	12:03pm Figgsrock: Hello EFD and all the Funksters here.
	12:03pm Figgsrock: Also, Manager has to be an awful band name to Google for info.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:03 yup! enjoyed your year-end list and we have a few in common picks!
	12:05pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:04 Cool!
	12:05pm prof.fuzz: howdy EFD!
	12:05pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:03 this is discussed briefly!
	12:05pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:05 Prof! In winter break mode?
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:05 i've pretty much finished mine, but holding off on puttting out, yet
	12:05pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	12:06pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:05 Ah, I look forward to that!
	12:06pm clarke: the prof is NOT In!!
	12:06pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @12:05 yes sir! final grades were submitted on monday, and i spent most of yesterday getting my ducks in a row for next semester.
	12:07pm clarke: quack quack!
	12:07pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:05 I felt the need to get it done because I wanted to focus on my book list the rest of this month. For the first time I've hit 52 books in 52 weeks.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:07 oh wow! that's insane (and in a good way - i can't read like i used to, apparently!)
	12:08pm efd: I have not even started my best of 2024 lists, not that anyone asked!
	12:08pm prof.fuzz: sup handy! wenzo! bradford! common! fishman! tim! michael! figgs! ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
	12:08pm efd: ↳ efd @12:08 but I have until January 8th to wrap them up!
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:08 we asked (we assumed)
	12:09pm tim: ↳ efd @12:08 efd - How is your best of 2024 lists coming along?
	12:09pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:08 Ah, taking New Year's Day off then.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:08 i used to send cassettes out with my year-end as xmas gifts; therefore, will probably output my list on xmas day'ish.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:09 damn - that is a great question!
	12:10pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:09 I was thinking of it but decided not to. But I'm not doing my Best Of that day because I feel like a lot of people won't be listening.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:10 i would have been listening, ha ha.
	12:11pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:08 Well, there was a point when the Mets were really bad so I spent more time reading in the spring. And once I saw the goal was in reach I decided to skip watching NBA games at night and try to read as much as I could.
	12:11pm tim: ↳ Song: "freda'n är här" by "the steve roper band" ooh! I dig this! What language is it in? I'm guessing Turkish or a Slavic language.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:11 kudos to you!! dang!
	12:12pm efd: ↳ tim @12:11 Swedish, I believe
	12:12pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:10 i will be listening. we're doing our annual Virtual NYE Party livestream on NYE, of course, and so that means no late night gear hauling. just lots of fuzz and snacks from casa de fuzz!
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:11 it's the Ropers maaan!
	12:13pm clarke: fuzz and snacks. happy noo yar.
	12:13pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @12:12 i learned all my swedish from some rando chef on tv
	12:13pm tim: ↳ Figgsrock @12:11 That's really great, Figgsrock! I've read 43 books so far this year. Half of those were comics though.
	12:14pm tim: ↳ efd @12:12 Thanks!
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:11 there are not many voracious readers, anymore, methinks. commendable, sir!
	12:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:13 so that's where my 21.5 comics from the fuZZZmobile went!
	12:14pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:13 Hey prof! I think I learned how to make tossed salad from that TV chef.
	12:14pm ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): Afternoon all
	12:14pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:13 I'm basing that guess mainly on the names and words on the sleeve.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:13 and that is commendable as well!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:14 leaver beware!
	12:15pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:14 Dammit, I keep showing my hand! When will I learn?
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:15 FuZZ is never here this early
	12:15pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:15 PRO TIP: wear mittens!
	12:16pm zoe: Hi I’m back
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:15 i'm doing it now! ~
	12:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:15 for the next month i should be here this early. after 1/23, i'll be in class from 11:30-2:30 on weds...
	12:17pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:15 Haha! Wait, I do have a WFMU oven mitten. I'm halfway there!
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:17 here's my reply with mittens: apgoabneroarjpg aghaprpthta tp
	12:18pm Harry Corvair: Are you ready?
	12:19pm Harry Corvair: ↳ Harry Corvair @12:18 Here we go!
	12:19pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:10 That makes sense. I will be listening as I am working that day. (We traded working 12/23 for 1/1.)
	12:20pm Scott from Boston: I typically don’t like any song that mentions the bands name in the song… which really eliminates every bit of contemporary music today
	12:20pm clarke: i have the other .5 comics.
	12:20pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" I think of this song a lot when I wake up in the middle of the night...and catch the last 5 minutes of Mannix on METV.
	12:21pm Andres: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" YES!!!!!!! And good afternoon, efd and all!
	12:21pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:20 ha!
	12:21pm eastvanhalen: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" It's 9:20 am in Vancouver and I am living room dancing, so far so good
	12:21pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" I'm always amazed that the same people behind Teardrop Explodes and Lori and the Chameleons did this. Nutty!
	12:22pm efd: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 we will have to agree to disagree on this subject!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:20 is it sampled from that??
	12:22pm tim: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" Is KLF the band that burned a million British pounds?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:22 i don't want to hear the answer to that question.
	12:23pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:22 No, not at all. It's just that I wake up at 3am (or a little earlier) a whole lot. And Mannix (which EFD and I both enjoy) is on at that time.
	12:23pm tim: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 Even 'Bad Company' by Bad Company?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:23 oh i love mannix, and also am awake often at 3am.
	12:23pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and chatkateers. Have always had a soft spot for the Welsh and their cultural pride.
	12:24pm Sean: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 What about Prince?
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:23 hey, what was the name of the firm that mannix quits in the first episode? Investigation Corporation?? something like that
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:23 capt!! welcome aboard!
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 well damn...
	12:25pm A2B: Good Afternoon EFD & brother funkers! FYI, WPIX used "The Riviera Affair" as the theme to their Saturday and Sunday afternoon movie showcases, long before they became a WB affiliate.
	12:26pm clarke: what about pointed sticks?!?
	12:26pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Song: "baby, oh no" by "bow wow wow" Anyone else see Bow Wow Wow at Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ in the 80's?
	12:26pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oof I almost forgot today is Wednesday!
	12:26pm tim: ↳ clarke @12:23 Who ever did that sure made it look real. It was in the mid 90s so a little harder fake. But it could be smoke and mirrors just the same.
	12:26pm efd: ↳ A2B @12:25 excellent trivia!
	12:26pm Jack McGuire: Speaking of Mannix, the Network 77 creation of a fictional Quinn Martin produced detective show "Humphreys and McLuskey" with a picture of OMD is really next level excellence.
	12:27pm tim: ↳ Song: "baby, oh no" by "bow wow wow" Bow Wow Wow's records hold up very well these days.
	12:27pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:24 It was Intertect--and they got rid of that at the end of the first season!
	12:27pm BOB: ↳ Beast of Boonton @12:26 That would have been a great adventure
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:26 sadly, i watched the replacements light cigars with hundred dollar bills once. i was so disgusted i left the dressing room. you got a starving band opening for you...
	12:28pm A2B: ↳ efd @12:26 Tha's how I recognized it. It triggers nostalgia vibes in me.
