	9:26pm redkayak: Season's greetings, all!
	9:28pm Mailman Tom: "Rock Hard" the music video by Suzi Quartro is a must see !
	♥ 9:28pm efd: hi everyone! Glad you're enjoying the show - will try to comment where I , but I wasn't kidding about the high stress level of this show!
	9:31pm weedy j: smoke a joint
	♥ 9:31pm Uncle Michael: chamomile tea, Evan
	9:32pm IFisher: Smooth enough from my precinct, EFD, just fine
	9:32pm johnk77: i ain't living long like this written by rodney crowell waylon's version on grand theft auto V
	9:32pm weedy j: you can trigger a freak out if you don't dose the chamomile perfectly
	♥ 9:33pm Figgsrock: Well EFD, I had forgotten about that Dream Syndicate reissue. So now I just sent myself an email to remember order it tomorrow when I pay bills. Thanks for costing me money yet again!
	♥ 9:33pm efd: I think the reason this show feels so stressful is that there's no wiggle room for any song selection -- they're all pre-determined and have to be played in the right sequence!
	9:37pm pervy b: lets hear more about this "wiggle room"
	9:38pm IFisher: Well at any rate I think we are frigging blessed with this set. I am pleased to suffer through any amount of dead air or whatever, g-ddamn embarrassment of riches
	9:39pm redkayak: Stress? You're making it look easy :)
	9:42pm herb.nyc: I have zero MUFFS. Taking a cue from a co-ed college football team, Muff Divers, I shall henceforth diveth. Aaaaand, I studied math at college but they didn't offer Game Theory. But at my old job, 1 of the math profs worked w Burger King on their games of chance.
	9:42pm JakeGould: Good taste as usual Mr. Davies.
	9:42pm steve: nice...
	9:42pm JakeGould: “…there's no wiggle room for any song selection -- they're all pre-determined and have to be played in the right sequence!” Or else the Earth explodes!
	♥ 9:43pm efd: pretty much, yes.
	9:45pm steve: It's like that movie, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"
	9:46pm herb.nyc: If no one (wo)mans up, efd, I will come down to 43 Montgomery next year and help you in the studio. Tho I'd only add to the stress. Never mind.
	9:47pm steve: Great list... Can't believe I still haven't picked up the Cerrone collection
	9:50pm herb.nyc: I just bought my Laura C / Michael S ticket for Jan 16. And if her 2014 record isn't on today's Best Of, I'm gonna tell "fix". Wait, I don't have her record. Never mind.
	9:50pm pervy b: those cerrone album covers have such great artwork
	10:07pm JakeGould: @steve: You mean, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down Because Bad Things Would Happen and People Would Be Upset."
	♥ 10:09pm coelacanth: greetings efd and Funkies
	♥ 10:15pm Alex of Chicago: This the stuff.
	10:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Staten Island's #2 dj winds up with the #2 single of the year on his label. How fitting! I guess this means he tries harder....
	♥ 10:20pm efd: it's only fitting!
	10:25pm herb.nyc: I really liked "just getting older". (Maybe because I am)
	10:28pm steve: yay
	10:29pm herb.nyc: Was that "September Goebbels"?
	♥ 10:30pm efd: "gurgles," I think.
	10:31pm herb.nyc: Thx- I have the (heavy) box set and will play that segment
	♥ 10:31pm Uncle Michael: rateyourmusic.com...
	10:33pm herb.nyc: Nicely done, Uncle Michael
	10:34pm steve: the double p
	10:34pm steve: Never gets old
	10:34pm APMike: This sounds familiar!
	10:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @APMike: I believe it went to #1 in Bayonne!
	10:37pm APMike: It did indeed, Todd-o-phonic Todd!
	♥ 10:39pm Uncle Michael: It's amazing how many of those bands EFD has had on this show.
	10:39pm Danne D: Hey EFD :) Hey Funk Fans :) WHOA hey Todd-o-phonic Todd and AP Mike! EFD bringing the celebrities out.
	10:40pm herb.nyc: Dumb me thought Tim Sommer wrote about Medium Medium for the Observer. But it was Liquid Liquid.
	♥ 10:40pm efd: @Uncle Michael I would have had more if quad-P hadn't shut me down!
	10:40pm APMike: Would it be wrong to say that sounded a lot like the Talking Heads? Am I dating myself?
	♥ 10:41pm coelacanth: are you sure it wasn't The The?
	♥ 10:41pm efd: @APMike They were contemporaries, so you're not off base thinking that.
	♥ 10:41pm Uncle Michael: quad-P is kind of a dick.
	10:43pm APMike: Ah! I should pay attention to the playlist.
	♥ 10:43pm Uncle Michael: Don't! It's very stressful.
	10:44pm Danne D: Kinda though AP Mike woulda hit the top singles of 2015 list, myself.
	10:44pm herb.nyc: (Really stupid joke for band name- Mick Jones Mick Jones)
	10:44pm Ice in Brooklyn: E F D Y E H
	10:46pm APMike: Or at least #2 In A Class Of Its Own Dept., @Danne D.
