Listener comments!
	11:14pm speccy: first!
	11:14pm Sybil: Good evening! The bats, they have awakened, I do believe! I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight to catch up for tomorrow, and I'm the f'ing teacher. :( Glad you're on to keep my spirits up.
	11:16pm efd: way to go, speccy! Sybil, yes, thank goodness! 4 in a row now, right? or more?
	11:16pm E.L.: I guess everyone's too exhausted from Mayday Mayhem to post. Who on Earth are the Talking Heads? Are they a David Byrne side project? THIRD!
	11:16pm E.L.: Beaten by EFD!
	11:17pm efd: efd fans will not be silenced!
	11:17pm Laurie: Happy Cinco de Drinko.
	11:18pm Sybil: 4 in a row? Don't ask me, I can't count! (Guess what I teach...)
	11:26pm E.L.: Laurie: I have a demented thought that we should synchronize a tequila shot — virtual or otherwise. Any takers?
	11:28pm Laurie: I'll stick with Diet Coke with Lime.
	11:29pm Sybil: I'll drink a virtual shot with you all!
	11:29pm miss buxley: efd----- whut up??? i'm back & more gorgeous than ever!!!!!!!!!!! so evan hows life been treatin you??? THIS IS ONE EFD FAN THAT WILL NEVER BE SILENCED!!!!! PEACE--LOVE--JOY & HAPPINESS!!!!!=)=)=)
	11:31pm Laurie: miss buxley is the same person as toni daytona, right?
	11:34pm efd: and then some!
	11:35pm E.L.: Always the class act, Laurie. Cheers. For Sybil and everyone else let's say at the end of the first song in this set.
	11:43pm Joe: Ev, you're rocking too hard. Some of us are trying to study.
	11:47pm Michael: Count me among the studious--finishing my senior thesis tonight out here in Berkeley. Show is sounding good, EFD...
	11:48pm Amanda: I love those Ministry covers! (or, covers by Ministry.) Their "Radar Love" is above reproach. Have to get that album. How was the shot? I have only Gato Negro here myself, but I did finish the glass kind of fast.
	11:51pm Laurie in Miami: It means "System of sexual completion," or... orgasm? I guess.
	11:51pm efd: i had no idea my show was so popular with the study set! i've got vitamin-fortified diet coke here in the studio myself...
	11:52pm efd: oh! well, ahem, that's not so bad then. thanks, Laurie!
	11:53pm Laurie: Is there a sexy robot on the cover of that Xyx album?
	11:56pm efd: there's not, just a black and white drawing with kind of a vine motif. But i think i see where you're going with that question...
	11:56pm Sybil: It's a well-documented fact that listening to EFD raises your IQ by an average of 17.56 points.
	12:00am Listener David: ....but Roger is still from Supertramp...dont know if buying it there helps
	12:00am Sybil: sexy robots? http://blogs.zdnet.com/emergingtech/?p=715
	12:02am Sybil: Virtual tequila is a lot better than real tequila IMO. But I'd still rather have had the virtual Gato Negro. Wish I thought of it!
	12:03am E.L.: My internet flopped at the appointed time, Sybil. My emporer's new tequila shot will have to wait for next year.
	12:04am efd: David, you're lucky I found the single -- otherwise I surely would have played the album version one of these days, which is about 2 minutes longer
	12:10am Amanda: E.L., you mean it can't be enjoyed on your BIRTHDAY next week? Yes, Gato is a wonderful resource for us underpaid teachers. But I don't think I could teach MATH with a red wine hangover... just creative writing! I have a friend, Derek, who calls himself "Derek of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
	12:22am efd: damn, Amanda, good for you to remember E.L.'s birthday! Derek of the Edmund Fitzgerald = hilarious.
	12:23am E.L.: Amanda, YOU pay attention and you make me laugh/giggle. People have told me of this Gato Negro. I'll have to seek it out on a non-school night.
	12:34am Amanda: So they don't have GN up in Providence? Of course, I imagine life is pretty affordable up there in general -- moonshine made from Dunkin Donuts flavored coffee, etc. I know... I have to hip Derek to Laura Cantrell's version of that song. He'll likely giggle, himself.
	12:46am slugluv1313: WOW!!!!!!!!! break out thee APHRODITE'S CHILD!!!!!!!!! yay Evan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:48am efd: i wish an FMU DJ would do that Aphrodite's Child song for the marathon finale one year, I'd love to play drums on it!
	12:50am slugluv1313: omigosh who do you think should do that song?!?!?!? should we be taking nominations?????????!!!!!?????
	12:54am efd: that question requires more attention than i can give it right now, but off the top of my head I'm thinking Chris Stubbs or Clay Pigeon.
	12:57am Sybil: Clay Pigeon... perfect!
	12:58am Laurie from Miami: Maybe the implication is that multiple Floridas are dying?
	12:59am slugluv1313: i was thinking of maybe FABIO? and YES!!!!!!! Clay Pigeon would be awesome too! but yeah, DEFINITELY requires deeper thought!!!!!!!
	12:59am Sybil: DYING, here!!!
	1:00am C: HAHAHA. Awesome!!
	1:08am efd: :) glad you guys enjoyed that!
	1:14am Sybil: chin chin!
	1:53am Pete: EFD: Good show tonight. Since we're both Sloan fans, it would be nice next week if you could play a track or two from the new Sloan record "Parallel Play" due out on Yep Roc on June 3
	1:58am efd: thanks Pete! i'm curious to check that album out myself, but i haven't seen it here at the station yet. maybe next week. Thanks everyone for listening and for your comments!
	2:01am Pete: EFD: They have the whole record that you can stream over at Yep Rec if you're curious.