	12:28pm Carmichael: ↳ tim @12:23 Or Head East by Head East? From the LP Head East?
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:28 is that on the Head East label?
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Shoot, I have a training on Jan. 8!
	12:29pm Andres: Somewhere Bono is shedding a tear.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:29 finally getting potty trained!! good on you, hh
	12:30pm tadpoles: ↳ Beast of Boonton @12:26 Did see them at Studio 54 of all places...Sept '81....still have the 7" promo record they gave away. Great guitarist. Cheers
	12:30pm Gaston: A gentle reminder that Christmas Day 2024 is also the first day of Chanukah.
	12:30pm tim: ↳ clarke @12:28 Ooof. Yeah, that would be a hard sight to see. Smash an expensive wine bottle instead or something.
	12:30pm Carmichael: ↳ Andres @12:29 Bono sheds a tear as part of his morning ritual, followed by passing gas. Then his day begins.
	12:30pm wenzo: Whaaaaat… that’s crazy!
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @12:23 From the People's Champ: www.wfmu.org... www.wfmu.org...
	12:31pm clarke: @EFD - there is an oft-chat person who was blue-man associated. he is not here, right now, tho.
	12:31pm Savage in Brooklyn: I worked for Blue Man for 12 years until Covid. Great job. I thought that show would run forever - but what a good run.
	12:31pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:29 Ya know, I was gonna say that, but I wasn't feeling positive about it.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:30 i'm friends with those guys, but damn that burned me up.
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: With "Stomp" gone and now "Blue Man Group," you could say it's the end of an era.
	12:33pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @12:28 Exactly! This is from a different Head East record but Never Been Any Reason is my jam!
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:31 THERE HE'S GOES!! i just outed you, savage!
	12:33pm florida: yes , channel 11 in NY
	12:34pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:33 that's the only head east song i could mumble my way through, but it's a good one!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: Maybe Roper Band was a pun on "rubberband"?
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 and The Steve Roper Band is now gone, too.
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:34 We'll not see their likes again...
	12:35pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:31 I love those shows!
	12:35pm Savage in Brooklyn: I'm seeing the very last show in February. Should be a blast. I expect that anything could happen! Old music, on-stage shenanigans. It's gonna be a party, no doubt.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:34 or the rope they moved!
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:35 are they doing shows until feb?
	12:36pm tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 Hahaha!
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "i can almost see the light" by "tim moore" And if you'll see Tim Moore again Then you will know Tim Moore again For you can see you in her eyes
	12:36pm northguineahills: Here listening but I want to show my love to my friends and edd.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 arthur balks.
	12:37pm Spikey BXL: Good day, Mr Funk Davies, fellow funkees
	12:37pm clarke: ngh - whats up?
	12:37pm tim: Oh, Manager is playing live on the show! Silly me, I thought efd had a manger and nativity scene in the studio.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:37 kids did this!
	12:38pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @12:36 howdy NGH!
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @12:37 It's still illegal to have a live donkey in a radio station in New Jersey. These crazy old laws need to be taken off the books before anyone else gets hurt!
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:38 (Diner ref)
	12:39pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 only if the ass is wearing pants
	12:39pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:35 I saw them at the Astor and they did the "optical camera down the throat" routine on me - about 10-yrs ago
	12:39pm clarke: pants-less wednesdays!!
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:39 "Do you ever get the feeling that there's something going on that we don't know about?"
	12:40pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "smudge the sky" by "freaky wilderness" "smude" the sky?
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 what the fuck are you talking about?
	12:40pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 Ah! So that explains why Ken hasn't had a Donkey Basketball game fundraiser during the Marathon.
	12:40pm efd: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:35 awesome! You'll have to report back after that show!
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:40 savage is a better drummer than any on the blue-man stage!
	12:41pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:40 heh, whoops!
	12:42pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @12:41 no-charge editing. i'm on winter break!
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 Is that a line from "Diner"?
	12:42pm tim: I think Fred Armisen spent some time in Blue Man Group between Trenchmouth and SNL.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:42 You'll smude it and you'll like smuding it, you!
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:42 ha ha yes, it is the reply to the line you dropped.
	12:43pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:43 Hey Smude
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:42 i believe steve guttenberg says that.
	12:44pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Spikey BXL @12:43 nah nah nah nah-nah-nah-nah....
	12:44pm egould: ↳ Song: "western ave." by "dyan diamond" Western Ave. could get a little rowdy. But if you wanted to smoke crack with tranny hookers, you really had to go to Santa Monica Blvd. and N Orange Dr.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "damaged goods" by "movie movie" like this album a whole lot!
	12:45pm eastvanhalen: ↳ clarke @12:26 I'm losing the thread and I can't tell if we've moved to Monty Python weaponry or Vancouver power pop bands but if it's the latter they are my comrades and I love them
	12:45pm tim: ↳ Song: "damaged goods" by "movie movie" This is some good listening.
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:44 I dunno. It's when Fenwick and Boogie talk to the woman on horseback. She canters away and Fenwick says that. Guttenberg was not in the scene unless he played the horse.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ eastvanhalen @12:45 it was a python'ism, but hey..
	12:46pm Savage in Brooklyn: Shows till February in NYC, early Jan in Chicago. The others shows are selling well so will live on for a bit.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 what fuckin' chisholm trail??
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:46 i know rourke sez that one.
	12:47pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:46 Jane Chisholm. Now there was a gal...
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 indeed.
	12:48pm clarke: the art of carbon-dating.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:46 cool. is Dyas still involved w/them?
	12:50pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:47 All I know is, tonight is Bonanza night.
	12:50pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "zen & the art of dating" by "the the" I totally forgot about this album. Putting it on my winter break listening list!
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "zen & the art of dating" by "the the" Caught The The at Symphony Space in the late '80s and it was a fine fine thing (thing).
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:50 you have a lump on YOUR head!!
	12:51pm RustyinBaltimore: Every time I hear some really cool shit I haven’t heard before it’s The The
	12:51pm Savage in Brooklyn: Dyas has been out for years but does some music for Wink World, which one of the original BM started out in Vegas.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:51 ah, nice! my regards!
	12:52pm Savage in Brooklyn: I'm not huge on flashy drumming, but this is the drum captain from Vegas and he is an absolute monster. Wild, wild drummer. https://youtu.be/1jLVTvZnpKk?si=Qoj7q5ebuzfVf-hs
	12:53pm Savage in Brooklyn: And now I will stop hijacking this chat with Blue Man stuff!
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "off" by "some sunny day" They couldn't change their name to Sunny Sunny just for this set?
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:52 i am totally NOT into flashy drumming.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:53 hey, i asked!
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:53 figured you were listening.
	12:55pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:53 strong Shia opposition
	12:55pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:50 A 50 year old man with 3 forty eight year old sons?
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:55 ha ha ha.
