	9:42pm JakeGould: Roll Tony Brown Town!
	9:42pm efd: haha! We must have tried, right? (It's my Mom, everyone!)
	9:42pm JakeGould: Ack! ROLO Tony Brown Town!
	9:43pm JakeGould: Hey Evan’s mom!
	9:44pm JIMD2019: Lol
	9:47pm Figgsrock: @EFD--That was a great story, which I hadn't heard before. Unrelated to Canned Heat -- I just got the new Lloyd Cole in the mail today. Don't know if the station got it but it's got a cool mid-80s vibe going on it.
	9:48pm efd: Mine (and the station's) are en route!
	9:50pm chris_in_space: Smoking set! Stoked for this one tonight, as always, @efd.
	9:50pm Bic Lighter: This is lit

	9:58pm JIMD2019: sup bic lighter thanks for all flicks over the years
	10:03pm herb.nyc: Just tuned in. Maybe a Slick Rick song? re his free Soundview Pk (bronx) show on Saturday. Meow (tacocat!)
	10:07pm sufferwords: cause ya asked - i’ve just dismounted my 2001 Vespa ET4 - i have just completed a trip along Sunset Blvd back from Santa Monica Beach/ water is optimum temperature - great ride - curves in Beverly Hills- Sunset Strip- cut up to hollywood blvd for the last few miles before landing in Los Feliz / it’s hard core perfect SoCal summer- that questionable 99cent disco tune hit at UCLA in Westwood and i achieved true singularity- peace
	10:08pm JIMD2019: That sounds incredible
	10:11pm PedroC: Guys, does anybody know how can I buy the marathon djs swag from 2019 from this page https://wfmu.org/dj-premiums/ ???
	10:13pm efd: @PedroC you get them by pledging, like it says on the page - click the link that says "make your pledge right here," for every $75 you pledge you can pick one premium.
	10:15pm PedroC: @efd hi. Wen I click on pledge I go to another page and that other page doesn’t have the same products that I’m looking foreword to choose. (Wake T-shirt sticker and hat)
	10:19pm efd: @PedroC please email Joe McGasko at jmcgasko at wfmu dot org - he can help you out, I can' talk you through it while I'm on the air :)
	10:20pm Hoboken Jack: If you get a chance, please ask Mr McDonald if I should put salt in my eyes.
	10:20pm PedroC: Thank you So much, I will
	10:23pm Bic Lighter: Yo JIMD2019 happy to light the way
	10:24pm Judy Bromley: Yep, still listening for a minute. Thanks for the hello, thanks for the Stones.
	10:24pm Figgsrock: Ah, it's the CanCon part of the evening...
	10:28pm chris_in_space: Bob Segarini! Toronto salutes you!
	10:30pm Sid: More CanCon. Thought this was an Ozzy cover for a minute.
	10:35pm Sid: Dudes' "Rock 'n' Roll Debutante" reminded me of Mott's "Rock 'n' Roll Queen," and I see that Fred Heller managed both bands.
	10:40pm Figgsrock: "You said hmmm like a cop" made me do a literal spit take.
	10:45pm Daybreak and the discovery!: How old are these men?!? Don’t discount your own age and experience and the power of that connecting you to a band, especially the moment just described. I think that really influences a preference between early vs. later preferences.
	10:48pm JakeGould: Quiet shoes!
	10:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Go, Blue Bombers!
	10:53pm JakeGould: https://twitter.com/kevinthekith

Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City.
