Listener comments!
	9:07pm stevel: Happy Wednesday! Working at home sucks much less with efd!
	9:16pm efd: thanks Steve, I appreciate that!
	9:18pm Kat: Working at work sucks quite a bit less with EFD as well :)
	9:18pm Sybil: What Steve said! So... any Poly Styrene tonight? :(
	9:18pm mildred: The dbs! awesome!
	9:19pm Sybil: Is everybody here working while listening? No wonder we're so... productive!
	9:23pm Alex in Astoria: Chicken Pot Pie ! I really needed that, thanks Evan!
	9:26pm efd: Sybil, I pulled the new Poly Styrene CD from the new bin but haven't heard it... i may get to a track later.
	9:28pm miles high piles: You're totally brightening my spirits here & making me almost enjoy folding this laundry. Thanks Evan!
	9:30pm AZ: At the risk of relinquishing what remains of my street cred, I will say that I have always liked those twiddly-sounding synthesizers on "Find Your Way Back.".
	9:30pm stevel: efd is part of an evil corporate plan to lull lackeys into productive activity
	9:31pm AZ: And I thank you for cutting Casey off before we had to hear that cruddy Gary 'US' Bonds comeback single.
	9:32pm Amanda: Phew! I just got in, and thought for a moment that Casey Kasem had usurped you.
	9:34pm cheri: hiya evan--i'm sorry i can't stay but i'm in the mood for a bit more 70s tunes could you make it happen efd??. great show tonight as always!!
	9:34pm Kat: I stare at Excel spreadsheets all day too. Got a couple open right now. Ugh.
	9:41pm john: To close the loop, the self-same Michael Bolton (then known as Michael Bolotin) played at my high school in something like 1979. Even then, I had sense enough not to go.
	9:47pm efd: Good thinking, john! Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in and commenting! More fried than usual tonight, but I'll try to keep up. AZ, your musical interests and knowledge are much broader and deeper than mine, but when we overlap we overlap HARD!
	9:49pm Amanda: "Fancy space person" would be good for Halloween. "Zolar X" too, actually -- could be like a his/hers.
	9:50pm stevel: Zolar X rules the universe!! (Ask them.)
	9:54pm Swami: Ya killin' it EFD!
	10:03pm AZ: Best thing about Zolar-X: they were so into the space-creature persona they created for themselves that when in costume, they spoke only in "alien" gibberish!
	10:05pm Amanda: Sort of like the Hamburglars in that regard. Except totally different also.
	10:05pm Kat: Not every day you hear a songwriter attempt to rhyme "Albini" and "Buscemi"
	10:06pm Danne D: Hi Evan, Hi Funk Fans :) Hi Amanda :) cheri says hi, btw, she said she couldn't make it tonight and told me to say hi to you while on another show's comments board
	10:07pm Danne D: Friggin' Infante goes 3-3 after I get rid of him sigh
	10:10pm Danne D: This would be a great Hoof N Mouth song (not for EFD though)
	10:10pm Danne D: (can't wait until Amanda makes her Hoof N Mouth debut whenever that is gonna be) :) - the streams need to be representin' (just sayin')
	10:12pm Joe D.: she already did, but it was a private show. When they finally do a Criterion release of the Hoof and Mouth highlights, it'll be a DVD extra
	10:13pm efd: I just had to shut the studio door because SOMEBODY is blasting Paul Simon in the library.
	10:14pm Danne D: (retaliation for Jefferson Starship?) Um, there's no such thing as a private Hoof N Mouth show - it's gotta be on the airwaves to count :D
	10:14pm Amanda: Oh man, if he busts that out on Coffee Break I am going to die...
	10:15pm Danne D: So Evan, did you ever tell us (or have Casey tell us) who went all those years in-between singles charting? The answer surely wasn't Jefferson Starship.
	10:16pm Danne D: Btw, happy Cuattro De Funko Everyone!
	10:16pm Sybil: Lovely, that.
	10:16pm stevel: Nice Pol Styrene song. Bittersweet to hear, but a good note to go out on.
