	9:11pm patrick321: Hey efd and funkateers, in my enthusiasm I forgot to greet you all.
	9:11pm Uncle Michael: Anyone know where I might find a gently used 100' ethernet cable in a few weeks?
	9:12pm Ike: Meow!
	9:13pm efd: @UM hah!
	9:13pm Handy Haversack: Meeting ... drawing to a close ... we are on our way ...
	9:13pm efd: also not sure I could honestly say "gently" after all the coiling and uncoiling over the past year
	9:15pm Asheville Jon: Good evening everyone!
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: You're incapable of abuse, EFD.
	9:16pm P-90: Happy 101st birthday to Paul Stanley’s Dad
	9:16pm PigeonsAndRust: For a brief few seconds I thought this was going to be "Combination of the Two" by Big Brother and the Holding Company. Same beat for the intro
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: And we are here. efd! All the other letters! Rocking is clearly ongoing!
	9:19pm JBoogie: my boys! Runner and the Thermodynamics! Marc's new band, The Family Township, has a new record forthcoming. I just did the artwork... and the record is great. I loved Runner
	9:19pm Chop Scott: Studio E(FD) has sounded great throughout the challenges Evan!!
	9:19pm Listener Terry: Hey All, just want to thank EFD for playing The Reducers last week and telling us about the album being available on Bandcamp. I went on Friday and bought the album and another, "Live in Montville". I graduated from High School in the New London area in 1981 and used to see them at BaBa O'Riley's and other places around town. They even played our High School. They always sounded good and you can hear it in the 2 Live albums, recorded 25 years apart. Thanks again Evan, for bringing back some rock 'n roll joy from my youth!
	9:20pm efd: @JBoogie, thanks for the tip! Will definitely check out The Family Township!
	9:20pm efd: hey thanks Terry, glad you appreciated that!
	9:20pm Kat in Chicago: I say no to saying no to the radio!
	9:20pm R2: LOVE this song. Still prefer the album version, but it's great either way.
	9:20pm efd: And a very good evening to you all! Happy to have you here!
	9:20pm JBoogie: @efd township.bandcamp.com
	9:21pm Will the Sound Guy: Good evening EFD, and all the funkers
	9:21pm efd: @R2 it's the opposite for me!
	9:22pm Asheville Jon: Can't wait for the social media air horn!
	9:22pm mariano: Hey efd, Crew, folks!
	9:22pm JBoogie: I'm with efd... i like this version better. They hd a lot of material that never got released too... though I think some of it eventually did
	9:23pm JBoogie: no town does rock like Boston
	9:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: B Ö C !
	9:23pm JBoogie: this set
	9:24pm efd: I was SO psyched to hear Yo La Tengo do this during the requestathon this year!!
	9:24pm Julie M: I come for the music, I stay for the rock dots. Hi efd and all.
	9:25pm Robm: Hello fellow funksters
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: uh oh
	9:26pm Handy Haversack: This whole böc album is so great. Bagpipe Policy alert!
	9:27pm efd: Ken made me do it
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: This is all going straight to Bagpipe the dog's head. First Todd dedicates a song to him, now there's an entire policy! He's asking whether the board will have any openings soon.
	9:29pm mariano: Hey, Handy!
	9:29pm ultradamno: Hey, Handy. Hope you're feeling better.
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: !Mariano, mi amor! This Bénédictine's for you! Much better physically, ultradamno, thanks -- I can drink again! Just 24 hours of fever and eye pain: a small price to pay for a massive relaxation in trauma awareness.
	9:32pm Listener Terry: How do I get the icons for donating and Swag for Life?
	9:32pm brycepunk1: Evan, it's always a joy to catch the first hour of your show. Perfect conclusion to my days off. Thank you, sir. :)
	9:32pm Handy Haversack: Terry, they don't currently show up if you're commenting through the app. Gotta be signed in on a browser.
	9:33pm Listener Terry: Handy, I'm on my laptop right now.
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: Hrrrrm, then I guess you need to sign in with an account -- if the donations are connected to an account, it all shows up.
	9:35pm listener 126464: Freeform Tower
	9:35pm ultradamno: DID I MISS THE AIRHORN?! (a little premature? never mind)
	9:35pm Will the Sound Guy: Skelly shoutout to Scotty!!!
	9:36pm Listener Terry: I actually just registered right now, so maybe the system needs to catch up.