	12:56pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "off" by "some sunny day" Wow, I clicky starred this sing just last month!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Felice! Excellent!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Wanted to go to this release party but just couldn't get it together.
	12:59pm morphe': ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Record Release Monday => Bowery Electric ... I'll get the details..
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 once you get trained....

	1:00pm morphe': ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Wanted to go to this release party but just couldn't get it together OCCCHHH was last Mon ...
	1:00pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 I hadn't heard this before. The bio in Bandcamp made this even more intriguing.
	1:01pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:00 He needs the details to program the DeLorean
	1:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:01 There's always a Flux Capacitor gig!
	1:02pm tim: Holy crap! What is the son of Peter Perrett's band?
	1:04pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "off" by "some sunny day" Confirm this is on Spotify
	1:05pm clarke: Mgr!!!!
	1:06pm clarke: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... good sound!
	1:06pm Spikey BXL: Sausage fingers, I want to speak to the MAMAger
	1:06pm efd: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:04 thanks Spikey!
	1:07pm efd: ↳ clarke @1:06 we are blessed with top shelf engineers who do our sessions for free!
	1:07pm slocker: Thanks Ma'am
	1:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... Real nice mix. Well done, Tom!
	1:07pm slocker: Yeah sounds excellent
	1:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "spy balloon" by "manager" i've said this before, but the verses bear a resemblance to the Church song Almost With You.
	1:08pm Carmichael: Definite Echo/Bunnymen vibe for me.
	1:08pm morphe': ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Back story on FAITH/Felice... www.faithnyc.net...
	1:09pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @1:08 ah, justifying their mention in the blurb I wrote up!
	1:11pm tim: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... Wow! Sounding great, efd!
	1:13pm clarke: shasta!! root beers!
	1:13pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "shasta" by "manager" i really dig this tune
	1:13pm efd: ↳ Song: "shasta" by "manager" still mad that this song somehow slipped by me on their new EP, it's great!
	1:13pm efd: ↳ efd @1:13 (mad at myself, to be clear)
	1:13pm Spikey BXL: efd - typo in band name for the first live track ;)
	1:14pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:13 funny my old manager had a boston terrier named Shasta (RIP both of them).
	1:14pm efd: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:13 oh THAT's what you were talking about!
	1:15pm Spikey BXL: ↳ efd @1:14 it was perfectly clear in my mind
	1:15pm Handy Haversack: You can't spell Manager without Man Ager!
	1:16pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... Cranking this up in the car while out buying secret gifts -- Sounds excellent! Thumbs up to the band and Tom Unish.
	1:16pm Andres: ↳ Song: "shasta" by "manager" Oh man. All promotional offers should be this good!
	1:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:15 you can't demand to speak to a manager without a karen?
	1:16pm clarke: secret gifts!
	1:17pm efd: ↳ Mike Sin @1:16 hi Mike! Happy shopping!
	1:18pm prof.fuzz: t'is the season for secret santanas!
	1:19pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:18 what is Santa Tuttle bringing you this year??
	1:20pm tim: ↳ Song: "lady pizza" by "manager" I'm picking up on a theme here.
	1:20pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:19 parts for my new guitar build no pedals this year. maybe for my birthday?
	1:21pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:20 Clari(Pirate)!
	1:21pm prof.fuzz: just visited manager's bandcamp. i'm sensing a theme across their cover art (and a theme that rings a bell or two with us!).
	1:22pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:21 more likely a custom repeat percussion type tremolo.
	1:23pm morphe': ↳ clarke @1:19 Santa Tuttle = possibly ok??? Beware of gifts from: Archibald “Harry” Tuttle
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 I thought there were definite fuzzian echoes in "Shasta" especially.
	1:24pm clarke: ↳ morphe' @1:23 ha ha ha, i will.
	1:24pm prof.fuzz: ↳ morphe' @1:23 santa tuttle = doug tuttle from mid-fi electronics and dougtuttle.bandcamp.com
	1:24pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:22 hmm.. my buddy, tommy makes a percussion-repeat pedal.. will send you info
	1:25pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:24 I was thinking it was that Tuttle!
	1:25pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 A-ha! I see it too. Maybe there should be a Manager prof.fuzz63 double bill. Manager can sing through the fuZZZmic and prof can sing through their banana mic.
	1:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:25 a boston-area guy, now living in RI one of the most creative pedal builders i know.
	1:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @1:25 maybe EFD can hook us up next summer when we're back in the NYC area...
	1:27pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 I saw his band Mmoss at Mercury Lounge maybe 15-ish years ago and might have scared him when I rushed over after the set to see if they might be able to come out and record a session at the station the next day. (They could not)
	1:29pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:27 ha!
	1:29pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:26 That would be very cool!
	1:30pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:26 this seems eminently do-able
	1:30pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 i did not know he'd moved to RI?? wow.
	1:30pm Will thee SG OCNY: Tom Unish is doing a great job with the sound! Thank you Manager, efd, and Tom Unish!
	1:31pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:30 i'll have my people get in touch with your people so they can get in touch with their people...
	1:33pm tim: That's a lot of people touching!
	1:33pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:31 good plan!
	1:33pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @1:30 Always stunned by the quality of the audio. A certain secret Xmas shopper has done this too, and just as well. Kudos to the sound guys making great bands sound like they should!
	1:33pm efd: ↳ tim @1:33 I'm a people person!
	1:34pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @1:33 it's ok if it's consensual
	1:34pm tim: ↳ efd @1:33 Haha!
	1:35pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:33 the live room at studio b records really well, especially for a small space. good engineers make it happen!
	1:35pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "dirty white coat" by "manager" ⭐🔊🔊🥰❤
	1:41pm clarke: enjoyed that set immensely!!
	1:41pm tim: Great set Manager! Thanks efd and Tom.
	1:42pm clarke: hot tip!
	1:43pm Roberto: Is this the day we get to hear Hanson or is that next week?
	1:43pm Handy Haversack: Well done, all!
	1:43pm prof.fuzz: excellent set!
	1:44pm clarke: you heard me!
	1:44pm clarke: i need to speak to the assistant manager!!!
	1:44pm efd: ↳ Roberto @1:43 NEXT WEEK!
	1:46pm Roberto: ↳ efd @1:44 Reason enough to live for another week!
	1:46pm Jack McGuire: Hoping the new Swansea Sound Xmas single gets a spin next week!
	1:47pm tim: Would Assistant have to open for Manager each show? Based on most corporate orgnaizational charts I've studied it shows the Assistant below the Manager.
	1:49pm efd: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:46 that is a reasonable expectation!
	1:50pm Jack McGuire: ↳ efd @1:49 El fantastico!
	1:50pm efd: ↳ tim @1:47 yes, I think Assistant would need to be the opener!
	1:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:50 If this metaphor got fully extended, Manager would hire a bunch of other acts called Manager to all heap more set time on Assistant without Assistant getting a larger share of the gate.
	1:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "jangleland" by "dom mariani" is bueno!
