	♥ 12:22pm WaffleMix: Hey EFD, thanks for this
	12:22pm skyline chili formally kpx: That's right, blame it on Dr ken Freeman Stein. Maybe that's one reason why jonesy is always saying keep your face on the ground and keep crawling away from Dr Ken Freeman Stein

	♥ 12:24pm Patrick S.: Man, I listened to the hell outta afoot.

	12:27pm Kat in Chicago: Totally singing along today
	♥ 12:27pm HyperDose: The first R.E.M. song I ever heard, and still my favorite to this day. What a fun rhythm!
	12:27pm egould310: Thanks for putting this together, efd. This is really lifting my spirits. It’s a good Wednesday.
	♥ 12:28pm tim from washington: Did Mitch Easter get any sleep in the 80s?
	12:28pm Carl G in NYC: Reading Miles Copland's bio and when talking about IRS records and REM he then dissed both Mitch Easter and The DB's I guess if they both sold more records he would have said something nice!
	♥ 12:28pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: LOVE ME the Eponymous EP.
	♥ 12:28pm Handy Haversack: Calling me in transit! efd! All the other letters! Sorry I'm late.
	12:29pm Joe B: hey efd!
	♥ 12:29pm medson: Hey Evan and everyone. Was this version a hib tone 45 release originally?
	12:29pm bobobobob Plasticland: any body out there that knew the band YiPES! a guy i knew up in Milwaukee bass player Mike Hoffman died 2 days ago 😟
	♥ 12:29pm HyperDose: @Threemoons I had the comp growing up, so always thought of it as an actual album. So. damn. good.
	♥ 12:29pm karlward: Love the Joy Division sound of this song.
	♥ 12:30pm Ken in Fort Worth: I had never heard Let's Active on the radio. You made my morning. Loving the Mitch Easter stuff.
	12:30pm Tammy E.: Mitch was not in the band Little Diesel .
	♥ 12:30pm karlward: Apparently Joy Division is all I talk about these days.
	♥ 12:30pm karlward: These Day-ays
	♥ 12:31pm Ken in Fort Worth: I saw them in Wilmington back in the day. I think it was Wilmington. It's been a while.
	♥ 12:31pm Will the Sound Guy: Good afternoon efd and all!
	♥ 12:31pm slocker: Mitch has the best accent
	♥ 12:32pm efd: @Tammy E. I thought he played with them at the tail end of their existence. He's credited on three tracks on the Little Diesel compilation release.
	12:35pm Tammy E.: Right, he played on some songs, but has never been an official member.
	12:35pm Tammy E.: Great show, btw! ❤️❤️❤️
	♥ 12:36pm efd: @Tammy E Thank you! Hope to have the chance to say hello next week!
	12:36pm Joe B: yes he was an official member when they were briefly billed as The Little Diesel Big Band
	12:41pm Right on cue: @Ken in FW, Blue Line by Let's Active got a lot of airplay on the Baltimore-DC area "college" stations
	12:41pm bobobob: Magnapop
	♥ 12:41pm tim from washington: Who is the female vocalist? She sounds like Debbie Harry.
	12:42pm Right on cue: And Every Word Means No. I played the album to death. Great band
	♥ 12:42pm Brian C.: Room with a view, this sounds different than the version on my old EP
	♥ 12:43pm Hoboken Pete: I hum this song all the time and I completely forgot it was Let's Active...
	♥ 12:43pm HyperDose: Faye Hunter the bass player, possibly? Passed away in 2013. Very sad
	12:43pm Joe B: @right on cue - same in NJ. Let's Active was all over college radio in NJ - WPRB, WRSU, WTSR ...
	♥ 12:43pm efd: @tim from washington That is the late and very much missed Faye Hunter.
	♥ 12:44pm James in ATL: Someone said there is a recent documentary about the 80s Chapel Hill music scene. Anyone know the name?
	♥ 12:45pm medson: I remember fans of REM in the early days being very protective of the band. Almost quizzing others on the music before accepting new people as fans.
	♥ 12:45pm tim from washington: Thanks, efd!
	♥ 12:46pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhh, I love it all! But I really love this! Two-headed cow!
	♥ 12:46pm Handy Haversack: (Gotta make lunch ...)
	12:47pm Joe B: @medson - yes, I remember also. having failed said quiz, i was turned off to REM for a short while!
	12:47pm Right on cue: Did not know about Faye Hunter. So sorry to learn. Rest in peace.
	♥ 12:47pm Alvy Singer: Pilgrimage is Southern Gothic at its finest.