	10:16pm Amanda: Was it actually Gary US Bonds, as AZ suggested?
	10:20pm Danne D: Btw, we missed you at the Baseball Project show on Saturday night Evan. WFMU was well represented, however, as Dennis Diken was there.
	10:21pm Danne D: Dang I have to catch that $mall Change archive!
	10:24pm wiki: Gary U.S. Bonds "Copy Cat" #92 1962 "This Little Girl" #11 1981
	10:24pm Kath: R.I.P. Poly Styrene. I heard Robert Christgau's review of her new album on NPR - of all places - the other day and had no idea she had passed. What a loss :( Thanks for playing her new stuff, Evan.
	10:25pm Joe D.: .... sorry. I'm new. obviously.
	10:27pm efd: Wiki is correct! Danne, I'm sure it was a great show - cool that Dennis was there since he's actually mentioned in one of there songs!
	10:28pm Danne D: :) No worries Joe D - I mean it's not like Amanda's lovely singing voice hasn't grace the WFMU airwaves (it has) - it just will be so much better on the Maxwell's Stage :D Btw, wiki, "Copy Cat" wasn't the song Casey mentioned in the air check - probably b/c his show focuses on top 40 not top 100.
	10:28pm Amanda: Joe, I command you to play Paul Simon despite what everyone says.
	10:29pm Danne D: Yeah, it was kinda funny - I've seen TBP twice now and Dennis was there both times :) - he actually was outside with a beer and we were pointing to him through the window :o) gotta love a Ringwood show. Starship, Paul Simon - all the top acts are played here on WFMU :)
	10:31pm Kath: I realize this is totally non sequitur, but Evan, if you are following: any chance you could play Talk in Toytown in memory of Poly S?
	10:32pm Danne D: Jefferson Starship (that specific incarnation) - 13 times on the accuplaylist. Someone who will remain nameless "accidentally" has played "Find You Way Back" before - but as a kid of the 80s I don't mind this :) 24 Paul Simon plays - 20 different songs!
	10:34pm Danne D: Fun to try and play stump the accuplaylist archive :) Dream Theater might be the best selling act to have 0 mentions in the last 22 years. (There's a reference to an unnamed song being played on Diane's show back in 1988).
	10:34pm Joe D.: good thing that studio door is closed because nobody wants to hear me scream singing in German no sir
	10:35pm Danne D: LOL :) I'm all about the German songs.
	10:37pm Tanel Külaots: i was just cutting this song (brausepöter) to be my new ringtone couldn't believe my ears :)
	10:38pm Sybil: efd is all about the synchronicity!
	10:41pm Danne D: Now we're getting Funky!
	10:42pm Sybil: What a great concept for an album.
	10:44pm efd: Kath, I was looking for "Talk In Toytown" last week and couldn't find it here. I think I have it at home, but of course that doesn't do any of us any good right now. Tanel, that must have been very confusing!
	10:44pm efd: Sybil, I know, it's very specific!
	10:46pm Danne D: Wow - Tim Hudson with a career start - 1 hit and 1 walk complete game shutout :)
	10:46pm Catywampus: What's it take to get some Renegades around here?
	10:49pm Cinco de Mayo: ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Trece de mujeres!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:49pm Danne D: Red Sox still in their like 2 hour long rain delay, btw, Evan
	10:50pm Danne D: ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡y solo un hombre aqui !!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:52pm Kath: Thanks, efd. I figured you'd have it! Just found it on youtube, believe it or not (just a still set to the audio): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnZTEHJTihw
	10:56pm stevel: Hey Cattywampus and Danne D: You'll never guess what tune I've been humming all afternoon.
	10:57pm Danne D: The Evan Funk Davies Show Theme Song? :)
	10:57pm Danne D: Does the song contain a number and a gender stevel?
	10:58pm Holly in NC: Ola Evan & all!
	10:59pm Baker's Dozen of XX Chromosomes: We are needy and luvvv attention.
	10:59pm Danne D: Como Estas Senorita Bonita Holly?
	11:00pm stevel: Sometimes i think that song carries bad luck.
