legally, and not get fired. Unless of course you spend too much time there, so I got to go now.
Eileen Corcoran

I just heard Little Steven's Underground Garage last Sunday night while driving back to NYC all the way from Oneonta. I have never written a station to laud a radio show before. There's nuthin' much to get excited about in NY radio now'a dayz. But Little Steven's show was AMAZING! His playlist combined with his old-school Wolfman Jack-ish DJ style kept me glued to Q104.3, and kept me sitting in my car outside my home just to keep listening after the 5 hour drive. I'm 26 years old, male, and I'm asking you guys to KEEP THIS SHOW PLAYING!
Regards!
Tony from Queens (Q104 New York listener)

Thank you Steven for 2 hours of great Kingsmen, DC5, Yardbirds, etc. and the songs that were one time hits that come back to live in the Underground Garage. The best two hours on Sunday radio by way of Arrow 93.7 Houston TX.
JG

I'm not sure who to be most thankful for. Teri Gross, the NPR super-interviewer who turned me on to your syndicated program. Or the sponsors. Or KDKB (Phoenix, 93.3 FM) and its sponsors. Or you for introducing me to The Ramones, The Prissteens, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, among others. Oh yeah, the MC5, too. This 55-year-old CPA was already familiar with the DC5, the Stones, and Phil Spector's "wall of sound." And my 20-something son re-introduced me to Aerosmith. Nonetheless, I pretty much tuned out of pop music after hearing "Tie a Yellow Ribbon...," "Horse With No Name," "Ventura Highway," "Seasons in the Sun," ad nauseum for the 800th time, each. Four years ago, I discovered Meat Loaf on my own and quite by accident. (Alright, garage band rock it ain't, but it flaunts the teen-age angst I had suppressed as I pursued my accounting degree, ran a practice, and raised my family.) I knew I had missed a lot, but didn't know to go about seeking the artists and sounds that really matter. Little Steven's Underground Garage is the best, and for me the only, resource for educating oneself as to what really matters--yesterday and today--in rock music. Oh, what the heck, thanks to all of you. Meat would say, "Never stop Rockin-n-n-n-n-nn!" I say, "You're the Man, Baby!" (Well, second only to Tony Soprano, maybe.) Seriously, thanks for everything,
Ken Kuenzli

My name is Jon McSweeney, I live near St. Louis, and I'm having a blast listening to the Underground Garage shows on the archives (I'm unaware of any station around here carrying the show, so this is fantastic!). I commend you, dude, for preaching the exalted rock and roll gospel with such passion.
Jon McSweeney

I listen to your show every Sunday night (at work) in Melbourne Florida. and wanted to thank you for the best entertainment that I have had in many years. The music takes me back to some of the best times in my life.I have always been a big fan of garage bands. (three man bands) I miss the raw purity of garage music. Oh yea: the question: WHAT IF THE HOKEY POKEY IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT?
Chef Don

just wanted to say i love the show... being 22, i learned of so many wicked tracks from it... i think it's cool that you're playing modern stuff (strokes, vines, mooney etc.) alongside the classics... it suits me and many of my friends. keep it up
chris (toronto)

Thanks for your radio program--it's the coolest!! I listen almost every week, even though it sucks having to get up that early; 8AM Sunday morning. Thinks are getting better--I found your website & realized I could listen live Sunday nite & to shows I missed!!! A special thanks for the Paris/1963 show last week; & particularly that intro to Serge Gainsbourg & the Kinks track entitled "See My Friends". I'd never heard that tune but really like it, having been a life-long Kinks fan. (I listened to alot of the music you play during my formative years & still think that Garage Rock of the 60's is the greatest.) Thanks again for the program!
Paul Sylvia, Hillsboro, NH