	♥ 12:47pm efd: THis song "Pilgrimage" is mentioned in passing in the next intrerview segment
	12:48pm Joe B: pivotal song from those sessions
	12:50pm Joe B: Stephen Hague
	♥ 12:52pm efd: yeah, Mitch is too polite to mention him by name!
	12:53pm Joe Mulligan: What a crackup IRS was not so impressed by “Pilgrimage”. I’m not the biggest REM fan but how can you deny that song!!
	12:53pm Joe B: and even after that they wanted Elliot Mazer to do the second album
	♥ 12:53pm joe mulligan: crazy
	♥ 12:56pm cuspidor: Sara Romweber died young, too.
	12:56pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, Let’s Active had the best hair back in the day, all three of ‘em.
	♥ 12:57pm pgalub: Big Plans is such a great album!
	12:58pm Joe B: @kat - true!
	12:59pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh, “Fell” is such a dreamy song
	♥ 1:02pm Hoboken Jack: I think Mitch Easter is the first producer I ever knew about. Flash forward to 5 years ago, I'm back in my apartment for the first time in 3.5 months. Friends had removed my clutter so i could maneuver around in a wheelchair, and it was unnerving. But as I wheeled down the hall to my bedroom, I saw on the windowsill my copy of Easter's Dynamico CD. "I'm home," I realized.
	♥ 1:03pm tim from washington: That's so funny to me that early REM fans were snobs. Weren't they pretty accessible (ie not super obscure and easy to find their records) from the get go?
	1:05pm Joe Mulligan: I love hearing the personal truth rather than corporate revisionist history
	♥ 1:07pm efd: Folks, I'd like to remind you that this is the last week of WFMU's HELLRAISER fundraiser! I'm lagging behind the station overall and would really appreciate some support during this show! If you pledge $50 you can get one of our new t-shirts! The best way to help the station is with a monthly pledge of $10 or more, and if you do that you'll get a THIRD t-shirt and even more swag! Please make a pledge now if you're able and show your appreciation for programs like this: pledge.wfmu.org... Thank you to everyone who's already pledged!
	1:08pm Joe Mulligan: If REM didn’t stick to their indie hearts and allowed themselves to become Sammy hagarish the face of American indie may have never been the same
	♥ 1:09pm efd: Not gonna lie, I really want to hear Sammy Hagar sing these songs now.
	♥ 1:11pm tim from washington: This sound would have definitely improved 3 Lock Box.
	1:11pm sphere: Just wanted to say that Every Dog Has His Day is totally one of the 80s albums I pull out almost every couple of weeks. Love it!
	♥ 1:12pm Hoboken Pete: This is sounding like an up tempo Robyn Hitchcock tune
	♥ 1:12pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm from the Winston Salem NC area .Very proud of Mitch and let's Active
	♥ 1:12pm ChrisB.: John Leckie produced an album by New Jersey band The Proof, released on Nemperor Records.
	♥ 1:12pm Ken in Fort Worth: On a tangent, are you going to play any Fetchin Bones?
	1:12pm Joe Mulligan: Hoboken Pete yes!!
	♥ 1:13pm efd: @Hoboken Jack I love that story. Dynamico is such a great and, it seems, largely overlooked album.
	1:14pm sphere: YES
	♥ 1:14pm Zinn The Mood: When this record came out I was mainly hard rock and metal fan, beginning to have grave reservations about the latter. I remember British metal magazine Kerrang had a picture of Robert Plant on the cover with a quote about the current metal scene, “I’d rather mow Mitch Easter’s lawn!”
	♥ 1:14pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So weird about the early snobbery. I just remember hearing "Radio Free Europe" on college radio and it just knocked me out. When the show announcement came out, I could hardly believe it. Most of my friends didn't care because, hey it wasn't Pink Floyd or <insert class rock band here>.
	♥ 1:14pm efd: @Ken in Fort Worth they are on the long list of bands I couldn't fit in, I'm afraid.
	♥ 1:15pm efd: had to make a lot of hard choices over the last few days
	1:16pm PJ: I can see how Leckie’s ideas about how Let’s Active should sound were a shock to the band. The sound is a far cry from the Dukes of Stratosphere and heavy into American AOR of the ‘80s.
	♥ 1:16pm ChrisB.: Is there a "select all" option for favoriting songs?
	♥ 1:17pm tim from washington: I'd compare the sound of Every Dog to X's Aint Love Grand. There's really good songs under the bombastic production.
	♥ 1:18pm efd: "the ageism is sort of gone as long as you're not actually dead" is such a great line
	♥ 1:19pm efd: note that when Mitch says "last Friday" that was actually a couple of Fridays ago
	1:19pm Kat in Chicago: He still sounds like he’s 25 though!