	9:36pm Julie M: Yeah, Terry, if you're signed in, your name should show up as orange and not gold in the comments pane, I think... (it's subtle)
	9:36pm Handy Haversack: Oh. There's a policy!
	9:37pm mariano: Bagpipe! Who's a good Bagpipe? WHO'S a good Bagpipe? You are! Yes you are!
	9:37pm ultradamno: Doc Wör Mirran have a bagpipe record docwoermirran.bandcamp.com...
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: That was great. We were on Kenmare driving back from Jersey City when that came on. It made sitting there go faster!
	9:41pm Scott Williams: Thank you Evan!
	9:47pm dano59: The only bagpipe music i like is Grier Coppins
	9:50pm Chop Scott: Huge Cheers Brother Scott!
	9:51pm McGroovey: Duck soup
	9:54pm Michael in Montclair: It's a Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock and Roll) is a pretty rocking bagpipe-driven tune.
	9:56pm HyperDose: Careful Evan, you're tempting me to favorite the show. I'll hit that clicky-star!
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: Wooooo congratulations!!!!
	10:01pm Handy Haversack: Yay, efd! Second shots FTW and the return to the Magic Factory! Hell yeah! It it nuts that DJs going back to the studio feels so personally freeing that I'm on the verge of tears here? Also, it sure will be good to hear Nate K!
	10:02pm Asheville Jon: Sweet, on all counts!
	10:02pm McGroovey: I kinda like the idea of learning to play the bagpipes, but there's commitment implied by the nature of the instrument. You can borrow a friend's banjo and mess with it to see if it's your thing, but if you borrow a friend's bagpipes, it's like making out with their wife (husband, girlfriend, etc): it's a full-contact thing.
	10:02pm Will the Sound Guy: rad!
	10:03pm bbxtina: If I had to chose a weird old culturally bizarre instrument, it would be an accordion
	10:03pm Handy Haversack: Starter pipes are priced to move, McGroovey. Once travel is a thing, I'll pick up a set for you in Edinburgh!
	10:04pm mace: yo yo yo, much appreciate the bandcamp links!
	10:04pm McGroovey: Starter pipes? That sounds like you'd need fire insurance
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: "You lied to me, Edward! There is a Swansea! And other places, too! You kept them from me!"
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening Funkateers ! ...Why ?! Because we like you... McGroovey : My friend Anton is the real deal w/ the Pipes if you're serious : www.facebook.com...
	10:09pm efd: @mace Glad to know you appreciate them!
	10:10pm Piper from Toronto: okay that last track was NOT the vaselines tho yeah?
	10:11pm mace: what's even better is that Kaputt's music was all "name your price" which is rad. Still paid, but it's nice to know that musicians sometimes just want to be heard. Like eBusking.
	10:13pm efd: @Piper can confirm it was not the Vaselines
	10:14pm Handy Haversack: Ha, we were just driving through Pine Bush, NY, where armedalite rifles is from! If only we'd known!
	10:14pm Piper from Toronto: @efd oh i KNOW but such vibes! like a COMFY BLANKET
	10:15pm On the Yazoo: Hey Y'all !!
	10:15pm Barbara in PA: @Handy, Pine Bush, the site of many UFO sightings!
	10:16pm efd: @Piper Swansea Sound is members of Heavenly and Pooh Sticks, so that is understandable
	10:17pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, Barbara, they did not advertise that on the signs!
	10:18pm Piper from Toronto: @efd oh dang thank you for giving me things to talk to my pooh sticks-loving manfriend about!!!!!!!!!!!! (truly)
	10:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: The future will herald the advent of bagpipe-playing robots. Possibly armies of them.
	10:19pm mace: Hey Yazoo
	10:20pm Handy Haversack: Seems honestly like one of the best possible outcomes at this point, Ken.
	10:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: My vaccine the previous Saturday was at the CVS in Goshen. I drove around Pine Bush & Florida afterwards since it was a nice day. Fields were dug up but no onions yet planted.
	10:24pm HyperDose: There it is!
	10:24pm Asheville Jon: Yes!!!
	10:24pm Asheville Jon: Now i can fall asleep happy
	10:24pm dave miss: Midnight at the oasis!
	10:24pm mace: MORE FOG HORNS
	10:24pm Handy Haversack: I have now social mediaed for the week! Thanks, efd!
	10:24pm mace: We have to warn all these sailors about the funky fog!!
