	9:30pm Fragonard: ...a jam band packed show
	9:31pm CC: I love people from Boston they're supposed to be the liberal minded people that keep America straight!!!
	9:33pm choggie: I like The Stereotype of people from Boston being rude and crude
	9:33pm choggie: I just imagined that everyone from Boston is like Bill Burr
	9:34pm CC: I thought that was people from New York City???
	9:34pm joe: The King Trigger website www.kingtrigger.co.uk...
	9:37pm CC: I come across bands all the time that I think sound amazing!!!... sometimes I get a little drunk???
	9:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, efd and funk fans. If you bump into Andy Breckman some time, make it a point to show him the Bedazzler ringtone on your phone.
	9:38pm joe: Seems King Trigger's bass player bass player did some work with Johnny Thunders
	9:39pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan, I thought King Trigger would have been one of your WNYU-era faves. I recall them as part of a very weak 'tribal pop' push in the wake of Bow Wow Wow and their Burundi drums. Speaking of those days, did you hear about APB?
	9:40pm Chop Scott: This sounds amazing--Hats off Mario Santana!!
	9:40pm patrick321: Well damn. 30 year listener and first time ever hearing king trigger on wfmu! I used to own that 12-inch “River” because a girlfriend loved whatever was the happening record of the week from the UK
	9:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, HP Ken, all! Live set sounding great -- thanks Mario!
	9:41pm CC: my son used to have a ringtone that's simply said shut the fuck up!!!
	9:41pm Fragonard: Great live set!
	9:42pm Danne D: RIP Harry Harrison :(
	9:43pm efd: @Danne Harry Harrison tribute coming up at 10:30!
	9:43pm efd: @Chop Scott 100% agree, he did an outstanding job as usual! @fragonard glad you're enjoying it!
	9:44pm efd: @Eddy I must have just missed King Trigger when I was at NYU... maybe it came out in late 1982 when I wasn't there anymore. APB is coming to NYC soon I think, is that what you're referring to?
	9:45pm efd: appreciate all the King Trigger info/memories, will investigate further!
	9:45pm Switchblade Batman: I miss mix tapes so much. I'm actually thinking about hooking up an old tape deck I found and making some new ones.
	9:48pm CC: So profound!!!
	9:48pm johnk77: very nice poppy sound on the live mix here also i had never heard of king trigger thanks to @joe found they had black female drummer who spent time in grenada thought i heard caribbean riddim in there
	9:49pm JakeGould: Hey!
	9:50pm Eddy in Australia: Re. King Trigger: 'The River' is the only song I know of theirs so I'm not vouching for any others - I was a bit like Patrick321's girlfriend! Re. APB: Yep, two shows at the Mercury - I emailed you about it the other week.
	9:50pm Tommy in Neversink: WOW !! I LOVE Jim's Big Ego
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: ABP?
	9:51pm Jeezy: This is one of the best mixed, best sounding live sets I've heard on FMU...
	9:51pm Handy Haversack: Derp, sorry, APB?
	9:52pm Tommy in Neversink: And the sound is really great . I didn't even know it was live till I looked at the web page
	9:52pm efd: @Eddy I did not get that email!
	9:54pm patrick321: @Eddy in Australia It was exactly that. My gf at the time was a mad bww fan.
	9:58pm mariano: Heyyyy, whassap efd, everyone!
	9:59pm patrick321: Enjoying Jim’s Big Ego. Anyone else hear an echo of Ben Watt in the vocal phrasing on previous tune “another thousand years”?
	10:02pm johnk77: did wfmu get better mics? great live sound tonight;>
	10:03pm efd: ha, same mics as far as I know!
	10:04pm listener 126464: Josh from Split Squad and Boston Red Sox
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: Josh in the house!
	10:05pm efd: @listener 126464 Correct! I didn't want to go off on that tangent
	10:05pm efd: the band isn't called Josh's Big Ego, after all...
	10:07pm listener 126464: haha good call efd
	10:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Helllllo...alllllllllllllll!!!