	11:00pm Danne D: WOOOHOOOOOOO :D
	11:01pm Holly in NC: If you're asking if I'm well, I am, Senor Danne - gracias! ..... YESSSSSS!!!!!!
	11:01pm Carolyn: Yay!
	11:01pm stevel: The song in question raises serious questions regarding a possible nuclear conflagration.
	11:02pm stevel: Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!
	11:02pm Baker's Dozen of XX Chromosomes: [batting eyelashes comehitheringly]
	11:02pm Joe D.: a nuclear holocaust... with SEXY results.
	11:03pm randy in NC: Pretty soon, you'll have to leave off the New asterisk....
	11:04pm Danne D: naah, randy, that song never gets old! :)
	11:05pm stevel: Yeah! yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaah!
	11:06pm Holly in NC: Evan, you do know I am currently the adoptive parent of the wfmu 7" collection - thank you for so loving one of my babies!
	11:08pm Calgon Bath Beads: GIVE THOSE TICKETS AWAY, SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:08pm Danne D: whoa, Bad Manners!
	11:08pm Joe D.: Hub City Stompers are from NEW BRUNSWICK!!!! (New Jersey)
	11:08pm Danne D: 8( there's really no way I could make it though as I wouldn't be able to get there before 10-10:15 at the very earliest :(
	11:10pm Danne D: New Brunswick is the Hub City of New Jersey :) That's all that really matters.
	11:11pm Joe D.: New Brunswick is also known as the "Hub City". It is my understanding that Boston is known more simply as "The Hub" of what, I can't imagine.
	11:12pm Joe D.: on either account, really
	11:13pm Sybil: of the universe, Joe.
	11:15pm Danne D: Red Sox finally underway again Evan. Still 0-0 - top 5. Beckett's been taken out b/c of the long rain delay so the middling effort is all I get - no win for me :(
	11:16pm N.B.: New Brunswick sits at a transportation crossroads in NJ. It's on the Northeast corridor railroad line and is near several major highways including the Turnpike, Route 1, Route 18, Route 287.
	11:17pm Sybil: That reminds me, I don't know why, of my subway trip home tonight. The conductor kept announcing that we were being held in the station ("momentarily" natch) because of a train behind us. I still don't get it.
	11:17pm Danne D: you can also get a good 'boli there.
	11:18pm Albert E. of N.J.: Space-time is more complex than we know, Sybil
	11:19pm Danne D: Maybe it was a transfer thing Sybil?
	11:20pm Sybil: Ah, Albert. I knew you were probably listening. I asked Heisenberg, nut you know how he is.
	11:20pm efd: I guess my fabled Bostoncentricity got the better of me. Thanks for the correction! Danne, thanks for the Sox update.
	11:21pm Albert E. of N.J.: Yes, personality issues, don't I know it.
	11:21pm efd: All the smarty-pantses listen to my show, obvs.
	11:21pm Sybil: No, Danne, it was a train behind us on the same track. One with enormous gravitational influence, I'm guessing.
	11:22pm Albert E. of N.J.: Who you callin' shmartypantses.
	11:25pm osvi: Gonna go see Mantles and Crystal Stilts in S.F. this weekend...
	11:27pm efd: excellent Osvi, that should be a great show!
	11:27pm Danne D: Maybe it's a switching issue Sybil? Maybe there was a crash scheduled for that moment but the other train was late?
	11:28pm efd: Danne, you're trying to apply logic to an illogical situation.
	11:28pm Sybil: You may be onto something, Danne. Dang, I just hate to miss a scheduled crash.
	11:29pm Spock: Highly illogical.
	11:30pm Danne D: my other guess might be if it has to do with the electricity flow in the system or something like that - and there needing to have the cars positioned in a certain way that's more efficient in terms of energy?
	11:32pm Danne D: Maybe you were just doing it wrong, Sybil: http://www.wikihow.com/Ride-the-New-York-City-Subway
	11:32pm Joe D.: I'm pretty sure the NYC subway system is a giant negative energy antenna, like in Ghostbusters. The regular laws of physics just don't apply.
	11:32pm Carmichael: Hi Mr. Funk and other citizens.