	1:52pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 and/or Manager would come out during Assistant's last song and tell them they needed to play for another hour with no explanation.
	1:53pm tim: ↳ efd @1:52 And address Assistant with the wrong name.
	1:54pm clarke: ↳ Song: "jangleland" by "dom mariani" quite a few byrds refs in lyrics, as well as music
	1:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:52 Now I'm just depressed. Thankfully, the REAL Manager seem like very nice people who would never do this! Metaphors are dangerous!
	1:54pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 I think you missed your calling as Rock'n'Roll Consultant, Handy!
	1:55pm Spikey BXL: Intern has to start playing even before doors open. No access to backstage or catering.
	1:55pm tim: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:55 Ha!
	1:58pm efd: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:55 maybe I can get my friends' early 2000s bands The Consultants to reunite for this!
	1:58pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:52 and get yelled at by the karens every night
	1:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:58 They could make twice as much as any other band and not have to actually play!
	1:58pm Spikey BXL: ↳ efd @1:58 you'll be paying through the nose
	1:58pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "play that fast thing (one more time)" by "rockpile" Bullet-proof reckit stem ta stern.
	1:59pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "play that fast thing (one more time)" by "rockpile" One of the best one album bands of all time?
	2:00pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @1:59 i consider most of their solo projects to be the same band, tho.
	2:01pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @1:59 I'm not sure I can ignore the fact that the same band is on the Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds albums of that era as well, though!
	2:02pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:01 uncle michael would shame us for these beliefs.
	2:02pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:01 Totally understandable!
	2:03pm Figgsrock: A KK!?! Dammit, I just used my work gift card to order some reissues.
	2:04pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:03 WoooooT!!
	2:05pm clarke: KK
	2:06pm clarke: all good fun, what?!?
	2:09pm prof.fuzz: so many great tunes on this comp! cavernsofgold.bandcamp.com...
	2:10pm Joe B: great show efd! manager sounded excellent!
	2:10pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @2:10 hello joe!
	2:11pm Sunny: Allessi Brothers
	2:11pm efd: ↳ Joe B @2:10 hey Joe, thanks!
	2:11pm Matt Alston: Thanks for playing this record. Those folks in Western NC got wiped out. We’ve (Beat Up) got a song on there too. Great stuff on this one.
	2:11pm clarke: ↳ Sunny @2:11 thank you was racking my brain
	2:12pm efd: ↳ Sunny @2:11 well-spotted!
	2:12pm clarke: wracking so much i forgot the W
	2:13pm efd: ↳ Matt Alston @2:11 hey Matt! Hope you caught that I played a Beat Up song a few weeks ago.
	2:14pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "l'hippie nationale" by "the neutrons" Ooh, a Komp not even out yet!
	2:15pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:14 maybe you'll get some more credits by the time it comes out!
	2:15pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "l'hippie nationale" by "the neutrons" Wow, everything I love in a tune: flute, 7sus chords, flat 7ths, jangly playing, twin leads ...
	2:15pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:15 and succinctness!
	2:16pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @2:15 Wait, the Grapefruit/Cherry Red site says it's out already.
	2:16pm clarke: dohhh!
	2:17pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:16 oh yeah! I mixed it up with another one that's not out yet!
	2:17pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:16 let's face it, you are going to give your life's blood to Cherry Red eventually, anyway.
	2:19pm clarke: ↳ clarke @2:17 maybe they'll let you start a tab?
	2:20pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @2:17 Not yet at least. I do have a about 8 of their comps on my Discogs and/or Amazon wish lists. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
	2:21pm clarke: i love komps, too!
	2:22pm Matt Alston: Thank You so much. Do you remember which song? This will put a smile on bandmates faces. And as usual, thank you for a great show. My crew and I tune in every Wednesday.
	2:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "keep on walking" by "the steppers" This is not the Atlanta I experienced in the seventies.
	2:23pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:22 was about to ask! i actually have heard this tune, before, so i think it must have been a local nola radio hit??
	2:23pm efd: ↳ Song: "bewitched" by "white town" this is the comp that's coming out next month
	2:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:23 Well, keep in mind that when the seventies ended, I was six.
	2:24pm clarke: what does c92 mean??
	2:24pm egould: ↳ Song: "bewitched" by "white town" This is on Cherry Red? Wow! What a different sound for the label. ;-)
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:24 i went to soccer camp at clemson - somehow WFOX came in loud and clear on that campus.. mid-70's
	2:25pm egould: ↳ clarke @2:24 Cassette 1992. An annual cassette compilation included in NME.
	2:25pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:24 it's the latest in the series playing of the original NME C86 cassette
	2:25pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:24 Oooooohhh .... For reference, I was 23 ...
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ egould @2:25 thanks. asking for a friend!
	2:26pm hifivicky: terrific show!! I keep getting snagged on bands, and I wander off to Google them or find their BC. you should know you've put 3 records into the cart so far... thanks 💙 😊
	2:26pm efd: ↳ Matt Alston @2:22 except for Nov. 20, apparently! :) (it was "No Great Progress")
	2:26pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:25 i was wondering that. a bit slowly.
	2:27pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:25 still a kid!
	2:28pm efd: ↳ hifivicky @2:26 ha, happy to hear that!
	2:29pm clarke: is cut me deep american, brit, or both??
	2:30pm Handy Haversack: Will the world still make kompilations in 2025? Who knows what the future holds!
	2:31pm clarke: ask the owl.
	2:31pm egould: Just got my copy of 'Postcards from Scotland' yesterday.
	2:34pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @2:31 1-2-3 <crunch>!!!
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz63 is on that Caverns of Gold komp.
	2:35pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:34 THRRRREEEE!
	2:35pm OnTheTrain: @EFD ha I see Bobby Alessi all the time in town. It was years before he told me how he and his brother made the Diet Coke Ads from the 1980's .
	2:36pm Enflod: ↳ Song: "rob a bank" by "benny profane" One of my favorite band origin stories is when Don Fagenson was so poor he called his buddy David Weiss and announced he was going to rob a bank and David was like, don't do that, let's start a band instead. Thus Was (Not Was) was born
	2:36pm clarke: ↳ OnTheTrain @2:35 what town?
	2:37pm OnTheTrain: ↳ clarke @2:36 Port Washington, he lives somewhere on the Suffolk / Nassau border.
	2:37pm clarke: oh my!! this is a fucking Tuuune!!! love the snare, too!!

	2:40pm clarke: or maybe glasgow
	2:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:40 Not a crying city, Glasgow.
	2:41pm egould: ↳ clarke @2:40 Metarie, actually.
	2:41pm OnTheTrain: ↳ clarke @2:38 He is very nice guy . You would never know he was in a band after high school.
	2:41pm clarke: ↳ egould @2:41 ha ha, no waaaayyyy braaa!
	2:42pm clarke: ↳ OnTheTrain @2:41 very cool!
	2:42pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:34 as I mentioned before the set!

	2:43pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @2:42 i heard it on the radio!
