	8:24pm Bethany Snowbeard: It's fun to pretend that I'm a busty blonde graduate student at a midwestern university in the early 1980s listening to the college radio station while the brown rice steams and I'm memorizing attic greek verb declensions at the kitchen table while my 135-lb. red-flannel boyfriend rides his puegot road bike through the sleet to my house. this excellent radio show has been helping me dream.

	8:30pm Sybil: I'm having a multimedia mayday madness experience here.
	8:32pm slugluv1313: SILICONE TEENS!!!!!!!! omg! Mr. Evan, have you been borrowing my old records whilst i have not been looking?
	8:33pm efd: Sybil! can i count on you to keep me updated on the Sox and Yankee games?
	8:36pm E.L.: Web Browser > WFMU.org > Archives > Evan "Funk" Davies > Mayday Mayhem > BOOKMARK
	8:36pm Sybil: I have one computer showing the Sox, the other running the Spanish language radio feed for the game AND the WFMU feed. If my head doesn't explode... Sox down 0-2 after 5. The bats are still snoozing.
	8:38pm Laurie: Every song you've played so far pre-dates my birth. Thanks for making me feel young!
	8:38pm Sybil: Detroit ahead 4-3 after 4 and 1/2...
	8:39pm Sybil: Laurie, you just made me feel ancient... ;-)
	8:39pm annne: lovely after lovely after lovely song! many thanks
	8:41pm Maggie: Evan, I would - not kill, but maybe slightly maim - if you would play "Kites" by the guys who originally called themselves the Associates.
	8:44pm Jessica: It's all kinds of blue-skies-and-balmy out here, but should get down to 46ºF tonight. Also: In the 80s, in S.F., whenever that last song's direction was invoked, etiquette demanded one say "Always forward, never straight."
	8:46pm Jessica: Now I really really really wish I could get the 'FMU on the car stereo. And had somewhere to go, with adequate cargo for burning the gas. 'Cause this is sunroof-open-windows-down good times.
	8:48pm slugluv1313: yikes!!! i graduated from college in 1981, so i feel REALLY old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	8:48pm Jessica: [I will so shut up after this here trifecta, but] New Muzik? The same guys who did Planet Doesn't Mind? Not in keeping with the theme, so much, but which tore up so many dance floors in its time?
	8:49pm efd: uh-oh, i think there's gonna be a maiming! i don't have that song, Maggie. Sybil- thanks for the update. Spanish language feed?! Anne, Jessica, Slugluv and all, thanks for the comments! I can see it's going to be a challenge keeping up with the comments tonight!
	8:49pm Laurie: Jessica: Do they know it's spring where you live? Jeez! It's 73º in Miami.
	8:50pm Laurie: Er, that's 73 degrees...
	8:51pm Laurie: EFD: Keep the power pop coming! Oh, wait, that dude from Shoes hated being labeled as power pop, right? Oh well!
	8:52pm efd: i mistyped, it's actually New Music with an s, not a z
	8:52pm Laurie: Also, can I request Girls at Our Best! ...?
	8:55pm efd: ooh! that i have!
	8:56pm Sybil: Alex Rios just hit a HR... (sigh}
	8:57pm toni daytona: hiya evan---whuts cookin??? i dont know 'bout luann,,but i'll be spendin three GLORIOUS DAZE & NITES WITH BRAD!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOHOOOO ya know life is LOVELY!!!!!!! HUGS & KISSES------TONI=)=)=)
	8:59pm Laurie: Woooooooooooooo! Thanks, EFD.
	8:59pm Sybil: ...and the Yankees just tied it up.
	9:01pm Laurie: Quick, someone mash this up with the McCain Girls. McCain Girls at Our Best!
	9:02pm Will: Evan -- Lovin every minute of it....let us now fondly remember the Mutants (SF) and "Opposite World" or "New Drug."
	9:06pm chester: awesomeness! meow!
	9:08pm Sybil: This is my favorite show of all time.
	9:11pm Sybil: Something better change indeed. This is a good omen. Detroit ahead 6-4, top of 6th.
	9:12pm annne: I was so looking forward to spazzing, but this is indeed better than anything I could have imagined! don't worry about keeping up with any comments! just keep playing your music!! thanks and thanks too much
	9:19pm Laurie: If it's not too greedy, I'd like to request another song: "XOYO" by The Passage. It's a salty song. I can't remember if there are FCC unfriendly words, though :( Other bands I would like to hear: The Higsons, Orange Juice, Sparks, Aztec Camera, The Farmer's Boys, and The Monochrome Set. By the way, thus far, you've played only one song that might have been released while I was an embryo. Keep it up!
