	♥ 12:18pm efd: was tempted to play Run DMC's "Mary Mary" along with Del Tha Funkee Homosapien doing "Mistadobalina," but thought better of it.

	♥ 12:22pm tim from washington: I caught the tail end of Jesse Jarnow's cosmic solute to Nesmith. That's worth diving into the archives for later.

	♥ 12:23pm Dave the Spazz: Iscariot? Diggin' the tribute!

	12:23pm P-90: Durn, my current cable co. doesn’t have Decades.
	12:24pm Andres: "pisces, iscariot, capricorn & jones ltd" That was a rare Smashing Pumpkins/Monkees collaboration. JK. I didn't figure it till I searched it.
	♥ 12:25pm Pseu Braun: Hey Evan, absolutely loving this, you da man!
	♥ 12:26pm tim from washington: Carmichael @ 12;20 - show some respect, pal! I don't see you foiling dastardly figures of geopolitical intrigue. Nope, you're just sitting their with your quite handsome good looks.

	12:34pm JM Beckford: Crusin on Nesmuth’s infinite Rider album is excellent.
	12:36pm skyline chili: What's wrong with the Pool it LP. I thought it was good
	12:38pm Andres: I converted a neighbour to ’FMU when I turned on last year’s Holiday Music Funktacular! It is that good! Stock up on egg nog now.
	♥ 12:39pm Carmichael: Put a notch on your belt, Andres!
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Been listening, but for some reason I am taking advantage of taking a day off from work to clean up around the Shamblehome a little bit. Hey, tim, Carmichael, courtneynoir, Skyline, Frank, Andres, luka, 3Moons, Stevel, Mike, everyone! The kittens are recovering from the vacuum trauma and discovering a will to lunch in themselves.
	♥ 12:41pm tim from washington: Yo Handy!
	♥ 12:41pm dave wuz here: happy is the welder with lunch at home and efd on the radio
	♥ 12:42pm efd: howdy Handy!
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Also, we took the kittens in for a check-up yesterday. They are awesome, the vet loves them, and we were early (thanks, bus), so these are now the only kittens, I am wagering, to have hung out at the last OK bar in Williamsburg -- the Levee! Where I got a "Hey, love that shirt!" for my WFMU T as well!
	♥ 12:43pm tim from washington: I loved that Soft on Crime. The picked up where the Soft Boys and Homosexuals left off.
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Already got this Rearranged Dace album -- you can't make me get it twice, efd! Ha!
	♥ 12:44pm pgalub: Hey efd, Handy, and everyone.
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Pete! Did you hear about Jack?! I had my suspicions ...
	♥ 12:46pm Hoboken Jack: I am not!!!! Good afternoon EFD, Brooklyn Mike, SteveL, Frank, Dave, all.
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: Something tells me Jonathan Paley will make an appearance of the efd Best of 2021 show.
	♥ 12:46pm Hoboken Jack: Peeeeete!
	12:46pm Andres: Carmichael: I’m opening ears when I can. Handy: Kitten vacuum trauma. Now I have a name for It.
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: @Hoboken Jack - denial is a symptom.....
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Oh, er, hey, Jack. We just need you to know that everyone here loves you. We just think it's time to talk.
	♥ 12:47pm Hoboken Jack: Eh go stick a kitten in your shorts
	♥ 12:48pm Handy Haversack: Well, hey, it's my day off ... !
	12:48pm skyline chili: I like eggnog, but it's determined not to like me. For one reason I'm lactose intolerant, and even though they make lactose free eggnog it's still harsh on my stomach for some reason.
	♥ 12:50pm prof.fuzz: Howdy EFD! Handy, Tim, and other funkers!
	12:51pm Andres: It’s all the rum, skyline chili.
	♥ 12:51pm B R M: Set it and forget it! ❤️
	12:52pm skyline chili: And a hey to you too Handy.
	♥ 12:52pm tim from washington: efd - you should have a segment in your Best Of show for the Most Difficult To Cue of 2021.
