	12:07pm Figgsrock: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:02 I have to admit, that duet JD did with James Taylor was a big favorite of mine when I was...11, 12?
	12:08pm Steve from Stag!: ↳ efd @12:07 We still play it from time to time. We've long considered asking him down to play the Summer Stag Party... with us backing...
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:07 which was last year, right?
	12:08pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:07 He was one of the last shows I caught at the old City Winery before it shut down.
	12:08pm Figgsrock: HA! I wish!
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:08 8 year olds dude!
	12:09pm efd: ↳ Steve from Stag! @12:08 omg, I would seriously consider flying out if that ever happened!
	12:09pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:09 I was just about to say the same thing EFD!
	12:10pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ clarke @12:02 Nah, that was Glenn Frey.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:10 maybe. like i always say: i should never play dead or alive with anyone.
	12:11pm clarke: plup~
	12:11pm slocker: woot woot
	12:11pm listener james from westwood: Plup!
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "disco 2000" by "pulp" Oh yeah! God, this show was SO FREAKING GREAT! Still riding the high! Great to see you on the security line, efd!
	12:11pm slocker: I lOVE PLUP
	12:11pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "disco 2000" by "pulp" Kings Theatre is a nice venue. I recommend to anyone who's on the fence about going to a show there.
	12:11pm efd: ↳ slocker @12:11 hahahaha, whoops!
	12:12pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ slocker @12:11 plup plup fuzz fuzz
	12:12pm Will thee SG OCNY: Good Afternoon efd and all!!!
	12:12pm OceanBeachSF: And now Pulp! Saw them in SF Monday. Good show! Jarvis is very flexible.
	12:12pm slocker: credit James for catching that
	12:12pm clarke: is mcgroovey assisting in the studio?
	12:12pm slocker: ↳ OceanBeachSF @12:12 especially for a senior
	12:14pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "back to the wall (marine mix)" by "swiss navy" Tell us about Swiss Navy. Quick googling hasn't helped me. It sounds kinda like what I imagine Midge Ure would have done before Ultravox, except that I think that was a different band
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:14 howdy son! it is getting more moderate, here, in case you are up for a visit!
	12:15pm efd: cued up the wrong song, doh!
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: Doncha st__
	12:16pm clarke: they're all great!
	12:16pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:15 No plans in the predictable future, but... Someday.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:15 name that tune winner!
	12:16pm efd: ↳ clarke @12:16 true, but this was the one in my head
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:16 I was kinda ready for it. But can't complain because you are correct.
	12:17pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:15 What was it supposed to be?
	12:17pm efd: ↳ McGroovey @12:14 All I can tell you offhand is that it was produced (and song co-written) by '70s English glam-popper Barry Blue
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:16 no losers in the catalog!
	12:18pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:17 supposed to be this! There was about 3 seconds of the previous track, though
	12:18pm Figgsrock: Oh, I didn't even hear that! Nice save!
	12:19pm clarke: supposedly these 'demos' was them checking out Syncro just after the re-build. like they cut all the tunes in a couple of days.
	12:19pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:18 Also, I really cannot wait for Bill Janovitz's Cars book next year.
	12:19pm efd: boy are those songs closely tracked together!
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:17 Elliot Easton never wasted a note.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:19 wow, did not know - billy good writah!
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 u got THAT right! !
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "a change in the weather" by "mayflies usa" Chapel Hill in the house! Sweet harmonies!
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Song: "a change in the weather" by "mayflies usa" they should tour more often!
	12:21pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:12 Do I do that? I didn't remember ever doing that. Not sure how much help I'd be, though.
	12:21pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:20 Yes, it was announced last summer I think? I actually helped procure some interviews from when they first started for Bill to use for it.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:21 ha ha ha, was referring to the typo.
	12:21pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "a change in the weather" by "mayflies usa" The new songs sounded great. Good afternoon, efd & all.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:21 very cool! they didn't do many interviews!!
	12:23pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:21 Typos? Moi? I should really put on my glasses
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:23 i live for McGroovey's typos!
	12:24pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:22 I should say that its a fully authorized book, so the three remaining members have sat down with Bill for the book. But the older interviews I helped obtain are with Ric and Ben.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 for sure! who didn't like to talk, either of them.
	12:25pm love2laf: Just efd? That's plenty of good music to come. Hello fellow funksters, hope your day is as beautiful as what's going on here, sunny, crisp air, all what September should be.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Song: "daddy should have stayed in high school" by "chea... ohhhh yessss!!
	12:29pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 I've already told Bill he has to come on my show when the book comes out
	12:31pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:29 absolutely!
	12:32pm clarke: keep the door barred!
	12:34pm listener 126464: I prefer the rambling and speculating.
	12:36pm egould: 1351 Main st, Brockton appears to be an office building.
	12:41pm OceanBeachSF: I would guess the Pulp stage show was rented in SF. Wasn’t particularly impressive!
	12:43pm Steve from Stag!: It's just not profitable for bands to travel with lighting rigs anymore, unless you're a megaband. Everything is LED based and computer controlled. The lighting guy carries it all in their laptop. You just adjust per venue.
	12:43pm Van: Howdy everyone!
	12:45pm efd: thanks Steve and OceanBeach!
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Steve from Stag! @12:43 i'm fairly sure that Slowdive travelled with at least some lights.
	12:50pm efd: I wouldn't really have thought twice about it if it had been a tour with stops in cities that are closer together
	12:50pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "familiar dreams" by "the gabys" Fantastic.