You rock, the show is great and even the intros are fantastic. To hear Lorraine Bracco introduce The Kinks, was ultra cool. You have the most diverse playlist and a sexy radio voice to boot. I wish you were on every day!!!!. I work on an ambulance in East Harlem, and I look forward to working overtime so I can listen to the shows while I fly around saving lives. Best always and keep up the terrific music.
Andrea Katsanakos

hi just wanted steven to know how cool his radio show was. i'm sorry i didn't tape it. i got up at least 3 times to dance,the music was great. i used to love radio also i used to stay up all nite listening to alison steele, vince scelsa etc. radio then was almost a education. can't believe steven knows the nuggets LP i thought only i knew it & loved it.....anyway i'll be listening in on sunday nites but i gotta get my tape machine going i can't remember the last time i wanted to tape something from the radio.....way too cool......thanks ....keep up the fab sounds...
marlene mizrahi

Congrats on your radio adventure!
Garage on, James Lowe (The Electric Prunes)

I LOVE THE SHOW!... We all care about this special music.
Handsome Dick Manitoba (The Dictators)

....Great music and a cool vibe. Hopefully, shows like this can crack through all the homogenized mediocrity on FM radio these days.
Danny Schechter, Executive Editor www.Mediachannel.org

Listened to the show last night--fantastic and lots of fun! Best of luck.
Mark Mansfield (Pope Spooky) (WARW Washington DC listener)

The show sounded great. Very impressive.
Jonesy, WFMU Radio (Host of The Glen Jones Radio Program and world record holder for the longest time ever on the air)

Wow! That is what I was saying as I listened to your first show on WAXQ 104.3 this past Sunday. The playlist, the between song (sets) conversation and play-by-play, the little Godfatheresque/Sopranoesque snippets, and, what's this, no commercials for TWO whole hours? (Well, I didn't hear any, but your sponsors should be proud of your thorough and effective plugs!) Honestly, and no corn intended, but it was as if I was listening to a (greatly) enhanced version of my own record collection of 60s-today's garage rock! This is the kind of programming I have longed to see the light, and you are doing it R-I-G-H-T! You are so correct in your belief that garage rock music reinvigorates the "art" of music, and soul and "mystery" of these songs as heard through the radio (for the first time most likely for many of them to these ears) was sensational! Excellent work, sir, and you have set me up for a nice end to my weekend on Sundays for some time to come!
With sincere thanks, Chris Golda, Oakhurst, NJ (Q104.3 New York listener)

Listened to the show last night. It was just great. I got such a thrill to hear the songs I haven't heard for so long & to hear some things for the first time. Thank you!!! Never thought I would ever hear this music on the radio again. The show is just great....I'm spreading the word!!!
Thanks again, Johnny V.

I just read the article on Billboard.com regarding the re: your syndicated show recorded at Hard Rock Cafe NY. I understand you played a song by the Dave Clark Five "Any Way You Want It". I just wanted to say that I too agree with you that they are one of the underrated bands of the British Invasion, and I plan on writing to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame foundation to complain about them not being inducted into the Hall of Fame. They were so instrumental during the 60's, plus they wrote alot of their music. Thanks for keeping them alive!
DC5 Fan / Richard Leon (KLSX Los Angeles listener)

I thought it was great... I'm sooooo sick & tired of being able to tell what day & what time it is, simply from what song is being played on our local "classic rock" station (ie: I know it's Tues. somewhere between 8:30am-9am when I hear Tangled Up In Blue)...classic of course, but, there's soooo much more out there from artists that's actually so much BETTER than what is "main stream popular" (ie: "Till The End Of The Day," "Take It So Hard," "Have Love Will Travel" - I don't know that I ever heard that stuff on the radio, and I grew up in NJ - 23 years of 102.7 WNEW for heaven's sake) ....Really, I think it's a fantastic format... those of us "in the know" so to speak, long time fans of Steven's, couldn't have hoped for a better host... so that all said, my sincerest CONGRATULATIONS on a job well, well done... THANKS for doing it and BEST WISHES to everyone involved in the Garage on what I think & hope should be a great future ....
AmyMac

