WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from March 15, 2017

Listener comments!
	9:02pm Santos L Halper: Boogie Funderland!
	9:06pm βrian: @Santos: Have you planted your flag on a new continent?
	9:07pm The Administration: Unfortunately, Boogie Corporation is no longer able to accept the payment of membership dues through the medium of footwear as our bank refuses to accept it as legal tender. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
	9:07pm Cubicle Carl: oh man this tune got my dancing shoes on
	9:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay! I'm gettin' the Mayhem thru my SFL.
	9:09pm Cheri Pi: Just what I need to power me through this wait in the airport cell phone lot
	9:10pm Cubicle Carl: Look at all those NY Rockers! I would totally find it pleasurable to spend my vacation perusing those issues.
	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How much better is this than the AC⚡DC trax ya always here??
	9:13pm Santos L. Halper: @Brian: One Nation Under a WFMU Groove (if you want it)
	9:14pm Cubicle Carl: If you are a regular listener who has never pledged, this is the marathon to start.
	9:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yeah, irregular listeners, too!
	9:16pm joe: 'ello folks
	9:17pm joe: Whoa Is Evan tapping into his personal collection for prizes ?
	9:17pm efd: this is on the premium, Joe!
	9:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes. This Swag For Life business starts @ $10/month - & giving WFMU a regular drip of cashflow is the best thing you can do for it. If everybody did their little part for that - it would big.
	9:18pm Bootsie: Liking his track!! Yours was one of the DJ premiums I picked again this year.
	9:18pm River: I'd love to be a WFMU DJ. I'd like to have a show where I play a cover by a band, then one of their originals, then a cover of that by another band, then one of that band's originals, and so on...
	9:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: River's Cover Ladder Hour!
	9:19pm joe: Ahh your premium was already secured with my Swag for Life. Get that folks that's how good EFD's premiums are I picked it sight unseen. Well worth the price of entry.
	9:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Degrees of Seperation'. Wait - that sounds familiar...have we had this convo?
	9:20pm Switchblade Batman: BENSONHURST REPRESENT!!!
	9:20pm JakeGould: Ooops! Yes!
	9:22pm River: The key would be finding covers which were the most creative deviations from the original. Animal Collective's cover of Jimmy Mack by Martha and the Vandellas might be a good start.
	9:23pm Switchblade Batman: I always thought something like MST3k with old radio shows would work well. Or like a saturday morning cartoon thing for a WFMU show
	9:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Put 'TheWhoSellOut', Kenneth Goldsmith, Vicki Bennett & Nat Roe in a blender on high...or, you know, not...
	9:26pm joe: IT's no BS either you will just come home and find random stuff in your mailbox if you do Swag For Life
	9:26pm Danne D: Woooooo goooo EFD!
	9:31pm Julie M Brooklyn: Not for nothing, but "solar flare" is in the lyrics of The Bedazzler. Are we over that? Cuz I'm not over it.
	9:31pm Mr. Domino: Evan rocks the mic!
	9:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: @River - DJ Mary Wing has a segment Three of a Kind where she picks a song and plays some covers. www.wfmu.org...
	9:33pm River: @Ken Ooh, I'll check it out. Thanks!
	9:35pm John Swartzwelder: Pat, you got a couple seconds? - John
	9:39pm Doug Schulkind: Hmmmm, I think maybe the pledge apparatus is malfunctioning. Maybe someone should give it a swift click...
	9:39pm Doug Schulkind: Oops, disregard that. Comment meant for Bodega Pop Live. But click Evan's pledg-O-meter, too!
	9:40pm Doug Schulkind: That's what I get for listening to two shows simultaneously.
	9:40pm Pat Byrne: Hey people! I'm the co-host!
	9:41pm John Swartzwelder: @wfmu gives us all ephemeral happenstance.
	9:42pm Doug Schulkind: There is a topical cream for that, Pat.
	9:43pm Doug Schulkind: I mean, John.