	10:14pm efd: @ignatatus666 That's Ron Lundy! :D
	10:22pm mariano: Hey Mr. Pumpy, you sound happy - I take it your dad's home?
	10:23pm ignatatus666: Efd yup!!
	10:35pm listener 126464: the morning mayor
	10:36pm BH: Nancy's so quiet that it's like she's trying to hide that she's talking to Harry
	10:37pm ignatatus666: @efd I realized it but was driving and couldn’t correct it
	10:37pm BH: "You all are way too smart, stay in school for a little longer until this war blows over"
	10:43pm Alex of Chicago: Someone can't wait the 13 days until Spring Training.
	10:46pm DJ E: The Cyrkle are alumnies of my Alma Mater. started playing in the dorms and frat houses on campus.
	10:46pm efd: when I retire I'm going to make a supercut of Harry Harrison saying "A happy how do you to do you" from all of my 50+ IN Sound albums
	10:49pm joe: Oh I wonder if I have a shot.
	10:53pm steveL: My wife thinks the last caller sounded like an Army recruiter. Maybe it was the “sir.”
	10:56pm efd: maybe he won a contest!
	10:57pm BH: "Why not fulfill it in a way that will do you the most good?" - too late, already in Toronto
	10:58pm Danne D: THANKS EVAN :) and Hi everyone :)
	10:59pm efd: A happy how do you do to you, Danne!
	10:59pm mariano: One of my housemates years ago was named Harry Harrison. If you picture Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction, same exact hair, facial hair (this was around 1990 so before PF), except kind of short and a bodybuilder. Quite a character.
	11:00pm Julie M: Tuning in late but had heard/read about Harry Harrison earlier today. Nice tribute.
	11:01pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD Searching for a copy of that Chubby 45 (it's sold out, dammit), noticed that the sleeve pays tribute to The Clash's 'White Man' single.
	11:02pm DJ E: how's it hanging Danne D?
	11:03pm Danne D: that's okay Evan I'm sure you'll have more Harry for us in shows to come as always :)
	11:04pm Danne D: Hanging in and hanging on DJ E :)
	11:04pm Danne D: whoa I may have to check out that Bongos show
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: Thanks for the Harry Harrison tribute (which i only heard since the lovin' spoonful) rest in peace.
	11:06pm listener 126464: Bongos and Bush Tetras in same sentence! I wish it could be 1979 again! not
	11:06pm frenchee: Google doc NERD!
	11:06pm Eddy in Australia: The Bongos and Bush Tetras? Start Swimming!
	11:06pm Hoboken Jack: Bongos in Montclair is indeed March 20, with Hoboken's own Tammy Faye Starlite opening!
	11:07pm Steve: Hey EFD, can you ask The Bongos when you see them if they're going to record a brand new album and, if they'll reissue the 'Nuts & Bolts' album on CD & LP ? Out of print since 1983 !
	11:07pm efd: thank you Jack!
	11:07pm efd: @Eddy the Bush Tetras set will be airing a day before the 39th anniversary of that show!
	11:08pm efd: @Frencheee guilty!!
	11:08pm listener 126464: Start Swimming is around here somewhere
	11:15pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD So the Raybeats, dB's and Fleshtones on your following show?
	11:16pm efd: ha, yes, working on it
	11:16pm efd: probably should've added a wink there
	11:17pm steveL: Xetas keep popping up.
	11:17pm mariano: Really liking the Xetas stuff I've been hearing lately on FMU.
	11:28pm mariano: Wait, really? Joannie?
	11:30pm Hoboken Jack: Not to be confused with Erin "Joanie Cunningham" Moran. Fun fact: Eddy played bass in an early incarnation of Hoboken's Vines.
	11:32pm mariano: Wow, so many plot twists tonight! Ok, so there was another Erin Moran? I obviously completely missed out on this whole deal, lol.
	11:33pm efd: yeah, different Eirn Moran!
	11:33pm mariano: Ah, there is another Erin Moran, I see. Well I'll be damned.
	11:36pm mariano: Next I'm gonna learn that Holy Ghost was Potsie.
	11:38pm Somm Ben: Thanks for the Gary Numan
	11:38pm efd: @mariano you'll love my special "All ex-ABC sitcom stars" show in a few weeks
	11:39pm efd: @Somm Ben always my pleasure!
	11:39pm mariano: Oooh -- I will definitely stay tuned!
	11:54pm Hoboken Jack: I think Kiwi Jr is my new favorite band. Was coming on here to favorite the new Malkmus!! They tricked me again!
	11:55pm Danne D: Thanks EFD! Have a good night everyone!!!
	11:55pm mariano: Thanks efd, take care Danne D and everyone!
	11:56pm steveL: Great show. I can listen to HH any time. Did Phil Hartman ever pay Harry his due?
	11:57pm Danne D: bye mariano :) And God Bless Harry Harrison
	2:51am Logan R. Perkins: Love the songs selection and progression, but the sound effects over the songs is irritating.
	2:23pm Cal Zone!: Love the HH Mini-Marathon! I always loved his sense of urgency and excitement of his patter. With that said, I happy to announce that I have decided to enlist in TODAYS UNITED STATES ARMY! So, a HAPPY SO LONG TO YOU! ;)

	9:44pm efd: @Eddy I must have just missed King Trigger when I was at NYU... maybe it came out in late 1982 when I wasn't there anymore. APB is coming to NYC soon I think, is that what you're referring to?
	9:45pm efd: appreciate all the King Trigger info/memories, will investigate further!
	9:45pm Switchblade Batman: I miss mix tapes so much. I'm actually thinking about hooking up an old tape deck I found and making some new ones.