	♥ 12:54pm efd: ha, I'll save that for the Worst Of show tim.
	12:57pm skyline chili: @Andres: but it's the rum that puts the nog in the eggnog. And what the heck is nog anyway? Nog... what a word.
	♥ 12:58pm pgalub: JAAAAACK!
	♥ 12:59pm DjLorraine: Handy i enjoyed hearing the vet loves your kittens.
	1:00pm Andres: Peak Bleak. Having trouble with the lyrics but maybe it is a song about the longest night of the year. Solstice music!
	♥ 1:03pm McGroovey: Just checking in while eating my lunch, to see if anyone is saying anything interesting.
	♥ 1:03pm Hughie Considine: Stan Lynch swung more than the excellent drummer who replaced him. I say this not as a drummer.
	♥ 1:04pm Gurldoggie: I loved this Tom Petty record when it came out. It's so obviously a southern-flavored rock record, it's funny how there was a moment when he and his band were lumped into the "new wave."
	1:04pm Dayffid: Did he just say that she “ate his baby!”!!!
	♥ 1:06pm Hughie Considine: Yeah, if you wore a leather jacket in 1977, you were going to be labeled punk.
	♥ 1:06pm Carmichael: I have never worn a leather jacket. Guess I'm not the type ... 😞
	♥ 1:07pm Lizardner Dave !: Or Fonzie.
	♥ 1:08pm Handy Haversack: Hey, prof.fuzz, DjLorraine, McGroove! DjLorraine, direct quote: "Goblin! I have been thinking about him a lot!"!
	♥ 1:10pm Carmichael: I was in Korea when it came out, and I wasn't aware until I came back to the US the following year.
	♥ 1:10pm McGroovey: Hey all. I'm about to file my 2021 CD and LP acquisitions in the alphabet for the first time, then vacuum and freak out the cats.... Vacuuming the cats? No, but maybe they need it.
	♥ 1:12pm Handy Haversack: AIR HORN!!!!! And I am socially mediated for another week.
	1:13pm admiral crisp: shakes fist techtonically
	♥ 1:13pm prof.fuzz: woot!
	♥ 1:17pm Hughie Considine: The ominous vocals on top of bubbly beats seems to fit for a band named for a Jim Thompson novel.
	♥ 1:27pm McGroovey: Question for you nerds: April March: A? or M?
	♥ 1:27pm McGroovey: Sorry. Typo. I meant "experts".
	♥ 1:28pm efd: @McGroovey go with your first instinct, it'll be easier for you to find it later.
	♥ 1:28pm Polyus: The Sandwiches? That's a Minneapolis deep cut right there.
	♥ 1:29pm efd: Glad you know 'em, Polyus! I love that song.
	♥ 1:31pm Handy Haversack: Gotta ask K8 if she knows them when she gets back. And of course whether she saw them at First Avenue!
	♥ 1:35pm McGroovey: @efd But I'm always losing things, using that logic. "I'll just put it here, in this safe place, so I don't lose it...". OK... A it is.
	♥ 1:35pm iiibeat: Puberty shoe shine. Burning baby-fat.
	♥ 1:43pm karlward: A little Nels Cline vibe there, a little Richard Thompson vibe here, I like it
	1:47pm Andres: I misplaced a couple of cds in ‘97. I can’t even remember which ones but still slightly miffed about it.
	1:51pm DJ Guin: man, i could use a sammich. so hungee
	♥ 1:54pm prof.fuzz: I hope 2022 brings a collection of chastity belt dance remixes called "chastity belt loops"...
	♥ 1:58pm Figgsrock: Man, I do love that Paul and John album. Great hearing it again.
	♥ 1:59pm Fishtown Mike: The Reds, Pinks & Purples have really been one of my favorites, since you started playing their songs. Their Screaming Trees cover blew me away.