	2:43pm egould: ↳ Song: "laurel canyon" by "20/20" Nice jangly power pop here.
	2:44pm clarke: ↳ egould @2:43 they were pretty versatile.
	2:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @2:42 I had to be in a meeting! Mic breaks hard to hear ... But I should have expected as much!
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:44 so, it wasn't just us that had a meeting with manager
	2:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:45 SRSLY

	12:05pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:04 Cool!
	12:05pm prof.fuzz: howdy EFD!
	12:05pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:03 this is discussed briefly!
	12:05pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:05 Prof! In winter break mode?
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:05 i've pretty much finished mine, but holding off on puttting out, yet
	12:05pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	12:06pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:05 Ah, I look forward to that!
	12:06pm clarke: the prof is NOT In!!
	12:06pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @12:05 yes sir! final grades were submitted on monday, and i spent most of yesterday getting my ducks in a row for next semester.
	12:07pm clarke: quack quack!
	12:07pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:05 I felt the need to get it done because I wanted to focus on my book list the rest of this month. For the first time I've hit 52 books in 52 weeks.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:07 oh wow! that's insane (and in a good way - i can't read like i used to, apparently!)
	12:08pm efd: I have not even started my best of 2024 lists, not that anyone asked!
	12:08pm prof.fuzz: sup handy! wenzo! bradford! common! fishman! tim! michael! figgs! ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
	12:08pm efd: ↳ efd @12:08 but I have until January 8th to wrap them up!
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:08 we asked (we assumed)
	12:09pm tim: ↳ efd @12:08 efd - How is your best of 2024 lists coming along?
	12:09pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:08 Ah, taking New Year's Day off then.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:08 i used to send cassettes out with my year-end as xmas gifts; therefore, will probably output my list on xmas day'ish.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:09 damn - that is a great question!
	12:10pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:09 I was thinking of it but decided not to. But I'm not doing my Best Of that day because I feel like a lot of people won't be listening.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:10 i would have been listening, ha ha.
	12:11pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:08 Well, there was a point when the Mets were really bad so I spent more time reading in the spring. And once I saw the goal was in reach I decided to skip watching NBA games at night and try to read as much as I could.
	12:11pm tim: ↳ Song: "freda'n är här" by "the steve roper band" ooh! I dig this! What language is it in? I'm guessing Turkish or a Slavic language.
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:11 kudos to you!! dang!
	12:12pm efd: ↳ tim @12:11 Swedish, I believe
	12:12pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:10 i will be listening. we're doing our annual Virtual NYE Party livestream on NYE, of course, and so that means no late night gear hauling. just lots of fuzz and snacks from casa de fuzz!
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:11 it's the Ropers maaan!
	12:13pm clarke: fuzz and snacks. happy noo yar.
	12:13pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @12:12 i learned all my swedish from some rando chef on tv
	12:13pm tim: ↳ Figgsrock @12:11 That's really great, Figgsrock! I've read 43 books so far this year. Half of those were comics though.
	12:14pm tim: ↳ efd @12:12 Thanks!
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:11 there are not many voracious readers, anymore, methinks. commendable, sir!
	12:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:13 so that's where my 21.5 comics from the fuZZZmobile went!
	12:14pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:13 Hey prof! I think I learned how to make tossed salad from that TV chef.
	12:14pm ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): Afternoon all
	12:14pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:13 I'm basing that guess mainly on the names and words on the sleeve.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:13 and that is commendable as well!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:14 leaver beware!
	12:15pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:14 Dammit, I keep showing my hand! When will I learn?
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:15 FuZZ is never here this early
	12:15pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:15 PRO TIP: wear mittens!
	12:16pm zoe: Hi I’m back
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:15 i'm doing it now! ~
	12:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:15 for the next month i should be here this early. after 1/23, i'll be in class from 11:30-2:30 on weds...
	12:17pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:15 Haha! Wait, I do have a WFMU oven mitten. I'm halfway there!
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:17 here's my reply with mittens: apgoabneroarjpg aghaprpthta tp
	12:18pm Harry Corvair: Are you ready?
	12:19pm Harry Corvair: ↳ Harry Corvair @12:18 Here we go!
	12:19pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:10 That makes sense. I will be listening as I am working that day. (We traded working 12/23 for 1/1.)
	12:20pm Scott from Boston: I typically don’t like any song that mentions the bands name in the song… which really eliminates every bit of contemporary music today
	12:20pm clarke: i have the other .5 comics.
	12:20pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" I think of this song a lot when I wake up in the middle of the night...and catch the last 5 minutes of Mannix on METV.
	12:21pm Andres: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" YES!!!!!!! And good afternoon, efd and all!
	12:21pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:20 ha!
	12:21pm eastvanhalen: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" It's 9:20 am in Vancouver and I am living room dancing, so far so good
	12:21pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" I'm always amazed that the same people behind Teardrop Explodes and Lori and the Chameleons did this. Nutty!
	12:22pm efd: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 we will have to agree to disagree on this subject!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:20 is it sampled from that??
	12:22pm tim: ↳ Song: "3 a.m. eternal" by "the klf" Is KLF the band that burned a million British pounds?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:22 i don't want to hear the answer to that question.
	12:23pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:22 No, not at all. It's just that I wake up at 3am (or a little earlier) a whole lot. And Mannix (which EFD and I both enjoy) is on at that time.
	12:23pm tim: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 Even 'Bad Company' by Bad Company?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:23 oh i love mannix, and also am awake often at 3am.
	12:23pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and chatkateers. Have always had a soft spot for the Welsh and their cultural pride.
	12:24pm Sean: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 What about Prince?
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:23 hey, what was the name of the firm that mannix quits in the first episode? Investigation Corporation?? something like that
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:23 capt!! welcome aboard!
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Scott from Boston @12:20 well damn...
	12:25pm A2B: Good Afternoon EFD & brother funkers! FYI, WPIX used "The Riviera Affair" as the theme to their Saturday and Sunday afternoon movie showcases, long before they became a WB affiliate.
	12:26pm clarke: what about pointed sticks?!?
	12:26pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Song: "baby, oh no" by "bow wow wow" Anyone else see Bow Wow Wow at Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ in the 80's?
	12:26pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oof I almost forgot today is Wednesday!
	12:26pm tim: ↳ clarke @12:23 Who ever did that sure made it look real. It was in the mid 90s so a little harder fake. But it could be smoke and mirrors just the same.
	12:26pm efd: ↳ A2B @12:25 excellent trivia!
	12:26pm Jack McGuire: Speaking of Mannix, the Network 77 creation of a fictional Quinn Martin produced detective show "Humphreys and McLuskey" with a picture of OMD is really next level excellence.
	12:27pm tim: ↳ Song: "baby, oh no" by "bow wow wow" Bow Wow Wow's records hold up very well these days.
	12:27pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:24 It was Intertect--and they got rid of that at the end of the first season!
