	♥ 9:39pm Doug in JC: coelacanth: I'd say solid 1990 and on
	9:40pm herb.nyc: Ann was in Pulsalama. Now, what tv comedy was Ann Magnuson a regular on? I watched half an episode.
	♥ 9:41pm efd: @Sid, thanks for that -- I just realized that, weirdly, the inner sleeve of my copy is from the Frampton album so that's why it had a 1975 date!
	9:41pm Listener Bop Monroe: was re-caulking the edging of the bathtub. great soundtrack Mr.EFD. thnx!

She also guest-starred on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless in 2013.
	♥ 9:43pm coelacanth∅: Doug thanks but it's actually easily possible that i've never heard it! i guess i should check it out?
	9:43pm Sid: Wind of Change, the first Frampton solo album. Kudos on playing Alright, the last track of the original LP. Good stuff.
	9:43pm Listener Bop Monroe: thnx wiki!

	9:48pm herb.nyc: At the Archive of Contemporary Music sale (ends 12/22, 11-6pm everyday, TriBeCa), I overheard a man mention Chandra. I told him of their Evan appearance. And show that night. He was thinking of going. I hope he did.
	9:49pm herb.nyc: Oh, thanks Bop Wiki Monroe!
	9:51pm Listener Bop Monroe: its all good
	♥ 9:52pm efd: thank you for your PR work, herb!
	9:54pm Sybil: Ahhh, Ann Magnuson was the realtor in Panic Room. Now I can retire with my mind at peace.
	♥ 10:01pm mariano: If it were French it would me mèmes though...
	♥ 10:03pm efd: a circumflex over that e. I believe, if we're picking nits :)
	10:03pm Sid: Même chose?
	10:03pm herb.nyc: Haha, the incorrekt pronunciation of Memes made me think of tv show In Living Color. The 2 way gay movie critics, and they reviewed "A Few Good Mens". Hilarious. / wow, great song by Sasha Bell.
	♥ 10:04pm mariano: Même = same, but mème = internet meme.
	10:05pm Sid: Took French in middle & high school. Drop-dead gorgeous young teacher, and that's about all I remember 43 years later.
	10:05pm Roberto: Dreamer, nothing but a dreamer? Anyone?
	♥ 10:05pm mariano: @Sid: lucky you. My high-school French teacher was Ms Divine, and she looked like Divine.
	10:06pm Roberto: Mariano FTW.
	10:07pm antonio: Ha!!
	♥ 10:14pm Aitch: Always yay for Sparks. Nice EFD
	♥ 10:14pm Bootsie: Thank you, Evan!!
	10:14pm Andres: My fave Sparks album!
	♥ 10:15pm Aitch: My 40th set still temptingly unopened.
	♥ 10:16pm Alex of Chicago: This is cool.
	♥ 10:17pm efd: @Aitch how can you stand it??
	10:19pm ?: Who came first Sparks or Squeeze doing Take me I'm yours one of those synchronicity events of songwriting. I guess it's Sparks
	♥ 10:20pm efd: I think they came out around the same time - parallel paths!
	♥ 10:22pm Aitch: Not easy EFD. Perhaps after I score a new stylus. Sparks (Halfnelson) pre-date Squeeze. Different animals, Sparks still going and still good, as much as I liked Squeeze at the time.
	♥ 10:24pm efd: rihgt, Sparks/Half Nelson were around before Squeeze; I think "Take Me I'm Yours" and "Tryouts For The Human Race" came out around the same time though.
	♥ 10:24pm Aitch: New Pornos paying Sydney soonish. I should go, weirdly good. I've seen Neko Case - wow. So many songwriters in NP they always seem to end up with 4 melodies in every track. If they ever get it all together simultaneously they might be the best pop band ever (but they won't)
	♥ 10:25pm mariano: Damn - just Googled Sparks out of curiosity. They go back to friggin' 1968? Different name, but still, been in the game since then. It's like when I found out that Andy Summers has been playing gigs since the 50s. He was in the Animals and Soft Machine briefly.
	♥ 10:27pm Aitch: Andy Summers was a Yardbird. Sparks up to about 25 albums, all good in their own way, some of the latest ones are the best. Lil Beethoven, Hello Young Lovers.
	10:28pm johnk77: great show ron & russell from sparks were at the t.a.m.i. show in the audience 1964
	10:29pm Andres: Evan - We pronounce it CanCon, 'eh.
	10:35pm ?: I remember they played the Sparks actual video of get in the swing on Rock concert or midnight special I had just found indiscreet album as a cut out. I told my friend that I had this album that was quite zany and then we saw the the video of get in the swing and he knew what I meant
	10:36pm Steve: Hey EFD, did Ultimate Painting break up sometime ?
	♥ 10:38pm efd: hey Steve, yeah, sadly they broke up nearly two years ago, just before a new album was supposed to come out.
	♥ 10:39pm efd: I remember that "Get In The Swing" video! I saw it back then too.
	♥ 10:39pm Aitch: Sparks 1979 Kenny Everett Video show, Hot Gossip dancers blew my teenage mind #1 Song in Heaven. www.youtube.com...
	10:41pm Listener Bop Monroe: my brother took me to see them at The Ritz, the Angst In My Pants tour. just make me so happy and laugh! i predict!
	10:41pm Steve: Oh man ! I didn't know that, EFD ?! That's a drag and that there was a new album planned, too. Oh well what can you do. They were better together than apart.
	10:45pm Andres: It got super funky with this Metal Glo!
	♥ 11:19pm Bootsie: Yes! I never hear the Head East version anymore
	♥ 11:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: I heard Rainbow's version of "Since You've Been Gone." Now to go see which came first.
	11:20pm Roberto: Yo this is hawt.
	♥ 11:21pm Bootsie: @Ken I _think_ Head East?
	♥ 11:24pm Bootsie: Yes, Head East did it first... but I did NOT know it was originally a Russ Ballard tune! en.m.wikipedia.org...
	11:37pm Mike Sin: Head East had the better version, but Rainbow probably had the better video. :)
	♥ 11:42pm efd: I don't remember the video(s), but I'll take your word for it!
	11:49pm herb.nyc: Pernice! At their recent NYC show, a woman was all smiley at stage front. Joe pointed her out-"she and I were in a band, my first" (paraphrased). so sweet. Great great record.
	♥ 11:49pm mariano: Ooh, Rainbow videos: Stone Cold, Street of Dreams...
