Listener comments!
	11:07pm Joe: Cactus?! More Bogert and Appice, plz. I think this is setting the tone quite nicely.
	11:09pm efd: I think any band that Carmine Appice was in would work in this opening set. Except maybe late-70s Rod Stewart.
	11:12pm Joe: You're a drummer... ever read his book?
	11:13pm Matt: This set is a MONSTER!
	11:16pm john: I think you'd just need to find the right version of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, on which I believe the aforementioned Mr. Appice gets co-writing credit. Vanilla Fudge, perhaps.
	11:17pm Challah: Wicked D'Awesome.
	11:19pm efd: Matt, if you like this set just wait til you hear Cyclone 60! Joe, haven't read the book - have you?
	11:25pm Joe: Guy I used to work with was a multi-instrumentalist... said it was the best book on drumming he'd ever read. Personally, I have trouble walking and talking at the same time without falling flat on my face... not exactly drummer material.
	11:26pm Matt: Bernard Purdie needs to do an audiobook or something. He CARRIES that Steely Dan DVD.
	11:31pm john: Hey, that was at least two thundertrain fun facts!
	11:32pm Joe: Isn't Bernard Purdie the guy who said he played all of Ringo's drum parts?
	11:33pm Joe: AP-uh-CEE
	11:40pm doc: I can't wait to see them play Psychoaster Eureka on saturday (and the space helmet)
	11:41pm efd: You're right, John! I wasn't thinking that was a two-in-one!
	11:42pm Joe: don't forget the smoke machine.
	11:42pm efd: if only we'd done the session today! apparently the film crew had a smoke machine here earlier.
	11:44pm Joe: compliments to the photographer, EFD. Pics are totally dope.
	11:45pm efd: ooh, thanks for reminding me to add a credit - photos were taken by Angeline Espino.
	11:47pm Joe: YES
	12:12am efd: i would just like to call everyone's attention to the gorgeous blue Vistalites in the photos at the top of the playlist. Now those are DRUMS.
	12:14am Joe: Wooooo! scattered applause and hoots
	12:34am Amanda: So quiet in here. Is everyone's internet down, too? Set killed. I'm glad I resisted the urge to put on my Vanilla Fudge album.
	12:37am efd: Hi Amanda, and thanks! My theory is that Cyclone 60 left everyone too stunned to type.
	12:39am Joe: Well, I was going to make a serial killer joke about the studio phones being dead, but I didn't want to appear to be monopolizing the comments board. You know, until that opening set, I didn't realize it, but now I'm very much of the opinion that Mr. Fiberglass is simply the reincarnation of Jim Bogert, wearing a motorcycle helmet. Wait, he's still alive. Who was the guy who got machine gunned?
	12:53am C: Was Ultimate Realistic Rock the book you guys were talking about earlier? Sorry I missed it. Would it be good for a beginner or is it more geared towards seasoned drummers?
	12:58am Danne D: EFD out causing insomnia again :) Good job as always, sir. -DD
	12:59am Joe: Yo C- Yeah that's the book, like I said, I'm not a drummer, and I haven't read it, however the person who I know -did- read it apparently used it to supplement his beginner lessons. He was also a pretty particular guy in general, and the book is still in print, so I'd imagine it's as solid as they come. Bonus: Amazon review says "It was innovative---cutting edge, and also appealed to a wide range of students ranging from relative beginners to experienced set players." God bless you drummers and your crazy flailing.
	1:01am C: Cool! Thanks, Joe. I might check it out. Sounds like a winner.
	1:03am Joe: No problem. Must... resist... Eno... Tiger Mountain... pun...
	1:04am efd: Tyler - check your email.
	1:10am Danne D: I have visuals of animatronic mops and buckets marching all around FMU now :D
	1:10am Amanda: Yay yay yay I am going to see A.C. Newman in Brooklyn this Sunday. Joe, I keep trying to think of good joke answers to your machine-gun question but they are not forthcoming.
	1:18am Joe: I got scared for a minute that I made that up in my head - but Wikipedia confirms that Rusty Day, the lead singer of Cactus, was actually machine gunned to death by the guitarist in his band after a coke deal gone bad. Not fun, but definitely a rockstar way to go out. Might make my top 5.
	1:21am Joe: Not to.. um... make myself suspect... but it's actually "Taylor" Hanson.
	1:22am efd: Duly noted, Joe. In more ways than one.
	1:24am Joe: Ohhhh man, you got me good.
	1:25am Amanda: That burn is going in my Top 5 rockstar ways for Joe to go out.
	1:28am stingy d: let's all go to the clemente soto velez cultural center on april 4th!!!
	1:50am efd: I don't get it... what's happening there then?
	1:53am Joe: Something sweet, if it's got Stingy D involved.
	1:55am Amanda: I was considering just going there and seeing if you all showed up.
	1:57am efd: ha!
	1:58am Joe: No, the official EFD fan-club meet up is this saturday at the Delancey at 10pm! Be there or be square! good show, Davies, good show
	2:01am efd: thanks Joe and all! Good night!
	8:11am AZ Jim: Hey Evan, Thanks for the Moon Martin! I think it sounded alot more new wave in '79, but it's still good. Cheers! Jim