	♥ 1:20pm Ken in Fort Worth: Understood. Thanks! As stated, they were only tangentially related.
	♥ 1:21pm efd: For anyone interested in the Let's Active 40th Anniversary show in Winston-Salem next week: www.etix.com...
	♥ 1:21pm B R M: So good, @efd... loving it!
	♥ 1:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pledge for funk-powered air horns!
	♥ 1:23pm efd: pledge meter still stuck at 64% I see
	♥ 1:31pm prof.fuzz: Great interview!
	1:31pm Too Obtuse: Interview over --- get to pledging!!!
	1:31pm Joe Mulligan: What a great interview, thanks EFD!!
	♥ 1:31pm tim from washington: Great interview, efd!
	♥ 1:31pm radioronan: When Too Bad was playing, all I could hear was Game Theory..great interview..
	♥ 1:32pm Handy Haversack: The spirit of the AIR HORN compels you: PLEDGE! (If you can.)
	1:33pm Bianconeri: The gap between Dynamico and now slowly approaching the gap between Big Plans and Dynamico...
	♥ 1:36pm Mike Sin: Great job, EvanFunk! To say that Mitch Easter is a down-to-earth dude would be an understatement. He comes across with a lot of self-awareness unclouded by ego. Really interesting interview.
	♥ 1:39pm B R M: 👏
	1:40pm JetLee: Great interview and show! I was fortunate enough to see Let's Active open for Echo and the Bunnymen when Sara was in the band, and finally met Mitch when he was touring dynamico. Great guy! It really comes across in the interview.
	♥ 1:41pm Rick from SC: Great show. I was lucky to see Let's Active many times in the early 80's in Atlanta and Athens.
	1:41pm Kat in Chicago: Not really practical at the moment for me to make the trip, but I’d love to be at that Winston-Salem show.
	1:43pm Bianconeri: Too young to have caught Let's Active live, so it was a dream come true to open for a Dynamico-era show and actually see him at work in person. He was even better live than I expected -- I guess I'd thought of him so much as a "studio guy"
	♥ 1:45pm efd: @Bianconeri That's awesome!
	♥ 1:45pm Mike From Brooklyn: I wish I could make it to Winston Salem for that 40th Anniversary
	♥ 1:46pm B R M: The song after which my R.E.M. covers project was named! 🥰
	♥ 1:47pm Handy Haversack: Was already thinking of you, B R M!
	1:47pm pp: didn't realize Don Dixon had that strong a singing voice
	♥ 1:48pm B R M: Ears that are still Children of today on parade Yellow like a geisha gown Denying all the way....
	♥ 1:48pm B R M: Aw, thanks @Handy ... this was a dream show.
	1:48pm phat in Lincoln: So great. I missed the interview, though! Thank heavens for archives.
	♥ 1:48pm efd: @pp Don Dixon has a number of solo albums that are great! Well worth looking up.
	♥ 1:49pm Mike From Brooklyn: The Feelies did an great cover of Shaking Through when I saw them a couple of years ago.
	1:49pm Aaron: Listening while working down here in Richmond VA and totally digging today's show!
	♥ 1:49pm efd: oho, the pledge needle is up to 67% Thank you!
	♥ 1:50pm pgalub: Great show efd! Will have to check the rest out on the archives. I am extremely fortunate to have worked with Mitch in the last few years. Definitely a highlight of my musical life- being at Fidelitoriun and playing solos through a Sovtek pedal with him only a few feet away offering enthusiasm and encouragement. Thanks again!
	♥ 1:51pm Woo: jangle
	1:51pm egould310: Who doesn’t like jangle?
	1:52pm TerryBKeyport: Terrific interview, delightful remarks in the final half hour, and super selections, EFD!
	♥ 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Like Klaus Kinski, I love ze jangle.
	♥ 1:53pm B R M: Reminds me, I have to listen to my copy of Don Dixon's Most of the Girls Like to Dance But Only Some of the Boys Like To... so great
	1:53pm Kaper79: Murmur on my walkman till it degraded ! Murmur is what Michael Stipe did to the lyrics so as to allow the listener to interpret their own.
	1:53pm pp: thanks @efd
	♥ 1:55pm Handy Haversack: That was a really well spoken piece! I don't know Big Quiet at all. Apparently, that should change.
	♥ 1:56pm efd: oh you'll like them, Handy!
	♥ 1:56pm tim from washington: What Handy just wrote. That was a very compelling testimonial.
	1:57pm SamTheRam: Thank You for Shaking Through!
	1:58pm JetLee: Hi Pete Galub!