	♥ 2:00pm Handy Haversack: Which could lead to the "Chastity Belt Pop-and-Lock-a-Thon."
	♥ 2:00pm prof.fuzz: @Handy: Take my money!
	♥ 2:00pm karlward: The Chastity Belt Chanukah album: Chastity Gelt
	♥ 2:02pm karlward: The Chastity Belt weight loss / fitness album: Chastity Svelte
	♥ 2:02pm DjLorraine: Great try EFD with kids in the hall !! TY
	♥ 2:02pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hi Handy, Hoboken Jack, McGroovey
	2:03pm Andres: Perhaps they are too modest.
	2:03pm TVP: Oh, just in time for Bellini Day!
	♥ 2:03pm Handy Haversack: efd will have to a guest on the Sheena stream just to explain Mouth Congress.
	♥ 2:03pm karlward: The Chastity Belt tribute to the American construction worker album: Chastity Built
	♥ 2:03pm McGroovey: I just put The Reds, Pinks, and Purples and The John & Pauls in my buy cart in Bandcamp.
	2:04pm egould310: I am keenly interested in an interview with Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini. Pass it on to whoever you’re in contact with. This interview must happen!
	♥ 2:05pm efd: @egould and @DjLorraine I'm not giving up!
	2:05pm Dayffid: Very nice
	♥ 2:09pm DjLorraine: The Blues music skit from Kids in the Hall was funny. Kathy from the typing pool was a mean-mistreater.
	♥ 2:12pm Yes: enjoying the tunes , efd
	♥ 2:12pm karlward: One of the few times I have been starstruck in NYC was when I was waiting for a light to change and realized that Bruce McCulloch was standing right next to me.
	♥ 2:14pm efd: oh boy, I would have been starstruck too @karlward!
	♥ 2:14pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wow, I'm sitting here reading some technical documentation and thinking "Hmmm....this really sounds like Hot Child In The City"
	♥ 2:17pm Handy Haversack: Saw a Wet Leg advertisement poster while walking to Brooklyn Bowl last night. Who'd'a thunk!
	♥ 2:18pm Yes: mmm bubble baths
	2:21pm harktheumpire: The way that band is getting pushing on the Instagram makes me resent them, but I’m sure they’re nice folks with good intentions. I’m just allergic to labels pushing bands that hard
	2:21pm pp: saw Wet Leg on TikTok this morning and was intrigued by their patois
	♥ 2:22pm Handy Haversack: Ha, I know Wet Leg only from WFMU! Which is why seeing a poster ad on a fence had me all "buh-WHA?"
	♥ 2:27pm Carmichael: Ya, Ursula! Listen on the Sheena stream.
	2:30pm Andres: Had to switch to big speakers to pump up this set.
	♥ 2:31pm efd: smart move, @Andres!
	♥ 2:33pm herb.nyc: Oh, I’m pumping up this set via my iPad mini at the ny public library. Am so tempted to let everyone hear here, herr Davies.
	♥ 2:37pm DonJuanTijuana: Beats! I feel I’m at the Club!!
	♥ 2:38pm queems: dang now we're talking
	2:38pm Andres: If you’re going to title a track Sauna then it better be hot! Delivers!
	♥ 2:41pm Gurldoggie: What the...? Did this turn into Polyglot's show??
	2:44pm Tom from Stirling: I love this Pays P. So good! Yes, it is.
	♥ 2:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, this album kicks ass!
	2:45pm Tom from Stirling: Dont what she saying. Bet it naughty
	2:48pm skyline chili: C ya Evan"Funkees"Davies
	♥ 2:48pm McGroovey: I don't really know who Bruce McCulloch is, so I looked him up. Yeah, I know the face, but just in a "Hmm I know that face from somewhere" way. I might have seen him on TV, or he might have been my bus driver, or maybe he was in some band I saw once...
	♥ 2:48pm Carmichael: These songs keep spinning around the Stereolab orbit ....