	9:45pm Ioannis: It's almost 4 in the morning in the city of Larissa in central Greece and a guy by the name Ioannis is listening to Wfmu's Evan Davies trying to make his nightshift a bit bearable...well it fucking works!
	9:47pm River: Oooh, thorny. A big donation comes in from the 1%er owner of a coal mine used to excavate space for Trump's border wall... Do you accept it?
	9:47pm Switchblade Batman: Yes. You use the cash for music, which jump starts the revolution @River
	9:48pm steve: lol @ the anti fantasy baseball girlfriend
	9:49pm River: I would like to think that it does, @Switchblade. I would like to think that.
	9:51pm Switchblade Batman: Me too @River me too
	9:52pm Ignore Function: Pledged!
	9:53pm Danne D: Given the baseball inclination of this shoe I think Switchblade Bartman would be an appropriate handle :)
	9:53pm Danne D: Thanks to all you wonderful pledgers :)
	9:54pm River: I mean, it's never going to be anything other than a hypothetical. Everyone knows 1% coal mine owners love terrible top40 music.
	9:56pm Switchblade Batman: That's where I think you're wrong @River. I imagine it as terrible country music, Garth Brooks, Allan Jackson, with awful commercials with Larry The Cable Guy.
	9:57pm Switchblade Batman: :Shudder
	9:59pm JakeGould: @River: If it weren’t for rich people whose opinion you might disagree with, most art in this world would not have patrons. Nuff said. Excelsior!
	9:59pm River: You're right @Switchblade. But if they and I both turn up our noses at Miley Cyrus, that means we have something in common. If they too feel that Wichita Lineman is a classic, I feel violated.
	10:00pm JakeGould: Also, rich people whose taste you agree with. Lots of moneybags out there with varied tastes.
	10:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Most people like that keep score completely differently than us Humans: they wouldn't care about Music @ all probably - except as an Investment. They would want to 'Monetize' or 'Underwrite' FMU & F it all up. No - & that's why we do this like this...
	10:05pm River: @JakeGould I'm being somewhat tongue in cheek, and appreciate that not all rich people are identical, though I do find myself drawn to art which is inherently non- or anti-commercial.
	10:05pm Danne D: MIKE :)
	10:07pm River: @JakeGould I'm not sure I agree with your patronage comment though. I don't think the very wealthy have been interested in funding new Avant Garde work for a number of decades.
	10:07pm Switchblade Batman: I'm one of those too @Pat, I heard us called Xinnals
	10:07pm KM: I'm surprised he didn't plug apmike.bandcamp.com in the comment.
	10:08pm Switchblade Batman: No, they probably LOVE Miley, but like the Hannah Montana days @river
	10:09pm PJ: Taste is no measure of one's moral qualities (there are many great artists I'm glad I don't live with), but if Satan had a show on WFMU, you can be sure I'd check it out. (They do say he has the best tunes.)
	10:09pm JakeGould: No! You can adopt inanimate objects and animals for $180. DJs and other humans go for $365 a pop! www.flickr.com...
	10:09pm River: @Switchblade Traditionalists!
	10:13pm Chop Scott: Support EFD and this insanely fantastic station. PLEDGE!!!
	10:15pm Danne D: Penn Jillette complimented my WFMU shirt when I met him after I saw Penn and Teller in Las Vegas
	10:17pm Switchblade Batman: I almost feel sorry for them @River
	10:18pm River: @PJ It's not a 100% overlap, but I think there's a Venn diagram...
	10:19pm River: @Switchblade Ironically, a wrecking ball is something WFMU is avoiding in more than one sense.
	10:20pm Ike: This is a good DJ combo! What are everyone's favorite tag teams so far? I'd say Dave Hill & Jim the Poet were a riot, as were Chris M. & Diane Kamikaze (tickle attack!!!) and Fabio & Bryce.
	10:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Joe McGasko & Michele did quite well together.
	10:21pm Switchblade Batman: Dave Hill and Jo Firestone were hilarious the other night. I liked Matt Warwick and Michelle (and Frangry), EFD and Faye were really fun to listen to.