	10:24pm dave miss: Can’t WAIT for their return
	10:25pm Mister Dobalina: Super big fan of the social media air horn...can't get enough!
	10:26pm Asheville Jon: Nonononono don't dial it back, make it BIGGER
	10:26pm Mister Dobalina: One more air horn.
	10:26pm Handy Haversack: No more social media: ONLY MOAR AIR HORN!!
	10:26pm HyperDose: @Asheville Jon Or fall asleep period!
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stereo effects on SocialMedia AirHorn...
	10:31pm antonio: Airhorn had me salivating for two free tickets to something somewhere
	10:31pm Lolo in Brooklyn: Every song is a good one, thank you EFD !!
	10:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Smithereen Wh♂︎ness !
	10:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Smithereens always plural. You never hear about a Smithereen by itself.
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: (Well, except for one comment above. Haha.)
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DennisDiken is un Smithereen.
	10:35pm Mister Dobalina: Gonna have to go ahead & clicky star this one.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...anyhow that was 'Smithereen' as adjective descriptor...
	10:36pm Handy Haversack: Right, like Yankee fan. Still, I think I met an Smithereen in a hotdog-restaurant parking lot.
	10:36pm dave miss: Sounds like Echo & bunnymen
	10:37pm On the Yazoo: Texting somebody??
	10:40pm Stevel: Here halfway in! I was working and listening to Suzy Hot Rod's Sunday set (which, I think, is a pretty good excuse, but still...)
	10:43pm Zabadak: Chris Murphy’s unmistakable voice!
	10:45pm Hoboken Jack: I believe I learned about Tuns on this show and I'm awful glad they're back!
	10:46pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Dave Miss, stevel, Jack!
	10:46pm dave miss: Lolo & I say hello Handy n K8
	10:48pm Hoboken Jack: Oh by the way, hello EFD, Scott, SteveL, Handy, HP Ken, McGroove, Mariano, 126464, southern hemisphere Scott67, all!
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: K8 says hi, Dave Miss! Bagpipe says hi, Jack.
	10:51pm Hoboken Jack: I like the Rum Bar label but they were overdoing it with Bandcamp messages recently and I considered unfollowing them! I'm tough like that.
	10:51pm Mister Dobalina: The fire team line up...
	10:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Cheers, Jack!
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Jack, I unfollowed them. And Mom+Pop is on the verge!
	10:52pm Joe B: greetings efd and everyone!
	10:53pm Mister Dobalina: Get Ken some cookies.
	10:56pm named & shamed: My gos, Evan! You don't half pad out your show with garbage lol
	10:57pm Stevel: Handy, Jack, Joe B., efd, Scott W., Good to see you all. The bass on the C Powers is rocking my basement desk.
	10:58pm dano59: Well, if something is blown to smithereens, what are the individual pieces called? (this is not keeping me up at night)
	10:58pm Glistener MW: Hmm — this question “which as experience do YOU prefer?” is one I’ve never had to ponder an answer for here on commercial-free radio.
	11:01pm mace: My bed time has arrived. I wish you all a good night, and dreams of fog horns that just won't quit.
	11:02pm Joe B: damn, missed powerlines! definitely one of my favorites circa 2003-2004! cathal couglan was the first thing I heard once I drove into reception range
	11:05pm bo: this one is hot
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: Night, mace! Hey, Joe B!
	11:06pm named & shamed: ill have what your smokin Bo
	11:08pm Hoboken Jack: "Physical, physical, I wanna get physical...."
	11:11pm dave miss: Joey B!
	11:16pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Joe!!
	11:20pm Hoboken Jack: Bagpipe, who's a good dog? Who's a good dog? You are!!!
	11:21pm pgalub: Sit Jack, sit!
	11:22pm Hoboken Jack: [whimpering in corner] hey Pete!
	11:24pm HyperDose: First heard Ladytron in the movie Smiley face. VERY cool sound.
	11:24pm DouglasInDallas: Earlier arrival, later commenter. Loving the set @EFD especially that kaput jam. Hey FMU fam!
	11:26pm efd: happy to see you, Douglas!
	11:27pm Glistener MW: !!! new UV-TV?! Amazing!
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: Yo, DID!
	11:30pm Joe B: agree MW! great tune
	11:31pm Joe B: on the verses, I thought this Andrea Gillis was going to be a Hoodoo Gurus cover
	11:31pm Hoboken Jack: "Leave the Light On" has a bit of the Hoodoos' "I Want You Back" in the verses.
