Listener comments!
	9:04pm Stevel: Hammersmith is somewhat danceable, in a disco sort of way. Producer? Let's geek out!!!
	♥ 9:08pm efd: hey Stevel! That Hammersmith record was produced by the band's lead guitarist Dan Lowe.
	9:09pm Stevel: It definitely had a beat, as does this set! I'd say disco night still echoes in your soul.
	♥ 9:11pm efd: Always!
	♥ 9:12pm Figgsrock: did you know that Cozi is showing Avengers reruns on weekends?
	9:15pm JakeGould: Oh Duffo. You are trying so hard.
	♥ 9:15pm efd: I did not! Is Cozi like MeTV or Antenna?
	♥ 9:16pm Figgsrock: It is! It's one of the WNBC digital channels. 4.2 I think. The reruns are at like 1am on sat and Sun nights.
	♥ 9:18pm Figgsrock: Holy crap. Off the Record? I played the vinyl that show for one week in one of my P/T on air jobs.
	♥ 9:18pm efd: yeah, I blew it though! I cued up side four instead of side one!
	♥ 9:20pm Figgsrock: Oh no! Is there an easy point to fade it out?
	♥ 9:24pm efd: ehh, kind of. ;)
	9:24pm Stevel: These are the times that try a DJ's soul...
	9:25pm Stevel: Hail, master!
	♥ 9:26pm Figgsrock: That worked. I suppose you could have chopped the end of Zero, but that would be a crime. If that's from 1989, it must have been made when Driven Out was a big rock hit.
	♥ 9:26pm efd: Figgs, I've got the WW One Satellite Delivery Schedule for the week of April 24 1989 here if you have any questions.
	9:26pm johnk77: the fixx were great live in 1983 also seemed like down to earth lads offstage
	♥ 9:27pm efd: yeah "Driven Out" was in segment 2. :)
	♥ 9:29pm Figgsrock: EFD, that would be great. I need to know when The spots are in Power Cuts.
	♥ 9:31pm Figgsrock: Oh the fear I had the first time I had to time out to Rockline live. The credits are amazing!
	9:32pm ceedubbled: best part of the show - the 9:30ish cut to the theme song!
	9:39pm Chris M.: i love the air horn
	9:41pm Stevel: Looking... That's pretty cheesy. I fully approve.
	9:43pm herb.nyc: Yeah, Paranoid Style is real hot! Sounds like a sped up Allo Darlin.
	♥ 9:59pm melinda: I missed the air horn.
	10:05pm herb.nyc: Aside- since Evan's Nielsen ratings are so high, let's muck w them by not tuning in next week. Instead, let's see LUSH at Terminal 5 instead. And instead of paying retail, look at StubHub's very low prices. I and friends will be there (we're chumps & paid full retail). I think Evan will understand.
	10:07pm herb.nyc: Radar Eye - palindromic band name.
	♥ 10:08pm efd: oh I love a good bargain!
	10:15pm JakeGould: An educated consumer is our best customer.
	10:27pm JakeGould: Re-CD mixup: Pobody’s Nerfect!
	♥ 10:29pm efd: very true!
	10:32pm Eddy in Australia: Sorry to be a lurker but I had to chime in with a quick note on Chook Race: their name rhymes with book, not juke. it's Australian diminutive slang for a chicken. Go figure.
	10:35pm jon: hi efd. mind opening show once again. thnx
	♥ 10:35pm efd: ah! Thanks Eddy, I'm always happy to get pronunciation corrections. Resume lurking!
	10:36pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: Pffffpphht! Those tickets cost less than the 1991/1992 prices I paid to see them in NYC back in the day!
	♥ 10:52pm Stevel: Holy crud, are The Fallen Leaves good!
	♥ 10:54pm efd: yes they are!
	10:59pm herb.nyc: @JakeG- ya hafta spend $ to save $.
	11:04pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: Too bad I had to reschedule some other paid moonlighting gig to that exact night… sad etherial trombone
	♥ 11:07pm Stevel: Slow Motion Man sounds a bit Heat of the Moment.
	♥ 11:13pm Stevel: Droneabilly/tm efd
	♥ 11:29pm Figgsrock: EFD, I played the full "Midnight at the Oasis" as part of a Yacht Rock I did Sunday, and I half expected to hear your voice say "ticket" at some point.
	11:33pm Loretta: hi Evan & all listeners! missed most of the show tonight......well, to the archives!!!!! it is such a fantastic night here in south FL ~ made it hard to come back home. maybe there is a way to use my cell phone & 'blue link' to get this show in the car.. ?!?
	♥ 11:33pm efd: haha, @Figgsrock! I should have snuck in and got on the mic!
	♥ 11:34pm efd: @Loretta, if you have an iPhone or Android phone you can download the free WFMU app and (probably) listen in your car!
	11:41pm Loretta: @ Evan, that definitely sounds doable ( even for me)!LOL I have the app on a Samsung Galaxy & the rest of the info I'll get from the car manual & see if I can connect via blue tooth. Thanks Evan, now I have a plan!!!
	♥ 11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...out of lurky to say great Thx efd...
	♥ 11:55pm efd: thanks RRN63, and thanks everyone else!
	11:56pm Carmichael: @Loretta, I do that all the time. Unlimited data and bluetooth means FMU all the time!
	11:57pm Carmichael: And heya efd!
	♥ 11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: My car evidently has rudimentary Bluetooth. I can make calls but cannot stream audio from the phone. Have a good week, efd and all!
	♥ 11:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: I can hook up a USB cable and play mp3 files off the phone, so there's that.