	12:27pm BOB: ↳ Beast of Boonton @12:26 That would have been a great adventure
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:26 sadly, i watched the replacements light cigars with hundred dollar bills once. i was so disgusted i left the dressing room. you got a starving band opening for you...
	12:28pm A2B: ↳ efd @12:26 Tha's how I recognized it. It triggers nostalgia vibes in me.
	12:28pm Carmichael: ↳ tim @12:23 Or Head East by Head East? From the LP Head East?
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:28 is that on the Head East label?
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Shoot, I have a training on Jan. 8!
	12:29pm Andres: Somewhere Bono is shedding a tear.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:29 finally getting potty trained!! good on you, hh
	12:30pm tadpoles: ↳ Beast of Boonton @12:26 Did see them at Studio 54 of all places...Sept '81....still have the 7" promo record they gave away. Great guitarist. Cheers
	12:30pm Gaston: A gentle reminder that Christmas Day 2024 is also the first day of Chanukah.
	12:30pm tim: ↳ clarke @12:28 Ooof. Yeah, that would be a hard sight to see. Smash an expensive wine bottle instead or something.
	12:30pm Carmichael: ↳ Andres @12:29 Bono sheds a tear as part of his morning ritual, followed by passing gas. Then his day begins.
	12:30pm wenzo: Whaaaaat… that’s crazy!
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @12:23 From the People's Champ: www.wfmu.org... www.wfmu.org...
	12:31pm clarke: @EFD - there is an oft-chat person who was blue-man associated. he is not here, right now, tho.
	12:31pm Savage in Brooklyn: I worked for Blue Man for 12 years until Covid. Great job. I thought that show would run forever - but what a good run.
	12:31pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:29 Ya know, I was gonna say that, but I wasn't feeling positive about it.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:30 i'm friends with those guys, but damn that burned me up.
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: With "Stomp" gone and now "Blue Man Group," you could say it's the end of an era.
	12:33pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @12:28 Exactly! This is from a different Head East record but Never Been Any Reason is my jam!
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:31 THERE HE'S GOES!! i just outed you, savage!
	12:33pm florida: yes , channel 11 in NY
	12:34pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:33 that's the only head east song i could mumble my way through, but it's a good one!
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: Maybe Roper Band was a pun on "rubberband"?
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 and The Steve Roper Band is now gone, too.
	12:34pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:34 We'll not see their likes again...
	12:35pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:31 I love those shows!
	12:35pm Savage in Brooklyn: I'm seeing the very last show in February. Should be a blast. I expect that anything could happen! Old music, on-stage shenanigans. It's gonna be a party, no doubt.
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:34 or the rope they moved!
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:35 are they doing shows until feb?
	12:36pm tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 Hahaha!
	12:36pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "i can almost see the light" by "tim moore" And if you'll see Tim Moore again Then you will know Tim Moore again For you can see you in her eyes
	12:36pm northguineahills: Here listening but I want to show my love to my friends and edd.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:36 arthur balks.
	12:37pm Spikey BXL: Good day, Mr Funk Davies, fellow funkees
	12:37pm clarke: ngh - whats up?
	12:37pm tim: Oh, Manager is playing live on the show! Silly me, I thought efd had a manger and nativity scene in the studio.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:37 kids did this!
	12:38pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @12:36 howdy NGH!
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @12:37 It's still illegal to have a live donkey in a radio station in New Jersey. These crazy old laws need to be taken off the books before anyone else gets hurt!
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:38 (Diner ref)
	12:39pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 only if the ass is wearing pants
	12:39pm Beast of Boonton: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:35 I saw them at the Astor and they did the "optical camera down the throat" routine on me - about 10-yrs ago
	12:39pm clarke: pants-less wednesdays!!
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:39 "Do you ever get the feeling that there's something going on that we don't know about?"
	12:40pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "smudge the sky" by "freaky wilderness" "smude" the sky?
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 what the fuck are you talking about?
	12:40pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:39 Ah! So that explains why Ken hasn't had a Donkey Basketball game fundraiser during the Marathon.
	12:40pm efd: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:35 awesome! You'll have to report back after that show!
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:40 savage is a better drummer than any on the blue-man stage!
	12:41pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:40 heh, whoops!
	12:42pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @12:41 no-charge editing. i'm on winter break!
	12:42pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:40 Is that a line from "Diner"?
	12:42pm tim: I think Fred Armisen spent some time in Blue Man Group between Trenchmouth and SNL.
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:42 You'll smude it and you'll like smuding it, you!
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:42 ha ha yes, it is the reply to the line you dropped.
	12:43pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:43 Hey Smude
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:42 i believe steve guttenberg says that.
	12:44pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Spikey BXL @12:43 nah nah nah nah-nah-nah-nah....
	12:44pm egould: ↳ Song: "western ave." by "dyan diamond" Western Ave. could get a little rowdy. But if you wanted to smoke crack with tranny hookers, you really had to go to Santa Monica Blvd. and N Orange Dr.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "damaged goods" by "movie movie" like this album a whole lot!
	12:45pm eastvanhalen: ↳ clarke @12:26 I'm losing the thread and I can't tell if we've moved to Monty Python weaponry or Vancouver power pop bands but if it's the latter they are my comrades and I love them
	12:45pm tim: ↳ Song: "damaged goods" by "movie movie" This is some good listening.
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:44 I dunno. It's when Fenwick and Boogie talk to the woman on horseback. She canters away and Fenwick says that. Guttenberg was not in the scene unless he played the horse.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ eastvanhalen @12:45 it was a python'ism, but hey..
	12:46pm Savage in Brooklyn: Shows till February in NYC, early Jan in Chicago. The others shows are selling well so will live on for a bit.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 what fuckin' chisholm trail??
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:46 i know rourke sez that one.
	12:47pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:46 Jane Chisholm. Now there was a gal...
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:47 indeed.
	12:48pm clarke: the art of carbon-dating.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:46 cool. is Dyas still involved w/them?
	12:50pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:47 All I know is, tonight is Bonanza night.
	12:50pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "zen & the art of dating" by "the the" I totally forgot about this album. Putting it on my winter break listening list!
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "zen & the art of dating" by "the the" Caught The The at Symphony Space in the late '80s and it was a fine fine thing (thing).
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:50 you have a lump on YOUR head!!
	12:51pm RustyinBaltimore: Every time I hear some really cool shit I haven’t heard before it’s The The
	12:51pm Savage in Brooklyn: Dyas has been out for years but does some music for Wink World, which one of the original BM started out in Vegas.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:51 ah, nice! my regards!
	12:52pm Savage in Brooklyn: I'm not huge on flashy drumming, but this is the drum captain from Vegas and he is an absolute monster. Wild, wild drummer. https://youtu.be/1jLVTvZnpKk?si=Qoj7q5ebuzfVf-hs
	12:53pm Savage in Brooklyn: And now I will stop hijacking this chat with Blue Man stuff!
	12:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "off" by "some sunny day" They couldn't change their name to Sunny Sunny just for this set?