	11:31pm Handy Haversack: Yah, this show is doing a lot for the (possibly last?) upcoming Bandcamp Friday.
	11:31pm Hoboken Jack: Jinx, Joe!
	11:31pm efd: @Joe and @Jack, yes! When I first listened it reminded me of this Housemartins song, but this time around I picked up the Gurus as well.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Housemartins yes. Been a minute.
	11:32pm Glistener MW: I was feeling the Housemartins vibe as well! Loved it
	11:33pm Andres: !!! :) !!!
	11:34pm Glistener MW: And thanks for the Housemartins-proper too!
	11:34pm housemartins_fan: that guy's voice. so smooth
	11:35pm housemartins_fan: now I have to hear the song Build
	11:35pm Handy Haversack: And at first I thought Andrea Gillis was Worriers! I've been efded!
	11:36pm Joe B: wow great cover!
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also real good w/ The Hoodoos ...plural...
	11:36pm Glistener MW: ! This may be the only New Pornographers studio-cover I’ve ever heard
	11:36pm Hoboken Jack: My college roommate and I loved/cracked up at the falsetto on "World's... on... FIRE!!"
	11:37pm Glistener MW: This is excellent
	11:37pm efd: this is such a great version, I love it so much
	11:37pm On the Yazoo: Yep !!
	11:38pm Joe B: re new pornos - andrew bird covered "the fake headlines"
	11:38pm Glistener MW: Plus, the name “Worriers” fits my general daily life-outlook so well. Too well, even.
	11:39pm Glistener MW: Thanks, Joe! — will look that one up
	11:39pm Joe B: i think I will just play this show archive from noon-3 on monday!
	11:39pm efd: lol Joe!
	11:41pm drowsy: This show has been so good.
	11:41pm bo orioles: we beat the yankees tonight, evan!
	11:42pm Handy Haversack: Well, tonight, bo. Man, I hate this extra-innings rule. efd, no Twitter mentions without AIR HORN!
	11:43pm ultradamno: Escaped...certain fate
	11:44pm Joe B: the extra inning rule is a disgrace
	11:44pm bo: yeah but winning w like just 4 hits is somehow a real win
	11:46pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, they all count, bo. But word, Joe. It's just not right. Can MLB jump a shark it already paid to have killed?
	11:46pm devlawn: thanks for playing TUNS, gotta check that album out.
	11:47pm bo: i don't like the extra innings rule either, but given that it's here it's interesting how it makes things like advancing the runner and OF assists much more important... almost like sudden death in futbol...
	11:47pm devlawn: I'd pay to see TUNS at monty hall.
	11:48pm Kpx: Here i b, just y i m, i don't know? I don't even have the radio on! Yet here i m. I a reckon i just felt the need 2☑️in. Hey peeps
	11:48pm Joe B: teams have won with zero hits (see Hawkins, Andy)
	11:48pm bo: anyway, incredible show tonight!!!
	11:48pm Joe B: it's actually nothing like sudden death in pro football. it's morel ike college overtime, where they start on the 25 yard line
	11:50pm Joe B: i'd pay to see anyone at monty hall these days!
	11:53pm bo: yeah sorry I guess I meant euro soccer with like the 1:1 thing
	11:53pm Somm Ben: Whoa, is this silence mill new? Never heard of this.
	11:54pm efd: @Somm Ben, yep, new
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PolyStyrene X JohnLydon. (I like it.)
	11:54pm Handy Haversack: Because of some mishearings, we're now debating which is the better band name: Silence Mill or Siren Smell. Either way, great, great show tonight, efd The siren smell our ear noses always yearn for! Thanks so much. And thanks, Skeleton Scott! Be well, Funkateers! Man, that Silence Mill was great.
	11:55pm Joe B: thanks efd and scott! great show!
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever efd !
	11:57pm Somm Ben: Thanks EFD & all.

	12:00am HyperDose: Thanks Evan & Scott. Nighty nighty everyone!
	12:00am Handy Haversack: Have a good break, efd!

	9:06pm PigeonsAndRust: Looking up from these old flyback transformer data sheets to say "Hi EFD and all!"
	9:08pm patrick321: This stereolab wow, such a favorite. Have not heard in years!