	1:15pm Artie: ↳ Song: "pop seeds" by "the jesus & mary chain" What a great single. Light shades of 'Godstar'. Perfect pop.
	1:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "pop seeds" by "the jesus & mary chain" this song was playing in the fuZZZmobile when i got dropped off on campus this morning!
	1:16pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "pop seeds" by "the jesus & mary chain" I didn't get the last Mary Chain record, but this single is tops!
	1:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "pop seeds" by "the jesus & mary chain" and for the life of me, i can't figure out how this tune didn't make the final cut for the glasgow eyes album. the notes on bandcamp indicate it was recorded during those sessions.
	1:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:16 tis a good un! tough-sounding! do you get dropped all this semester?
	1:17pm clarke: ↳ Song: "torn in two" by "beachwood sparks" good entire album!
	1:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:17 just got dropped off today cuz the redhead needed the fuZZZmobile today while i'm teaching. i hope she and tim are getting tacos!
	1:19pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:17 tacos!!!
	1:20pm love2laf: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:17 Tacos, of course they're getting tacos. The real question is how many?
	1:20pm clarke: mini!
	1:21pm prof.fuzz: ↳ love2laf @1:20 as long as there are a couple left when i get picked up around 3 this afternoon, i'm good.
	1:22pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 is your week now front-loaded? do you have stuff on fridays??
	1:24pm Giselle: Thanks for supporting awsome Toronto bands!
	1:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:22 i teach on mon and weds, and have grading, class prep, research, writing, stupid meetings, etc on the other days. friday is usually lighter though.
	1:26pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 cool. i guess?
	1:27pm clarke: art d'echo would be a funner way to spell it.
	1:27pm love2laf: Lots and lots of CanCon, thanks efd!
	1:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:26 other than teaching during chunks of my prime wfmu listening midday hours, it's ok.

	1:53pm clarke: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:52 the above was my way of doing just that!
	1:54pm Spikey BXL: ↳ clarke @1:53 I echoed and followed suit
	1:55pm clarke: i do believe it was re-recorded, but just imagining it sounds different from the single??
	1:58pm Gregosaurus: EFD's becoming an AM drive time extravaganza!
	1:59pm PaulRobeson1924: Dude! Yeah!
	2:04pm Mattynotimes: You just made a fan outta me! Never heard before and love it
	2:04pm efd: ↳ Mattynotimes @2:04 that's one!

	2:14pm tim: ↳ Song: "there's a moon in the sky (called the moon)" by "... This is one of my favorite song titles of all time. Ricky Wilson - one of the most overlooked guitar great of all time!
	2:15pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "there's a moon in the sky (called the moon)" by "... One of my few teenage albums Mom actually liked.
	2:16pm Hughie Considine: ↳ tim @2:14 Yes - what a unique sound he had. Ballsy but somehow subtle.