Mr. Steven, I dig your show. I dig it the most cause it really swings and it's boss. If there is really a devotee of this garage band sound (local/regional teen beat, 1965-1968) THEN I AM THE ONE. I am an unordained Reverend Deacon of the Garage.
Eben Lewis

The Dave Clark Five, The Sonics, Yardbirds, Aerosmith . . . all in a row? I couldn't believe I actually had the radio on. Two of the best hours of my life. Ever. Keep it up and thanks a lot!
Deron Grams

Let Steven know he was super on sunday! Good luck! and thanks for keeping the garage flame burning!
David Wojciechowski (The Insomniacs)

What a great show you guys did last night! It brought back the mystery of radio and conjured up memories of listening to the WMCA Good Guys on my parents' kitchen radio back in the 60's. Can't wait for next Sunday night !!!
Dennis Drake (Q104.3 New York listener)

WOW! I turned the show on slightly late on 104.3 (NY), and heard "She Said", followed by Paul Revere & the Raiders, and I knew I was in for something good. It was the best and most fun radio show I have ever heard. It had passion. The old clips, the production, the atmosphere, the Mafia stuff, just great. And the music. The musical surprises, the stories! Oh man! I was in my car riding home from a basketball game, and was blown out of my seat. It was on the whole time. I didn't even come close to changing the station (as I normally do). (Of course, I didn't want my knuckles broken). I can't say the last time I heard "I'm Crying" or "Talk Talk" on the radio. And then to finish the show off with The Rascals, is there anyone better, as you asked - No! The show was - Absolutely great. Fantastic. I'll even go to the store, and buy some Dial soap, will plan to visit Hard Rock, whatever it will take to keep the show on. The only thing to try to express it: VERY, VERY, VERY,...... COOL!!!!
Tom Weber (Q104.3 New York listener)

Monday I've got Sunday Night On My Mind - THANK YOU for last night's show--in only 2 hours I lost 30 pounds & 35 years!! I haven't enjoyed 2 hours so much since that party in '68 with...oh never mind. You must have been listening when I was lamenting to my husband the lack of those 3 minute songs that rocked, with lyrics you could understand and repeat in public or in front of kids. Those songs are the background sound track to my life--a time when we listened to the radio while watching a TV show because we didn't want to miss hearing a new song from our favorite group or a new song from a new group. I haven't heard the names of most of those bands for 30 years but remembered them fondly as you played their songs. THANKS again for giving me back my youth. I look forward to the next show--in the meantime I'll be turning on as many people as I can to the show. Keep Rocking!!
Marge

Congratulations on a great first night of your new radio show! It's FANTASTIC!!! This is what radio should be. I also loved your personality, the goofing off, and the snippets in between - especially Ralph Kramden! I have only one request, PLAY MORE RAMONES TUNES!!! Much continued success to you and the new show!
Linda (Q104.3 New York listener)

Just wanted to say hello and congratulate you and your gang on the kick-off of your underground garage show last night. You did not disappoint! Man oh man it was great. The whole show was great. So exciting to hear all those gems on the radio. Ain't nothing wrong with listening to that stuff on records/tapes, but hearing that stuff on the radio and deejayed by you was just super fantasic. From the Sonics and the Creation to J. Geils, the Dolls and Greg & Andy's Chesterfield Kings, to everything in between, before and after...WOWZA!!Right now the only radio show I like and make a point to listen to is Don K.Reed's Doo Wop Shop (also Sun. nites), and now I'll start catchin' your show also. You truly got great taste, top notch... Thank you and bless you.
Best Regards, Candy Del Mar (Andy G. & The Roller Kings) (Q104.3 New York listener)

Congrats for a fabulous radio show.... We caught the second half of the broadcast on the car radio and it was insane hearing great music!!! Steven was perfect as the boss jock-- came across super conversational, down to earth, hip, relaxed and INFORMATIVE. The Shel Talmy story was well told and funny, too. It's fantastic that great sounds from the garage will be beaming into unsuspecting converts cars and homes-- the power of radio!!! I think it's gonna be an influential show, I just know it. What a total gas!
Miriam and Billy, Norton Records, New York City (Q104.3 New York listeners)