	9:50pm Eddy in Australia: Re. King Trigger: 'The River' is the only song I know of theirs so I'm not vouching for any others - I was a bit like Patrick321's girlfriend! Re. APB: Yep, two shows at the Mercury - I emailed you about it the other week.

	9:52pm efd: @Eddy I did not get that email!

	10:49pm joe: Oh I wonder if I have a shot.
	10:53pm steveL: My wife thinks the last caller sounded like an Army recruiter. Maybe it was the “sir.”

	10:59pm efd: A happy how do you do to you, Danne!
	10:59pm mariano: One of my housemates years ago was named Harry Harrison. If you picture Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction, same exact hair, facial hair (this was around 1990 so before PF), except kind of short and a bodybuilder. Quite a character.
	11:00pm Julie M: Tuning in late but had heard/read about Harry Harrison earlier today. Nice tribute.
	11:01pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD Searching for a copy of that Chubby 45 (it's sold out, dammit), noticed that the sleeve pays tribute to The Clash's 'White Man' single.
	11:02pm DJ E: how's it hanging Danne D?
	11:03pm Danne D: that's okay Evan I'm sure you'll have more Harry for us in shows to come as always :)
	11:04pm Danne D: Hanging in and hanging on DJ E :)
	11:04pm Danne D: whoa I may have to check out that Bongos show

	11:06pm frenchee: Google doc NERD!
	11:06pm Eddy in Australia: The Bongos and Bush Tetras? Start Swimming!
	11:06pm Hoboken Jack: Bongos in Montclair is indeed March 20, with Hoboken's own Tammy Faye Starlite opening!
	11:07pm Steve: Hey EFD, can you ask The Bongos when you see them if they're going to record a brand new album and, if they'll reissue the 'Nuts & Bolts' album on CD & LP ? Out of print since 1983 !
	11:07pm efd: thank you Jack!
	11:07pm efd: @Eddy the Bush Tetras set will be airing a day before the 39th anniversary of that show!
	11:08pm efd: @Frencheee guilty!!
	11:08pm listener 126464: Start Swimming is around here somewhere
	11:15pm Eddy in Australia: @EFD So the Raybeats, dB's and Fleshtones on your following show?
	11:16pm efd: ha, yes, working on it
	11:16pm efd: probably should've added a wink there
	11:17pm steveL: Xetas keep popping up.
	11:17pm mariano: Really liking the Xetas stuff I've been hearing lately on FMU.
	11:28pm mariano: Wait, really? Joannie?
	11:30pm Hoboken Jack: Not to be confused with Erin "Joanie Cunningham" Moran. Fun fact: Eddy played bass in an early incarnation of Hoboken's Vines.
	11:32pm mariano: Wow, so many plot twists tonight! Ok, so there was another Erin Moran? I obviously completely missed out on this whole deal, lol.
	11:33pm efd: yeah, different Eirn Moran!
	11:33pm mariano: Ah, there is another Erin Moran, I see. Well I'll be damned.
	11:36pm mariano: Next I'm gonna learn that Holy Ghost was Potsie.
	11:38pm Somm Ben: Thanks for the Gary Numan
	11:38pm efd: @mariano you'll love my special "All ex-ABC sitcom stars" show in a few weeks
	11:39pm efd: @Somm Ben always my pleasure!
	11:39pm mariano: Oooh -- I will definitely stay tuned!
	11:54pm Hoboken Jack: I think Kiwi Jr is my new favorite band. Was coming on here to favorite the new Malkmus!! They tricked me again!

	11:55pm mariano: Thanks efd, take care Danne D and everyone!

	11:57pm Danne D: bye mariano :) And God Bless Harry Harrison
	2:51am Logan R. Perkins: Love the songs selection and progression, but the sound effects over the songs is irritating.
	2:23pm Cal Zone!: Love the HH Mini-Marathon! I always loved his sense of urgency and excitement of his patter. With that said, I happy to announce that I have decided to enlist in TODAYS UNITED STATES ARMY! So, a HAPPY SO LONG TO YOU! ;)