	2:00pm Marisa K: Oh I so agree with this!! Mitch is one of the best guitarists I've ever seen/heard. He does NOT get enough credit for that!
	2:01pm Bianconeri: Holsapple's vocal on Wonder Of Love is incredible -- one of his best on record. It's so effortless and so _him_.
	2:10pm ?: 69% raised. nice.
	♥ 2:12pm efd: Frankly I would prefer not nice at this point!
	2:13pm Jett: Back in the day, NY Rocker used to sponsor my radio show and several others on that station WHBI - FM. So I would play that dB's commercial Everytime I did my show.
	2:14pm Jett: At the time, I believe you @efd were still at WNYU.
	2:16pm PJ: Slickee Boys!
	2:17pm Jett: The Slickee Boys we're pretty cool. I think they did a nice cover of The Squires - Going All The Way
	♥ 2:18pm efd: @Jett that timing sounds right
	♥ 2:22pm tim from washington: Cool! That explained another string in in the US/Australia trans-continental feedback loop.
	2:24pm Tammy E.: Is this show archived to hear later? I missed hearing Marisa Cerio! 😕
	♥ 2:24pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great show EFD I have a box of New York Rocker issues that I want to get rid of
	♥ 2:25pm efd: @Tammy yes, the archive will be posted to the playlist page by 3:30 or so!
	2:26pm Marisa K: @Tammy E. 😘
	♥ 2:27pm efd: @Danny email me about those NYRs! evan at wfmu dot org.
	2:27pm Tammy E.: @efd Awesome! This is a fab show! Thanks so much for highlighting Mitch. See you next week! 👍
	♥ 2:27pm Tommy in Neversink: EFD , you out did yourself on this one
	2:29pm herb.nyc: What a great feel good show. I smile so much when I hear the stories being told. Mitch Easter is such a focal point in indie rock. Evan, thx for doing the show.
	2:29pm kym: Rob Keith!!
	2:30pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Oh my God! So great to hear from Rob Keith from the Baskervils/Baskervilles.
	♥ 2:32pm Handy Haversack: Dang it, a meeting kept me from hearing Dennis D's thoughts and the Smithereens song!
	2:32pm JetLee: Wasn't aware of Baskervilles. Great!
	♥ 2:35pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, EFD!
	2:35pm TerryBKeyport: Donette!!
	♥ 2:36pm woj: yay! donette!
	2:37pm Jett: I have boxes of NY Rocker issues I don't want to get rid of. The disappearance of NY Rocker was a big shock and disappointment to me. Nothing has ever been able to replace that for me.
	2:37pm Kat in Chicago: DONNETTE
	2:37pm phat in Lincoln: Donette Thayer! She lives here now. I still haven't met her. Lol.
	2:38pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Easter's work with Helium and Ex Hex was also splendid.
	2:40pm Jett: Always thought Donette was quite cool!
	♥ 2:41pm efd: I'm so delighted that she wanted to contribute to the show!
	2:41pm herb.nyc: Evan talks about his goal. Oops, I’ve not pledged. Yet. Via a quirk- I have my pledge matched. It’s to come. Can anyone else get a match done? Then do it!
	♥ 2:42pm Handy Haversack: Iconoclasts know from gods!
	♥ 2:43pm Jack McGuire: Carol and Alison. What a swooner.
	♥ 2:45pm woj: sorry scott williams, it might have to be a game theory afternoon for me now
	2:46pm JenInMN: Hey woj :-)
	2:46pm Robm: Did anyone else have the stream drop out for a couple of seconds?
	♥ 2:46pm Jack McGuire: Where the hell do we find another Scott Miller?
	2:46pm Kat in Chicago: I love Lolita Nation so much.
	♥ 2:46pm ChrisB.: Evan, your Scott Miller memorial show in 2013 was memorable.
	♥ 2:47pm karlward: I love it when people decide to just make something happen. Then Mitch comes along and a TON of great things happen. Save some greatness for the rest of us. Jeez.
	♥ 2:49pm Jack McGuire: Wonderful show!
	2:49pm TerryBKeyport: GIL on those drums!!
	♥ 2:49pm Carmichael: I knew the earliest iteration of Game Theory, with Nancy Becker and Fred Juhos. We all went to school together and made noise at night. I ended up joining a different band.
	2:50pm Bianconeri: 2 Steps reissue liner notes contains the incredible story of Mitch meeting C.C.DeVille in a guitar shop and DeVille announcing that he adored 2 Steps and actually playing a bit of one of the songs for him on guitar. Insane rock and roll weirdness.