	10:22pm JakeGould: I think the DJ combos during this marathon were top notch all around. Only a few snoozers… But that was because they were on late at night when everyone was sleeping. Ha!!!
	10:22pm River: @Ken Seconded, Joe & Michele were great.
	10:23pm Pat Byrne: Hey guys, It's me- the co-host. How're you all doing? Thanks for the pledges.
	10:24pm Switchblade Batman: Not bad Pat, I mentioned it before but I heard that we're called Xinninals because we're between X and millenials
	10:24pm JakeGould: @PatByrne: My commute home was horrible and required 3-4 train transfers. So bad that even non-English speaking passengers were literally saying “Bullshit!” What a country!
	10:25pm Switchblade Batman: Excuse the spelling.
	10:25pm River: Doing great thanks Pat! Loving the show. Pledged already, just sorry I can't give more until I get a job. I'll definitely be a swag-for-lifer when I have a regular income though.
	10:25pm Danne D: Todd And Fiveash were a lot of fun too :)
	10:25pm Switchblade Batman: Know them feels @River
	10:26pm PJ: Hi Pat - Did Springsteen discuss his all-NJ superstar project with Danzig and Ted Leo?
	10:29pm River: @Switchblade Maybe we should have a lottery syndicate. If either of us win, we'll pledge for the both of us.
	10:30pm Scraps: Mayuko and Stan were amusing and endearing
	10:31pm Switchblade Batman: If I hit the lotto I'll adopt you a DJ @River
	10:31pm JakeGould: @PatByrne: Otherwise, I can’t complain!
	10:32pm River: @Switchblade Suddenly I feel all flushed!
	10:33pm Switchblade Batman: @River Now I'm flushed.
	10:34pm Ike: @Scraps, thanks, I totally missed that one and will have to check it out! @KFHP & @River, you're right, IDK how I forgot Joe McG & Michele. Definitely a brilliant combo.
	10:34pm Scraps: i mean, Mayuko and Bob Brainen, and Mary Wing and Stan. Sheesh.
	10:35pm Scraps: ike, it didn't exist!
	10:35pm Switchblade Batman: good track @EFD
	10:36pm Scraps: but it could.
	10:36pm River: @Switchblade What a beautiful romance this could be... if only we knew the first thing about each other apart from mutual WFMU fandom. :p
	10:40pm Switchblade Batman: It would right? I never meet cool girls that are into WFMU. They're all "ooh NPR.."
	10:40pm Figgsrock: EFD, how much do I need to pledge tonight for you to play "The Bedazzler" back to back? (Mind you that I already am a swag for life member, so this would be additional cash.)
	10:42pm Carmichael: Heya Evan, Pat and anyone else hanging around.
	10:43pm Ike: @Scraps you got my hopes up there and then immediately let me down! Ha ha, that's OK, I'm sure Stan and Mary Wing is a good too. On another note, it was super weird to hear Clay Pigeon revving up John Allen & getting him all excited. Who knew that was even possible? LOL.
	10:44pm Switchblade Batman: Anyone know who Hearty White team up with?
	10:45pm River: @Switchblade I'd have thought it'd be more likely in the tri-state area. People outside that must be really into WFMU to tune in etc.
	10:45pm Alex of Chicago: Thanks, Evan and WFMU. Also, $mall ¢hange, Todd-o-phonic, Rex, Glen and X-Ray, Dave Hill and others who I forgot to attribute in my pledge.
	10:47pm Danne D: Hearty White was Bryce's emcee and they were fabulous together. Dave Hill and CC were amazing too.
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: Yeah, I'm not eligible.
	10:48pm Switchblade Batman: Nup @River. I really haven't run in to very many. But it could be the circles I run in. I tend to be the one that goes indy and weird with my music. The rest do top 40, oldies, one never listens to any thing but Iron Maiden.
	10:48pm herb.nyc: Evan got English award in 4th grade? Neat. I got Hebrew medal in 12th grade. I poop you not. As for Nachum, feh, he's dead to me (not!)