	2:44pm clarke: i mean: DO go to gonerfest!!
	2:46pm drr: ↳ tim @2:18 I read a really interesting thing Keith Strickland, the original drummer said about Ricky Wilson's playing. He said after RW died, they didn't think they could replace him, so Keith taught himself to play guitar like Ricky Wilson, and became the guitar player. I will try to find the source.
	2:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @2:46 that's basically true!

	12:06pm Steve from Stag!: NICK GILDER! ! ! His best track.

	12:07pm efd: ↳ Steve from Stag! @12:06 haha, it is!! Still cannot believe you guys busted out that cover when you played on my show.
	12:07pm Figgsrock: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @12:02 I have to admit, that duet JD did with James Taylor was a big favorite of mine when I was...11, 12?
	12:08pm Steve from Stag!: ↳ efd @12:07 We still play it from time to time. We've long considered asking him down to play the Summer Stag Party... with us backing...
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:07 which was last year, right?
	12:08pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:07 He was one of the last shows I caught at the old City Winery before it shut down.
	12:08pm Figgsrock: HA! I wish!
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:08 8 year olds dude!
	12:09pm efd: ↳ Steve from Stag! @12:08 omg, I would seriously consider flying out if that ever happened!
	12:09pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:09 I was just about to say the same thing EFD!
	12:10pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ clarke @12:02 Nah, that was Glenn Frey.

	12:12pm slocker: credit James for catching that
	12:12pm clarke: is mcgroovey assisting in the studio?
	12:12pm slocker: ↳ OceanBeachSF @12:12 especially for a senior
	12:14pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "back to the wall (marine mix)" by "swiss navy" Tell us about Swiss Navy. Quick googling hasn't helped me. It sounds kinda like what I imagine Midge Ure would have done before Ultravox, except that I think that was a different band
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:14 howdy son! it is getting more moderate, here, in case you are up for a visit!
	12:15pm efd: cued up the wrong song, doh!
	12:15pm Hughie Considine: Doncha st__
	12:16pm clarke: they're all great!
	12:16pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:15 No plans in the predictable future, but... Someday.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:15 name that tune winner!
	12:16pm efd: ↳ clarke @12:16 true, but this was the one in my head
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:16 I was kinda ready for it. But can't complain because you are correct.
	12:17pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:15 What was it supposed to be?
	12:17pm efd: ↳ McGroovey @12:14 All I can tell you offhand is that it was produced (and song co-written) by '70s English glam-popper Barry Blue
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:16 no losers in the catalog!
	12:18pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:17 supposed to be this! There was about 3 seconds of the previous track, though
	12:18pm Figgsrock: Oh, I didn't even hear that! Nice save!
	12:19pm clarke: supposedly these 'demos' was them checking out Syncro just after the re-build. like they cut all the tunes in a couple of days.
	12:19pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:18 Also, I really cannot wait for Bill Janovitz's Cars book next year.
	12:19pm efd: boy are those songs closely tracked together!
	12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:17 Elliot Easton never wasted a note.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:19 wow, did not know - billy good writah!
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 u got THAT right! !
	12:21pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "a change in the weather" by "mayflies usa" Chapel Hill in the house! Sweet harmonies!
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Song: "a change in the weather" by "mayflies usa" they should tour more often!
	12:21pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:12 Do I do that? I didn't remember ever doing that. Not sure how much help I'd be, though.
	12:21pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:20 Yes, it was announced last summer I think? I actually helped procure some interviews from when they first started for Bill to use for it.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:21 ha ha ha, was referring to the typo.
	12:21pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "a change in the weather" by "mayflies usa" The new songs sounded great. Good afternoon, efd & all.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:21 very cool! they didn't do many interviews!!
	12:23pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:21 Typos? Moi? I should really put on my glasses
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:23 i live for McGroovey's typos!
	12:24pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:22 I should say that its a fully authorized book, so the three remaining members have sat down with Bill for the book. But the older interviews I helped obtain are with Ric and Ben.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 for sure! who didn't like to talk, either of them.
	12:25pm love2laf: Just efd? That's plenty of good music to come. Hello fellow funksters, hope your day is as beautiful as what's going on here, sunny, crisp air, all what September should be.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Song: "daddy should have stayed in high school" by "chea... ohhhh yessss!!
	12:29pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 I've already told Bill he has to come on my show when the book comes out
	12:31pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:29 absolutely!
	12:32pm clarke: keep the door barred!
	12:34pm listener 126464: I prefer the rambling and speculating.
	12:36pm egould: 1351 Main st, Brockton appears to be an office building.
	12:41pm OceanBeachSF: I would guess the Pulp stage show was rented in SF. Wasn’t particularly impressive!
	12:43pm Steve from Stag!: It's just not profitable for bands to travel with lighting rigs anymore, unless you're a megaband. Everything is LED based and computer controlled. The lighting guy carries it all in their laptop. You just adjust per venue.
	12:43pm Van: Howdy everyone!
	12:45pm efd: thanks Steve and OceanBeach!
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Steve from Stag! @12:43 i'm fairly sure that Slowdive travelled with at least some lights.
	12:50pm efd: I wouldn't really have thought twice about it if it had been a tour with stops in cities that are closer together
	12:50pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "familiar dreams" by "the gabys" Fantastic.

