	10:10pm chris_in_space: @Cooh John: Connection is with two members of eyelids–John Moen was in Boston Spaceships, a wicked Pollard-fronted band, and Chris Slusarenko was in GbV for a couple years near the end of the 2004 version.

	10:28pm Switchblade Batman: But I'm loopy this sec @EFD
	10:30pm Eric Hat: Not to be too picky, but that Fancey track you played was actually called 'Baby Sunshine'...I believe.
	10:30pm herb.nyc: WLIR? Docu? I wish I still had my tee, gotten when they used my song segué idea. Didn't ex wnyu dj Hugh Foley work there for awhile?
	10:31pm efd: oh whoops! Thanks Eric, you're probably right - the LP doesn't have track numbers and I either miscounted or the titles aren't in sequence. Thanks!

	10:50pm Matt Warwick: It doesn't get more insidery than that, Lord Inside.
	10:51pm Switchblade Batman: Oh what up @Matt
	10:52pm Switchblade Batman: I still don't get the point of snapchat, why make a video that's going to fade away?
	10:52pm wakka wakka: respect!
	10:53pm JakeGould: Someone connected to WLIR lived in Manhattan Brach in Brooklyn in the early 1980s. I lived nearby (in junky Brighton Beach) and me and friends would ride past this house that always seemed to have a WLIR van parked in the driveway. That’s all past saying the obvious: WLIR blew my JHS kid’s mind. Shout out to DJ Donna Donna!
	10:54pm Switchblade Batman: Oh that's so cool @jake, I'm from near there originally
	11:06pm Julie M Brooklyn: Good night, Evan. Good show. It's not just about The Bedazzler, not by any means! Among many other nice things to listen to, I like The Fallen Leaves, and I know you've played them often, but tonight that stood out for me. And I guess I'm going out on a high note with a Sundazed cut. Bye all!
	11:07pm efd: goodnight Julie, thanks for listening!
	11:27pm Aharon: Glad I got my Lambchop concert attending taken care of in the 90s so I can focus on tomorrow night's draft, for which I have not yet prepared! Is A-Rod still playing?
	11:30pm Scraps: ah ah ah the wonder stuff
	11:38pm efd: he absolutely is, Aharon, and you shouldn't pick any other players until you see his name come up.
	11:58pm Switchblade Batman: Good show @EFD have a great night