	10:50pm River: @Switchblade That's a shame. I'm British, I don't often run into WFMU fans either! Trying to spread the word though. Too good not to share.
	10:51pm Switchblade Batman: I've been working on that @river. My London people never listen to me.
	10:52pm Switchblade Batman: @River, if you click on my profile I have my twitter there. You know so we don't flood the place.
	10:53pm Danne D: Bedazzle those phones!!!
	10:53pm Ike: @DD, agreed, Hearty White MCing for Bryce last Friday was fantastic. But Dave Hill seemed a little stumped by CC from what I heard, though let's be fair, Dave had the plague, and he still did better than most would have, because CC is... like, far out, man. Really far out. @SB@10:44, last Thurs. was Chris M. MCing for Hearty. A solid combo.
	10:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Let's get bedazzled!
	10:54pm River: @Switchblade Aww. London's pretty crap anyway. Bristol is definitely the most WFMUey UK city.
	10:55pm Bootsie: Love love love this song so much!!
	10:56pm Switchblade Batman: @River, never had the pleasure of Bristol. I adored Brighton though. I would love to move there.
	10:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Radio never died it just had to transform.
	10:59pm Figgsrock: Bedazzler payment submitted, EFD
	11:00pm River: @Switchblade No twitter account listed that I can see... Maybe because I don't have an account on here(?). I'm sure I'd only disappoint anyway. :P
	11:02pm Switchblade Batman: I doubt that. @River. But you can HMU @ MyNameIsMylo. If you'd like. No worries if not.
	11:04pm Danne D: @Ike I think Dave shines in unpredictable situations. (I tell myself this on Monday's as well)
	11:04pm Pat Byrne: Co-host here- just checking in.
	11:05pm Danne D: Hiya Pat
	11:06pm Switchblade Batman: @Ike, I listened to some of the Dave and CC, Dave is great. I understand the appeal of CC but not my thing.
	11:11pm Figgsrock: Having the social media airhorn played in my honor is the highlight of my month.
	11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Feeling strong, Pat? You were co-hosting twelve hours ago. Stay hydrated!
	11:15pm Switchblade Batman: Steal coffee from the office, and use that cash for WFMU that's what I did
	11:16pm Minnesota Jeff: Switchblade Batman with a genius idea
	11:17pm Pat Byrne: "Steal coffee from the office, and use that cash for WFMU that's what I did" Hey, Switchblade- may I read this comment on air? BECAUSE I LOVE IT!!!
	11:17pm Minnesota Jeff: Heck, even if you dont work in an office. Its doubtful many offices would notice you dont work there if you walk in and snag a cuppa from their breakroom.
	11:18pm Ike: Oops I forgot the trio of Bronwyn C./Jim the Poet/Station Mgr. Ken yesterday, also fantastic. And this morning Glen Jones told John Allen a great story about how he got his start in radio on a leased-time station.
	11:25pm Pat Byrne: Pat here again.. ya'll good?!?!
	11:26pm Danne D: Not as good as you Pat :)
	11:26pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah go for it @Pat
	11:33pm Figgsrock: Nice Simpsons reference Pat!
	11:36pm Switchblade Batman: Thanks @Pat. Made my night!
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Kid is All Right.
	11:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Fortune cookie I received today: "It's not the end yet. Let's stay with it."
	11:41pm Joe B: This ELO tune was the highlight of last year's Yo La Tengo FMU fundraising show
	11:45pm Santos L Halper: This Prix album is great, pledge for it!
	11:46pm Alex of Chicago: Forgot to say thanks to Joe B. and Pat as well.
	11:46pm efd: looking forward to this year's YLT show on Saturday!
	11:46pm chris_in_space: Hey all. Joining late today. Just squeezed my pledge in. Every single Wednesday, I love being here with you all woooooot
	11:49pm Switchblade Batman: Gonna be great @EFD
	11:52pm Joe B: Staten Island's No. 2 DJ!
	12:00am Switchblade Batman: That Giant Dog Set was cray good.