	9:11pm patrick321: Hey efd and funkateers, in my enthusiasm I forgot to greet you all.
	9:11pm Uncle Michael: Anyone know where I might find a gently used 100' ethernet cable in a few weeks?
	9:12pm Ike: Meow!
	9:13pm efd: @UM hah!
	9:13pm Handy Haversack: Meeting ... drawing to a close ... we are on our way ...
	9:13pm efd: also not sure I could honestly say "gently" after all the coiling and uncoiling over the past year
	9:15pm Asheville Jon: Good evening everyone!
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: You're incapable of abuse, EFD.
	9:16pm P-90: Happy 101st birthday to Paul Stanley’s Dad
	9:16pm PigeonsAndRust: For a brief few seconds I thought this was going to be "Combination of the Two" by Big Brother and the Holding Company. Same beat for the intro
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: And we are here. efd! All the other letters! Rocking is clearly ongoing!
	9:19pm JBoogie: my boys! Runner and the Thermodynamics! Marc's new band, The Family Township, has a new record forthcoming. I just did the artwork... and the record is great. I loved Runner
	9:19pm Chop Scott: Studio E(FD) has sounded great throughout the challenges Evan!!
	9:19pm Listener Terry: Hey All, just want to thank EFD for playing The Reducers last week and telling us about the album being available on Bandcamp. I went on Friday and bought the album and another, "Live in Montville". I graduated from High School in the New London area in 1981 and used to see them at BaBa O'Riley's and other places around town. They even played our High School. They always sounded good and you can hear it in the 2 Live albums, recorded 25 years apart. Thanks again Evan, for bringing back some rock 'n roll joy from my youth!
	9:20pm efd: @JBoogie, thanks for the tip! Will definitely check out The Family Township!
	9:20pm efd: hey thanks Terry, glad you appreciated that!
	9:20pm Kat in Chicago: I say no to saying no to the radio!
	9:20pm R2: LOVE this song. Still prefer the album version, but it's great either way.
	9:20pm efd: And a very good evening to you all! Happy to have you here!
	9:20pm JBoogie: @efd township.bandcamp.com
	9:21pm Will the Sound Guy: Good evening EFD, and all the funkers
	9:21pm efd: @R2 it's the opposite for me!
	9:22pm Asheville Jon: Can't wait for the social media air horn!
	9:22pm mariano: Hey efd, Crew, folks!
	9:22pm JBoogie: I'm with efd... i like this version better. They hd a lot of material that never got released too... though I think some of it eventually did
	9:23pm JBoogie: no town does rock like Boston
	9:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: B Ö C !
	9:23pm JBoogie: this set
	9:24pm efd: I was SO psyched to hear Yo La Tengo do this during the requestathon this year!!
	9:24pm Julie M: I come for the music, I stay for the rock dots. Hi efd and all.
	9:25pm Robm: Hello fellow funksters
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: uh oh
	9:26pm Handy Haversack: This whole böc album is so great. Bagpipe Policy alert!
	9:27pm efd: Ken made me do it
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: This is all going straight to Bagpipe the dog's head. First Todd dedicates a song to him, now there's an entire policy! He's asking whether the board will have any openings soon.
	9:29pm mariano: Hey, Handy!
	9:29pm ultradamno: Hey, Handy. Hope you're feeling better.
	9:31pm Handy Haversack: !Mariano, mi amor! This Bénédictine's for you! Much better physically, ultradamno, thanks -- I can drink again! Just 24 hours of fever and eye pain: a small price to pay for a massive relaxation in trauma awareness.
	9:32pm Listener Terry: How do I get the icons for donating and Swag for Life?
	9:32pm brycepunk1: Evan, it's always a joy to catch the first hour of your show. Perfect conclusion to my days off. Thank you, sir. :)
	9:32pm Handy Haversack: Terry, they don't currently show up if you're commenting through the app. Gotta be signed in on a browser.
	9:33pm Listener Terry: Handy, I'm on my laptop right now.
	9:34pm Handy Haversack: Hrrrrm, then I guess you need to sign in with an account -- if the donations are connected to an account, it all shows up.
	9:35pm listener 126464: Freeform Tower
	9:35pm ultradamno: DID I MISS THE AIRHORN?! (a little premature? never mind)
	9:35pm Will the Sound Guy: Skelly shoutout to Scotty!!!
	9:36pm Listener Terry: I actually just registered right now, so maybe the system needs to catch up.
