Listener comments!
	9:03pm JakeGould: Whoa… What just happened?
	♥ 9:05pm efd: the right channel on TT3 was very low and this is a long-ish song so I restarted it but I didn't want to come on mic so I just faded up my music bed for a few seconds while I re-cued the record.
	9:05pm asheville jon: Good evening! No mistaking the oblivion express funky groove sound
	9:05pm Sybil: Perfect, EFD!
	9:07pm JakeGould: Okay.
	9:08pm Michael from the Left Coast: Brian Augur! Someone I know went to see him the other night (has two of his children playing in the band now)

	9:15pm james: \m/
	♥ 9:16pm Irwin: This had better be the full 11-minute version of "Time."
	♥ 9:17pm efd: I would play nothing less, Irwin!
	♥ 9:17pm efd: 11:57, I believe, according to my handwritten note on the LP at least.
	9:18pm james: psychadelicized
	♥ 9:18pm Irwin: Drums: Brian Keenan (1943–1985). Follow his amazing patterns and fills. And ignore the friggin' cowbell.
	9:18pm Stevel: Irwin's vigilance, if unnecessary, is greatly appreciated.
	♥ 9:19pm Figgsrock: So glad this is the lp version.
	♥ 9:19pm efd: just the accents alone are killer.
	9:20pm Stevel: Very difficult to ignore the cb, but will endeavor.
	9:21pm Michael from the Left Coast: Brian Keenan was tremendous!
	9:25pm Bob Ham: No need for me to ever do LSD now that I've heard this.
	9:26pm greyhoos: Full length album version, yes!!!
	♥ 9:29pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I don't need to try that LSD stuff umm...either.
	9:30pm Bob Ham: Me?
	♥ 9:30pm DonJuanTijuana: Hey EFD!
	♥ 9:34pm efd: @Bob I was including you in that 4-count, yes.
	9:34pm Loretta: hi Evan..... I absolutely love that chambers brothers track! wow takes me back to the LSD days. & when I saw the title of this set it reminded me of the opening line in the Teenage Lust show: 'ready or not here comes lust'!!!!!
	9:35pm JakeGould: Bassists tend to like me… :/
	♥ 9:36pm Uncle Michael: Ronald and Ernie Isley are among the best singers and guitar players (respectively) to ever stride the earth.
	♥ 9:46pm Uncle Michael: Did I just listen to the Chambers Brothers and Post about the Isley Brothers? Yes, yes I did.
	♥ 9:47pm efd: as long as you know what you're doing, UM.
	♥ 9:47pm Uncle Michael: I know I'm embarrassing myself!
	9:47pm Michael from the Left Coast: UM, that cowbell is getting to you
	♥ 9:49pm Uncle Michael: Oak Park's finest!
	♥ 9:51pm Uncle Michael: Are there any songs about buildings or food?
	♥ 9:54pm Uncle Michael: Confirmed: My copy of the Freakbeat Scene "Wooden Spoon" sounds good.
	♥ 9:55pm efd: yeah that version i played just sounded muddy and poorly transferred to me.
	9:56pm herb.nyc: was John Moen in Dharma Bums, mid80s band?
	♥ 9:57pm Uncle Michael: I guess I first heard Alejandro in Rank and File.
	♥ 9:58pm Figgsrock: Hey EFD, Josh Kantor is coming down for at least one of those Minus 5 gigs.

	♥ 9:59pm Dominick: Yes! Willy!
	♥ 10:01pm Uncle Michael: @Figgsrock, going to the Boston Calling shows in May?
	10:01pm mb: I lost my Mink DeVille records, but now I'm wondering if I filed them under D?
	♥ 10:04pm efd: could be, mb!
	♥ 10:05pm Figgsrock: @Uncle Michael: no, I don't see any reason to go to a fest when I just want to see Buffalo Tom.
	♥ 10:06pm Uncle Michael: It's a shame I'm not likely to make it to any of their dates next year after the record comes out.
	10:12pm Scraps: hey pezband again!
	10:14pm Michael from the Left Coast: Steve Mack knows how to do it--always leave them wanting more
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: Not enough songs about craft supplies, I always say. Too bad that one cut off :(
	10:15pm peter: fine selection of tunes....i especially liked hearing Alejandro Escovedo well...and the Chambers Bros. ....and Mink
	♥ 10:15pm chris_in_space: For life's technical difficulties, I always keep a copy of Big Dipper's "All Going Out Together" at the ready, just in case.