Great first show! Loved it, loved it, loved it - and I emailed WARW-FM and told them that. Where else can you hear the Dictators on the radio, even as background music? Keep up the good work - looking forward to week number two!
Dave Pasternak (WARW Washington D.C. listener)

LOVED the radio show. Great fun! Loved Steven's knowledge of rock history and, of course, his sense of humor.
Kathleen Houston

Well yeah, ok, finally, a show for us aging hipsters/former-critic-ettes who went through all of the necessary phases (hippie, first punk-go-round)... and.... prayed hard to the snarling mop-top god whose bangs cover his eyes and were rewarded with your radio show! Mega-points though for last night's inclusion of my longtime faves, THE CHESTERFIELD KINGS (they are, in my opinion, the undisputed kings of the genre's revivalists), PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS (first band I ever saw live in '66!) and of course, for letting listeners know that THE MUSIC MACHINE members always wore only one black glove! I eagerly await next week's show.
Best Regards, The Garage Goddess (Q104.3 New York listener)

Steven did a great job of balancing playing obscure artists with well-known artists, as well as adding his own personality to it all.
Arnie Pritchett, WNYU Radio, New York City (Host of Plastic Tales from the Marshmallow Dimention) (Q104.3 New York listener)

It is unbelievable to me that this stuff is getting the exposure it deserves.... Thanks again for the effort you are affording this. It's a story that needs to be told...you, kid, can rock and roll and you don't have to have a thousand synths and be a wacko (it helps) and you only need three chords (two in a pinch).
Mike Becchina

Best thing since WQIV in the 1970s and when Felix Hernandez started Rhythm Review on WBGO. Loved the story of Shel Talmy. Your music instincts are great!
Dave Cannon, Montclair, NJ (Q104.3 New York listener)

All I can say is this show blew me away!!! I want to see you try to top that next week.

I could hardly wait for ten o'clock to arrive Saturday night. I was poised to listen to Little Steven's Underground Garage on KLXS, 97.1. Having read about it in the L.A. Times, I knew it was going to be something reaaaallly good. Needless to say, Steven did not disappoint! Kudos and many bravos for an EXCELLENT show! Finally, some good music on the radio!!!! And the little skits between songs were quite funny! Man, keep up the good....no, EXCELLENT, work! Thank you for putting on a show I actually sat down and listened to, instead of being just background music.
Teesha (KLSX Los Angeles listener)

It was great! Nice to hear stuff you don't hear at all on the radio, so a real nice change. Little Steven was as cool as ever. I heard stuff from groups I didn't know, stuff from groups I did know but hadn't heard the song before, and I even learned some new things. Never knew that Jimmy Page wasn't the first to use a violin bow. So, I was educated. Today I'm a bit tired being I have to get up early on Mondays, but will continue to listen anyway. It was that good.
Sincerely, Cheri Dzubak (WMGK Philadelphia listener)

The 10pm - 12 show with Steve Van Zandt was amazing. It's nice to see that others have recognized that rock-n-roll has been hijacked by the monolithic corporations, and it's time to start taking it back. I'm 29 yrs. old, so I missed a lot. But no matter what a person's age, real music fans can appreciate something authentic. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Eric Nefferdorf - English Instructor / Delaware Technical & Community College, Newark, Delaware (WMGK Philadelphia listener)

I LOVE IT! PLEASE KEEP BROADCASTING IT! IT'S GREAT! THANK YOU!
Regards, John Frei (WARW Washington D.C. listener)

Whatever programming WARW 94.7 FM is rolling with right now (10:48 PM, Sunday April 7) KEEP IT UP!!! IT ROCKS!! Such an awesome change for a Sunday night!! I love it!!! I hope this ain't a "one night stand" special for tonight only!!!
Thank you, David E. Zelinski, King George, Va. (WARW Washington D.C. listener)