	11:34pm The Sounds of Today: Quite a newbin show since the first set!
	11:34pm Holly in NC: Some awesome new music, Evan- thanks for sharing! (whole last set, plus adore the touch me nots, too)
	11:35pm Danne D: I like that new Renegades song, Evan :)
	11:37pm Sybil: The song by Les Breastfeeders is suppposedly available for download at their website http://www.lesbreastfeeders.ca/
	11:37pm Danne D: Good luck with Lackey Evan - let me know if you want to start accumulating Red Sox pitchers ;)
	11:38pm The Sounds of Today: Evan is no Lackey! lol
	11:39pm efd: that just goes to show you how desperate I am, me picking up Lackey! I can't stand that guy. Hey Carmichael, nice to see you here. Yeah, so much new stuff - I've got about 5x more music than I can get to, as per usual.
	11:39pm Carmichael: Well gaddamit, glad you played the renegades, pissed that I missed.
	11:40pm 13 Women: There was only one man around, and Carmichael wasn't it.
	11:40pm Carmichael: Hey efd, I'm hanging out late night, nothing to do. So I'm absorbing the music ...
	11:41pm Sybil: (BTW I believe "400 milles" traslates to "400 miles" - the singer seemed to be saying he had run 400 miles to be in someone's arms. But I can barely follow Quebecois, so who knows.)
	11:42pm Carmichael: Story of my life, 13 ...
	11:42pm Danne D: Maybe this will help Sybil? :) http://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/civil/subway3.htm
	11:43pm efd: ah, Sybil, that makes more sense. I was influenced by "Milles Bornes," the popular French card game. Popular 30 or 40 years ago, at least.
	11:45pm Holly in NC: Oh this is a great lp! Had no idea it'd been reissued. Good call by Mexican Summer!
	11:46pm Carmichael: Wow. Never heard this before. This is why I listen.
	11:47pm efd: This was new to me as well- I actually have a different version of "Life Child" on a comp, but didn't realize it was a cover.
	11:49pm Danne D: I played Milles Bornes in college EFD :)
	11:50pm The 70s: Ramases did a couple of albums then disappeared. It was later found he'd killed himself a very few years after dropping out of music. Check wikipedia etc.
	11:51pm Danne D: close the book on Cahill - now to the scary Oakland bull-pen. Really should get 2 wins tonight when I have 4 Starting Pitchers going :(
	11:52pm Holly in NC: Trivia - Godley & Creme produced & played on Ramases' lp. And Ramases is not to be confused with Rameses, the dang Tarheel mascot ;-)
	11:53pm efd: yeah, and Graham Gouldman is on there too!
	11:54pm Danne D: You get any of those crazy tornadoes by you Holly?
	11:54pm Danne D: BoSox got a man to 3rd base but could score. 0-0 after 6.
	11:56pm Carmichael: No Kidding, Holly? I guess I have to step up my 10cc fandom! Godley & Creme did pretty friggin OK on their own.
	11:56pm Holly in NC: @Danne - Luckily, none here in Durham - thanks for asking! Some areas of Raleigh were hit hard - in fact Shaw University had to end their year early.
	11:56pm Danne D: and let's not forget "Cry" Carmichael :) well they are closing the coffee shop so I gotta go - thanks for yet another great show Evan :)
	11:57pm Sybil: Bye Danne! Good midnight everyone and thanks to efd for all the new music! ;)
	11:58pm Danne D: Yeah I have family in Raleigh - my brother's neighbor's house was wrecked and there was lots of other ones all around where they live (my sis, my bro, and their families and my mom live down there) - scary. Glad you fared okay :) Now I really gotta go!! G'night all :)
	11:59pm Carmichael: Well, here's the credit for Space Hymns: Eric Stewart - Lead guitar and moog synthesizer Lol Creme - Lead guitar and moog synthesizer Kevin Godley - Drums & flutes Graham Gouldman - Guitar & bass guitar Martin Raphael - Sitar Ramases and his wife Sel sing all songs.
