	♥ 9:28pm chad from oregon: Station To Station and Va Va Va Voom each also happened to be the opening songs for EFD's tributes to them last year! (I just happened to be revisiting the archive page as it was playing. My memory isn't that on)

	9:42pm JakeGould: @efd: OH MY GOD! I made a mistake on the Internet! Dammit.

	9:46pm Stevel: Pretty sure Jake's supposed to know all of the stupid stuff.
	♥ 9:51pm Uncle Michael: I thought that was my job.
	9:57pm JakeGould: @efd: What Stevel said. I will be holding a press conference tomorrow regarding this—and the British MI6 briefing—against me.

	9:58pm JakeGould: I adhere to the “Plan, Do, Check, Act, Facepalm, Cry in Corner” management model.

	10:26pm Scraps deSelby: Wm. Berger's band!

	♥ 10:28pm Glenn L: Close Wm Berger was never in Fly Ashtray. Wm's band was Uncle Wiggly w/members of Fly Ashtray.
	♥ 10:30pm Figgsrock: Boy, every time I hear an Eyelids song my life gets a tiny bit better.
	10:30pm Scraps: efd: you're right, and what's more, I always screw up Fly Ashtray and Uncle Wiggly, for twenty+ years. I don't know why
	10:31pm Scraps: Probably because what Glenn said....
	10:36pm Scraps: I always read "we buy everything you have", adding mentally "wholesale"
	♥ 10:37pm Chop Scott: EFD--Listening as always! Cheers!!
	♥ 10:37pm chad from oregon: You had me at "booty tracks".
	10:41pm ice in Bklyn: Kevin Failure also has a show Thursday nite in Bushwick
	♥ 10:48pm efd: thanks ice!
	11:12pm ice in Bklyn: No prob. I'm extra excited because it's my bday and I get to go! Kevin's wfmu guest show on Russian punk is still an archive favorite.
	11:13pm ice in Bklyn: The rain is causing some fm interference tonite..
	11:14pm Scraps: Sounds okay, if post-punk is what they're supposed to sound like. If it's supposed to sound like honky-tonk or Bakersfield sound, then not.
	11:18pm ice in Bklyn: Kevin Failure show is at trans-pecos, not exactly bushwick, my bad. With Richard Papiercuts (!) and others..
	11:23pm Scraps: Richard Papiercuts: There were no results matching the query. Shoot!
	11:33pm Scraps: I like songs that start with a drum fill.
	♥ 11:34pm efd: got another one coming up!
	♥ 11:35pm efd: a pretty short one though (the fill, not the song)
	11:35pm Scraps: In fact, Track 7 reminded me (at the start) of a Sloan song, "Autobiography"
	♥ 11:35pm nixxon: Damn - I always miss the beginning of this show. One day, Evan, One day...
	11:35pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks for the reminder about Tuns, I was out of commission when the album finally came out! And the Seams vocalist has a slight Al Stewart thing going on.
	11:35pm Scraps: Yay!
	♥ 11:41pm efd: Yeah, that Tuns album is solid! I did not detect that Stewartian quality in the Seams' singer, will have to listen more closely next time.
	11:44pm northguineahills: Wow, haven't heard anything on Tempa Recs in almost 7 years!
	11:44pm ice in Bklyn: @scraps, that's because it's under dick papercuts. We can expect something unusual.
	11:45pm northguineahills: I'm pretty sure I have a record from a 90s indie band called seam, a little different from the seams....
	11:46pm Scraps: Seam was a Chapel Hill band
	11:49pm northguineahills: Thanks Scraps. Until I get my own apt again, my recs are in storage, so, I can't reference them.
	11:53pm Scraps: At least for the first album, they had Mac McCaughan and members of Velocity Girl and Bitch Magnet
	♥ 11:53pm tuner fish: excellent show
	11:54pm Scraps: They were other Seam cds, but I only have the first
	11:55pm Scraps: Thank you efd!
	♥ 11:56pm coelacanth∅: indeed. -Thanks Evan. tchau
	♥ 11:56pm efd: my pleasure, Scraps & all! Thanks for listening and commenting.
	11:56pm northguineahills: Crap, it's almost midnight, time to lose consciousness. Thanks efd!