	♥ 2:50pm tim from washington: Thanks for the hard work on this show, efd! It came out really well. The true testimonials of the latter half of the show are a really nice touch.
	♥ 2:50pm woj: @JenInMN heya! fancy seeing you here!
	♥ 2:51pm ChrisB.: Bonus Loud Family content!
	♥ 2:52pm JenInMN: Couldn't miss a show all about Mitch! I have to run to class in 5 minutes...

	♥ 2:54pm vinylmonkee: Thanks for the excellent show, EFD!
	♥ 2:54pm Handy Haversack: You can barely hear the bagpipe on this one, but it's still excellent. Not as excellent as this tremendous show, though! What a wonderful gift, efd. This was a real radio high point. Can't even thank you enough for what you give us. Though throwing money at the show is one way to try ... if you can, funksters! Later on!
	♥ 2:54pm medson: Great show Evan really appreciate it.
	2:55pm Adorno: Tremendous show EFD!
	♥ 2:55pm radioronan: Great show..Thanks for this Evan!

October 27, 2021: WATCHING FOR A SOUND: Celebrating the music and productions of Mitch Easter!. (Week four of our HELLRAISER FUNDRAISER!)

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

40 years ago next month Let’s Active played their very first show. To mark the occasion I'm dedicating this entire show to the music and production/engineering/mixing work of the band’s now-legendary front man Mitch Easter, who helped create a new genre of Southern jangle-rock. I interviewed Mitch and asked a few of his peers, collaborators, and clients to share some thoughts and memories as well. Thank you for listening!

	12:27pm egould310: Thanks for putting this together, efd. This is really lifting my spirits. It’s a good Wednesday.
	♥ 12:28pm tim from washington: Did Mitch Easter get any sleep in the 80s?
	12:28pm Carl G in NYC: Reading Miles Copland's bio and when talking about IRS records and REM he then dissed both Mitch Easter and The DB's I guess if they both sold more records he would have said something nice!
	♥ 12:28pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: LOVE ME the Eponymous EP.
	♥ 12:28pm Handy Haversack: Calling me in transit! efd! All the other letters! Sorry I'm late.
	12:29pm Joe B: hey efd!
	♥ 12:29pm medson: Hey Evan and everyone. Was this version a hib tone 45 release originally?
	12:29pm bobobobob Plasticland: any body out there that knew the band YiPES! a guy i knew up in Milwaukee bass player Mike Hoffman died 2 days ago 😟
	♥ 12:29pm HyperDose: @Threemoons I had the comp growing up, so always thought of it as an actual album. So. damn. good.
	♥ 12:29pm karlward: Love the Joy Division sound of this song.
	♥ 12:30pm Ken in Fort Worth: I had never heard Let's Active on the radio. You made my morning. Loving the Mitch Easter stuff.
	12:30pm Tammy E.: Mitch was not in the band Little Diesel .
	♥ 12:30pm karlward: Apparently Joy Division is all I talk about these days.
	♥ 12:30pm karlward: These Day-ays
	♥ 12:31pm Ken in Fort Worth: I saw them in Wilmington back in the day. I think it was Wilmington. It's been a while.
	♥ 12:31pm Will the Sound Guy: Good afternoon efd and all!
	♥ 12:31pm slocker: Mitch has the best accent
	♥ 12:32pm efd: @Tammy E. I thought he played with them at the tail end of their existence. He's credited on three tracks on the Little Diesel compilation release.
	12:35pm Tammy E.: Right, he played on some songs, but has never been an official member.
	12:35pm Tammy E.: Great show, btw! ❤️❤️❤️
	♥ 12:36pm efd: @Tammy E Thank you! Hope to have the chance to say hello next week!
	12:36pm Joe B: yes he was an official member when they were briefly billed as The Little Diesel Big Band
	12:41pm Right on cue: @Ken in FW, Blue Line by Let's Active got a lot of airplay on the Baltimore-DC area "college" stations
	12:41pm bobobob: Magnapop
	♥ 12:41pm tim from washington: Who is the female vocalist? She sounds like Debbie Harry.
	12:42pm Right on cue: And Every Word Means No. I played the album to death. Great band
	♥ 12:42pm Brian C.: Room with a view, this sounds different than the version on my old EP
	♥ 12:43pm Hoboken Pete: I hum this song all the time and I completely forgot it was Let's Active...
	♥ 12:43pm HyperDose: Faye Hunter the bass player, possibly? Passed away in 2013. Very sad
	12:43pm Joe B: @right on cue - same in NJ. Let's Active was all over college radio in NJ - WPRB, WRSU, WTSR ...