	9:21pm efd: ah, good news Sybil! Glad you're enjoying the show Annne, Will, Chester and all!
	9:21pm john: whoa, as if i wasn't having enough trouble with the days of the week...but at least i come in to the au pairs. Drove people in my dorm nuts with that record!
	9:21pm teris: tuning from greece! thank you very much for your wonderful music!
	9:21pm efd: Laurie i have records by 2 of those bands with me tonight
	9:22pm john: PS Farmer's Boys rawk. Monochrome Set truly godlike. Just saying.
	9:23pm Laurie: Yay! Also, Young Marble Giants, if you're so inclined. Pop music was so much better in the late seventies/early eighties.
	9:23pm Sybil: Thanks to whoever requested the au pairs! You got any "music to wake up the Red Sox offense" there? Still 0-3, top of 9th. However, the Bad Man is due up in the bottom of the 9th so...
	9:26pm Hana: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
	9:30pm Laurie: "China" and "finer." I admire that rhyming combo.
	9:30pm Stew Art: I agree. Any Young Marble Giants?
	9:30pm efd: ok, a Neil Diamond cover to urge them on at Fenway.
	9:32pm Sybil: Timlin coming in. This cover is cracking me up.
	9:33pm efd: Timlin?! no good's gonna come of that. Stew, i was kind of deliberately staying away from YMG since the recent colossal youth reissue got a lot of airplay, but maybe i'll reconsider
	9:34pm Jessica: What? (When I changed my name to Clair Voyant, once upon a teenage runaway, I was inspired by Clare Grogan, not all the other things folks guessed no matter how hard I wished they'd just not.)
	9:36pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: How about something from the Vibrators?
	9:36pm Sybil: Timlin, for a wonder, got out of a little mess Aardsma made. On to the bottom of the ninth.
	9:39pm Jessica: 73ºF? In that timezone and everything? Yowza. I hope you've got a nice refreshing beverage, there, Laurie. Something not in keeping with the theme, though, 'cause all I can think of is wine spritzers and rum & cokes.
	9:39pm efd: ger a runner on 2nd, drive him in with a hit to Wells, just like the last two nights.
	9:40pm Sybil: Yankees loaded the bases with 2 out in the bottom of the 6th, but it went nowhere.
	9:41pm Joe: So I'm innocently watching my Yankees stall out in one of the least entertaining baseball games I've ever seen, decide to flip on the radio to distract myself, and LOOK WHO IT IS. This game is YOUR fault, Davies. If they loose, you owe me a song. Perhaps one about my waning patience concerning your shenanegous mischievery, or "Monkey Shines", if you will.
	9:42pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: While all y'all are sending musical voodoo to baseball teams, can you keep the Mariners in the game long enough to get us into the 10th?
	9:43pm Jessica: Er, Six Months in a Leaky Boat?
	9:44pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Go Coco. Ooh, nope. Game.
	9:45pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Ha! Game not over? Time was called on the field? Or a balk? What is going on?
	9:45pm Sybil: Well, that was not the game I ordered.
	9:46pm Sybil: Yes, what's going on?
	9:46pm Randy in NC: Skratchin'
	9:47pm Sybil: Interesting... balk, was it?
	9:48pm Jessica: 12" Mayday Mayhem like you?
	9:49pm Sybil: Tiggers now 8-4
	9:49pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: I can't see anything. I'm sitting in an office in Seattle streaming the Sox game and WFMU. Balk was the call. Boston announcers suggested that they couldn't see anything that suggested a balk. Maybe Whitey Bulger was making the call.
	9:50pm efd: i just balked myself. way to go with the Whitey Bulger reference, Patrick!
	9:50pm Sybil: I CAN''T BELIEVE YOU'RE PLAYING THIS SONG! It's been running through my head all day!
	9:51pm slugluv1313: omigosh, NOW you are raiding my 12" collection appropriate, perhaps, that "Homosapian" is a full TWELVE INCHES har har har
	9:51pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Oh! While I was distracted by the balk the Mariners made it to the 10th and took the lead. Hooray!
	9:52pm Sybil: I just stepped on something that caused me to lose the game feeds. Someone else will have to fill in.