	9:36pm Julie M: Yeah, Terry, if you're signed in, your name should show up as orange and not gold in the comments pane, I think... (it's subtle)
	9:36pm Handy Haversack: Oh. There's a policy!
	9:37pm mariano: Bagpipe! Who's a good Bagpipe? WHO'S a good Bagpipe? You are! Yes you are!
	9:37pm ultradamno: Doc Wör Mirran have a bagpipe record docwoermirran.bandcamp.com...
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: That was great. We were on Kenmare driving back from Jersey City when that came on. It made sitting there go faster!
	9:41pm Scott Williams: Thank you Evan!
	9:47pm dano59: The only bagpipe music i like is Grier Coppins
	9:50pm Chop Scott: Huge Cheers Brother Scott!
	9:51pm McGroovey: Duck soup
	9:54pm Michael in Montclair: It's a Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock and Roll) is a pretty rocking bagpipe-driven tune.
	9:56pm HyperDose: Careful Evan, you're tempting me to favorite the show. I'll hit that clicky-star!
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: Wooooo congratulations!!!!
	10:01pm Handy Haversack: Yay, efd! Second shots FTW and the return to the Magic Factory! Hell yeah! It it nuts that DJs going back to the studio feels so personally freeing that I'm on the verge of tears here? Also, it sure will be good to hear Nate K!
	10:02pm Asheville Jon: Sweet, on all counts!
	10:02pm McGroovey: I kinda like the idea of learning to play the bagpipes, but there's commitment implied by the nature of the instrument. You can borrow a friend's banjo and mess with it to see if it's your thing, but if you borrow a friend's bagpipes, it's like making out with their wife (husband, girlfriend, etc): it's a full-contact thing.
	10:02pm Will the Sound Guy: rad!
	10:03pm bbxtina: If I had to chose a weird old culturally bizarre instrument, it would be an accordion
	10:03pm Handy Haversack: Starter pipes are priced to move, McGroovey. Once travel is a thing, I'll pick up a set for you in Edinburgh!
	10:04pm mace: yo yo yo, much appreciate the bandcamp links!
	10:04pm McGroovey: Starter pipes? That sounds like you'd need fire insurance
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: "You lied to me, Edward! There is a Swansea! And other places, too! You kept them from me!"
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening Funkateers ! ...Why ?! Because we like you... McGroovey : My friend Anton is the real deal w/ the Pipes if you're serious : www.facebook.com...
	10:09pm efd: @mace Glad to know you appreciate them!
	10:10pm Piper from Toronto: okay that last track was NOT the vaselines tho yeah?
	10:11pm mace: what's even better is that Kaputt's music was all "name your price" which is rad. Still paid, but it's nice to know that musicians sometimes just want to be heard. Like eBusking.
	10:13pm efd: @Piper can confirm it was not the Vaselines
	10:14pm Handy Haversack: Ha, we were just driving through Pine Bush, NY, where armedalite rifles is from! If only we'd known!
	10:14pm Piper from Toronto: @efd oh i KNOW but such vibes! like a COMFY BLANKET
	10:15pm On the Yazoo: Hey Y'all !!
	10:15pm Barbara in PA: @Handy, Pine Bush, the site of many UFO sightings!
	10:16pm efd: @Piper Swansea Sound is members of Heavenly and Pooh Sticks, so that is understandable
	10:17pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, Barbara, they did not advertise that on the signs!
	10:18pm Piper from Toronto: @efd oh dang thank you for giving me things to talk to my pooh sticks-loving manfriend about!!!!!!!!!!!! (truly)
	10:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: The future will herald the advent of bagpipe-playing robots. Possibly armies of them.
	10:19pm mace: Hey Yazoo
	10:20pm Handy Haversack: Seems honestly like one of the best possible outcomes at this point, Ken.
	10:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: My vaccine the previous Saturday was at the CVS in Goshen. I drove around Pine Bush & Florida afterwards since it was a nice day. Fields were dug up but no onions yet planted.
	10:24pm HyperDose: There it is!
	10:24pm Asheville Jon: Yes!!!
	10:24pm Asheville Jon: Now i can fall asleep happy
	10:24pm dave miss: Midnight at the oasis!
	10:24pm mace: MORE FOG HORNS
	10:24pm Handy Haversack: I have now social mediaed for the week! Thanks, efd!