	12:07am miketp: some great tunes for my short drive home from lyndhurst thanks funk ah doodle doo
	12:07am osvi: Ah...always wondered about that beat.
	2:32am Aharon: After after after the fact...very glad you played Tyler Jon Tyler last week. Loved the song and went to their show in a Chinatown karaoke bar; it was great.
	12:53am Wrong Words: Happy to be played in awesome company such as Dwight Twilley!
	11:32am calzone!: EFD. Just reviewing your show via the archive...another gem! I had not heard/thought of that Classic Ruins tune since I last played it on my College Radio show in the 80's. 'Claws' got a quite a bit of airplay on WBNY in Buffalo. I recall meeting Chuck Warner at either CMJ or the New Music Seminar many years ago and remember his unbridled enthusiasm! Thanks for digging up 'Geraldine...' and rekindling this magic memory!

	9:41pm john: To close the loop, the self-same Michael Bolton (then known as Michael Bolotin) played at my high school in something like 1979. Even then, I had sense enough not to go.
	9:47pm efd: Good thinking, john! Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in and commenting! More fried than usual tonight, but I'll try to keep up. AZ, your musical interests and knowledge are much broader and deeper than mine, but when we overlap we overlap HARD!
	9:49pm Amanda: "Fancy space person" would be good for Halloween. "Zolar X" too, actually -- could be like a his/hers.
	9:50pm stevel: Zolar X rules the universe!! (Ask them.)
	9:54pm Swami: Ya killin' it EFD!
	10:03pm AZ: Best thing about Zolar-X: they were so into the space-creature persona they created for themselves that when in costume, they spoke only in "alien" gibberish!
	10:05pm Amanda: Sort of like the Hamburglars in that regard. Except totally different also.
	10:05pm Kat: Not every day you hear a songwriter attempt to rhyme "Albini" and "Buscemi"
	10:06pm Danne D: Hi Evan, Hi Funk Fans :) Hi Amanda :) cheri says hi, btw, she said she couldn't make it tonight and told me to say hi to you while on another show's comments board
	10:07pm Danne D: Friggin' Infante goes 3-3 after I get rid of him sigh
	10:10pm Danne D: This would be a great Hoof N Mouth song (not for EFD though)
	10:10pm Danne D: (can't wait until Amanda makes her Hoof N Mouth debut whenever that is gonna be) :) - the streams need to be representin' (just sayin')
	10:12pm Joe D.: she already did, but it was a private show. When they finally do a Criterion release of the Hoof and Mouth highlights, it'll be a DVD extra
	10:13pm efd: I just had to shut the studio door because SOMEBODY is blasting Paul Simon in the library.
	10:14pm Danne D: (retaliation for Jefferson Starship?) Um, there's no such thing as a private Hoof N Mouth show - it's gotta be on the airwaves to count :D
	10:14pm Amanda: Oh man, if he busts that out on Coffee Break I am going to die...
	10:15pm Danne D: So Evan, did you ever tell us (or have Casey tell us) who went all those years in-between singles charting? The answer surely wasn't Jefferson Starship.
	10:16pm Danne D: Btw, happy Cuattro De Funko Everyone!
	10:16pm Sybil: Lovely, that.
	10:16pm stevel: Nice Pol Styrene song. Bittersweet to hear, but a good note to go out on.
	10:16pm Amanda: Was it actually Gary US Bonds, as AZ suggested?
	10:20pm Danne D: Btw, we missed you at the Baseball Project show on Saturday night Evan. WFMU was well represented, however, as Dennis Diken was there.
	10:21pm Danne D: Dang I have to catch that $mall Change archive!
	10:24pm wiki: Gary U.S. Bonds "Copy Cat" #92 1962 "This Little Girl" #11 1981
	10:24pm Kath: R.I.P. Poly Styrene. I heard Robert Christgau's review of her new album on NPR - of all places - the other day and had no idea she had passed. What a loss :( Thanks for playing her new stuff, Evan.
	10:25pm Joe D.: .... sorry. I'm new. obviously.
	10:27pm efd: Wiki is correct! Danne, I'm sure it was a great show - cool that Dennis was there since he's actually mentioned in one of there songs!
