	♥ 9:24pm Julie M: I second it, Bootsie. Forgot how much I like The Fall.
	♥ 9:24pm medson: Mark E left us with a huge body of work thats for sure
	♥ 9:27pm dale: there was a thing on fmu a few years ago that sounded like mark smith reading the recipe for a cake. i am being delirious?
	♥ 9:28pm dale: "AM I" being delirious...
	♥ 9:28pm Bootsie: @Julie they've been with me a looking time. Definitely bummed about it.
	9:30pm Eddy in Australia: Nice selection of Fall songs, Evan. Tough task since there's so much to choose from!
	♥ 9:30pm Julie M: Wow, Dale, that sounds like a dream for sure. But then, it's WFMU, so.... ?
	♥ 9:30pm jmd: "...Jersey City-ahh." Nice!
	9:30pm BriJet: Ahoy hoy!
	9:32pm JakeGould: Brix Smith Start’s Tweet over hear is definitely a tearjerker. twitter.com...
	♥ 9:33pm Alex of Chicago: I sure do miss @TerreCherry.
	9:33pm JakeGould: Susana Hoffs shared very nice picture as well.twitter.com...
	♥ 9:37pm Fuzzy: Wow, just now hearing about this -- R.I.P. Elastic Man, thanks for all the wonderful way-out music.
	♥ 9:38pm melinda: I'll just imagine the air horn sounding.
	♥ 9:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Everybody make the EFD Social Media Airhorn blast in your head!
	9:41pm JakeGould: @EFD: So did you mean Jim Jackson’s “F-Oldin' Money?” www.discogs.com...
	9:45pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Airhorn? Like a boxed set of Fall isn't enough? Saw them once. All good, fun, done.
	♥ 9:45pm Alex of Chicago: The intro to this song is !!!!
	♥ 9:48pm jmd: w/ @Alex of Chicago on the intro. I starred the song before the first verse!
	♥ 9:53pm Kat in Chicago: Hallo EFD and Funkateers.
	♥ 9:54pm efd: @JakeGould yes, pretty sure that's it - thanks! hello to everyone who's commented since the last time I said hello! I see you. :D
	♥ 9:57pm Switchblade Batman: You guys have been playing the hell out of this version of walk like an egyptian. EFD, it's so awesome
	♥ 9:58pm efd: I don't usually go in for the slowed-down/sped-up novelty trick, but I L O O O O O O V E this version of "Walk Like An Egyptian."
	♥ 9:58pm Alex of Chicago: this is the original song slowed down?
	♥ 9:58pm efd: @Switchblade B It's kind of infectious! Or contagious, I'm not sure which.
	♥ 9:59pm efd: I believe it's the Chipmunks version
	♥ 9:59pm Switchblade Batman: It's that back beat that does it. It just changes it completely and makes it sound so gothy.
	♥ 9:59pm efd: which would explain why the vocals sound quasi-normal
	♥ 9:59pm Alex of Chicago: k
	10:00pm BriJet: love this!!
	10:01pm Andrew S: just tuned in and didnt read any news today but when I saw there were three fall songs in a row on the playlist knew it was bad news before googling :/
	♥ 10:01pm efd: full Chipmunks Sludgefest album (!) is here: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 10:02pm Kat in Chicago: Haha I finally know the lyrics to this
	♥ 10:02pm Switchblade Batman: Distrubuting that link to my goth friends now @EFD, thanks for that.
	♥ 10:03pm melinda: On the same premium CD there is a version of Roxanne where they speed it up a bit each time he says "Roxanne". I laugh every time.
	♥ 10:03pm coelacanth∅: hi Evan (i rudely didn't say hi earlier) back in the day i recorded "rock lobster" (the original -not the album version) on 8-track cartridge at ff speed, and playing it back at regular speed was actually scary!
	♥ 10:11pm Tome: bit.ly... didn't know ,
	♥ 10:12pm Bootsie: Wow. A Chipmumks song that didn't make me run away screaming! At first I thought you were playing the Bangles at the wrong speed. :-D
	10:12pm Andrew S: Chipmunks taking a page from Neu, clever little critters
	10:13pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: More Fake Chipmunk from Evan Funk.. played at 16-2/3. Half of 33-1/3 doncha know. Good munkin.
