Listener comments!
	9:03pm P-90: Yo, Evan "Funk"! How's it hangin"?
	9:04pm Holly in NC: Good evening, efd!
	9:04pm Uncle Michael: Sidling in...
	9:08pm Holly in NC: Godfathers !!!!! Dear lord my copy of this is so beat , I sooo overplayed.
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Huey!
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Alex too!
	9:21pm Courtney: Valley Lodge on one of my fave shows is righteously gonna pick up a crappy day!!!! Stoked!
	9:22pm Frisco Squid: Oh dear, I hear Huey Lewis!
	9:23pm Uncle Michael: McPhee's steel on that was nice.
	9:23pm efd: uh, I believe you mean Hugh Cregg!
	9:25pm efd: it's OK though, he wasn't singing one of his own dumb songs.
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: hey man...the heart of rock and roll is the beat'n
	9:28pm efd: yeah yeah
	9:28pm Mildred: tweeds! I'm having a flashback.
	9:29pm Frisco Squid: "born Hugh Anthony Cregg III; July 5, 1950" I never knew! Learn something new every day.
	9:40pm Loretta: Hi Evan... lovin' the show tonight!
	9:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: Nice to see former Slade members up to something new and tuneful.
	9:43pm Santos L Halper: Don't know these guys, but they sound pretty great.
	9:44pm efd: they ARE pretty great!
	9:45pm 12539: I love a joyful background singer.
	9:45pm jmd: I agree exactly with what Santos said! Rockin'!
	9:46pm efd: haha, well done Barkevious. Hi Loretta! Thanks for listening! And hi/thanks to U. Michael, Mildred, P-go, Holly, Courtney, jmd, 12539, and all of you who have not made yourselves known to me!
	9:47pm Barkevious Shabazz: Guitar sound pretty tops.
	9:48pm Dr. Goot: Sveet, danke!
	9:51pm apl: whoa ... nice sound!
	9:52pm dick shitblast: Damn, these guys are really good!
	9:53pm efd: YES THEY ARE!!
	9:53pm efd: why is everyone so surprised that I'd be having a band that is really good playing live on my show? :D
	9:54pm party sub: he wasn't lying when he said they'd be playing hits. great stuff
	9:57pm Holly in NC: I love, love Valley Lodge. Is it odd that I think that whoever in the band is doing backing vox sounds a lot like Toody Cole (Dead Moon, Pierced Arrows) ? I know genders diverge...
	9:58pm efd: Phil's voice is pan-gender, and I don't think he'd mind me saying that.
	10:04pm Holly in NC: I heartily applaud Phil's pan-gender vocals! On 'All my Loving' he was more reminiscent of Scissor Sisters. Yes, I like Scissor Sisters.
	10:09pm Droll: I knew this was Mike Sin engineering before I looked because it sounds like a fully mastered album. Best staff engineer by 6-9dB.
	10:11pm Droll: ...and the band isn't doing too badly, either.
	10:11pm Holly in NC: This WILL be added to the FMA, yes?
	10:13pm efd: Yes it will!
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: Does Tragedy have an umlaut?
	10:23pm efd: I don't think they need one!
	10:25pm Droll: Cassettes Vs. MySpace -- the ultimate futility smackdown!
	10:29pm Pine: I've got this theory that it is the 80's again. The 80's with vidphones.
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: I think they should have one over the g.
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: I really enjoyed your guests, Evan. I'm calling it an evening. Night all.
	10:40pm efd: thanks UM! See you Friday.
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: Great. I'm giving JFK a big sendoff.
	10:41pm efd: oh boy.
	10:48pm Droll: Blowfly WILL be added to the FMA, yes?
	10:52pm Michael from the Left Coast: Really?! Autotune on Agnetha? Is that really necessary?
	10:55pm Droll: [weeping on MftLC's shoulder] They use autotune like ketchup or ranch dressing.
	10:55pm efd: yeah, there's no call for that.
	10:58pm P-90: @Michael: I was just thinking the same thing....is that sound so "now" that even really professional singers have to use it to sound like real groovy, with-it, swingers? And: won't autotuned tracks sound real dated and passe in just a few years?
	10:58pm Droll: ...and don't get me started on loudness wars. I refer back to my just-tuned-in comment about Mike Sin's use of dynamics and natural sound. Luckily I need to make dinner now, so that's all I can rant now.
	11:00pm P-90: @Droll: "like ketchup or ranch dressing" ha ha
	11:09pm Michael from the Left Coast: and unfortunate
	11:10pm Michael from the Left Coast: and unfortunate
	11:12pm Alex of Chicago: there must have been some shameful ticket hoarders in the past
	11:31pm efd: Some people are very persistent.
	11:35pm Holly in NC: Heh. I dozed off for a sec and snapped back to the dubby Factory Floor - in my twilight state I thought was listening to Thomas S's Sunday am show (his bed music is all dub), momentarily completely disoriented. The Mighty Pope is grounding me :-)
	11:36pm Alex of Chicago: @efd You said Mike Doughty is a friend? I really enjoyed his book. I'll try to see him if he comes around.
	11:38pm efd: ha, I figured that would get your attention Holly! Alex, he's a friend of the station - I don't know him, but I know he's been down here a couple of times. I wouldn't be surprised if he does a Chicago show.
	11:44pm Holly in NC: Both Gap Dream & Cosmonauts efd sessions @ FMA are SO GOOD, anyone who missed the show needs to go dl/listen asap
	11:44pm DAVID: REGATONE AIRHORNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
	11:45pm Alex of Chicago: still kind of blown away by how much gap dreams's sound has evolved in just a year or two. fun to watch
	11:50pm efd: Alex, totally agree!
