	9:05pm JakeGould: What do I get?
	9:06pm JakeGould: This show will be more exciting than the news that the MTA raised the speed limit on the N and R trains this past week!
	9:07pm Quasi Mojo: I that a joke or did that really happen?
	9:12pm JakeGould: @QuasiMojo: YES! They did! It was 15mph since an MTA accident in 1996, but the new MTA chief has a “Speed Team” that is assigned the task of reassessing speed limits and they raised it to… 30mph!!! I can get home from “the city” in less than 30 minutes now!!!
	9:13pm loveless: Awww, Pete Shelley.
	9:14pm Barkevious Shabazz: Everybody's Happy Nowadays courtesy Aldous Huxley.
	9:14pm Quasi Mojo: @JakeGould wow that is big news. Which corridor of the line was it? Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens? Or the whole thing?

	9:26pm Pedro in Arlington: As the morning guy says, "That sounds sooo good."
	9:27pm efd: many of the earlier tracks were produced by "The other Martin," Martin Hannett!
	9:29pm TDK60: Buzzcocks. saw 'em once, at least!
	9:30pm DJ E: I consider "What Do I Get?" a near perfect song.
	9:31pm Quasi Mojo: @DJE agreed.
	9:32pm DJ E: Got to see The Buzzcocks twice about 4 years ago. Webster Hall with Titus Andronicus opening and Irving Plaza. Both shows were blast and I was surprised how youthful Shelley's voice was.
	9:32pm TDK60: Everybody's Happy Nowadays - a near perfect song. on and on it goes..
	9:33pm Quasi Mojo: Of course.
	9:37pm Alan Partlow: Savak!
	9:38pm Quasi Mojo: Nice stereo mix, too.
	9:39pm efd: It's another SinSational Sound™ mix!
	9:46pm Quasi Mojo: These tracks are all from the new album.
	9:48pm herb.nyc: That Buzzcocks set was so on the mark, thanks Evan. And Savak sound hot. I was at union hall the night of the fire. Was Savak the band that (literally) just finished when the alarm rang?
	9:53pm tak: go Matt
	9:54pm efd: pls specify which Matt :)
	9:58pm Joshua K: Cool
	10:04pm tak: awesome
	10:05pm alanpartlow: Killer live set!

	10:12pm efd: they're awesome, and the new album rules!
	10:13pm efd: released just in time to disrupt best of 2018 lists
	10:13pm Aitch: Found this the other day. Pete Shelley XL1, whole album with the graphics done on a ZX Spectrum (home computer) in 1983. dangerousminds.net...
	10:18pm Hassan.the.eighth: Damn, missed the live set
	10:19pm Cooh John: GREAT show as always...
	10:28pm gw: Evan , last week I said to my lovely Emily - Evan has to wait a whole week to pay tribute to the fantastic Pete Shelley . You played all of his music , most for the first time in the New York area . The New Afternoon Show sst at the center of our new wave punk world . Thank you .
	10:32pm Hoboken Jack: I owned a Timex Sinclair but at age 14 was not yet familiar with Pete Shelley. In fact, Magazine would cross my radar first!
	10:39pm efd: gw, thanks so much for that comment. Pete Shelley's music was such an integral part of my college years... it was a tough loss for sure
	10:42pm Sir Richard Slouch: I had to take off three weeks from my radio show at WMUH in Allentown and Pete passes just as the stretch begins.
	10:43pm efd: oof, I feel your pain Sir Richard. Jack, I had a friend who had a KayPro, I think, but I don't remember knowing anyone with a Sinclair.
	10:45pm Hoboken Jack: That Cloud Nothings track was smoking!!
	10:46pm Aitch: Sinclair was an English thing, USA and here in OZ more likely to have a TRS 80 or Commodore 64 (Apple II if you were rich)
	11:40pm sufferwords: Buzzcocks were our band- almost like a private reserve - i got to hang etc. - open for them - a song for every phase of a love story - they were never anything but thrilling live - guess there’s something to be said for outlasting your hero’s - still it hurts to do so
	11:46pm DJ E: I'll never forget how that the Buzzcocks show at Webster Hall in 2014 had just as many "older" fans as there were late teen/early 20-somethings. Their appeal crossed generations.
	11:47pm Alex of Chicago: Brilliant show. I'm working, but I'll catch the rest tomorrow.
	11:48pm David Colangelo: Can hear Buzzcocks in 999, Robert Smith, many others....great musician....RIP Pete....
	11:53pm efd: thanks everyone
	11:55pm DJ E: No, thank you