	1:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "pop seeds" by "the jesus & mary chain" this song was playing in the fuZZZmobile when i got dropped off on campus this morning!
	1:16pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "pop seeds" by "the jesus & mary chain" I didn't get the last Mary Chain record, but this single is tops!
	1:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "pop seeds" by "the jesus & mary chain" and for the life of me, i can't figure out how this tune didn't make the final cut for the glasgow eyes album. the notes on bandcamp indicate it was recorded during those sessions.
	1:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:16 tis a good un! tough-sounding! do you get dropped all this semester?
	1:17pm clarke: ↳ Song: "torn in two" by "beachwood sparks" good entire album!
	1:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:17 just got dropped off today cuz the redhead needed the fuZZZmobile today while i'm teaching. i hope she and tim are getting tacos!
	1:19pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:17 tacos!!!
	1:20pm love2laf: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:17 Tacos, of course they're getting tacos. The real question is how many?
	1:20pm clarke: mini!
	1:21pm prof.fuzz: ↳ love2laf @1:20 as long as there are a couple left when i get picked up around 3 this afternoon, i'm good.
	1:22pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 is your week now front-loaded? do you have stuff on fridays??
	1:24pm Giselle: Thanks for supporting awsome Toronto bands!
	1:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:22 i teach on mon and weds, and have grading, class prep, research, writing, stupid meetings, etc on the other days. friday is usually lighter though.
	1:26pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 cool. i guess?
	1:27pm clarke: art d'echo would be a funner way to spell it.
	1:27pm love2laf: Lots and lots of CanCon, thanks efd!
	1:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:26 other than teaching during chunks of my prime wfmu listening midday hours, it's ok.

	1:54pm Spikey BXL: ↳ clarke @1:53 I echoed and followed suit
	1:55pm clarke: i do believe it was re-recorded, but just imagining it sounds different from the single??
	1:58pm Gregosaurus: EFD's becoming an AM drive time extravaganza!
	1:59pm PaulRobeson1924: Dude! Yeah!
	2:04pm Mattynotimes: You just made a fan outta me! Never heard before and love it

	2:14pm tim: ↳ Song: "there's a moon in the sky (called the moon)" by "... This is one of my favorite song titles of all time. Ricky Wilson - one of the most overlooked guitar great of all time!
	2:15pm Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "there's a moon in the sky (called the moon)" by "... One of my few teenage albums Mom actually liked.
	2:16pm Hughie Considine: ↳ tim @2:14 Yes - what a unique sound he had. Ballsy but somehow subtle.

	2:46pm drr: ↳ tim @2:18 I read a really interesting thing Keith Strickland, the original drummer said about Ricky Wilson's playing. He said after RW died, they didn't think they could replace him, so Keith taught himself to play guitar like Ricky Wilson, and became the guitar player. I will try to find the source.
	2:47pm clarke: ↳ drr @2:46 that's basically true!