	2:49pm listener phillip (in the bronx): Hey😔 "dummy" is what my father use to call me when I was 7 years old
	2:49pm DouglasInDallas: Late to the party but glad to hear EFD from blustery cold Denver this week. How's my fellow Funkster's and WFMU fam doing?
	♥ 2:49pm McGroovey: I've got into the F's so far. I hope I can get to Z by 6:00.
	♥ 2:49pm Carmichael: Bruce McCulloch was the short guy in Kids inn the Hall. Known for the Riders on the Storm skit, among others.
	♥ 2:49pm B R M: This DUMMY record made my favs of the year... interested to see what ends up on yours @efd!
	2:49pm listener phillip (in the bronx): My dad use to call me "dummy" so much I thought it was my name
	2:51pm listener phillip (in the bronx): Welp he cant call me "dummy" anymore. He died In 2003
	♥ 2:53pm Handy Haversack: I think it'd be pronounced more like like "pay pay." Or Pépé, if you will.
	♥ 2:55pm nathan: "it's not invasive, it was invited" love that line
	♥ 2:57pm Handy Haversack: The kitten is inside the laundry bag. Just saying. Thanks, efd! Great to be here hearing and hear hereing. Later on, Funkenfunksters!
	♥ 2:57pm B R M: This Lewsberg record also made my list! I CANNOT get it out of my head.

	♥ 12:08pm Stevel: efd before dark. Still adjusting but its always good! Not a student of Nez, but did he feed the country rock movement, along with Graham Parker? Can I blame the Eagles on Nez? (Kidding/not kidding.)
	♥ 12:09pm courtneynoir: We're in a wind advisory so bad today in Nebraska that they cancelled school LAST NIGHT so if I go out from a tree blowing through my window while The Monkees are playing I'm calling it a win!
	♥ 12:09pm Stevel: Graham Parsons, (idiot!)
	12:09pm listener phillip (in the bronx): I had one monkees album was a greatest hits and sounded nothing like the music on the tv show

	12:13pm Michael Ackerman: I loved that the "Planet Sheen" cartoon had a character named "Mr. Nesmith" that was a chimpanzee astronaut
	12:13pm listener phillip (in the bronx): I was not born till 1967 so I missed out on the monkees
	♥ 12:14pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: So is this set gonna be all Mike Nesmith/Monkees?

	♥ 12:16pm courtneynoir: Why ya buggin'?
	♥ 12:17pm luka: i'm certain i drove my mother crazy with the amount of monkees reruns i watched on nick at nite.
	♥ 12:17pm luka: "why does this child watch nothing but Laugh In?"
	♥ 12:18pm Fishtown Mike: I'm really enjoying this set. It's really a shame he's gone. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see him perform live.
	♥ 12:18pm efd: was tempted to play Run DMC's "Mary Mary" along with Del Tha Funkee Homosapien doing "Mistadobalina," but thought better of it.
	♥ 12:18pm courtneynoir: @luka - same

	♥ 12:22pm tim from washington: I caught the tail end of Jesse Jarnow's cosmic solute to Nesmith. That's worth diving into the archives for later.
	♥ 12:22pm vinylmonkee: My favorite rendition of Different Drum!
	♥ 12:23pm Dave the Spazz: Iscariot? Diggin' the tribute!
	♥ 12:23pm Frank In Queens: Hi efd! Nice Nez tribute.

	12:23pm P-90: Durn, my current cable co. doesn’t have Decades.
	12:24pm Andres: "pisces, iscariot, capricorn & jones ltd" That was a rare Smashing Pumpkins/Monkees collaboration. JK. I didn't figure it till I searched it.
	♥ 12:25pm Pseu Braun: Hey Evan, absolutely loving this, you da man!
	♥ 12:26pm tim from washington: Carmichael @ 12;20 - show some respect, pal! I don't see you foiling dastardly figures of geopolitical intrigue. Nope, you're just sitting their with your quite handsome good looks.