	10:24pm mace: We have to warn all these sailors about the funky fog!!
	10:24pm dave miss: Can’t WAIT for their return
	10:25pm Mister Dobalina: Super big fan of the social media air horn...can't get enough!
	10:26pm Asheville Jon: Nonononono don't dial it back, make it BIGGER
	10:26pm Mister Dobalina: One more air horn.
	10:26pm Handy Haversack: No more social media: ONLY MOAR AIR HORN!!
	10:26pm HyperDose: @Asheville Jon Or fall asleep period!
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stereo effects on SocialMedia AirHorn...
	10:31pm antonio: Airhorn had me salivating for two free tickets to something somewhere
	10:31pm Lolo in Brooklyn: Every song is a good one, thank you EFD !!
	10:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Smithereen Wh♂︎ness !
	10:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Smithereens always plural. You never hear about a Smithereen by itself.
	10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: (Well, except for one comment above. Haha.)
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DennisDiken is un Smithereen.
	10:35pm Mister Dobalina: Gonna have to go ahead & clicky star this one.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...anyhow that was 'Smithereen' as adjective descriptor...
	10:36pm Handy Haversack: Right, like Yankee fan. Still, I think I met an Smithereen in a hotdog-restaurant parking lot.
	10:36pm dave miss: Sounds like Echo & bunnymen
	10:37pm On the Yazoo: Texting somebody??
	10:40pm Stevel: Here halfway in! I was working and listening to Suzy Hot Rod's Sunday set (which, I think, is a pretty good excuse, but still...)
	10:43pm Zabadak: Chris Murphy’s unmistakable voice!
	10:45pm Hoboken Jack: I believe I learned about Tuns on this show and I'm awful glad they're back!
	10:46pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Dave Miss, stevel, Jack!
	10:46pm dave miss: Lolo & I say hello Handy n K8
	10:48pm Hoboken Jack: Oh by the way, hello EFD, Scott, SteveL, Handy, HP Ken, McGroove, Mariano, 126464, southern hemisphere Scott67, all!
	10:49pm Handy Haversack: K8 says hi, Dave Miss! Bagpipe says hi, Jack.
	10:51pm Hoboken Jack: I like the Rum Bar label but they were overdoing it with Bandcamp messages recently and I considered unfollowing them! I'm tough like that.
	10:51pm Mister Dobalina: The fire team line up...
	10:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Cheers, Jack!
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: Jack, I unfollowed them. And Mom+Pop is on the verge!
	10:52pm Joe B: greetings efd and everyone!
	10:53pm Mister Dobalina: Get Ken some cookies.
	10:56pm named & shamed: My gos, Evan! You don't half pad out your show with garbage lol
	10:57pm Stevel: Handy, Jack, Joe B., efd, Scott W., Good to see you all. The bass on the C Powers is rocking my basement desk.
	10:58pm dano59: Well, if something is blown to smithereens, what are the individual pieces called? (this is not keeping me up at night)
	10:58pm Glistener MW: Hmm — this question “which as experience do YOU prefer?” is one I’ve never had to ponder an answer for here on commercial-free radio.
	11:01pm mace: My bed time has arrived. I wish you all a good night, and dreams of fog horns that just won't quit.
	11:02pm Joe B: damn, missed powerlines! definitely one of my favorites circa 2003-2004! cathal couglan was the first thing I heard once I drove into reception range
	11:05pm bo: this one is hot
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: Night, mace! Hey, Joe B!
	11:06pm named & shamed: ill have what your smokin Bo
	11:08pm Hoboken Jack: "Physical, physical, I wanna get physical...."
	11:11pm dave miss: Joey B!
	11:16pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Joe!!
	11:20pm Hoboken Jack: Bagpipe, who's a good dog? Who's a good dog? You are!!!
	11:21pm pgalub: Sit Jack, sit!
	11:22pm Hoboken Jack: [whimpering in corner] hey Pete!
	11:24pm HyperDose: First heard Ladytron in the movie Smiley face. VERY cool sound.
	11:24pm DouglasInDallas: Earlier arrival, later commenter. Loving the set @EFD especially that kaput jam. Hey FMU fam!
	11:26pm efd: happy to see you, Douglas!
	11:27pm Glistener MW: !!! new UV-TV?! Amazing!
	11:29pm Handy Haversack: Yo, DID!
