	9:33pm icy in Bklyn soon to be LA: I realized I didn’t have any towels after my after work shower tonite, so I just stood naked in front of my biggest fan.
	9:36pm icy in Bklyn soon to be LA: btw, thanks EFD for those tix a few weeks ago to that band none of us will ever pronounce correctly. We stood, we listened, we criticized heavily, and realized they were just doing the same thing our band was doing, only with an immensely greater level of pressure than we have. Good tones and good times..
	9:37pm icy in Bklyn soon to be LA: btw, my biggest fan is actually my cat, and he wasn’t giving an inch to that propeller driven hot air mover of his..

	10:31pm Halifax Ed: Anyone else laying in bed regretting how much candy they ate today?
	10:33pm efd: just imagine how much you'd be regretting it if you didn't eat any candy today though
	10:37pm spacecowboy: @kev youngbloods played Carnegie hall? huh how was it
	10:38pm spacecowboy: crap efd played youbngbloods and i missed it

	10:49pm Jeezy: So.... I'm about to pour a second whiskey. No other choice, I'd say.
	10:51pm efd: ugh, that stinks Jeezy. :(
	11:01pm queems: i’m psyched to be awake for this tonight
	11:06pm icy in Bklyn soon to be LA: I’m midway thru my 2nd tequila cocktail. I may try another to see if I can get to 2/3’s of the way thru my third.. They’re quite refreshing, as is this efd session..
	11:08pm Andrew S: I thnk M muldaur would be flattered. Well maybe except for the singing part ;)
	11:09pm steveL: efd offers MM the gift of immortality via the MTO. #acronymsrule
	11:12pm Jeezy: Well you perked up my night with those Wussy tix. Thanks EFD! :-)
	11:15pm steveL: Somehow, I never saw the dbs, although I'm pretty sure they came to Madison in the early 80s. That's too bad, as I like pretty much everything associated with them, especially the PH track.
	11:15pm steveL: Jeezy: You got the tix? There just might be a god.
	11:16pm Jeezy: I saw Pete when he played at what used to be Brownies but then became... Damn, I already forget. Now it's Coney Island baby? Yup, Steve! Justice was delivered!
	11:19pm steveL: Justice is sweet.
	11:27pm steveL: Just listened to this Wimps album, earlier tonight. Fucking great stuff! "Its your birthday."
	11:27pm Jeezy: Not as sweet as this Kentucky Mule... TURN IT UP MY BROTHAS!

	11:35pm efd: @steveL he's even older than ME!
	11:48pm steveL: Bill Kelly is the SHIT. It is obligatory to proclaim this. The Sunday King of Rock and Roll. And then some.
	11:49pm Jeezy: Ah, Buffalo Trace...
	11:51pm Andrew S: I dont remember exactly but i think it was probably bill kelly's show that first drew me to WFMU as well, probably read about it on the old bomp! mailing list
	11:51pm steveL: Going out with the power, I see. An old favorite might fit into the end of this set.
	11:52pm efd: if it's the one I'm thinking of I don't think I have time for it!
	11:52pm steveL: Also, Power, the band is nigh in-Google-able.
	11:53pm steveL: Yeah, it goes on a bit. Long fade?
	11:54pm efd: one word repeated over and over and over again?
	11:55pm steveL: Jeezy. Buffalo Trace is a delight and a bargain. Obviously, by the rate of my posts, it gets the job done.
	11:55pm steveL: That might be the one.
	11:57pm jmd: I'd be be Even 'Funk' Devastated to hear it.
	11:57pm Jeezy: Yup. The Trace is always a good time...