	♥ 10:46pm coelacanth: you can have that one. i'm going with "Mary Hartman Mary Hartman".
	♥ 10:48pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hey it's Tame Imp, er, Philwit and Pegasus.
	♥ 10:48pm coelacanth: that was like a cross between "mr.giant man" and an early Bowie tune.
	10:53pm Ice in Brooklyn: Yeh #8's
	11:00pm Danne D: :)
	♥ 11:01pm Uncle Michael: Yes. Yes.
	11:01pm Michael from the Left Coast: I've been meaning to suggest to Mitch Easter that he cover an entire Sweet album, like Desolation Boulevard by Mitch Easter--wouldn't that be great
	♥ 11:02pm efd: oh man, that would be amazing! And he's already got this one in the can!
	11:05pm APMike: I'm glad I ordered that premium.
	11:11pm V Priceless: Cool show, efd! That Strider 88 track was off the charts!
	11:14pm hey evan: get any cool xmas cards?
	♥ 11:25pm efd: hey mysterious christmas card sender! As a matter of fact I did -- one of them from you, I assume? [initials GW?]
	11:38pm Figgsrock: EFD, I imagine the AC/DC is because you got it in 2015?
	♥ 11:39pm Barkevious Shabazz: Uh oh.
	♥ 11:40pm Chop Scott: Cheers Evan!!
	♥ 11:40pm efd: hi Scott! Figgs, you are exactly correct.
	11:47pm APMike: I like that your list doesn't seem to have been influenced by current tastemakers, efd. You do your own thing!
	11:47pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan and all. It's 100 degrees here and I just got home from NYE shopping. Bummed I missed the show but wanted to say thanks for another great year of radio. When does the archive go up?
	11:48pm shut up eddy: pizzazz
	11:48pm JakeGould: Great show EFD! See you next year!
	♥ 11:48pm efd: Hi Eddy, the archive usually goes up within an hour or so after the show ends thanks to tireless volunteer Rebecca. Not sure if that timing might be affected by the holidays though.
	♥ 11:49pm efd: @APMike, le current tastemaker, c'est moi!
	11:51pm drawmark: Great show (as always) best wishes for 2016
	♥ 11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: My daughter bought a punching bag with her Christmas money. Now that she's hammering away on it like Leila Ali down in the garage, I have a chance to catch up on the show and see what's the #1 album!
	11:53pm shut up eddy: we all know its gonna be that aussie band
	11:54pm APMike: Nice Flaubert reference!
	♥ 11:55pm efd: do me a favor and change your user name, "shut up eddy"
	♥ 11:57pm Barkevious Shabazz: Great show, as per always.
	11:58pm Danne D: Congrats on getting all the way through EFD :) And thanks for yet another great year of music! Happy New Year Everyone! PS @Eddy - it's 212 degrees fahrenheit by you?!?

	9:26pm redkayak: Season's greetings, all!
	9:28pm Mailman Tom: "Rock Hard" the music video by Suzi Quartro is a must see !
	♥ 9:28pm efd: hi everyone! Glad you're enjoying the show - will try to comment where I , but I wasn't kidding about the high stress level of this show!
	9:31pm weedy j: smoke a joint
	♥ 9:31pm Uncle Michael: chamomile tea, Evan
	9:32pm IFisher: Smooth enough from my precinct, EFD, just fine
	9:32pm johnk77: i ain't living long like this written by rodney crowell waylon's version on grand theft auto V
	9:32pm weedy j: you can trigger a freak out if you don't dose the chamomile perfectly
	♥ 9:33pm Figgsrock: Well EFD, I had forgotten about that Dream Syndicate reissue. So now I just sent myself an email to remember order it tomorrow when I pay bills. Thanks for costing me money yet again!
	♥ 9:33pm efd: I think the reason this show feels so stressful is that there's no wiggle room for any song selection -- they're all pre-determined and have to be played in the right sequence!
	9:37pm pervy b: lets hear more about this "wiggle room"
	9:38pm IFisher: Well at any rate I think we are frigging blessed with this set. I am pleased to suffer through any amount of dead air or whatever, g-ddamn embarrassment of riches
	9:39pm redkayak: Stress? You're making it look easy :)
	9:42pm herb.nyc: I have zero MUFFS. Taking a cue from a co-ed college football team, Muff Divers, I shall henceforth diveth. Aaaaand, I studied math at college but they didn't offer Game Theory. But at my old job, 1 of the math profs worked w Burger King on their games of chance.
	9:42pm JakeGould: Good taste as usual Mr. Davies.
	9:42pm steve: nice...
	9:42pm JakeGould: “…there's no wiggle room for any song selection -- they're all pre-determined and have to be played in the right sequence!” Or else the Earth explodes!
	♥ 9:43pm efd: pretty much, yes.