	♥ 10:13pm melinda: Bangles adjacent, I like that.
	♥ 10:13pm coelacanth∅: so i guess the chipmunks' singers sang along with the instrumental track slowed down, but not quite that much.
	10:21pm Stevel: Ramones into Low Doses worked very well.
	10:21pm Andrew S: must have been hard to keep control of them in the studio
	10:22pm Number Six: Dammit Evan! I'm trying to get some work done and you keep playing stuff like that Chipmunks & new Jane Weidlin track just so I have to stop what I'm doing and star and comment. Curse you efd! Btw, Hi & Good Evening. :)
	10:23pm Stevel: This set is making me happy. Also, not easy holding still. Must. Jump. Around.
	♥ 10:28pm Switchblade Batman: Guys, @EFD Always on my mind w/ the chipmunk album is a GEM.
	10:30pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Jane is pretty dreamy to some of us... not to get 'oddly obsessive' or something about her. Motorcycle sound effects? Sounds like playing cards in our bike spokes miked with M-57.
	♥ 10:34pm Switchblade Batman: Hey @Six been a while, how's things?
	♥ 10:35pm Tome: say what !
	10:38pm Number Six: @Batman: Everything's cool, just doing some eBay stuff right now. What's up w/you? I guess you saw Jedi by now.
	♥ 10:39pm Switchblade Batman: 2x @Six, loved it. Minor beef with some of it, overall worthy entry to the canon.
	♥ 10:39pm Switchblade Batman: But you know, writing / working. The usual.
	10:40pm Andrew S: how many star wars movies are there now? Ive still only seen the first 3
	♥ 10:41pm Switchblade Batman: @EFD, off the top of your head do you know if long neck is the same singer for jawbreaker reunion? They sound really similar
	♥ 10:42pm Switchblade Batman: It depends on how you want to count it @Andrew, 9 released. There's a 10th coming out this year. But there's 13 if you want to play it loose.
	10:43pm Andrew S: wow13. i need to get caught up. Just feel like Ill destroy my magical childhood memories of the first 3
	10:45pm Number Six: @Batman: I thought it was okay, not great but not bad. Liked the way they handled Luke but had some other issues. Kind of felt like the end of a trilogy, not the middle.
	♥ 10:45pm Switchblade Batman: 3 prequels, 3 originals, Episode VII, Rogue One, Ep VIII, The clone wars (theatrical release) 2 Ewok movies. The Han Solo movie is coming out this year. Skip the prequels and Clone Wars (it sucked), the 2 Ewok movies aren't canon and no one else remembers them. Also terrible
	10:45pm Andrew S: I saw killing of a sacred deer last night. I thought it was great. Not as good as the Lobster, but still great.
	♥ 10:46pm Kat in Chicago: Core artist!
	♥ 10:46pm Switchblade Batman: I might see 3 billboards on Friday, or the shape of water
	♥ 10:47pm efd: @Switchblade B don't know but seems unlikely given the age difference (Long Neck are pretty young I think, like 20ish)
	♥ 10:47pm efd: @Kat LOL!
	10:47pm Andrew S: both awesome switchblade, cant make a wrong choice
	♥ 10:47pm Kat in Chicago: This is still one of my fave EC tunes
	♥ 10:48pm melinda: I think it's kind of nuts that there are so many Star Wars movies. Been hearing good things about The Shape of Water. I liked Ladybird.
	10:48pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Is Jean Shrimpton still "this year's girl"?
	♥ 10:49pm Switchblade Batman: I thought Jaw Breaker reunion was in their 20s too? That Longneck was a good song.
	♥ 10:49pm Switchblade Batman: Ladybird looked pretty good, I might give it a watch.
	♥ 10:50pm efd: my bad, you might be right then
	10:50pm Number Six: Pepperidge Farm remembers the Ewok movies. I have them on DVD. Btw, they WERE written & produced by Lucas. You could also count the special editions separately if you want.