	♥ 12:43pm efd: @tim from washington That is the late and very much missed Faye Hunter.
	♥ 12:44pm James in ATL: Someone said there is a recent documentary about the 80s Chapel Hill music scene. Anyone know the name?
	♥ 12:45pm medson: I remember fans of REM in the early days being very protective of the band. Almost quizzing others on the music before accepting new people as fans.
	♥ 12:45pm tim from washington: Thanks, efd!
	♥ 12:46pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhh, I love it all! But I really love this! Two-headed cow!
	♥ 12:46pm Handy Haversack: (Gotta make lunch ...)
	12:47pm Joe B: @medson - yes, I remember also. having failed said quiz, i was turned off to REM for a short while!
	12:47pm Right on cue: Did not know about Faye Hunter. So sorry to learn. Rest in peace.
	♥ 12:47pm Alvy Singer: Pilgrimage is Southern Gothic at its finest.
	♥ 12:47pm efd: THis song "Pilgrimage" is mentioned in passing in the next intrerview segment
	12:48pm Joe B: pivotal song from those sessions
	12:50pm Joe B: Stephen Hague
	♥ 12:52pm efd: yeah, Mitch is too polite to mention him by name!
	12:53pm Joe Mulligan: What a crackup IRS was not so impressed by “Pilgrimage”. I’m not the biggest REM fan but how can you deny that song!!
	12:53pm Joe B: and even after that they wanted Elliot Mazer to do the second album
	♥ 12:53pm joe mulligan: crazy
	♥ 12:56pm cuspidor: Sara Romweber died young, too.
	12:56pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, Let’s Active had the best hair back in the day, all three of ‘em.
	♥ 12:57pm pgalub: Big Plans is such a great album!
	12:58pm Joe B: @kat - true!
	12:59pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh, “Fell” is such a dreamy song
	♥ 1:02pm Hoboken Jack: I think Mitch Easter is the first producer I ever knew about. Flash forward to 5 years ago, I'm back in my apartment for the first time in 3.5 months. Friends had removed my clutter so i could maneuver around in a wheelchair, and it was unnerving. But as I wheeled down the hall to my bedroom, I saw on the windowsill my copy of Easter's Dynamico CD. "I'm home," I realized.
	♥ 1:03pm tim from washington: That's so funny to me that early REM fans were snobs. Weren't they pretty accessible (ie not super obscure and easy to find their records) from the get go?
	1:05pm Joe Mulligan: I love hearing the personal truth rather than corporate revisionist history
	♥ 1:07pm efd: Folks, I'd like to remind you that this is the last week of WFMU's HELLRAISER fundraiser! I'm lagging behind the station overall and would really appreciate some support during this show! If you pledge $50 you can get one of our new t-shirts! The best way to help the station is with a monthly pledge of $10 or more, and if you do that you'll get a THIRD t-shirt and even more swag! Please make a pledge now if you're able and show your appreciation for programs like this: pledge.wfmu.org... Thank you to everyone who's already pledged!
	1:08pm Joe Mulligan: If REM didn’t stick to their indie hearts and allowed themselves to become Sammy hagarish the face of American indie may have never been the same
	♥ 1:09pm efd: Not gonna lie, I really want to hear Sammy Hagar sing these songs now.
	♥ 1:11pm tim from washington: This sound would have definitely improved 3 Lock Box.
	1:11pm sphere: Just wanted to say that Every Dog Has His Day is totally one of the 80s albums I pull out almost every couple of weeks. Love it!
	♥ 1:12pm Hoboken Pete: This is sounding like an up tempo Robyn Hitchcock tune
	♥ 1:12pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm from the Winston Salem NC area .Very proud of Mitch and let's Active
	♥ 1:12pm ChrisB.: John Leckie produced an album by New Jersey band The Proof, released on Nemperor Records.
	♥ 1:12pm Ken in Fort Worth: On a tangent, are you going to play any Fetchin Bones?
	1:12pm Joe Mulligan: Hoboken Pete yes!!
	♥ 1:13pm efd: @Hoboken Jack I love that story. Dynamico is such a great and, it seems, largely overlooked album.
	1:14pm sphere: YES
	♥ 1:14pm Zinn The Mood: When this record came out I was mainly hard rock and metal fan, beginning to have grave reservations about the latter. I remember British metal magazine Kerrang had a picture of Robert Plant on the cover with a quote about the current metal scene, “I’d rather mow Mitch Easter’s lawn!”
	♥ 1:14pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So weird about the early snobbery. I just remember hearing "Radio Free Europe" on college radio and it just knocked me out. When the show announcement came out, I could hardly believe it. Most of my friends didn't care because, hey it wasn't Pink Floyd or <insert class rock band here>.