	12:00am Danne D: Great job Evan and Pat :)
	12:01am Joe B: great job Evan and Pat!
	3:15am Libby: What happened to Mac (antique phonograph show)? I hope he is well.

	9:07pm Cubicle Carl: oh man this tune got my dancing shoes on
	9:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay! I'm gettin' the Mayhem thru my SFL.
	9:09pm Cheri Pi: Just what I need to power me through this wait in the airport cell phone lot
	9:10pm Cubicle Carl: Look at all those NY Rockers! I would totally find it pleasurable to spend my vacation perusing those issues.
	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How much better is this than the AC⚡DC trax ya always here??
	9:13pm Santos L. Halper: @Brian: One Nation Under a WFMU Groove (if you want it)
	9:14pm Cubicle Carl: If you are a regular listener who has never pledged, this is the marathon to start.
	9:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yeah, irregular listeners, too!
	9:16pm joe: 'ello folks
	9:17pm joe: Whoa Is Evan tapping into his personal collection for prizes ?
	9:17pm efd: this is on the premium, Joe!
	9:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes. This Swag For Life business starts @ $10/month - & giving WFMU a regular drip of cashflow is the best thing you can do for it. If everybody did their little part for that - it would big.
	9:18pm Bootsie: Liking his track!! Yours was one of the DJ premiums I picked again this year.
	9:18pm River: I'd love to be a WFMU DJ. I'd like to have a show where I play a cover by a band, then one of their originals, then a cover of that by another band, then one of that band's originals, and so on...
	9:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: River's Cover Ladder Hour!
	9:19pm joe: Ahh your premium was already secured with my Swag for Life. Get that folks that's how good EFD's premiums are I picked it sight unseen. Well worth the price of entry.
	9:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Degrees of Seperation'. Wait - that sounds familiar...have we had this convo?
	9:20pm Switchblade Batman: BENSONHURST REPRESENT!!!
	9:20pm JakeGould: Ooops! Yes!
	9:22pm River: The key would be finding covers which were the most creative deviations from the original. Animal Collective's cover of Jimmy Mack by Martha and the Vandellas might be a good start.
	9:23pm Switchblade Batman: I always thought something like MST3k with old radio shows would work well. Or like a saturday morning cartoon thing for a WFMU show
	9:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Put 'TheWhoSellOut', Kenneth Goldsmith, Vicki Bennett & Nat Roe in a blender on high...or, you know, not...
	9:26pm joe: IT's no BS either you will just come home and find random stuff in your mailbox if you do Swag For Life
	9:26pm Danne D: Woooooo goooo EFD!
	9:31pm Julie M Brooklyn: Not for nothing, but "solar flare" is in the lyrics of The Bedazzler. Are we over that? Cuz I'm not over it.
	9:31pm Mr. Domino: Evan rocks the mic!
	9:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: @River - DJ Mary Wing has a segment Three of a Kind where she picks a song and plays some covers. www.wfmu.org...
	9:33pm River: @Ken Ooh, I'll check it out. Thanks!
	9:35pm John Swartzwelder: Pat, you got a couple seconds? - John
	9:39pm Doug Schulkind: Hmmmm, I think maybe the pledge apparatus is malfunctioning. Maybe someone should give it a swift click...
	9:39pm Doug Schulkind: Oops, disregard that. Comment meant for Bodega Pop Live. But click Evan's pledg-O-meter, too!
	9:40pm Doug Schulkind: That's what I get for listening to two shows simultaneously.
	9:40pm Pat Byrne: Hey people! I'm the co-host!
	9:41pm John Swartzwelder: @wfmu gives us all ephemeral happenstance.
	9:42pm Doug Schulkind: There is a topical cream for that, Pat.
	9:43pm Doug Schulkind: I mean, John.
	9:45pm Ioannis: It's almost 4 in the morning in the city of Larissa in central Greece and a guy by the name Ioannis is listening to Wfmu's Evan Davies trying to make his nightshift a bit bearable...well it fucking works!