	10:28pm Danne D: :) No worries Joe D - I mean it's not like Amanda's lovely singing voice hasn't grace the WFMU airwaves (it has) - it just will be so much better on the Maxwell's Stage :D Btw, wiki, "Copy Cat" wasn't the song Casey mentioned in the air check - probably b/c his show focuses on top 40 not top 100.
	10:28pm Amanda: Joe, I command you to play Paul Simon despite what everyone says.
	10:29pm Danne D: Yeah, it was kinda funny - I've seen TBP twice now and Dennis was there both times :) - he actually was outside with a beer and we were pointing to him through the window :o) gotta love a Ringwood show. Starship, Paul Simon - all the top acts are played here on WFMU :)
	10:31pm Kath: I realize this is totally non sequitur, but Evan, if you are following: any chance you could play Talk in Toytown in memory of Poly S?
	10:32pm Danne D: Jefferson Starship (that specific incarnation) - 13 times on the accuplaylist. Someone who will remain nameless "accidentally" has played "Find You Way Back" before - but as a kid of the 80s I don't mind this :) 24 Paul Simon plays - 20 different songs!
	10:34pm Danne D: Fun to try and play stump the accuplaylist archive :) Dream Theater might be the best selling act to have 0 mentions in the last 22 years. (There's a reference to an unnamed song being played on Diane's show back in 1988).
	10:34pm Joe D.: good thing that studio door is closed because nobody wants to hear me scream singing in German no sir
	10:35pm Danne D: LOL :) I'm all about the German songs.
	10:37pm Tanel Külaots: i was just cutting this song (brausepöter) to be my new ringtone couldn't believe my ears :)
	10:38pm Sybil: efd is all about the synchronicity!
	10:41pm Danne D: Now we're getting Funky!
	10:42pm Sybil: What a great concept for an album.
	10:44pm efd: Kath, I was looking for "Talk In Toytown" last week and couldn't find it here. I think I have it at home, but of course that doesn't do any of us any good right now. Tanel, that must have been very confusing!
	10:44pm efd: Sybil, I know, it's very specific!
	10:46pm Danne D: Wow - Tim Hudson with a career start - 1 hit and 1 walk complete game shutout :)
	10:46pm Catywampus: What's it take to get some Renegades around here?
	10:49pm Cinco de Mayo: ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Trece de mujeres!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:49pm Danne D: Red Sox still in their like 2 hour long rain delay, btw, Evan
	10:50pm Danne D: ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡y solo un hombre aqui !!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:52pm Kath: Thanks, efd. I figured you'd have it! Just found it on youtube, believe it or not (just a still set to the audio): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnZTEHJTihw
	10:56pm stevel: Hey Cattywampus and Danne D: You'll never guess what tune I've been humming all afternoon.
	10:57pm Danne D: The Evan Funk Davies Show Theme Song? :)
	10:57pm Danne D: Does the song contain a number and a gender stevel?
	10:58pm Holly in NC: Ola Evan & all!
	10:59pm Baker's Dozen of XX Chromosomes: We are needy and luvvv attention.
	10:59pm Danne D: Como Estas Senorita Bonita Holly?
	11:00pm stevel: Sometimes i think that song carries bad luck.
	11:00pm Danne D: WOOOHOOOOOOO :D
	11:01pm Holly in NC: If you're asking if I'm well, I am, Senor Danne - gracias! ..... YESSSSSS!!!!!!
	11:01pm Carolyn: Yay!
	11:01pm stevel: The song in question raises serious questions regarding a possible nuclear conflagration.
	11:02pm stevel: Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!
	11:02pm Baker's Dozen of XX Chromosomes: [batting eyelashes comehitheringly]
	11:02pm Joe D.: a nuclear holocaust... with SEXY results.
	11:03pm randy in NC: Pretty soon, you'll have to leave off the New asterisk....
	11:04pm Danne D: naah, randy, that song never gets old! :)
	11:05pm stevel: Yeah! yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaah!
	11:06pm Holly in NC: Evan, you do know I am currently the adoptive parent of the wfmu 7" collection - thank you for so loving one of my babies!