	12:34pm JM Beckford: Crusin on Nesmuth’s infinite Rider album is excellent.
	12:36pm skyline chili: What's wrong with the Pool it LP. I thought it was good
	12:38pm Andres: I converted a neighbour to ’FMU when I turned on last year’s Holiday Music Funktacular! It is that good! Stock up on egg nog now.
	♥ 12:39pm Carmichael: Put a notch on your belt, Andres!
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! Been listening, but for some reason I am taking advantage of taking a day off from work to clean up around the Shamblehome a little bit. Hey, tim, Carmichael, courtneynoir, Skyline, Frank, Andres, luka, 3Moons, Stevel, Mike, everyone! The kittens are recovering from the vacuum trauma and discovering a will to lunch in themselves.
	♥ 12:41pm tim from washington: Yo Handy!
	♥ 12:41pm dave wuz here: happy is the welder with lunch at home and efd on the radio
	♥ 12:42pm efd: howdy Handy!
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Also, we took the kittens in for a check-up yesterday. They are awesome, the vet loves them, and we were early (thanks, bus), so these are now the only kittens, I am wagering, to have hung out at the last OK bar in Williamsburg -- the Levee! Where I got a "Hey, love that shirt!" for my WFMU T as well!
	♥ 12:43pm tim from washington: I loved that Soft on Crime. The picked up where the Soft Boys and Homosexuals left off.
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Already got this Rearranged Dace album -- you can't make me get it twice, efd! Ha!
	♥ 12:44pm pgalub: Hey efd, Handy, and everyone.
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Pete! Did you hear about Jack?! I had my suspicions ...
	♥ 12:46pm Hoboken Jack: I am not!!!! Good afternoon EFD, Brooklyn Mike, SteveL, Frank, Dave, all.
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: Something tells me Jonathan Paley will make an appearance of the efd Best of 2021 show.
	♥ 12:46pm Hoboken Jack: Peeeeete!
	12:46pm Andres: Carmichael: I’m opening ears when I can. Handy: Kitten vacuum trauma. Now I have a name for It.
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: @Hoboken Jack - denial is a symptom.....
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Oh, er, hey, Jack. We just need you to know that everyone here loves you. We just think it's time to talk.
	♥ 12:47pm Hoboken Jack: Eh go stick a kitten in your shorts
	♥ 12:48pm Handy Haversack: Well, hey, it's my day off ... !
	12:48pm skyline chili: I like eggnog, but it's determined not to like me. For one reason I'm lactose intolerant, and even though they make lactose free eggnog it's still harsh on my stomach for some reason.
	♥ 12:50pm prof.fuzz: Howdy EFD! Handy, Tim, and other funkers!
	12:51pm Andres: It’s all the rum, skyline chili.
	♥ 12:51pm B R M: Set it and forget it! ❤️
	12:52pm skyline chili: And a hey to you too Handy.
	♥ 12:52pm tim from washington: efd - you should have a segment in your Best Of show for the Most Difficult To Cue of 2021.
	♥ 12:54pm efd: ha, I'll save that for the Worst Of show tim.
	12:57pm skyline chili: @Andres: but it's the rum that puts the nog in the eggnog. And what the heck is nog anyway? Nog... what a word.
	♥ 12:58pm pgalub: JAAAAACK!
	♥ 12:59pm DjLorraine: Handy i enjoyed hearing the vet loves your kittens.
	1:00pm Andres: Peak Bleak. Having trouble with the lyrics but maybe it is a song about the longest night of the year. Solstice music!
	♥ 1:03pm McGroovey: Just checking in while eating my lunch, to see if anyone is saying anything interesting.
	♥ 1:03pm Hughie Considine: Stan Lynch swung more than the excellent drummer who replaced him. I say this not as a drummer.
	♥ 1:04pm Gurldoggie: I loved this Tom Petty record when it came out. It's so obviously a southern-flavored rock record, it's funny how there was a moment when he and his band were lumped into the "new wave."