	♥ 1:14pm efd: @Ken in Fort Worth they are on the long list of bands I couldn't fit in, I'm afraid.
	♥ 1:15pm efd: had to make a lot of hard choices over the last few days
	1:16pm PJ: I can see how Leckie’s ideas about how Let’s Active should sound were a shock to the band. The sound is a far cry from the Dukes of Stratosphere and heavy into American AOR of the ‘80s.
	♥ 1:16pm ChrisB.: Is there a "select all" option for favoriting songs?
	♥ 1:17pm tim from washington: I'd compare the sound of Every Dog to X's Aint Love Grand. There's really good songs under the bombastic production.
	♥ 1:18pm efd: "the ageism is sort of gone as long as you're not actually dead" is such a great line
	♥ 1:19pm efd: note that when Mitch says "last Friday" that was actually a couple of Fridays ago
	1:19pm Kat in Chicago: He still sounds like he’s 25 though!
	♥ 1:20pm Ken in Fort Worth: Understood. Thanks! As stated, they were only tangentially related.
	♥ 1:21pm efd: For anyone interested in the Let's Active 40th Anniversary show in Winston-Salem next week: www.etix.com...
	♥ 1:21pm B R M: So good, @efd... loving it!
	♥ 1:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pledge for funk-powered air horns!
	♥ 1:23pm efd: pledge meter still stuck at 64% I see
	♥ 1:31pm prof.fuzz: Great interview!
	1:31pm Too Obtuse: Interview over --- get to pledging!!!
	1:31pm Joe Mulligan: What a great interview, thanks EFD!!
	♥ 1:31pm tim from washington: Great interview, efd!
	♥ 1:31pm radioronan: When Too Bad was playing, all I could hear was Game Theory..great interview..
	♥ 1:32pm Handy Haversack: The spirit of the AIR HORN compels you: PLEDGE! (If you can.)
	1:33pm Bianconeri: The gap between Dynamico and now slowly approaching the gap between Big Plans and Dynamico...
	♥ 1:36pm Mike Sin: Great job, EvanFunk! To say that Mitch Easter is a down-to-earth dude would be an understatement. He comes across with a lot of self-awareness unclouded by ego. Really interesting interview.
	♥ 1:39pm B R M: 👏
	1:40pm JetLee: Great interview and show! I was fortunate enough to see Let's Active open for Echo and the Bunnymen when Sara was in the band, and finally met Mitch when he was touring dynamico. Great guy! It really comes across in the interview.
	♥ 1:41pm Rick from SC: Great show. I was lucky to see Let's Active many times in the early 80's in Atlanta and Athens.
	1:41pm Kat in Chicago: Not really practical at the moment for me to make the trip, but I’d love to be at that Winston-Salem show.
	1:43pm Bianconeri: Too young to have caught Let's Active live, so it was a dream come true to open for a Dynamico-era show and actually see him at work in person. He was even better live than I expected -- I guess I'd thought of him so much as a "studio guy"
	♥ 1:45pm efd: @Bianconeri That's awesome!
	♥ 1:45pm Mike From Brooklyn: I wish I could make it to Winston Salem for that 40th Anniversary
	♥ 1:46pm B R M: The song after which my R.E.M. covers project was named! 🥰
	♥ 1:47pm Handy Haversack: Was already thinking of you, B R M!
	1:47pm pp: didn't realize Don Dixon had that strong a singing voice
	♥ 1:48pm B R M: Ears that are still Children of today on parade Yellow like a geisha gown Denying all the way....
	♥ 1:48pm B R M: Aw, thanks @Handy ... this was a dream show.
	1:48pm phat in Lincoln: So great. I missed the interview, though! Thank heavens for archives.
	♥ 1:48pm efd: @pp Don Dixon has a number of solo albums that are great! Well worth looking up.
	♥ 1:49pm Mike From Brooklyn: The Feelies did an great cover of Shaking Through when I saw them a couple of years ago.
	1:49pm Aaron: Listening while working down here in Richmond VA and totally digging today's show!
	♥ 1:49pm efd: oho, the pledge needle is up to 67% Thank you!
	♥ 1:50pm pgalub: Great show efd! Will have to check the rest out on the archives. I am extremely fortunate to have worked with Mitch in the last few years. Definitely a highlight of my musical life- being at Fidelitoriun and playing solos through a Sovtek pedal with him only a few feet away offering enthusiasm and encouragement. Thanks again!
	♥ 1:51pm Woo: jangle
	1:51pm egould310: Who doesn’t like jangle?