	♥ 10:51pm Switchblade Batman: My probs with EVIII was that the dialog seemed too quippy at points, there was some logic issues that bugged me. But again, way better than the prequels and I thought it was a positive step for the franchise.
	♥ 10:52pm Switchblade Batman: Lucas is a ying and yang, brought us so much joy. But no man worked harder to destroy star wars.
	10:54pm Andrew S: All his nuts in one basket as a director but they are pretty big nuts
	10:54pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Ying/yang: Isn't that Lucas' point?
	♥ 10:54pm Switchblade Batman: And I don't recognize the Special Editions, period @Six
	♥ 10:56pm Switchblade Batman: @Andrew, he's a better producer, and he came up with an amazing universe. But he needs a filter. @el garee, his point was to cash the fuck out. Not tell stories anymore.
	10:58pm Andrew S: yeah what he created is more than enough to canaonize him forsure, I was being a little facetious.
	♥ 10:58pm Mark Hurst: Great show tonight, thanks.
	♥ 10:59pm Switchblade Batman: sorry, I have a hard time with sarcasm in txt :)
	11:00pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Lucas could have "cashed out" many years ago. No stories? Sorry the entertainment "value" is disappointing. The story and even spiritual value continues. Yes... that's right!
	11:00pm Number Six: Re: Lucas, AGREED! I didn't care for the humor in VIII and also had logic issues, especially with the opening battle & Mary Poppins Leia. I acknowledge the se as a sign of GL's descent into madness.
	♥ 11:01pm Switchblade Batman: and culminated with this... media.giphy.com...
	♥ 11:02pm Switchblade Batman: That's right, that's Han Solo in a dance battle.
	♥ 11:03pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah, Mary Poppins Leia wasn't handled right. Still that vs Jar Jar...
	11:05pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Funkman... play some Joe Frank!!! Missed the Irwin show earlier. Sys full audio here is down until it's well, up!
	11:08pm Number Six: True, but Jar Jar was part of 3 bad films. Leia was a major missed opportunity in a decent film. Which kind of makes it stand out more.
	♥ 11:12pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah I could see that. Shame about Holdo(?) she would have made such a great Carrie replacement for IX
	11:16pm Number Six: Oh no! I DESPISED her more than other character in any of the films. Truly nasty & a horrible tactician. She almost got everyone killied.
	♥ 11:17pm Switchblade Batman: It was a halfway decent idea. Just should have been a little more forthcoming.
	11:22pm Number Six: I'm going to have to stop or I'll end up going on for about 3 hours on how Holdos every decision was the wrong one.
	11:32pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Oh... c'mon... what's a mere three hours. Go for it. Me? Just taking notes to 'cash in". OK, bring in the chimps.
	11:33pm Stevel: Number Six: While I'm a passive fan of the franchise, I'd agree that there was little or no intelligent military strategy displayed in the latest film. Also, Carrie Fisher is great to see, especially as Mary Poppins.
	11:39pm Number Six: Shhh! Don't mention chimps and Star Wars in the same breath. Disney owns Fox now, some genius might get the idea for another shared universe.
	11:44pm Stevel: Ben Edge and the Electric Pencils sound terrific! Very cool. More research required!
	♥ 11:45pm efd: yes, agreed on all counts!
	♥ 11:55pm 12539: Thanks, EFD!
	♥ 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: The music guy in my college paper really liked Ultravox. Seemed like every week, he was comparing some band with them. Every band he mentioned never lived up to Ultravox.
	11:58pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: That guy may have been right...
	12:01am Zetti: Bye. Thanks

	♥ 10:02pm Switchblade Batman: Distrubuting that link to my goth friends now @EFD, thanks for that.
	♥ 10:03pm melinda: On the same premium CD there is a version of Roxanne where they speed it up a bit each time he says "Roxanne". I laugh every time.