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:52 i am totally NOT into flashy drumming.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:53 hey, i asked!
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Savage in Brooklyn @12:53 figured you were listening.
	12:55pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:53 strong Shia opposition
	12:55pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:50 A 50 year old man with 3 forty eight year old sons?
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:55 ha ha ha.
	12:56pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "off" by "some sunny day" Wow, I clicky starred this sing just last month!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Felice! Excellent!
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Wanted to go to this release party but just couldn't get it together.
	12:59pm morphe': ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Record Release Monday => Bowery Electric ... I'll get the details..
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 once you get trained....
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ morphe' @12:59 It was this past Monday, morph.
	1:00pm morphe': ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Wanted to go to this release party but just couldn't get it together OCCCHHH was last Mon ...
	1:00pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:58 I hadn't heard this before. The bio in Bandcamp made this even more intriguing.
	1:01pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:00 He needs the details to program the DeLorean
	1:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:01 There's always a Flux Capacitor gig!
	1:02pm tim: Holy crap! What is the son of Peter Perrett's band?
	1:04pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "off" by "some sunny day" Confirm this is on Spotify
	1:05pm clarke: Mgr!!!!
	1:06pm clarke: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... good sound!
	1:06pm Spikey BXL: Sausage fingers, I want to speak to the MAMAger
	1:06pm efd: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:04 thanks Spikey!
	1:07pm efd: ↳ clarke @1:06 we are blessed with top shelf engineers who do our sessions for free!
	1:07pm slocker: Thanks Ma'am
	1:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... Real nice mix. Well done, Tom!
	1:07pm slocker: Yeah sounds excellent
	1:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "spy balloon" by "manager" i've said this before, but the verses bear a resemblance to the Church song Almost With You.
	1:08pm Carmichael: Definite Echo/Bunnymen vibe for me.
	1:08pm morphe': ↳ Song: "overpass" by "faithnyc" Back story on FAITH/Felice... www.faithnyc.net...
	1:09pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @1:08 ah, justifying their mention in the blurb I wrote up!
	1:11pm tim: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... Wow! Sounding great, efd!
	1:13pm clarke: shasta!! root beers!
	1:13pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "shasta" by "manager" i really dig this tune
	1:13pm efd: ↳ Song: "shasta" by "manager" still mad that this song somehow slipped by me on their new EP, it's great!
	1:13pm efd: ↳ efd @1:13 (mad at myself, to be clear)
	1:13pm Spikey BXL: efd - typo in band name for the first live track ;)
	1:14pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:13 funny my old manager had a boston terrier named Shasta (RIP both of them).
	1:14pm efd: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:13 oh THAT's what you were talking about!
	1:15pm Spikey BXL: ↳ efd @1:14 it was perfectly clear in my mind
	1:15pm Handy Haversack: You can't spell Manager without Man Ager!
	1:16pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "MANAGER live on WFMU Engineered by Tom Unish ... Cranking this up in the car while out buying secret gifts -- Sounds excellent! Thumbs up to the band and Tom Unish.
	1:16pm Andres: ↳ Song: "shasta" by "manager" Oh man. All promotional offers should be this good!
	1:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:15 you can't demand to speak to a manager without a karen?
	1:16pm clarke: secret gifts!
	1:17pm efd: ↳ Mike Sin @1:16 hi Mike! Happy shopping!
	1:18pm prof.fuzz: t'is the season for secret santanas!
	1:19pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:18 what is Santa Tuttle bringing you this year??
	1:20pm tim: ↳ Song: "lady pizza" by "manager" I'm picking up on a theme here.
	1:20pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:19 parts for my new guitar build no pedals this year. maybe for my birthday?
	1:21pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:20 Clari(Pirate)!
	1:21pm prof.fuzz: just visited manager's bandcamp. i'm sensing a theme across their cover art (and a theme that rings a bell or two with us!).
	1:22pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @1:21 more likely a custom repeat percussion type tremolo.
	1:23pm morphe': ↳ clarke @1:19 Santa Tuttle = possibly ok??? Beware of gifts from: Archibald “Harry” Tuttle
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 I thought there were definite fuzzian echoes in "Shasta" especially.
	1:24pm clarke: ↳ morphe' @1:23 ha ha ha, i will.
	1:24pm prof.fuzz: ↳ morphe' @1:23 santa tuttle = doug tuttle from mid-fi electronics and dougtuttle.bandcamp.com
	1:24pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:22 hmm.. my buddy, tommy makes a percussion-repeat pedal.. will send you info
	1:25pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:24 I was thinking it was that Tuttle!
	1:25pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:21 A-ha! I see it too. Maybe there should be a Manager prof.fuzz63 double bill. Manager can sing through the fuZZZmic and prof can sing through their banana mic.
	1:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:25 a boston-area guy, now living in RI one of the most creative pedal builders i know.
	1:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @1:25 maybe EFD can hook us up next summer when we're back in the NYC area...
	1:27pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 I saw his band Mmoss at Mercury Lounge maybe 15-ish years ago and might have scared him when I rushed over after the set to see if they might be able to come out and record a session at the station the next day. (They could not)
	1:29pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:27 ha!
	1:29pm tim: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:26 That would be very cool!
	1:30pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:26 this seems eminently do-able
	1:30pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:25 i did not know he'd moved to RI?? wow.
	1:30pm Will thee SG OCNY: Tom Unish is doing a great job with the sound! Thank you Manager, efd, and Tom Unish!
	1:31pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:30 i'll have my people get in touch with your people so they can get in touch with their people...
	1:33pm tim: That's a lot of people touching!
	1:33pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:31 good plan!
	1:33pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @1:30 Always stunned by the quality of the audio. A certain secret Xmas shopper has done this too, and just as well. Kudos to the sound guys making great bands sound like they should!
	1:33pm efd: ↳ tim @1:33 I'm a people person!
	1:34pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @1:33 it's ok if it's consensual
	1:34pm tim: ↳ efd @1:33 Haha!
	1:35pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:33 the live room at studio b records really well, especially for a small space. good engineers make it happen!
	1:35pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "dirty white coat" by "manager" ⭐🔊🔊🥰❤
	1:41pm clarke: enjoyed that set immensely!!
	1:41pm tim: Great set Manager! Thanks efd and Tom.
	1:42pm clarke: hot tip!
	1:43pm Roberto: Is this the day we get to hear Hanson or is that next week?
	1:43pm Handy Haversack: Well done, all!
	1:43pm prof.fuzz: excellent set!
	1:44pm clarke: you heard me!
	1:44pm clarke: i need to speak to the assistant manager!!!
	1:44pm efd: ↳ Roberto @1:43 NEXT WEEK!
	1:46pm Roberto: ↳ efd @1:44 Reason enough to live for another week!
	1:46pm Jack McGuire: Hoping the new Swansea Sound Xmas single gets a spin next week!
	1:47pm tim: Would Assistant have to open for Manager each show? Based on most corporate orgnaizational charts I've studied it shows the Assistant below the Manager.