	1:04pm Dayffid: Did he just say that she “ate his baby!”!!!
	♥ 1:06pm Hughie Considine: Yeah, if you wore a leather jacket in 1977, you were going to be labeled punk.
	♥ 1:06pm Carmichael: I have never worn a leather jacket. Guess I'm not the type ... 😞
	♥ 1:07pm Lizardner Dave !: Or Fonzie.
	♥ 1:08pm Handy Haversack: Hey, prof.fuzz, DjLorraine, McGroove! DjLorraine, direct quote: "Goblin! I have been thinking about him a lot!"!
	♥ 1:10pm Carmichael: I was in Korea when it came out, and I wasn't aware until I came back to the US the following year.
	♥ 1:10pm McGroovey: Hey all. I'm about to file my 2021 CD and LP acquisitions in the alphabet for the first time, then vacuum and freak out the cats.... Vacuuming the cats? No, but maybe they need it.
	♥ 1:12pm Handy Haversack: AIR HORN!!!!! And I am socially mediated for another week.
	1:13pm admiral crisp: shakes fist techtonically
	♥ 1:13pm prof.fuzz: woot!
	♥ 1:17pm Hughie Considine: The ominous vocals on top of bubbly beats seems to fit for a band named for a Jim Thompson novel.
	♥ 1:27pm McGroovey: Question for you nerds: April March: A? or M?
	♥ 1:27pm McGroovey: Sorry. Typo. I meant "experts".
	♥ 1:28pm efd: @McGroovey go with your first instinct, it'll be easier for you to find it later.
	♥ 1:28pm Polyus: The Sandwiches? That's a Minneapolis deep cut right there.
	♥ 1:29pm efd: Glad you know 'em, Polyus! I love that song.
	♥ 1:31pm Handy Haversack: Gotta ask K8 if she knows them when she gets back. And of course whether she saw them at First Avenue!
	♥ 1:35pm McGroovey: @efd But I'm always losing things, using that logic. "I'll just put it here, in this safe place, so I don't lose it...". OK... A it is.
	♥ 1:35pm iiibeat: Puberty shoe shine. Burning baby-fat.
	♥ 1:43pm karlward: A little Nels Cline vibe there, a little Richard Thompson vibe here, I like it
	1:47pm Andres: I misplaced a couple of cds in ‘97. I can’t even remember which ones but still slightly miffed about it.
	1:51pm DJ Guin: man, i could use a sammich. so hungee
	♥ 1:54pm prof.fuzz: I hope 2022 brings a collection of chastity belt dance remixes called "chastity belt loops"...
	♥ 1:58pm Figgsrock: Man, I do love that Paul and John album. Great hearing it again.
	♥ 1:59pm Fishtown Mike: The Reds, Pinks & Purples have really been one of my favorites, since you started playing their songs. Their Screaming Trees cover blew me away.
	♥ 2:00pm Handy Haversack: Which could lead to the "Chastity Belt Pop-and-Lock-a-Thon."
	♥ 2:00pm prof.fuzz: @Handy: Take my money!
	♥ 2:00pm karlward: The Chastity Belt Chanukah album: Chastity Gelt
	♥ 2:02pm karlward: The Chastity Belt weight loss / fitness album: Chastity Svelte
	♥ 2:02pm DjLorraine: Great try EFD with kids in the hall !! TY
	♥ 2:02pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hi Handy, Hoboken Jack, McGroovey
	2:03pm Andres: Perhaps they are too modest.
	2:03pm TVP: Oh, just in time for Bellini Day!
	♥ 2:03pm Handy Haversack: efd will have to a guest on the Sheena stream just to explain Mouth Congress.
	♥ 2:03pm karlward: The Chastity Belt tribute to the American construction worker album: Chastity Built
	♥ 2:03pm McGroovey: I just put The Reds, Pinks, and Purples and The John & Pauls in my buy cart in Bandcamp.