	♥ 10:03pm coelacanth∅: hi Evan (i rudely didn't say hi earlier) back in the day i recorded "rock lobster" (the original -not the album version) on 8-track cartridge at ff speed, and playing it back at regular speed was actually scary!
	♥ 10:11pm Tome: bit.ly... didn't know ,
	♥ 10:12pm Bootsie: Wow. A Chipmumks song that didn't make me run away screaming! At first I thought you were playing the Bangles at the wrong speed. :-D
	10:12pm Andrew S: Chipmunks taking a page from Neu, clever little critters
	10:13pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: More Fake Chipmunk from Evan Funk.. played at 16-2/3. Half of 33-1/3 doncha know. Good munkin.
	♥ 10:13pm melinda: Bangles adjacent, I like that.
	♥ 10:13pm coelacanth∅: so i guess the chipmunks' singers sang along with the instrumental track slowed down, but not quite that much.
	10:21pm Stevel: Ramones into Low Doses worked very well.
	10:21pm Andrew S: must have been hard to keep control of them in the studio
	10:22pm Number Six: Dammit Evan! I'm trying to get some work done and you keep playing stuff like that Chipmunks & new Jane Weidlin track just so I have to stop what I'm doing and star and comment. Curse you efd! Btw, Hi & Good Evening. :)
	10:23pm Stevel: This set is making me happy. Also, not easy holding still. Must. Jump. Around.
	♥ 10:28pm Switchblade Batman: Guys, @EFD Always on my mind w/ the chipmunk album is a GEM.
	10:30pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Jane is pretty dreamy to some of us... not to get 'oddly obsessive' or something about her. Motorcycle sound effects? Sounds like playing cards in our bike spokes miked with M-57.
	♥ 10:34pm Switchblade Batman: Hey @Six been a while, how's things?
	♥ 10:35pm Tome: say what !
	10:38pm Number Six: @Batman: Everything's cool, just doing some eBay stuff right now. What's up w/you? I guess you saw Jedi by now.
	♥ 10:39pm Switchblade Batman: 2x @Six, loved it. Minor beef with some of it, overall worthy entry to the canon.
	♥ 10:39pm Switchblade Batman: But you know, writing / working. The usual.
	10:40pm Andrew S: how many star wars movies are there now? Ive still only seen the first 3
	♥ 10:41pm Switchblade Batman: @EFD, off the top of your head do you know if long neck is the same singer for jawbreaker reunion? They sound really similar
	♥ 10:42pm Switchblade Batman: It depends on how you want to count it @Andrew, 9 released. There's a 10th coming out this year. But there's 13 if you want to play it loose.
	10:43pm Andrew S: wow13. i need to get caught up. Just feel like Ill destroy my magical childhood memories of the first 3
	10:45pm Number Six: @Batman: I thought it was okay, not great but not bad. Liked the way they handled Luke but had some other issues. Kind of felt like the end of a trilogy, not the middle.
	♥ 10:45pm Switchblade Batman: 3 prequels, 3 originals, Episode VII, Rogue One, Ep VIII, The clone wars (theatrical release) 2 Ewok movies. The Han Solo movie is coming out this year. Skip the prequels and Clone Wars (it sucked), the 2 Ewok movies aren't canon and no one else remembers them. Also terrible
	10:45pm Andrew S: I saw killing of a sacred deer last night. I thought it was great. Not as good as the Lobster, but still great.
	♥ 10:46pm Kat in Chicago: Core artist!
	♥ 10:46pm Switchblade Batman: I might see 3 billboards on Friday, or the shape of water
	♥ 10:47pm efd: @Switchblade B don't know but seems unlikely given the age difference (Long Neck are pretty young I think, like 20ish)
	♥ 10:47pm efd: @Kat LOL!
	10:47pm Andrew S: both awesome switchblade, cant make a wrong choice
	♥ 10:47pm Kat in Chicago: This is still one of my fave EC tunes
	♥ 10:48pm melinda: I think it's kind of nuts that there are so many Star Wars movies. Been hearing good things about The Shape of Water. I liked Ladybird.
	10:48pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Is Jean Shrimpton still "this year's girl"?