	9:47pm River: Oooh, thorny. A big donation comes in from the 1%er owner of a coal mine used to excavate space for Trump's border wall... Do you accept it?
	9:47pm Switchblade Batman: Yes. You use the cash for music, which jump starts the revolution @River
	9:48pm steve: lol @ the anti fantasy baseball girlfriend
	9:49pm River: I would like to think that it does, @Switchblade. I would like to think that.
	9:51pm Switchblade Batman: Me too @River me too
	9:52pm Ignore Function: Pledged!
	9:53pm Danne D: Given the baseball inclination of this shoe I think Switchblade Bartman would be an appropriate handle :)
	9:53pm Danne D: Thanks to all you wonderful pledgers :)
	9:54pm River: I mean, it's never going to be anything other than a hypothetical. Everyone knows 1% coal mine owners love terrible top40 music.
	9:56pm Switchblade Batman: That's where I think you're wrong @River. I imagine it as terrible country music, Garth Brooks, Allan Jackson, with awful commercials with Larry The Cable Guy.
	9:57pm Switchblade Batman: :Shudder
	9:59pm JakeGould: @River: If it weren’t for rich people whose opinion you might disagree with, most art in this world would not have patrons. Nuff said. Excelsior!
	9:59pm River: You're right @Switchblade. But if they and I both turn up our noses at Miley Cyrus, that means we have something in common. If they too feel that Wichita Lineman is a classic, I feel violated.
	10:00pm JakeGould: Also, rich people whose taste you agree with. Lots of moneybags out there with varied tastes.
	10:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Most people like that keep score completely differently than us Humans: they wouldn't care about Music @ all probably - except as an Investment. They would want to 'Monetize' or 'Underwrite' FMU & F it all up. No - & that's why we do this like this...
	10:05pm River: @JakeGould I'm being somewhat tongue in cheek, and appreciate that not all rich people are identical, though I do find myself drawn to art which is inherently non- or anti-commercial.
	10:05pm Danne D: MIKE :)
	10:07pm River: @JakeGould I'm not sure I agree with your patronage comment though. I don't think the very wealthy have been interested in funding new Avant Garde work for a number of decades.
	10:07pm Switchblade Batman: I'm one of those too @Pat, I heard us called Xinnals
	10:07pm KM: I'm surprised he didn't plug apmike.bandcamp.com in the comment.
	10:08pm Switchblade Batman: No, they probably LOVE Miley, but like the Hannah Montana days @river
	10:09pm PJ: Taste is no measure of one's moral qualities (there are many great artists I'm glad I don't live with), but if Satan had a show on WFMU, you can be sure I'd check it out. (They do say he has the best tunes.)
	10:09pm JakeGould: No! You can adopt inanimate objects and animals for $180. DJs and other humans go for $365 a pop! www.flickr.com...
	10:09pm River: @Switchblade Traditionalists!
	10:13pm Chop Scott: Support EFD and this insanely fantastic station. PLEDGE!!!
	10:15pm Danne D: Penn Jillette complimented my WFMU shirt when I met him after I saw Penn and Teller in Las Vegas
	10:17pm Switchblade Batman: I almost feel sorry for them @River
	10:18pm River: @PJ It's not a 100% overlap, but I think there's a Venn diagram...
	10:19pm River: @Switchblade Ironically, a wrecking ball is something WFMU is avoiding in more than one sense.
	10:20pm Ike: This is a good DJ combo! What are everyone's favorite tag teams so far? I'd say Dave Hill & Jim the Poet were a riot, as were Chris M. & Diane Kamikaze (tickle attack!!!) and Fabio & Bryce.
	10:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Joe McGasko & Michele did quite well together.
	10:21pm Switchblade Batman: Dave Hill and Jo Firestone were hilarious the other night. I liked Matt Warwick and Michelle (and Frangry), EFD and Faye were really fun to listen to.
	10:22pm JakeGould: I think the DJ combos during this marathon were top notch all around. Only a few snoozers… But that was because they were on late at night when everyone was sleeping. Ha!!!