	1:49pm efd: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:46 that is a reasonable expectation!
	1:50pm Jack McGuire: ↳ efd @1:49 El fantastico!
	1:50pm efd: ↳ tim @1:47 yes, I think Assistant would need to be the opener!
	1:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:50 If this metaphor got fully extended, Manager would hire a bunch of other acts called Manager to all heap more set time on Assistant without Assistant getting a larger share of the gate.
	1:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "jangleland" by "dom mariani" is bueno!
	1:52pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 and/or Manager would come out during Assistant's last song and tell them they needed to play for another hour with no explanation.
	1:53pm tim: ↳ efd @1:52 And address Assistant with the wrong name.
	1:54pm clarke: ↳ Song: "jangleland" by "dom mariani" quite a few byrds refs in lyrics, as well as music
	1:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:52 Now I'm just depressed. Thankfully, the REAL Manager seem like very nice people who would never do this! Metaphors are dangerous!
	1:54pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 I think you missed your calling as Rock'n'Roll Consultant, Handy!
	1:55pm Spikey BXL: Intern has to start playing even before doors open. No access to backstage or catering.
	1:55pm tim: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:55 Ha!
	1:58pm efd: ↳ Spikey BXL @1:55 maybe I can get my friends' early 2000s bands The Consultants to reunite for this!
	1:58pm prof.fuzz: ↳ efd @1:52 and get yelled at by the karens every night
	1:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:58 They could make twice as much as any other band and not have to actually play!
	1:58pm Spikey BXL: ↳ efd @1:58 you'll be paying through the nose
	1:58pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "play that fast thing (one more time)" by "rockpile" Bullet-proof reckit stem ta stern.
	1:59pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "play that fast thing (one more time)" by "rockpile" One of the best one album bands of all time?
	2:00pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @1:59 i consider most of their solo projects to be the same band, tho.
	2:01pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @1:59 I'm not sure I can ignore the fact that the same band is on the Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds albums of that era as well, though!
	2:02pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:01 uncle michael would shame us for these beliefs.
	2:02pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:01 Totally understandable!
	2:03pm Figgsrock: A KK!?! Dammit, I just used my work gift card to order some reissues.
	2:04pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:03 WoooooT!!
	2:05pm clarke: KK
	2:06pm clarke: all good fun, what?!?
	2:09pm prof.fuzz: so many great tunes on this comp! cavernsofgold.bandcamp.com...
	2:10pm Joe B: great show efd! manager sounded excellent!
	2:10pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @2:10 hello joe!
	2:11pm Sunny: Allessi Brothers
	2:11pm efd: ↳ Joe B @2:10 hey Joe, thanks!
	2:11pm Matt Alston: Thanks for playing this record. Those folks in Western NC got wiped out. We’ve (Beat Up) got a song on there too. Great stuff on this one.
	2:11pm clarke: ↳ Sunny @2:11 thank you was racking my brain
	2:12pm efd: ↳ Sunny @2:11 well-spotted!
	2:12pm clarke: wracking so much i forgot the W
	2:13pm efd: ↳ Matt Alston @2:11 hey Matt! Hope you caught that I played a Beat Up song a few weeks ago.
	2:14pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "l'hippie nationale" by "the neutrons" Ooh, a Komp not even out yet!
	2:15pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:14 maybe you'll get some more credits by the time it comes out!
	2:15pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "l'hippie nationale" by "the neutrons" Wow, everything I love in a tune: flute, 7sus chords, flat 7ths, jangly playing, twin leads ...
	2:15pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:15 and succinctness!
	2:16pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @2:15 Wait, the Grapefruit/Cherry Red site says it's out already.
	2:16pm clarke: dohhh!
	2:17pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:16 oh yeah! I mixed it up with another one that's not out yet!
	2:17pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:16 let's face it, you are going to give your life's blood to Cherry Red eventually, anyway.
	2:19pm clarke: ↳ clarke @2:17 maybe they'll let you start a tab?
	2:20pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @2:17 Not yet at least. I do have a about 8 of their comps on my Discogs and/or Amazon wish lists. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
	2:21pm clarke: i love komps, too!
	2:22pm Matt Alston: Thank You so much. Do you remember which song? This will put a smile on bandmates faces. And as usual, thank you for a great show. My crew and I tune in every Wednesday.
	2:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "keep on walking" by "the steppers" This is not the Atlanta I experienced in the seventies.
	2:23pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:22 was about to ask! i actually have heard this tune, before, so i think it must have been a local nola radio hit??
	2:23pm efd: ↳ Song: "bewitched" by "white town" this is the comp that's coming out next month
	2:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:23 Well, keep in mind that when the seventies ended, I was six.
	2:24pm clarke: what does c92 mean??
	2:24pm egould: ↳ Song: "bewitched" by "white town" This is on Cherry Red? Wow! What a different sound for the label. ;-)
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:24 i went to soccer camp at clemson - somehow WFOX came in loud and clear on that campus.. mid-70's
	2:25pm egould: ↳ clarke @2:24 Cassette 1992. An annual cassette compilation included in NME.
	2:25pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:24 it's the latest in the series playing of the original NME C86 cassette
	2:25pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:24 Oooooohhh .... For reference, I was 23 ...
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ egould @2:25 thanks. asking for a friend!
	2:26pm hifivicky: terrific show!! I keep getting snagged on bands, and I wander off to Google them or find their BC. you should know you've put 3 records into the cart so far... thanks 💙 😊
	2:26pm efd: ↳ Matt Alston @2:22 except for Nov. 20, apparently! :) (it was "No Great Progress")
	2:26pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:25 i was wondering that. a bit slowly.
	2:27pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:25 still a kid!
	2:28pm efd: ↳ hifivicky @2:26 ha, happy to hear that!
	2:29pm clarke: is cut me deep american, brit, or both??
	2:30pm Handy Haversack: Will the world still make kompilations in 2025? Who knows what the future holds!
	2:31pm clarke: ask the owl.
	2:31pm egould: Just got my copy of 'Postcards from Scotland' yesterday.

	2:36pm Enflod: ↳ Song: "rob a bank" by "benny profane" One of my favorite band origin stories is when Don Fagenson was so poor he called his buddy David Weiss and announced he was going to rob a bank and David was like, don't do that, let's start a band instead. Thus Was (Not Was) was born
	2:36pm clarke: ↳ OnTheTrain @2:35 what town?
	2:37pm OnTheTrain: ↳ clarke @2:36 Port Washington, he lives somewhere on the Suffolk / Nassau border.

	2:43pm egould: ↳ Song: "laurel canyon" by "20/20" Nice jangly power pop here.
	2:44pm clarke: ↳ egould @2:43 they were pretty versatile.
	2:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @2:42 I had to be in a meeting! Mic breaks hard to hear ... But I should have expected as much!
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:44 so, it wasn't just us that had a meeting with manager
	2:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:45 SRSLY