	♥ 10:49pm Switchblade Batman: I thought Jaw Breaker reunion was in their 20s too? That Longneck was a good song.
	♥ 10:49pm Switchblade Batman: Ladybird looked pretty good, I might give it a watch.
	♥ 10:50pm efd: my bad, you might be right then
	10:50pm Number Six: Pepperidge Farm remembers the Ewok movies. I have them on DVD. Btw, they WERE written & produced by Lucas. You could also count the special editions separately if you want.
	♥ 10:51pm Switchblade Batman: My probs with EVIII was that the dialog seemed too quippy at points, there was some logic issues that bugged me. But again, way better than the prequels and I thought it was a positive step for the franchise.
	♥ 10:52pm Switchblade Batman: Lucas is a ying and yang, brought us so much joy. But no man worked harder to destroy star wars.
	10:54pm Andrew S: All his nuts in one basket as a director but they are pretty big nuts
	10:54pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Ying/yang: Isn't that Lucas' point?
	♥ 10:54pm Switchblade Batman: And I don't recognize the Special Editions, period @Six
	♥ 10:56pm Switchblade Batman: @Andrew, he's a better producer, and he came up with an amazing universe. But he needs a filter. @el garee, his point was to cash the fuck out. Not tell stories anymore.
	10:58pm Andrew S: yeah what he created is more than enough to canaonize him forsure, I was being a little facetious.
	♥ 10:58pm Mark Hurst: Great show tonight, thanks.
	♥ 10:59pm Switchblade Batman: sorry, I have a hard time with sarcasm in txt :)
	11:00pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Lucas could have "cashed out" many years ago. No stories? Sorry the entertainment "value" is disappointing. The story and even spiritual value continues. Yes... that's right!
	11:00pm Number Six: Re: Lucas, AGREED! I didn't care for the humor in VIII and also had logic issues, especially with the opening battle & Mary Poppins Leia. I acknowledge the se as a sign of GL's descent into madness.
	♥ 11:01pm Switchblade Batman: and culminated with this... media.giphy.com...
	♥ 11:02pm Switchblade Batman: That's right, that's Han Solo in a dance battle.
	♥ 11:03pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah, Mary Poppins Leia wasn't handled right. Still that vs Jar Jar...
	11:05pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Funkman... play some Joe Frank!!! Missed the Irwin show earlier. Sys full audio here is down until it's well, up!
	11:08pm Number Six: True, but Jar Jar was part of 3 bad films. Leia was a major missed opportunity in a decent film. Which kind of makes it stand out more.
	♥ 11:12pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah I could see that. Shame about Holdo(?) she would have made such a great Carrie replacement for IX
	11:16pm Number Six: Oh no! I DESPISED her more than other character in any of the films. Truly nasty & a horrible tactician. She almost got everyone killied.
	♥ 11:17pm Switchblade Batman: It was a halfway decent idea. Just should have been a little more forthcoming.
	11:22pm Number Six: I'm going to have to stop or I'll end up going on for about 3 hours on how Holdos every decision was the wrong one.
	11:32pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Oh... c'mon... what's a mere three hours. Go for it. Me? Just taking notes to 'cash in". OK, bring in the chimps.
	11:33pm Stevel: Number Six: While I'm a passive fan of the franchise, I'd agree that there was little or no intelligent military strategy displayed in the latest film. Also, Carrie Fisher is great to see, especially as Mary Poppins.
	11:39pm Number Six: Shhh! Don't mention chimps and Star Wars in the same breath. Disney owns Fox now, some genius might get the idea for another shared universe.
	11:44pm Stevel: Ben Edge and the Electric Pencils sound terrific! Very cool. More research required!
	♥ 11:45pm efd: yes, agreed on all counts!
	♥ 11:55pm 12539: Thanks, EFD!
	♥ 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: The music guy in my college paper really liked Ultravox. Seemed like every week, he was comparing some band with them. Every band he mentioned never lived up to Ultravox.
	11:58pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: That guy may have been right...
	12:01am Zetti: Bye. Thanks