	1:52pm TerryBKeyport: Terrific interview, delightful remarks in the final half hour, and super selections, EFD!
	♥ 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Like Klaus Kinski, I love ze jangle.
	♥ 1:53pm B R M: Reminds me, I have to listen to my copy of Don Dixon's Most of the Girls Like to Dance But Only Some of the Boys Like To... so great
	1:53pm Kaper79: Murmur on my walkman till it degraded ! Murmur is what Michael Stipe did to the lyrics so as to allow the listener to interpret their own.
	1:53pm pp: thanks @efd
	♥ 1:55pm Handy Haversack: That was a really well spoken piece! I don't know Big Quiet at all. Apparently, that should change.
	♥ 1:56pm efd: oh you'll like them, Handy!
	♥ 1:56pm tim from washington: What Handy just wrote. That was a very compelling testimonial.
	1:57pm SamTheRam: Thank You for Shaking Through!
	1:58pm JetLee: Hi Pete Galub!
	2:00pm Marisa K: Oh I so agree with this!! Mitch is one of the best guitarists I've ever seen/heard. He does NOT get enough credit for that!
	2:01pm Bianconeri: Holsapple's vocal on Wonder Of Love is incredible -- one of his best on record. It's so effortless and so _him_.
	2:10pm ?: 69% raised. nice.
	♥ 2:12pm efd: Frankly I would prefer not nice at this point!
	2:13pm Jett: Back in the day, NY Rocker used to sponsor my radio show and several others on that station WHBI - FM. So I would play that dB's commercial Everytime I did my show.
	2:14pm Jett: At the time, I believe you @efd were still at WNYU.
	2:16pm PJ: Slickee Boys!
	2:17pm Jett: The Slickee Boys we're pretty cool. I think they did a nice cover of The Squires - Going All The Way
	♥ 2:18pm efd: @Jett that timing sounds right
	♥ 2:22pm tim from washington: Cool! That explained another string in in the US/Australia trans-continental feedback loop.
	2:24pm Tammy E.: Is this show archived to hear later? I missed hearing Marisa Cerio! 😕
	♥ 2:24pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great show EFD I have a box of New York Rocker issues that I want to get rid of
	♥ 2:25pm efd: @Tammy yes, the archive will be posted to the playlist page by 3:30 or so!
	2:26pm Marisa K: @Tammy E. 😘
	♥ 2:27pm efd: @Danny email me about those NYRs! evan at wfmu dot org.
	2:27pm Tammy E.: @efd Awesome! This is a fab show! Thanks so much for highlighting Mitch. See you next week! 👍
	♥ 2:27pm Tommy in Neversink: EFD , you out did yourself on this one
	2:29pm herb.nyc: What a great feel good show. I smile so much when I hear the stories being told. Mitch Easter is such a focal point in indie rock. Evan, thx for doing the show.
	2:29pm kym: Rob Keith!!
	2:30pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Oh my God! So great to hear from Rob Keith from the Baskervils/Baskervilles.
	♥ 2:32pm Handy Haversack: Dang it, a meeting kept me from hearing Dennis D's thoughts and the Smithereens song!
	2:32pm JetLee: Wasn't aware of Baskervilles. Great!
	♥ 2:35pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, EFD!
	2:35pm TerryBKeyport: Donette!!
	♥ 2:36pm woj: yay! donette!
	2:37pm Jett: I have boxes of NY Rocker issues I don't want to get rid of. The disappearance of NY Rocker was a big shock and disappointment to me. Nothing has ever been able to replace that for me.
	2:37pm Kat in Chicago: DONNETTE
	2:37pm phat in Lincoln: Donette Thayer! She lives here now. I still haven't met her. Lol.
	2:38pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Easter's work with Helium and Ex Hex was also splendid.
	2:40pm Jett: Always thought Donette was quite cool!
	♥ 2:41pm efd: I'm so delighted that she wanted to contribute to the show!
	2:41pm herb.nyc: Evan talks about his goal. Oops, I’ve not pledged. Yet. Via a quirk- I have my pledge matched. It’s to come. Can anyone else get a match done? Then do it!
	♥ 2:42pm Handy Haversack: Iconoclasts know from gods!
	♥ 2:43pm Jack McGuire: Carol and Alison. What a swooner.
	♥ 2:45pm woj: sorry scott williams, it might have to be a game theory afternoon for me now
	2:46pm JenInMN: Hey woj :-)
	2:46pm Robm: Did anyone else have the stream drop out for a couple of seconds?
	♥ 2:46pm Jack McGuire: Where the hell do we find another Scott Miller?