	10:22pm River: @Ken Seconded, Joe & Michele were great.
	10:23pm Pat Byrne: Hey guys, It's me- the co-host. How're you all doing? Thanks for the pledges.
	10:24pm Switchblade Batman: Not bad Pat, I mentioned it before but I heard that we're called Xinninals because we're between X and millenials
	10:24pm JakeGould: @PatByrne: My commute home was horrible and required 3-4 train transfers. So bad that even non-English speaking passengers were literally saying “Bullshit!” What a country!
	10:25pm Switchblade Batman: Excuse the spelling.
	10:25pm River: Doing great thanks Pat! Loving the show. Pledged already, just sorry I can't give more until I get a job. I'll definitely be a swag-for-lifer when I have a regular income though.
	10:25pm Danne D: Todd And Fiveash were a lot of fun too :)
	10:25pm Switchblade Batman: Know them feels @River
	10:26pm PJ: Hi Pat - Did Springsteen discuss his all-NJ superstar project with Danzig and Ted Leo?
	10:29pm River: @Switchblade Maybe we should have a lottery syndicate. If either of us win, we'll pledge for the both of us.
	10:30pm Scraps: Mayuko and Stan were amusing and endearing
	10:31pm Switchblade Batman: If I hit the lotto I'll adopt you a DJ @River
	10:31pm JakeGould: @PatByrne: Otherwise, I can’t complain!
	10:32pm River: @Switchblade Suddenly I feel all flushed!
	10:33pm Switchblade Batman: @River Now I'm flushed.
	10:34pm Ike: @Scraps, thanks, I totally missed that one and will have to check it out! @KFHP & @River, you're right, IDK how I forgot Joe McG & Michele. Definitely a brilliant combo.
	10:34pm Scraps: i mean, Mayuko and Bob Brainen, and Mary Wing and Stan. Sheesh.
	10:35pm Scraps: ike, it didn't exist!
	10:35pm Switchblade Batman: good track @EFD
	10:36pm Scraps: but it could.
	10:36pm River: @Switchblade What a beautiful romance this could be... if only we knew the first thing about each other apart from mutual WFMU fandom. :p
	10:40pm Switchblade Batman: It would right? I never meet cool girls that are into WFMU. They're all "ooh NPR.."
	10:40pm Figgsrock: EFD, how much do I need to pledge tonight for you to play "The Bedazzler" back to back? (Mind you that I already am a swag for life member, so this would be additional cash.)
	10:42pm Carmichael: Heya Evan, Pat and anyone else hanging around.
	10:43pm Ike: @Scraps you got my hopes up there and then immediately let me down! Ha ha, that's OK, I'm sure Stan and Mary Wing is a good too. On another note, it was super weird to hear Clay Pigeon revving up John Allen & getting him all excited. Who knew that was even possible? LOL.
	10:44pm Switchblade Batman: Anyone know who Hearty White team up with?
	10:45pm River: @Switchblade I'd have thought it'd be more likely in the tri-state area. People outside that must be really into WFMU to tune in etc.
	10:45pm Alex of Chicago: Thanks, Evan and WFMU. Also, $mall ¢hange, Todd-o-phonic, Rex, Glen and X-Ray, Dave Hill and others who I forgot to attribute in my pledge.
	10:47pm Danne D: Hearty White was Bryce's emcee and they were fabulous together. Dave Hill and CC were amazing too.
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: Yeah, I'm not eligible.
	10:48pm Switchblade Batman: Nup @River. I really haven't run in to very many. But it could be the circles I run in. I tend to be the one that goes indy and weird with my music. The rest do top 40, oldies, one never listens to any thing but Iron Maiden.
	10:48pm herb.nyc: Evan got English award in 4th grade? Neat. I got Hebrew medal in 12th grade. I poop you not. As for Nachum, feh, he's dead to me (not!)
	10:50pm River: @Switchblade That's a shame. I'm British, I don't often run into WFMU fans either! Trying to spread the word though. Too good not to share.