	9:54pm efd: slugluv -- don't worry, i put your pete shelley 12" back. WFMU, making listeners' baseball dreams come true.
	9:54pm Randy in NC: efd Mayday Mayhem, great show!
	9:55pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: My favorite Bulger references come from Turbocharger in the documentary Stolen. Stolen is about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's thefted paintings.
	9:55pm Patrick: i have been looking forward to this all day! yea!
	9:55pm anne: ah, americans! I heard this song first as a student in germany. here comes the flag!
	9:57pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Ha, the Mariner's lead came from an improbable Richie Sexson home run. Tigers still up 8 - 4
	9:58pm naomi: just tuned in and looked at your playlist. Whoa, evan! Hypnobeat must be around the corner, no? love you.
	9:59pm Joe: No Yanks fans to share my misery? None?
	10:00pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Not a one, Joe.
	10:02pm efd: Naomi, how'd you guess?! great to hear from you!
	10:02pm Patrick: Joe, im a mets fan so i share your misery in a round about sorta way
	10:04pm Patrick: looks like the sox lost 3-0
	10:06pm Sybil: That was definitely not the game I ordered.
	10:07pm naomi: that made my week. bless you, efd
	10:08pm Sybil: What happened after the balk call? MLB still seems not to know. I found on a blog: "3 hits and a walk after what should have been the last out." But no scoring?
	10:09pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Coco popped out. Game over. Now my the Indians have the bases loaded. 3-1. No out. Ugh.
	10:10pm spike: wow, this polyrock song is actually better than I remember it!
	10:11pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Whoops, not my Indians. My Mariners just tied the game on a walk. Quick, EFD, play AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" to inspire Putz. I need you. Or do I need to turn to Jack FM?
	10:13pm Laurie: I love this Gang of Four song, by the by.
	10:16pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Oh, Putz struck out the side. No need for AC/DC. The Feelies will do very, very well. Thanks, EFD.
	10:16pm efd: looks like it's jack fm for you, patrick. although i have been known to play thunderstruck before!
	10:17pm efd: ah, well that's that!
	10:21pm Randy in NC: Television, Shirts, Erasers, Richard Lloyd, dBs, Fall, Lena Lovich, Sparks, Marshall Crenshaw, PIL, ....
	10:22pm Randy in NC: Selektor
	10:23pm Laurie: Ooh, play "Too Much Too Young" by the Specials next!
	10:24pm Laurie: Please.
	10:24pm slugluv1313: ooooo yeah, ERASERS!!!!!!!! got any CHERRY VANILLA???????? WAYNE (pre-Jayne!) COUNTY? FAST???????? THE GO??????? (yeah, those "Instant Reaction" boyz from YONKERS, woo hoo!)
	10:25pm efd: Randy said the magic words (two of them, one starts with "T" and the other starts with "d")
	10:30pm john: got this song on the Spalsh of Colour sampler. Long live the three-week long 1981 english psych revival!
	10:31pm efd: slugluv, I have to say you're veering awfully close to Toni Daytona / Miss Buxley-style writing there! ;)
	10:31pm efd: John, yep, that's what i'm playing it from!
	10:32pm john: I discovered one of my all time fave rave bands, The Times, on that record too!
	10:35pm Sybil: aaaaaaaaaaand... the Yankees lose! Marniers still at it, though.
	10:36pm slugluv1313: ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! perhaps -- methinks??!!?? -- i am her . . . EVIL TWIN SISTER?!?!?!?!?!?!
	10:36pm Sybil: {ahem} That would be the Mariners, of course, not the Marniers.
	10:38pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Grand Marniers? Barely still at it. Just announced "the outfield is at barely little league depth".
	10:40pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Mariners are no longer at it. Did anyone's team win today? Other than the WFMU EFD team?
	10:41pm Randy in NC: efd Baggy Trousers -> 1980 (#3 UK)
	10:42pm Laurie: Thanks!!!!!!! :*
	10:42pm Sybil: The Washington Nationals won. I think that tells you what you need to know about today.
	10:42pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Hmm... winning single was a line drive to the outfield. We had put our outfield back at major league depth. Wonder if the little league strategy would have helped. Loving this Higsons tune.
	10:43pm Sybil: "It goes waap" is a great title. I want to steal it.
	10:43pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: And the Texas Rangers won, too. I see what you mean, Sybil.
