	9:10pm listener 126464: that was nice
	9:12pm medson: That Cheap Trick sounded so good driving home. Turned up really loud.
	9:13pm Eddy in Australia: Hey Evan and all. Can't believe it's a year since I was there in the studio. Are you doing the Record Fair Listening Party tonight?
	9:15pm efd: hey Eddy! Wow, I can't believe it's been a year either! Believe it or not I made NO PURCHASES at this year's fair! I was selling this year and pretty much stuck to my table (apart from occasional trips to the food stand and rest room).
	9:16pm andrewb: weirdly one of my favorite driving songs is Cheap Trick's cover of "don't be cruel"
	9:16pm efd: (plus I still have a whole mess of records from last fall's Chicago/Milwaukee trip I haven't got to yet)
	9:17pm JakeGould: Hey EFD! This sounds like a perfect weird summery show.
	9:18pm listener 126464: Hollie was with Shiela B. a couple months ago. great show
	9:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Blahr...I recognize the Peter Murphy song. Have not heard it in many years.
	9:24pm Eddy in Australia: Wow, can't believe you didn't make a single purchase! Although I know that feeling of looking at a pile of unplayed records from past trips.
	9:25pm JakeGould: @Ken: Erin Go Blahr!!!
	9:27pm efd: I was trying to maximize my profits! :D
	9:27pm JakeGould: I wonder if there’s a market for coating the KonMari method to record collectors?
	9:33pm Joe R.: eightiesorcanadian.tumblr.com
	9:34pm Matt Clarke: Hey efd! A rare Weds nite off, so I am sitting up on the roof enjoying you over the FM dial!
	9:34pm Eddy in Australia: I have a foggy memory of that New Inspiration song from my ('70s) childhood. Evan: Why didn't you buy the actual Commodores album instead?!
	9:35pm Eddy in Australia: JakeGould: Get to work on that idea and let me know when it's ready for action!
	9:36pm efd: nice, happy to have you Matt! And of course that goes for all the rest of you as well! Thanks for joining me tonight.
	9:36pm efd: Eddy, it was a few years after that LP came out and the record they were playing in-store was that soundtrack, so that's what I bought.
	9:37pm Jeff k: Love the Lake Ruth album
	9:44pm medson: I really like this track
	9:44pm efd: haven't been able to give it a thorough listen yet but I like what I've heard so far
	9:46pm Quasi Mojo: Mets lost. Braves are now first place in NL east
	9:47pm Quasi Mojo: It was quite an ugly loss to boot
	9:48pm efd: and a deGrom injury, I think I saw??
	9:49pm Quasi Mojo: Yes, that's correct. and I think the Mets only had 2 hits for the night
	9:52pm Quasi Mojo: No remedy for a sore loser like hearing some new tracks on the EFD show
	9:52pm efd: haha, glad I can help a little bit
	10:08pm Jerry koosmsn jr: great meeting you at the record fair! next time I will remember your first name...hey..do you remember a group of white prep school kids who played funk? from the 80s.Miller Miller and Miller and Sloan???
	10:09pm efd: sure do, those kids played all the time back when I was at NYU. Pretty sure I have their single at home too!
	10:12pm Quasi Mojo: ha no. 36
	10:14pm Mister Dobalina: This set is hitting the spot!!
	10:15pm Jerry koosman jr: I can't believe no one signed them! maybe due to underage drummer! haha!
	10:17pm Quasi Mojo: The history of Spiny Normen on their bandcamp page is pretty funny
	10:34pm Mike Sin: Very much enjoy the Moondoggies. Listening live from Arizona! Woke up this morning to a foot of snow at the Grand Canyon. Now 20 degrees warmer.
	10:35pm JakeGould: @EddyinAustralia: I’ll let you know! And if you fly me out to Australia? Even better, mate!
	10:36pm efd: hi Mike! Whoa, and I thought the weather here was wacky. Thanks for tuning in, have a great time out there!
	10:40pm herb.nyc: XTC triggered a Monday memory, wfmu's Mark R aired a journalist's interview w colin m and terry c. I woke to pee and heard parts, then promptly forgot. Til now.
	10:41pm efd: he's got part 2 of that interview coming up on his show this week! Will mention at the next mic break.
	10:46pm Stevel: Tonight's vibe fits me well. Been a weird few months. Just life, but it wears. Not sure how this is a compliment to you, but there you go!
	10:47pm Quasi Mojo: That was a meaty set
	10:57pm Hoboken Jack: If that 9 acts I've seen, 1 I haven't meme comes around again, Frankie Cosmos would be a good fake for me. Right up my alley, have had a million opportunities, but have never seen her.
	11:15pm andrewb: nights in white satin on white vinyl of course (dickies 7")
	11:25pm medson: Thanks for the great tunes efd. Off to dream land
	11:27pm efd: goodnight medson!
	11:52pm Eddy in Australia: Great show, Evan. Way too many tracks for my wants list. Have a good break.