I just wanted to say "nice job" for picking up Underground Garage. It's really refreshing hearing all those narrow bandwidths and punch without crunch. Garage rock (nee "punk rock") is the Neanderthal Man of pop music. Thanks for helping the old boy get another squint at the limelight.
Larry V/Root Deco (WARW Washington D.C. listener)

Thanks for airing Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sunday night - it was great! I'll be tuning in every Sunday night to listen.
Thanks again! Andrew Ritwo (WARW Washington D.C. listener)

ohmygodithinkimgonnalosemymind!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF ROCK AND ROLL RADIO AND IT IS CALLED LITTLE STEVIE!!!

Wow. Little Steven's roots with 60's soul and rock are no surprise to anyone who's heard his solo records.... What I heard of tonight's premiere of Little Steven's Underground Garage was, in a way, the alter ego of Vin's Idiot's Delight show last night.... Little Steven just pulled out the stops and rocked the house for two hours. Great job by Little Steven, and also to Q104 for giving the show airspace. I've now got something to do on Sunday nights besides pine away for the old days.
Scott (from: Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight Digest) (Q104.3 New York listener)

.... This show is going to make Sunday night special once again!!
Doc Rich (from: Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight Digest)

Congratulations, Steven and allies, on a fantastic first show. Great to hear such raw and inventive sounds mostly from the time 'before the machines'. I taped Underground Garage and will be mailing copies to buddies in the UK, where, thank god, this stuff is still considered pure gold. Long may you reign.
Dave Candler, New York City (from: Little Steven Website Message Board) (Q104.3 New York listener)

I thought the radio show was great also. Best thing I've heard on the radio in years. I was also surprised that I knew most of the songs played.... Hopefully Little Steven's show will bring back more classic rock radio.
Karen Davies (from: Little Steven Website Message Board)

To my own amazement, I actually managed to drag myself out of bed at 4 am to catch some of the show on the internet - it was great! Now I can run off to work with a silly smile on my face.
Britt, Sweden (from: Little Steven Website Message Board)

A BIG, HUGE congrats to Steven, Hard Rock, Pepsi, Unilever, etc. ....The Gants and I listened on our PC's in different cities, via the Miami affiliate, WBGG, and were amazed! Can't say enough about the show and Steven, you got it, babe!!!
Beth Ellis, The Gants (from: Little Steven Website Message Board)

I heard the show on WBGG live and taped it. II thought the song selection was great. The celebrity spots were entertaining. Lil' Steven was right - where the hell else are you going to hear "You're Gonna Miss Me"? (it did show up at the beginning of 'High Fidelity' though, but this reached a lot of people at once, and the jug was explained) Can't wait to hear the next show.
Tom (The Creepy T's), Hollywood, Fla. (from: Little Steven Website Message Board)

Yeah! This is the kind of music my mother loved to listen to....the Kingsmen used to practice in a house next door to her when she was young...in Portland...it kind of grew on her after that. I have to get her back into it! So many bands were aired that I can really get into! It's fab! And, Stevie left us begging for more! The true mark of a "real" DJ!
Keep Rockin', Leisa, Portland, Oregon (from: Little Steven Website Message Board)

I was running through some of my mom's old, beaten up 7" singles the other day and playing them on the old beaten up record player we have. (lol.. it looks like one of the those fisher price toys.. all plastic). So surprize surprize, it was real cool to hear the "Knickerbockers" single "Lies"! There was a fantastic 4 or 5 song set including the 13 Floor Elevators that got me jumpin'! Wow! What a blast! Is it Sunday yet?
Raven, Vancouver, Canada (from: Little Steven Website Message Board)

Thank you, Steven. We have been listening to the new radio show on 97.1 in L.A. This is the best thing to be on "mainstream" radio in at least 25 years - if not more. Reminds us of the good ole FM days (and what we would play if we got to have our own show).... THANK YOU FOR ROCKING - FINALLY!