	10:45pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: You could borrow it and use "It goes waAap"
	10:47pm Sybil: Or maybe the baseball fact which sort of sums up today: Eric Gagne got a save.
	10:48pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Sure does.
	10:52pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Gagne's on pace to have 52 saves. What in the world?
	10:52pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Playing for the Commish has its perks!
	10:53pm naomi: EFD: you are so killing me softly with your '80-'82 song...s.
	10:53pm efd: the red sox might have lost, but my other team won: whoever's playing the Yankees! i can't imagine Gagne will keep this up for the whole season...
	10:54pm efd: naomi, the next one will jar you out of your reverie i bet. and no, it's not our daughter's wedding.
	10:55pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Any room in here for Men Without Hats "Antarctica"? "Peace of Mind" for some reason has put that in my head. And my brother writing to inform me that Bush wanted to open up oil drilling in the Antarctica.
	10:56pm Randy in NC: Gotta love the analog synths in the background on a lot of these tunes.
	10:57pm naomi: next um...best ....thing. damn your synths!! perhaps i needed that jar. or a jar.
	10:58pm slugluv1313: oooooooooo not ODW but . . . OMD!!!!!!!!!!! woo hoo!!!!!!!! THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH, Mr. EVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:59pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Hey, EFD, thanks for reminding me that my other team also won! And thanks for the Mayday Mayham. Madness!
	11:01pm efd: thanks so much for all your comments and support everyone! this is my first show to break the 100 comment barrier, woo-hoo! (granted, some of those comments were my own, but still...!)
	2:45am slugluv1313: it's cuz we loooooooooooooooves ya, Evan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:20pm mike tp: reading the fleshtones book sweat great. diggin the tones and the tunes.
	12:44pm New Fan: This is the third time I am listening to this show. I don’t even really like your weekly show but you have officially made a new fan out of me. Thanks EFD

	9:01pm Laurie: Quick, someone mash this up with the McCain Girls. McCain Girls at Our Best!
	9:02pm Will: Evan -- Lovin every minute of it....let us now fondly remember the Mutants (SF) and "Opposite World" or "New Drug."
	9:06pm chester: awesomeness! meow!
	9:08pm Sybil: This is my favorite show of all time.
	9:11pm Sybil: Something better change indeed. This is a good omen. Detroit ahead 6-4, top of 6th.
	9:12pm annne: I was so looking forward to spazzing, but this is indeed better than anything I could have imagined! don't worry about keeping up with any comments! just keep playing your music!! thanks and thanks too much
	9:19pm Laurie: If it's not too greedy, I'd like to request another song: "XOYO" by The Passage. It's a salty song. I can't remember if there are FCC unfriendly words, though :( Other bands I would like to hear: The Higsons, Orange Juice, Sparks, Aztec Camera, The Farmer's Boys, and The Monochrome Set. By the way, thus far, you've played only one song that might have been released while I was an embryo. Keep it up!
	9:21pm efd: ah, good news Sybil! Glad you're enjoying the show Annne, Will, Chester and all!
	9:21pm john: whoa, as if i wasn't having enough trouble with the days of the week...but at least i come in to the au pairs. Drove people in my dorm nuts with that record!
	9:21pm teris: tuning from greece! thank you very much for your wonderful music!
	9:21pm efd: Laurie i have records by 2 of those bands with me tonight
	9:22pm john: PS Farmer's Boys rawk. Monochrome Set truly godlike. Just saying.
	9:23pm Laurie: Yay! Also, Young Marble Giants, if you're so inclined. Pop music was so much better in the late seventies/early eighties.
	9:23pm Sybil: Thanks to whoever requested the au pairs! You got any "music to wake up the Red Sox offense" there? Still 0-3, top of 9th. However, the Bad Man is due up in the bottom of the 9th so...
	9:26pm Hana: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
	9:30pm Laurie: "China" and "finer." I admire that rhyming combo.
	9:30pm Stew Art: I agree. Any Young Marble Giants?
	9:30pm efd: ok, a Neil Diamond cover to urge them on at Fenway.
	9:32pm Sybil: Timlin coming in. This cover is cracking me up.
	9:33pm efd: Timlin?! no good's gonna come of that. Stew, i was kind of deliberately staying away from YMG since the recent colossal youth reissue got a lot of airplay, but maybe i'll reconsider
	9:34pm Jessica: What? (When I changed my name to Clair Voyant, once upon a teenage runaway, I was inspired by Clare Grogan, not all the other things folks guessed no matter how hard I wished they'd just not.)