	10:51pm Switchblade Batman: I've been working on that @river. My London people never listen to me.
	10:52pm Switchblade Batman: @River, if you click on my profile I have my twitter there. You know so we don't flood the place.
	10:53pm Danne D: Bedazzle those phones!!!
	10:53pm Ike: @DD, agreed, Hearty White MCing for Bryce last Friday was fantastic. But Dave Hill seemed a little stumped by CC from what I heard, though let's be fair, Dave had the plague, and he still did better than most would have, because CC is... like, far out, man. Really far out. @SB@10:44, last Thurs. was Chris M. MCing for Hearty. A solid combo.
	10:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Let's get bedazzled!
	10:54pm River: @Switchblade Aww. London's pretty crap anyway. Bristol is definitely the most WFMUey UK city.
	10:55pm Bootsie: Love love love this song so much!!
	10:56pm Switchblade Batman: @River, never had the pleasure of Bristol. I adored Brighton though. I would love to move there.
	10:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Radio never died it just had to transform.
	10:59pm Figgsrock: Bedazzler payment submitted, EFD
	11:00pm River: @Switchblade No twitter account listed that I can see... Maybe because I don't have an account on here(?). I'm sure I'd only disappoint anyway. :P
	11:02pm Switchblade Batman: I doubt that. @River. But you can HMU @ MyNameIsMylo. If you'd like. No worries if not.
	11:04pm Danne D: @Ike I think Dave shines in unpredictable situations. (I tell myself this on Monday's as well)
	11:04pm Pat Byrne: Co-host here- just checking in.
	11:05pm Danne D: Hiya Pat
	11:06pm Switchblade Batman: @Ike, I listened to some of the Dave and CC, Dave is great. I understand the appeal of CC but not my thing.
	11:11pm Figgsrock: Having the social media airhorn played in my honor is the highlight of my month.
	11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Feeling strong, Pat? You were co-hosting twelve hours ago. Stay hydrated!
	11:15pm Switchblade Batman: Steal coffee from the office, and use that cash for WFMU that's what I did
	11:16pm Minnesota Jeff: Switchblade Batman with a genius idea
	11:17pm Pat Byrne: "Steal coffee from the office, and use that cash for WFMU that's what I did" Hey, Switchblade- may I read this comment on air? BECAUSE I LOVE IT!!!
	11:17pm Minnesota Jeff: Heck, even if you dont work in an office. Its doubtful many offices would notice you dont work there if you walk in and snag a cuppa from their breakroom.
	11:18pm Ike: Oops I forgot the trio of Bronwyn C./Jim the Poet/Station Mgr. Ken yesterday, also fantastic. And this morning Glen Jones told John Allen a great story about how he got his start in radio on a leased-time station.
	11:25pm Pat Byrne: Pat here again.. ya'll good?!?!
	11:26pm Danne D: Not as good as you Pat :)
	11:26pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah go for it @Pat
	11:33pm Figgsrock: Nice Simpsons reference Pat!
	11:36pm Switchblade Batman: Thanks @Pat. Made my night!
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Kid is All Right.
	11:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Fortune cookie I received today: "It's not the end yet. Let's stay with it."
	11:41pm Joe B: This ELO tune was the highlight of last year's Yo La Tengo FMU fundraising show
	11:45pm Santos L Halper: This Prix album is great, pledge for it!
	11:46pm Alex of Chicago: Forgot to say thanks to Joe B. and Pat as well.
	11:46pm efd: looking forward to this year's YLT show on Saturday!
	11:46pm chris_in_space: Hey all. Joining late today. Just squeezed my pledge in. Every single Wednesday, I love being here with you all woooooot
	11:49pm Switchblade Batman: Gonna be great @EFD
	11:52pm Joe B: Staten Island's No. 2 DJ!
	12:00am Switchblade Batman: That Giant Dog Set was cray good.
	12:00am Danne D: Great job Evan and Pat :)
	12:01am Joe B: great job Evan and Pat!
	3:15am Libby: What happened to Mac (antique phonograph show)? I hope he is well.