	2:04pm egould310: I am keenly interested in an interview with Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini. Pass it on to whoever you’re in contact with. This interview must happen!
	♥ 2:05pm efd: @egould and @DjLorraine I'm not giving up!
	2:05pm Dayffid: Very nice
	♥ 2:09pm DjLorraine: The Blues music skit from Kids in the Hall was funny. Kathy from the typing pool was a mean-mistreater.
	♥ 2:12pm Yes: enjoying the tunes , efd
	♥ 2:12pm karlward: One of the few times I have been starstruck in NYC was when I was waiting for a light to change and realized that Bruce McCulloch was standing right next to me.
	♥ 2:14pm efd: oh boy, I would have been starstruck too @karlward!
	♥ 2:14pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wow, I'm sitting here reading some technical documentation and thinking "Hmmm....this really sounds like Hot Child In The City"
	♥ 2:17pm Handy Haversack: Saw a Wet Leg advertisement poster while walking to Brooklyn Bowl last night. Who'd'a thunk!
	♥ 2:18pm Yes: mmm bubble baths
	2:21pm harktheumpire: The way that band is getting pushing on the Instagram makes me resent them, but I’m sure they’re nice folks with good intentions. I’m just allergic to labels pushing bands that hard
	2:21pm pp: saw Wet Leg on TikTok this morning and was intrigued by their patois
	♥ 2:22pm Handy Haversack: Ha, I know Wet Leg only from WFMU! Which is why seeing a poster ad on a fence had me all "buh-WHA?"
	♥ 2:27pm Carmichael: Ya, Ursula! Listen on the Sheena stream.
	2:30pm Andres: Had to switch to big speakers to pump up this set.
	♥ 2:31pm efd: smart move, @Andres!
	♥ 2:33pm herb.nyc: Oh, I’m pumping up this set via my iPad mini at the ny public library. Am so tempted to let everyone hear here, herr Davies.
	♥ 2:37pm DonJuanTijuana: Beats! I feel I’m at the Club!!
	♥ 2:38pm queems: dang now we're talking
	2:38pm Andres: If you’re going to title a track Sauna then it better be hot! Delivers!
	♥ 2:41pm Gurldoggie: What the...? Did this turn into Polyglot's show??
	2:44pm Tom from Stirling: I love this Pays P. So good! Yes, it is.
	♥ 2:45pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, this album kicks ass!
	2:45pm Tom from Stirling: Dont what she saying. Bet it naughty
	2:48pm skyline chili: C ya Evan"Funkees"Davies
	♥ 2:48pm McGroovey: I don't really know who Bruce McCulloch is, so I looked him up. Yeah, I know the face, but just in a "Hmm I know that face from somewhere" way. I might have seen him on TV, or he might have been my bus driver, or maybe he was in some band I saw once...
	♥ 2:48pm Carmichael: These songs keep spinning around the Stereolab orbit ....
	2:49pm listener phillip (in the bronx): Hey😔 "dummy" is what my father use to call me when I was 7 years old
	2:49pm DouglasInDallas: Late to the party but glad to hear EFD from blustery cold Denver this week. How's my fellow Funkster's and WFMU fam doing?
	♥ 2:49pm McGroovey: I've got into the F's so far. I hope I can get to Z by 6:00.

	♥ 2:49pm B R M: This DUMMY record made my favs of the year... interested to see what ends up on yours @efd!
	2:49pm listener phillip (in the bronx): My dad use to call me "dummy" so much I thought it was my name
	2:51pm listener phillip (in the bronx): Welp he cant call me "dummy" anymore. He died In 2003
	♥ 2:53pm Handy Haversack: I think it'd be pronounced more like like "pay pay." Or Pépé, if you will.
	♥ 2:55pm nathan: "it's not invasive, it was invited" love that line
	♥ 2:57pm Handy Haversack: The kitten is inside the laundry bag. Just saying. Thanks, efd! Great to be here hearing and hear hereing. Later on, Funkenfunksters!