	9:45pm steve: It's like that movie, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"
	9:46pm herb.nyc: If no one (wo)mans up, efd, I will come down to 43 Montgomery next year and help you in the studio. Tho I'd only add to the stress. Never mind.
	9:47pm steve: Great list... Can't believe I still haven't picked up the Cerrone collection
	9:50pm herb.nyc: I just bought my Laura C / Michael S ticket for Jan 16. And if her 2014 record isn't on today's Best Of, I'm gonna tell "fix". Wait, I don't have her record. Never mind.
	9:50pm pervy b: those cerrone album covers have such great artwork
	10:07pm JakeGould: @steve: You mean, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down Because Bad Things Would Happen and People Would Be Upset."
	♥ 10:09pm coelacanth: greetings efd and Funkies
	♥ 10:15pm Alex of Chicago: This the stuff.
	10:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Staten Island's #2 dj winds up with the #2 single of the year on his label. How fitting! I guess this means he tries harder....
	♥ 10:20pm efd: it's only fitting!
	10:25pm herb.nyc: I really liked "just getting older". (Maybe because I am)
	10:28pm steve: yay
	10:29pm herb.nyc: Was that "September Goebbels"?

	10:34pm APMike: This sounds familiar!
	10:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @APMike: I believe it went to #1 in Bayonne!
	10:37pm APMike: It did indeed, Todd-o-phonic Todd!
	♥ 10:39pm Uncle Michael: It's amazing how many of those bands EFD has had on this show.
	10:39pm Danne D: Hey EFD :) Hey Funk Fans :) WHOA hey Todd-o-phonic Todd and AP Mike! EFD bringing the celebrities out.
	10:40pm herb.nyc: Dumb me thought Tim Sommer wrote about Medium Medium for the Observer. But it was Liquid Liquid.
	♥ 10:40pm efd: @Uncle Michael I would have had more if quad-P hadn't shut me down!
	10:40pm APMike: Would it be wrong to say that sounded a lot like the Talking Heads? Am I dating myself?
	♥ 10:41pm coelacanth: are you sure it wasn't The The?
	♥ 10:41pm efd: @APMike They were contemporaries, so you're not off base thinking that.
	♥ 10:41pm Uncle Michael: quad-P is kind of a dick.
	10:43pm APMike: Ah! I should pay attention to the playlist.
	♥ 10:43pm Uncle Michael: Don't! It's very stressful.
	10:44pm Danne D: Kinda though AP Mike woulda hit the top singles of 2015 list, myself.
	10:44pm herb.nyc: (Really stupid joke for band name- Mick Jones Mick Jones)
	10:44pm Ice in Brooklyn: E F D Y E H
	10:46pm APMike: Or at least #2 In A Class Of Its Own Dept., @Danne D.

	♥ 10:48pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hey it's Tame Imp, er, Philwit and Pegasus.
	♥ 10:48pm coelacanth: that was like a cross between "mr.giant man" and an early Bowie tune.
	10:53pm Ice in Brooklyn: Yeh #8's
	11:00pm Danne D: :)
	♥ 11:01pm Uncle Michael: Yes. Yes.
	11:01pm Michael from the Left Coast: I've been meaning to suggest to Mitch Easter that he cover an entire Sweet album, like Desolation Boulevard by Mitch Easter--wouldn't that be great
	♥ 11:02pm efd: oh man, that would be amazing! And he's already got this one in the can!
	11:05pm APMike: I'm glad I ordered that premium.
	11:11pm V Priceless: Cool show, efd! That Strider 88 track was off the charts!
	11:14pm hey evan: get any cool xmas cards?
	♥ 11:25pm efd: hey mysterious christmas card sender! As a matter of fact I did -- one of them from you, I assume? [initials GW?]
	11:38pm Figgsrock: EFD, I imagine the AC/DC is because you got it in 2015?
	♥ 11:39pm Barkevious Shabazz: Uh oh.
	♥ 11:40pm Chop Scott: Cheers Evan!!
	♥ 11:40pm efd: hi Scott! Figgs, you are exactly correct.
	11:47pm APMike: I like that your list doesn't seem to have been influenced by current tastemakers, efd. You do your own thing!
	11:47pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan and all. It's 100 degrees here and I just got home from NYE shopping. Bummed I missed the show but wanted to say thanks for another great year of radio. When does the archive go up?
	11:48pm shut up eddy: pizzazz
	11:48pm JakeGould: Great show EFD! See you next year!
	♥ 11:48pm efd: Hi Eddy, the archive usually goes up within an hour or so after the show ends thanks to tireless volunteer Rebecca. Not sure if that timing might be affected by the holidays though.
	♥ 11:49pm efd: @APMike, le current tastemaker, c'est moi!
	11:51pm drawmark: Great show (as always) best wishes for 2016
	♥ 11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: My daughter bought a punching bag with her Christmas money. Now that she's hammering away on it like Leila Ali down in the garage, I have a chance to catch up on the show and see what's the #1 album!
	11:53pm shut up eddy: we all know its gonna be that aussie band