	9:36pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: How about something from the Vibrators?
	9:36pm Sybil: Timlin, for a wonder, got out of a little mess Aardsma made. On to the bottom of the ninth.
	9:39pm Jessica: 73ºF? In that timezone and everything? Yowza. I hope you've got a nice refreshing beverage, there, Laurie. Something not in keeping with the theme, though, 'cause all I can think of is wine spritzers and rum & cokes.
	9:39pm efd: ger a runner on 2nd, drive him in with a hit to Wells, just like the last two nights.
	9:40pm Sybil: Yankees loaded the bases with 2 out in the bottom of the 6th, but it went nowhere.
	9:41pm Joe: So I'm innocently watching my Yankees stall out in one of the least entertaining baseball games I've ever seen, decide to flip on the radio to distract myself, and LOOK WHO IT IS. This game is YOUR fault, Davies. If they loose, you owe me a song. Perhaps one about my waning patience concerning your shenanegous mischievery, or "Monkey Shines", if you will.
	9:42pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: While all y'all are sending musical voodoo to baseball teams, can you keep the Mariners in the game long enough to get us into the 10th?
	9:43pm Jessica: Er, Six Months in a Leaky Boat?
	9:44pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Go Coco. Ooh, nope. Game.
	9:45pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Ha! Game not over? Time was called on the field? Or a balk? What is going on?
	9:45pm Sybil: Well, that was not the game I ordered.
	9:46pm Sybil: Yes, what's going on?
	9:46pm Randy in NC: Skratchin'
	9:47pm Sybil: Interesting... balk, was it?
	9:48pm Jessica: 12" Mayday Mayhem like you?
	9:49pm Sybil: Tiggers now 8-4
	9:49pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: I can't see anything. I'm sitting in an office in Seattle streaming the Sox game and WFMU. Balk was the call. Boston announcers suggested that they couldn't see anything that suggested a balk. Maybe Whitey Bulger was making the call.
	9:50pm efd: i just balked myself. way to go with the Whitey Bulger reference, Patrick!
	9:50pm Sybil: I CAN''T BELIEVE YOU'RE PLAYING THIS SONG! It's been running through my head all day!
	9:51pm slugluv1313: omigosh, NOW you are raiding my 12" collection appropriate, perhaps, that "Homosapian" is a full TWELVE INCHES har har har
	9:51pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Oh! While I was distracted by the balk the Mariners made it to the 10th and took the lead. Hooray!
	9:52pm Sybil: I just stepped on something that caused me to lose the game feeds. Someone else will have to fill in.
	9:54pm efd: slugluv -- don't worry, i put your pete shelley 12" back. WFMU, making listeners' baseball dreams come true.
	9:54pm Randy in NC: efd Mayday Mayhem, great show!
	9:55pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: My favorite Bulger references come from Turbocharger in the documentary Stolen. Stolen is about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's thefted paintings.
	9:55pm Patrick: i have been looking forward to this all day! yea!
	9:55pm anne: ah, americans! I heard this song first as a student in germany. here comes the flag!
	9:57pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Ha, the Mariner's lead came from an improbable Richie Sexson home run. Tigers still up 8 - 4
	9:58pm naomi: just tuned in and looked at your playlist. Whoa, evan! Hypnobeat must be around the corner, no? love you.
	9:59pm Joe: No Yanks fans to share my misery? None?
	10:00pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Not a one, Joe.
	10:02pm efd: Naomi, how'd you guess?! great to hear from you!
	10:02pm Patrick: Joe, im a mets fan so i share your misery in a round about sorta way
	10:04pm Patrick: looks like the sox lost 3-0
	10:06pm Sybil: That was definitely not the game I ordered.
	10:07pm naomi: that made my week. bless you, efd
	10:08pm Sybil: What happened after the balk call? MLB still seems not to know. I found on a blog: "3 hits and a walk after what should have been the last out." But no scoring?
	10:09pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Coco popped out. Game over. Now my the Indians have the bases loaded. 3-1. No out. Ugh.
	10:10pm spike: wow, this polyrock song is actually better than I remember it!
	10:11pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Whoops, not my Indians. My Mariners just tied the game on a walk. Quick, EFD, play AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" to inspire Putz. I need you. Or do I need to turn to Jack FM?
	10:13pm Laurie: I love this Gang of Four song, by the by.