	11:08pm Calgon Bath Beads: GIVE THOSE TICKETS AWAY, SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:08pm Danne D: whoa, Bad Manners!
	11:08pm Joe D.: Hub City Stompers are from NEW BRUNSWICK!!!! (New Jersey)
	11:08pm Danne D: 8( there's really no way I could make it though as I wouldn't be able to get there before 10-10:15 at the very earliest :(
	11:10pm Danne D: New Brunswick is the Hub City of New Jersey :) That's all that really matters.
	11:11pm Joe D.: New Brunswick is also known as the "Hub City". It is my understanding that Boston is known more simply as "The Hub" of what, I can't imagine.
	11:12pm Joe D.: on either account, really
	11:13pm Sybil: of the universe, Joe.
	11:15pm Danne D: Red Sox finally underway again Evan. Still 0-0 - top 5. Beckett's been taken out b/c of the long rain delay so the middling effort is all I get - no win for me :(
	11:16pm N.B.: New Brunswick sits at a transportation crossroads in NJ. It's on the Northeast corridor railroad line and is near several major highways including the Turnpike, Route 1, Route 18, Route 287.
	11:17pm Sybil: That reminds me, I don't know why, of my subway trip home tonight. The conductor kept announcing that we were being held in the station ("momentarily" natch) because of a train behind us. I still don't get it.
	11:17pm Danne D: you can also get a good 'boli there.
	11:18pm Albert E. of N.J.: Space-time is more complex than we know, Sybil
	11:19pm Danne D: Maybe it was a transfer thing Sybil?
	11:20pm Sybil: Ah, Albert. I knew you were probably listening. I asked Heisenberg, nut you know how he is.
	11:20pm efd: I guess my fabled Bostoncentricity got the better of me. Thanks for the correction! Danne, thanks for the Sox update.
	11:21pm Albert E. of N.J.: Yes, personality issues, don't I know it.
	11:21pm efd: All the smarty-pantses listen to my show, obvs.
	11:21pm Sybil: No, Danne, it was a train behind us on the same track. One with enormous gravitational influence, I'm guessing.
	11:22pm Albert E. of N.J.: Who you callin' shmartypantses.
	11:25pm osvi: Gonna go see Mantles and Crystal Stilts in S.F. this weekend...
	11:27pm efd: excellent Osvi, that should be a great show!
	11:27pm Danne D: Maybe it's a switching issue Sybil? Maybe there was a crash scheduled for that moment but the other train was late?
	11:28pm efd: Danne, you're trying to apply logic to an illogical situation.
	11:28pm Sybil: You may be onto something, Danne. Dang, I just hate to miss a scheduled crash.
	11:29pm Spock: Highly illogical.
	11:30pm Danne D: my other guess might be if it has to do with the electricity flow in the system or something like that - and there needing to have the cars positioned in a certain way that's more efficient in terms of energy?
	11:32pm Danne D: Maybe you were just doing it wrong, Sybil: http://www.wikihow.com/Ride-the-New-York-City-Subway
	11:32pm Joe D.: I'm pretty sure the NYC subway system is a giant negative energy antenna, like in Ghostbusters. The regular laws of physics just don't apply.
	11:32pm Carmichael: Hi Mr. Funk and other citizens.
	11:34pm The Sounds of Today: Quite a newbin show since the first set!
	11:34pm Holly in NC: Some awesome new music, Evan- thanks for sharing! (whole last set, plus adore the touch me nots, too)
	11:35pm Danne D: I like that new Renegades song, Evan :)
	11:37pm Sybil: The song by Les Breastfeeders is suppposedly available for download at their website http://www.lesbreastfeeders.ca/
	11:37pm Danne D: Good luck with Lackey Evan - let me know if you want to start accumulating Red Sox pitchers ;)
	11:38pm The Sounds of Today: Evan is no Lackey! lol
	11:39pm efd: that just goes to show you how desperate I am, me picking up Lackey! I can't stand that guy. Hey Carmichael, nice to see you here. Yeah, so much new stuff - I've got about 5x more music than I can get to, as per usual.