	10:17pm geezerette: Not ready!!!...but,DAMN this is a great record!!!
	♥ 10:17pm efd: alright, I think I've got the whole Stag song now.
	10:18pm Hoboken Jack: Maybe Zaremba somehow boobytrapped that "Bedazzler" file.
	10:19pm Hoboken Jack: But EFD and the Bedazzler cannot be denied!! Loving this song.
	♥ 10:20pm efd: always my pleasure to have you tuned in, Jack!
	♥ 10:21pm efd: (alla the resta youse too, of course... but especially Jack)
	10:21pm peter: so, this time it worked.....was a clip from this song used for an ad?
	♥ 10:21pm Uncle Michael: I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, like the Bedazzler!
	♥ 10:23pm Uncle Michael: Denim Child is certified WFMU gold. It's a hit.
	♥ 10:24pm efd: @peter not sure if that song is in an ad but I don't think so?
	10:25pm Kat in Chicago: And now, a song about fabric. It's like Evan got a sponsorship from Jo-Ann's.
	♥ 10:26pm efd: hahaah Kat!
	10:26pm Kat in Chicago: Got any songs about yarn?
	♥ 10:27pm efd: [runs to the library for a copy of "silver thread and golden needles"]
	♥ 10:28pm Uncle Michael: Play some Jim Crochet.
	10:28pm geezerette: YAH YAH YAH !!!
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: Glue fits the theme too
	10:31pm peter: Personality Crisis.....I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night....same music, for the most part, different lyrics
	10:34pm Listener Julian: That last one's a nice complement to that Motorhead song.
	♥ 10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...scours brain for fabric puns...nary a stitch...) Lovin' it efd - TY.
	♥ 10:37pm Uncle Michael: The Weavers The Knitters
	♥ 10:37pm Uncle Michael: Golden Loom by Dylan
	♥ 10:39pm Uncle Michael: Goodnight, you've been a lovely crowd! Tip your wait-staff!
	10:39pm Howard F: Good evening friends!
	10:45pm herb.nyc: Ooh. I be playing The Hidden Cameras debut recently. So gay-centric and beautiful.
	♥ 10:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wow...nice to hear BÖC. I wasn't familiar with that one at all.
	11:00pm elsickdude: shana falana-related to Lola Heatherton,baby?
	11:00pm Kat in Chicago: I love that one because of Patti
	11:13pm mcginniwa in wellington, nz: Bic Runga? Are you trying to kill me? I listen to you NJ freaks to avoid this stuff!
	♥ 11:14pm Kat in Chicago: Ken's been playing Bic Runga a lot too
	♥ 11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I wonder what year 'So Hard...' was exactly. Decca rep: 'Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr. Epstein.'
	♥ 11:17pm efd: ha! sorry about that, mcginniwa!
	11:17pm mcginniwa in wellington, nz: ...from a freak in NZ
	♥ 11:18pm efd: @RRN63 per the CD liner notes that song came out in ''64
	11:21pm mcginniwa in wellington, nz: Sometimes text really kills a joke. As does self-doubt.
	♥ 11:22pm Kat in Chicago: More robot voices omg
	♥ 11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheers efd. (It didn't take Decca long to mildly regret passing on The Beatles. George tipped them to The Stones...)
	11:22pm eye in the sky: Uh oh more robots!
	11:25pm Michael from the Left Coast: Cut Above the REst is probably overlooked because Brian Connolly's vocals were wiped and he had left the band when the album was released
	♥ 11:33pm efd: ah, that would explain it! and also no doubt relates to the lack of hits as well.
	11:34pm Ilya from Saratov: Hello all! Beautiful dense sound!
	♥ 11:37pm efd: Hello Ilya! Glad you're enjoying it!
	11:47pm mcginniwa in wellington, nz: Apologies for killing the conversation. To be clear, I love the show and WFMU is ace.
	♥ 11:49pm efd: no offense taken, mcginniwa! And it usually quiets down around this time anyway as the locals drift off to sleep. I'm not holding you responsible. :)
	♥ 11:50pm Kat in Chicago: No worries mcginniwa! I expect Ms. Runga's music is more ubiquitous there than here.
	♥ 11:52pm Kat in Chicago: and Evan's right, it's getting close to many of our bedtimes :)
	♥ 11:53pm Kat in Chicago: I think it's awesome that we have Russia and NZ in the house
	♥ 11:54pm efd: YES me too! Love it.