	10:16pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Oh, Putz struck out the side. No need for AC/DC. The Feelies will do very, very well. Thanks, EFD.
	10:16pm efd: looks like it's jack fm for you, patrick. although i have been known to play thunderstruck before!
	10:17pm efd: ah, well that's that!
	10:21pm Randy in NC: Television, Shirts, Erasers, Richard Lloyd, dBs, Fall, Lena Lovich, Sparks, Marshall Crenshaw, PIL, ....
	10:22pm Randy in NC: Selektor
	10:23pm Laurie: Ooh, play "Too Much Too Young" by the Specials next!
	10:24pm Laurie: Please.
	10:24pm slugluv1313: ooooo yeah, ERASERS!!!!!!!! got any CHERRY VANILLA???????? WAYNE (pre-Jayne!) COUNTY? FAST???????? THE GO??????? (yeah, those "Instant Reaction" boyz from YONKERS, woo hoo!)
	10:25pm efd: Randy said the magic words (two of them, one starts with "T" and the other starts with "d")
	10:30pm john: got this song on the Spalsh of Colour sampler. Long live the three-week long 1981 english psych revival!
	10:31pm efd: slugluv, I have to say you're veering awfully close to Toni Daytona / Miss Buxley-style writing there! ;)
	10:31pm efd: John, yep, that's what i'm playing it from!
	10:32pm john: I discovered one of my all time fave rave bands, The Times, on that record too!
	10:35pm Sybil: aaaaaaaaaaand... the Yankees lose! Marniers still at it, though.
	10:36pm slugluv1313: ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! perhaps -- methinks??!!?? -- i am her . . . EVIL TWIN SISTER?!?!?!?!?!?!
	10:36pm Sybil: {ahem} That would be the Mariners, of course, not the Marniers.
	10:38pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Grand Marniers? Barely still at it. Just announced "the outfield is at barely little league depth".
	10:40pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Mariners are no longer at it. Did anyone's team win today? Other than the WFMU EFD team?
	10:41pm Randy in NC: efd Baggy Trousers -> 1980 (#3 UK)
	10:42pm Laurie: Thanks!!!!!!! :*
	10:42pm Sybil: The Washington Nationals won. I think that tells you what you need to know about today.
	10:42pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Hmm... winning single was a line drive to the outfield. We had put our outfield back at major league depth. Wonder if the little league strategy would have helped. Loving this Higsons tune.
	10:43pm Sybil: "It goes waap" is a great title. I want to steal it.
	10:43pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: And the Texas Rangers won, too. I see what you mean, Sybil.
	10:45pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: You could borrow it and use "It goes waAap"
	10:47pm Sybil: Or maybe the baseball fact which sort of sums up today: Eric Gagne got a save.
	10:48pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Sure does.
	10:52pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Gagne's on pace to have 52 saves. What in the world?
	10:52pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Playing for the Commish has its perks!
	10:53pm naomi: EFD: you are so killing me softly with your '80-'82 song...s.
	10:53pm efd: the red sox might have lost, but my other team won: whoever's playing the Yankees! i can't imagine Gagne will keep this up for the whole season...
	10:54pm efd: naomi, the next one will jar you out of your reverie i bet. and no, it's not our daughter's wedding.
	10:55pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Any room in here for Men Without Hats "Antarctica"? "Peace of Mind" for some reason has put that in my head. And my brother writing to inform me that Bush wanted to open up oil drilling in the Antarctica.
	10:56pm Randy in NC: Gotta love the analog synths in the background on a lot of these tunes.
	10:57pm naomi: next um...best ....thing. damn your synths!! perhaps i needed that jar. or a jar.
	10:58pm slugluv1313: oooooooooo not ODW but . . . OMD!!!!!!!!!!! woo hoo!!!!!!!! THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH, Mr. EVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:59pm Former SSD Intern Patrick: Hey, EFD, thanks for reminding me that my other team also won! And thanks for the Mayday Mayham. Madness!
	11:01pm efd: thanks so much for all your comments and support everyone! this is my first show to break the 100 comment barrier, woo-hoo! (granted, some of those comments were my own, but still...!)
	2:45am slugluv1313: it's cuz we loooooooooooooooves ya, Evan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:20pm mike tp: reading the fleshtones book sweat great. diggin the tones and the tunes.
	12:44pm New Fan: This is the third time I am listening to this show. I don’t even really like your weekly show but you have officially made a new fan out of me. Thanks EFD