	11:39pm Carmichael: Well gaddamit, glad you played the renegades, pissed that I missed.
	11:40pm 13 Women: There was only one man around, and Carmichael wasn't it.
	11:40pm Carmichael: Hey efd, I'm hanging out late night, nothing to do. So I'm absorbing the music ...
	11:41pm Sybil: (BTW I believe "400 milles" traslates to "400 miles" - the singer seemed to be saying he had run 400 miles to be in someone's arms. But I can barely follow Quebecois, so who knows.)
	11:42pm Carmichael: Story of my life, 13 ...
	11:42pm Danne D: Maybe this will help Sybil? :) http://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/civil/subway3.htm
	11:43pm efd: ah, Sybil, that makes more sense. I was influenced by "Milles Bornes," the popular French card game. Popular 30 or 40 years ago, at least.
	11:45pm Holly in NC: Oh this is a great lp! Had no idea it'd been reissued. Good call by Mexican Summer!
	11:46pm Carmichael: Wow. Never heard this before. This is why I listen.
	11:47pm efd: This was new to me as well- I actually have a different version of "Life Child" on a comp, but didn't realize it was a cover.
	11:49pm Danne D: I played Milles Bornes in college EFD :)
	11:50pm The 70s: Ramases did a couple of albums then disappeared. It was later found he'd killed himself a very few years after dropping out of music. Check wikipedia etc.
	11:51pm Danne D: close the book on Cahill - now to the scary Oakland bull-pen. Really should get 2 wins tonight when I have 4 Starting Pitchers going :(
	11:52pm Holly in NC: Trivia - Godley & Creme produced & played on Ramases' lp. And Ramases is not to be confused with Rameses, the dang Tarheel mascot ;-)
	11:53pm efd: yeah, and Graham Gouldman is on there too!
	11:54pm Danne D: You get any of those crazy tornadoes by you Holly?
	11:54pm Danne D: BoSox got a man to 3rd base but could score. 0-0 after 6.
	11:56pm Carmichael: No Kidding, Holly? I guess I have to step up my 10cc fandom! Godley & Creme did pretty friggin OK on their own.
	11:56pm Holly in NC: @Danne - Luckily, none here in Durham - thanks for asking! Some areas of Raleigh were hit hard - in fact Shaw University had to end their year early.
	11:56pm Danne D: and let's not forget "Cry" Carmichael :) well they are closing the coffee shop so I gotta go - thanks for yet another great show Evan :)
	11:57pm Sybil: Bye Danne! Good midnight everyone and thanks to efd for all the new music! ;)
	11:58pm Danne D: Yeah I have family in Raleigh - my brother's neighbor's house was wrecked and there was lots of other ones all around where they live (my sis, my bro, and their families and my mom live down there) - scary. Glad you fared okay :) Now I really gotta go!! G'night all :)
	11:59pm Carmichael: Well, here's the credit for Space Hymns: Eric Stewart - Lead guitar and moog synthesizer Lol Creme - Lead guitar and moog synthesizer Kevin Godley - Drums & flutes Graham Gouldman - Guitar & bass guitar Martin Raphael - Sitar Ramases and his wife Sel sing all songs.
	12:07am miketp: some great tunes for my short drive home from lyndhurst thanks funk ah doodle doo
	12:07am osvi: Ah...always wondered about that beat.
	2:32am Aharon: After after after the fact...very glad you played Tyler Jon Tyler last week. Loved the song and went to their show in a Chinatown karaoke bar; it was great.
	12:53am Wrong Words: Happy to be played in awesome company such as Dwight Twilley!
	11:32am calzone!: EFD. Just reviewing your show via the archive...another gem! I had not heard/thought of that Classic Ruins tune since I last played it on my College Radio show in the 80's. 'Claws' got a quite a bit of airplay on WBNY in Buffalo. I recall meeting Chuck Warner at either CMJ or the New Music Seminar many years ago and remember his unbridled enthusiasm! Thanks for digging up 'Geraldine...' and rekindling this magic memory!