	11:30pm Joe B: agree MW! great tune
	11:31pm Joe B: on the verses, I thought this Andrea Gillis was going to be a Hoodoo Gurus cover
	11:31pm Hoboken Jack: "Leave the Light On" has a bit of the Hoodoos' "I Want You Back" in the verses.
	11:31pm Handy Haversack: Yah, this show is doing a lot for the (possibly last?) upcoming Bandcamp Friday.
	11:31pm Hoboken Jack: Jinx, Joe!
	11:31pm efd: @Joe and @Jack, yes! When I first listened it reminded me of this Housemartins song, but this time around I picked up the Gurus as well.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Housemartins yes. Been a minute.
	11:32pm Glistener MW: I was feeling the Housemartins vibe as well! Loved it
	11:33pm Andres: !!! :) !!!
	11:34pm Glistener MW: And thanks for the Housemartins-proper too!
	11:34pm housemartins_fan: that guy's voice. so smooth
	11:35pm housemartins_fan: now I have to hear the song Build
	11:35pm Handy Haversack: And at first I thought Andrea Gillis was Worriers! I've been efded!
	11:36pm Joe B: wow great cover!
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also real good w/ The Hoodoos ...plural...
	11:36pm Glistener MW: ! This may be the only New Pornographers studio-cover I’ve ever heard
	11:36pm Hoboken Jack: My college roommate and I loved/cracked up at the falsetto on "World's... on... FIRE!!"
	11:37pm Glistener MW: This is excellent
	11:37pm efd: this is such a great version, I love it so much
	11:37pm On the Yazoo: Yep !!
	11:38pm Joe B: re new pornos - andrew bird covered "the fake headlines"
	11:38pm Glistener MW: Plus, the name “Worriers” fits my general daily life-outlook so well. Too well, even.
	11:39pm Glistener MW: Thanks, Joe! — will look that one up
	11:39pm Joe B: i think I will just play this show archive from noon-3 on monday!
	11:39pm efd: lol Joe!
	11:41pm drowsy: This show has been so good.
	11:41pm bo orioles: we beat the yankees tonight, evan!
	11:42pm Handy Haversack: Well, tonight, bo. Man, I hate this extra-innings rule. efd, no Twitter mentions without AIR HORN!
	11:43pm ultradamno: Escaped...certain fate
	11:44pm Joe B: the extra inning rule is a disgrace
	11:44pm bo: yeah but winning w like just 4 hits is somehow a real win
	11:46pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, they all count, bo. But word, Joe. It's just not right. Can MLB jump a shark it already paid to have killed?
	11:46pm devlawn: thanks for playing TUNS, gotta check that album out.
	11:47pm bo: i don't like the extra innings rule either, but given that it's here it's interesting how it makes things like advancing the runner and OF assists much more important... almost like sudden death in futbol...
	11:47pm devlawn: I'd pay to see TUNS at monty hall.
	11:48pm Kpx: Here i b, just y i m, i don't know? I don't even have the radio on! Yet here i m. I a reckon i just felt the need 2☑️in. Hey peeps
	11:48pm Joe B: teams have won with zero hits (see Hawkins, Andy)
	11:48pm bo: anyway, incredible show tonight!!!
	11:48pm Joe B: it's actually nothing like sudden death in pro football. it's morel ike college overtime, where they start on the 25 yard line
	11:50pm Joe B: i'd pay to see anyone at monty hall these days!
	11:53pm bo: yeah sorry I guess I meant euro soccer with like the 1:1 thing
	11:53pm Somm Ben: Whoa, is this silence mill new? Never heard of this.
	11:54pm efd: @Somm Ben, yep, new
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PolyStyrene X JohnLydon. (I like it.)
	11:54pm Handy Haversack: Because of some mishearings, we're now debating which is the better band name: Silence Mill or Siren Smell. Either way, great, great show tonight, efd The siren smell our ear noses always yearn for! Thanks so much. And thanks, Skeleton Scott! Be well, Funkateers! Man, that Silence Mill was great.
	11:55pm Joe B: thanks efd and scott! great show!
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever efd !
	11:57pm Somm Ben: Thanks EFD & all.

	12:00am Kpx: Even though I came in late and don't know what's doin, I'm a gunna say ditto efd, and good night everyone.
	12:00am HyperDose: Thanks Evan & Scott. Nighty nighty everyone!
	12:00am Handy Haversack: Have a good break, efd!
